Sunderland vs Fulham: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Sunderland and Fulham will face off in the FA Cup fourth round this Wednesday when they meet at Stadium of Light. Both teams played out a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage last week to set up this second leg which will go to penalties if both teams fail to win inside 90 minutes.  Sunderland come into this tie in good form, having lost just one of their last nine competitive fixtures (W4, D4). As a result, they should be confident of pushing their Premier League rivals all the way.  Read more: Manchester United vs Leeds United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Also, a run of five competitive games without defeat as pre-match outsiders (W2, D3) further illustrates their capabilities of testing a team in England’s top flight. Meanwhile, Fulham come into this tie in a dodgy form, having failed to win any of their last four games while failing to score in three.  Fulham manager Marco Silva has urged his players to live up to the challenge, threatening to drop any player who did not take this tie seriously. However, considering that they have lost just one of their last five away games in all competitions will give them confidence going into this tie. Also, given that all but one of Fulham’s last seven competitive fixtures produced fewer than 2.5 total goals, we can expect the same here.

Arsenal in pole position to sign Lazio Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

Current Premier League leaders Arsenal are in the lead to sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic should he leave Lazio this summer. According to Corriere dello Sport, the Serbian midfielder has made an ‘irreversible decision’ to leave the club this summer or when his contract ends in June 2024.  The player was in demand last summer, but Lazio demanded up to £100m for him.

Manchester United vs Leeds United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Manchester United will look to make it five wins in five games when they host Leeds United on Wednesday. Despite playing the last 15 minutes of their last game with ten men, the Red Devils continued their impressive run of form with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace at the weekend.  The result, followed by Arsenal’s loss to Everton and Manchester City’s loss to Tottenham, means that the Red Devils have returned to the Premier League title race. They currently sit eight points behind the Gunners but with a game more. Read more: Verona vs Lazio: Match Preview and Expert Football Prediction Having won each of their last 13 games at Old Trafford and having not tasted defeat in any of their last 17 home league H2Hs (W11, D6) against Leeds, they will come into this game confident of getting a good result. Leeds United recently sacked head coach Jesse Marsch after a run of just two wins in 17 Premier League (PL) games (D5, L10). That run left Leeds just above the relegation zone by goal difference. Things do not look good for them, considering they have won just once at Old Trafford since 1981. But they have scored exactly once in five of the last six away H2Hs, so we can expect both teams to score in this fixture. For best BTTS prediction, click here.

Salernitana vs Juventus: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Salernitana will host Juventus this Tuesday at the Stadio Arechi for their 21st-round game of the 2022/23 Serie A season. Salernitana celebrated their first Serie A win in three months when they defeated Lecce by 2-1 in the last round. The result ended a run of seven games without a win (D2, L5) for the hosts and pushed them eight points above the relegation zone. So they will come into this game with a measure of breathing space, given the point gap between them and the drop zone.  Read more: Rayo Vallecano vs Almería: Match Preview and Expert Football Prediction However, having conceded a league-high 38 goals and with their last league clean sheet now ten matches ago, they will be aware that their fight for safety is far from over. While they held Juventus to a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture, their mediocre home form (W3, D3, L4) suggests that it will be another difficult outing for them. David Nicola’s men have not won at home against sides that started this round above them, so Juventus will fancy their chances here. But the Old Lady will also know that it will not be easy here, having lost 2-0 to Monza in their last league outing. That loss means that they come into this tie just ten points from the relegation zone. Ten points from the red line will be a massive gap for smaller teams, but for Massimiliano Allegri’s men, it is an embarrassment. The coach, after their most recent loss, demanded that his players must ‘be aware of the position in the table at this moment’.  His fears are valid when you consider that Juventus have conceded ten goals in their current three-game winless Serie A run (D1, L2) compared with just seven goals from the 17 games prior. But having beaten Lazio 1-0 in the Coppa Italia on Thursday, they will travel to the Campania region in a good mood. At the same time, four clean sheets from four away league matches against sides that started this round below them (W3, D1) puts them as the favourites here.  So this game is likely to produce Under 2.5 Goals.

Almería will visit Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas on Monday to take on Rayo Vallecano.

Verona vs Lazio: Match Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Lazio will travel to Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi on Monday to face Verona in the 21st round of the 2022/23 Serie A season. The relegation-threatened Verona continued their upturn with a 1-1 draw against Udinese last time out. The result extended their impressive Serie A start to the new year (W2, D2, L1), a run that moved them to within five points of safety coming into the round.  Having lost the reverse fixture against Lazio 2-0, the hosts will be eager to avoid their first double head-to-head defeats in a single season since 2017/18.
