Crucial Encounters Accross Europe: Accumulator Tip for February 08

It is another Saturday and it will be a battle of competition and a high level of play. At home, Real Madrid will welcome second-placed Atletico Madrid as they continue their fight for the title. While Chelsea takes on Brighton at Falmer Stadium in the fourth round of the FA Cup. I will look into the betting analysis of the above matches, alongside a league encounter between Empoli and AC Milan in the Serie A. 

Empoli vs AC Milan

AC Milan have been one of the decent sides in Serie A since signing their new boss, Sérgio Conceição. However, the most important thing is how well they can maintain consistency as they continue to fight for a spot in Europe. At home, I expect a more decent performance from Empoli, having failed to win any of their last five matches in this venue. These are two teams with different levels of play and character and I believe AC Milan are still the side for the job. Also, with a fluidity level of attacking play from AC Milan, while Empoli continue to struggle defensively, a bet on a goal is another to consider.

BET: W2 and Total 2 Over 1.5 Goals 

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid

These are two teams working so hard to balance things off and they cannot afford to slip off. The title is on the line in this game, and looking at how well the two teams have been playing, I have no doubt this will end with close scores. At home, Real Madrid are favourites, which is not surprising considering their attacking depth. While Atletico Madrid are expected to exploit Real’s defensive issues, I will be backing the two teams to find the back of the net, as I expect a lot offensively from the home side. 

BET: Both Teams to Score

Brighton vs Chelsea

Chelsea, under the leadership of Italian gaffer Enzo Maresca, will continue in their bid for a title this season and will hope things go their way in this game. Coming into this game, on the other hand, Brighton suffered one of their most humiliating defeats in history against Nottingham Forest last weekend and will hope to turn the tables, having now lost two consecutive games. Yet, Chelsea have lost only once in recent times. Taking a look at their past meetings, Chelsea have easily dominated this fixture, failing to lose since 2023 in this fixture. I do not see this game ending in a draw, and with Chelsea expected to view this game as crucial, I believe they will win, as I am confident they will field their best squad. 

BET: Chelsea to Win
