Qadesh

Even though India is not the favorites for this game, I am still going with them. Bahrain has not been performing that well, whereas India has shown in this tournament that they have what it takes to fight.

I believe that this will be one of the more interesting games in the tournament, and India should get all three points. 

The Asian Cup is definitely difficult to predict. However, for this particular game, I am willing to go with the UAE for both three points and scoring at least a couple of goals.

The situation in a group is interesting, but after it is over, there should be a clear difference between the quality of teams participating. And in this particular case, expecting the United Arab Emirates to get everything from the game is not an exaggeration. 

Cup games are always a bit tricky. Nevertheless, looking at how these two teams are performing in the league so far, it would not be a stretch to expect Atalanta victory.

Despite the fact that they are playing away, I am still willing to bet that they have a better lineup and will not look to rest key players because there was a winter break.

Madrid has had quite a lot of problems. Real Betis seems to be overperforming in terms of how well they are in terms of the points.

This game will be in the Betis home turf, giving them an advantage. Madrid has plenty of injury problems, and they have had one of the worst starts to the season (if you can even call this start anymore).

It might be a bit of a stretch, but I believe that betting against Madrid as they are now is extremely valuable. And this is the game that might be the best for just that.

The most interesting game of the weekend, no doubt about it. Tottenham has been fighting for the title the last couple of weeks and will look to improve their position even more. Meanwhile, Man Utd has been on a surge ever since they appointed OGS.

However, this will be a different opponent compared to what they have faced before this game. If the game was at Old Trafford, I would likely go for Man Utd. But it appears that Tottenham is one of the forces that cannot be stopped right now. It should be a spectacle for football fans worldwide, and I predict that Spurs will be the ones to get three points here.

Everton has had a couple of hiccups here and there. However, looking at their overall form, it would appear that they are a stronger team than Bournemouth.

These types of games are difficult to predict, and often tend to come down to the smallest details. However, I am willing to go with Everton because they look to be a better side on paper, and are playing at home. Moreover, Bournemouth has not had that great of a run in their recent games.

Monaco is having one of the worst seasons ever. Meanwhile, Marseille seems to be doing quite great. They will likely look to fight for that European spot.

Monaco, on the other hand, are in a relegation zone, which is definitely one of the biggest surprises in the European football this season. 

Looking at the results of the most recent games and where the teams are standing right now, it would not be a stretch to expect Marseille win here. Not to mention that they are playing at home. 

Both teams are on a decent run of games. Hull has lost their most recent match away at Millwall, but that was to be expected. However, they have won plenty of games in a row before this game.

Sheffield is a team that had mostly draws recently. 

The table standings favor Hull. On top of that, they are playing at home, which is always considered a big advantage. Looking at all these factors, it would appear that Hull City is the likelier team of the two to get all three points from this game. 

Even though Alaves is playing away, looking at the table, they have an upper hand over the opposition. 

Moreover, if you look at the most recent results, Girona has draws and losses, whereas Deportivo had won two of their last three games.

Some would argue that Girona has an advantage because they are playing at home. However, the recent form and the momentum is in favor of the away side. And that is why I am willing to go with them as a winner.

The difference between these two teams is quite big. Also, if you take into consideration how the first match went for both squads, it should be obvious who is more likely to be getting all three points here.

On top of all that, Saudi Arabia has scored quite a few goals in their opener, whereas Lebanon had more than enough problems defensively. 

Taking into consideration everything above, this bet should be quite safe.

I am going with Leicester for a couple of reasons. The first one is obvious - they are playing at home. Secondly, they look to have a better squad on paper and will look to overcome their opposition with the players they have. Finally, the difference between these two teams in the table is quite big. A gap appears to be increasing, as Southampton continues to be in a relegation battle. Meanwhile, Leicester is comfortably in the mid of the table.

 

This London derby should be quite interesting. West Ham has been doing quite well recently. Arsenal, on the other hand, had some negative results. However, despite all that has happened in the last couple of games, I am still willing to go with the away team for this game.

Arsenal has a much better lineup on paper, and even though we will not see a lot of new signings from them this January (if any), they are still more than capable of fighting for the top four spot. 

 

The difference between these two teams is definitely there. Even though Lille is away for the match, they are in a much better spot in the table, and they have had a great run of games in the league recently. Meanwhile, the same cannot be said about their opponents.

Lille is fighting for a spot in the Champions League this season, and they will look to get all three points from this game. It is a good opportunity to solidify their position and increase the odds of finishing this season on a very high note. 

AFC Asian Cup is one of the more difficult competitions to predict. However, I am willing to bet on Saudi Arabia scoring at least a couple of goals this game and overcoming their opposition.

The difference between these two teams is definitely there. Saudi Arabia has played in the World Cup, which in itself shows that they are a better side. Moreover, the past results also are in favor of the "home" side.

The match is very difficult to predict, especially given how unpredictable the lineups will be. Since Tottenham is up against Man Utd on the weekend, they will likely take a more conservative approach to the game. However, this is a good opportunity to end up in a final and challenge for a trophy.

Overall, between these two teams, Tottenham has been more solid and consistent. Chelsea has had a good game here and there, but they have a lot of problems up front. 

Tottenham is also a home team, so I am willing to go with them for this match. 

Nothing much to talk about for this game. Looking at the run of both teams, Moreirense definitely has the edge. Moreover, the standings in the table say more than anything else.

Despite Aves winning the first game of the season, I still have to go with the home side. That game was a bit of a fluke in my opinion, and it will definitely not end up repeating itself. 

Even though Bilbao has a better form in terms of wins and draws compared to their opposition, I am still willing to go with Celta. They have a better lineup on paper, are playing at home, and if you compare the standings between the two teams, Bilbao is in a relegation zone at the moment.

All in all, it will likely be a game that ends up having one or two goals at most. And as most would probably guess, Celta is the likelier team to get all three points from the match. 

Asian Cup might not attract as many viewers as other competitions, but it still has plenty of great things.

Comparing the two teams, China definitely has the advantage. I do not follow these games that much but I am willing to bet that Chinese will have a somewhat easy win and score at least a couple of goals.

Real Madrid is having one of the worst seasons in La Liga. And this is not just about what is happening on the pitch. There are a lot of problems outside that, starting with manager and players who are injured. Not to mention that quite a few are underperforming this season.

The last game was a draw against Villareal. Madrid needs to get back in winning ways and get some momentum. Playing at home against Real Sociedad is a great opportunity to achieve that. 

Not that much to talk about for this game. The FA Cup tends to favor teams which have better squads on paper and/or are playing at home.

In this particular case, both these factors are in favor of Preston. They are the team which is more likely to get to the next round.
