  1. Nottingham Forest vs Barnsley

    Jan 25 2022, 15:45

    Nottingham Forest
    Nottingham beat Derby County 2-1 at home last time out. They have won three consecutive games and won six of the past eight games - having been unbeaten in 18 of the past 21 games. Also the team have won four of the past five games and have lost only once at home since October. Nottingham are eighth in the table and need four more points to equal sixth-placed Huddersfield.

    Barnsley
    Barnsley suffered an embarrassing record of nine winless league games after losing 2-1 away to Birmingham in the past week. Barnsley were the absolute worst team this season for the bottom position of the table, even lower than the Derby. Barnsley are also the only team that have not won away so far.

    Prediction
    Although Barnsley have shown combat effectiveness in some recent games, they are still not confident to go beyond the limits, especially against a better team. With this in mind, I support Forests relatively easy victory.

    1X2 Pick: 1
    Final Result: 2-0, 3-1

  2. Queens Park Rangers (QPR) vs Swansea City

    Jan 25 2022, 15:45

    Queens Park Rangers (QPR)
    QPR have won four consecutive games after a 1-2 away victory over Coventry last time out and have scored two or more goals during that time. In the past three months, the team have lost only two games, one of which is against second-placed Bournemouth - currently two points behind the latter in the table.

    Swansea City
    Swansea beat Preston North End 1-0 at home last time out. Russell Martins side have won only one of the past five league games, suffered three losses in the process. Swansea have won away games only twice since August 2021 - currently rank 17th with 31 points from 24 games this season.

    Prediction
    Swansea are fully capable of achieving positive results on Tuesday. But considering their recent state, it is difficult to surpass QPR. We expect the host to get another three points on the board of directors to improve their promotion hope.

    1X2 Pick: 1
    Final Result: 1-0, 2-1

  3. Paris Saint Germain (PSG) vs Reims

    Jan 23 2022, 15:45

    Paris Saint Germain (PSG)
    After another overall 2-0 victory over Stade Brestois last time out, PSG led by 11 points at the top of the League ladder. Mauricio Pochettinos men are a strong force in the Parc des Princes this season for having won 12 of 13 home games in all games this season - scoring at least two goals in all these victories.

    Reims
    Reims lost 1-0 at home to Metz last time out, but this only represents the second defeat of them in the past 11 games - Garcias side rank 14th before Sundays game, seven points away from danger. Nevertheless, among the top five teams in Ligue 1 this season, the visiting team have the best defensive record for conceding only 22 goals in total.

    Prediction
    Facing PSG which are looking forward to welcoming Messi back to the game, Reimss extraordinary defensive unity will be extremely tested. They should not cause too much trouble to runaway leaders.


    Paris Saint Germain (PSG) -1.5/-2 in AH

  4. Hertha Berlin vs Bayern Munchen

    Jan 23 2022, 12:30

    Hertha Berlin
    Hertha Berlins performance on Wednesday night was frustrating, as they lost 2-3 at home to Union Berlin in the last 16 rounds of the DFB Pokal. In the league game last weekend, they only reached a goalless draw with Wolfsburg, making the host rank 13th and only four points away from the relegation zone.

    Bayern Munchen
    Bayern Munich stormed Koln 0-4 last time out. Robert Lewandowski scored 23 goals in 19 games with a hat trick in this game. The whole team have scored 61 goals in 19 games in the Bundesliga this season. As Dortmund have the opportunity to narrow the difference to three points again in Saturdays game, the visiting team to the capital on Sunday may be under pressure again.

    Prediction
    As Bayern face pressure again, we expect them to improve their game again and show another strong show.


    Bayern Munchen -1.5/-2 in AH

  5. Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur

    Jan 23 2022, 12:30

    Chelsea
    The Blues have won only one of the last seven Premier League games and have got only one point in the last two Premier League games against Manchester City (1-0 defeat) and Brighton (1-1 draw). Chelsea are currently third in the table - eight points higher than fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur with four games in hand and 12 points behind leading Manchester City with one game in hand.

    Tottenham Hotspur
    The Hotspur miraculously beat Leicester City at Kings power on Wednesday night. In the past four Premier League games, they have got 10 points out of 12 possible points and therefore completely join the competition for the Champions League next season. They are only one point less than fourth-placed West Ham United with three games in hand, while they have four game in hand.

    Prediction
    Chelsea have beaten Tottenham Hotspur twice this month. The home team urgently need to return to the track of the Premier League. With the support of home fans, we believe the Blues can win this game.


    1X2 Pick: 1
    Final Result: 1-0, 2-1
     

  6. Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

    Jan 23 2022, 12:30

    Crystal Palace
    Crystal Palace made a 1-1 draw with Brighton Hove Albion last time out. They won only two of the last 10 games in the Premier League. Crystal Palaces pursuit of the first Premier League victory in 2022 continues, but Vieiras men firmly rank 11th before the start of the weekends game, with 10th-placed Leicester City play two games less, leading by one point.

    Liverpool
    Liverpool beat Arsenal 0-2 away on Thursday night, reaching the League Cup final for the first time in six years. The Reds beat Brentford 3-0 seven days ago, ending their three consecutive winless league games. Three consecutive clean sheets in all competitions are undoubtedly the reason for this current Liverpool teams optimism, and they have not given up the title race, although they are currently 11 points behind leader Manchester City.

    Prediction
    Liverpool have now proved that their scoring touch is still intact without Salah and Mane, so we support the Reds to win with the least difficulty.

    1X2 Pick: 2
    Final Result: 1-3, 2-3

  7. Arsenal vs Burnley

    Jan 23 2022, 10:00

    Arsenal
    Mikel Artetas men have won four consecutive league games before losing to leader Manchester City 1-2 at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners currently sit sixth in the rankings - two points lower than fourth-placed West Ham. The team finish third in the home record in league with 22 points in 10 games this season. But in January, there were 3L-4D in all the games - no goals in each of the last three games.

    Burnley
    Burnley have not played since they were eliminated from the FA Cup by Huddersfield town on January 8. They lost 3-1 away to Leeds United in the last league game - have played six fewer games than Chelsea. The team have won only one league game since the beginning of the season and they are one of the only two teams still havent won at home in the top league.

    Prediction
    Whether Burnleys COVID-hit contingent are ready to return or not, the Gunners smart and young offensive power should push their team to the three points needed for their first victory in 2022.

  8. Southampton vs Manchester City

    Jan 22 2022, 13:30

    Southampton
    Southamptons five unbeaten games in various events ended in a 3-1 defeat to Wolverhampton Rangers away last time out, bringing Ralph Hasenhuttls side to 12th place in the championship - 11 points higher than the relegation zone. The team also suffered a defeat at home earlier by Wolves this season, but it was their only league defeat in 10 games at St. Marys this season.

    Manchester City
    Manchester City just beat defending European champions Chelsea 1-0 at home, and they also won eight consecutive games. At present, they seem unstoppable because Guardiola’s men continue to perform well in front of the goal, scoring 34 goals in 12 consecutive league victories, and their defense is also the best in the league. The team currently rank first with an 11 points lead.

    Prediction
    The Citizens performed very well. It is difficult to predict anything except the away victory of the Premier League leaders. This is an opportunity to further expand Guardiolas leadership.


    Manchester City -1.5 in AH

  9. Eintracht Frankfurt vs Arminia Bielefeld

    Jan 21 2022, 15:30

    Eintracht Frankfurt
    Frankfurt are fighting for European qualification and enter the competition with eighth place. Glasners side have taken only one point in the last two league games against Dortmund (2-3) and Augsburg (1-1). The team scored two or more goals in four of the last five home games across all the competitions.

    Arminia Bielefeld
    Arminia Bielefeld drew 2-2 in a row at the beginning of 2022 and the most recent point was got at home against Greuther Furth. Castro extend his sides current unbeaten record to four games and what will please Frank Kramer is that Die Arminen have scored two goals in each of these games.

    Prediction
    Although Arminia Bielefeld are currently enjoying a good state, Frankfurt are seeing the dawn of competing for a European seat and have a home advantage in this game. We expect the home team to achieve good results in front of their supporters.

    1X2 Pick: 1
    Final Result: 1-0

  10. RCD Espanyol vs Real Betis

    Jan 21 2022, 16:00

    RCD Espanyol
    The Espanyol enter the game after a 2-2 draw with Cadiz. At present, they rank 11th in the Spanish top league, getting 27 points in 21 games and 10 points from the relegation zone. The team currently lost three of the last five league games and lost to Mallorca (2-1 away) in Copa del Rey at the weekend.

    Real Betis
    Pellegrinis side beat Alaves 4-0 in the league on Tuesday. The team also defeated Sevilla in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey on Sunday and successfully advanced to the next round. Betis have won 11 of the 21 league matches this season, tied 4, lost 6 and accumulated 37 points, ranking third in the table - four points higher than fifth-placed Real Sociedad.

    Prediction
    Betis can make some special achievements this season. Its not surprising to see them enter the top four in 2021-22. Although the Espanyols home performance has been strong this season, we support Betis to continue their hot state.

    1X2 Pick: 2
    Final Result: 0-1, 0-2

  11. Watford vs Norwich City

    Jan 21 2022, 16:00

    Watford
    The 1-1 draw with Newcastle last Saturday effectively ended Watford’s seven-game losing streak in all competitions, but the Hornets have been without a league victory since their 4-1 win over Manchester United on November 20 - accumulate 14 points from 19 games and rank 17th in the table. Ranieris side have the worst home record in league this season with just seven points from 10 games.

    Norwich City
    The Canaries celebrated their third win of the season with a 2-1 win over Everton last time out. The team have managed to move from bottom of the league to 18th, but they have played three games more than Burnley and one more game than Newcastle. Norwich have the worst offensive record in the league for only scoring 10 goals in 21 league games so far this season.

    Prediction
    Watford certainly have the ability to achieve good results, especially at home. We just have a feeling for the Hornets here. Norwich will be boosted by an impressive victory at Everton, but we expect Ranieris men to get three points on Friday.

    1X2 Pick: 1
    Final Result: 1-0, 2-1

  12. Lille vs Lorient

    Jan 19 2022, 14:00

    Lille
    Lille go into this match following on from a 1-1 Ligue 1 drawn result vs Marseille. It has been all too rare in recent games that Lille have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Lille have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 7 goals along the way.

    Lorient
    Previously, FC Lorient drew 0-0 in the Ligue 1 match with Angers SCO. Over the course of 5 of the past 6 clashes featuring FC Lorient, a notably low volume of goals have been struck between them and opposing sides. The overall average goals scored per game during that spell is a meagre 1.83, with the number of goals averaged by Les Merlus being 0.33. With no two games being the same, time will tell whether that pattern might persist here in this match or not.

    Verdict:
    Lorient, the only team not to have won away from home, they should lacked confidence in this game. The 1X2 first odds is 1.50-4.20-6.50, which means support the home team. Lille should win this game.

    Lille VS Lorient
    Pick: 1

  13. Getafe vs Granada

    Jan 20 2022, 14:00

    Getafe
    Getafe unbeaten run in the league ended last time out and they remain on the cusp of the relegation zone, standing on 17th in the table. Getafe have suffered from their shocking start to the campaign - seven consecutive losses from the season-opener and no win until their 12th game - in recent weeks when they secured a 1-0 win over Real Madrid. The run came to an end with a 1-0 loss at Sevilla in their previous outing.

    Granada
    Granada have returned to the top tier in 2019, but also struggled as this season began. They required eight attempts to find a win and followed a similar pattern of Getafe, starting their own unbeaten streak at around the same time. Granada held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw in their previous outing. That point means they now sit 13th, comfortably in mid-table.


    Prediction
    Granada have just one win in their travels and have just one clean sheet in their last nine games. In contrast, Getafes all four wins have come at home this season and they have kept a clean sheet in their last five league outings at home. Therefore, expect Getafe to be unbeaten and have a chance to win this game.

    1X2 Pick: 1X
    Final Results: 1-0, 1-1

  14. Preston North End vs Sheffield United

    Jan 18 2022, 15:45

    Preston North End
    Preston North End prepare for this game following on from a 1-1 Championship drawn result versus Birmingham City. It has been seldom in recent times that Preston North End have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Preston North End have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 7 goals during that time.

    Sheffield United
    Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Derby County in Championship action, Sheffield United and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. The trend of at least one team drawing a blank in games involving Sheffield United has been noticeable of late. Checking on their last six outings shows that it’s happened 5 times. During those clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal tally of 7 while Sheffield United have scored 7. That trend won’t necessarily be continued into this match, though. Coming into this clash, Sheffield United have not been beaten in their last 3 away league matches.

    Verdict:
    Looking at these two, we feel that Sheffield United and Preston North End should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two. It could well end in a draw. We’re therefore tipping a very close game with a 1-1 scoreline at the end of the 90.

    Preston North End VS Sheffield United
    Pick: X2

  15. Celta Vigo vs Osasuna

    Jan 19 2022, 14:00

    Celta Vigo
    Celta lost 0-1 to Real Sociedad last time out and also lost 2-1 in the knockout round of the Copa Del Rey to lower-level Baleares earlier. Eduardo Coudet’side are still just six points clear of the bottom three. While Celta Vigo have the second-worst home record in La Liga, they still get seven points from their last four league matches.

    Osasuna
    Osasuna ended a 10-match winless streak in the Spanish top flight with a 2-0 victory over Cadiz in the previous round and climbed to 12th in the league table. The team are now 8 points clear of the red zone and even 2 points above Celta Vigo. Even though Osasuna have played fewer road games than all but one team in the division, they still rank eighth in return with 14 points in nine games.

    Prediction
    Both teams see this as an opportunity to distance themselves from the relegation zone. Celta have home advantage in this game and we look forward to seeing them take points in front of the supporters.


    1X2 Pick: 1X
    Total: Under 2.5 goals

  16. Portimonense vs Vitoria Guimaraes

    Jan 17 2022, 16:15

    Portimonense
    They have made great progress this season. Now they rank the seventh in the table of the League. They have already reached their goal of safety. But they are in poor state recently, which have been winless for five matches.

    Vitoria Guimaraes
    They are the eighth in the table of the League, with just one point away from Portimonense. They are also in poor state, which have been winless for three matches. They are good at away games, with 89% unbeaten rate as traveller.

    Verdict:
    There is no gap between two sides. Neither of them take the upper hand or lower hand over each other in past head to head clashes with a record of 4W-2D-4L. So the result of upcoming game is suggested to be a draw.

    Portimonense vs Vitoria Guimaraes
    Over/Under Goal: Over 2/2.25 Goals

  17. Cadiz vs RCD Espanyol

    Jan 18 2022, 16:30

    Cadiz
    Picking up just 14 points from their opening 20 matches of the season, are currently 19th in the standing of La Liga. They are winless in their last seven league outings and have won just twice in the league all season. Cadiz enter this game coming off the back of a 0-0 Copa del Rey drawn game against Sporting Gijon but they won on penalties at last. Before that, they suffered a 2-0 loss to Osasuna.
    RCD Espanyol
    Espanyol occupy 11th in Spains top flight, boasting 26 points from their first 20 games of 2021-22. They have found it difficult to pick up positive results on their travels this season, winning just one of their 10 away La Liga matches. Espanyol suffered a 2-1 defeat to Elche in their last league match on January 10 before losing by the same scoreline to Mallorca in the Copa del Rey on Saturday.


    Prediction
    Cadiz are winless at home in the league this term and have failed to score in their last three games. The game is expected to be a low-scoring affair. Except that Espanyol should be unbeaten and even have a chance to secure all three points.

    1X2 Pick: X2
    Under 2

  18. Real Betis vs Alaves

    Jan 18 2022, 15:00

     

    Real Betis
    With 34 points from their opening 20 matches, Real Betis are currently third in La Liga. However, Real Betis have failed to triumph in La Liga since December 12 as they have picked up just one point from their last three matches. In their previous game, Real Betis got the 2-1 Copa del Rey success versus Sevilla. Prior of that game, they shared a 1-1 away draw with Rayo Vallecano.

    Alaves
    A record of four wins, five draws and 11 defeats from 17 matches has brought Alaves 17 points, which has left them in 18th position in the table, one point from the safety of 17th position. Alaves were knocked out of the Copa del Rey in the middle of December, so they have not been in action since drawing 0-0 with Athletic Bilbao in the league on January 9. They also held Real Sociedad in their opening matches of 2022 but it still ended with a 1-1 draw.


    Prediction
    Alaves have shown recent improvement in the league, but the home team will have been boosted by their cup success over Sevilla. Besides, Real Betis are the better team on paper. So, expect Real Betis to be the winner.

    1X2 Pick: 1
    Final Results: 2-0

  19. Paris Saint Germain (PSG) vs Stade Brestois

    Jan 15 2022, 16:00

    Paris Saint Germain (PSG)
    Mauricio Pochettinos side were forced to draw 1-1 with Lyon in their last league game, marking their 11th consecutive unbeaten run in Ligue 1. PSG have certainly been interested in draws lately - four of their last five games in the top flight ended with draw - but they still remain 11 points clear of Nice and Marseille in the table.

    Stade Brestois
    Stade Brestois lost 0-3 at home to Nice last time out. They are also without a win in four of their last five games. The only victory came in the French Cup. The team have just got one point in last three games in the league, but are unbeaten in five consecutive away games.

    Prediction
    PSG have won all the past 10 games with Stade Brestois, resulting in psychological advantage. They occupy the home advantage in this game and are expected to get back on track.

    Paris Saint Germain (PSG) to win in -2 AH

  20. Juventus vs Udinese

    Jan 15 2022, 15:45

    Juventus
    The Bianconeris thrilling comeback in the seven goal thriller against Rome soon dissipated in the middle of the week as they were defeated by Inter Milans last-minute goal in Super Coppa Italiana. The victory put the team fifth in the Serie A table - six points higher than Mourinhos team and only three points behind Atalanta.

    Udinese
    Udinese ended 2-6 at home by Atalanta last time out. This is the clubs first defeat in the last four games. With the average scores in the first five league games, the club curretnly rank 14th in the league - seven points higher than the relegation zone.
    Prediction
    Juventus have lost to this opponent only once in the previous 13 meetings. The hosts are unbeaten in eight games, while their opponents have won only one of the previous eight league games. We support Juventus will win this game on Saturday.

    Juventus to win in -1/-1.5 AH

  21. Manchester City vs Chelsea

    Jan 15 2022, 08:30

    Manchester City
    Guardiola’s side have won seven consecutive games after beating Arsenal 1-2 away on the last game day, four of which kept clean sheets. Manchester City have won every game of the past seven home games - including their last five games in the Premier League. In short, the defending champion have won 11 consecutive games in the Premier League so far.

    Chelsea
    Tuchel’s side drew 2-2 with Liverpool in the last round of the league. Maintaining a short-term title hope is the main goal of their men currently - 10 points behind Manchester City in the league table. The Blues have done well away from home - having won six games on their opponents grass and conceded only six goals in the past eight Premier League games.


    Prediction
    Guardiolas team are a force that can not be ignored at home and does not need additional incentives to eliminate the Blues hope of winning the title. The unbeaten rate in 10 home matches have reached 80%, the defending champion are expected to win this game and continue to expand their lead.


    1X2 Pick: 1
    Total: Under 2.5/3 goals

  22. Borussia Dortmund vs Freiburg

    Jan 14 2022, 15:30

    Borussia Dortmund
    A record of 12 wins, one draw and five defeats has seen Borussia Dortmund collect 37 points, which has left them to the second place in the division. Dortmund have been excellent at home this season, winning eight of their nine league matches. Borussia Dortmund won their previous game, the 2-3 Bundesliga 1 triumph against Eintracht Frankfurt.

    Freiburg
    Freiburg have performed well above expectations in the Bundesliga this season, winning eight, drawing six and losing four of their 18 matches to pick up 30 points, which has left them fourth in the table. Freiburg have only lost one of their last five Bundesliga matches, with the run including an impressive 2-1 win over Leverkusen before the winter break, but they were held to a 2-2 draw by lowly Arminia Bielefeld on their return

    Prediction
    Borussia Dortmund can ill afford a slip-up here if they want to keep ground on Bayern Munich and get involved in the battle for the Bundesliga trophy. Expect the home side to edge a close contest on Friday night.

    1X2 Pick: 1
    Final Score: 2-1, 3-1
     

  23. FC Famalicao vs Belenenses

    Jan 13 2022, 14:00

    FC Famalicao
    Famalicao, who drew 2-2 with Braga in the last round, have won three matches in a row and lost three in a row, and are in poor form and morale. They are three points behind the safety zone and will have to go all out.

    Belenenses
    Belenenses received a huge morale boost with a 2-1 home win over Arouca in the last round, ending a five-match winless run. This game against relegation opponents, they will absolutely give it their all.

    Verdict:
    Famalicao have won 2 and drawn 2 in their last 4 games against Belenenses, but they are not in good form. The 1X2 first odds is 1.65-3.75-5.50, which means support the home team. Famalicao should win this game.

    FC Famalicao VS Belenenses
    Pick: 1

  24. Liverpool vs Arsenal

    Jan 13 2022, 15:45

    Liverpool
    The Reds swept Shrewsbury Town 4-1 at home in last weeks FA Cup. This success represent Liverpools only victory in their last five games. The team havent lost at home once since April. Liverpool are now on an eight-match winning streak at Anfield headquarters, only not scoring at least two goals in one of those successes.

    Arsenal
    Arteta’s side are currently on a two-game losing streak. The most recent defeat came in the FA Cup with a 1-0 away loss to Nottingham Forest. They have lost four of their last six away games. The Gunners advanced to the semi-finals - scoring 16 goals in four victories against West Bromwich Albion, Wimbledon, Leeds United and Sunderland - and have a chance to win the title since 1993.

    Prediction
    Liverpool have an absolute advantage in the past records with the Gunners. The most recent encounter ended with a 4-0 victory for Liverpool. Arsenals complete lack of midfield presence will be exposed this week by a revamped Liverpool squad.


    1X2 Pick: 1
    Total: Over 2.5/3 Goals

  25. Cameroon VS Ethiopia

    Jan 13 2022, 11:59

    Cameroon
    Cameroon have won four games in a row and the morale and form of the team is very good. Bayern Munichs Choupo-Moting, who was injured in the last round and did not play, is still a doubt ahead of the game.

    Ethiopia
    Ethiopia lost to Cape Verde in the first round, and Ethiopias morale and form were not very good. Ethiopia, with a total value of 3.03 million euros and no players playing for clubs in Europe and The Americas, is weak.

    Verdict:
    The strength gap between the two teams is huge and there is no suspense. The 1X2 first odds is 1.20-6.00-17.00, which means support the home team. Cameroon should win this game easily.
