Forecast of the French Premier League tour by Alexander Shmurnov
The tour after the first defeat of Lyon should be held under the sign of revenge on the host of the championship. The fact that the opponent turned out to be a frankly weak “Valenciennes”, which occupies the last place in the away games table, is a good reason to believe in a major victory for the leader. An additional incentive for Lyon players is serious internal competition. Brazilian Fred, a Norwegian Carew recovering from an injury and successfully replacing them with young Benzema at times - each of the three attackers is eager to gain a foothold in the role of the leading center forward.
Of the matches with discreet posters, it is worth taking a closer look at those that will be held in Nice and Lorient. On the Cote d'Azur, visiting one of the outsiders will play the Sochos scoring four victories in a row. It seems to me that the team of Alain Perren, firstly, was openly lucky, and secondly, she could not do without the help of the judges: in any case, in the 11th round of the Sochaux rival, the Troyes club was openly condemned. In Nice, Sochaux is unlikely to receive convenient arbitration, so I’ll undertake to predict the victory of the hosts. Moreover, “Nice” plays well, but it scores disastrously few and is in the relegation zone.
In Lorient, the hosts, by contrast, have little chance of winning the match against Nancy. Even in the year before last, they had a goalkeeper's embarrassment, like the one that had recently struck the London Chelsea itself. Unlike Chelsea, Lorient has no serious reserves and, in theory, should have started to miss goal after goal. However, in two games in a row (in particular, in the one in which the forward of Le Pen was in the goal of Lorient), the Bretons did not miss even once. This cannot go on for so long, and I think the Nancy strikers will prove it.
Finally, one cannot help but pay attention to the only match in the round that can pretend to be the “nail”. On Sunday evening, Lille, who came to the third place he knew well, will receive Marseille. In this case, I believe that the law of large numbers will not work, and the Champions League participant who has gained an excellent move will play better than Marseilles, which fell apart in mid-autumn.
Forecast of the German Bundesliga tour by Mikhail Melnikov
German football week includes two rounds at once, so when making a forecast for the next matches, one should take into account how difficult the previous matches were for the teams.
For example, the players of Leverkusen Bayer, who gave a lot of energy for an away victory over Bochum on Wednesday, may simply not have time to recover by Saturday, when they will meet with the current Bundesliga champion. In addition, the “Bavaria” sensationally lost at home in the middle of the week to the outsider “Hanover”, and losing the Munich team two times in a row somehow did not suit. In Leverkusen, Bayern must win. Fans of careful bets with zero handicap are asked not to worry: a draw is an unlikely outcome for this match.
“Schalke 04” won in Mönchengladbach quite at ease and now, in theory, I have to cope with “Mainz”, but you can’t make a lot of money in the net victory of the hosts in this match, so it’s better to pay attention to other games. The Cottbus “Energy” is quoted by bookmakers much lower than “Wolfsburg”, although these teams are approximately equal in class. Those who bet that Energia will not lose at a party have a chance to make good money. “Hamburg”, despite the epidemic of injuries, it is time to win, especially since his closest rival - Gladbakh “Borussia” - is experiencing similar problems. Moreover, the team of Jupp Heynckes has not scored a single point in the championship away. Hamburg coach Thomas Doll guesses about a possible resignation in case of failure, so he should set up his team for an outrageous victory.
The leader of “Werder Bremen” even with “Nuremberg” could not play the “grassroots” match. Assuming that in his meeting with Dortmund Borussia less than three goals will be scored, of course, you can, but then you better not make bets at all. But the hardest match for forecasting: “Hanover” - “Stuttgart”. The first one this morning laid on the shoulder of the “Bavaria”, the second and did win three meetings in a row. Someone must break, it is not clear who.
Spanish Tour Forecast examples from Cyril Dementiev
In the championship of Spain, there is such a stubborn struggle that the teams can not settle on the floors of the tournament table. Nevertheless, talking about a group of leaders is already quite permissible - it is composed of Barcelona, Seville, Real Madrid and Valencia.
In the 10th round, Fabio Capello's team goes to Pamplona for a match against Osasuna. Historically, Real Madrid has been playing extremely unsuccessfully in this city - the modest Osasuna manages to create serious and sometimes insoluble problems for Madrid. However, this time everything should be different.
First of all, Osasuna is not the same as before. The team is bled by the departure of trainer-designer Javier Aguirre. And secondly, Real Madrid goes to Pamplona after a heavy defeat from Celta. When Madrid lost to Getafe, Capello said he was ashamed, and in the next game, Real Madrid defeated Steaua on the road. It seems that on Sunday the players of Real Madrid will have a serious mood. I recommend betting on the victory of Real Madrid.
The central match of the tour is the confrontation between Barcelona and Zaragoza. Victor Fernandez, who took the Cup of Cups with Zaragoza back in 1995, returned to the team, and white and blue immediately began to show the game spectacular and fun. In recent matches, and the results delight fans - unexpectedly, “Zaragoza” pulled itself to the best.
However, the Barcelona team most likely will not have enough gunpowder. The match will be a battle, goals can be expected in large numbers, but in the end Barca should win. It is also worth paying attention to the judge - Itturalde Gonzalez rarely lets the team go on vacation without giving out 8-10 cards.
Getafe could well win at home against Mallorca - Bernd Schuster's team looks very confident at their Coliseo Alfonso Perez stadium. However, there is no need to wait for a victory by a large margin - most likely, the hosts will win in one goal - 1: 0 or 2: 1 (the first is more likely).
