AC Milan interested in Man City’s Kyle Walker

April 24, 2023 No Comments

Italian Serie A giants AC Milan are reportedly interested in signing Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker at the end of the season. The English defender has been an ever-present fixture in Pep Guardiola’s side since he joined City from Tottenham for £50m in 2017. However, in recent months, Walker has struggled for minutes in Guardiola’s setup. The right-back started Man City’s 3-0 win against Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday. But that start was just one of the few he has made recently, with the defender, more often than not, starting from the bench. He has started just two Premier League matches in the last two months. Read more: Chelsea confident of beating Man United and PSG to Victor Osimhen’s signing despite the absence of Champions League football Guardiola prefers to use a system that doesn’t require a conventional right-back, meaning that Manuel Akanji, John Stones and Rico Lewis are ahead of Walker. According to The Telegraph, AC Milan is looking to add Walker to their squad ahead of next season. The 31-year-old has one year remaining on his contract at the Etihad, so Milan are looking to take advantage of the situation. The reigning Scudetto champions are currently outside the Serie A title race, so they are keen to bolster their squad for next season. The San Siro side views Walker as someone who can challenge right-back Davide Calabria for minutes. Should no move materialise this summer, and Walker does not renew terms with City, he would be free to negotiate with potential suitors next January.

Bayern back under-fire Thomas Tuchel as Oliver Kahn blames players for Mainz loss

April 24, 2023 No Comments

Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn has defended under-fire manager Thomas Tuchel after his side’s shocking defeat to Mainz on Saturday. The Bavarians suffered their third defeat under Tuchel at the weekend, as his team were beaten 3-1 by Mainz. The result means that Bayern have gone four games without a win in all competitions, while they have recorded just two wins in seven games under Tuchel. Read more: Bayern Munich will ‘try everything’ to sell Sadio Mane this summer However, despite the poor results, Kahn has backed the former Chelsea boss. According to the German legend, the coach’s job is safe, and the players should take the blame for the loss at Mainz. “Thomas Tuchel is the last person we need to talk about now,” Khan said. “He is doing everything he can to help the boys progress. “There are 11 men on the pitch who have to work hard to achieve the goals of this club. What the team showed on the pitch is not enough.” The Bayern chief was particularly critical of Bayern’s second-half showing, with the Bavarian giants conceding three goals in 14 minutes as Mainz came from 1-0 down to secure all three points. “We played a catastrophic second half,” he added. “Who was the team that wants to become champions? It will be very difficult to become champions with such performances.” Bayern’s recent defeat means Borussia Dortmund has the upper hand in the title race. Edin Terzic’s side moved to the top of the table, one point ahead of Bayern, thanks to a 4-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt 4-0 in their weekend game. Both sides now have just five games left to play.

Harry Maguire open to Serie A move amid loan interest from Italian giants

April 23, 2023 No Comments

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is reportedly attracting interest from several top Italian clubs amid uncertainty over his future at Old Trafford. The Englishman has endured a nightmare season and was at fault for Sevilla’s first goal in their 3-0 win over Man United on Thursday. That loss confirmed the Red Devils’ elimination from the Europa League at the quarter-final stage. Although he is back in the starting team in recent matches, it is only due to injuries sustained by first-choice centre-back pairing Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez. Read more: Barcelona agree on deal with Roberto Firmino Erik ten Hag does not trust Maguire and does not consider him a major part of his long-term project at the club. As such, the 30-year-old is among the at least 13 players United are looking to sell this summer as Erik Ten Hag attempts to continue his Old Trafford rebuild. According to reports by 90min, United want to sanction a permanent exit for Maguire but understands it could be difficult to recoup a substantial fee from the defender’s sale. The 30-year-old earns £190,000 a week at Old Trafford, and few clubs are willing to offer him that amount. So that leaves sanctioning a loan move also difficult. Few Premier League clubs have indicated interest, but Juventus, Milan and Inter have also indicated an interest in potential loan deals with options to buy. While such a deal wouldn’t be perfect for United in the circumstances, they may need to be flexible to create room to manoeuvre around FFP limitations and to ensure they purchase quality players in key positions.

They entered Friday 13-7 on the season and placed second in the NL Central, 1.5 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers for the top position in the Division. Against the Reds, the Pirates started a 4-0 lead in the opening inning and maintained control despite being scoreless for the rest of the match. They ended the game with just 4 hits and no player scoring more than one. Connor Joe and Jack Suwinski homered in the victory for Pittsburgh. Roansy Contreras got a win when he threw 6.2 innings, allowing one run on five hits with two walks and eight strikeouts. David Bednar worked a 1-2-3 ninth, and struck out one, for his sixth save of the season. Rich Hill starts for the Pirates for the 5th time this season.

They dropped to 7-12 on the year and entered Friday at the bottom of the NL Central, 7 games behind Milwaukee for the top spot in the division. Thursday night, the Reds ended the game with 8 hits with Jonathan Indian leading with three points in the contest. Luke Weaver lost on the mound, allowing 4 runs on 4 hits with two walks and 8 strikeouts over 6 innings of work. Luis Cessa is picked to take the slab for Cincinnati as he starts for the 4th time this season. He has 0-2 with a 13.50 ERA, a 2.75 WHIP, 8 walks and 3 strikeouts over 12 innings of work this season. Cessa was beaten up as his last start yielded a loss against the Philadelphia Phillies at home on Sunday. He threw 3 innings and allowed 11 runs on 14 hits with 3 walks and no strikeouts in a 14-3 Cincinnati loss. Cessa’s 10th appearance and third start against the Pirates will be in this matchup.

He has no record with a 3.38 ERA, a 1219 WHIP, 3 walks and 4 strikeouts over 10.2 innings in 4 career appearances, one start, at PNC Park. MatchPlug Prediction The Cincinnati Reds haven’t had an easy season and bringing in Cessa shows how they struggled with depth in terms of rotation. Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo and Graham Ashcraft are a decent trio, but the other members are a mess. Furthermore, Cincinnati’s lineup didn’t deliver enough offensive production this year. Hill turned in a good outing last time the teams played at Coors Field, to secure a win and the Pirates have gotten some great performances from their bullpen this season. After what the Reds have displayed this season which is not much, fans can overlook them and instead back the Pirates, led by Hill on the mound, as they earn the victory. Final Prediction: Pittsburgh Pirates Moneyline.

NBA Expert Picks: Los Angeles Clippers VS Phoenix Suns Predictions Tonight

April 22, 2023 No Comments

In Los Angeles Clippers VS Phoenix Suns, the Clippers will host the Suns in this epic clash happening at Cyrpto.com Arena this afternoon. The Suns managed to secure a road victory on Thursday night to begin a 2-1 series lead, although the Clippers proved they won’t be an easy opponent this series. However, road teams have won the games between these sides this season, and if this pattern continues, Los Angeles will be in deep waters for game 5. Today’s matchup will be one of the better games on the Saturday fixtures and one that must not be missed. Look to MatchPlug for NBA Predictions Tonight and analysis of Clippers VS Suns. Predictions and Betting Preview For Los Angeles Clippers VS Phoenix Suns NBA Playoffs Game 4 Round 1 Venue: Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles Date: Saturday, April 22nd, 2023 Time: 12:30 GMT Teams to play – Clippers and Suns NBA Expert Picks: SPREAD -7.5 Odds by BetMGM and 1XBet. Betting On The Los Angeles Clippers Season record: 44-38 1XBet Spread: +7.5 1XBet Moneyline: 3.9 1XBet Over/Under: Over 226.5 BetMGM Spread: +7.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 3.60 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 226.5 The Los Angeles Clippers are in a challenging position as they play at home for the second time in three days. Between the two successive losses and injuries, they are again struggling, heading in the wrong direction. Los Angeles hasn’t made any notable marks at home this season, and to add to that they still haven’t defeated the Phoenix Suns on their home court. Missing two key players would be hard for any team, but coupled with the Clippers’ lack of depth, they are hurt even more. Paul George who injured his knee will be out and won’t come back till early May. Kawhi Leonard also with an injured knee missed Thursday’s game. Being put as questionable, Los Angeles can’t perform without the NBA’s best two-way players. Leornard’s absence may determine how this game may go, but Los Angeles has witnessed some scorers step forward in the last few games. Russell Westbrook arrived at Thursday’s game and was efficient. Norma Powell was off a 42-point performance. Besides these two, the Clippers don’t have much scoring power, especially with an offense ranked low in the NBA; they’ll have problems facing one of the best defenses in the league. Betting on the Phoenix Suns Season Record: 45-37 1XBet Spread: -7.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.384 1XBet Over/Under: Under 226.5 BetMGM Spread: -7.5 BetMGM Moneyline: Over 226.5 BetMGM Over/Under: 1.30 The Phoenix Suns faced the Los Angeles Clippers which are missing some of their best players on Thursday but today, they won’t mind getting a win. Phoenix has a poor record, but this hasn’t stopped them from winning against Los Angeles in road games, with their win in Game 3 marking their 3rd win in three attempts in road games against the Clippers this campaign. Securing another win and going 3 games to one as they make their way home, would give the Suns the confidence to make it to round 2 of game 4. With all their talented players intact, Phoenix has a high chance in today’s game, but after taking the Clippers for granted on Thursday, they need to do a complete 48 minutes. The Suns had injury issues most of the season, but have gotten healthier recently. Kevin Durant’s recovery is an essential addition and the only player is injured in today’s game. Cam Payne with an injured back is questionable for playing this match, although his presence or absence shouldn’t alter the match. Phoenix’s offensive members aren’t the best this season, but the injuries play a huge role in this. Now that all their players are complete, scoring hasn’t been a problem through the beginning of the season. Durant and Devin Booker have made the team unstoppable. This, plus Ayton’s strong balance and frontcourt presence, an experienced point guard in Paul, and Los Angeles have their work cut out for them. Defensive-wise, the Suns have been one of the best units this season and playing the depthless Clippers, they just need to focus on stopping the Clippers from a three-point range. MatchPlug Prediction Los Angeles has too many questions for today’s game, especially about Leonard’s status, and the Phoenix may clinch another victory. Powell’s team played well on Thursday, but the Suns will be more involved in today’s game, leaving Los Angeles looking for offensive options. Throw in Durant and Booker in the mix and Phoenix will extend their undefeated record. Furthermore, the Suns are a 5-2 ATS the last 7 times these two teams met in Los Angeles. Final Prediction: Phoenix Suns Spread.

Barcelona agree on deal with Roberto Firmino

April 22, 2023 No Comments

Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino will reportedly join Barcelona when his contract at Anfield expires at the end of the season. After eight successful years at the club, the Reds forward is out of contract at Anfield this summer. Liverpool wanted to extend his deal, but Firmino decided it was time to end his association with the club. He has offers from several clubs worldwide, including clubs from the Middle East and America’s Major League Soccer. Read more: Pep Guardiola says his players are exhausted after Man City reach third straight Champions League semi-final However, according to the Daily Mail, the Brazilian has opted to switch to Barcelona when he calls it quits at Liverpool this summer. The Catalan side are looking for an extra striker to reduce the burden on number 9 Robert Lewandowski and have identified Bobby as the perfect option. The fact that the 31-year-old Brazilian will join for free makes it a low-risk option, especially as Barcelona is struggling financially. The Catalan club are expected to sell some players to be able to sign new ones, so they are prioritizing players on the bossman list, with Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan and Paris Saint-Germain forward and legendary player Lionel Messi. Firmino joined Liverpool in 2015 from Hoffenheim shortly before Jurgen Klopp became the club’s manager. After struggling early in his Liverpool career while playing as a winger under Brendan Rodgers, the Brazilian came alive when Klopp began playing him as a false nine. He was part of the famed front-three alongside Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah that led Liverpool to Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Club World Cup titles.
