Arsenal vs Crystal Palace: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 19, 2023 No Comments

Arsenal will continue their quest for their first Premier League title in almost 20 years when they welcome Crystal Palace to Emirates this Sunday. The hosts kept their place at the top of the table with an impressive 3-0 win over Fulham in their last PL outing. The win made it five consecutive league wins for the Gunners, with 3+ goals scored in four games. However, Mikel Arteta’s side suffered a shocking loss to Sporting Lisbon on Thursday in the Europa League. After a 1-1 draw in regular and extra time, the Portuguese side beat Arteta’s side on penalties to confirm their exit in the only other Cup competition they are still playing this season.

They currently sit five points ahead of their closest challengers Manchester City. And with Pep Guardiola’s side not in league action this weekend, they will now be looking to further open the gap by notching up a sixth successive top-flight win in a single season. Managerless Palace travel to the Emirates looking to become the second Premier League team to win against the Gunners at home, where Arteta’s side have suffered just one defeat in their last 16 home league outings (W13, D2). The Eagles sacked their manager Patrick Vieira after a sorry run of form that saw them go winless in eleven competitive games (D5, L6), the longest winless run of any club in the top flight this season. That run of form has pushed Palace down the table and into the relegation battle. They entered this round of games sitting just three points ahead of the bottom three. With the bottom clubs picking up points more regularly, the visitors know that unless they improve, they will find themselves fully in the bottom three soon. They will be desperate to avoid getting sucked in completely before the international break. Click here to get today’s soccer predictions.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 19, 2023 No Comments

Fresh from qualifying for a place in the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid will turn their attention to La Liga, where they face Barcelona in the 253rd of the El Clasico. Unlike the visitors, Barcelona didn’t participate in any games in midweek, so they will come into this game fresher. Their last outing was a 1-0 win over Athletic Bilbao away from home, taking their points tally for the season to 65 points. That is nine more than their closest rivals Real Madrid, who come into this tie desperate for a win to ensure the Catalan side do not go into the international break with a near-impregnable 12-point lead with 12 La Liga matches left. Read more: Arsenal vs Crystal Palace: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But given their form at home in La Liga, Barca will win this game. Barca are unbeaten in 12 home league games (W10, D2) this campaign, which is their best-undefeated start at home at this stage since 2019/20. Real Madrid might be unbeaten in their last five league games (W3, D2), but two draws in their last three have put them in a difficult position ahead of the last dozen league games. Carlo Ancelotti’s side are now playing catch-up in the race for the title and will be desperate to win in Camp Nou and avenge their last two defeats to Barca in the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup. The good thing, though, is that Los Blancos have won their last two away H2Hs and could make it the second time in history that they’ve won three straight such trips.

Udinese vs AC Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 18, 2023 No Comments

AC Milan will travel to Udine this Saturday to face Udinese. The hosts clung onto their top-half position with just a one-point cushion ahead of this round thanks to a 1-0 victory over Empoli in their last Serie A outing. Manager Andrea Sottil stated that his side “deservedly won” that game. He will be hoping that his boys can use the confidence gained after ending a six-game winless run by putting together back-to-back victories for the first time since last October. Read more: Southampton vs Tottenham: Preview and Expert Football Prediction A return to Dacia Arena could be a good omen for the host’s chances of entering the impending international break on a high as, despite failing to win here this year, they had lost only once (D4, L1). AC Milan failed to boost their chance of a top-four finish last time when they were held to a 1-1 draw with Salernitana. The Rossoneri are clinging onto a top-four berth by the skin of their teeth after a pair of winless league games (D1, L1). However, with their closest chasers, Roma playing on Sunday, Milan knows only a win will guarantee a top-four position during the international break. Improving on some suspect away Serie A form in 2023 (W2, D1, L3) will be vital to securing the visitors’ place in the top tier of European football. Having won just two of the last six away H2Hs (D2, L2), this game certainly won’t be easy for Milan. Click here to get today’s soccer predictions.

Borussia Dortmund vs FC Koln: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 18, 2023 No Comments

Borussia Dortmund will look to rekindle their title quest this Saturday when they take on FC Koln at Signal Iduna Park. The hosts are fighting perennial Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich for this season’s title. But their chances of ending the Bavarians’ run to an eleventh consecutive league title took a big hit last time when they were held to a 2-2 draw with Schalke 04 in the Revierderby. The draw followed a disappointing 2-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, confirming BVB’s exit from the Champions League. However, after a run of ten consecutive wins, two games without a win isn’t enough for Edin Terzić to panic just yet. Read more: Chelsea vs Everton: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But with Bayern now two points ahead, the Dortmund manager will be desperate for his side to bounce back here and keep them within striking distance of Bayern ahead of the international break. The potential returns of Marco Reus and Karim Adeyemi should help here. As Dortmund have only lost one of the last 22 home H2Hs against Cologne (W17, D4), this could be an ideal opportunity for them to return to winning ways. The visitors travel to Westfalenstadion in terrible form, having not won in their last four games (D1, L3). In fact, they failed to score in each of those games, resulting in a slide down the standings. They appear safe from the bottom three for the moment, though, while starting the round seven points from both the relegation zone and the top half means the destiny of their season is now clearly in their own hands. But having not won here with fans present since April 1991, it’ll be challenging for the Billy Goats to rediscover some goalscoring form. We suggest a sure home win prediction for this game.

Chelsea vs Everton: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 18, 2023 No Comments

Chelsea will look to make it four consecutive wins when they welcome struggling Everton to Stamford Bridge this Saturday. The Blues have put together a sting run of results to rekindle their top four hopes and buy under-fire manager Graham Potter more time. The Chelsea manager was in danger of getting sacked last month after overseeing a run of just one win in eleven competitive games (D4, L6). But three straight wins in all competitions have restored the right mood at Stamford Bridge and the fans’ confidence. Additionally, their tally of five goals from their last two games hints that they may have finally overcome the attacking woes that have plagued them earlier. Read more: Udinese vs AC Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Their target will be to build on that brilliant run against a struggling Everton side who haven’t won in the league at Stamford Bridge since 1994–an incredible 27 Premier League games (W15, D12). However, given how tough they seem to be under Sean Dyche, the Toffees will fancy their chances of getting a result. The visitors have become less vulnerable under the former Burnley coach and recorded three wins under his watch. They defeated top six hopefuls Brentford 1-0 last time, meaning that since Dyche’s arrival, only five PL teams have picked up more points than them (ten – W3, D1, L3). But the fact that none of those wins came on the road will be a cause for concern. Also, Everton have earned fewer points on the road (18) than any of the 17 PL sides to feature across both seasons.

Southampton vs Tottenham: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 18, 2023 No Comments

Tottenham will take their fight for a top-four finish to Saint Mary’s Stadium this Saturday, where they will face a struggling Southampton side. The Saints remain rooted at the bottom of the Premier League table but are fighting hard to ensure they escape the drop. Despite scoring just two goals, they have scrapped hard to collect seven points from their five Premier League fixtures under interim manager Rubén Sellés. Read more: Borussia Dortmund vs FC Koln: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But their increasingly desperate bid to get off the bottom of the table will face some stern tests in the next month when they host top-four clubs Tottenham and Manchester City. However, some positive upsets, such as their 1-0 triumph at Chelsea on Sellés’ PL debut, could be key to saving the team from relegation. But delving deeper into their miserable campaign suggests it’s not likely to happen consistently. In fact, against the nine clubs ranked above Chelsea going into this round, Southampton lamented a winless D2, L9 PL record, conceding 3+ goals on six occasions, including a 4-1 loss away to Tottenham in the opening round. Meanwhile, Tottenham strengthened their grip on fourth position with a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest last time out. The win was their fourth consecutive win at home in the Premier League. However, embarrassing losses to both Wolves (1-0) and Leicester City (4-1) in their last two PL trips has shown that when travelling to clubs with survival as their sole focus, they have the potential to be overwhelmed. But given that they have won four of their last six meetings with Southampton, they will fancy their chances of ending their four consecutive losses away from home here. Meanwhile, two of the last 30 PL matches involving either club ended in a draw. So we can expect a direct win in this game. Click here to get direct win predictions.

Liverpool enter race to sign Julián Brandt

March 17, 2023 No Comments

Premier League giants Liverpool have reportedly entered the race to sign Borussia Dortmund’s in-form midfielder Julian Brandt. According to reports in the 90min, the Reds want the German international who has been in red-hot form this season. Brendt has scored nine goals and five assists across all competitions and has been vital for Dortmund’s good run of results. Read more: Inter confirm Lukaku will return to Chelsea this summer This is not the first time the Reds will be interested in Brandt. They were interested in the 26-year-old when he was still at Bayer Leverkusen before he joined Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2019. Jurgen Klopp’s side are looking to reinvent their forward line after a poor season and would like Brandt to be part of their new-look attack. But they are not alone in their pursuit of the player. They will have to compete with Arsenal, Manchester City and Newcastle for the 26-year-old. Meanwhile, Dortmund continue to make efforts to extend his deal at Signal Iduna Park, meaning that it will take a decent sum to prise him away from the German side.

Crystal Palace sack Patrick Vieira after terrible run of results

March 17, 2023 No Comments

Crystal Palace have sacked their manager Patrick Vieira after a poor run of results that has seen the Eagles sit just three points off the relegation zone. Palace started the season brightly under the former Arsenal captain and were at the top half of the table briefly. But a run of 12 games without a win has left them staring down the barrel of relegation, leading to the sack of their manager. Read more: Sergio Ramos attracting interest from the MLS The south London club released a statement on the club website confirming the sack. “It is with enormous regret that this difficult decision has been made,” Palace chairman Steve Parish said in a statement. “Ultimately, results in recent months have placed us in a precarious league position, and we felt a change is necessary to give us the best chance of retaining Premier League status. Patrick has given his all to the club, and we all thank him and his team for their service.” The Selhurst Park club also confirmed that Vieira’s coaching staff of Osian Roberts, Kristian Wilson and Said Aigoun had also left the club, claiming that “the process to appoint a new manager is underway.” Vieira spent less than two years in charge at Selhurst Park when he took over from Roy Hodgson in 2021. Palace’s next game is away at league leaders Arsenal on Sunday

Atalanta vs Empoli: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 17, 2023 No Comments

Atalanta’s quest for a top-four finish in the Italian Serie A will continue this Friday when they welcome Empoli to Bergamo. The hosts are fighting to return to continental football next season after an eight-place finish kept them off a place in any of the UEFA competitions. But it’s been a poor recent run for Atalanta who, following Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Napoli, are now winless in four successive Serie A outings (D1, L3). As a result, La Dea have fallen out of the top four and they now face a huge challenge to try to get back into those positions. Read more: Real Betis vs Manchester United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction They finished the last round six points adrift with their tally of 42 points after 26 games their lowest in four years. Their main issue has been a lack of goals, as they’ve managed just one across their last four league matches. Empoli have shut them out in three of their last four H2Hs at this venue (W1, D2, L1), though it should be noted that Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have netted at least once in all of their nine matches against teams starting this round 14th or below, thus not enthusing them about their arrival. The hope for Atalanta is that the visitors will visit Gewiss Stadium in pretty rotten form, with no league win in seven outings (D3, L4). Their main issue have been defending set-pieces this season, as there’s only one side that has conceded more Serie A goals from set-pieces (nine) than Empoli. At the other end of the pitch, there are only three teams who have scored fewer league goals (23) than Empoli. So, improving in both boxes will be crucial if the Blues are to have any chance of beating one of the sides featuring in the top ten ahead of the round for only the third time this season (D4, L8).

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

March 17, 2023 No Comments

Top four hopefuls Newcastle United will travel to City Ground this Friday to face Nottingham Forest in their 28th Round game of the 2022/23 Premier League season. Forest are fighting for their lives in the Premier League, with their goal for the season still to secure a place in the top flight. Having moved away from the bottom three of the Premier League table with a series of positive results just before and after the World Cup break, Forest’s early season problems have resurfaced. Steve Cooper’s side come into this fixture without a win in five games (D2, L3). Their most recent outing was a 3-1 loss to Tottenham, meaning that they are now just two points above the relegation zone as they fight to avoid an immediate return to the Championship. Read more: Arsenal vs Sporting Lisbon: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But the Tricky Trees have a decent record at home with the bulk of their poor form coming on the road. They are currently on an impressive nine-game unbeaten run at the City Ground (W4, D5), helping them to collect 20 of their 26 points this season on home soil. Eddie Howe’s Newcastle will look to make it two league wins in a row for the first time since November when they travel to City Ground on Friday. The Magpies ended a run of five games without a win across all competitions (D2, L3) when they secured a late 2-1 win over Wolves last time out. That result rekindled their hopes of qualifying for a UEFA competition for the first time since 2006/07, as they are now just four points behind fourth-placed Spurs. Ahead of their visit to London, they will be confident of a positive result, given that they are unbeaten against Forest in the top flight since 1988 (W6, D4). However, they need to find their goal-scoring touch in order to record a positive result here and finish in a Champions League place, as they have netted just once in their last four PL away fixtures (D3, L1).
