Primera Division Liga MX Match Preview -Mazatlan FC vs Puebla

 

 

Pick:AH   Puebla(0) @1.95

 

Analysis:

Mazatlan FC will go head to head against Puebla on Saturday's Primera Division Liga.

 

Mazatlan FC

Mazatlan FC achieved a 2-0 away win against Juarez in last round. Brian Rubio netted a tap in and a curling shot for Mazatlan FC, in a match in which they were never truly tested. The club now have 18 points from an inconsistent and undisciplined league campaign. However, Mazatlan FC have an outside chance of making the reclassification round if they can claim all three points against Puebla.

 

Puebla

Puebla lost to Necaxa with 0:1 in last home game. It was an unlucky result for Puebla, who dominated possession and had eight shots on target compared to just one from Necaxa.

However, a goalkeeping error from Antony Silva allowed Milton Gimenez to score with a tap in. Puebla still have a strong chance of qualifying as one of the top four seeds for the playoffs but will need to tighten up defensively if they are to successfully challenge for the title this term.

 

Prediction:

Puebla won their past three league meetings against Mazatlan FC. So I go for Puebla in this clash.

 

Australia A-League Prediction - Melbourne Victory vs Wellington Phoenix

 

 

Pick:1x2    Melbourne Victory @1.60

 

Analysis:

The final round of Australia A-League is coming this week. Melbourne Victory will meet Wellington Phoenix at Olympic Park Stadium on Friday.

 

Melbourne Victory

They have been unbeaten for fourteen matches. Obviously they are preparing for the championship. In the last game, they tie with Brisbane Roar 1-1. In addition, they are good at home game, with 83% unbeaten rate.

 

Wellington Phoenix

They defeat Western Sydney 1-0 in the last game, returning to the winning way. They are weak in defence, with 1.8 conceding goals this season on average. How to improve it will be the point that they focus on next season.

 

Verdict:

There is gap between Melbourne Victory and Wellington Phoenix. Melbourne Victory have a home advantage. And Wellington Phoenix play poorly as visitors. So Melbourne Victory have the trend to win in the coming game.

 

 

J-League Division 1 Prediction- Jubilo Iwata vs Nagoya Grampus

 

 

Pick: OU   Over (2/2.5) @2.05

 

Analysis:

Jubilo Iwata will welcome Nagoya Grampus on Thursday's J-League Division 1.

 

Jubilo Iwata

Jubilo Iwata's performance since upgrade has been very mediocre. After 9 league games, the team has achieved 1 win, 5 draws and 3 losses, currently ranked 15th in the league. The 2-2 draw with Hiroshima Sanfrecce in last round is a pleasant surprise, and then tehy beat FC Tokyo on Cup to return to the winning track. Their morale has been improved. In addition, the team is better at home games. In the past ten home games, their unbeaten rate reached 80%.

 

Nagoya Grampus

Changing as a 3-5-2 formation, it is quite effective for Nagoya Grampus at present. The team has remained unbeaten in 3 consecutive games.

 

Prediction:

Both sides are in similar strength, but Jubilo Iwata has conceded goals in last 3 rounds, being in unsteady defenses, while Nagoya Grampus seems to recover and performed better. Here go for a high-scoring clash.

 

 

AFC Champions League Betting Tips - Jeonnam Dragons vs United City FC

 

 

Pick:1x2   Jeonnam Dragons @1.33

 

Analysis:

Jeonnam Dragons and United City FC will meet in a clash on AFC Champions League.

 

Jeonnam Dragons

Jeonnam Dragons ended last match against Melbourne City with 1:1, and got their 4t point on group table. Now they have accumulated 4 points on group table, 4 points behind of the second position, Melbourne City.

 

United City FC

United City FC are in limited strength. They lost last 4 rounds and have already lost the chance to advance, so their fighting spirit will be very low. Also, they have concede 12 goals totally in these 4 rounds, being in poor defenses.

 

Verdict:

Jeonnam Dragons won the first leg against United City FC by 1:0, with 65% goal possession rate. So | still go for Jeonnam Dragons in this leg.

 

 

UEFA Champions League -Manchester City vs RealMadrid

 

 

Pick:OU   Over (2.5/3) @1.88

 

Analysis:

Manchester city plays host to Real Madrid in the first leg of the Uefa Champions league semi finals at the Etihad Stadium.

 

Manchester City

The host enters this clash having won over Athletico Madrid a win that no one expected, goalless draw in Spanish capital was enough for Manchester City to progress to the semi finals for the second season. City have gone undefeated in Etihad since a 2-1 loss to lyon back in 2018. With pep Guardiolas men having found the net 13 good times in their five home matches in the tournament this season.

 

Real Madrid

Real Madrid the first team to clinched the champions league 3 times back to back squares off with Manchester City to see who progresses to the quarter finals. The Los Blanco saw of champions league winner Chelsea in a 5-4 aggregate in the quarter finals. With the Los Blanco inform as the seasons gets to an end a favourable result should be expected from them. Madrid are currently sitting first in La Liga. Although that shouldn't be an advantage going into this encounter. As they have lost to City side in their previous two occasions.

 

VERDICT:

both teams have met in previous occasion as the host have been triumphant in their most previous two encounter Winning by two goals to one aggregate. Although the visitors aren't simple to defeat when it comes to this competition. But Manchester city are clearly favourite.

 

 

Portugal Primeira Liga - Sporting Braga Vs FC Porto

 

 

Pick:1x2   FC Porto @1.80

   OU    Under (2.5/3) @1.85

 

Analysis:

Sporting Braga goes head to head against FC Porto on Monday at Estadio Municipal de Braga

 

Braga

After losing their match against Ranger, their next match against Estoril was a draw 0-0, like the team has been on the bad side of luck. Braga has played five matches (W3, D1, L1), with six goals scored in their last five matches. 4th at the table with the focus on qualifying for the champion league and haven't lost a home game in their last five matches.

 

FC Porto

FC Porto successfully had a good run of five clean sheets in the competition and has won all away games in their last five with a margin of one goal to win the game but a different story at home. In their last five games(W5) and 1st at the table with every chance of making it to the UEFA Champions League next season.

 

Verdict

Porto has drawn every away game against Braga in their last meetings but had the lead.

English Premier League Game Preview -- Arsenal vs Manchester United

 

 

Pick:1x2   Arsenal @2.05

 

Analysis:

Arsenal and Manchester United resume hostilities in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon at the Emirates, in a contest that may make or break both clubs' top-four hopes.

 

Arsenal

With a thrilling 4-2 victory against Chelsea on midweek, the Gunners revived their Champions League hopes. Arsenal still hold fourth place, with Arteta's side behind Tottenham Hotspur on goal differential ahead of what appears to be a crucial North London derby on May 12. Despite losing back-to-back home games to Liverpool and Brighton, Arsenal still has the third-best record in the division with 32 points on home soil.

 

Manchester United

In a 4-0 loss to Liverpool, Ralf Rangnick's squad surrendered. On goal difference, the squad slid below Arsenal into sixth place, and a loss at the Emirates would put them six points below their North London rivals despite having played one more game. Man United have won just two of their previous seven Premier League games, losing each of their last three away from home.

 

Prediction

Man United's shaky backline might be in for a hard ride against Arteta's side if Arsenal's new- look side can generate similar levels of incisiveness as they did against Chelsea, and we can only see the Gunners completely destroying the Red Devils' top-four ambitions while giving theirs a big boost.

 

 

German Bundesliga Pred iction - VfL Wolfsburg VS FSV Mainz 05

 

 

Pick:1x2    VfL Wolfsburg @2.55

 

Analysis:

German Bundesliga Round 31 is coming this week. A game between VfL Wolfsburg and FSV Mainz 05 will be at the beginning of this Round.

 

VfL Wolfsburg

In the last game, they lose to Borussia Dortmund 1-6, which hurts their morale. They are thirteenth at the table of the League. They almost reach their goal of safety. But it is not done yet. They have to put more effort.

 

FSV Mainz 05 

They are ninth at the table of the League. As it is far away from both European games qualification and relegation, there is a lack of ambitions in the team. In the last game, they tie with VfB Stuttgart 0-0.

 

Verdict:

FSV Mainz 05 got a winning streak from VfL Wolfsburg in the past 3 h2h games, which makes them have a psychological advantage. But FSV Mainz 05 are aimless. VfL Wolfsburg have a home advantage. It is believed that VfL Wolfsburg will take one point from FSV Mainz 05 at least in the coming match.

 

 

Spanish La Liga - Real Sociedad Vs FC Barcelona

 

 

Pick:1x2   FC Barcelona @2.20

  OU    Under (2.5) @2.00

 

Analysis:

Real Sociedad goes head to head against FC Barcelona on Thursday.

 

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad lost a great chance to get into La Liga's top Five, even with a goalless draw against Real Betis extending their unbeaten league run(W3, D2). Qualifying for Europe for the third time running looks as difficult as ever, and they find it difficult to win against big teams this season including Barcelona 4-2. Extending that would give them their first LL clean sheet against Barcelona since a 1-0 win in April 2016, which was also the last time Sociedad won a league H2H.

 

FC Barcelona

Saw two defeats in their last two matches, with the UEFA Europa League loss to Frankfurt earlier this month has made the league their only way to the Champion League for next season. The recent loss against Cadiz was 1-0 halted an unbeaten 15 game(W11, D4).

Barcelona has won more away games so far under Xavi and securing the win means a lot to the club, trophyless this season again.

 

Prediction

Real Sociedad has been defeated by Barcelona in their last four meetings but teams have had difficulties in scoring in their last match.

 

 

Spanish La Liga - Atletico Madrid vs Granada CF

 

 

Pick:1x2   Atletico Madrid @1.30

 

Analysis:

Granada CF will take a trip to Wanda Metropolitano for Spanish La Liga Round 33 this week.

 

Atletico Madrid

Thanks to Yannick Carasco's late penalty in the last game, they survive Espanyol. It is surprising that they quickly recovered from the Champions League elimination, and, no doubt, Sunday's triumph gave them a confidence boost. Midfielder Kondogbia serves a one-game ban, while both Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann are pushing for a start.

 

Granada CF

Los Granadinos suffered a heavy 4-1 loss to Levante at the weekend, with the team remaining in the danger zone. The Andalusian outfit aim to get back on course as soon as possible, but seeing that Atletico have turned their Wanda Metropolitano into a real fortress. German Sanchez misses out through suspension, while all Raul Torrente, Ruben Rochina, and Carlos Neva are sidelined with injuries.

 

Verdict:

As Atletico Madrid have been knocked out of UEFA Champions League, they will put all their efforts on the League since now. And they have a home advantage. We expect to see a high score victory for Atletico Madrid.

Coppa ltalia Game Preview -- Inter Milan vs AC Milan

 

 

Pick:1x2   Inter Milan @1.95

 

Analysis:

Inter Milan and title rivals AC Milan meet at San Siro on Tuesday in the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final, separated by only two points in the Serie A standings.

 

Inter Milan

Following last month's dreary 0-0 stalemate in the first leg, the balance between two Calcio powerhouses is carefully poised - albeit Inter have previously captured the Coppa Italia on seven occasions to Milan's five. Following their quarter-final triumph last year, the Nerazzurri went on to win the Scudetto ahead of their closest rivals, and the two teams have remained embroiled in a battle for the big honours this season.

 

AC Milan

The five-time cup champions have only lost two of their past 19 Coppa games at home, and despite being the away team at San Siro this week, Stefano Pioli's side should be confident after overcoming Genoa and Lazio to reach this stage. AC Milan has lately fallen to goalless draws against Bologna and Torino without the talismanic presence of ex-Inter star Zlatan lbrahimovic up front, but were able to squeeze past struggling Genoa on Friday.

 

Prediction

While the away goals rule may influence how both teams approach this game - Milan may be content to sit back and try to score on the break - Inter's larger goal threat is likely to carry them through to the final.

ltalian Serie A Preview -- Napoli vs AS Roma

 

 

Pick:1x2   Draw @3.60

AH   AS Roma (+0.5) @2.01

 

Analysis:

The outcome of Monday's Derby del Sole between championship hopefuls Napoli and a resurgent Roma might have significant implications for both teams.

 

Napoli

Last week's setback at home to a courageous Fiorentina team in Naples extended up that gap, and despite goals from Dries Mertens and the in-form Victor Osimhen in the second half, they were defeated 3-2 by the Tuscans. Despite their high position in the standings, Napoli has lost eight of their ten games in all competitions this season, and they have only lost more home games in a single season once before.

 

AS Roma

Roma has taken on the mantle of Serie A's 'unbeatables' in recent weeks, as they are the first side in the top level to go 11 games without losing. During that time, they won seven times, including the derby against Lazio and at home against Atalanta. In six of the league's 11 undefeated matches, the squad has preserved a clean sheet.

 

Prediction

Both Napoli and Roma have won two of their past six Serie A meetings in Naples, implying that nothing has separated them recently. Over three goals were scored on average in those games.

Italian Serie A Tips &Match Preview——Cagliari vs Sassuolo

 

 

Pick:1x2   Sassuolo @2.38

 

Analysis:

Cagliari will welcome Sssolo on Saturday's Serie A.

 

Cagliari

Cagliari's performance of this season is not good enough. The team has only achieved 5 wins,10 draws and 17 losses after 32 rounds and ranks 17th in the league table with 25 point, only 3 points higher than Genoa behind them. Because of their poor defensive performance, the total number of goals conceded is as high as 61 goals They faced Juventus in last round and finally lost with 1-2. They lost last 5 matches, being in low morale.

 

Sassuolo

Sassuolo's performance since this season has been relatively mediocre. The team has achieved 12 wins, 10 draws and 10 losses after 32 rounds. Currently, tehy ranks in the middle of the league table with 46 points, which is 9 points away from the UEFA ECL qualifying. It is more difficult to overtake, the team's fighting spirit is relatively inferior to Cagliari, but it is commendable that Sassuolo defeated Atalanta 2-1 at home in the last Serie A league game, winning 5 of the past 7 league games, and has a relatively good state.

 

Prediction:

Cagliari could not get a win in past 10 head to head matches against Sassuolo and had lost 3, and they lost to Sassuolo by 0:1 in last match on Copa Italia. Also, the team is currently in a 5- game losing streak, so | go for Sassuolo in this round.

England Championship Preview ——Luton Town vs Nottingham Forest

 

 

Pick:AH   Nottingham Forest (0) @1.85

 

Analysis:

The Championship game at Kenilworth Road Stadium on Friday sees home side Luton Town take on Nottingham Forest.

 

Luton Town

Luton Town will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 2-0 Championship defeat last time out to Huddersfield Town. It's been all too rare in recent games where Luton Town have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Luton Town have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 8 goals on the way. Let's find out whether or not that trend will be continued on into this next match.

 

Nottingham Forest

Notinghaom Foret wil go into this clash flowing on tom a 2-0 Championship win with the eclipse of Birmingham City in their most recent match. A sequence of reliable displays by the Nottingham Forest denders has esuted in their goals ainst tll sanding at 3 fom their previous 6 cashes in tal. Over that same priod, their own atak fore has managed to score 15.

 

Verdict:

Notingham's, away fom is gd and they have ben in btter form rcen The 1X2 fist odds is 25-.30-2.50,0 sens lcked of conidence to the home teamn. Ntingham should take points in this game.

 

Luton Town vs Nottingham Forest

 

Pick: Nottingham Forest+O

UEFA Europa League Preview—Atalanta VS RB Leipzig

 

 

Pick:AH     Atalanta (0) @1.98

 

Analysis:

The highly anticipated Europa League quarter-final match between Atalanta and RB Leipzig takes place on Thursday.

 

Atalanta

Atalanta are not in good form with only 1 draw and 2 losses in their last 3 games. They were confident after scoring a goal in the first leg away to Leipzig. Striker Muriel scored for last 2 consecutive game and was very important for the team.

 

RB Leipzig

Leipzig, who beat Hoffenheim 3-0 at home in the last round, have been in excellent form with 8 wins and 4 draws in their last 12 games. And they have won six straight away games so far, scoring a total of 24 goals.

 

Verdict:

There is not much difference between the two teams. The 1X2 first odd is 2.25-3.50-3.00.which means support the home team. Atalanta should win this game.

 

Atalanta vs RB Leipzig

pick: 1

UEFA Champions League Preview- Liverpool vs Benfica

 

 

Pick:1x2   Liverpool @1.30

 

Analysis:

At Anfield Liverpool's playoff against Benfica on Wednesday.

 

Liverpool

After a straight win against Benfica 3-1 first leg away and have not lost at home to Portuguese opposition since 2005/06 so losing is not allowed. Liverpool playing at a good performance after a draw-in to the title race 2-2 against Man City in the league at the weekend. Liverpool haven't lost in 6 matches with more goals both home and away (W4, D1)

 

Benfica

The weekend match against Belenenses 3-1 defeat and they had the advantage of being able to rest some of their players against the second leg champion league at Anfield. Benfica is going to face one of the toughest clubs at Anfield with history offering lttle hope, as Benfica have won just one quarter-final away leg in any UEFA competition (W1, D2, L6) with the heaviest defect (1-4) in 2009/10 Europa League trip to Anfield.

 

Verdict

Benfica knows how difficult the match is going to be so they rested their players for the hope. .

Liverpool is at the focus of winning the league title, FA Cup, and champion league.

 

 

Pick: Over 2.5

UEFA Champions League Preview: Bayern Munchen VS Villarreal

 

 

Pick:OU  Over (3.5) @2.03

 

Analysis:

Bayern Munchen welcomes Vllarreal to Allianz Arena in the Champions League quarter final

second leg, on Tuesday night.

 

Bayern Munchen

The Bravarians lost away to the yellow submarine by a goal margin. In what was their first Champions League away defeat in years. Thanks to Danjuma's goal that gave the visitors here the ultimate victory. But Unai Emery's men should get complesant as a goal difference isn't much to worry the former 2013 champions league holders. The last weekend match saw the Breavarians winning by a lone goal. Thanks to Lewandoski penalty in the closing hours of the game. Nagelsmann should have a fully fit squad to match on to victory in this encounter. Although Bayern haven't gone past this stage since 2014/2015 season and all their lost came from Spanish opponents.

 

Villarreal

Villarreal are well prepared to enter this encounter after a first leg 1-0 win over the host. Yellow flags were waving around the Ceramica stadium last week Wednesday as they had a mountain to climb and climbed it really good with a victory. Although The yellow submarines shouldn't let that get into their head, because a goal advantage is nothing compared to what happened to Salzburg with a thumping of 7-1 after a 2-2 draw in the first leg of that encounter. Villarreal drew Athletico Bilbao 1-1 as few players where rotated and some rested for this encounter.

 

Verdict:

After the first leg ended in a defeat for the host here. They will think twice to get prepared for this encounter as they would love to progress to the semis where either Benfica or Liverpool would be waiting. Vllarreal are prepared for this one but i don't see them getting past this stage as they haven't gotten to the semis in over a decade.

 

 

OVER 2.5 GOALS

ltalian Serie A Preview- Bologna vs Sampdoria

 

 

Pick:1x2     Bologna @2.20

 

Analysis:

Bologna goes head to head against Sampdoria on Monday at Stadio Renato Dall Ara.

 

Bologna

Last Monday, Bologna draw their match against Milan at San Siro despite facing 33 shot attempts. Won one match in their last six matches(W1, D3, L2), Bologna now has the same record they did last season after 30 league matches( W9, D7, L14) third consecutive 12th place finish. Bologna will need to improve their home performance in the hope to win against Sampdoria. Haven't scored in their last four matche and H2H Bologna hasn't lost a match against Sampdoria in their last five meetings.

 

Sampdoria

2nd biggest chances were created in the competition (13) and have had a bad run after a defeat 1-0 from Roma. Sampdoria has played five matches ( W1, L4) and has scored only five- goal in their last five matches. Sampdoria has been able to score H2H against Bologna but has not won any match against them.

 

Verdict

Bologna H2H against the away team has always scored in their last 5 meetings. Sampdoria is

fighting to stay away from the relegation zone.

 

Pick: Over 1.5.

English Premier League Preview -- Everton vs Manchester United

 

 

Pick:1x2     Manchester United @1.78

 

Analysis:

Everton will welcome Manchester United at Goodison Park on Saturday's Premier League.

 

Everton

As for Everton, the state of this season is very sluggish. Even if the coach is changed, there is no improvement at all. After 29 rounds, they have only won 7 games, and they are currently ranked 17th in the Premier League standings with 25 points. The advantage of leading the relegation zone is only 1 point. They must fight for getting out of relegation.

 

Manchester United

Atnogh Manchester uited has iveste heavily in sging this season, sucssesly introducing three superstars like Sancho,'Cristiano Ronaldo and Varane, and even changing the coach, for now Manchester United's performance is sill worse than expected. After being tied by Leicester city in the last round, Manchester United has now fallen out of top six. Although it is only 3 points away from the Champions League qualifying,it is sill competitive. The Red Devils must win every game in the folowing matches.

 

Prediction:

Both sides are not in good forms,but Mancester United took upper hand on overall strength and had advantages in past 7 head to head battles. So Manchester United may win.

Australia A-League Prediction: Adelaide United vs FC Macarthur

 

 

Pick:AH   FC Macarthur (0/+0.5) @2.05

 

Analysis:

Adelaide United will meet FC Macarthur for the fixture on Australia A-League.

 

Adelaide United

Adelaide United's performances since this season have been unsteady, and lately it's clear they've fallen into a trough again. In the last few matches, Adelaide United's opponents are not very strong, but they only have a record of 1 draw and 3 losses. And if they lose this round, Adelaide United is likely to fall out of the championship playoff group, so I believe they still have a certain desire to rebound.

 

FC Macarthur

Although MacArthur FC is currently ranked 3rd in the standings, the overall performance gap between them and Adelaide United is not very big. The loss was stopped in time after the 4-2 home victory over Perth Glory. At present, the advantages of MacArthur FC ahead of behind teams are very small, and there is a possibility of falling out of the championship playoff group at any time. However, it should be noted that MacArthur FC's away performance has been significantly poor recently, with only 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 5 away matches.

 

Prediction:

Both sides are in close strength, but Adelaide United are in tiring offenses, and their defenses are not stable enough, while FC Macarthur improved their morale by a big win in last round. And for the 1X2 odds trend, the live away win return is lower, so here predict FC Macarthur would be unbeatable in this round.

UEFA Europa League Prediction- RB Leipzig VS Atalanta

Pick:1x2   RB Leipzig @1.83

 

Analysis:

UEFA Europa League Quarter Final is coming this week. RB Leipzig and Atalanta will make a

good start for us at Red Bull Arena.

 

RB Leipzig

They get back into their form gradually under the management of Domenico Tedesco. In the

last game, they win over Borussia Dortmund 1-4, getting a five-match unbeaten run recently.

In addition, as Spartak Moscow have been out of the League, they get more time to prepare

for the upcoming game.

 

Atalanta

There is not enough quality for them to play Europa League and Italian Serie A at the same

time. It took lots of their effort in the 1/8 Final but just got two narrow victories over Bayer

Leverkusen. As they rank seventh in Italian Serie A, with lttle chance to qualify for European

games next season, undoubtedly they will try their best in the coming match.

 

Verdict:

They did not meet each other in recent years. RB Leipzig are slightly better than Atalanta.

Besides, RB Leipzig have a home advantage. It is believed that RB Leipzig have made great

preparation for the upcoming game.

J-League Division 1 - Sagan Tosu vs Consadole Sapporo Prediction

Pick:1x2  Consadole Sapporo @2.68

 

Analysis:

Tosu Stadium will witness a game between Sagan Tosu and Consadole Sapporo on Wednesday.

 

Sagan Tosu

There is been a big change of the team. It takes time for them to get used to their new formation. Surprisingly, they have not suffered any defeat this season yet. They are eighth at the table of the League, without any threat of relegation.

 

Consadole Sapporo

They bring in several experienced players such as Gabriel Augusto Xavier, Daigo NISHI and Shinzo Koroki and so on to make up for the departure of Chanathip Songkrasin. So far, they get 6 draws, with both one scoring and conceding goal on average.

 

Verdict:

Consadole Sapporo take the upper hand over Sagan Tosu in past head to head clashes with 6W-3D-1L. In addition, Sagan Tosu suffer from injuries. So the traveller have the trend to win in the coming match.

Holland Jupiler League - FC Utrecht vs NAC Breda

two at the table and the relegation spot. The key player to watch Mees Rijks scored 4 goals in

28 matches, Jong has been unable to set a clean record but was able to score in their last

match. H2H against Breda (L3, D3) was able to see the net in their |ast two meetings.

 

Breda

Recent performance in their last 5 matches was impressive (W3, D1, L1) but still were not able

to score in their last two matches. Breda hasn't lost their last match against Jong (W4,

D2).finding it hard to score in their last match before the break, the fan will be expecting a

change from the International break and secure three points.

 

Verdict :

H2H against Jong shows that Breda is not ready to lose a clear point but still finds it hard to

net.

 

Pick: 2x

2021/2022 Premier League Preview: Chelsea vs Brentford

 Chelsea News

Christian Pulisic is expected to play some part for USA in the early hours of Thursday morning, so may not be risked from the outset.

Ben Chilwell is also absent, but Thomas Tuchel may have Kepa, Saul Niguez, Andreas Christensen, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Reece James available for selection.

With an eye on next week's Champions League meeting with Real Madrid, James may not be risked, with Tuchel potentially sticking with a four-man backline.

 

Brentford News

Josh Dasilva returns following a ban, but Thomas Frank is without Julian Jeanvier and Saman Ghoddos, the latter due to COVID.

Despite defeat at Leicester before the international break, Frank may stick with a 4-5-1 system, with Yoane Wissa keeping his spot on the left at Sergi Canos' expense.

Christian Eriksen, who netted twice during the international break, should also return to the starting XI.

 

Prediction

Chelsea welcome west London rivals Brentford to Stamford Bridge on a six-game winning run. Their only defeat in their last 14 was the Carabao Cup final shootout loss to Liverpool.

Back-to-back wins over relegation rivals Norwich and Burnley were followed up by a loss at Leicester prior to the international break, but the Bees have at least put breathing space between themselves and the drop zone.

Nevertheless, Brentford may endure another setback here with Chelsea excellent at home in recent weeks.
