Translation of the article content:
On January 7th, there were 4 football matches and 7 NBA basketball games. Here is an analysis of the results:
Football Matches:
-
Melbourne City vs Western United
- In November, Melbourne City could concede 0.5 goals away from home, but this time they only conceded 0.25 goals at home, which seems to offer no support to the home team. However, Western United has been in good form recently, and the continuous drop in odds has increased their appeal, making them a bit too hot. Historically, Melbourne City has a significant advantage over Western United, having lost only one match in recent years while winning all others. Therefore, the drop in odds is more likely to be seen as weakening the home team. I predict a victory for the home team.
- Direction: Win or Draw
- Score Prediction: 2-0, 3-1
- Goal Prediction: 2, 4
-
Brisbane vs Newcastle Jets
- The home team has not won a single game this season and has also suffered two consecutive defeats against the opponent historically. Despite this, they are still able to concede 0.25 goals, showing some support for the home team. However, with the odds set at full water, the confidence is not very strong. Considering the total goals set at 3, it's unlikely for the home team to win by a big margin. Therefore, I predict a draw.
- Direction: Draw
- Score Prediction: 1-1, 2-2
- Goal Prediction: 2, 4
-
Arsenal vs Newcastle
- Arsenal is currently 6 points behind Liverpool in the league standings and has played one more game. Given Liverpool's current form, it seems unlikely for Arsenal to catch up in the league. They should focus on winning the cup instead. Initially, Arsenal was favored by 1 goal, but the odds dropped to 0.75, which may seem like a lack of confidence in the home team. However, historically, Arsenal has never lost at home against Newcastle, indicating a strong home advantage. With the current odds, a small victory for Arsenal would only cover half the bet, not the full amount. Therefore, I lean towards a narrow victory for the home team.
- Direction: Double Chance (Win or Draw) with a preference for a Draw
- Score Prediction: 2-1, 2-2
- Goal Prediction: 3, 4
-
Elche vs Valencia
- Initially, Valencia was favored by 0.5 goals, showing some support for the away team. However, the odds were raised to full water mid-game, indicating a lack of confidence in Valencia. Valencia is currently second to last in the league standings and faces significant relegation pressure. A few days later, they will face Sevilla, who is not performing well either, so there is hope for Valencia to take at least one point away from that match. Therefore, they might choose to give up on the cup competition to conserve energy for the league. With the current odds, Valencia can cover the full bet with just a small victory, which seems too easy. I predict an undefeated outcome for the home team.
- Direction: Let Win or Draw with a preference for a Draw
