Football Predictions Sunday

Southampton v Liverpool

The Premier League leaders will spend their Sunday afternoon on the South Coast, as Liverpool take on Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium. – Check out our Premier League odds.

It’s been a really tough first few months back in the English top-flight for Southampton, after picking up their first victory with a 1-0 win against fellow strugglers Everton, any optimism was completely wiped from the camp just a week later when they fell to their ninth league defeat of the season against Wolves, they’ve only played eleven games. Their most recent defeat has left Russell Martin’s side bottom of the pile, they could be facing more misery here given they’ve not beaten Liverpool in their last six attempts across all competitions. 

By contrast, it’s a totally different story for Liverpool. Arne Slot’s side are at the summit of the Premier League and have managed to pull themselves five points clear of Manchester City ahead of their clash next weekend. The Reds are unbeaten in their last thirteen games across all competitions, with victories in twelve of them, they really hit the ground running under the Dutchman and he could become the joint-fastest manager to reach ten Premier League wins with a victory on Sunday. 

Liverpool should win this one comfortably, holding the best defensive record in the league so far is one of the reasons they remain top of the pile, they’ve conceded just three goals away from home so far, two of which came in their last road trip to Arsenal. Here you can find all our latest Premier League betting tips.

With the Reds five points clear at the top of the Premier League prior to this fixture, they really can be classed as title contenders.

Ipswich Town v Manchester United

Portman Road will be packed to the rafters for this one, as Ipswich Town welcome footballing giants Manchester United for the first time in twenty-two years. - Check out our latest Premier League odds.

Ipswich Town finally got their first Premier League victory of the season at the eleventh attempt, not only did they achieve their win in the English top-flight since their 1-0 victory against Middlesbrough back in 2002, the Tractor Boys did it by defying the odds with a 2-1 win away to Tottenham Hotspur. Kieran McKenna will be hoping to get one over his old club here, they head into this one outside of the bottom three by a single point, there’s a long way to go yet but you feel Ipswich Town definitely won’t be going down without a real fight.

We’ve been here before with Manchester United but this time it does feel a little different, the appointment of Ruben Amorim is an exciting one given what he achieved at Sporting. Whilst you feel INEOS not paying the compensation to acquire Amorim a few weeks earlier could be justified, he’s had nearly two-weeks to settle in and will be hoping his side can adapt quickly to his style of play. However, for all the good that Sporting have produced, we must remember this is still a long-term project for Manchester United and obviously it’s a totally different set of players, it’s going to be an interesting first few games. The Red Devils sit thirteenth in the Premier League but are still well within a shot of finishing in the top six, given they are only four points behind Chelsea in third. United have won just one of their last seven games on the road, albeit that victory did come against another newly-promoted side in Southampton. 

Ipswich will cause Manchester United a couple of problems no doubt but I think United will be well up for this one, with a lot of the players having something to prove. I’m edging towards an away win here but don’t be surprised to see both teams on the scoresheet.  Here you can find all our latest Premier League score predictions.

Top four might be too much to ask for Ruben Amorim in his first season but the top six is definitely achievable.

Leganes v Real Madrid

Real Madrid will make the short trip to the Estadio Municipal de Butarque to face Leganes in La Liga on Sunday evening. – Check out our La Liga odds.

Leganes claimed the LaLiga2 title last season and have made a decent start to their return in La Liga, Borja Jiménez’s side sit fourteenth and four points clear off the relegation zone after their first thirteen games. Despite yet to win on the road, it’s a different story on home soil for the cucumbers, who have won three of their six games in front of their home faithful. However, this is a big ask for El Lega, they’ve beaten Real Madrid twice before but only in the Copa del Rey, most recently back in 2019.

It’s been a slow start to the campaign in terms of Real Madrid’s usual standards, their 4-0 defeat to Barcelona was followed up by a 3-1 defeat at home to AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League. Los Blancos did go into the international break with a victory following their 4-0 thumping of Osasuna, it’s a result which leaves Carlo Ancelotti’s side six points behind league leaders Barca, although they do have a game in hand following the postponement against Valencia. This could be tricky for Real Madrid, they’ve only won two of their five league away games so far and haven’t won at this venue in their last three attempts. 

Having said all that, I do think Real Madrid should have enough in their squad to get the job done in this one, there’s a lot of questions surrounding this team at the moment and Ancelotti will be hoping his side can find the answers.

Real Madrid have it all to do but you’d be silly to write them off at this early stage of the season.

Football Predictions Monday

Newcastle United v West Ham United

The Premier League offers us some Monday night action as West Ham United make the long trip up north to face Newcastle United at St James’ Park. – Check out our Premier League odds.

It’s been a good few weeks for Newcastle United, the Magpies have put together three wins in all competitions against some good opponents in Chelsea, Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. Those last two victories both came in the Premier League and moved Eddie Howe’s side up to eighth, just one point off the top three. Another win here would see Newcastle win three league games on the bounce for the first time since September 2023 and could find themselves in the top four depending on results elsewhere over the weekend. 

West Ham make the trip to Newcastle knowing their boss Julen Lopetegui is a man under real pressure, the Hammers have won just three of their first eleven games in the Premier League and sit in fourteenth place, just five points above the drop. It’s not the season that the Irons had expected and you feel the misery could continue on Monday evening as they’ve won just one of their last ten away games in all competitions. 

I think we’re in for an entertaining game on Monday night, nine of the last ten meetings between these two sides have seen both teams find the back of the net, whilst seven of those ten have produced at least four goals.

Newcastle United will be looking to make up for missing out on European football this season.

Football Predictions Tuesday

FC Barcelona v Brest

FC Barcelona will return to UEFA Champions League action on Tuesday evening as they welcome French side Brest to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. – Check out our UEFA Champions League odds.

Barcelona returned from the international break with a tricky trip to Celta Vigo, things were looking good for Hansi Flick’s side after Lewandowski put them 2-0 up on the hour mark. However, Marc Casado picked up a second yellow card which left Barca playing the last ten minutes with just ten players, even then you’d have fancied them to see it out but two goals in two minutes from Celta Vigo meant it was two points dropped for Barcelona. After the game, Hansi Flick said his players only had themselves to blame and they were lucky to leave Vigo with one point, they are now winless in their last two but have a good chance to bounce back here on home soil. 

UEFA Champions League debutants Brest have taken to this competition like a duck to water, the Pirates remain unbeaten in their first four games, with victories in three of them moving them into fourth place in this league phase. Like their opponents, Eric Roy’s side head to Spain winless in their last two games, both of which have come away from home. After their start to this campaign, Brest will be very happy with how things are going, whilst automatic qualification might still be a big ask, they are six points clear from twenty-fifth place with four games left to play.

Despite their good start, I think Barcelona will get the victory in this one and quite convincingly, they’ve scored a league-high fifteen goals in their first four games, I’m expecting more on Tuesday night. Here you can find all our latest UEFA Champions League football tips.

FC Barcelona will be looking to go all the way under Hansi Flick and claim their seventh UEFA Champions League.
