Betting Preview for PSG VS Le Havre Betting On PSG PSG are coming off a dramatic UEFA Champions League quarter-final victory and are unbeaten in Ligue 1 for months.

They won the reverse fixture 4-1 after scoring three late goals and are unbeaten in their last three matches against Le Havre. Expect a mix of rested stars and fringe players hungry to impress.

Betting Preview for Aston Villa VS Newcastle United Betting On Aston Villa Aston Villa head into this weekend on the back of a midweek European fixture. They currently sit seventh in the table with 54 points, just one point off the top five. A win here could push them closer to a Champions League spot. Despite their attacking firepower, Villa have struggled defensively, conceding the most goals among teams in the current top eight. However, the likes of Ollie Watkins, Marcus Rashford, and Marco Asensio can trouble any defense on their day. Betting On Newcastle United Newcastle have been in strong form, boasting the best record over the last five league matches. They’re third on the table with 59 points and look to strengthen their grip on Champions League qualification. The Magpies have been free-scoring lately, and their attacking balance under Eddie Howe makes them tough to beat. But they’ll need to remain tight at the back to avoid being exposed by Villa’s quick forwards. MatchPlug Prediction For Aston Villa VS Newcastle United This is a huge game in the top-four race, with both teams motivated and in good form. With attacking talent on both sides and shaky defenses, goals are expected. It’s hard to split the sides, so we’re leaning towards a score draw. Final Prediction: Draw

Football Prediction Today: Everton VS Manchester City

Everton welcome Manchester City to Goodison Park for a Premier League round 33 clash on Saturday, April 19th. Read our prediction for the Everton vs Manchester City.With City chasing Champions League qualification and Everton enjoying a revival under David Moyes, Matchplug previews this compelling matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for 03:00 pm. Betting Preview for Everton VS Manchester City Betting On Everton Everton’s resurgence under David Moyes has been impressive. They’ve lost just two of their last 13 games and recently claimed a dramatic 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Although they’ve drawn their last four home games, the Toffees are difficult to break down, especially at Goodison Park. Their defensive structure could frustrate City again, as it did in the reverse fixture which ended in a draw. Everton have drawn seven matches against top-half sides this season. Betting On Manchester City Manchester City produced a five-star comeback in their last game, recovering from 0-2 down to beat Crystal Palace 5-2. Goals came from De Bruyne, Marmoush, Kovacic, McAtee, and O’Reilly as Pep Guardiola’s men showed their depth and resilience. Still, their season has fallen below expectations. Currently sitting fifth, they’re battling for Champions League qualification rather than another title. City have struggled against low-block teams this season, so this won’t be a straightforward trip to Merseyside. MatchPlug Prediction For Everton VS Manchester City Everton will make this a scrappy, physical encounter, and Moyes’ side are unlikely to roll over. City’s quality should see them through, but don’t expect a blowout. Our prediction for this match is Manchester City to Win, Both Teams to Score. Final Prediction: Man City Moneyline.

Kewell Calls Van Dijk the ‘Best Centre-Back’ in Premier League History

Former Liverpool and Australia player Harry Kewell has praised Virgil Van Dijk as the “best centre-back” in Premier League history in an interview with Sky Sports.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has confirmed he is “fully fit” ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Arsenal. The 32-year-old Belgium international has missed Real’s last three matches due to injury but assured reporters on Monday that he is ready to return. “I am fully fit and I feel good,” Thibaut Courtois said. “It was not a big issue so I could train in the gym, and I have been on the pitch for the last day so I feel fine and 100 per cent.” Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was forced to start 19-year-old Fran Gonzalez in their surprise 2-1 loss to Valencia at the weekend, after back-up keeper Andriy Lunin also suffered an injury.

Lautaro Martinez Avoids Ban for Blasphemy

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez has avoided a suspension after reaching a plea deal with the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) over the use of offensive language during a match against Juventus. The 27-year-old Argentina striker has agreed to pay a fine of €5,000 (£4,200) after being accused of using blasphemous language during Inter’s 1-0 loss in Turin in February. Under FIGC rules, taking the Lord’s name in vain is prohibited. Martinez had initially denied the allegations, saying the week after—following a match-winning goal against Genoa—“I have never done it, ever”.“I try to teach respect to my children, these accusations have caused me great irritation,” he added. Lautaro Martinez is not the first to fall foul of the FIGC’s strict blasphemy rules. Legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon received a one-match ban in March 2021 for foul language directed at teammate Manolo Portanova. More recently, Monza goalkeeper Stefano Turati was handed the same punishment in August 2023 for blasphemous swearing while playing for Frosinone in a loss to Napoli.

Cantona accuses Ratcliffe of trying to ‘destroy everything’

Former Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has launched a scathing attack on the club’s co-owner Jim Ratcliffe, accusing him and his leadership team of destroying the club. British billionaire Ratcliffe took over football operations at United in February 2024 after acquiring a minority stake. Since then, his tenure has been marked by controversy. He sacked manager Erik ten Hag and brought in Ruben Amorim Amorim, but the team continues to struggle, currently sitting 13th in the Premier League. Ratcliffe, a lifelong United supporter, has also faced backlash for raising ticket prices and cutting costs, which led to around 450 staff losing their jobs. At the same time, he unveiled plans to build a new 100,000-capacity stadium, which has sparked further criticism. Cantona, now a co-owner of FC United, spent five successful years at United under Sir Alex Ferguson, winning four Premier League titles and two FA Cups. He warned that moving away from Old Trafford would be a major mistake. “This team of directors, they try to destroy everything. They don’t respect anybody. They even want to change the stadium. The stadium is iconic,” he said.   “For me, Arsenal lost their soul when they left Highbury and I’m sure a lot of fans miss Highbury. I don’t think United can play in another stadium than Old Trafford.”
