Thiago Silva extends Chelsea contract until 2024

February 11, 2023 No Comments

Thiago Silva has renewed his Chelsea contract until 2024. The Brazilian has been a mainstay in the Chelsea backline since he arrived at Stamford Bridge from Pasris Saint-Germain two years ago. Despite turning 38 years last September, Silva has shown few signs of slowing down, leading to Chelsea rewarding him with a contract that will last until he is almost 40 years old. Read more: Chelsea set to use Chalobah as bait to sign Denzel Dumfries After putting pen to paper on his new deal, Silva told the club’s official website, “I am honestly so happy to continue my career with the Blues. “When I signed my first contract here, it was to just do one year. Now it is already the fourth! I could not have imagined that, but really it is a very special moment for me to sign and stay at Chelsea.”

February 11, 2023 No Comments

Florian Balogun is subject to strong interest from Serie A champions AC Milan this summer after his impressive loan spell in Ligue 1. The forward joined French side Reims on loan from Arsenal and has impressed throughout the campaign. He currently sits top of Ligue 1’s goal charts with 14 goals from 21 appearances, which has attracted AC Milan’s interest. Read more: Tottenham and Manchester United target Bastoni According to the Daily Mail, the Serie A giants may attempt to land him in the summer to strengthen their attack. Milan previously wanted to sign Balogun while he was still in the Arsenal youth academy but couldn’t land him then, as Arsenal were unwilling to sell. But with his performance in France, Milan’s interest has been strengthened. However, the Rossoneri are not the only team credited with an interest, with Marseille and Villarreal also monitoring him.

February 11, 2023 No Comments

Leeds United and Manchester United will meet for the second time in four days when they clash at Elland Road this Sunday. Both sides played an entertaining 2-2 draw in midweek, with the host throwing away a two-goal lead late in the game. Despite this, that point against United would have pleased their fans, who would have enjoyed the energy and aggression their side played with despite not having a permanent manager. However, they hope to turn their energetic and fearless performance into wins as they are currently winless in eight Premier League matches (D4, L4). Read more: Lazio vs Atalanta: Preview and Expert Football Prediction That draw was another missed opportunity for Manchester United to close the gap between them and the top two. The Red Devils currently sit two points behind Manchester City and seven points behind league leaders Arsenal, having played two games more. They travel to Elland Road, where they are set to receive a hostile reception without a win in their last two away league games (D1, L1). They also have a record of six defeats from their last 11 PL games to be played on a Sunday (W4, D1). So the omens are pointing to another poor day on the road. But having scored in each of their last 22 games, this should feature goals. Meanwhile, click here to get the best betting tips today.

Bayern Munich vs Bochum: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

February 11, 2023 No Comments

Bayern Munich will welcome Bochum to Allianz Arena this Saturday for the 21st round of the 2022/23 Bundesliga season. The Bavarians ended a run of three consecutive league draws with an impressive 4-2 win over Wolfsburg last round. Despite being down to ten men for much of the game, the Bavarians went on to win and keep their slender one-point lead at the top. Although they have drawn their last two games at Allianz Arena, they should win against Bochum, given they have scored fewer than three goals in just one of the last six home league games against the visitors (W4, D2). Bochum suffered a 7-0 defeat in the reverse fixture. Yet, they come into this tie on the back of a 5-2 win over Hoffenheim in the league. Read more: Arsenal vs Brentford: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The win kept them three points ahead of the relegation zone ahead of this round. They will travel to Munich desperate for a win, and they will fancy their chances, having won two of their three league games against table-topping sides on the day (L1) since their return to the Bundesliga, Yet, the visitors have never beaten the league leaders of the day away from home in their entire Bundesliga history, a statistic that appears unlikely to change after losing nine of their ten away league games this season. The best prediction for this game will be a direct win for Bayern Munich. For direct win predictions, click here.

Lazio vs Atalanta: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

February 11, 2023 No Comments

Lazio will look to continue their impressive Serie A form this Saturday when they welcome Atalanta to Rome. The hosts’ push towards the UEFA Champions League spots is gathering momentum as they are unbeaten in five Serie A (SA) games (W2, D3). Yet, a 1-1 draw with Verona last time means that Maurizio Sarri’s men are winless in their last three competitive games (D2, L1). They will hope to end that poor streak here. However, a return to the Stadio Olimpico doesn’t bode well for them, with Lazio winning just two of the last eleven Serie A H2Hs with Atalanta (D5, L4). Read more: West Ham vs Chelsea: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But Atalanta come into this tie in poor shape, having suffered back-to-back, scoreless defeats to Inter Milan in their last league game in the Coppa Italia and Sassuolo. Gian Piero Gasparini’s men, like Lazio, are also chasing the top four but currently sit in sixth position, one point behind their fifth-placed hosts. They can leapfrog Lazio with a win here and be confident of doing so, given that they are currently on a run of five unbeaten away matches against Lazio (W2, D3). But with just two wins from seven away league games since (D3, L2), Atalanta are a bit of a mixed bag on the road.

Leicester vs Tottenham: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

February 11, 2023 No Comments

Tottenham Hotspur will look to make it three wins in three league games when they travel to King Power Stadium this Saturday to face Leicester City. The hosts produced one of their best-attacking displays of the season last time as they recorded a 4-2 win over Aston Villa, courtesy of a winner by January signing Tete. The win, which Brendan Rodgers described as “what I have been talking about for 18 months”, was their first since the restart, ending a run of five league games without a win (D1, L4). Read more: Arsenal vs Brentford: Preview and Expert Football Prediction They will hope to make it two consecutive wins ahead of a difficult run of fixtures that will see them face Manchester United (away) and Arsenal (home) after facing Tottenham. Should they fail to take maximum points from these games, they could again return fully to the relegation zone after battling hard to come out just before the World Cup. Tottenham will happily send them down to the red zone with a win. The visitors beat Leicester 6-2 the last time both sides met and have confidence and momentum after an impressive 1-0 win over Manchester City. The win over the defending champions was their third consecutive win and third consecutive clean sheet in all competitions. They are back in the top four race and hoping to take maximum points here, ahead of a tight fixture schedule that includes a midweek Champions League game against AC Milan at the San Siro. The last twelve head-to-head meetings between both sides have all produced a winner (Tottenham W9, Leicester W3), with seven of Tottenham’s nine wins coming by a multiple-goal margin. So we can expect Over 2.5 Goals in this fixture.

Monaco vs PSG: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

February 11, 2023 No Comments

Monaco will welcome run-away league leaders PSG to Stade Louis II this Saturday, with both sides battling for maximum points. Monaco continued their impressive post-World Cup run of form with a 2-0 win over Clermont Foot last weekend. The win extended their unbeaten run in the league to seven games (W5, D2) and kept them firmly planted in fourth position, ten points behind first-placed Paris Saint-Germain. The result was also their first clean sheet since a 1-0 over Brest on New Year’s Day. So they will look for another strong defensive showing here to avoid dropping points. Read more: West Ham vs Chelsea: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Having beaten PSG 3-0 in this fixture last season, and with just one loss in their last eight home Ligue 1 fixtures (W6, D1), they will fancy their chances here. After a disappointing midweek outing, PSG will focus on their league defence, hoping for maximum points. The Parisians were beaten 2-1 in the Coupe De France by fierce rivals Marseille in midweek, their third loss since after the World Cup. So they will travel to the principality desperate to bounce back and avenge their loss here last season. But they will be doing so without former Monaco star Kylian Mbappe, who misses out through injury, and Lionel Messi, who sustained a muscle injury in the midweek defeat to Marseille. With the likely absence of the duo, this could be a tight affair. However, Monaco’s home league fixtures this term have produced a Ligue 1-high average of four goals per game, so we could expect a high-scoring affair that will feature Over 2.5 Goals.

West Ham vs Chelsea: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

February 10, 2023 No Comments

West Ham will welcome London rivals Chelsea to London Stadium this Saturday for their 23rd Round fixture of the 2022/23 Premier League. West Ham come into this tie on the back of a hard-fought 1-1 draw with high-flying Newcastle United–a result manager David Moyes branded “one of our best performances of the season.” The result means the Hammers have only lost one of their last six games in all competitions (W3, D2), pulling out of the Premier League’s relegation zone. Read more: Cadiz vs Girona: Preview and Expert Football Prediction They will hope to build on that result and record back-to-back home wins for the first time since October. However, Moyes has a poor record against Chelsea as he has suffered more defeats against them than any other team except Manchester City, with a staggering 26 losses in 45 fixtures (W7, D12). Chelsea coach Graham Potter will hope they can take advantage of that poor record. However, they travel to East London on a dodgy form, having recorded just one win in their last seven competitive games (D3, L3). that run included back-to-back 0-0 draws in their last two games, meaning that they are unbeaten in their last three games while keeping a clean sheet in each game. Given their defensive solidity, and West Ham’s struggles in front of the goal, the best prediction for this game will be Under 2.5 Goals.

Arsenal vs Brentford: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

February 10, 2023 No Comments

Premier League leaders Arsenal will look to get back to winning ways when they welcome Brentford to the Emirates Stadium this Saturday. The Gunners lost for just the second time in the Premier League last weekend as they were beaten 1-0 by Sean Dyche’s Everton. The loss followed a 1-0 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup, meaning that Mikel Areteta’s side have failed to score in their last two games. Read more: AC Milan vs Torino: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Yet, they remain ahead in the title race with a five-point cushion over City, who have played a game more. For the hosts, returning to the Emirates Stadium after a pair of away defeats should soothe fears as they look to protect one of the only two unbeaten home league records that remain this term (W8, D1). However, Brentford is one of the Premier League’s most in-form sides. The Bees travel to North London unbeaten across their last nine Premier League games. That run includes taking points from Spurs, Liverpool and Manchester City, so we expect this tie to be a tight affair that will see both teams score. Thomas frank’s men have taken 11 points from a possible 18 against the “Big Six” teams this season (W3, D2, L1) while they scored 11 times whilst conceding only seven in reply across those games.

Tottenham and Manchester United target Bastoni

February 10, 2023 No Comments

Premier League duo Tottenham and Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni. According to the Daily Mail, the English duo are looking to take advantage of the player’s contract situation at the San Siro. The 23-year-old defender is out of contract in 2024 but has failed to commit to a new deal with Inter. Read more: Chelsea set to use Chalobah as bait to sign Denzel Dumfries As a result, the Nerazzurri are considering a sale in the summer to avoid losing him for nothing next season. But the sale of Bastoni will pose a massive problem for Simone Inzaghi’s side, who are set to lose key defenders Milan Skriniar and De Vrij on free transfers in the summer.
