UEFA Europa Conference League - Viborg Vs West Ham United Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Viborg will go face to face West Ham United in another fixture from the Europa Conference League qualification finals on 24, August at Viborg's home ground, Energi Viborg Arena.

 

Viborg

Viborg have not even been one of the top teams in their national league over the past year but the team definitely improved since the start of the new year and campaign. Last season, Viborg finished in 7th position while this season, they will definitely be fighting for the championship. They are a strong side with an extremely better attack and their main stronghold is in playing at home. West Ham United will not have an easy task in this second leg fixture.

 

West Ham United

West Ham United have been re-building and remolding for a while now and we have seen the fruits of their hard work. They had a great first half of the previous season and we expected them to fight for the Champions League spots. They failed but still get a chance to play in the UEFA Europa Conference League with a win here. The team has problems in defense line also problems in attack too despite all the new signings.

 

Verdict:

it is rather, not worth hoping on West Ham United to win this match after a 3-1 victory in the first match and their current overall shape. West Ham United at the moment have been struggling a lot. The team is among three teams in the first five divisions of England that have not yet scored a single goal after three rounds of the new season. They managed to score three against Viborg but their form is absolutely terrible. On the other side, Viborg have not lost a match at home ground since February. There is a lot of value in the home double chance here.

England League Cup - Leeds United vs Barnsley Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Leeds will play against Barnsley for England League Cup Round 2 at Elland Road Stadium on Wednesday.

 

Leeds United

Although there has been a significant lineup change, they work well together and communicate well, beating Wolves, Southampton, and Chelsea. It is a good chance for them to succeed. That won't be missed.

 

Barnsley

They are still performing poorly this season despite being demoted from the English Championship. They now hold the sixteenth spot in the League rankings. They won't put much effort into the Cup because they don't play well as guests and need some time to adjust themselves.

 

Verdict:

Leeds are in form while Barnsley are in a poor state. Besides, Leeds take the upper hand over Barnsley in the past head to head games with a four-match winning streak. Thus Leeds will probably win in the coming match.

 

Pick: Leeds United -1.75

UEFA Europa Conference League - APOEL Nicosia vs Djurgardens Preview and Prediction

 

Analysis:

APOEL Nicosia will be faced with Djurgardens in the second leg of the playoff qualifier on Europa Conference League.

 

APOEL Nicosia

APOEL Nicosia have won the Cypriot Premier League champions for 28 times, but they only finished third last season. In the first leg of this contest, they suffered a 0-3 defeat at Djurgardens.

 

Djurgardens

Djurgardens have had 15 match unbeaten run in all competitions after they drew Varbergs BoIS FC with 2-2 in last League game. On their domestic League, they had an 11-5-3 record and led the League table with 38 points.

 

Verdict:

Djurgardens have won twelve of their 15 unbeaten matches and will protect a three goal advantage from the first leg. My prediction is Djurgardens to win.

 

1X2 Pick: 2

Italian Serie A - AS Roma vs Cremonese

 

 

Analysis:

Series A, 22 Aug 2022, 17:30 UK Time,- AS Roma and Cremonese will play against each other at Stadio Olimpico(Roma).

 

AS Roma

Under the management of Jose Mourinho, Roma has made it so far in the league, and their matches have been impressive to the fan. Roma made a summer signing to improve their striking force and they won their last match. The team has the chance to win against Cremonese in tomorrow's game as they have done since 1996.

 

Cremonese

They are facing a tough team Roma and their previous meeting has not been so great. They lost their last match even with the heavy scoring goals but remain low when they play against Roma. Hopefully, they score or even take the chance.

 

Verdict

Roma has not played against the team since 1996 and hopefully, they still got what it takes to secure the win but will not be easy for them.

 

Pick: 1

 

Prediction: UNDER 4.5

English Premier League - Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Crystal Palace

Season after season, Crystal Palace is not in the first half of the table in the English Premier League, but they still routinely manage their best to stay in the elite. It is much possible that it will be the same occurrence this season because they showed quality performance in the previous round by drawing 1-1 against Liverpool FC. Not a many predicted that Crystal Palace would be able end their losing streak against Liverpool but They were well organised and frustrated Klopp and co-players. An effort from Zaha against the run of play put Crystal Palace 1-0 up at the halftime and things went from bad to worse for the Liverpool in the 57th-minutes when Darwin Nunez was shown a straight red card. However, shortly after that, Diaz leveled for Liverpool and Crystal Palace had to see out the remaining time to make sure they took home a share of the spoils. The season is long, but it seems that some players such as Eze and Zaha can be of great support.

 

Aston Villa

Aston Villa had great ambitions last season, but it was noticeable that they burned themselves out in too much desire. This season Aston Villa is once again very competitive. Aston Villa were given much of a test by Everton last outing, well, not in the first half at least, as Ings scored just after the half-hour mark to put the home side 1-0 up at the break. Everton created the better chances in the second half but a goal from substitute Buendia put Villa 2-0 up 4-minutes from time. Everton continued to push forward and pulled a goal back via an own goal from their former player Digne and the visitors nearly pitched a point at the death but Villa held on to see out their 2-1 victory. With the victory over Everton, they made up for the loss against Bournemouth in the last round.

 

Verdict:

Both matches of the Crystal Palace at the beginning of the season ended in a low scoring. The last time when these both teams met final score was 1-1 and something similar is expected here. Aston Villa comes to London with at least one point and should not be expected to push too hard in attack. One point would be enough for both teams, so a home win double chance will be very good alternative option in this match.

 

O/U Goals: Under 2.5 Goals

German Bundesliga - Borussia Monchengladbach Vs Hertha Berlin Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Borussia Monchengladbach and Hertha Berlin are set on collision course this Friday, 19th August at Stadion Borussia Park.

 

Borussia Monchengladbach

Borussia Monchengladbach are hoping to maintain their good start to the new Bundesliga season. Borussia Monchengladbach were denied a second win in as many matches when they conceded an injury time equalizer at Schalke past weekend. With confidence in their ranks climbing, Borussia Monchengladbach look ready to source for more points against an unconvincing Hertha Berlin outfit on Friday. Borussia Monchengladbach beat Die Alte Dame 2-0 at Stadion Borussia Park in March and they have the tactics to produce a similar result in this game.

 

Hertha Berlin

Hertha Berlin are unconvincing, they do not look like they are ready to challenge the dominance of the home team, given that their defensive line has not looked like its best in the recent past. Hertha Berlin have a long record of injured players in their squad which includes the likes of Marvin Plattenhardt, Omar Alderete, Myziane Maolida, Jessic Ngankam and Kelian Wa Saka among others. All of these players will not be present for obvious reasons in this match against Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday.

 

Verdict:

Borussia Monchengladbach have been undefeated in their last five games. They are currently the favourites to win this game. I expect the home team to win this game.

 

1x2 Pick: 1

UEFA Europa League - Apollon Limassol FC vs Olympiakos Piraeus Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Apollon Limassol FC

After a disappointing pre-season campaign, Apollon Limassol FC failed to show a real battle against Maccabi Haifa in the penultimate round of UEFA Champions League qualifying as they suffered a 2-4 aggregate defeat. However, Apollon Limassol FC built the much needed motivation, as they secured a comfortable 2-0 landslide victory over Omonia Nicosia FC in the Cyprus Super league Cup, therefore they will want to prove themselves in front of their own fans. The last and only moment when both teams met was in year 2011, and then the match finished in a 1-1 draw. Despite a 0-4 loss in the 1st leg against Maccabi Haifa, Apollon Limassol FC tried to turn the result in their favor, but that 2-0 triumph was not enough.

 

Olympiakos Piraeus

Olympiakos Piraeus had a generally poor pre-season campaign, and to make worsen the matter, they suffered an embarrassment in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, yielding to Maccabi on a 1-5 aggregate. After that elimination, Olympiakos Piraeus appointed Carlos Corberán as their new coach, but even under him, Olympiakos Piraeus did not show any sign of positive results, as they managed to eliminate Slovan Bratislava just after a penalty shootout. Olympiakos Piraeus has faced huge setback in the back line, not only during the pre-season, but also in their various competitive games, where they conceded at least one goal in all 4 matches so far. In fact, Olympiakos Piraeus defense has looked too leaky, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 13 of their past 15 matches across all competitions.

 

Verdict:

This duel on Thursday will be their first competitive clash between both teams. Apollon Limassol FC should take advantage of visitors' lack of defensive stability, while the visitors side has a powerful and enough attacks to find the net. I expect both teams to score.
