Champions League Tips

Brighton have five wins in their last six games and face a Spurs side with the worst home record in the Premier League, but the hosts have scored in 15 of their last 16 home fixtures so should find the net.

An 11-game winless run has seen Tranmere plummet down the League Two standings, with the relegation-threatened club losing nine of those. They have lost nine of their last ten at home and come up against Bristol Rovers, who have won three of their last four away days.

Chelsea have lost five of their last six games and four of their last five at Stamford Bridge, with their only success in this period coming against Port Vale. Manchester United have only lost one of their five away games since Michael Carrick’s arrival, including wins at Arsenal and Everton.

Real Sociedad were beaten 3-2 away at Atletico Madrid in La Liga at the beginning of March and that means that they are winless in nine meetings with Rojiblancos, a run stretching back to January 2022. Both teams have scored in seven of Atletico’s last nine, though, so Sociedad should get on the scoresheet.

Leeds were great value for their 2-1 win at Manchester United on Monday and they can edge further away from relegation with a victory over bottom side Wolves. A win would take the Whites to the magical 39 points, deemed to generally be enough to stay in the Premier League, and the manner of their win at Old Trafford suggests they can beat the Old Gold without conceding as their visitors have failed to score in their last four on the road.

After a disappointing start to 2026, Leipzig have won five of their last six Bundesliga matches to strengthen their top-four position and they can keep the hot streak going at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Wimbledon are on the cusp of the relegation zone and head into this tie having taken one point from the last 24 available. They have lost three of their last four at home and face a Plymouth side that have won two and drawn one of their last three trips away.

Newcastle have shipped 11 goals across their last three games and have conceded at least twice in nine of their last 12 home games across all competitions. The Cherries have scored twice in back-to-back games against Manchester United and Arsenal, and they scored twice when they visited St James’ Park in the FA Cup in January – and added a third in extra time. Over 1.5 goals for the visitors looks a good angle here.

After an emotional come-from-behind win against the Clippers, I’m grabbing the Suns in a letdown spot for the Warriors. The Suns are one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the NBA. With an older Draymond Green and Al Horford roaming the paint, plus a hobbled Porzingis, the clear path towards a Suns win is on the offensive glass.

Brentford are still in the hunt for European qualification and they can strengthen their claims with a victory over West London rivals, Fulham. The Bees have drawn their last five matches in all competitions but late goals have stopped them landing all three points in their last two home outings against Everton and Wolves. Fulham have struggled on the road this term and have little left to play for in 12th spot.

Leeds were great value for their 2-1 win at Manchester United on Monday and they can edge further away from relegation with a victory over bottom side Wolves. A win would take the Whites to the magical 39 points, deemed to generally be enough to stay in the Premier League, and the manner of their win at Old Trafford suggests they can beat the Old Gold without conceding as their visitors have failed to score in their last four on the road.

Over 1.5 goals for the visitors looks a good angle here.

The fact former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is overseeing his first home game in charge of Tottenham does add an element of uncertainty to this fixture but on form alone a strong case can be made for a Seagulls win. Brighton have five wins in their last six games, including each of their last three, and they are facing a Spurs side with the worst home record in the division. Spurs have just two points to show from their last eight league games at this venue, so Albion should be able to leave with maximum points.

Chelsea have lost five of their last six games and four of their last five at Stamford Bridge, with their only success in this period coming against Port Vale. Manchester United have only lost one of their five away games since Michael Carrick’s arrival, including wins at Arsenal and Everton.

Barnsley look the best bet at home to Bradford. Bradford’s away form is dreadful, losing seven of their last nine road games, and their defence has been leaking lately. Barnsley are capable of scoring against good sides and have a strong record in this matchup, losing only one of the last seven meetings and often keeping Bradford quiet. With Bradford also trending towards low-scoring defeats, backing the home side makes sense.

Walsall look the best bet away at Barrow. They are 26 points clear and have a strong scoring record in these matchups, averaging 2.40 goals away against bottom-six teams. Barrow struggle badly for goals, especially at home, scoring just 0.76 per game. With Walsall the stronger side and Barrow limited in attack, the visitors should have the edge.

Chelsea have lost five of their last six games and four of their last five at Stamford Bridge, with their only success in this period coming against Port Vale. Manchester United have only lost one of their five away games since Michael Carrick’s arrival, including wins at Arsenal and Everton.

Brighton have five wins in their last six games and face a Spurs side with the worst home record in the Premier League, but the hosts have scored in 15 of their last 16 home fixtures so should find the net.

Real Sociedad were beaten 3-2 away at Atletico Madrid in La Liga at the beginning of March and that means that they are winless in nine meetings with Rojiblancos, a run stretching back to January 2022. Both teams have scored in seven of Atletico’s last nine, though, so Sociedad should get on the scoresheet.

Both teams have scored in Falkirk’s last six games and this is expected to be another entertaining affair. They have secured a top-six finish in the Scottish Premiership and should beat rivals Dunfermline, who are 21 points off the pace in the second tier.

Preston have scored in four games in a row and, with West Brom also likely to find the net, both teams to score is the best bet when they meet at Deepdale on Saturday.

Igor Thiago bagged a brace in the 2-2 draw with Everton last week and the Brentford hotshot should be backed to continue his scoring streak. Thiago has scored 25 goals in 36 matches in all competitions this season and is fighting it with Erling Haaland for the Premier League golden boot. Taking Brentford’s penalties also aids the Thiago cause in this bet.

Noah Okafor scored both of Leeds United’s goals in the 2-1 win at Manchester United on Monday and it may be worth backing him to maintain his hot streak at Elland Road on Saturday. Okafor caused United all kinds of problems with his movement in attack and the Swiss forward has bagged four goals in his last four league matches for the Whites.

Eli Junior Kroupi is the form man in the Bournemouth attack as he has scored in each of their last two games against United and the Gunners. The 19-year-old now has 10 goals in 27 league appearances this season and he looks a decent candidate for an anytime effort on Saturday.

Danny Welbeck is Albion’s leading scorer this season with 12 goals and four of those strikes have come in his last six games. He can add to his account in North London.

Southampton’s surge has propelled them into the battle for Championship automatic promotion and the Saints should be too slick for Swansea.Southampton have not suffered defeat since the middle of January and they have won 11 of their last 13 league matches to move within three points of second-placed Ipswich.Tonda Eckert’s side have also sealed their spot in the FA Cup semi-final after upsetting Premier League leaders Arsenal and, with confidence at an all-time high, they should be fancied to record victory at Swansea.The Swans snapped a four-game winless run with last weekend’s victory at struggling Leicester but Southampton are rampant and they were emphatic 5-1 winners on their last away trip to Wrexham.

It always looked likely that AFC Wimbledon would have their work cut out to stay up after winning last season’s League Two playoffs, but their recent slump has been alarming and they may fall deeper into trouble against Plymouth.Johnnie Jackson’s team have reached 50 points but there will be concerns that won’t be enough as they have claimed just one draw from their last eight games and Exeter are breathing down their necks.Plymouth drew 2-2 with their Devon rivals last week, but they have found some form at just the right time.Argyle have lost just one of their last eight League One outings and have scored 15 goals in their last six away matches. A playoff place looks a tough ask but still remains possible and they are unlikely to take their foot off the gas.

With three games to go, the Latics still have the chance to clinch a League Two play-off spot despite a couple of recent slip-ups.Mickey Mellon’s side have lost back-to-back away games in their last two matches, which leaves them seven points outside the top six.So Oldham really need a win to keep their hopes alive and they face a Salford team who have failed to score in three of their last five games.The hosts are unbeaten in their last seven matches at Boundary Park, a run that stretches back to January 31st.

I think Manchester United are good things to win their top-five battle with a horrible Chelsea side.The Blues have lost five of their last six matches and the only victory on that run was a FA Cup success over Port Vale, who are soon to be relegated from League One.The west Londoners have been a huge Premier League force, but they are now a club without a top-level manager, a squad lacking unity, quality and commitment and there really is little to recommend the Blues on Saturday.The Red Devils were turned over by Leeds on Monday night, but Michael Carrick’s men are moving in the right direction and they have been united enough to beat Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool this season.

Burgos look massively overpriced at a whopping 15/4 to win at promotion rivals Castellon in the Spanish second tier.The visitors are one of La Liga 2’s form teams with six wins and no defeats in their last eight games, and they have the second-best away record in the division with 27 points from 17 trips.Castellon sit sixth in the standings, one place and two points behind their opponents, and they are in decent form as they are unbeaten in five. However, Castellon have only won two of those fixtures and they are the only wins they’ve managed in their last nine games.Burgos have won three of their last four away from home and they look excellent value to claim all three points at a direct rival on Saturday.

Hoffenheim have taken just two points from their last four Bundesliga games and one from their last three home fixtures, and they could fall foul of an in-form Borussia Dortmund side.Dortmund may have lost to Bayer Leverkusen last time out, but they had won four successive games prior to that defeat and they have taken maximum points from four of their last five league away games. Hoffenheim have lost their last five home meetings with Dortmund and look set for another miserable afternoon.

Newcastle have shipped 11 goals across their last three games and have conceded at least twice in nine of their last 12 home games across all competitions. The Cherries have scored twice in back-to-back games against Manchester United and Arsenal, and they scored twice when they visited St James’ Park in the FA Cup in January – and added a third in extra time. Over 1.5 goals for the visitors looks a good angle here.

Over 3.5 goals looks the best bet when Leverkusen host Augsburg. Leverkusen are scoring regularly and their games can open up, while both defences have been shaky. Augsburg are especially vulnerable away, still without a clean sheet on the road this season and conceding heavily overall. With Leverkusen strong at home in this matchup, this has the feel of a high-scoring home win with Augsburg still able to nick one.

An 11-game winless run has seen Tranmere plummet down the League Two standings, with the relegation-threatened club losing nine of those. They have lost nine of their last ten at home and come up against Bristol Rovers, who have won three of their last four away days.

Wrexham’s play-off hopes have taken a hit lately but they should be able to get back on track against poor-travellers Stoke. The visitors have lost their last five away games by an aggregate score of 10-2 and the Red Dragons have won three of their last five at home.

Northampton’s return to League Two has been confirmed, with the bottom-placed side 15 points adrift of safety with only four games to play. They are on an eight-game losing streak and haven’t won since February, including four defeats from their last five at home, while Doncaster have won four of their last seven.

Wimbledon are on the cusp of the relegation zone and head into this tie having taken one point from the last 24 available. They have lost three of their last four at home and face a Plymouth side that have won two and drawn one of their last three trips away.

Chelsea have lost five of their last six games and four of their last five at Stamford Bridge, with their only success in this period coming against Port Vale. Manchester United have only lost one of their five away games since Michael Carrick’s arrival, including wins at Arsenal and Everton.

Napoli to win 1-0 at home looks a decent correct-score bet. Four of the last six Serie A meetings between these sides have finished with under 2.5 goals and Napoli have been 1-0 winners in two of their last three league games. Lazio also lost 1-0 to Fiorentina in their last Serie A game.

Five of Leipzig’s last six league successes have been by a solitary goal and 2-1 is the way to go for correct-score bettors. The Red Bulls have won by that scoreline in their last three road victories.

Chelsea have lost five of their last six games and four of their last five at Stamford Bridge, with their only success in this period coming against Port Vale. Manchester United have only lost one of their five away games since Michael Carrick’s arrival, including wins at Arsenal and Everton.

Atalanta have generally struggled to find the net on their Serie A travels and they look set to come unstuck against Roma, who have shown strong form at the Stadio Olimpico.

Lille have shown some strong form at home and with Nice struggling against the top Ligue 1 teams on their travels, the home side should claim a win without conceding.

Real Sociedad were beaten 3-2 away at Atletico Madrid in La Liga at the beginning of March and that means that they are winless in nine meetings with Rojiblancos, a run stretching back to January 2022. Atletico will be desperate to get this one under their belt.

Anytime goalscorer punters may look to Casemiro, who scored Manchester United’s only goal of the game against Leeds to take his tally to eight Premier League goals for the season. The veteran midfielder has scored in three of his last four appearances for the Red Devils and looks a high-value pick to find the net.

Union Santa Fe are unbeaten in seven home games this season and have conceded just one goal in this run, including four wins to nil. Newell’s Old Boys have lost four of their six trips away and have failed to score in three of those defeats.

These sides are separated by just two points in the Costa Rica Primera Division, but only eight of Cartagines’ 24 points have been won away from home and they have lost five of their last seven trips, while Liberia have won their last three home league games.

Emelec have taken seven points from four home games this season and should have the beating of Guayaquil City, who have lost three of their four trips away and have only scored twice in the process.
