Best three-fold picks for Wednesday
The football season gradually narrows down, and more rounds of football matches are being played across the world.
We have selected three matches punters can bank on after extensive and painstaking analysis.
MAN CITY TO PRODUCE A RESPONSE AGAINST THE MAGPIES.
The Citizens host Newcastle United on Wednesday night with the hope of strengthen their position on the League table.
Newcastle have been brilliant since the restart of the league and are on a six-match unbeaten streak in the league winning four times, and drawing twice, a run which have ensured they won’t be in a relegation fight in coming weeks.
Pep Guardiola’s men were surprisingly beaten in their last match against Southampton after humiliating Liverpool earlier on. Noteworthy is the fact that their best player Kevin De Bruyne did not start that game, and City have often suffered in his absence.
The Magpies on the other hand will want to show that their impressive form is not a fluke, and will hope to produce a statement performance against Manchester City.
Both teams have met twice this season, the corresponding fixture in the league in which a 2-2 stalemate was played and in the FA cup after the season restart which Man city won 2-0.
Expect the Citizens to have no problem at all, seeing off the Steve Bruce’s men in the match, but it is expected that Newcastle will find the back of City’s net whose defence have not been top-notch this campaign.
This leads us to go for the BTTS pick which is priced at 2.48 odd on 1xbet. However, expect a positive performance from Man City as they should have no problem seeing off the Magpies.
Man city to win and BTTS is priced at 2.87 odds on bet365 and this should come good for punters.
GOAL FEST AT CAMP NOU.
Lionel Messi and Co. know there can be no chance for any slip up in the league any more has the battle for the La Liga title is entering its decisive stage.
Espanyol are unlikely to create any problem for a Barca side who go into this match after a emphatic 4-1 victory over a brilliant Villarreal side.
However, Espanyol know they will be relegated from the league for the first time since 1994 and will give their all in this match. The reverse fixture of this match was a 2-2 draw earlier this season.
This match is of high significance at both ends of the table, while Barcelona will want to pile more pressure on Real, Espanyol will be seeking to escape relegation.
While Espanyol will be seeking to derail Barcelona, we expect Setien’s boys to win this match with ease which leads us to our first pick at -2 handicap priced at 1.96 odd on Bet9ja.
Also, it is expected that Barcelona will keep a clean sheet as Espanyol are coming off the back of a 1-0 loss to fellow strugglers Leganes, so we expect their attack not to verily trouble Barcelona.
NG is priced at 1.57 odds also on Bet9ja.
Generally, we expect a routine win from Barcelona going into this match, and we are backing a high scoring match with Barcelona doing the scoring, with more than two goals being scored. Over 2.5 is priced at 1.40 odds by the same firm.
ROMA TO BOUNCE BACK
Roma and Parma will both be looking to end a three match unbeaten run respectively when they meet at the Stadio Olimpico Stadium.
Roma knows anything short of a win will see them go further down the league table, and will be desperate to bounce back after a bad run.
It helps that Roma are facing a Parma side who they have a good H2H record over, especially at this venue where La Lupa have been massively superior, that they are unbeaten by Parma at their home since 1997, as such, expect Roma to secure the much needed three points.
The last fixture saw Fonseca’s men winning 2-0 away from home, and the reverse fixture saw Parma beat Roma bu the same scoreline. Roma have also scored two or more goals in eight of the preceding ten games.
As things stand, Roma are the favorites for the day, and are rightly backed at odds of 1.57 by Bet365.
However, Parma will hope to put an end to a bad run of their own and will pose a serious challenge to Roma, so we back them to get on the scoresheet, with Bet9ja prizing the BTTS option at 1.51 odds.
