Frankfurt vs Dortmund
It’s a new year, but Dortmund are facing the same problems – they are 9 points behind rivals Bayern Munich. Although Marco Rose’s side had a poor end to 2021, form and momentum largely go out the window after a three week break. Frankfurt will be hoping to kick off from where they left off, but will have to deal with the league’s second most prolific attack. Erling Haaland bagged 6 in as many games after returning from injury and will be looking to help his team close the gap on Munich. We expect the visitors to hit the ground running as they look to chase down the league leaders.
Dortmund win @ 1.90
Lens vs Rennes
After a strong start to the campaign, Lens slipped down the table towards the end of the year due to a 6 game winless run in the league – only two teams have picked up fewer points in the last 5 games. Rennes’ form had been slightly better, and it is their defensive capabilities which could win them this game. With the third best defensive record in the league, they will be looking to keep the home side at bay. There is also enough talent in their attacking trio to cause this leaky Lens defence all kinds of problems.
Rennes win @ 2.45
Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid
Villarreal have gone from strength to strength in recent weeks, winning their last 4 league games with an aggregate score of 15-3. They have scored 5 goals in consecutive games and Gerard Moreno is in exquisite form, having scored 6 in his last 3. They will welcome an Atletico side that have lost 4 of their last 5, only managing to end their losing streak last time out against Rayo Vallecano. Despite their poor form, facing Diego Simeone’s side is never an easy task. They will be more defensively astute than Villarreal’s most recent opponents and possess quality throughout the pitch. This one looks evenly matched and nicely poised.
Draw @ 3.20
Udinese vs Atalanta
Atalanta are not out of the title race just yet, and they could find themselves within a few points of Inter should results swing their way. The visitors have the best away record in the league and will be confident in facing an Udinese side with just 1 win in 6 Serie A games. With Duvan Zapata set for another productive individual campaign and Mario Pasalic establishing himself as a key player creatively and in front of goal, Atalanta look good to fight their way to the top. To finish up our football predictions for this week, we are predicting them to go out and make a statement.
Atalanta win @ 1.8
