Match Result and BTTS Tips for Wednesday’s Action – 19/5/21

The first game on this list comes from the Australian A-league where ninth-placed Perth Glory host fourth in the table Adelaide United at HBF Park.

Perth have been in the best form of any team in the league since the start of May, winning all three of their matches so far against the likes of Melbourne Victory, Western United and Western Sydney Wanderers 2-1, 3-0 and 5-1, with former Wolves striker Andy Keogh bagging four times in the last match.

Meanwhile, Adelaide United have won one, 1-0 against Brisbane Roar, lost one 4-1 to Melbourne City and even drew 0-0 against Wellington Pheonix.

The last meeting between these two sides was back in January, where Perth thumped Adelaide 5-3 thanks to strikes from Neil Kilkenny, Nicholas D’Agostino, Bruno Fornaroli and Carlo Armiento.

Atalanta take on Juventus in the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday night, in a match that could potentially see Gian Piero Gasperini’s side win their first major trophy since 1963, whilst Andrea Pirlo is looking to get his first in management.

Gasperini’s side are the most free-scoring teams in the league, having found the back of the net 90 times in 37 matches. This has been evident in Atalanta’s recent scorelines, as they have won four of their last five matches, via 4-3, 2-0, 5-2 and 5-0 against Genoa, Benevento, Parma and Bologna, as well as drawing 1-1 with Sassuolo on 2nd May.

Juventus come into this match-winning three of their last four matches, of which both teams have scored in each of them in 3-2, 3-1 and 2-1 victories over Inter Milan, Sassuolo and Udinese.

With the likes of Serie A top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo playing for Juve and finding the back of the net 29 times in 33 appearances, it is hard to back against the Old Lady due to the calibre of players that they have and past experiences of winning trophies, regardless of their league position.

AS Monaco face PSG in the final of the Coupe de France on Wednesday night at the Stade de France.

Each side reached the final in very different circumstances, as Monaco beat Rumilly Vallieres 5-1 via strikes from Aurelien Tchouameni, Wissam Ben Yedder, Cesc Fabregas, Aleksandr Golovin and an own goal from Arthur Bozon Petrier. Whilst PSG dramatically saw off Montpellier 6-5 on penalties, following a 2-2 draw which saw Kylian Mbappe bag a brace.

Both teams have scored in three of Monaco’s last four games, in 2-1 and 5-1 wins against Rennes and Rumilly Vallieres, as well as in their 3-2 home defeat to Lyon on 2nd May.

Meanwhile, PSG have won two of their last five games against Reims 4-0 and Lens 2-1, as well as drawing 1-1 and 2-2 with Rennes and Montpellier.

Monaco have done the double over PSG in the league this season, winning 2-0 and 3-2, showing their capability to score past the Parisian’s, but, with the likes of Neymar and Mbappe both available for the final, you’d expect with the quality that Mauricio Pochettino has at his disposal that he’d be the manager lifting the Coupe de France on Wednesday night.

The next game on this list of tips comes from the Premier League, where Crystal Palace host Arsenal at Selhurst Park, with the Gunners looking to make a late challenge for the European places, as they sit four points behind seventh-placed West Ham with two games to go.

The last two matches that Palace have been involved in have seen both teams score, in a 3-2 win against Aston Villa last time out, after losing to Southampton 3-1 on 11th May.

Mikel Arteta’s side come into this match in the better form out of the two sides, having won their last three fixtures against Newcastle United, West Brom and Chelsea, with both teams scoring in their 3-1 victory over the Baggies, as Emile Smith-Rowe, Nicolas Pepe and Willian all got on the scoresheet.

The final game on this list of tips comes from the Belgian Pro League, where KV Oostende take on Mechelen at the Diaz Arena in the Europa League play-offs. At present, KV Oostende top of the four-team league, three points clear of Mechelen in the standings.

The hosts come into this match in poor form, having been beaten 4-0, 2-1 and 5-3 by Gent (twice) and Mechelen, despite beating Standard Liege 6-2 on 1st May, their three defeats in a row ultimately saw them surrender a place in the Championship Playoff to Anderlecht.

Mechelen have won four of their last five matches, with both teams scoring in each of their last five fixtures, having defeated Standard Liege 2-1 and 3-1, Oostende 5-3 and Kortrijk 4-1, as well as drawing 2-2 with Gent.

The last meeting between these two sides, as mentioned above finished in a 5-3 thumping of Oostende for Mechelen, as the hosts came back from two goals down, having conceded twice in the opening half-hour of the game to Fashion Sakala, Arthur Theate, before a Nikola Storm brace, as well as goals from Kerim Mrabti, Jordi Vanlerberghe and Igor de Camargo settled the outcome.
