Football Predictions Sunday

Atletico Madrid v Celta Vigo

Celta Vigo will take a trip to the Spanish capital on Sunday afternoon to take on Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano Stadium in this La Liga clash. 

With four wins in their last five league games, Atleti have given themselves a bit of breathing room in their hopes of securing another Champions League campaign for next season. Currently fourth in La Liga, they are now six points ahead of Athletic Club with just four games left to play, their 3-1 victory recently over their top four challengers looks to be a very important victory. Only their rivals Real Madrid have a better home record than Atleti, they’ve lost just once at the Metropolitano Stadium in the league, winning fifteen of their seventeen games, impressive. 

Celta secured a huge victory last weekend with a 3-2 win over Villarreal, not quite safe yet but they are definitely moving in the right direction with just four games left to play. The win on Sunday moved the Sky Blues all the way up to fifteenth on goal difference, a win here could see them secure La Liga football for the thirteenth year on the run, depending on results elsewhere. 

Atleti should be confident of picking up three points here, not only do they have that brilliant home record, they also haven’t lost to Celta in their last ten meetings, with the side from Madrid winning seven of them, I think we’ll see a comfortable home win here.

Manchester United v Arsenal

Manchester United will come head-to-head with Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League.  

Manchester United were humiliated on Monday evening after their 4-0 defeat away to Crystal Palace in the league, they might be short on numbers in terms of players but the whole performance was horrendous, you feel if the Red Devils hadn’t been in the FA Cup final, they might have parted ways with Erik ten Hag already. It looks like these players have thrown another manager under the bus, United are now 2 points off the Europa League Conference spot in the Premier League with just three games left to play. They have a chance of potentially topping Arsenal’s title challenge here, although that would result in their bitter rivals Man City winning the league instead.  

It’s been a brilliant season for Arsenal, with just two games left to play in the league, it’s fair to say the Gunners simply have to win both fixtures and hope that Manchester City can drop points in the meantime. Old Trafford is a ground that Arsenal tend to struggle at, they’ve won just once there in the Premier League since 2007 which is a massive concern, although given the squad that Man United have available, they’ll fancy their chances of changing that poor record in Manchester.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last four league games, scoring thirteen goals in the process and conceding just twice. Fulham were the last London side to visit Old Trafford and picked up a 2-1 victory, seven of United’s last nine games on home soil have seen both teams hit the back of the net.

Juventus v Salernitana 

Already relegated Salernitana will head to Turin to face Juventus at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday evening in Serie A.  

After four draws in their last four Serie A games, this is a great chance for Juventus to get back to winning ways. The Old Lady currently occupy third place in the league and are on track to securing themselves Champions League football for next season. They could count themselves lucky that the teams around them have also had a slight dip in form, otherwise they could find themselves in a real top four battle, a victory here though could seal one of those UCL spots depending on how results go elsewhere.

Salernitana will be playing in Serie B next season, their fate has been sealed for a long time really given they’ve won just two of their thirty-five games in the league, the Garnets have a total of fifteen points so far, which would never be good enough to stay in this league and a real disappointment given they managed an impressive 42 points last season, they’ll be playing in Italy’s second flight for the first time in three years. 

Juventus should get a comfortable win here, they’ve lost just once at home this season in the league whilst Salernitana have scored just eleven goals in their seventeen games on the road, conceding a league high of thirty-nine away from home, 3-0 to the Old Lady.

Atalanta v AS Roma

A massive clash will take place in Bergamo, as two sides battle it out for a UEFA Champions League position in Serie A, it’s Atalanta v AS Roma at the Gewiss Stadium.

Atalanta have really gone under the radar this season, they’ve been brilliant. The Goddess’ have already secured their place in the Coppa Italia, they are hoping to claim a spot in the Europa League final (at the time of writing) and with three wins in their last three Serie A games, they find themselves ahead of Roma in fifth on goal difference, giving them the advantage of securing Champions League football for next season with just four games left to play.

Roma have slipped into sixth place in Serie A which would only be good enough for Europa League football next season, you can’t help but feel like that 3-1 loss to Bologna might have been the most damaging game for Daniele De Rossi’s side. The Giallorossi simply cannot get beat here on Sunday evening, a defeat would likely end their top four hopes given Atalanta have still got a game in hand. 

Thirteen of the last fifteen meetings between these two sides in Bergamo have seen both teams hit the back of the net, I think we’ll see an entertaining game again here given 65% of Roma’s away games in the league have produced the same. With both sides heading into this game off the back of Thursday night’s European action, I think they might end up sharing the points.

Paris Saint-Germain v Toulouse 

Toulouse will travel to the Parc des Princes on Sunday evening to take on Ligue 1 champions PSG.

It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster recently for PSG and their fans, after securing their twelfth Ligue 1 title, they had hopes and dreams of achieving the one they all wanted, the UEFA Champions League. Despite being 1-0 down from the first leg, the Parisians still fancied themselves to beat Borussia Dortmund in Paris and secure book their spot in the final at Wembley. However, a vintage display from Mats Hummels caused heartbreak for Kylian Mbappe and co, as the German side send them packing. 

With just two games left to play, the best Toulouse can hope for realistically is a top half finish in Ligue 1, Le Tefece are on course for their highest finish in the French top-flight since 2014/2015, one more win would give them just that. Although that win might have to wait, given Toulouse haven’t beaten PSG away from home since 2008. 

Paris Saint-Germain are favourites for this game and rightly so, they’ve still got a cup final to play so they could end the season with another domestic double, they’ll be hoping to win all four of their remaining games this season.

Rennes v Lens

Roazhon Park is the venue here as two sides battling it our for a European spot in Ligue 1 come head-to-head on Sunday evening, its Rennes v Lens.

Rennes simply have to win this game if they want to keep their hopes of European football alive for next season, Les Rennais are currently eighth in Ligue 1 and four points separate them from their opponents here Lens, who occupy the final Europa Conference League spot. A home win here would move Rennes to within one point, setting us up for a brilliant final day in the French top-flight.

As already mentioned, Lens are currently sixth in Ligue 1 which could book their spot in the Europa Conference League for next season, Les Sang et Or just need to make sure they don’t get beat here, if they can manage to get at least a draw, it doesn’t matter what Lyon do, given the goal difference, Lens would still have the advantage of taking sixth place on the final day.

Rennes are an entertaining side on their home turf, 75% of their home games have produced at least three goals whilst thirteen of their sixteen games (81%) have also produced both teams to score. Lens have lost all of their last three away games in the league and they’ve actually all been by the same scoreline, with the BTTS stat above, I think another 2-1 could be likely here.

Marseille v Lorient 

Lorient will travel to the Stade Velodrome with hopes of keeping their survival dreams alive as they take on Marseille in Ligue 1 on Sunday night. 

Marseille are still in the hunt of finishing within the top six and securing European football for the French giants, despite being five points behind Lens, they’ve played a game less and if they win that game, they’ll find themselves ahead of Lyon on goal difference and just two points behind those European places with games left to play. The Phocaeans have the third best home record in Ligue 1, they’ve lost just once although they’ve drawn 38% of their games in Marseille. 

Lorient could be relegated this weekend, given their goal difference of -26, the best the Merlucciidaes can hope for is finishing sixteenth which would give themselves a chance of survival via the play-offs, that of course would all depend on how Metz get on in their game, a draw there and a defeat here for Lorient would seal their fate, survival isn’t impossible with two games left to play, but it’s almost a certainty. 

I don’t think Lorient will cause Marseille too many problems here, Marseille haven’t lost to Lorient in their last eleven games and they’ve taken all three points in eight of those. Lorient are also winless in their last eight games, losing seven of those, including their last three on the road.

Nantes v Lille

Nantes will take on Lille in Ligue 1 on Sunday evening at the Stade de la Beaujoire. 

Nantes finished last season in sixteenth but given the format change to Ligue 1, they avoided having to play a relegation play-off, they’ll also be hoping they’ve done enough to avoid the same situation here, the Yellow House are currently four points clear of the drop zone with two games left to play, but given those remaining games are against sides in the top four, they might be relying on results to go in their favour elsewhere as they look to secure safety. 

Two defeats in their last three Ligue 1 matches for Lille has invited some pressure on that precious fourth spot that they currently occupy, they have a gap of four points to Nice below although they have played a game more, so these last two matches are vital for Paulo Fonseca’s side. As long as they win both games, the Mastiffs will secure their shot at Champions League group stage qualification, at the very least.

Lille have the best home record in the league but on the road it’s a different story, they’ve won just four of their sixteen games away from home, with a draw rate of 44%. Nantes hold the worst home record in Ligue 1, they’ve taken just twelve points from a possible forty-eight, with just three wins and three draws, they’ve also lost all of their last nine home games, scoring just three times.

Football Predictions Monday

Leece v Udinese

A struggling Udinese side will travel to the Stadio Via del Mare on Monday evening to face Leece in Serie A.

Leece have put together four game unbeaten run just at the right time, having found themselves flirting with relegation, eight points from their last four games has moved the Giallorossi up to thirteenth and seven points clear of the drop with just three games left to play. They looked to have secured safety and should be playing Italian top-flight football for the third year in a row next season, although at least a draw here would make that a certainty. 

Udinese have simply drawn too many games this season, 51% of their games (18) have ended in a stalemate and they’ve picked up three points just four times this season, that’s the reason why they find themselves in the bottom three and two points from safety. However, the good news for the Little Zebras is their survival is in their hands, within their remaining three games, their last two fixtures are against the two sides that are directly above them in seventeenth and sixteenth respectably, with just two points separating them all, if they can find a winner in these pivotal games they will make it thirty (30) consecutive years playing in Serie A.

Both of these sides have drawn their last two games with the same scoreline (1-1), two of their last four meetings have also finished 1-1, given Udinese are the Serie A draw specialists this season and Leece not too far behind, I think we’re in for another score draw here.

Aston Villa v Liverpool

Monday night football from the Premier League brings us an intriguing contest between two of the top four sides, it’s Aston Villa v Liverpool at Villa Park.

With just two games left to play, Aston Villa now have Champions League football for next season well and truly in their hands, they could actually have fourth spot secured before this fixture, depending on how Tottenham get on against Burnley but a win here would definitely secure that precious final UCL spot for Unai Emery’s side, who this week has been nominated for manager of the year in the Premier League. 

Liverpool are just looking to give Jurgen Klopp a proper sending off, they had hoped to give the German a few trophies on his farewell tour but it looks like the Reds will have to settle for a Carabao Cup trophy and third in the league. After slipping up to both Everton and West Ham in recent weeks, Liverpool bounced back in their last outing with a 4-2 victory over Spurs, a result which looks to have helped ease any potential pressure for Monday nights opponents, Villa. 

Aston Villa have a very famous victory in this fixture, their 7-2 victory in 2020 will live long in the memory of many Villans, although they haven’t beaten Liverpool in their seven attempts since that huge win, Liverpool have actually won six of those. The last seven games at Villa Park between these two have produced at least three goals, with both teams scoring in their last four.

FC Barcelona v Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad will take a trip to the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Monday evening to face FC Barcelona in La Liga.

Barcelona enter this fixture in third place after Girona’s victory against the Spanish giants in their last outing, there’s now one point between the two sides with four games left to play. Xavi confirmed that he’s changed his mind regarding his future and will be staying on as Barcelona boss for next season, they’ve already secured Champions League football and will just be looking to finish the season as strong as they can and hopefully claim second place back from La Liga’s surprise package, Girona.

Real Sociedad put an end to their three-game winless streak in their last outing against Las Palmas, La Real occupy that final Europa League spot (6th) although after a good run of results, they’ve got Real Betis hot on their heels with just four games left to play. La Real will also be a little concerned given the fixtures they’ve got left, Barcelona (3rd), Valencia (8th), Betis (7th) and Atletico Madrid (4th), it’s a tough ask and they’ll need to put some really good performances in if they are to keep this Europa League spot.

Barcelona have been entertaining of late, five of their last six games have produced at least five goals but they’ve actually lost three of their last four games in all competitions. Despite La Real beating Barcelona at the Camp Nou last season, when Barca have been classed as they home team, they’ve won twenty-four of their last twenty give against Real Sociedad.
