Issue 25196 football fourteen matches, Newcastle takes advantage of the situation, Chelsea shows strength at home, Villa remains steady

1. Burnley VS Newcastle

The home team drew 0-0 with Everton at home last round but still shows no signs of bouncing back. Several key players have gone to the Africa Cup, which adds to their difficulties.

The away team lost narrowly 1-0 to Manchester United last round, has not won in two matches, but faced strong opponents. The away team traditionally struggles away from home.

The data favors the away team with considerable support. For the away team to make progress this season, they must secure enough points against weaker teams. Coupled with the home team’s shortage of players, this is a major advantage for the away side.

Away win

2. Chelsea VS Bournemouth

The home team was defeated 1-2 at home by a hot-form Villa last round. Recently, their performance has been quite inconsistent.

The away team has been completely out of form lately, suffering a heavy 1-4 loss at Brentford last round. Their first meeting ended in a draw, and with home and away reversed this time, the home team holds the upper hand.

The data strongly supports the home team, though both sides have similar attacking capabilities. If the home team wants to secure a Champions League spot next season, they must earn enough points against teams like this.

First choice home win, second choice draw

3. Nottingham VS Everton

The home team lost 1-2 at home to Manchester City last round but showed decent attacking ability throughout the match.

The away team drew 0-0 away with Burnley last round, and the players appeared somewhat tired and unmotivated during the game.

The data supports the home team with moderate strength. Both teams have shown similar recent form, with the away team even slightly better.

Home win

4. Arsenal VS Villa

In their first meeting, the home team lost 1-2 to the away side. Although the home team had more possession, Villa’s counterattacks were more effective. Villa has been on a winning streak recently, boosting their morale.

The data heavily favors the home team, ignoring Villa’s strong current form. This could be risky.

First choice home win, second choice draw

5. Manchester United VS Wolves

The home team has shown some good form recently, but their key striker is away at the Africa Cup, which is unfavorable. The away team showed signs of improvement last round against Liverpool.

The data supports the home team strongly, but their home form is not entirely stable.

First choice home win, second choice draw

6. Coventry VS Ipswich

The home team is far ahead, leading third place by 13 points, making promotion almost certain as long as they don’t falter. They are particularly strong at home and remain undefeated this season.

The away team is in third place but trails by a significant margin, making promotion difficult this season. Their away form is inconsistent.

The data shows no clear bias but gives some confidence to the home team. From recent offense and defense, the away team is not weak.

First choice home win, second choice draw

7. Letchworth VS Derby County

The home team’s performance is disappointing, while the away team has been performing quite well lately. Their offense and defense are comparable to the home team.

The data supports the home team, but this level of support may not be sufficient and could even be risky.

First choice home win, second choice away win

8. Middlesbrough VS Hull City

The data gives strong support to the home team, but the away team has also been performing well recently, with both teams showing strong attacking ability. This support might be excessive.

10. Norwich VS Watford

The home team has been in good form recently, showing clear survival fight spirit, while the away team has also performed well lately.

11. Birmingham VS Southampton

The data is neutral, but the home team is strong at home. The away team has had some issues away recently, though their overall recent attacking performance remains better than the home team’s.

12. Roma VS Genoa

The home team is fighting hard to qualify for next season’s Champions League, but their recent performance has been unstable; adjustments are expected.

The data supports the home team with decent strength.

13. Uganda VS Nigeria

There is a significant strength gap between the two sides, but the data is quite conservative, still supporting the away team but not strongly enough.
