ENG LCH-Norwich City v Blackburn Rovers

 

 

Norwich City had sold their key striker Garbieri Sara to Turkey and reduced their fire power by awful a lot, this is why they had lost their opening Championship game against newly promoted Oxford United 0-2 away. They also just narrowly beat Stevenage at home 4-3 in the League Cup mid-week, nothing special for Norwich City this season.

 

Blackburn is the team to watch this season, having signed Japanese starlet Yuki Ohashi who scored 2 goals in 2 games providing a lot of new flair in Rover's attacking option.

 

With the last 2 head to head at Carrow Road, Rovers had not lost, this game I expect them to hold firm once more!

POR D1-Santa Clara VS FC Porto

 

 

Santa Clara, back in the Primeira Liga, will host Porto at Estádio de São Miguel for their game in Week 2. Santa Clara's impressive 4-1 win in their season opener has put them at the top of the early standings. Porto, under Vitor Bruno, began their campaign with a solid 3-0 victory over Gil Vicente.

 

Recent encounters between these teams have often been decided by a single goal, with the corresponding fixture in the 2022-23 season ending 1-1. However, Porto, who have been prolific in pre-season—scoring three or more goals in eight of their last nine matches—are expected to secure the win in Ponta Delgada.

SPA D1-Athletic Bilbao VS Getafe

 

 

Team Analysis:

At the end of last season's La Liga, Athletic Bilbao finished 5th with 68 points. Getafe finished 12th with 25 points less.

Athletic Bilbao kept quite a few key players. The name that has been mentioned a lot recently is Nico Williams.

 

Meanwhile, Getafe has had quite a few changes. Most notably, the striker who scored 8 goals for Getafe last season, Greenwood.

 

Odds analysis:

Athletic Bilbao is somewhat superior to the away team. However, the two have drawn 7 out of 10 recent matches.

Athletic Bilbao uses young goalkeeper Padilla due to injuries to key players. This has partly caused them to concede quite a few goals in the pre-season.

The history of confrontations favors Getafe to have a not-so-bad result today. In the opening match of last season, they got 1 point.

 

Conclusion:

Getafe + 1.5

Coppa Italia-Lecce VS Mantova

 

Lecce and Mantova have a limited history of encounters, with only six matches played between them, the most recent being a 2-2 draw in 2010. That season, Lecce won the Serie B title, while Mantova was relegated to Serie C after finishing near the bottom of the table.

 

Evaluating Lecce's performance last season is challenging. Despite expectations of relegation from Serie A, they managed to finish fourteenth and maintain their top-flight status. However, their performances often fell short of expectations, with luck playing a significant role in securing points.

 

This is reflected in their goal difference of 32-54. Additionally, their summer friendlies were underwhelming, with three losses and only one win, leaving room for improvement as they head into the new season.

 

But I still tip Lecce to win.
