UEFA Champions League Preview- Liverpool vs Benfica

 

 

Pick:1x2   Liverpool @1.30

 

Analysis:

At Anfield Liverpool's playoff against Benfica on Wednesday.

 

Liverpool

After a straight win against Benfica 3-1 first leg away and have not lost at home to Portuguese opposition since 2005/06 so losing is not allowed. Liverpool playing at a good performance after a draw-in to the title race 2-2 against Man City in the league at the weekend. Liverpool haven't lost in 6 matches with more goals both home and away (W4, D1)

 

Benfica

The weekend match against Belenenses 3-1 defeat and they had the advantage of being able to rest some of their players against the second leg champion league at Anfield. Benfica is going to face one of the toughest clubs at Anfield with history offering lttle hope, as Benfica have won just one quarter-final away leg in any UEFA competition (W1, D2, L6) with the heaviest defect (1-4) in 2009/10 Europa League trip to Anfield.

 

Verdict

Benfica knows how difficult the match is going to be so they rested their players for the hope. .

Liverpool is at the focus of winning the league title, FA Cup, and champion league.

 

 

Pick: Over 2.5

UEFA Champions League Preview: Bayern Munchen VS Villarreal

 

 

Pick:OU  Over (3.5) @2.03

 

Analysis:

Bayern Munchen welcomes Vllarreal to Allianz Arena in the Champions League quarter final

second leg, on Tuesday night.

 

Bayern Munchen

The Bravarians lost away to the yellow submarine by a goal margin. In what was their first Champions League away defeat in years. Thanks to Danjuma's goal that gave the visitors here the ultimate victory. But Unai Emery's men should get complesant as a goal difference isn't much to worry the former 2013 champions league holders. The last weekend match saw the Breavarians winning by a lone goal. Thanks to Lewandoski penalty in the closing hours of the game. Nagelsmann should have a fully fit squad to match on to victory in this encounter. Although Bayern haven't gone past this stage since 2014/2015 season and all their lost came from Spanish opponents.

 

Villarreal

Villarreal are well prepared to enter this encounter after a first leg 1-0 win over the host. Yellow flags were waving around the Ceramica stadium last week Wednesday as they had a mountain to climb and climbed it really good with a victory. Although The yellow submarines shouldn't let that get into their head, because a goal advantage is nothing compared to what happened to Salzburg with a thumping of 7-1 after a 2-2 draw in the first leg of that encounter. Villarreal drew Athletico Bilbao 1-1 as few players where rotated and some rested for this encounter.

 

Verdict:

After the first leg ended in a defeat for the host here. They will think twice to get prepared for this encounter as they would love to progress to the semis where either Benfica or Liverpool would be waiting. Vllarreal are prepared for this one but i don't see them getting past this stage as they haven't gotten to the semis in over a decade.

Pick:1x2     Bologna @2.20

 

Analysis:

Bologna goes head to head against Sampdoria on Monday at Stadio Renato Dall Ara.

 

Bologna

Last Monday, Bologna draw their match against Milan at San Siro despite facing 33 shot attempts. Won one match in their last six matches(W1, D3, L2), Bologna now has the same record they did last season after 30 league matches( W9, D7, L14) third consecutive 12th place finish.

Sampdoria

2nd biggest chances were created in the competition (13) and have had a bad run after a defeat 1-0 from Roma.

fighting to stay away from the relegation zone.

English Premier League Preview -- Everton vs Manchester United

 

 

Pick:1x2     Manchester United @1.78

 

Analysis:

Everton will welcome Manchester United at Goodison Park on Saturday's Premier League.

 

Everton

As for Everton, the state of this season is very sluggish. Even if the coach is changed, there is no improvement at all. After 29 rounds, they have only won 7 games, and they are currently ranked 17th in the Premier League standings with 25 points. The advantage of leading the relegation zone is only 1 point. They must fight for getting out of relegation.

 

Manchester United

Atnogh Manchester uited has iveste heavily in sging this season, sucssesly introducing three superstars like Sancho,'Cristiano Ronaldo and Varane, and even changing the coach, for now Manchester United's performance is sill worse than expected. After being tied by Leicester city in the last round, Manchester United has now fallen out of top six. Although it is only 3 points away from the Champions League qualifying,it is sill competitive. The Red Devils must win every game in the folowing matches.

 

Prediction:

Both sides are not in good forms,but Mancester United took upper hand on overall strength and had advantages in past 7 head to head battles. So Manchester United may win.

Australia A-League Prediction: Adelaide United vs FC Macarthur

 

 

Pick:AH   FC Macarthur (0/+0.5) @2.05

 

Analysis:

Adelaide United will meet FC Macarthur for the fixture on Australia A-League.

 

Adelaide United

Adelaide United's performances since this season have been unsteady, and lately it's clear they've fallen into a trough again. In the last few matches, Adelaide United's opponents are not very strong, but they only have a record of 1 draw and 3 losses. And if they lose this round, Adelaide United is likely to fall out of the championship playoff group, so I believe they still have a certain desire to rebound.

 

FC Macarthur

Although MacArthur FC is currently ranked 3rd in the standings, the overall performance gap between them and Adelaide United is not very big. The loss was stopped in time after the 4-2 home victory over Perth Glory. At present, the advantages of MacArthur FC ahead of behind teams are very small, and there is a possibility of falling out of the championship playoff group at any time. However, it should be noted that MacArthur FC's away performance has been significantly poor recently, with only 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 5 away matches.

 

Prediction:

Both sides are in close strength, but Adelaide United are in tiring offenses, and their defenses are not stable enough, while FC Macarthur improved their morale by a big win in last round. And for the 1X2 odds trend, the live away win return is lower, so here predict FC Macarthur would be unbeatable in this round.

UEFA Europa League Prediction- RB Leipzig VS Atalanta

Pick:1x2   RB Leipzig @1.83

 

Analysis:

UEFA Europa League Quarter Final is coming this week. RB Leipzig and Atalanta will make a

good start for us at Red Bull Arena.

 

RB Leipzig

They get back into their form gradually under the management of Domenico Tedesco. In the

last game, they win over Borussia Dortmund 1-4, getting a five-match unbeaten run recently.

In addition, as Spartak Moscow have been out of the League, they get more time to prepare

for the upcoming game.

 

Atalanta

There is not enough quality for them to play Europa League and Italian Serie A at the same

time. It took lots of their effort in the 1/8 Final but just got two narrow victories over Bayer

Leverkusen. As they rank seventh in Italian Serie A, with lttle chance to qualify for European

games next season, undoubtedly they will try their best in the coming match.

 

Verdict:

They did not meet each other in recent years. RB Leipzig are slightly better than Atalanta.

Besides, RB Leipzig have a home advantage. It is believed that RB Leipzig have made great

preparation for the upcoming game.

J-League Division 1 - Sagan Tosu vs Consadole Sapporo Prediction

Pick:1x2  Consadole Sapporo @2.68

 

Analysis:

Tosu Stadium will witness a game between Sagan Tosu and Consadole Sapporo on Wednesday.

 

Sagan Tosu

There is been a big change of the team. It takes time for them to get used to their new formation. Surprisingly, they have not suffered any defeat this season yet. They are eighth at the table of the League, without any threat of relegation.

 

Consadole Sapporo

They bring in several experienced players such as Gabriel Augusto Xavier, Daigo NISHI and Shinzo Koroki and so on to make up for the departure of Chanathip Songkrasin. So far, they get 6 draws, with both one scoring and conceding goal on average.

 

Verdict:

Consadole Sapporo take the upper hand over Sagan Tosu in past head to head clashes with 6W-3D-1L. In addition, Sagan Tosu suffer from injuries. So the traveller have the trend to win in the coming match.
