The 76ers who were on a four-game winning streak sadly lost 137-134 at home against Denver, at Philadelphia. The team will again be playing without Joel Embiid (left knee), Paul George(left finger), KJ Martin(left foot), and Jared McCain(left knee), who have all been reported injured and have missed on the court this season. Betting On The Celtics The Celtics have been one of the hottest teams this season. They have won five of seven games(two in a row), including their last win 118-116 against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.

Manchester City approach FC Porto’s Nico González

Manchester City have made a formal late approach for FC Porto midfielder Nico González. But, the Premier League side does not want to trigger his release clause of €60 and will want to reduce his value.  Nico González graduated from La Masia and moved to FC Porto in the summer of 2023. Since then, the has improved his game and solidified himself as a valued member of the club, garnering attention from all over the world.  González is enjoying a fantastic season so far as he has already scored seven goals and delivered six assists in 29 matches. He averages 1.5 shots, 0.8 key passes, and 0.8 dribbles per game.  The midfielder playes a dynamic role in the midfield. He is renowned for his strategic passes and aerial presence. González is good with ball possession, makes good decisins, and has potent dribbling skills.  Manchester City have signed some remarkable talents in the winter window, but they don’t plan on stopping soon. In Rodri’s absence, their midfield is a bit weak and may need to be strengthened.  While González isn’t the perfect substitute for Rodri, his versatility and qualities can be useful. He brings various elements to Porto and can be a long-term investment for City.  Nico has one year and half left on his current contract with a release clause of €60 million. The Citizens do not want to trigger that price and will only take him if Porto can negotiate. If this happens, Porto might want to keep him as 40 percent of the price will be given to Barcelona.

Football Predictions Today: Estrela VS Benfica Sure Tips

Round 20 of the 2024/25 Primeira Liga season will feature Estrela VS Benfica playing at the Estadio Jose Gomes.  MatchPlug has the Football prediction, picks, and odds for Estrela VS Benfica. We are one of the Best sports betting sites to find accurate Primeira Liga previews. Predictions and Betting Preview For Estrela VS Benfica  Odds provided by 1XBet. Betting On Estrela Estrela finished last year’s contest in 12th position in the table, with 16 points from 16 games, but they have struggled since the start of 2025. The hosts have endured a tough start to the year, failing to win in four top-flight matches and are now heading towards a winless run to five games for the first time since September 2024. Their form has stopped them from advancing to the top of the standings, sending them into the relegation zone.  Although, despite Estrela’s struggles at home, only five clubs in the whole Primeira Liga have won more matches than them at home, 14 of their total 17 points were at Jose Gomes. Ahead of this match, they’ll prepare for a positive outcome, given Benfica’s recent away results. But, a loss could put them in the bottom two if SC Farense wins Sporting Lisbon this weekend.  Betting On Benfica Benfica lost their last league appearance at the Estadio Municipal, taking a shocking 3-1 loss from Casa Pia, who are aiming for an European football ticket for next season. With 41 points recorded and only six points behind Sporting Lisbon at the top of the standings, the guests will desperately need a victory, as they hope to stop their losing run.  Having lost their last two away matches, another loss this weekend will make it three losses away from home for Benfica, for the first time since September 2010. Regardless, the visitors have always had remarkable visits to Estrela, with a 4-1 victory in a similar fixture last season. They have already defeated the hosts 7-0 this season in a cup game at Estadio da Luz.  MatchPlug Prediction For Estrela VS Benfica Estrela have fared well at home for most of the term, but their form at home have been saddled with two straight losses. Benfica have been superior in fixtures between both clubs, and while they have had some setbacks on the road recently, the club still has some quality players that could subdue the hosts on Sunday.  Final Prediction: Benfica Moneyline.
