All Predictions

Girona and Almeria will play in a match for playoffs promotion. This is a semi-final between these 2 teams, while another semi-final is Leganes with Rayo Vallecano.

Girona has had a strong season so far, finishing in 5th place with 20 wins, 11 draws, and 11 losses from a total of 42 games. The team got in shape, especially in its last matches, recording 7 consecutive victories since April 14 and only one draw. Definitely a well-deserved entry into the playoffs, but now difficult matches are ahead and with a good performance here and a victory, we can easily see Girona in the final. In their last 3 home games against Almeria, they have recorded 2 wins and 1 loss. In general, the matches are low-scoring, with most of them under 2.5 goals. Statistics show that the team is in very good shape and is unbeaten in 13 of its last 14 games in the Second Division.

Almeria has 2 more points than Girona in the standings and taking 4th place. After a strong series in the middle of the season, the team slowed down and here they are faced with the task of mobilizing and showing that it is no coincidence that he has qualified for the playoff zone. The guests in this match have a large number of draws, especially at the end of the season, but rarely lose. Statistics show that the team is undefeated at halftime in its last 16 games. All the last 5 matches between these two teams have ended x at halftime. Almeria will probably try to take the victory, but they are facing a team that is in very good shape and has a slight advantage in direct matches. We will see what will happen in this match and who will continue to the final after the end of the match on June 2, 2021. Although I find it difficult to believe that Girona can take this match and face the second team finalist in the playoffs.

Prediction – home win – 2.73 from 22bet

Manchester City and Chelsea will play in a final of Champions League 2020/2021 year at stadium Estadio Do Drago in Portio.

Manchester City ended a very strong season in the Premiership, securing the championship a few games before the end. The final standings speak of City’s performance, as they finished with a 12-point lead over second-placed Manchester United. Now all efforts are focused on the final, and for a long time Manchester City is trying to take this trophy, but still, something is missing. Here we will witness an English final, as both teams know each other well enough to have some big surprises. Coach Pep Guardiola’s players have a very good chance to win this cup, because, in addition to great players and good form, they have shown that they are one of the strongest teams at the moment. On the way to the final, the team did not face many difficulties and coped with teams such as Borussia Monchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund, and PSG. Despite Manchester City’s better performance, they should not underestimate this match if they want to win the title, as in their last two games they recorded two losses, one in the FA Cup and the other in the Premier League. However, the City team has better players, in better shape and it is no coincidence that it is a favorite in the bookmakers.

Chelsea reached 4th place in the Premiership, but with a lot of luck, because of their last 4 games, they had 3 losses. The team lost the Fa Cup match against Leicester, then relied on the chance that was on their side and after losing the „foxes“ to Tottenham, they ranked 4th and will play again in the Champions League next season, regardless of the final score in this match. However, Chelsea has a young and still underplayed team and although it offers high-level football, they still need time to reach the level of the top teams. The Londoners play aggressively in most of their matches and mainly on counterattacks, watching for the opponent’s mistakes. Manchester City, however, is the more experienced team, with an already built and played team, and is unlikely to allow many surprises. In this match, I think that Manchester City will win, although difficult this final.

Prediction – home win – 1.86 from 22bet

CSKA 1948 and Ludogoretz will play in Round 31 of the Bulgarian Football Championship, called Efbet League. Both teams are at first 6 and will try to get smth for this match. Kudogoretz is the leader at the moment, while CSKA 1948 ranked at 5th place in general standing.

CSKA 1948 is in 5th place, leading over Beroe, but at the same time it would be difficult to qualify for the places entitling to participate in Euro tournaments. However, we can say that the season was successful and the players of coach Todor Kiselichkov got valuable points from teams like Loko Plovdiv and CSKA. Against their famous opponent, they won 1-0, and against the Smurfs drew. In their last 5 matches, CSKA 1948 has not lost, and the team has a solid defense. Here, however, we can look at the statistics and see that despite the fact that they often do not concede a goal, they know how to score. In a match against Botev they made 5:0, and against Slavia and Etar 5:1, results which show that the team manages to score quite a few goals.

Ludogorets are still in high spirits and will probably come out with confidence in this match of champions. the team leads firmly in the standings, as the difference with the 2nd is 10 points. Lokomotiv Plovdiv and CSKA tried to catch up with Razgrad during the season, but this did not happen and in this match, the guests will play quite freely, without pursuing great ambitions, but rather to beat the team. In our matches so far with CSKA 1948, we see results such as 4:0 and 3:0 in favor of Razgrad, which leads to the conclusion that they play successfully against them and have not even conceded a goal in both games this season. We had mentioned above about the good defense of the hosts, but against Ludogorets this obviously does not happen and the attackers easily reach goal positions and score quite a few goals. Ludogorets have not very stable defense, which is evident from the results in recent matches but compensates with great strikers who know how to score, so I expect more than 2 goals in this match.

Prediction – over 2.5 – 1.82 from 22bet

Levante and Cadiz will play in a match of the Primera division this Friday. Both teams are safe from relegation in the Segunda division, so will play without stress and mainly for prestige.

Levante has escaped relegation, with 7 points more than Elche and Huesca, for whom it is still unclear whether they will remain in the Primera or play in the Segunda Division next season. The hosts have slowed down the last matches and the statistics show draws and losses, and the team has not won since April 10 this year, when it took 3 points and recorded 1:0 against Eibar as a guest. A match in which Levante will try to please his fans, as here the ambitions are for a higher ranking, and this is possible given the fact that Valencia is 2 points more than them, and Cadiz is 3, so it is possible a shift occurred after this last round in the Primera Division.

Cadiz is in 12th place in the standings. The team has 43 points from 37 games played, and from its last 5 matches, it has 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. So far, Cadiz and Levante have played nine games against each other. Levante won four matches, while five matches ended in a draw between the two Spanish teams. Alex Fernandez will probably not be in the first team, and Salvi Sanchez is out with a calf injury. Defenders Carlos Acapo and Juan Cala are also recovering, but there are still reserves to fill the starting lineup. Cadiz will also try to take something from the match, but it is far from the places for the Europa League, so I expect a calm and stress-free match in which both teams can score a goal.

Prediction – both teams to score – 1.55 from 22bet

Newcastle and Manchester City will play in the Premiership of England, 3 rounds before the end of the championship. The hosts are now calm about their survival, while Manchester City is the new champion and finishes the season. Newcastle have 39 points and the difference with Fulham, which is below the relegation line is 12 points, so by the end of the season, the team will try to rank higher. Under good circumstances, they can overtake Burnley, who have the same number of points as them, and why not Southampton and Crystal Palace, respectively, 1 and 2 points more than Newcastle.

The team has something to play for, but the most important thing for them is that they managed to save themselves and now they will approach this match more confidently and calmly. Apart from points, the match is also about prestige, as they face the new Premier League champion for this season. The semi-matches have improved the form of the hosts, as they recorded victories against Leicester, West Ham and Burnley. I guess in this match they will perform at a good level and will be able to score a goal. Manchester City is the champion, and despite the loss to Chelsea, Manchester United also made a wrong step and so 3 games before the end of the season City leads convincingly with 10 points. The leader Manchester City finish the season, preparing mainly for the Champions League final on May 29 in Istanbul. This will be the main goal for them and I think they will not put theirs top players in starter team in this match. 

Prediction – both teams to score – 1.94 from 22bet

Olympiacos and PAOK will meet in a match of the Greek Super League at the end of this season. The hosts are first and according to the points asset they have already taking the championship title, while PAOK are second, and they will have to earn more points to keep their place in the league.

Olympiacos has played quite strong matches so far, currently leading by 20 points over the second, and the statistics of 26 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses speaks of a really good performance. The team recorded 8 consecutive victories at the beginning of the year, and from its last 5 matches has 3 wins and 2 draws. Definitely a strong season, and this match with PAOK is not so important for them in terms of points as for prestige. At my own stadium I expect the hosts to show their class and delight their fans with beautiful football.

PAOK, unlike the leader, needs additional points to maintain the second position in the standings. The team has 64 points, 5 more than Aris and 6 more than AEK. These are the teams that will fight for first and second place, with less chances are Panathinaikos, which are in 5th place and lag behind Aris by 7 points. In view of the ranking, PAOK will have to give its best in this match, as the competition is not so far away and in the remaining few matches they will try to add new points to their assets and keep this 2nd position. I think that PAOK has the strength to finish 2nd and secure a place in the playoffs for the Europa League. My prediction is for a victory for PAOK or a draw.

Prediction – X2 – 1.91 from 22bet

Basel and Lugano meet for the match of the 34th round of the Swiss Super League. There are 3 rounds left until the end of this season, so each team tries to take the maximum number of points and fight for the leading places. Basel will defend the 2nd place, as the champion is already clear and this is Young Boys. Lugano will have to fight for 3 points in the remaining 3 games to be calm for his stay in the league. Currently, the guests are 6th and have a lead of 7 points from the relegation line. Basel failed to compete for the title this season, as the strong matches of Young Boys left the competition behind. Basel will fight Servette for the 2nd place, as both teams have 47 points and here this match is very important for them, and the 4th Lucerne also has the opportunity to qualify in the 3rd, as is only 2 points behind Basel and Servette.

Lugano feels calmer after the victories over St. Gallen, Basel, Zion, but in his last half he recorded several losses, and he is still not saved from relegation, but he leads with a solid lead, given the remaining 3 rounds. In this match, I think the guests will try to take something from the match, but this will not be an easy task, against the 2nd Basel, which defends its position in the remaining rounds.

Prediction – 1 – 1.875 from 22bet

Genk and Brugge will play in a derby on Friday, trying to get important points in Playoffs. Genk are already in second place, which entitles them to qualify for the Champions League, but Anderlecht and Anterpen are behind them by a point less.

Bruges is in first place with 8 points more than his opponent in this match and it seems that he will be able to fight for the lead and, accordingly, for the right to direct promotion to the Champions League. Genk is 2nd with 31 points, and has won 4 of its last 5 games. We can say that they made a good start in the playoffs with a 3: 2 victory over Antwerp with great merit on the left wing of Genk – Bologna, which scored again. Genk must try to take valuable points from the leader, and this is quite possible in view of the good form of the team and the fact that Bruges leads by a considerable margin. We will hardly see Bruges now in much in last games, but I guess both teams will play offensively and a goal match will be possible. The hosts will try to keep the second place and try to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Bruges are currently the leaders with 39 points, and the lead is solid for the playoffs, but this should not reassure them much. Brian Heinen is returning from injury, which is good news for them. In their last 5 matches Bruges have recorded 2 victories and it seems that they have slowed down, but at the same time there is a great result. In their last 2 games, the team has scored 6 goals.

Prediction – over 2.5 – 1.57 from 22bet

AEK and PAOK will enter the Round 33 of Superleague in Greece, as both teams trying to finishe in top 3. The 2nd and 3rd place giving the chnce for playing at League Europe, so I think this will be the main aim, while leader has 24 points advantage and already become a champion this season.

AEK is in 4th place in the league, as it is divided into 2 parts, with 6 teams in the first and 8 in the second, including two places for relegation teams. The first team in the Super League has the right to play in the Champions League next season, and the second and third in the Europa League. AEK will try to climb to 3rd place, and for this purpose must take 3 valuable points in this match, against a direct opponent, as in case of loss the chances will be very small. The team currently has 55 points and in case of victory will equalize the point assets with PAOK. Four games before the end of the championship, the hosts have every opportunity to qualify for a higher position, and here I guess the fact that they will play at their stadium would also be an advantage.

PAOK are 3rd at the moment, with the same number of points as the 2nd Aris. The first place is very far from them, as we can safely say that the new champion of Greece in the Premier League is Olympiacos with a lead of 24 points over the second and third. Paok, in my opinion, will try to keep the 3rd position or climb to the 2nd place and play next season in the Europa League.

Prediction – both teams to score – 1.70 from 22bet

Luton and Rotherham will play in a match of Championship this Thuesday. Luton is at the middlw of the table, while guests trying to survive and has a place in Championship next season.

Luton is in 12th place in General ranking with 61 points, the difference from the playoff zone is 16 points and the relegation zone is 21 points behind them, so the team will probably stay in the middle of the standings without any more ambitions this season. There is still a chance for a few places ahead given the close point asset with Millwall, Middlesbrough and Q.P.R, as well as the advantage of a game less. The players of coach Nathan Jones have recorded good form in the last matches and 5 games without a loss. It is noteworthy that the team started very strongly at the beginning of the season, as in 5 games there were 5 wins, then there were periods of not very good results, but we can say a good performance so far at Luton, who will play the last two games and will think for the new season of the Championship. Rotherham are 22nd in the standings, with the team having an advantage of one game less than their rivals.

The guests from Rotherham in this match will try to earn valuable 3 points and reach the coveted 21st place, which gives the right to participate in the next season in the league. They are currently below the line of the remaining teams, but they are separated by 3 points from Darby, and if successful today, they will score 43 points, as much as Darby has. The battle here will be between these two teams, as Rotherham has a slightly weaker goal difference than his opponent. The midfielder has a match with Cardiff, who do not have the opportunity for the playoffs, so it remains to be seen whether Rotherham will be able to stay in the division. I think there will be goals here, and I think the guests can take the match. I will prefer, however, a goal prediction in this game.
