Saturday's 14-Odds Football For A Win Has Been Thoroughly Analyzed.
Elche vs. Barcelona
When Barcelona hosts Elche at the Camp Nou on Saturday evening, they will be looking to get back on track in La Liga. At the weekend, Xavi's men were held to a 2-2 tie by Osasuna, dropping the squad to eighth place in the table. Barca is desperate to get closer to a Champions League berth, and they will most likely go all out at Los Franjiverdes.
Oscar Mingueza is pressing for a start, but Memphis Depay and Jordi Alba, along with Sergi Roberto, Pedri, Ansu Fati, and Martin Barithwaite, are in the treatment room. Elche, on the other side, is looking to avenge a 2-1 defeat to Valencia. Los Franjiverdes have a reputation of performing far better at home than on the road, and despite Xavi's charges being plagued by injuries, a home win should be contemplated. Pedro Bigas should be the sole defender on the field.
Dortmund vs. Hertha Berlin
L
Borussia Dortmund will aim to stay in the Bundesliga race when they face Hertha Berlin at Olympiastadion on Matchday 17 after defeating bottom-placed Greuther Furth 3-0. Marco Rose's team is six points behind league leaders Bayern Munchen, so this is yet another must-win encounter for the Signal-Iduna-Park squad. In the away squad, Erling Haland, who scored a brace in the midweek victory, will be the man to watch, as Reyna, Guerreiro, Akanji, and Schmelzer continue to be sidelined due to injuries.
In a 4-0 loss to Mainz, the capital club, on the other hand, had all sorts of problems at the back, and we anticipate that Borussia Dortmund will give fans even another reason to rejoice on Saturday evening.
Burnley vs. Aston Villa
The football match between Aston Villa and Burnley will take place at Villa Park on Saturday. The Villans deservedly beat Norwich City on midweek, propelling them into the top half of the table. New manager Steven Gerrard is undeniably aiding the team's development, and they are more than capable of matching the Clarets at home. After scoring in the midweek victory, Olie Watkins should continue to lead the line for the visitors, while Bailey, Nakamba, and Traore are all injured.
Burnley, on the other side, is hoping to avoid relegation. Because the Clarets were not in action over the weekend, fatigued legs should not be a major issue for the visitors. Aston Villa has been showing signs of improvement recently, thus a home win should be considered. Barnes and Roberts are both out of the game.
