AC Milan vs Lazio – Preview and betting tips

AC Milan and Lazio Roma will face each other in the Coppa Italia quarter finals phase. The game will take place Tuesday evening from 19:45, UK Time and the odds are very balanced right now, being difficult to say which team has first chance.

AC Milan is a little in pole-position, but their recent form is an unimpressive one, without victory in their last five league games. They won two weeks ago in the last 16 round of Coppa Italia, 2-1 against Sassuolo. That one was the only home win in the last 6 weeks. Bwin offers one of the best odds for Milan’s victory in this match, about 2.50 right now.

Lazio Roma are in a much better form at the moment, proof that they lost only one game of the last ten. The guests defeated AC Milan few days ago in Serie A, 3-1, but that match was in front of their own fans. Lazio have the second chance at bookmaker and one of the best odds is at Bwin as well, 2.90 at the moment. The away side ticked two wins and three draws in the last five trips.

Lazio are without victory against AC Milan on this stadium in the last 11 years. They recorded only five draws and seven others defeats in this time.

Prediction: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.75
We expect a tight game between these two teams. Lazio will not risk very much in our opinion, while Milan is not in the best form. We expect maximum two goals, despite the fact that few days ago we saw four goals between Lazio and Milan.

Getafe vs Celta Vigo – Preview and betting tips

Getafe will host Celta Vigo in the last Primera Division game of the 20th fixture. The game is scheduled this Monday from 19:45, UK Time, and we will probably see a very tight game.

Getafe are coming here after a bad run of games, losing the last three league matches so they are very close of the relegation zone. The home side has 17 points after 19 games. They are on the 16th position, with only one point more than Almeria (18th position). Their goal difference is also an unimpressive one, with only 14 goals scored and 27 conceded.

Celta Vigo are the most out of form right now in Spain, proof that they won only one point in the last five league games. The away side had a good start of the season, but their form decreased after every round. At the moment, Celta Vigo are on the 12th place in La Liga, with 21 points and we can say that they will have some real problems if they will continue this way, being only five points away of the red zone.

Celta Vigo won the first leg against Getafe this campaign, 3-1 in front of their own fans, but Getafe won the last three meetings with Celta on this stadium.

Prediction: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.67
Considering that both teams have big problems when it comes about the attack, we expect an unspectacular match, with maximum two goals between two out of form teams.

AS Roma vs Empoli – Preview and betting tips

AS Roma and Empoli will fight for a place in the Quarter Finals of Coppa Italia. The game will take place today from 20:00, UK Time, and the hosts are in pole-position to win the game, both on the sheet and at bookmakers.

The home side is coming after two dissapointing results, getting only two points in the last two league games so they are five points behind Juventus in Serie A now, being very hard to believe that Roma still has a real chance in the title race. Surprinsigly or not, Totti & co are without victory in the past four home games, their last win at Olimpico being on November 30th, 4-2 against Inter Milano.

Empoli are also coming after a bad run of games, proof that they are without victory in the last six competitive games, ticking five draws and one defeat. Empoli managed to win only one game in their nine away matches this season. There is no doubt about the fact that the guests are outsiders. For example, Bwin offers odds around 7.50 for their victory today.

Prediction: 1 @ 1.44
We chose a simple bet, without risking too much with Assian Handicap. We recommend you to bet on Roma’s victory, the odds offered by Bwin being acceptable right now, 1.44 to be more precise.

Swansea vs Chelsea – Preview and betting tips

Chelsea will travel in Wales to face Swansea City this Saturday from 15:00. The game is part of the 22th round in Premier League and the hosts are the underdogs without any doubt, but they should not be neglected.

Swansea City showed us that they are capable of interesting results against big teams in the last 2-3 seasons. The welsh side is coming after three bad games, winning only two points in the last three fixtures. Dyer and his teammates are on the 9th position, with 30 points and a 26-25 goal difference. Shelvey is still suspended for this game, while Montero is injured. Ki Sung-Yueng is with his national team so Britton will partner Carroll in the centre of the midfield.

The Blues are still leading Premier League after 21 fixtures. They have 49 points in their account and the best goal difference, with 46 goals scored and 19 conceded, having the best attack and the second best defence. Mourinho’s team has two points ahead Manchester City so it will be a very interesting title race. Mourinho will be without Azpilicueta, injured, while Courtois is in doubt, so Petr Cech is expected to start again.

Swansea vs Chelsea probable lineups:
Swansea (4-2-3-1): Fabianski – Richards, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor – Britton, Carroll – Dyer, Sigurdsson, Routledge – Gomis.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Cech – Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Luis – Matic, Fabregas – Willian, Oscar, Hazard – Costa.

Prediction: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.57
Altough we saw four goals per game in the last two meetings here, we expect a tight game now, considering that both teams have good defences and they will probably will not risk very much.

Ajax vs Groningen – Preview and betting tips

The opening game of the 18th round in Eredivisie is scheduled today from 19:00, UK Time and the two protagonists will be Ajax Amsterdam and Groningen. It’s very clear that the hosts start in pole-position.

Ajax Amsterdam are coming after a good run of games, with 13 points won in the last five fixtures. They are still hoping for the title, even if they are four points behind PSV Eindhoven right now. To be more precise, Ajax have 39 points and an impressive goal difference, 43-17, having the second best attack in the league and the third best defence. Veltman is injured and he will not be available.

Groningen are coming after four draws and a victory in the last five league games. The away side is fighting for a play-off position to qualify in Europa League, but their mission will be a very difficult one, considering that they are the outsiders in that race. They are on the 8th place at the moment, with 24 points and a 19-24 goal difference. Groningen managed to win only two away games out of nine.

Ajax vs Groningen probable lineups:
Ajax (4-3-3): Cillessen – Rhijn, Hoorn, Moisander, Riedewald – Klaassen, Serero, Andersen – Kishna, Milik, Schone.
Groningen (4-1-3-2): Padt – Kappelhof, Laan, Botteghin, Nieff – Kieftenbeld – Antonia, Chery, Hiarlej – Hoesen, Leeuw.

Prediction: Ajax -1.0 AH @ 1.40
The odds for this prediction are acceptable at Bwin and we recommend you this bookmaker. Ajax have a much stronger teams, being in a much better form, so we expect them to get three points here without any problems.

Saint Etienne vs PSG – Preview and betting tips

The most exciting game of the Quarter Finals in France Coupe de la Ligue will take place today and will put face to face Saint Etienne and Paris Saint Germain. The first whistle of this game will be heard at 20:00 and it will probably be a very balanced one.

Saint Etienne are coming here after a good run, being unbeaten in the last five games. They lost only one home game this campaign, 0-1 against Toulouse in the beginning of October. If we take a look at the odds, the hosts have the second chance, but it is very hard to believe that PSG will have an easy mission here.

PSG are coming after a surprising defeat in Ligue, losing 2-4 against Bastia, a team that fights to avoid the relegation. The guests are not in their best form these weeks and they lost the contact with first place in Ligue 1, being on the 4th position right now. They lost three games of the last five, when it comes about away matches. We expect them to field the standard eleven, without resting some players.

The last two games between St. Etienne and PSG on this stadium ended with the same result, 2-2. PSG won both games against their opponents in 2014, 2-0 in March and 5-0 in August.

Prediction: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.57
Altough we saw four goals per game in the last two meetings here, we expect a tight game now, considering that both teams have good defences and they will probably will not risk very much.

Swansea vs West Ham – Preview and betting tips

One of the most balanced games of Saturday in Premier League will put face to face Swansea City and West Ham United. The game will start at 15:00, UK Time, and the odds are also very balanced right now.

The welsh side is coming after two bad results in the last two fixtures, winning only one point. Swansea City is still a mid-table team, being on the 9th position, with 29 points in their account and a 25-24 goa difference. The hosts will be without Montero, injured, Shelvey, suspended and Bony with Ki being with their national team.

West Ham United impressed us this season, at least in the first part of it. They are still fighting for an european cup place, but they struggled in the last couple of weeks, winning only one points in the past three fixtures. The londoners are on the 7th position in Premier League, with 32 points and a 31-24 goal difference, only four points behind Top 4. Diafra Sakho is injured, while Kouyate is away with his national team. Carroll is not 100% fit, but he will probably be available today.

Swansea vs West Ham probable lineups:
Swansea (4-2-3-1): Fabianski – Richards, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor – Britton, Carroll – Dyer, Sigurdsson, Routledge – Gomis.
West Ham (4-3-1-2): Adrian – Jenkinson, Collins, Reid, Cresswell – Noble, Song, Downing – Nolan – Carroll, Valencia.

Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.73
We expect a spectacular game between two good teams, with good attacks this campaign. We chose to bet on goals from both sides, as we saw in the first leg, when West Ham won 3-1 in front of their own fans.
