FIFA Club World Cup - Al Ahly SC vs Real Madrid Preview

 

Analysis:

It is the first time for Al Ahly SC and Real Madrid to meet.

 

Al Ahly SC

They rarely face European teams. They have won numerous championships and are one of the best teams in Africa. They have a winning streak of four games with clean sheets.

 

Real Madrid

In the most recent match against Mallorca, Ancelotti used a rotational lineup. It is obvious that they are ready for the FIFA Club World Cup. Their recent five games all ended in under goals.

 

Verdict:

Al Ahly SC lack the experience of Real Madrid playing in International leagues. Real Madrid has a better chance of winning, but only by two goals or less lead.

 

Pick: 2

 

AH Pick: Al Ahly SC +1.5/+2

 

O/U Pick: Under 3.5

 

English Premier League - Manchester United vs Leeds United

 

 

Analysis:

This week, Leeds travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.

 

Manchester United

They're in good condition. In their last ten games, they have only lost to Arsenal by a single goal. They are also effective at home games. This season, they were unbeaten at Old Trafford 90% of the time.

 

Leeds United

They have only won two of their last ten games. Both victories in the FA Cup came from low-level teams. They are ranked seventeenth in the league table.

 

Verdict:

In recent years, Manchester United have received 6W-3D-1L from Leeds United. The only loss came in the FA Cup. Their head-to-head games have an average goal difference of 3.3. It will be a high-scoring home victory.

 

Pick: 1

 

O/U Pick: Over 2

Italian Serie A / Verona vs Lazio

 

Analysis:

Verona continue their Serie A campaign with a home game against Lazio on Monday.

 

Verona

The home side are currently sitting 18th on the table, five points behind of the safety. They just lost once and picked up eight points in the last five rounds, and they won the most recent two home League matches. To be mentioned, only two goals have been conceded in their last four.

 

Lazio

Lazio placed third in the standing, and they are coming off a 1-1 home draw with Fiorentina, followed by a 0-1 away defeat at Juventus in the Copa Italia. Lazio have the second best defenses in the League, with 16 goals conceded this season. They have five wins and two defeats away from home, but they have lost twice in the last three away League matches.

 

Verdict:

Both sides perfoemed well defensively, while Lazio have gone two away games without a win lately, so I won’t take a risk and only predict a low-scoring game here.

 

O/U Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
