Sunday, Aug. 6 predictions: great soccer returns with the Community Shield final between Manchester City and Arsenal.
Big European soccer finally returns with the Community Shield final between Manchester City and Arsenal. An appetizer of the new season, with all the major leagues now close to kicking off. The Gunners will try to avenge the comeback they suffered in the last Premier League championship, but it won’t be easy to get right with the reigning European champions coached by Guardiola, who just a few months ago showed they know how to face finals, beating Inter Milan in the Champions League and Manchester United in the FA Cup.
Continues this Sunday the first day of Championship with two relegated teams from the Premier League candidates for a top championship: Leicester (coached by the Italian Maresca) and Leeds should get to grips with Coventry and Cardiff.
Other match predictions
For those hunting for goal-scoring matches, the advice is to also look at the several friendlies scheduled for today. Among the most spectacular ones on paper are Tottenham-Shakhtar Donetsk and Borussia Dortmund-Ajax.
Goals are also coming up around Europe among the minor leagues: Nordsjaelland-Brondby and Jahn Regensburg-Unterhaching. Cristiano Ronaldo, Talisca, and Sadio Mané’s Al Nassr will also be on the pitch, taking on Raja Casablanca in the Arab Club Champions Cup.
