Marquee Matchup

We are back for yet another week of Marquee Matchup predictions, and after our fantastic success last week, finding all four matches, we aim to repeat this again!

When making any investments for these events, ensure you consider the nationality, rating, rarity, position, quantity available and most importantly price. Try to cover all formations, or potential requirements and aim to spend as close to discard as possible.

Finally remember that we don't need these to happen to make profit, selling on hype the day or morning before release can often guarantee a strong financial return!

Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos

First up today we have a hate driven fixture between two of Greeks largest clubs known only as the derby of eternal enemies. Apparently Olympiacos use to represent the working class, while Panathinaikos the upper class, today however they both represent the investors class and hopefully it will pay off!

AC Milan vs Juventus

Both teams have started the season a lot slower than they perhaps would of liked, which makes this match all that much more important. Juventus currently sit in 3rd, while AC Milan are bang in the middle of the table in 10th. While not strictly a derby, the lack of Serie A fixtures recently coupled with the size of both teams, leaves this with a strong possibility of showing up.

Boavista vs Porto

Two clubs are in the city, Porto the large, widely supported team and Boavista, much smaller in size and supporters. The derby is know as Derby Da Invicta, and while it looks like one team has the upper hand, expect a fast and furious match, full of surprises!

Zenit vs Lokomotiv

Over to the Russian league for this one, a league that we haven't seen feature in marquee matchups for quite a while. First place Zenit play host to second place Lokomotiv and while this isn't a derby by name, the winner of the match will claim the top spot for themselves. The Russian league SBC has already inflated prices, so be careful either your investments.

Guadalajara vs Atlas

One of the oldest derbies in Mexico sees Guadalajara play host to Atlas in El Clasico Tapatio. Lucky from an investors point of view the cards are all close to discard as it stands and hence plenty of valuable options are ready and waiting for us!

Brighton vs Southampton

We haven't seen the premier League feature in marquee matchups for a few weeks, and hence a return becomes more and more likely with each passing week. We have a few games to choose from, which will be mentioned below, but today I'm opting for the curveball, the south coast Derby. We have plenty of discard options available for this match, but unless your confident with your PL pick, it sure looks like safer options are available elsewhere.

Birmingham vs Aston Villa

Over to the championship for this game and we see Birmingham take on Aston Villa in a heated match. If we hadn't seen Ipswich vs Norwich feature last week, I would be a lot more comfortable in suggesting this, however as it stands it doesn't jump to the top of my predictions.

Hibernian FC vs Hearts

The final choice for this week, and my personal favourite, sees us traveling to Scotland for the Edinburgh Derby. Both clubs sit on equal points meaning the winner will jump ahead, and with a distinct lack of gold cards on the market hype alone should see that investors make a strong profit.
