Manchester City vs Inter Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Manchester City will look to win their first-ever UEFA Champions League title this Saturday when they face Inter Milan at the Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadium in Istanbul.

The Cityzens are facing Inter for the first time in a competitive game, and both sides are trying to back up winning their domestic cups with a UCL trophy.

City has already won two titles, beating fierce rivals Manchester United 2-1 at Wembley to lift the FA Cup while also pipping Arsenal to the Premier League title. So they remain on course to become the second Premier League team after Manchester United to win a historic treble.

Even more pressing for them is the need to finally win the Champions League, a trophy that has eluded Pep Guardiola since his move to the Etihad Stadium. The former Barcelona coach has been successful domestically but has suffered heartbreaks in this competition. His most recent outing at this tournament stage came two years ago when Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea side beat him.

He knows how important Winning this trophy is and will be desperate to finally land his third UCL title, having won it with Barcelona.

His side’s form ahead of this game makes them favourites to win, as they have lost just one of the games they have played since early February (W21, D5).

Meanwhile, Inter Milan are not pushovers, with the San Siro side in a run of eleven wins from their last 12 games in all competitions (L1). That run includes a 2-1 win over Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia final.

So they come into this tie looking for their second cup win of the season. They are also looking to win the Champions League title for the fourth time in their illustrious history, having most recently won it in 2010.

Moreover, Simone Inzaghi’s side have been impressive in this competition, having won away from home against Benfica and AC Milan. They have only lost one UCL game this term on foreign soil (W2, D2).

But they have lost three of their last five fixtures against English opponents (W2), which is slightly concerning. However, they can count on their defence to keep City’s rampant attackers at bay, keeping five clean sheets across their last six UCL matches (W4, D2).

Meanwhile, the last three UCL finals were decided by a single goal between the 40th and 60th minute, so we might see a low-scoring game of under 2.5 goals.

Fiorentina vs West Ham: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Fiorentina and West Ham United will look to become the 2022/23 Conference League champions when both sides meet at the competition’s final in Fortuna Arena in Prague.

After over a dozen games in Europe, both teams have reached the climax and are desperate to land their first European title in over five decades.

Winning this trophy isn’t just for the sake of winning for both sides, as a win here also offers them a route back to European football after they both finished outside of the European qualification positions in their domestic leagues.

Fiorentina, who finished eighth in the Serie A, qualified for this stage courtesy of a 4-3 aggregate win over Basel. After losing 2-1 at home in the first leg, the Violets defeated Basel 3-1 in extra time away from home to reach this round.

Qualification for this final means they became the first team to reach the final of all four major UEFA competitions. Therefore, their goal now that they are in the final will be to improve their win rate in UEFA finals after lifting a European trophy just once in four prior attempts (W1, L3).

Meanwhile, West Ham United have endured a terrible domestic season, finishing in 14th place in the Premier League.

Yet, they have enjoyed their most successful European season in recent years, going unbeaten throughout this European campaign (W13, D1). David Moyes’ men defeated AZ Alkmaar 3-1 on aggregate to book their place in this round, so they should be confident of winning the most important game of this Conference League campaign.

But, they cannot afford to carry their league form into this game as they won just two of their final seven league fixtures (L5). If they want to win here and lift a second-ever European title, they must keep their European form and improve on their previous performances against Italian sides.

Meanwhile, West Ham have scored an average of 2.25 goals per UECL game this season, while Fiorentina have scored an average of 2.57 goals. So we are expecting over 2.5 goals in this game in Prague.

Napoli vs Sampdoria: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

First meets last in the final game of the 2022/23 season when Napoli meets Sampdoria at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples on Sunday.

Napoli are in a festive mood after securing the Scudetto a month ago-their first top-flight title since 1989/90. They will be presented with the trophy at the end of this game, so they will be hoping for an accompanying win to commemorate the occasion.

However, the hosts have faltered since claiming the title early last month (W2, D1, L1). But with this being his last game as Napoli boss, departing manager Luciano Spalletti will hope for one last victorious hurrah before a packed Stadio Diego Armando Maradona before taking a well-deserved sabbatical.

Napoli will fancy their chances of winning this game h given that they have never lost a home league H2H against rock-bottom and relegated Sampdoria since the turn of the century (W12, D2).

The visitors come into this game sitting a whopping 68 points behind the new champions. So it will be a miracle for them to get a win here.

Sampdoria’s measly haul of 19 points represents their poorest-ever top-flight showing. This terrible statistic has been influenced by their worst-ever tally of 24 Serie A defeats in a single campaign.

They also come into this tie without a win in eleven games (D2, L9), so it seems unlikely they will get a good result here.

Real Madrid vs Athletic: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

The 2022/23 ends this weekend, with Real Madrid hosting Athletic Bilbao.

After missing out on the title to their fierce rivals Barcelona, Real Madrid are now only playing to finish ahead of Atlético Madrid, with both teams competing for second position.

After coming back from a one-nil deficit to win their last game against Sevilla 2-1, they need to win here to finish directly behind Barca. However, they could also finish second even if they lose this game if their city rivals Atlético drop points against Villarreal to secure second place following their 2-1 comeback win over Sevilla last Saturday.

However, under pressure, manager Carlo Ancelotti will want his side to win and make it five wins in five league games at home.

Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao will be desperate to end a run of 15 games without a win against Real Madrid in all competitions (D4, L11). Also, the last time Ernesto Valverde’s side triumphed against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu in Spain’s top flight was ten years (D2, L15 since).

So getting three points here is a tall order for the Basque side, who are also winless in their last three away league games (D1, L2).

But given that they are still fighting for a place in Europe next season, they will come into this game desperate to win. The visitors can finish in the top seven and qualify for the Conference League if they can better Osasuna’s result and at least match Girona’s result, with those two sides coincidentally facing each other this weekend.

Meanwhile, Athletic have lost each of their last six La Liga final-day fixtures – and the last five of them ‘to nil’.

Torino vs Inter Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Inter Milan will wrap up the Serie A season this weekend with a visit to Stadio Olimpico di Torino to face Torino.

The hosts ended their away Serie A campaign with a scintillating 4-0 win over Spezia last Saturday.

Although the victory was soiled by racist abuse directed towards their coach Ivan Jurić with play even halted before half-time, they will still be happy that they were able to win their fourth straight away league match without conceding in a single top-flight campaign for the first time since 1942/43.

However, Il Toro is surprisingly amid a six-game winless run at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino (D3, L3). It’s, therefore, unsurprising that their relatively poor home form has been behind their failure to break into the top seven this season.

The hosts might therefore have to improve on their starts if they want to end their season on a high, as five of their last six home matches saw them concede the opening goal, with three conceded within the first ten minutes.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan will travel to Turin in a confident mood after a 3-2 win over Atalanta confirmed they’ll finish in the Serie A top four.

That win also extended their imperious form, as it was their tenth victory in eleven matches (L1). That run was part of what landed the Nerazzurri the Coppa Italia Cup win and a place in the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester City.

With that huge occasion in Istanbul looming, coach Simone Inzaghi hinted at squad rotation after speaking about his staff doing “well in managing the playing time” after the win against Atalanta.

Meanwhile, they have a chance to extend a seven-game unbeaten H2H run (W6, D1) and also end their league campaign on a high.

Inter have won their last six league season finales averaging 3.33 goals per game, and a repeat could make it an entertaining trip for the fans. An over 2.5 goals game is, therefore, likely.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Clermont Foot: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Paris Saint-Germain will wrap up the 2022/23 Ligue 1 season this weekend when they host Clermont Foot at Parc des Princes on Saturday.

The hosts sealed the title last weekend despite being held to a 1-1 draw with Strasbourg away from home.

As such, head coach Christophe Galtier is still likely to lose his job at the end of this season, with PSG chiefs considering him not fit enough to lead the team to the glorious destiny they seek.

But the French coach claimed publicly after their last game that he “deserves a second season.” Therefore he will be looking to sign off this season on a high note.

However, his side have been erratic at home this season, though, and have lost three of their last five games here, although it would be a huge surprise if they can’t produce the goods to give departing Lionel Messi the send-off he deserves.

Meanwhile, Clermont Foot will head to Paris in a buoyant mood after a 2-0 victory over Lorient last weekend secured a top-half finish in Ligue 1 for the first time.

Such a remarkable season has led to their coach Pascal Gastien being nominated for the Manager of the Year award in France. The Frenchman has admitted it has been a season to “savour”, stating he is “proud of the work accomplished.”

He will now be hoping to sign off for this season on a high as Clermont looks to extend a stunning finish to the campaign, which has seen them register seven wins in nine outings (D1, L1).

However, the visitors have lost their last three league H2Hs, conceding at least four goals on each occasion.

Manchester City vs Manchester United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

The 2022/23 FA Cup season will end this Saturday when Manchester City and Manchester United face off at Wembley for the first time in the competition’s long and storied history.

Pep Guardiola’s are looking to record their second title this season on their way to a treble after winning this campaign’s Premier League title.

City booked their place in this final round thanks to a 3-0 win over Sheffield United at the Etihad. The PL champions have scored 17 goals without reply in their five previous FA Cup ties this term, so they will come into this tie as favourites.

Five wins from the last ten meetings between both sides (L4) also put them ahead in the recent head-to-head record. However, having failed to win any of their last two games of the season, they come into this tie short of momentum.

Manager Guardiola has asked his squad to “disconnect” in the build-up to this huge clash. Since his move to the Etihad, his side have recorded a 100% win rate in domestic finals, so they’ll be confident of winning their second trophy this season.

Meanwhile, Manchester United will be looking to also win their second title this season, having already won the Carabao Cup in February.

Erik ten Hag’s side beat Newcastle at Wembley to clinch the trophy, so they will be confident here given their experience on this ground. A run of four consecutive wins also puts them ahead on the momentum scale.

But having not won an FA Cup title in 19 years, they seem to lack adequate experience in this competition. Yet, only Arsenal (14) have won more FA Cup titles than Man United (12).

Meanwhile, just one of the last 15 H2H meetings ended level after 90 minutes (City: W8, L6). Therefore, we can expect goals in this game.

That said, over 1.5 goals is a good bet here.

Auxerre vs Lens: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Lens will look to end their Ligue 1 season on a high when they travel to Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps to face a relegation-threatened Auxerre side.

The hosts boosted their chances of playing top-flight football last time with a 1-1 draw with Toulouse. The draw lifted them two points above the bottom four.

However, their inferior goal difference means they must match or better Nantes’ final-day result to avoid being relegated to Ligue 2.

However, they come into this game in poor shape, having not won any of their last six league games (D3, L3). Therefore, victory will be their target as it’s the only way to guarantee no immediate return to Ligue 2 regardless of results elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Lens will look to end a successful season on a high note when they take on Auxerre.

The visitors have been Ligue 1’s surprise side this season, with the 81 points they have gathered this season only bettered by Ligue 1 winner PSG (85) ahead of this final round.

Although their unexpected title challenge finally ended last week, they come into this tie on the back of six consecutive Ligue 1 victories.

Meanwhile, their 3-0 dismantling of Ajaccio guaranteed second place and UEFA Champions League football for the first time since 2002/03. That marks a stunning rise for Franck Haise’s side, who were in Ligue 2 alongside Auxerre as recently as 2019/20.

Although Lens now have nothing to play for in this round, they’ll want to produce one more impressive performance to close out the season in style, looking to record three straight top-flight away wins for the first time since September 2021.

Sevilla vs AS Roma: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

The 2022/23 Europa League season ends this Wednesday with the competition’s record holders Sevilla facing Italian side AS Roma.

Sevilla come into this game looking to extend their incredible record in the tournament. The Spanish side have won the Europa League six times, which is the most for any club.

The Andalusian side booked their place in the final thanks to a 3-2 aggregate win over Juventus. However, they are travelling to Budapest in bad form, with no win in their last four games (D3, L1).

However, the loss in that sequence came in their last game– a 2-1 loss to Real Madrid in La Liga. But José Luis Mendilibar made many changes for that game against Madrid, so his boys should be physically and mentally fresh for their visit to Budapest.

Yet, the fact is that Sevilla haven’t won any of their four UEL away games this season (D2, L2). Furthermore, they are winless in 13 games outside of Spain in European competition, which makes lifting another UEL trophy here far from straightforward.

Meanwhile, Roma and Jose Mourinho will look to continue his impressive record in finals when he takes his side to Budapest on Wednesday.

The Portuguese manager has never lost a final and will look to build on his achievement of winning the Europa Conference League with Roma last season.

But like Sevilla, the Giallorossi fell to a 2-1 defeat against Fiorentina in Serie A at the weekend. That loss means that Roma are on the verge of missing out on the Europa League as they sit in sixth position. This makes winning this trophy even more important as it would give them a free pass to the Champions League next season.

Roma are without a win in four games (D3, L1) and are also winless in their last four Europa League games held outside of Italy (D2, L2).

However, Mourinho knows how to lift trophies and will bank on them to deliver at Budapest. He will be desperate here, too, as winking will make him the most decorated manager in the history of major European competition.

Meanwhile, the previous 13 UEL finals have seen an average of 2.92 goals per game. So we can expect over 2.5 goals in this game.

Juventus vs AC Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

AC Milan will look to seal a return to the Champions League next season when they travel to Turin to face Juventus in the penultimate game of the 2022/23 Serie A season.

The hosts’ struggles this season are well documented, with a ten-point deduction for corruption undoing all their hard work this season.

But this time last week, the Old Lady were comfortably sitting inside the top two, with the chance of sealing UCL football against Empoli on Monday.

But they got the aforementioned points deduction and were embarrassed by Empoli, who beat them 4-1. As a result, they come into this tie sitting in seventh place.

While they await the decision of the court on their appeal to revoke the points deduction, Max Allegri’s side can still target a top-six finish to ensure they do not end this season with nothing.

A win here could move them to fifth place, ahead of Atalanta and AS Roma, should the latter two not win their games. A win will also put them just two points behind fourth-placed Milan and give them a chance to a top-four finish in the last game of the season, should other teams stumble

Returning to Allianz Stadium, where Juve have won five of their last six games, may boost the tormented Old Lady.

Meanwhile, AC Milan have just one job–win this game and seal a top-four finish.

The visitors boosted their chances of finishing in the coveted Champions League spots with a huge 5-1 win over Sampdoria last time. The win ended a run of three straight defeats for Stefano Pioli’s side, who, before last week, were looking set for Europa League football.

Having been given a chance to play UCL next season due to Juventus’ punishment, they must not bottle it now.

They will fancy their chances because they are unbeaten away at Juventus (W1, D2) in three visits. However, one win in their last nine away games in all competitions (W1, D4, L4) will not inspire confidence in even the most optimistic fan.
