Manchester United vs Southampton: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 11, 2023 No Comments

After their incredible outing in the Europa League, Manchester United will return to Premier League action this Sunday when they welcome struggling Southampton to Old Trafford. The Red Devils’ put one leg in the next Round of the Europa League thanks to a 4-1 win over Real Betis on Thursday. The win and performance contrasted their 7-0 loss to Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend. The Old Trafford side were embarrassed by Jurgen Klopp’s side at Anfield on Sunday, with that loss ending a run of eleven consecutive games without defeat. They now sit 14 points behind league leaders Arsenal, so their chances of winning the title look very slim now.

But if a team can be hopeful of getting a result at Old Trafford, it has to be Southampton, who have recorded just four defeats from their last nine visits to Old Trafford (W2, D3). The Saints kept their survival hopes alive with a 1-0 win over Leicester City last time. The win took them off the foot of the PL table, even though they remain level on points with bottom-placed Bournemouth. With 12 of their 21 points this season coming on the road, the visitors will sense a chance to add another point to the board at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, given that Man Utd have netted at least twice in 15 successive home matches, while Southampton have kept just two clean sheets in their last eleven games, we can expect another high-scoring affair at Old Trafford on Sunday. So an over 2.5 goals game is the best prediction for this game.

Roberto Firmimo offered to Barcelona

March 11, 2023 No Comments

Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino is set to leave the club this summer after eight years of dedicated service and winning every available trophy. The Brazilian international is genuinely one of the best players the features under Jurgen Klopp, and they formed a lethal partnership with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah that excited club fans for years. However, after eight years at the club, his stay will end when his contract expires this summer. He has informed Liverpool of his intention to seek a new challenge, although the club had offered to extend his contract. So he will be available for free this summer. Read more: Rio Ferdinand urges Kylian Mbappe to consider Man Utd transfer According to reports by Sport, his agent has offered him to Barcelona this summer. The Blaugrana are looking for a cheap backup striker to fill in the absence of main striker Robert Lewandowski. After selling Memphis Depay and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Catalan team struggled to score goals when the Polish star was suspended or injured. Firmino could provide that necessary depth next season. His signing will also make financial sense, especially as Barca is in a dire financial situation. The Camp Nou side must reportedly sell an attacking player this summer to fund any player additions. So they will have to go the free transfer route to be able to sign players.

Manchester United in pole position to sign Gonçalo Ramos

March 11, 2023 No Comments

Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to sign Benfica forward Gonçalo Ramos. The Red Devils are in the market for a striker and are said to be in “advanced talks” with Benfica for their star forward. According to a report from Football Transfer Tavern, the Old Trafford side has held talks with the Portugal international’s representative Jorge Mendes, with Benfica willing to sell in a deal worth €100m (£88.6m). Read more: Manchester United to table huge offer for Camavinga Ramos caught the attention of many clubs at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where he scored a hat-trick against Switzerland. The 21-year-old continued his scintillating form for Benfica, contributing 32 goals in 34 games in all competitions for the Portuguese club.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 11, 2023 No Comments

Bournemouth and Liverpool will meet at Vitality Stadium this Saturday for the 27th Round of the 2022/23 Premier League season. Both sides are fighting at the other end of the spectrum, with the hosts sitting rock bottom of the Premier League after a narrow 3-2 loss to Arsenal last weekend. Despite leading the Premier League leaders 2-0 up till the 60th minute, Gary O’Neil’s succumbed to late pressure from Mikel Arteta’s men, with that the third time this season they’ve taken such a lead only to suffer defeat. Read more: Crystal Palace vs Manchester City: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The hosts have been conceding late goals recently, with the Cherries of the PL’s worst defence conceding a league-high eight goals after the 80th minute. However, the Vitality Stadium faithful will feel they can play a part in ensuring that tally isn’t added to against a rampant Liverpool side, which they have lost to in the last seven games. The Reds are still on cloud nine after a 7-0 win over their fierce rivals Manchester United last time. The win made it five games without defeat for Jurgen Klopp’s men in the league. It was also their fifth clean sheet in a row, and it took them to fifth position on the table, three points behind Tottenham, who have played a game more. Liverpool beat Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield in the reverse fixture, their seventh successive victory over their hosts, scoring a mammoth 28 goals and conceding only once in that time. Such a dominant record should make the Reds confident of winning this game and (at least momentarily) leapfrog Tottenham Hotspur into fourth place. That said, we can expect over 2.5 goals scored in this game.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 10, 2023 No Comments

Struggling Crystal Palace will look to end a terrible run of form this Saturday when they welcome Manchester City to Selhurst Park in the 27th Round of the 2022/23 PL season. The Eagles have been in free fall in 2023 and come into this tie without a league win this year. Their last outing was a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa and extended their winless run n all competitions to ten games (D5, L5). The goalless outing also means that Patrick Vieira’s side have not had a shot and target in over three hours of competitive action. Although they remain in 12th position, they are gradually sliding towards the relegation zone, with just five points now separating them from 18th-placed Everton. However, Palace boss Patrick Vieira was defiant in the build-up to this clash, stating, “we know we can compete against teams like Manchester City.” Read more: Bayern Munich vvs Augsburg: Preview and Expert Football Prediction With two clean sheets in their last three head-to-heads with City (W1, D1, L1), Palace will fancy their chances of recording a positive result against City. However, Pep GUardiola’s side are a formidable side in attack after scoring six goals across their last three competitive games. The visitors kept up the pace with league leaders Arsenal with a 2-0 win over Newcastle United last time, with five points the difference between both teams. However, with Mikel Arteta’s men playing on Sunday, Guardiola’s charges can crank up the pressure by provisionally cutting the gap to two points. But this game will not be a walk in the park for the Cityzens as each of their last nine goals against Palace have arrived after halftime. Also, the fact that the Eagles have won the lion’s share of their points (14/23) after conceding the opening goal (W4, D2, L8) means that another long evening is on the cards for City.

Napoli vs Atalanta: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 10, 2023 No Comments

Serie A high flyers Napoli will look to get back to winning ways when they welcome top-four hopefuls Atalanta to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday. The hosts suffered a rare loss last weekend when they went down 1-0 to Lazio at home. The loss ended a run of seven consecutive wins for Luciano Spaletti’s side, who maintained a healthy double-digit lead at the top of the table regardless of the result. They will fancy their chances of winning here, given that they have yet to lose consecutive matches this Serie A season. However, an upcoming Champions League round of 16-second leg after this clash against Atalanta, who defeated them 3-2 in their last Serie A home head-to-head, adds to the intrigue. Read more: Bournemouth vs Liverpool: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The visitors are among the only two teams to have beaten Napoli this season. Yet they are losing steam in the top-four race with only two wins from their last seven league games (D2, L3). Moreover, they have suffered indifferent results in their previous nine league games away from home (W3, D3, L3), threatening their Champions League qualification for next season. They have failed to score in three successive league games for the first time since October 2018 after firing blanks against Milan (2-0) and Udinese (0-0). But this trip may help them avert that prospect as the visitors have scored in the last nine Serie A H2Hs, their longest run against Napoli. Given the history of this tie, we can expect both teams to score here. So a BTTS/GG bet is the best prediction for this game.

Bayern Munich vs Augsburg: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 10, 2023 No Comments

Bayern Munich will look to keep their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table when they welcome Augsburg to Allianz Arena on Saturday. The hosts booked their place in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League last Wednesday thanks to a 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain. The win was their third in a row and their fourth consecutive game, where they scored 2+ goals. The Bavarians sit joint-top at the Bundesliga table, alongside fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund. Ahead of this Bavarian derby, Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann will hope to continue his impressive personal record against Augbsurg. Read more: Napoli vs Atalanta: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The Bayern coach has beaten these opponents more than any other (W12), although he lost out to them 1-0 earlier in the season – the only occasion Bayern have failed to score in their last 104 top-flight contests. Augsburg will likely suffer to win here, given that Bayern are unbeaten in their last 18 Bundesliga games at home (W12, D6). But the visitors will make the 40-mile trip to Allianz Arena boosted by triumph in their previous league outing. Augsburg beat Werder Bremen 2-1 last weekend to lift themselves eight points above the dropzone ahead of the Round. That’s the most significant cushion they’ve enjoyed over the relegation spots all season. However, there is one glaring problem ahead of this contest; their travel sickness. The Fuggerstädter have won all four of their top-flight home contests to start the year but lost all four of their away outings, marking the biggest contrast between home and away points of any Bundesliga side in 2023 (12), which perhaps makes what would be a surprise victory even more unlikely.

Rio Ferdinand urges Kylian Mbappe to consider Man Utd transfer

March 10, 2023 No Comments

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has asked his former side to prioritise the signing of PSG star Kylian Mbappe over signing Tottenham hit-man Harry Kane. The French striker’s future has become a subject of speculation after his side’s-latest UCL campaign ended Wednesday night after a last-16 defeat to Bayern Munich. After another poor season in Europe, PSG marquee players, including Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, are now being linked to moves away from the club. Read more: Manchester United to table huge offer for Camavinga Mbappe snubbed a move to Real Madrid to sign a new contract at Parc des Princes last summer, but that hasn’t stopped the rumours of his departure from PSG this summer. One of those who has asked him to take on a new challenge is United legend Ferdinand, who would like to see the Frenchman arrive at Old Trafford in the summer. Real Madrid have been tipped to make a fresh approach for Mbappe, but the former defender thinks the Premier League is the best place for Mbappe’s talent to grow further. “He’s the most devastating player to watch on the planet right now. I love watching him. I think to go to the next level; he needs to go to a more competitive league. I think as much as he’s been great for PSG, and they’ve been great for him, he’s won the World Cup, and now he’ll want to win the Champions League, and I don’t see that happening there,” The former United defender told BT Sport. “[He should move to] Man United! The Premier League is the best, most entertaining league in the world, the most competitive league in the world 100%. I’d love to see him come here – but nowhere else but Man United if he comes to England!” When asked to pick between Mbappe and Tottenham striker Harry Kane for a potential United switch, Ferdinand said: “Oh, 100% Mbappe. I think even Kane would say Mbappe as well. He’s young; he’s beginning to get towards his peak years. He’s not even there yet, and he’s already scored more than 200 goals for PSG, won a World Cup and been the top scorer at a World Cup.”

Spezia vs Inter Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 10, 2023 No Comments

Inter Milan will travel to Stadio Alberto Picco this Friday to face Spezia in the 26th Round of the 2022/23 Serie A season. Struggling Spezia did little to boost their survival hopes at the weekend as they held to a goalless draw by Hellas Verona. That draw means they missed the chance to open up a six-point gap to 18th place, with Spezia currently sat in 17th position, three points ahead of Verona. Read more: AS Roma vs Real Sociedad: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But that result did at least extend Spezia’s unbeaten run under new boss Leonardo Semplici to two matches (D2). They will now face one of the biggest occasions Serie A can offer – Inter Milan. Spezia have not fared well in this fixture, as they have zero wins in their last six encounters with Inter (D1, L5). And considering Semplici’s side are winless in their last nine league home games (D5, L4), failing to score a goal across the previous five, there appears little chance of a maiden head-to-head win here. Inter Milan look primed to take all three points from this game, considering their form heading into this fixture. The visitors are currently the second-best team in the league, with four wins in their last six league games (D1, L1), giving them a grip on second place as their quest for a sixth successive top-four finish continues. After suffering a rare 1-0 loss to Bologna on their last away trip, Inter will be desperate to bounce back from that loss which was their first league away defeat of 2023 on their previous road trip. Considering they come into the round with a joint-second most Serie A goals scored in the opening ten minutes of games (five), they will fancy their chances of ensuring they bounce back very early in this game. That said, a ‘Goal First Half’ bet will be the correct prediction for this game.

Cadiz vs Getafe: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 10, 2023 No Comments

It’s a huge battle between two relegation-threatened teams this weekend in La Liga as Getafe travel to Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla to Cadiz in the 25th round of the 2022/23 La Liga season. Both sides come into this tie separated by one point after 24 rounds of games. They are both sandwiched in the middle of a relegation logjam involving seven teams separated by just three points. But Cadiz have the advantage in the run-in given that their next three matches all come against clubs one point below them in the standings (Getafe, Almería, Sevilla). They come into this tie with confidence, given that they currently have the league’s third-longest home undefeated run (W4, D5). Furthermore, the hosts have also won their last three home games – their longest La Liga win streak since 1990/91, so they will fancy their chances of taking maximum points here. Read more: Manchester United vs Real Betis: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Getafe will hope to continue their unbeaten run against Cadiz when they travel to Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on Friday. The visitors, who are unbeaten in their last three games against their hosts (W1, D2), gave their survival chances a boost last time courtesy of a 3-2 home win over Girona. The win made it two wins in three games for Quique Sánchez Flores’ side, who also scored 2+ goals in a La Liga game for the first time since December. Their target will be to build on that win and end their recent winless record away from home. Like Cadiz, most of the visitors’ successes have come at home, with their most recent La Liga away win coming last October (D1, L4 since). That said, given the low firepower of both teams, we should expect a low-scoring affair with under 2.5 goals scored.
