Everton vs Bournemouth: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

All eyes will be at Goodison Park this Sunday as Everton welcome Bournemouth in their last game of the Premier League season. The Toffees are one of three teams still in danger of dropping to the Championship. But unlike Leeds and Leicester, the host’s destiny is in their hands as they only need to win to secure their top-flight status for a 69th straight season – only Arsenal have accumulated more consecutive seasons in England’s top-flight.  Solid form in this crucial final month of the campaign has helped them stay above the drop zone, with only champions Manchester City beating them across their last four Premier League (PL) matches (W1, D2). Read more: Brentford vs Manchester City: Preview and Expert Football Prediction However, Everton don’t have a good history in season finales as they have lost five of the last six season finales (D1) – one of which came at Goodison Park against Bournemouth in 2019/20. Their visitors will come into this tie looking to be party spoilers. They will also want to keep their remarkable winning run against Everton, having won the last four meetings between both teams. Bournemouth scored 3+ goals in each of those contests, but it’s hard to see a repeat of that feat here, given they have netted one or fewer in five of their last six PL matches. The last three games in that run all ended in defeat for the Cherries, which adds some weight to the notion that they’ve taken their foot off the gas pedal after securing their own PL survival.  Click here to get best BTTS/GG prediction.

Brentford vs Manchester City: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Manchester City will bring the curtains down on a successful Premier League season this Sunday when they travel to Corh Ground to face Brentford. Like their visitors, the hosts have also enjoyed this season thoroughly, producing some classic performances at home and away to leave them on the verge of a top-seven finish. Even the unfortunate news of Ivan Toney’s ban has not halted the Bee’s momentum, with a 3-1 win over Tottenham in their last outing proving their stability. That win means they still can finish in the top seven, with two points behind seventh-placed Aston Villa. So a win here and losses for Villa and Spurs will mean they compete in Europe next season. Read more: Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad: Preview and Expert Football Prediction While the chances of that happening isn’t exclusively in their hands, they will want to win here at least to ensure they take their chance if the opportunity arises. They will fancy their chances here after winning City in the reverse fixture.  Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s side will travel to City Ground looking to avoid a losing league double against Brentford for the first time since 1937/38.  However, this game’s result will ultimately pale insignificance for the Premier League champions, who have crucial FA Cup and Champions League finals on the horizon to achieve an elusive treble. A trip to London to round off the PL campaign is unlikely to faze the Cityzens, who have already won five of their six league visits to the capital this season (W5, L1). Moreover, they could become the first team in PL history to win six London away games in one campaign if they can turn Brentford over, a seemingly likely outcome when considering City’s incredible unbeaten competitive form (W20, D5).

Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad will battle for three points this Sunday when both sides meet at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium. Atletico Madrid blew their chance of finishing in second position in the La Liga table away last time when they were held to a 3-3 draw with relegation battling Espanyol. Diego Simeone’s side were leading 3-0 at one point in the game but took their foot off the pedal to allow Espanyol back in the game. And by doing so, they dropped to third position in the league standings. Ahead of their final home game of the season, Atlético supporters will expect their team to step up and justify their position by defeating a top-five club for the first time this season.  Read more: Juventus vs AC Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The hosts have failed to beat the league’s big boys in six attempts so far (D2, L4), scoring no more than one goal on each occasion. They are fortunate their Champions League participation won’t hinge on their remaining fixtures against top-five rivals Real Sociedad and Villarreal. Meanwhile, Sociedad can secure Champions League football if they win here. The visitors kept their top four destiny in their hands last time, beating Almeria by 1-0. The win extended their unbeaten record to seven games (W5, D2) and saw them keep their third clean sheet in their last five games. Having become the only team to defeat Barcelona at home this season, when they beat them two weeks ago, they will fancy their chances of ending Atlético’s eight-game winning streak at home. Meanwhile, Sociedad are the only club to have registered more opening goals inside the first 30 minutes (17) than their opponents (15) this La Liga season. So the first half-hour could be an entertaining spectacle. Therefore, we expect a first-half goal in this game.

Inter Milan vs Atalanta: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

After their Coppa Italia exertions in midweek, Inter Milan will look to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League next season when they welcome Atalanta to the San Siro for the penultimate league game of the 2022/23 season. Inter won the Coppa Italia title for the second season in a row on Wednesday, with a brace from Lautaro Martínez sealing a 2-1 comeback win over Fiorentina. The Nerazzurri will now be able to extend the celebrations by avoiding defeat against Atalanta which would confirm their top-four finish.  Coach Simone Inzaghi acknowledged their priorities after Wednesday’s win stating, “We have the league again, and then Istanbul”, where they face Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League final. Read more: Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Inter should be confident of winning where given that they have won their last two home league games. Another victory here will make it the first top-flight season head-to-head double over Atalanta since 2014/15 after they won the reverse fixture 3-2. Meanwhile, Atalanta are fighting for their lives here, with victory over Inter their only realistic route to Champions League football next season. But even their destiny is not completely in their hands as they can only hope that AC Milan lose to Juventus. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men come into this last round sitting in fifth position, three points behind AC Milan. So even if they win here and Milan beats Juventus, they won’t qualify for the UCL. But if they win here and Juventus loses, they can still hope for a top-four finish on the last day of the season. Yet, they are also fighting for more than a top-four finish, as Europa League is not secure. So a win here will give them a chance to play UCL and keep their chances of playing Europa League football next season, given that they are one point ahead of sixth-placed AS Roma. Four wins from their last six games (L2) suggest the visitors may be finding their feet at just the right time. But they must break a poor away spell, having failed to win here against Inter since March 2014. Click here to get 100 percent winning tips.

Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

The 2022/23 Bundesliga season will wrap up this Saturday, with Borussia Dortmund welcoming Mainz to Signal Iduna Park. The hosts will be desperate to end the season on a high note after reclaiming the title initiative thanks to a 3-0 win over ten-men Augsburg in their last outing. That win, coupled with Bayern Munich’s 3-1 loss at home to RB Leipzig, means that Edin Terzic’s men can become the German champions for the first time in eleven years if they win this game against Mainz. So it’s all or nothing for BVB, who will do all they can to ensure they end Bayern’s dominance and secure their ninth Bundesliga title.  Read more: Strasbourg vs PSG: Preview and Expert Football Prediction  Their home form ahead of this game makes them the favourites for a win here, with their eleven consecutive wins at the Signal Iduna Park their longest home winning streak this century. Meanwhile, Mainz will look to play the role of title spoilers when they travel to Signal Iduna Park on Saturday. The 05ers looked like a credible threat to European places recently. Yet a run of four straight defeats, which came after a ten-game unbeaten run of the league, has set them on the path to a tepid end to what seemed a promising campaign.   But Bo Svensson’s ninth-placed Mainz will at least hope to end the season with a win and record their first away win in three attempts. Meanwhile, Mainz did Dortmund a favour earlier in the campaign by defeating Bayern 3-1, and Bayern will now pray that Mainz will build on a respectable record across their last three trips to Dortmund (W1, D1, L1) and return the favour.  Click here to get over 2.5 goals odds.

Sevilla vs Real Madrid: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Real Madrid will travel to Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán this Saturday to face Europa League finalists Sevilla in the penultimate game of the 2022/23 La Liga season. Sevilla’s chances of breaking into the European spots in the league table took a big hit last time as they were held to a 1-1 draw with already-relegated Elche. That result means that they come into this penultimate weekend sitting one point behind Osasuna in the race for a spot in the Conference League qualifiers next season.  But they can be forgiven for taking their eyes off the ball as they can qualify for the Champions League, a far more superior competition, if they defeat AS Roma in Budapest next Wednesday. Read more: Inter Milan vs Atalanta: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But manager José Luis Mendilibar will want his side to give their best here to ensure they are prepared to secure top seven should the opportunity arise. He will want his side to extend their six-match unbeaten run in all competitions (W3, D3) and to keep their improved home league form this calendar year going (W7, D2, L2). Meanwhile, Real Madrid will look to make it back-to-back wins for the first time in nine games when they face Sevilla. Carlo Ancelotti’s side bounced back from back-to-back defeats to Manchester City and Valencia to win 2-1 against Rayo Vallecano last time. But even that win was not straightforward, as Los Blancos needed a late goal to win. Yet, a run of eight games without defeat against Sevilla should make them confident of winning here. And having overtaken Atletico Madrid in second place, Ancelotti will want his side to end the season on a high note by winning their last two games and securing a top-two finish.

Strasbourg vs PSG: Preview and Expert Football Prediction 

Paris Saint-Germain will look to become Ligue 1 champions for the second year in a row when they travel to Stade de la Meinau to face Strasbourg. The hosts come into this fixture looking to secure their top-flight status for another season. A 1-1 draw with Troyes last weekend put them on the verge of doing so, as all they need is a point from this game to ensure they won’t be relegated. However, even if they lose and Nantes fails to secure three points against Lille, Le Racing will still avoid relegation. Therefore Frédéric Antonetti’s side enter this match without too much pressure. But considering their strong home form of late (W5, L2), and their balanced record in the previous eights league H2Hs held here (W2, D4, L2), they could turn this final outing of the season at Stade de la Meinau into a great celebration. But Paris Saint-Germain isn’t going to roll over here as this game should secure their historic eleventh Ligue 1 title. Read more: Sevilla vs Real Madrid: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Christophe Galtier’s side come into this round of games sitting six points at the top of the table. So all they need is to avoid defeat here, and they will mathematically win the title. Should they achieve that, Galtier would go down in Ligue 1 history as the first manager to keep his team at the top of the standings from the first to the last matchday of the season. His side looks well primed to win here as a 2-1 win over Auxerre last time extended Les Perisian’s flawless record against current bottom-six teams (W11). The last five H2Hs have all witnessed the opening goal scored within the first 20 minutes. So we predict a first-half goal in this game. Click here to get accurate football predictions.

Sampdoria vs Sassuolo: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

The penultimate round of the 2022/23 Serie A season begins with a game between already-relegated Sampdoria and Sassuolo at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Friday. The hosts officially became the first team to be relegated in Serie A this season three weeks ago when they were beaten 2-0 by Udinese. Since then, they have had no respite and were most recently beaten 5-1 by AC Milan in their last game.  The loss at the San Siro was their 24th Serie loss of the season, making them the side with the league’sleague’s worst defence and feast goals scored in the league this season (22 goals).  La Samp are destined to finish bottom of the Serie A table for the first time in their history unless they miraculously catch 19th-placed Cremonese, who sit six points above them with a better goal difference. Read more: Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The chance of that happening is very slim, given that the hosts are winless in their last nine league games (D3, L6). Sassuolo, meanwhile, will travel to Stadio Luigi Ferraris, desperate to end their own torrid run of four games without a victory (D1, L3). The visitors come into this sitting in 13th place, with a slim chance of cracking into the top half with just two games to play. This game seems inconsequential in determining their final placement at the end of the season.  Yet Alessio Dionisi’s side can at least aim to avoid being the only side to lose two times against Sampdoria this season, having lost the reverse fixture 2-1. But four straight defeats away from home shows that losing is a high possibility. Meanwhile, Sassuolo have seen ten of their 12 Serie A wins this season come by a one-goal margin. So we can expect a low-scoring adventure on Friday featuring under 2.5 goal.

Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Osasuna will welcome Athletic Bilbao to Estadio El Sadar this Thursday, with this meeting being their fourth meeting in this calendar year. Both sides are still fighting for a place in Europe and can take a giant step towards their aim with a win here. Extra time was needed to separate them after two Copa del Rey semi-final legs earlier this year, with Osasuna progressing to the final but ultimately losing to Real Madrid. So a top-seven finish will be the only remaining path to continental action for the hosts, who currently sit in tenth position, three points behind their visitors in seventh. Read more: Manchester United vs Chelsea:  Preview and Expert Football Prediction  So with three games to go, this is a must-win for them if they still want to play European football next season. Having drawn 0-0 in the reverse fixture, Jagoba Arrasate’s Osasuna would jump ahead of their rivals on the head-to-head tiebreaker with a win here. However, four losses from their last five games (W1) show they are outsiders in this tie. Yet Bilbao’s one win from their last five games (D1, L3) doesn’t make them clear favourites. But their record of five wins from their last seven La Liga visits to this stadium should give them confidence.  A decent away form this year should also serve as a morale booster, as Bilbao have picked up more La Liga wins on the road (W4, D3, L4) than at home (W3, D2, L5) since the World Cup. Meanwhile, two of the last eight H2Hs in all competitions produced more than 2.5 total goals. So an under 2.5 goals bet is advisable for this game.

Manchester United vs Chelsea:  Preview and Expert Football Prediction 

Premier League football resumes this Thursday as Manchester United welcome struggling Chelsea to Old Trafford for the penultimate match of the 2022/23 season. The Red Devils come into this tie looking to seal a return to the Champions League after taking a giant step towards a top-four finish in their last outing. Erik ten Hag’s men beat Bournemouth 1-0 last time to ensure they need just one point from their remaining two league games to qualify for the Champions League next season.  Read more: Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao: Preview and Expert Football Prediction If the visit from struggling Chelsea on Thursday doesn’t inspire confidence, the fact that their last ten games will come at home should. Man United have been almost impeccable at home this season, as they are unbeaten at Old Trafford since September (W23, D4). Yet, Chelsea are not an easy nut to crack for Man United. The Blues have beaten them 18 times in Premier League (PL) history, with only Liverpool doing so more often.  But the visitors have not enjoyed much success at Old Trafford recently as they are winless since May 2013 (W3, D6 since). Having lost their 15th game of the season last time when a youthful Manchester City side embarrassingly beat them, Frank Lampard’s side will finish in the bottom half of that table for the first time in this century. They will be hoping to save face and at least put up a fight. But the fact that Chelsea have won just two of their last 16 away games in all competitions (D3, L11) suggests they will have another poor away outing. Click here to get correct score prediction.
