Eredivisie – AZ vs Excelsior – 1
With 4 crushing big-margin defeats and 1 draw against Excelsior, AZ Alkmaar will be looking to continue the onslaught when both sides face each other in the Eredivisie with AZ Alkmaar at home. AZ have decent home form and should do enough to dispatch their visitors.
UCL – Bayern Munich vs Royale Union – 1
The Bavarian giants are overwhelming favorites in this tie, and despite upsets to the likes of Manchester City and PSG in the last matchday, it’s difficult to see the Belgians not being whitewashed at the Allianz Arena. Real Madrid has leapfrogged them on the table after thrashing Monaco 6-1, and Vincent Kompany’s men will be eager to regain their second-place position behind Arsenal.
Saudi Professional League – Damac vs Al Nassr – 2
Despite Al Nassr’s faltering in recent weeks, they should be too strong for Damac, a side they’ve beaten 8 times consecutively in the last 8 games. Damac have not won at home in their last 8 home games, with 4 losses and 4 draws, and Al Nassr have only lost to fellow title contenders Al Ahli and Al Hilal away from home, preceded by a draw against Al Ettifaq. That being said, their firepower should be enough to earn all 3 points from this fixture and remain close to the number 1 spot, although Al Hilal have opened up an advantageous gap at the top of the table.
UCL – Slavia Prague vs Barcelona – 2
This should be just another day in the office win for Lamine Yamal and his colleagues against a side with just 3 points in 6 games in the competition. Regardless, they won’t throw caution to the wind after being humbled away from home on the last league matchday by Real Sociedad.
Saudi Division 1 – Al Jabalain vs Al Batin – 1
Al Jabalain are favorites for all 3 points as they host Al Batin, who have 4 draws and 6 losses in their last 10 away games, as well as 4 draws and 11 losses in their last 15 games combined. H2H favors Al Jabalain with 3 consecutive wins in the last 7 games, preceded by 4 consecutive draws. Al Batin are at the bottom of the table with 4 points while Al Jabalain sit 6th with 30 points and still a lot to play for. I see the home side garnering maximum points in this one.
UCL – Qarabag vs Eintracht Frankfurt – Over 2.5
Qarabag have been no pushovers in this year’s UCL competition and are even better placed than their visitors on the UCL log. The Azerbaijan giants sit 25th with 7 points, 1 point below the playoff places, while the Bundesliga outfit sit 33rd with 4 points. This is a tricky game, and we’ll go with the option of over 2.5 goals, as there will definitely be goals in this game.
UCL – Chelsea vs Pafos – 1
Liam Rosenior makes his managerial debut in the UCL at Stamford Bridge as Cyprus side Pafos come visiting. Chelsea can make it into the automatic qualifying spot for now with a good win, and they’ll be raring to go, alongside the new manager bounce factor in play. This should be a home win for the Blues.
UCL – Marseille vs Liverpool – Over 1.5
One never knows what to expect from Liverpool nowadays, so the safest option is to go for at least 2 goals to be scored in this game, with both sides looking to make it to the automatic qualifying places for the next round of the competition.
