Arsenal vs Manchester City: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

It’s the top-of-the-table clash in the Premier League this Wednesday as league leaders Arsenal take on defending champions Manchester City. The Gunners come into this tie just three points ahead of City with a game in hand, so there is a chance that Pep Guardiola’s side will overtake them here if they drop points. That makes this tie a must-win for Mikel Arteta’s title chasers. However, they come into this tie in dire form, having not won in three competitive games (D1, L2). Although their last game saw a VAR error. Arteta will hope the conditions are okay in this game as he attempts to beat his mentor. Read more: AC Milan vs Tottenham: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Guardiola is the only manager Arteta has failed to beat in the PL  (L5), and City have also emerged victorious the last ten times these clubs have faced each other in this competition. So, the Catalan coach will feel confident here. Yet his team’s run of three losses in the last seven games (W4) shows that things can go wrong for them if they lose focus. With three clean sheets in the last five meetings between both sides, we can expect a low-scoring affair when both teams meet. However, given the league position of both teams and the magnitude of this game, we can expect a cagey affair. So a bet of under 2.5 goals could be the best prediction for this game.

Read more: Sampdoria vs Inter Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction  But they ended their seven-game winless run (D2, L5) across all competitions with a 1-0 Serie A victory against Torino last Friday.

The result ended a run of three straight wins for Spurs and kept them outside the top four in the Premier League. They travel to San Siro looking for a repeat of their performance here when they secured a 1-0 win in this fixture to qualify for the next round.

PSG vs Bayern Munich: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bayern Munich will travel to Paris this Tuesday to face struggling French giants Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League round of 16. PSG endured a difficult weekend in the French league as they were beaten 3-1 by Monaco. The loss was their fourth in 2023, mounting pressure on coach Christopher Galtier. The coach, after the game, conceded that he is “worried” about this first leg against Bayern as injuries to the likes of Lionel Messi, Marco Verratti, and Kylian Mbappé have hit his squad. Read more: Liverpool vs Everton: Preview and Expert Football Prediction However, Mbappe and Messi are expected to be fit enough to start this game, so we can expect some entertainment and goals as PSG are the only remaining side in the knockouts yet to keep a clean sheet, while they have scored in all but one of their last 32 UCL home games. Bayern Munich will also come with an arsenal of goals and entertainment, with the Bavarians the only side that won all their group-stage games. They were also the top-scoring side in the group stage with 18 goals despite having Inter Milan and Barcelona in their group.  The last time Bayern won their first seven games of a UCL campaign was in 2019/20, and that season they lifted the trophy. So they will be hoping for a seventh win on the bounce in the UCL and a fourth consecutive win in all competitions, having beaten Bochum 3-0 at the weekend. With both sides laden with attacking depth, we can expect a high-scoring affair with over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
