Friday 14 July predictions: In addition to the increasing number of friendly matches, Sweden, Romania, Finland and Argentina are also playing.
Ronaldo and Brozovic’s Al-Nassr is in training camp in the Algarve region of Portugal. They are still without their big players, who will not return from their holidays until the next few days, but despite their absence, they are expected to reap another success in the friendly against Farense, a team from Portugal’s second division.
Panathinaikos have won all their friendlies so far: a success for the Greeks is also very likely in the test against the Israelis of Hapoel Beer Sheva. Also on the pitch are two Ligue 1 teams, Lens and Nice. Haise’s Giallorossi, who will be playing in this year’s Champions League, face Amiens, while Nice are up against Lausanne: there should be no shortage of goals, just as in the friendly between Viktoria Plzen and Copenhagen.
Other match predictions
In the Superettan, Oster are likely to get the better of Skovde, while in Romania, fresh Super Cup winners Sepsi are expected to score at least one goal at home to Rapid Bucharest. Argentina also play in the night: Talleres have a good chance of avoiding defeat at home to a slumping Huracan.
