Back Our 7587/1 Euro Acca This Weekend! - 22/01/22

Despite winning the league just last season, this campaign has brought misery for Atletico Madrid who have gone through some major struggles with Diego Simeone switching to a back three that simply hasn’t worked out.

In their last two games, they have been knocked out of the Supercopa de Espana and the Copa del Rey to Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad, respectively.

Valencia have just drawn with title challengers Sevilla in a good defensive performance, which could pose challenges for Simeone’s side who struggle to break down teams who defend deep, making Valencia a serious threat for an upset at the Wanda Metropolitano

After massive struggles to start the season, Juventus have somewhat returned back to form in recent months, with them currently unbeaten in eight games and now have moved them within a point of a spot in the top four.

AC Milan are coming into this game after a shock defeat to relegation-threatened Spezia after conceding in the 96th minute, which may affect their confidence for this massive fixture.

Juventus’s last game against a top four rival was a 4-3 win over Roma, with Roma showcasing that their defence could be got at, Milan are a good attacking side who have quality players to hurt Juventus, which could make this a high scoring affair. Juventus are in good form coming into this game and may hold more confidence coming into this fixture after AC Milan’s midweek mishap.

Despite RB Leipzig struggling at times this season which resulted in a managerial change, Christopher Nkunku has been a positive throughout the season, scoring nine goals and providing seven assists in 19 Bundesliga appearances, whilst even scoring seven in six Champions League games.

Nkunku has started the year in great form, scoring in both his Bundesliga games, whilst also providing three assists, and now he is facing a Wolfsburg side who are nine games without a win in the German top flight, and if Leipzig play well, he could have the chances to score multiple times once again.

This game is very important for these two sides, as if Lens win, they will move to only one point behind Marseille and may climb into the top four if other results go their way, whereas if Marseille grab the victory, they can expand the gap between themselves and the Europa League places, whilst still having a game in hand.

Marseille have been outstanding defensively this season, only conceding 16 goals in 20 games, and at the same time, they don’t have a great attack, thus making their game low scoring. They are also in great form coming into this game, as they are unbeaten in seven games in all competitions, not conceding more than once in this run, and showing that if they continue this form, they are more than capable of winning this must-win game.

This weekend sees a massive game in the Eredivisie title race, with PSV Eindhoven currently leading Ajax by one point with 15 games remaining. Their last meeting in the league saw the demolition of PSV by Ajax, with the end result being 5-0.

Ajax have seen a lot of praise under manager Erik ten Hag, and their goal difference is one to admire across Europe, scoring 59 goals and only conceding a sensational four times in 19 league games, yet they aren’t top of the table.

Their defensive record will prove useful in this game with PSV relying a lot on scoring multiple goals with their defence not being as great as their opponents'

If Ajax are able to control the game like they were able to do earlier in the season, it could be hard for PSV to trouble their seemingly impenetrable defence.
