BIlli (@SGPSoccer) breaks down selected matches from Matchday 28’s Serie A slate, including Atalanta’s trip to Juventus in Sunday’s game of the weekend. Atalanta are third in the table, one place above Juventus, with the two sides separated by three points— so this is a crucial clash, with teams looking to qualify for Champions League while harbouring faint hopes of mounting a title charge.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down the Matchday 28 EPL slate, which will begin on Saturday morning with a huge Champions League qualification 6-pointer between Nottingham Forest and Manchester City.Manchester City kept their season-to-forget alive with an FA Cup victory over Plymouth last weekend, but Billi believes that they may end up with a less positive result from their visit to The City Ground. The Champions side are an embarrassing 20 points off the top of the Premier League and out of the Champions League, have lost four of their last eight in all competitions and have only won four of their last 16 away games.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down all 8 of the Champions League Round of 16 1st Leg matches, taking place tomorrow and on Wednesday. The ties of the round will see a Madrid Derby between Real and Atletico, an all-German clash between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen and a battle between the runaway leaders of France and England, as Paris SG take on Liverpool. Both Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool enjoy such a stranglehold on their domestic leagues that continental dominance is moving further up the agenda and that should make for an entertaining first leg of their Champions League knockout tie in the French capital on Wednesday.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down the Serie A Matchday 27 slate, which will be headlined by Saturday’s clash between Napoli and Inter Milan— who will be the top 2 going into the weekend, but probably not by kick-off, as Atalanta are the -600 favourites to win the early afternoon game at home to lowly Venezia.Napoli relinquished their lead at the top of the Serie A standings as their loss at Como last weekend opened the door for Saturday’s visitors, Inter Milan, to leapfrog them, and the defending champions could retain top spot when they visit Naples this weekend. That defeat in Como made it four league games without a win for Napoli, who are clearly feeling the pressure as we reach the meat and potatoes part of the season.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down all of the 7 remaining Round of 16 FA Cup ties, including Fulham’s trip to Manchester United on Sunday. United won the cup last season after finishing as the runners-up the year before, and this term they’ve claimed arguably their best results of the season in this competition by dumping Arsenal out. However, Fulham arrive in fine form - with four wins in their last five games - and 9 points better off than United in the league.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) looks at the current Champions League Futures market, going into the Round of 16. This episode breaks down all 8 of ties, before concluding by glossing over the outright winner market. The ties of the round will see a Madrid Derby between Real and Atletico, an all-German clash between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen and a battle between the runaway leaders of France and England, as Paris SG take on Liverpool. Real Madrid and Barcelona currently sit at the top of the market, but Billi believes the value could potentially lie elsewhere, in what’s widely considered to be a very open competition this season.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) looks back at United’s awful performance at Everton before breaking down tonight’s clash against Ipswich.Ruben Amorim’s first game in charge of Manchester United came in the reverse fixture between them and Ipswich in November and it is hard to say that the team’s fortunes have improved since then. Amroim’s side are in the midst of an injury crisis, particularly in defence, and they fielded five teenagers on the bench at the weekend as a result. Meanwhile, off the pitch, the club are continually being ridiculed and criticised for their embarrassing cost cutting measures.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down the EPL Matchday 26 slate, which will headlined by Manchester City’s trip to Tottenham and Liverpool hosting Newcastle, both on Wednesday night.Liverpool have won 19 of their 27 matches this season and opened up an 11-point gap at the top of the Premier League on Sunday. It’s unlikely they will show any signs of slowing down ahead of Wednesday’s clash with Newcastle at Anfield.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down a selection of Matchday 26 matches, which will see leaders and title favourites Napoli travel to Como, while their closest rivals Inter Milan host Genoa.Italian clubs suffered an embarrassing week in the UCL, where all 3 of the Serie A clubs were eliminated by Belgian and Dutch opposition. This show primarily focuses on how all three of those clubs - Atalanta, Milan and Juventus - are going to bounce-back from their heavily publicised midweek humiliations.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) looks back at United’s horrible performance at Tottenham before moving on to preview tomorrow’s difficult looking trip to Goodison Park. Everton’s late win at Selhurst Park last weekend saw them leapfrog Manchester United in the Premier League table and David Moyes’ dream return to Goodison Park could continue when they face one of his former clubs on Saturday. The Red Devils’ downfall began with Moyes’ appointment in 2013, and there seems to be little sign of things turning around for the Mancunians following their defeat at Spurs last Sunday.
