Free Football Tips Table for 12th August 2022

Featured Matches

1. Osasuna vs Sevilla Free football tips and Analysis

Osasuna attempted to qualify for Europe but concluded the season poorly, finishing in 10th place. They did well in their preseason games as they won all of them. However, that is not a competitive match as it is used to prepare for the season ahead. Kike Saverio is injured so hence, he will not play.

With the help of additions like Isco and Alex Telles, Sevilla will attempt to win their first La Liga title since 1946.  Jules Kounde and Diego Carlos have departed the club, and the head coach, Lopetegui after acquiring new defenders will want his new defense to start playing well as soon as possible.

The recent meeting between Osasuna and Sevilla resulted in a 0-0 draw in February, but the away team being the dominant side have won four of the previous five encounters.  Sevilla would have edged that particular match with a winning had it been that  Rakitic scored hat extra-time penalty awarded to them in that match. Furthermore, Sevilla have no injury worries so far.

Key Fact

Osasuna have played under 2.5 goals against Sevilla in their past four meetings

Prediction

Osasuna will be very courteous not to start conceding goals against Sevilla as the coach plans to deploy a 4-5-1 formation. However, they will be hoping for counterattacks to cause an upset against their visitors. Sevilla, on the other hand, signed two new defenders to cement their defense line against goal poachers so with this trend, I think not more than two goals will be scored so under 2.5 goals is my pick.

2. Freiburg vs Dortmund

Freiburg started their opening match this season in flying colors with outstanding performance and achieved a 4-0 away win against Augsburg. Lucas Höler, Kevin Schade, and Kimberly Ezekwem are still recovering from injuries.

Borussia Dortmund won their first game of the season with a narrow 1-0 victory against Bayer Leverkusen but injuries have tempered their energy and passion. Furthermore, they has suffered back-to-back defeats I against Freiburg, so these two teams will battle for superiority again. Dortmund’s new superstar Karim Adeyemim is inured. Tom Rothe and Sébastien Haller were also sidelined due to injury.

Key Facts

• Both teams have scored each other and produced over 2.5 goals in their last 3 Bundesliga meetings
• Freiburg have produced over 2.5 goals against Borussia Dortmund in their previous four meetings at Freiburg’s home.

Prediction

Both teams play an attacking football pattern. However, Freiburg started this season on a high note and will be very motivated to battle it out against their long-time rivals. Borussia Dortmund had a narrow 1-0 victory against Bayer Leverkusen in their last because they created and missed plenty of chances. They have learned their lessons and so will be so much keen to find Freiburg’s back of the net again as usual with the hope of coming out on top. Both teams to score is my first choice pick while a combination of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is my second choice pick.

3. Trabzonspor vs Hatayspor

Trabzonspor won their last match against Istanbulspor comfortably. They played a smart game, not rushing the ball, creating opportunities from long balls, and making the most of them during the intensely hot game. Since Hatayspor’s defense isn’t any better than Istanbulspor’s, anticipate an identical display here. Bruno Peres and Serkan Asan are both inured and so will not be featured for this match.

Hatayspor will be playing their first match of the new season at Trabzonspor home. They sold some crucial players in the transfer market most notably midfielder  Adama Traore who is known to be a powerhouse and reliable defenders like Kurucuk and Munir but failed to purchase their potential replacements. We shall eventually find out if the present coach, Serkan Ozbalta, whose most recent experience in the Super Lig with Altay ended in disappointment, can be as successful as his predecessor, but for the time being, Hatayspor are not likely to pose a threat to the reigning champions. However, the team have no injury worries at the moment.

Key Fact

No team have beaten Trabzonspor in their past 24 Turkish Super League matches at home.

Prediction

The last time both teams met at Trabzonspor’s arena, The home team defeated Hatayspor with a 2-0 scoreline. Hatayspor won their opening match but that was against a lowly rated team like Giresunspor. As for today’s game, Trabzonspor will be too much for them as they have better players than the visitors, Trabzonspor to win is my pick.
