Predictions 30.09-02.10.2022

Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen | Bundesliga (30.09.2022, 18:30)

Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen face off to give criticism a kick. Both teams shine in Europe but struggle in the Bundesliga. The Bavarians haven’t won in four matches, with three draws and the last defeat against Hamburg. a roadmap that brought them back to fifth place, five points behind the leaders, Union Berlin.

The first part of the season with Bayer is also difficult, as they have only won five points to date and are in full battle to avoid relegation. In the last few matches, the Asperines have never won, drawing with Werder Bremen and Herta Berlin and losing against Freiburg.

Form Guide

Bayern Munich WDWDWL

After suffering a 1-0 defeat against Augsburg in their most recent Bundesliga match, Bayern Munich will be looking to get back on the winning track.

During that match, Bayern Munich held control of the ball for 76% of the game and had 19 shots on goal, with 6 of those shots finding the target. Augsburg, the team they were playing against, had 11 shots on goal, with 4 of them finding the target.

The most recent results of these teams shed light on the fact that the Bayern Munich defense does not have a lot of room for improvement. Because Bayern Munich have been so good at keeping things tight at the back, the total number of goals that have been scored against them in their previous six matches is just four.

Bayer Leverkusen WLLDWD

The most recent encounter that Bayer Leverkusen played in was a Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

During that match, Bayer Leverkusen had 54% of the control of the ball and 19 shots on goal, with 7 of those shots being on target. Werder Bremen attempted 19 shots on goal, 7 of which were successful.

Bayer Leverkusen, led by Gerardo Seoane, have found the back of the net a combined 10 times over the course of their most recent six matches. In those games, they have lost by a total of 7 goals, which is how many they have given up. 

Injured and suspended

Bayern Munich: (Kingsley Coman, Lucas Hernández).

Bayer Leverkusen: clean bill of health and no suspension concerns.

Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Predicted XI

Bayern Munich Predicted XI: Neuer; Pavard, De Ligt, Upamecano, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Sane, Musiala, Gnabry; Mane.

Bayer Leverkusen Predicted XI: Hradecky; Kossounou, Tah, Tapsoba; Frimpong, Andrich, Demirbay, Bakker; Hudson-Odoi, Diaby; Schick.

Prediction

We think Bayern Munich will be able to get a good number of scoring chances and shots on goal in this game, which they should be able to do.

On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen may have trouble finding the back of the net, despite the fact that we believe it is likely that they will, at times, also be dangerous.

So, we think that Bayern Munich will be able to keep their commanding 3–1 lead until the referee blows the final whistle. 

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur | Premier League (01.10.2022, 11:30)

North London Derby at the Emirates Stadium, where Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal face Tottenham Hotspur, coached by Antonio Conte, on the ninth day of the Premier League. A challenge worthy of the top of the table, given that the Gunners lead the league with 18 points and Spurs and Manchester City are separated by only one length.

Before the break Arsenal went to conquer the Brentford field for 0-3 with goals from William Saliba, Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira, while Tottenham won at home with a 6-2 tennis match against Leicester City in which after the goals from Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Rodrigo Bentancur came the hat-trick from Son Heung-Min.

Form Guide

Arsenal WWWLWW

Fans of Arsenal will be hoping for a result similar to their team’s most recent Premier League game, which was a 3-0 victory against Brentford.

Arsenal controlled 64% of the game’s possession and had 13 shots on goal, with 7 of them finding their mark. On the other hand, Brentford had five shots on goal, with two of them actually hitting the target.

There has been an average of at least three goals scored per game in each of the last six contests that Arsenal has taken part in. During this time frame, Arsenal’s opponents scored six goals, while the Gunners themselves racked up thirteen.

Tottenham Hotspur WDWWLW

In their most recent outing, Tottenham Hotspur prevailed against Leicester City by a score of 6-2 in the Premier League.

During that game, Tottenham Hotspur held a 44 percent possession advantage and had 16 shots on goal, 11 of which were on target. On the other hand, Leicester City had 19 shots on goal, with 7 of them actually hitting the target. 

A total of 13 goals have been scored by the Tottenham Hotspur team managed by Antonio Conte throughout the course of their most recent set of matches. During the same time frame, they have been responsible for a total of 6 goals that have been scored against them.

Prior to this match, Tottenham Hotspur had not prevailed against Arsenal when playing the Gunners away from their own stadium in any of the previous 11 matches played in the league. A very awful streak of luck.

Injured and suspended

Arsenal: clean bill of health and no suspension concerns.

Tottenham Hotspur: (Lucas Moura).

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur Predicted XI

Arsenal Predicted XI: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted XI: Forster, Sánchez, Dier, Lenglet, Emerson, Højbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon, Kulusevski, Richarlison, Kane.

 

Prediction

Against this Arsenal squad, we get the impression that Tottenham Hotspur should have a sufficient number of opportunities to hit the back of the net. The two teams are giving away goals and entertainment, respectively, with the third and second attacks of the tournament. Our prediction is that the game will end in a 1-1 tie.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea | Premier League (01.10.2022, 14:00)

Crystal Palace started the season very discreetly and occupies a modest sixteenth place with just 6 points added, being just 2 above the waterline and in a somewhat uncomfortable position. Interestingly, Chelsea has yet to demonstrate its true worth, despite the fact that they were European champions just a year and four months ago! The Blues are seventh in the league table with 10 points, already eight points behind leaders Arsenal, despite having played one fewer game.   

Form Guide

Crystal Palace DWWLDD

After their match against Newcastle United in the Premier League ended in a scoreless draw, Crystal Palace will participate in this game.

During that game, Crystal Palace held a 48% possession advantage and had 19 shots on goal, with 9 of them landing in the target area. On the other hand, Newcastle United had 23 shots on goal, with only six of them actually hitting the target.

In their past six matches, the Crystal Palace team coached by Patrick Vieira has found the back of the net an aggregate of nine times. Seven goals have been scored against them in that span of time, according to the scoreboard. 

Chelsea LWLWLD

In their most recent match, which was for the Champions League, Chelsea and Red Bull Salzburg played to a 1-1 draw.

During that match, Chelsea held 72% of the possession and had 17 shots on goal, with only 4 of those shots hitting the target. Raheem Sterling was the lone player on the Chelsea team to score (in the 48th minute). Red Bull Salzburg had a total of four shots on goal, three of which were on target.

The statistics tell the tale, and they show that Chelsea’s opponents have scored goals against them in 6 of their previous 6 matches, for a total of 9 goals scored against them. When it comes to defense, Chelsea has been everything but flawless.    

Injured and suspended

Crystal Palace: (Jack Butland, Nathan Ferguson)

Chelsea: clean bill of health and no suspension concerns.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Predicted XI

Crystal Palace Predicted XI: Mitchell, Guehi, Andersen, Ward, Schlupp, Eze, Doucoure, Zaha, Olise, Mateta.

Chelsea Predicted XI: Mendy; Silva, Koulibaly, Fofana; Cucurella, Reece James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Sterling, Mount, Aubameyang

Prediction

We get the impression that Crystal Palace will have a difficult time putting one past this Chelsea team, who we anticipate will come out on top. They may very well have a task on their hands.

Taking all of this into account, we think it will be a very close match, with Chelsea coming out on top with a score of 0-1 at the end. 

Liverpool vs Brighton| Premier League (01.10.2022, 14:00)

Both teams’ contests from the previous round had to be postponed, and Liverpool is serving as the host for this one. Both Brighton and Liverpool have gotten off to strong starts to the new season; Brighton is now in fourth position with 13 points, and Liverpool is in eighth place with nine points. This is not Liverpool’s year to shine; they have the worst defense in the top 10 and, with the exception of their massive victory against Bournemouth, they haven’t really done much in attack either.

On the other side, Brighton is flourishing, and the city is optimistic about how it might begin the post-Graham Potter period on a positive note. The Italian Roberto de Zerbi has taken over as the team’s manager, and he will be trying to carry on the positive job that Potter began. The squad has won four of their previous five matches, and in three of those five matches, they have scored two or more goals.

Form Guide

Liverpool LWWDLW

Following their most recent victory, a 2-1 victory against Ajax in the Champions League, Liverpool is looking to add another victory to their resume.

During that match, Liverpool held control of the ball for 57% of the time and had 23 shots on goal, with 9 of them landing in the target area. Not a single one of Ajax’s three attempts on goal was really on target.

In recent times, matches involving Liverpool have been characterized by their high level of excitement, with high scores being the norm rather than the exception. There have been a grand total of 23 goals scored by both teams combined during the course of their most recent half dozen games (which works out to an average of 3.83 goals per game), with 15 of these goals coming from Liverpool. 

Brighton DWWWLW

In their most recent play, Brighton defeated Leicester City by a score of 5-2 to earn a win in the Premier League.

During that match, Brighton & Hove Albion had 54% of the control of the ball and 23 shots on goal, with 11 of those shots finding the target. There were a total of six shots on goal taken by Leicester City, of which four were on target.

The defensive unit for Brighton & Hove Albion has put together a string of extremely good performances, which has resulted in the number of goals they’ve allowed to drop to just four over the course of their most recent six matches combined. During the same time period, they have scored a total of 12 goals for themselves. 

Injured and suspended

Liverpool: (Fábio Carvalho, Naby Keïta, Curtis Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain).

Brighton: (Adam Lallana, Jakub Moder).

Liverpool vs Brighton Predicted XI

Liverpool Predicted XI: Alisson; Tsimikas, Van Dijk, Konate, Alexander-Arnold; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Diaz, Jota, Salah.

Brighton Predicted XI: Sanchez; Webster, Dunk, Veltman; Trossard, Caicedo, Mac Allister, March; Lallana, Grob; Welbeck.

Prediction

We tend to believe that Liverpool is capable of producing a respectable amount of scoring opportunities and shots on goal, as they should be able to do so.

On the other hand, Brighton will have a difficult time scoring a goal of their own in this match.

We think that after 90 minutes, Liverpool will have won easily by a score of 2-0.  

Inter Milan vs Roma | Serie A (01.10.2022, 16:00)

Inter and Roma will compete for a higher ranking in a match at Milan’s Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. The eighth day of Serie A comes after the break and a few days before the European matches, respectively in the Champions League and the Europa League. Inter, and especially their coach Simone Inzaghi, remain under observation in light of the 3-1 loss collected at Udinese in the last round when the Nerazzurri were unable to defend the initial advantage signed by Nicolò Barella.

The last match for José Mourinho’s Roma also ended in defeat, 0-1, at home against league leaders Atalanta.  

Form Guide

Inter Milan WLLWWL

Inter Milan will want to do better than their last game, which was a 3-1 loss to Udinese in Serie A.

During that match, Inter Milan had 56% control of the ball and 14 shots on goal, with just three of those shots finding the back of the net. Udinese had a total of 20 shots on goal, with just 6 of them being on target.

Inter Milan, led by Simone Inzaghi, have found the back of the net a combined nine times in their most recent six matches. At the opposite end of the field, they have been penalized nine times for giving up goals over that time period.  

Roma WLLWWL

Following Roma’s loss in their previous Serie A match against Atalanta, the home team will be hoping for a different outcome in this contest.

During that match, Roma held 56% of the possession and had 21 shots on goal, with 5 of them finding the back of the net. On the other hand, Atalanta had four shots on goal, just one of which was successful in hitting the target.

There have been at least three goals scored in each of Roma’s previous six matches. During that time, the average number of goals scored per game was 2.83, while Roma scored an average of 1.5 goals per game.

Ahead of this match, Roma haven’t beaten Inter Milan away from home in any of the previous five league matches they’ve played against them in the league. They had not been traveling very well at all in recent times.

Injured and suspended

Inter Milan: (Alex Cordaz, Marcelo Brozovic, Hakan Calhanoglu, Romelu Lukaku).

Roma: (Lorenzo Pellegrini, Georginio Wijnaldum, Rick Karsdorp).

Inter Milan vs Roma Predicted XI

Inter Milan Predicted XI: Handanavić; de Vrij, Bastoni, Škriniar; Dimarco, Gagliardini, Mkhitaryan, Barella, Dumfries; Džeko; Martinez.

Roma Predicted XI: Patricio; Smalling, Ibañez, Mancini; Spinazzola, Cristante, Matić, Çelik; Dybala, Zaniolo; Abraham.

Prediction

In our opinion, it would be beneficial for Roma to score a goal against this Inter Milan club, as it is possible that Inter Milan will be able to score and take the lead.

We anticipate a very close match, with Inter emerging victorious by a score of 3-1 once it is all said and done.

Sevilla vs Atlético Madrid | La Liga (01.10.2022, 16:30)

Lopetegui’s position at the helm of Sevilla continues to generate debate. The Andalusian team earned a point in their previous match against Villarreal, an a priori positive point against a strong opponent, but Sevilla’s poor start is very concerning. Sevilla are only one point above relegation, and to top it all off, they play Atlético de Madrid on Saturday. The Colchoneros occupy seventh place with ten points. On the last day, they lost 1-2 at home in the Great Derby of the Capital against Real Madrid.

Form Guide

Sevilla LLLWDD

In the last round of La Liga, Sevilla played Villarreal to a 1-1 tie, so they will be playing in this match.

During that game, Sevilla held 54% of the possession and had 12 shots on goal, with just one of them being on target. Villarreal, the team they were playing against, had 17 shots on goal, seven of which were on target.

Sevilla has struggled to keep a clean sheet in recent matches far too frequently. The fact that Sevilla have failed to keep their opponents from scoring in 5 of their last 6 matches, allowing a total of 12 goals to be scored against them as a result, will be a cause for concern for them.   

Atlético Madrid WDWWLL

Atlético Madrid will be looking to make a comeback after suffering a loss to Real Madrid in their most recent La Liga tournament match, and they will be aiming to do so here.

During that game, Atlético Madrid had 53% control of the ball and 12 shots on goal, with 5 of those shots hitting the target. Real Madrid had a total of six shots on goal, three of which were successful. 

Atletico Madrid have allowed opponents to score in 5 of their previous 6 matches, for a total of 7 goals scored against them in those contests. At the back, it appears like Atlético Madrid have a bit of a weak spot in their defense. 

Injured and suspended

Sevilla: (Tecatito).

Atlético Madrid: clean bill of health and no suspension concerns.

Sevilla vs Atlético Madrid Predicted XI

Sevilla Predicted XI: Bounou, Carmona, Gudelj, Salas, Acuña, Jordán, Fernando, Lamela, Isco, Gomez, En-Nesyri.

Atlético Madrid Predicted XI: Oblak, Llorente, Savic, Witsel, Mandava, Carrasco, De Paul, Koke, Kondogbia, Morata, Félix.

Prediction

Taking into consideration these two teams, we believe that Atlético Madrid will undoubtedly be able to break down this Sevilla side.

We anticipate a close contest that will end with Atlético Madrid emerging victorious by a score of 0-2 at the conclusion of the game.

Mallorca vs Barcelona | La Liga (01.10.2022, 19:00)

Barcelona visit Mallorca to continue the run-up to Real Madrid. The Blaugrana are undefeated in the league and are returning from five straight La Liga victories against Elche, Cadiz, Sevilla, Valladolid, and Real Sociedad. With Lewandowski in great form, the Catalans are therefore only two points behind Ancelotti’s merengue.

Mallorca will face Xavi’s perfect team after beating Almeria 1-0 and losing to Real 4-1. The Mallorys are tenth in the standings with 8 points and obviously start as underdogs for the victory of the challenge despite playing at home.

Form Guide

Mallorca DLWDLW

After winning their previous match in La Liga by a score of 1-0 against UD Almera, Mallorca will be looking for a similar outcome this time around.

During that match, Mallorca held 45% of the possession and had 5 shots on goal, with 2 of them finding the target. Almera had nine shots on goal, but only three were on target.

The team coached by Javier Aguirre, Mallorca, has found the back of the net six times over the course of their most recent six matches, which works out to an average of one goal scored per game.  

Barcelona WWWWLW

Barcelona will be coming into this encounter on the heels of a victory in their most recent La Liga match, in which they defeated Elche CF by a score of 3-0.

During that encounter, Barcelona had 77% control of the ball and 25 shots on goal, with 9 of them finding the back of the net. On the other hand, Elche had one shot on goal, and it was successful with one of those attempts.

The Barcelona defense unit has put together a string of strong performances, as a result of which they have only given up three goals over the course of their most recent six matches combined. During that period, their own forwards have scored 19 goals for them.

Injured and suspended

Mallorca: (Amath Ndiaye)

Barcelona: (Frenkie de Jong, Memphis Depay, Héctor Bellerín, Jules Koundé, Ronald Araújo.

Mallorca vs Barcelona Predicted XI

Mallorca Predicted XI: Rajković, Maffeo, Valjent, Raíllo, Nastasic, Costa, Kang-in Lee, Battaglia, Ruiz, Sánchez, Muriqi.

Barcelona Predicted XI: ter Stegen, Roberto, Christensen, García, Balde, Gavi, Busquets, Pedri, Dembélé, Lewandowski, Raphinha.

Prediction

We get the impression that Mallorca is capable of scoring a goal when they go up against this Barcelona team; nevertheless, we also believe that a single goal may not be as many as the goals that Barcelona may allow.

Our prediction is that Barcelona will emerge victorious in the game by a score of 1-3 at the match’s conclusion.

Manchester City vs Manchester United | Premier League (02.10.2022, 13:00)

The most anticipated match of the European weekend is this: the two halves of Manchester face off at the Etihad. The City approaches the match, as it often happens, as a great favorite by virtue of the values on the pitch, the performances of this start of the season, and the self-esteem given by the results obtained and the technical continuity. In fact, despite some normal hesitation, the team won 17 points in 7 matches, but the remarkable figure is the goal difference: even 17, a multiplier of almost 2.5 per match.

Manchester United are finding the right way after the disappointments of the beginning of the season. The four victories in the Premier League testify to a path far from being at its peak, even if many obstacles will still be overcome. Ten Hag has a more and more tested eleven in its new version, but will have to deal with opponents who play by heart. Even if the Derby is history in itself, Manchester City have shown that they can handle the pressure very well.  

Form Guide

Manchester City WWDWWW

Following a 0-3 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League, Manchester City will be looking for more of the same after their most recent performance, which has given them confidence.

During that match, Manchester City held 59% of the possession and had 16 shots on goal, with 7 of them finding the target. On the opposite end of the field, Wolverhampton Wanderers had six shots on goal, with only one of them being successful. Manchester City has not had any trouble scoring in their last six games, as they have been able to put the ball in the back of the net in every single one.

During that span of time, they have scored a total of 20 goals while allowing only four to be scored against them. To this point, Manchester City have not suffered a defeat at the hands of Manchester United in any of their previous two matches played in the Premier League. 

Manchester United WWWWLW

Manchester United enters this match on the heels of a victory in the Europa League against Sheriff Tiraspol by a score of 0-2; the victory put them in first place.

During that game, Manchester United held possession for 68% of the time and had 8 shots on goal, with 4 of those shots finding the target. Sheriff Tiraspol had 11 shots on goal, but only two of them were successful in hitting the target.

Manchester United’s defense has put together a string of excellent performances, resulting in the number of goals conceded dropping to three over the course of their last six games. During the same period, their forwards have accounted for 9 goals.

Injured and suspended

Manchester City: (Aymeric Laporte).

Manchester United: (Anthony Martial).

Manchester City vs Manchester United Predicted XI

Manchester City Predicted XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Akanji, Dias, Walker, De Bruyne, Rodri, Grealish, Silva, Haaland, Foden.

Manchester United Predicted XI: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martínez, Malacia, McTominay, Eriksen, Matheus dos, Fernandes, Sancho, Ronaldo.

Prediction

Taking into consideration these two squads, we believe that Manchester United have the ability to score against this Manchester City side.

We expect a close game with a score of 2-2 at the end of the contest as our prediction.
