The same situation as with the Italian match. Chelsea had a difficult game before the CL period, gave a lot of effort and today they are facing a serious challenge. Although Westham is at the bottom, the team shows signs of recovery, with the addition of Castellanos and good performances from Bowen and Summerville in the attack. The last 3 matches are all in Peru, two of them in the EPL. The form has been caught and in such a situation as Chelsea after the CL, they can catch up.

The Luzern team loves to play in productive matches, especially in their home arena. In this season, they are one of the most productive teams in the Swiss league, scoring 79 goals in 21 matches. However, they also tend to concede quite a few goals, with an average of 4.2 per match at home. The St Gallen team is one of the top teams in the league, taking 3rd place and scoring the 2nd most goals. Their away matches are similar to their home ones, so it's unlikely that there will be a lack of goals in this match. Overall, the away matches for the St Gallen team are not as productive as Luzern's, but they still have an average of 3.3 goals per match and close to 4 goals in away matches. Based on this, I believe that the away team could cover the total goals themselves, but it's not realistic to expect an over from both teams.

Quite a high coefficient at 2.5 seems more likely. Heracles' bottom position in the league is due to their strong attack, which has overall scored almost one and a half goals per match (28 out of 20), with 18 out of 9 of those being scored at home. However, their bottom position is not without reason, as their defense is pitiful. With 52 conceded goals in 20 rounds, they are among the highest in the league and it is always expected that they will be heavily attacked by their opponents. Sittard is a mediocre club, ranked 10th, with a similar goal differential of 30:34 in 20 matches. This shows that they are capable of attacking but lack a strong defense, giving the home team a good chance. I believe at least 3 goals will be scored in this match.

The last place in the league and the worst home team Osijek should experience yet another defeat after the league break. The conference league knockout team Rijeka is a solid team, which has already played two games and although they have only won one and will be without their defender due to a red card, Rijeka, who continue in the European tournament, are significantly stronger. This season, Rijeka has not lost any of the two games against each other, and when the odds are heavily in favor of this team, this bet seems very promising.

Having not lost at home against Aston Villa in 11 consecutive matches (including three games between 1936-1946), the Villa team appears to be in great form and is winning almost all matches in the fight for the title. Their rare defeats this season prove their strength. At the moment, Brentford is on a two-game losing streak, and they are one of the worst teams in the league in away games (with only 9 points and 20 goals conceded in 11 matches). Villa, who are one of the best home teams and in great form, must take care of business.

Although Rangers looked lost at the beginning of the season, now the team's stability is remarkable. 6 consecutive league wins and a win over Celtic away show the team's strength, and their elimination from the Europa League should bring even better results in Scotland. One of the strongest away teams in the league, Rangers have won all 3 previous meetings with the current opponent, making a win for them highly likely, especially since Hibernians lost in the cup to a lower league club and were crushed by Falkirk.

Two serious teams and even though there are Italians, they play a productive football. Como is playing particularly well this season, especially at home, while Atalanta needs to bounce back after poor offensive performance against Belgium. The results of previous matches between the teams suggest a productive football, which I believe we can expect from this meeting as well.

The Lyon team is in excellent form with 9 consecutive wins and a very productive style of soccer. The opponent Lille is also strong and plays a highly effective soccer. Even in 6 out of the last 7 Lyon matches, there were 3 or more scored goals, while Lille achieved the same in 4 out of their last 5 matches. In their previous encounter this season, the teams played a high-scoring game, with the result of 1-2. I believe that the odds for an over bet are favorable, as it is not a common outcome when these teams meet.

Absolutely regrettable, the Young Boys defense has been demonstrating this season, but particularly in recent times, with 16 goals conceded in the past 3 matches, including a 2-6 loss at home in this series. Where it was possible to say that the YB team still defended at home, now they are no longer able to do so, and overall this season, only the bottom-placed Winterthur team has conceded more over goals. YB GB have scored 40 goals and conceded 45 in 21 games this season, showing their attacking abilities (2 goals against Stuttgart are a good example), but they are in 6th place due to their inability to defend. Their opponents, similar to this team, also score about 3.5 goals per match and do not defend very well, but they are solid enough to score a couple of goals here.

Galatasaray does not seem as dominant after the new year as it used to be, but a team with such strength should easily win against the second-to-last team in the league at home. Galatasaray, scoring over two goals in the league and conceding only 2 goals, shows that the Turkish champions are heading towards a big victory.

The league rookies started the new year unsuccessfully with 3 losses and 1 draw. Fenerbache is a super team compared to other Turkish teams. The league rookies do not play productively and although their defense is not bad, players of Fenerbache must perform with skill and win. There is a good coefficient for a significantly superior team, and when Fenerbache falls behind Galatasaray and has already lost points in the last league matches, the light shines particularly brightly for Peru.

All-time underdogs AVS, with 14 losses and not a single win in 19 league matches, do not offer any hope against Braga. One of the weaker Portuguese teams made it into the top 8 of the Europa League teams, and Portugal itself is only just behind other leaders. A total of 47 goals let in by AVS suggests that Braga should easily score and secure a confident win.

In this season, England's Sunderland looks simply fantastic at home. They have not suffered a single loss and have played particularly well against top teams such as City, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Aston Villa. The second-worst away team, Burnley, has conceded almost 3 goals per game and has lost 8 out of the 11 matches played. Sunderland's African players have returned, and even though Xhaka shouldn't be playing yet, their team looks like a clear choice in the match against the league newcomers, Sunderland.
