Metalac Gornji Milanovac

Odds: 1Stake: 5/10

On 8th May at 15:00, there will be a contest between the Vrsac and Metalac teams as part of the Serbian First League. Current form of OFK Vrsac Vrsac demonstrated an impressive game in their last match against Novi Sad, securing a 2:0 victory. Vrsac sits at the second position in the Serbian First League with 43 points after 33 matches played. The team holds a 3-point cushion from the relegation zone and has recorded 11 victories, 10 draws and 12 defeats, including 2 victories in the last 5 rounds. Novi Sad, however, languishes at the 7th position with 24 points from 33 matches, showcasing less convincing results. Current form of Metalac Metalac, in their last encounter against Sloboda Uzice on 2nd May, faced defeat with a scoreline of 1:2. Metalac currently sits at the 4th spot in the Serbian First League table. Over the course of the 2023/2024 season, they have played 33 matches, winning 10, losing 12 and drawing 11. All in all, Metalac has amassed 41 points by netting 30 goals whilst conceding 36. As of now, their form constitutes 2 wins and 1 draw. Sloboda takes the 5th spot in the table after playing 33 matches as well, winning 10, losing 13 and tallying 40 points. Match prediction for Vrsac - Metalac My bet is on a goal from Metalac in a match between broadly equal competitors. The visitors have been scoring a lot for themselves in recent rounds: there have been victories 3:2 and 4:2, with a total of 9 goals scored across 4 rounds.

Serbia - Super Liga

Odds: 1.69Stake: 5/10

In today's Serbian Super League, Napredak and Partizan Belgrade will face off. Current form of Napredak In its last match, Napredak was served with its fourth consecutive defeat by Chukaricki, with a scoreline of 0:2. The team currently sits at the very bottom of the Serbian league championship group, the 8th place. Napredak has played 33 matches, and out of which they have won 11, lost 16 and drawn 6. They have scored a total of 33 goals and conceded 48, and at the moment have gathered 39 points, keeping them floating in the 8th position. The team's recent form includes four consecutive losses. Chukaricki sits comfortably at the 5th spot in the league table with 15 wins and 9 losses after 33 games, accumulating 54 points in total. Current form of Partizan Partizan Belgrade clashed against Vojvodina in their last match, and unfortunately tasted another defeat with a scoreline of 2:3. Currently placed at the second spot in the Serbian Super League, Partizan is failing to deliver towards the end of the season and counting their defeat against Red Star in the Cup semi-final, they have now lost 5 consecutive matches. They are 14 points behind the leader, with a total of 70 points from 33 rounds featuring 22 victories and 7 losses. Match prediction: Napredak - Partizan For the match between the current run of underperformers, I'm backing Napredak with a positive handicap. They managed to pull off a win in the first round after a series of defeats in head-to-head meetings.

Current form of AEZ AEZ Zakakiou succumbed to a defeat against Othellos with a score of 1:3 in the recent match of the Cyprus Championship.

Despite the drawn outcome, Apollon Limassol maintains the 7th position in the league table, having collected 60 points in 38 matches played. Their current form is: 1 win and 2 draws. Predictions for the matchAEZ - Apollon AEZ has been relegated from the Cypriot League for a few months and is on a terrible losing streak, but Apollon is first in the group and there's no motivation to thrash a weak opponent. I'll try a bet on a positive handicap for the hosts.

UEFA - Europa League

Odds: 1.53Stake: 5/10

On Thursday, 9th of May, the return leg of the Europa League semi-final, will see Leverkusen's Bayer host Roma. Predominantly, "Pharmacists" have gained a comfortable advantage last week and have a high chance of accomplishing a treble this campaign, having not lost a single match. Predicted Line-ups Bayer:Kovar; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie; Frimpong, Andrich, Xhaka, Grimaldo; Wirtz, Adli; Schick.Roma:Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Smalling, Spinazzola; Cristante, Paredes, Pellegrini; Dybala, Lukaku, El Shaarawy. Stadium The tie will take place in Leverkusen at the BayArena. Bayer A 48-match unbeaten run with 41 wins and 7 draws, this record defines Bayer Leverkusen, who haven't conceded a single loss this campaign, and this streak got maintained last week in Rome (a 0:2 win in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final). Frankly, Xabi Alonso's charges this season have turned into the team with the greatest unbeaten run in the modern era, ending Bayern's 11-year hegemony on the home front and crowned Bundesliga champions well before the end of the national championship. Moreover, the Black and Reds are contesting for the German Cup, with the final set against humble Kaiserslautern taking place on 25 May. Last weekend, the host team once again pleased their fans by beating Eintracht Frankfurt in the league (1:5); with goals being scored by Xhaka, Schick, Palacios, Frimpong and Bonif. It's crucial to note that Bayer registered at least two goals in the last ten home matches across all competitions, scoring nine victories out of them. Roma As last season's Europa League finalist, Roma fully understands the daunting challenge ahead if they are to overthrow Bayer in this tie. "The Wolves" must level the tie (Having lost the first leg 0:2) and most importantly, finally beat the "Pharmacists", a feat that no team has accomplished this campaign so far. De Rossi's men are not in their best form when current results are taken into account: The Scarlet and Orange drew 2:2 with crisis-stricken Napoli in the league, and last weekend settled for a draw against Juventus in a fairly open shoot-out (1:1); Lukaku and Bremer each registering a goal in the first half. As a result, the Romans fell behind Atalanta into the fifth position in the league table, which guarantees a place in the Champions League. A positive note for the Rome-side is that they have only faced one defeat in their last eleven away matches (6 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss). Head-to-head Meetings Last year, these two clubs met at the Europa League's stage at this venue, with Jose Mourinho's Roma assuring their place in the finals (1:0 on aggregate). Match Prediction Bayer vs Roma Bayer Leverkusen this season appears to be an invincible machine, and therefore it's hard to imagine any slip-up by the "Pharmacists" at the most crucial moment of their Europa League campaign. Xabi Alonso's men encountered no issues even at the packed Olimpico stands, and now they will have their own fans cheering them. It seems like Roma is not mentally ready to finish the season on a high note, prompting me to bet on the home side's triumph. Total Score Prediction Bayer has managed to score at least twice in their last ten home clashes across all competitions. No signs indicate that this streak will end this Thursday. Corner Prediction Roma must cut down a two-goal deficit, hence the visitors will be forced to push forward and attack. My bet is on Roma's individual corner total to clock in over 3.5. Yellow Card Prediction Each side possesses speedy attacking wings, hence defenders will have to commit many fouls (six yellow cards were shown in the first match). My bet is on a total of more than 4.5 bookings. Score Prediction I'll bet on a 3:1 exact score in favour of Bayer.

UEFA - Europa League

Odds: 1.75Stake: 5/10

On Thursday, 9 May, as part of the second leg of the Europa League semi-final, "Atalanta" will host "Marseille" at their home ground. The Italian team is a step away from its first European Cup final, although the "porters" haven't lost in their last five matches and have gained good momentum. Stadium The match will be held in Bergamo at the Atleti Azzurri stadium. "Atalanta" "Atalanta" managed not to lose at the Velodrome a week ago, which is a success for the Bergamaschi. For instance, the team's head coach Gasperini said after the match that he understood why "Marseille" had lost only one home match this season (against PSG). As for the hosts, the blue-and-whites have lost only twice in 2024 and have a run of two consecutive victories at home: against "Fiorentina" (4:1) and "Empoli" (2:0). "Atalanta" ranks fifth on the Serie A table and currently has every chance to qualify for the upcoming Champions League. Last Monday, the Italian club had to work hard in Salerno, but the favourite managed to claim its third consecutive championship victory (1:2), with Scamacca and Kupminas scoring in the second half. Gian Piero Gasperini's charges are not only doing well in Europe, but have also booked themselves a place in the final of the countrys cup at the end of this month they will meet "Juventus" in Rome. "Marseille" "Marseille" fans showed great support for their favourites from the stands at the Velodrome, but it wasn't enough for their team to win a week ago. Generally, the white and blue are failing to make it into European cups through the national championship, as they are only in 7th place in the tournament table, two points behind "Lens" (last weekend the team did not play in Ligue 1 due to this semi-final). However, Jean-Louis Gasset's charges are heading to Italy without defeat in their last five matches, drawing with "Toulouse" (2:2) and "Nice" (2:2) at home at the end of April. While "Atalanta" have never made it to the final of the European cups, the "porters" can boast rich achievements in this aspect: they were the strongest team in Europe in 1993, and then lost in 1999, 2004 and 2018 in the final matches of the UEFA Cup and the Europa League. It's important to note that "Marseille" have only won one of six away matches on the continental stage this campaign, and have also only earned 11 points away from home in Ligue 1. Head-to-head Meetings The match a week ago ended in a 1:1 draw, and before that, the teams had never met. "Atalanta" vs "Marseille" Match Prediction "Marseille" had all the chances to win the first meeting and gain an advantage before the trip to Italy, but failed to take several good chances to score. Football often reminds us that we need to seize our chances, as the opponent will not delay doing it after some time. This is exactly the scenario that could unfold in Bergamo, especially since the "porters" have lost four of their last five away matches. "Atalanta" has been performing beautifully at home and have every chance to enter their first European Cup final, I bet on a home win. Total Prediction "Marseille" has conceded at least twice in all five of their previous away matches, while the hosts have managed to score six goals in the last two matches. Confidently place a bet on Atalanta's individual total over 1.5 goals. Corner Prediction With the support of the home stands, "Atalanta" will be the first to play and dominate possession, so it makes sense to bet on a Bergamos victory in corners. Yellow Cards Prediction Neither side is known for their penchant for rough play, so I'm betting on under 4.5 total yellow cards in the match (one yellow was shown in the first match). Score Prediction I predict an exact score of 2:1 in favour of "Atalanta".

Turkey - Cup

Odds: 1.79Stake: 5/10

The semi-final return match of the Turkish Cup between "Fatih Karagumruk" and "Trabzonspor" is scheduled for Wednesday, 8 May at 17:30. Fatih Karagumruk The club from the fifteenth position in the league table is performing at an entirely different level in the Turkish Cup. They are evidently no mere visitors here. In the previous stage they eliminated "Galatasaray" 2:0 away, and in the first match against "Trabzonspor", they looked pretty solid, had the potential to clinch a draw while playing with an advantage, but fell slightly short. Trabzonspor Although the guests managed to clinch the previous encounter with a 3:2 victory, it's not to say they outperformed their rivals. The maroon-blues knocked out "Istanbul BB" 1:0 a bit earlier. I foresee a heated and close match as both teams have been showing their mettle lately. The guests boast a decent average individual total of 2.2 goals per match, and "Fatih Karagumruk" stands at 1.6. Head-to-head Since 2022, the teams have faced each other six times. Three victories for "Trabzonspor" (3:2, 5:1, 4:1), one for "Fatih Karagumruk" (4:1), and two matches ended in a draw (0:0, 1:1). Match predictionFatih Karagumruk - Trabzonspor This is an incredibly difficult match to predict. The hosts need only a victory here, whereas the guests may settle for a draw, potentially drying out the game if they score first. My choice here is handicap 2(0) for 1.79, the maroon-blues are a little more experienced and know how to play such matches.

Today, Othellos and Doxa Katokopias are set to face off in a game of the Cypriot League. Current form of Othellos Othellos played their last match against AEZ Zakakiou, and bagged a victory with a score of 3:1. At present, Othellos finds themselves in the 13th spot, on the Championship of Cyprus standings. For the current 2023/2024 season, the team has partaken in 38 matches, out of which they've emerged victorious in just 7, lost 22, and drew 9 matches. The team's goal statistic stands at 44:73, with a total of 30 points under their belt. The team's performance in the last 5 matches consists of 2 wins and 1 draw. Current form of Doxa In their most recent match, Doxa Katokopias played against AEL with a final score of 2:2. Doxa resides in the 12th spot, demonstrating 2 victories and 1 draw in the last 5 tours. The team stands no chance at redemption, holding a mere 32 points from 38 tours played, earning 9 victories and suffering 24 defeats. Prediction for the Match: Othellos - Doxa Katokopias In a match involving two disqualified teams in decent form with 3 non-defeat matches, I'm betting on the total goals over 3.

Germany - Bundesliga 2

Odds: 4.03Stake: 5/10

German Bundesliga 2, 32nd round, regular season, 07.05.2024. We've got a match between "Osnabrck" and "Schalke". "Osnabrck The team is presently at the bottom of the division, a clear underdog. The season's climax is near; only three matches remain, and to climb out of the relegation area, the squad will have to win these encounters. "Schalke" are far from threatening at the moment, so it's worth it to try. "Osnabrck" has a mere five wins with sixteen losses and ten draws. "Schalke" Once a strong Bundesliga mid-table team, now merely scraping by in Germany's second-tier division. The team is clearly not in their prime and arent yet ready for a Bundesliga comeback. Currently, they are on a streak of six matches without a defeat. Head-to-Head Statistics Since 2020, these teams have faced each other just three times. "Schalke" triumphed twice, quite convincingly (4:0, 5:1). There was one draw (2:2). Match Predictions and Betting It's clear that "Schalke" is head and shoulders above their opponents even in the current scenario, but the home team will have to give their all in this match. Otherwise, their relegation seems almost certain. Here, I'd pick: both to score yes, and for those who like long-odds: a draw.

07.05.2024

The semi-final of the Turkish Cup takes place on Tuesday, 7 May. The teams on the field will be "Besiktas" and "Ankaragucu". "Besiktas" This season has been challenging for the Eagles, but they have managed to reach the semi-finals of the cup. They are perfectly capable of taking the trophy, especially considering that "Galatasaray" and "Fenerbahce" have already been eliminated from the tournament, and the only serious opposition might come from "Trabzonspor". Although it's not good to look over your shoulder, I don't think "Ankaragucu" will be able to put up much of a fight against "Besiktas" on their own turf. "Ankaragucu" A middle-range team that doesn't stand out amongst other Turkish clubs. Their maximum is sparring with their league neighbours, but they struggle to compete with the top teams. They have been performing well in the Cup, although their sensational 3:0 win over "Fenerbahce" at their home ground in the last phase was probably a one-off. Head-to-Head Statistics Since 2023, the teams have met five times. "Besiktas" came out on top twice (2:0, 2:1), there have been two draws (0:0, 1:1), and one victory for "Ankaragucu" (1:1 (4:3) on penalties). Match Forecast and Bet Personally, I believe in "Besiktas" in this showdown and will simply take a victory1. However, it definitely wont be a cakewalk for them as the hosts are far from optimal playing conditions. It could also be worth considering TU (2.5), as it's highly unlikely that anyone would plunge into a reckless attack from the first minute. The stakes are already high, afterall it's a semi-final.

Current form of Honvd Honvd played their last match against Kazincbarcika, suffering a 1-0 defeat. The lone goal of the game was scored by Pintr at the 51st minute. This result impacts Honvd's current standing in the Hungarian Championship leaderboard - they are in 10th place.

Match prediction: Honvd - Vasas Vasas is aiming for medals and entry into the top Hungarian league, whereas Honvd has no particular motivation as they have secured their position away from relegation. My bet is placed on a win for the away team, Vasas.

Furthermore, their latest performances have been marked by stability, clinching 2 back-to-back wins. Match Prediction: Bnei Sakhnin - Maccabi Tel Aviv Based on the head-to-head history of these teams, Maccabi clearly has an upper hand they've claimed 38 victories in contrast to Bnei Sakhnin's 6. I'm backing the league leaders to triumph on the road with a 4-point advantage.

UEFA - Champions League

Odds: 1.87Stake: 5/10

On Wednesday, 8th May, as part of the semi-final second leg of the Champion's League, Madrid's "Real" will host "Bayern" on their home soil. On the preceding week, the teams had an intense standoff in Germany, resulting in a tie (2:2), and now both sides are on equal footing. Anticipated Line-Ups Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Rdiger, Nacho, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouamni, Kroos; Bellingham; Rodrigo, Vinicius. Bayern: Neuer; Kimmich, Dier, De Ligt, Mazraoui; Goretzka, Laimer; San, Musiala, Gnabry; Kane. Real Madrid Even with far-from-stellar gameplay, "Real Madrid" managed to avoid defeat in Munich last week - all thanks to Vinicius, who clinched a brace, facilitating a 2:2 draw. This season, only one team managed to overpower them - "Atletico", twice nonetheless. However, the Madrid side remains undefeated within the confines of Bernabeu in all the competitions. Last Saturday, they secured another victory in La Liga, prevailing 3:0 against bottom-ranked "Cadiz". As a result of this win and subsequent slip-ups by "Barca" in Girona, they claimed their 36th title. Only "Juventus" shares the same number of predominant national cups in the history of Europe's five strongest leagues. Now, the players under Carlo Ancelotti will shift their focus to raising the most prestigious continental trophy for the 15th time. It's worthy to note that the home team scored in 28 consecutive Champions League matches on their ground. In the absence of Courtois, Andriy Lunin showcased his prowess last time on the pitch, and Ancelotti would likely prefer to play him as a starter despite the Belgian's potential return following a severe injury. The only absentee within Madrid ranks is the Austrian David Alaba. Vinicius, who scored twice at the Allianz Arena, has amassed 5 goals in the Champions League this season and will once again terrorize Munich's defence. Add to the mix Brazil's Rodrigo (also with 5 Champions League goals), who earned a penalty in Germany, and Jude Bellingham (17 goals in La Liga). The supporting area will be filled with the return of Toni Kroos and Federico Valverde following the weekend rest, with Mendy and Carvajal taking up the flanks on defence. Bayern Should there exist a team who might interrupt "Real Madrid's" undefeated run at Bernabeu, it would be "Bayern". Bearing in mind the second most successful team in Europe in the last decade. Thomas Tuchel's proteges lost the Bundesliga crown to "Bayer Leverkusen" in the spring, putting an end to their 11 years reign in Germany. Over the last weekend, the White-Reds, sitting comfortably in second place on the tournament table, visited "Stuttgart", where they suffered a 3:1 defeat. This allowed their closest competitors to close the gap to two points. So far in 2024, "Bayern" hasn't recorded a 'clean sheet' victory away from home and has only managed to secure three wins in the entire duration. This season saw the Munich side being plagued by injuries, with Coman, Boey (acquired this winter), Buchmann, Marusic, and Bouna Sarr currently side-lined. Rafael Guerreiro also suffered an injury over the weekend, leaving his participation in question. On the brighter side, Gnabry (only 3 goals in 9 matches), Leroy San (8 goals, 11 assists) and Musiala are set to feature in Madrid. Harry Kane (43 goals, 11 assists), clearly eyeing the Golden Boot this season, seems doubly motivated; clinching the title of the Champion's League or even Euro could boost his bid for the 2024 Best Footballer title. Recovered from an injury, De Ligt will partner with Dier as centre-backs, with Manuel Neuer guarding the visitor's goal. Head-to-Head There have been no goalless draws (0:0) yet in the official competitions between these clubs. In 2012, despite losing the second leg of the Champions League semi-final (2:1) after clinching a 2:1 win on home soil, "Bayern" advanced to the semi-finals through a penalty shootout. In the three subsequent confrontations, it was the Madrid side who emerged victorious. Match prediction: Real Madrid - Bayern "Bayern" Munich experienced too many defeats at the hands of the Madrid side over the last decade, and thus, will be yearning for a comeback. However, the predicted outcome is a tall order. The home team hasn't lost a single match on their turf this season and have been formidable in the Champions League. Moreover, the German side's injury list is extensive, whereas Ancelotti is likely to deploy his optimal line-up. My forecast - a victory for the favourites.

UEFA - Champions League

Odds: 1.49Stake: 5/10

Tuesday, the 7th of May, will witness the French champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) welcoming Borussia Dortmund in their home field for a critical Champions League semi-final second leg match. A minimal defeat at Signal Iduna Park last week has left PSG a mere 90 minutes away from exiting the competition. Stadium The match will take place at Parc-des-Princes in Paris. Paris Saint-Germain Despite a disappointing first leg at Signal Iduna Park, PSG had opportunities to secure a draw with solid chances from Dembele and Fabian Ruiz. Similar to the Barcelona match in the previous round, Luis Enrique's charges will again be backed into a corner for this second leg, yet they have the advantage of home turf. A championship title was comfortably bagged despite a challenging game against Le Havre (3:3) a fortnight ago. The hosts have suffered only two home-field defeats in the current campaign: against Barcelona in the first leg of the quarterfinals (2:3) and Nice back in the fifth round in September last year (2:3). Their schedule was revised to play against Nice this weekend after initial delays. Borussia Dortmund Borussia Dortmund put up a commendable performance last week with a slim 1:0 victory. This win awarded the German team the second-best UEFA coefficient, guaranteeing five Bundesliga representatives in the subsequent autumn's Champions League. Edin Terzic's charges, currently fifth in the league, would undoubtedly appreciate this. They aspire to win their second Champions League, a fitting farewell to Marco Reuss final season with the team. However, their recent away form has been lacking with defeats against Atletico Madrid (2:1) in the quarterfinals' first leg and RB Leipzig (4:1) ten days ago. Yet, they confidently defeated Augsburg (4:1) at home last Saturday. Head to Head Last week's match marked the seventh meetup and the third in this season between the two clubs. In the group stage, Dortmund overcame PSG (2:0) and secured a draw in the home leg (1:1). Match Forecast My bet is on a triumphant win for Paris Saint-Germain. They have suffered only two home game losses this season, conceding three goals in each match. It's uncertain how Luis Enrique will crack Dortmund's compact defense. However, the hosts have had a week's rest and are backed by their home crowd. Total Forecast Paris created ample opportunities in the first leg but lacked finishing. I would bet on PSG's ITO 1.5 goals. Corner Forecast PSG needs to compensate for the deficit in the first leg, thus I expect they will attack Dortmund's goal from the onset. Hence, I place a bet on PSG for over 5.5 corners. Yellow Card Forecast Given the lack of history of rough play from both sides, I would bet on TU 4.5 yellow cards. Score Forecast Overall, I predict a 2:0 victory for PSG.

Italy - Serie A

Odds: 3.31Stake: 5/10

On Monday, May 6th, within the 35th round of the Italian Serie A, Udinese will host Napoli on their home ground. Although the visitors recently handed over the Scudetto to Inter Milan and are only vying for a finish in the European zone, the Friulians are fighting for survival and are three points behind the saving 17th spot. Udinese Udinese, occupying the 18th place in the Serie A standings and being just three points away from the drop zone, is in grave danger of relegation as there are only four rounds left in the championship. The Friulians need to improve their results in May, having won only one of their last 10 matches in the championship, drawing four times and losing five times. However, they managed to carve out a draw with Bologna (1-1) last weekend in Fabio Cannavaro's second game in charge. The precise first-half strike of Martin Paiiero put the underdog in front, but the Rossoblu, even despite being reduced to 10 men, restored parity on the scoreboard in the 78th minute of the meeting through the efforts of Saelemaekers. Prior to that, the Zebras had suffered three straight defeats (from Inter, Verona, and Roma). Only the already relegated Salernitana has amassed fewer points in home matches than the hosts (a mere 12) this season; moreover, the Friulians have won just one of 17 games on their own turf. Napoli Last season's Serie A champion, Napoli, is having a much harder time this campaign, having changed several managers. Occupying the 9th spot in the standings, the Neapolitan team has a good chance of securing a European berth: Thanks to Atalanta's successful performances in the Europa League and the country's Cup, the eighth spot also gives the right to play in the Conference League. The guests have been in crisis in the recent weeks, recording only one win in the past seven rounds, drawing four times and losing twice. After losing away to Empoli (1:0), the Sky-Blues shared points with Roma (2:2) last weekend: goals by Matias Olivera and Victor Osimhen were answered by precise strikes from Paulo Dybala and Tammy Abraham. Given the team's performances, it's no surprise that reports of a possible appointment of Antonio Conte as head coach next summer are becoming increasingly frequent. Napoli faces a rather tough championship finale: after visiting Udine, they will play Fiorentina and Bologna. Head-to-Head In their last 15 meetings with Napoli, Udinese picked up only two points, conceding an average of nearly three goals per game. The first leg also ended with a crushing victory for the Sky-Blues, with a score of 4:1. Match Prediction for Udinese vs Napoli Given that Udinese has drawn half of their matches this season, they could find themselves in Serie B due to their inability to finish off opponents in matches. Napoli, too, is often guilty of wastefulness in the final third, and staff losses do not allow the coaching staff to count on more than a Conference League berth. Considering all factors, it's reasonable to bet on a draw this evening. Goal Total Prediction Although Udinese concedes, on average, two goals per game, they have also rarely come away without scoring in six out of their last seven rounds. Confidently place a bet on "both teams to score". Corners Prediction Udinese averages 4.2 corners per match, while the visitors deliver 6.4. I'll stake on a triumph for the Partenopei in this category tonight. Yellow Cards Prediction With both teams in desperate need of points, none of the players will want to hold back in field duels. I'll bet on the total number of yellow cards exceeding 4.5. Score Prediction I'll wager on a final score of 1:1.

On Monday, the 6th of May, within the bars of the 35th tour of Italian Serie A, "Salernitana" will host "Atalanta". The club from Bergamo is on an arms length from the finale of the Europa League and is preparing to participate in a decisive match in the national cup, while the hosts have already secured their departure from the elite division. Predicted lineups "Salernitana":Costil; Manolas, Fazio, Pirola; Sambia, Coulibaly, Basic, Bradaric; Vignato, Tchaouna; Ikwuemesi."Atalanta":Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Hien, Djimsiti; Hateboer, De Roon, Adopo, Bakker; Miranchuk, Lookman; Toure. Stadium The match is set to take place in Salerno at the Arechi Stadium. "Salernitana" The current season for "Salernitana" has turned into a real nightmare, and they are already guaranteed a place in Serie B next campaign. Having collected only 15 points in 34 tours, the club from the basement of the league table has yet to regain former form. Stefano Colantuono's charges became only the sixth team in Serie A history to earn 15 or fewer points at this stage of the championship. Being in free fall for several months now, the white-brown team haven't won any of the last 16 championship matches (3 draws and 13 defeats). At present, "Salernitana" has suffered 3 consecutive defeats: against "Lazio" (4:1), "Fiorentina" (0:2), and "Frosinone" last weekend (3:0). Furthermore, the hosts haven't tasted success in 2024, scoring only 11 goals and conceding 37. It's hardly surprising that "the sea horses" occupy the last place in the overall standings in terms of points garnered at home (just 8 points in 17 clashes, 15 goals scored, 34 conceded). "Atalanta" "Atalanta" is in 6th position in the Serie A league table, with a game in hand and trailing the top five by 2 points. Thus, the fate of the Bergamo-based club is in their own hands if they wish to participate in the Champions League. Over the last 6 rounds, Gian Piero Gasperinis trainees have succumbed only once, winning thrice and drawing twice. Following a home draw with "Verona" (2:2), they triumphed over "Monza" (1:2) and "Empoli" last weekend (2:0). Last week, the blue-and-white team drew with "Marseille" in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final (1:1): Gianluca Scamacca broke the deadlock already in the 11th minute, yet Mbemba restored parity on the scoreboard 9 minutes later with a fierce shot. Moreover, "Atalanta" will attempt to replicate their success in the national cup at the end of the month, clashing with "Juventus" in the final. It's important to note that the visitors rank only eighth in the overall standings in terms of points gained away from home (22 points in 17 away matches, 26 goals scored , 25 conceded). Head-to-head meetings The visitors inflicted the heaviest defeat on the Campanian club in Serie A history (8:2) in January last year. The meeting of the first round ended likewise in triumph for the blue-and-whites, 4:1. Prediction for the match "Salernitana" "Atalanta" "Atalanta" is in peak form as the long season approaches its end and, even if Gasperini opts for significant squad rotation, the guests are likely to leave Stadio Arechi with a victory. "Salernitana" is officially relegated to Serie B and remains in deep crisis, not knowing victory since last year. My prediction is victory for Bergamo with a handicap of -1. Prediction on the total "Salernitana" has been conceding on average 2.5 goals per match this spring, suggesting at least two goals scored by "Atalanta" tonight. Prediction on corners The guests outweigh their opponent in class and play first number. I expect the favourite to win by all key indicators, including corners (handicap -1.5). Prediction on yellow cards "Salernitana" accumulates, on average, 2.5 yellow cards per game and is likely to meet this quota in the clash with the technically equipped attackers from Bergamo. Prediction on score I would place a bet on the exact score of 1:3 in favour of "Atalanta".
