The weekend games come to an end with lots of action across Europe and lots of things to achieve for various teams here, including today. There are a lot of fixtures to watch out for, and we have selected the best out of them with the optimal predictions for each match.
Straight Wins.
On Sunday, January 15, Rennes will host PSG at Roazhon Park in France’s Ligue 1. This weekend, Rennes will host Paris St. Germain, bringing fourth and first in the French premier division together. The loss of star forward Martin Terrier to a season-ending knee injury and crucial midfielder Benjamin Bourigeaud to suspension following his red card at Clermont in midweek is a major double blow to Rennes’ chances of pulling off an upset on Sunday. However, Rennes has been in excellent form at Roazhon Park this season. This season, PSG has won seven of its nine Ligue 1 away games, and our first prediction is that they will continue to succeed on the road. Bet9ja have 1.56 odds, Paripesa have 1.59 odds and 1xBet have 1.59 odds.
Atletico Madrid’s defeat by Barcelona in the last round was unfortunate, but not entirely unexpected given their season thus far. Their fans can only hope that Simeone can find a way to improve his team’s performance now that they have been ousted from the Champions League. Atletico Madrid is not having a great season, but they are still in fifth place and competing for a Champions League spot, while Almeria is now two points above the relegation zone. Therefore, it is obvious that the visitors are the superior team, and as a result, they are the favorites to win this game, which is the result that we expect from this encounter without a shadow of a doubt. Bet9ja have 1.76 odds, Paripesa have 1.78 odds and 1xBet have 1.78 odds.
On Sunday, third-placed Newcastle will visit newly promoted Fulham, who are currently in sixth place and have been one of the Premier League’s most surprising teams this season. A fun-filled 90 minutes are anticipated between two clubs who enjoy playing aggressive, open football at St. James’ Park. We’re going with a home victory because, despite playing the Londoners on the road in each of their last four league games, Newcastle has won three of those games. The Magpies have won three of their previous six games in all competitions, and it appears as though they may qualify for the Champions League this year. Even though Fulham is in fantastic shape right now, we think their hosts will be too much for them this weekend. Bet9ja have 1.53 odds, Paripesa have 1.55 odds and 1xBet have 1.55 odds.
On January 15th, Roma and Fiorentina square off in the Stadio Olimpico in Italy’s Serie A. This weekend in the Italian capital, two hot teams square off. Following the midseason break, Italian domestic football resumed, and both Roma and Fiorentina have yet to experience defeat. La Viola’s run, however, was aided by a run of three consecutive favorable home matches, and a test in the capital against Jose Mourinho’s team should be more difficult to navigate. Our first prediction backs Roma to make it four straight wins against Fiorentina after they had won each of their last three meetings in the Eternal City. Bet9ja have 2.07 odds, Paripesa have 2.11 odds and 1xBet have 2.11 odds.
Even though they lost two points to Utrecht away from home a week ago, Feyenoord still maintained first place in the Eredivisie. However, they will now be up against Groningen, one of the teams attempting to avoid relegation. The Rotterdam team will enter this contest with the expectation of winning in their minds. Groningen has had a difficult season overall, and with three straight losses on the horizon, they are only slightly above the relegation zone. It’s interesting to note that four of the last five meetings between these teams have resulted in draws, but Feyenoord is the team that has the favorite label on its back this time. Bet9ja have 1.47 odds, Paripesa have 1.46 odds and 1xBet have 1.46 odds.
Over 2.5
Graham Potter has only recently taken the helm at Chelsea, but already the pressure is mounting and the prospect of being fired is looming as his team currently sits in 10th place in the Premier League standings following a midweek loss to Fulham. This weekend’s match at Stamford Bridge will be against Crystal Palace, who haven’t been playing their best recently. This will be welcome news to all Chelsea supporters. Given that neither team has had the finest defensive record in recent weeks, there is a strong probability that we will be treated to a few goals in this match. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of the last seven meetings between these two clubs. While Chelsea’s last two matches and five of Palace’s last six outings have also witnessed at least three goals scored. Bet9ja have 1.98 odds, Paripesa have 2.11 odds and 1xBet have 2.11 odds.
With a victory over Salernitana at home this weekend, Atalanta can make a stronger case for finishing in the top four. Before a challenging test against Atalanta on Sunday, Salernitana has lost points in seven of its eight Serie A away games this season. With the match result markets being underwhelming this weekend, betting on over 2.5 goals when Atalanta hosts Salernitana is recommended at the rates available. Seven of La Dea’s previous nine Serie A games have had more than 2.5 goals, keeping them among the league’s most interesting teams to watch. With an average of 2.0 goals allowed per away game this season, Salernitana may find it difficult to restrain their offensive-minded opponents. As a result, we anticipate more exhilaration in Bergamo on Sunday. Bet9ja have 1.57 odds, Paripesa have 1.64 odds and 1xBet have 1.64 odds.
On Sunday, January 15, Reims and Nice will play a match at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II in France’s Ligue 1. Following a crushing 6-1 victory over Montpellier in midweek, Nice travel to Reims. However, the risk of picking Les Aiglons to defeat a Remis team that hasn’t lost since the break is too great, so our first prediction suggests betting on goals. Five goals were scored when Nice last visited the Stade Auguste-Delaune II at the tail end of last season, and a similar result appears likely this Saturday when two attacking teams square off. Bet9ja have 2.04 odds, Paripesa have 2.14 odds and 1xBet have 2.14 odds.
PSV’s season got off to a rocky start, but it now plans to keep up the pressure on the front-runners in the race for the championship. The Sittard club is currently working hard, while teams like Fortuna look destined to struggle to avoid relegation each season. Unsurprisingly, PSV is one of the tops ‘over’ teams in the league. However, as they get used to playing without their best player Cody Gakpo, who was just traded to Liverpool, their goal-scoring strategy will undoubtedly change. They still possess the offensive ability to score goals, and in their last three head-to-head encounters with Fortuna, the 2.5 goals were agreed upon. Bet9ja have 1.48 odds, Paripesa have 1.49 odds and 1xBet have 1.49 odds.
As the joint-top scorers on home turf, this matchup has the potential to be interesting. PSG is welcomed by Rennes. This season, the hosts have excelled in front of their supporters, winning eight of nine games and scoring at least twice on eight different occasions. They have also only given up seven goals at home, but they haven’t played a team with PSG’s ruthlessness in attack, so they’ll need to be at their best to maintain their stellar home record. There should be goals in this entertaining game, in our opinion. We anticipate a high level of intensity and do not doubt that both teams will score. However, we also anticipate at least three goals. Bet9ja have 1.56 odds, Paripesa have 1.57 odds and 1xBet have 1.57 odds.
Anytime Goal scorers
Alvaro Morata
With six goals in La Liga this season, Alvaro Morata perhaps wasn’t as efficient as we might’ve expected, but he is still one of the top goal-scorers for Atletico Madrid. Given that Joao Felix moved to Chelsea on loan, Morata will probably have to shoulder even more offensive responsibilities and that’s why we can see him scoring against Almeria. Bet9ja have 2.45 odds while Paripesa have 2.20 odds.
Almiron
Almiron has been in inspired form for Newcastle this season and currently top scores for the magpies with 9 Premier League goals. We’re backing the Paraguay international to score again this weekend just as he did twice when Fulham hosted Newcastle earlier in the season. Almiron is due another goal for the Magpies having failed to score in his last four appearances for the club in league and cup. Bet9ja have 3.40 odds while Paripesa have 2.80 odds.
Jonathan David
Canadian hotshot Jonathan David was among the goalscorers when Lille toppled Troyes in the cup last week and the free-scoring 22-year-old could find the net against ESTAC when the teams meet again on Sunday. David is already sitting on an impressive haul of ten goals in Ligue 1 this term and he can strengthen his bid to win this season’s Golden Boot with another strike against Troyes. Bet9ja have 2.10 odds while Paripesa have 2.25 odds.
Kylian Mbappe
The French forward is having yet another stellar season with 13 goals already this season in 16 appearances he has had a good run up until now. He missed the previous game due to Injuries but should be back fit in time for Sunday’s game. We all know how ruthless he can be on the attack and now PSG would have their famous front three available since the restart of league action, we expect a goal or two from him today. Bet9ja have 2.00 odds while Paripesa have 1.92 odds.
Ben Yedder
Monaco star Wissam Ben Yedder is a seasoned goal-scorer and one of the most reliable chance-finishers in Ligue 1 and the 32-year-old notched for the third time in four domestic appearances when he netted at Lorient in midweek. Ben Yedder looks well on course to hit 20 goals for the third campaign in a row for Monaco and he can boost his tally further with another striker on Sunday against Ajaccio. Bet9ja have 2.00 odds while Paripesa have 1.95 odds.
Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
