Crystal Palace seems to be on the rise recently, taking down all sorts of opponents. And while West Ham did manage to draw against Liverpool at home, this one will be an entirely different ball game.

I am going for Crystal Palace not just because they are the home side, but that they have been doing better between the two. Moreover, West Ham has a terrible away from in their last five games, losing most of them.

It will be an interesting London derby, but the ones to get all three point should be Crystal Palace. 

Everton has lost their most recent game against Man City, though the fans seem to be looking at all the positives from that match. Nevertheless, this time around, the Liverpoolians will be up against Watford away, which is always a tough fixture, even for the top teams.

Looking at the table, the difference between these two teams is more or less non-existent. However, looking at the most recent games, Everton has four losses in the last five games, and Watford seems to be doing better.

Given all that and that the London club is at home, I have to go with Watford for this one. 

The difference between these two teams is definitely there. Moreover, the better of the two is playing at home, so it would be safe to assume that Perez Zeledon is the likelier to win this game.

 

Everton has been inconsistent this season, no matter where they are playing. Meanwhile, City will look to get level on points with Liverpool, who do have a game in hand.

Seeing how these both teams have been performing so far, it would not be a stretch to suggest that there will be plenty of goals in the game. City is always threatening up front, and playing at home, Everton will likely have more chances to go on the attack and score. 

Portsmouth is in a lower division than their opponents. And they did not perform that great in the last couple of games. While QPR is not doing that hot in the Championship, they are still a better side between these two.

Moreover, the game will be at Loftus Road, so it is only natural to assume that the home side will have a better chance of moving to the next phase of the FA Cup.

 

Even though a lot of fans have been expecting more from Marseille this season, the team has been underperforming. Bordeaux is just a few points behind their opponents, and the recent run of games show that Marseille is not doing that hot.

Therefore, I believe it would be better to predict that both of these teams will score instead of going for a winner or a draw.

Previous results show that both teams have more than enough attacking threat to score at least once.

Whether it is a cup or a league game, I favor Nantes as the better team between these two. Moreover, they are playing at home, which is always a big advantage in these type of games. 

I am going with the home side for this one.

Nothing significant to talk about for this one. We have two games that differ in terms of their quality. Moreover, the better team is playing at home. Therefore, it is only natural to expect Hamburger's win in this one.

Even though bookmakers are favoring the home side, I am going for Freiburg for this one. The difference between these two teams is definitely there, and you can see how each of them has performed in the league.

They are no by no means top clubs, but Stuttgart will likely end up relegated at the end of the season. Freiburg might not be the odd favorites, but I am still going with them for this game. 

Even though Milan has made a couple of new signings, they have still yet to prove to be a team worthy of participating in the Champions League.

Roma has been in a slump recently, but due to how inconsistent Milan has been this season, I am willing to bet on the home side for this match.

It will be one of the more interesting games this weekend, and Roma should be the ones to win it. 

Looking at how things have turned out so far, it would be safe to assume that Man Utd has more than enough to get all three points against Leicester. The opponents tend to play quite well against the big sides, but this tendency happens when those are away games for Leicester. As ridiculous as that may sound, they are not as consistent at home.

I do not expect an easy win for the away side, but they should still be able to get all three points from this match. 

Not a lot of people expected to see Qatar play in the final. Japan is another matter, but this will definitely be one of the more interesting finals in recent years.

Even though odds are favoring Japan, I am still going to put my money on Qatar for this game. They have scored 16 goals and did not concede a single one. While Japan has been doing great too, they have more players that will likely be tired from not getting enough rest between the club football and this competition. 

Crystal Palace has been in a relegation fight, but they seem to be doing quite well recently. The results speak for themselves.

The team has also made some new signings, strengthening their squad even further. 

Fulham has been struggling whole season and they will likely be the team to get relegated at the end of the season.

Looking at how things have been turning out in the league so far and given that Palace is at home, you cannot help but expect their win this game. 

Nothing much to talk about for this particular game. You have two sides who differ in terms of lineup and where they are standing. Lille is fighting for the European competition spot this season. Moreover, they are at home. I am willing to put money on their win.

Nobody can stop Juventus on the domestic front. Even when they are playing bad, they are still winning. I do not expect this game to be an exception. The away side will look to continue their winning streak and get one step closer to another title.

The real fight for Juventus awaits in the Champions League, but the team still wants to win as much as possible. That is the winner mentality that they have. 

Looking at the lineups and positions in the table of both teams, it should be a no-brainer to expect Sporting victory. While they might end up short of a title challenge this year, the team is still doing relatively well. The opponent is a mid-table team, but it should not be something that Sporting is going to struggle with.

The most likely result is 0:2 or 1:2. 

Out of all the games in the Copa del Ray, I am going to try and predict this one. Others are more or less clear, and the odds are not worth it. However, for this particular match, Real Betis has a slight edge over their opponents and are playing at home too.

It will be a difficult game to win, but the home side should be the ones coming out on top after the final whistle. 

After signing Higuain, a lot of Chelsea fans expect the team to be securing that top four finish. It would not be a stretch to expect that this will be exactly the place where they will end up.

Playing away at Bournemouth is difficult, but it should not be a game that Chelsea struggles with. I expect to see Higuain have his first appearance in the Premier League, and scoring as well.

Tottenham has had problems with injuries, and look to be in a bit of a slump, considering how they have been performing recently. However, this game at home against Watford is a good opportunity to get back in the winning ways. The opponents have not been doing that hot lately and it is ideal time to strike now.

Son has returned from the AFC, but I do not think we will be seeing him this game. Instead, I expect Moura and Eriksen to put in a shift and overcome Watford.

Looking at how things are in the table, both teams are more or less equal. However, I am going for Swansea because of two reasons. The first one is that they are playing at home. And the second is the recent form of both clubs. Swansea has been winning their last few games whereas Birmingham has lost them.

So judging by the most recent form, it would be smart to bet on Swansea, and this is what I am going for.

Nothing much to talk about this game. You have the worst team in the league playing an away game to a side that is in the middle of the table. Expecting anything else but the victory from Portimonense would be stupid, to say the least.

Victory for the home side and all three points for them. 

No team has as much momentum as Manchester United at the moment. OGS has turned it into a club that is enjoying its football, and the fans appreciate the team the most since Ferguson era.

Burnley is not a tough opposition on paper and given that this is in Old Trafford, Utd will look to fire on all cylinders. It would not be a stretch to expect at least three goals from the home side. In fact, it is more than likely that we will see more than that. 

It is always difficult to predict a game when Everton is playing. For me, they are one of the most inconsistent teams in the league, despite having such a great lineup on paper.

Nevertheless, playing against Huddersfield is one of the easiest games you can expect this season. They are one of the worst sides in the Premier League, no matter if the game is played at home or away.

Despite my tendencies to stay away from Everton matches, I am still willing to bet on their victory for this particular game. 

The difference between these two teams is not that big. However, looking at how things have been turning out so far in the league, Wolves have definitely been doing better. Moreover, they are at home for this match, and this is an advantage.

I believe that this will be a tough game for both sides but Wolverhampton should be the ones getting all three points.

Tottenham has suffered a lot of injury problems and has lost a couple of games on their recent run.


It will be interesting to see whether they will be able to bounce back. Palace is a tough fixture, but Tottenham has a stronger side on paper. I am willing to bet on them and expect to see this London derby going in favor of Pochetino's side.

Despite the fact that Lazio is playing at home, I do not see them putting up a challenge against Juventus. The difference between Juventus and the rest of the country is massive, and they will more than likely going to end up winning the whole thing again.

Juventus has been on a roll and is the team to always be a favorite to win the game, no matter who they are up against or whether they are playing at home or away.
 

There is not that much to talk about this game. Even though Leipzig is playing away, they are the favorites both in terms of odds and the lineup. Dusseldorf is not a team that you can consider as top-tier, so winning against the likes of RB will be difficult, and perhaps an impossible feat.

 

It is without a doubt one of the most interesting, if not the most interesting games of the weekend. Milan has made a couple of new signings, but have lost Higuain. It would be difficult to expect an impact from these new players.

Playing at home is an advantage, but they have been really inconsistent this season. Meanwhile, Napoli has been consistently the second-best team in Italy, losing out to just Juventus.

Playing at Milan will be difficult, but I still expect for the away team to get all three points from this game.
