Predictions 26-28.10.2022

Inter Milan vs Viktoria Plzeň | Champions League

26/10/2022 16:45

Prediction: 2-0

Inter are in a Champions League round that, on paper, is very favorable for Simone Inzaghi’s Inter. On the eve of the fifth day of the tournament and with a 3-point advantage over Barcelona, who will face Bayern Munich at home, the Nerazzurri could make the decisive elongation for qualification if they win at home against Viktoria Plzen and if, at the same time, the Blaugrana do not beat Bayern. Inter face this challenge after a last-minute victory in the league against Fiorentina, 3-4, while Viktoria Plzen defeated Banik Ostrava, 3-1, at home. 

• Viktoria Plzen have had a rough run recently in the Champions League, suffering four successive losses by a margin of two goals or more.
• The Czech club, Viktoria Plzen, have now dropped their last five Champions League matches in a row.
• The most recent record for Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League consisted of four consecutive losses in both the half-time and full-time periods.
• The current winless streak for Viktoria Plzen is at one in their last six matches (Champions League).

Ajax vs Liverpool | Champions League

26/10/2022 19:00

Prediction: 1-2

Napoli is closely affected by the match between Ajax and Liverpool at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam. The Campanians are first in Group A of the Champions League, already certain of qualification for the second round, but if the Lancers manage to slow down the Reds, they will play the part of the Neapolitans, who will get their hands on first place in the group.

Ajax, at 3 points, must take a last step forward towards third place and, in any case, could still aim for second place if they win. Fresh from the championship victory on the field of RKC Waalwijk, the Dutch team finds a Liverpool that, in the last round of the Premier League, suffered a new setback by losing 1-0 at Nottingham Forest.

• In each of their previous eight matches played away from home in the Champions League, Liverpool were able to tally at least one goal.
• In each of Liverpool’s most recent four Champions League matches played away from Anfield, over 2.5 goals were scored.
• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of AFC Ajax’s last four matches in the Champions League. These matches all had heavy scoring.
• Liverpool have won their past three matches in the Champions League by scoring two or more goals in each of those encounters.
• AFC Ajax has been successful in scoring two goals per game on average in the Champions League matches they have played.
• Liverpool are allowing an average of 1.50 goals to be scored against them in their games (Champions League).

Napoli vs Rangers | Champions League

26/10/2022 19:00

Prediction: 3-0

Napoli aim for a twelfth consecutive victory by challenging Rangers at Maradona on the fifth day of the Champions League. The Azzurri have won four out of four games and are already in the second round, but they need a victory to take first mathematical place and hope for a more favorable next round. The opportunity is greedy because the Scots are one of the worst teams in the tournament with zero wins and the most beaten defense.

• In each of SSC Napoli’s most recent four Champions League matches, at least 2.5 goals have been scored by their opponents.
• Rangers FC has given up an average of 2.50 goals per Champions League game in the last few games it has played in.
• When playing at home in Champions League competition, SSC Napoli has scored an average of 4.00 goals per game.

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich | Champions League

26/10/2022 19:00

Prediction: 1-2

It is the last resort for Barcelona, who have only one chance to stay in the running for second place: to beat Bayern Munich and hope that Inter do not do the same with Viktoria Plzen. There is therefore only a little bit of hope for the Blaugrana, who in this competition have won only once with Plzen at the first and then have not been able to forfeit the three points. Bayern, on the other hand, are already in the round of 16 and now also command in the league. The October mini-crisis is a pale memory.

• In their most recent five matches against FC Barcelona, Bayern München has scored at least twice (Champions League).
• The most recent games that Bayern München has played against FC Barcelona have been high-scoring affairs, with each of their past five away Champions League matchups including over 2.5 goals scored.
• When playing at home in Champions League competition, FC Barcelona has scored an average of 4.00 goals per game so far this season.
• In Champions League matches played away from home, Bayern Munich has scored three goals on average, which is the league’s average.

PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal | Europa League

27/10/2022 16:45

Prediction: 1-2

Arsenal have now reached the status of “big”: after a few years in the dark, the Gunners are recovering the scene. And not just in England, where they lead the Premier League (although the last round was not particularly good for the Londoners). Even in the Europa League, in fact, the English are literally dominating, leaving little more than crumbs to the opponents. The two teams met just last week in the recovery of the match postponed due to the celebration of the farewell of Queen Elizabeth, and also on that occasion, it was Arsenal who prevailed, albeit with the minimum gap. A defeat that seems to have hit PSV Eindhoven.

• Every time PSV Eindhoven has played in the Europa League, they have scored an average of 2.75 goals.
• When playing at home in the Europa League, PSV Eindhoven have scored an average of three goals per game.

Manchester United vs Sheriff Tiraspol | Europa League

27/10/2022 19:00

Prediction: 1-0

Manchester United needs only one point to overcome this group stage of the Europa League. United are second with nine points, three points behind Real Sociedad and six points ahead of Sheriff, their opponent on matchday five. Little by little, United are becoming more like what Ten Hag wants, as we can see from the Red Devils’ recent results. This weekend, Manchester United achieved a valuable draw at Stamford Bridge thanks to an accurate header by Casemiro in added time. But the Sheriff does not make things easy for his opponents, and although they have only three points, he does not want to be a mere guest.

• In the three most recent Europa League matches that Sheriff Tiraspol has participated in, they have been unable to score a single goal.
• The Sheriff Tiraspol team scores 0.50 goals on average per game throughout all of their contests (Europa League).

• Manchester United has scored a goal on 0.50 percent of their total shots on goal in their home Europa League matches.
• In their encounters in the Europa League, Manchester United have been penalized by a total of 0.75 goals on average.
