Liga Portugal 1-FC Porto VS Rio Ave

 

 

Team Analysis:

Porto ensured they remained within touching distance of league leaders Benfica as they cruised to a 3-1 win over Farense, having gone seven games in a row without defeat in all competitions, picking up one draw and six wins, including a 4-0 win over Estoril Praia in the fifth round of the Taca de Portugal on January 9.

 

Rio Ave have now failed to taste victory in three games in a row, picking up two points from a possible nine, and have won just one of their last nine games since mid-November.

Porto will be at their best when they face a Rio Ave side who struggled to impose themselves on their journey. Both form and history are on their side, this weekend and back them to claim all three points unscathed.

English Premier League-Manchester City VS Burnley

 

 

Team Analysis:

Manchester City are in scintillating form, with an impressive record in their last 10 matches in all competitions. Their offensive prowess, coupled with a solid defensive record, makes them the favorites. The potential return of Erling Haaland adds another dimension to their already strong attack.

 

Burnley's season has been less than satisfactory, they have shown resilience away from home. Their ability to beat the defending champions on the road provides a glimmer of hope. However, their weak defense and weak attack, combined with some key injuries, paint a scary picture heading into this match.

 

odds analysis:

Manchester City's win with a -2 handicap was based on their dominant style of play and the sizeable gap in class and form between them and Burnley. Guardiola's City, which is famous for its extraordinary and relentless attacking play, often beats its opponents, especially at the Etihad Stadium.

 

Conclusion:

predicted score 4-0.

Primera Division Liga MX-Queretaro FC VS Tigres UANL

 

 

Head to head

Looking over their past head to head meetings stretching back to 05/04/2021 shows that these fixtures have not been kind to Querétaro FC. They have not been able to get any victories at all while Tigres have just been stronger than them, beating them in 83 per cent of those match-ups.

 

13 goals were scored between them throughout the course of those matches, with 1 for Gallos Blancos and 12 netted by Los Tigres. That’s an average goals per game of 2.17.

 

The previous league fixture between these clubs was Liga MX (Apertura) match day 7 on 03/09/2023 which finished with the scoreline of Tigres de la UANL 5-0 Querétaro FC.

 

That day, Tigres de la UANL had 60% possession and 18 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Goals were scored by Raymundo Fulgencio (11', 40'), André-Pierre Gignac (49'), Juan Pablo Vigón (56') and Nicolás Ibáñez (92').

 

Querétaro FC got 12 shots on goal with 2 of them on target.

 

Prediction

We’re thinking that Querétaro FC will really need to work well to breach the defence of this Tigres de la UANL outfit who we think will likely get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

 

We’ve gone for a narrow 0-1 victory for Tigres de la UANL after 90 minutes.

 

GG Picks Tigres UANL -0.5

German Bundesliga-Augsburg VS Bayern Munchen

 

 

FC Augsburg, currently sitting in 10th place in the Bundesliga, have shown inconsistency throughout the season. However, they did manage to secure a narrow 2-1 victory against Borussia Monchengladbach in their last match, which will undoubtedly boost their confidence for this upcoming fixture.

 

In contrast, Bayern Munich, currently in second place, have also had their fair share of struggles this season. Despite this, they were able to secure a crucial 1-0 victory against Union Berlin in their previous game and will be looking to elevate their performance this weekend.

 

Considering FC Augsburg's poor form this season, they will face a formidable opponent on Saturday. Bayern Munich, being the superior team on paper, should have the ability to secure a victory in this match.
