England Championship - Coventry City vs West Bromwich(WBA)

 

 

Analysis:

Coventry City and West Bromwich's match will conclude EFL round 9. Coventry rank fourteenth at the table of the league and WBA rank sixteenth. There is just one point separating them.

 

They both do not play offensively. In the last ten games, Coventry averaged 1.5 goals scored per game while WBA scored 1.2. They only had three over-goal games in their last ten games respectively. I predict that the forthcoming game will have a maximum of three goals.

 

At the Coventry Building Society Arena, Coventry have a strong recent record, going 3W-1L with three of those games ending in clean sheets. On the contrary, WBA do not perform well on the road, with a 30% away win rate. Thus Coventry stand a better chance to win in the coming game.

 

Pick: 1

 

O/U Pick: Under 3.25

 

Portugal League Cup - FC Porto vs Gil Vicente

 

Analysis:

On Wednesday, a match between FC Porto and Gil Vicente will take place at Dragon Stadium.

 

FC Porto are in form as their recent results included two shutouts and a total of six goals. Gil Vicente are also in good shape, having gone three games without losing, two of which were clean sheets.

 

The O/U first odds of bet365 is 3/3.5. Nine out of ten of their prior meetings, according to the statistics, produced no more than three goals. It is interesting to note that all Gil Vicente's recent games which had AH first odds of +1.5/2 were against FC Porto, and they have four times beaten the odds. This indicates that FC Porto will find it challenging to defeat Gil Vicente by two goals or more.

 

Conclusion

As stated above, they have a slim possibility of scoring highly in the upcoming game. Both teams scoring is acceptable in my slip, but going beyond 3/3.5 is not.

 

Pick: 1

 

O/U Pick: Under 3/3.5

Chinese Super League - Shandong Taishan vs Shenzhen FC Betting Tips

 

 

Analysis:

Shandong Taishan and Shenzhen FC will go head to head on Monday’s Chinese Super League.

 

Shandong Taishan

Shandong Taishan beat Zibo Cuju F.C. 3-0 easily on last FA Cup game. And they just lost twice in the last ten matches they played. Moreover, they have recorded 8 wins and 2 draws in the last 10 h2h games against Shenzhen FC.

 

Shenzhen FC

Shenzhen FC are coming off a 0-2 away defeat at Hebei FC, which has been their straight fourth defeat lately. And they have lost 8 out of their last 10 matches in all competitions, with only one clean sheet in this progress.

 

Verdict:

At present, Shandong Taishan have a great chance to compete for the championship. In the last round of the league, under the background of falling behind twice, they could take tactical adjustments quickly and bounce back to regain 3 points. I believe they would win again.

 

Pick: Shandong Taishan to win

England Championship / Preston North End vs Queens Park Rangers (QPR)

 

Analysis:

The 6th-placed Preston North End will play host Queens Park Rangers (QPR) who are ranking 9th on Saturday’s Championship.

 

Preston North End

Preston North End beat Blackburn Rovers 4-1 away from home last outing, and this has been their fourth victory in the last five rounds. However, their defensive forms need to be improved, since they had only one clean sheet in those five rounds when they won over Swansea 1-0, also, four out of these five were ended with over 2.5 goals.

 

Queens Park Rangers (QPR)

Queens Park Rangers (QPR) failed to win any of their last six rounds and even lost five of them, and the poor run results them out of the top six. They haven’t score any single goal in five of this progress, and they have conceded two goals or more the latest three rounds.

 

Verdict:

Preston are the favorites of this clash. Although Preston didn’t keep lot of clean sheets, they will impose their defenses in this round. QPR are winless in the previous six, thus I will support a home victory in this round.

 

Pick: Preston North End to win

 

FIFA World Cup 3rd Place Play-off - Croatia v Morocco

 

The 2022 FIFA World Cup coming to an end, what an exciting year with many underdogs smashing the favorite yet again making the bookies mega-rich once more. Angela again coming to the rescue if you are willing to listen to the Queen of Hearts in football in this 3rd place play-off game between Croatia and Morocco.

 

Croatia was defeated by Argentina by class and not by luck, the 0-3 defeats had destroyed Croatian morale completely, and yet again this is the 3rd time they had failed to qualify for the final in their history.

 

Morocco was defeated by France 0-2, however, the way these Moroccan played throughout the tournament had captured many fans and they were very unfortunate not to beat France. Morocco came very close to scoring against France, only being denied because of the lack of quality compared to France.

 

Odds Analysis:

Asian Handicap opened on Croatia at -0.25, clearly overpriced to me since Croatia ranks 12th against Morocco ranks 22nd in FIFA World ranking given the qualities of Croatia against a massive underdog.

 

Morocco's odds on Asian Handicap (+0.25) clearly dropping since their cool display against France. And back in the Group stage, Morocco already managed to draw 0-0 against Croatia and prevented a goal. This game clearly going to be for Morocco in my opinion.

 

Angela's Prediction:

 

Morocco - AH (+0.5) or X2

 

For higher returns, take a bet on Morocco to Qualify (or finish 3rd place). This market is a lot better than full-time 90 mins as it is included extra time and penalties!

Chinese Super League - Hebei FC vs Shenzhen FC Betting Tips

 

 

Analysis:

The Chinese Super League will go one and will see Hebei FC versus Shenzhen FC on Thursday.

 

Hebei FC

Hebei FC just won one but lost 29 in their last 30 rounds. They have been also deducted 9 points for wage violations, and currently rank at the bottom of the league with -6 in total points. Notable as well, they have the poorest defenses, with conceding 104 goals totally.

 

Shenzhen FC

Shenzhen FC have 9 wins, 3 draws and 17 losses since this season, sitting 14th with 30 points. With unsteady offense and defense, they have scored 29 goals but conceded 56 goals totally. And they come from consecutive three defeats lately.

 

Verdict:

Both side are in poor forms, but Shenzhen FC have upper hand in the past h2h games, with winning the latest three meetings. Back them again in this clash.

 

Pick: Shenzhen FC to win

 

Portugal League Cup - Portimonense vs Gil Vicente Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

On Wednesday, the final two Group E matches of the Portugal League Cup will take place. It will determine which will advance to the 1/8 Final.

 

Portimonense

After defeating SC Covilha 2-0 in their most recent game, they snap their losing streak. Despite their strong defensive play, they struggle offensively, averaging 1.2 goals allowed and 0.7 goals scored over their last 10 games.

 

Gil Vicente

They are currently facing relegation and hold the sixteenth spot in Liga Portugal 1. It is obvious that they currently give the league more attention than the cup. Additionally, they show a poor state on the road, which have been winless for three away games.

 

Verdict:

Portimonense defeated Gil Vicente 1-2 at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos in November, making them have the psychological advantage. It is anticipated that Portimonense are going to win in the coming game.

 

Pick: 1

 

AH Pick: Home 0/-0.5
