Manchester City join race for highly sought-after Fulham youngster

Manchester City have become the latest team to show an interest in signing Fulham’s youngster, Ryan Sessegnon as the 17 years old continues to shine in the Championship. Sessegnon broke unto the scene as a 16 years old last season and had plenty admirers, but Fulham were able to convince him that remaining with them was the best option for his career and he signed a professional deal with them. He has gone on to show this season that he is not a one-season wonder and has already reached double figures for goals. His form has attracted the interest of Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid, but Sun Sport is claiming that Manchester City have become the latest team to show interest in his signature and they hope to steal him from under the noses of their rivals.

Argentinos Juniors vs Boca Juniors Match Preview, Soccer Predictions, and Betting Tips

This clash is between two of Diego Maradona’s first teams and they are both missing some key players ahead of this clash, but who would cope better? These two teams have a strong rivalry and the home crowd would still remember Carlos Tevez’s horrific tackle on Ezequiel Ham in 2015, and although the former Manchester City star would not play in this game, the home fans would be cheering their team to achieve an unlikely win here. Their bid to cause an upset in this game has not been helped by the fact that Leonardo Pisculichi and Lucas Barrios out injured and El Bicho is in one of the poorest form of his career. They have won none of their last 3 games, scoring in only of those matches. Boca Juniors are in top form as they march towards another league win this season.

PSG vs Real Madrid Match Preview, Match Predictions, and Betting Tips

Many expected Real Madrid to fall to a defeat at the hands of PSG in the first leg of this game, but the French side failed to capitalise on taking the lead and they lost the game 3-1. They now face a major hurdle in trying to eliminate Madrid in this round. Their chances of winning this game has dropped significantly after Neymar sustained an injury that would keep him out for at least two months and Kylian Mbappe is a doubt to start this match. However, PSG have so much depth in attack and they rested Edison Cavani at the weekend. Di Maria is also on form and netted in their last game, he could be the difference between winning and losing for them here. They have won 9 of their last 10 games and have scored 5 goals in their last two games. Real Madrid are looking like they could retain this Champions League crown for the 3rd consecutive season as their form in all competitions has improved.

LIverpool vs FC Porto Match Preview, Football Predictions, and Betting Tips

Liverpool have almost confirmed their place in the next round of the Champions League after they won the first leg of this round of 16 match 0-5 in Portugal. The Reds have been in outstanding form recently and their 2-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday was their 5th win in their last 6 games in which they have scored 18 goals. They head to Old Trafford at the weekend as they look to take over the 2nd position from Manchester United, so Jurgen Klopp could rest some of his star men in this game and give opportunities to the likes of Adam Lallana and Nathaniel Clyne. Porto are also not a bad side as the first leg’s results would suggest as they have gone on to win their next 4 games since the loss to Liverpool, scoring 15 times in the process. They face a major hurdle in their bid to beat Liverpool in this game as they have not been fantastic in Europe away from home. They conceded 3 goals at Liepzig in the group stages and have won only 1 of their last 5 away games in the competition. With Liverpool scoring at will, this game looks likely to end in another home win for the Reds even if Klopp rests his star men.

Liverpool Vs Newcastle Soccer Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Preview

Liverpool have been characteristically inconsistent this season, but they have really hit top form in the last couple of matches. Since their shock FA Cup loss to West Brom, they have gone five games without tasting defeat, winning four. Their 4-1 win over West Ham the last time out made it 16 goals scored in their last 5 games including 5 away to FC Porto in the Champions League. This run of form has taken them to within 2 points of 2nd placed Manchester United and they face each other after this match. They have scored the second highest number of goals in the league (65), however, their defence has proven to be too generous at times and they have conceded more goals than any of the top five teams. Newcastle have been showing some attacking prowess in recent weeks and they netted 2 times at Bournemouth even though the game ended in a draw. They are unbeaten in their last 4 games and would be hoping to keep that record against the Reds here. They are currently 15th on the league table, 2 points off the relegation zone, but they have impressively scored in each of their last 7 league games. These teams have both won 2, drawn 3 and lost 2 of their last 7 seven matchups.
