Atlético Madrid vs Real Betis: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

April 2, 2023 No Comments

The La Liga top-four battle continues this weekend as Atletico Madrid battle Real Betis for three points at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium. The hosts are in command of the race behind Barcelona and Real Madrid, having taken at least three more points than the chasing pack. They will open up a nine-point cushion inside La Liga’s top-four if they can notch up a fourth successive win against fellow Champions League hopefuls Real Betis. Read more: Napoli vs AC Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Diego Simeone has never failed to lead the Rojiblancos there in ten previous full seasons at the helm, and with just one loss in 12 La Liga games, their place amongst Europe’s elite looks safe once again. With the Argentine’s charges also netting nine goals across their last two home matches alone, it isn’t easy to see past yet another win for them. Real Betis will be desperate to make it two wins in two games when they travel to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday. The visitors beat Mallorca 1-0 just before the international break to ensure they remained in the top-four race. The win ended a run of four games without a win for the Verdiblancos, who are now free from Europa League distractions, having been eased out by Manchester United just before the international break. With that behind them, the focus will be on getting into the top four. With Betis going unbeaten in four La Liga road trips ahead of kick-off (W3, D1), they will fancy their chances of getting a result in the capital. However, Betis’ appalling record against squads led by Diego Simeone (W1, D5, L16) is hard to ignore. Much of that can be attributed to nine blanks across Betis’ ten prior away H2Hs against Atlético in the Simeone era, hinting at an unhappy start to April. Click here for 100 Percent winning tips.

Napoli vs AC Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

April 2, 2023 No Comments

Serie A top four hopefuls AC Milan will travel to Naples this Sunday to face run-away league leaders Napoli. The hosts are cruising to their first Scudetto since the 1990 season, thanks to a return of 23 league wins and just two losses (D2) in 27 games. A club-record 71 points from those first 27 Serie A games has given the hosts an almost insurmountable 19-point lead atop the table, prompting talks of Napoli being ‘champions-elect’. Read more: West Ham vs Southampton: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Coach Luciano Spalletti has been the architect of this campaign. The Italian will be desperate to extend his remarkable work at the Naples-based side in the Champions League too. His side’s meeting with Milan on Sunday is the first of three H2H meetings over 17 days, with both sides set to meet in the Champions League quarter-finals next week. A win here could tell what will happen in that game. Napoli will be confident of winning here, though, as they have enjoyed great success at home this season. Only Lazio have taken points from Napoli across their last eleven Serie A home games (W10, L1). So a return to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona reinforces their credentials in this match. However, AC Milan will be mildly confident of getting a result, given that they have won the last two head-to-head meetings between both sides. But their form just before the international break doesn’t inspire confidence, with the San Siro side winless in their last four competitive games (D2, L2). They’ve won just three of their last eleven games (D3, L5), which not only dumped them out of the title race but also put their participation in next season’s UCL at risk. Manager Stefano Pioli tried to boost morale by stating, “nobody is perfect or unbeatable,” as he plots to avenge a 2-1 loss in the reverse fixture. However, his biggest hurdle looks to be his side’s wretched away form, with the Rossoneri losing four of their last five Serie A road trips (W1). Ten goals conceded during those defeats is a stark reminder of their defensive frailties, as only relegation-battling Cremonese have conceded more goals than Milan. With Napoli scoring for fun, another high-scoring game with over 2.5 goals could be on the cards.

West Ham vs Southampton: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

April 2, 2023 No Comments

The fight for Premier League survival enters its final stretch, with West Ham and Southampton meeting at the London Stadium for another cracking game. Both sides are desperate to find form following the international break. However, West Ham are the side more desperate for a win, primarily as the future of their manager David Moyes reportedly rests on results from this game. The former Everton and Man United boss could be relieved of his duties if he loses here. So a tense encounter could ensue, particularly as West Ham lost this game 3-2 last term. Read more: Newcastle vs Manchester United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Another high-scoring encounter could follow because the Hammers have kept just four home PL clean sheets this term. Furthermore, at least three goals have been scored in ten of the last H2H hosted by West Ham (W7, L3). That said, the Hammers are unbeaten in four league games here (W2, D2), suggesting the international break perhaps came at a bad time for them as far as their home form is concerned. Southampton will hold similar feelings, having collected as many points since sacking Nathan Jones six PL games ago (eight) than in the 17 games prior, as they desperately fight to keep in touch at the foot of the table. Following their battling 3-3 draw with Tottenham, in which the Saints battled back from 3-1 down, manager Rubén Sellés said, “the players want to fight for each other, and I’m very proud of it.” Selles will hope that his side can produce another battling performance in London that could see them move out of the bottom of the table. They will fancy their chances, though, considering they have won twice as many league away games as home ones this term (W4, D1, L9). Also, given that three of their away league victories this term came against sides that start the round inside the bottom six, all by a one-goal margin, the Saints appear well prepared to march into battle again. That said, this game will likely feature over 2.5 goals.

Newcastle vs Manchester United: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

April 2, 2023 No Comments

Manchester United will look to strengthen their grip on third position when they travel to St James Park this Sunday to play fellow top-four hopefuls Newcastle United. The Magpies are contesting for a place in the top four this season, with their brilliant recruitment and management driving them towards their first appearance in the Champions League since the 2002/03 season. They kept their quest on course just before the international break, with a pair of 2-1 wins over Wolves and Nottingham Forest, ensuring they remain within the distance of fourth-placed Tottenham. Read more: Inter Milan vs Fiorentina: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Even better is that Eddie Howe’s side come into this tie sitting just two points behind Spurs, with two games in hand. So a win here will take them above the North London club, who don’t play until Monday. A win here will also put them level on points with Manchester United, who are just three points ahead. Having lost the Carabao Cup to the Red Devils in February, they will be desperate to exact revenge on them here. St. James’ Park is the perfect place to achieve that, given that they have lost just one PL game here all season (W7, D5, L1). In addition, United wouldn’t want to drop points here, given the tight fight with Tottenham and Newcastle for the top four. The Red Devils signed off for the international break in style by cruising into the FA Cup semi-final thanks to a 3-1 win over an ill-disciplined Fulham side. With the season now in its final stretch, the goal for teams is to pick up as many points as possible in each game. It’s no different for Manchester United, who can still win three trophies this season, having already secured the Carabao Cup and qualified for the last eight of the Europa League and FA Cup last four. However, the visitors had failed to score in back-to-back PL games and the reverse H2H (0-0). So they will have to be at their clinical best to win here and keep their top-four destiny intact. Rediscovering their scoring form will be crucial to any United success, as only relegation-threatened Leicester, Nottingham, and Bournemouth have conceded more away league goals ahead of this round than United’s 27.Click here to get the best prediction for the game.

Inter Milan vs Fiorentina: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

April 1, 2023 No Comments

Serie A returns this weekend with Inter Milan playing host to Fiorentina for the 28th Round of the 2022/23 season. The San Siro side are looking to get back to form after a return of just three points in four games has put the job of head coach Simon Inzaghi in perspective (W1, D3). The most recent of those losses was a 1-0 defeat against fierce rivals Juventus, which saw Inter Milan lose twice to the Bianconeri without scoring in a single Serie A season for the first time since 1976/77. The defeat was also the ninth defeat for the Nerazzurri in the season’s Serie A– a fate they have suffered after the opening 27 rounds just once this century. Read more: Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Having survived the international break, Inzaghi will probably end the season at Inter. But with his side just three points ahead of fifth-placed AS Roma in the top-four race, the former Lazio manager will know that he cannot afford his side to drop further points. However, Inter will fancy their chances against a Fiorentina side they beat in five of the last six H2Hs (D1). Yet, the visitors were the most in-form team in Italy just before the international break, with their 13 points from five games (W4, D1) only matched by Lazio. It even gets better when you factor in other competitions for Fiorentina, who will travel to Milan on a seven-game winning run in all competitions. That run has seen them qualify for the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-finals and move back to the top half of the standings for the first time since mid-January. Consequently, they started this round only four points away from seventh spot (and the potential European place that may come with it). That aforementioned run also consisted of consecutive clean-sheet away league victories which saw Fiorentina net five goals combined in those appearances. That offers us a glimpse that this game could go either way. However, a potential ‘over 2.5 goals’ game is more likely. Click here to get correct score tips daily.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

April 1, 2023 No Comments

Bayern Munich will look to begin life under Thomas Tuchel with a bang when they welcome fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund to the Allianz Arena this Saturday for the second Bundesliga Der Klassiker of the season. Tuchel replaced Julian Nagelsmann, who was sacked last week after a return of five wins from ten Bundesliga games in 2023. The poor return of points has seen the Bavarians relinquish the top spot to Dortmund, with their most recent 2-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen placing them one point behind the visitors. Read more: Chelsea vs Aston Villa: Preview and Expert Football Prediction After his unveiling, Tuchel proclaimed that he wants to win “all the titles”, as Bayern are still in the battle to lift a Bundesliga, Champions League and DfB Pokal treble. But any hopes of doing so will be hinged mainly on how he performs in this first game against his former club. Bayern’s current 52-point haul is their worst return at this stage of a Bundesliga season since they last failed to lift the famous trophy in 2011/12. Should they lose here, they will end the weekend four points behind Dortmund. While Bayern wilted in 2023, the visitors have enjoyed a remarkable run of form in 2023. They remain unbeaten in the league this year, with their only blip coming in a 2-2 draw against fierce local rivals Schalke 04. Having won eleven of their last 13 games in all competitions, they will bear no fear on this trip to Munich. A 6-1 win over Cologne just before the international break should also be give them much-needed inspiration. However, they’ve lost their last eight Bundesliga trips to the Allianz Arena. Yet, Dortmund boss Edin Terzić has been boosted by the return of key players such as Julian Brandt and Youssoufa Moukoko from injury and will “travel to Munich with confidence and a full squad”. Meanwhile, an incredible 346 goals have been scored across the 107 Bundesliga Der Klassikers; that’s 3.28 goals per match on average. So an ‘over 2.5 goals’ prediction will be a good bet.

Chelsea vs Aston Villa: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

April 1, 2023 No Comments

After two weeks without football, Chelsea return to Premier League action this Saturday as they welcome Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge. The Blues will be desperate to return to winning ways after a disappointing 2-2 draw with a struggling Everton side marked their last game before the international break. The result ended a run of three consecutive wins for Graham Potter’s side, who are still battling to play Champions League football next season. But with each loss, the Blues find themselves further away from their quest. They currently sit in tenth position, eleven points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, having played a game less. Read more: Manchester City vs Liverpool: Preview and Expert Football Prediction However, the injury-ravaged London side could now be without as many as five regular starters for the visit of Aston Villa, a side Chelsea have beaten in nine of the last eleven Premier League H2Hs (D1, L1). Potter’s side would dearly love to extend that run with another victory, but having won just three of their last nine PL home games (D3, L3), Stamford Bridge isn’t the impenetrable fortress it once was. It certainly isn’t the premier spot if entertainment is what fans want, with the stadium producing the fewest total goals (26) of any PL ground this season. Meanwhile, Villa will come to Stamford Bridge confidently after going undefeated in their last four PL games (W3, D1). If Chelsea can still dream of a top-four finish, the visitors have every right to do the same, given that they are sitting just behind their hosts in eleventh position, with the same number of points on the table. However, Unai Emery will be more concerned about finishing strong, as his initial objective was avoiding relegation. But a win here will take them into the top half of the table and possibly shift their target for the season to breaking into the top seven and securing a place in Europe next season. However, considering they’ve lost on six of their last seven PL visits to Stamford Bridge, they may be playing catch-up again come the close of play on Saturday. Meanwhile, Stamford Bridge is the only ground not to have seen a goal scored in the opening 15 minutes of a PL game this season. So we can expect a game of few goals. The best bet, therefore, will be under 2.5 goals. Click here to get expert football predictions.

Manchester City vs Liverpool: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

April 1, 2023 No Comments

Premier League returns this weekend with the biggest clash of the weekend, featuring Manchester City and Liverpool. Both teams will renew their rivalry this Saturday at the Etihad for the 29th Round game of the 2022/23 Premier League season. Unlike in recent seasons, where games between the pair were title deciders, this weekend’s fixture features two teams on the opposite side of the form table. While Manchester City are flying courtesy of a run of six consecutive wins and ten games without defeat (W8, D2), Liverpool are winless and scoreless in two games (L2). Read more: Marseille vs Montpellier: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Pep Guardiola’s men kept their quest for their seventh Premier League crown alive just before the break with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in their last league outing. The win over the Eagles was followed by two massive Champions League and FA Cup wins, which came by a combined 13-0 scoreline. One individual, Erling Haaland, scored eight out of those 13 goals. However, the Norwegian is unlikely to feature in this game, giving Liverpool a significant boost. But having fallen eight points behind Arsenal in the title race, City need little reminding that this game is a must-win if they want to keep their quest for the title alive. Meanwhile, not only does the likley absence of Haaland help Liverpool, the return of attacker Luis Diaz after five months of injury will also be a morale boost for Jurgen Klopp’s side, who will be desperate to get back to winning ways and rekindling their fading top-four hopes. The Reds went into the international break in a dour mood, losing their last two games against relegation-threatened Bournemouth and Real Madrid before the hiatus. With nothing left to play for than the top-four this season, Klopp will hope that his boys will give their very best in this game against a team they have beaten just once in their last 13 PL matches at the Etihad (D5, L7). Meanwhile, Man City’s run of eight consecutive wins at home ahead of this game puts them as clear favourites for a win here. Click here to get expert football predictions.
