Prediction on match Eternal Fire Academy vs Anonymo:

Here again we will rely on the recent match statistics for these two teams. Since they do not have normal statistics, because they meet for the first time among themselves and there are statistics of only played maps. The map knowledge of the Fire Academy team is not very good, to put it mildly, while their opponents have more than excellent stats. But I'm going to take a risk and bet even if not with money, but still, the victory should be with Fire Academy. Although they ran a few maps in their closed qualification, the Turks still have some chances to win, at least they can declare themselves loudly.

Man Utd again face Leeds for the second time in a week but this time they play at Elland Rd, the last game was not a walk over for Man U by a long way and Leeds battled until the final whistle. I think this will be a similar game with both teams scoring at least one, neither teams have a good defensive record this year and their goals for record and goals against is an exact flip reverse of each other, with Man Utd scoring 36 and conceding 28, whilst Leeds have scored 28 and conceded 36. So statistically this game has goals in it. I don't think Leeds will be able to battle out two draws in a row against Mn Utd and even though they are away I think Man Utd will win this one comfortably. So my prediction is Man Utd win and over 2.5 goals total @2.75 onBet365

Manchester city VS Aston Villa

Manchester is a huge favorite here and i can see why their record is 14-3-4 and Aston's is 8-4-9. Looking back at Aston's recent 10 games they scored in every game ... hmm ...  Manchester is averaging 2.5 goals a game and the last match was a 1-1 game but that was last year. Aston is averaging 1.2 goals a game and are 8th in league for shots on goal. If i had to guess id say this game will be a 3-1 win for Manchester.

Prediction is Manchester to win and both to score for 3.00 pinnacle

In another important match on Sunday's matchday 22 of Serie A, Juventus vs Fiorentina, who face each other in a mid-table duel.

 

The Vecchia Signora are coming off a 3-0 win over Salernitana, while the Viola lost 1-2 against Bologna.

 

Since the drop in points Juventus have one win, one draw and a heavy defeat at home to Monza, a performance that must improve radically if they are to dream of turning their situation around.

 

Playing at home, the Vecchia Signora is the fourth best club in the championship with 24 points from 11 matches, their only defeat being the one they suffered in the last game against Monza, allowing just eight goals in that period.

 

Considering the situation Juve have nothing more to lose, so they will go all out to win and by many goals.

Juve wins by more than 2.5 goals.

Manchester City stumbled again. In the last confrontation, the “citizens” unexpectedly lost to Tottenham with a score of 0:1, conceding already in the 15th minute. Guardiola's protégés had quite a lot of possession of the ball (64% of the time), outplayed the opponent both in the number of shots on target (5:3) and in the construction of dangerous attacks (69:33), but still lacked luck in the implementation. Note that the club is still in second position in the table.

Aston Villa interrupted a win-win performance. In the last confrontation, the Lions lost to Leicester with a score of 2:4 in their home walls, although they led twice in the score. Emery's wards worked out the first number, built a lot of attacks, but the accuracy failed – out of 19 shots on goal, only four went on target. In general, the club has adjusted the game and has already gained a foothold in the middle part of the standings – 28 points have been scored for round 21, and this is the 11th line.

 My bet: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals

My pick for betting competition is going to be for UFC 284.

I'm choosing Yair Rodriguez to win with 1.57.

It's a Co-Main Event bout in the featherweight division between Yair 'El Pantera' (The Panther) Rodriguez (Mexican) vs Josh 'The Fighting Falmer' Emmett (American) for the UFC interim belt. 

Yair Rodriguez has an MMA record of 18 total fights, 14 wins, 5 wins by knockout, 3 wins by submission, 6 wins by decision, he also has 3 losses, with 1 no contest. He's lost by knockout twice, one by decision, the no contest came from Yair's left hand accidental eye poke against Jeremy Stephens in the first round back in 2019 for UFC Fight Night 159. Yair Rodriguez fought Jeremy Stephens again about a month later in 2019 winning a 3 round decision on UFC ESPN 6.

Yair Rodriguez has never won a UFC title, he has however won UFC's The Ultimate Fighter season 1 of Latin America tournament in 2014, officially winning/getting a contract with UFC with the result.

Yair in this fight has a reach advantage of 71 inches/180cm verses Josh Emmett's 70inches/178cm, Yair is also the younger fighter at 30 vs Emmett at 37.

I truly believe Yair Rodriguez is the better more well rounded fighter, naturally also the faster/quicker, he gives awkward angles that most fighters can't really replicate during practices. Who doesn't remember Yair's amazing knockout win against Chan Sung Jung 'The Korean Zombie' in 2018 on UFC Fight Night... Yair was losing that fight officially as seen by the three judges scoring cards after the fight, it wasn't until Yair in the last round (5th) doing an awkward perfectly timed elbow behind his back to the Korean Zombies presumably iron chin knocking him out unconsciously. You must watch the replay to actually see what I'm typing about, if you haven't already seen. Yair Rodriguez got voted knockout of the year after this performance.

The only thing that worries me is Josh Emmett has some bricks for hands, he can knockout anyone in the featherweight division. I don't believe Yair has potentially ever been hit this hard, not even Max Holloway hit this hard.

Please do not add this bet as it does not comply with the competition rules. @AlphaGambler@Garf79 

 

Thank you......

@steveoBro you are gonna hate me but picks have to be between 1.50 and 3.00, yours was 3.05 😞 I literally just told @serjua8 she had a couple voided because they were over 3.00. If I hadn't of just warned Serjua then I might have let it slide as it was such a small margin but I have spoken to Rok and we have to stick by the rules. Sorry bro.

Rules are rules, but we must not forget that a high quota has a higher degree of difficulty, which in addition to luck should be analyzed in detail a match. But rules are rules.
