This dramatically increases the chances of Turan to be the titular, given the fact that during much of the last season he was the No. 3 scorer after Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

Free Football Picks - 22.08.2017

Astana vs. Celtic
The first match was heartening enough about who is the better team and who deserves its place in the Champions League groups. The victory of the Clovers with 5:0 hardly allows even the most bigoted Kazakh team fans hope for something. We believe that the players of Brendan Rodgers will not relax in the second leg and will achieve another victory. Our soccer forecast is 2.

Rijeka vs. Olympiacos
Olympiacos failed to do the job completely in Greece and now they have to push the maximum in Croatia. The victory with 2:1 still makes them a favorite for continuation to the groups, and in our opinion, they are the favorites for the victory on Croatian land. Our football prediction is 2.

Nice vs. Napoli
Nice failed to show its best face in Italy, but they are much stronger as hosts and we continue to believe that the French are highly underestimated by the local bookmakers. Undoubtedly, it will be unimaginably hard to neutralize the advance of Napoli by two clear goals, but at the same time we don`t expect any goals in the match at `Allianz Riviera`. Our soccer prediction is 1.

Sevilla vs. Istanbul BB
The Turkish champion has been magnificent in its home game by picksmachine against the very classy Spanish rival and has lost with only 1:2, but now the hard part of the task is coming, because in Spain Sevilla is even a more serious competitor. Although for the hosts a draw is a completely good outcome, we don`t think they will satisfy with it and will seek a victory. Our football forecast is 1.

Conte is dreaming of getting Kane

The Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is dreaming of the scorer of Tottenham Harry Kane, whom he described as a striker-dream for his team.
The Italian, who had attracted Alvaro Morata, expressed his admiration of the English national, who became the top scorer of the Premier League for the past two seasons, scoring a total of 54 goals.
`The Spurs have a very good team, and for me at the moment Kane is one of the top strikers in the world. If I could buy one scorer, this would be it. I would say that he is a complete player. He is very strong physically, played well with the ball, but without it and continues to fight.`, said Conte.
`I would say, however, that his price is at least 100 million pounds. At least. For him, though I know that it is worth the money.`, added the coach and revealed that the Londoners had no interest in Kyle Walker, who however chooses Manchester City.
`We tried to buy him. However, it is very hard these days to improve the team. I think all the players are extremely expensive regardless of what position they play on.`, he said.

Chelsea is going to get Morata

Chelsea has managed to find an alternative for the leaving Diego Costa and has negotiated involving Alvaro Morata of Real Madrid, according to the Spanish press.
According to the latest information, the two teams had agreed for the soccer player today and he will cost the team from the English capital around 80 million euros.
The newspapers also noted that within a few hours the Spanish international will leave the camp of his current team in Los Angeles to undergo medical examinations in London and to finalize his transfer to Stamford Bridge.
That will be his third team for the past three seasons after he played at Juventus.

Roma has prepared an offer for Nacho Fernandez

The Italian newspaper `Gazzetta dello Sport` revealed that the Italian champion Roma has prepared an offer for the Spanish central defender of Real Madrid - Nacho Fernandez. He is most likely going to be the replacement for the almost certainly leaving Antonio Rudiger and Kostas Manolas

Subsequently, Zidane relied on the Spaniard in 39 meetings from all tournaments, he scored 3 goals. But as a central defender, Fernandez showed impressive qualities as a left and a right back, where he had to play because of injuries of major players at the team of the Whites.
The Sporting Director of Roma - Monchi, is once again ready to test the Spanish champion with an offer for the defender as he sees him as just another piece of the puzzle in the way of the construction of the new Roma for season 2017/18.

Liverpool is the favorite for the signature of Virgil van Dijk

Liverpool took advantage in the fight for the Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk, according to the English media.
The Dutchman is a goal of some big clubs mentioned by mlb picks from the Premier League, as it is considered that he himself prefers to pass to the Anfield instead of Chelsea and Manchester City.
That is what puts the Merseysiders in the best position for his signature, but of course, they understand about the transfer fee with the team of the South Coast, which definitely is not going to be easy.
It is considered that the Saints will want more than four times more money for Virgil van Dijk than they paid for him two years ago and they will try to pry for fifteen million pounds for the player, which will turn him into the most expensive defender in the world.
So far from Liverpool refused to comment on this information, but it is believed that the defender is a priority for the manager Jurgen Klopp to reinforce the protection of the team. Virgil van Dijk himself wants to work with the German expert, but it is not yet clear whether that will happen.

Free Football Picks - 29.05.2017

Haecken vs. Oestersunds FK
We rely on hosts mainly because of the weak performances of Oestersunds FK in the games as a guest. They managed to win only four points in their five visits since the beginning of the season. Haecken has been presenting quite successfully since the beginning of the campaign and occupies the third position in the ranking. Last season, they won with 3:1 against Oestersunds FK in a home match. Our soccer prediction is 1.

Oerebro vs. Sirius
Oerebro has been presenting quite poorly in the last rounds, despite its good start. They have earned two points in the last seven rounds. The freshman Sirius, on the other hand, presents a high level and is the fifth and is only five points away from the leader. Sirius has an advantage, although the match is a visit, and when that odd at stake for them is worth it. Our soccer forecast is 2.

AIK vs. Malmoe FF
And here we would bet on the team with a higher odd. Last season, Malmoe FF became the champion, AIK finished the second. AIK has not been playing badly against Malmoe FF in recent years and has a positive balance - seven of these victories against only two to Malmoe FF. And at the moment they are in the better shape, winning their last three matches, while Malmoe FF led to a loss and draw in the last two rounds. Our football prediction is 1.

Flora Tallinn vs. JK Sillamae Kalev
The favorite for the title Flora Tallinn confronts the underdog JK Sillamae Kalev. Flora Tallinn won four of the last five games against JK Sillamae Kalev with two or more goals. The team is now in an amazing series of 12 consecutive wins, 11 of which came with a handicap. We don`t see great chances in that match for the guests. Our football forecast is 1 with handicap -1 goal.

`Sometimes when I look at teams and players at Arsenal when it comes to winning the Premier League thinking what are the reasons not to succeed. Often we lose or we draw at home when we are better than the other team and that is a major problem.`, said Sanchez.
`Sometimes the feeling of frustration more than anything else is connected with the fact that we could win the title in the Premiership. I have always said that we have great players here, always thinking about the victory when we go out on the field.`
`That is what we did in the last three games, we had the mentality to win at any cost, we won and we won well. I don`t know if the season can be called successful or not, but I think it would be positive to beat Chelsea in the final predicted by soccer predictions of the FA Cup.`, said Alexis, who is probably going to be a new addition to Bayern Munich.

Tuchel: `We had luck in the game against Bayern!`

The Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel confessed that his boys had great luck in the last night`s win against Bayern Munich with 3:2.
`The yellow-black became the first team in history, who will play in the final mentioned by handball picks for the Cup of Germany in four consecutive seasons. It is striking that two years ago they again beat Bayern at their stadium Allianz Arena.
`At the first 20 minutes we started very well and we led deservedly in the result. We had two more positions through Aubameyang and Guerreiro, we were doing generally very well on the field.`, began Tuchel.
`Then, however, Bayern started playing better and we managed to hold the ball and we were not stable in one on one battles. The Bavarians failed to score a third goal before the break and we should be happy that we got the only two goals in the first part.`
`Bayern had its moment for the third goal and in the second half. If they had scored a goal, then it would become very difficult and almost impossible for us to get back in the match. And now we were going to be defeated completely deserved. We had great luck in some situations. But luck is a part of football.`
`Those situations affect such big matches and our self-confidence back, we were playing around better. We were better in the one on one battles and retention of the ball. We did not dominate, but we were a lot better on the pitch. We got two great goals and we defended bravely.`
&It is an amazing feeling to win, because we had the hardest task - to qualify for the final, passing through Munich. Our victory is priceless in terms of our development team and building the character of the team.` added Thomas.
