Football Predictions Tuesday

Osasuna v Mallorca

Mallorca will travel to the Estadio El Sadar on Tuesday night to face Osasuna in La Liga.

Osasuna had already secured their safety in La Liga but will feel a little disappointed after their last outing, they hadn’t picked up any points in their last four games before heading to face Athletic Club on Saturday night and a point would have been welcomed before kick-off, however given Los Rojillos were just seconds away from taking on all three points before a 96th minute equaliser, they would have left Bilbao a little deflated, now winless in their last five matches. 

Mallorca took a huge step towards La Liga safety on Saturday, a home victory against Las Palmas looks to have extended their stay in to the Spanish top-flight to four consecutive years. It’s not done and dusted just yet for the Pirates but depending on how Cadiz get on away to Sevilla, a win here could be enough to confirm the inevitable. 

Mallorca have won just once on the road in La Liga this season, whilst they’ve recorded a second highest number of draws away from home (7), only Getafe have more (8). These two sides met in a 3-2 thriller back in December, although another game like that seems unlikely, given Mallorca games average the lowest in the league this season, just 1.9 goals per game.

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City

All eyes will be on North London come Tuesday night, as Manchester City look to put themselves back on top of the Premier League, as they take on Tottenham Hotspur. 

This is a strange game for Tottenham fans, given they are still in the hunt for Champions League football (depending on Aston Villa’s result v Liverpool), but there’s been a few Spurs fans that have been vocal this week about this game, suggesting a loss here wouldn’t be too bad as it would likely stop their bitter rivals Arsenal from winning the Premier League. However, I’m sure manager Ange Postecoglou doesn’t hold the same view and will be looking for a win here against the current champions. 

It’s all going to plan for Pep Guardiola and his side, they picked up another three points on Saturday and without any issues, a 3-0 victory over Fulham in London has kept Man City in the driving seat as they look to make it a Premier League record of four titles on the bounce. However, there will be a few of the Man City faithful that will be a little worried about this one, given their struggles at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, they’ve played here four times in the league so far, not only have they lost all four, they’ve also failed to score in all four. They did meet here in the FA Cup back in January, it took a late Nathan Ake goal to seal it for City.

Tottenham lead the Premier League table for producing both teams to score at home this season, they’ve seen both teams hit the back of the net in sixteen of their eighteen games in North London (89%), it’ll be fifteen games on the bounce if both teams do the same here. I also like the look of Cristian Romero to be carded, the Argentine has picked up a yellow in 3/4 games against Man City.

Real Madrid v Alaves

La Liga champions look to extend their unbeaten streak to twenty-three games as they welcome Alaves to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night in La Liga.

After already claiming the title and securing their place in the Champions League final just a week ago, Los Blancos showed no signs of slowing down as they brushed aside Granada on Saturday, scoring four goals without reply. With just three games left to play in the league, Madrid will be looking to continue their fine form and they could finish the season with their highest points tally since 2012, they need just four points to do so.

With three wins and one draw in their last four games, Alaves have climbed well away from the bottom three after looking in danger of relegation before those games. El Glorioso have timed their good run of form perfectly and they’ll be hoping to continue this streak and secure their first top half finish in La Liga since 2017, as they sit just one point behind Getafe who occupy that tenth place. 

Real Madrid still remain unbeaten at home in the league this season, they managed to pick up forty-seven points from a possible fifty-one, whilst conceding just nine goals along the way, it’s been impressive from Ancelotti’s side. I think we’ll see a comfortable Real Madrid win here, Alaves have managed to score just twelve goals on the road, whilst Madrid have won four of the last seven meetings between these two at the Bernabeu by the same scoreline, 3-0. 

Girona v Villarreal

Villarreal will travel to the Estadio Municipal de Montilivi on Tuesday evening to take on Girona in La Liga.

There’s no denying that the biggest surprise package in La Liga this season has been Girona and they’ve now been rewarded for their unbelievable campaign by securing their first ever Champions League spot for next season with three games left to spare. They’ll be looking to finish the season in second as they go head-to-head for that runner’s up spot with Barcelona, Girona held the advantage but they might have just given that up after conceding in the 99th minute last time out to Alaves, seeing the game end in a 2-2 draw.

Villarreal treated us to another thriller on Saturday, their last two fixtures have both produced 3-2 scoreline’s, with the Yellow Submarine being on either side of the result. It would take a minor miracle for Villarreal to finish within the top seven place, resulting in no European football next season but they’ll be looking to finish the season as strong as they can, we all know that football can be a funny old game.

I think we can expect another game full of goals here, the last three home games for Girona have produced at least five goals, whilst Villarreal head into this game with 82% of their away games (a league high) producing both teams to score, they’ve also won their last five away games at Girona, although they did lose in the reverse fixture.

Football Predictions Wednesday

Sevilla v Cadiz CF

Cadiz look to keep their survival hopes alive as they make the trip to Sevilla on Wednesday night.

After putting together an unbeaten run in their last five games, Sevilla left Villarreal with a lot of frustration on Saturday after they conceded a 97th minute goal which resulted in a defeat for Los Nervionenses. With just three games left to play, European football had been out of reach for Sevilla for a while now but they’ll be hoping to bounce back and try to finish their campaign in the top of half, depending on results elsewhere, they could put themselves into the top ten with a victory here.

Cadiz are not going down without a fight, their 1-0 victory over Getafe in their last outing has left the Yellow Submarine five points from safety with just three games remaining, it feels like it’s all a little too late for Cadiz and they are very much looking for other teams to drop points whilst winning games of their own. There’s no doubting that their fourteen draws (joint league high) have really cost them and their four-year stint in the Spanish top-flight looks to be coming to an end. 

Sevilla have won four of their last five home games, whilst Cadiz are still yet to pick up a victory on the road, I think we’ll see a home victory in this one.

Brighton & Hove Albion v Chelsea

Chelsea travel to the south coast on Wednesday night as they take on Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League. 

Brighton have just started to produce the results that they managed to produce earlier in the season, with a victory at home to Aston Villa which was then followed up with a point away to Newcastle on Saturday, it’s too late for the Seagulls to get themselves another shot in a European competition but Roberto de Zerbi will be hoping his side can finish the season strongly and secure a top-half finish.

Chelsea have given themselves a real chance at securing a top six spot and qualification for next season’s Europa Conference League, they’ve won their last three games including a late turn around in their last outing away to Nottingham Forest, they now sit in seventh and only behind Newcastle United on goal difference, with the Magpies still needing to face fellow top six challengers Manchester United, this could all work in Chelsea’s favour and a victory here could be pivotal.

Five of the last six competitive meetings between these two sides have produced both teams to score, whilst we’ve been treated to the same outcome in the last five Premier League head-to-head games on the south coast, I think we’ll see the same here but it’s hard to split the two, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a draw in this game.

Manchester United v Newcastle United

Two sides battling for a place in next season’s Europa Conference League come head-to-head on Wednesday night at Old Trafford as Manchester United welcome Newcastle United in the Premier League. 

Manchester United look to be down to their bare bones in terms of players that are fit, whilst their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday wasn’t the only story after the match, with heavy rain flooding the away dressing room and created a waterfall with the leaky roofs at Old Trafford, something that sums up the Glazers reign in Manchester. Despite their major injury issues and general issues with the club as a whole, the Red Devils still find themselves in with a chance of securing a top six finish, although it would require results elsewhere to go in their favour, whilst making sure they win their last games. A defeat here would set an unwanted all-time club record for United, ten home losses in a single season across all competitions. 

Newcastle United occupy that sixth spot in the Premier League, ahead of Chelsea on goal difference, the Magpies could have had more comfort had they found a winner in their last outing against Brighton but they know at least a draw here would take Manchester United out of the top six race due to their superior goal difference. The Toon Army have lost just once in their last eight games, they are really ending the season strongly after a slight blip towards Christmas time.

You just don’t know what Manchester United side are going to turn up, Newcastle are looking for their fourth consecutive victory over the Red Devils, they beat Man United 3-0 in an EFL fixture here back in November, they’d love something like that again here.

Nice v Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain will make the trip to the Allianz Riviera to face Nice in this Ligue 1 clash.

Nice have put together a good run of form heading towards the end of the season with three wins in their last four games, the Eaglets are on their way to securing Europa League football for next season but a victory here would put them just one point behind Brest and Lille in those Champions League spots, with it all to play for in the final game of the season.

It’s been a week where Kylian Mbappe confirmed what we already knew, the French striker will be leaving PSG in the summer, with Real Madrid being the likely destination. His farewell game at the Parc des Princes didn’t go exactly to plan, the Parisians suffered just their second home league defeat of the season against a midtable Toulouse side, PSG know they can’t be thinking about the beach just yet with a domestic cup final still to come, but that’s three consecutive defeats now for Luis Enrique’s side. 

Speaking of those two PSG defeats at home, Nice were one of the sides to beat the Parisians on home soil, the Eaglets won the reverse fixture 3-2, before PSG got revenge in the cup with a 3-1 victory. As fun as the last matchday would be if Nice win here, I just think PSG will bounce back, they’ve won eight of the last ten games away to Nice.

Reims v Marseille

The Stade Auguste-Delaune will play host for this Ligue 1 battle between Reims and Marseille on Wednesday evening. 

Reims got a commendable point on their last outing away to Champions League hopefuls Brest, a victory here for the Res and Whites would see them move up to tenth in the table, if they are to finish in the top half of Ligue 1 this season, it would be their highest finish in the league since the 2019/2020 campaign. 

After their exit from the Europa League in Bergamo last week, Marseille will now be hoping they can have another shot at a European competition next season, with the Europa Conference League spot still up for grabs, the Phocaeans could find themselves in that precious sixth spot going into the last game of the season if they manage to secure all three points here. 

Only one side in Ligue 1 have a worse away record than Marseille this season, they’ve won just twice on the road and picked up just eleven points from a possible forty-five, whilst Reims have won just once in their last seven home games, both teams have found the net in six of their last seven meetings and just two of those games ended in a draw.
