Manchester City vs Manchester United Match Preview, Match Prediction and Betting Tips

This game is one that the fans of Manchester City have been waiting for a long time now as they could potentially win the Premier League title with a win here. Their 3-0 loss to Liverpool on Wednesday would have affected their confidence and Pep Guardiola would have his mind on reversing that scoreline on Tuesday that may see a much-changed line up here. They have lost just once all season and have 7 wins from their last 8 Premier League games, they have won all but one of their last 15 home games, beating the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Arsenal. Manchester United would be looking to delay Manchester City’s title celebration in this game. They are currently 2nd on the league table with a huge 16 points gap between them and they are just two points ahead of Liverpool who are 3rd. Their 2-0 win over Swansea made it 4 wins on the bounce for them in the Premier League. They have, however, struggled away to the top sides having been beaten at both Spurs and Chelsea while drawing at Liverpool.

Everton vs Liverpool Match Preview, Football Prediction and Betting Tips

Despite the fact that they are not currently in a relegation scrap and the fact that they would survive tthat this season, Everton’s form has not been very great recently. The Toffees recorded back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time since December prior to last weekend, but they could not continue that good run of form at home against champions-elect, Manchester City the last and they fell to yet another defeat. That was their 8th time they were losing a match in their last 13 games in all competition with only 4 of those games ending in wins. Almost all of their wins and draws from that time have come against teams below them on the league table and they have won only one and lost 6 games against teams above them on the league table. Liverpool may have been eliminated early from all domestic cup competitions this season, but they still have the chance to win a competition as they are still in contention for the Champions League and their performance against Manchester City on Wednesday would have boosted their morale ahead of this game. Mohamed Salah’s injury was the only negative in that game against the Cityzens as he seemed to have picked up a groin injury, however, Liverpool do not lack talent in the attack and Jurgen Klopp may even decide to switch things around a little here to keep his star men fresh for the game at the Etihad on Tuesday. The Reds have 8 wins from their last 12 games, and 3 or more goals have been scored in 9 of those games.

Juan Mata will leave Manchester United next summer and his replacement would come from Chelsea

Jose Mourinho has already begun making plans for next season as he looks to take the Premier League title from Manchester City. The Portuguese manager is already fed up with the form and performance level of some of his star players and he is ready to bring the axe on some of them. One player who would most likely not be at Old Trafford next season is former Chelsea star, Juan Mata whose deal remains just a year. According to Sun Sport, Jose Mourinho is already lining up a replacement for the diminutive Spaniard who was a club record signing from Chelsea in the winter of 2014. Per the reports, the Portuguese tactician has earmarked Chelsea’s Willian as the ideal replacement for Mata. Willian was close to joining the Red Devils last summer, but changed his mind and decided to remain at Stamford Bridge. The Brazilian’s current deal runs out in the summer of 2020, so Chelsea do have a strong hand in negotiations and they would reportedly demand for the same 30 million they paid for his service five years ago.

Deportivo La Coruna vs Malaga Match Preview, Match Prediction and Betting Tips

There is almost nothing these two teams can do to stop themselves from playing this fixture the next time in the Segunda division as they have just 37 points between them this season, we still believe in miracles though. Depor are the form and position favourites going into this clash and a win here would help them close the gap with 17th placed Levante to 5 points, however, that may still not happen as they have not won any of their last 15 games and they still have no wins under their current manager, Clarence Seedorf. Malaga know that With 8 games to go, they would need to more than double the 17 points they currently have before they can stay out of the relegation zone. That is very unlikely at the moment even though they secured a shock win over Villarreal last weekend except they can build on that and hope that other results goes their way. Malaga have lost 80% of their away games this season, they have the worst away record in the league as well as the worst goalscoring record in the La Liga. Depor have been doing better defensively recently as can be confirmed by their 1-0 loss at Atletico Madrid the last time.

Saint-Etienne vs Paris Saint-Germain Match Preview, Football Prediction and Betting Tips

The in-form Saint-Etienne host an equally in-form PSG side  in this game and they would be hoping to stop the Champions-elect as well as continue their impressive goalscoring record at home in this game. Saint-Etienne have been putting in some impressive performances recently and they have put together a good run of form that has seen them go unbeaten in their last 9 games, winning 5 and drawing the rest. They won their last two outings against Guingamp and Nantes and they would be looking to build on that here. PSG have been in great form over the past few weeks especially on the attack despite the absence of Neymar who is expected to still spend some time on the sidelines. They have netted 12 times in their last 4 games with Metz, Angers, Nice and Monaco all being rolled over by the in-form Kylian Mbappe and Edison Cavani. The Parisians are just five goals away from breaking into the 100-goal a season group of teams and they could get there in this game except Saint Etienne puts in one of their very good defensive performance. PSG have 20 wins and 6 losses from the last 37 meetings between these sides.

Atletico Madrid vs Sporting CP Match Preview, Match Prediction and Betting Tips

Atletico have become one of the Champions League’s biggest teams over the past few seasons, however, this season has taken a poor direction after a poor start to the season saw the leave the Champions League in the group stages after they could only manage to come 3rd behind AS Roma and Chelsea. There is 9 points gap separating them and Barcelona in the La Liga and they have been eliminated from the Copa Del Rey, Diego Simeone’s men know this is their only hope of finishing the season with a trophy. Atleti won Deportivo 1-0 at the weekend, a win that was their 12th from their last 14 games, this run included Europa League wins over Lokomotiv Moscow and Copenhagen.  They have 14 wins from their last 16 games at the Wanda Metropolitana, keeping 13 clean sheets, which makes it almost mission impossible for Sporting Lisbon to get a good result here. Sporting Lisbon haven’t been on their very best most recently as they have lost 3 of their last 6 competitive games including to Braga at the weekend and to Viktoria Plzen in their Europa League last round. As a matter of fact, they have lost 5 of their last 8 games on the road and they have not netted a goal in 3 of those games.

Arsenal vs CSKA Moscow Match Preview, Match Prediction and Betting Tips

Arsenal have struggled for much of this season, but this competition offers them an opportunity to make it a good ending if they can win and qualifying for the Champions League like Manchester United did last season. The North Londoners have enjoyed some good form recently and they were in total control in their Premier League game against Stoke City at the weekend where they emerged 3-0 victors. The return to Alexandre Lacazette is also a major boost for them ahead of this game especially after he marked his return with a goal for the Gunners. That win over the Potters makes it 4 wins from the same number of games including their impressive two-legged win over Milan in the Europa League last round, even more impressively they have netted 11 times in those matches, conceding just once. That defensive solidity could help them win this competition. CSKA Moscow are not one of the biggest teams still in the competition but they are not to be underrated as they showed in the last round against Lyon. They trailed the French side from the first leg 0-1, but they produced a very inspiring performance to win 3-2 at Lyon in the return leg. They are in good form at the moment as they have won 6 of their last 7 games in all competitions.

RB Leipzig vs Marseille Match Preview, Football Prediction and Betting Tips

Despite being European debutants, RB Leipzig are having a good campaign in the continent and they seem as though they can go all the way to the final of this season’s Europa League game. Although they are not very loved in Germany, they have gathered some support around the globe for their style of play and talented players. They battled to a 3-2 win over Hannover at the weekend to leave themselves 4th on the Bundesliga table and unbeaten in their last 6  competitive games. They exited the Champions League at the group stage, but they have managed to eliminate Napoli and Zenith Saint Petersburg in the Europa League to get here. Marseille were runners-up in their Europa League group and they have followed that up by eliminating Braga (3-1) and securing a 5-2 aggregate win over Athletic Bilbao to get to this stage. Their 3-1 win over Dijon at the weekend was their 4th win in their last 5 domestic games, but they have been struggling shut out teams, with no clean sheets since mid-February. With these two teams struggling to keep clean sheets, these game could see a lot of goals scored by both teams.
