Football Predictions Wednesday

Club Brugge v Fiorentina

Jan Breydel Stadion is the venue for this Europa Conference League second leg between Club Brugge and Fiorentina.

Despite being down to 10 men after 61 minutes, Club Brugge were on their way to securing a draw on the road but a last minute goal from M’Bala Nzola has now given the Belgian side a job to do on Wednesday night. The good news for Club Brugge is that they’ve won eight of their last nine games at home in all competitions, this tie isn’t over just yet.

Fiorentina ended the first leg with a total of thirty-one goal attempts, some might say that last minute winner from Nzola was fully deserved for Viola. They’ll now head to Brugge with something to defend, both teams are in brilliant form right now and we were treated on Thursday evening with a thriller, I tipped the 3-2 scoreline at 25/1 in my blog last week, another game like that would be great for the neutral.

I think we’ll be treated again here to another cracker, the last three games that Fiorentina have been involved in have produced at least five goals, (3-2, 5-1, 4-1), whilst Club Brugge have scored at least three goals in five of their last six home games, so I fully expect both teams to score and this time we’ll lean towards Club Brugge with their home advantage.

Real Madrid v FC Bayern Munich

Two giants of European football come head-to-head in Madrid on Wednesday night, as Real Madrid welcome Bayern Munich to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg.

Another entertaining game between these two sides in the first leg has left it all to play for in Madrid on Wednesday evening, a Vinicius Junior brace spared Los Blancos their first defeat in this competition. Despite not leaving Germany with an advantage, Real Madrid won’t be too concerned given they have won all but one of their previous 24 games in a UEFA competition in which they have drawn the first leg away from home, remarkable.

The excitement is growing around this fixture, with both sides just 90 minutes away from securing a place in the final at Wembley, Brazilian Rodrygo feels his side have the momentum; "Now we head to the Bernabéu with the tie open and everything to play for, but we are at our place now. All of us wish the game could kick off right now – we can't wait."

It’s been a tough old season for Bayern Munich under Thomas Tuchel, from being knocked out of the German Cup by minnows Saarbrucken to seeing Bayer Leverkusen dominating the Bundesliga and claiming the title. I’m sure all that might be forgiven by the Bayern Munich faithful if their side can claim their seventh Champions League trophy and their first since 2020, they are just one game away from making that a real possibility.

Thomas Tuchel might feel a little disappointed that his side couldn’t take ad advantage over to Madrid, they were just seven minutes away from doing so before conceding a late penalty. Englishman Harry Kane knows how important this game is; "Everything we're fighting for is in this competition. We've just got to find a way to get it done. Real Madrid away is going to be tough but we've got to go there with full belief and go for the win.". They are going to need that full belief as Bayern Munich haven’t beaten Madrid away from home in their last seven games.

After the first leg, it’s now six games on the bounce between the two that we’ve seen both teams get on the scoresheet, I think we’ll see the same here but I fancy Real Madrid to book their place in the final.

Football Predictions Thursday

Atalanta v Marseille 

Marseille will travel to Bergamo on Thursday evening to face Atalanta in the Europa League semi-final second leg at the Gewiss Stadium.    

It’s still all to play for here in Bergamo after the stalemate in Marseille last week, it was a fairly even game as expected, both teams found the back of the net after just twenty minutes but neither side could find a winner and that advantage heading into this second leg. Dublin awaits for the winner here and Atalanta will feel confident given they’ve won eleven of their last fourteen home games across all competitions.

Marseille might be a little worried about this trip, their away form hasn’t been great of late and they’ve won just once in their last ten away games, they’ve also haven’t won in any of their last four away games in this competition, you feel they needed to come into this game with a lead to defend. Marseille coach Jean-Louis Gasset insists his side will give everything, "We had two or three chances to win the [first leg] 2-1. Then we would have been satisfied. But it is only half-time in the tie and we are going to go and give everything in Italy. We saw [in the first leg] that we could be a danger to them."

I think Atalanta will get the victory here over 90 minutes, their home form is great and Marseille’s troubles on the road, including games in this competition, will give the home side plenty of confidence. Marseille do have a goal in them, they’ve scored in seven of their last ten away games and five in their last six in this competition. 

Bayer Leverkusen v AS Roma

AS Roma look to overcome a 2-0 deficit as they travel to Germany on Thursday evening to face Bayer Leverkusen.

There just doesn’t seem to be any stopping Xabi Alonso’s side this season, they extended their unbeaten run to an unbelieve forty-seven games and kept their treble hopes alive in the process. Avoid defeat here and Bayer Leverkusen will also extend their run to thirteen games without a loss in the Europa League. Xabi Alonso knows just how well his side have done this season; "2-0 is a good result; we go home happy but cautious. What we are doing in this season is outstanding. We have quality players with a very high level of focus. The most difficult thing is to be consistent. We don't want to stop – we want to go on like this until the end of the season."

The Stadio Olimpico is usually a happy place for AS Roma in UEFA competitions, they had lost just once in thirty-two UEFA competition matches before Bayer Leverkusen arrived. Daniele De Rossi’s side will need to do what seems like the impossible at the Bay Arena if they are to make it a third consecutive European final. 

Roma will obviously have to go all out here if they are to book their place in the Europa League final in Dublin, which should leave plenty of space for Bayer Leverkusen to exploit, I expect this unbelievable run from the German side to continue, home win.

Olympiacos v Aston Villa

Aston Villa will travel to Greece on Thursday night to face Olympiacos in the Europa Conference League semi-final second leg.

Olympiacos are just 90 minutes away from securing their place in the Europa Conference League final, they would be just the second Greek side to reach a major UEFA competition final and the first since Panathinaikos in 1971. They were very impressive in their 4-2 victory over Aston Villa last week, they’ve also won eight of their last ten home games, although they did lose 4-1 here in this competition against Maccabi Tel-Aviv.

Aston Villa felt it just wasn’t their night at Villa Park on Thursday, captain John McGinn is still backing his side to turn it around though, “Everything that could have gone wrong, did”.. "It's up to us to go to Athens and turn it around, because I know we're capable.", they might have felt a little confident of getting a result had Douglas Luiz scored his penalty late on, but they’ve got a bit of a mountain to climb here and they’ll have to do it with a hostile crowd in Greece.

Aston Villa are the betting favourites to take victory over 90 minutes here, I’ve got to agree with the market as well, I feel the Premier League side have better quality within their squad and they should have enough to get a victory, but will it be enough to see them secure a place in the final?

Football Predictions Friday

Brest v Stade de Reims

Stade Francis-Le Ble is the venue on Friday evening for this fixture between Brest and Reims in Ligue 1.

Brest are still on their way to finishing in the top four in Ligue 1 and qualifying for the Champions League next season but a slight hiccup against Nantes on Saturday evening means they could have invited a little pressure on themselves by the time they kick off here. However, with just two games left to play, realistically its almost a certainty, the only worry should be if they can hold on to third place which guarantees the UCL group stage.

Stade de Reims employed the youngest manager in Europe’s top five leagues last season when they appointed 30-year-old Will Still but that all came to an end on Thursday with the two parting ways. Reims are currently twelfth in Ligue 1, they’ve lost their last three games including a 4-1 defeat to bottom of the league Clermont Foot, the best they can now hope for is a top half finish, they’ll be looking to end the season as strongly as possible.

Reims are an entertaining side on the road, they hold the record in Ligue 1 for the most away games to produce both teams to score, with thirteen of their sixteen games seeing both teams hit the back of the net, a massive 81%. I expect to see the same thing here given four of the last five meetings between the two have produced the same. 1-1. 

Nice v Le Havre

Relegation threatened Le Havre travel to the Allianz Riviera to face Nice on Friday evening in Ligue 1.

With just three games left to play, Nice still have dreams of finishing in the top four in Ligue 1 and securing Champions League football for next season, although it’s looking more likely to be Europa League place for Francesco Farioli’s side. The Eaglets are unbeaten in their last four games as they look to end the season strongly.

Le Havre are fighting to stay in the French top-flight for next season, after their impressive 3-1 victory in their last outing against Strasbourg, the Dean Club have given themselves a three-point gap to the relegation zone with just two games to play, even a draw here could see Le Havre secure their top flight status, depending on results elsewhere. 

Just one win on the road for Le Havre although they hold the record for the most away draws in Ligue 1, with nine of their sixteen games ending in a stalemate.  These two sides met for the first time in fourteen years back in December and Le Havre came out victorious (3-1). Nice have actually only beaten Le Havre once in their last seventeen games, I think we’ll see Le Havre defy the odds here and get at least a draw.

Football Predictions Saturday

Celtic v Rangers

This one is huge in terms of the Scottish Premiership title, as Celtic and Rangers meet in a what is likely to be a feisty affair in Glasgow.

Celtic looked to have missed their chance of claiming their 54th Scottish title but after putting an unbeaten run together in their last six league games, including a 3-3 draw away to Rangers in April, the Bhoys find themselves top of the league by three points with just three games left to play. Brendan Rodgers side already have to advantage on goal difference but as long as they don’t get beat here, you’d expect them to go on and take the league title again.

Following their draw with Celtic back in April, the two games that came after that looked to have cost Rangers the title, it most certainly gave Celtic the advantage after a 3-2 loss away to Ross County and then a 0-0 draw at Dundee just three games later. Since then, the Gers have put together three consecutive wins, two of which are come in the league, a win here is a must for Rangers if they want to keep their title hopes alive, three points behind their bitter rivals with a smaller goal difference.

This will be a really good watch, Celtic will fancy their chances at Celtic Park given they’ve won the last three head to heads here whilst Rangers haven’t taken all three points on the road in this fixture since 2020, a game played behind closed doors.

Fulham v Manchester City

Manchester City will make the trip to West London on Saturday in the Premier League’s early kick off, as they take on Fulham at Craven Cottage. 

Just one win in their last five Premier League games, Fulham look like they’re already on the beach, the best Marco Silva’s side can hope for now is a top half finish but they are four points behind Bournemouth in tenth with just two games left to play, it’s a big ask. It’s rare you’ll see a game end in a draw at Craven Cottage, they’ve drawn just twice in their eighteen league games there this season, I’m sure they would be happy with a draw here.

Manchester City are closing in on their fourth consecutive Premier League title which would be a new league record, just one point behind Arsenal heading into this game albeit with a game in hand. These last three games for Manchester City come with so much pressure and you feel other sides wouldn’t be able to handle it too well, this side definitely can and a victory here would put Pep Guardiola’s side at the summit of the Premier League, with their title contenders playing the other half of Manchester on Sunday afternoon.

This should be fairly straight forward for Manchester City, they’ve beaten Fulham in their last fifteen head-to-head matches, with the reverse fixture finishing 5-1 at the Etihad Stadium in September. Meanwhile, eight of the last ten between these two in West London have seen both teams find the back of the net.

Freiburg v Heidenheim

The Europa-Park Stadion will host this Bundesliga fixture on Saturday afternoon between Freiburg and Heidenheim. 

This is a big game for both these sides, Freiburg need a win to keep their dreams alive of playing European football again next season, this time it’s looking likely to be the Europa Conference League. With just two games left to play in the league, they currently occupy that last qualifying spot (7th) with 41 points, just one point ahead of Hoffenheim.

Heidenheim have had a brilliant season so far and they could make it really special by finishing in the top seven and securing European football, they are just three points behind their opponents here with a better goal difference, meaning a result here could move them into the top seven if other results go their way. It’s a very slim chance given five other teams are still able to challenge Freiburg, but you just never know in football.

These two sides have met just once in the Bundesliga and that was earlier in the season, Heidenheim took all three points in that game with a 3-2 victory on home soil. However, they’ve won just three of their sixteen games away from home in the Bundesliga, they may have their work cut out here.

Newcastle United v Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton & Hove Albion will take the long trip up north for Saturday afternoon’s Premier League fixture against Newcastle United. 

Newcastle United are still hoping to end this season with some sort of European football, realistically it looks to be the one they’ve been fighting for most recently which is the Europa Conference League, it looks to be a shootout between themselves, Chelsea and Manchester United. However, Tottenheam have now lost four games on the bounce, with three games left to play, the Toon Army are now just four points behind Spurs and the Europa League spot, if they want to keep that slim chance alive, they’ve got to win here.

Brighton looked to had headed to the beach early looking at their recent results, the Seagulls were without a win in their last six Premier League games before Aston Villa headed to the south coast on Sunday afternoon, an unexpected 1-0 victory for Roberto De Zerbi’s side once again highlights the inconsistency this season, a victory here could see them move into the top half of the table.

Newcastle look to be back on top form, they’ve lost just once in their seven Premier League games and are unbeaten on home soil since January (7 games). I think Eddie Howe’s side will get the victory here as Brighton have won just once in their last games on the road, which came at relegated Sheffield United.

Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley

Tottenham Hotspur welcome Burnley to North London on Saturday afternoon in this Premier League clash.

Tottenham haven’t had a good end to the season, after their thumping of fellow top four challengers Aston Villa at the time, it all looked set up for Spurs to go and claim that final Champions League spot in the Premier League but it’s not gone to plan. They’ve now lost their last four games in the league, granted all four games came against tough opponents but the biggest worry is the goals that Ange Postecoglou’s side are conceding in this set up, their defence has now been breached thirteen times in those four games, they’ll be looking to bounce back here.

This is literally a must win for Burnley if they are to put together a great escape and survive in the Premier League, after putting together a fairly decent run which gave the Clarets some hope of pulling off what looked like the impossible at one stage, a 4-1 hammering at home to Newcastle on Saturday has put a major dent in their survival hopes and they now need to win both of their remaining games and hope results go there way, anything other than three points here would see Vincent Kompany’s side return to the Championship.

Tottenham have beaten Burnley in ten of their eleven meetings as the home side, Burnley are yet to win on the road against Spurs, I think they’ll struggle again here and the home side should bounce back and seal the Clarets fate.

West Ham United v Luton Town

Luton Town will travel to the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon knowing a defeat to West Ham United will all but send the hatters back to the Championship.

West Ham United have confirmed that they will part ways with manager David Moyes at the end of the season with strong rumours of former Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui to take over. West Ham’s season is over now, their final two games will just be played with hope of giving Moyes a good send off, he deserves it after their Europa Conference League success last season.

Luton Town know their fate could be sealed this weekend, if Nottingham Forest beat Chelsea on Saturday evening, it doesn’t matter what the Hatters do here, it would take a humongous victory over Fulham if they are to stay up via goal difference. However, if Rob Edwards’ side can get a victory here and Chelsea beat Forest, they’ll head into the final game of the season with something to play for, it’s a real case of now or never for Luton Town. 

These two sides have met once in competitively since the turn of the millennium, that was actually the reverse fixture back in September, where the Hammers won 2-1 at Kenilworth Road. One thing which is usually guaranteed from this Luton Town side is entertainment, they’ve got the league high of 78% for both teams scoring in their away games, I think Luton will keep that entertaining football going here.

Napoli v Bologna

Bologna will take on Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday evening in Serie A.

Napoli climbed above Fiorentina after their 1-1 draw away to Udinese on Monday, they now occupy the final European spot (Europa Conference League) with a point advantage over the Viola, albeit they’ve played a game more and the two sides meet next weekend. After winning the Scudetto last season, Napoli have disappointed in this campaign, they’ve won and drawn six of their seventeen games at home, losing the remaining five, they’ve also drawn three of their last four games on home soil.

Champions League football looked all but secured following Bologna’s impressive 3-1 victory at Roma but since then, they’ve failed to pull away for their challengers after two recent stalemate’s, which they should have won really. They’ve now got Atalanta hot on their heals as they look to have hit form just at the right time, the Veltri still have a four-point lead in fourth, albeit having played a game more. Three games left for Thiago Motta’s side, one more win could seal that precious UCL spot, If results go in their favour elsewhere. 

Six of the last seven meetings between these two sides in Naples have seen both teams on the scoresheet, whilst the last two meetings have ended in draws. Napoli have drawn twelves of their thirty-five games (34%), whilst Bologna have seen nine of their seventeen games on the road end in a stalemate (53%), don’t be surprised if we get a score draw here.

Nottingham Forest v Chelsea

Chelsea will make the trip to the East Midlands to face Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening in the Premier League. 

Nottingham Forest put their Premier League survival into their own hands after a 3-1 victory away to already relegated Sheffield United on Saturday, that win moves Forest three points clear of the drop and even a draw here could secure Premier League safety for another year, depending on how Luton get on in the earlier kick off. With an advantage of +11 goal difference to the Hatters, it looks like the Tricky Trees will be safe but they’d love to do it in front of their own fans after what they’ve been through this season.

Chelsea are really putting together a challenge for that final European spot, back-to-back wins have moved the Blues above Manchester United into seventh and now just two points behind Newcastle United, it’s a three team shootout and Chelsea will be looking to keep their winning streak going in their final three games of the season. 

Nottingham Forest actually took all three points in the reverse fixture back in September, looking at the head-to-head stats, Chelsea haven’t beaten Forest in any of their last three Premier League meetings, there’s been two draws and that win for the Reds as mentioned, despite their winning form, Pochettino’s side haven’t won on the road in their last six games, drawing four of those, three of which ended 2-2, let’s back the same here.

Granada CF v Real Madrid

Newly crowned La Liga Champions Real Madrid will travel to the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes to face relegation threaten Granada CF on Saturday evening.  

Granada have to win all of their remaining four games in La Liga and still hope that results go in their favour elsewhere if they are to avoid the drop, their stay in the Spanish top-flight could all come to an end after just one season on Saturday evening if they don’t beat Real Madrid, it’s a tough ask given they’ve won just four of their thirty-four games this season.

Real Madrid claimed their thirty-sixth La Liga title with four games still to play, it’s not surprising given the season that Los Blancos are producing, losing just once in their thirty-four league games so far, fully deserved. Despite already wrapping up the title, Carlos Ancelotti won’t let his side drop their standards and will be looking to continue their winning streak and end the season with as many points as possible. 

Real Madrid have won eighteen of their nineteen games against Granada, they dominate this fixture, Los Blancos have also sored four in three of their last four meetings on the road to Granada, I think Madrid will dominate this fixture once again and confirm Granada’s relegation. 1-4.

Athletic Club v Osasuna

Athletic Club will welcome Osasuna to the Estadio San Mames on Saturday evening in La Liga.  

With four games left to play, Athletic Club are currently six points behind Atletico Madrid. The side from Bilbao were hoping to end the season with Champions League football given they’ve been fighting Atleti for that fourth place for a while now, but with just one win in their last five league games and with Atleti securing four wins from their last five, the dream looks to be over. However, Athletic Club will still take pride in finishing the season with a Europa League place, which they should see out from here.

Osasuna are safe with thirty-nine points and they’ll feel it a good job really, given they are ending their season in terrible form, just one win in their last seven games, six of those have all ended in defeat. A midtable finish for Osasuna could be on the cards given they are only four points off with four games to go, but they’ll have to put together some better performances, otherwise they could find themselves dropping down the table instead. 

Athletic Club have been brilliant at the Estadio San Mames this season, they’ve lost just once in the league here and have taken maximum points in eleven of their seventeen home games, they’ll fancy their chances of another victory again and look to secure Europa League football at the very least. 2-0.

Football Predictions Sunday

Atletico Madrid v Celta Vigo

Celta Vigo will take a trip to the Spanish capital on Sunday afternoon to take on Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano Stadium in this La Liga clash. 

With four wins in their last five league games, Atleti have given themselves a bit of breathing room in their hopes of securing another Champions League campaign for next season. Currently fourth in La Liga, they are now six points ahead of Athletic Club with just four games left to play, their 3-1 victory recently over their top four challengers looks to be a very important victory. Only their rivals Real Madrid have a better home record than Atleti, they’ve lost just once at the Metropolitano Stadium in the league, winning fifteen of their seventeen games, impressive.

Celta secured a huge victory last weekend with a 3-2 win over Villarreal, not quite safe yet but they are definitely moving in the right direction with just four games left to play. The win on Sunday moved the Sky Blues all the way up to fifteenth on goal difference, a win here could see them secure La Liga football for the thirteenth year on the run, depending on results elsewhere. 

Atleti should be confident of picking up three points here, not only do they have that brilliant home record, they also haven’t lost to Celta in their last ten meetings, with the side from Madrid winning seven of them, I think we’ll see a comfortable home win here.

Manchester United v Arsenal

Manchester United will come head-to-head with Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League.  

Manchester United were humiliated on Monday evening after their 4-0 defeat away to Crystal Palace in the league, they might be short on numbers in terms of players but the whole performance was horrendous, you feel if the Red Devils hadn’t been in the FA Cup final, they might have parted ways with Erik ten Hag already. It looks like these players have thrown another manager under the bus, United are now 2 points off the Europa League Conference spot in the Premier League with just three games left to play. They have a chance of potentially topping Arsenal’s title challenge here, although that would result in their bitter rivals Man City winning the league instead.

It’s been a brilliant season for Arsenal, with just two games left to play in the league, it’s fair to say the Gunners simply have to win both fixtures and hope that Manchester City can drop points in the meantime. Old Trafford is a ground that Arsenal tend to struggle at, they’ve won just once there in the Premier League since 2007 which is a massive concern, although given the squad that Man United have available, they’ll fancy their chances of changing that poor record in Manchester.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last four league games, scoring thirteen goals in the process and conceding just twice. Fulham were the last London side to visit Old Trafford and picked up a 2-1 victory, seven of United’s last nine games on home soil have seen both teams hit the back of the net.

Juventus v Salernitana 

Already relegated Salernitana will head to Turin to face Juventus at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday evening in Serie A.  

After four draws in their last four Serie A games, this is a great chance for Juventus to get back to winning ways. The Old Lady currently occupy third place in the league and are on track to securing themselves Champions League football for next season. They could count themselves lucky that the teams around them have also had a slight dip in form, otherwise they could find themselves in a real top four battle, a victory here though could seal one of those UCL spots depending on how results go elsewhere.

Salernitana will be playing in Serie B next season, their fate has been sealed for a long time really given they’ve won just two of their thirty-five games in the league, the Garnets have a total of fifteen points so far, which would never be good enough to stay in this league and a real disappointment given they managed an impressive 42 points last season, they’ll be playing in Italy’s second flight for the first time in three years. 

Juventus should get a comfortable win here, they’ve lost just once at home this season in the league whilst Salernitana have scored just eleven goals in their seventeen games on the road, conceding a league high of thirty-nine away from home, 3-0 to the Old Lady.
