Preview
Wenger rested most of his key players, which resulted in a loss to Blackburn for the FA Cup. Despite dropping out of the cup, Arsenal should risk in this game and will not cheat to its attractive and offensive football, which practices most often. A good result as a host is the only chance for Arsenal, considering the great shape of Bayern in Germany. Moreover Bayern arrives in England with some serious squad problems - Boateng, Badstuber and Pizarro miss the meeting. Arsenal should make the best out of the home court advantage and Bayern problems with missing key players, if the team wants to go through to the next round.
The statistics show that Inter plays very successfully against Fiorentina being unbeaten in the last 15 games against this rival in all competitions. In Serie A Inter have lost only twice to Fiorentina from 2001 until now and has won 15 matches. Fiorentina, however, is quite a strong host this season as the team hasn`t lost in 15 of its last 16 home games. Inter and Fiorentina occupy the fifth and the sixth place in the standings and this match is a direct clash for participating in the European tournaments.
Juventus deservedly tops the Serie A standings showing a great and effective football. Even as guests the players of Juventus perform to an extremely high level as the team has won 13 of their last 16 away games in the league. During the week Juventus managed an astonishing win with 0-3 in the visit to Celtic in a match of the Champions League. It seems that "The old lady" makes an absolutely successful season.
The team of Liverpool has a very difficult visit to Russia. Brendan Rodgers's players will have to give the best of themselves, if they want to continue to the next round in the tournament. As for the matches of English clubs in the Europa League, the teams certainly do not seem to be very motivated and often frustrate their supporters with poor performance. Liverpool, however, is a team with great traditions in the European competitions and it is unlikely that they will approach lightly in this meeting.
For the first time since Rolando moved to Real, he will be able to play against his former club. The 1/8 finals of the Champions League offer a clash between these giants in football and no doubt we are in for a spectacular game. The attention will be directed to Ronaldo, who warmed up with a hat-trick against Sevilla at the weekend. Sir Alex Ferguson, however, knows the player better than anyone else and it is certain that he is prepared for Ronaldo.
The impetuous Celtic players, along with the support of their loyal fans, can defeat any opponent at home. Even Barcelona was devastated at Celtic Park in a match of the group stage of the Champions League. Definitely Celtic is a team that can compete with the best in Europe and for Juventus this visit is going to be quite difficult. The italians will certainly be well prepared for this game and might approach more cautiously having analyzed the high class game that the Scots showed in the group stage of the tournament.
The most exciting matches of the Champions League start this Tuesday featuring the top teams in Europe. The french team of PSG is visiting Valencia in what appears to be a thrilling game. For the guests the key figure is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The team`s performance is largely dependent on the form of Ibrahimovic. When he playes at a high level, as he usually does, PSG achieves very good results. The hopes of the ambitious Frenchmen are nourished by this extraordinary footballer. However, it should be noted that Ibrahimovic does not show his full potential in the matches of the European competitions. While playing for Inter, Milan or Barcelona Ibrahimovic did not demonstrate at best his high level of play that he sustained at the domestic leagues. Undoubtedly, the main problems for Valencia will come from Ibrahimovic, who has scored the impressive 21 goals for PSG and is definitely in great shape.
Undoubtedly, the match between Tottenham and Newcastle is going to be spectacular. Both teams have very strong attacking players and definitely perform attractive football. For the first time this season the guests of Newcastle will get into a game with a little more confidence, having achieved two important wins in a row, which moved them away from the relegation zone. The come back agains Chelsea last weekend was really impressive and fully deserved. Bearing in mind the last two matches of Newcastle we can assume that they have in front of them better results. However, the visit to London will be extremely difficult for "The Magpies".
The most interesting match in the quarterfinals of the African Cup of Nations meets the double winner of the cup - Nigeria against the considered lately the strongest African team - Ivory Coast. Despite the opinion of experts and fans Ivory Coast team has won the Cup only once, back in 1992 and the big expectations will definitely get some extra pressure on them.
In the last two seasons of the Bundesliga Hannover finishes a few places ahead to Werder Bremen in the standings. This year, for the moment, Hanover again leads with 4 points to Werder and has a real opportunity to qualify for the European tournaments. This match will largely decide which of these two teams will have the opportunity to make a final push to get in the first six places in the table. This home match for Werder is a great opportunity for the team to gain some valuable points and to settle in the first half of the table.
Once again the whole world is awaiting the spectacle "El Clasico". We are just a few hours away from the start of this great derby that opposes probably the two best teams in the world. Beauty, elegance, and perfection in the football game can be seen only in "El Clasico". The outcome of this match is always difficult to predict, but a thorough analysis of the facts is definitely a great help in preparing the football prediction for Real Madrid - Barcelona.
The extremely tight matches between Arsenal and Liverpool continue in a match of round 24 of the Premier League. The games between these two teams are rarely decided by difference of more than 1 goal and it is likely this tradition will be retained and once again we will enjoy a great derby. This meeting is very important for both teams, because they are located next to each other in the standings and are direct competitors in the fight for the European competitions. If an away win occurs, Liverpool will catch up their opponent on points.
AC Milan started the season terribly, but recently the team began to gain points and to close to the top 5 in the table. Qualifying for the the European competitions is mandatory for the "Rossoneri" and from here to the
end of the season, they need to accumulate more points in their away games. Qualifying for the Europa League seems relatively achievable for AC Milan, but the competition is fierce, and no doubt the team will do everything possible to win the match against Atalanta.
The team of Bayern Munich is in astonishing form and with its brilliant performance so far this season, Bayern quite deservedly occupies the leading position in the standings. The team plays efficiently in its away games having won 9 of the last 10 visits in the Bundesliga. Moreover, Bayern Munich has not conceded a goal in 7 of their last 8 away games in the league. The statistics for the matches against Stuttgart are also quite impressive - 7 wins in the last 7 matches against Stuttgart in all competitions as Bayern scored at least two goals in each of those games.
The match of 21. round in the Spanish Primera Division will be a clash between two teams located on opposite coasts of the Iberian peninsula, about 1,000 kilometers away from each other, on the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.
Borussia Dortmund started the second half of the season with an astonishing away win with 0:5 against Werder Bremen. Although the team is 12 points behind the leader Bayern, no doubt they will try to win it all for the rest of the season in order to worthy defend the title from last year. In turn, the team of Nürnberg has a totally different ambition, which is to stay in the league. The guests occupy the 15th position in the standings, while the relegation zone is formed by the 16th, 17th and 18th place.
After two consecutive losses against Manchester City and Chelsea, Arsenal players are facing a relatively easy task. The city rivals of West Ham arrive at the Emirates. They have only one
win from their last seven league games. The hosts will undoubtedly storm the "Hammers" in pursuing the mandatory for them three points. On the other hand, in the pursuit of the draw, the guests
may try to close the spaces and make it difficult for the fast players of Arsenal.
Only one point separates Swansea City and Stoke City in the standings as they currently occupy the 9th and the 10th place. This match will largely decide which of these two teams will make a final push to qualify for the European tournaments. An interesting fact is that there is no draws in the meetings between these two teams in the Premier League as primarily the home team wins the match. Quite likely this trend will continue, given that Stoke hasn`t got a single win in 19 of their last 20 games as a guest in the league.
The team of Wigan shows a decent football, but often fails to take full advantage of opportunities in front of goal. That is why the hosts in this match are located in the
relegation zone with a total of 19 points. Aston Villa is also with 19 points, but Wigan has a better goal difference and occupies the 17th position in the standings. Last round Wigan players performed at a very
high level in the visit at Craven Cottage and with a little more luck they could have gained the three points.
As you can see from the new functionality of the prediction page, the team of Reading has a long trip ahead of them to northern England. Certainly the players
of Reading do not perform well in their away games as they have lost their last 6 of them and so far throughout the season they haven`t got an away win in the Premier League. This game is a good opportunity for
Newcastle to win three points and gain some confidence.
