Inter Milan vs AC Milan | Champions League

16/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 0-1

Based on the fact that AC Milan is currently trailing 2-0 against Inter Milan, it appears that they are facing a formidable opponent. However, they have no choice but to attack aggressively in an attempt to win the match by a margin of two goals and force extra time, or by a margin of three goals or more to secure their spot in Istanbul.

While it may seem difficult for AC Milan to score multiple goals against Inter Milan, there are a few reasons why they should be optimistic. For example, in their previous encounter, Benfica was able to penetrate Inter’s defense and achieve a 3-3 draw in Milan during the earlier phase of the Champions League.

Furthermore, AC Milan’s top scorer, Rafael Leao, was absent from the first game due to an injury but is expected to make his return for Tuesday’s match. This is another reason to be hopeful about the team’s chances.

  • The “No goal” sign occurred in 4 of Inter’s last 5 official matches.
  • The “No goal” also came out in the last matches between the two teams.
  • The second leg matches are always played in a more prudent way, and it will be difficult to see many goals.
  • Milan have conceded only one goal in the last 5 at San Siro.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Roma | Europa League

18/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 2-1

On Thursday, May 18, 2023, José Mourinho’s Roma will be traveling to Leverkusen to play the second leg of the Europa League semi-final at the BayArena. Roma holds a one-goal advantage from the first leg, thanks to Edoardo Bove’s goal. This advantage allows the Giallorossi to approach the match with confidence, although they are aware that the away game in Germany will not be an easy task.

Both teams experienced draws in their most recent league matches. Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen could only manage a 1-1 draw against Stuttgart, while Roma failed to break the deadlock in a goalless draw against Bologna. The Europa League challenge is of utmost importance for Roma, not only in terms of reaching the final but also for securing qualification for the next edition of the Champions League.

In their last four games across the league and cup competitions, Bayer Leverkusen has struggled, with two wins and two defeats. However, their home record has been strong, as they have obtained six positive results, including five victories, in their last seven matches at home. On the other hand, Roma have not won any of their last four away games, but they have managed to secure two draws after suffering two defeats. In their overall form, Roma has won only one of their last six games in all competitions.

The stage is set for an intriguing match at the BayArena, where both teams will be aiming to advance to the final of the Europa League. Leverkusen will be looking to overturn the one-goal deficit and make the most of their home advantage, while Roma will be determined to hold on to their lead and secure a spot in the final. It promises to be a highly competitive encounter between two ambitious sides.

  • There have been 5 under 2.5s in Bayer Leverkusen’s last 5 games and 7 in the last 8.
  • There have been 5 under 2.5s in Roma’s last 5 games.
  • Roma have drawn their last 2 away games.
  • Bayer Leverkusen have conceded goals in 4 of their last 5 games of the season.
  • One or both teams haven’t scored in Roma’s last 3 games.

Sevilla vs Juventus  | Europa League

18/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 2-1

On Thursday, May 18, 2023, the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in Seville will host the second leg of the Europa League semi-final between Juventus and Sevilla, managed by José Luis Mendilibar.

The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw, with Youssef En-Nesyri scoring for Sevilla and Federico Gatti equalizing for Juventus in added time. This result keeps the tie open and adds to the excitement of the second leg.

Both teams come into this match in good spirits following their recent league victories. In their last league game, Sevilla secured a 3-0 away win against Real Valladolid, with goals from Rafa Mir, Alejandro Gomez, and Jesus Corona. Juventus, on the other hand, won their home game against Cremonese 2-0, courtesy of goals from Nicolò Fagioli and Gleison Bremer.

Sevilla has been in goal-scoring form, finding the net in 10 of their last 11 league and cup matches, winning 7 and drawing 3. Additionally, they have won 3 of their last 4 home games. Juventus, on the other hand, are undefeated in their last 5 matches in both the league and cup, recording 3 wins and 2 draws. Their away form had seen a slump of 5 matches without a win (3 defeats and 2 draws), but they managed to break that streak in their most recent away game.

The stage is set for an exciting second leg, as both teams are in good form and have shown their attacking prowess. The match promises to be a thrilling encounter as they battle for a place in the Europa League final.

  • There have been 4 under 2.5s in the 5 H2Hs between Sevilla and Juventus in European cups.
  • In previous matches, there was a 1-0 victory for Sevilla in 2015 and a 3-1 victory for Juventus in 2016.
  • There have been 10 under 2.5s in Juventus’ last 10 games this season.
  • In this edition of the Europa League, Juventus are unbeaten away with 2 wins and 1 draw.
  • Sevilla have won 3 out of 3 home games in this edition of the Europa League and have kept clean in all of them.

AZ vs West Ham United | Conference League

18/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 1-1

The second leg of the Europa Conference League semi-final between West Ham United and AZ Alkmaar will take place on May 18, 2023, at the AFAS Stadion in Alkmaar. West Ham United entered the match with a 2-1 advantage from the first leg.

AZ Alkmaar came into the match after a 5-1 victory against Emmen in their recent Eredivisie home match, which helped them maintain a strong position in the league standings. They had a good run in their recent matches, achieving positive results in five out of their last six games, with four wins and only a single defeat in the first leg against West Ham. Additionally, AZ had won their last three home matches with a goal difference of at least two goals.

On the other hand, West Ham United suffered a 2-0 defeat against Brentford in their most recent Premier League match. They were currently fighting to avoid relegation and had experienced four defeats in their last six matches overall, including three consecutive losses in away games.

  • AZ Alkmaar have won their last 3 home games.
  • In the last 3 official home games, AZ had already finished ahead in the first half and then won with at least a 2-goal difference.
  • West Ham have lost their last 3 away games.

  • There have been 7 over 2.5 in West Ham’s last 9 competitive games.

FC Basel vs Fiorentina | Conference League

18/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 1-2

Ninety minutes separate Basel and Fiorentina from the Conference League Final. The second leg of the semi-final match will take place on Thursday, May 18th, in Switzerland. In the first leg, Basel made a comeback and won 2-1, giving them the advantage. To advance to the final, Fiorentina must win with a two-goal difference. Alternatively, they can win by a one-goal difference in the ninetieth minute to force overtime and potentially penalties. Any other result will qualify Basel for the final. The winner of the Basel vs. Fiorentina match will face the winner of the Az Almaar vs. West Ham match in the final.

However, Basel has had a difficult time recently. After their comeback victory in the first leg, they suffered a heavy 6-1 defeat against St. Gallen. They had to field a different lineup due to several suspensions, and it was their second consecutive home defeat following the one against Zurich. However, they had previously secured victories against Winterthur and Sion.

On the other hand, Fiorentina managed to return to success with a 2-0 home win against Udinese. Prior to that, they had experienced defeats against Basel and Napoli, along with a draw against Salernitana. Overall, it hasn’t been a great period for the Italian team, as they have only won two out of their last nine games.

Now, both teams are focused on the crucial second leg, where Fiorentina needs a strong performance to overturn Basel’s advantage and secure a spot in the Conference League Final.

  • Fiorentina has won all the away games played in the Conference League.
  • The Viola have won all five away games in the Conference League.
  • Basel have not won at home in five games, with three defeats, the last two in a row.
  • The Swiss have won just once in the Conference League at home this season.

Top 10 managers to have won the most trophies

Football

Football, also known as soccer in some parts of the world, is a sport that has gained immense popularity globally. In addition to the players, the coaches are among the sport’s most prominent personalities. Managers serve as guides, motivators, tacticians, and iron generals, almost like psychologists.

The showcase also includes 2-Cup Winners’ Cups, a UEFA Super Cup, and three CIS Cups. Lobanovsky was also the coach who launched Shevchenko during his last experience at Dynamo Kiev.

  1. José Mourinho: (27 Trophies)

José Mourinho is undoubtedly one of the most successful football coaches in history, with 27 trophies won.

Predictions 13.05-15.05.2023

Football

Real Madrid vs Getafe | La Liga

13/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 2-0

 Real Madrid will face Getafe this weekend in a La Liga match at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. The two teams have contrasting ambitions for the rest of the season. Real Madrid is currently in third place with 68 points, just one point behind Atletico Madrid. They need just one win to guarantee their Champions League qualification for next season. Real Madrid won their last league match against Osasuna 2-1, but they have had an inconsistent run of form in recent weeks, winning three and losing three of their last six league matches. However, they have been strong at home, losing only once in 16 matches and winning 11 times during that period. Real Madrid played out a 1-1 draw against Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final and may opt to rotate the squad ahead of the second leg scheduled for next Wednesday. They won the reverse fixture against Getafe 1-0 earlier this season and will be looking to take all three points once again.

In contrast, Getafe is currently third-from-bottom in La Liga with 34 points, level with Valencia but with a worse goal difference of -12. They secured a much-needed 1-0 win against Celta Vigo last weekend to end a six-match winless run that included four losses and two draws. Getafe has a poor away record this season, winning only two, drawing five, and losing nine of their 16 away matches. They have failed to win any of their last 10 away league matches, losing seven and drawing three. Getafe has also been unable to beat Real Madrid in their last two attempts, and they are likely to struggle to take anything from this match as Real Madrid looks to secure their Champions League qualification.

  • Real Madrid has been victorious in seven of their past ten league matches played at home.
  • Real Madrid has not allowed an opponent to score in five of their last nine league matches played at home.
  • Getafe have not been victorious in any of their previous 12 league matches away from home.
  • Getafe have now dropped three consecutive matches away from home in league play.
  • Getafe have been held without a goal in three of their past five league matches played away from home.

Everton vs Manchester City | Premier League

14/05/2023 14:00

Prediction: 2-1

The match between Everton and Manchester City is one of the most intriguing fixtures of the 36th round of the Premier League. While Manchester City is on their way to another title, this match comes between the double semi-final of the Champions League against Real Madrid, with the first leg ending in a 1-1 draw. Guardiola will have to balance the need to avoid injuries to his top players while also being cautious, as Arsenal is only one point behind them with one more game played. The first leg’s result shows that despite the level difference, the outcome should never be taken for granted. Everton is fighting against relegation and considered one of the weakest teams in the tournament, but their incredible 5-1 victory against Brighton has revitalized a squad that seemed doomed. A positive result against Manchester City is no longer a dream for them.

  • Everton just won 5-1 at Brighton.
  • Manchester City have conceded in four of their last five games.
  • Since the defeat by Tottenham on February 5, Manchester City have played 21 matches, winning 17 and drawing 4.
  • The first leg finished 1-1.

Arsenal vs Brighton | Premier League

14/05/2023 16:30

Prediction: 3-0

On Sunday, May 14th, another chapter in the intense fight for the 2022–2023 Premier League title will unfold at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal host Brighton. The game is crucial as it is valid for the penultimate round of the competition. Manchester City overtook Arsenal, who had been in first place for the majority of the season, due to a string of poor performances. However, they have recovered and won important victories against Chelsea and Newcastle.

Meanwhile, Brighton has been inconsistent in their performances, as seen in their recent 5-1 loss at home to Everton. Despite this, the Seagulls are having a great campaign and currently sit in seventh place.

  • Arsenal have won thirteen of their seventeen Premier League home matches.
  • Brighton have lost two of their last three away games.
  • The Gunners have scored 22 goals in their last seven home games.
  • The Seagulls have conceded twelve goals in their last seven clashes.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City | Champions League

09/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 1-0

The first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Manchester City will take place on Tuesday at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid, under Ancelotti’s leadership, enters the game having won the Copa del Rey, but given that they are far behind Barcelona in the standings, their chances of winning the La Liga championship are slim. On the other hand, Guardiola’s Manchester City can still win three trophies this season. They are currently in first place in the Premier League with one game in hand against Arsenal, and they have also made it to the FA Cup final. However, their main goal is to win the Champions League, a trophy that has eluded them thus far.

Both Real Madrid and Manchester City were considered favorites to win the competition from the beginning, and their paths so far have confirmed this prediction. They both cruised through the group stage and then dominated their opponents in the knockout rounds. Real Madrid defeated Liverpool (5-2, 1-0) and Chelsea (2-0, 2-0), while Manchester City eliminated Leipzig (1-1, 7-0) and then Bayern Munich (3-0, 1-1).

Real Madrid are currently going through a rough patch, having lost two out of their last three games in La Liga against Real Sociedad (2-0) and Girona (4-2), with a 4-2 win against Almeria in between. Manchester City, on the other hand, are on a winning streak, having won all of their last five matches against Leeds, West Ham, Fulham, Arsenal, and Sheffield United. Their last defeat was on February 5 against Tottenham, and since then they have won 17 games and drawn three.

  • All of the last four games played between the two teams have ended in over 2.5.
  • Four of Real Madrid’s last six home games have ended in over 2.5.
  • There are five of Manchester City’s over 2.5s in their last five games.
  • Manchester City have scored at least two goals per game in eleven of their last twelve outings and at least three in nine of their last twelve.
  • Real Madrid have scored eighteen goals in their last 6 home games.

AC Milan vs Inter Milan | Champions League

10/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 0-0

On Wednesday, May 10, Milan and Inter will face off in the Euroderby, a match that will determine which team will secure a spot in the Champions League final. The game will take place at San Siro, which is sold out for the occasion. This will be the third derby of the season, with Inter having won two and Milan one. Both teams are fighting for a place in the top four of Serie A, which would secure them a spot in the Champions League.

Milan comes into the match with an impressive unbeaten run, having not lost since March 18. However, they have been held to several draws in their last nine games, having won four and drawn five. Their most recent victory was a 2-0 win over Lazio last Saturday. Inter, on the other hand, have won all of their last five games, including a 2-0 victory over Roma, a 6-0 win over Verona, a 3-1 win over Lazio, a 1-0 win over Juventus in the Coppa Italia, and a 3-0 victory over Empoli.

The two teams have already faced each other three times this season, with Inter winning two matches (1-0 in the league and 3-0 in the Italian Super Cup) and Milan winning one (3-2 in the league). The second leg of this Euroderby will be played on Tuesday, May 16, and the winner will advance to the Champions League final, where they will face the winner of the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City in Istanbul.

  • Four of the last five derbies have finished with at least one team without goals.
  • Inter have conceded just one goal in their last five games.
  • For Milan, there are two clean sheets in the last four for Maignan.
  • The Rossoneri have only conceded one goal in their last six games in the Champions League.
  • The match has already been played twice in 2023, and Milan have never scored against Inter.

Juventus vs Sevilla | Europa League

11/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 2-0

Juventus will be playing against Sevilla in the first leg of the Europa League at Allianz Stadium. The Bianconeri have won their last two games, breaking their negative streak in a tough month of April. They defeated Lecce and secured a crucial 2-0 win over Atalanta to qualify for the Champions League.

Sevilla is historically the favorite in the Europa League, and they are in good form, with five wins in their last six games. They beat Espanyol 3-2 in the last round, and the Europa League final could potentially save their season. Roma and Leverkusen will face off in the other semifinal, with the possibility of an all-Italian final.

In the quarterfinals, Juventus eliminated Sporting, while Sevilla got the better of Manchester United. Allegri will be without De Sciglio, who suffered a season-ending injury, but Kean is expected to return. Vlahovic and Di Maria will likely start in attack, with Locatelli in midfield and Cuadrado and Kostic on the wings. Bremer is back in defense with Danilo.

Sevilla should not be underestimated, as they have experienced players like Jesus Navas and Telles in defense, Rakitic in midfield, and Suso in attack. En-Nesyri is their offensive reference, with Lamela and Ocampos as attacking midfielders.

  • In the 5 direct clashes between the two teams, 3 victories for Juve, a draw, and 1 success for Sevilla.
  • Sevilla have not lost any of their last 4 away games.

11/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 2-1

On Thursday, May 11, 2023, Roma will face Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final at the Stadio Olimpico. José Mourinho’s Roma team, which defeated Feyenoord in the previous round, has not been in good form in the league recently, having lost their last match against Inter Milan by a score of 0-2 at home. After defeating Belgian team Union Saint-Gilloise in the previous round, Bayer Leverkusen under the direction of Spanish coach Xabi Alonso advanced to the semi-finals. They had been on a 14-game unbeaten run in all competitions until their recent loss to Cologne in the league by a score of 1-2 at home.

11/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 2-1

West Ham United and AZ Alkmaar will face each other at the London Stadium in the first leg of the Europa Conference League semi-finals. West Ham, led by Scottish coach David Moyes, managed to knock out Gent in the previous round, but their focus may be split as they battle for Premier League survival, currently sitting 15th in the standings.

11/05/2023 20:00

All-Time F1 Wins Chart: Ranking the Greatest F1 Drivers of All Time

Football

The world of Formula 1 has produced a large number of exceptionally talented racecar drivers, some of whom have gone on to become true icons of the sport. These drivers have made an unmistakable impact on the records of motorsports history, whether it be for their outstanding abilities behind the wheel or for their exceptional single-seater accomplishments. In this article, we’ll look at the list of all Formula 1 victories, with a particular emphasis on the incredible vehicles driven by illustrious drivers like Ferrari, Mercedes, and McLaren, among others.

The F1 All-Time Wins Chart: Who’s Leading the Race?

Let’s start with the all-time Formula 1 victories table, which lists the drivers with the most triumphs in the Grands Prix. Below are the top ten drivers and the number of their wins:

  1. Lewis Hamilton: 103 wins
  2. Michael Schumacher: 91 wins
  3. Sebastian Vettel: 53 wins
  4. Alain Prost: 51 wins
  5. Ayrton Senna: 41 wins
  6. Max Verstappen: 37 wins
  7. Fernando Alonso: 32 wins
  8. Nigel Mansell: 31 wins
  9. Jackie Stewart: 27 wins
  10. Niki Lauda: 25 wins

Lewis Hamilton, the All-Time F1 Wins Leader

Lewis Hamilton is the Formula 1 driver with the most victories in the sport’s history. The British driver, who has raced for both McLaren and Mercedes, has a total of seven world titles, equaling Michael Schumacher’s record, which had stood since 2004. Hamilton has been especially successful with Mercedes, which is led by Toto Wolff. Together, they have smashed through the incredible wall of 100 Grand Prix victories, a figure that is unlikely to be matched anytime soon.

Schumacher and Vettel: Two Greats on the Podium

It is impossible for Michael Schumacher, the driver with the most world titles in the history of Formula One, to finish anywhere other than on the third position of the podium. The German race car driver finished his career with 91 victories, establishing indelible chapters of history for Ferrari and the enthusiasts that support the brand. However, not all of Schumacher’s victories came with Ferrari; he also won a lot with Benetton, which is where he won his first two world titles. Schumacher won the majority of his races during his time with Benetton.

Another German driver who has competed for Ferrari, Sebastian Vettel, is also on the podium, with 53 victories to his name throughout the course of his career. In spite of the fact that he has a sizable following at Ferrari, Vettel won the bulk of these races while competing for Red Bull. The previous record for most victories in a single season was held by Alain Prost, but he has surpassed that with his record of 13, which is tied with Michael Schumacher’s record from 2004.

Max Verstappen: A Record-Breaker in the Making

Max Verstappen, a Dutch driver, is one of the most talented drivers to ever get behind the wheel of an F1 car. By winning 15 Grand Prix races in the incredible year 2022, he surpassed Schumacher and Vettel’s previous record for victories in a single season. Verstappen’s first win came at the age of 18 years, 7 months, and 15 days, making him the youngest winner of an F1 race. Last year, he beat out his competitors, including Ferrari, with his RB18 to achieve a remarkable 15 wins in just a few months.

Verstappen has already won two world titles with Red Bull and is likely to go down in history as one of the greatest drivers of all time. He is currently in sixth place on the all-time F1 wins chart and has the potential to catch up with Ayrton Senna this season. It’s possible that he could get very close to, if not surpass, Alain Prost. A lot will depend on his car, his work with the team, and how much the opponents will be able to put him in difficulty.

On the other hand, Osasuna has yet to win the final and has suffered defeat in their previous attempts.

Real Madrid is considered the clear favorite for the final, but there are factors that suggest Osasuna may be able to push them to extra time. Real Madrid has not been in excellent form lately, having lost second place in the standings to Atletico Madrid. Although this is not crucial for their position, it may indicate that the team is focused on preparing for this match and their upcoming commitment in a few days: the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City. This will undoubtedly drain some mental energy.

Osasuna is currently in ninth place in the standings, having lost their last two matches. The tournament has been characterized by a few goals scored and conceded, and Osasuna will likely aim to block the result due to the strength difference between the two teams.

Milan suffered a setback in the midweek round and now finds itself tied for fifth place with Atalanta on 58 points, two points behind fourth-placed Inter. Lazio, on the other hand, is in a much better position, occupying second place with 64 points. Taking points from the Milan stadium would be a significant step for Sarri’s team towards securing their place in next year’s Champions League.

Milan has been going through a difficult period, having recently secured a place in the Champions League semi-finals by eliminating Napoli. They won against Lecce but then faltered with two consecutive draws at the Olimpico against Roma and at home against Cremonese. In both cases, they managed to salvage two points in stoppage time after falling behind. Lazio arrives at San Siro after a 2-0 home victory against Sassuolo, which helped them forget the two back-to-back defeats against Inter and Turin, ending their streak of five consecutive wins.

06/05/2023 14:00

On Saturday, May 6th, at the Olimpico, there will be a direct clash between Roma and Inter for a spot in the next Champions League. Currently sitting in seventh place with 58 points, Roma needs to recover two points from Inter to secure fourth place. Inzaghi, who recently secured a place in the Italian Cup final, is amidst a final push that could confirm his position. Additionally, next week they will face Milan in the Champions League semi-final, and they seem to have an advantage in the race for fourth place compared to their competitors.

Roma is going through a difficult moment, having come back from two 1-1 draws with Milan and Monza, both times losing the advantage. Furthermore, they haven’t won in their last three games, including a direct clash with Atalanta that they lost at the end of April. Meanwhile, Inter is in top form, having won all three of their last league games: 6-0 against Verona, 3-1 against Lazio, and 3-0 against Empoli. Moreover, they won against Juventus in the Italian Cup semi-final return 1-0 and advanced to the Champions League semi-final with a 3-3 draw against Benfica.

Newcastle United vs Arsenal | Premier League

07/05/2023 16:30

Prediction: 3-1

Arsenal needs to win their next four matches and hope that Manchester City drops points in their busy schedule if they want to have a chance at winning the Premier League. However, their upcoming match against Newcastle at St. James Park will be challenging since Newcastle is currently in third place in the league table. There is a lot of tension between the two teams since Newcastle knocked Arsenal out of the Champions League by beating them 2-0 on May 16, 2022. As the season comes to a close, Arsenal needs to prove to the defending champions that they are still contenders for the Premier League title in June.

Even though Arsenal beat Chelsea 3-1 on Tuesday, they will need to improve in all areas to perform well at Gallowgate. This is the perfect opportunity for them to show whether they have improved as a club since last year’s disappointment.

On the other hand, Newcastle has been on an impressive winning streak since mid-March, winning 24 out of 27 possible points with only one loss against Aston Villa. Their recent wins against Southampton, Everton, and Tottenham, including a 5-0 halftime lead and a 6-1 scoreline, have caught the attention of many observers. Newcastle has a solid starting lineup, talented players in each position, and numerous offensive threats, such as Joe Willock, who is hoping to make an impact against his former club with his new teammates.

  • Newcastle have won their last 4 league games.
  • Newcastle scored an average of 3 or more goals during this period.
  • Newcastle have not lost any of the last 2 confrontations after 8 consecutive defeats.

Barcelona vs Osasuna | La Liga

02/05/2023 18:30

Prediction: 4-0

With six matches remaining in the 2022–2023 Liga, Barcelona’s lead over Real Madrid in the title race has remained unchanged. Xavi’s Blaugranas won 4-0 against Real Betis in the last round and maintained an 11-point lead over the Merengues. In the match of the next round, that of the 33rd day, which will be played at the Spotify Camp Nou on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, Barcelona will face Osasuna. The Pamplona team is eighth in the standings with 44 points and remains in the running for Europe. However, the Arrasate-coached team bounced back from the 0-2 loss in the most recent home game against Real Sociedad. Barcelona without Angel Alarcon and Sergi Roberto; Osasuna without David Garcia and Darko Brasanac.

  • There have been 8 over 2.5 in the last 8 matches between Barcelona and Osasuna at the Camp Nou.

  • Barcelona won the first leg 1-2.

Arsenal vs Chelsea | Premier League

02/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 3-1

On Tuesday, May 2nd, Arsenal will challenge Chelsea to try and keep alive their hopes of winning the title. After suffering a defeat at the hands of Manchester City in their head-to-head match, the Gunners are currently one point behind Manchester City but also have one game in hand. At this stage, they are no longer in control of their own destiny; they must always win and hope that Guardiola’s team makes a few mistakes along the way. For Chelsea, however, the disappointing season is turning disastrous, with Lampard slipping into series defeats, and they are now twelfth on 39 points out of all games in the standings.

The Gunners are returning from the 4-1 defeat in the direct clash with Manchester City, which came after three draws in a row with Southampton, West Ham, and Liverpool, where they wasted a lot, especially on the first two occasions. The last success of Arteta’s team is therefore that of April 1st against Leeds. Chelsea are back from back-to-back defeats to Brentford, Brighton, Wolverhampton, and two to Real Madrid to extend the Blues’ run without a win to eight.

  • Chelsea has not won a single one of their last five matches.
  • Arsenal have won four of their last five games at home in the Premier League.
  • 28 of 33 Arsenal league games have finished with an over 1.5, and it’s Chelsea’s.
  • All of the Gunners’ last nine games have finished with at least two goals on the final scoreboard, as have all of the Blues’ last four.
  • Arsenal have the second best attack in the tournament with 78 goals in 33 games.

Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid | La Liga

02/05/2023 21:00

Prediction: 0-0

The match of the 33rd day of La Liga between Imanol Alguacil’s Real Sociedad and Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid is staged at the Reale Arena in San Sebastian. The match is scheduled for Tuesday, May 2, 2023. Both teams are on course for a place in the Champions League next season. Real Sociedad is fourth in the standings with a +5 over Villarreal, and in the previous round they won in Pamplona on the Osasuna field by 0-2, while Real Madrid are second with a -11 from the leaders. Barcelona leaves little hope for the Merengues: in the last round, Real kept up with the best in the class by beating Almeria 4-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Sociedad without Diego Rico, Sadiq, and Martin Merquelanz; Real Madrid without Modric, Alaba, and Mendy.

  • Real Madrid are unbeaten in 6 games against Real Sociedad, with 3 wins and 3 draws.

  • There have been 10 under 2.5s in Real Sociedad’s last 11 games.
  • In the last 6 head-to-head games at the Real Madrid Arena, there have been 4 wins for Real Madrid, 1 draw, and 1 win for Real Sociedad.

Manchester City vs West Ham United | Premier League

03/05/2023 20:00

Prediction: 3-1

Manchester City have finally climbed to the top of the Premier League and will face West Ham this week in added time on matchday 28. Pep Guardiola’s team won the direct clash with Arsenal and then prevailed 1-2 on the Fulham field, overtaking the Gunners in the standings by one point with still one game left. The Citizens are playing this game now and are looking for victory number 15 in the last 16 official games in what is another season to frame. Haaland and his companions are still in the running on all fronts and nurture the hope of triumphing in every competition, but they must continue at this pace to make the dream come true.

West Ham is not yet sure of its salvation and therefore will come to the Etihad trying to come out with some points to move further in the standings. David Moyes’ men, without Scamacca due to injury, have lost their last two games against Liverpool and Crystal Palace and are currently +5 clear of the relegation zone. Before the last knockout, however, the Londoners were doing well and hoped to restart in the best possible way. In the first leg at the London Stadium, it was 0-2 for City, with a brace from the usual Haaland.

  • With 84 goals in 32 Premier League games, Manchester City have an established average of 2.6 goals per game.
  • West Ham have not done well away from home so far in the Premier League: 10 defeats in 16 matches.
  • 34 goals in 30 league games: with Haaland, City really started from 1-0.
  • Between cup and league, in the last 7 meetings with West Ham, City have never scored more than 2 goals.

Real Madrid vs Almería | La Liga

29/04/2023 17:30

Prediction: 3-1

Real Madrid and Almería face each other in a new LaLiga Santander match, corresponding to matchday 31 of the championship. The Madrid team comes to this match after suffering one of the worst defeats of the season. The poor image shown contrasted with that of a Girona that passed over the whites, with an immense Castellanos that scored all four goals for the Catalan team, humiliating a Real Madrid that seems to have thrown in the towel for the league for days, remaining eleven points awaiting what Barcelona will do against Rayo Vallecano.

For their part, the Almería team will visit the Bernabéu after achieving a victory against a direct rival, such as Getafe, by a goal to two. In this way, Rubi’s team manages to climb a few places in the standings, settling, momentarily, in fifteenth place with 33 points, three above the relegation zone, currently marked by Valencia with 30 points.

  • Real Madrid remain on 4 wins and 1 loss at home.
  • Real Madrid have won four matches with a clean sheet.
  • Real Madrid won the first leg, 2-1.
  • Almeria finally won an away game after 3 losses and 1 draw.
  • Almeria has the second-worst defense in the league with 53 goals conceded.

Barcelona vs Real Betis | La Liga

29/04/2023 20:00

Prediction: 2-0

Xavi’s Barcelona is ever closer to triumph in the 2022–2023 Liga, and on the eve of the 32nd matchday, they are 11 points ahead of Real Madrid. The Blaugrana, perhaps resting on their conspicuous advantage, however, stumbled in the last match in Madrid, but against the more modest Rayo Vallecano; the final result was 2-1 with a useless goal by Robert Lewandowski 7 minutes from time. However, Betis, the blaugrana’s next opponent in the match scheduled for Saturday, April 29, 2023, at the Spotify Camp Nou in Barcelona, did Barça a favor: the green-and-whites from Seville stopped Real Madrid. Barcelona will be without Sergi Roberto, while Real Betis, in full fight for Europe in fifth place in the standings with 49 points (27 less than Barcelona), will be missing Juanmi, Victor Ruzi, Sabaly, and Fekir.

  • Barcelona and Betis have played 10 over 2.5 matches in the last 11 direct matches.
  • Barcelona have won 16 of their last 20 matches against Betis.
  • In 19 of the last 22 H2Hs, Barcelona has scored at least 2 goals against Betis.
  • At least 2 goals have been scored in 8 of Barcelona’s last 10 wins against Real Betis.

Fulham vs Manchester City | Premier League

30/04/2023 14:00

Prediction: 1-2

The emotions of the English Premier League continue on Sunday, the 30th. The goal machine called Manchester City visits Fulham in a game valid for the 34th round of the richest league on the “ball planet”. The match will be held at Craven Cottage Stadium in London. 

A fantastic performance in the “early final” against Arsenal brought the Citizens closer to another title. The Pep Guardiola-led team is only two points behind the Gunners on the standings with two matches remaining.On the other hand, Fulham seem to have fulfilled their mission in the competition. Tenth placed, the team from the capital does not run any risk of relegation, but it is far from obtaining a place in next season’s continental competitions.

  • With 82 goals scored, Manchester City has the best attack in the Premier League. 
  • In six of Fulham’s last eight games, more than two goals have been scored. 
  • The Citizens have scored 35 goals in their last nine games. 
  • Four of the last five duels between the teams have had more than two goals.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur | Premier League

30/04/2023 16:30

Prediction: 3-1

Challenge for Europe at Anfield Road for two of the disappointments of this Premier League: Liverpool and Tottenham. The Reds are on the comeback and currently occupy the seventh position with 53 points less than one of the fifth-placed Spurs, but in free fall. For both, therefore, the goal now is to reach the Europa League; in fact, Manchester United’s fourth place is too far away at 60 points, with one game less than Liverpool and two less than Tottenham.

Liverpool returned to shine after yet another complicated period, which coincided with their elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League by Real Madrid. The Reds have been on a positive streak for five days, with two draws with Arsenal and Chelsea followed by three consecutive victories against Leeds, Nottingham Forest, and West Ham. Very difficult period for Tottenham, who drew during the week in a comeback 2-2 with Manchester United after collapsing at Newcastle and being defeated 6-1, their second knockout in a row after the one with Bournemouth 3-2 at home.

  • Liverpool have won all of their last three games and have four wins from their last five on the scoresheet.
  • Tottenham have lost three of their last three games.
  • The Spurs are returning from five defeats and two draws.
  • Liverpool have won eight of their last ten meetings with Tottenham, which they have never lost.
  • Six of Spurs’ last seven games have finished with an over 2.5, as have all of Liverpool’s last four.
