Daily Football Predictions-08-04-2022

It was an interesting week of Champions League and Europa League fixtures and there is a lot to look forward to ahead of the return leg.

On the domestic scene, a lot of drama remains on the cards and we bring you the likely betting tips and predictions to go with from all of the day’s action.

Straight Wins

Defeat in midweek to Burnley has left Everton at their very lowest point in the Premier League this season and now they face a tough home game against Manchester United. The visitors arrive knowing they need all three points as they continue to battle for the final Champions League spot and with the Toffees looking limp, the Red Devils can smell blood in the water. United have not lost against Everton since 2019 and we’re backing the visitors to secure all three points on Saturday. United have also won their last two trips to Goodison Park but don’t head into this game in the best of form. However, Everton have lost five of their last six matches in all competitions and defensively the hosts look the worst they ever have done in the Premier League era. Bet9ja have 1.79 odds, Paripesa have 1.84 odds and 1xBet have 1.84 odds.

While Atletico Madrid are on a six-game winning streak in La Liga at the moment, Mallorca lost seven games in a row and they are facing relegation at the moment. The home team desperately need a win and they’ve beaten Atletico this season already in their first meeting. However, the defending champions are in great form and we don’t see how Mallorca can stop them at this moment. Bet9ja have 1.93 odds, Paripesa have 1.98 odds and 1xBet have 1.98 odds.

Tottenham occupy the final Champions League spot heading into this weekend’s latest round of fixtures in the Premier League but up next is a tricky trip to Villa Park. Aston Villa has lost their last three matches and narrowly lost when they took on Tottenham last October. We’re predicting a victory for Spurs this weekend as they have won six of their last seven games against Aston Villa. Steven Gerrard’s men are going through a poor run of form right now having lost their last three league games against West Ham, Arsenal, and Wolves, while Tottenham have won four of their last five league games, hammering Newcastle 5-1 last time out. Bet9ja have 2.20 odds, Paripesa have 2.30 odds and 1xBet have 2.30 odds.

Juventus’s good run of form came to an end at home to Inter Milan last time out but they remain the favorites to claim the final Champions League place in Serie A this season. Cagliari are fighting for their Serie A lives this season. Juventus have won six of their last seven head-to-heads against Cagliari so it is no surprise to see that the Serie A icons are the bookmaker’s favorites to win this weekend. The hosts have lost each of their last four league games, going down 5-1 at Udinese last time out, while Juventus have won four of their last six matches in all competitions. Bet9ja have 1.65 odds, Paripesa have 1.65 odds and 1xBet have 1.65 odds.

Arsenal’s challenge for the final Champions League spot took a hit last time out when they lost heavily at Crystal Palace. This weekend, Brighton provides the opposition in the Premier League for the Gunners as Arteta’s men look to get back on track in their own backyard. Arsenal are unbeaten in their last three games against Brighton, picking up two wins and a draw. The Gunners head into Saturday’s clash on the back of four wins and two defeats from their last six matches. Brighton arrive in London in poor form having lost five of their last six league games and has also failed to score in five of those fixtures. Bet9ja have 1.60 odds, Paripesa have 1.68 odds and 1xBet have 1.68 odds.

Over 2.5 Goals

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Southampton but a midweek defeat in the Champions League could leave Tuchel’s men open to attack at St Mary’s. Southampton shouldn’t be worried about relegation from the Premier League this season as they are just 1pt off 9th-placed Crystal Palace. This game has the potential to produce goals as three of the last five league meetings between the pair have witnessed at least 4-goals scored. Five of Southampton’s last six matches in all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals while four of Chelsea’s last six outings in the league and cup have also witnessed at least three goals scored. Bet9ja have 1.95 odds, Paripesa have 2.00 odds and 1xBet have 2.00 odds.

Clermont Foot host Ligue 1 giants PSG this weekend in a duel that could see the Parisians edge closer to the title.  Clermont’s struggling defense is their biggest headache in this second duel against PSG. The hosts were thrashed 4-0 in the reverse game and after posting some bad results recently, things could get worse for the hosts. We see PSG finding the back of the net here on numerous occasions making this trip worth it. In the first leg, two goals were scored in the first half. Moreover, Clermont has leaked at least two goals in each of their last four games. With all available strikers for PSG back it’s a no-brainer here. Bet9ja have 1.49 odds, Paripesa have 1.47 odds and 1xBet have 1.47 odds.

Atletico are still in the selection as they have been impressive in the LaLiga these past few months. Despite their lack of attacking quality in their midweek UCL clash, we have included them here to produce a high-scoring affair. Two of the previous three head-to-head duels between Mallorca and Atletico Madrid have gone over 2.5 total goals and we can see that happening again in their next duel. In addition to this, Mallorca averaged 2.53 goals per game in the league this season, while Atletico Madrid averaged 3.13 goals per game in La Liga until now, which is the highest average in the league. Bet9ja have 1.93 odds, Paripesa have 1.98 odds and 1xBet have 1.98 odds.

A win for Watford in the Premier League this weekend could do wonders for their survival chances whilst dragging Leeds right back into the thick of the relegation battle. Jesse Marsch has started life at Leeds very well and will be confident that his side can go to Vicarage Road this weekend and claim a priceless victory. At least three goals have been scored in five of the last six league meetings between these two clubs and we’re expecting more of the same on Saturday. Watford have witnessed over 2.5 goals in four of their last six league games, while at least three goals have been scored in four of Leeds’ last six matches. Bet9ja have 1.74 odds, Paripesa have 1.83 odds and 1xBet have 1.83 odds.

There is a great chance that we will be treated to plenty of goalmouth action on Saturday as four of the last five Premier League meetings between these two clubs have produced over 2.5 goals. Four of Aston Villa’s and four of Tottenham’s last five outings in the Premier League have witnessed at least three goals scored, adding further weight to our prediction for Saturday’s clash. Bet9ja have 1.82 odds, Paripesa have 1.90 odds and 1xBet have 1.90 odds.

Anytime Goalscorers

Mbappe

The Frenchman cannot be excluded here after his stellar performance against Lorient last weekend. Kylian Mbappé was involved in all five of PSG’s goals against Lorient last weekend (G2, A3). This is incredible for the youngster as he seeks to beat his goal-scoring record from last season. Bet9ja have 1.85 odds while Paripesa have 1.67 odds.                                                                                                                                  

Kane

He has found form away from home as Harry Kane’s last seven PL goalscoring appearances have been on the road after he doubled Tottenham’s lead in their previous away trip. He is traveling to Aston Villa where he seems to have a little bit of luck against them. He can surely find the back of the net today and put his side within touching distance of qualifying for the Champions League next season. Bet9ja have 2.20 odds while Paripesa have 1.83 odds.

Suarez

Luis Suárez will be pushing to complete three straight goalscoring appearances for club or country after sitting out the midweek UCL encounter. He is likely to get back into the squad after being rested for the weekend fixtures. He came off the bench last time out and scored a brace showing everyone he still has it in him to compete at the top level. His services would be required if Atletico still wants to challenge for second place in the League. Bet9ja have 3.00 odds while Paripesa have 3.45 odds.

Lewandoski

Three goals in three games for the Polish striker and he doesn’t seem to be stopping. He would be gutted to not score for his side as they lost narrowly to Villareal in the First leg of their UCL quarterfinal clash. He has only missed scoring consecutively twice this season which shows how well he is in front of goal. He was on the scoresheet in the reverse fixture which is why we have included him here. Bet9ja have 1.30 odds while Paripesa have 1.20 odds.

Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has four goal contributions (G3, A1) across his last two PL away games against Everton. The Toffees have set up poorly defensively a lot of times this season, making this another point to include him here amongst the goals. Bet9ja have 2.50 odds while Paripesa have 2.80 odds.
