Paris Saint-Germain - Metz (Ligue 1)

Paris Saint Germain takes Metz in the final match of the 34th round of the French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Tuesday (April 28, 2015) and will be broadcast live online on the website of Bet365.com where we can find the odds for the home side at 1.14, with a draw at 8.00 and the victory of the guests reaches 19.00.

PSG is in great shape, especially after the last round when made a real spectacle against Lille, beating them here on the "Parc des Princes" with 6-1. After this fourth consecutive victory of "Parisians", they ranked second in the league with an equal number of points with the champion Lyon, but with a game in hand, which means that even after the end of this game can lead the standings. Paris Saint-Germain won over today`s rival with 3:2 in the first match between them this campaign in November. The coach Laurent Blanc will not be able to rely on the injured Salvatore Sirigu (second goalkeeper), Serge Aurier (defender) and the striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. With question remains the participation of the central defender Thiago Silva. In excellent shape are Lavezzi and Cavani, as the first was marked with a hat trick in the last round.

Metz continues the battle for survival, but is still located on the 19th place with 30 points collected. The team was very close to winning three valuable points in the asset against Bordeaux, but allowed to be cleared levelled after leading almost all game. Still can`t be denied that the team is on the rise and the risk of falling had its influence. The team is unbeaten in the last four rounds, registering two wins and two draws. There are no serious problems for the coach Albert Cartier and all of the titular players are online. In good shape is one of the veterans on the team - Florent Malouda, who despite his 34 years plays at full speed on the full 90 minutes.

PSG and Metz literally occupy an opposite sides of the table. The hosts are undoubtedly big favorite in this match, but we must not exclude the chances of Metz to score.

Manchester City - Aston Villa (Premier League)

Manchester City welcomes Aston Villa to "Etihad Stadium" in a match of the 34th round of the Premier League. The meeting is on Saturday - April 25, 2015, and chief judge of the match will be Mike Dean. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 1.29 for a home win, with a draw at 6.00 and 12.00 fir the victory of the guests. The two teams already played against each other in autumn 2014, when late goals from Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero brought the victory for "the citizens" with 2:0 at "Villa Park".

Manchester City won the household against West Ham last week with 2:0. "The citizens" interrupted a series of 2 consecutive defeats and confirmed their position in the Top 4 for the moment. However, if they want to play in the Champions League next year, the boys of Manuel Pellegrini should not be granted until the end of the season. Before hosting the Villa, with problems in the camp of the City is the captain Vincent Kompany, who may not play more during the season. Also with injuries are Stevan Jovetic, Wilfried Bony and Gael Clichy. The trauma that received David Silva is not serious and the Spaniard will start the game behind the only striker in the scheme of Pellegrini - Sergio Aguero.

Aston Villa is in serious upswing after the last week when ranked to the FA Cup final. The team prevailed over Liverpool with a 2:1 and secured the match for the oldest trophy in the world against Arsenal. In the championship, after the arrival of Tim Sherwood, Villa almost escaped of the relegation after a series of good games. However, it is still threatened and any points are valuable. With injuries before this hard visit to "Etihad" are Chris Herd, Alan Hutton, Nathan Baker, Ciaran Clark, Aly Cissokho, Philippe Senderos and Libor Kozak. In midfield, Tim Sherwood again will release the young Jack Grealish, who left some great impressions a week ago at Wembley. In attack will operate Christian Benteke, who is in great shape and does not stop scoring goals.

Aston Villa`s attack plays aggressive recently and scored a lot of goals. Manchester City has wonderful performers in attack, so with a view of this our expectations are for a lot of goals on the late Saturday match of the Premier League.

Prediction: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.50 at bet365

Bayern Munich - Porto (Champions League)

Bayern Munich takes Porto in a rematch of the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The match will be played at the stadium "Allianz Arena" in Munich on Tuesday. The first meeting ended with a surprise victory at the gates of "Estadio do Dragao" with 3-1.

Bayern Munich needs to catch a lot if wants to continue to the semi-finals of the prestigious tournament. The team leads convincingly in the Bundesliga and the full attention have to be turned to the Champions League. Pep Guardiola`s boys must win with a score of at least 2-0, which will send them to the semi-finals.

As we expected in this meeting the hosts are favorites with odds for their victory at 1.33, while the success of Porto reaches 10.00. However, interesting option is for Porto to continue to the semifinals - 1.83 at Bet365, with 2.00 for Bayern Munich to qualify.

Bayern Munich will make pressure to his opponents from the beginning of the game in search of an early goal, which will bring significant dose of peace for the team. If everything goes well, Porto will be lucky to allow only two goals at the "Allianz Arena".

Over the weekend, Bayern won easily as guests against Hoffenheim with 0-2, but still has problems with injured and suspended players in camp. Those are David Alaba, Medhi Benatia, Javi Martinez, Franck Ribery, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Arjen Robben and Tom Starke. The hopes of ranking will fall on the shoulders of Lewandowski, Muller and Mario Gotze. Schweinsteiger has a minimum chance to play, but hardly will play a full game.

Porto really surprised with his performance in the first meeting. Nobody expected such a triumph over Bayern, but the players of Julen Lopetegui know very well that their work is not done yet. Overall, the team does not do well for the first time and has not committed any loss in eleven consecutive games in the Champions League.

Porto will not be at his full strength and the problems of Julen Lopetegui are mainly in defense, where he is not able to rely on Alex Sandro and Danilo. Also with minor injuries are Jackson Martinez and Cristian Tello, but there is still some chance for them to be included in the game. However there is good news for Julien. The young Brazilian - Carlos Henrique Casemiro rerturns after injury and will be able to take his place in the defense of Porto.

Prediction: Draw @ 5.50 at bet365

The champion Cornet left Katowice after bereavement

The tournament in Katowice, which is the category WTA International, will have a new champion. This happened after Alize Cornet suffered a loss in the quarterfinals and failed in her attempt to defend the trophy from the last season.

The Frenchwoman slid with 2:6, 0:6 to the 20 years old Slovakian Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in a match that lasted just over an hour.

It is important to note that Cornet had physical problems and ended the game with a large bandage on her left thigh.

In the second part Cornet had several excellent opportunities to win at least a game to her account and to avoid the "nut", but at the end it did not happen and she recorded one of the worst losses in her career.

At the semi-final Schmiedlova will face the Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck. She beat her compatriot Kirsten Flipkens with 6:2, 6:4.

Later today will be played the other two quarterfinals in the tournament, as the battle that grabs the most interest is that between the leader of the scheme Agnieszka Radwanska and Klara Koukalova.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad

Atletico Madrid welcomes at 'Vicente Calderon` the team of Real Sociedad in a match of the 30th round of the Spanish La Liga. Consider that a possibility not only to entertain yourself but win some money, tbecause of our soccer tips!
Atletico Madrid is in an excellent shape, but now we found them going against one of the few teams who managed to successfully oppose them this season, defeating them with 1:2 last year, in November. For today`s match, the players of Atletico are set as favourites with odds set for their victory by 1.30, while the visiting team of Real Sociedad odds reach up to 9.50.
In the provisional ranking Atletico de Madrid occupied the third place, with an asset of 62 points, behind the second, Real Madrid by five points and the first, Barcelona that has 9. Their chances of getting the title are almost impossible, think the experts, so the team will need to focus on the current position.
Only a few days ago, Atletico Madrid beat Cordoba far from home with 0:2, with which he managed to outdo Valencia and took over the third place. The senior coach of the team, namely Diego Simeone failed to achieve six rounds without a single loss, and at home his players have had only one defeat from the start of the season.
Against Real Sociedad, the hosts will remain Gaby Fernandez and the defender Jesus Games out of the game, and the late fitness test will be passed by the half Raul Garcia and the striker Raul Jimenez. Simeone will probably leave Mandzukic as a backup , and on his place we will see Fernando Torres, who will be partnered with Antoine Grizman, who came to Atletico from Sociedad.
The guests from Real Sociedad are going into this round after a successful series of three consecutive wins and a draw. The team took a good position right in the middle of the table, having already finally managed to ensure his participation in the elite next season.
Over the weekend the team failed to defeat Malaga and recorded 1:1, and before that won one after the other against Getafe, Espanyol and Cordoba,.The team has a lot of positive statistics against Atletico Madrid, as the last four meetings between them ended with two wins for each of them. Far from 'San Sebastian`, however, Real Sociedad has had only one success since the beginning of the season, which determines a certain ratio and the high of their victory.
David Moyes will be able to use the services of the returned after an injury Carlos Vela and there will be only two outs from the defenders in the person of Berlice and Alberto.
Our football prediction by soccer picks is -1.5 (Asian Handicap).
