Celtic's Journey to Tannadice

Celtic find themselves traversing amid a disastrous introduction to Wilfried Nancy's reign, with the Glasgow institution having experienced the humiliation of capitulation across each of their first three fixtures under their new custodian. The crushing 3-1 loss to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final epitomised a nadir that few associated with such a establishment could have foreseen.

History records the first manager in the Bhoys' illustrious chronicles to falter across his opening three games in charge, and one senses an urgent need to halt this alarming decline.

Still, confidence may be gleaned from Dundee United's persistent struggles. The Dundee club have proved incapable to claim three points in any of their most recent seven fixtures, and notwithstanding Celtic's ongoing turmoil, the visitors still command more refined ability. We are backing the Parkhead brigade to secure an essential triumph.

Celtic to win, 1.48 – 3SZFYFR

Manchester City vs Brentford

Manchester City approach this EFL Cup quarter-final as significant choices to record victory and march into the next stage of the tournament. The Citizens manifestly boast a stronger roster than their opponents.

Though Brentford have functioned above expectations under incoming manager Keith Andrews this season, the Bees have now failed to claim three points from any of their previous three matches. Moreover, they have equally been unable to triumph in any of their previous five fixtures with the – encompassing four defeats.

Given this context, we are backing Manchester City to record progression and march on for the penultimate stage.

City's progression, 1.19 – 3SZG9LC

Wilson's Moment at St James' Park

Harry Wilson is experiencing a stellar period of confidence for Fulham, with the Principality international scoring four goals in his last seven games for the West London outfit. He also claimed a treble for his Wales during the November FIFA intermission.

Combined with Newcastle's ongoing vulnerability, shipping at least one goal in all of their last eight outings across multiple formats, we are backing Wilson to get on the score sheet once again here.

The Welshman scores, 4.75 – 3SZGJRB

Talavera de La Reina vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid head into this meeting with modest Talavera de La Reina in the Copa del Rey competition universally expected to control the fixture and secure success by a several-goal scoreline.

Los Blancos are expected to alter their starting XI for this meeting, but their reserve squad certainly prove adequately equipped of securing a major victory. We are supporting their quality to prevail in this encounter, with a convincing win and at minimum 3.5 goals registered.

Los Blancos dominant, 1.96 – 3SZGVNM
