Thursday 12 January predictions: the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia continues, there is also the Spanish Super Cup and the Premier League.
The round of 16 of the Coppa Italia continues this Thursday with two more matches: Fiorentina v Sampdoria at 18:00 and Roma v Genoa at 21:00. In the match at the Artemio Franchi, the Viola are favourites against a team, the Blucerchiata, who have other things on their minds at the moment. The position in the Serie A standings is precarious and the first objective is salvation.
Genoa’s primary objective is to make a swift return to Serie A: with Gilardino on the bench, the red and blues have turned things around and will hope to make a good impression at the Olimpico against the Giallorossi, who will not underestimate the task, even though they will be doing a bit of a turn over. Mourinho knows that the Coppa Italia, after last season’s Conference League, could be a good opportunity to add another trophy to his rich trophy cabinet.
Spanish Super Cup and Premier League predictions
In the Premier League there is a replay of the round postponed due to the death of Queen Elizabeth: Fulham and Chelsea face each other in one of London’s many derbies. After the break, Fulham took advantage of a favourable calendar and strung together three consecutive victories against Crystal Palace, Southampton and Leicester. Chelsea in black crisis, however, cannot afford any more missteps.
In Spain there is the other Super Cup semi-final: between Betis and Barcelona, goals and spectacle should not be lacking.
