02:00 Palmeiras vs Cuiaba
Palmerias are winless in the league matches this July yet they have a massive chance to restore their league leading status when they host Cuiaba, a side that blanked them 2-0 in their last visit here.
My prediction: Palmeiras will win
13:10 Manchester United vs Crystal Palace
Ten Hag’s side enter their 3rd match having won 2/2 on Tour 2022 so far. The Reds have scored a total of eight goals, conceding just one. Meanwhile, the Eagle’s have just 8 senior players for this clash.
My prediction: Man U will win
22:00 Sporting vs AS Roma
Mourinho’s side beat Portimonense with clear superiority, by 2-0 in their last friendly. Roma have further bolstered their attack after fending off competition from Napoli and signed 28 year old Argentine international Paulo Dybala.
My prediction: over 2.5 match goals
19:30 Salzburg vs Ajax
Dutch elite division champions Ajax have travelled with majority of their new signings including Mohammed Kudus and Hassane Bande, Burkina Faso forward.
My prediction: Ajax will win
19:00 Qarabag vs Zurich (UCL)
After a 4 year absence from UEFA competitions, Swiss champions Zurich face an equally motivated Baku-based Qarabag made the most of home advantage to eliminate Lech Poznan from the competition.
My prediction: over 2.5 match goals
20:45 Midtylland vs AEK Larnaca (UCL)
They are facing each other for the first time. They have conceded at least a goal in five straight games but are expected to utilize their home advantage in this UEFA Champions League qualifier.
My prediction: Midtylland will win
22:00 RSB Berkane vs Youssoufia Berrechid
RSB Berkane won this (Moroccan Coupé De Trone) tournament 4 years ago. They finished 6th in the Moroccan PL and also won the CAF confederation tournament. The last meeting between these sides ended 4-0 in favour of Berkane.
My prediction: Berkane will win
22:00 D. Zaghreb vs Shkupi (UCL)
Last season, Dinamo Zaghreb won the Croatian championship for a record 23rd time. They have scored 3+ goals in each and every game since May 21.
My prediction: Home win
