England - Premier League

Odds: 1.62Stake: 5/10

+3.1

On Thursday, 25 April, in the 35th round of the EPL, "Newcastle" will host "Sheffield United" at their home ground. Both teams are preparing for the match after midweek losses: the "Magpies" unexpectedly lost to "Crystal Palace" in London by a score of 2:0, while "Manchester United" dealt with the "Blades" (4:2). Newcastle United "Newcastle" is in 7th place in the Premier League table, trailing the top six by 3 points, synonymous with qualifying for European football. From the very start of the season, the "Magpies" have shown inconsistency in results and look a lot worse in play than a year ago. This week, the black-and-whites disappointed their fans, losing to "Crystal Palace" by a score of 2:0, while Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a brace in the second half. This result ended a positive series of 4 rounds without defeat (3 wins and 1 draw) and followed an emphatic 4:0 victory over "Tottenham". Eddie Howe's squad will be happy to return to St. James's Park, where they've won three times and drawn once in the last four championship matches, scoring 12 goals. It's worth noting that "Newcastle" has been lucky with the schedule at the end of the campaign: in the upcoming rounds, the "Magpies" will face two league outsiders "Sheffield United" and "Burnley". The "Newcastle" squad for this match is still weakened by personnel losses: injured goalkeeper Pope, central defender Botman, midfielders Joelinton and Almiron (3 goals), promising 17-year-old midfielder Maili and lateral Lascelles. Captain Trippier, midfielder Willock and defender Targett are also recovering in the infirmary, while Sandro Tonali continues to serve a long-term suspension. On the other hand, forward Wilson (7 goals) returned to action in the last round; he is expected to compete for a place at the forefront of the attack with Gordon (10 goals and 8 assists) and Isak (17 goals). In the midfield, Bruno Guimaraes dictates the team's play, while Krafth and Schar form the centre-back pair. Sheffield United "Sheffield United" holds the last place in the Premier League table, amassing just 16 points in 34 rounds, and such a result may lead to the "Blades'" official relegation this weekend. The red-and-blacks are in a deep crisis and haven't won any of their last 10 championship matches (3 draws and 7 defeats). Following a triumph over "Chelsea" (2:2), Chris Wilder's side lost to "Brentford" (2:0), "Burnley" (1:4), and "Manchester United" this week (4:2). The underdog twice took the lead thanks to goals from Jayden Bogle and Ben Brereton Diaz, but Harry Maguire equalised, and Bruno Fernandes scored two goals and assisted Rasmus Hjlund towards the end. This season, "Sheffield" has conceded 92 goals in 34 rounds, surpassing the previous record of "Derby County" (89 goals) in the 2007/08 campaign. Few would be surprised that the "Blades" are the absolute worst Premier League team for away performances: 6 points in 17 away games, 15 goals scored, and 41 conceded. The guests' squad continues to miss defenders Baldock, Basham and Egan, as well as regularly substitute Norrington-Davis, Lowe, Davis and Jebbison they are all injured. In addition, the participation of defender Robinson and forward Brewster in the match remains in question. Brereton Diaz (5 goals and 1 assist in 10 matches) joined the club this winter and quickly became the team's main attacking force. Twenty-year-old midfielder Oliver Arblaster has a good chance of making the starting lineup, while Wes Foderingham hopes to retain his place in goal. Head-to-Head The "Blades" have celebrated an away Premier League victory over "Newcastle" only once by a score of 1:0 in November 2006. The first round match ended with an emphatic 0:8 victory for the black-and-whites. Match prediction Newcastle Sheffield United Given the looming relegation, the "Blades" are just playing out the season without any tournament motivation, while the "Magpies" are trying to get back into the European area and simply can't afford a slip in this round trailing the sixth-ranked "Manchester United" by three points. The hosts are superior in class and should easily prevail on Saturday (-1.5 handicap).

On Thursday, 25th April, as part of the 35th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will host Burnley on their home soil. The Red Devils have returned to the sixth spot in the league table, thanks to a 4:2 victory over Sheffield United on Wednesday evening, whilst the visitors have slipped into the relegation zone, trailing 17th-place Nottingham by three points. Predicted Lineups Manchester United: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Maguire, Dalot; Matic, McTominay; Amad, Fernandes, Januzaj; Haaland. Burnley: Muric; Assin'ion, O'Shea, Estevo, Taylor; Vitinho, Kallen, Berge, Larsen; Foster, Odobert. Manchester United Having fallen out of the race for the 'big four', Manchester United is sitting 6th in the Premier League table, hoping to secure a spot in the European competitions next season, with a three-point lead over 7th. This season has been a disappointment for the Red Devils' fans, who expected better given the quality of their squad. However, Erik Ten Haag's men broke a run of four unsuccessful games (three draws and one loss), beating the struggling Sheffield United 4:2, thanks to a brace from Bruno Fernandes. In the FA Cup, Manchester United narrowly beat Coventry (3:3, penalty shootout) and will face Manchester City in the final. This is the first time since mid-February that the Red Devils have the opportunity to win two league games in a row. The closing round's calendar is not promising for the hosts: in May, they face Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Brighton, as well as the FA Cup final against Manchester City. Manchester United is missing several key players due to injury, among them defenders Varane, Shaw, Lisandro Martnez, and Lindelof, midfielders Mount, as well as Malasia and Martial. Furthermore, centre-back Evans, winger Rashford (7 goals), and young Kamavala remain doubtful. Bruno Fernandes, who is in excellent form this spring, scored a brace this week and is deservedly expected to start against Burnley. Undoubtedly, we will see Danish striker Haaland (8 goals and 2 assists) in the centre forward position, even though he's netted only one goal in the Premier League since mid-February. Burnley Burnley's return to the top flight has been challenging, as they find themselves in 19th position, penultimate in the Premier League table. However, Vincent Kompany's men still have a chance to retain their place in the Premier League, being just 3 points behind Nottingham Forest who are placed higher. Over the past few weeks, The Clarets have improved their results, suffering a single defeat in the last seven rounds, along with two wins and four draws. Following a draw at home against Brighton (1:1), the Lancashire team claimed a resounding victory over Sheffield United with a 1:4 scoreline last weekend. The team will face Newcastle and Tottenham in the next two rounds, whilst a home game against Forest will conclude their season - this match could be a decisive battle for survival. It is worth noting that Burnley ranks 17th in terms of away points gathered (13 points in 17 away matches, 20 goals scored, 32 conceded). The Clarets' squad still misses Al-Dakhil and Bayer in defence, as well as wingers Coleosho, Ramsey, and Redmond due to injury. Estevo and Assin'ion had joined the club in January and quickly adapted to Kompany's tactical plans, with the latter even scoring a goal last weekend. Foster (5 goals and 3 assists) and Fofana (4 goals in 12 matches) will be responsible for the creativity in attack, whilst despite impressing at Bramall Lane, Josh Brownhill and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are likely to be among the substitutes. Head-to-Head In their last six encounters, the Red Devils have won five and drawn once, including a 0:1 victory at Turf Moor earlier this season. Prediction for the match Manchester United - Burnley Burnley is currently in good form and fighting for their Premier League place, whilst Manchester United has barely managed to defeat the sinking Sheffield side last Wednesday. Besides higher physical fatigue, the hosts will be missing several injured players. I expect Kompany's wards to put on a fight against the illustrious grand team, and so I'm betting on a handicap of +1.5 for the underdog.

England - Premier League

West Ham United

The match is over

Odds: 1.56Stake: 5/10

On Thursday, 25th April, as part of the 35th Premier League tour, West Ham will host Liverpool at its home ground. Liverpool have suffered two consecutive defeats against Fulham and Crystal Palace, respectively, which has significantly derailed their opportunity to claim the championship. As for the home team, West Ham, they too are undergoing a crisis and it's highly doubtful they'll make it into the European cups. Predicted Lineups West Ham: Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson; Alvarez, Soucek; Kudus, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta; Antonio. Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansa, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Endo, MacAllister; Salah, Nunez, Dias. West Ham Currently placing eighth in the Premier League table and trailing sixth place Manchester United by five points, West Ham's chances of qualifying for the European cups are slim. In recent weeks, the Hammers have been markedly struggling: over the last 7 tours, they have secured only one victory, played to a draw thrice, and endured three losses. After triumphing over Wolverhampton (2:1), the Londoners fell to Fulham (0:2) at home, and Crystal Palace the past weekend (5:2). West Ham conceded three goals in the first 20 minutes, after which Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a brace, completely nullifying any hopes of a comeback for the opponents. It's noteworthy that the hosts have only won one of their last eight home matches in the championship, beating Brentford 4:2 in February. In addition to this, David Moyes's charges were eliminated at the quarter-final stage of the Europa League by Bayer Leverkusen. Jarrod Bowen (15 goals and 5 assists in UCL) and key defenders Aguero and Mavropanos are all out due to injury. Michail Antonio (5 goals and 2 assists), who has scored in the last two matches, might return to the attacking frontline; whereas Ward-Prowse (6 goals and 7 assists), Kudus (7 goals and 4 assists) and Paqueta (4 goals and 6 assists) are to take their usual midfield positions. Ben Johnson and Aaron Cresswell will be expected to join the defensive flanks, while the midfield's reliability falls to Kalvin Phillips, Thomas Soucek, and Edson Alvarez. Alphonse Areola, after recently recovering from an injury, will likely replace veteran Lukasz Fabianski as the goalkeeper. Liverpool Liverpool sits only at the second position in the Premier League table, three points behind leading Arsenal. The gap could widen if Manchester City wins its match Thursday evening. Therefore, the Merseyside club has practically lost its chances at the champions title, all due to a dismal performance in April. The Reds have accumulated only one win in their last four matches, with two losses. After conceding at Anfield to Crystal Palace (0:1), Jurgen Klopp's charges overcame Fulham (3:1) last weekend. Unfortunately for the team's supporters, the Merseysiders stumbled once again this week this time against Everton (2:0) in a derby where Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were the scorers. It's interesting to note that Liverpool, under the German coach, has won more Premier League matches against Crystal Palace (13), than against West Ham (12). Liverpool was also pinned as a favourite to win the Europa League, but they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Atalanta (3:1 on aggregate). Worthy to mention that Diogo Jota (10 goals and 3 assists), experienced players Matip and Thiago Alcantara, as well as promising right-back Bradley, are all sidelined due to injuries. Adding to the uncertainty is Dutch player Gakpo (6 goals and 4 assists), who missed the previous round for personal reasons. The attacking trio might stay the same: Salah (17 goals and 9 assists), Luis Dias (8 goals and 4 assists), and Darwin Nunez (11 goals and 8 assists) are responsible for creativity upfront, while Szoboszlai, Endo and MacAllister will fill the midfield roles. Head to Head West Ham has suffered 12 losses in their last 14 Premier League encounters against the Reds. The first leg of the match was a landslide victory for Liverpool: 5:1. Prediction for the Match West Ham - Liverpool Victory is crucial for both clubs as they are not in their best form and will strive to regain their supporters' trust. West Ham still has chances to qualify for the European cups, whereas the Reds will comprehensively fall out from the championship title battle in case of a mishap. Nevertheless, even accounting for their mediocre condition, the visitors outclass their opponents I place my bet on a win for the Merseysiders.

On Thursday, 25th April, within the rescheduled 29th round of the Premier League, Brighton will host Manchester City at home. The "Citizens" are battling for the championship title and simply do not have the right to stumble, whereas the "Seagulls" have not been impressive in Spring and have not known victory for four matches in a row. Predicted Line Ups "Brighton":Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Igor; Gross, Baleba; Adingra, Lallana, Pedro; Welbeck."Manchester City":Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Rodri, Kovacic; Foden, De Bruyne, Doku; Alvarez. Brighton Brighton currently occupies 10th place in the Premier League table and can hardly count on finishing in the European zone: they are six points behind the seventh-placed Manchester United. In recent weeks, the "Seagulls" seem to have lost steam: they have only won one of their last 7 league matches with three draws and three defeats. Roberto De Zerbi's squad suffered a heavy loss at home against Arsenal, fighting for the title (0:3), and before that, drew 1:1 with struggling Burnley. An autogoal, scored by Burnley keeper Muric, restored parity on the scoreboard just five minutes after Josh Brownhill had put the home side in front. However, it's important to note that the southerners have lost only one of the last 15 matches at the AMEX in all competitions to Arsenal on 6th April. Furthermore, the blue and whites rank ninth in the overall count for points earned on home turf (27 in 15 matches, 28 goals scored, 19 conceded). Manchester City The reigning English champions, Manchester City, hold their destiny in their own hands and have every chance to achieve four triumphs in a row in the Premier League. At the moment, the "Citizens" are in 3rd place in the Premier League table, with one game in hand and lagging behind the two leaders (Arsenal and Liverpool) by one point. Pep Guardiola's charges have not lost a single match in the last 17 rounds (13 wins and 4 draws), and have also achieved three consecutive victories in April: over Aston Villa (4:1), Crystal Palace (2:4), and Luton Town (5:1). Last weekend, the sky blues had to put forth a lot of effort to beat Chelsea and reach the final of the FA Cup (1:0), and this happened after a bitter exit from the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid the only goal of Bernardo Silva in the dying minutes decided everything. An interesting fact: the visitors have won 17 of their last 19 midweek Premier League matches and have collected 19 points out of a possible 21 in their last seven away duels. Head to Head The only two times when City failed to beat Brighton in the Premier League happened to fall on mid-week encounters at AMEX (a loss of 3:2 in May 2021 and a draw 1:1 in May 2023). Prediction for the Brighton vs Manchester City match Brighton have had more than a week to rest and prepare for Thursday's crucial match only a victory will allow the "Seagulls" to keep their chances of finishing in the European zone. However, it seems difficult to believe such an outcome: Man City are competing for the title and usually does not stumble at such crucial moments in the campaign. My prediction Citizens triumph with a handicap of -1. Over/Under Prediction In five out of the previous six head-to-head encounters of these teams, goals were exchanged. I think the hosts are capable of breaking through the opponent's defence, worn out by the fixture, at least once. Corner Kicks Prediction Both teams preach an exclusively attacking style of football, and we are likely to see at least 10 corner kicks in the match. Yellow Cards Prediction Neither side is known for rough play, so we boldly go for a total of fewer than 4.5 bookings. Score Prediction I'll stake on an exact score of 1:3 in favour of "Man City".

On Wednesday, 24 April in a rescheduled match for the 29th round of the Premier League, Everton welcomes Liverpool on their home ground. While the Reds outclassed Fulham in London on Sunday with a score of 1:3, Sean Dyche's team took down Nottingham Forest (2:0) thereby increasing their chances of retaining their Premier League status. Predicted Line-ups Everton:Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Onana, Gueye, McNeil; Doucoure; Calvert-Lewin.Liverpool:Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Endo, Mac Allister; Salah, Nunez, Diaz. Everton This season, the English Football Association imposed an eight-point penalty on Everton, so the Toffees will have to make a tremendous effort to avoid the drop. Despite this, the Blues sit 16th in the Premier League table, with a game in hand and five points clear of 18th-placed Luton. Winning 2 from their last 4 matches, with a single draw and defeat, Sean Dyche's squad has gained good momentum in April. After a 6:0 thrashing by Chelsea, the hosts managed a 2:0 victory against their direct relegation competitor, Nottingham Forest, last weekend -- all thanks to two strikingly similar goals by Idrissa Gueye and Dwight McNeil. It's crucial to note that the Toffees have only lost one of their last six matches at Goodison Park, and in each of their last 11 Premier League home victories, they managed to keep a clean sheet! Nevertheless, the hosts are ranked only 17th in overall home points tally (19 points from 16 home games, 18 goals scored, 18 conceded). Liverpool Fighting for a championship title in his last season at the helm of Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp's charges sit 2nd in the league table, with as many points as the leader - Arsenal. However, Manchester City is only one point behind, with a game in hand. Following eight unbeaten matches (6 wins and 2 draws), the Reds faced a sensational 0:1 fiasco against Crystal Palace. Last weekend, the Merseyside outfit redeemed themselves by handling a strong Fulham (1:3) in London. Timothy Castagne replied to a spectacular free-kick by Trent Alexander-Arnold, but in the second half, Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota scored goals. The commendable goal scoring streak of the Reds on away Premier League matches is now up to 20, since their goalless clash with Chelsea in April last year.Last Thursday, the club was knocked out of the Europa League playoffs, losing to Atalanta (3:1) at the quarter-final stage. Liverpool's squad still misses experienced Matip and Thiago Alcantara, along with right-back Bradley; there are no additional player losses in the visitor's camp. Head-to-Head In October, Everton was beaten by Liverpool (2:0) at Anfield, however, in five of their last six face-offs at Goodison Park, the teams finished on level terms. Prediction for Everton vs Liverpool Match Klopp's team handled a sturdy Fulham with ease, despite a string of disappointing outcomes early in the week. The Reds are still in the running for the championship title, but slip-ups are no longer an option - any points dropped would surely prove fatal. In recent years, Everton has regularly upset Liverpool at Goodison Park, but this time it will differ. I'm backing the favourite to triumph by a margin of 1-2 goals. Total Goals Prediction Everton failed to notch any goals against the Reds in their last four derbies, while they've only conceded an average of a goal per match at home. My prediction is an overall total of under 3.5 goals. Corner Prediction Liverpool outclasses the opponent and will hold the initiative throughout the match. I'm putting money on the individual total for the visitors on corners to be over 5.5. Yellow Card Prediction Playing as the home team, they will spend significant time in defence and will be forced to regularly break the tempo of the opponent's attacks with fouls. I'm backing the Toffees to win the yellow card count. Score Prediction I'm wagering for a precise score of 0:1 in favour of Liverpool.

On Wednesday, 24th of April, in the postponed match of the 29th round of the Premier League, "Wolverhampton" will host "Bournemouth". After a loss to "Arsenal" over the weekend, the orange team will seek rehabilitation in front of the home crowd, while the "cherries" no longer have any tournament motivation for the remaining part of the season. Predicted lineups Wolverhampton:Sa; S. Bueno, Kilman, Toti; Doherty, Lemina, Gomes, Doyle, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Hwang.Bournemouth:Neto; Aarons, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kelly; Christie, Cook; Semenyo, Kluivert, Kerkez; Solanke. Stadium The showdown will take place at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton Wolverhampton sits in 11th place in the Premier League table, and the team's only remaining goal for the rest of the season is to finish in the top ten. The hosts haven't been able to secure a single win in the last five rounds (2 draws and 3 defeats), accruing points only in games against Burnley (1:1) and Nottingham Forest (2:2). Over the weekend, Wolverhampton logically fell to the title contender - London's Arsenal (0:2) - in front of their own fans. Moreover, the oranges lost each of their last three home games - the last time Wolves suffered four consecutive defeats at Molineux was in 2017. It's worth noting that Gary O'Neill's team ranks only 12th in the overall ranking by points garnered at home: 24 points in 16 games. What cannot but worry the fans is the following fact: Wolverhampton has conceded at least two goals in five of their last six games in all competitions. Bournemouth Sitting 13th in the Premier League table and trailing upcoming opponents by just one point, Bournemouth is also finishing the season without any particular tournament goals. Recently, the "cherries" gathered momentum, going five rounds unbeaten (4 wins and 1 draw). However, Andoni Iraola's wards couldn't secure a win in their last three matches. A couple of weeks ago, the team held Manchester United to a draw (2:2), alongside setbacks against Luton (2:1) and a contender for a top-4 spot Aston Villa (3:1). This continues a disturbing trend for the southerners: they have now lost five meetings in the course of the current campaign after being the first to score. Notably, Bournemouth ranks 11th in the league table by points earned away from home (18 in 16 away games, 25 goals scored, 34 conceded). Head-to-head encounters In the first round of the current campaign, Wolverhampton achieved a 1:2 away win. In their last seven head-to-head matches, the Cherries have come out on top only once. Match prediction: Wolverhampton Bournemouth The Wolves lost only one of their last seven Premier League meetings with Bournemouth, and there's every reason for this trend to continue on Wednesday night. Bournemouth seems to have lost motivation lately due to the lack of tournament duties and is finishing the season at its leisure. Nevertheless, the Wolves themselves aren't particularly shining in April - a draw is a sensible bet. Over/under prediction In only one of the previous four head-to-head matches was there an exchange of goals. Given that both teams possess quality performers and average 1.5 goals per game this season, I would wager on "Both Teams to Score". Corner prediction The Wolves win an average of 4 corners per game, whilst the red and blacks earn 6! I confidently predict a victory for the visitors in corners. Yellow cards prediction Neither team has any real tournament motivation in the remaining rounds, meaning no one will be risking extra clashes. I predict under 4.5 total bookings. Score prediction I'm going for a precise score of 1:1.

On Wednesday, the 24th of April, as part of the 29th round of the Premier League, "Crystal Palace" will host "Newcastle United" on their home ground. Eddie Howe's proteges didn't play last weekend due to the country's cup semi-finals, whereas "the Eagles" thrashed "West Ham" with a score of 5:2, setting a new club record concurrently. Predicted Lineups "Crystal Palace":Henderson; Clyne, Richards, Andersen; Munoz, Ahamada, Hughes, Mitchell; Olise, Mateta, Eze."Newcastle":Dubravka; Murphy, Krafth, Schar, Burn; Anderson, Guimaraes, Longstaff; Gordon, Isak, Barnes. Stadium The competition will take place in London at the Selhurst Park stadium. "Crystal Palace" Occupying the 14th place in the Premier League table with one game in hand and being 11 points away from the relegation zone, "Crystal Palace" needs to score just 2 points to secure their perch in the elite. After going 5 rounds without a victory (2 draws and 3 losses), Oliver Glasner's proteges delivered two stunning matches in the last weeks: first the red and blues sensationally defeated "Liverpool" at Anfield (0:1), and then thrashed "West Ham" (5:2) last weekend. In the first half, Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, and Emerson Palmieri scored, followed by a brace from Jean-Philippe Mateta. The last time "Palace" claimed consecutive Premier League victories was in April 2023, when they beat "Leicester", "Leeds United", and "Southampton", so the capital-based team will be highly motivated for success on Wednesday. "Newcastle" "Newcastle" will definitely not see the Champions League live next year. Nonetheless, "the Magpies" occupy the 6th spot in the Premier League table and can still hope for a berth in European competitions. The Black and Whites lead Manchester United only by goal difference, but the gap is astonishing: 17 versus minus one for the "Red Devils". Despite inconsistent team results throughout the season, the guests have suffered only one defeat in the last 6 rounds, with 4 victories and 1 draw. Last weekend, Eddie Howe's team didn't perform in the championship due to the rescheduling of the match because of the FA Cup semi-finals, whereas two weeks ago they claimed a convincing home victory against "Tottenham" with a score of 4:0: Alexander Isak scored a brace, and Anthony Gordon and Fabian Schr also found the net. Head-to-Head Meetings In the first half of the current campaign, "Newcastle" blew "Palace" away with a score of 4:0 at St. James' Park, thereby going six matches without a defeat against "the Eagles". "Crystal Palace" vs "Newcastle" Match Prediction Having rested after a ten-day break, "Newcastle" will appear in London as a completely different team compared to the worn-out "West Ham" from the Eurocup battles. Key Magpies players are gradually returning from injury, and the team simply cannot afford to falter - the fight for places in Europe is expected to be fierce in England. "Palace", in fact, has no real tournament tasks and is playing out the season at their own leisure. My prediction is a victory for Eddie Howe's proteges with a handicap of 0. Total Goals Prediction "Newcastle" has not conceded a single goal from "the Eagles" in the last five head-to-head matches, and certainly will want to continue this streak. My prediction is - the Eagles' individual total under 1 goal. Prediction for Corners The guests outclass their adversary and are more motivated from a tournament point of view, so they will likely monopolise the ball from the opening minutes. I bet on a triumph for the black and whites on corners. Yellow Cards Prediction Both teams are not known for excessive roughness on the field (on average, less than 2 yellow cards per game) hence, I bet on total warnings under 3.5. Score Prediction I predict the exact score to be 0:2 in favour of "Newcastle".

On Sunday, 21 April, as part of the 34th round of the Premier League, Liverpool will host Fulham. The Reds' Europa League run ended with a midweek elimination by Atalanta, while Marco Silva's charges had a full week of preparation following a 2-0 victory over West Ham. Expected Line-ups Fulham:Leno; Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassey, Robinson; Palhinha, Lukic; Iwobi, Pereira, Willian; Muniz.Liverpool:Alisson; Gomez, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Endo, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez, Jota. Fulham Rooted in the lower half of the table, Fulham are currently 12th in the Premier League and have no particular fears about the survival battle in the remaining rounds. The lack of motivation and goals has been palpable recently with Fulham going winless in three matches in April. After a 3:3 draw with bottom-placed Sheffield United, Fulham then lost to Nottingham Forest (3:1) and Newcastle (0:1). However, last weekend saw the Londoners bounce back with a 0:2 dispatch of West Ham. A brace from Andreas Pereira who first capitalised on a Dinos Mavropanos error then netted a second-half goal after Alex Iwobi's assist. Of the 42 points collected this season, 28 were garnered at home, bettered only by the top six. It has been 12 months since Fulham lost back-to-back Premier League games at Craven Cottage. Liverpool In Jurgen Klopp's final season as manager, Liverpool are keen to clinch the Premier League title and currently sit third in the table, three points adrift of pace-setters Arsenal. Last weekend saw the Merseysiders suffer an annoying fiasco against Crystal Palace losing 1:0, a surprise result that ended an eight-game unbeaten run (six wins and two draws), with Eberechi Eze scoring the only goal. Liverpool were ousted out of the quarterfinals of the Europa League, despite a 0:1 away win against Atalanta (0:3 in the first leg). Mohamed Salah's early penalty offered hope of another stunning European comeback, but the Bergamese comfortably neutralised their star-studded strike force. The Reds have now gone seven halves of football without scoring in April, which could cause some concern among the fanbase. Head to Heads Klopp's charges emerged victorious in December's Premier League match at Anfield (4:3) and a two-legged League Cup semi-final face-off (3:2) Match Prediction for Fulham v Liverpool Liverpool have gone over five hours of play since they last scored on the road. Jurgen Klopp's team have hit a slump at a crucial time of the season, as illustrated by recent slip-ups. Fulham are doing well at home and are free from any significant injury concerns - placing my bet on Fulham +1.5. Goals Prediction Only the top three PL teams can boast better home defensive records than Fulham this season, with the Cottagers averaging just a goal conceded per game. Betting on Liverpool's individual total under 2.5 goals. Corners Prediction Liverpool need to win to reduce the gap on leaders Man City. The visitors will likely control possession and dominate in corners with a -1.5 edge. Yellow Cards Prediction Only seven bookings in the four most recent head-to-head encounters between these two sides. Putting money on the total number of bookings to be under 3.5. Scoreline Prediction My bet is on a 1:1 draw.

Odds: 1.67Stake: 5/10

On Sunday, 21st April, within the framework of the English Cup semi-final, Coventry City will clash against Manchester United. On the previous round, the representative of the Championship sensationally knocked Wolverhampton out of the tournament, while the Red Devils dealt with Liverpool in extra time. Coventry City Even though Coventry is an underdog in the English Cup semi-final, there is clearly no intending to surrender without a fight. In previous rounds, the Bantams defeated Oxford United (6:2), Sheffield Wednesday (4:1 in the replay), Maidstone (5:0) and Wolverhampton (2:3) thanks to goals from Ellis Simms and Haji Wright. After being in the third division of English football, the white and blues have been dwelling in the Championship since 2020. Last season, manager Mark Robin's team was close to moving up to the EPL and is likely to fight for the play-off this season. With 4 rounds to the end of the championship, the nominal hosts occupy the eighth place in the tournament table and lag behind the sixth-place Norwich City by eight points with a game in hand. In this regard, Coventry suffered two consecutive losses in April - against Southampton (2:1) and Birmingham City (3:0) last weekend. It is noteworthy that the underdog is playing only their second English Cup semi-final in history - the previous one occurred way back in 1987 when it managed to thrash Leeds United. Midfielder Kasey Palmer picked up a yellow card in the last round at Molineux, which turned out to be his second in the tournament, resulting in him missing the Wembley duel on account of suspension - he will be replaced by Callum O'Hare. Key winger Sakamoto (7 goals and 2 assists in the championship) and midfielder Jamie Allen are also unavailable due to injuries, apart from these, the coaching staff can count on the optimal line-up. In particular, winger Wright (15 goals and 6 assists) and striker Simms (13 goals) are Coventry's main attacking assets and are likely to start. Manchester United Having last won the English Cup in 2016, Manchester United have a great chance to make it to the final in the current campaign. In previous rounds, Erik ten Hag's team defeated Wigan (0:2), Newport (2:4), Nottingham Forest (0:1) and Liverpool (4:3 after extra time) thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo, however, the Mancunians are not meeting expectations in the league. At the moment, the profound club is only 7th in the Premier League table, falling 10 points short of the European zone. What's more, in a recent seven match streak in all, the nominal guests have only won once, drew three times, and lost three times. In April, the Red Devils shared points with Liverpool (2:2) and Bournemouth last weekend (2:2). A triumph on Saturday would allow Manchester United - a 12-time English Cup winner - to set a new absolute record for reaching the tournament final (for the 22nd time). The Red and Whites will also miss several key players due to injuries. Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Lindelf, and McTominay, who are defenders, and Malesia and Martial are among them. Moreover, the physical form of centre-backs Varane and Evans is still in question. Playmaker Bruno Fernandes (8 goals and 6 assists), who has hit fine form in recent weeks, is sure to make the line-up; Garnacho (7 goals and 3 assists), Rashford (7 goals and 2 assists), and Hjlund (7 goals and 2 assists) will back the Portuguese in the attack. Dalot and Van-Bissaka are set to patrol the defensive flanks, whilst Casemiro is accountable for the reliability of the supporting area. Head-to-head In their last head-to-head match between these teams in the 2007/08 English League Cup campaign, Coventry vanquished the favourite on Old Trafford with a score of 0:2. Prediction for the Coventry City - Manchester United match Robins' charges are struck by a crisis at the most untimely part of the season, as the vivid evidence of three defeats in their last four matches. Being the Championship representative, Coventry significantly concedes to the Mancunians in class and personnel, yet, for Ten Hag's men, the English Cup is the last chance to compensate for failures in other competitions. My prediction - victory for the favourites.

On Saturday, 20th of April, as part of the FA Cup semifinals, Manchester City will host Chelsea on their home turf. Last Wednesday, the "citizens" were knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals, having lost in a penalty shootout to Madrid's Real, while the Londoners have yet to lose this spring across all tournaments. Predicted Line-ups Manchester City:Ortega; Walker, Stones, Dias, Ake; Rodri; Foden, De Bruyne, Alvarez, Doku; Haaland.Chelsea:Petrovic; Gusto, Chalobah, Silva, Chilwell; Caicedo, Fernandez; Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling; Jackson. Stadium The match will take place in London at Wembley Stadium. Manchester City The reigning FA Cup holders, Manchester City, are determined to defend their crown this year. In previous rounds of the tournament, the "citizens" bested Huddersfield (5:0), Tottenham (0:1), Luton Town (2:6) and Newcastle (2:0). However, this week brought considerable disappointment: after losing to Madrid's Real (1:2 after penalty shootout) at home, Pep Guardiola's team was eliminated from the Champions League quarter-finals. Kevin De Bruyne answered Rodrigo's early goal, while Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic failed their post-match 11-metre attempts and this despite 33 shots at the cream's goal, 68% ball possession and 18 corners. Nonetheless, the Mancunians can still count on a 4th consecutive national title, as they currently top the league table, 2 points clear of the chasing Arsenal and Liverpool. It's important to highlight that the team hasn't lost a single match in their last 17 across all competitions (13 wins and 4 draws). Chelsea Having last won the FA Cup in 2018, Chelsea will have to put in considerable effort at Wembley this Saturday if the Blues want to reach the final. In previous rounds, the Londoners outplayed Preston (4:0), Aston Villa (1:3 after overtime), Leeds (3:2) and Leicester (4:2). In the league, Mauricio Pochettino's charges are once again disappointing fans, holding only the 9th spot in the Premier League standings. However, they lag only 3 points behind the top six teams, so the prospects for reaching the European competitions are not yet lost. In the last eight matches, Chelsea did not lose once (4 wins and 4 draws) and secured a convincing 6:0 victory over crisis-ridden Everton last Monday. Cole Palmer has equalled Erling Haaland in terms of goals scored in the APL's current run (20 each) by pulling off a poker, while Nicolas Jackson and Alfie Gilchrist also struck at the Toffees' goal. It should be noted that the Blues are preparing for their 27th FA Cup semi-final only Manchester United (32) and Arsenal (30) have reached this stage more times throughout the competition's history. Head-to-Head In the league, Manchester City and Chelsea failed to determine the stronger side in the current campaign, having tied at Stamford Bridge (4:4) and later at the Etihad (1:1). Match Forecast: Manchester City vs Chelsea Chelsea's spring results and recent head-to-heads with City in the league should give Pochettino's charges confidence ahead of the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday, especially since triumph in this tournament might be the Blues' only chance to secure a ticket to the European competitions. The Citizens will be physically and emotionally drained after their Champions League exit, leading Guardiola to likely resort to squad rotation. My prediction - a handicap for the capital's grandee of 1.5. Total Goals Forecast City failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches across all competitions, whereas Chelsea have scored five times against the Citizens this season. I'm betting on the Blues' individual total over 1 goal. Corners Forecast Both teams preach an exclusively attacking style of football and will utilise their flanks, so I'm betting on the total corners over 9.5. Yellow Cards Forecast Chelsea, with all due respect, are somewhat inferior in class to their opponent and will spend more time on defence. The Blues have won by yellow cards in the last four head-to-head matches - this trend will likely continue. Score Forecast I'm betting on an exact scoreline of 1:1 in regular time.

On Saturday, 20 April, as part of the 34th round of the Premier League, Sheffield United will host Burnley at home. A mere four points separation keeps these two underdogs apart in the league table; hence, the outcome of this duel will have a key bearing on the survival stakes. Projected line-ups Sheffield United:Grbic; Holgate, Trusty, Ahmedhodzic; Osborn, Souza, Hamer, Arblaster, Larouci; McBurnie, Brereton Diaz.Burnley:Muric; Assignon, O'Shea, Esteve, Taylor; Foster, Berge, Brownhill, Cullen, Odobert; Datro Fofana. Sheffield United Sheffield United is currently languishing at the bottom of the Premier League table with a mere 16 points from 32 matches. The team seems virtually downgraded (trailing the 17th-placed Nottingham Forest by 10 points), with no wins in the last 8 rounds (3 draws, 5 losses). After managing a 2:2 draw against Chelsea before their home crowd, the team missed a golden opportunity to close the gap to the safety zone last weekend, succumbing to a 2:0 loss to Brentford. With their total of 84 goals conceded at this stage of the season, they've set a Premier League record since its inception in 1992. Unsurprisingly, the Blades hold the distinction of being the worst performing team at home in this championship, having mustered a meagre 10 points from 16 home games. Burnley Burnley, who also returned to the top flight last summer, currently occupy the 19th spot in the Premier League table and trail the 17th placed Nottingham Forest by 6 points. Hence, the club's chances of extending their stay in the Premier League are rather bleak. However, under the stewardship of Vincent Kompany, they've displayed improved form in recent weeks: having lost just one of their last six matches, with one win and four draws. Following a disheartening 1:0 loss to Everton, Burnley managed a 1:1 draw with Brighton last weekend. Ironically, the Lancastrians lost points under farcical circumstances: just five minutes after Josh Brownhill's goal, goalkeeper Arijanet Muric was unable to handle a pass from Sander Berge, and the ball rolled into the net. It is important to note that Burnley own the fourth from bottom spot in the overall league table due to their away performances: amassing only 10 points from 16 away games, scoring 16 goals, and conceding 31. Head-to-Head Meetings Kompany's team decimated their opponents in their December match at Turf Moor with a 5:0 victory, hammering the last nail into the coffin for then Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom. Prediction for Sheffield United vs Burnley Four of Burnley's last six Premier League matches have ended in draws, while Sheffield United has forced a deadlock in three of their last five encounters. Both teams are likely to practice caution from the onset as the outcome could influence their survival chances. Without a clear favourite, I'm betting on a draw. Total Goals Prediction Four of the previous, head-to-head clashes between these sides have been devoid of goals from either side. We're unlikely to witness a goal fest this time around, hence my bet is on Under 2.5 goals in total. Corner Prediction Sheffield United averages just 3.2 corners per game, while the visitors average around 4.9. It makes sense to fancy Burnley winning this particular statistic. Yellow Cards Prediction The stage is set for a real battle at Bramall Lane. In the first round match, the referee brandished 9 yellow and one red card, leading me to confidently predict Over 4.5 booking points. Exact Score Prediction My exact score prediction is a 0:0 draw.

On Saturday the 20th of April, during the 34th round of the Premier League (PL), Luton Town will play host to Brentford. Last weekend, Rob Edwards' charges were torn to shreds by Manchester City (5:1), while the 'Bees' overcame Sheffield United with little trouble, winning 2:0. Predicted Lineups Luton Town:Kaminski; Kabore, Hashioka, Burke, Doughty; Clark, Mpanzu, Barkley; Townsend, Morris, Chong.Brentford:Flekken; Zanka, Collins, Pinnock; Roerslev, Jensen, Janelt, Damsgaard, Reguilon; Mbeumo, Toney. Stadium The match will take place in Luton at the Kenilworth Road Stadium. Luton Town Occupying 18th place in the Premier League standings and lagging behind Nottingham Forest by just one point, Luton Town continues the fight to avoid relegation. The 'Hatters' are going to have to exert quite a bit of effort to achieve this, especially considering their current form leaves a lot to be desired. After 10 rounds without a win (3 draws and 7 defeats), Rob Edwards' wards managed to beat Bournemouth at home with a score of 2:1. However, last weekend, the blue and whites were comprehensively beaten by Manchester City. It is significant to note that Luton has not left the field goalless in their last 13 matches across competitions; in fact, the blue-whites have managed to find the net in their last 12 home appearances. In the remaining rounds, the hosts do not have any top opponents (arguably West Ham), which means there is a real chance to cling to the right to maintain their Premier League status. Brentford Currently, Brentford is in 15th place in the Premier League table, trailing their opponents by 7 points. With 5 rounds left to play, the London side can anticipate a relatively comfortable end to the championship, although Thomas Frank's charges have lost some steam in recent weeks. Last weekend, making the most of their home support, the white and reds overcame sinking rivals Sheffield United by 2:0, a result that allowed the hosts to break a nine-round winless streak (4 draws and 5 defeats). The 'Bees' have mustered just one point in their last 15 away matches, conceding 11 in their last four road games, and have not managed to string together two consecutive Premier League victories since November. Head-to-Head The 'Bees' have won six out of their last seven meetings against the 'Hatters', including a 3:1 victory in December's first-leg match. Match Prediction for Luton Town vs Brentford The 'Hatters' have demonstrated their ability to trouble any team on their home turf on multiple occasions throughout the current campaign. However, Luton's personnel losses are bound to affect the hosts in terms of fatigue and selection. The rejuvenated Tony will undoubtedly bring additional strength and emotion to the visitors. In the first leg, the 'Bees' experienced little difficulty against the underdogs, so I'm backing a Brentford victory with a handicap of 0. Total Prediction Luton is conceding an average of more than two goals per game this campaign, while Brentford boasts a more than competent attacking line - my bet is on the visitor's individual total over 1.5 goals. Corner Prediction Luton averages more than 5.5 corner kicks per game and, supported by their home crowd, will certainly not retreat. I predict a win for Luton in terms of corners. Yellow Cards Prediction Luton accumulates an average of only 1.8 yellow cards per game, while Brentford averages 2.4. I'm betting that the visitors will not be inferior in terms of warnings. Score Prediction My prediction is for an exact final score of 1:2 in Brentford's favour.

The English National League match between Wealdstone and Eastleigh is set to take place today. Wealdstone's current form Wealdstone put on a great performance in their last match against Chesterfield, securing a 1:0 victory thanks to a 75th-minute goal by De Silva. This win has surely boosted the team and their supporters' spirit. As it stands, Wealdstone holds the 17th position in the English National League table. For the current 2023/2024 season, they have played 44 matches, with 14 wins, 19 losses, and 11 draws. Wealdstone's goal differential is 57 scored and 69 conceded. Currently possessing 53 points, they show form with 2 wins from the last 5 matches. Chesterfield has a well-deserved top position in the league, having played 44 games and amassed 95 points, with 30 victories and 9 losses. Eastleigh's current form Eastleigh triumphed in their last game against Kidderminster Harriers with a score of 1:0. The hero of the match was McCallum, scoring the only goal on the 32nd minute. This victory has helped Eastleigh to strengthen their position in the English National League, holding the 14th position with 56 points after 44 games. The team has demonstrated consistency in their last five outings: 3 victories and one draw. Kidderminster Harriers is in the 22nd spot of the league table, posting less satisfying results than Eastleigh: 11 wins, 21 losses, and 46 points after 45 games. Match prediction Wealdstone - Eastleigh With both teams neither at risk of relegation nor able to ascend to the playoffs, there's nothing to prevent them from scoring and no great responsibility on their shoulders. I'll place my bet on Total Over (TO) 2.5 goals.

Today Oxford City will face off against the team Bromley in the English National League. Current form of Oxford City Oxford City and Oldham Athletic played out a goalless draw in their latest game. Oxford City is currently sitting at the 24th position on the National League table. They have had 44 matches this season, winning 8, losing 27, and drawing 9. The team has an overall score balance of 53:90, with a point tally of 33. The teams form in the last 5 matches includes 1 win, 1 draw. On the other hand, Oldham Athletic occupies the 10th sport on the league table, having also played 44 matches, and recording 15 wins and 12 losses with a total of 62 points. Current form of Bromley Bromley exhibited a fantastic performance in their last National League match, obliterating Solihull Moors with a scoreline of 3:0. With this confident victory, Bromley has fortified its position in third place on the table with 78 points after 44 rounds; the last 5 rounds yielding 2 wins and 2 draws. The team is gearing up for the playoff semi-finals for promotion. Match prediction: Oxford City - Bromley The hosts have already been relegated from the National League, sitting at the bottom of the table, while Bromley is comfortably at the 3rd spot. Expecting an open football match, I place the bet on total goals over 2.5 as both teams have already settled their affairs this season.

Aiming to rejoin the race for automatic promotion, Southampton will host Preston North End at St. Mary's Stadium. Over the weekend, the home side clinched a victory in a dramatic clash against Watford, scoring in the last added minute, while the visitors succumbed to Norwich City on their home turf. Southampton Not many matches to play remain in the Championship, and all the leaders seem to be dropping points. Thus, Russell Martin's squad, with two games in hand, trails Ipswich Town in first place by eight points. Leeds United, sitting in third position, is even par with the Saints in terms of lost points. The climax of the season promises to be thrilling, as Southampton still must face both Leicester and the same Peacocks in the final round. The Saints approach this match with no new losses, with Flynn Downs likely to start following his victorious goal last time out. Preston North End The visitors' tournament prospects have virtually evaporated following their defeat at the weekend, with an eight-point and one transferred match gap to the playoffs. Preston seems to be running out of steam towards the season's end, whilst the bench's length doesn't promote competitiveness. Brad Potts and Ben Whiteman miss this venture due to injuries, with Liam Millar's inclusion in the fixture in doubt. Match prediction: Southampton - Preston North End The Saints can re-enter the race, thus they'll be properly geared for this fixture. The victory over Watford will also play its part, bolstering Southampton's confidence and motivation. Squad depth allows for player rotation, reducing difficulties during a congested schedule. Southampton should secure the win confidently. Preston, in its current condition, doesn't pose a significant threat. A -1.5 handicap on the Saints appears to be the optimal decision.

Let's look at the meetings of the game day in order. "Arsenal U21" will host "Aston Villa U21" at its home stadium. "Arsenal U21" The hosts sit 6th in the English Premier League U21 standings after 17 played matches, having amassed 32 points in the process: victories - 9, draws - 5, defeats - 3. Their goal tally stands at 40, with the club conceding 26. The club has a positive goal statistic, but in the last tour, the team drew. The team's results in the last 5 matches of the championship: victories - 2, draws - 2, defeats - 1. "Aston Villa U21" The visitors stand 19th in the Premier League U21 table after 16 matches, with 19 points to their name: victories - 5, draws - 4, defeats - 7. Their goal tally stands at 33, but they've conceded 38. The club has a negative goal difference. In the last tour, they were beaten, and their form in the last five games is as follows: victories - 1, draws - 2, defeats - 2. Head to Head The face-offs over the last five meetings read as follows for the home win-draw-away win format: 2-0-3. Match prediction The hosts surprisingly failed to best a markedly weaker team in the previous round. The "Gunners" are irked by their own performance and will seek to make amends in the upcoming match. The visitors suffered a crushing defeat in the previous round without scoring. The team is also eager to make amends in this meeting. Both teams have conceded too many goals in their previous matches; thus, after rectifying their mistakes, they will aim to play tighter defensively in this game. I am tipping under on total goals.

On Monday, 15th April, as part of the 33rd round of the Premier League, Chelsea will host Everton on their home turf. The hosts currently sit in ninth place in the league, trailing by just five points from sixth-place Manchester United, while the Toffees are fighting for survival, leading the relegation zone by just two points. Predicted Lineups Chelsea:Petrovic; Gusto, T Silva, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Gallagher; Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson.Everton:Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Garner, Onana, McNeil; Doucoure; Calvert-Lewin. Chelsea Despite a quality squad, Chelsea continues to disappoint their fans, and at present, the capital team only occupies 9th place in the Premier League table, far from the club's proclaimed expectations. Qualification for the Champions League has long been unattainable, however, a ticket to the lower-ranked European cups is still a reality (one game less played and 6 points behind the sixth position). In recent weeks the Blues have been more consistent in their results, remaining unbeaten in seven of their last matches (3 wins and 4 draws). After a victory over Manchester United (4:3), Mauricio Pochettino's charges shared the points last weekend with the sinking Sheffield United (2:2): in response to goals from Thiago Silva and Madueke, the Blades responded with precise strikes from Bogle and McBurnie. The hosts' calendar is not favourable: in the coming weeks Chelsea face tough matches against Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Tottenham. Everton Everton has been under threat of dropping out for a while now due to the Football Association's deduction of 8 points for financial malpractice. The Toffees currently hold the 16th place in the Premier League table, leading Luton Town by just two points with one game in hand. Last weekend the Blues recorded an important 1:0 victory over another basement dweller, Burnley, courtesy of Calvert-Lewin's lone goal. This result put an end to a worrying 13-match winless streak (6 draws and 7 defeats). Sean Dyche's men have won five away games during the current campaign, albeit not since mid-December; in overall terms they rank tenth in away points (19 pts in 16 matches). Importantly, Everton has only scored 32 goals in the Premier League; only Sheffield United (30 goals) has a worse scoring record. Head-To-Head In the first leg, Chelsea lost to Everton with a score of 2:0, and the previous two head-to-head encounters in London ended in a draw. Match Prediction Chelsea Everton Everton could give Chelsea a run for their money on Monday as the Toffees are fighting for survival and are in dire need of points - they are only two points clear of the relegation zone. However, Chelsea has been in good form in recent weeks, remaining unbeaten in the league since early February. Given that the Liverpudlians have not been able to triumph in their last nine away matches, a sensation here seems unlikely - I'm banking on a routine victory for the favourites with the support of the home crowd. Total Prediction Chelsea has amassed 16 goals in their last five home games across all competitions, and overall this season, they have demonstrated very good productivity (averaging two goals per game). I predict that the Londoner's individual total will be over 1.5 goals. Corner Predictions Chelsea outclasses its rival and will be far more aggressive, while the visitors will rely exclusively on counterattacks. I am betting on a win for the hosts in terms of corners. Yellow Card Predictions Everton averages 2.2 yellow cards per game, while Londoners average 3. I am placing a bet on the total number of cautions being over 3.5. Score Prediction I am betting on a precise score of 2:1 in favour of Chelsea.

On Sunday, 14th April, Arsenal face Aston Villa in the 33rd round of the Premier League. The Gunners drew with Bayern Munich in the first match of the Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday. In contrast, the Birmingham side beat Lille two days later in the Conference League. Arsenal Chasing the title since their 'invincible' 2004 campaign, Arsenal are currently at the top of the table, with as many points as Liverpool. Mikel Arteta's charges seemed to drop out of the race after a series of disappointing performances in December. However, since January, the Gunners haven't suffered a single defeat in the domestic championship (10 wins and 1 draw). Following the international break in March, the red and whites managed to draw against Manchester City - 0-0 - followed by victories over Luton Town (2-0) and Brighton last weekend (0-3). This week, Arsenal drew with Bayern Munich in front of their home fans in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final (2-2): Bukayo Saka put the capital side ahead early on, but the Germans replied with goals from Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane - only substitute Trossard leveling the score. It's worth noting that Arsenal are third in points garnered on their patch: 38 in 15 home clashes with 38 goals and 13 conceded. The Londoners' squad will be lacking Dutch defender Jurrien Timber, who is out for the season with a severe injury. Otherwise, Mikel Arteta can count on an optimal lineup this Sunday; Declan Rice (6 goals and 5 assists) and Odegaard (7 goals and 6 assists) will undoubtedly appear in midfield, while the attacking line will be formed by winger Saka (14 goals and 8 assists), German Havertz (9 goals and 5 assists) and Brazilian Martinelli. Oleksandr Zinchenko replaced struggling Kiviora at half-time against Bayern, but this time it might be Takehiro Tomiyasu to be deployed on the left flank. Aston Villa Aston Villa are still battling for a Champions League spot and are currently 5th in the Premier League, having earned as many points (60) as Tottenham. Unfortunately, in recent weeks, Unai Emery's charges have not looked their best: in the last five rounds, they garnered one win, two draws, and suffered two losses. After losing 4:1 to Manchester City, the team last weekend settled for a home draw (3:3) against Brentford. Like Arsenal, the yellow-blues performed in the European competitions this week, where they barely beat Lille in the first leg of the Conference League quarter-final (2:1). Ollie Watkins clinched an early lead for the English, just before McGinn doubled the Birmingham side's advantage. However, Bafode Diakite pulled one back to keep the intrigue alive for the return match in France. Villa are fourth in aggregate points on the road: 25 in 16 away games, with 26 goals scored and 27 conceded. Like in recent weeks, Villa's roster on Sunday is marked by several notable absentees. Team captain Mings, key defender Cash, holding midfielder Kamara, and wingers Ramsey and Buendia continue to be in the treatment room. Ollie Watkins (18 goals and 10 assists) scored a brace last weekend and will undoubtedly spearhead the attack at the Emirates, backed by promising winger Rodgers (1 goal and 1 assist). The visitors' midfield will consist of McGinn (6 goals and 4 assists) and Douglas Luiz (9 goals and 5 assists), while wingers Bailey (8 goals and 8 assists) and Diabi (5 goals and 7 assists) will add creativity on the flanks. Head-to-Head The first-round fixture at Villa Park concluded in a minimal 1:0 victory for the Birmingham side, yet prior to that, the Gunners had triumphed four times in a row. Arsenal - Aston Villa match prediction Having two extra days for recovery after their European battles, Arsenal will be in far better physical condition than the guests. The Gunners - motivated by their pursuit of the championship title - simply can't afford to slip up. Otherwise, they will be trailing City by two points. Considering Villa's personnel issues and Emery's charges' recent results, it's reasonable to back a Gunners' win with a -1.5 handicap.

On Sunday, 14 April, within the framework of the 33rd round of the Premier League, Liverpool will host Crystal Palace on their home field. Following the snag at Old Trafford, the hosts dropped the championship palm to Arsenal due to the difference in scored and missed goals, while the guests are 14th in the overall standings and have not known victories for five matches in a row. Liverpool Liverpool are in 2nd place in the Premier League, catching up with Arsenal in the title race. The Merseysiders have not been defeated in the national championship since they were beaten 3:1 at the Emirates in early February, completing eight rounds without a defeat (6 wins and 2 draws). After victories over Brighton (2:1) and Sheffield United (3:1), Jurgen Klopp's charges drew with Manchester United last weekend, despite dominating in the first half in every parameter (2:2). Luis Dias put the favourites ahead, but Bruno Fernandes and Kobi Mainu turned the course of the match around before Mohamed Salah restored parity on the scoreboard with a penalty six minutes from the end. However, the hosts suffered a real fiasco this week, losing heavily at Anfield in the quarterfinals of the Europa League against Atalanta from Bergamo for the first time this campaign (0:3). It's important to note that Liverpool is the absolute best Premier League team at home: 42 points in 16 home games, 43 goals scored, 14 conceded. Main goalkeeper Alisson and right-back Alexander-Arnold returned to the squad after injury issues, which is not the case with Matip, Thiago Alcantara and Bayer. In addition, Portuguese winger Diogo Jota has recovered from injury. Mo Salah (17 goals and 9 assists) and Luis Dias (8 goals and 4 assists) both scored against Manchester United and are probably going to form a trio in the attack with Darwin Nunes (11 goals and 8 assists). Frenchman Konate may return to the starting lineup with van Dijk, replacing young Kwans, who made a gross mistake at Old Trafford. Crystal Palace Crystal Palace are 14th in the Premier League, with one game in hand and a five-point gap from the relegation zone. The London club needs to maintain vigilance in the final stages to avoid a survival battle, especially given that the current dynamics aren't impressing fans. In the last 9 rounds, Olivier Glasner's charges have only beaten crisis-ridden Burnley (3:0), tied three times and lost 5 times. After drawing with Nottingham Forest (1:1), the Eagles lost to Bournemouth (1:0) and Manchester City last weekend (2:4). Having taken an early lead with a goal from Mateta, the Londoners failed to hold the advantage: Kevin De Bruyne got a brace, while Rico Lewis and Erling Holland scored one goal each. It's worth noting that Palace are 14th overall for points earned on the road this campaign with just 14 in 16 meetings. The Eagles' squad still lacks Johnstone (goalkeeper), Richards and Guehi (defenders), Cheik Doucoure (midfielder), Holding (defender), and young midfielder Mateus Franca - all injured. Midfielder Raciakyi is on the brink of returning to the main group, but is unlikely to recover for this round. Last weekend, Mateta (7 goals and 4 assists) netted against City, as did Frenchman Edward (7 goals), boosting their chances of starting this time. Winger Olise (6 goals and 3 assists) returned last round and will also be orchestrating the tricolour attacks. Head to Head In the first round, Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 2:1, however, the previous two head-to-head meetings between the teams ended in a draw. Prediction for Liverpool Crystal Palace match Liverpool are in the thick of the race for the championship title and simply cannot afford to stumble at home against a crisis-ridden middle-of-the-league team. In addition, the hosts are motivated to make amends to the fans for the Europa League fiasco last Thursday. Palace have basically lost all motivation and are simply playing out the season for their own pleasure I forecast victory for the Reds with a handicap -1.5.

England - Premier League

West Ham United

The match is over

Odds: 3.65Stake: 5/10

On Sunday, the 14th of April, as part of the 33rd round of the Premier League, West Ham will host Fulham at their home ground. "The Cottagers" have settled at the 13th spot in the league table and are no longer competing for anything in the remaining matches, while the hosts still have a decent chance of finishing in a European slot. Probable Line-ups West Ham:Fabianski; Coufal, Mavropanos, Zouma, Emerson; Alvarez, Soucek; Kudus, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta; Antonio.Fulham:Leno; Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassey, Robinson; Palhinha, Cairney; Iwobi, Pereira, Willian; Muniz. West Ham Sitting 7th in the Premier League table with a game in hand and trailing the top six by just a point, West Ham is hoping to secure European football. In recent weeks, the Hammers have been impressive: in their last seven matches they've lost just once, winning three times and drawing thrice. After a 4:3 defeat to Newcastle, David Moyes' team clinched a draw with Tottenham (1:1), and then secured a 2:1 victory against Wolverhampton last weekend. Pablo Sarabia put the visitors ahead in the 33rd minute, but Paqueta and Ward-Prowse turned the tables in the second half. It's worth noting that West Ham has been struggling at home in the current Premier League campaign: with just 25 points from 16 home matches, this record makes them the 11th best in the division, scoring 26 and conceding 23. Fulham Currently sitting at the 13th place in the Premier League with 39 points, Fulham is no longer targeting anything in the remaining fixtures as the season is nearing its end. Prior to the international break in March, the London side made quite an impression, thrashing Tottenham 3:0. However, since then, Marco Silva's team hasn't performed that well, drawing with bottom-placed Sheffield United (3:3), then successively losing to Nottingham Forest (3:1) and Newcastle last weekend (0:1). The only goal by Bruno Guimaraes in the 81st minute decided the latter game. It's vital to note that Fulham has conceded three goals in each of their last two away matches and gathered merely 11 points in 16 away games, which is the fifth-worst record in the division. The club's coaching staff can count on an optimal squad for this match. Head-to-Head Fulham trashed West Ham 5:0 in the first leg, but before this they had failed to defeat the Hammers in nine consecutive head-to-head matches! Prediction for the West Ham vs Fulham match Considering the teams' inconsistency in their performances, predicting the outcome of this match is difficult. David Moyes will need to make changes to his starting line-up with the upcoming second leg against Bayer in mind, while the "Cottagers" have been dreadful on the road and last won against West Ham away back in 2004. My prediction is a draw. Total Prediction Both sides possess quality in attack and are, on average, scoring 1.5 goals per game this season. My prediction is "both teams to score". Corner Forecast Boosted by the home support, West Ham will dominate possession and be the more aggressive side in attack, thus, the corner victory goes to the Hammers. Yellow Cards Forecast Both teams earn, on average, 2.2 yellow cards per game, therefore, confidently bet on over 3.5 total bookings. Score Prediction I predict a 1:1 final score.
