Predictions 23-27.01.2023

Bayern Munich vs Cologne | Bundesliga

24/01/2023 19:30

Prediction: 3-1

On Tuesday night, Cologne will play Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in the Bundesliga. The away team struggled before the World Cup. After 16 games, they were ninth with 20 points after being winless in five league matches. Cologne returned to league play with a strong 7-1 win over Werder Bremen over the weekend. However, the visitor’s away form this season is unacceptable. Cologne has one win, three draws, and four losses in eight road matches. Cologne lost 4-0 the previous time these teams played, and they may struggle to take anything from this clash.

Bayern Munich is dominating this season. Bayern’s unbeaten streak reached nine games despite a disappointing 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig in their league comeback. Bayern won seven and drew two of those nine. They lead the league with five points above Frankfurt, Union Berlin, and Freiburg, who are tied with 30 points each. The host team has won five of seven matches at the Allianz this year, drawing two. If they win this match, they will extend their Allianz unbeaten streak to 15 matches, dating back to February 2018. Bayern Munich has 15 wins and one tie against Cologne in 16 encounters. 

• Bayern Munich is unbeaten in 15 home games.
• Bayern Munich is undefeated against Koln in 16 matches.
• Five of the last six encounters between these teams have had over 3.5 goals.
• Koln hasn’t beaten Bayern Munich since February 2011.  

Lazio vs AC Milan | Serie A

24/01/2023 19:30

Prediction: 0-1

Lazio vs. Milan in the 19th round of Serie A should be exciting and crucial for both teams. Milan, in second place, is four points ahead of fourth-place Lazio. This match is crucial for both teams because Juventus was fined 15 points by the federation and is now out of contention. The first four spots are open. Felipe Anderson scored to help Lazio progress in their Coppa Italia match against Bologna. They kept their clean-sheet streak and advanced to the quarterfinals against Juventus. The Lazziali have won six of their last 10 games at home at the Stadio Olimpico, losing only one. Every game but two has seen them score at least twice. They had only one win in their previous four league games.

Milan has struggled owing to poor play and key player injuries. Inter defeated them 3-0 in the Super Cup. The Rossoneri have lost their last four games and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine, including friendly matches. They had only one win in seven road games, including draws with bottom-half teams Cremonese and Lecce. Milan conceded four goals in their previous two visits to the Olimpico, so they will need to improve their defense to win. They are still in a good league position and will want to win this match.

• In their last ten games played at home, Lazio has a record of six victories and just one loss. 
• Over the course of their last 10 matches at home, Lazio has scored at least twice in all but two of those contests. 
• Milan’s last nine matches have not resulted in a team clean sheet for them. 
• The Olimpico has been the site of their three most recent encounters. Over 2.5 goals

Real Madrid vs Atlético Madrid | Copa del Rey

26/01/2023 20:00

Prediction: 1-0

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will face off against each other in a local derby for the right to advance to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey on Thursday. Los Blancos have only competed in two games so far in this competition, winning both of them by scores of 1-0 against Cacereno and 3-2 against Villarreal.

However, in general, they are going through a period of ups and downs; they have been among the losers ever since the return leg in the break, and they have lost three games in La Liga—two to Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano, which cost them first place in the league, and one to Barcelona in the Super Cup.

After being knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Barcelona and drawing with Almeria, Atletico Madrid bounced back in La Liga with a 3-0 victory over Valladolid. In the Copa del Rey, they defeated Almazan, Arenteiro, Oviedo, and Levante. In La Liga, they raised their heads again by beating Valladolid.

• At the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid have won their last 3 direct matches.
• In the last 4 matches at the Santiago Bernabeu, one or both teams have failed to score.
• In 5 of Atletico Madrid’s last 6 official matches, one of the two teams hasn’t scored.
