AFCON Match Preview : Ivory Coast v Togo

naijabet.comDefending champions Ivory Coast begin the defence of their Afcon title with a game against West African rivals Togo on Monday.

The Ivorians defeated Ghana on penalties in the last edition to nick their second ever title and put to rest the perception that the ‘golden generation’ would never lift a trophy.

One of the continent’s in-form sides, Ivory Coast will look to start on a bright note by defeating Togo, who is led by Claude Leroy, a veteran of the Africa Cup of Nations. Place your bet on NaijaBet.com

Togo have the talismanic Emmanuel Adebayor in their squad, even though there will be concerns as regards his fitness as he hasn’t played any competitive football in nine month.

Europa Match Preview : Zorya vs Manchester United

naijabet.com

Manchester United have not won successive games in all competitions since September and their failure to put a run of wins together is undermining all of their good performances.

They only need to avoid defeat here to qualify for the next stage of the competition and can even lose and go through if Feyenoord fail to beat Fenerbahce.

Zorya are fourth and cannot improve on their position. They have failed to win any of their last six in all competitions but have drawn each of their two home matches in the competitions thus far.

United are unbeaten in seven matches against Ukrainian opposition but this has all the hallmarks of a scrappy game. United have lost each of their last five away matches in the Europa League, which should give some hope to Zorya. Place you bet on Naijabet.com

Team News

Zorya – Eduard Sobol is suspended after being sent off against Fenerbahce last time out in the Europa League. Grygory Yarmash or Artem Sukhotsky could deputise in his absence at left-back.

Match Preview : Liverpool vs Watford

naijabet.com

Liverpool have won six of their last seven Premier League matches and enter the weekend level on points with Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the table, in third only on goal difference.

Watford have struggled for consistency since beating Manchester United 3-1, winning just two of the resulting five matches, although they have only lost one in that time.

Liverpool have won each of their last three home matches against Watford and not conceded in that time. Maybe this is the fixture they finally keep a clean sheet? They have only managed that in one league game this season.

Team News

Liverpool – Danny Ings has been ruled out for 7-9 months after suffering another knee injury. Naijabet.com

James Milner missed their 4-2 win over Crystal Palace through illness but has returned to training and is expected to return to the starting XI despite Alberto Moreno’s positive impact last time out.

UCL Match Preview : Legia Warszawa vs Real Madrid

naijabet.com

Legia Warszawa fell to a 5-1 loss in Madrid last time out and have now conceded 13 goals in their three Champions League outings this season.

They’re unlikely to stop the European rot against an in-form Real Madrid side, though the return of Michal Pazdan is a boost.

Los Blancos are expected to roatate, but they have enough quality in depth to secure victory. However, they have struggled to keep clean sheets this term and remain a tad suspect at the back.

Nevertheless, Real Madrid are heavy favourites to secure victory, with an away win on the cards. Naija and Bet

Team News

Legia Warszawa – Adam Hlousek is a doubt for the home side, with Guilherme set to feature at left-back.

Michal Pazdan is available for the hosts following his return from injury and should start.

Match Preview : Arsenal vs Middlesbrough

naijabet.com

A 6-0 thumping of Ludogorets on Wednesday night means Arsenal have now won their last seven competitive outings and are unbeaten in their last 11. They will be confident of extending that run against a lacklustre Middlesbrough side this weekend.

Boro have now failed to win their last six league fixtures, losing four. They have, however, lost only one of their four away league games.

Arsenal, though, come into the tie as favourites and should land a routine win.

Team News

Arsenal – Granit Xhaka is suspended for the Gunners, with Francis Coquelin expected to start alongside Santi Cazorla. Naija and Bet

Per Mertesacker, Danny Welbeck and Chuba Akpom are all sidelined here.

This game is likely to come too soon for Carl Jenkinson and Aaron Ramsey, who are both closing in on a return to fitness.

Middlesbrough – Grant Lead bitter is ruled out for Middlesbrough ahead of their trip to the Emirates.

James Husband and Fabio are both doubts and will be assessed closer to kick off.

Calum Chambers is ineligible to face his parent club, with Daniel Ayala in line to feature, while Adama Traore could start.

Europa League Match Preview : Manchester United vs Fenerbahce

naijabet.com

Manchester United earned a hard fought 0-0 draw with Liverpool on Monday and that would have taken a lot of some of the players.

Jose Mourinho is expected to make changes to the side with tough league fixtures to come and this may result in another disjointed Europa League performance. Their dull 1-0 win over Zorya was just their third win in the competition in 10 attempts.

Fenerbahce are having their own problems this season. They are currently in ninth in the Turkish Super Lig having only taken nine points from their opening seven matches.

They have drawn their last two matches and failed to score more than one goal in any of their last three. Nevertheless, they are unbeaten in six and will be a tough side to beat for a United side that struggles in this competition. Naijabet.com

The Turkish side ran out 3-0 winners the last time these two sides met back in 2004 and while they won’t have similar joy this time around it will still be a difficult match for United to triumph in.

Anthony Martial and Morgan Schneiderlin missed Monday’s match through injury and remain doubts here, while Phil Jones is also sidelined. Bastian Schweinsteiger is still training with the reserves.

Wayne Rooney was benched against Liverpool, but should come into the starting XI on Thursday, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan should be involved for the first time in seven matches.

Fenerbahce – Robin van Persie has only started one league game this season and is out of favour, but he will be desperate to feature against Manchester United, back at Old Trafford for the first time since leaving over a year ago.

Jeremain Lens and Ozan Tufan are doubts for Thursday’s trip to England after missing their 1-1 draw with Alanyaspor on Sunday through injury.

Match Preview : Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid

naijabet.com

Real Madrid aren’t in great shape ahead of their big clash against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. They have drawn their last two matches and their front free aren’t fully up to speed. To make matters worse they will be without Casemiro for this fixture and have no similar alternative in their squad. Marcelo’s absence is also a big blow.

Borussia Dortmund, by contrast, are in fantastic shape. They have won their last four matches and scored 20 goals in the process. Everything is starting to click for Thomas Tuchel’s side and they should be confident of beating Madrid, even though Zinedine Zidane’s side have only lost one of their last 15 in Europe. Naija and Bet

The Bundesliga side have won each of their last three matches at home to Madrid and another victory could be on the cards in midweek.
