Paris Saint-Germain vs Rennes MatchPlug Match Preview Soccer Prediction and Betting Tips

This would be the first game that PSG would play without Neymar as the Brazilian begins a spell on the sidelines yet again. Neymar left the pitch in tears having injured himself against Strasbourg last week. The Brazilian was accused of showboating by their opponents in that game and was at the end of some dangerous challenges, but his injury came solely from him kicking the pitch. It would be interesting to see how the French champions fair without him as they go chasing their 11th consecutive home win in the league this season. This game is traditionally one of the toughest for PSG as Rennes tend to know how to get results when they visit the French champions. The last seven games between these sides have all ended in away wins, however, PSG have had to visit Rennes in six of those games. The visitors come here having won 3 of their last 6 league visits to the Parc des Princes, including the last in May last year.

The host were on a good run of form before playing two matchdays back as they had won 4 of 5 games.

Western Sydney Wanderers are on an awful run of form ahead of this game as they have lost six of their last seven games and come here on a run of five consecutive defeats. This terrible run of form has seen them collect just 9 points from 14 games this season and their fans would only hope that they can keep things tighter at the back for this game as they have conceded 15 goals in their last 6 games.

FC Porto currently lead the Portuguese league table and look set to win the title again this year, but Benfica who just fired their manager would be looking to stop them from winning the league and Cup double by the end of this season.

FC Porto collected the league title from the hands of Benfica last season and they look to have kept their momentum going into this season, winning the Super Cup within the last 12 months as well.

AS Nancy vs EA Guingamp Match Preview Soccer Prediction and Betting Tips

EA Guingamp come into this week after what is arguably the most difficult weekend of their careers. They had beaten PSG 2-1 in the French Cup just a week back, but their return to the venue of their biggest result this season was a more terrible one. They were beaten 9-0 by Thomas Tuchel’s men as Neymar and Co. took their time to exert revenge on the 2014 French Cup winners. That result ended a good spell of 4 wins in 6 games for Guingamp and their confidence must have taken a big hit ahead of this game. They has just 2 shots on target and faced 12 shots on target in that game, but they would feel this game would not come with so much work like the weekend’s. Their opponent are also having a bad season in the French second tier. Nancy are bottom of Ligue 2 and come into this game on the back of two consecutive losses. In those losses, they showed signs of improvement though and their fans would be hoping that they can keep that up when they  host this struggling Ligue 1 bottom side. These teams have only faced off twice since 2005 with Guingamp winning both clashes, 2-0 in 2016 and 1-0 in 2017.

Real Madrid vs Sevilla MatchPlug Match Preview Soccer Prediction and Betting Tips

Real Madrid were beaten 1-0 by Leganes in their last competitive game in the Copa del Rey, although they still made it to the next round, that loss ended their two games winning streak and they would be looking to bounce back in this game. Los Blancos did beat Real Betis away from home in their last league game, thanks to a late strike from Dani Cabellos, but Sevilla are a different opponent in terms of quality and it would a more demanding game for them in this fixture. Sevilla have also been very inconsistent this season. They topped the La Liga table at some point during the first half of the season but their 2019 haven’t gotten off to the right start so far. They started the year with a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid before going on to play Athletic Bilbao 3 times and losing twice, only narrowly qualifying for the next round of the Copa del Rey. Their fans would be eager to see their side return to winning ways here and it would be a tough task but not so unthinkable giving Madrid’s inconsistent form.

Arsenal vs Chelsea MatchPlug Match Preview Soccer Prediction and Betting Tips

Arsenal come into this game looking to close the gap on the top four having fallen 6 points adrift of the 4th position. Interestingly they play Chelsea who are currently 4th, if they lose this game, they would be in for a tough time ending the season inside the top four and may even start the new week outside the top 5 should Manchester United win. The Gunners have played well when they play at home recently with their last two games there ending in wins over Burnley and Fulham. They scored 7 goals in those games and conceded just 2 times, Unai Emery would be hoping for more of the same but Chelsea are of a different quality to the above opponents.
