Emirates Stadium Cup -- Arsenal vs Sevilla Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

On Saturday afternoon, the 11th edition of the Emirates Cup will be played as Arsenal host Sevilla in North London for their last preseason match.

 

Arsenal

Arsenal defeated Ipswich Town, Everton, Nuremberg, and Orlando City before again outscoring Chelsea by four goals in a preseason romp earlier this month. New acquisitions Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko have already had the anticipated impact. In five of the previous 10 Emirates Cup competitions, the Arsenal won the title.

 

Sevilla

Sevilla finished in second place In 2017 Emirates Stadium Cup. The team began their preseason campaign against Arsenal's fiercest rivals Tottenham Hotspur in South Korea, drawing 1-1 with the Lilywhites before defeating Sporting CP in the Trofeu Cinco Violinos on penalties. Goals were also plentiful in the midweek match as well.

 

Prediction

Arsenal have a penchant for offensive displays during preseason. They shouldn't be able to keep Lopetegui's team at bay since they still occasionally commit defensive errors, but Arteta's re-energized team is capable of responding to win the Emirates Cup.

 

 

Pick: 1

International Club Friendly -- Everton vs Dynamo Kyiv Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Everton will host Dynamo Kiev for their friendly on Friday at Goodison Park as the start of the Premier League season approaches.

 

Everton

The Toffees defeated Championship team Blackpool last time out to record their first victory of the series of friendlies after suffering back-to-back losses. Everton will be aiming for significant gains in the forthcoming term after only just surviving relegation from the Premier League at the end of the previous campaign, ultimately finishing 16th, four points clear of 18th-placed Burnley.

 

Dynamo Kyiv

With a victory over Fenerbahce in the second leg, Dynamo Kyiv most recently progressed through the Champions League qualifying round. In 2021–22, Kyiv were unable to even finish the league season. Up before the tournament's cancellation, they had only suffered one loss and were just two points behind the leaders.

 

Prediction

As a result of their success on the continent, Dynamo Kiev will travel with momentum. However, Everton will be eager to win at home one more time before the start of the league season, and I predict that they will win at Goodison Park.

 

 

Pick: 1

UEFA Europa Conference League / Elfsborg vs Molde Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Their next Conference League Qualifiers meeting on Thursday will see IF Elfsborg go into battle with Molde FK.

 

Elfsborg

Fixtures involving IF Elfsborg have proved to be exciting encounters recently with high scoring being a real hallmark. Over their past half dozen clashes alone, the sum of 20 goals have flown in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 8 of them being chalked up by IF Elfsborg. Historical results aside, we will just have to wait and see whether such a trend will be replicated here in this match.

 

Molde

Molde FK go into this meeting after a 2-3 Eliteserien win in the defeat of Sandefjord in their last match. Erling Moe's Molde FK have fired home 14 times throughout their previous sextet of matches. The number of goals that they have conceded during those matches adds up to 5.

 

Verdict:

Molde are in excellent form with 14 wins and 2 draws in their last 16 matche. The 1x2 first odds is 2.30-3.40-2.70, seems lacked of confidence to the home team. Molde should take points in this game.

 

Molde+0.25

EAFF East Asian Cup - Japan vs South Korea Betting Tips

 

Analysis:

Japan will go head to head with South Korea on Wednesday’s EAFF East Asian Cup.

 

Japan

Japan easily defeated Hong Kong with 6-0 in the first round, showing a better competitive state, but in the last round they were drawn by China with a goalless draw. Now they are ranking 2nd on League table with 1 win and 1 draw, 2 points behind of South Korea.

 

South Korea

In last round against Honk Kong, South Korea took upper hand and won with 3-0. They have scored 6 goals totally in 2 rounds on EAFF East Asian Cup, and kept clean sheet in these games, being in excellent offenses and defenses.

 

Verdict:

Japan claimed 3W-3D-4L in last 10 meetings against South Korea. Both sides kept clean sheet in last 2 rounds in this competition, but the Asian Handicap first odd of this game, Japan -0/0.5, is too low to support them enough, so I think South Korea would win the odd.

 

AH Pick: South Korea+0/0.5

UEFA Champions League - AEK Larnaca Vs Midtjylland Prediction

 

 

Pick:AH  Midtjylland (-0.5)  @1.90

 

Analysis:

AEK Larnaca

Undoubtedly, One would have excluded AEK Larnaca from this competition, but their performance in Denmark past week just amazed the faithful. The match ended 1-1 after Midtjylland were held on their home soil, the game seems to be as open as it can get. AEK Larnaca have drawn their last 3 games, in all competitions. In this game, Kenan Piric, Nenad Tomovic, left-winger Adam Gyurcso and left-back Angel Garcia, are the four key players to lookout for.

 

Midtjylland

Midtjylland, should never be underestimated. They were just purely unlucky to not achieve a win and utilize their advantage in the first leg. Their performance were valiantly matched by their opponent, but nevertheless, some of their players are absolutely at their peak and will feature in this upcoming match.

 

Verdict: Midtjylland will put in more effort to make sure they win this match

 

BTTS: Yes

​International Club Friendly -- Gamba Osaka vs Paris Saint Germain (PSG) Game Preview

 

Analysis:

On Monday, Paris Saint-Germain will play in their final preseason match against Gamba Osaka in Japan.

 

Gamba Osaka

Gamba Osaka are taking a vacation from its J-League campaign. Tomohiro Katanosaka could think that the vacation is much-needed for a club that has dropped its past four games in the domestic league. Gamba Osaka are in 16th place in the league standings with just 22 points after 21 games played, two points above last-place Jubilo Iwata.

 

Paris Saint Germain (PSG)

Galtier will feel more accomplished knowing that his team performed quite well against Quevilly-Rouen, Kawasaki Frontale in their friendly games. They most recently played Urawa Red Diamonds on Saturday, and the final score was 3-0. PSG will also play Nantes the following Sunday in the Trophee des Champions.

 

Prediction

Galtier are likely to make a number of changes, but this shouldn't affect the outcome. We anticipate a straightforward victory for the French giants since both seasoned players and up-and-coming talents will want to impress.

 

 

Pick: PSG -2 in AH / Over 3.5 Goals

International Club Friendly - Manchester United vs Aston Villa Prediction

 

 

Pick:1x2  Manchester United  @1.67

 

Analysis:

Manchester United will square off Aston Villa on Saturday’s Friendly meeting.

 

Manchester United

The Red Devils managed to beat Liverpool, Melbourne Victory and Crystal Palace in their three pre-season fixtures in this summer. They show sharpe attack with scoring 11 goals totally in these matches. The team will kick off their 2022-23 Premier League campaign at home against Brighton on August 7 and it will be interesting to see how Manchester United perform in the new season as they had only finished sixth in 2021-22 season.

 

Aston Villa

Aston Villa begin to prepare the new season since July. They have achieved a good record in the three Friendly matches by overcoming Walsall, Leeds United and Brisbane Roar. They finished their last season with 14th position, with picking 45 points in 38 rounds.

This will be an exciting meeting. Man Utd took upper hand in past 10 meetings with Villa. I will be backing the Red Devils who have good run on their attack.
