Africafoot’s betting experts recorded a series of successful predictions as clubs continued their preparations for the new season, with a limited number of competitive fixtures taking place alongside pre-season friendlies.
The week’s review included Champions League qualifying action, a meeting between Real Betis and Olympique Lyonnais, and a game involving FC Barcelona and Birmingham. The results followed several of the recommendations published by Africafoot’s specialists, including a winning selection priced at 3.75 in the week’s headline betting focus.
On Tuesday, 28 July, Hearts faced Sturm in the second leg of their Champions League qualifying tie. Sturm had already taken a commanding advantage from the first meeting, winning 4-0, and completed another convincing result by claiming a 2-0 victory in the return match.
That outcome meant Arthur Wandji’s prediction was successful. His selection had been offered at odds of 1.92, providing one of the week’s early winning recommendations.
The following day, on 29 July, Real Betis hosted Olympique Lyonnais in a friendly fixture as both clubs continued their preparations for the new campaign. Real Betis produced a decisive performance, defeating the French side 4-0.
The Spanish club scored twice in each half, leaving Olympique Lyonnais facing a heavy loss in a match that was intended to help both teams build towards the new season.
Mahamad Sangare had backed a Real Betis victory in his preview of the game. The selection, supported by the experts at 1xBet, was priced at 2.03 and also proved correct.
The final match highlighted in Africafoot’s review brought together FC Barcelona, the champions of Spain, and Birmingham, who compete in the Championship, the second tier of English football. Despite FC Barcelona’s status and the expectations surrounding the fixture, the Catalan side were unable to turn the match into a win.
The game ended 2-2 after 90 minutes, meaning the two teams shared the goals in an evenly balanced finish. Nasser Eddy had predicted that the match would end in a draw, and bettors who followed the Africafoot expert’s advice saw that forecast come through.
The three fixtures illustrate the range of matches covered by Africafoot’s analysts during the previous week. Their selections included a Champions League qualifying result, a clear victory in a pre-season meeting and a draw involving one of Spain’s leading clubs.
With the new season approaching, the experts are continuing to assess both official matches and friendlies, where clubs are refining their form and testing their squads. The weekly review brings together the outcomes of those recommendations, with the successful picks involving Sturm, Real Betis and the draw between FC Barcelona and Birmingham.
