Manchester United - Sunderland / West Bromwich - Southampton (Premier League)
Manchester United - Sunderland
In the last round, United collapsed during his visit to Swansea, but they had excellent playing team against them, who knows how to score goals. In this game, things will look completely different.
Sunderland is in awful shape and is second in the least goals scored. The only victory of "black cats" as guest was against Crystal Palace four months ago, when the "Eagles" were in a very bad period. Even with Jermain Defoe in their squad, the boys of Gustavo Poje failed to score in five of their last seven games.
It is clear that Manchester United is far from his best form, but has allowed only five goals in his previous nine households and is much better than those in today`s rival.
Recommended bet: For Manchester United to win to zero @ 2.10 at Betfair
West Bromwich - Southampton
The team of Southampton has just one win in their last five games, scored only one goal in the last four rounds in the Premier League. Striker Graziano Pelle has scored only once in 2015, as it happened against Crystal Palace in the cup match. In the Premier League, he has no goal by December 20 or ten games.
The problem with scoring goals is serious for Ronald Koeman, especially before the game against West Brom, which is led by the "protective genius" Tony Pulis. Under his leadership, "thrushes" has recorded five clean sheets in nine games.
We expect not so many hits in this match and our recommendation is under 1.5 goals.
Recommended bet: For Under 1.5 goals @ 2.70 at Betfair

Napoli vs. Sampdoria
Napoli is in a great current condition and we believe that the team will blow the victory against the mini crisis team at Sasuolo. The guests have had only one win in the last seven fights. Napoli has jad 7 wins in the last 8 matches. The hosts are on the third place and have serious appetites to bypass the second Roma, which would ensure direct qualification into the Champions League. The team of hosts is in very strong shape, it has defeated Sasuolo as a guest, we believe that it will do so now. Our soccer forecast is 1.
Cagliari vs. Inter
That is a great opportunity for Inter to continue its good series, after the previous two rounds won with three goals the teams of Palermo and Atalanta. The team of Cagliari is weaker than the two previous opponents of the Nerazzurri. The hosts are in the relegation zone and there are prerequisites to remain there after the end of the season. The odds for a victory of Roberto Mancini`s players is pretty good and it would be a good idea on your part, if you bet on their win. Our soccer prediction is 2.
Jong FC Twente vs. De Graafschap
