Wednesday, Dec. 20 predictions: games are played in the Coppa Italia, Liga, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga, the English League Cup is also on the field.
Wednesday is stingy with events in Italy, with only the cup match between Inter and Bologna, but not in the rest of Europe: there are no less than nine Ligue 1, six Bundesliga and three La Liga matches on the schedule, plus the last quarterfinal of the English League Cup between Liverpool and West Ham.
In the French league, top-ranked PSG – stuck to a draw in the dying minutes by Lille in the last round – is expected to return to victory at home against dangerous Metz in a game of at least three goals total.
Other match predictions
In contrast, leading the Bundesliga standings is Bayer Leverkusen, which can mortgage the title of winter champions by beating Bochum at home. Bayern Munich faces a somewhat more complicated away match against Wolfsburg, but the three points should come anyway. Goals are expected in Eintrach Frankfurt-Borussia Moenchengladbach and Stuttgart-Augsburg.
In Spanish La Liga, Barcelona-which continues to drop points from top-ranked Girona-can no longer slip up at home against Almeria; home win highly likely as well as in Athletic Bilbao-Las Palmas.
