Coppa ltalia Game Preview -- Inter Milan vs AC Milan

 

 

Pick:1x2   Inter Milan @1.95

 

Analysis:

Inter Milan and title rivals AC Milan meet at San Siro on Tuesday in the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final, separated by only two points in the Serie A standings.

 

Inter Milan

Following last month's dreary 0-0 stalemate in the first leg, the balance between two Calcio powerhouses is carefully poised - albeit Inter have previously captured the Coppa Italia on seven occasions to Milan's five. Following their quarter-final triumph last year, the Nerazzurri went on to win the Scudetto ahead of their closest rivals, and the two teams have remained embroiled in a battle for the big honours this season.

 

AC Milan

The five-time cup champions have only lost two of their past 19 Coppa games at home, and despite being the away team at San Siro this week, Stefano Pioli's side should be confident after overcoming Genoa and Lazio to reach this stage. AC Milan has lately fallen to goalless draws against Bologna and Torino without the talismanic presence of ex-Inter star Zlatan lbrahimovic up front, but were able to squeeze past struggling Genoa on Friday.

 

Prediction

While the away goals rule may influence how both teams approach this game - Milan may be content to sit back and try to score on the break - Inter's larger goal threat is likely to carry them through to the final.

ltalian Serie A Preview -- Napoli vs AS Roma

 

 

Pick:1x2   Draw @3.60

AH   AS Roma (+0.5) @2.01

 

Analysis:

The outcome of Monday's Derby del Sole between championship hopefuls Napoli and a resurgent Roma might have significant implications for both teams.

 

Napoli

Last week's setback at home to a courageous Fiorentina team in Naples extended up that gap, and despite goals from Dries Mertens and the in-form Victor Osimhen in the second half, they were defeated 3-2 by the Tuscans. Despite their high position in the standings, Napoli has lost eight of their ten games in all competitions this season, and they have only lost more home games in a single season once before.

 

AS Roma

Roma has taken on the mantle of Serie A's 'unbeatables' in recent weeks, as they are the first side in the top level to go 11 games without losing. During that time, they won seven times, including the derby against Lazio and at home against Atalanta. In six of the league's 11 undefeated matches, the squad has preserved a clean sheet.

 

Prediction

Both Napoli and Roma have won two of their past six Serie A meetings in Naples, implying that nothing has separated them recently. Over three goals were scored on average in those games.

Italian Serie A Tips &Match Preview——Cagliari vs Sassuolo

 

 

Pick:1x2   Sassuolo @2.38

 

Analysis:

Cagliari will welcome Sssolo on Saturday's Serie A.

 

Cagliari

Cagliari's performance of this season is not good enough. The team has only achieved 5 wins,10 draws and 17 losses after 32 rounds and ranks 17th in the league table with 25 point, only 3 points higher than Genoa behind them. Because of their poor defensive performance, the total number of goals conceded is as high as 61 goals They faced Juventus in last round and finally lost with 1-2. They lost last 5 matches, being in low morale.

 

Sassuolo

Sassuolo's performance since this season has been relatively mediocre. The team has achieved 12 wins, 10 draws and 10 losses after 32 rounds. Currently, tehy ranks in the middle of the league table with 46 points, which is 9 points away from the UEFA ECL qualifying. It is more difficult to overtake, the team's fighting spirit is relatively inferior to Cagliari, but it is commendable that Sassuolo defeated Atalanta 2-1 at home in the last Serie A league game, winning 5 of the past 7 league games, and has a relatively good state.

 

Prediction:

Cagliari could not get a win in past 10 head to head matches against Sassuolo and had lost 3, and they lost to Sassuolo by 0:1 in last match on Copa Italia. Also, the team is currently in a 5- game losing streak, so | go for Sassuolo in this round.

UEFA Champions League Preview- Liverpool vs Benfica

 

 

Pick:1x2   Liverpool @1.30

 

Analysis:

At Anfield Liverpool's playoff against Benfica on Wednesday.

 

Liverpool

After a straight win against Benfica 3-1 first leg away and have not lost at home to Portuguese opposition since 2005/06 so losing is not allowed. Liverpool playing at a good performance after a draw-in to the title race 2-2 against Man City in the league at the weekend. Liverpool haven't lost in 6 matches with more goals both home and away (W4, D1)

 

Benfica

The weekend match against Belenenses 3-1 defeat and they had the advantage of being able to rest some of their players against the second leg champion league at Anfield. Benfica is going to face one of the toughest clubs at Anfield with history offering lttle hope, as Benfica have won just one quarter-final away leg in any UEFA competition (W1, D2, L6) with the heaviest defect (1-4) in 2009/10 Europa League trip to Anfield.

 

Verdict

Benfica knows how difficult the match is going to be so they rested their players for the hope. .

Liverpool is at the focus of winning the league title, FA Cup, and champion league.

 

 

Pick: Over 2.5

UEFA Champions League Preview: Bayern Munchen VS Villarreal

 

 

Pick:OU  Over (3.5) @2.03

 

Analysis:

Bayern Munchen welcomes Vllarreal to Allianz Arena in the Champions League quarter final

second leg, on Tuesday night.

 

Bayern Munchen

The Bravarians lost away to the yellow submarine by a goal margin. In what was their first Champions League away defeat in years. Thanks to Danjuma's goal that gave the visitors here the ultimate victory. But Unai Emery's men should get complesant as a goal difference isn't much to worry the former 2013 champions league holders. The last weekend match saw the Breavarians winning by a lone goal. Thanks to Lewandoski penalty in the closing hours of the game. Nagelsmann should have a fully fit squad to match on to victory in this encounter. Although Bayern haven't gone past this stage since 2014/2015 season and all their lost came from Spanish opponents.

 

Villarreal

Villarreal are well prepared to enter this encounter after a first leg 1-0 win over the host. Yellow flags were waving around the Ceramica stadium last week Wednesday as they had a mountain to climb and climbed it really good with a victory. Although The yellow submarines shouldn't let that get into their head, because a goal advantage is nothing compared to what happened to Salzburg with a thumping of 7-1 after a 2-2 draw in the first leg of that encounter. Villarreal drew Athletico Bilbao 1-1 as few players where rotated and some rested for this encounter.

 

Verdict:

After the first leg ended in a defeat for the host here. They will think twice to get prepared for this encounter as they would love to progress to the semis where either Benfica or Liverpool would be waiting. Vllarreal are prepared for this one but i don't see them getting past this stage as they haven't gotten to the semis in over a decade.
