Celtic's Quest to Tannadice

Parkhead witnesses suffering through a disastrous beginning to Wilfried Nancy's tenure, with the Parkhead colossus having suffered the ignominy of losing all their initial three matches under their recently-appointed tactician. The painful 3-1 reverse to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final represented rock bottom that few associated with such a establishment could have imagined.

History records the solitary manager in the club's decorated annals to falter across his opening three fixtures in command, and one senses a palpable hunger to arrest this troubling trajectory.

Yet, encouragement may be gleaned from Dundee United's continued tribulations. The Tannadice side have been unable to secure success in any of their most recent seven matches, and for all Celtic's recent difficulties, the away side still boast greater ability. We are endorsing the green-and-white brigade to secure a much-needed victory.

Celtic to win, 1.48 – 3SZFYFR

City's Cup Pursuit

Manchester City approach this League Cup quarter-final as overwhelming favourites to secure success and move into the next phase of the . The hosts clearly possess more accomplished squad than their West London counterparts.

Though Brentford have performed beyond expectations under recently-appointed manager Keith Andrews this season, the West Londoners have now been unable to claim three points from any of their last three fixtures. Moreover, they have equally proved incapable to triumph in any of their last five fixtures with the Citizens – encompassing four defeats.

Considering these factors, we are backing Manchester City to record success and advance for the last four.

City's progression, 1.19 – 3SZG9LC

Newcastle United vs Fulham

Harry Wilson is savouring a magnificent run of productivity for Fulham, with the Welsh maestro registering four goals in his previous seven appearances for the West London outfit. Wilson furthermore secured a treble for his nation during the November FIFA intermission.

When considered against Newcastle's ongoing vulnerability, shipping at minimum a goal in all of their most recent eight outings across multiple tournaments, we are supporting Wilson to register on the score sheet yet again in this encounter.

Wilson finds the net, 4.75 – 3SZGJRB

Madrid's Spanish Procession

Real Madrid enter this fixture with third-tier Talavera de La Reina in the Copa del Rey knockout stages widely projected to overwhelm the evening and record triumph by an emphatic margin.

Los Blancos are expected to refresh their lineup for this meeting, but their reserve squad certainly are more than capable of claiming an emphatic win. We are supporting their superiority to triumph in this fixture, with a convincing triumph and at least 3.5 goals registered.

Los Blancos dominant, 1.96 – 3SZGVNM
