Atalanta vs Napoli Match Preview and Prediction

By John
Image
Serie A's (SA) top two collide at the Gewiss Stadium as Atalanta welcome runaway leaders Napoli to Bergamo. The absence of European football has helped La Dea to their best-ever points total at this stage of a season (27), yet they still trail the league leaders by five points. Gian Piero Gasperini's men responded to their first defeat of the season with a 2-0 victory at Empoli last time out, and have had a full week on the training pitch to prepare for this showdown. Home form has been a serious issue for Atalanta in 2022, winning just four SA games on their own turf this calendar year (D7, L5). Welcoming Napoli is hardly likely to inspire confidence among the home faithful, given they've seen their side lose four of the last seven SA H2Hs on their own soil, including a 3-1 defeat here in April, a trend they'll have to buck to close the gap at the top of the division. Napoli travel north on the back of their first defeat in any competition since April, as Liverpool end...

Benfica Vs Juventus Match Preview and Prediction

By John
Image
This is a pivotal UEFA Champions League (UCL) clash for both Benfica and Juventus, with the hosts in the driving seat. Coming into the round, they are top and level with Paris Saint-Germain on eight points meaning a win would guarantee a top-two finish in Group H, though a draw would also suffice if Maccabi Haifa fail to overcome PSG at the Parc des Princes. However, there is no doubt that the Portuguese outfit will be backing themselves to get the job done without help from others, especially considering the form they are in. Benfica's last competitive defeat came back in May against Porto, which was a loss they avenged this past weekend after beating their title rivals 1-0 in domestic action, extending their unbeaten competitive run to 20 matches (W17, D3). They also boast a formidable home record in Europe, losing just three of their last 23 outings (W14, D6) at the Estádio da Luz. That will be a concern for visiting Juventus whose Champions League ambitions are hanging by a thr...

Antwerp ATP Order of Play

  Dominic Thiem saved three match points today as he defeated Hubert Hurkacz in three sets, he will face Sebastian Korda who defeated Yoshihito Nishioka to reach this stage. Thiem has finally gotten his form back and we have seen the way he's been playing over a few weeks, tomorrow is another test for him, facing Korda who has been top notch in recent times, Korda reached the finals of the Gijon Open last week in the same competition Thiem participated in. Can he make it two finals in two weeks? We will know when they play against each other by 15:30 GMT. The second semi final of the day will see Richard Gasquet go head to head vs Felix Auger-Alliasime. Felix had a thought match today vs Daniel Evans and he had to wait for the third set before he could win. Gasquet was able to beat Goffin in two sets yesterday but he won't be having that type of match up when he faces Felix by 17:30 GMT tomorrow. Felix needs this match most as he's in the race to the ATP finals in Turin, w...

Basel ATP Order of Play

Carloz Alcaraz is set to play Felix Auger-Alliaime by 14:30 GMT, it has being quite an open for both players, they've had easy opponents to face and today is the first big test for each of them. Today's game will be the third time they'll face each other, Felix has won in the former two encounters against Carlos. Today's match will be a different one, Carlos has been playing very well so I don't expect Felix to have an easy ride. Felix's form is another thing to consider, he won two 250-ATP titles in the past two weeks. Today's match will see a lot of shot making. The best player among the two will win for sure. Maybe Alcaraz will get his first win today.  The other match up today is between Holger Rune and Roberto Bautista-Agut. Just yesterday, Bautista defeated home favorite Stan Wawrinka in a grueling encounter. He has been in his best form in this tournament, exceeding my expectation, today's match will be much more grueling for him, Rune has been on...

Real Sociedad vs Manchester United Match Preview and Prediction

By John

 More European football beckons for both Real Sociedad and Manchester United, but there will still be plenty on the line when these two clubs meet in San Sebastián for the first time since 2013, and two seasons after a Bruno Fernandes masterclass in Turin saw United dump Sociedad out of the UEFA Europa League (UEL) in the Round of 32. After finishing second in each of their last three group stages at this level, Sociedad have a fantastic chance of going one better in this final round courtesy of being the only club in this UEL group stage with maximum points, which included a 1-0 win at Old Trafford. That means they can even settle for a draw in this match to clinch a place in the last 16 of a UEFA event for the first time in nearly 20 years. Surprise La Liga losses to Getafe and Valladolid have not derailed their UEL journey in previous weeks, so falling 2-0 at home to Betis at the weekend should not shake them. Manchester United again vindicated the declaration of rival boss Pep ...
