RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich: Match Preview and Expert Football Predictions

Bayern Munich will resume their 2023 league commitments with this tough trip to Leipzig as they seek to win another Bundesliga crown by the end of this term.

The Bavarians had a very good first half of the season and currently top the standings by four points, but the second half of the season is usually different, and it probably is the hardest.

Leipzig has traditionally been one of the hardest clubs for Bayern to face and will be hopeful they can hurt Julian Nagelsmann’s team in this fixture, with both clubs coming into it fresh from the break.

After a slow start, Leipzig is third on the league table, and just six points separate them from the top spot which is occupied by their visitors, so this game is a good chance for them to close the gap between them and the top.

But Bayern has been dominant in the head-to-head between these clubs as they have won four of the last five and haven’t lost any of this fixtures. This means it will not be a sure home win prediction for Leipzig in this game.

Corinthians wants to sign Coutinho

Brazilian club Corinthians is interested in a move for Aston Villa midfielder Philippe Coutinho as he struggles in the Premier League.

The former Liverpool man completed his move to Villa from Barcelona last year but failed to recapture the form he showed while initially on loan with the Midlands side.

Unai Emery does not seem to fancy him, and he has not started a game under the Spanish boss this season, but he has played in 16 matches for them with no goal or assist.

This has made him one player who can be sold for the right price, and Corinthians is looking to add him to their squad, as reported by Matchplug.

However, he earns a lot of money in England, and it could be a problem for them, considering their budget cannot accommodate his current wage.

Depay wants to return to Manchester United

Manchester United could seal the return of Memphis Depay to the club this January, six years after he left them to join Lyon, having been a flop.

He spent two seasons at Old Trafford during his first spell, and the attacker struggled to make an impact before being shipped out to Lyon on an initial loan deal.

United has just lost Cristiano Ronaldo after his contract was terminated by mutual consent and they need a new attacker.

Several names have been linked with a move to the club, and one of their options is Depay, according to a report on Matchplug.

They reveal the Red Devils believe he is now a better player who can handle the pressure of playing for them better and they will add him to their squad to make it stronger.

He is struggling to play at Barcelona because of the form of Lewandowski and could leave early if the right money is paid to Barca.

Liverpool vs Wolves Match Preview

Liverpool has been rocked by the news that Virgil van Dijk could be out with an injury for more than a month, and now it is hard to see them do well this season.

However, they have added Cody Gakpo to their squad this month, and the Dutchman could debut in this game and help them get over their terrible run of form.

Brentford beat the Reds in their last competitive game and the first of 2023, which is one of the worst ways to start the year.

However, Jurgen Klopp has been here before, and we back him to get the team back to form, perhaps from this game.

Julen Lopetegui is having an impressive start to life as Wolves manager, and this will be one of his hardest games since he became their manager.

He did well as the manager of Sevilla in Spain and the Wolves believe he can help their team do better, so we expect his side to give Liverpool a lot of problems in this match.

The best bet prediction for this game is over 2.5 goals. For similar predictions, click here.

Expert Football Predictions: Juventus vs Udinese Match Preview

Juventus will look to build on their seven games winning run in Serie A when they face Udinese in this league game.

The Old Lady has hit top form since November before the World Cup break and has continued to do well in 2023 after beating Cremonese in their last game.

Udinese was the surprise of the season early on after earning some terrific points against top opponents, and it seemed they could break into the top form.

Their form has since dropped, but they remain one of the top clubs in the competition and will not make life easy for Juve.

The visitors are unbeaten in their last three games, but they haven’t beaten Juventus in their last four attempts, losing three of those matches.

Juve knows they must keep winning to catch Napoli who are running away with the title and should turn on the style in this game, but they are struggling for goals.

The best bet prediction for this game is under 2.5 goals. For similar predictions, click here.

AC Milan vs AS Roma: Match Preview and Expert Football Predictions

AC Milan insists on retaining the league title they won last season despite the competition they are facing from other challengers.

They have remained the closest to the impressive Napoli, and less than five points separate them from the top now after they won their first game of 2023 and Napoli lost theirs.

It is a campaign that has brought inconsistent form from the Rossoneri, but there is still time, and this second half hands them a chance to prove their worth.

AS Roma won the Europa Conference League last season and hoped to get into the top four this term, but they have been plagued with inconsistency, which has made it hard for them to reach the top.

They will want to do better in this second half of the season, but Jose Mourinho’s men do not look as well coached as some others, and a top-four finish is still hard to see.

They also won their first game of 2023 against Bologna and will hope they can continue, and beating Milan will hand them a huge doze of confidence for the rest of the season.

The best bet prediction for this game is over 1.5 goals. For similar predictions, click here.

Villarreal vs Real Madrid Match Preview

Real Madrid continues to trail Barcelona on the La Liga table, but now it is just goals that separates them and they will not want to drop points and make that change for any reason.

Los Blancos have dominated the Spanish top flight in recent seasons and would be keen to retain the crown they won last term, which means they must win this game.

Villarreal hasn’t done badly since Unai Emery left them to become the boss of Aston Villa in England and they will be keen to ensure they can continue their recent fine run of form in this fixture.

They have won their last three competitive games and all of their last five, including beating Valencia in their last league game, but they know Madrid is a tougher opponent to face, which will mean they need more effort to win this fixture.

Villarreal do not have a good record in this fixture and has won none of their last five, losing two of them as they look to become one of the top clubs in the league. But they always give Madrid a hard time and we expect this game to end in an away win or draw. For similar predictions, click here.

Chelsea prepares a bid for Mudryk

Chelsea is preparing a rival bid for Arsenal target Mykhailo Mudryk as the Gunners close in on the Ukrainian talent.

Mudryk has turned the heads of European clubs this season with his performance for Shakhtar Donestk and Arsenal is reportedly looking to buy him for 70m euros, a fee that Shakhtar still wants to negotiate up.

The Ukrainians know he is a top talent and wants to make the most money from his departure when he eventually leaves, and Chelsea could make life hard for Arsenal.

Matchplug understands that the Blues consider him the ideal winger for their team and could begin talks with his present employer over leaving them as they try to outbid Arsenal to sign him.

Mikel Arteta’s side will not want to lose out on him and could increase their bid for his signature to make him join them instead.

Cremonese vs Juventus Match Preview

Juventus will hope to restart the season with a win against Cremonese when both clubs meet in this first Serie A game of 2023.

The Old Lady was inconsistent in the first half of the season, which made it hard for them to reach the top of the Serie A table. However, they were in top form before the break and won six consecutive league games.

It has helped them to close in on the top of the league table, with ten points separating them now, but it will still be tough for them to get there as Napoli has been brilliant.

After gaining promotion to Serie A, life in the top flight has not been easy for Cremonese, and they will want to get a win to start the year.

They are currently 18th on the league table and have not won a game all season, picking up draws instead, meaning Juve must be prepared for a tough battle to break them down.

The last time these teams met was in 1996 and Juve has dominated the h2h between them so far.

The best bet prediction for this game is away win/over 1.5 goals. For similar predictions, click here.

Inter Milan vs Napoli Match Preview

Napoli faces one of the biggest tests of their season when they visit Inter Milan for this league game, having dominated Serie A in 2022.

The Partenopei wants to end their trophy drought, but it will not be easy with the likes of Inter, AC MIlan and Juventus chasing them.

They were unbeaten in the first half of the season and the likes of Inter were in terrible shape, which made things easy for them.

Every Italian club has had more than a month’s worth of rest and this second half of the season will be like a new campaign to some, it will be very interesting to see how they react.

Inter has a good record in this fixture and is unbeaten in their last five h2h matches. They also did well in their mid-season friendlies, winning all but one of their matches, while Napoli lost their last two.

The best bet prediction for this game is BTTS. For similar prediction, click here.
