Juventus vs Real Madrid

2016/17 UEFA Champions League Final

Date: Saturday, 3rd June 2017

Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET

Venue: Millennium Stadium, Cardiff (Wales).

Since the reincarnation of Europe's top competition in 1993, no team has ever managed to win the trophy in consecutive years, with AC Milan the last team to do so in 1989 and 1990 when the it was the European Cup.

Zinedine Zidane's men won their 11th European trophy - their fifth Champions League - when they beat Atletico Madrid last season and victory against Juventus in Cardiff will see them make history by defending their title.

Speaking before the game, Zidane was confident that his side were prepared for the final, saying: "We're very happy to be in the final. We know how difficult it is to get there and we've worked very well during the year. We deserve to be in the final and the team is going in to it in very good physical shape and we're confident."

Juventus last won the competition in 2006 under Marcello Lippi and have been beaten on their past four appearances in the final including a 2015 loss to Barcelona.

The Serie A champions could also become the ninth team to achieve the treble of league, domestic cup and European titles and only the second Italian club in history to do so after Inter Milan in the 2009/10 season.

When asked about Juventus' history in Champions League finals, manager Massimiliano Allegri said: "Juventus haven't lost six finals, we've been involved in eight! Making the final is incredible.

"There's only one Champions League like there's only one Superbowl and what matters is being in the right place at the right time. I'm delighted to be in the final and I feel fortunate to be leading a team out in Cardiff on Saturday."

Juventus vs Real Madrid: Head-to-head

This is the 19th meeting between the two clubs and there is little to separate as they share 8 wins and 2 draws each. However, Juventus are unbeaten in the latest three with a pair of wins and draw. Also, both teams have scored in 8 of their last 10 meetings.

Madrid won 1-0 in their lone meeting in a Champions League final. Predrag Mijatovic was the scorer in the 66th minute of the game at Amsterdam in 1998.

Juventus vs Real Madrid: Prediction

Without a doubt, this is a clash between the best defense and best offense. Juve have already shown what they are capable of by shutting out the free scoring Barcelona at Camp Nou. But one must be vary of Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored in all of his four previous meetings against the Italians. It will be hard for the Old Lady to keep things in control over the 90 minutes of play.

This will bring us to our first tip, which is both teams to score. It could be a banker after 8 of the last 10 meetings between the two saw the same.

Bookies made Real Madrid slight favourites to win this one and we are also going by the same opinion. But Juve cannot be ruled out from this game at any point and we firmly believe there is a higher chance for this game to extend to the extra time and probably the penalties.

Kick-Off at 20:05 UK

Venue: Stade Maurice Dufrasne, Liege.

Standard Liege vs Ajax match is going to be held on 8th December at Stade Maurice Dufrasne. It’s an important football clash between Belgium and Netherlands football clubs where it’s a must win game for Standard Liege to make confirm their progress into next knockout round of UEFA Europa League. Standard Liege registered a 4-1 home win against Zulte-Waregem and Ajax registered a 2-0 home win against Groningen in their previous league matches.

At the moment, Standard Liege has performed medium with 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat in a row along with 2nd position in Group – G of UEFA Europa League 2016/17. In other side Ajax has performed well with 4 wins, 1 draw along with top position in Europa League group table. Standard Liege will start the match as favourite against Ajax in their crucial home fixture of UEFA Europa League at Stade Maurice Dufrasne.

Standard Liege vs Ajax: Head-to-head stats

Ajax defeated Standard Liege by a solitary goal when the teams met on matchday 2 of the competition this season. This is the lone meeting between the two sides in a UEFA tournament.

Standard Liege has a poor record against teams from Dutch Eredivisie. They managed only 1 win from 7 encounters, while they drew 2 and lost 4. The record at home is 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss from three matches.

Ajax have a good record against teams from Belgium after winning in 9 of the 15 meetings so far, while they drew 2 and lost 4. Their record while playing in Belgium from 7 matches is 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.

Standard Liege vs Ajax: Prediction

Standard Liege are unbeaten at home in the group stage matches this season, but both are draws. Ajax is a far superior opponent than Celta Vigo and Panathinaikos. Since the Dutch side has already secured the top spot in the group, it is very likely that they come here without their key players. This could play straight into the hands of the hosts who are desperate for a win with a healthy margin.

Over 2.5 goals at 1/1 (2.00).

Mainz vs Qabala Match Prediction & Betting Tips

 

Mainz vs Gabala
UEFA Europa League – Matchday 6
Date: Thursday, 8th December 2016,
Kick-Off at 18:00 UK
Venue: Coface Arena, Mainz.

 

Mainz and FK Gabala are already out of the competition, they will be playing for pride when they meet at Mainz Arena on Thursday night.

Mainz 05 are among the Europa League group stage debutants this season. They are 3rd with 6 points in a group that also features Anderlecht and Saint Etienne. They are 3 points behind Saint Etienne and also down on away goals against Saint Etienne. However, the reverse of this fixture was won by Mainz 05 as they defeated Gabala 3-2.

Gabala have been poor throughout the group stage, having lost all their five games so far. They are on the bottom of the table with zero points from 5 games. They are the only side to lose all their five group games this season and may lose all 6 group games. It might interest you that Gabala have never won a Europa League group in their entire 11 attempts.

Mainz Predicted Starting Line-up

Missing Players

Emil Berggreen will not return in 2016 due to his knee injury, while Yoshinori Muto and Christian Clemens will need to pass late fitness tests.

Key Man

Talented 24-year-old Yunus Malli is a real gem for Mainz with his creative play in the final third; he will need to be on song here.

Team Form

They may only have lost one of their five Europa League matches to date, but unfortunately three draws means that they can’t catch St Etienne in second even if the French side lost at Anderlecht. 

Expected Line-Up - 4-5-1

Qabala Predicted Starting Line-up

Missing Players

Rashad Eyyubov is suspended and will definitely miss out, with a handful of his teammates nursing knocks and niggles.  

Key Man

Bagaliy Dabo has scored seven goals in eight appearances this term; the Frenchman can be lethal in front of goal.

Team Form

Not great, would be an apt description of Qabala’s form.  Five losses in five Europa League matches – albeit none of those absolute hammerings – set the scene, while dropped points in the none-too-prestigious Azerbaijan Premier League to AZAL and Qarabag are an insight into their struggles.

Expected Line-Up - 4-5-1

Mainz vs Qabala Head-to-Head Stats

The only prior meeting between these two teams came in September’s sneak preview for this clash, which Mainz won 3-2.

Tottenham vs Monaco Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview UEFA Champions League – Group E

UEFA Champions League – Group E

Date: Wednesday, 14th September, 2016,

Kick-Off: 19:45 UK,

Venue: Wembley.

 Tottenham

Tottenham have shown a bit of inconsistent form so far this season but nevertheless they aren’t losing games. 1-1 draws away at both Everton and Liverpool are where Spurs have dropped points so far this campaign but are both respected results. However, preparation for this one couldn’t of gone better with a 4-0 win away at Stoke over the weekend so confidence should be high in the Spurs camp.

Monaco

Monaco have really impressed most since this season winning five of the last five including a Ligue 1 win over French champions PSG. Monaco will have bad memories of playing in London as Spurs humiliated them 5-1 just before Christmas last year in the Europa League. They look a different outfit this time around and it shouldn’t be so easy for Spurs this time.

Tottenham vs Monaco Predictions

Both teams look like they will be confident heading into this one on Wednesday after some impressive results of late. They are both scoring plenty of goals and I think that both teams to score will be a good shout here. Spurs at home will always be promising to score and Monaco in the form that they are in, mixed with revenge of last seasons clash makes me like the look of BTTS. 

Both teams have made a great start to the new season, they have kept a good record so far. Have won 3 of their 4 league games and drawn 1, while Spurs have won 2 and drawn 2 of their league games. Both teams also have a good scoring record this season which will make this fixture a tough one.
Tottenham are a great team with good quality, but Monaco’s recent form shows how hard the game will be for Spurs. The game will likely end in draw, but considering the defense of both teams, I count on Tottenham to win the game.

Tottenham haven’t played in Europe’s best competition for 5 years, they reached the quarterfinals in 2010/2011 season. Now they are drawn in group E alongside Bayer Leverkusen, Monaco and CSKA Moscow. Spurs have been good so far this season, they are unbeaten since the beginning of the season with 2 draws and 2 wins. They tore Stoke City apart on Saturday, with a 0-4 away win. They are hopeful of getting to the knockout stages again in this season’s Champions League competition.

Monaco defeated Fenerbahce and Villarreal in the 3rd qualifying round and playoff round respectively to get to this stage. They are currently top of the Ligue 1 table with 10 points, also they have been unbeaten since the beginning of this season. They did well to grab another win on Saturday, they defeated 0-4 Lille on the road. They will be hoping to carry their good form into the Champions League as they travel to London.

Tottenham vs Monaco: Head to Head Statistics
Both teams have played 3 times in the past, a club friendly in 2013 and two legged game in the Europa League last year. Both teams have won 1 game each against each other and drawn once.


Tottenham vs Monaco: Betting Tips
Both Teams to Score at 1.90 (10/11).

Team news & predicted starting line-ups for Man City vs West Ham

Claudio Bravo is not expected to take over in goal until the Manchester derby, so Wily Caballero is favourite to don the gloves again this weekend, with Joe Hart seemingly on his way out of the club following his farewell appearance against Steau.

Pep Guardiola is likely to stick with a 4-1-4-1 and the main selection questions again revolve around the full-back positions.

Man City fantasy player to watch

Nolito scored twice in a 21 minute cameo appearance at the Bet365 Stadium last week. That should be enough to ensure he starts at the Etihad this weekend, at the expense of Jesús Navas.

With Sergio Agüero in fine goal-scoring form and City having a high goals expectancy again this weekend, Nolito looks more than capable of racking up a decent fantasy score.
Man City team news

Pablo Zabaleta is expected to be included again at right-back as Bacary Sagna recovers from a hamstring injury. Gaël Clichy could miss out at left-back unless Guardiola decides to experiment with Aleksandr Kolarov at centre-back again.

Vincent Kompany is still injured, while this game is likely to come too soon for Leroy Sané and İlkay Gündoğan.
Predicted starting line-up for Man City (4-1-4-1)

West Ham fantasy player to watch

West Ham scored 65 goals last season, a figure that was only bettered by three Premier League clubs. However, no player managed to get into double figures so it’s obvious they are crying out for a clinical finisher.

New arrival Jonathan Calleri could lead the line against City and he looks one to keep an eye on.

West Ham team news

Crashing out of Europe might not be a bad thing for a Hammers side that has been rocked by an early season injury crisis.

Andy Carroll is the latest high-profile player to be side-lined, while Mark Noble, Håvard Nordtveit, Manuel Lanzini and Dimitri Payet are all touch and go for the game at the Etihad.

André Ayew, Aaron Cresswell, Sofiane Feghouli and Diafra Sakho are all absent again.

Slaven Bilić could set his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation initially but he may mix things up throughout the game, in an attempt to get the better of Guardiola.
Predicted starting line-up for West Ham (4-2-3-1)

Prediction

    Manchester City and West Ham will be face to face this Sunday at 16:00 in Premier League Round 3 in a very unbalanced and interesting match which promise a lot of surprises.
    Manchester City will try to lead this match and attack their opponents from the outset, the team is in a very good shape and have all the chances to the victory.
    Manchester City comes after a 1-0 victory with Steaua Bucharest in Champions League, they won their last four matches in all competitions, last round in Premier League they defeat 4-1 Stoke City.
    West Ham comes after a 1-0 defeat in Europa League with Astra Giurgiu and a 1-0 victory in Premier League with Bournemouth. The match will be a very unbalanced one from the outset, we expect Manchester City to lead this competition and put a lot of pressure on their opponents from the outset. The last head to head match between the two teams was in January this year and the result was: 2-2.
    Manchester City won seven of their last eight home matches against West Ham.

Eintracht Trier  VS  Borussia Dortmund Livescore Odds Comparison
Germany Cup---Match Time：8/23/2016 02:45 Tuesday GMT+8

Eintracht Trier and Borussia Dortmund meet at Moselstadion, in a match for this stage of the DFB Pokal (1st Round). These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Borussia Dortmund presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis of Eintracht Trier
The home team plays its first match in this edition of the DFB Pokal with the intention of using the home advantage to get a positive result. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Regionalliga, they got an away loss against Kaiserslautern II by (3‑1). In the last 10 home matches Eintracht Trier has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4.

Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.

In this match for the DFB Pokal, Eintracht Trier will play at home, but they’ll match one of the best teams of the First German Division. It’s important to observe the performance of the team in the last ten matches played at home in the competitions that disputes, on which they have an average of 1.20 goals scored and 1 goal conceded per match, that is, the show a better defensive performance in these conditions. Note that for their championship, that is, Regionalliga 2016/17, in addition to the team to be positioned in eighteenth, at home and before the two played matches, they didn’t conquer victories, thus demonstrating their fragility at home.

Analysis of Borussia Dortmund
The team plays its first match in this edition of the DFB Pokal with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 33 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 14 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got an away win against Sandhausen by (0‑3). In the last 10 away matches Borussia Dortmund has won 6 and lost 4.

Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 25 of the last 38 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In the last 4 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

In this match for the DFB Pokal, though playing away home, they’ll match an opponent who is running a lower division. It’s important to note that in the last ten matches played as a visiting team for the competitions that disputes, Borussia Dortmund had an average of 2.30 goals scored and 0.90 goals conceded per match, demonstrating that both their offensive and defensive sector as worked as a visiting team.
As the Bundesliga hasn’t already started, we point out that playing away home Borussia comes after two consecutive victories, by 1-4 against Manchester United for the International Champions Cup, and in their last played match another victory, this time against Sandhausen in a friendly match, on which they beat this opponent by 0-3.
