Portugal League Cup - Portimonense vs Gil Vicente Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

On Wednesday, the final two Group E matches of the Portugal League Cup will take place. It will determine which will advance to the 1/8 Final.

 

Portimonense

After defeating SC Covilha 2-0 in their most recent game, they snap their losing streak. Despite their strong defensive play, they struggle offensively, averaging 1.2 goals allowed and 0.7 goals scored over their last 10 games.

 

Gil Vicente

They are currently facing relegation and hold the sixteenth spot in Liga Portugal 1. It is obvious that they currently give the league more attention than the cup. Additionally, they show a poor state on the road, which have been winless for three away games.

 

Verdict:

Portimonense defeated Gil Vicente 1-2 at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos in November, making them have the psychological advantage. It is anticipated that Portimonense are going to win in the coming game.

 

Pick: 1

 

AH Pick: Home 0/-0.5

 

International Club Friendly -- Ponferradina vs Atletico Madrid Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

On Wednesday night, Atletico Madrid will play Ponferradina in a preseason friendly.

 

Ponferradina

Ponferradina presently competes in their league football in the Segunda Division after being promoted from the third tier in 2018–19. This is the team's fourth consecutive season at this level. They currently rank 18th in the standings after collecting a total of 21 points from 20 games.

 

Atletico Madrid

The last time Atletico defeated Almazan 2-0 in the opening round of the Copa del Rey. Prior to the World Cup break, they were in poor form, earning just one point from their previous three league games. While finishing last in their Champions League group, Simeone's squad is presently sixth in La Liga.

 

Prediction

It wouldn't be surprising to see the home team win in this match, but we just have a gut feeling that Atletico will come out on top by a slim margin.

 

 

Pick: Atletico Madrid -0.5/1

FIFA World Cup - 2022 - World Cup Final Stage Argentina VS Croatia

 

 

Analysis:

Argentina

Angel Di Maria featured from the bench in Argentina's semi-final win over the Netherlands and might return to the starting XI here.

 

Lionel Scaloni changed to a 3-5-2 for Friday's penalty shootout success and may revert to a more familiar 4-3-3, with Di Maria and Julian Alvarez flanking Lionel Messi. Full-backs Gonzalo Montiel and Marcos Acuna are suspended, with Nicolas Tagliafico set to deputise for the latter.

 

Argentina were taken to penalties late on by the Netherlands on Friday night as they threw away a two-goal lead. Nevertheless, they held their nerve to book a semi-final spot against Croatia.

 

Croatia

Josip Stanisic remains a doubt for Croatia, but is their only injury concern for Tuesday's semi-final. Zlatko Dalic may reward Bruno Petkovic with a starting spot after he scored from the bench late on against Brazil to take that quarter-final tie to penalties.

 

Zlatko Dalic's side, conversely, scored an equaliser deep into extra time to take their tie with Brazil to a penalty shootout. They have won their four penalty shootouts at a World Cup, so will look to adopt a similar conservative approach to frustrate Argentina.

 

Prediction:

Croatia are not to be underestimated, but with Lionel Messi in the ranks, Argentina will certainly fancy their chances of reaching the 2022 World Cup final.

 

 

​FIFA World Cup -- Morocco vs Portugal Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Morocco will face quarter-final opponents Portugal at Al Toumama Stadium on Saturday.

 

Morocco

Morocco reached that stage for the first time with a strong penalty shootout win after holding up against Spain. They were the fourth African team to reach the last eight at a World Cup, and the first in 12 years.

 

Portugal

Portugal beat Switzerland 6-1 in the round of 16. After an unstoppable opening win, 21-year-old Ramos scored a fairy-tale hat-trick in that win. Santos had watched his team secure safe passage into the World Cup's first phase as Group H champions, and with three wins and 12 goals to their record already.

 

Prediction

They did incredibly well to get here, considering that Morocco is no pushover. However, they are up against one of the tournament's toughest defenses and a Portuguese squad that excelled at all levels without Ronaldo.

 

 

Pick: Portugal win

FIFA World Cup / Netherlands vs Argentina Tips & Match Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Netherlands will meet Argentina in the quarter final of this World Cup at the Lusail Iconic Stadium on Friday.

 

Netherlands

After taking three wins and a draw in their four matches in this FIFA World Cup, Netherlands have extended their unbeaten run into 19 matches across all competitions. In the round of 16, they beat USA with 3-1, and they have two clean sheet in last four outings, as well as having score two goals or more in three of those matches. Cody Gakpo has performed well in the team, with scoring three goals in their opening three rounds.

 

Argentina

Argentina comes from three straight wins in this tournament, even though they lost to Saudi Arabia in the opening game. They have three goals in these four matches. However, they lost to Netherlands in three out of their seven meetings. They have failed to score in the last three h2h games even though they beat their opponent in the 2014 World Cup semis by a penalty shootout.

 

Prediction:

There is no action on goals in their latest meetings, but considering both sides’ performances especially on attack in this tournament, I am going to back we will back a scoring draw at 90 minutes.

 

Pick: Draw

 

Italian Serie B / Genoa vs SudTirol Tips & Match Preview

 

 

Analysis:

The 5th-placed Genoa will play host SudTirol who is ranking eighth on Thursday.

 

Genoa

Genoa have been in poor run lately. They failed to win any of their last five rounds and only took two points. Their last home match comes from a 0-1 at the hands of Cittadella, before that, they have three home draws in a row. Noted as well, there have been seven with under 2.5 goals in these eight home League matches.

 

SudTirol

SudTirol have a poor start to this season with three successive defeats. Since then, they recovered soon and have been unbeatable for 12 rounds. Although they drew their last five rounds with a draw, they have managed to score in each of these games. Also, they are unbeatable for last five away League matches and won three.

 

Prediction:

SudTirol have been in better forms recently, and they played well away from home and have potential on attack. I will back the away side to win or draw this game.
