Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Portman Road when Ipswich Town and Manchester United go head to head in the Premier League round 12. The Tractor Boys made a slow start to the season, but their display in a thrilling 2-1 win over star-studded Tottenham is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Sunday’s clash. Republic of Ireland international Chiedozie Ogbene should be the only absentee in the home team. 

The Red Devils, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-0 win over Leicester City. As Ruben Amorim will make his debut as new Man Utd boss against Ipswich Town, we are tempted to place our bets on the Old Trafford outfit. The likes of Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo, and Tyrell Malacia are major doubts, while Lisandro Martinez should be fit for Sunday’s showdown. Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting side.

Score Prediction: Ipswich 1-3 Manchester United

Manchester City will look to put an end to their four-game losing run in all competitions when they take on Tottenham in the Premier League round 12. The Citizens have been struggling to find their form ever since key midfielder Rodri suffered a long-term injury, but the good news for Pep Guardiola is that fellow ace Kevin De Bruyne has overcome his problem. The Belgian international is widely expected to start against Spurs, whereas both John Stones and Ruben Dias are major doubts. 

The capital club, on the other hand, suffered an embarrassing 2-1 loss to relegation-threatened Ipswich Town before the international break. Considering that Man City are in need for points, we predict that Ange Postecoglou’s troops are going to return to London with their hands empty. Brazil striker Richarlison is injured for the visiting team, while defender Micky van de Ven is a major doubt.

Score Prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Tottenham

Following a 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the London derby, Arsenal will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they face Nottingham Forest at their Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are nine points behind league leaders Liverpool in the standings, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. Both Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori are major doubts, while duo Bukayo Saka – Declan Rice should be fit for Saturday’s clash. 

The Reds, on the other hand, are enjoying a very successful Premier League campaign, with the team sitting in fifth place in the standings ahead of the trip to London. Nottingham Forest have already claimed a couple of major scalps this season, but given their five-game losing run at Emirates Stadium, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Danilo misses out with injury, while fellow midfielder Ibrahim Sangare will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

Score Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Nottingham Forest

Saturday’s clash between Leicester City and Chelsea will open round 12 of the new Premier League campaign. The Foxes do not seem to be at their sharpest, failing to win the last four games in all competitions and, as a result, the bookies see them as underdogs in this encounter. Talented midfielder Facundo Buonanotte is banned for the match, while Bobby De Cordova-Reid is a major doubt. 

The Blues, on the other hand, shared the spoils with their local rivals Arsenal before the international break. Chelsea are eager to stay in the Champions League berth and seeing that Enzo Maresca can count on key players for Saturday’s matinee, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. Star player Cole Palmer should be fit for the King Power Stadium clash where Chelsea defeated Leicester 3-1 last time out in the Premier League.

Score Prediction Leicester 1-3 Chelsea

Real Madrid will be looking to recover from a heart-breaking 4-0 defeat to Barcelona when they welcome Osasuna to their Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Matchday 13. Los Blancos were not in action at the weekend, but they head into Saturday’s clash following the Champions League encounter with Milan. The good news for the hosts is that influential attacker Rodrygo has overcome his injury. Both Dani Carvajal and David Alaba are long-term absentees. 

Los Rojillos, on the other hand, have been producing fine displays in the first half of the season, with the team sitting just bellow the Champions League berth. Osasuna, though, will have a mountain to climb against Real Madrid, who have turned their Estasdio Santiago Bernabeu into a real fortress. Last time out Carlo Ancelotti’s troops crushed los Rojillos 4-0 in Madrid. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.

Score Prediction: Real Madrid 3-0 Osasuna

Following a 1-1 draw with Chelsea, Manchester United will look to return to winning ways in the Europa League when they take on PAOK at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have drawn each of their first three games in the process and, no doubt, they are eager to record their first win on Thursday evening. Interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooij is likely to shuffle his pack, with all Amat Diallo, Joshua Zirkzee, and Victor Lindelof pushing for a start. 

The Eagles, on the other hand, played out a 2-2 draw with ten-man Plzen in their last Europa League game. PAOK, though, are not regarded as good travellers and seeing that Man Utd have been producing much better showings ever since Erik ten Hag left the club, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Ruud van Nistelrooij’s troops. Andrija Zivkovic is widely expected to return to PAOK’s starting XI after scoring a wonder goal in a come-from behind 2-1 win over Lamia.

Score Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 PAOK FC

David faces Goliath at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea and Noah lock horns in the Europa Conference League round 3 on Thursday evening. The Blues aim to retain top position in the standings and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Even though Enzo Maresca is expected to mix the squad, home win should be considered as Chelsea made a promising start to the new Premier League campaign. 

Cole Palmer is ineligible to face Noah, while Jadon Sancho misses out through illness. All Mykhailo Mudryk, Enzo Fernandez, Marc Cucurella, and Joao Felix should be recalled to the starting XI. The Armenians, on the other hand, head into Thursday’s clash without suspended midfielder Gustavo Sangare and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Chelsea’s party in London. Anyhow, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise.

Score Prediction: Chelsea 4-0 FC Noah

All eyes will be on Stadio Giuseppe Meazza when Inter and Arsenal take on each other in the Champions League derby on Wednesday evening. The Nerazzurri survived Venezia at the weekend, with Lautaro Martinez scoring the winner, but they will have a big fish to fry against Mikel Arteta’s men. The good news for the hosts is that key midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu is back after missing the Young Boys game with injury. 

The Gunners, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Newcastle United. Arsenal defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 in their last Champions League game and seeing that they are likely to adopt a cautious approach in Wednesday’s showdown, there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. This game comes too early for Martin Odegaard, while all Calafiori, Tierney, and Tomiyasu remain on the sidelines with injuries for the Premier League outfit.

Score Prediction: Inter Milan 1-1 Arsenal

Parc des Princes will be the centre of attention when PSG and Atletico Madrid square off against each other in the Champions League round 4. Les Parisiens are eyeing their second win of the process, but Wednesday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for Luis Enrique’s troops. Talented midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Lens, while all Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, and Goncalo Ramos remain on the treatment table. 

Los Rojiblancos, meanwhile, aim to recover from back-to-back defeats to Benfica and Lille, but given PSG’s fine form in all competitions, we predict that Diego Simeone’s troops are going to return to Madrid empty-handed. The likes of Rodrigo de Paul, Connor Gallagher, and Alexander Sorloth are all set to return to Atletico’s starting XI after the trio came off the bench in a 2-0 win over Las Palmas.

Score Prediction: PSG 2-1 Atletico Madrid

David faces Goliath at Stadion Rajko Mitic as Crvena Zvezda and Barcelona lock horns in the Champions League round 4. The Serbian champions are on a three-game wining run in all competitions, but they have been struggling in the new Champions League campaign, losing to all Benfica, Inter, and Monaco. As Nemanja Radonjic has joined Mirko Ivanic, Omri Glazer, Ognjen Mimovic, and Peter Olayinka in the recovery room, we are not tempted to bet on the underdogs. 

Barca, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their seventh consecutive win in all competitions. As previously mentioned, David faces Goliath in Belgrade and anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. Frenkie de Jong is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 3-1 win over Barcelona local rivals Espanyol. The likes of Ferran Torres, Martin ter Stegen, Eric Garcia, Andreas Christensen, and Ronald Araujo are injured for the Catalan outfit.

Score Prediction: Red Star Belgrade 1-4 Barcelona
