Sheffield United vs Nottingham Forest
Sheffield United
They degraded from EPL in last season. To come back to EPL, they try their best this season. Now they rank the seventh in the table of the League. They play well as host, with 73% unbeaten rate. They get a two-match winning streak in recent home game.
Nottingham Forest
They are the ninth in the table of the League. There are just three points separating them from the sixth. They still stand the chance upgrade to EPL. They are in form, getting a five-match unbeaten run.Verdict:
Both of them are in good condition now. Sheffield United have home advantage. And they are good at home game. It is predicted that Sheffield United will take one point from Nottingham Forest at least in the coming match.

1X2 Pick: 1X -
Liverpool vs West Ham United
Liverpool
Liverpool made a 6-0 success over Leeds United in the last league game. Then they beat Chelsea in the EFL Cup final and advanced to the FA Cup quarter finals with a 2-1 win over Norwich City on Wednesday night. They have won 10 games in a row and have won 13 of the past 14 home games. The Reds are only six points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City with one game in hand.West Ham United
Moyes's side were eliminated by Southampton in the FA Cup last time out. West Ham United have narrowly defeated wolves 1-0 at home in the Premier League over the past week - ranking fifth in the table - two points behind fourth-placed Manchester United. The team have won only two of the last eight away games in the league fixtures.
Prediction
Most of Liverpool's good players rested well after the victory of the EFL cup. We can only imagine a result here. West Ham have been flattered on the road recently, so Klopp's men are expected to win.
Pick: Liverpool to win in -1.5 AH -
Luton Town vs Chelsea
Luton Town
The 4-0 victory over Harrogate Town in the third round contributed to Luton's best performance in the FA Cup since the 2012-13 season.The team defeated Derby County by a narrow margin of 1-0 and won their last three victories in the second level league, which was enough to see that they rank sixth in the table.Chelsea
The Blues were saddened by Liverpool's penalty shoot out in the EFL Cup final at the weekend for ending the their six consecutive victories in all competitions. Chelsea need extra time to beat Plymouth Argyle in the fourth round. Luton and Chelsea will be locking horns for the second tournament running this week, with Tammy Abraham scoring a hat-trick for the Blues in a 3-1 fourth-round win back in January 2021
Prediction
Luton’s fans hope for the FA Cup are not groundless, but Tuchel certainly can't understand the domestic disappointment, so we still expect the Blues to return to the road of victory and occupy a place in the quarter finals.
1X2 Pick: 2
Final Result: 0-2, 1-2 -
Peterborough United vs Manchester City
Peterborough United
Peterborough United won two home games to advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup this season, beating Bristol Rovers 2-1 on January 8, and then Queens Park Rangers 2-0 in early February. The club is currently at the bottom of the championship table, collecting only 21 points in 33 games.Manchester City
The Citizens hardly need to sweat in the FA Cup this season for winning 4-1 at Swindon Town in the third round, and then beat Fulham with the same score on February 5. Manchester City are currently at the top of the Premier League table - six points higher than second-placed Liverpool. The team won the FA Cup six times, the last in 2019.
Prediction
It's hard to predict anything except an easy away victory. Even if Guardiola makes five or six changes, Manchester City will be full of strength.
Pick: Manchester City to win in -2.5 AH -
Chelsea vs Liverpool
Chelsea
Sunday heralds the buzz of the huge EFL Cup Final between Chelsea and Liverpool. Chelsea are on a six-game winning streak, and they had defeated Tottenham in the semis, over two legs. They have also fared decently in recent weeks as they beat Lille 2-0 in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie at Stamford Bridge in their latest outing. Barring the Citizens, they have conceded the least number of goals in the competition.Liverpool
Liverpool have been in red hot form of late. They've clawed their way back into the Premier League title race. The Reds are placed second in the English Premier League, and they have lost just twice all through the campaign. They are on a nine-game winning streak across all competitions and are unbeaten in their last 12 matches. Liverpool thrashed Leeds United 6-0 in midweek and have the wind in their sails heading into the final on Sunday
Prediction
With Salah in the form, Liverpool's potent attackers are simply too good to ignore. Chelsea have also looked formidable in the League Cup, however, even their sturdy backline will have a hard time trying to quell Liverpool's attack. So, predict Liverpool to be unbeaten at least.
Chelsea to Win with AH -1.5
Final Results: 2-0 -
West Ham United vs Wolves
West Ham United
Picking up 21 points from their 13 matches, West Ham United are currently fifth in the Premier League table. They are four points shy of Manchester United in fourth place and level on points with sixth-placed Arsenal. The 2-3 loss to Leeds and the 1-1 draw to Newcastle United in some of their recent home outings certainly represent below-par results for a team in contention for the top-four finish.
Wolves
Two points behind the host, Wolves are currently seventh in the Premier League table. Wolves have done particularly great on travels recently with a run of four consecutive victories on the road in the Premier League. They managed super-important back-to-back wins over Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City recently. Only Manchester City have conceded fewer goals than them so far in the season.
Prediction
West Ham United behave surprisingly in this season while Wolves’ recent state is really impressive. It would not be a surprise to see a home or an away win on Sunday afternoon. So, both teams to score seems to be a good choice here.
BTTS (Both Teams to Score) -
Lazio vs FC Porto
Lazio
Lazio go into this fixture following on from a 1-1 Serie A drawn game vs Udinese. Maurizio Sarri's Lazio have hit the back of the net a sum total of 8 times over their preceding 6 outings. The number of goals that have been scored against them in those games is 7.FC Porto
Porto come into this meeting following a 0-1 Primeira Liga win with the downing of Moreirense in their previous outing. In their previous six outings, Porto have helped themselves to the sum of 12 goals. Porto have also scored on each one of those occasions. In that time, they have seen 5 goals go into their own net.
Verdict:
Lazio have a lot of strength and they are consistent at home. The 1X2 first odds is 2.15-3.50-3.10, which means support the home team. Lazio should win this game.
Lazio VS FC Porto
Pick: 1 -
Arsenal vs Wolves
Arsenal
Arsenal made a 2-1 success at home last time out, which marked their third victory in the last five league matches. With two wins at the start of February, they currently sit sixth - only four points behind Manchester United with three games in hand. Mikel Arteta's men have conceded only nine goals at the Emirates Stadium so far, getting 26 points at home - second only to Liverpool and Manchester City.Wolves
Wolves also made a 2-1 success over Leicester City at home last time out, which marked their fourth victory in the last five league matches. They won the last four away games of the Premier League. Having missed only five points in the past eight league games, the club currently rank seventh in the league table - two points behind their opponents on Thursday.
Prediction
The two strong teams are about to start a close encounter, but Arsenal are another beast at the Emirates this season. They should finally beat Wolves at home and narrow the gap with Manchester United.
1X2 Pick: 1
Total: Under 2.5 goals -
Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United
Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid's performance in the 2021-22 Champions League group stage was far from convincing. They won only two of the six games against Liverpool, Porto and AC Milan, but they won Porto 3-1 on the last game day, getting seven points and putting them in second place after Liverpool. They will enter Wednesday's game after the 3-0 win over Osasuna. It is noted that the team have concede a total of eight goals in the past four home games.Manchester United
Manchester United were at the top of group F, getting 11 points in six games. Ronaldo scored some very important goals to help his team enter the knockout stage. They will enter the game after Sunday's 4-2 win over Leeds United, which ensured crucial three points for the fourth-placed Red Devils in the league table. Moreover, three of their former four road trips had four or more goals as well. But they haven't conceded goals in only three of the past 12 games.
Prediction
Considering these observations, it is expected that any team will score at least one goal on Wednesday. However, for the two close teams, a victory seems unlikely and a draw is expected.
1X2 Pick: X
(BTTS) Both Teams to Score -
Fulham vs Peterborough United
Fulham
Fulham lost 2-1 at home to Huddersfield in the last league round after a run of seven league games unbeaten and six wins to go ended and morale suffered. But their home ground is strong, with 10 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, the best record in the league.Peterborough United
Peterborough, with just five wins after 31 games, are currently five points behind the safety zone and under pressure to avoid relegation. They have been in poor form for nine league games without a win, following a 1-0 defeat at Derby county in the last round.
Verdict:
The difference between the two teams in terms of strength and form is huge. The 1X2 first odds is 1.36-4.75-8.00, which means support the home team. Fulham should win this game.
Fulham VS Peterborough United
Pick: 1 -
Villarreal vs Juventus
Villarreal
Currently sixth in the league standings, Villarreal have now turned their attention to the Champions League where they finished second in Group F, one point off first-placed Manchester United. They are currently unbeaten in each of their last four games, claiming three wins and one draw since a 1-0 loss against Elche on January 16. Villarreal maintained their fine form in La Liga as they claimed an emphatic 4-1 victory away to Granada last Saturday.Juventus
Juventus picked up five wins from six games and finished top of Group H. They head into Tuesday’s game unbeaten in each of their last seven games, dating back to their Super Cup loss against Inter Milan back in January. However, they have failed to win any of their last three away games. Last time out, Juventus drew 1-1 in the Serie A tie with Torino.
Prediction
Juventus head into the game with several injury concerns down the spine of the team, making Villarreal slight favorites. Therefore, expect Villarreal to be unbeaten.
1X2 Pick: 1X -
Chelsea vs Lille
Chelsea
Finishing second in the group stages, Chelsea were comfortably through to the knockout rounds in the end. Chelsea are currently unbeaten in each of their last six outings, including five straight wins in that time. Chelsea secured a 0-1 Premier League victory versus Crystal Palace over the weekend. Before that, they shared a 1-1 FIFA Club World Cup draw with Palmeiras. Chelsea have scored two or more goals in their last six home matches.Lille
Lille finished top of Group G with 11 points from six games, one point above second-placed Salzburg. However, the defending French champions have struggled for consistency since the turn of the year, winning two, drawing two and losing three of their seven games in 2022. Lille head into Tuesday’s game fresh off the back of a disappointing goalless draw with rock-bottom Metz in Ligue 1, where they are currently languishing in 11th place.
Prediction
Lille were winless in four of their past six games, and they had also remained so in three of their preceding four road trips. Despite their unconvincing performance, Chelsea should build on the victory and come away with a vital first-leg win.
Chelsea to Win with AH -1.5
Final Results: 2-0 -
Valencia vs FC Barcelona
Valencia
Valencia lost 2-1 away to Alaves on the last match day. They have failed to win seven of their last ten games, and their only home victory in the past two months was in the Copa del Rey. So far, the team have won only seven times in the whole season, one of the few teams that have remained winless in the League.FC Barcelona
Barcelona drew 2-2 with Espanyol in last week's away game. Just before that, they remained unbeaten in 12 games after beating defending champion Atletico Madrid 4-2 at home. Since October, their only away defeat was against Bayern in the Champions League. The team currently occupy fourth place in the table - being chased by defending champion Atletico Madrid - both sides rank fifth in the table with the same points.
Prediction
The last meeting between these tow sides on this field ended with Barcelona winning 2-3. Xavi’s men are one of the only three teams in the league that have remained unbeaten in the past five games. Therefore, a clean sheet is too much to expect from Barcelona.
Pick: BTTS (Both Teams To Score) -
Luton Town vs West Bromwich(WBA)
Luton Town
Luton Town will be hoping to bounce back here after a 3-0 Championship defeat last time out to Birmingham City. In their preceding six fixtures, Nathan Jones's Luton Town have found the net 8 times, with that being an average number of goals per match equal to 1.33.West Bromwich(WBA)
In their previous fixture, West Bromwich Albion drew 0-0 in the Championship match with Blackburn Rovers. A tendency of at least one team not managing to score in games involving West Bromwich Albion has been fairly consistent in recent matches. Checking on their last 6 meetings shows that it’s occurred 6 times. In those clashes, their opponents have managed a goal tally of 7 while West Bromwich Albion have scored 3.
Verdict:
We’re of the opinion that West Bromwich Albion and Luton Town could well end up finding themselves level here, with both teams capable of netting. A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely. Our tip is therefore for a very even match with a 1-1 score at the end of this one.
Luton Town vs West Bromwich(WBA)
Pick: West Bromwich(WBA)+0.25 -
Nantes vs Paris Saint Germain (PSG)
Nantes
Nantes got all the three points in the league game against 10 man Reims last weekend. Antoine Kombouare's men rose to No. 9 in the top league table - only two points behind fifth-placed Rennes. The team have won six of the last seven games at the Stade de la Beaujoire, the rest was a draw.Paris Saint Germain (PSG)
PSG narrowly defeated 13 times European champion Real Madrid 1-0 in the first leg of the last-16 of the Champions League. They beat Rennes 1-0 in the last league game. The team have remained unbeaten in the last 15 league games, but there have been three 1-1 draws with Lens, Lorient and Lyon in the last four away games. The current French champions are 13 points ahead of second-placed Marseille.
Prediction
Paris Saint Germain put a lot of energy into the Champions League match with Real Madrid in the middle of the week, but they will still be the popular team to beat Nantes.
1X2 Pick: 2
Final Result: 0-1, 1-2 -
VfL Wolfsburg vs TSG Hoffenheim
VfL Wolfsburg
VfL Wolfsburg fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 0-2 Bundesliga 1 victory versus Eintracht Frankfurt. A recurring characteristic of recent VfL Wolfsburg games is the number of results with a nil in them. From their prior 6 clashes before this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a losing one.TSG Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim will go into this match following on from a 2-0 Bundesliga 1 win to defeat Arminia Bielefeld in their most recent match. Demonstrating their fondness for high-scoring encounters, goals have been scored 21 times in the prior six games in which Hoffenheim have played, making it an average of 3.5 goals per meeting. Their opponents have hit 12 from this total. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be sustained here, of course.
Verdict:
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Hoffenheim and VfL Wolfsburg could end up without much reward for their efforts here. A draw is a real possibility, as a clear-cut winner doesn’t appear to be obvious. We’re therefore anticipating a tight encounter, finishing with a 0-0 score at the end of the 90 minutes.
VfL Wolfsburg VS TSG Hoffenheim
Pick: Hoffenheim+0 -
Liverpool vs Norwich City
Liverpool
Liverpool beat Burnley 0-1 away on the last match day. Since the beginning of this year, they have remained unbeaten in 10 of all games, including all the victories in seven consecutive games. The Reds have been unbeaten in the last 15 home league games and achieving this goal at Anfield will be shocking, winning the last six games in a row with a 17-1 aggregate score.
Norwich City
Norwich lost 4-0 at home to Manchester City in the past week. They have won only two league victories away from home this season. Seven points in the past 12 games have brought them down to 18th place in the championship.
Prediction
Salah regained his scoring touch in the middle of the week. We can see that the hosts have made waves on the net again, and Norwich's attack record this season does not give us any reason to support them.
Pick: Liverpool -2.5 in AH -
Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester City
Guardiola’s men beat Norwich City 0-4 away on the last match day of the league, and then beat Sporting CP 0-5 away in the Champions League. The team have won four consecutive games and have also won all the last ten home games. At present, The Citizens are nine points ahead of second-placed Liverpool in the rankings.Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur lost 2-0 at home to Wolves in the past week. They have lost two games in a row and have lost five of the past eight games. The team have failed to win 13 of the last 18 road trips. Antonio Conte's men currently rank eighth in the table - seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.
Prediction
Manchester City have won six of the last seven home games against Tottenham Hotspur. Guardiola's team are very strong, so we can only see one winner here.
Pick: Manchester City -1.5/-2 in AH -
Juventus vs Torino
Juventus
Juventus are currently fourth in the Serie A table, nine points behind leaders AC Milan. They have won three of their last five in the league. Juventus go into this game following with a 1-1 Serie A drawn match versus Atalanta. Prior of that game, they 2-1 beat Sassuolo in Coppa Italia. Juventus shipped only one goal in the last four league outingsTorino
Recording nine wins, five draws and 10 defeats to collect 32 points, Torino are placed at 10th spot in the table. However, they have only taken one point from their last three Serie A matches. Torino draw with Sassuolo on January 23 before losing against Udinese and Venezia in their last two fixtures. Torino have been struggling for goals lately, netting just one in the last two games.
Prediction
Torino have struggled on scoring issue and their travels in Serie A this season. Expect Juventus to take down this game completely.
Juventus to win with AH -1.5
Final Results: 2-0 -
Bournemouth AFC vs Nottingham Forest
Bournemouth AFC
Bournemouth will be looking for a repeat result of the 1-2 Championship success versus Blackpool. It’s not been often in recent times that Bournemouth have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Bournemouth have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 7 goals in the process.Nottingham Forest
In their previous fixture, Nottingham Forest drew 2-2 in the Championship tie with Stoke City. In a total of 5 out of the previous 6 clashes involving Nottingham Forest, a minimum of three goals have been hit. The average goals scored per game during that spell is 3.33, with the average number of goals for Nottingham Forest being 2.33. We will find out whether or not that trend will be sustained into this next match.
Verdict:
In this match, Bournemouth will more than likely score at least once when they face Nottingham Forest, who will not find it easy to get a goal of their own. Our tip is for a controlled 2-0 winning margin for Bournemouth at the end of the 90 minutes.
Bournemouth AFC VS Nottingham Forest
Pick: 1 -
FC Barcelona vs Napoli
FC Barcelona
Barca are now unbeaten in 10 consecutive games, but their performances have been inconsistent, especially in their last five clean sheets against Alaves. Pique and Araujo will not play this game, so their defensive ability will be greatly reduced.Napoli
Napoli have won four and drawn three in their last seven games following a 1-1 draw at home to inter milan, and their morale has been boosted by the return and goals of Insigne. They have also improved their defensive quality, conceding only two goals in their last four games.
Verdict:
Barcelona are stronger at home and deserve support. The 1X2 first odds is 2.00-3.50-3.60, which means support the home team. Barcelona should win this game.
FC Barcelona VS Napoli
Pick: Over 2.75 -
FC Porto vs Lazio
FC Porto
They have been unbeaten for nineteen matches even with 86% winning percentage. They rank the top of Portugal Primeira Liga with six points lead. There is just a lack of luck for them to upgrade to next stage of UEFA Champions League. Undoubtedly they will try their best.
Lazio
They get 3W-2D-1L in recent games, with 9 scoring goals and 4 conceding goals during that time. The only one defeat is from AC Milan in Coppa Italia. It seems that they give up the Cup and focus more on the Europa games.Verdict:
The last time they met each other was in 2008, a friendly game. FC Porto defeated Lazio at 2-1 at that time. FC Porto have home advantage. And they are in form now. So FC Porto will possibly win in upcoming game.FC Porto vs Lazio
1X2 Pick: 1 -
Atletico Madrid vs Levante
Atletico Madrid
Diego Simeone's side will enter the game after Saturday's 4-3 win over Getafe. Atletico Madrid are currently 15 points behind leader Real Madrid, while Real Betis only four points ahead of them. They are strong again at the home of La Liga this season with 24 points in 11 games and only one defeat in the process.Levante
Levante also took part in the high score competition at the weekend, losing 4-2 to Real Betis. The team have got only 11 points in 23 league games this season, which makes them rooted at the bottom of the division with 12 points to safety from 17th place. Alessio Lisci's men have conceded a total of 50 goals so far.
Prediction
Simeone's men have had a difficult season. But Atletico Madrid should have enough ability to ensure all three points.
1X2 Pick: 1
Final Result: 2-1 -
Manchester United vs Brighton Hove Albion
Manchester United
One point behind fourth-placed West Ham, Manchester United are placed fifth in the Premier League table with 40 points from 24 games. Since the latest international break, Manchester United have played three games where theyve taken the lead and then relinquished it to settle for a 1-1 stalemate. In their latest game they shared it with Southampton, before that had been Burnley and even Middlesbrough in FA Cup.Brighton Hove Albion
Ranking ninth place, Brighton Hove Albion have won seven, drawn 12 and lost four of their 23 league games this term. Brighton are riding on the back of a seven-game unbeaten streak in the league. Brighton Hove Albion produced a dominant display over Watford on Saturday and picked up a largely comfortable 2-0 win. They had also drawn all three of their previous Premier League games by a 1-1 scoreline.
Prediction
It is difficult to back Man United to keep a clean sheet at the moment. But the home side will somehow navigate their way to a hugely important three points against the Seagull. Anyway expect Manchester United to be unbeaten.

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad
Real Madrid
Real Madrid have won four of their last six league games, including the last two 3-0 over Alaves and 1-0 over Rayo Vallecano, and the team have not conceded in La Liga since January 23. Los Blancos are currently at the top of the list - six points ahead of second-placed Sevilla.
Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad have won the last two victories in the league, beating Osasuna with one goal at the end of February, and then defeated Mallorca 2-0 on Wednesday night. The team currently rank sixth in the league table, just one point behind Barcelona in fourth place.
Prediction
The Real Sociedad will certainly believe that they have the ability to achieve positive results on Saturday. Sevilla would like the Basque side to do them a favor, but we believe the Los Blancos will play a close match in Madrid.
1X2 Pick: 1
Final Result: 2-1, 3-2
