FA Cup, Serie A and Primera Division Preview and Prediction





















3/3 wins yesterday and for today i chose 3 matches.


Manchester City - Manchester United (FA Cup)

Manchester City welcomes Manchester United for the town's rival derby. Manchester City looks like they are unbeaten in Etihad this season. Manchester City won Liverpool 3-0 in the last game and let behind the bad results against West Brom and Sunderland. They are the FA holders and will look today to defend the title
against rival Manchester United. In the last game between them City demolished United with 1-6. Mancini will not have available for the match Toure brothers and also Balotelli and Barry.

Manchester United looks unstable this season and in the last 2 games they lost against Blackburn (2-3) and Newcastle (3-0). The injury problems and the weak middfield let Manchester United in the 2nd place in the league and looks like they can't compete City this season. SAF will now have in this match Evans,Vidic,Smalling,Fletcher,Owen,Ashley Young,Fabio and Cleverley.

Pick: Manchester City have players to cover the missing of Yaya Toure and Balotelli while Manchester United still have lot of injuries but no quality players to cover them. I believe Manchester City will win this game and with the help of their fans will get through the next round. Manchester City Win






Roma - Chievo (Serie A)

Roma welcome Chievo in Rome today and will look to get the 3 points and get even closer to the top. Roma won their last game against Bologna (0-2) and they are now in the 7th place with 24 points. Their home form is (3-2-2). Luis Enrique will be missing for this match Osvaldo, Burdisso and Cassetti.

Chievo will return again to Olimpico after the last game against Lazio (0-0) where they have only 1 win against Roma in the last 18 games. Their away record is (1-2-5) and they have the 3rd worst attack in the league with only 13 goals. Chievo's manager doesn't face any injury problems and all players are available.

Pick: Roma will win this game and without Osvaldo if they want to do something good this season. Chievo is weak away from home and I will go for Roma Win.




Espanyol - Barcelona (Primera Division)

The Catalan derby against Espanyol and Barcelona take place today. Espanyol welcome Barcelona and both teams want to win this match not only for the points but also for their fans. Espanyol sit in the 8th place with 23 points. In their last game they lost against Cordoba for the Spanish Cup (1-2). Their home form is (4-1-2).
Walter Pandiani, Albin and Javi Lopez will miss the match.

Barcelona want to win this match to close the gap to -3 points again  after Real Madrid won last night against Granada. In their last game Barcelona won Osasuna (4-0) for the Spanish Cup. Pep Guardiola will not have for this match Villa who is out until the end of the season and Affelay.

Pick: Barcelona will win the match and they'll win with lot of goals. So my pick will be Barcelona -2AH Win.
