PSG target exciting Crystal Palace winger as Lionel Messi’s replacement

May 8, 2023 No Comments

Paris Saint-Germain reportedly wants to sign Michael Olise once they confirm Lionel Messi’s departure this summer. The Crystal Palace winger has been the talk of the town all season after his impressive showings for the Eagles, which has propelled them to Premier League safety. And now, according to reports by Daily Mail, PSG want him to spearhead their attack next season alongside Kylian Mbappe once they confirm Messi’s departure. Read more: Arsenal revives interest in Wolves speed star The Argentina international is thought to be on his way out of the club after failing to agree to a contract extension. Barcelona and Saudi Arabia side Al-Hilal are the rumoured destinations, but nothing has yet been confirmed. However, Messi’s departure means that PSG will at least have an extra £740,000 a week in loose change to spend. The Parisians are also looking to offload Neymar in an effort to reconnect with their fanbase and recruit young French players, of which Olise fits the bill. PSG also want a centre-back, a holding midfielder, a striker and two wingers this summer. Palace would not want to lose Olise, particularly with Wilfried Zaha also expected to go. But they are prepared for the worst and have been busy trying to seal the deal for Flamengo’s 19-year-old Matheus Franca over the past month. The Brazilian is seen as the ideal replacement should Zaha and Olise leave.

Brighton vs Everton: Preview and Expert Prediction

May 7, 2023 No Comments

Brighton will look to continue their remarkable run of form when they welcome Everton to Amex Stadium this Monday. The Seagulls kept their European hopes alive last Thursday night courtesy of a 1-0 win over top-four chasing Manchester United. They secured the win after scoring a dramatic 99th-minute winner from the penalty spot by Alexis Mac Allister. The win ensured they came into the round sitting in sixth position, with the advantage of having crucial games in hand over most teams around them. As such, their destiny is firmly in their own hands. Roberto De Zerbi’s side will be glad to see Everton as the next visitors to Amex Stadium, as they’ve thrived at home in games against struggling opponents. The hosts have avoided defeat in all eight of their home Premier League games against any team coming into the round inside the bottom ten (W7, D1). Read more: Nottingham Forest vs Southampton: Preview and Expert Prediction They kept a clean sheet in six of those games and will fancy their chances of another clan sheet here, as only Brentford have managed to breach their goal in any home league game since the start of March. Everton is the worst team to try to break down this stubborn Brighton defence, as the goal-shy Toffees are the lowest-scoring side in the Premier League. Sean Dyche’s side have scored just 27 goals in the PL this season, with only four sides from Europe’s big-five leagues scoring fewer ahead of this round. However, they have scored exactly twice in three of their last five away matches, including last Monday night, where they put in a dominant attacking display against relegation rivals Leicester City. But their 23 goal attempts were ultimately in vain as they were denied by a man-of-the-match display from Foxes’ goalkeeper Daniel Iversen. Dyche said his side “didn’t get the full reward in terms of the three points” but insisted the performance did increase his side’s “feel-good factor”. The former Burnley coach will hope that performance against the Foxes can help inspire his players to finally end a poor run of 13 away games without a win in the league(D6, L7). If the players require further inspiration, their manager’s record of having never tasted defeat in five away league games against Brighton could provide it (W2, D3). And the fact that Brighton have won just one of their 12 Premier League games played on a Monday (D8, L3) could also boost Everton’s morale here. Click here to get correct score predictions.

Nottingham Forest vs Southampton: Preview and Expert Prediction

May 7, 2023 No Comments

Premier League continues on Monday with a huge relegation battle to ensue at City Ground, where bottom-placed Southampton face fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest. Forest comes into this tie in a relatively better shape, having won at least one of their last five league games (L4), unlike their visitors, who are winless in nine games (D3, L3) and sit at the foot of the pile. They also sit six points ahead of the Saints, having won one game more. However, the hosts’ solitary win in 13 games has not helped them much, as they remain in the relegation zone ahead of this game. Steve Cooper’s side is sitting level on points with Leicester and Leeds United but has a worse goal difference. Read more: West Ham United vs Manchester United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction This is primarily due to their porous defence that has conceded 62 goals this season, with only Bournemouth (64) and Leeds United (69) the side with the most goals conceded in this Premier League campaign. But ahead of this game, Forest have the opportunity to close the gap to safety by completing the first top-flight league double over their visitors since 1995/96, having won 1-0 at St Mary’s in the reverse fixture. But Southampton will look to ensure that does not happen when they visit City Ground. The Saints may be at the bottom of the table with four games to play, but they will consider themselves a quality side given how tough they could be to break down on their day. Yet they are the second-lowest scoring side in the league with 28 goals, while they are also one of the four PL sides conceding 60+ goals this season. That makes this trip more tricky for the Saints as Forest have kept clean sheets in three of their four home games against sides ranked 15th or worse (W3, D1). Yet, they will be desperate for some joy and to end a run of nine games without a win (D3, L6). But their away form across their last eight trips doesn’t inspire confidence (W1, D2, L5), while their record on Monday night football is also a cause for concern as the Saints have lost each of their last three PL games to be played on this weekday. But Forest are also winless in their last 12 PL games played on Mondays (D7, L5), despite getting on the scoresheet in seven of the previous eight. Therefore, this game has the markings of a dead rubber classic with few goals scored. That said, an under 1.5 goals bet could be the best prediction here, while a mixed chance bet would also not be out of place. Click here to get the best soccer prediction tips today.

West Ham United vs Manchester United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

May 7, 2023 No Comments

West Ham will look to end a poor run of form this Sunday when they welcome Manchester United to London Stadium. The hosts still look over their shoulders in the relegation fight despite having just four league games to save their Premier League season. This is courtesy of a run of three consecutive league defeats against Liverpool (2-1), Crystal Palace (4-3) and Manchester City (3-0) that has left them sitting just four points above the bottom three ahead of this round of games. They now face another top-six club, hoping to end their run of three straight defeats and go close to the 40-point mark that guarantees survival. Manager David Moyes will also be desperate to end his side’s three-game winless run of league games at the London Stadium (D1, L2). However, facing his former club isn’t usually something to look forward to for the manager who’s won just five of his 36 personal H2Hs (D7, L24), including seven defeats from eight in charge of West Ham. Meanwhile, Manchester United will look to get back to winning ways when they travel to London on Sunday. The Red Devils’ quest for a top-four finish took a big hit in their last outing as they narrowly lost to Brighton (1-0 away from home). Read more: AC Milan vs Lazio: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The loss ended a run of five league games without defeat for Erik ten Hag’s men and placed them just four points ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool, who have found renewed hope in the race for the top four. Despite this, United’s top-four destiny remains in their hands as they have a game in hand over their Merseyside rivals. But, their away form threatens to undo their good work this season, with Ten Hag’s men earning just 24 of their 63 PL points away from Old Trafford. They have collected just one win from their last five away games in the league (D1, L3). This has been partly caused by a porous defence which has conceded 80% of their PL goals on the road. However, their attack is also partly to blame as Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are leading an attack that has scored the fewest goals of any side starting the round in the top seven (49) but also hasn’t helped. But facing West Ham should inspire confidence, given the Red Devils’ dominant overall head-to-head record in the PL era (W33, D13, L7). Meanwhile, West Ham have seen 15 of the 23 PL goals they’ve conceded at home this season arrive before half-time. So, we reckon that a first-half goal prediction is the best for this game.

Bayern Munich make Manchester United target their TOP SUMMER target

May 7, 2023 No Comments

Bayern Munich have reportedly made Manchester United target Randal Kolo Muani one of the players they are desperate to sign this summer. The Bavarians are keen on adding an extra attacker to their ranks after struggling to replace Robert Lewandowski this season. The Polish attacker departed for Camp Nou last summer, and the club signed Sadio Mane from Liverpool as his replacement in attack. But the Senegal international has been largely unsuccessful in his bid to replace Lewandoski and could be sold this summer after falling out with the club. Read more: Liverpool make Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister the Primary target for midfield rebuild So the Bundesliga club are looking to sign a new attacker this summer as they plan for an overhaul in that department. Names like Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen have been linked with a move. However, according to Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, French attacker Randal Kolo Muani is ahead of the duo on the list of priorities for Bayern Munich this summer. As per the report, the first round of talks has already occurred between the player’s party and Bayern. The Eintracht Frankfurt striker is one of Europe’s most sought-after players this season after a blistering season with the German club. The 224-year-old has scored 21 goals and provided 42 assists in 42 appearances this summer. Frankfurt values him at €65million and considers themselves in a strong bidding position given that he has a long contract expiring in 2027.

Newcastle vs Arsenal: Preview and Expert Prediction

May 7, 2023 No Comments

Newcastle United and Arsenal will battle for three points this Sunday, with both sides looking for the win to keep them on track for their respective quests. Newcastle are looking to finish in the top four this season after a decade of absence from European football. And with five games to go, the Magpies are near their aim, so they will be desperate to win here. Eddie Howe’s side come into this tie on the back of an impressive eight wins from nine Premier League games (L1). That run includes a 6-1 home demolition of Arsenal’s North London rivals, Tottenham, at this stadium. So they will want to win again at St. James’ Park and extend their four straight league wins at home. They will also fancy their chances of getting maximum points given their home form. Read more: West Ham United vs Manchester United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction The hosts have lost just once at home this season (W10, L5), while the eleven goals they have conceded on this ground is the second-fewest in the league. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s goal for the season remains to win the Premier League title despite their late collapse. Although the Gunners have relinquished the top spot to Pep Guardiola’s relentless Manchester City side, they remain hopeful of winning the title. Mikel Arteta’s side bounced back from a run of four games without a win last time out when they beat Chelsea 3-1 at home. They will now travel to Tyneside looking to record back-to-back league wins for the first time since April and to keep themselves one point behind City at the top of the table. Meanwhile, No side has kept more PL away clean sheets than Arsenal’s nine this season – almost twice as many as any other side. Given their clean sheet record away from home and Newcastle’s strength at the back, this will likely be a low-scoring affair. So we suggest a bet of under 2.5 goals.

AC Milan vs Lazio: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

May 6, 2023 No Comments

Serie A second-best side Lazio will look to keep their status as the best of the rest this Saturday when they travel to the San Siro to play top-four hopefuls AC Milan. Milan are one of the six teams battling for the remaining three positions in the top four behind Napoli. Back-to-back home matches seemed like a good opportunity for them to climb up the table in their quest for a top-four finish, but a surprising 1-1 draw against Cremonese dented those hopes. That result served as their fourth stalemate in five league outings (W1), leaving them two points behind fourth-placed Inter ahead of this round. Read more: Lens vs Marseille: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Despite those draws, Milan have won five of their last eight competitive home matches (D3) and will hope a swift return home to face Lazio can start their final push here, considering they won three of their four home Serie A outings against sides currently above them in the table (L1). Still, the threat of another stalemate looms as Milan is one of three teams in the top-five European leagues to have recorded nine draws in 2023. Meanwhile, Lazio will travel to San Siro for the second time in eight days looking to record back-to-back league wins after back-to-back defeats before their last outing. Maurizio Sarri’s side comes into this tie on the back of a 2-0 win over Sassuolo. That win helped them maintain the dream of a second-placed finish alive, though they now face fierce competition from Juventus for that spot. Despite being the joint-second-best away team in Serie A this season (W9, D4, L3), two of Lazio’sLazio’s three away league defeats came against fellow Champions League hopefuls Juventus and Inter. Those games were responsible for 60% of Lazio’sLazio’s ten away Serie A goals conceded this term. That record could also get worse, given the visitors have lost each of their last three away H2Hs against Milan, conceding nine goals in the process. Meanwhile, four of the last six head-to-head meetings between both sides have scored a goal inside the opening ten minutes. So a first-half goal prediction will be good for this game.

Lens vs Marseille: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

May 6, 2023 No Comments

Ligue 1 resumes this Saturday with second and third-placed sides Marseille and Lens battling for a place behind Paris Saint-Germain. The hosts come into this tie sitting in third position, six points behind the Parisians. However, manager Franck Haise admitted his side made a “big push for the podium” after their 1-0 against Coupe de France winners Toulouse on Tuesday. That win was their sixth victory in seven Ligue 1 outings (L1) and extended their lead over fourth-placed Monaco to eight points with just five games remaining. They now battle it out here with another candidate for a UEFA Champions League placing in the shape of Marseille in what appears to be a crucial “six-pointer”, knowing that a win would take them above their opponents into the second spot. Read more: Liverpool vs Brentford: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Fans, therefore, may be dreaming of a first top-two finish in Ligue 1 since 2001/02, and the visit of Marseille should be good to weigh their progress after failing to win any of the previous four head-to-head meetings at Stade Bollaert-Delelis (D1, L3). Their home form could continue to be vital to stopping that run, considering they sit top of the Ligue 1 home standings (W14, D1, L1). Meanwhile, Marseille will look to narrow the gap between them and Paris Saint-Germain, albeit temporarily, when they travel to Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Saturday. The Olympians trail PSG by five points ahead of this round and could reduce the gap if they take maximum points here. They were on the cusp of suffering their first league loss in over two months last weekend, but two late strikes saved them from an embarrassing defeat against relegation-battling Auxerre (2-1). Igor Tudor’s men have showcased their ability to recover from poor starts, with their win against Auxerre contributing to the division’s best average point return (1.5) after conceding first this campaign (W5, D3, L4). That speaks volumes of the character within the group, and their impressive away form this campaign (W12, D3, L1) could be key to avoid suffering a first losing league double against Lens in over 20 years. Meanwhile, Lens’ Brice Samba has registered more clean sheets (14) in Ligue 1 this season than any other goalkeeper. So we can expect a tight affair here, with under 2.5 goals highly likely.

Liverpool vs Brentford: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

May 6, 2023 No Comments

Liverpool will look to continue their remarkable run of form this Saturday when they welcome Brentford to Anfield. The Reds have enjoyed a strong run in the past few matchdays, winning five in a row after their 1-0 win over Fulham in midweek. That win took them to fifth position in the league, four points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have played a game less. So there is still a remote chance they can finish in the top four places of the Premier League. Although Jurgen Klopp has played down that possibility, instead focusing on his side’sside’s winning run, he will quietly wish Manchester would keep dropping points. Read more: Manchester City vs Leeds United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction But to finish higher than they currently are, they will have to keep winning games and hope that something dramatic happens between now and the end of the season. As unlikely as that seems, Klopp’s men tend to excel as the season draws to a close, having won 12 of their last 13 games in May (D1). They’ll fancy their chances of getting all three more points here, given their impressive record across their last 40 PL matches at Anfield (W30, D9, L1). Meanwhile, Brentford come into this tie in decent shape, having won their last two games, including a 2-0 win over Chelsea. However, for this tie, they are underdogs as they’ve won only two of their 14 PL matches against sides in the top five when the Bees faced them (D5, L7). But they will be unafraid here, having beaten 3-1 in the reverse fixture. So there may be no better time for manager Thomas Frank to etch his name into the history books, as he could register only Brentford’sBrentford’s second-ever win at Anfield in eleven attempts (D2, L7) while completing their first-ever league double over the Reds. A point wouldn’t be a bad result for Brentford either, and considering they’ve drawn more PL matches this season than any other side (14), they could prove stubborn to break down.

Manchester City vs Leeds United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

May 6, 2023 No Comments

Leeds United will begin life after Javi Garcia this Saturday when they travel to the Etihad Stadium to face top-of-the-table Manchester City. The hosts welcome the struggling Elland Road outfit to the Etihad Stadium, looking for the three points that will keep them on course for their fifth title in the last six years. They come into this tie on the back of a 3-0 win over West Ham United–their ninth consecutive league win. The win also saw the mercurial striker make history as his 35th league goal of the league season makes him the player with the most goals in a single PL campaign. Having recorded their 14th straight win at the Etihad last time, they are favourites for another routine home win here. Read more: AC Milan vs Lazio: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Meanwhile, Sam Allardyce will look to kickstart his Leeds United reign with a rare win when he takes his side to the Etihad on Saturday. The veteran Englishman has been tasked with keeping the Yorkshire club in the Premier League with just four games to play. He has a reputation for firefighting and has come out gun blazing, claiming that he has the same level of experience as Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp. However, his record against the City boss does not inspire confidence ahead of this tie, as he has lost all four prior personal head-to-head meetings against Pep Guardiola. That record suggests that any personal ”redemption” will be delayed at best, especially with all those losses seeing his team at the time concede 3+ goals. Meanwhile, each of Leeds’ three most recent away defeats have seen them concede 2+ second-half goals. So we suggest a Goal First Half prediction here.
