Round 4 Predictions

1 - 3

Actual: 0 - 2

The Game Notes: Porto have made a perfect start domestically and should make this a lively occasion at the Dragão, but City arrive in similarly strong shape and have the greater depth to cope with a difficult away test. The hosts can make life uncomfortable early on, but City should have enough quality to pull clear.

2 - 0

Actual: 2 - 1

The Game Notes: This is a heavyweight European opener, but Madrid have an excellent record against Inter at the Bernabéu and have won the last four meetings between the sides. With home advantage and a strong recent record in this fixture, a controlled 2-0 victory feels a good fit.

0 - 3

Actual: 0 - 1

The Game Notes: Millwall have been solid at home and come into this after a convincing league win, so they should make Newcastle work for it. The visitors, though, are unbeaten in the Premier League and have already shown plenty of attacking threat, making a comfortable away win the call.

2 - 1

Actual: 2 - 1

The Game Notes: Liverpool have not had the smoothest domestic start, but Anfield remains a different proposition and this fixture has a habit of producing entertaining, closely fought games. Atletico arrive in steadier form, so Liverpool may have to work for it, but home advantage can just swing a narrow win their way.

1 - 1

Actual: 0 - 1

The Game Notes: Napoli should provide a tough atmosphere and have plenty of European experience, but Arsenal have been exceptionally consistent in the Champions League and arrive with a strong record against Italian opposition. Neither side looks an obvious candidate to dominate, making a competitive 1-1 draw a sensible prediction.

2 - 1

Actual: 6 - 3

The Game Notes: Chelsea's perfect league start has been checked by defeat to Arsenal, but Stamford Bridge gives them a chance to respond immediately. Leeds have begun the season unbeaten and should make this competitive, yet Chelsea's home advantage and overall quality point towards a narrow 2-1 win.
