English Premier League -- Manchester United vs Arsenal

Manchester United

The Red Devils took a point from their meeting with league leaders Chelsea in the last league game. They are eighth with 18 points in the table - three place and five points behind their upcoming opponents - and home is not the recent advantage of the Reds. Manchester United have taken just one point from their last four Premier League games at the Theatre of Dreams - scoring only one goal in that time. Rangnick will be the interim manager and will work as a consultant for the club in the future.

 

 

 

 

Arsenal

The Gunners beat Newcastle United 2-0 in the last league game. After West Ham United lost to Manchester City, Arteta's team are now in line with West Ham United in fourth place. Arsenal have undoubtedly benefited from the rare absence of European football this season. Before losing to Liverpool, they kept three consecutive clean sheets away from home, although the away goals were insignificant, second only to Norwich City in the league. 

 

Prediction

Arsenal have remained unbeaten in the last six Premier League games against Manchester United and have not conceded a goal against the Red Devils since September 2019, but Saka's absence and Aubameyang's mistakes did make Arsenal's shocking lack of away goals, we predicted Arsenal at least get one point in this game. 

NBA -- Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets travel to the FTX Arena to do battle with the Miami Heat on Monday night.  

Miami Heat 

The Miami Heat have won six of their first seven home games and trail Brooklyn by one full game for the best record in the Eastern Conference. On Saturday, Miami Heat made the plays down the stretch of a 107-104 road victory against Chicago. The Heat (13-7) knocked down 14-for-40 from the three-point line and shot 43 percent overall. Jimmy Butler is averaging 23.6 points and 5.3 assists, while Tyler Herro is averaging 21.8 points and 5.7 rebounds. The Miami Heat are averaging 108.7 points on 46.1 percent shooting and allowing 102.5 points on 43.3 percent shooting.

 

 

 

 

Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets (9-10) are looking to snap a six-game losing streak and are currently in tenth place in the Western Conference standings. On Friday, Denver allowed Milwaukee to shoot a blistering 63 percent from the field during a 120-109 home loss. Nikola Jokic is averaging 26.4 points and 13.6 rebounds, while Will Barton is averaging 16.3 points and 5.4 rebounds. The Denver Nuggets are averaging 102.8 points on 45.5 percent shooting and allowing 103.5 points on 46.4 percent shooting.

Miami G Tyler Herro did not play in Saturday’s victory due to his illness and is listed as questionable for this game. However, the Heat still are an efficiency machine and will win at home.

English Premier League -- Chelsea vs Manchester United

After the 1-1 draw with Burnley before the international match day, Thomas Tuchel's team's fate in the Premier League also improved as the shining Blues beat Leicester City 3-0 at King Power. Then the Champions League holders beat Juventus 4-0 at Stamford Bridge. The victory over Juventus marked Chelsea's ninth victory in nearly 10 games. The league leaders still led Manchester City by three points and concede four of the league's lowest goals in the whole season - but three of them have come at home.

 

 

 

 

Manchester United are currently seven places and 12 points behind Chelsea. No Manchester United fan needs to remind Ole Gunnar Solskjaer how his rule achieved the worst results in Watford in the last Premier League game. Solskjaer lost five of his last seven Premier League games at Manchester United. Fortunately, Michael Carrick led the Red Devils to win the much-needed Champions League knockout seat in the 2-0 victory over Villarreal in midweek.

 

History may be on the side of the Red Devils because they have been unbeaten in the last seven Premier League games against Chelsea. But now Tuchel's team have shown an unstoppable momentum, Chelsea should should have no problem ending their winless record against the Red Devils.

England Championship -- West Bromwich(WBA) vs Nottingham Forest

West Bromwich got 22 points from their first 10 Championship games this season, which showed that the head coach had made the right technical tactics. However, they have just grabbed 11 points in last nine matches, the most recent disappointment was a goalless draw with Blackpool. They currently rank 3rd in the league table with 33 points, eight points behind Bournemouth.

 

 

 

 

Nottingham Forest's performance this season is not ideal. So far, the team have achieved 6W-6D-7L after 19 rounds of league matches. They currently rank 13th in the league list with 24 points. Their home performance is poor, but they perform better away, with an unbeaten rate of 78%. Nottingham Forest have remained unbeaten away in the past 7 champions league matches and won 4 victories.

 

In terms of historical confrontation performance, West Bromwich kept unbeaten against Nottingham Forest for the past four times, slightly occupying a psychological advantage. Coupled with the home advantage in this game, West Bromwich is worth looking forward to win.

Spanish La Liga -- Athletic Bilbao vs Granada CF

Athletic Bilbao drew Levante 0-0 in the last round and achieved a winless record of 3D-1L in the last four rounds of the league, whose state has declined compared with some time ago. Their defense has two main international players of the Spanish national team, Iñigo Martínez and Simeón. They have only conceded 8 goals in the league so far, and the number of goals conceded is the lowest currently in La Liga. However, only 11 goals were scored in the first 13 rounds of the league by them, whose the attack power is not satisfactory.

 

 

 

 

Granada have lost to RCD Espanyol on the road and suffered a disastrous defeat to Real Madrid at home in the last two rounds, and the team scored only one goal and conceded six goals, whose defense exposes many loopholes. What's more unfavorable for Granada is that their away game has never been their strength for having only won Levant who are at the bottom of the table in the last nine league away games.

 

The recent state of the two teams is relatively low, but Athletic Bilbao are obviously dominant in the overall strength, and they have the upper hand in home field in this game. Therefore, it is predicted that Athletic Bilbao will win this event.

UEFA Europa League -- Leicester City vs Legia Warszawa

The UEFA Europa League returns this weekend and will see Leicester City host Legia Warsaw at the King Power Stadium on Thursday.

 

Leicester City

Leicester City sit third in the group with five points. They have not delivered their best performances in this competition and are winless in their last 3 games across all competitions. A 2-2 draw against Napoli in their first game was followed by a 1-0 loss to Legia Warsaw. The Foxes then picked up their first win, beating Spartak Moscow 4-3 before drawing 1-1 against the same opponents in their last Europa game.

 

 

 

Legia Warszawa 

Currently crashing and burning in defence of their Ekstraklasa title this term, Legia Warszawa have managed to stay in 2nd position, a point clear of Leicester City for this week.  Legia Warszawa started the season with 1-0 wins against Moscow and this foe in away and home games respectively. They have since lost by 3 goals to Napoli both home and away as they were beaten 4-1 by Napoli last time out in Group C. 

 

Leicester City have been far from their best in the Europa League so far. However, Legia Warszawa have picked up just one win in their last nine games across all competitions. Judging by recent form, the hosts should pick up three points on Thursday.

UEFA Champions League -- Sheriff Tiraspol vs Real Madrid

Sheriff are one of the most surprising teams in the Champions League this season. They beat Donetsk and Real Madrid in the first two rounds. However, due to the strength gap between them and the strong teams, the team were defeated by Inter twice in a row. They currently rank 3rd in the group, are only three point gap from the second Inter Milan, and there is still hope to qualify. The winning rate of the last 10 games of them has reached 80%. But Sheriff have conceded up to 7 goals in the previous four rounds of group games, and the loopholes in defense are large.

 

 

 

Real Madrid have continued to maintain their strength recently. After the 4-1 away victory over Granada in the last round of the league, they have achieved 6W-1D in nearly seven matches, surpassing Real Sociedad by one point and ranking the top of the league. In the Champions League, although Real Madrid had lost before, they quickly recovered their state and won two games in a row. Now they have reached the top of the group state. They can lock a qualification as long as winning this game. Benzema has scored 14 goals this season and Vinícius has scored 10 goals. Both of them are in excellent condition. But Hazard, Rodrigo and others continued to miss the game due to injury.

 

The recent state of the two teams looks quite good, but there is always a wide gap in overall strength. The data gives strong support to Real Madrid in the away game from the beginning, completely ignoring Sheriff's victory at the Bernabeu. This game is optimistic about Real Madrid's victory.
