Everton vs Estudiantes Everton advanced to the Copa Libertadores’ third qualifying round after their 1-0 away defeat at Monagas in Venezuela last week (they had won 3-0 at home). On Saturday, the team registered a 1-1 home draw against Curico Unido in the league (even though coach Francisco Meneghini fielded his best possible XI) to make it three competitive games without a win (two stalemates and one defeat). Los Ruleteros are occupying 10th place in the Chilean league table out of 16 teams, with six points in five games so far. On a positive note, Everton have been unbeaten in…

Arsenal vs Lanus Sarandi Arsenal put up a good fight at group B leaders Estudiantes last time out, but they ended up losing 3-2 away in a thrilling game. The team are showing improvements under Leonardo Madelon, but they earned only four points in as many games. In fact, El Viaducto won only one of their last eight league matches, drawing three and losing four in that spell (which places them in the 23rd spot of the relegation table). On a positive note, they won three and drew two of their last six at home, only losing to Union Santa…

Watford vs Arsenal I am betting Watford +1 and Under 2.5 Goals scored here, Watford will set up in a very defensive formation and shape, we have seen since Hodgson has come in, they are a defensive side first and under Roy Hodgson they are only conceding an average of 1.2 goals per match compared to an average of 2 goals conceded prior. Hodgson tactics are to make sure they are solid and then try and nick a goal, Hodgson will not change and this tactic leads to low scoring games. I am not sure Arsenal will be able to…

Leicester City v Leeds Utd Leeds has a new manager after last weekend but it is difficult how American coach Jesse Marsch can improve a team who have looked so poor, they have looked like the worst defensive team in the league for quite some time, they have conceded 5 more goals than the 2nd worst defensive team Norwich and 13 more than the 3rd worst defensive team in Watford which is staggering. For me the coaches' tactics were exposed due to the fact Kalvin Phillips the star defensive midfielder has been out injured and they have simply no other…

Gimnasia - Argentinos Jrs Gimnasia LP are finding trouble at the moment. Last Friday, the team succumbed to their second consecutive defeat after losing 3-2 away at Defensa y Justicia to remain on four points in as many games in the Copa Liga Profesional. In fact, El Lobo managed a single victory in their last seven league games, drawing three and losing three. Argentinos Juniors registered an unlucky 1-1 home draw against San Lorenzo after dominating the whole game. Following that result, Gabriel Milito’s men wasted the chance of becoming group A leaders and are now sitting in fifth place…

Chelsea vs Liverpool I am betting Liverpool here today on the -0.25 in today's league cup final, they're in excellent form going into this match after beating Leeds 6-0 in midweek, whilst Chelsea have struggled recently, they only got a late win away to Crystal Palace last weekend, they are 7 points behind Liverpool in the league and I think it is fair to say Liverpool are a level above, the summer transfer of Lukaku has not worked for Chelsea and Liverpool appear to have just so much fire power compared to the Londoners. Liverpool may make a change in…

Leeds Utd vs Tottenham Hotspurs I am betting Spurs here today, Leeds are simply far too open and Spurs who enjoy playing against an open team like Leeds, should have way too much for hapless Leeds. Leeds been battered by whoever they have played of late and the fact they lost 3-0 to Everton and it would have been more only for Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier speak volumes of just how bad they are at present. The amazing thing is Leeds will not try and change their approach and with no Kalvin Phillips to protect their back 4 i can…

Defensa y Justicia - Gimnasia Defensa y Justicia played enjoyable football last Monday to claim their first success in the Copa Liga Profesional by beating San Lorenzo 4-3 away. As a result, Sebastian Beccacece’s men made it four points in three games in this competition. The last league runners-up suffered a single loss in their last 15 domestic matches, having managed 11 victories and three stalemates in that time. After a good start in the Copa Liga Profesional, Gimnasia LP succumbed to a heavy blow last Monday, when they lost 4-0 away at Banfield. The side remain on four points…

Huracan - Velez Despite having taken the first lead, Huracan ended up losing 2-1 at Sarandi Arsenal last Saturday. That slump represented their second consecutive defeat in the Copa Liga Profesional and Frank Kudelka’s men remain on three points in as many matches as a result. El Globo also lost their last home match to Estudiantes, which stopped a five-game unbeaten streak of four victories and one draw at Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco. Centre back Lucas Merolla is still the only relevant absentee. Velez Sarsfield had to settle for a scoreless home draw against Independiente in an uneventful match last…

Audax Italiano vs Estudiantes Audax Italiano returns to the Copa Libertadores (third appearance in history, first since 2008) after finishing in third place in the Chilean league in 2021. However, the team are finding trouble this term. Last Saturday, they drew 1-1 away at Colo Colo to clinch their first point in three rounds so far. Overall, they haven’t claimed any wins in their last six competitive matches, drawing four and losing two since beating Everton 2-1 away in November. As hosts, Audax are on three without a win (two stalemates and one defeat). However, they have been hosting their…
