German Bundesliga - TSG Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

TSG Hoffenheim will play against Borussia Dortmund for Bundesliga round 22 game on Saturday.

 

TSG Hoffenheim

They have lost five straight games, which puts them in a bad situation. In reality, they had just one victory in their last 10 games, and it came from Servette in friendly competition.

 

Borussia Dortmund

Instead, Dortmund are in good form and have a 10-match winning streak. Their performance is strong on both offensive and defense, with an average of 3.3 goals scored and 0.8 goals allowed.

 

Verdict:

Dortmund have not been defeated by Hoffenheim since 2021, giving them the psychological advantage. Besides, Hoffenheim are in a poor state while Dortmund are in form. So Dortmund are going to win.

 

Pick: 2

 

AH Pick: Borussia Dortmund -1

 

O/U Pick: Over 3

UEFA Europa League - Midtjylland vs Sporting CP

 

Analysis:

After a 1-1 tie in the first leg, Midtjylland will meet Sporting CP at home this week for the second leg.

 

Even though Midtjylland enjoyed the home advantage in their most recent match against Sporting CP, which ended in a 1-1 draw, they only had 28% of the possessions.

 

Midtjylland are terrible at home, with a 22% winning rate at home this season and 0.89 goals scored but 1.44 goals allowed. Sporting CP have a 45.5% home win rate. According to the statistics, Sporting CP are more likely to win.

 

Pick: 2

 

O/U Pick: Over 2.5

 

UEFA Europa League - Nantes vs Juventus Preview

 

 

Analysis:

At Stadium de la Beaujoire, Nantes will host Juventus for the second leg of the UEFA Europa League Knockouts.

 

Nantes

Nantes' home performances are poor. They have three wins, four victories, one loss, and no more than two goals per game in their last ten home games.

 

Juventus

Juventus tied Nantes 1-1 despite having the home field advantage and having more possessions in the first leg. On the road, though, they are reliable. They lost just twice in their last ten games. One was from Naples, the other from Befica.

 

Verdict:

It is final chance for Juventus to perform in European games because it is impossible for them to qualify for European games in Serie A this season. It is believed that Juventus will win.

 

Pick: 2

 

AH Pick: Juventus -0.5

 

UEFA Champions League -- RB Leipzig vs Manchester City Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

RB Leipzig will meet Manchester City in the Champions League round of 16 tie with the irst leg on Wednesday at the Red Bull Arena.

 

RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig finished second on qualifyings, behind of Real Madrid in Group F with four wins and two losses. After beating Wolfsburg 3-0 in the last League game, RB Leipzig are currently placing 5th in Bundesliga. The last 1-2 home loss to Union Berlin halted their 18-game unbeaten run before, and this was their first defeat at home in 12 matches in all competitions.

 

Manchester City

Manchester City leads the Group G table with four wins and two draws. After claiming a 1-1 away draw at the weekend by Nottingham Forest, the City heads into this clash as 2nd in the Premier League. But they need to improve their away forms since they just have one win, one draw but three defeats in the last five visits in all competitions.

 

Prediction:

RB Leipzig shows impressive home forms all the whole season, while the City lack the consistency on the road. Thus, my prediction for this match is RB Leipzig to win the Handicap.

 

AH Pick: RB Leipzig +0.5/1

 

Spanish La Liga -- Getafe vs Valencia Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Getafe and Valencia will meet at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez in the Matchday 22 in the Spanish La Liga.

 

Getafe

Getafe have been winless for the latest seven rounds in the La Liga, managing only two draws for a total of two points. Now they are ranking 19th on League table, only one point behind of the visiting team. However, in the last two rounds of the league, they drew Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano, with one goal for each.

 

Valencia

Valencia are also in poor forms lately, with getting only one point from their last seven League games. Moreover, they are not playing well away from home, with only one win but six defeats in the last ten away League matches this season. And they failed to score in the last three visits in this progress.

 

Prediction:

Getafe showed consistent attack since returning from the World Cup break, and they have picked up consecutive draws agaisnt the stronger teams. I belive they would extend their unbeaten run by this clash.

 

AH Pick: Getafe 0

English Premier League -- Aston Villa vs Arsenal Game Preview

 

Analysis:

Aston Villa will welcome Arsenal to Villa Park in the Matchday 24 of the English Premier League.

 

Aston Villa

Aston Villa have picked up five victories in the last nine games in the Premier League, lifting them into the 11th place in the table and a 10 point lead over the relegation zone. However, they have suffered back-to-back defeats lately, with a 3-1 away defeat to Manchester City adnd a 4-2 home loss to Leicester City.

 

Arsenal

Arsenal fell a 1-3 home defeat to the Manchester City, which has been their third defeat in the last four competitive matches. The bright thing is that Arsenal will be motivated from their away results, since they won eight of their 11 away trips with incredibly consistent attacking side.

 

Prediction:

Aston Villa is not a team easy to defeat for the Gunners. Both sides have consistent scoring forms in their recent matches, thus, I will back both teams to score here.

 

Pick: BTTS – YES

French Ligue 1 - Auxerre v Lyon (Tips)

 

 

Analysis:

French Ligue 1 - Auxerre v Lyon on 17/02/2023

 

Friday night a stand-alone Ligue 1 game in France should be an easy pick. Struggling Auxerre welcoming mid-table Lyon in search of a home win could face a lengthy wait! Lyon is still 6 points behind the European qualification position and needs to pick up more points if they want to feature in Europen football next season, great chance today at Auxerre!

 

Auxerre – they only had won just once in their last 10 competitive matches, that was a cup-away win and nothing really worth shouting about. Auxerre’s last league victory came from a 1-0 home win against fellow struggler Ajaccio back in November!

 

Lyon - their away records are not so strong, however, Lyon has a pretty much full-strength squad to face Auxerre. Alexandre Lacazette scored 14 goals this season and he is the 2nd join top league goal scorer who could guide Lyon for another 3 points here.

 

Odds Analysis

Asian Handicap opened strongly on Lyon at -0.5 with odds around 1.80, a lot lower in Asian bookies too. Most bookies in Asian upgraded their AH to -0.75 on Lyon!

 

Verdict:

Auxerre had full of injured players that prevented them to find goals, I doubt they can win here today. Pick Lyon!

 

First Choice: Away Win

 

Low Risk Option: Lyon - First Team To Score
