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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

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 -- FC Barcelona vs Benfica

FC Barcelon

After the disastrous defeat to Benfica and Bayern in the first two game of Champions League group state, Barcelon beat Dynamo Kyiv twice at home and away. At present, they rank second in Group E with 6 points. If Barcelona lose to the Portuguese giants again, they risk being usurped by Benfica. Moreover, given that they face the leader Bayern in the final group game, they'd better win this game, not even a draw. Xavi's opening game as a new manager ended perfectly with a 1-0 victory over the Espanyol on Sunday. Barcelona have been unbeaten in their last four games and have scored goals in the last seven home games.

 

 

 

 

Benfica

Although the 3-0 victory over Barcelona in the second game attracted attention, the two disastrous defeats in Bayern Munich greatly reduced Benfica's hope of winning a place in the knockout of the Champions League. If Benfica takes all three points and separates from Camp Nou, they will get the second place in the group, if fails, they will have to occupy a place in the Europa League. The visitors could afford to rest a number of their top players on Friday for their Taca de Portugal meeting with Pacos Ferreira and still got a 4-1 victory.

 

Xavi will certainly provide a more reliable defender for the game and ensure that the team are in the top two. Benfica will not be easily defeated and have good memories of their battle with Barcelona in September, but we still expect Xavi's rule to continue here in a perfect way.

Tottenham Hotspur vs NK Mura 05 --- UEFA Europa Conference League

Tottenham Hotspur will host Mura at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a UEFA Europa Conference League fixture on Thursday.

 

Tottenham Hotspur enter their 12th successive year in contention for a European title to their name, as the only English club to participate in the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League. Tottenham Hotspur opened their European campaign with a 2-2 draw against Rennes on matchday one. And they come into the game on the back of a debilitating 3-1 defeat away to city rivals Arsenal in the north London derby on Sunday.

 

 

 

 

NK Mura 05 ended up in the UEFA Europa Conference League after successive eliminations from both the Champions League and the Europa League qualifiers. They currently sit bottom of the standings in Group G, having fallen to a 2-0 defeat to Vittesse on home turf two weeks ago. Mura had to settle for a share of the spoils in a goalless home draw with Koper in the Slovenian Prva Liga.

 

There is simply too much difference in quality between the two sides for this to be an even contest and Tottenham should easily win this one with a convincing victory.

Spanish La Liga -- FC Barcelona VS Real Sociedad

FC Barcelona

The state of Barcelona has become worse and worse in recent seasons. Since the end of last season, they have had a great shock, including changing the president of the club, the departure of Messi and so on. At the same time, due to the difficulty in canceling the contracts of the high-salary but low-ability players such as Umtiti, Coutinho, Dembélé, Griezmann and so on. They have not made much action in the transfer market so far this summer. They previously introduced Agüero, Depay and Emerson, which are either free or very cheap. However, they won all the other four games in the previous warm-up games except being beaten by FC Red Bull Salzburg. The last one even beat the Juventus 3-0. It can be seen that they have a good preformance.

Real Sociedad

Royal Society once dominated the top of the list at the beginning of last season, but they gradually fell behind because of injuries and other reasons. Fortunately, it finally ranked 5th under the pressure. In addition, they have won the champion of Copa del Rey. However, it is very difficult for them to get the good results as last season. On the one hand, they have not made much introduction in the transfer market so far and the overall strength of the team has not improved compared with last season. On the other hand, the absolutely main player like Oyarzabal participated in the European Football Championship and the Olympic Games this summer. It is also a huge question whether he can maintain the excellent state of last season.

Comprehensive Analysis

The strength gap and fame between the two teams is obvious. From the previous against records, Barcelona has won all the games against the Real Sociedad at home, so this game will obviously attract more attention. But unlike the past, Barcelona is obviously in a period of shock. Among several new signings in the summer window, except for the full back Emerson, who can play in the field, but including Depay, Agüero and García, who are not even registered temporarily, with other sick players, Barcelona has weak lineup in the first round. It is not surprising to lose points at home, Which facing the Real Sociedad in good condition.

UEFA Champions League Dinamo Zagreb vs Omonia Nicosia FC

UEFA Champions League

Dinamo Zagreb vs Omonia Nicosia FC

Dinamo have had the benefit of two legs against Valur to prepare them for this Tuesday's challenge, so are likely to capitalise on home advantage and the return of their star men to the side.

Pick: Dinamo Zagreb
