Celtic's Mission to Tannadice

The Bhoys endure traversing amid a disastrous beginning to Wilfried Nancy's reign, with the Parkhead colossus having endured the ignominy of capitulation across each of their first three fixtures under their new tactician. The crushing 3-1 loss to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final represented rock bottom that few connected with this institution could have envisaged.

The Frenchman enters the only manager in the Bhoys' decorated annals to lose his first three matches in command, and one senses an urgent desire to halt this concerning slide.

Yet, confidence may be extracted from Dundee United's ongoing tribulations. The Dundee outfit have been unable to record victory in any of their most recent seven outings, and for all Celtic's recent turmoil, the Bhoys still command greater talent. We are endorsing the Parkhead faithful to record a crucial victory.

Glasgow Glory, 1.48 – 3SZFYFR

City's EFL Quest

Manchester City approach this Carabao Cup quarter-final as significant choices to claim success and move into the subsequent phase of the cup. The command more accomplished squad than their opponents.

Whilst Brentford have operated above predictions under new manager Keith Andrews this season, the Bees have now failed to claim three points from any of their previous three matches. Furthermore, they have also proved incapable to secure victory from any of their last five encounters with the Citizens – including four reverses.

With that in mind, we are endorsing Manchester City to claim victory and advance for the semi-finals.

The Citizens advance, 1.19 – 3SZG9LC

Newcastle United vs Fulham

Harry Wilson is enjoying an exceptional run of productivity for Fulham, with the Principality international registering four goals in his most recent seven games for the Cottagers. Wilson furthermore secured three goals for his nation during the November qualifying break.

Alongside Newcastle's recent defensive frailties, allowing at minimum a single strike in each of their previous eight outings across all tournaments, we are backing Wilson to get on the score sheet once more in this encounter.

Wilson finds the net, 4.75 – 3SZGJRB

Talavera de La Reina vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid approach this meeting with lower-league Talavera de La Reina in the Copa del Rey round of 32 widely anticipated to overwhelm the encounter and claim triumph by a several-goal margin.

Los Blancos are expected to alter their starting XI for this fixture, but their second-team manifestly remains adequately equipped of claiming a major triumph. We are endorsing their class to prevail in this fixture, with a comfortable triumph and at minimum 3.5 goals registered.

Madrid's goal-laden victory, 1.96 – 3SZGVNM
