Celtic's Quest to Tannadice

The Bhoys endure suffering through a disastrous opening chapter to Wilfried Nancy's stewardship, with the Parkhead giants having endured the indignity of capitulation across each of their first three encounters under their incoming tactician. The painful 3-1 loss to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final epitomised the depths that few connected with this institution could have envisaged.

Nancy has become the first manager in the institution's decorated chronicles to suffer defeat in his first three matches in command, and one senses a palpable desire to reverse this alarming decline.

Still, optimism may be drawn from United's persistent tribulations. The Dundee club have been unable to record three points in any of their most recent seven matches, and notwithstanding Celtic's current difficulties, the Bhoys still boast superior quality. We are backing the Parkhead faithful to claim a much-needed three points.

Celtic to win, 1.48 – 3SZFYFR

Manchester City vs Brentford

Manchester City head into this League Cup quarter-final as prohibitive front-runners to secure success and march into the subsequent stage of the tournament. The Etihad outfit manifestly boast a than their West London counterparts.

Though Brentford have operated above predictions under new manager Keith Andrews this season, the Gtech Community Stadium outfit have now been unable to win any of their previous three fixtures. Additionally, they have also proved incapable to win any of their last five fixtures with the Citizens – featuring four reverses.

Considering these factors, we are supporting Manchester City to claim progression and march on for the last four.

City's progression, 1.19 – 3SZG9LC

Newcastle United vs Fulham

Harry Wilson is experiencing an exceptional period of confidence for Fulham, with the Wales star registering four goals in his most recent seven outings for the West London outfit. He also claimed a treble for his nation during the November international break.

Combined with Newcastle's ongoing fragility, allowing at least one goal in each of their previous eight fixtures across multiple formats, we are supporting Wilson to get on the score sheet once more here.

Wilson finds the net, 4.75 – 3SZGJRB

Talavera de La Reina vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid enter this encounter with modest Talavera de La Reina in the Copa del Rey round of 32 widely projected to dominate the encounter and secure triumph by a comfortable scoreline.

Los Blancos are anticipated to refresh their team for this fixture, but their rotation options certainly are adequately equipped of recording an emphatic victory. We are endorsing their class to triumph in this encounter, with an emphatic win and at no fewer than 3.5 goals scored.

Real Madrid & over 3.5 goals, 1.96 – 3SZGVNM
