Tottenham vs Chelsea: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Chelsea will travel to North London this Sunday to face London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Both sides are currently struggling for form and results. But Spurs are at least enjoying better results and are ahead of the Blues by eleven points.

Their most recent 2-0 over West Ham, plus Newcastle United’s loss to Liverpool, moved them into fourth position in the table. With the Magpies not in PL action this weekend, they will be desperate to open up a four-point gap to the rest of the top four contestants.

However, this fixture always proves too difficult for them, with just seven wins out of 61 H2Hs in the PL era (D21, L33). Only Manchester United (39) have beaten them more times in the league. Chelsea have won nine of the last 12 H2Hs in all competitions between both sides (D2, L1).

Yet the Blues are struggling and have won once in their last eight PL outings (D4, L3). They have struggled to score goals, with their last ten games in all competitions seeing them score just four times.

But they have scored an average of two goals per game from their last three PL visits to Tottenham (W3), a record that may provide inspiration to end an ongoing seven-match winless run on the road in the Premier League.

Marseille vs PSG: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Marseille and PSG will renew their rivalry this weekend when both sides meet at Stade Vélodrome on Sunday.

The hosts are the closest challengers of PSG for the title this season as they are starting this round five points away from their fiercest rivals. They come into this game in good form at the right time, with just one loss in 14 competitive matches (W12, D1).

So they will be well-motivated to win here and revive their quest for a Ligue 1 title. Having beaten PSG 2-1 at the Orange Vélodrome as recently as two weeks ago in the French Cup, they will fancy their chances here.

The visitors will be desperate to avenge that loss in the French Cup when they meet in Marseille. After three consecutive losses in all competitions for only the third time in the Qatari era, the Parisians bounced back with a breathtaking 4-3 home win against Lille in Ligue 1 last weekend, despite sustaining a 3-2 deficit until the 87th minute.

Yet, they come into this fixture on poor away league form, having lost three of their last four road trips in the league (W1). Each of these three losses came against teams sitting in the top five ahead of this round, so there is a sense that things will not go well for them here.

That said, given the outcome of their most recent games, we can expect a first-half win for either team here. Click here to get 100 Percent winning tips.

AC Milan vs Atalanta: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

AC Milan and Atalanta will battle for Serie A points this Sunday when both sides meet at the San Siro for the 24th round of the 2022/23 Serie A season.

Milan have failed to do well in their title defence, having already lost five league games this season (W13, D5). Three of those losses came in 2023 alone, leaving the San Siro side 21 points off league leaders Napoli.

But they are starting to build momentum again after overcoming a winless run at the start of the year that stretched seven competitive matches (D2, L5) and have now won each of their last three competitive games, with each accompanied by the same 1-0 scoreline.

However, a haul of just one point from their last four matches against sides in the top six at the start of this round hints that continuing that run won’t be easy for Stefano Pioli’s men.

Although Atalanta have had inconsistent results in 2023, they have maintained their quest for a top-four finish. Currently sitting in sixth position, they started this round in sixth place, three points behind their hosts, after an embarrassing loss at home to Lecce.

Despite this, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have a proud record against the division’s best sides on the road, which could play a part in helping them revitalise their season here. Atalanta are undefeated in any Serie A away game against a side starting the round inside the top 12 (W5, D2), with their most recent being a 2-0 win away to Lazio, who separate Atalanta and Milan in the league table.

That said, we can expect both teams to score here.

Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

It’s an unlikely top-of-the-table clash in the Bundesliga this weekend as Bayern Munich welcome the high-flying Union Berlin to Allianz Arena on Sunday.

The Bundesliga holders relinquished their grip on the top of the table after a series of poor results, including an embarrassing 3-2 loss to perennial enemies Borussia Mönchengladbach last time.

That result means that they have won just twice across their last six league matches since the winter break (D3, L1). Yet, that was just a second Bundesliga loss of the season for the hosts, who still finished matchday 21 top of the table on goal difference, and recently beat PSG 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 tie.

But with Borussia Dortmund flying high, Bayern are in danger of dropping down if they fail to beat a Union Berlin side who are also in the title mix. The visitors are level on points, with Bayern having missed a crucial opportunity to go top courtesy of a goalless draw with Schalke 04 in their last league outing.

Yet, they are a team in solid form and come into this tie on the back of a huge 3-1 win over Ajax in the Europa League. The win made it nine games without defeat for the Iron Ones.

Yet, they must make history to win here, as they have never won in seven previous H2H meetings between the two sides (D3, L4).
