Shakhtar Donetsk and Hoffenheim join forces at Oblasny SportKomplex Metalist in a UEFA Champions League (Group Stage) match. These two teams have never played before, so this will be their first direct showdown. In this match the house factor may play an important role, since Hoffenheim presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Shakhtar Donetsk Analysis

The home team make their debut in this edition of the competition, as they did not have to play any of the qualifiers prior to this group stage. This is a team that maintains the income when it plays outside its stadium, because in the last 30 games it registers 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses as a visitor; against 13 wins and 2 losses in his stadium. The team arrives at this meeting after a win away with Oleksandria by (0-2). Shakhtar Donetsk won 8 and lost 2 of their last 10 home games for all competitions. His attack has scored regularly, as he has managed to achieve in 7 of the last 10 games.

Shakhtar Donetsk is a club that has never managed to win the Champions League but has won the Europa League once in 2008/09. Last season, the team made a relatively good campaign, reaching the last 16 when it was eliminated by Roma. Looking at the performance of Shakhtar as principal for the Champions League, it is possible to see that the team tends to make busy games with a high number of goals, since in the last seven games they played at home for the European competition, six of them were scored more than 2.5 goals and in five of them both Shakhtar and the opposing team scored goals. I believe that in this match Shakhtar Donetsk will make another game with several goals, since he regularly scoring when he plays at home and will face an opponent with a strong attack.

Review of Hoffenheim

The visiting team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this competition. This is a stronger team when you play in your stadium, because in the last 30 games you have 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses as a visitor; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat in his stadium. The team arrives in this match after a defeat away with Fortuna Düsseldorf by (2-1). In the last 10 matches played in all competitions, Hoffenheim won 3, drawn 3 and lost 4. The team conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 games, so their defense needs to improve, but their attack has been marked by great regularity, since he has always scored at least one goal in the last 10 games. There is a tendency for there to be goals in their away games as 22 of their last 23 matches have ended with over 1.5 goals. There are 1 highlights in the last 20 matches played as a visitor for all competitions: he suffered 12 of his 34 goals in minutes (76'-90 ').

Hoffenheim are a German team that has never won the Bundesliga (German Championship), having a bigger campaign than the fourth and third place achieved in the last two seasons. Last season, 2017/18 Bundesliga, the team made a good campaign, finishing in the third position, now in the 2018/19 season, after three rounds Hoffenheim is in eleventh place, with two defeats away from home, 3x1 and 2x1, in addition to a 3x1 home win. Although the team has alternated between defeats and a victory, we see that it is a team that stars in matches with goals. Now for the group stage of the Champions League, I believe that Hoffenheim should lead games with goals.

Ajax and AEK join forces at the Amsterdam ArenA in a UEFA Champions League (Group Stage) match. These two teams have never played before, so this will be their first direct showdown.

Ajax Analysis

The home team arrives in this group stage after having eliminated Dynamo Kiev after a draw down by (0-0) and a home win by (3-1). The team arrives at this meeting after a home win with Groningen by (3-0). Ajax won 5, drew 2 and lost 3 of their last 10 home games for all competitions.

In this competition, you have not lost 6 matches. His attack has scored regularly, as he has managed to achieve in 5 of the last 6 games in this competition. In their home games there is a tendency to score goals, as 26 of their last 29 games have finished with over 1.5 goals and 21 in 29 have finished with over 2.5 goals. This is a team that scores often first: opened the scoring in 7 of their last 9 games, of those 7 reached the break in lead in 6 and managed to maintain the lead until the end of the 90 'in 6.

Ajax arrive for this match with a 3-0 victory at the Groningen home, adding to their ninth straight game without losing in official matches. To reach the group stage of the Champions League, the Dutch beat Dinamo Kiev in the play-offs. In this game against his fans, coach Erik ten Hag should opt for the usual tactical system, that is, the 4-3-3, in order to benefit the possession of the ball and organized attacks. Highlight for Dusan Tadic who is a key player in the Dutch team. The experienced Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is the best finisher of this squad in all competitions with 10 goals scored. For this duel the coach will not be able to count on Cerny, Veltman and Bandé, all with physical problems.

Analysis of AEK

The visiting team has gained access to this group stage after the previous tie eliminated Fehérvár, with a 1-1 home draw and a 1-2 away win. The team arrives in this match after a home win with Panionios by (4-0). In the last 10 matches played in all competitions, AEK won 6, drew 3 and lost 1. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last four matches, his attack has scored regularly, since he scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 games for this competition. In their away games there is a tendency to few goals, since 12 of their last 27 games finished with Less than 1.5 goals and 18 in 27 finished with Less than 2.5 goals.

The AEK arrives for this motivated game after a 4-0 win at Panionios in a duel valid for the Greek Championship. It is worth mentioning that the Greeks reach this group stage after beating Videoton in the play-offs. In this confrontation away from home the team commanded by Marinos Ouzounidis should present with a low block, in order to exploit in the best way the spaces left by his opponent. Anastasios Bakasetas is the main player in this type of transition. For this match the coach can count on all his players.

Galatasaray and Lokomotiv Moscow are playing for Türk Telekom Arena in a UEFA Champions League (Group Stage) match. There is no record of official clashes between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last confrontation was on 29-10-2002 and ended with the result: Galatasaray (1-2) Lokomotiv Moscow.

Analysis of Galatasaray

The home team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this competition. The team arrives at this meeting after a home win with Kasimpasa by (4-1). Galatasaray won 6 and lost 4 of their last 10 home games for all competitions. His attack has scored regularly as he has scored goals in 9 of the last 10 games. There is a tendency towards goals in their home games, because 24 of the last 26 matches that they have finished finished with More than 1.5 goals. In 15 games, he suffered the first goal 5 times and only got 1 turn on the scoreboard. In the last 20 home games in all competitions there are 1 highlights: he has scored 5 of his 13 goals in minutes (0'-15 ').

Galatasaray are a club that has not yet managed to win the Champions League but has won the 1999/00 European League in the past and won the 2000/01 UEFA Super Cup. In the current season, the team has been able to make a good start to the campaign within the Super League (Turkish Championship), winning twelve of the fifteen points disputed and occupying the first position of the competition. In the last five games that Galatasaray played as principal, counting only the national championship, in addition to winning all, in four of them scored more than 1.5 goals against the opponents. I believe that in this match Galatasaray will be able to be superior to the adversary during much of the game and so it will leave with a positive result in this first round of the Champions League.

Review of Lokomotiv Moscow

The visiting team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this competition. In the last game he played for the Premier League, tied with Dinamo Moscow at home for (1-1). In the last 10 games as a visitor Lokomotiv Moscow won 2, drew 4 and lost 4. In 9 games, suffered the first goal 4 times and only managed 1 turn on the scoreboard.

Lokomotiv Moscow is a Russian club that has three Premier League victories, including the last one in the 2017/18 season, a title that earned it a place in the 2018/19 Champions League. In addition Lokomotiv has seven victories of the Russian Cup and two Super Cups of Russia. When we look at his performance as a visitor in the Champions League, we see four of the last ten matches he played away from home in the competition, four draws and six defeats, showing that the team does not perform well in the competition. Now Lokomotiv will visit Galatasaray, a team that has great potential playing at home and I believe that once again Lokomotiv will not be able to win.

Red Star and Napoli play at Stadion Rajko Mitić in a UEFA Champions League (Group Stage) match. These two teams have never faced each other before, so this will be their first direct confrontation.

Red Star Analysis

The home team gained access to this group stage after the previous tie eliminated Salzburg after a 2-2 draw and a 0-0 draw at home. The team arrives at this meeting after a home win with Radnik Surdulica by (6-0). In the last 4 home games in the UEFA Champions League, Red Star won 2 and drew 2.

In this competition, he has not lost any of the last 8 games he has played. His attack has scored regularly, as he has managed to achieve in 6 of the last 8 games in this competition.

The Red Star is a Serbian club that has twenty-eight Super League titles, twenty-four Serbian Cups, including a Champions League and an Intercontinental Cup (1991). The Red Star was the champion of the Super League of Serbia 2017/18, he finished first in the regular Season of the Super League of Serbia 2017/18, with twelve points of advantage for the vice leader, then in the Championship Round the team finished in the lead again. The Red Star has won a spot for the 2018/19 Champions League Playoffs, spent Spartak Trnava and RB Salzburg of Austria and comes with everything to the Champions League Group Stage, their first challenge will be in the home receiving the Napoli.
Analysis of Napoli

The visiting team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, since they did not have to play any of the qualifiers prior to this group stage. In the last game he played for Serie A TIM, he beat Fiorentina at home (1-0). In the last 10 games Napoli have won 4, drawn 2 and lost 4. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, having conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 games, but their attack has been regular, since scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Napoli is an Italian club that has won two Serie A titles (TIM) throughout its history, the last in 1989/90, the club also has five Italian Cup titles and a Europa League title. In the last season of Serie A Tim, the team finished like vice-leader. Napoli have been competing in the Serie A Tim 2018/19 and are again in the vice-lead after four victories and one defeat. When we look at his history of away games from the Champions League last season, we see that the team always stars in games with goals, to a minimum of 2 goals, this has occurred in all their away games since 2011, totaling more than fifteen games , I believe that before the Red Star this pattern is repeated.

Club Brugge and Borussia Dortmund join forces at Jan Breydelstadion in a UEFA Champions League (Group Stage) match. There is no recent record of direct clashes between the two teams, who have not played any matches in the last 3 years. The last time they faced was on 14-07-2012 in a match that ended with the final result: Club Brugge (3-1) Borussia Dortmund. In this match the home factor could play a decisive role, as Borussia Dortmund has shown differences in performance in their games at home and as a visitor.

Analysis of Club Brugge

The home team make their debut in this edition of the competition, as they did not have to play any of the qualifiers prior to this group stage. This is a little affected by the house factor, that is, presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 matches has 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses as a visitor, with 26 goals scored and 16 conceded, against 9 victories , 4 draws and 2 defeats at home, with 36 goals scored and 20 conceded. In the last game he played for 1e Klasse, he beat Lokeren at home (2-1). In the last 10 home games Club Brugge has won 6, 2 draws and 2 defeats. The team allowed their opponents to score in 7 of the last 10 games, so their defense needs to improve, but their attack has scored regularly as they have managed to make it 9 out of the last 10 games. In their home matches there is a tendency towards goals, since 22 in 26 finished with more than 2.5 goals in the scoreboard.

Club Brugge is a club that still has not managed to win the Champions League, having as its best campaign the runner-up in the 1977/78 season, as well as being runner-up to the Europa League in 1975/76. Last season, the team were eliminated in the third preliminary round of the Champions League and then eliminated in the last preliminary phase of the Europa League. In the last five games that Club Brugge played as principal, in absolutely all of them were scored more than 2.5 goals by the teams. I believe that in this match Club Brugge will play another game with several goals, since when you play at home you usually score several goals and you will face an opponent who, even when you play away from home, usually rocks the net as well.

Analysis of Borussia Dortmund

The visiting team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, since they did not have to play any of the qualifiers prior to this group stage. This is a stronger team when you play in your stadium, because in the last 30 games you have 4 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses as a visitor; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in his stadium. The team arrives in this match after a home win with Eintracht Frankfurt by (3-1). In the last 10 matches played in all competitions, Borussia Dortmund won 5, drew 4 and lost 1. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, having conceded in 7 of the last 10 games but their attack has scored regularly, having scored goals in 9 of the last 10 games. In 15 games, he suffered the first goal 6 times but managed to turn the score in 3. There are 1 periods in the last 20 matches played as a visitor for all competitions: he scored 11 of his 29 goals between minutes (76'-90 ' ).

Borussia Dortmund is a German club with eight Bundesliga titles, the most recent title being won in the 2011/12 season, as well as having a Champions League title, won in the 1996/97 season . Last season's Bundesliga, the team finished the national championship in fourth place, taking prominence in the national scenario. In the last Bundesliga season Dortmund have shown great offensive potential, now they will visit Club Brugge through the Champions League group stage, Club Brugge is a very offensive team, I believe there will be a big showdown and several goals.

Schalke 04 and Porto join forces at the Veltins-Arena in a UEFA Champions League (Group Stage) match. There was only 1 direct showdown in the last 3 years between these two teams, on 27-07-2015, which ended with a 0-0 draw.

Analysis of Schalke 04

The home team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this competition. The team arrives at this meeting after a defeat out with Borussia Mönchengladbach by (2-1). Schalke 04 won 6, drew 2 and lost 2 of their last 10 home games for all competitions. His attack has scored regularly, as he has scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Schalke 04 arrive for this unmotivated match after another defeat in the German league, this time by 2-1 on their visit to Borussia Mönchengladbach. The team of the house usually works in the tactical system 3-5-2, aiming to privilege the fast transitions, mainly through the sides. In this drawing, the two pieces responsible for the main plays of danger are Mark Uth and Guido Burgstaller, being the first very fast and competent in driving the ball to the attack. For this match coach Domenico Tedesco will not be able to count on Oczipka and Stambouli, both injured.

Porto Analysis

The visiting team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, since they did not have to play any of the qualifiers prior to this group stage.

Their attack has scored regularly as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 games.

Porto arrives for this unmotivated match after a 1-1 draw at the Coves dueling match valid for the League Cup. It is important to note that in the last game for the championship, they overcame Moreirense 3-0. It is worth mentioning that the visitor usually works in the 4-4-2 tactical system, in order to favor the maintenance of possession of the ball and the organized attacks, mainly through the sides, and in this context the two most advanced pieces are Aboubakar and Marega. For this match coach Sérgio Conceição will not be able to count on André Pereira and Tiquinho Soares, both injured.
 

Liverpool and Paris Saint Germain play at Anfield in a UEFA Champions League (Group Stage) match. These two teams have never faced each other before, so this will be their first direct confrontation.

Liverpool review

The home team make their debut in this edition of the competition, as they did not have to play any of the qualifiers prior to this group stage. In the last game he played for the Barclays Premier League, he beat Tottenham away by (1-2). For the last 10 home games, Liverpool have 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. His attack has scored regularly, as he has scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 games. In his home games there is a tendency towards goals, since 20 of his last 28 games finished with More of 2.5 goals. The team did not usually find it difficult to open the scoring chart: they managed to score the first goal in 11 of the last 13 matches, of which 11 reached the interval in the lead in 9 and managed to maintain the advantage until the end of the 90 'in 10. In the last 20 games at home in all competitions there are 1 periods highlighted: suffered 8 of his 17 goals between minutes (76'-90 ').

Liverpool are a club that has won the Champions League five times over its history, the most recent title being won in 2004/05. Last season, the team made an almost impeccable campaign, reaching the final of the Champions League, but ended up being defeated by 3x1 for Real Madrid and thus got the runner-up. Looking at Liverpool's performance within their Champions League stadium, you can see that the team is very strong as they have not lost any of their seven games at home last season. In addition, five of them were scored one or more goals in the first half. I believe that in this match Liverpool, because they are playing at home, will start to attack PSG and manage to open the scoring even in the first half because of the quality of their attack
.
Review of Paris Saint Germain

The visiting team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, since they did not have to play any of the qualifiers prior to this group stage. In the last game they played for Ligue 1, they beat Saint Étienne at home (4-0). In the last 10 games as a visitor Paris Saint Germain won 5, drew 3 and lost 2. The team conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 games, so their defense needs to improve, but their attack has scored regularly who has scored at least one goal in the last 10 games. In his games as a visitor there is a tendency to have goals, since 22 of his last 31 games finished with More than 2.5 goals. This is a team that does not usually feel difficult to open the scoring: scored the first goal in 7 of the last 9 games, of those 7 reached the interval in lead in 6 and managed to maintain the advantage until the end of the 90 'in 6. There are 1 periods in the last 20 matches played as a visitor for all competitions: he suffered 9 of his 24 goals between the minutes (76'-90 ').

Paris Saint-Germain is a French club that has won seven French Ligue 1 titles in their short history, the most recent title being won in 2017/18, ie the current French champions. Last season, the team made an excellent campaign within the national championship, suffering only three defeats in 38 rounds, and thus winning the title with ease. In this season of Ligue 1 the team comes again leading and simply scored seventeen goals in these first five rounds. Now Paris Saint-Germain will visit Liverpool for the Champions League group stage and have to prove their offensive potential against a great team from England. I expect a great confrontation with many goal opportunities from the start of the first half.

Monaco and Atletico Madrid join forces at the Stade Louis II in a UEFA Champions League (Group Stage) match. These two teams have never faced each other before, so this will be their first direct confrontation. Special attention is needed for the home / off condition, since both teams present significantly different results in their home and away games.

Analysis of Monaco

The home team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this competition. This is a stronger team when you play in your stadium, because in the last 30 games you have 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in his stadium. In the last game they played, for Ligue 1, tied with Toulouse away by (1-1). For the last 10 home games, Monaco have won 7, 2 draws and 1 loss. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 games, but his attack has regularly scored because he has scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In his games at home there is a tendency to goals, since 16 of his last 24 games finished with More of 2.5 goals.

Monaco is a club that has never managed to win the Champions League, but in 2003/04 it was runner-up in the competition, as well as having eight Ligue 1 titles. Last season they were not in the group stage of the Champions League, finishing fourth in Group G behind teams like Besiktas and Porto (both leaders). And in the current season is having an irregular start within the Ligue 1 (French Championship), winning only 5 of the fifteen points played so far. In the last five games that Monaco played as principal, in four of them were scored less than 1.5 goals in the first half. I believe that in this match, when facing a team that has a very strong defensive sector, Monaco will play another game with few goals, especially in the first half.

Analysis of Atletico Madrid

The visiting team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this competition. This is a stronger team when you play in your stadium, because in the last 30 games you have 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses as a visitor; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in his stadium.

In the last season of the Spanish Championship, the team finished in the vice-leadership, showing its potential. Now this season, Atletico Madrid comes in fifth place after two draws, a win and a loss. Now Atletico Madrid will visit Monaco for the group stage of the Champions League, matches that usually Atletico Madrid usually do well retracted, to get an idea, the last ten games that Atletico Madrid did as a visitor in the League of the Champions, eight had less than 2.5 goals.

Rosario Central and Defensa y Justicia play in the Dr. Lisandro de la Torre Stadium, in a duel of the 5th round of the Argentine Championship. The record of recent direct matches favors the visiting team, who in the last 3 matches won 1 and drew 2. The last direct confrontation between these two teams, on 04-28-2018, ended with the victory of Defense and Justice by (3- 1). It is necessary to analyze with special attention the home / outside condition, because the Rosario Central presents different results at home and abroad.

Analysis of the Central Rosary

After 3 wins and 1 loss, the home team is in 2nd place, having won 9 points. In the last match, he lost with Racing away (2-0), after having won at home in a game against San Martín de Tucumán (2-0). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when you play in front of your fans, since in the last 30 matches you have 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses as a visitor, with 12 goals scored and 24 conceded, against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 home defeats, with 24 goals scored and 8 conceded. In the last game he played for the Copa Argentina, he won the Talleres at home (5-3), in the tie-breaker through penalties. In the last 10 home games, Rosario Central recorded 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. Defensive solidity has been one of his strengths as he has conceded only 1 of the last 4 games and his attack has scored regularly as he has scored goals in 3 of the last 4 games in this competition. In 15 games, he suffered the first goal 7 times and never managed to turn the score. In the last 20 home games in all competitions there are 1 highlights: he suffered 6 of his 16 goals in minutes (76'-90 ').

For this match and after four rounds for the championship, the Rosario Central figure in the top positions and arrives for this confrontation after only having suffered a defeat in the competition. Acting before his fans won his two games. In these conditions he presented an average of 1.50 goals scored and an average of zero goals conceded, demonstrating in this way that both sectors have been working. Highlight for the defensive who still has not conceded goals. In this duel the squad must be aligned in the 4-4-2, seeking in this way defensive consistency and the attacks mainly by the sides. The highlight of this squad within this competition is the striker F. Zampedri with two goals scored. In this match the absence is on behalf of Andrés Lioi, injured.

Defense and Justice Analysis

After 1 win and 3 draws, the visiting team is in 8th place, having won 6 points. In the last match, they drew with Belgrano at home for (1-1), after the previous match had won out in a game against Independiente, by (0-1). This is a team that maintains the income when it plays outside of its stadium, because in the last 30 games it registers 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in his stadium. In the last 10 matches played in all competitions, Defensa y Justicia won 4, drew 1 and lost 5.

For this competition, do not lose 4 games. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 3 of the last 4 games, but his attack has regularly scored as he has scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 games for this competition. In his away games there is a tendency to have few goals, since 22 of the last 43 that he disputed finished with Less than 1.5 goals.

For this round the Defensa y Justicia arrives without having suffered defeats in the competition, however, were draws that conquered in its majority. Acting out of home in two games held alternated between a win and a draw. In these conditions he presented an average of 1.50 goals scored and an average of zero goals suffered, demonstrating that both sectors have been working, especially the defensive player who still in this context did not suffer goals. For this round the squad must be aligned in the 3-5-2, seeking this way defensive support through their fliers and the attacks through the sides. Already the highlight of this cast is due to the midfielder N. Fernández with three goals scored. In this duel the absence is due to Jonás Gutiérrez, injured.

 

Huracán and Banfield meet in Tomás Adolfo Ducó Stadium in a match of the 5th round of the Argentine Championship. The record of recent direct clashes favors the visiting team, who in the last 5 matches won 3 and drew 2. The last direct confrontation between these two teams, on 30-03-2018, ended with a 1-1 draw. In this match the house factor may play a decisive role, as Banfield has shown differences in performance in its games at home and as a visitor.

Analysis of Hurricane

The home team is currently in 15th place with 5 points earned, after 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, tied at home for Boca Juniors by (0-0). In the last match, he won out to San Martin de San Juan by (1-2).

In the last 10 home games Huracán has recorded 4 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss. In his home games there is a tendency towards few goals, since 30 of his last 43 games finished with Less than 2.5 goals. There are 1 highlights in the last 20 home games in all competitions: he had 6 of his 13 goals between minutes (31'-45 ').

Huracán is a club that has five titles of the Argentine Championship, being the most recent title conquered in 1973, besides having a title of the Intermedia Division and two titles of First B National. Last season, the team finished the national championship in fourth position, while in the current season, the team has been making an irregular start inside the national championship, winning only five of the twelve points so far, thus occupying the middle of the table. In the last eight games that Huracán played as principal, counting only the national championship, in addition to not losing any, in six of them the team scored one or more goals against their opponents. I believe that in this match, Huracán will be able to score again within their stadium and will still leave with a positive result of this match.

Banfield Analysis

The visiting team is currently in 5th place with 7 points, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, he tied it out for Vélez Sársfield for (1-1). In the last match, won at home to the Patronato by (1-0).

Already inside the home, he won 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, with a total of 17 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 10 games as a visitor, Banfield has won 1, drawn 5 and lost 4. His attack has scored regularly, as he has achieved in 3 of the last 4 games in this competition.

In the last 20 away games for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: suffered 7 of his 19 goals between the minutes (16'-30 ').

Banfield is a club that has already been champion of the Argentine Championship in 2009/10, in addition the club after being downgraded to Primera B Nacional, managed to be champion of the season 2013/14 and returned thus to the elite of Argentine soccer. Last season, 2017/18 of the Argentine Championship, we saw that Banfield finished seventeenth, now in the 2018/19 season of the Argentine Championship, after four games, the team is in fifth place. In analyzing his first four games, we see that the team won both playing at home, but when he played away from home, he lost one and drew another. An important observation is that Banfield have conceded goals in the two games they have done so far.
 

Chapecoense and Internacional face off at the Condá Arena in a match for the 25th round of the Brasileirão Serie A. Internacional won 3-0 at the last time they faced each other in this edition of the league on 05/22/2018. At this stage, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, which has 3 wins in the last 3 games. In fact, the last time they faced in this stage was in 16-08-2016, in a match for Brasileirão Series A that finished with the victory of Chapecoense by (1-0). The only goal of the match was scored by A. Martinuccio (90 '). In this match the home factor can play an important role, since both teams present significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Analysis of Chapecoense

After 5 wins, 10 draws and 9 losses, the home team is in 16th place, having won 25 points. In the last match, he beat Atletico-PR at home (2-1), after losing 2-0 to Flamengo in the previous game. This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when they play in front of their fans, since in the last 30 matches they have 6 draws and 9 defeats as a visitor, with 7 goals scored and 23 conceded, against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at home with 19 goals scored and 15 conceded. For the championship, Chapecoense had 19 points out of 30, after 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in their last 10 games at their stadium. In the games played in his stadium there are some more frequent results: at the end of the first 45 '0-0 (6 in 11 matches) and at the end of the match 1-1 (4 in 11 matches). Defensive solidity has not been his strong point as he has conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 games but his attack has scored regularly as he has scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches in this competition. In his home games there is a tendency towards goals, since 10 of his last 11 games by the competition finished with More than 1.5 goals. In 24 games in this competition, he suffered the first goal 13 times and only got 2 turns on the scoreboard. There have been 2 periods in the last 11 home games in this competition: he scored 8 of his 16 goals between the minutes (76'-90 ') and 8 of his 16 between (61'-75').

Chapecoense is a club that has not yet won the Brazilian Championship Series A, but has never been relegated to the second division in its history, as well as having a South American Cup title (2016) and a runner-up in the South Cup Winners' Cup -American. In the current season, the team has been making an irregular campaign, winning only 25 of the 72 points played so far in the national competition, thus being quite close to the relegation zone. In the last five games that Chapecoense played as principal, counting only the national championship, in absolutely all of them were scored less than 1.5 goals in the first half. I believe that in this match, by playing against a team with a strong defensive sector and also having a strong defensive sector, Chapecoense will play a few goals, especially in the first half.

Analysis of the International

After 14 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses, the visiting team is in 1st place, having won 49 points. In the last match, he beat Grêmio at home (1-0), having won 2-1 at home against Flamengo in the previous match. This is a stronger team when you play in your stadium, because in the last 30 games you have 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses as a visitor; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat in his stadium. His last game as a visitor to this competition ended with a 0-0 draw against Cruzeiro. In the last 10 away games the International has recorded 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat, having won 19 points out of 30. In his league games as a visitor the most frequent result in the interval was 0-0 (5 out of 12 matches). The defense has been in good shape and has only conceded goals in 2 of the last 10 games, and his attack has regularly scored, as he has managed to achieve in 8 of the last 10 games in this competition. In 24 games in this competition, he only managed 1 turn on the scoreboard in the 4 games in which he conceded the first goal. In the last 12 away games for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: suffered 4 of his 10 goals between minutes (31'-45 ').

Internacional is a club that has three Serie A titles in the Brazilian Championship, the most recent title being won in 1979, in addition to having two Copa Libertadores titles and a Club World Cup, won in 2006. In the current season, the team comes making a very strong campaign within the national championship, winning 49 of the 72 points played so far, thus being able to maintain in the first position, being with the same score that second place. In the last five games that Internacional played as host for the national championship, three of them were scoring less than 1.5 goals in the first half. I believe that in this match, by playing away from home against a team with a strong defense, Internacional will play another game with few goals, especially in the first half.

Corinthians and Sport play in the Corinthians Arena in a match of the 25th round of the Brasileirão Serie A. In the last confrontation between these teams in this competition, on 20-05-2018, the final result was a draw for (1-1). The history of direct bouts played at this stadium favors the home team, which in the last 4 matches has won 4. Actually, in the last confrontation in this stadium, for the Serie A Serie A on 05-08-2017, Corinthians won by (3- 1). The goals of the match were scored by Guilherme Arana (9 '), Rodriguinho (46') and Pedro Henrique (66 ') for Corinthians and Thallyson (83') for Sport. Special attention is needed for the home / off condition, since both teams present significantly different results in their home and away games.

Analysis of Corinthians

After 8 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses, the home team is in 10th place, having won 30 points. In the last match, he lost with Palmeiras away by (1-0), after in the previous game to have lost out in a game against Ceará, by (2-1). This is a stronger team when you play in your stadium, because in the last 30 games you have 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses as a visitor; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in his stadium. The team arrives at this meeting after a draw with Flamengo by (0-0). For the championship, Corinthians won 19 points in 30 chances, after 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in their last 10 games at their stadium. In the matches played in their championship stadium, the most frequent result at the end of the first 45 'was 0-0, which occurred in 6 of their 12 matches. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. In his home games there is a tendency towards few goals, since 11 of his last 12 matches in the competition finished with Less than 2.5 goals. In 24 games in this competition, he suffered the first goal 10 times and only got 1 turn on the scoreboard.

Corinthians is a club that has seven Brazilian Serie A titles, the most recent title being won last year in 2017, as well as three Copa do Brasil titles, one from the Copa Libertadores. In the current season, the team has been making an irregular campaign within the national championship, winning 30 of the 72 points played so far, thus occupying exactly in the middle of the table, six points in front of the relegation zone and eleven points behind the zone of classification for the Copa Libertadores. In the last five games that Corinthians played as principal, counting only the national championship, in four of them were scored less than 1.5 goals in the first half. I believe that in this confrontation, Corinthians, who have been trying to recover inside the league, will play another game with a few to face a team with a weak attack, while Corinthians himself is having difficulties to score.

For this competition, he has recorded a 7-game losing streak in the last games as a visitor and has not won any of the last 8 games outside his home stadium. In the matches played out in the league, the most frequent result at the end of the first 45 'was 0-0, which occurred in 5 of his 12 matches. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 games for this competition. This is a team that scored few times first and only managed to open the scoring in 6 of their last 24 games in the Brasileirão Serie A, of those 6 reached the break in advantage in 4 and won in the late 90 'in 5. In 24 games in this competition, only managed 1 turn on the scoreboard in the 15 games in which he suffered the first goal.

The Sport is a club has only one title of Serie A of the Brazilian Championship, title that won in the controversial year of 1987, and has a title of Series B of the Brazilian Championship, conquered in 1990. In the current season, the team has been campaigning very weak, conquering only 24 of the 72 points played so far by Serie B of the Brazilian Championship, and is still within the relegation zone.

In the last match between these teams in this competition, on 20-05-2018, São Paulo won at home (1-0). The history of direct matches played at this stadium favors the home team, who in the last eight matches won 5, drew 2 and lost 1. Actually, in the last match in this stadium, for Brasileirão Serie A, on 09-07-2017, the Santos won by (3-2). The goals of the match were scored by J. Copete (44 ', 54' and 67 ') for Santos and Shaylon (75') and R. Arboleda (87 ') for Sao Paulo. The home / off condition deserves special attention, since although this is a match between 8º and 2º of the overall standings, this is in fact a confrontation between the 16th place in home games and 1º as a visitor.

Analysis of Santos

After 8 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, the home team is in 8th place, having won 31 points. In the last match, he won the Paraná Clube away by (0-2), after in the previous game to have tied at home, in a game against Grêmio, by (0-0). This is a team little affected by the house factor, that is, it achieves practically the same points at home and away, having won 18 points in its stadium, with 18 goals scored and 9 conceded, against 13 points out, where it scored 10 goals and suffered 14. In the last 10 home games for the championship, Santos have recorded 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, having won 15 points out of 30. In their domestic league games the most frequent marker in the break was 0-0 (4 out of 11 matches). His attack has scored regularly, as he has managed to achieve in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition.

In the current season, the team has been making an irregular campaign, winning 31 of the 69 points played until now being ten points behind the qualifying zone for the preliminary phase of the Copa Libertadores and even more distant from the first placed. In the last five games that Santos played as principal, counting only the national championship, in all of them were scored less than 1.5 goals in the first half. I believe that in this match Santos, who has been recovering since the arrival of Cuca, will make another game as few goals in the first half, as his defensive system has improved and will face a team that has not scored many goals.

Analysis of São Paulo

The visiting team is currently in 2nd place with 49 points, after 14 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, he lost out to Atlético-MG by (1-0). In the last match, he won at home to Bahia by (1-0). This is a team affected by the home factor, having won 19 points as a visitor and 30 in their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 7 goals conceded at home, against 16 goals scored and 12 suffered as a visitor. In the last 10 away games for the championship, São Paulo has 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, having won 17 points out of 30. His attack has scored regularly, as he has managed to achieve in 9 of the last 10 games in this competition. In 24 games in this competition, he suffered the first goal 5 times and only got 1 turn on the scoreboard.

São Paulo is a great champion of Brazilian football, the club has six Brazilian Serie A titles, three Copa Libertadores titles and one FIFA Club World Championship. In the current season of the Brazilian Championship of Series A of 2018, the team has been making a great season, managed to lead the competition for some rounds, lost the lead but is the current vice-leader with the same score of the International leader. The current moment of the team shows a inconstancy in the results, when analyzing its last five results in the competition, we see that were two draws, one defeat and two victories, but there is a pattern of behavior, all these matches had less than 2.5 goals, three of them had less than 1.5 goals, that is, the São Paulo has had a behavior of few goals.

Cruzeiro and Atlético-MG play at the Estadio Governador Magalhães Pinto in a match of the 25th round of the Brasileirão Serie A.

However, the last time they faced in this stadium was in 08-04-2018, in a game by the Miner I that finished with the victory of the Cruise by (2-0). The goals of the match were scored by G. De Arrascaeta (4 ') and Thiago Neves (53') for Cruzeiro. In this match the home factor may play an important role, since Atletico-MG presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Cruzeiro Review

After 8 wins, 9 draws and 7 losses, the home team is in 7th place, having won 33 points. In the last match, they drew with Sport out by (0-0), after in the previous game to have drawn away in a game against Botafogo, for (1-1). This is a team little affected by the house factor, that is, presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 matches has 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses as a visitor, with 12 goals scored and 11 conceded, against 8 victories , 4 draws and 3 home defeats, with 24 goals scored and 12 conceded. In the last game he played for the Brazilian Cup, he beat Palmeiras away (0-1). In the last 10 home games for the championship, Cruzeiro has recorded 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, having won 21 points out of 30. In their home league games the most frequent marker in the break was 0-0 (5 out of 11 matches). The team conceded goals to their opponents in 8 of their last 10 games in this competition, so they have not been very strong defensively. In 24 games in this competition, only managed 2 turns on the board in the 13 games in which he suffered the first goal. There are 2 periods in the last 11 home games in this competition: he scored 7 of his 13 goals in the minutes (61'-75 '); suffered 3 of his 8 goals between the minutes (16'-30 ').

Cruzeiro is a club that has already won the Serie A of the Brazilian Championship four times, with the most recent title being won in 2014, in addition to five Copa do Brasil titles, including last year. In the current season, the team has been doing a relatively good campaign, winning 33 of the 72 points so far, being thus at the top of the table, but far from the first placed. Analyzing the performance of Cruzeiro within the Brazilian Championship, we see that of the 24 games played so far, only one of them had more than three goals. Looking at the performance as principal, of the eleven games played by Cruzeiro at home, in only one were scored more than three goals. I believe that in this confrontation, because it is a classic, Cruzeiro will keep its defense very well posted and will play another game with few goals.
Atlético-MG Analysis

After 12 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, the visiting team is in 5th place, having won 41 points. In the last match, he beat Atletico-PR at home (3-1), having won 1-0 in the home game against Sao Paulo.

In his league games as a visitor, the most frequent result in the break was 1-0 (4 out of 11 matches). His attack has scored regularly, as he has scored goals in 7 of the last 10 games for this competition. In his games as a visitor there is a tendency to score goals, since 8 of his last 11 games in the competition have finished with more than 2.5 goals. In 24 games for Brasileirão Serie A, he suffered the first goal 13 times but managed to turn the score in 4. In the last 11 games for this competition there is a period that stands out: he suffered 7 of his 18 goals between the minutes (76 ' -90 ').

Atletico Mineiro is a club that has a unique title of the Brazilian Championship of the Series A, title that conquered in 1971, besides a title of the Brazil Cup in 2014, a Copa Libertadores in 2013. In the current season of the Brazilian Championship of the Series A of 2018, the team has been making a good campaign, is the current fifth placed with eight points more than his next opponent. Atletico Mineiro has been having alternate results away from home, in the last five games as a visitor the team lost two, drew two and won one, showing a lot of instability. Now we will have a classic, Cruzeiro and Atlético Mineiro, so nobody wants to lose, Atletico Mineiro is well ahead on the leaderboard and a draw can be a great result.

However, in the last match at this stage, in a match for Brasileirão Serie A, on 17-09-2017, Atlético-PR won by (3-1). The goals of the match were scored by Felipe Gedoz (57 '), Ribamar (80') and Jonathan (90 ') for Atlético-PR and Henrique Dourado (45') for Fluminense. Special attention is needed for the home / off condition, since both teams present significantly different results in their home and away games.

Atlético-PR Analysis

The home team is currently in 14th place with 27 points, after 7 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses. In the penultimate match, he lost out to Atlético-MG by (3-1). In the last match, lost out to Chapecoense by (2-1). This is a team affected by the house factor, stronger when you play in front of your fans, since in the last 30 matches you have 1 win, 5 draws and 9 defeats as a visitor, with 10 goals scored and 21 conceded, against 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats at home, with 31 goals scored and 12 conceded. For the championship, Atlético-PR had 19 points out of 30, after 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in their last 10 games at their stadium.

In this competition, he won his last 5 home matches and did not lose any of the last 6 that he played in his stadium. In their domestic league games the most frequent marker in the break was 0-0 (4 out of 11 matches). His attack has scored regularly, as he has managed to achieve in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. In 24 games in this competition, he suffered the first goal 9 times and only got 2 turns on the scoreboard.

Atletico Paranaense is a club that has a Serie A title in the Brazilian Championship, a title won in 2001, as well as having a runner-up in the Copa Libertadores in 2005. In the current season, the team managed to recover within the national championship, leaving the relegation zone, but is still three points ahead of the seventeenth placed, close to the last placed. Playing at home, Atletico Paranaense has been performing quite strong, winning all the last five games that played as host for the national championship and in four of them scored more than 1.5 goals against opponents. I believe that in this confrontation Atletico, which comes from bad results, will start for the attack against Fluminense to seek the goals that will help him to recover inside the championship.

Analysis of Fluminense

After 8 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses, the visiting team is in 9th place, having won 31 points. In the last match, he beat Botafogo at home (1-0), after his previous match drew at home in a game against Vitória (0-0). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when played with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games has recorded 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses as a visitor, with a total of 14 goals scored and 21 conceded. Already inside the home, he won 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, with a total of 18 goals scored and 12 conceded. In the league, Fluminense won 7 points in 30 chances, after 1 win, 4 draws and 5 losses in the last 10 games they played as a visitor. In his league games as a visitor the most frequent result in the interval was 0-0 (5 out of 12 matches). In 24 games in this competition, he only managed 1 turn on the scoreboard in 11 games in which he conceded the first goal.

Fluminense is a Cube that has four Serie A titles in the Brazilian Championship, being the last title won in 2012, in addition to having a Copa do Brasil title in 2007 and a runner-up in the 2008 Copa Libertadores. In the current season, the team has been making an irregular campaign, winning 31 of the 72 points played so far by Serie A of the Brazilian Championship, thus being in the middle of the table, away from the relegation zone and the first placed. Looking at Fluminense's performance as a visitor, we see that in the last five games he played away from home, he only won one and conceded three goals. I believe that in this confrontation Fluminense, for playing against a team that is very strong inside his stadium, will end up again suffering goals, being able to leave also with a defeat.

Betting Tip: 

In this confrontation between Atlético-PR and Fluminense, I believe that the main Atlético-PR team will be able to score one or more goals, since it will have in their favor the home factor, where they usually make great games and win the match, while the Fluminense visitor has difficulties in play away from your stadium and usually
 

Bahia and Palmeiras play in the Fonte Nova Arena in a match of the 25th round of the Brasileirão Serie A. In the last match between these teams in this competition, on 20-05-2018, Palmeiras won at home (3-0). The history of direct matches played in this stadium favors the visiting team, who in the last 3 matches won 2 and drew 1. However, in the last match in this stadium, in a match for the Brazil Cup, on 02-08-2018, did not go beyond a draw for (0-0). It is necessary to analyze with special attention the home / outside condition, since Bahia presents different results at home and abroad.

Analysis of Bahia

After 7 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses, the home team is in 13th place, having won 28 points. In the last match, he lost with Sao Paulo away (1-0), after having won at home in a game against Sport (2-0). This is a stronger team when you play in your stadium, because in the last 30 games you have 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses as a visitor; against 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in his stadium. For the championship, Bahia won 18 points out of 30, after 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in their last 10 games at their stadium. In the matches played in their championship stadium, the most frequent result at the end of the first 45 'was 0-0, which occurred in 6 of their 12 matches. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. In 24 games in this competition, he suffered the first goal 13 times and never managed to turn the score. In the last 12 home games in this competition there are 2 highlights: he scored 8 of his 19 goals in minutes (76'-90 '); suffered 4 of his 11 goals in the minutes (76'-90 ').

Bahia is a club that has already won the Serie A of the Brazilian Championship twice, the most recent title being won in 1988, as well as a Northeast Cup title, won in 2017. This season, the team has been making an irregular campaign, winning 28 of the 72 points played so far, thus occupying the middle of the table, still close to the relegation zone. In the last five games that Bahia played as principal, by the national championship, in three of them the team suffered goals of the opponents. I believe that in this match, when playing against a team that lives a great moment inside the Brasileirão, Bahia, even playing inside their stadium, will again end up suffering one or more goals.

Analysis of the Palmeiras

The visiting team is currently in 3rd place with 46 points, after 13 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, won at home to Atletico-PR by (2-0). In the last match, won at home to Corinthians by (1-0). This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 games has recorded 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses as a visitor, with a total of 20 goals scored and 10 conceded. Already inside the home, won 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, with a total of 26 goals scored and 11 conceded. In the last game he played for the Brazilian Cup, he lost with the Cruzeiro home (0-1). His last game as a visitor to this competition ended with a (1-2) win against Chapecoense. In the last 10 out of the championship, Palmeiras has recorded 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, having won 13 points out of 30. In his league games as a visitor the most frequent result in the interval was 0-0 (5 out of 12 matches). The defense has been in good shape and has only conceded goals in 2 of the last 10 games, and their attack has scored regularly, as it has achieved in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. This is a team that does not usually feel difficult to open the scoring: it scored the first goal in 18 of the last 24 games for Brasileirão Série A, 18 of these reached the interval in advantage in 11 and managed to maintain the advantage until the end of 90 ' in 13.

Palmeiras is a club that has already won nine Brazilian Serie A titles, with the most recent title being won in 2016, as well as three Copa do Brasil titles and a Copa Libertadores Cup, won in 1999. In the current season Brazilian Championship Series A 2018, the team has been making a good campaign, is the current third placed with only three points less than the International leader. Palmeiras has a great time in the competition, four wins in the last five games, and has shown a great defense, conceding only one of the last five games. I believe that Palmeiras will defend very well in this game against Bahia and will manage to score at least one goal.
 

Olympique de Marseille and Guingamp meet at the Stade Vélodrome in a match of the fifth round of Ligue 1. At this stage, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, which has 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 games. In fact, the last time they faced in this stage was in 26-11-2017, in a game for the Ligue 1 that finished with the victory of Olympique de Marseille by (1-0). The only goal of the match was scored by F. Thauvin (31 '). In this match the home factor can play an important role, since Guingamp presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Analysis of Olympique de Marseille

The home team is currently in 5th place with 7 points earned, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they drew at home to Rennes by (2-2). In the last match, he won out to Monaco by (2-3). This is a team that maintains the income when it plays outside its stadium, because in the last 30 games it registers 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses as a visitor; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in his stadium. Olympique de Marseille won 4, drew 2 and lost 4 of their last 10 home games for all competitions. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 3 of the last 4 games, but his attack has been regularly marked as he scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches in this competition.

For this match the team of Olympique de Marseille arrives without defeat two rounds followed by the championship. Acting before his fans he alternated between a victory and a tie, not having suffered defeats. In these conditions he presented an average of 3 goals scored and an average of 1 goal conceded, demonstrating that both sectors worked. Highlight for the offensive. In this confrontation the squad must be aligned in the 4-2-3-1, seeking in this way to defend and attack with precision and also together. Already the highlight of this cast within the league is the striker F. Thauvin with three goals scored so far.

Analysis of Guingamp

The visiting team is currently in 20th place with no points earned after 4 defeats. In the penultimate match, he lost out to Lille by (3-0). In the last match, lost at home to Toulouse by (1-2). This is a stronger team when you play in your stadium, because in the last 30 games you have 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses as a visitor; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in his stadium. In the last 10 games as a visitor Guingamp won 3, drew 3 and lost 4.

For this competition, it registers a sequence of 4 defeats in the last games. The team has not been very strong defensively, as they have always conceded goals in the last 4 games, but their attack has scored regularly, since they managed to achieve in 3 of the last 4 games in this competition.

For this match the lantern Guingamp arrives still seeking its first triumph in the competition. Recalling that within the four disputed rounds, he lost all four of his matches. Acting out of their dominions before their two matches played, in addition to having suffered defeat in both, left and much to be desired in their sectors after scoring on average only 0.50 goals and suffering in average 2.50 goals by duel. In this match the squad must be lined up in the also 4-2-3-1. Already the highlight of the team within the championship is the striker M. Thuram with two goals scored.

Cagliari and Milan play in a duel of the fourth round of Serie A TIM. The history of recent direct clashes is favorable to the visiting team, which has 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 6 games. The last direct confrontation between these two teams, on 01-21-2018, ended Milan's (1-2) win. In this match the home factor could play an important role, since Milan presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Analysis of Cagliari

After 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, the home team is in 12th place, having won 4 points. In the last match, they beat Atalanta by 0-1, after having drawn from home in a 2-0 win against Sassuolo. This is a little affected by the home factor, that is, presents similar results at home and abroad, since in the last 30 matches has recorded 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats as a visitor, with 11 goals scored and 21 conceded, against 5 victories , 3 draws and 7 defeats at home, with 13 goals scored and 21 conceded. Cagliari won 4, drew 3 and lost 3 of their last 10 home games for all competitions. His attack has scored regularly as he has scored goals in 7 of the last 10 games.

Cagliari is a club that has been Serie A champion Tim, this in 1969/70, in addition the club was recently Serie B champion in the 2015/16 season, which brought him again to the elite of Italian football. In the 2017/18 season of Serie A Tim, Cagliari finished in sixteenth place, guaranteeing their permanence in Serie A, but without great presentations. In this season of 2018/19 of Serie A Tim, the team has already made three games where it alternated in a defeat, a tie and a victory, in the same order. Now Cagliari will receive Milan, it is very likely that Milan will score a goal, because in the recent history of clashes this has happened a few times, so we can expect a game of goals.

Analysis of Milan

After 1 victory and 1 loss, the visiting team is in 14th place, having won 3 points. In the last match, they beat Roma 3-1 at home (2-1) after missing out in a match against Napoli (3-2). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when played with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games has recorded 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses as a visitor, with a total of 20 goals scored and 21 conceded. Already inside the home, he won 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, with a total of 21 goals scored and 10 conceded. In the last 10 matches played in all competitions, Milan have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 6. The team conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 games, so their defense needs to improve, but their attack has been regular , having managed to achieve in 8 of the last 10 games. In 15 games, he only managed 1 turn on the scoreboard in the 6 games in which he conceded the first goal.

Milan are a club that has eighteen Serie A titles (Italian League), five Italian Cups, seven Italian Super Cups, seven UEFA Champions League, five UEFA Super Cups, one FIFA Club World Cup, three Intercontinental Cups among other national titles. Despite the history of achievements, Milan has fallen a lot in recent years, being far short of what it once was. In the 2017/18 season of Serie A Tim, Milan finished sixth, now in the 2018/19 season of Serie A Tim, Milan come in the fourteenth place after a defeat and a victory in two games that had several goals. In this next round Milan will visit Cagliari, where in recent history of clashes, has made games with goals for both sides.

Sevilla and Getafe play at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in a duel of the 4th round of the Primera Division. At this stage, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, which has 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 games. However, the last time they met at this stadium was on 28-01-2018, in a match for the Primera Division that ended in a draw for (1-1). The goals of the match were scored by L. Muriel (72 ') for Sevilla and Ángel (90') for Getafe. In this match the home factor may play an important role, since Sevilla presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Analysis of Sevilla

The home team is currently in 5th place with 4 points earned, after 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, tied at home to Villarreal by (0-0). In the last match, lost out to the Betis by (1-0). This is a team that curiously has been stronger outside than at home, because in the last 30 games it registers 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses as a visitor; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in his stadium. In the last 10 home games Sevilla have 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. His attack has scored regularly, as he has achieved in 8 of the last 10 games.

Sevilla come into this game with a 1-0 away defeat to Real Betis. In this confrontation before his fans, we believe that coach Pablo Machín opts for the usual tactical system, that is, 3-4-3, in order to benefit the possession of the ball and organized attacks. Highlight for Pablo Sarabia, player that is fundamental piece in this cast. It is also worth mentioning that this team presents some weaknesses in the defensive stop balls and in the aerial game. The Portuguese André Silva is the best finisher of the team for the championship with 3 goals scored. For this match the coach will not be able to count on Escudero, Mercado and Gonalons, all with physical problems.

Analysis of Getafe

After 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, the visiting team is in 9th place, having won 4 points. In the last match, they drew with Valladolid at home (0-0), after they had won home in a game against Eibar (2-0). This is a team that maintains the income when it plays outside its stadium, because in the last 30 games it registers 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses as a visitor; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in his stadium. His last away game for this competition ended with a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid. In the past 10 games as a visitor Getafe won 7, drew 1 and lost 2. Defensive solidity has been one of their strengths as they only conceded goals in 2 of the last 10 games.

Getafe arrive for this match with a goalless draw in the home against Real Valladolid, thus adding the second game without losing in this Spanish championship. In this confrontation away from home the team commanded by Pepe Bordalás should appear with a low block, in order to exploit in the best way the spaces left by his opponent. It is worth mentioning Francisco Portillo who is the main player in this type of transition. It is important to note that Getafe has a certain competence in standing balls, counterattacks and defensive organization. For this difficult confrontation, the coach can count on all his players.

Betting Tip:

This game has a tendency to be unbalanced, since on one side are Sevilla and on the other Getafe, although not lose two games in this competition. In this way, we believe that this confrontation will be very different from the last games played in this stadium, that is, very open and with several real bids of danger. Given this and taking into account all these factors, opting for Sevilla in this duel should be an option of great value.

 

Valladolid and Alavés play at the José Zorrilla Municipal Stadium in a 4 th round of the Primera Division. At this stage, the record of direct confrontations indicates balance between these two teams, since there was 1 draw and 1 win for each team in the last 3 games. In fact, the last time they faced in this stage was on 08-13-2016, in a game for the Friendly, in which Valladolid only managed to get to the victory, by (3-2), in the tiebreak by penalties. In this match the house factor may play an important role, since Alavés presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Analysis of Valladolid

The home team is currently in 16th place with 2 points earned, after 2 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, he lost at home to Barcelona by (0-1). In the last match, he tied for Getafe by (0-0). This is a team that maintains the income when it plays outside its stadium, because in the last 30 games it registers 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses as a visitor; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in his stadium. For the last 10 home games Valladolid has won 5, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Valladolid is a club that has never been able to be a champion of the Primera Division, having won the Liga Adelante (second national league), conquered three times, the last in 2006/07. Last season, the team finished the Liga Adelante in fifth place and then managed to win the final playoffs to secure access to the Spanish elite. In the last five games that Valladolid played as principal, counting official and friendly competitions, in three of them were scored less than 1.5 goals in the first half. I believe that in this match, by playing against an opponent who does not score many goals, Valladolid will play another game of few goals, especially in the first half.

Analysis of Alaves

The visiting team is currently in 11th place with 4 points earned after 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, tied at home to the Betis by (0-0). In the last match, he won at home to Espanyol by (2-1). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when playing with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games has 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses as a visitor, with a total of 17 goals scored and 22 suffered. Already inside the home, won 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, with a total of 19 goals scored and 13 conceded. His last game as a visitor to this competition ended with a 3-0 defeat by Barcelona. In the last 10 games as a visitor Alavés has won 4, drawn 2 and lost 4. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 games, but his attack has been regularly marked scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Alavés never won a Primera División title, but won the Liga Adelante (2nd Division) on four occasions, the last in 2015/16, giving him access to the Primera Division. In the 2016/17 season of the Primera Division, Alavés finished ninth, in the 2017/18 season Alavés finished in 14th place, now in the 2018/19 season of the Primera Division, after three rounds the team is in the eleventh placing them, the team made their debut against Barcelona 3-0 away, then drew 0-0 at home with Betis and in the last match showed a great reaction when they beat Espanyol 2x1 at home. Now Alavés will visit Valladolid, a team that has been making games with few goals, so far Valladolid has made two 0x0 and one 0x1, showing that it is a team that makes games with few goals.

Empoli and Lazio meet at the Carlo Castellani Stadio in a match of the 4th round of Serie A TIM. The history of direct matches played at this stadium favors the home team, who in the last 3 games won 2 and lost 1. However, in the last match at this stage, for Serie A TIM on 18-02-2017, Lazio won by (1-2). The goals of the match were scored by R. Krunić (67 ') for Empoli and C. Immobile (68') and B. Keita (80 ') for Lazio. In this match the house factor could have a decisive role, because Lazio has presented differences of income in its games at home and as a visitor.

Empoli review

The home team is currently in 8th place, with 4 points earned, after 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, he lost out to Genoa by (2-1). In the last match, tied off to Chievo by (0-0). This is a team that maintains the income when it plays outside of its stadium, because in the last 30 games it registers 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss as a visitor; against 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat in his stadium. Empoli won 5, drew 4 and lost 1 of their last 10 home games for all competitions. His attack has scored regularly as he has scored goals in 7 of the last 10 games.

Empoli enter this motivated game after a 0-0 home draw at the Chievo pitch. The home team tends to play 4-4-2, favoring a faster style of play, with Antonino La Gumina and Francesco Caputo both more advanced. The man responsible for defining and leading his team's attacks is the Slovenian Miha Zajc. The home manager will not be able to count on the injured Antonelli.

Analysis of Lazio

After 1 win and 2 losses, the visiting team is in 16th place, having won 3 points. In the last match, he beat Frosinone at home (1-0), having lost 2-0 in a match against Juventus in the previous match. This is a stronger team when you play in your stadium, because in the last 30 games you have 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses as a visitor; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in his stadium. In the last 10 matches played in all competitions, Lazio won 4, drawn 2 and lost 4. The team allowed their opponents' goals in 7 of the last 10 games, so their defense needs to improve, but their attack has been regular , having managed to achieve in 7 of the last 10 games.

Lazio enter into this clash after a 1-0 win at reception to promoted Frosinone: Luis Alberto has scored all three points for his team. The away team tends to play in a 3-5-2, preferring a faster style of play, with the two most advanced pieces being Immobile and Luis Alberto. The man responsible for defining and leading the attacks of his team is the Serbian Milinkovic-Savic. The visiting coach will not be able to count on Luiz Felipe and Lukaku, players who recover from injury.
Betting Tip: 

The market we recommend for this game is Lazio's victory. We believe that the visiting team will dominate and have the best scoring opportunities, as they have a superior team to the opponents of this round. On the other hand, Empoli shows some flaws in its style of play, which will be fundamental in this confrontation. Checking this bet in favor of the visitors' victory is of great value.

Bordeaux and Nîmes play at the Stade Matmut-Atlantique in a Ligue 1 fifth round match. These two teams have never played before, so this will be their first direct showdown.

Analysis of Bordeaux

After 1 win and 3 losses, the home team is in 19th place, having won 3 points. In the last match, they lost with Rennes away by (2-0), after having won at home in a game against Monaco, by (2-1). In the last 10 home games Bordeaux have 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point as he has conceded at least one goal in each of the last four games in this competition. In 10 games, he only managed 1 turn on the scoreboard in the 4 games in which he conceded the first goal. There are 1 highlights in the last 6 home matches in all competitions: he scored 4 of his 8 goals between the minutes (46'-60 ').

Bordeaux are a club that have already won the Ligue 1 (French Championship) six times, being the most recent title won in the 2008/09 season, in addition to having four Coupe de France titles and one runner-up in the Europa League 1995/96 . Last season, the team finished the national championship in sixth place, with a score very far from the first placed and this season has been a bad start, having won only three of the twelve points already disputed, thus being in the relegation zone. In the last five games that Bordeaux played as principal, counting only the French Championship, in four of them were scored more than 1.5 goals by the teams. I believe that in this match the pattern will repeat itself, as Bordeaux, who score goals regularly, will face an opponent who also scores goals even when playing away from home.

Review of Nîmes

After 2 wins and 2 losses, the visiting team is in 10th place, having won 6 points. In the last match, they lost with Paris Saint Germain at home (2-4), after having lost in the previous match in a game against Toulouse, (1-0). In the past 10 games as a visitor Nîmes won 5, drew 3 and lost 2. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, having conceded at least one goal in each of the last 4 games, but their attack has scored regularity, since he has scored goals in 3 of the last 4 games for this competition.

Nîmes is a club that has never been champion of the Ligue 1 (French 1st Division), but in four seasons managed to be runner-up of the Ligue 1. Nîmes was playing Ligue 2 last season, 2017/18, ended up as vice and won the Ligue 1 season in the 2018/19 season, where he started well, soon in his debut, playing away from home and losing by 3x0, got a historic 3x4 turn. In their second game they beat home the traditional Olympique by 3x1, then lost away from home by 1x0. In his last game lost at home to Paris Saint Germain by 2x4, to be defeated by Paris Saint Germain is totally acceptable, but what caught the attention was the potential offensive of Nîmes, who managed to score two goals at Paris Saint Germain. Now Nîmes will visit Bordeaux, a team that has played at least 2 goals in this 2018/19 Ligue 1 season, so I believe in a game of goals.

Everton and West Ham meet at Goodison Park in a match of the Barclays Premier League's fifth round. At this stage, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, which has 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 6 games. In fact, the last time they played at this stadium was on 29-11-2017, in a game for the Barclays Premier League that ended with Everton's win by (4-0). The goals of the match were scored by W. Rooney (18 ', 28' and 66 ') and A. Williams (78') for Everton. In this match the home factor may play an important role, since Everton presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.

Everton Analysis

After 1 win and 3 draws, the home team is in 7th place, having won 6 points. In their last match, they drew 1-1 with Huddersfield Town (1-1), having drawn 2-2 in a game against Bournemouth in the previous game. This is a stronger team when you play in your stadium, because in the last 30 games you have 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses as a visitor; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in his stadium. Everton won 5, drew 3 and lost 2 of their last 10 home games for all competitions.

In this competition, you do not lose 4 matches. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, as he has conceded at least one goal in each of the last 4 games but his attack has regularly scored as he has scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches in this competition .

Everton is a club that has nine Premier League titles, being the last title won in the 1986/87 season, having five FA Cup titles and nine English Super Cup titles. Last season, the team finished the national championship in the eighth position, away from the top and the relegation zone and this season has been relatively good start, winning six of the twelve points so far, being thus at the top of the table . In the last five games that Everton played as principal, counting only the national championship, in three of them were scored more than 1.5 goals by the teams. I believe that in this match, the pattern will repeat itself, as Everton, who have been scoring goals in all rounds, will again swing their opponents' nets, but may also suffer goals, just as they did before.

Analysis of West Ham

After 4 defeats, the visiting team is in 20th place and has not won any point. In the last match, they lost to Wolverhampton at home (0-1), having lost in a previous game against Arsenal (3-1). This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 games has recorded 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses as a visitor, with a total of 22 goals scored and 32 conceded. Already inside the home, it won 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, with a total of 18 goals scored and 18 conceded. His last away game was for the League Cup and he finished with a 1-1 win against AFC Wimbledon. In the last 10 games as a visitor West Ham won 6, drew 1 and lost 3.

For this competition, it registers a sequence of 4 defeats in the last games. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 4 games for this competition.

West Ham have never won a Barclays Premier League title, but have been twice champions of the Championship (2 Division), three FA Cups, one Super Cup and one UEFA Cup Winner's Cup. West Ham finished thirteenth, now this season, 2018/19 Premier League, the team started very badly, lost all matches so far, ie the team has not yet met in the competition. Now West Ham will visit Everton, a team that has shown offensive potential, but always suffers goals too, I believe we will have a game with more than 1.5 goals scored in this match.

Espanyol and Levante play at RCDE Stadium in a fourth round match of the Primera Division. The history of direct matches played at this stadium favors the home team, who in the last 6 games won 2, drew 3 and lost 1. However, in the last match in this stadium, for the Copa del Rey, 04-01-2018, the Levante won by (1-2). The goals of the match were scored by Gerard Moreno (28 ') for Espanyol and Jose Luis Morales (38') and Ivi López (74 ') for Levante. It is necessary to analyze with special attention the house / off condition, as Espanyol presents different results at home and abroad.

Analysis of Espanyol

The home team is currently in 7th place with 4 points earned after 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, he won at home to Valencia by (2-0). In the last match, lost out to Alavés by (2-1). This is a team that curiously shows more positive results than at home, since in the last 30 matches it has 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats as a visitor, with 24 goals scored and 15 conceded, against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats at home, with 16 goals scored and 13 conceded. Espanyol won 4, drew 4 and lost 2 of their last 10 home games for all competitions. His attack has been marked with great regularity, since he has always scored at least one goal in the last 10 games. In the last 20 home games in all competitions there are 1 periods in the spotlight: he suffered 7 of his 17 goals between minutes (31'-45 ').

Espanyol arrive for this unmotivated match after a 2-1 away defeat by Alavés. The Spanish Iglesias is the player responsible for the main plays of danger, and its highest quality is the finalization. On the other hand, the highest quality of the home team is the counterattacks, being that it has fast players and of great quality in the individual confrontation. For this match the coach will not be able to count on Javi Puado, injured.

Analysis of the Levante

After 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, the visiting team is in 4th place, having won 4 points. In the last match, they drew with Valencia at home (2-2), after having lost at home in a game against Celta de Vigo, (1-2). This is a team that maintains the income when it plays outside its stadium, because in the last 30 games it registers 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in his stadium. His last away game for this competition ended with a win (0-3) against Betis. In the last 10 games as a visitor Levante won 6, drew 1 and lost 3. The team allowed their opponents goals in 9 of the last 10 games, so their defense needs to improve, but their attack has scored with great regularity, since it has scored always at least one goal in the last 10 games.

Levante are sent to this match after a 2-2 home draw against Valencia. We are likely to see the visiting team preferring the right side to attack, in order to take advantage of the depth offered by the right side Coke. Despite being a team that likes to play in their midfield, it can also come out very easily through counterattacks. It is worth mentioning that in the defensive moment, the Levante gives samples of being a very aggressive team, giving little space to its opponents. For this match coach Paco López will not be able to count on Sadiku and Moses Simon, both injured. Coke will also be out because he is suspended.
 

Botafogo and América Mineiro play in a match of the 25th round of the Brasileirão Serie A. In the last confrontation between these teams in this competition, on 20-05-2018, América Mineiro won at home (1-0). The record of direct confrontations of the last 3 years between the two teams could not be more balanced, since there was 1 tie and 2 wins for each team of the last 5 times that they met. Special attention is needed for the home / off condition, since both teams present significantly different results in their home and away games.

Botafogo Analysis

The home team is currently in 15th place with 26 points, after 6 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, he lost out to Grêmio by (4-0). In the last match, they tied at home for Cruzeiro by (1-1). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when you play in front of your fans, since in the last 30 matches you have 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats as a visitor, with 13 goals scored and 27 conceded, against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 home defeats, with 19 goals scored and 15 conceded. For the championship, Botafogo had 19 points in 30 chances, after 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat in the last 10 games he played in his stadium. In his home games there are some frequent scorers at half-time: 1-1 (4 out of 11 matches) and 0-0 (6 out of 11 matches). The team conceded goals to their opponents in 7 of their last 10 games in this competition, so they have not been very strong defensively. In 23 games in the competition, he never managed to turn the board in the 11 games in which he suffered the first goal. There are 1 periods in the last 11 home games in this competition: he suffered 4 of his 8 goals between minutes (31'-45 ').

Botafogo is a club that has already won the Brazilian Championship Series A twice, the most recent title being won in 1995, as well as a Brazilian Championship Series B title in 2015, a 1999 Brazil Cup runner-up and the Cup Winners' Cup South American Championship of 1994. In the current season, the team has been making a bad campaign, winning only 26 of the 72 points played so far, thus occupying the fifteenth position of the national championship, being quite close to the relegation zone. In the last five games that Botafogo played as principal, counting only the national championship, in four of them were scored less than 1.5 goals in the first half. I believe that in this confrontation Botafogo will do another game with few goals, since he will play against a team that has a very strong defensive sector, while Botafogo has not scored many goals.

Analysis América Mineiro

After 7 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses, the visiting team is in 9th place, having won 29 points. In the last match, they lost to Vitória (1-0), after their previous match drew at home in a game against Flamengo by (2-2). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when played with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games has recorded 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 defeats as a visitor, with a total of 9 goals scored and 19 conceded. Already inside the home, won 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, with a total of 19 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the championship, América Mineiro won 7 points in 30 chances, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses in the last 10 games he played as a visitor. In his games as a visitor there are some frequent results: the 0-0 interval (4 in 11 games) and the end of the game 1-0 (5 in 11 games). In their games away to this competition there is a tendency to have few goals, since 6 of the last 11 that disputed finished with Less than 1.5 goals. In 22 games in this competition, he suffered the first goal 10 times and only got 1 turn on the scoreboard. There are 1 highlights in the last 11 matches played as a visitor to this competition: he scored 3 of his 7 goals between minutes (31'-45 ').

América Mineiro is a club that never managed to win the title of the Brazilian Championship of Series A, having as most important titles, two Brazilian Championships of Series B, expired in 1997 and 2007, in addition to a title of Series C of 2009. In the current season of the Brazilian Championship Series A of 2018, the team has been doing a good campaign, above the expected at least, is the eleventh place and has been very strong, at least when it operates in the home, when it acts as visitor team has more difficulties, usually makes games with few goals, but analyzing their last five away games, sometimes back with three points of the opponents' houses, were the cases of victory over Santos by 0x1 and Sport by 0x2, the other three games ended in a 1-0 defeat.

Nantes and Stade de Reims face each other at the Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau in a match of the fifth round of Ligue 1. The history of direct bouts played at this stadium favors the home team, who in the last 3 matches won 1 and drew 2 In the last match at this stage, for Ligue 1 on 22-08-2015, Nantes won by (1-0). E. Lenjani (76 ') scored the only goal of the match. Special attention is needed for the home / off condition, since both teams present significantly different results in their home and away games.

Analysis of Nantes

After 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, the home team is in 16th place, having won 4 points. In the last match, he won off Strasbourg (2-3), after having drawn 1-1 at home in a game against Caen (1-1). This is a team that curiously has been stronger outside than at home, because in the last 30 games it registers 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in his stadium. Nantes won 3, drew 3 and lost 4 of their last 10 home games for all competitions. The team has not been very strong defensively, as they have always conceded goals in the last 4 games, but their attack has scored regularly, since they managed to achieve in 3 of the last 4 games in this competition.

Nantes is a club that has already won Ligue 1 (French Championship) eight times throughout its history, with the most recent title being won in 2000/01, as well as three Coupe de France titles and one Coupe de la France . Last season, the team finished the national championship in ninth place, a long way from the top of the list, while this season they have won only four of the twelve points they have already played and are thus at the bottom of the table. In the last five games that Nantes played as principal, counting only the national championship, in four of them were scored more than 1.5 goals by the teams. I believe that in this match Nantes, who has been scoring goals regularly, will again swing the net and make another exciting game.
Confirmed lineup: C. Tătăruşanu, M. Miazga, E. Kwateng, Diego Carlos, Lucas Lima, Lucas Evangelista, S. Moutoussamy, R. Krhin, V. Rongier, E. Sala, A. Waris.

Analysis of the Stade de Reims

The visiting team is currently in 11th place with 6 points, after 2 wins and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, lost out to Amiens by (4-1). In the last match, lost at home to Montpellier by (0-1). This is a team that curiously has been stronger outside than at home, because in the last 30 games it registers 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses as a visitor; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in his stadium. In the last 10 matches played in all competitions, the Stade de Reims won 7, drew 1 and lost 2. Their attack has scored regularly, as they have managed to achieve in 3 of the last 4 matches in this competition.

The Stade de Reims is a club that has already won Ligue 1 (French Championship) six times in its history, with the most recent title being won in 1961/62, as well as two Coupe de France titles and twice as Vice- champion in the Champions League. Last season, the team finished Ligue 2 with the title and access to the elite of French football, while in this season they have won six of the twelve points already disputed, being thus in the middle part of the table. In the last five games that the Stade de Reims played as a visitor, in four of them were scored more than 1.5 goals by the teams. I believe that in this match, the Stade de Reims, when facing an opponent of the same technical level, can score goals and make a busy game.
Confirmed lineup: E. Mendy, Y. Abdelhamid, T. Foket, B. Engels, G. Konan, M. Cafaro, M. Doumbia, A. Romao, X. Chavalerin, R. Oudin, P. Chavarria.

Betting Tip: 
In this match between Nantes and Stade de Reims, I believe we will have more than 1.5 goals for the teams, as both teams have effective attacks, managing to score even when it does not play so well and leaves with poor results. In addition, in all six games between the teams at home in Nantes, four of them have scored more than 1.5 goals for the teams, showing that they tend to make busy games.

Werder Bremen and Nuremberg play for the Weserstadion in a Bundesliga third round matchup. There is no recent record of direct clashes between the two teams, who have not played any matches in the last 3 years. The last time they faced was on 08-03-2014 in a match that ended with the final result: Nuremberg (0-2) Werder Bremen. Special attention is needed for the home / off condition, since both teams present significantly different results in their home and away games.

Analysis of Werder Bremen

Currently in 7th place, the home team has won 4 points so far. In the first round they drew at home with Hannover for (1-1). In the next round, the final result was a win for (1-2) in the visit to Eintracht Frankfurt. This is a team that curiously has been stronger outside than at home, because in the last 30 games it registers 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses as a visitor; against 5 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses in his stadium. The team arrives at this meeting after a home defeat with Emmen by (1-2). Werder Bremen won 1, drew 6 and lost 3 of their last 10 home games for all competitions. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 games, but his attack has scored regularly as he has scored goals in 8 of the last 10 games.

Werder Bremen enter into this motivated game after a 5-2 win in a friendly against Meppen. Werder Bremen are a team that enjoys acting in their midfield, with the goal of trying to surprise the opponents in the exits for the counterattack. It is worth mentioning that the home club has some flaws, especially in the air moves, which is where the team often compromises their results. The home club is usually in a 4-3-3, where the three most advanced pieces are Osako, Kruse and Harnik. The manager of the house will not be able to count on Jóhannsson, Bartels, Kauper, Drobny, Zetterer, Kapino and Pavlenka for being injured.
Confirmed lineup: J. Pavlenka, M. Veljkovic, T. Gebre Selassie, N. Moisander, L. Augustinsson, M. Eggestein, P. Bargfrede, D. Klaassen, M. Kruse, Y. Ōsako, M. Harnik.
Technician: F. Kohfeldt.

Analysis of Nuremberg

The away team is currently in 13th place with 1 point earned. In his debut lost out to Hertha Berlin by (1-0). In the second round, they tied home to Mainz for (1-1). This is a team that curiously shows more positive results than at home, since in the last 30 games it has recorded 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses as a visitor, with a total of 27 goals scored and 9 conceded. Already inside the home, it won 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, with a total of 24 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 10 matches played in all competitions, Nuremberg have won 6, drawn 2 and lost 2. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point as they conceded in 7 of the last 10 games but their attack has been marked with regularity, since he scored goals in 8 of the last 10 games.

Nuremberg enters this game after a 1-1 draw at home to the Mainz. Similar to the opponent of this round, the Nuremberg plays on a tactical system in 4-3-3. In this drawing, the three most advanced players are Kubo, Ishak and Palacios. Thus, from outside the home, the visiting team is prevented from choosing to adopt a more defensive strategy, in order not to grant much space to its opponent. Coach Michael Kollner will not be able to count on Ewerton for being injured.

Confirmed lineup: F. Bredlow, G. Margreitter, E. Valentini, L. Mühl, T. Leibold, A. Fuchs, O. Petrak, H. Behrens, M. Ishak, Matheus Pereira, Y. Kubo.
