Daily Football Predictions-18-02-23

The weekend goes underway with the conclusion of some of the games across Europe.

The rest of Europe’s elite resume their league fixtures as the teams who played midweek have some fixtures today. We have games from Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands to choose from here today.

We have carefully curated the best options from the fixtures this weekend and we are certain of a near hit after today’s predictions

Straight Wins.

The reigning champions of Spain and Europe, and recently, the world, are not in a great spot in La Liga right now. After all, Barcelona is sitting eight points ahead of them, so Real Madrid needs to keep winning and hopes that Barcelona will drop points along the way or they won’t be defending their title. The defending champions of Spain have fallen behind Barcelona in the title race, so they basically can’t afford any more slips this season. Meanwhile, Osasuna is doing well and sitting in the top half of the standings at the moment. So, this won’t be an easy game for Real Madrid, but they recently became world champions and they are high on confidence. With that in mind, our first Osasuna vs Real Madrid prediction is for the guests to win the game. Bet9ja have 1.84 odds, Paripesa have 1.86 odds and 1xBet have 1.86 odds.

Wolfsburg has gone four games without a win as they prepare to host a strong RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Saturday. RB Leipzig was beaten 2-1 at home by Union Berlin last weekend in a somewhat surprising result. Die Roten Bullen had gone 12 games unbeaten in the Bundesliga before that under Marco Rose, so expect their downturn to be short-lived. On Saturday they take on a Wolfsburg side that has been toppled in three of its last four assignments and Die Wolfe was held to a disappointing 0-0 by bottom club Schalke last time out. Leipzig should have too much firepower for their hosts and our first Wolfsburg vs RB Leipzig prediction tips the away side to gather maximum points. Bet9ja have 2.18 odds, Paripesa have 2.20 odds and 1xBet have 2.20 odds.

Inter look ready to make home advantage count when they host Le Zebrette this weekend. Inter Milan is among the favorites to finish as the best of the rest behind champions-elect Napoli in Serie A this term and they can strengthen their bid to finish as runners-up with a win at home to Udinese on Saturday. The visitors have won only once in seven attempts in the top tier since Christmas and they should struggle to match the quality that Inter wields. With that in mind, our first Inter Milan vs Udinese prediction recommends siding with the hosts in the match result market. Bet9ja have 1.54 odds, Paripesa have 1.54 odds and 1xBet have 1.54 odds.

Wolves will be looking to put even more distance between themselves and the relegation places with victory over struggling Bournemouth this weekend. The Cherries sit in the relegation zone as things stand but a win could take them out of the bottom three and into safety. For our first Wolves vs Bournemouth prediction we’re backing a home win for Wolves this weekend as the hosts are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Bournemouth, picking up three wins and two draws. Wolves won 1-0 at home to Bournemouth last season and head into this weekend’s clash on the back of three wins from their last five matches in all competitions, while Bournemouth has lost four of their last six fixtures. Bet9ja have 1.68 odds, Paripesa have 1.75 odds and 1xBet have 1.75 odds.

Only four positions are separating these two clubs, but Brentford has a substantial 9-point advantage over the Eagles. The Bees have never been defeated by Crystal Palace, and Brentford’s lone victory in this matchup came in a preseason friendly. We are picking the home team to win this weekend’s Brentford vs. Crystal Palace matchup. In their previous six games in all competitions, Brentford has won three times, and each of those triumphs came at home. You can understand why we are favoring Brentford this weekend given that Crystal Palace has lost three of their past six league and cup games while drawing the other three. Bet9ja have 1.88 odds, Paripesa have 1.90 odds and 1xBet have 1.90 odds.

Over 2.5

The key to my Nice vs. Reims forecast is goals. The team has changed since Lucien Favre was dismissed by the club and Didier Digard was appointed as interim coach. from a team that scores few goals to one that competes hard every game. They have scored a total of six goals in only their previous two games, and because they are now on a four-game winning run, their goal differential during that period is 8-1. Reims is putting in the effort, as seen by their four goals in two of their previous three league games. When it comes to games with more than 2.5 goals, Nice is still at the bottom of the league for the season, but their form is improving. Bet9ja have 2.07 odds, Paripesa have 2.17 odds and 1xBet have 2.17 odds.

After their win over Arsenal in the middle of the week, Man City climbed to the top of the Premier League, but the Gunners still have a match left to play. When the Citizens travel to Nottingham Forest this weekend, a team that is still in the relegation fight, they can’t afford to lose any points. Instead of placing a basic wager on Man City to win, I decided to wager on over 2.5 goals being scored. Manchester City has defeated Nottingham Forest in four of their previous six meetings, and in four of those games, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Man City has won five of their previous six games, and in four of those contests, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Bet9ja have 1.64 odds, Paripesa have 1.69 odds and 1xBet have 1.69 odds.

As Mikel Arteta’s team travels to Villa Park this weekend, they are hoping to snap their four-game losing streak across all competitions. A win over the Gunners would allow Aston Villa, who have dropped their past two league contests, to pass Chelsea and into the top half of the standings. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of the past seven league games between Aston Villa and Arsenal. In four of Aston Villa’s previous five games, at least three goals have been scored, and in two of Arsenal’s last four league games, over 2.5 goals have been scored. Bet9ja have 1.92 odds, Paripesa have 2.01 odds and 1xBet have 2.01 odds.

In their past three home games before their matchup with Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Saturday, Eintracht Frankfurt has won all three. Seven goals were scored in the pulsating 4-3 victory for Eintracht when Frankfurt and Werder Bremen last faced off at the Wohninvest WESERSTADION back in August, and more excitement may be in store when the teams square off on Saturday. Over 2.5 goals have shown in each of Die Adler’s past five home matches in the German top division, and a wager in the same direction is suggested here for what could be an exciting matchup. Bet9ja have 1.56 odds, Paripesa have 1.63 odds and 1xBet have 1.63 odds.

With some tough-minded efforts, Vitesse is attempting to end its season, and they are succeeding admirably. Vitesse’s improved performance allowed them to leave the danger zone and enter the safe harbor for the time being. The league’s poorest defense, Volendam, has given up 49 goals and is allowing 2.3 goals per game this year. With 13 games exceeding the threshold, they are the fourth-best club in the league when it comes to above 2.5 goals. Going for 14 “over” games, Vitesse is even superior in that regard. The head-to-head statistics between Volendam and Vitesse don’t depict the full picture because, aside from the one game they have already played this year, which concluded, in a 1-1 draw. Bet9ja have 1.66 odds, Paripesa have 1.79 odds and 1xBet have 1.79 odds.

Anytime Goal scorers

Benzema

Karim Benzema is having another fantastic season, although he already missed several games through injuries. But when he’s healthy, he is still the same player that won Ballon d’Or last season. After all, Benzema is the team’s top scorer in La Liga with eleven goals, even though he only appeared in thirteen games. So, our second Osasuna vs Real Madrid prediction is for Karim Benzema to score at any time. Bet9ja have 2.30 odds while Paripesa have 2.30 odds.                                                                                                                                  

Erling Haaland

Today we’re backing Haaland to score at least one goal in this game. Haaland is edging closer and closer to the 30-goal mark in his debut Premier League season having netted his 26th of the campaign against Arsenal in midweek. We’re backing Man City’s superstar striker to score a goal in what should be a goals-filled game against Nottingham Forest. Given his performances against teams who have struggled defensively this season, this should be a sure pick. Bet9ja have 1.55 odds while Paripesa have 1.60 odds.

Bukayo Saka

Arsenal’s 21-year-old wideman has been vital in their push for the Premier League title this season and it’s amazing to think how much more he could develop over the next few years. The England international has scored 8-goals in the league alone this season making him the club’s joint-top scorer along with Odegaard. Saka is also Arsenal’s main assist provider having set up 8-goals in the Premier League this season. With all that in mind, you can see why we have picked out Saka as the player to score today. Bet9ja have 3.50 odds while Paripesa have 2.70 odds.

Ivan Toney

Toney is enjoying another fantastic Premier League campaign in front of goal and he is the man that Brentford rely on to get them over the finishing line. The former Newcastle man has scored 14 goals in the league alone, almost three times as many as his nearest teammate Mbeumo who has 5 goals. Toney equalized against Arsenal last time out and we’re backing the Bees’ main man to find the back of the net against the Eagles this weekend. Bet9ja have 2.60 odds while Paripesa have 2.35 odds.
