LaLiga --Levante vs Valencia

 Kick off:20:00

Date: Mon, 20-Dec-21

 

Levante's dreadful season continued last weekend in pretty dramatic fashion when they blew two leads to lose 4-3 to Espanyol, setting a new record after making it 25 La Liga games without a win.

Since then, they have also dropped out of the Copa del Rey after drawing 3-3 with Valencian region minnows Alcoyano before losing on penalties.

 

Las Granotas remain rooted to the bottom of the table, seven points from safety and that's despite having one of the most talented squads in the lower echelons of the table.

 

Valencia come into the Valencia derby on the back of a controversial 2-1 win over regional rivals Elche thanks to goals from Goncalo Guedes and Cristiano Piccini. Elche did score a second goal in that one, but VAR didn't spot that it had gone over the line, and with no goal-line technology, Valencia got away with one. They have also won in the Copa del Rey since, beating Arenteiro after extra time.

 

Those wins followed a victory over Celta Vigo and a draw with Rayo Vallecano, so there is a good feeling around Mestalla, despite head coach Jose Bordalas not being present for this one after contracting coronavirus.

 

Bordalas' men should continue their winning ways here to deepen Levante's misery and claim the bragging rights.

 

Prediction

Levante 1-3 Valencia

On Tuesday night, Manchester City will seek their seventh consecutive win in Premier League and welcome Leeds United to the Etihad Stadium. 

 Manchester City

 Guardiola's team beat Wolves 1-0 on Saturday. Raheem Sterling's penalty (his hundredth Premier League goal) confirmed their position at the top of the table - one point higher than Liverpool and two points ahead of Chelsea. The defending champions have conceded only three league goals at Etihad this season - keeping clean sheets six times.

Leeds United 

 Leeds United lost to Chelsea 3-2 away last time out. For the team, coming back empty-handed was undoubtedly a cruel way - ranking 15th and 6 points from the relegation zone in the table. Losing to Chelsea is only the second defeat of Leeds United in their past eight top-league games, But so far, they have won only once in last eight travels. 

 Prediction 

 Leeds United conceded too much away from home. So the Manchester City should continue to dominate at home as a winner on Tuesday. 

 Pick: Manchester City 

 Total: Under 3.5 goals

AS Roma

After the 0-3 loss to Inter Milan in the last league game, Roma have suffered 4 defeats in their last six league games. Mourinho's sides fell to the seventh-placed in the league table as a consequence. However, Spezia's visit should really provide a great chance for Roma to rebound. For their 2-3 away success over CSKA Sofia - ensuring the team's place in the last-16 spots in Europa Conference League.

Spezia

Spezia have been winless in four consecutive league games (1D-3L) after the 2-2 draw with Sassuolo last time out. The team have the worst defensive performance in Serie A with 36 goals conceded in 16 games. They are also one of the weakest visitors for a record of 1W-1D-6L from eight away contests this season, conceding as many as 25 goals in the process.

Prediction

Although often receive the defeats from the clubs at the top of the table, Roma are usually efficient against the bottom teams - particularly at home.

Pick: AS Roma

Final Result: 2-1

UEFA Champions League -- Manchester United vs Young Boys

Manchester United are in action against BSC Young Boys in Wednesday’s big Champions League clash.

Manchester United have secured a spot in the last 16 already and are also guaranteed to finish top of the group. Manchester United sit top of the group with 10 points from five games. After a shock 2-1 loss to Young Boys in their first game, the English club went on a four-game unbeaten run, winning three times and drawing once. Manchester United have scored the most number of goals in Group F, and have conceded the least as well.

 

 

 

Young Boys sit bottom of the group with four points. Young Boys beat Manchester United 2-1 in their first game before going on a three-game losing streak, once to Atalanta and twice to Villarreal. They then held the Bergamo club to a 3-3 draw in their last game. Young Boys have scored the least and have conceded the most number of goals in the Group.

 

Manchester United have been given a new lease of life since the departure of Ole Gunnar Solksjaer last month. Young Boys have been in poor form of late, winning just one of their last eight games across all competitions. It’s believed that Manchester United will pick up a consecutive win under Ralf Rangnick.

English Premier League -- Manchester United vs Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace journey to Old Trafford on Sunday for the Premier League fixture with home team Manchester United.

 

Thursday's success over Arsenal moved Manchester United into seventh spot in the league table, three points behind fourth-placed West Ham United at the moment and have struggled this season. In spite of all their problems, United showed fighting spirit in recording a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge in the last match-day. So far, not once have the Man United kept a clean sheet at home this season. They had let in a total of nine goals from the last three appearances at home.

 

 

 

 

Crystal Palace are in 11th place in the Premier League standings. They have won three, drawn seven and lost four of their 14 matches to collect 16 points. Crystal are on a three-game winless run in England's top flight, losing their last two matches against Aston Villa and Leeds United, in addition to drawing 3-3 at Burnley on November 20. However, have endured a minor slump in recent weeks and suffered a 1-0 defeat against Leeds United in their midweek fixture.

 

Crystal Palace have a total of only four wins on the road in 2021 and they have an inferior h2h record against Manchester United over the years. Considering these facts, expect a win for Manchester United at home.

German Bundesliga -- Union Berlin vs RB Leipzig

Union Berlin will hope to recover from their last-minute 2-1 defeat to Frankfurt last weekend. Union remain strong at home - four of the league's five league victories this season were at home and won the Berlin Derby two weeks ago in front of their supporters. Union currently find themselves in sixth and only two points behind the Champions League spots.

 

 

 

 

Leipzig lost Leverkusen 3-1 in the last league game. The most worrying thing is Die Roten Bullen's away record. Before another away trip this weekend, the team's away record is winless in six consecutive away game since the start of this season in the league - three draws and the same number of defeats, scoring only three goals, is a disastrous record for the so-called champion challenger, and a problem that Marsch will solve in the near future.

 

The Union's excellent home record, coupled with Leipzig's poor away performance. Not many people get points from An der Alten Forsterei, and considering the visiting team's trouble in covid-19, Union Berlin will be confident of winning.

England Championship -- Fulham vs Bournemouth AFC

Fulham made a 1-1 draw with Preston in the last match-day at away. They are on a record with nine consecutive unbeaten games, and in the process they had also got a seven-game winning run. Fulham also won seven of the past ten matches at home, and have lost just once since May.

 

 

 

 

Bournemouth have drawn 2-2 with Coventry in the last game. They have been unbeaten in 18 of the past 21 games and have scored two or more goals in seven of the past 10 games. Mitrovic and Bournemouth forward Dominic Solanke totally scored 36 goals in the League this season.

 

This weekend's victory will be an important indicator of who will become the title, and we are likely to expect the two teams to get three points at all costs. The last confrontation between these tow sides ended with Fulham winning 0-1. We forecast Fulham will be unbeaten and hold the top spot.
