Football Predictions Friday

Bayern Munich v Augsburg

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich return after the international break and welcome Augsburg to the Allianz Arena on Friday evening. – Check out our Bundesliga odds.

Just before the international break, Vincent Kompany’s side extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to five points as they look to claim their league title back from Bayer Leverkusen. The Bavarians remain unbeaten in the league after their first ten games, they’re also on a five-game unbeaten run across all competitions following their humiliating defeat away to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. Bayern Munich are usually a solid outfit on home soil, their last defeat here came against Borussia Dortmund back in March, they’re unbeaten in their last eleven home games since.

Augsburg finished last season in eleventh place and missed out on a European spot by just tree points, made even more frustrating by the fact they lost all of their last five games. Jess Thorup will be hoping his side can put together a similar season during this campaign and hopefully finish in those European places, depending on how many get awarded to the Bundesliga. Despite a fairly mediocre start, Fuggerstädter have put together a four game unbeaten run in competitive games across all competitions but they are up against it in this one, having last won away to Bayern Munich back in 2015. 

This fixture tends to offer up goals, the last four meetings have produced at least four goals, with Bayern Munich scoring at least three in all of those, we could be in for something similar on Friday evening.

Augsburg are just four points clear of the relegation zone after the first ten league games, could they be fighting relegation come May or will they be challenging the top eight?

Paris Saint-Germain v Toulouse

Paris Saint-Germain will start their very important week on Friday evening with the visit of Toulouse in this Ligue 1 clash. – Check out our latest Ligue 1 odds.

PSG return from the international break with a Friday night fixture on home soil, although Luis Enrique’s side could have one eye on their UEFA Champions League clash away to Bayern Munich on Tuesday night, the importance of that fixture could result in Enrique resting a few players in this one, especially given they’ve managed to give themselves a six-point gap to Monaco at the top. The Parisians have picked up just four points in the UCL league phase so far, with four games to go we’re really in the must win stage, but PSG have a job to do here first and especially after Toulouse were the last side to beat Paris Saint-Germain in the league at the Parc des Princes.

Toulouse will travel to the French capital full of confidence following three wins from their last three Ligue 1 games, two of which came on the road. Those nine points have moved Carles Martínez Novell’s side up to tenth and will be hoping to make it three wins on the bounce away from home, Les Violets have now won seven of their last eleven competitive fixtures on their travels.

PSG are the heavy betting favourites for this one and that doesn’t really surprise me given the way they’ve started in the league, as long as Luis Enrique doesn’t let his side get ahead of themselves and focus on next week’s UCL action, they should get a win in this one.

It’s very early days but Toulouse are suddenly just four points off the top four following their recent run of form.

Football Predictions Saturday

Leicester City v Chelsea

After three away games on the bounce, Leicester City return to the King Power Stadium on Saturday to face Chelsea in the Premier League. – Check out our Premier League odds.

The international break probably came at the right time for Steve Cooper and Leicester with the Foxes winless in their last four games across all competitions, facing defeat in three of those. Following back-to-back victories in October, Leicester City had given themselves a bit of breathing space from those relegation places but now find themselves just three points above the relegation zone prior to the visit of Chelsea, I’m sure the foxes will just be looking to avoid defeat in this one.

Enzo Maresca will return to Leicester and it’ll be interesting to see the reaction he gets from those fans that used to sing his name on a weekend, it should be a good one given the Italian secured promotion with the Foxes. Of course, he’ll be hoping it’s a successful visit as his Chelsea side look to continue their progression this season with an aim to finish in the top four, something they’ve started strongly with as the Blues occupy third in the Premier League ahead of this fixture. They have played out two stalemates in their last two league outings, although both games were tough on paper, a trip to Old Trafford before a visit from Arsenal, it’s been a solid start for the Blues. 

Chelsea have enjoyed their last two visits to this ground, scoring three on both occasions and taking home three points, I think we could see the Blues with another victory in this one. Here you can find all our latest Premier League predictions.

Chelsea have impressed this season and will be hoping to finish in the top four in Enzo Maresca’s first year in charge.

Borussia Dortmund v Freiburg

Borussia Dortmund will take on Freiburg at the Signal Iduna Park on Saturday afternoon in this Bundesliga fixture. – Check out our Bundesliga odds.

With back-to-back victories against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga and Sturm Graz in the UEFA Champions League, the pressure looked to had eased off Dortmund boss Nuri Sahin but his side let him down just before the international break. Emre Can didn’t help the cause after seeing red with just twenty-seven minutes played against Mainz, Dortmund fell to a 3-1 defeat and picked up their fourth league loss in just ten games, leaving the Prussians in seventh place and the pressure back on Sahin. 

Freiburg enter this fixture on Saturday currently occupying fifth place in the Bundesliga after a strong start from Julian Schuster’s side. Breisgau Brazilians have lost just one of their last six competitive games, although played out two goalless draws in their last two fixtures. If Freiburg are to pick up three points in this one, they’ll have to win here in a competitive game for the first time since 2001, a big ask.

I think we’ll see Borussia Dortmund bounce back in this one, their head-to-head record against Freiburg is a good one on home soil, having won fifteen of their last sixteen meetings.

Nuri Sahin will be hoping he’ll get a proper chance in charge if Borussia Dortmund and will be looking to lead his side into the top four.

Arsenal v Nottingham Forest

Arsenal will be looking forward to return to the Emirates on Saturday, they welcome Nottingham Forest after playing four games in a row on the road. – Check out our latest Premier League odds.

Mikel Arteta will feel like the international break came at the right time for his side, the Gunners have now gone three games without a victory, two defeats against Newcastle and Inter Milan was followed up with a 1-1 draw in a London derby against Chelsea. Mikel Arteta’s side will be glad to be back on home soil, they’ve lost just one of their last nineteen games here across all competitions and will be relying on their home faithful to get their season back on track. It’s not over for Arsenal but they are definitely up against it in terms of their title chances, with eleven games played they are now nine points behind the leaders Liverpool and four behind Manchester City.

Nottingham Forest head into their trip to North London on Saturday afternoon on level points with their opponents, the Tricky Trees find themselves in fifth place after the first eleven games, not something that many had predicted. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have had nearly two-weeks to reflect on their disappointing 3-1 defeat against Newcastle in their last outing, it’s a big ask for the Reds in this one but having beaten Liverpool and taken a point off Chelsea on the road, it’s not impossible for Forest to cause an upset.

I don’t think this will be straight forward for the Gunners but I think they’ve got enough to grab themselves a narrow victory against a very organised Forest side. Here you can find all our Premier League tips.

Can Arsenal close the gap and take home the Premier League title under Mikel Arteta?

Aston Villa v Crystal Palace

An out of form Aston Villa will be looking to bounce back as they welcome Crystal Palace to Villa Park on Saturday afternoon.

Unai Emery’s side are really struggled lately and they could be another side that actually welcomed the international break. The Villans are now winless in their last five games across all competitions and have suffered defeat in all of their last four, a run of games which started with a 2-1 loss to no other than Crystal Palace at the end of October in the EFL Cup. Those four loses included a hammering away to Spurs, a shock defeat against Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League and then a 2-0 defeat an Anfield in their last outing, leaving Villa nineth in the league, although they are only one point off the top three, it’s vital that they get back to winning ways as soon as possible. 

Oliver Glasner appears to have retained the backing of the Crystal Palace board during the international break despite the Eagles winning just one of their first eleven games in the Premier League. Palace sit in the relegation zone prior to their trip to the West Midlands on Saturday but will take confidence from the fact they won here less than a month ago. However, that victory came in the cup and Glasner’s side remain one of just four sides that are yet to win on the road in the league so far. It’s not been a start to the season which has been full of entertainment either for the Palace fans, their games have produced the least number of goals per game (2.1) in the PL. 

Villa have won four of the last five league games on home soil against Crystal Palace, I don’t think they’ll be too much in this one but I think Villa could pile the pressure on Oliver Glasner.

Will Aston Villa be able to make it consecutive seasons with a top four finish?

AFC Bournemouth v Brighton & Hove Albion

Two sides from the south coast of England will battle it out on Saturday afternoon as Bournemouth take on Brighton in the Premier League.

Bournemouth hit some fine form in October and early November, Andoni Iraola’s side beat both Arsenal and Manchester City whilst a draw with Aston Villa sandwiched the three games. With those surprising results, it’s no surprise that the Cherries came away from West London feeling frustrated following their 3-2 defeat to Brentford just before the international break, a result which leaves Bournemouth in twelfth place which is remarkable given their recent results, proving the inconsistency is just costing the Cherries at this point. Iraola and co could create a new club record here, winning four consecutive victories in the Premier League on home soil for the first time.

Brighton became the latest side to inflict misery on Manchester City, the Seagulls beat the reining Premier League champions just before the break with two goals in the last fifteen minutes. Fabian Hurzeler’s side occupy sixth place prior to this fixture, with four sides all on level points, a European spot will be the aim again for Brighton this season but you feel their record on the road will need to improve, having won just two of their last thirteen away games in all competitive competitions. 

I think we’re in for goals on the south coast, Bournemouth have seen both teams score in their last three games whilst the same has occurred in the last four Brighton games. Kaoru Mitoma has struggled in front of goal this season, but he has scored three in his last three games against Bournemouth.

Brighton & Hove Albion will be looking to finish the season in the top six and securing another European campaign for next season.

Everton v Brentford

Everton welcome Brentford to Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon in this Premier League clash.

Everton were able to put a bit of a cushion between themselves and the bottom three in recent weeks but after just one win their last five games, including a defeat away to fellow strugglers Southampton, the Toffees find themselves back in danger after the first eleven games, with the gap to the relegation zone now at three points. Sean Dyche will be frustrated with his sides struggles in front of goal, they produced eighteen shots in their last outing away to West Ham but failed to score, meaning the Blues have now scored just three goals in their last five games.

Thomas Frank’s Brentford travel to Merseyside just outside of the top half of the table, currently eleventh with sixteen points. The Bees have definitely been one of the most entertaining sides so far, they’ve seen nine of their eleven Premier League games produce at least three goals, with their games averaging four goals per game, a league high. However, for all their entertainment, Brentford are just one of two sides that are yet to pick up a point on the road, the Bees have actually won just two of their last thirteen away games in the league, a worry for Thomas Frank.

Brentford have struggled against Everton in recent years, they’ve won just one of their last six meetings in all competitions, I’m going to edge towards the Toffees to win this one.

Fulham v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves will travel to West London on Saturday afternoon to face Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Premier League.

Fulham went into the international break in fine form, unbeaten in their last three and securing back-to-back victories against Brentford and most recently Crystal Palace. Marco Silva’s side are just one point outside of the top six heading into this fixture, it’s early days but the Cottagers will be hoping they can stay around this area and still be in a battle for a European place come May. Another victory here would secure three consecutive wins in the Premier League for the first time since December 2022/January 2023. 

Anything other than a victory in their last outing for Wolves surely would have seen the end of Gary O’Neil’s time in charge of the Old Gold, a visit from Southampton was exactly what Wolves needed just before the international break. Their 2-0 victory secured their first win of the season and moved them off the foot of the table, with just two points from safety in this early stage, Wolves will be hoping they can kick on now and start to climb the table, it’s still a big ask but they should be full of confidence ahead of their trip to the capital. 

I think we’re in for an entertaining match here, all of Fulham’s five league games at home this season have seen both teams score, whilst the same has occurred in 80% of Wolves’ away games in the league. 

Given the start Fulham have made, they are definitely on course to finish in the top half of the table, it’s definitely a possibility for Marco Silva’s side.

Rangers v Dundee United

Ibrox awaits as Rangers welcome Dundee United to Glasgow in the Scottish Premiership. – Check out our Scottish Premiership odds.

After their damaging 2-1 defeat to Aberdeen back in October, Rangers have had a much better November so far. Philippe Clement has survived the international break and that’s mainly down to their three games prior, a 2-1 victory over Motherwell secured a League Cup final for the Gers, they travelled to Olympiacos and left Greece with a hard-earned point before picking up all three points in their last outing at home to Hearts. There’s still so much football to play, despite being nine points behind both Celtic and Aberdeen at the top, it’s not over for the Light Blues but they cannot afford any more slip-ups if they want to keep the faith. 

Dundee United were crowned winners of the Scottish Championship last season and the Terrors have made a remarkable start to their campaign in the Scottish top-flight. Jim Goodwin’s side head to Glasgow in fourth place after their first twelve games, the Tangerines will be up against it as they haven’t beaten Rangers in any competition in their last seven attempts. 

The market suggests that Rangers are the heavy favourites in this one and despite only three points separating the two sides, I’ve got to agree. Rangers are just one of two sides that have still got a 100% record on home soil in the league, I’m expecting that to continue.

Rangers are playing catch-up but it’s definitely not over for the Gers given all the football we’ve still got left to play.

AC Milan v Juventus

Two giants of Italian football will battle it out on Saturday night as AC Milan take on Juventus at the San Siro. – Check out our latest Serie A odds.

Nothing sums up the inconsistency of AC Milan’s season more than their two games before the international break, I Rossoneri stunned Real Madrid away from home in the UEFA Champions League with a 3-1 victory to defy the odds. However, Paulo Fonseca’s side couldn’t make the most of that momentum and found themselves leaving struggling Cagliari with just a point (3-3) four days later, despite taking the lead twice. A return to the San Siro might be what Milan need, having lost just two of their last ten games here across all competitions. 

Juventus remain the only side in Serie A that are yet to face defeat after their first twelve games, which on paper sounds like Thiago Motta’s side should be flying high at the top of the table. That’s not the case, having become one of the draw specialists in the league (6), they sit sixth in the league before this trip to Milan, albeit only two points of the early league leaders Napoli. The Old Lady have won their last two league games on the road and will be hoping to replicate their trip here back in October 2023, with Juve taking the game with a 1-0 win.

None of the last six competitive meetings between these two sides have produced more than two goals, I think we could see another tight affair in this one. 

Thiago Motta will be looking bring another Scudetto to the Juventus trophy room.

Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur 

All eyes will be on this Premier League fixture on Saturday evening, as Manchester City take on Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium. – Check out our Premier League odds.

It’s definitely been a few weeks that Manchester City will be looking to move on from swiftly, having lost four consecutive games across all competitions for the first time since 2006 and the first time ever in the incredible managerial career of Pep Guardiola. It’s been a testing time for Man City but they’ll will be boosted with the reports that have emerged this week, a one-year contract extension for Pep Guardiola. The Blues are now five points behind Liverpool at the top of the table and will make the trip to Anfield next week, it’s vital that they get back to winning ways on Saturday ahead of that big clash in Merseyside. 

Tottenham Hotspur played their part in the recent Man City struggles, their 2-1 victory in the EFL Cup started the downfall and things looked good for Spurs when they followed it up with a 4-1 thumping of Aston Villa. However, once again the inconsistency has struck again and just before the break, Ange Postecoglou’s side suffered an embarrassing home defeat to Premier League newbies Ipswich Town, it’s unlikely Spurs will bounce straight back at the Etihad given they’ve won just once here in their last ten visits.

I’m backing Manchester City to put a stop to this poor run of form and get their season back on track, we could be treated with goals as the last three meetings here have produced at least five goals. Here you can find all our latest Premier League predictions.

Both of these sides have seen eight of their eleven Premier League games (73%) produce at least three goals.
