Welcome to the year 2023!
Amongst the many good things and prayers you’ve said, may my prayer for green betting tickets and money doublers be your portion, as long as you are a betting man or woman! It’s a new year and we continue from where we stopped and an upward trajectory, of course.
This weekend, the FA Cup, the oldest cup competition in the world, returns after a couple of months of being relegated.
Manchester City v Chelsea
Trust the FA Cup to take center stage this weekend especially as these two heavyweights meet for the second time in just three days. To make it better, it’s a knockout round. Neutral fans have it best!
Just on Thursday night, Chelsea lost a game they had no business losing thanks to City who for whatever reason failed to turn up for the party, as usual, despite the Sunday hosts winning the game. As much as City are expected to win this, Chelsea stand little or no chance especially because of the many injures that have beleaguered them.
In fact, for better context, Chelsea had a better chance before kickoff on Thursday than they do now having lost Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic to injures. It’s worrying times over at Stamford Bridge. Between the players, the manager and the owners, they all seem clueless. The visiting players especially goalkeeper, Kepa, will be hoping for a chance to redeem himself after that schooling gaffe to concede the lone goal.
In conclusion, City will play youth. Expect Chelsea to even do one better as they set their sights on rising towards the top of the premier league.
Tip: U2.5 @ 2.15 odds
AC Milan v AS Roma
It’s Jose Mourinho’s Champions League aspiring AS Roma against AC Milan. Both teams have enjoyed different fortunes so far this season in contrast to last season.
Roma are just three points away from Champions League places. Typical of a Jose Mourinho team, they are tenth in the list of goals per game with an average of 1.2 goals per game while the hosts have 1.9 per game. On the other hand, Milan although in second place, are five points behind winners, Napoli. They also have the bragging rights of having not lost to the visitors in their last five meetings. They also haven’t kept a clean sheet in six matches.
Expect a boring or tough game, if you like to call it so. Low scoring.
Tip: U2.5 @ 1.74 odds
Lazio v Empoli
Tip: 1 @ 1.55 odds
Sampdoria v Napoli
Difference in class made worse by the fact that the hosts are a team with half a dozen players on wheelchairs stands no chance against top of the table Napoli who have claimed 41 points out of a possible 48.
Tip: 2 @ 1.39 odds
Atletico v Barcelona
How Barcelona quickly overcame their transition phase and without Messi has been impressive. Eleven points separate the two sides. Although Atletico won all of their last five games, they’ve been against really lowly opponents.
On goals per game, Atletico are ranked fourth with 1.5 while Barcelona have 2.3 while keeping the most clean sheets.
With La Liga’s top scorer, Robert Lewandoski in the ranks for the visiting team, Atletico will be hoping to avoid a riot. After all, they are no longer the defensive wall they used to be.
