Andy Brown — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 10:32:19 +0000

The clash between the first-place finishers and the runners-up from the previous season continues in full force during the present one. Juventus have made the perfect start and are looking to extend their run as much as possible. They are the team to beat in Italy, but if there is a squad to challenge them, it is exactly the hosts. Napoli will likely come in form slower but certainly will do their best to win.
The Partenopei beat the Old Lady away from home a year before, blowing open the title race and will try to repeat this success once again.

Key Players Missing

Mattia De Sciglio and Sami Khedira have injuries and may not be fit on time. Douglas Costa will be missing all the next month due to a malleolar injury. The 28-year-old player is also suspended for spitting on Sassuolo’s player Federico Di Francesco two rounds ago.
Amin Younes has an Achilles tendon rupture and will miss the match. Alex Meret and Vlad Chiriches are ruled out but they will rarely take part in the starting eleven anyway.

Juventus dominated the last 10 matches between the two sides – 6 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses. Both teams scored in 7 of these games. Over 2.5 goals were scored in 6 of these matches.

AS Roma vs. SS Lazio Preview, Tips and Odds

Andy Brown — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 09:49:52 +0000

One of the oldest derby matches is coming on 29 September at Stadio Olimpico, AS Roma facing SS Lazio in a match filled with passion and emotions.
There is no doubt both teams will do everything possible to smash their opponent. The Eagles are flying high as they have won 4 games in a row, including the Europa League clash against Apollon Limassol, moving four points clear of their rivals. On the other hand, Roma are currently struggling as they were crushed by Milan (2:1) and Bologna (2:0) and suffered a draw against Chievo after they were two goals ahead in their last three Serie A matches. Roma’s European trip was disappointing too, with a three-nil defeat from Real Madrid.

Key Players Missing

Diego Perotti has a thigh injury and his comeback is doubtful. Jordan Lukaku and Stefan Radu are still sidelined for the visitors while Valon Berisha and Luiz Felipe are unlikely to get fit enough on time.

AS Roma vs. SS Lazio Head to Head

Roma has the statistics on their side, having won 22 out of 44 matches. Lazio won 11 games and ended 11 matches in a draw. The Giallorossi had an advantage in the last 10 league games, too – 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat only.

AS Roma Team For

23 Sep 18 Bologna 2-0 Roma
19 Sep 18 Real Madrid 3-0 Roma
16 Sep 18 Roma 2-2 Chievo
31 Aug 18 AC Milan 2-1 Roma
27 Aug 18 Roma 3-3 Atalanta
19 Aug 18 Torino 0-1 Roma

Lazio Team Form

23 Sep 18 Lazio 4-1 Genoa
20 Sep 18 Lazio 2-1 Apollon Limassol
16 Sep 18 Empoli 0-1 Lazio
02 Sep 18 Lazio 1-0 Frosinone
25 Aug 18 Juventus 2-0 Lazio
18 Aug 18 Lazio 1-2 SSC Napoli
It seems like Lazio are in better form judging by the two teams’ latest results but there is no favourite in such a derby match. The Biancoceleste have lost all their rivalries, against Napoli and Juventus, so far. Roma is not in a better position they were defeated by Milan and Real Madrid in the most important games.
Defence is the weak spot of both teams that can be easily punished, so we expect the positioning of many players in the back in an attempt to keep a clean sheet. It won’t be easy having players like Dzeko, Schick, Kluivert against Immobile, Caicedo, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic on the other side.

AS Roma vs. SS Lazio Betting Tips

On average, both teams scored over 2.5 goals per game in direct matches.
Both teams scored in 3 out of 5 Roma’s league games in the current season.
In 3 games it was total goals over 2.5 goals and in 4 games it was total goals over 1.5 goals.
Both teams scored in 2 out of 5 Lazio’s league games this season.
In 2 games it was total goals over 2.5 goals and in 3 games it was total goals over 1.5 goals.

Our prediction goes on a goalless tie.

Empoli vs. AC Milan Preview, Tips and Odds

Andy Brown — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 12:09:16 +0000

In the last match of the sixth round in the Serie A, Empoli will confront AC Milan (27 September). The Rossoneri are making a hard push to finish in top four this season. They had the bad luck to be equalized in the stoppage time by Emiliano Rigoni with his late goal in the 91-minute last round. The match against Empoli would be a chance to make it up to their fans with a victory.

Key Players Missing

Milan’s players Andrea Conti and Riccardo Montolivo are injured and will not play. Ivan Strinic who has played great World Cup matches is also missing due to heart problems.
Empoli’s list of absentees is a little longer, with the likes of Lorenzo Polvani, Luca Antonelli, Manuel Pasqual and probably the biggest miss of the centre-forward Alejandro Rodriguez, who suffers from a cruciate ligament rupture.

Empoli vs. AC Milan Head to Head

Empoli has not beaten Milan on home ground in Serie A matches since 2004. Their two wins are away from home, the last one (2-1) at the end of the previous season. The Rossoneri have defeated their opponents 3 times in 6 games at Empoli’s stadium, but only once in the last 3 matches. The last 4 games finished over 2.5 goals.

Empoli team form

21.09.2018 Sassuolo 3-1 Empoli (ISA)
16.09.2018 Empoli 0-1 Lazio (ISA)
02.09.2018 Chievo 0-0 Empoli (ISA)
26.08.2018 Genoa 2-1 Empoli (ISA)
19.08.2018 Empoli 2-0 Cagliari (ISA)

Milan team form

16.09.2018 Cagliari 1-1 AC Milan (ISA)
31.08.2018 AC Milan 2-1 AS Roma (ISA)
25.08.2018 Napoli 3-2 AC Milan (ISA)
The home side desperately need to earn points or they will drop under the relegation line, as they are equal with Bologna, both having 4 points. On the other hand, Milan have been performing very impressively since the beginning of the season and it seems like Rino Gattuso’s squad is going to restore the club to its former glory.
Even more so considering the matches against favorites Roma and Napoli demonstrate the progress in the team’s play.

Empoli vs. AC Milan Betting Tips

As we have already noticed the last 4 games finish over 2.5 (1.72 at bet365) goals and we think it is worthy to try out this bet. According to us, it would be a tough game and Milan is going to win with a goal difference (3.7 at bet365).

Gooty — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 14:34:05 +0000

Despite the popularity and their huge fan base, the teams of AC Milan and Atalanta Bergamo are equal at the moment as they were last season – finishing 6th and 7th with a 4-points difference.

Currently, both teams have 4 points but AC Milan have a game at hand and an eventual win will send them in top 10 (currently 15th).

Jose Mourinho Ready to Pay $72.3million to Secure Signing for Manchester United in Summer

Marek — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 21:30:32 +0000

Manchester United have been looking to sign a new left back for quite some time and they may finally end up getting one but in the summer transfer window.
In the current campaign, Young, a natural winger, has mainly started in the left back position for United and lately, he has been banned for three games by the FA.
Luke Shaw has never been able to impress for the Red Devils since moving to Old Trafford back in 2014 and he should be sold. Darmian has been a bench warmer as well.

If reports (TuttoSport) in the media are anything to go by then Mourinho is ready to pay the release clause of 60 million euros ($72.3million) to secure the signing of Napoli’s Faouzi Ghoulam.
The Italian source have claimed that Napoli have reached an agreement with Benfica to lure Grimaldo, who would arrive at the end of the season.
It is mentioned that Alex’s signing opens the door for Ghoulam to leave in the direction of United, where Jose would give the consent to sign the Algerian defender by activating his release clause.
The 26-year-old African star is a solid left back, who has been effective in the attacking third as well. This season, so far, in 17 appearances for the Serie A leaders, Faouzi has directly contributed in 7 goals (2 goals and 5 assists).

Arsenal Willing to Splash Cash for Daniele Rugani

Zaryab — Thu, 21 Dec 2017 05:45:40 +0000

Arsenal are virtually out of the title race and they must strengthen their squad to earn Champions League qualification for next season.
The North Londoners are linked with more than a few quality stars. Yesterday, we covered a report (via Super Deportivo) claiming that the Gunners are ready to splash the cash to sign Hirving Lozano from PSV Eindhoven.
As far as the defense is concerned, Arsenal do need a new center half with Mertesacker retiring at the end of the season and reports suggest that Italian international Daniele Rugani is wanted.

According to Italian source Il Posticipo, Arsenal are ready to spend a fee worth 40 million euros ($47.4million) to hire the 23-year-old Azzurri star, who has so far featured 4 times for the national side.
Rugani was supposed to replace Bonucci in the starting lineup but this season, he has mainly warmed the bench under the management of Allegri.
Out of 17 league games in the current campaign, Daniele has only featured 10 times, scored a goal and provided an assist as well.
As per the provided Il Posticipo link, Rugani really likes the interest from England, where even Manchester United are looking at him.

Manchester United Offer $187,000-a-week Star to Sign Playmaker

Marek — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 05:52:19 +0000

Manchester United are linked with more than a few quality players and the latest name in the focus is Portuguese international and Inter Milan playmaker Joao Mario.
According to Corriere Dello Sport, Manchester United have offered Spanish international Juan Mata to hire the services of the Seleccao star, who has mainly warmed the bench for the Nerazzurri this season.
The 24-year-old attacker joined the Serie A club after winning the Euro 2016 and his current contract will expire in 2021.
Also Read: Mourinho Could Sign $94million Star for Man Utd
On the other hand, Mata’s current deal with United is set to expire next summer and he currently earns $187,000-a-week (Star).
The Italian source have mentioned that the Serie A leaders are not interested in signing Mata from the Red Devils.
However, they will be absolutely willing to discuss the departure of Joao Mario, if Man United are ready to offer Armenian international Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who has recently been ousted from the team by Mourinho.
In your opinion, should Jose sell Mata or Mkhitaryan to lure Mario?

Manchester United have to Agree $33million Star Signing

Marek — Sat, 11 Nov 2017 08:06:13 +0000

Manchester United did spend a huge amount to sign Lukaku in the summer transfer window but at the moment, the Belgian international is out of form.
On the other hand, last year’s signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been poor as well and therefore, Manchester United have suffered in recent times.
In such a scenario, the Red Devils must improve their attack in the upcoming winter transfer window and in my opinion, they have to sign Dries Mertens from Napoli.
Also Read: Jose Wants $202,000-a-week Star Signing Done for Manchester United
The Old Trafford club have been closely following the 30-year-old Belgian international for quite some time and he only has a release clause (TuttoSport h/t CalcioMercato) of 28 million euros in his contract ($33million).
The Belgian star is a versatile talent, who can effectively play anywhere in the attacking third and this season, he has been in fantastic form for the Serie A side, who are currently on top of the league table.
In 18 games (all competitions), Dries has directly contributed in no fewer than 19 goals (12 goals and 7 assists). United need such firepower to challenge Manchester City for the title in the second half of the campaign.
In your opinion, should United activate the release clause in Mertens’ contract to secure his signature?

Klopp Prepared to Secure $78million Star Signing for Liverpool

Zaryab — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 19:00:36 +0000

Liverpool are going to be without Philippe Coutinho for the first leg of their CL play-off tie against Hoffenheim tomorrow night and it will not come as any surprise if the Brazilian leaves the club this summer.
Jurgen Klopp will need a quality replacement in case the former Inter Milan star departs and reports suggest that a top player is being eyed by the German manager.
According to Mirror, the former Borussia Dortmund boss is prepared to secure the signing of Italian international and Napoli star Lorenzo Insigne if Coutinho leaves the Anfield club in the summer transfer window.

The 26-year-old Azzurri star was in brilliant form for the Serie A club in the last campaign. He featured in 49 games in all competitions and directly contributed in no fewer than 32 goals (20 goals and 12 assists).
As per the provided Mirror link, Napoli do not want to sell their prized asset but if Liverpool get a huge amount of cash from the sale of Coutinho then they can use the funds to tempt the Italian side into a deal for the £60million rated ($78million) attacker.
Lorenzo can play in multiple attacking positions but naturally he is a left winger. In your opinion, is he good enough to replace Phil?

Liverpool in the Lead to Sign $35million Star

Omer — Sun, 06 Aug 2017 19:15:02 +0000

Liverpool need to reinforce their midfield and the back line before the start of the new PL campaign and the latest reports suggest that they are linked with a French midfielder.
According to reports going on in the media, Geoggery Kondogbia wants to leave Inter Milan this summer. Today, Gazzetta dello Sport (press image provided below) covered a report and claimed that the Nerazzurri are demanding a fee of €25million-€30million for the 24-year-old star.
The renowned Italian source have mentioned that the Premier League sides are rich and in the race to sign the Les Bleus midfielder, the likes of Liverpool and Spurs are in the lead.
Also Read: Klopp Pressing to Sign $29million Star for Liverpool
Kondogbia was a strong defensive midfielder for Monaco before moving to Inter, where he could not really settle. In the last campaign, he started 20 league games, scored 1 goal and provided 2 assists.
As far as Spurs are concerned, they do not need to sign a defensive midfielder because Pochettino has already got two solid DMs in the form of Eric Dier and last summer’s signing Victor Wanyama in the squad.
The North Londoners need a quality cover striker, they need to sell and replace Sissoko and must sign a right back to replace Walker as well but they definitely do not need a holding midfielder.
Liverpool on the other hand have lacked a strong holding midfield star since the departure of Mascherano to Barca back in 2010. In your opinion, should Klopp splash the cash to sign Kondogbia?
