Football Betting Tips

Alex Wrigley: Fifth-place Como have had a fantastic season, but their form has dropped off a cliff over the past month or so. I Lariani have drawn one and lost three of their last four games, while Sunday’s hosts have won four of their last six ties and three of their last four at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Phil Agius: Rennes are finishing the Ligue 1 season with a flourish, winning seven of their last nine games. They have had a full week off since beating Strasbourg 3-0 away last Sunday, which was the fourth of those recent wins to be achieved without conceding a goal. Meanwhile, Nantes have won only one of their last 13 league games, failing to score in three of their last four defeats.

Henry Hardwicke: The Jambos have taken only one point from their last four away league matches. Those results do not inspire confidence when Derek McInnes’ men head for Leith and Hibs have lost only four of their last 16 Scottish top-flight games.

Gareth Freeman: Sevilla went down 2-0 at Levante in midweek as they slipped to a fourth defeat in their last five games. Osasuna could still sneak into the European spots and the reason they are still in contention is their strong home form. The Pamplona outfit are unbeaten in nine at home, with five wins.

Aaron Rogan: Spanish second-tier leaders Racing Santander have won three of their last four, and they can make it 10 away wins for the campaign at out-of-sorts Cueta. The hosts are rooted in midtable after winning once in eight. Cueta have lost all three previous clashes with the top two, scoring in each defeat. Racing have conceded in nine straight, and in each of their last seven on the road.

Strasbourg’s last three matches and four of their last five away games have produced over 2.5 goals, with nine of 14 away fixtures also clearing that line. Lorient have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of 11 games, while both sides show consistent scoring output.

Rennes’ matches regularly produce high totals, with 15 of their 30 games and six of 15 at home going over 3.5 goals. They have scored at least twice in four of their last six, while Nantes have conceded 49 goals this season, highlighting defensive issues on both sides.

Inter’s matches have been high-scoring, with three or more goals in their last three games and no team having more matches over 3.5 goals this season. Torino’s home fixtures also support this, with four or more goals in four of their 16 games, alongside defensive issues on both sides.

Real Sociedad have found the net at least twice in four of their last six Primera Liga games and the best bet may well be that both teams score when they visit Rayo Vallecano at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas on Sunday. Rayo won 1-0 last time they met Real Sociedad in the league but both sides scored in five of the previous seven.

Both teams to score is the best bet when Stuttgart host Werder Bremen at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on Sunday. Both sides have found the net in Werder Bremen’s last three Bundesliga matches and they have scored in seven of their last eight.

Chelsea’s attacking issues should ease under Calum McFarlane, who oversaw a 1-1 draw at Man City in January, with the Blues creating 1.85 xG and three big chances in that game. Leeds have scored twice or more in their last four games, with their only clean sheet in that run coming against a relegated Wolves side.

No Premiership team has found the net in more games this season than Rangers, and both teams have scored in eight of their last nine matches. That looks the best bet when they host Motherwell at Ibrox on Sunday.

Freiburg have scored at least twice in four of their last six games and found the net in each of their last four. Dortmund have hit three or more goals in ten matches this season, while both teams have scored in eight of the last ten meetings.

Inter’s matches have been high-scoring, with three or more goals in their last three games and no team having more matches over 3.5 goals this season. Torino’s home fixtures also support this, with four or more goals in four of their 16 games, alongside defensive issues on both sides.

Braga have won three of their last four league games to stay on course for a top-four finish. They head to Santa Clara, who are winless in three. The hosts have lost seven of their eight meetings with the top five, so side with Braga to pick up a ninth away win of the campaign.

Nice beat Strasbourg in the cup in midweek, but they lost the xG battle in that victory. Marseille head into this clash having failed to keep a clean sheet in four Ligue 1 games, but they’ve won three of their last four at the Velodrome.

Spanish second-tier leaders Racing Santander have won three of their last four, and they can make it 10 away wins for the campaign at out-of-sorts Cueta. The hosts are rooted in midtable after winning once in eight. Cueta have lost all three previous clashes with the top two, scoring in each defeat. Racing have conceded in nine straight, and in each of their last seven on the road.

AVS have improved since their relegation was confirmed, drawing back-to-back games against Guimaraes and Rio Ave. They scored three goals across those stalemates and can trouble Sporting, who have seen both teams score in eight of their last ten Primeira Liga away games.

AC Milan have slipped up in the last few weeks of the Serie A title race and they look set to be overtaken by Juventus, who have won five of their last six league games.

Nice beat Strasbourg in the cup in midweek, but they lost the xG battle in that victory. Marseille head into this clash having failed to keep a clean sheet in four Ligue 1 games, but they’ve won three of their last four at the Velodrome.

Villarreal have been one of the best home teams in La Liga this season, winning 12 of their 15 matches in their own back yard, and they should be able to extend that run against a Celta Vigo side who have lost five of their last six.

Las Palmas are still chasing promotion from the Segunda Division and have won three of their last four. They should pick up another three points against Cadiz, who are only three points above the relegation zone and have lost 13 of their last 15, including seven on the spin at home.

Udinese have lost five of their eight visits to sides above them and Lazio have won four of their last six in Serie A. They have only kept two home clean sheets against sides outside the bottom five, though, so they may concede.

Espanyol are winless in 15 matches, and they’re worth opposing against a Levante side that have won three of their last four. The visitors have claimed the third-most points in La Liga across their last eight games, while Espanyol have lost four of their last five matches.

Manchester United have an eight-point cushion inside the Premier League top five and have won five of their last six home games. Brentford still have plenty to play for, but they are winless in their last six games, although they should find the net against a home side with only two clean sheets in their last six at Old Trafford.

European qualification is still a possibility for Gil Vicente, and they can bolster their chances against a relegation threatened Casa Pia side winless in eight. The visitors have taken just two points from the last 21 available on their travels, while Gil Vicente have won three of their last seven at home.

Municipal Liberia are on a four-game winning streak in the Costa Rica Primera Liga and are unbeaten in their last nine league fixtures. Favourites Alajuelense have only won two of their last five and have lost three of their last five on the road in the league.

Puntarenas have scored six and conceded 10 goals across their last three fixtures, with both teams to score landing in each of them, while Deportivo Saprissa have seen goals at both ends in each of their last five away days.

Athletico PR have won 15 of their 19 Brazil Serie A points on home soil and have won their last four home league games, while Vitoria have managed just two draws and three defeats from their five away days.

Atletico Tucuman are unbeaten in four home games and have won two of those, and they should have the beating of a Banfield side on a six-game losing streak away from home.

Udinese have lost five of eight visits to sides above them, and they should struggle to contain a Lazio side which picked up a fourth win in six league games with a 2-0 win at Napoli last weekend. The hosts have netted 19 goals across nine home meetings with sides below them in the table, scoring at least twice on seven occasions.

Espanyol are winless in 15 matches, and they’re worth opposing against a Levante side that have won three of their last four. The visitors have claimed the third-most points in La Liga across their last eight games, while Espanyol have lost four of their last five matches.

These sides have nothing to play for heading into the final few games of the season and a drab affair is expected. Just two goals have been scored in Boulogne’s last five Ligue 2 ties and under 2.5 goals has landed in four of Dunkerque’s last six.

Udinese have lost five of eight visits to sides above them, and they should struggle to contain a Lazio side which picked up a fourth win in six league games with a 2-0 win at Napoli last weekend. The hosts have netted 19 goals across nine home meetings with sides below them in the table, scoring at least twice on seven occasions.

Brentford still have plenty to play for, but they are winless in their last six games, although they should find the net against a home side with only two clean sheets in their last six at Old Trafford.

Casemiro also looks a high-value option to get on the scoresheet. The Brazilian midfielder is enjoying the most prolific season of his storied career and has scored in three of his last five appearances for the club.

Espanyol are winless in their last six home games, with their previous four seeing both teams score. That includes draws with Celta Vigo and bottom side Real Oviedo, so back Levante to secure a 1-1 draw after conceding in their previous five away trips.

Manchester United may be in good form at home, but they have conceded in six of their last eight home games and are unlikely to shut out Brentford. The Red Devils have scored exactly twice in three of their last six at Old Trafford.

Harry Kane failed to score when these sides met earlier this season, but that is just one of nine times the England captain has not hit the net after starting for Bayern Munich this season. He has netted in 14 of his last 15 games for club and country, totalling 19 goals in this period and 53 for the club this term.

Both teams found the net in both legs of Braga’s quarter-final win over Real Betis and their last three fixtures have seen them score seven and concede four. Freiburg notched three times in both legs of their last Europa League tie and both teams have scored in their last three fixtures.

Crystal Palace have failed to win their last three UEFA Conference League away games and they have only won twice in their last 13 games away from Selhurst Park. Shakhtar, playing their home games in Krakow, beat AZ 5-2 on aggregate in the last round and could pull off an upset.

Neither of these sides are safe from the drop in La Liga, but Girona are putting up a good fight and can distance themselves from the relegation battle. They have won three of their last five at home and are justified favourites to beat a Mallorca side winless on the road since December, losing seven of their 10 trips since.

Burnley’s relegation was confirmed last week and they may struggle to find motivation at Elland Road. They have taken just two points from their last eight games and face a Leeds side battling for their own survival and unbeaten in five top-flight games.

Villarreal look good value for a return to the Champions League and they can take another step towards that goal against the relegation-threatened Levante. The visitors have taken one point from the last 15 available on their travels, while the Yellow Submarine have won four successive games at Estadio de la Ceramica.

There is a minuscule chance of Barrow avoiding relegation on the final day of the League Two season, but they can at least sign off with a third home win in their last five games against Newport, who have nothing to play for. The Exiles, who are safe from the drop, have lost three on the spin away from home.

Plymouth need a win to stand any chance of making the League One play-offs and should fill their boots against the relegated Northampton, but the bottom-placed have scored in six of their last seven and should end a miserable season with at least a goal against a Pilgrims side that have seen goals at both ends in their last four assignments.

Monaco may be short to claim the points at Metz, but their hosts are rock bottom of Ligue 1 and have claimed just 10 points from 15 home games. They have lost seven of their last nine at home, drawing the other two, and Champions League hopefuls have won three of their last four Ligue 1 away days.

Tottenham picked up a much-needed win at 20th-place Wolves last weekend, but top-five hopefuls Aston Villa represent a very different challenge. Unai Emery’s side have won four of their last five at Villa Park, while the torrid Spurs have lost four of their last six away from home and each of their last two trips to this ground.
