Neither the hosts nor the visitors will give up an inch in this match; tackles, fouls, arguments—all of this will lead to aggression and yellow cards, so I hope they get about 3 in the first half, and it will be even more heated in the second.
Both Slavia Prague and AS Roma are rather rough teams. This match is for first place in the group, and the Czechs are also playing at home, so they will not want to give way. If someone takes the lead, they will waste time and simulate at the end of the match, and that is when the yellow cards will ... Show more
I’ll take Total Over on yellow cards; the game will be intense. I think there will be quite a few fouls and cards. The hosts have absolutely nothing to lose, and the visitors need a win too, so I think it will be an intense game. In other words, it’s a 6-point game.
After changing the coach, Ajax won 2 out of 2 matches in the league, playing not bad football. In the Europa League, they have nowhere else to retreat, so one could risk taking the outright win, but let’s take a +1 handicap instead.
I think the Gunners will comfortably beat the Spaniards at home; they have been good at home this season. There is no need to even talk about motivation in the Champions League, so in my view Arsenal will score 2–3 goals, and I think Sevilla will have few dangerous chances.
I’ll take a risk and bet on corners in this match. The Danes certainly won’t sit back at home and will play from a position of strength. But even though Manchester Utd have been poor this season, they are slightly superior in class and won’t sit back in defense either.
PSV have been playing almost perfectly this season. The results speak for themselves; I think that in the home match, with the support of their home fans, they will earn 3 points and deservedly win. I would also take PSV over 1.5, but we’ll settle for a simple win.
I think we will see attacking play. In the first match, in my opinion, the teams did not score enough goals, and they will make up for it in this match. 4th round, I think there will be open football. Benfica are having a terrible run in the group; they have nothing to lose and need only a win.
I think Madrid will score at least 2 goals at home and there will at least be a refund, but of course I hope they score more; after all, they play good football at home. There seem to be no squad problems. So they should go all out for this match.
I’ll take the Total on yellow cards in this match. AS Roma are always rough and argue aggressively with the referee, while Lecce also earn 2–3 cards per match, and they are close neighbors in the league table. I think an interesting and evenly matched battle awaits, in which neither side will want t... Show more
Stuttgart score quite a lot this season, but the hosts of this match also often hit the Total. They may score 2 goals first and then concede 3 in a row, so I think Total Over should land easily in this game.
In this match, I’ll take Liverpool with a handicap -1.5. I think Klopp’s lads will score around 3-4 goals, while Luton will score a maximum of 1 goal, if they score at all, so I think -1.5 has more than a 90% chance of winning. Let’s hope there are no surprises, as always.
I won’t overthink it, I’ll take Milan over 1.5. At home, they will give it everything. A missed win in the last match: they were leading 2:0 and it ended 2:2. I think they will analyze it. Ambitious Leão and Giroud, who is in good form, will definitely want to show what they can do at home.
City against a dead Bournemouth, I think Pep's boys will score at least 3 goals at home and outperform Bournemouth in every aspect. Maybe a bit bold, but I think it will be an easy stroll, especially at home. Come on, City
I’ll take the risk and bet on Brighton over 1.5 in this match.
The lads look good this season, especially in attack. I haven’t checked the statistics, but purely based on my impressions, I think they will score 2 goals in this match, even though they are playing away.
A classic derby, I think it will be a real battle. Bayern Munich have been knocked out of the cup, so they will play with extra motivation. Dortmund will not simply give it away at home either; they will fight for every ball, on every inch of the pitch.
I’ll risk taking Total Over 3.5 in this match. Hoffenheim are playing at home. In their previous cup match, they had chances but did not score. I think they won’t go 2 matches in a row without scoring, especially now that they are at home.
Bayer are playing simply breathtaking football this season.
In this match, I’ll take Total Under 2.5.
Bologna scores few goals and concedes few; Lazio’s attack this season is, to put it mildly, average. The team barely creates chances and argues with the referees more, so I think TU will come through.
I’ll try taking Paris SG with a handicap -1.5 in this match; I think that at home, no matter what anyone says, they should score 2-3 goals and try to keep a clean sheet, so we’ll wait for it to come through.
In this match, I’ll take Total Over on yellow cards. Porto, even at home and even against an underdog, somehow manages to collect yellow cards. As for the visitors, the underdogs, they will fight until the very end; I’m hoping for an easy win.
Both teams have a large difference between goals scored and conceded. I think neither side will sit back; a draw will not help either team much, and both teams will play for the win, so I expect an action-packed game.
In this derby, I’ll risk taking Manchester City Team Total Over 1.5.
The derby could end any way, but this season Manchester Utd almost always concedes and plays poorly, while Manchester City scores quite a lot, so I’ll take exactly this outcome.
Italian Serie A, referee Fabio Maresca shows an average of 5 yellow cards, the game will be emotional, both teams like to argue with the referee, so I’ll take Total Over 4.5 yellow cards, hoping for an easy win
Bayer Leverkusen traditionally scores a lot this season. Xabi Alonso has instilled good combination-based attacking football in the team, so I expect Leverkusen to score at least 2 goals at home, but I hope they score more.
I think it will be an open, exciting game; both teams will play attacking football. AC Milan have failed to score in 2 consecutive games and I think they will push forward, but the home side clearly will not sit back either, with an attack like theirs.
Even against weak opponents, Barcelona manages to receive 2-3 cards at home. In El Clásico, this is inevitable, as both Real and Barça have young hotheads; passion, emotions, and simulations—all of this, I think, will lead to 6 or more yellow cards.
The 2nd Bundesliga traditionally produces many goals; Hamburger SV always creates enough chances near the opponent's goal, and the home team clearly will not sit back in defense. I am hoping for an entertaining game and plenty of goals.
Zenit need to earn points, especially at home they will push forward. Akhmat Grozny looked, to put it mildly, not very good in their last match in Rostov. I think at least Zenit with a handicap -1 will be a push, but I think Saint Petersburg will win 2:0.
I think Stuttgart will score at least 2 goals; this season, the dinosaurs have been good in attack, Hoffenheim rarely leave the pitch without conceding, and I think they themselves will manage at least 1 goal up front. So I’m hoping for an easy Total Over 2.5.
I’ll take a -2 handicap; the Gunners are good this season, Sheffield conceded 2 even against the terrible Man Utd this season. I think Arsenal will score 2-3 goals without any problems and keep a clean sheet. At home, the Emirates will drive the favorites forward.
Referee Davide Massa, I expect a classic Italian clash, with simulation and arguing with the referee. I think it will be open football, hence the counterattacks and their disruption. Take the heated finale into account, and TO 4.5 yellow cards is guaranteed.
Fortuna failed to score in the last away match; I think a team of this level cannot afford such an impermissible luxury twice in a row. Braunschweig, to put it mildly, has not impressed this season. So I won't overcomplicate things and will simply take W2.
I will not make anything up in this match: Nice are at the top of the table, Clermont are at the bottom. Clermont won against Lyon and did not lose to PSG in their recent matches, but I think Nice have analyzed these matches and will overcome the hosts.
In this match, I’ll take TO 8.5 corners. Both teams are attacking; Girona, at home and full of confidence, will go all out with the support of their fans. Celta Vigo have nothing to lose and need to improve their league position. So I’ll take TO 8.5 corners.
A game between outsiders in the league table; I expect a fierce battle, so I’ll take Total Over 4 yellow cards. Referee Patrick Ittrich has averaged 4.23 yellow cards over his last 100 matches; in his last 3 games, he showed fewer than 4 yellow cards, so today I expect him to show more than 4 yellow...
