France Ligue 1 -- Paris Saint Germain (PSG) VS Lille

When Paris Saint Germain and Lille meet at Prince's Park on Friday, the league leaders will compete with the defending champions.

Although Messi, Neymar, Mbappe and others played on the field, the team still made a goalless draw with Marseille in Ligue 1 Derby last weekend, also they won RB Leipzig 3-2 in the Champions League last week. PSG have won 9 of the 11 league games and only lost one so far this season, which lead Lens by 7 points and still at the top of the table. The team have won all the seven games at home this season in all competitions, scoring two even more goals in each of these victories.

 

 

 

 

Lille played a 1-1 draw at home to Stade Brestois last game in the league. Although they had an early lead through the forward David, Lille showed a poor performance during the game. The defending champions only rank 10th after 11 matches with 4W-3D-4L and 15points, having won just four games since the beginning of this season. The team have already lost more matches this season than they did in the entirety of their last championship-winning season. Moreover, they lost four of the last five away games in all competitions.

Although These two teams met each other in the French Super Cup in August and a 1-0 win for Lille, and PSG did not score in three of the last four meetings with Lille, accoring to the current form of the defending champions, they should still be able to easily beat them and win with a few goals.

Spanish La Liga -- Real Madrid VS Osasuna

Real Madrid will aim to keep the momentum going from their dramatic 2-1 win over Barcelona. Despite failed to win in three games before the October international match day, Carlo Ancelotti's team have now won over Barcelonaand Shakhtar Donetsk, and the record of scoring 24 goals is unsurprisingly the highest in La Liga. Moreover, Real Madrid have remained an unbeaten record of 13 consecutive home games in the league, during which they have scored at least two goals in 10 of these games.

 

 

 

 

Osasuna in perfect state dropped two points in the game with Granada last round in the league. Although it was a bad way to end the weekend, pay attention to Osasuna's excellent start to the La Liga this season, they got 10 points their last four matches, making them rank the sixth place in the table after 10 games with 5W-3D-2L. The team have also beat Europa League winners Villarreal after the international match day.

 

Osasuna have lost 8 and drawn 1 of their last nine meetings with Real Madrid in all competitions. The perfect state of attackers of the home team can break their visitors' defense and may temporarily to the top position in the table.

England League Cup -- Preston North End vs Liverpool

A real buzz is expected in and around Deepdale on Wednesday evening when red-hot Liverpool come to visit Preston in the battle for a place in the League Cup quarterfinal.

 

 

Preston North End 

Winning their three games while netting 11 goals in that time, Preston North End brushed aside Mansfield Town, Morecambe and Cheltenham Town in the opening three rounds. Preston North End were denied a second win on the trot last Saturday as they fell to a 2-0 defeat away to Blackpool. Prior to that, they claimed a 2-1 victory over Coventry City on home turf to end their four-game winless run. 

 

 

 

 

Liverpool

With 21 points from nine games, Liverpool are currently second in the Premier League, one point behind Chelsea. They are yet to taste defeat across all competitions this season, picking up 10 wins and three draws. Liverpool stamped their name as firm league title favorites last time out as they steamrolled Manchester United 5-0 away last time out. Liverpool notched at least five goals in three of the last four away games across competitions.

 

Liverpool are obviously huge favorites for the win. As how many goals Liverpool are scoring away from home at the moment, just expect them continuing their remarkable run of netting three or more times on the road.

NBA -- Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks

NBA Central Division rivals will square off on Monday night, when the Milwaukee Bucks visit the Indiana Pacers.

 

The Indiana Pacers could very easily be 3-0 to start the season and rank fifth in the league in scoring (119.3 ppg). The Indiana Pacers are coming off a morale-boosting 102-91 win against Eastern Conference heavyweights Miami Heat, as four players scored more than 15 points in the game. Domantas Sabonis is averaging 26 points and 4.3 assists, while Malcolm Brogdon is averaging 24.7 points and 8.7 rebounds. Chris Duarte is the third double-digit scorer and Myles Turner is grabbing seven rebounds. The Indiana Pacers are averaging 119.3 points on 46.5 percent shooting and allowing 116.3 points on 44.5 percent shooting.

 

 

 

Milwaukee Bucks return their core and rank ninth in the league in scoring offense. Milwaukee Bucks inflicted a 121-111 loss upon the San Antonio Spurs in their last NBA game. They shot 53% from the field, showcasing incredible efficiency from all the areas of the court. Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 22.7 points and 10.7 rebounds, while Khris Middleton is averaging 19.3 points and 3.3 assists. The Milwaukee Bucks are averaging 114.3 points on 45.6 percent shooting and allowing 117.3 points on 48.7 percent shooting.

 

It should be a closely contested affair. But the Indiana Pacers come into the game on the back of a morale-boosting win, and they will back themselves to stage an upset against the defending champions. With home advantage, expect Indiana Pacers to eke out a narrow win.

English Premier League -- Manchester United VS Liverpool

Manchester United lost 2-4 to Leicester City in the last league game, which is the second defeat of the league this season after losing to Villa. At present, they rank 6th with 14 points, five points behind leader Chelsea, and are likely to further reduce the ranking. They beat Atlanta 3-2 in midweek in Champions League. Their only recent victory was due to the talent of a man in the last few minutes of the game——Ronaldo scored at the last minute to help the team win. It's rare for Manchester United to show strong defense in recent games. Ten goals were conceded in the previous six games.

 

 

 

 

Liverpool

First Manchester City, then Watford and Atletico Madrid's defense, which can't stop Liverpool's strong attack. Just last week, they beat Watford 5-0 in the league and then beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 in the Champions League. After the match against Atletico Madrid, the team has scored at least two goals in nine consecutive game. Since the beginning of the season, Liverpool, second in the ranking, has remained unbeaten in all games, one point behind leader Chelsea, and is the only team in the top league that has not lost a single game in the first eight games. Mohamed Salah has been in a hot state throughout the 2021-22 season and is expected to find at least one goal this weekend.

The last meeting between the two sides ended in Liverpool's 2-4 victory at the same place. Liverpool's goal achievement on the road is amazing. Although the roar of Old Trafford fans should encourage the host to score a few goals on Liverpool's defense, in view of Liverpool's excellent performance and achievements this season, we predict that Liverpool will win this difficult game.

English Premier League -- Arsenal VS Aston Villa

Arsenal enters the game after the 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace in the last round. At the end of the game, Alexandre Lacazette's goal helped the team end in a 2-2 draw. The Gunners are unbeaten in five Premier League games and six all games, ranking 12th out of eight games after Monday's deadlock. Arsenal has lost only one of their last six League games at Emirates Stadium and has taken seven points from their last nine home games. The quality of Arsenal's defence has been obvious, conceding only three goals in the past six games.

 

 

 

 

Although Villa does have good strength, their stability is too poor. In September, they almost eliminated Chelsea in the League Cup and beat Manchester United in Premier League. But now they have lost to Tottenham and Wolves. In the last round, they were reversed by their opponents with three goals in a row when they were two goals ahead, and the problem of the defense was exposed. Villa won only two of their six games before Friday's game and found themselves one point and one place lower than Arsenal in the ranking.

 

Although Arsenal's state has declined slightly, it is still better than villa, which has been defeated in a row and reversed by others. Moreover, Arsenal is at home and has given some concessions to Arsenal in terms of data. Under various signs, there is still a great chance for home team to win the battle.

UEFA Europa League -- Real Betis VS Bayer Leverkusen

Real Betis is a middle-upper level team in La Liga. They have just defeated Alavés and returned to winning track, whose morale has been improved to a certain extent. Moreover, the team is good at home combat. The unbeaten rate in the past ten home games has reached 80%. At present, they rank the top with Leverkusen with the same 6 points, so this game may be the battle to determine the first place of the list.

 

 

 

 

Leverkusen has just been beaten by Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, but this does not affect the next European game. The team has performed well on the offense recently, scoring goals in ten consecutive games, and five players in the lineup have scored goals in Europa League. In addition to losing the last game, the overall state is relatively stable.

 

 

As the strength gap between the two sides is not large, considering that Real Betis enjoys the advantage of the home court. However, from the current performance of both sides, it is not ruled out that there will be a draw. Real Betis has a greater chance to be unbeaten.
