Chelsea vs Middlesbrough

Chelsea faces the challenge of overturning a one-goal deficit as they welcome Championship side Middlesbrough to Stamford Bridge for the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final on Tuesday night. Hackney's 37th-minute strike proved decisive in the first-leg encounter, giving Michael Carrick's side the advantage as they aim to deliver the final blow in this matchup. Despite having numerous chances in the initial encounter, Chelsea failed to convert any into goals, paying the price for their poor finishing. Middlesbrough holds the lead, but they cannot rely on the goal deficit, as Chelsea is expected to fiercely pursue a comeback victory. We anticipate that Chelsea will secure a victory in this fixture, scoring a minimum of two goals.

Guinea vs Senegal

Guinea requires just one point to secure a top-two finish in the group and ensure their qualification for the knockout stage, while Senegal, having already sealed their place in the last 16, must avoid defeat to finish at the top of the group. Senegal earned their spot in the knockout stages of AFCON 2023 after a thrilling 3-1 victory over Cameroon in their second group game, with Sadio Mane scoring the final goal. With the top spot in the group at stake, Senegal aims to maintain their unbeaten run in their final group game on Tuesday. We believe that Senegal is unstoppable at this point, and a victory or draw is more than assured for them in this match.
