Jude Bellingham wins Bundesliga Player of the Season after team misses out on the title on the final day

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham has been named the Bundesliga Player of the Season after a stellar campaign. Bellingham narrowly missed out on winning the league title with Dortmund, who squandered their chance to end Bayern Munich’s dominance on the last day of the campaign. The Black and Yellow went into the last game of the season needing a win to secure their ninth league title. But they squandered a two-point lead after they only managed a 2-2 draw against Mainz.  Read more: Erling Haaland makes history with DOUBLE Premier League award wins But despite all the disappointment of losing out on the title on the final day, Bellingham has won a consolation prize by winning the Bundesliga Player of the Year Award. The English teenager enjoyed a stellar campaign with Dortmund, as he scored 14 goals and provided seven assists in 42 matches.  He’s been linked with a move away from Signal Iduna Park this summer, with Real Madrid reportedly leading the chase for his signature. According to reports, Los Blancos have already struck a deal worth £108 million, with £87m guaranteed and a further £21m in performance-related add-ons.  He will soon be unveiled as a Real Madrid player.

Erling Haaland makes history with DOUBLE Premier League award wins

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has become the first player in Premier League history to win both the Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season awards in the same campaign. The Norwegian superstar first won the senior award on Saturday as he was voted the best player in the country ahead of club teammate Kevin De Bruyne, Arsenal duo Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, and Kieran Trippier. He has now added the second prize as the best young player in the country, beating Moises Caicedo, Sven Botman, Alexander Isak, Alexis Mac Allister, and Arsenal trio Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka. Read more: Liverpool INTERESTED in Wolves star wanted by Barcelona  The award means that Haaland is the first player to win both awards in the same PL season, adding yet another entry to his endless list of records since his move to England last summer. His win also continues City’s streak of victories in the Young Player of the Season voting, as he takes over from back-to-back winner Phil Foden. The award was introduced for the 2019/20 season and can be won by any player who begins the season aged 23 or under. With Haaland set to turn 23 in July, he will be eligible to win the award next season under the current regulations. His Man City teammate Phil Foden will still be in the running as he turns 23 on the final day of the current season. Of those in the final shortlist, only Mac Allister and Odegaard will no longer be eligible.

Soccer Predictions Today: New York City FC VS Philadelphia Union Sure Tips

In a rematch of the last two Eastern Conference Finals, New York City FC VS Philadelphia Union will see New York snap a five-match winless run in every match when they host Philadelphia at Citi Field today. New York has exited the playoff picture after a 1-1 draw against Orlando City, while Philly gathered points in 6 straight MLS encounters, defeating New England Revolution 3-0 last weekend. As always, you can count on MatchPlug a Hot Prediction site to bring your previews for all MLS teams. Today, we have laid out the Correct score prediction for New York VS Philadelphia. Predictions and Betting Preview for New York City FC VS Philadelphia Union Matchday Game 15 Venue: Citi Field, New York When: Saturday, May 27th, 2023 Time: 16:30 GMT Teams to play: New York City FC and Philadelphia Union  MLS Picks: Over 2.5 Odds provided by 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On New York City FC 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.395 BetMGM Spread: – BetMGM Over/Under: Over 2.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.35 If there is one MLS side that desperately needs a home win, it will be New York City FC, who mustered just one point in a recent four-match road trip, while they were also eliminated from the US Open Cup. New York has forfeited an opening goal 8 times this season, including in all the matches in their current road contest, and they have won nothing in this situation this year. On the other hand, they have not permitted a goal in the opening 45 minutes at home all season and have given up in the first half at Citi Field two times, the last time stemming from an own-goal by Thiago Martins against FC Cincinnati last September (1-1). There are many talented players on New York’s roster, but due to many new faces, too, most of them were absent at the start of the campaign. This is one of the reasons why they aren’t consistent with their matches. The upside for the Big Apple is that four of their next five matches will be road games, a situation where they are undefeated this season, they have not lost any game at Citi Field. A change of scenery may turn the coin in their favour, as they haven’t had much success against Philadelphia when playing at home. They have only one point in their last 3 games against the Union at Yankee Stadium. New York could not score in two matches. Possible Lineup: Barraza, Ilenic, Martins, Chanot, O’ Toole, Parks, Sands, Pereira, Rodriguez, Pellegrini, Ledezma. Betting On The Philadelphia Union 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 3.016 BetMGM Spread: – BetMGM Over/Under: Under 2.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.95 All seems to be in order with Philadelphia Union after they secured 13 out of 15 points over their last 5 matches. Somewhere along the line, the Union looked like a meagre defensive unit from previous years, delivering a clean sheet in two of their last 3 home games. Free from the burden of the CONCACAF Champions League (CCL) and US Open, Philly can finally focus on clinching the MLS Cup they keep chasing but haven’t gotten yet. Philadelphia enters this contest with points from 3 straight away matches in this competition, forfeiting only once in their last two road games. This team rarely possess the ball for more than 90 minutes, and neither do they need to because they execute their diamond formation so efficiently that they can slide through the pitch and shoot the ball directly to their strikers. Philly is good at winning second balls and has beefed up the holes between the midfield and backline, which made them susceptible to attacks at the beginning of the season, winning only two of their starting 8 matches. Possible Lineup: Blake, Harriel, Glesnes, Elliot, Wagner, Bedoya, Martinez, McGlynn, Gazdag, Uhre; Carranza. MatchPlug Prediction Philadelphia seems to making strides, while New York is still getting back their rhythm, and while they have more player quality to brag with, consistency can often be a deciding factor, and that is something the Union have lots of.

Soccer Predictions Today: New England Revolution VS Chicago Fire Sure Tips

New England Revolution VS Chicago Fire, will see the Revolution want to end a three-game winless run when they play host to Fire at the Gillette Stadium today.  Chicago got back on the winning side midweek at the US Open Cup, after diving the points with Atlanta United last weekend in an intriguing encounter in Major League Soccer. For the Correct score prediction today regarding this match, MatchPlug has done an in-depth analysis to get you the best Soccer Predictions for Revolution VS Fire. Keep reading to get more information. Predictions and Betting Preview For New England Revolution VS Chicago Fire Game 15 Venue: Gillette Stadium, New England When: Saturday, May 27th, 2023 Time: 16:30 GMT Teams to play: New England Revolution and Chicago Fire. MLS Picks: MONEYLINE 1.79 Odds as provided by 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On New England Revolution 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.79 BetMGM Spread: – BetMGM Over/Under: Over 2.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.77 New England Revolution was brutally defeated by Philadelphia Union last weekend, in a defeat that dragged out their winless run to 3 games across contests. Daniel Gazdag secured a brace for New England before Julian Carranza delivered an 88th-minute strike that solidified all three points for Philly, as Bruce Arena’s side could not register a shot on target. The loss witnessed by the Revolution demoted them to third position in the Eastern Conference, securing 24 points in 13 matches and Bruce Arena expects a comeback from his team after 3 successive defeats. Winning this match is important for New England as it could start a revolution for them to close the gap at the top of the league table, as they are now 6 points behind FC Cincinnati. Betting On Chicago Fire 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 4.14 BetMGM Spread: BetMGM Over/Under: Under 2.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 4.10 Things are looking up for Chicago Fire after they went back to Winning on Thursday, with an easy 2-0 win over Austin FC in the US Open Cup round of 16, thanks to Rafael Czichos and Kacper Przybylko, setting them up for a quarter-final clash with Houston Dynamo. But, the attention returns to MLS action today, where Chicago won just one of their last 6 matches. Due to this, they stay in the 12th position in the Eastern Conference of the MLS table, 4 points from the automatic playoff spot. Last weekend, they shared points with Atlanta United in a fierce 3-3 draw where one player from each side headed the pack. Andrew Gutman secured the lead for Atlanta in the 29th minute, but the teams entered into the interval on level terms after Juanjo Purata scored an own goal. Maren Haile-Selassie then delivered a lead for Fire shortly after the restart before Giorgos Giakoumakis’s brace seemed to have secured all three points for Atlanta. But, Georgios Koutsias stole a draw for Chicago with an 89th-minute equaliser. Chicago has not won outside home since their 3-2 victory over Inter Miami on March 25, and coach Klopas badly needs to see his team end their disappointing record. MatchPlug Prediction Despite their current form, the New England Revolution has been one of the most dominating clubs in the Easter Conference this campaign. Chicago Fire, on the other hand, struggle on the road these past weeks, so there is a chance the Revolution will end their winless streak today.

Soccer Predictions Today: CF Montreal VS Inter Miami Sure Tips

A month after these clubs concluded a massive deal toward the end of the last transfer window, CF Montreal VS Inter Miami will play at Saputo Stadium. Presently, both teams are no longer in the MLS playoff picture after CF Montreal were defeated 2-1 by the New York Red Bulls last weekend, sinking below Inter Miami via goal difference, with Miami losing 3-1 versus Orlando City. As it stands right now, both teams are outside the MLS playoff picture after Le CFM were beaten 2-1 by the New York Red Bulls last weekend, dropping below the Herons via goal difference with the latter losing their previous league fixture 3-1 versus Orlando City. We can tell when a match will leave you on the edge of your seat, so we’ve gotten these Soccer Predictions today for Montreal VS Miami to help you wager on this matchup. MatchPlug remains the Best Prediction Site for MLS, so check our site for similar previews. See: Soccer Predictions Today: Orlando City VS Atlanta United Sure Tips Predictions and Betting Preview for CF Montreal VS Inter Miami Matchday 15 Venue: Saputo Stadium, Montreal When: Saturday, May 27th,  2023 Time: 16:30 GMT Teams to play: CF Montreal and Inter Miami. MLS Picks: OVER 2.5 Odds as seen on 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On CF Montreal 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.82 BetMGM Spread: – BetMGM Over/Under: Over 2.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.78 CF Montreal had a good run for a few weeks, but after reviewing current results, coach, Henan Losada may need to reexamine his strategy, especially now that his side dropped consecutive fixtures after a six-game winning run in every competition. This roller coaster is one the team has been on this season, which doesn’t come as a surprise, since Losada plays a vertical type of soccer, but he seems to have run out of moves. Although they too lost to FC Cincinnati (3-0) this season, Montreal hasn’t performed well all year when they were the first to concede, scoring only once with 1-0, but their equaliser against New York lasted fewer than 10 minutes. Montreal has had some mistakes and misunderstandings a few times this season, and this happened again last week when they let the Red Bulls take too many liberties without a counterattack. But, the Canadian side enters today’s match, on a five-game winning streak at Saputo, without forfeiting any goals over this stretch, they moved to the Canadian Championship final on Wednesday with a 2-0 win over Forge. CF Montreal has never lost a home match against Miami, although they did blow some one-goal leads the last time they faced this opponent in La Belle Province, ending 2-2. Possible lineup: Sirois; Campbell; Camacho; Corbo; Herrera; Choiniere; Wanyama; Lassiter; Duke; Offor; Quioto. Betting On Inter Miami 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 4.28 BetMGM Spread: – BetMGM Over/Under: Under 2.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 4.20 Differentiating between Inter Miami and its present opponent has been hard, considering the fact that they both tread the same path throughout this season. For coach, Phil Neville, his club is headed downward too. Four consecutive wins have preceded back-to-back losses as this group looked downcast from the opening whistle in defeats against Nashville SC (2-1) and the Lions. Earlier this week, they managed to beat Nashville, entering the last eight of the US Open Cup courtesy of a 2-1 victory. Approaching today’s match, Miami lost 5 of their last 6 MLS road games this year, they couldn’t find the back of the net in four of those losses. Miami has only won twice in a regular season visit to Canada, the last time was in September 2022 when they trashed Toronto FC 1-0. Consistency and depth are two things they have been lacking in, they are short many talented midfielders, making it easy for opponents to limit them in recent competitions. Possible Lineup: Callender; Yedlin; McVey, Miller, Kryvstov, Jean, Arroyo, Ulloa, Taylor, Campana, Martinez. MatchPlug Prediction Miami is fighting to ignite their fire, while Lassiter and Duke joining Montreal are giving them a hard time connecting passes from the midfield to the attack. None of these teams has played well at home lately, but Montreal is chosen for the win because they have more depth and creativity. Additionally, Gregore’s absence has made Miami too easy to pass in the midfield.

City has one of the best road records in MLS, scoring 11 points from 6 away games so far this season. But, Orlando will be coming back to their turf today, and they spot the worst home record in the Eastern Conference, with only 8 points from 7 games, keeping them 7th in the conference standings. City will still enter this game undefeated in their last 2 home games, defeating Los Angeles Galaxy on April 30th and sharing points with New York City FC on May 18.

Andrew Gutman started the scoring in the 29th minute, but both clubs entered the interval on level terms after Juanjo Purata scored an own goal. Maren Haile-Selassie, delivered Chicago’s lead after a restart before Giorgos Giakoumakis’ brace seemed to have secured all three points for Atlanta. But Georgios Koutsias got a draw for Chicago with an 89th-minute equaliser. That record put Atlanta in 4th position in the Eastern Conference after obtaining 22 points in 14 games. However, they have not won on the road since their 3-0 win against Charlotte FC on March 11. Since that win at the Bank of America Stadium, Atlanta has scored only 3 points from their next 6 away matches, so they’ll try to boost that record this weekend. Possible Lineup: Westberg, Hernandez, Sanchez, Robinson, Gutman, Ibarra, Rossetto, Giakoumakis, Almada, Etienne; Berry. MatchPlug Prediction Orlando City and Atlanta United have played in similar capacities, so separating the sides today won’t be a big issue. Given that Orlando has performed poorly at home this year, and Atlanta is on a six-match winless streak on the road, experts deduce the match will end in a draw.

Real Madrid offer Eden Hazard for Harry Kane 

Real Madrid reportedly wants to sign Tottenham hitman Harry Kane and are ready to add Eden Hazard to the package that will bring the English striker to the Santiago Bernabeu.  This is according to a report by Spanish outlet Cadena Ser, which claims that Los Blancos have been offered the chance to sign Kane, with the club considering the option.

Jason Robertson, Joe Pavelski, and Roope Hintz scored 3 goals and 5 assists but the other offense members struggle. Dallas hopes that Miro Heiskanen and Ryan Suter will rise to the occasion as they include 14 goals and 84 assists from the point this season but scored just one goal and 2 assists in this series. Their offense disappointed the team, but the defense isn’t any better, permitting 11 goals. Heiskanen, Suter, and Esa Lindell head the top two pairings but the other members struggle, allowing the Knights to find open shots on the net and at will. Goaltender Jake Oettinger performed poorly too, failing to save 10 goals on 66 shots.

MatchPlug Prediction Dallas wants to avoid eliminating, but Vegas has dominated the series and hope to end things by controlling Game Four too.  The Knights scored 11 goals in the series and should keep Stone, Barbashev and the other forward unit busy with goals. They’ll take the puck into the offensive zone and create open shots with powerful passes to the slot and near the net. Vegas has allowed just 5 goals through three matches and should curb Dallas’offense with Pietrangelo, Martinez and the other defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shooting lanes. This should give Hill the chance to make many big saves to secure the win. The Knights should save Game Four to sweep the contest and move to the Stanley Cup Final. Final Prediction: Vegas Golden Knights Moneyline.
