GIF Sundsvall take on guests BK Häcken at NP3 Arena in this Allsvenskan fixture on Monday.

 

GIF Sundsvall

GIF Sundsvall will play in this game following on from a 1-1 Allsvenskan drawn match versus IFK Värnamo. It has been all too rare in recent games where GIF Sundsvall have shown defensive steel. In fact, GIF Sundsvall have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 14 goals along the way. We will have to find out whether or not that trend can be continued on into this next match.

 

Hacken

BK Häcken have been effective going forward leading up to this encounter, scoring 14 times in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that BK Häcken can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same games.

Hacken are the best team in the league and best away performance this season. The 1x2 first odd is 5.50-3.80-1.53, which means support the away team. Hacken should win this game.

International Club Friendly - Tottenham Hotspur vs Sevilla Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Following a nine-goal thriller with Team K-League, Tottenham Hotspur will play Sevilla in a preseason friendly on Saturday at the Suwon World Cup Stadium in South Korea.

 

Tottenham Hotspur

Conte's team defeated Team K-League 6-3 last time out. The Italian was eager to have the Premier League's fittest team, which had Son Heung-min and Harry Kane spread around the playing surface.

 

Sevilla

Sevilla have yet to play a preseason game this summer. In the last gameweeks of last season, they won just three of remaining 12 league games, dropping from second to fourth. Sevilla managed to fend off Sociedad and Betis to secure their spot in the Champions League. Marcao at center defense is the sole summer acquisition for Sevilla.

 

Prediction

Sevilla's defense even more susceptible to Spurs' propensity for goals. Expect a high-score game this Saturday.

 

Pick: Over

International Club Friendly -- Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Liverpool will continue preparing for the 2022–23 season on Friday in Singapore when they take on Crystal Palace.

 

Liverpool

With the additions of Darwin Nunez, Fabio Carvalho, and Calvin Ramsay this summer, the majority of the club's summer transfer activity is now finished, and Klopp is pleased with the team he has put together for the next campaign. Liverpool lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final last season and finished second to Manchester City in the league, although they did win the FA Cup and EFL Cup back-to-back in 2021–22.

 

Crystal Palace

Palace have participated in two friendly this summer, drawing with Accrington Stanley before defeating Millwall. Palace finished the previous season in 12th place. On July 30, Vieira's team will play their final summertime friendly against Montpellier, one week before they host Arsenal to kick off the 2022–23 Premier League season.

 

Prediction

In order to make up for their dismal performance against Manchester United, Liverpool will be eager to win this match. Due to the absence of several key players, Palace will probably struggle over the entire 90 minutes.

 

Pick: Liverpool -1/-1.5

International Club Friendly -- Manchester United vs Liverpool Game Preview

 

 

Pick:1x2   Liverpool  @1.83

OU   Over (3/3.5)  @1.85

 

Analysis:

On Tuesday, Manchester United and Liverpool will play a preseason friendly at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Thailand to kick off their preparations for the 2022–23 season.

 

Manchester United

Manchester United kick off their preseason on Tuesday with a friendly against Liverpool, Erik ten Hag will take charge of Man United for the first time. Man United finished finished sixth in the Premier League table last season, so they will play in the Europa League this term, which is the main reason why Ronaldo is believed to be eager to leave the club. Dutch international Tyrell Malacia who joined from Feyenoord, is the only player they have signed so far.

 

Liverpool

Although Liverpool's 2021–22 season ended in disappointment, with the club coming second to Manchester City in the league standings and falling to Real Madrid in the Champions League final, they did manage to win the FA Cup and EFL Cup. While Mane, Takumi Minamino, Sheyi Ojo and so on have all left Anfield, three new players have arrived - talented players Fabio and Ramsey have come from Fulham and Aberdeen respectively and Nunez has been the headline-making acquisition from Benfica.

 

Prediction

The team led by Jurgen Klopp will be keen to seize this chance and try to defeat their bitter rivals on Tuesday. And it is also the predicted outcome.

UEFA European Women's Championship- Austria (w) vs Northern Ireland (w)

 

 

Pick:1x2    Austria (w)  @1.18

 

Analysis:

The match between Austria Women vs Northern Ireland Women for the Euro Championships Women competition is scheduled to be played on 11 July, 2022. The match kicks off at 17:00 UK time. It will take place at the St. Marys Stadium, in Southampton, Hampshire.

 

Austria Women

Austria looking to kick-start campaign, A narrow 1-0 defeat to England in their opening group game saw Austria’s three match winning run in competitive games come to an end, but they remain heavy favourites for this clash. Irene Fuhrmann’s side qualified for the tournament by winning six of their eight group games and conceding just three goals, showing their strength at the back.

 

Northern Ireland Women

Northern Ireland have qualified for the Euros for the first time, and their tournament got off to a tricky start thanks to a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Norway. Ultimately, that was a fifth successive loss for Kenny Shiels’ side, who have failed to score in two of those games and have only won two of their last seven fixtures outside of their home country.

 

Verdict

Austria have kept clean sheets in five of those seven victories. I predict that Austria will win this one to nil.
