Though the English, French and German leagues will all be in action this weekend. The other 2 leagues in the top 5 European leagues are yet to kick off the 2015/2016 season so in my 10- game accumulator series this week i have included the Russian and Dutch leagues.
English Premier League
1. Swansea vs Newcastle –Swansea win: after watching Swansea against Chelsea in week 1 where they made Chelsea labor to a 2-2 draw at the Stamford bridge, one can safely say this Swansea team sure know how to score goals and hold their own against the top sides. Newcastle on the other hand struggled to draw at home against Southampton. there will be goals in this match but i see the home team winning.
2. Manchester city vs Chelsea – Manchester City win : i’m sticking my neck out on this for Man city after watching a majestic display in their first game against West Brom, also with the fact that Chelsea are win less in their last 6 games including pre season friendlies.
German Bundesliga
3. Wolfsburg vs Entracht Frankfurt- Wolfsburg win : Wolfsburg are a brilliant attacking side who have some dangerous and lightening quick players in their infantry. their win in the German Super cup on penalties against league winners Bayern Munich further proves their strength not to ship in a lot of goals and their mentality after equalizing very late into the game. they also scored 4 goals away from home in their DFB pokal cup win last weekend.
4. Borussia Dortmund Vs Borussia Munchengladcbach – Dortmund win : playing in front of their home fans at the Signal Iduna Park , Dortmund are always a different and dangerous team. though Munchengladbach were more impressive in the league last season, i believe Dortmund have what it takes to get all points.
French Ligue 1
5. Guimgamp vs Lyon – Lyon win : Lyon had a good run last season finishing 2nd and the transfer window was even better as they kept a core of their best players from last season most notably Alexandre Lacazette who was the league top scorer and their best player, they have also brought in former Olympique marsaille midfielder Mathieu Valbuena from Dinamo Moscow
6. PSG vs Ajaccio – PSG Over 2.5 : defending champions PSG won away at Lille on week 1 and playing in front of their home fans should even be easier especially against lowly rated Ajaccio who didnt score in week 1. i see an easy win with a lot of goals for PSG led by the trio of Ibrahimovic,Cavani and Lucas Moura.
Dutch Eredivisie
7. Ajax vs Willem II – Ajax win : Ajax were knocked out of the UEFA Champion league qualifiers last week and the team have a lot of rage at the moment scoring 3 goals and tearing apart poor AZ Alkmar away from home in week 1. i don’t think Willem II have what it takes to stop Ajax from winning when they were only able to dfraw at home against Vitesse in their first game
8. PSV vs Groningen – PSV win : PSV were unfortunate to drop 2 points on week 1 against Ado Den Haag when the host’s goal keeper scored a spectacular scorpion flick very late into the game to rescue a point for his team. the defending champions playing at home would be too strong for Groningen who drew at home in week 1.
Russian Premier league
9. Spartak Moscow vs CSKA Moscow (Main Moscow derby) : Both teams score: these 2 teams are bitter city rivals and this game promises to be ferocious giving the history between these 2 sides . both teams have scored 6 goals in 4 games so far this season with CSKA yet to concede and Spartak conceding just 2. i expect both teams to get at least a goal each in this game.
10. Zenith st Petersburg vs Krasnodar FC – Zenith win: defending champions Zenith coached by Andres villas Boas are arguably the best team in the Russian league and go into any game as favourites. they have continued their success last season already by winning all 4 games so far this season scoring 10 goals in the process. Krasnodar Fc have a mountain to climb in this one.
