Tottenham vs West Ham: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

After recording a narrow loss to AC Milan in the Champions League, Tottenham will turn their attention to their quest for a top-four finish in the Premier League as they host West Ham this Sunday. Antonio Conte’s men come into this tie on the back of a 1-0 loss to AC Milan in the UCL. The loss made it two consecutive losses for the North London side following a 4-1 loss to Leicester City in the Premier League last weekend. Read more: PSG vs Lille: Preview and Expert Football Prediction  Yet, they come into this tie sitting just two points outside the top four and could climb into the top four if they win this game and fourth-placed Newcastle lose to Liverpool. West Ham made it four games without defeat (W2, D2) last weekend as they held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw, coming from one goal down to draw the game thanks to a goal by former Chelsea player Emerson. Yet they remain close to relegation, with just two points separating them from the 18th-placed team. They will like to put some daylight between them and the drop zone with a win here. Having lost just one of their last four PL games against Spurs (W2, D1), they will fancy their chances of getting a win here.  Click here for Football Prediction for today.

Manchester United vs Leicester City: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Manchester United will welcome Leicester City to Old Trafford this Sunday for the 24th round of the 2022/23 Premier League season. The Red Devils come into this tie off the back of a disappointing 2-2 draw with Barcelona in the Europa League. Despite going home with a point from the game, goal-scorer Marcus Rashford revealed that his side felt like they lost the game. They will look to take three points here, though, and keep their slim chances of winning the PL title alive. Erik ten Hag’s side are on the fringes of a title race as they are just five points off top-spot ahead of the round.  The boss has been reluctant to label his side as contenders. Still, you would back them to at least keep up the pressure on Manchester City and Arsenal with another three-point haul against Leicester City, given they’ve won 13 of their last 14 home games in all competitions (D1).  Read more: PSG vs Lille: Preview and Expert Football Prediction  But Leicester are a team in form, having won their last two games by a combined scoreline of 8-3. The Foxes eased relegation fears with two consecutive comeback wins over Aston Villa and Tottenham in the Premier League. So they will come into this game in a confident mode. They also have a good record in this fixture, having won three of the last six H2Hs (D2, L1). Yet the fact they have yet to keep a league clean sheet since the World Cup restart means they cannot be backed for a direct win here. So the best prediction for this game is for both teams to score.

PSG vs Lille: Preview and Expert Football Prediction 

Paris Saint-Germain will welcome Lille to Parc des Princes this Sunday in the 24th round of the 2022/23 Ligue 1 season. Struggling PSG fell to a 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek, taking their losing run in all competitions to three games. The French champions are in crisis, having already lost as many games in 2023 (five) as they did in 2022. They are looking to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat in the same season for the first time since 2000. Yet they have retained a five-point lead at the Ligue 1 summit ahead of this round and will fancy their chances of avoiding defeat given they are unbeaten in Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes in 33 league games (W28, D5). Read more: Osasuna vs Real Madrid: Preview and Expert Football Prediction  But Lille are the last side to beat PSG at home, and they may be confident of repeating that act given their form. The Mastiffs are making up lost ground on the European places since the restart, losing just one of their eight league games (W4, D3).  They sit just six points adrift of the UEFA Champions League positions ahead of this round, a gap they could further reduce by securing back-to-back away league victories for the second time this season. Meanwhile, given that a combined 14  goals has been scored in the last two meetings between both sides, another high-scoring affair could be on the cards here.

Osasuna vs Real Madrid: Preview and Expert Football Prediction 

Real Madrid will travel to Pamplona this Saturday to face Osasuna in the 22nd round of the 2022/23 La Liga season. After a bright start to 2023 (D3, L1), the hosts have faltered in La Liga lately, failing to win any of their last four league games (D3, L1). They will need to promptly snap out if they’re to maintain hopes of qualifying for Europe for the first time since the 2005/06 season.  But they haven’t beaten the real Madrid here since January 2011 (D3, L5), conceding at least twice in five of the last six home head-to-head meetings. Read more: Aston Villa vs Arsenal: Preview and Expert Football Prediction   Real Madrid bounced back from a run of poor results in the league last time when they defeated bottom-of-the-table Elche 4-0. The win came after they returned from Morrocco, where they won the Club World Cup.  They are trailing Barcelona by eight points and will know they cannot drop further points if they hope to defend their title successfully. The visitors have recently alternated between wins and defeat in away league action (W3, L3), and their last away game against Mallorca saw them fail to score on the road for the first time in La Liga this term (1-0 defeat).  But having scored 13 times in their last three games, drawing another blank seems unlikely. So the correct score prediction for this tie is over 2.5 goals scored.

Inter Milan vs Udinese: Preview and Expert Football Prediction  

Inter Milan will welcome Udinese to San Siro this Saturday for the 23rd round of the 2022/23 Serie A season. The hosts will look to bounce back from their disappointing draw in the last round when they host Udinese. Despite firing 25+ shots, they failed to score against Sampdoria last Monday. The result was just the third time in Serie A across the last ten seasons they had that many shots without scoring. They are now 15 points adrift of league leaders Napoli and will see the title as an impossible task. Read more: Osasuna vs Real Madrid: Preview and Expert Football Prediction After keeping two clean sheets in their last two games, the hosts are closing on a third consecutive league clean sheet for the first time since December 2021. They will fancy their chances of doing that and winning here as they have won ten of their last eleven league games at the San Siro (L1). Udinese failed to capitalise on scoring a goal after just 25 seconds in their last game against Sassuolo, eventually drawing the game 2-2. They are still within the top half (eighth place) but are on a terrible run of form, having won just once in their last 15 games in all competitions (D8, L6). Having beaten Inter 3-1 in the reverse fixture, they will be confident of improving their dreadful form here. However, the visitors have seen their last three away games (W1, L2) end with a 1-0 scoreline, so we expect a low-scoring game of under 2.5 goals.

Aston Villa vs Arsenal: Preview and Expert Football Prediction  

Arsenal will look to get back to winning ways when they travel to Birmingham this Saturday to face Aston Villa. The hosts, like their opponents, come into this tie looking to get back to winning ways after suffering a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City last weekend. The loss was the second loss in a row for Unai Emery’s men and also saw them concede 3+ goals for the second game in a row after recording a 4-2 loss to Leicester City before their latest loss. While those high-scoring affairs may have been exciting to watch for neutrals, the fact that they have kept just two clean sheets from their last 12 matches will make it difficult for the 11th-placed Villa to break into the top half of the table. Read more: Sassuolo vs Napoli: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Arsenal dropped from first place to second last Wednesday as they were beaten 3-1 by fellow title challengers Manchester City. The loss sliced their once eight-point lead and capped off a four-game winless run (D1, L3) for Mikel Arteta’s side, who will be desperate to get back to winning ways against their former manager. They can find confidence that they have won four of their last six visits to Villa Park (L2), making it their second-most winning away PL ground with 13 victories after their 14 wins at West Ham.

Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Bayern Munich: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

After their Champions League exertions, Bayern Munich will turn their attention to the league as they travel to Borussia Park this Saturday to face Borussia Monchengladbach. The hosts come into this tie in terrible form, having won once since the restart (D1, L3). Their last outing was a 4-1 loss to Hertha Berlin. The result spoiled their hopes of gatecrashing the European places as they now sit in tenth place, nine points behind sixth-placed Frankfurt. Read more: Girona vs Almería: Preview and Expert Football Prediction While they would love to rekindle their hopes here, there are better fixtures to finally secure their first home league win of 2023 (D1, L1). They have a rich history against Bayern, as no side has recorded more league wins against the Bavarian giants than Gladbach’s 27 (D31, L51). However, Bayern will not fear Gladbach as they come into this fixture on a run of four straight wins with three clean sheets.  After a run of three draws in the league that reduced their lead at the top to one point, the Bundesliga defending champions have rekindled their strong form. They are just one point ahead of Union Berlin ahead of this round, but they have momentum on their side and will fancy their chances of extending their incredible 11-game unbeaten run of away games (W9, D2). With 31 goals scored in their last 11 away games, it’s easy to back Bayern to score Over 2.5 Goals in this game.

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City: Preview and Expert Football Prediction  

Nottingham Forest will welcome Manchester City to City Ground this Saturday as both sides battle for three points. Forest endured a poor outing last time as they were beaten 2-0 by Fulham. However, the game was characterised by injuries to centre-backs Willy Boly and Scott McKenna inside the first ten minutes, so Steve Cooper will count that loss as a fluke result.  Since they are unbeaten in this stadium since losing to Fulham in September (W4, D3), they will be confident of a good result when they host City.  Read more: Inter Milan vs Udinese: Preview and Expert Football Prediction   The Premier League defending champions reclaimed the top spot thanks to a 3-1 win over Arsenal at the Emirates on Wednesday. The win made it two consecutive wins for City and ended a run of two straight PL away defeats.  Given that they have won their last nine PL games against promoted sides while scoring an average of 3.56 goals per game, another high-scoring affair can be expected here. Therefore, the best prediction for this game will be over 2.5 goals.

Sassuolo vs Napoli: Preview and Expert Football Prediction 

Napoli will continue their quest for the Scudetto on Friday when they visit Mapei Stadium to face Sassuolo. The hosts overcame conceding the fastest goal in Serie A goal of the season (25 seconds) to record a 2-2 draw with Udinese last time out. The draw stretched their unbeaten run to four matches (W2, D2), their joint-longest unbeaten run this term. The goal will be to extend that run in this game. However, doing that against runaway league leaders Napoli will be a challenging task considering that they’ve won just one of the last 15 competitive H2Hs (D6, L8), which includes two heavy defeats by a combined 10-1 scoreline across the previous two such meetings. Read more: Barcelona vs Manchester United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction  Napoli will be confident of getting another win here–their seventh consecutive Serie A win. The league leaders extended their lead at the top of the Serie A table to 15 points thanks to a 3-0 win over Cremenose last time. They have now secured 59 points after 22 rounds, a record which has only been bettered in the three points for a win era by Juventus and Inter Milan, who had 60 points at this stage.  The visitors have won each of their eight Serie A matches against sides currently sitting 15th or below. Seven of those victories came by two or more goals, and having scored 2+ goals in each of their last six league games, the correct score prediction for this game will be a Napoli win with over 2.5 goals scored.

Girona vs Almería: Preview and Expert Football Prediction 

Almería will travel to Estadio Municipal de Montilivi this Friday to face Girona in the 22nd Round of the 2022/23 La Liga season. Girona come into this tie on the back of a disappointing 2-0 loss to Cadiz. The result means they sit just four points ahead of the relegation zone, even though they are sitting in eleventh place. So this game is a must-win for the hosts, who Almería beat in the reverse fixture. But they are more potent at home, where they have gained 18 of their 24 points this season, including one defeat in their last seven league games (W3, D3).  Read more: Ajax vs Union Berlin: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Almería are sitting in 15th place, two points ahead of 18th-placed Valencia. Yet they could provisionally move above Girona into 11th place with victory or possibly complete the round in the relegation zone should they lose. So this comes as a make-or-break game for them. They are an entertaining side with 25 goals scored, but they also are bad defensively, having kept just one clean sheet in La Liga this season. It’s unlikely they will get a win here, given that they are without an away win in the league this season (W0, D3, L7). And so we can expect both teams to score in this game.
