Bet here It hasn't been an easy start to the season for PSG, as Luis Enrique comes to grips with the task at hand. The same can also be said of Laurent Blanc at Lyon, who will desperately need a win soon as they currently sit in the bottom three places of the Ligue 1 standings. Inter vs Fiorentina Prediction: Serie A Match on 03.09.2023 Ligue 1 Preview Both Lyon and PSG come into this fixture on Sunday with a point to prove, as neither have started the season in the form that many would have expected. However, the Parisians finally looked to click into gear last weekend, as they ended a two-game drawing run by picking up maximum points at home against Lens. It was a solid display by PSG, as they appeared to be in cruise control throughout the second half after Marco Asensio's opener on the stroke of half time. Kylian Mbappe also looked sharp in Paris, as he scored the second early in the second half, before adding the third in the 90th minute. His second goal saw him exceed 300 goal involvements for PSG, netting 215 times and registering 86 assists. Bet here It has been a grim start to the season for Laurent Blanc and his Lyon side, as they remain locked in the bottom three positions of the standings. One positive will certainly come from the fact that they were able to end a two-game losing sequence last Sunday, as they played out a goalless draw against Nice. However, Lyon never looked likely to find the back of the net in that fixture, as they mustered just a single shot on target from their 41% of the possession. The result saw Lyon make some unwanted history, as they are in the bottom three for the first time after three matches for the first time since 1971-72. Meanwhile, they have taken their lowest tally of points at this stage of the season since 1992-93. Lyon vs PSG Head to Head Lyon landed a famous win over PSG in the previous encounter between the sides. However, that win was their first in four matches against the Parisians. They are winless in their last four home matches against PSG, which includes a 1-0 defeat in this exact fixture last term. Lyon vs PSG Prediction It has been a really disappointing start to the season for Lyon, and things aren't likely to get any easier this weekend. We expect the Parisians to register maximum points on the road, and we could see them winning by at least a two-goal margin. Make sure to bet on Lyon vs PSG with 22Bet!

Serie A Preview This promises to be a huge season for Juventus, as they look to get back on track following a disastrous 2022-23 campaign. The Old Lady are unbeaten in their opening two matches this term, and they will be looking for a second win of the season when they come up against Empoli. There will be pressure on Juventus this term, as there will be an expectation that they will be closer to the top of the standings after a poor campaign last term. The initial signs look promising for the Old Lady, as they are unbeaten across their opening two matches this term. However, they weren't able to follow up their win on the road against Udinese last weekend, as they were forced to settle for a draw at home against Bologna. Juventus were way below the standard expected, and they went behind after just 24 minutes. They were fortunate to pick up a point from the match, with Dusan Vlahovic firing the Old Lady level with just ten minutes remaining. Bet here Empoli will be disappointed with the start to the season that they have made, as they already sit in the bottom three places in the Serie A standings after losing each of their opening three matches. They are one of three teams yet to find the back of the net, and they have already allowed three goals. The Italian side gave a good account of themselves last weekend, but their match against Monza was taken away from them in the space of eight second half minutes. But, Empoli were unfortunate not to find the back of the net as they attempted 18 shots. Juventus have won ten of the previous 12 encounters between these two sides. Empoli have picked up just two victories over the same period. However, one of those wins was recorded in this exact fixture last season, as they secured a stunning 4-1 home victory over the Old Lady. Empoli will still have fond memories of the previous clash between these two sides. However, they haven't started the season well enough to suggest that they could record maximum points this weekend. Therefore, we will be siding with Juventus landing victory in a low-scoring affair between the sides. Make sure to bet on Empoli vs Juventus with 22Bet!

Inter Milan will certainly rank high among the potential challengers, and they will be looking to continue their perfect start to the new season this weekend when they welcome Fiorentina to the San Siro.

However, they will be looking to get back on track this weekend after they surrendered a 2-0 advantage to draw 2-2 against Lecce in their first home match of the new season last Sunday. Nicolas Gonzalez and Alfred Duncan scored the goals in the draw. Inter Milan vs Fiorentina Head to Head Inter boast a very impressive record in this fixture, as they have won 20 of the previous 34 matches that they have played against Fiorentina.

Bundesliga Preview It has been an excellent start to the new season for Union Berlin, and they will be looking for a third straight league win to maintain their position at the top of the standings going into the international break. RB Leipzig will be the visitors to the capital. There was a slight doubt hanging over Union Berlin before the start of the new season, as many questioned whether they would be able to maintain the high standards that they set last term. However, those doubts have been answered over the opening weeks of the season, as Union come into matchday three sitting top of the Bundesliga standings. Union have won each of their opening two matches, scoring four goals in each victory. In domestic fixtures this term, they have netted 12 goals across three fixtures, and they have conceded just twice. Their most recent win came last weekend, as they secured a routine victory on the road against Darmstadt. Robin Gosens scored twice in that 4-1 success, with Union forced to play with ten men for over an hour following Brenden Aaronson's red card after 21 minutes. Bet here RB Leipzig didn't get off to the best start in the Bundesliga this term, as they were beaten on matchday one. However, they put that setback behind them to get off the mark for the new campaign at the second attempt last weekend. It was a dominant display by Leipzig, as they cruised to a 5-1 win over Stuttgart. Five different scorers found the back of the net in that win, including recent recruits Xavi Simons and Lois Openda. It was a dominant display, but a similar outing against Union is extremely unlikely. Union Berlin boast a staggering record in this fixture, as they have won each of their last five against Leipzig. That includes three straight wins in home fixtures by 2-1 scorelines. Union's record in this fixture appears to be a trend that is challenging to overlook this weekend. Therefore, we will be siding with the hosts to pick up a third straight victory this season, with both teams once again finding the back of the net.

They made a solid enough start to the new season with a point on the opening weekend, but they have followed up that effort by losing each of their previous two in the Spanish top flight.

The visitors have won each of their last two since falling to defeat on the opening day. Crystal Palace vs Wolves Prediction: Premier League Match on 03.09.2023 Premier League Preview Jurgen Klopp will be delighted with the start to the season that his Liverpool side have made, as they currently sit in the top four after failing to lose in each of their opening three matches. The Reds have recorded back-to-back wins after being held to a draw at Chelsea on the opening day. Liverpool needed to ride their luck in their most recent fixture, as they came back from a 1-0 deficit to land a 2-1 victory at St. James' Park against Newcastle. Despite being down to ten men and seeing just 40% of the possession, the Reds stole maximum points in the final ten minutes, with Darwin Nunez netting twice to stun the home crowd. The match-winning goal was scored in the 90th minute, meaning Liverpool have now scored 42 last-minute winners in the Premier League. Bet here Aston Villa will be the visitors to Anfield this Sunday, as they look to continue their excellent recent run of form. Unai Emery's side have bounced back effectively following a heavy loss on the opening day of the season against Newcastle, as they have won each of their last two. Villa was excellent on the road against Burnley last weekend, with Matty Cash being the unlikely hero after netting twice. Moussa Diaby also netted his second goal of the season in the second half to make sure of the victory. The win means that only Man City and Arsenal have won more Premier League games since Emery's arrival.

However, the most recent clash between the sides at Anfield saw the points shared following a 1-1 draw in May.

The Reds will be without Virgil van Dijk this weekend, and that could be a key piece of team news to consider. Therefore, a chance will be taken on Villa to land a first win at Anfield since 2014.

The visitors have won each of their last two since falling to defeat on the opening day. Jurgen Klopp will be delighted with the start to the season that his Liverpool side have made, as they currently sit in the top four after failing to lose in each of their opening three matches. The Reds have recorded back-to-back wins after being held to a draw at Chelsea on the opening day. Liverpool needed to ride their luck in their most recent fixture, as they came back from a 1-0 deficit to land a 2-1 victory at St. James' Park against Newcastle. Despite being down to ten men and seeing just 40% of the possession, the Reds stole maximum points in the final ten minutes, with Darwin Nunez netting twice to stun the home crowd. The match-winning goal was scored in the 90th minute, meaning Liverpool have now scored 42 last-minute winners in the Premier League. Bet here Aston Villa will be the visitors to Anfield this Sunday, as they look to continue their excellent recent run of form. Unai Emery's side have bounced back effectively following a heavy loss on the opening day of the season against Newcastle, as they have won each of their last two. Villa was excellent on the road against Burnley last weekend, with Matty Cash being the unlikely hero after netting twice. Moussa Diaby also netted his second goal of the season in the second half to make sure of the victory. The win means that only Man City and Arsenal have won more Premier League games since Emery's arrival. Liverpool are unbeaten in their previous five Premier League matches against Villa since a 7-2 loss at Villa Park in October 2020. However, the most recent clash between the sides at Anfield saw the points shared following a 1-1 draw in May. Aston Villa's away record deserves a lot of respect ahead of this fixture at Anfield. The Reds will be without Virgil van Dijk this weekend, and that could be a key piece of team news to consider. Therefore, a chance will be taken on Villa to land a first win at Anfield since 2014.

Premier League Preview Wolves finally got off the mark for the new season with a win over Everton on matchday three. However, they will face a slightly different challenge this weekend when they travel to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace. Wolves made a slow start to the new Premier League season, but any doubts that they could get dragged into the bottom three over the opening month were cast aside last weekend, as they battled to a 1-0 win on the road against Everton. However, the West Midlands club will be looking to back up that effort when they travel to Selhurst Park this weekend. It was a fine win for Wolves on the road at Goodison, with their winning goal being netted with just three minutes remaining by Sasa Kaladjdzic. The striker will have an important role to play for the club this term after missing out on almost the entirety of the previous campaign due to injury. The win was the third straight time that Wolves have won at Goodison, and they will be hoping to continue their hot streak on the road on Sunday. Bet here Crystal Palace made a winning start to the new season, but they have failed to back up that performance level in each of their previous two matches. The Eagles at least avoided losing for the second straight match in their most recent fixture, as they battled to a point on the road against Brentford. A point was the very least that they deserved in that fixture, as they were actually the better team for long periods. Palace also bounced back to winning ways in the EFL Cup in midweek, as they came back from 2-0 down to land a 4-2 victory at Plymouth Argyle. Wolves landed a 2-0 win in the most recent clash between these sides in April. That win ended a four-game winless sequence against the Eagles. Over that period, Palace had picked up four straight wins, which includes three straight victory at Selhurst Park. Selhurst Park hasn't been a happy hunting ground for Wolves in recent seasons, and that poor record looks set to continue this weekend. We will be siding with Palace landing victory on Sunday, with under 2.5 goals being scored in the Premier League fixture. Make sure to bet on Crystal Palace vs Wolves with 22Bet!

Football, dubbed "the beautiful game," is a global phenomenon today thanks to the visionary leadership of its managers. These individuals are the architects of triumph, mentors to young talents, and often the heartbeat of their clubs. In this exploration of the best football managers of all time, we delve into the careers and legacies of five remarkable figures. Most Successful Managers in Football History Sir Alex Ferguson: The Maestro of Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson's name is a synonym of success. His reign at United remains a benchmark for managerial excellence. Born in 1941 in Govan, Scotland, Ferguson's journey to becoming a football icon was breathtaking. Before his tenure at Manchester United, he managed Aberdeen and St. Mirren and displayed definite glimpses of his skills. He is regarded as one of the greatest football managers of all time. Ferguson's style was characterized by his ability to motivate his players, instill discipline, and adapt tactics to suit the situation. The "Fergie time," a term used to describe Manchester United's penchant for late goals, exemplified his unwavering belief in his team. Sir Alex achieved astonishing accomplishments during his Manchester United career from 1986 to 2013. He secured 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, and two UEFA Champions League titles, among other trophies. Fergie's nurturing of talents like Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, and the Class of '92 is a testament to his ability to develop players. We mentioned some of them in more detail in our article on the best football players who played for one club. Ferguson's legacy extends far beyond the silverware he collected. His never-say-die attitude and his knack for rebuilding teams ensured Manchester United's success for over two decades. His retirement in 2013 marked the end of an era, leaving an indelible mark on the sport. Arsène Wenger: The Professor of Football Arsène Wenger, known as "The Professor," revolutionized English football during his 22-year reign as Arsenal's manager from 1996 to 2018. Born in Strasbourg, France, in 1949, Wenger's arrival at Arsenal marked a turning point in the club's history. Wenger was a pioneer in English football, introducing a continental approach to training, diet, and sports science. He advocated for attacking football, earning Arsenal the moniker "The Invincibles" during the 2003-2004 season when they went unbeaten in the league. Under Wenger's guidance, Arsenal won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups. His ability to nurture young talents like Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, and Cesc Fàbregas while playing attractive football endeared him to fans worldwide. Wenger's contributions extend to his influence on other managers who adopted his innovative methods. Johan Cruyff: Total Football's Visionary Johan Cruyff, the Dutch maestro, is often regarded as the architect of "Total Football." This is a style of play that emphasizes fluid positional interchange and collective pressing. Born in 1947 in Amsterdam, Cruyff's playing career was the precursor to his legendary managerial skills. Cruyff's most celebrated managerial stint was at Barcelona from 1988 to 1996. He instilled the principles of Total Football, transforming Barcelona into a footballing powerhouse. Under his leadership, Barcelona won four La Liga titles and the club's first-ever UEFA Champions League title in 1992. Cruyff's impact went beyond silverware. The football manager established the youth academy La Masia, which produced talents like Pep Guardiola and Xavi Hernandez. His influence is obvious in modern Barcelona's playing style and the philosophy many coaches adopted worldwide. Bill Shankly: The Anfield Legend Bill Shankly, born in 1913 in Scotland, is an enduring legend at Liverpool Football Club. As Liverpool's manager from 1959 to 1974, he laid the foundation for the club's future successes. Shankly's managerial style was defined by his charisma, unwavering commitment, and strong sen...

Bet here Bet here The German Bundesliga returns this weekend, featuring a hectic six-game programme on Saturday. The action begins at 14:30 when Bayer Leverkusen hosts Darmstadt 98 to get the day off to a flyer. Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg are also in action, but our team is most interested in the main attraction. Borussia Monchengladbach play champions Bayern Munich from 17:30 GMT, and we expect a thrilling 90 minutes. Which team will finish on top? These teams enter on the back of differing results, with the home team winless in their two previous outings while the visitors carry a 100% record. Another victory for the reigning champions would keep them in control of the division, but it would be foolish to dismiss the hosts, who have been poor but are a determined opponent on their patch. Backed by a capacity crowd, Borussia Monchengladbach aims to score an early-season upset. Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla Prediction: La Liga Match on 03.09.2023 Monchengladbach without a win Borussia Monchengladbach embark on game three of the new season still to get off the mark. The Bundesliga side have claimed just one of the first six points available, following an opening day draw with defeat last time. Their one-point tally places Borussia 12th in the division, already five points behind league leaders and opponents Bayern Munich. The hosts are behind but know a win thrusts them back into contention. Borussia opened with a stunning 4-4 draw away to FC Augburg on week one, a game most pundits fancied them to win. They took the lead, but needed a 97th minute equaliser to get a point for their efforts to bring the curtain down on an eight-goal thriller. The home team followed that high-scoring draw with a 3-0 loss here to Bayer Leverkusen last time.Seven goals conceded in two games doesn't impress fans. Bayern brings a perfect record Bayern Munich has dominated German football over the last decade and they are favourites to retain the Bundesliga crown this season. The champions have started in the manner you'd expect, winning their first two games to bag a total six points and move joint top of the division. After a fortnight, five teams boast 100% records, including Bayern Munich, Union Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen. Munich began the defence of their title with an eye-catching 4-0 away win over Werder Bremen on matchday one. A stunning performance and one that set the pace for their second game when Bayern brushed past FC Augsburg, claiming a 3-1 home victory. Both games had four goals each and armchair fans planning to follow this game live on television are hoping for another goal-fest. Borussia Monchengladbach v Bayern Munich prediction Borussia Monchengladbach are no soft touch in this division and will improve when they find their feet. It has been a poor start for the locals, but they're capable of better and will want to show it at home against the champions. With one point on the board, Borussia fans won't cut their players any slack, demanding a winning performance on Saturday. Bayern Munich are on the road but bring a perfect two-game record with them and the champions believe they'll make it a treble.

Bet here Bet here Welcome to a brand-new month, and September heralds the start of a frantic period for the top clubs across Europe. The Premier League, Serie A, and Bundesliga gather pace while the Champions League and Europa League group stages join the party. There are even European Championship qualifiers on the list. We're spoiled for choice in September and can't wait to get into the thick of the play. The weekend begins with a pair of games from the Italian Serie A, with the main attraction pairing Roma and AC Milan from 19:45 GMT in a game you can follow on television and through live-streaming apps. It's a tie that excites our team, and we preview the action, bringing readers up to speed with the latest form, injury news, head-to-head stats, and more. Nantes vs Marseille Prediction: Serie A Match on 01.09.2023 In short, we have everything you need to make a researched prediction on the outcome of this game while targeting a profit. Roma suffers a slow start The Italian Serie A season is now two games old, and we have four teams with a 100% record and seven unbeaten sides. But Roma isn't part of that list. Despite entering the season with high hopes of grabbing domestic and European success, it was a challenging opening fortnight for Roma. As the dust settled on August, the home team is 13th in the division without a win for their efforts, claiming just one of the first six points up for grabs. Fans are already beginning to grow restless. Roma brought the curtain up on the league campaign with a 2-2 draw at home to Salernitana, a team most pundits expected them to defeat. Scoring two goals on the opening day boosted the attackers' morale, but leaking two was an early dunt for the defense, and they know they must improve. Will Roma make the same mistakes as last season and be fragile at the back? They lost 2-1 away to Hellas Verona last time, meaning they've already conceded four. The coaching staff must act now to plug the leaks. AC Milan lead the race AC Milan fans were disappointed with their side's lack of a title challenge after working hard to get into contention in the previous campaign. The support, coaches, players, and board demanded better this year, and the club started well, winning each of their first two Serie A games to race to the summit. Two games played, six points collected, five goals scored, and one conceded places AC Milan in pole position, and on recent form, they'll take some shifting. There's all to play for this term. Milan opened their account for the season with an impressive 2-0 away to Bologna, with the goals scored by Giroud and Pulisic, two experienced players. The game was over as a contest in the first half before Milan changed tactics and decided to protect their lead during the second 45 minutes. They also enjoyed a winning home debut with an emphatic 4-1 win over Torino in another show of strength from the title challengers. Pulisic was on the scoresheet again, making it two from two, while Giroud nabbed a double to secure three goals in two games. Hernandez added the spare on the stroke of halftime. It was a comfortable performance, but there's more to come from this talented team. Roma v AC Milan prediction Roma enjoys the home advantage and hopes the support can cheer them to a first win of the season. But it won't be easy against the league leaders. If Roma doesn't take control of this game in the opening exchanges, we expect the crowd to sound its disproval, and that will only help their opponents who are here to create disharmony in the ranks. AC Milan couldn't be more confident ahead of this game. Strange things happen in Serie A; we must remember that when making predictions. But here we have a winless team struggling to find its feet against the top of the league and their 100% record. If AC Milan are patient and can upset the crowd, they could go three for three here.

Welcome to the first weekend of September, and the Premier League schedule gives football fans plenty to discuss. The top division of English football provides one game on Friday, six on Saturday, and another three on Sunday. The highlight of the programme is on Sunday when Arsenal host Man Utd from 16:30 GMT in a game you can follow live on television. The Gunners enjoy home advantage and aim to shoot down their big-name opponents to bolster their title challenge. Man United have lacked consistency in the opening three weeks and are already playing catch up. The Red Devils know they must improve on recent efforts to bring back the glory days, but much work must be done. A win at the Emirates would move United back into contention, while a defeat would cause unrest in a following that's already low on confidence. Keep reading as our team analyses the big game and offers our predictions. It's an important season for Arsenal after their near-miss last time. They pushed Man City hard for the title, leading for much of the campaign before surrendering to Man City in the closing weeks. Fans are intrigued to see how Mikel Arteta's men perform this season. Can they go one better than last term and win the league, or was that close call little more than another flash in the pan from an underperforming club? Arsenal enter this home game against Man United with seven points from a possible nine. They won their first two games but were held to a draw last time, dropping off the pace set by Man City, the only remaining team with a 100% win record. Their points tally is shared by four other teams, meaning a win on Sunday would drive Arsenal back into contention. They beat Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace before ending 2-2 with Fulham last time. Manchester United is the away team on Sunday, but they finished lower in the pecking order than their opponents last season and are already three places lower in the league. United has also suffered its first defeat, with their stats showing two wins and a loss. It's early in the season, and there's plenty of football to play, but defeat in London would knock United down the list and seriously damage their chances of challenging for the title. Man Utd played three games in August, starting with a 1-0 win at Old Trafford against Wolverhampton Wanderers, a team they were favourites to beat. It was a little closer than most expected, but a goal from Varane on 76 minutes was enough to secure the points. United then suffered a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham in North London before bouncing back to defeat Nottingham Forest 3-2 last time, battling back from two goals behind inside four minutes. It was a real test of character for United. The highlight of Sunday's Premier League schedule will live up to the hype, and fans hope we're treated to a few more goals. Which team will end on top, securing all three points and the bragging rights for fans? Fans in London will back the Gunners, and if they start better than last weekend, the crowd will get right behind the players in such an important fixture. If Man Utd are to get anything from this tussle, they can't play like they did last Saturday, going two goals behind early in the contest. They fought back from 2-0 down to Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford, but if they handed Arsenal a two-goal lead on Sunday, things could get messy fast. The pre-match betting odds available at 22bet make for interesting reading with traders struggling to separate the big guns. Arsenal using their home advantage to claim victory is priced at 1.79, or you can back an away win for Man Utd in London at 4.08. The draw will net backers 3.98 if you can't pick sides. 22Bet members benefit from over 100 pre-match and in-play betting odds and markets on this game. Predict the winner of the three points or play one of the specials, including Saka to score first, both teams to score or over 3.5 goals. Keep digging until you find the right bet.

Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla Prediction: La Liga Match on 03.09.2023 Gunners find the target It's an important season for Arsenal after their near-miss last time. They pushed Man City hard for the title, leading for much of the campaign before surrendering to Man City in the closing weeks. Fans are intrigued to see how Mikel Arteta's men perform this season. Can they go one better than last term and win the league, or was that close call little more than another flash in the pan from an underperforming club? Arsenal enter this home game against Man United with seven points from a possible nine. They won their first two games but were held to a draw last time, dropping off the pace set by Man City, the only remaining team with a 100% win record. Their points tally is shared by four other teams, meaning a win on Sunday would drive Arsenal back into contention. They beat Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace before ending 2-2 with Fulham last time. Man Utd under pressure Manchester United is the away team on Sunday, but they finished lower in the pecking order than their opponents last season and are already three places lower in the league. United has also suffered its first defeat, with their stats showing two wins and a loss. It's early in the season, and there's plenty of football to play, but defeat in London would knock United down the list and seriously damage their chances of challenging for the title. Man Utd played three games in August, starting with a 1-0 win at Old Trafford against Wolverhampton Wanderers, a team they were favourites to beat. It was a little closer than most expected, but a goal from Varane on 76 minutes was enough to secure the points. United then suffered a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham in North London before bouncing back to defeat Nottingham Forest 3-2 last time, battling back from two goals behind inside four minutes. It was a real test of character for United. Arsenal v Man Utd prediction The highlight of Sunday's Premier League schedule will live up to the hype, and fans hope we're treated to a few more goals. Which team will end on top, securing all three points and the bragging rights for fans? Fans in London will back the Gunners, and if they start better than last weekend, the crowd will get right behind the players in such an important fixture. If Man Utd are to get anything from this tussle, they can't play like they did last Saturday, going two goals behind early in the contest. They fought back from 2-0 down to Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford, but if they handed Arsenal a two-goal lead on Sunday, things could get messy fast. Premier League odds The pre-match betting odds available at 22bet make for interesting reading with traders struggling to separate the big guns. Arsenal using their home advantage to claim victory is priced at 1.79, or you can back an away win for Man Utd in London at 4.08. The draw will net backers 3.98 if you can't pick sides. 22Bet members benefit from over 100 pre-match and in-play betting odds and markets on this game.

Bet here Bet here Followers of the Spanish La Liga have an action-packed Sunday with four games on the schedule, all of which will be shown live on television. It's a fantastic opportunity to get up to speed on the latest from Spain in a critical season for the top teams, including Barcelona and Real Madrid. Title challengers Atletico Madrid host Sevilla from 17:30 as the locals aim to make home advantage count and add weight to their title challenge. Sevilla is the visiting team, and this game could come at the worst time for them following a dreadful start to the season. They have a hectic campaign ahead but need improvement in all areas of the squad if they are to climb the table and start challenging for the major places. The home win is popular with pundits, but the visitors are under pressure and dangerous. Arsenal vs Man Utd Prediction: Premier League Match on 03.09.2023 Hosts remain unbeaten Atletico Madrid couldn't take advantage of Atletico Madrid's drop in form last year and could not stop Barcelona from returning as the champions. The locals aim for higher this term and have started positively, taking seven points from the nine available. Two wins and a draw leave Atletico in second place behind Real Madrid, who carries a 100% record and are looking like they'll take some stopping this season. Another three points for Madrid would put pressure on their city rivals. Atletico played three times in August, winning two and drawing the spare. They opened the campaign with a comfortable 3-1 win over Granada at this venue, making light work of what could've been a tricky outing. Madrid ended goalless with Real Betis in their first road trip of the campaign but fired back to destroy Rayo Vallecano last weekend, recording an emphatic 7-0 away win. That was a strong example of what the squad can do when on form. Will we enjoy another goal-fest on Sunday? Sevilla stuck to the bottom Sevilla is a team full of surprises. You'll see them struggling in La Liga and performing above expectations in Europe, winning big games and trophies. They were strong on the continent last season but poor in La Liga, and those domestic problems have continued into this campaign. Sevilla has lost its opening three league games, scoring five goals but conceding eight. They are now stuck hard to the bottom of the league, and some fans are already reaching for the panic button. In Sevilla's three games during August, they lost at home to Valencia on matchday one, suffered a painful 4-3 reverse away to Alaves, and rounded off a dreadful month with a 2-1 home defeat to Girona. Sevilla also lost to Man City on penalties in the European Super Cup as the Champions League winners beat the Europa League champs. That shows again Sevilla plays better in Europe than Spain, but that's a bad habit the team must halt sharpish. Atletico Madrid v Sevilla prediction The home team is unbeaten in three games and is already putting pressure on leaders Real Madrid. They have started strongly and know this is a great chance to add another three points at home and remain in contention, poised to punish any mistakes the early market leaders make. The locals are scoring goals, winning, and playing with confidence. Sevilla is the away team with three defeats on the board and eight goals conceded. They are capable going forward, and their attack will cause Atletico problems, but Sevilla has been weak at the back in recent games, and that's the biggest worry for their fans. If Atletico scores an early goal, things could get ugly for the visitors. La Liga odds The pre-match betting odds offered by 22Bet have Atletico Madrid at 1.456 for another home win and three points. Sevilla backers will find their team trading at 6.85 for victory on the road and their first three points of the season, or you can back the draw at 4.52. In addition to match betting, 22Bet customers can wager on several eye-catching markets, including both teams to score, handicap, first goalscorer, anyti...

Both Brest and Rennes currently sit in the top six spots in the league standings, and both will be looking to continue their excellent run of form on Saturday.

But, that early season momentum was ended on Saturday, as they suffered a 2-0 loss on the road against Marseille. Brest played well enough to pick up a point in that fixture, but their rivals took the game away from them with goals at crucial stages. Brest dominated the possession in the match, and they registered an impressive seven shots on target. Their performance would still highlight that there is more to come this season.

They come into this match after being held to draws in each of their last two matches. But, a victory this weekend could take them into the top three. Rennes played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in their most recent fixture, as there was nothing to separate themselves and Le Harve. The Rennes goals in that tie both came inside the opening 25 minutes, with Ludovic Blas opening the scoring, before Christopher Wooh doubled the advantage. However, they let their rivals back into the match. Brest have recorded just one win in their last 17 matches against Rennes, with the visitors this weekend having landed eleven wins over the same period.

The team from Naples were very professional on matchday two, as they recorded a first home win of the season against Sassuolo.

Bet here It has been a worrying start to the new season for Lazio, as they sit in the bottom three places after the opening two rounds of matches.

However, those chances were dealt a slight blow on matchday two, as the Italian side suffered a first defeat of the new season. The loss leaves them down in eighth place, but they will be confident that they have the quality to bounce back this weekend. Atalanta's winning start to the new season was halted on Saturday afternoon, as they fell to a shock 2-1 defeat on the road against newly promoted Frosinone. The Italian side went into the break 2-0 down, but threatened to get back into the contest after Duvan Zapata found the back of the net with just over half an hour remaining. However, they weren't able to find a second goal in the remaining time. Bet here Monza sit just a place below Atalanta in the current standings after they responded to defeat on the opening day by claiming victory on matchday two.

Leverkusen maintained their excellent form at the start of the new campaign with a dominant showing against Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday, as they landed a comfortable 3-0 win on the road. Victor Boniface was in excellent form in front of goal, as he netted twice. Meanwhile, Jonathan Tah also scored in the win. Leverkusen recorded 24 shots in that win, with eleven hitting the target. Another vibrant attacking performance is likely this weekend. Bet here It hasn't been such a pleasing start to the new season for Darmstadt, as the newly promoted side currently sits in the automatic relegation places at this very early stage. They have lost each of their opening two matches this term, and have conceded five goals and scored just once. They were outclassed in their second match of the season, as they were easily beaten by table-topping Union Berlin in front of their home fans. Darmstadt conceded three inside the opening 45 minutes, despite the fact that the visitors were reduced to ten men after just 21 minutes. Marvin Mehlem at least gave the home fans something to cheer about, as he netted their first goal in the Bundesliga this term. Bayer Leverkusen vs Darmstadt Head to Head Leverkusen have won three of the previous four clashes between these sides in the Bundesliga. That includes victories in each of the last three. The most recent clash between the teams came in April 2017, with Leverkusen landing a 2-0 win on the road. Bayer Leverkusen vs Darmstadt Prediction Leverkusen have made an incredibly bright start to the new season, and we fully expect them to continue their impressive start this weekend. We expect the hosts to land a comfortable victory over Darmstadt, with over 2.5 goals being scored. Make sure to bet on Bayer Leverkusen vs Darmstadt with 22Bet!
Bet here Real Betis will be back in front of their home fans this weekend, as they chase a second victory of the season. However, Rayo Vallecano should come into this fixture in excellent form after winning two of their opening three matches. Alaves vs Valencia Prediction: La Liga Match on 02.09.2023 La Liga Preview It has been a fine start to the new season for Rayo Vallecano, as they have won two of their opening three matches. However, there will be pressure on the visitors this weekend to bounce back after they were handed a first loss of the new season in their most recent fixture. Despite that defeat, they remain eighth in the standings. A huge performance will be expected by Vallecano this weekend, as they were ruthlessly swatted aside by Atletico Madrid on Monday evening in front of their home fans. The visitors this weekend allowed seven goals against the Spanish giants, with three being netted inside the opening 36 minutes. Vallecano were poor defensively throughout that fixture, and they could have easily lost by a double-digit scoreline. Bet here Real Betis started the new season in fine form, as they opened their campaign with a strong victory on matchday one. However, they haven't been able to maintain those excellent performance levels in their two following matches, as they have been held to a draw and beaten over the last two weeks. Betis will also be looking for a response this weekend, as they suffered a big defeat on matchday three at the hands of Athletic Bilbao. The hosts this weekend allowed four goals in that defeat, despite racing into a 2-0 lead inside the opening ten minutes. Betis dominated the possession, but they never looked dangerous after falling 3-2 behind on the stroke of half time. Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano Head to Head Betis boast a fine recent record in this fixture in La Liga matches, as they are unbeaten in their last eight. Over that period, they have recorded five wins, which includes victories in each of the last two. They were 3-1 winners in this exact fixture in May. Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction Vallecano will need to address their defensive issues following a heavy loss at the hands of Atletico Madrid. However, we have confidence that they will be able to bounce back to winning ways on Saturday, and a chance will be taken on them to secure a rare victory on the road against Betis.

Bet here Alaves and Valencia both suffered defeats in the Spanish top-flight last weekend, and both will be looking to get back on track in La Liga before the first international break of the new season. But, which team will land maximum points on Saturday? Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction: La Liga Match on 02.09.2023 La Liga Preview Valencia had made an excellent start to the new season before the fixtures in La Liga last weekend, as they had landed two straight wins. However, that winning run was halted domestically last weekend, and a response will now be expected from the Spanish giants when they return to action in the Spanish top flight on Saturday. Valencia still sits sixth in the standings, and they were hugely unfortunate to end up on the wrong end of the scoreline last weekend, as they were ultimately beaten 2-1 by Osasuna. The match-winning goal for the visitors was scored in the fifth minute of injury time, and was only their second effort on target. Valencia dictated the play throughout, and they looked to be heading towards a deserved point following Hugo Duro's effort with ten minutes remaining. Bet here Alaves will also be looking to respond this weekend, as they suffered a second defeat in three matches last weekend. The defeat means that they now sit 14th in the standings, with their only victory of the campaign being recorded on matchday two. However, they were unable to land maximum points for the second week running on Monday. Alaves played very defensively on the road against Getafe, and they were made to pay for that approach, as the hosts landed maximum points after converting their penalty with six minutes left to play. It's likely that a similar approach will be adopted against Valencia once again this weekend. Alaves vs Valencia Head to Head Alaves have a fine record in this fixture, as they have lost just once in their last five matches against Valencia. The hosts also won this exact fixture by a 2-1 scoreline in their previous encounter. However, three of the last five clashes have ended in draws. Alaves vs Valencia Prediction Both sides will be looking to get back on track after suffering defeats last weekend. However, the draw could be an interesting betting angle this weekend based on the fact that three of the last five have ended in ties. Make sure to bet on Alaves vs Valencia with 22Bet!

La Liga Preview Real Madrid have started the new season looking like they mean business, and they will be hoping to extend their advantage at the top of the standings this weekend when they play their first home match of the season against Getafe. It has been a stunning start to the new season for Real Madrid, as they are the only team in Spain still sporting a 100% record after three matches. That record is even more impressive considering that they have played each of their opening three matches this term away from home. However, this weekend they return to the Bernabeu. The Spanish giants continued their excellent start to the new season last Friday, as Jude Bellingham was once again the match-winner. Bellingham netted the only goal against Celta Vigo with just nine minutes of the 90 remaining. It was a battling performance by Madrid, as they registered just three shots on target. But, this new-look side is looking extremely challenging to break down over the opening month. Bet here Getafe will be the first visitors to the new-look Bernabeu this weekend, as they look to build on a fairly impressive start to the new season. The Spanish club have won once, drawn once, and lost once over their opening three matches, as they sit eleventh in the overall standings. Getafe finally landed a first victory of the season in their most recent fixture, as they landed maximum points against Alaves in front of their own fans. They needed to be patient in that fixture, with their winning goal eventually being scored from the penalty spot with just six minutes remaining. Borja Mayoral was the match-winner for Getafe last weekend. Real Madrid boasts an excellent record in this fixture, as they have won 23 of the previous 27 matches between the sides, averaging 2.6 goals per game. The hosts have won each of the last three clashes between the sides, which includes a 1-0 win in this exact fixture last term. This looks like a good fixture for Real Madrid to open their home campaign with maximum points this weekend. We expect the hosts to continue their perfect start to the new season by picking up a 3-0 win. Make sure to bet on Real Madrid vs Getafe with 22Bet!

Bet here Real Sociedad's tricky start to the new La Liga season has continued, and they will continue their search for a first league win of the campaign on Saturday when they play host Granada. The visitors are searching for a second win of the season. Real Madrid vs Getafe Prediction: La Liga Match on 02.09.2023 La Liga Preview It has been a testing start to the new La Liga season for Real Sociedad, as they look far from the side that managed to finish the previous campaign in the Champions League spots. Sociedad come into this fixture having gone their opening three matches without a win, while they have found the back of the net on just two occasions. The Spanish side would have been extremely disappointed with their previous performance, as they couldn't find the quality to land maximum points against newly promoted Las Palmas. Sociedad managed just a single shot on target against the minnows, as the sides played out a 0-0 draw. However, there would have been few complaints had Las Palmas landed maximum points in that fixture last Friday. Bet here Granada currently sit below their rivals coming into the matches this weekend, but they have already landed a victory this term. They finally got off the mark for the new season last weekend, as they ended a two-game losing run by landing a hard-earned victory at home against Mallorca. It was a thrilling fixture between the two sides, with the match-winning goal being netted from the penalty spot by Myrto Uzuni with just 20 minutes remaining. They held on well in the final stages to land maximum points, but they will likely not be able to afford Sociedad the same number of chances as they did Mallorca this weekend. Real Sociedad vs Granada Head to Head Sociedad have enjoyed this fixture in recent seasons, as they have won each of their last two, and three of their previous four against Granada. That includes a 2-0 win in this exact fixture last season. Granada are winless in their previous two trips to Sociedad since a 3-2 win in July 2020. Real Sociedad vs Granada Prediction This could be one of the highest scoring fixtures in La Liga this weekend. Both sides have excellent quality in the final third, and neither have been without their issues defensively this term. Therefore, we will be siding with Sociedad to land victory, but both teams finding the back of the net. Make sure to bet on Real Sociedad vs Granada with 22Bet!

Bet here Two sides that will be looking to get back on track in the Premier League will lock horns this weekend. Brighton and Newcastle were both beaten last weekend, but which side will land maximum points on the south coast in Saturday's late game? Man City vs Fulham Prediction: Premier League Match on 02.09.2023 Premier League Preview Brighton had started the new season in excellent fashion with wins over Luton and Wolves. However, they were brought crashing back down to earth last weekend, as they were beaten handsomely by West Ham United at the Amex. But, the Seagulls will be looking to get back on track this weekend when they welcome Newcastle to town. Brighton looked very suspect defensively last weekend, as West Ham were able to break down their defence with ease throughout the second half. The only moment to cheer about from a Seagulls perspective came in the 81st minute as Pascal Gross scored an excellent goal. However, they will need to be stronger defensively and more clinical in the final third against Newcastle this weekend. Bet here Newcastle United will also be looking for a response this weekend, as they were left shell shocked in the final minutes against Liverpool last weekend. The Reds scored twice in the final ten minutes to shockingly record all three points, despite playing the majority of the match with ten men. Newcastle only had themselves to blame in that fixture, as they appeared to be coasting to maximum points after Anthony Gordon's opener in the 25th minute. However, defensive mistakes cost them in the closing stages, as the Magpies suffered a second straight defeat in the Premier League. A response will be needed by Eddie Howe's side this weekend against a tricky opponent. Brighton vs Newcastle Head to Head Newcastle have an excellent recent record in this fixture, as they are unbeaten in their last four against the Seagulls. However, both of their two wins over that period were secured at St. James' Park. The most recent of those was a 4-1 win in May 2023. However, this exact fixture last term ended in a goalless draw. Brighton vs Newcastle Prediction Newcastle's recent record in this fixture deserves respect. However, the Magpies are yet to win at the Amex in the Premier League, and that would be a concern. Therefore, a good betting angle could be on the draw, as these two sides have played out ties on six occasions since 2017. Make sure to bet on Brighton vs Newcastle with 22Bet!

Premier League Preview Manchester City are the only team in the Premier League with a perfect record at this stage. They will be looking to continue their excellent start on Saturday when they come up against Marco Silva's Fulham at the Etihad. Manchester City are the only side remaining in the Premier League with a perfect record after three rounds of fixtures. It has been a dominant start to the new season for the reigning champions, and they will be heavily favoured in the betting this weekend to maintain that reliable start to the 2023-24 campaign. City needed to ride their luck to maintain their excellent start to the new season, as they required a late Rodri winner to land maximum points against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. The victory appeared to be slipping away in that fixture after United had equalised with just five minutes remaining. Erling Haaland also found the net in the win after missing a penalty in the opening 45 minutes. Bet here Fulham will likely come into this match in good confidence, as they have impressed on the road already this term. The Cottagers landed maximum points against Everton in their first match away from Craven Cottage, before they battled to earn a point against Arsenal at the Emirates last weekend. Fulham took a very early lead in that match after just a minute, before Joao Palhinha rescued a point with just three minutes of the 90 remaining. Silva's side needed to show their battling qualities to hold on to a point at the Emirates, and they played the final ten minutes with ten men after Calvin Bassey was sent off. Man City have won 17 of their 21 matches against Fulham in recent history, which includes victories in each of the last 14 across all competitions. Fulham's most recent win against City was secured at the Etihad in April 2009. Each of the last two clashes have seen City run out as 2-1 winners, including most recently in April. Fulham were excellent at the Emirates last weekend, but this appears a much trickier assignment without one of their best defenders. Therefore, we would be very surprised if Man City don't claim maximum points in their final match before the international break. Make sure to bet on Man City vs Fulham with 22Bet!

Bet here Chelsea finally opened their account of the season in their previous home match, and they will be looking for a second straight win under Mauricio Pochettino this weekend. Nottingham Forest will be the visitors to Stamford Bridge as they bid to bounce back. Burnley vs Tottenham Prediction: Premier League Match on 02.09.2023 Premier League Preview Chelsea finally managed to get off the mark under their new coach on matchday three, as they recorded a straightforward 3-0 win over Luton Town at Stamford Bridge. There will be pressure on the Blues to back up that performance this weekend, as they come up against a Nottingham Forest side that have already given Man United and Arsenal problems. Pochettino was delighted with his side's performance last weekend, as the Blues eased to a 3-0 win over Luton in front of their own fans. Raheem Sterling was the standout star for Chelsea, as the England international netted twice. There was also a first Premier League goal of the season in that win for Nicolas Jackson in the second period. Bet here It hasn't been the easiest start to the season for Nottingham Forest, as they have already faced away trips to Arsenal and Man United. However, Steve Cooper's side have more than held their own in those tricky tests, including recently at Old Trafford, as they were eventually beaten 3-2. Forest may believe that they missed an opportunity to gain a famous win in that fixture, as they led 2-0 after just four minutes. Once again, Taiwo Awoniyi found the net in the defeat at Old Trafford, as he scored for the seventh Premier League game running. The manner of their performance would give them encouragement ahead of their trip to Stamford Bridge this weekend. Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Head to Head Chelsea are unbeaten in their five matches against Forest since 2017, winning on three occasions. However, Forest avoided defeat in each of the two clashes between the sides in the league last term. The most recent clash between the sides came in May, with Forest earning a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Prediction Forest can certainly take confidence from their recent trips to the Emirates and Old Trafford ahead of this fixture. Despite Chelsea's win over Luton, the Blues are still a work in progress this term. Therefore, a chance will be taken on the draw when these sides clash on Saturday.

Premier League Preview Tottenham have made an excellent start to the new Premier League season, and they will be looking to continue their fine form at Turf Moor on Saturday. Burnley will be the hosts, as they chase a first win of the season at the third attempt. The Ange Postecoglou era at Tottenham Hotspur has got off to a promising start. Spurs are one of the few sides that still boast an unbeaten record in the Premier League this term, and they could move nearer to the top of the standings this weekend if they are able to pick up maximum points on the road against Burnley. Spurs maintained their excellent start under their new coach last Saturday, as they battled to a 2-0 win on the road against Bournemouth. James Maddison passed a late fitness test to be involved, and the midfielder netted the opener after 17 minutes. The advantage was doubled with just under half an hour remaining by Dejan Kulusevski. It is the third straight season in which Spurs have gone the opening three matches of the season unbeaten. Bet here Vincent Kompany's Burnley haven't enjoyed the best start to life back in the Premier League this term, as they have suffered two straight defeats at Turf Moor. The Clarets were easily beaten by City on matchday one, and that was follow up by a 3-1 loss against Aston Villa on Sunday. Burnley conceded twice inside the opening 20 minutes, and they only threatened to get back into the game following Lyle Foster's effort early in the second half. However, they have now lost each of their opening two matches in the Premier League for the third straight season. Tottenham have a fine record in this fixture, as they have won three of their last four against the Clarets. However, their only away win in three visits was recorded in October 2020. Burnley were 1-0 winners on the previous occasion that Tottenham travelled to Turf Moor. The Clarets will need to make life more challenging than they have for each of the previous two visitors to Turf Moor on Saturday.

Burnley will be the hosts, as they chase a first win of the season at the third attempt. Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Prediction: Premier League Match on 02.09.2023 Premier League Preview The Ange Postecoglou era at Tottenham Hotspur has got off to a promising start. Spurs are one of the few sides that still boast an unbeaten record in the Premier League this term, and they could move nearer to the top of the standings this weekend if they are able to pick up maximum points on the road against Burnley. Spurs maintained their excellent start under their new coach last Saturday, as they battled to a 2-0 win on the road against Bournemouth. James Maddison passed a late fitness test to be involved, and the midfielder netted the opener after 17 minutes. The advantage was doubled with just under half an hour remaining by Dejan Kulusevski. It is the third straight season in which Spurs have gone the opening three matches of the season unbeaten. Bet here Vincent Kompany's Burnley haven't enjoyed the best start to life back in the Premier League this term, as they have suffered two straight defeats at Turf Moor. The Clarets were easily beaten by City on matchday one, and that was follow up by a 3-1 loss against Aston Villa on Sunday. Burnley conceded twice inside the opening 20 minutes, and they only threatened to get back into the game following Lyle Foster's effort early in the second half. However, they have now lost each of their opening two matches in the Premier League for the third straight season. Burnley vs Tottenham Head to Head Tottenham have a fine record in this fixture, as they have won three of their last four against the Clarets. However, their only away win in three visits was recorded in October 2020. Burnley were 1-0 winners on the previous occasion that Tottenham travelled to Turf Moor.

Premier League Preview Brentford look to continue their positive start to the new Premier League season this weekend, as they will host Bournemouth. The Cherries are still without a victory in three matches, and they have suffered back-to-back defeats coming into this weekend. Brentford will be looking to continue their progression this term, as they have their sights set on exceeding their best-ever finish in a top-flight campaign last term. The Bees have started the new season in excellent form, as they have won once in their opening three matches. However, they are yet to suffer a defeat this term. Thomas Frank's side had to settle for a point in their previous match, as they played out a 1-1 draw at home against Crystal Palace. Their only effort in that tie was netted by Kevin Schade, which was also their only attempt on target in 90 minutes. The draw means that the Bees are still unbeaten across their last 12 Premier League matches against sides from London, winning six and drawing six over that period. Bet here The pressure will continue to rise on the shoulders of Andoni Iraola, as the Cherries are still searching for their first league win of the season. A disappointing start to the new season has seen Bournemouth suffer two defeats in their last two matches, which came after a positive start to the season at the Vitality against West Ham. Bournemouth were outclassed in their previous Premier League match, as they fell to a 2-0 home loss against Tottenham. The Cherries managed just three shots on target in that defeat, but they rarely threatened the Spurs goal throughout the fixture. Furthermore, Bournemouth have now conceded the opening goal in 25 matches since the start of last season. Brentford was unbeaten in the two Premier League clashes between these sides last term. That includes a 2-0 win in this exact fixture. In fact, the Bees are unbeaten in their last seven league matches against the Cherries across fixtures in the Premier League, Championship, and League One. Brentford were below their best last weekend against Palace, but this will be an ideal opportunity for them to get back on track in front of their home fans. We expect the Bees to be back to their best on Saturday, and we struggle to see anything other than a home win. Make sure to bet on Brentford vs Bournemouth with 22Bet!

Two sides without a win in the Premier League this term will collide on matchday four. Sheffield United will have home field advantage, while Everton will be looking to recover following a miserable start to the new campaign. Everton and Sheffield United have both endured a miserable start to the new season, and both will be hopeful that this Saturday's clash can result in a first win of the season. The Blades will have home field advantage this weekend, as they look to kick on following an impressive display against Manchester City last weekend. It was an impressive display by United at Bramall Lane, but they were ultimately left pondering what could have been following City's winner with just two minutes of normal time remaining. The Blades battled well to get back into the game with five minutes remaining, but they were caught napping just three minutes after dragging themselves level. The defeat means that United have now lost each of their opening three matches this season, meaning it is the third time in top-flight history that they started the campaign with that record. Bet here There will be pressure on Sean Dyche this weekend, as Everton are still searching for a first point and goal this term. The Toffees narrowly avoided relegation to the second tier last term, and they already sit bottom of the Premier League standings this term after the opening three matches. They have already allowed six goals, but the fact that they are without a goal this term would be a huge concern. Their most recent loss was suffered at Goodison Park on Saturday, as they fell to a 1-0 loss against fellow strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers. This is the fifth top-flight meeting between the sides since 2019. Everton and United have both recorded two wins apiece. However, interestingly, each of the last four have been won by the side playing on the road. Everton won on their previous visit to Bramall Lane in December 2020. The trend of away victories in this fixture looks challenging to overlook this weekend. We would be surprised if there are over 2.5 goals in this fixture, and the main play from a betting perspective would be for Everton to land a first victory of the 2023-24 season.

Bet here Bet here It has been a solid enough start to the new season for Marseille, and they will be looking to continue their fine form when they visit Nantes on Friday. The hosts will be looking for a first victory of the 2023-24 season. Sassuolo vs Hellas Verona Prediction: Serie A Match on 01.09.2023 Ligue 1 Preview Marseille will be looking to continue their strong start to the new season this weekend, as they bid to record a second straight victory in Ligue 1. At present, they sit second in the overall standings, but they could move to the top of the table before their rivals have the opportunity to respond this weekend. Marseille picked up a second league win of the season on Saturday, as they secured a 2-0 home win over Brest. It was the very least that they deserved from that match, as they managed six shots on target despite having just 44% of the possession. Their opening goal was netted after just four minutes by Chancel Mbemba Mangulu, before the advantage was doubled with 25 minutes remaining by Ismalie Sarr. It has been a poor start to the 2023-24 season for Nantes, as they already look in danger of getting dragged into the relegation battle this term. At present, they sit just above the relegation playoff spot, but they have picked up just one point from a possible nine across the opening three matchdays. But, Nantes ended their losing run at the start of the new season on matchday three, as they picked up a hard earned point against AS Monaco. However, they likely should have landed maximum points after racing into a 3-1 lead early in the second half. But, Monaco responded and claimed a point following their equalising goal with just five minutes of the 90 remaining. Nantes vs Marseille Head to Head Marseille boasts an excellent recent record in this fixture, as they have won each of their last four against Nantes. That includes a 2-0 win in this exact fixture last season. They also landed a 2-1 win in the first meeting between the sides in 2022-23. Nantes vs Marseille Prediction Nantes would have taken confidence from their draw against Monaco last weekend, but they were once again unable to get over the line with a win. Therefore, we could see their disappointing start to the new season continuing on Friday, with Marseille landing maximum points on the road. Make sure to bet on Nantes vs Marseille with 22Bet!

The action in Serie A this weekend kicks off with Hellas Verona's trip to Sassuolo on Friday evening. The visitors have made a strong start to the new season after winning each of their opening two matches, and a third win before the international break would put them in a promising position. It has been a reliable start to the new season for Hellas Verona, as they look to improve on their finish in the Italian top flight last term. The Italian club have won each of their opening two matches this season, and a third straight victory this weekend would send them to the top of the standings before the sides around them have the opportunity to respond. Verona's excellent start to the new season was maintained in front of their home fans on Saturday, as they picked up a hard-fought 2-1 success over Jose Mourinho's AS Roma. Their efforts in that success were netted by Ondrej Duda and Cyril Ngonge. They held on well in the final stages after being reduced to ten men with six minutes to play on the clock. It has been a contrasting start to the new season for Sassuolo, as they sit bottom of the standings having failed to pick up a single point or found the back of the net at least once. A response will be expected this weekend, as they resume action in front their home fans. At present, Sassuolo sit bottom of the standings, and they were handed a second straight defeat in the league on Sunday, as they suffered a 2-0 loss on the road against Napoli. Their task was made even harder in that fixture, as they were reduced to ten men just six minutes into the second half. There hasn't been a draw between these two sides in the previous six encounters, with Sassuolo winning four of the matches over that period. That includes a 2-1 win in this exact fixture last term. However, Verona landed a 2-1 win in the second match between the sides last term. This should be a competitive match in Serie A this weekend.

Matchday three in the Bundesliga gets underway on Friday, as Borussia Dortmund bid to maintain their unbeaten start to the new season against Heidenheim. The visitors are still chasing a first win since returning to the top flight, but this appears a tricky game for the away side. Borussia Dortmund will be appeased with their start to the new season, but there will be pressure on the German side to bounce back after being held to a draw on matchday two. However, they remain in the top six in the early standings, and they are just two points off the top of the standings. Dortmund failed to land a second straight win in the league on Saturday, as they played out a 1-1 draw on the road against Bochum. Their equalising goal in that match was netted with just over half an hour remaining by Donyell Malen. Dortmund appeared short of ideas in the final third in that match, as they managed just three shots on target despite dominating the possession against their rivals. Heidenheim will be the second visitors to Dortmund this season, as the newly-promoted side will be looking to record a first league win of the season. However, this is one of the most challenging fixtures on the Bundesliga schedule, and a victory for the team on the road would be among the biggest shocks of the season so far. Heidenheim's winless start to the new season continued last weekend, as they suffered a second straight defeat against Hoffenheim. The defeat means that the newly promoted side have now allowed five goals across their two opening matches, and they have scored just two goals. Both of their goals were netted in the 3-2 defeat against Hoffenheim on Saturday. This will only be the second clash between these sides since 2000. Dortmund were winners of the previous clash between the teams, as they landed a 4-3 win in a friendly match in July 2014. It hasn't been the perfect start to the new season for Dortmund, but there will be an expectation that they will have too much for their newly promoted visitors this weekend.

Luton will be hoping to make home advantage count this weekend, as they are still without a win in two matches this term, leaving them in the bottom three places of the Premier League standings. The newly promoted team suffered a second straight defeat on the road last Friday, as they were easily brushed aside at Stamford Bridge by Chelsea. Luton conceded twice in the final half an hour, and managed just a single shot on target in response against a positive Blues outfit. The defeat means that they have now allowed seven goals across their opening two matches, and they have netted just once. David Moyes will be delighted with the start to the season that his Hammers side have met. They currently sit second in the Premier League standings after failing to lose over their opening three matches. The Hammers were in excellent form on the south coast on matchday three, as they landed a shock 3-1 win over Brighton. James Ward-Prowse capped an excellent day for the new signing by finding the net after 19 minutes. Further efforts were added by Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio in the second half.

Luton Town vs West Ham Head to Head This will be the first clash between these sides since Luton landed a 3-2 win in the FA Cup in 1994.

It has been a disappointing start to the new La Liga season for both Almeria and Celta Vigo, as both Spanish clubs remain without a win this term. However, both will have an ideal chance to get off the mark in 2023-24 this weekend, as they lock horns in their final match before the international break. Almeria will be hugely disappointed with the start to the new season that they have made this term. The Spanish club would have been aiming for a top half finish this campaign, but it appears likely that they will be battling to secure their top flight status based on the performances that they have put in over the opening weeks of the 2023-24 season. Almeria's winless run to the new season continued last weekend, but they would have been appeased based on the fact that they were able to end their run of two straight defeats. They needed to show character in their match against Cadiz, with their equalising goal being netted in the fifth minute of injury time. However, they will need to start winning games if they are to move clear of the bottom three. It has also been an underwhelming start to the new season for Celta Vigo, as much would have been expected from the team following the arrival of Rafael Benitez. The Spanish club currently sits just above the drop zone, but they have suffered two defeats in their opening three matches. Their most recent loss was suffered on matchday three, as they were edged out at home to Real Madrid. Celta produced their best display of the new season, but they were poor in front of goal, as they squandered three huge chances to find the back of the net. Almeria have an excellent recent top-flight record in this fixture, as they are unbeaten in the last four clashes between these teams in La Liga. That includes a 3-1 win in this exact fixture last term. Celta's last win over Almeria came in the Copa del Rey in December 2015. Celta's record in this fixture would be a huge concern ahead of this showdown. Therefore, we will be siding with Almeria building momentum on matchday three with a first win of the new La Liga season. Make sure to bet on Almeria vs Celta Vigo with 22Bet!

Bet here Bet here Two sides that are yet to reach their peak level of performance so far this season clash on the final round of matches in La Liga before the international break. Villarreal will be hoping for a response after suffering a second defeat in three matches last weekend. Almeria vs Celta Vigo Prediction: La Liga Match on 01.09.2023 La Liga Preview It hasn't been the best start to the new season for Villarreal, as they have been too easy to beat across the opening month of the campaign. However, they will have the opportunity to get back on track this weekend, as a victory will enhance their chances of potentially finishing in a European spot this term. The Spanish club suffered a second defeat in three matches last weekend, as they fell to a narrow 4-3 loss at home against Barcelona. It was a stunning fixture in La Liga between the two sides, with Barcelona eventually snatching maximum points after scoring the winner with 20 minutes remaining. However, Villarreal would have taken positives from their play in the final third, as they netted three times against the best defense from last season. Cadiz won't be afraid of this challenge on Friday, as they have started the new season in impressive fashion. They have already picked up four points from their opening three matches, with their only defeat coming on the road against Barcelona on matchday two.

Two sides that are yet to reach their peak level of performance so far this season clash on the final round of matches in La Liga before the international break. Villarreal will be hoping for a response after suffering a second defeat in three matches last weekend. It hasn't been the best start to the new season for Villarreal, as they have been too easy to beat across the opening month of the campaign. However, they will have the opportunity to get back on track this weekend, as a victory will enhance their chances of potentially finishing in a European spot this term. The Spanish club suffered a second defeat in three matches last weekend, as they fell to a narrow 4-3 loss at home against Barcelona. It was a stunning fixture in La Liga between the two sides, with Barcelona eventually snatching maximum points after scoring the winner with 20 minutes remaining. However, Villarreal would have taken positives from their play in the final third, as they netted three times against the best defense from last season. Cadiz won't be afraid of this challenge on Friday, as they have started the new season in impressive fashion. They have already picked up four points from their opening three matches, with their only defeat coming on the road against Barcelona on matchday two. They put that defeat behind them last weekend, as they battled to a 1-1 draw against Almeria in front of their home fans. However, Cadiz would have been disappointed not to have landed maximum points in that match, as they opened the scoring after 59 minutes, before conceding a 95th minute equaliser.

They will continue their search for a first league win of the season this weekend when Nice have home advantage. Lorient vs Lille Prediction: Ligue 1 Match on 27.08.2023 Ligue 1 Preview A lot was expected of Lyon before a ball was kicked this season after huge changes both at the highest level and in the dugout. However, the French giants have struggled in each of their opening two matches, and they are already languishing in the relegation places. Lyon have scored just two goals in their first two matches, but they have already conceded six. Lyon were extremely underwhelming in their second match of the season, as they were brushed aside by Montpellier. Alexandre Lacazette scored the only goal for the hosts, but he was later sent off, meaning that he will miss this trip to Nice. Lyon have started the season with successive defeats for the first time since 1966-67. However, they have never previously lost each of their opening three matches of a top-flight campaign. Bet here Nice come into this home match with an unbeaten record, as they have been held to draws in each of their opening two matches. The most recent of those was picked up against Lorient, as Evann Guessand netted the opener for Nice before their rivals equalised with 13 minutes remaining. Their home record is a factor to consider this weekend, as they have suffered just two home defeats from their last 16. Nice have also lost just once in their last eight matches in Ligue 1, which is an excellent turnaround in their form after suffering three successive defeats. Nice vs Lyon Head to Head Lyon have recorded just three wins from their previous ten Ligue 1 matches against Nice. Over the same period, Nice have recorded six victories, which includes a 3-1 win in this exact fixture at the end of last season. But, Lyon have still won 25 of the previous 40 league encounters between the sides.

Serie A Preview The reigning champions wasted little time in showcasing their dominance in Serie A last weekend, as they landed a comfortable win on the road. However, Napoli will be chasing a first home success of the season on Sunday when they host Sassuolo. Napoli finally got their hands back on the top prize in Italian football at the end of last season, but retaining the Serie A title is a much more challenging feat. However, the team would have been delighted with their performance in the opening round of matches, as they managed to overcome newly promoted Frosinone to land a 3-1 victory on the road. A lot was made surrounding the future of Victor Osimhen throughout the summer, but the Nigerian picked up from where he left off last term on the opening day. He scored two excellent goals to secure the win for Napoli. The Italian club's opening effort was netted after 24 minutes through Matteo Politano. Napoli have an excellent record in their first home match of the new season, as they have opened their home campaign with a win in each of the last seven seasons. Bet here Sassuolo were handed a wake up call on the opening day of the Serie A season, as they were routinely beaten by Atalanta last weekend. The Italian side managed to register just three shots on target in the defeat, but never looked like getting themselves back into the contest.

Bet here Lecce should be a challenging opponent for Fiorentina this weekend, as they also come into this match after landing victory on the opening day of the season. Their win on matchday one was a huge shock for many, as they landed a 2-1 success against Lazio in front of their home fans. It was an excellent response by Lecce, as they scored twice in the final five minutes to turn the game on its head. Lecce could go their opening two matches in a Serie A season without defeat for just the third time in their history. However, they have never previously won each of their opening two games to start the season. Lecce have landed nine wins in their previous 30 matches against Fiorentina in Serie A. That record means that they have recorded the second-most wins against their rivals than they have against any other team in the top-flight. This will be a fascinating showdown between these sides have both started the new season with impressive displays on matchday one. However, we expect Fiorentina to continue their hot streak on the opening weekends of the season in front of their home fans. Make sure to bet on Fiorentina vs Lecce with 22Bet!

La Liga Preview It has been a good start to the new season for Valencia this term, as they have put their relegation scrap from last term behind them over the opening weeks. They will be looking to record a third straight win to start the new season on Sunday against Osasuna. Huge positives would have been taken from Valencia's start to the new season, as they have put their disappointments from the previous campaign in the rear mirror. Expectations have certainly increased based on their performance levels, with some even now expecting Valencia to potentially challenge for a place in Europe. The Spanish giants were extremely patient in their most recent La Liga match, as they needed to wait until the 74th minute to score the winning goal against Las Palmas. Their winning effort was netted by Pepelu, and was just their fourth shot on target in the match. Their performance was slightly worse than their opening, but picking up a winning feeling would be a huge bonus ahead of a busy run of fixtures. Bet here This fixture comes at a challenging time for Osasuna this week, as they will have one eye on their Europa Conference League playoff tie against Club Brugge. Osasuna have picked up three points from their opening two matches this season, and they have scored twice and allowed two goals in 180 minutes of action. However, a response will be required this weekend, as Osasuna suffered a 2-0 loss on matchday two against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday. They only had themselves to blame in that defeat, as Osasuna dominated the ball and created 18 opportunities. However, they were unable to find the net, despite having seven shots on target. Valencia have picked up wins in 13 of the previous 23 encounters between these two sides. That includes victories in each of the previous two, and three of the last four. They were 1-0 winners in this exact fixture last season, which was played in March. Valencia have started the new season in an impressive manner, but their performance level last seen was a little underwhelming. Osasuna did everything but score against Bilbao, and we expect them to correct that issue in front of goal against their rivals this weekend. Make sure to bet on Valencia vs Osasuna with 22Bet!

The big match in the Premier League this weekend comes from St. James Park on Sunday, as Newcastle United look to bounce back from a recent defeat when Liverpool come to the North East. Newcastle made a dominant start to life at home this season on the opening weekend of the campaign, as they landed a huge 5-1 win over Aston Villa. However, their first defeat was suffered last weekend, as they were beaten by the reigning champions, Man City, at the Etihad. The defeat was a disappointing outcome for the Magpies, and it now means that they have lost each of their last 15 away matches against City. But, they will have the ideal opportunity to bounce back this weekend. Newcastle looked short in the final third last weekend, as they looked to play on the counter-attack against a possession-based opponent. They will likely dominate the midfield battle against the Reds this weekend, and that could be the key factor in their favour in terms of claiming maximum points. Bet here Liverpool will be happy enough with their start to the new season, as they are unbeaten across their opening two matches of the campaign. The Reds landed a first league win of the season last weekend, as they came back from a goal down to secure a 3-1 success against Bournemouth at Anfield. Luis Diaz was the star for Jurgen Klopp's side, as the Colombian scored for the second game running. There were also goals in the win for Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota. Alexis Mac Allister was sent off on his home debut with just over half an hour remaining, but the ban has been overturned, meaning that he will be available for selection at St. James' Park. Liverpool boasts an excellent record in this fixture, as they have won each of the last four league meetings. They are also without a league defeat in 14 against the Magpies, with Newcastle's most recent win coming back in December 2015. Newcastle will enjoy being back in front of their home fans this weekend. However, the trend of Liverpool wins in this fixture could be challenging to overlook. Therefore, a chance will be taken on the Reds to land a significant win on the road against one of their Champions League rivals. Make sure to bet on Newcastle vs Liverpool with 22Bet!

Bet here The reigning champions will be back in Premier League action on Sunday, as they will be looking to land a third straight win to start the new season. Sheffield United will be the hosts, as they look for a first point this term. Burnley vs Aston Villa Prediction: Premier League Match on 27.08.2023 Premier League Preview It has been an impressive start to the 2023-24 season for the reigning Premier League champions, as Manchester City go in hunt for a historic fourth straight title. City eased to an opening win of the season on the opening night, as they landed a 3-0 win over Burnley, and they increased their performance levels last weekend to cruise past Newcastle United. City broke the deadlock after the half hour mark, with Julian Alvarez scoring an excellent goal after neat build-up play. The champions wasn't able to add to their advantage but they defended excellently to limit Newcastle to just one shot on goal. Phil Foden was in excellent form last weekend, as he created seven chances, which was his most in a single Premier League fixture. Bet here The pressure will continue to increase on Sheffield United this weekend, as the Blades are still looking to secure their first point since returning to the Premier League. They came close to picking up a point last weekend, as they were denied a draw in the closing staged by Nottingham Forest. It was a much improved effort by United, with Gustavo Hamer scoring their first goal since returning to the Premier League. But, a moment of defensively vulnerability allowed Chris Wood to score a headed winner with just a minute remaining of the 90. They will need to defend much better this weekend. Sheffield United vs Man City Head to Head Man City comes into this match after winning each of their previous five fixtures against the Blades. Over that period, City are yet to concede. The most recent encounter came in the FA Cup last term, with the treble-winners landing a 3-0 win at Wembley Stadium. Sheffield United vs Man City Prediction Sheffield United will need to be much harder to break down this weekend if they are to get anything from the game. However, we find it incredibly difficult to overlook the free-flowing champions, meaning that a comfortable win for City is the most likely outcome. Make sure to bet on Sheffield United vs Man City with 22Bet!

Premier League Preview It will be the battle of the claret and blue at Turf Moor on Sunday, as Aston Villa collide with Burnley. This will one by Burnley's second match of the season, while Villa will be looking for a second straight win after an impressive display against Everton. A lot was expected of Aston Villa before a ball was kicked this season, and they faltered to deceive on the opening day after being rolled over by Newcastle. However, they got back on track with an impressive display in their opening home match of the season against Everton. Unai Emery's side were in complete control from minute one against the Toffees, and safely secured a 4-0 win in front of their home fans. Two efforts were netted in the opening 45 minutes by Douglas Luiz and John McGinn, before Leon Bailey and Jhon Duran extended the advantage in the second period. The victory was their eighth straight home win in the Premier League, matching a record that was set in February 1990. Over their excellent period at Villa Park, they have allowed just two goals. Bet here Burnley find themselves toward the bottom of the Premier League standings, as they haven't been in action since the opening night of the season. Their clash with Luton on matchday one was postponed as the hosts requested the cancellation to complete updates to Kenilworth Road. Due to that, the Clarets sit toward the bottom of the standings coming into this match, as they were easily beaten by Manchester City on the opening night. It was an opening night for Burnley, as they were ruthlessly punished by the champions after making defensive mistakes. They will also be without Anass Zaroury on Sunday, as he was sent off in the opener. Aston Villa have won two of the previous five clashes between these sides, which includes a win at Turf Moor on their most recent visit in May 2022. The latest clash also came in May 2022, with the points shared following a 1-1 draw at Villa Park. Villa was excellent in their second match of the season, but they will likely be asked more questions at Turf Moor this weekend. However, we don't expect them to have any issues, and we will be siding with the away side landing maximum points. Make sure to bet on Burnley vs Aston Villa with 22Bet!

Bet here It has been an underwhelming start to the new season for both PSG and Lens, as neither have yet picked up a league win in 2023-24. However, both teams will have the opportunity to get off the mark for the new season with a success this weekend in Paris. Marseille vs Brest Prediction: Ligue 1 Match on 26.08.2023 Ligue 1 Preview Life under Luis Enrique hasn't got off to the best of starts for PSG, as the reigning champions are still searching for their first league win of the season. The Parisians were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw by Lorient in their first home match of the season, and things didn't really improve last weekend. PSG opened the scoring against Toulouse on matchday two through Kylian Mbappe, but the hosts levelled the scores in the final three minutes. The second straight draw means that PSG will now be looking to avoid going their opening three matches to a season without a win since 2012-13. However, they have picked up just seven points from their last seven matches at the Parc des Princes. Bet here It also hasn't been an ideal start to the new season for Lens, as they look to build on an impressive campaign in 2022-23. Over the opening two weekends of the season, they have picked up just one point. They bounced back from an opening day defeat against Brest last weekend, as they played out a 1-1 home draw against Rennes. Lens may only have one point in this current season, but no side in Ligue 1 have accumulated more points than the visitors in 2023. It would be a concern that they were beaten on the road in their previous match, but they haven't lost back-to-back games on their travels since December 2021. PSG vs Lens Head to Head PSG boast a solid record in this fixture, as they have lost just two of their last 15 league matches against Lens. Over that period, they have recorded seven wins, with six ending in draws. However, each of their two losses have come while Franck Haise has been in the Lens dugout. PSG vs Lens Prediction Both French sides will be looking for an improved performance this weekend after a sticky start to the new campaign. We expect the hosts to claim maximum points, but we would be incredibly surprised if it is a high-scoring affair. Therefore, under 2.5 goals looks to be a solid bet. Make sure to bet on PSG vs Lens with 22Bet!

Ligue 1 Preview It has been an excellent start to the new season for Brest, as they sit second in the standings after the opening two rounds of matches. They will face their most challenging game of the campaign to date this weekend when they travel to Marseille. It has been a strong start to the new season for Brest, as they have landed back-to-back victories to start the new season. They were excellent in their first away match of the season last weekend, recording a 2-1 win on the road against Le Harve. Their goals in that success were netted by Romain Del Castillo and Lillian Brassier. However, they will face a huge challenge if they are to maintain that winning sequence this weekend, as they visit Marseille. Brest should come into the match in good confidence, as they have won each of their first two matches of the season in Ligue 1 for the first time. However, this weekend, they will be looking to record a third win in a Ligue 1 campaign at the earliest stage in their history. Bet here Marseille will have a point to prove in front of their home fans this weekend, as they are yet to put on a solid performance in their two matches this term. They were made to pay for their under-par performance last weekend, as they played out a 2-2 draw against Metz away from home. Their record over their last seven matches in the competition would be a slight concern, as they have picked up just two wins. Defensively, there are big questions that they will need to answer, as they have allowed at least one in each of their previous 12 in all competitions. Meanwhile, they haven't kept a clean sheet in their last eleven matches at Stade Velodrome. Brest have landed victories in each of their last two matches against Brest in Ligue 1. That is a stark contrast to the trend before the start of last season, as Marseille had gone 12 without defeat against their rivals, winning on ten occasions. Brest have made an incredibly reliable start to the new season, but they face an increased challenge this weekend. Marseille's defensive record means that both teams to score could be an eye-catching angle, and a draw could be a likely full-time result. Make sure to bet on Marseille vs Brest with 22Bet!

Bet here Marseille will have a point to prove in front of their home fans this weekend, as they are yet to put on a solid performance in their two matches this term. They were made to pay for their under-par performance last weekend, as they played out a 2-2 draw against Metz away from home. Their record over their last seven matches in the competition would be a slight concern, as they have picked up just two wins. Defensively, there are big questions that they will need to answer, as they have allowed at least one in each of their previous 12 in all competitions. Meanwhile, they haven't kept a clean sheet in their last eleven matches at Stade Velodrome. Marseille vs Brest Head to Head Brest have landed victories in each of their last two matches against Brest in Ligue 1. That is a stark contrast to the trend before the start of last season, as Marseille had gone 12 without defeat against their rivals, winning on ten occasions. Marseille vs Brest Prediction Brest have made an incredibly reliable start to the new season, but they face an increased challenge this weekend. Marseille's defensive record means that both teams to score could be an eye-catching angle, and a draw could be a likely full-time result. Make sure to bet on Marseille vs Brest with 22Bet!
The top division of German football returns to our screens this weekend with six games played on Saturday from 14:30. A hectic schedule provides some interesting games and a chance for followers to make predictions between the opener involving Koln v Wolfsburg and the game involving Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen which serves as the main event from 17:30 GMT. There's plenty to keep fans entertained, and our team of writers covers the best Germany offers. We focus on the main event from Saturday as Monchengladbach welcomes Leverkusen for what will be a fascinating contest. Both teams enter the season quietly confident they are good enough to challenge for the league flag. Borussia and Bayer's fans demand nothing less than a Champions League finish. Nothing more than three points and a win is on the line, but this game gives armchair followers a chance to see which team is shaping better in the early games. Do you expect a home win or the visitors to steal the points? The pair have given us some exciting games recently, and we're hoping for another thriller from two huge names in German football. The most recent renewal of this fixture was in May 2023 and produced four goals. It ended all square, with both teams taking a point each following a dramatic 2-2 finish. That result followed the recent trends, and the fixture has given nine goals in the last two renewals. Will we see another goal-fest before a huge audience on Saturday? Armchair supporters hope for goals, drama, and entertainment. Borussia Monchengladbach entered the season aiming for a top-four finish and a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League. That remains the goal, but they were forced to share the points on the season's opening day following a surprise draw. Borussia went to FC Augsburg on matchday one, and despite being the away team and scoring four goals to get the party started, they left with just one point. Some imaginative and exciting attacking was spoiled by unsure and nervy defending. A draw was a fair result as neither side deserved to lose the game after such a strong showing in attack. Borussia fans may have expected their team to bag a win from game one, and they looked capable against a side most pundits expect to struggle. But at the full-time whistle, the players, coaches, and fans breathed a sigh of relief. With the game heading for a home win, Monchengladbach scored an equaliser in 97 minutes to ensure a share. It was too close for comfort for many fans who hope their team learns the lesson and tightens its defence as soon as possible. Bayer Leverkusen has a squad capable of challenging for silverware this season and the major places in the Bundesliga following a flurry of activity in the summer. They were handed a challenging opening game when drawing RB Leipzig at home, and many pundits fancied the Bulls to come through unscathed, clutching a perfect start and three points. Things rarely go to plan in this division, and Leverkusen grabbed the win to upset their free-spending opponents. Leverkusen silenced a few critics on week one, and that would've done wonders for team morale. It was another goal-fest, with five scored in an end-to-end contest that kept fans glued to their seats. The final score ended 3-2 for Bayer, with the goals coming from Frimpong, Tah, and Wirtz. Although the final score was close and suggested a tight game, the victors were 3-1 up at one stage and looked out of sight before Openda fired a late goal to ensure a nervy finish. The margin of win should've been greater, but Bayer bagged the points to get them off to a flyer. Here we have a meeting of two teams who looked good going forward but were poor in defense. We could see plenty more goals here if they haven't learned their lesson from the opening day. That'll be music to the ears of armchair fans hoping to enjoy another classic from Germany, but we're certain both managers would prefer a boring 1-0 win rather than a thrilling 5-5 draw. Last we...

Bet here Huge derby action takes place on the second weekend of matches in the Bundesliga this weekend, as Eintracht Frankfurt look to build on their opening day win. Mainz will be looking to bounce back after suffering defeat on the road. Bayern Munich vs Augsburg Prediction: Bundesliga Match Match on 27.08.2023 Bundesliga Preview It was an impressive opening to the new season for Eintracht Frankfurt, as they looked solid at both ends of the field to land a win in their first match of the campaign. However, their big challenge will now be to build on the steps taken on matchday one at their home of their local rivals. Not for the first time, Randal Kolo Muani was the match-winner for Frankfurt in their opening match of the season, as the Frenchman scored the only goal of the game with five minutes to go before the break. Frankfurt defended excellently in the second period, as they allowed newly-promoted Darmstadt just two shots on target. But, they will be aware that they will need to raise their performance level further if they are to claim maximum points at Mainz on Sunday. Bet here Mainz suffered a humbling loss in their first match of the new season, as they went down to a 4-1 defeat against Union Berlin. The German side were in the game for long period, and missed crucial penalties at key stages to really threaten last season's dark horses. Few could have argued against Mainz deserving a point against Union, especially as they played on the front-foot for an extended period after pulling a goal back through Anthony Caci. However, defensive mistakes were evident throughout their performance, and they will need to be addressed before the visit of their local rivals this weekend. Mainz vs Eintracht Frankfurt Head to Head Frankfurt have a fine recent league record in this fixture, as they have gone six without defeat against Mainz. Over that period, they have recorded three wins, which includes a 3-0 win in the most recent encounter in May 2023. Mainz have failed to win in their previous three home matches against Frankfurt. Mainz vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction Frankfurt made a strong start to the new season last weekend, but the fact that they have a European qualifier in between this fixture would be a concern. Therefore, a chance is taken on Mainz to land maximum points in front of their home fans to bounce back after defeat against Union. Make sure to bet on Mainz vs Eintracht Frankfurt with 22Bet!

Bundesliga Preview Bayern Munich made a strong start to the new Bundesliga season on the opening weekend, and they will look to continue that momentum. Augsburg are the first visitors to the Allianz Arena in 2023-24 on Sunday. There were doubts surrounding Bayern Munich ahead of the opening weekend, as the reigning champions were easily beaten in the Super Cup by RB Leipzig. However, any doubts questioning whether Bayern were the force of old this term were answered on matchday one, as they easily strolled to maximum points on the road against Werder Bremen. Harry Kane was handed a first start following his move from Tottenham Hotspur, and the England captain was excellent throughout. He set up the opening for Leroy Sane, before opening his account for the German giants with 15 minutes remaining. The scoring was completed in the final five minutes following another effort from Sane and a goal for Mathys Tel. Bayern will be looking to put on a show for their home fans this weekend. Bet here Augsburg were involved in one of the most dramatic opening day matches in Bundesliga history last weekend, as they shared eight goals with Borussia Monchengladbach. Augsburg drew level at 3-3 on the stroke of half time through Sven Michel, before Ruben Vargan put them into the lead with just 14 minutes remaining. However, they wasn't able to hang on to secure a dramatic win, as Gladbach were awarded a dramatic penalty in the seventh minute of injury time. The spot kick was subsequently converted by Tomas Cvancara. Defensively, Augsburg made no shortage of mistakes in that draw, but there were clearly signs of attacking quality that was missing throughout the 2022-23 season. Bayern Munich have dominated the recent clashes between the sides, as they have won 22 of the previous 29. Augsburg have picked up just five wins, with two clashes ending in draws. Interestingly, each of the last five have been won by the team with home field advantage, with Bayern picking up three wins and Augsburg landing two victories. Bayern will be expected to put on a show in front of their home fans for the first time this season on Sunday. We fully expect the Bavarian giants to claim maximum points, and we could see Kane getting at least one goal on his first start at his new home.

The Spanish La Liga has football fans covered this weekend with some mouth-watering fixtures and TV-friendly kick-off times. There's plenty for supporters of La Liga to get stuck into on Sunday, with three games on the schedule. The action begins at 16:30 when Villarreal welcomes last season's champions Barcelona for an eagerly-anticipated clash. The locals hope to make their home advantage count, while the visitors are the pundits' pick to leave with all three points. Can Barca deliver the goods? The away team sent shockwaves throughout European football last term when bouncing back from possible catastrophe to pass Real Madrid and be crowned champions of Spain. There was no doubt Barca would get back to where they wanted to be and ensure a competitive La Liga, but few expected them to return too quickly and in such a fashion. They sent out a statement of intent that with or without Lionel Messi, second-best is never good enough. They've set the bar for others to challenge. Villarreal and Barcelona met twice last season, with Barca claiming six points on their way to the championship. They won the first game 3-0 at Camp Nou before driving home their advantage with a hard-fought 1-0 on the road, the winning goal scored by Pedri in 18 minutes. Will Sunday bring repeat for Barca or revenge for Villarreal? We can't wait to find out live on television. Villarreal enjoy the home advantage against last season's all-conquering champions. But we now have a clean slate, and the locals will hope they can catch their star-studded opponents out early. If they can put Barca on the back foot in the opening few minutes and gain the backing of the support, who knows what might happen. The home side understands they are the underdogs here but doesn't seem overly concerned by the opinion of the traders and pundits. They often play better when written off by experts. Placed tenth after two games, Villarreal lost their opening match of the season but bounced back to claim victory on matchday two. It's still early in the season as new players find their feet and the squad continues to grow its fitness, but this is an interesting test for Villarreal. How they perform against the champions at home will give an indication of how the season will play out. A 2-1 home loss to Real Betis wasn't good enough, but they were better when beating Mallorca 1-0 on the road. The champions travel to Villarreal unbeaten in their opening two games as they put down a marker for their defense. The leading pundits can't see past two titles on the bounce for Barca, and if their first two performances are anything to go by, they'll take some shifting. The likes of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are already up against it. But the visitors don't arrive with the perfect record many expected. The team from Camp Nou raised the curtain on their defense with an uninspiring draw against Getafe on the road. It was a game most expected them to win comfortably, hitting the ground running by bagging three points, putting on a show, and scoring a few goals. We got a frustrating goalless finish which neither team worked hard enough to win. Lessons were learned, and after passing up too many opportunities on matchday one, they beat Cadiz at home. Goals from Pedri and Torres stole the show, although the first of those hit the net on 82 minutes. Fans demand more of the same on Sunday. On paper, Barcelona should win this game. They are the champions, have the better-quality squad, and already have more points on the board. They weren't perfect in the opening week, but it's plain to see this team will improve. If they continue progressing in the manner expected against Villarreal, they should have enough skill to win the game. The home team has learned to cope with being the underdogs, even on their patch, and that's where the crowd plays a part. The support must back the players, and the attackers must take their chances. A big ask against a solid Barca defense and an opponent that br...

The Spanish La Liga has a three-game Sunday schedule, starting with Barcelona's trip to Villarreal as the champions look to continue their unbeaten start to the campaign. You'll find an in-depth preview and predictions elsewhere on this site. The second match pairs Granada and Mallorca before attentions turn to a top-of-the-bill tussle involving Athletic Bilbao and Real Betis. Keep reading as our team of football writers preview the game from Bilbao, checking the form and stats before making a prediction. Bilbao and Betis met twice last season in two tight games that produced just one goal in over 180 minutes of play. Betis won 1-0 in Bilbao after a strike from William Jose in six minutes. The beaten team saw their chances of snatching a late draw vanish when Dani Vivian was red-carded near the end. Armchair fans hope to see more goals and as much drama in this renewal. Will they get their wish? A big season lies ahead for Athletic Bilbao and its fans as they target a European finish, hoping to make it to the Conference League or better. The hard work starts now, but it has been a rocky opening two weeks for the home team, bagging three of the first six points available. They lost their opening game, sparking grumbles from a long-suffering support that feared the worst but got off the mark at the second time of asking. Bilbao is now at a crossroads, even at this early stage. Win, and they'll be in the mix for the major places, lose and they'll drop down the list. Bilbao was in winning form in their last game when they beat Osasuna 2-0 on the road. They weren't the pre-game favorites to win, and few expected them to claim the points so comfortably. But they got the job done in style. In a bad-tempered game where both teams ended with 10 men, Williams scored the opener inside 11 minutes before Guruzeta added a second less than 10 minutes later. It was a convincing performance and a timely confidence boost for a capable team. Real Betis provides the opposition on Sunday evening and will arrive unbeaten in their opening two games. They have four points on the board from a possible six, scoring two goals and conceding one. Another side that's yet to find its feet, but there's no denying Betis as a squad that's good enough to challenge for the major places. Three points gained and back-to-back wins would ensure the club's critics take them seriously. Betis are ready to show what they can do. The visitors won on matchday one, collecting the points thanks to a 2-1 away win over Villarreal. In a close contest, Perez put his men ahead after 20 minutes, but Villarreal fired back with an equalizer from Cuenca after an hour. With the game heading for a draw and another share for Betis, they scored a winner deep into stoppage time when Da Silva netted to win the points. It was late drama, but the fans didn't mind. Betis is struggling for goals like many teams early in the season, but they're improving, and it won't be long until they click into place and start scoring for fun. Bilbao is the home team, but neither side captures the imagination or inspires us to back them for a win. Both are good enough to target the three points and will be disappointed if they leave with nothing, but the recent form suggests a goal-fest is unlikely. Instead, it'll be a slog from the first whistle, with the winner being the team that holds its concentration best and keeps individual errors to a minimum. At least one team has failed to find the net in each of the last three renewals of this fixture, and that trend goes back further. No in the both teams to score market would've been a winner in seven of the previous ten. A nervy 90 minutes is on the schedule, and armchair fans will be left crying out for some creativity. The pre-match betting odds available at 22bet show a competitive contest is expected by the traders, who share our fears after studying the stats. Although it's early days in the league, anything can happen as the players get up to speed a...

Bet here Bet here Union Saint-Gilloise will host Lugano at the Stade Joseph Marien on Thursday at 18:30 for the first leg of the Europa League play-off. Slovan Bratislava vs Aris Limassol Prediction: Europa League on 24.08.2023 Key Highlights The winning start that Union Saint-Gilloise had posted in the Belgian Pro League was brought to a crushing end when they lost 4-0 at Mechelen last Saturday. Prior to the loss, Union Saint-Gilloise had won three out of the opening three rounds of fixtures in the Belgian Pro League. They will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they host Lugano on Thursday. Lugano were in Swiss Cup action last weekend, as they warmed up for the trip to Union Saint-Gilloise with a commanding 0-7 win away to Gunzwil last Saturday. This win follows another dominant 6-1 win over Yverdon in the Swiss Super League. Lugano are second on the table Swiss Super League after four rounds of fixtures.

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview France were slow starters in the group stage, but they come into this round of 16 match in excellent recent form. They will come up against Morocco on Tuesday, as both nations will be vying for the final spot in the quarterfinals at the Women's World Cup. France were among the nations that stuttered in the opening round of matches, as they could only play out a 0-0 draw against Jamaica on matchday one.

But, they are yet to reach the semi-finals at the competition. However, their record at the competition remains extremely strong, as they have lost just one of their last eleven games at the competition. Over that period, they have averaged 2.5 goals per game.

Bet here France will be taking part in the knockout stage at the Women's World Cup for the fourth time. All of their appearances at this stage have come in the editions since 2011. But, they are yet to reach the semi-finals at the competition. However, their record at the competition remains extremely strong, as they have lost just one of their last eleven games at the competition. Over that period, they have averaged 2.5 goals per game. Morocco were one of the surprise packages in the group stage, as they managed to gain qualification from Group H. They finished two points ahead of Germany, and five clear of South Korea. The African nation were hammered 6-0 by Germany in their opening match, but they responded excellently by landing 1-0 wins against South Korea and Colombia. They have already made history at the tournament this year, as this will be their first appearance in the knockout round. However, they have a poor recent record against nations from Europe, as they have gone five without a win. Meanwhile, they have won just two of their last eight against nations from the continent. France vs Morocco Head to Head This will be the first meeting between France and Morocco at the World Cup. It is only the second time that an African nation making their debut at the competition have reached the round of 16. France vs Morocco Prediction All the pressure will be on France on Tuesday, as Morocco have already exceeded expectations to reach the round of 16. France were excellent in the final third in their previous match, and we expect them to make another clear statement against their African rivals on Tuesday by landing a 3-0 win.

Bet here The round of 16 action at the Women's World Cup continues Down Under on Monday, as England resume their bid for a historic first honour. The Lionesses topped their group, and they will come up against Nigeria at Suncorp Stadium for a place in the last eight. Australia vs Denmark Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 07.08.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview England finally delivered a performance that was fitting of a nation in the hunt for World Cup glory on matchday three in Group D. The Lionesses were excellent from start to finish against China, as they scored six excellent goals to qualify as group winners. Lauren James maintained her excellent form at the competition, as she scored twice and was involved in all other goals. England won three from three in Group D, but they were sluggish in their wins over Haiti and Denmark, meaning that questions were hanging over them going into their final group stage match. But, those doubts were routinely answered, and the win now means England are the outright favourites in the betting. Bet here Nigeria were on course for qualification from Group B going into the final round of matches, as they only needed to match the result from the other match in the group. However, a victory would have assured their passage through to the round of 16 as group winners. Unfortunately, they were able to land a second straight win, as they played out a nervy 0-0 draw against Ireland in Brisbane. Still, Nigeria's progression through to the next round was a memorable moment, as it means that they have now made the round of 16 in each of the previous two editions of the World Cup. A victory over England would also see them reach the quarterfinal for just the second time in their history, having previously achieved that feat in 1999. England vs Nigeria Head to Head This will only be the second time that England and Nigeria have clashed at the Women's World Cup. The previous clash came in 1995, as England registered a dramatic 3-2 win in Sweden. However, Nigeria are winless in their last nine matches at the World Cup against European opposition. England vs Nigeria Prediction England was excellent in their final group stage match, and they will come into the round of 16 with huge confidence behind them. For that reason, we struggle to see anything other than a comfortable win for the Lionesses. Make sure to bet on England vs Nigeria with 22Bet!

Australia's dream of a World Cup success in front of their home fans is still on, as they managed to top Group B to earn their spot in the round of 16. However, they face a huge challenge in the first knockout round, as they come up against Denmark at Stadium Australia. The dream of a first World Cup success continues for the host nation, as Australia booked their spot in the round of 16 after topping a dramatic Group B campaign. The host nation appeared to be on the brink of elimination going into the final round of matches, but they produced a sensational display on matchday three, as they scored a stunning 4-0 win over Canada to eliminate the reigning Olympic champions. Their victory also secured their spot at the top of the group standings, which appeared incredibly unlikely going into the final round of matches. Australia finished a point ahead of Nigeria, but they have now scored an impressive seven goals at the competition this summer. Confidence will certainly rise as the host nation will welcome back Sam Kerr for the knockout action at the World Cup. Bet here Denmark avoided a nervy end to their Group D campaign, largely down to the fact that China were 3-0 down against England by the half-time break. However, they still needed to do their job against Haiti to mathematically secure their spot in the next round. They got off to an excellent start, as Pernille Harder scored from the spot, before the lead was doubled in the tenth minute of injury time. The success means that Denmark have made the knockout round at the World Cup for the first time since 1995. They have also won as many games at the tournament this year as they have in their previous three appearances. Australia and Denmark will clash at the World Cup for just the second time in history. The previous meeting between the sides came in the group stage of the 1995 tournament, with the Danes landing a huge 5-0 win. The pressure will rise on Australia as the knockout round gets underway, but we were incredibly impressed with their display against China. The return of Kerr certainly enhances their chances, and they should have enough quality to overcome Denmark on Monday. Make sure to bet on Australia vs Denmark with 22Bet!

Community Shield Preview The domestic action in England kicks off this weekend with the traditional curtain raiser taking place at Wembley Stadium. Pep Guardiola's treble winners will look to kickstart their domestic season, as they take on last season's Premier League runners-up Arsenal. The 101st Community Shield will signal the start of the new domestic season in England. Manchester City will be involved in the match for the third straight season, but they will be bidding to avenge defeats in each of the previous two editions. City's last win in the Community Shield came back in 2019, as they recorded a penalty shootout success over Liverpool. City will be fighting on all fronts once again this season, as they look to defend the three trophies that they won in 2023-24. However, there have been some significant departures throughout the summer, with both Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez leaving the club. The champions remain in the market, but they have only been able to bring in Mateo Kovacic to this point. They will certainly need to enhance their squad before the deadline. Bet here Arsenal will be competing in the Community Shield for the first time since 2020 where they beat Liverpool on penalties. In fact, the Gunners have won each of their previous four appearances that they have made in the competition, which includes a 3-0 win over City in 2014. The Gunners will be looking to go one better than they managed in the Premier League last term, and Mikel Arteta has spent big this summer in order to enhance their chances. The record-breaking signing of Declan Rice for over £100 million is their standout addition, while Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber both improve the squad. City boasts an excellent record over Arsenal, as they have won each of the previous eight matches. That includes a dominant 4-1 win in the previous clash between the sides in April. Arsenal's last win over City was a 2-0 success in July 2020. Man City don't appear ready for the new season, as they have been uncharacteristically slow in adding to their squad. This could be a big opportunity for the Gunners to put down a marker for the new season, and we could see them securing a 2-0 win at Wembley.

What are some of the honours and trophies won by these one-club players with their respective clubs? Did any of these players have successful international careers as well? In the world of modern football, loyalty to a single club has become a rarity, with players frequently seeking new challenges and lucrative contracts at different clubs. However, there are a select few who have bucked this trend, remaining steadfast in their commitment to one club throughout their illustrious careers, and established their names as the most loyal football players. These legendary one-club players have etched their names in the annals of football history, becoming symbols of devotion and success for their respective clubs. Here, we pay tribute to the ten best footballers of all time who epitomise unwavering loyalty, leaving an indelible mark while donning the colours of one club. We also advise you to check out the players who may become no less legendary by clicking here. Position: Goalkeeper In the realm of goalkeepers, few can rival the incredible feat achieved by Rogério Ceni. Born on January 22, 1973, in Pato Branco, Brazil, Ceni dedicated his entire professional career to São Paulo Futebol Clube. Joining the club's youth academy in 1990, he progressed through the ranks to make his senior debut in 1993. Ceni's remarkable career spanned an astonishing 23 years at São Paulo, making 1152 appearances for the club. Notably, his goal-scoring prowess sets him apart from his peers, as he notched over 100 goals - an unprecedented achievement for a goalkeeper. Renowned for his exceptional free-kick and penalty-taking abilities, Ceni became the highest-scoring goalkeeper in football history. His accomplishments with São Paulo include numerous Campeonato Brasileiro Série A titles, Copa Libertadores triumphs, and FIFA Club World Cup victories. The esteemed goalkeeper retired in 2015, leaving a lasting legacy as one of São Paulo's most loyal football players. Position: Midfielder/Winger Ryan Giggs, a footballing prodigy from Cardiff, Wales, was born on November 29, 1973. His incredible career spanned an impressive 24 years at Manchester United, making him the epitome of loyalty and consistency. Joining the club's youth system at the tender age of 14, Giggsy quickly rose through the ranks, making his first-team debut in 1991. Giggs's mesmerizing wing play, incredible dribbling skills, and uncanny ability to score crucial goals endeared him to the Old Trafford faithful. During his illustrious career, he accumulated an astounding 963 appearances for Manchester United, making him the club's all-time leading appearance-maker. His list of honors is nothing short of remarkable. Giggs won an incredible thirteen Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups, and two UEFA Champions League trophies during his time with the Red Devils. His unwavering loyalty to the club earned him immense respect, cementing his status as one of Manchester United's greatest-ever players. Position: Defender Paolo Maldini, a defensive stalwart and symbol of elegance on the pitch, was born on June 26, 1968, in Milan, Italy. Son of another Milan legend, Cesare Maldini, Paolo inherited his father's footballing genes and went on to carve his own legendary path at AC Milan. Maldini spent his entire 25-year professional career at AC Milan, making his debut in 1985. His defensive prowess, exceptional reading of the game, and impeccable tackling made him virtually unbeatable on the field. Despite the passage of time, Maldini's performances showed no signs of decline, and he entered his 25th season as a 40-year-old. During his illustrious tenure at AC Milan, Maldini secured 902 appearances, becoming the club's all-time leading appearance-maker. He won a staggering 26 trophies with the Rossoneri, including seven Serie A titles and an impressive five UEFA Champions League titles.

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Colombia will be looking to secure their spot in the round of 16 at the Women's World Cup as Group H winners on Thursday when they take on Morocco. However, the African nation will also be chasing a result, as they look to finish in the second qualifying spot. A huge final day of action in Group H is set for Thursday, as Colombia look to cause a huge shock and secure their passage through to the round of 16 as Group H winners. The nation caught the imagination at the World Cup on matchday two, as they recorded a stunning 2-1 victory over Germany in Sydney. That success now means that they will top the standings and secure an easier passage through to the final with at least a draw against Morocco. The victory over Germany saw Colombia make history, as they are now only the second team from the South American region to boast a 100% record in a single edition of the World Cup after two rounds of matches. They have also been excellent in front of goal over their opening two matches, as they have scored four goals, which is as many as they managed in their appearances at the 2011 and 2015 editions combined. Bet here Morocco are also in the hunt for vital points on matchday three, as they will be looking to book a spot in the round of 16. They will need a victory to stand the best chance, while a draw may also be enough if Germany are beaten by South Korea in their final match in Group H. However, only one previous African nation has registered a win in their final match in the group stage at the World Cup. Prior to that win, each of the last African nations had conceded 14 goals. But, Morocco should be confident coming into this match after landing their first ever win at the competition in their previous match. This will be the first time that Colombia and Morocco have locked horns at the Women's World Cup. It will also be the first time that Morocco has faced a South American rival, and Colombia has come up a nation from the African region. Morocco was excellent on matchday two, as they landed victory over South Korea. However, Colombia has been one of the teams to watch at the World Cup this summer, and it looks incredibly challenging to bet against the South American nation registering a third straight win to secure their spot as group winners.

But, Germany has a dominant record on matchday three at the World Cup, as they have never lost their final group stage match in any previous edition of the World Cup. Over that period, they have recorded seven wins, and have been held to just one draw. Germany has also won each of their last, which is a worrying sign for South Korea. Bet here The Asian nation isn't yet mathematically eliminated from the competition, but they would need to record a wide-scoring margin of victory to finish in the first two places. They have now lost each of their last six matches at the Women's World Cup, and they have failed to score in five of those matches. South Korea is also yet to keep a clean sheet at the Women's World Cup. Over their 12 matches at the competition, they have conceded an average of 2.5 goals per match. That could be a worrying trend to consider against Germany, as the European nation has scored 128 goals in 46 matches, averaging 2.8 goals per match. This will be a first clash between the countries at the World Cup. However, South Korea has won just once in their previous six matches against nations from Europe at the World Cup. Meanwhile, Germany has won eight of their nine matches against Asian nations at the competition. Germany will need to bounce back from a really disappointing performance in their previous match. However, all the trends are in their favour ahead of this fixture against South Korea, and we find it hard to bet against them covering a -2 handicap on Thursday.

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview The big game on the final day of matches in Group G will take place in Wellington, as South Africa and Italy will both have their sights set on a qualifying spot. There will be a number of potential results on the final matchday in Group G, with Italy currently holding the advantage in the race for second spot. Italy sits two points ahead of South Africa, which means a draw could be enough to secure their progression. However, a draw will only be enough to book their round of 16 spot if Argentina fail to beat Sweden. Italy were extremely disappointing in their most recent match, as they fell to a huge 5-0 loss against Sweden. That defeat against the Swedes means that Italy will be looking to avoid losing back-to-back matches at the same edition of the Women's World Cup for the first time in their history. However, they will need to score at least twice to avoid setting a new record low total for fewest goals in the group stage. Bet here South Africa had a golden opportunity in their second round of matches, as they led 2-0 against Argentina with just 24 minutes remaining. However, they allowed their South American rivals back into the contest, and those dropped points could yet prove crucial in their bid to reach the round of 16 this summer. But, the draw against Argentina saw South Africa pick up their first ever point at the Women's World Cup. Prior to that draw, they had lost each of their previous four matches at the competition. Their two goals also saw them double their tally of goals at the World Cup throughout their history. This will be the first clash between Italy and South Africa at the Women's World Cup. In fact, Italy has only come up against an African nation on one previous occasion at the tournament, as they registered a 1-0 win over Nigeria in 1991. This will be a tense match between these two sides with a place in the round of 16 up for grabs. Italy were extremely disappointing in their previous match, while South Africa have been very competitive across their opening two matches at the competition. For that reason, we will be siding with South Africa registering a first ever win at the competition. Make sure to bet on South Africa vs Italy with 22Bet!

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Sweden have already secured their passage through to the round of 16 at the Women's World Cup, which means that the pressure will be on Argentina on matchday three. The South American nation will be looking for a win, which could be enough to book their spot in the knockout round. Sweden have been strong at the Women's World Cup already this year, and they could be among the nations that have gone under the radar. They have booked their spot in the round of 16 with a game to spare, and their place at the top of the standings looks secure as they boast a healthy goal difference. Sweden was excellent against Italy on matchday two, as they landed a huge 5-0 win in Wellington. Sweden historically has an excellent record on matchday three at the World Cup, as they have won six of their previous nine. However, it may be a slight concern that they haven't won on matchday three in each of the previous two editions. Bet here The greater pressure on matchday three will be on Argentina, as they must claim victory to stand any chance of progression. The South American nation currently sits at the bottom of the standings after failing to win in their opening two matches. They were denied maximum points on matchday two after playing out a 2-2 draw against South Africa in Dunedin. Argentina are now winless in their last eleven matches at the Women's World Cup, which is a record winless streak for nations at the competition. Over that period, they have suffered eight defeats. However, the draw that they picked up against South Africa on matchday two means that they are now looking to go two matches without defeat for the first time in their World Cup history. This will be the first meeting between Argentina and Sweden at the Women's World Cup. However, the Swedes have an excellent record against South American nations, as they have won four of their previous five. That includes victories in each of their last three.

Therefore, we are fully expecting them to secure their spot at the top of the group standings with a straightforward win over Argentina. Make sure to bet on Argentina vs Sweden with 22Bet!

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview France will be looking to wrap up top spot in Group F at the Women's World Cup on Wednesday. They will come up against Panama in their final group stage match, with their rivals having already been eliminated from the competition. It has been a testing group stage campaign for France, but they finally put together a high-quality performance in their second match in Group F. It was a must-win game against Brazil, as a defeat would have left them fighting for their place in the competition. However, they scored late in the match against the South American champions to register a 2-1 win, with Wendie Renard netting the crucial goal. France will be aware that a victory or a draw will see them progress through to the next round. If they are able to achieve that feat, then it will be the fourth straight time that they have achieved that feat. But, they have won just two of their previous five meetings against nations from the CONCACAF region at the World Cup. Bet here Panama's journey in the World Cup has already come to an end, as they sit bottom of the group standings, having failed to pick up a point from their opening two matches. In total, they have conceded five goals in matches against Brazil and Jamaica, and they are yet to find the back of the net. Panama will be hoping to avoid joining an unwanted list, as prior to this year's edition of the World Cup only Japan and Nigeria had fallen to three straight defeats without scoring. However, it looks challenging to beat against them claiming anything against France. This will be the first meeting between Panama and France at the Women's World Cup. It will also be the first time that Panama has come up against a nation from Europe at the competition. France finally put together a strong performance in their second match against Brazil, and that gives them a strong chance against Panama. We struggle to see anything other than a win for France, and the best value angle from a betting perspective will come in the handicap market. Make sure to bet on Panama vs France with 22Bet!

Bet here The Netherlands will play their final match in Group E on Tuesday, as they chase a victory over Vietnam that could see them finish top of the standings. Vietnam has already been eliminated from the competition, but they will be hoping to end their campaign with a solid performance. Portugal vs USA Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 01.08.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview The Netherlands could cause a huge shock in Group E, as a big victory on matchday three could see them top the standings above the United States.

The Netherlands have an excellent recent record at the Women's World Cup, as they have won seven of their last nine matches. Their only dropped results in the competition have both come against the United States, which includes their final defeat in 2019. But, the Netherlands are unbeaten on matchday three at the Women's World Cup, having won once and drawn once in their two showings.

However, they clearly lack the quality in the final third of the field to truly test the top teams at the Women's World Cup this year, which doesn't bode well for their chances against the Netherlands.

Upon a closer inspection of the types of casino games in the gambling industry, it's possible to divide the games into two categories. One of these classes is reserved for games of pure chance, where predicting the outcome is impossible. The other class is for skill-based games. Both these kinds of games can be enjoyed by players at any online casino. It all depends on the players' tastes and how they want to play the game. But if we want to strictly abide by the definition of gambling, skill games online shouldn't be considered. Yet here we are. That's why we want to invite you to join us as we explore how these skillful games impact gambling. In the gambling world, skill-based casino games are where you rely on your skill to win. There's no element of randomness in the outcome of the event. Depending on the situation and the individual players' skill, it's possible to win without having to rely on luck. If it's still not clear to you which games we're talking about, here's the list of the casino games that require mental skill to play and win: Both of these are skill-based card games. While some elements of chance are added into the games during development, you need actual skill to play them. Switching to skill-based games might be an option if you're tired of losing over and over in casino games just because of bad luck To get a deeper understanding of online skill games for money, we must stack them up against games of pure chance. By looking at the two types of games side by side, we can get the complete picture of skill-based card games. Let's consider a couple of examples. Slots are what you'd call a game of pure chance. Because no matter how you spin the reels or keep holding down the spin button, you can never get the reels to land exactly how you land them. The RNG algorithm will decide the pattern in which they'll land on the reels. Dice games like craps are also similar in that regard. You can throw the dice as hard as you like or just as softly. But you can never close your eyes and be able to guess the number that lands correctly. Now, if we look at casino games of skill, there are ways to predict the outcome. The prediction might land differently as you want, but you can get close. For example, in a poker tournament, if the dealer reveals two Aces on the river and you have another ace, then there's a chance that the opponent might have the final ace. You can consider this factor as you try to win with your current hand. One of the biggest issues with skill-based games for money is that it's easier to cheat in these games compared to games of chance. This is true for skill-based mobile games that you can play online. That's why operators ensure that skill-based games are kept free from fraud attempts. To that end, fraud detection techniques are used to keep the gaming experience unadulterated. Bonus and player collusion give players an unfair edge over other competitive players when playing online. This can be detected using spoof-resistant location technology. If someone is found using an emulator or anything of the sort to gain an unfair advantage, they can be identified instantly, and the penalty can be handed to them. If you're curious about the state of the best skill-based games for the future, we think it will never go away. There's no doubt that the latter is the more popular between casino skill games and games of chance-like slots because there's an element of thrill and uncertainty in chance games that you can't ever get from games that require a skill. But despite all that, there's a special place in the hearts of gamblers for skill-based games. Beating someone and winning the games for money with nothing but your skill gives you a sense of satisfaction that games of pure chance can never deliver. That's why we're confident when we say that the future of skill-based games is bright. If you would like to try out skill-based games, start by learning the games for free on your PC.

Bet here Ireland's journey at the Women's World Cup has already come to an end after their recent defeat, but Nigeria could make history in their final Group B match, as a victory would secure their spot in the round of 16 for just the third time in their history. Canada vs Australia Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 31.07.2023 Women's World Cup Preview There will be big stakes on the line in Brisbane on matchday three in Group B, as Nigeria will need something out of their clash against Ireland to book their place in the round of 16. The African nation surprised everybody in their second match, as they produced one of their best ever World Cup displays to land a 3-2 win over Australia. Uschenna Kanu scored the equalising goal on the stroke of half time, before Osinachi Ohaele and Asisat Oshoala scored goals in the second period to help secure a 3-2 win. It was the first time in Nigeria's history that they have come from a goal behind to win a match, ending a streak that stood at 23 matches. Oshoala also made history, as she became the first Nigerian player to score in three editions of the World Cup. Bet here The dream is over for Ireland, as their run in the World Cup came to an end on matchday two following defeat against Canada. However, the nation will be able to hold their head high after two very impressive displays against highly-ranked opponents. Ireland were excellent for 45 minutes against Canada, with their first ever goal at the tournament being scored by the impressive Katie McCabe.

Women's World Cup Preview Ireland vs Nigeria Prediction Ireland's journey at the Women's World Cup has already come to an end after their recent defeat, but Nigeria could make history in their final Group B match, as a victory would secure their spot in the round of 16 for just the third time in their history. There will be big stakes on the line in Brisbane on matchday three in Group B, as Nigeria will need something out of their clash against Ireland to book their place in the round of 16.

Bet here Japan and Spain have already secured their passage through to the knockout stage at the World Cup, with both already accumulating six points. However, an important clash between the sides in Wellington on Monday will determine the nation that tops Group C. Costa Rica vs Zambia Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 31.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview There is little doubt that Spain and Japan have been the standout teams in Group C, and both have secured their spots in the round of 16 with a game to spare. However, topping the group could have a huge impact as the tournament progresses, as it would avoid a potential showdown with Australia in the round of 16, and a potential match against the United States in the quarterfinals. Spain currently holds the advantage coming into the final round of matches in Group C, as the European nation sits top of the standings courtesy of their superior goal difference. Bet here Spain is yet to concede a goal in two matches at the World Cup, and they have scored an impressive eight. Five of those were scored in a demolition win over Zambia on Wednesday, with both Jennifer Hermoso and Alba Redondo netting braces. Japan will be aware that only a victory will secure their place at the top of the standings, and they are likely to come into this showdown against Spain unfazed. The Asian nation has been one of the eye-catching nations across their opening two matches, after easing to a 5-0 win over Zambia and a 2-0 success over Costa Rica. Their win over the latter was an extremely professional display, as they were able to take the game away from their rivals with two goals in two minutes. But, this will be the first big test faced by the 2011 world champions. Japan vs Spain Head to Head This will be a first World Cup clash between Spain and Japan, but the Asian nation is winless in their previous two against European nations. Spain also holds the advantage in previous clashes against Japan, as they have won three of the last four, with Japan yet to register a single win. Japan vs Spain Prediction This will be a huge showdown to decide the group winners, and cases can be made for both nations. We see both teams finding the net in this match, but the preference remains for Spain, who appear to only be scratching the surface when it comes to their peak performance level. Make sure to bet on Japan vs Spain with 22Bet!

Bet here Costa Rica and Zambia have both been eliminated from World Cup contention after suffering back-to-back defeats in New Zealand. However, both will have the opportunity to end their campaign on a high note when they lock horns at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton on Monday. Japan vs Spain Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 31.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview It has been a disappointing Women's World Cup campaign for both Costa Rica and Zambia, as both have already been mathematically eliminated at the group stage. Costa Rica suffered a second straight defeat at the competition on Wednesday, as they were easily beaten by Japan in Dunedin. For the second straight match, the Central American side failed to find the back of the net. The defeat means that they have now exited the competition at the group stage for the second straight time. They previously finished third in their group at the 2015 World Cup after claiming two draws. However, they were unable to emulate that record this year, and their wait for a first ever win at the competition has continued. Bet here Zambia have found matches in the World Cup far too hot to contend with, as they sit bottom of the Group C standings after two rounds of matches. There was quiet confidence that the African nation could out-perform their odds at the tournament this year after a shock win over Germany in their warm-up matches, but that level of performance hasn't been seen in their opening two matches. Zambia were easily beaten by a five-goal margin in their opening match against Japan, and they didn't fare much better in their second match against Spain; once again conceding five goals. Zambia tired in the closing stages, and allowed Spain to score three in the final 20 minutes. Costa Rica vs Zambia Head to Head This will be a first meeting between the sides. Furthermore, it will be the first time that Costa Rica has come up against African opposition at the World Cup. But, they have lost each of their last three against sides from the continent this year. Costa Rica vs Zambia Prediction The pressure will be off both of these nations as they take to the field for the final time at the World Cup this year. Neither have yet found the back of the net, but we would side with Costa Rica on Monday, as there was slightly more to like about their performance against Japan on Wednesday morning.

Bet here Bet here As we approach the end of July, fixtures from Europe's top-five league remain a few weeks away, but plenty is happening across Europe. The early rounds of the UEFA Champions League are already underway, with qualifiers scheduled for midweek, including five games on Wednesday evening. The best will be shown live on television, and you can predict the outcome at 22bet. The game that caught our eye on Wednesday was Aris Limassol v BATE Borisov. Not the kind of blockbuster tie we've become used to in this competition over the years, but this promises to be a thriller. Limassol and Borisov have Champions League group-stage experience and know what qualifying could do for their clubs. Making the groups would provide a huge cash injection, helping the manager attract new players of a higher caliber while giving the best of his squad a chance to impress on the biggest stage in Europe. Raków Czestochowa vs FK Qarabag Prediction: Champions League Match on 26.07.2023 Which team do you expect to win on Wednesday night? It's the qualifying second round first leg games, meaning there's all to play for, but the teams know how a first-leg lead might help them through. Wil Aris use their home advantage to progress, or perhaps BATE are out to cause an upset and exit with that all-important victory. Read our expert preview and make your predictions at 22bet. Plenty of work to be done These teams have never met in competitive action, meaning the tie doubles as a chance to make history. Getting off to a winning start in the head-to-head stats would be a feather in the cap of one team and could boost their chances of going to the next round. There's still plenty of work between now and making it into the draw for the Champions League proper. But Aris knows a win on Wednesday, and maybe a few goals scored would put them in a commanding position. There's an air of confidence in the home dressing room. Aris won the Cypriot First Division last year and fully deserved their crown. They finished the campaign but managed only third in the regular season. Stats of 15 wins, eight draws, and three defeats left Limassol with 53 points on the board, six points fewer than regular season winners APOEL. But that isn't enough to create a champion, with the Cypriot League breaking into two groups after 26 games; the championship and relegation round. Aris came good when it mattered most. The Light Brigade isn't the biggest name in the competition, and few football pundits would be surprised if they were to duck out at this early stage. But they are a team headed in the right direction, and after a summer of strengthening their squad, they look ready for another campaign. The late success of last season's title win helped inspire confidence, and the home fans will be in full voice, aiming to help drive their favorites to victory. The locals won't be a soft touch on their patch, that's for sure. BATE won last time If you're a regular follower of the UEFA Champions League, especially during the summer months, BATE Borisov will be a familiar face. The Belarussian outfit has performed in this tournament many times before slipping into the Europa League or Europa Conference League. A team that's not lacking in big-game experience, and it's that history that could prove the difference here. Wednesday evening isn't BATE's opening game of the Champions League qualifier. They were last seen in the qualifying first round, where they eliminated Partizani Tirana 3-1 on aggregate. The first leg ended 1-1 with BATE on the road, and fans knew that although it wasn't a win, a scoring draw on the road is often a good indicator that a side will improve when back on their patch. And that's exactly what Borisov did. They booked their slot in the second qualifying round and a game against Aris with a comfortable 2-0 win at home. A little too close for comfort in the first leg, but there was no denying the best team went through. BATE will be in no mood to sit back a...

But that isn't enough to create a champion, with the Cypriot League breaking into two groups after 26 games; the championship and relegation round. Aris came good when it mattered most. The Light Brigade isn't the biggest name in the competition, and few football pundits would be surprised if they were to duck out at this early stage. But they are a team headed in the right direction, and after a summer of strengthening their squad, they look ready for another campaign. The late success of last season's title win helped inspire confidence, and the home fans will be in full voice, aiming to help drive their favorites to victory. The locals won't be a soft touch on their patch, that's for sure. If you're a regular follower of the UEFA Champions League, especially during the summer months, BATE Borisov will be a familiar face. The Belarussian outfit has performed in this tournament many times before slipping into the Europa League or Europa Conference League. A team that's not lacking in big-game experience, and it's that history that could prove the difference here. Wednesday evening isn't BATE's opening game of the Champions League qualifier. They were last seen in the qualifying first round, where they eliminated Partizani Tirana 3-1 on aggregate. The first leg ended 1-1 with BATE on the road, and fans knew that although it wasn't a win, a scoring draw on the road is often a good indicator that a side will improve when back on their patch. And that's exactly what Borisov did. They booked their slot in the second qualifying round and a game against Aris with a comfortable 2-0 win at home. A little too close for comfort in the first leg, but there was no denying the best team went through. BATE will be in no mood to sit back and admire their work now. They know the tests will grow stronger with the passing of each game. Aris knows their opponents drew on the road in t...
Bet here Germany produced a dominant display to open their Women's World Cup 2023 campaign, and the two-time champions will be looking for a second straight win in Sydney on Sunday against Colombia to secure their passage through to the knockout round. South Korea vs Morocco Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 30.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Germany produced an electric display in their Group H opener to highlight their clear credentials for World Cup glory this year. The European nation were overlooked by many when it came to the side that could potentially win the tournament this summer, but their performance against Morocco certainly got fans talking. Alexandra Popp was out to make a statement after missing out on last year's EURO final due to injury, as the striker scored twice inside the opening 40 minutes. Further efforts were added by Klara Buhl and Lea Schuller. The victory extends Germany's dominant record in group stage matches at the World Cup, as they are now unbeaten in 20 games, which includes 16 victories. Bet here Colombia appears to be the nation most likely to join Germany in the knockout stage, as they made a professional start to their World Cup campaign in Sydney on Tuesday. The South American giants scored twice inside the opening 40 minutes, with Catalina Usme opening the scoring from the penalty spot, before Lina Caicedo doubled the advantage nine minutes later. The win was only Colombia's second at the Women's World Cup in their eighth appearance. However, they have now scored twice in each of their two wins at the tournament. It was a pleasing first half performance, which saw them double their first-half tally of goals in World Cup history having netted just once in their seven opening 45 minutes before Tuesday. Germany vs Colombia Head to Head This will be the first meeting between Germany and Colombia at the World Cup. However, the South American side has a poor record at the competition against European opposition, as they have won just once in their previous three matches. Germany vs Colombia Prediction Germany certainly appears to be one of the leading contenders at the Women's World Cup this summer, and they could be set to produce another statement performance on Sunday. We could see the European giants running out as comfortable 4-0 winners in Sydney. Make sure to bet on Germany vs Colombia with 22Bet!
Women's World Cup 2023 Preview South Korea vs Morocco Prediction The two sides stuck on zero points in Group H at the Women's World Cup lock horns on Sunday in Adelaide. Both South Korea and Morocco will need to kickstart their campaign with a win this weekend if they are to have any hope of progression through to the knockout round. Morocco will need to bounce back quickly after suffering a heavy defeat in their first match at the Women's World Cup. They scored two own goals in a huge 6-0 loss against Germany to open Group H, and they likely paid the price for trying to go toe-to-toe with one of the most dominant nations in the history of the tournament. Germany scored twice in the first half, before they seized control quickly in the second with two more goals in the opening ten minutes after the break. The defeat saw Morocco become the eleventh nation since the 2019 edition of the World Cup to lose their debut match. In fact, six of the eight African debutants have suffered a loss in their first ever match at the competition. Bet here Things weren't much better for South Korea in their opening match at the Women's World Cup, as they paid the price for a sloppy ten minutes before the break, as they allowed Colombia to cruise into a 2-0 advantage. The defeat means that South Korea are now on the verge of being eliminated at the group stage for the second straight edition of the World Cup, and a third in four appearances. Losing their opening match at the competition is nothing new for South Korea, as they have lost their first match in each of their four previous appearances at the competition. Over that period, they have failed to find the back of the net, and they have conceded eleven times. This will be a first meeting between the nations at the World Cup. Meanwhile, South Korea were beaten by Nigeria in their only previous encounter with an African opponent at the competition in 2019. This is a challenging game to call, as both of these sides looked short of ideas in their opening match at the World Cup. However, the slight preference goes in favour of Morocco, who could be more competitive against a nation that they are more evenly matched against. Make sure to bet on South Korea vs Morocco with 22Bet!

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Switzerland vs New Zealand Prediction A huge match for the Women's World Cup hosts is set for Sunday, as New Zealand will be looking to book their passage through to the knockout round. However, they will need maximum points to assure a place in the top two positions in the standings against Switzerland. New Zealand would have been bitterly disappointed with their performance in their second match in Group A, as they fell to a shock 1-0 loss against the Philippines in Wellington. That loss now threatens to take their chance of progression through to the knockout stage away from them, as they must claim victory against Switzerland on the final day in Group A to book a place in the next round. A draw may yet be enough to book a place in the top two, but they will need Norway to hold the Philippines to a draw in the other match in the group. New Zealand made unwanted history in their recent defeat, as they become just the third host nation to lose a group stage match in their home World Cup. Bet here Switzerland will be content with the start to Group A that they have made, and a point will be enough to secure their passage through to the knockout round. The Swiss currently sit top of the standings after picking up four points from their opening two matches in the group stage. Progression through to the next round of the competition will see them match their previous best performance at the Women's World Cup, as they also reached the round of 16 in 2015. The Swiss has also kept clean sheets in back-to-back games at the World Cup for the first time in their history. This will be the first meeting between the sides at international level. However, New Zealand has a poor recent record against European opposition, with their win over Norway on matchday one being their only success in four matches. Both sides will be keeping one eye on the other match this group, as it will likely determine how this game is approached. However, Switzerland has been professional across their opening two matches, and we could see them getting over the line with a 1-0 win in Dunedin on Sunday. Make sure to bet on Switzerland vs New Zealand with 22Bet!

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Norway vs Philippines Prediction There is still a lot of play for in the final matches in Group A on Sunday, as Norway look to bounce back following two disappointing performances. However, the Philippines could progress to the knockout round for the first time with at least a point on Sunday. History could be made at the Women's World Cup on Sunday, as the Philippines will be looking to successfully achieve qualification to the knockout round for the first time in their history. The nation caused a shock result in their second match in Group A, as they stunned New Zealand to land a 1-0 victory. Their only goal in the game was scored after 24 minutes by Sarina Boiden, and they defended excellently to hold on to that advantage against the hosts. It was a memorable victory for the minnows, as they became the first World Cup debutants in this year's edition of the tournament to land a win. Meanwhile, it was the first time that an AFC debutant had kept a World Cup clean sheet since both China PR and Chinese Taipei managed the feat in the 1991 tournament. Bet here Norway have been among the sides that have underperformed at the World Cup this summer, and they could be eliminated from the competition at the first hurdle for only the second time in their history. They reached the quarterfinals in 2019, but they will need a victory and hope results go their way to achieve a top two finish this weekend. Norway recorded a draw in their second match in the competition against Switzerland. The result means that they have failed to win in four successive matches at the World Cup, which is their longest ever winless run at the competition. This is the first meeting between these two nations. Norway has a solid recent record against nations from the AFC region, as they have won each of their last five since a 5-0 defeat against China in the 1999 World Cup. This will be a famous night in the history of Philippine football, and they will be hopeful of not letting the opportunity pass them by. However, Norway's talent on the pitch is challenging to overlook, and we would be incredibly surprised if they aren't able to put together a performance capable of winning this match. Make sure to bet on Norway vs Philippines with 22Bet!

Sweden vs Italy Prediction The two sides that picked up dramatic wins in their opening fixtures in Group G will lock horns in Wellington on Saturday. Both Sweden and Italy will be aware that a victory this weekend will likely assure their passage through to the knockout stage at the Women's World Cup. The action in Group G at the Women's World Cup continues this weekend, as both Sweden and Italy will be looking for a second straight win to secure their passage through to the knockout stage. Sweden showed their character in their opening match, as they came back from a goal down to secure a 2-1 success over South Africa in Wellington. Their equalising goal was scored by Fridolina Rolfo, before Amanda Ilestedt scored a dramatic winner in the 90th minute. The victory ensured that Sweden maintained their unbeaten record against African opposition at the World Cup, and they have scored at least two gaols in four of the previous five clashes. The victory also ensured that Sweden were able to record a second straight win to start an edition of the World Cup for the first time in their history. Bet here Italy also produced a late show to claim maximum points in their opening match, with Cristiana Girelli scoring an excellent header with just three minutes remaining of the 90. The European nation were unfortunate not to be ahead earlier in the match, as they saw two goals ruled out following VAR interventions due to offside. It was a memorable start to the tournament for the Italians, as they have now won their first game at the World Cup in three of the previous four tournaments. However, they were defensively sound in their opening match, as they were able to keep a clean sheet in their opening match for the first time since 1991. This will be the first clash between the nations at the World Cup. However, they previously clashed in the Women's EUROs in 2017, with Italy landing a shock 3-2 win. But, Sweden have won four of the last five meetings between the nations at major tournaments. Italy looked excellent defensively in their opening match, and they appear to be one of the growing powers in the women's game. Sweden looked professional as they edged to a win over South Africa, but a draw could be a likely result in this second match in Group G. Make sure to bet on Sweden vs Italy with 22Bet!

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview The Women's World Cup action continues in Group F on Saturday, as Jamaica will be looking to build on their draw against France when they take on Panama. Panama will be hoping for a response after being brushed aside by Brazil in their opening match. Jamaica provided one of the shocks of the opening week at the Women's World Cup, as they managed to hold European giants France to a 0-0 draw in the opening round of matches in Group F. That stalemate has given them an unlikely chance of escaping the group, and a victory in their second match against Panama could put them on course to take one of the qualifying spots for the next round of the competition. It was nothing less than Jamaica deserved following their efforts in the opening match, as they defended excellently to keep France at arms-length throughout the 90 minutes. It was a memorable achievement for Jamaica, as it was the first point that they had picked up at the World Cup after losing in each of their three matches at the tournament four years ago. Bet here Panama will be aware that they now have a very slim chance of reaching the next round after they were put to the sword by a dominant Brazil in their opening match in Group F. The Central American side conceded twice in either half, and could muster just two shots on target in response against a rampant Brazilian side. The defeat leaves Panama at the bottom of the group standings after the opening round of matches, and it means that they have now lost each of their last three internationals without scoring a goal. This will be the first meeting between these nations at the World Cup. The standout recent clash between the teams came at the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship, as the sides met in the match for third place. Jamaica came out on top in a penalty shootout following a 2-2 draw after extra time. Bet here Jamaica were very impressive defensively against France, but their attacking players will likely take the limelight in this second group stage match. We fully expect Jamaica to land a first ever win at the World Cup this Saturday. Make sure to bet on Panama vs Jamaica with 22Bet!

Bet here A thrilling match is in prospect on Saturday, as the two leading chances in Group F lock horns in Brisbane. Brazil kicked off their campaign with a victory, and a win over France would secure their spot in the knockout stage with a game to spare. Panama vs Jamaica Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 29.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview It was a sensational and dramatic start to proceedings in Group F at the Women's World Cup this week, with Brazil currently sitting top of the standings as the only nation that was able to collect maximum points. Their win was full of attacking flair, including an early goal of the tournament contender netted by Bian Zanerrato. It was also a standout performance from Ary Borges, as the 23-year-old became just the fifth different player to score a hat-trick on their World Cup debut. The win means that Brazil has now landed victories in each of the opening nine editions of the World Cup, and they have scored a staggering 27 goals over that period and have allowed just one. However, this will be a bigger test of their quality in terms of going deep in the competition this year. Bet here France once again flattered to deceive on their opening showing at the World Cup this year, as they couldn't find a way through against lowly-ranked Jamaica. The French could only manage five shots on target in that opening night 0-0 draw, but their rivals were fully deserving of a historic tie to kick off their World Cup campaign. The stalemate marked only the second time in World Cup history that France have failed to kick off their campaign with a victory. But, they have kept clean sheets in each of their opening four matches on the opening day. France vs Brazil Head to Head This will be a third meeting between Brazil and France at the World Cup. The first clash came in 2003, and saw the points shared following a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, France landed a 2-1 win after extra-time in the previous edition of the tournament at the quarterfinal stage. France vs Brazil Prediction It would be fair to say that Brazil are a better team than they were four years ago, while France has regressed slightly. Therefore, we could see the South American side putting down a marker for the tournament ahead by landing a comfortable 2-0 win. Make sure to bet on France vs Brazil with 22Bet!

Bet here The pressure will be on both Argentina and South Africa as they take to the field for their second matches in Group G on Friday. Both nations kicked off the Women's World Cup with defeats, meaning that only a win this week will keep alive their hopes of progression. China vs Haiti Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 28.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview South Africa and Argentina will both be licking their wounds after unlucky defeats in their opening matches in Group G. In truth, the current standings in the group could have been flipped on their heads had both Argentina and South Africa took their chances in their opening matches against Italy and Sweden, respectively. South Africa threw everything that they had against Sweden in their opening match, and deservedly took the lead after 48 minutes following Hidah Magaia's strike. The African nation has suffered defeats in each of their four matches at the World Cup, and they have opened the scoring in half of those matches. Holding onto leads is the big question that they face coming into this second match, but they will be confident that a first World Cup win is getting closer. Bet here Argentina was also extremely unlucky in their opening match at the World Cup, as Italy netted their winner with just three minutes of the 90 remaining. However, the European nation did have two efforts ruled out earlier in the match after VAR intervention. The defeat was the tenth match that Argentina have played at the World Cup, and they are still waiting for a victory after losing on eight occasions and being held to two draws. Argentina will need to be more disciplined in their second match having made 16 fouls to contribute to 36 in total across the 90 minutes; the most in any match at the 2023 Women's World Cup to this point. Argentina vs South Africa Head to Head This will be the first meeting between the two nations. It is also the first time that South Africa will come up against a South American nation at the World Cup. It will also be the first time that Argentina comes up against an African nation at the competition. Argentina vs South Africa Prediction This is a really challenging match to call in Group G, as both sides were extremely unlucky in their opening match. We could see a low-scoring draw being played out between the nations on Friday morning. Make sure to bet on Argentina vs South Africa with 22Bet!

Bet here The pressure will be on China as they compete in their second match in Group D on Friday. They were beaten in their opening match by Denmark, meaning that they must respond to stand any chance of progression through to the knockout round. England vs Denmark Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 28.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview It was a disappointing start to the Women's World Cup for China, as they suffered defeat in their opening match against Denmark. That loss leaves them sitting third in the standings, and only a win in this upcoming match against Haiti will give them a chance of reaching the knockout stage at the World Cup this summer. It was a cruel end to their opening match at the tournament, as the Danes scored their winning goal with just a minute remaining of the 90, meaning that China had no time to respond. The defeat was the first that they had suffered against Denmark in four previous encounters at the World Cup. China's attacking players will certainly feel the pressure coming into this showdown, as the nation has now failed to score in five of their last six matches at the tournament. Bet here It would be fair to say that Haiti were one of the unlucky losers in the opening round of matches in Group D. The World Cup debutants more than held their own against reigning EURO champions England, and could have easily forced a draw in the closing stages. It was a nervy end to the game for England, with Haiti coming close on several occasions in the final 15 minutes. However, they will have an immediate opportunity to bounce back to winning ways when they take on China this week. But, they have now lost each of their last two international matches. China vs Haiti Head to Head This will be the first clash between these two nations, with Haiti only coming up against a nation from the AFC region on one occasion in the past two years. On that occasion, they were beaten 2-1 by South Korea in July 2022. China vs Haiti Prediction China were disappointing in the final third against Denmark, but they will look to play more on the front foot against Haiti. However, we could make a strong case for Haiti to land victory, as they looked vibrant and sharp in the attacking third against England on Saturday. Make sure to bet on China vs Haiti with 22Bet!

Bet here An interesting showdown in Group D will take place on Friday in Sydney, as England and Denmark will be looking to secure their passage through to the knockout round. But, which of the European nations can secure their place in the knockout stages? China vs Haiti Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 28.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview It's fair to say that the reigning European Champions came into the World Cup with questions to answer after failing to score in each of their last three international fixtures. It would also be safe to say that they didn't answer those questions in the resounding manner than many expected in their opening match against Haiti, as they edged to a 1-0 win following a retaken penalty following VAR intervention by Georgia Stanway. It wasn't for the lack of trying by England, as they registered eleven shots on target in that success, but they lacked a clinical edge that would have saw them run out wider-scoring winners. The victory means that England have now won their last six group stage matches at the World Cup, but it was just the third time in six appearances that they had won their opening match. Bet here Denmark will present a far more challenging test for the Lionesses on Friday morning, as they could secure their passage through to the knockout stage with a game to spare. The Danes were forced to be incredibly patient in their opening match against China, with the deadlock being broken with just a minute of normal time remaining by Amalie Vangsgaard. It was a memorable moment for Denmark, as it marked the first time in four attempts that the Danes had registered a win over China. It was also the third time that Denmark had won their opening match, and the first time that they had achieved that feat since 1995. England vs Denmark Head to Head This will be the fifth clash between England and Denmark since 2005, with the Lionesses holding a decent advantage having landed three victories. Denmark has landed just a single win from the previous clashes. England vs Denmark Prediction This will be a tricky game for England, despite the advantage that they hold in the overall record. They were well below their best in their opening match, and we wouldn't be surprised to see Denmark land a shock win in Sydney on Friday morning. Make sure to bet on England vs Denmark with 22Bet!

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview The two sides without a win following the opening round of matches in Group E will lock horns in Hamilton on Thursday. Portugal will need maximum points to ensure that they go into the final round of matches with a fighting chance of reaching the knockout round. Portugal weren't able to get off to the dream start at the Women's World Cup in their Group E opener, as they fell to defeat against the Netherlands. The loss was the eighth time in nine clashes that they had lost to the Dutch, and it means that each of the last ten debutants at the World Cup had suffered defeat in their opening matches at the competition. But, Portugal will see this showdown against Vietnam as a perfect opportunity to register a victory. European nations making their debut at the World Cup has suffered on the second round of matches throughout history, with only one of the last three landing a win. However, Portugal remains one of the growing nations in the women's game, and they will be confident ahead of this clash.

In history, only one previous nation from the AFC region has lost each of their opening two matches at the World Cup by margins of 3+ goals. However, they will need to show more in the final third on Thursday after becoming the first nation since 2011 to fail to register a single shot in a World Cup fixture. This will be the first time that Portugal and Vietnam have locked horns in an international fixture. In fact, only once have debuting nations from Europe and AFC met in the World Cup, with France landing a 1-0 win over South Korea in 2003. Portugal showed in their opening match that they are on the right track in the women's game. Therefore, we fully expect them to record a first ever win at the World Cup on Thursday against Vietnam. Make sure to bet on Portugal vs Vietnam with 22Bet!

The scoring in their opening win was completed with just 13 minutes remaining, as Lindsey Horan netted the third goal. The U.S. has a dominant record against European nations at the World Cup, as they have won seven of their last eight.

Bet here Spain will play their second group stage match at the Women's World Cup on Wednesday, and a victory could secure their progression through to the knockout round. Zambia will be looking for a response after a big defeat in their opening match. Japan vs Costa Rica Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 26.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Spain made an electric start to their Group C campaign over the weekend, as they landed a 3-0 win over Costa Rica. It was a stunning display by the European nation, and they evidentially took their foot off the accelerator in the second half after racing into a commanding advantage. Aitana Bonmati Conca and Esther Gonzalez both scored goals in the first half, in a match where Spain registered a staggering 46 shots. Defensively, they were solid in that opening match, as they didn't allow Costa Rica to register a single shot in response. Spain has now kept clean sheets in each of their last two matches at the World Cup, and their 3-0 win on matchday one was their biggest victory in their history at the World Cup. Bet here The pressure will be on Zambia this week, as they weren't able to kick on following a famous warm-up win over Germany. In fact, they were overwhelmed against Japan, as they conceded five goals. That was the second biggest defeat suffered by an African team at the World Cup. The trends certainly go against them for this second matchday outing, as each of the last six African nations to have qualified for the World Cup have lost their second match at the World Cup. Zambia has also lost four of their previous seven matches across all competitions, conceding a staggering 23 goals over that period. Spain vs Zambia Head to Head This will be a first meeting between Zambia and Spain at the World Cup. However, Spain was excellent in their previous match against African opposition, as they recorded a 3-1 win over South Africa in their opening match at the 2019 World Cup. Spain vs Zambia Prediction Things were pretty challenging for Zambia in their opening match, and they don't get much easier against Spain at Eden Park this week. We really struggle to overlook Spain maintaining their excellent run of form, and we see the European nation landing a comfortable 6-0 win against their African rivals. Make sure to bet on Spain vs Zambia with 22Bet!

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Japan vs Costa Rica Prediction There were few more impressive nations in the opening round of group stage matches at the 2023 Women's World Cup than Japan. The Asian nation could effectively secure their passage through to the next round on Wednesday with a victory over Costa Rica. Japan may be one of the nations that could upset the odds at the Women's World Cup this summer, as the Asian nation chases a second tournament success. They previously won the tournament in 2011, before reaching the final in 2015. Japan was excellent in their opening match of the tournament this year, as they landed a stunning 5-0 win over Zambia on Saturday morning. Hinata Miyazawa scored twice in that success, while further efforts were registered by Mina Tanaka, Jun Endo, and Riko Ueki. It was the manner of their success that was most encouraging, as they looked well-drilled, and created a huge number of chances throughout the match. That could be a worrying factor for Costa Rica this week. Bet here Costa Rica are playing at just their second Women's World Cup this year, and they are still chasing a first win at the tournament. They have lost two of their four matches at the competition, and are yet to keep a clean sheet. It appears unlikely that they have the required quality to progress from this group, evident from their 3-0 loss against Spain on matchday one. Costa Rica looked to play on the counter-attack in their opening match against Spain, as the recorded just 19.9% of the possession. That was a record low in a match at the Women's World Cup, and they completed a tournament-low of just 74 passes. This will be a first meeting between Japan and Costa Rica at the World Cup. Japan has a poor record against sides from the region at the tournament, as they have won just once in their previous seven matches against teams from the CONCACAF region. Japan's record against CONCACAF opposition is hard to dismiss. However, they were excellent in their opening match, and I fully expect them to continue their excellent progression on Wednesday. I could see Japan recording a 4-0 win over Costa Rica. Make sure to bet on Japan vs Costa Rica with 22Bet!

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Canada vs Ireland Prediction Women's World Cup action resumed in Group B on Wednesday, as Canada and Ireland will be looking to land a first victory at the competition this summer. Both sides were unable to register victories in their opening matches, meaning that there will be pressure when they collide in Perth. There is a wide-open feel to proceedings in Group B at the Women's World Cup, and there will be pressure on both Canada and Ireland to register victory in their second group stage match on Wednesday. Both nations currently sit without a win in the group, with Canada being forced to settle for an underwhelming 0-0 draw in their opening match against Nigeria late last week. However, Canada has been one of the most consistent nations at this stage of the World Cup throughout their history, as they have lost just once in seven group stage games. In fact, Canada has managed to keep clean sheets in five of their seven recent matches in the group stage. Meanwhile, they haven't conceded a first half goal in eight matches at the Women's World Cup group stage. Bet here Ireland were potentially more impressive than any expected in their opening match in Group B, as they had more than enough chances to rescue a draw against Australia last week. However, they will need to be more clinical in the final third of the field this week if they are to keep alive their hopes of progression through to the next round. That defeat against Australia means that they could become only the second nation from Europe to lose each of their opening matches at the World Cup. The only other team to have lost in successive World Cup matches in their first two games in history was Scotland in the previous edition of the tournament. Canada has a poor record against European nations at the World Cup, as they have lost 12 of their last 14 against nations from the continent. The only matches in which they avoided defeat came in the 2015 tournament, as they held the Netherlands and beat Switzerland. I was very impressed by Ireland in their opening match at the World Cup, and they could have easily took a point from their match against Australia. I expect another competitive performance this week, and I could see them landing a famous win. Make sure to bet on Canada vs Ireland with 22Bet!

Colombia vs South Korea Prediction Colombia and South Korea open their 2023 Women's World Cup campaign on Tuesday at Sydney Football Stadium. Both sides will be looking to get off to the perfect start, as the battle for second spot in Group H promises to be intense. There promises to be a competitive feel to proceedings in Group H, with all four nations holding a realistic chance of progression. Colombia will be making their return to the Women's World Cup after missing out on a spot in 2019. However, they were competitive in the 2015 edition of the tournament, as they managed to make it out of the group before falling to the United States in the round of 16. But, Colombia has won just once in seven previous World Cup appearances, and they have scored just four goals. However, confidence would have been taken from their performances in their recent appearance, as they landed a victory over France, before falling to narrow defeats against England and the United States.

They fell to three straight defeats in the previous edition of the tournament, conceding eight goals and scoring just once.

But, they come into the tournament this summer in solid recent form, as they have won each of their last three matches.

This will be a first ever meeting between South Korea and Colombia. However, South Korea has lost each of their previous two showdowns against nations from South America at the World Cup without scoring a single goal.

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview New Zealand vs Philippines Prediction The second round of matches in Group A at the Women's World Cup take place on Tuesday. It was a memorable opening night for one of the host nations, as New Zealand upset the odds to land victory over Norway. They could effectively secure their passage through to the knockout round in Wellington with a victory over the Philippines. New Zealand made an early statement at the World Cup in the first game at the competition, as they recorded a famous 1-0 win over Norway at Eden Park. Hannah Wilkinson was the match-winner in that opening match, as she netted the winner early in the second half to stun the Norwegians. New Zealand defended excellently to secure maximum points, and they will now feel as though they have an excellent chance of progression. However, there are a number of trends in their favour ahead of the second match, as four of the previous eight World Cup hosts have won each of their opening two matches at the competition. Confidence will also be high after their win over Norway, which was their first success in 15 outings at the competition. Bet here There will be pressure on the Philippines this week, as their stay at the World Cup could come to an end on Tuesday. The Asian nation was easily beaten in their opening match at the competition, as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Switzerland.

However, New Zealand are winless in four previous encounters against Asian nations at the World Cup. They have lost three matches over that period, which includes defeats against China and Japan.

Bet here One of the most successful teams in Women's World Cup history will open their Group H campaign on Monday, as Germany begin their hunt for a third triumph in Melbourne against Morocco. Italy vs Argentina Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 24.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Germany will be looking to continue their dominant record at the Women's World Cup this summer, as they chase a third world championship. The nation previously won back-to-back tournaments in 2003 and 2007, but they have failed to make the final since the second of those victories. They will have a point to prove this summer after failing to make it past the quarterfinal stage at the World Cup in 2019. Germany also fell at the same hurdle at the EUROs last summer, which ended their six-tournament dominance on the continental tournament. They have looked anything put unbeatable throughout their warm-up matches this year, as they have landed just two wins from five internationals. They will have to bounce back to winning ways in this opening match, as they were stunned by Zambia in their final warm-up match on July 7. Bet here Morocco will make their World Cup debut this year, and there are few sterner tests than a showdown against Germany. The African nation should come into this tournament in good form, as they achieved a historic feat last year by reaching the final of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations. However, they have struggled for consistency in their warm-up matches. Morocco has failed to score in each of their last five internationals, which includes defeats against Jamaica, Romania, and the Czech Republic since the start of April. They were also unable to find a goal in 0-0 draws against Italy and Switzerland. Therefore, this looks like an extremely difficult challenge to see them getting anything from this opening match. Germany vs Morocco Head to Head This will be a first meeting between Germany and Morocco. The two nations have never previously clashed in an international friendly, nor a World Cup fixture. Germany vs Morocco Prediction Morocco's issues have been evident throughout their warm-up matches, as they have been unable to put together any run of wins. Therefore, this looks to be a near-impossible challenge against Germany. If the European nation is at their best, we expect Germany to win, and that could come by a 6-0 scoreline.

Bet here The Women's World Cup action continues on Monday, as Italy and Argentina lock horns in their first fixtures in Group G. Both sides will be desperate to get off the mark with maximum points ahead of showdowns with Sweden. Brazil vs Panama Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 24.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview This promises to be an exciting match in the opening round of fixtures in Group G. Italy appear back on an upward trajectory at present, as they managed to qualify for a first World Cup in 20 years back in 2019. They impressed at the major tournament to reach the quarterfinals after winning three of their five matches. However, they weren't able to build on that showing at the EUROs last summer, as they were eliminated in the group stage after failing to win in three matches. The Italians endured a poor run of results at the start of the year, as they were beaten by Belgium and England. However, they have responded well to win three of their last four. Their final warm-up match was played on July 14, as they landed a hard-fought 1-0 win over New Zealand in Auckland. Bet here Argentina have struggled in recent editions of the World Cup, as they have failed to progress through to the knockout round in their previous three appearances. They were poor at the 2019 World Cup, as they failed to win in three matches. That record means that they are still without a win in nine matches at the World Cup. Argentina comes into the tournament after a decent showing at last summer's Copa America Femenina, as they concluded the competition in third place. Their form this year has been solid, as they have gone six matches without defeat. They have won each of their last two warm-up matches before the World Cup, which includes a 4-0 win over Peru on July 14. Italy vs Argentina Head to Head This will only be the second meeting between the sides. Italy were winners in the only previous encounter between the nations, as they landed a 4-0 win in a friendly international. Italy vs Argentina Prediction Argentina should come into the tournament in good mood after a run of positive performances in their warm-up matches. However, Italy clearly has the better quality across the field, which means that we will be siding with the European nation picking up maximum points in this Group G opener.

Bet here The competitive action in Group F at the Women's World Cup continues on Monday, as Brazil open their campaign against Panama. The South American nation could be solid contender this summer if able to transfer their form from last summer. Women's World Cup 2023 Preview It promises to be a thrilling round of action in Group F, as Brazil and France will likely be battling for top spot in the standings. The South American nation open their account on Monday, and they could hold a realistic chance of landing a maiden World Cup honour based on their displays in the Copa America Femenina last year. Brazil won that regional competition for the fourth year running, but they have often struggled on the global stage. Brazil's best appearance at the World Cup came back in 2007, as they were beaten finalists. However, they haven't managed to make it past the round of 16 stage in each of the last two editions of the tournament. They at least come into the World Cup in good form after winning back-to-back games against Germany and Chile. Bet here Panama will be looking to cause an upset in the tournament this year, as they are represented at the World Cup for the first time. It has been a disappointing 12 months for the nation, as they also exited the CONCACAF Women's Championship in the group stage after winning just once from three matches. Their recent form would also be a very big concern, as they have lost three of their last five international matches. The last two outings would be the most concerning, as they were thumped 7-0 by Spain in June, before losing 5-0 against Japan on July 14. Brazil vs Panama Head to Head This will be the first clash between Brazil and Panama. Both sides will be desperate to land victory, but the Brazilians will be the clear favourites to land maximum points in their Group F opener. Brazil vs Panama Prediction This could be a miss-match in the opening round of fixtures in Group F. Brazil appear to be far too strong for Panama on paper, and they could run out big-scoring winners to put down a marker for the tournament. Therefore, we will be siding with Brazil to land victory by a 4-0 scoreline. Make sure to bet on Brazil vs Panama with 22Bet!

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview The action in Group G at the Women's World Cup gets underway on Sunday, as one of the potential underdog contenders to win the tournament take to the field. Sweden will be looking for a first World Cup honour, but they face a difficult opening match against South Africa. Sweden has been one of the most successful nations in the women's game for generations, but they are yet to get their hands on the World Cup. They have come close on a number of occasions, most notably in 2003, as they were beaten in the final. Sweden has also finished third on more occasions than any other nation, including in 2019 after beating England in France. However, the Swedes will have a tough challenge to repeat that feat this summer, as they have struggled to put together a run of victories throughout the year. Sweden has won just twice from five international matches, with one of those coming against the Philippines in July. While they may have the quality to navigate the group stage, they could come up short when the knockout rounds get underway. Bet here South Africa will be making their second appearance at the World Cup this summer. However, they will be hoping for a better performance than they managed in France in 2019, as they failed to pick up a single point from three group stage matches. During the group phase, they conceded eight goals, and scored just once. It's likely that South Africa could struggle once again at the World Cup this summer, as they have won just twice from their previous eight international matches. However, they did warm up for the competition with a fine 2-0 win over Costa Rica in mid July. This will be the sixth time that Sweden and South Africa have locked horns at the World Cup. The Swedes are unbeaten in all four previous encounters, having landing three wins. They have also kept clean sheets in the three most recent clashes between the nations. This could be a tricky opening test for Sweden against South Africa. However, we fully expect the Swedes to continue their excellent record against the African nation to open Group G with a victory. A chance will be taken on a 2-0 win for Sweden on Sunday. Make sure to bet on Sweden vs South Africa with 22Bet!

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview The action in Group F at the Women's World Cup gets underway on Sunday, as France look to kick off their campaign with maximum points against Jamaica. The French will be desperate to start with a win, as they come up against Brazil in the second round of matches. The action in Group F at the Women's World Cup gets underway on Sunday, with France clashing with Jamaica at Sydney Football Stadium. France has often been a nation that has flattered to deceive at competitive tournaments, as they boast one of the most talented squads but as yet haven't been able to transfer that to wins. The pressure was on the French at the World Cup four years ago, as they had hosting responsibilities, but they crashed out at the quarterfinal stage. However, their results this year have picked up, and they could be hitting form at the right time. France suffered a rare loss in their previous international match, as they were beaten 1-0 by Australia. However, that loss ended a seven match winning streak, which included victories against Canada, Denmark, and Norway. Bet here Jamaica will be competing in their second World Cup this summer, and they will be looking for an improvement in 2023 after failing to pick up a single point at the tournament in 2019. Across three matches, they conceded 12 goals, and scored just once. However, there has certainly been improvement from the team, as they finished in third place at the CONCACAF Women's Championship last summer. But, Jamaica comes into the World Cup in poor form this year. They have registered just two wins from eight international matches. Their most recent win was secured against Morocco, but they have lost against more competitive nations such as Mexico, El Salvador, and Australia in 2023. This will be a first meeting between France and Jamaica. The French has won two and lost two from their previous four against nations from the CONCACAF region at the World Cup. There will be pressure on France to get their campaign off to the best possible start. It should be a tricky assignment against Jamaica, but we fully expect the European nation to safely secure maximum points with a 3-0 win. Make sure to bet on France vs Jamaica with 22Bet!

Their most recent win was secured against Morocco, but they have lost against more competitive nations such as Mexico, El Salvador, and Australia in 2023.

The French has won two and lost two from their previous four against nations from the CONCACAF region at the World Cup. France vs Jamaica Prediction There will be pressure on France to get their campaign off to the best possible start. It should be a tricky assignment against Jamaica, but we fully expect the European nation to safely secure maximum points with a 3-0 win. Make sure to bet on France vs Jamaica with 22Bet!

FCI Levadia vs MSK Zilina Prediction: Conference League on 20.07.2023 Key Highlights FC Santa Coloma held Penybont to a 1-1 draw away from home in the first leg, last week. They will look to leverage the home advantage to push them over the line against Penybont on Thursday.

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Netherlands vs Portugal Prediction Competitive action in Group E continues on Sunday, as the two main contenders for a place in the next round lock horns. However, both the Netherlands and Portugal will be aware of the importance of winning this match with showdowns against the United States to come after matchday one. The Netherlands could be one of the nations that have been overlooked in the outright betting at the World Cup this summer. They were losing finalists in the 2019 edition of the tournament, eventually falling to a 2-0 defeat against the United States. The Dutch has an excellent record against European opposition at the World Cup, as they have won each of their last two clashes without conceding a goal. This summer will only be their third appearance at the World Cup after making their debut at the competition in 2015. However, they have managed to escape the group stage in each of the previous two editions. Their recent form appears solid on paper, as they have registered back-to-back wins against Poland and Belgium. However, defeats against Germany and Austria could show their limitations for when the knockout round gets underway. Bet here Portugal will be making their debut at the World Cup this summer after gaining qualification by winning ten from 13 matches. They played at a second major tournament at last summer's EUROs, but they exited the tournament in the group stage after failing to win in three matches. But, Portugal could easily be one of the most progressive women's teams in the tournament this year, as they have held their own against well-respected nations already this year. That includes narrow defeats against Japan and Norway, and holding the reigning European champions England to a 0-0 draw. This will be the ninth clash between Portugal and the Netherlands. The Dutch have won seven of the previous encounters, which includes victories in each of the last five. However, it promises to be a tight match, as six of the last eight have been won by a single-goal margin. This is a huge match in the context of the second spot in Group E, with the winning nation putting themselves into an excellent position. Portugal has impressed in recent months, but we see the Dutch getting over the line with a 2-1 win in Dunedin. Make sure to bet on Netherlands vs Portugal with 22Bet!

USA vs Vietnam Prediction The reigning world champions open their World Cup campaign on Friday evening, as the United States begin their hunt for a third straight title. The USWNT are heavily expected to top Group E, and this should be a routine opening clash on matchday one against Vietnam. The USA is one of the most dominant teams in the history of women's football, and they will be chasing an unprecedented third straight World Cup success this summer. They have an excellent record at the tournament, as they have won each of their last 12 matches at the competition. Over that period, they have scored an impressive 37 goals, and they have allowed just five. Their record on matchday one at the World Cup is also very impressive, as they have won their opening match in six of their eight campaigns. The USA comes into the World Cup in dominant form, as they have won each of their last eight international matches. They have won their last three without conceding goals, and have already registered victories over Brazil, Canada, and Japan this calendar year. Bet here Vietnam will be making their World Cup debut this year, and they face the daunting test of facing the reigning world champions in their first match. The nation enjoyed a memorable summer in 2022, as they reached the last eight at the AFC Women's Asian Cup. However, the fact that they conceded 12 goals during that campaign doesn't bode well for their chances this summer. Vietnam comes into the World Cup after suffering three straight losses. That includes a 9-0 hammering at the hands of Spain on July 12. Furthermore, they have scored just once in their last three internationals. The USA and Vietnam will clash for the first time in history on matchday one. However, the USA is unbeaten in all of their 22 matches against nations from the AFC region, scoring an average of 3.6 goals per game. The United States opened their 2019 World Cup campaign with a 13-0 win over Thailand. That competition-record winning margin could be in danger at Eden Park on Friday, as the USA could easily run riot in New Zealand. A bet on USA (-10) may be one of the best value angles for wagers on this fixture. Make sure to bet on USA vs Vietnam with 22Bet!

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview It promises to be a fascinating battle for qualification in Group D, with three of the four teams involved ranked inside the top 20. China and Denmark will meet in an important opening match in Perth on Saturday, with both sides desperate to get off to a winning start. This will be a huge match in Group D for both China and Denmark, as both sides chances of progression could be negatively impacted if they aren't able to pick up maximum points. Denmark could be one of the live dark horses in the competition this year, as they cruised toward qualification after winning all eight matches. That was a stark improvement compared to their previous record in qualifying, as they had won just 16 from 32 before the previous qualifying round. Their form since achieving qualification has also been impressive, as they have won four of their last five internationals. The only defeat that they have suffered over that period was a 2-0 home loss against Spain. However, wins over Norway, Sweden, and Japan highlight just how seriously they should be taken in Group D. Bet here China has an excellent record at the World Cup, as they have made it through the group stage on all six occasions in which they have reached the major tournament. However, they were slightly below their best in 2019, as they exited the World Cup in the round of 16 stage after winning just one of their four matches. Their record this year has also been slightly inconsistent, as China has won just twice in eight matches. Both victories that they recorded came against Russia in early July. Since then, they were easily beaten 3-0 by Brazil, and held to a 2-2 draw against Colombia. Denmark has faced China more frequently than any other nation at the World Cup. However, the European nation is yet to record a victory against China, as they have lost twice and been held to one draw. The most recent clash saw China land a 3-2 win at the 2007 competition. This is a really interesting opening match in Group D, as both sides have the ability to go deep at the World Cup. However, the preference is for Denmark to continue their progression with a 2-0 win on matchday one. Make sure to bet on Denmark vs China with 22Bet!

Bet here One of the pre-tournament favourites for the World Cup will open their Group D campaign on Saturday, as England take to the field for the first time in Australia. The Lionesses will come up against Haiti, who will be looking to cause one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history. Zambia vs Japan Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 22.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview The pressure will be on England this summer, as the Lionesses come into the World Cup as the reigning European Champions. However, winning a first Women's World Cup will be a massive challenge for the team this summer, as they will need to contend without captain Leah Williamson, as well as Fran Kirby and Beth Mead. England will also have a point to prove in their opening match, as they have underperformed in recent internationals, and have failed to score in each of their last three matches. However, the Lionesses are one of just three nations that have reached the quarterfinals in each of the last four editions of the tournament, and one of just two nations that have reached the last four in the last two World Cups. Bet here Haiti will be making their first appearance at the World Cup this summer, and they face a huge challenge to make it out of a very competitive Group D. The nation will be looking for a much better summer this year, as they crashed out in the group stage of the CONCACAF Women's Championship last summer. But, their form this year has been solid. Haiti has won four of their six internationals in 2023, which includes big-scoring wins over Senegal and Malta. However, their winning run was halted in their final prep match, as they were beaten 2-1 by South Korea on July 8. England vs Haiti Head to Head This will be the first time that England and Haiti have locked horns. Meanwhile, England has never lost to a team from the CONCACAF region in the group stage at the World Cup, winning twice and drawing once. England vs Haiti Prediction This could be a tricky opening match for England, as Haiti has impressed against highly-ranked nations already this year. However, it looks challenging to oppose the Lionesses, and we could see them breaking their scoring draught by registering a 3-0 win. Make sure to bet on England vs Haiti with 22Bet!

Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Japan kick off their Women's World Cup campaign on Saturday, as they take on Zambia at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton. The match will give us a first look at one of the previous winners of the competition, and we can assess whether they have the credentials for another deep run. Japan has been one of the most consistent teams in women's football since the mid 1990s, and they could be one of the leading contenders that have gone under the radar this year. The nation landed a memorable World Cup victory back in 2011, and went close once again in 2015, as they finished as runners-up. However, they will be looking to get back on track at the competition this year after falling in the round of 16 in France four years ago. Japan has some questions to answer ahead of the start of the World Cup this year, as they have suffered three defeats from their six international matches in 2023. However, they were impressive in their final warm-up match on July 14, as they cruised to a 5-0 win over Panama. Bet here Zambia will be making their Women's World Cup debut in Australia and New Zealand this summer. They are one of eight teams that will be appearing in the competition for the first time, and they qualified for the World Cup after finishing third in the CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations last year. However, history goes against them this weekend, as only one previous nation from the continent has landed a victory in their debut match at the World Cup. But, there could be confidence within the camp that they may be well placed to cause an upset this year after beating Germany 3-2 in their final warm-up match at the start of July. This will be the first time that Japan and Zambia have clashed in the women's game. Zambia has only come up against AFC nations on three previous occasions, beating Uzbekistan, before losing back-to-back matches against Korea Republic. This should be an entertaining match at the World Cup, as Zambia only know one way to play. The African nation will look to attack at every opportunity, and that could lead to a high-scoring affair. Therefore, we will be siding with Japan to win, but we could see both teams finding the net. Make sure to bet on Zambia vs Japan with 22Bet!

UEFA holds a European Championship where national teams participate every four years. The next edition is expected to take place in the summer of 2024 in Germany. Six groups of four teams will battle it out on a round-robin basis, with the top two teams from each group and the four best third-placed teams making it to the last 16. That will mark the beginning of the knockout phase that will go on until the final. The tournament will begin on June 14 next year and go on until July 14, with 51 matches being played to crown the ultimate champions. Regarding the participating teams in the tournament, Germany has already qualified for it. Another 23 squads out of 53 participating European teams in the qualifying rounds will be cut by November this year. The final three teams will only be known in March 2024, after the qualifying playoffs are done. After narrowly missing out on the 2022 World Cup, France will be looking to go all the way and lift the UEFA Euro 2024 trophy. They have a very talented squad, and Kylian Mbappe is their star attraction. Les Bleus lost the World Cup Final to Argentina despite Mbappe's hat-trick, but the team will be motivated this time to back their star player up better. Les Bleus have already won the championship twice, and this time, they will be looking to go level with Spain and Germany by claiming their third title. Didier Deschamps will try his best to prepare his squad for all possible hurdles between them and the title during the tournament. If they can commit themselves as they did during the World Cup, there are high chances of them winning the title this time. After France, England are the next Euro 2024 favorites. The Three Lions have come up with impressive performances in the last World Cup and European Championship. England made it to the quarter-finals of the Qatar World Cup, where they eventually lost to France, and were also the runners-up in the last Euro competition, where they lost to Italy on penalties. The team has performed excellently under Gareth Southgate, but the silverware has always eluded them. Southgate also understands this could be his last chance to win a trophy with England. His position may come under scrutiny if he fails to win again with such a highly talented squad. Germany has won the European championship three times, joint most times with Spain, but their last Euro title win came back in 1996. Before 1996, Germany also won the Euro way back in 1972 and 1980. Their performance in the last Euro championship was very underwhelming. They recorded their worst finish in the competition's history as England knocked them out in the Round of 16. Hansi Flick is currently in charge of the team and has built a disciplined style of play that involves a strong midfield and defence. Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Timo Werner will be key players for Germany in Euro Cup 2024. Kimmich, in particular, has a significant role to play as he has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world over the last couple of years. Spain is the joint-most successful team in the history of the European championship, like Germany. They have won the title thrice and are the only team to win back-to-back tournaments (2008 and 2012). They didn't enjoy a good outing in the Qatar World Cup as they lost on penalties to Morocco in the Round of 16, but they did pretty well to reach the semi-finals of Euro 2020, where Italy beat them on penalties. Luis de la Fuente is managing the team following Luis Enrique's retirement, and he hopes to bring success to the young squad. Ramos and Sergio Busquets have already exited international football, and the baton has been passed on to young players like Ansu Fati and Pedri. Spain is known for their intricate passing style known as 'tiki-taka,' and the players will be looking to weave their magic on the field again. You can never count them out! Italy are the defending champions as they won Euro 2020, beating England on penalties in the final....
UEFA holds a European Championship where national teams participate every four years. The next edition is expected to take place in the summer of 2024 in Germany. Six groups of four teams will battle it out on a round-robin basis, with the top two teams from each group and the four best third-placed teams making it to the last 16. That will mark the beginning of the knockout phase that will go on until the final. The tournament will begin on June 14 next year and go on until July 14, with 51 matches being played to crown the ultimate champions. Regarding the participating teams in the tournament, Germany has already qualified for it. Another 23 squads out of 53 participating European teams in the qualifying rounds will be cut by November this year. The final three teams will only be known in March 2024, after the qualifying playoffs are done. Who Is Favorite to Win the Euros? France After narrowly missing out on the 2022 World Cup, France will be looking to go all the way and lift the UEFA Euro 2024 trophy. They have a very talented squad, and Kylian Mbappe is their star attraction. Les Bleus lost the World Cup Final to Argentina despite Mbappe's hat-trick, but the team will be motivated this time to back their star player up better. Les Bleus have already won the championship twice, and this time, they will be looking to go level with Spain and Germany by claiming their third title. Didier Deschamps will try his best to prepare his squad for all possible hurdles between them and the title during the tournament. If they can commit themselves as they did during the World Cup, there are high chances of them winning the title this time. England After France, England are the next Euro 2024 favorites. The Three Lions have come up with impressive performances in the last World Cup and European Championship. England made it to the quarter-finals of the Qatar World Cup, where they eventually lost to France, and were also the runners-up in the last Euro competition, where they lost to Italy on penalties. The team has performed excellently under Gareth Southgate, but the silverware has always eluded them. Southgate also understands this could be his last chance to win a trophy with England. His position may come under scrutiny if he fails to win again with such a highly talented squad. Germany Germany has won the European championship three times, joint most times with Spain, but their last Euro title win came back in 1996. Before 1996, Germany also won the Euro way back in 1972 and 1980. Their performance in the last Euro championship was very underwhelming. They recorded their worst finish in the competition's history as England knocked them out in the Round of 16. Hansi Flick is currently in charge of the team and has built a disciplined style of play that involves a strong midfield and defence.

Bet here One of the red-hot favorites for World Cup glory this summer will open their Group C campaign on Friday morning, as Spain take to the field for the first time in New Zealand. The Spanish will begin their quest for a first major honour in Wellington as they take on Costa Rica. Nigeria vs Canada Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 21.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Spain are one of the nations that I am most excited to see at the World Cup this summer, and they could be a team well-suited to going all the way. They are stacked with quality across the field, and don't have nearly the same level of injury issues that many other countries are having to deal with. Spain caught the eye at the EUROs last summer, as they reached the last eight. Their possession-based style also worked to great effect at the 2019 World Cup, as they reached the round of 16 before being edged out by the United States. The nation comes into this summer's World Cup in excellent record form, as they have won seven of their last eight international matches this year, and 12 of their last 14 since losing 2-1 to England at last year's EUROs. Bet here Costa Rica will be making their second appearance at the World Cup this summer. They previously reached the tournament in 2015, but they exited in the group stage after picking up two draws and a defeat. However, they enjoyed a fine summer last year, as they finished fourth at the CONCACAF Women's Championship. But, their form across the last two years would be a huge concern. This year, they have picked up just a single victory from nine international matches, which includes defeats against South Africa, Nigeria, and Poland. This looks like a very tall order for this Costa Rica side. Spain vs Costa Rica Head to Head This will be the second meeting between Costa Rica and Spain at the World Cup. The previous meeting came in the opening round of matches at the 2015 World Cup, as the nations shared the points following a 1-1 draw. Spain vs Costa Rica Prediction Spain is my pre-tournament pick to win the tournament, and they should have far too much for this Costa Rica side in their opening match. I fully expect the Spanish to run riot in Wellington, and the best bet may be on the European side on the (-3) handicap. Make sure to bet on Spain vs Costa Rica with 22Bet!

Bet here The second match in a wide-open Group B takes place at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium on Friday, as one of the pre-tournament favorites take to the field for the first time. Canada will be expected to showcase their credentials when they take on an unfancied Nigeria. Philippines vs Switzerland Prediction: Fifa Women's World Cup Match on 21.07.2023 Women's World Cup 2023 Preview Canada is one of the most successful teams throughout women's soccer history, having won the Olympic gold medal at the Tokyo games in 2020. However, they have never previously won the World Cup, with their best showing coming in 2003, as they concluded the event in fourth place. Canada has reached the knockout round in each of the previous two editions, but were eliminated in the round of 16 in 2019. However, the nation will have questions to answer at the tournament this year, as they have been below their best throughout their matches this calendar year. Their only win in five attempts was secured against Brazil in February, but since then, they have lost against Japan and France. Their final warm-up match saw them held to a 0-0 draw against England. Bet here Nigeria could be a very realistic outside contender to qualify from Group B, but their chances will likely be dependent on their result in this fixture. The nation is the only team from the CAF region to have reached every edition of the World Cup, but they have only reached the knockout stage on one occasion. Throughout their World Cup history, they have won just four of their 26 matches. But, their recent showings do highlight that progression has been made. Nigeria reached the round of 16 at the 2019 World Cup, and they have won each of their last three international matches, which includes a 3-0 win over New Zealand in April. Nigeria vs Canada Head to Head Interestingly, Nigeria is unbeaten in their two previous encounters against Canada at the World Cup. The first meeting ended in a dramatic 3-3 draw, before the African nation secured a famous 1-0 success at the 2011 tournament. Nigeria vs Canada Prediction We could see the World Cup coming to life in this fixture on Friday, as the first big shock of the group stages looks a realistic chance. Therefore, we will be siding with a victory for the in-form Nigeria to cause a major upset in Group B. Make sure to bet on Nigeria vs Canada with 22Bet!

The action in Group A continues on Friday, as the other two teams in the group clash at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin, New Zealand. Switzerland will be heavily favored to land maximum points, as they are clear second favorites to progress from Group A. The second match in Group A will take place in New Zealand on Friday morning, as Switzerland open their account against the Philippines. The European nation is clearly second choice in the betting to progress from the group, meaning that they will be expected to get off to the dream start. This will be Switzerland's second appearance at the World Cup, having previously reached the round of 16 at the 2015 tournament. However, despite reaching the knockout round, they only registered one victory during the campaign. Switzerland come into the tournament in exceptionally poor form, as they haven't won a match since booking their spot at the World Cup with a playoff win over Wales in October. Since then, they have been held to five draws from seven matches, which includes a recent 0-0 stalemate against Morocco. It will be a famous moment for the Philippines, as they will be making their World Cup debut at the tournament this year. They achieved a spot at the competition after reaching the last four at the AFC Women's Asian Cup last year, which was their best ever showing at the regional tournament. Defensively, they were solid at that competition, keeping two clean sheets in three group stage matches. However, the trends go against them when it comes to this opening match. Only one previous nation from the AFC region has won their debut match at the World Cup, as China registered a 4-0 win over Norway in 1991. This will be a first ever meeting between Switzerland and the Philippines. However, the Swiss lost on their only previous clash against a nation from the AFC region at the competition, as they were beaten 1-0 by Japan in the 2015 tournament. Neither side comes into this match with much momentum behind them, but the Philippines could be one of the nations that neutrals will enjoy watching. However, the preference is for the European nation to kick off with a victory in New Zealand. Make sure to bet on Philippines vs Switzerland with 22Bet!

Live casinos are available on almost every online gambling site. Casino operators will have a dedicated part of the website for live dealer games. The highlight of these games is that instead of using a computerized dealer, a real-life human dealer deals with all the cards in the game. But have you ever stopped to think for a second as to how exactly these games work? How do the live croupiers inside the game actually deal the cards to you sitting at home? We go in-depth in this article today to understand how live casino games online actually work. Live casinos refer to an online casino site section where a player can find all the live games. The live games in question are the table games that most of us are familiar with. Games like poker, blackjack, baccarat, and roulette are some common examples. The obvious difference, as we mentioned, is the presence of a live dealer. Having a human dealer adds a layer of immersion to the games that try to simulate the environment of you being on the casino floor. You should also keep in mind that the live games are not limited to only the card table games. Live casinos can also contain game shows like Spin the Wheel or live Monopoly. The options for the collection of the games vary from operator to operator. These live games are offered as separate "tables" in the live casino section. When you browse through the live dealer section, you will find multiple games having the same name from the same provider. These are just two different tables for the same game. You can find several options from different software providers with good reputations. You're free to choose the tables as you see fit. Once you join a table, you will be thrust into an interactive gambling experience where you can play with the other players. The short and simple answer to this question is to appeal to the group of players that enjoy playing live games. Besides this, the games are easy to set up on the website as the software provider handles the technical stuff. Casino operators don't need to hire live dealers to offer the games. The software provider handles all these things. Another reason why online casino sites offer these games is that the games are fair. Since live streaming happens with a human dealer with cameras from all sides, players don't have to fear being scammed in the live games. There's no better way to understand live dealer games than to look at the live casino technology being used. Here we're going to break down those technological features for you. OCR is the driving force behind all live casino games. Without it, you wouldn't have a user interface to interact with. Thanks to AI technology, the cards you see the dealers handling on the live stream appear on your screen in the player interface. You can view which cards you have and perform different actions thanks to this technology. Without OCR, there would be no live table games. For the best immersive experience, live table games use more than one camera to capture all of the action. Having a single powerful camera is enough. But watching the action unfold through just a single static lens doesn't have that big of an impact on the gameplay experience. You should be able to look at the dealer shuffling the cards and a precise angle on the cards placed on the table.You need this view for the OCR technology to do its work and show your cards to you. If you've ever been to a casino, you will know that the dealers need to speak to you and communicate with you when you're playing the game. The dealer has a microphone that they use to hear you talk. But if you are the one who needs to communicate, you need the chatbox. With this, you can send messages to converse as you would during a real time gaming session. As we're discussing the live dealer online casino games, we also need to address the possible potential of these games for the future. Will these become obsolete in ten years? From what we can tell, the chances of that happening are littl...

But have you ever stopped to think for a second as to how exactly these games work? How do the live croupiers inside the game actually deal the cards to you sitting at home? We go in-depth in this article today to understand how live casino games online actually work. Taking a Look at What Are Live Casinos Live casinos refer to an online casino site section where a player can find all the live games. The live games in question are the table games that most of us are familiar with. Games like poker, blackjack, baccarat, and roulette are some common examples. The obvious difference, as we mentioned, is the presence of a live dealer. Having a human dealer adds a layer of immersion to the games that try to simulate the environment of you being on the casino floor. You should also keep in mind that the live games are not limited to only the card table games. Live casinos can also contain game shows like Spin the Wheel or live Monopoly. The options for the collection of the games vary from operator to operator. These live games are offered as separate "tables" in the live casino section. When you browse through the live dealer section, you will find multiple games having the same name from the same provider. These are just two different tables for the same game. You can find several options from different software providers with good reputations. You're free to choose the tables as you see fit. Once you join a table, you will be thrust into an interactive gambling experience where you can play with the other players. Why Do Online Casinos Use Live Dealers? The short and simple answer to this question is to appeal to the group of players that enjoy playing live games. Besides this, the games are easy to set up on the website as the software provider handles the technical stuff. Casino operators don't need to hire live dealers to offer the games. The software provider handles all these things. Another reason why online casino sites offer these games is that the games are fair. Since live streaming happens with a human dealer with cameras from all sides, players don't have to fear being scammed in the live games. Technology Used By Live Dealer Casinos There's no better way to understand live dealer games than to look at the live casino technology being used. Here we're going to break down those technological features for you. 1. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) OCR is the driving force behind all live casino games. Without it, you wouldn't have a user interface to interact with. Thanks to AI technology, the cards you see the dealers handling on the live stream appear on your screen in the player interface. You can view which cards you have and perform different actions thanks to this technology. Without OCR, there would be no live table games. 2. Powerful Cameras For the best immersive experience, live table games use more than one camera to capture all of the action. Having a single powerful camera is enough. But watching the action unfold through just a single static lens doesn't have that big of an impact on the gameplay experience. You should be able to look at the dealer shuffling the cards and a precise angle on the cards placed on the table.You need this view for the OCR technology to do its work and show your cards to you. 3. Live Chat If you've ever been to a casino, you will know that the dealers need to speak to you and communicate with you when you're playing the game. The dealer has a microphone that they use to hear you talk. But if you are the one who needs to communicate, you need the chatbox. With this, you can send messages to converse as you would during a real time gaming session. Future of Live Casinos As we're discussing the l...

The summer transfer window 2023 has already witnessed some big-money signings and movements, and it is expected to give way to more such transfers until it closes on September 1. After it began on June 14, the top clubs of Europe and America have been busy strengthening their squad for the upcoming season. A new force from the East has also entered the market this summer transfer window, as many prominent names have been making a move to the Saudi Arabian Pro League. While some transfers have been on the expected lines, some movements have left the entire world in a spin. Here, we shall look at the latest rumours and confirmed deals from this football transfer window. This has been the most significant news coming out of this transfer window. After Messi’s move to Paris Saint-Germain last season due to unavoidable circumstances, the maestro was expected to return to Barcelona again this year, provided the club was financially able to bring him back. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out so, and Messi chose a new destination for himself: Inter Miami, a major club from USA’s Major League Soccer. Messi’s deal is worth over $150 million in total, including his wage, signing bonus and equity in the team. This excludes the money he will generate from selling his merchandise and other sponsorship deals. The Argentine is expected to join the club on July 1, and he will be seen making his debut for Inter Miami against Cruz Azul of Liga MX at DRV PNK Stadium on July 21. After 14 successful seasons with Real Madrid, Karim Benzema has decided to join Al-Ittihad from the Saudi Pro League. According to media reports, Benzema’s deal is worth more than 100 million euros ($106.89 million). This move makes sense considering the stage he is at in his career. Benzema is 35 years old now, which means he is at the twilight of his career, so there is no harm in going all out for one final big payday. He is still at the peak of his abilities, though. Benzema won the Ballon d’Or for his superb performance in the 2021/22 season, which saw him winning the Champions League and La Liga double with Real Madrid. Still only 19, Jude Bellingham has already established himself as one of the most sought-after players in the soccer world. Major clubs worldwide have been trying to get his signature for the last couple of years, and Real Madrid finally succeeded as they signed the youngster from Borussia Dortmund for a reported fee of €103 million ($110.4 million). Bellingham is also a key figure of the English side, and his stocks as a versatile midfielder are only supposed to shoot up in the coming years. He will have his task cut out at Real Madrid, though. The club has high expectations from him as they expect him to replace the likes of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos once they decide to hang their boots. But Bellingham will have a lot to learn as he will rub shoulders with the legends, which will eventually make the transition smoother. This deal hasn’t been finalized yet, but everything happening right now indicates the likelihood of this happening is high. Rice’s stocks have shot up as a defensive midfielder over the years. He came into the limelight even more as he guided West Ham to the Europa Conference League title, the team’s first major trophy since 1980. Rice is still just 24 years old and has many bright years ahead of him. He has established himself as one of the most promising holding midfielders in Europe, which sums up West Ham’s asking price of £100 million ($127.7 million) in the market. He has also improved his attacking potential of late, and we have seen him scoring some stunning goals this season. Arsenal look like the front runners to secure his signature in this transfer window, but they will have to compete hard with Manchester United and Manchester City. The French midfielder has been hailed as one of the best players of this generation, and he made a sensational move in this transfer window as he joined Al-Ittihad on a free transfer after ...

Our sports betting and casino brand, presented in over 60 countries, has a remarkable history of contributing to Nigeria’s sports and local communities. Since 2021, there have been plenty of activities across the country to improve the quality of life for Nigerians in many ways. Over the years, 22Bet has been a key partner for various sports communities, with grassroots football fans standing out. As a company today, we go beyond helping local football clubs and sports betting fans. Since at least 2022, we have participated in various local infrastructure improvement charity projects in Ibadan, Nigeria’s third most populous city. Let’s go through the essential events supported by 22Bet.ng all over Nigeria, starting in 2021. Partnership with Bariga FC Lagos In November 2021, as part of our efforts to support grassroots football in Nigeria, we donated training kits and equipment for Bariga FC Lagos. The ‘gift bag’ for the club included training markers, cones, hurdles, balls, and jerseys. Bariga FC, a grassroots football club based in the capital Lagos State, plays an important social role in the community. 22Bet.ng also sponsored the local tournament, Bariga Football Fiesta, with the club’s Team A and Team B participating. Mr Adebayo Samuel Ajal, 22Bet’s Brand Marketing & Communication department Head, said, “We are excited to have formed this partnership with Bariga FC; we feel this is vital in promoting and contributing to the grassroots football industry in Nigeria.” He also mentioned that such a charity event was the beginning of partnerships with other grassroots football clubs. As part of this initiative, a water borehole system was also installed within Bariga FC’s training ground. 22Bet Socialiga 5eves tournament The SociaLiga 5ves is a one-day, five-bay football, entertainment, and lifestyle event scheduled once a quarter. Major brands like Guinness Nigeria, 22Bet.ng, and several Fintech companies participated in the December 2021 edition. We proudly announce that Team 22Bet eventually became the tournament’s winner. 22Bet League of Champions football tournament The League of Champions is a highly entertaining and contested 5-A-side tournament with over 150 footballers and hundreds of spectators from local teams in the Ibeju Lekki area of Lagos. Our team was a proud participant in the tournament in May 2022. Water borehole Ibadan Project Phase 1 We understand the importance of corporate social projects for the country’s sports betting fans and communities. In September 2022, we launched an ambitious project to deliver fresh water and install new public toilet facilities for the people of the Oyo area. As a first step, we have started the project to provide functional water borehole facilities for the two key Ibadan markets, the Moniya and Gbagi International markets. Both spots are popular marketplaces in the heart of Ibadan. The Country Manager/COO of West Africa, Mr Fikayo Ogunfuye, stressed the importance of meeting water challenges for both places. This charity initiative was very successful, meeting the community’s expectations. As a result, we have decided to take another step in this direction in more areas. Water borehole Ibadan Project Phase 2 Our next step in providing water boreholes and public toilet facilities in Ibadan markets was extending the charity initiative to another four markets in the Ibadan region in December 2022. These are Ojoo Meat Market at Ojoo Lagos Park, Bodija Market at Iwo Park Garage, Agbowo Park/the University of Ibadan, and Apete Garage/Poly Ibadan student residential area. The provision of the water borehole and renovated public toilet facilities, implemented in partnership with Oyo State Gaming and Lottery Board, became a part of the broader 22Bet.ng’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative. We believe that 22Bet.ng can do much more than provide sports betting entertainment. For us, contributing to the local communities across Nigeria and doing our best to improve our ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) will soon affect many areas of our lives. You may already be experiencing AI’s effects, even if you don’t realize it, and whether you like it or not, AI is coming to online casinos, too. The gaming industry has been a strong proponent of AI and will continue encouraging it. Let’s dive into how artificial intelligence will improve your online casino gaming experience. How AI Enhances Online Casinos? AI has altered the dynamics of popular gambling games like blackjack and roulette. Players in the past had to pick the brains of more seasoned casino regulars and take on more skilled opponents. Modern gambling machines employ complex algorithms to calculate outcomes and tilt the odds in their favor. Many players believe that technology has taken advantage of their skills. AI has improved the online gambling security and user experience of online gaming. Operators and developers can use AI to serve their customers better. Data on new and returning visitors can be gathered for more precise advertising. It can also reveal the games that attract players and their betting methods. AI is Useful in Spotting Problem Gamblers We can use artificial intelligence to spot problem gamblers. AI will help online casinos to keep their clients from engaging in harmful gambling behaviors. With AI, Internet Casinos Can Finally Offer Fair Games A more level playing field can be achieved and sustained in online casinos with the help of AI. Artificial intelligence can track player actions and expose cheaters using modern tech. It can keep tabs on how much gambling is spent and suggest breaks when necessary. AI can ease communication with support staff if a player faces issues. Sports betting, health monitoring, and accessibility are potential applications for this innovation. The Role of AI in Betting 1) Enhanced Gameplay AI allows both the creation of new games and the improvement of old ones.

Bet here It has been a busy week off the field for Brazil, as the nation are growing close to appointing Carlo Ancelotti as their head coach. However, the attention turns back to the pitch on Tuesday, as the Brazilians take on Senegal in Portugal. Germany vs Colombia Prediction: International Friendly Match 20.06.2023 International Friendly Preview A huge international cycle for Brazil kicks off on Tuesday, as the national side take to the field for their final international fixture of the 2022-23 season. It looks set to be a massive 12-month period for the team, as they compete in the Copa America next summer, before all attention then switches to the upcoming World Cup across North and Central America. The Brazilian FA will be hopeful that Ancelotti’s appointment will be confirmed before the end of the summer, meaning that Ramon Menezes continues on an interim basis for this showdown against Senegal this week. Brazil produced one of their best displays since the World Cup in their previous match, as they landed a 4-1 win over Guinea. Debutant Joelinton was among the scorers in that success, while Real Madrid trio Rodrygo, Eder Militao, and Vinicius Jr also found the net. Bet here The pressure is always on Brazil when they take to the field, but the next 12 months is also a huge period for Senegal. The nation have already secured their spot in next year’s Africa Cup of Nations, and the previous champions will be among the leading contenders to win the prestigious honour once again. They come into this match having gone seven without defeat, which includes a draw in their previous outing against Benin. But, their record against nations inside the top ten of the FIFA Rankings would be a huge concern ahead of this friendly. Brazil vs Senegal Head to Head This is only the second international fixture between these two sides, with the previous encounter coming back in October 2019. The only previous clash between the sides ended in a 1-1 draw, with Roberto Firmino finding the net for Brazil. Brazil vs Senegal Prediction This should be an exciting international fixture in Portugal, but we find it challenging to overlook Brazil following their return to form. We expect to see a familiar performance on Tuesday, and we expect the Brazilians to put on a show for the fans in attendance with a 3-0 success. Make sure to bet on Brazil vs Senegal with 22Bet!
Bet here Germany continue their preparations for the European Championships on Tuesday evening, as they bid to end their winless sequence. Colombia will be the visitors to the Veltins Arena, as the South American nation also kicks up their preparations ahead of the Copa America. Brazil vs Senegal Prediction: International Friendly Match 20.06.2023 International Friendly Preview The pressure is already building on Hansi Flick ahead of the European Championships next summer, as big things will be expected from this Germany side at their home tournament. However, things aren’t exactly going to plan at this stage, as they have won just one of their four international matches this calendar year. The former Bayern Munich boss already has pressure on his shoulders after the Germans crashed out at the group stage for the second successive edition of the World Cup in late 2022. Germany come into this friendly against Colombia in Hamburg after losing their previous match against Poland. It wasn’t for the lack of trying in that contest, as Germany managed to register a total of 26 shots, including nine on target. However, they fell to defeat after Poland scored the winning goal with their only shot on target after 32 minutes. Bet here Colombia will also have questions to answer ahead of this international fixture, as they missed out on World Cup qualification last year. Their main focus will now be on the Copa America next summer, as they bid to get back on track after a shaky couple of years on the field. However, they come into this fixture in good recent form, as they have won each of their last two international matches. The most recent of those was a 1-0 home success against Iraq. While it wasn’t the most commanding of performances, they would have grew confidence from the fact that they were able to win ugly against a defensive rival. Germany vs Colombia Head to Head Germany are unbeaten in four international clashes against Colombia, and they have scored at least three goals in each of the last three. The most recent clash between the nations came in June 2006, with Germany landing a comprehensive 3-0 home win. Germany vs Colombia Prediction Germany’s performances in recent weeks have been concerning, especially with less than 12 months to go before the start of the EUROs. However, this is a good opportunity to get back into the win column against a nation that they have a good record against. We will be siding with a win for Germany. Make sure to bet on Germany vs Colombia with 22Bet!
Bet here Hungary have made a solid start to Group G in EURO qualification, and they will be aiming to move closer to the top of the standings on Tuesday. Lithuania will be the visitors, as they are still chasing a first victory in this qualification campaign. Bulgaria vs Serbia Prediction: UEFA Euro Qualifiers on 20.06.2023 EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview The race for the qualifying spots in Group G are heating up, with three sides in direct competition for two Group G spots. Hungary currently hold the advantage in the race for the second spot, as they are currently two points behind Serbia in the overall standings. They have won one of their opening two matches in Group G, and they have scored three goals. Their excellent defensive record could yet be a key factor in the race for qualification in the group. They are yet to concede a goal in two matches, and have also played a game less than the side below them in the standings. They come into this match after playing out a 0-0 draw in their previous match in Group G against Montenegro. Bet here Lithuania will be huge outsiders to finish in one of the top two qualifying spots in Group G, as they are yet to pick up a victory in two international matches in Group G. They have scored just one goal, and they have allowed three to this point. However, a victory could move them level on points with the sides sitting in second and third. They come into this fixture after a battling display against Bulgaria in their previous international. Lithuania was forced to play for over 60 minutes with ten men, but they broke the deadlock after 15 minutes. However, they were holding on to a point in the final 20 minutes. Hungary vs Lithuania Head to Head This will be the sixth international clash between these two sides. Hungary is unbeaten in previous encounters, having won on five previous occasions. That includes a 4-0 win in the most recent clash between the sides in June 2015. Hungary vs Lithuania Prediction This should be a straightforward fixture for Hungary in EURO qualification this week. They have started their campaign in excellent fashion, and they should have far too much quality in the final third for their rivals this week. Therefore, the preference is for the hosts to land a 3-0 home success. Make sure to bet on Hungary vs Lithuania with 22Bet!
Bet here Serbia have made a dream start to their qualification campaign, as they sit top of Group G after winning each of their two matches. They will be looking to land a third straight success when they collide with Bulgaria at Ludogorets Arena on Tuesday evening. Estonia vs Belgium Prediction: UEFA Euro Qualifiers on 20.06.2023 EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview It has been an excellent start to EURO qualifying for Serbia, as they are setting the pace in Group G. They currently sit two points clear of both Hungary and Montenegro, and they will be chasing a third straight victory to take a commanding hold on their place at next summer’s EUROs. Serbia has won each of their opening two matches this year, and has scored a total of four goals. Meanwhile, they are yet to concede across their opening two matches. They maintained that winning sequence in an international friendly on Friday, as they landed a 3-2 home win over Jordan. Dejan Joveljic was in excellent form in that match, as he scored twice inside the final ten minutes of the match. Bet here Bulgaria already have a mountain to climb if they are to secure qualification to the EUROs next summer. At present, they sit bottom of the Group G standings, as they have failed to win across their opening three matches. Over that period, they have scored just once, and they have allowed five goals. They would have been disappointed not to have claimed maximum points in their most recent international fixture, as they could only play out a 1-1 draw against Lithuania away from home. Their goal in that match was scored after 27 minutes by Martin Petkov. However, they registered 27 shots in that draw, meaning that they only had themselves to blame. Bulgaria vs Serbia Head to Head Serbia has an excellent record in this fixture, as they have landed wins in each of the two previous internationals that they have played. Their most recent win was secured in November 2010, as they landed a 1-0 victory on the road against Bulgaria. Bulgaria vs Serbia Prediction Serbia has an excellent record in this fixture, and that could be a key factor to consider for their showdown against Bulgaria on Tuesday. Therefore, we will be siding with a victory for the away side this week. We could also see Serbia maintaining their advantage of having kept clean sheets in their opening two matches. Make sure to bet on Bulgaria vs Serbia with 22Bet!
Bet here It has been a slow start to Group F for Belgium, as they sit second overall. They will be chasing a return to winning ways on Tuesday, as they lock horns with Estonia, who are yet to register a victory in two qualifying matches to this point. Bulgaria vs Serbia Prediction: UEFA Euro Qualifiers on 20.06.2023 EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview Belgium have made a slow start to Group F, as they are chasing Austria at the top of the standings. However, they could increase the pressure on the nation at the top of the standings with a big victory on Tuesday evening. Belgium have scored four goals across their opening two matches, and have allowed just once. There is still a long way to go in this group campaign, meaning that they will still be favourites to top Group F. However, they will need an improved performance in this match following a 1-1 draw against Austria in their previous outing. They scored a late equaliser in that match to rescue a point, with Romelu Lukaku finding the net with just under half an hour remaining. Bet here Estonia are huge outsiders to qualify for EURO 2024, as they already sit six points off the top of the standings after two rounds of matches. They are yet to register a victory in their previous outings in Group F, and they have scored just two goals and allowed three in response. They come into this match after playing out a 1-1 draw in their previous outing in Group F. Estonia opened the scoring in that clash after 27 minutes, but Azerbaijan were good value for a point, and their deserved leveller was netted after 62 minutes had been played. Estonia vs Belgium Head to Head Estonia has only recorded one previous win over Belgium in eight previous attempts. That success was recorded in October 2009. Since then, Belgium has won each of the previous four encounters, which includes a 3-1 success in November 2021. Estonia vs Belgium Prediction Belgium has struggled for form over recent months, but they look good value to bounce back to winning ways following their draw against Austria this week. Therefore, we will be siding with the away side picking up maximum points by at least a two-goal margin on Tuesday. Make sure to bet on Austria vs Sweden with 22Bet!
Bet here A fascinating Group F campaign continues on Tuesday, as Austria look to maintain their excellent start to qualification. They currently sit top of the standings, but they will come up against a stiff test when Sweden visit Ernst Happel Stadion this week. Moldova vs Poland Prediction: UEFA Euro Qualifiers on 20.06.2023 EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview It has been an excellent start to the qualification campaign for Austria, as they sit top of a competitive Group F. That has upset the odds, as Belgium would have been the clear favourites to run away with top spot. However, Austria has picked up two wins from their opening three matches, and have scored an impressive seven goals. They will need to sharpen up defensively, as they have already allowed three goals. Austria come into this fixture having played out a draw in their most recent international fixture, as they couldn’t hold on to a 1-0 advantage against Belgium over the weekend. However, a lot of positives would have been taken from their performance in that fixture, as they broke effectively on the counter-attack throughout the match. Bet here There will be pressure on Sweden for this fixture on Tuesday, as they currently sit third in the overall standings in Group F. They have won just one of their opening two matches, but they have played a game less than their rivals this week. A victory for Sweden could lift them up to second this week, but they will need to find more in the final third, having scored just three across their matches to this point. But, the Swedes will come into this fixture in good confidence, as they registered a classy 4-1 win over New Zealand in their previous international at Friends Arena. Anthony Elanga scored in that success, while Jesper Karlsson also found the back of the net on two occasions. Austria vs Sweden Head to Head Austria has landed 18 wins from 34 previous international matches against Sweden. The Swedes have landed eleven wins over the same period. The most recent international clash between these sides was won 2-0 by Austria in September 2018. That win means that they are now unbeaten in three against Sweden. Austria vs Sweden Prediction This looks set to be a fascinating battle between these two national sides, with pressure on both to claim maximum points. However, we find it challenging to overlook Austria, as we have been impressed in the manner in which they have started their Group F campaign. Make sure to bet on Austria vs Sweden with 22Bet!
Bet here Group E action takes center stage on Tuesday, as Poland will be looking to land a second win in three international qualifiers. Moldova will be the hosts for this match, as they look to register a first victory in Group E. Austria vs Sweden Prediction: UEFA Euro Qualifiers on 20.06.2023 EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview Poland will be one of the main contenders to achieve EURO qualification from Group E this year, but they find themselves in a testing position after two rounds of matches. They currently sit second overall, but they are only located in that spot courtesy of their superior goal difference. However, this looks a favorable game to get back in track in Group E, as a victory would put them within a point of Czech Republic. Poland have scored twice across their opening two matches in the group, and they have allowed three. However, they come into this fixture after a fine victory in their most recent international fixture. Last week, they recorded a fine 1-0 win over Germany in front of their home fans, with their only effort being registered by Jakub Kiwior. Bet here Moldova are one of two nations yet to register a victory in Group E. They have been held to two draws across their opening three matches, and they have suffered just a single defeat. They have scored just one goal in qualification to this point, and they have allowed a total of three efforts. Moldova comes into this match after losing 2-0 against Albania in their previous match. Both goals that they allowed were conceded in the second half. However, they offered very little in response in that fixture, as they mustered just 28% of the possession and registered just a single shot on target. Moldova vs Poland Head to Head Poland has an excellent record in this fixture, as they have won five of the previous six encounters between the sides. That includes a 1-0 win in World Cup qualification back in January 2014. The only positive result for Moldova in this fixture was a 1-1 draw in June 2013. Moldova vs Poland Prediction Poland has made a shaky start to this qualification group, but they look back on track following their recent win over Germany. Therefore, we will be siding with the visitors to close the gap on the top of the standings with maximum points in this Group E showdown on Tuesday. Make sure to bet on Moldova vs Poland with 22Bet!
Bet here A wide open qualifying campaign in Group E looks in order, and two of the sides currently outside of the qualification spots will lock horns on Tuesday. Albania will be looking for a second straight win when they travel to a winless Faroe Islands. Liechtenstein vs Slovakia Prediction: UEFA Euro Qualifiers on 20.06.2023 EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview It promises to be a tense battle for the qualification spots in Group E this year, as Albania face a four-way fight for the second spot in the standings. They have made a pleasing enough start to Group E, as they have won once in their opening two rounds of matches. However, they will need to claim maximum points this week against a lesser-ranked nation compared to the sides that they are directly up against in the race for a top two spot. Albania made a pleasing return to winning ways in their most recent international, as they recorded a 2-0 home win against Moldova. Both goals in that victory were netted in the second half, with Jasir Asani opening the scoring after 51 minutes. The second goal in the victory was added by Nedim Bejrami after 76 minutes. Bet here The Faroe Islands will be massive outsiders to reach the major competition next summer, and they currently sit bottom of the Group E standings after two rounds of matches. However, they could potentially move up to second in the standings if they are able to pick up maximum points on Tuesday. They have scored just one goal in their two matches to this point, and they have allowed four goals. The hosts come into this fixture after losing their previous match, as they were beaten 3-0 by the Czech Republic on Saturday. A response will be needed by the hosts this week. Faroe Islands vs Albania Head to Head This will be the first international clash between these two national sides. There will be two clashes between the sides this calendar year, with the return match between the sides taking place in November. Faroe Islands vs Albania Prediction This appears to be a slight mismatch based on the start to the qualification campaign that both sides have made. Therefore, we find it challenging to overlook the visitors when the sides clash on Tuesday. We expect Albania to pick up a 2-0 win to move to within touching distance of the top two places in Group E. Make sure to bet on Faroe Islands vs Albania with 22Bet!
Bet here There will be a huge opportunity for Slovakia to put down a marker in their race to finish second in Group J on Tuesday. They will visit Liechtenstein this week, as they look to maintain their unbeaten start to the qualification campaign. Meanwhile, the hosts will be looking to record a first victory at the fourth attempt. Faroe Islands vs Albania Prediction: UEFA Euro Qualifiers on 20.06.2023 EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview Slovakia will be looking to continue their strong start to Group J on Tuesday, as they could record a third win in four. A victory could also be enough for them to move to the top of the standings this week, as Portugal clash with Iceland. However, Slovakia’s primary aim will be to finish in one of the top two spots in the group standings. They come into this match after winning two of their previous three matches. They have scored four goals across the matches that they have played to this point, and have allowed just once. That record sees them have the second-best defensive record in the group. Slovakia come into this fixture after landing a 2-1 win on the road against Iceland in their previous match, with their winning goal being netted with just ten minutes remaining. Bet here It already appears incredibly unlikely that Liechtenstein will be reaching the EUROs next summer, as they sit bottom of the Group J standings after losing each of their opening three matches. They have allowed 13 goals across their opening outings, and they are yet to score a goal in Group J. They come into this fixture after suffering a 2-0 loss on the road in their most recent international fixture. In that match, they registered just one shot on target from their 27% of the possession. This looks like a taller order on Tuesday. Liechtenstein vs Slovakia Head to Head Slovakia has won seven of their previous nine international matches against Liechtenstein. However, the previous encounter between the sides in June 2013 saw the points shared following a 1-1 draw in World Cup qualification. However, Liechtenstein have never previously recorded a win against Slovakia. Liechtenstein vs Slovakia Prediction Slovakia have started the qualification campaign in excellent fashion, and this looks like an excellent opportunity for them to secure their spot in second in the Group J standings. We struggle to overlook the visitors, and we expect them to land victory by a wide margin. Make sure to bet on Liechtenstein vs Slovakia with 22Bet!
Bet here Portugal will be looking to continue their winning sequence under Roberto Martinez at the start of EURO qualification, as they chase a fourth straight win. A success could open up a five-point advantage at the top of the Group J standings. Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Luxembourg Prediction: UEFA Euro Qualifiers on 20.06.2023 EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview It has been a successful start to life as Portugal boss for Roberto Martinez, as the nation sits top of their Group J standings after three rounds of matches. They have landed three straight victories, and have scored 13 unanswered goals. Portugal could open up a five-point advantage at the top of the standings, while they could be only a few more victories from securing their spot at the major tournament next summer. Their excellent start to their Group J continued on Saturday, as they landed a straightforward 3-0 win over Bosnia. Bruno Fernandes was in excellent form throughout that match, as the Manchester United star netted twice in the final 13 minutes. Bernardo Silva also found the net in the success. Bet here Iceland will have pressure on their shoulders if they are to reach the EUROs for the third straight edition. They currently sit fifth in the overall standings, as they have won just one of their opening three matches. However, a victory on Tuesday would see them close to within a point of the two qualification spots in Group J. Despite their position in the standings, they have already scored eight goals in three matches. However, they have also allowed five goals. Iceland will be looking for a response this week, as they were beaten in their previous match by Slovakia. The visitors landed maximum points after netting their winning goal with just 20 minutes of the 90 remaining. Iceland vs Portugal Head to Head This is the fourth clash between these two national sides. The most recent meeting came at the 2016 EUROs, with the points being shared following a 1-1 draw. However, Portugal are unbeaten in all three previous international clashes between the sides. Iceland vs Portugal Prediction Portugal have started the qualification campaign in excellent form, and they look good value to maintain their winning sequence this week. We find it challenging to overlook the visitors, and we could see the Portuguese securing a comfortable 3-0 win on the road, with Fernandes once again finding the net for his national side. Make sure to bet on Iceland vs Portugal with 22Bet!
Bet here Two nations with wins already on the board will clash in the fourth round of matches in Group J on Tuesday. Bosnia currently sits fourth in the standings, while Luxembourg could move level on points with Slovakia if they are able to pick up maximum points on the road this week. Iceland vs Portugal Prediction: UEFA Euro Qualifiers on 20.06.2023 EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview Neither Bosnia or Luxembourg have managed to qualify for a major tournament in recent history, meaning that a lot of positives would have been taken from their excellent starts to the Group J campaign. Luxembourg should come into this fixture in better confidence, as they could move level on points with second-placed Slovakia with a victory on Tuesday evening. They come into this match after winning one of their three matches to this point. However, they certainly appear to have limitations when it comes to scoring goals, as they have found the back of the net on just two occasions to this point. Meanwhile, they have allowed a total of six goals. But, they were excellent 2-0 winners in their most recent qualifier against Liechtenstein. Bet here Bosnia could move above their rivals in the standings this week, as they currently sit just one point behind Luxembourg in the standings. They began their Group J campaign with two defeats, and they come into this fixture after losing against Portugal. A victory could also put them to within one point of second-place Slovakia. Bosnia were outclassed in their most recent qualifier, as they had no answer to a classy Portugal display. They registered just 37% of the possession in that fixture, and managed to land just three shots on target. However, this looks like a more winnable game on paper after that tough assignment. Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Luxembourg Head to Head Bosnia has an excellent record in this fixture, as they have won each of their last seven matches against Luxembourg. Meanwhile, the visitors have scored just one goal in those previous fixtures. The most recent clash between the sides came in March 2022, with Bosnia landing a 1-0 home win. Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Luxembourg Prediction Both of these sides will be hopeful of landing maximum points on Tuesday. However, Bosnia’s excellent record in this fixture is extremely challenging to overlook. Therefore, the preference is for a home win this week in Group J. Make sure to bet on Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Luxembourg with 22Bet!
Bet here There could be a huge shock in Group A of EURO qualification, as the top two spots are currently occupied by Scotland and Georgia. Both nations will still face an uphill challenge to secure their place in the major tournament in Germany next summer, as Spain will likely step up their performance levels when they return to action. Norway vs Cyprus Prediction: UEFA Euro Qualifiers on 20.06.2023 EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview Scotland has been one of the standout nations in EURO qualification to this point, as they have made a lightening fast start to Group A. At present, they sit top of the group standings after winning all three matches that they have played. In fact, they could break their record for their best start to a qualification campaign with victory over Georgia on Tuesday. The Scots have been excellent at both ends of the field to this point, as they have scored seven goals and allowed just one. Their winning run continued on Saturday, as they came back from a goal down to secure a dramatic 2-1 win over Norway. Both of their goals were netted in the final three minutes, with the winner being scored by Kenny McLean. Bet here Credit must also be given to Georgia, who have made a stunning start to their qualification campaign. They currently sit second in the overall standings, and they could open up a four point advantage over third-placed Spain with a victory at Hampden Park on Tuesday. Georgia recorded a first victory in the qualification campaign over the weekend, as they struck with just six minutes remaining to land a 2-1 away win against Cyprus. Their winning effort was netted with little time remaining on the clock by Zuriko Davitashvilli. Scotland vs Georgia Head to Head This will be the fifth time that Scotland and Georgia have locked horns, with each of the previous four being won by the side playing at home. Georgia landed a 1-0 win in the most recent fixture between the sides in September 2015, while Scotland beat Georgia 1-0 in October 2014 at Hampden Park. Scotland vs Georgia Prediction Scotland has made an electric start to EURO qualification, and we would be extremely surprised if they aren’t able to pick up maximum points when they come up against Georgia on Tuesday. Therefore, we will be siding with a 2-0 win for the hosts at Hampden Park. Make sure to bet on Scotland vs Georgia with 22Bet!
Bet here The battle for vital points in the race to achieve European Championship qualification continues on Tuesday, as two of the bottom placed sides in Group A lock horns. Erling Haaland’s Norway will need to register a first win in the group stage to put pressure on the top two against Cyprus. Scotland vs Georgia Prediction: UEFA Euro Qualifiers on 20.06.2023 EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview It has been a disappointing start to EURO qualification for Norway, as they already sit three points off the top two places. Meanwhile, they are eight points adrift of the team currently sitting top of the Group A standings. Norway has lost two of their opening three matches in the group, with their only point being picked up following a draw against Georgia. A response will be needed from Norway on Tuesday as they were beaten 2-1 at home by Scotland over the weekend. Norway appeared to be heading toward maximum points in that match following Erling Haaland’s opener, before the Scots stunned their hosts with two goals in the space of three minutes at the end of the match. Haaland could be key to his nation’s chances once again on Tuesday. Bet here Cyprus already appear to be the massive outsiders in the race for qualification this year, as they sit bottom of the standings. However, they have played a game fewer than their rivals this week, and could move up to fourth if they are able to get a famous victory on the road. They come into this match after losing each of their opening two matches in Group A, with the most recent of those coming at home over the weekend. That loss was suffered against Georgia, and means that Cyprus have now gone four international matches without a victory. Norway vs Cyprus Head to Head Norway has a dominant record in this fixture, as they have won all of their previous eleven encounters against Cyprus. Interestingly, each of the last three have come by a 2-0 scoreline. The most recent of those was a 2-0 success in November 2018 in a Nations League fixture in the road. Norway vs Cyprus Prediction Norway have flattered to deceive in the opening rounds of matches in qualification, and that needs to change if they are to finish in one of the top two qualifying spots. This looks like a good opportunity to get off the mark, and we would be surprised if they aren’t able to claim maximum points at home. Make sure to bet on Norway vs Cyprus with 22Bet!

Bet here Bet here As the UEFA Euro U-21 Championship kicks off in earnest, Belgium will go one-on-one against the Netherlands on Wednesday at 16:00 GMT. Georgia U21 vs Portugal U21 Prediction: Under-21 Championship Match on 21.06.2023 Key Highlights Belgium will require significant tactical dynamism to take on a very talented Netherlands side. The focus will be on realizing a dynamic balance between attack and defense ahead of the match on Wednesday. However, Belgium will also need to demonstrate their attacking intent in the match, especially since Group A also comprises great teams like Portugal and Georgia. Netherlands will need to come out swinging in this competition, especially given the difficulty of Group A.

Bet here Bet here It’s the final round of games from the 2023 UEFA Nations League, and we have a mouth-watering Sunday ahead. There won’t be too much football to speak of in the coming weeks as players and coaches enjoy a well-earned break before the Champions League qualifiers start later this summer. The action begins at 14:00 GMT with the third-place playoff between the Netherlands and Italy. These are two huge names in international football and teams you’d expect to be winning this trophy, but the Dutch and Italians came up short, much to the dismay of their fans. Croatia and Spain play in the final from 19:45, and with both games scheduled to be shown live on television, an action-packed day awaits. Read our preview and predictions to ensure you’re ready to get involved. Croatia v Spain Prediction: Nations League Final on 18.06.2023 In this article, we focus on the third-place game, with the final also covered on our site. The stats show the Netherlands and Italy have met 23 times in the past, with the Italians dominating on ten wins against the three of the Netherlands andten0 draws. The most recent game was played in the 2020 Nations League when Pellegrini and van de Beek goals ensured a 1-1 draw. There will be no sharing on Sunday as the bronze medal position must be confirmed, with extra time and penalties available. Netherlands suffers shock defeat The Netherlands is a team fast approaching its best form again, and fans hope that’s an indication that the glory days will return. A few near-misses have sparked optimism in the stand, with 2023 expected to be the year Oranje moved from contenders to champions. They planned for a successful campaign ahead of next year’s European Championships in Germany, where they’ll likely start as one of the favourites. But there’s much work to be done before booking flights. Winning the Nations League would’ve been the perfect way to sign off for the season, but the Dutch defeated Croatia in the semi-finals. That game ended in a 4-2 win for an ambitious Croatian side that will now face Spain in the final. Goals from Malen and Lang matched Kramric and Pasalic strikes as the game ended locked at 2-2. Croatia scored two goals in extra time to win the game and progress. It was a dramatic evening that ended with Holland out of the final. What can we expect to see from the Dutch in this game? They have been improving lately, and fans will be confident of making it to Germany next season, but how much motivation will the players have for this third-place playoff? The danger is that many starters will already be on their summer holidays, at least mentally, which could force the backroom staff to shake things up with a few changes to the team that started against Croatia. Italy edged out by Spain Italy also started their semi-final against Spain, confident they’d make it through to the next round but fell at the final hurdle. The Italians missed the World Cup in Qatar late last year but are the European Champions, beating England on penalties in 2021. Defending their trophy in Germany next season will be high on their list of priorities. They have some crucial games on the horizon if they’re to make it that far, but the third-place Nations League playoff isn’t crucial to achieving that goal. It has been an emotional rollercoaster for lovers of the game in Italy, with Serie A teams making it to major European finals and the national team pushing for greatness in the various tournaments. The Spanish won’t down tools and simply roll over for their opponents to get a win, but it may be a case of them having bigger fish to fry. Like the Dutch, expect Italy to make changes to the team that lost to Spain in the last four. That was as good a Nations League semi-final as you’re likely to see, with Spain winning 2-1. The other game was decided in extra time after 120 minutes of play, but Red Fury needed just 90 to go through. That game finished in a 2-1 win for Spain with goals from Pino and Joselu ...
Bet here Bet here It’s come down to this as Croatia and Spain clash in Sunday’s final from 19:45 GMT. The victor will be crowned the 2023 UEFA Nations League champion, sending fans off into pre-season in high spirits. But a winner’s medal will also give Croatia or Spain a timely confidence boost ahead of the European qualifiers later this year and Germany 2024 next summer. Which team will get the desired result and write their name in the history book? There’s no way to know at this stage, but our team of content writers and football lovers aims to help with this in-depth preview. Readers will find the most critical trends, stats, and form ahead of this showpiece event, as those numbers often help make strong predictions. Spain is the pre-match favourites with the most respected pundits and traders, but Croatia was excellent in the semi-finals when scoring an extra-time win over Italy. They’ll aim for more goals and cheers in this decider. Netherlands v Italy Prediction: Nations League Match on 18.06.2023 Sunday heralds the tenth meeting of Croatia and Spain, and the head-to-head stats make for interesting and insightful reading. There are no shocks in the overall scores, with the Italians already on five wins ahead of their opponent’s score of three and a draw. The last game was in Euro 2020 – played 12 months later due to the pandemic, remember – which produced no fewer than eight goals. Spain won that game 5-3, but with the last three meetings producing an average of 6.33 goals per game, we have high hopes for another goal-fest. Croatia out-lasted Italy Croatia is a team improving at an impressive speed, climbing the rankings and mixing it with the elite. They have always had a team capable of holding their own but seem to have had their fill of being unlucky losers. Croatia has done the groundwork, the heavy lifting, and took the knocks. Now fans believe it’s their time to shine. Croatia must emerge from the shadows and lift the UEFA Nations League. If they do, it could kickstart an incredible journey for the team currently ranked seventh in the world, having climbed to third in 1999 after sinking to a record-low 125th just five years earlier. Croatia was drawn in their semi-final against Italy midweek and caused a storm by eliminating the current European champions. The Italians continue to blow hot and cold, winning in England to regain the prize before failing to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. They are a team capable of winning major trophies but were out-worked, out-fought, and out-thought on Wednesday evening. Croatia won that game 4-2 but needed extra time to get across the line. The Croatia v Italy match ended 2-2 after 90 minutes following goals from Kramaric and Pasalic, both coming in the second half. Petkovic added a third with 98 minutes played before Modric helped settle things with a finely dispatched penalty to close the show. Italy was competitive for 90 minutes but lacked the fitness and concentration of their opponents to win under pressure. That was a real test of character for this Croatian squad, and they passed with flying colours. Spain ruined Italy’s plans Spain and Italy was a semi-final on Thursday that lived up to the pre-match hype and wouldn’t have looked out of place as a decider on Sunday. Two decorated teams with experience in winning major trophies, it would always be a competitive contest, and that’s exactly what followers enjoyed. Three goals, including a late winner, were enough to send Spain through, leaving the Italians to pick over the bones before fighting for an uninspiring but useful third-place finish. The match caught fire early when Pino scored inside the opening three minutes of play, but Italy are no pushovers, and it didn’t come as a shock to see them get back on level terms quickly. Immobile rifled home a penalty to bring the teams to 1-1 and deserves credit for holding his nerve and getting the goal. If Italy had missed their penalty in that period of play, it looke...

These celebrities like making little wagers at the world’s most prestigious casinos for fun. They have a great time playing these games in casinos.

Gambling Fans Among Celebrities Here are a few famous faces sighted at Las Vegas and other prominent casinos. Matt Damon Matt Damon, the actor and known high roller, is first on our list of celebrity gamblers. Matt Damon is an accomplished actor and a skilled poker and blackjack player. After playing the excellent poker player and law student Mike McDermott in the 1998 hit, Rounders, the five-time Oscar contender and winner had a newfound appreciation for gambling. Damon sought the advice of Johnny Chan, one of the top poker players in the world, to prepare for his role. Damon owes him a debt of gratitude for teaching him how to play the game, which he now enjoys regularly at various online casinos. After filming had concluded, the famous Hollywood actor still frequented casinos to play blackjack and poker. Even though he doesn’t get to visit them nearly as often as he’d like, Damon is frequently spotted at some of the world’s finest casinos. What he is doing with his money is a mystery. Damon is an avid gambler who has taken part in several tournaments. He prefers the bigger payouts at the more prestigious casinos. Ray Romano The sitcom “Everybody Loves Raymond” catapulted the actor to fame. In it, he and his family demonstrated the joys and frustrations of suburban life for the middle class in America. Raymond’s impact on Romano’s popularity and wealth was unprecedented. The actor became famous after being cast in a pivotal part in a groundbreaking TV series. The fact that Raymond was almost as well-known as Friends helped Romano immensely. However, not many people know that Ray Romano nearly went bankrupt due to his gambling addiction after the show ended. Ray’s TV sitcom “Men of a Certain Age” (2009-present) is about three middle-aged guys who stayed close after their college reunion, and he plays the lead role of Joe Tranelli, a middle-aged man with a gambling addiction. Joe was based on Ray Romano, but only a few people realised it. In the years following the cancellation of his show in 2011, Ray came clean about his true identity as Joe and his participation in Gamblers Anonymous. The actor no longer visits land-based casinos or sportsbooks in favour of playing exclusively online. Romano does participate in the World Series of Poker, despite his realistic assessment that he has little chance of winning. Tiger Woods Tiger became interested in gambling after meeting other “high rollers,” including Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. The closer Woods became to Barkley and Jordan, the more he gambled. The golfer, though, had some suggestions for improving the gaming experience. Woods can now bet up to $25,000 every hand at any of the casinos in Las Vegas, and it is common knowledge that he has a $1 million limit everywhere. However, his favourite casino is the Mansion at the MGM Grand. When gambling, Woods allegedly requests a unique table surrounded by party ladies. The party girls are to blame for his divorce, which leaves his ex-wife with a sizeable chunk of his wealth. According to several reports, the divorce settlement was worth $750 million. Leonardo DiCaprio Leonardo DiCaprio is known to be a quiet A-lister, but his love of gambling has been made public thanks to games in which other famous people have participated. He is one of the biggest celebrity ...

However, the problem for Remo is that they have conceded five goals as well, which underscores why all three of their matches have ended up in share points, thus undermining their ability to challenge at the top. In the opening match against Enyimba, they grabbed a dramatic equalizer in the 93rd minute to gain a point. However, the roles were reversed against Rivers when they conceded an even later equalizer to drop two points. In their match against Sunshine Stars on Wednesday, Remo took the lead in the 12th minute before conceding an equalizer in the 46th minute, thus dropping two points from a winning position again. Ahead of their clash against Bendel, Remo need to fix their defensive solidity. A solid defense will offer the attackers the platform they need to win the game against Bendel. Bendel Need to Bolster their Attacking Threat After three matches for Bendel in the championship round, the record reads three draws. The three points they have collected mean that Bendel are fourth on the table, two points off leaders Enyimba. Their opening match against Lobi Stars ended in a 0-0 draw, which highlighted their solidity while exposing their offensive weaknesses. These problems were also displayed in the 1-1 draw against Sunshine Stars and the latest match that ended in a 1-q draw against Enyimba. The three results highlight Bendel’s defensive solidity and dynamism that has kept the goals conceded to just two in three matches. However, the attack has also scored just two goals. Therefore, Bendel need to bolster their attacking threat to stand a chance of winning something against Remo Stars on Sunday.

Rivers United will host Bendel in their third championship round match on Friday at 13:00 GMT.

Tuesday’s programme sees Portugal and Switzerland face off after Morocco meets Spain in what’s sure to be a thriller. Will the Spanish do as expected and join the competition’s biggest teams in the last eight? They are favourites to do so, with many respected pundits expecting a clear win for the former champions. But Morocco can’t be ignored, and Qatar has already taught us to expect the unexpected in this winter World Cup.The stats show Morocco and Spain have played only once before, with that game played back in June 2018. That match produced four goals, ending in a 2-2 draw at the World Cup. Spain took the lead that day with Isco finding the net inside 20 minutes but needed a late leveller from Iago Aspas with 90 minutes on the clock to finish level. The teams were forced to share that day, but this match will be played to a conclusion with the availability of extra time and penalties. But which side will progress to the next round, and how will they achieve the result? Our team of experts preview.Morocco has impressed followers in Qatar with their efforts in this competition. They weren’t seen as one of the potential winners before play began last month but were unbeaten in their group stages and have now won the respect of critics. They came through a strong Group F ahead of Croatia in second, with Belgium ending in third, joining Canada on a jet out of the country. Losing Belgium was a major surprise, and it will have lasting effects on the team, but Morocco’s form meant they deserved to go through as winners of the pool.Their World Cup stats heading into this match show they started with a draw in their opening group game, ending level with Croatia, and that was the launchpad they needed. Morocco then went on to beat Belgium in what ranks as one of the biggest shocks in a competition that has produced more than a few. Needing to win game three to go through, Morocco had no trouble stepping up to secure the points needed to keep their journey alive. Their group stats of two wins and a draw from three games earned Morocco seven points, two more than Croatia and three better than Belgium.We last saw the African side in action on the opening day of the month when beating Canada 2-1 to send their opponents home. The fate of the Canadians had already been secured, and they knew going through wasn’t an option. But they turned up and made the favourites work hard for the result. In three games, Canada remains the only team to have scored against Morocco, with both Belgium and Croatia drawing a blank. That’s something the Spanish attack will be mindful of ahead of Tuesday’s game.As you can expect, Spain is one of the biggest names in Qatar and is viewed as a potential champion if they can continue their form in this competition. The Spanish were added to Group E, where they finished as runners-up behind Japan following a mixed bag of results in their three pool matches. Spain won its opening match against Costa Rica – as they were expected to do – but was held to a draw with Germany on matchday two. They then lost to Japan in their final match, but the four points gained were enough to finish in the silver medal position.Spain was expected to beat Japan, and most pundits had them picked to do just that, but the Blue Samurai has been bold. They have come to the Arab World determined to compete and have already shown us they are capable of holding their own. Spain ...
England has done everything expected of them in this World Cup campaign so far, easing through qualifying as pool winners and then making light work of Group B. It hasn’t always been pretty, and 2022 hasn’t been the smoothest ride, but they are here and in a great position to keep the dream alive. Followers of the Three Lions have never been the most patient of fans, with many expecting their side to win every World Cup and European Championship entered since 1966.The reality is England is stuck in the midst of a painful drought going back more than 56 years. Will that run without glory on the global stage come to an end in the Arab World and its winter World Cup? It would be the unlikeliest of wins for the team as fans cheer them on between Christmas shopping, gathered at indoor fan parks trading cold lager for warm drinks. But that remains a strong possibility with Gareth Southgate’s team improving with the passing of each game. They’ll certainly take some stopping.They have barely put a foot wrong in Qatar, but tensions rise as we enter the knockout stages. Fans sing football’s coming home from the UK, but to have any chance of winning a World Cup for Christmas, they must defeat Senegal on Sunday. The Africans are a flamboyant side full of colour, running, and ambition. But do they have what it takes to eliminate the Three Lions? That remains to be seen, but in this article, we investigate. Read on as we break the match down, using the stats and trends to help you make a strong prediction based on facts.Following a World Cup qualifying campaign that passed without incident, England began its quest to win the trophy with a stunning 6-2 win over Iran on matchday one. It seems like a long time ago now, but the opening match in Group B was a thriller. The game had everything, including eight goals and a stand-in Iranian goalkeeper that looked every bit as nervous as the man he replaced in the opening few minutes of play. They took their time to get started that day, but once they had the lead, England oozed confidence.More of the same was expected against the USA, with their opponents expected to simply make up the numbers in Qatar. The USA is one of the few countries here where football isn’t the nation’s top sport. It’s not even in the top three. That’s only part of the reason why they were written off before the start, but the USA proved a tough nut to crack. With two teams showing a strong defence and still lacking composure in attack, the match ended goalless. It wasn’t the result England fans wanted to see, but it was a fair return.With the team top of the pool heading into game three, they faced a Welsh side that was fighting for its survival in Qatar. The winner of that match would go through to the next round, while the losers would go home. England started as the red-hot favourites to get the desired result, and they did just that, beating their neighbours in style. That match ended 3-0 in England’s favour as Wales ducked out without winning a match or putting up too much of a fight. Rashford scored a double in that game but didn’t get off the mark until the second half. Southgate came in for criticism for not using Foden to help break down the USA, and the Man City star netted his first goal of the competition seconds after England had taken the lead.Senegal is another team that caught the eye during qualifying, and they have more than held their own in the competition proper. They weren’t one of the early fancies to lift the trophy, with experts placing them behind the top teams like Brazil, France, and England. Results don’t lie, and Senegal is here on merit. They worked their way through a competitive group, finishing as runners-up behind the Netherlands in pool A.The Dutch were convincing winners but didn’t have it all their own way after beating Senegal on matchday one. The Africans took that early loss on the chin and didn’t let it throw them off their stride. Senegal finished with stats of two wins a...
The Round of 16 has arrived, and we’re playing knockout football between now and the final of Sunday 18th December. The format of the competition changes, and things will get interesting. More interesting than we’ve seen already in Qatar. Draws are no longer possible as extra time and penalties come in to ensure every fixture produces a winner that will progress to the next stage and a loser heading home. But which side will make it through when the Netherlands takes on the USA from 15:00 GMT on Saturday? We can’t wait to find out.Both teams involved in this Round of 16 match are here on merit, but fans and pundits generally accept that it would be a huge shock to see either win World Cup 2022. But we never know. If the group stages from the World Cup’s first visit to the Arab World have taught us anything, this tournament is unpredictable. Who predicted Japan would win a group that included Spain and Germany? Who picked Saudi Arabia to beat Argentina? And how many bets were wiped out on Germany winning the World Cup after three matches?The Netherlands and the USA are no familiar foes on the international football scene, the history books showing the sides have met only five times previously. There are no surprises to be found in the head-to-head stats other than the USA winning one game, with their opponents taking the other four. The most recent clash was played in 2015 and produced a seven-goal thriller. We wouldn’t mind some more of that to spark the weekend to life.Will the Netherlands finally live up to the high expectations of their fans and win the World Cup? The football-mad nation is desperate to finally get its hands on the sport’s biggest prize after coming so close in the past. Holland has never won the trophy, but it has come painfully close in the past, ending as runners-up in 1974, 1978, and 2010. The Orange lived off its success in the 1970s for a generation, but a new breed of football fan isn’t quite sure what all the hype is about here. It has been more than a dozen years since they last contested a final, which will be the driving force behind everything they do in Qatar.Holland progressed from Group A without too much fuss, finishing ahead of runners-up Senegal, with Ecuador unlucky in third place before the host nation stumbled home in fourth. Qatar may have invited the world for a party and marvel at its infrastructure, stadiums, travel, and stunning skyscrapers, but it’ll be a while before we see them as a power in this sport. They finished bottom following three defeats, scoring one goal and conceding seven. Comparing that to the pool victors with their two wins and a draw, scoring five and conceding just one.The Netherlands opened its account in the group with a victory over Senegal. Better was expected of them when drawing with Ecuador on matchday two, but the second win in three pushed them through to the next stage. There’s no doubt that this Dutch side is talented, and if they play anywhere near their best, they will brush past the inexperienced USA. A sturdy defence has taken them this far, and coach Louis van Gaal will ask for more of the same from his men.Team USA is here to competeIt has been obvious for a while now that the USA is no longer the soft touch in international football that it once was. The women’s game has given fans a taste of success, showing what is possible in the beautiful game. You won’t see them take too many more drubbings, and the stars and stripes show they are in Qatar to compete. They proved it by getting through a competitive group and will enter this match full of confidence.Team USA finished as runners-up behind England in Group B but was pushed all the way. The players showed character to bounce back from dropping two points in their opening match to end as best of the rest behind the Three Lions. They took two points from their opening two games, drawing 1-1 with Wales after Gareth Bale scored a late equaliser. It was time to play England, and despite...
The round of 16 in the World Cup gets underway on Saturday, and the big game on the opening day of knockout action will see Argentina look to continue their winning streak against Australia. The Socceroos completed an unlikely escape from Group D, but can they go one step further this weekend?It has been a World Cup full of shocks already, but Australia reaching this stage of the competition for just the second time in their history is one of the biggest. Australia were written off by many before the start of the competition, as they endured one of their worst qualification campaigns in recent memory and needed a penalty shootout to come through a playoff.However, since the start of the tournament, they have performed excellently. They put up a stern fight against France in their opening game, but have won back-to-back matches since. The latest of those was a fine 1-0 success against Denmark, who last year reached the semi-finals at the EUROs. However, this is the biggest test that they have faced at the World Cup since reaching this stage in 2006.Argentina eventually managed to sail through Group C reasonably comfortably, as they booked their spot in the round of 16 as group winners. However, they have certainly upped their game since a 2-1 defeat against Saudi Arabia in their opening fixture, and have looked far more assured in back-to-back wins against Poland and Mexico.Their latest win was a fine 2-0 success against Poland, with Alexis Mac Allister and Julian Alvarez scoring the goals in the win. Argentina were knocked out at this stage four years ago, but they haven’t failed to reach the quarterfinals in consecutive appearances since the round of 16 was introduced in 1986.Australia has recorded just one win in seven previous meetings against Argentina. That success came in the Australia Bicentenary Gold Cup back in 1988. Argentina has won five of the previous seven meetings, including a 1-0 success in the last meeting in 2007.Australia has performed excellently to reach this stage of the competition, but there is a sense that their journey is likely to come to an end here. Argentina has an excellent record against the Aussies, and they look to be back on track after a nervy start to the World Cup.Make sure to bet on Argentina vs Australia with 22Bet!
France continue their World Cup campaign at the round of 16 stage on Sunday, as they clash with Poland. It will be a historic moment for Poland, as they will be competing in the knockout stage at the World Cup for the first time since 1986.There will be an all-European clash in the round of 16 on Sunday, as France lock horns with Poland at Al Thumama Stadium. France may have been beaten in their final group stage game against Tunisia, but they will recall all their star players for this knockout stage fixture. In qualifying for the round of 16, France became the first reigning World Cup champions to reach the knockout stage since Brazil in 2006.The French were dominant in their opening two matches in Group D, as they ensured that the hard work was done in their first fixtures. Kylian Mbappe was in stunning form in both fixtures, scoring on three occasions. The win that ultimately secured their passage through to the next round was a 2-1 success against Denmark last weekend.Poland will be competing in the knockout stage at the World Cup for the first time since 1986. However, it’s likely that they used up all their luck to reach this stage, as they only managed to qualify courtesy of having a single goal better goal difference than Mexico. The Poles would have had few complaints if they had crashed out in the group stage, as they were exceptionally poor against Argentina.In a game where Poland could have topped the group with a point, they were passive throughout and failed to manage even a single shot on target. There was no urgency from the nation after going 1-0 down, and they were always reliant on Mexico not getting the win by the required margin.Poland won the only previous meeting between the two nations at the World Cup in 1982. However, France is unbeaten in seven previous meetings against Poland in all competitions, recording three wins during that period.Poland will need to be much better than they were against Argentina if they are to stand any chance of progression. However, we struggle to see past the French, who have won all five matches that they have played in the round of 16 at the World Cup.Make sure to bet on France vs Poland with 22Bet!
One of the stories of the 2022 World Cup has been the fine performances from Japan, and they will be looking to continue their fairytale run in the competition this year in the round of 16. However, they will come up against Croatia, who were the runners-up in Russia four years ago.In truth, few would have had Japan and Croatia meeting before the start of the tournament in their World Cup brackets, but a place in the last eight of the competition will be on the line when the nations meet on Monday. Japan has been excellent throughout the competition, and a place in the round of 16 is the very least that they deserved.Many believed that their chance of progression was gone following a 1-0 defeat against Costa Rica on matchday two, but they once again showed their excellent pedigree against Europe’s elite against Spain. Despite going 1-0 down, Japan never looked to change the way that they were playing, and they were a constant threat on the counter attack. Ritsu Doan scored an excellent equaliser, but there was more than a glimmer of controversy surrounding their winner, as the ball looked out of play before being guided back to Ao Tanaka to score the winner.Croatia finished second in Group F to set up this tie, as they have claimed just one win from three games at the World Cup this year. Their excellent showing against Canada on matchday two ensured that they had a huge goal difference to rely on, and they were only too happy to play out a 0-0 draw against Belgium in their final fixture.This is only the third time in their history that they have progressed past the group stage, but they have made the semi-finals on both previous occasions. The most recent of those showings came four years ago, as they were beaten by France in the final.This will be the fourth meeting between Croatia and Japan. Both nations have picked up one win apiece, while the most recent meeting ended in a 0-0 draw. That previous meeting came at the 2006 World Cup.There may not be many shocks in the round of 16, but we could see this match being the one that does produce an unlikely result. Japan has all the tools to hurt this aging Croatian side, and we could see their fairytale run in Qatar carrying on for at least one more round.Make sure to bet on Japan vs Croatia with 22Bet!
Portugal’s progression from Group H has already been assured, but they will be looking to wrap up top spot in their final group game against South Korea on Friday. The Asian nation can still qualify for the round of 16, but they will need a victory against the European nation. Portugal has been one of the standout nations at the World Cup this winter, and they will be looking to maintain their strong run of form in their final group stage fixture. They have won both of their group stage games, and are only the third team to boast a 100% record in Qatar, alongside Brazil and France. Portugal saw off their biggest test of Group H in their second fixture, as they recorded a 2-0 win against Uruguay. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo claiming the first goal, it has gone down as a Bruno Fernandes effort. The Manchester United star added a second in injury time, as he netted from the penalty spot against a leggy Uruguayan defence. The balance in this Portugal side looks very exciting at present, and they will be looking to wrap up top spot to avoid a showdown with Brazil. South Korea come into this final fixture knowing that only a win will do. The Asian nation gave it everything in their previous fixture, as they registered over 20 shots against Ghana. However, they weren’t able to claim a point that they needed to keep their fate in their own hands, as they suffered a 3-2 loss. But, there remains a lot of quality in this South Korean side, and Portugal will be aware of the risk posed by players such as Heung Min-Sin and Cho Gue-Sung. However, South Korea is unlikely to get as many chances as they did in that Ghana match, which means that they will need to take any opportunity that they are able to create. The only previous meeting between the nations came at the 2002 World Cup, with South Korea winning 1-0 on home soil. However, that remains Portugal’s only defeat against Asian opposition in five previous meetings. South Korea certainly look to have an issue creating chances against the very best nations, and that is troubling coming into this fixture. Therefore, we expect this impressive Portuguese side to maintain their fine run of form with a comfortable 2-0 win. Make sure to bet on South Korea vs Portugal with 22Bet!
Group H is finely poised coming into the final round of fixtures, and the big match in the group will be a fierce rematch of the contentious quarterfinal at the 2010 World Cup. Ghana will be looking for revenge against Uruguay, as they were denied a place in the semi-final by Luis Suarez’s hand. There will be flashbacks to the 2010 World Cup in Johannesburg on Friday, as Uruguay and Ghana once again clash with massive stakes on the line. The nations famously met in the quarterfinals at the tournament, as Ghana looked to become the first African nation to reach the semi-finals. However, they were denied that goal after Luis Suarez handled the ball on the goalline after Asamoah Gyan headed towards goal. It is something that Ghana fans haven’t forgot about, and revenge this Friday will book their spot in the round of 16 in Qatar. In truth, Ghana have been one of the nations that I have most enjoyed watching at the World Cup this year, as they attack with great freedom, and defend as one. All of their traits were evident in their previous match, as they managed to hold on to a 3-2 win against South Korea. Mohammed Kudus was the star of the show, as the winger scored twice. A draw is likely to be enough for Ghana to progress on Friday Uruguay have a pretty big challenge on their hands to reach the round of 16, as defeat against Portugal in their previous game leaves them sitting bottom of the Group H standings. That defeat also means that the South Americans have failed to score in each of their first two games at the World Cup this year. Only a victory will see Uruguay reach the round of 16. They haven’t gone winless in a single edition of the World Cup since 1974. The only previous meeting between the nations was that infamous showdown at the 2010 World Cup. Uruguay progressed to the semi-finals on that occasion, winning a penalty shootout after the scores were tied at 1-1 after extra time. Uruguay has looked fairly weak in the final third throughout the tournament to this point, while Ghana has seized any chance that they have created. It may come 12 years too late, but we like the African nation to claim victory in this fixture. Make sure to bet on Ghana vs Uruguay with 22Bet!
The big match in Group G on Friday night is likely to come in the form of Serbia against Switzerland. It is a winner-take-all fixture for both European nations, as the side that picks up three points will likely finis second given that Cameroon come up against Brazil in their final fixture. Serbia and Switzerland come into their final game of Group G in relatively decent positions. Things look much brighter from a Swiss standpoint, as they will be aware that a point will be good enough to take them through to the next round. Switzerland’s only win in the World Cup to this point came in their opening fixture, as they narrowly beat Cameroon 1-0. In fact, that win is the only time that any fixture not involving Brazil has seen a winner in Group G. The Swiss put up an excellent fight in their previous fixture, but they were narrowly denied a crucial point against Brazil in the final stages, as Casemiro fired home the winner excellently. However, this looks to be a solid chance for them to reach the round of 16. Serbia currently sit bottom of the Group G standings, but they will be aware that a victory in this fixture will likely send them through to the round of 16 in Qatar. They only had themselves to blame in their previous fixture, as they threw away a 3-1 lead against Cameroon. Defensive mistakes were evident throughout that fixture, and they have now allowed more goals than any other side in Group G. Their record in the final group stage fixtures at the World Cup is also extremely weak, as Serbia have lost their previous three. This is the second straight World Cup in which Serbia and the Swiss have clashed. The meeting at the 2018 World Cup was a dramatic affair, as Switzerland won 2-1, with Xherdan Shaqiri scoring the winner in the 90th minute. This is likely to be a close match between two equally talented teams. However, Switzerland has an excellent habit of making it out of the group stages in major tournaments, and that experience could be key for this high-profile showdown. Therefore, we could see a draw being played out between the European nations. Make sure to bet on Serbia vs Switzerland with 22Bet!
The final round of fixtures in Group G are played on Friday evening. Brazil is already safely through to the next round of the competition, and they will be looking for the point that they need to top the group. Meanwhile, Cameroon could also make it through to the round of 16 with a victory. Brazil were listed as the clear favourites to win the World Cup before a ball was kicked, and little has changed throughout the group stage. The South Americans look on course to win their first World Cup in 20 years, after winning each of their opening two fixtures at the competition this year. Brazil has looked irrepressible throughout the games that they have played to this point, and come into this fixture having scored three goals without conceding. They looked strong once again in their previous fixture, but they required a moment of magic to break the deadlock against a resolute Switzerland. That moment came from an unlikely source as Casemiro wonderfully half-volleyed home to give the Brazilian’s the win that they craved. Cameroon were involved in potentially the game of the tournament so far in their previous fixture, as they managed to keep their dreams of progression alive with a 3-3 draw against Serbia. Defeat would have effectively saw them out of the competition, but the momentum that they built in the final 20 minutes of that fixture could be key. The African nation found themselves 3-1 down with half an hour to play, but excellently taken goals from Vincent Aboubakar and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting put them back on level terms. They will need to be more defensively solid in this fixture, but their dream of a spot in the round of 16 remains alive. This will be the seventh meeting between Cameroon and Brazil in all competitions. Brazil has won five of the previous six meetings, while they have won both of the two matches between the sides at the World Cup. The most recent of those was a 4-1 success in 2014. Cameroon remain in the hunt for a place in the next round, but this is a daunting challenge. Brazil hasn’t yet faced a shot on target in the competition, and are looking the strongest of any nation in Qatar. We struggle to see their excellent run coming to an end, and can see them winning this fixture 3-0. Make sure to bet on Cameroon vs Brazil with 22Bet!

We are in the thick of the World Cup, with the final round of group matches played this week. Many of the pools have already been decided, with the best teams securing their passage to the Round of 16. With teams playing for their position in the competition, tensions will be running high, and that will make for great viewing if you are following the action live on television. There are some eye-catching fixtures to work through, with England v Wales on Tuesday being the highlight so far. But the game we focus on here is Croatia v Belgium. These sides clash on the opening day of December, with Thursday’s game set for a 15:00 GMT kick-off. This Group F clash pairs two of the biggest sides in the tournament, two teams who began amongst the favourites to go all the way to the final. We could lose one of the sides here as the pool hangs in the balance. Three of the four teams remain in the running for a place in the next stage, with bottom club Canada already booking their flights home. That leaves Croatia, Morocco, and Belgium scrapping to fill the top two positions. Croatia and Morocco are joint top with four points collected from the opening two games. The stats show that the Croatians and Belgians are strangers to clashing in important games. They have met eight times previously, and there’s little between the pair in the head-to-head stats. Croatia has claimed three wins, and Belgium also has three wins, with the other two matches ending in a draw. The most recent fixture was played in June 2021 when Belgium nicked a hard-fought 1-0 victory. That was achieved thanks to a goal by Romelu Lukaku, with the former Manchester United striker bagging the winner near the end of the first half. He has been missing from Qatar so far but is expected to return from injury in time for this decider. His presence would greatly boost Belgium’s chances of winning the match and going through. Croatia enters this match sitting in the pole position of Group F, with their stats showing one win and a draw. The four points leave them level on points with fellow pace-setters Morocco, but Croatia enjoys a slight advantage, having scored two more than their nearest rivals. With Croatia and Morocco on four points and Belgium on three, this looks like a straight shoot-out for qualification to the next phase. If Morocco does as pundits expect and beat basement boys Canada, they will move onto seven points, booking their place in knockout football. That means if Croatia can avoid defeat, they will join the Moroccans. They head into this match on a strong run of form after beating Saudi Arabia 1-0 in a friendly a few days before the World Cup got underway. That result has worked out well as the Saudis have since beaten Argentina, who were the second favourites, with many industry insiders behind Brazil to win the trophy. Croatia was then expected to defeat Morocco in their opening match last Wednesday, but that game failed to follow the script, producing a goalless draw. Despite the score, it was an entertaining game, with both teams having chances to snatch a later winner, although the draw seemed to be a fair result. Croatia finally got off the mark on matchday two when hammering Canada 4-1 in a real show of strength. The played failed to live up to the hype when bringing the curtain up with a draw, but they were sublime against Canada. Yes, Canada is a team Croatia should be beating and will do on most occasions, but the manner of the victory was impressive. In difficult conditions and with the pressure building, they kept their calm, created plenty of chances, and scored four goals. The strikes came from Livaja and Majer, who got one each, Kramaric putting in a man of the match performance while netting a brace. On paper, Belgium has one of the best teams in the world, their squad packed with individual talent and proven scorers. But this side – once referred to as Belgium’s Golden Generation – has never quite turned it on in major competitions. As a...
Canada’s World Cup journey will come to an end on Thursday, as they play their final Group F fixture against Morocco. The African nation could yet reach the round of 16, as they need just a point in their final fixture. One of the big shocks of the group stages at the World Cup could come in Group F, as Croatia or Belgium could be eliminated at the first hurdle. Morocco could be the nation to eliminate one of the European heavyweights, as a victory will definitely secure qualification, while a draw could also be enough, depending on the result in the other fixture in the group. Morocco blew this group wide open in their second fixture, as they managed to record a famous 2-0 win against Belgium. That, coupled with a win for Croatia, sees them sit second in the group standings coming into the final round of fixtures. Morocco were excellent against Belgium’s Golden Generation, as they sealed a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Romain Saiss and Zakaria Aboukhlal. It has been a learning curve for Canada on their return to the World Cup, but it will only heighten expectations ahead of their home tournament in four years. Canada were excellent in their opening fixture against Belgium, but they were eventually beaten. However, their moment of the tournament would come in their second game, as they scored their first-ever World Cup goal inside the opening two minutes when Alphonso Davies headed home. But, Croatia upped their performance following that setback and eventually recorded a 4-1 win. Regardless, there is enough to suggest that Canada could pose serious questions of this Morocco side. This will be a fourth meeting between Canada and Morocco. The African nation hasn’t lost in three previous meetings, winning on two occasions. The most recent fixture was played in October 2016, with Morocco claiming a 4-0 win. Canada’s performances in the World Cup have merited at least a point. However, the need for Morocco to win this game could be the important factor. Morocco were excellent in their previous fixture, and we could see that momentum being maintained, as they collect a victory that they need to reach the next round. Make sure to bet on Canada vs Morocco with 22Bet!
Spain already has one foot in the next round of the World Cup, but they will need to complete the job in their final Group E fixture against Japan on Thursday. It has been a World Cup full of shocks, and Japan will be looking for a repeat of their opening match success against Germany. Spain looked like a solid chance to reach the round of 16 in quickfire fashion after recording a 7-0 win in their opening game against Costa Rica. They looked set to book their spot in the next round in the second group game, as they went ahead midway through the second half against Germany. However, they were unable to hold onto the lead given to them by Alvaro Morata, and allowed their rivals to equalise in the final ten minutes. Spain still holds an incredible hold on this group, as a point will be enough to go through as group winners. However, a defeat could lead to an embarrassing exit at the final hurdle. Spain will only be too aware of the threat posed by this Japanese team, and they will be looking to avoid the same fate as Germany in their opening fixture. There is a real sense that Japan have missed out on their golden opportunity to reach the round of 16, as victory against Costa Rica in their previous game would have put them into a commanding position. However, they were beaten by their Group E rivals in that fixture, which means that they will likely need a win out of this fixture to reach the next round. Japan were excellent in their opening fixture against Germany, but lacked the fire power in the final third to see off Costa Rica in their second match. They will need to take any chance that they get in this fixture against a strong Spanish side if they are to reach the next round. There has been just one previous fixture between Japan and Spain, with that meeting coming in an international friendly back in 2001. On that occasion, Spain were 1-0 winners. Spain has an excellent World Cup record against nations from the Asia region, having gone unbeaten in their last five. That run looks set to continue in Qatar on Thursday, as we find it very hard to see Spain making the same mistakes as Germany against Japan. Make sure to bet on Japan vs Spain with 22Bet!
The final round of fixtures in Group E will take place at the World Cup on Thursday. There will be a lot of pressure on Germany, as they look to force their way out of the opening round, with the Germans in desperate need of a victory. Costa Rica could also yet qualify with a win. It has been far from an ideal World Cup campaign to this point for Germany, but they remain in the hunt for a place in the next round of the competition. Germany will be aware that a win will be likely enough to get into the round of 16, as Japan come up against Spain in their final fixture. However, Germany will need to claim victory against Costa Rica before worrying about other results. The Germans were shocked in their opening fixture, as they were humbled by Japan, despite going 1-0 up. However, they did look more united in their following fixture, as they battled back from a goal down to hold Spain to a draw. We wouldn’t be surprised to see Niclas Fulkrug handed a start after his game-saving goal in the final ten minutes. Many have already labelled Costa Rica as the worst team at the World Cup this year, but they could yet reach the round of 16 with a favourable result. They will need just a point as long as Japan are beaten by Spain in their final fixture. After a heavy defeat against the Spanish in their opening fixture, Costa Rica recorded a first win in their second group stage game. There was more than a slice of luck surrounding that victory, as they needed a hand from the Japanese goalkeeper to score their winning goal. However, it’s likely that they will be delighted to come into this fixture still in with a chance of reaching the next round. This will be only the second meeting between Costa Rica and Germany. The first meeting took place at the 2006 World Cup, as Germany claimed a win in their opening game as hosts with a 4-2 success. There hasn’t been a lot to like about Costa Rica’s performances to this point, and they were hugely fortunate to record a win against Spain in their second game. Therefore, we could see Germany reaching the next round of the competition with a big 3-0 success against their rivals on Thursday. Make sure to bet on Costa Rica vs Germany with 22Bet!
World champions France are looking extremely good value to put up a strong defence of their title in Qatar, as they have seamlessly made it through Group D with a game to spare. France close their group campaign against Tunisia, who could yet qualify with a victory. Many were very quick to write off France’s chances of winning the World Cup for a second straight edition before the competition got underway. However, many will be rethinking that stance as the French have made a very strong start to the group stages in Qatar. The reigning world champions wasted little time in showing their attacking quality in their opening fixture, as they picked up a thumping 4-1 win against Australia. They were made to work much harder in their second fixture, as they just about edged to a 2-1 win against Denmark. The man for the big moment was once again Kylian Mbappe, who scored both goals in the victory, with his second effort being scored four minutes from time. However, the French could make a number of changes for this final group stage game with their progression already assured. If you would have told Tunisia that they would go into their final game with a chance of qualification still available, then they probably would have taken it. The African nation could reach the next stage with a victory, but they will need to win by a decent margin and hope that the other fixture in Group D ends in a draw. Tunisia are yet to pick up a victory at the World Cup this year, as they have played out a defeat and a draw in their opening two fixtures. However, their big opportunity for a victory may have passed them by, as they were beaten 1-0 by Australia in their last fixture. But, the changes made to the French team could give them an unlikely chance. France has never lost in four previous fixtures against Tunisia. During that run, they have picked up two wins and two draws. The most recent fixture between the nations was played in May 2010, with a 1-1 draw being played out. It hasn’t been for the lack of trying for Tunisia at this World Cup, as they have struck 27 shots already in two games. However, this could be another heart-breaking departure at the group stage. Despite the French making a number of changes, we still expect the world champions to maintain their momentum. Make sure to bet on Tunisia vs France with 22Bet!
The big game in Group D on Wednesday comes in the form of Australia’s clash with Denmark. Both nations will be looking for a positive result to reach the round of 16, with the Aussies being aware that a draw would be enough to secure their passage. Australia stand on the verge of creating national team history at the 2022 World Cup, as the Aussies could qualify for the round of 16 for just the second time ever. Australia has already recorded one win at the World Cup this year, which was more than they had managed in their previous two efforts at the tournament. But, a place in the round of 16 would be theirs providing that they can pick up a draw against Denmark on Wednesday. Australia kept their dreams of progression alive over the weekend, as they bounced back from a thumping defeat against France with a 1-0 win against Tunisia. The only goal of the game was scored after 23 minutes, as Mitchell Duke broke the deadlock. However, it was their defensive play that made the headlines, as the defenders were the stars of the match for the Aussies. Denmark are yet to really find their feet at the 2022 World Cup, as they are yet to pick up a victory in Group D. However, victory in their final group game will ensure their passage through to the next round of the competition. Denmark were held to a 0-0 draw in their opening fixture against Tunisia, before they were narrowly beaten by France over the weekend. However, with the attacking quality within the Denmark ranks, many see the Danes as a strong contender to beat Australia and qualify for the round of 16 on Wednesday. This will be the second time that Denmark and Australia have clashed at the World Cup. The previous meeting came four years ago in Russia, as the nations played out a 1-1 draw. However, Denmark has won two of the previous four meetings. Denmark has gone five matches without a victory at the World Cup, but they looked back to somewhere near their best in Saturday’s defeat against France. If they can match that performance level on Wednesday, we expect them to sneak through to the next round with a slender win. Make sure to bet on Australia vs Denmark with 22Bet!
The final round of fixtures in Group C take place on Wednesday, and both Saudi Arabia and Mexico come into the final matchday with a chance of reaching the round of 16. However, if either side is likely to progress, they will likely need to pick up a victory in their final fixture. It has been a World Cup full of shock results, but Saudi Arabia reaching the round of 16 could potentially be one of the biggest. They were written off by many before the start of the competition, which only heightened the expectation that they would be swatted aside by Argentina. However, the Asian nation were excellent in that opening fixture, as they battled back to claim a memorable 2-1 win against the Copa America champions. But, they weren’t able to continue that fine run of form in their second fixture, as they were made to pay for missed chances. Poland claimed a 2-0 win in the following match, which means that Saudi Arabia will need to pick up a positive result in this third group stage game if they are to reach the round of 16. Mexico have easily been one of the most disappointing teams at the World Cup this year, and their record of having reached the round of 16 in each of the previous seven tournaments is looking under increasing threat. Mexico is yet to pick up a victory at the World Cup this year, while they could also fail to score a goal in a single edition of the World Cup for the first time in their history. They were held by Poland in their opening fixture, before they lost 2-0 against Argentina in their following match. However, they could yet qualify for the next round. In order to do so, they must beat Saudi Arabia and hope Poland beat Argentina. Mexico and Saudi Arabia have clashed on five previous occasions. Mexico are unbeaten in all previous meetings against their Group C rivals, having recorded four wins and a draw. This is a wide-open fixture, but it should be very entertaining given that both nations need to win to keep their hopes of progression alive. However, we have been impressed by Saudi Arabia’s attacking qualities to this point, and that could give them the edge on Wednesday. Make sure to bet on Saudi Arabia vs Mexico with 22Bet!
There will be a massive day in the World Cup for Argentina on Wednesday evening, as they look to avoid disaster and crash out at the first hurdle in Group C. Poland will be aware that a point will be good enough for them to qualify, but Argentina will likely need a victory. It has been a mixed group stage campaign from an Argentina point of view to this point, as they started the World Cup with a shock defeat against Saudi Arabia. However, they finally got back on track in their second group game, as they played out a professional 2-0 win against Mexico. Once again, it was far from a performance fitting of World Cup favourites, as they needed to wait until the 64th minute to break the deadlock. The moment of magic once again came from the left boot of Lionel Messi, who fired home from the outside of the box to give Argentina the lead. They managed to wrap up the victory with just three minutes of the 90 remaining, as Enzo Fernandez scored a stunning second goal. However, it’s Poland that come into this fixture in the best position. They currently sit top of the Group C standings, and will be aware that a point will be good enough for them to reach the round of 16. Like Argentina, they are yet to really produce a stellar performance at the competition this year, as they were held by Mexico in their opening game, before recording a win against Saudi Arabia. That win against Saudi Arabia was a stunning victory, as Poland had to show great character. Piotr Zielinski opened the scoring for the Poles in the first half, before Robert Lewandowski finally scored his first-ever goal at the World Cup in the final ten minutes to seal the victory. This will be the third time that the nations have met at the World Cup. Poland won the first meeting in 1974, before Argentina won four years later. However, the European nation won the most recent fixture between the sides, as they claimed a 2-1 win in June 2011. The odds may see this as an easy win for Argentina, but they are likely going to have to work extremely hard for three points. Poland will play a defensive formation, and will look to play on the counter-attack. That tactic worked for Saudi Arabia against Argentina, but we could see the South American’s sneaking a win by a one-goal margin on Wednesday. Make sure to bet on Poland vs Argentina with 22Bet!
And just like that, we have arrived at the final round of group matches from the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The action has been fast-paced, dramatic, unpredictable, and thoroughly enjoyable since the host nation brought the curtain up earlier this month. But there’s plenty more to come. We have seen nothing yet as the tension levels rise and the pressure builds. Only a few teams have secured their progress to the Round of 16, meaning we are in for a week of high drama. Football fans watching the action live on TV are in for a rollercoaster ride over the next few days. We begin this week’s World Cup previews with England v Wales on Tuesday. These sides may be neighbours living on good terms back home, but in the Arab World, things are done differently. This is a must-win match for Wales, or they will be packing up their belongings and jetting back to Cardiff. The players will then join their club teams and prepare for the restart before Christmas. But no one inside the Welsh training camp will be ready to throw in the towel just yet. England got off to the best possible start by hammering Iran 6-2, but they find themselves involved in a shootout with the Group B underdogs for the top spot. How did that happen? It’s a strange one, but there’s no getting away from the fact England needs to win. Gareth Southgate’s side knows failure to take maximum points on Tuesday may not send them home, but it could kill off their hopes of progressing as group winners. But which side will be celebrating at the final whistle, England or Wales? Read on for our big match preview and expert predictions. Three Lions are on the hunt England enters game three with three points on the board after matches against Iran and the USA. They made the perfect start when putting six goals past an Iranian side that lost its goalkeeper early in the play and struggled to adjust. Despite losing two goals, the destination of the points was never in doubt, and England’s performance suggested they may just have a shot at going all the way and winning this competition. There was no shortage of fans with high hopes, that’s for sure. But it didn’t last long, as England dropped points the next time. The Iranians may be better than we thought as they bagged an impressive win on matchday two over Wales. That raised the question, was England really that great in their opening fixture, or was it a terrible day at the office for Iran? That remains to be seen, but we’ll get our answer on Tuesday as the group wraps up. Iran plays the USA, knowing victory sends them through to the Round of 16, where they’ll be involved in knockout football. Defeat puts them out, while a draw keeps things interesting. England knows if they win against Wales, they will finish in pole position, regardless of what happens elsewhere. Will England get the result they want against Wales? Fans aren’t nearly as confident as they were prior to a goalless draw with the USA on matchday two. The Three Lions started that game against the Stars and Stripes as hot favourites, expected to run over the top of an opponent still finding its feet in this sport. England may have been guilty of over-confidence or taking their opponents lightly, as they were dreadful in that goalless finish. They had chances to nick a winner, but if England had won that game, it would have been terribly unfair on the USA, who battled hard. Final roll of the dice for Wales Wales is in the kind of predicament most of their fans would have expected at this stage. They are fighting for their survival and know only a win over England will send them through. They know it’s all-or-nothing on Tuesday, and having to beat a team of that calibre is never ideal. It would have suited the Welsh more if England had run away with the pool, beating Iran and edging out the USA. That would’ve left the second place up for grabs, with Wales up against the USA and Iran for the silver medal position. But things haven’t gone according to plan for the Dragons ...
Group B will come to its conclusion on Tuesday, and all four teams could still qualify. However, in the midst of all the possible outcomes, we will have a rematch of one of the most politically-charged World Cup fixtures in history. Tensions have already been building, but will history repeat itself, and can Iran make it through to the round of 16? One of the big matches that all fans from around the world have been waiting for will finally take place on Tuesday in Group B. The stakes will be high for both Iran and the United States, as victory for either would ensure their passage through to the next round. Meanwhile, a draw for Iran is also likely to be enough. Tensions have already been rising in the build-up to the fixture, with the USMNT displaying a picture of the Iranian flag without the emblem of the Islamic Republic, seemingly indicating their support for protestors in Iran ahead of the fixture. The move was met with critics in Iran, who quickly indicated that they wished for the US to be kicked out of the World Cup. The action on the pitch is also likely to be entertaining, as Iran moved into a very strong position to reach the round of 16 in their previous fixture. Both goals for Iran in that win were scored in second half injury time, with Rouzbeh Cheshmi netting the first, before Ramin Rezaelan scored the second. It hasn’t been the best World Cup to this point for the United States, as they are yet to pick up a victory in either of their two fixtures. The United States were held by Wales in their opening game, before playing out a 0-0 draw in their latest fixture against England. However, only a win will do in this final game. Iran is unbeaten in their previous two matches against the United States. The standout win came at the 1998 World Cup, as a 1-0 success eliminated the United States and also recorded a first-ever win at the competition for Iran. This will be a huge fixture for both nations, as they look to reach the round of 16. We expect it to be a very cagey affair, and neither side is likely to give up many chances. However, it’s hard to look past the United States, who has the better quality across the field. Make sure to bet on Iran vs USA with 22Bet!
The Netherlands will bring their Group A to a close on Tuesday at the Khalifa International Stadium, as the Dutch take on host nation Qatar. It will be a bittersweet moment for the hosts, as they will be playing their final game at the World Cup, as their elimination has already been confirmed. The Netherlands will play their final game in Group A on Tuesday, as they look to wrap up top spot. It hasn’t been a perfect group stage campaign by any means for Louis van Gaal’s side, and they could yet finish second in the standings depending on the results in the final round of fixtures. The Dutch were strong winners in their opening fixture against Senegal, but they found little in response when tested against Ecuador in their previous fixture. They took the lead early in that fixture after just six minutes, as Cody Gakpo once again looked like the biggest threat. The forward scored his second goal in two games, and many expected the Dutch to race away with the win. However, they were pegged back early in the second half, and eventually needed to settle for a point. Qatar will exit their own World Cup at the group stage this year, as they have failed to pick up a single point from their opening two fixtures. They have already allowed five goals, but they did enjoy a bright moment in their 3-1 loss against Senegal, as Qatar scored their first ever World Cup goal. The hosts will be looking to avoid a number of unwanted records in this final fixture. That includes the fact that no host nation has ever lost all three games at the World Cup. However, it appears to be a tall order to see them getting anything from this fixture against a talented Dutch side. This will be a first ever meeting between the Netherlands and Qatar. However, the Dutch have won all four previous World Cup fixtures that they have played against nations from Asia. In the process, they have scored eleven, and have conceded just once. This should be one of the easiest games to predict at the World Cup so far. Qatar has already come up short against Senegal and Ecuador, and the performances in those two matches mean that we could see the Dutch comfortably winning this fixture by at least three goals. Make sure to bet on Netherlands vs Qatar with 22Bet!
The big game from Group H at the World Cup on Monday comes in the form of Portugal against Uruguay. Portugal will be looking to become only the second nation to win both of their fixtures in the group stage this year, while Uruguay will be looking for a first win. Group H was labelled as the group of death when the draw for the 2022 World Cup was made. However, Portugal could eradicate all fears of an early exit in their second group stage fixture on Monday, as a second consecutive win could effectively mean progression through to the next round. Portugal were excellent in the final third in their opening fixture against Ghana, as they scored three times in the final 20 minutes. Cristiano Ronaldo made history by scoring in a fifth different World Cup to open the scoring, before goals from Joao Felix and Rafael Leao extended their advantage. However, they were made to sweat in the final couple of minutes, as Ghana pulled a second goal back, before missing a guilt-edge chance to steal a point. It was certainly not the start to the World Cup that Uruguay would have been expecting, as the South American nation were held to a goalless draw by South Korea. Uruguay offered extremely little in the final third, and registered just a single shot on target in the 90 minutes. The closest that they came to breaking the deadlock was Diego Godin’s effort, which smashed the post. Luis Suarez was extremely disappointing in that fixture, and he will likely be replaced by Edinson Cavani for this showdown against Portugal. The South American nation has an excellent record against European opposition at the World Cup, as they have picked up wins from four of their previous five fixtures. These two nations will be clashing for the second straight World Cup. They met in the first knockout round four years ago, with Uruguay claiming a win to eliminate Portugal. Portugal also has a poor record against South American opposition, as they have won just once in the previous nine. This should be a thrilling fixture between two very talented sides. However, we were impressed with Portugal in their opening fixture, and the aging Uruguayan backline looks extremely vulnerable against the Portuguese. For that reason, we could see Ronaldo and his team recording a second straight win. Make sure to bet on Portugal vs Uruguay with 22Bet!
The big game in Group A on Tuesday will see Ecuador and Senegal clash. Both nations will be aware that they will need a favourable result to reach the next round, with Ecuador holding the advantage, as they sit second in the current standings. There will be a huge fixture at the World Cup for both Ecuador and Senegal on Tuesday. Ecuador will be looking to reach the round of 16 at the World Cup for just the second time in their history, and they will be aware that a draw will be good enough to achieve that feat. The South American nation has been one of the standout sides in Qatar to this point, with Enner Valencia rolling back the years with three goals in two games. Ecuador ensured that their fate remained in their own hands in their previous fixture, as they battled back extremely well to save a point against the Netherlands. The South Americans fell behind early in that fixture, but Valencia fired Ecuador level just four minutes into the second half. It was another strong performance, and they will be looking to complete the job against Senegal. Senegal were many peoples picks to finish second in Group A, but they will need to claim victory in their final game to ensure that they can reach the next round of the World Cup. The reigning African Cup of Nations champions finally got off the mark in their previous fixture, as they recorded a strong victory against Qatar. Senegal never looked in danger of losing that game, and found themselves 2-0 up after 48 minutes following efforts from Boulaye Dia and Famara Diedhiou. However, Qatar scored their first ever World Cup goal with 12 minutes remaining to keep the African nation on their toes. But, Senegal completed the job with a third strike with six minutes remaining. Senegal has a positive record in this fixture, as they have won both of the previous meetings. The latest of their wins was a 2-1 success in December 2005. Meanwhile, this is Ecuador’s first ever clash against a nation from Africa at the World Cup. This should be a very cagey fixture, as both nations will be aware of the stakes. However, we have been very impressed by Ecuador throughout the World Cup, and we could see them recording a victory to ensure their passage through to the next round. Make sure to bet on Ecuador vs Senegal with 22Bet!
One of the largest bookmakers worldwide, 22Bet has become an official partner of Centurion FC. The latter is one of the most prominent Mixed Martial Arts companies in Europe. Best fighters take part in various events combining entertainment with combat sports. The partnership started in early November and 22Bet has acquired another big partner. Enhancing its reach, both companies will benefit from this partnership. 22Bet in its turn has a lot of MMA events and Centurion FC will be a great addition. Centurion FC was established in Malta not so long ago. The organization amasses a legion of fighters and loyal fans, who are always looking forward to entertainment. The company’s main goal is to create a new “generation” of athletes. At the same time, they are motivated to bring exciting and competitive tournaments into the cage. Roberto Gallo is a founder of Centurion FC. Having over 26 years of experience, his dedication and discipline helped him establish core values for Centurion FC. It is because of him MMA has become one of the largest promotion companies in Europe. The arena and format of the events attract a lot of viewers. People describe fights as world-class events with much less over-hyped drama. The official website of 22Bet began working back in 2018. At the same time a license from the Curacao Gaming Authority was obtained, the laws of the jurisdiction which the company follows to this day. From the first day of work, the bookmaker set a clear goal. They started to accept users from around the world and give them profitable odds for a wide range of popular events, including live betting. Today, the official website of the 22Bet has been translated into more than 50 languages and is available to players from almost all countries of the world. We can talk about a lot of reasons why these companies agreed on a partnership. First of all, Centurion FC is a widely recognized company and it will get even more fans throughout the partnership. Secondly, as 22Bet focuses on MMA events, Centurion FC is likely to offer its innovations too. We have already seen numerous cases when various brands and companies sign a partnership deal with each other. As 22Bet is a massive betting company, it will greatly expand its influence in the iGaming industry.
The World Cup has gone full circle as we head into matchday two. England faces the USA in one of the most eagerly anticipated and exciting fixtures of the group stages, and it’s anyone’s guess which side will win this. England is the obvious pick due to their experience at this level, the talent at Gareth Southgate’s disposal, and the backing of a passionate and supportive crowd. This USA team will know they are underdogs to win this match, but head in with confidence, understanding that there are still a few question marks hanging over their opponent’s defence. Which side will come out on top and claim all three points to go top of Group B? We will find out from 19:00 GMT when the pair clash live on television. England started as the pool leaders with a healthy goal difference after battering Iran last Monday. That 6-2 victory sent them into pole position, and the players know that back-to-back wins would see them secure a place in the next round. They may do that as group winners or runners-up, but this is a win-at-all-costs fixture. A defeat for either side would damage their chances of playing knockout football. The stats sheet shows England and the USA have met 11 times previously, with the current head-to-head stats showing eight wins for England, two for the USA, and one for one draw. Team America hasn’t beaten the Three Lions in almost thirty years, and that will be playing on the minds of their fans. Records are there to be broken, as the old football adage reminds us. Still, the USA comes up against a strong England side that is one of the favourites to win the competition for the second time in its history after securing glory in 1966. Three Lions roar in their opener There were worries from fans that England wasn’t ready for this World Cup, and the delay had done Southgate’s team no favours whatsoever. They were poor in the UEFA Nations League earlier this year when suffering the embarrassment of relegation to Group B, leading some critics to call for the head of Southgate and replace him in time to save England’s chances of glory in Qatar. But the team was handed a comfortable opening match against Iran, and they were expected to win with plenty to spare. Anything less than a convincing victory would’ve heaped more pressure on the manager and some of his stars. England won that match 6-2 thanks to a pair of goals from Saka and added to Bellingham, Sterling, Rashford, and Grealish strikes. Iran hit back twice, with their top man Taremi chipping in with two in an eight-goal thriller. He scored against the run of play on 65 minutes and then netted a late and controversial penalty after 13 minutes of added-on time at the end of the play. England was in complete control of the match from the kick-off to the final whistle, but the fact a small team like Iran found a way to score past them twice will give the backroom staff something to think about ahead of this return to action. The win was convincing, and there were several positives to take from the match, including the brilliant performance from Saka that was rewarded by his two goals. He has a big future ahead of him, as does Bellingham, who showed a willingness to run at defenders, take players on and either take a shot at goal or provide an assist for a teammate. Surprisingly, Harry Kane wasn’t among the goals, but he must love playing alongside Bellingham with the inch-perfect deliveries he sends into the danger area. The young attacker will be asked to go and do the same again versus the USA. We aren’t too sure what to expect from the USA at this competition. We know football – or soccer – isn’t the nation’s main sport, positioned behind the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB, but it’s on the rise. A new generation of young boys and girls is taking up the sport on the back of the USA women’s team and its success in major tournaments. Now it’s the men’s shot to fly the stars and stripes at the World Cup and there are a few players in their squad who suggest they could sne...
The games continue to come thick and fast from Qatar as the competition races through the group stages. With every game shown live on television and live streaming apps, there’s no reason to miss your favorites in action. Watch the play from the comfort of your home with friends, family, and fellow football fans, or catch the play when on the move using the best live streaming apps available on mobile. The game we will focus on in this article is Portugal v Ghana which is set for a 16:00 GMT kick-off on Thursday. Portugal is one of the major sides in attendance, and most pundits, ex-players, and neutral football fans expect them to beat Ghana with plenty to spare. There are no easy games at this level, and the conditions help level the playing field a little. We have already watched Saudi Arabia fight back from 1-0 down to Argentina at half-time, only to roar back and go on to win the match. Nothing can be taken for granted in Qatar, and we are certain there will be plenty more upsets before the final is decided on Sunday, 18th December. The history books show these teams have met only once when facing off at World Cup 2014. Portugal were the winners of that match thanks to a 2-1 scoreline. Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winning goal that day, finding the net in 80 minutes with the game locked at 1-1. It has already been a rollercoaster week for CR7, who left Manchester United by mutual consent. Will he make headlines with another goal and match-winning performance against Ghana? We certainly aren’t in a rush to write the attacker off in what will likely be his final World Cup. Portugal has a strong chance of going far at this World Cup, and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see them lift the trophy. Fernando Santos and his men are currently ranked number nine in the world by FIFA, and most pundits make that about right, placing Portugal just behind the early leaders, including Brazil, France, and England. Argentina’s loss to Saudi Arabia saw its popularity with neutrals take a hit, meaning Portugal has a chance to move into contention. Most followers remain unconvinced by Cristiano Ronaldo and co. A strong win over Ghana – which is possible – would help win over the doubters. Ronaldo has been all over the newspapers this week, and it has nothing to do with his antics at the World Cup. This is expected to be the Portugal captain’s final World Cup, with 2026 in the United States, Canada, and Mexico likely to come too late in his career. That adds even more pressure to CR7, who would love to sign off with a World Cup win that would put any debate over him being the world’s best player to bed. But he will walk onto the pitch with a shadow hanging over his career in club football after being released by English Premier League side Manchester United. The move was reported as a mutual agreement after well-publicized breaks in the relationship between the player and the club at Old Trafford. Portugal was last seen in action beating Nigeria on Thursday in a friendly. That was a game designed to keep the players fit and sharp while helping Santos decide his best eleven players. They won that match and did so in style, rushing to a 4-0 victory thanks to goals from Ramos and Mario, with Bruno Fernandes scoring two. They lost their last competitive match in the UEFA Nations League, 1-0 to Spain in Group A2, thanks to a late goal from Morata, who found the net with 88 minutes on the clock. If Portugal is near their best, they will consider themselves good enough to secure all three points in their opener. Ghana arrives in Qatar without any pressure on its shoulders. This squad is talented – they were certainly good enough to make it this far when many supposed bigger sides failed – but not much is expected of them. Many pundits predict the Africans could bow out of the race after three group games, but nothing is set in stone. The underdogs won’t pay any attention to what’s said against them in the media or the predictions from fans of ot...
The early game in the World Cup on Friday morning will come from Group B, as Wales look to keep their dreams of progression alive. They will come up against an Iran side that were humbled in their opening fixture in the group by England. There will be pressure on both Iran and Wales to get the victory in their second fixtures in Group B on Friday morning. Wales will come into the fixture full of confidence, as they earned a point on their return to the World Cup against the United States. The Welsh were very slow to get started in that opening fixture, and they were fortunate to be just 1-0 down at the break. However, it was a different story in the second half, as the introduction of Keiffer Moore changed the game in their favour. Wales pressed for the equalising goal throughout the second half, and finally got their chance after Gareth Bale was brought down for a penalty. The former Real Madrid superstar made no mistake from the sport, as he scored his nation’s first goal at the World Cup since 1958. Iran came into the World Cup in excellent form, with many experts claiming that their low block could cause serious issues for the nations that they would come up against in Group B. However, England make a mockery of those claims in the opening fixture in Group B, as they broke through Iran’s resistance on six occasions. The one bright spark was the performance of Porto striker Medhi Taremi, who was forced to feed off very little throughout the match. Despite that, he still scored twice with his only sights of goal in the match against the Three Lions. Wales and Iran have clashed on just one previous occasion. That fixture was played back in April 1978, with Wales claiming a 1-0 win. Wales also has an excellent record against nations from Asia, having gone seven without defeat. Meanwhile, they have conceded just once. It has been a long wait for a Wales win at the World Cup, but we could see that run coming to an end at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium on Friday. We once again expect Moore to be the vocal point, and we could see the striker scoring in a 2-0 win. Make sure to bet on Wales vs Iran with 22Bet!
The two winning teams from the opening round of fixtures in Group A will clash on Friday at the Khalifa International Stadium. Victory for either the Netherlands or Ecuador would ensure their passage through to the next round of the competition in Qatar. The two standout teams from Group A after the opening round of fixtures will meet in their second fixtures at the World Cup this year. The Netherlands have been tipped up as potential dark horses by a number of experts, but they desperately needed to get off to a perfect start to vindicate those claims. However, they were extremely professional in their opening day assignment against Senegal, as they landed a 2-0 win. That win ensures that Louis van Gaal is still yet to suffer a defeat since beginning his second stint as manager of the national side. The impressive Cody Gakpo opened the scoring in the fixture with six minutes remaining, before the points were wrapped up with virtually the last kick of the game, as Davy Klaassen doubled the advantage. Ecuador has failed to make it out of the group stage in two of their previous three appearances at the World Cup. However, they have given themselves every chance of going further in the competition this year, as they picked up an impressive win on the opening day against host nation Qatar. The South American side were very impressive in the first half of that fixture, and twice broke through the shaky Qatar defence. Enner Valencia opened the scoring from the penalty spot after 16 minutes, before the former West Ham striker doubled his and his team’s tally with 15 minutes to go before the half time break. This will be the third time that the Netherlands and Ecuador have squared off in an international fixture. Both previous matches came in friendlies, with the Dutch winning 1-0 in 2006, and a 1-1 draw being the outcome in 2014. This should be an entertaining match between two sides that were impressive in their opening matches. However, we could see both sides being content with a draw in this second fixture, as it will ensure that qualification remains in their own hands. A 1-1 draw would be our pick, with Gakpo once again being the opening scorer for the Dutch. Make sure to bet on Netherlands vs Ecuador with 22Bet!
There will be a must-win game in Group A for both Senegal and Qatar on Friday, as both nations face the prospect of being the first team eliminated from the World Cup this year. But, can the hosts produce a better display than they managed in their opening fixture? Group A remains in the balance, but both Qatar and Senegal must win their second game at the competition this year to remain in the hunt for qualification. There is likely to be pressure on the host nation, as they became the first hosts to lose their opening match at the World Cup in history. They were fortunate not to go 1-0 down inside five minutes against Ecuador, but the South Americans did break the deadlock just ten minutes later. Most concerning was just how little Qatar offered in the final third, as they mustered just five shot, and failed to register a shot on target. There appeared to be a gulf in class between the two nations, and they will need to raise their game in this second fixture in Group A. Senegal were tipped up by many as a potential dark horse at the World Cup this year, but the African nation’s chances were ultimately impacted following the news that Sadio Mane would be absent from the World Cup just days before it got underway. His presence, or lack of, was certainly felt in their opening match against the Netherlands, as they failed to lay a glove on their European rivals. The Dutch were eventually able to cruise to a 2-0 win in the opening match, between the two sides many expected to advance from Group A. However, Senegal must be better in this second fixture, and a win will be the very least that Senegal fans will be hoping for. This will be the very first international fixture between Qatar and Senegal. However, Senegal has now failed to win their previous four World Cup fixtures across the previous two editions of the competition. Qatar looked outclassed in their opening fixture of the World Cup, and we struggle to see anything other than a repeat performance against Senegal on Friday. Therefore, we can see the African giants keeping their hopes of qualification alive with a win. Make sure to bet on Qatar vs Senegal with 22Bet!
Group H looks set to be the closest fought group at the World Cup this year, and both Uruguay and South Korea will be hopeful of reaching the next round of the competition. But, which of the nations will get off to a perfect start in Qatar this year when they clash at the Education City Stadium? Uruguay will be playing in their fourth straight World Cup this year, which is the second time that they have managed to achieve that feat. However, it is no surprise to see them being tipped up as dark horses, as they have regularly performed well at the competition in recent occasions. That is evident by their record of having won six of their previous eight games in the competition, which includes a victory over Group H rivals Portugal. However, their record in opening fixtures is slightly more concerning, as they have landed victory in their first match on just one occasion in their previous seven attempts. Their form coming into the competition is slightly inconsistent, as they have won twice, and lost once in their previous four. However, they looked back to their best in their final warm-up match, as they beat Canada 2-0 in September. South Korea famously finished in fourth place at their home World Cup in 2002, and they will be playing in the competition this year for the tenth straight edition. However, they have managed to make it past the group stage on just one occasion in the previous four editions of the World Cup. South Korea recorded one win from three games in their last appearance at the World Cup, but that victory did come against Germany. They come into the competition in solid form, as they have lost just twice in their previous ten internationals. This will be the third time that Uruguay and South Korea have clashed at the World Cup. Both previous meetings have been won by Uruguay, which includes their most recent victory at the 2010 competition in the round of 16. This could be one of the more entertaining group stage games in the opening round of fixtures. Both sides will be looking to get the victory, but we could see a slight surprise being the outcome. We fancy the chances of South Korea to get the win to continue Uruguay’s poor record in opening fixtures at the World Cup. Make sure to bet on Uruguay vs South Korea with 22Bet!
One of the heavy tournament favourites at the World Cup this year open their campaign on Thursday, as Brazil look to get off to the perfect start against Serbia at the Lusail Stadium. But, can the fancied Brazilians end their 20-year wait for a World Cup success in Qatar? One of the teams that many are excited to see for the first time in Qatar this year will be Brazil, and we will get a first glimpse of the tournament favourites on Thursday evening, as Tite’s side take on Serbia. Brazil’s appearance at the World Cup maintains their excellent record of having appeared at every edition of the competition since 1930. They also have an excellent record in the group stage of the competition, as they have gone 15 without a defeat. Their last loss in the group stage at the World Cup came back in 1998, as they were shockingly beaten by Norway. However, their issues have come at a later stage, as they are yet to win another World Cup since their success in South Korea and Japan 20 years ago. However, they come into the tournament in great form, having won seven of the eighth games that they have played this calendar year. Their final warm-up game came against Tunisia, as they claimed a 5-1 win in September. Serbia will be the huge outsiders in the betting for this opening clash in Group G, but they come into the tournament having won four of their previous five games. Their final warm-up fixture came last week, as they hammered Bahrain 5-1. But, this is a completely different challenge altogether. But, they are becoming a more regular force at the World Cup, having managed to qualify for four of the previous five editions. However, during that run, they have lost seven of nine World Cup fixtures that they have played, which is more defeats than any other European nation. This is the second straight World Cup that the nations have been drawn alongside each other. Brazil were commanding 2-0 winners in Russia four years ago, while they also recorded a 1-0 win in the other previous meeting between the nations. Serbia may surprise a few and make it through to the next round of the competition. However, first matches in the competition don’t get more challenging than this. We would be extremely surprised to see any other result in this fixture than a win for the Brazilians. Make sure to bet on Brazil vs Serbia with 22Bet!
Group G gets underway at the World Cup on Thursday, with the early kick off taking place at the Al Janoub Stadium. Switzerland will be looking to build on a strong showing at the European Championships last summer, as they bid to get off to a perfect start against Cameroon. Group G promises to be one of the most open when it comes to the team that progresses in second place, which means that this is a vitally important fixture for both Switzerland and Cameroon. Brazil are widely expected to go through as group winners, but the Swiss could claim to have a strong chance of joining them based on their performances over the previous 12 months. Switzerland were excellent at the EUROs last summer, as they knocked out France before being eliminated in the quarterfinals. However, it has been a long time since they have enjoyed a strong run at the World Cup, as they haven’t reached the quarterfinals in the competition since 1954. They have reached the round of 16 in each of the previous two editions of the competition, and their prowess of making it out of the group stage could be pivotal in Qatar. Cameroon is the most successful African nation in World Cup history, as they will be competing at the competition for the eighth time in their history this year. However, they are yet to surpass their achievement of reaching the quarterfinals in 1990, and they have been eliminated at the group stage in each of their previous two appearances. Furthermore, they don’t come into the competition this year with any kind of momentum, as they have failed to win their previous four internationals. Both of their previous two have ended in 1-1 draws, with their latest fixture coming against Panama last week. This will be the first time that Switzerland and Cameroon have clashed in a competitive international fixture. Furthermore, it is also only the second time that the Swiss will face an African side, with their only other clash ending in a 2-0 win against Togo at the 2006 World Cup. Switzerland has an excellent record in the group stages at major tournaments, and that could be a vital trend to consider in the competition this year. We expect them to get off to a winning start against Cameroon. Make sure to bet on Switzerland vs Cameroon with 22Bet!
History will be made in Qatar at the World Cup on Wednesday, as Canada make their long awaited return to the competition for the first time since 1986. However, they face a difficult opening day assignment in the competition, as they take on Belgium. There will be an interesting opening match in Group F at the World Cup, as Belgium look to get off to the perfect start against Canada. There is certainly a sense that Roberto Martinez’s side may have missed their perfect opportunity to win a piece of silverware, as their golden age of talent is coming towards its end. However, they still looked extremely formidable throughout qualification. But, their recent form has been pretty underwhelming, as they have claimed just a single victory in their previous three matches. That victory was secured against Wales, but they have lost each of their previous two. Their most recent loss was suffered in their final warm-up fixture, as they lost 2-1 against Egypt last week. But, few would be surprised to see them get back on track in this opening World Cup fixture. Canada’s qualification was one of the big stories coming into the World Cup, and they will be looking for a number of historic records. The nations has never won a match at the competition, while they have also failed to score in their previous three fixtures at the World Cup. But, they showed throughout qualification that they are a team well worth keeping an eye out for. Canada comes into the competition after having recorded a victory in their last warm-up fixture, as they recorded a 2-1 win against Japan last week. Steven Vitoria scored the first goal in that win, before the success was wrapped up by Lucas Cavallini in the 95th minute. Belgium and Canada will meet at the World Cup for the first time in their respective histories on Wednesday. There has been just one previous meeting between the nations, with Belgium claiming victory in a friendly in 1989 with a 2-0 scoreline in Ottawa. This will be a thrilling fixture between two nations that like to play on the front foot. We could see Canada scoring their first ever World Cup goal against Belgium, but it may count for very little as we still expect Belgium to get the victory. Make sure to bet on Belgium vs Canada with 22Bet!
The runners-up from the World Cup four years ago will open their account for the tournament in Qatar in the early game on Wednesday. Croatia will be looking to go a step further in the competition this year, but they face a pretty difficult test in their opening fixture against Morocco. Croatia came close to landing a first World Cup success four years ago, and much of the squad will once again be representing the nation in Qatar this year. While they will be one of the oldest teams at the World Cup, there is little doubt that when the lights shine the brightest, Croatia are always able to raise their game to new heights. Croatia should come into this fixture extremely confident, as they were excellent throughout their Nations League campaign this year. In six fixtures, they suffered just one defeat. During their campaign, they registered wins against France and Denmark away from home, and they have claimed victories in each of their previous five international fixtures. However, Morocco could pose a decent threat against Croatia in this opening day fixture in Group F. The African nation will be playing in the World Cup for the sixth time, with their best showing coming in 1986, as they reached the round of 16. However, they have won just one fixture at the World Cup in their previous three appearances. Their recent form this year has been very strong, as they have picked up victories in four of their previous four international fixtures. They come into the tournament this year after having recorded a 3-0 win in their final warm-up match against Georgia. Morocco and Croatia have never previously faced off at the World Cup. Meanwhile, they have only met on one previous occasion. That fixture came in 1996, with the sides playing out a 2-2 draw. There were three red cards in that fixture, with Croatia eventually claiming victory on penalties. Croatia has an excellent record in major tournament, and they have a perfect record against nations from Africa, having beaten sides from the continent in each of the previous two editions. We could see that run being maintained on Wednesday, as we could see Croatia landing a 2-0 win. Make sure to bet on Morocco vs Croatia with 22Bet!
Spain could be one of the dark horse teams that may go pretty far in the World Cup this year. However, they will be looking to get off to the best possible start against Costa Rica, as it could be a close fight for top spot between themselves and Germany in Group E. Group E looks set to be a very close fight for top spot in the standings, as both Spain and Germany will have their sights set on achieving that finish. Spain are previous winners of the World Cup, with their only success coming back in 2010. However, their performances in the competition have been underwhelming since. They crashed out in the group stage of the 2014 competition, before losing to Russia in the round of 16 four years ago. However, their recent form coming into the competition in Qatar has been relatively strong, as they have won their previous two, and also claimed victories in four of their last five matches. The Spanish claimed a victory in their final warm up fixture last week, beating Jordan 3-1. Costa Rica are the big outsiders to reach the next round of the World Cup this year, as they have been drawn in a very testing group. They come into this after being knocked out in the group stage of the tournament four years ago, which came after their best showing at the World Cup in 2014, where they reached the quarterfinals. However, their recent form has been fairly strong, as they have picked up four victories in their previous five international fixtures. Their latest win was recorded against Nigeria at the beginning of this month. The goals in that 2-0 success were scored by Oscar Duarte and Kendall Watson. This will be the first time that Costa Rica and Spain have clashed at the World Cup. However, there have been three previous meetings between the sides, with the Spanish having won on two occasions. The other fixture between the sides saw a draw played out. I like Spain’s chances of going far in the World Cup this year, and I would expect them to get off to the best possible start at Al Thumama Stadium. I could see the Spanish claiming a 2-0 win in their opening fixture. Make sure to bet on Spain vs Costa Rica with 22Bet!
Group E in the World Cup finally gets underway on Wednesday, as Germany look to open their account with a victory against Japan. This opening fixture between the nations will be played at the Khalifa International Stadium, but can Hansi Flick’s side begin with a victory? Many believe Group E to be one of the more straightforward groups to predict at the World Cup this year, as Germany and Spain are heavily expected to make it through to the next round. Germany has been in decent form throughout this year, with their only defeat since June coming against Hungary in the Nations League. Germany also warmed up for their opening match at the World Cup last week, as they edged to a 1-0 victory against Oman. The only goal in that fixture was scored with ten minutes remaining by Niclas Fullkrug. This will be a historic World Cup campaign for Germany, as they will be playing in the competition for the 20th time. They also have an excellent recent record at the World Cup, having reached the semi-finals in four of the previous five tournaments. Japan has an excellent record of reaching the World Cup, as they will be playing in the competition for the sixth consecutive occasion in Qatar. Their joint best showing at the tournament saw them reach the round of 16, which was something that they achieved for the third time in Russia four years ago. Their recent form has been relatively solid, as they have lost just once in their previous four internationals. During that run, they recorded a 2-0 win against the USA. However, their final prep match before the tournament ended in defeat against Canada last week. This will be the first time that the two nations have clashed at the World Cup. Both of the two previous meetings have come in international friendlies, with the latest fixture ending in a 2-2 draw in 2006. Interestingly, the previous seven goals scored in this fixture have all been netted in the second half. Japan could have players that may pose questions of Germany in this opening day match-up. However, we still struggle to see past the Germans claiming victory in their opening match in Group E, and we could see them landing a 2-0 victory. Make sure to bet on Germany vs Japan with 22Bet!
The reigning world champions open their 2022 World Cup campaign on Tuesday evening, as France open their defence against Australia at Al Janoub Stadium. Australia will be looking to produce one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history in Qatar. There will be a lot of pressure on France as the World Cup gets underway in Qatar. The French will open their campaign at Al Janoub Stadium on Tuesday evening, as they look for an opening victory in Group D. France will be looking to achieve something that no nation has done since 1962 and successfully defend the World Cup that they won four years ago. France were excellent four years ago, as they won the competition for the second time in their history. They ended their 2018 campaign without suffering a defeat, as they claimed victories in six of the seven games that they played. However, their recent form could be a cause for concern. France has won just once in their previous six games, and come into the World Cup having lost their previous fixture against Denmark. Australia were made to work extremely hard to qualify for the World Cup this year, as they needed to come through an inter-confederation playoff. The Aussies will be playing in the World Cup for the fifth straight tournament, but they have made the round of 16 on just one occasion. Furthermore, they haven’t picked up a win at the World Cup since a group stage success at the 2010 edition of the competition. Australia has picked up victories in their previous five internationals, which means that they at least come into the competition in solid form. Australia and France have locked horns on five previous occasions. France have recorded three wins, which includes a 2-1 success at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Australia’s only win against France came in the Confederations Cup in 2001. This should be a pretty comfortable opening game in the World Cup for France. We struggle to see past the French claiming victory, and they could put an early marker down for the competition with a 3-0 victory. We also wouldn’t be surprised to see Kylian Mbappe open his account for the tournament at the first opportunity. Make sure to bet on France vs Australia with 22Bet!
Denmark against Tunisia is the second match on the agenda on Tuesday, with the Education City Stadium hosting the fixture. The Danes enjoyed an excellent run to the semi-finals in the EUROs last summer, and they could be a solid dark horse contender in Qatar. Denmark may be one of the nations that are best placed to go far at the World Cup this year. They come into the competition after a fine run to the semi-finals at the European Championships last summer, and they have made at least the round of 16 in all but one of their five appearances at the World Cup. Strangely, Denmark went undefeated at the World Cup in 2018, as they were beaten in the round of 16 in a penalty shootout. Their recent form has also been extremely solid, as they have won five of their previous seven games, which includes two wins against the reigning world champions. Their latest international fixture came against France, as they won 2-0 in Copenhagen. There is an expectancy that the European teams in Group D look the strongest, but Tunisia may be the nation that could spring a surprise. The African nation did exceptionally well to qualify for the World Cup finals, and they will be competing in the competition for just the fifth time in their history. However, they are yet to make it out of the group stage. They were knocked out at this stage in the 2018 World Cup, as they lost two of the three games that they played in Russia. Overall, they have won just two from 15 games at the World Cup, and they come into the tournament having lost their final warm-up fixture against Brazil. There has been just one previous international meeting between these nations. That match was won by Denmark in 2002, as the Danes claimed victory in preparation for the World Cup in South Korea and Japan. I like Denmark’s chances of going far in the competition this year, and they could have a decent chance of topping Group D. Therefore, we expect Denmark to open their campaign with a 2-0 win against Tunisia. Make sure to bet on Denmark vs Tunisia with 22Bet!
There will be an interesting match-up at Stadium 974 on Tuesday afternoon, as two of the sides that will be in direct opposition for a qualification place will lock horns. Mexico and Poland will both be aware that they are likely competing for second spot, but that could make this opening match-up extremely important. There will be a fascinating battle at Stadium 974 on Tuesday afternoon, as Poland and Mexico clash in Group C. Both nations will be hopeful of reaching the next round of the competition, but their future in the tournament could hinge on their result in this opening match of the group stage. Poland may be the slight favourites in the betting to claim victory in this fixture. However, they have failed to make it out of the group stage in each of their previous three appearances. They were involved in the 2018 World Cup, but they won just once in three games as they crashed out. Poland secured their place at the World Cup finals with a 2-0 success against Sweden in the playoffs, while they warmed up for the competition earlier this week with a 1-0 win against Chile. Mexico has an excellent record in the World Cup, as they have reached the round of 16 in each of the previous seven editions of the tournament. They have won at least two games in the previous two competitions, but defensively, they have always appeared to be vulnerable. They haven’t had the perfect preparation for the tournament this year, as they have lost two of their previous three international fixtures. Their most recent defeat was suffered earlier this week, as they lost 2-1 against Sweden. However, they will likely have a fully fit squad to select from for this fixture. These sides match up extremely closely, and that is evident in the fact that both nations have recorded three wins each from the last eight meetings. However, Poland hasn’t beaten Mexico in the previous five, with their latest defeat coming in November 2017. However, Poland did win the only previous meeting between the nations at the World Cup. Group C is too close to call, and both Mexico and Poland stand fine chances of taking second behind Argentina. However, our slight preference is for Poland, and Robert Lewandowski’s prowess in front of goal could make all the difference. Make sure to bet on Mexico vs Poland with 22Bet!
One of the big favourites to win the 2022 World Cup will open their tournament on Tuesday morning, as Argentina take on Saudi Arabia at Lusail Stadium. All eyes will be on Lionel Messi, as the PSG ace looks to get his team off to the dream start in Group C. A lot has been said about Argentina in the build-up to the 2022 World Cup, as they come into the tournament with a 36-game unbeaten record. However, the only trophy that they have won during that period has been the Copa America. In truth, they have been labelled as dark horses for the competition that much that they are now among the most fancied teams. Argentina hasn’t won the World Cup since 1986, and the closest that they have come since was when they were beaten in the final by Germany in 2014. However, this looks to be an Argentina team that is pulling in the same direction, as they have won their previous five games without conceding a goal. Their final warm-up game came against the UAE, as they ran out 5-0 winners. Lionel Messi was among the scorers in that win, while Julian Alvarez and Angel Di Maria also netted in the win. This will be Saudi Arabia’s sixth appearance at the World Cup, but they will be looking to make it out of the group stage for just the second time. They managed to qualify for the 2018 tournament, but they won just once in three games. It is expected that they will find life very difficult once again in Qatar, as they come up against Poland and Mexico. Saudi Arabia has won just twice in their previous four international fixtures, but confidence would have been taken from their final warm-up game, despite suffering a 1-0 defeat against Croatia. However, this is a undeniably the biggest test that they will face at the competition. This will be the fifth competitive meeting between Argentina and Saudi Arabia. Argentina has recorded two wins, but the most recent meeting in 2012 saw the nations play out a 0-0 draw. This will be a match that the world will be watching, as many expect Argentina to go deep in the competition this season. We fully expect them to open their Group C campaign with a fine performance, and we could see them comfortably securing a 3-0 win. Make sure to bet on Argentina vs Saudi Arabia with 22Bet!
It’s finally here. The time for talk is over, and on Sunday, the World Cup 2022 opening ceremony comes from the Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor. The first match follows with host nation Qatar taking on Ecuador in Group A from 19:00 GMT in a fixture due to be broadcast worldwide. This will be the first time the FIFA tournament has been staged in the Arab World, and Qatar has been involved. The 22nd renewal will also be the only time in history the fixtures haven’t been played in the summer months of June and July. All matches were postponed for six months to accommodate the dangerously high summer temperatures in the region. Which nation will enter the history books as the winner of the World Cup 2022? That remains to be seen, but it will be great fun finding out. The action begins on Sunday, 20th November, and between then and the final on Sunday, 18th December, 32 teams will be whittled down to just two. Those sides will then face off in the final a week before Christmas to decide the champion. Brazil is the pre-tournament favourite, sitting just ahead of World Cup 2018 champions France who lifted the trophy in Moscow. England and Argentina also feature near the top of the outright market, while Spain and Germany are expected to go close. You can have your say on the best the World Cup offers at 22bet. This leading online sportsbook offers generous odds and exciting promotions. There’s the trophy winner, top goalscorer, groups, matches, and more. You’ll find something for everyone on the website or mobile site, and the markets are ready to enjoy now. Before making your prediction on game one from Qatar, read our in-depth expert preview with predictions included. This page aims to give our readers the information needed to make strong predictions on the game. Sunday will be an important day in the history of Qatar’s national football team as it makes its first steps into the World Cup proper. Not only will the cash-rich nation entertain the World’s soccer fans for the first time, but the team will also be playing in the tournament’s group stages, which has never happened before. They have a guaranteed minimum of three matches in Group A, where they’ll place Ecuador, Senegal, and the Netherlands. Will they find a way out of the group and into the knockout stages of the play? It’s certainly possible at this stage, but the Netherlands are early favourites with pundits to top the pool. Each group’s two best-performing sides will progress to the Round of 16, where the competition changes from a round-robin format to a straight knockout. Extra time and penalties will be used if a game ends level at full-time. And that’s when things get serious. In the group stages, a draw isn’t a bad result for either team – especially in this match – and we often see two well-matched sides settle for a share of the spoils. But that’s no good in the later rounds when the play always ends with a winner and a loser. The winner goes through to the next round, while the loser goes home. Qatar has been written off by most pundits making predictions on which team will win the World Cup, but they have a chance of taking three points from this match. A winning start at home against a team also expected to struggle this winter could be the difference between going through and going out. Three points gained on Sunday would catapult Qatar into the running, especially if the group’s other match between Senegal and the Netherlands produces a winner. Victory on matchday one will boost confidence in the Qatar camp. All the hype pre-match focuses on Qatar’s first World Cup and its need to make a winning start. It’s always good when a host nation goes deep into a competition, helping build energy around the games and attract a bigger audience. Many in Qatar will be excited about this match, but if Ecuador can play the bad guy role and upset the hosts, they will give themselves a great chance of going through. There are many competitive fixtures from round one, and this ...
Wales will make their return to the World Cup after an absence of over 60 years on Monday evening. Their opening night assignment may be their biggest in Qatar, as they clash with USA, who are their most likely rivals to finish second in Group B. There will be a historic return to the World Cup for Wales on matchday one in Group B on Monday evening. The Welsh haven’t participated at a World Cup since 1958, as they reached the quarterfinals. Therefore, for most the players involved against the United States, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, Wales are in Qatar on merit, as they are fully deserving of their place at the World Cup. They enjoyed a strong group stage run, but they eventually needed the playoffs to ensure their spot. In the biggest game played in Wales for over 50 years, it was the Welsh that progressed to Qatar, as they narrowly beat Ukraine 1-0. However, since then, Wales has failed to win their previous five, conceding nine goals. The United States are the current favourites to progress from Group B alongside England in Qatar, and this could be their best opportunity in many years for a strong run in the World Cup. They boast a very exciting young squad of players, with the majority playing in some of the most competitive leagues across Europe. However, like Wales, their recent form has also been relatively weak. Since a 5-0 win against Grenada in July, the States are without a victory in their previous four international fixtures. Their previous two display will likely be the most concerning, as they were beaten 2-0 by Japan, before being held to a 0-0 draw by Saudi Arabia in September. This will be the third international meeting between the USA and Wales. USA won the first meeting between the nations in 2003, before the latest ended in a 0-0 draw in November 2020. This could be one of the biggest games in Group B, as both Wales and USA have dreams of reaching the knockout round at the World Cup. Therefore, we could see it being a cagey match between the two nations, with the end result likely to be a draw. Make sure to bet on USA vs Wales with 22Bet!
Group B at the World Cup gets underway on Monday afternoon, and one of the pre-tournament favourites will be looking to put down an early marker. England open their campaign against Iran at the Khalifa International Stadium, and anything other than three points would put them under immense pressure. It still feels as though Gareth Southgate is building something with this exciting England side, but the time for a trophy to show for all his hard work appears to be now. The Three Lions reached the semi-finals at the previous World Cup in Russia, before they were beaten finalists at EURO 2020. However, England has questions to answer in Qatar this winter, as their form in the lead up to this competition has done very little to merit support. The Three Lions finished bottom of their Nations League group this year, as they failed to win in six fixtures against Hungary, Germany and Italy. In fact, their only goals from open play during that period were scored in their most recent fixture against Germany at Wembley. That performance is one that England fans will be clinging to when it comes to dreams of winning a first major tournament since 1966, as the Three Lions battled back from 2-0 down. A familiar face for English football fans will be sitting in the opposite dugout on Monday, as Iran are managed by former Manchester United assistant Carlos Queiroz. Iran will be competing at the World Cup for the sixth time, but they are yet to progress beyond the group stage. However, they shouldn’t be taken lightly by any nation, as they have some fine recent form to their name. They are unbeaten in their previous three international fixtures, with their standout win coming at the end of September against Uruguay. Still, qualifying from this group appears to be a tall order. It will be a historic moment for Iran at the World Cup, as they will come up against England for the first time in their international history. England fans are already coming into the World Cup with little hope of winning the tournament, which means that Gareth Southgate can ill-afford a poor performance from his team in the opening game. We expect the Three Lions to get the win, but a 1-0 win may be the most likely result. Make sure to bet on England vs Iran with 22Bet!
The World Cup officially gets underway on Sunday, as host nation Qatar takes on Ecuador. However, the two favourites to progress out of Group A will clash on Monday afternoon, as Senegal and the Netherlands clash at Al Thumama Stadium. Two sides that have been tipped up for a solid run at the World Cup this year will clash in the big fixture in Group A. Senegal and the Netherlands are expected to be battling for top spot, but the sting has been taken out of this match slightly following the news that Bayern Munich ace Sadio Mane is unavailable for the African nation. However, they should still feel confident coming into this fixture, as they have enjoyed one of their best years. They were crowned AFCON champions for the first time in their history at the start of the year, before once again beating Egypt in a pulsating World Cup qualifier over the summer. Their previous best showing at the World Cup saw them reach the quarterfinals in 2002, but they are ranked higher than ever before, which should give them every chance of going deep in the tournament this year. The Netherlands have been widely tipped as a dark horse contender for the World Cup this year. Their record since the return of Louis van Gaal has been exceptionally strong, and they have already caught the eye against some European heavyweights this year. The pick of their performances came away from home against Belgium in June, as they hammered Roberto Martinez’s team 4-1. Holland come into this World Cup opener having gone 15 without defeat, and many are expecting the Dutch to have no issues in reaching the next round as group winners. However, victory in Qatar would be a historic occasion, as they have never previously won the World Cup. This will be the first time that the Netherlands and Senegal have ever clashed in an international fixture. Mane’s absence certainly leaves a hole in the Senegalese attack, and it would have been a much more captivating match should the Bayern star be involved. However, we could still see this being the best match in Group A, but it looks hard to see past the Netherlands putting down a very early marker in Qatar. Make sure to bet on Senegal vs Netherlands with 22Bet!

The final game in Ligue 1 before the break in play for the World Cup takes place in Monaco, as Marseille are the visitors. Both sides will be looking to sign off at the break with a victory, but which team will pick up a big victory in their hunt to achieve European qualification this term. There will be an interesting fixture in Ligue 1 before the break for the World Cup. Monaco and Marseille are both in the hunt for a European finish this term, and both could move into the top three in the standings with a victory this weekend. Marseille come into this fixture just above Monaco in the standings, as they have a superior goal difference. Marseille has won eight from 14 games this term, but they have registered just a single victory from their last five matches in the league. A much-needed return to winning ways came last weekend, as they registered a huge 1-0 victory at home against Lyon. The only goal in the win was scored just before half time by Samuel Gigot Monaco come into this fixture in slightly better recent form. Both sides have identical records coming into this fixture, as Monaco has also registered eight wins from 14 games this term. However, the hosts have been most productive in front of goal this term, as they have scored 27 times. Monaco will be looking for a third straight victory in Ligue 1 this weekend. They recorded a second straight win in their previous fixture, as they landed a 2-0 win on the road against Toulouse. The opening goal in that game was scored early in the second half by Aleksandr Golovkin. Breel Embolo netted the clinching goal in the fixture with half an hour remaining. Monaco registered a second victory in three fixtures against Marseille in the previous meeting between the two. However, Marseille still boasts the superior record, as they have recorded four wins from the previous seven matches between the sides. This should be an entertaining final fixture in Ligue 1 before the international break. Monaco come into the fixture in slightly better form, and that could be pivotal. Therefore, we could see the home side getting the victory to move into the Champions League places this weekend. Make sure to bet on Monaco vs Marseille with 22Bet!
PSG have easily stretched ahead in Ligue 1, and they will be looking to record a fifth straight victory in the French top-flight this weekend. However, Auxerre will be looking for a shock victory, as they aim to move clear of the bottom four places in the standings. PSG will play their final game before the World Cup break in France this Sunday, as they host Auxerre in Paris. The French champions have been in excellent form throughout the season this term, as they are one of the few teams in Europe that are yet to suffer a defeat domestically. PSG has won each of their previous four fixtures in Ligue 1, which has helped them establish a five point advantage at the top of the standings. Their latest win was recorded last Sunday, as the Parisians earned a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Lorient. Neymar scored the opening goal in that fixture in the opening ten minutes. However, the match-winning goal was scored by an unlikely source, with Danilo Pereira netting the winner in the final nine minutes. Auxerre’s main aim this season will be to avoid relegation in the French top-flight. They will face a battle to achieve that target, as they currently sit 15th in the standings after 14 rounds of fixtures this season. They have recorded three wins so far this term, and just a single victory in their previous five. However, they come into this fixture having gone two without defeat in France. Their latest fixture came last Friday, as they played out a 1-1 draw away from home against Troyes. A point was saved by Auxerre in the final five minutes, with Gaetan Perrin netting the equalising goal. This will be the first Ligue 1 meeting between these sides since 2012. PSG’s record in the fixture is fairly weak, as they have recorded just a single victory from the previous five league meetings against Auxerre. The previous meeting between the sides ended in a 1-1 draw in 2012. Auxerre has been a bogey-side for PSG since their financial takeover. However, given the form of both sides coming into this fixture, we still find it hard to see past PSG taking the victory this weekend. We could see the French league leaders recording a big win in their final fixture before the World Cup gets underway. Make sure to bet on PSG vs Auxerre with 22Bet!
AC Milan’s recent form has allowed Napoli to open up an advantage at the top of the standings. However, they will be looking to chip away at their rival’s advantage this weekend by claiming a vital home win against the in-form Fiorentina. AS Roma vs Torino Prediction: Serie A Match on 13.11.2022 AC Milan’s grip on the Serie A title looks to be weakening, as they come into this final fixture before the break in play trailing Napoli by eight points. Milan’s recent form has been detrimental to their chances, as they have picked up just one victory from their previous three fixtures. However, they still sit three points clear of fifth-placed Atalanta at this stage of the campaign. Milan weren’t able to get back to their best in midweek, as they played out a very disappointing 0-0 draw against Cremonese. The reigning Italian champions dominated the possession in that fixture, but they could only register five shots on target. They will need to be more productive in the final third this weekend. Fiorentina may have started the season very slowly, but they are looking a much more progressive unit at this stage of the season. The Italian giants currently sit tenth in the standings, but they have been in their best form this season over the past month. Fiorentina has won their previous three fixtures, and will be looking for a fourth straight win this weekend. The Italian side edged to another win in midweek, as they landed a 2-1 home victory against Salernitana. Giacomo Bonaventura opened the scoring after 15 minutes, but the winning goal was netted by Luka Jovic with just nine minutes of the 90 remaining. Milan won this exact fixture 1-0 last season. However, Fiorentina won the other meeting between the sides last term. But, that 4-3 victory last season was their only victory in the previous five meetings between the sides in the league. Milan has won three of the previous five. This will be a difficult challenge for AC Milan in Serie A this weekend. Fiorentina’s recent form has been exceptionally strong, and we fancy their chances of scoring this weekend. However, a score draw could be the most likely outcome. Make sure to bet on AC Milan vs Fiorentina with 22Bet!
The final round of Serie A fixtures before the World Cup break takes place this weekend. AS Roma will be looking to get back on track, as they have gone two without victory. Meanwhile, Torino will be looking for a second straight victory in Serie A. AS Roma remain in the hunt for a Champions League spot this season, but they will need to get back on track after going two without victory in Serie A. The Italian giants currently sit sixth in the standings after winning eight of the 14 games that they have played this term. At this stage of the season, they sit just a point off the top four places in the Italian top-flight, but they have picked up just one win in their previous four fixtures. Jose Mourinho was frustrated with his side’s performance in midweek, as he revealed that he was particularly unpleased with the performance of one player in his team. Roma played out a 1-1 draw against Sassuolo on Wednesday. Tammy Abraham put the Italian side ahead after 80 minutes, but they were pegged back five minutes later. Torino could be well placed to inflict more misery on Roma this weekend, as they have been in solid form over recent weeks. The Italian side has won three of their previous four fixtures, and they currently sit ninth in the standings. Victory on Saturday could put them within three points of the top six in the Serie A table. Torino’s strong run of form continued in midweek, as they recorded a 2-0 home victory against Sampdoria. The scoring in that fixture was opened after 29 minutes by Nemanja Radonjic, before the match was settled with a second goal by Nikola Vlasic with just over half an hour remaining. AS Roma vs Torino Head to Head Roma has a strong recent record in this fixture, as they have won the previous two. They were 1-0 winners in this exact fixture last season, and they have not conceded in the previous two against Torino. Torino’s only win in the previous five meetings was recorded in April 2021, as they won 3-1 at home. This won’t be an easy fixture for Roma in Serie A this weekend, as Torino has been in excellent recent form. Draws are becoming an issue for Mourinho’s side, and we could see this fixture ending in that result once again. Make sure to bet on AS Roma vs Torino with 22Bet!
The leaders in the Bundesliga will play their final game before the World Cup break, as Bayern Munich will be looking for a sixth straight victory to extend their advantage at the top of the standings. Schalke will be hoping to spring a surprise and record just a third win of the season. It has been a fine response by the German leaders following Union Berlin’s strong start to the season. Since relinquishing top spot, Bayern has recorded five straight victories, which has seen them move back to the top of the standings. Their advantage currently stands at four points, and they could stretch that lead to seven points with victory on Saturday against Schalke. Bayern has scored a league-high of 47 goals this term, and they have allowed just 13 goals. The Bavarian giants have lost just once this term. Their latest victory was recorded in midweek, as Bayern smashed Werder Bremen 6-1. Serge Gnabry was in excellent form, as he netted a hat-trick. Meanwhile, further goals were added by Jamal Musiala, Leon Goretzka and Mathys Tel. Schalke’s start to the season has been far from ideal, as the German side sits bottom of the standings. They already find themselves five points from safety at this stage of the campaign, as they have lost nine times from the 14 games that they have played. However, they did pick up a much-needed victory in their previous fixture. Schalke’s second victory of the season was picked up on Wednesday evening, as they recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win at home against Mainz. The winning goal in that fixture was scored after just ten minutes, with Simon Terodde netting the only goal in the fixture. Bayern has an exceptionally strong record in this fixture, as the German giants have won their previous seven fixtures against Schalke. They have scored a total of 17 goals without conceding in the previous three meetings. The last Schalke win in this fixture was way back in December 2010. This should be one of the more straightforward fixtures in the Bundesliga this weekend, as Bayern Munich look extremely strong. We could see the Bavarian giants taking the victory, with over 3.5 goals being scored at the Allianz Arena. Make sure to bet on Bayern Munich vs Schalke with 22Bet!
Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim play their final games in the Bundesliga before the World Cup break on Saturday. Both sides are just outside the European places coming into this fixture, which means a victory could give them the best chance of getting into the battle when the season resumes. It has been a solid start to the season for Wolfsburg, and they will be looking to continue their recent strong run of form by picking up a fourth straight victory in the league on Saturday. The German side is currently sitting five points off the top six places in the standings, and are six points behind the top four places in the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg’s recent form has been extremely strong, as they are unbeaten in their previous five fixtures. During that run, they have picked up three wins and two draws, with all their victories being recorded in their previous three fixtures. They recorded a third straight victory in the league on Tuesday evening, as Wolfsburg registered a 2-0 home win against Borussia Dortmund. The scoring in that game was opened by Micky van de Ven, with Lukas Nmecha rounding off the victory with a second goal in the 91st minute. Hoffenheim has also started the new season relatively well, as they sit tenth in the Bundesliga standings. They have won five from 14 games this season. However, their recent form has been slightly disappointing, as they have failed to win in their previous four fixtures in the Bundesliga. During that run, they have lost three times. Their most recent defeat was suffered on Wednesday evening, as Hoffenheim were beaten on the road by Eintracht Frankfurt. Christoph Baumgartner and Ozan Kabak scored the goals in that 4-2 defeat for Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim has a fine recent record in this fixture, as they have recorded victories in each of the previous three meetings. This exact fixture was won 3-1 by Hoffenheim last season. However, both teams have found the net in each of the previous eight meetings between the sides. Wolfsburg’s latest win in this fixture came in November 2020. Wolfsburg has been in excellent form in recent weeks, and that could be telling for their chances in this fixture on Saturday. Therefore, we could see the visitors taking the win to go into the World Cup break on a high. However, we could see both teams finding the net. Make sure to bet on Hoffenheim vs Wolfsburg with 22Bet!
It has been a damaging first half to the season for Bayer Leverkusen, but they will have one final opportunity to move clear of the relegation places in the Bundesliga before the World Cup this weekend, as they take on Stuttgart. Xabi Alonso’s reign at Bayer Leverkusen had started slowly, but it would seem as though his plans are beginning to reach home among the players. Leverkusen’s position in the Bundesliga looked bleak just a month ago, but back-to-back wins has put a different complexion on their outlook coming into this final game before the World Cup break. The German side recorded a second straight win this week on Wednesday evening, as Leverkusen recorded a 2-1 victory on the road against FC Köln. Both goals for Leverkusen were scored in the final half an hour of that win, with Nadiem Amiri levelling the scores after 65 minutes, before the winner was netted by Moussa Diaby six minutes later. A third straight win in the Bundesliga would be massive for their chances of making a charge towards the European places. This will also be a big fixture for Stuttgart this weekend, as they come into this fixture sitting just above the relegation places in the Bundesliga standings. They have picked up just three wins from 14 games this term, as they sit 15th, just three points clear of the bottom three places. However, all three wins have come in their previous five matches. Like Leverkusen, Stuttgart recorded a victory in the midweek round of fixtures, as the German side dramatically beat Hertha Berlin 2-1 on Tuesday evening. The match-winning goal was scored in the 98th minute, with Konstantinos Mavropanos netting the winner. The early opener for Stuttgart in that game was scored by Serhou Guirassy. Leverkusen has a very strong record in this fixture, as they have recorded wins in each of the previous three. They are also unbeaten in six matches against Stuttgart. This exact fixture was won 4-2 by Leverkusen last season. This is an interesting fixture in the Bundesliga this weekend, as both sides have turned their campaigns around in the previous five games. However, the preference is for Leverkusen, as their recent form has been extremely encouraging. Make sure to bet on Leverkusen vs Stuttgart with 22Bet!
Two underperforming teams in the Premier League and level on 14 points, West Ham and Leicester, come head-to-head at the London Stadium on Saturday at 16:00 GMT. West Ham will be looking for a first win after two consecutive losses, whereas Leicester will be looking to follow up their win at Goodison Park with another good result in London. David Moyes’ side have been inconsistent this season. They have won just four times in their opening 14 rounds of fixtures in the league. The Hammers have also scored just 12 goals while conceding 15 in this run. West Ham will be looking to turn their form around, after losing 1-2 at home to Crystal Palace at the death last time out. The disappointment was palpable for Moyes’ charges, and they will be motivated heading into the clash with Leicester on Saturday. After a poor start to this term in the league, the Foxes have seen an upturn in form in recent matches. In the last 5 outings, they have 3 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw This run has seen the Foxes collect 10 points, which has added to their current total of 14 on the table. Leicester have also moved out of the relegation zone and onto 14th on the table. The Foxes manager will look to maintain the form in the clash with West Ham on Saturday. David Moyes will have a full complement of his squad from which to choose the team to face Leicester. This is a massive boost for Moyes in this busy schedule, and as he looks to turn his side’s form around ahead of the World Cup break. Brendan Rodgers has to deal with the absences of right-back Ricardo Pereira (ACL) and left-back Ryan Bertrand (knee surgery). West Ham will look to bounce back from the disappointing 1-2 defeat to Palace last weekend. They will come out swinging to get the fast start they need to control the match. Expect Leicester to take the sting out of the game and slowly establish their influence on the game through patient possession and probing passing. Leicester have the confidence and form they need to win this match and take the three points. Make sure to bet on West Ham vs Leicester with 22Bet!
Tottenham will look to regain their early-season form and consistency when they host Leeds at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Saturday at 16:00 GMT. Antonio Conte’s side will be hoping to put the defeat at home to Liverpool last Sunday behind them and get back to their winning ways, whereas Leeds will look to extend their current winning streak to three on the bounce. Two wins and three defeats from the last five league outings for Tottenham mean that they have collected six points and dropped nine in this run. This poor run of form has seen a gap open up between Conte’s side and their North London neighbours Arsenal to eight points. This run has also seen Tottenham drop from third to fourth, as Newcastle has leapfrogged them into third place. Antonio Conte will point toward a punishing schedule that has seen his side juggle domestic and European duties and an international break in between in the rash towards the World Cup break. However, Conte will also be looking to get the best out of the squad ahead of the clash with Leeds. The second half against Liverpool displayed fight, determination, and aggression that can win matches; the Italian tactician will insist his side perform at their best to win the three points against Leeds on Saturday. Jesse Marsch has seen his side respond brilliantly in the league with back-to-back wins away to Liverpool (1-2) and at home to Bournemouth (4-3). These enthralling wins would have been important for the morale and confidence of the Leeds squad. The performances also demonstrate faith in the manager of the squad, which will augur well for Leeds for the rest of the season. Up next for Leeds is a tough examination at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday against a wounded team looking to reestablish its top-four credentials. Marsch will send his team out to play their trademark style characterized by high-energy, high-tempo, hard running, and aggressive pressing. This will be designed to minimize Tottenham’s dominance and help create chances for Leeds in the final third. Richarlison is likely to miss the match against Leeds on Saturday. The 25-year-old Brazilian centre-forward is sidelined with a calf injury. Tottenham will also be without the services of centre-back Cristian Romero; the 24-year-old is nursing a hamstring injury. Antonio Conte will also be unable to call upon Heung-min Son; the 30-year-old is sidelined with a facial fracture since November 2nd. Jesse Marsch will be without right-back Stuart Dallas, who is nursing a Femoral Fracture; the 31-year-old has already missed 22 matches for Leeds. Left-back Junior Firpo (knee) and Luis Sinisterra (foot) are also sidelined due to injury and are, therefore, unavailable for selection. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be expecting a reaction to the Liverpool defeat last time out. Conte and his side will be primed to give an energetic and disciplined performance against a potentially dangerous Leeds side. Expect Tottenham to be pragmatic in their approach with a compact defensive structure but a dynamic and fast attack. They will attack with pace during transitions. Leeds will be energetic and will set the tempo of the match with their frenetic pressing and quick passing from the back. They will seek to pass through Spurs to create chances. Expect Tottenham to win the match and take the three points. Make sure to bet on Tottenham vs Leeds with 22Bet!
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will be looking to build on their away win at Tottenham when they host Southampton at Anfield on Saturday at 16:00 GMT. Marooned in a relegation scrap, the Saints will be looking for a way out of the drop zone as they seek to get their first win in three attempts in the league. Jurgen Klopp will be the first to admit that his charges have not been performing at the levels expected of them. However, the German tactician will insist that any such judgment be reserved for the end of the season. This shows that he is hopeful of turning Liverpool’s form around for the rest of the season and climbing the table. The 1-2 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was morale-boosting. Their first-half performance was brilliant. Although the second half was more of a scarp, the Reds had the character and mental steeliness to hold on to the result. Klopp will expect his side to take advantage of that result and make it two wins in a row in the league, as they seek to go into the World Cup break on an upward trajectory. Southampton will show up at Anfield without Ralph Hasenhuttl, who was fired ahead of this clash, as results turned from bad to worse, and the Saints are increasingly looking like relegation candidates. Southampton are on a run of five matches where they have taken just five points. They currently sit 18th on the table, just 2 points off bottom-placed Nottingham Forest. The powers that be at St. Mary’s Stadium thought that a managerial change right now could be crucial in bolstering their side’s survival prospects this season. This backdrop is hardly ideal for Southampton when facing a resurgent Liverpool at Anfield. The individual(s) in charge of the Saints on Saturday will have the unenviable task of masterminding a performance against Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp cannot call on Arthur Melo, with the central midfielder out due to surgery, and is expected to be back on January 8th, 2023 earliest. Liverpool will also be without Luis Diaz (knee), Diogo Jota (calf), and Naby Keita (muscle). Keita is closing in on a return; however, the clash with Southampton might come too soon. The Saints will be without right-back Tino Livramento. The 19-year-old is sidelined with a cruciate ligament rupture since April 25th. However, the rest of the squad are available for selection in the clash against Liverpool on Saturday. Jurgen Klopp will focus strongly on his side’s performance to see the signs of his side returning to their high-pressing and high-intensity self. He will expect his charges to be switched on throughout the match, cut off any mistakes, and be thoroughly professional in this clash. Expect Liverpool to dominate the ball, control the tempo of the match, and force Southampton into their half for large swathes of the clash. Southampton will primarily be reactive in this match. They will defend their box in numbers. They will venture forward through counter-attack opportunities. They will also seek to leverage set pieces to pose an attacking threat to Liverpool. Liverpool will have the advantage to dominate this match. They will also have what they need to win this clash and take all three points on offer. Make sure to bet on Liverpool vs Southampton with 22Bet!
Defending champions, and second-placed, Man City, will continue the defence of their title when they host 11th-placed Brentford at the Etihad Stadium, on Saturday in the lunchtime kick-off at 13:30 GMT. Man City will be going for their fourth consecutive win whereas Brentford will be looking for their first win in four. Man City’s title defence is being powered by Erling Haaland’s form and goal-scoring exploits. The Norwegian has notched 18 goals in the league, which is almost half of the 39 goals Guardiola’s side have scored so far this term. Pep Guardiola’s side are the highest scorers in the league this season with 39 goals, which means that their form so far this season is dependent on their attacking effectiveness. The Spanish tactician will expect Haaland to continue playing a leading role in opening up defences and scoring goals to win his side the points they need to defend their title. This will remain the case when man City host Brentford on Saturday, as they look to get the 3 points to remain in touch or even leapfrog Arsenal to the top of the table. Thomas Frank and his charges will be looking to end their current four-match run without a triumph when they travel to face title chasers Man City at the Etihad. Brentford have drawn three times and lost once in their last four league outings. Frank will be disappointed that his men have not turned the draws they have had into draws. However, he will be satisfied with the character of the team this season, which means they have continued to collect points even when they are not playing at their best in the league. The Saturday clash with Man City will be a massive one for Frank and his charges because they are coming up against one of the most in-form teams of the league and the reigning champions in England. Discipline, energy, and tempo will be essential for the perfect performance they need to take anything from the Etihad. Kalvin Phillips is getting close to fitness; however, the clash against Brentford might come too soon for the England international. Man City will also be without right-back Kyle Walker who is sidelined with a groin injury. The 32-year-old England international has been on the sidelines since September 29th. Joao Cancelo will also miss after receiving a red card in the clash with Fulham. Other than these three, Guardiola will have the full complement of Man City from which to choose ahead of hosting Brentford. Thomas Frank will be without the services of left-back Aaron Hickey because he is sidelined with an ankle injury. The 20-year-old has been missing in action since October 10th, and he is expected to be back available for selection around 31st December, at the tail end of this year. Expect Man City to take control of proceedings at the Etihad with patient possession, crisp passing, and dictate the tempo of the match from midfield. Expect Brentford to be on the defensive for large swathes of the clash. They will rely heavily on counter-attacks and set pieces to create goal-scoring chances against Man City. Guardiola’s Man City will have the edge in this match. They will dominate and win the three points by scoring a few goals in the process. Make sure to bet on Man City vs Brentford with 22Bet!
In-form Newcastle will host the out-of-form Chelsea at St. James’ Park on Saturday at 18:30 GMT. Chelsea are looking to end a run of four winless fixtures in the league while Newcastle will be going for their fifth consecutive win as they have soared to third on the table. Almiron is the player that captures the spirit, confidence, and form of the Magpies at the moment. His goal against Southampton was his 6th in 7 fixtures. Although the team is in a good moment, Eddie Howe is getting the very best out of Almiron as his goal-scoring highlights. Newcastle’s form and confidence mean that they go into each game looking like winning, and with the in-form Almiron giving them the cutting edge up front; they will be the favourites against Chelsea on Saturday. Newcastle have lost just once this season. They have scored 28 goals while conceding just 11 in the process. They are a solid team with a potent attack, and Eddie Howe will hope their good form continues against Chelsea. The honeymoon is decidedly over in West London for Graham Potter as the Stamford Bridge hot seat gets ever hotter. As results have gone against him in recent matches, scrutiny of Potter has increased considerably. The defeat at home to Arsenal highlighted the impact of an injury-ravaged squad. But this result also invited scrutiny of Potter’s tactical choices and impact on the team since he took over. The spotlight is not about to turn away as Potter travels to Newcastle hot on the wheels of visiting the Etihad for the round three EFL Cup clash with Man City. Potter will hope for an improved performance against the flying Magpies as he looks to get break the current run of four without a win in the league, ahead of the World Cup break. Eddie Howe does not have any new injury worries. The only missing players include new signing Alexander Isak; the 23-year-old striker has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since September 20th. Right-back Emil Kraft is also sidelined with a cruciate ligament rupture. The injury list for the West London side is quite extensive. Ngolo Kante (hamstring), Wesley Fofana (knee), Reece James (knee), and Ben Chilwell (hamstring) are all sidelined for the long term. These internationals are also slated to miss the World Cup, which underscores the severity of their injuries. These injuries have left the Chelsea team lacking in balance, especially in defensive areas, highlighting the challenges Potter is facing ahead of the clash with Newcastle on Saturday. Eddie Howe and his charges will look to leverage the electric St. James’ Park atmosphere when they face Chelsea on Saturday as they look to extend their winning run to five on the trot in the league. Graham Potter will instruct his side to control the game through patient possession and take the sting out of the game before constructing their passing and movement to create chances. This will be a highly-charged encounter and Newcastle will look to break on the counter and make use of their in-form forwards, especially Almiron, to give them the goals they need to win the match. Newcastle have the form, confidence, and drive they need to win this match and take the three points they need to bolster their top-four charge. Make sure to bet on Newcastle vs Chelsea with 22Bet!
Table toppers Arsenal travel to the midlands on Saturday buoyed by their 0-1 win at Chelsea as they look to press home their advantage at the top of the log. With form and confidence on their back, the Gunners will look to get three more points when they face Wolves at the Molineux Stadium with late kick-off slated for 20:45 GMT. Mikel Arteta’s men have been in fine form in their charge to the top of the table, leading defending champions Man City by two points heading into round 14. Pundits and analysts are finally conceding that Arsenal might have a chance of taking this challenge all the way this term. Even Arteta conceded that his side are title contenders after their win at Stamford Bridge. With this realization, pressure will be on the Gunners to maintain their faultless form in the coming matches. Against Wolves on Saturday, Arsenal will face a team badly out of form, but one that is battling to regain their consistency and winning touch to climb out of the relegation zone. Julen Lopetegui has been charged with the herculean task of turning Wolves’ bad form around and masterminding their survival in the Premier League. This remit continues on Saturday when they welcome the red-hot Gunners to the Molineux Stadium. Wolves are winless in four rounds, taking just a point in this run. This will have to turn around quickly if they are to start taking points on board to aid their survival quest. Lopetegui will be focused on both ends of the team that has conceded 22 goals while scoring eight. Against Arsenal, Lopetegui will favour pragmatism, discipline, and aggression. A pragmatic approach will ensure that the home side are not unnecessarily open to the Arsenal attacks. Discipline will ensure that players work hard to maintain their shape, while aggression will ensure that they will hunt for the ball and make it hard for Arsenal to play. Julen Lopetegui will be without Sasa Kalajdzic (cruciate ligament rupture), Chiquinho (cruciate ligament injury), and Pedro Neto (ankle). Others missing include Raul Jimenez (hip) and Matheus Nunes (unknown). Nelson Semedo will also be out of contention for the Arsenal clash due to suspension; he was sent off in the 2-3 defeat at home to Brighton last Saturday. Arsenal will be without Emile Smith Rowe for the journey to Molineux. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder suffered a groin problem and underwent surgery on September 26th, and is expected back at the end of November. Wolves will play with their backs against the wall on Saturday as they battle for their Premier League status. The focus for Lopetegui will be to bolster the discipline and collective effort of the team to make it difficult for Arsenal to play through the middle. He will also seek to sharpen the Wolves attacks down the flanks and on the counter-attack to pose a threat. Mikel Arteta will ask his charges to maintain the energy, intensity, and character that has got them this far. These attributes were apparent at Stamford Bridge and will serve them well at Molineux. Expect Arsenal to dominate the ball and dictate the tempo of the match. Wolves will be restricted to counter-attacks and reliance on set pieces to trouble the Gunners’ defence. The Gunners will walk away with the three points from Molineux and bolster their title charge. Make sure to bet on Fulham vs Manchester United with 22Bet!
It has been a stunning start to the season for Napoli, and they will be looking to extend their advantage at the top of the Serie A standings in their final fixture before the World Cup break. Udinese will be the visitors, as they look for a first win in six. Napoli have started the new Serie A season in excellent form, and they will be looking to stretch their lead at the top of the standings in their final fixture before the World Cup break. The Italian giants currently sit eight points clear at the top of the standings, and are one of the only teams in Europe still boasting an unbeaten record. Napoli has won a staggering 12 of their opening 14 fixtures this season, with their only two non wins ending in draws. The Italian side has won their previous five fixtures in Serie A with their latest victory coming at home against Empoli. Both goals in that win were scored in the final 20 minutes, with Hirving Lozano opening the scoring and Piotr Zielinksi adding a second with just two minutes remaining. It hasn’t been the worst start to the season for Udinese, as they comfortably sit in the top half of the standings at this stage of the campaign. They are currently eighth, and they could move into the top four should they claim victory on Saturday and results go their way. However, the Italian side is without a win in their previous five fixtures. During that run, they have been held to four draws. Their latest draw came in midweek, as Sandi Lovric scored for Udinese in a 1-1 draw against Spezia away from home. Napoli has a tremendous record in this fixture, as the Italian side has won each of their previous five matches against Udinese. Meanwhile, they are also unbeaten in their previous 12, with Udinese’s last win in this fixture coming back in 2016. This exact fixture last season was won 2-1 by Napoli. Napoli’s excellent record in this fixture, coupled with the excellent start to the season that they have made makes them incredibly difficult to bet against on Saturday. Therefore, we could see the hosts winning this fixture by a 3-0 scoreline. Make sure to bet on Napoli vs Udinese with 22Bet!
The final game in the Premier League before the break in play comes from Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon, as high-flying Fulham welcome Manchester United to town. But, which side will go into the World Cup break with a victory under their belt? It has been an excellent start to the new Premier League season for Fulham, as they sit comfortably in the top half of the standings. There were fears that the Cottagers could be stuck in a relegation scrap throughout the season, but they are almost half way to the magic total of 40 points, which effectively means Premier League survival. Fulham currently sits ninth in the league standings, and they could move up a few places should they pick up maximum points against the Red Devils on Sunday. The Cottagers come into this fixture after failing to win in their previous two games, but they were extremely unfortunate not to have taken a point from their previous game against Manchester City. The reigning champions were awarded a dubious penalty in the final minute to steal the points at the Etihad. Manchester United’s ten-game unbeaten run came to an end last weekend, as they looked tired at Villa Park before losing 3-1 to Aston Villa in Unai Emery’s first game in charge. The Red Devils still look to be in a promising position to finish in a Champions League place this term, as they are just three points behind Tottenham Hotspur. United has won three of their previous six games in the league, and have the added benefit of having a game in hand on the two sides directly above them in the standings. Erik ten Hag will be hopeful of a big performance before the break for the World Cup. Fulham hasn’t beaten Manchester United since claiming a 3-0 success back in December 2009. Since then, United has won ten of the previous 13 matches between the sides. This exact fixture was won 2-1 by United in the 2020-21 season, before the sides played out a 1-1 draw in the return fixture in May. It has been a fine start to the season for Fulham, and there is every chance that they could cause big problems for Manchester United this weekend. However, United’s strong advantage in the head-to-head meetings means that we still see them taking the points. Make sure to bet on Fulham vs Manchester United with 22Bet!
There will be an interesting fixture in Ligue 1 this weekend, as Lyon and Nice play their final fixture before the World Cup break. Both sides currently sit outside the European places, and a victory will give them the best possible chance of getting involved in the battle after the World Cup. It hasn’t been the most encouraging start to the season for either Lyon or Nice this term, as they would have been hoping to challenge for a place in Europe this term. The French sides both sit comfortably outside the top five places in the Ligue 1 standings, with Lyon narrowly ahead of their rivals this weekend coming into the fixture. Lyon has picked up just two wins from their previous five fixtures in France, and they sit seven points adrift of fifth-placed Monaco coming into their 15th game of the season. Lyon’s two-game winning run was ended in their previous fixture, as they were beaten on the road by Marseille. Nice could move above their rivals this weekend, as they look to go six games without defeat in Ligue 1. They have won three times over the course of their previous five matches in France, which includes victories in each of their previous two. However, the remain eight points off the European places despite that impressive run of form. Their most recent victory was picked up last weekend, as Nice battled to a 1-0 success against Brest at home. The only goal of the game was scored ten minutes into the second half, with Gaetan Laborde scoring the winning goal. Their recent form could give them an excellent chance of claiming victory this Friday. Nice has a fairly good record in this fixture, as they have won three of the previous five, and five of the last eight matches that they have played against Lyon. However, this exact fixture was won 2-0 by Lyon last season, which was their second home win in four league meetings against Nice. This could be a fixture that goes either way on Friday. However, we like the chances of Nice taking the points, as they have been slightly more consistent in their previous fixtures in the league. We could see them moving above the hosts on Friday by claiming a 1-0 win. Make sure to bet on Lyon vs Nice with 22Bet!
The reigning women’s European champions are back in action on Friday, as England take on Japan. The Lionesses will look to continue their momentum ahead of next year’s World Cup, while Japan will be looking to spring a shock victory. It has been a famous year for women’s football in England, and the Lionesses will be looking to end their year on a high ahead of the World Cup next year. England will play twice before the end of the year, beginning with a home fixture against Japan on Friday night. England has been in excellent form throughout the year, having landed a first major success in their home Euros over the summer. Since then, England has won three of the four fixtures that they have played, which includes a famous victory over the United States at Wembley at the start of last month. However, they will need to bounce back to winning ways, as they were held to a shock draw in their previous fixture. On that occasion, England couldn’t find a way through against the Czech Republic, as they played out a 0-0 draw at Falmer Stadium. This won’t be an easy challenge for England this weekend, as Japan were winners of the World Cup back in 2011. They also finished as runners-up in 2015, and reached the round of 16 in 2019. Japan comes into this fixture in solid form as they have won four of their previous five matches. Their latest win was recorded against New Zealand last month. That was a very strong performance by the Japanese, with Hinata Miyazawa and Riko Ueki scoring the goals in the victory. There have been seven previous meetings between Japan and England, with the Lionesses having won on four occasions. The most recent meeting between the sides came in 2020, with England running out 1-0 winners in an international friendly. This should be an entertaining game between two very talented sides in the women’s game. However, we expect England to put their recent disappointment against the Czech Republic behind them and get back to winning ways. We could see the Lionesses winning 2-0 at the Pinatar Arena Football Center. Make sure to bet on USA vs Germany with 22Bet!
WAll of the attention may be on the upcoming men’s World Cup, but there are some extremely interesting women’s international fixtures on the horizon. One of the standout fixtures will see the United States take on Germany on Thursday evening. The top-ranked women’s team on the planet are back in action this week, as the United States look to continue their impressive run of form as they prepare for the upcoming World Cup. The United States has won the World Cup on four previous occasions, which includes at their previous showing back in 2019. However, this fixture could come at a pivotal time for the US, as they have been beaten in each of their previous two fixtures against European sides. During that run, they have allowed four goals, and they have scored just once. Their most recent defeat was suffered against Spain in the middle of October, and they will be looking to avoid the rare coincidence of going three without defeat this week. This will be a difficult fixture for the US, as Germany have shown throughout their modern history that they are one of the most dominant European nations in the women’s game. They have been crowned European champions a record eight times, and have won the World Cup on two occasions. They were beaten in the final of the women’s EUROs in the summer, but they have been steadily building momentum since that defeat. Germany has won each of their previous three matches, and they have scored 13 times during that run. Their most difficult fixture during that period came against France last month, but they still managed to edge to a 2-1 victory. Both goals in that success were scored by Alexandra Popp. The United States has an incredibly strong record in this fixture, as they have won nine of the previous ten matches between the sides. Their latest win was recorded in 2018, with the US running out 1-0 winners. The only win for Germany in this fixture was recorded in 2003. The US will desperately looking to get back on track after defeats in their previous two matches. However, Germany look to be a leading contender for the World Cup next year based on the form that they have shown in recent months. We could see an entertaining draw being played out on Thursday. Make sure to bet on USA vs Germany with 22Bet!
Juventus look back on track in Serie A this season, as they have closed to within two points of the Champions League positions in the Italian top-flight. They will be looking for a fifth straight domestic win on Thursday, as they travel to Hellas Verona. It may have been a difficult start to the new season for Juventus, but they have slowly got up to speed in Serie A. The Old Lady could move into the top four of the standings this week if they can pick up a fifth straight victory in the Italian top-flight against Hellas Verona. Juventus is one of the in-form sides in Italy at present, as they have picked up victories in their previous four matches. Their biggest win of the season was picked up in their previous fixture, as they managed to secure a 2-0 home win against Inter Milan. The Old Lady played on the break throughout that fixture, but they were good value for their healthy victory. The opening goal was scored seven minutes into the second half by Adrien Rabiot, before the match was settled with just six minutes remaining after Nicolo Fagioli fired home. It has been a disastrous start to the new season for Hellas Verona, and they already look to have a mountain to climb if they are to stay in the division this term. The Italian side sits bottom of the Serie A standings, as they have picked up just a single victory from their opening 13 games this term. They come into this fixture having suffered five straight defeats in Serie A, while they have scored just eleven goals in the Italian top-flight this term. Their latest defeat was suffered on the road against Monza, as Verona were beaten 2-0. Verona come into this fixture with a pretty good record against Juventus, as they have recorded wins in two of their previous five fixtures against the Old Lady. At home, Verona has also won three of their last five against Juventus. Verona’s home record in this fixture is a very interesting angle. However, we believe that Juventus has turned a corner in recent weeks, and we would be encouraged that they have shown enough form to record a fifth straight win in Serie A on Thursday evening. Make sure to bet on Hellas Verona vs Juventus with 22Bet!
The pressure has been piled on Real Madrid before the World Cup break in La Liga, as they come into this fixture against Cadiz trailing Barcelona by five points. The reigning champions have gone two games without victory in the Spanish top-flight, and they will be in desperate need of maximum points against Cadiz on Thursday. Many believed that the title race looked to be heading in only one direction after Real Madrid’s comprehensive win in El Clasico last month. However, Real has failed to kick on from that big victory against their biggest rivals, as they have conceded the advantage at the top of the standings to Barcelona over the previous two matchdays. Real come into this fixture sitting second in the standings, as they trail Barca by five points. This is also their worst run of form so far this season, as they have failed to win their previous two fixtures in the league. In their previous fixture, they were handed a first defeat of the La Liga season, as Real were beaten 3-2 by Rayo Vallecano in dramatic fashion on Monday evening. Cadiz may feel as though this is a good time to come up against the Spanish champions, as they could be best placed to inflict an even more shocking victory on Thursday evening. However, wins have been in short supply throughout the season to this point, as they have picked up just two victories from 13 games. But, scoring goals has been an issue for Cadiz throughout the season, as they played out a second 0-0 draw in four games in their previous fixture. There was no shortage of drama in that fixture, with three red cards dished out. The red card for Cadiz was given to Luis Hernandez in the tenth minute of injury time. Real Madrid has a relatively weak record in this fixture, as they have picked up just a single victory from their previous four matches against Cadiz. Two matches during that run have ended in 0-0 draws. Real desperately need to get back on track this week in La Liga, and we would be shocked to see them drop points for the third game running. Therefore, we expect the Spanish champions to pick up maximum points at home this week. Make sure to bet on Real Madrid vs Cadiz with 22Bet!
Inter Milan face a fight this season if they are to finish in a Champions League spot in Serie A. That means that this home fixture against Bologna could be pivotal before the break in place for the World Cup. Meanwhile, Bologna will be looking to maintain their recent strong form with a fourth straight win. This looks set to be a tough season for Inter Milan, as they face a fight to finish in the Champions League places in Serie A. The Italian giants come into this fixture sitting in seventh, as they have lost five of the 13 games that they have played this term. They sit just three points off the Champions League places, but they will need to bounce back from a recent defeat against Juventus. They were easily beaten by the Old Lady on Sunday, as they went down to a 2-0 loss on the road. Inter looked shy in front of goal in that fixture, as they managed just four shots on target. However, if they can forget about that result, then they should be good value this week after winning their previous four. Bologna currently sits 12th in the Serie A standings, as they have won each of their previous three fixtures. They have won more games over the past month than they had in their opening ten games of the season. Victory at the San Siro this week could lift them up into the top half of the standings. Their latest victory came at home against Torino, as they landed a 2-1 win. They needed to come from behind in that fixture, with Riccardo Orsolini scoring the equalising goal just after the hour mark. The winner was scored less than ten minutes later by Stefan Posch. Bologna were winners in the previous fixture between these two sides, as they won 2-1 last season. However, that victory ended a three-game winning streak for Inter. Bologna last won at the San Siro against Inter in 2020, but that remains their only win on three previous visits. This will be a big test for Inter, as they come up against one of the in-form sides in the league. However, we still like Inter’s chances of bouncing back to winning ways. We expect the home side to claim the points, and a 2-1 win could be the most likely result. Make sure to bet on Inter Milan vs Bologna with 22Bet!
Atalanta will be looking to get back on track in Serie A this week, as they were beaten for the second time in three fixtures. They will come up against Lecce on Wednesday evening, who have failed to win in their previous five fixtures in the Italian top-flight. This looks set to be a big game for Atalanta in Serie A this week, as the Italian side has lost two of their previous three fixtures. They have already lost pace on the teams at the top of the standings, which means that they will need a victory to stay in the Champions League places in the Serie A standings. However, their form has been slightly worrying in recent weeks, as they have picked up just two wins from their previous five fixtures. During that run, they have lost twice in three, and have also been held to one draw. In their previous fixture, Atalanta were beaten at home by Napoli, which allowed their rivals to widen the gap at the top of the standings. The only Atalanta goal in that defeat was scored by Ademola Lookman. Lecce come into this fixture sitting just above the relegation places in the standings, as they have won just once in 13 Serie A fixtures this season. They are currently three points away from the drop zone, which means that they will need to start recording wins sooner rather than later if they are to remain in the division. Lecce battled well in their previous fixture in Serie A, as they played out a 1-1 draw against Udinese. Lecce went ahead in that fixture through Lorenzo Colombo, but they were pegged back with just over 20 minutes remaining. Atalanta is unbeaten in their previous six fixtures against Lecce, winning on three occasions and being held to three draws. Meanwhile, the visitors this week have won three of the previous four, which includes wins in the last two, scoring a total of ten goals across the two fixtures. Atalanta’s record in this fixture is extremely hard to look past, which means that the smart money looks to be on the visiting side. Therefore, we could see Atalanta getting back on track with a 2-0 victory on the road. Make sure to bet on Lecce vs Atalanta with 22Bet!
One of the most interesting fixtures of the penultimate round of matches before the World Cup break in the Bundesliga takes place on Wednesday, as RB Leipzig welcome Freiburg to the Red Bull Arena. The visitors could move to the top of the Bundesliga standings with a victory in midweek. Two of the form sides in the Bundesliga meet in the German top-flight on Wednesday evening, as Leipzig welcome Freiburg. The visitors will be aware that three points in this fixture could move them to the top of the standings this week, as they are currently just a point behind Bayern Munich. Freiburg has started the season in excellent fashion, as they have landed eight victories from the 13 games that they have played. Furthermore, they have lost just two games so far this season, which is the second-fewest of any side in the Bundesliga. Freiburg maintained their strong recent form over the weekend, as they picked up a third straight victory. That run was maintained, as they beat Koln 2-0 at home. Jeong Woo-Yeong and Michael Gregoritsch scored the goals in that victory. This remains a very testing fixture for Freiburg in the Bundesliga, as Leipzig is beginning to find their form at this stage of the campaign. The home side has won each of their previous two games in the Bundesliga, and they have gone five without defeat in the German top-flight. Leipzig maintained their strong form in the league in their previous fixture, as they recorded a 3-1 win on the road against Hoffenheim. Christopher Nkunku was once again the star of the show for Leipzig, as he scored twice. Meanwhile, the other goal in the win was scored by Dani Olma with 20 minutes remaining. Each of the previous two fixtures between these two sides have ended in 1-1 draws. However, Leipzig is unbeaten in their previous five against Freiburg, winning on two occasions. However, only one of their wins have come in this exact fixture. This should be a thrilling fixture between two very solid sides in the Bundesliga this season. However, we could see the home side maintaining their solid run over their previous five fixtures, as Leipzig look to be hitting top gear. Therefore, we like the chances of the home side winning 2-1. Make sure to bet on RB Leipzig vs Freiburg with 22Bet!
It has been a solid opening to the Bundesliga season for Eintracht Frankfurt, as they currently sit in the mix for a fight for a Champions League spot this term. The German giants could move into the top four this week if they can claim victory at home against Hoffenheim. Eintracht Frankfurt is enjoyed a very strong season to this point, as they have successfully navigated their way through to the next stage of the Champions League, and also sit in contention to finish in a European spot this term in the Bundesliga. At present, they sit fifth in the Bundesliga standings, as they have won seven of the 13 games that they have played. They could yet go into the winter break sitting in a Champions League spot, as they are just two points behind Borussia Dortmund. Meanwhile, they are just five points off the top of the standings in the Bundesliga. Frankfurt bounced back to winning ways domestically in their previous fixture, as they landed a 2-1 win on the road against Augsburg. Ansgar Knauff scored the winning goal just after the hour mark. Hoffenheim hasn’t started the new season as brightly as Frankfurt, but they will still be moderately happy with the campaign so far. They come into this fixture sitting ninth in the overall standings, but victory on the road on Wednesday could take them within striking distance of a fight for a European spot this term. The German side comes into this fixture having failed to win in their previous three fixtures, as they have lost twice during that run. Their latest defeat was suffered against Leipzig over the weekend, as they were beaten 3-1 at home. Frankfurt has picked up six wins from their previous eight matches against Hoffenheim. However, they have gone two without a win against their rival this week. The previous meeting came back in April, as the two sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in this exact fixture. It’s hard to see past Frankfurt taking the points from this fixture, as they have been in incredibly strong form over their previous run of fixtures. We could see them securing a 2-0 home win to move into the top four on Wednesday evening. Make sure to bet on Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hoffenheim with 22Bet!
Just two rounds of fixtures remain in the Bundesliga before the break in play due to the World Cup. There will be an interesting fixture between two sides towards the bottom of the Bundesliga standings on Wednesday, as FC Köln welcome Bayer Leverkusen to town. It hasn’t been the ideal start to the season for both Bayer Leverkusen and FC Köln, as they both find themselves towards the bottom of the standings in the Bundesliga. It has been very damaging of a start for Bayer Leverkusen, as they sit just a point above the bottom three teams in the standings, as they have picked up just three wins from 13 games this term. The German side has at least showed signs of improvement over their previous five fixtures, as they have recorded two wins during that period. That includes a win in their previous fixture against Union Berlin. That was a stunning performance against the league-leaders, as Moussia Diaby scored a brace in a 5-0 win. The other goals were added by Adam Hlozek, Mitchel Bakker and Robert Andrich. FC Köln has fared slightly better over the early weeks of the season, as they currently sit 12th in the standings. However, they have gone three without a victory in the league, and have lost twice during that period. They have won just once in their previous five fixtures in the Bundesliga. But, victory on Wednesday could lift them into the top half of the standings. Köln were easily beaten in their previous fixture, as they suffered a 2-0 defeat on the road against Freiburg. Both goals for the hosts in that victory were scored in the second half. FC Köln has gone two without defeat against Leverkusen, which includes a 1-0 away win last season. However, Leverkusen still boast a very strong record, as they have landed victories in three of the previous five matches, which includes a 4-0 win on the road in December 2020. This is an important fixture for both sides with the impending break in play for the World Cup. But, we think Leverkusen has turned a corner after their big win over the weekend, and we could see them backing that up with another victory on Wednesday. Make sure to bet on FC Köln vs Bayer Leverkusen with 22Bet!
Atletico Madrid will take to the field for the final time in La Liga before the break in play due to the World Cup on Wednesday. The Spanish giants will be looking to get back on track, as they have gone two without a victory. Meanwhile, Mallorca will be hoping to maintain their solid run of form in the Spanish top-flight. There will be an interesting final game in La Liga before the World Cup break for Atletico Madrid and Mallorca, as they clash on Wednesday evening. Both sides has won twice in their previous five games, but Mallorca is currently the form side out of the two coming into this fixture this week. Mallorca has gone three without defeat in La Liga, as they have won two of their games during that period. That run of solid form has seen them move away from the relegation places in the Spanish top-flight, and they could move into the top half of the standings with a victory this week. Their latest win was a 2-0 success on the road against Villarreal, with Vedat Muriqi and Amath Ndiaye Diedhiou scoring the goals in that victory. Atletico Madrid already look to be out of the title race in Spain this season, as they sit ten points off the top of the standings. The Spanish side has already lost three times in 13 games, which is more than the top two in the standings combined. Atletico also come into this fixture without a win in their previous two games. They would have been extremely disappointed with their performance in their previous game, as they could only play out a 1-1 draw against Espanyol. Despite having a man advantage, Atletico fell behind in that fixture. However, they secured a point after Joao Felix fired them level with ten minutes remaining. Mallorca has a fine recent record in this fixture, as they have won each of their previous two matches against Atletico. Meanwhile, they have lost just twice in the previous eight matches against their rivals this week. This is a really interesting final La Liga fixture before the international break, as both sides will be desperate to pick up maximum points. However, the solid recent form shown by Mallorca and their healthy record in this fixture makes them our pick. Make sure to bet on Mallorca vs Atletico Madrid with 22Bet!

Villarreal will be looking to get back on track after suffering two straight defeats, while Espanyol will be looking to end a run of three straight draws in the league. The pause in La Liga for the World Cup comes into effect after the midweek games this week, which means it will be a final opportunity for teams to pick up vital points in domestic fixtures. Villarreal will be hoping to go into the break with a big victory on the road, as they look to edge closer towards the European spots in the league standings. However, they will need to end a two-game losing streak in the Spanish top-flight. The Spanish side has won just five of the 13 games that they have played in La Liga to this point, while they have scored a top-half low of just 14 goals. Villarreal were beaten 2-0 in their previous fixture by Mallorca, with the hosts only being able to register two shots on target in the 90 minutes. Espanyol will also be looking for an important victory in their final fixture before the international break, as they sit down in 16th in the current standings after recording just two wins from the 13 games that they have played this term. They come into this fixture having drawn their previous three, while they are without a win in four. Their most recent draw was picked up against Atletico Madrid. Sergi Darder opened the scoring for Espanyol, but Atletico drew level with just over ten minutes remaining. However, that was still a very solid result given that they played an hour with ten men. Villarreal is unbeaten in two previous fixtures against Espanyol, with their only win during that period coming in their previous fixture in February. However, Espanyol has lost just once in their previous five home matches against Villarreal. This could be a fixture that goes in either way, as both sides have looked lackluster in previous weeks. However, the slight preference is for the home side to get the victory, as they looked much-improved in their previous fixture against Atletico. Make sure to bet on Espanyol vs Villarreal with 22Bet!
Last season’s winners of the EFL Cup enter in the third round of the competition this season, and Liverpool will be the clear favourites to progress from this tie against Derby County. The Reds will have home advantage, but could Derby spring a surprise at Anfield? Liverpool were crowned winners of the EFL Cup in the 2021-22 season, and they will be looking to successfully regain their title this term. However, this fixture comes at a time of great uncertainty off the pitch for the Merseyside giants, as it has been reported that the FSG group are looking to sell the club in the immediate future. But, the Reds were extremely strong in the domestic cup competitions last season, as they won both the EFL Cup and FA Cup. Those were the first two domestic cup victories during the Jurgen Klopp era, but the Reds’ season ultimately ended in disappointment after finishing second in the Premier League and losing in the Champions League final against Real Madrid. Derby County will come into this fixture as massive underdogs. They were relegated to the third tier for the first time in a long time last term, as their financial difficulties saw that they were given far too much to do after being docked points for going into administration. Life in League One hasn’t started too well, as the Rams currently sit out of the playoff places in the division. Derby showed their fighting qualities in the previous round, as they managed to knock out Championship side West Bromwich Albion. The only goal of the game was scored after just 15 minutes, with Louie Sibley netting the winner at the iPro Stadium. This will be the first meeting between the sides since an EFL Cup tie in September 2016. On that occasion, the Reds ran out 3-0 winners away from home. Liverpool has an excellent record in this fixture, as they have picked up wins in each of the previous five. Meanwhile, the latest Derby win was recorded in a Premier League fixture in 1999. Despite the fact that Liverpool will make a number of changes for this fixture, we still struggle to see past the Anfield giants getting the victory that they need to progress through to the next round.

The EFL Cup continues this week, as the third round ties will be played across England. There will be an all-Premier League tie taking place at the Emirates, as Arsenal welcome Brighton to North London. But, can the Seagulls produce a shock result in the fixture? It has been an excellent start to the new season for Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta’s attention will switch to the EFL Cup this week. It is the first game that the Gunners have played in the competition this term, as all teams involved in European competition enter at the third round. Arsenal has made it through to at least the quarterfinal stage in five of the previous six seasons, but they are yet to win the competition since 1993. Arsenal played pretty well in the competition last season, as they managed to make it through to the semi-finals, before being beaten by Liverpool over two legs. However, the Gunners are a much more resolute side this term, and that is evident in the fact that they sit top of the Premier League standings. Brighton should put up a strong fight against the Gunners this weekend, but their recent record in the competition isn’t exceptionally strong. The Seagulls have only reached the fourth round of the competition on two occasions in the previous seven seasons. However, both of their runs to that stage have come in the previous two seasons. But, Brighton is yet to win the EFL Cup in their history. They faced no issues in the previous round of the competition, as they breezed past Forest Green in the second round. The Seagulls ran out 3-0 winners in that fixture, with Deniz Undav, Steven Alzate and Evan Ferguson scoring the goals. These two sides have met in domestic cup competitions on two occasions since 2013. However, Arsenal has claimed victories in both those meetings, scoring three goals in each victory. The most recent win came in the FA Cup in January 2015, with the Gunners winning 3-2 at the Amex. Both sides are likely to make a number of changes for this fixture, as the start of the World Cup approaches. However, the Seagulls may be able to call upon a number of first-team players, and they could be good value to reach the next round of the competition.

It is a quick turnover from Man United’s weekend 3-1 defeat away to Aston Villa to the EFL Cup clash at Old Trafford. The Third Round clash will allow Erik Ten Hag and his charges to put the hapless defeat in the Midlands behind them with a win over Unai Emery’s side on Thursday at 21:00 GMT. United suffered in the 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa with a quick turnover from their final Europa League Group E clash away to Real Sociedad before travelling to Villa Park leaving them with little time to recover. Their lethargic start to the game against Aston Villa arguably cost them as Unai Emery’s side took a commanding lead early on, leaving Man United to chase the game for the rest of the 90 minutes. Squad depth issues are again expected to be an issue for Erik Ten Hag as he seeks to give his charges some recovery time with the expected heavy rotation for the EFL Cup fixture. Unai Emery will look to retain his side’s feel-good factor going into the clash against Man United on Thursday. However, the Spanish tactician is expected to rotate his side, with the travel to Brighton in the Premier League coming on Sunday. Given their energetic and vibrant performance against Man United last weekend, Emery will look to extend the new-manager bounce for Aston Villa into the next few games, especially with the World Cup break just around the corner. Villans can expect a high-energy, high-tempo, and tactically astute performance from their side when they turn up at Old Trafford on Thursday evening. Erik Ten Hag cannot call on French international Raphael Varane for the upcoming match. The 29-year-old has had a leg injury since October 22nd. England international Jadon Sancho is a doubt for Ten Hag as the winger is ill and has been out of contention since November 1st. Center-back Lisandro Martinez is also serving out a yellow card suspension, but he will be available for the journey to Fulham on Sunday. Aston Villa’s injury list is much more extensive. Center-back Diego Carlos is out with an Achilles tendon rupture and midfield Boubacar Kamara is ruled out with a knee injury. Forward Philippe Coutinho and left-back Ludwig Augustinsson are both out with hamstring injuries. Man United will be desperate to show that the heavy defeat at Villa Park was an anomaly. They will be motivated to get one over Aston Villa playing in front of the Old Trafford crowd. Although Ten Hag is expected to rotate the squad, he will expect his charges to maintain a high level of performance against Premier League opponents. Unai Emery was brought in to improve Aston Villa’s performances and bolster their standing in the Premier League. Although the EFL Cup is not a priority for Unai Emery, there is an expectation that Villa have the quality to go deep into the competition. Therefore, they will choose a fairly strong team for the clash and will be competitive. While Villa will be robust in their performance, Manchester United are expected to bounce straight back to winning ways. Although it will not be a high-scoring match, Man United will do enough to win the match and proceed to the fourth-round draw. Make sure to bet on Man United vs Aston Villa with 22Bet!
Fourth-placed Real Betis will look to press home their advantage in the top four when they travel to the Mestalla to face Valencia, who are in the middle of a winless run spanning five La Liga outings, on Thursday, with kick-off slated for 20:00 GMT. Gennaro Gattuso’s men have not won in La Liga in give. In this run, they have had three draws and two reverses. The gaffer will be looking to turn his side from the nearly men to winners if he is to make an impact this season. Currently 11th on the table with 16 points, 5 points away from the drop zone, Valencia need to turn around their form soon to avoid being pulled into the survival scrap; Gattuso will look to improve his side’s balance going forward and in their defensive phase when they face Betis on Thursday. Manuel Pellegrini and his charges have had a decent start to the La Liga season. Currently sitting within the top four, they will be satisfied with their campaign so far. However, Pellegrini will be focused on fixing their consistency issues. In the last five outings, Betis have won twice, drawn twice, and lost once. This inconsistency has meant that the chasing pack have remained within touching distance. Pellegrini will seek to fix this challenge when they travel and face out-of-form Valencia on Thursday. Only one player is missing from Gennaro Gattuso’s squad; goalkeeper Jaume Domenech is missing with a ruptured knee ligament since September 8th. The 32-year-old is expected to return on December 31st. Real Betis are without the services of Juanmi; the 29-year-old left winger is recovering from a torn ankle ligament since September 8th. Valencia are low on confidence with their current winless run. Gattuso is expected to set them up defensively to contain the attacking threat posed by the in-form Real Betis. Pellegrini’s side will seek to impose their game on Valencia; they will keep neat possession, pass progressively, and control the tempo of the match. Real Betis will have what it takes to navigate the defensive setup by Valencia, create chances, and get the breakthrough they need to win the three points at the Mestalla.

What a weekend we have in store if you are a football lover from Europe’s top competitions. The Italian Serie A throws up some mouth-watering fixtures with armchair fans ready to dive in and gorge on the delights. There are a few games that will battle for your attention, but the one that caught our eye sees a resurgent Juventus taking on a Lazio side that could prove to be the dark horse of this campaign. The visitors have been impressive so far and can be found in the title mix, but there are some big challenges coming their way. Lazio’s start has been good, but they aren’t the first team to open a campaign strongly. Holding their position and finding the consistency needed to pull clear of the chasing pack – just like leaders Napoli has done – is a bigger challenge. Does this Lazio side have what it takes to mix it with the top four, secure a place in next season’s Champions League, and trouble the major teams in Italy? That remains to be seen, but we’ll get a better idea of what to expect from Lazio after this match. If they win at Juventus, the team’s critics will be forced to take them seriously. Juventus and Lazio last met at this venue in May of this year when the pair played out a thrilling four-goal draw. That was near the end of the season, and there wasn’t too much for either team to aim for at that stage, but it shows these teams are capable of scoring goals and putting on a show. Juventus scored exactly two goals in their last two games against Lazio, winning 2-0 on the road last year before playing out that draw. Will we see another goal-fest? Let’s investigate. Juve wins four on the bounce Juventus dominated Italian football for the best part of a decade, but things haven’t gone to plan for the former European champions over the last few seasons. Since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United – a reunion that hasn’t worked out too well for either party – Juventus have fallen from grace. They went from being the team no one in Italy wanted to face, especially at home, to a side that looks fragile and nervous every time they are under attack. The Juve of today is unpredictable, and not in a good way. The home team kicked off the week sitting fifth in the table, and they are already 10 points off the pace set by Napoli. That just isn’t good enough for a side with Juve’s standards and expectations. Supporters allowed themselves to become spoiled during that decade-long reign, and most are struggling now the team has returned to earth with a bump. They want to see their beloved team back on top and firing. A title win may be a bridge too far, but there’s still plenty of football to be played, and a home win over Lazio would change the landscape. This is a winnable match for the locals, who will know it. Juventus enter with their tails up after winning each of their last four games following another victory last weekend. They have now claimed a dozen points from their last four games, and that has had a positive impact on their stats for the campaign. The hosts have won seven, drawn four, and lost two games at this stage, scoring 20 goals while conceding seven. They have the best defence in the competition, leaking three goals less than Napoli, but the league leaders have scored 12 more, and that’s the main difference. Lazio is fast becoming one of the most interesting sides in Italy this season, after Napoli, of course. The team from Naples has sprinted clear of their followers in both the Serie A and Champions League, even hammering EPL side Liverpool on matchday one in Group A. Lazio is unlikely to cover the ground needed to challenge the league leaders. Still, there’s no reason why they can’t secure a top-four finish while making any champion work for their prize. This has the potential to be a great season for Lazio, one of the best fans have seen in recent years. The visitors started the week in third with their season stats showing eight wins, three draws, and two defeats, scoring 25 goals an...
Another round of fixtures from the Italian Serie A, and there’s plenty for armchair fans to get excited about, with some eye-catching matches on the schedule. Our team of football writers previews the game between Atalanta and Inter Milan, two sides hoping to challenge for the Serie A title this year. Two sides who, on paper, look to have a decent chance of realizing that dream and giving their fans something special to cheer this season. There are more than three points at stake here, with both clubs entering this match knowing what a win would do for their chances. Napoli has already pulled clear of the chasing pack in Serie A, continuing their stunning form in the Champions League with some magnificent stats in their domestic competition. That strong start puts pressure on the rest, with the likes of Atalanta and Inter Milan desperately trying to make ground and close the distance between themselves and Napoli. Atalanta entered the week sitting fourth in the table despite a poor recent run of form. Then we have Inter Milan, who sit in seventh place following a dreadful opening two months into the campaign. The stats tell us to expect a competitive 90 minutes after each of the last two matches involving these sides ended in a draw. Three of the last four have also been level, and there has been no more than one goal separating the rivals at the full-time whistle in six of the last seven. That suggests we are in for another action-packed match with plenty of talking points and just the right amount of controversy to keep things interesting. But which team will win? Read on for our big-match preview and predictions. Atalanta is yet to find their feet It has been a difficult opening few months to the season for the Atalanta squad and coaching staff, but frustrating for their fans. The club has shown glimpses of what it is capable of in their opening 13 games, and there’s no doubt they have the quality needed to lay down a decent challenge to the likes of Napoli, AC Milan, and Lazio this season. But consistency is a must to stand any chance of challenging for the title or even a top-four finish and return to the Champions League. They must begin to put together a run of wins. Their stats at this stage show Atalanta has won eight, drawn three, and lost two games, scoring 19 goals but conceding 10. When peeling back those numbers, we notice that Atalanta scored fewer goals than Udinese in eighth place and conceded the same number as leader Napoli. A strong defence is a real positive and gives the team something solid to work off, but their problems at the other end of the pitch are what needs attention. Atalanta must start taking their chances and scoring goals. Simply improving their attack will see them turn more defeats into draws and draws into wins. The home team’s last five games heading into the week showed they had just two wins against two defeats and a draw. They were in action last week when suffering a painful loss against Napoli at home. Atalanta fans knew that was a match their team had to win if they wanted to remain on the tail of the leaders heading into the World Cup break. It was a close match that could have gone either way, but Napoli got the win their form suggested they would, fighting back from a goal down to win 2-1 thanks to strikes from Osimhen and Elmas, the opening goal coming from Lookman from the penalty spot. Things haven’t been going to plan for Inter Milan this season, and that’s obvious from their position in Serie A. Inter is one of the competition’s biggest and most famous names, used to challenging for the major places in this division, but that hasn’t been the case over the last few months. Inter prepare for this match sitting down in seventh place, 11 points off leaders Napoli. It’s still too early to panic, and no one connected to the away dressing room will want to make rash decisions while the players and coaching staff are already under pressure. But improvement is needed, and the pla...
Sevilla will be looking for their first win in four La Liga outings when they host Real Sociedad, who are on a three-match winless run in the league, at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Wednesday at 19:00 GMT. These two teams in wobbly recent forms go head-to-head looking for a turning point in their season as the schedule careens toward the World Cup break later this month. After the exit of Julen Lopetegui, expectations were high for new man Jorge Sampaoli to turn around the form at Sevilla and get their season back on track. So far, the work has proven to be a slog, and the bad form has remained as highlighted by the results. Sevilla are marooned in a bottom-of-the-table scrap as opposed to the fight for European players the fans expected. After a brilliant start to this season, Real Sociedad have hit an inconsistent patch in recent matches. Winless in the last three, Imanol Alguacil and his charges will look to regain their winning vein when they travel to Sevilla on Wednesday. Sociedad have to re-focus their energies on getting their attack working again. In their last three matches, they have scored once and conceded four, including in the losses against Valladolid (1-0) and Real Betis (0-2). Sevilla have two major absentees heading into the clash with Sevilla; Tecatito is out with a Fibula Fracture, whereas centre-back Marcao is out with a thigh muscle rupture. Meanwhile, Fekir will miss this clash due to suspension. Injuries have been unkind to Sociedad, with many of their players on the treatment table. Some of the missing stars include David Silva (hamstring), Mikel Oyarzabal (cruciate ligament rupture), Umar Sadiq (cruciate ligament rupture), Momo Cho (hamstring), Aihen Munoz (Hamstring), and Ander Barrebetxea (muscular problems). Aritz Elustondo is also out due to the red card he received in the 1-1 draw with Valencia last weekend. With both sides out of form in recent rounds of fixtures, this is likely to be a cagey affair. The home side will look to take the initiative and spark the game into life. However, Sociedad will look to take the sting out of the game. This will be an evenly contested scarp for two sides looking to regain their winning touch. A draw is the likely result here with none of the sides satisfied with the outcome. Make sure to bet on Sevilla vs Real Sociedad with 22Bet!
Welcome to another round of fixtures from the German Bundesliga, and there are lots to keep fans entertained over the coming days. It’s not long until club football competitions, including the English Premier League, German Bundesliga, and Spanish La Liga, are put on ice until after Christmas, making way for the World Cup in Qatar. Followers of the beautiful game can’t wait to start as the competition arrives in the Arab World for the first time, making history before the end of the year. But there’s still time to squeeze the last bit of fun out of the leagues. We hit the ground running in the Bundesliga with a fantastic match scheduled for Friday evening as Borussia Monchengladbach takes on Borussia Dortmund with three vital points on the line. This match won’t determine where Borussia and Dortmund finish this season, but both sides will know the value of heading into the winter break on a strong run of form. That will make their return to action during the festive period easier. The best way to minimise disruption is to leave on a win and return on a win. Monchengladbach holds the home advantage for this match and will be eager to make it count, adding a win to their tally to delight supporters. With both clubs enjoying wins in their matches last weekend, the scene is set for an enjoyable 90 minutes of action. Which club wants it more and is willing to put their bodies on the line to earn an important win? That remains to be seen, but with the game set to be shown live on television, we know it will be great fun finding out. It has been a difficult season for followers of Borussia Monchengladbach as they have watched their side threaten a challenge but lack the composure and consistency required to make it happen. The home team entered the week placed eighth in the table, with their stats for the season showing five wins, four draws, and four defeats, scoring 23 goals but conceding 20. When we take a closer look at those numbers, we note Monchengladbach has won only one of their last four outings, but the spare did come in their last match. Borussia’s form means they have 19 points on the board, leaving them nine behind league leaders Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga is already more competitive this season than in the previous campaign. No one in Borussia will be ready to press the panic button over those poor results. Nine points behind the leaders and last season’s champions aren’t ideal, but they remain in the hunt, and fans can’t ask much more than that from their players. Win at home on Friday, and Monchengladbach will rise to the top six and a European place. After taking one point from the nine available to them, Borussia finally got the win they desperately needed when hosting Stuttgart last weekend. That was a game the players knew they had to win, and it was a relief for all connected to the club when the players delivered, scoring a 3-1 victory to inject some much-needed optimism into the stands. Goals from Hofmann, Thuram, and Herrmann were enough to secure victory, and the game was never in doubt. Borussia was always in the driving seat that day, and plenty of positives can be taken from the match. Borussia Dortmund starts every season as one of the favourites to challenge for the Bundesliga title. Bayern Munich has an iron grip over German football, which has been the case for over a decade now, but Dortmund is viewed as a team capable of upsetting the odds and making FCB work for the trophy. Do they have what it takes to lay down a real challenge and make the current league leaders uncomfortable? The class and experience are there. All the visiting side for this match lacks is a bit of momentum and self-belief. A strong run of results could shunt Dortmund back into the running. With this being a Friday night game, it’s also a chance to impress a wider audience. We find Borussia Dortmund sitting fourth in the German Bundesliga with stats of eight wins, one draw, and four defeats, scoring 23 goals and conceding ...
As the divisive World Cup enforced break races closer, lovers of club football enjoy a midweek of action from the EFL Cup. We’re at the third-round stage, but some blockbuster fixtures are already on the programme, including the one from the Etihad Stadium. You’ll not often get a Premier League champion playing a recent Champions League winner at this stage, so it’s a special occasion for lovers of the beautiful game. Man City are the early favourites with respected pundits to win this match and go on to lift the trophy. The locals have every right to be confident of getting their name in the hat for the next round but know they’ll get nothing on the cheap. Chelsea is a big-hitting heavyweight that has been a little punch-drunk of late. Winning the EFL Cup isn’t at the top of their priorities list, but it’s looking like trophies may be hard to come by this season. Perhaps they can’t afford to be so picky. Both managers are expected to make changes, and introducing fringe players weakens the sides. But if this game follows the recent trends, armchair fans and those in attendance are in for a thrilling night. There has been just one goal between the pair in the last five and eight of nine. Prepare for another competitive contest. Manchester City did the double over Chelsea last season, beating them home and away in the Premier League. They will aim to at least go one better this season by getting the better of the blues on three occasions, once in the EFL Cup and twice in the Premier League. Doing so would go some way to hammering home the Cityzens’ dominance over the Londoners in this fixture, and it wouldn’t be a major surprise to see them do that. Man City is a team with momentum behind their work, while this Chelsea side is going through a sticky spell. The home team enjoys a break from chasing points in the EPL, where they are involved in a battle with Arsenal for pole position. The Gunners have started the season in great shape and lead the way, but last season’s champions refuse to roll over and surrender their title. They have won each of their last three league games, beating Brighton, Leicester, and Fulham to get back on track following a surprise defeat to Liverpool at Anfield last month. Each match has been tight, with the champions using their experience to dig out a result. This will be the home team’s third game on the bounce at this venue after beating Sevilla here in the Champions League before downing Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday. Their most recent contest was a hard-fought victory over the Cottagers, with Haaland scoring the winner from the penalty spot in stoppage time to snatch all three points. That came after Cancelo had been sent off, and Pereira had netted from the penalty spot for Fulham. Man City isn’t at its best just now, but they are finding a way to win. Chelsea’s trip to the home of the Premier League champions stuck on a horrible run of form, which has seen them fail to win any of their last four games at that level. The winless streak began with back-to-back draws before a pair of defeats dragged the club down to seventh in the table, and the squad is now under real pressure. It’s looking increasingly likely that the board will wield the axe and clear out the coaching staff – possibly sooner rather than later – before undergoing yet another re-build job in January following the World Cup. The visitor’s most recent game ended in a 1-0 defeat at home to Arsenal on Sunday. With the Gunners top of the league and enjoying an incredible run of form, that loss didn’t come as a major surprise to football fans, but that didn’t make it any easier for followers of Chelsea. Gabriel scored the goal that mattered in 63 minutes, and although 1-0 is always a fragile lead, it was enough to see Arsenal win a tense London derby. Mikel Arteta’s men are going great guns, but that will be no comfort to the Chelsea fans running out of patience with the team. Chelsea boss Graham Potter is here on merit a...
The Volkswagen Arena will be the venue of choice for the clash between the two teams on Tuesday, November 8th, at 1730hrs GMT. Wolfsburg come into this match having lost only once at home this season. The hosts have kept 2 clean sheets and scored 7 goals in their last two games. While they languish in the bottom half of the table, this is the perfect time for a clash with a top team with confidence brimming through the camp. Borussia Dortmund’s home form has been excellent, with 5 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss this season. However, their away form has placed them in a weak position to challenge for the league title. So far, they have won 3 and lost 3 matches on the road. This will be an exciting fixture, with both teams having something to prove. With 30% of their goals coming from set pieces this term, the hosts will be looking to convert chances from corners and freekicks. The hosts will not have an easy time scoring from set pieces despite their reliance on them this season. Dortmund have conceded only 2 goals from set pieces. Expect the hosts to try anyway, given that they will be facing a squad comfortable staying on the ball. The limited opportunities available will be from set pieces, and Wolfsburg hope they can convert some of them. After the departure of Erling Haaland to Manchester City over the summer, the question of whether Dortmund would get to replace his contributions lingered in many minds. While he has not delivered to the Haaland levels, Moukoko has been instrumental in keeping his team in contention for the league title. With 6 goals and 3 assists this season, he is the x-factor that will sway the match in his team’s favour if he puts in a good shift. On his part, Jude Bellingham has been a revelation this season. He tops the scoring charts for Dortmund with 7 goals and 2 assists while playing in central midfield. His ability to control matches and dictate the tempo while getting in on the attacking action has lifted his team in many matches this season. Wolfsburg will look to keep him quiet to ensure chance creation on the visitor’s side is minimized. The hosts only have 3 players missing the action: Kevin Paredes (calf), Maximilian Kruse (hip), and Bartol Franjic (calf). On their part, Dortmund are missing 8 players: Nico Schulz & Sebastian Haller for personal reasons, Mahmoud Dahoud and Jamie Bynoe Gittens with shoulder injuries, Marius Wolf with a virus, Tom Rothe with a knee injury, Thomas Meunier with a head injury, and Mateu More with a torn ACL. Despite their league position, Wolfsburg will put in a great shift and hope to extend Dortmund’s unlucky outings away from home. Expect the home side to focus on orchestrating set-piece plays to lean on their strengths. The away side will set out to control the midfield and dictate the game’s tempo. Wolfsburg will try to close down key midfield players, especially Jude Bellingham. This will be a decent game for neutrals to watch, with Dortmund emerging as winners with a narrow margin. Make sure to bet on Wolfsburg vs Borussia with 22Bet!
Bundesliga leaders Bayern will play host to 7th placed Werder Bremen on Tuesday, November 8th, at the Allianz Arena, with the clash kicking off at 1930hrs GMT. A win for the home side will be instrumental in solidifying their top position, with Union Berlin hot on their heels with a game in hand. With Lewandowski departing for Spain in the summer, the Bavarian giants have not struggled to replace the prolific talisman. The Bundesliga leaders have scored 41 goals so far this season, with the goal-scoring burden split between the forwards. The 33-year-old Choupo-Moting is enjoying his purple patch with 5 league goals and 2 assists so far this season. Julian Nagelsmann will hope that the forward continues his run of form and delivers results on Tuesday against Werder Bremen. Reigning Socrates Award winner and African Player of the Year, Sadio Mane has adjusted wonderfully to his new life in Germany. With 6 goals and 3 assists in 13 appearances so far this season, he promises to be a game-changer in this match. With the firepower available to manager Julian Nagelsmann, it is hard to see any result other than a Bayern win on Tuesday. Niclas Füllkrug has been a revelation so far this season. The German forward has bagged 10 goals and 2 assists in 13 appearances this season. Only Christopher Nkunku (11) of Leipzig has scored more. Mitchell Weiser is fourth in the Bundesliga on the assists charts with 5. The attacking-minded defender also has one goal to his name. The two will pose a serious threat and will be the visitors’ chance to get something from the Allianz Arena. The biggest news from the weekend was Alphonso Davies possibly missing the World Cup due to a thigh injury. Other Bayern absentees are Matthijs De Ligt (knee), Josip Stanisic (flu), Thomas Muller (hip), and Bouna Sarr (knee). On visiting side, 5 players will be unavailable for selection: Lee Buchanan (unknown), Felix Agu (tendon), Haesler (unknown), Dikeni Salifou (groin), and Jean-Manuel Mbom (Achilles). With a goal difference of 4 (scored 23, conceded 19), Werder’s only chance at winning will be to outscore their opponent, given the porous defense. However, they will be up against the second-best defensive record in the Bundesliga this season. Expect the match to be open and chances created on both sides. Bayern have the firepower to convert the chances and the defensive manpower to ensure a win. Make sure to bet on Bayern München vs Werder Bremen with 22Bet!
In a mid-table clash, the 7th-placed Athletic Club will welcome 10th-placed Real Valladolid on Tuesday, November 8th, at San Mames, with the La Liga clash kicking off at 1900hrs GMT. The home side will be hoping to get back to winning ways after stumbling against Girona last time out. At the same time, the visitors desire to build on their win against Elche to gain momentum. The home side have come out swinging in most matches this term. They are expected to employ the same tactics in the match. The 2-1 loss away to Girona will have left bruised egos keen to get back on track and gain momentum. Athletic Club have had an up-and-down season so far, with the Basque outfit picking up 6 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses in their opening 13 league matches of the new campaign. The home side’s form in the opening 45 minutes of their matches has been solid. Real Valladolid have a poor defensive record in La Liga this season, conceding 18 goals in 13 games. They will be looking to tighten up at the back to give themselves a chance of getting something from the match.

It’s at the back where Real Valladolid have struggled most this season. Both teams have had their defensive issues this season, with both teams scoring and conceding in the first halves of their matches. Still, Athletic will likely stave off any Valladolid attempts in the first half. Athletic Club will be without the services of Iker Muniain (abdominal strain), Ander Herrera (hamstring), and Dani Garcia (hamstring). Real Valladolid with miss Anuar (cruciate ligament), Kenedy (groin), and Luis Perez (pubitis). Midfielder Roque Mesa has accumulated 4 yellow cards and is at risk of suspension. Real Valladolid will mount a strong opposition to stop the home side from scoring, but ultimately it will not be enough.

League leaders Barcelona will be travelling to face 5th placed Osasuna on Tuesday, November 8th, at Estadio El Sadar, with the La Liga clash kicking off at 2030hrs GMT. The visitors will be hoping to create some distance from Real Madrid, who are 2 points behind them with a game in hand. The home side will hope their recent winning streak will give them enough momentum to challenge a high-flying Barcelona side. Having missed a penalty in Gerard Pique’s farewell match on the weekend against Almeria, the Polish international will be incentivized to get back on the scoring charts. Since moving from Bayern over the summer, the prolific forward has averaged a goal per game in the league. Osasuna will be hoping for a lowkey performance from the 34-year-old. Even when playing 5th choice center back Gerard Pique in honor of his retirement, the Blaugrana managed to keep a clean sheet over the weekend. Xavi’s men have been solid at the back all season, having only conceded 4 goals in 13 matches. Three of those goals came in the El Clasico clash last month. It is unlikely that Osasuna will manage to penetrate a defense that has been solid all through the season. In the absence of starting goalkeeper Sergio Herrera, the number 2 choice has had an impressive showing with 2 clean sheets and conceding one goal in the win against Celta Vigo on the weekend. This match will be a true test coming up against incredibly talented attackers and a manager setting his team to play free-flowing attacking football. Osasuna will miss the services of Ez Abde (torn muscle fiber), Sergio Herrera (knee), and Kike Saverio (Achilles). Midfielder Lucas Toro has accumulated 4 yellow cards and is one card away from a suspension. The Barcelona injury list is pretty lengthy: Franck Kessie (muscle), Jules Kounde (muscle), Sergi Roberto (shoulder), Memphis Depay (thigh), and Ronald Araujo (adductor). Also missing is Gerard Pique, who retired mid-season this weekend. Midfielder Sergio Busquets is also one yellow card away from suspension. After key talisman Robert Lewandowski missed a penalty over the weekend, the Barcelona attack proved it was not down to individual brilliance and secured a 2-0 win on a quiet evening for the Polish international. The Catalonia giants are aware of the pressure to win the match and remain in the title race, with Real Madrid hot on their heels. Expect an action-filled performance from the visitors with plenty of chances created. Barcelona will emerge clear winners in this midweek fixture and possibly maintain a clean sheet.

Serie A title chasers AC Milan will be travelling to Stadio Giovanni Zini to face relegation-threatened Cremonese on Tuesday, November 8th at 1945hrs GMT. The visitors will be looking for a win to keep up with table topper Napoli who are ahead of them by 6 points. The home side are yet to win a single match and will be hoping for a fluke win to turn their fortunes around. After 13 Serie A matches, newly promoted Cremonese have managed 6 draws and 7 losses. In those matches, the strugglers have scored 11 goals and conceded a whopping 24 goals. If they are to remain in the Italian topflight, they must quickly turn their season around. A positive result against legitimate title contenders who have only lost twice would be the morale booster Massimiliano Alvini’s men need. However, given the lack of standout performers so far this season and the overall team performance, it is unlikely that Cremonese will emerge with a positive result. In an adrenaline-filled moment, the French striker took off his shirt to celebrate his match-winning goal against Spezia in the 89th minute. Having been shown yellow earlier, Giroud will have to serve a one-match suspension and will not be available for the match. The former Chelsea and Arsenal stalwart has 5 goals and 2 assists in 12 league matches so far. He is the joint top scorer alongside fellow forward Rafael Leao. Milan will feel his absence as he has been instrumental in their season. Giroud’s contributions have been the difference between 1 and 3 points in key matches, such as his solitary goal against Sampdoria and the late winner against Spezia. The hosts have three players unavailable for the midweek fixture: Cyriel Dessers (leg), Vlad Chiriches (thigh), and Andrei Radu (knock). On the visitors’ side, the medical team is busy with 5 injuries: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (long-term knee injury), Mike Maignan (calf), Alessandro Florenzi (hip), Davide Calabria (thigh), and Alexis Saelemaekers (knee). Also missing is Olivier Giroud serving a one-match suspension. Last time out, Cremonese managed to score 2 goals to secure a point away to Salernitana. However, against a formidable opponent at home to AC Milan, they will struggle to create any meaningful chances. Expect the Rossoneri to dominate the match and create plenty of chances. While they may not end up with a high score, the visitors are set to collect all three points. Make sure to bet on Cremonese vs AC Milan with 22Bet!
Serie A leaders Napoli will welcome Empoli to the Diego Armando Stadium on Tuesday, November 8th at 1730hrs GMT. The hosts hope to maintain their 2022/23 unbeaten run with a win against the visitors in the bottom half of the Serie A standings. The Partenopei remain the only unbeaten team in Serie A will 11 wins, and 2 draws this term. Striker Victor Osimhen’s form has been instrumental with his 8 goals. The goal-scoring burden has been shared with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who has scored 6 goals so far. On the creating side, the burden is equally shared between Piotr Zielinski, Mario Rui, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, with 5 assists each. Napoli are poised to continue on their good run with all players pulling their weight and making impactful contributions to the team. Languishing in 12th, Empoli have struggled to score all season. With only 2 players managing more than a single goal, the visitors will have a hard time putting any real pressure on the league leaders. Having shipped 17 goals and only scored 10 this season, Empoli are having it rough in Serie A, and this is unlikely to be the turning point. Facing a formidable opponent with an in-form attacking partnership is not an ideal fixture for a team with only 3 wins in 13 league matches this season. Napoli only have Amir Rrahmani missing through a thigh injury. Manager Luciano Spalletti will have a full squad to select his starting 11. Empoli’s woes have them missing four players through injury: Lorenzo Tonelli (knee), Alberto Grassi (rib), Koni De Winter (thigh), and Mattia Destro (calf). Paolo Zanetti will have to do without them and hope to get a positive result. After their 1-0 win over the weekend against Sassuolo, Paulo Zanetti boys will be motivated to try and get at least a point from Napoli. However, with the league leaders’ purple patch and an in-form striker partnership, Empoli will have a tough evening. Expect Empoli to sit back and remain narrow in a deep block. The visitors will look to create chances through set pieces since open-play chances will be easily thwarted. Napoli will look to dominate the opponent and will have the ball for most of the match. The talent in attack will be enough to push through the deep block and create chances to secure a comfortable win. Make sure to bet on Napoli vs Empoli with 22Bet!

We’re delighted to have the English Premier League back on our screens following the midweek action from the Champions League and UEFA’s other two competitions. We now look forward to Chelsea taking on Arsenal in a London derby at Stamford Bridge. Both teams are possible title challengers and have started the season as such, but it’s the Gunners who have been the better of the two London sides. Will that form help them win this match? Chelsea rank as one of the biggest teams in European football, but they have gone off the boil following a decent start to this campaign. The Blues are without a win in their last three games at this level, taking just two of the nine points available to them. Arsenal remains top of the league and enters on the back of a hard-fought win, meaning confidence is high in the camp. With both sides confident they have what it takes to win, this promises to be a thrilling 90 minutes of play. Followers of the form may remember these sides met twice last season, and the team that was away from home won on each occasion. The first match was played last August at the Emirates Stadium, and it was the Blues that came away with all three points thanks to a 2-0 victory. Then it was Arsenal’s turn to get their revenge, winning 4-2 in a stunning match at this venue in April. Armchair fans hope this return lives up to the energy and drama saw in those two meetings. Read on as we look closely and offer our Chelsea v Arsenal predictions. Chelsea started the weekend off the pace, sitting down in sixth, which is something the fans have already begun to voice their opinions over in the last few days. The Blues have a squad that is good enough to be challenging for the major places and coaching staff that have been there and seen it all before. It’s a club filled to the rafters with winners. What’s the problem at the Bridge, and what can be done to solve the issues and get them firing again? Those are questions that need answers quickly. When taking a closer look at their form this season, we start to see where the cracks are appearing. The hosts have played a dozen matches, winning six, drawing three and losing the other three. They have scored 17 goals which is the lowest return of any team in the top nine, with Crystal Palace in tenth place netting just 13 times. At the opposite end of the field, we see Chelsea has conceded 15 goals, and that’s more than Everton and West Ham, two sides currently stuck in the middle of the table and going through a difficult time. What must Chelsea do to improve? There isn’t too much wrong with their season stats, and although it’s always dangerous to assume, their drop down the ladder looks like it can be pinned on a damp patch. They have suffered two of their three draws in their last three games. There has also been one of those three defeats in that same period. They are a club down on their luck at the minute and need a morale-boosting win to get things moving again. Three points at home against the league leaders isn’t beyond this side, and it would be a win that would get them firing again. Arsenal enters the latest round of fixtures perched proudly atop the English Premier League table. The club has enjoyed a terrific start to the season – which is nothing new – but they appear to be gathering pace as we edge closer to the winter break. All EPL fixtures will be cancelled while the World Cup is played in Qatar between 20th November and 18th December. Clubs then must return to it, aiming to pick up where they left off before the FIFA showpiece. That won’t be easy, but taking the lead at the top of the table into the break would be ideal, taking some of the pressure off the players’ shoulders when they return. Arsenal is doing well, but they aren’t a good enough side that they can let their minds wander towards Qatar. Any points dropped as the games come thick and fast could end up being the difference between winning the league and losing it. We saw over the last few seasons ...
Manchester City will be looking to move back to the top of the Premier League standings on Saturday, as they welcome one of the surprise packages in the English top-flight to the Etihad. City will be looking for a third straight win, while Fulham will be hoping to stretch their unbeaten run to five. Manchester City has enjoyed yet another strong start to the Premier League season, and despite currently sitting second in the standings, many experts believe that they will still run away with the title this term. City come into this fixture playing some excellent football, as they have picked up victories in each of their previous two games. No team in the Premier League has scored more goals than City this term, while they also boast the second best defensive record alongside Arsenal. Pep Guardiola’s side won for the second game running in the Premier League last weekend, as they secured a 1-0 away win against Leicester City. City were made to work very hard for that victory, with the only goal in the game being scored by Kevin De Bruyne. Many expected Fulham to stand their best chance of Premier League survival for many years this term, as the Cottagers invested extremely well over the summer months. The start of the season has backed up those claims, as they sit seventh in the standings, and they could move up to sixth with a shock win on the road against City. Fulham has been in fine form over recent weeks, and they come into this fixture looking to stretch their unbeaten record in the Premier League to five games. However, they will be looking for a response after playing out a bore 0-0 draw in their previous fixture against Everton. Manchester City has an excellent record in this fixture, as they have won their previous eleven matches against Fulham in all competitions. In the Premier League, City has won the previous five without conceding a goal. The latest meeting between the sides came in the FA Cup last season, with City running out 4-1 winners at the Etihad. This should be one of the easier matches to predict this weekend, as City boast an incredible record in this fixture. We struggle to see past the home side taking the points, but we could see both teams finding the net. Make sure to bet on Manchester City vs Fulham with 22Bet!
Leicester City dropped back into the bottom three in the Premier League last weekend, as they were beaten by Manchester City. However, they will be looking to bounce back against Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday. Two sides that look set to face a challenging season to stay in the Premier League this term will meet on Saturday, with both Leicester City and Everton looking for a key three points as the winter break in the Premier League for the World Cup edges ever closer. Everton will have home advantage for this fixture, and they should be relatively confident after going two without defeat in the English top-flight. They have been able to move up to 12th in the standings after a positive run of results, and they could edge closer towards the top half with victory against the Foxes. However, they will need to be much more progressive in the final third this weekend after playing out a 0-0 draw against Fulham in their previous fixture. Leicester City’s season has started very disappointingly, and they dropped back into the bottom three last weekend following defeat against Manchester City. The Foxes still remain in relatively good form though, as they have picked up victories in two of their previous three fixtures. They did give it a good go against City last weekend, but they lacked the clinical touch in the final third of the field to deserve a point. Still, they could move up to 13th with a victory in the Premier League this weekend. Everton has a very fine recent record against the Foxes, as they have gone five without defeat against their rivals this weekend. The Toffees have picked up three wins during that period, but their only home win came in July 2020. Each of the previous two meetings at Goodison Park have ended in 1-1 draws. Both of these sides have struggled in the final third of the pitch throughout the season, and that would be a concern coming into this fixture. Therefore, we could see a low-scoring draw being played out between Everton and Leicester City in the Premier League. Make sure to bet on Everton vs Leicester City with 22Bet!
Two sides at opposite ends of the La Liga standings clash on Friday, as Athletic Bilbao will be looking for three points to move into the Champions League places. Meanwhile, Girona will be looking for a victory to move clear of the relegation places. There is exciting action in La Liga on Friday evening, as two teams that will be desperate for maximum points will clash. It has been a relatively solid start to the new season for Bilbao, and they could move into the Champions League positions with a victory away from home this Friday. However, they have won just once in their previous five fixtures. Bilbao still remain in sixth place in the standings, as they have won half of the 12 games that they have played to this point. However, their recent form of two defeats in their previous five is pretty concerning. But, they were able to bounce back to winning ways in their most recent fixture, as they picked up a deserved 1-0 home win against Villarreal. The only goal in that fixture was scored after 59 minutes by Inaki Williams. Girona will be aware that this season will be all about survival in La Liga, and they will be looking to end a run of five games without a victory this weekend. The Spanish side currently sits 17th in the standings, as they have picked up just two victories from 12 games this term, and they sit level on points with the two sides directly below them. However, they could move up to 14th with a victory on Friday. They were held to a second straight draw in their previous fixture, as they played out a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid away from home. Bilbao has picked up victories in three of the previous four matches that they have played against Girona. That includes a 2-1 victory in this exact fixture back in 2019. The only win for Girona was a home success back in 2018. Bilbao has the better quality, but the confidence Girona would have built from their draw away from home against Madrid last weekend could be crucial. We could see a slight shock on Friday, as we expect the home side to pick up a victory. Make sure to bet on Girona vs Athletic Bilbao with 22Bet!
It looks set to be a thrilling title fight in La Liga this term, which means every point will be crucial. Barcelona could move back to the summit this weekend when they host Almeira, who will also be looking for a second straight victory. It has been a strong start to the season for Barcelona this term, and that has given them every opportunity to make a title challenge. However, the standards that they have set over the early months will need to remain if they are to claim Real Madrid’s crown. The Catalonian side has won two of their opening 12 fixtures this term, with their only defeat coming against Real a few weeks ago. Since that defeat, they have responded excellently, winning each of their previous three fixtures in La Liga. Their most recent victory was picked up on the road in their previous fixture, as Barcelona managed to edge to a 1-0 victory against Valencia. The only goal in the fixture was scored in the 93rd minute, with Robert Lewandowski breaking the deadlock in dramatic fashion. Almeria will be happy enough with the start to the season that they have made this term, as they sit 12th in the overall standings. They have picked up four wins from the 12 games that they have played, and they could move into the top half of the standings with a victory against Barcelona this weekend. However, they come into this fixture having picked up just a single win in their previous two fixtures. Fortunately, that victory did come in their most recent fixture, as they secured a 3-1 win at home against Celta Vigo. Lazaro levelled the scores in that fixture, before two further goals were added by Cesar de la Hoz and Inigo Eguaras. Eleven of the recent 13 meetings between these two sides have been won by Barcelona. That includes a run of six straight victories for the Catalonian giants. The most recent victory secured by Barcelona against Almeria came in April 2015, as they landed a 4-0 success. We expect Almeria to put up a solid fight in this fight on Saturday, but we struggle to see any other outcome than a Barcelona victory. We can see the Catalonian club picking up a 3-0 win at the Nou Camp. Make sure to bet on Barcelona vs Almeria with 22Bet!
Borussia Dortmund look to be back on the right track at present, as they have picked up back-to-back victories in the Bundesliga. They will be looking to put pressure on the top two in the standings this weekend with a victory against Bochum. It had been a very slow start to the new season for Borussia Dortmund, but they finally look to be back on track at this stage. They moved into the Champions League places last weekend with a second straight victory, and they could close to within a point of top spot should results go their way this weekend. Dortmund has now won twice in their previous five matches, but both victories were secured in their previous two fixtures. The latest of those was a fine 2-1 success on the road against Eintracht Frankfurt. Dortmund went ahead through Julian Brandt, before Frankfurt equalised before the half time break. However, Dortmund went back ahead early in the second half following another goal from the in-form Jude Bellingham. It hasn’t been the best start to the season for Bochum this term, as the German side currently sits in the bottom three of the standings. They have picked up just two wins from 12 games this term, and have scored a joint-league low of eleven goals in the fixtures that they have played. Their confidence may also be very low coming into this fixture, as they have suffered two defeats in their previous three matches, which includes a recent defeat in their previous fixture in the Bundesliga against Wolfsburg. Bochum lost that match by four goals, and registered just two shots on target. They will need a much better performance against Dortmund this weekend. Bochum come into this fixture having gone two without defeat against Dortmund. The latest meeting between the sides was won 1-0 by Bochum in April. However, Dortmund has still won three of the previous five fixtures between the two sides, but only one win has been recorded at home. Dortmund’s home record against Bochum may not appear the strongest, but the recent form of the away side doesn’t look strong enough to compete for maximum points this weekend. Therefore, we can see the home side picking up a comfortable 2-0 win in front of their home fans. Make sure to bet on Borussia Dortmund vs Bochum with 22Bet!
Bayern Munich will be back in domestic action on Saturday, as they look for maximum points to move to the top of the Bundesliga standings. However, Hertha Berlin will also be desperate for the points this weekend, as they aim to move away from the relegation places. Not many people would have expected Bayern Munich to be sitting second in the Bundesliga standings at this early stage of the season. Even fewer would have been expected them to be trailing Union Berlin by a point. However, the Bavarian giants could move to the top of the standings for a short time this weekend if they can pick up maximum points against Hertha Berlin on Saturday. Bayern has been in strong recent form, as they have picked up three straight victories, and four wins in their previous five games in the German top-flight. They were in excellent form in their most recent domestic fixture, as they landed a 6-2 home win against Mainz. There were six different scorers for Bayern in that win, including Sadio Mane, Serge Gnabry and Eric Maxim Choupo Moting. Hertha will not like seeing their rivals sitting top of the Bundesliga standings, but they also wouldn’t want to drop into the bottom three places in the league table. They have won just once in their previous five fixtures, while they have claimed just two victories in total across 12 games this term. At present, they sit just two points clear of the bottom three, and they were beaten for the fifth time this season in their previous fixture. That defeat was suffered on the road, with Werder Bremen picking up a 1-0 win. Bayern has picked up 20 wins in the previous 26 meetings between these two sides. The reigning German champions has also picked up victories in each of the previous five meetings between the sides, scoring at least four times on four different occasions. This exact fixture was won 4-1 by Bayern last season. Bayern may be sitting second in the current standings, but I don’t expect them to face too many issues in this fixture on Saturday. I expect the German champions to record a fourth straight victory, and that could be achieved with a 4-1 win. Make sure to bet on Hertha Berlin vs Bayern Munich with 22Bet!
It has been a very tight campaign in Group D of the Europa Conference League, and all four teams in competition could yet reach the next round of the tournament. Two of those sides will meet on the final matchday, with FC Köln hosting Nice. It has been a very entertaining group of action in Group D of the Europa Conference League, and coming into matchday six, all four teams can still qualify. It only makes things even more interesting that the two favourites for progression when the draw was made will meet on the final matchday, which means one of them could easily be exiting the competition at the first hurdle. Nice has the added benefit of sitting top of the group standings coming into the final round of fixtures, as they have won twice from five games this season. However, crucially, they have suffered just one previous defeat. Nice were professional winners in their previous fixture, as they picked up a 2-1 home win against Partizan. That was a crucial fixture towards their chances of progression, with Mario Lemina scoring the winning goal with just 13 minutes remaining. FC Köln remain in a very prominent position in the group standings, as they could seal their progression through to the next round of the competition with victory on Thursday. They bounced back from back-to-back defeats in their previous fixture in fine fashion last time out, as they recorded a win against Slovacko. It wasn’t the most straightforward game on the road for them, as they needed to wait until the final ten minutes to claim victory. The only goal of the game was scored from the penalty spot by Ondrej Duda. This is a repeat of the opening match from Group D in the Europa Conference League this term. On that occasion, the points were shared, as the sides played out a 1-1 draw. The scoring was opened by Steffen Tigges, but Nice equalised from the spot with just under half an hour remaining. This should be a tight fixture between two of the more talented sides in this group. However, neither will be looking to give too much away on Thursday. Therefore, the most likely result may be a draw, just as it was on matchday one. Make sure to bet on FC Köln vs Nice with 22Bet!
Villarreal has already assured their spot in the next round of the Europa Conference League this term, but Lech Poznan will be looking to join them in the knockout stage. However, the home side will need to pick up some important points in this fixture if they are to achieve that target. The team that looked set to top this group when the draw was made has made extremely lightwork of following through. Villarreal has been the commanding team in Group C of the Europa Conference League since the first ball was kicked, as the Spanish side has picked up four wins from the five matches that they have played. They are yet to suffer a defeat in the competition this term, and they have scored an incredible 14 goals to this point. Villarreal’s winning streak in the competition did come to an end last week, as they played their first match without Unai Emery. The Spanish side were held to a 2-2 home draw against H-Beer Sheva, with Samuel Chukwueze and Arnaut Danjuma scoring the goals in the tie. That recent setback will give Lech Poznan some hope that they could get a positive result themselves this week. The Polish side will need at least a point to qualify for the next round of the competition, as they have picked up six points from the five games that they have played. However, they come into this fixture after being held to draws in each of their previous three fixtures in the competition. Their latest draw was picked up against Austria Wien last week. They were denied maximum points in that fixture when the hosts fired home an equaliser after 70 minutes. This will be a repeat of a very entertaining match between the sides from matchday one. On that occasion, seven goals were shared by the sides, with Villarreal eventually claiming a 4-3 win after an 89th minute winner. The pressure will be off for Villarreal in this fixture, and they could rest a number of first-team players ahead of their La Liga commitments over the weekend. Therefore, we could see Poznan getting the point that they need to reach the next round of the competition. Make sure to bet on Loch Poznan vs Villarreal with 22Bet!
Top spot in Group A of the Europa Conference League is yet to be decided, but Istanbul Basaksehir will be looking to secure that final finishing position this week as they host SPL side Hearts. It has been an excellent Europa Conference League campaign to this point for Istanbul Basaksehir, but they will be looking to ensure that they have the best possible chance of going deep in the competition this term by finishing top of the Group A standings. They have their own fate in their own hands for this fixture, as they currently sit top of the group. However, they will need a victory to secure that finish. Istanbul has been fairly consistent throughout the season in Europe this term, as they have won three of the five games that they have played. They have lost on just one occasion, but they have scored the highest number of goals and conceded the fewest goals in Group B. Their first defeat in the competition this season was suffered in their previous match against Fiorentina. It has been a fairly decent campaign in the Europa Conference League this season for Hearts, but their journey will end after this fixture. Still, they will take confidence from the fact that they have won twice in five games, and will not finish bottom of the Group B standings. They picked up a second victory in the competition this term in their previous match, as they claimed a 2-1 home win against RFS. The scoring was opened after just three minutes by Lawrence Shankland, before Andy Haliday scored the scored goal in the match just nine minutes later. This is just the second European meeting between these two club sides. The first meeting came on matchday one, with Istanbul claiming a very comfortable 4-0 away success. Hearts will need to be much better in this reverse fixture if they have any hope of getting something out of the game. Istanbul were extremely dominant in the previous fixture between the two sides on matchday one. That is extremely concerning when it comes to the chances of Hearts in the reverse fixture on Thursday. We struggle to look past the Turkish side. Make sure to bet on Istanbul Basaksehir vs Hearts with 22Bet!
One of the most open groups in the Europa League this term will reach its conclusion on Thursday. Just three points separate the teams sitting at either end of the standings coming into matchday six, with both Lazio and Feyenoord being aware that victory on Thursday will ensure their passage through to the next round. Group F has been one of the most captivating groups in the Europa League this season, and we are still no nearer to finding out the two sides that will be playing in the knockout round. Coming into matchday six, Lazio remain the current leaders in the standings, but they are level on points with Sturm Graz, and they are just three clear of the bottom two teams in the standings. The Italian side has won two from five games in the competition this season, which includes a vitally important success in their previous fixture against Midtjylland. That was a huge fixture for both sides in the context of this group, but Lazio showed all their character to battle back from 1-0 down to claim a 2-1 victory. The winning goal was scored before the hour mark by Pedro. Feyenoord are one of the teams sitting in the bottom two places that could yet qualify for the next round of the competition. The Dutch side has picked up just one win from the five games that they have played to this point, but they are the highest scorers in Group F with 12 goals. Feyenoord had a glorious chance to go into one of the top two positions in their previous fixture, but they could only play out a 1-0 defeat on the road against Sturm Graz. They had more than their fair share of chances in that game, but they couldn’t find a way through. The previous meeting between the sides on matchday one was the third time that these two sides had clashed. However, it was the first time that Lazio had claimed victory in the fixture. The Italian side should feel confident coming into this fixture, as they are unbeaten in their previous four matches against teams from the Netherlands. Lazio’s record against Dutch opposition is incredibly strong, and they looked to have the better quality in the previous meeting between the sides. Therefore, we could see the visiting side taking the points once again this week. Make sure to bet on Feyenoord vs Lazio with 22Bet!
The key game in Group C of the Europa League on matchday six comes from Italy, as both Roma and Ludogorets are in direct competition for the second qualifying spot. Both sides are locked on seven points apiece, but the advantage at this stage is with the travelling side, who sits in second. This is a key fixture in the Europa League this season, as both Roma and Ludogorets will be looking for a result that will get them through to the next round of the competition. However, the pressure will be on the home side, as Roma will need maximum points to take second spot on the final matchday in Group C. Jose Mourinho will be bitterly disappointed to see his side crash out at this stage of the competition, as they were among the pre-tournament favourites to win the Europa League. The Italian giants have made extremely hard work of the group to this point, as they have picked up just two wins from five games. However, they were excellent last week, as they kept their hopes alive with a 2-1 away win against HJK. Lodogorets will have the added advantage in this fixture of knowing that even a point could see them progress through to the next round. They have picked up seven points from the fixtures that they have played to this point, as they have won twice in the five games that they have played. However, a defeat in this fixture will see them miss out on a place in the playoff round. Lodogorets will be hoping for a better result than they managed in their previous fixture, as they were beaten 1-0 at home by Real Betis. But, they hold every chance if playing at the same standard. Ludogorets managed to record a famous victory against Roma on matchday one, which was also the only previous meeting between the sides. However, the Italian side has a strong home record against clubs from Bulgaria, as they are unbeaten in their previous four. This is a massive match in the Europa League for both Roma and Ludogorets. However, Mourinho’s big game experience could be the difference maker on Thursday, as we could see Roma picking up the victory that they need to reach the playoff round. Make sure to bet on Roma vs Lodogorets with 22Bet!
It has been a tense campaign in Group C of the Europa League, but that pressure hasn’t been felt by Real Betis, who are sailing through as group winners. The Spanish side has already done their job in the campaign, while HJK are destined to finish bottom of the standings. Real Betis has been one of the standout teams in the Europa League so far this season, as they have easily breezed through to the next round of the competition after winning four of the five games that they have played. Last week’s victory means that they have secured top spot in the group with a game to spare, which means that we could see Manuel Pellegrini resting key players this weekend. The Spanish side has scored a group high of nine goals in Group C this season, and they have allowed the fewest goals, having allowed just four. Betis were very professional winners in their previous fixture in the Europa League, as they picked up a 1-0 victory on the road against Ludogorets. The winning goal was scored by Nabil Fekir. HJK would have always been aware that they faced an uphill struggle to reach the next round of the Europa League this season, as they were drawn in one of the most difficult groups. The Finnish side is yet to win in five fixtures this season, and they have lost on four occasions. A second defeat in a row was inflicted in their previous fixture, as they were beaten by AS Roma at home. The only goal for the home side in that defeat was scored early in the second half by Perparim Hetemaj. This is the return game from the opening fixture in Group C this season. On that occasion, Betis ran out extremely comfortable winners on the road against their Finnish rivals. Both goals in the 2-0 win were scored by Willian Jose. HJK are also winless on three previous visits to Spain. HJK has a poor record away from home against Spanish opposition, and that is likely to be damaging to their chances this week. Therefore, we find it extremely difficult to see past the home side taking the points, and we could see them picking up a 2-0 win. Make sure to bet on Real Betis vs HJK with 22Bet!
The Europa League group stages conclude this week, as Fenerbahce will be looking to wrap up top spot in Group B. The Turkish side has already ensured their passage through to the next round, but they will be in a battle with Rennes to finish in the top spot. The two teams that will be progressing through to the next round of the Europa League from Group B have already been determined. However, the team that will top the group is yet to be decided. Fenerbahce will be looking to finish in the top spot, but they will need to better Rennes result on the final day. The Turkish side has won three from five games in the competition this term, and are the highest scorers in the group, having found the back of the net on eleven occasions. However, they will need to bounce back to form after being held to a draw in their previous fixture against Rennes. That was a very entertaining match between the two sides, as they shared six goals. Enner Valencia, Miha Zajc and Emre Mor scored the goals in that tie. It has been a very disappointing group stage campaign for Dynamo Kyiv, as they look set to finish bottom of the group standings. However, that isn’t all that surprising, given that they have played few domestic games throughout the season to this point. In the Europa League, they have failed to win in the five games that they have played. However, they did end a four game losing streak in the competition in their previous fixture, as they played out a 3-3 draw against AEK Larnaca. Denys Hamash scored a late equaliser in that fixture to save a point. The previous meeting between the sides was a very close affair, with Fenerbahce just about running out 2-1 winners. They scored the winning goal in that fixture in the 92nd minute, but Kyiv were more than good value for a point and would have counted themselves as unlucky. This should be another tight game between these sides, just as it was on matchday one. However, we struggle to see past the Turkish side, as they look to wrap up top spot in the Group B standings this Thursday. Make sure to bet on Dynamo Kyiv vs Fenerbahce with 22Bet!
The top two in Group E go head-to-head in a playoff that will determine who tops the group and who qualifies second. The unbeaten Real Sociedad will welcome the side second in the group Man United to the Estadio Anoeta on Thursday at 18:45 GMT as both teams go for the win that will guarantee a top spot for either of them on matchday 6. Can Real Sociedad Maintain their 100% Record in Group E? Imanol Alguacil and his charges have been flawless in their Europa League campaign so far this term. After five wins out of five, they will be looking to make this run a perfect six out of six in Group E when they face Man United on Thursday. Alguacil will focus on offering a dynamic, disciplined, and aggressive performance against a Man United side experiencing an upturn in form in recent matches in the Premier League. Alguacil will insist on defensive solidity, a concerted pressing game, and a dynamic and fast attacking approach. This will allow the La Liga side to control the game, tempi, and create chances. Can Man United Get the Win they Need to Top Group E? Erik Ten Hag and his men will know that they need to better the 0-1 defeat they suffered at home to Sociedad on matchday 1 to stand a chance of topping the group. Man United will focus on the intensity of their performance, attacking quality, and the ability of their midfield to dominate the game and set the tempo, to stand a chance of emerging victorious. The defensive shape will be important for Ten Hag’s men coming up against a side that has scored 10 times in their campaign. However, given that Sociedad have conceded once in five outings, Man United will need to be precise in attack to stand a chance of creating and scoring chances. Real Sociedad have been perfect in Group E. They have won five times out of their five outings in the group thus far. They have plundered 10 goals while conceding just once. They have hauled 15 points and sit at the summit of the group, 3 points ahead of Thursday’s opponents Man United. Their defensive solidity has been complemented well with a precise attack that has penetrated and plundered goals to give them maximum points in the group. Man United opened the group with a 0-1 defeat at home to Real Sociedad. However, they bounced back with four straight victories to book their place in the knockout places in the Europa League this term. Ten Hag’s charges have grabbed 9 goals and conceded 3. They have collected 12 points out of the available 15. However, they will be hoping to qualify as group leaders; this means they have to win with a margin better than the 0-1 defeat they suffered against their Thursday opponents. The 32-year-old Spanish professional has been brilliant for Sociedad this term. He brings energy, work rate, intensity, and aggression into the Sociedad midfield whenever he has played this season. Illarramendi will be central to Sociedad’s performance against Man United. The focus will be on winning the ball back quickly, protecting the back four, and destroying build-up in midfield. Illarramendi will be pivotal in driving the Sociedad midfield on Thursday. The Portuguese international has hit his stride in recent matches for Ten Hag’s side. His goal threat has returned while his creativity and work rate in midfield have improved considerably. He has become an integral part of Ten Hag’s approach to games; he can press with aggression while using the ball effectively when in possession to ensure retention of possession or the creation of dangerous situations. Sociedad will seek to be at their dynamic and attacking selves. They will make tidy use of the ball and seek to be vertical in their passing. Man United will look to dominate the ball and set the tempo of the match. They will also counter-press and make sure Sociedad do not have easy possession. Man United have the firepower and form to win this match and top the group. Make sure to bet on Arsenal vs Zurich with 22Bet!
Arsenal are yet to seal the top spot in Group A after they lost away to PSV on matchday 5. Arteta’s men will be looking to get the three points they need to qualify at the top of the group when the host FC Zurich on Thursday at 21:00 GMT. Zurich will be looking to avoid finishing at the bottom of the group with a win at the Emirates Stadium. Can Arsenal Regain their Winning Touch with Victory Over FC Zurich? With the Gunners travelling to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Mikel Arteta will have that match in mind when choosing the team to face FC Zurich on Thursday. However, the need and hunger to win this match and seal the top spot in Group A will be high ahead of the kick-off on Thursday. Arteta and the team he picks to play Zurich will be focused on keeping the performance levels high to bolster their chances of winning. The gaffer will want his side to be purposeful on the ball, recycle possession fast across the pack, and progress the ball vertically to create chances. Can FC Zurich Cause an Upset with a Win at the Emirates Stadium? FC Zurich will need to be aggressive off the ball to stand a chance of taking anything from the clash with Arsenal. With the Gunners expected to dominate possession and dictate the tempo of the proceedings for large swathes of the match, aggression will be crucial in winning the ball back. Aggressive pressing will also be important in cutting off passing lanes and making it harder for Arsenal to progress the ball into the final third and pose danger in front of goal. They will also need to be brave when they get the ball, string some offensive passes together, and leverage set pieces to create chances in the Arsenal box. Arteta’s charges began their Group A campaign in sterling form. They won their first four matches, collecting 12 points and topping the group. However, they lost their last clash away to PSV, which means they top the group by 2 points. Arsenal’s Gunners have scored 7 goals while conceding 3 times in the run of five matches. Before the 2-0 defeat to PSV, they had conceded just 1 goal. The Gunners have demonstrated good form in keeping clean sheets while maintaining a robust attacking edge. They will need this balance to bolster their chances of defeating Zurich on Thursday. Zurich’s form in Group A has been wretched. They have won once and lost four times in their five fixtures in the group so far this term. They have collected three points out of the available 12, and they are in the basement of Group A. FC Zurich have scored 5 times in their five matches in the Europa League group stage; they have conceded 15 times in the process. This record has been poor at this level. Their defensive solidity has been elusive as they have conceded the most goals in the group while scoring the second least behind Bodo/Glimt. The midfielder is likely to start this clash as Arteta rotates much of his team in preparation for the London derby against Chelsea on Sunday. Odegaard will bring his creative nouse, work rate, and pressing ability to the clash. He will be central to Arsenal’s forward play as they look to create chances enough to win the match. The wingback will be central to providing Zurich with the width they need to stretch the Arsenal midfield and defence when attacking. Boranijasevic also offers a goal from wide, which is important. He will be pivotal in falling back and defending against Arsenal’s pacey forward players. Arsenal will play a patient, possession-based, and pressing game. They will dominate the ball, dictate the tempo of the clash, and have the best goal-scoring chances. Zurich will be pragmatic in their approach. They will defend in numbers and be aggressive when out of possession. Make sure to bet on Arsenal vs Zurich with 22Bet!
It’s only a few weeks until the world’s largest football event starts in Qatar. From the 20th of November to the 18th of December we will witness the 2022 World Cup, where top nations will fight for the title. The World Championship will be held in winter, which is also an innovation. For the first time in history, the competition will occur during winter. Naturally, the transfer of the tournament to the winter is a necessary measure. The fact is that in summer in Qatar the average temperature exceeds +40 degrees. Playing in such conditions is simply unrealistic and life-threatening. In winter, the climate is much more pleasant. The average temperature is about +25 degrees. While there were widespread concerns regarding human rights in Qatar, everything seems fine now. FIFA President Gianni Infantino noted in his video message, that the country has everything to deliver the best edition of the World Cup. Stadiums, pitches, great infrastructure, and the metro are at the highest level possible. Holding World Cup in Qatar is a conscious policy of FIFA aimed at popularizing football throughout the world. Of course, everyone remembers very well that four years ago the World Cup was held in Russia, where similar competitions had not been held before either. In general, in the 21st century, FIFA’s leadership has significantly expanded its geography. It was noted recently, that ticket sales approached 3 million and there is still time for more. The demand has been the highest from countries including Qatar, the USA, Argentina, France, and Brazil. Ticket holders will be able to retrieve mobile tickets through email. The tournament will open at Al Bay Stadium on November 20th, where Qatar will face Ecuador. It will also be the first edition in the Middle East and Arab world. In addition, the organizers have made 30,000 rooms available for visitors. The accommodation will actually include apartments, hotels, and fan villages. Organizers have also emphasized, that during the course of the tournament, visitors will have access to different entertainment. For Example, Al Bidda Park will host fans daily, where they will attend matches, watch renowned artists and engage in football activities. Food and beverage are also an option. Furthermore, the scene will feature roving performances and beverage kiosks. The Qatar Show will demonstrate music, composed by famous Qatari artist Wael Binali. Riding attractions will also be provided. No doubt, dancing will be an integral part of the show. Last-Mile Cultural Activations will provide 6,000 performances in 21 locations. In general, there will be plenty activities provided for all the visitors. The 2022 World Cup matches will be played at eight stadiums in five cities. Qatar is a small state, so the location of the arenas turned out to be very compact. The maximum distance between the arenas will be only 70 kilometers. In theory, you can get at least all the matches of the day, given the close distance. Journalists should feel especially great in Qatar, for whom attendance at matches is free. Stadiums at the World Cup will be a real work of art. Organizers and the whole country have worked extremely hard to make everything top-level. FIFA Chief Operating Officer, Colin Smith, was one of the first to say that everything is ready for successful delivery. Over 168 official sites have been fully operational. Stadiums are tested as well as accreditation centres and he believes, Qatar is more than ready for hosting the tournament. Officials also believe that the 2022 World Cup will be the best held in recent years. Visitors will not be far from entertainment and they will manage to engage directly in any kind of activities.
We return to domestic action after a midweek spent enjoying the best European football has to offer in the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League. The top European leagues are in action as they continue to race through games before breaking later this month for the World Cup in Qatar. The schedule is jam-packed with many eye-catching fixtures scheduled to be shown live on television. The match we focus on comes from the top tier of Italian football, where two contenders collide in Atalanta and Napoli. There is still plenty of football to be played in Italy, but here we have a home team that is hopeful of winning the points on offer here to drive themselves back into contention for the league title. Napoli is the current league leader and sits pretty after a dozen matches. The team from Naples have been in great form in Serie A and the Champions League, topping the division and the group. They will be playing Champions League knockout football in the new year, and that’s something for fans to look forward to. But the players must concentrate on the here and now, aiming for the three points available on Saturday. The recent form attached to this fixture shows these teams met twice last season and produced a pair of high-scoring matches. The first game was a five-goal thriller which Atalanta won 3-2 last December. The second match produced another four goals when Napoli won 3-1 at this venue in April this year. Sticking with the stats, both teams have scored at least once in each of their last four meetings and five of their last six. Armchair fans hope this renewal provides us with more goals and plenty of talking points. Atalanta has established themselves as a top-four side in Serie A, and in most seasons, they can be found challenging for the prize places and mixing it in the Champions League. They haven’t been strong enough to challenge in recent seasons, but could things change this year? If Atalanta wins this match at home on Saturday, they will catapult themselves into the running, forcing critics to take their chances of challenging the title seriously. A win over Napoli would be their biggest of the season and would change the look of Serie A. They prepare for what will be game 13 of their season with stats of eight wins and three draws against one defeat with 18 goals scored and eight conceded. Taking a closer look at those numbers, we note Atalanta has one of the best defensive records in the league, and they have conceded one goal fewer than their opponents. They have been strong in defence but have lacked a cutting edge at the opposite end of the field, scoring just 18 goals. When measuring that effort against teams around them in the table, Napoli has 30 goals, with third-placed AC Milan hitting 25. They must be more ruthless going forward. The home team were last seen in league action last Sunday when beating Empoli 2-0 away from home. That was a valuable win and an impressive one, as the stars had to roll up their sleeves and find the patience needed to keep it tight and take their chances in attack. Goals from Hateboer and Lookman were enough to see Atalanta leave with the spoils. Their recent league form now shows three wins, one draw and a defeat. Three points from this home match would move them to within two points of the leaders. Napoli travel for this match sitting on top of Serie A with an unbeaten record in their opening dozen games. The league leaders carry form of 10 wins against two draws with 30 goals scored and nine conceded. They don’t have the tightest defence, but it’s certainly up there with the best. A watertight defence isn’t required when they are scoring goals for fun, with the pace setters also setting the standard for goals. This team is oozing class and confidence at the minute, and they have been as impressive in the Champions League as they were in Italy. They beat Liverpool easily in Italy on matchday one and haven’t looked back since. It has already been ...
Shakhtar Donetsk enjoys home advantage over RB Leipzig in the final match of the group stage. It’s looking increasingly likely that, despite a gallant effort from the Ukrainian side, they are up against it on matchday six, knowing victory is a must if they are to find a way into the knockout stages. Ahead of this match, the home team are staring at elimination from the competition, which could inspire one last roll of the dice. To stand any chance of playing in this competition after Christmas, Donetsk must beat RB Leipzig and do it in style. The Germans haven’t been as impressive as fans had hoped in their opening few games, but they eventually found their feet and start round six with a chance of finishing top of the table. With RB Leipzig off to Poland to play Shakhtar Donetsk on neutral ground and Real Madrid needing a home win over Celtic to secure the top spot, it’s set up for a thrilling finish. Will Blancos do as expected and hold their ground? Can RB Leipzig get the win needed to make the current leaders uncomfortable? These teams have met only once before in competitive action, and that match came earlier in his campaign when Shakhtar Donetsk won well in Germany. RB Leipzig is a team that has been underperforming at this level – considering how much cash they spend on transfers – and they were blown away by Shakhtar on matchday one when losing 4-1 at home. That was one of the team’s biggest defeats at this level, and fans demand a response from the players here. Lose again, and things will get interesting as the group changes shape. Shakhtar start this match placed third in Group F with six points on the board. Celtic are the only team beneath them in the pecking order, and the Scots will stay where they are and wind up at the foot of the table. They have two points on the board but failed to make an impact on a group that looked to be there for the winning. Real Madrid hasn’t been at their best – they haven’t needed to be – while RB Leipzig has blown hot and cold since the start. Celtic have been terrible while Shakhtar have overachieved., There are a few different stories going on in this group, and it’s one of the last remaining pools where there’s something to play for at this late stage. Donetsk set up for this home match in game six, knowing the consolation of the Europa League and a third-place finish is the least they can expect. With stats of one win, three draws and a defeat, they have six points on the board, four more than bottom club Celtic, and three behind RB Leipzig, who they have already beaten. Real Madrid is four points clear but just one better than RB, and that will create a few nerves in the camp of the La Liga champions. Despite holding their own and performing better than most expected, Donetsk has fallen off the pace in recent weeks and is without a win in their last four games at this level. However, they haven’t been losing, with three of those four ending in a draw. They have been playing well but have lacked the killer instinct and sharpness in front of goal to turn chances into goals and draws into wins. They have nothing to lose here, knowing they can’t finish bottom, and that allows Donetsk to have a go at winning this. It has been far from a perfect campaign for RB Leipzig, and it looked like they could be heading for the exit after six group games. The Bulls travel to Poland for this match, with their campaign stats showing three wins against two defeats, with nine goals scored and nine conceded. The German Bundesliga side lost each of their opening two games, including that heavy defeat against Wednesday’s opponents. RB was bottom of the league before running into Celtic and taking six points from the Scots to shove them back into contention. After losing each of their first two games, RB Leipzig turned things around and has now won each of their last three. They beat Celtic in Germany and then repeated the feat in Glasgow, and those back-to-back wins fired them up the table. Wit...
It’s the final Champions League match of the year, as round six from the group stages is played on Wednesday. Soon, attention will turn to Qatar for the FIFA World Cup, but before then, football fans have a fantastic evening of action ahead. You’ll find in-depth previews of the most interesting matches, but here we focus on a cracker from Italy. Juventus plays PSG in what armchair fans are hoping becomes a goal-fest. It would be no surprise to see the Parisians challenging in the later stages of this competition, but there’s plenty of work to be done on that front. Heading into this match, Juventus are already out of the running and will finish no higher than third place and the consolation of dropping into the Europa League. It has been a woeful campaign for the Old Lady, but fans demand improvement before the curtain comes down. They may be out, but a win would help boost team morale. Juventus and PSG have met only once before in competitive action, and that came as a huge surprise as these are two clubs with a history of competing for major honours. The first meeting came earlier this season in Paris when the French Ligue 1 champions battled to a 2-1 victory. The goals that day were scored by Kylian Mbappe, who further boosted his value with a double, and that was enough to sink Juve, who responded through Weston McKennie. Do you expect more of the same here? Juventus are one of the biggest names in European football and the former winner of this trophy. The Old Lady dominated Italian football for the best part of a decade and remain the nation’s most successful team. But things have changed over the last few seasons. Since Juventus allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to rejoin Manchester United in the English Premier League – a move that hasn’t worked out well for either party – they haven’t lived up to those high standards. They went from a team winning Serie A by a wide margin to one fighting to finish in the top four. They have been poor again this season and can be found down in third place in Champions League Group H with just three points on the board. Their form in this competition reads one win against four defeats, with eight goals scored and 11 conceded. The only team Juve have beaten in that group was bottom club Maccabi Haifa, but defeat to the same team followed, and it was that loss that proved too hard to take for fans. They have had enough of watching the players underachieve, and things could turn ugly if PSG comes to Italy and heap on pressure. Despite winning each of their last three games in Serie A, Juventus is in seventh place with 22 points on the board. Form of six wins, four draws and two defeats leaves them 10 points off the pace set by leaders Napoli but just three points behind Roma and a place in the top four. With Juve taking nine points from their last three games, they have thrown themselves back into the mix domestically, and it would boost team morale if they were to get something at home against PSG. PSG took control of the group early, winning each of their first two games to move into a commanding position. The poor form of their opponents and Maccabi means they were already through to the next stage when winning last week, but there’s still all to play for. PSG enter round six sitting on top of the group with their form showing three wins against two draws with 14 goals scored and six conceded. They are through, but will PSG finish as group winners? If they win their final match against Juventus in Italy, the visitors will concrete pole position and send out a statement of intent to their rivals. It was a group they were the favourites to win, but most pundits expected the two teams involved in this match to be vying for the top spot. Benfica will go through with them, and it will be deserved. They are up against the bottom club Maccabi and are expected to win. That means PSG must at least match the result of Benfica if they are to hold their ground and pass this early challenge. PSG was last...
The top two in the Group H standings has already been confirmed, but Benfica could yet win the group if they can record a second straight win. They travel to Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday, with the home side looking for a victory that could book their spot in the Europa League after Christmas. It has been an excellent Champions League campaign to this point for Benfica, as they have already booked their spot in the next round of the competition. They have picked up three wins from five matches, and they are below PSG on goal difference. The Portuguese side is yet to lost in the competition this term, and they have scored ten goals, averaging two goals per game. Benfica bagged their spot in the next round of the competition in their previous fixture, as they registered an entertaining 4-3 win against Juventus. The Portuguese side led 3-1 at half time in that fixture following goals from Antonio Silva, Joao Mario and Rafa Silva. The latter added a second in the second half to ensure a memorable win for the Portuguese team. Maccabi Haifa has already been eliminated from the Champions League this season. However, they can still drop into the Europa League, as they sit level on points with Juventus. They have won just once in five fixtures this season, but they have scored the lowest number of goals in Group H, having found the net on just six occasions. They will be looking to bounce back after being hammered 7-2 by PSG in Paris in their previous fixture. Both goals in that defeat were scored by Abdoulaye Seck. This should be a more reasonable fixture, but they will need to be at the top of their game against an in-form Benfica. This will only be the second meeting between these two sides. The previous meeting came on matchday one, with Benfica landing a 2-0 win. However, the Portuguese side is yet to win in two previous efforts away from home against club sides from Israel. This should be an interesting fixture to round off proceedings in Group H. However, we like the chances of Benfica, as they have looked very strong throughout the competition this season. We could see the Portuguese side picking up a 2-1 win. Make sure to bet on Maccabi Haifa vs Benfica with 22Bet!
The final round of fixtures in Group G of the Champions League take place on Wednesday. Borussia Dortmund will be looking to round off their campaign with a victory on the road as they take on Copenhagen. The home side is yet to claim victory in the competition this term. The final game in the Champions League group stages for Borussia Dortmund take on Copenhagen. The German side has lost once in five games in the competition this season, as they have won twice this term. Dortmund come into this fixture after being held to draws in each of their previous two fixtures, but they will be confident coming into this match after a solid display against Manchester City in their previous fixture. Neither side did enough to claim the points in that fixture, as the two sides played out a 0-0 draw in Germany. Dortmund threatened throughout the contest, as they registered four shots on target. However, they will be hopeful of having more possession in this fixture after having just 27% of the ball against City last week. Copenhagen has already been eliminated from contention this term, as they have failed to win in their previous five matches. They have picked up just two draws in the Champions League this term, and they have allowed eleven goals. Most worryingly, the Danish side is yet to score a single goal in the Champions League this term. They were handed a third defeat in their previous fixture, as they lost 3-0 on the road against Sevilla. Davit Khocholava was sent off in that fixture, meaning that he will be unavailable for this final match against Dortmund on Wednesday. This will be the fourth European meeting between Dortmund and Copenhagen, with each of the previous three being won by the German side. The previous meeting came on matchday one, with Dortmund picking up a routine 3-0 win. Their chances of victory are further heightened as they are unbeaten against Danish opposition in five previous meetings. This should be a routine evening for Dortmund in Denmark, as they look far too strong for the hosts. We could see the away team landing a 3-0 win to round off their Group G campaign. Make sure to bet on Copenhagen vs Borussia Dortmund with 22Bet!
Chelsea have already booked their spot in the next round of the Champions League, but they will be looking to recover after suffering a first defeat under Graham Potter in their previous fixture in the Premier League. Dinamo Zagreb could yet finish third in the group, but they will need to pick up maximum points in this fixture. It had been an excellent start to Graham Potter’s tenure at Chelsea. However, they were inflicted a first defeat during his reign in the Premier League over the weekend, as they were heavily beaten by Brighton & Hove Albion. But, their form in the Champions League has been very strong throughout the season, and their place in the next round of the competition is already assured. Chelsea has won three of the five games that they have played, with their only defeat coming in the reverse of this fixture earlier in the competition. Since then, Chelsea have won their previous three matches, and they come into the final round of fixtures three points ahead of AC Milan. The Blues were handy 2-1 winners in their previous fixture against RB Salzburg, with Kai Havertz scoring the winning goal. Dinamo Zagreb can still qualify for the Europa League this season, but they look unlikely to make it through to the knockout rounds of the Champions League. Their only win in the competition this season came against the Blues on matchday one, but they have lost three of their previous four fixtures in the competition. Their most recent defeat was suffered against AC Milan last week, with the Italian giants running out very comfortable 4-0 winners. Zagreb managed just six shots on target in that fixture, but they never looked like opening their account in that fixture. The only previous meeting between these sides came on matchday one, with Zagreb claiming a famous 1-0 win against the Blues. However, a Croatian side has never won away from home against an English club. This looks like a great game for Chelsea to bounce back to form after losing in the Premier League over the weekend. The Blues should have far too much in the final third for their Croatian rivals, and we could see Havertz back on the scoresheet in a 2-0 win for Chelsea. Make sure to bet on Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb with 22Bet!
Round six of the Champions League group phase, and we see the final fixtures of the year before the competition makes way for the FIFA World Cup, which begins in Qatar later this month. We can’t wait to get started as the World Cup visits the Arab World for the first time, marking a piece of sporting history. Our team of experts plan to bring you unrivalled coverage of the games and outright chances of the top teams. But before that, we must finish what we started. There’s value to be found in midweek; we’re here to help you nail those Champions League predictions. Our team of football writers have previewed the best games of the schedule, and they don’t come much bigger than the one at the Etihad Stadium, where England takes on Spain. EPL champions Manchester City enjoy the home advantage and aim to finish with a flurry, using the home-field advantage to bag another three points. Fans want to see the Citizens show their main rivals in England and on the continent what’s coming their way. Armchair fans can catch the match on live streaming apps and television. Man City and Sevilla have met only three times previously, with the English side dominating the fixture. Pep Guardiola’s men carry a 3-0-0 record over Sevilla into this match, and most pundits fancy them strongly to drag that to four not out. Will they achieve that at the Etihad? Read on to find the latest stats and form of Man City and Sevilla before we reveal our big match predictions. As ever, the aim here is to give our readers the stats and trends they need to make a well-informed prediction on how Wednesday’s game might play out. Man City are almost there When the English Premier League champions – chasing three-in-a-row this season – were dropped into Champions League Group G, they were expected to progress without encountering too much resistance. Things have gone according to plan on that front, and Pep’s boys will be playing in the knockout stages once again. They are yet to win this title – despite spending millions trying to achieve exactly that – with a final defeat to Chelsea the best to show for their efforts. Man City have become dominant in England over the last few years and has won each of the two titles available since the pandemic was downgraded, and fans returned to football stadiums. But the Champions League is an itch they can’t seem to scratch. Every season they begin their European campaign as the favourites with experienced pundits to go all the way, win the European cup and finally take their place in the history books. Every season they reach the later rounds, and fans begin to get their hopes up before being let down. There’s a feeling of deja vu amongst the City fans. The home team heads into this match sitting in pole position, with their stats for the group showing three wins against two draws. Despite being one of only a few unbeaten sides left in the competition, Man City are not yet across the line. They still have work to do with Borussia Dortmund in second place, three points off the pace. A solid home win over Sevilla is what the fans want to see, but Pep may field a weakened team and take the point needed to finish top. That’s easier to trust when learning they have drawn each of their last two at this level. Sevilla travels to England, knowing they are drinking in the last-chance saloon. They enter this match sitting third in the table with five points on the board thanks to one win and two draws from five games. They remain in the running and know they are likely to finish third and drop into the Europa League, a competition that has brought them success in the past. But not one player in the away locker room on Wednesday will be ready to throw in the towel. This is a chance for Sevilla to show they belong at this level, and a win over Man City would certainly prove that. They have never beaten the Cityzens in the past, and if they want to go through, they must snap that losing streak and do it in style. But there’s more. Sevi...
Bayern Munich faces Inter Milan on matchday six of the UEFA Champions League, and this will be one of the most popular midweek fixtures with armchair fans. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see either or both of these teams playing in the final of the competition next year, but the pressure is off here. Followers get a chance to watch some of the best players on the planet strut their stuff, showcasing how strong and ambitious they are. Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are already through to the next stage, and both sides will be playing knockout football in the Champions League after the World Cup in Qatar. The Germans have already tied up the pool, sitting five points ahead of their opponents. Will that encourage the coaching staff to rest a few of their regular starters? It’s certainly possible, although FCB’s supporters wouldn’t take too kindly to it. They want to see their team defeat every opponent they play, and this game against the Italians will be no different. These sides have met just six times in the past in competitive action, and there has been little between the pair. The head-to-head stats at present show Bayern Munich has three wins while Inter Milan is on two, with the spare ending in a draw. FCB moved in front with a win over Inter in Italy back in September when they eased to a 2-0 victory. Sane and D’Ambrosio scored the goals in that game. With nothing at stake, all that’s left to play for his pride. How will that affect the score? Read on for our football team’s predictions. Bayern Munich is one of only a few teams left in this competition with a 100% record. The German Bundesliga champions are perched on top of the pool, with their stats for the campaign showing five wins from five games, with 16 goals scored and only two conceded. They have already proven themselves to be streets clear of this stage of the play, and – better yet, in the mind of fans – FCB are yet to hit full speed. There’s more to come from this outfit. Will we see an example of what they have left in the tank? That’s unlikely, with the group already tied up while the domestic games continue to come thick and fast. The champions are the hot favourites to defend their title and tighten that vice-like grip over the competition after dominating for a decade. The division is fast becoming just another one-horse race, but that has more to do with the quality of Bayern Munich than the lack of quality in the German top tier. Fans now want to see the famous old club back competing in the later stages of the Champions League. We last saw the home team in action on Saturday when they dismantled Mainz O5 at this venue in the league. It was a match they were short odds to win, but the players deserve the plaudits that have been coming their way with praise heaped on from all angles. Munich won that match by a 6-2 scoreline, and it could have been more. Looking through their form for the previous month, we note Bayern Munich scored 32 goals in all competitions. That’s frightening. Inter Milan knows they are up against it when travelling to the home of the group leaders, German champions and one of the favourites to win this season’s Champions League trophy. The cards are against them, with FCB holding all the aces, but Inter Milan isn’t here to simply make up the numbers. They are in a rich vein of form, unbeaten in their last four games, with Munich being the only team to beat them so far. Getting revenge in Germany would be a huge boost for the players, although they are already well-placed. Regardless of the result of this match, Munich will finish as group winners, with Inter Milan ending as the best of the rest, joining the Germans in the next phase. Like their hosts, it’s plain to see that there’s more to come from Inter this season, both in La Liga and at this level. They haven’t caught fire yet on either front, but that winning mentality that served them so well in the previous season hasn’t disappeared. This is one of the best teams that w...
Followers of the UEFA Champions League have their only round of matches in November before attentions turn to the World Cup in Qatar later this month. It’s round six of what has already been a memorable group campaign. More drama is expected, with many of the pools still to be won. Liverpool host Napoli in Group A, with both sides in with a chance of finishing in pole position, improving their draw in the next round. The Premier League and Serie A teams have handled themselves well in their opening five matches, with Liverpool and Napoli already through to the next round. Ajax will finish in third place, dropping into the Europa League, while Rangers’ return to the head table ends after six group games. That leaves a straight shootout between the clubs involved in this match, with the winner progressing as champions of the pool. Napoli sits in pole position with a 100% record, including a convincing win over Liverpool in Italy back on matchday one. Will the Italians do the double over their opponents by winning at Anfield and sending a clear statement of intent to the rest of the tournament? That remains to be seen, but our team of online soccer writers preview the action below, offering their views on the form, any injury news and predictions. Reds are in the running The locals know they are already through when heading into matchday six and a home match against Napoli. Win, lose or draw; they will be playing knockout football, which may encourage Klopp to rest some of his better players ahead of a weekend trip to Tottenham. They haven’t been performing too well in the league so far this season and beating Napoli to secure the pole may not feature as highly on the manager’s list of priorities as some fans believe it should. The starting lineup will tell us everything we need to know about Liverpool’s intentions. Their stats ahead of round six show four wins against one defeat, with 15 goals scored and only six conceded. They lost their opening match in Naples but responded to win each of their next four. Ajax fell before doing the double over Rangers at Anfield and then Ibrox. The latter was a great match that produced eight goals. The Gers netted the game’s first goal but were then slaughtered, Liverpool romping to a 7-1 home cheer. That seemed to do wonders for team morale, and they remained in the running with a win over Ajax when last playing in this competition. The 12 points gained from that purple patch leave the Reds on a dozen points, three shy of pace-setters Napoli. With the Italians beating Liverpool 4-1 in Naples, it would mean Liverpool would have to win by five or more goals to go through. Liverpool did lose at the weekend in the EPL when suffering a shock home defeat to Leeds United. Despite being written off pre-match, the team from Elland Road had enough class to silence the doubters. That heaps pressure on Klopp and his players to bounce back to winning ways as quickly as possible. Napoli is almost there It’s proving to be a remarkable season for Napoli, with their supporters partying on cloud nine since the start. When Ajax brushed past Rangers, the Italians put down a marker by hammering Liverpool on week one. That put them in pole position early, and there has been no looking back. The players now have the wind in their sails, and they won’t want to miss the chance to hold their ground and finish on top. The winner of the pool often receives an easier test in the next round, facing the runner-up of another group. Napoli is the leader and deserves to be after five wins and 15 points from their previous five games in this competition. There have been 20 goals scored and only four conceded. They have started the season in fine form. As well as taking control of Group A, they are also making a success of things in Serie A. Napoli are unbeaten in Europe and yet to taste defeat in Italy, topping Serie A with stats of 10 wins against two defeats with 30 goals scored and nine conceded. The 32 points collected...
AC Milan and RB Salzburg face off on Wednesday at 21:00 GMT for the final slot into the knockout stages of the Champions League, with just a point separating them in Group E heading into the final match of the group. A draw will be enough to see Milan through, while Salzburg have to win at the San Siro to make sure of qualification. Can AC Milan Get the Point they Need to Qualify from Group E? Stefano Pioli and his charges will know that a draw will be enough to see them through to the knockout stages. However, they will also be keenly aware of the danger posed by RB Salzburg after drawing with them in the opening fixture of the group. Milan will, therefore, have to go for the win to ensure they qualify from the group. Pioli will be looking for a disciplined and dynamic display on Wednesday against a tricky-looking Salzburg side with the considerable quality to hurt anyone on their day. Milan will be hoping home advantage will be pivotal in swinging the game, with the San Siro likely rocking for this clash. Can Salzburg Win Away from Home to Ensure Qualification? Matthias Jaissle and his men will have an uphill task when they step out to the San Siro turf on Wednesday to take on the host. However, they will back themselves to get the job done and get the win they need to secure qualification. Jaissle will know that his side need a perfect performance to overcome the Italian champions. The focus will therefore be on discipline and work rate. Discipline will ensure they are aggressive, positionally aware, and compact in their defence. This will be important in keeping Milan out. Work rate will help ensure they are dynamic and fluid when in possession and aggressive when out of possession. Milan have had a stop-start run in Group E. In their five outings so far, they have won two times, lost twice, and drawn once. They have scored eight times and conceded seven goals in the process. They have amassed 7 points from the available 15 and sit second in the group, three points behind Chelsea. Milan’s challenge in the group campaign has been conceding many goals. Although they are joint top scorers in the group with Chelsea with 8 goals scored, they have conceded the most in the group with 7 goals. Salzburg opened their Group E campaign with two consecutive draws at home t AC Milan and away to Chelsea. They followed this up with a win and draw in a double-header against Dinamo Zagreb. On matchday 5, Salzburg lost at home to Chelsea, setting up the playoff against Milan for the final berth in Group E. Salzburg have scored 5 times while conceding 5 goals. This underscores their challenge in the group. While they have underscored the group’s top two teams, their defensive record has not been solid enough to get the points they needed to qualify. The upshot is that they need to beat AC Milan at the San Siro to qualify for the knockout rounds of the Champions League. The experienced Frenchman has been pivotal for AC Milan this term. He will be important for the San Siro side when they face Salzburg on Wednesday. Giroud’s experience and character will come to the fore as Pioli’s side seek to complete their qualification. The pacey forward showed his importance to the Salzburg team with his well-take goal against Chelsea. Matthias Jaissle will set his team up to leverage their pace and dynamism up front, and Adamu will be a crucial part of this approach. Milan will seek to start fast with a dominant display characterised by the domination of the ball and control of the tempo of the clash. RB Leipzig will bide their time and pick the right moments to attack. In between, they will defend doggedly and close down Milan’s attackers. Milan will have too much for Salzburg, and they will win the three points on offer. Make sure to bet on AC Milan vs Red Bull Salzburg with 22Bet!
Although Real Madrid have sealed qualification from Group F, they have not secured the top spot in the group. They will be looking to take three points at the Santiago Bernabeu when they face bottom-of-the-group Celtic on Wednesday at 18:45 GMT. Can Real Madrid Get the Win they Need to Top Group F? Carlo Ancelotti and his charges will want to wrap up the top spot in Group F as they look to defend their title. Having gone two matches without a win in the group (a draw and a loss), Los Blancos will look to bounce back to winning ways. The unbeaten La Liga side will look to transfer their domestic form into the Champions League as they look to perform with intensity, dynamism, and energy against the Scottish Premiership side on Wednesday. Balance will be important for the home team as they are playing a team with nothing to play for, given that Celtic has already been eliminated from the group. Can Celtic Cause an Upset and Get their First Win in the Champions League this Term at the Bernabeu? After a winless run of five matches in Group F, Celtic will be looking to end their campaign on a high. They will be motivated to cause an upset at one of the grandest football stages in the world – the Santiago Bernabeu. Ange Postecoglou and his charges will focus on themselves and seek to display a performance marked by grit and discipline against the defending champions. Given Madrid’s attacking prowess, Celtic will need to defend with numbers, cut off any space, and make it difficult for Los Blancos forwards. The Scottish Premiership side must also be brave on the ball to stand a chance of troubling the Madrid rearguard. After a storming start to Group F, with three consecutive wins, Real Madrid have been winless in their last two outings – a draw and a defeat. This leaves them with 10 points at the top of the group. While this tally means they have already qualified for the knockout stage, they have not sealed the top spot of the group. Given their 1-point advantage at the top, Los Blancos will need a win in their last match to guarantee they will top the group. Ancelotti’s charges have scored a group-high 10 goals and conceded a group-low 5 goals. This highlights a robust balance between defensive solidity and attacking dynamism. Celtic have had a wretched run in Group F. Out of their five outings this term, they have drawn twice, lost three, and won none of their matches. Ange Postecoglou’s charges have collected just 2 points and sit at the bottom of the group. Celtic have scored 3 times and conceded 10 goals in the process. Their attacking play has let them down massively this term. The three goals they scored are five less than the next team, Shakhtar Donetsk. Additionally, their concession rate is the highest in the group, one goal more than the next team in the group, RB Leipzig. The 22-year-old Brazilian international has 6 goals in 12 appearances for Real Madrid in La Liga. The forward has also scored three times in five matches in the Champions League this term. Junior will be important for Madrid on Wednesday when they face Celtic and look to seal top-spot from Group F. The Japanese international has been in fine form for Celtic. He has eight goals in ten Scottish Premiership matches this term. His dynamism in attack, pace, and work rate have been crucial tools for Celtic. Although he has not scored in the Champions League this season, Furuhashi will be important for Celtic as they look to end their season on a high at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid will seek to impose their style on Celtic. They will dominate possession and dictate the tempo of the match. Celtic will bide their time, defend deep in numbers, and look to counter-attacks and set pieces to pose an attacking danger. Real Madrid will win the match and take all three points.

One of the most open Champions League groups reaches its conclusion on Tuesday, as Sporting Lisbon and Eintracht Frankfurt both look for a victory that will take them through to the next round of the competition. Group D can still go in a number of different ways, as all four teams involved could yet make it through to the knockout round of the Champions League. The advantage is currently with Sporting Lisbon, as the Portuguese side sits second in the standings. However, anything other than a victory in this fixture could see them exit the competition. Sporting has failed to win in their previous three fixtures. However, they were in strong form last weekend, as they were very deserving of a point against Tottenham Hotspur. The Portuguese side went ahead in the first half of that fixture, with Marcus Edwards opening the scoring after 22 minutes. However, they needed a VAR intervention at the end of the fixture to avoid losing the fixture in North London. Eintracht Frankfurt can still qualify for the next round of the competition, but they will need to claim victory on the road against Sporting. They have won two of the five games that they have played in the Champions League this season. However, they are the lowest scorers in Group D, having found the back of the net on just five occasions. They kept their hopes alive of reaching the next round of the competition last week, as they picked up a 2-1 home win against Marseille. Daichi Kamada and Randal Kolo Muani scored the goals in that vital fixture, They should come into this match in good confidence, and that could be vitally important. The previous meeting between the sides was won 3-0 by Sporting. That was the only previous meeting between the teams in European competition. However, Frankfurt were winners on their previous visit to Portugal, as they beat Vitoria 1-0 in October 2019. This should be a tense fixture between two sides still in the hunt for a place in the next round of the competition. However, Sporting looked incredibly strong in the previous meeting between the sides, and we could see them claiming a second straight win against their German rivals this week. Make sure to bet on Sporting Lisbon vs Eintracht Frankfurt with 22Bet!
Barcelona will end their Champions League campaign on Tuesday, as they take on Viktoria Plzen away from home. The Spanish side has already been eliminated from the competition this season, and will be playing in the Europa League after Christmas. For the second season running, Barcelona have been eliminated from the Champions League at the group stage. The Spanish giants are destined to finish third in the standings after being beaten in three of the five games that they have played. Barcelona has gone four without a victory in the competition, which includes a defeat in their previous fixture against Bayern Munich. The Spanish giants looked very weak against Bayern Munich last time out, as they failed to register a single shot on target. Barcelona were beaten 3-0 in that fixture, and they were 2-0 down after just half an hour. This looks a much more winnable fixture on Tuesday, and Xavi will be hoping that his side can pick up a morale-boosting win on the road against the minnows Viktoria Plzen would have been aware that they faced an uphill struggle to reach the next round of the competition this season when the draw was made. They have looked outclassed throughout the competition this term, as they have lost all five games that they have played. In total, they have conceded on 20 occasions, and they have scored just three times. Viktoria were well beaten in their previous fixture, as they were hammered 4-0 on the road by Inter Milan. The Italian side could have won that fixture by more, as they registered a staggering 22 shots. However, a number of missed chances meant that Viktoria were only beaten by four goals. This is the fourth meeting between these two sides, with the previous three having been won by Barcelona. During that run, the Spanish side has scored on eleven occasions, and they have conceded just once. Barcelona’s previous visit to Viktoria ended in a 4-0 win back in 2011. It may not have been a very strong campaign in the Champions League this term for Barcelona, but we still expect them to claim a comfortable victory on the road this week. We could see the Spanish side picking up a 3-0 win. Make sure to bet on Viktoria Plzen vs Barcelona with 22Bet!
The final round of fixtures in the Champions League group stages are staged this week. The qualification spots in Group B are already determined, with FC Porto joining Club Brugge in the next round. However, Bayer Leverkusen will be looking for a second win to book a place in the Europa League after Christmas. It has been an excellent season in the Champions League this term for Club Brugge, and they will be looking to secure top spot in Group B with a victory against Bayer Leverkusen. However, they will be looking to bounce back after suffering a first defeat in the competition in their previous fixture. That defeat was a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Porto, as they looked like a team that had already booked their spot in the next round. The side from Belgium were comprehensively outplayed in that fixture, as they were 3-0 down after just 70 minutes. They only managed four shots on target in that fixture, and they will need a much better performance this week if they want to wrap up top spot in the group standings. Bayer Leverkusen will likely be extremely disappointed with their performances in the Champions League this season, as they have picked up just one victory from the five games that they have played. They come into this fixture sitting bottom of the group standings, but they could yet qualify for the Europa League after Christmas. Leverkusen played out a very entertaining 2-2 draw against Atletico Madrid in their previous fixture. The goals for the German side in that draw were netted by Moussa Diaby and Callum Hudson-Odoi. Victory will leave them hoping for a favour from Porto to finish third in the group standings. This will be just the third meeting between the two sides, with the Belgian side unbeaten in the previous meetings. The latest fixture between the sides came earlier in the competition, with Club Brugge taking a 1-0 victory in their home fixture. Club Brugge looked a side that knew that they had qualified last week, and that means that they will need to be more motivated this week. However, we like the chances of Leverkusen picking up the victory to book a spot in the Europa League. Make sure to bet on Bayer Leverkusen vs Club Brugge with 22Bet!
Porto are still in contention to top Group B when they host Atletico Madrid on Tuesday at the Estadio do Dragao from 18:45 GMT, as the Spanish side look for the win that will seal Europa League qualification from the group. Can Porto get the Three Points they Need to Bolster their Chances of Topping Group B? Porto are one point behind the group leaders, Club Brugge, heading into the final match of the group stages. A win for them at home to Atletico will keep their chances of topping the group, depending on the result of the other match in the group. Sérgio Conceição and his men will look to win the clash with Atletico at the Estadio do Dragao on Tuesday with an energetic and tactically disciplined performance. The focus will be on a robust balance between their attack and defense coming up against the Atletico side that has been blowing hot and cold this season. Atletico will need to be at their tactical best to stand a chance of taking the three points they need to guarantee a place in the Europa League knockout phase. Diego Simeone and his men have underperformed this season resulting in their inability to progress from Group B. However, Simeone will hope that his side can proceed into the Europa League. Tuesday’s clash in Porto will present a chance for the Atletico players to showcase their mettle under pressure. They will need to be tactically aware to nullify the danger posed by Porto while retaining their attacking cutting edge. Domestically, Porto have been off the pace. They have won seven times, drawn twice, and lost twice in the Primeira Liga. They currently trail league leaders Benfica by eight points in second. Porto lost their opening two rounds of fixtures in Group B before responding with three consecutive wins. Overall, they have won three times and lost twice. They have scored 10 goals and conceded 6; they boast the best goal difference in Group B. They have collected 9 points out of the available 15. They currently sit second in Group B, a point behind leaders Club Brugge. Atletico have been below par in their performances in Group B outings. This is highlighted by the return of one win, two draws, and two defeats. This run of form means that they have failed to proceed from Group B. Diego Simeone’s men have scored four goals in five matches, while they have conceded seven times in this run. This underscores their core challenge across their campaign. They have lacked a cutting edge in front of goal while their defense has not been rock solid. The Iranian international has been a talisman for Porto as he has guided them through Group B with his performances. The 30-year-old has scored four times in the Champions League this season. He also has five goals in 11 appearances for Porto in the Primeira Liga this term. The forward will be crucial for Porto as they look to qualify from Group B as leaders. The 31-year-old French international has grabbed 5 goals for Atletico in 12 appearances. This has been a lean start to the season given his standards. However, Griezmann is picking up his form and stepping up for Atletico. Griezmann will be pivotal for Atletico as they look to seal their status in the Europa League this season. Porto will look for a fast start to the match; they will seek to dominate the ball, dictate the tempo through, and make use of their quick passing in between the lines to create chances. Atletico will seek to be pragmatic in their approach; therefore, they will deploy a back-five defensive structure when out of possession. The wingbacks will provide width when on the ball. Porto have the confidence, momentum, and quality to win this match and take the three points. Make sure to bet on Porto vs Atletico with 22Bet!
All teams in Group D can still qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions; these being the stakes, Tottenham and Marseille will battle it out at the Stade Velodrome on Tuesday at 21:00 GMT. Neither team can afford to lose the clash, but a draw will only favor Tottenham. Can Tottenham Regain their Form and Seal Qualification from Group D? Antonio Conte will be buoyed by his side’s enthralling win at Bournemouth on Saturday and will hope that it will restore their confidence and fighting spirit ahead of the make-or-break clash with Marseille on Tuesday. Discipline will be crucial for Tottenham against Marseille; they will need to be pragmatic, brave in possession, and aggressive when out of possession. This way, they will control the game while making it hard for Marseille to settle down in their rhythm. The experienced heads of the team will need to step up and help the team handle the nerves at this stage in front of a raucous crowd at the Velodrome. Can Marseille Make Home Comforts Count and Get the Win they Need to Qualify from the Group? Marseille will be looking to leverage the home crowd and atmosphere to drive them to the victory they need to seal qualification. Igor Tudor will be aware of the danger posed by Tottenham. While preparing to nullify this danger, the gaffer will also be focused on ensuring that Marseille do not pay them too much respect. There is a need for Marseille to attack the game and put Tottenham under pressure from the first minute. Their defense will need to be on alert to handle the pace Tottenham possess, especially on the break or when possession turns over. Counter-pressing will be important in stopping these transitions at the source. Marseille opened their Group D campaign with two straight defeats. They responded with two wins on the trot. They lost in matchday 5 away to Eintracht Frankfurt, which put them on the back foot and needing to win their final match to qualify from the group. They have scored seven goals in five outings while conceding six times. Although their defensive structure has been good, their attack has not been as prolific as hoped to propel them to direct qualification. They are currently bottom of the table with 6 points, two behind their Tuesday opponents Tottenham. Tottenham are Group D leaders with 8 points. They have won twice, drawn twice, and lost once. They have scored six goals and conceded 5. Their inconsistent form means that they go into matchday 6 needing at least a draw to guarantee their place in the top two of the group. Tottenham’s form domestically has suffered in recent matches. They have won once in their last three matches, with the remaining two being defeats. They are currently three points behind league leaders Man City. P. Lopez; S. Kolasinac, L. Balerdi, C. Mbemba; J. Caluss, J. Veretout, M. Guendouzi, I. Kabore; D. Payet, C. Under; B. Dieng Payet will offer the spark and creativity Marseille need to break down Tottenham. Although Marseille will seek to be defensively astute, they will need an attacking presence to bolster their chances of creating chances and scoring goals. The French international will also be important in pressing and ensuring that the Tottenham midfield do not get a free pass. Payet will be instrumental for Marseille if they are to take anything from this match. The England captain will be instrumental for Tottenham if they are to bolster their chances of winning the match. Apart from his goal-scoring, cutting-edge, and leadership qualities, Kane offers a massive creative outlet for other Tottenham attacking players. His connection with other attackers like Son is telepathic at times, which comes in handy when breaking down dogged defenses as the one Marseille will pose on Tuesday. Marseille will be pragmatic in their approach. The focus will be to ensure that they do not give away cheap chances to Tottenham. Tottenham will start the match tentatively and the clash will be a cagey affair early on. They will seek to c...
Rangers will host Ajax in a dead rubber Group A match on Tuesday at the Ibrox Stadium, with kick-off slated for 21:00 GMT. Because of their head-to-head record against Ajax, having lost the first leg, Rangers are confirmed to finish bottom of the table, and Ajax are headed for the Europa League. But Rangers will look to finish the group with at least a point. Can Rangers Restore Some Pride in the Clash with Ajax? Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s charges are winless and pointless in Group A. They will be looking to get at least one point or three from matchday 6. They will look to ride the brilliant atmosphere at the Ibrox to get a good performance against Ajax on Tuesday to stand a better chance of getting something out of the match. Can Ajax Get their Second Win in Group A? Ajax will drop to the Europa League after Napoli and Liverpool made it through from Group A. They will be looking to bolster their confidence in Europe, especially their travels when they face Rangers on Tuesday in front of a raucous Ibrox crowd. Rangers have lost all five matches in Group A so far this season. They have collected zero points and sit at the bottom of the table. Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s charges have scored a solitary goal while conceding 19 goals; they have a negative 18-goal difference. Ajax have won once and lost four times in their opening five outings in Group A. They have three points from the available 15. Ajax have scored eight times while conceding 15 goals in the run of five matches in the group stage of the Champions League. The 29-year-old Croat has scored 11 goals in 12 appearances for Rangers this season. He will be instrumental for the Scottish side as they look to get their first point(s) in Group A in the last match. With Rangers’ fast attacks and vertical passing, Colak will be important in running behind the defense and creating chances. With eight goals in 11 appearances for Ajax, Brobbey will be the danger man as Ajax look to finish their Group A campaign with a win at the Ibrox. With his pace and dynamism, he will be charged with the responsibility of leading the line against Rangers on Tuesday. Rangers seek to get a free and expressive performance in front of the home crowd after a hapless campaign so far this season in the Champions League. Ajax will look to counter Rangers’ energy by controlling the tempo of the clash with their passing in midfield and building patiently from the back. Ajax will have too much for Rangers, and they will win and take the three points. Make sure to bet on Atletico Madrid v Bayer Leverkusen with 22Bet!
There will be a Halloween showdown in La Liga this weekend, as rock-bottom Elche look to pick up a first victory of the campaign against Getafe. However, the visitors could move clear of the drop zone with just a third win of the season. There will be an important fixture at the bottom of the La Liga standings on Monday evening, as Elche and Getafe both look for a vital three points to ease their relegation worries. It has been a dire start to the season for Elche, as they sit at the foot of the standings, having just picked up four points from eleven games. They are the only side in the Spanish top flight yet to register a victory this season, and they are already six points away from safety. However, they did avoid defeat in their previous fixture, as they played out a 2-2 draw against Espanyol. Gonzalo Verdu scored a dramatic equalising goal in that fixture with just under ten minutes remaining. However, things haven’t gone much better for Getafe over the early weeks of the season, as they could find themselves in the bottom three by the time this fixture kicks off. Going into the weekend, they sit in 17th place, but they are just a point clear of the drop zone with an inferior goal difference. They should be pretty confident coming into this fixture, as they have avoided defeat in each of their previous three fixtures. However, all matches have ended in draws, including a 1-1 tie with Celta Vigo last Monday. They were denied maximum points in that fixture, as Celta scored a dramatic 89th-minute equaliser. Elche come into this fixture having gone three without defeat against Getafe. During that run, they have picked up two wins, with both coming last season. They were 3-1 winners in this exact fixture last season. However, Getafe has still won two of the previous three away games that they have played against Elche. This will be another golden opportunity for Elche to get their first league win of the season. However, Getafe has shown great character in recent weeks to avoid defeat, and we could see them recording a third away win in four against their relegation-threatened rivals. Make sure to bet on Elche vs Getafe with 22Bet!
Two sides that will be competing for a European spot in the French top flight this season will clash on Sunday evening. Lyon come into this fixture having won just once in their previous five, and they will desperately need maximum points to close the gap on fifth-placed Marseille. It looks set to be another competitive season in France when it comes to the handing out of the European places. Ten points separates the sides sitting second and ninth in the current standings, and both Lille and Lyon will be looking to get involved in the contest for a European finish. The pressure will likely be more on the hosts this weekend, as Lyon has won just five of the 12 games that they have played to this point. That slow start to the season already means that the French side is currently sitting six points off Marseille in fifth, and ten points off the Champions League places. However, they did at least win for the first time in five games last weekend, as they claimed a 2-1 away victory against Montpellier. Lille’s position in the current standings is much stronger than Lyon’s, as the former champions sit in sixth and are just one point behind Marseille. Meanwhile, they could move within two points of the Champions League places with a victory on the road this weekend. Lille has been in strong form over recent weeks, as they have picked up three straight wins in Ligue 1. The most recent of their domestic wins was secured against Monaco in dramatic fashion, with Jonathan Bamba scoring the winner in a 4-3 home victory. Lille has a fine recent record in this fixture, as they have gone eleven without defeat against Lyon. During that run, they have recorded five away victories, including wins in each of the previous three. This exact fixture was won 1-0 by Lille last season, while a 0-0 draw was played out in Lille. It appears hard to look past the dominant record that Lille has in this fixture, as they have a great away record in recent seasons. Therefore, we could see the visitors picking up an important victory in their race to make the Champions League places this term. Make sure to bet on Lyon vs Lille with 22Bet!
There looks set to be an almighty tussle for the Serie A title this season, as the defending champions are reluctant to let their hold on the honour go without a fight. AC Milan will be looking for a fifth straight league win this weekend to keep the pressure on Napoli. It has already been a very exciting start to the Serie A season, and that looks set to continue given the performances that we have seen from AC Milan and Napoli over recent weeks. Milan claimed a historic success last season, and they will be keen to successfully defend their title this year. However, they will need to keep winning to put pressure on Napoli. Milan come into this fixture in second, as they sit three points behind the league leaders. The Italian giants has won eight from eleven games this season, which includes four victories on the bounce coming into this round of fixtures. Milan recorded a fourth straight win in the league last weekend, as they stormed to a 4-1 success against Monza. Brahim Diaz scored twice in that win, while other goals were added by Divock Origi and Rafael Leao. Torino are one of several teams in Serie A this term that already look clear from getting dragged into a relegation scrap, while they also lack the quality to get involved in battle for a European challenge. The Italian side has won four from eleven this term. However, they have scored just ten goals, which is the fewest of any side in the top eleven. Torino ended a four-game wait for a victory in their previous fixture, as they picked up a hard-fought success on the road against Udinese. Ola Aina scored the opening goal in that fixture, before the winner was scored by Pietro Pellegri with 20 minutes remaining. Torino has picked up just two wins from their previous 26 matches in all competitions against Milan. They have also gone five without a win against the Italian giants, with four of the previous fixtures having been won by Milan. However, this exact fixture last season ended in a 0-0 draw. Milan has kept clean sheets in each of their previous five matches against Torino, and we expect them to maintain that trend on Sunday. We expect the Italian giants to pick up the victory that they require to close the gap on Napoli. Make sure to bet on Torino vs AC Milan with 22Bet!
Atalanta will be back in action in Serie A this weekend, as they bid to get back to winning ways against Empoli. The hosts will also be looking to bounce back, as they were beaten in their previous fixture in the Italian top-flight last weekend. The race for a European spot in Serie A this term looks set to be very competitive, which means that teams will be looking to avoid going on a run without a victory. Atalanta will face that pressure this weekend, as they sit just two points above Roma in the standings. They suffered a defeat for the first time in Serie A this term in their previous fixture. However, their start to the campaign remains strong, as they had won seven of the ten games that they had played before defeat last weekend. But, the pressure will be on after their loss against Lazio last time out. Lazio went into a 2-0 lead early in the second half, and Atalanta frustrations were summed up in injury time as Luis Muriel was sent off. Empoli’s aim for the season likely remains unchanged at this stage of the campaign, as they will still be targeting survival in Serie A this term. The Italian side has been short on wins already this season, as they have picked up just two victories from the eleven games that they have played. However, no team has been held to more draws in Serie A than Empoli. The Italian side were beaten for the fourth time this term in their previous match, as they lost 4-0 on the road against Juventus. Empoli managed to record just four shots on target in that match, and they will need to be more defensively solid this weekend. Empoli has a fairly good record in this fixture, as they have lost just once in the previous four Serie A meetings against Atalanta. They were 1-0 winners against Atalanta in the previous meeting between the sides in May. However, this exact fixture last season was won 4-1 by Atalanta. Empoli has already come up short against the bigger teams in Serie A this term, and it looks difficult to see them bouncing back against an Atalanta side that will be aware how important a victory is this weekend. Make sure to bet on Empoli vs Atalanta with 22Bet!
FC Köln and Hoffenheim will both be battling for places in the European spots in the Bundesliga this term. That could mean that there is extra importance placed on this fixture this Sunday, as both teams looking to bounce back after suffering defeats in their previous fixtures. It has been an indifferent start to the season for both FC Köln and Hoffenheim this term, as both sit outside the European spots coming into this fixture. Hoffenheim has started the new season in slightly better form, as they have picked up five wins from the eleven matches that they have played, and they could move into the top four with a victory this weekend. However, their form has been incredibly inconsistent over their previous five fixtures, as they have lost twice, drawn twice and picked up just one victory. They were beaten for the fourth time this term in their previous Bundesliga fixture, as they lost 2-0 at home against Bayern Munich. FC Köln has also underperformed over the early months of the season, as they come into this fixture sitting in the bottom half of the standings. The German side look to be struggling with the pressure that comes with playing twice a week, due to their involvement in European competition. Over their previous five games, they have won twice, lost twice and drawn once. There will be a desperate need to get back on track this weekend, as they were easily beaten in their previous fixture. On that occasion, they were hammered 5-0 away from home against Mainz. However, the game changed following the sending off for Luca Kilian inside the opening half an hour. Hoffenheim’s record in this fixture is staggering, as they have claimed victories in each of the eight matches that they have played against FC Köln. The hosts this weekend are winless in their previous 13 matches against their German rivals. Furthermore, Köln has failed to score in the previous three league fixtures between the sides. It’s extremely challenging to see past the dominant record that Hoffenheim boasts in this fixture against FC Köln. Therefore, the most likely result is the away victory, as Köln suffer a second straight defeat in the Bundesliga. Make sure to bet on FC Köln vs Hoffenheim with 22Bet!
The early pace setters in the Bundesliga are back in action domestically on Sunday, as Union Berlin look to improve their lead at the top of the standings. However, they will come up against a Borussia Monchengladbach side looking for a first win in two. It has been a stunning start to the season in the Bundesliga, but few sides have caught the imagination as much as Union Berlin. The German side moved to the top of the standings for the first time in their history last month, and that’s the position that they still find themselves in coming into the 12th round of fixtures. Union will be looking to bounce back to winning ways, as they suffered just a second defeat of the season in their previous fixture. Defeat last weekend ended their two-game winning streak, as they lost 2-1 away from home against Bochum. It was a below par performance from the league leaders in that fixture, as they fell 2-0 behind with 20 minutes remaining. They did have the final say following Milos Pantovic’s strike, but it was too little too late. It had been a slow start to the season for Borussia Monchengladbach, but they have moved up the standings to sit ninth. However, they will still be looking to improve as the season progresses, as they look to finish in a European position this term. They could edge closer to that position this weekend, as a win would lift them up to fifth. However, Gladbach will need to bounce back as they suffered a third defeat of the season in their previous fixture. That defeat came in a home fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt, as they were beaten 3-1 in front of their home fans. In a game with very little to shout about, Marcus Thuram did find the net for Gladbach in the final 20 minutes. Union has a solid record in this fixture, as they have picked up three victories in six Bundesliga meetings against Gladbach. They claimed a famous double over their rivals last season, winning the fixtures home and away by a 2-1 scoreline. Union will be looking to get back on track after a disappointing result in their previous fixture. We expect them to claim a positive result this weekend, as they have dominated the previous meetings between the sides. Make sure to bet on Union Berlin vs Borussia Monchengladbach with 22Bet!
Leicester will be looking to continue with their revival and climb further away from the bottom three in the Premier League when they welcome reigning champions Manchester City to the King Power Stadium on Saturday at 12:30 GMT. Man City will be looking to provisionally leapfrog Arsenal to the top of the table with a win over the Foxes, with the Gunners not playing until Sunday afternoon. Can Leicester Extend their Unbeaten Run in the League to Four Matches? Brendan Rodgers’ charges have moved from the basement of the log and currently sit 17th on the table, a point behind 16th-placed Southampton. The Foxes will be looking to continue this revival when they face Manchester City on Saturday lunchtime. The focus of Rodgers’ men will be to give a performance filled with intensity, energy, hard running, and dynamism. Prioritizing the defensive structure will be important for Leicester as they come up against a Man City side that have plundered a league-high 36 goals in 11 matches this term. Collective defending and a compact midfield will be required to bolster Leicester’s chances of taking something from this clash. Can Man City Provisionally Leapfrog Arsenal to the Top of the Premier League? Pep Guardiola’s Man City will look to make it two consecutive triumphs in the league as they look to reel in league leaders Arsenal. Man City, who are two points behind the Gunners, can leapfrog the North London side to the top of the log with a win at the King Power Stadium on Saturday. Guardiola will focus on his side’s performance as he looks to bounce back from the 0-0 draw at Dortmund on Tuesday. His emphasis will be on the tempo of the match, the passing rhythm, and the energy in the player’s running and movement. Man City are expected to dominate the ball and dictate the tempo of the match. Guardiola will guard against their vulnerability to counter-attacks. Leicester’s start to the season has been wretched. The Foxes have won three times, drawn twice, and lost a whopping seven matches, in their opening 12 fixtures in the league. Rodgers’ men have scored 21 goals and conceded 24 goals on their way to collecting 11 points from the available 36. This run of form highlights their defensive woos; they have conceded 24 goals, which is more than the current bottom three. In their last five matches, Leicester have won four times, lost once, and drawn once. They have collected 10 points and dropped five. This highlights a positive turn in form ahead of the clash with Man City. The unbeaten start to the season by Man City came to an end when they visited Liverpool, with this mega clash ending in a 1-0 triumph for the home side. Man City bounced back to winning ways with an impressive 3-1 win at home to Brighton last week. Pep Guardiola will be looking to extend his side’s good run of form as they look to overhaul league leaders Arsenal ahead of the midseason break for the World Cup in November. In their last five outings, Guardiola’s charges have won four times and lost once; they have hauled 12 points and dropped three in the process. Maddison has been in brilliant form for Leicester; he has scored six goals and grabbed two assists in the 11 appearances for the Foxes. The playmaker’s form has been totemic of Leicester’s resurgence in recent matches has they look to climb further away from the drop zone. His tenacity, work rate, and hard-running characteristics are effectively combined with his play-making and goal-scoring abilities. Maddison will be important for Leicester if they are to trouble Man City. With his 17 goals in 11 appearances for Man City, Haaland is the talisman for Guardiola’s side. His goals and presence will be central to City’s ability to open up the Leicester defence up and create opportunities. Leicester will focus on compactness and solidity to deny Man City any space. They will be aggressive off the mall and brave on the ball. Man City will be dominant on the ball and will dictate the tempo of the match. Man City wi...
It is sixth versus seventh in La Liga on Sunday when sixth-placed Athletic Bilbao welcome seventh-placed Villarreal to the San Mames Barrie Stadium at 18:30 GMT, as the two sides seek to get the three points they need to climb the table into the Champions League places. Can Athletic Bilbao End their Four-Match Winless with Victory on Sunday? Ernesto Valverde’s charges have hit a tough run of form, and they are winless in four outings in La Liga. The San Mames side will be looking to regain their winning touch when they host Villarreal on Sunday. Valverde will focus on the intensity and compactness of his side when they host Villarreal. The emphasis will be on finding the right balance between attack and defence to ensure that the team can be robust. Bilbao have lost this balance in recent matches, which has led to massive dropped points. Valverde will be urging his charges to regain the intensity and tempo they need to bolster their results. Can Villarreal Regain the Consistency they need to Trouble the Top of the Table? After the exit of Unai Emery, Villarreal have appointed Quique Setién to take over at the helm and drive the team for the rest of the season. His first task will be to get the team ready for the clash away to Athletic Club on Sunday. After an encouraging start to the season, Villarreal’s form has tapered in recent matches. Quique Setién will seek to regain the cutting edge and consistency for Villarreal, starting with this weekend’s clash with Athletic Bilbao. The priority will be on the solidity of the side’s defensive structure, which was struggling in the last few games under Emery. Athletic Club have had an inconsistent start to the season; they have won five times, drawn three times, and lost thrice in their opening 11 rounds of La Liga outings. Valverde’s charges have scored 19 goals and conceded 12 goals. This underscores their challenge with solidity in defence as they have dropped points from winning positions. They have collected 18 points out of the available 33. In their last five outings in La Liga, Valverde’s men have won just once. They have lost twice and drawn twice in this run. They have collected 5 points and dropped 10 in the process. Villarreal’s start to the season has been inconsistent. They have won five times, drawn three matches, and lost three. They have scored 14 goals and conceded 7. Although their attack has not been prolific, conceding 7 goals highlights their defensive solidity. They have collected 18 points from the available 33. They currently sit 7th on the log, 13 points behind league leaders Real Madrid. In their last five outings, Villarreal have won twice, drawn once, and lost two times. They have collected 7 points and dropped 8 in the process. Nico Williams has 11 appearances for Athletic Club this term; he has grabbed three goals in this run. His importance in the Athletic attack is underscored by his goal-scoring as well as creativity, he has contributed to 3 assists. His work rate and pressing are important for Athletic’s approach to games. He helps them to pressure the opposition from the front foot and win the ball higher up the pitch. Williams will be important to the San Mames side on Sunday. With eight goals and one assist in 15 appearances for Villarreal, Baena is increasingly becoming the most important player for Villarreal in La Liga. Baena will be crucial in the clash against Athletic as his side seek to regain the consistency in performances and results they need to climb the table closer to the Champions League places. Athletic Bilbao will look to dominate the match by playing on the front foot, pressing, and dictating the tempo of the match through their passing in midfield. Villarreal will seek to remain compact and pragmatic in their approach. They will defend in numbers while using transitions during possession turnover to pose a threat to Athletic. Athletic will win the match and take the three points up for grabs. Make sure to bet on Athletic Bil...
It will be fourth versus fifth in the Bundesliga on Saturday when 4th-placed Eintracht Frankfurt welcome 5th-placed Borussia Dortmund to the Deutsche Bank Park at 17:30 GMT, as both teams seek to claim the three points they need to climb the table into the Champions League places. Can Eintracht make it Three Consecutive Wins in the Bundesliga? Oliver Glasner’s charges will be looking to extend their good run of form in the Bundesliga and retain their top-four status as the Bundesliga rolls into its 12th round on Saturday. Eintracht will focus on displaying a high-tempo and high-energy performance against Dortmund. They will seek to be aggressive off the ball and adventurous when in possession. Pressing and counter-pressing will be crucial tools to disrupt the Dortmund flow; this will be important in defending against the pace of Dortmund’s attackers while also posing an attacking threat. Can Dortmund Leapfrog Eintracht into 4th on the Table with a Win? Dortmund have been in indifferent form in recent matches. This has seen their title-challenging hopes take a massive hit. They have fallen from the top of the table to 5th and currently trail league leaders Union Berlin by four points. Edin Terzić and his men will be aware of the threat posed by Eintracht, especially among their attacking players. Their tactics will be designed to counter the strengths of the hosts while exploiting their weaknesses. Dortmund will stick with their high-pressing and high-energy style; they will seek to progress the ball quickly and press Frankfurt across the pitch. Fourth-placed Eintracht have won six times, drawn twice, and lost three times in their 11 rounds of Bundesliga fixtures. With 24 goals scored and 18 conceded, Glasner’s charges have been exciting and have thus far hauled 20 points from the available 33, which means they are just three points behind league leaders Union Berlin. Eintracht currently sit 4th on the log, and within the Champion League places, which highlights their positive start to the season. In their last five outings in the Bundesliga, they have won four times and lost just once. They have hauled 12 points and dropped three in the process. Borussia Dortmund have started the season in an indifferent and inconsistent form. Out of the opening 11 rounds of Bundesliga fixtures played so far this term, Edin Terzić’s charges have won six times, drawn once, and lost four times. Dortmund’s run of form has seen them score 18 goals and concede 14 times. Although their attack has been fairly lethal, their defence has lacked the solidity they need to bolster their assault on the Bundesliga title this season. So far, they have accumulated 19 points out of the available 33; they are a point behind their Saturday opponents Eintracht. Muani has three goals in 10 appearances for Eintracht in the Bundesliga this term. He has also scored one goal in five appearances in the Champions League this season. The 23-year-old French national has shown his value to the team through his goal-scoring, creativity, and work rate. His physical presence and pace are also important attributes for Eintracht in driving at defenders and opening them up to create and take chances. Muani will be important for Eintracht in their clash with Dortmund on Saturday. The 19-year-old England international has struck two goals in 11 appearances for Dortmund in the Bundesliga this term. He has also notched 4 goals in 5 matches in the Champions League. The midfielder’s all-action style fits Dortmund and makes him the beating heartbeat in the middle of the pack. He will be crucial as Dortmund seek to regain consistency this season. Eintracht will focus on their discipline, pragmatism, and compactness without the ball. They will look to pass quickly when in possession to create chances. Dortmund will employ a high-press style with their focus being on dominating the match and dictating the tempo of the clash. A draw is the likely result in this clash with the sides shari...
Atletico Madrid has found some form in the Spanish top-flight over recent weeks, and they will be looking to maintain that momentum this weekend when they take on Cadiz. It had been a slow start to the new season for Atletico Madrid, but they are hitting form at a crucial stage of the season. The Spanish giants now sit third in the overall standings, and have a three-point cushion in the race to finish in the top four at this very early stage. Atletico comes into this fixture having gone five without defeat, and they have picked up four wins during that period. Their latest win came on Thursday evening, as they were able to hold their nerve to pick up a big 2-1 victory on the road against Real Betis. The hero in that fixture was Antoine Griezmann, as the former Barcelona star scored a second half brace. It was a professional display on the road by Atletico, as they played on the counter-attack, and were lethal when their chances arrived. Cadiz is really struggling in the Spanish top flight this season, as they are already three points from safety in the current standings. This season, they have claimed just a single victory from eleven fixtures, and they have scored a league-low of five goals. Cadiz also has the second-worst goals against record in La Liga, having allowed 22 goals. Before last weekend, they had drawn their previous four games in the league. However, a sixth defeat of the season was inflicted in their previous fixture. That loss was a humbling afternoon on the road for Cadiz, as they were routinely beaten 5-1 by Rayo Vallecano. Cadiz’s only goal in the game was scored with just under two minutes remaining. Atletico has picked up victories in each of the previous four La Liga fixtures that they have played against Cadiz. They have scored four goals in three of the previous four, which includes the 4-1 victory that they recorded in this exact fixture last season. This shouldn’t be the most difficult fixture for Atletico, as they have been in fine form across their previous five fixtures. They have a dominant record in this fixture, and we could see them picking up a comfortable 3-0 win on the road. Make sure to bet on Cadiz vs Atletico Madrid with 22Bet!
It has been an extremely disappointing start to the season for Sevilla, as they sit just a point clear of the relegation places coming into this round of fixtures. However, they will be looking for better this weekend, as they square off against Rayo Vallecano. It was a summer of change for Sevilla, as they lost both Jules Kounde and Diego Carlos. They have looked like a team that have lost their two best defenders over the early months of the La Liga season, as they sit just a point above the relegation places coming into this 12th round of fixtures in the Spanish top flight. It looks as though it will take a herculean effort to get back into the mix for a European spot this term, as Sevilla has picked up just two wins so far this season. They were handed a fifth defeat of the campaign in their previous fixture, while they have picked up just one win in their last six. Their most recent domestic defeat was suffered against Real Madrid last weekend, as they lost 3-1. Erik Lamela had given his side a lifeline in that game, but Madrid scored twice in the final ten minutes. Rayo Vallecano come into this fixture in a much better position compared to their rivals, as the away side could move within striking distance of a place in the top six. Victory on Saturday would put Vallecano within two of sixth-placed Athletic Bilbao, and just four off the Champions League places. They have been in fine form throughout the season to this point, as they have picked up four victories from their eleven fixtures. Their most recent win was a huge success against Cadiz last time out. Vallecano ran out 5-1 winners in that home fixture, with Florian Lejeune scoring twice, and further goals being addd by Alvaro Garcia Rivera and Sergio Camello. Sevilla has lost just once in the previous 14 La Liga meetings between these sides, with that loss coming back in 2012. However, two of the previous five have ended in draws. But, Sevilla’s home record against Vallecano is incredibly consistent, as they have picked up wins in each of the previous seven. It’s incredibly hard to look past Sevilla taking the points after considering their record in this fixture. The home side likely grew in confidence after a midweek win in the Champions League, and we could see them picking up a much-needed win in the league this weekend. Make sure to bet on Sevilla vs Rayo Vallecano with 22Bet!
Leipzig will be looking to get closer towards the European spots in the Bundesliga this weekend as they clash with Bayer Leverkusen. The visitors will be looking for the points to move away from the relegation places. It has been a strange start to the Bundesliga season this term, as a number of teams are not in the positions that they would have been expecting. That includes both Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen who clash in the domestic competition on Saturday. Leipzig will likely be much happier with their start to the season, as they sit in eighth and are just four points off the Champions League places. However, they only have themselves to blame for not being closer at this stage, as they have been incredibly inconsistent over the early months of the season. They have recorded four victories, but have been held to four draws and have lost on three occasions. Leipzig weren’t able to record a second straight win in their previous fixture, as they played out a 3-3 draw against Augsburg. Bayer Leverkusen will be very worried about the predicament that they find themselves in, as they sit just a place and point above the bottom three places in the Bundesliga standings. They have picked up just two victories this season, and have been leaking a huge amount of goals. Leverkusen moved back down to 15th in the standings last weekend, as they played out a draw against Wolfsburg. That means that they are winless in their previous two coming into this fixture. Leipzig has a very strong record in this fixture, as they have lost just two of the previous 12 fixtures that they have played against Leverkusen. However, Leipzig has scored at least once in each of those 12 meetings. Leipzig are certainly improving under Marco Rose, as only Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt have picked up more points in the previous six games. Therefore, we could see that feel-good run being maintained this weekend, as Leipzig edge closer towards the top four with a victory. Make sure to bet on RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen with 22Bet!
Two of the top six in the Bundesliga standings clash on Saturday, as Bayern Munich look for a third straight victory, which they would be hoping will be enough to send them to the top of the standings. However, Mainz has also won their previous two, and will be looking for the points to move into the Champions League places. Bayern Munich remain second in the Bundesliga standings coming into this fixture on the 12th round. The Bavarian giants could move to the top of the standings this weekend if they can pick up maximum points against Mainz. At present, they are a point behind the shock early leaders, Union Berlin. Bayern has been in solid form over their previous four league games, as they have picked up three victories and a draw. They also come into this fixture having picked up back-to-back victories in their previous two. Their most recent win was a very professional display on the road against Hoffenheim, as they claimed a 2-0 win. Jamal Musiala opened the scoring after just 17 minutes, before the advantage was doubled in the 38th minute by Eric Maxim Choupo Moting. Mainz won’t be overwhelmed coming into this fixture, as they have been in excellent form themselves over recent weeks, as they have picked up back-to-back victories in the Bundesliga. That solid run of form has lifted them up to sixth in the standings, and they could move into the top four this weekend with a victory. Their latest win was a very dominant success against FC Köln, as they ran out 5-0 winners last Friday. There were five different scorers in that victory for Mainz, with Marcus Ingvartsen, Dominik Kohr, Anton Stach, Aaron Caricol and Karim Onisiwo all finding the net. Mainz come into this fixture with a very solid record in recent fixtures against Bayern, as they have won two of the previous three matches. However, that is as many wins as they had recorded in the previous 20 before the start of that run. Bayern’s recent form has been incredibly strong, but Mainz should be ready for this test, as they have also put in some solid performances recently. However, we could see Bayern running out winners in this fixture, with both teams registering at least one goal. Make sure to bet on Bayern Munich vs Mainz with 22Bet!
PSG look to be reaching top gear at present, and they will be looking to stretch their healthy advantage in Ligue 1 on Saturday when they host Troyes. The visitors have gone four without a fixture in the French top-flight, and there will be few more daunting places to end that negative sequence this weekend. This could be a very bad time to come up against PSG, as the front three look to be playing their very best football of the season. There were goals for Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in midweek, as the Parisians ran Maccabi Haifa rigid in the Champions League. However, the focus switches back to Ligue 1 this weekend, as PSG look to extend their five-point advantage at the top of the standings. PSG has been in fine form domestically throughout the season, as they have won ten of the 12 games that they have played. No side has scored more or conceded fewer than the Parisians this season, and they come into this fixture having recorded a 3-0 win on the road against Ajaccio last weekend. Mbappe scored twice in that win, while Messi also found the net. Troyes currently sit in the middle of the standings in France, but they have gone four without victory coming into this fixture. They have recorded three wins from 12 games this term, but they will be happy enough that they sit four points above the drop zone. Troyes come into this fixture after being held to a third draw in four fixtures in their last match. That latest draw came against Lorient, as Rony Lopes found the net for the home side. However, Lorient denied Troyes maximum points with an 81st minute equaliser. Troyes have conceded more goals against PSG than in any other side in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, the Parisians are unbeaten in their previous ten home fixtures against their rivals this weekend, having won on eight occasions. PSG have been in excellent form throughout the season, and they look incredibly well placed to pick up maximum points in this fixture. The form of the front three has been dazzling so far this season, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see Messi, Neymar and Mbappe on the scoresheet in a 4-0 win this weekend. Make sure to bet on PSG vs Troyes with 22Bet!
One of the most impressive club sides in Europe will be back in action in Serie A this weekend, as Napoli look to extend their advantage at the top of the Italian standings. They will come up against a Sassuolo side that has won three of their previous five. It’s not hard to see why a lot of people are getting excited about Napoli this season, as the Italian giants have impressed both domestically in Serie A and in the Champions League this term. Napoli come into this 12th round of fixtures in the Italian top-flight having won their previous five games in Serie A, and they also still boast an unbeaten record. The Italian giants have scored the most goals in Serie A so far this season, and also have one of the best defensive records, having allowed just nine. They maintained their excellent start to the season last weekend, as they battled to a 1-0 victory on the road against AS Roma. The only goal was scored in the final ten minutes, as Victor Osimhen broke the deadlock. Sassuolo has also enjoyed a fairly solid start to the new season, as they sit just outside the European places in ninth. However, a European push this term already looks unlikely, as they are sit points behind seventh-placed Inter Milan at this stage of the campaign. Sassuolo won for the third time in five fixtures in their previous fixture, as they claimed a 2-1 home win against Hellas Verona. The winning goal in that fixture was scored with 15 minutes remaining by Davide Frattesi. Meanwhile, the opening goal in the fixture was scored by Armand Lauriente, which pulled Sassuolo level after they had gone behind after two minutes. Napoli have found wins against Sassuolo pretty difficult to come by, as they will be looking for back-to-back wins against their rivals for just the third time in their history. However, Sassuolo wins have also been hard to come by, as they have picked up just two victories in the previous 18 league fixtures against Napoli. Napoli has started the new Serie A season in a very exciting manner, and they look excellent value to land another victory this weekend. We struggle to see past the front-runners in Serie A, and we could see them registering a 3-1 win. Make sure to bet on Napoli vs Sassuolo with 22Bet!
There was another humbling defeat for Juventus in midweek, as they exited the Champions League in the group stages. They will be looking to put that new setback behind them when they return to action in Serie A on Saturday against Lecce. It has already been a season to forget for Juventus, as the Italian giants were embarrassingly knocked out of their Champions League group in midweek following a 4-3 loss against Benfica. Their performances in Serie A have done little to ease the pressure on Massimiliano Allegri so far this term, as the Old Lady are lingering in eighth. Juventus has picked up just five wins from eleven games this term, and have been held on four occasions. However, their recent form has seen more defeats creep in, as they have lost twice in their previous five fixtures. But, they are threatening to piece together some form in the league, as they have won their previous two. The latest of those wins was a 4-0 home win against Empoli, with Adrien Rabiot scoring a brace. This could be a good fixture for Juventus, as Lecce are lingering towards the bottom of the Serie A standings at this stage. They have picked up just a single victory from eleven matches this season, and have scored just nine times. Lecce also come into this fixture having failed to win in their previous four. During that run, they have been beaten on two occasions, which includes a loss last weekend against Bologna. Lecce were extremely underwhelming in that fixture, as they conceded twice in the opening 35 minutes. They will need to start much quicker against the Old Lady this weekend. Lecce have failed to win their previous four top-flight fixtures against Juventus, with two ending in defeat and two ending in draws. However, they have picked up four victories in 32 Serie A matches against Juventus. The previous meeting between the sides was won 4-0 by Juventus in June 2020. This will be a big game for Juventus, as they will be widely expected to pick up maximum points against their struggling rivals. We expect them to have more than enough quality to record the victory, and we could see them claiming a 2-0 win on the road this weekend. Make sure to bet on Lecce vs Juventus with 22Bet!
There will be a big home fixture in La Liga after the international break for Espanyol on Saturday. The home side has won just once this season, and currently sits above the drop zone on goal difference. Valencia will be the visitors, as they look for a second straight victory. La Liga Preview It has been a rocky start to the season for Espanyol, as they could face another fight to stay in La Liga this term. They have picked up just four points from the six games that they have played so far this season, and they could drop into the relegation places with a defeat this weekend. Espanyol has been far too easy to beat in recent months, as they have lost four of their previous five fixtures. They also come into this match after suffering defeats in each of their previous two games. So far, they have allowed a total of 12 goals in the league, which is an average of two per game. However, they at least have quality in the final third, as they have scored seven goals in La Liga this term. Valencia will be the visitors this weekend, as they look to maintain their recent solid form over the past couple of weeks. The Spanish giants could move into the European places with victory this weekend, as they have won two of their previous three fixtures in the Spanish top-flight. Their latest success was a very eye-catching display against Celta Vigo before the international break. Samu Castillejo opened the scoring after 37 minutes, before goals in the final ten minutes of the match were added by Marcos Andre and Andre Almeida. Espanyol vs Valencia Head to Head Valencia is winless in their previous two league fixtures against Espanyol, with the latest meeting ending in a 1-1 draw in May. Espanyol won the previous meeting between the sides last term, as they claimed a famous 2-1 success at the Mestalla, which was their first win in La Liga at the ground in over 30 years. Espanyol vs Valencia Prediction It has been a hard start to the new season for Espanyol, and we can’t see things getting any easier for them this weekend. I would expect Valencia to pick up maximum points on the road, and the victory could be achieved with a comfortable scoreline of 2-0.
Two sides that have started the 2022-23 Bundesliga in fine form clash this weekend, with Freiburg and Mainz both looking to get back to winning ways. The hosts will be looking for the points to remain in the top four, while Mainz could break into the Champions League places this weekend with victory. Bundesliga Preview Both Freiburg and Mainz have enjoyed fine starts to the new Bundesliga season, as both sides are lingering around the European places coming into the eighth round of fixtures. The home side will be the most confident of the sides involved this weekend, as they sit third overall, and are just three points off the early league leaders. Freiburg has a solid record over the early weeks of the season, as they have won four of the seven fixtures that they have played. They have lost on just one occasion so far this team, and have scored a total of ten goals. However, their form has hit a bit of a wall over recent weeks, as they have played out draws in each of their previous two fixtures. Mainz will be happy with the start that they have made to the Bundesliga season, as they have picked up three victories and two draws from the seven matches that they have played. That record is enough to see them come into this fixture in eighth place in the overall standings. However, scoring has been a slight issue, as they are the lowest scorers in the top half. Mainz also come into this fixture having not won in two. However, they played well in their previous fixture, as they avoided defeat against Hertha Berlin. But, more will be needed this weekend. Freiburg vs Mainz Head to Head Each of the previous two matches between these two sides have ended in draws. The latest ended in a 1-1 draw back in February. The last side to collect maximum points in this fixture was Mainz, as they recorded victory in two of the previous four matches. Freiburg vs Mainz Prediction Mainz may have a solid recent record in this fixture, but it could be pretty hard to get away from Freiburg taking the points this weekend. The home side has been reliable throughout the season, and we could see them getting back to winning ways in front of their home fans this weekend.
Union Berlin has started the season in excellent form, and they sit as the league leaders in the Bundesliga for the first time in their history. They will face a big challenge to keep that position this weekend, as they travel to Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. Bundesliga Preview Union Berlin has been one of the stories in the Bundesliga over the past couple of seasons. They are playing in Europe for the second consecutive season this year, but there are certainly loftier challenges that they are planning to achieve this coming season given the way that they have started the 2022-23 campaign. Union is the current leader in the Bundesliga standings, as they have won five of the seven games that they have played. During that period, they are yet to lose this term, and have scored a league-high of 15 goals, and have conceded a league-low of four goals. They maintained that excellent start before the international break, as they recorded a 2-0 win against Wolfsburg. Theoson Siebatcheu and Sheraldo Becker scored the goals in the home victory. Eintracht Frankfurt also enjoyed an excellent season last term, as they were crowned Europa League champions. However, transferring their form in Europe to Bundesliga competition has proven difficult in recent seasons. They have at least started this term better than the last, as they have won three of the opening seven games that they have played. Victory this weekend will be enough to lift them into the top four in the German top-flight, and they come into the fixture in good form. They have won three of their previous four games, which includes a 3-1 away win against Stuttgart in their recent game before the international break. Eintracht Frankfurt vs Union Berlin Head to Head Union Berlin picked up a second Bundesliga victory against Eintracht Frankfurt in the most recent fixture between the sides. That was a 2-0 home success in April. However, Frankfurt had won the previous two matches between the sides before that success, including a 2-1 win in this exact fixture last season. Eintracht Frankfurt vs Union Berlin Prediction This looks like a captivating match in prospect this weekend, and cases can be made for both sides to take the victory. However, we could see Union’s bubble being pierced this weekend, as we could see these teams playing out a draw.
Borussia Dortmund comes into this round of fixtures in the Bundesliga in a very solid position. They could go to the top of the standings on Saturday, but they will need to pick up maximum points on the road against FC Köln. The hosts will be looking for a first win in two. Bundesliga Preview This should be a high-quality fixture in the Bundesliga on Saturday, as both Dortmund and FC Köln will be in the mix for European places this season. Dortmund may be hoping for slightly more this term after a strong start to the season, as they currently sit three clear of Bayern Munich, and are just two points off the top of the table. The German side has won three of their previous four league fixtures, and they bounced back from a second defeat of the season in strong fashion before the international break. That victory was recorded against Schalke, with Dortmund running out 1-0 winners at home. The only goal was scored with just over ten minutes remaining, as Youssoufa Moukoko broke the deadlock. Last season was a terrific effort by FC Köln, as they finished in a European position. They will be looking to achieve the same feat once again this season, and they have started the new campaign in relatively good form. They come into this fixture sitting ninth in the standings, and could move up to as high as fourth with victory on Saturday. However, Köln come into this fixture having failed to win in their previous two, while they have picked up just a single victory in their previous five fixtures. Before the international break, Köln were held to a 1-1 draw by Bochum. Köln levelled the scores with two minutes remaining on that occasion. FC Köln vs Borussia Dortmund Head to Head FC Köln is winless in three previous matches against Dortmund, with their previous victory coming back in November 2020. Since then, Dortmund has won once in the previous three matches. Two of the three have ended in draws, which includes a 1-1 tie in the previous meeting last season. FC Köln vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction Both sides will be optimistic of getting a good result this weekend. Dortmund still appears to be hitting their top form, while Köln has been draw specialists in recent weeks. Therefore, we could see a draw being played out between the sides this weekend.
St. Mary’s Stadium will play host to the clash between two sides struggling for form as 14th-placed Southampton take on 13th-placed Everton on Saturday at 15:00 GMT. Southampton will be looking to bounce back to winning ways after two successive losses in the Premier League, whereas Everton will be looking to continue their five-match unbeaten run. Match Preview Can Southampton Bounce Back to Winning Ways? Although their performances have been brilliant this season, Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men have not always got what they deserved from matches. The Austrian tactician will be looking to rectify this by winning their next match against a resurgent Everton. Hasenhüttl will focus on the performance levels of the entire team against Everton. The focus will be to ensure that all the 11 outfield players will work hard, run hard, and play with intensity. Although they keep the ball well, the focus will be to ensure Everton do not get many chances while fashioning goal-scoring chances for the team in the process. Can Everton make it Two Consecutive Wins in the Premier League? Frank Lampard will feel that his side finally turned the corner with the tight 1-0 win at home to West Ham last time out. The former Chelsea manager will look to ensure that his side are solid and compact away from home on Saturday. However, a compact approach cannot be mistaken for defensive tactics. Instead, Everton will look to be vertical in their passing every time they win possession and commit bodies forward. This approach will help nullify the Southampton attack while maintaining the attacking side for the Merseyside men and thus giving them a chance to win the clash. Form Guide Southampton Southampton have been in indifferent form over the last five Premier League outings; they have won twice and lost three times in this run. They have collected six points and dropped nine in the process. The wins for Saints came in matches against Leicester City (1-2) at the King Power Stadium and at home against Chelsea (2-1). The losses came in clashes against Manchester United (0-1), Wolves (1-0), and Aston Villa (1-0). Ralph Hasenhüttl will look to bolster the consistency of his side as they face Everton at home on Saturday. Everton After four consecutive draws in the league, Everton finally won in the clash at home to West Ham last time out, before the international break. The four draws came in matches against Nottingham Forest (1-1), Brentford (1-1), Leeds United (1-1), and Liverpool (0-0). The win came in the clash against West Ham before the international break at Goodison Park, which ended in a 1-0 win for the home side. Frank Lampard will be looking to build on this good run of form when they step out at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday. Possible Starting Lineups Southampton Bazunu; R. Perraud, M. Salisu, A. Bella-Kotchap, K. Walker-Peters; I. Diallo, J. Ward-Prowse; A. Armstrong, M. Elyounoussi, M. Djenepo, C. Adams Everton Begovic; N. Patterson, C. Coady, J. Tarkowski, V. Mykolenko; A. Onana, I. Gueye, A. Iwobi; D. Gray, N. Maupay, A. Gordon Players to Watch C. Adams The 26-year-old forward has scored two goals in six appearances for Southampton this term. Adams has also grabbed two goals in the one appearance in the EFL Cup. The forward will lead the line for the Saints on Saturday when they face Everton on Saturday at St. Mary’s. Adams offers pace, work rate, movement, and a cutting edge in front of goal. He will be crucial in the clash with Everton because of his pressing front the front, which will help put pressure on Everton in their buildup. A. Gordon The 21-year-old has made a good start to his breakout season. He has been pivotal for the Goodison Park side this season with two goals in seven appearances for the Merseyside side. Gordon provides brilliant direct runs, dribbling, and a goal-scoring touch in the opposition’s box. His play out wide is important in stretching defenses and creating chances. Southampton vs Everton Prediction Southampton will l...
Ligue 1 Champions and league leaders PSG will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak in the French League to nine matches when they host 8th-placed Nice at the Parc des Princes on Saturday at 20:00 GMT. Nice will be looking to regain some consistency in their performances when they face the Champions on Saturday, whereas PSG will be warming up for their mid-week Champions League clash away to Benfica. Match Preview Can PSG Continue on their Good Form in Ligue 1? The Champions have made a sterling start to the season, winning even out of the opening eight fixtures on the calendar and dropping just two points so far. Christophe Galtier will be looking to continue this good vein of form when his men clash with Nice on Saturday in front of home fans. Galtier’s focus will be on ensuring that his superstars maintain professionalism, energy, and intensity, especially after the international break where players were spread out across the world playing for their national teams. A high-energy and high-intensity performance will be crucial for Galtier’s side to take all three points and extend their unbeaten run. Can Nice Cause an Upset against the Champions? Nice have been in poor form, winning just twice out of the opening eight outings in Ligue 1. They currently sit 13th on the table with eight points collected so far. Lucien Favre will be hoping to get some consistency back to his side after the international break as the league matches come thick and fast before the World Cup kicks off in Qatar. Against PSG, Favre will be hopping for a disciplined, sturdy, but high-intensity and high-tempo performance designed to disrupt PSG’s rhythm and pose an attacking threat on their defense. Form Guide PSG PSG have won four and drawn once in their last five Ligue 1 outings; they have collected 13 points and dropped just two in the process. The four wins have come away to Toulouse (0-3), away to Nantes (0-3), at home to Brest (1-0), and away to Lyon (0-1). Galtier’s side have also kept four clean sheets in this winning run. The draw in this run came in the match against Monaco at home, which ended in a 1-1 stalemate at the Parc des Princes. Galtier will be hoping to continue with their sturdy defense and devastating attack when they face Nice on Saturday. Nice Lucien Favre’s men have won just twice in their last five outings in Ligue 1; they have lost three times in this run. This means that they have taken six and dropped nine out of the available 15 points in the league. The two wins came away to LOSC (1-2) and away to Ajaccio. The three losses in this run came in matches against Marseille at home (0-3), Monaco at home (0-1), and Angers at home (0-1). Favre will be focused on his defensive shape ahead of the journey to the capital to face PSG; this is especially crucial because Nice have kept a single clean sheet in their last five outings. Possible Starting Lineups PSG Donnarumma; D. Pereira, Marquinhos, S. Ramos; N. Mendes, M. Verratti, F. Ruiz, A. Hakimi; Neymar, L. Messi; K. Mbappe Nice Bulka; J. Lotomba, J. Todibo, Dante, M. Bard; N. Pepe, M. Lemina, K. Thuram, S. Diop; G. Labonde, A. Delort Players to Watch Neymar The 30-year-old Brazilian international has had a storming start to his goal-scoring season this season; he has notched eight goals in eight appearances in Ligue 1, one goal in two matches in the Champions League, and two goals in the Trophee des Champions. Neymar is an integral part of Galtier’s side, and he will be central to their bid to beat Nice and extend their unbeaten run. A. Delort The 30-year-old Algerian striker has been essential to Nice’s good form this season. He has scored three times in eight matches for Nice this season. Delort will be crucial for Nice as they try to overcome the in-form team of the league on Saturday. PSG vs Nice Prediction PSG will dominate the ball and territory in this match. They will press from the front and close off all passing channels; this will make it difficult for Nice to pr...
Serie A unbeaten league leaders Napoli will host 9th-placed Torino at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday at 14:00 GMT. Napoli will be looking to extend their winning run to four points in Serie A, whereas Napoli will be looking to bounce back to winning ways after losing two consecutive matches in the league. Match Preview Can Napoli Extend their Winning Run in Serie A to Four Consecutive Matches? Luciano Spalletti is satisfied with his side’s pacesetting form in Serie A this season. Their current three-match winning run has elevated them to the top of the table ahead of Atalanta on goal difference. Napoli’s clash on Saturday against Torino will be based on the ability of the home side to score goals. They have breached the opposition’s defense in all but one of their seven Serie A matches this term. Spalletti will be focused on the high-intensity and high-energy performance of his side to overcome the defensive compactness of Torino. He will emphasize quick play with purposeful passing in the final third to create clear-cut chances. Can Torino Bounce Back to Winning Ways After Losing Twice Consecutively in Serie A? Having kept just two clean sheets this term, Torino will be looking to re-jig their defensive shape to contain the rampant attacking style adopted by Napoli. Ivan Jurić will be more interested in finding the right attacking and defending balance as opposed to just sending his side out to defend. Given the attacking potency of Napoli, defending in 90 minutes will be quite a herculean task away from home. Therefore, Torino will be brave on the ball and will look to play through the Napoli press. This will give them a chance to create chances if they break the press. Transition attacks will also be crucial for Torino as they look to pose an attacking threat to the Napoli defense. Form Guide Napoli Napoli are unbeaten in the opening seven outings in Serie A this term. In their last five fixtures, Spalletti’s men have won three times and drawn twice. They have collected 11 points and dropped four in the process. The three wins came in matches against Lazio away from home (1-2), at home to Spezia (1-0), and away to the home of the Champions AC Milan (2-1). The two draws came in the 0-0 away to Fiorentina and the 1-1 at home to Lecce. Spalletti will be looking to continue the good vein of form of his side when they host Torino on Saturday. Torino Torino have won just twice in their last five matches in Serie A. Across the opening seven matches in the season, they have won three times, drawn once, and lost three times. In their last five outings, Ivan Jurić’s side won in clashes away to Cremonese (1-2) and at home to Lecce (1-0). The defeats came away to in-form Atalanta (3-1), away to Inter (1-0), and at home to Sassuolo (0-1). Ivan Jurić will be looking to bolster his side’s defensive shape to make them harder to score against and minimize the chances they are conceding, starting with the Saturday clash away to Napoli. Possible Starting Lineups Napoli Meret; M. Rui, M. Kim, A. Rahmani, G. Di Lorenzo; P. Zielinski, S. Lobotka, A. Anguissa; K. Kvaratskhelia, G. Raspadori, M. Politano Torino Milinkovic-Savic; R. Rodriguez, A. Buongiorno, K. Djidji; M. Vojvoda, K. Linetty, S. Lukic, V. Lazaro; N. Vlasic, D. Seck; A. Sanabria Players to Watch P. Zielinski The 28-year-old Polish international has been a major part of the Napoli machine that has started the Serie A season superbly. He has a goal in seven appearances for Napoli, underscoring his importance with sterling performances in Serie A and the Champions league. Zielinski will be crucial for Napoli in the middle of the pack in the clash with Torino. A. Sanabria The 26-year-old Paraguayan is a mainstay for Torino up front this season. In seven appearances, he has scored once this season as Torino have struggled to gain consistent performances. However, Sanabria is an important cog in the way Torino play, especially in the attacking third. He will be important...
Fourth-placed Brighton travel to Anfield on Saturday at 15:00 GMT to face eighth-placed Liverpool in what is expected to be a tough examination of the Seagulls as the Reds look to regain their winning form and Brighton seek to continue their current good form at the start of this season. Match Preview Do Liverpool Have What It Takes to be Back among the Wins? The season has not started according to plan for Liverpool. With 9 points from the available 18, Jurgen Klopp’s men have to improve fast to ensure that they do not fall further behind the league’s pacesetters. Talk of a rejig of the Liverpool side followed the defeat away to Napoli. However, Klopp will put faith in his side to perform at a high level in their clash against in-form Brighton, albeit one that lost their manager to Chelsea before the international break. The focus will be on intensity and energy in the performance with consistency also highlighted as the Reds look to bounce back to winning ways. Can Brighton make it Consecutive Triumphs? Roberto De Zerbi will get his introduction to the English Premier League at Anfield. The Italian will be champing at the bit to get started on Saturday as he looks to continue the good work at Brighton started by the now-Chelsea gaffer. Zerbi’s Brighton will seek to maintain high energy levels in their performance with pressing applied across the pitch. However, against Liverpool, Brighton will also look to be compact and solid in their approach; this will be designed to minimize the number of times Liverpool penetrate behind their defensive line and the spaces in between the lines they can exploit. Form Guide Liverpool Klopp’s men have emerged victorious twice and drawn twice in their previous five fixtures. The Reds have also lost once in this run. This means Klopp’s men have collected eight points and dropped four. The two wins in this run came against Bournemouth at home in a 9-0 rout and a close 2-1 home win over Newcastle. The two draws came in the Reds’ clashes with Crystal Palace (1-1) and the Merseyside derby against Everton (0-0). The defeat came at Old Trafford (2-1). Brighton Brighton have been in fine form over the last five outings in the Premier League. In this run, the Seagulls have won three matches, drawn once, and lost just once. They have collected 10 points and dropped five. Brighton are currently sitting fourth on the table, five points behind league leaders Arsenal albeit having played a match less than the table toppers. The wins came away to West Ham (0-2), Leeds at home (1-0), and Leicester City (5-2). The draw came in the clash with Newcastle at home, which ended in a 0-0 stalemate. The defeat came against the Craven Cottage side Fulham at (2-1). Possible Starting Lineups Liverpool Alisson; T. Alexander-Arnold, J. Matip, V, van Dijk, Robertson; H. Elliot, Fabinho, T. Alcantara; M. Salah, D. Jota, L. Diaz Brighton Sanchez; J. Veltman, L. Dunk, A. Webster; S. March, P. Grob, A. Mac Allister, M. Caicedo, L. Trossard; E. Mwepu, D. Welbeck Players to Watch M. Salah The 30-year-old Egyptian is still getting to terms with this season. In six appearances, Salah has scored twice. He has also scored a further goal in the Champions League in two further appearances for Liverpool. Salah’s pace, finishing, and experience will serve Liverpool well on Saturday as they seek to win and take all three points. M. Caicedo The Ecuadorian youngster has been integral to Brighton’s good form this season. The 20-year-old has made six appearances for the Seagulls this season and scored one goal. The high-energy midfielder is crucial for Brighton in pressing across the midfield, closing down the opposition, and winning back the ball. His pace and passing range also means that Caicedo can be crucial in driving forward and starting attacks. Liverpool vs Brighton Prediction Liverpool will stick with their high-energy and pressing and high-intensity tactics to drive Brighton back to their half, and thus dominate possession and...
The reigning Serie A champions will be looking to get the season and title defense back on track when they travel to the Stadio Carlo Castellani to face Empoli on Saturday at 19:45 GMT. Match Preview Can Empoli Get their Second Win of the Season? Empoli have been draw specialists this season; they have had four of them out of the opening seven outings in Serie A including a run of four consecutive stalemates. Paolo Zanetti’s side have had only one 0-0 draw, which indicates that they have no problem scoring goals; their challenge has been keeping clean sheets, with just two in seven matches. The focus on Saturday will be establishing the right defense-attack balance to ensure that the team is compact and difficult to play against. This will frustrate Milan and make life hard for the 90 minutes. Can AC Milan Bounce Back After Losing at Home to Napoli Last Time Out? Stefano Pioli’s champions have not had the best of starts to the defense of their Scudetto. Having collected 14 points and dropped 7, Milan are behind the league leaders Napoli and Atalanta by three points. Milan will focus on bolstering their attacking game against Empoli as they look to open up the opponents’ defense and create chances. This game is likely to be defense versus attack, with Empoli compact and Milan dominating. However, Pioli will need to be wary of the potential risk they face on the counter when they lose possession. Rapid attacks can undo their defensive structure and expose them to Empoli attackers. Form Guide Empoli In their opening seven Serie A fixtures, Empoli have won once, drawn four times, and lost twice. The win came in their last match away to Bologna, in an impressive 0-1 triumph. The stalemates this season came in clashes at home to Fiorentina (0-0), away to Lecce (1-1), at home to Verona (1-1), and away to Salernitana (2-2). The losses came in the matches away to Spezia (1-0) and at home to Roma (1-2), with the hosts having a player sent off in the 87th minute. Paolo Zanetti will focus on turning the form of his side around to climb the Serie A table. AC Milan After going six matches unbeaten at the beginning of the season, Milan finally lost at home to Napoli (2-1) last weekend. This result saw Napoli open up a 3-point lead at the top of Serie A. Milan have won four times, drawn twice, and lost once. The four wins came at home to Udinese (4-2), Bologna (2-0), Inter (3-2), and away to Sampdoria. The draws came in matches away to Atalanta (1-1) and Sassuolo (0-0). Stefano Pioli will be focused on his side bouncing back from that defeat to Napoli and getting onto winning ways starting with their Saturday away clash with Empoli. Possible Starting Lineups Empoli Vicano; P. Stojanovic, A. Ismajli, S. Luperto, F. Parisi; N. Haas, R. Marin, F. Bandinelli’ M. Pjaca; M. Satriano, S. Lammers AC Milan Maignan; D. Calabria, S. Kjaer, F. Tomori, T. Hernandez; I. Bennacer, S. Tonali; A. Saelemaekers, C. De Ketelaere, R. Krunic; O. Giroud Players to Watch M. Satriano The 21-year-old Uruguayan forward has made seven appearances for Empoli this season; he has grabbed one goal in these matches. His performances have highlighted his significance to Empoli and the style of play they implement. His pace is integral to his game; however, his movement and ability to attack the box from wide areas allows Empoli to play with two strikers while posing an aerial threat. Satriano will be pivotal for Empoli’s chances against Milan on Saturday. O. Giroud The 35-year-old French international has four Serie A goals in seven appearances for Milan this term. He has a further strike in two Champions League appearances as well. Giroud is crucial in linking up the attack, offering an aerial threat, and using clever movement to create space and chances for others in the box. Giroud will be crucial for Milan as they seek to apply pressure on the sides at the top of the table. Empoli vs AC Milan Prediction Empoli will compact in their approach; they will frustrate Milan f...
Selhurst Park Stadium will play host to the London derby between the hosts Crystal Palace and their West London neighbors, Chelsea, on Saturday at 15:00 GMT as the English Premier League returns from the international break. Chelsea will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in the league while Palace will be looking to end a three-match winless run. Match Preview Can Palace Get Back to Winning Ways? Patrick Vieira has seen his side go three matches without tasting victory – they have lost once and drawn twice in this run. Against Chelsea, his side will need no motivation because it is a London derby. Palace will focus on their defensive solidity to keep Chelsea out. They will mainly look to defend compactly to ensure that they do not provide gaps in between the lines for Chelsea attacking players to exploit. Vieira will also focus on giving his side the motivation and courage they need to play out of pressure and pose an attacking threat to the Chelsea rearguard. Can Potter Make a Winning Start to his Chelsea Reign? With Chelsea suffering from inconsistency in the league this season, Graham Potter will be looking to steady the ship and get the Blues playing consistently at a high level to challenge at the top. The clash with Palace presents Potter’s first Premier League match since making the move from Brighton. He will be eager for a high-energy and effective performance from his side to take the three points. The focus against Palace will be on implementing an effective press high up the pitch, retention of the ball, and passing fast enough to overcome the defensive solidity of Palace. This will have to be combined with a good defensive structure and alertness to deal with the counter-attacking threat. Form Guide Crystal Palace Patrick Vieira’s men have won once in the last five outings in the English Premier League. This triumph came in the home clash against Aston Villa, which ended in an impressive 3-1 win. In this run, Palace have drawn three times and lost once. The three draws came in football matches against Liverpool at Anfield (1-1), Brentford at home (1-1), and Newcastle at St. James’ Park (0-0). The one loss in the run of five fixtures came way at the Etihad Stadium where Vieira’s men lost an enthralling 4-2 match. The focus for Palace will be performing well against a big six side on Saturday and taking something from the game. Chelsea The Blues have been inconsistent over the last five outings in the Premier League. They have won two times, lost twice, and drawn once in this run. These results mean that Chelsea are sitting seventh on the table, some eight points off the pace set by Arsenal at the top of the log. The two victories in this run came in Chelsea’s home clashes with Leicester (2-1) and West Ham (2-1). The draw came in the 2-2 result against Tottenham. The two defeats came in fixtures away from home against Leeds United (3-0) and Southampton (2-1). Potter will be looking to change this form and have the Blues playing and winning consistently to challenge at the top. Possible Starting Lineups Crystal Palace Guaita; T. Mitchell, M. Guehi, J. Andersen, J. Ward; J. Schlupp, C. Doucoure, E. Eze; W. Zaha, J. Mateta, J. Ayew Chelsea Arrizabalaga; C. Azpilicueta, T. Silva, M. Cucurella, R. Reece; M. Mount, Jorginho, M. Covacic; R. Sterling, P. Aubameyang, K. Havertz Players to Watch W. Zaha The 29-year-old Ivory Coast international has started this season well with 4 goals in five Premier League outings for Patrick Vieira’s side. Zaha is increasingly the talisman of the Palace side this season. His pace and goal-scoring will be important for Palace as they are likely to be on the back foot against Chelsea. R. Sterling The 27-year-old English International has registered three goals in six appearances for Chelsea this term. Sterling has been effective up front, giving the blues the cutting edge they need. His pace, dribbling, and movement in the final third will be crucial for Chelsea to break down Palace...
The English Premier League makes a welcome return following a brief break to make way for the conclusion of the UEFA Nations League group campaign. The most-watched club competition on planet football is back with a bang, with schedulers keeping us busy throughout the weekend, taking us from early Saturday afternoon to late Monday evening. There’s plenty to interest followers and help with your pre-match preparations. Our team of experts offer their Premier League predictions. This page focuses on the North London Derby involving Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium. This match is scheduled for a 12:30 GMT start and will be on television and the best live streaming apps on your smartphone. But which side will take the bragging rights? This is the first time these London rivals had met since May of this year when Spurs enjoyed a convincing 3-0 home win over the Gunners. The goals that day were scored by Son and a Kane double, with the first coming from the penalty spot. That strong win for Spurs was their first North London derby victory since December 2020. Will they do the double, or can Arsenal get their revenge? Read on to find out. Gunners lead the way It has been a near-perfect start to the season for Arsenal, with the Londoners entering the weekend sitting on top of the Premier League. Does Mikel Arteta’s side have what it takes to guard their spot between now and the finish next spring? A strong opening month is one thing – and it’s certainly nothing new to the Arsenal support – but finding the consistency needed to set the pace throughout the campaign is something quite different. Currently, fans can ask for no more from their favourites while the rest of us wait to see if it’s yet another false dawn. The home team enters this fixture with their stats for the season showing six wins against one defeat with 17 goals scored and seven conceded. The 18-point tally has them one better than champions Manchester City chasing a third league win on the bounce. Tottenham is back in third, also on 17 points, with Brighton making up the top four with five fewer points than the leaders. Three wins are the difference between Arsenal and Chelsea in seventh, but there’s still a long way to go before any side can celebrate or start to panic. So far, the only loss on the Gunners’ record came at Old Trafford against a resurgent Manchester United, who had started slow and spent the first few weeks of the season in the relegation zone. Things appear to be coming together for the Red Devils, and they can look back at wins over Liverpool and Arsenal for sources of encouragement. Arsenal did respond to that loss at Man Utd with a 3-0 away win over a spirited Brentford side before the break, taking the bragging rights in another London derby, but it’s this one that matters the most to fans. Spurs could go top All the noise pre-match has focused on how well Arsenal have performed so far this season and their chances of winning the title, but Tottenham head into this match as genuine Premier League championship contenders. They could go top of the league if they win this match and results elsewhere go their way, with Manchester City dropping points against Manchester United. By the start of next week, we could have a new leader and favourite to win the trophy, such is the importance of this match. The visitors make the short journey across the capital placed third in the pile, with their stats for the season showing five wins and two draws from seven outings, making them one of only two unbeaten teams left in the division, the other being Man City. Tottenham have scored 18 goals – one more than their hosts – and have conceded the same number on seven. The champions currently have a six-goal lead over Spurs, meaning it would take a strong win for Spurs and an eye-catching loss for City to send Harry Kane and co into pole position. The away team start looking to complete a hat-trick of wins following victory over Fulham and Lei...
October is here, and we are now into the thick of a hectic autumn period that will see the games come thick and fast across Europe. That includes the Italian Serie A, where seven games have already been played. The upcoming tight schedule can be blamed on the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which was moved from June to November. There’s now a race against time for teams to get through their games as quickly as possible before Serie A is placed into hibernation until early next year. Until then, we have plenty to keep us entertained, including Inter Milan’s home game against Roma on Saturday from 17:00 GMT. This match is one of just three games played from the top tier of Italian football on Saturday and looks like the pick of the bunch. Inter Milan is expected to challenge for the title this term, and they have every chance to do just that. Roma is another side with confidence in the camp, and they will believe, following last season’s efforts in Italy and Europe, there’s a great chance they too can challenge for the title. A win away to Milan would certainly improve their chances of doing just that, sending out a statement of intent to their rivals. Saturday’s meeting in Milan will be the first time Inter and Roma have faced off since April of this year, when Inter claimed a convincing 3-1 win at this venue in the league. The pair met three times in the previous campaign, with Inter Milan enjoying a clean sweep of victories, including a 2-0 cheer in the Coppa Italia. An average of three goals were scored in those games, and armchair fans following this match live on television hope for more of the same with plenty of goals and even more talking points as the action returns. Milan lacks consistency Inter Milan may be one of the favourites to win the Serie A with respected pundits and Italian football experts, but they haven’t started the season too well, and with seven games on the board, they are already playing catch up. The locals enjoyed consistency last season, going on long unbeaten runs that kept them in a position to challenge throughout, but that hasn’t been the case in the opening weeks of this term. They have struggled to put points on the board and have lost matches they were expected to win at a canter. Studying the Serie A table ahead of its return, we note Inter Milan are down in seventh place with their stats for the season showing four wins against three defeats, with their last five outings reading lose-win-lose-win-lose. It’s obvious that Inter Milan is a great side, and, at times, they have looked stronger than they were last term, but the lack of consistency is a worry, and that gives the coaching staff plenty to think about. Inter have looked more than capable of winning this championship in the games they have taken three points from, but in the losses, they have been miles off the pace. A winning run is needed to breathe life back into their challenge, and this is a great place to start. Three points on Saturday could thrust the home team back into contention, but a second loss on the bounce would suck them towards mid-table, wrecking any remains of confidence that was left in the camp. The fans will turn out in force to cheer on their favourites, but the longer this game remains competitive, the more agitated the supporters will become, which will filter down to the pitch. Roma has lost two of three Roma make this trip knowing about the challenges faced by their opponents, but they won’t head into this game thinking Inter Milan is a soft touch. Instead, they will be wary of a strong team that is a wounded animal at present but is more than capable of lashing out and restoring their pride. The visitors know they must be at their best if they are to claim anything from this game, and they also know an away win would seriously improve their chances of challenging for major honours this season. A top-four finish would rate as a big achievement for the club. Roma starts the weekend down in sixth place with stat...
Welcome to October, and a fascinating weekend of fixtures from the Spanish La Liga heralds the new month. This season’s campaign promises to be one of the most competitive we’ve seen for many years, with a strong case for three or four sides winning the championship trophy. The favourites include current La Liga champions Real Madrid and a Barcelona team that appears to be back on the right track following a tough spell on and off the field of play. But what about 021 champions Atletico Madrid? Are they considered challengers? We’ll find out after their trip to Seville. Madrid is the away team on matchday seven but make this trip knowing a strong win is needed to keep them up to speed with the early leaders. They may rate as a recent champion, but Atletico has work to do if they are to catapult themselves into contention, opening the week outside the top four following a slow start. Sevilla fans hope to see their team use the home advantage to earn three points and go three games unbeaten. Of course, these teams are no strangers to meeting in competitive action, and they were last seen producing a two-goal draw in Madrid earlier this year. The rivals played twice last term, with Sevilla winning 2-1 at home before a 1-1 draw on the road. That means we must go back to January 2021 for Atletico’s last win over Sevilla, and that’s a run of three games without defeat for the locals. Will that run continue, or will we see Madrid back firing? Read on for our thoughts and predictions. Painfully slow start for Sevilla Sevilla is a team that hasn’t won the La Liga title since 1946, but they did end in the top four last time, meaning they play Champions League football this season. Will they challenge the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid for the prize? That remains to be seen, but they can do themselves a huge favour by grabbing three crucial points in the opening match of the month, getting their season back on track after a tough opening spell. All will be revealed. The locals go into this match down in 15th place in La Liga with just five teams worse off after six games. Their lowly position is owed to winning just one of their first six games, drawing two and losing the other three. They scored seven goals in those six games, but the defence has leaked 11 already, which is a worry for anyone connected to this club. It’s far too early to press the panic button, but defeat here would make it about the right time to start thinking about a new approach from the coaches. We could even see a few regulars lose their starting slot. Sevilla was winless in their first four games this term but eventually got off the mark with a hard-fought but impressive win over Espanyol in a match that produced five goals. They banked all three points thanks to goals from Lamela and a Cormona double; all three scored in the opening half. They require a repeat performance with a stronger defence if they are to have any chance of winning this game. Since beating Espanyol, there has been a goalless draw in the Champions League away to FC Copenhagen and a 1-1 away to Villarreal. This will be Sevilla’s first home match in almost a month. Madrid lost last time Atletico Madrid arrives in Seville for this game down in seventh after a slow start to their challenge. They are a side, like their hosts, that started the campaign with the aim of finishing in the top four and securing Champions League football for next term, and after six games played, that remains a possibility. But they must do better, and everyone from the manager to the players and fans knows this. They haven’t been at their best, but if Atletico Madrid can grab a win here, they will find themselves right back in the running. Their form so far shows three wins against one draw and two defeats with ten goals scored, and six conceded. The 10 points collected means they are three behind Athletic Bilbao and a place in the top four of La Liga, while leaders Real Madrid, who hit the fron...
It has been a sensational start to the new La Liga season for Barcelona, and they will be aiming to maintain their unbeaten run this weekend when they travel to Mallorca. The hosts will be outsiders to win the fixture, but they will feel confident after losing just once in their previous four. La Liga Preview Many doubted whether Barcelona could get back to challenging for the La Liga title this season, but those doubts have been effectively answered over the early weeks of the season. The Catalonian giants have won their previous five fixtures in the Spanish top-flight, and could move to the top of the standings this weekend. Despite having an embarrassment of riches at the top-end of the field, it has been their defensive performances that have caught the eye this season. Barcelona has conceded just once in the six games that they have played, ensuring that they have the best defensive record in the league coming into this fixture. Their fifth straight win was recorded before the international break, as they recorded a 3-0 win over Elche. Robert Lewandowski scored a brace in that win, while Memphis Depay also registered a goal. Mallorca find themselves in the middle of the standings coming into this round of fixtures, as they have won twice, drawn twice, and lost twice in the opening six games that they have played this term. Scoring goals already appears to be an issue for the team at this early stage, as they are the lowest scorers in the top 15. However, they were good enough in their latest fixture to pick up maximum points against Almeria. The only goal in that game was scored after 25 minutes, as Pablo Maffeo scored the eventual match-winning goal. Mallorca vs Barcelona Head to Head Barcelona’s record in this fixture is extremely dominant, as they have won the previous nine matches that they have played against Mallorca. They have scored at least two goals in all but one of the victories that they have recorded. Mallorca’s last win against Barcelona came way back in May 2009. Mallorca vs Barcelona Prediction Barcelona’s healthy record in this fixture makes them very difficult to avoid. Furthermore, the start to the season that they have made has been extremely eye-catching, while Mallorca is struggling to score goals. Therefore, we expect the Catalonian giants to claim the victory by a comfortable margin.
Cadiz finally ended their wait for a first victory of the new La Liga season last time out, but they remain in the relegation places in the Spanish top-flight. They will be looking for a second straight win this Saturday, as they come up against a Villarreal side that are winless in two. La Liga Preview Villarreal will be looking for vast improvement in this first game after the international break this weekend, as they failed to win their previous two before the break in play. The Spanish giants are still within touching distance of the top four places in La Liga, and victory on Saturday could see them end the round as high as fourth. Their defensive record throughout the season has been extremely strong, as they have allowed just two goals in the six games that they have played. Only Barcelona has a better defensive record coming into the fixtures this weekend. However, recent setbacks would be a slight concern for Villarreal, as they have failed to win their previous two. Their first defeat of the season was inflicted by Real Betis, while they could only draw against Sevilla in their final fixture before the international break. It had been a nightmare start to the new season for Cadiz, as they lost all five of their opening fixtures of the season. During that period, they conceded 14 goals, and failed to score. However, things are looking slightly better coming into this weekend, as they recorded a first victory of the campaign before the international break. That win was recorded with a 1-0 success against Real Vallodolid. It was a dramatic winner to claim the three points, as Alvaro Negredo struck the winner in the 92nd minute. Cadiz vs Villarreal Head to Head Villarreal has won three of the previous six matches between the sides, with Cadiz picking up one victory during the same period. However, Cadiz should be confident coming into this fixture, as they recorded their only win against Villarreal in this exact fixture back in March. Two of the four La Liga meetings between the sides have ended in draws. Cadiz vs Villarreal Prediction The shock result in La Liga could come in this fixture on Saturday, as Villarreal boasts far from a dominant record against Cadiz. A victory for the hosts looks a long shot, which means a draw could be the value play in the fixture this weekend.
There will be a significant game at the bottom of the Premier League standings on Saturday, as West Ham United and Wolves both look for huge victories to move clear of the drop zone in the English top-flight. Both sides have picked up just a single win coming into this weekend’s match. Premier League Preview The pressure will be on West Ham United this weekend, as they will have home advantage. West Ham has recorded just a single victory from the seven games that they have played this season, and have been beaten on five occasions. Only Leicester City has lost more regularly in the Premier League so far this season. The Hammers are also the lowest scorers in the Premier League at this point, as they have managed to score just three goals in the matches that they have played. West Ham come into this fixture after having lost their previous two matches in the Premier League, with the latest of those being a 1-0 away defeat against Everton at Goodison Park before the international break. It has also been a slow start to the season for Wolves, as they find themselves in 17th place coming into this fixture at the London Stadium. The team from the Black Country has won just once in seven fixtures this season, and they were handed a third defeat of the campaign in their most recent fixture. Wolves will be aware that they could drop into the bottom three this weekend if they are unbeaten and other results go against them. Like the Hammers, Wolves has scored just three goals in the Premier League this term, while they have allowed just seven. Three of those goals came in a recent 3-0 defeat at home against Manchester City. West Ham vs Wolves Head to Head West Ham has picked up three victories in the previous four meetings between the sides, which includes home wins in each of the previous two seasons. Both of those wins have come with clean sheets, which includes the 1-0 success that was recorded in February. West Ham vs Wolves Prediction Given the attacking records of both of these sides, it looks hard to see this being a game with lots of goals. The safest play looks a wager on under 2.5 goals, while we could also see West Ham sneaking a 1-0 victory at home to pile the misery on Wolves.
Marseille will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the Ligue 1 season on Friday, as they look to reach the top of the Ligue 1 standings with a victory on the road against Angers. The home side will also be looking to maintain their solid form, and record a third straight victory in a row. Ligue 1 Preview We may have a close title race in Ligue 1 this season based on the performances that we have seen over the early weeks by Marseille. The French giants could move to the top of the league standings on Friday evening if they can pick up maximum points against an in-form Angers. Marseille should feel confident coming into the match this weekend, as they have started the season with six wins and two draws from the eight games that they have played. During that period, they have scored 16 goals and conceded just five times. However, they will need to bounce back, as they were held to a draw in their most recent fixture against Rennes before the international break. Angers enjoyed a fine turnaround in their form before the international break, as they picked up two straight victories to move up to 14th in the standings. Those were the first two wins that the French club has picked up this season, and they could move into the top half of the standings with a famous victory over Marseille this weekend. Their latest win came in an ill-tempered affair against Nice, with both sides being reduced to ten men in the fixture. However, the match-winning goal was scored just before the half time break, as Nabil Bentaleb scored a crucial goal for Angers to make it two wins from two. Angers vs Marseille Head to Head Marseille were big winners in the previous fixture between the sides last season, as they won 5-2 in April. They also come into this fixture having gone three without defeat against Angers. The last win for Angers against Marseille came in this exact fixture in December 2020. Angers vs Marseille Prediction It looks very challenging to see past Marseille in this fixture on Friday, given the strong style that they have started the season in. Angers look more than capable of putting up a strong fight, but the preference is for the travelling side to record a 2-1 victory to move to the top of Ligue 1.
It has been a slow start to the Bundesliga season for Bayern Munich. The reigning champions come into this fixture on Friday evening against Bayer Leverkusen looking for the first victory in four fixtures. Bundesliga Preview This has been an extremely rare poor start to the Bundesliga season for Bayern Munich, as they come into this fixture against Bayer Leverkusen sitting five points off the top spot in the Germany-top-flight. Their recent form has also been extremely slow, as they have failed to win in their previous four fixtures in the league, and were handed a first defeat of the season in their previous fixture. That defeat came against Augsburg away from home, as they were beaten 1-0. It was telling of the struggles that Bayern have endured throughout the early weeks of the season in the final third, as they very rarely looked like creating much by way of a clear goalscoring opportunity. Bayern will be hoping that the international break has helped refocus their efforts ahead of a crucial period of the season before the World Cup break in November. Bayer Leverkusen has endured an even slower start to the season in the Bundesliga, as they come into this fixture level on points with two of the three sides occupying the bottom three positions in the standings. Leverkusen has won just once in seven fixtures this season, and are winless in their previous three. However, unlike Bayern, they were able to avoid defeat in their most recent fixture in the Bundesliga, as they played out a 1-1 draw against Werder Bremen. The Leverkusen goal in that draw was scored by Kerem Demirbay, but Werder struck their equaliser with just eight minutes of the match remaining. Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Head to Head Bayern Munich is unbeaten in their previous five fixtures against Leverkusen, winning on four occasions. Leverkusen’s last win in this fixture did come at the Allianz back in November 2019. They could also have taken confidence from the fact that the previous meeting between the sides ended in a 1-1 draw in March. Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction The pressure will be on Bayern at the Allianz Area on Friday, as they will need to get their title challenge back on track. Against a struggling Leverkusen side, we expect them to pick up maximum points, and a 2-0 win could be the most likely outcome.
Domestic action resumes in Spain on Friday, as Athletic Bilbao will be looking to maintain the form they have started the new season in. The Spanish club will welcome Almeria to Bilbao, as the traveling side looks for a second win of the season. La Liga Preview It has been a fine start to the new La Liga season for Athletic Bilbao, and they will be hoping that the recent international break hasn’t stifled the momentum that they were building in Spain since the opening day. Bilbao comes into this fixture sitting fourth in the standings, as they have won four of the six fixtures that they have played. Victory on Friday would be enough to lift them up to third for at least 24 hours. They come into the fixture in good form, as they have picked up wins in each of their previous two fixtures in La Liga. The most recent of those was a dramatic 3-2 victory against Rayo Vallecano. Bilbao stretched into a 3-1 lead after just 33 minutes of that match, despite conceding the first goal. Goals for the home side in that fixture were scored by Inaki Williams, Oihan Sancet, and Nico Williams. Almeria come into this fixture in very weak form, as they have lost each of their previous three fixtures in La Liga. That form will be a big disappointment for the Spanish side, as they had lost just once in their opening three fixtures to the season. However, they will be aware that another defeat this weekend could see them drop into the bottom three. Almeria’s latest defeat was suffered on the road before the international break. Mallorca were the side to claim three points in that fixture, as they broke the deadlock after 25 minutes. Almeria did threaten to get back into the fixture, but they just couldn’t find a way through. Athletic Bilbao vs Almeria Head to Head Bilbao has a very good record against Almeria in matches played in La Liga since 2008. They have lost just twice in the previous eleven meetings, which includes victories in the previous two fixtures between the sides. Athletic Bilbao vs Almeria Prediction Bilbao’s excellent start to the new season makes them a very solid pick for this fixture in La Liga on Friday. We can’t see them having too many problems against a struggling Almeria, and a 2-0 win could be the most likely outcome.
The final round of fixtures in Nations League Group B4 take place on Tuesday. There will be an important fixture at the bottom end of the group, as both Sweden and Slovenia will be looking for the points that they need to secure their position in the second-tier. Nations League Preview It has been yet another disappointing campaign in the Nations League for Sweden, and they come into this final fixture starring down the barrel of relegation to Group C. Sweden has lost four of the five games that they have played in the competition this season, while they have picked up just a single victory. The Swedes have scored just six goals in the Nations League, and have conceded a group-high of ten goals. However, victory in their final fixture would save their blushes, as they could move ahead of Slovenia. But, they will need to bounce back to form, as they were hammered 4-1 in their latest fixture against Serbia. Viktor Claesson opened the scoring in that fixture for Sweden, but Serbia struck back and scored four goals to earn a deserved big victory. Slovenia come into the fixture knowing that a point will be good enough to ensure their position in Group B for the next round of Nations League matches in a few years time. They have won just once in the five games that they have played, but they have also suffered just two defeats. Slovenia will need to be more defensively solid in this fixture, as they have already conceded nine goals in the competition. However, they should be extremely confident coming into this final group game, as they beat Norway 2-1 on Saturday. Benjamin Sesko scored the winning goal in that fixture with nine minutes remaining on the clock. Sweden vs Slovenia Head to Head These two nations have met on three previous occasions. Slovenia are yet to record a victory against the Swedes, with the hosts having won two of the previous three matches between the nations. That includes a 2-0 victory in the previous match between the sides in the Nations League. Sweden vs Slovenia Prediction Sweden has a very strong record against Slovenia, but we like the chances of the away side in this fixture. They come into the match in better form, while the Swedes will be missing a number of key players through injury.
Algeria will be hoping to put a disappointing year behind them when they clash with Nigeria on Tuesday. They saw their hold on the Africa Cup of Nations come to an end in January, before they failed to qualify for the World Cup. Nigeria is their opponent this week in their final international fixture of 2022. International Friendly Preview It has been an extremely disappointing year for Algeria in 2022. Their hold on the Africa Cup of Nations trophy was brought to an end in emphatic fashion, as they were knocked out in the group stage, while their misery was extended after being knocked out of World Cup contention in the third round by Cameroon. However, since then, they have looked back to somewhere near their best form. They come into this fixture after picking up wins in their previous four fixtures, while they have conceded just once during that run of matches. Algeria has scored seven goals during that period, with their latest win being a 1-0 success against Guinea on Friday. The match-winning goal in that fixture was scored ten minutes from time by Islam Slimani. Nigeria is one of the other big nations that will be missing from the World Cup later this year, as they were knocked out of contention in the third round by Ghana in March. Since then, their form has been sketchy to say the least, as they have won twice in the four matches that they have played. Both wins came in Africa Cup of Nations qualification, beating both Sierra Leone and Sao Tome and Principle. The latter of those wins was their most recent outing, as they recorded a healthy 10-0 victory over their group rivals in June. Victor Osimhen was the star of the show in that victory, as he scored four times. Algeria vs Nigeria Head to Head Neither side holds the advantage in the overall record, as both Algeria and Nigeria have picked up nine victories apiece in the past. However, Algeria has a very strong recent record, as they have won the previous three matches that they have played against Nigeria. Algeria vs Nigeria Prediction Algeria’s healthy recent record against Nigeria makes them the pick to win this fixture on Tuesday. We expect this match to be a close encounter, but the preference is for the home side to pick up a 2-1 victory against their rivals.
Ivory Coast would have been extremely disappointed not to have qualified for the World Cup later this year. However, they will be looking to stay at the top of their game, as the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers resume in the new year. Guinea will be the visitors in an international friendly on Tuesday. International Friendly Preview The Ivory Coast has recovered well since failing to qualify for the World Cup earlier this year. They have started the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in solid form, having picked up a victory and a draw in the two matches that they have played. They also looked relatively strong when they played European nations in March, as they were beaten by just a single goal by France. The Ivory Coast have won two of their previous three international fixtures, with their most recent success coming at home against Togo on Saturday. All the goals in that fixture were scored in the second half, with Seko Fofana opening the scoring on the hour mark. They doubled their advantage just eight minutes later from the penalty spot, with Franck Kessie scoring the goal. However, they weren’t able to keep a clean sheet, as Togo struck a consolation with five minutes remaining. Guinea would have also been disappointed that they weren’t able to qualify for the World Cup earlier this year. That disappointment also continued into the Africa Cup of Nations, as they were eliminated in the round of 16 by Gambia. Guinea comes into this fixture having won just once in their previous five international fixtures, while they have failed to score in their previous two. Their latest defeat came on Friday, as they went down to a 1-0 loss against Algeria. Guinea looked to hit on the counter-attack in that fixture, but Algeria scored the winning goal with ten minutes remaining on the clock. Ivory Coast vs Guinea Head to Head The Ivory Coast boasts a superior record in this fixture, as they have won 13 of the previous 19 fixtures between the nations. However, they are winless in two fixtures against Guinea, with their most recent win coming back in February 2016. The most recent match between the sides came in November, as a 1-1 draw was played out. Ivory Coast vs Guinea Prediction Both of these nations will come into this fixture with a point to prove. However, we believe that the Ivory Coast is the stronger of the two sides, and we would expect them to record a victory.
South Africa will be in action for the final time this year on Tuesday, as they take on Botswana in an international friendly. Neither side will be looking to build momentum ahead of the World Cup, but both nations will be looking for solid outings ahead of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in March. International Friendly Preview South Africa and Botswana meet in an international friendly on Tuesday afternoon, with both sides looking to build momentum ahead of crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in the new year. The home side on Tuesday has been in pretty reliable form over recent fixtures this year, as they come into this match having recorded three victories in their previous four matches. Their only defeat during that period was a penalty shootout loss against Mozambique in the COSAFA Cup quarterfinals in July. Since then, they have picked up three straight victories, which includes a recent 4-0 success against Sierre Leone in an international friendly. Themba Zwane scored twice in that success, while the other goals were netted by Mihlali Mayambela and Aubrey Modiba. This will be the first international fixture that Botswana has played since their 2-1 defeat against South Africa in the match for fifth place at the COSAFA Cup in July. That loss ended a pretty decent run of form by the national side, as, before the defeat, they had claimed four victories from five fixtures. Their best win during that period was a 2-0 home success against Eswatini. Bame Morwaleia scored the opening goal in that fixture, before Resaobaka Thatnanyane scored the second goal in the game with just three minutes of the 90 remaining. However, a recent defeat against South Africa ensures that they will be the underdogs in this friendly on Tuesday. South Africa vs Botswana Head to Head South Africa holds a healthy advantage in the overall record between the nations, as they have picked up 13 previous victories against Botswana. Meanwhile, the travelling side this week has recorded just two victories. The most recent match between the sides was won 2-1 by South Africa in July. South Africa vs Botswana Prediction It looks challenging to see past South Africa collecting the victory on Tuesday. They have won the previous two fixtures between the sides, and have lost just once in the previous eight meetings between the two sides.
Switzerland will look to bolster their position away from the bottom of Group B when they host the Czech Republic at the AFG Arena on Tuesday at 19:45 GMT. The Czech Republic will be looking to take three points to move closer to second-placed Portugal. Match Preview Can Switzerland Leapfrog Czech Republic to 2nd on in the Group with a Win? Murat Yakin will be looking to build on their win over Portugal on matchday 4 to help bolster their form and turn their form in the Nations League around. Before the triumph over Portugal, Switzerland lost three consecutive matches in the tournament. Yakin will be hoping that his side have turned their form around and could deliver a winning performance against the Czech Republic on Tuesday. Switzerland will especially look to bolster their defensive shape against the dangerous Czech Republic attack, especially in quick transitions. Can the Czech Republic End their Two-Match Losing Run with a Win? After a win and a draw in their opening two fixtures in the Nations League, the Czech Republic have lost two on the trot, which means they are third on the table, just a point ahead of their Tuesday opponents Switzerland. Jaroslav Šilhavý will look to bolster his side’s game management against a Switzerland side that likes to attack. The focus will be on maintaining their shape when out of possession and transitioning quickly to attacking when they win the ball back. Form Guide Switzerland Apart from their win over Portugal in their last outing, Murat Yakin’s side have been in poor form in this term’s Nations League campaign. They opened their campaign with a 2-1 defeat away to the Czech Republic; this was the kind of match that Switzerland were expected to take points from. In the second match, they were comprehensively beaten 4-0 away to Portugal. Matchday saw Switzerland lose narrowly 0-1 at home to Spain before they hosted and beat Portugal on matchday 4. Murat Yakin will be looking to turn their form around when he hosts the Czech Republic on Tuesday. Czech Republic Czech Republic started brightly in Group B before their form tailed off, which has seen them lose ground to the pacesetters – Spain and Portugal. However, Jaroslav Šilhavý will be looking at the clash with Switzerland as a chance to turn their form around and get the points they need. They opened their campaign with a 2-1 triumph over Switzerland before holing Spain to a 2-2 draw on matchday 2. Jaroslav Šilhavý’s side have not won since; their matchday 3 ended in a 2-0 defeat away to Portugal before they were beaten 2-0 away o Spain in matchday 4. Possible Starting Lineups Switzerland Omlin; S. Widmer, M. Akanji, N. Elvedi, R. Rodriguez; R. Freuler, G. Xhaka, D. Sow; X. Shaqiri, H. Seferovic, B. Embolo Czech Republic Mandous; V. Jemelka, J. Brabec, D. Zima; J. Zeleny, M. Sadlek, T. Soucek, V. Coufal; J. Pesek, J. Kuchta, V. Cemy Players to Watch B. Embolo The 25-year-old forward who plays for Ligue 1 side Monaco has been in fine form this season. Embolo has scored two goals in eight appearances for Monaco this season while also notching once in two appearances in the Europa League. Embolo will be crucial for Switzerland as they look to turn their form around and collect the points they need in their group. The striker offers pace, penetration, link-up play, and dynamic movement. These tools are crucial in making the Switzerland attack unpredictable and thus dangerous against any defense. V. Cemy The 24-year-old winger, who plays for the Eredivisie side Twente, has been in fine form this season. He has grabbed 4 goals in 7 Eredivisie appearances for Twente. Cemy’s good form is fantastic news for both Twente and Jaroslav Šilhavý, who is looking to use the winger in the clash against Switzerland. Cemy will offer explosive pace down the wings, dangerous crossing, and the ability to cut in the pose a goal threat by linking up with the striker and advanced midfielders. Prediction Switzerland will look to be proactive and play on the ...
Portugal will host Spain at the Estadio Municipal de Braga on Tuesday at 19:45 GMT for matchday 6 of the Nations League campaign. With a solitary point separating the two sides at the top of Group B, both Spain and Portugal will be looking for the three points they need to take charge of the group. Match Preview Can Portugal Take Charge of Group B with a Win over Spain? After collecting seven points from the available twelve, Fernando Santos’ men will be looking to step up their form by performing well against Spain. Fernando Santos will focus on his team’s attacking play to enhance their goal-scoring. This will be crucial against a free-scoring Spanish side that are likely to pose an attacking threat as well. Portugal will especially seek to enhance the connection between their midfield and attacking players. This will help midfielders to spot runs and runners in the attacking third and thus bolster the chances created in the match. Can Spain Fortify their Position at the Top of the Group by Winning on Tuesday? Luis Enrique will be looking to bolster his side’s position at the top of the group on Tuesday when they travel to face Portugal. He will do this with one eye on the forthcoming World Cup Group E where they will face Japan, Germany, and Costa Rica. Spain will work on the speed of their build-up play; this is because they are expected to dominate possession. The focus will be on synching their play to speed up their passing and enhance their ability to create chances and score goals. However, they will need to find the defense-attack balance right against an equally accomplished Portugal side on Tuesday. Form Guide Portugal Portugal have won two times, drawn once, and lost once in their opening four Nations League matches. This means that they have collected 7 points and dropped five in the process; they are currently second on the table and a point behind group leaders Spain. Their opening match in the Nations League campaign came away to Spain, which ended in a 1-1 stalemate. Portugal subsequently beat Switzerland 4-0 on matchday 2 before triumphing over Czech Republic 2-0. Fernando Santos’ men lost matchday 4 away to Switzerland (1-0), which halted their unbeaten start to the campaign. Spain Luis Enrique’s side top Group B with eight points from their opening four fixtures. Spain are unbeaten in the Nations League so far after opening with two draws and are currently on a two-match winning run. Their first two outings were draws against Portugal (1-1) and away to the Czech Republic (2-2). Luis Enrique bolstered his side’s form in subsequent matches. On matchday 3, La Roja won 1-0 away to Switzerland before emerging 2-0 winners at home to the Czech Republic. Luis Enrique will be looking to leverage his side’s current form to get a win when they face Portugal on Tuesday. Possible Starting Lineups Portugal Patricio; N. Mendes, D. Pereira, Pepe, J. Cancelo; B. Fernandes, R. Neves, Vitinha; R. Leao, A. Silva, Otavio Spain Simon; J. Alba, P. Torres, Diego Llorente, C. Azpilicueta; Gavi, S. Busquets, M. Llorente; P. Sarabia, A. Morata, F. Torres Players to Watch R. Leao The 23-year-old has started his season with AC Milan well; he has scored three goals in six appearances for the Italian champions. Leao has also been involved in several goals and chances for Milan this season. His pace, dribbling, passing, and link-up play are crucial tools that Portugal can use to devastate opponents. Leao can also cut inside from wide areas to be involved in creating and scoring goals. The winger will be integral to Portugal’s chances of beating Spain on Tuesday. A. Morata The Atletico Madrid striker will lead the line for La Roja when they face Portugal on Tuesday. The 29-year-old striker has the experience and ability to be an attacking danger and cause the Portuguese defense a lot of trouble. His pace, movement, aerial prowess, and runs are crucial in putting the finishing touches to the intricate play that characterizes the Spanish...
The Nations League draws to a close in Group A4 this Sunday, as the battle for a place in the Nations League Finals takes place. The Netherlands and Belgium can still mathematically reach the final four of the competition, but the advantage is firmly with the hosts coming into the final matchday. Hungary vs Italy Prediction: Nations League Match on 26.09.2022 Nations League Preview It has been a pulsating campaign in Group A4, but just two teams can still make the Nations League Finals coming into the final round of fixtures. The Netherlands currently hold the firm advantage coming into the last round of games, as the Dutch sit three points clear of Belgium, and has a three goal advantage should the deciding factor be goal difference. The Netherlands have been excellent throughout the Group A4 fixtures, as they have picked up four wins and a draw from the five fixtures that they have played. They have scored the most goals with 13, and have allowed just six goals, which is also a group low coming into the final fixture. The Dutch stayed on course to top the group on Thursday, as they beat Poland 2-0 on the road. Cody Gakpo opened the scoring after 13 minutes, before Steven Bergwijn doubled the advantage just after the hour mark. However, Belgium will be aware that they are still in the hunt to top the group. They will need to win by at least two clear goals to snatch top spot on the final matchday. Roberto Martinez’s side has won three of the five games that they have played, but they have been held to one draw and have also been beaten once. They stayed in the hunt for the top spot on Thursday evening, as they beat Wales 2-1 at home. Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring after ten minutes, before Michy Batshuayi doubled the lead 27 minutes later. Netherlands vs Belgium Head to Head These two nations are no strangers to one another, as they will meet for the 129th time this weekend. The Dutch have won on 56 occasions, while Belgium has picked up 41 victories. The Netherlands are unbeaten in three against Belgium, which includes a 4-1 victory in June. Netherlands vs Belgium Prediction This fixture should have a very open feel to it this weekend, as Belgium will need to chase a big win. However, we can’t see them being able to keep the Netherlands out, which means a Belgium win and both teams to score would be our play. Make sure to bet on Netherlands vs Belgium with 22Bet!
Mali and Zambia clash for the second time in four days on Monday, as the two African nations look to build momentum ahead of the upcoming fixtures in the Africa Cup of Nations qualification in March. But, which team will go into those fixtures with victory in this friendly on Monday? Nicaragua vs Ghana Prediction: International Friendly Match on 27.09.2022 International Friendly Preview Zambia should be the more confident side coming into this fixture on Monday, as they have been in solid form throughout 2022. They were recently crowned winners in the COSAFA Cup, as they beat Namibia 1-0 in the final. They won every fixture on their way to winning that competition, although one victory was achieved via penalty shootout in the quarterfinals against Botswana. Their latest fixture was the victory in the COSAFA Cup final, as an own goal from Edward Maova was eventually enough to seal their place in the history books with a famous honour. Zambia also started their Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign in decent form, as they have picked up one win from the two games that they have played to sit second in the standings. Mali have enjoyed an even stronger start to their Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign, as they have won both fixtures that they have played. In total, they have scored seven goals and have conceded just once in the fixtures that they have played. However, they come into this fixture in slightly indifferent form. They are yet to win a match in three attempts since their victory against South Sudan in June. They have been held to draws in each of their last two fixtures, while they were also beaten by Mauritania in August. Mali vs Zambia Head to Head The overall record certainly favours Zambia coming into this fixture, as they haven’t lost in five fixtures against Mali. During that run, they have recorded two victories, while three matches have ended in draws. The latest fixture between the nations came in January 2016, as the sides played out a 0-0 draw.

Spain will play their final home game of the Nations League group stages this weekend, as they square off against Switzerland. The travelling side will be looking for vital points to stay off the bottom spot in the standings, while the Spanish will be looking to remain top of the standings before their fixture against Portugal next week. Czech Republic vs Portugal Prediction: Nations League Match on 24.09.2022 Nations League Preview It looks set to be a big week for Spain, as they look to ensure their place in the finals of the Nations League. Spain currently sits a point clear at the top of the Group 2 standings, as they have picked up victories in two of the four games that they have played. They are yet to suffer a defeat this term in the Nations League, and have scored six goals and conceded just three times. However, their lead at the top of the standings remains a slim one, as Portugal host Spain in the final round of fixtures next week. Still, the Spanish comes into this fixture in good form, as they have won their previous two fixtures in the Nations League. Their latest success was a 2-0 home win against the Czech Republic. Switzerland are starring down the barrel of relegation in the Nations League, and they will be aware that they are relying on favours from elsewhere in the final week of fixtures. The Swiss currently sit bottom of the standings, as they have won just once in the four fixtures that they have played. However, confidence would have been taken from their 1-0 win last time out. That victory came at home to Portugal, with Haris Seferovic scoring the only goal in the game after just a minute of play. The Swiss were able to keep Portugal out for the remainder of that fixture, and they will need an equal defensive performance this weekend. Spain vs Switzerland Head to Head Spain has a very strong record against the Swiss, as they have won 18 of the previous 24 meetings between the sides. Switzerland has picked up just one win, while five matches have ended in draws. Spain vs Switzerland Prediction Spain has the outright record in this fixture, and have picked up three wins in the previous four matches between the sides. All victories have come in the previous two years, and we would expect them to maintain that run with another success this weekend. Make sure to bet on Spain vs Switzerland with 22Bet!
The penultimate round of fixtures in League A Group 2 of the Nations League take place this Saturday. Three teams can still finish top of the standings, with two of those meeting on Saturday. However, the Czech Republic will likely need a victory to enhance their chances of avoiding relegation. Spain vs Switzerland Prediction: Nations League Match on 24.09.2022 Nations League Preview Spain look like the side to catch in this group, as they sit a point clear of Portugal coming into the penultimate round of fixtures. Portugal remain the most likely danger to the current leaders, as they have won twice in the four fixtures that they have played. The Portuguese have also scored the most goals in this group, and have conceded the fewest. However, the travelling side this weekend come into this fixture looking to bounce back after suffering defeat in Geneva last time out. That 1-0 defeat came at the hands of Switzerland, with the hosts scoring the eventual winning goal in the fixture in the very first minute. However, Portugal would have considered themselves to be extremely unlikely in the end, as they dominated proceedings, but just couldn’t make a breakthrough. The Czech Republic will be fighting for points to stay in League A over the coming seven days, as they currently sit third and are just a point ahead of Switzerland, who currently sit in the relegation spot in Group 2. They have won once in the four games that they have played in this campaign of the Nations League, and have conceded a group high of seven goals. The Czech’s come into this after suffering a second defeat in a row in their latest fixture. That defeat was suffered on the road in Spain, as they conceded goals in both halves to lose 2-0. However, they will be looking for a much better defensive performance in front of their home fans this weekend. Czech Republic vs Portugal Head to Head This will only be the fifth time that Portugal and the Czech Republic have squared off in an international fixture. Portugal holds a dominant advantage after picking up victories in three of the meetings, which includes victories in each of the last three fixtures. Their latest win was a 2-0 success back in June. Czech Republic vs Portugal Prediction This is a big game for Portugal on Saturday, as they look to remain within touching distance of Spain at the top of the standings. I would expect Portugal to pick up the victory, and a 1-0 scoreline looks a solid prediction. Make sure to bet on Czech Republic vs Portugal with 22Bet!
Two sides that will be looking to avoid relegation in the Nations League will clash on Friday evening. It has been a miserable campaign for England, but they will be looking to build momentum ahead of the start of the World Cup in just under two months against the side that beat them in the final of the European Championships last summer. Germany vs Hungary Prediction: Nations League Match on 23.09.2022 Nations League Preview It has been far from a stellar campaign for both England and Italy coming into the penultimate round of fixtures in the Nations League this weekend. The Three Lions could be relegated to League B for the first time if they suffer defeat against Italy on Friday. However, victory for the Three Lions could take their fight into the final round of fixtures. England has failed to win in four previous fixtures in the Nations League this term, and have picked up just two points from the matches that they have played. They have scored just a single goal, and have allowed six against, which is the second worst record in the group fixtures, The Three Lions were handed one of their biggest ever home defeats in the previous round of Nations League fixtures, as England were hammered 4-0 by Hungary. Italy have at least picked up a victory in the four games that they have played in the Nations League so far this term. However, they still sit on just five points, after being held to draws on two occasions and losing once. Their only defeat in the Group 3 fixtures came in their previous outing, as they were well-beaten on the road against Germany. The home side were comprehensive 5-2 winners in that fixture, with the only goals for Italy being scored as they were already 5-0 down. Wilfried Gnonto scored the first consolation, before Alessandro Bastoni scored a second goal in the 94th minute. Italy vs England Head to Head England has only picked up eight victories from the previous 29 meetings between these two nations. The Three Lions are also unbeaten in the previous five meetings between the nations, with three of the previous four fixtures ending in draws.

Therefore, Italy looks the sound pick to pick up the victory. Make sure to bet on Italy vs England with 22Bet!
The penultimate round of games in the Nations League take place this week. League A Group 3 looks set for a thrilling finale, with all four teams involved still fighting for vital points. Meanwhile, two of the three teams in the hunt for a place in the Nations League finals meet on Friday. Italy vs England Prediction: Nations League Match on 23.09.2022 Nations League Preview Hungary come into their penultimate group game of the Nations League with their fate in their own hands. Victories in their final two group games would wrap up top spot, which looked incredibly unlikely when the draw was made, as they were pitted against England, Italy and Friday’s opponents Germany. However, they have looked incredibly strong throughout the Nations League to this point, as they have won two of the four games that they have played. In total, they have scored seven goals and have allowed just three; which are both group best tallies coming into this tricky fixture on the road this week. Hungary come into this fixture after one of their very best national team performances last time out. In that fixture, they beat England 4-0 away from home. Roland Sallai scored twice in that success, while further goals in the final ten minutes were added by Zsoit Nagy and Daniel Gazdag. Germany are the likely challengers for top spot in the group, as they currently sit second after picking up one win and three draws. Victory on Friday would move them up to top spot in the standings ahead of their final group game against England next week. Germany were also big winners in their most recent fixture in the Nations League, as they picked up a big 5-2 victory at home against Italy. Joshua Kimmich opened the scoring, while Timo Werner scored twice, and Thomas Muller and Ilkay Gundogen also found the net. Germany vs Hungary Head to Head These two nations have a very even record overall. Germany holds the narrow advantage with 13 victories, while there have been 12 draws and eleven victories for Hungary. However, Germany is unbeaten in the four previous fixtures, with the last two both ending in draws. Germany vs Hungary Prediction This looks to be a pivotal fixture when it comes to the team that will finish top of the group. However, we could see the Germans taking the points, as they move to within a victory of finishing in the top spot. Make sure to bet on Germany vs Hungary with 22Bet!
We will get a look at the World Cup favourites this weekend, as Brazil clash with Ghana at Stade Oceane on Friday evening. It will all be about the preparations for the major tournament for the Brazilians, but Ghana should be more than capable of putting up a good performance against the pre-tournament favourites. Egypt vs Liberia Prediction: International Friendly Match on 27.09.2022 International Friendly Preview Brazil has a very good recent record coming into this fixture, as they have picked up five straight victories. They have looked far more formidable in front of goal since finishing top of the South American World Cup qualification group. In the previous four fixtures that they have played, Brazil has scored 14 goals and have conceded just once. However, they were slightly more wasteful in their last international fixture, as they could only register a 1-0 victory on the road against Japan. The only goal in the win was scored from the penalty spot in the 77th minute, with Neymar converting the spot kick. However, Brazil had more than enough chances in that fixture to be well clear before eventually scoring the winning goal. That was evident as they had 21 shots, but just five on target. Ghana are also preparing for the World Cup in just under two months time, as they were drawn in a very tricky looking group that also includes South Korea, Uruguay and Portugal. The African side come into this fixture in relative solid form, as they recently finished third in the Kirin Cup. The only defeat that they have suffered in their previous six international fixtures came in the semi-finals of the Kirin Cup, as they were beaten by Japan. However, victories have also been hard to find for Ghana during that run, as they have picked up just one victory. Brazil vs Ghana Head to Head This will be the fifth time that Brazil and Ghana have clashed in an international fixture. All four of the previous meetings have been won the Brazilians, which included a 1-0 win in the latest meeting between the pair in September 2011. Brazil vs Ghana Prediction The overall record between these sides makes Brazil the clear pick this weekend. The Brazilians have looked extremely strong in their recent fixtures that they have played, and we would expect Brazil to continue to build their momentum against Ghana with a commanding 3-0 victory.

The Pharaohs will be looking to bounce back from back-to-back defeats against Ethiopia (2-0) and South Korea (4-1) when they host Liberia. Egypt’s manager, Rui Vitória, is looking to re-jig the team that is still reeling from the AFCON final defeat in the penalty shootout at the hands of Senegal in Cameroon earlier this year.

Liberia will be looking to end their losing streak, which extends four matches back.

They narrowly won this clash with an 87th-minute goal by Mostafa Mohamed handing them all three points. The second AFCON qualifiers away to Ethiopia ended in defeat for the Pharaohs. Rui Vitória’s men conceded in the 21st minute to a Dawa Hotessa Dukele goal before defeat was confirmed in the 39th minute with a Shemeles Bekele goal. This defeat exposed Egypt’s lack of cutting edge in front of goal and creative failings, especially since their dominated the ball. Liberia Peter Butler’s men have lost their last four outings. Three of these defeats came in friendly clashes against Benin (0-4), Sierra Leone (0-1), and Burundi (1-2). The other defeat came on matchday 2 of the AFCON qualifiers against Morocco (0-2).

The focus will be on getting their Nations League off the ground with a win in front of the home fans. The Three Lions have exhibited some softness in their spine in recent matches, especially in the 0-4 defeat to Hungary. The team’s focus ahead of the clash with Germany is restoring their solidity without negatively affecting their attacking threat. Southgate will look to tweak the personnel and shape of the team to get the best out of the important players that were instrumental in taking them to the Euros finals. Can Germany make it Two Wins on the Trot in the Nations League? Germany will be looking to take the lead in Group C with a win over England at Wembley. Although they are unbeaten, Hansi Flick’s side have won just once in their Nations League campaign so far. Flick will be hoping that his side can display the cutting edge and character they need to win big matches at big stages. His focus will be on setting up his side to manage England’s attacking threats down the flanks and in transitions. Flick will have to set the defensive shape in a way that does not affect his attacking play. Form Guide England England are winless in the Nations League campaign, which comprises four outings so far. The Three Lions have two points from two draws while they have lost the remaining two fixtures. On matchday 1, away to Hungary, Southgate’s men surprisingly lost 1-0 against the hosts. This performance was followed by a respectable 1-1 draw away to Germany before another big match ended in a 0-0 stalemate against Italy. The worst result of England’s Nations League campaign came in their last outing, which ended in a 0-4 drubbing at home to Hungary. Germany Germany started their Nations League campaign with three consecutive draws. These came against Italy (1-1), England (1-1), and Hungary (1-1). They finally won their first match in the campaign in the 5-2 demolition of Italy on matchday 4. Apart from the 5-2 win over Italy, Germany scored three goals and conceded three. Hansi Flick’s side have not kept a clean sheet in the Nations League this term. The focus for the team will be to bolster their solidity while enhancing their attacking threat. This will especially be crucial in the clash with England given the Three Lions’ attacking threat. Possible Starting Lineups England Pickford; K. Trippier, H. Maguire, J. Stones, K. Walker; J. Henderson, D. Rice; R. Starling, M. Mount, B. Saka; H. Kane Germany Neuer; L. Klostermann; A. Rudiger, N. Schlotterbeck; J. Hofmann, J. Kimmich, i. Gundogan, D. Raum; T. Muller, J. Musiala; K. Havertz Players to Watch H. Kane The Tottenham striker is the talisman for the Three Lions. He has started the season impressively, with six goals in seven appearances for Antonio Conte’s side. Gareth Southgate will be looking to leverage this goo vein of form for the clash with Germany. Kane offers goal scoring threat while being crucial for the creativity of the team’s attack. He can drop into midfield to link-up play with other attackers, and release the wide players cutting inside. Kane will be central to England’s attacking play in the clash with Germany. i. Gundogan The Manchester City midfielder offers defensive solidity and attacking guile at the same time. Gundogan is good at closing down space in midfield, tackling, winning back possession for his team, and driving with the ball into attacking areas.

He will especially look to bolster his defensive shape against a talented Italian side that are the European champions. This will be combined with a well-choreographed transition attacking approach with quick passing after winning possession. Transitions will be important for Hungary because Italy are expected to maintain huge amounts of possession and dominate the playing territory of the pitch. This means that quick counter-attacks will be the best approach to create chances. Can Italy Bounce Back to Winning Ways against Hungary? The Azzuri will be reeling from their failure to make it to the World Cup in Qatar. However, the Nations League presents a platform for Italy to showcase their form and demonstrate improvement under Roberto Mancini. Mancini will focus on how the team deals with counter-attacks after possession turnover. The quality of the team on the ball is not in doubt. However, a possession-heavy approach leaves the defense and midfield exposed to transition attacks. This danger will be posed by a Hungary side that is full of pace and a compact defensive shape. Form Guide Hungary Marco Rossi’s side hauled 7 points and dropped 5 in 4 outings in the Nations League this term. They are currently sitting top of Group C, a point ahead of second-placed Germany, and two ahead of their opponents Italy.

Camara, D. Samassekou; K. Coulibaly, Y. Bissouma, A. Haidara; E. B. Toure Zambia Klaumba; L. Chamanga, D. Chanda, A. Kalipa, B. Chepeshi; S. Yussuf Phiri, K. Kapumbu; K. Kampamba, J. Mutale, S. Sautu; R. Banda Players to Watch Y. Bissouma Bissouma provides energy, drive, and bite in midfield for Mali. The Tottenham midfielder offers a hard-running, high-intensity, and high-energy style of football that allows Mali to dominate the midfield. Although he is known in the Premier League as a defensive midfielder, in the Mali national team, he plays further forward. This position allows him to connect midfield with attack and gives him license to get into attacking positions. Bissouma will be crucial for Mali in the clash against COSAFA Cup champions Zambia on Friday. R. Banda The striker’s biggest attribute for Zambia is his connection with the other attacking players. This is especially the case with the wide attackers – Kampamba and Sautu. He also dovetails well with J. Mutale who has license to take up attacking positions in midfield. Banda also provides pace and the ability to run b...

Cavalli will also be looking to integrate some players into the national team setup by examining them under pressure. Form Guide Egypt The Pharaohs have started their Africa Cup of Nations qualification process, in Group D, with one win and a defeat in two outings. Their opening match was a 1-0 home win against Guinea and they followed this up with a 2-0 defeat away to Egypt. Rui Vitória’s men then lost their last friendly match against South Korea, 4-1, away from home. This match was informative to the manager as he looks to find the right balance in his team to achieve the consistency they need to navigate the qualifiers successfully.

Mepham, S. Thomas; H. Wilson, E. Ampadu, M. Smith; D. James, G. Bale Players to Watch K. De Bruyne The Manchester City ace is the heartbeat of the Belgian national team.

Roberto Martinez will look to ensure that De Bruyne is in the right attacking places to have the biggest impact on the match. G. Bale The 33-year-old is still Wales’ talisman, despite moving to Major League Soccer. His pace and goal scoring are important aspects the Wales national team will need in the clash with Belgium. At 33, Bale is experienced and has become the leader of the Wales team. He can lead the attack and ensure that other attackers are where they should be tactical. His pace will especially pose a threat to Belgium alongside Daniela James, who is equally rapid in attacking transitions. Prediction Belgium will take the initiative, play on the front ...

Les Bleu are winless in four outings and they have collected two points out of the available 12. Deschamps will focus on the performance levels and intensity of his side when they face a talented Austrian side on Thursday. This will be challenging given the diversity of his playing talent and where they play for their respective clubs. Defensive solidity will be crucial against Austria as France look to get back to keeping clean sheets while maintaining their attacking threat. Can Austria Bounce Back to Winning Ways away to France? Ralf Rangnick will prepare his team to face the World Champions with respect but without fear at the Stade de France. Austria have shown good form by taking four points so far this season. Ralf Rangnick will be looking to instill some consistency into their performances while maintaining high intensity and energy levels during their matches. Rangnick will be wary of the attacking talents in the France team; he will focus on implementing a shape that bolsters their defensive solidity while maintaining their attacking threat. This will be crucial in the clash against France on Thursday as the World Champions look to turn their poor form with a win. Form Guide France Les Bleu are winless in their opening four outings in the Nations League this term. They are currently at the basement of the group with just two points out of the 12 they have played for so far. Deschamps’ men opened their campaign with an abject 1-2 home defeat to Denmark.

They opened matchday 1 of the Nations League with a comprehensive 0-3 win away to Croatia. However, this is the only win in the campaign so far because Rangnick’s side have lost twice against Denmark (1-2, and 2-0) and drawn against France (1-1). Possible Starting Lineups France Lloris; T. Hernandez, I. Konate, W. Saliba, B. Pavard; B. Kamara, A. Tchouameni; K. Coman, A. Griezman, K. Mbappe; K. Benzema Austria Pentz; S. Lainer, G. Trauner, D. Alaba, M. Wober; K. Laimer, X. Schlager, N. Seiwald, M. Sabitzer; A. Weimann, M. Arnautovic Players to Watch K. Mbappe The 23-year-old PSG forward has started this season very well; he has hit seven Ligue 1 goals in seven appearances for PSG. He has also added three further goals in two appearances in the Champions League. For Les Bleus, Mbappe has become a talisman; he will be crucial in the clash with Austria, especially in weaving the France attacks together and penetrating the defensive line. M. Arnautovic The 33-year-old forward has scored six goals in seven appearances for Serie A side Bologna. His offensive threats come from his pace, physical attributes, movement, and cutting edge in front of goal. He will be important for Austria in the clash against France on Thursday. Prediction France will focus on their possession-based approach to dominate the ba...
Croatia will welcome Group A leaders Denmark to the Stadion Maksimir on Thursday at 19:45. Croatia will be looking to replace Denmark at the top of the table with a win, whereas Denmark will be looking to extend their lead at the top with a triumph away to Croatia.

The focus will be to match the intensity of the Denmark team that is known for its high-energy and hard-running performances. Dalić will also be wary of the Denmark midfield that can dominate possession and form the basis for their attacks. Can Denmark Maintain their Advantage at the Top of the Table? Kasper Hjulmand has established a brilliant balance in his Denmark team; this has translated to fantastic performances in the Nations League campaign, which sees them top their group. Hjulmand will look to maintain the good Danish form when they face Croatia on Thursday away from home. The focus will be on maintaining their discipline, nerve, and performance levels in this match. The main concern for Hjulmand will be getting his side back to the national team rhythm after they have spent the last several weeks engaged in their respective clubs’ duties. This will be crucial for their performance levels. Form Guide Croatia In their Nations League campaign, Croatia have played four matches. In this run, they have won twice, drawn once, and lost once. This means that they have collected 7 points out of the available 12. Zlatko Dalić’s men started their campaign with a shocking 3-0 home defeat against Austria. They responded to this setback by holding the World Champions France to a 1-1 draw before winning their next two fixtures.

Zlatko Dalić will be looking to leverage this form to make it three consecutive wins in the competition. Denmark Kasper Hjulmand’s men started their Nations League campaign brilliantly with a stunning 1-2 win away to World Champions France. They followed this win up with a 1-2 win over Austria. Denmark lost their first in the Nations League this term against their Thursday opponents Croatia; this match ended 0-1.

Sutalo, M. Erlic, J. Stanisic; M. Kovacic, M. Brozovic, L. Modric; J. Brekalo, A. Budimir, M. Pasalic Denmark Schmeichel; J. Andersen, A. Christensen, N. Boilesen; R, Nissen, P. Hojbjerg, M. Jensen, J. Maehle; A. S. Olsen, J. Wind; A. Cornelius Players to Watch L. Modric The 37-year-old midfielder is a crucial cog anchoring the Croatia midfield. Modric is an intelligent player that plays in between the lines, keeps possession, and has an eye for a pass. His passing is important in allowing Croatia to retain possession in dangerous areas. He recycles the ball well within midfield to enable progressive play for the team. His long-range passing allows Croatia to be dynamic and unpredictable in their play. This also allows the attacking players to make runs confident that they will get the ball in attacking areas. P. Hojbjerg The Tottenham defensive midfielder is a crucial destroyer for club and country. His main attributes are in tackling, winning back possession, and setting off attacks from deep. In the clash with Croatia, Hojbjerg will come up against a midfiel...

Match Preview Can Netherlands Extend their Unbeaten Run to Five Nations League Matches? Louis van Gaal has been impressed by his side’s start to the Nations League campaign where they have dropped just two points. He will be focused on maintaining the good vein of form going into the clash against Poland on Thursday. Van Gaal will ensure that his side are switched on to the danger posed by Poland and that they will need to be at their very best to get the three points they want from this fixture. Netherlands will focus on the intensity of the match as they will look to silence the passionate home support at the National Stadium Warsaw, and thus take the initiative of the match. Can Poland Get Back to Winning Ways After Three Winless Outings? Czesław Michniewicz will be looking for massive improvements in performance, mentality, and intensity from his side to stand a chance of taking something from the clash with the in-form Netherlands side. Having kept no clean sheet in their opening four matches of the Nations League campaign, Poland will be looking to bolster their defensive shape to reduce the concession of chances and goals. This will be important because they will be facing a rampant Netherlands attack that can pose a danger to any defense in their current form. Form Guide Poland Poland opened their Nations League campaign with a robust home win against Wales (2-1). This match was won in the 85th minute with Karol Swiderski grabbing the winner. However, despite the positive start, Poland have gone three matches without a win. They have lost twice against Belgium (6-1) and Belgium (0-1). Poland have also drawn once in a 2-2 result against Netherlands. Poland will be looking to turn their form around in Group D, starting with the match at home to the Group D leaders Netherlands on Thursday. Netherlands Oranje are the pacesetters in Group D; they have hauled 10 points and dropped just two in their four Nations League outings. They will be looking to extend their league at the top of the group when they face Poland on Thursday. Their nations League campaign began with back-to-back wins against Belgium (1-4) and Wales (1-2). These wins set the stage for their dominance of the group. Van Gaal’s side were held to a 2-2 draw against Poland before bouncing back to a 3-2 win over Wales. The focus for Oranje will be on a positive performance against Poland on Thursday to take all three points and further bolster their position. Possible Starting Lineups Poland Szczesny; M. Cash, M. Wieteska, K. Glik, J. Kiwior, N. Zalewski; S. Zurkowski, K. Linetty, S. Szymanski; P. Zielinski, R. Lewandowski Netherlands Cillissen; J. Teze, M. de Ligt, B. Martins Indi; H. Hateboer, T. Koopmeiners, F. de Jong, T. Malacia; C. Gakpo; V. Janssen, N. Lang Players to Watch R. Lewandowski The 34-year-old striker has made a stunning start to life in La Liga and as a Barcelona player. He has grabbed eight goals in six La Liga appearances for Barcelona. He has also scored three in two appearances in the Champions League for the Blaugrana. Lewandowski will be taking this good vein of form into the national team setup and the clash against Netherlands on Thursday. Poland will look to give their striker the best platform to be as dangerous as possible in front of goal. V. Janssen The Royal Antwerp striker has been brilliant in the Belgian Pro League, where he has six goals in nine appearances. The striker provides robust pace, physicality, movement, and penetration through runs and link-up. His goal threat will especially be important for Oranje in Thursday’s clash with Poland.

Two sides that are struggling in the Premier League this term clash on Sunday. Everton are still searching for a first league win of the season, while the Hammers remain in the bottom three places after picking up just one victory from the opening six league fixtures of the season. Lyon vs PSG Prediction: Ligue 1 Match on 18.09.2022 Premier League Preview Frank Lampard will only be too aware that this is a huge fixture for his Everton side this weekend. The Toffees are still looking for a first league win of the season, and they are one of just two sides in the Premier League yet to win a fixture this term. However, they have been much harder to beat over the recent weeks of the Premier League, as they have recorded four straight draws. Everton has scored four goals and conceded just six so far this term, which at least shows that they are solid at the back this term. The Toffees were happy with a point in their latest league fixture, as they played out a 0-0 draw against Liverpool. Everton had some of the better chances in that fixture, but they couldn’t break the deadlock against their arch rivals. It has been a very disappointing start to the season for West Ham, and they come into this fixture still sitting in the bottom three places in the Premier League standings. They have won just one fixture this term, and have scored a league-low of just three goals. The Hammers were beaten for the third time in five matches in their latest fixture. That defeat was suffered on the road against Chelsea, with the Blues stealing the points with just two minutes remaining. West Ham’s only goal in that game was scored after 62 minutes by Michail Antonio. Everton vs West Ham Head to Head Everton have won more fixtures against West Ham United than they have against any other side in the league. However, the Hammers have won each of their previous two fixtures at Goodison Park, including the 1-0 win they recorded last season. Everton vs West Ham Prediction This is likely to be a very low scoring fixture given the attacking displays both sides have shown already this term. However, we could see Everton’s wait for a first league win of the campaign come to an end this weekend. Make sure to bet on Everton vs West Ham with 22Bet!
Two of the biggest teams in France clash on Sunday evening, as Lyon host PSG. The hosts will be looking to bounce back after suffering defeats in their previous two fixtures, while PSG will be looking for a fourth straight league victory. Ligue 1 Preview It has been a formidable start to the new Ligue 1 season for PSG, as they sit top of the French top flight at this very early stage. They have won six of the seven fixtures that they have played this term, and have scored a league high of 25 goals. To this point, they have allowed just four goals against, which is the joint-best defensive record in Ligue 1 this term. PSG recorded a third straight domestic win in a row in their latest fixture, as they recorded a 1-0 home success against Brest. It wasn’t their best performance of the season, but the Parisians always looked to have something in reserve should they need to step their performance up a gear. The only goal was scored in the first half by Neymar. Lyon come into this fixture in very disappointing form, as they have lost their previous two fixtures in the French top-flight. Those defeats have seen the French side drop to fifth in the league standings, while they have also allowed nine goals in the seven games that they have played this term. Lyon were beaten on the road in their previous fixture, as they lost 2-1 against Monaco. The only goal for Lyon in that defeat was scored with just nine minutes remaining by Karl Toko Ekambi. However, they will need to be much better this weekend if they are to take anything out of the fixture. Lyon vs PSG Head to Head Only Monaco has a better record against PSG since the takeover of QSI than Lyon. During that period, Lyon has picked up 19 points, which includes five victories and four draws. The majority of their points have been home in home fixtures, which includes four wins and three draws. Lyon vs PSG Prediction Lyon may have a pretty decent record against PSG, but it remains hard to see them getting the victory this weekend based on the recent form that they have been in. Therefore, we expect PSG to win this fixture on Sunday, and they could do so with a 2-0 scoreline. Make sure to bet on Lyon vs PSG with 22Bet!
There will be a huge fixture in Serie A on Sunday, as the reigning Italian champions host the current league leaders. AC Milan could move to the top of the league standings with a victory, while Napoli will be looking to stretch their advantage at the summit. Roma vs Atalanta Prediction: Serie A Match on 18.09.2022 Serie A Preview It has been a strong start to the Serie A season for both AC Milan and Napoli. Both sides could move to the top of the league standings with victory this weekend, but it is Napoli that currently holds that position in the table. The visitors have been in fine form since the opening weekend of the season, as they have picked up four wins in the six games that they have played, Napoli has scored a league high of 13 goals this term, and they have conceded just four. They come into this fixture with good momentum behind them, as they have won their previous two league fixtures. Their latest win was a 1-0 success against Spezia. While it wasn’t the most dominant showing by the home side, they showed that they could grind out results to collect victories. AC Milan were the shock winners of Serie A last season, and they will be looking to win a second title in a row this term. The Italian giants have won their previous two games, and have picked up three victories from their last four matches. Milan could move to the top of the league standings with victory this weekend. To this point, they have won four times and drawn twice in the two games that they have played. Milan’s latest success was a 2-1 success on the road against Sampdoria. The winning goal was scored by Oliver Giroud from the penalty spot. AC Milan vs Napoli Head to Head Milan claimed victory in the previous match between these two sides. That win ended a run of two straight losses in this fixture for the league champions. However, both of the previous two fixtures between the sides at the San Siro in recent years have been won 1-0 by Napoli. AC Milan vs Napoli Prediction This could be the weekend we see Napoli put down a firm marker that they are in the Serie A title race this season. They have a strong record at the San Siro, and we could see them coming out on top with a 2-1 success. Make sure to bet on AC Milan vs Napoli with 22Bet!
There is a huge fixture in Serie A on Sunday, as AS Roma and Atalanta clash. Both sides will be looking for a huge victory, as they look to enhance their chances of finishing in a European place this term. Serie A Preview Both Atalanta and AS Roma have started the season in Italy relatively well. However, Atalanta were replaced at the top of the league standings over the previous weekend, as they were leapfrogged by Napoli. AS Roma were able to bounce back to winning ways in their most recent fixture, which means three points this weekend could lift them up to the top of the standings, depending on other results. Jose Mourinho would have been happy with the response of his team last weekend, as they bounced back after suffering back to back defeats against Udinese and Ludogorets. The victory was recorded against Empoli, with Paulo Dybala opening the scoring in the first half. However, the points were wrapped up in the second half as Tammy Abraham continued his excellent scoring run this term. Atalanta could move back to the top of the standings this weekend with a victory on the road against Roma. The Italian giants dropped to second in the standings last weekend, as they were unable to record a fourth straight victory in the league. Instead, they were forced to settle for a point at home against Cremonese. The Italian side would have been extremely disappointed not to have picked up maximum points in that fixture, but they didn’t deserve the victory based on that showing. Atalanta took the lead through Merih Demiral after 74 minutes, but that advantage only lasted two minutes before the travelling side struck back in impressive fashion. Roma vs Atalanta Head to Head Roma has an excellent record against Atalanta under Jose Mourinho. They won both meetings against their rivals last season, and they could record a third straight victory against Atalanta since 2011 this weekend. However, Roma has only won once in their previous eight home fixtures against Atalanta, losing on three occasions. Roma vs Atalanta Prediction This should be an entertaining fixture between the sides this weekend. We could see the game have a lot of goals, which means over 2.5 goals could be a solid chance. However, a draw would be our pick when it comes to the result of the fixture. Make sure to bet on Roma vs Atalanta with 22Bet!
Bayern Munich will be looking to get their domestic campaign back on track this weekend, as they travel to Augsburg. The Bavarian giants have drawn their previous three fixtures in the league. Meanwhile, the hosts picked up a second win of the season in their latest fixture. Valencia vs Celta Vigo Prediction: La Liga Match on 17.09.2022 Bundesliga Preview It hasn’t been the best start to the new Bundesliga season for Bayern Munich, as they currently sit third in the league standings. The Bavarian giants appear to be still coming to terms with a new forward line following the departure of Robert Lewandowski. Despite that, Bayern are still the highest scorers in the league this term, as they have hit the back of the net on 19 occasions. However, they come into this fixture in a bit of a rut, as they have been held to draws in each of their previous three fixtures in the league. The latest of those came against Stuttgart last weekend, as they were denied maximum points in the final minute of injury time at the end of the game. The goals in the 2-2 draw for Bayern were scored by Mathys Tel and Jamal Musiala. Augsburg will be wary of this fixture, as they have already lost four games in the Bundesliga this term. Only Bochum have lost more games this term. However, the two wins that they have recorded means that they come into this fixture sitting 13th in the league standings. Victory this weekend could see them rise up into the top half of the standings. Augsburg recovered well last weekend, as they ended a run of three straight defeats with a victory against Werder Bremen. The goal in that success was scored just after the hour mark, as Emedin Demirovic broke the deadlock. However, they will need to raise their game ahead of the visit of the champions this weekend. Augsburg vs Bayern Munich Head to Head Bayern Munich has an excellent away record in this fixture, as they have picked up victories in eight of the previous eleven meetings between the sides in Augsburg. Meanwhile, the hosts have lost their first three home games this term for the first time in Bundesliga history. Augsburg vs Bayern Munich Prediction Bayern’s strong away record in this fixture could be the pivotal factor this weekend. We expect the Bavarian giants to pick up the victory, and inflict a fourth home defeat of the season on Augsburg. Make sure to bet on Augsburg vs Bayern Munich with 22Bet!
Athletic Bilbao will be looking to maintain their fine start to the new La Liga season this weekend, and a victory could move them into the Champions League places. However, Rayo Vallecano will present a stern test, as they look for a third victory in six fixtures. Valencia vs Celta Vigo Prediction: La Liga Match on 17.09.2022 La Liga Preview It has been a fine start to the La Liga season for Athletic Bilbao, as the Spanish giants currently sit sixth in the overall standings. They have won three of the five games that they have played, and they have lost on just one previous occasion this term. Bilbao have scored nine goals in the games that they have played, and they have allowed just two. Bilbao were able to bounce back to winning ways after losing to Espanyol last weekend, as they recorded a big victory on the road against Elche. They were 4-1 winners in that fixture, with Oihan Sancet, Ico Williams and Alejandro Berenguer Remiro all getting themselves on the scoresheet. Rayo Vallecano present a stern test for Bilbao this weekend, as they look to continue their relatively strong start to the new season. The Spanish side currently sits ninth in the overall standings, as they have won two of the five games that they have played. They responded excellently last weekend after losing their previous two fixtures in La Liga. Their most recent win was recorded at home, as they managed to see off Valencia. Vallecano collected a 2-1 win in that fixture, with the eventual winning goal coming in the form of an own goal by Nico Gonzalez. The opening goal in the victory was scored after just five minutes by Isi Palazon. Athletic Bilbao vs Rayo Vallecano Head to Head Bilbao has an excellent scoring record in this fixture, as they have scored at least once in the previous 26 La Liga fixtures between the sides. During that run, they have recorded 14 victories, but have lost on five occasions. Bilbao also has a strong home record in this fixture, as they have claimed victory in four of the previous home matches against Vallecano. Athletic Bilbao vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction This looks set to be an interesting game in La Liga this weekend. However, the strong fancy is for Bilbao to continue their excellent home form against Vallecano. We could see the home side picking up a 2-0 win. Make sure to bet on Athletic Bilbao vs Rayo Vallecano with 22Bet!
Two sides that will be looking to bounce back to winning ways this weekend in La Liga clash at the Mestalla. Valencia and Celta Vigo were both beaten in their most recent league fixtures, and defeat this weekend could drag them closer towards the bottom three. Barcelona vs Elche Prediction: La Liga Match on 17.09.2022 La Liga Preview Both Valencia and Celta Vigo are likely to be disappointed with the start that they have made to the La Liga season this term. The hosts come into this fixture sitting 12th in the standings, while Celta Vigo are just a couple of places higher. However, both will be looking to avoid losing for the second straight game. Valencia has won twice in five games this term, but defeats are creeping into their record, as they have lost three of their previous four fixtures in the Spanish top flight. Scoring goals continues to be a problem for the home side this weekend, as they have hit the back of the net on just seven occasions this term. The home side were beaten in their previous league fixture, as they lost 2-1 against Rayo Vallecano. Valencia’s only goal in that defeat was scored in the 93rd minute by Mouctar Diakhaby. Celta Vigo come into this fixture sitting tenth in the overall standings, and victory for them could lift them up into sixth place this weekend, depending on other results. They will also be looking to bounce back after suffering defeat in their previous fixture, which ended a run of two straight wins. Their latest defeat was a 4-1 loss against Atletico Madrid away from home. Celta’s only goal in that defeat was scored after 71 minutes by Gabri Veiga. However, that was a much more testing fixture than this weekend appears to be. Valencia vs Celta Vigo Head to Head Valencia has a fine recent record in this fixture, as they have picked up wins in the previous three matches that they have played against Celta Vigo. In home fixtures, Valencia also has a very fine record, as they are unbeaten in six, and have won five times during that period. Valencia vs Celta Vigo Prediction Valencia’s record in this fixture is a very strong one, and that could be worth siding with this weekend. Therefore, we could see the home side picking up the victory, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see both teams scoring. Make sure to bet on Valencia vs Celta Vigo with 22Bet!
Barcelona will have the opportunity to move to the top of the La Liga standings on Saturday, as victory against Elche will move them ahead of Real Madrid. Barcelona’s league form at the start of this term has been very strong, as they have picked up four victories on the bounce. Elche come into this fixture still looking for a first win of the season. La Liga Preview These two sides couldn’t be in more contrasting form coming into this fixture. Barcelona are on a strong run of domestic form, as they have won four from five, while Elche are one of two sides in the Spanish top-flight that are still searching for a first victory of the season. The Catalonian giants have home advantage this weekend, as they look to bounce back from their Champions League defeat in Germany in midweek. Barcelona’s last league fixture was a very commanding victory against Cadiz. Frenkie de Jong opened the scoring in that big win, before Robert Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, and Ousmane Dembele completed the scoring. All four of the Barcelona goals in that victory were scored in the second half. This looks set to be a very daunting challenge for Elche this weekend, as they are still looking for their first victory of the new season. Elche has scored just two goals in five fixtures so far this term, and they have allowed 13 goals in the games that they have played. The visitors this weekend were easily beaten in their last league fixture, as they were hammered 4-1 at home by Athletic Bilbao. If they have any chance of picking up anything from this fixture, then they will need to be more resolute in defence. Barcelona vs Elche Head to Head Barcelona’s record in this fixture is incredibly strong, as they have gone 14 without loss against their rivals this weekend. The last win that Elche recorded in this fixture in La Liga came way back in December 1974. Barcelona are also unbeaten in 23 home league fixtures against Elche. Barcelona vs Elche Prediction The stats don’t look good for Elche this weekend, and it looks incredibly hard to give them much of a chance of claiming the points on the road. Therefore, we expect Barcelona to take the points with a commanding advantage in front of their home fans. Make sure to bet on Barcelona vs Elche with 22Bet!
There will be a huge fixture at the bottom of the La Liga standings on Friday evening, as both Real Valladolid and Cadiz will be looking for a victory to move away from the relegation places in the Spanish top flight. Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid Prediction: La Liga Match on 18.09.2022 La Liga Preview It has been a difficult start to the new season for both Real Valladolid and Cadiz in La Liga, as both sides find themselves towards the bottom of the league standings at this very early stage. Both sides will be aware that they will need to change their fortunes, as a run of defeats could see them having too much to do in the second half of the campaign. Valladolid has home advantage this weekend, and they will be optimistic of claiming the victory that they need to move up the league standings. They come into this fixture sitting 17th, as they have won just once from the opening five fixtures of the season. Valladolid were beaten in their last league fixture in Spain, as they lost 2-1 away from home against Girona. The only goal for the away side in that fixture was scored by Monchu after 38 minutes. However, the points were taken by Girona in the final ten minutes. Cadiz come into this fixture as one of two sides that are still looking for a first victory of the new season. They currently sit at the bottom of the standings, as they have lost all five fixtures that they have played to this point. Furthermore, they are yet to score a goal this term, and have allowed 15. Their latest defeat was a 4-0 loss at home against Barcelona. There was a clear gulf between the two sides, as Cadiz failed to register a single shot on target, and had just 29% of the possession. Real Valladolid vs Cadiz Head to Head Valladolid’s record in this fixture is extremely weak, as they have lost their previous eight meetings against Cadiz. The last six matches have all ended in draws. At home, Valladolid has suffered just one defeat in ten La Liga fixtures against Cadiz. Real Valladolid vs Cadiz Prediction Cadiz look miles off the pace in La Liga this season, and that doesn’t bode well for this fixture on Friday. We like Valladolid’s chances of recording a second win of the season, but there may only be one goal between the two sides. Make sure to bet on Real Valladolid vs Cadiz with 22Bet!
The Premier League weekend kicks off on Friday this week, as Aston Villa welcome Southampton to Villa Park. Both sides will be desperate for the victory, as they look to move themselves clear of the relegation places in the English top flight. Chelsea v Liverpool Prediction: Premier League Match on 18.09.2022 Premier League Preview It hasn’t been a great start to the new season for Steven Gerrard, and the pressure is already building on the former Liverpool captain. Villa have won just once in their previous ten league fixtures, and they come into this weekend’s game having lost three of their previous four fixtures. The Villa were at least able to stop the rot in their previous fixture, as they fought back well to take a point off Manchester City. Villa fell behind early in the second half in that fixture, but they showed their fighting qualities to net an equaliser with 15 minutes remaining. Leon Bailey’s goal shows that the players are still fighting for the current boss, but their run of few victories will need to come to an end if the board members are going to stick with Gerrard. Southampton have enjoyed a steady enough start to the new season, as they sit 12th in the overall standings after six rounds of fixtures. The Saints have won twice in the opening weeks of the season, but they have already lost on three occasions. Southampton were beaten in their most recent fixture against Wolves, which meant that they weren’t able to build on the momentum from their victory against Chelsea. The Saints lost 1-0 on the road, with the only goal of the game being scored in the first minute of extra time in the first half. Finding consistency will be key for Ralph Hassenhuttl and his team over the coming months. Aston Villa vs Southampton Head to Head Aston Villa has a fine recent record in this fixture, as they have won two of the previous three league fixtures that they have played against the Saints. Southampton will also be looking to avenge the poor result that they picked up in this fixture last season, as they were hammered 4-0 by the Midlands side. Aston Villa vs Southampton Prediction Villa’s poor run of form is still a very big concern coming into this round of fixtures. Southampton have been marginally more consistent, and we could see them getting a big victory on the road at Villa Park. Make sure to bet on Aston Villa vs Southampton with 22Bet!

Two sides that started Group C in the Europa Conference League with positive results will clash in the second round of fixtures this Thursday. Both Hapoel Beer-Sheva and Villarreal avoided defeat in the opening round of fixtures, with the Spanish giants currently sitting top after claiming victory at home. Istanbul Basaksehir vs Fiorentina Prediction: Conference League Match on 15.09.2022 Europa Conference League Preview Group C got off to a very exciting start in the Europa Conference League last week, with all four sides in action. However, it is Villarreal that currently lead the way in the standings, as the Spanish giants picked up victory in the opening round of fixtures. They were the only side to claim a win on matchday one, as they played out a thrilling match in Spain against Lech Poznan. The Spanish side eventually came out on top in that thrilling fixture, as they claimed a 4-3 success. The winning goal was scored in the 89th minute by Francis Coquelin, as the midfielder was the unlikely hero. Villarreal had come from behind earlier in the fixture, with Samuel Chukwueze scoring, and Alex Baena finding the net on two occasions. Hapoel Beer-Sheva would have been happy with the start that they made to the group stages, as the side from Israel picked up a 0-0 draw away from home against Austria Wien. However, they will be looking to register a victory in the second attempt against the current leaders in Group C this week. The drama wasn’t as high in the Hapoel Beer-Sheva game last week, as neither they nor Wien could break the deadlock. It appeared as through the side from Israel were happy with a point from that fixture, as they sat back throughout the fixture, and failed to register a single shot on target in the 90 minutes. Hapoel Beer-Sheva vs Villarreal Head to Head This will be a first ever competitive meeting between Villarreal and Hapoel Beer-Sheva. Both sides will be looking to gain an advantage in the overall record ahead of the return game at the end of October in Spain. Hapoel Beer-Sheva vs Villarreal Prediction Hapoel Beer-Sheva are likely to play with a similar system as they did last week against Villarreal. However, we find it very hard to see them keeping out the Spanish side this week, as Villarreal has far too much talent in the final third. We could see the away side winning 3-0. Make sure to bet on Hapoel Beer-Sheva vs Villarreal with 22Bet!
Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir will be looking to record a second straight victory at the start of the Europa Conference League campaign this term. However, they will face a fight to achieve that, as Serie A giants Fiorentina are the visitors to Turkey this Thursday. Hapoel Beer-Sheva vs Villarreal Prediction: Conference League Match on 15.09.2022 Europa Conference League Preview It was an exciting start to the Europa Conference League last weekend, and two sides looking to build on reliable starts clash in Turkey this week. Istanbul Basaksehir were the only side to pick up a victory in the opening round of fixtures in Group A, while Fiorentina were held to a shock home draw against RFS. Istanbul Basaksehir certainly hold the advantage in the race for qualification spots in this group courtesy of their opening night win, as they were extremely strong against Scottish side Hearts. The Turkish side were dominant on the road in that fixture, as they claimed a 4-0 success against Hearts. Hasan Ali Kaldirim opened the scoring after 26 minutes, before goals in the second half were added by Youssouf Ndayishimiye, Stefano Okaka and Berkay Ozcan. Fiorentina are likely to still be the favourites to progress from this group, but they will need to perform much better than they did in the opening fixtures in Group A. The Italian giants were held to a shock 1-1 draw on opening night, with RFS snatching a point from the fixture in the final 15 minutes. Fiorentina opened the scoring in that fixture ten minutes into the second half through Antonin Barak. However, they were made to pay for their missed opportunities. In total, the Italian side recorded 32 shots in that opening night fixture, but they hit the target on just nine occasions. Istanbul Basaksehir vs Fiorentina Head to Head This will be the first time that Fiorentina and Istanbul Basaksehir have ever clashed in a competitive fixture. The stakes will be big ahead of the return game between the sides in a few weeks time. Istanbul Basaksehir vs Fiorentina Prediction Cases can be made for both Fiorentina and Istanbul Basaksehir in this fixture this week. However, we like the chances of the Italian side registering a first victory in the Europa Conference League this term. They created more than enough chances in the match last week, and we expect them to be more clinical this week. Make sure to bet on Istanbul Basaksehir vs Fiorentina with 22Bet!
Two sides that started the Europa League group stages with contrasting results will meet on matchday two. Olympiacos were unable to get off to a winning start away from home, while Freiburg currently sit at the top of the Group G standings after claiming victory at home against Qarabag. Sheriff vs Manchester United Prediction: Europa League Match on 15.09.2022 Europa League Preview There will be high stakes for both teams playing in this Group G fixture on Thursday. Olympiacos will be aware that they will need to pick up a first victory to enhance their chances of reaching the next stage, while Freiburg will be looking to continue their strong start to the group stages with a second straight victory. Freiburg currently sit top of the Group G standings at this very early stage, as they were able to get off to a winning start at home last week. That success was picked up against Qarabag, and it instantly put down a marker for their chances of progressing out of this testing looking group. The German side opened the scoring from the penalty spot after just seven minutes at Vincenzo Grilo opened the scoring. The lead was doubled just seven minutes later through Ritsu Doan. Olympiacos will still feel confident that they can progress out of this group, as victory at home this week would put them back on terms with Freiburg. However, they will have to play much better than they did last week. The Greek side were beaten 2-1 on the road by French side Nantes. Olympiacos dragged themselves level five minutes into the second half, but the points were won by Nantes with virtually the last kick of the game in the 93rd minute. Olympiacos vs Freiburg Head to Head Olympiacos and Freiburg will clash for the very first time in a European competition this Thursday. It will also be the first time that Freiburg have taken on a team from Greece. Meanwhile, Olympiacos have lost each of their previous nine fixtures in European competition against club sides from Germany, including home and away fixtures in this competition last term against Eintracht Frankfurt. Olympiacos vs Freiburg Prediction The Olympiacos record against German club sides is extremely pivotal when it comes to picking the winner in this fixture. Therefore, we like the chances of Freiburg sealing a second straight win at the start of the Europa League. Make sure to bet on Olympiacos vs Freiburg with 22Bet!
Manchester United will be looking to recover from their opening night loss in the Europa League on Thursday. The Red Devils clash with Sheriff in Moldova in one of the early games on Thursday, with the hosts looking to record a second straight victory in the competition. Europa League Preview It wasn’t the start to the European campaign that Erik ten Hag would have been looking for with Manchester United, as his much-changed team were beaten at Old Trafford last week by Real Sociedad. There was a strange atmosphere at the Theatre of Dreams, as it was the first English fixture to take place after the announcement that Queen Elizabeth II had passed away. United looked sluggish throughout that fixture, and very rarely looked to threaten the Real Sociedad goal. Cristiano Ronaldo was handed a first start by ten Hag since United’s defeat against Brentford, but the Portuguese superstar was limited to very few chances on goal. Sociedad eventually snatched the win from the penalty spot with half an hour remaining, which means there will be pressure on United in this second fixture in Group E. Sheriff showed just how dangerous they could be in European competition last season, as they famously beat Real Madrid away from home. That run of form on the continent could be set to continue after they were winners on matchday one, and could move clear of the chasing pack with a second straight victory on Thursday. The Moldovan side were extremely strong in their opening fixture, as they hammered Omonia 3-0 away from home. Ibrahim Akanbi Rasheed opened the scoring after two minutes, before further goals were added by Iyayi Believe Atiemwen and Mouhamed Diop. Sheriff vs Manchester United Head to Head This is the first time that Manchester United and Sheriff have clashed in a competitive fixture. Manchester United star Christian Eriksen played in Sheriff’s only previous fixture against an English opponent, as the Moldovan side were beaten twice by Tottenham Hotspur. This will also be the first time United have clashed with a side from Moldova. Sheriff vs Manchester United Prediction It could be difficult to bet against the away side this week, as ten Hag could potentially play his strongest line-up with no league fixture over the coming weekend. For that reason, we could see the Red Devils claiming a 2-0 away success. Make sure to bet on Sheriff vs Manchester United with 22Bet!
We are off to Italy on Wednesday afternoon for the second day of UEFA Champions League fixtures as the continent’s best-loved competition continues. Matchday one on Tuesday threw up some intriguing matches, including PSG’s game against Juventus in Paris, and we have more to get excited about on Wednesday. The big games just keep coming, and here we have Italian side Napoli up against last season’s Champions League and Premier League runners-up Liverpool. The Reds want to go one better than the last term, finishing behind Manchester City in the league and Real Madrid in the Champions League. There is no doubt Jurgen Klopp’s men have been weakened by the exit of star striker Sadio Mane, but the African has been replaced, and fans are excited by what they can expect in the coming campaign. It’s not yet obvious if Liverpool will be good enough to improve on last season’s efforts, but we’ll get a better idea of what they are capable of after seeing this match. Inter vs Bayern Prediction: Champions League Match on 07.09.2022 Napoli is the home side and will be backed by a capacity crowd inside the stadium, with supporters hoping they can play their part in roaring Napoli to success. This will be a tight group, with Ajax and Glasgow Rangers also in the running. The Dutch side is good enough to contest pole position in the group, and the Gers have enough quality to upset some of the favourites, especially at Ibrox. The winner of this match won’t need to worry too much about what goes on in Amsterdam, that’s for sure. Napoli is up against it Napoli was thrilled to be back in the Champions League running thanks to last season’s efforts in Serie A but know the draw could have been a little kinder to them than it was. They have been dropped into a pool with two other giants of European football in, Liverpool and Ajax, while knowing nothing will come for free against Rangers. Their best chance at progressing to the next round comes from being strong at home and trying to take points on the road. This will be their toughest home match of the three scheduled, but they have a chance to catch their opponents cold. Is Napoli good enough to go through to the knockout stages of this competition? It wouldn’t come as the biggest shock in the game if they were to progress by filling one of the top two positions but know a poor result on Wednesday would see them playing catch up from the earliest opportunity. A win, on the other hand, would really set the cat amongst the pigeons and blow the pool wide open, making it a competitive race from the whistle. This will be an exciting 90 minutes of action. Napoli is going great guns in Serie A at this stage and is currently top of the table after five games played. Will they build on that strong start and make history by winning the title? It’s possible, of course, but picking up domestic points will become much more of a challenge when trying to juggle that commitment with the pursuit of glory in the Champions League. Nothing will be decided on Wednesday night in Naples in terms of the group winner, but this game will give fans a few strong clues to work from. Reds aiming for the perfect start This looks certain to be a competitive group and could go right down to the wire, with all four teams having claims on the top two places and spot in knockout football. But there can be no denying the fact it would be realistic to see Liverpool progress as winners of the group. If the Premier League side performs anywhere near their best at this stage, they could wrap things up early and go back to concentrating on climbing the EPL table. They are the early favourites with most respected pundits and fully deserve to be. Despite being experts’ pick to win this Champions League group, things haven’t been going according to plan for Liverpool in the Premier League so far this season, with Jurgen Klopp’s men stuck down in seventh, already six points behind leaders Arsenal, who lost to Manchester United at the weekend....
The UEFA Champions League is back on our televisions, with the top teams in Europe aiming to get off to the best possible start as they bid to win the trophy claimed by Real Madrid last season. There aren’t too many glamour ties at this stage as we embark on week one of the group campaign with a few big names lining up against smaller, lesser-known opponents. But that isn’t the case in Paris, where local team PSG welcomes the giants of Italian football, Juventus, to town. PSG and Juve are amongst the biggest names playing in this season’s Champions League despite Juve failing to win the Serie A title last season as PSG eased to the French Ligue 1 crown. The Parisians know they are involved in a two-horse race to win this Champions League group and can draw first blood by making their home advantage count in this game. There’s no doubt there were easier games out there for PSG and Juventus, but both have a chance to get one over on their rival early. Celtic v Real Madrid prediction: Champions League match on 06.09.2022 Follows of the form don’t have a lot to go on here, with these sides not being regular opponents. It was expected they would clash in the knockout stages of this season’s Champions League, possibly the quarter-finals or semi-finals, and they may meet again this season, but the game has been pulled from the hat early. Which side will be celebrating victory on matchday one? That’s exactly what we tried to find out with our in-depth match preview and predictions. PSG start strong PSG lost their title after dominating French football for a decade, but they roared back last season to regain the crown lost. They are a free-spending club that now has the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar on their books as well as boy wonder Kylian Mbappe. There has been much frustration amongst followers of this football club, with PSG failing to live up to the high expectations of their fans. Every season, PSG are one of the early favourites to lift this trophy and every season, they come up short. Will this season be any different? The Parisians can be found in complete control of Ligue 1 after six games, with an unbeaten record to show for their efforts. PSG boast stats of five wins against one draw with 24 goals scored and only four conceded, claiming 16 points to leave them ahead of nearest rivals Marseille on goal difference with both teams boasting 16 points. PSG won’t get things all their own way this season, and the pressures of playing in this competition coupled with the strain of trying to defend the Ligue 1 title won’t be easy. Will they achieve success on both fronts this year? It’s certainly possible. They warmed up for this home clash against the Old Lady with a simple 3-0 away win over Nantes on Saturday. That was a match they were expected to win at a canter and lived up to expectations on that front, but the level of performance that day was something special, with the points achieved in impressive fashion. The goals that day were scored by Mendes and a Mbappe double, with Messi assisting in both goals for the young attacker. That attacking duo will be key to any success PSG has on game night. Juve come to win The Champions League trophy won’t be decided in this match, but there’s no doubt this is a game that wouldn’t look out of place in the final. PSG and Juventus are both good enough and are high-profile enough to win the Champions League, but for the time being, they must concentrate on passing the first test put to them, and that’s getting out of the group. It won’t matter if they do that as winners or runners up of the pool, but failure to progress would be a hammer blow to either side. Juventus haven’t been at their best in recent seasons, and after dominating Italian football for 10 years, they managed to lose their grip on the division and have slipped down the pecking order. The likes of Inter Milan and AC Milan were left to battle it out for the league trophy in the last two seasons, while Juventus have h...
UEFA Champions League football returns, and we have a mouth-watering tie in Glasgow on Tuesday evening as Scottish Premiership champions Celtic host Spanish La Liga kings Real Madrid. Blancos may be the hot pre-match favourites with most followers of the competition, but week one has a habit of throwing up some strange results. Can Celtic use their home advantage and intimidating atmosphere to catch their opponents cold? The hosts enter with confidence to spare following Saturday’s crushing Old Firm derby win over Rangers at this venue. That was a match sold as a 50/50, but the Bhoys blew away their fierce rivals, winning 4-0 and missing chances that would have made the scoreline even more embarrassing for the blues. The home support played their part in roaring the team to victory, and Ange Postecoglou’s men need the fans in full voice again for this one. PSG v Juventus Prediction: Champions League Match on 06.09.2022 A former champion of European football up against the current holder of the Champions League trophy will make for great viewing, and armchair fans hope this match lives up to expectations. It’s a chance for the teams to target all three points but also put on a show and prove they are amongst the best the sport has to offer. The pair have met twice before, with the stats standing at one win each. Bhoys battered Bears This Champions League opener at home against the current holders of the trophy isn’t the ideal fixture to welcome back a club that has been missing from this stage for a while now. But the game comes at a great time for Celtic, who battered their great rivals Glasgow Rangers in Saturday’s Old Firm Derby at this venue. It had been billed as a 50/50 with a draw looking the most likely outcome, but the Bhoys battered the Bears, claiming all three points to remain top of the league thanks to a 4-0 victory. The opening goal went in early that day, and Celtic went and got a second quickly after they broke the deadlock, putting the game beyond their opponents. Celtic are sitting pretty at the top of the Scottish Premiership, having won the first Old Firm of the season and each of their other matches. They are five points clear of nearest rivals Rangers and are already looking every inch a champion good enough to protect the title they won last year. The club has a real feel-good factor, but how will they perform here? Celtic have a reputation for dominating Scottish football and have done so over much of the last decade. But Europe is a different story, with Postecoglou’s men knocked out of three European competitions last year. They dropped out of the Champions League at the qualifying rounds, weren’t in the Europa League for too long, and then failed to impress in the Europa Conference League. Fans are happy with domestic success but want to see improvement from their club on the continent. Holders are back in business Real Madrid blazed a trail of glory all the way to the final last season, where they defeated Liverpool to lift the trophy, despite being the underdogs heading into that match. Blancos are the tournament’s most successful team, and we find them as one of the strong early favourites to come good and successfully defend their title. They won’t show their hand too early in this group stage, but Madrid knows a win in Glasgow would get them off to the perfect start, setting the club up to secure the pool as early as possible and start planning for the next stage of play. Like their opponents, Madrid is top of their domestic league, in complete control of La Liga after four games. They sit in pole position thanks to four wins in their opening four games to move clear of Barcelona in second place. There is already a two-point cushion between Madrid and Barca, with a competitive campaign expected. Barca is in better shape than they were last season and are expected to throw down a stronger challenge than we saw from them last term. We last saw Real Madrid in action on Saturday when they scored ...
Tottenham will welcome the Champions League back to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when they host Marseille for their first match in Group D on Wednesday at 20:00 GMT. Inter vs Bayern Prediction: Champions League Match on 07.09.2022 Match Preview Can Tottenham Make a Winning Return to the Champions League? Antonio Conte’s men will be looking to continue their good start to the Premier League season when they welcome Marseille to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday. This match comes after their win in the London derby against Fulham, which meant that they have started the season unbeaten in six rounds of fixtures. Conte will seek to ensure that his side are ready for the match and capable of taking all the three points on offer. Tottenham will seek to maintain their compact approach to matches with the priority being on being robust and not giving easy chances and goals to the opposition. This approach has been crucial for the team, especially when coupled with a fine attacking trio of Kane, Son, and Kulusevski. Can Marseille Cause an Upset in the Clash with Tottenham? Marseille are unbeaten in Ligue 1, and they have dropped just two points on their way to 16 points out of the available 18. Igor Tudor will be looking to replicate this domestic form in their European clash with Tottenham in England on Wednesday. Tudor will prepare his team to be ready to face the fast-paced approach and physical challenges that Tottenham are likely to pose. Therefore, Tudor will seek to maintain a solid approach with a medium press concentrating on their half. Shape and structure will be important aspects for Marseille to stop the Tottenham attack. Emphasis will be on having a deep defensive structure to ensure that there are no spaces for the pacey Spurs attacked to exploit. Tudor will then allow his attacking players to express themselves in transitions. Form Guide Tottenham With four wins and two draws in their opening six rounds of Premier League fixtures, Tottenham have collected 14 points out of the available 18. They currently sit third on the table behind league leaders Arsenal (15 points) and Man City (14 points). Spurs have won matches against Southampton (4-1(, Wolves (1-0), Nottingham Forest (0-2), and Fulham (2-1). They have also drawn in two matches against Chelsea (2-2) and West Ham (1-1). After six straight matches in the English Premier League, Tottenham will be shifting their attention to the Champions League for the first time this season; the clash against Marseille will show their progress under Antonio Conte. Marseille In their opening six matches in Ligue 1, Marseille have won five and drawn once. They have hauled 16 points out of the available 18. They currently sit second on the table, level on points with league leaders PSG but trailing them in goal difference. In this run of six wins and draw, Marseille have scored 13 goals while conceding three. This portrays a team that is defensively sound and has an edge in attack as well. Marseille have also kept three clean sheets out of the sic Ligue 1 outings; this is crucial for Tudor, especially when facing a Tottenham side with a sharp and rampant attacking trident. Possible Starting Lineups Tottenham Lloris; C. Romero, E. Dier, C. Lenglet; Emerson, R. Betancur, P. Hojbjerg, R. Sessegnon, D. Kulusevski, H. Kane, H. Son Marseille Lopez; S. Kolasinac, L. Balerdi, C. Mbemba; J. Clauss, J. Veretout, V. Rongier, I. Kabore; Gerson, C. Under; L. Suarez Players to Watch H. Kane The 29-year-old English international has scored five goals in six appearances for Tottenham this season. His storming start to the season has been central to Spurs’ brilliant and competitive beginning of the season and high position on the table.

Real Betis Betis opened the season with a 3-0 win against Elche before beating Mallorca (1-2) and overcoming Osasuna (1-0) even after having German Pezzella sent off in the 73rd minute. Betis have scored six goals while conceding 1. They have also kept two clean sheets. These statistics highlight the balance Pellegrini has established in the Betis team, making them tough to beat but also dangerous in attack. With three wins out of three, Betis have nine points like league leaders Real Madrid, and they are only second on the table due to goal difference. Manuel Pellegrini will be looking for a win that will see them leapfrog Real Madrid to the top of the table and collect three precious points for the season. Possible Starting Lineups Real Madrid Courtois; D. Alaba, A. Rudiger, E. Militao, L. Vazquez; T. Kroos, A. Tchouameni, L. Modric; V. Junior, K. Benzema, F. Valverde Real Betis Silva; A. Ruibal, G. Pezzella, E. Gonzalez, A. Moreno; G. Rodriguez, W. Carvalho; Rodir, N. Fekir, Juanmi; B. Iglesias Players to Watch K. Benzema The 34-year-old French striker has picked from where left off last season. He has nodded three goals in three appearances for Real Madrid already this season. His performances are crucial for Los Blancos. Apart from the goals, Benzema provides a robust work rate, intensity, pressing, and movement that is central to Real Madrid’s ability to create and take chances. Benzema will be important for Real Madrid on Saturday when they take on a disciplined and high-intensity Real Betis side. The striker will be crucial in pressing from the front and taking chances Los Blancos crea...
After the frustrating 1-1 draw in the fierce London derby at the London Stadium midweek, Tottenham will be looking to get back to winning ways when they welcome a resurgent Fulham to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for yet another London derby on Saturday at 15:00 GMT. Chelsea vs West Ham Prediction: Premier League Match on 03.09.2022 Match Preview Can Tottenham Return to Winning Ways and Keep in Touching Distance to the Top of the Table? Antonio Conte will be happy with his side’s unbeaten start to the season; however, he will be frustrated with the two dropped points at the London Stadium. His focus will be on ensuring his side return to winning ways immediately in their Saturday clash with West Londoners Fulham at home. Conte’s emphasis will be on sharpening his attacking players, structure, and intensity to ensure that they can breach the Fulham defense and give Spurs the goals they need. This was especially a problem in the clash with West Ham when Tottenham struggled to get an attacking foothold against a resilient West Ham side. Can Fulham Cause an Upset at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium? With his side unbeaten in three matches in the Premier League, Marco Silva will be looking to retain this run by getting a point(s) at Tottenham Stadium on Saturday. His men possess the work rate, energy, and intensity to cause any team a problem in the league this season. Silva will look to get the best performance from his side as they come up against an unbeaten Tottenham team that also possesses one of the most lethal attacks in the league. Fulham will back themselves to perform optimally and cause Antonio Conte’s side problems at home; they will also trust in their attacking options to cause the Spurs rear guard all manner of problems. Form Guide Tottenham Tottenham have started the season impressively; they are unbeaten after five rounds of fixtures in the Premier League. Antonio Conte’s men have won three times while drawing twice; they have collected 11 points from the available 15. Spurs currently sit third on the Premier League table, just four points behind early league leaders Arsenal. In the five outings in the league, Tottenham have scored 10 goals while they have conceded four in the process. They have also kept two clean sheets in their wins against Wolves (1-0) and Nottingham Forest (0-2). They have dropped points so far this season away in London derbies against Chelsea (2-2) and West Ham (1-1). Antonio Conte will be looking to turn around his side’s form in London derbies starting with the clash against Fulham on Saturday. Fulham Fulham have had an encouraging start to life in the Premier League after their promotion. Marco Silva has overseen two wins, two draws, and one defeat. Fulham showed their intent and quality when they opened the season with a thrilling 2-2 draw against last year’s runners-up Liverpool at Craven Cottage. Marco Silva’s side followed this up with a resilient 0-0 draw at Wolves before winning an exciting match against Brantford 3-2. Their first loss of the season came at the Emirates Stadium, losing 3-2 against the league leaders. Arsenal grabbed the winner in the 86th minute through Gabriel Magalhaes. In their latest outing in the league, Fulham overcame a tough Brighton side 2-1 and recorded their second win of the season ahead of their travel to face Tottenham on Saturday. Possible Starting Lineups Tottenham Lloris; B. Davies, E. Dier, D. Sanchez; I. Perisic, Y. Bissouma, P. Hojbjerg, Emerson; H. Son, D. Kulusevski; H. Kane Fulham Leno; K. Tete, T. Adarabioyo, T. Ream, A. Robinson; H. Reed, J. Palhinha’ B. Reid, A. Pereira, N. Kebano; A. Mitrovic Players to Watch H. Kane Kane is Tottenham’s talisman going forward. His creative play, link-up, and goal scoring are important tools in the Antonio Conte arsenal. The 29-year-old English international has grabbed 4 goals in 5 appearances this season already. He also has another goal in the EFL Cup. Although Kane’s goal-scoring is crucial, his link-u...
Coming off the back of a surprising 2-1 loss away to Southampton in mid-week, Chelsea will be looking to make amends when they host their London rivals West Ham in a tough derby match at Stamford Bridge in a re-scheduled clash on Saturday at 15:00 GMT. Match Preview Can Chelsea Bounce back to Winning Ways? Thomas Tuchel’s side have had a poor start to the season going by their standards; they have won just twice in five outings, having also lost twice and drew once. The German tactician will be looking to change this run of form; especially given they surprisingly lost 2-1 at Southampton in mid-week. The Blues will not want to lose further ground to the sides in Champions League places early on. Tuchel will look to bed in some of his new signings, including Wesley Fofana from Leicester, ahead of the clash with West Ham. With a tough examination expected from David Moyes’ side. Tuchel will be looking for intensity, work rate, and relentless from his side as they look to bounce back to winning ways. Can West Ham their Two-Match Unbeaten Run Going? David Moye’s side have begun to turn their alarming form around in their last two matches. After winning away to Aston Villa, they held in-form Tottenham to a 1-1 draw. David Moyes is gearing up for yet another London derby with the expectation of a tough match at Stamford Bridge. However, given Chelsea’s recent form, the Hammers will feel like there is a chance they can take something from the clash in West London. Moyes will focus on solidity and making his side hard to beat and horrible to play against. He will do this by fielding a robust team full of energy and compactness, while also retaining the pace needed to trouble Chelsea’s rearguard. Form Guide Chelsea Chelsea opened the season with a narrow and somewhat fortuitous 1-0 win at Everton before drawing 2-2 against their bitter rivals Tottenham in a hit-tempered and thrilling derby. Chelsea were then convincingly beaten 3-0 away to Leeds before displaying resilience to 2-1 at home to Leicester after Conor Gallagher was sent off in the 28th minute with the game at 0-0. In their latest outing in the Premier League, Chelsea were surprised by a young Southampton side, who came from behind to win 2-1 and compound the Blues’ poor start to the season. With two wins, a draw, and two defeats, Tuchel will be looking to instill some form of consistency into his Chelsea side ahead of their clash with West Ham on Saturday. West Ham David Moyes’ side started the season with a tough home clash with Manchester City, which ended 0-2 in favor of the visitors. West Ham followed this defeat with another reverse away to newly-promoted Nottingham Forest, with the match ending 1-0 in favor of Forest. Moyes subsequently saw his side lose 0-2 to right at the London Stadium before winning their first match of the season in a tight 1-0 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park. In between these matches, West ham played in the Europa Conference play-off, winning both matches with an aggregate score of 6-1 against Viborg. In their latest match, West Ham held in-form Tottenham to a 1-1 draw, which continued their positive turn of form in the league. Possible Starting Lineups Chelsea Mendy; W. Fofana, T. Silva, K. Koulibaly; R. James, M. Kovacic, Jorginho, M. Mount, M. Cucurella; K. Havertz, R. Sterling West Ham Fabianski; V. Coufal, T. Kehrer, K. Zouma, A. Cresswell; D. Rice, T. Soucek’ J. Bowen, S. Benrahma, P. Fornals; M. Antonio Players to Watch R. Sterling Sterling opened his account with a brace in Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Leicester. He also nodded the opener in the 2-1 defeat at Southampton, which took his tally to three in five appearances for Chelsea. The English international has been given a massive role to lead the Chelsea attack, and he is relishing this responsibility. His performances have progressively improved and he is forming a better relationship with his fellow attacking players. Sterling will be important for the Blues when they play agai...
Huge action takes place in Serie A on Sunday evening, as Lazio and Napoli clash in the Italian top-flight. It has been a steady start to the campaign for both sides, as both come into this fixture having not suffered a league defeat this term. However, a victory for either this weekend could be massive towards achieving their goals for the season. Aston Villa vs Manchester City Prediction: Premier League Match on 03.09.2022 Serie A Preview Lazio and Napoli is regularly a fixture that neutrals look forward to when the Serie A fixtures are released. The two rivals meet at an early stage this term, and both also come into this fixture defending unbeaten records. Napoli are higher in the league standings at present, as they sit third in the Serie A table. They have won two of their opening four fixtures, and have been held to draws in the other two fixtures. Over their opening four league games of the season, the Italian side has scored a league-high ten goals, and have conceded just three times. However, they will be looking to get back to winning ways this weekend, as they were held to a draw in their most recent fixture. That draw was picked up at home against Lecce, with Elif Elmas rescuing a point. Napoli were dominant in that fixture, but they couldn’t register more than a single goal from 19 efforts. Lazio should come into this fixture this weekend in good confidence after winning two of their opening four fixtures. They currently sit sixth in the league standings at this early stage, but victory against Napoli this weekend could lift them up to the top of the league standings depending on other results. Like Napoli, Lazio were held to a draw in their most recent fixture, as they played out a 1-1 tie against Sampdoria on Wednesday. Lazio would have been disappointed with that result, as they conceded a 92nd minute equaliser. They went ahead after 21 minutes through Ciro Immobile, but they couldn’t register a second goal despite having 56% of the possession. Lazio vs Napoli Head to Head Napoli has a strong recent record in this fixture, as they have won the previous three fixtures that they have played against Lazio. Their most recent win was a 2-1 away success in February. Lazio’s latest win against Napoli came back in December 2020. Lazio vs Napoli Prediction This could be an entertaining fixture in Serie A this weekend, and cases can be made for both sides. However, the slight preference is for Napoli to get the win as they have been in strong form this season, and have a solid record against Lazio. Make sure to bet on Lazio vs Napoli with 22Bet!
Manchester City will meet the side that they beat on the final day of last season to wrap up the Premier League title on Saturday. Aston Villa come into the fixture in the bottom three, and the pressure on Steven Gerrard is mounting. Nantes vs PSG Prediction: Ligue 1 Match on 03.09.2022 Premier League Preview Premier League action takes place at Villa Park this weekend, as Manchester City travel to the West Midlands to take on Aston Villa. City couldn’t come into this fixture in much better form, as they are sitting second in the league standings after picking up victories in four of their previous five fixtures. City’s front line has been ruthless in the previous two fixtures, as they have scored ten goals in their most recent fixtures. Erling Haaland’s form will certainly be the biggest point of concern for Villa, as the former Borussia Dortmund striker has scored back-to-back hat tricks in the league. His most recent treble came in a stunning 6-0 home win against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday. Haaland scored all three of his goals in the opening half, before further goals were added by Joao Cancelo and Julian Alvarez, with the latter scoring twice in the final half an hour. The pressure is continuing to mount on Steven Gerrard ahead of this league fixture, as Aston Villa come into this fixture at the weekend sitting in the bottom three. Villa has picked up just a single victory from five league fixtures, and they have allowed nine goals in the fixtures that they have played. The side from the Midlands have lost each of their previous three fixtures in the Premier League, with their latest defeat coming on the road against Arsenal. Villa never looked likely to get anything out of that fixture, as they went 2-0 down after 77 minutes. Douglas Luiz did scored a late consolation, but it was too little too late for the Midlands side. Aston Villa vs Manchester City Head to Head Aston Villa are winless in their previous eleven fixtures against Manchester City, losing on ten occasions. They have scored just five goals during that period, and have conceded on 22 occasions. The most recent win for Villa in this fixture came back in September 2013, with the Midlands side winning 3-2 away from home. Aston Villa vs Manchester City Prediction Villa has a poor record against reigning champions, having lost 15 of their previous 16 fixtures. We can’t see that run improving this weekend given the form that City have been in. It could be another big win for the away side, and we could see Haaland scoring at least twice. Make sure to bet on Aston Villa vs Manchester City with 22Bet!
PSG return to league action this weekend, as they take on Nantes away from home. PSG have enjoyed a strong start to the campaign, and they will be hoping to extend their advantage at the summit with a fifth win in six games this term. Ligue 1 Preview PSG’s start to the new league season has been a strong one, and they already sit at the top of the league standings. The defending champions have won four of their opening five league fixtures, and returned to winning ways with victory over Toulouse in midweek. It was a comfortable outing for the Parisians on that occasion, as they stormed ahead into a 3-0 lead. The scoring was opening in the first half by Neymar, as the Brazilian struck seven minutes from half time. The other two goals were scored in the second half, with Kylian Mbappe adding the second five minutes into the second half. Juan Bernat completed the scoring in the final stages with his first goal of the campaign. PSG will be hoping to continue their winning streak this weekend, and the dominance that they enjoyed on Wednesday could be a key factor. Nantes will have home advantage this weekend, as they look to continue their strong start to the season. The French side has only won once in five fixtures this season, with their only success coming last weekend. Their first league win of the season was achieved against Toulouse, but they failed to back up that success with a second straight victory against Strasbourg. Nantes fell behind in the early stages of that fixture, as Habib Diallo opened the scoring for the home side. However, Nantes struck back with just five minutes remaining, as Mostafa Mohamed levelled the scores. But, they will need to start much stronger this weekend against a talented PSG outfit. Nantes vs PSG Head to Head This will be the 25th meeting between the sides since 2008. Nantes have picked up just three wins during that time, while PSG has recorded 21 victories. The latest meeting came in the Super Cup in July, as PSG were commanding 4-0 winners. However, Nantes did win this exact fixture 3-1 last season. Nantes vs PSG Prediction It looks hard to see past PSG picking up the win this weekend, as their attacking players have already clicked into gear at this very early stage. We could once again see Mbappe getting on the scoresheet, as the Parisians win 3-0 away from home. Make sure to bet on Nantes vs PSG with 22Bet!
It has been a successful return to La Liga for Almeria, and they will be looking to maintain their solid start to the new campaign on Monday evening when they take on Real Valladolid. The home side will be looking for a first win of the new season. La Liga Preview It had been a long wait for Almeria, as they hadn’t played in the Spanish top-flight since 2015 before the start of this season. However, they have certainly been making up for lost time over the course of the season so far, as they have won once, lost once and drawn once in their opening three fixtures. Their start to the new season currently sees them sit tenth in the standings, and that would likely be a dream finish for the club come the end of the season. Almeria have scored four goals and conceded the same number in the opening three league games of the season, and their first win since their return arrived last weekend. The win was achieved against Sevilla, as they came back from 1-0 down to take maximum points. Largie Ramazani scored the equalising goal just before the half-time break, while Umar Sadiq netted the winner ten minutes into the second half. Real Valladolid are still searching for their first win of the season, as they come into this fixture sitting 19th in the league standings. They have lost two of their first three fixtures, and have allowed a league-high of eight goals against already this campaign. A second defeat of the new season was suffered at the Nou Camp last weekend, as Barcelona were easy 4-0 winners against Valladolid. The travelling side looked to play on the counter, as they mustered just 32% of the possession. However, they will need to play more on the front foot this week. Real Valladolid vs Almeria Head to Head This will be a first top-flight meeting between the sides since 2014, which was won 1-0 by Valladolid. However, they did meet on two occasions in the Segunda Division last term, with Almeria winning 3-1 at home and taking a 2-2 draw in the away game. Real Valladolid vs Almeria Prediction This will be an interesting fixture between the two newly promoted sides, but the preference is for the away side given the way that they have started the new season. However, both teams to score could also be a good selection, as this would have been a winning bet in the previous four meetings. Make sure to bet on Real Valladolid vs Almeria with 22Bet!
Borussia Dortmund are in Bundesliga action on Friday evening, as they look to record a fourth win in five league fixtures. However, it looks set to be a testing fixture, as Hoffenheim have won their previous three since defeat on the opening day of the season. Bayer Leverkusen vs Freiburg Prediction: Bundesliga Match on 03.09.2022 Bundesliga Preview Two sides that are currently towards the top of the Bundesliga standings will collide on Friday evening in the German top-flight. It hasn’t been the worst start to the new season for Borussia Dortmund, as they have won three of their opening four league fixtures. However, they will be looking to get back to winning ways at home after suffering defeat in their previous home fixture. That defeat was suffered at the hands of Werder Bremen, but there was an immediate response by Dortmund, as they returned to winning ways on the road last weekend. That success was recorded in Berlin against Hertha, with Dortmund running out 1-0 winners. The only goal of the game was scored after half an hour, with Anthony Modeste firing home for his new team. Hoffenheim could be a side to watch in the Bundesliga this term, as they certainly look like a team that could potentially challenge for a European finish. The German side has won three of their opening four league fixtures, and have scored eight goals. However, defensively they will need to improve after allowing five goals, which is the most of any side in the top half. They did sure up defensively in their most recent fixture, as they claimed a hard-fought 1-0 win at home against Augsburg. The only goal in the victory was scored five minutes before the half time break, as Dennis Geiger broke the deadlock. However, their defence will be put to a greater test in Dortmund. Borussia Dortmund vs Hoffenheim Head to Head Dortmund have a fine recent record in this fixture, as they have won three of the previous four meetings. That includes victories in the previous two fixtures between the sides. Both victories last season were secured by 3-2 scorelines, with the latest coming in January. Borussia Dortmund vs Hoffenheim Goals are normally assured when these two sides meet, as both teams have scored in the previous three meetings. However, Dortmund should have enough quality in the final third to take advantage of Hoffenheim’s defensive vulnerabilities, but we could still see the travelling side scoring.\ Make sure to bet on Borussia Dortmund vs Hoffenheim with 22Bet!
It has been a shaky start to the new season for Bayer Leverkusen, as they sit down in 13th place after four rounds of fixtures. However, they will be hoping for a big home win on Saturday, as they take on the in-form Freiburg. Bundesliga Preview Bayer Leverkusen haven’t started the new Bundesliga season as many would have been hoping, and their game this weekend could already be entering must-win territory if they have ambitions of finishing in a European place. The German side come into this fixture six points off the top four, and have been beaten in three of their opening four league fixtures. Leverkusen should have newfound confidence coming into this fixture, as they finally managed to record a first win of the new season in their latest fixture. It was a fine display on the road last week against Mainz to collect a first victory, as they secured a 3-0 success. Exequiel Palacios opened the scoring, before Jeremie Frimpong scored twice before half time. However, they will be without Piero Hincapie and Mitchel Bakker for this fixture after both were sent off last weekend. Freiburg have been one of the early stories of the season in the Bundesliga, as they have started very quickly. They come into this fixture sitting third in the league standings, and have won three of their first four league fixtures this term. They have scored seven times already this term, and have allowed just three goals. Freiburg recorded a second straight victory in the league last weekend, as they managed to edge to a 1-0 success at home against Bochum. Vincenzo Grifo scored the winning goal for the home side in that fixture, which saw them dominate throughout and end the match with 29 shots. Bayer Leverkusen vs Freiburg Head to Head Freiburg has picked up two victories from the previous three games that they have played against Leverkusen, which includes an away success back in February 2021. However, the latest fixture between the sides did end with a home win for Leverkusen in May 2022. Bayer Leverkusen vs Freiburg Prediction Bayer Leverkusen returned to something near their best form last weekend. However, Freiburg look very confident at this stage of the campaign, and they could be backed to pick up a third straight win this weekend. We could see them winning to nil this weekend in the Bundesliga, just as they did on a trip to Leverkusen in 2012. Make sure to bet on Bayer Leverkusen vs Freiburg with 22Bet!
Manchester United will be looking for a third straight victory in the Premier League on Thursday, as they travel to the King Power Stadium to take on Leicester City. However, the hosts will desperately be looking to get a first win of the season. Atalanta vs Torino Prediction: Serie A Match on 01.09.2022 Premier League Preview It has been far from a perfect start to the new season for Leicester City, and they come into the fifth game of the campaign still looking for a first win of the season. The Foxes currently sit bottom of the Premier League standings, having picked up just a point from the possible 12 available. There is certainly a sense that everything is not well behind the scenes at the King Power, and that has been echoed by Brendan Rodgers’s annoyance with the lack of activity in the transfer market. It looks set to get worst for the coach too, as Wesley Fofana’s move to Chelsea looks to be edging ever closer. The Foxes were beaten by the Blues in their previous league fixture, despite having a man advantage for over 60 minutes. Manchester United’s position in the league standings has certainly improved over the past couple of weeks, as the Red Devils could potentially move into the European places with victory in the East Midlands on Thursday. United have won their previous two league fixtures, and will be looking for a third straight win on Thursday. It wasn’t the best of displays by United in their previous fixture, but a Bruno Fernandes goal was the difference against Southampton. United’s chances could also be helped by the fact that they have a dominant record in league fixtures played on a Thursday night, as they have won ten of their previous 17. Leicester City vs Manchester United Head to Head Leicester have managed to get the better of United in the recent meetings between the sides, as they are unbeaten in their previous four against the Red Devils. That includes the 4-2 victory that they picked up in this fixture last season. However, United have scored at least once in each of the previous 26 league meetings between the sides. Leicester City vs Manchester United Prediction Leicester’s misery could be set to continue on Thursday, as their poor run at the start of the season continues. We expect United to pick up maximum points and record a third straight league win, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see both teams register a goal. Make sure to bet on Leicester City vs Manchester United with 22Bet!
Atalanta and Torino are two of the sides in Serie A that still boast unbeaten records coming into the fourth matchday. However, something will have to give when the two rivals clash on Thursday evening. Leicester City vs Manchester United Prediction: Premier League Match on 01.09.2022 Serie A Preview It has been a solid start to the new season for Atalanta, as they have won twice in the opening three games. That start to the new campaign sees them sit fourth in the league standings, and they could potentially go top this week should results go their way. Atalanta needed to show all their battling qualities in their previous fixture, as they edged towards a 1-0 victory against Verona away from home. The only goal of the game was scored five minutes into the second half by Teun Koopmeiners. However, the Italian side were very good value for that victory, as they registered seven shots on target and dominated the possession throughout that fixture on the road. Torino could potentially be one of the dark horses in Serie A this term, as they have enjoyed a very solid start to the new campaign. The Italian side sit level on points with Atalanta after three rounds of fixtures, but are just a place lower courtesy of goal difference. Torino picked up a second league win in three fixtures on Saturday afternoon, as they claimed a 2-1 victory away from home against newly promoted Cremonese. Nikola Vlasic opened the scoring after just 17 minutes for the traveling side, before Nemanja Radonjic doubled the advantage 20 minutes into the second half. Cremonese threatened to get back in the fixture, but their goal ten minutes from time ultimately turned out to be nothing more than a consolation. Atalanta vs Torino Head to Head The overall record between these sides is very close, as Atalanta have recorded nine victory in the previous 25 meetings, while Torino have recorded ten wins. There have also been six draws between the two Italian sides. However, Atalanta are unbeaten in the previous three fixtures against Torino, which includes a stunning 4-4 draw between the two sides from last season. Atalanta vs Torino Prediction Given how well that these two teams have started the new season, this should be an exciting fixture in Serie A. There have been two draws in the previous three matches, and we could see that trend continuing. A draw with both teams to score would be our pick. Make sure to bet on Atalanta vs Torino with 22Bet!
Athletic Bilbao will be looking to maintain their strong start to the 2022-23 season this weekend, as they host Espanyol. As for the visitors, they will be looking for a first victory of the new campaign to move away from the relegation places. Valencia vs Getafe Prediction: La Liga Match on 04.09.2022 La Liga Preview Athletic Bilbao certainly look more than capable of challenging for a European place this term, based on the performances that we have seen from them already this campaign. They currently sit fourth in the La Liga standings after winning two of their opening three league fixtures. Bilbao are one of two sides in the Spanish top-flight yet to concede a goal in the league, and they have found the back of the net on five occasions. Bilbao maintained their excellent start to the new season on Monday evening, as they picked up a dominant 4-0 win on the road against Cadiz. Gorka Guruzeta scored twice in that victory, while Inaki Williams and Alejandro Berenguer Remiro also found the target. Espanyol certainly would have been disappointed with their performances at the start of the new season, as they find themselves down in 16th place in the league standings. They are yet to win a league fixture in three attempts this term, and have conceded seven goals already, which is the second worst defensive record in the Spanish top-flight. After drawing on the opening day, Espanyol have lost each of their previous two fixtures in La Liga. The most recent of those defeats came at home against Real Madrid. They looked to have got a draw from the reigning European champions, but Madrid scored twice in the dying embers of the game. Joselu scored Espanyol’s goal, while Benjamin Lecomte was sent off in the 96th minute, which means he will be missing for this fixture. Athletic Bilbao vs Espanyol Head to Head Athletic Bilbao are unbeaten in five matches against Espanyol. However, they have recorded just two victories during that run. One of those victories came in this exact fixture last season, as they won 2-1. However, three of the previous five matches have ended in 1-1 draws. Athletic Bilbao vs Espanyol Prediction Espanyol’s poor start to the new season makes it very hard to see them knocking off an opponent that are yet to concede a goal this term. The preference is for the home side to pick up a third straight win, and we could see them scoring over 2.5 goals. Make sure to bet on Athletic Bilbao vs Espanyol with 22Bet!
Two sides that have started the new La Liga season in disappointing form clash at the Mestalla on Sunday. Valencia will be looking for a second victory of the new campaign, while Getafe will be looking for a first success to move them out of the relegation places at this early stage. Athletic Bilbao vs Espanyol Prediction: La Liga Match on 04.09.2022 La Liga Preview Valencia will be looking to bounce back to winning ways in La Liga this weekend after suffering back-to-back defeats. The season started well for them after a 1-0 opening day win against Girona. However, back-to-back 1-0 defeats have soured the mood slightly. The latest defeat was suffered at home against Atletico Madrid on Monday, as Antoine Griezmann scored the only goal of the game. However, there looks set to be a newfound belief when it comes to scoring goals this term, as Valencia have recently announced the signing of former PSG and Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani. However, it’s unlikely that the Uruguayan will be fit enough to start against Getafe this weekend. It already looks like it may be another long season in La Liga for Getafe, as they are yet to pick up a victory this term. Getafe has scored just once in their opening three league fixtures, and they have already conceded six times. After heavy defeats in their opening two league fixtures against Atletico Madrid and Girona, they finally managed to get a first point on the board in their latest fixture. That point was picked up against Villarreal, as the two sides played out a 0-0 draw. However, it is becoming glaringly obvious that they are very light at the top of the pitch. They managed just two shots on target in that draw, and created very little throughout. Valencia vs Getafe Head to Head The previous meeting between the two sides ended in a 0-0 draw in March. Valencia won the last home match that they played against Getafe, while Getafe has picked up two victories in the previous five meetings. However, the travelling side this weekend are without an away victory against Valencia since April 2018. Valencia vs Getafe Prediction Scoring goals appears to be a problem for both of these sides, which means that this fixture is likely to be a very cagey match. We can’t see any more than two goals being scored, while a chance could also be taken on a 0-0 draw for the second straight fixture between the sides. Make sure to bet on Valencia vs Getafe with 22Bet!
Two sides that have started the Ligue 1 season with contrasting fortunes meet in the French top-flight on Wednesday. Nice are still searching for a first league win of the season, while Lille could move into the Champions League positions with a victory in front of their home fans. Juventus vs Spezia Prediction: Serie A Match on 31.08.2022 Ligue 1 Preview Lille have enjoyed a strong start to the new French season, but any talk of a second league title in three seasons remains premature. The French side have won twice in their opening four league games, and come into this fixture in good confidence after picking up maximum points in their previous fixture. Lille were commanding winners in their previous fixture, as they beat Ajaccio 3-1 away from home. Yusuf Yazici opened the scoring for the travelling side after 17 minutes, before Jonathan Bamba extended their advantage with a goal two minutes before the half time break. Tiago Djalo wrapped up the scoring for Lille with just over 20 minutes remaining, before Ajaccio pulled back a late consolation goal. It hasn’t been the start to the season that Nice would have been hoping for, as the French side currently sits in the relegation places after suffering two defeats in their opening four league fixtures. They are still waiting for a first league win of the season, and have scored just two goals in the fixtures that they have played before this fixture. A second league defeat in a row was suffered on Sunday, as Nice were hammered 3-0 at home by Marseille. Nice managed to record just two shots on target in that defeat, and were blown away inside the opening 45 minutes. Alexis Sanchez scored twice for the away side, while another former Arsenal player added the other goal, as Nuno Tavares opened his account for the French side. Lille vs Nice Head to Head Lille have lost just once in six previous fixtures against Nice. That defeat came in their home fixture against their opponents this week last season. However, Lille bounced back to win the return fixture 3-1 in May. Lille vs Nice Prediction Lille’s strong record in this fixture and the fact that they have started the new campaign in fine form ensure that they make a compelling case on Wednesday. It could be a third straight defeat for Nice, as they still look to find the right balance within their new look team for the 2022-23 season. Make sure to bet on Lille vs Nice with 22Bet!
The pressure on Massimiliano Allegri is already mounting at this early stage of the season, as Juventus haven’t got their new campaign off to the best start. They will be looking for just a second win of the campaign on Wednesday, as they take on Spezia. Lille vs Nice Prediction: Ligue 1 Match on 31.08.2022 Serie A Preview Juventus come into this fixture on Wednesday sitting eighth in the Serie A standings. They are yet to hit top form this term, as they have won just once in their opening fixtures. That win came on the opening day of the season against Sassuolo, and they have been held in each of their previous two fixtures. The frustrations of fans was evident following their latest fixture, as they played out a 1-1 home draw against AS Roma. Paulo Dybala came back to haunt his old team, as the former Juventus star set up Roma’s equaliser for Tammy Abraham. The Old Lady had gone into the lead early in the fixture, as Dusan Vlahovic opened the scoring after just two minutes. However, Allegri will be needing a positive result this week against Spezia to get back on track. Spezia’s aim this season will be to finish in the middle of the league standings, and they have already shown that they look capable of that finish this term. They have won once, lost once and drawn once in their opening three games, as they sit 13th in the league standings. They showed excellent character in their previous fixture to earn a 2-2 draw against Sassuolo. Simeone Bastoni scored Spezia’s first goal in the draw, while M’Bala Nzola had given the home side a lead before the half time break. However, they were forced to settle for a point as Sassuolo struck back early in the second half. Spezia will be without Albin Ekdal for the fixture on Wednesday, as he was sent off with nine minutes remaining on Saturday. Juventus vs Spezia Head to Head The Old Lady have picked up four wins from the previous four fixtures between the two sides. They have scored at least three goals in three of the previous matches, with the only exception coming in the latest meeting between the sides, as Juventus won 1-0 at the Allianz Stadium in March. Juventus vs Spezia Prediction Juventus has a strong record in this fixture, and it could be maintained with another win on Wednesday. However, it may not be a vintage display from the Old Lady, as they have struggled throughout the games that they have played this term. Make sure to bet on Juventus vs Spezia with 22Bet!
Arsenal’s fantastic start to the new Premier League season sees them set the early pace in the English top-flight. They will be looking to record a fifth straight victory to start the season on Wednesday, as they take on Steven Gerrard’s struggling Aston Villa. Liverpool vs Newcastle United Prediction: Premier League Match on 31.08.2022 Premier League Preview It has been a sensational start to the new Premier League season for Arsenal, and the Gunners are now being tipped as a potential dark horse to challenge for the league title this season. The Gunners have won all four league fixtures that they have played this term, making them the only side to boast a 100% record. Mikel Arteta would have been delighted with his Arsenal team’s character over the weekend, as they came back from their first setback of the campaign. Fulham looked to have his team’s number at the Emirates and took the lead just before the hour mark. However, they struck back in fine fashion. Martin Odegaard scored to put Arsenal level, before Gabriel scored the winning goal for the Gunners with four minutes of the 90 remaining. The pressure is building on Steven Gerrard coming into two daunting fixtures over the next seven days. After this trip to Arsenal, the Villa come up against Manchester City on the weekend. Two big defeats could spell the end for the former Liverpool captain. The Villa were beaten for the second league game running on Sunday, as they lost 1-0 against West Ham United at Villa Park. Villa looked void of ideas in front of their home fans, as they failed to create much in the way of scoring opportunities, and the eventual winning goal was scored by Pablo Fornals with 16 minutes remaining. Fans will be hoping that something changes ahead of this visit to the Emirates. Arsenal vs Aston Villa Head to Head Arsenal have picked up wins in eight of the previous eleven fixtures between the two sides. The most recent win for the Villa came in February 2021, but they have picked up just four wins from their previous 13 visits to the Emirates. Arsenal vs Aston Villa Prediction Goals could be on the agenda this weekend, as at least three goals have been scored in the previous ten meetings between the sides at the Emirates. However, we can’t see past Arsenal on Wednesday, and we expect them to win with both teams to score. Make sure to bet on Arsenal vs Aston Villa with 22Bet!
Liverpool recorded a first league victory of the 2022-23 season in some style on Saturday, and they will be looking to build that momentum as Newcastle United are the visitors to Anfield on Wednesday. Premier League Preview It may have been a slow start to the new season for Liverpool, but they bounced back to winning ways for the first time this campaign in excellent style on Saturday, as they matched the biggest ever win in Premier League history with a 9-0 success against Bournemouth. It was a sensational display by Jurgen Klopp’s side, as they raced into a 5-0 half time lead following goals from Luis Diaz, Harvey Elliott, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk. Things only got better for the Reds in the second half, as Firmino and Diaz scored their second goals of the game. Further goals in the dominant success were added by an own goal by Chris Mepham, while Fabio Carvalho scored his first goal for the Reds. It’s unlikely that they will have it as easy against the Magpies this week. Newcastle United’s steady start to the new season continued over the weekend, but Eddie Howe may be becoming slightly concerned at the number of games that they are drawing at present. The Toon have won just once in four fixtures this season, and have been held to three draws. However, they have one of the best defensive records in the division, as they have conceded just four goals this term. Newcastle struck late in their last Premier League fixture to rescue a point against Wolves, as Allan Saint-Maximum scored a stunning volley as the match approached injury time. Ruben Neves had given Wolves the lead after just 40 minutes, but the Toon were good value for a point. Liverpool vs Newcastle United Head to Head The Reds boast an excellent record in this fixture, as they are unbeaten in their previous 26 home fixtures against Newcastle. The latest win for Newcastle came in April 1994, while Liverpool have scored in every league meeting between the sides at Anfield since that defeat. Liverpool vs Newcastle United Prediction Liverpool’s dominant record in this fixture is hard to ignore, and given the performance that they produced on Saturday, they look back to their best. We could see the Reds taking all three points on Wednesday, and a 2-0 win looks like the most likely scoreline. Make sure to bet on Liverpool vs Newcastle United with 22Bet!
Newly promoted Cremonese face a huge challenge in Serie A this week, as they take on Inter Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday. However, this could be a good time to play Simeone Inzaghi’s side, as they are yet to hit their best form so far this term. AC Milan v Inter Milan Prediction: Serie A Match on 03.09.2022 Serie A Preview It hasn’t been the start to the season that Inter Milan would have been hoping for, as they come into the midweek round of fixtures in Serie A sitting in seventh place. They suffered a first defeat of the new season last time out, and Inzaghi will be expecting an immediate response from his side. Inter were outclassed on the road against Lazio in their previous fixture, and conceded two goals in the final 15 minutes to lose 3-1. However, Inter may have considered themselves slightly unlucky in that fixture, as they dominated the ball and created no shortage of clear goalscoring opportunities. While many may consider this to be a good time to face Inter, it could also be the worst time, as they will be looking to put down a marker against their newly promoted rivals. Cremonese would have been aware of the scale of their goal this term before a ball was kicked, but their wait for a first victory in Serie A has now stretched three games. They have conceded the third-most goals in the Italian top-flight, but they do appear to have a solid enough scoring record to suggest that they could ask questions of Inter. The Italian side has already scored three goals in the three games that they have played, but they will need to tighten up ahead of this fixture against the former champions. They were slightly unfortunate in their previous fixture, as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Torino. Inter Milan vs Cremonese Head to Head This will be the first meeting between the two sides in Serie A. The only previous fixture between the two sides in the previous 20 years came in a friendly in July 2011, with Inter Milan running out 4-1 victors away from home. Inter Milan vs Cremonese Prediction This will be a historic fixture for Cremonese, but they will certainly need to sharpen up defensively if they are to have any chance of taking anything out of the game. We could see both teams scoring in the fixture, but it’s very hard to see past Inter. Make sure to bet on Inter Milan vs Cremonese with 22Bet!
Midweek Premier League action takes place at St Mary’s on Tuesday, as Chelsea look to for a second straight win. Meanwhile, Southampton will be looking to bounce back from a recent setback, as they were beaten in their previous home fixture by Manchester United. Premier League Preview The pressure on Thomas Tuchel eased slightly over the weekend, as the Blues bounced back after failing to win their previous two league fixtures. It wasn’t the most convincing display, but Chelsea showed great character to record maximum points against Leicester City despite being reduced to ten men. Conor Gallagher was sent off the Blues after just 28 minutes, but Chelsea still raced into a 2-0 lead after just 20 minutes of the second half. Raheem Sterling scored his first two goals for the Blues to pull his new side clear, before Harvey Barnes scored with just over 20 minutes remaining to leave the Blues hanging on. However, Tuchel certainly would have been pleased to see Sterling get off the mark for his new side, and that could open the floodgates for more goals. It hasn’t been a vintage start to the new season for Ralph Hassenhuttl’s new look Southampton side, as they have lost twice in the four games that they have played. The Saints were handed a second defeat of the campaign over the weekend, as Bruno Fernandes scored the only goal for Manchester United. Southampton had their chances to get themselves level in that fixture, and believed that they should have had a penalty in the second half. However, they will need to find a killer instinct in front of goal over the coming weeks, as the spurred a number of glorious chances against the Red Devils. Southampton vs Chelsea Head to Head Southampton have a poor record against the Blues, as they have picked up just two wins from their previous 18 league fixtures against Chelsea. Chelsea have also scored at least once in each of their previous 17 fixtures against the Saints, which includes a 6-0 win in this fixture last season. Southampton vs Chelsea Prediction Chelsea’s strong record in this fixture looks set to be the decisive factor. The Saints are struggling for goals already this season, and while the Blues are still yet to find their best form in front of goal, we can’t see them having too many issues at St Mary’s on Tuesday. Make sure to bet on Southampton vs Chelsea with 22Bet!
Welcome to another round of fixtures from the competitive, exciting, unpredictable Italian Serie A 2022/23 campaign. Followers of the top flight of Italian football will be treated to another busy round of fixtures over the weekend, following on from a dramatic round in midweek. There are some blockbuster fixtures on the schedule this week, but none come close to threatening the main event as the top draw. AC Milan host Inter Milan in an eagerly anticipated Milan Derby. These teams have provided football fans with some memorable matches over the years, and with both expected to challenge for the Serie A title this season, the scene is set for another classic. The winner of the points from this weekend’s derby will improve their chances of winning the title, but there’s nothing more than three points on the line here. AC and Inter both have the players, cash, support and experience to win the league, but they know how important a win over their city rivals is to supporters. This will be a fascinating and highly charged 90 minutes of action. Everton v Liverpool Prediction: Premier League Match on 03.09.2022 These sides met four times last season – two more than usual – with a pair of matches in Serie A and the other two in the Coppa Italia. The season’s first game ended in a 1-1 draw before AC Milan won 2-1 when playing as the away team. The rivals met twice in the Coppa Italia, with the first game ending goalless, then Inter ran riot, easing to a 3-0 victory. What happens here? Read on as we run lay out our pre-match preview and predictions. Hosts remain unbeaten AC Milan entered the week unbeaten in their opening three games of the season to take up a position with the early leaders. They were one of the pre-season picks with pundits to challenge for and possibly win the Serie A title again, while the board would love to see the team make it to the later stages of European competition. That would certainly help to bankroll the title charge, but Europe should be seen as an added adventure. Success in Italy is the club’s number one goal this year. We saw AC Milan defeat Bologna a week ago at this venue, with the final score reading 2-0 to the home team. They worked hard to get their noses in front last Saturday and got the reward for their efforts with a goal from da Conceicao Leao on 21 minutes. That helped get the fans on side, and AC Milan built on that early advantage to add a second goal just before the hour, with former Arsenal and Chelsea man Giroud putting the game to bed. AC Milan was last seen in action travelling to Sassuolo on Tuesday evening as the Serie A made the most of a rare off-week from UEFA with no games played in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. The schedule is tighter than usual this year as teams race to get through their matches before the long winter break when Serie A will close for more than a month to make way for the World Cup in Qatar. Inter suffer early defeat Inter Milan was the team to beat this season in the opinion of many respected pundits, ex-players and followers of Italian football. Most expect Inter Milan to finish comfortably inside the top four this term, with supporters hoping to cheer their favourites all the way to a title win. There can be no doubting the fact the players are good enough and the fanbase big enough to challenge, but the team must be lucky with injuries if they are to mount a serious challenge. Milan got off to the best possible start when collecting six points from their opening two games. They began the season with an eye-catching victory over Lecce away from home, snatching a hard-fought but thoroughly deserved three points courtesy of a 2-1 scoreline. The goals that day were scored by Lukaku inside two minutes, and then Dumfries deep into stoppage time at the end of the contest. It was closer than most expected, but Milan got the win and ensured they were up with the leaders. Do they have the character to stay there? Inter won their se...
Followers of the English Premier League have two matches on the Sunday schedule as the big games just keep on coming. It was a midweek of thrills and spills, with all teams in action on Tuesday and Wednesday before diving into another hectic weekend fixture list. Most games were played on Saturday, but it’s quality over quantity on Sunday. Brighton aims to build on their strong start when hosting struggling Leicester City from 14:00 before Man Utd and Arsenal meet at Old Trafford. These teams have endured very different starts to the season, with Arsenal racing to the head of the pack, and they entered this week in pole position, looking down on their rivals. Man Utd may enjoy the home advantage for this game, but they haven’t had things anywhere near as good as their opponents, with the Red Devils already off the pace. It took this new look United team to find its feet, but fans hope they are now firing on all cylinders. If they are, this will be a memorable 90 minutes. These teams have treated football fans to some fantastic games over the years, and armchair supporters planning to watch Sunday’s renewal live on television will be hoping this return lives up to the hype. We last saw the Red Devils and Gunners play at Old Trafford last December in what was a five-goal thriller, with United winning 3-2. Arsenal got their revenge at the Emirates in April when running out convincing 3-1 winners. Nine goals in two games? We’ll settle for more of the same. Red Devils off the mark It was a disastrous start to the season for Man Utd’s new regime as they slumped to defeat in each of their opening two games, dropping into the relegation zone. If fans thought last season was disappointing, they were preparing for an even more difficult campaign this year after those two matches. It looked like the players would take time to settle, the fans would have to be patient, and a top-four finish was the best they could hope for this year. How things have changed. After losing their first two matches, Man Utd bounced back in style to win each of their next two games with the points gained sending them shooting up the table. They finally got off the mark under the new regime with a hard-fought but thoroughly deserved three points at home against Liverpool, a match the Reds were expected to win with a bit to spare. Jurgen Klopp’s Champions League runners-up were the pre-match favourites but returned to Merseyside empty-handed following a 2-1 win. Sancho and Rashford scored the goals that day before Salah netted what proved to be a consolation. With the scent of victory in their nostrils, this Man Utd team looked re-invigorated, and they made it two wins on the spin when beating Southampton 1-0 last weekend. St Mary’s Stadium isn’t an easy place to go and win a game of football at this level, and United was pushed hard by their opponents but eventually won the day thanks to a goal from Fernandes early in the second half. The bare result suggests a tight match, and it was competitive, but there was no doubting the deserved winner. Gunners aiming high Arsenal – like their opponents – are something of a sleeping giant in the Premier League. They are former champions of the division, but there is a generation of paying fans inside the Emirates who have never seen their club win the title. Will all that change this season under manager and former player Mikel Arteta? The Spaniard’s appointment was strange; it looked like he might be sacked on more than one occasion, but the board stood by their man, and they finally appear to be getting the results for that loyalty. Arsenal has barely put a foot wrong so far this season, and they entered the week sitting pretty in pole position boasting a 100% record. Arsenal won each of their opening four fixtures, scoring 11 goals while conceding just three. The dozen points claimed placed them on top, ahead of Man City, Tottenham and Brighton, who were the other three unbeaten sides after a month of action. Will ...
This weekend marks the return of action from the Spanish La Liga, with round four fast approaching. Followers have some fascinating matches to look forward to, with the best coming from Seville, where Barcelona take on the locals. This match will be shown live to a global audience in the millions, and viewers are expecting a memorable 90 minutes packed with plenty of goals and even more talking points. Here we have two big names from Spanish football going head to head with three vital points on the line. The winner of this match will push themselves up the league table, increasing their chances of challenging Real Madrid for the championship trophy. The loser of this game will slip down the league table but certainly won’t be out of the running. There’s all to play for here, with both teams having little to lose. Everton v Liverpool Prediction: Premier League Match on 03.09.2022 Sevilla and Barcelona met twice last season in La Liga, with both games being extremely close, ending in one draw at this venue followed by a narrow win for Barca at the Camp Nou. It is always a competitive occasion when these rivals are involved, with one team failing to find the net in four of the last five renewals. The most recent game played produced a 1-0 win for Barcelona back in April of this year. Pedri scored the winning goal in 72 minutes Sevilla are slow starters There was a buzz around Sevilla heading into this season as the club was expected to challenge on all fronts, including pushing for domestic success and a place in European competition for next season. The locals have the players, fanbase and cash to achieve this, but they have failed to convince in the opening weekends of the season. Sevilla isn’t known for being notoriously slow starters, but that has been the case this year, and their league standing is much lower than fans would have expected, even at this early stage. After three games played of the 2022/23 LA Liga season, Sevilla can be found down in 15th position with just five sides currently worse off. Their form so far shows no wins, one draw and a pair of defeats with three goals scored and five conceded. The point gained means Sevilla is level with second from bottom of the pile Real Valladolid with Cadiz holding the rest of the division upright while they struggle to put a point on the board. The locals prepare for this match with results showing lose-draw-lose, an opening run that threw up more questions than answers for the club’s fans. That first win of the season is becoming increasingly important to Sevilla, and its fans or they could be in danger of falling off the pace, slipping down the pecking order further. That’s something everyone connected to Sevilla must work to avoid, and much better is needed than we saw from them in the previous game when losing 2-1 away to Almeria. That was a match they were favourites to win but didn’t deserve the victory. Back-to-back wins for Barca Barcelona is expected to challenge for the La Liga title this season and improve on their recent efforts in the UEFA Champions League. Fans of one of the world’s biggest and most famous clubs want to see their beloved teams firing on all cylinders once again, mixing it with the top teams and winning esteemed honours. There is a buzz about the team again, and it’s expected this season will mark the return of Barcelona following their short fall from grace. The locals have seven points on the board from a possible nine after two wins and a draw in their opening three matches. Real Madrid and Real Betis boast maximum points and share the lead, with Blancos having a superior goal difference. Barcelona is next in the running, placed in third with eight goals scored and just one conceded, placing them level on points with Villarreal in fourth. A top-four finish is the least Barcelona fans expect this season, but most want to see their club get much closer to Madrid than they did last season, keeping pace with the early leaders before impro...
West Ham welcome the in-form Tottenham to the London Stadium for a London Derby in this important English Premier League fixture on Wednesday at 19:45 GMT. Antonio Conte’s side will be looking to sustain their good early season form as they seek to challenge at the top end of the table, whereas David Moyes’ West Ham will be focused on turning their form around, which has them marooned at the bottom of the league table. Everton v Liverpool Prediction: Premier League Match on 03.09.2022 Match Preview Can West Ham Banish their Poor Start with a Morale-Boosting Derby-Day Victory? David Moyes would have been surprised at how poor his side have been early on in the season. He will also be confident that their will turn the corner sooner rather than later. Tottenham coming to town provides a perfect opportunity for the Hammers to be motivated, to be in sync with the London Stadium fans, and deliver a performance that will spark their season to life. Tactically, Moyes will focus on solidity and fast transitions to both deny Spurs’ runners space in behind while posing an attacking threat when they win possession back. Can Tottenham Sustain their Good Form by Winning in the Derby? With two wins and a draw from their opening three fixtures in the league this season, Antonio Conte will be content with his new-look Spurs side. However, he will be wary of going to the London Stadium to face a team that has underperformed so far this season. Tottenham cannot slacken because they will be facing a team that have been well below their standard at the beginning of the season. Conte will focus on maintaining the intensity and energy levels in their performance in what is expected to be a feisty atmosphere in a derby. Outfighting West Ham will be a necessity for Tottenham to get anything from this match. Form Guide West Ham David Moyes’ men have lost the opening three matches of the English Premier League. The daunting opening weekend match against Manchester City at the London Stadium ended in a 2-0 win for the visitors. The second match of West Ham’s season ended in a disappointing and surprising 1-0 loss to the newly promoted Nottingham Forest. This capped a second match in which the Hammers failed to score. In the third match, West Ham lost 2-0 at home against Brighton. This made it a run of three matches, five goals conceded, and zero goals scored. In between these matches, West Ham beat Viborg 3-1 at home and 3-0 away from home to qualify from the Europa Conference League play-off and into the group stages. Tottenham The opening weekend of the new English Premier League season had Spurs coming from a goal down to win 4-1 against Southampton. Antonio Conte’s men traveled to Stamford Bridge in their second match, where they salvaged a point at the death in a thrilling 2-2 result. Spurs bounced back to winning ways with a tight 1-0 win over an impressive Wolves side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Antonio Conte will be looking to bolster his side’s chances to compete at the top half of the table by winning at the London Stadium against West Ham. Possible Starting Lineups West Ham Fabianski; V. Coufal, K. Zouma, T. Kehrer, A. Cresswell; T. Soucek, D. Rice; J. Bowen, P. Fornals, S. Benrahma; M. Antonio Tottenham Lloris; B. Davies, E. Dier, C. Romero; R. Sessegnon, R. Betancur, P. Hojbjerg, Emerson; H. Son, D. Kulusevski; H. Kane Players to Watch M. Antonio The striker has had a tough start to this season, which reflects the struggles of the entire team in front of the goal. However, his hard-running and high-intensity approach is a crucial asset for West Ham. Antonio also provides a welcome outlet when the Hammers want to overcome a press with the long out-ball. His relationship with other West Ham players and his aerial threat also provide important aspects for Moyes’ attack. Antonio will be crucial for West Ham’s chances of getting something from the derby. H. Son The pacey forward has been a revelation for Spurs this season. His relations...
The first Merseyside Derby of the new season comes from Goodison Park on Saturday from 12:30 GMT. This match will be played before a capacity crowd with millions more armchair supporters following the action on television and live streaming apps. This is one of the greatest derbies in English football and one of the most popular on the planet. The red and blue halves of the city have served up some memorable contests over the years, and fans hope this renewal lives up to the pre-match hype. But which team will land the points and boost their chances of challenging for the title? The Reds and Blues met twice last season in the EPL, with Liverpool winning on both occasions, scoring six goals against one of their rivals. You can have your say on the winner of this game at 22bet, but before you do, it’s advisable to read our expert preview. Our team of English football content writers have researched the form of Liverpool and Everton, and checked the predictions of respected industry insiders before making our final predictions. Toffees suffer a sticky start There was a lot of hype surrounding Everton’s chances of challenging for one of the prize places in the Premier League this season. The club have been hit-and-miss in recent campaigns, signing big-name players and making all the right noises in pre-season, only to fall flat when things start to get competitive. Followers of the Toffees want to see their team find the consistency needed to mix it with the league’s top six to eight teams. It has been a familiar story for Everton in the opening few weeks of the season with results not going their way. They spent much of the last term slipping down the table and then fighting against the danger of relegation, and, unfortunately for supporters, the team has fallen into that groove again this season. With four games on the board, we find Everton down in the drop zone, placed 18th with just two points taken from the first dozen available to them. Things must improve fast. The locals lost their first two games of the season, dropping into the bottom three alongside fellow strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City. No club is without a point, with the Foxes on one and Wolves on two, which shows this year will be competitive at both ends of the EPL. Everton has managed a draw in their last two games, and everyone connected to the club will hope that improvement is a sign of things to come. Another slow start Liverpool came agonisingly close to dethroning Premier League champions Manchester City last season, ending within touching distance of the light blues after pushing them hard in the campaign’s second half. At the finish line, Jurgen Klopp and his backroom staff looked back at a poor start as the reason they missed out on the league with Liverpool stumbling out of the blocks last year, and they have done the same this term, suffering a less than impressive opening month. After four games played, we find Liverpool with five points on the board thanks to one win, two draws and a defeat, scoring 13 goals but conceding five in the process. Their unimpressive points tally at this stage means last season’s Champions League runners-up are just three points better than their rivals in the relegation zone, putting pressure on the visitors at Goodison Park. Lose this Merseyside Derby, and Liverpool’s season would go from bad to worse. They were seen last weekend beating Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield to record the club’s first win of the season and in some style. It was a bit of an embarrassment for English football to see the Cherries hammered by such a score, but the result reflected just how dominant Liverpool was in that match with seven different goal scorers. It’s unlikely we will see anything close to a repeat performance here, but fans in the away section would be happy with any victory, regardless of how it’s achieved. Back-to-back wins would catapult Liverpool up the table and towards the major places. Everton v Liverpool...
Last season’s Italian champions are in action on Saturday at the San Siro this weekend, as AC Milan look to bounce back from the draw that they picked up last weekend. Bologna are yet to win this term, but a lot of confidence could be built from a famous success in Milan. Juventus v Roma Prediction: Serie A Match on 27.08.2022 Serie A Preview It always appeared to be a tall order for AC Milan to retain their Serie A title this season, but the minimum goal would be to finish the season in a Champions League place. They have started the new season relatively well, as they have picked up four points from a possible six. Milan were winners on the opening day of the season, as they hammered Udinese 4-2 at the San Siro. However, they weren’t able to record a second straight win at the start of the campaign, as they could only pick up a point against Atalanta last weekend. Atalanta went ahead in the first half of that fixture, but Milan managed to regain their composure as the match progressed. They finally netted their equalising goal with just over 20 minutes remaining, as Ismael Bennacer broke the Atalanta resistance. It hasn’t been the start to the season that Bologna would have been hoping for, as they are still looking for a first victory of the campaign. They have picked up just one point from their opening two games, and they have already allowed three goals against. However, they bounced back from defeat on the opening day against Lazio last weekend, as they picked up a draw against Verona. Marko Arnautovic opened the scoring for Bologna after 20 minutes, but Verona fought back before the break. There would be disappointment in the second half, as Riccardo Orsolini was sent off for Bologna. AC Milan vs Bologna Head to Head Milan has a very good record in this fixture, as the Italian giants have picked up 18 wins from the previous 26 matches between the two sides. Bologna could certainly take confidence from the previous meeting between the two sides, as they secured a first draw at the San Siro since 2012. AC Milan vs Bologna Prediction Milan’s start to the new season has been relatively strong, and we find it challenging to see past them getting maximum points on Saturday. However, it’s unlikely to be a high-scoring game, as we could see a single goal separating the sides. Make sure to bet on AC Milan vs Bologna with 22Bet!
The pressure on Erik ten Hag and his Manchester United side was lifted with a famous home success against Liverpool earlier in the week. However, they will be looking to continue that form with a second straight Premier League success on Saturday, as they travel to St Mary’s to take on Southampton. Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction: Premier League Match on 28.08.2022 Premier League Preview What a difference a week makes in football. Both Manchester United and Southampton would have gone into the previous round of fixtures anxious about their upcoming matches, but both now come into this fixture with heightened confidence after recent wins. Southampton have been tipped by many to suffer relegation this term, but the Saints produced an excellent showing last time out to pick up a first victory of the new season. It was an inspired change by Ralph Hassenhuttl to bring on Che Adams with the Saints a goal down, but the forward made all the difference, as he scored twice in the final half an hour to seal the points for Southampton against Leicester City. Credit was also given to his opposite number this weekend, as Erik ten Hag adopted a perfect game plan to beat Liverpool on Monday night. He made the bold decision to leave out both Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire, but those decisions were vindicated with a 2-1 success. Jadon Sancho scored a brilliant opener for the Red Devils, while Marcus Rashford rattled home his first goal since January to give United a 2-0 lead. Backing up that result will now be the key for United, as they will likely need to play more on the front foot and not on the counter attack against the Saints this weekend. Southampton vs Manchester United Head to Head United has an excellent record against the Saints, as they are unbeaten in the previous 12 fixtures between the sides. During that time, the Red Devils have picked up five wins and seven draws. Meanwhile, United are unbeaten on their previous eleven visits to St Mary’s since their last defeat on the south coast in August 2003. Southampton vs Manchester United Prediction Southampton’s home record will be a concern, as they have lost five of their previous seven at St Mary’s. United’s away record also isn’t great, as they have lost their previous seven. However, we could see United building on the momentum that their win against Liverpool created this weekend, and we could see ten Hag recording a second straight win with a 2-0 success.

Real Madrid have started the new season in excellent form as they look to retain their La Liga title. Espanyol are the hosts for this fixture in the Spanish top-flight this weekend, as they look for a first victory at the third attempt this term. PSG vs Monaco Prediction: Ligue 1 Match on 28.08.2022 La Liga Preview Real Madrid have made a fast start to their title defence in Spain, as Carlo Ancelotti looks to bring the La Liga title back to the club. Madrid will need to find a new balance within the squad after losing Casemiro to Manchester United during the summer transfer window, which means a number of the younger players will be given an opportunity to shine. Real Madrid picked up a second victory to start the new season last weekend, as they easily beat Celta Vigo 4-1 on the road. Karim Benzema opened the scoring from the penalty spot after 14 minutes, before Celta levelled with their own penalty just ten minutes later. However, Madrid still managed to go into the break with the lead, as Luka Modric found the net. Further goals were added in the second half through Vinicius Jr and Federico Valverde. Espanyol’s goal this term will likely be to survive in La Liga. However, they come into this fixture still looking for a first victory of the season. They have already allowed four goals in the two games that they have played, which means that they will need to tighten up defensively ahead of the visit of the European champions. Their first home match of the new season didn’t go to plan, as they were beaten 2-0 by Rayo Vallecano. Both sides lost players to red cards in the opening half, with Sergi Gomez sent off for Espanyol. However, it was Vallecano that responded better to their sending off, as Isi Palazon and Pathe Ciss scored the goals in the win. Espanyol vs Real Madrid Head to Head Real Madrid boast an extremely dominant record in this fixture, as they have won 24 of the previous 29 meetings between the sides. During that period, Madrid has averaged 2.5 goals per match, while Espanyol have averaged just 0.4. Espanyol vs Real Madrid Prediction It looks hard to bet against Real Madrid maintaining their perfect record in La Liga this weekend. We could see the travelling side securing a 3-1 victory, with Benzema once again getting on the scoresheet. Make sure to bet on Espanyol vs Real Madrid with 22Bet!
After a perfect start to their season with three wins out of three and sitting at the top of Ligue 1, PSG will host Monaco at the Parc des Princes on Sunday at 19:45GMT. Monaco will be looking to bounce back from the heavy 4-1 defeat against Lens and to steady their season, which has been a stop-start early on. Match Preview Can PSG Continue its Stellar Early-Season Form? Christophe Galtier will be encouraged by PSG’s storming start to the new season and defense of their title. The focus when they face Monaco will be on maintaining their threat going forward, which has resulted in a whopping 21 goals from their first four matches of the season. Galtier understands that as long as his attacking is in good form, PSG will have a chance of winning games and taking three points. However, after conceding three goals in the last two matches against Montpellier and LOSC, Galtier will be working on his structure to tighten the rear guard ahead of the clash with Monaco. Can Monaco Bounce Back to Winning Ways with an Upset against the Champions? Monaco have had a bad start to their season; they have collected four points from the available nine. They were also eliminated from the Champions League qualifying third round 4-3 on aggregate by PSV. Philippe Clement will focus on their leaking defensive set-up, which has seen them concede in their last five competitive matches in Ligue 1 (3) and the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round (2). Clement will also seek to bolster the work rate, intensity, and energy within the team to enhance their pressing game; this will be important when his men face the quality of PSG at the Parc des Princes. Form Guide PSG Christophe Galtier has started life at Parc des Princes very well; he has overseen four competitive victories, 21 goals scored, and just three conceded. PSG have had a storming start to the season with three straight victories, plundered 17 goals in Ligue 1, and conceded 3. They sit at the top of the table, two points ahead of second and third-placed Lens and Marseille respectively. Galtier also oversaw the lifting of the Trophee des Champions in a 4-0 triumph over Nantes in a curtain raiser for the Ligue 1 season. The focus of the Parisians will be to continue their good form in Sunday’s clash with Monaco and retain or extend their advantage at the top of Ligue 1. Monaco Philippe Clement’s men have won just once in their last five competitive outings in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers and Ligue 1. After opening the season with a 2-1 win against Strasbourg, Monaco managed a 1-1 draw against Rennes before losing 1-4 against Lens last Saturday. In the Champions League qualifier third round against PSV, Monaco held PSV to a 1-1 draw at the Stade Louis II before losing 2-3 away from home and getting eliminated 4-3 on aggregate. Philippe Clement will be looking to turn around the form of his side when they face arguably the toughest away examination of the season at the Parc des Princes against PSG. Possible Starting Lineups PSG Donnarumma; P. Kimpembe, Marquinhos, S. Ramos; N. Mendes, M. Verratti, Vitinha, A. Hakimi; Neymar, L. Messi; K. Mbappe Monaco Nubel; Vanderson, A. Disasi, B. Badiashile, C. Henrique; K. Diatta, E. Matazo, J. Lucas, M. Takumi; B. Embolo, W. Ben Yedder Players to Watch Neymar The 30-year-old Brazilian international has had a stellar start to his Ligue 1 campaign; he has scored five goals already in the league while also grabbing two in the Trophee des Champions. His fine form has benefitted PSG as they have outscored everyone in the league and retained their 100 percent start to the season. Neymar will be crucial for Galtier and his men as they look to bolster their stranglehold of the top of the Ligue 1 table when facing Monaco on Sunday at the Parc des Princes. B. Embolo The 25-year-old Switzerland international has already grabbed one goal in three appearances for Monaco this season. The versatile forward is a crucial cog for Monaco’s attack. Clement has p...
After dropping two points in their opening match of the season, Barcelona bounced back with a 4-1 win away to Real Sociedad. Xavi Hernandez’s men will be looking to make it two back-to-back wins in La Liga when they host Real Valladolid on Sunday at the Camp Nou at 18:30 GMT. Getafe vs Villarreal Prediction: La Liga Match on 28.08.2022 Match Preview Can Barcelona make it two wins in a Row in La Liga? Fresh from holding Manchester City to a 3-3 draw in a friendly at the Camp Nou, the Blaugrana will host Valladolid on Sunday looking to make it back-to-back wins in La Liga as they look to step up their season and challenge at the top of the table. This match comes as Xavi integrates most of his new signings into the team; therefore, attention will be on making sure there is a balance between the new signings introduced into the team and their ability to perform. Xavi will also be looking to get the first win in front of the home crowd, which makes the clash with Valladolid important. Can Valladolid Cause an Upset at the Camp Nou? Valladolid will be looking for their first win of the season; they have started their campaign with a draw and a loss, which means they have just a point out of the available six. The Valladolid manager, Pacheta, will be looking on working on his defense, which has conceded four goals in two outings in La Liga already. The defense will especially be important coming up against a revamped Barcelona attack that is boasting the services of Robert Lewandowski. Pacheta will also seek to sharpen his attack, which has scored just a solitary goal in two outings in the league. Form Guide Barcelona Barcelona managed a blank in their opening match of the season against Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou, with the match ending in a 0-0 stalemate. Barcelona’s misery was compounded when Sergio Busquets was sent off in the 93rd minute of a tough match. Xavi’s men had to respond after dropping two points in a match they were expected to win. They responded emphatically away from home in a 4-1 win against Real Sociedad. The Blaugrana had to come back from behind, after conceding the Alexander Isak in the 6th minute. Goals from Robert Lewandowski (a brace), Ousmane Dembele, and Ansu Fati helped seal an emphatic win. Real Valladolid Valladolid opened the season with an emphatic defeat at home to Villarreal. They conceded in the 49th minute (Nicolas Jackson) and an Alex Baena brace (81st and 90th minutes). Their second match, away at Sevilla, ended in a respectable 1-1 draw. After taking the lead in the 80th minute through Anuar Mohamed Tuhami, Valladolid could not hold on for the win, conceding a Karim Rekik goal in the 88th minute. Both teams had a player sent off in the 88th minute, with Valladolid’s Jawad El Yamiq and Sevilla’s Marcos Akuna both seeing red. Possible Starting Lineups Barcelona ter Stegen; E. Garcia, A. Christensen; R. Araujo; Gavi, F. de Jong; A. Balde, F. Torres, Pedri, O. Dembele; R. Lewandowski Real Valladolid Asenjo; S. Escudero, J. Yamiq, J. Sanchez, L. Perez; K. Perez, R. Mesa, A. Aguado; Anuar, S. Guardiola, I. Sanchez Players to Watch R. Lewandowski The 34-year-old Polish striker has already grabbed 2 goals in La Liga in two outings for Barcelona. He has acclimatized to life in La Liga and Barcelona quickly which bodes well for the Blaugrana. The striker is the lynchpin for Xavi’s new-look team; he offers presence upfront, movement, intensity, and lethal finishing. Lewandowski will be crucial for Barcelona when they take on Valladolid on Sunday; his connection with Barcelona’s other attackers and wide players has been crucial, and it will be central in creating and taking chances on Sunday. Anuar Anuar scored the goal that earned Valladolid a vital point at Sevilla. His work rate and intensity are crucial for Valladolid. His work down the wide areas in attack and defense is central to the way Pacheta likes his team to be set up and play. He will be central to the defense and organization of the team a...
It will be top versus bottom on Sunday when Getafe who are at the basement of La Liga host the side setting the pace at the top of the league heading into match-day three Villarreal at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez Stadium at 16:30 GMT. Villarreal will be looking to retain the 100% start to the season, whereas the hosts Getafe will be looking to win their first match of the season as they fight to fend off relegation fears. Match Preview Can Getafe get their First Points of the Season? Getafe will be looking to win their first match of the season and get their first points on board on the third time of asking. After conceding three goals in each of their two matches against Atletico Madrid and Girona, Quique Sánchez Flores will be looking to avoid the same fate when his men face high-flying Villarreal on Sunday. Flores will look to tighten their defensive structure and shape to ensure that Villarreal do not have space to attack down the flanks and in behind. A compact approach will be crucial to give Getafe a chance to get their first point(s) this season. Can Villarreal Maintain their 100% Record on Match-Day Three? Unai Emery will be satisfied with his side’s start to this season, with two wins, five goals scored, and two clean sheets. Villarreal will look to replicate this form when they travel to face Getafe on Sunday, in a bid to take three points and retain their position at the top of La Liga. Emery’s focus will be on maintaining the prevailing balance between his side’s defensive structure and their attack, which has resulted in their current flying start to the season. However, Emery will be worried by his side’s midweek showing in the Europa Conference League play-off against Hajduk Split, which they won 4-2. Villarreal were uncharacteristically open to conceding the two goals. He will be looking to fix any structural or personnel issues the team faced last Thursday. Form Guide Getafe Getafe began the season with a home match against Atletico Madrid, which ended in a 0-3 defeat with the goals scored by Alvaro Morata (15th and 59th minutes) and Antoine Griezman (75th minute). In the second match against Girona, Getafe lost 3-1, with Girona’s goals scored by Cristhian Stuani (42nd minute) and Valentin Castellanos (64th minute), whereas Domingos Duarte scored an own goal in the 47th minute. Getafe scored their solitary goal through Enes Unal in the 73rd minute. The lack of goals will worry Flores, whereas the fact that they have conceded six goals in two matches will also be worrying. The manager will look to arrest this form and turn it around to bolster their chances of survival in La Liga this season. Villarreal Villarreal have won their last three matches, including two in La Liga and one in the Europa Conference League play-off first leg. In their opening La Liga fixture, Unai Emery’s men ran out 3-0 winners against Valladolid. In their second clash with Atletico Madrid, Villarreal turned a dominant performance into a 2-0 win away to Atletico. The clean sheets in these two matches will be essential for the team as they seek to maintain their early momentum in La Liga into the rest of the season. Possible Starting Lineups Getafe Soria; F. Angileri, D. Duarte, S. Mitrovic, Djene, J. Iglesias; N. Maksimovic, M. Arambarri, C. Alena; B. Mayoral, C. Unal Villarreal Rulli; Afonso, P. Torres, R. Albiol, J. Foyth; G. Lo Celso, D. Parejo, E. Capoue, Y. Pino; N. Jackson, G. Moreno Players to Watch C. Unal The 25-year-old Turkish international forward has already scored Getafe’s first goal this season, in the 3-1 defeat against Girona. However, the Turkish striker will be crucial for Getafe as they seek to turn their form around and fight for points, starting with the clash with Villarreal on Sunday. Coming up against the league leaders, Getafe will need to be defensively organized and robust; but they will also need an attacking threat going forward. Unal will offer them pace, penetration, and a goal threat. G. Moreno Moreno ...
There will be pressure on Steven Gerrard as Aston Villa return to Premier League action on Sunday. The Villa sit 13th in the league standings at this early stage, but the pressure may be on West Ham United, who are still looking for a first goal and point of the season. Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction: Premier League Match on 28.08.2022 Premier League Preview Two teams that are already under pressure to pick up wins clash at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon, as Aston Villa and West Ham United are both looking for valuable wins. Villa will have home advantage this weekend, but Steven Gerrard may already be beginning to feel the pressure from the fans. The side from the West Midland shave lost two of their opening three games, and have conceded six goals. A first victory of the season was achieved in their previous home fixture, but they were well beaten by Crystal Palace in their previous fixture. Palace ran out 3-1 winners, despite the Villa opening the scoring after five minutes through Ollie Watkins. The Eagles scored twice in the final half an hour to seal their first win of the season, while even an EFL Cup win over Bolton couldn’t ease the pressure on Gerrard in midweek. It has been a very tough start to the new season for David Moyes and his West Ham side, as they sit bottom of the Premier League standings. They are the only team in the league yet to score a goal this term, while they have conceded five times in the three games that they have played. After losses to Manchester City and Nottingham Forest in the first two league games, the Hammers were easily beaten by Brighton last time out. A first win could help ease the pressure on Moyes and his team, before a tricky run of fixtures against Tottenham and Chelsea over the next seven days. Aston Villa vs West Ham Head to Head West Ham boast a very impressive record in this fixture over the past five years, as they have won five times in the previous seven meetings. That includes a run of four straight victories against the Villa. Aston Villa vs West Ham Prediction West Ham’s excellent record in this fixture is an interesting angle this weekend. They won 4-1 at Villa Park last season, and have scored seven goals in their previous two trips. A first win is likely to come soon for the Hammers, and we suggest that it may come on Sunday. Make sure to bet on Aston Villa vs West Ham with 22Bet!
It has been an excellent return to the English top-flight for Nottingham Forest, as they have picked up a win, draw and loss in their first three games. However, they face one of the most daunting challenges this weekend, as Tottenham Hotspur are the visitors to the City Ground. Premier League Preview Many were expecting Nottingham Forest to struggle on their return to the Premier League this season after a massive overhaul of players from the squad that won them promotions. However, Steve Cooper has done an excellent job in managing his squad, and the team looks like they have been playing together for years. Forest announced their return to the Premier League in style in front of their home fans in the second round of games, as they picked up a first win against West Ham United. They were slightly unfortunate not to have made it two wins at the start of the season last weekend, as Everton snatched a late equaliser at Goodison Park. However, there is still enough to like about Forest to suggest that they could kick on and produce a spirited display this weekend. Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as potential dark horses for the Premier League title this season, as they have remained unbeaten throughout the three games that they have played. Antonio Conte is still trying to find the right mix within his team, and that was evident in their stodgy display against Wolves last weekend. Spurs were far from their best against Wolves at home last weekend, but they managed to escape with the three points after taking advantage of a lapse in Wolves concentration. The winning goal was scored by Harry Kane, who has already netted twice in three Premier League fixtures. Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Head to Head Forest have a good record in this fixture, as they have won six of the previous nine meetings between the sides in the Premier League. However, the vast majority of the recent clashes have come in cup competitions, with Spurs winning four of the previous five. Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction This is an exciting game in the Premier League on Sunday, and we expect Forest to put up a resilient fight against Spurs. However, it’s hard to bet against Conte’s side on the road, and we could see them winning 2-1, with Harry Kane once again getting on the scoresheet. Make sure to bet on Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham with 22Bet!
It has been an excellent start to the new season for both Real Betis and Osasuna, but one of their perfect records will come to an end in the first game of the La Liga weekend on Friday. Valencia v Atletico Madrid Prediction: La Liga Match on 29.08.2022 La Liga Preview Real Betis and Osasuna are likely to be delighted with the start that they have made to the new season. Both Spanish sides find themselves in the top four coming into this weekend, as both have won both of their opening games of the new campaign. Betis sit slightly higher than their rivals this weekend, as they are third after winning both fixtures that they have played. They have already scored five goals in the matches that they have played, and have conceded just one goal. After a comprehensive 3-0 win to open the season against Elche, Betis played their first game on the road last weekend against Mallorca. It was a tougher test than their opening game of the campaign, as they needed a penalty after 73 minutes to wrap up the win. Both goals in the victory were scored by Borja Iglesias. Osasuna are just a place behind Betis coming into this fixture, but they have also won both of their opening fixtures to the season. They opened their account with a 2-1 home victory against Sevilla, before impressing again on the second weekend of the campaign against Cadiz. Both of the Osasuna goals in the win last weekend were scored from the penalty spot, with Ezequiel Avila opening the scoring in the 37th minute. The win was confirmed with just over ten minutes remaining, as Kike Garcia scored the second penalty that Osasuna were awarded. Real Betis vs Osasuna Head to Head Osasuna have a poor record in this fixture, as they have picked up just four wins from the previous 19 meetings between the sides. Betis have also picked up wins in each of the previous two fixtures between the sides, which includes the 4-1 victory that they recorded at home against Osasuna towards the end of last season. Real Betis vs Osasuna Prediction The head-to-head record doesn’t make for pleasant reading for Osasuna, but their form at the start of this season at least gives them a chance of changing that. However, the preference remains for Betis, who have found an attacking outlet that was missing last term, and we could see them making it three wins from three on Friday. Make sure to bet on Real Betis vs Osasuna with 22Bet!
Two teams without a win in the Bundesliga will meet on Saturday at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig at 14:30 GMT as hosts RB Leipzig and visitors Wolfsburg look to get off the mark this season. Both teams have had two draws and a loss in their opening three outings in the league, which underscores the importance of this match. Bayern vs Monchengladbach Prediction: Bundesliga Match on 27.08.2022 Match Preview Can RB Leipzig Get their First Win of the Season at Home? Domenico Tedesco will be looking to turn around the poor form his side have displayed in their first three matches of the season. With two draws and a defeat, RB Leipzig are way short of their usual standards in the Bundesliga and will seek to use their home clash against Wolfsburg to turn around their form by winning the match and getting their first three points on board. The focus of Tedesco will be on improving the defensive record of his team who have conceded five goals while scoring four in the process of collecting two points and dropping seven. Can Wolfsburg Get off the Mark this Season away from Home? Niko Kovač will be anxious to guide his team to the first three points of their season. After two draws against Werder (2-2) and Schalke (0-0), and a loss against Bayern (2-0), Kovač’s focus will be on bolstering his team’s attack to earn three points against an equally out-of-form RB Leipzig side at the Red Bull Arena. Wolfsburg have kept just one clean sheet so far in their opening three matches. The focus will be on bolstering their defensive bloc to form the platform for their attacking play. With two out-of-form teams clashing on Saturday, there is a likelihood that both will prioritize avoiding defeat, which might make the match a cagey affair. Form Guide RB Leipzig RB Leipzig opened the season with back-to-back draws. The first match of the season away to VfB Stuttgart ended in a 1-1 draw. After taking the lead through Christopher Nkunku in the 8th minute, they were pegged back by Naouirou Ahamada in the 31st minute. The second match ended in a 2-2 draw at home to Koln. Although they were leading up to the 72nd minute, they were undone by a Josko Gvardiol own goal, having had Dominik Szoboszlai sent off at the end of the first half. Leipzig then lost their third match 2-1 against Union Berlin. This means that they have collected just two points out of the available nine. They will be looking to improve their form and get the first win in the clash with Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg Wolfsburg opened the season 2-2 draw at home to Werder; they followed this up with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of in-form Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. In their latest Bundesliga match, Wolfsburg managed to draw 0-0 against newly promoted Schalke last Saturday. With two points from a possible nine, Niko Kovač will be looking for quick improvements in performance and results. The first opportunity comes on Saturday when they travel to the Red Bull Arena to face an out-of-form but still formidable RB Leipzig side. Possible Starting Lineups RB Leipzig Blaswich; J. Gvardiol, W. Orban, M. Simakan; K. Kampl; D. Olmo, K. Laimer, D. Raum, B. Henrichs; C. Nkunku, R. Werner Wolfsburg Casteels; S. Bornauw, M. Lacroix, M. van de Ven, P. Otavio; J. Guilavogui; M. Arnold; J. Kaminski, M. Svanberg, O. Marmoush; L. Nmecha Players to Watch C. Nkunku The 24-year-old Frenchman has grabbed two goals in three appearances for RB Leipzig this season. The reigning Bundesliga player of the year has maintained his stellar form even with RB Leipzig’s form has dipped at the beginning of this season. The forward has struck a robust relationship with new signing Timo Werner, and he is the likely source of a goal. His pace, creative play, and potency in front of goal are important tools for RB Leipzig. The Frenchman will be crucial for RB Leipzig as they look to turn their form around and get back to winning ways. L. Nmecha The 23-year-old German is important for Wolfsburg as he forms a crucial part of the team’s...
Bayern Munich will be looking to make it four wins in a row early on in their Bundesliga season when they host in-form Monchengladbach at the Allianz Arena on Saturday at 17:30 GMT. Monchengladbach will leapfrog Bayern with a win as the dynamics at the top of the Bundesliga table play out early on. RB Leipzig vs Wolfsburg Prediction: Bundesliga Match on 27.08.2022 Match Preview Can Bayern Munich Continue their 100% Start to the Season? Julian Nageslmann’s side have made a storming start to the defense of their Bundesliga title. They have won the opening three matches, scored 15 goals, and conceded one. The Bavarians will be looking to extend this impressive start to the season when they host in-form Monchengladbach, who have made an impressive start to the season with two wins and a draw. Nagelsmann will look to have his team motivated as they look to dominate the match and create goal-scoring opportunities. The focus will be on maintaining a high tempo, pressing throughout the pitch, and putting the opponents on the back foot. Playing in front of the home fans at the Allianz Arena, Bayern will look to create and sustain a cauldron of an atmosphere to drive them to victory. Can Monchengladbach Leapfrog Bayern to the Top of Bundesliga with a Win? Monchengladbach will be the underdogs in the clash with the Champions at the Allianz Arena on Saturday. Daniel Farke’s focus will be on maintaining the high energy levels and tempo in the match against the most in-form team in the Bundesliga. This will be crucial given the massive pressure they are likely to come under against the ferocious press from the Bavarians. Farke will also seek to ensure that his team remains solid against a very potent Bayern attack. This is important because Farke’s side have conceded in all the matches they have played this season, which means a clean sheet will be important in bolstering their chance of taking something from the Allianz Arena. Form Guide Bayern Munich Julian Nagelsmann’s side kicked off their Bundesliga season with a comfortable 6-1 win away at Eintracht Frankfurt. They subsequently won 2-0 against Wolfsburg in their second match. Last weekend, Bayern won a thumping match against VfL Bochum 7-0. So far, the Bavarians have scored 15 goals and conceded one in the process. Nagelsmann will be looking to maintain this good form when they host Monchengladbach on Saturday. The focus will be on a good performance and taking the three points to extend their 100% start to the season to four matches. Monchengladbach Before the Bundesliga kicked off, Monchengladbach played in the first round of the DFB-Pokal against Oberachem; they triumphed 9-1 to set themselves perfectly for the Bundesliga. Daniel Farke’s side have made an impressive start to the season with two wins and a draw from their opening three matches in the Bundesliga. They opened the season with a 3-1 win against Hoffenheim before drawing 2-2 against Schalke. In their latest match, Monchengladbach won 1-0 against Hertha. Monchengladbach will be looking to extend their good form by upsetting the Champions at the Allianz Arena. Possible Starting Lineups Bayern Neuer; L. Hernandez, M. de Ligt, D. Upemecano, B. Pavard; L. Sane, M. Sabitzer, J. Kimmich, K. Coman; S. Mane, T. Muller Monchengladbach Sommer; J. Scally, K. Itakura, N. Elvedi, R. Bensebaini; C. Kramer, K. Kone; J. Hofmann, F. Neuhaus, A. Plea; M. Thuram Players to Watch S. Mane With three goals already in the Bundesliga in four appearances for Bayern Munich and one goal in the DFL-Supercup, the former Liverpool ace is taking to life at the Allianz Arena and the Bundesliga. Mane’s on-pitch relationship with other attacking players in the Bayern team has been robust and has added another dimension to their attacking play, especially in the post-Lewandowski era. Mane will be crucial for Bayern when they take on Monchengladbach on Saturday, and he will be at the center of the dangerous attacking the Bavarians will offer at the Allia...
Liverpool will be licking their wounds after their abysmal performance at Old Trafford resulting in their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester United. The Reds will be looking to get their first win of the season when they host newly promoted Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday at 15:00 GMT. Man City vs Crystal Palace Prediction: Premier League Match on 27.08.2022 Match Preview Can Liverpool Get their First Win of the Season? After a winless start to the season, and collecting just two points from the available nine, Jurgen Klopp will be looking to lead his side to their first win in the league this season. The gaffer will be looking forward to getting some of his side-lined first-team players back ahead of this clash. He will also seek to bolster his side’s energy levels and intensity, which were lacking in their lackluster performance at Old Trafford. Liverpool will also look to bolster their defensive showing ahead of this game; this is especially important after they conceded five goals in their opening three matches in the league. Can Bournemouth Get Back to Winning Ways in the League? After they started the season impressively with a 2-0 win against Aston Villa, Bournemouth have found life difficult as the big fixtures have come thick and fast. Losses to Manchester City and Arsenal have followed, and their next league outing is at Anfield against Liverpool on Saturday. Scott Parker will be looking for a robust performance characterized by intensity, resilience, and hard running. Facing Liverpool at Anfield will be a physically tasking affair, and the manager will be looking to ensure that his charges are in the right frame of mind and display the right mentality on Saturday. Keeping Liverpool out will be important and will offer the basis upon which Bournemouth can build a result at Anfield. Form Guide Liverpool The Reds have had a nightmare start to their season; they have collected just two points out of the nine available to them. They opened the season with an exciting but costly 2-2 draw away to Craven Cottage against newly promoted Fulham. Although they came back twice to claim a point, the two dropped were uncharacteristic of the Reds. In their second match, Klopp’s side could only draw 1-1, after they went a goal down in the 32nd minute scored by Wilfred Zaha. Their task was made hard after new striker Darwin Nunez was sent off in the 57th minute. At Old Trafford on Monday, Liverpool were second best to a rejuvenated Manchester United side, and deservedly lost 2-1. The Reds will be looking to get their first win of the season and sustain good form as they look to get their campaign back on track. Bournemouth Scott Parker’s side opened the season with an impressive 2-0 win over Aston Villa. This gave them three precious points that they will need as they look to remain in the premier league. However, their next fixtures took them to the home of the champions, where they lost 4-0; they also faced a rejuvenated Arsenal and lost 3-0 at home. Bournemouth will be looking to do better in their match against a top-six team, Liverpool, on Saturday. Scott Parker will prioritize compactness at Anfield, as he will look to frustrate the reds and exploit spaces in-behind on the counterattack. Possible Starting Lineups Liverpool Alisson; A. Robertson, V. van Dijk, J. Gomez, T. Alexander-Arnold; J. Milner, J. Henderson, H. Elliot; L. Diaz, R. Firmino, M. Salah Bournemouth Travers; C. Mephan, M. Senesi, L. Kelly; J. Lerma; A. Smith, J. Zemura, M. Tavernier, B. Pearson; K. Moore, P. Billing Players to Watch M. Salah The 30-year-old Egyptian international is Liverpool’s talisman. This is especially crucial after the exit of Mane to Bayern Munich this summer. The forward has scored 2 goals in the premier league already while also netting in the Community Shield win over Manchester City, and he will be crucial to Klopp’s men as they look to get their first win of the season at the fourth time of asking.

Manchester City will be looking to bounce back from their thrilling 3-3 draw against Newcastle last week when they host Crystal Palace on Saturday at the Etihad Stadium at 15:00 GMT. Pep Guardiola will be looking to get back to winning ways straight away while Crystal palace will be looking to repeat last season’s heroics when they beat Man City at the Etihad. Liverpool vs Bournemouth Prediction: Premier League Match on 27.08.2022 Match Preview Can Man City Bounce Back to Winning Ways? Man City were stunned by Newcastle’s direct running and intensity in their last outing at St. James’ Park. They will be looking to be prepared to handle better the counter-attacking threat that Crystal palace will pose on Saturday. Guardiola will especially be wary of the Crystal Palace threat on the counter and in transitions. However, he will insist on his charges maintaining their patient build-up and possession and use their crisp passing to create and take chances. After dropping two points last time out, Man City will be keen to take all three in the clash with Palace. Can Crystal Palace Upset the Champions at the Etihad? After getting their first win of the season in the impressive 3-1 triumph over Aston Villa, Patrick Vieira will be looking to make it two wins on the trot. However, he will know that Etihad is a very difficult hunting ground for points in the league. Having won at the Etihad last season, Palace will back themselves to go there and repeat the trick. The focus will be on compactness to thwart a City attack that has been bolstered by the arrival of Erling Haaland. Palace will look to stick with their game plan of frustrating Guardiola’s side and catching them on the counter-attack using the pace of Wilfred Zaha. Form Guide Man City Guardiola’s side began the season with an impressive 2-0 win away at the London Stadium against West Ham. It was a perfect away day performance scoring two goals and keeping a clean sheet, with new-signing Erling Haaland notching both goals. In their first home match of the season, Man City hammered Bournemouth 4-0 in a dominant performance. In the third match, Guardiola’s side had to come back to claim a thrilling 3-3 draw against Newcastle at St. James’ Park. Having collected seven points out of the available nine, Man City will be looking to bolster their consistency, starting with Bournemouth on Saturday, as they seek to set the pace at the top of the table and lay the foundation for a league challenge. Crystal Palace Patrick Vieira’s men started the season with a home loss against an impressive and battling Arsenal. Although they dropped three points, Palace performed admirably against Arsenal. Their next match was away to Liverpool, and they managed to get a point from Anfield, which bolstered their confidence heading into the Aston Villa match. Last week, they were impressive in coming back from conceding an early goal in the 5th minute by Ollie Watkins to claim all three points through a Wilfried Zaha brace and a goal by Jean-Philippe Mateta. Vieira will be looking for his side to retain their intensity and performance levels in the clash with Man City to bolster their chances of taking something from the Etihad. Possible Starting Lineups Man City Ederson; J. Cancelo, N. Ake, J. Stones, K. Walker; i. Gundogan, Rodri, K. De Bruyne; P. Foden, E. Haaland, B. Silva Crystal Palace Guaita; J. Ward, J. Andersen, M. Guehi, T. Mitchell; J. Schlupp, C. Doucoure, E. Eze; J. Ayew, O. Edouard, W. Zaha Players to Watch E. Haaland Although he is still acclimatizing into life in the English Premier League, Erling Haaland has shown signs of settling in well into this Man City squad and team. The 22-year-old has three goals in three outings for Man City. His presence in the City attack has added another layer to the danger they pose to their opponents. Although still adjusting to Pep Guardiola’s football, he has already shown promising link-up understanding with Man City’s chief creator De Bruyne and oth...
There will be an interesting fixture in the Europa Conference League playoff round on Thursday, as Fiorentina look to make their advantage from the first leg count as they return to the Netherlands. Twente remain in the tie, but they were 2-1 losers in the first leg in Italy last week. Hajduk Split vs Villarreal Prediction: Conference League Match on 25.08.2022 Europa Conference League Preview This looks set to be a very interesting fixture between Fiorentina and Twente on Thursday, and both sides will believe that they can still make it through to the Europa Conference League group stages. However, the current advantage is with Fiorentina, who were 2-1 winners in their home first leg last week. The Italian side started very quickly in the opening leg, as they went ahead after just two minutes through Nicolas Gonzalez. The advantage was doubled just after the half an hour mark, as Arthur Cabral scored the second goal in the game. Twente offered very little in the attacking third throughout that opening leg, but they were handed a lifeline with just under half an hour remaining, Vaclac Cerny scored what could prove to be a very crucial goal in the context of the tie. However, the Dutch side were slightly disappointing in the first leg, as they recorded just five shots, and hit the target on one occasion. But, they have already showed their attacking quality in this competition in home fixtures, as they hammered Cukaricki 4-1 in the previous round. Meanwhile, Fiorentina couldn’t build on the win that they achieved in the Europa Conference League in their following domestic fixture. The Italian side were held to a 0-0 draw by Empoli in Serie A on Sunday afternoon. Twente vs Fiorentina Head to Head Last week’s fixture between the two sides was the first time that they have clashed in a professional fixture. Meanwhile, Fiorentina have never lost in the Europa Conference League. However, the Italian side has won just once in their previous five meetings against Dutch opposition, with that victory coming in the first leg last week. Twente vs Fiorentina Prediction Twente will have home advantage for the second leg, and the first goal in the game looks to be the most important one. However, it’s hard to get away from the quality that the Italian side has across the pitch, which means that we could see them sealing a 1-0 win to book their spot in the group stage. Make sure to bet on Twente vs Fiorentina with 22Bet!
One of the most entertaining games in the Europa Conference League playoff round will reach its conclusion on Thursday, as Villarreal and Hajduk Split meet in the second leg. There will be a big challenge for the home side, as they lost 4-2 in Spain last week. Twente vs Fiorentina Prediction: Conference League Match on 25.08.2022 Europa Conference League Preview The first leg between these two sides was one of the most entertaining in Europe last week, and neutrals will be hoping for more of the same when they clash in Croatia on Thursday. The two sides shared six goals in an action-packed first leg on Spain last Thursday, with Villarreal eventually coming out on top with a 4-2 victory. Villarreal side fell behind early after a Stipe Biuk goal. However, they hit back quickly and went into the break with a 4-1 advantage following a brace from Jose Luis Morales, and own goal and a Gerard Moreno strike. But, the Spanish side won’t be counting their blessings just yet, as Split scored with just five minutes remaining to ensure that they are still in the tie. Marco Fossati’s penalty could yet turn out to be a crucial moment in the contest of the tie. However, Split will be aware that they are up against it for the second leg, as Villarreal have started the new season in fine form. They have won both of their opening fixtures in La Liga, and sit top of the standings. Their latest win was a 2-0 away success against Atletico Madrid. Yeremy Pino and Gerard Moreno scored the goals in the win. Split also warmed up for the return leg with a victory, as they beat NK Lokomotiva 2-1 at home on Sunday afternoon. Hajduk Split vs Villarreal Head to Head Last week’s meeting between the two sides was the first time that Villarreal and Hajduk Split have met in European competition. However, this remains a huge challenge for the Croatian side, as the Spanish team has an excellent record in qualifying fixtures. Villarreal has won six of their previous seven qualifying fixtures in European competition. Hajduk Split vs Villarreal Prediction This tie is finely poised, and the first goal could prove crucial. However, we find it challenging to see past Villarreal, who have been in excellent form at the start of the new season. We could see the Spanish side picking up a 2-1 victory to book their place in the group stage of the Europa Conference League. Make sure to bet on Hajduk Split vs Villarreal with 22Bet!
There will be a crucial game in Europe for German side Köln on Thursday, as they look to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat last week. Fehervar hold the advantage ahead of the second leg, and they will be looking for a notable scalp in the Europa Conference League. FC Basel vs CSKA Sofia Prediction: Conference League Match on 25.08.2022 Europa Conference League Preview It has been a fine run in the Europa Conference League for Fehervar this term, and they don’t appear to be content with crashing out at this stage of the competition. They have already made it through the second and third qualifying rounds, but many expected the fixture against Köln to be the end of their run. However, they produced a memorable performance in Germany last week to give them a 2-1 lead in the tie. Köln went ahead early in front of their home fans, as Florian Dietz opened the scoring after 14 minutes. However, the game changed after a red card for Julian Chabot just six minutes later. Fehervar seized their chance soon after, and levelled the scores just after the half hour mark through Budu Zivzivadze. The turnaround was complete just eight minutes later, as Palko Dardai fired the travelling side into the lead just five minutes before the break. Despite having 72% of the ball, Köln rarely threatened to tie the score line, as they managed just a single shot on target after the sending off. However, back at 11vs11, the second leg looks to be a more challenging test for Fehervar this Thursday. Köln can certainly take inspiration from the defeats that Fehervar has suffered in the Europa Conference League this term, as they have lost once in the four games that they have played. However, that defeat was suffered on the road in the second qualifying round against Gabala. Fehervar vs FC Köln Head to Head This will be the second meeting between Köln and Fehervar in European competition. The first meeting was won 2-1 by Fehervar last week. However, Fehervar do boast a very impressive record against German opposition, as they are unbeaten in two fixtures. Fehervar vs FC Köln Prediction Last week’s first leg was an engrossing affair, and this looks to follow suit this week. This could be the fixture where the shock in the Europa Conference playoff round comes, as we could see Fehervar getting at least the draw that they need to progress through to the group stage. Make sure to bet on Fehervar vs FC Köln with 22Bet!
FC Basel will be looking to get back into their Europa Conference League tie this week, as they look to bounce back from the 1-0 defeat that they suffered on the road against CSKA Sofia last week. However, the Bulgarian side will have their sights set on a second straight appearance in the Europa Conference League group stages. Europa Conference League Preview FC Basel will still have high hopes that they can overturn the defeat that they suffered in Bulgaria last week as the tie moves to Switzerland for the second leg on Thursday. It hasn’t been a vintage start to the Swiss Super League for Alexander Frei’s side, as they sit in eighth, but it does seem as though the focus has been on European progression at this early stage. However, they will need to overturn the defeat that they suffered last week if they will be playing in the group stages of the Europa Conference League this term. Basel were beaten 1-0 in Bulgaria last Thursday, with the only goal of the game being an own goal by Sergio Perez. The goal was scored with just 20 minutes remaining, which gave Basel limited time to try and find an equaliser. But, in truth, their performance didn’t deserve an equaliser last week, as they managed to record just a single shot on target in Bulgaria. Basel has enough of the ball to create chances, as they boasted 60% of the possession, but their attacking players looked extremely short on ideas. CSKA Sofia has already won twice from three home fixtures in the Europa Conference League this term, but Basel could certainly take inspiration from the fact that they were beaten in the previous round by St Patrick’s Athletic. However, the Bulgarian side are yet to lose on the road in the competition this season. FC Basel vs CSKA Sofia Head to Head This week’s fixture will be the fifth time that the two sides have clashed in European football. Sofia has won twice and lost twice in the previous four meetings. Meanwhile, Sofia has won just three times in ten meetings against sides from Switzerland. FC Basel vs CSKA Sofia Prediction This tie could still go either way, and it looks like it could be a cagey fixture. However, we’d expect Basel to be much better than they were last week, and we could see them getting the 2-0 win that they need to progress through to the group stage. Make sure to bet on FC Basel vs CSKA Sofia with 22Bet!
Rapid Vienna have a challenging game ahead of them on Thursday if they are to book their place in the Europa Conference League group stages this term. The two sides played out an entertaining draw in the first leg between the sides last week, but everything is still to play for this Thursday. Sheriff vs Pyunik Prediction: Europa League Match on 25.08.2022 Europa Conference League Preview Rapid Vienna put in an excellent showing in European competition last term, as they made it through to the knockout round of the Conference League before being eliminated by Vitesse. They will be keen to make amends for that setback this season, and they have breezed through the early qualifying rounds. Vienna eliminated Lechia Gdansk in the second round, before needing extra time to eventually see off Neftci in the previous round. This could be another nervy home game for the fans, as there was very little between Vienna and Vaduz in the first leg last week. Vaduz opened the scoring in the opening fixture between the sides after ten minutes through Dario Ulrich, before Vienna struck back early in the second half through Ferdy Druijs. It’s likely that Vaduz would have been happier with the result last week, but they could have missed an opportunity as they recorded seven shots on target, but were unable to add to the goal that they scored in the opening ten minutes. Meanwhile, Vienna may have been slightly disappointed with their attacking performance. Despite dominating the possession, they recorded just three shots on goal in the first leg. However, Vaduz will be wary of giving the Austrian side the same number of chances in the second leg, as they could punish them. Rapid Vienna vs FC Vaduz Head to Head These two clubs have only met on one previous occasion, with that meeting being the 1-1 draw between the sides last weekend. However, Vaduz will need to improve their record in Europe, as they have lost three of the ten games that they have played to this point. Rapid Vienna vs FC Vaduz Prediction There was very little between the sides in the first leg, but it could have been an opportunity missed for Vaduz, as they had no shortage of chances against Vienna. We expect Vienna to make them pay for those missed opportunities in the second leg this week, and we could see the Austrian side winning 2-0. Make sure to bet on Rapid Vienna vs FC Vaduz with 22Bet!
There will be a battle between two minnows in the playoff round of the Europa League on Thursday, but both teams will still believe that they have a chance of reaching the group stages this term. Sheriff will have home advantage for the second leg, while Pyunik will be looking for a very rare away success in Europe. Europa League Preview There was nothing to separate the two sides in the first leg last week, as Sheriff and Pyunik played out a 0-0 draw. It was certainly a bigger occasion for the home side on that occasion, as it gave them a perfect opportunity to earn something that they could defend in the return leg in Moldova. However, both sides seemed happy enough to take the 0-0 draw, as there was very little by way of clear goalscoring opportunities. That shouldn’t be surprising given Pyunik’s quality in front of goal, as they have scored just once in the previous seven games that they have played in all competitions. They have also failed to score in their previous two fixtures in all competitions. Pyunik warmed up for the return leg with a 1-0 defeat over the weekend, as Van walked away as winners from their game on the road. Meanwhile, Sheriff don’t appear to have the same issues in front of goal, as they have scored five goals in their previous three games in all competitions. The Moldovan champions were extremely routine winners on their previous outing, as they won 3-0 on the road against FC Baiti. Steve Ambri, Kay Tejan and Giannis-Foivos Botos all scored goals in the win. Their domestic record shows that there is quality at both ends of the field, as Sheriff have already scored nine goals and allowed just two. Sheriff vs Pyunik Head to Head This will only be the second meeting between these two sides following their 0-0 draw last week. However, Sheriff has a very strong record against teams from Albania, as they have won five of the eight games that they have played. During that period, they have scored 12 goals and allowed just five. Sheriff vs Pyunik Prediction The first leg between the sides was a very cagey affair, but there will be pressure on Sheriff to step up their game in the second leg. Therefore, we could see the home side routinely getting the win that they need to reach the group stages of the Europa League on Thursday. Make sure to bet on Sheriff vs Pyunik with 22Bet!
Olympiacos will be looking to ensure their spot in the Europa League group stages on Thursday evening, as they welcome Apollon Limassol to Greece. Both sides have already needed to battle through previous rounds in qualification this season, and neither will want their journey to come to an end at the final hurdle. Fenerbahce vs Austria Wien Prediction: Europa League Match on 25.08.2022 Europa League Preview Olympiacos will be the clear favourites in the betting progress from this tie, but they have already rode their luck to reach this stage of the competition after needing penalties to see off Slovan Bratislava in the previous round. However, given their history in European football, they are widely expected to raise their game back in front of their home fans after playing out a draw in Cyprus last week. It was an entertaining game between the two sides in the first leg. The team from Cyprus took the lead after 18 minutes, as Rangelo Janga opened the scoring. However, the Greek giants wasted little time in responding to that setback, as Hwang In-Beom levelled the scores before the half hour mark. Olympiacos returned to winning ways in their latest domestic fixture, as Mathieu Valbuena and Lazar Randelovic scored the goals in a 2-0 success against Giannina. Fans will be hoping for that kind of dominance once again in this second leg. However, Apollon certainly has quality within their ranks, as they recorded a 2-0 victory over Maccabi Haifa in the second leg of their Champions League qualifier at the start of the month. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to book their passage in the next round, but there was enough evidence in that success that shows that they could pose a threat to their Greek rivals this week. Olympiacos vs Apollon Limassol Head to Head These two sides have met on 12 previous occasions, but the team from Cyprus have a big challenge on their hands, as they have recorded just one victory. Olympiacos have picked up nine wins from the 12 meetings, which included victories in the three previous meetings between the sides before last week’s first leg. Olympiacos vs Apollon Prediction Apollon certainly have attacking players that could cause harm to Olympiacos this week. However, it still looks hard to see past the Greek side booking their place in the group stages, as they have excellent quality within their squad, and the experience within their ranks could be crucial. Make sure to bet on Olympiacos vs Apollon Limassol with 22Bet!
Europa League playoff action resumes on Thursday, as Turkish giants Fenerbahce will be looking to complete the job against Austria Wien. They hold a healthy 2-0 advantage coming into the second leg, and it may be difficult to bet against the Super Lig team. Olympiacos vs Apollon Limassol Prediction: Europa League Match on 25.08.2022 Europa League Preview It would seem as though Fenerbahce already has one foot in the Europa League group stages this season, as it will take a herculean effort from Austria Wien to get them back into the tie away from home on Thursday. The first leg was plain sailing for the Turkish side, as they controlled the possession and looked more than capable of breaking through when they pleased. Their nerves were certainly put at ease after just eight minutes when Joshua King fired home to give them an early lead. Austria Wien were reduced to ten with just minutes remaining at Lucas Galvao was sent off. Fenerbahce made the man advantage could just six minutes later, as Serdar Dursun scored the second goal in the 90th minute. The second goal is ultimately the decisive one, as Wien will need to start extremely strong in the second leg and find an early goal from somewhere. However, the chances of that happening look incredibly slim, as they mustered just two shots on target in the first leg last week. Fenerbahce looked strong on their return to domestic action on Monday, as they eased to a 4-2 home win against Adana Demirspor, with Enner Valencia scoring twice. Meanwhile, Austria Wien also warmed up for the return leg with a victory, as they came back from 1-0 down to beat Wolfsberg 2-1 on Sunday afternoon. However, they will need to be stronger in defence in this second leg. Fenerbahce vs Austria Wien Head to Head This will be only the second time that Fenerbahce and Austria Wien have clashed in European competition. The first meeting took place last week, with the Turkish side running out comfortable 2-0 winners. Fenerbahce vs Austria Wien Prediction Based on the showing that we saw last week, it would appear incredibly unlikely that Austria Wien will get back into this tie. Their best chance is starting quickly and finding the net within the first 15 minutes, but even then, it looks hard to not see Fenerbahce scoring at least once. We could see the Turkish side winning the second leg with both teams finding the target. Make sure to bet on Fenerbahce vs Austria Wien with 22Bet!
Trabzonspor will be looking to play their way back into their Champions League playoff tie on Wednesday, as they look to overturn the 2-1 defeat they suffered in the first leg against Copenhagen. Both sides will be confident ahead of the second leg, but which team will be playing in the Champions League group stages this season? Dinamo Zagreb vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction: Champions League Match on 24.08.2022 Champions League Preview Turkish giants Trabzonspor will have home advantage for the crucial second leg in the Champions League playoff round against Copenhagen. Their home form has already proven to be strong this season, as they have won the only fixture that they have played in front of their home fans. However, they were handed a big defeat in their last domestic fixture, as they lost 5-2 on the road against Antalyaspor over the weekend. That was only the second defeat that they have suffered in all competitions this season, with the other loss coming in the first leg against Copenhagen. Copenhagen looked to be heading for a very commanding win in the first leg last week, as they were 2-0 up after 50 minutes. Their opening goal was scored by Viktor Claesson after nine minutes, before Lukas Lerager doubled the advantage early in the second half. However, the tie-changing moment could have come with just over ten minutes remaining, as Anastasios Bakasetas handed the Turkish side a lifeline with an important goal. Just a one-goal win for the home side would see the tie head into extra time, but they will likely need to be more assertive with their possession in the second leg, as they registered just three shots on goal in the first leg, despite having 64% of the possession. Copenhagen’s defence will be put to the test in the second leg, but they will feel confident that they could surprise the Turkish side on the counter-attack. Trabzonspor vs Copenhagen Head to Head This will only be the second time that these two sides have clashed. The previous meeting was won by Copenhagen last week. Trabzonspor has only beaten Danish opposition on one occasion in five attempts, losing on three occasions. Trabzonspor vs Copenhagen Prediction While Trabzonspor are still in the tie, they will need to raise their performance level based on their showing last week. However, we can see Copenhagen progressing in this tie, as they have a resilient defensive record, which means that a 0-0 draw could be a likely outcome. Make sure to bet on Trabzonspor vs Copenhagen with 22Bet!
The pressure will be on Dinamo Zagreb in the second leg of their Champions League playoff tie this Wednesday. The Croatian side were beaten in the first leg, which means that they will need to come out and chase the tie against Bodo/Glimt this week. Trabzonspor vs Copenhagen Prediction: Champions League Match on 24.08.2022 Champions League Preview There will be confidence with the Dinamo Zagreb ranks that they can overturn the defeat that they suffered last week, as they have been in good goal scoring form in home fixtures in the competition this season. Zagreb scored four times in their previous Champions League fixture this term, as they ran out 4-2 winners against the ten-men of Ludogorets. However, this is a slightly different challenge, as Bodo/Glimt looked extremely strong in the first meeting between the sides last week. The winning goal for the Norwegian side was scored in the first half, as Amahl Pellegrino broke the deadlock after 37 minutes. However, that was one of just two shots that they recorded on target in the victory. But, they did dominant the possession throughout the fixture, as they had 56% of the ball. However, Zagreb will need to play more on the front foot in the second half if they are to overturn the defeat that they suffered last week. Zagreb looked to be in fine attacking form in their most recent domestic fixture, as they beat Osijek 5-2 at home. Dino Peric scored twice in that win, while further goals were added by Mislav Orsic and Bruno Petkovic. Meanwhile, Bodo/Glimt warmed up for the return fixture with a 2-2 draw against HamKam. Pellegrino continued his excellent scoring form with a brace in the draw. Dinamo Zagreb vs Bodo/Glimt Head To Head The only previous fixture between the two sides was played last week, as Bodo/Glimt picked up a 1-0 victory in Norway. However, Zagreb has a good record against clubs from Norway, as they have won two of the eight games that they have played, with both victories being recorded in home fixtures. Four of the meetings have ended in draws, which would not be a good enough result this week. Dinamo Zagreb vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction Bodo/Glimt would have taken confidence from their win against Zagreb last week, but we could still see the hosts progressing from this tie. It may not be a comfortable evening for the home side, but we could see them picking up the 2-0 win that they require to progress to the next round. Make sure to bet on Dinamo Zagreb vs Bodo/Glimt with 22Bet!
The second leg in the Champions League playoff round between Viktoria Plzen and Qarabag FK will take place on Tuesday evening. There was little between the two sides in the first leg, as the sides played out a 0-0 draw. But, which team will seize their chance in the second leg this week? Crvena Zvezda vs Maccabi Haifa Prediction: Champions League Match on 23.08.2022 Champions League Preview Viktoria Plzen will have home advantage for the important second leg between the sides in the Champions League this week. Their home form in the competition has already been strong this term, as they managed to see off Sheriff in the previous round with a 2-1 success in the Czech Republic. To this point, they have scored seven goals in two Champions League fixtures played at home, with five of those goals coming in a handsome win against HJK in the second qualifying round. However, the goals looked to have dried up in the first leg between the sides, as Viktoria couldn’t find a way through against Qarabag. It was a decent effort was from home by the Czech side, as they looked to play on the counter-attack. They only managed to have 33% of the possession, but had a glorious chance to steal the win in the second half. Qarabag would have been disappointed not to have taken a win from the first leg, as they registered 12 shots, with seven hitting the target. However, they weren’t able to make their advantage with the ball count, as they looked short of ideas in the final third as the clock was running down, which ultimately meant that the majority of their chances were coming from outside of the box. But, if they perform with the ball like they did in the first leg, it’s likely that they will get the chances that they require to earn their spot in the group stages of the Champions League. Viktoria Plzen vs Qarabag FK Head to Head There have been four previous meetings between these two sides, but none of which have been won by either side. All four meetings have ended in draws, with the 0-0 draw last week being the second time that a stalemate has been played out since 2016. Viktoria Plzen vs Qarabag FK Prediction The recent meetings between the two sides indicate that this will be a cagey affair on Tuesday. However, the slight preference is for Qarabag to progress, as they have the better quality in the final third of the pitch. Make sure to bet on Viktoria Plzen vs Qarabag FK with 22Bet!
The second legs of the Champions League ties in the playoff round take place this week, and one of the most compelling first legs will reach its inclusion in Serbia on Tuesday evening. The home side will have a big challenge on their hands, as Crvena Zvezda were beaten in last week’s first leg. Champions League Preview There will be a huge challenge in the Champions League playoff round on Tuesday for Crvena Zvezda, as they look to bounce back after suffering defeat in the first leg against Maccabi Haifa last week. They are still very much in the tie though, as they were beaten 3-2 in the first leg. It was a captivating first leg between the two sides, and Crvena Zvezda looked to be in complete control of the match after 40 minutes. The travelling side in the first leg were ahead 2-1 at the half time break, as Aleksandar Pesic and Guelor Kanga scored to overturn the advantage that a Frantzdy Pierrot goal had given Haifa. However, the second half didn’t go to plan for Crvena Zvezda, as their lead was eradicated just six minutes into the second half as Pierrot scored his second of the game. The game was then turned on its head ten minutes later as Tjaronn Chery scored the winning goal with half an hour remaining. It was a close fixture between the two sides, as both registered over ten shots on goal. However, Haifa were the more clinical of the two teams in the first leg, as they recorded five shots on target. The hosts also dominated the possession in the first fixture, and recorded just under 100 more passes than their rivals. However, the pressure will be on Crvena Zvezda to come out in the second half and try and force their way back into the tie. Crvena Zvezda vs Maccabi Haifa Head to Head This will only be the second time that these two sides have clashed in European competition. Haifa won the previous meeting between the teams last week, which means that Crvena Zvezda will be looking for a first victory against their rivals on Tuesday. Crvena Zvezda vs Maccabi Haifa Prediction There was enough to like about Crvena Zvezda’s performance last week to suggest that they can get the result that they need on Tuesday. However, the fact that both teams looked defensively vulnerable means that both teams to score could be the preferred selection. Make sure to bet on Crvena Zvezda vs Maccabi Haifa with 22Bet!
Welcome to round three of the new Spanish La Liga season, where you can expect to find several of the sport’s top teams and players battling for position in the division. The La Liga is already starting to take shape, with the likes of Villarreal, Real Madrid, Real Betis and Osasuna all getting off to a strong start, winning each of their opening two games. Cadiz is the early struggler, losing two games to sit rooted to the bottom of the league. Atletico Madrid lost their La Liga title to city rivals Real Madrid last season, and it will be interesting to see how they return. Will they bounce back and lay down a challenge to the likes of Blancos and Barcelona, or is a top-four finish the best they can hope for this term? We will find out all in good time, but there can be no denying we’ll get a better idea of what to expect from Atletico. Valencia could be a dark horse this year, and we’ll also find out just how dangerous they can be. These teams met twice last season in La Liga, both being memorable games, producing 11 goals. The first match of the previous campaign was also played with Valencia as the home side, and the match ended level with the pair producing a stunning 3-3 draw. The second encounter in Madrid was every bit as interesting, with Atletico Madrid winning by the odd one in a five-goal thriller back in January of this year. Both teams have scored in each of the last three renewals of this fixture, and fans want to see this game follow that trend. Valencia suffers a mixed bag Followers of Valencia entered this season with high hopes as they aimed to cheer their beloved club to victory. A European finish certainly isn’t beyond them in the coming campaign, but the club suffered mixed results in the opening two games, taking three points from a possible six. That leaves them in midtable with a solid foundation on which to launch their season, and pundits are confident there’s plenty more to come from Valencia. The locals opened their season with a morale-boosting win when beating Girona on their only other game at this venue. It was a tough contest, with Valencia sneaking a 1-0 win thanks to a goal from Soler just before the interval, the winning goal scored from the penalty spot. Valencia then had a player sent off not long after the re-start with Comert shown a straight red on 52 minutes. Valencia clung to their advantage despite playing much of the half with 10 men. Last time, there was no such luck when the score again finished 1-0, but Valencia lost that match to Athletic Bilbao. It was a game they had enough chances to win and spent much of the contest in possession of the football, but the team still lacked a bit of sharpness in advanced areas of the pitch. That will improve as they get more minutes in their legs, but that’s a performance the coaching staff will be keen to improve on this weekend. Will we see Valencia make a quickfire return to winning ways, making it two victories from three? Madrid lost last time Atletico Madrid started their title challenge as they aim to capture two La Liga flags in three seasons. They have picked up half of the first six points for grabs by following an opening day win with defeat in their last start. They began the week sitting eighth in the table, level on points with three other sides that also won on week one then lost at the second time of asking. Despite not being ranked as high as fans would have hoped, Atletico is only two points off the pace set by Villarreal. The one win on their CV was achieved away from home when scoring a deserved victory against Getafe with the scoreline reading 0-3. That was a run-of-the-mill win, and the victors didn’t need to hit top gear, which will encourage the fans to have high hopes for the year ahead. There’s more to come from this Atletico Madrid team than we have seen already. It would be no surprise to us if they were to finish in the top four, continuing their habit of making it into the Champions League, rubbing shoulders w...
Round three of the 2022/2023 Italian Serie A season will be played this weekend, and there are some eye-catching fixtures on the programme. Battles rage at both ends of the ladder, with the various title hopefuls looking to strengthen their hand while those with the threat of relegation already hanging over them desperate for a favourable result. The match that caught our attention will be played at the Stadio Olimpico as Lazio welcome Inter Milan for 90 minutes of action that could help shape the division. The locals are out to make their home advantage count while the visitors seek three points that’ll bring them up to speed with the early front-runners. Will we see Lazio or Inter Milan celebrating at the full-time whistle? That’s a question our team of Italian football lovers and sportsbook experts aim to answer. Juventus v Roma Prediction: Serie A Match on 27.08.2022 Lazio and Inter Milan met twice last season, with the team playing at home, winning on each occasion. Lazio bagged victory at this venue last October thanks to an impressive 3-1 result but couldn’t do the double, with Milan firing back with a 2-1 home win. Both teams have scored in each of the last five renewals of this fixture, and armchair fans preparing to watch this match on television hope for more of the same. Lazio is unbeaten so far Lazio started this week in sixth place following an unbeaten start to the season, taking four points from the first six that were available to them. The locals got off the mark with victory in their opening game of the campaign but were held to a draw last weekend, meaning all eyes are on the team to see how they fare on matchday three. Will they return to winning ways and keep tabs on the leaders or drop more points and move towards the middle of the league? Fans can’t wait to find out. Matchday one saw Lazio get off to the best possible start when they fought back from 1-0 down at home against Bologna to win the match 2-1. It was a bad-tempered affair with the official showing two red cards in the first half, sending off Arantes Maximiano inside the opening six minutes of the contest before Soumaoro was sent packing in added-on time at the end of the first half, levelling the score at 10 players each. A De Silvestri own goal on 68 minutes and Immobile strike on 79 turned the game in Lazio’s favour. Fans had less to cheer last weekend when watching Lazio take only a point from a road trip to Torino on Saturday. It was a match most followers of Serie A would have expected Lazio to win and collect all three points, but they failed to break down a stuffy opponent who was organised and worked hard throughout the contest. The 0-0 result meant it wasn’t a game for the fans or lovers of free-flowing football, but it was a fair result with neither team deserving to win the match, but it would have been harsh to see one club lose. Milan is going great guns Many respected pundits picked Inter Milan to go and win the Serie A title again this season, and it isn’t easy to write them off. Inter have the experience and squad depth needed to challenge for the top prize in Italian football this year, but they must be prepared for a long, tough season where consistency will be key to success. The fans will also play their part, especially when the club travels. Milan enters game three of the season with six points on the board from a possible six, winning each of their opening two matches. Inter expected a strong start, and they lived up to the hype by reeling off two wins, with everyone connected to the team wishing for a treble. Three victories on the bounce are not beyond Inter Milan, and they will arrive at the Stadio Olimpico looking to continue their winning ways. That’s easier said than done, of course, but there’s no reason why the visitors can’t get the result they are after. Inter opened their season with an eye-catching and confidence-boosting win over Lecce on their travels, winning a competitive match by a 2-1 scoreline but ...
Four matches will be played in the Italian Serie A on Saturday, with the action getting underway at 17:30 when Cremonese take on Torino. Top of the bill on Saturday pairs Juventus and Roma, two sides who hope to be challenging for the title come the business end of the campaign. The league won’t be won and lost here, but this match will give us an early look at both clubs, their strengths and weaknesses. Perfect for those predicting the winner of the league. For football fans happy to concentrate on the here and now, this promises to be an exciting match involving two clubs who believe they are good enough to claim all three points. There are some top players on show here, and armchair fans are in for a treat with this game expected to live up to expectations. But which team will come out on top, Juventus or Roma? That’s the question our team of football writers aim to provide you with an answer to. Chelsea v Leicester Prediction: Premier League Match on 27.08.2022 The recent head-to-head stats show these teams met twice last season, with Juventus claiming all three points on both occasions, made even more impressive by the fact Juve endured a difficult season. They won the match at this venue by a 1-0 score before claiming victory on the road with a 4-3 victory in a memorable goal-fest. Will we see a repeat performance in this renewal, or will this be another tight game? Juve off to a winning start This is an important season for Juventus, but followers of the club don’t know what to expect from this side. They dominated Italian football for a decade, but their reign ended before Cristiano Ronaldo left for Old Trafford and Manchester United. The home team has finished in the top four in the last two seasons without worrying the champions. Will we see more of the same this year, or can The Old Lady get back to challenging for major honours in Italy and on the continent? They did get off to a winning start this season when laying down a marker, taking three points on matchday one. That showed Juve mean business this year, and that solid foundation gives them a strong base to launch their challenge. If they can add another three points at home when Roma comes calling, they will be up with the early leaders with the club’s critics forced to take their title challenge seriously. This isn’t a must-win match, but it is a game the locals know they need to win if they want to challenge. Game one of the season ended in a 3-0 victory at this venue over Sassuolo. It was a match they were expected to win, with the visitors knowing they were up against it, and although Juve got the points they were expected to, the players deserve credit for their performance and the manner of the win. Goals from Di Maria and a Vlahovic double helped seal a victory, bringing the curtain up in style, and everyone connected to the club will want to see plenty more of the same in the coming weeks. Roma starts well Roma is in a similar position to the host club because we don’t know what to expect from them this season. The visitors are capable of challenging for a top-four finish this season and place in next term’s UEFA Champions League. Still, to achieve this, they must find consistency early and reel off a string of favourable results early in the campaign. Are they good enough to challenge the likes of Milan, Atalanta and Juventus for the title? That remains to be seen. Roma started their season with a win on matchday one, with the three points ensuring they were up with the early leaders. They were on the road for their opening fixture with the club travelling to Salernitana on Sunday 14th August, departing with the points at the full-time whistle. They gave fans an early reason to cheer when bagging a narrow and hard-fought but deserved 1-0 victory with the winning goal that day scored by Cristante with 33 minutes on the clock. They had chances to put the game to bed but lacked the sharpness needed to turn chances into goals. This will be Roma’s seco...
Welcome to week four of the English Premier League campaign, and as we prepare for the final games of August, the top division of English football is already beginning to take shape. The likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur are all vying for position at the head of the list, but the Gunners are the only side with a 100% record. At the other end of the table, we find Manchester United and West Ham United without a point against their name. There are some fascinating matches to look forward to this weekend. Still, in this preview, we focus on the play at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea host Leicester City in what’s expected to be a thrilling contest played on the edge. Armchair fans hope this one lives up to the pre-match hype and delivers plenty of goals and even more talking points. Neither the Blues nor Foxes have started the season well, meaning there’s pressure to finish August on a high. These sides met twice in the Premier League last season, with Chelsea remaining unbeaten in both games, winning 3-0 at the King Power Stadium in November before being held to a 1-1 draw back in May. The bridge is never an easy place to visit, and it’s likely the visitors would see another share of the spoils as a good return, but the locals know they must get a win on the board and breathe life into their EPL challenge. Singing the blues Chelsea’s loyal support spent the summer making grand plans for their club to conquer England and Europe. The blues expected to challenge for the Premier League title following a few seasons of watching Man City and Liverpool dominate proceedings. The London club did with the Champions League recently when beating Tottenham in the final but weren’t able to successfully defend the trophy last term. Will we see improvements in the coming months? To stand any chance of enjoying success this season, the locals must improve. They have an even split from their opening three games, taking one win, one draw and a defeat. The four points gained from the nine available to them leave Chelsea down in 12th position, sharing form with Crystal Palace, Brentford and Nottingham Forest. Chelsea is expected to finish much higher up the table than the three teams mentioned, but fans want to see them hit their stride early and put together a strong run of form. They were last seen in action losing away to Leeds United at Elland Road last Sunday, which caught many English football fans by surprise. Unbeaten in their opening two matches, Chelsea travelled to Yorkshire expected to add another three points and keep pace with the early leaders. Still, the blues were blown away by an ambitious opponent that refused to lose in front of their fans. Foxes winless in three It’s always difficult to judge how a Leicester City team will perform in a season as the club blows hot and cold. They win when the odds are stacked against them and often lose or drop points when expected to secure victory. They are unreliable when making predictions in the Premier League, and that lack of consistency could cost them in this coming campaign. The pressure is already on the visitors to start winning. Leicester started the week down in the relegation zone, where they sit in 18th position with only Man Utd and West Ham beneath them. It’s unlikely any of those three will be in the danger zone come the end of the season and but Leicester knows they must embark on a strong run of form if they are to release some of the tension hanging over the club. Winning in London is never easy, but if Leicester can take the points, it would boost morale while taking the legs away from their opponents, who will begin to panic. Last weekend, Leicester suffered their second loss of the season when going down against Southampton at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes and Saints are usually two well-matched teams, and that proved to be the case again, but Southampton left with the spoils following a 2-1 score. Che Adams hit a double to win th...
After an evenly contested first leg, which ended in a 2-2 draw at the Ibrox Stadium, PSV and Rangers will renew acquaintances on Wednesday when the former hot the latter at the Philips Stadion at 20:00GMT. Both teams are looking to make it into this season’s group stages of the Champions League tournament. Benfica vs Dynamo Kyiv Prediction: Champions League Match on 23.08.2022 Match Preview Can PSV Make Home Advantage Count against Rangers? After making a winning start to their Eredivisie season, PSV will be looking to extend this good run of form into their Champions League qualifier tie against Rangers, with the second leg coming up on Wednesday. The Dutch will focus on compactness and avoid being as open as they were away from home in the 2-2 draw at Ibrox. However, they will also seek to ensure that their approach allows the creation of chances because they need to score to complete the victory. Keeping a clean sheet will be crucial for PSV because they have not kept one over their last six matches. This highlights the challenge they face as they bid to beat Rangers. Can Rangers Cause an Upset to make it into the Champions League Group Stage? Rangers will be looking to extend their brilliant start to their Scottish Premiership season where they have won three out of three as they chase early pace setters Celtic. The Ibrox side will be encouraged with the 2-2 home draw against PSV in the first leg. They will back themselves to go to the Netherlands and get the win they need to proceed to the group stages of the Champions League this season. Having kept three clean sheets in their last three outings in the Champions League qualifying rounds, Rangers will be confident that they can score and shut out PSV on their way to progressing to the next round of the competition. Form Guide PSV Eindhoven PSV started the season with an emphatic 2-5 win over Ajax in the Johan Cruijff Shield, which set them up for a perfect beginning to the Eredivisie campaign. They have since won four matches and drawn twice in all competitions. In the third qualifying round of the Champions League, PSV drew 1-1 away to Monaco before winning the return leg 3-2 to progress. PSV have also won two of their opening two fixtures in the Eredivisie. They have collected six points and are ranked second on the table behind Ajax. Ruud van Nistelrooy will look to use the home atmosphere to fire his side to qualification for Champions League this season at the expense of Rangers. Rangers The Ibrox side have won their opening three matches in the Scottish Premiership. They have collected 9 points and have kept pace with top-of-the-table Celtic. Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side eliminated Union Saint-Gillois in their previous round of Champions League qualifiers. They won 2 away from home while completing their progression with a 3-0 win at the Ibrox. In their first leg of their tie with PSV, Rangers held them to a 2-2 draw, setting up a finely-poised second leg in the Netherlands. Bronckhorst will focus on solidity in the second leg with emphasis on counter-attacking PSV, who are expected to dominate possession. Possible Starting Lineups PSV Eindhoven Benitez; P. Max, A. Obispo, A. Ramlho, J. Teze; E. Gutierrez, J. Veerman, I. Sangare; C. Gakpo, L. de Jong, I. Saibari Rangers McLaughlin; J. Tavernier, C. Goldson, J. Sands, B. Barisic; T. Lawrence, S. Davies, J. Lundstram; A. Colak, M. Tillman, R. Kent Players to Watch L. de Jong The Dutch 31-year-old striker has grabbed two goals this season. He has notched one in the Eredivisie while also scoring one in the Champions League qualifiers. His aerial power is a potent tool for PSV as they look to dominate their opponents and create goal-scoring chances. His link-up with the rest of the attacking players for PSV is also important in bolstering their passing game, and creating chances for wide players and attacking midfielders to grab goals. A. Colak The Croatian national team forward has been crucial for Rangers this se...
After taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the first leg against the Ukrainian side – Dynamo Kyiv – at the Stadion LKS, Benfica will be looking to finish the job of making it to the next round of the Champions League when they play host at the Estadio da Lux on Tuesday at 20:00GMT. PSV Eindhoven vs Rangers Prediction: Champions League Match on 23.08.2022 Match Preview Can Benfica Finish the Work and Qualify for the Next Round of the Champions League? Benfica have started the Primeira Liga season with two wins out of two matches. They will be looking to extend this good form into the Champions League play-off tie against Dynamo Kyiv. Although they take a 2-0 lead into this second leg fixture, Roger Schmidt will be looking for professionalism from his side as they look to finish the job. Roger Schmidt will be looking to put out a strong team for this match, even though they will be back in Primeira Liga action a few days later. The gaffer will guard against complacency from his team as he looks to seal qualification to the next round of Europe’s biggest club competition. Can Dynamo Kyiv Cause an Upset against the Favoured Portuguese Side? With the domestic Ukrainian league yet to kick off, Dynamo will be at a disadvantage when playing against a Benfica side sharpened by an already underway Primeira Liga campaign. However, Mircea Lucescu will be looking to advance his side’s participation in the Champions League by gunning for a major comeback upset against Benfica. Already trailing by 2 goals, Dynamo will be looking to turn the tie around in Portugal through a combination of daring attacking and compact defending. This balance eluded them in the first leg of this tie. Mircea Lucescu will be looking for the perfect game plan and a brilliant reaction from his players as they step out onto the Estadio de Luz ground on Tuesday. Form Guide Benfica In their last five competitive outings (two in the Primeira Liga and three in the Champions League qualifying), Benfica have won all four fixtures in a storming start to the season. In the Champions League qualifiers, Roger Schmidt’s men have won against Midtjylland at home (4-1) and away from home (1-3), and against Dynamo Kyiv away from home (2-0). In the Primeira Liga, Benfica started the season with a convincing 4-0 triumph over Arouca at the Estadio de Luz. They also won their second fixture 1-0 against Casa Pia. Roger Schmidt will be looking to leverage this good run of form in the clash with Dynamo to complete Benfica’s progression to the next round of the Champions League competition. Dynamo Kyiv Dynamo Kyiv have already played five matches in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League. They have eliminated Fenerbahce (2-1) on aggregate, SK Sturm Graz (3-1) on aggregate, and lost their first leg against Benfica (2-1). The focus of the manager – Mircea Lucescu – in the next clash with Benfica will be to set up a team that can pose an attacking threat while shutting the Portuguese side out. However, Lucescu and his Dynamo players realize that the match will be difficult given the quality and form of Benfica, especially playing at home. Possible Starting Lineups Benfica Vlachodimos; Alex Grimaldo, Morato, N. Otamendi, Gilberto; E. Fernandez, F. Luis; J. Mario, R. Silva, D. Neres; G. Ramos Dynamo Kyiv Bushchan; T. Kedziora, I. Zabarnyi, D. Popov, V. Dubinchak; V. Tsygankov, O. Andriyevskyi, M. Shaparenko, V. Shepelev; A. Besyedin, V. Buyalskyi Players to Watch G. Ramos The 21-year-old Portuguese forward has grabbed 4 goals already this season in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League. Ramos has also scored 1 goal in the Primeira Liga this season, helping the team to a 1-0 win in their last match against Casa Pia in the league. His work rate, movement, creativity, power, and link-up with other Benfica forwards have been crucial assets for this team this season. The Portuguese professional will be important for Benfica in the clash with Dynamo Kyiv, having already netted against t...
After collecting four points out of the six available and keeping two clean sheets, Newcastle will host the champion Manchester City at St. James’ Park on Sunday at 16:30GMT. Manchester City will be looking to keep their 100% start to the season when they face the impressive magpies on Sunday as they seek to step up the style this season. Man Utd v Liverpool Prediction: Premier League Match on 22.08.2022 Match Preview Can Newcastle Extend their Unbeaten Start to the Season against the Champions? Eddie Howe will be looking to extend Newcastle’s good start this season when his team faces the Champions on Sunday at St. James’ Park. With expectations high for Newcastle this season, given the takeover and new signings, Howe will be looking to get a good result against the top six teams in the league, starting with the clash with Manchester City on Sunday. Howe’s side has also kept two clean sheets in their season’s opening matches, which bodes well for when they face the free-scoring Manchester City. Howe knows that managing a shutout against the likes of Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland will be difficult. However, the focus will be on solidity while maintaining their attacking threat in transition. Can Manchester Extend their Winning Run to Three Matches to Start the Season? Pep Guardiola will be pleased with the start Manchester City have made this season. With two wins, six goals scored, and two clean sheets, the Spaniard will be looking to extend this run as City seek to set the early pace this season. Guardiola will also be looking to further integrate new striker Erling Haaland into the team as the former Borussia Dortmund ace steps his acclimatization into the English Premier League. Man City will also have to deal with a rejuvenated Newcastle side with the support of St. James’ Park. Guardiola expects his side to keep their approach, patiently build play from the back, and break Newcastle down using their passing and runs. Form Guide Newcastle The Magpies won two and lost two of the last four pre-season friendly matches before they licked off their season. They lost against Mainz (1-0) and Benfica (3-2). They ended their pre-season with wins against Atalanta (1-0) and Athletic Club (2-1). They have started the season with an impressive 2-0 win against newly promoted Nottingham Forest.

City then played in the FA Community Shield against Liverpool, where they lost 3-1 to an in-form Reds. However, Man City bounced by starting the season with a 2-0 win away at West Ham and following it up with a 4-0 dismantling of Bournemouth. With two clean sheets and six goals scored, Guardiola will be looking to maintain or even step up his team’s form as the season continues in earnest. Possible Starting Lineups Newcastle Pope; D. Burn, S. Botman, F. Schar, K. Trippier; Joelinton, B. Guimaraes, J. Willock; A. Saint-Maximin, C. Wilson, M. Almiron Manchester City Ederson; K. Walker, R. Dias, N. Ake, J. Cancelo; Rodri, i. Gundogan; R. Mahrez, K. De Bruyne, P. Foden; E. Haaland Players to Watch A. Saint-Maximin The 25-year-old French winger is an important talisman for Newcastle.

Athletic Club will be looking to get off the mark after opening the season with a 0-0 draw at home against Mallorca. Atletico vs Villarreal Prediction: La Liga Match on 21.08.2022 Match Preview Can Athletic Bilbao Win their First Match of the Season against Valencia? Ernesto Valverde Tejedor will be looking for his first win of the season when his side take on Valencia on Sunday. The gaffer was disappointed that his side could only manage a draw against Alaves in the season’s opening match. While they bossed possession of the match against Mallorca, had 23 shots at goal with six shots on target, Bilbao were unable to convert their dominance into three points. Tejedor will be focusing on improving his side’s potency in front of goal as they look to get their first win of the season in the clash with Valencia. Athletic Club will focus to dominate the match against Valencia, press them across the pitch, and creating goal-scoring chances. Can Valencia make it Two Back-to-Back Wins in La Liga? After Valencia took the lead in the 46th minute of the first half against Girona, they were reduced to ten men when Eray Comert was sent off. However, Gennaro Gattuso’s side held on to claim all three points. Girona dominated possession with an extra man on the pitch; however, they could only manage one shot on target. This highlighted the solidity and compactness of the Valencia team and the tactics implemented by Gennaro Gattuso. Gattuso will be looking for his side to maintain their solidity even as they seek to enhance their attacking potency when they face Athletic Club on Sunday. Form Guide Athletic Bilbao Athletic Club had five pre-season matches, winning two, drawing two, and losing one. They started their pre-season schedule with a 1-1 draw at Mainz before losing 2-1 at Newcastle. Bilbao ended their pre-season with two wins and a draw against Mirandes (0-3) and Real Sociedad (1-0), and Alaves (1-1). Ernesto Valverde Tejedor’s side began the season with a 0-0 draw against Mallorca last Monday, which was disappointing given they were playing in front of the home fans. The club will be hoping to get the first win of their season as they seek to challenge European places this season. Valencia Gattuso’s side had a mixed pre-season schedule. They played six matches; they won thrice, drew once, and lost twice. The wins came against Borussia Dortmund (3-1), St. Gallen (2-0), and Atalanta (2-1). They drew once against Nottingham Forest (1-1). The losses came against VfB Stuttgart (5-2) and Castellon (1-0). Gattuso’s side opened the season with an impressive 1-0 win despite playing the second half with ten men having had a player sent off. Gattuso will be looking to retain the solidity of his side even as he works to bolster their attacking threat. He will also hope his players can maintain discipline and finish the match with 11 players. Possible Starting Lineups Athletic Bilbao Simon; O. de Marcos, D. Vivian, Y. Alvarez, Y. Berchiche; O. Sancet, M. Vesga, I. Muniain; I. Williams, A. Villalibre, Alex Berenguer Valencia Mamardashvili: T. Correia; C. Mosquera, M. Diakhaby, J. Vazquez; Y. Musah, H. Guillamon, C. Soler; Samu Castillejo, H. Duro, S. Lino Players to Watch A. Villalibre The 24-year-old striker will be crucial for Athletic Bilbao as they seek to get their season off the ground. The Spanish professional offers pace, flexibility, work rate, and creativity up front for Bilbao. His relationship with Inaki Williams upfront is crucial for Athletic; the two players can interchange positions to give the team a fluid approach in its attacking areas. His pressing allows for possession to be won in the opposition’s half and bolsters the chances of creating goal-scoring chances. C. Soler The Spanish midfielder notched the winning f...
After a storming and statement-making opening to their La Liga campaign with a 3-0 win away to Getafe, Atletico Madrid will be looking to sustain their early momentum when they host Villarreal at the Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday at 18:30GMT. Villarreal are also coming out of a sterling start to their season with an emphatic 3-0 win away to Valladolid. Match Preview Can Atletico Make a Winning Start to their Home Fixtures In Front of their Fans? Diego Simeone will be happy with his side’s start to the season. Their performance away to Getafe was brilliant after they dominated the match while defensively, they did not concede a single shot on target. This was a typical Simeone performance, and he will be looking to replicate it in the tougher examination posed by Villarreal. Simeone will also be looking to further re-integrate Alvaro Morata, who grabbed a brace in the opening weekend win. The focus will be on re-adjusting his attack, especially since Luis Suarez will not play at the Wanda Metropolitano. This is especially important given the defensive solidity of the Villarreal rear-guard. Can Villarreal Cause an Upset at the Metropolitano? Unai Emery will have to balance between the Europa Conference League play-off match against Hajduk Split and the need to have fresh players for the mega clash on Sunday against Atletico Madrid in the capital. After opening the season with a 3-0 away win, Emery will be pleased with his side’s attacking play and defensive balance. However, he will know that the threat posed by Atletico Madrid will be starkly different from the Valladolid side they faced on the opening weekend. Villarreal will look to be compact defensively against Atletico Madrid, as they will look to launch fast counter-attacks whenever they win the ball. Form Guide Atletico Madrid Atletico played four pre-season matches before kicking off at Getafe. Simeone’s men won all four preparation fixtures. They beat Numancia (0-4), Manchester United (1-0), Cadiz (1-4), and Juventus (0-4). Atletico kept three clean sheets, conceded just one goal, and scored 13 goals. This good form was translated into their opening weekend fixture, where they triumphed 3-0 against Getafe. Simeone will be hoping to extend this positive run of form when they meet an in-form Villarreal side on Sunday. The focus will be on balancing defense and attack to keep a clean sheet without affecting their potency in front of goal. Villarreal In their last four pre-season matches, Unai Emery’s side won three and drew once as they stepped up preparation for the new La Liga season. They won matches against Southampton (1-2), Levante (3-1), and Inter (2-4). Their fixture against Fulham ended in a 1-1 draw. This good run of form was translated into their sterling opening weekend 0-3 win over Valladolid. Unai Emery will be looking to maintain the solidity of his team when they face Atletico on Sunday as they look to cause an upset against the immediate former La Liga champions. Possible Starting Lineups Atletico Madrid Oblak; Saul, R. Mandava, A. Witsel, S. Savic, N. Molina; T. Lemar, Koke, M. Llorente; J. Felix, A. Morata Villarreal Rulli; Alfonso, P. Torres, R. Albiol, J. Foyth; F. Cowuelin, D. Parejo, E. Capoue, Y. Pino; N. Jackson, G. Moreno Players to Watch A. Morata The Spanish international notched two goals in his first competitive match back at Atletico on the opening weekend. As he steps up to fill the void left behind by Luis Suarez, Morata will be crucial in attack for Atletico this season as they seek to regain their La Liga title surrendered to Real Madrid last season. This season, his goal-scoring, aerial prowess, and link-up play with Joao Felix will be important for Simeone’s side. Morata will be important on Sunday when they face Villarreal, renowned for its defensive solidity. G. Moreno The 30-year-old Spanish striker is the talisman for Villarreal. His work rate is crucial for how Unai Emery sets up his team. His goal-scoring has traditionally b...
After starting the season dismally, with two defeats out of the two matches – zero points and at the bottom of the Bundesliga – Leverkusen will host 8th-placed Hoffenheim on match-day three of the season at the Bay Arena on Saturday at 14:30GMT. Hoffenheim will be looking to make it two wins in a row, while Leverkusen will be seeking their first win of the season. Union vs RB Leipzig Prediction: Bundesliga Match on 20.08.2022 Match Preview Can Leverkusen Register their first win of the season on Saturday? Gerardo Seoane will be bitterly disappointed with his team’s form and the start they have made to the new season. However, the Swiss will be looking steady at Leverkusen’s form ahead of the home clash with Hoffenheim on Saturday.

Gerardo Seoane will focus on tightening his defensive phase of the team even as he seeks to bolster their attacking threat. The gaffer will be aware of Hoffenheim’s threat, especially in transitions. Therefore, the team’s shape and the players’ work rate will be crucial in helping Leverkusen register their first point(s) of the season. Can Hoffenheim make it two wins in a row in the Bundesliga? After opening day 3-1 loss to Monchengladbach, Hoffenheim rallied and won the next match at home against Bochum, which ended in an eventful 3-2 triumph. André Breitenreiter will focus on keeping the winning run going when he faces winless Leverkusen on Saturday. However, he will be aware of the caliber of Leverkusen, who fished 3rd on the Bundesliga table last season. The focus of Hoffenheim will be on bolstering their form as they face a tricky future against a team that has not shown true ability yet this season, given the nightmare start they have had with two straight losses. Form Guide Leverkusen Leverkusen started the season with a 1-0 reverse against Dortmund. Marco Reus scored against them in the 10th minute, and Leverkusen could not find a reply. Their frustration was displayed when Lukas Hradecky was sent off in the 92n minute of the match with his tea headed for defeat on opening day. The second match ended in a disappointing 1-2 loss to Augsburg. Leverkusen went behind through a Fredrik Jensen goal in the 15th minute before equalizing through Charles Aranguiz in the 43rd minute. However, they fell behind in the 82nd minute and could not recover. Leverkusen will focus on getting the job done against Hoffenheim and getting their season underway with their first win in the third attempt of the Bundesliga campaign. Hoffenheim Hoffenheim started the season with a 3-1 reverse against in-form Monchengladbach; this match highlighted challenges in defense, attack, and midfield. Hoffenheim could not keep the ball or construct attacking sequences to trouble Monchengladbach. The same challenges were displayed in the 3-2 win over Bochum. Although the team scored three goals, they also conceded twice, which could have cost them the points on another day. The team will be looking to retain its attacking verve while fixing its defensive weaknesses. This will be crucial in the clash with Leverkusen, who will be desperate to get their first win of the season on board. Possible Starting Lineups Leverkusen Lunyov; J. Frimpong, J. Tah, E.

Match Preview Can Union Maintain their Unbeaten Start to the Season against RB Leipzig? With a win and a draw, Union Berlin will be looking to bolster their unbeaten start to the season. The clash with RB Leipzig will be a massive test for Union as they seek to examine their consistency and resilience. Playing at home, Union will be expected to play on the front foot and attack the opposition in search of a win that will earn them three points and maintain their unbeaten record at the start of the Bundesliga season. However, there is a need for Union Berlin to strike a balance between their defensive and attacking units to optimize their chances of taking points from this fixture against a very talented RB Leipzig side. Can RB Leipzig get their First Win of the Season in the Clash with Union? RB Leipzig have not started the season well, scoring two draws and collecting two points out of the available six. Since they are expected to be fighting for Champions League places, they will need to bolster their form, starting with the clash with Union on Saturday. Domenico Tedesco’s focus will be bolstering their defense to enhance their ability to keep clean sheets. After conceding 1 goal in the 1-1 draw against Stuttgart, they conceded two goals in the 2-2 draw against Koln. Tedesco will, therefore, seek to rectify his team’s shape and approach to ensure that they are defensively solid without negatively affecting their attacking play and potency in front of goal.

The team’s focus in the match against RB Leipzig on Saturday will be to maintain their form and retain their unbeaten start to the season. Before the Bundesliga season began, Union beat Chemnitzer FC 2-1 in the DFB-Pokal. In their preseason, Union beat Bohemians (2-1), SK Dynamo (1-0), and Nottingham Forest (1-0). They also drew 3-3 with Udinese. This good run form has been extended into their DFB-Pokal and Bundesliga form. Urs Fischer will be seeking to bolster this good run of form in the match against RB Leipzig, which will stand them in good stead for the rest of the Bundesliga campaign. RB Leipzig RB Leipzig won their two pre-season fixtures against Southampton (3-1) and Liverpool (5-0). The 5-0 against Liverpool was especially impressive given the caliber of opposition, and the cutting edge shown by Leipzig in their attacking play. Domenico Tedesco’s men then lost 5-3 against Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup. Leipzig have started the season with back-to-back draws in their first two matches. They opened with a 1-1 against Stuttgart and last week ended 2-2 against Koln, albeit with a man sent off. Possible Starting Lineups Union Berlin Ronnow; D. Leite, R. Knoche, P. Jaeckel; N.

Olmo; T. Werner, C. Nkunku Players to Watch T.

The striker offers a brilliant relationship with fellow striker Becker, who also scored in the 3-1 win over Hertha. Siebatcheu will be crucial for Union when they host RB Leipzig, who have not shown great form yet this season. This was shown in how they conceded two goals in their 2-2 draw with Koln and dropped 2 points. C. Nkunku The reigning Bundesliga player of the year has picked off from where he lef...

With one clean sheet and four goals scored, Edin Terzić will feel that his side is operating optimally as the new season gains steam.

It is especially crucial because Dortmund lost Erling Haaland, their leading scorer last season. Werder Werder started the season with an exciting 2-2 draw against Vfl Wolfsburg; they followed this result up with another thrilling 2-2 draw against Stuttgart. While Ole Werner will be pleased with his side’s attacking potency, he will be worried about the ability of his side to keep clean sheets. Although they have scored four goals in two matches, they have also conceded four goals in the process. Werner will be focusing on improving his side’s ability to shut out the opposition without negatively affecting their attacking potency.

Europa League qualifying action takes place on Thursday evening, as Fenerbahce look to take control of their tie against Austria Wien. The Turkish side are the clear favourites in the betting to win away from home, but could the hosts produce a shock result? Istanbul Basaksehir vs Royal Antwerp Prediction: Conference League Match on 18.08.2022 Europa League Preview Fenerbahce will be looking to go one better than they managed last season in Europe, as they failed to qualify for the Europa Conference League, as they were knocked out in the playoff round by Slavia Prague. However, Fenerbahce did reach the group stages of the Europa League last term, but they could only finish third in their group. The Turkish side have already been in action in the competition this season, as they needed to come through the third qualifying round. That pitted them against Slovacko, but they easily managed to pass that test as they won 4-1 on aggregate. Much of the heavy lifting was done in their home tie, as they beat their rivals 3-0. A 1-1 draw was played out in the return leg last week. It has been a long time since Austria Wien last reached the group stages of a major European tournament. Their last appearance at that stage came in the 2017-18 season, as they were eliminated in the group stage of the Europa League. The Austrian side enter the competition at this stage this season, but they certainly will need to raise their game based on the performances that they have put in domestically throughout this season. They currently sit 12th in the Austrian Bundesliga standings, and have won just once of their previous three fixtures. Fortunately, they could be hitting form at the right time, as their only win was recorded in their previous fixture against WSG Tirol over the weekend. Austria Wien vs Fenerbahce Head to Head Austria Wien and Fenerbahce are yet to meet in a European competition, which means that this will be an historic first meeting between the sides on Thursday. Austria Wien vs Fenerbahce Prediction Austria Wien’s form will be a big concern coming into this fixture, as they will need to raise their level based on the performances that we have seen in previous weeks. Therefore, the smart pick looks to be on Fenerbahce, who have already found their feet this season, and have been strong in front of goal already in the Europa League.

There will be a big Europa Conference League qualifier on Thursday night in Turkey, as Istanbul Basaksehir look to make their home advantage count as they take on Royal Antwerp. But, which side will have the upper hand before the second leg in seven days? Europa Conference League Preview Istanbul Basaksehir have been regular competitors in European competition over recent years, which includes the team reaching the Champions League group stages a few years ago. However, this season, their focus will be on the Europa Conference League after they finished 4th in the Turkish top-flight last season. Istanbul have already played in the competition this season, as they needed to make it through the second qualifying round to reach this stage. They managed to do that comfortably in the end, as they beat Breioblik 6-1 on aggregate. Istanbul were 3-1 winners away from home, before they completed the job with a 3-0 success in the return leg. Stefano Okaka, Ahmed Touba and Danijel Aleksic were among the scorers in the second tie between the sides. Royal Antwerp will be led into this season by former Dutch international Mark van Bommel, and they have already started the season well under the new coach. They currently sit top of the Belgian Pro League, and they looked more than at home in the competition as they saw off Lillestrom in the second qualifying round of the Europa Conference League. Antwerp were excellent in both legs of the previous tie, as they recorded an away 3-1 success, before completing the job back on home soil with a 2-0 success. Anthony Valencia and Birger Verstraete scored the goals in the return leg to set up this tie against their Turkish opponents. Istanbul Basaksehir vs Royal Antwerp Head to Head This will be a first competitive meeting between Istanbul Basaksehir and Royal Antwerp in European competition. However, Antwerp has a poor record against teams from Turkey, as they are winless in four previous fixtures. Istanbul Basaksehir vs Royal Antwerp Prediction This will be an entertaining fixture between the two sides, as both have strong players in the final third of the pitch. That means over 2.5 goals in the first leg could be a strong selection. However, given Antwerp’s poor record against Turkish clubs, we could see the home side taking an advantage into the second leg next week.

It has been five long years since Fiorentina last played in European competition, as they reached the round of 32 in the Europa League before losing to Borussia Monchengladbach. They will be looking to ensure their place in the Europa Conference League group stages over the next week or so with two legs against Twente. CSKA Sofia vs Basel Prediction: Conference League Match on 18.08.2022 Europa Conference League Preview It has been a slow start to the season for Fiorentina, as they have played just one fixture before this tie. However, they made a winning start to their Serie A campaign, as they saw off newly promoted Cremonese on Sunday evening with a commanding 3-2 victory. They were made to sweat against the newly promoted side, but the eventual winner was scored in the 95th minute by Rolando Mandragora. However, they look to have a forward line that looks to threaten in Europe this season, as they managed to secure the signature of Luka Jovic from Real Madrid during the transfer window. But, their first leg will be key to their chances in the tie. Twente enjoyed a fine campaign in the Dutch top-flight last season, as they managed to finish fourth. They already started their Europa Conference League qualifying campaign in solid form, as they saw off Cukaricki 7-2 on aggregate in the previous round. They picked up a 3-1 win away from home, before recording a 4-1 success back in the Netherlands. Twente come into this fixture in good confidence as they won their second league game of the campaign on Sunday. That came in the form of a commanding 3-0 success against Fortuna Sittard, with Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Joshua Brenet and Virgil Misidjan scoring the goals in the win. However, they will still need an improved performance against Fiorentina this week. Fiorentina vs Twente Head to Head Surprisingly, this will be the first meeting between the sides in European competition. However, Fiorentina’s healthy record in qualifying fixtures needs to be appreciated, as they have dominated previous ties at this stage. Fiorentina vs Twente Prediction The first leg will be crucial for Twente’s chances of qualifying for the competition, as they will likely need to go back to the Netherlands still in the tie. However, we struggle to see past Fiorentina taking back a lead of two goals or more. We could also see Jovic getting on the scoresheet for the second game running.

The Bulgarian side lost the first leg 1-0, which meant that they needed a big performance in the second leg when they played away from home. However, they eventually managed to get the win, as Ivan Turistov scored a penalty with just eight minutes remaining. Mauricio Garcez de Jesus had opened the scoring earlier in the fixture. FC Basel enjoyed a strong run to the latter stages of the Europa Conference League last season, as they made it through to the round of 16, before being beaten by Marseille.

It was a tense affair in the previous round, as Basel needed penalties to see off the challenge posed by Bondby. The Danish side took the lead in the first leg, before Basel eventually came out on top in the second leg with a 2-1 scoreline. Fabian Frei and Andi Zeqiri scored the goals to force penalties. CSKA Sofia vs Basel Head to Head These two sides have met on three previous occasions, with Basel holding the overall advantage having recorded two victories. However, the latest meeting in the Europa League came in 2020, as Sofia picked up a 3-1 away success.

Valladolid will also use set pieces and transitions to threaten the Sevilla defense. Form Guide Sevilla Lopetegui’s side had a mixed pre-season. They lost 6-0 to Arsenal in the Emirates Cup final and lost 1-0 against Leicester City in the penultimate preseason outing. Sevilla then won 1-0 against Cadiz in their last pre-season friendlies, wrapping up what had been an eventful outing for the football club. However, this form did not count for much once competitive La Liga football commenced. This was highlighted by the surprising 2-1 defeat to Osasuna, which meant that Lopetegui started the season with a loss. Valladolid Valladolid had a productive and successful preseason, going unbeaten with three wins and three draws. The wins came against Atletico Tordesillas (2-0), Unionistas (2-1), and Ponferradina (2-1).

Form Guide Monchengladbach Gladbach had two draws in their pre-season friendlies against RKC Waalwijk (1-1) and Real Sociedad (1-1) ahead of the resumption of competitive football.

Monday night football comes from Old Trafford, where struggling Manchester United aim to grab the points needed against title-hopefuls Liverpool to lift themselves off the bottom of the league. Yes, that’s right, the one great Red Devils that promised fans this was the year the good times would return are placed 20th of 20 teams with many fans and pundits in shock. The home team have failed to take a point from their opening two games, losing both and conceding six goals in the process, meaning they already find themselves six points off the pace set by last season’s champions and current favourites Manchester City with Pep Guardiola’s men hitting the front early where they plan to stay. A match against Liverpool comes at the wrong time for the locals, but these sides rarely serve up a dull match, and fans can’t wait for this renewal to get started, brightening up an otherwise quiet Monday evening of sport. The last time the Reds were at Old Trafford, they left with a jaw-dropping 5-0 victory which completed the double with the aggregate score of 9-0. Those loyal to the home dressing room won’t stand by and accept another weak performance against their rivals. Hellish start for the Red Devils Despite fans holding high hopes for the season ahead, believing this is the year their beloved club returns to the kind of consistent, trophy-winning form experienced during the Sir Alex Ferguson, things haven’t gone to plan. The Premier League giants have lost each of their opening two games of the season, edged out by a determined Brighton before suffering a heavy defeat on their first road trip of the season at Brentford in London. We may still be in the middle of August, but supporters are already becoming uneasy, calling for the heads of the managers, coaching staff, and many of his over-paid and under-achieving players. It has been a difficult last few seasons for the club as they failed to build on reaching the final of the Europa League and finishing as runners up in the EPL behind Manchester City. Last season was one to forget but fans are already fearing this season could end up worder, certainly if the opening two games are anything to go by. The 2-1 loss to Brighton at Old Trafford was bad enough but fans hadn’t seen anything yet, certainly if they thought their side couldn’t sink any lower. That 2-1 loss was followed by a humbling at Brentford last Saturday with the goals that day scored by Dasilva, Jensen, Mee and Mbeumo. The eventual winners were four goals to the good inside 35 minutes and the fear was it could be a cricket score, but The Bees lost some of their sting in the second 45, knowing the job was done and their opponents didn’t look like scoring once, let alone four times. Visitors have been red hot Liverpool pushed Manchester City hard in the second half of the season before coming up short at the finish line with the team from the Etihad Stadium holding firm to protect their lead and win two in a row. The traders and pundits have Pep’s crew as the team most likely to retain the title but Liverpool, having strengthened their squad over the summer, will have something to say about that. Jurgen Klopp lost star striker Sadio Mane to the Bundesliga but re-invested and now has a stronger, more well-rounded team. The Reds were expected to explode out of the traps and secure an opening day win and the three points away to newly promoted Fulham. Having Premier League football back at Craven Cottage was a special occasion and it seemed to inspire the Cottagers to up their game and match Liverpool stride for stride. That match in London ended level with a 2-2 result thanks to goals from Nunez and Salah who found the net to match a pair of strikes for Mitrovic, the second coming from the penalty spot on 72 minutes. The match stats showed Liverpool finished with 67% of the ball possession with 11 attempts and four corners. Despite shots at goal being into double figures, Liverpool managed to put just four on target with h...
Lovers of European football are thrilled as the top leagues and competitions are back in action. Atalanta host AC Milan in an intriguing match played on Sunday, and you can watch this one live on television from 19:45 GMT. Here we have two ambitious teams with the talent to bag all three points from this fixture, but will we see Atalanta celebrating a home win or can AC Milan leave with the spoils? Here we have a pair of high-ranking and respected clubs that are expected to be in and around the prize places this term. Both will view a top-four finish and place in next season’s UEFA Champions League as the least expected from this season. Still, AC Milan allows fans to dream a little bigger, hoping for another title challenge and a season filled with memorable moments. We’ll get a better idea of which team is better from this match. Real Sociedad v Barcelona Prediction: La Liga Match on 21.08.2022 These teams met twice last season in Serie A, and we saw AC Milan collect maximum points on both occasions, winning at home and on the road. They nicked the points in the first match thanks to a stunning 3-2 victory, but that win was more comfortable than the bare result would suggest as Milan raced into a 3-0 lead before their opponents struck back with two late goals. In the second match played in Milan, we enjoyed a 2-0 home win with both goals coming in the second 45. Atalanta off to a strong start Atalanta has become a Serie A side we are used to seeing campaigning at the top level, pushing for the prizes places both domestically and in the Champions League. A top-four finish is usually expected of them domestically. When they enjoy an outing on the continent, although they are never one of the favourites to challenge for the trophy, they are never too far down the pecking order. They are an improving side with the ability and momentum to enjoy another strong season. Beating AC Milan on Sunday would greatly boost Atalanta’s chances and ensure critics begin to take their title challenge seriously. There is no good reason at present why Atalanta can’t go and challenge for the Serie A gong. They have the class and potential to do just that, and if they can nail down the kind of consistency needed, we expect to see them breathing down the necks of the top teams this season. We’ll get more of an idea of what to expect from Atalanta this season following this match. Atalanta set the ball rolling with a win on matchday one, picking up all three points and settling into that top-four berth fans are targeting again this season. They started the season with a trip to Sampdoria last Saturday, where they won 2-0 thanks to goals from Toloi and Lookman, although the second was scored deep into injury time at the end of the match. It was tighter than the final score suggests, but there was no denying Atalanta deserved their winning start to the season, and there’s more to come from them. AC Milan bag three points Like their opponents, AC Milan got off to a dream start by collecting a win at the earliest opportunity and setting out their stall for the season ahead. They were one of the pre-season favourites to win the Serie A title again, with many respected pundits and their many fans worldwide hoping AC have what it takes to deliver the title. The league won’t be won and lost in this match, but we will see the visitors grow in confidence and match sharpness. If they are at their best, there’s no reason why AC Milan can’t go and score a few goals here. Milan enjoyed a home advantage over Udinese last Saturday, and they had no trouble making it count, winning the points and turning on the style. AC was one of the most impressive teams in Italian football on matchday one, and that will not surprise anyone who watched them play last season. This is a squad packed with talent with experience in winning major trophies. That won’t be evident until later in the season, but the squad have already shown they are up to the challenge. It was Udinese th...
We enter round two of the new Spanish La Liga season with a full programme of matches played from Friday to Monday in what promises to be an action-packed weekend. Three games go ahead on Sunday, with the main attraction pairing Real Sociedad and Barcelona from 21:00 GMT. This match will be played before a sell-out audience, boosted by the millions of armchair fans following live on television. Real Sociedad enjoy home advantage as their fans prepare to support the team, hoping to cheer them on to a huge three points. To achieve that, Sociedad must defeat a new-look Barcelona side that, somehow, managed to strengthen their squad in the off-season despite having several restrictions hanging over them. This will be a fiercely competitive match, and although many pundits have picked Barca to win on the road while their new starts settle in, this could be an ideal time for Real Sociedad to score an upset. Sociedad and Barca are no strangers to meeting in competitive action, with the rivals involved in two La Liga meetings, with Barcelona doing the double, collecting a maximum of six points. The first meeting was played at the Camp Nou, where the hosts ran out convincing 4-2 victors before edging a 1-0 win at this venue. The head-to-head stats show Barca has dominated this fixture over the years with 37 wins, eight for Real Sociedad, and a dozen draws. Real race off to a winning start Real Sociedad was one of just seven La Liga clubs who were good enough to bag the winning start everyone connected to the club had been dreaming of. This promises to be a big season, and with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid all strengthening in the summer, fans are expecting a fiercely competitive and entertaining campaign. Real Sociedad is one of the clubs pundits expect to be challenging for the European places, and they bagged three points at the first time of asking thanks to a 1-0 victory achieved over Cadiz last Sunday. That was a match they were expected to win, despite being on the road, and full credit must go to the players for getting the result they were after, keeping a clean sheet and picking up three points at the earliest opportunity. Kubo was the player that made the difference on that visit to Cadiz, scoring what proved to be the winning goal with 24 minutes on the clock to edge their noses in front. Real Sociedad created enough chances to get the second and put this game to bed, but they are still lacking a bit of sharpness in attacking areas of the field, something that will improve the more games they play. This is a team that, if playing to the best of their ability, is a match for any opponent in Spain. Barcelona is back in business Barcelona endured a torrid time of things last year as they lost star player and fans’ favourite Lionel Messi to PSG. The club’s millions of followers hope for a reunion with the little magician one day. Still, the move was needed to help balance the books and bring the club in line with financial fair play rules and the penalties imposed for spending years on the edge, pushing their luck with overspending and running at a sizeable loss. This time last year, Barcelona was feeling sorry for themselves. Although they eventually found their feet and secured a decent finish in La Liga – without troubling eventual champions Real Madrid – it was a difficult opening few weeks. They failed to get off the mark with a win on matchday one, held to a draw, meaning they were one of six teams from the top tier of Spanish football that collected a point on matchday one, although fans will view it as dropping two points. This is a club that, even in its darkest hour, maintains high standards and even higher expectations. Barca enjoyed home advantage for their opening match, and with Rayo Vallecano, the opposition, a win for the locals at the Camp Nou was expected. Barca ended that match with 10 men following the sending off of Busquets for a second bookable offence, but that came too late in the day to...
Europa Conference League qualifying action takes place on Thursday, as FC Köln look to take a first leg lead against Fehervar. The German side will be the clear favourites to progress in the tie, and their form at the start of the new Bundesliga season has been very strong. West Ham vs Viborg Prediction: Conference League Match on 18.08.2022 Europa Conference League Qualifier Preview FC Köln will be looking to reach the group stages of a European competition for the first time since the 2017-18 season. They last competed in the Europa League during that campaign, but their record of four defeats from six games meant that they crashed out, finishing third in the overall standings. This will also be the first time that they have played in the Europa Conference League. They should come into the fixture in good confidence, as they have started the new Bundesliga season in fine form. Köln are unbeaten in the two games that they have played, and they currently sit fourth in the league standings at this early stage. In their previous fixture, they came back from 2-1 down against RB Leipzig to rescue a point. Fehervar have already managed to improve on their showing in this competition last season, as they crashed out in the first qualifying round 12 months ago. They have looked much stronger this term, as they reached the third qualifying round following a 5-3 aggregate success against Gabala. They produced one of their finest displays in recent memory in Europe last time out in the third qualifying round, as they recorded a massive 5-0 success at home against Petroclub Hincesti. Fehervar completed the job in the second leg with a 2-1 success on the road. Budi Zivzivadze was the danger man in that recent win, as he scored both goals. However, they will need to bounce back to form after losing 4-0 against Ferencvaros at the weekend. FC Köln vs Fehervar Head to Head This will be a first competitive meeting between the two sides. However, Fehervar do have a solid record against teams from Germany, as they are unbeaten in two previous meetings. FC Köln vs Fehervar Prediction While Fehervar has a strong record against clubs from Germany, it doesn’t look as though FC Köln will lose this fixture. They have already started the domestic campaign in strong form, and we could easily see them picking up a 3-0 home success on Thursday. Make sure to bet on FC Köln vs Fehervar with 22Bet!
Maccabi Haifa will play the first leg of their playoff round tie against Crvena Zvezda in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. Both sides would have been happy with the draw, as they avoided many of the big hitters in the draw, but which side could be best positioned to get the win and take a step closer towards the Champions League group stages? Dynamo Kyiv vs Benfica Prediction: Champions League Match on 17.08.2022 Champions League Qualifier Preview Maccabi Haifa have been very professional in the early rounds of Champions League qualification this season, as they have successfully navigated a tricky looking run of fixtures. In the second qualifying round, they came up against Greek giants Olympiacos, eventually running out 5-1 winners on aggregate. Their performance in the second leg of the tie was excellent, as they recorded a famous 4-0 away success. Frantzdy Pierrot scored twice in five second half minutes, while Tjaronn Chery and Mohammad Abu Fani also scored in the win. They were dominant once again in the previous round, as they took a 4-0 lead into the second leg against Apollon. However, they were made to sweat in that fixture, as they fell 2-0 behind in the opening 25 minutes. But, they were able to regain their composure and hold on. This could be a better draw for Crvena Zvezda in the third qualifying round. The Serbian domestic leaders only entered the competition in the previous round, and they made very light work of Pyunik. Zvezda were excellent in the first leg, as they ran out easy 5-0 winners in front of their home fans. Osman Bukari scored an excellent hat-trick, while further goals were scored by Kings Kangwa and Stefan Mitrovic. Zvezda eased to victory in the second leg with a 2-0 success, with the goals being scored by Guelor Kanga and Milan Pavkov. Maccabi Haifa vs Crvena Zvezda Head to Head This will be an historic fixture in the Champions League, as it will be the first time that these two sides have met. However, Maccabi has only won once in four fixtures in Europe against teams from Serbia. Maccabi Haifa vs Crvena Zvezda Prediction This could be a tie that could go either way. However, Zvezka’s performances already in the competition this season could make them very dangerous opponents for Maccabi. Therefore, we could see the away side getting the victory in the first leg. Make sure to bet on Maccabi Haifa vs Crvena Zvezda with 22Bet!
Champions League qualifying action takes place on Wednesday evening, as Benfica look to achieve another strong showing in the competition. Lasts season, the Portuguese side managed to reach the quarterfinals, before being beaten by Liverpool. Champions League Qualifier Preview Dynamo Kyiv return to action in Europe this week, as they continue to play their home games in Poland. The Ukrainian side have a distinct disadvantage this week, as they are not playing regularly in competitive fixtures due to the Ukrainian Premier League being paused due to the ongoing conflict in their home country. However, they haven’t looked short of match practise in reaching this stage of the Champions League qualifiers, as they have already made it past the second and third qualifying rounds. In the first qualifying round, they managed to see off Fenerbahce in a commanding fashion. After a 0-0 draw in the first leg, they won away from home 2-1. Once again, it was their strong away form that got them over the line in the third qualifying round, as they beat Sturm Graz 2-1 last week. Benfica pose a much different challenge this week, as the Portuguese side have already looked incredibly strong in the competition this season. They will be looking for another strong showing in the Champions League this term after they reached the quarterfinals in 2021-22. The Portuguese giants managed to see off Midtylland in the previous round, eventually winning 7-2 on aggregate. Benfica took a healthy advantage from the first leg, with Goncalo Ramos scoring a hat-trick, and Enzo Fernandez also finding the back of the net. Fernandez also scored the second leg, as Benfica ran out 3-1 winners in Denmark. The other goals in the victory were scored by Henrique Araujo and Diogo Goncalves. Dynamo Kyiv vs Benfica Head to Head These two sides have met on six previous occasions in the Champions League. Kyiv have picked up just one victory previously, while Benfica has recorded four victories. The most recent meeting between the sides came on matchday six of the competition last season, with Benfica running out as 2-0 winners. Dynamo Kyiv vs Benfica Prediction The games last season highlight the size of the challenge on Kyiv’s hands to reach the group stages this season. Benfica have already been formidable in front of goal in the competition this season, and we could see them taking a 2-0 lead into the return leg. Make sure to bet on Dynamo Kyiv vs Benfica with 22Bet!
It has been a long time since Rangers were last involved in the Champions League group stages, and they will face a huge test to end their ten-year wait this season. They will come up against PSV in the final qualifying round, with the Dutch side looking to reach the group stages for the first time since the 2018-19 season. Bodo/Glimt vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction: Champions League Match on 16.08.2022 Champions League Qualifier Preview It has been a strong start to the season for Rangers, as they look to build on a memorable campaign in 2021-22. While they may have lost the SPL title, their run to the Europa League final was one of the stories of the campaign. However, the Gers were ultimately beaten in the final by Eintracht Frankfurt, which meant that they needed to enter the competition in the third qualifying round this season. There may have been fears that Rangers were going to crash out in embarrassing fashion after a 2-0 away defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise at the start of August, but they responded well with a 3-0 success in the second leg. Their league form has been strong so far this season, as they have won their previous two league games without conceding a goal. This will not be an easy challenge for Rangers, as PSV certainly look to have a built a reliable team this season. They beat Ajax in the Johan Cruijff Shield in July, and overcame a very big challenge in the third qualifying round against Monaco. There was little to separate the sides in the first leg, as Joey Veerman scored for the Dutch side in a 1-1 draw. However, PSV made their home advantage count in the return leg, with Luuk de Jong scoring the winning goal in the 109th minute to book their place in the playoff round. Rangers vs PSV Head To Head The two sides have met in the Champions League on four previous occasions. Rangers have picked up three wins, while there has also been one draw. The most recent meeting came in the 1999-00 season, as Rangers ran out comfortable 4-1 winners. Rangers vs PSV Prediction Rangers will need to make their home advantage count in order for them to stand the best chance of progression. We could see this being a very interesting fixture between the sides, but the most likely outcome may be the draw. Make sure to bet on Rangers vs PSV with 22Bet!
Important action in the Champions League takes place on Tuesday, as the first legs in the playoff round will take place. Bodo/Glimt enjoyed a memorable campaign in the Europa Conference League last term, but they will need to be at their best to see off Dinamo Zagreb to earn a place in the Champions League group stages. Rangers vs PSV Prediction: Champions League Match on 16.08.2022 Champions League Qualifier Preview Bodo/Glimt will be looking to qualify for the Champions League group stages for the first time in their history this season. They have already needed to navigate rounds since the first qualifying round this term, but their form has been incredibly strong. The Norwegian side managed to outclass Ko Klaksvik and Linfield in the first two rounds, scoring 12 goals and conceding just four. In the previous round, they once again showed their quality in the final third, as they eased past Zalgris for the second straight season in Europe. Much of the hard work was done in the first leg of that tie, as Bodo/Glimt ran out 5-0 winners. Hugo Veltesen, Lars Jorgen Salvesen and Runar Espejord were among the scorers in the win. Dinamo Zagreb have needed to do things the hard way in the Champions League this season, but their away form has been evident throughout the early rounds. In the previous round, they needed to see off Ludogorets, and they made their advantage count away from home with a 2-1 win. They were able to ease through back at home in the second leg, as Mislav Orsic scored twice in a 4-2 win. Zagreb last qualified for the Champions League group stages in 2019-20, as they finished fourth in the group. However, they showed their prowess at this level with a 4-0 home success against Atalanta, and draws against Shakhtar Donetsk. Bodo/Glimt vs Dinamo Zagreb Head to Head Dinamo Zagreb and Bodo/Glimt are yet to meet in a competitive fixture throughout their histories. However, Zagreb’s strong record in Champions League qualification over the past five years could give them the upper hand. Bodo/Glimt vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction Bodo/Glimt’s excellent home record in Europe over the past two seasons could be an important factor to consider this week. They have already dominated fixture at home this season in the competition, and they will likely need to pick up the victory on Tuesday to stand any chance of reaching the group stages this season. We could see them taking a lead into the second leg. Make sure to bet on Bodo/Glimt vs Dinamo Zagreb with 22Bet!
Welcome to our first big-match preview of the new English Premier League season. An enthralling 90 minutes is expected in London, where Tottenham Hotspur play host to a Wolves side expected to struggle this season. It has been a challenging last few seasons for followers of Spurs as they have watched the club open a brand-new, amazing stadium, but the level of play on the pitch has failed to live up to the surroundings so far. Followers want to see their club back competing for a top-four finish in the division and a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League. To give themselves the best chance of that, they must make their home field a fortress, starting here. Tottenham is the favourites with most respected EPL pundits who predict the points will rest in London at full-time, but bettors shouldn’t be too quick in writing off a Wolves side without a win in two and already battling to keep the bottom three at arm’s length. Spurs take four points from six The pressure was on this Tottenham side ahead of the new season as fans were growing tired of below-par performances. The club and its fans set themselves high standards, especially in England. After finishing as the Champions League runners-up a few seasons ago, they want to be back contesting major honours. Is this the year Spurs challenge for the title? That remains to be seen, and only time will tell if this group of players has what it takes to find the consistency needed to turn on the style at home and dig deep to win on the road. Consistency is something that has held the club back in recent times, but they must settle into a rhythm early if they have aspirations of troubling the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool, who are the two early favourites. The hosts are unbeaten in the opening two games of their domestic campaign, taking four points from a total of six that were available to them. They claimed victory in their opening match when thrashing Southampton 4-1 when last at this venue and earned a draw at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, ending 2-2 with Chelsea in a game that was played on the edge for 90 minutes. Spurs beat Wolves this time last season when leaving Molineaux with a 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from Delle Ali, who struck from the penalty spot on 10 minutes. Each of the last three league games involving these teams has seen at least one fail to find the net. Wolves hobble early When making their predictions in pre-season, even the most enthusiastic of fans expected Wolves to struggle this term. Their time challenging for the major places in the league and flying the flag for English football in the Europa League are a thing of the past, according to the club’s growing number of critics. Still, we already know it’s dangerous to dismiss Wolves. They haven’t started too well, picking up just one of the first six Premier League points that were available to them, following a draw with defeat last weekend. They opened their campaign with a narrow 2-1 loss away to Leeds United at Elland Road before being held to a goalless finish at home by Fulham last time; the point gained moving them to 14th in the table, one point above bottom club Manchester United. That match against The Cottagers was one Wolverhampton Wanderers were favourites to win, but they lacked the composure and goal-scoring threat to turn possession and chances into goals. That’s something the coaching staff will be working hard to remedy, knowing a weak attack will land them in a world of trouble this season. Tottenham v Wolves Prediction Spurs are the home team for this match, and the fans packing the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be there to demand another victory. Three points added to the four they already have against their name will ensure the Londoners remain hot on the heels of the early leaders, with just two teams – champions Manchester City and Arsenal – holding onto their 100% record. Wolves have struggled so far, scoring just one goal and failing to win either of their opening...
After getting off to a flying win in their first La Liga match of the season, triumphing 0-3 against Valladolid, Villarreal’s attention will switch to the Europa Conference League when they host the Croatian First League side Hajduk Split at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia on Thursday at 19:45GMT. West Ham vs Viborg Prediction: Conference League Match on 18.08.2022 Match Preview Can Villarreal Extend their La Liga Form to the UEFA Europa Conference League? Unai Emery’s side will be looking to extend their positive start to the season with a win against the Croatian side to progress from the play-offs. A win will especially be crucial ahead of the second leg of the tie in Croatia next week. Villarreal will also be looking to give some players a run-out as they seek to bolster the squad’s fitness ahead of a long season. Playing at home, Emery’s side will seek to dominate the ball and ensure they get a commanding win to take to Croatia next week. Can Hajduk Split Pull of an Upset Away to Villarreal? Hajduk will be looking for an upset result in Spain on Thursday. Villarreal is an established European side with an experienced manager who has won European titles. Their work will be cut out as they travel to Spain ahead of the second leg next week in Croatia. The focus will be to get a positive result to bring home if they are to stand a chance of causing an upset. Hajduk will focus on being solid and compact against Villarreal to ensure they keep the score line positive or get a chance to grab a counter-attack goal. Form Guide Villarreal After finishing their pre-season schedule with impressive wins against Levante (3-1) and Inter Milan (2-4), Villarreal extend their form into their opening match away at Valladolid with a commanding 0-3 win. Unai Emery’s side scored three goals and kept a clean sheet, which bodes well for the team ahead of the season where they are expected to challenge for Champions League qualification. With substitute Alex Baena grabbing a brace, Emery showed that his bench can be impactful, and many of the substitutes made a case for inclusion in the clash with Hajduk Split on Thursday. Hajduk Split Hajduk have won two and lost one of their opening matches in the Croatian League 1. Last season’s runners-up in the Croatian League will be looking to do one better this season. Hajduk will be looking to bounce back from the comprehensive 4-1 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb when they meet on Thursday. Hajduk will also be looking to bolster their away from after they lost 1-0 away to Vitoria SC in the second leg of the third qualifying round. Possible Starting Lineups Villarreal Rulli; Alfonso, P. Torres, R. Albiol, J. Foyth; F. Coquelin, D. Parejo, E. Capoue, Y. Pino; N. Jackson, G. Moreno Hajduk Split Kalinic; S. SImic, C. Awaziem, T. Borevkovic; D. Colina, L. Grgic, J. Atanasov, G. Lovrencsics; F. Krovinovic; S. Biuk, M. Livaja Players to Watch G. Moreno The 30-year-old Spanish striker is Villarreal’s talisman as he leads the line alongside Jackson in the twin attack preferred by Unai Emery. His clever movement inside and outside the box is crucial in opening up spaces for other attacking players for Villarreal. His aerial prowess allows the team to play the long out-ball from the back to their striker. Moreno’s link-up play is crucial in ensuring the Villarreal attack works and bringing other players into play in the attacking phase. His experience is also crucial for the team in performing under pressure and bringing a cutting edge in front of a goal. M. Livaja The Croatian forward is a crucial cog for Hajduk as they seek to upset Villarreal. He has pace, creative movement, aerial threat, and a predatory presence in the penalty box. With Hajduk playing with a back-three, Livaja’s role at the tip of their attack is crucial in ensuring that the system works and that the team poses an attacking threat going forward. Livaja, alongside S. Biuk and Krovinovic, will be central to Hajduk’s attacking game plan. Prediction Vill...
After a nightmare start to their English Premier League campaign with two losses out of two, West Ham will welcome a chance to turn their attention to the Conference League when they host Danish side Viborg FF on Thursday at the London Stadium at 19:45GMT. Match Preview Can West Ham get their First Competitive Win this Season? David Moyes will be looking to bolster his side’s form as he switches attention to the Conference League. After losing 2-0 against the Champions Manchester City in the opening match, they followed that up with a 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest last weekend. The Hammers will be looking to gain some confidence and sharpness in the clash with Viborg as they seek to kick-start their season into gear in the Conference League and the Premier League as well. Moyes will also be looking to bed in some of his new signings while also balancing the need to give other players match fitness in these early-season matches. Can Viborg Cause an Upset at the London Stadium? Viborg are currently fourth on the Danish league log with 9 points after five matches. They are four points behind league leader Nordsjaelland. Viborg have also won two consecutive matches after they lost 1-0 to Nordsjaelland in the league. They will be looking to leverage this good run of form in their clash with West Ham in London. The focus will be on containing West Ham’s attacking players from posing problems to their defense. Therefore, they will emphasize a compact and solid approach to the match at the London Stadium. Form Guide West Ham The Hammers have lost two matches out of two in a nightmare start to the season for David Moyes’ men. They have conceded three goals and scored none in their first two outings in the league. David Moyes will be looking to pick up the confidence of his players, especially after losing away to newly promoted Nottingham Forest. West Ham will need to balance defense and attack as they seek to jolt their season into life when they face Viborg in the Conference League on Thursday. Viborg In the league, Viborg have won three and lost twice in the opening five matches in the Danish League. Their 9 points place them fourth on the table, four points behind Nordsjaelland – the league leaders. In the previous playoff round, Viborg eliminated B36 with a 3-0 win at home and a 2-1 triumph away from home. They will be looking to extend their good form to the clash with West Ham on Thursday, as they seek a positive result to take into next week’s second leg clash in Denmark/. Possible Starting Lineups West Ham Fabianski; A. Cresswell, B. Johnson, K. Zouma, V. Coufal; D. Rice, T. Soucek; P. Fornals, S. Benrahma, J. Bowen; G. Scamacca Viborg L. Pedersen; D. Anyembe, N. Burgy, Z. Zaletel, C. Sorensen; J. B. Jensen, J. Gronning, C. Leemans; I. M. Said, J. Grot, J. Lonwijk Players to Watch G. Scamacca Although the 32-year-old Michail Antonio has led the attacking line for West Ham in the first two matches in the Premier League, Scamacca is expected to be brought into the team against Viborg as he acclimatizes to West Ham’s approach to play. The Italian, who a host of European clubs wanted before switching to West Ham, will be expected to hit the ground immediately as David Moyes’ side seeks to turn their poor form around quickly. The striker will offer pace, mobility, creative movement, and brilliant link-up play with the other attacking players as they seek to take a commanding lead ahead of the second leg match away in Denmark next week. J. Grot The Dutch striker is an essential cog for Viborg as he leads the line with his pace, movement, and cutting edge in front of the goal. Grot will be crucial for Viborg in the match against West Ham because the Londoners are expected to dominate proceedings and possession, which means that quick counter-attacks and set pieces will offer the best chance for Viborg to grab a goal. Grot will offer the aerial threat and link-up play they need to be dangerous at the London Stadium on Thursday. P...

22Bet Kamila Smogulecka is an extremely outrageous and prominent figure on the Internet. She changed many professions: singer, actress, model, blogger. Gaining great popularity after becoming an MMA fighter, now Kamila earns a living by fighting in popular events and posting videos on her Tik Tok account. However, little is known about Camila’s past despite her great popularity in female MMA. So, we’ve decided to compile a detailed biography of the athlete for all interested fans. Kamila Smogulecka Bio The future star of sport and the blogosphere was born on October 12, 1995, in the Polish city of Lodz and was named Karolina at birth. The first fame came to Smogulecka at 17, when the girl starred in the video of the Polish singer Donatan. A year later, Karolina appeared in the video of this artist for the song My Slowianie (“We are Slavs”), which represented Poland at the Eurovision 2014 contest in Denmark. The video has gained immense popularity, collecting 82 million views. At the same time, Carolina, who was fond of esotericism and magic, also showed her love for pseudonyms: the girl made her debut on the screens under the name of Luxuria Astarot, which she took from demonology. A memorable appearance has become a pass for young talent in the modeling business. After some time, Kamila was invited to star in the full-length Polish film The Promise. When the first, vivid interest in the person of Smoguletskaya faded away, the rising diva felt that no one needed her. Immediately she tried to show even more outrageous behavior. She also began to seek solace in alcohol and drugs. It got to the point where medical intervention was needed: luckily, Camila’s mother convinced her to go into therapy. Does Camille Have a Boyfriend? Who Camilla’s boyfriend is a big secret. It is surprising that such a sociable, outrageous girl decided to hide such an important part of her personal life. But maybe she doesn’t have a boyfriend right now and that would perfectly explain the lack of information. In any case, there is no news about her personal life yet. Maybe it will change in the future. Statistics Here are some facts about Camilla’s fighting career: The debut in the lightest weight category of a new MMA fighter with a more experienced athlete, blogger Marta Linkevich, took place in the spring of 2020 and ended with the defeat of Kamila. Kamila won the next fight: in a meeting with model and fitness trainer Dagmara Shevchik, Zusya was stronger. In the spring of 2021, she lost to the Polish Instagram model Kamila Vybranchik. In the fall, she became the winner in a battle against blogger Martha Rentel. She also fought to a draw with a less-popular Polish woman fighter. Follow Camilla at !

The FIFA 23 game would be the last rabbit to pop out of EA Sports’ hat. With the addition of female football leagues and the World Cup tournament, the gaming company aims to go out with a bang. This assertion implies that there would not be a next EA Sports FIFA game. The ideology is to provide a last feature upgrade and tweaks to the previous FIFA years before heading out to create its own EA Sports FC. However, it is noteworthy that a mobile version remains far from reality. FIFA 23 release date EA stipulated the FIFA 2023 release date for September 30, 2023. However, an earlier date was assigned for individuals who would love to purchase the FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition. As a result, the release was earmarked for September 27. FIFA 23 features It has been previously anticipated that the new FIFA game will be free to play. However, this is a hoax, as gamers would pay for the FIFA edition. Regardless, this upcoming game edition is anticipated to include about 19,000 players and 700 teams. In addition, the game would consist of up to 100 stadiums and 30 league competitions. There are new features to look out for. Generally, the game features include cross-play, world cup features, women’s league additions, graphical customisations, Iconic players, and other unconfirmed features. Cross-play feature EA made the test run for this feature through the FIFA 22 edition. However, the cross-play feature is available for access on PS5, PC, and Xbox series X/S. In addition, this feature is made available on PS4 and Xbox One. World cup feature FIFA 23 will feature the Men’s and Women’s World Cup competitions. The FIFA 2023 location for the cup modes is set in Qatar, New Zealand, and Australia. In addition, other in-game sport features like schedule, fixtures, tables, and many more are available. Women’s League The first women’s championship competition to feature in the game would be the Barclays Women Super League. This addition was made in a bid to support the development of the women’s football competitions in England and all over the world at large. Gamers could access league and player information, among other in-game features like predictions, draw, live stats, and match statistics. Graphical customizations The FIFA 23 game has received some tweaks to its gameplay and scenery during match day. Features like the time and replay displays have been improved considerably. Also, gamers can customize further for chosen teams and selected players in various modes in the game. New cover stars The FIFA 23 game has included Kylian Mbappe for the third year in a row as one of the cover stars for the game. In addition to the French and PSG forward, Sam Kerr – the Chelsea and Australian forward, has been named the latest star on the game cover. Iconic players To the Ultimate team, there will be the addition of iconic players, with some new names in the acquisition to be expected. However, it is assumed that there are still some new names to appear on the list of icons yet to be announced by EA. Player position changes It is expected that there are some changes to come to the playing position of some players. For instance, Jao Cancelo’s position may be changed from RB to LB, among others. EA will make formal announcements on these adjustments in August.

The final round of group stage fixtures at the women’s European Championships this summer conclude on Monday evening, as Group D comes to a close. Everything is still to play for, as Italy, Belgium and Iceland can still finish in second place and qualify for the knockout round. Women’s EURO 2022 Preview A huge showdown is set for the final game in Group D, as Italy and Belgium clash at the Academy Stadium in Manchester. Realistically, both sides could qualify for the knockout round with a victory on Monday, as Iceland face the daunting task against France, who have already won the group and ensured their place in the next round of the competition. Italy are currently bottom of the standings in Group D, as they have picked up just a single point at the EUROs this summer. After a 5-1 defeat against France on matchday one, they needed a response in their second game. It wasn’t exactly the result that they were looking for, as they could only draw 1-1 against Iceland. They fell behind early in that game, but eventually levelled the scores with half an hour remaining. However, they couldn’t find a second goal to take maximum points and put themselves in the driving seat. Belgium are in a slightly better position than Italy coming into this final group game, as they have a superior goal difference. That means that a draw may be enough for them as long as France beat Iceland by at least two goals. Belgium also have only one point on the board at this stage, with that point being picked up in their first fixture against Iceland. However, they produced an excellent display against France on matchday two, as they only lost 2-1 against one of the favourites for the competition this summer. Italy vs Belgium Head to Head Belgium and Italy have met on three previous occasions. Belgium has the better overall record, as they have won on two occasions. Meanwhile, Italy’s only win in this fixture came in the form of a 2-1 success in April 2018. The last meeting between the sides was played in September 2018, with Belgium running out 2-1 winners. Italy vs Belgium Prediction This fixture could easily go either way, as both sides will fancy their chances of getting the win. However, the slight preference is for Belgium, who have produced two strong performances at the EUROs this summer, and appear to have better quality across the field. Make sure to bet on Italy vs Belgium with 22Bet!
The final round of fixtures in Group B take place on Saturday. There is still work for Spain to do, as they will need a positive result against Denmark to assure their passage through to the next round. Denmark could still cause an upset against one of the pre-tournament favourites, as victory for them would seal second place in the group. Switzerland vs Netherlands Prediction: Women’s EURO 2022 Match on 17.07.2022 Women’s EURO 2022 Preview Spain were one of the clear favourites to win the Women’s EUROs this summer. However, they could face a fight to even make the knockout round in the competition this year. They come into their final group stage game sitting second in the standings, and will need to pick up at least a draw to ensure their passage as runners-up behind Germany. Spain got off to a perfect start with a 4-1 success against Finland last week. However, there were still questions surrounding their attack, as they looked too narrow for large parts of that game against their rivals. Defensively, they looked vulnerable as they conceded after just 60 seconds, and that was once again a very weak point in their second group stage game against Germany, as they were beaten 2-0 on Tuesday. The door is firmly open for Denmark to try and book an unlikely passage through to the knockout round. They currently sit third, but have an inferior goal difference after their 4-0 defeat against Germany on matchday one. However, they should be confident coming into this fixture as they picked up a morale-boosting success against Finland last time out. They were made to work extremely hard to get the win in that fixture, with the only goal coming with just under 20 minutes remaining through Pernille Harder. Denmark will be hoping for another dream run in the competition this year after reaching the final in 2017. Denmark vs Spain Head to Head There have been two meetings between the sides since 2013. The most recent fixture came in June 2021, as Spain ran out 3-1 winners. The previous meeting ended in a 2-2 draw in 2013. Denmark vs Spain Prediction This could be a very tight game this weekend, as both sides have strengths that could worry their rival. We would be most wary about the weak Spanish defence, and that could lead to Denmark getting a number of chances. However, the Spanish quality in the final third could save them, and we could see a score draw being the outcome. Make sure to bet on Denmark vs Spain with 22Bet!
A wide-open Group C at Women’s EURO 2022 comes to a close on Sunday, as Sweden look to confirm their passage through to the next round with victory against Portugal. However, their opponents still have hopes of reaching the next round themselves. Switzerland vs Netherlands Prediction: Women’s EURO 2022 Match on 17.07.2022 Women’s EURO 2022 Preview Group C has been a very tight affair, and all four teams involved could yet finish in the top two places and move through to the knockout stages. However, Sweden is one of the best placed teams to achieve that finish, as they sit second at present. They also hold the honour of having made it out of the group stages at every European Championship that they have qualified for. Sweden have been regular players in the final stages in each of the previous five editions, as they have at least made it through to the quarterfinals. They picked up a first win at EURO 2022 last time out, as they managed to pick up a 2-1 victory against Switzerland. Fridolina Roflo opened the scoring, before the Swiss immediately hit back. However, they were able to get the win as Hanna Bennison scored the winner with ten minutes remaining. This is only Portugal’s second appearance at the European Championships, and they will be looking to make it out of the group stages for the very first time. Their performances have been impressive throughout the first two games that they have played, as they have scored four goals. However, there are certainly defensive issues that need to be amended, as they have conceded five times. Three of those came in a very entertaining fixture against the Netherlands last time out, as they were eventually beaten 3-2 by the defending champions. Carole Costa and Diana Silva scored the goals in defeat. Sweden vs Portugal Head to Head There have been three matches between these nations since 2019. Portugal’s only win against Sweden came in 2019, as they won 2-1 in a Portuguese Algarve Cup fixture. However, Sweden have won the previous two without conceding a goal. Their latest win was a 4-0 success in February. Sweden vs Portugal Prediction Portugal have been a very entertaining team to watch in the competition this summer, but they will need to improve defensively if they are to test the best teams in the world. Sweden has better quality across the field, and I would expect them to round off the group stage with a comfortable 3-1 win. Make sure to bet on Sweden vs Portugal with 22Bet!
There is still work to do for the defending champions, as their place in the knockout round still isn’t assured coming into the final matchday. The Netherlands will be aware that a point will do, but they be chasing maximum points against Switzerland at Bramall Lane on Sunday. Women’s EURO 2022 Preview It has been far from an ideal defence of their title by the Netherlands so far at the European Championships. Injuries and cases of COVID-19 have negatively impacted their chances, as they have been forced to play weakened sides in each of their opening two fixtures. However, they are still sitting top of Group C with a three point cushion over Portugal and Switzerland. The Dutch picked up a first win at the EUROs this year on Wednesday evening, as they claimed maximum points in a hugely entertaining game against Portugal. Damaris Egurrola opened the scoring after seven minutes, before Stefanie van der Gragt doubled the lead after 16 minutes. However, Portugal hit back with goals either side of the half time break to level the scores. The Netherlands weren’t to be denied the win in the end though, as Danielle van de Donk struck the winner with half an hour remaining. Switzerland have never made it out of the group stages at the Women’s EUROs, and they appear to have a difficult challenge in overturning that run this year. They will need to win on Sunday, and also ensure that there is at least a two-goal swing in their favour over either the Dutch or Sweden. They have picked up just one point in the competition this year, with that coming following their 2-2 draw against Portugal on matchday one. The Swiss were beaten for the first time at the competition last time out, as they lost 2-1 against Sweden. Switzerland vs Netherlands Head to Head The Swiss have failed to beat the Netherlands in the previous five meetings between the sides. The Dutch have picked up three wins, while two meetings have ended in draws. Their last meeting came in November 2018, as the sides played out a 1-1 draw. That stalemate ended a run of three straight victories for the Netherlands. Switzerland vs Netherlands Prediction Despite all the injury and COVID-19 cases, the Dutch is still able to field an extremely strong side. Therefore, we can’t see them facing too many issues against the Swiss on Sunday, and we could see them picking up a comfortable 2-0 win. Make sure to bet on Switzerland vs Netherlands with 22Bet!
The final games in the group stages are played towards the end of the week, beginning on Friday with a one-match shootout between Austria and Norway for a place in the next round. Both sides have already lost to England, but victory for either would assure their passage through to the next round. Women’s EURO 2022 Preview There will be a one-match shootout in Group A on Friday, as the nation joining England in the knockout round will be determined. Austria currently holds the advantage of sitting in second, and they will be aware that a draw will be enough to take them through to the next round. They sit in that position courtesy of the healthy goal difference that they hold over Norway. Austria posed questions for England on matchday one, but they were ultimately beaten 1-0 on opening night at Old Trafford. However, they managed to record a first victory of EURO 2022 on the second matchday, as they managed to claim a 2-0 victory against Northern Ireland. Katharina Schiechtl opened the scoring after 20 minutes, but they needed to wait until two minutes from time to wrap up the win, with Katharina Elisa Naschenweng scoring the second goal. Norway have only been knocked out at the group stage on two occasions since 1987. However, they have already bettered their performance from 2017, where they lost all three games without scoring a single goal. They got off to a solid start with a 4-1 victory against Northern Ireland, but one of the dark horses were brought straight back down to earth on matchday two. Norway were hammered 8-0 at the Amex by England, which was their biggest ever defeat in an international fixture. It was a night to forget for Norway, as they managed just 35% of the possession, and recorded just one single shot on target. A response will be needed against Austria. Austria vs Norway Head to Head Norway hold a very commanding record in the previous meetings between the sides, as they have won 12 of the previous 14 meetings. The most recent meeting between the sides came in qualifying for EURO 2017, as Austria picked up a 2-2 draw on the road. That ended a three-match winning run for Norway. Austria vs Norway Prediction Norway got their tactics completely wrong against England, and I would expect them to bounce back on Friday. The preference is for Norway to get the win that they need to qualify for the next round, and that could be done with a 2-0 scoreline. Make sure to bet on Austria vs Norway with 22Bet!
Group C at Women’s EURO 2022 looks wide open after matchday one, with all four teams still having a solid chance of progressing through to the next round. However, for the defending champions, they will be expecting to get a first win at this year’s competition on Wednesday. Women’s EURO 2022 Preview The Netherlands are still heavily fancied to go very deep at the EUROs this summer, but they will be hoping for a much better performance than they delivered on matchday one. They are fancied to get maximum points in their second group stage game, as they come up against a lowly-ranked Portugal. The Netherlands and Sweden played out the best-quality game of the EUROs so far last weekend, and few would argue against the belief that we could see them clash once again later in the tournament. Sweden took the lead in the fixture after just 35 minutes, as Jonna Andersson opened the scoring after 35 minutes. However, the Dutch kept piling on the pressure and finally got their reward early in the second half as Jill Roord levelled the scores. But, they will be hoping for a strong attacking display on Wednesday, as they managed just two shots on target against Sweden. Portugal and Switzerland played out one of the most entertaining games on matchday one, as the nations shared four goals. However, the result means that Portugal have failed to win their previous two games, and have allowed three goals during that period. Switzerland moved into a commanding lead after just five minutes on matchday one, as Coumba Sow and Rahel Kiwic scored to give them a 2-0 lead. However, Portugal fought back in the final half an hour. Diana Gomes pulled one back after 58 minutes, before Jessica Silva put Portugal back on terms just seven minutes later. Netherlands vs Portugal Head to Head The Netherlands have a commanding advantage in the head-to-head record, as they have won the previous two meetings against Portugal. They have scored ten goals in those fixtures, and have allowed just two. The latest win was a 3-2 success in September 2014. Netherlands vs Portugal Prediction This should be a much more straightforward fixture for the Netherlands against Portugal. We struggle to see anything other than a win for the Dutch, and it could be a handsome scoreline in their favour. The preference is for a 3-0 win for the Dutch on matchday two. Make sure to bet on Netherlands vs Portugal with 22Bet!

His finishing and willingness to run in behind the defense are important in providing Linfield with some tactical flexibility. They can play on the counter-attack or build-up play from the back. McDaid will be important for Linfield in the match against The New Saints on Wednesday. Declan McManus The Scottish forward is a crucial part of the New Saints squad.

Matchday two in Group B of Women’s EURO 2022 takes place on Tuesday, as both Germany and Spain will be looking to effectively book their passage through to the knockout round. Both sides started with big victories, but which nation will be able to maintain that form with a second straight win? Netherlands vs Portugal Prediction: Women’s EURO 2022 Match on 13.07.2022 Women’s EURO 2022 Preview Germany may have been considered dark horses when the Women’s EUROs got underway, but they remain an incredibly competitive side in the international game. They currently sit top of Group B, and will be aware that a second straight victory would effectively ensure their passage through to the knockout round. They look good value to reach the knockout round anyway, as they haven’t been eliminated in the group stage since failing to quality for the EUROs back in 1987. Their campaign got off to a perfect start on Friday evening, as they won handsomely against Denmark. The Germans ran out comfortable 4-0 winners, which means that they have now scored eleven unanswered goals in their previous two fixtures. Lina Magull opened the scoring after 21 minutes, before further goals were added in the second half by Lea Schuller, Lena Lattwein and Alexandra Popp. Spain find themselves in a very similar position to Germany coming into the second fixture in the group. They will also be aware that victory on Tuesday would effectively ensure their passage through to the knockout round, and would put them on course to top the group and therefore have an easier passage through to the final. Spain won on opening night at Stadium MK against Finland. However, they didn’t have it all their own way in that fixture, as they fell behind after one minute.

Further goals in the second half were added by Lucia Garcia and Mariona Caldentey. Germany vs Spain Head to Head Spain are yet to win in five previous matches against Germany.

Group C at Women’s EURO 2022 looks wide open after matchday one, with all four teams still having a solid chance of progressing through to the next round. However, for the defending champions, they will be expecting to get a first win at this year’s competition on Wednesday. France vs Belgium Prediction: Women’s EURO 2022 Match on 14.07.2022 Women’s EURO 2022 Preview The Netherlands are still heavily fancied to go very deep at the EUROs this summer, but they will be hoping for a much better performance than they delivered on matchday one. They are fancied to get maximum points in their second group stage game, as they come up against a lowly-ranked Portugal. The Netherlands and Sweden played out the best-quality game of the EUROs so far last weekend, and few would argue against the belief that we could see them clash once again later in the tournament. Sweden took the lead in the fixture after just 35 minutes, as Jonna Andersson opened the scoring after 35 minutes. However, the Dutch kept piling on the pressure and finally got their reward early in the second half as Jill Roord levelled the scores. But, they will be hoping for a strong attacking display on Wednesday, as they managed just two shots on target against Sweden. Portugal and Switzerland played out one of the most entertaining games on matchday one, as the nations shared four goals. However, the result means that Portugal have failed to win their previous two games, and have allowed three goals during that period. Switzerland moved into a commanding lead after just five minutes on matchday one, as Coumba Sow and Rahel Kiwic scored to give them a 2-0 lead. However, Portugal fought back in the final half an hour. Diana Gomes pulled one back after 58 minutes, before Jessica Silva put Portugal back on terms just seven minutes later. Netherlands vs Portugal Head to Head The Netherlands have a commanding advantage in the head-to-head record, as they have won the previous two meetings against Portugal. They have scored ten goals in those fixtures, and have allowed just two. The latest win was a 3-2 success in September 2014. Netherlands vs Portugal Prediction This should be a much more straightforward fixture for the Netherlands against Portugal. We struggle to see anything other than a win for the Dutch, and it could be a handsome scoreline in their favour. The preference is for a 3-0 win for the Dutch on matchday two.

Few nations have looked as impressive at Women’s EURO 2022 than France to this point. They will be looking to pick up a second straight victory in the group stages on Thursday when they take on Belgium at the New York Stadium in Rotherham. Women’s EURO 2022 Preview France has been the standout side at the Women’s EUROs after the opening round of games, and they look set to top Group D. They will likely need one more win to ensure their spot in the knockout rounds, and it looks difficult to bet against that victory coming in their second outing on Thursday against Belgium. France have managed to make it out of the group stages in the previous three editions, but they are yet to go any further than the quarterfinals. Based on their performance against Italy on matchday one, they look set to go further than that this year. The French were excellent against Italy on Sunday evening, as they went into the half time break with a 5-0 advantage. Grace Geyoro was in excellent form, as she scored a stunning hat-trick, while further goals were added by Marie-Antoniette Katoto and Delphine Cascarino. Belgium didn’t get off to the best start in their opening group stage game, as they could only play out a 1-1 draw against Iceland. Justine Vanhaevermaet scored with just over 20 minutes remaining to save a point for her national side after Iceland opened the scoring after 50 minutes. They will need to raise their level if they are to fight for second spot in the group, but whether they have the required quality to compete with France remains to be seen. Belgium have only qualified for the Women’s EUROs on one previous occasion, but they were knocked out at the group stage in 2017. France vs Belgium Head to Head France has an extremely dominant record in this fixture, as they have won eleven of the 12 meetings between the two sides. Belgium has recorded just one previous victory against the French. France have won the previous two meetings between the sides, with their latest win being a 2-0 success in July 2017. France vs Belgium Prediction This is a straightforward enough game to call on Thursday, as it looks incredibly hard to bet against France making it two wins from two. It will be a comfortable evening for the French, and we could see them winning the game 3-0. Make sure to bet on France vs Belgium with 22Bet!

Match Preview Qarabag will look to overturn the 1-0 deficit when they welcome Lech Poznan on Tuesday. However, they have to contend with sharp counter-attacking tactics by Poznan as they seek to preserve or add to their advantage in this match.

Wadji will be crucial for Qarabag as they look to overcome a 1-0 deficit against Lech Poznan on Tuesday and make it into the second round of Champions League qualifiers. M. Ishak The Swedish striker offers a physical presence up front for Poznan. This helps the team to be dangerous from set-pieces as well as posing a massive aerial threat when balls are whipped into the box.

They will press and play an attacking approach to the match from the first whistle. Lech Poznan will look to preserve their advantage and add to it.

The women’s European Championships couldn’t have got off to a worse possible start for both Austria and Northern Ireland. Both nations will come into this second matchday desperately needing a victory to keep their hopes of progression through to the next round alive. England vs Norway Prediction: Women’s EURO 2022 Match on 11.07.2022 Women’s EURO 2022 Preview It wasn’t the ideal start for both Austria and Northern Ireland as they were beaten on matchday one, which means that there will be no room for another defeat in this fixture between the nations at St Mary’s Stadium on Monday evening. It’s likely that Austria would have been happier with their performance on matchday one, as they only narrowly lost 1-0 to pre-tournament favourites England. It was a cagey fixture between the sides at Old Trafford, but Austria lacked the cutting edge in the final third to really unsettled the Lionesses. However, on another day, they could have easily taken a point from the game, as they created enough in-roads to create good goalscoring opportunities. The fact that they held their own against England also bolds well for their remaining games in the group stage, and they will be expected to win this second game on the South Coast. Northern Ireland came into the group stage as outsiders to reach the next round, as they are only competing at their first ever major tournament in the women’s game. However, they saw the gulf between sides that have the experience at major tournaments on matchday one, as they were easily beaten 4-1 by Norway. Northern Ireland didn’t start well at all in the game, and found themselves 3-0 down after just half an hour. There were certainly pluses that could have been taken from their second half display though, as they scored their first goal in an international tournament four minutes into the second period through Julie Nelson. However, there is no denying that this is another tough fixture for them at the EUROs. Austria vs Northern Ireland Head to Head Northern Ireland and Austria have met on two previous occasions. However, Northern Ireland are yet to record a victory. The most recent fixture between the sides was won 3-1 by Austria in April. Austria vs Northern Ireland Prediction Based on what we saw on matchday one, it is hard to look past Austria getting their first win at the EUROs this year on Monday. They have the better experience, and Northern Ireland aren’t strong enough defensively to keep them out. Make sure to bet on Austria vs Northern Ireland with 22Bet!
The two sides that picked up victories on matchday one in Group A clash at the AMEX Stadium on matchday two on Tuesday. England will be looking for a much better performance, while Norway will be looking to consolidate their place at the top of the standings. Women’s EURO 2022 Preview There was a huge night at Old Trafford on Wednesday, as England opened their Women’s EURO 2022 campaign against Austria. There’s no surprise that there were nerves within the England ranks, as the squad were playing in their biggest ever international fixture in front of a record breaking crowd at the Theatre of Dreams. The Lionesses eventually managed to get the win after Beth Mead scored the opener in the first half. However, England will certainly need to improve on that showing if they are going to go all the way in the EUROs this summer. Their passing wasn’t as tight as it has been in previous fixtures, while they made a number of defensive mistakes that will be capitalised on by better teams. However, getting the three points and opening win was all that mattered for England earlier in the week, and they managed to get the job done. But, their job is now to build on that, and put down an improved performance against a talented Norwegian side. Norway currently sit top of Group A after a very emphatic display on matchday one against Northern Ireland. It was a strong display from the Norwegians from start to finish, as they made their dominance count early on before seeing out the win in comfortable fashion. Norway ran out 4-1 winners, with Julie Blakstad, Frida Maanum and Caroline Graham Hansen all scoring in the first half an hour. The scoring was completed ten minutes into the second half by Guro Reiten. England vs Norway Head to Head There have been ten previous fixtures between England and Norway, with the Lionesses holding a dominant record with five wins compared to Norway’s two. There have also been three draws. The most recent fixture between the sides came in September 2019, with Norway running out 2-1 winners. England vs Norway Prediction This is a much bigger test for England than their opening EUROs game. However, the fact that they have beaten Norway in two major tournaments previously is a big positive. We can see the Lionesses edging out another 1-0 win. Make sure to bet on England vs Norway with 22Bet!
France get their EURO 2022 campaign underway on Sunday evening at New York Stadium in Rotherham as they take on Italy. The French will be expected to start quickly as they are among the favourites to win the competition this summer, but the Italians could pose a serious test for the fancied nation. Belgium vs Iceland Prediction: Women’s EURO 2022 Match on 10.07.2022 Women’s EURO 2022 Preview It promises to be a huge summer for the French national team, as they look to finally deliver a major piece of international silverware. They are ranked as the third best women’s team in the world by FIFA, and there is an expectancy that they should go deep in the competition based on the success that their club sides have enjoyed over the past decade. However, they have failed to make it past the quarterfinals at the EUROs to this point; most recently losing at that stage in 2017. Qualifying posed no big issues for the French, as they won seven of the eight games that they played, and scored an incredible 44 goals. Their preparation couldn’t have gone much better either, as they have won both recent fixtures convincingly and have scored a total of eleven goals without conceding. Italy are one of the emerging nations in the women’s game, and were slightly unlucky not to have qualified as group winners in the qualification campaign. They eventually needed to settle for second, as they finished three points behind Denmark. However, they allowed just five goals, and have built their team on a strong defensive backbone. They reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup in 2019, and will be looking improve on their efforts in 1993 and 1997 where they finished runners-up at the EUROs. Italy has been strong in recent warm-up games, with their standout result being a 1-0 success away from home against Switzerland. France vs Italy Head to Head France and Italy have met on five previous occasions. France hold the advantage, as they have picked up three wins, while Italy have won just once. The most recent meeting came in January 2018, as the sides played out a 1-1 draw. France vs Italy Prediction This is a big test for France on opening night, as they come up against an Italian side that are very solid defensively. However, we still fancy the French to get the win that they need to start well, but there may just be a single goal in it. Make sure to bet on France vs Italy with 22Bet!
Group D at Women’s EURO 2022 gets underway on Sunday at the Academy Stadium in Manchester, as Belgium and Iceland clash. Both sides will be looking to get off to a positive start, as they will likely be looking to cause a shock by reaching the knockout round after being drawn alongside France and Italy. Women’s EURO 2022 Preview Both Belgium and Iceland will be looking to start the European Championships quickly this summer, as they look to cause a shock and reach the knockout round. Belgium finished top of their qualification group in fine fashion, as they won seven of the eight games that they played. Their only defeat was suffered on the road against Switzerland. They were strong at both ends of the pitch throughout qualification, as they scored 37 goals and allowed just five. However, they have only reached the finals of a women’s major tournament on one previous occasion. That appearance came in 2017, as they were eliminated in the group stage of EURO 2017. They have had a mixed warm up for the tournament, as they have lost twice and won twice in the four fixtures that they have played. Their final warm up game ended in a 6-1 win against Luxembourg. Iceland needed to qualify for the EUROS the hard way after they finished second in their qualifying group. But, their superior record meant that they finished as one of the best runners-up. They more than held their own in that group, as they finished just three points behind Sweden. Iceland won six of the eight games that they played, and only lost on one occasion. Iceland will be playing at the EUROs for the fourth time this year. Their previous best appearance came in 2013 as they reached the quarterfinals, but they were eliminated in the group stage back in 2017 after losing all their games. Belgium vs Iceland Head to Head This will be the fourth time that Belgium and Iceland have clashed. Both sides have picked up victories previously, while one match ended in a 0-0 draw. The most recent fixture between the sides came in 2016, with Iceland winning 2-1. Belgium vs Iceland Prediction It is extremely hard to separate these two sides as they are ranked close together. However, the slight preference is for Belgium to pick up a narrow victory as they have quality at both ends of the field. Make sure to bet on Belgium vs Iceland with 22Bet!
Two of the lowest ranked sides at the EUROs this summer clash in the opening fixture in Group C on Saturday. Both sides will be looking to upset the odds are reach the knockout stages, but will it be Portugal or Switzerland that are able to take maximum points on matchday one? Netherlands vs Sweden Prediction: Women’s EURO 2022 Match on 09.07.2022 Women’s EURO 2022 Preview Portugal managed to successfully qualify for their second ever major tournament by reaching the finals at EURO 2022. They had only ever appeared in the group stages of the previous EUROs, but they ere eliminated in the group stages after suffering two defeats from the three games that they played. This year, they will be looking to go one better and make it through to the knockout rounds. However, that could be a tricky assignment, as Sweden and the Netherlands will be expected to take up the top two spots. Portugal finished second in their qualification group behind Finland, but were put into the group stages after Russia were banned from competing. They warmed up for the competition with two wins from three fixtures, with their latest match ending in a 1-1 draw against Australia at the end of June. There had been signs of a Swiss renaissance when it comes to the women’s game, as they successfully qualified for both the 2015 World Cup and 2017 EUROs. However, they were unable to reach the group stages of the most recent World Cup in 2019. Like Portugal, they needed to come through the playoff route to earn their spot in Group C, which they did in dramatic fashion with a penalty shootout success against the Czech Republic. The warm-up games haven’t exactly gone to plan for the Swiss, as they have been heavily beaten by both Germany and England. Over those two fixtures, they have conceded eleven goals and are yet to score in their previous three fixtures. Portugal vs Switzerland Head to Head Portugal and Switzerland have met on four previous occasions, but this will be the first time that they have clashed at a major tournament. Switzerland has recorded two victories against Portugal, while the Portuguese have won once. The latest meeting was won 2-0 by Portugal in 2002. Portugal vs Switzerland Prediction This game could go either way, but it’s unlikely either will be able to make it through to the knockout rounds. The slight preference is for Portugal as Switzerland have been extremely vulnerable defensively throughout their warm up games. Make sure to bet on Portugal vs Switzerland with 22Bet!
The 2017 European champions kick off their defence of the trophy on Saturday, as the Netherlands taken on Sweden at Bramall Lane. Both sides will be expected to reach the next round of the competition, but will it be the Dutch or Swedes that get off to the perfect start in Group C? Portugal vs Switzerland Prediction: Women’s EURO 2022 Match on 09.07.2022 Women’s EURO 2022 Preview The Netherlands will be among the favourites to win the EUROs this summer after claiming a first-ever major victory at their home tournament in 2017. That success had been a long time coming for the Dutch, and they are now ranked as the fourth-best side in the world by FIFA. That success following their European Championship win continued at the World Cup, as they came close to winning the World Cup before being beaten by the United States. It hasn’t been the perfect prep for this summer’s tournament though, with a standout 5-1 loss against England certainly raising eyebrows whether they are the same force as they were in 2019. However, routine victories against Belarus and Finland has helped regain their confidence, and a quick start in Group C against Sweden could make them a team to look out for at the EUROs this summer. Sweden will be among the favourites for European success themselves this summer, as they boast an array of talented players across the pitch. The Swedes have constantly been among the best women’s sides in the world, and have finished third in two of the three previous editions of the World Cup. Notably, they also finished as the runners-up at the Olympics last year. However, they haven’t won the EUROs since the very first staging of the event in 1984. In 2017, they were knocked out at the quarterfinal stage by the Netherlands. Sweden’s final warm-up game before the start of the competition saw them beat Brazil 3-1 at the end of June. Netherlands vs Sweden Head to Head The head-to-head record shows how closely the sides match up. The Netherlands has won three of the previous seven meetings, while Sweden has recorded two wins. Both sides have scored six goals each in the previous seven meetings. Netherlands vs Sweden Prediction This is a very early showdown between two of the heavyweights in the women’s game, and it could go either way. However, the slight preference is for Sweden to get their Group C campaign off to a winning start, as they have regularly been quick starters in major tournaments. Make sure to bet on Netherlands vs Sweden with 22Bet!
One of the front-runners to claim success at the Women’s EUROs this summer open their campaign on Friday evening, as they taken on Finland at Stadium MK. Spain will be looking to get off to the perfect start, as they face trickier assignments later in the group stages against Germany and Denmark. Germany vs Denmark Prediction: Women’s EURO 2022 Match on 08.07.2022 Women’s EURO 2022 Preview It promises to be a big summer for the Spanish national side, as they head into the European Championships as one of the favourites to win the top prize. That should be pressure that the majority of the squad will be able to deal with, as the lionshare of their best players compete for Barcelona, who have achieved a great deal of success in the women’s game. Spain is currently the seventh-ranked side in the world, which is their highest ever ranking in the women’s game. They are constantly improving at the top level of the women’s game, as they reached the round of 16 for the first time at the World Cup in 2019. Their preparation for the tournament this summer has been strong. That includes a 7-0 win against Australia in late June, and a 1-1 draw against Italy in July. Finland haven’t yet been able to build on the success that they achieved at the 2005 EUROs, as they reached the final. Since then, they have been dropping down the rankings, and are currently seen as the 29th best women’s side by FIFA. They have failed to qualify for the last two national tournaments, and they could have their work cut out this summer. Finland come into the EUROs having failed to win either of their two warm up fixtures. They were hammered 5-1 by Japan at the end of June, before easily being beaten by the Netherlands in their final friendly before the start of the tournament. Spain vs Finland Head to Head The two nations have met on two previous occasions, with both being won by Spain. Spain has scored seven goals in the previous fixtures against Finland, and have only conceded once. Spain vs Finland Prediction The Spanish look extremely good value to get their European Championship campaign off to a winning start this Friday. They could make light work of their rivals, and could see them comfortably wrapping up a 3-0 success to get their bigger summer of action underway. Make sure to bet on Spain vs Finland with 22Bet!
There have been few more dominant women’s national teams throughout history than Germany. However, they will be looking to get back on track this summer after failing to win the European Championships for the first time since 1993 in 2017. They come up against the side that knocked them out at EURO 2017 in their opening game- Denmark. Women’s EURO 2022 Preview The big game in the opening round of fixtures at the women’s EUROs comes on Friday evening, as eight-time champions Germany take on Denmark in Group B. Germany will be looking to get back on track after seeing their six-time run being ended at the previous edition of the competition. The 2017 tournament produced Germany’s worst display at the EUROs since the 80s, as they managed to record just two victories as they were eliminated by Denmark in the quarterfinals. Those problems seem to have persisted in the build-up to the competition, as they were beaten by Serbia in a World Cup qualifier in April. However, they looked back to their dominant best in their final warm up fixture as they hammered Switzerland 7-0. Denmark enjoyed an excellent run to the finals of the European Championships in 2017, before they were eventually beaten by the Netherlands 4-2. Any hope of going one better this year looks extremely tough on paper, as they will need to navigate a very testing group that also includes Spain. Their preparation for the tournament this year has been a mixed bag, as they have won two of the three games that they have played. Denmark’s only defeat in those fixtures came at the end of June, as they lost 2-1 to Norway. However, victories over Austria and Brazil will still give them confidence that they can put in a strong showing at the EUROs this summer. Germany vs Denmark Head to Head There have been five meetings between the sides since 2009. Germany has picked up just one victory during that period, with that success coming in 2010. However, Denmark are unbeaten in their previous three meetings with Germany. The latest fixture between the nations came at EURO 2017, as Denmark famously won 2-1 in the quarterfinals. Germany vs Denmark Prediction This is a very interesting opening showdown between Germany and Denmark. Both sides will likely be competing for the second spot in the group, and the result in this game could be pivotal towards either sides chances. Due to the high stakes, we could see the match ending in a draw. Make sure to bet on Germany vs Denmark with 22Bet!
The second game in Group A of the Women’s European Championships takes place on Thursday evening, as Norway and Northern Ireland clash at St Mary’s Stadium. Both sides will be looking to get off to a strong start, as both nations will likely be battling it out for second-place in the group. Germany vs Denmark Prediction: Women’s EURO 2022 Match on 08.07.2022 Women’s EURO 2022 Preview Norway have been historically one of the most successful national teams in the women’s game. They have won one World Cup and two European Championships during their history, but the success has dried up since the emergence of a number of nations since 2010. That was highlighted in the World Cup in 2019, as Norway couldn’t make it past the quarterfinals of the competition. There was more misery for Norway at the last edition of the EUROs, as they lost all three games as they were knocked out in the group stage. There is a sense that they could be building a new and exciting team, as they come into this year’s competition after two wins in their warm-up fixtures. Norway’s latest win was a 2-1 success away from home against Denmark, with Guro Reiten scoring both goals in the win. It will be an historic summer for women’s professional football in Northern Ireland, as the national side compete at a first major tournament. The Green and White Army are the lowest-ranked side to have qualified for the EUROs this summer, and comes less than 12 months after the women’s side turned professional. They are likely to have their work cut out at the EUROs this summer, as they come into the competition after suffering three straight defeats. They have been beaten by both England and Austria already this calendar year, and come up against both nations in Group A. Their latest fixture came at the end of June, as they were beaten 4-1 by Belgium. Norway vs Northern Ireland Head to Head Norway and Northern Ireland have clashed on three previous occasions in the past five years. Northern Ireland are yet to pick up a victory during that period, as they have lost all three meetings. Norway has scored 15 goals in the three fixtures, which includes a 6-0 win in November 2019. Norway vs Northern Ireland Prediction This looks to be a daunting challenge for Northern Ireland on matchday one in the EUROS. It looks hard to bet against Norway given their dominant record in this fixture, which means the best play could be on the handicap market. Make sure to bet on Norway vs Northern Ireland with 22Bet!
The long-awaited start of the Women’s EURO 2022 finally arrived on Wednesday evening, as hosts England take on Austria at Old Trafford. The Lionesses will be hoping to go all the way in the tournament this year, and will be the heavy favourites to pick up maximum points on matchday one in Group A. Women’s EURO 2022 Preview There isn’t much surprise to see England head the betting to win the Women’s European Championships this summer, as they have home field advantage. The Lionesses, now managed by former Dutch coach Sarina Wiegman, have been in excellent form and have won their last eleven international fixtures. England are yet to win a major honour at the top level of the women’s game, but they will be looking to build on their strong showing at the 2019 World Cup where they finished fourth. With the absence of the USA and Canada, England should be primed for a strong showing at the EUROs this summer. The quality and strength in depth was evident in their latest fixtures, as they won all three warm up games and scored 12 goals in the process. The standout win was their 5-1 success against defending European champions, the Netherlands. Beth Mead scored twice in that win, while further goals were added by Lucy Bronze, Ella Toone and Lauren Hemp. Austria will have the challenge of stopping a free-scoring England on matchday one at the Theatre of Dreams. They have shown some fine form over recent fixtures, with their only defeat in three matches coming against Denmark in the middle of June. However, they would have taken great confidence from their last warm-up fixture, as they managed to seal a 1-0 success against Belgium. The only goal in that win was scored by Maria Plattner. They enjoyed a fine run at the last European Championships as they made it through to the semi-finals, and they could be a big opening test for the Lionesses. England vs Austria Head to Head This is only the second time that the two nations have clashed. The only previous meeting came in November 2021, as England clinched a 1-0 win. The only goal in that win was scored five minutes before half time by Ellen White. England vs Austria Prediction This will be a huge fixture for England, and Wiegman’s side will be looking to hit the ground running. Based on the recent form of the Lionesses, we find it hard to see anything other than a win for the hosts. However, it may be slightly harder than their previous fixtures, which could mean a 2-0 win may be the most likely result. Make sure to bet on England vs Austria with 22Bet!

They will also be looking to ensure that they produce a- performance that can overcome to English side to pit them to the UEFA EURA U-19 final. Italy will focus on neutralising the attacking threat posed by the rapid English offensive players. However, the emphasis on the defensive unit will have to be tempered with the intent to attack to ensure that the team is not rendered impotent going forward.

Form Guide England U-19 England U-19s have won their last five outings in international football. This 100% run of form demonstrates the strength and depth of Ian Foster’s side and underscores the stakes ahead of their clash with Italy U-19s on Tuesday. The wins have come against Bosnia and Herzegovina U-19 (4-1) in the qualifying round of the UEFA EURO U-19 and Arsenal U-23 (6-1) in a friendly clash.

Liam Delap The Manchester City forward has burst onto the scene with massive potential and promise. He made 10 appearances for the Ma City under-23s and grabbed 8 goals and 2 assists.

They will look to use their solidity and fighting spirit to overcome their in-form opponents on Tuesday – France U19s. This will especially be the case coming up against a French side full of attacking talent, guile, and threat given their prevailing form. Managing the attacking threat will be crucial for Israel U19s if they are to stand any chance of winning this semi-final clash on Tuesday.

Second-placed and title-chasing Plateau Utd will travel to the Godswill Akpabio Stadium to face the mid-table hosts Akwa United on Sunday at 16:00GMT as they look to win the match (and hope Nasarawa beats Rivers Utd) to prevent the league leaders from clinching the title with three matches to spare. Katsina Utd vs Remo Stars Prediction: Nigerian Professional Football League Match on 26.06.2022 Match Preview Can Akwa United Bounce Back to Winning Ways with a Victory on Sunday? Akwa United, who are the outgoing champions in the NPFL, have fared poorly in the title defense this season. They are currently 8th on the log with 48 points, which is 23 points behind league leaders. Although they are not threatened by relegation, Akwa United are just 8 points ahead of 18th-placed Dakkada, which indicates that they are closer to the drop zone than the league leaders. Akwa will be focused on returning to winning ways after they were comprehensively defeated by Dakkada (3-1) away from home last time out in the NPFL. They have fared slightly better when playing in front of the home crowd, which will provide a crucial backdrop to the clash with Plateau Utd on Sunday. Can Plateau Get Back to Winning Ways after Two Winless Matches in the League? Plateau Utd’s stop-start run of form has seen them largely surrender their title race as a massive 10-point gap has emerged between them and league leaders Rivers Utd, who could clinch the title this weekend. The second-placed side on the NFL log have gone two matches without a win, which means that they will be desperate to get back to winning ways as they seek to finish this season on positive form. With four matches remaining, there is a realistic chance of dropping into third on the table and missing out on an African Champions League stab. Therefore, Plateau Utd will be focused on winning the match on Sunday to delay Rivers Utd from clinching the title on Sunday while also ensuring that they can finish runners-up this season in the NPFL. Form Guide Akwa United Akwa United have won just once in their last five matches in the NPFL, which highlights their slump in form in recent matches as their title defense fizzled out and was all extinguished by mid-season. The team has also lost three times and drawn once in this run. This means that they have collected four points and dropped 11 in the process. The only win in this five-match run came in the home match against Remo Stars, which finished in a 1-0 win for the home side. The defeats came in away matches against Kwara United (1-0), Heartland (1-0), and Dakkada (3-1). The draw came in the home match against MFM, ending in a 0-0 stalemate. Plateau Utd Plateau Utd have won twice, drawn once, and lost twice in their last five outings in the NPFL. They have dropped 7 points in this run, which enabled league leaders – Rivers Utd – to open up a ten-point lead at the top. The two wins for Plateau Utd came in home matches against Enugu Rangers (4-0) and Kano Pillars (1-0). The draw was also in a home match against Gombe United last time out (last Sunday), which ended in a 1-1 score line. The two defeats came in away matches against Shooting Stars (2-1) and Rivers Utd (2-0). The loss against Rivers was especially devastating because they failed to close the gap in the six-pointer.

Katsina Utd will be looking to bounce back from the 1-0 loss they suffered last time out in the league at the hands of Heartland when they face Remo Stars on Sunday.

They will be looking to extend this renaissance when they visit Katsina Utd this Sunday as they look to hang on to third place on the table. Remo Stars are just a point ahead of Enugu Rangers and Kwara United with 52 points each on the log. With four matches remaining this season, Remo Stars go into the weekend understanding that a loss could see them drop to 5th on the table, or even below Enyimba in 6th, who have 51 points (two behind Remo Stars). The focus for Remo will be retaining their position on the table in the run-in starting with the clash with Katsina Utd on Sunday. Form Guide Katsina Utd Katsina have won just two matches out of their last five outings in the league; they have also lost three times in this run. Overall, they have collected six points while dropping six as they have struggled to move towards safety from relegation in the run-in. The two wins came against Niger Tornadoes (2-0) and MFM (2-1). The three defeats came against Sunshine Stars (2-0), Kwara United (2-0), and Heartland (1-0). In this run, Katsina have scored four goals while conceding six. This deficit highlights why they have dropped nine points while picking up just six as they fight for survival in the league for next season. With the fight to avoid the drop being a two-point affair, Katsina will be looking to take maximum points from their remaining four matches starting with the clash against Remo Stars. Remo Stars Remo Stars have won twice, drawn once, and lost twice in their last five NPFL outings. They have collected 7 points and dropped 8 in this run. This run of form has seen them fall behind in the title race as league leaders have opened up an 18-point gap with second-placed Plateau Utd being 8 points ahead.

The one draw in this run came in the clash with Shootings Stars, which ended in a 1-1 result and shared points for the teams.

Nasarawa vs Rivers Prediction: Nigerian Professional Football League Match on 26.06.2022 Match Preview Can Kano Pillars Move Further away from the Drop Zone with a Win against Enugu Rangers? Kano Pillars have amassed 42 points at this stage of the season, and they are just two points above 18th-placed Dakkada and the relegation zone. This means that with four matches remaining in the NPFL season, Kano Pillars will need some points on board to bolster their quest to survive in the league next season. The clash with Enugu Rangers will be crucial for Kano Pillars as they seek to collect the precious points they need to survive and fend away the pressure from teams below them: Katsina Utd (42 points), Niger Tornadoes (40 points), Dakkada (40 points), and Heartland (40 points). The focus for Kano Pillars will be on solidity as they seek to stop Enugu Rangers and bolster their chances of taking a favorable result from the clash. Can Enugu Rangers Bounce Back to Winning Ways with Victory at Kano Pillars? Enugu Rangers have not won a match in their last three outings in the NPFL (one draw and two losses). The gaffer will be looking to bolster the team’s form and get back to winning ways. Enugu Rangers have amassed 52 points, which places them fourth on the table and just a point behind third-placed Remo Stars. A win could see them leapfrog Remo into third on the log with three matches remaining in the season. The focus for the Rangers will be finding their cutting edge in front of goal again as they have failed to find the score sheet in their last three matches, which have needed in two losses and a barren draw. Form Guide Kano Pillars Kano Pillars have won just twice in their last five outings in the NPFL; they have also lost twice and drawn once in this run. Kano Pillars have collected 7 points and dropped 8 in the process. The two wins came against Remo Stars (3-1) away from home and in their latest fixture in the league against Dakkada (1-0) at home. The only draw in this run came against the 1-1 stalemate against Wikki Tourists. The two defeats for Kano Pillars came against second-on-the-table Plateau Utd (1-0) and 14th-placed Abia Warriors (3-2). Kano Pillars have kept just one clean sheet in this run, which highlights their core challenge, which is preventing the opposition from scoring against them. This will be crucial as they seek to upset Enugu Rangers on home soil on Sunday. Enugu Rangers Enugu Rangers have won just once in their last five outings in the league; they have also lost three times and drawn once in the process. They have collected just four points and dropped eleven in the process. The win came four matches ago in the clash with Wikki Tourists, which ended in a 1-0 triumph for Enugu Rangers.

The three defeats came against Plateau Utd (4-0), Abia Warriors (2-0), and Nasarawa United (1-0). Enugu Rangers have scored just two goals in this run of five matches, which highlights their problem – scoring goals. Possible Starting Lineups Kano Pillars Salisu, S. Olayiwola, M. Jibrin, A.

Rivers Utd will be looking to wrap up the title when they travel to face mid-table side Nasarawa United at the Lafia Township Stadium on Sunday at 16:00GMT. With the gap at the top standing at 10 points with 12 points up for grabs in the run-in, Rivers Utd can clinch the title with a win on Sunday and put it beyond the reach of second-placed Plateau Utd. Match Preview Can Nasarawa Upset the League Leaders and Delay their Coronation? Nasarawa will be looking to bounce back from the 1-0 loss away to Niger Tornadoes last Saturday when they host the league leaders and title-chasing Rivers this Sunday. Given their stop-start form in recent matches, Nasarawa will be looking to bolster their structure, shape, and discipline against one of the best-attacking teams in the league this season and the hot favorites to win the league. Nasarawa will be hoping to at the very least delay the coronation of Rivers on Sunday by denying them the victory they need. This is helped by the fact that Nasarawa has won their last five matches at the Lafia Township Stadium. Their positive home form will offer them massive encouragement even if they are playing the league leaders, who will be pressing hard for a win to clinch the title with three matches to spare. Can Rivers Utd Clinch the Title with Win? With one win, a defeat, and a draw in their last three matches, Rivers are stumbling to the title on current form. However, they have already done most of the work and opened up a commanding 10-point lead over second-placed Plateau Utd. This meant that their slip-ups were not costly in the run-in. On Sunday, they will travel to the Lafia Township Stadium with the knowledge that a win for them will ensure that they can finally be declared champions with three matches remaining in the season. Form Guide Nasarawa United Nasarawa have won two matches and lost three in their last five outings in the league. They have collected six and dropped nine points in this run. The two wins came in home matches against Abia Warriors (2-1) and Enugu Rangers (1-0). The three defeats came in away matches against Enyimba (3-2), Sunshine Stars (2-1), and Niger Tornadoes (1-0) in the last match last Saturday. This run of form shows that Nasarawa have a stellar home form while suffering away from home; this sets up the clash with the league leaders on Sunday nicely for the neutrals as they look to stop Rivers Utd from taking the title this weekend. Rivers Utd Rivers Utd have won three times, drawn once, and lost once in their last five outings in the PFL. The league leaders have collected 10 points and dropped five in this run as they have moved three points away from clinching the title this Sunday. Also, if Plateau Utd suffer a defeat, Rivers will be crowned champions as well. The three wins have come in home matches against Plateau Utd (2-0) and Abia Warriors (2-1) and the away match against Dakkada (3-2).
