Football on two continents
The Africa Cup of Nations, the English Premier League, the Supercopa de España and Serie A in our digest of the week’s key football games.
AFCON quarter-finals
On Friday, two of the four semi-finalists of the Africa Cup of Nations will be determined.
09.01: Mali vs Senegal
Mali and Senegal will kick off the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations. The Lions of Teranga are the hot favorites for the match. Therefore, you can bet on their victory at odds of 1.59. Mali haven’t won a single game in regular time in the tournament and are unlikely to make it to the semi-finals. However, everything is possible during the knockout phase, isn’t it?
09.01: Cameroon vs Morocco
The Morocco national team is the favorite not only for the upcoming match, but also for the entire Africa Cup of Nations. The odds for the Atlas Lions to win are 1.56. Only a sensation will prevent the tournament hosts from advancing to the next stage.
Battles between the giants of European club football
The top teams of England, Spain and Italy will also fight this week.
08.01: Arsenal vs Liverpool
A mega event in the EPL! The league leaders face the reigning champions. The odds for Arsenal to win are a record low of 1.61. But don’t forget that Liverpool are one of only two clubs to have beaten Mikel Arteta’s team this season.
08.01: Atlético vs Real Madrid
The Madrid derby in the Supercopa de España semi-final. The game between the arch-rivals will be played on neutral ground in Saudi Arabia and is sure to be a high-scoring affair. It might be useful to take a look at a Total Over 2.5 with odds at 1.71 meaning there will be scored 3 and more goals. After all, 7 goals were scored in their last H2H match!
11.01: Inter Milan vs Napoli
On Sunday night, the Scudetto contenders will clash in the main match in Serie A. You couldn’t ask for a better end to the week! Inter are the favorites, with odds of 1.77 on a win. But Napoli are no pushovers, remaining unbeaten at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in their last two H2H battles.
NHL: hot clashes on ice
From the huge number of matches, we’ve picked out the most anticipated ones.
11.01: Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings
The Oilers and Kings are desperately fighting to make it into the top 8 of the Western Conference. Last season, Edmonton beat Los Angeles in the Stanley Cup first round.
13.01: Colorado Avalanche vs Toronto Maple Leafs
Colorado are the undisputed NHL leaders, with the most reliable defense and the most aggressive attack. This Avalanche will sweep away all the Maple Leafs.
14.01: Boston Bruins vs Detroit Red Wings
A match between teams from the Original Six is always interesting. One might think that Boston are no longer the formidable force they used to be, and Detroit are among the leaders of the Eastern Conference. But this is the NHL, where underdogs are always capable of defeating favorites!
That’s what the hottest upcoming fixtures this week are. Melbet: the game goes on!
