Real Madrid Look to Start New Year with a Bang
As the festive interval in Spain comes to an end, Real Madrid will be eager to kick off the New Year by climbing to the top of the La Liga table.
There are several exciting matches taking place across France, Portugal, and Turkey this weekend, offering plenty of early weekend action for soccer fans.
Before the European games begin, let’s take a closer look at some of the most intriguing betting markets for Friday’s matches.
19:00 AC Ajaccio vs Annecy
After spending last season in Ligue 2 limbo, Annecy has made a strong comeback this year. They have emerged as one of France’s surprise packages and currently sit in the play-off places. With just four points separating them from the automatic promotion spots, Annecy is in high spirits. They have not lost a single game in their last six appearances across all competitions and have only suffered one defeat in their last 10 outings. Annecy has also kept a clean sheet in their previous three Ligue 2 matches, making them a formidable opponent for AC Ajaccio.
AC Ajaccio, on the other hand, is facing a tough battle this season. They narrowly avoided relegation last year and have struggled to find their form this season. With just one point from their last four Ligue 2 games and only one win in their last 11 matches across all competitions, AC Ajaccio is in a precarious position. They were also beaten 3-1 by Annecy in their previous encounter, so they will need to step up their game to avoid another defeat.
Betting Tip: Annecy draw no bet @ 19/20 with Pribet
20:00 Valencia vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid ended 2024 on a high note with a 4-2 victory against Sevilla. They will be looking to continue their winning streak and climb to the top of the La Liga table. With four wins in their last five matches and no defeats in the past month, Real Madrid is in excellent form. They have been impressive in front of goal, scoring at least three goals in their last five games across all competitions.
Valencia, on the other hand, is struggling this season. They are currently in the relegation zone and have failed to win any of their last five La Liga matches. With an injury crisis and only one home victory since September, Valencia faces an uphill battle against Real Madrid. It will be a challenging start for new manager Carlos Corberan.
