​UEFA Europa League -- Arsenal vs FC Zurich Game Preview

 

Analysis:

Aiming to clinch first place in Group A when FC Zurich visit the Emirates, Arsenal will try to make up for a missed opportunity to complete Europa League qualifying for the last-16.

 

Arsenal

Despite losing 2-0 to PSV Eindhoven last week, the Gunners still in top place in the division. Going into the last matchday, there are two points between them. The Emirates fortress should serve the Gunners well after winning each of their previous 11 competitive home games. Arsenal also have won all five of their recent matches in Europe played at the Emirates Stadium, losing only one of their previous 19 such contests.

 

FC Zurich

 

Zurich still have something to play for after defeating their Scandinavian opponents 2-1 on the penultimate matchday. Had Zurich lost against Bodo/Glimt, they would have finished fourth before the last matchday. The worst defensive record in the whole competition, with a total of 15 goals allowed in their five group-stage games.

 

Prediction

The Gunners are in excellent shape and have already declared themselves as one of the leading candidates for the crown. They will be driven to provide a fantastic victory since they are also vying for the Europa. It looks like Arsenal will score a significant victory.

 

 

Pick: Arsenal -2

UEFA Europa League -- Real Sociedad vs Manchester United Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Real Sociedad and Manchester United square battle at the Anoeta Stadium with a chance to finish first in Group E of the Europa League and determine who advances to the next round.

 

Real Sociedad

Sociedad most recently defeated Omonia 2-0 last week, are the only team in the 2022–23 Europe League to enter the final matchday with victories in all five of their group games thus far. However, their La Liga form has suffered as a result of recent 1-0 losses to Real Valladolid and Real Betis.

 

Manchester United

In order to advance to the last 16 and prevent one of the teams from being demoted from the Champions League, Man United must win by at least two goals on Thursday. Red Devils defense has only allowed one goal in their previous six games, and Rashford's 100th goal for the club was all it needed for them to defeat West Ham United 1-0 at the weekend, extending their undefeated streak in all competitions to eight games.

 

Prediction

In contrast to a Man United squad that has recently been a defensive force to be reckoned with, attacking absences should hurt the hosts hard. We can envision the in-form Red Devils securing the two-goal lead they need to edge Sociedad to the top place.

 

 

Pick: Manchester United Draw No Bet

 

Total: Over 2.5 Goals

UEFA Champions League / Liverpool vs Napoli

 

 

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.

 

Verdict:

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.

 

Atletico Madrid+0

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.

 

Pick: BTTS-YES / GG

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
