Chelsea fired Mourinho

The dismissal of Jose Mourinho is a fact. The 52-year-old Portuguese ends his second stand at the helm of Chelsea barely seven months after he brought them to the title in the Premier League.
Londoners are currently on the 16th position in the provisional standings with only 15 points after 4 wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats since the start of the season.
Mourinho left Chelsea just a point away from the relegation zone in England. The Portuguese signed a new four-year contract on 7 August, then as the most successful manager of the Blues.
Jose Mourinho has won three titles in the Premier League with Chelsea, as two of them - in 2004 and 2007 were during his first stay.
We don`t think Mourinho will stay long without work, given his success with Chelsea and other European teams.

AZ Alkmaar vs Astra Giurgiu

The Dutch AZ Alkmaar is going to welcome today the Romanian Astra Giurgiu, in a rematch from the playoffs for an entry into the Europa League. Here is our soccer forecast - take a look.
Romanians took their fragile lead after winning with 3:2. This match was very dramatic, after the Dutch took the lead in the first 13 minutes of the match, but by the end of the first part Astra Giurgiu managed to turn things to their advantage.
AZ Alkmaar was considered as a favorite in this duel, but after the defeat at Romania, the guys of the coach Jon van der Brom significantly will have to work harder if they want to play in the group stage of the Europa League. Before this match, the Dutch made the Turkish Istanbul BB drop out after 2 wins - 2:0 at home and 2:1 away. After these meetings the team of the hosts fell into a mini crisis and now for four straight games they have not had a victory, after two defeats and a draw in the Eredivisie. The young Norwegian striker of Olympiacos Marcus Enriksen will again lead the attack of the team, as he`s already distinguished with three goals since the start of the season. And his partner in attack will be another young player in the team of the hosts - Vincent Jensen.
Astra Giurgiu is one of the pleasant surprises in these qualifications of the Europa League. The team threw the bomb after the English side in the last round, West Ham came after a 2:2 draw in England and the 2:1 success at home. And before that, the Romanians threw another representative of the island - Scottish Inverens with the aggregate score 1:0. Astra Giurgiu is presented very convincing in the Romanian Championship, after eight rounds of the team is the sole leader in the standings. A major role in the midfield will be for Christian Budesku, who has already realized the three goals in the competition, and the Brazilian midfielder Rick is the other key player Boldrin for the guests from Romania.
Our soccer prediction by volleyball predictions is definitely 1.

Athletic Bilbao - Barcelona (Primera Division) 23.08.2015

After the battle for the Spanish Super Cup, Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona will meet again, but this time in the first match of the 2015/2016 season of the Spanish Primera Division. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 7.00 for a home win, with a draw at 4.75 and 1.44 for the victory of the guests.

Athletic Bilbao starts the new season after a very important success in the tournament mentioned by football predictions for the Spanish Super Cup, in which surprisingly managed to totally outplay the team of Barcelona with 5:1 a total score of the two games. This victory came after more than 30 years of failures in the tournament mentioned by football predictions and will be very important for the launch of the "Basques" in the new season. The team participated in the Europa League, where recorded a victory over the team of Zilina a few days ago. Now against Barcelona, at the "San Mames" Athletic Bilbao will not have any worries and besides the elimination of Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, as hosts they have only one defeat in six rounds against the Catalan giants.

Barcelona failed to win the trophy of the Spanish Super Cup and now will seek a binding success, with which to make it up a little bit for their fans and the club owners. Anyway, the team won another trophy - the European Super Cup in a very dramatic match against Sevilla, finished with 5:4 in favor of Barcelona. During the summer transfer window, the team did not perform any transactions since been banned by the federation.

Athletic Bilbao is a very strong in its household appearances, and Barcelona showed many gaps in the defense, which will probably lead to an effective match. The last meeting between the two teams in La Liga here ended with the score 2:5 in favor of Barcelona, but today the visitors will hardly have the opportunity for such an outcome.

Recommended bet: Over 3.5 goals @ 1.50 at bet365

Jose Mourinho continues to have problems with his attackers. Diego Costa, Didier Drogba and Loic Remy have problems with injuries and are doubtful for the visit of "King Power". The Brazilian Oscar also is out of training, because of a slight injury. He is still into the group for the game on Wednesday, but is unlikely to be risked by Jose Mourinho. Instead Oscar, in midfield will start Ramirez, who will act in front of Matic and Fabregas in the center of midfield of Chelsea.

We expect a very interesting match and serious resistance from the hosts. Leicester is in great shape and will be much more motivate team. The last three matches of Chelsea in the Premier League ended with under 2.5 goals and the problems of Jose Mourinho with the injuries of his attacking players will bring a similar outcome.

Recommended bets:
Under 2.5 goals @ 1.95 at bet365
For Chelsea @ 1.75 at bet365

Udinese - AC Milan (Serie A)

In a match of the 32nd round of the Italian Serie A, Udinese hosts Milan. The meeting at "Friuli" will be played on Saturday, 25 April 2015. In September, the Milan giants won with 2:0 against today`s rival, but now their task will be far more difficult. On this terrain, Milan is not very strong and always experienced difficulties in their visits to Udine. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 3.10 for a home win, with a draw at 3.25 and 2.38 for the victory of the guests.

Udinese has 35 points collected and occupies the 15th place in the standings. "Zebras" do not fight for nothing, because they are away from the relegation zone and more far away from the places entitling participation in European tournaments. The team is in desperate shape, looking for its first win in seven meetings. For those last seven matches, the hosts recorded five draws and lost twice. The presentation of the team in front of its audience is also not satisfactory. Udinese won once at home for the previous ten meetings. Despite the weak current form, the composition can is able to goals, as the last three home matches of team ended with over 2.5 goals.

Milan still has some minimal chances of ranking in the Europa League this fall, but needs to hope for a miracle. The team takes the 9th place in the standing with a total of 43 points. Milan is still not constant in his performances, as after two wins in March followed two draws with the composition of Sampdoria (1:1) and against the eternal city rivals of Inter in the previous round of The Italian Calcio (0:0). The Rossoneri experienced one of the poorest seasons in their entire history, but still has some chances.

Prediction: Over 2.5 goals @ 2.15 at bet365

Soccer Picks

Today, we are granting you four reliable football picks via football picks - you only have to choose whether you will bet on all of those matches or just some of them. Meanwhile, get familiar with our brief analyses:

Atletico Madrid vs. Bayer Leverkusen
Atletico Madrid have made a loss in the first eighth-final clash on German land, but now we think the audience will be able to defeat. Bayer is in a good domestic form, but in its recent appearances on foreign land, it was vulnerable. As a whole, the class in the team of the hosts is at a higher level. Though last year they reached the final of this tournament. Our soccer forecast is 1.

Monaco vs. Arsenal
After the first leg of Arsenal`s situation is very severe. They lost at home with the result of 3:1 in the first game and now they have to chase a compulsory victory with two goals difference and at least three goals scored. That is a mandatory prerequisite for extremely aggressive play by the guests, which may end in a very unpleasant way for them. Given the gaps in the defense of the guests, this strip in defense will hardly lead to something good. Monaco has played very well and we expect it to not lose today. So, our soccer prediction is 1X.

Haskovo vs. Slavia
That is the last round of the first stage of the Bulgarian Championship. Both teams will remain in the botto, but they are already fighting for relegation. Rather, the struggle is for the guests because it is nearly 100% sure that the hosts will drop out. Only a miracle could save them, after having only 7 points from 21 matches. Slavia`s 20 points and has a solid chance to be saved. That, however, goes through a compulsory victory over underdog in the Bulgarian Championship. Our football forecast is 2.

Wigan Athletic vs. Watford
Here we have a team struggling to stay in the division, and a team, struggling for a rise in the top League. The hosts are on the 22ndplace in the relegation zone, while the guests are second with the same amount of points as the first ones. The battle at the top in the ranking is very cruel and every point is of utmost importance. Of course, and for the hosts the summit is important, but they have had a five-game losing streak at home. The guests have had 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 fights. Our football prediction is 2.

Free Football Picks

Select the match (or matches) of your choice and trust our professional football picks predicted by football-capper if you are going to bet today! See what we are talking about:

Lazio vs. Fiorentina
Both teams are in good form and occupy adjacent positions in the standings and we`d probably identify them with equal chances of success, but the circumstances are now different. Both teams played for the Cup of Italy but Lazio has had one more day of rest. In addition, Fiorentina is going to have a key match for the Europa League after just a few days on Thursday, which may be much more important to them than this fight. Adding the home advantage, the chances of the Eagles to win become extremely large. And our soccer forecast is 1.

Cordoba vs. Getafe
We do not share the opinion of the bookmakers that give the lower odd for the hosts. But Cordoba, who are in last place in the standings, is in a series of six consecutive games, while the 14th-placed Getafe has had two wins in the last four matches. The odds for the guests are quite good,you can still try to double the chance as you bet with X2. But still our main football prediction for this game is 2.

Beitar Jerusalem vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv
The main favorite for the title in the Israel is Beitar Jerusalem. The guests did not perform very well in the last few rounds but in the last round they won and now can now breathe easy. Though the victory for them is obligatory, because otherwise they will lose their advantage. The guests have proven to be the best team in this country, so if they play at 100% against the 6th team in the standings, they are going to win without a problem. Our football forecast is 2.

Lokomotiv Sofia vs. Cherno more
Lokomotiv Sofia performed great in the first round after the resumption of the Championship when they defeated with 2:0 the leader in the standings CSKA. The Black Sea also won, but it was as a host. It is known that the Mariners have built a veritable fortress of stadium Ticha, but away from home they don`t perform so convincingly. If we have to see things historically, the games between these two teams almost always were won by the hosts. We expect that trend to be continued. Our soccer prediction is 1.

Roma vs Juventus

Today, Roma and Juventus are going to play against each other in the final match for the 25th round of the Italian Serie A. You can watch the clash on the websites of the most popular online bookmakers live stream. And it is for free!

Well, if you are just about to place some bets, then you will need some reliable soccer tips. We have some good news for you - you may find them here right away.

Before the end of this derby, Juve has had 9 points more than Roma. Both teams take the first and the second place respectively in the provisional rankings, and the first meeting between them from the Championship was at the beginning of October month last year. It ended with a victory for Juventus with a final result adviced by football-capper.com of 3:2 with two red cards and a very questionable judging.

ROMA
In the end, Roma has had success over Juventus and knows how to defeat this adversary, as it did about a year ago here at the Olimpico in a meeting of the tournament for the Cup of Italy. The footballers of Rudy Garcia look forward to this rematch, which until some time looked doomed for the hosts, but the situation in the team has a little change and 'Romans` can still dream of the title that was considered lost.

Roma have not lost a game since 1 November 2014, but for the last month and a half it had a serious series of draws, which brought them some points and so failed to shorten the gap with Juventus. Already today the chance to converge on six points to the leader is real and such a possibility should not be ignored. A few days ago, Roma managed to crack down and for the next stage in the Europa League after they defeated Feyenoord 2-1 and suspended them from the tournament.

That win will certainly affect the players in a positive direction, but it should be noted that Garcia continues to have several serious problems with injured players, among which are Seydou Doumbia, Victor Ibarbo, Maicon, Leandro Castan, Federico Balzaretti and Kevin Strootman.

JUVENTUS
The champions are in a very good shape. Massimiliano Allegri`s team has had only one loss during the season, and last week they defeated with 2:1 Borussia Dortmund in a meeting of the 1/16 finals of the Champions League. The overall mood at the club is good but Allegri still has some problems.

The senior coach remains without several key players in the midfield against Roma. The first one is the playmaker Andrea Pirlo, who needs to be changed against Borussia Dortmund. His teammate in the midfield Paul Pogba is also injured. Along with them, Asamoa, Romulo Kvadvo and Luca Morone are out, too. Vidal has some issues, too, but it will be decided if he will play before the start of the meeting. Because of these shortages, probably Allegri will incorporate into the game Sturaro Stefano and Luca Marona.

SOCCER PREDICTION FOR ROMA VS. JUVENTUS:
Juventus definitely has more confidence in that match, but we don`t have to drop Roma, who now can defeat Juventus and so renew its battle for winning the Calcio!

Our football forecast for that event is 0 (Asian Handicap).

Real Sociedad - Sevilla (Primera Division)

Real Sociedad takes Sevilla in a meeting of 24th round of the Spanish Primera Division. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 2.90 for a home win, with a draw at 3.30 and 2.50 for the victory of the guests.

Real Sociedad takes the 13th place in the standings with 24 points. The team is away from the relegation zone, but has no chance to participate in European club competitions. In the previous two games in La Liga, Real Sociedad made two draws against Almeria 2:2 and Celta Vigo 1:1. The team shows good game in front of his audience and in the last seven households has only one defeat, four victories and two draws. The top scorer Carlos Vela continues to treat injury and will not take part in this match. With injuries are defenders Carlos Martinez and Mikel Gonzalez and midfielder David Zurutuza. Out of the accounts of the coaching staff is another key defender Yuri Berchiche, who is suspended.

Sevilla takes the 5th place in the table with a total of 45 points. The team continue to fight against Valencia for the fourth place, from which is two points behind. At the weekdays, Sevilla had a tough match against Borussia Monchengladbach in the Europa League, but won with 1:0 after a goal by Vicente Iborra. In the previous round of La Liga, the team won at home against Cordoba with the classical 3:0. The coach Unai Emery has a few problems to solve before the meeting of the "Anoeta". With punishment for this match is the Polish midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak. Also with injures is the camp of Sevilla are goalkeeper Beto, Stephane Mbia, Coke and Iago Aspas.

Sevilla had a hard game with Real Sociedad in autumn, which finished with victory (1:0). Now we expect an interesting and tense duel between them. When we look at their last three direct meetings, forecast predicted by football-capper for under 2.5 goals does not seem a bad idea.

Prediction Real Sociedad - Sevilla: Under 2.5 goals
Security: 7/10

Marseille vs Reims

Today, you may relish the derby Olympique Marseille vs. Reims/France, Ligue 1 - the hosts finally have received a chance to come out ahead before the Saturday matches. Last week, these players squandered after a draw in the match against Rennes. Now, however, the team of Marcelo Bielsa will be extremely motivated to take the lead in the standings before the matches of its rivals Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon. The duel between the two chambers in the autumn ended with a landslide victory for Olympique de Marseille - 5:0. If you are wondering whether to place some bets or not, then you should first take a look at our reliable football predictions and then decide for yourself.

OLYMPIQUE DE MARSEILLE
Despite some of the tentative results lately Olympique continues to be with enormous chances for the title, at least the experts say so. The fans of the team has been longing for that trophy and now, the boys of Marcelo Bielsa are required to defeat Reims at 'Stade Velodrome`. The new recruit Lucas Okampos, who arrived from Monaco has brought a point for his team against Rennes in the last round after having appeared as a backup. It is now expected the former teammate of Dimitar Berbatov to start the match at the expense of the wavering lately Romeen Alessandri. Andre Au has returned from the tournament for the Cup of African Nations and can already be used. The player, however, is likely to remain on the bench and will appear as needed after the break. The match with Reims misses Mario Lemina, who received a red card at the end of the match with Rennes and will be punished. Nicholas N `Kolu won`t be ready for the derby. The absence of the last two opens good positions for the Genus Fannie and Jacques Alexis-Romao.

REIMS
The Reds don`t have a single win in Ligue 1 in the calendar year 2015. For five games Jean-Luc Vasor`s boys have had no success, having lost four of the matches. However, Reims is stable in the middle of the table, but we must not allow the negative series to last long. The match will be difficult, but the Reds will try to hinder their famous opponent. Reims will be without the long-term absentees Sasha Bastejn, Jan Benedik, Brejon Kai and Mads Albek. The latter however resumes workouts during the week, but hardly will fall even in the group for Friday`s match. Jean-Luc Vasor can already count on the usual eleven players after the tournament for the cup of Nations is completed. That means good positions for Prince Oniange and Odair Fortes.

Our football forecast by football picks is a victory for Olympique de Marseille (-1.0 Asian Handicap)

Elche - Rayo Vallecano (Primera Division)

Ranked last in the league Elche hosts Rayo Vallecano in the final match of the 22nd round of the Spanish Primera Division. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 2.60 for a home win, with a draw at 3.20 and 2.80 for the victory of the guests. Elche is one of the most endangered teams, although is only two points away from salvation, while guests are on 14th position with five points clear of the danger zone.

Elche is in crisis, although a few rounds managed to win twice in a row. Team played in the tournament for the King`s Cup, but their participation was terminated by Barcelona, which literally humiliated them with a total score of 9-0 from both games and before two rounds defeated them again with six goals. Until recently, the coach Fran Escriba could not use the Brazilian scorer - Jonatas, who create almost half of the goals scored by Elche in the season, but the punishment for accumulated yellow cards has expired and the attacker will be online. With him in the game is back Domingo Cisma. The only player who remains out of the composition is Damian Suarez.

Rayo Vallecano is one of the most interesting performing teams in La Liga. Team recorded only two draws for the past 21 rounds, both draws were in the first and second round of the championship. Moreover, Rayo Vallecano is one of the few teams that play better away from home than at home, earning more than twice as many points in an away game. Rayo Vallecano has won their last three away games and arrives at "Martinez Valero" for the fourth consecutive victory. Elche defeated them as guests in the championship with 2-3, which is also a good reason for the team to be motivated to win. Paco Jemez will be able to use all the major players, as the only player who remains out of the composition is defender Abdoulaye Ba, but with the attacking formation hardly will be felt.

Elche has only one advantage in this match - the household. Rayo Vallecano difficult will lose as a guest, but just in case our forecast via football predictions for this match is 0 Asian Handicap for Rayo Vallecano. With this bet, if the game ends in a draw, your bet will be back!

Prediction Elche - Rayo Vallecano: 0 AH (Rayo Vallecano)
Security: 7/10
Odds: 1.95 at bet365
