Monday, Aug. 14 predictions: the Premier League, La Liga and Saudi Pro League are on the field, the Coppa Italia and other minor leagues are also played.
Between the Premier League bigwigs, the last to take the field is Manchester United, which hopes to improve on last season’s results, the first with Ten Hag on the bench. While waiting to thin out the roster to complete more signings, a goalkeeper, former Inter Milan man Onana, offensive midfielder Mount, bought from Chelsea, and above all a striker have arrived at Old Trafford: this is the young Dane Hojlund, taken from Atalanta for 70 million euros.
Facing the Red Devils will be Wolverhampton. The Wolves have just “divorced” Julen Lopetegui, the coach who – as a sub – had allowed them to pull themselves out of trouble last season. At the basis of the breakup were allegedly disagreements with the club. Under these conditions it will be difficult to put up a fight at Old Trafford.
League debut with victory also likely for Atletico Madrid: with Diego Simeone always on the bench, the Colchoneros need no break-in and will start on autopilot to seek the first three points.
Predictions for other games
It will be the challenge between Torino and Feralpisalò that will close the four-day Coppa Italia. The match scheduled at the Olimpico-Grande Torino brings down the curtain on the 32nds of the 2023-24 edition of the national cup, defining the picture of the round of 16. In addition to the likely success of Juric’s team, victories are also on the way for Cremonese and Sampdoria against Crotone and Sudtirol.
