Before us is a rich football weekend, but it will also be exciting on handball and tennis courts where important competitions are concluding. The suggested odds were current at the time of writing the text.
Cagliari – Torino – 1X @ 1.65 at betBonanza
On Sardinia, every match for Cagliari will be like a little final. Of course, this will also be true for away games, but we somehow have more faith in Cagliari when they play at their Unipol. They are currently out of the relegation zone but only by one point more than Verona, the first team below the line. In their last six home games, Cagliari has been undefeated, with 4 wins and two draws. They previously played against Bologna and achieved an important victory. A week ago, they visited Frosinone and were defeated 3:1, although they were the first to take the lead. Now they face a very tough opponent. Torino’s team hasn’t won in their last five away matches, but Granata very rarely concedes goals. For the Bulls, this could be another “boring” season, they won’t be fighting for survival but neither for Europe. In their last seven matches, Vanja Milinković-Savić’s net has been shaken only twice in total, so we don’t expect a goal fest against Cagliari either.
On the other hand, the host should not afford to lose, so our suggestion is Double Chance 1x bet with odds of 1.65 at betBonanza.
Eintracht Frankfurt – FSV Mainz 05 – Total Over 2.5 @ 2.05 at betBonanza
For Mainz, this will be just their second official match in 2024, as their game from the previous round was postponed. Therefore, they are still in the relegation zone with 11 points, the same as Darmstadt and Cologne below them, but with one more game played. This will be a tough season for them, although they have faced the battle for survival before. They go to neighboring Frankfurt in search of points, considering they have traditionally played well here, with two wins and one draw in their last five matches at the Deutsche Bank Arena. However, they have lost their last two away games. Eintracht Frankfurt last week had a two-goal lead in their visit to another neighbor, Darmstadt, but ultimately only secured one point. They jumped to sixth place with 28 points, tied with Freiburg. Their goal is another European campaign, and to achieve this, they need to at least maintain their current position. In the first part of the season, the match in Mainz ended in a draw with one goal on each side.
We should expect goals again now, our suggestion is Total Over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.05 at the betBonanza.
Tottenham – Manchester City – Manchester City will win and Total Over 1.5 @ 1.72 at betBonanza
The absolute highlight of the English FA Cup’s round of 16 is the match between Tottenham and Manchester City. It’s unfortunate that this duel takes place during the African and Asian continental championships, so the teams won’t be at full strength. It might be harder for the Spurs, as they will be without Heung-Min Son, one of the main players in the team. These two teams had almost two weeks off since their last match. City celebrated a dramatic victory in their last game against Newcastle, avenging their elimination from the EFL Cup. Tottenham played against the other Manchester team, United, at Old Trafford, and that too was a real spectacle, ending in a 2:2 draw. In the league, City is second with 5 points less, and a game in hand, than Liverpool, while Tottenham is in 5th position, 3 points behind City but with one more game played. In early December, these two teams played in the league at the Etihad, and the match ended in a goal fest, with a 3:3 score. It seems to us that City is now in much better form and will have a more complete squad, so our suggestion is an away win with at least two goals for the visitors.
The odds for Manchester City will win and Total Over 1.5 goals at betBonanza are 1.72.
Eibar – Mirandes – Eibar to Win @ 1.60 at betBonanza
After two consecutive victories in Segunda, the Eibar team has returned to the top of the table and joined the battle for direct promotion to La Liga. Now they must avoid a new crisis that would allow their competitors to pull ahead again. They have beaten Racing Santander at home and Huesca away, following a streak of four league matches without a win, earning only two points. Mirandes is currently among the weaker teams in Spain’s second division. They are at a solid 14th place with 7 points more than the first team below the relegation line, but they cannot afford to relax as things can change quickly. Interestingly, Mirandes has not lost in their last eight league matches, but this has not been greatly beneficial since they have only won twice in that period, with six matches ending in draws. Their strong defense is a key feature, having conceded only one goal in the last six rounds, and that was in their last match against Levante, ending 1:1, after nearly 500 minutes of keeping a clean sheet. Mirandes has never beaten Eibar in Segunda, having played them 7 times already. Last autumn, it was 3:1 in favor of Eibar, so we expect another victory for this team.
The odds for Eibar to Win at betBonanza are 1.60.
