Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund - Champions League Septembre 27, 2016

Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid - Champions League 2016-17

Venue: Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund, Allemagne

mardi, 27 septembre 2016 - 20:45 CET

Borussia Dortmund team have won six of their eight competitive games; scoring a ridiculous amount of goals. Their only slips were a German Super Cup defeat to Bayern Munich and a 1-0 loss at Leipzig in Bundesliga earlier this month. Thomas Tuchel's men enter this match on the back of a 3-1 win over Darmstadt at the weekend and made a good start to their Champions League campaign as they thrashed Polish side Legia Warsaw 6-0 on the matchday 1.
Thomas Tuchel have a number of injury concerns. Neven Subotic, Erik Durm, Marco Reus and Sven Bender are all sidelined while Andrè Schurrle is doubtful. Furthermore, he may be forced to field Matthias Ginter at the back with Marc Bartra expected to miss out once again because of injury. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will start as lone striker in the 4-1-4-1 formation, with Julian Wigl deployed as shield in midfield. The likes of Gonzalo Castro, Raphael Guerreiro, Christian Pulisic and Ousmane Dembelè will probably start as offensive midfielders.

Real Madrid team were on the verge of breaking the all time record of consecutive La Liga wins last week but they only recorded a 1-1 draw at Villarreal. Furthermore, they also drew with Las Palmas (2:2) last Saturday. The Galacticos remain top of the table in La Liga with 14 points from their six matches. Anyway, Zinedine Zidane’s men needed to rely on very late goals in order to scrape a 2-1 matchday one win at home against Sporting Lisbon in their Champions League.
Keylor Navas is expected to retain his starting berth in goal while Casemiro is sidelined for at least three weeks after breaking his leg against Espanyol. Marco Asensio, Mateo Kovacic, James Rodriguez and Isco are all vying for the third slot in midfield alongside Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. The BBC offensive trio - Bale, Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo - will remain unchanged. Defenders Marcelo, Fabio Coentrao, and Pepe are injury concerns.

Probable lineups:

Real Madrid: Navas – Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Danilo – T. Kroos, Modric – Bale, J. Rodriguez, Ronaldo – Benzema.

Borussia Dortmund: Burki – Piszczek, Ginter, Sokratis, Schmelzer – Weigl, Rode – Dembele, M. Gotze, Guerreiro – Aubameyang.

Manchester United vs Leicester City Premier League - September 24, 2016

Manchester United vs Leicester City - Competition: Premier League
 

Man United team got off to a strong start as they won the Community Shield and then reeled off three straight Premier League wins, but the wheels have come off since then with back-to-back league losses sandwiching a Europa League defeat at the hands of Feyenoord. Their recent form has shown they have only individual players and lack cohesion in the team and the pressure is mounting on Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese managare has concerns over Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial for the visit of Leicester to Old Trafford, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a major doubt due to a thigh problem. Rooney will reportedly be axed on Saturday after a terrible performance against Watford last weekend and against Northampton in the League Cup.This should see Marcus Rashford retain his place, with Juan Mata or Ashley Young vying for a start.  

Leicester City team have so far failed to match the heights of last campaign, but they responded to the 4-1 drubbing at Liverpool with their first ever UCL victory (3-0 over Club Brugge) and the Foxes ran out comfortable winners against Burnley last weekend before being knocked out by Chelsea in the EFL Cup in midweek.
Claudio Ranieri is expected to choose a starting XI similar to the one used against Burnley last weekend with Islam Slimani partnering Jamie Vardy in attack. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has recovered from concussion and he is in contention with Ron-Robert Zieler for a berth between the posts. Nampalys Mendy remains the Foxes' only real injury concern and as consequence Daniel Amartey is likely to start in the middle of the park.
Both teams shared points in their last game at Old Trafford, also they did same at Leicester City’s home ground last season. Both teams have scored in the five matches these two sides have played since Leicester’s promotion.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal 13-09-2016 Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal - Competition: UEFA Champions League

After they lost 3-1 away to Monaco before the international break, Paris Saint Germain failed to win once again in Ligue 1 as they recorded a 1-1 draw against Saint-Etienne. This means that the current champions  have only picked up a point from their last two matches following two wins from two. Anyway, PSG have lost just one of their last 20 UCL matches at the Parc des Princes and they are odds on favoruite to get all three points against the Gunners.
Paris Saint-Germain team are a team in transition. Theyb suffered the loss of Ibrahimovic on a free during the summer, and as consequence Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani will play as central forward this season. The loss of David Luiz means that Presnel Kimpembe will start as central defender as defenders Serge Aurier, Maxwell, Thiago Silva and Layvin Kurzawa are all doubtful for Paris Saint-Germain. At present Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe and Thomas Meunier are the club’s only fully-fit defenders.

Arsenal enter this game on the back of a pivotal 2-1 win over Southampton at Emirates on Saturday afternoon, courtesy of a Santi Cazorla's late penalty conversion. Prior to that, the Gunners suffered a home defeat against Liverpool (3:4) in their Premier League debut match, then drew 0-0 with Leicester and beat Watford 3-1 away from home. They have been very average so far and Arsene Wenger is already under pressure.
The Gunners are set to welcome back Kieran Gibbs after he recovered from injury. Granit Xhaka could play a part after being rested in the 2-1 win over Southampton. New signing Lucas Perez endured a disappointing Premier League debut in which he failed to have a single shot on target against the Saints. Olivier Giroud will lead the line, with Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott behind him. With captain and key defender Laurent Koscielny set to miss the game through injury, Rob Holding is expected to deputize in his absence. Arsene Wenger is also without Aaron Ramsey, Gabriel Paulista, Carl Jenkinson, Danny Welbeck and Per Mertesacker due to injury.

Probable lineups:

Paris Saint-Germain: Trapp – Meunier, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Kurzawa – Krychowiak, Verratti, Matuidi – di Maria, Cavani, Lucas Moura.

Arsenal: P. Cech – Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal – G. Xhaka, Cazorla – Walcott, Ozil, A. Sanchez – Giroud.

The Red Devils claimed a crucial last minute winner against Hull City before the international break courtesy of a goal scored by Marcus Rashford. Prior to that, Mourinho's men won the Community Shield against Leicester City and were comfortable winners against both Bournemouth and Southampton in the league.
Luke Shaw and Fellaini have recovered and both are expected to be in the starting line-up. Marcus Rashford is pushing for a start after following up his winner against Hull with a hat-trick for the England U21s on Tuesday and the youngster is in contention with Anthony Martial for a starting berth. Juan Mata is another that could drop out. Antonio Valencia will need to be assessed following his late arrival back from international duty while Zlatan Ibrahimovic will lead the line once more.

Like United, Man City have also enjoyed a perfect start to the 2016/17 campaign with five wins out of five in the Premier League and Champions League qualifiers. The Citizens recently cruised to a 3-1 home victory over West Ham United while in the first two league fixtures Guardiola's men narrowly beat Sunderland 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium and hammered Stoke City 4-1 away from home.
Aguero has been given a three-match ban for elbowing West Ham's Winston Reid prior to the international break. As consequence, Kelechi Iheanacho is expected to lead the line while the likes of Nolito, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and Raheem Sterling will start as offensive midfielders. Bacary Sagna has returned to training following a hamstring injury and is available while Vincent Kompany will not be risked. Pep Guardiola can also call on Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane for the first time and Claudio Bravo could make his City debut in goal.
In 16 head-to-head meetings between Mourinho and Guardiola, the Spanish manager has come out firmly on top having won seven of those and only suffered defeat in three matches. Thirteen of the last seventeen Manchester Derby games at Old Trafford have finished with both teams scoring.

Italy vs France International Friendly - 01-09-2016

Italy vs France - Competition: Friendly
 

Italy team left the Euro Championship competitions after 5 games, losing out to Germany in a penalty shootout. They beat Belgium, Sweden and Spain (all - remarkably - to nil), losing to Ireland 1-0 and drawing 1-1 with Germany before to be knocked out. Anyway, most of the bettors think the Italians are renowned for treating these International Friendlies as exercises in not getting injured. The Azzurri have won only five of their 24 friendlies since 2012 and four of these victories came against sides we had ranked outside the world’s top-50.
New Italy boss Giampiero Ventura has replaced Antonio Conte who has been appointed by Chelsea. The former Torino manager has insisted he is keen on bringing young talent to the team. AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma could make his debut as well as young striker Andrea Belotti, the current Serie A top scorer depsite two missed penalties in the first two matches. In the starting 3-5-2 formation, Eder and Graziano Pellè will lead the line.

France team lost in the final of the Euros in their own country two months ago. They defeated Albania, Ireland, Iceland and Germany, before coming unstuck to Portugal in what was a heartbreaking loss in front of their own fans in the Euro 2016 final.  Despite an array of talents at their disposal, both sides underperformed in attack during the tournament. As to the firendlies, Les Blues have won seven of their last 11 away friendlies against sides ranked in the world’s top 25.
The French squad has been shaken-up by the involvement of Dortmund teenager, Dembele, and Atletico Madrid forward, Gameiro. Kingsley Coman is likely to start ahead of Payet, while Kante will also get a chance to prove himself further at the base of midfield. Steve Mandanda is set to start between the sticks with Hugo Lloris out injured while Sebastien Corchia is expected to start as right back. Yohan Cabaye has reportedly injured his knee in training and will miss out.
