Champions League Tips

Sevilla are backed to beat Osasuna at home. Sevilla have won four and lost six of their 11 games, while Osasuna are 15th with three wins and six defeats. Osasuna are without a win in three league games and have not won any of their last nine away matches.

Marseille have scored three or more goals in four of their 11 Ligue 1 games, with eight of their last nine home matches seeing over 3.5 goals. Brest have conceded 18 goals in 11 games, while Marseille have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last six league matches, indicating a high-scoring game.

Chelsea put four past Wolves in the League Cup last month and have scored three or more goals in each of their last four meetings with the struggling side. Wolves have conceded 12 goals in their last four matches and harbour the Premier League’s worst defensive record.

Atletico Madrid have won four of their last five and are unbeaten at home this season, but they have conceded in five of their eight home fixtures and face a Levante side that have scored in six of their seven away matches.

Huddersfield are on a poor run, losing four of their last six League One matches and failing to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight. Plymouth have four wins this season and the hosts continue to struggle.

Premier League leaders Arsenal are on a 10-game winning run across all competitions and they should be able to make it 11 in a row at Sunderland, but the Black Cats are in fine form themselves and can at least get on the scoresheet against the division’s stingiest backline. Sunderland are yet to draw a blank at home in any competition and have scored nine across their five Premier League games at the Stadium of Light, while Arsenal have conceded in 40% of their away games so backing both teams to score looks a decent value play here.

Wrexham look good value to topple sixth-placed Charlton and continue their solid home form. The hosts have lost just once in their last six league games at the Racecourse and remain tough to break down. With Charlton failing to keep a clean sheet in five of their last seven, Wrexham’s attacking output could be enough for a statement win.

Both teams have scored in four of Torino’s last six games and they are facing a Juve side who have only kept one clean sheet in their last 12 outings so both teams to score is the selection in this one.

Monchengladbach should be backed to beat Cologne at Borussia-Park. They are 16th in the table with one win, three draws and five defeats from nine games, while Cologne are seventh with four wins, two draws and three defeats. Despite the gap, Monchengladbach are tipped to get the victory in this Rhine derby matchup.

Zwolle have won only one of their opening five home league matches this term and they have shipped ten goals in the process. Sparta Rotterdam, who have been pretty good on the road this season, can collect another three points.

Everton have been fairly solid at home this season with eight points from five games. The Merseyside outfit claimed a point at Sunderland last time out and can make home advantage count against Fulham, who have the joint-worst away record in the league with just one point from five trips. However, the Toffees have gone seven games without a clean sheet in all competitions, and Fulham have a good scoring record on the road despite their results. The Cottagers have only failed to score in one of their six trips across all competitions, netting exactly once in all five of those games.

Elche has lost three of its last four matches while Real Sociedad have won three in a row, so back the visitors to win with both teams on the scoresheet because there have been goals at both ends in four of Elche’s last six league matches and in Real Sociedad’s previous three matches.

The struggling hosts have won once all season, but they’ve scored in back-to-back defeats. Sporting have kept only one clean sheet on their travels, with BTTS landing in their previous three on the road.

Bari have conceded at least twice in each of their away trips this term, while they visit a Spezia side who have shipped 10 goals in six home matches. The visitors have scored in each of their last six starts, so back a high-scoring clash between the pair.

Vicarage Road has been a fortress for Watford this season. The Hornets have the second best home record in the league and have won their last four at this venue, they should be able to claim three points against a Bristol City side who have lost back-to-back games.

The last three meetings between these sides have all seen goals at both ends and with both teams likely to see this as a winnable fixture, expect an open contest with chances for each.

Neither side has impressed in the early going, but the Magic will be amped up to get a result in this NBA Cup game. The duo of Banchero and Wagner will be too much to handle for the Celtics. Orlando allows the fewest attempts from three in the entire NBA. With the Cs relying heavily on the deep ball to score points, this could be a struggle for them.

The Wizards lost by 29-points to a weakened Boston side in their last game. Cleveland bounced back from a defeat in their NBA Cup opener by claiming wins over Philadelphia and Atlanta. They should have an easier time against this poor Wizards side. Point differential is a tie-breaker in the NBA Cup, so the Cavs have plenty of motivation to win big and cover this line.

The Spurs have suffered back-to-back defeats against the Suns and Lakers, while they meet a Houston team who have won five on the spin. The Rockets have the tallest starting five in the NBA, so back them to nullify the Spurs and secure a victory.

The Raptors thumped Atlanta on the road in their opener, before losing a string of games due to defensive issues. They’ve addressed those issues and have put together a three-game winning run, while Toronto has a shot at a first truly competitive NBA Cup campaign.

The Bulls are 6-1, while they beat the Knicks to make a winning start in the NBA Cup. The Bucks have lost two of their last three games, including a 28-point thumping against the Raptors. Back a buoyant Bulls side with the points.

The Thunder lost their first game of the season last time out, while key defender Lou Dort remains a doubt after missing that game. The Kings have won two of their last three, losing a competitive clash with the Nuggets in the other, so back them to keep within 10 points of the Thunder after narrowly losing when the pair met in OKC.

Claxton has scored at least 18 points in each of his last four appearances. With the Nets low on talent, he’s likely to be a key part of their offensive game plan going forward, so back him to continue his fine run.

After some defensive struggles limited his minutes, Dick has got back into the mix as the Raptors’ fortunes have turned. He scored eight points in a win over Memphis, before recording 14 against the Bucks. He has averaged 12.0 points per game against the Hawks in his career, while he scored a season-high 21 points in his last visit to Atlanta.

The Spurs have suffered back-to-back defeats against the Suns and Lakers, while they meet a Houston team who have won five on the spin. The Rockets have the tallest starting five in the NBA, so back them to nullify the Spurs and secure a victory.

The NFL’s International Series heads to Berlin in Week 10 for a matchup between the struggling Atlanta Falcons (3-5) and the surprising Indianapolis Colts (7-2). Indianapolis was brought back down to earth last week with a 27-20 loss at Pittsburgh, as quarterback Daniel Jones threw three interceptions and was sacked five times. Despite their record, the Colts may be overvalued as 6.5-point favorites against a Falcons team that typically keeps games close. Atlanta’s defense has been a bright spot, ranking fourth overall and first against the pass, allowing fewer than 200 passing yards per game, and should be strong enough to help the Falcons keep this one within a touchdown.

Both the Ravens and Vikings are riding momentum following impressive road wins last week. Baltimore is beginning to turn its season around behind a healthy Lamar Jackson, who threw 4 touchdown passes in last week’s rout of Miami, while the defense has tightened up after a rough start. Minnesota stunned Detroit as big underdogs, with rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy delivering 2 scores in his first start since Week 2. Despite Minnesota’s confidence boost, Baltimore’s improving defense and Jackson’s dominance against NFC teams give the Ravens greater value to continue their resurgence.

The Panthers and Saints face off in an NFC South clash on Sunday, with Carolina entering this one with a surprise 5-4 record, while the Saints are floundering at 1-8. New Orleans has been one of the league’s worst teams, with their lone win coming thanks to five turnovers by the Giants, and they’ve lost their last two games by a combined 57-13 score. Rookie QB Tyler Shough struggled badly in his first start during a 34-10 loss to the Rams, while first-year head coach Kellen Moore’s team hasn’t kept a game within 12 points since Week 6. Carolina, winners of 4 of their last 5 and fresh off a big road win in Green Bay, looks poised to continue their hot form and move to 6-4.

A pair of division leaders clash at Raymond James Stadium as the 6-2 Buccaneers host the 7-2 Patriots. New England has been in hot form following a slow start, winning 6 straight and covering the spread in 5 of those. QB Drake Maye has supplied the Pats with steady play and a 4-0 road record. Tampa Bay rebounded from a loss to Detroit with a dominant defensive outing against the Saints before their bye week but they remain banged up, with top receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin continuing to miss time. Given the Bucs’ injury concerns and the Patriots’ momentum, New England looks capable of keeping this one within a field goal, and possibly even winning outright.

The Chargers notched their 2nd straight win to move to 6-3 on the season, relying on another stellar performance from Justin Herbert despite a lackluster rushing attack and mounting offensive line injuries. The loss of star left tackle Joe Alt to a season-ending ankle injury is likely to have a major impact, especially with right tackle Bobby Hart also banged up. On the other side, the Steelers delivered their most dominant defensive effort of the season in Week 9, forcing 6 turnovers and racking up 5 sacks in a vintage Mike Tomlin performance as they beat the rampant Colts. While Aaron Rodgers and the offense remain inconsistent, Pittsburgh’s defense gives them a strong chance to at least stay within a field goal of LA.

The Packers have suffered surprising home losses to both the Browns and Panthers this season, and the Eagles look poised to deliver another defeat to Green Bay at Lambeau Field. Defensive inconsistency continues to plague the Packers, as Micah Parsons was largely invisible in Week 9 despite the unit holding the Panthers to modest yardage. Now, they face a massive test against a rested and reloaded Eagles team fresh off a bye week. Given Nick Sirianni’s perfect post-bye record and Philadelphia’s strong recent form, they hold great value in this spot as slight underdogs.

Second-bottom Telstar have lost four of their five trips, while Twente have scored at least twice in each of their wins this term. However, the hosts haven’t kept a clean sheet in their 11 matches, while over 2.5 has landed in six of their last seven Eredivisie outings.
