Reims hosts Olympique Marseille

Reims hosts Olympique Marseille in a game from the 23th round of the French Ligue 1. Here are our vip soccer bets for this game on Saturday.

Reims are having a decent season so far, being 9th in the standings with 31 points. Their record so far shows 7 wins, 10 draws and 5 defeats. In their last five matches Reims are unbeaten – two wins and three draws. It’s a pretty good run for them, proving that right now they are in a good shape.

In their last fixture Reims enjoyed a 1-0 win during the visit to Guingamp. The only goal was scored in the 38th minute, when Matheiu Cafaro scored for the visitors. If they keep this level of performance and remain consistent, Reims could even fight for an European qualification at the end of the season.

Olympique Marseille on the other hand are 8th in the standings, having the same amount of points as Reims – 31. But they also have a game less. Marseille’s record so far shows 9 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats. Clearly Rudi Garcia’s team lacks consistency this season. They started the campaign with hopes of a Champions League qualification, but right now they are 9 points behind the 3rd Olympique Lyonnais.

In their last five games Olympique Marseille won only once – against Caen. They also made two draws and suffered two defeats. Including in their previous game against Lille, which ended with a 1-2 defeat at home at the Velodrome. The new signing Mario Balotelli scored a goal in the last seconds of the game, but Lille clinched the win with a brace from the young and talented Nicolas Pepe.

These are our vip soccer bets for the Ligue 1 game between Reims and Olympique Marseille. We wish you good luck!

RB Leipzig welcomes Mainz 05

RB Leipzig welcomes Mainz 05 in a match from the 15th round of the German Bundesliga. Here are our vip soccer bets for this clash in the city of Leipzig.

 

RB Leipzig are fighting for a Top 4 finish and a return to the Champions League. Right now they are 4th in the league with 25 points, which is good. Their record so far shows 7 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. In their last five games they won three times, but also suffered two defeats.

 

This is what happened against Freiburg in the previous round, when RB Leipzig suffered a dissapointing 0-3 loss. It was just not a good day for Ralf Rangnick’s team. Freiburg outperformed them in every component of the game, celebrating a win after goals from Nils Petersen, Gian Luca Waldschmidt and Mike Frantz.

 

During the week RB Leipzig had a game in Europa League as well, doing a 1-1 draw against Rosenborg at home. The team didn’t reach the knockout phase of the competition, putting an end to its European campaign for the season.

 

Mainz 05 on the other hand are 10th in the Bundesliga standings with 19 points won so far. At this moment Mainz have a record of 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. In their last five matches they enjoyed three wins, made one draw and suffered only one defeat against the leader Borussia Dortmund.

 

In their previous game Mainz made a 1-1 draw against Hannover 96 at the Opel Arena. Mainz were one goal behind in the result, but Daniel Brosinki’s goal from a penalty kick allowed them to win a point.

 

These are our vip soccer bets for the Bundesliga clash between RB Leipzig and Mainz 05. The home team is a favourite here, but keep it in mind that Mainz lost just one of their last five games in the league.

Olympiakos welcomes Milan

Olympiakos welcomes Milan in a game from Group F of the Europa League. Let’s take a look at this match on Greek soil in our predictions football 1×2.

 

Olympiakos are currently third in the group with 7 points, being 3 points behind the second Milan. This means that the Greek team still have a theoretical chance to beat Milan for the second place and continue. But they must do it with a result which betters Milan’s 3-1 win against them at the San Siro in October.

 

So far in the group Olympiakos have a record of two wins, one draw and two losses. They are certainly not the favourites for the second place in the group, but they do not have any other option at the moment – they must try winning it.

 

In their previous game Olympiakos suffered a 0-1 loss during the visit to Real Betis in Sevilla. The only goal in the game was scored by Sergio Canales minutes before the halftime break.

 

Milan on the other hand are playing for the first place in the group. Right now the Rossoneri are just one point behind the leader Real Betis. If Milan beats Olympiakos and Betis make a wrong step against Dudelange, the Italian team will finish first. In the same time Milan needs just a draw against Olympiakos to oficially qualify for the knockout phase.

 

In their previous game Gennaro Gattuso’s boys enjoyed a 5-2 win against Dudelange at the San Siro. Patrick Cutrone, Hakan Calhanoglu and Fabio Borini scored for the Rossoneri, while Stelvio and Tom Schnell from Dudelange scored themselves own goals.

 

These are our predictions football 1×2 for the Europa League clash between Olympiakos and Milan from Group F of the competition. Who will qualify for the knockout phase? Let’s see.

Southampton hosts Manchester United

Southampton hosts Manchester United in a game from the 14th round of the English Premier League. Let’s take a look at this game in our predictions football 1×2 for today.

Southampton are clearly not in a good position at this moment. The Saints are currently 19th in the standings, being positioned in the relegation zone. Mark Hughes’ team have just 8 points won so far and a modest record of 1 win, 5 draws and 7 losses. In their last five games Southampton are not doing very well – three draws and two defeats.

In their previous game the Saints suffered a 2-3 defeat during the visit to Fulham at the Craven Cottage. Stuart Armstrong scored twice for Southampton, but Fulham were inspired by the arrival of their new manager Claudio Ranieri and managed to get the three points.

Manchester United are also not having the best possible season so far. The Red Devils are 7th in the Premier League standings with 21 points and a record of 6 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. Being 14 points behind the leader Manchester City is clearly not something to be proud of.

In their last two games United won just one point. They suffered a defeat in the derby against Manchester City at the Etihad and made a dissapointing 0-0 draw during the home game against Crystal Palace at the Old Trafford. It’s not a surprise that the manager Jose Mourinho is getting so much criticism at the moment. Some fans even want him sacked as soon as possible.

These are our predictions football 1×2 for today for the Premier League game between Southampton and Manchester United at the St. Mary’s. The obvious thing to say is that United are favourites here, but it was the same thing for them against Crystal Palace as well. Be careful with this one.

Werder Bremen hosts Borussia M’gladbach in a match from the 11th round of the Bundesliga. Let’s take a look at this clash at the Weserstadion in our vip soccer predictions today.

 

Werder are having a good season so far. They are currently 6th in the league standings with 17 points won and a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

 

But lately Werder are having some problems, losing their last two matches in the league against Bayer Leverkusen and Mainz 05. It’s also worrying that in these two matches Werder conceded 8 goals, which is telling us that right now the team have some problems in defense.

 

After the heavy 2-6 defeat at home against Leverkusen, Werder tried to bounce back against Mainz 05. But it didn’t happen. The veteran Claudio Pizarro scored for Werder at the Opel Arena, but Mainz still won the game with 2-1.

 

Borussia M’gladbach are doing better. They are currently 2nd in the league standings with 20 points, being on 4 points behind the leader Borussia Dortmund. So far M’gladbach have a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.

 

In the previous round Borussia M’gladbach achieved their 6th win for the season. Dieter Hecking’s team achieved a 3-0 win against Fortuna Dusseldorf at home. The Belgian international Thorgan Hazard scored a brace for the winning team, while Jonas Hofmann also scored for the winning team.

 

These are our vip soccer predictions today for the Bundesliga game between Werder Bremen and Borussia M’gladbach at the Weserstadion in Bremen. Just 3 points separate these two teams at the moment, so the difference in their levels is not so big. But if we talk about current form, maybe Borussia M’gladbach are in a little bit a better position at the moment.

Clop: This is the most exciting season for years

Liverpool manager Jurgen Clop has expressed the view that we have witnessed the most contested season in the Premier League for years. The Reds are the leader in the standings with the Manchester City champion. Both teams have an equal number of points but “citizens” have a better goal difference.

Today, Liverpool faces Arsenal and if it succeeds in winning it, “Merseysides” will record their best start in the championship throughout their history.

“We play against Manchester City twice during the season. The maximum points we can lose is three in both matches. In Germany everyone complains about Bayern Munich and the fact that everyone knows who will be the champion in October, “said Clap.

“This season in the Premier League is not such. I hope it will stay that way. Perhaps this is the most exciting season for years. Last year, several teams did a very good campaign, but there was no way to get to City because it was already big in October or November, “the German said.

“It’s exciting now. I’m also a soccer fan, and for a football fan that’s great. At the other end of the table there are several teams with very few points but they all have chances to save. That makes the league very interesting, “added Jurgen Clop.

Guardiola is the best coach for 2018

Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola was named the best trainer in 2018 in the “Four Four Two” magazine’s ranking of the top 50.

Lampard: Chelsea is a serious contender for the title

Darby County Manager Frank Lampard is convinced that his former Chelsea club is a real contender for the Premiership title this season.

“The Blues” have not lost since the start of the campaign and 10 rounds are just two points from the top, but many are skeptical about their chances of winning the title compared to Manchester City and Liverpool.

Lampard is in a different opinion, and on the eve of the Stamford Bridge visit to the League Cup expressed his admiration for the work of Maurizio Sari.

“Sari makes a great impression, and I feel that the staff, the players and everyone in the club are working hard since the beginning of the pre-season to change certain things.” “It’s a huge job to do for those changes that the coach does. Chelsea can win the Premiership and I see them among the teams that are very strong and have real chances for the title Everyone knows that City is very strong as Liverpool and Tottenham but Chelsea is definitely not behind When Azar is in the form, demonstrated from the beginning of the season, in his face they have an impressive world-class player, hopefully against us he will want to rest, “Lampard said.

Leicester returns on Saturday

The next Premier League lecture will be played on Saturday, the club confirmed.

The Foxes are in mourning after the tragic death of club owner Vicai Srivadhanaprabha, who died in a crash with his helicopter after a 1: 1 draw with West Ham.

Vicai Ayiawat’s son supported the decision and wanted the match to be held in memory of his father.

Before the start of the Cardiff battle, there will be a minute of silence, and players will wear black strips in memory of Srivadhanaphrabha.

It is yet to be announced when the postponed League Cup match against Southampton will be played.

Wolfsburg breaks Hannover and continues ahead for the German Cup

The Wolfsburg team beat Hanover 96 with 2: 0 and qualified for the eighth finals in the German Cup. The victory did not come easy, the hosts were close to leveling a few times, and the second goal for the guests fell in the added time of the match. Wolfsburg scored Admir Mehmedi in the 20th minute and W. Veghorst in the 93st.

The guests took a bare return in the first half. Admir Mehmedi was right in the 20th minute, using a mistake in the home defense and with a great shot gave Wolfsburg a lead in the fight for the eighth finals in the tournament.

Otherwise in the 10th minute, Hannover 96 players had a chance to lead, but Hendrik Weidman was unable to write.

Five minutes later, Maximilian Arnold threatened the host’s door, but his shot was not good enough.

After Mehmedi’s defeat, Hannover attempted to regain equality and had several options, but failed. The visitors also had chances for a second goal but the result remained 0: 1 to the break.

29 minutes into the match, Admir Mehmedi tried a variation that brought the ball through to the other end of the penalty area, giving the home team the lead.

Twice at the end of half Hannover was near a shot. In the 44th Tucama Asano failed to overcome Cohen Castells, and a little later Ihla Bebu shoots over the opponent’s goal.

In the first minutes of the second half, the two teams organized dangerous attacks, with the first chance in the 55th place not being on the side of the hosts. A minute later, Jerome Roussillon failed to increase his team’s advance.

Retired as a reserve, Bobby Wood, fired off the Wolfsburg gate in the 68th minute, and then Genki Haraguchi missed a chance for Hannover 96.

The hosts kept trying to reach the goal, and in the 78th minute Hendrik Veidant did not succeed.

Wolfsburg could put an end to the intrigue earlier, but only in the added time, Wooten Veghorst scored 2-0 for the guests and stamped the next round of the tournament.

The final moments were full of tension, with the hosts claiming a penalty, but they still could not reach a goal in the Wolfsburg door.

In other meetings of the 1/16-finals:

Ulm – Fortuna Dusseldorf 1: 5

Darmstadt – Hertha Berlin 0: 2
