Milan looked great at the start of the season. Stefano Pioli’s team made a minimum of mistakes and did not allow Napoli to go into a serious gap, which started flawlessly. However, the Rossoneri failed to carry out the entire first round at a given pace. From time to time the club began to make mistakes, which Inter immediately took advantage of, which it was not possible to keep up with in the first half of the season. Overall Milan are still title contenders. They are currently second in the table with 48 points. Leaders Inter are only two points clear, but the Nerazzurri still have a match in hand. In the last round, Milan unexpectedly lost at home with a score 1:2 to Spice, thus interrupting a series of three victories in a row.
Barcelona got off to a poor start in the Copa del Rey, where, after defeating Linares (2:1), the Catalans ended their performance in this tournament in the second round, losing in extra time to Atletico Madrid (2:3). The trip to Saudi Arabia was unsuccessful, where the “blue garnet” finished their performance in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup, unable to cope with Real Madrid. Everything was decided by the ball in extra time. In the La Liga tournament Xavi’s wards have eight wins and draws each, which brought 32 points and sixth position in the table. It should be noted that the gap from the fourth Atletico is only one point. In 2022 Barca started with a 1:0 victory over Mallorca, followed by a 1:1 draw with Granada. Araujo, Wage, Garcia, De Jong and Roberto, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to play today. More soccer bet predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
