All experts predictions

Arsenal and Lens will clash in the fifth round of the Champions League. The French club stunned the English with their victory, becoming the first team to beat the Gunners this season.

Arsenal have performed consistently in most of their matches this season, but their recent exit from the League Cup following a 3-1 defeat to West Ham has dampened their progress. In the Premier League, Arteta's side remain in the race for the lead, maintaining a winning streak in recent games.

In the Champions League, Arsenal suffered only one defeat, giving the victory to Lens (1:2), while occupying the leading position in the group with nine points, four points ahead of their pursuers. Victory in the upcoming match will ensure the team's entry into the playoffs.

Lens now have only one win in the Champions League, one draw and one defeat, which was against Arsenal. The French side are recovering from an initial dip in form at home, but it is believed that this will not be enough to beat Arsenal. The Gunners are looking to secure a place in the play-offs and are expected to perform at a high level.

Prediction: My bet is a handicap (-1.5) on Arsenal, this outcome is valued at 1.93

Galatasaray is holding a very good tournament, yes, the Turks have two defeats in 4 games, but both defeats were against the powerful Bayern in the fight, and the same Manchester United beat Galatasaray in the first round at Old Trafford. In addition, the British have great personnel difficulties, and in general the Red Devils this season do not give the impression of an invincible team, on the contrary. We believe that it is worth betting on the home team based on the set line; we will not be surprised if the Turks win the second match of the tournament against the British. We offer the following betting options for the game

Prediction:The main forecast is the victory of Galatasaray with a handicap (+0.25) for 1.75.

The second forecast is Galatasaray's victory in 2.66.

The third forecast is a victory for Galatasaray with a score of 2:1 in 9.30

Both teams are quite effective, so we expect at least two goals scored in the upcoming game. As for the outcome, we are on the side of the Basques; we believe that Real Sociedad will be able to achieve victory in the home match against the Austrians. Note that the Basques won the first round match against their opponent. In addition, Salzburg has great personnel difficulties, which will definitely not help the Bulls show their full potential in the upcoming game. In this pair we offer the following betting options

Prediction: The main forecast is the victory of Real Sociedad + TB (1.5) for 1.81.

The second forecast is the victory of Real Sociedad with a handicap (-1.5) for 2.40.

The third forecast is the exact score 2:0 for 6.85.

There is a feeling that a productive match awaits us. The first round match between the Germans and the Portuguese pleased us with five goals scored, and we won’t be surprised if the upcoming meeting will also be a high-flying one. “Union” essentially has nothing to lose, playing for a draw is not an option, they need to bring a victory from Portugal in order to count on at least third place in the group. Braga also needs a victory, otherwise we can forget about the playoffs in the Champions League. Both teams are determined for the upcoming meeting. As for the outcome, we will not be surprised if the match ends in a draw. We offer the following betting options for the game:

Prediction:The main forecast is total over (2.5) for 1.77

The second forecast is a draw for 3.70.

The third forecast is the exact score 2:2 for 12.50

In order for Sevilla to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League, the hosts will need a miracle, and victories over PSV and Lens in the final two rounds are the main guarantee of this. However, the Spaniards are at the start of the season, the Spaniards are experiencing enormous problems, while the representative of Eindhoven has gained excellent shape and is churning out victories in the championship one after another.

Prediction: I believe that the teams can disagree peacefully, as happened in the first round.

Expert: Vladimir Andreev- Forecaster

AEK got their campaign off to a great start with a 3-2 win over the Seagulls on the south coast, but they have not been able to build on that.

Ajax claimed a point from their trip to Greece, while Marseille posted a 2-0 win and Brighton look well placed to ensure AEK have only the possibility of falling into the Europa Conference League.

Prediction:Both teams tend to score in Brighton’s matches, but they can come out on top so correct-score punters are steered towards a 2-1 away win.

Expert: Ian Wilkerson - sports journalist

Backa Topola’s defending is an issue

Confidence should not be low in the home camp after they pulled off their best result of the season last time out, winning 4-0 at the home of league leaders Partizan Belgrade.

However, they conceded five times without replay on their recent trip to Freiburg and there are concerns they are no quite up to it defensively at this level.

Predictions:While capable of scoring, they may not keep the Hammers at bay, so a 3-1 away win may be of interest to those who relish a correct-score bet.

Expert: Ian Wilkerson - sports journalist

Despite Sporting's winning streak, it will likely be tougher than the average test they face in the Portuguese league and will likely be demanding.

But Atalanta's defense doesn't look as strong as it did a few weeks ago and the visitors can more than play their part.

Prediction : Gaps may appear at the end, so those who like to bet on the correct score may be attracted to a 2-2 draw.

Expert: Ian Wilkerson - sports journalist

The Greeks lost to the Germans in the first round and are unlikely to be able to achieve a result in the away match. “Olympiacos” is third in the standings and only a victory will return the team to the fight for reaching the playoffs. The Greeks will have to take risks, which means they will open up a lot of space and create a favorable environment for the German club to win.
Prediction: We bet on Freiburg's victory for 1.90.
Expert:  Artem Ivanov – Football expert

The guests will clearly try to score a quick goal. The French are now in better shape than their opponents, who have failed to win three games in a row in the Europa League and have lost two. We believe that Rennes will win and get a ticket to the playoffs. We hope that the “red-blacks” will leave no chance to their opponent, playing on a neutral field in Budapest.

Prediction: Victory for Rennes with odds 1.75
Expert: Sergey Manturov- Tipster

The hosts are the favorites in this matchup. We do not agree with this assumption. The guests are at least playing no worse, and Betis’ motivation for a successful performance in the upcoming confrontation is simply enormous. The Spanish school of football is much stronger than the Czech one, so we bet that the Heliopolitans will win another victory.

Prediction: Our forecast is the victory of Betis with odds 2.75

Expert: Sergey Manturov- Tipster

“Sturm” has an excellent opportunity today not only to guarantee itself third place, but also to remain in the race to advance from the group - for this the hosts need a victory. In general, it is quite possible to get it - Raków has problems with its squad, and in general is far from in the best shape.

Prediction: We believe that guests have no chance –victory for Sturm -1.85.

Liverpool to win high-scoring affair at Anfield

The reverse fixture in Linz in September ended in a 3-1 win for Liverpool and a similar result could be on the cards, making Liverpool to win and both teams to score a good-value option.

That 3-1 win for Liverpool has been followed by two more 3-1 triumphs, making it five 3-1 wins this season. They have scored exactly three goals in eight of their 18 matches this season and a repeat of that scoreline looks likely.

Prediction:Our prediction is that both teams will score.

Toulouse have won both their Europa League home games this season, including a shock win over Liverpool. They can secure a spot in the knockout stages with a win here and Union Saint-Gilloise have lost both their away games by an aggregate scoreline of 5-0.

Prediction: Toulouse victory

Expert: Alex Wrigley

(freesupertips- website with free forecasts for matches)

The Greek team's chances of winning are slim. Moreover, the guests cannot win in the last three games in the Europa League, and lost two. Villarreal won the last two out of three matches in all tournaments, and we believe that even today the Spanish club will not leave a chance to the opponent, taking advantage of its field.

Prediction: Victory of “Villarreal” with odds 1.92

Expert: Sergey Manturov- Tipster

Koln have had the better of Darmstadt in recent times, winning four of their last six meetings, but as the side lower in the table this time around that record may be under threat.

The hosts have drawn with fellow strugglers Mainz and top-half side Freiburg in their past two matches showing their ability to grind out results.

Prediction: But, given that the hosts have conceded ten times in their last four Bundesliga matches and the visitors have conceded just once less in the same number of games, goals at both ends looks a safe bet in this fixture.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Juve may struggle to break down a resolute defence at Stadio Brianteo and they are far from being the most potent side in Italy’s top flight.

They have scored two goals in a game just twice in their last eight matches, with only one of those games seeing the ball hit the net on three occasions.

Similarly, Monza have a habit of being involved in low-scoring affairs – in no small part down to their sturdy defence – having seen just two of their last ten matches go over 2.5 goals.

Prediction: With both league meetings between these sides last season remaining under a total of three goals, and the two teams’ tendencies to be involved in games under that number this term, the same outcome looks likely on Friday

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Getafe may be on a nine-game unbeaten run but six of those have finished level and their two league wins during that run have been home successes against team’s in the bottom five.

Geta are yet to claim an away La Liga victory and three of the four draws they have managed on their travels have come against teams currently in the bottom four.

Las Palmas have made the Estadio Gran Canaria a tough hunting ground this season and at an odds-against price look worth backing against Getafe, despite the fact the visitors are generally tough to beat

Prediction: Another reason to expect a Getafe goal is the fine form of Borja Mayoral. The forward has eight goals in 14 La Liga games this term – matching his tally from last term in 20 fewer appearances – and he’s hit seven goals in his last seven matches in all competitions.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Newcastle players should be acknowledged for their resilience and determination to fight until the end. However, with the significant personnel losses, maintaining peak performance in every game within the current schedule proves challenging. Eddie Howe faces limited opportunities for squad rotation. Considering these circumstances, we believe Manchester United has a chance to secure three points today. Despite the setback of three conceded goals in Istanbul, the team appears committed to addressing and improving upon their mistakes. A crucial advantage lies in the coaching staff's ample opportunities for squad rotation, unlike their opponents. We are inclined to think that the bookmakers may have overestimated the hosts.

Prediction: Manchester United win with Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.90.

In the upcoming round of the Spanish championship, Real Madrid meets Granada at home, and Real Madrid is the clear favorite. Despite numerous injuries to key players, the club maintains a winning streak, having played only a couple of draws in recent months. Ancelotti's team has been winning decisive matches.

Recently, Madrid played a productive match against Napoli in the Champions League, winning 4-2. Despite the fact that Madrid had already secured a playoff spot, the main squad came out victorious in this encounter.

On the other hand, Granada have been experiencing a prolonged winless streak since the end of August, and that's when they picked up their only win of the season. At the moment, they occupy the penultimate place in the La Liga standings. Despite the small gap from the teams above them, it remains unclear whether Granada will be able to consistently earn points in the upcoming matches.

Prediction: (-2) goal handicap on Real Madrid.

In Wolverhampton's last 11 matches, there is a noticeable trend - in each of these games, both teams scored. In other words, you can't call his matches boring.

Arsenal showed a strong performance this week with a 6-0 win over France's Lance in the Champions League to finish top of their group. It's worth recognizing that Mikel Arteta's team may not have clearly played for all six goals, but the weaker caliber of their opponents contributed to the goal tally. The upcoming English Premier League match promises to be more competitive, and goals are likely to be harder to come by.

Timur Zhuravel predicts that Arsenal will find it difficult to keep their gates intact in another home game, and expects Wolverhampton to score at least one goal. However, he is leaning towards the London club winning, suggesting that the final score could be 2-1 or 3-1.

Prediction: Arsenal win + Total of the match over 2.5 goals.

Expert: Timur Zhuravel - football commentator.

With no European football to concern themselves with, Juventus have gone all in on wrestling back the Scudetto this term. The Old Lady sits second in the Serie A table with 10 wins from 14 games, a record they can improve on against Napoli this week.

Napoli’s title defence hasn’t gone to plan, with the club onto their second boss since Luciano Spalletti resigned in the aftermath of their title-winning campaign. The Partenopei have lost three of their last four games coming into Friday night’s encounter, with Inter Milan running out 3-0 winners in Naples last weekend.

Prediction: Juventus have won six of their last seven games to put pressure on Inter Milan and they should prove too strong for the Partenopei in this clash. The champions are winless against the top seven this season, losing to both Inter and Fiorentina. Back Juve to secure the points.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Bochum sit 12th in the table despite improving over recent weeks, although that should be short-lived. The visitors have had a marked defensive improvement of late, having added Keven Schlotterbeck to the starting lineup. The defender’s seven starts this term have all come in Bochum’s last seven league games, in which they have gone from conceding 3.2 goals per game to shipping just seven times in that stretch.

However, Schlotterbeck is suspended for this trip, which could cause problems. They head to a Hoffenheim side who have scored 25 times across their first 13 matches. The hosts do have defensive issues of their own, with both teams scoring in 12 of those 13, including each of their six home games.

Prediction: However, Hoffenheim’s good early form suggests that they can overpower a Bochum side who are set to struggle at the back. Given that, look to a high-scoring game, with Hoffenheim winning and conceding.

Off the back of a five-game winless run, Montpellier look set to struggle in this clash with Lens on Friday night. The visitors make the trip having won four of their last five in Ligue 1, as they move back up the table after a tough start.

The away side have strung together an unbeaten run after a tricky start, jumping up to sixth in the standings. They meet a Montpellier side who have been beaten in six of their seven clashes with sides in the top eight, which makes the visitors look good for an away win.

Prediction: Across the last eight games in Ligue 1, only PSG have picked up more points than Lens. The visitors have really stepped up a gear in recent weeks and they can see off a Montpellier side who tend to struggle against the top teams.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

El Geta beat Valencia 1-0 here in February and are unbeaten at home against Los Ches in five meetings. They have won four of their last six at home and can take all three points on Friday.

A clean sheet could be beyond the hosts, though. Their last home match was a 2-1 win over Almeria and Valencia lost 2-1 in their last away game. The visitors have scored in each of their last four league trips so another 2-1 scoreline appeals.

Anytime goalscorer punters should consider Borja Majoral. The Getafe striker has eight league goals this season and has scored in five of his last seven appearances, while he also scored the winner when these sides last met in February.
Prediction: - Getafe to Win

-Getafe 2-1

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Sevilla still cannot win, although in the last round the team was able to draw at home with Villarreal. “Mallorca” is two points behind the “Nerviones” and if they do not beat the “islanders”, then it is not clear with whom “Sevilla” intends to take three points. It is clear that it will be difficult on the road, but it is obvious that in terms of composition, Sevilla is head and shoulders stronger than its opponent and should go out with the goal of winning.

Prediction: We suggest placing a bet onSevilla’s victory with a handicap (0)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Betis drew with Almeria in the last round, but this was a generally positive result, because from the middle of the first half the Cucumbers played in the minority. “Real” confidently won against “Granada” and now the “creamy” winning streak totals five matches. “Betis” has a far from optimal line of defense, which means that “Real” we expect quite a lot of chances to score goals. Let's add that Real won five of the last seven matches at the Benito Villamarin.

Prediction: Real Madrid win

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Of course, Real Sociedad is performing brilliantly this season, especially in the Champions League, although in La Liga things are not going as we would like. In the last round, the guests failed to beat Osasuna away (1:1), and if we take into account the midweek cup match, this will be the third away match in a row. “Villarreal” already looks good from the first matches under Marcelino and the team can definitely give the opponent a fight on their home field. We believe that bookmakers underestimate Villarreal, since the home field factor is still of great importance, especially since Real Sociedad managed to beat their opponent at home last season.

Prediction: Villarreal's failure to defeat

Expert: Freesupertips - website

This season, Las Palmas is performing somewhat better and deservedly goes higher in the table, while the guests conceded fewer goals, which means they play better in defense. Although this is an away match, we believe that the bookmakers are clearly underestimating the guests, since Alaves is no stronger in composition than its opponent

Prediction: non-defeat of “Las Palmas”

Expert: Freesupertips - website

"Monaco" this season is not playing in European competitions, which is even better for achieving success in the domestic arena. Now the Monegasques are in the Top 3, and the team leader, Alexander Golovin, often gets into the tour team. In addition to the Russian, the Japanese Minamino and the Frenchman Ben Yedder are in order, as a “joker” Balogun may come out. More interesting than "Renna" The guests look good, and they are quite competitive on the road: over the last 35 away matches, “Monaco” seven lesions (20%). This season they lost to PSG and "Lille", which are of a higher level than the skidding "Rennes". Let's not "reinvent the wheel": the guests look better and are ready to at least take a point from Rennes.

Prediction: Monaco will not lose

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Let's talk a little about the favorite's losses. Donnarumma managed to get sent off in the match with Le Havre, plus many injured players, of which Navas, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Zaire-Emery can be distinguished. The Parisians have a strong bench, so we don’t put three points at risk, but they most likely won’t be able to defeat Nantes. The guests have virtually no losses, and in the previous round the team distinguished itself by defeating Nice. - No. 2 in the standings. In addition, the opponent's personnel problems allow the visiting team to count on scoring goals rather than sitting on the defensive. 

Prediction: We offer you to bet on the Nantes plus handicap. (2.5)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

There is a feeling that Borussia and "RB Leipzig" are not fully realizing their potential this season. There are many contrasts in the results of future rivals: Borussia leads in the most difficult group of the Champions League (ahead of Newcastle, PSG and Milan), and RB Leipzig won the German Super Cup, while in the championship the teams are well behind the leading Bayer. What factor will be decisive in their head-to-head duel? We believe that the home stands will help Dortmund. "Borussia" in the new season they won seven out of ten home matches, and the only defeat was against Bayern. Just at "RB Leipzig" weak results on the road - four defeats in five previous meetings, including against Mainz; and two failures in matches with Wolfsburg (in the cup and championship).

Prediction: We would venture to offer as a bet a victory for Borussia Dortmund. with handicap (0)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Union is doing very poorly. The Berlin club is at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings, with nine defeats in 12 matches. By the way, the club is playing in the Champions League this season, but even there the performance is extremely weak. So Borussia has a chance of winning points in this meeting. Even though the guests don’t win on a foreign field so often, they lost only twice. In addition, their performance is much better.

Prediction: Our choice - Borussia Mönchengladbach will not lose for 1.77.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

There is no doubt that Bayern will win this meeting, but it is unlikely that the guests will prevail as confidently as many expect, especially over Eintracht, which knows how to give battle to the Munich team in their arena. The guests are very strong on the road, but their opponent at home suffered only two defeats in 10 matches of the season. A fight awaits, in which the hosts, if they don’t take points, will be extremely close.

Prediction: Our choice is “Eintracht” handicap (+1.5)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Although “Freiburg” is a little higher in the table, here it is worth giving preference to “Wolfsburg”. The home team are doing pretty well at home this season - five wins in eight matches. But his opponent has been unstable on the road lately. At the same time, we must not forget that Freiburg is still spending energy on European competitions, but its counterparts are not.

Prediction: Our choice is the victory of “Wolfsburg” with a handicap (0)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Augsburg has gained decent shape - the team has not lost in the Bundesliga for six matches in a row. In the upcoming meeting, the guests also have a chance to grab points, and all three. Werder are extremely unstable at home and, on average, concede slightly more than they score. But the most important thing is that in four of the previous five head-to-head matches, the home team lost to their counterparts.

Prediction: Our choice is the victory of “Augsburg” with a handicap (0)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Let us remember that last year these teams played in the Second Bundesliga. Now a third of the new season is behind us, who has adapted better to the elite division? By all indicators, this is “Heidenheim”: yes, the lead in points is minimal (11 versus nine), but the hosts also score more (1.38 goals per game, the guests score 1.15) and concede less (28 goals in 13 rounds, for comparison, Darmstadt had 34 conceded).

During the 2022/23 season of the Second Bundesliga, the teams crossed paths twice and again we note the advantage of Heidenheim: a win at home and a draw away. 

Prediction: Based on a combination of factors, we suggest making a bet on the victory of Heidenheim with handicap (0)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

In the previous round, Inter managed to confidently beat Napoli on the road with a score of 3:0 and thus the Milanese club continues to lead in Serie A. Udinese drew with Verona with a score of 3:3 and Now the guests are only in 16th place in the table. “Inter” is now in excellent shape, while Simone Inzaghi has more than once sent out from the first minutes far from the most basic squad, which also coped with the goal and achieved victory, and with such an opponent as “Udinese”, the home team must easily deal

Prediction: We take the victory of “Inter” with a handicap (-1.5)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

“Atalanta” lost to “Torino” in the last round with a score of 0:3 and this is the third defeat of the “Bergamas” in the last four matches. “Milan” won against “Frosinone” and this was not even the most optimal lineup. Right now, Milan looks somewhat better than the opponent, but we fully admit that Pioli may not release all the leaders from the first minutes, since the most important away match against Newcastle is ahead.

Prediction: Still, even with all this, we believe that Milan will be closer to victory and a reliable choice would benot defeating Milan

Expert: Freesupertips - website

“Verona” has not won for a very long time, but in the last round the team played a fun match with “Udinese”, which ended with a score of 3:3. “Lazio” will now try to catch up in Serie A, since the guests are only in ninth place in the standings. At the same time, it should be noted that the “eagles” have lost five of seven away matches this season and it is clear that “Verona” will come out to fight, they have nowhere to retreat, since the team is already in the relegation zone.

Prediction: We suggest taking a risk and placing a bet onnon-defeat of Verona

“Liverpool” has gained an excellent momentum and has already played eight league matches without defeat – five wins and three draws. Crystal Palace have only one point from the last four rounds. The Londoners are defending their right to remain in the Premier League and are in poor shape heading into the match with the title contender - Klopp's men are second in the table and only two points behind Arsenal. The current form of the teams and the difference in class between them speaks in favor of Liverpool's success.

Prediction: We bet on Liverpool's victory

Expert: Freesupertips - website

In the last round, Aston Villa destroyed Manchester City one game at a time and achieved another home victory. The Birmingham team have won all seven home matches in the current Premier League and are currently competing for the title. “Arsenal” is on the move, but has lost three of its last seven trips this season. The Birmingham Lions are unstoppable at home, and a victory over the reigning champion of England should only add strength and confidence to Emery's men. Unai himself also won’t mind beating Arsenal, recalling his recent resignation from the London club.

Prediction: We bet on the victory of “Aston Villa” 

Expert: Freesupertips - website

“Burnley” have just returned from the Championship and are not yet at the level of the Premier League. “Burgundy” got only seven points and still remain in penultimate place in the standings. They have lost their last five away games and can hardly count on anything against Brighton, who have only one defeat in their last nine matches and the pitch factor to boot.

Prediction: We bet on the victory of “Brighton” with a handicap (-1.5)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

The Mancunians won four of the last five rounds of the English Championship and joined the fight for a place in the TOP-4. “Bournemouth” went on a streak of four matches without defeat, but this is unlikely to contribute to a positive result at Old Trafford. Midweek, the Red Devils showed excellent football against Chelsea and will certainly want to consolidate the result they achieved. Moreover, the Cherries are a convenient opponent for the Mancunians. United have beaten Bournemouth three times in a row, as well as five of their previous six home meetings with the Cherries in the Premier League. Bournemouth have three defeats in their last five trips.

Prediction: We bet onthe victory of “Manchester United” with a handicap (-1.5)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Sheffield United still bottoms the league table, but now the club has hope of salvation. The Blades returned the experienced Wilder to the post of head coach. A change of coach always adds emotions and the team can easily count on a positive result in the next match. “Sheffield United” managed to play under Wilder against “Liverpool” - a defeat, but it was not so easy for the Merseysiders. “Brentford” is a much more convenient opponent. The Bees are not one of the giants of English football and have suffered three defeats in their last four matches. In addition, Brentford have lost four of their last six trips. We also note the fact that Sheffield United has not lost to Brentford in five matches in a row – three wins and two draws.

Prediction: We bet on Sheffield United winning with a handicap (0)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

The hosts are the favorites of the match according to the bookmakers and it is difficult to argue with them. “Nottingham Forest” is clearly in crisis - they are on a series of four defeats. In addition, the Foresters look weak on the road – six losses in eight such matches. “Wolves” are unbeaten in five home matches in a row – three of them were victories.

Prediction: We bet on Wolverhampton's victory

Expert: Freesupertips - website

On average, Frosinone scores exactly two goals at home and Torino scores only 0.86 away goals. The guests failed to score away only in matches against Juventus, Lazio and Bologna, but they can play against Frosinone, because the opponent plays attacking football and spends less time on defense.

Prediction: We suggest placing a bet on both will score - yes

Expert: Freesupertips - website

In the previous round, Atlético lost away to Barcelona with a score of 0:1, but overall no disaster happened, since the gap to the first line was seven points, while the home team still had a game in hand. “Almeria” is in last place in the table and has scored only four points; the guests have 11 defeats in 15 matches. It will be important for the “Mattress Makers” to react to the defeat in the last round, while it is hard to believe that the guests will be able to do anything to oppose the opponent.

Prediction: We take the victory of “Atlético” with a handicap (-1.5)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

In the last round, Barcelona managed to win an important victory at home over Atlético with a score of 1:0, but now they have a derby against Girona, which is the opening team of this season. Note that “Girona” is ahead of the “blue garnets” by four points, i.e. even if Barça wins, the guests will remain in second place. Of course, Barcelona has much more experienced players, but Girona has already demonstrated that it can now play on equal terms with absolutely any team, and even the only defeat from Real was not entirely deserved. We believe that the odds for the guests are too high; the bookmakers clearly underestimate Girona, because the guests have only one defeat in 15 rounds.

Prediction: We take Girona’s victory with a handicap (+1.5)

Expert: Freesupertips - website

“Marseille” failed in the first half of the season, but the last two victories with a total score of 5:0 restored the fans’ faith in the team. Gennaro Gattuso has a quality squad at his disposal, so sooner or later the “blue and white” had to get involved. Will Marseille continue their winning streak?

We are convinced that yes. “Lorient” does not win five matches in a row, and in general, it has only scored 12 points in 14 rounds and is in the “play zone”. We don’t believe that in the current state the home team will be able to take points from Marseille, which is still in crisis but is gradually gaining momentum.

Prediction: Our choice: away win

Expert: Freesupertips - website

“Roma” is now in good shape, in general, the “Romans” have scored ten points over the last four matches and are now in fourth place, which is quite good. Fiorentina is only one point behind, although the visitors have lost three times in their last five matches. If we take the last head-to-head matches, then “Roma” won two victories at home and the “violets” won two victories at home. Of course, the home field factor must be taken into account, especially since the Violets lost to Lazio at the Olimpico not long ago. In our opinion, “Roma” at least should not lose, especially since the “Romans” won five victories in seven matches at home.

Prediction: Let's take the victory of “Roma” with a handicap (0)

Cagliari are unbeaten in their last three home games with seven points from the last nine available. Sassuolo have three defeats in six trips but they have had some tough away games and they’ve managed a win at Inter – so there is a good chance this could finish all square and a 2-2 draw has some appeal in the correct score market, as both of these sides are conceding on average just under two goals per-game.

Prediction: Domenico Berardi is enjoying a good season for Sassuolo despite their struggles with seven goals in 12 games. The Italy international has two goals and two assists in his last three games for club and country and can add to his account at Cagliari on Monday.

Celta Vigo head to Rayo Vallecano in La Liga’s Monday night clash chasing their first victory in 11 league games. Rafa Benitez’s return to Spain’s top flight hasn’t been ideal, with his Celta side sat 18th as we approach the half-way point of the campaign.

Celta come into the clash having improved in recent weeks, drawing three of their last four games in the league. Their defensive issues haven’t gone away, but the visitors are scoring goals and staying competitive. Four of their last five in all competitions have seen both teams score, with their attack delivering.

Prediction: With Celta conceding in 14 of their 15 games this term, back both defences to struggle, with both teams to score the best option.

Qualification for the Champions League knockout stages is not possible for Lens or Sevilla but Tuesday’s showdown in Group B will determine which side finishes third and drops into the Europa League

A home win is the way to go against travel-sick Sevilla, who have lost three of their last four aways.

Their only wins on the road this term came against lower-league opposition in the Copa del Rey and they could struggle in this one.

Prediction: 2-0 win for the home side could be the way to go.

These sides met on matchday one of this season’s Champions League with Arsenal thrashing PSV 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium.

Since then, though, PSV have put together a terrific 15-game unbeaten run in competitive matches, having won two and drawn two of their remaining games in Group B.

Even in their win over Luton last Tuesday, Arsenal were pushed to their limits, eventually prevailing 4-3 against the Hatters thanks to a 97th-minute strike from Declan Rice

Prediction: Goals could again be on the cards in this one and PSV to win 2-1 looks a decent correct score pick.

“Lecce” is gradually moving down the standings, while if we take the teams’ recent performances, “Empoli” looks even better than its opponent. We also take into account the home field factor, so we fully admit that Empoli has good chances in this match

Prediction: Lecce have no away wins, which also speaks to the home team's chances, and I suggest betting on Empoli to win with a handicap (0).

Copenhagen and Galatasaray will do battle at Parken Stadium, a winner-takes-all stadium where a win for either side will see them through and make United's result irrelevant, whether they win or not.

And Galatasaray, in our forecast, will win a decisive victory in the Danish capital, since the Danes are winless in four matches, and in their last match they suffered a home defeat to Aarhus with a score of 2:1.

That winless run saw them draw 0-0 with Bayern Munich in the Champions League, but that result in Munich can be taken with a grain of salt as the Germans slowed down having already completed qualification.

Prediction: Galatasaray will come out of the game strong and we predict they will win, but it would be wise to keep the draw.

Real Madrid sealed top spot in Champions League Group C with something to spare and they can finish the group stage with a perfect record of six wins from six fixtures
Union have had a miserable campaign following their fourth-placed finish in the Bundesliga last term, and they have won just one of their last 17 matches. That came at the weekend against Borussia Monchengladbach and that 3-1 should give them a timely confidence boost.

They can still seal an unlikely third place in the group, and a possible Europa League place, but it’s expected that the Spanish giants will be too strong even though they may not need to get out of second gear this week.

Prediction: An away win with both teams scoring is our main prediction, and we fancy the score-line to finish 3-1, but there could be some value in the goal-scorer markets too.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Current form isn’t great for the Naples outfit who lost to Real Madrid after conceding two very late goals in the Bernabeu, were well beaten by Serie A leaders Inter and fell to a 1-0 loss at Juventus despite enjoying 66 percent of possession.

That loss at Juve last Friday saw them manage just one shot on target but they should improve on that against a Braga side who have kept just one clean sheet in their last 18 outings.

Braga have to win to go through from the group and that could leave them open to counter attacks from the Italians.

Prediction: We predict a home win at the Diego Maradona Stadium with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Top spot is still to be decided and that could be crucial when the draw for the next stage is made with those finishing first expected to bag a slightly easier tie.

Sociedad are in the box seat with goal difference meaning they are in first place ahead of this crucial contest with Inter. They can sit back and look to keep things tight with a draw enough to see them win the group.

A cagey contest looks likely in San Siro so the prediction is for this match to feature no more than two goals.

Prediction: It was 1-1 when these two met earlier in the group and a similar outcome looks likely

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Newcastle have been hit by a plethora of injuries this season, but it is a testament to Eddie Howe that they have fought through the lengthy absence of key players such as Sven Botman and Harvey Barnes to remain in the fight for knockout football in Europe.

A draw would be enough to see the Magpies into the Europa League knockout stage – a remarkable achievement given the group they were placed in – and they can show their mettle once again on Wednesday and fight through their injury situation once more.

Nick Pope will be a big miss, but Milan are known to misfire and the defence in front of Martin Dubravka can help the Slovak out and the hosts can quickly put their two heavy away defeats at Everton and Spurs behind them.

Prediction: A draw would do for Newcastle but, as a mightily ambitious club, they will be looking for three points in the hope Dortmund can do them a favour so the Magpies can continue on their Champions League journey.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

RB Leipzig let a two-goal lead slip to lose 3-2 at Manchester City in gameweek five but their progression to the Champions League knockout stages is assured and they will be keen to sign off with a win on Wednesday.

Prediction: The Germans’ only failures to win in the Champions League in their last 11 outings have come against Manchester City and they are justified favourites to beat a Young Boys side that are locked in third place in Group G.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Atletico are a formidable force at home, where they have won all ten games in all competitions this season, but clean sheets have been harder to come by.

Diego Simeone’s side have conceded in eight of those ten home wins so Lazio should be confident of making their mark, although it is likely to be in defeat.

The Italians have won only three of their ten away games this season and this looks a daunting task for them at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Prediction: So Atletico are taken to prevail in a high-scoring encounter and, having scored exactly three goals in five of their ten home matches this season, a 3-1 victory appeals most.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

The hosts may have picked up just one point from five games so far but they have regularly been a threat going forward, scoring in four of their five group games and even taking the lead at the Etihad in gameweek one. Their attackers will fancy their chances against what is likely to be an inexperienced back line, although their issues at the back should grant the visitors plenty of opportunities, too.

Barak Bakhar’s side have shipped 12 goals in five games so far and have conceded at least twice in all of them, including a 3-1 defeat in Manchester in September.

Prediction: Both of these sides have seen goals at both ends in four of their five group games so far and Manchester City have conceded in each of their last six in all competitions, so backing both teams to score is advised.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

PSG were easily intimidated by the cauldron-like atmosphere in their earlier group stage match at Newcastle where they lost 4-1 and the ambience in Dortmund will be similar to what the Parisians faced on Tyneside, which could lead to another poor result for Luis Enrique’s side.

Dortmund beat the Magpies 2-0 in their last Champions League home and have been solid at Signal Iduna Park of late, also beating the likes of Borussia Monchengladbach and Hoffenheim recently and going four games without conceding on their own patch in this tournament.

Paris Saint-Germain need a win to ususurp their hosts at the top of Group F while a point for Dortmund would be enough to see them top this Champions League section.

Prediction: Backed by the infamous Yellow Wall, they should get the result they need to go through to the knockout phase as group winners.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Goals have been a problem this season with just 18 scored in 16 league fixtures but United have to throw everything at this game as only a win will keep alive their hopes of making the Champions League knockout phase.

They will also be reliant on results elsewhere but can be expected to play on the front foot, so that points to a high-scoring game.

Both teams to score is a worthwhile selection but Bayern will likely just be too strong and can record a morale-boosting win in Manchester.

Prediction: A 3-1 win looks the way to go in the correct score market while Harry Kane, who has scored four times in this season’s Champions League, is a decent anytime goalscorer pick.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

It was 2-0 to Salzburg when these two met in Lisbon on Match Day one and they are a solid bunch to beat on home soil.

Eight of Salzburg’s last ten matches on home soil have seen one or both teams fail to score and they have kept six clean sheets in their last ten home encounters.

Salzburg have third place in their grasp and they have no need to force the issue on Tuesday, with Benfica facing a win or bust assignment.

Prediction: The home side can hold firm and we predict a comfortable win for the Austrians once again.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Porto have won seven of their last ten matches in all competitions and should be able to progress to the knockout stages with another victory in this clash. The home side can use Shakhtar’s must win mentality against them and thrive on the counter attack.

However both teams have found the net in their last six matches and they may concede again in this one.

Prediction: Correct score backers should consider a 2-1 victory for the hosts as they progress alongside Barcelona to the knockout stages.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Feyenoord having also suffered defeats on their trips to Atletico and Lazio, meaning they have now lost their last nine Champions League away games, Celtic may be able to end their campaign on a high.

The Hoops have lost only one of their last 29 home games in all competitions and, with Rodgers likely to demand a positive response, they make plenty of appeal in the draw no bet market.

Prediction: Both teams have scored in six of Celtic’s last seven home games so correct-score punters can side with a 2-1 home win

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Considering Barcelona's current form and her leading position in the group, they certainly go into this match as favourites. However, it is worth remembering that thanks to Royal Antwerp's consistent home form, the game may prove more competitive than many expect. A possible prediction for this match is a confident victory for Barcelona. with a score of 1-4 in favor of Royal Antwerp.

Prediction: This means that despite the favoritism of Barcelona, ​​Royal Antwerp can demonstrate his strength and score a goal in the match, while Barcelona will maintain its advantage and win by a significant margin.

Expert: Alexander Mostovoy - forward of Spartak, Spanish Celta and the Russian national team, and now a site expert.

The Italians won the group ahead of schedule and advanced to the playoffs of the second most important European Cup tournament. They go to Poland without motivation and are unlikely to put in much effort - it is better to save their energy for more important matches. “Raków”, if they win, can take third place and get into the playoffs of the UEFA Conference League.

Prediction: Therefore, we bet on the victory of the football club “Raków” .

 Lisbon “Sporting” will play against “Storm” in the 6th round of the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. The head-to-head competition between the teams is scheduled for December 14, 2023 and will take place at the Jose Alvalade Stadium.
 Sporting guaranteed themselves second place and will no longer rise higher in the standings. However, the Portuguese are playing at home and are unlikely to act carelessly. “Storm” need points, but the Austrians are noticeably weaker and have looked unimportant on the road lately – only one win in four matches

Prediction: We bet on Sporting's victory 

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

“Aris” will play against “Sparta” Prague in the 6th round of the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.

In the first round, “Sparta” won at home 3:2, and now the Cypriots will try to make the most of the field factor. However, “Aris” cannot boast of stability and has won only two of the last six matches. “Sparta” is on a streak of five victories and will make every effort to extend it.

Prediction: We bet on the victory of “Sparta”

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

Betis will host Rangers in the 6th round of the UEFA Europa League group stage.

Betis is first, and Rangers are second. There is one point difference between them, and there is no guarantee of the playoffs yet. Sparta Prague is also competing with them for a ticket to the relegation games. The Scots won at home in the first round, but can hardly count on a positive result in Spain. “Betis” are of a higher class and, in addition, have not lost at home this season – seven wins and three draws.

Prediction: We bet on Betis victory 

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

Brighton will host Marseille in the 6th round of the Europa League group stage. The match between them will take place on December 14, 2023 and will take place at the Amex Stadium.

The meeting of the teams in the first round ended in a draw. In the return, the English club is considered the favorite. “Brighton” is still second in the standings, but if they win they will overtake “Marseille” and win the quartet. The teams are in good shape, but the pitch factor is on the side of the Seagulls. “Marseille” achieved only two victories in 11 trips during the current season.

Prediction: We bet on Brighton's victory

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

The opponents lost the last three rounds of the tournament and will now compete for third place in the group and a ticket to the playoffs of the UEFA Conference League, respectively. “Ajax”, after a terrible start, began to improve and increasingly achieve positive results – the Amsterdam club is approaching the reporting meeting on a series of three victories. AEK have only two wins in their last five trips. We assume that “Ajax” uses the current form and field factor.

Prediction: bet on Ajax’s victory

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

The Serbs gained only one point in the group and are now at the bottom of the standings. Only a victory will suit them, but it’s hard to believe in such an outcome - the team is noticeably inferior to the Greeks in class. A draw would be enough for Olympiacos, but the hosts definitely won’t take risks and play for a draw, especially since the meeting will be held in front of their home stands.

Prediction: We bet on the victory of Olympiacos

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

West Ham will host Freiburg as part of the 6th round of the UEFA Europa League group stage. The meeting between them will take place on December 14, 2023 at the London Stadium.

In the first round, the Hammers won 2:1 away. Before the home game they are considered favorites and have a real chance to justify this status. The Londoners won both home matches in the Europa League and are also unbeaten on their home soil in four matches, taking into account different tournaments and competitions. “Freiburg” suffered three defeats in six previous trips.

Prediction: We bet on West Ham United to win

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

“Qarabag” reserves its chances to qualify for the playoffs in the final round of the Europa League group stage. To do this, the club just needs to get a home win over Hecken. The match will start on December 14th

Qarabag has enough motivation before the upcoming confrontation - in case of victory, the club practically guarantees itself second place and passage to the Europa League playoffs. “Hecken”, in turn, played too poorly in this tournament - zero points in five rounds. It is simply pointless for the club to fight in Azerbaijan, so it is unlikely that the guests will be able to grab points.

Prediction: You can bet on Qarabag handicap (-1) for 1.51.

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

Bayer no longer has any tournament motivation left within the Europa League. Even in the previous round, he rotated his squad without particularly involving the leaders, so this time the situation will most likely repeat itself, which should give Molde a free hand, because the opponent needs to take the maximum points - there is an opportunity for this, after all, the club currently has an unbeaten streak of six matches in a row.

Prediction: You can bet that Molde will not lose

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

“Slavia” before the final round of the group stage of the Europa League has a clear advantage over “Roma”, the main pursuer. A home victory over Servette should ensure its passage to the ⅛ finals. The match will start on December 14th 

Slavia’s advantage lies not only in the fact that it needs to win at any cost in order to get into the playoffs from the first position in the group. The team, in addition to this, also wins 65% of its meetings this season, and the fact that it was able to beat Roma at home says a lot. “Servette” was unable to show a decent result; in the last round he had nothing to fight for.

Prediction: You can bet on Slavia's handicap (-1)

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

With a four-point cushion at the top of Group E, Liverpool have already wrapped up top spot ahead of their final Europa League game of 2023. The Reds head straight into the last 16, which means they can rotate for this visit to Belgium with an eye on Sunday’s clash with Manchester United.

For Union Saint-Gilloise, there’s plenty to play for in what could be their final European clash of the campaign. The hosts could yet leapfrog Toulouse into second, while they could slip behind LASK and fall out of European competition completely with a defeat.

Prediction: With USG scoring at least twice in their last seven home games, back them to pull off a huge win.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Roma and Sheriff will play each other at the Olympic Stadium in the sixth round of the group stage of the Europa League. The intrigue for the Italians remains until the last moment - it is important for them to win. 

Roma before the last round of the Europa League simply has no choice but to take three points against Sheriff and hope that the situation will turn out positively in another meeting. The guests from Moldova have already lost any chance even of the Conference League, and one point from five meetings in the group stage speaks for itself about the class of this team.

Prediction: You can bet on Roma's handicap (-2) 

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

The final confrontation will take place between Panathinaikos and Maccabi Haifa in the fight for the Conference League. Which club will be able to get three points and move on?

Panathinaikos and Maccabi Haifa are having almost the same season this year. It is surprising that the hosts, for example, have 50% of victories in matches, and the guests - 45%, they are only slightly inferior to the Greek team. The position in the Europa League group, in general, can also be called equal, because they are separated by only two points. Everything goes to the point that it will not be possible to determine the winner.

Prediction: You can bet on a draw 

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

A serious fight will ensue between Rennes and Villarreal in the sixth round of the Europa League. The home team has the advantage, so the guests only need to take the maximum points.

The Rennes and Villarreal clubs are having an extremely unstable season in their own championships, they win only 35% of their meetings, but in the Europa League the situation is excellent for them - the teams are fighting for first place and for direct passage in the ⅛ Europa League. Most likely, none of them will be able to get three points and gain a clear advantage; they are in the same shape.

Prediction: You can bet on a draw

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

Before the last round of the group stage of the Europa League, LASK still has a chance to get into at least the Conference League. To do this, the team needs to get three points at the Raiffeisen Arena against Toulouse.

Toulouse must retain at least one point in the upcoming confrontation with LASK, since this is what should allow the French to reach the Europa League playoffs. Of course, the guests have every opportunity to get there, especially considering the fact that the Austrian club is having a bad run in this European Cup - it is in last position with only three points to its name, so it is seriously inferior in class to its opponent.

Prediction: You can bet that “Toulouse” will not lose 

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

“Darmstadt” does not achieve much in its debut season after returning to the “elite”. Judge for yourself: two wins, three draws and nine defeats. Nevertheless, from time to time the outsider produces good games - for example, you can remember the victories over Werder (4:2) and Augsburg (2:1), or the epic draw with Borussia Monchengladbach (3:3). We lead to the fact that “Darmstadt” is not as hopeless as it might seem at first glance.

We will surprise you, but in this case we will believe in the home team. The fact is that Wolfsburg is playing toothless away games this season: one win and six defeats, and it is also important to note the frightening goal difference of 7:18. It won’t be easy, but on their home field, the outsider is capable of putting up a fight and at least clinging to a draw. We don’t believe in visiting Wolfsburg at all.

Prediction: Our choice: Darmstadt win or draw 

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

Borussia has only four points in the last five rounds of the Bundesliga. However, we look at the level of opposition in this segment: Bayern, Leipzig, Bayer, Stuttgart and Borussia Mönchengladbach. Actually, there is no talk of a crisis, and the recent not very successful results are associated exclusively with the complex calendar.

Will Edin Terzic's team score three points in the 15th round? Rather yes than no. We don’t argue that Augsburg is a tough nut to crack, especially when it comes to home matches. However, the home team does not have a single win against top-6 opponents this season, and that says a lot. “Augsburg” will give a fight, but we are convinced that the middle peasant of the championship does not have enough resources to beat the “Bumblebees”.

Prediction: Our choice: win of Borussia D with a handicap (0)

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

“Mainz” is doing poorly: one victory in 14 rounds and the last place in the standings behind them. However, it is the “carnival people” who are presented as the favorite in this confrontation. Why?

It's simple: Heidenheim may be higher in the table, but on the road they do not pose a real threat. Let's not be unfounded: on the road, Frank Schmidt's team gained only one point in seven matches, and also conceded an average of 2.57 goals. If Mainz does not beat such a toothless opponent, then the season can end right now. We do not recommend playing with handicaps, but the home team is obliged to take their three points.

Prediction: We bet on Mainz to win

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

Villa are an exceptional force on their own patch but they are also underrated on their travels, having taken four points off Tottenham and Bournemouth in their last two league road trips.

The 1-1 draw away to Zrinjski in the Europa Conference League on Thursday was underwhelming but Emery rightfully put out a second-string side with his team already through and that should not impact the legs of the first team as a result.

Six of Villa’s last eight matches in all competitions have seen the net bulge at both ends, though, and a 2-1 win for the visitors could be the way to go in the correct score market.

Prediction: It is hard to find a team across Europe oozing more confidence than Villa right now and they are a decent bet to win away to Brentford.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Köln have started to turn things around of late, taking six points from their last five games and only losing once. However, with four defeats and just one win away from home this term, expect Freiburg to take all three points as they try to break into the top six.

Both teams have scored in four of Freiburg’s last five games and  Köln  have scored in four of their six away games this season, so backing goals at both ends appeals.

Prediction: A 2-1 win for the hosts looks the best bet in the correct score market. They have scored exactly twice in two of their last four at home and  Köln  have scored exactly one goal in four of their last six on the road.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Girona are surprise leaders in the Spanish top flight but Real Madrid are only two points adrift and have been going well.

Los Blancos are on a 15-game unbeaten run in all competitions and will have had an extra couple of days rest compared to Villarreal with their latest European endeavour – a 3-2 win over Union Berlin – coming on Tuesday.

Five of their last six victories have been by a margin of two or more and that run has included a 4-2 win over Napoli and a 5-1 mauling of Valencia.

Prediction: Back them to win by two or more goals, while the best correct score pick could be 3-1 to the hosts.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Marseille failed to top their Europa League group after losing to Brighton on Thursday but they should return to winning ways in comfortable fashion against Clermont on Sunday.

The hosts have taken ten points from their last four Ligue 1 matches and look to have recovered well after a difficult autumn period. They are yet to lose a league game at the Stade Orange Velodrome and much of that is down to their excellent defensive showings.

The visitors have failed to score in nine of their 15 Ligue 1 games this season and have lost to nil in six of those, so Marseille to win to nil looks an excellent bet and a 3-0 correct score prediction appeals, too.

Prediction: Les Phoceens have conceded just one goal in their seven home league assignments, keeping a clean sheet in each of their last six and winning to nil four times, so they should have the beating of a Clermont side that have only scored once in their last four outings.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Almeria is in terrible shape and now the team is in last place in the standings with four points. The home team lost in 12 of 16 matches and there are still no victories. “Mallorca” is in 15th place and is performing slightly better, and even though the guests are playing away, there is a good chance of success against such a weak “Almeria”. Since the home team still has no victories,

Prediction: we therefore suggest placing a bet onnon-defeat of “Mallorca”

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

“Lorient” have not won for six matches in a row and are in the direct relegation zone. In the 16th round of the French League 1, the outsider will take on “Strasbourg”, which is also not doing everything right yet - four wins in 15 rounds and tenth place under its belt. What to expect from a face-to-face dispute between two crisis teams?

We see Lorient as the favorite, which is surprising. It is clear that the outsider has the motivation and the field factor behind him, but the team’s performance simply does not work out at all. In 15 rounds of Ligue 1, the Reds have only won two victories, and also concede an average of almost two goals per game - 1.93, to be precise.

Yes, “Strasbourg” is also not having the strongest season. However, recently the guests have been steadily gaining points - they lost only one of the five previous matches. Moreover, during this period there were matches with strong “Marseille”, “Brest” and “Le Havre”. Both in terms of the game and in terms of the quality of the squad, “Strasbourg” looks even more preferable compared to the opponent.

Prediction: Our choice: away win or draw

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

Both teams have a chance in this match, but we suggest paying attention to a few things. Firstly, Udinese is playing quite successfully against Sassuolo and the home team has never lost in the last ten head-to-head meetings. Secondly, the guests conceded more goals on the road than any other team in Serie A. We believe that Udinese can still beat the opponent on their home field, but to be safe, we’ll take the win with a zero handicap

Prediction: We bet on Udinese’s victory

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

In this confrontation, we support the attacking side, which can become the main hero of this match, while the defense, in turn, has not been performing well lately. In addition, the desire to earn tournament points and improve their position in the standings will give extra strength and motivation to break through the opponent's defense. Both teams necessarily have scored in the last five matches between them, and we do not rule out that the same will happen today.

Prediction: Our prediction - both scores

"Atletico" suffered a defeat over the weekend. However, the match proved to be challenging for Simeone's team, as their opponent was also the ambitious "Athletic," fighting for a spot in European competitions. The final score of the game was 0-2. Recently, the "mattress makers" failed to earn points in a match against "Barcelona" (0-1). In the other games, "Atletico" demonstrated confident play and achieved victories. In La Liga, the team currently occupies the fourth place and has managed to advance to the playoffs in the Champions League.

Of course, "Getafe" has a less filled schedule. The club does not participate in European competitions. Lately, the team has been performing exceptionally well, with only one loss to "Las Palmas" (0-2) in two months. Most of their recent games have been won, allowing them to rise to eighth place in La Liga. However, during this time, the team did not face strong opponents from the top of the table. Now, the team will face a good test.

Prediction: We bet on Atlético to win with a handicap (-1)

Expert: Alexander Mostovoy - forward of Spartak, Spanish Celta and the Russian national team, and now a site expert.

Girona went into the latest round of La Liga fixtures as the league leaders and they can make sure they finish at the top of the pile by seeing off Alaves on Monday. The Catalan club have been in incredible form with nine wins and no defeats in their last 10 games across all competitions.

They face an Alaves side who have lost three of their last six in La Liga and are yet to claim an away win in the league, losing five of their eight trips.

As such, a home win is expected but Alaves can at least get on the scoresheets. Girona have conceded in each of their last seven games – shipping 10 goals in total – and Alaves have only failed to score in one of their last seven away from home.

Prediction: A 2-1 win for Girona appeals as Alaves have only conceded more than twice in one game this season – and that was a 4-3 win – so the hosts are unlikely to win by a huge margin

Expert: Freesupertips - website

This match will feature matches between neighbors in the standings, and both teams really want to break their long streak without a win. If you look at the history of head-to-head meetings, then the advantage is on the side of Rayo Vallecano, especially since the team always plays quite well at home. “Valencia”, although in a good mood, cannot help but take into account the fact that the “bats” have only one victory in nine away matches.

Prediction: A draw is very likely here, but we still give a slight advantage to the home team, so we’ll take Rayo Vallecano’s victory with a handicap (0)

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

Werder are not doing well this Bundesliga season. “Bremen” is only in 14th place, and in 15 rounds they managed to lose eight times. The team's defense is absolutely dysfunctional: 29 goals conceded in 15 games, an average of 1.93. It’s not without reason that we focus on defense, since Leipzig has strong attacking performance – they score an average of 2.47 goals. Plus, now Marco Rose’s gang is on the move: they won three victories in a row in the championship, beating strong Hoffenheim (3:1) and Borussia Dortmund (3:2) during this period.

We don’t believe that Werder, given the defensive problems mentioned above, will hold back the driving and running Leipzig. It may not be an easy walk, but the Bulls will take their three points from Bremen.

Prediction: We take the away win 

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

Darmstadt is in deep crisis. Guests in the Bundesliga have not won eight matches in a row - six defeats and two draws. In the last round, the outsider spent more than a half in the power play against Wolfsburg, but still managed to lose with a minimal score. We don’t believe in a drastic transformation of the “lilies”, but there is a game ahead against a much better opponent.

Yes, “Hoffenheim” itself is far from optimal form. Over the last ten matches, taking into account all tournaments, the “villages” have only three victories. But still, we are talking about the seventh team of the championship and one of the obvious contenders for a place in the top 6. The home team has the resources to add and make up for the unsuccessful period. Even in its current state, “Hoffenheim” looks two heads stronger than the relative even more crisis debutant. 

Prediction: Our choice: Hoffenheim victory 

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

“Atlético” failed the away match against “Atlético”, again little worked in the attack, while there were holes in the defense that were exploited by the “Atlético” players. “Getafe” destroyed Sevilla on the road with a score of 3:0, while the “villages” demonstrated high-quality football both in attack and defense. It is worth noting that although Atlético has eight victories at home, five of them were won with a difference of only one goal. Getafe lost only twice on the road in nine matches with a difference of two or more goals. We believe that the “villages” have every chance to give battle to the opponent and even if the guests lose, it will be by no more than one goal. 

Prediction: We bet on the victory of “Getafe” with a handicap (+1.5)

After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Valencia, Barcelona will look to return to winning ways in La Liga when they take on Almeria on Matchday 18. The Catalan outfit are seven points behind league leaders Real Madrid, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for Robert Lewandowski and Co. Ferran Torres is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Inigo Martinez, Marcos Alonso, Gavi and Marc-Andre ter Stegen remain on the sidelines with injuries.

The Andalusians, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only five points on their account. Anyhow, David faces Goliath at Estadio Olimpico and anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. All Marko Milovanovic, Ibrahima Kone, Luis Suarez, and Martin Svidersky are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the away team, while Iddrisu Baba is pushing for a start following his fine performance in a goalless draw with Mallorca.

Prediction: 3-1 (Barcelona)

Eintracht Frankfurt will be aiming to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen when they take on Borussia M’gladbach in the Bundesliga round 16. Die Adler rolled over Bayern Munich 5-1 in their last home game, which is surely fueling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of M’gladbach. Fit-again Tunisia midfielder Ellyes Skhiri is pushing for a start, while Lucas Alario misses out through suspension. All Robin Koch, Kristijan Jakic, Timothy Chandler, Sebastian Rode, and Mehdi Loune remain in the recovery room.

Die Fohlen, on the other hand, have been struggling on the travels of late, with the team conceding 13 goals in total in the previous four away games and that is the main reason why we are going to place our bets on Frankfurt. M’gladbach’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Cvancara, Siebatcheu, Jantschke, Ullrich, Itakura, Wolf, and Omlin remain in the recovery room.

Prediction: 3-1 (Frankfurt)

Villarreal will be aiming to recover from a 4-1 loss to Real Madrid when they take on Celta Vigo on Matchday 18. The Yellow Submarine want to keep their Europa League hopes alive and they are surely capable of making life difficult for Os Celeste in front of home fans. Fit-against striker Alexander Sorloth should be recalled to the starting XI, while Alex Baena has joined the likes of Matteo Gabbia, Juan Foyth, Santi Comesana, and Yeremi Pino in the recovery room.

The Galicians, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Celta Vigo and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their twelve-game winless run in Primera Division. Villarreal, though, have been producing fine performances at home under new boss Marcelino and given Sorloth’s return to the starting eleven, home win should be considered. To make things even worse for the away team, Iago Aspas is banned for the match.

Prediction: 2-1(Villarreal)

Union Berlin will look to recover from a 3-0 loss to Bochum when they take on Koln in the Bundesliga round 16. The capital club are eager to escape the danger zone, but Wednesday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Both Robin Gosens and Danilho Doekhi are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

The Billy Goats, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Freiburg. As Koln are eager to return to winning ways as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Julian Chabot is sidelined through suspension, while both Leart Paqarada and Sargis Adamyan miss out with injuries for the away team. Bear in mind, though, that the two sides played out a goalless draw in their last meeting in the German capital.

Prediction: 1-1

Bayer Leverkusen and Bochum face each other at BayArena in a David-vs-Goliath clash. Xabi Alonso’s men rolled over Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 in their last league match to retain top position in the standings, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to regain the title. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Victor Boniface, who has netted seven goals in the German top flight this term, while Exequiel Palacios misses out through suspension.

Bochum, on the other hand, outplayed Union Berlin 3-0 at home, but given their anything but good away record in the 2023/2024 season, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from Wednesday’s clash. Kevin Stoger is banned for the match, while all Mats Pannewig, Jordi Osei-Tutu, Ivan Ordets, and Michael Esser remain on the sidelines with injuries, speaking of the away team.

Prediction: 3-0 (Bayer Leverkusen)

Wednesday’s football game at Voith-Arena pits together Heidenheim and Freiburg, the two teams who defeated Mainz and Koln respectively in their last league matches. Heidenheim are eyeing their third consecutive league win, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. All Omar Traore, Thomas Keller, and Elidon Qenaj are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

Christian Streich’s troops, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the German top flight, with the team sitting in the Conference League berth. The share of spoils, though, is on the cards at Voith-Arena as Heidenheim have been showing signs of improvement. All Philipp Lienhart, Kenneth Schmidt, Maximilian Philipp, Max Rosenfelder, Christian Gunter, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh are out of contention with injuries for the away team, while Michael Gregoritsch should be recalled to the starting line-up.

Prediction: 1-1

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

All eyes will be on Volkswagen Arena when Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich lock horns in a highly-anticipated Bundesliga clash. The Wolves defeated Darmstadt at the weekend despite Maxence Lacroix’s first-half sending-off, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the “Rekordmeister”. The French defender misses out through suspension, while all Mattias Svanberg, Rogerio, Amin Sarr, Patrick Wimmer, and Lukas Nmecha are sidelined with injuries.

The Bavarians, on the other hand, aim to melt Bayer Leverkusen’s advantage in the standings and given their excellent display in a 3-0 win over fourth-place Stuttgart, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team. As always, the opposition back-line should have Harry Kane at bay as the former Tottenham forward scored a brace against die Schwaben, while both Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

Prediction: 1-2 (Bayern Munich)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Stade Francis-Le Ble will host Wednesday’s Ligue 1 game between Brest and Lorient, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Brest have been producing excellent displays of late, with the team winning four of their last five league matches and they must be high on spirits following a 2-0 triumph over Nantes. Both Achraf Fari and Jordan Amavi are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team ahead of the visit of Lorient.

Les Merlus, on the other hand, do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches. As Lorient have been struggling at the back in December, we are tempted to bet on the in-form hosts. The likes of Tiemoue Bakayoko, Ayman Kari, Loris Mouyokolo, Dembo Sylla, and Quentin Boisgard are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side.

Prediction: 2-1 (Brest)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

After failing to win the previous five league matches when they take on Rennes in the Ligue 1 round 17. Les Lanciers are stuck at the bottom with only 11 points on their account, but their performance in a 2-1 defeat to Olympique Marseille was anything but poor. Gabon international Jim Allevinah should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while both Johan Gastien and Florent Ogier are out of contention with injuries.

Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team extending their winless run to three games. As Rennes are eager to return to winning ways as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder Benjamin Bourigeaud misses out with an ankle injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team.

Prediction: 2-2

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Lyon will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Toulouse and Monaco when they take on Nantes on Matchday 17. Les Gones have been showing signs of improvement of late, but they are still sitting in the relegation zone. Despite scoring the winner against Les Rouges et Blancs, Brazil midfielder Jeffinho should once against start from the bench, while both Remy Riou and Johann Lepenant remain in the treatment room.

Les Canaris, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Brest at the weekend, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. As for the visiting team, defender Jean-Kevin Duverne is back from suspension, whereas both Bastien Meupiyou and Ignatius Ganago remain on the sidelines with injuries. Jocelyn Gourvennec is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Mostafa Mohamed up front as a lone forward.

Prediction: 2-1 (Lyon)

Wednesday’s football game at Stade de la Mosson pits together Montpellier and Olympique Marseille, the two teams who defeated Metz and Clermont respectively in their last league matches. La Paillade did well to put an end to their six-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they face a difficult task against OM. Boubakar Kouyate misses out through suspension, while all Wahbi Khazri, Arnaud Nordin, Theo Sainte-Luce, Leo Leroy, and Issiaga Sylla are out of contention with injuries.

Marseille, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win, but beating Montpellier at Stade de la Mosson is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards and we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in the Ligue 1 round 17. Defender Jonathan Clauss is back from suspension, while both Joaquin Correa and Valentin Rongier remain in the recovery room.

Prediction:  1-1

Nice and Lens square off against each other at Allianz Riviera in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Wednesday’s program. Les Aiglons aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Le Havre and it has to be noted that they are after their fifth consecutive win at home ground. Defender Jean-Clair Todibo is banned for the match, while both Khephren Thuram and Sofiane Diop continue to miss out with injuries.

Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Reims, but seeing that Nice are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. Fit-again midfielder Oscar Cortes is pushing for a start after getting his name on the scoresheet at the weekend, whilst all Nampalys Mendy, Jonathan Gradit, Deiver Machado, Jimmy Cabot, and Wuilker Farinez remain on the sidelines through injuries.

Prediction:  1-1

After holding Real Sociedad to a goalless draw at Reale Arena, Real Betis will be aiming to record their sixth home win of the process when they face Girona on Thursday evening. Fit-again midfielder William Carvalho is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Guido Rodriguez, Claudio Bravo, Youssouf Sabaly, and Marca Bartra remain on the sidelines with injuries, while the midweek clash comes too early for Nabil Fekir.

The Catalan outfit, on the other hand, are enjoying a season to remember, with the team being in a two-horse race with star-studded Real Madrid. Girona outplayed Barcelona 4-2 in their last away game, but seeing that Real Betis are tough to beat at home, the share of spoils is on the horizon this time out. The good news for the away team is that experienced striker Cristhian Stuani is back from suspension.

Prediction:  1-1

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Estadio Mendizorrotza will host Thursday’s La Liga game between Alaves and Real Madrid, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. The Basques aim to secure yet another Primera Division survival, while los Blancos are on a quest to regain the trophy. Alaves are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the midweek clash, but preventing Real Madrid attackers from scoring is easier said than done. Abdel Abqar is back from suspension, while both Aleksandar Sedlar and Giuliano Simeone should miss out with injuries.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men, on the other hand, are eager to retain top position in the standings. Real Madrid faced no difficulties in a 4-1 win over Villarreal and seeing that they outclassed Alaves 4-1 in their last meeting in the Basque Country, away triumph should be considered. As for the away side, all David Alaba, Daniel Carvajal, Vinicius Junior, Eder Militao, and Eduardo Camavinga remain in the treatment room.

Prediction: 0-1 (Real Madrid)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Thursday’s football game between Mallorca and Osasuna will bring down the curtain on day 18 of the new La Liga campaign. Los Bermellones are undefeated in the previous four league matches and they will continue relying on their solid defence in the midweek clash. Oscar Mascarell limped off with injury in the last league match, with Giovanni Gonzalez likely to step up. Los Rojillos, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Rayo Vallecano and they managed to get one.

Osasuna, though, have been struggling on the travels of late, with the team suffering three defeats, while sharing the spoils with Cadiz and that is the main reason why we are going to bet on Mallorca. Raul is pushing for a start after scoring a late winner against los Vallecanos, whilst both Johan Mojica and Enrique Barja should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.

Prediction: 1-0 (Mallorca)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

In this duel we are on the side of the home team - Atletico, which shows impressive strength in the current tournament. At the same time, Madrid can count not only on the class of their players and the support of fans, but also on significant tournament motivation. In addition, the statistics are fully on the side of the "Indians", who, in our opinion, will have full control over the game today, and they will give their fans a joyful event for the holidays.

Prediction: Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Atletico

Expert: Vseprosport - website.

Today we expect an energetic and attacking style of soccer, we believe that both teams will try to please not only with active attacks, but also effective realization of chances before the winter vacations. In addition, in the four previous meetings between these teams, both teams scored goals, and we do not exclude that this will happen today.

Prediction: Our prediction - both scores

Expert: Vseprosport - website.

"Hoffenheim" realizes that it is important not to lose points in the upcoming match, and having a minimum advantage of one goal can be risky, as there is a risk of conceding in the last minutes of the game. Based on this, we conclude that the hosts will win the match with a convincing advantage of several goals.

Prediction: Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1.5) on "Hoffenheim"

Expert: Vseprosport - website.

Bayer Leverkusen is the only undefeated team in the Bundesliga with 12 wins and three draws in the opening 15 matches of the season. Leverkusen managed to score 42 goals in the championship.

In ten of Bochum's 15 matches in the Bundesliga this season, both teams have scored, indicating a propensity for productive encounters. This trend is expected to continue in the match against the formidable Bayer Leverkusen. Nevertheless, it is expected that the hosts will have enough to win.

Prediction: "Bayer Leverkusen" and Both Teams To Score

Expert: Freesupertips - website.

Werder Bremen and Leipzig will meet at the Weserstadion in an intriguing Bundesliga encounter. Werder are determined to get out of the danger zone, and their recent 2-2 draw with Borussia Mladbach gives the fans optimism as they prepare to face Leipzig. Marco Friedl is a doubt, while Amos Pieper, Nikolaj Rapp and Leon Opitz are all out due to injuries.

Meanwhile, the Red Bulls are aiming to remain title contenders. Leipzig showed their prowess in a 3-1 win over Hoffenheim, and given their impressive form in the domestic league, we can assume that the visitors will take all three points in this midweek encounter. Sweden striker Emil Forsberg is expected to return to the starting lineup, while Dani Olmo and Willy Orban remain out through injury.

Prediction: win Leipzig (2-1)

After securing a 1-1 draw against Lille in the Ligue 1 derby, PSG is aiming to regain their winning momentum in the upcoming match against Metz on Wednesday evening. The Parisians, currently leading the race for the domestic trophy, have their sights set on a sixth consecutive victory in front of their home fans. Keep an eye on Kylian Mbappe, a standout performer who netted the opening goal against Les Dogues. However, it's worth noting that Fabian Ruiz, Keylor Navas, and Sergio Rico are sidelined due to injuries.

On the flip side, Les Grenats don't appear to be in peak form, having extended their losing streak to three games against Montpellier. Facing a challenging task in the midweek clash, it seems unlikely that they can disrupt PSG's celebration at Parc des Princes. Oscar Estupinan and Aboubacar Lo will be absent due to injuries for the visiting side.

Prediction: victory for PSG (3-0)

Expert: Footballpredictions - website.

Boosted by consecutive victories against Le Havre and Lorient, Strasbourg is poised to provide fans with yet another cause for celebration as they face Lille on Matchday 17. Le Racing has displayed excellent form recently, propelling them into the top ten in the Ligue 1 standings. Thomas Delaine sustained an injury in the last league match, potentially paving the way for Marvin Senaya to step up.

On the flip side, Les Dogues are determined to secure their place in the Champions League. Lille's commendable performance, holding PSG to a 1-1 draw over the weekend, sets the stage for another potential draw given Strasbourg's impressive form in December. Although there are no new injury concerns for the visiting team, defender Tiago Djalo is still recovering from an ACL injury. It's worth noting that Lille remains undefeated in the last eleven encounters with Strasbourg in the French top flight.

Prediction: 1-1 draw

Expert: Footballpredictions - website.

Reims will be looking to bounce back from a 2-0 defeat to Lens when they face Le Havre in the 17th round of Ligue 1. Les Rouges et Blancs have picked up four home wins this season, and are fully expected to take all three points on Wednesday. Although Maxime Bouzi, Marshall Munetsi and Josh Wilson-Esbrand are out due to injuries, the hosts don't have a single suspended player in the squad.

On the other hand, the visitors performed well in their recent league match, beating Nice 3-1 and cementing their place in the top ten. However, given their limited away success this season, where they have only one win, we can assume that betting on the hosts will be very favorable. The absence of suspended striker Samuel Grancire will be the only loss for the visiting team in this match.

Prediction: Reims win (2-0)

Having failed to disrupt Bayern Munich's celebration at the Allianz Arena, Stuttgart aims to initiate a new winning streak in the Bundesliga as they face Augsburg on Wednesday evening. Die Schwaben's primary objective is to secure a spot in the Champions League, but realizing this dream requires continued improvement in their performance. Unfortunately, Lilian Egloff, Hiroki Ito, and Nikolas Nartey will be sidelined due to injuries for the home team.

On the other hand, the Bavarians have experienced fluctuations in form recently, securing victories against Eintracht Frankfurt, suffering a defeat to Werder Bremen, and settling for a draw with Borussia Dortmund. Despite Augsburg's less impressive away record, it seems unlikely that they can secure a positive outcome in the upcoming midweek clash. Reece Oxford has contracted COVID-19, while both Iago and Raphael Framberger are unavailable due to injuries.

Prediction: VfB Stuttgart win (2-1)

Expert: Footballpredictions - website.

Boosted by a 2-0 victory over Atletico Madrid, Athletic Club is poised to provide fans with yet another reason to rejoice as they face Las Palmas on Matchday 18. The Lions aim to secure their fourth consecutive home win and are widely regarded as the frontrunners to triumph over La Union Deportiva at San Mames. Unless faced with any new injury concerns, Ernesto Valverde is unlikely to make alterations to the lineup that secured victory against los Rojiblancos over the weekend.

Conversely, Las Palmas enters the match unbeaten in the last three league fixtures, but Athletic Bilbao presents a more formidable challenge compared to their previous opponents. Defender Sergi Cardona returns from suspension, but both Fabio Gonzalez and Jonathan Viera are sidelined with injuries. In their previous encounter, the two teams played to a goalless draw in the Basque Country, but this time around, a home victory should be strongly considered, given the impressive performances Ernesto Valverde's men have displayed at home recently.

Prediction: Athletic Club win (2-0)

Expert: Footballpredictions - website.

After a 1-1 draw with Las Palmas in a recent league match, Cadiz will look to get back to winning ways when they face Real Sociedad at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla. The Yellow Submarine have drawn their last four league games, and gaining one point in the midweek encounter is likely to be satisfactory for them. Roger Marti, who was injured at the weekend, will be replaced by Maxi Gomez, while Jorge Mere, David Gil and Jose Mari remain unavailable.

Meanwhile, Real Sociedad failed to translate their dominance into a win, settling for a goalless draw with Real Betis. Despite this, Real Sociedad are considered a more cohesive team than Cadiz and the Basques are expected to show their quality on the pitch. The visitors have Brais Mendez, Ander Barrenetxea and David Silva injured.

Prediction: Real Sociedad win (2-0)

Brighton have been the entertainers in the Premier League so far this season, as there has been a total of 63 goals scored in matches involving Roberto De Zerbi’s team in the top flight during 2023-24, more than any other side in the division.

The Seagulls had scored in 32 successive league games prior to Sunday’s 2-0 loss at Arsenal, while they are without a clean-sheet in the top flight since May.

Over 3.5 goals have been scored in 10 of Brighton’s 17 league games this season, including two of their last three on the road, and their clash with Palace has all the makings of a high-scoring festive battle.

Prediction: With that in mind, 2-2 could be one potential outcome as three of the last four meetings between these two rivals have ended all-square, while both teams have scored in 10 of the previous 12 head-to-heads.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Aston Villa extended their unbeaten run to nine matches with a win at Brentford last time out and, with other results going their way last weekend, Unai Emery’s men now find themselves just a point off the top of the table.

While they picked up three points on the road last weekend, much of their enormous success is down to their impeccable home form. They have picked up 25 of their 38 points at Villa Park and are the only side in the Premier League to maintain a perfect home record. Their only failure to win on home soil this term came in the Carabao Cup in September, with each of the remaining 12 competitive games resulting in a victory.

Prediction: The Blades have lost four of their last five games and have scored just two goals in the process, while they have managed a league-low one point from eight away games this season, harbouring the worst away record for points, goals scored and goals conceded in the Premier League.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

After failing to win the previous four league matches, Empoli will look to return to winning ways when they take on Lazio in the Serie A round 17. The Azzurri are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but they will have a big fish to fry against the capital club. All Bartosz Bereszynski, Gabriele Guarino, and Giuseppe Pezzella are sidelined with injuries, while talented midfielder Matteo Cancellieri should be recalled to the starting XI.

The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Inter and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Manuel Lazzari is banned for the match following his sending-off in the defeat to Inter, with Elseid Hysaj likely to step up. In their last meetng at Stadio Carlo Castellani Lazio defeated Empoli 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.

Prediction: 0-2

After saving one point in a 2-2 draw with Udinese at the weekend, Sassuolo will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they face Genoa on Friday afternoon. The Neroverdi do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the previous three league matches, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Rossoblu on home soil. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Domenico Berardi, who scored a brace in the last league match, while all Matias Vina, Mattia Viti, Pedro Mba Obiang, and Agustin Alvarez are out of contention through injuries.

Genoa, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five league fixtures, but seeing that Sassuolo have turned their Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Both Mateo Retegui and Kevin Strootman are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.

Prediction: 2-1 (Sassuolo)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

The upcoming football match at Brianteo Stadium features Monza and Fiorentina, two highly ranked teams. Monza, known for their better performances at home rather than away, couldn't disrupt Milan's celebration at Stadio San Siro. However, the team is determined to bounce back as they face Fiorentina. To strengthen their lineup, forward Patrick Ciurria is expected to return to the starting eleven; unfortunately, Dario Gomez will miss the match due to suspension. Furthermore, Gianluca Caprari is still recovering from an ACL injury.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Verona in their previous league match. This win has brought them closer to securing a place in the highly coveted Champions League. Currently, Fiorentina sits just one point behind the top four teams. Considering Monza's formidable home record, it seems tempting to predict a draw for this game. However, Fiorentina will face their own challenges, as the likes of Nico Gonzalez, Tommaso Martinelli, Dodo, and Gaetano Castrovilli won't be available due to injuries.

Prediction: 1-1

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Salernitana will be aiming to end their negative streak of three straight defeats in the Serie A when they face Milan on Friday evening. The Granata had significant defensive issues in their 4-1 loss against Atalanta, which has left them in the relegation zone. Salernitana is determined to get back on track in the national championship, but they face another challenging task against the Rossoneri. Since their first-choice goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa is still recovering from a shoulder injury, a home victory should not be expected.

On the other hand, Stefano Pioli's men swiftly recovered from their 3-2 loss to Atalanta by convincingly defeating Monza 3-0 at their home ground, Stadio San Siro. Milan is determined to remain in the title race, and it is predicted that they will capitalize on Salernitana's recent poor form. The positive news for the visiting team is that defender Davide Calabria has returned from suspension. However, Tommaso Pobega joins Noah Okafor, Pierre Kalulu, Marco Sportiello, and Marco Pellegrino in the recovery room.

Prediction: 2-3 (Milan)

The upcoming football match at London Stadium brings together West Ham United and Manchester United, two teams that are closely matched in the Premier League standings. West Ham will be looking to build on their impressive 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton as they aim for their fifth home win of the season. Despite Michail Antonio still being out with injury, there are no new injury concerns for the home team.

On the other hand, Manchester United put up a strong defensive performance to secure a goalless draw against Liverpool in the recent Premier League derby. The Red Devils have their sights set on securing a Champions League spot, and they will be pushing for a win in this match. Considering their attacking potential, we anticipate that both teams will find the back of the net. The return of key midfielder Bruno Fernandes from suspension will bolster Manchester United's chances, although Diogo Dalot will be serving a one-game ban. Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount, and Harry Maguire continue to be sidelined with injuries.

Prediction: 2-2

Fulham will look to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Newcastle United when they take on Burnley in the Premier League round 18. The Cottagers have been scoring goals for fun at home ground of late, with the team rolling over both Nottingham Forest (5-0) and West Ham United (5-0) and they must be high on confidence ahead of Saturday’s encounter. Even though important attacker Raul Jimenez is banned for the match, we are going to put our money on the capital club.

The Clarets, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Everton, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. As for the visiting team, all Aaron Ramsey, Luca Koleosho, and Jack Cork are sidelined with injuries. In their last meeting in the English top flight Burnley defeated Fulham 2-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge

Prediction: 2-1 (Fulham)

Kenilworth Road is set to be the venue for this Saturday's match between Luton Town and Newcastle United, two teams with entirely different goals for the remainder of the season. The Hatters are striving to secure their spot in the Premier League, while the Magpies have their eye on a place in the Champions League. Luton has already faced five defeats at home this season, leading to bookmakers considering them the underdogs for the 18th round clash. Midfielder Marvelous Nakamba is absent due to suspension, and there are significant doubts surrounding the availability of Reece Burke and Cauley Woodrow, with both players undergoing assessment before the kickoff. Meanwhile, Newcastle United are aiming to build on their 3-0 victory over Fulham. With Brazilian international Joelinton's recovery in time for the match against Luton Town, we believe that betting on Eddie Howe’s squad holds significant value.

Prediction: 2-0 (Newcastle)

   Nottingham Forest, who have been struggling lately, will try to end their six-game winless streak when they take on Bournemouth in round 18 of the Premier League. The Reds have been sliding down the standings, but Saturday's match could be a turning point for the team. Scott Mckenna and Joe Worrall are both suspended for the match, and there are doubts about the availability of former Tottenham right-back Serge Aurier.
   Meanwhile, Bournemouth has been in good form, having recently beaten Crystal Palace and Manchester United, with their match against Luton being abandoned. Despite Nottingham Forest's strong record at the City Ground, the visiting side is the favorite to win. Injuries continue to plague Bournemouth, with Darren Randolph, Lloyd Kelly, Max Aarons, Emiliano Marcondes, and Ryan Fredericks all sidelined.

Prediction: 1-2 (Bournemouth)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, Tottenham will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Everton in London on Saturday afternoon. Spurs have been producing excellent displays of late and, as a result, the odds for home win are dropping. Brennan Johnson should recover in time to face Everton, while both Yves Bissouma and Destiny Udogie are banned for the match. This match comes too early for Giovani Lo Celso, who remains in the recovery room alongside Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison, Ivan Perisic, Micky van de Ven, and Ryan Sessegnon.

The Toffees, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in the Premier League, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive clean sheet. Given the number of absentees in the home team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Andre Gomes, Vitali Mykolenko, Ashley Young, Seamus Coleman, and Dele Alli are sidelined with injuries, while Abdoulaye Doucoure should recover in time to face Tottenham.

Prediction: 1-1

Sparkles will be flying when Liverpool and Arsenal lock horns in the Premier League derby on Saturday afternoon. The Reds failed to turn their dominance into goals in a draw with Manchester United and they face yet another difficult task against Mikel Arteta’s troops. All Stefan Bajcetic, Andy Robertson, Joel Matip, Alexis Mac Allister, and Diogo Jota are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

The Gunners, on the other hand, produced a fine performance in a 2-0 win over Brighton. Arsenal are determined to retain to position in the standings, but beating Liverpool at Anfield is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, both teams to score betting option should be considered as the two sides played out a 2-2 draw in their last meeting at the venue. Mikel Arteta can’t count on Jorginho, Mohamed Elneny, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Fabio Vieira, Thomas Partey, and Jurrien Timber for Saturday’s encounter.

Prediction: 2-2

The 18th round of the Premier League will conclude with Sunday's football match between Wolverhampton and Chelsea. Wolverhampton has experienced a series of fluctuations in form, securing a victory against Burnley, drawing with Nottingham Forest, and suffering a defeat to West Ham United in their recent matches. In response to the heavy loss in London, Gary O'Neil is expected to make changes to the lineup, with Rayan Ait Nouri and Thomas Doyle vying for a starting position. Unfortunately, Pedro Neto, Joe Hodge, and Jose Sa will be unavailable due to injuries.

On the other hand, Chelsea enters the game with boosted confidence after a 2-0 triumph over Sheffield United in their previous league fixture. Mauro Pochettino can rely on key players for Saturday's showdown. Considering this, we believe there is significant value in placing a bet on the away team. However, it's worth noting that Marc Cucurella, Reece James, Noni Madueke, Benjamin Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Trevoh Chalobah are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.

Prediction: 1-2(Chelsea)

Juventus will attempt to close the gap on Inter Milan in the Serie A standings after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Genoa. Their next challenge comes in the form of Frosinone, whom they will face on Saturday. Juventus is hoping to secure their sixth away win of the season, but they know they must prove their mettle on the pitch. Fortunately, there are no new injury concerns for Max Allegri's team, although Moise Kean and Mattia De Sciglio are still sidelined due to injuries.

Frosinone, on the other hand, is looking to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat against Lecce. They are currently experiencing a three-game winless streak in the Italian top flight. Given Juventus' determination to stay in the title race, we are tempted to place our bet on Federico Chiesa and his teammates. As for the home team, Jesus Carvalho, Riccardo Marchizza, and Sergio Kalaj are unavailable due to injuries.

Prediction :0-2  (Juventus)

Bologna and Atalanta go head to head at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. The Rossoblu have been producing fine performances of late, with the team beating all Torino, Salernitana, and AS Roma, while sharing the spoils with Lecce. Both Jesper Karlsson and Adama Soumaoro are out of contention with injuries, while Riccardo Orsolini should recover in time to face the Orobici.

Atalanta, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Salernitana 4-1 on Monday evening, with the team moving closer to the Champions League berth. Given the Orobici’s attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Defender Rafael Toloi is a major doubt, while all Gianluca Scamacca, Jose Luis Palamino, and El Bilal Toure miss out with injuries, speaking of the visiting side.

Prediction: 2-2

Torino will be seeking to capitalize on their hard-fought 1-0 victory over Empoli as they confront Udinese at their home ground, Stadio Olimpico di Torino, on Saturday afternoon. With hopes for their fourth consecutive home win, Torino should not underestimate Udinese. While Ange Caumenan N'Guessan and Perr Schuurs are sidelined due to injuries, Torino doesn't have any players serving suspensions.

On the other hand, Udinese aims to break free from their five-game winless streak in the Serie A. Considering Udinese has conceded a total of seven goals in their previous two away matches, the odds seem to favor Torino. However, midfielder Martin Payero will not be available due to suspension, and Gerard Deulofeu, Enzo Ebosse, Jaka Bijol, Keinan Davis, and Vivaldo continue to recover from their injuries. It's worth noting that this match comes too soon for Brazil forward, Brenner.

Prediction: 1-0 (Torino)

Inter and Lecce take on each other at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in what is expected to be a David-vs-Goliath clash. The Nerazzurri defeated Lazio in Rome at the weekend to retain top position, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to clinch Scudetto at the end of the season. All Alexis Sanchez, Juan Cuadrado, Denzel Dumfries, and Stefan de Vrij are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

The Giallorossi, on the other hand, defeated Frosinone 2-1 in front of home fans, but given their difficulties on the road, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. As for the visiting team, both Pontus Almqvist and Jeppe Corfitzen are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. In their last meeting at “Meazza” Inter defeated Lecce 2-0.

Prediction: 2-0 (Inter)

When Verona faces Cagliari in round 17 of the Serie A, their main objective will be to climb out of the relegation zone. With only two wins under their belt this season, the Mastini will be eager to put up a fierce fight against the Rossoblu. Polish international Pawel Dawidowicz has successfully recovered from his injury, but midfielder Marco Davide Faraoni will remain sidelined with a muscle injury.

On the other hand, Cagliari failed to spoil Napoli's celebration at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and find themselves stuck in the danger zone. Historically, Cagliari hasn't performed well when playing away from home, which leads us to believe that this could be Verona's opportunity to get back on track in the Italian top flight. However, Cagliari will be missing both Eldor Shomurodov and Marko Rog due to injuries. It's worth noting that in their previous Serie A encounter, Verona emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline against Cagliari.

Prediction: 2-0 (Verona)

 Expert: Footballpredictions-website

All eyes will be on Stadio Olimpico when AS Roma and Napoli square off against each other in the Serie A derby. The Giallorossi failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Bologna, but it has to be noted that both Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala misses the trip to the Northern Italy. Lukaku is back from suspension, but Dybala remains in the recovery room alongside Houssem Aouar, Chris Smalling, and Tammy Abraham.

The Neapolitans, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 2-1 win over Cagliari in their last league match, but beating Roma in “The Eternal City” is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Andre Zambo Anguissa, Elif Elmas, and Mathias Olivera are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five meetings between the two sides

Prediction: 1-1

Cadiz scored only 14 goals after 17 matches and this is the worst result in the Spanish La Liga along with Mallorca and Alaves. It will be extremely difficult to score at home against Real Sociedad, because the opponent plays quite competently in defense and concedes very few goals. At the same time, the guests now need to switch to the domestic championship and start catching up. “Real Sociedad” is a more experienced team and even on the road it is obliged to beat a contender in the fight for survival

Prediction: Let's take the victory of Real Sociedad

As part of the 18th round of the Spanish La Liga, Athletic will host Las Palmas at the San Mames stadium. The confrontation will take place on December 20 

In the last round, Athletic won an important victory at home over Athletic and confirmed its intentions to compete for a place in the top 4 this season. The team plays well at home and is the fourth team in the league in terms of points scored at home. “Las Palmas” was close to winning against “Cadiz”, but missed a goal in the 83rd minute and, as a result, only a 1:1 draw. The guests play quite competently in defense and conceded only nine goals in nine away matches. There is no point in playing open football against Athletic, but the guests have some chances on defense and on counterattacks. We expect a difficult match for the home team, and even if we manage to win, it will be quite difficult.

Prediction: Let's take the victory of “Las Palmas”

As part of the 17th round of the French Ligue 1, Strasbourg will host Lille at the Stade de la Menot. The confrontation will take place on December 20

Looking at the performances of the teams, it becomes clear that Lille has a better chance of winning, but at the same time, the bookmakers underestimate the home team too much. Strasbourg played eight matches at home and lost only twice. Lille has eight away matches and only two wins, and the team has drawn five times. Two rounds ago, Lille on the road failed to beat Clermont, which is in last place, and Strasbourg is still a stronger team that plays very well in front of its fans. 

Prediction: Based on this, we suggest believing in the home team and placing a bet on Strasbourg not losing 

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

As part of the 17th round of the French Ligue 1, PSG will host Metz at the Parc des Princes stadium. The confrontation will take place on December 20 

Now PSG's schedule will become much simpler, since the Champions League can be forgotten for a couple of months. Luis Enrique’s goal is probably to have an impressive lead in Ligue 1 by the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, so that he can easily rotate the squad and focus specifically on the most prestigious club tournament in Europe. So far, the opponents are quite weak “Metz”, which is convenient for PSG judging by the latest head-to-head meetings. We fully admit that the guests may be left without scoring a goal,

Prediction: While PSG must score at least two goals, so a good outcome would be PSG winning 

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

Reims began a more difficult calendar and immediately began to suffer defeats. In the last round, the home team lost to Lens, and earlier there were defeats to Nice, Rennes and PSG. Of course, the Reims players should not dwell on failures, especially since the players understand that they lost to stronger teams, but in the upcoming match they need to go out and play to win. “Le Havre” is a pretty strong team, but away matches are still difficult for them and it will be difficult to grab even one point. Still, we are more inclined to favor Reims, which must try hard at home in front of its fans. 

Prediction: We take the victory of “Reims”

Crystal Palace will be looking to put an end to their six-game winless run when they take on Brighton in the Premier League round 18 opener. The Eagles displayed resilience against Manchester City, scoring two late goals to secure a draw against the title holders, instilling confidence ahead of the clash with Brighton. Unfortunately, Johnstone, Rak-Sakyi, Holding, Edouard, and Doucoure are sidelined due to injuries, although Joel Ward is expected to recover in time for the Seagulls encounter.

On the flip side, Brighton suffered a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal, but they possess the capability to compete with Palace at Selhurst Park. With both teams keen to return to the win column in the English top flight, betting on both teams to score appears to carry significant value. Tariq Lamptey, Ansu Fati, Adam Webster, Pervis Estupinan, Solly March, and Julio Enciso are likely to be absent due to injuries for the visiting side.

Prediction: 2-2

Aston Villa is set to host Sheffield United at Villa Park in what promises to be a David-vs-Goliath encounter. The Villans, securing a comeback victory of 2-1 against Brentford over the weekend, maintain their third-place standing in the Premier League. With aspirations to surpass Arsenal for the top spot, Villa appears poised to uphold their flawless home record. However, they continue to contend with injuries sidelining All Kamara, Buendia, Traore, Mings, and Olsen, while Youri Tielemans is expected to recover in time to face the Blades.

Conversely, Sheffield United finds themselves entrenched at the bottom with a mere eight points to their name. Having suffered seven defeats away from home this season, Chris Wilder's squad faces a formidable challenge. Our bet leans towards Unai Emery's team, a formidable force on their home turf. Injuries rule out players like Chris Basham, Thomas Davies, Daniel Jebbison, and Rhys Norrington-Davies, while Rhian Brewster is deemed not yet ready for Thursday's clash.

Prediction: Aston Villa win (3-0)

Expert: Footballpredictions - website.

We believe that in this match the hosts will try to resist the pressure of the favorite, but the outcome of the whole meeting can be decided by a quick goal. After the first goal, both teams will be able to turn in their usual attacking style, and in this position the defense of the "glorious" will not be easy. Losses in the Whites' defensive line will also open up opportunities for successful Basque attacks, which could eventually lead to a lot of attacks and effective execution.

Prediction: Our prediction - total more than 3.5 goals

Expert: Vseprosport - website.

Believe that both teams today are ready to please their fans with a pleasant gift, and we, at the same time, adhere to the side of the islanders. "Mallorca" demonstrates a good game at their home stadium, and it is worth taking into account the support of the stands. The guests in turn are not in the best shape, especially in away matches. In addition, the the hosts have not suffered defeats at home since September.

Prediction: Our prediction - a win for Mallorca

Expert: Vseprosport - website.

"Betis" won eight of the last ten face-to-face meetings, and today the team is in quite high motivation before the game against the unexpected leader. Besides, Betis' home form is not inferior to the Catalans, which will surely allow them not only to control the game, but also to achieve an important victory.

Prediction: Our prediction - Betis win

Some feared for Sean Dyche's Everton after the team were stripped of ten points for breaching Premier League financial regulations. Surprisingly, this setback spurred the Toffees on, leading to four straight wins in the league and greatly improving their promotion prospects. Dyche's skillful organizational skills are a significant asset to the team, and they can head to north London with the belief that they can deliver positive results.
Tottenham Hotspur have bounced back from recent problems with wins over Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. This successful turnaround came after Tottenham Hotspur went into the break with just one point in five games.
Yves Bissouma received a red card in the match against Nottingham Forest, which was his second suspension of the season and left a noticeable void in the midfield. In addition, Destinee Udogi has racked up enough suspensions to miss the upcoming match.
If Everton can establish control in midfield, their chances of success on this trip will increase significantly. The fact that Everton have not conceded in their last four league matches adds to their confidence, making them strong contenders to earn at least a point.

Prediction: Everton Double Chance (Win or Draw)

Expert: Freesupertips - website.

Six of Nottingham Forest's last eight home games have seen fewer than 2.5 goals scored. The appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo is unlikely to change that trend, as he will focus on strengthening the defense rather than improving an attack that has scored just 17 goals this season. This suggests the likelihood of another low-scoring game at the City Ground.

Nottingham Forest have failed to score in three of their last four matches, including the previous two at the City Ground. They are unlikely to score many goals against Bournemouth, who haven't lost in their last five matches and recently picked up clean victories over top-ranked Newcastle and Manchester United.

Prediction: Under 2.5 Match Goals

Expert: Freesupertips - website.

Girona and Real Madrid are currently leading the race for the La Liga title, leaving Barcelona and Atletico Madrid with the task of keeping up during the hectic Christmas period. Atletico, in particular, will be eager to recover from a recent slump, having only managed to win one out of their last four matches.

Sevilla, on the other hand, secured a crucial victory against struggling Granada in their most recent outing. However, their season has been far from smooth sailing, as they find themselves just three points above the relegation zone. Their away form has been particularly poor, with only six points obtained from a possible 24 on the road this season, winning only three of their 17 league games.

Despite their struggles, Sevilla have managed to score the most goals among the teams in the bottom half of the table. This suggests that they should still be capable of finding the back of the net in their upcoming match, even if they ultimately suffer defeat.

Prediction: 16 of Atleti’s last 20 home games in the league have gone over 2.5 goals and correct score backers should side with them to bounce back from their recent struggles with a 2-1 win.

19th round of the Premier League and teams from the Championship that are familiar to each other meet.
Over the past 15 rounds, Luton has obviously shown themselves better.

They manage to score against the middle guys and some tops. Compared to Sheffield, K2 does not miss much and comes with statistics of 13/26.
As for the hosts' defense, this is the worst indicator in the entire table, darkness.
Let's move on to the last 5 personal meetings. 5/5 did not exceed 2 goals. 4 matches of which were played with 2x.

Prediction: As a result, I can say that the teams will be approximately equal in terms of play, but I give my vote to Luton, these guys look more convincing and show better results.

Newcastle will enter a busy period of the season with a significant number of players on the injury list. However, their upcoming Boxing Day fixture seems to be a relief for the team. The Magpies have been struggling lately due to the absence of several key players, managing to win only once in their last six matches. On Tuesday, they will go up against Nottingham Forest, a team in an even worse condition as they have lost six out of their last seven matches.

Playing at St James' Park will provide an additional advantage for Newcastle. They have been formidable at home, winning eight out of their nine league games this season. This home advantage should also benefit winger Anthony Gordon, who has been in good scoring form at home, finding the net in four out of his last five Premier League games. Interestingly, all but one of his league goals this season have been scored at Tyneside, so he poses a threat to Nottingham Forest's vulnerable defense.

Newcastle's struggle to keep clean sheets has been a concern, as they have conceded goals in all but two of their last eleven matches. They will now face a Forest side that suffered a 3-2 defeat at home against Bournemouth in their recent match under manager Nuno.

Prediction: a high-scoring victory for the Magpies is the best way to go in this one.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Bournemouth continued their impressive form with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, marking their fifth win in their last six matches and their third consecutive triumph. After a slow start to the season, the Cherries have shifted into high gear, finding the back of the net a remarkable 15 times in their last six outings.

An instrumental figure in Bournemouth's attacking prowess has been Dominic Solanke, who has contributed significantly with seven goals during this period. Solanke's outstanding performance over the weekend included a spectacular hat-trick against Forest, taking his overall tally for the campaign to an impressive 11 goals. With such a rich vein of form, it's highly likely that Solanke will continue his scoring streak as Bournemouth aims to extend their three-game winning run.

On the other hand, Fulham suffered a defeat against Burnley in their recent fixture, marking their fifth loss in the last eight league games. The Cottagers have particularly struggled on their travels, losing their last three away games and only managing one win in their away outings this season.

Prediction: The hosts have claimed more points than anyone in the Premier League across the last eight rounds, so they’re great value for the points.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Burnley claimed an important three points at Fulham on Saturday but they will struggle to back that up with any kind of result against Liverpool.

The Reds fought back to earn a point against Arsenal in their game on Saturday and were perhaps unlucky not to complete the comeback and claim a win, as they arguably enjoyed the better of the chances in the second half.

Prediction: A point wasn’t a bad result for Liverpool all things considered and they can take top spot with a win at Turf Moor at least temporarily, as the Gunners are next in action on Thursday

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Saturday did not simply bring another loss for United; it marked their fourth consecutive game without scoring a goal. This is an alarming trend for a team that has made significant investments in their squad, yet little evidence of their big spending is seen when assessing their current forward line.

United appeared lackluster in their match against the Hammers, raising concerns about their ability to create scoring opportunities. In fact, they have only outperformed their opponents' expected goals (xG) in one out of their last six league games, and that was against a struggling Chelsea side. In terms of total xG this season, the Red Devils rank 10th in the league, while only Burnley, Luton, and Sheffield United have a higher expected goals against tally.Overall, these statistics highlight the struggles United are facing in front of goal and their vulnerability in defense. With their expensive signings not yet making a significant impact, it is clear that improvement is needed in both attacking creativity and defensive solidity.

Prediction: That points to United being poor overall, which is clear in their results. They’ve lost eight of 18 league games, while they’ve suffered six defeats across their last 10 at Old Trafford.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Gary O’Neil’s side have claimed some notable home scalps this term, but they have lost their last four road trips so it is difficult to be confident about their chances either.

It could be that both teams recognise that being positive is the best tactic to drag themselves out of their respective slumps, so it is worth backing more than three goals in their meeting in west London.

Brentford have kept just one clean sheet on their own patch all season and just one of Wolves’ last seven away games have not produced at least three goals, and that was a 1-1 draw at Luton when they had to play more than a half with ten men.

Prediction: Recent results suggest it is difficult to put much faith in either team, so it could be worth taking a chance that this meeting ends in a 2-2 draw.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Chelsea and Crystal Palace are both struggling this festive season and their upcoming match at Stamford Bridge is difficult to predict. Both teams have been hovering around the mid-table positions throughout the season and it's hard to make a strong argument for either side.

Chelsea's recent performance has been affected by fixture congestion, with losses against Manchester United and Everton in December. There is still work to be done by manager Mauricio Pochettino. At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have won three, drawn three, and lost three of their nine Premier League matches. Crystal Palace has a similar record on the road.

Crystal Palace's recent results have been relatively decent, with draws against West Ham, Manchester City, and Brighton in December. Chelsea has also had their fair share of draws in the Premier League this season, with four so far. In addition, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle in the EFL Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday.

Prediction: Both meetings between these sides last term were closely fought with Chelsea prevailing by a single goal on both occasions and this time around, the draw could be the best bet

Manchester City have been more leaky defensively this season than in previous campaigns, conceding 20 times in 17 matches time around.

They have been strong going forward, netting 40, but their struggles at the back could be a major impediment to their title hopes.

Both teams have scored in six of the Citizens’ last seven league games and the same looks likely in this clash. Everton have netted in eight of their last nine Premier League clashes and in front of their home support, they are fancied to find the net again.

Prediction: City’s attacking abilities may just be enough to see them win a game in which both teams score.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Recent Premier League meetings between Brighton and Tottenham may have underwhelmed with three 1-0 games in the past five rivalries, but it is hard to see anything but a glut of goals at the Amex on Thursday.

The Seagulls have won only two of their last 12 league matches, so are in need of a change of luck, while Spurs have rediscovered their peak form with three straight wins over Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Everton.

However, Brighton are a tough nut to crack on home soil and they have lost only four of their last 20 league games on their own patch, going down only to West Ham from nine outings this season.Roberto De Zerbi’s side have seen both teams score in all nine home league matches this term, which includes a 2-2 draw with Liverpool.

Prediction: So Tottenham can exploit those weaknesses, although they are also unlikely to keep the slick hosts at bay.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

And West Ham, who have scored in eight of their nine road trips this season, certainly look capable of getting a goal in Thursday’s game. Jarrod Bowen has struck in the Hammers’ last three games and regularly causes Arsenal problems while Mohammed Kudus is also in good goalscoring form after bagging four goals in his last five top-flight appearances.

But the Gunners have plenty of firepower themselves and don’t look in the mood to relinquish first place right now. Former Hammer Declan Rice has been a steady hand at the tiller in midfield and has also popped up with some crucial late strikes too.Apart from their 1-0 home win over Manchester City in October, Arsenal have scored at least two goals in all of their Premier League home games and should do so again to claim all three points.

Prediction: West Ham have notched on four of their last six visits to the red side of North London, but never more than once per trip. Meanwhile, Arsenal average three goals per game across that span and look equipped to secure another 3-1 home victory, having already seen off Man Utd and Burnley by that score earlier in the season.

Fireworks are expected in the London derby at Stamford Bridge in the match between Chelsea and Crystal Palace. The Blues are determined to move closer to a Europa League spot and we are sure they will play their best against the Eagles. Unfortunately, key players like Fernandez, Cucurella, James, Chilwell, Chukwuemeka and Chalobah are sidelined due to injuries. However, the return of Christopher Nkunku is expected to pose a significant threat to the opponent's defense.

On the other hand, Palace are unbeaten in their previous seven league matches, so given the importance of this meeting for Mauro Pochettino's side on Wednesday, a home win should be expected. At the same time, Nathan Ferguson, Cheick Doucoure, Rob Holding, Odsonne Edouard and Joel Ward may be absent from the Palace squad due to injuries. In addition, goalkeeper Sam Johnston is also in doubt. In the previous match on the same pitch, Chelsea beat Crystal Palace thanks to a goal from Kaya Havertz.

Prediction: Chelsea win 1-0

Brentford and Wolverhampton will meet at the Brentford Community Stadium in an intriguing Premier League match. The Bees are determined to break their three-match losing streak and we expect them to give their best against Wolves. Defender Ben Mee is unavailable due to suspension, while Brian Mbeumo, Kristoffer Iyer, Mathias Jensen, Aaron Hickey and Kevin Shade are sidelined due to injuries.

On the other hand, Wolverhampton faced defensive problems in their 3-0 defeat to West Ham. Given their away problems, we think a win for the home side would be logical. Jonny is suspended and Joe Hodge is out due to shoulder problems, but Pedro Neto is likely to be fit for the Boxing Day encounter. Wolverhampton defeated Brentford 2-0 in their previous Premier League game, fueling the hosts' desire for revenge.

Prediction: Brentford win 1-0

After a resounding 4-0 victory over Fluminense in the Club World Cup final, Manchester City are set to extend their jubilation when they face Everton in the 19th round of the Premier League. Despite their 5th place in the standings, it's worth noting that City have a game in hand. The upcoming game on Wednesday is too early for the return of Kevin De Bruyne, although he is close to recovery. However, Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku are both in doubt. On the positive side, key midfielder Rodri is expected to be ready to play.

On the other hand, the Toffees are looking to bounce back after their 2-1 defeat to Tottenham. However, given Manchester City's impressive performance against Fluminense, it is not logical to talk about a home win. Idrissa Gueye, as well as Seamus Coleman, is under a big question mark because of the injury suffered in the last match of the championship. In addition, midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure continues to receive treatment.

Prediction: Manchester City win 3-1

Thursday's London derby featuring Arsenal and West Ham will mark the conclusion of the 19th round in the current Premier League season. Arsenal secured a 1-1 draw against Liverpool over the weekend, maintaining their top position in the standings despite dropping two points in the Anfield match. The Gunners may see the return of Leonardo Trossard to the starting lineup, but Takehiro Tomiyasu, Fabio Vieira, Thomas Partey, and Jurrien Timber remain sidelined due to injuries.

On the flip side, the visitors performed admirably by defeating Manchester United at home last Saturday. However, facing the league leaders presents a formidable challenge for David Moyes' team. West Ham has experienced four defeats away from home this season, and it seems unlikely that they can disrupt Arsenal's momentum at the Emirates Stadium. The only anticipated absence for the visiting team is Jamaican striker Michail Antonio.

Prediction: Arsenal win 2-0

All attention will be focused on the Amex Stadium as Brighton and Tottenham go head-to-head in the 19th round of the Premier League. The Seagulls are determined to break their three-match winless streak, but they face a formidable challenge against the capital club. Danny Welbeck, who scored a stunning equalizer  with Crystal Palace, is expected to return to the starting XI. However, Ansu Fati, Joel Veltman, Pervis Estupinan, Adam Webster, Julio Enciso, and Solly March are likely to be sidelined due to injuries.

In contrast, Tottenham has secured a place in the Champions League with three consecutive league victories. The Spurs have been in much better form recently compared to Brighton, making an away triumph a plausible outcome. Crucial defender Cristian Romero is expected to be fit for the midweek clash, while midfielder Yves Bissouma is still serving a suspension. Perisic, Sessegnon, Maddison, Micky van de Ven, and Bentancur continue to be unavailable due to injuries.

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur win 2-1

Napoli will be looking to rectify their recent 2-0 defeat to AS Roma as they face Monza in Serie A's 18th round. The Neapolitans have not been in top form, having lost three of their last four league matches. New manager Walter Mazzarri is undoubtedly feeling the pressure leading up to the Monza clash. Victor Osimhen and Matteo Politano will be unavailable due to suspensions, and Stanislav Lobotka, Natan Souza, Elif Elmas, and Mathias Olivera are still in the recovery phase. Given the numerous absentees in Walter Mazzarri's squad, a home victory should not be expected.

On the other hand, Biancorossi has experienced a downturn, losing to both AC Milan and Fiorentina in their last two league matches. Nevertheless, a draw seems likely at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona as Napoli faces the fixture with a significantly weakened team. For the away side, both Dario Gomez and Pablo Mari Villar will be unavailable due to suspension.

Prediction: 1-1 draw

Boosted by a 2-0 victory over Empoli, Lazio aims to provide fans with yet another cause for celebration as they face Frosinone in Serie A round 18. The Biancocelesti swiftly recovered from a 2-0 defeat to Inter, regaining much-needed confidence. A triumph over Frosinone would keep their Champions League aspirations alive. However, there are uncertainties surrounding the availability of key players Luis Alberto and Ciro Immobile, both of whom sustained injuries in the last league match.

On the flip side, Frosinone appears to be struggling, having lost three of their last four league games. The team has encountered defensive challenges recently, making it doubtful that they can disrupt Lazio's festivities at Stadio Olimpico.

Prediction: Lazio win 2-0

Friday's Serie A match between Genoa and Inter will be played at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Both teams are coming off wins over Sassuolo and Lecce respectively over the weekend. Although Genoa are known for their formidable play at home, they face a tough task against the league leaders. The hosts have no new injuries, but Junior Messias and Mateo Retegui are still out of action.

In contrast, Inter have a four-match winning streak in Serie A. With a more cohesive team dynamic than Genoa and the potential return of key striker Lautaro Martinez, Inter have a better chance of an away win. However, Inter will be without Juan Cuadrado and Denzel Dumfries, who are sidelined due to injuries. In the previous game at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, the teams played to a goalless draw, but this time it is worth paying attention to Inter's away win.

Prediction: Inter win 2-0

Fiorentina aims to build on their recent successes against Verona and Monza as they face Torino in Serie A's 18th round. The Viola have shown improved form, particularly in defense, and are likely to rely on their solid defensive strategy in Friday's match. However, key players such as Bonaventura, Gonzalez, Martinelli, Dodo, and Gaetano Castrovilli are expected to be sidelined due to injuries.

On the other hand, Torino enters the game unbeaten in the last four league matches. Despite this, Ivan Juric's team is not known for performing well on the road, and it's doubtful they can disrupt Fiorentina's momentum at Stadio Artemio Franchi. In their previous encounter in Florence, Torino secured a 1-0 victory over Fiorentina, adding an extra layer of motivation for the hosts seeking revenge.

Prediction: Fiorentina win 1-0

Juventus and Roma will meet at the Allianz Stadium in a Serie A derby. The Bianconeri are looking to cut the gap to Inter to one point, and they can be confident after a 2: 1 win over Frosinone. Alex Sandro has joined Moise Keane and Mattia De Sciglio in the recovery room, while Manuel Locatelli is questionable. Nicolo Faggioli and Paul Pogba remain out of action due to suspension.

On the other hand, Roma scored an victory over Napoli in the Derby del Sole. Jose Mourinho's team is aiming to secure a Champions League spot, but their away failures suggest that a win for the home side could be considered a logical outcome. Lorenzo Pellegrini is expected to return to the starting lineup, while Paulo Dybala, Chris Smalling and Tammy Abraham remain absent through injury.

Prediction: Juventus win 2-1

Having secured only a 2-2 draw against Salernitana, Milan is eager to resume their winning streak in Serie A as they face Sassuolo on Matchday 18. The Rossoneri aim for their fourth consecutive home victory, confident in their ability to triumph over Neroverdi at Stadio San Siro. Unfortunately, Fikayo Tomori, Tommaso Pobega, Noah Okafor, Malick Thiaw, Pierre Kalulu, and Marco Sportiello are sidelined due to injuries, although no players from the home team are suspended.

Sassuolo, on the contrary, has experienced a recent downturn in form, securing only one point in their last four league matches. Having conceded two goals in each of these fixtures, it seems unlikely that they can disrupt Milan's celebration at Stadio San Siro. In their previous encounter at the venue, Sassuolo dominated AC Milan with a 5-2 victory, fueling the hosts' desire for revenge. Unfortunately for the visiting side, players such as Uros Racic, Matias Vina, Mattia Viti, and Agustin Alvarez are unavailable due to injuries.

Prediction: Milan win 3-2

With a 2-0 win over Cagliari, Verona are looking to move out of the relegation zone in their upcoming matchday 18 clash against Salernitana. Bosnian veteran Milan Djuric is in contention for a place in the starting lineup, but midfielder Ondrej Duda will be absent due to suspension. Marco Davide Faraoni is in a race against time to recover and be fit for Saturday's match.

For their part, Salernitana are bottom of the standings with just nine points. Given the team's three defeats in the last four league matches, we can assume that the hosts will be able to get a win in this match. In favor of this choice is also the fact that in the last meeting in the "city of love" Verona beat Salernitana with a score of 1:0. Notably, Vincenzo Jorillo is suspended and goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa is unavailable due to a shoulder injury.

Prediction: Hellas Verona win 2-0

Cagliari will hope to rectify their recent failures against Napoli and Verona by playing Empoli in the 18th round of Serie A. "The Rossoblu are desperate to get out of the relegation zone, but this match will not be an easy walk for Claudio Ranieri's team. Midfielder Antoine Makumba is facing a one-match suspension, while Eldor Shomurodov and Marco Rog will be absent due to injuries.

On the other hand, the Adzurri go into the game with a five-match winless streak in Serie A. Given that Empoli are also determined to take all three points in this match, we can assume that both teams will score. Francesco Caputo, Bartosz Berezinski, Gabriele Guarino and Giuseppe Pezzella will not play in this festive match. The previous match between these teams in the Italian top flight ended in a 1-1 draw.

Prediction: 1-1 draw

Saturday's matinee at Gewiss Stadium will feature a clash between Atalanta and Lecce, both coming off defeats by Bologna and Inter, respectively, in Matchday 17. The Orobici are determined to stay in the Champions League race and are likely to launch a spirited offensive against the Giallorossi. Unfortunately, All Toure, Palomino, and Toloi are set to miss the match due to injuries for the home side.

Conversely, Lecce is likely to adopt a defensive stance in this fixture, though thwarting Atalanta's attackers in Bergamo is a formidable task. Adding to their challenges, key forward Lameck Banda is unavailable due to suspension, and defender Marin Pongracic is also banned for the match. In their last encounter at this venue, Lecce secured a 2-1 victory over Atalanta, intensifying the hosts' desire for revenge. It's worth noting that over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of the previous four meetings between these two teams.

Prediction: Atalanta win 3-2

Udinese look to break their six-match winless streak when they face Bologna in round 18. The Zebrette have had defensive problems of late, and face a tough task in their game against Bologna, who occupy a Champions League spot. Unfortunately, Vivaldo, Keinan Davis, Jaka Biyol, Enzo Ebosse and Gerard Deulofeu are all expected to be sidelined due to injuries.

In contrast, the Rossoblu are riding a three-match winning streak in Serie A. Given Udinese's recent problems, there is a temptation to favor the visiting team. Bologna defeated Udinese 3-0 in their previous Serie A match. Although Bologna have Jesper Karlsson and Adama Soumaoro injured, there are no injured players in the visiting team.

Prediction: Bologna win 2-1

Expert: Footballpredictions - website.

The Nigerian could have played in this fixture, but both he and Matteo Politano were sent off at the Olimpico and will serve bans, reducing Napoli’s attacking options here. They are also dealing with a raft of injuries.

Monza are a middling team away from home, but will sense an opportunity to claim a famous result against the reigning champions. They beat Napoli 2-0 at their U-Power Stadium home last May to avenge a 4-0 away defeat in Naples when the home side were in their title-winning pomp.

The value appears to be in backing the away side to avoid defeat in this clash as Napoli are in no shape to make this look like an easy task.

Prediction: A 1-1 draw could be the outcome given two of Monza’s last six away assignments have finished that way.

Recently Inter was knocked out of the Italian Cup, losing to Bologna with a score of 1:2. However, this result is not so surprising - the Milanese rival has gained momentum and is already quite high even in Serie A. Well, for Inzaghi’s team this was the first defeat in a long time. Before this, Inter went on a series without failures, often won, thanks to which they are now the leader in the Italian championship. The team's lead over Juventus is four points. In the last round, the Milanese beat Lecce without any problems - 2:0

Genoa is in a completely different situation in Serie A compared to Inter. In the last round the club beat Sassuolo (2:1). But for the “griffins” this victory was the first in a long time. Before this, the team was on a winning streak of five meetings - three defeats and two draws. Although, for example, Alberto Gilardino’s team managed to get one point in the match with Juventus - 1:1. Genoa itself is now in 13th place in Serie A and is already five points or more behind its mid-table rivals.

Prediction: I think the home team has no chance today. Inter must defeat such an opponent. Moreover, Juventus recently lost points and fell slightly behind the Milanese in the table.

Expert: Alexander Mostovoy - forward of Spartak, Spanish Celta and the Russian national team, and now a site expert.

Castellanos scored 13 La Liga goals last term and his career still appears to be on an upward trajectory. The underlying numbers also tell a tale of a forward who is getting into positions to score goals.

Friday’s clash is likely to feature a few as Frosinone have not been known to shut up shop on their travels. The Canaries have lost their last six road assignments, but have scored in four of them.

Prediction: Backing Lazio to emerge victorious while witnessing both teams score presents an enticing opportunity here. Additionally, betting on Lazio to secure a win with less than four goals in the match seems like a viable option.

This was supposed to restore confidence to the “townspeople”. A couple of days ago they already dealt with Everton - 3:1. The club, of course, did not drop very low in the Premier League table. With 37 points, he is in fourth place and only two points behind Aston Villa, who have one game more.

Sheffield are now in last place in the championship. With each round, things are getting worse for the club - their opponents are already seven and eight points ahead of their saving places. Recently, the Blades managed to take points from Brentford (1:0) and Aston Villa (1:1). But these were rather exceptions. In the vast majority of games, Sheffield still suffers setbacks.

Prediction: I'm expecting a lot of goals here. Man City are unlikely to be cautious - they need to win and score a lot. Sheffield will not be able to stop the attacks of such a strong opponent.

Luton will look to capitalize on their recent victories against Newcastle United and Sheffield United as they face Chelsea in their final game of the year. The Hatters have a golden opportunity to climb out of the relegation zone and are expected to give their all against the Blues. However, they will be without Dan Potts due to injury, while Reece Burke's participation remains uncertain and will be evaluated before kick-off.

On the other hand, Chelsea showcased a commendable performance in the local derby against Crystal Palace, securing a victory with a late penalty goal from Noni Madueke. The visitors have a positive development with Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling returning from suspension. Despite Luton's recent impressive performances in the Premier League, we are tempted to favor Chelsea as they welcome back two key players to their starting lineup.

Prediction: 1-2 (Chelsea)

Aston Villa will look to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Manchester United when they take on Burnley on Saturday afternoon. The Villans have been producing excellent displays at their Villa Park this season and they are seen as hot favourites to win the last game of the year. All Youri Tielemans, Bertrand Traore, Emiliano Buendia are sidelined with injuries, while Boubacar Kamara misses out through suspension.

The Clarets, on the other hand, suffered a 2-0 loss to Liverpool on Boxing Day. The visitors are eager to escape the relegation zone, but given Aston Villa’s almost perfect home record, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Champions League-chasing hosts. Hjalmar Ekdal faces race against the clock to bet fit for Saturday’s clash, while both Luca Koleosho and Jack Cork are sidelined with injuries. In their last meeting in the Premier League Aston Villa defeated Burnley 3-1.

Prediction: 3-1 (Aston Villa)

There will be fireworks when Crystal Palace and Brentford square off against each other at Selhurst Park in the London derby. The Eagles are eager to put an end to their eight-game winless run in the Premier League, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. The likes of Joel Ward, Rob Holding, Cheick Doucoure, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, and Nathan Ferguson miss out with injuries, while both Sam Johnstone and Odsonne Edouard are major doubts.

The Bees, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the English top flight. Brentford obviously struggle at the back and that is the main reason why away win should not be considered. In each of their last five meetings in the English top flight the two sides played out a draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Ben Mee is banned for the match, while all Bryan Mbeumo, Kristoffer Ajer, Aaron Hickey, Kevin Schade, and Joshua Da Silva miss out with injuries.

Prediction: 1-1

Molineux Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Wolverhampton and Everton. The Wolves aim to build on back-to-back wins over Chelsea and Brentford and they must be high on confidence ahead of the last game of the year. A man to watch in the home team will be Hee-Chan Hwang, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line, while midfielder Joe Hodge misses out due to the lack of fitness.

The Toffees, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Tottenham and Man City. As Everton are not regarded as good travellers, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. All Ashley Young, Idrissa Gueye, and Dele Alli are sidelined with injuries, while Abdoulaye Doucoure is a major doubt. In their last meeting in the English top flight Wolverhampton defeated Everton thanks to Sasa Kalajdzic’s late goal.

Prediction: 2-1 (Wolves)

There will be fireworks when Nottingham Forest and Manchester United go head to head at the City Ground on Matchday 20. The Reds aim to build on a 3-1 win over Newcastle United and they are surely capable of matching Erik ten Hag’s troops in front of home fans. Both Scott Mckenna and Joe Worrall miss out through suspension, while Taiwo Awoniyi remains in the recovery room.

The Red Devils, on the other hand, made a comeback in a 3-2 win over Aston Villa, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Man Utd aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, but beating Forest on the road is easier said than done. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both sides will go for a win in the last game of the year. Sofyan Amrabat should be fit for the match, while all Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Mason Mount, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, and Tyrell Malacia remain on the sidelines.

Prediction: 2-2

All eyes will be on Craven Cottage when Fulham and Arsenal take on each other in a highly-anticipated local derby. The Cottagers aim to put an end to their three-game losing run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Mikel Arteta’s troops. Wales midfielder Harry Wilson is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while key attacker Raul Jimenez is back from suspension.

The Gunners, meanwhile, suffered a shocking 2-0 loss to West Ham United in their last league match. Arsenal are eager to regain top position in the standings and we predict that they will take advantage of Fulham’s poor form. Kai Havertz is back from suspension, while all Takehiro Tomiyasu, Fabio Vieira, Thomas Partey, and Jurrien Timber remain on the sidelines with injuries. You should know that in their last meeting in the English top flight Arsenal recorded a 3-0 win over Fulham.

Prediction: 1-2 (Arsenal)

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Spurs and Bournemouth. The capital club aim to make amends for a 4-2 loss to Brighton, but seeing that they are hit by injuries and suspensions, home win should not be considered. Both Dejan Kulusevski and Yves Bissouma are banned for the match, while all Romero, Perisic, van de Ven, Maddison, and Bentancur remain in the recovery room.

The Cherries, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in the English top flight. Bournemouth have been scoring goals for fun and given the number of absentees in the home team, the share of spoils is on the cards in London. Both Lewis Cook and Emiliano Marcondes should be fit for the match, while all Darren Randolph, Lloyd Kelly, Emiliano Marcondes, and Ryan Fredericks remain on the sidelines with injuries. In their last encounter in the English capital Bournemouth defeated Tottenham 3-2.

Prediction: 2-2

Liverpool will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Burnley when they take on Newcastle United in the Premier League round 20. The Reds want to finish 2023 in top position and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach in Monday’s clash. Diogo Jota should start from the bench once again despite finding the net in the triumph over Burnley, while the likes of Alexis Mac Allister, Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, Andy Robertson, and Stefan Bajcetic remain on the sidelines with injuries.

The Magpies, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their best form of late. Eddie Howe’s troops are still hit by injuries and given their poor defensive performance in a 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest, home win should be considered. All Javier Manquillo, Nick Pope, Joseph Willock, Jacob Murphy, Matthew Targett, and Harvey Barnes remain in the recovery room, speaking of the visiting side.

Prediction: 2-0 (Liverpool)

Tuesday’s football game between West Ham United and Brighton will bring down the curtain on the Premier League round 20. The Hammers did well to shock Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, with the team extending their winning run to three games, but they do not want to stop now. Lucas Paqueta should be fit for the match despite limping off with injury in the local derby, while Michail Antonio remains on the sidelines with a knee injury.

The Seagulls, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 4-2 win over Tottenham and given West Ham’s attacking potential at home, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Fit-again Ecuador international Pervis Estupinan should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute against Spurs, whereas all Solly March, Julio Enciso, Adam Webster, Ansu Fati, Tariq Lamptey, Joel Veltman, Kaoru Mitoma, and Simon Adingra remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Prediction: 2-2

They return to Milan on Saturday for this clash with the Rosoneri, having troubled them over the last few years. AC Milan have lost their last three home meetings with Sassuolo, including a 5-2 defeat in January of this year.

The hosts are coming through a bit of a wobble, having drawn 2-2 with bottom club Salernitana in their last outing. Sassuolo forward Domenico Berardi looks set to give them a tough time, having racked up 11 Serie A goals against the Rossoneri, scoring in his last two away meetings with them.Berardi has nine goals this term for a Sassuolo side who are no strangers to high-scoring games

Prediction: With the visitors scoring 10 goals across their last three visits to face AC Milan, back Berardi to score and the Neroverdi to find the net at least twice.

Roma have lost to three of the top four ahead of this visit to second-placed Juventus on Saturday. The Giallorossi have not won any of their last 15 meetings with teams occupying the top two positions in the Serie A table at the start of the round, losing 10 of those. They’ve also failed to win away to any side above 15th in the table ahead of this trip to a ground where they tend to struggle.

Juventus have won 10 of their 12 home matches against Roma in Serie A and the visitors’ away record suggests that run can continue. Mourinho’s outfit have lost nine away games in 2023 in the league. They’ve only lost more in a calendar year on two occasions across the previous 45 years.

Prediction: Juventus have won 12 of 17 league games this season, including six wins from eight at home. The Old Lady have won eight of their last 10 starts and they’re good value to add to that at a shade above evens.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Both teams are now in good shape and are approaching this match in a good mood. “Fiorentina” won two victories over not the strongest opponents, but what is more important is that the “violets” were able to keep a clean sheet in both cases. “Torino” also hasn’t lost for a long time and the team has found its game, although the most serious opponent over the last four games was “Atalanta”. In our opinion, “Fiorentina” is the favorite of the match and deservedly so, since the team lost at home only once this season. Let’s add here the fact that over the last seven head-to-head meetings at the Artemio Franchi, the home team has five wins, one draw and only one victory for Torino.

Prediction: We bet on the home team to win.

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

On the face of it, there’s little between these two sides heading into Tuesday night’s clash. However, Villarreal have a terrible record against the top 10 with eight defeats from nine clashes. Their defence has clear gaps, as the visitors ship 1.94 goals per game ahead of this trip.

Valencia are a very different side, with their successes built on a solid foundation. They’ve conceded only four goals across their eight home games this term. They’ve kept five clean sheets at their own ground, winning four of those matches. It’s likely their focus here will be on keeping things tight before exploiting Villarreal’s defensive issues.

The hosts have scored 63% of their goals after half-time so a draw at the break before a Valencia win is something to consider.

Prediction: However, the hosts look worth backing to simply take the points, especially having won four of the last five meetings with Villarreal at this ground.

As part of the 19th round of the Spanish La Liga, Getafe will host Rayo Vallecano at the Coliseum stadium. The confrontation will take place on January 2

Getafe is having a great fall and in the final match of 2023 the home team has an excellent opportunity to score three points. “Rayo Vallecano” does not seem to be the team that has a chance of inflicting the first home defeat on the “villages”. Let's add here that the visitors' form is not the best, because they haven't won for a very long time.

Prediction: We believe that Getafe will be able to score at least one point in this match and suggest betting on Getafe's victory

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

As part of the 19th round of the Spanish La Liga, Real Sociedad will host Alaves at the Anoeta stadium. The confrontation will take place on January 2

Real Sociedad can definitely be satisfied with the previous calendar year, since the team made it to the Champions League in the spring and overcame the group stage in the fall. The team definitely wants to start the year 2024 with a victory, especially since an opponent will come to visit and will fight to maintain their residence permit. At home, Real Sociedad always plays well, especially since all the leaders are in the ranks, which means you need to outplay your opponent with class.

Prediction: We suggest placing a bet on the victory of “Real Sociedad”

Expert: Artem Ivanov - Football expert

Back Los Blancos to win to nil as they have five clean sheets and eight wins in their last 10 games, with two draws, and Mallorca have a poor road record.

Los Piratas have five defeats in nine away La Liga games and they have failed to score in their last three road losses. Real have five clean sheets in their last eight at home, and can win without conceding on Wednesday.

The hosts have been getting plenty of goals in front of their own fans and have scored at least four goals in three of their last four at home, and exactly four twice. As such, a 4-0 Real Madrid win is the correct score prediction.

Prediction: Real Madrid are the clear favourites to beat Mallorca in La Liga on Wednesday and they should be able to win without conceding.

Expert: Freesupertips - website

Celta have nine defeats in 18 games but only one of those losses has come in their last five in La Liga (W1, D3) and there are perhaps tentative signs of a recovery at the Balaidos.

As such, backing both teams to score looks the best option for our main bet rather than the result markets – as there could well be goas at both ends in this one.

Celta have just one clean sheet in nine home games this season and that came against fellow strugglers Granada. They have scored themselves in five of their last six home games, while both teams have scored in four of Betis’ last five overall

Prediction: A 2-1 win for the visitors is the correct score prediction as Betis should have the quality to claim maximum points

Only Real Madrid have managed to beat Girona this season in La Liga and they have won 14 of their 18 games in total.

Atleti sit in third spot but have struggled for results on the road of late, losing each of their last three away games in La Liga.

A win for the hosts is the best option for the main bet here given their home form, but Los Colchoneros can get on the scoresheet and a 2-1 victory for Girona is the correct score prediction. Girona have conceded in five of their last seven home games and Atleti have managed 13 goals in their eight trips.

Prediction: Girona entertain Atletico Madrid in La Liga on Wednesday and the Catalan club can send out a message by beating the team from the capital.

Granada will be aiming to secure their first victory in the league since August 26, 2023 when they face Cadiz in round 19 of La Liga. After suffering a 3-0 defeat to Sevilla, Los Granadinos encountered various defensive issues and undoubtedly, they are desperate to kick off 2024 in an impressive fashion. Ahead of Wednesday's match, boss Alexandre Medina is under pressure and will be unable to rely on the services of goalkeeper Raul Fernandez and defender Jesus Vallejo.

On the other hand, the Yellow Submarine performed well in their goalless draw against Real Sociedad on Matchday 18. With Cadiz eager to put an end to their 14-game winless streak, it is tempting to bet on both teams scoring. Unfortunately, Ivan Alejo Peralta will be unavailable due to suspension, while Jose Mari will miss out due to injury. It is worth noting that these two teams have shared the points in four of their last five meetings across all competitions.

Prediction: 1-1

Thursday’s football game at Estadio El Sadar pits together Osasuna and Almeria, the two teams who were beaten by Mallorca and Barcelona respectively on Matchday 18. Osasuna are eyeing their third home win of the process and they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Chimy Avila is pushing for a start following his fine display against los Bermellones, while both Ruben Garcia and Johan Mojica are sidelined with injuries.

The Andalusians, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only five points on their account. As Almeria have already suffered eight defeats on the road this term, we are tempted to place our bets on Osasuna this time out. Iddrisu Baba is banned for the match, while all Gonzalo Melero, Lucas Robertone, Ibrahima Kone, Luis Suarez, and Martin Svidersky miss out with injuries.

Prediction: 2-0 (Osasuna)

All attention will be on Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan as Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao face off in round 19 of La Liga. Sevilla is determined to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid, and the fans eagerly anticipate Quique Sanchez Flores' debut on their home ground. However, the new manager will have to navigate the match without key players such as Acuna, Lukebakio, Mariano Diaz, Jesus Navas, and Erik Lamela.

Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao enters the game on the back of consecutive wins against Atletico Madrid and Las Palmas. With their collective mentality, the Lions pose a greater challenge as a team compared to Sevilla. Taking into consideration the number of absences in the home team, there is considerable value in betting on the Basque outfit. As for the visiting team, there are no recent injury concerns, although Oscar de Marcos and Yeray Alvarez continue to remain sidelines.

Prediction: 0-1 (Athletic Bilbao)

Thursday’s football game between Las Palmas and Barcelona will bring down the curtain on day 19 of the new La Liga campaign. La Union Deportiva aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Athletic Bilbao, but they face an uphill task against Barcelona, who want to stay in the title race. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but both Alberto Moleiro and Fabio Gonzalez remain in the recovery room.

Barca, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Almeria. The Catalans are eager to melt Real Madrid’s advantage in the standings and seeing that Las Palmas suit them, away win should be considered. You should know that Barca emerged triumphant in five of their last six meetings with Las Palmas in the national championship. The likes of Gavi, Marcos Alonso, Inigo Martinez, and Pedri are sidelined with injuries, speaking of the visiting side.

Prediction: 0-2 (Barcelona)

Bologna will be aiming to recover from a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Udinese as they face Genoa in the 19th round of Serie A. Manager Thiago Motta is expected to make some changes to the lineup after the loss to the Zebrette. Players like Aebischer, Lucumi, and Orsolini are pushing for a starting spot. Unfortunately, Dan Ndoye and Adama Soumaoro are currently sidelined with injuries, while Lewis Ferguson will be unavailable due to suspension.

When it comes to their performances at home, Bologna has shown consistency and produced impressive displays. However, they have struggled to replicate the same level of success on their travels. Given Bologna's strong home record, there is a temptation to bet on Thiago Motta's team. It is important to note that Motta will not be on the sidelines for this match as he serves his suspension following his sending-off in the previous league fixture. As for Genoa, they do not have any new injury concerns to worry about.

Prediction: 2-1 (Bologna)

Following a routine 4-1 win over Cagliari in Coppa Italia, Milan will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Empoli in the Serie A round 19. The Rossoneri want to keep their Scudetto hopes alive and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach in Saturday’s clash. All Fikayo Tomori, Tommaso Pobega, Noah Okafor, Malick Thiaw, Pierre Kalulu, and Marco Sportiello are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

The Azzurri, on the other hand, aim to escape the relegation zone, but they will have a big fish to fry against Milan. As Stefano Pioli rested key players in the Italian Cup triumph, we are tempted to put our money on the title-chasing visitors this time out. To make things even worse for the home side, defender Liberato Cacace misses out through suspension, while both Bartosz Bereszynski and Gabriele Guarino remain on the sidelines with injuries

Prediction: 0-2 (Milan)

Sassuolo and Fiorentina face each other at Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore in the closing match of Saturday’s program. The Neroverdi do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing four of their last five league matches, while sharing the spoils with Udinese. Sassuolo are eager to kick off 2024 in style and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against Fiorentina. The likes of Daniel Boloca, Gregoire Defrel, Uros Racic, Matias Vina, and Pedro Mba Obiang continue to miss out with injuries.

The Viola, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Italian top flight. Fiorentina have been impressive at the back of late and given Sassuolo’s poor form, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. Barring any fresh injury worries, Vincenzo Italiano is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Torino in the last game of 2023.

Inter will be looking to solidify their position at the top of the table when they play Verona in Matchday 19 after dropping points in a 1-1 draw with Genoa. The Nerazzurri have a strong track record with four consecutive home wins and are expected to be strong favorites against the Mastini at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. Both Federico Dimarco and Juan Cuadrado are out due to injuries but captain Lautaro Martinez is expected to recover in time for the match against Verona. Verona, however, did not perform well in a 1-0 loss to Salernitana, giving little indication that they can upset Inter at “Meazza”. While there are no new injury concerns for the away team, we anticipate that the league leaders will secure a win in the game. In their previous meeting in the Italian top flight, Inter dominated Verona with a 6-0 victory.

Prediction: 2-0 (Inter)

Frosinone will look to put an end to their three-game losing run in the Serie A when they take on Monza on Matchday 19. The Canarini suffered a dip in form, but they are surely capable of matching Monza in front of home fans. All Riccardo Marchizza, Anthony Oyono, and Sergio Kalaj are sidelined with injuries, while both Pol Lirola and Jaime Baez are major doubts.

The Biancorossi, on the other hand, did well to hold Napoli to a goalless draw in their last game of 2023. As Monza are likely to rely on their solid defence in Saturday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Mirko Maric serves a one-game ban, while fellow forward Gianluca Caprari is sidelined with an ACL injury. Keep in mind, though, that Frosinone outplayed Monza 4-1 in their last meeting in a competitive match.

Prediction: 0-0

Lecce will be looking to bounce back from consecutive defeats to Inter and Atalanta when they play Cagliari in Serie A round 19. The Giallorossi faced a challenging schedule in late December, but they are capable of putting up a good fight against Cagliari in front of their home crowd. Lameck Banda is suspended for the match, while Kastriot Dermaku and Pontus Almqvist are both sidelined with injuries. Conversely, the Rossoblu disappointed in their 4-1 loss to AC Milan's reserve team in the Coppa Italia, and due to their struggles away from home, we believe there is significant value in betting on Lecce. Eldor Shomurodov and Marko Rog are still recovering from injuries, while midfielder Ibrahim Sulemana is expected to return to the starting lineup after coming on as a substitute in the Italian Cup defeat.

Prediction: 1-0 (Lecce)

All eyes will be on Stadio Friuli when Udinese and Lazio square off against each other in the Serie A round 19. The Zebrette rolled over Bologna 3-0 in their last league match, with the team putting an end to their six-game winless run and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Lazio. The likes of Vivaldo, Keinan Davis, Jaka Bijol, Enzo Ebosse, Brenner, and Gerard Deulofeu remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

The capital club, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Empoli and Frosinone, but beating Udinese on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards in Udine and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. As for the away side, Manuel Lazzari is back from suspension, while both Ciro Immobile and Luis Alberto miss out with injuries.

Prediction: 1-1

The upcoming Serie A clash between Torino and Napoli is set to take place at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino and promises to be a highly anticipated match. After suffering a 1-0 defeat against Fiorentina, Torino will be eager to bounce back and are confident in their ability to compete with Napoli, who are currently facing their own struggles. The Paraguay international, Antonio Sanabria, is expected to make a return to Torino's starting lineup, while defender Perr Schuurs remains sidelined due to an ACL injury.

On the other hand, Walter Mazzarri's side is still reeling from an embarrassing 4-0 Coppa Italia loss to Frosinone. In Serie A, they were defeated by AS Roma and had to settle for a draw against Monza. However, Torino's formidable home record makes them a formidable opponent, and many are inclined to support Ivan Juric's team. Napoli, on the other hand, will be missing key players such as Alex Meret, Natan Souza, and Mathias Olivera in Sunday's game.

Prediction: 1-0 (Torino)

Sunday’s football game at Stadio Arechi pits together Salernitana and Juventus, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. I Granata desperately needed a win against Verona and they managed to get one thanks to Loum Tchaouna’s goal. Salernitana did well to put an end to their four-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to avoid relegation to Serie B. Forward Boulaye Dia remains in the recovery room, while goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s showdown.

The Bianconeri, on the other hand, proved their worth in a hard-fought 1-0 win over AS Roma and seeing that they outplayed Salernitana 3-0 in their last meeting at Stadio Arechi, we are tempted to place our bets on Massimiliano Allegri’s troops. Manuel Locatelli is banned for the match, while all Alex Sandro, Moise Kean, and Mattia De Sciglio remain in the recovery room.

Prediction: 0-2 (Juventus)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sunday’s football game between AS Roma and Atalanta will bring down the curtain on day 19 of the new Serie A campaign. The Romans aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Juventus and their fine home record of 6-2-1 is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Atalanta. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but both Chris Smalling and Tammy Abraham continue to miss out with injuries.

The Orobici aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Lecce and a triumph over Roma will see them move closer to the Champions League berth. The Giallorossi, though, have turned their Stadio Olimpico into a real fortress, which is the main reason why we are going to bet on Jose Mourinho’s troops. Both Hans Hateboer and Jose Luis Palomino are sidelined with injuries, while both Rafael Toloi and El Bilal Toure are rated doubtful.

Prediction: 2-1 (Roma)

Burnley will look to recover from the FA Cup loss to Tottenham when they take on Luton Town in the Premier League round 21. The Clarets are on a three-game losing run in all competitions, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course in the national championship. Midfielder Josh Brownhill is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Sander Berge misses out through suspension. Both Benson Manue and Luca Koleosho are sidelined with injuries.

The Hatters, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with League One side Bolton at the weekend and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Burnley are going to pick up all three points from Friday’s encounter. Experienced Luton midfielder Andros Townsend returns to the starting line-up, while defender Issa Kabore is on international duty. Both Tom Lockyer and Reece Burke remain in the recovery room.

Prediction: 2-1 (Burnley)

The opening match of La Liga round 20 will witness a clash between Sevilla and Deportivo Alaves at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. After their recent victory in the Copa del Rey against Ferrol, Los Sevillanos are eager to maintain their momentum and are confident in their ability to compete with the Basques on their home turf. With Youssef En-Nesyri occupied with international commitments for Morocco, Rafa Mir is expected to take charge of leading the hosts' attacking line. However, there are several injury concerns for Sevilla, as Nemanja Gudelj, Marcos Acuna, Jesus Navas, Erik Lamela, and Mariano Diaz are likely to miss the match.

On the other hand, Alaves has struggled away from home this season and is still in search of their first away victory. Considering their previous track record at the "Pizjuan" stadium, where they have lost seven out of their last nine encounters with Sevilla, it is highly probable that the home team will secure a triumph. Alaves will have to cope without Abdel Abqar, who is on international duty, and Aleksandar Sedlar, who is currently sidelined due to injury.

Prediction: 1-0 (Sevilla)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Bayern Munich will look to melt Bayer Leverkusen’s advantage in the Bundesliga standings to only one point when they take on Hoffenheim in the opening match of round 17. The Bavarians played out a slim 1-1 draw with Basel during the winter break, but they are seen as hot favourites to beat Hoffenheim at their Allianz Arena. Important midfielder Joshua Kimmich is back to contention as well as Leon Goretzka, while pacey winger Serge Gnabry remains in the recovery room, alongside Noussair Mazraoui, Bouna Sarr, and Gabriel Marusic.

The visitors, on the other hand, are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, meaning that a high-scoring affair is on the cards. Hoffenheim midfielder Diadie Samassekou is on international duty with Mali, while all Bambase Conte, Mergim Berisha, Marco John, and Dennis Geiger remain on the sidelines with injuries. Bayern Munich defenders should have Croatia striker Andrej Kramaric at bay.

Prediction: 3-1 (Bayern Munich)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

The 18th round of the new Ligue 1 campaign will kick off with a football match between Olympique Marseille and Strasbourg on Friday. Marseille is determined to secure a Champions League spot and we are confident they will give their all against Le Racing. However, it's important to note that Marseille will be entering the match with a significantly weakened squad. Players such as Mbemba, Harit, Ounahi, Sarr, Gueye, and Ngapandouetnbu are all currently on international duty. As a result, talented Moroccan midfielder Bilal Nadir is expected to start against Strasbourg.

Strasbourg, on the other hand, had no issues in their 4-0 win over Avoine in the Coupe de France. However, they will face a much tougher challenge against Marseille. Despite the absence of key players, Marseille's coach Gennaro Gattuso still has several high-profile players to choose from. We predict that the hosts, who are chasing a spot in the Champions League, will come away with all three points from the match. Strasbourg will have to cope without the services of Saidou Sow, who is also on international duty, and the injured trio of Thomas Delaine, Lebo Mothiba, and Ismael Doukoure.

Prediction: 2-1 (Marseille)

Following a 1-1 draw with Roma, Atalanta will look to start a new winning run in the Serie A when they take on Frosinone on Matchday 20. The Orobici are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Ademola Lookman is representing Nigeria at the 2024 AFCON, while both El Bilal Toure and Hans Hateboer are out of contention with injuries. Defender Rafael Toloi faces race against the clock to be fit for Monday’s encounter.

The Canarini, on the other hand, suffered yet another disappointing defeat at the weekend, with the team losing to Monza in front of home fans and given their shaky defence, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting in Bergamo Atalanta rolled over Frosinone 4-0. As for the away team, Riccardo Marchizza remains on the sidelines with injury, while all Antony Oyono, Jaime Baez, and Sergio Kalaj are major doubts

Prediction: 3-1 (Atalanta)

There will be fireworks when Chelsea and Fulham lock horns at Stamford Bridge in the London derby. The Blues have been showing signs of improvement of late, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to represent England in European competitions next season. Mauro Pochettino’s troops are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, but keep in mind that summer signing Nicolas Jackson is on international duty. Christopher Nkunku has overcome his minor injury, while both Ben Chilwell and Carney Chukwuemeka are major doubts.

The Cottagers, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels. Fulham are on a four-game losing run on the road in the national championship, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the in-form hosts. To make things even worse for the away side, all Fode Ballo, Calvin Bassey, and Alex Iwobi represent their homelands at the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations.

Prediction: 3-1 (Chelsea)

All eyes will be on St. James’ Park when Newcastle United and Manchester City go head to head in the Premier League derby on Saturday. The Magpies did well to beat Sunderland 3-0 in the Tyne and Wear derby at the weekend, with the FA Cup win giving them a confidence boost. Talented midfielder Lewis Miley is pushing for a start, while all Callum Wilson, Javier Manquillo, Nick Pope, Joseph Willock, Matthew Targett, and Harvey Barnes remain in the recovery room.

The Citizens, on the other hand, are eyeing their sixth consecutive win in all competitions and seeing that Kevin De Bruyne is available for selection, away win should be considered. Top scorer Erling Haaland is a major doubt, whereas defender John Stones continues to miss out with an ankle injury. When the two teams met in the EFL Cup in September 2023, Newcastle United defeated Man City thanks to Alexander Isak’s goal, meaning that Pep Guardiola’s troops are hungry for revenge.

Prediction: 0-2 (Man City)

Saturday's La Liga action will kick off with an exciting clash between Las Palmas and Villarreal in the 20th round. Las Palmas have been enduring a tough spell, having suffered three consecutive defeats in all competitions. Their confidence must be shaken after their recent Canary Islands derby loss to Tenerife. However, they will be boosted by the return of defender Julian Araujo to the starting lineup after being ineligible for the last league match against Barcelona. On the flip side, midfielder Daley Sinkgraven will miss out due to suspension.

Villarreal, known as the Yellow Submarine, are in search of a rebound following their surprising Copa del Rey defeat against Unionistas, a lower-league side. Considering Las Palmas' strong home form, we believe there is value in betting on a draw for punters worldwide. Overall, Saturday's encounter between Las Palmas and Villarreal promises to be an intriguing battle, with both teams eager to secure a positive result.

Prediction: 1-1

Estadi Mallorca Son Moix will host Saturday’s La Liga game between Mallorca and Celta Vigo, the two bottom-table sides. Los Bermellones have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Osasuna, losing to Real Madrid, while sharing the spoils with Almeria. Mallorca are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground and you should that they have suffered only one loss in front of home fans this term. Serbia defender Matija Nastasic serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while experienced forward Vedat Muriqi faces race against the clock to be fit for the Celta game.

Os Celeste, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement in early January, with the team beating Betis in La Liga, while eliminating Amorebieta in Copa del Rey. However, the share of spoils is on the cards this time out as Mallorca are tough to beat on home soil. Celta forward Jonathan Bamba is on international duty, while goalkeeper Ivan Villar misses out through suspension.

Prediction: 1-1

The Basque derby between Athletic Club and Real Sociedad at Estadio San Mames is sure to be an exciting encounter. Athletic Club recently secured a 3-0 victory over Eibar in the Copa del Rey, extending their winning streak to four games. However, with key attacker Inaki Williams representing Ghana at the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations and defender Yeray Alvarez sidelined with a muscle injury, a home win is not guaranteed.

Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are looking to build on their recent Copa del Rey win over Malaga, but facing Athletic at "San Mames" is no easy task. With Takefusa Kubo, Hamari Traore, and Umar Sadiq on international duty and goalkeeper Alex Remiro suspended, as well as Martin Merquelanz and Aritz Elustondo sidelined with injuries, the team faces several challenges. Considering these factors, a draw seems like a good bet for this match.

There will be fireworks when Real Betis and Granada take on each other at Estadio Benito Villamarin in the Andalusian derby. Los Beticos aim to recover from the Copa del Rey loss to Deportivo Alaves and the bookies see them as hot favourites to win the closing match of Saturday’s program. Keep in mind, though, that all Chadi Riad, Youssouf Sabaly, and Abde Ezzalzouli are on international duty.

Los Granadinos, on the other hand, are not enjoying a season to remember, with the team sitting in the relegation zone with only 11 points on their account. Alexander Medina’s men defeated Cadiz 2-0 at home in their last league match, but given their poor away record in the 2023/2024 La Liga campaign, home win should definitely be considered. As for the away team, defender Ricard Sanchez misses out through suspension, while goalkeeper Raul Fernandez is sidelined with injury.

Prediction: 2-1 (Betis)

Saturday’s Serie A clash between Genoa and Torino will take place at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. Both teams are positioned in the middle of the table. Genoa has been on an undefeated streak in their last four league matches, and they are expected to pose a challenge for Torino in front of their home crowd. The only confirmed absence for Genoa is Morten Thorsby due to injury.

On the other hand, Torino swiftly recovered from a 1-0 loss to Genoa by securing a 3-0 victory against Napoli at home. However, Genoa has a strong record at home, making a draw the most likely outcome. Torino's Perr Schuurs, Beanou-Junior Soppy, and Nemanja Radonjic continue to be sidelined with injuries. It is worth noting that in three of the last four meetings between these two teams in Serie A, under 2.5 goals were scored.

Prediction: 0-0

Napoli will look to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Serie A when they welcome Salernitana to their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Matchday 20. The Neapolitans will be without Victor Osimhen and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa in Saturday’s clash as the duo is on the international duty, while defender Pasquale Mazzocchi misses out through suspension. Anyhow, Walter Mazzarri’s men will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the Serie A.

I Granata, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Juventus. Salernitana have been struggling at the back and, taking everything into account, they are unlikely to claim a major scalp in the Serie A round 20. To make things even worse for the relegation strugglers, both Lassana Coulibaly and Jovane Cabral are on the international duty, while Giulio Maggiore serves a one-game ban

Prediction: 2-0 (Napoli)

Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi will host Saturday’s football game between Verona and Empoli, the two relegation-threatened sides. The Mastini are eager to move away from bottom three and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Azzurri. France forward Thomas Henry is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Inter, while Serbia wing-back Darko Lazovic is banned for the match.

The visitors, meanwhile, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Milan and given Verona’s fine performance in the unlucky defeat to Inter, home win should definitely be considered. As for the away side, defender Tyronne Ebuehi has joined the likes of Simone Bastoni, Gabriele Guarino, and Giuseppe Pezzella in the recovery room. Filippo Ranocchia is widely expected to replace Ebuehi in the starting line-up. New Zealand international Liberato Cacace is back from suspension.

After surviving Verona in the last league match, Inter will be looking to cement top position in the standings when they take on Monza in the Serie A round 20. The Nerazzurri are leading the chase for their 20th Scudetto, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to lift the silverware. Juan Cuadrado remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team.

The Biancorossi, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Frosinone. Monza are tough to beat at home, but they will have a big fish to fry against the league leaders. Earlier in the process Inter defeated Monza 2-0 at “Meazza” and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Michele Di Gregorio has joined Gianluca Caprari in the treatment room, with Alessandro Sorrentino likely to step up.

Prediction: 0-2 (Inter)

Saturday's Ligue 1 clash between Rennes and Nice will take place at Roazhon Park. Both teams secured victories against Clermont and Lens respectively before the winter break. Rennes, aiming to secure a spot in the Europa League, will likely push for a win in their first league game of the year. However, they will be without midfielder Christopher Wooh, who is on international duty with Cameroon, as well as Lorenz Assignon and Nemanja Matic due to injuries.

Nice, on the other hand, are looking to build on their 2-0 win over Lens. However, their struggles on the road in December make them the underdogs in this match. Additionally, Jean-Clair Todibo is suspended for the game, while Youcef Atal, Hichem Boudaoui, and Jeremie Boga are participating in the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations. Bouanani, Balde, Thuram, and Diop are also sidelined with injuries, further weakening their squad.

After surviving Lens in the Coupe de France last 64, Monaco will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Reims in the Ligue 1 round 18. Monaco aim to stay in the Champions League berth, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. As all Stephane Singo, Mohammed Salisu, Ismail Jakobs, Krepin Diatta, Takumi Minamino, and Mohamed Camara are on international duty, home win should not be considered.

Reims, on the other hand, aim to climb to the Europa League berth, but beating Monaco at Stade Louis II is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. The likes of Oumar Diakite, Ibrahim Diakite, Yunis Abdelhamid, Amir Richardson, Junya Ito, and Keito Nakamura are at AFCON and Asian Cup respectively, speaking of the visiting side.

Lille will be aiming to build on a splendid 12-0 Coupe de France win over Golden Lion when they take on Lorient in their first league game of 2024. Les Dogues are eyeing their sixth home win of the process and they are likely to adopt an attack-oriented approach in Sunday’s matinee. Both Adam Ounas and Nabil Bentaleb are banned for the match, while all Ivan Cavaleiro, Bafode Diakite, and Tiago Djalo are out of contention with injuries.

Lorient, on the other hand, are stuck in the relegation zone and given their three-game losing run in the French top flight, home win should be considered. Les Merlus defender Julien Laporte is pushing for a start, while all Darline Yongwa, Gedeon Kalulu, Formose Mendy, Montassar Talbi, Sirine Doucoure, Bamba Dieng, and Alfred Gomis are on international duty. Midfielder Quentin Boisgard has yet to overcome a foot injury.

Prediction: 2-0 (Lille)

Tuesday’s football game between Juventus and Sassuolo will bring down the curtain on the Serie A round 20. The Bianconeri showed character in a 2-1 win over Salernitana, with Serbia forward Dusan Vlahovic scoring the winner in the stoppage time and, no doubt, the title-chasing hosts are high on confidence ahead of the visit of Sassuolo. Samuel Illing Junior is widely expected to replace Filip Kostic in the starting XI following his excellent performance against I Granata, while Weston McKennie serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards. Federico Chiesa faces race against the clock to be fit for Tuesday’s encounter.

The Neroverdi, on the other hand, were more than fortunate to beat Fiorentina at the weekend as the Viola missed a penalty and a couple of clear-cut chances to score. Sassuolo are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Juve’s party in Turin. All Matias Vina, Uros Racic, and Pedro Mba Obiang should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.

Prediction: 2-0  (Juventus)

Alaves will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 3-2 win over Sevilla when they take on Cadiz in the La Liga round 21. The Basques showed character in the “Pizjuan” triumph, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence and they now want to record their fifth home win of the process. Both Abdelbekir Abqar and Jesus Owono are on international duty, while defender Aleksandar Sedlar remains on the sidelines with an ACL injury.

The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 4-1 loss to Valencia and given the number of absentees in the visiting team, home win should definitely be considered. All Ruben Sobrino, Javi Hernandez, and Ruben Alcaraz are banned for the match, while both Darwin Machis and Roger Marti are out of contention through injuries. In the first half of the season Cadiz defeated Alaves 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge

Mainz and Union Berlin take on each other at Mewa Arena in the opening match of the Bundesliga round 18. Die Nullfunfer shared the spoils with Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg respectively in their last two league matches and they are now on a quest to record their first league win since November 11, 2023. Midfielder Jae-Sung Lee is on international duty, while both Stefan Bell and Nelson Weiper are sidelined with injuries.

The capital club, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Freiburg. Union Berlin are to escape the danger zone, but given their difficulties on the road, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Aissa Laidouni is representing Tunisia at the Africa Cup of Nations, while both Sheraldo Becker and Rani Khedira are out of contention with injuries.

Arsenal is aiming to halt their streak of three consecutive losses across all competitions when they face Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners have a strong desire to remain competitive for the title and we believe they will attack with full force against the Eagles. Gabriel Martinelli is pushing for a spot in the starting lineup after being a substitute in the FA Cup defeat to Liverpool. Additionally, Gabriel Jesus should recover in time to participate in the local derby. Mohamed Elneny and Takehiro Tomiyasu are currently on international duty and therefore unavailable.

On the other hand, the visitors find themselves only five points above the relegation zone. Given their recent four-match winless run in away games, we predict that the hosts, who are vying for the title, will secure all three points in Saturday's encounter. Jordan Ayew is representing Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Rob Holding and Michael Olise are both doubtful for the match.

Prediction: 2-0 (Arsenal)

Following five consecutive league defeats, Brentford will look to get back on course in the Premier League when they face Nottingham Forest on Matchday 21. Towering defender Kristoffer Ajer is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, while all Yoane Wissa, Saman Ghoddos, Frank Onyeka, and Ji-soo Kim are on international duty.

The Reds, on the other hand, did well to shock Newcastle United and Manchester United in the previous two league matches, but beating Brentford in London is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Ola Aina, Serge Aurier, Willy Boly, Cheikhou Kouyate, Moussa Niakhate, and Ibrahim Sangare are all on international duty, while important attacker Taiwo Awoniyi faces race against the clock to be fit for Saturday’s encounter. Defender Felipe misses out with a hamstring problem.

Campo de Futbol de Vallecas will host Saturday’s football game between Rayo Vallecano and Las Palmas, the two mid-table sides. Los Vallecanos desperately needed a win against Getafe and they managed to get one, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. The capital club aim to keep on climbing the standings, but the round 21 clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Both Bebe and Pathe Ciss are on international duty, while midfielder Kike Perez is sidelined through suspension.

La Union Deportiva, on the other hand, did well to crush Villarreal 3-0 in their last league match, but given their anything but good away record (3-1-6), we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. Defender Julian Araujo continues to miss out through suspension, while both Machin Perez and Fabio Gonzalez are out of contention with injuries.

Mallorca will be looking to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 defeat against Las Palmas when they face Villarreal in Matchday 21. Following their thrilling 3-2 victory over Celta Vigo in their last home game, the Yellow Submarine will be hopeful of securing another positive result against Mallorca. Alexander Sorloth is vying for a place in the starting lineup, but Aissa Mandi is unavailable due to international duty with Algeria. Raul Albiol, Juan Foyth, and Yeremi Pino continue to be sidelined with injuries.

Meanwhile, Mallorca has experienced mixed results recently, with a win against Osasuna, a loss to Real Madrid, and a draw against Celta Vigo. The current form of Mallorca and Villarreal suggests that they are evenly matched, and considering all factors, we predict that a draw will be the outcome of Saturday's clash. Defender Giovanni Gonzalez will miss the game due to suspension, while Pablo Maffeo and Martin Valjent are both out with injuries. There is also some uncertainty surrounding the availability of Kosovo striker Vedat Muriqi.

Prediction: 1-1

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Valencia and Athletic Bilbao go head to head at Estadio de Mestalla in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. Los Che made a flying start to the new year, with the team beating both Villarreal and Cadiz in style and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Both Selim Amallah (midfielder) and Mouctar Diakhaby (defender) are on international duty, but seeing that Ruben Baraja can count on important attackers for the round 21 clash, we predict that Valencia will extend their goal-scoring round in La Liga.

The Lions, on the other hand, will be without Inaki Williams in Saturday’s clash as the 29-year-old striker is representing Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations, but given their fine offensive display in a 2-1 win over fellow Basque side Real Sociedad, both teams to score betting option should be considered.

Prediction: 1-1

Saturday's La Liga match between Celta Vigo and Real Sociedad will take place at Estadio de Balaidos. The two teams currently find themselves in different positions in the league table. Celta Vigo's main objective is to secure their survival in the top division, while Real Sociedad is aiming to qualify for European competitions once again.

A player to keep an eye on in Celta Vigo's squad is the experienced forward, Iago Aspas, who scored the opening goal in their previous match against Mallorca. However, Jonathan Bamba will be unavailable as he is on international duty. Additionally, goalkeeper Ivan Villar will miss the game due to suspension.Real Sociedad, managed by Imanol Alguacil, is determined to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Athletic Club. However, defeating Celta Vigo on their home turf is no easy task. Considering all factors, we believe that a draw is a likely outcome for this match. Takefusa Kubo, Hamari Traore, and Sadiq Umar are also on international duty, while Martin Merquelanz is still recovering from an injury.

Prediction: 1-1

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Roma will be aiming to snap their three-match winless streak in Serie A as they face Verona in round 21 of the competition. After a disappointing 3-1 loss to AC Milan, the Giallorossi will be looking to seize this opportunity to regain momentum in the Italian top flight. However, they will be without the services of Houssem Aouar and Evan Ndicka, who are on international duty, as well as the suspended Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante.

Conversely, Verona was in dire need of a victory against fellow relegation contenders Empoli, and they managed to secure one. Nonetheless, Roma has established their Stadio Olimpico as a formidable fortress, which is perhaps the primary reason why we will be betting on Jose Mourinho's team. On the other hand, Ondrej Duda will be serving a one-game suspension for the away side, while Darko Lazovic remains sidelined due to suspension. In their previous encounter in the "Eternal City," Roma emerged victorious with a 1-0 win thanks to Ola Solbakken's goal.

Prediction: 1-0 (Roma)

Following a 2-2 draw with Fiorentina, Udinese will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Milan on Matchday 21. The Zebrette are only one point clear of the relegation zone, meaning that Saturday’s clash is of big importance for them. Experience French forward Florian Thauvin is pushing for a rare start after getting his name on the scoresheet in the last league match, while both Enzo Ebosse and Gerard Deulofeu continue to miss out with injuries.

The Rossoneri, on the other hand, produced a fine performance in a 3-1 win over Roma, with the team keeping their Scudetto hopes alive. Even though both Ismael Bennacer and Samuel Chukwueze are on international duty, we are tempted to put our money on Milan, who have been showing signs of improvement of late. Both Fikayo Tomori and Pierre Kalulu miss out with injuries, while Allessandro Florenzi is a major doubt.

Prediction: 0-2 (Milan)

Bochum will be keen to end their Bundesliga winless streak following a 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen as they face Stuttgart on Saturday afternoon. Bochum currently have a comfortable six-point lead over the relegation zone, but they must continue to improve their performance if they want to secure another season in the top flight of German football. The team will be without Takuma Asano and Cristian Gamboa, who are both serving suspensions, as well as Ivan Ordets and Michael Esser, who are sidelined with injuries.

On the other hand, Stuttgart struggled offensively in their match against Borussia M'gladbach, particularly with their top scorer Serhou Guirassy and other key players away on international duty. Hiroki Ito, Woo-yeong Jeong, and Silas Katompa Mvumpa will also be unavailable. Additionally, Deniz Undav, Lilian Egloff, and Nikolas Nartey are sidelined with injuries. Considering these factors, the home side seems to be the favored choice. Stuttgart previously defeated Bochum 5-0 in the first half of the season, which should only fuel the host team's desire for revenge.

Prediction: 2-0 (Bochum)

Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor will host Saturday’s Bundesliga game between Darmstadt and Eintracht Frankfurt, the two teams with totally different ambitions for the remainder of the season. The Lilywhites are fighting hard to secure the top flight survival, but their display in a 3-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund is not fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming fixtures. All Matthias Bader, Aaron Seydel, Fabian Nurnberger, Marvin Mehlem, Fraser Hornby, and Braydon Manu are out of contention with injuries for the home side.

Die Adler, on the other hand, did well to beat the odds at the weekend, with the team spoiling Leipzig’s party at Red Bull Arena and seeing that they aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, away win should be considered. Even though all Fares Chaibi, Omar Marmoush, and Ellyes Shkiri are on international duty, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side.

Prediction: 1-2 (Frankfurt)

The Bundesliga match between Koln and Borussia Dortmund is set to take place at the RheinEnergieStadion in a highly anticipated showdown. After going winless in their past four games, Koln will be eager to turn their fortunes around, but they face a tough challenge against the formidable Borussia Dortmund team. Koln will have to cope without the services of Davie Selke, Luca Waldschmidt, Mark Uth, and Leart Paqarada, who are all sidelined with injuries.

On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund is coming off a convincing 3-0 victory over Darmstadt, which has propelled them closer to securing a spot in the Champions League. Considering Koln's recent poor form, betting on Edin Terzic's side appears to offer good value. However, Borussia Dortmund will be without the services of Ramy Bensebaini and Sebastien Haller, who are on international duty. Additionally, players such as Mats Hummels, Karim Adeyemi, Julian Ryerson, Felix Nmecha, and Julien Duranville are sidelined with injuries. In their previous encounter this season, Borussia Dortmund emerged victorious against Koln thanks to a late goal by Donyell Malen.

Freiburg play host to Hoffenheim at their Europa-Park Stadion on day 18 of the new Bundesliga campaign.

Midfielder Ritsu Doan is on international duty, while all Kenneth Schmidt, Max Rosenfelder, Christian Gunter, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh are sidelined with injuries.

Hoffenheim, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-game winless run. As the visitors will go for a win in Saturday’s game as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. You should bear in mind that both sides managed to find the net in seven of their last eight meetings in all competitions. As for the away team, Diadie Samassekou is on international duty, while fellow midfielder Grischa Promel misses the match through suspension. All Mergim Berisha, Bambase Conte, Marco John, and Dennis Geiger remain in the recovery room.

Saturday's football match between Heidenheim and Wolfsburg is scheduled to take place at the Voith-Arena. These two teams are currently neck and neck in the Bundesliga standings, making the upcoming game even more intriguing. Heidenheim has been in good form lately, winning three out of their last four league matches. They will be looking to give the Wolves a tough time in front of their home fans. However, they will have to navigate the match without Marvin Pieringer, who is serving a suspension, as well as Kuhlwetter, Keller, and Qenaj, who are all sidelined with injuries.

On the other hand, Wolfsburg started the year with a 1-1 draw against Mainz, and considering their recent performances, another draw seems likely. Aster Vranckx and Mattias Svanberg will be unavailable due to suspension, while Kevin Paredes, Amin Sarr, Patrick Wimmer, and Lukas Nmecha are ruled out with injuries. In their earlier encounter this season, Wolfsburg emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over Heidenheim on their home turf.

Brighton will be aiming to build on the FA Cup win over Stoke when they take on Wolverhampton in the Premier League round 12.

Both Kaoru Mitoma and Simon Adingra are on international duty, while the likes of Igor, Joel Veltman, Tariq Lamptey, Ansu Fati, Solly March, and Julio Enciso should miss out with injuries.

Wolverhampton, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, but seeing that they head into Monday’s clash with a severely-weakened squad, home win should be considered. All Rayan Ait Nouri, Boubacar Traore, Hee-Chan Hwang, and Justin Hubner are on international duty, while midfielder Joao Gomes is banned for the match. In their last meeting at Amex Stadium Brighton rolled over Wolves 6-0.

Prediction: 3-1 (Brighton)

After suffering a 1-0 defeat against Real Betis, Granada is determined to bounce back in La Liga as they face Atletico Madrid on Sunday. Granada has endured a challenging run, losing three out of their last four league matches. Overcoming Diego Simeone's formidable team is undoubtedly a daunting task for them. Although Granada doesn't have any new injury concerns within their squad, it is difficult to place confidence in the struggling underdogs.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid is focused on securing a spot in the Champions League. Their display in the Spanish Super Cup defeat against Real Madrid showcased their attacking prowess, making them an appealing option for bettors worldwide. Although Reinildo Mandava is on international duty with Mozambique at the Africa Cup of Nations, Atletico Madrid doesn't have any fresh injury concerns among their players.

Buoyed by a thrilling FA Cup win (4-0) over Gillingham, Sheffield United will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they take on West Ham United on Matchday 21. The Blades were beaten by both Luton Town and Manchester City in the previous two league matches, but they are surely capable of matching David Moyes’ troops in front of home fans. Both Anis Ben Slimane and Yasser Larouci are on international duty, while Jayden Bogle has overcome his injury.

The Hammers, on the other hand, aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, but given their ups and downs on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Nayef Aguerd and Mohammed Kudus are representing Morocco and Ghana respectively at the Africa Cup of Nations, while both Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio miss out with injuries.

Vitality Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Bournemouth and Liverpool. The Cherries survived QPR in the FA Cup last 64 at the weekend, but they will have a mountain to climb against Jurgen Klopp’s troops. Both Dango Outtara and Antoine Semenyo are on international duty, while defender Marcos Senesi is banned for the match. Dominic Solanke should recover in time to face the league leaders.

The Reds, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in all competitions. Even though Mohamed Salah is on international duty, we are tempted to put our money on Jurgen Klopp’s men as Mo’s replacements have been producing fine performances. Both Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez are pushing for a start, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson remain in the recovery room. When the two teams met in the EFL Cup two months ago Liverpool defeated Bournemouth 2-1.

Bayern Munich will look to continue their winning streak after a comfortable 3-0 victory over Hoffenheim, as they face Werder Bremen on Saturday. The Bavarians impressed in their first match of the year and are heavily favored to defeat their opponents, die Werderaner. However, Bayern will have to navigate the absence of Min-Jae Kim and Noussair Mazraoui, who are on international duty. Additionally, Matthijs de Ligt, Dayot Upamecano, Serge Gnabry, and Bouna Sarr will not be able to contribute due to injuries.

Werder Bremen, on the other hand, has struggled on the road this season, failing to secure a victory away from home. Considering the overall circumstances, anything other than a routine win for Bayern Munich would be quite surprising. In the previous encounter between these teams in the first half of the season, Bayern triumphed with a convincing 4-0 scoreline. Predictably, history might repeat itself in this rematch. Werder Bremen faces further challenges as Leonardo Bittencourt and Marvin Ducksch are unavailable due to suspensions, while Naby Keita represents Guinea in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Prediction: 4-1 (Bayern Munich)

Sunday’s football game between Borussia M’gladbach and Augsburg will bring down the curtain on the Bundesliga round 18. Die Fohlen aim to build on a 3-1 win over Stuttgart, but it has to be noted that die Schwaben were without several first-team regulars in the last league match. The good news for the hosts is that defender Maximilian Wober is back from suspension, but Julian Weigl is banned for Sunday’s encounter. Ko Itakura is representing Japan at the 2024 Asian Cup.

The Bavarians, on the other hand, were on the verge of holding league leaders Bayer Leverkusen to a draw at the weekend, but Exequiel Palacios eventually scored a late winner for the BayArena outfit. Augsburg are not regarded as good travellers and given M’gladbach’s fine offensive display in the triumph over Stuttgart, home win should definitely be considered.

The 21st round of the Primera Division will see Osasuna and Getafe face each other at Estadio El Sadar. After their unsuccessful attempt to upset Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup semifinals, Osasuna is seen as the slight favorite by bookmakers to secure a victory against Getafe in front of their home fans. Johan Mojica's recovery from injury means that Jagoba Arrasate will have a fully-fit squad to choose from for Sunday's match. It is likely that the 45-year-old coach will opt for the 5-3-2 formation.

On the other hand, Getafe did not play in the national championship over the weekend. However, they will enter the match with a significantly weakened squad, which is why we believe that the home side has the upper hand. Mason Greenwood, Damian Suarez, Juanmi Latasa, and Jaime Mata are all serving bans and will be unavailable for the match, while Mauro Arambarri is sidelined with an injury. Djene is expected to be included in the starting lineup once again.

Real Madrid and Almeria square off against each other at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in a David-vs-Goliath clash. Los Blancos crushed Barcelona 4-1 in the Super Cup final, with fit-again winger Vinicius Junior scoring a hat-trick and, no doubt, the Brazil ace will pose a big threat for Almeria defenders as well. All Eder Militao, Lucas Vazquez, David Alaba, and Thibaut Courtois continue to miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

The Andalusians, on the other hand, produced a fine display in a goalless draw with league leaders Girona, but given their poor away record in the 2023/2024 La Liga campaign, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. To make things even worse for the away side, all Iddrisu Baba, Houboulang Mendes, and Marciano Sanca are on international duty, while Leo Baptistao misses out through suspension.

Prediction: 4-1 (Real Madrid)

An eagerly-anticipated Primera Division showdown awaits as Real Betis and Barcelona clash at Estadio Benito Viallamarin. Real Betis enters the match with confidence following their victory over Granada in the Andalusian derby, but they are well aware of the formidable challenge that Xavi's Barcelona presents. Unfortunately for Real Betis, Ayoze Perez sustained an injury in their last league match, opening the door for Assane Diao to step into the spotlight. Additionally, Chadi Riad, Youssouf Sabaly, and Abde Ezzalzouli are away on international duty, while Hector Bellerin continues his recovery on the sidelines.

Barcelona, on the other hand, experienced a crushing 4-1 defeat against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final, leading to a dip in confidence that could potentially hinder their performance. Given Real Betis' strong performance at home, a draw appears to be a highly plausible outcome worth considering. Raphinha and Gavi will unfortunately be unable to contribute due to their injuries, but Joao Cancelo is expected to recover in time to face Real Betis.

Girona will look to retain top position in La Liga standings when they take on Sevilla on Sunday evening. The Catalans are enjoying a season to remember, with the team leading the chase for the domestic trophy, but their performance in a goalless draw with Almeria was anything but promising. As both Aleix Garcia and David Lopez are banned for Sunday’s clash, home win should not be considered.

Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 defeat to Deportivo Alaves. Quique Sanchez Flores’ men are eager to return to winning ways as soon as possible, but seeing that Girona are tough to beat at home, the share of spoils is on the horizon. Morocco striker En Nesyri is on international duty, whilst midfielder Boubakary Soumare is sidelined through suspension. Both Nemanja Gudelj and Dodi Lukebakio remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Frosinone will be looking to halt their five-game losing streak in Serie A as they face Cagliari in Sunday's early kick-off. The Canarini had a difficult time defending in their 5-0 defeat against Atalanta, but they certainly have the ability to match the Rossoblu in front of their home crowd. There is anticipation for Romagnoli and Ghedjemis to potentially start, while Kalaj, Oyono, and Baez continue their recovery from injuries.

Meanwhile, Cagliari secured a 2-1 victory over Bologna at home over the weekend. However, considering their poor performance while playing away in the Italian top flight, it is believed that Frosinone has an opportunity to return to winning ways. Striker Zito Luvumbo is currently on international duty, while Gianluca Lapadula, Gaetano Oristanio, Marko Rog, and Eldor Shomurodov are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.

Talented forward Matteo Cancellieri serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

The Biancorossi, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a heavy 5-1 loss to Inter. As Monza will go for a win in Sunday’s encounter as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. As for the visiting team, Birindelli is banned for the match, while both Caprari and Di Gregorio are sidelined with injuries. Midfielder Jose Machin is representing Equatorial Guinea at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Salernitana will be looking to bounce back from consecutive losses against Juventus and Napoli as they take on Genoa in the Serie A on Sunday. The Granata are battling hard to secure their survival in the top flight and despite their recent results, their performances have shown promise. However, Salernitana has conceded late goals in their last two league matches, which is a cause for concern. Nevertheless, playing at home gives them an advantage and increases the likelihood of a victory.

Unfortunately, Salernitana will be without Lassana Coulibaly and Jovane Cabral due to international duty, while Lorenzo Pirola, Grigoris Kastanos, and Boulaye Dia are expected to miss out due to injuries. On the other hand, Genoa has struggled when playing away from home, making the home side the favored option for betting. Caleb Ekuban will be unavailable due to injury, and Morten Thorsby is uncertain as he will be assessed before the match. In summary, Salernitana will be determined to turn their fortunes around and secure a much-needed win in their battle for survival. With the backing of their home crowd, they have a good opportunity to claim victory against a Genoa side that has struggled on their travels.

Juventus will look to extend their winning run to four games when they face Lecce at Stadio Via del Mare. The Bianconeri aim to melt Inter’s advantage and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Giallorossi. Both Weston McKennie and Federico Gatti are back from suspension, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the visiting team. Nicolo Fagioli and Paul Pogba remain on the sidelines through suspension.

Lecce, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league matches. Given Juve’s fine form at the start of 2024, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the title-chasing visitors. All Hamza Rafia, Ahmed Touba, and Lameck Banda are on international duty, while both Nicola Sansone and Kastriot Dermaku remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Following an embarrassing 1-0 loss to Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich will look to get back on course when they take on Union Berlin in a postponed Bundesliga game. The mighty Bavarians are seven points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the standings, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for Harry Kane and Co. Both Thomas Muller and Leon Goretzka are pushing for a start, while both Kim Min-Jae and Noussair Mazraoui are on international duty.

The capital club, on the other hand, are still sitting in the danger zone, but their display in a goalless draw with Freiburg is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Bayern Munich will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the national championship. As for the away side, Aissa Laidouni is representing Tunisia at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Rani Khedira remains in the recovery room

Almeria will be looking to recover from an unfortunate defeat against Real Madrid when they face Alaves. Despite only having six points, Almeria's performances have been better than their results indicate. However, they will be without key players Marciano Sanca, Houboulang Mendes, and Iddrisu Baba due to international duty, while Largie Ramazani is suspended for accumulating yellow cards. Manager Gaizka Garitano will have to watch the game from the stands after being sent off in the previous match at the Santiago Bernabeu.

On the other hand, Alaves have had impressive performances in January, defeating Sevilla and Cadiz, and drawing with Real Sociedad. However, Almeria is more determined to secure a victory in this match, as they are currently in danger of relegation. We predict that the home team will come out on top and earn all three points in Friday's match. As for Alaves, they will be missing Abdel Abqar and Jesus Owono due to international duty, while Aleksandar Sedlar continues to be sidelined with an injury.

Friday’s football game between Cagliari and Torino will open round 22 of the 2023/2024 Bundesliga campaign.

Both Shomourodov and Mancosu are major doubts, while Rog and Oristanio remain in the recovery room. Zito Luvumbo is representing Angola at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Torino, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Fiorentina, beating Napoli, while sharing the spoils with Genoa. As Il Toro failed to take a shot on target in the goalless draw with Genovese, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Nemanja Radonjic is a major doubt, while defender Perr Schuurs is out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury.

After securing a 2-2 draw against Darmstadt, Eintracht Frankfurt is eager to get back to their winning ways in the Bundesliga as they go up against Mainz in their 19th matchday.

However, Eintracht Frankfurt will have to navigate the match without the services of Fares Chaibi, Ellyes Skhiri, and Omar Marmoush, who are on international duty. Additionally, Sasa Kalajdic and Mehdi Loune are sidelined due to injuries.

As for Mainz, they enter Friday's clash following a 1-1 draw with Wolfsburg. However, die Nullfunfer have struggled in the national championship, currently enduring a seven-game winless run. This faltering form is a significant factor that entices us to place our bet on Eintracht Frankfurt. While Mainz will be missing Jae-Sung Lee, representing South Korea at the 2024 Asian Cup, their midfielder Nelson Weiper remains on the sidelines due to a knee injury.

All eyes will be on Parc Olympique Lyonnais when Lyon and Rennes take on each other in the round 19 opener. Les Gones are having a season to forget, but a 2-1 win over Bergerac in the Coupe de France surely gave them a confidence boost. Both Ernest Nuamah and Mama Balde are on international duty, while defender Duje Caleta-Car misses out through suspension.

Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, survived Olympique Marseille in the French Cup last 32 at the weekend and given their four-game winning run in all competitions, away triumph should definitely be considered. Even though Warmed Omari serves a one-game ban, we are tempted to place our bets on the in-form visitors. Midfielder Christopher Wooh is on international duty, while both Nemanja Matic and Amine Gouiri are sidelined with injuries. Earlier tis term Lyon defeated Rennes 1-0, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.

Mikel Merino serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

Los Vallecanos, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Las Palmas, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Real Socieadad.

Despite being considered the underdog, Las Palmas has the potential to make life difficult for their opponents.

Unfortunately, Las Palmas will be without the services of Julian Araujo due to suspension, while Omenuke Mfulu and Saul Coco are away on international duty.On the other hand, Real Madrid narrowly secured a 3-2 victory over Almeria in their previous league game, thanks to a late winning goal from Dani Carvajal. Taking into consideration Las Palmas' strong home record, we believe that bettors worldwide could find value in placing bets on a draw in this encounter. Real Madrid will also face some challenges as key midfielder Jude Bellingham is suspended, and David Alaba, Eder Militao, and Thibaut Courtois are still recovering from their respective injuries.

Both Andreas Christensen and Joao Cancelo should be fit for the match.

Villarreal, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Mallorca and given their three-game winless run in the national championship, home win should be considered. Aissa Mendi is representing Algeria at the Africa Cup of Nations, while goalkeeper Pepe Reina is banned for the match.

Eager to resume their winning streak in the Primera Division, Mallorca look promising for a victory, especially now that Vedat Muriqi has overcome his injury. A home win seems increasingly likely in light of these positive developments.

The Andalusians, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-2 loss to Barcelona, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Mallorca.

Both Rodrigo de Paul and Samuel Lino should be recalled to the starting XI, while Reinildo Mandava is still on the international duty.

Los Che, meanwhile, defeated Athletic Bilbao 1-0 to extend their winning run to four games. Valencia, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Atletico’s party in Madrid. In their last meeting at the venue Atletico Madrid recorded a routine win over Valencia, who will be without Selim Amallah and Mouctar Diakhaby in Sunday’s encounter.

However, it should be noted that Jose Angel Carmona, Luis Milla, and Damian Suarez will be unable to participate in the match due to their bans.

In contrast, Granada has struggled in their previous five league matches, suffering four defeats. They are not known for their strong performances away from home, making it unlikely that they will spoil Getafe's party in Madrid.

Boosted by a resounding 5-0 victory over Frosinone, Atalanta will have their sights set on securing a Champions League spot as they face Udinese in another home encounter. The team from Bergamo is eager to extend their winning streak to five games at their home ground while maintaining their trademark attacking style of play. However, Atalanta will face some challenges as Ademola Lookman is currently away on international duty with Nigeria, and there are concerns regarding the availability of Rafael Toloi and Jose Luis Palomino. Additionally, defender Hans Hateboer continues to be sidelined due to a muscle injury.

On the other hand, Udinese's performance in a 3-2 defeat against AC Milan was far from impressive, further giving us reason to believe that Atalanta is the favored team in this matchup. Florian Thauvin has earned his place in the starting lineup with impressive goal-scoring performances in two consecutive games. Unfortunately for Udinese, players such as all Semedo, Brenner, Ebosse, Pafundi, Zemura, Bijol, and Delofeu remain sidelined due to injury and will not be available for selection.

Prediction: 3-0 (Atalanta)

Buoyed by a thrilling 3-0 win over Lecce, Juventus will look to retain top position in the standings when they take on Empoli on Saturday afternoon. “The Old Lady” are determined to regain Scudetto, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to turn the dream into reality. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Serbia striker Dusan Vlahovic, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late, while Mattia De Sciglio remains in the recovery room. All Federico Chiesa, Moises Kean, and Adrien Rabiot are major doubts.

The Azzurri, on the other hand, are fighting tooth and nail to secure yet another Serie A survival. Empoli aim to build on a 3-0 win over Monza, but given their four-game winless run on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Juve. The likes of Pezzella, Bastoni, and Ebuehi continue to miss out with injuries for the away team. In the first half of the season Juventus defeated Empoli 2-0 at Stadio Carlo Castellani.

Prediction: 2-0 (Juventus)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

After surviving Udinese at Stadio Friuli, Milan will be aiming to extend their winning run in the Serie A to five games when they take on Bologna in the closing match of Saturday’s program. The Rosssoneri look unstoppable at the moment and, as a result, the odds for home win are dropping. Both Bennacer and Chukwueze are on international duty, while all Fikayo Tomori, Tommaso Pobega, Pierre Kalulu, and Malick Thiaw remain in the recovery room. Fit-again forward Noah Okafor should start from the bench once again despite scoring a late winner against the Zebrette.

The Rossoblu, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their three-game winless run in the Italian top flight, home win should be considered. Former Anderlecht forward Joshua Zirkzee is back from suspension, while Oussama El Azzouzi is representing Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Prediction: 2-0 (Milan)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Riding high on a 2-1 victory against Salernitana, Genoa will seek to provide their supporters with another reason to rejoice as they face Lecce in the 22nd round of Serie A. The Rossoblu have established themselves as a formidable force when playing on their home turf, but they will need to demonstrate their capabilities on the field once again. Defender Koni De Winter returns to the squad following a suspension, while Bohinen, Messias, Haps, and Martin remain sidelined due to injuries.

On the contrary, the Giallorossi have experienced a downturn in form, managing to accumulate only a single point from their last five league matches. Lecce encountered various defensive issues in a 3-0 defeat against Juventus, and given their struggles in front of goal, it seems advantageous to bet on the home team. As for the away side, Banda, Rafia, and Touba are away on international duty, while defender Kastriot Dermaku's fitness for Sunday's clash remains uncertain and could be a race against time.

Prediction: 2-1 (Genoa)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Brianteo will host Sunday’s football game between Monza and Sassuolo, the two teams who were beaten by Empoli and Juventus in their last league fixtures. The Biancorossi have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding ten goals in total in the last three league fixtures and that is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered.

The good news for the hosts is that defender Samuele Birindelli is back from suspension, while midfielder Jose Machin is on international duty with Equatorial Guinea. The Neroverdi, on the other hand, are eager to escape the danger zone. As Domenico Berardi and Co. will go for a win in Sunday’s encounter as well, we are tempted to bet on both teams to score. As for the away side, all Racic, Toljan, Defrel, Vina, and Obiang are major doubts and they will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

Prediction: 2-2

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Verona will be looking to escape the relegation zone when they welcome Frosinone to their Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi on Sunday. The Mastini failed to spoil Roma’s party at Stadio Olimpico at the weekend, but their display in the second half is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Frosinone. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, while both Ondrej Duda and Diego Coppola are back from suspension.

The Canarini, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Cagliari and they managed to get one, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards in “the City of Love” as Verona are tough to beat at home. The likes of Ilario Monterisi, Anthony Oyono, Riccardo Marchizza, and Sergio Kalaj should miss out with injuries for the visiting team, while Jaime Baez is a major doubt.

Prediction: 1-1

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Stadio Olimpico is set to host a thrilling Serie A encounter between Lazio and Napoli, two of the league's top teams. Lazio comes into this match on a four-game winning streak in the league, although they suffered a 0-3 loss to Inter in the Super Cup. Luis Alberto is expected to make a return to the starting lineup, but both Ciro Immobile and Mattia Zaccagni will be unavailable due to suspension. Pedro is likely to lead the attack in Immobile's absence.

Meanwhile, Napoli faced a heartbreaking defeat in the Super Cup final against Inter, with the winning goal coming in stoppage time courtesy of Lautaro Martinez. With Victor Osimhen away on international duty, Napoli will be without a key attacker. As a result, Lazio appears to be the favorable choice this time around. Zambo Anguissa is also unavailable due to international duty, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is suspended. Additionally, Jens Cajuste is banned, and both Alex Meret and Natan Souza are sidelined with injuries.

Prediction: 1-0 (Lazio)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

The spotlight will shine on Stadio Artemio Franchi as Fiorentina and Inter prepare for a much-anticipated Serie A clash. The Viola aim to recover from the heavy Italian Super Cup loss (0-3) to Napoli, but they will have a mountain to climb in Sunday’s showdown. Angola forward M’Bala Nzola is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while Christian Kouame is still on international duty. Cristiano Biraghi serves a one-game ban, while both Dodo and Gaetano Castrovilli remain on the sidelines with injuries.

The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, are high on confidence following the Super Cup triumph and they surely want to stay in the Scudetto race. Even with the absence of Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolo Barella due to suspensions, Inter's strong team cohesion sets them apart from Fiorentina. Given this advantage, an away win is worth considering. Juan Cuadrado remains in the recovery room with an Achilles tendon problem. In their last meeting at the venue Inter recorded a thrilling 4-3 win over Fiorentina.

Prediction: 1-2 (Inter)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Monday’s football game between Salernitana and Roma will bring down the curtain on the Serie A round 22. I Granata suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches and, as a result, the odds for away win are dropping. Fit-again forward Grigoris Kastanos is pushing for a start, while both Lassana Coulibaly and Jovane Cabral are on international duty. The likes of Federico Fazio, Lorenzo Pirola, and Boulaye Dia continue to miss out with injuries.

The Romans, on the other hand, continue life without Jose Mourinho, with the team beating Verona 2-1 on Daniele De Rossi’s debut as the new boss. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Salernitana do not seem to be at their sharpest. As for the away team, all Ndicka, Azmoun, and Aouar are on international duty, while Rasmus Kristensen should sneak into the starting XI as Leonardo Spinazzola limped off with injury at the weekend.

Prediction: 0-1 (AS Roma)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Augsburg and Bayern Munich are set to face off in an exciting Bavarian derby at WWK Arena. Augsburg recently bounced back from a loss against Bayer Leverkusen by defeating Borussia M'gladbach away from home. However, they face a tough challenge against the formidable Bayern Munich team, led by star player Harry Kane. Augsburg midfielder Niklas Dorsch, who was suspended, is back but is doubtful for the upcoming match due to a groin injury. Defender Raphael Framberger continues to be sidelined with an ACL injury.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich's coach Thomas Tuchel is under significant pressure after the team's embarrassing loss to Werder Bremen. The German giants are determined to put pressure on league leaders Bayer Leverkusen and have a strong record of three consecutive wins against Augsburg. However, they will be without Noussair Mazraoui and Min-Jae Kim who are on international duty, and both Serge Gnabry and Bouna Sarr who are recovering from injuries. With these factors in mind, a Bayern Munich victory away from home seems likely.

Prediction: 3-1 (Bayern Munich)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Hoffenheim will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Bayern Munich and Freiburg when they take on Heidenheim in the Bundesliga round 19. Hoffenheim made a slow start to 2024, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course in the national championship. Denmark forward Robert Skov is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while defender Ozan Kabak serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

Heidenheim, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous five league matches and that is the main reason why they are going to grab something from Saturday’s encounter. Both Thomas Keller and Elidon Qenaj are sidelined with injuries, while Christian Kuhlwetter should miss out through illness (stomach disorder). In the first half of the season Hoffenheim defeated Heidenheim 3-2 and yet another high-scoring affair is on the cards.

Prediction: 2-2

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

In Saturday's football match at MHPArena, Stuttgart will face Leipzig, both teams coming from defeats against Bochum and Bayer Leverkusen respectively. Stuttgart, eager to maintain their Champions League position, will face the match with a depleted squad. Serhou Guirassy, Silas Katompa Mvumpa, Woo-yeong Jeong, and Hiroki Ito are on international duty, while Atakan Karazor is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards. Additionally, Nikolas Nartey and Lilian Egloff will be absent due to injuries.

Leipzig, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back from their 3-2 loss against Leverkusen. Given the number of absent players in the home team, we predict that Openda and his teammates will secure all three points from the match. Xavi Simons is suspended, Amadou Haidara is on international duty, and Willi Orban remains sidelined with a knee injury.

Prediction: 1-2 (Leipzig)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Buoyed by a thrilling 1-0 win over star-studded Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Freiburg on Matchday 19. Die Werderaner are undefeated in the previous five league matches and they must be brimming with confidence ahead of Saturday’s clash. Both Marvin Ducksch and Leonardo Bittencourt are back from suspension, while Naby Keita is on international duty. All Nick Woltemade, Milos Veljkovic, Amos Pieper, and Leon Opitz are injured for the home team.

Christian Streich’s team, on the other hand, aim to climb to the Conference League berth, but beating the in-form Werderaner at Weserstadion is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Manuel Gulde is banned for the match, while Ritsu Doan is representing Japan at the Asian Cup. The likes of Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Christian Gunter, Max Rosenfelder, Kenneth Schmidt, and Philipp Lienhart remain in the recovery room.

Prediction: 1-1

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Wolfsburg will be aiming to put an end to their three-game winless run in all competitions when they take on Koln in the Bundesliga round 19. The Wolves failed to impress in a 1-1 draw with Heidenheim, but they are surely capable of beating the Billy Goats in front of home fans. All Ridle Baku, Lovro Majer, Patrick Wimmer, and Lukas Nmecha remain in the treatment room.

Koln, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund and given Wolfsburg’s fine home record, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from Saturday’s clash. As for the visiting team, all Davie Selke, Luca Waldschmidt, and Mark Uth continue to miss out with injuries. Given Wolfsburg's earlier success with a 2-1 victory against Koln in the first half of the season, it strengthens our confidence in placing bets on the home team once again.

Prediction: 1-0 (Wolfsburg)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Bayer Leverkusen will look to build on a hard-fought 3-2 win over Leipzig when they take on Borussia M’gladbach on Saturday afternoon. Xabi Alonso’s men are on the right track to win the Bundesliga trophy, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to put an end to Bayern Munich’s dominance in the German top flight. All Edmond Tapsoba, Odilon Kossounou, and Amine Adli are on international duty, while Jonathan Tah misses out through suspension. In Victor Boniface’s absence, Czech Republic international Patrik Schick will keep his place up front.

Die Fohlen, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Augsburg, which is yet another reason why we are going to put our money on the league leaders. As for the visiting team, Ko Itakura is on international duty, while all Rocco Reitz, Tomas Cvancara, Maximilian Wober, Lukas Ullrich, Hannes Wolf, and Jonas Omlin are sidelined with injuries.

Prediction: 2-1 (Bayer Leverkusen)

After a goalless draw against Freiburg, Union Berlin is determined to secure their first victory of the year in the upcoming Sunday afternoon clash with Darmstadt. The capital club is keen to climb out of the danger zone and is expected to launch an aggressive offensive against the Lilywhites. Aissa Laidouni is currently representing Tunisia at the Africa Cup of Nations, and the absence of defender Josip Juranovic adds to the team's challenges, joining midfielder Rani Khedira in the recovery room. Meanwhile, Darmstadt finds themselves at the bottom with only 11 points to their name. The struggling team has suffered five defeats on the road this season, and it seems unlikely that they can disrupt Union Berlin's celebration at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei. Players such as Matej Maglica, Aaron Seydel, Marvin Mehlem, Fraser Hornby, and Braydon Manu continue to be sidelined due to injuries for the visiting team.

Prediction: 1-0 (Union Berlin)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sunday’s football game between Borussia Dortmund and Bochum will bring down the curtain on the Bundesliga round 19. The Yellow-Blacks kicked off 2024 in great manner, with the team beating both Darmstadt (3-0) and Koln (4-0) and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Bochum. Both Ramy Bensebaini and Sebastien Haller are on international duty, while the likes of Niklas Sule, Emre Can, Karim Adeyemi, Julian Ryerson, Julien Duranville, and Felix Nmecha remain in the recovery room.

Bochum, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Stuttgart. As die Blauen were hammered by both Hoffenheim (1-3) and Bayer Leverkusen (0-4) in the last two away games, we are tempted to place our bets on the in-form hosts. Takuma Asano is on international duty with Japan, while Bochum defender Bernardo is banned due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

Prediction: 3-1 (Borussia Dortmund)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Buoyed by the Coupe de France win over Bordeaux, Nice will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Metz in the Ligue 1 round 19. Les Aiglons are on a five-game winning run at home and, as a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash. All Youcef Atal, Hichem Boudaoui, and Jeremie Boga are on international duty, while both Romain Perraud and Sofiane Diop miss out through injuries.

Les Grenats, on the other hand, are on a six-game losing run in all competitions, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Nice, who have turned their Allianz Riviera into a real fortress. All Ablie Jallow, Lamine Camara, Fali Cande, and Kevin Van Den Kerkhof are on international duty, while defender Christophe Herelle is sidelined through suspension.

Prediction: 2-0 (Nice)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sparkles will be flying when Olympique Marseille and Monaco lock horns at Stade Velodrome in the Ligue 1 derby. OM aim to move closer to the Champions League berth and we predict that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s showdown. Both Michael Murillo and Bilal Nadir limped off with injuries in the Coupe de France loss to Rennes, with Luis Henrique and Ulisses Garcia likely to step up, while Samuel Gigot misses out through suspension. As all Mbemba, Ounahi, Harit, Ndiaye, Sarr, Gueye, and Ngapandouetnbu are on international duty, home win should not be considered.

Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, did well to beat Rodez 3-1 in the French Cup last 32 and given the number of absentees in the home team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Adi Hutter’s troops. Keep in mind, though, that the likes of Camara, Minamino, Diatta, Jakobs, Salisu, and Singo are on international duty.

Prediction: 1-2 (Monaco)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Stade de la Mosson will host Sunday’s football game between Montpellier and Lille. La Paillade aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Brest, with the team eyeing their first home win since October 29, 2023. Montpellier, though, head into the match with a severely-weakened squad, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. All Tchato, Sylla, Bertaud, Al Tamari, Sacko, and Kouyate are on international duty, while both Joris Chotard and Christopher Mincarelli are sidelined through suspension.

Les Dogues, on the other hand, survived Racing CFF in the Coupe de France last 32 at the weekend and given their excellent performance in a 3-0 win over Lille, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. Turkey midfielder Yusuf Yazici returns to the starting XI, while both Adam Ounas and Nabil Bentaleb are still on international duty.

Prediction: 0-1 (Lille)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sunday’s football game at Stade Gabriel Montpied pits together Clermont and Strasbourg, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Clermont aim to build on a 2-1 win over Nantes and a triumph over Strasbourg should see them escape the relegation zone. Maximiliano Caufriez is back from suspension, while all Mory Diaw, Alidu Seidu, and Jeremie Bela are on international duty.

Le Racing, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning three of their last four league matches, while holding Marseille to a draw at Stade Velodrome. Clermont want this win more than Strasbourg, but given Le Racing’s fine form, the share of spoils is on the cards at “Gabriel Montpied”. As for the away team, Saidou Sow is on international duty, while both Jeremy Sebas and Lebo Mothiba remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Prediction: 1-1

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Out-of-form Lorient will look to put an end to their four-game losing run in Ligue 1 when they take on Le Havre on Matchday 19. Les Merlus experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back losses to Brest (0-4) and Lille (0-3) and given the number of absentees in Regis Le Bris’ team, home win should not be considered. All Darline Yongwa, Gedeon Kalulu, Alfred Gomis, Bamba Dieng, Sirine Doucoure, Montassar Talbi, and Formose Mendy are on international duty, while Tiemoue Bakayoko is banned for the match.

To make things even worse for the home team, all Benjamin Mendy, Vincent Le Goff, Romain Faivre, Julien Laporte, and Quentin Boisgard are sidelined with injuries. Despite the absence of key players Rassoul Ndiaye, Andre Ayew, Abdoulaye Toure, and Mohamed Bayo, the visitors boast a commendable three-game winning streak in all competitions. Considering this form, an away triumph should be taken into consideration.

Prediction: 0-1 (Le Havre)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Reims will look to recover from the Coupe de France defeat to Sochaux when they take on Nantes in the Ligue 1 round 19. Les Rouges et Blancs aim to build on back-to-back wins over Le Havre and Monaco and they are seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s encounter. Even though all Oumar Diakite, Ibrahim Diakite, Amir Richardson, Yunis Abdelhamid, Junya Ito, and Keito Nakamura are on international duty, home win should be considered.

Les Canaris, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their four-match losing run in the national championship, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Sunday’s showdown. As for the away team, all Simon, Mohamed, Moutoussamy, and Castelletto are on international duty, while forward Benie Adama Traore misses the match through suspension. To make things even worse for the away team, both Bastien Meupiyou and Ignatius Ganago are out of contention through injuries.

Prediction: 2-1 (Reims)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Stadium Municipal will host Sunday’s football game between Toulouse and Lens, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the season finale. Toulouse’s main goal is to secure yet another Ligue 1 survival, while Lens are eyeing a spot in European competitions. As Les Pitchouns experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the Coupe de France loss to Rouen, we are not tempted to put our money on the home side. All Logan Costa, Moussa Diarra, and Frank Magri are on international duty, while the likes of Denis Genreau, Mikkel Desler, and Zakaria Aboukhlal miss out with injuries.

Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, suffered a 2-0 loss to PSG in the Ligue 1 derby, but it has to be noted that they fought well with ten men on the field. Jonathan Gradit is banned for Sunday’s match following his sending-off against les Parisiens, while the likes of Samed, Mendy, Khusanov, Cortes, and Gilavogui are on international duty. Given the number of absentees in the away team, there is a big value in betting on draw.

Prediction: 1-1

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

The Ligue 1 round 19 will come to a close with Sunday's football game between PSG and Brest. The Parisians easily won their Coupe de France match against Orleans (4-1) and now hope to extend their winning streak in all competitions to six games. Kylian Mbappe, who scored two goals over the weekend, will be one to keep an eye on for the home team. Achraf Hakimi and Kang-in Lee are still away on international duty, while Kimpembe, Mendes, Rico, and Skriniar are still recovering from injuries.

Brest, on the other hand, faces a tough challenge at Parc des Princes, as they have lost 14 consecutive games against PSG. It would be a major surprise if they manage anything other than a routine home win. Midfielder Kamory Doumbia is on international duty for the away team, and defensive players Adrien Lebeau and Jordan Amavi are still in recovery.

Prediction: 2-0 (PSG)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Cadiz

Cadiz has been concentrating on La Liga for a long time, but this does not bring the necessary bonuses to the southerners. Cadiz lost its last three matches, and won the last time on November 16, and then in a friendly match against a little-known club. It is not surprising that before the start of the reporting round, Cadiz ranks only in 18th place, i.e. position in the departure area. True, the gap from Sevilla, located in the saving 17th place, is only one point. Cadiz's home statistics are 15th in the division, +2=5-3, 9:13 goal difference.

Athletic

The participation of Ruiz, Berenguer and Garcia in the upcoming game is questionable, all other players are in the ranks. After losing to Valencia in the national championship, the Basques knocked Barcelona out of the Spanish Cup, achieving victory in extra time. Before the start of the 22nd round, Athletic is in fifth place in the championship standings, has 41 points, the same as Atlético, but the capital team is ahead of the Basques in secondary indicators. The Basques' away statistics are also fifth in the division, +4=3-3, 11:9 goal difference

Nottingham Forest and Arsenal face each other at the City Ground in the opening match of the Premier League round 22. The Reds head into Tuesday’s match following a goalless FA Cup draw with Bristol City, but preventing Arsenal attackers from finding the net is easier said than done. Fit-again midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is pushing for a start, while all Moussa Niakhate, Ibrahim Sangare, Cheikhou Kouyate, Ola ro, Serge Aurier, and Willy Boly are on international duty. To make things even worse for the home side, former Man Utd man Anthony Elanga is sidelined with injury.

The Gunners, on the other hand, rolled over Crystal Palace 5-0 in their last league match to keep their title hopes alive. Given the number of absentees in the home team, anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. The midweek clash comes too early for Mohamed Elneny, who represented Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations, while both Gabriel and Declan Rice should be fit for the match. Takehiro Tomiyasu is on international duty as well.

Prediction: 0-2  (Arsenal)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Having suffered a loss to Newcastle United in the FA Cup, Fulham will be eager to bounce back when they face Everton in the 22nd round of the Premier League. It's worth noting that Fulham tends to perform better at home, as evidenced by their four victories in the last five games at Craven Cottage. However, they will be without the services of Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, and Fode Ballo, who are all still on international duty. Additionally, there is uncertainty surrounding the availability of Harry Wilson, as he sustained an injury in the FA Cup defeat and is considered a major doubt.

Meanwhile, Everton's recent form has been less than impressive, particularly their FA Cup loss to Luton Town. Furthermore, they have failed to score in their last two league matches. Considering these factors, it seems that there is significant value in betting on the home side. On the injury front, Abdoulaye Doucoure is sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Idrissa Gana Gueye is unavailable due to international duty.

Prediction: 2-1  (Fulham)

Kenilworth Road will host Tuesday’s Premier League game between Luton Town and Brighton, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Hatters are eager to escape the relegation zone and their display in the FA Cup win over Everton is fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the midweek clash. Issa Kabore is on international duty, Marvelous Nakamba misses out with injury, while Mads Juel Andersen is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

The Seagulls, on the other hand, rolled over Sheffield United 5-2 in the FA Cup last 32 and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. As Luton are capable of finding the net in front of home fans, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Ansu Fati is rated doubtful for the match, while both Simon Adingra and Kaoru Mitoma are on international duty.

Prediction: 2-2 (draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Crystal Palace will be looking to rectify their embarrassing 5-0 defeat to Arsenal when they face Sheffield United in the 22nd round of the Premier League. This presents a perfect opportunity for the Eagles to return to winning ways, but they must prove their worth on the pitch. Unfortunately, Joel Ward, Rob Holding, Michael Olise, and Cheick Doucoure are all sidelined with injuries, while Jordan Ayew is expected to make an appearance after returning from international duty.

On the other side, Sheffield United faced numerous defensive issues in their 5-2 loss to Brighton in the FA Cup. This could be a decisive factor in favor of Crystal Palace securing a home victory. Sheffield United's forward, Rhian Brewster, is unavailable due to suspension, and John Egan will also miss the match due to injury. Additionally, Tom Davies's participation is uncertain, as he will undergo an assessment before kick-off.

Prediction: 2-1 (Crystal Palace)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Aston Villa and Newcastle United square off against each other at Villa Park in a highly-anticipated Premier League game. The Villans have been impressive at the back of late, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet in all competitions and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Tuesday’s clash. Leon Bailey is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the FA Cup draw with Chelsea, while fellow winger Bertand Traore is still on international duty. Both Lucas Digne and Jacob Ramsey are major doubts, while both Emiliano Buendia and Jhon Duran miss out with injuries.

The Magpies, on the other hand, did well to eliminate Fulham in the FA Cup last 32, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Aston Villa and Newcastle United seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The good news for the visiting side is that Miguel Almiron has overcome his injury, but all Joelinton, Callum Wilson, Nick Pope, Harvey Barnes, Matthew Targett, and Javier Manqullo remain in the recovery room.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Manchester City and Burnley square off against each other at Etihad Stadium in a David-vs-Goliath clash. The Citizens are eyeing their eighth consecutive win in all competitions and they must be high on confidence following a hard-fought FA Cup triumph over Tottenham. Kevin De Bruyne is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while fit-again top scorer Erling Haland should come as a substitute. Defender Manuel Akanji is a major doubt.

The Clarets, on the other hand, are on a four-game winless run and they face an uphill task in Wednesday’s clash. As Man City have found their form in January, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting at Etihad Stadium Man City hammered Burnley 6-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Midfielder Luca Koleosho should be the only absentee in the away team.

Prediction: 4-0 (Man City)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Excitement will be in the air as Tottenham and Brentford go head-to-head in a highly anticipated London derby on Wednesday evening. Tottenham will be looking to bounce back after their defeat to Man City in the FA Cup, although they will be missing the influential presence of Heung-Min Son, who is currently on international duty with South Korea. Both Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr are also unavailable as they represent their countries in the Africa Cup of Nations. However, the return of midfielder James Maddison from injury brings hope, although Spurs will have to make do without Giovani Lo Celso and Ivan Perisic, who are sidelined with injuries.

On the other side, Brentford comes into the match on the back of a 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest, a game that marked Ivan Toney's return from suspension. Toney's presence will undoubtedly pose a challenge for Tottenham's defense, and given Brentford's attacking potential, both teams should be considered when considering a bet on scoring options. As for Brentford's away team, Saman Ghoddos, Ji-soo Kim, Frank Onyeka, and Yoane Wissa are absent due to international duty while Bryan Mbeumo, Aaron Hickey, Kevin Schade, and Christian Norgaard will miss out due to injuries.

Prediction: 2-2 (draw)

Anfield will be the centre of attention when Liverpool and Chelsea go head to head in the Premier League derby on Matchday 22. The Reds aim to build on a 5-2 FA Cup win over Norwich City and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minted approach against Mauro Pochettino’s troops. Virgil van Dijk is widely expected to return to the starting XI as well as fellow defender Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold, while Mohamed Salah remains in the recovery room. Wataru Endo is still on international duty with Japan.

The Blues, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Aston Villa at the weekend. Chelsea aim to move closer to the Europa League berth, but given Liverpool’s three-game winning run in the Premier League, home victory should be considered. Nicolas Jackson is representing Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations, while all Christopher Nkunku, Marc Cucurella, Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, and Robert Sanchez remain in the recovery room.

After a routine 2-0 victory over Valencia, Atletico Madrid will aim to stay in the title race as they face Rayo Vallecano in the local derby. With a ten-point gap behind second-place Real Madrid, this match is crucial for the hosts. Alvaro Morata is likely to return to the starting lineup, while Cesar Azpilicueta and Thomas Lemar are still recovering from injuries.

Meanwhile, Rayo Vallecano has struggled to score in their last two league matches. With Atletico Madrid's strong home record at the Wanda Metropolitano, it's unlikely that the underdogs will get a result in the Madrid derby. Bebe and Pathe Ciss are on international duty, and Alvaro Garcia is back from suspension. However, Unai Lopez is serving a one-game ban for this match.

Prediction: 1-0 (Atletico Madrid)

There will be fireworks when Getafe and Real Madrid square off against each other at Estadio Coliseum Alfonso Perez in the local derby. Los Azulones aim to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Osasuna and you should know that they are after their sixth home win of the process. Both Juanmi Latasa and Jaime Mata are back from suspension, while all Damian Suarez, Luis Milla, and Jose Angel Carmona are banned for the match. As Ilaix Moriba is representing Guinea at the Africa Cup of Nations, home win should not be considered.

Los Blancos, on the other hand, are in a two-horse race with Girona. Real Madrid are more of a team than Getafe and given the number of absentees in the home side, we are tempted to put our money on Carlo Ancelotti’s troops, who came from behind to beat Las Palmas at the weekend. The good news for the visitors is that key player Jude Belingham is back from suspension, while all David Alaba, Eder Militao, and Thibaut Courtois remain in the treatment room.

Prediction: 0-2 (Real Madrid)

After securing a 4-2 victory against Newport County in the FA Cup fourth round, Manchester United will be aiming to continue their winning streak as they face Wolverhampton in the 22nd round of the Premier League. Despite a challenging season, this match could be a turning point for Erik ten Hag's team. Marcus Rashford and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are expected to be available for the game, while Sofyane Amrabat is still on international duty. However, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof, and Anthony Martial are still recovering from injuries.

On the other hand, Wolverhampton will be missing Hee-Chan Hwang, Boubacar Traore, Rayan Ait Nouri, and Justin Hubner due to international duty, and Joao Gomes is suspended. This sets the stage for the visitors to potentially secure a win in the midweek clash. It's worth noting that Manchester United are aiming for their fourth consecutive victory over Wolverhampton in the Premier League.

London Stadium will host Thursday’s Premier League game between West Ham United and Bournemouth. The Hammers suffered elimination in the FA Cup round 3 and, as a result, they will be fully focused on the national championship in the remainder of the season. Both Mohammed Kudus and Nayef Aguerd are on international duty, while Said Benrahma and Vladimir Coufal are banned for the match. As both Michail Antonio and Lucas Paqueta miss out with injuries, home win should not be considered.

The Cherries, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a thrilling 5-0 FA Cup win over Swansea City and given the number of absentees in the home team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the in-form visitors. Dango Ouattara is representing Burkina Faso at the Africa Cup of Nations, while the likes of Adam Smith, Hamed Junior Traore, Darren Randolph, and Ryan Fredericks miss out with injuries.

Prediction: 0-1 (Bournemouth)

Barcelona will be aiming to make amends for a shocking 5-3 loss to Villarreal when they take on Osasuna on Matchday 20. Barca are not having a season to remember and, as things stand now, they are unlikely to regain the domestic trophy. Head coach Xavi has announced Barcelona exit following the Villarreal loss and, no doubt, the players are in a very difficult situation ahead of the postponed clash. Pedri is set to return to the starting XI as well as Joao Cancelo, while the likes of Raphinha, Gavi, Marcos Alonso, and Sergi Roberto miss out with injuries.

Los Rojillos, on the other hand, are eager to get their revenge on the Catalans for the Super Cup defeat and given Barca’s shaky defence, both teams to score betting option should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Catalonia.

Prediction: 2-2 (draw)

The 23rd round of La Liga kicks off with a match between Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca on Friday. Despite their recent goalless draw with Cadiz, Athletic Bilbao is still considered the favorites to win against Mallorca at their home ground, San Mames. The speedy winger Nico Williams is expected to make a return to the starting lineup after Adu Ares suffered an injury over the weekend. Fortunately, there are no other new injury concerns for the Basque team.

Mallorca, on the other hand, will look to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to Real Betis. However, considering their struggles away from home, it is predicted that Athletic Bilbao will secure all three points from the match. Samu Costa is a major doubt for Mallorca after picking up an injury in their last league game, while striker Vedat Muriqi, who has recovered from injury, is likely to be included in the starting lineup. Unfortunately, Pablo Maffeo remains sidelined with a knee injury.

Prediction: 2-0 (Athletic Bilbao)

Friday’s football game between Lecce and Fiorentina will open round 23 of the new Serie A campaign. The Giallorossi aim to put an end to their three-game losing run and they are surely capable of matching the out-of-sorts visitors on home soil. Defender Kastriot Dermaku is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.

The Viola, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their form in 2024, with the team losing to both Sassuolo and Inter, while sharing the spoils with Udinese. As Lecce are tough to beat at home, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing more than one point from the match. Cristiano Biraghi is back from suspension, while Christian Kouame is still on international duty. Both Dodo and Gaetano Castrovilli miss out with injuries.

Prediction:  1-1 (draw)

Borussia Dortmund will be aiming to extend their winning run in Bundesliga to four games when they take on Heidenheim on Friday evening. The Yellow-Blacks have found their best form in January and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Niclas Fullkrug, who scored a hat-trick in a 3-1 win over Bochum at the weekend, while all Marco Reus, Sebastian Haller, Julian Ryerson, Felix Nmecha, and Julien Duranville remain in the recovery room.

Julian Brandt is a major doubt. Heidenheim, on the other hand, are on the right track to secure the top flight survival as they are sitting in 10th place in the standings ahead of Matchday 20. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Borussia Dortmund have been showing signs of improvement of late. The likes of Benedikt Gimber, Thomas Keller, and Elidon Qenaj are sidelined with injuries for the home team.

Prediction:  1-3 (Borussia Dortmund)

PSG will be hoping to get back on track after dropping points in a 2-2 draw with Brest as they face Strasbourg in the 20th round of Ligue 1. The Parisian club is currently leading the race for the domestic title, and their impressive away record of 6 wins, 3 draws, and 0 losses is sure to boost their confidence ahead of Friday's match. Ousmane Dembele is expected to make a comeback in the starting lineup, but Bradley Barcola will be serving a one-game suspension. Achraf Hakimi and Kang-in Lee are away for international duty, and Milan Skriniar, Nuno Mendes, Presnel Kimpembe, and Layvin Kurzawa are likely to miss the match due to injuries.

On the other hand, Strasbourg has remained unbeaten in their last six league matches. They are determined to pull off an upset in the 20th round, but given the mismatch in quality, it seems more likely that PSG, the defending champions, will come out on top. Strasbourg will be without Saidou Sow, who is away on international duty, and Kevin Gameiro, Ismael Doukoure, Jeremy Sebas, and Lebo Mothiba, who are sidelined with injuries.

Following a goalless draw with Fulham, Everton will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Tottenham at Goodison Park. The Toffees are desperate to escape the relegation zone and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the capital club. Arnaut Danjuma limped off with injury in the last league match, with Lewis Dobbin likely to step up.

Spurs, on the other hand, aim to stay in the Champions League berth. Key attacker Heung-Min Son is still on international duty, but Pape Matar Sarr is back. Anyhow, Tottenham are more of a team than Everton and we predict that the visitors are going to prove their worth on the field. In Son’s absence, January signing Timo Werner will keep his place in the starting XI, while all Giovani Lo Celso, Manor Solomon, and Alfie Whiteman continue to miss out with injuries.

Prediction: 1-2 (Tottenham)

Brighton will be looking to bounce back after suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat against Luton Town, as they prepare to face Crystal Palace in round 23 of the Premier League. The Seagulls encountered numerous defensive issues in their previous match at Kenilworth Road, but despite this setback, they are still considered favorites to emerge victorious against the London-based club when playing at home. James Milner, an experienced midfielder, sustained an injury during the midweek defeat, which means that Jack Hinshelwood is likely to take his place in the starting lineup. Additionally, Kaoru Mitoma is currently away on international duty, while Ansu Fati is sidelined due to injury.

On the other hand, the Eagles are aiming to build on their hard-fought 3-2 victory over Sheffield United. However, Palace has struggled in their away matches recently, managing to accumulate only two points from their last five games on the road. In their previous encounter at the Amex Stadium, Brighton emerged triumphant over Crystal Palace thanks to a goal from Solly March. It is anticipated that history may repeat itself in this upcoming clash. Regarding the away side, Joel Ward is a doubt for the match, while Rob Holding and Cheick Doucoure will be absent from the squad due to injury.

The Clarets failed to win the previous four league matches, but it has to be noted that they faced a tough fixture list. Both Nathan Redmond and Luca Koleosho are sidelined with injuries, while all Delcroix, Beyer, and Taylor are major doubts.

The Cottagers, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Everton. The capital club are eager to put an end to their five-game winless run in all competitions and seeing that they will go for a win in Saturday’s clash, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. In their last meeting at Turf Moor the two sides played out a 1-1 draw. Both Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey are on the international duty, while Senegal defender Fode Ballo-Toure is back from the Africa Cup of Nations.

Newcastle United, coming off a 3-1 victory against Aston Villa, will face off against Luton Town at St. James' Park.

Several key players, such as Isak, Joelinton, Wilson, Manquillo, Willock, and Barnes, are still recovering from injuries, but there are no new injury concerns for the home team.

Luton Town, on the other hand, is enjoying a three-game winning streak in all competitions and will likely maintain their attacking style of play. However, Newcastle has transformed St. James' Park into a formidable fortress, and we expect them to showcase their skills on the field. Defender Issa Kabore has returned from international duty, while Tom Lockyer and Marvelous Nakamba are sidelined with injuries.

The Blades have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding eight goals in total in the last two games and they face yet another uphill task against Villa. Both Max Lowe and Tom Davies are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

The Villans, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Newcastle United, but they are surely capable of beating Sheffield United on Matchday 23. Leon Bailey should be recalled to the starting XI, while Lucas Digne faces race against the clock to be fit for Saturday’s encounter. Earlier in the process the two sides played out a 1-1 draw at Villa Park, but away win should be considered this time out.

Their struggle at the back continues, and with Valencia's impressive home record, it is predicted that the visitors will leave Andalusia empty-handed.

Ferran Torres has joined the likes of Joao Felix, Sergi Roberto, Alex Balde, Raphinha, Inigo Martinez, Marcos Alonso, and Gavi in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

The Basques, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win and they are surely capable of making life difficult for Barcelona, who have been having their ups and downs of late. Taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. Both Abdel Abqar and Jesus Owono are back from the international duty, while Andoni Gorosabel serves a one-game ban.

There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Garcia, Juanpe, Lopez, Casals, and Villa remain in the recovery room.

La Real, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with Rayo Vallecano. Real Sociedad and Girona seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw.

Empoli will be looking to escape the relegation zone when they take on Fiorentina in the Serie A round 23. The Azzurri have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating Monza 3-0, while sharing the spoils with Juventus. Empoli are eager to move away from the bottom three and they are surely capable of making life difficult for Genoa in front of home fans. Tommaso Baldanzi should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring the equalizer against “the Old Lady”, while all Francesco Caputo, Mattia Destro, Tyronne Ebuehi, and Simone Bastoni are out of contention with injuries.

The Rossoblu, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Salernitana and Lecce. Genoa, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the relegation strugglers. The likes of Messias, Haps, and Martin are out of contention with injuries for the away team.

Stadio Friuli will host Udinese vs. Monza this Saturday. Udinese is eager to bounce back from recent losses to AC Milan and Atalanta, but the match will be played without fans due to racial abuse towards Mike Maignan. Several Udinese players are injured.

The likes of Jaime Baez, Anthony Oyono, Riccardo Marchizza, and Sergio Kalaj should miss out with injuries.

The Rossoneri, meanwhile, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Bologna, but it has to be noted that they failed to convert two penalty kicks. Fit-again right back Alessandro Florenzi is pushing for a start, while Samuel Chukwueze is still on international duty with Nigeria. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards at Stadio Benito Stirpe as Frosinone are tough to beat at home.

A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Martin Terrier, who has found his goal-scoring touch, while Nemanja Matic is no longer part of the team after signing a deal with Olympique Lyon.

Montpellier, on the other hand, played out a boring goalless draw with Lille at the weekend. Michel Der Zakarian’s troops have suffered four defeats in the previous five away games and given Rennes’ fine form in January, home win should be considered. All Enzo Tchato, Dimitry Bertaud, Issiaga Sylla, Mousa Al Tamari, Falaye Sacko, and Boubakar Kouyate are on international duty, speaking of the visiting team.

Eray Comert limped off with injury in the last league match, with Nicolas Pallois likely to step up. Benie Adama Traore misses out through suspension, while all Simon, Mohamed, Moutoussamy, and Castelletto are still on international duty.

Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Toulouse and they managed to get one. Franck Haise’s troops have regained a much-needed confidence and given the number of important absentees in the home team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team. Jonathan Gradit is banned for the match, while all Cortes, Khusanov, Mendy, and Guilavogui are on international duty.

Frankfurt, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Mainz. Die Adler have won three of their last four league matches and given Koln’s poor form, away triumph should be considered. To make things even better for the visiting team, Egypt forward Omar Marmoush is back from international duty. Defender Willian Pacho serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while midfielder is sidelined with an ACL injury.

The Bees, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Tottenham, which is yet another reason why we are going to place our bets on the title-chasing visitors.

The hosts can celebrate the return of forward Dango Ouattara from international duty, but unfortunately, Aarons, Hill, Fredericks, and Adams remain sidelined due to injury.

On the other hand, Nottingham Forest has encountered various defensive issues in consecutive losses to Brentford and Arsenal. Having already suffered seven defeats on away grounds this season, Forest's chances against Bournemouth appear less promising given the Cherries' impressive home record. Furthermore, Ibrahim Sangare is unavailable due to international commitments, and Forest forward Divock Origi will miss Sunday's match due to an injury.

Sofyan Amrabat returns from international duty, but Tyrell Malacia joins Mason Mount and Anthony Martial in the recovery room.

Meanwhile, West Ham has drawn their last three league games. Although the two teams are closely matched in the Premier League standings, a home win is more likely as Man Utd has shown signs of improvement. Said Benrahma is suspended for the match, and the absence of key players Michail Antonio and Lucas Paqueta due to injuries hampers West Ham. In their previous encounter at Old Trafford, Man Utd emerged victorious with a narrow 1-0 win.

All Ivan Ilic, Nemanja Radonjic, and Perr Schuurs are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

I Granata, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only 12 points on their account. Given Salernitana’s four-game losing run in the Italian top flight, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Both Coulibaly and Jovane Cabral are on international duty, while all Dia, Fazio, and Pirola are major doubts. In the first half of the season Torino defeated Salernitana 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.

Prediction: 2-0 (Torino)

After drawing with Lazio at Stadio Olimpico, Napoli will try to bounce back with a win against Verona at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Jens Cajuste, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Giovanni Simeone are all available for Napoli after serving suspensions. Despite Victor Osimhen being away on international duty, Napoli are still favored to win.

Verona, who are currently in a precarious position, have lost their last three away games and are unlikely to surprise Napoli. Goalkeeper Alessandro Berardi remains sidelined with a shoulder injury, but he is the only player missing for Verona. Napoli previously defeated Verona 3-1 in the first half of the season.

Prediction: 2-1 (Napoli)

All eyes will be on Gewiss Stadium when Atalanta and Lazio lock horns in the Serie A derby. The Orobici are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Barring any fresh injury worries, Gian Piero Gasperini is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Udinese 2-0 at the weekend. Pacey winger Ademola Lookman is still representing Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The capital club, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Napoli in their last league match. The Biancocelesti are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Sunday’s clash, but preventing Atalanta attackers from scoring in Bergamo is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, one goal should separate the two sides in the round 23 clash. Danilo Cataldi serves a one-game ban, while Patric is sidelined with injury.

Prediction: 1-0 (Atalanta)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Stadio Giuseppe Meazza will be the centre of attention when Inter and Juventus square off against each other in the Serie A derby on Sunday evening. The Nerazzurri are on a five-game winning run in all competitions, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Simone Inzaghi and Co. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Lautaro Martinez, who sealed the victory against Fiorentina, while Juan Cuadrado remains on the sidelines with an Achilles tendon injury.

The Bianconeri, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Empoli, but it has to be noted that Arkadiusz Milik was sent off after just 15 minutes. The Poland forward misses Sunday’s derby through suspension, while both Adrien Rabiot and Federico Chiesa are facing the race against clock to be fit for the match. Anyhow, a low-scoring encounter is on the cards as both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the Derby d’Italia.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Villarreal and Cadiz will face off at Estadio de la Ceramica in an exciting match. Villarreal are in good form after defeating Barcelona, but key players like Pedraza, Terrats, Parejo, Albiol, Pino, and Suarez are still out due to injuries. Meanwhile, Cadiz has struggled to win in La Liga since September 1, 2023, but put up a strong performance in a recent draw against Athletic Bilbao. Robert Navarro is injured for Cadiz, with Brian Ocampo likely to take his place. Fali and Ruben Alcaraz are suspended for Cadiz due to yellow card accumulation. It will be an interesting clash between two teams with different recent results.

Prediction: 2-1 (Villarreal)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

After failing to spoil Barcelona’s party at Camp Nou, Osasuna will look to get back on course in La Liga when they take on Celta Vigo on Matchday 23. Los Rojillos want to regain their spot in top 10 and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s football match. Ruben Pena is sidelined with injury, while Unai Garcia serves a one-game ban following his sending-off in the victory over Osasuna.

Os Celeste, on the other hand, are eager to escape the relegation zone, but given their poor displays in back-to-back losses to Real Sociedad and Girona, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Jonathan Bamba is still on the international duty, while defender Joseph Aidoo misses out with injury. In the first half of the season Osasuna defeated Celta Vigo 2-0, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.

Prediction: 2-1  (Osasuna)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Real Betis will be looking to climb to the Conference League berth when they take on Getafe in the La Liga round 23. Los Beticos quickly bounced back from a 4-2 loss to Real Betis, with the team beating Mallorca thanks to Sergi Altimira’s goal and you should know that they are eyeing their seventh home win of the process. Both Abde Ezzalzouli and Chadi Riad are back from suspension, while all Youssouf Sabaly, Marc Bartra, Guido Rodriguez, Ayoze Perez, and Aitor Ruibal Garcia remain in the recovery room.

The capital club, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Granada. Los Azulones have recorded only one win on the road this term, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home team. Midfielder Yellu Santiago limped off with injury in the last league match, with Gaston Alvarez likely to step up.

Prediction: 1-0 (Betis)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will clash at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in a highly-anticipated local derby. Real Madrid will be seeking revenge for their Copa del Rey defeat against Atletico. Despite injuries to key players like David Alaba, Eder Militao, and Thibaut Courtois, there are no suspended players for the home team.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning streak after a tough local derby against Rayo Vallecano. However, they have struggled in away matches with three defeats in their last four games on the road. This is why we are leaning towards betting on Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid. Alvaro Morata, Jose Gimenez, and Cesar Azpilicueta are sidelined with injuries, while Thomas Lemar's availability remains uncertain and will be assessed before the match.

Prediction: 2-1 (Real Madrid)

Reims play host to Toulouse at their Stade Auguste-Delaune on day 20 of the 2023/2024 Ligue 1 campaign. Les Rouges et Blancs aim to move closer to the Champions League berth and they will not have a much better opportunity than this to return to winning ways. Oumar Diakite is back to contention after Ivory Coast suffered elimination in the Africa Cup of Nations last 16, while the likes of Ibrahim Diakite, Yunis Abdelhamid, Amir Richardson, Junya Ito, and Keito Nakamura are still on international duty.

Les Pitchouns, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Lens, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Reims. As for the visiting side, Frank Magri is back from the Africa Cup of Nations, while both Logan Costa and Moussa Diarra are still on international duty with their respective national teams. Both Denis Genreau and Zakaria Aboukhlal are injured for the visiting side.

Prediction: 2-0 (Reims)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Monaco will host Le Havre at Stade Louis II in a bid to secure their first league victory of the year. Despite their desire to maintain a Champions League spot, Monaco's weakened squad due to international duties and suspensions of key players like Singo, Jakobs, Diatta, Minamino, Camara, and Maripan may hinder their chances of a home win.

Le Havre, positioned mid-table with 23 points, will aim to capitalize on Monaco's absences. With players like Abdoulaye Toure and Mohamed Bayo also on international duty and Yoann Salmier sidelined with a back injury, a draw seems likely in Sunday's match.

Prediction: 2-0 (Monaco)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Following a boring goalless draw with Montpellier, Lille will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Ligue 1 when they take on Clermont on Matchday 20. Les Dogues have a chance to climb to the Champions League berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach in Sunday’s clash. Ayyoub Bouaddi serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while all Remy Cabella, Ivan Cavaleiro, Bafode Diakite, and Tiago Djalo are out of contention with injuries.

Meanwhile, the visitors sit in the relegation zone and given Lille’s 100% home record in January, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Jamaica international Shamar Nicholson suffered an injury in a 1-1 draw with Strasbourg, with Grejohn Kyei likely to step up. Alidu Seidu should play some part in Sunday’s game after returning from international duty.

Prediction: 2-1 (Lille)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Metz will be aiming to put an end to their six-game losing run in the Ligue 1 when they take on Lorient on Sunday afternoon. Les Grenats have been struggling in front of goal of late, but this match could be the turning point for the relegation-threatened hosts. Lamine Camara is back from international duty, while Christophe Herelle has yet to serve his ban.

Les Merlus, on the other hand, played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Le Havre at the weekend. Lorient are eyeing their first league win since October 22, 2023 and given their need for points, both teams to score betting option should be considered. The good news for the away team is that all Yongwa, Mendy, Gomis, and Dieng are back from international duty after their respective national teams suffered elimination in the Africa Cup of Nations last 16. The likes of Faivre, Le Goff, Mendy, Boisgard, and Tosin should miss out through injuries.

Prediction: 2-2 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Brest, coming off a draw with PSG, will face Nice in Ligue 1 round 20. Both teams aim for Champions League spots. Pereira Lage is expected to start for Brest, while Doumbia is on international duty. Nice, recovering from a loss to Rennes, won against Metz with Guessand's penalty goal. The teams are evenly matched, and we predict a draw on Sunday. Nice's Boga, Moffi, Boudaoui, and Atal are at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sparkles will be flying when Olympique Lyon and Olympique Marseille lock horns in the Choc des Olympiques derby on Sunday evening. Les Gones are having a season to forget, but it remains to be seen if signing of veteran Nemanja Matic is going to help the team improve their game. As Lyon experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Rennes, home win should not be considered. Aforementioned midfielder Matic should be the only absentee in the home team as he is struggling with a muscle injury.

OM, on the other hand, played out a 2-2 draw with Monaco in their last league match. Marseille are eager to record their first win of the year and we predict that they will take advantage of Lyon’s shaky defence. The good news for the visiting team is that all Iliman Ndiaye, Pape Gueye, and Simon Ngapandouetnbu are back from international duty.

Prediction: 1-2 (Marseille)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Wolfsburg, aiming for a Conference League spot, face Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. Gerhardt and Arnold may miss out, while Tomas, Wimmer, and Nmecha are recovering.

Prediction: 2-2 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sunday’s football game between Leipzig and Union Berlin will bring down the curtain on the Bundesliga round 20. The Red Bulls are eager to put an end to their three-game losing run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the capital club. Even though Leipzig experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-2 loss to Stuttgart, home win should be considered as Union Berlin struggle on the travels. The good news for the hosts is that key midfielder Xavi Simons is back from suspension. Defender Mohamed Simakan misses the game through suspension.

The visitors, on the other hand, defeated Darmstadt 1-0 in the relegation six-pointer, but given their poor away record, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. You should know that Union Berlin have already suffered seven defeats on the road this term. All Kevin Behrens, Jerome Roussillon, Kevin Volland, and Josip Juranovic should miss out with injuries.

Prediction: 3-1 (Leipzig)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Out-of-form Cadiz will look to record their first league win since September 2023 when they take on Real Betis in the La Liga round 24. The Yellow Submarine have been impressive at the back of late and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Friday’s football game. The good news for the hosts is that both Ruben Alcaraz and Fali are back from suspension, but all Luis Hernandez, Javi Hernandez, and Roger Marti remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Los Beticos, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Getafe. Los Verdiblancos defeated Mallorca thanks to Sergi Altimira’s goal in their last away game and given Cadiz’s dreadful winless run, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Andalusians. All Ezequiel Avila, Ayoze Perez, Guido Rodriguez, Youssouf Sabaly, and Marc Bartra are sidelined with injuries, while both Claudio Bravo and Marc Roca are major doubts.

Prediction: 0-1 (Betis)

Estadio Mendizorrotza will host Saturday’s football game between Deportivo Alaves and Villarreal, the two mid-table sides. Alaves aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Barcelona and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Yellow Submarine. Defender Andoni Gorosabel is back from suspension, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.

The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into goals in a goalless draw with Cadiz, but given their attacking potential with Gerard Moreno and Alexander Sorloth up front, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. All Alfonso Pedraza, Ramon Terrats, Dani Parejo, Yeremi Pino, and Denis Suarez remain in the recovery room, but Marcelino has no other selection problems ahead of the trip to Vitoria. It has to be noted that both teams managed to find the net in each of the previous ten meetings between the two sides

Prediction: 2-2 (draw)

Real Sociedad will aim to secure their place in the Conference League when they face Osasuna in their 24th round match of the Primera Division. Despite their recent struggles in scoring goals, Real Sociedad are still considered favorites to win on their home turf against Osasuna. The team faced setbacks in their previous match against Girona, with Alvaro Odriozola and Sheraldo Becker both suffering injuries and being replaced by Jon Aramburu and Ander Barrenetxea.

On the other hand, Osasuna has had a poor performance in their last two matches against Barcelona and Celta Vigo, suffering consecutive defeats. They encountered various defensive issues in their 3-0 loss to Celta Vigo, which leads us to predict that Real Sociedad will secure a victory and claim all three points. Ezequiel Avila is the only confirmed absentee due to an ankle injury for the visiting team.

Prediction: 1-0 (Real Sociedad)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Real Madrid will face Girona in a highly anticipated match at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in round 24 of the Primera Division. Los Blancos came close to defeating Atletico Madrid in the "El Madrileno" derby, but Marcos Llorente equalized in stoppage time and salvaged a point for Diego Simeone's team. Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni returns from suspension, but David Alaba, Eder Militao, and Thibaut Courtois are still recovering from injuries. Vinicius Junior is ruled out with a muscle injury, and Antonio Rudiger's availability is uncertain.

Girona has been performing well this season, but their previous encounter with Real Madrid ended in a 3-0 defeat at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi. To make matters worse, Yangel Herrera and Daley Blind are suspended for the upcoming match. Given these circumstances, a home win for Real Madrid seems likely.

Prediction: 2-1 (Real Madrid)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Las Palmas and Valencia square off against each other at Estadio de Gran Canaria in the closing match of Saturday’s program. La Union Deportiva are after their sixth home win of the process and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against los Che. The good news for the hosts is that Javier Munoz is back from suspension, but D.R. Congo midfielder Omenuke Mfulu is still on international duty.

Valencia, meanwhile, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Almeria, but given their ups and downs on the road, the share of spoils is on the cards in Gran Canaria. Barring any fresh injury worries, Ruben Baraja is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Almeria, but Guinea defender Mouctar Diakhaby could play some part after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations. Both Thierry Correia and Sergi Canos are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting team.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Following a 1-1 draw with Real Betis, Getafe will look to return to winning ways when they take on Celta Vigo in the La Liga round 24. Los Azulones aim to move closer to the playoffs Conference League berth, but Sunday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the capital club. Experienced midfielder Djene limped off with injury in the last league match, with Domingos Duarte likely to replace him in the starting XI.

The Galicians, on the other hand, produced a brilliant performance in a 3-0 win over Osasuna, but beating Getafe in the suburbs of Madrid is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Jonathan Bamba is representing Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations, while both Williot Swedberg and Joseph Aidoo are out of contention through injuries.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Mallorca will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Real Betis and Athletic Club when they take on Rayo Vallecano on Sunday afternoon. Los Bermellones experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Athletic, but it is well known that they produce much better displays at home than on the travels. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Rayo.

The capital club, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Atletico Madrid and Sevilla and given their poor winless run in all competitions, we believe that the time has come for Mallorca to return to winning ways in Primera Division. Cape Verde forward Bebe is back from international duty, while midfielder Diego Mendez is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

Prediction: 2-0 (Mallorca)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sevilla and Atletico Madrid will clash in a highly-anticipated La Liga match at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Sevilla recently secured a victory against Rayo Vallecano, with Youssef En Nesyri scoring upon his return from international duty. Sergio Ramos and Suso are available after serving suspensions, but Kike Salas, Nemanja Gudelj, and Dodi Lukebakio are sidelined with injuries.

Atletico Madrid, aiming to secure a Champions League spot, displayed their strength with a 1-1 draw against their fierce rivals Real Madrid. Considering their strong head-to-head record against Sevilla, an away triumph could be expected. However, Jose Gimenez and Cesar Azpilicueta are out due to injuries, while Nahuel Molina is vying for a place in the starting lineup.

Prediction: 0-2 (Atletico Madrid)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Alaves, Barcelona will be aiming to keep their title hopes alive when they take on Granada in the La Liga round 24. Barca are eyeing their third consecutive league win, but Xavi must warn his men against complacency. Youngster Vitor Roque serves a one-game ban, while all Ilkay Gundogan, Ferran Torres, Joao Felix, and Raphinha should miss out with injuries. Anyhow, Xavi still has a number of high-profile players to choose from.

The Andalusians, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league matches. Granada have already suffered ten defeats on the road this season and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp in the Primera Division round 24. Both Kamil Piatkowski and Gonzalo Villar are banned for the match for the visiting side.

Prediction: 2-0 (Barcelona)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Athletic Bilbao will look to build on a splendid 4-0 win over Mallorca when they take on Almeria in the closing match of La Liga round 24. The Lions aim to climb to the Champions League berth and they are surely capable of beating the rock-bottom side at Power Horse Stadium. Defender Yuri Berchiche, who scored a brace against los Bermellones, should keep his place in the starting XI, while Inigo Lekue remains in the recovery room.

The Andalusians are having a season to forget, with the team collecting only six points to date. Given Almeria’s shaky defence, we predict the Basques are going to emerge triumphant in Monday’s showdown. Leo Baptistao is banned for the match, while both Luis Suarez and Arnau Puigmal are out of contention through injuries. You should bear in mind that Athletic Bilbao emerged triumphant in ten of the previous eleven meetings between the two sides.

Prediction: 0-2 (Athletic Bilbao)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Salernitana and Empoli take on each other at Stadio Arechi in the opening match of the Serie A round 24. I Granata do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing four of their last five league matches, while sharing the spoils with Torino. Triantafyllos Pasalidis is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a goalless draw with Il Toro, with Junior Sambia likely to step up. Federico Fazio remains on the sidelines with injury, while fellow defender Norbert Gyomber is a major doubt.

The Azzurri, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Genoa. Anyhow, Empoli and Salernitana seem to be evenly matched and we predict that they are going to play out a draw in the relegation six-pointer. The likes of Francesco Caputo, Tyronne Ebuehi, and Simone Bastoni miss out with injuries, speaking of the visiting team.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Unipol Domus will be the venue for Saturday's football match between Cagliari and Lazio, two teams with different goals for the season. Cagliari is struggling with a poor form, losing their last three matches and aiming to avoid relegation. Their defense issues in a recent 4-0 loss to AS Roma make a home win unlikely. Several key players are injured, and there are no suspensions for Cagliari.

Lazio, on the other hand, is looking to secure a spot in the Champions League. Despite a recent loss to Atalanta, they are expected to capitalize on Cagliari's defensive weaknesses. Danilo Cataldi returns from suspension, and Lazio has no new injury concerns.

Prediction: 1-2 (Lazio)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Roma will be aiming to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Inter in the Serie A round 24. The Giallorossi produced a brilliant display in a 4-0 win over Cagliari and they are surely capable of matching the Nerazzurri in “the Eternal City”. All Leonardo Spinazzola, Chris Smalling, and Tammy Abraham are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

The visitors, on the other hand, aim to retain top position in the standings, but given Roma’s fine form in the national championship, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Juan Cuadrado remains on the sidelines with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Lautaro Martinez, who has netted 19 goals in the Serie A so far this term.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore will host Saturday’s football game between Sassuolo and Torino. The Neroverdi aim to put an end to their three-game losing run in the Serie A, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Matheus Henrique is back from suspension, while Pedro Mba Obiang misses out with injury. Jeremy Toljan faces race against the clock to be fit for the match.

Il Toro, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Salernitana. Ivan Juric’s men are not regarded as good travellers and, taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. In their last meeting at the venue the two sides played out a 1-1 draw. Perr Schuurs and Alessandro Buongiorno should be the only absentees in the away team.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Fiorentina will seek redemption after consecutive losses to Inter and Lecce as they face Frosinone in Serie A Round 24. Despite not winning in their last four league games, a victory over Frosinone could propel them towards a Conference League spot. Midfielder Rolando Mandragora is expected to return to the starting lineup, while Castrovilli, Arthur, and Dodo are still recovering from injuries. Christian Kouame is unavailable due to international duty.

Frosinone, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back from a 3-2 defeat to AC Milan. They are determined to climb out of the relegation zone, but their struggles away from home make Fiorentina a favorable betting option. Jaime Baez, Anthony Oyono, Riccardo Marchizza, and Sergio Kalaj are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.

Prediction: 2-1 (Fiorentina)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Buoyed by a 4-2 win over Sassuolo, Bologna will be aiming to climb to the Champions League berth when they take on Lecce in the Serie A round 24. The Rossoblu are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Alexis Saelemaekers is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while Michel Aebischer serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

The Giallorossi, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Fiorentina and they managed to get one, but given their poor away record in the Italian top flight, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Bologna. Valentin Gendrey is banned for the match, while fellow defender Kastriot Dermaku is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

Prediction: 1-0 (Bologna)

Sunday’s football game at Brianteo pits together Monza and Verona, the two bottom-table sides. The Biancorossi have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Empoli, beating Monza, while sharing the spoils with Udinese. Papu Gomez remains on the sidelines with a long-term suspension, while Gianluca Caprari misses out with an ACL injury.

The Mastini, on the other hand, aim to escape the danger zone. As both sides will go for a victory in Sunday’s encounter, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Tomas Suslov is banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while goalkeeper continues to miss out with a shoulder injury. In the first half of the season Monza defeated Verona 3-1 in the “City of Love”, which is yet another reason why BTTS betting option should be considered.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Stadio Luigi Ferraris will host Sunday’s football game between Genoa and Atalanta, the two top-table teams. Genoa have been in a fine form of late and, no doubt, they want to extend their unbeaten run to nine games. Koni De Winter serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while all Ankeye, Messias, Haps, and Matturro remain on the sidelines.

The Orobici, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Lazio at the weekend. Atalanta are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, but beating Genoa on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Ederson Jose serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while fellow midfielder Teun Koopmeiners misses out with an ankle problem.

Milan and Napoli will clash at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the Serie A derby. Milan has been in good form with five wins in their last six league games and will likely maintain their attacking style against Napoli. Chukwueze is away on international duty, while Reijnders is suspended. Kalulu, Caldara, Thiaw, Pobega, Mirante, and Tomori are still recovering from injuries.

Napoli, coming off a hard-fought 2-1 win against Verona, aim to continue their momentum. However, they are missing key attacker Osimhen due to international duty, making Milan the favorable betting choice. Mario Rui is suspended, while Meret and Olivera are sidelined with injuries.

Prediction: 2-1 (Milan)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Monday’s football game between Juventus and Udinese, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. Juve aim to recover from a heart-breaking loss to Inter and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Zebrette. Pacey forward Federico Chiesa is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while defender Danilo misses out through suspension. Serbia goal-scoring machine Dusan Vlahovic should recover in time to face Udinese.

The visitors, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five league matches. Udinese aim to escape the danger zone, but given their difficulties in front of goal, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Gerard Deulofeu is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, while both Ebosse and Bijol are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting team.

Prediction: 2-0 (Juventus)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Borussia Dortmund, coming off a draw with Heidenheim, will face Freiburg as they aim to secure a Champions League spot. Haller is away on international duty, while Sancho, Duranville, and Nmecha are still recovering. Streich's team is looking to bounce back from recent losses to Werder Bremen and Stuttgart.

Freiburg has been struggling defensively, making a home win likely. Rohl is suspended for the match, and Ginter, Lienhart, Schmidt, Rosenfelder, and Kyeren are all injured. Dortmund previously defeated Freiburg 4-2 in the first half of the season, and we expect a similar outcome this time.

Prediction: 2-1 (Borussia Dortmund)

Leipzig will be aiming to climb to the Champions League places when they take on Augsburg in the Bundesliga round 21. The Red Bulls have regained a much-needed confidence thanks to a 2-0 win over Union Berlin and they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash as well. Defender Mohamed Simakan is back from suspension, while midfielder Amadou Haidara could play some part after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Bavarians, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Borussia M’gladbach, losing to Bayern Munich, while sharing the spoils with Bochum. Anyhow, Leipzig are more of a team than Augsburg and we predict that the visitors are going to prove their worth on the field. The likes of Dion Beljo, Niklas Dorsch, and Raphael Framberger should miss out with injuries for the home side.

Prediction: 0-2 (Leipzig)

Eintracht Frankfurt play host to Bochum at their Deutsche Bank Park on day 21 of the current Bundesliga campaign. Die Adler aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Koln and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Keep in mind, though, that both Tuta and Niels Nkounkou are banned for the match. Midfielder Mehdi Loune misses out with an ACL injury.

Thomas Letsch’s troops are still sitting in the danger zone in the Bundesliga standings. Bochum are on a three-game losing run on the road and even though Eintracht Frankfurt boss Dino Toppmoller has some selection worries, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. Both Mohammed Tolba and Michael Esser are sidelined with injuries, while Saturday’s game comes too early for Keven Schlotterbeck, who has been struggling with a muscle problem.

Following a 2-0 loss to Leipzig, Union Berlin will look to return to winning ways when they take on Wolfsburg on Matchday 21.

The likes of Alex Kral, Frederik Ronnow, Diogo Leite, Jerome Roussillon, and Josip Juranovic continue to miss out with injuries.

Guinea midfielder Naby Keita is back from the international duty, while Jens Stage is banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards. All Milos Veljkovic, Amos Pieper, and Leon Opitz remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Heidenheim, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last four league matches. Frank Schmidt’s troops aim to extend their fine undefeated run in the national championship, but given Werder Bremen’s signs of improvement, both up front and at the back, home win should be considered. Both Thomas Keller and Elidon Qenaj are out of contention with injuries, while Denis Thomalia is a major doubt.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

All eyes will be on BayArena when Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich lock horns in the Bundesliga derby. The BayArena outfit aim to build on a 2-0 win over Darmstadt, but they will have a big fish to fry against the fellow title hopefuls. In Victor Boniface’s absence, new signing Borja Iglesias will continue leading the line for the hosts. Both Arthur and Exequiel Palacios are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

The Bavarians, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the German top flight, but it seems as if their results are much better than the performances. Taking everything into account, we believe that the two sides are going to share the spoils in the Bundesliga derby. Defender Min-Jae Kim is representing South Korea at the Asian Cup, while all Serge Gnabry, Dayot Upamecano, Joshua Kimmich, Konrad Laimer, Kingsley Coman, and Alphonso Davies are out of contention with injuries.

Hoffenheim will aim to break their streak of six consecutive matches without a win as they face Koln in the upcoming Bundesliga fixture of round 21. Die Kraichgauer aim to move closer to the Conference League berth, but Saturday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for Pellegrino Matarazzo’s troops. Florian Grillitsch is back from suspension, while all Becker, Berisha, Geiger, and John should miss out with injuries.

The Billy Goats, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. Given Koln's determination to climb out of the relegation zone, they'll be pushing for a victory. With both teams likely to be on the offensive, we see significant value in betting on both teams to score. As for the away team, the likes of Philipp Pentke, Faride Alidou, Luca Waldschmidt, Davie Selke, and Mark Uth remain in the recovery room.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Olympique Marseille will be aiming to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Olympique Lyon when they take on Metz in the Ligue 1 round 21.

Chancel Mbemba is back from international duty, while all Jordan Veretout, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Amir Murillo, Bilal Nadir, and Valentin Rongier remain in the recovery room.

Metz, on the other hand, are on a seven-game losing run in the French top flight, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side.

Les Parisiens are eager to retain top position in the standings and you should know that they are after their eighth home win of the process. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Kylian Mbappe, who scored the opener in a 2-1 win over Strasbourg, while Achraf Hakimi is back from suspension. All Layvin Kurzawa, Milan Skriniar, Sergio Rico, Nuno Mendes, and Presnel Kimpembe are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

Les Dogues, on the other hand, rolled over Clermont 4-0 in their last league match, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on both teams to score. As for the away team, all Ivan Cavaleiro, Bafode Diakite, and Samuel Umtiti are out of contention with injuries

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Stade Oceane will host Sunday’s matinee between Le Havre and Rennes, the two mid-table sides. Les Ciel et Marine aim to move closer to the Conference League berth and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Les Rouges et Noirs. Barring any fresh injury worries, Luka Elsner is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with Monaco.

Both Abdoulaye Toure and Mohamed Bayo are back from suspension. Rennes, meanwhile, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive win in the French top flight. As the visitors are eager to move closer to the Conference League berth, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visiting team. Both Jeanuel Belocian and Fabian Rieder are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Normandy

Prediction: 1-2 (Rennes)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Clermont will look to make amends for a massive 4-0 loss to Lille when they take on Brest in the Ligue 1 round 21. Les Lanciers are stuck at the bottom of the table with only 15 points on their account and given their poor defensive performance in the defeat to les Dogues, home win should not be considered. Midfielders Alan Virginius and Cheick Oumar Konate should be the only absentees in the home team.

Les Pirates, on the other hand, aim to stay in the Champions League berth and given their fine performances in back-to-back draws with Nice and PSG, there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. Both Jeremy Le Douaron and Jordan Amavi are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team. In their last meeting at the venue Brest defeated Clermont 3-1.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Lorient will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Metz when they take on Reims in the Ligue 1 round 21. Les Merlus did well to put an end to their ten-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence and they are surely capable of matching les Rouges et Blancs in front of home fans. Defender Gedeon Kalulu is still on international duty, while all Aiyegun Tosin, Benjamin Mendy, and Quentin Boisgard remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Reims, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-2 loss to Toulouse. As for the visiting team, defender Sergio Akieme is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while both Atangana Edoa and Maxime Busi are out of contention with injuries. There are no other selection worries in the visiting team.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Sunday’s football game at Stadium Municipal pits together Toulouse and Nantes, the two sides who are almost level on points in the Ligue 1 standings. Toulouse aim to build on a 3-2 win over Reims and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against les Canaris. All Diarra, Aboukhlal, and Costa are back from the international duty, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Both Denis Genreau and Zakaria Aboukhlal are out of contention with injuries.

Les Canaris, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Lens and given their dreadful winless run, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. To make things even worse for the visiting team, both Kelvin Amian and Moussa Sissoko limped off with injuries in the last league match.

Prediction: 1-0 (Toulouse)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Montpellier and Olympique Lyon clash at Stade de la Mosson in a highly anticipated Sunday match. Montpellier looks to end their four-game winless streak in Ligue 1 after a 2-1 loss to Rennes.

Meanwhile, Lyon aims to continue their momentum after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Olympique Marseille. Despite their struggles away from home this season and defensive issues, a home win is expected. Midfielder Johann Lepenant is the only absentee for Lyon due to a sprained knee, while new signing Adryelson is pushing for a starting role.

Prediction: 2-1 (Montpellier)

There will be fireworks when Nice and Monaco lock horns at Allianz Riviera in what is expected to be a close Ligue 1 encounter. Les Aiglons are eager to stay in the Champions League berth and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against les Rouges et Blancs. The good news for the home side is that Dutch midfielder Pablo Rosario returns from suspension.

Monaco, on the other hand, played out a slim 1-1 draw with Le Havre. As Adi Hutter’s troops struggled offensively in the last league match, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Nice, who have turned their Allianz Riviera into a real fortress. Forward Folarin Balogun should be the only absentee in the away team. In the first half of the season Nice defeated Monaco thanks to Jeremie Boga’s goals, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.

Prediction: 1-0 (Nice)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Manchester City, fresh off a comeback victory against Brentford, will aim to surpass Liverpool at the top of the table as they host Everton at Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The Citizens are chasing their tenth straight win and are expected to maintain their attacking approach. Erling Haaland, who returned to the starting lineup in their last match, will lead the line for the reigning champions. Manager Pep Guardiola has the luxury of fielding his strongest team against Everton.

On the other hand, Everton secured a 2-2 draw with Tottenham, with Jarrad Branthwaite scoring a late equalizer. However, facing Manchester City will be a tougher challenge, especially with the return of Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland for the hosts. Everton's Abdoulaye Doucoure and Amadou Onana are both doubtful for the match and will undergo assessments before kick-off.

Prediction: 3-1 (Man City)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

After failing to win the previous six games in all competitions, Fulham will be aiming to return to winning ways when they welcome Bournemouth to their Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon. The Cottagers have recorded six wins at home so far this season, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the capital club. Both Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey are back from international duty, while Adama Traore faces race against the clock to be fit for the match.

The Cherries, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. Bournemouth and Fulham, though, seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils at Craven Cottage. Burkina Faso midfielder Dango Ouattara is back from international duty, while Philip Billing misses out through suspension, speaking of the away team.

Darwin Nunez is pushing for a starting spot, while Mohamed Salah is still recovering from a hamstring injury. Wataru Endo is likely to feature after returning from international duty.

Burnley have struggled in their last five league matches and their defense is a concern. David Datro Fofana is expected to start after a brace in the previous game, but Taylor, Delcroix, and Beyer are doubtful for the match. Liverpool are favorites to secure a routine home win against the Clarets.

Prediction: 4-1 (Liverpool)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Saturday’s football game at Kenilworth Road pits together Luton Town and Sheffield United, the two sides who sit in the bottom half of the table. The Hatters are eager to escape the danger zone and given their excellent offensive display in a 4-4 draw with Newcastle United, home win should be considered. All Nakamba, Andersen, and Lockyer are out of contention, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

The Blades, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only ten points on their account. The rock-bottom side experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-0 loss to Aston Villa and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Luton’s party ta Kenilworth Road. As for the away team, Rhian Brewster is banned for the match, while all Ivo Grbic, Max Lowe, John Egan, George Baldock, and Daniel Jebbison remain in the recovery room.

Prediction: 2-1 (Luton)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Tottenham will face Brighton after a draw with Everton, looking to get back on track in the Premier League. Spurs have been scoring freely and are likely to continue their attacking style. Richarlison is a key player to watch for Tottenham, while Son is still away on international duty. Bissouma's return is a boost for Brighton after his Africa Cup of Nations campaign.

Brighton bounced back from a heavy loss to Luton Town by defeating Crystal Palace 4-1. With their attacking threat, over 2.5 goals could be expected. In the first half of the season, Brighton beat Spurs 4-2. Adingra is away on international duty, and Mitoma, Veltman, and Enciso are still recovering for Brighton.

Prediction: 3-2 (Tottenham)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United go head to head at the City Ground in the closing match of Saturday’s program. The Reds failed to win the previous three league matches and they face yet another tough task against Newcastle. Callum Hudson-Odoi is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth, while Ibrahim Sangare is still on international duty.

The Magpies, on the other hand, played out a thrilling 4-4 draw with Luton Town at the weekend. Newcastle United have been scoring goals for fun of late and given Forest’s attacking potential on home soil, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The fact that striker Alexander Isak should be fit for the match goes in favour of our prediction. In the first half of the season Nottingham Forest defeated Newcastle United 3-1

Prediction: 2-2 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

There will be fireworks when West Ham United and Arsenal lock horns in the London derby. The Hammers aim to put an end to their six-game winless run in all competitions, but their poor defensive display in a 3-0 loss to Manchester United is not fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. Alphonse Areola should be fit for the match despite picking up a minor injury at the weekend, while both Michail Antonio and Lucas Paqueta remain in the recovery room.

The Gunners, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the English top flight. Arsenal have been scoring goals for fun of late and given their fine performance in a 3-1 win over Liverpool, we predict that Mikel Arteta’s troops are going to pick up all three points from the local derby. The good news for the visitors is that Gabriel Jesus has overcome his injury, while Takehiro Tomiyasu is back from international duty.

Prediction: 1-2 (Arsenal)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Villa Park will be the centre of attention when Aston Villa and Manchester United lock horns in the Premier League derby. The Villans aim to build on a thrilling 5-0 win over Sheffield United and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. With no fresh injury worries to report, Unai Emery is unlikely to make changes to the team that hammered the Blades, but both Lucas Digne and Ezri Konsa remain doubtful.

The Red Devils, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Wolverhampton and West Ham United. As Man Utd have improved offensively as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Aaron Wan-Bissaka faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s clash, while Tyrell Malacia is unlikely to recover in time to face the Villans. Both Mason Mount and Lisandro Martinez remain in the recovery room.

Prediction: 2-2 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sparkles will be flying when Crystal Palace and Chelsea go head to head at Selhurst Park in the London derby. The Eagles aim to recover from a heavy 4-1 loss to Brighton and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Blues. Joel Ward is rated doubtful for Monday’s showdown, but both Marc Guehi and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi should recover in time to face Mauro Pochettino’s troops.

The visitors, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Liverpool and Wolverhampton in the previous two league matches. As Chelsea conceded eight goals in total in those defeats, we are tempted to place our bets on the underdogs this time out. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team, but all Marc Cucurella, Lesley Ugochukwu, Robert Sanchez, Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, and Romeo Lavia remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Prediction: 2-1 (Crystal Palace)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

All eyes will be on the Red Bull Arena when Leipzig and Real Madrid face each other in the first leg of the Champions League last 16. Leipzig seems to be struggling as they have only won one of their last six league matches. It will undoubtedly be a tough challenge for them against Carlo Ancelotti's team. One player to watch in the home team is Lois Openda, who scored in a 2-2 draw with Augsburg. However, Amadou Haidara is still recovering from an injury.

On the other hand, Real Madrid is performing well and is on track to win the La Liga trophy. They recently defeated Girona 4-0 in their last league match. Considering Leipzig's poor form, betting on the away team seems to be a valuable option.

Prediction: 1-2 (Real Madrid)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

There will be fireworks when Lazio and Bayern Munich go head to head in the last 16 of the Champions League, first leg. The Biancocelesti were producing fine displays in the group stages, but they will have a mountain to climb in the double-header with Thomas Tuchel’s troops. Nicolo Rovella is back from the domestic ban, while fellow midfielder Mattia Zaccagni is sidelined with injury. Right back Patrick is a major doubt.

The Bavarians, on the other hand, aim to recover from a heart-breaking 3-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen. Even though Bayern Munich failed to impress in the Bundesliga derby, away win should be considered as Thomas Tuchel has a number of top-class players to choose from.

Prediction: 0-2 (Bayern Munich)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

PSG and Real Sociedad are set to face off in a much-anticipated Champions League clash at Parc des Princes. It will be the first-ever meeting between these two teams in the prestigious competition. PSG aims to maintain their winning streak, having secured three consecutive victories across all competitions. Their attacking style of play is expected to remain unchanged, with Kylian Mbappe likely to return to the starting lineup after being rested in the recent 3-1 win over Lille.

In contrast, Real Sociedad had a disappointing 1-0 loss to Osasuna in their last La Liga game. They have been struggling to find the back of the net, having gone four games without a goal across all competitions. Given this, a home win for PSG becomes a strong possibility.

Prediction: 2-0 (PSG)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Stadio Renato Dall’Ara will host Wednesday’s football game between Bologna and Fiorentina, the two top-table sides. The Rossoblu aim to build on back-to-back wins over Sassuolo (4-2) and Lecce (4-0) and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be winger Riccardo Orsolini, who scored a brace at the weekend, while Switzerland international Michel Aebischer is back from suspension.

The Viola, on the other hand, rolled over Frosinone 5-1 in their last home game, but given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. Luca Ranieri returns from suspension, while Wednesday’s clash comes too early for Christian Kouame, who represented Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations. In their last meeting at the venue Bologna defeated Fiorentina 2-1.

Prediction: 2-1 (Bologna)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

De Kuip will be the centre of attention when Feyenoord and Roma lock horns in the Europa League last 32, first leg. The Rotterdammers are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions and they must be high on confidence following a win in the Rotterdam derby. The likes of Bijlow, Zechiel, van den Belt, and Trauner should miss out with injuries, while Quinten Timber is a major doubt.

The Giallorossi, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-2 loss to Inter, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the Eredivisie champions, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Evan Ndicka is unlikely to feature in Thursday’s clash as the defender represented Ivory Coast in the Africa Cup of Nations final at the weekend, while Tammy Abraham remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury.

Prediction: 2-1 (Feyenoord)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Galatasaray will be aiming to extend their winning run to nine games when they take on Sparta Prague in the first leg of the Europa League last 32. Galatasaray are in a two-horse title race with Fenerbahce in the national championship, but they have big ambitions for the Europa League knockout stages as well. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be former Napoli man Dries Mertens, who sealed the victory against Basaksehir at the weekend, while the likes of Oliveira, Ziyech, and Bardakci should miss out through injuries.

Brian Priske’s men, on the other hand, restarted the domestic campaign with a routine 3-0 win over Karvina, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Galatasaray. Okan Buruk’s men have turned their Rams Park into a real fortress and we predict that the hosts will prove their worth on the field. The visitors will be without Haraslin, Pavelka, and Vindheim in Thursday’s clash.

Prediction: 2-0 (Galatasaray)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

A place in the Europa League last 16 will be at stake when Shakhtar Donetsk and Olympique Marseille face each other in an eagerly-awaited two-legged tie. The Miners have not been in action since December 8. 2023 and, no doubt, they face a tough challenge against the Ligue 1 outfit. As the game will be played on the neutral location, home win should not be considered.

OM, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five league matches. Chancel Mbemba is a major doubt after returning recently from international duty, while all Nadir, Rongier, and Ruiz are out of contention with injuries. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards in the first leg as Marseille do not seem to be at the top of their game. In their last meeting in the Europa League, back in 2009, Shakhtar Donetsk defeated Olympique Marseille in the double-header.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Following a thrilling 3-3 draw with Lugano, Youngs Boys will look to return to winning ways when they face Sporting CP in the Europa League last 32, first leg. Raphael Wicky’s troops have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-oriented approach against the Lisbon Lions. January signing Joel Mvuka Mugisha is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute at the weekend, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.

The Primeira Liga outfit, on the other hand, rolled over Braga 5-0 to retain top position in the standings and they are seen as favourites to win Thursday’s clash as well. Ousmane Diomande is a major doubt, while Ivan Fresneda remains on the sidelines with injury. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Young Boys experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the draw with Lugano.

Prediction: 1-2 (Sporting)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sparkles will be flying when Milan and Rennes square off against each other at Stadio San Siro in the Europa League last 32, first leg. The Rossoneri have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning six of their last seven league matches and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Rennes. Davide Calabria limped off with injury in a 1-0 win over Napoli at the weekend, with Alessandro Florenzi likely to step up, while Tijjani Reijnders is back from suspension.

Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, are on an eight-game winning run in all competitions, but Milan will surely pose a much bigger threat for the Ligue 1 outfit than their previous rivals. As the Rossoneri have turned their “San Siro” into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Both Enzo Le Fee and Fabian Rieder are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.

Prediction: 2-0 (MIlan)

Following a 2-2 draw with Guimaraes, Benfica will look to return to winning ways when they face Toulouse in the Europa League last 32, first leg. The Eagles have been scoring goals for fun of late and, as a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to win the first leg. Arthur Cabral is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute against Guimaraes, while defender Juan Bernat remains on the sidelines with injury.

Les Pitchouns, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Nantes. Toulouse have been struggling at the back in recent weeks and given Benfica’s fine home record, we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of grabbing something from the match. Both Denis Genreau and Zakaria Aboukhlal are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting team.

Prediction: 2-1 (Benfica)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Braga will be aiming to recover from a massive 5-0 loss to Sporting CP when they take on Qarabag in the Europa League last 32, first leg. Braga are a real force to be reckoned with at home and they surely want to get their job done in the first leg. Simon Banza is unlikely to feature as the 27-year-old forward played for D.R. Congo in the AFCON third place playoff against South Africa, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.

Gurban Gurbanov’s troops, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-3 draw with Sabah Baku at the weekend and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Braga’s party at Estadio Municipal de Braga. To make things even worse for the visiting team, Marko Vesovic is banned for the match following his sending-off in a 2-1 win over Hacken.

Prediction: 3-0 (Braga)

Lens and Freiburg take on each other at Stade Bollaert-Delelis in what is expected to be an interesting Europa League encounter. Lens are on a three-game winning run in the Ligue 1 and, as a result, the odds for home win have been dropping. Barring any fresh injury worries, Franck Haise is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Strasbourg 3-1 at the weekend.

Christian Streich’s troops, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team extending their losing run to three games. As Freiburg conceded nine goals in total in the previous three Bundesliga matches, we are tempted to put our money on Lens this time out. Attila Szalai is widely expected to replace Manuel Gulde in the starting XI, while all Adamu, Ginter, Kyereh, Lienhart, Rosenfelder, and Schmidt should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.

Prediction: 2-1 (Lens)

Villarreal and Getafe go head to head at Estadio de la Ceramica in the La Liga round 25 curtain-raiser. The Yellow Submarine came from behind to share the spoils with Alaves, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to rejoin the race for a spot in European competitions. The likes of Alfonso Pedraza, Ramon Terrats, Dani Parejo, Yeremi Pino, and Denis Suarez should miss out with injuries for the home side.

Los Azulones, on the other hand, produced a fine performance in a 3-2 win over Celta Vigo. The capital club, though, produce much better showings at home than on the travels, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. In their last meeting at the venue Villarreal defeated Getafe 2-1. The good news for the visiting team is that defender Gaston Alvarez is back from suspension.

Prediction: 2-1 (Villarreal)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Atletico Madrid will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Sevilla when they host Las Palmas to their Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Matchday 25. Los Rojiblancos are eager to stay in the Champions League berth, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Alvaro Morata limped off with injury in the last league match, with Memphis Depay likely to replace him in the starting XI. All Jose Gimenez, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Thomas Lemar are out of contention with injuries.

La Union Deportiva, on the other hand, did well to beat Valencia at home, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Diego Simeone’s troops are going to pick up all three points from the match. To make things even worse for the visiting team, goalkeeper Aaron Escandell misses out through suspension, while Benito Ramirez is sidelined with injury.

Prediction: 2-0 (Atletico Madrid)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Estadio El Sadar will host Saturday’s football game between Osasuna and Cadiz. Los Rojillos did well to beat Real Sociedad at Reale Arena thanks to Ante Budimir’s goal, with the team putting an end to their three-game winless run. Barring any fresh injury worries, Jagoba Arrasate is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Basques at the weekend.

The Yellows, on the other hand, are fighting hard to avoid relegation. Cadiz, though, produced an under-par performance in the defeat to Real Betis, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home team. Both Luis Hernandez and Javi Hernandez continue to miss out with injuries, while Roger Marti faces race against the clock to be fit for Saturday’s encounter. In their last encounter in Pamplona Osasuna defeated Cadiz 2-0, which goes in favour of our prediction.

Prediction: 1-0 (Osasuna)

Estadio de Balaidos will be the centre of attention when Celta Vigo and Barcelona lock horns in the Primera Division round 25. Os Celeste aim to recover from a 3-2 loss to Getafe and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Catalan giants. Experienced forward Iago Aspas is pushing for a start as well as Tadeo Allende, who scored as a substitute in the defeat to los Azulones, while both Williot Swedberg and Joseph Aidoo are out of contention with injuries.

Barca, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 3-3 draw with Granada. Xavi’s troops are eager to keep their title hopes alive, but given their anything but good record at “Balaidos”, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.

Prediction: 2-2 (Draw)

Fireworks are expected at Estadio de Mestalla as Valencia and Sevilla face off in a highly-anticipated La Liga match. Valencia is looking to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Las Palmas and secure their fourth consecutive home win. Thierry Correia and Andre Almeida are injured, while Diego Lopez is racing to be fit for the game.

Sevilla, on the other hand, are coming off two wins and are aiming to continue their good form. However, beating Valencia at home will be a tough challenge. Considering this, a draw could be a good bet for punters. Coach Quique Sanchez Flores is likely to stick with the winning team from the previous match, barring any new injuries.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Sparkles will be flying when Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid face each other in the local derby at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas. Los Vallecanos aim to put an end to their three-game losing run, but they will have a mountain to climb in the Madrid derby. Pep Chavarria limped off with injury in a 2-1 loss to Mallorca, with Andrei Ratiu being ready to step up.

Los Blancos, on the other hand, rolled over Girona 4-0 at the weekend to cement top position in the standings. Carlo Ancelotti’s men aim to move closer to winning their 36th La Liga trophy and even though influential midfielder Jude Bellingham misses out with injury, we are tempted to put our money on the league leaders. All Joselu, Luka Modric, and Fran Garcia are pushing for a start as Ancelotti should rest several first-team regulars following the Champions League clash with Leipzig

Prediction: 0-2 (Real Madrid)

Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes will host the Andalusian derby between Granada and Almeria, two teams fighting relegation. Granada is desperate to end their five-game winless streak and has a good chance to do so in this match. Ignasi Miquel is suspended for one game, but Kamil Piatkowski and Gonzalo Villar return from suspension.

Almeria, in last place with only seven points, have slim hopes of survival. This presents a great opportunity for Granada to get back on track. Adding to Almeria's troubles, Largie Ramazani and Leo Baptistao are suspended for the match.

Prediction: 2-1 (Granada)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Mallorca and Real Sociedad square off against each other at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix in what is expected to be a close La Liga encounter. Los Bermellones continue with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels and they must be high on confidence following a hard-fought 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano. Vedat Muriqi should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a late winner against los Vallecanos, while Cyle Larin is back from suspension. The Basques, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Osasuna, but given their dreadful goalless drought in Primera Division, we are tempted to put our money on Javier Aguirre’s troops.

Prediction: 1-0  (Mallorca)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Real Betis will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Cadiz when they take on Deportivo Alaves in the La Liga round 25. Los Beticos are eager to stay in the Conference League berth, but Sunday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. The likes of Abner, Bartra, Isco, Rodriguez, and Ayoze Perez should miss out with injuries, with fit-again midfielder William Carvalho pushing for a start.

The Basques, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Almeria, losing to Barcelona, while sharing the spoils with Villarreal. Alaves are stuck in the middle of the table with little to play for in the remainder of the season and, taking everything into account, home win should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Seville.

Prediction: 2-1 (Betis)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Athletic Bilbao and Girona face each other at Estadio San Mames in the closing match of the La Liga round 25. The Basques failed to impress in a goalless draw with Girona, but it has to be noted that they managed to keep their third consecutive clean sheet in the national championship. Nico Williams remains in the recovery room, but Inaki’s brother should be the only absentee in the home team.

The Catalans, on the other hand, failed to spoil Real Madrid’s party at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. It seems as if the time has come for Michel Sanchez’s troops to start losing some points in the 2023/2024 season and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Both Daley Blind and Yangel Herrera are back from suspension, speaking of the visiting team. Yan Couto, though, serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

Prediction: 2-0 (Athletic Bilbao)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Torino will look to extend their unbeaten run in the Serie A to six games when they take on Lecce at Stadio Olimpico di Torino. Il Toro want to stay in the race for a spot in European competitions and we are positive that they will go for a win in Friday’s encounter. Adrien Tameze is banned for the match, while all Schuurs, Buongiorno, and Linetty are out of contention with injuries.

The Giallorossi, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing four of their last five league matches. As Lecce suffered a loss in each of their last five away games in the Italian top flight, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Zambia international Lameck Banda limped off with injury in the 4-0 defeat to Bologna, with Nicola Sansone likely to replace him in the starting XI.

Prediction: 2-0 (Torino)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Inter and Salernitana will clash at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in a match where the Nerazzurri are aiming to maintain their top position in the standings. Inter is seeking their sixth consecutive league victory, but coach Simone Inzaghi must guard against overconfidence. Davide Frattesi, Francesco Acerbi, and Juan Cuadrado are sidelined with injuries for Inter, but there are no suspended players.

Salernitana, on the other hand, are struggling at the bottom of the table with only 13 points. They faced defensive issues in a 3-1 loss to Empoli and are unlikely to challenge Inter at "Meazza". In their previous encounter, Inter defeated Salernitana 4-0, making a home win a strong possibility. Federico Fazio is still recovering from injury, and Domagoj Bradaric is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards.

Prediction: 3-0 (Inter)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Napoli will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Milan when they host Genoa to their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday afternoon. The Neapolitans are eyeing their third consecutive home win and the good news for the hosts is that key attacker Victor Osimhen is back from international duty. Winger Matteo Politano is pushing for a start, while centre-back Juan Jesus is out of contention through suspension.

The Rossoblu, on the other hand, have already suffered six defeats on the road this term and seeing that Napoli defeated the likes of Salernitana and Verona in the previous two home games, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Genoa empty-handed. Koni De Winter is back from suspension, while Ridgeciano Haps misses out with a knee injury.

Prediction: 2-0 (Napoli)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi will host Saturday’s Serie A game between Verona and Juventus, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Verona have a chance to escape the relegation zone and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the “Old Lady”. Midfielder Tomas Suslov is back from suspension, while goalkeeper Alessandro Berardi remains on the sidelines with a shoulder problem.

Juve, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Inter and Udinese. Massimiliano Allegri’s men failed to impress in the last league match and, as a result, Inter are on the right track to win Scudetto. Anyhow, away win should be considered as key attacker Dusan Vlahovic returned to training on Tuesday.

Prediction: 0-1 (Juventus)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Atalanta will be aiming to extend their winning run in the Serie A to five games when they take on Sassuolo in the Serie A round 25. The Orobici have been scoring goals for fun of late and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against the Neroverdi. The good news for the hosts is that Nigeria forward Ademola Lookman is back from international duty, while midfielder Ederson is back from suspension.

The visitors, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. As Sassuolo are on a four-game losing run in the Italian top flight, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Atalanta. You should bear in mind that Atalanta emerged triumphant in each of the previous eight meetings with Sassuolo (all competitions) in Bergamo.

Prediction: 2-1 (Atalanta)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Cagliari, Lazio will be aiming to climb to the Conference League berth when they take on Bologna on Matchday 25. The Biancocelesti are eyeing their seventh home win of the process, but they will have to showcase their quality on the field. Nicolo Rovella returns from suspension, while both Matias Vecino and Alessio Romagnoli is banned for the match. As always, veteran striker Ciro Immobile will lead the line for the hosts.

The Rossoblu, on the other hand, rolled over Lecce 4-0 at the weekend, but given their ups and downs on the road, the share of spoils is on the cards in Rome. Defender Adama Soumaoro remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last three meetings in all competitions.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

There will be fireworks when Empoli and Fiorentina take on each other in Derby Stracittadino on Sunday afternoon. The Azzurri picked up vital three points from the Salernitana game, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to avoid relegation. Both Niang and Cancellieri are pushing for a start after the duo got their names on the scoresheet in the last league match, while both Francesco Caputo and Tyronne Ebuehi remain in the recovery room.

The Viola, on the other hand, hammered Frosinone 5-1 at the weekend to keep their Champions League hopes alive. Fiorentina, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of collecting more than one point from the local derby.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Udinese will look to continue their positive momentum against Cagliari in Serie A round 25 after a historic 1-0 victory over Juventus. The Zebrette are still in a precarious position in the league standings, making Sunday's match crucial for them. Roberto Pereyra returns from suspension, but Vivaldo, Enzo Ebosse, and Gerard Deulofeu are sidelined with injuries.

Cagliari, on the other hand, are struggling with a four-game losing streak in Serie A. They faced defensive issues in their recent 3-1 defeat to Lazio and are unlikely to pose a threat to Udinese at Stadio Friuli. Key players such as Suleman Kakari, Marco Mancosu, Eldor Shomurodov, and Marko Rog are expected to be unavailable due to injuries. Udinese dominated their last meeting with Cagliari at Stadio Friuli, winning 5-1.

Prediction: 2-1 (Udinese)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Following a massive 5-1 loss at Fiorentina, Frosinone will look to give fans some cheer when they take on AS Roma in the Serie A round 25. The Canarini have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding 17 goals in total in the previous five league matches and it is no wonder the bookies see them as underdogs in Sunday’s encounter. Simone Romagnoli serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while all Riccardo Marchizza, Anthony Oyono, Kevin Bonifazi, and Sergio Kalaj remain in the recovery room.

Prediction: 0-1 (AS Roma)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sunday's football match at Brianteo will feature Monza and AC Milan, two friendly football clubs. Monza has been unbeaten in their last three league matches, giving fans optimism for their upcoming game against the Italian giants. Unfortunately, Samuele Vignato and Gianluca Caprari will be unable to play due to injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

On the other hand, AC Milan aims to continue their winning streak after victories over Frosinone and Napoli. Considering that Monza's style of play suits them, it is tempting to bet on Stefano Pioli's team. Davide Calabria has joined the injured list alongside Fikayo Tomori, Tommaso Pobega, and Pierre Kalulu. It is widely expected that Alessandro Florenzi will replace Calabria in the starting lineup. Milan previously defeated Monza 3-0 in the first half of the season, further strengthening the case for betting on the visiting side.

Prediction: 0-2 (Milan)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

All eyes will be on Parc Olympique Lyonnais when Lyon and Nice square off against each other in the opening match of the Ligue 1 round 22. Les Gones are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for Pierre Sage’s troops. Corentin Tolisso limped off with injury in the last league match, with Orel Mangala likely to step up. Jake O’Brien serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

Les Aiglons, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Monaco, but despite the defeat, they are still sitting in second place in the standings. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both Lyon and Nice have been involved in some high-scoring games of late.

Prediction: 2-2 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Following a 3-1 loss to PSG, Lille will look to return to winning ways in the Ligue 1 when they take on Le Havre on Matchday 22. Les Dogues are a real force to be reckoned with at home, with the team eyeing their eighth win at Stade Pierre-Mauroy and they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash as well. All Andrej Ilic, Samuel Umtiti, Ivan Cavaleiro, and Bafode Diakite are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.

Les Ciel et Marine, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to Strasbourg in the Coupe de France, while failing to grab something from the Ligue 1 clash with Rennes. As Lille do not suit Le Havre, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty

Prediction: 2-1 (Lille)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Stade de la Beaujoire will be the centre of attention when Nantes and PSG lock horns in a highly-anticipated Ligue 1 game. Les Canaris aim to build on a 2-1 win over Toulouse which saw them put an end to their six-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against les Parisiens. Douglas Augusto is back from suspension, while both Simon and Moutoussamy return from international duty.

The reigning champions, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Lille and given Nantes three-match losing run at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the league leaders. All Layvin Kurzawa, Milan Skriniar, Sergio Rico, Nuno Mendes, and Presnel Kimpembe are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.

Prediction: 0-2 (PSG)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Strasbourg will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to PSG and Lens when they take on Lorient in the Ligue 1 round 22. Le Racing have been struggling at the back of late, but Sunday’s matinee could be the turning point for the home side. Midfielder Ibrahima Sissoko serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while all Gameiro, Sahi Dion, Gabriel, Doukoure, Sebas, and Mothiba are sidelined with injuries.

Les Merlus, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Metz and Reims. Lorient are eager to escape the relegation zone and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on over 2.5 goals. Tiemoue Bakayoko is pushing for a start, while fellow midfielder Formose Mendy is banned for the match.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Monaco will be aiming to build on a 3-2 win over Nice when they take on Toulouse at Stade Louis II. Les Rouges et Blancs are eager to represent France in the Champions League next term and, no doubt, the round 21 triumph gave them a confidence boost. The good news for the hosts is that defender Wilfried Singo is back from the international duty, while all Wissam Ben Yedder, Aleksandr Golovin, and Soungoutou Magassa are banned for the match.

Les Pitchouns, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating both Metz and Reims, while losing to Lens and Nantes. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Monaco looked sharp in front of goal in the triumph over Nice. As for the away team, Gabriel Suazo misses out through suspension, while both Denis Genreau and Zakaria Aboukhlal are sidelined with injuries

Prediction: 2-0 (Monaco)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Following three consecutive defeats in all competitions, Montpellier will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Ligue 1 when they take on Metz on Matchday 22. La Paillade have been struggling at the back of late, but it seems as they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the national championship. Silvan Hefti limped off with injury in a 2-1 loss to Lyon, with Enzo Tchato likely to replace him in the starting XI.

All Axel Gueguin, Khalil Fayad, and Christopher Jullien are all out of contention with injuries. Les Grenats, on the other hand, have suffered seven defeats in the previous eight league matches, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. Both Kevin N’Dorma and Ablie Jallow are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.

Prediction: 2-0 (Montpellier)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Rennes will be looking to extend their winning run to nine games in all competitions when they take on Clermont in the Ligue 1 round 22. Les Rouges et Blancs have been scoring goals for fun in 2024 and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play. Keep in mind, though, that both Arnaud Kalimuendo and Bertug Yildirim are banned for the match.

Les Lanciers, meanwhile, suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Lille in their last away game, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. Forward Elba Rashani is banned for the match, while midfielder Cheick Oumar Konate misses out with an ankle problem. Shamar Nicholson is widely expected to lead the line for the away team. In their last meeting at the venue Rennes defeated Clermont 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.

Prediction: 2-1 (Rennes)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Stade Auguste-Delaune will host Sunday’s football game between Reims and Lens, the two top-table sides. Les Rouges et Blancs aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Toulouse and Lorient, but they will have a big fish to fry against the in-form visitors. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Oumar Diakite is back to contention after winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast. Defender Thibault De Smet is sidelined through suspension, while both Atangana Edoa and Maxime Busi are out of contention through injuries.

Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the French top flight. As Lens have improved offensively of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sunday's football match between Brest and Marseille will conclude the 22nd round of Ligue 1. Brest, known as Les Pirates, have had three consecutive draws in their recent league matches, showing their ability to compete with Marseille, especially when playing on home turf. However, they will face the match without the services of goalkeeper Marco Bizot and midfielder Mahdi Camara, who are both serving suspensions. Furthermore, Jordan Amavi and Martin Satriano will be absent due to injuries.

Marseille, on the other hand, are determined to break their five-game winless streak in the French top flight. However, considering Brest's impressive form, it is believed that there is value in betting on a draw for fans and punters worldwide. Defender Chancel Mbemba will be back from international duty, providing a boost to Marseille's defense. Unfortunately, centre-back Samuel Gigot will be unavailable due to suspension. Additionally, Jordan Veretout, Amir Murillo, Bilal Nadir, Geoffrey Kondogbia, and Valentin Rongier are all sidelined with injuries.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Koln will face Werder Bremen at RheinEnergieStadion in the first match of Bundesliga round 22. Koln has been unbeaten in their last three league games, but they need to start winning consistently if they want to climb out of the relegation zone. Julian Chabot will miss the game due to a one-game suspension for accumulating yellow cards. Max Finkgrafe, Justin Diehl, Timo Hubers, Davie Selke, Luca Waldschmidt, and Mark Uth are all injured and unavailable for selection.

On the other hand, Werder Bremen failed to extend their winning streak to four games as they lost to Heidenheim in their last league match. As Koln is desperate for a win to improve their position, it is believed that betting on Timo Schulz's team would be a good option for punters around the world. However, Werder Bremen has their own injury concerns, with Naby Keita and Leonardo Bittencourt doubtful for the match.

Prediction: 1-0 (Koln)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Following a goalless draw with Borussia M’gladbach, Darmstadt will look to put an end to their 14-game winless run when they take on Stuttgart in the Bundesliga round 22. The Lilywhites are stuck at the bottom with only 12 points on their account and they are likely to go all guns blazing at die Schwaben. Darmstadt have been struggling in front of goal of late and it is no wonder the bookies see them as underdogs in Saturday’s encounter. As both Tim Skarke and Matej Maglica are banned for the match, home win should not be considered.

Stuttgart, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the German top flight and given their excellent goal-scoring form, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. In the first half of the season Stuttgart defeated Darmstadt 3-1.

Prediction: 0-2 (Stuttgart)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

After rolling over Bayern Munich 3-0 in the Bundesliga derby, Bayer Leverkusen will look to retain top position in the standings when they take on Heidenheim on Matchday 22. The BayArena outfit are on the right track to win their first Bundesliga trophy, but Liverpool target Xabi Alonso must warn his men against complacency. Odilon Kossounou is back from international duty, while all Exequiel Palacios, Victor Boniface, and Arthur are sidelined with injuries.

Heidenheim, on the other hand, did well to shock Werder Bremen on the road in their last league fixture, with the team moving closer to the Conference League berth. Bayer Leverkusen, though, are more of a team than Heidenheim and we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. All Exequiel Palacios, Victor Boniface, and Arthur are out of contention with injuries for the league leaders.

Prediction: 1-3 (Bayer)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Hoffenheim will be aiming to put an end to their seven-game winless run when they take on Union Berlin in the Bundesliga round 22. Hoffenheim are eager to represent Germany in European competitions for yet another season and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the capital club. Andrej Kramaric, who scored a late equalizer against Koln, is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while John Anthony Brooks is back from suspension.

Union Berlin, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Wolfsburg and they managed to get one thanks to Danilho Doekhi’s goal. Nenad Bjelica’s troops, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Hoffenheim’s party at PreZero Arena.

Prediction: 1-0 (Hoffenheim)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

After failing to win the previous four league matches, Mainz will look to return to winning ways in the Bundesliga when they take on Augsburg on Saturday afternoon. The Nullfunfer find themselves mired in the relegation zone with only 12 points to their name. Nonetheless, this presents a prime opportunity for the hosts to get back on course. All Phillipp Mwene, Karim Onisiwo, Stefan Bell, and Nelson Weiper are sidelined with injuries, while Silvan Widmer is a major doubt.

The Bavarians, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league fixtures, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Mainz this time out. Midfielder Dion Beljo is sidelined with injury, while defender Reece Oxford should miss out through illness (COVID-19). Last time out Mainz defeated Augsburg 3-1 at Mewa Arena and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.

Prediction: 2-0 (Mainz)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Volkswagen Arena will be the centre of attention when Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund take on each other in the Bundesliga round 22. The Wolves are on a five-game winless run, but it has to be noted that they failed to turn their dominance into goals in a 1-0 loss to Union Berlin. All Rogerio, Moritz Jenz, Koen Casteels, Aster Vranckx, Tiago Tomas, Patrick Wimmer, and Lukas Nmecha are out of contention with injuries for the home team.

The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, rolled over Freiburg 3-0 in their last league match to stay in the Champions League berth. Borussia Dortmund have recorded four wins in the previous five league games and given Wolfsburg’s poor form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team.

Prediction: 0-1 (Borussia Dortmund)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Leipzig will be aiming to recover from the Champions League loss to Real Madrid when they take on Borussia M’gladbach on Matchday 22. The Red Bulls are eyeing a top-four finish and a win over M’gladbach could see them climb to the Champions League berth. Mali international Amadou Haidara is pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.

Die Fohlen, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game winless run in the national championship, but given their poor away record in the 2023/2024 season, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. All Robin Hack, Jordan Siebatcheu, Tomas Cvancara, Hannes Wolf, and Jonas Omlin are out of contention with injuries for the away team.

Prediction: 3-0 (Leipzig)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Europa-Park Stadion will host Sunday’s football game between Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt, the two teams who are eyeing a spot in European competitions. Freiburg are eager to put an end to their three-game losing run and they are likely to go all guns blazing at die Adler. Merlin Rohl is banned for the match, while all Manuel Gulde, Junior Adamu, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart, Kenneth Schmidt, Max Rosenfelder, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh are sidelined with injuries.

Die Adler, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Bochum in their last league match. Frankfurt and Freiburg seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we predict that they are going to share the spoils in the Bundesliga round 22.

Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sunday’s football match at Vonovia Ruhrstadion pits together Bochum and Bayern Munich, the two sides with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. Bochum’s main goal is to secure the Bundesliga survival, while Bayern are eager to defend their title. Thomas Letsch’s troops shared the spoils with the likes of Augsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt in the previous two league matches, but they are still seen as underdogs in Sunday’s encounter. Matus Bero serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while both Mohammed Tolba and Michael Esser are sidelined with injuries.

The Bavarians, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a heart-breaking 3-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern Munich rolled over Bochum 7-0 at Allianz Arena earlier this term and we predict that the Bundesliga giants will record yet another win over die Blauen this weekend

Prediction: 2-3 (Bayern Munich)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Brentford and Liverpool take on each other at Brentford Community Stadium in the opening match of round 25. The Bees aim to build on a 2-0 win over Wolverhampton, but they will have a big fish to fry against the league leaders. Returnee Ivan Toney has already found his goal-scoring touch, meaning that the opposition back-line should have him at bay. Yoane Wissa is back from international duty, while all Joshua Da Silva, Bryan Mbeumo, Aaron Hickey, and Kevin Schade miss out with injuries.

The Reds, on the other hand, are leading the chase for the Premier League trophy. Liverpool proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Burnley and even though Mohamed Salah is unlikely to recover in time to face the capital club, away win should be considered.

Prediction: 1-2  (Liverpool)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Turf Moor will host Saturday’s football game between Burnley and Arsenal, the two teams with totally different ambitions for the remainder of the season. The Clarets are eager to put an end to their six-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the capital club. All Nathan Redmond, Louis Jordan Beyer, and Luca Koleosho are out of contention with injuries for the home side.

The Gunners, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the title race and they must be high on confidence following a splendid 6-0 win over West Ham United. Arsenal are more of a team than Burnley and we predict that Mikel Arteta’s men are going to five fans yet another reason to celebrate this weekend

Prediction: 0-2  (Arsenal)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Fulham and Aston Villa take on each other at Craven Cottage in an eagerly-awaited Premier League game. The Cottagers aim to build on a 3-1 win over Bournemouth, but this game will be anything but they will have a big fish to fry against the Villans. Both Bassey and Iwobi are back from the international duty, but the duo is unlikely to start. Important attacker Raul Jimenez misses out with injury.

The visitors, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Manchester United. As Unai Emery’s troops are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. All Boubacar Kamara, Ezri Konsa, Jhon Duran, and Emiliano Buendia are out of contention with injuries, while Moussa Diaby is pushing for a recall to the starting XI

Prediction: 2-2  (Draw)

Buoyed by a 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. The Magpies have been scoring goals for fun of late and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win this match. Fit-again forward Harvey Barnes is likely to start from the bench once again, while experienced forward Callum Wilson should be fit for the match.

The Cherries, meanwhile, failed to impress in a 3-1 defeat to Fulham and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Newcastle’s party at St James’ Park. Philip Billing is banned for the match, while all Max Aarons, Darren Randolph, Ryan Fredericks, Tyler Adams, and James Hill are out of contention with injuries

Prediction: 2-1  (Newcastle)

Saturday’s football game at the City Ground pits together Nottingham Forest and West Ham United, the two teams who were beaten by Newcastle United and Arsenal respectively at the weekend. The Reds are eager to put an end to their four-game winless run and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against West Ham. All Sangare, Boly, and Aina are back from international duty, while both Chris Wood and Gonzalo Montiel are out of contention with injuries.

The Hammers, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the 6-0 loss to Arsenal, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home team

Following a come-from-behind win over Brighton, Tottenham will be aiming to stay in the Champions League berth when they take on Wolverhampton in London. Spurs are eyeing their tenth home win of the process and the good news for the hosts is that key player Heung-Min Son is back from international duty. Both Ryan Sessegnon and Manor Salomon continue to miss out with injuries.

The Wolves, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Brentford, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Tottenham, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. In the first half of the season Wolverhampton defeated the capital club, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.

Prediction: 2-1  (Tottenham)

Manchester City and Chelsea take on each other at Etihad Stadium in what is expected to be the most entertaining game of Saturday’s program. The Citizens survived Everton in their last league match and, no doubt, they need to improve their game if they are to defend the Premier League trophy. Pep Guardiola should have a full squad to choose from, but recently-recovered midfielder Kevin De Bruyne could be given a rest following his appearance in the Champions League clash against Copenhagen.

The Blues, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace. Mauro Pochettino’s men are eager to move closer to the Europa League berth, but given Man City’s excellent winning run

Prediction: 3-1  (Man City)

Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Luton Town, Sheffield United will look to keep their survival hopes alive when they take on Brighton in the Premier League round 25. The Blades desperately needed a win against the Hatters and they managed to get one, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to avoid relegation. Rhys Norrington-Davies should be fit for Sunday’s clash despite limping off with injury in the triumph over Luton.

The Seagulls, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Tottenham and given their attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals.

Prediction: 2-2 (Draw)

Luton Town will be aiming to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Sheffield United when they take on Manchester United in an eagerly-awaited Premier League game. The Blades have been involved in some high-scoring games of late, with the team obviously struggling at the back. As Luton conceded seven goals in total in the previous two league matches, home win should not be considered.

The Red Devils, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth consecutive win in all competitions and we predict that they will take advantage of Luton Town’s shaky defence. Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

Prediction: 2-3 (Manchester United)

Monday’s football game between Everton and Crystal Palace will bring down the curtain on the Premier League round 25. The Toffees suffered a 2-0 loss to Man City at the weekend, but their display in the Etihad Stadium clash was anything but poor. Ben Godfrey should be fit for the match despite limping off with injury against Man City.

The Eagles, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Chelsea and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Everton’s party at Goodison Park. Crystal Palace’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes f Marc Guehi, Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze, Rob Holding, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, and Nathan Ferguson. When the two teams met in the FA Cup last month Everton defeated Palace 1-0 thanks to Andre Gomes’ goal and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.

Prediction: 2-0 (Everton)

PSV and Borussia Dortmund will face off in an exciting Champions League match at the Philips Stadion, marking their first meeting in the competition since 2002. PSV, under the guidance of Peter Bosz, are in good form, having secured consecutive victories against Volendam and Heracles. They are expected to maintain their attacking style of play. However, they will be without Noa Lang, who is sidelined with a long-term injury, and Johan Bakayoko, who is racing against time to regain fitness.

On the other hand, Edin Terzic's Dortmund team will have to cope with Sebastien Haller's absence, and this Africa Cup of Nations winner will undoubtedly be missed in the upcoming clash. Given PSV's strong home record at the Philips Stadion, we predict that Dortmund will leave empty-handed. Additionally, Nmecha, Duranville, and Adeyemi will also be unavailable due to injuries.

Prediction: 2-1 (PSV)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Stadio Giuseppe Meazza will be the centre of attention when Inter and Atletico Madrid square off against each other in the Champions League last 16, first leg. Inter are on the right track to win Scudetto, but they want to go all the way in the elite competition as well. Defender Francesco Acerbi remains on the sidelines with injury, while Juan Cuadrado and Stefano Sensi are ineligible to face los Rojiblancos.

Diego Simeone’s troops, on the other hand, head into the match following a thrilling 5-0 win over Las Palmas, but they will have a big fish to fry in Tuesday’s clash. As Inter are on an eight-game winning run in all competitions, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Madrid empty-handed. As for the visiting side, both Axel Witsel and Rodrigo de Paul are pushing for a start, while all Cesar Azpilicueta, Gabriel Paulista, Thomas Lemar, and Alvaro Morata are out of contention with injuries.

Prediction: 2-1 (Inter)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea, Man City will look to return to winning ways when they take on Brentford in a postponed Premier League game. The Citizens are eager to melt Liverpool’s advantage to only one point and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the capital club. Both Jack Grealish and Josko Guardiol remain in the recovery room, while Bernardo Silva should be recalled to the starting XI. As always, Erling Haaland will lead the line for the title hopefuls.

The Bees, meanwhile, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Liverpool and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Man City’s party at Etihad Stadium. A man to keep an eye on in the visiting team will be Ivan Toney, who has been scoring goals for fun ever since he returned from a long-term ban, while all Joshua Da Silva, Aaron Hickey, and Kevin Schade are out of contention with injuries.

Prediction: 3-1 (Man City)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Liverpool and Luton Town go head to head at Anfield in a postponed Premier League game. The Reds are eager to retain top position in the standings, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. The good news for the hosts is that fit-again ace Mohamed Salah returns to the starting XI, while Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones have joined Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, and Dominik Szoboszlai in the recovery room.

The Hatters are sitting in 17th place in the table, only one point clear of the relegation zone and given their shaky defence, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Earlier in the process the two sides played out a 1-1 draw at Kenilworth Road, but we are tempted to bet on the in-form hosts this time out. As for the away team, Tom Lockyer misses out through illness, while both Mads Juel Andersen and Marvelous Nakamba are out of contention through injuries.

Prediction: 4-2 (Liverpool)

Anticipate an intense atmosphere at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona as Napoli faces Barcelona in a highly-anticipated Champions League match. Napoli had a setback with a 1-1 draw against Genoa, but they welcome back Victor Osimhen from international duty, boosting their attacking power. They have no new injury concerns going into Wednesday's showdown.

Barcelona, on the other hand, managed to overcome Celta Vigo, but winning against Napoli at a packed "Diego Maradona" stadium is a challenging task. Considering all factors, a draw appears to be a valuable bet. Barcelona's midfield maestro, Ilkay Gundogan, and Brazilian winger Raphinha are pushing for a starting role. However, Marcos Alonso, Gavi, Joao Felix, Sergi Roberto, Ferran Torres, and Alejandro Balde are all ruled out due to injuries.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

All eyes will be on Estadio do Dragao when Porto and Arsenal lock horns in the Champions League last 16, first leg. The Dragons quickly bounced back from a shocking 3-2 loss to Arouca, with the team beating Estrela 2-0 in their last league match, but they will have a mountain to climb against the in-form Gunners. Zaidu has joined Ivan Marcano in the recovery room, with Jorge Sanchez likely to sneak into the starting XI.

Mikel Arteta’s men, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run in all competitions. As Arsenal looked sharp in front of goal in back-to-back wins over West Ham United (6-0) and Burnley (5-0), we are tempted to place our bets on the Premier League outfit.

Prediction: 0-1 (Arsenal)

A place in the Europa League last 16 will be at stake when Freiburg and Lens square off against each other at Europa-Park Stadion on Thursday afternoon. Freiburg have been scoring goals for fun at home of late and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-oriented approach against Lens. Austria forward Michael Gregoritsch is pushing for a start, while Merlin Rohl is back from the domestic ban.

Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, failed to impress in a goalless draw with Freiburg in the first leg, with the team taking only one shot on target and given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Bundesliga outfit. As for the Ligue 1 side, defender Facundo Medina returns from suspension, while both Jimmy Cabot and Deiver Machado remain on the sidelines with injuries

Prediction: 2-1 (Freiburg)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Braga will be aiming to overcome a two-goal deficit in the tie with Qarabag when the two teams face each other at Tofiq Bahramov Stadium on Thursday afternoon. The Primeira Liga outfit experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the 4-2 loss to Qarabag a week ago, but they should not be written off just. Key player Ricardo Horta, though, remains on the sidelines with heart problems, which is probably the main reason why away win should not be considered.

Both Adrian Marin and Bruma are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. The hosts, on the other hand, are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the second leg and, taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. The good news for the hosts is that Montenegro international Marko Vesovic is back from suspension.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Rennes and Milan are set to face off in an exciting second leg of the Europa League last 32 at Roazhon Park. Rennes will have a tough challenge ahead, as they need to overturn a three-goal deficit in front of their home fans. One player to watch out for in the Rennes team is Martin Terrier, who scored two goals in their recent 3-1 victory over Clermont. Additionally, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Bertug Yildirim will be available for selection after serving their suspensions.

On the other hand, Milan is expected to take a defensive approach in this fixture. Considering all factors, it is believed that the match will see fewer than 2.5 goals. Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao, and Olivier Giroud are expected to return to the starting lineup after being rested in their 4-2 loss against Monza. Unfortunately, Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori, Tommaso Pobega, and Pierre Kalulu are sidelined due to injuries.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Stadium Municipal will host Thursday’s Europa League game between Toulouse and Benfica. The Lisbon Eagles aim to defend their slim lead in the return leg and they must be high on confidence following a thrilling 6-1 win over Vizela. The good news for the hosts is that both Florentino and Kokcu are back from the domestic bans, while Angel Di Maria returns to the starting XI after the Argentina ace was rested in the last league match.

Les Pitchouns, on the other hand, have no other choice but to adopt an attack-minded approach in the return leg. Teenage defender Christian Mawissa Elebi is banned for the match, while both Denis Genreau and Zakaria Aboukhlal remain on the sidelines with injuries. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Benfica will have a number of opportunities to seal the triumph on the break.

When Roma and Feyenoord meet at Stadio Olimpico in an exciting Europa League match, fireworks are expected. Roma's recent 3-0 victory over Frosinone in Serie A has fans optimistic for the upcoming game. Defender Chris Smalling is fit to play for Roma, but midfielder Edoardo Bove is suspended.

Feyenoord narrowly won their last Eredivisie match against RKC Waalwijk, with Mats Wieffer scoring a late goal. Despite their strong away record, beating Roma in Rome will be a tough challenge. Overall, a draw is predicted for Thursday's match. Feyenoord will be without Bijlow, Jahanbakhsh, Trauner, Zechiel, and van den Belt due to injuries.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

A spot in the Europa League last 16 will be at stake when Olympique Marseille and Shakhtar Donetsk take on each other at Stade Velodrome on Thursday. OM do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the previous seven games in all competitions, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Miners in front of home fans. Experienced midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Samuel Gigot is back from the domestic ban. Ismaila Sarr returns from suspension as well, but Leonardo Balerdi is banned for the match.

The Ukrainians, on the other hand, came from behind to share the spoils with Marseille in the first leg, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry at Stade Velodrome as Gennaro Gattuso’s troops have turned their stadium into a real fortress.

Prediction: 2-1 (Marseille)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sparta Prague and Galatasaray are set to clash at epet Arena in the Europa League last 32 return leg, promising an exciting match. Galatasaray, on a ten-game winning streak, will defend their slim lead from the first leg. Wilfried Zaha is likely to start after a strong performance as a substitute in their recent win, but Victor Nelsson is suspended and Hakim Ziyech is injured.

Sparta Prague must win Thursday's match and are expected to give their all on the field. With both teams in good form, a both teams to score bet is worth considering. Sparta will be without Birmancevic, Rynes, and Krejci due to bans.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Sporting CP will look to seal their spot in the Europa League last 16 when they take on Young Boys at Estadio Jose Alvalade on Thursday evening. The Lions proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Young Boys in Bern and, as a result, they are with one foot in the next round. Experienced defender Sebastian Coates is back to contention, but all Diomande, Paulinho, and St. Juste should miss out with injuries.

The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, face an uphill task in the second leg and given Sporting’s excellent home record in the 2023/2024 season, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. To make things even worse for the away team, Guinea defender Mohamed Camara serves a one-game ban following his sending-off in the first leg, while both Loris Benito and Kastriot Imeri remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Torino and Lazio go head to head at Stadio Olimpico di Torino in what is expected to be an interesting Serie A encounter. Il Toro aim to build on a 2-0 win over Lecce and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Thursday’s encounter. All Rodriguez, Buongiorno, and Schuurs remain in the recovery room, while fit-again midfielder Karol Linetty should be recalled to the starting XI.

The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Bologna. As Lazio are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the midweek clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Defender Patric limped off with injury in the last league match, with Nicolo Casale likely to replace him in the starting XI. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last six meetings in the Italian top flight.

David faces Goliath at BayArena as Bayer Leverkusen and Mainz take on each other in the Bundesliga round 23. The league leaders survived Heidenheim at the weekend, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to win their first Bundesliga trophy. Top scorer Victor Boniface remains on the sidelines alongside Arthur and Exequiel Palacios, but there are no fresh injury worries in Xabi Alonso’s team.

Die Nullfunfer, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Augsburg and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their eleven-game winless run. Mainz, though, have been struggling on the travels this term and given their poor away record (0-6-5), anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. All Andreas Hanche-Olsen, Tom Krauss, Edimilison Fernandes, Jonathan Burkardt, Maxim Leitsch, Stefan Bell, and Nelson Weiper are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team.

Prediction: 3-0 (Bayer Leverkusen)

Real Sociedad and Villarreal face each other at Reale Arena in the La Liga round 26 curtain-raiser. La Real did well to beat Mallorca in their last league match, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but the Basques need to keep on making progress if they are to represent Spain in European competitions next term. Mikel Oyarzabal is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from Friday’s game as well. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the cards. All Alejandro Baena, Alexander Sorloth, Ramon Terrats, Juan Foyth, and Denis Suarez are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side.

Saturday’s football game at Amex Stadium pits together Brighton and Everton, the two teams with totally different ambitions for the remainder of the season. Brighton are eyeing a spot in European competitions, while Everton are fighting tooth and nail to avoid relegation. Even though all Solly March, James Milner, Julio Enciso, and Joao Pedro are sidelined with injuries, home win should be considered as Roberto De Zerbi can count on key players for Saturday’s encounter.

The Toffees, on the other hand, came from behind to share the spoils with Crystal Palace on Monday evening, but that did not help them escape the danger zone. As Everton have suffered three defeats in the previous four away games, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. The likes of Arnaut Danjuma, Andre Gomes, and Dele Alli are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team.

Prediction: 2-0 (Brighton)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Following a 1-1 draw with Everton at Goodison Park, Crystal Palace will look to get back on course when they take on Burnley in the Premier League round 26. The Eagles aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. The likes of Doucoure, Eze, Guehi, Holding, Olise, and Rak-Sakyi continue to miss out with injuries, while Will Hughes should recover in time to face the Clarets.

Burnley, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Liverpool (1-3) and Arsenal (0-5), but given their shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. As for the away side, Aaron Ramsey has joined the likes of Nathan Redmond, Louis Jordan Beyer, and Luca Keleosho in the recovery room.

Prediction: 2-1 (Crystal Palace)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Manchester United is on a winning streak and will face Fulham in the Premier League. Luke Shaw is expected to play, but Lisandro Martinez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Antony Martial, and Mason Mount are injured. Fulham recently lost to Aston Villa, so we predict Manchester United will win. Alex Iwobi may return for Fulham, while Joao Palhinha is suspended and Raul Jimenez is still recovering.

Prediction: 3-1 (Manchester United)

Manchester City will be aiming to stay in the title race when they take on Bournemouth on Matchday 26. The Citizens failed to impress in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea at the weekend, but they are still seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s encounter. Bernardo Silva is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Josko Guardiol and Jack Grealish remain in the treatment room.

The Cherries, on the other hand, failed to win the previous six league matches. As Bournemouth have been struggling at the back of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Pep Guardiola’s troops. Philip Billing has yet to serve his ban, while fellow midfielder Romain Faivre should recover in time to face the title holders. All James Hill, Max Aarons, Tyler Adams, and Ryan Fredericks are out of contention with injuries. You should know that Man City are eyeing their 15th consecutive win over Bournemouth in all competitions.

Prediction: 2-3 (Man City)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Arsenal is in good form with big wins over West Ham and Burnley, and will face Newcastle in the Premier League. The Gunners are expected to attack, but it won't be easy against Newcastle. Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Takehiro Tomiyasu should be available for Arsenal.

Newcastle has been involved in high-scoring games recently, with over 2.5 goals in their last seven matches. Callum Wilson, Alexander Isak, Joelinton, Joseph Willock, Matthew Targett, and Elliot Anderson are injured for Newcastle.

Prediction: 3-2 (Arsenal)

Wolverhampton will look to build on a thrilling 2-1 win over Tottenham when they take on Sheffield United in the Premier League round 26. The Wolves quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Brentford, but they do not want to stop now. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Brazil midfielder Joao Gomes, who scored a brace against Spurs, while Matheus Cunha remains on the sidelines with injury.

The Blades, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only 13 points on their account. The rock-bottom side experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-0 loss to Brighton and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Wolverhampton’s party at Molineux Stadium. To make things even more difficult for the relegation strugglers, defender Mason Holgate is banned for the match.

Prediction: 2-1 (Wolves)

Monday’s football game between West Ham United and Brentford will bring down the curtain on the Premier League round 26.

Kalvin Phillips serves a one-game ban, while Lucas Paqueta remains in the recovery room.

The Bees, on the other hand, encountered numerous defensive issues during their 4-1 defeat to Liverpool. As Brentford will go for a win in the local derby as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. All Ethan Pinnock, Aaron Hickey, Rico Henry, Bryan Mbeumo, Kevin Schade, and Joshua Dasilva are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team. In the first half of the season Brentford defeated West Ham 3-2.

Ignasi Miquel is back from suspension, while Gerard Gumbau serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards. Raul Fernandez misses out with a hamstring injury.

Valencia, on the other hand, are eager to move closer to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against Granada. As both sides will go for a win in the round 26 clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Defender Thierry Correia misses out with a thigh problem, while midfielder Andre Almeida faces race against clock to be fit for Saturday’s encounter.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Barcelona, coming off a 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo, will face Getafe in La Liga round 26. Barca aims to secure a Champions League spot and is expected to play aggressively. Robert Lewandowski, who scored two goals in the last match, is a key player to watch. Joao Felix may not be fit in time for the game. Ferran Torres, Sergi Roberto, Alex Balde, and Marcos Alonso are sidelined due to injuries.

Getafe is unbeaten in their last three league matches but has only won one away game this season. It is unlikely that they will disrupt Barcelona's plans at Camp Nou. Jordi Martin is uncertain to play, while Mauro Arambarri is out with an ACL injury.

Prediction: 2-0 (Barcelona)

Expert: Footballpredictions-website

Deportivo Alaves will look to put an end to their three-game winless run when they face Mallorca in the La Liga round 26. The Basques produced a fine performance in a goalless draw with Real Betis at the weekend, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s game. Defender Aleksandar Sedlar remains on the sidelines with an ACL injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.

Los Bermellones, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Real Sociedad and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Both Antonio Raillo and Siebe Van Der Heyden are banned for the match, while fellow defender Pablo Maffeo is sidelined with a knee injury. In the first half of the season the two sides played out a goalless draw.

Prediction: 1-0 (Alaves)

Almeria will face Atletico Madrid at Power Horse Stadium in a crucial Primera Division match. Almeria is fighting to avoid relegation, while Atletico Madrid aims for a top-four finish. Almeria has not won a game this season and faces a tough challenge against Atletico. Despite the return of Leo Baptistao and Largie Ramazani from suspension, a home win is unlikely.

Atletico Madrid, coming off a 5-0 win against Las Palmas, is in good form. With Alvaro Morata leading the attack, they are favored to win against Almeria. Thomas Lemar and Cesar Azpilicueta are injured, but Morata is back in the starting lineup after recovering from a knee injury.

Cadiz will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Real Betis and Osasuna when they take on Celta Vigo in the La Liga round 26. The Yellow Submarine are eager to put an end to their five-game goalless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Os Celeste. Jorge Mere limped off with injury in the last league match, with Sergio Guardiola likely to step up, while Lucas Pires serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

The Galicians, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Getafe and Barcelona and given their difficulties at the back, we are tempted to place our bets on Cadiz. Both Mihailo Ristic and Javier Manquillo continue to miss out through injuries, while defender Oscar Mingueza is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

Real Betis and Athletic Bilbao will clash at Estadio Benito Villamarin in a crucial match on Matchday 26.

However, key players like Marc Roca, Juan Miranda, and Sokratis are suspended, while Isco is still recovering from an injury.

Athletic Bilbao, coming off a thrilling 3-2 win against Girona, are aiming for a Champions League spot. With several players missing for Real Betis, we predict that Athletic Bilbao will come out victorious. Inigo Lekue is injured, and Oscar de Marcos may take his place in the starting lineup. Ander Herrera is also sidelined with a hamstring issue.

Estadio de Gran Canaria will host Sunday’s Primera Division game between Las Palmas and Osasuna, the two mid-table teams. La Union Deportiva aim to recover from a massive 5-0 loss to Atletico Madrid, with the team eyeing their seventh home win of the process. Alberto Moleiro could sneak into the starting XI, while fellow midfielder Maximo Perrone serves a one-game ban. Eric Curbelo is a major doubt and the defender will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

Los Rojillos, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Real Sociedad and Cadiz. Osasuna have been having their ups and downs on the road this season and, taking everything into account, they should be happy with one point from the match. David Garcia serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while Jose Manuel Arnaiz misses out with a thigh problem.

Real Madrid will look to cement top position in the standings when they take on Sevilla in the La Liga round 26. Los Blancos are leading the chase for their 36th league title, but boss Carlo Ancelotti must warn his men against complacency. Even though both Dani Carvajal and Eduardo Camavinga are banned for the match, home win should be considered as Sevilla struggle on the road. The likes of Jude Bellingham, Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, and Eder Militao remain in the recovery room.

Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, played out a boring goalless draw with Valencia at the weekend and given their poor away record in the 2023/2024 season, we predict that the league leaders are going to pick up all three points from Sunday’s showdown. As for the Andalusian outfit, all Rafa Mir, Erik Lamela, and Lucas Ocampos remain in the recovery room, while Nemanja Gudelj is rated doubtful for the match.

Prediction: 1-0 (Real Madrid)

Girona play host to Rayo Vallecano at their Estadio Municipal de Montilivi on day 26 of the current La Liga campaign. The Catalans faced a tough fixture list in mid-February, with the team losing to both Real Madrid and Athletic Club on the road, but they are surely capable of beating los Vallecanos in front of home fans. The good news for the hosts is that defender Yan Couto is back from suspension, while both Joel Roca Casals and Daley Blind are sidelined with injuries.

The capital club, on the other hand, are on a six-game winless run in the Spanish top flight, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the title-chasing hosts. Isi Palazon serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while both Pep Cahvarria and Diego Mendez are rated doubtful for the match.

Bologna will face Verona at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in Serie A Round 26. Bologna is in great form, aiming for their fifth consecutive win with an attacking style of play. Switzerland midfielder Remo Freuler returns from suspension, but defender Adama Soumaoro may not play.

Verona has struggled in their last five matches, losing four of their last five away games. With Bologna's strong form, a home win is expected. Forward Juan Manuel Cruz is the only likely absentee for Verona. In their previous meeting in the Coppa Italia in October 2023, Bologna won 2-0 against Verona.

Prediction: 2-0 (Bologna)

Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore will host the relegation six-pointer between Sassuolo and Empoli. The Neroverdi aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to Atalanta, but their current form is not fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s encounter. Fit-again forward Gregoire Defrel is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while all Martin Erlic, Domenico Berardi, Jeremy Toljan, and Pedro Mba Obiang are out of contention with injuries.

The Azzurri, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous five league matches and that is the main reason why we predict they are going to grab something from the Sassuolo clash. Midfielder Quartsin Gyasi is banned for the match, while both Francesco Caputo and Tyronne Ebuehi are sidelined with injuries, speaking of the visiting side. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.

After a winless streak of seven Serie A games, Salernitana will face Monza in Round 26. Despite a recent loss to Inter, Salernitana remains in the relegation zone. The home team is missing key players Lorenzo Pirola, Federico Fazio, and Norbert Gyomber due to injuries.

Monza, coming off a 4-2 victory against AC Milan, will try to continue their winning momentum. However, their poor away record suggests they may struggle to secure more than a point at Stadio Arechi. Goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio's injury could see Alessandro Sorrentino taking his place for the away side.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Borussia M'gladbach will aim to end their winless streak when they face Bochum after a loss to Leipzig. They are without key players Elvedi and Itakura, with several others sidelined due to injuries.

Bochum, despite a recent win against Bayern Munich, struggle away from home. With Losilla suspended and multiple players injured, the hosts have an advantage in this relegation battle.

Prediction: 2-0 (Monchengladbach)

Stuttgart will look to extend their winning run to five games when they take on Koln in the Bundesliga round 23. Die Schwaben continue where they left in the first half of the season and they are seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s clash as well. Defender Pascal Stenzel serves a one-game ban, but seeing that fit-again top scorer Serhou Guirassy has already found his goal-scoring touch, home win should be considered. The likes of Deniz Undav, Alexander Nubel, Anthony Rouault, Dan-Axel Zagadou, and Nikolas Nartey remain in the treatment room.

The Billy Goats, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Werder Bremen and given their difficulties on the road, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. As for the away team, Faride Alidou is a major doubt, while all Davie Selke, Luca Waldschmidt, and Mark Uth are out of contention with injuries.

Prediction: 3-0 (Stuttgart)

In-form Union Berlin will try to extend their winning run in Bundesliga to three games when they take on Heidenheim on Matchday 23. The capital club have been impressive at the back of late and they are likely to rely on their solid defence in Saturday’s game as well. Rani Khedira has joined Andras Schafer in the recovery room, while both Kevin Volland and Diogo Leite are banned for the match.

Heidenheim, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen. Frank Schmidt’s troops are stuck in the middle of the table and given Union Berlin’s signs of improvement in February; home win should definitely be considered. Both Thomas Keller and Elidon Qenaj are out of contention with injuries, while Denis Thomalla is a major doubt (illness) and the forward will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

Prediction: 2-0 (Union Berlin)

Werder Bremen, coming off a draw against Koln, will face Darmstadt in hopes of securing a win. They aim to qualify for European competitions next season and are expected to be aggressive against Darmstadt. Keita and Njinmah may not play, while Pavlenka, Stark, Veljkovic, Pieper, and Opitz are injured.

Darmstadt, struggling at the bottom with 12 points, have a poor away record. The prediction is that Werder Bremen will win, especially considering their previous victory over Darmstadt. Both teams have key players sidelined due to injuries.

Prediction: 2-1 (Werder Bremen)

All eyes will be on Allianz Arena when Bayern Munich and Leipzig square off against each other in the Bundesliga derby. Bayern Munich suffered a shocking 3-2 loss to Bochum at the weekend and, as a result, they are eight points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the standings. Boss Thomas Tuchel is under big pressure ahead of Saturday’s derby and we are positive that his men will leave their hearts on the field this time out. A man to watch in the home team will be Harry Kane, who scored his 25th goal of the season against Bochum while Dayot Upamecano serves a one-game ban.

All Kingsley Coman, Alphonso Davies, Serge Gnabry, and Noussair Mazraoui remain in the recovery room. The Red Bulls, on the other hand, recorded a routine 2-0 win over Borussia M’gladbach on Matchday 23, but beating Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.

Prediction: 2-2 (draw)

Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolfsburg take on each other at Deutsche Bank Park in what is expected to be a close Bundesliga encounter. Die Adler are eager to put an end to their three-game winless run, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Sasa Kalajdzic has joined the likes of Hugo Larsson and Mehdi Loune in the recovery room, with Ansgar Knauff likely to replace the Austria forward in the starting XI.

The Wolves, on the other hand, are eyeing their first league win since December 16, 2023. As the visitors are eager to get back on course in the national championship as well, we are going to put our money on both teams to score. As for the visiting side, experienced midfielder Yannick Gerhardt is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund, while all Mattias Svanberg, Rogerio, and Tiago Tomas remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Following a 1-1 draw with Wolfsburg, Borussia Dortmund will look to start a new winning run in the Bundesliga when they take on Hoffenheim on Matchday 23. The Yellow-Blacks are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Algeria international Ramy Bensebaini is back to contention, while Donyell Malen faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s encounter.

Hoffenheim, on the other hand, produced an under-par performance in a 1-0 loss to relegation-threatened Union Berlin, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered this time out. To make things even worse for the visiting side, Stanley Nsoki serves a one-game ban, while Grischa Promel has joined the likes of Mergim Berisha, Marco John, and Marius Bulter on the sidelines. Wout Weghorst is widely expected to replace Promel in the starting XI.

Prediction: 3-1 (Borussia Dortmund)

Sunday’s football game between Augsburg and Freiburg will bring down the curtain on the Bundesliga round 23. The Bavarians are eager to put an end to their four-match winless run, but they face a tough challenge against Christian Streich’s troops. Both Jeffrey Gouweleeuw and Mads Pedersen are banned for the match, while the likes of Dion Beljo, Reece Oxford, Fredik Jensen, and Patric Pfeiffer continue to miss out with injuries.

Freiburg, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the previous four league fixtures. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards as Augsburg and Freiburg seem to be evenly matched at the moment. All Yannik Keitel, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart, Kenneth Schmidt, Max Rossenfelder, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh remain in the recovery room. Austria forward Michael Gregoritsch is widely expected to return to the starting XI.

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Sassuolo and Napoli face each other at Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore in a postponed Serie A game. The Neroverdi are eager to put an end to their six-game winless run, but they will have a big fish to fry in Wednesday’s encounter. Domenico Berardi is sidelined with injury, while Martin Erlic will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

The Partenopei, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Cagliari. Napoli are eager to return to winning ways in the Italian top flight and we predict that they are going to take advantage of Sassuolo’s shaky defence. A man to keep an eye in the away team will be Victor Osimhen, who is eager to find his goal-scoring touch following his participation at the Africa Cup of Nations. The good news for the visiting side is that defender Giovanni Di Lorenzo returns from suspension.

Prediction: 1-2 (Napoli)

Inter and Atalanta are set to face off at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in a Serie A showdown. Inter, currently at the top of the standings, are looking to continue their winning streak led by Lautaro Martinez. Atalanta, aiming for a Champions League spot, are facing no new injury concerns and have Ademola Lookman and Davide Zappacosta back in the starting lineup. Despite a recent draw, Inter are the favorites in this match.

Prediction: 1-0 (Inter)

Stadio Olimpico will be the centre of attention when Lazio and AC Milan square off against each other in the opening match of the Serie A round 27. The Biancocelesti aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Fiorentina and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Rossoneri. Fit-again midfielder Mattia Zaccagni is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Patric and Nicolo Rovella are out of contention through injuries.

Stefano Pioli’s men, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Atalanta in their last league match. Milan are eager to stay in the Champions League berth, but beating Lazio in “the Eternal City” is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on draw. Serbia forward Luka Jovic is banned for the visiting side, while midfielder Tommaso Pobega has yet to overcome a hamstring injury

Prediction: 1-1 (draw)
