Football Predictions Wednesday

Borussia Dortmund vs Milan

  • Dortmund to Win
  • Both Teams to Score in Both Halves
  • Dortmund to win 3-2

Both teams are on the back foot heading into this match. Borussia Dortmund lost away to PSG, and will be facing an uphill battle to qualify if they lose here. Milan failed to beat Newcastle at home, putting severe pressure on them to secure a win on the road.

Early football betting markets tab Dortmund as slight favourites here, though it’s bound to be a competitive match at Signal Iduna Park.

Milan beat Lazio at the weekend to move to three consecutive victories. Dortmund saw off Hoffenheim, giving them a confidence boost ahead of a match which will have a huge impact on this group.

Defeat here would leave the Black and Yellows needing at least three wins from their last four group stage matches.

Dortmund boss Edin Terzic was critical of his team after the loss to PSG.

“You can put it nicely and say we showed them too much respect. Or you can say that we simply lacked courage. We wanted to be much more courageous and put the opponent under pressure much earlier and much more aggressively.

“We had a lot of unnecessary ball losses. When you win the ball but give it away after three seconds, it makes things even more difficult.

“We changed to a 3-4-3 in the second half and things looked a bit better. In the end though, we deserved the defeat. When you make these mistakes in the Champions League, you get punished.”

Milan didn’t show much against Newcastle to indicate they can get a result at Dortmund. At 11/8, there’s superb value backing a home win here.

We expect Dortmund to respond to Terzic’s post-match comments from Paris.

Newcastle United vs PSG

  • Kylian Mbappe to score anytime, PSG to win & BTTS
  • Over 3.5 goals
  • Draw half-time, PSG full-time

After seeing off Borussia Dortmund on matchday one, PSG are in pole position in the group ahead of their trip to Newcastle.

The Magpies, though, are in fine form, having backed up their 8-0 win over Sheffield United with successive victories. This is perhaps the pick of this week’s Champions League betting encounters.

Having appeared to break through with a pair of impressive wins, PSG suffered a setback at the weekend in the shape of a goalless draw with Clermont Foot.

Luis Enrique’s team are still something of a work in progress, but that does not lessen the expectation ahead of their evening at St James’ Park.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is relishing this Champions League experience, and has belief in his team ahead of PSG’s arrival.

“I think if we can go into any of these Champions League games that we face in confident mood and good form and rhythm, then it gives us the best chance of being successful.

“We want to carry that as long as we can. I think we’re in a good moment. Defensively, we’re very good, and we look like we can score, we should have scored more (against Burnley). I think the mood is very strong.”

Howe spoke highly of Burnley after Newcastle’s weekend win, and praised his team’s overall performance.

“There’s no such thing as a regulation win. It was a tough game. We anticipated a tough game, I think Burnley are a really interesting team. I think Vincent (Kompany) has done a great job…

“You have to deliver your game plan well, and I thought we did, probably after the first ten minutes when we were a little bit slow out of the blocks. I thought we recovered really well, and I thought we deserved to win.”

As well-coached as Burnley are, they are a slightly different challenge to Kylian Mbappe. Newcastle have defended well, but punters are bound to be tempted by the Frenchman to score anytime at 23/20.

We’re envisaging another belting Champions League match here in front of a bouncing Geordie crowd. Goals are inevitable – over 3.5 is our best bet.


Football Predictions Thursday

Freiburg vs West Ham

  • West Ham to win
  • Jarrod Bowen to score first
  • Bowen to score, BTTS and West Ham to win

After beating Backa Topola on matchday one, West Ham are narrow football betting favourites for their trip to Germany to face Freiburg.

David Moyes’ team beat Sheffield United at the weekend to extend their strong start domestically, and can take a huge leap towards qualification with a win at Mooswaldstadion.

Freiburg have been a bit up and down in the opening weeks of the campaign, but they beat Augsburg at the weekend and also sit on three points in Group A.

The Bundesliga outfit won a 3-2 thriller away to Olympiacos a couple of weeks ago, and will be aiming to build on that here.

Speaking after the win over Sheffield United, David Moyes reflected on the performance and West Ham’s results so far.

"To get a couple of goals in front was really pleasing, it gave us a bit of breathing space as we had missed a few chances before that. We didn't play as well in the second half but getting a clean sheet is a real positive because we'd not had one this season…

"We're off to a good start in the Europa League, we've got through in the League Cup and we've had a pretty good start in the league - we've seen the results today, you take your points whenever you can.

"I don't think we are setting targets but the idea is to stay up and around the big boys, to keep competing and challenging them, which I think we have done - we've given Liverpool and Manchester City good games."

Ever the pragmatist, Moyes will know his team face a tough task against a Freiburg side with three top eight finishes in the last four Bundesliga seasons.

Injuries have hit the hosts hard, though, and we think West Ham are a good price to notch yet another impressive continental win under Moyes. 

Marseille vs Brighton

Despite a disappointing loss to AEK Athens to begin their Europa League adventure, Brighton are sports betting favourites for their trip to Marseille.

Drawn in a dream group for travelling fans, the Seagulls head to the spectacular Stade Vélodrome on Thursday night knowing they will face an uphill battle to qualify if they suffer defeat. Roberto De Zerbi’s side were on the end of a surprise hammering away to Aston Villa at the weekend.

The expected goal statistics from that match painted a very different picture, which will give De Zerbi hope his team can get back on track in southern France.

The Italian manager took responsibility for the defeat to Villa, and expects his team to perform much better in Marseille.

“We played a very bad game, without mental energy I thought. The biggest responsibility for the defeat is mine.

“In the second half we started better but after that we conceded three goals without a reaction – I didn’t like it. You have to be ready to give your best but we can’t lose every tackle, every duel and every second ball.

“But they are great guys and there are great people in our dressing room. We will work to reach the right level. We are sorry for our fans, but on Thursday you will see another Brighton.”

De Zerbi also acknowledged that there is a period of adaptation to the hectic schedule the Europa League thrusts upon clubs.

“It’s very tough to play every three days, but we have to adapt. We want to compete in every competition and we have to show that we are ready to do that.

“I’m trying to manage the squad in a different way because not many players are used to so many games.

“I believe in my players and I have big confidence with the people inside the dressing room. We are suffering but today was not the true Brighton. On Thursday you will see another Brighton.”

Winless in five matches and enduring a nightmare start to the campaign, this is a great opportunity for Brighton to record an historic win against Marseille, who have shipped seven goals in their last two matches.

We’ll take a Brighton win and over 3.5 total goals.
