FC Utrecht vs ADO Den Haag Match preview
FC Utrecht was on the road in their previous league encounter against Zwolle. Both teams scored back to back three goals each in that nail-biting match which ended in a draw.
Den Haag, on the other hand, managed to take all three points against the team at the ultimate bottom, Waalwijk, with a 2-0 score on the board.
FC Utrecht vs ADO Den Haag Prediction
Having a 14 points lead over the opponent in the league table will certainly increase the morale of the players in the Utrecht squad. Besides that, the host has lost only two of their last five matches.
Along with that, Utrecht will be playing at home with the home ground advantage. Even so, they have shown a mixed form at home with 5 wins and 4 losses so far.
Apart from that, Utrecht has lost its last three consecutive home matches. But they have lost against teams like Feyenoord and Alkmaar above them in the league table.
In the meantime, Den Haag has recorded only two wins in their nine away games until now this league season.
As such, FC Utrecht will have a better opportunity to take all three points from the match with their current form in the campaign.

FC Utrecht to win @ 1.40 (2/5).
Over 2.5 goals @ 1.44 (4/9).
Las citas históricas del derbi madrileño
Vuelve otra entrega más del derbi madrileño, una de entre tantas de disputas que se han producido a lo largo de la historia. Los dos equipos de la capital se verán las caras este mismo 1 de febrero a las 16:00 horas en el Santiago Bernabéu. Aquí, en VAVEL España, queremos retroceder al pasado para rememorar esas citas históricas que han quedado marcadas en la memoria de sus aficionados.
El fútbol es sentimiento, es su gente, sus clubes, sus historias, sus alegrías y sus tristezas. Muchos clubes y muchos colores enfrentados. Amigos y familiares que, por un momento, pasan a ser rivales, sin malas vibraciones, ya que, al fin y al cabo, es solo un juego. Diferentes maneras de vivir este precioso deporte, lleno de filosofías que no hacen más que enseñarte otra perspectiva diferente a la tuya, que te sirve de aprendizaje, en el fútbol y, sobre todo, en la vida.
La pasión se hace un hueco entre nosotros cuando se acerca aquella fecha tan especial, aquel círculo rojo bien grande marcado en tu calendario, se acerca el derbi. El fútbol es diversidad, tantos clubes y tantos aficionados vinculados al equipo de su vida, al que defenderán con ahínco y más si se trata del otro equipo de tu ciudad. En España tenemos el gusto de disponer de muchísimos derbis de importancia global, siendo uno de ellos el derbi madrileño.
El derbi madrileño, un derbi histórico
El partido que enfrentó a los dos equipos de la capital española (Real Madrid y Atlético de Madrid) es conocido internacionalmente por la importancia de ambos clubes en el plano europeo. En el plano nacional, es el derbi más veces disputado de la historia de la liga española. Entre ambos equipos, se han encontrado en 286 partidos oficiales, ganando el Real Madrid 147, el Atlético de Madrid 71 y empatando en 68 ocasiones.
El hecho de que dos de los clubes más importantes del mundo y de la liga española se enfrenten en dicha rivalidad, hace que este partido sea noticia y se mantenga en el punto de mira de grandes medios de comunicación.
Una historia de los derbis madrileños que ya está escrita, pero de la que queda aún muchas páginas por escribir. Antes de la cita del sábado, repasaremos aquellos grandes derbis que para agrado, o desagrado para otros, quedarán marcados para siempre en sus recuerdos.
Supercopa de España 2020
El pasado es un concepto bastante ambiguo. En nuestras mentes queda fresco esta final de Supercopa de España tan recientemente celebrada. Un nuevo formato que otorga una mayor importancia a dicho trofeo. El Real Madrid, tras vencer sobradamente al Valencia, llega a una final en la que se tuvo que enfrentar al Atlético, que venció a un Barcelona en horas bajas.
La final se encontró bastante espesa con un Madrid que no se encontró a gusto ante un rival que no quiso ponerle una final fácil al conjunto blanco. Los de Simeone replegados atrás no dejaban espacio a un Real Madrid que no hallaba forma de conseguir el gol de la victoria.
El partido se fue a una prórroga que nos otorgó una imagen para la prosperidad. Fede Valverde cometió una falta en los últimos minutos para parar a un Álvaro Morata que se encontraba en un mano a mano con Courtois. Acción defendida por algunos y recriminada por otros. El encuentro acabó en penaltis que el Real Madrid solventó de gran manera, acabando en 4-1. Fue el conjunto blanco quien volvía a la capital con esta nueva edición de la Supercopa de España en el bolsillo.
Supercopa de Europa 2018
Tras la salida de Cristiano Ronaldo, el Real Madrid iniciaría un nuevo proyecto a manos de Julen Lopetegui. El equipo tuvo su primer prueba de fuego en la final de la Supercopa de Europa ante el Atlético de Madrid.
El partido acabó en un 2-4 tras una remontada rojiblanca. Diego Costa empató un partido, que llevado a la prórroga fueron Saúl y Koke los encargados de hundir el barco de un Lopetegui que no acabaría durando mucho en el cargo.
Copa del Rey 2013
En el último año de José Mourinho en el equipo blanco, ambos clubes se vieron las caras en la final de la Copa del Rey de 2013. El partido lo empezó ganando el Real Madrid con un tanto de Cristiano Ronaldo que abría un marcador, pero este sería empatado posteriormente por Diego Costa en el 35.
En la prórroga, Miranda dio la victoria a un Atlético de Madrid que celebró como nunca un gol que le daba la Copa del Rey ante su máximo rival histórico, el Real Madrid.
Final de la Champions League 2014
La final de la Champions de 2014 es, quizá, uno de los partidos más especiales de la historia del fútbol internacional. Cuando todo parecía indicar que el Atlético de Madrid se alzaría con su primera Champions League, un hombre lo cambió todo.
El partido se declinó hacia los del Cholo con un gol de Godín tras una salida en falso de Iker Casillas. Un Real Madrid que insistía, no lograba hacer año a un Atlético encerrado y agazapado atrás, que contaba los minutos que faltaban para alzarse campeón de Europa. Fue entonces cuando Sergio Ramos apareció para poner un gol que en el minuto 93 cambiaba por completo un partido, que bajo el asombro y la euforia de otros, cambiaba la historia.
Un encuentro que se fue a la prórroga, una en el que el Atlético, hundido y cansado tras ese duro golpe sucumbió ante las embestidas de un Madrid más vivo que nunca. El encuentro, sin dudas apasionante, acabó con un duro 4-1, un Real Madrid con su décima copa de Europa y una imagen que jamás se borrará de la memoria de los madridistas.
Final de la Champions League 2016
Una posible revancha por lo sucedido en Lisboa daría lugar en el estadio de San Siro, en Milán. Los de Simeone buscarían zafarse de una espina que les dejó Sergio Ramos bien clavada dos años atrás. En un partido no muy brillante, el capitán blanco, de nuevo, hizo presencia en otra cita importante con un gol que abriría el marcador. En momentos de incertidumbre, con un trofeo en juego, Carrasco apareció para empatar un partido que se iría a una prórroga sin goles.
Se añadió una mayor tensión cuando sería la lotería de los penaltis quien decidiera al nuevo campeón de Europa. Finalmente, un palo de Juanfran y su posterior acierto de Cristiano Ronaldo haría que fuese el conjunto madridista el que se alzara con su undécima Champions League.
Courtois vs. Oblak: dos muros infranqueables
Thibaut Courtois y Jan Oblak se verán las caras en una nueva entrega del derbi madrileño que tendrá lugar el 1 de febrero a las 16:00 horas en el Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. El papel del belga y del esloveno se antoja fundamental en un encuentro entre dos equipos con dinámicas dispares.
El Real Madrid recibe el 1 de febrero la visita de uno de sus eternos rivales, el Atlético de Madrid de Diego Pablo Simeone. Inmersos en dinámicas totalmente diferentes, los merengues y los colchoneros se verán las caras en la 22ª jornada de LaLiga Santander, competición liderada por Zidane y sus hombres tras conseguir un trabajado y merecido triunfo en uno de esos campos en los que se ganan ligas, en Zorrilla, ante el Real Valladolid de Sergio González. Los rojiblancos, por su parte, empataron a cero frente a un necesitado Leganés que lo intentó, pero que se topó con Oblak, principal sustento del Atlético de Madrid.
El Santiago Bernabéu acogerá una nueva entrega del derbi madrileño. Choque que enfrentará a los dos mejores porteros del mundo y que será una importante piedra de toque para ambas entidades. Thibaut Courtois contará con el apoyo de toda la parroquia madridista que se agolpe el próximo sábado en el feudo blanco, mientras Jan Oblak buscará continuar siendo uno de los sostenes de los suyos con el objetivo de puntuar en un campo complicado.
El papel y la figura de los porteros siempre es importante, pero lo es aún más cuando te enfundas la elástica de los mejores equipos del mundo, como es el caso del belga y el esloveno. Condenados a vivir en una rivalidad sin precedentes en el fútbol español, ambos guardametas comparten un sinnúmero de experiencias que los han catapultado hasta la cima.
Courtois, el guardaespaldas de Chamartín
8 de agosto de 2018. El Real Madrid anuncia de forma oficial la llegada de Thibaut Courtois, un ex del Atlético de Madrid, entidad a la que llegó siendo un completo desconocido y de la que se marchó por la puerta de atrás rumbo a la siempre exigente Premier League, en concreto, al Chelsea Football Club.
Su fichaje por el Real Madrid, condicionado por cuestiones ajenas al fútbol, llegó repleto de dudas, especulaciones y críticas. Sin embargo y para beneficio de la institución blanca y sus aficionados, el portero belga se ha erigido como uno de los mejores del mundo en su demarcación. Sus paradas, sus reflejos, la seguridad que transmite bajo palos y su excelso testarazo en Mestalla han servido para terminar de silenciar a según qué sectores del madridismo que añoraban a un Keylor Navas que, consciente de la superioridad belga en la portería de la capital española, continuó su camino en París.
Con todavía media competición doméstica por disputar, Courtois ha logrado mantener su portería a cero en varias ocasiones, lo que le ha hecho ganarse el favor de la siempre minuciosa y severa hinchada merengue. Por si fuera poco, el portero formado en las categorías inferiores del KRC Genk fue clave en la consecución de la Supercopa de España. Allí, Courtois detuvo un lanzamiento de pena máxima a Thomas y acercó a los suyos al primer título oficial del 2020, lo que minutos después pasó a ser una realidad. Además, el Real Madrid es el equipo menos goleado de las cinco grandes ligas europeas. El meta belga ha mantenido la portería a cero en ocho de las últimas once jornadas y solo ha encajado seis goles en los últimos 16 encuentros.
Jan Oblak, el cerrojo rojiblanco
El portero del Atlético de Madrid, con sus paradas e intervenciones clave, se ha convertido en el nuevo ídolo de una parroquia colchonera descontenta con el juego desplegado por los suyos en los encuentros más recientes.
Inmersos en una dinámica negativa que parece no llegar a su fin, el Atlético de Madrid se medirá a un Real Madrid lanzado y en racha que encabeza la clasificación de LaLiga Santander. La necesidad de sumar, y de hacerlo de tres en tres, persigue a un conjunto rojiblanco que tiene en el guardameta esloveno a su jugador franquicia. Sin embargo, no es suficiente, ya que los de Diego Pablo Simeone están a diez puntos (36) de su rival el próximo sábado (46). Además, Jan Oblak (14) únicamente ha encajado un gol más que Thibaut Courtois (13); lo que habla muy bien del desempeño del esloveno en la temporada 2019/20.
El duelo entre el Real Madrid y el Atlético de Madrid irá mucho más allá de la rivalidad en la portería. También se verán las caras Zinedine Zidane y Diego Pablo Simeone, dos entrenadores con rédito suficiente y acostumbrados a la atmósfera que se vivirá y al ambiente que se respirará el sábado en la capital española. Un Bernabéu a rebosar que empujará y llevará en volandas a los suyos en la 22ª jornada de una Liga Santander en la que predomina el bipartidismo futbolístico establecido por el Real Madrid y el FC Barcelona, principales candidatos a levantar el título nacional.
OFICIAL: el Valencia consigue la cesión de Florenzi
Lo que era un secreto a voces, el club lo ha hecho oficial, y es que el Valencia logra la cesión por lo que queda de temporada del lateral derecho Alessandro Florenzi, proveniente de la Roma. De esta manera el equipo ché refuerza una posición de lateral derecho que no tenía un recambio de garantías, tras lo que hasta ahora se considera un fichaje fallido de Correia y la lesión prolongada de Piccini.
Ambos equipos llegaron a un acuerdo que unirá a Florenzi al equipo valenciano hasta junio de 2020 en una cesión limpia, sin opción a compra.
El dueño y señor de esa posición ha sido Daniel Wass, que para nadie es un secreto que está jugando fuera de su posición desde su llegada a Mestalla, luego que en su estancia en Vigo se desempeñara como mediocampista.
Alessandro Florenzi no las estaba teniendo todas consigo en "la loba", ya que esta temporada no ha gozado de la titularidad que siempre había tenido desde su llegada al equipo de la capital. Ha disputado solo 14 partidos en lo que va de campaña, donde no ha conseguido marcar goles, ha repartido una asistencia y ha estado en cancha solo 1.003 minutos. Quien ha gozado de más oportunidades en esa posición es Davide Santón, esto desde la llegada de Paulo Fonseca al banquillo de la Roma.
Con esto, el Valencia logra la incorporación de un defensa de garantías, con buenas proyecciones en ataque y con solvencia defensiva. Florenzi cuenta con 28 años, y ha sido internacional con la azurri en 35 oportunidades en las que ha marcado un par de goles.
Neymar dedicates PSG goal to Kobe Bryant
Philippe LECOEUR via www.imago-images.de
Neymar dedicated his second goal in Paris Saint-Germain's 2-0 win at Lille to basketball legend Kobe Bryant, whose death in a helicopter crash earlier on Sunday shocked the world, as his double shot the French champions 10 points clear at the top of Ligue 1.
The world's most expensive player slotted home the 52nd-minute penalty and went over to television cameras by the side of the Stade Pierre Mauroy pitch to make the number 24 with his fingers in honour of Bryant's shirt number.
"It's deeply saddening for the world of sport and for all of us," said Neymar to Canal+ after the win, which put PSG 10 points clear at the top of the league.
"Not just for basketball fans, but for everything he did for sport."
He had already put his side ahead with a fine strike in the first half before putting the game out of reach and increasing the gap between them and second-placed Marseille.
His 12th league goal of the season tipped the balance in the Parisians' favour after a positive start for the home side, who were unbeaten at home ahead of the match.
The Brazilian almost immediately slipped through Mbappe but the onrushing Mike Maignan stopped the France World Cup winner from clinching his 14th top-flight effort of the campaign.
Mbappe was stopped again by Maignan when he got his body in the way of a fierce close-range effort, but the away side were given a penalty soon after for a clear Gabriel handball just before the forward's shot.
Neymar squeezed his spot-kick just beyond Maignan, who got his hand to the shot but looked on in horror as it made its way in off the post.
"We deserved to win, I think we played well," said PSG coach Thomas Tuchel.
"We controlled the match and counter-attacks and this is not easy to do against a good team like Lille."
Lille stay seventh after the defeat, two points away from the European places.
Neymar's tribute came on what was already an emotional day in French football, with Nantes and Bordeaux also honouring their former striker Emiliano Sala, a year after his death in a plane crash.
The clubs remembered Argentine forward Sala before the Derby de l'Atlantique at the Stade de la Beaujoire.
Bordeaux won 1-0 courtesy of a late goal by Jimmy Briand as Nantes played most the second half with 10 men after the dismissal of Andrei Girotto.
The 28-year-old Sala was killed last January when the small plane taking him to join Cardiff City after being bought from Nantes for £15 million ($19.5 million) crashed off the Channel island of Guernsey.
Nantes wore a special white and pale blue shirt inspired by Argentina while Bordeaux's kit featured an Argentine flag beneath the club crest flanked by the player's initials.
Proceeds from the sales of the strips will go to the two Argentine clubs Sala played for in his youth.
A portrait of Sala was also displayed in the centre circle during the warm-up and there was a minute's applause ahead of kick-off.
Supporters laid flowers outside the ground and broke out into a song commemorating Sala in the ninth minute, representing the shirt number worn by the player which has since been retired by Nantes.
Sala left his homeland to join Bordeaux in 2012 and then played for Nantes between 2015 and 2019.
Earlier Karl Toko Ekambi scored on his Lyon debut Sunday in a 3-0 victory over bottom club Toulouse.
Cameroon striker Toko Ekambi, who joined on loan this week from Villarreal until the end of the season, sealed the win six minutes later as Lyon climbed up to fifth in Ligue 1.
Toko Ekambi came on as a first-half substitute after a scary incident involving France Under-21 forward Martin Terrier.
Terrier was stretchered off after fainting on the pitch, but Lyon said at half-time the player had regained consciousness.
Real Madrid go top with gritty win over Valladolid
Denis Doyle, getty
Real Madrid moved top of La Liga for the first time since October on Sunday after grinding out a 1-0 win away at Real Valladolid to make Barcelona pay for their surprise defeat to Valencia.
It is 16 weeks since Madrid last finished a round top of the pile and it looked like a scrappy contest at the Jose Zorilla would end goalless until Nacho headed in the winner with 12 minutes remaining.
Victory means Zinedine Zidane's side pull three points ahead of Barca, whose 2-0 loss away at the Mestalla on Saturday under new coach Quique Setien could prove a turning point in a nip-and-tuck title race.
Madrid now have the luxury of hosting their struggling city rivals Atletico Madrid, who are 10 points back after a goalless home draw with Leganes earlier on Sunday, with a cushion next weekend, not to mention on the back of a 19-game unbeaten run.
That streak included them drawing a game they arguably should have won at Camp Nou in December and then lifting the Spanish Super Cup earlier this month in Saudi Arabia.
As Barcelona pursue a more entertaining style of football under Setien, Madrid march on, gaining momentum with wins that based largely on solidity and a stubborn defence.
Their form has been even more impressive given the absence of key players, with Eden Hazard, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale starting only four times together this season.
Real Valladolid, who are owned by the former Brazil and Real Madrid striker Ronaldo, are being drawn into a relegation fight after winning only one of their last 12. They stay 16th, five points above the bottom three.
Valladolid's Joaquin Fernandez was lucky not to be sent off early on for a two-footed challenge on Rodrygo, which only earned him a yellow card, despite the protests of Madrid's players.
Casemiro thought he had scored when he nodded in at the back post but VAR showed him to have been just offside and Valladolid arguably finished the first half the stronger.
Thibaut Courtois made a good save to deny Michel and then had to backpeddle to prevent Raul Garcia's cross dropping in under his crossbar.
After a scrappy opening 45 minutes, Madrid improved in the second period as the lively Rodrygo tested Jordi Masip and Benzema twice should have scored.
First, he failed to volley in an excellent Isco cross from close range and then rose high to meet Rodrygo's delivery but headed wide of the post.
Valladolid were retreating and, in the 78th minute, Madrid struck. Toni Kroos' corner was cleared back out to him and at the second time of asking, he picked out Nacho, who diverted a smart header into the far corner.
Nacho ran over to Zidane on the touchline to hug his coach.
There was a late siege as Valladolid came again in the final minutes, the stadium erupting after Sergi Guardiola tapped in at the back post. But his outstretched right foot was offside, and Madrid breathed a sigh of relief.

Venue: Allianz Riviera (Nice).
France – Ligue 1
Date: Friday 24th January 2020
Kick off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Allianz Riviera (Nice).
Nice come into this game in 11th place but with the league being so close a win on Friday evening could take the club into the top six. Form is good with two draws and two wins and they haven’t lost a game since the beginning of December when they were defeated 4-1 by Saint Etienne.
At home Patrick Vieira’s side have won 60% of their games and have the 6th best home record in the league. They have been really impressive at home lately winning their last 3 games in a row and scoring 10 goals in that time.
Rennes are in 3rd place with 36 points and they are having a great season so far. They have moved 4 points clear of Nantes and this position could mean qualifying for the Champions League which would be a fantastic opportunity for the club. Their last league match ended in a 1-0 win over Nimes. They are just 5 points behind 2nd placed Marseille and that will be the objective to catch the club and qualify for the Champions League proper.
Rennes are in excellent form away from home having won their last 3 games in a row. All of those results ended with the same score line of 1-0 and that includes beating quality like Lyon.
Nice vs Rennes: Head to Head
- Last season Nice won this game 2-1.
- Rennes have not beaten Nice since 2016 going back 9 games.
- There is a 60% chance to see over 2.5 goals.
Nice vs Rennes: Prediction
This match has the potential to be very exciting as both teams are in sold form. Nice have dipped a little this season, but they will understand how important this game is and they have the chance to break into the top 10.
We are going to back the home team to get the win as Rennes do not have a great record over them.
This could be quite an entertaining game and we will also back both teams to find the back of the net as they go in search of all three points.
Expect an open match and a very enjoyable one.
Nice vs Rennes: Bet Tips:
Nice to beat Rennes at 2.63 (13/8)
Both teams to score at 1.91 (10/11).

Spain – LaLiga
Date: Friday, 24 January 2020
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Estadio El Sadar (Pamplona).
Osasuna have been alternating between draws and defeats in their last four games here. However, with Levante struggling to come out on top away from home, a change in fortune is certainly on the cards for the hosts this Friday.
Osasuna vs Levante Head to head (h2h)
- Their last clash ended in a 1-1 draw.
- All but one of their past five meetings have featured fewer than 2.5 goals on the charts.
- Both teams have found the back of the net together in just one of their previous five games.
- The final scores have been tied twice in their last ten fixtures.
- Levante have registered the win four times in their past ten encounters. (W-4, D-2, L-4)
Osasuna vs Levante Prediction
Osasuna salvaged a point for the second time on the trot, after Real Valladolid managed to hold them to a stalemate last week. The hosts were much the better side in that latter clash though, and finished the ninety minutes with a whopping twenty-one shots at goal, as opposed to their foes who took no more than five.
It is also worth mentioning that the home team have now stumbled just twice in their past six clashes in the La Liga.
On the other hand, Levante will be making the trip to Estadio El Sadar on the back of a dismal two-match losing streak. Their most recent matchup, in particular, witnessed Deportivo Alaves edge past them with a 1-0 scoreline at home.
Piling on even more misery, Levante have been at the losing end in seven of their previous ten outings. They have secured the bragging rights just once in their last six visits to this venue as well.
Furthermore, Osasuna are yet to stumble at home against a side outside the top ten. As such, count on the hosts to pick up all three points in this one.
Additionally, Osasuna have found the back of the net more times on home soil than on the road this season. Impressively, sixteen of the twenty-six goals for them so far have come from their clashes here.
Meanwhile, Levante have been far too easy to breach in their outings. The fact that they have conceded nineteen goals as of now certainly stands as a testament to the aforementioned.
Taking into account that six of the last ten games at this stadium have also been high scoring affairs, it is certainly well within reason to expect over 2.5 goals on the final scorecards this week.
Osasuna vs Levante Betting tips
Osasuna to win @ 1.90 (9/10)
Over 2.5 goals @ 1.70 (7/10).

Brescia vs AC Milan: Match Preview
The Rondinelle ended their two-game losing spell, but their winless stretch is now extended to five matches following a 2-2 draw against an out-of-sorts Sardinians.
Midfield maestro Sandro Tonali came back with a bang as he provided both assists for Ernesto Torregrossa’s brace, but their defence continue to struggle as they conceded two goals or more in four of the last five league outings.
Eugenio Corini’s team is still in the danger zone, one point behind 17th-placed Lecce.
Brescia have earned just five points from ten games at Mario Rigamonti this season, netting 1.10 goals per bout, whilst shipping goals at an alarming rate – 2.10 per match.
There are no reported injuries, but Mario Balotelli (15 games, 5 goals) is banned.
After beating Cagliari (2-0) at the Sardegna Arena and SPAL (3-0) in the Coppa Italia, AC Milan went on to record their third consecutive win across competitions as they took down an in-form Udinese 3-2 thanks to Ante Rebic’s stoppage-time winner.
As a result, the Rossoneri climbed up to 8th place on the ladder, just two points off of a Europa League spot and ten points behind fourth-placed Roma. Stefano Pioli’s men will be looking to stretch their winning run on Friday.
AC Milan have recorded five wins and five draws away from home, averaging Brescia’s numbers – 1.10 goals scored per match and conceding slighty more – 1.30, in return.
Leo Duarte (5/0), Lucas Biglia (7/0) and Davide Calabria (13/0) are on the treatment table; Musacchio (16/0) and Calhanoglu (18/2) will be evaluated before the game.
Brescia vs AC Milan: Predicted Starting Lineups
Brescia (4-3-1-2): Joronen – Mateju, Sabelli, Chancellor, Cistana – Romulo, Bisoli, Tonali – Skrabb – Torregrossa, Donnarumma.
AC Milan (4-4-2): Gianluigi Donnarumma – Hernandez, Conti, Kjaer, Romagnoli – Bonaventura, Castillejo, Kessie, Bennacer – Leao, Ibrahimovic.
Brescia vs AC Milan: Prediction
The visitors are on fire even since they shifted to 4-4-2 formation that brings the best out of Rafael Leao, Zlatan’s partner up-front, and Ante Rebic is looking to rediscover his Frankfurt form.
The Rossoneri have won three of their last four away games and I will back them to extend their winning streak.
Brescia have lost seven of their ten home games this season and managed to get on the scoresheet against the big dogs. They have lost 1-2 to Inter, Juventus and Lazio at the Mario Rigamonti and I expect similar result on Friday, so let’s go with Over 2.5 goals as well.

Borussia Dortmund vs FC Koln: Prediction
Both sides were the contestants in some of the most ridiculous score-lines this season, especially Borussia so this game should be another entertaining two hours of football. With that in mind, I’d recommend you go with goals in the second half. It’s becoming Dortmund’s trademark for all hell to break loose after the break, so I expect similar scenario in Friday’s game.
Borussia at Westfalen, in front of their own fans, with all that attacking potency equals goals. Just twice this season The BVB games here ended with fewer than four goals scored and with Koln being calamitous on the road v big sides, we can once more expect goals galore.
