Italian Serie A - AC Milan vs Sassuolo Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

AC Milan will play against Sassuolo at San Siro on Sunday.

 

AC Milan

Even though AC Milan made preparations for the Super Coppa Italiana match versus Inter Milan, they lost. They now have low morale as a result of their recent 0-3 loss to Inter Milan and 4-0 loss to Lazio.

 

Sassuolo

They have gone seven games without a victory. They also perform poorly on the road, winning only 10% of their away games this year. They will find it challenging to recover in the upcoming game.

 

Verdict:

AC Milan take the upper hand over Sassuolo in their past head to head matches, with a record of 5W-3D-2L. Besides, AC Milan have the home advantage. So AC Milan will possibly win in the coming game.

England FA Cup -- Walsall vs Leicester City Betting Tips

 

 

Analysis:

Walsall will host Leicester City at the Bescot Stadium in the FA Cup.

 

Walsall

Walsall have an impressive forms lately, with just one defeat in thirteen games, having scored in eleven in those games. They are also strong on home soil, winning five out of their last six home matches. On this tournament, they headed into this stage by beating Wycombe, Carlisle and Stockport.

 

Leicester City

Leicester City played well in the last League game against Brighton at the weekend but finished the game in a 2-2 draw. Now they are winless for five Premier League games. However, they have not been bad on the road, with five wins in the last seven away games.

 

Verdict:

Walsall played well at home and have consistent attack in this progress, however, they are still a team playing in League Two, while Leicester City playes in the Premier League and have good quality. Go for both teams to score in 90 min.

 

Pick: BTTS – YES

English Premier League - Liverpool vs Chelsea Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Two team currently are suffering from injuries. Chelsea have eleven suspended players, compared to Liverpool's seven.

 

Liverpool

They perform well from the end of the World Cup, even losing only one-goal down from Manchester City. But till the new year, they are getting worse. In the four games this year, they have only managed one victory.

 

Chelsea

They did not get any better over the international break. In their last ten games, they have only managed one win. As they were already out from the FA Cup, they put greater emphasis on the league. In the most recent game, they won over Crystal Palace 1-0.

 

Verdict:

Chelsea are in a poor condition because of injuries. Liverpool are lightly better thanks to the home benefit. It is believed that Liverpool are going to win.

 

Pick: 1

 

O/U Pick: Under 3

 

Spanish Copa Del Rey - Villarreal vs Real Madrid Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Last week, Villarreal defeated Real Madrid. Since 2018, it was their first triumph against Real Madrid. Will Villarreal get a winning streak against Real Madrid?

 

Villarreal

They have gone eight games without a loss. With the exception of the cup matchup 5-1 triumph over FC Cartagena, all of the scores were close.

 

Real Madrid

In 2023, they have 1W-1D-2L. One of the losses was to Villarreal in the league, while the victory was in the cup. Asian handicap were lost in all of the games.

 

Verdict:

Their prior ten encounters had six draws. Villarreal enjoy the home advantage. What's more, Villarreal are in form while Real Madrid are not in a good shape. It is predicted to be a close race but tend to a home win.

 

Pick: 1X

 

AH Pick: Villarreal 0/+0.5

Spanish Copa Del Rey - AD Ceuta vs FC Barcelona

 

 

Analysis:

AD Ceuta and FC Barcelona will fight for Spanish Copa Del Rey round 4.

 

FC Barcelona have a nine-match unbeaten run. The most recent loss they experienced came from Bayern in late October.

 

AD Ceuta perform well in recent home games, getting a three-match unbeaten run. Therefore I anticipate that AD Ceuta will try their best to score one goal at Alfonso Murube Stadium.

 

FC Barcelona are the best team in La Liga matches, as we all know. For many years, AD Ceuta have competed in the third or lower divisions. There's big gap between two teams. AD Ceuta have very little chance of ever meeting FC Barcelona. The last time they met FC Barcelona was in 2010. They suffered two losses to FC Barcelona in that year. FC Barcelona will surely win.

 

Pick: 2

 

AH Pick: AD Ceuta +2.5, FC Barcelona -1.5

English Premier League -- Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Game Preview

 

Analysis:

Crystal Palace will play host Manchester United at Selhurst Park for the rescheduled Matchday 7 fixture on Wednesday.

 

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have been in poor forms after the World Cup break, with wining only one but losing four of the five matches in all competitions. They fell a 0-1 away defeat at Chelsea at the weekend. They are currently sitting 12th with six wins, four draws and eight defeats, seven points adrift of the relegation zone.

 

Manchester United

Manchester United have got a winning streak of nine straight competitive games, including a 2-1 home win over Man City last outing. Now they have claimed into fifth place on the Premier League table, a point behind of the second-placed Man City.

 

Prediction:

Palace is also a tough opponent for the Red Devils. But I believe the United would keep their best moment and extend their winning streak by this clash.

 

Pick: Manchester United Match Winner

AH Pick: Port Vale 0

English Premier League - Brighton Hove Albion vs Liverpool Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Liverpool will take a trip to American Express Community Stadium to meet Brighton after a draw with Wolves in last game.

 

Brighton Hove Albion

They had 3W-1D-1L following the World Cup. Four of those contests were over goal results. They only suffered one loss, to Arsenal, and they scored two goals in that game.

 

Liverpool

Due to a loss to Brentford and a draw with Wolves, they have not won in two games. They won't give their next game more effort since they need to focus on getting ready for the match against Wolves in three days in order to advance to the FA Cup's fourth round.

 

Verdict:

Brighton had 90% over goal rate in recent ten games and Liverpool had 70%. Consequently, a high-scoring outcome featuring goals from both teams is anticipated.

 

Pick: 1

 

BTTS: Y

 

O/U Pick: Over 3.5

English Premier League - Manchester United vs Manchester City Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Manchester derby will have a game at Old Trafford on Saturday.

 

Manchester United

After the international break, Man Utd have a winning streak, and in only one of those games—five of which were clean sheets—have they given up a goal. But the majority of their opponentsare at the bottom of the PL standings.

 

Manchester City

After a recent 1-1 draw with Everton and two clean sheets against Chelsea, they are very motivated. Man City won their last five games of -0.5/-1 bet365 O/U opening odds. And 60% of the time, their outcome matches what the betting companies predicted.

 

Verdict:

In their prior meetings, Man City enjoyed a three-match winning skid over Man Utd. Man Utd had twice lost to Man City previous season even at Old Trafford. Man City are more likely to win.

 

Pick: 2

 

BTTS: Y

 

AH Pick: Man City -1/1.5

Coppa Italia -- AS Roma vs Genoa Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

AS Roma will host Genoa on Thursday evening for a spot in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia.

 

AS Roma

AS Roma are coming off a 2-2 away draw at AC Milan in their last League game. The team have picked up four points after the World Cup break, and they just lost one of the last six rounds. Although they have been inconsistent on home soil, they have good scoring forms latly.

 

Genoa

Genoa have performed well in Serie B this season. With a run of unbeaten four matches, they are third on the League table. They advanced into this stage by eliminating Benevento and Spal on Coppa Italia. However, they are facing a tough challenge against the team who are undefeated in Genoa’s last ten visits to Roma.

 

Prediction:

AS Roma should take initiative with their superior squad when against the second tier opponents.

 

Pick: AS Roma

English Premier League - Fulham vs Chelsea Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

The game between Fulham and Chelsea of EPL round 7 will kick off this Thursday.

 

Fulham

They currently have a four-match winning run. They now hold the tenth spot in the league table. They will take the opportunity to score a point against Chelsea as they will play Newcastle in the following round. Additionally, Fulham enjoy over-goal results with a 72% over-goal rate.

 

Chelsea

Sadly, they ran into Man Utd and Man City, and they now have a losing streak. Actually, they have gone three games without a victory. Of course, injuries have an impact on them. Due to injuries, up to ten players have been suspended.

 

Verdict:

Fulham have not defeated Chelsea in their previous ten meetings, giving Chelsea the psychological advantage. As Fulham are in form while Chelsea are in a poor state, it is time for Fulham to revenge.

 

Pick: 1

 

AH Pick: Fulham 0/+0.5

 

O/U Pick: Over 2.5

France Ligue 1 - Lorient vs Monaco Preview

 

 

Analysis:

The fifth and the sixth of France Ligue 1 are going to play a game this Wednesday.

 

Lorient

Despite their current winning streak, both of the victories came away from home. It is strange that they perform better away from home. They have a losing skid at home.

 

Monaco

With a 75% away win rate this season, they are second only to PSG in terms of road performance. Additionally, they haven't lost in seven of their most recent away games.

 

Verdict:

In previous matches, Monaco have prevailed against Lorient, 6W-2D-2L, giving them the psychological advantage. According to above, Monaco stand the chance to win in the forthcoming game.

 

Pick: 2

 

O/U Pick: Under 2.5/3

England FA Cup - Oxford United vs Arsenal Betting Tips

Arsenal need a bounce back by the third round of the FA Cup when they will travel to the Kassam Stadium to take on Oxford United.

 

Oxford United

Oxford United are in a untrustworthy forms lately, with winning just one out of their last five matches and failing to score in three of the last four matches. In the last ten matches played, they had only two clean sheets.

 

Arsenal

Arsenal are coming off a goalless home draw against Newcastle United last outing. Notably as well, Arsenal have won each of their last three matches away from home, and they even won seven of their last nine visits. Also, Arsenal have two clean sheets in their last three away matches.

 

Verdict:

Arsenal took the upper hand in overall strength and recent forms. I don’t expect any upsets here and just back Arsenal win with a clean sheet.

 

PICK: ARSENAL WIN TO NIL

Spanish La Liga - Atletico Madrid vs FC Barcelona

 

 

Analysis:

The match between FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid on Sunday will be fantastic.

 

FC Barcelona are now ranking first at the table of the league, with the same points as the second. Atletico Madrid are the fourth, attempting to maintain its position in the European Qualification ranking.

 

They are both in top shape and setting unbroken records. Atletico Madrid are on a winning streak. Two of FC Barcelona's games were drawn. FC Barcelona defeated CF Intercity in overtime of the most recent cup match. Lewandowski's absence obviously affects them.

 

Atletico Madrid have not lost against FC Barcelona in their encounters in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, FC Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 4-2 in their most recent meeting at Camp Nou. The outcome could favor Atletico Madrid.

 

Pick: X

Spanish La Liga - Valencia vs Cadiz Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Mestalla will hold a La Liga match between Valencia and Cadiz on Friday.

In the last game, they defeated CF La Nucia 0-3, which ended their losing streak in December. They perform well at Mestalla, having a 50% win rate, with 1.88 scoring goals and 0.88 conceding goals on average of this season's home matches.

 

Cadiz

They are in good shape, having finished 2W-2D-1L during the FIFA World Cup. The only defeat was from a one-goal loss to Wolves. But they play poorly when travelling, with a 14% winning percentage.

 

Verdict:

Valencia rank tenth at the table of the league while Cadiz rank nineteenth. Besides, Valencia got 4W-4D-2L from Cadiz in their past games, which take the upper hand. Thus Valencia will win.

 

Pick: 1

 

AH Pick: Valencia -1

English Premier League - Chelsea vs Manchester City Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Chelsea and Man City will play in a thrilling match tonight at Stamford Bridge stadium.

 

Chelsea

After the international break, they have 1W-1D. However, both wins came against teams at the bottom of the standings. Fortunately, they have a more than a half winning percentage at home.

 

Manchester City

As the second in the league table, they are doing everything they can to get closer to Arsenal. So far this season, they have only suffered one away defeat, to Arsenal.

 

Verdict:

Man City have the psychological advantage because they defeated Chelsea with three clean sheets in their most recent head-to-head contests. Man City is anticipated to record another clean sheet victory.

 

Pick: 2

 

FT Correct: 2-0, 3-0

 

Erling Haaland to score any time

Italian Serie A - Cremonese vs Juventus

 

 

Analysis:

Juventus will travel to Giovanni Zini Stadium for a game against Cremonese.

 

There's big gap between Cremonese and Juventus. Cremonese rank eighteenth in the league table, struggling hard for relegation, however, Juventus are ranking third and chasing for the championship.

 

Actually, Cremonese have yet to win a game this season. It is impossible for them to defeat Juventus in the upcoming game to get their first victory of the season.

 

In their most recent 10 games,  including friendlies, the Italian league, and the UEFA Champions League, Juventus kept seven clean sheets. Given Cremonese's lack of league competitiveness, it is projected that Juventus will win by more than two goals.

 

Pick: 2

 

AH Pick: Juventus -1.5

 

O/U Pick: Under 3

English Premier League - Manchester United vs Bournemouth AFC

 

 

Analysis:

Old Trafford will host a game between Manchester United and Bournemouth AFC on Tuesday.

 

Man Utd perform well at Old Trafford, which have got an unbeaten record there. The last home defeat they suffered was in September. Additionally, Man Utd have not lost to Bournemouth in the past at Old Trafford, giving them the psychological advantage.

 

With three clean sheets in their most recent games following the international break, Man Utd are doing well. It's interesting that the Cherries have recently lost three clean sheets from Palace, Chelsea and Newcastle. Man Utd stand great chance to defeat Bournemouth without conceding goal in the upcoming game.

 

Manchester United is hence expected to win 3-0.

 

FT Correct Score: 3-0
