Analysis:

Tuesday’s Champions League fixture list sees Liverpool vs Napoli.

 

Liverpool

Although Liverpool's Champions League campaign has been good, successive league defeats to Nottingham Forest and Leeds United have been a major blow to their confidence. Their league title hopes are dwindling.

 

Napoli

Napoli, who have won 13 in a row after 16 wins and four draws in their last 20 matches, they are in perfect form. They have been on fire this season, scoring 3 goals or more in 13 of their 20 games.

Liverpool have been in bad form but their home form has been good. The 1x2 first odds is 1.57-4.50-4.75, which means support the home team. Liverpool should win this game.

 

Home win

 

UEFA Champions League / FC Porto vs Atletico Madrid

 

 

Analysis:

Bayern Munich will face off against away team Mainz at Allianz Arena in this Bundesliga 1 tie on Saturday.

 

FC Porto

Their latest results reveal that much solidity has been shown by the Porto backline. Porto have been stingy, resulting in the number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous 6 games standing at 2.

 

Atletico Madrid

Since tasting defeat last time out to Cádiz in La Liga competition, Atlético Madrid and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. During their six latest matches, Diego Simeone's Atlético Madrid have turned their attacks into goals 8 times, giving them the goals scored per game average of 1.33.

 

Verdict:

Porto have already secured second place in their group, while Atletico Madrid desperately need a win. The 1x2 first odds is 2.60-3.25-2.70, seems lacked of confidence to the home team. Atletico Madrid should at least take 1 point in this game.

Analysis:

PSG will host Troyes at the Parc des Princes in the Matchday 13 of the Ligue 1.

 

Paris Saint Germain (PSG)

After beating Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League with 7-2, Paris Saint Germain heads into this game with a three match winning streak. PSG lead the Ligue 1 table with 5 points advantage, and they have not yet lost any of the League games with 10W-2D.

 

Troyes

Troyes is placing 11th in the standings with a record of 3W-4D-5L. They are coming off a 2-2 home draw against Lorient last outing. Troyes have only won one out of their last five matches but have been drawing three of their matches.

 

Verdict:

Both sides have the best attack unit, while Troyes have been consistent on their attacking side, so I am going to back both teams would score.

Spanish La Liga - Mallorca vs RCD Espanyol

 

 

Analysis:

Son Moix will hold a game between Mallorca and RCD Espanyol on Friday.

 

Mallorca

Javier Aguirre's next task is to strengthen the team's offense because their defense is good enough, giving up 1.09 goals on average. They have scored nine goals so far. The main reason they only place 12th at the table is because of this.

 

RCD Espanyol

They do not perform well this season, getting 2W-4D-5L. Both of the victories finished with a one-goal lead. Jose Luis Sanmartin Mat has surprised everyone by scoring 7 goals for the team this season. He deserves our attention.

 

Conclusion

After recently defeating Valencia 1-2, Mallorca have now started winning again. Espanyol, on the other hand, are having a winless record. Additionally, Mallorca have the home advantage. Thus the victory is tending to the host.

 

Pick: 1

 

Jose Luis Sanmartin Mat to Score: Y

​UEFA Europa League -- HJK Helsinki vs AS Roma Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Roma are now in last position in Group C, will travel to Finland to play host to last-placed HJK Helsinki.

 

HJK Helsinki

HJK are unimpressed with the most recent form. They have gone winless in their past three league games. They are now in last place in Group C and have a goal-scoring offense, but it has only produced one goal all year. Their prospects of winning will be hampered by their weak attacking line.

 

AS Roma

Roma lost 1-0 to the currentItalian toppers Napoli.. Roma hasn't had any trouble finding the back of the net, scoring in all but one of their past five games—a meeting against Napoli. This game is anticipated to give Roma the points they ought to guarantee themselves a berth in Group C.

 

Prediction

Roma are unlikely to go all the way because of issues in the team and the following away game against Verona, where points cannot be lost. HJK may focus on the current encounter and offer their best effort.

 

 

Total: HJK Helsinki +1.5

Brazil Serie A - Corinthians Paulista (SP) vs Fluminense RJ

 

Analysis:

Corinthians Paulista will fight against Fluminense RJ for Brazil Serie A round 34 this week.

 

Corinthians Paulista (SP)

Corinthians are in good condition, which have got a long unbeaten run even if they play two-fronted attack between the league and the tournament. Additionally, they play well as the host this season, with a 6.3% losing rate in home game.

 

Fluminense RJ

They have a better state than Corinthians because they only play in the league presently. They focus more on offense than defense, with 53 scoring goals and 40 conceding goals this season in total. So they always tend to lose when they meet defense teams.

 

Verdict:

As Corinthians are too good at home for Fluminense to defeat, Corinthians will take one point from Fluminense at least in the upcoming match.

 

Pick: 1X

 

UEFA Champions League - Tottenham Hotspur vs Sporting CP Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

There will be a group fixture in UEFA Champions League between Tottenham Hotspur and Sporting CP on Wednesday.

 

Tottenham Hotspur

Although they are ranked first in group D, it is uncertain whether they will advance due of the closeness of the gap. They lost recent two games from Newcastle United and Manchester United.

 

Sporting CP

There is not enough quality for them to play many fronts in the mean time. They just regain from a losing streak. But up to six players are absent such as Pedro Goncalves, Ricardo Esgaio and Luis Neto.

 

Verdict:

Sporting hold the psychological advantage due to their recent 2-0 victory over Hotspur. But with no home advantage and in such bad shape, it is difficult for them to gain another victory.

 

Pick: 1

 

O/U Pick: Over 2.75
