Manchester City vs Leicester City | Premier League

15/04/2023 17:30

Prediction: 3-1

After putting a big mortgage on access to the semi-finals of the 2022/2023 Champions League by beating Bayern Munich 3-0 at home, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City is also trying to assault the Premier League, where it occupies second place at 6 points behind Arsenal with one match left. And in the 31st round of the championship, the Citizens will still be engaged at the Etihad Stadium against Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City, a team that is instead in full fight for salvation, penultimate 2 lengths from fourth from last place, which would mean permanence in the English top division.

In the last round of the championship, Manchester City had thrashed Southampton for 1-4, while Leicester City had lost at the King Power Stadium against Bournemouth for 0-1. Phil Foden is expected to be the only absentee at Manchester City, while James Juston and Jannik Vestergaard will also be in the ranks of Leicester City, where there are doubts about Harvey Barnes, Youri Tielemans, and Ryan Bertrand.

Cádiz vs Real Madrid | La Liga

15/04/2023 20:00

Prediction: 0-1

Cádiz and Real Madrid close the football day on Saturday, corresponding to date number 29 of La Liga. The Andalusian team comes to this match after a victory over Real Betis at the Benito Villamarín, which makes it recover the path of victory for a team that has not known what it means to win since February. Thus, Sergio González’s men are placed fourteenth in the standings with 31 points, four above relegation.

Los Blancos will visit Nuevo Mirandilla after suffering a defeat at home against Villarreal against an unstoppable Chukwueze. It seems that Ancelotti’s team still had the hangover from the cup victory against Barcelona, and that took its toll on them in the last league match. Although, seeing the distance that separates the merengue team from the leader, it seems that they will focus their objectives on the two cup competitions where they are still alive, to try to achieve a new double under the orders of the Italian coach.

  • Cádiz is the team that has drawn the most games at home (6).
  • Real Madrid has only won three of the last eight league games played away from home.
  • Cádiz drew or won in their last 6 first parts.
  • Real Madrid have only won 1 of their last 8 first-leg matches as a visitor in the league.
  • Cádiz drew or won in 3 of the last 5 matches against Real Madrid.

 

West Ham United vs Arsenal  | Premier League

16/04/2023 14:00

Prediction: 1-2

The pressure is increasing on Arsenal! After the draw conceded on the field by Liverpool last week and the victory of Manchester City in Southampton, there are more than 6 points of difference in the standings in the Premier League. This trip to the capital on the side of West Ham is an opportunity for the group coached by Mikel Arteta to keep the lead. The Gunners will be playing under pressure for the next few weeks, which hasn’t happened for many years at this club. However, Granit Xhaka’s teammates can rely on the solid and impressive opening 40 minutes against Liverpool to get back in the right direction of winning. It should still be remembered that the Gunners have just taken 22 points out of 24 possible, so the dynamic remains positive despite the hitch at Anfield. We believe that the Spanish technician can bring his squad back to its best level in order to finish ahead on the scoreboard after 90 minutes.

Watch out for the North London Club! Facing a side fighting for their place has never been easy in the history of this championship, and that’s not going to change on Sunday afternoon at the London Stadium. Despite the 5-1 loss suffered at home by the Magpies in early April, the men managed by David Moyes have still managed to win 2 of their last 3 games by a score of 1-0, including a very difficult trip to Fulham at the weekend. end last. Suffice to say that the Hammers want to stay in this good spiral, and no matter the opponent of the day, the 3 points are essential at the end of regulation time. With a talented starting XI but without chemistry, it is possible that we will witness an intense duel from the kick-off, which Arsenal does not want…

  • West Ham had just taken 7 points from a possible 9 at home before losing 5-1 to Newcastle.
  • West Ham has now gone three games without a win, with only one goal scored on their home turf.
  • Arsenal have won 6 of the last 7 clashes (1N).Arsenal had three straight wins before drawing at Liverpool.
  • Arsenal has a higher goal average than the Hammers: 72-29 against 27-39!
