UEFA Nations League - Slovakia vs Azerbaijan Match Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Slovakia will be faced with Azerbaijan on UEFA Nations League League C Group 3 on Thursday.

 

Slovakia

Slovakia have been relegated from second tier after getting four points only. However, on League C, although they managed to beat Belarus and Azerbaijan both 1-0 on the road, they lost to Kazakhstan twice. Now they rank 2nd on group table with 6 points only. To be mentioned, Kazakhstan will host Belarus a few hours earlier than this game. Once Kazakhstan successfully defeats Belarus, it will be useless for Slovakia to win this game, so the team's morale possibly depends on the result of Kazakhstan VS Belarus.

 

Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan have only picked up 1 win, 1 draw and 2 loss in the previous four rounds, ranking second to the last now and only 2 points above of Belarus. Their only winning result is the 2-0 home victory over Belarus last round.

 

Prediction:

The difference in strength between these two teams is still relatively large, I will follow the odds to support Slovakia here. Also, judging from the weak attack in the previous rounds, there should not be many goals.

 

Pick: Slovakia to win

 

O/U Pick: Under 2.5 goals

UEFA Nations League - Belgium FC vs Wales FC

 

 

Analysis:

Belgium and Wales will have a nation league game at Den Dreef Stadium on Thursday.

 

Belgium

Belgium suffered a 1-4 defeat against the Netherlands in the opening group game. However, Belgium quickly relieved their load by thrashing Poland 6-1 in the second round. After that, they accumulate four points from the next two games, putting them two points behind the group's top-place team, Netherlands.

 

Wales

The Welsh team is currently threatened with relegation because they have only one point from their first four games in this group. What's worse, Joe Allen and Ben Davies will possibly be absent due to injuries and Gareth Bale is not in form because he has play a MLS game on Monday.

 

Verdict:

Beligium have not been defeated by Wales since 2021. Besides, Belgium have the home advantage. According to above, Belgium are more likely to win.

Under 2.5

UEFA Nations League - Scotland FC vs Ukraine FC

 

 

Analysis:

Hampden Park will witness a game between Scotland and Ukraine.

 

Scotland

They are second in the group. To move to League A, they must have a winning streak in their upcoming games. Che Adams, John McGinn, and Stuart Armstrong are in the squad, and the team valued a total of €339 million.

 

Ukraine

Despite not having a home advantage this season, they have played better than expected, going 2W-1D. Now they rank at the top of Group 1, League B. They will upgrade to League A as long as they take three points from Scotland in the coming game.

 

Verdict:

With one point separating them, the two teams are vying for first place. Since Ukraine had the psychological advantage because they defeated Scotland 1-3 in their previous match, it is expected that Ukraine will triumph once more.

 

Pick: 2

 

Primera Division Liga MX/ Atletico San Luis Vs Pachua

 

 

Analysis:

Pick 2

 

Pick Under 2.5

Atlético San Luis will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 1-3 Liga MX (Apertura) success versus Atlas.

 

In that match, Atlético San Luis had 48% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. For Atlético San Luis, the goals were scored by Abel Hernández (60', 65') and Zahid Muñoz (87'). At the other end, Atlas had 15 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Christopher Trejo (40') scored for Atlas.

 

André Jardine's Atlético San Luis have hit the back of the net 8 times in their prior 6 outings. Conversely, the tally of goals that have been scored against them in that time amounts to 10.

 

A look at their previous results shows us that Atlético San Luis:

 

have not registered a win against Pachuca in their previous 4 league games.

 

have not been beaten in their last 3 home league matches.

 

Pachuca

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of FC Juárez in Liga MX (Apertura) action, Pachuca and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

 

The only name on the scoresheet from Pachuca was Illian Hernández (9'). Gabriel Fernández (3') and Alan Medina (43') scored for FC Juárez.

 

In a total of 5 of the previous 6 games involving Pachuca, a minimum of three goals have gone in. The overall average goals scored per match in that spell is 4.17, with the number of goals averaged by Pachuca standing at 3. That sort of pattern might not be carried forward here, of course

England Championship/ Norwich City Vs West Bromwich( WBA)

 

 

Analysis:

Pick 1

 

Pick Under 2.5 Goals

 

AH 0/+0.5

 

Norwich City look on course to dominate this division once again as they arrive here off the back of a tremendous result against Bristol City. The Robins went into that one as a free-scoring side full of confidence but it was the Canaries that showed the superior class. Now they welcome another big side in West Bromwich Albion, but the visitors are in a rut right now.

 

Where to start with the Baggies. They have failed to win any of their last five matches, have conceded in all of their last six and fans are not happy with boss Steve Bruce. They create chances but have nobody to finish them off and over the course of the season, they will find that prevents them from reaching their target. They’re coming off the back of a damaging defeat to rivals Birmingham City but they need to dust themselves down and prepare for this tough task

English Premier League - Notthingham Forest v Fulham

 

Analysis:

[Picks] With the Premier League back for this weekend, still there will be 3 games postponed due to the Queen's state funeral, it is time to pick up a win before opportunities run by. Today Angie is picking on this beauty, Nottingham Forest hosting Fulham, both teams promoted from the Championship with Forest reappeared in the Premier League for the first time in 23 years. And 23 years ago, I was still a young little girl and saw Forest relegated into the Championship (the old Division 1). However, in this game, I feel goals are coming our way.

 

Forest had not won a game except their 1-0 home win at home against West Ham United in match day 2, last game was pretty cruel having led by 2-0 at HT against Bournemouth and ended up a 2-3 home loss. Defensively they are too weak.

 

Fulham enjoying more goals, with Aleksander Mitrovic just non-stop scoring, I can see the Serbian will score tonight at the City Ground. Fulham had already produced over 66% of over 2.5 goals result, followed by Forest with just 34%, odds on over 2.5 goals started to drop, volume is heading onto Over 2.5 goals so best bet on the early price now!

 

RECOMMENDATION:

UEFA Europa League/ Sporting Braga Vs Union Berlin

 

 

Analysis:

Pick 1

 

Pick Under 3

 

Sporting Braga and Union Berlin will meet each other in one of the most exciting games of Matchday No 2 in the whole UEFA Europa League program this Thursday.

 

Both teams got off to phenomenal starts in their respective domestic leagues. Braga are two points shy of Benfica at the top of the Primeira Liga standings with a fantastic record of five wins and one draw in the inaugural six rounds.

 

Union Berlin, on the other side, are shocking German Bundesliga leaders with four wins and two draws in the opening six Gameweeks.

 

It is worth noting that Union Berlin have already faced the likes of Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig (two of the strongest teams in the country alongside Borussia Dortmund) in these six opening affairs of the new campaign.

 

However, Urs Fischer’s men did not deliver the goods on the opening day of the UEFA Europa League, falling 0-1 at home to Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise.

 

The Swiss manager has clearly shifted the orientation towards defense of late since his men have played three consecutive low-scoring matches across competitions.

 

We did not see too many chances at all in Union Berlin’s mentioned loss to Union Saint-Gilloise seven days ago.

 

Fischer’s troops allowed just one goal in the last two Bundesliga outings despite facing Bayern Munich and FC Cologne in the process.

 

Braga, on the other side, opened their Europa League adventure in Group D with an easy 0-2 victory against Malmo on Swedish soil.
