Dundee United vs Celtic

Parkhead witnesses traversing through a disastrous introduction to Wilfried Nancy's reign, with the Parkhead colossus having suffered the humiliation of defeat in all their first three encounters under their incoming custodian. The crushing 3-1 loss to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final represented a nadir that few aligned with this establishment could have foreseen.

Nancy has become the first manager in the institution's decorated chronicles to suffer defeat in his first three games in command, and there exists an urgent desire to halt this concerning slide.

However, encouragement may be gleaned from Dundee United's ongoing difficulties. The home side have proved incapable to claim three points in any of their last seven outings, and for all Celtic's ongoing difficulties, the visitors still command superior ability. We are supporting the green-and-white institution to claim a much-needed victory.

Celtic to win, 1.48 – 3SZFYFR

City's Quarter-Final Quest

Manchester City approach this League Cup quarter-final as significant favourites to claim victory and march into the next round of the cup. The Etihad outfit manifestly boast more accomplished squad than their West London counterparts.

Though Brentford have operated exceeding projections under incoming manager this season, the Bees have now failed to secure victory in any of their last three matches. Moreover, they have equally failed to secure victory from any of their most recent five encounters with the Manchester outfit – featuring four reverses.

Given this context, we are supporting Manchester City to claim progression and advance for the last four.

The Citizens advance, 1.19 – 3SZG9LC

Newcastle United vs Fulham

Harry Wilson is experiencing a magnificent spell of productivity for Fulham, with the Welsh star registering four goals in his previous seven outings for the Cottagers. Wilson furthermore secured three goals for his country during the November qualifying break.

Combined with Newcastle's recent vulnerability, shipping at least one goal in all of their most recent eight fixtures across multiple formats, we are endorsing Wilson to get on the mark sheet yet again here.

Harry Wilson to score anytime, 4.75 – 3SZGJRB

Talavera de La Reina vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid approach this meeting with modest Talavera de La Reina in the Copa del Rey knockout stages widely anticipated to overwhelm the fixture and record triumph by a comfortable distance.

Los Blancos are likely to alter their lineup for this meeting, but their second-team undoubtedly prove sufficiently talented of recording a major triumph. We are supporting their quality to triumph in this contest, with an emphatic win and at no fewer than 3.5 goals registered.

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