Get ready for an exciting weekend of football action as some of Europe's top teams face off in key matchups.
From the highly anticipated clash between Manchester United and Liverpool to the historic Copa Del Rey Final between Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca, there’s plenty of intrigue on the horizon.
Join us as we delve into the latest analysis and betting picks for these thrilling encounters.
The upcoming Sunday clash between Manchester United and Liverpool holds significant importance for both teams.
For Manchester United, this match will act as a litmus test to gauge whether Erik ten Hag’s team can contend for a Champions League spot in the final stages of the championship. Similar to previous instances, Manchester United has been facing difficulties in consistently accumulating points.
Leading up to their match against Chelsea, they’ve only secured one victory in their last four Premier League games, suffering two losses, including one at home to Fulham. Can this inconsistency allow Manchester United to present a challenge to one of the title contenders?
Liverpool are engaged in a tight contest with Arsenal and Manchester City for the English Premier League title, with the competition consistently seeing the top teams separated by just 1-3 points.
Before their Thursday match, Klopp’s team hadn’t suffered a defeat in regular time for 11 consecutive matches, scoring three or more goals in six of them. The only setback during this period was their exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Manchester United, losing in a penalty shootout after the match.
Overall, there are strong indications that Liverpool will emerge victorious in the upcoming encounter.
Possible picks:
☑️ Liverpool To Win – 1.77
☑️ Liverpool Over 2 – 1.70
☑️ W2 And Over 1.5 – 1.84
Appointing Daniele De Rossi appears to be a promising choice for Roma, and his reputation could soar higher if he leads the team to victory in Saturday’s derby against Lazio.
Since assuming the role from Jose Mourinho, the Italian manager has presided over nine wins, three draws, and just two defeats. One of these losses occurred against Inter Milan, who are on course for the title, while the other was against Brighton.
However, it’s worth noting that Brighton were trailing 4-0 from the first leg of a Europa League tie, making it an insurmountable task for them to overturn the deficit.
Lazio secured a 1-0 victory against Juventus in Serie A last weekend, but they enter this match having suffered a 2-0 defeat to the same opponent in Copa Italia.
Tudor’s team is experiencing a shortage of attacking prowess, with Ciro Immobile presently not displaying the predatory form he’s known for, and other key players finding it challenging to make significant contributions. Goals could be limited in this clash, as evidenced by the previous four H2H games resulting in three 1-0 victories and one 0-0 draw.
Roma have scored one goal and conceded just once in their last three matches, whereas Lazio have only managed a late winner against Juve in their last two outings.
Possible picks:
☑️ Roma To Win – 2.08
☑️ Lazio Under 1 – 1.70
☑️ Both Teams To Score: No – 1.86
Two evenly matched teams are poised to create history in a tightly contested Copa Del Rey Final in Seville on Saturday.
Bilbao’s trophy drought in the cup extends far back, with their previous victory in this competition dating back to 1984. However, they find themselves in a prime position to put an end to this dry spell, given the current strength of the squad under Ernesto Valverde’s management. The Lions have demonstrated defensive solidity in recent matches, allowing goals in just one of their four league games since their convincing 4-0 aggregate victory over Atletico Madrid.
Their lone setback – a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu – stands out among their recent results, which boast eight clean sheets in their last 11 games.
Javier Aguirre’s team currently sits in the fifteenth position in La Liga standings, but they have recorded two wins, one draw, and just one loss in their last four games since eliminating Real Sociedad in the semi-finals.
During this period, Barcelona is the only team to have scored against them, with Xavi’s side narrowly securing a 1-0 victory in that encounter.
Managed by experienced coaches, both teams are likely to maintain a calm atmosphere in the lead-up to this historic match. Prioritizing the defensive capabilities of each side would be a sensible approach when contemplating betting choices for this game.
Possible picks:
☑️ Draw – 3.66
☑️ Total Under 2 – 2.05
☑️ Both Teams To Score: No – 1.61
