Football event forecast on May 17: Selected FA Cup, Ligue 1 (including scores)

FA Cup: Crystal Palace VS Manchester City

Crystal Palace: Crystal Palace has been in excellent shape recently, with 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 games, and defeated Villa 3-0 in the FA Cup semi-finals. He drew Arsenal and defeated Tottenham in the league. His defensive counterattack efficiency was extremely high (response success rate of 35%) and all the players were healthy. Only long-term injuries Dukure and Riad were absent. The team mainly plays a 5-4-1 Iron Barrel Formation, Eze (13 goals and 11 assists) and Olisse are the key to breaking through the wing, with a set piece scoring rate of 18.4% (5th in the Premier League).

Manchester City: Manchester City has 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 games. After losing streaks in the Champions League and the Premier League, the FA Cup has become a drunken hope to avoid the "four majors" in the season, but the main players of the defense, Acker, Stones and Rodri are all absent due to injuries. Young youth training player Lewis may play a guest role in the fullback, and lack of experience may become a fatal shortcoming. Although Haaland returned, his form was in a sluggish state (only 1 goal was recorded after his comeback), his old ankle injury has not healed, and Rodri's absence has led to a decline in the midfield's interception ability. However, De Bruyne (averages 3.2 key passes per game)'s midfield scheduling is still the core advantage.

Personal opinion: Manchester City won the final twice in the past three years, with an advantage in experience, but Crystal Palace has tied the game against Manchester City in the past two home games, and has been away in 2021-22 season 2021-22. Overall, Manchester City's defense risks and Haaland's condition weaken its stability, and Crystal Palace has the ability to cover the cold. In light of the changes in the Kagu, we are optimistic that Crystal Miyagi will not be defeated in this game, or shake hands and make peace in regular time. For example: 1-0 1-1

Ligue 1: Lens VS Monaco

Lens: Lens ranked 9th with 14 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses this season, with 49 points, 5 points away from the European War Zone, and there is no hope of competing. As a traditional powerhouse, Lens performed mediocre at home (ranked 13th with 6 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses), with less than 1 goal per game, and his offense was weak. Although his form has rebounded at the end of the season, he has been defeated by Lance and Ausselle in the last two home games, and his home momentum is sluggish, exposing the problem of insufficient front line efficiency.

Monaco: Monaco ranked third with 18 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, with 61 points, and secured a place in the Champions League group stage in advance. The team has been in a hot state recently, unbeaten for 5 consecutive rounds, scoring more than two goals in the last two rounds, and the attacking line has fully firepowered. The core Enboluo and Takumi Minami are in excellent condition, which is the key to the team's victory. As a away expert, Monaco's performance is relatively stable away, but he has only won 2 games in his last 10 away games. There is a hidden danger of laxity on the defensive end, so you need to be vigilant about set pieces defense.

Personal opinion: The data is tilted against Monaco. The visiting team has won two victories against Lens in the past three leagues, and has a psychological advantage. In the first leg, Monaco drew 1-1 at home, and his positioning in this game was slightly improved. Considering that Monaco's Champions League seat has stabilized, his willingness to fight may decline, and his away record is weak, so accidents need to be guarded against. Lons' home defense has rebounded. He may adopt a intensive defensive strategy in this game, but there is a lack of offensive blasts. However, if Monaco cannot open the situation, a draw is more likely. Score reference: 1-1 2-2
