Expert Picks for 29th January, 2022

AFCON Football quarterfinals predictions have begun with the Gambians hoping to cause an upset against Cameroon. Burkina Faso and Tunisia’s match could end in a stalemate and the winners could be determined by a penalty shoot-out. In other leagues, I have a couple of matches in England that have surprisingly made the list.

Table of Expert Picks for 29th January 2022

Editor’s Best 5 Picks

1. Fulham to beat Blackpool
2. Burkina Faso and Tunisia to play under 2.5 goals
3. Boreham Wood to beat King’s Lynn in England’s National league
4. Rangers will win Ross County
5. Celtic will win Dundee United with at least more than one goal

Analysis of the Best 5 Picks

1. Fulham are league leaders and have 5 points separating them from Blackburn who are second in position. They play very fantastic football. They have also won 4 matches in a row and will expect to extend their excellent form to 5th winning streak against an inconsistent Blackpool. Nonetheless, Fulham have a fully fit squad to select their desired players.
2. Burkina Faso and Tunisia may play conservative football as both teams will be very cautious not to conceive goals. This is the moment that even a single goal scored in the match may decide the winner. Moreover, so many AFCON matches have ended in under 2.5 goals
3. Boreham Wood has been inconsistent but yet, they are one of the best teams in the England National League, They will be facing King’s Lynn whose performance has been poor as they have lost 4 matches in a row. Boreham Wood are aiming for the league title and promotion and are just 2 points behind the league leaders. Again, they have a 100% record against King’s Lynn beating them in all their previous meetings. Evidently, the home will definitely win again.
4. Rangers are in contention for the league title. They are topping the league table with 4 points separating from Celtic who are 2nd in position. This closeness between them and Celtic is putting pressure on them to keep winning matches in order to distance themselves from Celtic. Furthermore, Rangers have a 100% record against Ross County as they have won all their last 6 previous matches against Ross County. Rangers are tipped to win again tonight.
5. Celtic have an excellent record of winning all their last 6 matches at home. They are playing against a side that conceives a lot of goals and evidently, they have lost 5 matches in a row before winning against Dundee United. Celtic eyes are on the league title as well and besides, they have beaten Dundee United in 4 of their last 6 meetings while Dundee United have never beaten them. Their dominance against Dundee United will continue again with Celtic winning with a handicap.
