Villarreal look a strong bet to continue their excellent away form at struggling Levante. The visitors have won their last three league road trips and sit comfortably inside the top three, while Levante are rock-bottom and have lost five straight home games. Villarreal’s consistency, especially when scoring first, makes them hard to oppose here.

Stuttgart look the right side away at Werder Bremen. They sit higher in the table, have picked up more points, and their back line is marginally more reliable than Bremen’s leaky defence. Werder have struggled to keep clean sheets both home and away, and Stuttgart’s ability to grind out narrow victories makes them a solid away bet here.

Bologna sit fifth in Serie A, two places above Juventus, and have scored at least twice in eight of 14 league games. They have found the net in ten of their last 11 matches and conceded just four goals in six home games. Juventus have gone six away games without a clean sheet.
