Analysis:

Mestalla will hold a La Liga match between Valencia and Cadiz on Friday.

 

Valencia

In the last game, they defeated CF La Nucia 0-3, which ended their losing streak in December. They perform well at Mestalla, having a 50% win rate, with 1.88 scoring goals and 0.88 conceding goals on average of this season's home matches.

 

Cadiz

They are in good shape, having finished 2W-2D-1L during the FIFA World Cup. The only defeat was from a one-goal loss to Wolves. But they play poorly when travelling, with a 14% winning percentage.

English Premier League - Chelsea vs Manchester City Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Chelsea and Man City will play in a thrilling match tonight at Stamford Bridge stadium.

 

Chelsea

After the international break, they have 1W-1D. However, both wins came against teams at the bottom of the standings. Fortunately, they have a more than a half winning percentage at home.

 

Manchester City

As the second in the league table, they are doing everything they can to get closer to Arsenal. So far this season, they have only suffered one away defeat, to Arsenal.

 

Verdict:

Man City have the psychological advantage because they defeated Chelsea with three clean sheets in their most recent head-to-head contests. Man City is anticipated to record another clean sheet victory.

 

Pick: 2

 

FT Correct: 2-0, 3-0

Italian Serie A - Cremonese vs Juventus

 

 

Analysis:

Juventus will travel to Giovanni Zini Stadium for a game against Cremonese.

 

There's big gap between Cremonese and Juventus. Cremonese rank eighteenth in the league table, struggling hard for relegation, however, Juventus are ranking third and chasing for the championship.

 

Actually, Cremonese have yet to win a game this season. It is impossible for them to defeat Juventus in the upcoming game to get their first victory of the season.

 

In their most recent 10 games,  including friendlies, the Italian league, and the UEFA Champions League, Juventus kept seven clean sheets. Given Cremonese's lack of league competitiveness, it is projected that Juventus will win by more than two goals.

 

Pick: 2

 

AH Pick: Juventus -1.5

 

O/U Pick: Under 3

English Premier League - Manchester United vs Bournemouth AFC

 

 

Analysis:

Old Trafford will host a game between Manchester United and Bournemouth AFC on Tuesday.

 

Man Utd perform well at Old Trafford, which have got an unbeaten record there. The last home defeat they suffered was in September. Additionally, Man Utd have not lost to Bournemouth in the past at Old Trafford, giving them the psychological advantage.

 

With three clean sheets in their most recent games following the international break, Man Utd are doing well. It's interesting that the Cherries have recently lost three clean sheets from Palace, Chelsea and Newcastle. Man Utd stand great chance to defeat Bournemouth without conceding goal in the upcoming game.

 

Manchester United is hence expected to win 3-0.

 

FT Correct Score: 3-0
