Predictions 09-12.05.2022

Aston Villa vs Liverpool | Premier League (10.05.2022, 21:00)

Liverpool can no longer be wrong. After the 1-1 draw with Newcastle, they have lost ground to Manchester City, even if it must be said that Salah and his teammates have not known the word defeat since March and therefore can still hope for a comeback. Three matches from the end, there are three points to recover for Klopp’s team, which from now on can only win, hoping that the citizens will slow down their race, otherwise the title will vanish.

The next match will be against Aston Villa, who are going through a good period of form as evidenced by the last two consecutive victories against Burnley and Norwich (3-1 and 2-1) and the draw with Leicester (0-0). The prediction obviously hangs on the side of the guests also, because the hosts have nothing more to ask from the championship. With 43 points, they have been saved arithmetically for some time.  

Form Guide

Aston Villa LLLDWW

Aston Villa will look to build on their 1-3 Premier League triumph against Burnley last time around.

Aston Villa had 51 percent possession and 12 shots on goal, seven of which were on goal. Ings (7′), Emiliano Buenda (31′), and Ollie Watkins (52′) scored goals for Aston Villa. Burnley, on the other hand, had 14 shots on goal, six of which were on target. Burnley’s Maxwel Cornet scored in the 91st minute.

Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa have scored six goals in their last six games, resulting in an average of one goal per match.

Aston Villa vs Liverpool Predicted XI

Aston Villa Predicted XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne, McGinn, Luiz, Chambers, Buendia, Ings, Watkins.

Liverpool Predicted XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson, Keita, Fabinho, Alcantara, Salah, Mané, Díaz.

Prediction

The match against Aston Villa will end with Liverpool’s victory. The Reds are stronger than their rivals; the rankings and seasonal goals say so. They haven’t lost a race since March and, in the meantime, have struck 11 wins in 14 races.

We add a 0-3, in addition to the success. It is difficult to think that fewer than two goals will be scored since on the field there will be the second best attack of the tournament with 87 goals in 35 games. Aston Vila thus risks acting only as a sparring partner.

Barcelona vs Celta Vigo | La Liga (10.05.2022, 21:30)

Barcelona is second and already mathematically qualified for the next Champions League, while Celta Vigo is eleventh, saved from relegation for some time and with no possibility of entering the lot of teams that will participate in international competitions in the 2022-2023 season. The next match at the Camp Nou is the end-of-season challenge ranking in which the Blaugrana will not only take the field to protect the second position (Sevilla and Atletico Madrid are at minus four and minus five), but will try to find the second success in a row at home after they had lost three consecutive games with Rayo Vallecano, Cadiz, and Frankfurt at the end of April, a knockout that sanctioned the exit from the Europa League.

Celta Vigo arrive at the match after a 4-0 success against Alaves and a 1-1 draw with Granada, two good results considering that the team has had no goals for some time. 

Form Guide

Barcelona LLWLWW

Barcelona will be hoping to duplicate their 1-2 La Liga victory over Real Betis.

In the game, Barcelona had 58 percent possession and 11 shots on goal, five of which were on target. Ansu Fati (76′) and Jordi Alba (94′) scored goals for Barcelona. Real Betis had 15 shots on goal against them, with 5 of them on target. Real Betis’ goal came from Marc Bartra (79′).

Barcelona has only rarely been able to hold out for the full 90 minutes in recent years. In actuality, Barcelona have allowed opponents to score in five of their past six games, allowing seven goals in the process.

In their last two games, Barcelona failed to defeat Celta Vigo. 

Celta Vigo LLWLDW

Celta Vigo will enter the match fresh off a 4-0 La Liga victory over Alaves in their previous meeting.

Celta Vigo controlled the game with 67 percent possession and 14 shots on goal, six of which were on target. (6′), Iago Aspas (34′, 66′), and Franco Cervi (57′) scored for Celta Vigo. Alaves, on the other hand, had three shots on goal, one of which was on target.

Celta Vigo, led by Eduardo Coudet, has scored eight goals in their last six matches. Six goals were scored against them in the same games.

Celta Vigo had not lost in their previous two league away matches coming into this match.

Injured and suspended

Barcelona: (Nico González, Gerard Piqué, Sergi Roberto, Pedri, Moussa Wagué, Sergiño Dest).

Celta Vigo: clean bill of health and no suspension concerns.

Barcelona vs Celta Vigo Predicted XI

Barcelona Predicted XI: Ter Stegen; Alves, R. Araujo, Garcia, Alba; Gavi, De Jong, Puig, Dembele, Aubameyang, Torres.

Celta Vigo Predicted XI: Dituro; Vazquez, N. Araujo, Aidoo, Galan; Beltran; Mendez, Suarez, Cervi; Aspas, Galhardo.

Prediction

The match between Barcelona and Celta Vigo has nothing to do with the standings. The two teams have achieved their respective goals and it is likely that a match will be played at the Camp Nou with a clear head and probable drops in concentration. We predict goals for both teams for tactical reasons as well. At the Camp Nou, Barcelona is frequently accused of leaving space for opponents, which Celta Vigo will undoubtedly exploit. It is difficult to believe that the league’s second best attack will not go to sign at home against a mid-table team.

Our prediction is that Barcelona will win by a 3-1 margin at the end of the game.  

Wolves vs Manchester City | Premier League (11.05.2022, 21:15)

With a 5-0 win against Newcastle United on the final matchday, Manchester City have come close to winning the 2021/2022 Premier League title. In fact, Pep Guardiola’s men have in fact brought to 3 points the advantage over Liverpool, who did not go beyond the draw against Tottenham, and in the next round they will try to win at Molineaux Stadium, where they will face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the recovery of the 33rd day.

The Wolves are currently eighth but a success would relaunch them in the race for a place in Europe next season, so it is clear that Bruno Lage’s team will fight hard, especially in front of their home crowd. The “Wolves” have not won in 4 games, but after 3 knockouts in a row, they drew 2-2 at Chelsea.

Form Guide

Wolverhampton Wanderers LWLLLD

Wolves come into this game with a 2-2 Premier League draw against Chelsea.

Wolverhampton Wanderers had 41% possession and 14 shots on goal, four of which were on target, in that encounter. Trinco (79′) and Conor Coady (97′) scored goals for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Chelsea attempted 19 attempts on goal, six of which were on target. Chelsea’s goals came from Romelu Lukaku (56′, 58′).

Wolverhampton Wanderers have rarely been able to hold out for the full 90 minutes in recent games. Wolverhampton Wanderers have been scored against in six of their last six games, allowing 11 goals in the process.

Wolverhampton Wanderers had not won against Manchester City in their previous three meetings. 

Manchester City WWWWLW

Man City come into this match on the back of a 5-0 Premier League victory over Newcastle United.

In the game, Manchester City had 71 percent possession and 21 shots on goal, 9 of which were on target. Raheem Sterling (19′, 90′), Aymeric Laporte (38′), Rodri (61′), and Phil Foden (90′) scored for Manchester City. Newcastle United had seven shots on goal, three of which were on target.

Manchester City have scored a plethora of goals in their last six games, thanks to their improved offensive play (22 in all).

Manchester City are unbeaten in their past 15 league away matches going into this fixture. 

Injured and suspended

Wolverhampton Wanderers: (Rúben Neves, Max Kilman, Daniel Podence, Matija Sarkic)

Manchester City: clean bill of health and no suspension concerns.

Manchester United vs Chelsea Predicted XI

Wolverhampton Wanderers Predicted XI: Sa, Boly, Coady, Saiss, Jonny, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Nouri, Chiquinho, Hwang, Jimenez.

Manchester City Predicted XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Fernandinho, Laporte, Zinchenko, De Bruyne, Rodri, Gündogan, Sterling, Jesus, Grealish.

Prediction

Manchester City could have a matchpoint in hand this week dedicated to recoveries. Pep Guardiola’s team has been impressive in recent weeks and after the loss in the Champions League, they come as a clear favorite at Molineaux Stadium for a fifth game of victory.

When the final whistle blows, we expect Manchester City to win by a comfortable 0-2 score. 

Juventus vs Inter Milan | Coppa Italia (11.05.2022, 21:00)

The fourth and last head-to-head of the season between Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus and Simone Inzaghi’s Inter. The series of direct clashes began on October 24th in Milan in the league with a 1-1 draw and continued again at San Siro on January 12th with the final of the Italian Super Cup, won at the last minute of extra time by Inter. 2-1, while on April 3, the second leg of the championship won by Inter 1-0 was played at the Allianz Stadium in Turin amid the controversy of an arbitration that did not seem up to par.

And, while Inter are fighting for the Scudetto in the league, having won 4-2 at home against Empoli after trailing by two goals, Juventus appear to have laid down their weapons after yet another poor performance this season. 

Form Guide

Juventus WDWWWL

Juventus will be looking to bounce back after a 2-1 Serie A loss to Genoa in their previous match.

Juventus controlled the ball 54 percent of the time and had 12 shots on goal, four of which were on target. Paulo Dybala (48′) was Juventus’ only goal scorer. Genoa had 18 shots on goal, with 6 of them being on target. Genoa’s goals came from Albert Gumundsson (87′) and Domenico Criscito (96′).

In recent games, Juventus hasn’t preserved a clean sheet very often. Juventus’ defense has been breached in five of their previous six matches, allowing six goals in the process.

Inter Milan WWWLWW

Inter Milan enter this match on the back of a 4-2 Serie A victory over Empoli in their most recent match.

During the game, Inter Milan had 65 percent possession and 37 shots on goal, 10 of which were on target. Inter Milan scored goals through Martnez (45′, 64′) and Sánchez (90′). Empoli, on the other hand, had four shots on goal, two of which were on target. Empoli’s goals came from Andrea Pinamonti (5′), Kristjan Asllani (28′), and Simone Romagnoli (40′ own goal).

Inter Milan have had no trouble breaking down opposing defenses in the build-up to this match, scoring 16 goals in their previous six games.

Injured and suspended

Juventus: (Manuel Locatelli, Weston McKennie, Federico Chiesa, Kaio Jorge)

Inter Milan: (Alessandro Bastoni)

West Ham United vs Eintracht Frankfurt Predicted XI

Juventus Predicted XI: Szczesny; Chiellini, Bonucci, De Ligt; Bernardeschi, Zakaria, Arthur, Rabiot, Pellegrini; Morata, Vlahovic.

Inter Milan Predicted XI: Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Dimarco; Darmian, Vidal, Brozovic, Gagliardini, Perisic; Dzeko, Martinez.

Prediction

Juventus-Inter is never a match like any other, exacerbated in recent decades by an increasingly strong rivalry that has also resulted in off-pitch situations. This season, it was a tense game on three out of three occasions.

As a result, we anticipate a hard-fought match that will end with Inter Milan winning 0-1 at the end of the game.  

Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal | Premier League (12.05.2022, 20:45)

The North London derby, that is, the challenge that opposes Tottenham to Arsenal, is perhaps one of the most felt London derbies, and on this occasion it has another value because if Mikel Arteta’s Gunners were to conquer Tottenham Stadium, they would be mathematically sure of taking part in the next Champions League, leaving Antonio Conte’s men with the meager satisfaction of fighting until the last day of the Europa League race. 

The Spurs lost some ground on the final match day as they nevertheless stopped Liverpool at Anfield Road 1-1. At the same time, Arsenal beat Leeds United 2-1 at home, bringing the victories to four in a row, including those with direct opponents in the upper areas of the table such as Chelsea, Manchester United, and West Ham United.

Form Guide

Tottenham Hotspur WWLDWD

Tottenham Hotspur are coming off a 1-1 tie against Liverpool in the Premier League.

In that encounter, Tottenham Hotspur had 34% possession and 8 shots on goal, three of which were on target. Heung-Min Son (56′) scored for Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool had 22 shots on goal, three of which were on goal. Liverpool’s goal came from Luis Daz (74′).

According to their current results, the Tottenham Hotspur defense can’t do much more. Tottenham Hotspur have kept things tight, with four goals in their last six games.

Tottenham Hotspur have not beaten Arsenal in their last two league matches.  

Arsenal LLWWWW

Arsenal will enter this match on the back of a 2-1 Premier League victory over Leeds United in their most recent match.

Arsenal had 64% possession and 19 shots on goal, 9 of which were on target in that game. Eddie Nketiah (5′, 10′) scored the goals for Arsenal. Leeds United had three shots on goal, two of which were on target. Leeds United scored with Diego Llorente (66′).

Arsenal have been scored against in six of their previous six games, conceding a total of eight goals. Arsenal can surely improve its defensive performance. 

Injured and suspended

Tottenham Hotspur: (Japhet Tanganga, Oliver Skipp, Matt Doherty)

Arsenal: (Thomas Partey, Kieran Tierney)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal Predicted XI

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Royal, Bentancur, Højbjerg, Sessegnon, Kulusevski, Kane, Son.

Arsenal Predicted XI: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Holding, Gabriel, Soares, Ødegaard, Elneny, Xhaka, Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli.  

Prediction

Tottenham will have to fight hard against an Arsenal that has made full loot in the last four games by winning two derbies on the fields of Chelsea and West Ham United, among other things. Arteta’s team could also take away the luxury of equalizing at Spurs to place a very important mortgage on the Champions League.

When the final whistle blows, we believe that the final score will be a draw.
