Thursday, Feb. 29 predictions: cup matches in Spain, Turkey, Portugal and the Netherlands, the Arab league is also played.
Thursday with no European cups but no shortage of matches, staging national cups in Spain, Turkey, Portugal and the Netherlands plus the Arab league with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr.
In the Copa del Rey there is the return leg of the semifinal between Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid: the Basques will try to defend the 1-0 away advantage gained in the first leg. However, the team coached by Simeone compared to past years finds the way of goal with great consistency and in the long run will have to uncover itself, which is why especially in the second half there should be no shortage of goals.
Spectacle and goals highly likely in the Portuguese Cup where Sporting CP and Benfica face each other: the only previous one of the season was won 2-1 in a comeback with two goals after the 90th minute by Benfica, which is why Sporting will try to get revenge.
Betting other matches
In Saudia Arabia likely goleada of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr, which travels at an average of 2.9 goals per game. Same in the UAE for Al Ain, which boasts an average of 2.4 goals scored per game.
In Qatar, Al Ahli Doha’s matches are synonymous with a goal binge: only on one occasion so far have fewer than three been scored overall. Gorges are also expected for Galatasaray and Feyenoord, who after Europa League disappointments will want to make up for it in their respective domestic cups, as will Rennes at home to Le Puy Foot 43 Auvergne.
