Predictions
THE WEEKEND BINOCULARS FREE FOOTBALL TIPS AND PREDICTIONS 17TH, 18TH & 19TH OCTOBER 2025
1. Middlesborough Vs Ipswich – O1.5 (Friday)
Middlesborough currently 2nd placed on the Championship log host 9th placed Ipswich at Riverside stadium as the league continues. Ipswich are 9th but have not lost a game from their last 5 league fixtures. I expect this to be a tight encounter with both sides fighting for maximum points. I see minimum of 2 goals in this game. 3/3 of their last head-to-head meetings have seen more than one goal.
2. Union Berlin Vs B. Monchengladbach – Yes (Friday)
Football made in Germany returns today after the international break as 13th placed Union Berlin host 17th placed Borussia Monchengladbach that have not won a game since the start of the season. I expect an end-to-end game as the away side will try hard to avoid a loss and grab their 1st win of the season. Union Berlin will also try to push for a win in this fixture since they are home.
3. Nottingham Vs Chelsea – 2 (Saturday)
At City ground, 17th placed Nottingham host 7th placed Chelsea as the Premier League gets to match day 8. Nottingham have lost 4/5 of their last 5 EPL games and have not won a single game from their last 5 games. I expect a Win for Chelsea who have a better pedigree and a better squad compared to the hosts. It will be a hard fought for win but I see Chelsea slightly edging Nottingham.
4. Brighton Vs Newcastle – (Yes)
After 7 games played, here comes match day 8 at Amex as Brighton host stubborn Magpies. Both sides are tied at 9 points with Newcastle in 11th spot bettering the hosts in 12th with just goal difference. I anticipate an open end-to-end open game as both sides fancy direct approach to football. I see a goal scored by both sides.
5. Fulham Vs Arsenal – 2 (Saturday)
Here comes another London derby just after the Gunners topped the log prior to the international break. Of course, it is never an easy game for any away side at Craven cottage but basing on current form and motivation by the gunners after that log lead and given the fact that Liverpool is playing Man United, I see Arsenal winning this game to secure their top spot in the league.
6. Marseille Vs Le Havre – 1&O1.5 (Saturday)
At Stade Velodrome, 2nd placed Marseille with just a point behind log leaders Paris Saint Germain host 14th placed Marseille who have drawn all their last 3 league matches. I see the home side attaining three points given the fact that they are pushing for the league. Marseille have won 4/4 of their last head-to-head meetings with Le Havre.
7. Bayern Munich Vs Dortmund – Yes&O2.5 (Saturday)
If we are talking of an in-form team in the World currently, no one can skip Bayern Munich that have proven to win game after game since the start of the season. They currently lead the Bundesliga log with a 100% record from the 6 games played so far. Dortmund are also really doing well as they have not lost any game since the start of the season and only trailing Bayern by 4 points in 2nd position due to the 2 draws, they have made so far from the 6 games played. I expect an end-to-end game as it is going to be a key decider in setting the title pace of the league. Expect goals to flock and each team will score. Yes &Over2.5 and we seal it.
8. Barcelona Vs Girona – 1&O2.5 (Saturday)
Prior to the international break, Barcelona lost 4:1 to Sevilla and lost their top spot of the league to real Madrid. Here comes 18th placed Girona that have only attained 6 points from 8 games played so far. I see Barcelona winning this game comfortably with the game having more than 2 goals to go back on top of the league prior to Real Madrid’s game on Sunday.
9. Liverpool Vs Man United – 1 (Sunday)
After losing 3 games in their last 3 outing in all competitions, I see Liverpool trying to come back and give their fans hope of defending the league. They are playing home and they quite have a number of players who need to prove their worth following big amounts spent on them. Man United are not yet stable with their new system so I expect them to struggle against an organized Liverpool side at Anfield. Man United last defeated Liverpool at Anfield in 2016 by 1:0 thanks to Wayne Mark Rooney.
10. AC Milan Vs Fiorentina – 1 (Sunday)
At the famous historical San Siro, AC Milan currently 3rd placed with just 2 points behind 2nd placed and 1st placed AS Roma and Napoli respectively host 17th placed Fiorentina who have not won a game from their last 5 games. Pushing to go top of the league or cling their gap with log leaders, I see Milan winning this game following Fiorentina’s poor form.
~GOOD LUCK~
