UCL: Bayern Dealt Double Injury Blow Ahead Arsenal Clash
Bayern Munich head coach Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that the former Bundesliga champions will be without Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Arsenal on Wednesday night. With only the Champions League left to fight for between now and the end of the season, Bayern seek a repeat of their last two home fixtures with Arsenal in 2015 and 2017, which ended 5-1 on both occasions. The Bavarians were on course for a 2-1 first-leg success at the Emirates last week as Gnabry and Harry Kane cancelled out Bukayo Saka's strike. But Leandro Trossard drew Mikel Arteta's side level with a 76th-minute strike. Six minutes before Trossard got Arsenal back on terms, former Gunners academy graduate Gnabry was forced to leave the field with a hamstring strain, which rendered him unavailable for the weekend's clash with Koln. Also Read: Eze: My Mum And I Cried When Arsenal Released Me Instead, Kingsley Coman started on the right flank at the Allianz Arena, but the Frenchman's race was run just five minutes into the second half with an adductor injury. After a statement on Bayern Munich's website revealed that Coman would be out for several weeks, Tuchel confirmed in his pre-game press conference that neither he nor Gnabry would be fit to play face Arsenal on Wednesday. Bayern will also have to do without left-back Alphonso Davies due to suspension. Meanwhile, Arsenal would hope to bounce back from the disappointment of losing to Aston Villa at the Emirates on Sunday. Late goals from Leon Bailey and Olie Watkins put a dent on Arsenal's title hopes. The post UCL: Bayern Dealt Double Injury Blow Ahead Arsenal Clash appeared first on Complete Sports.

7 Players Who Merit Super Eagles Call-up For Next 2026 W/Cup Qualifiers
The Super Eagles will take on South Africa and Benin Republic in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in June. After two games in Group C, the Eagles have two points and are in third place behind leaders Rwanda and second-placed South Africa. The Eagles could be without the likes of William Troost-Ekong, Moses Simon, Tyronne Ebuehi, and Zaidu Sanusi. Also Read: What Boniface, Tella Bring To Our Team –Leverkusen Midfielder, Xhaka In the event of these players missing the doubleheader, Completesports.com's JAMES AGBEREBI looks at seven players who should be considered for invitation. Gift Orban (Striker: Olympique Lyon): Since his first call-up to the Super Eagles in September 2023, in the final qualifiers against Sao Tome and Principe, Gift Orban has been overlooked in subsequent invitations. His early struggles at Olympique Lyon could be blamed for his omission from the AFCON 2023 squad. But things seem to be looking good for Orban as he scored in back-to-back games for Lyon in April. One of the goals was in the French Cup tie against Valenciennes, which saw Lyon qualify for the final. The 21-year-old's form should be a welcome development for the Eagles as they look forward to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in June. Henry Onyekuru (Left-Winger: Al Fayha): The Nigerian forward is having a memorable first season at Saudi Arabia club Al Fayha. In 27 league appearances, Onyekuru has scored 10 goals and provided three assists. This is the first time he will hit double digits since scoring 14 league goals for Galatasaray in the 2018/19 season. There is a possibility that he will surpass the feat judging by his impressive form in front of goal so far. Also Read: 2026 World Cup Qualifier: Benin Republic To Host Super Eagles In Abidjan Onyekuru should be a good addition to the team for the qualifiers since he is no stranger to the Eagles, having been part of the AFCON 2019 and 2021 squads. Chidera Ejuke (Left-Winger: Royal Antwerp): One player who deserves a recall to the Super Eagles ahead of the qualifiers is Chidera Ejuke. Following a not-too-impressive loan spell at Hertha Berlin, Ejuke has gotten his career back on track thanks to his performance for Royal Antwerp in another loan move. Ejuke has scored three goals and provided four assists in 24 league matches for Antwerp. Even though it is looking very likely that Antwerp would not retain their league title, Ejuke played a key role as they reached the Championship playoffs. With such impressive form, it would be important for the skillful forward to be back in the Eagles to help reignite their qualifying campaign. Maduka Okoye (Goalkeeper: Udinese): It was not the best of starts to life at Udinese as Maduka Okoye struggled to get minutes. All that is now in the past following Okoye's emergence as the first choice for the Serie A club. His impressive performance in goal earned him the Udinese Player of the Month for February. Although Stanley Nwabali is now the first choice for the Eagles, Okoye's return should bring competition among the goalkeepers. In an interview on Udinese's website in February, Okoye indicated his interest in returning to the Eagles. Ibrahim Olawoyin (Midfielder: Rizespor): The former Enugu Rangers and Abia Warriors winger has been magnificent for Rizespor in the Turkish Super Lig this season. Olawoyin has provided two assists and has scored six goals in 30 league matches. On Sunday, he provided an assist in Rizespor's 3-0 home win against Antalyaspor. Prior to Sunday's game, he scored a goal in each of his last three games. His only call-up to the Eagles was against Mexico in a friendly game in the USA in 2021. The 26-year-old was an unused substitute in the friendly as a Super Eagles squad made up of home-based players lost 4-0. But with his performance for Rizespor, Olawoyin has what it takes to do well for the Eagles if given the opportunity. Emmanuel Dennis (Striker: Watford): The forward is beginning to find his scoring boots again at Watford after a disastrous loan spell at Istanbul Basaksehir. Dennis has scored four goals in 15 league games for Watford, where he is on loan from Nottingham Forest. Also, he won Watford's March Goal of the Month award for his strike in the 2-2 home draw against Leeds United and has featured in all their fixtures in April. Dennis was in the Super Eagles provisional 40-man squad for the AFCON 2023 before he was dropped when the final list was announced. The former Club Brugge star has unfinished business in the Eagles, and he can contribute immensely to their quest for the 2026 World Cup ticket. Kingsley Ehizibue (Right-Back: Udinese): The former Netherlands youth defender's first call-up to the Eagles was in March 2020 under Gernot Rohr for a 2021 AFCON qualifier against Sierra Leone. However, the game was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and he has never been called up again for the Eagles. But in an interview in April 2023, Ehizibue told Goal that he is still interested in featuring for the Eagles. "For real, it would be like making a dream come true because I used to watch Nigeria playing in the World Cup, so to wear that jersey was the goal for every kid. "So, I will do everything possible to make it happen. I've played with guys that represent the national team in the Netherlands Germany, and I'm so proud of them." Ehizibue can back his push for a call-up due to the fact that he is a regular for Udinese. So far this season, he has made 17 appearances for the Serie A club and has not missed any of their games this month The post 7 Players Who Merit Super Eagles Call-up For Next 2026 W/Cup Qualifiers appeared first on Complete Sports.

I Wasn’t Expecting Arsenal, Liverpool To Drop Points –Man City Midfielder, Silva
Manchester City forward Bernardo Silva says he never expected Premier League title rivals Arsenal and Liverpool to drop points at the weekend. City (now on 73 points) went into the weekend fixtures two points behind the Gunners and the Reds. While last season's Treble winners thrashed Luton Town 5-1, Liverpool fell 1-0 to Crystal Palace at Anfield. For Arsenal, two late strikes from Leon Bailey and Olie Watkins secured a 2-0 win at the Emirates stadium. "I wasn't expecting both teams to drop points," Silva was quoted on Man City's X handle. Also Read: What Boniface, Tella Bring To Our Team –Leverkusen Midfielder, Xhaka "We didn't just depend on ourselves - now we depend on ourselves and if we do our job properly we win the Premier League. "Two weeks ago when we played Arsenal it looked like everything had gone, now it looks like City, maybe in two weeks it changes again. That’s why football is beautiful." The Portuguese international said the City team has proved through the years that they are capable of getting to the final months fighting for all the competitions. "It is not easy, obviously. That's why only two teams won the Treble in English football because it’s not easy. But we are very happy to be in a position to fight for them." Ahead of Wednesday's Champions League second leg quarter-final clash with Real Madrid, Silva said:"We still have that feeling that we are very strong at home with our people. The season before when Real Madrid knocked us out at the Bernabeu, we wanted to put things right. "That performance was a bit of an apology to our fans in a way for what happened the season before - we owed them a chance to win the competition and we did it."

Football Tips: How To Get Better At Predicting Games
Football, or soccer as it's known in some parts of the world, isn't just a game of skill on the pitch; it's also a test of analytical prowess off it. Whether you're a casual fan looking to best your friends in a prediction game, a fantasy football enthusiast aiming for the top of your league, or a bettor trying to make informed choices, understanding the art of football prediction is key. Here are some comprehensive tips on how to improve your game predictions. 1. Stay Updated Football is incredibly dynamic, with many factors changing from week to week. Staying updated on the latest news, player interviews, manager press conferences, and even weather conditions can provide critical last-minute insights that could affect a game's outcome. You'd also do well to check out what the experts are thinking and stay up-to-date on football tips. These tips can be a great way to brainstorm your own ideas and conclusions as well as get a dose of new information. 2. Analyze Recent Form A team's recent form is a crucial indicator of its current performance level. Look at their last five to ten games to gauge how they're playing right now. However, it's important to consider the context of these performances. Were they playing against strong or weak teams? Were there any significant injuries or tactical changes? This nuanced view can help refine your predictions. 3. Factor in Home and Away Performances Teams often perform differently at home compared to away games. Some teams are formidable on their home turf but struggle on the road. Understanding these dynamics can be a game-changer in making accurate predictions. Look at home vs. away statistics for both goals scored and conceded to get a clearer picture of a team's performance. Related: What Was The G-14 Of Football? 4. Injuries and Suspensions Player availability can dramatically affect a team's chances in a game. A team missing its key striker or central defender due to injury or suspension is likely to perform below its usual level. Always check the latest team news before making a prediction to ensure you're not overlooking crucial absences. 5. Tactical Matchups Football is a game of tactics, and certain styles of play counteract others effectively. For instance, a team that excels in counter-attacking football might struggle against an opponent that maintains a low defensive block. Analyzing the tactical setups of teams and how they've fared against similar opponents in the past can give you an edge in predicting outcomes. 6. Psychological Factors Never underestimate the psychological aspects of football. Derby matches, for instance, can produce unpredictable results regardless of form or standings due to the emotional intensity involved. Similarly, teams fighting relegation often punch above their weight in the final stages of the season. Keeping an eye on these psychological elements can provide valuable insights. 7. Utilize Prediction Models If you're serious about improving your prediction accuracy, consider using or developing a statistical prediction model. These models use historical data and various statistical techniques to forecast game outcomes. While no model is perfect, they can be a valuable tool in your prediction arsenal, especially when combined with your own analysis. 8. Understand the Statistics The bedrock of any good football prediction is a solid understanding of the statistics involved. Look beyond basic stats like wins, losses, and draws. Delve into more detailed statistics such as expected goals (xG), possession percentages, pass accuracy, and shots on target. These metrics can give you a deeper understanding of a team's performance and its potential to win upcoming games. 9. Practice and Record Your Predictions Like any skill, predicting football games improves with practice. Regularly make predictions and record your reasoning. Over time, review your predictions to understand where you were right or wrong. This reflection can help you identify patterns in your prediction process that need improvement. 10. Embrace Uncertainty Finally, it's important to acknowledge the inherent uncertainty in football. Upsets happen, and even the most well-informed prediction can be undone by the unpredictable nature of the game. Rather than getting discouraged by incorrect predictions, view them as learning opportunities. Improving your ability to predict football games is a journey that involves a mix of statistical analysis, tactical knowledge, psychological insights, and continuous learning. By incorporating these tips into your prediction process, you can increase your accuracy and perhaps even enjoy the beautiful game a little more. Whether for bragging rights, fantasy league success, or betting prowess, your newly sharpened predictive skills will serve you well.

Delhi were given a massive boost in their last match when their star bowler Kuldeep Yadav returned to the team after an injury. He immediately made his presence felt when he picked up three wickets for a miserly 20 runs. Gujarat are heavily dependent on Gill after the departure of Hardik Pandya but he will need the likes of Kane Williamson and Sai Sudharsan to contribute to the batting. The latter has played a few cameo innings without converting them into a big score. The Kuldeep addition to the Delhi team makes them the slight favourite in this match.  Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals Toss Prediction The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is one of the few grounds in India where the pitch does not deteriorate too much. The ground has quite big dimensions so running between wickets is very important. The team batting first should look to bowl as the pitch stays the same for the match.  Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals Top Run scorer Prediction Shubman Gill is again showing the form that won him the Purple Cap last season. We are tipping him to be the leading run scorer in the match.  Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals Top Wicket Taker Prediction We are backing Rashid Khan to be the top wicket taker in this match.  Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals Betting Preview On paper the Delhi team looks formidable especially their top order but the form of the batsmen has been an issue. The one shining light at the top of the order has been Prithvi Shaw although his strike rate is not the greatest. GT on the other hand don't seem to have the same batting depth and have really struggled in matches where Gill has been dismissed early. The visitors have Pant and Tristan Stubbs who have shown that they can be deadly in the closing overs. Their power hitting will face a challenge in the form of Rashid Khan who has been bowling brilliantly. If Dehi can see off Khan without losing too many wickets, then we tip them to win this match. Top Tips for GT vs DC Delhi to have the highest first wicket partnership in the match at odds of 2.00 Total wickets to be under 13.5 at odds of 1.78 At least one duck in the match at odds of 1.57 Expected Lineups Gujarat Titans Shubman Gill (C), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Kane Williamson, Sai Sudharsan, David Miller, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Mohit Sharma, Noor Ahmad, Kartik Tyagi Delhi Capitals  Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (c), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel, Kumar Kushagra (wk), Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed. GT vs DC Head-to-head record This is a new rivalry with Delhi and Gujarat having faced  each other in only 3 matches in the IPL. Out of these 3 games, Delhi have won 1 whereas Gujarat have come out victorious on 2 occasions. FAQ  Which bookmaker is best to bet on Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals?
