At 3:30 a.m. Beijing time on February 22, the 26th round of the English Premier League began. Liverpool, the leader of the table, is at home to meet the challenge of Luton in this round, and the weak Luton face Liverpool with a full schedule of games. In the subsequent Champions League quarter-knockout round, the Serie A team Napoli will also face La Liga giants Barcelona, who have been in a lot of ups and downs in form, and the two teams have been inconsistent recently, and the Gunners Arsenal will also go away to challenge Porto in the Portuguese Super League this round. According to the usual practice, the basic data before the game has been prepared for everyone, and my personal opinion is for reference only.
First, let's focus on the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Luton Town. Looking at Liverpool's recent performances, it is not difficult to see that their attacking performance is much more consistent than that of the backline, and Liverpool have conceded an average of 1. goals per game in the last six matchesFive goals and no clean sheets, although Liverpool are averaging a whopping 2The goal efficiency of 6 goals, but the inconsistency of the back line believes that there is a high probability that this game will continue to concede goals. The away team Luton Town is a team that is good at playing away in the league, they have won 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 away matches, and the last away defeat was two months ago. In addition, it should be noted that Liverpool have an EFL Cup final to play in three days, and this time against relegation team Luton, Liverpool will largely rotate some of the main lineup. On the other hand, Luton's top scorer has been confirmed to be absent, and the main winger Brown will also be unable to play due to injury, these two players have a huge impact on Luton's attacking line. In the first leg of the season, Liverpool were almost held to a draw away from home, and it is worth noting that Liverpool had more than 70% possession at the time, while Luton's counter-attacking ability was very targeted for Liverpool. The ** data outside the field gives Liverpool up to two goals of strength advantage, in the view of the small score of this game is extremely high, I am optimistic about Liverpool 1 goal advantage to win the game, of course, this game has the need to prevent a draw, the half-time ball rate is not high and I hope everyone knows.
Then turn to the Champions League to explain the match between Napoli and Barcelona. Napoli have had a poor run of form in Serie A of late, with a number of problems in attack, failing to find the back of the net in as many as nine of their last 15 matches in all competitions, including a number of teams that are weaker than their own. However, Napoli's defence has been quite consistent of late, with only one defeat in this season's Champions League home games, and they seem to be taking the Champions League more seriously overall. The away team Barcelona has rebounded recently, but the team's back line has not been very stable, and Barcelona's performance in this season's Champions League away matches is also quite struggling, and the probability of winning directly is only about 30%. Before the game, the home team Napoli sacked the team's coach Mazzari and urgently signed the Slovak coach Karzo, who has not yet run in with the team, so Napoli's tactics for this game are likely to be the same as before. Judging from the injury lists of the two teams, Napoli's main midfielder Zielinski has been removed from the team and will be determined to miss the next game, while the left side of Barcelona will usher in the return of the main Felix and captain Roberto, but in view of the fact that there are many injuries in the main team of Barcelona, the decline in the strength of this game is inevitable. The ** data outside the field gives the strength advantage of Barcelona's small hemisphere, it seems that the Napoli lineup is quite complete, and I am personally optimistic that Napoli will defeat Barcelona by 1 goal at home, and the score will give priority to the end of the small score scene.
Then let's interpret the Champions League match between Porto and Arsenal. Porto's main striker Tamire will be absent due to injury, in addition to Porto's overall squad is relatively complete, while Arsenal's main striker Jesus and main midfielder Vieira will both be absent, and the other two main defenders Tomiyasu Jianyang and Zinchenko are currently doubtful. Both teams won their opponents in their home leagues last time out, and it is worth noting that Porto have always been deficient in the Champions League, conceding at least one goal per game in the Champions League this season, but Porto have a good half-time ball and quite strong attacking firepower. On the other hand, Arsenal has won 5 consecutive league wins, their defensive play has been very stable recently, and there are many clean sheets against opponents, and it should be noted that Arsenal's away record in the Champions League is far less than their home performance, and Porto is not much inferior to Arsenal in the pre-match heat of this game. The ** data outside the field gives the Gunners a strength advantage of nearly 1 goal, and the score has a certain tendency to score, and it seems that the probability of the final draw between the two teams is the highest, and Arsenal defeated the opponent by 1 goal away from home.
