Celtic's Journey to Tannadice

Parkhead witnesses suffering within an unprecedented introduction to Wilfried Nancy's stewardship, with the Parkhead colossus having endured the indignity of capitulation across each of their first three encounters under their incoming manager. The crushing 3-1 reverse to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final represented a nadir that few connected with this institution could have imagined.

The Frenchman enters the first manager in the institution's decorated history to suffer defeat in his initial three matches in command, and one senses a desperate hunger to reverse this alarming trajectory.

However, confidence may be gleaned from the Tangerines' ongoing difficulties. The Tannadice side have been unable to secure three points in any of their last seven outings, and despite Celtic's recent turmoil, the visitors still possess greater talent. We are endorsing the green-and-white institution to record an essential victory.

Celtic to win, 1.48 – 3SZFYFR

Manchester City vs Brentford

Manchester City approach this EFL Cup quarter-final as overwhelming favourites to secure success and advance into the semi-final phase of the tournament. The hosts manifestly boast more accomplished roster than their West London counterparts.

While Brentford have performed above projections under recently-appointed manager Keith Andrews this season, the West Londoners have now proved incapable to secure victory in any of their most recent three games. Furthermore, they have likewise failed to secure victory from any of their last five fixtures with the Citizens – featuring four losses.

With that in mind, we are supporting Manchester City to record victory and march on for the semi-finals.

Manchester City to qualify, 1.19 – 3SZG9LC

Newcastle United vs Fulham

Harry Wilson is experiencing a magnificent period of form for Fulham, with the Principality star registering four goals in his most recent seven games for the West London outfit. He also claimed three goals for his Wales during the November international intermission.

Combined with Newcastle's ongoing vulnerability, allowing at no fewer than a goal in each of their last eight matches across every tournaments, we are supporting Wilson to get on the mark sheet yet again here.

Wilson finds the net, 4.75 – 3SZGJRB

Talavera de La Reina vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid approach this fixture with third-tier Talavera de La Reina in the Copa del Rey round of 32 widely anticipated to overwhelm the encounter and record victory by a comfortable distance.

Los Blancos are likely to rotate their lineup for this meeting, but their reserve squad manifestly remains adequately equipped of securing an emphatic win. We are backing their superiority to dominate in this fixture, with a comfortable victory and at minimum 3.5 goals netted.

Real Madrid & over 3.5 goals, 1.96 – 3SZGVNM
