Sampdoria vs Genoa Prediction & Match Preview

Sampdoria vs Genoa
Italy – Serie A
Date: Wednesday, 22 July 2020
Kick-off at 20:45 UK/ 21:45 CET
Venue: Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa).

Sampdoria’s winning streak in the league lately in the schedule will be their highlight in the match, along with their advantage of being the host in the game.

Genoa has a threat of falling into the relegation based on the other team’s result. However, with their poor form on the road, it is unlikely for the visitors to trouble the host in the encounter.

Sampdoria vs Genoa Match preview

Having faced harmless teams of the league table, Sampdoria has a three-game winning streak in the schedule with just one loss coming within the recent six matches in the campaign.

Genoa is a similar side residing at the bottom part of the table, as it stands. They have only three wins in their last ten fixtures in the league, with five draws in it.

The host has only six wins in their 17 home matches so far this season, but three of those victories had come within their last four appearances as the home team.

In the meantime, Genoa is winless in their last three matches on the road. They have only 2 wins in their 17 away fixtures in the campaign until now.

In the reverse fixture this season, the host had a narrow 0-1 win on the road. Since they had a triumph away from home, the host can probably retrace the win at home.

Sampdoria vs Genoa Head-to-head (h2h)

• The host is unbeaten for the past seven meetings.
• The visitor has recorded only one of the last ten wins.
• Their previous encounter gave a 0-1 away win for Sampdoria.
• The host is unbeaten at home in the recent three matches.
• La Samp has kept a clean sheet at home in the last two fixtures.

Sampdoria vs Genoa Prediction

Sampdoria is in a better run in the league than the visitors lately and has an eight-point lead over them in the league table as it stands. It is likely to see the host use their home ground advantage in the game since they have a decent home run in the campaign until now.

Genoa is at the verge of the relegation zone and hence, will feel more pressure in the game unlike the home team playing for nothing. With their poor away form and injuries in the squad, the Griffin has a lesser chance of creating opportunities in ninety minutes.

The double chance for Sampdoria will be the best bet for the punters in the clash to yield decent returns than risking it on the home win at 2.50 odds. The tip for BTTS will also be a suitable option at 1.66 odds regarding both sides scoring average in recent league games.

Sampdoria vs Genoa Betting tips

• Double chance: Sampdoria or Draw @ 1.40 (2/5).

• Both teams to score: Yes @ 1.66 (4/6).

Lecce vs Brescia Prediction & Match Preview

Lecce vs Brescia
Italy – Serie A
Date: Wednesday, 22 July 2020
Kick-off at 20:45 UK/ 21:45 CET
Venue: Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce).

Lecce and Brescia are both relegation prone sides in the mix and the fellow promoted teams will try their luck for the three points and to climb out of the relegation zone with few games left in their league schedule.

Both teams are caught in the trap of injuries in their squad. Calderoni M, Deiola A, Rossettini L, from Lecce and Alfonso E, Balotelli M, Bisoli D, Joronen J from Brescia; are the players that suffer an injury within both sides.

Lecce vs Brescia Match preview

The 2-1 loss on the road against Genoa last time out was Lecce’s sixth loss within the last 8 matches in their campaign schedule post lockdown.

It has to be noted that four of their last nine defeats have come at home. However, their only win in the last ten league clashes has also come in their attempt as the host.

The host has only 3 wins in their 17 home matches until now. But they will be glad to play at home since one of their recent two home matches turned in their favor in the league.

In the meantime, Brescia has also won only 3 of their 17 away fixtures so far in the campaign. But they have been winless for the past nine fixtures on the road.

Surprisingly, the reverse fixture this season saw Brescia using their home ground advantage to win the clash with a 3-0 scoreline. Now that they are visiting, Lecce will have a chance to return the favor.

Lecce vs Brescia Head-to-head (h2h)

• The team that hosts have stayed unbeaten in their last 8 meetings.
• The visitor has recorded three of the last five overall wins.
• Only one of their recent five fixtures has ended in a draw.
• Their previous encounter gave a 3-0 home win for Brescia.
• The host is unbeaten at home in their last three clashes.

Lecce vs Brescia Prediction

Despite both sides being relegation prone teams in the mix, Lecce has a five-point lead over Brescia in the league, which gives them a slight edge over the visitors in the match. The host will not enjoy any ground advantage as same as the visitors, having nothing to boast in their league tour records.

The host has a better chance of getting out of the relegation zone with four fixtures remaining in their schedule for this season. The safest bet in the clash will be a draw no bet over Lecce with 1.40 odds to yield decent returns for the punters.

Most of their h2h meetings have seen those producing high-scoring affairs, but the total goals always came below three goals per match. The tip for under 3.5 goals with 1.60 odds will come in handy along with the BTTS at 1.50 odds for the ninety minutes.

Lecce vs Brescia Betting tips

• Draw no bet: Lecce @ 1.40 (2/5).

• Both teams to score: Yes @ 1.50 (1/2).

• Under 3.5 goals @ 1.60 (3/5).

Inter Milan vs Fiorentina Prediction & Match Preview

Inter Milan vs Fiorentina
Italy – Serie A
Date: Wednesday, 22 July 2020
Kick-off at 20:45 UK/ 21:45 CET
Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).

Inter is five-points behind Juventus on the title hunt and with four games remaining and Juve getting subjected to draws frequently, we cannot say that the title race has ended for either team.

Mid-table Fiorentina has been on an unbeaten run in the league and it is not sure how they will hold against the top part teams, especially when the competition is getting tighter.

Inter vs Fiorentina Match preview

Inter has lost only one of their last ten matches, and that was at home against Bologna. Their previous encounter was on the road against AS Roma, in which the teams shared spoils in a 2-2 scoreline.

I Nerazzurri kept a tight defense at home and as a result, they lost only two of their 17 home matches in the campaign until now, with just 17 goals conceded at home so far.

Fiorentina has also kept a decent form on the road in the league, comprising 6 wins and 6 losses in their 16 away fixtures so far in the contest.

They will visit after a 2-0 win at home against Torino in the previous league clash. It was their third win within the last five unbeaten fixtures in the schedule.

In the reverse fixture this season, both teams struggled to find the back of the net in the 1-1 encounter leading to them sharing the spoils by the end of the match.

Since Inter Milan is at a better position in the league now, the host can use their ground advantage in exploiting the weakness of the traveling side to take all three points from the clash.

Inter vs Fiorentina Head-to-head (h2h)

• The host has been unbeaten for the past six clashes.
• Three of their recent five fixtures have ended in a draw.
• Their previous encounter gave a 2-1 home win for Inter.
• Both teams have scored in the last five meetings.
• The guest has lost in their recent four visits since 2016.

Inter vs Fiorentina Prediction

Inter is closer to the table-toppers while Fiorentina is a mid-table side, lagging behind the host by 30 points in the league table this season as it stands. The visitor is still on an unbeaten streak in the campaign and I Nerazzurri can expect a fightback in the match.

But with their home ground advantage and squad strength over La Viola, Inter Milan will create more chances in the game than the guests at San Siro. The home win in full-time with 1.44 odds will probably be the best bet for the punters in the encounter.

There has been never a shortage of goals whenever these sides met. However, Lukaku is out because of injury which will reduce the sharpness of Inter’s attacks. So, the safest tip from the goals area will be the tip for under 3.5 goals with 1.57 odds in the game.

Inter vs Fiorentina Betting tips

• Full-time result: Inter @ 1.44 (4/9).

• Under 3.5 goals @ 1.57 (4/7).

Parma vs Napoli Prediction & Match Preview

Parma vs Napoli
Italy – Serie A
Date: Wednesday, 22 July 2020
Kick-off at 18:30 UK/ 19:30 CET
Venue: Stadio Ennio Tardini (Parma)

Mid-table Parma is winless in seven Serie A matches but their pleasant run could not find a win, courtesy of their faltering defense, which hasn’t kept a clean sheet in the last ten games.

Napoli has been chasing for the Europa League spot and has lost just one of their previous 11 league fixtures in their schedule and will probably up that number by one after this match.

Parma vs Napoli Match preview

If it was not for the draw with Bologna at home in an earlier clash, Parma would have been on a seven-game losing streak in the campaign before hosting the Blues.

The 2-3 loss at home against Sampdoria in their previous match was their sixth loss within the last nine fixtures after the league restart this season.

With 9 losses over 6 wins from their 17 home matches so far, the host cannot argue for having any home ground advantage. Besides, the host has been winless for the past six clashes at home.

In the meantime, Napoli has lost only 4 of their 17 trips on the road this season until now. Only one of their recent five tours has ended in a defeat in their schedule.

To make things worse for the host, the Blues have only one loss in the past ten league clashes and are on a five-game unbeaten run in the campaign schedule.

They will visit after a 2-1 win at home against Udinese in their previous encounter and will probably aim to carry on their winning streak from that clash forward against the weaker away side.

Parma vs Napoli Head-to-head (h2h)

• Only one of their last five matches has ended in a draw.
• The visitor has recorded three of the last five wins.
• Their previous encounter gave a 1-2 away win for Parma.
• The host is winless in their recent two fixtures at home.
• Seven of their last ten clashes here have seen both teams score.

Parma vs Napoli Prediction

Parma’s winless run in the campaign doesn’t put up a firm case for a home win and they are unlikely to use any ground advantage in the game. Napoli is in a decent form in the league and more urgent for the three points in the table.

With their strong overall form and 16 points lead over the host in the league table, the Blues will be closer to the win in the match. The away win in full-time with 1.50 odds will be the best bet for the punters to yield decent returns from the encounter.

Most of the recent clashes in the visitor’s schedule have been high scoring affairs. The host doesn’t have a powerful defense to stop the Blues and hence, the tip for over 2.6 goals with 1.66 odds will probably be a suitable option for the punters in ninety minutes.

Parma vs Napoli Betting tips

• Napoli to win @ 1.50 (1/2).

• Over 2.5 goals @ 1.66 (4/6).

Liverpool vs Chelsea Prediction & Match Preview

Liverpool vs Chelsea
England – Premier League
Date: Wednesday, 22 July 2020
Kick-off at 20:15 UK/ 21:15 CET
Venue: Anfield.

The Blues will be running high in confidence after sending Manchester United out of the FA Cup, and that too in style. However, they still have not made sure of a top-four spot, and after all the hard work they have done this season, a Europa ticket might not suffice to satisfy the fans.

They need one more win from the last two games in order to qualify for the prestigious tournament. But both of those are tough fixtures, and the Blues’ camp are a bit worried.

They are taking on the newly-crowned champions of the EPL, and that too at the Anfield. This has been a fortress for the Reds all season long, and with this being the final fixture at home for Jurgen Klopp’s men, they will be determined to close it out with a win.

By the looks of things, both teams will be going after the three points, and judging the enormous offensive firepower on either side, goals could be expected from both teams.

Liverpool vs Chelsea: Head-to-head (h2h)

• The last time these two clashed on the pitch, Frank Lampard’s men recorded a 2-0 win.
• 17 of the previous 23 encounters had goals from both teams.
• Two of the former three match-ups had three or more goals.
• Eight of the last ten games at this venue had goals from both teams.
• The guests had recorded three of the preceding four wins at this stadium.

Liverpool vs Chelsea: Prediction

The Reds lost 2-1 on the road the last match-day, against Arsenal – which was only their third loss in the league this whole season. Meanwhile, the Blues registered a narrow 1-0 victory at home over Norwich the past game week.

As things stand, neither team have nothing much to lose. However, Lampard’s men have a CL spot to gain. Likely, expect attacking football from both teams throughout the fixture.

Moreover, the 2016-17 PL champions are firing in all cylinders after comprehensively beating Manchester United in the FA Cup, and earlier they had defeated Klopp’s men as well in the competition.

On top of that, the new title-winners have not kept clean sheets in four of their last five games, and the one game where they conceded no goal was against a relegation-battler. As such, expect Chelsea to score at least once this Wednesday.

Be that as it may, the fact that the match is taking place at Anfield will have a huge significance. They are on an unbeaten run at this stadium in their past 24 appearances, and of these an impressive 21 were wins.

In fact, they have not at all lost at home this campaign, and will not be doing that in their final appearance here this season.

Liverpool vs Chelsea: Betting Tips

• Both Teams to Score @ 1.50 (1/2)

• Liverpool to Win Either Half @ 1.50 (1/2).

Manchester United vs West Ham Prediction & Match Preview

Manchester United vs West Ham
England – Premier League
Date: Wednesday, 22 July 2020
Kick-off at 18:00 UK/ 19:00 CET
Venue: Old Trafford.

The Red Devils have ensured themselves at least a qualifying spot to the Europa League. However, for the prestigious club, anything other than a CL ticket would be an underachievement. They need to secure four more points from the remaining two games to mathematically seal a CL entry.

The fact that they were eliminated from the FA Cup, and that too by Chelsea, should fire them forward to deliver a top-four finish at any cost.

Meanwhile, the Hammers need one more point from the last two games to officially extend their stay in the PL for one more season. They have made the most of their previous two easier fixtures, which helped them a great deal to build a buffer of points over the relegation cut-off.

Considering the determination of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men to make the Champions League, their recent form, and their h2h superiority over this opponent – expect a Manchester United win this Wednesday.

Manchester United vs West Ham: Head-to-head (h2h)

• The Devils had recorded 17 of the preceding 21 wins.
• They had scored two or more goals in six of the former ten fixtures.
• They had lost the reverse fixture 2-0 on the road.
• It’s been 13 years since the hosts have lost at this venue.
• In fact, the home team have won 23 of the last 29 encounters at this stadium.

Manchester United vs West Ham: Prediction

Solskjaer’s men had recorded a 0-2 win on the road the last match-day in the league, against Crystal Palace. In the meantime, David Moyes’s men registered a 3-1 victory at home against Watford.

However, as things stand, the Devils have the upper hand. They were unbeaten in 19 of their last 20 overall matches, and are on an unbeaten run of seven games at home, where six were wins.

On the other hand, their counterparts were winless in seven of their preceding eight road trips, and of these six were losses. Importantly, their sole win in the process had come against Norwich – the worst team in the competition (who also have been relegated by now).

In addition, Solskjaer’s men have a phenomenal h2h record at this stadium. In fact, they had won 23 of the last 29 such clashes at this stadium over the years.

Likely, expect a dominating win by Manchester United this Wednesday.

Manchester United vs West Ham: Betting Tips

• Manchester United -1, -1.5 Asian Handicap@ 1.50 (1/2)

• To Score in Both Halves: Manchester United @ 1.67 (2/3).
