UEFA Champions League-Atletic Club D Escaldes VS FK Buducnost Podgorica

 

 

Playing at the Kópavogsvöllur location in Iceland, both teams finished their season in equally good form. Atletic come into this contest having won six and lost only one of their last eight games of the season, having scored 19 goals in the process. Likewise, Bunducnost finished their campaign with four wins and just one loss in their last six games of the season.

 

neither side has a winning history in this event. Making their debut in the competition, Atletic made their first foray into European competition last season; however, they would suffer a narrow 2:1 Conference League qualification defeat at the hands of Maltese opponents Gzira United.

 

Comparatively, Budocnost enjoy more experience in this competition even though their record is not great. Losing six and winning only one of their previous nine UCL qualifying matches.

2023 Gold Cup-USA vs. Jamaica - Gold Cup preview

 

 

The 2023 Gold Cup begins with an entertaining clash between USA and Jamaica on June 24th at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois.

 

The USMNT are coming into the tournament as reigning champions, after defeating Mexico 1-0 in the 2021 final to lift the trophy. Now, interim manager B.J. Callaghan, who will remain as head coach for the duration of the Gold Cup, will attempt to lead his side to consecutive titles.

 

Jamaica and head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson, on the other hand, enter the tournament seeking revenge against the US after their 1-0 quarterfinal defeat in the 2021 tournament. The Carribbean side will be a tough test for USA as they welcome Demarai Gray after he switched his international allegiance from England to the Reggae Boyz.

 

The two countries have met 31 times dating back to 1988, with the USA leads the all-time series 19-3-3. The last time they experienced defeat against Jamaica was in 2019, during an international friendly, 1-0. Will USA triumph over Jamaica for the 20th time, or will the Reggae Boyz take control of Group A with an upset?

 

USA team news

 

B.J Callaghan had star-studded lineups in the Nations League final and semifinal that included the likes of Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Gio Reyna, and Folarin Balogun. But those players are now preparing for pre-season with their clubs, forcing Callaghan to lead a much different squad in this Concacaf tournament.

 

Beyond Matt Turner, who returns to the camp as the No. 1 goalkeeper, it is an MLS-heavy roster for the American side as Cristian Roldan, Aidan Morris, Jesus Ferreira lead the way. Jordan Morris, DeAndre Yedlin, Cade Cowell, Brandon Vazquez, and Alex Zendejas will also form part of this Gold Cup side in an attempt to win the trophy.

 

USA are riding a six-game unbeaten streak and look to make it seven straight against Jamaica.

 

Jamaica team news

 

Andre Blake will be in between the posts for Jamaica as he closes in on 60 appearances for them in all competitions. The potential front three of Demarai Gray, Michail Antonio, and Leon Bailey could pose a threat for USA's backline with their pace and skill.

 

Antonio has scored three goals for Jamaica in seven appearances after making the one-time switch from England in 2021, while Bailey has managed three goals in 19 games played. It will be interesting to see what those two can do with Gray up front in the Everton player's debut for the Carribbean nation.

 

Following their Nations League exit in March, Jamaica has since played Qatar, who are also competing in the Gold Cup for a second time, and Jordan in tune-up friendlies. Jamaica were unable to win in either games, losing 2-1 twice. The Reggae Boyz hope to find the same magic that helped them knock off USA back in 2015 to set the tone early on.

 

 

Prediction

On paper, USA has the more balanced squad, but Jamaica's attacking unit should be able to create some chances to keep them in the game if they receive enough service. Things could get tricky for USA, especially if they are without Miles Robinson.

 

USA's forwards are still top-class, though. Together, they should be able to create plenty of chances against the Jamaica defense between Morris, Ferreira, Roldan, and Vazquez, but getting past Blake might be difficult. However, USA should have enough quality to overcome Jamaica in Matchday one of the Gold Cup.

 

Prediction: USA 2 - Jamaica 1

UEFA Nations League A Championship Playoff »Spain VS Italy

 

 

Team News

Spain

Robin Le Normand is set to make his first Spain appearance having switched allegiance from France to La Roja, and he should partner Aymeric Laporte at the back.

While he starred in the Champions League final at the weekend, Rodri is tipped to start here.

 

Italy

Champions League final playing quarter Federico Dimarco, Alessandro Bastoni, Francesco Acerbi and Nicolo Barella are all expected to start for the Azzurri on Thursday.

Despite his inexperience on the international stage, Mateo Retegui is set to lead the line for Italy once more.

 

Prediction

Spain will look to bounce back from an indifferent start to Euro 2024 qualifying that has seen them win one and lose one of their opening two matches. They topped Group 2 with 11 points from six games, though Luis Enrique was the man in charge for these six games.

Italy, like Spain, also topped their group with 11 points, pipping Hungary to top spot in the final round of fixtures. And like Spain, the Azzurri have won one and lost one of their opening two Euro 2024 qualification matches.

After such a long season, this game is unlikely to be played at a high tempo, so a draw may be on the cards.

 

International Friendly-Indonesia VS Palestine

 

 

Indonesia played five games this year, three of which are official. Indonesia reached the semifinals of the OCEAN Championship, where they lost to Vietnam with a score of 0-2, after conceding a goal in the 3rd minute. In March, Shin Tae-Yong's squad played two friendly matches against Burundi, where they showed good attacking play 3-1 and 2-2.

 

this year Palestine held a meeting, which incidentally was also friendly. In March, met with the Bahraini national team and won in a hard fight with a score of 2:1. Uld Ali's squad last year placed first in the qualifying group and were selected for the Asian Cup. It should be noted that the team is approaching the upcoming encounter with a streak of four wins with a total score of 12-1.

 

Indonesia is a favourite. Indonesia has shown attacking football in friendlies, so they are unlikely to deviate from this tactic. Palestine will also try to attack, by risking their appearance in the Asian Cup.

Belarusian Premier League-Slavia Mozyr VS Naftan Novopolock

 

 

MATCH PREVIEW

Slavia Mozyr will play in this match after a 1-1 Premier League drawn match versus BATE Borisov.

 

Under three goals per match were recorded in 5 of the last 6 fixtures where Slavia Mozyr have been involved. Regarding the goal attribution during this period, their opponents scored an aggregate of 4 and Slavia Mozyr got themselves 8. We will see whether or not that trend can be sustained in this game.

 

Since a loss in their previous game against Isloch Minsk Raion in Premier League action, Naftan Novopolotsk and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

 

The strike force from Naftan Novopolotsk have been starved of goals over their last six clashes, recording the disappointing return of only 1. In those matches, Naftan have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 14.

 

PREDICTION

We’ve got the feeling that Slavia Mozyr should dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

 

At the same time, Naftan Novopolotsk may well find it hard to get a goal of their own but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be pulling one back during this clash, too. win for Slavia Mozyr at the conclusion of the game.

 

PICK HOME WIN

English Premier League-Liverpool VS Aston Villa

 

Despite what has been a disappointing Premier League campaign for Liverpool, the Reds have finally started to find some form in recent weeks, with eight successive league wins lifting them back to fifth and just one point behind Newcastle and Manchester Utd.

Aston Villa have also enjoyed a stellar form in the second half of the season however, back-to-back away defeats have left the Villains down to eighth, but still with a chance of a top-six finish depending on other results.

 

a straight but likely slim home win, and with Liverpool scoring back-to-back 1:0 wins against Fulham and Brentford over the last fortnight a similar tight result can be expected.

Australia A-League-Melbourne City VS Sydney FC

UEFA Champions League TIPS-Inter Milan VS AC Milan

 

 

Team Analysis :

A look at their past head to head meetings dating back to 01/03/2022 shows us that Inter Milan have won 4 of them & AC Milan 1, with the tally of draws being 1.

A combined sum of 14 goals were scored between the two sides throughout the course of those matches, with 11 of them for Nerazzurri and 3 belonging to i Rossoneri. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.33.

 

Odd Analysis :

Checking the latest betting odds for this match in the win-draw-win market, backing Inter Milan is best priced at 2.1, a bet on the draw is 3.42 & putting your money on the winner to be AC Milan can get you 3.75. They are the best of the returns on offer at this very moment.

 

Conculsion :

We think that AC Milan will have to play well to hit the back of the net against this Inter Milan outfit who will likely be able to grind out a win.

Spanish La Liga-Real Madrid VS Getafe

 

 

Real Madrid VS Getafe

 

Week 34 of Spain Primera La Liga match will bring together hosts Real Madrid to host Getafe at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid. Host Real Madrid has lost the opportunity to defend the La Liga crown after the defeat of Sociedad even Madrid must be shifted by city rivals Atletico Madrid to position 3, making Madrid even more burdened ahead of the Derby match because they have to go away to Manchester in midweek to defend the Champions League trophy, while Getafe's 3 consecutive defeats made Getafe slump to 18th place and in the remaining matches Getafe must win in order to survive in La Liga competition next season.

 

With an OU Handicap of 2.5 Madrid remain favourites to win but the Odds are dropping so sharply that tonight's Derby match will be a little difficult for Madrid who must divide their concentration for the second leg of the Champions League Semifinals, with a record of always winning from Getafe in 10 hours at the Bernabeu, The possibility of Madrid winning is quite open although it is not impossible that Madrid will donate points to their city mates to avoid the relegation zone, so there will not be many goals scored in this match because in the last 5 meetings there have never been more than two goals and Madrid will save some of their core players for the life and death match in Manchester.

 

Pick Under Goal 2.5

 

Score Prediction Real Madrid 1-1 Getafe

Spanish La Liga TIPS-Sevilla VS RCD Espanyol

 

Now that things are safe from the threat of relegation, the home side will likely be aiming for next week's Europa League semi-final against Juventus. Of course, Head Coach Mendilibar will be keen to avoid back-to-back defeats ahead of such an important clash, but one can't help but feel that a greater level of urgency for Espanyol could give them an advantage in this game.

 

However, the visitors have had to overcome a dismal away record, which has seen them lose each of their last five away fixtures. Espanyol have been consistent in the goals market, with ten of their last 11 La Liga away games, including each of the last five.

 

With Sevilla scoring over 2.5 goals in four of their last five home league outings, it is confident that the result can happen once again with almost even money odds.

England Championship tips:Rotherham United VS Burnley, title challenge at New York Stadium

 

 

Team Analysis

The continued match of the England League Championship will present an exciting match between Rotherham United and Burnley at New York Stadium. The remaining 5 weeks for Rotherham to secure a position from the relegation zone after the defeat of Luton Town Rotherham now occupies 18th place and is getting closer to the relegation zone, while Burnley, who has confirmed a promotion ticket to the Premier League, is now eyeing the League Championship champions and only needs 4 points for Burnley to seal the League Championship champions after stealing 1 point at Reading last weekend.

 

Odds Analysis

Handicap this match at +3/4, while OU at 2 1/2. Burnley excels the meeting record when meeting Rotherham, but Rotherham will certainly appear determined to stay away from the relegation zone, while Burnley is likely to combine core players with reserve players to increase the playing hours of the coating players, so there is a possibility that Rotherham will be able to steal points tonight.

 

Conclusion

Both teams are trying to achieve positive results in tonight's match, Rotherham are ambitious to stay away from the relegation zone while Burnley, who have pocketed promotion tickets, are ambitious to lock in the League Championship title.

 

I see both teams will appear more likely to play fast but the tough defence of both teams will make some opportunities wasted, Burnley will appear aggressive pressing Rotherham who will wait for the gap in Burnley's defence to steal goals, seeing the movement of the FT.2 Odds which is quite positive convinces Burnley will be able to win tonight, but Rotherham seems to be giving fierce resistance so there won't be many goals scored at the New York Stadium like in the last few matches of the two teams whose defence is so solid.

 

Pick Under Goal 2 1/2
