Chelsea vs Borussia Dortmund: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 7, 2023 No Comments

Borussia Dortmund will look to advance to the next round of the Champions League when they travel to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday for the second leg of the knockout round. The Blues are looking to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit after falling to a narrow defeat in Germany courtesy of a goal by Karim Adeyemi. The loss formed part of a recent run of three consecutive defeats for Graham Potter’s side. But that run ended at the weekend as they secured a 1-0 home win over struggling Leeds United in the Premier League. The result also ended a run of six games without a win for Chelsea, who will now hope to make it back-to-back competitive wins for the first time since October. Read more: Brentford vs Fulham: Preview and Expert Football Prediction However, it will be tough to do so against this high-flying Borussia Dortmund side, who come into this fixture on a run of ten consecutive wins. The German Bundesliga side are arguably the most in-form team in Europe in 2023, having won all their games this year by a combined total of 26-8 while keeping four clean sheets. After struggling early in the season, they have rekindled their season and now sit level on points with Bayern Munich at the top of the league table. In the Champions League, they are unbeaten in their last five games (W2, D3) and even held Manchester City to a draw in that period. Edin Terzić will be hoping for more of the same from his boys as they try to advance to the quarter-final stage of the UCL for the fifth time in their history.

Rabiot is accessing his Juventus future

March 7, 2023 No Comments

Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot has revealed that he is weighing his options ahead of the summer. The French midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season in Turin but has yet to enter contract talks with Juventus, stating that “there’s still time to do that.” Rabiot has been at Juventus since 2019 after joining on a Bosman deal from Paris Saint-Germain. He was a transfer target of Manchester United last summer but eventually stayed in Turin, where he is a key player under Maximilliano Allegri. Read more: Modric wants to stay at Real Madrid despite Jude Bellingham’s links With Juventus currently struggling to make the top four because of a 15-point deduction, it is becoming increasingly likely that Rabio will seek a new challenge elsewhere. When asked about his future, the 27-year-old mentioned wanting to play Champions League football next season. “I want to play Champions League. It will be a crucial point to make a decision on my future,” Rabiot conceded. “There are no recent talks [for a new deal with Juventus], but we’ve time to do that. There’s no news at this stage.”

Osasuna vs Celta Vigo: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 6, 2023 No Comments

Osasuna will welcome Celta Vigo to Estadio El Sadar in the 24th round of the 2022/23 La Liga season. The hosts, who are are in the hunt for a first top-six La Liga finish since 2005/06, will look to make it three wins in a row when they face Celta. Having lost their way recently when they went winless across four league matches (D2, L2), they bounced last weekend with a 3-2 success at Sevilla, followed by a Copa del Rey semi-final first-leg 1-0 win over Athletic Club. Read more: Brentford vs Fulham: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Manager Jagoba Arrasate will hope his side can turn their focus to securing a win here ahead of a run of four matches against teams coming into the round below them in the table. However, Celta Vigo might be lucky here, given that Osasuna have never won a home game in their La Liga history on Monday (D6, L3). The visitors also boast a strong record on that day of the week, having not lost any of their last five league away games played on a Monday (W1 D4). The Sky Blues come into this game in good form, too, having lost just one of their last five league outings (W3, D1). Their last outing was an impressive 3-0 win over Valladolid. Yet, they start the round in 13th, just four points clear of the relegation zone, meaning they can’t rest on their laurels just yet. Meanwhile, Celta’s recent record at Osasuna doesn’t inspire confidence, as they’ve failed to win any of their last four La Liga matches at Estadio El Sadar (D2, L2). Failing to score in three of those games means an improvement in Celta’s backline – which has conceded more away goals (20) than all but three La Liga sides ahead of the round – could be critical to this contest.

Read more: Arsenal and Chelsea are on high alert for ‘free agent’ Zaha He is a big admirer of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and will rather sign for Liverpool than Manchester United and Juventus, who are also interested in his services.

March 6, 2023 No Comments

Manchester City are reportedly ready to sanction the sale of Aymeric Laporte this summer to enable them to sign highly-rated Croatian centre-back Josko Gvardiol. According to SPORT, City are one of the clubs battling for the signature of Gvardiol from RB Leipzig in the summer. Should they sign him, it would allow Spanish international Laporte to depart. Read more: Roberto Firmino to end eight-year stay at Liverpool this summer La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are on high alert and are ready to pounce if an opportunity to sign Laporte arises.

Brentford vs Fulham: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 6, 2023 No Comments

Fulham will look to keep their quest for a top-six finish alive when they travel to Brentford Community Stadium on Monday to face fellow Londoners and European hopefuls Brentford. Both teams are flying high in the Premier League table, sitting inside the top half after more than half of the league games. The hosts sit in ninth position after 23 games with eight wins, eleven draws and four losses. Only league leaders Arsenal and Newcastle United (both three) have recorded fewer losses this season than Thomas Frank’s men. Read more: Real Betis vs Real Madrid: Preview and Expert Football Prediction They come into this fixture without a league loss since October (W5, D6), so they will go into this tie confident of getting a win against a Fulham side who sit four points ahead of them. The visitors are currently occupying the seventh position, having played two more games than their hosts. So they will be desperate to win this tie to ensure they can remain close to the top four ahead of a crucial run of games. Marco Silva’s men booked an FA Cup quarter-final spot last time out, thanks to a 2-0 win over Leeds United. But the win came at the expense of key midfield player João Palhinha, who begins a two-game suspension here. But given that they are unbeaten in all but one PL game against sides beginning the round below themselves (W11, D5, L1), they will fancy their chances against Brentford.Click here to get direct win predictions

Real Betis vs Real Madrid: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 5, 2023 No Comments

Real Madrid will look to bounce back from their El Classico defeat when they travel to Estadio Benito Villamarín to face top-four hopefuls Real Betis. The hosts want to make it four consecutive league wins after recording three straight wins against Almería, Valladolid and Elche. But all three wins were against smaller sides, so they must again try to beat the reigning champions, who they lost to in the reverse fixture, to make it four in a row. Read more: Bayer Leverkusen vs Hertha Berlin: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But given that they have only beaten Madrid once in the last eight home H2Hs (D1, L6), another tough test awaits. A return of just one win in their last six home league games (D2, L3) also suggests that Real Madrid will record a direct win here. But for all their quality, Madrid aren’t firing on all cylinders at the moment. The visitors come into this tie off the back of a 1-0 loss to their fierce rivals Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final. That loss was another blow to their already slim hopes of landing a quintuple this season, given they trailed their rivals by seven points in the league following the last matchday. However, having lost three of their last seven away league games (W4), they cannot afford another loss here if they want to keep pressure on the leaders.

Liverpool vs Manchester United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 5, 2023 No Comments

Liverpool and Manchester United will renew their longtime rivalry in the Premier this Sunday when both sides meet at Anfield for the 62nd Premier League meeting. Clashes between both sides have often been top-of-the-table clashes. However, this time both are fighting for separate crowns this season. While the Red Devils are fighting to win the PL title, Liverpool are fighting to finish in the top four places. Read more: Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The hosts started the season poorly but have hit a purple patch recently, as evidenced by their four-game unbeaten run in the Premier League ahead of this game (W3, D1). They beat Wolves 2-0 in their last outing to make it four league games without conceding a goal. With just six points now separating them and fourth-placed Tottenham, they will be desperate to win this game to close the gap to three points with a game to spare. They are unbeaten in their last seven home games against Man United (W4, D3), so they will fancy their chances of getting a win. However, the Red Devils have proved tough opponents in their recent games. They come into this tie on an eleven-game unbeaten run (W9, D2) and at least one goal in 28 consecutive games. That run landed them a Carabao Cup last week and should have put them in a confident mood ahead of this game. However, no PL side has earned more points than the Red Devils’ 23 (W7, D2, L1) since the World Cup, so they will present a stern test for Jürgen Klopp’s side.Meanwhile, given that goals have been scored in both halves in nine of the last eleven H2H matches, we can place a ‘Goal First Half’ bet for this game.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Hertha Berlin: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 5, 2023 No Comments

Bayer Leverkusen will look to get back to winning ways in the Bundesliga when they face Hertha Berlin this Sunday. The hosts have enjoyed impressive results in Europe this season, having booked their place in the next round of the Europa League last week. But they have struggled in the league in 2023, winning just one of their last five league games (D1, L3) and slipping down the table. They currently sit in 11th position, with a ten-point gap to the top-six ahead of this round. So their chances of a top-six finish is hanging by a thread unless they can return to winning ways. Read more: Manchester City vs Newcastle United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction A return to BayArena is unlikely to be the catalyst for success either, as Leverkusen are on the verge of losing three straight home league games for the second time this season – that’s something they hadn’t done on even one occasion in any of the previous eight campaigns. However, Hertha Berlin aren’t a team to be feared, especially away from home. The visitors come into this tie with a shocking away league form, having taken four points from home this season. They have lost their last six away games, and one more would make this their worst run since a nine-game streak in 2016/17. Yet there is a glimmer of hope, though, as they’re unbeaten in six of their last seven league meetings with Leverkusen (W3, D3, L1). Click here to get Correct Score tips daily.

Arsenal and Chelsea are on high alert for ‘free agent’ Zaha

March 4, 2023 No Comments

Wilfried Zaha is set to leave Crystal Palace when his contract expires at the end of the season. According to talkSPORT, the Ivorian will not renew his contract in London and will be free to join a new club for free, having rejected multiple contract offers. Despite struggling with injuries, the 30-year-old has scored six goals and provided three assists in 20 games this season. He will have no shortage of suitors if he decides on a new adventure, with Arsenal and Chelsea the top two suitors for his services. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia are also thought to be in the picture if he decides to go abroad. Read more: Ivan Toney set for lengthy ban after admitting he breached several betting rules According to talkSPORT’s chief football correspondent Alex Crook, the winger is admired by both Mikel Arteta and Chelsea. Speaking on Drive, Crook said: “It seems that Wilf Zaha’s stellar career at Crystal Palace could be coming to an end. “His contract is up at the end of the season – no imminent sign that he is willing to extend. “And if he is to go and achieve his ambitions of playing for a top club, it’s now or never really isn’t it? “When you look at his age, the fact that he’s available as a free agent, he either commits his future to Crystal Palace and then probably sees out his top-flight career there. “Or he goes off and tests himself, I think there will be suitors, I know Mikel Arteta is a fan, I know that Chelsea have certainly taken a look at him in the past as well. “And I think there are big clubs in Europe who would be interested in a player of Wilf Zaha’s quality.”
