Football Betting Tips

Seven straight league wins mean Monaco are the most in-form team in Europe’s top five leagues and they can maintain their impressive run in the capital. The Monegasques sensational sequence includes victories over PSG, Marseille and Lyon, so it is hard to see mid-table Paris FC coping with Sebastien Pocognoli’s men.

Augsburg have lost 14 Bundesliga games this season, only the bottom three have suffered more defeats, and they may be set for another against a Hoffenheim side who have won seven away games already this term.

It’s second against fourth in Italy’s second tier, and visitors Palermo have failed to win a game against a side in the top eight so far. Frosinone can move level with leaders Venezia with a victory, and they’re in fantastic scoring form, netting at least twice in their previous 10 games.

Swindon are firmly in the mix for promotion in League Two and they look likely winners in this clash with Colchester. The visitors are unbeaten in five away games, recording three wins during that period, while Colchester have won only one of their last six and have nothing at stake.

Marseille lost back-to-back games before the international break but those defeats came against Lille and rivals Monaco, so they can expect to find things easier when hosting basement boys Metz. The visitors have failed to score in seven of their last nine matches, so it’s a question of how many the hosts can score. Marseille have netted 15 goals in their last seven home matches, so they can clear a -1 handicap.

Real Madrid should have too much for Girona in a high-scoring clash at the Bernabeu. Both teams have scored in Los Blancos’ last five games and a repeat of that is fancied as the hosts may have one eye on next week’s second leg against Bayern Munich but should have enough to get the win.

Seven of Hoffenheim’s last nine games have gone over 2.5 goals and Augsburg have one of the worst defensive records in the division. However, Augsburg have netted in six of their last seven matches, and Hoffenheim ship 1.71 goals per away trip, so goals appeal here.

It’s second against fourth in Italy’s second tier, and visitors Palermo have failed to win a game against a side in the top eight so far. Frosinone can move level with leaders Venezia with a victory, and they’re in fantastic scoring form, netting at least twice in their previous 10 games.

Galway United have won three of their last four games in high-scoring fashion, as they’ve scored nine and conceded eight across that run. Shelbourne are aiming to bounce back from consecutive 3-2 defeats, so expect an open encounter in this clash.

Moreirense have lost nine of their 10 clashes with the top six this season, shipping at least two goals in eight of those defeats. The visitors have shipped 14 goals across six visits to their fellow top-half sides. They head to fifth-placed Famalicao, who have built their European push on fine home form, scoring 21 goals across 11 meetings with sides below them.

Marseille lost back-to-back games before the international break but those defeats came against Lille and rivals Monaco, so they can expect to find things easier when hosting basement boys Metz. The visitors have failed to score in seven of their last nine matches and look set for another disappointing outing.

Pisa have lost five of their last eight games without scoring and they are yet to win on the road this season, despite Roma’s struggles they should be able to shut out these strugglers and record a win to nil.

Drogheda are winless in eight after a 3-2 home defeat to Galway United, and they meet a Waterford side who are without a victory this season. The hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last seven, with BTTS landing in three of their previous four. Despite their struggles, Drogheda have found the net in all five of their away trips this season, keeping only one clean sheet.

Both teams have scored in Los Blancos’ last five games and a repeat of that is fancied as the hosts may have one eye on next week’s second leg against Bayern Munich.

Wolves are on a four-game scoring streak and both teams have scored in each of their last three games. West Ham have only failed to score in one of their last six games and they have kept just one clean sheet themselves during that period.

Real Madrid should have too much for Girona in a high-scoring clash at the Bernabeu. Both teams have scored in Los Blancos’ last five games and a repeat of that is fancied as the hosts may have one eye on next week’s second leg against Bayern Munich but should have enough to get the win.

Millwall have taken the most points on the road of any team in the Championship this season, and they’ll be eager to get their promotion hopes back on track after falling to a defeat to Norwich on Monday.

Wolves are on a four-game scoring streak and both teams have scored in each of their last three games. West Ham have only failed to score in one of their last six games and they have kept just one clean sheet themselves during that period.

Moreirense have lost nine of their 10 clashes with the top six this season, shipping at least two goals in eight of those defeats. The visitors have shipped 14 goals across six visits to their fellow top-half sides. They head to fifth-placed Famalicao, who have built their European push on fine home form, scoring 21 goals across 11 meetings with sides below them.

With Metz failing to find the net in five of their last six games, a Marseille clean sheet seems likely. It then becomes a question of how many can the hosts score and given they have netted 15 goals in their last seven home matches, three seems a probable tally for OM.

Six of Real Madrid’s last ten games have ended 2-1 and a repeat of that scoreline is the selection against a Girona team who have taken just 15 points from their 15 away games in La Liga this season.

Real Madrid should have too much for Girona in a high-scoring clash at the Bernabeu. Both teams have scored in Los Blancos’ last five games and a repeat of that is fancied as the hosts may have one eye on next week’s second leg against Bayern Munich but should have enough to get the win.

Adam Armstrong opened his account for Wolves in the 2-2 draw with Brentford last time out, having recorded two assists in his first six appearances in the league since his January arrival. That strike should provide a bit of a confidence boost and he can follow that up with a goal at West Ham.

Moreirense have lost nine of their 10 clashes with the top six this season, shipping at least two goals in eight of those defeats. The visitors have shipped 14 goals across six visits to their fellow top-half sides.

Aberdeen are in dire form with no wins across their last nine league games, and they’ve suffered 12 defeats from their 14 clashes with sides placed fifth or higher, including home and away losses to Hibs.

Barnet have created the second-highest Expected Goals in League Two this term, and they’re fresh from a 5-2 victory at Fleetwood. Over 2.5 goals has landed in three of the hosts’ last four, and they’re capable of impressing against second-bottom Barrow, who have lost 5-0 at Grimsby and 3-1 at Salford in the last month.

Everton are in form with three wins in their last four games and four victories in their last six away from home. The visitors are backable underdogs to see off Brentford, who are on a four-game winless run at home (D2, L2).

Celtic need to keep the pressure up on Rangers and Hearts while St Mirren are riding high after back-to-back wins in the relegation battle. Both teams have scored in four of Celtic’s last five games, and they’ve conceded in each of their last five victories.

Reading have struggled for consistency in recent weeks but they can revive their playoff push by defeating Doncaster at the Eco-Power Stadium. The Royals lost 2-1 at home to Lincoln on Monday, but they face a step down in class against 17th-placed Rovers, who have suffered successive defeats.

Harrogate have shown improvement in recent months and they can register a vital victory over fellow strugglers Newport at Rodney Parade. Simon Weaver’s side triumphed 3-1 at Grimsby last Friday and are ready to prevail over Newport, who have suffered back-to-back defeats.

Oldham are ninth, 21 points above Shrewsbury, and have won 17 games compared to the hosts’ 12. They have won four of their last six away matches and scored in 12 of their last 13 games. Shrewsbury are struggling, losing six of their last eight and three of their last four at home.

Stoke have enjoyed two straight Championship successes at home and they should be backed to beat Blackburn on Saturday.

Fulham have only lost one of the last five meetings between these two teams and they could at least avoid defeat against a Liverpool side whose confidence will be rock bottom after losing five of their last eight games. They may have one eye on the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against PSG and could fail to win again.

No team has scored in more of their Eredivisie games than PSV this season, and there have been four or more goals in 16 of their 29 league matches, including their 4-3 victory over Utrecht last time out. Sparta have seen 18 goals scored in four home clashes with the top five, while they lost the reverse fixture 6-1.

Both teams have scored with over 2.5 goals in Sevilla’s last two games against top-five clubs and also in five of Atletico Madrid’s last seven matches. Sevilla should see this as a chance to take points against a weakened Atleti side but their defensive issues could also betray them.

Melbourne Victory have lost their two visits to the top three this season, and they’ve been beaten in five of 11 away trips overall. Second-placed Auckland are good at home and they can claim maximum points once again.

10 of Adelaide United’s 11 away trips have seen both teams score, including all three of their defeats. The visitors have won once in five matches, with BTTS landing in each of those. The hosts have won 14 of their 23 games this term, including a 3-2 win at Adelaide when these two last met.

Bottom side Western Sydney Wanderers have the third-best xG record in the A-League, and they can beat Sydney FC at home for the second time this term. The visitors are winless in four, and they head to a side that has only lost one home meeting with teams outside the top three.

10 of Adelaide United’s 11 away trips have seen both teams score, including all three of their defeats. The visitors have won once in five matches, with BTTS landing in each of those. The hosts have won 14 of their 23 games this term, including a 3-2 win at Adelaide when these two last met.

Arsenal have won their last seven home games and four of those wins have come by two or more goals. Bournemouth are unbeaten since the reverse fixture back in January but goals have been an issue for the visitors and they’ve failed to score in back-to-back trips. Arsenal are unlikely to blow the Cherries away but if they are able to keep a clean sheet they should be able to cover a -1 handicap.

Everton are in form with three wins in their last four games and four victories in their last six away from home. The visitors are backable underdogs to see off Brentford, who are on a four-game winless run at home (D2, L2).

Burnley have won just twice at Turf Moor in this season’s Premier League and they look unlikely to avoid defeat against Brighton, who have claimed a full return from their last two trips to Sunderland and Brentford.

Fulham have only lost one of the last five meetings between these two teams and they could at least avoid defeat against a Liverpool side whose confidence will be rock bottom after losing five of their last eight games. They may have one eye on the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against PSG and could fail to win again.

Kai Havertz scored at Sporting on Tuesday after coming off the bench with 20 minutes to play and he could come into the starting side on Saturday. The German forward is yet to score in the league having managed just six outings in an injury-hit season but he can get off the mark on Saturday. Havertz has two goals and an assist in his last three games for club and country and looks to be hitting some form at the perfect time for Arsenal.

Beto scored two of Everton’s goals in the win over Chelsea last time out and now has three goals in his last four games. The 28-year-old looks a solid contender for an anytime effort on Saturday.

Danny Welbeck took his seasonal league tally to 12 with a brace in their 2-1 win over Liverpool and the veteran can show his class again by notching against the strugglers.

With Alexander Isak still working his way back from injury, Hugo Ekitike is likely to lead the line again for Liverpool and he could get on the scoresheet for what would be the 18th time in all competitions this season.

Coventry have scored three goals or more in 14 of their 41 Championship games this season, and no team has more goals than their 84. The best bet may well be that both teams score when they host Sheffield Wednesday at the CBS Arena on Saturday. Both teams are struggling defensively, with Coventry failing to keep a clean sheet in three of their last four games against Sheffield Wednesday, and the visitors having the worst defensive record in the Championship this season.

Lincoln won promotion after just 41 games but they are equally determined to finish top of the pile and can stay on track by defeating Leyton Orient at Sincil Bank. The Imps are unbeaten in 2026 and should have too much quality for injury-hit Orient, who are just four points above the drop zone.

MK Dons have gone through a dip in results but they remain in second place and can show their quality by defeating leaders Bromley. The visit to Buckinghamshire could be a tough assignment for Bromley, who are winless on their last two road trips.

Norwich have won seven of their last nine home games while Ipswich have lost three of their last seven away matches. Norwich have also won six and drawn four of the last 10 derbies at Carrow Road.

Consistency has been Torino’s biggest adversary this season but they have finally found some rhythm at home, where they have won three of their last four games. Another Turin triumph is on the cards against second-bottom Verona, who have lost their last three games without scoring.

Borussia Dortmund are second, 15 points above sixth-placed Leverkusen, with 19 wins compared to 14. They have won nine of their last 11 home games and scored heavily, averaging 2.40 goals against top-half sides at home. Leverkusen have defensive issues, failing to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last ten matches.

Aberdeen are in dire form with no wins across their last nine league games, and they’ve suffered 12 defeats from their 14 clashes with sides placed fifth or higher, including home and away losses to Hibs.

Everton are in form with three wins in their last four games and four victories in their last six away from home. The visitors are backable underdogs to see off Brentford, who are on a four-game winless run at home (D2, L2).

Burton have been doing just enough to stay out of the relegation zone and they can take a big step towards survival by defeating AFC Wimbledon at the Pirelli Stadium. The Brewers have won eight home league games and should prevail over Wimbledon, who are likely to be missing several injured players.

Cambridge United are unbeaten in their last 16 home league games and boast the best defensive record in League Two, conceding just 31 goals in 41 matches. Notts County have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last nine games, while 58% of top-six clashes have been home wins.

Middlesbrough should be backed to get a home win over Portsmouth on Saturday. The visitors are out of form, with Portsmouth now without a win in eight Championship games. They have not tasted victory in any of their last four away matches.

Relegation is looming for AVS in the Primeira Liga, and their misery should be extended by Vitoria Guimaraes. The hosts have failed to score in five of their last six home league games and look unlikely to offer much resistance.

Utrecht’s seven-match unbeaten run in the Dutch top flight was ended by a late winner by PSV last time out, but they should be confident they can bounce back against Telstar, who have lost seven of 14 away trips this season.

Rennes have won five of their last seven league games while Angers have taken just one point from their last three matches. Rennes should improve defensively with the return of right-back Przemyslaw Frankowski and centre-back Anthony Rouault from suspension this week. They have kept four clean sheets in their last five games with this duo and can shut out a weak Angers attack that has scored once across the last three games.

Leipzig have scored two or more goals in 16 of 28 matches, while Monchengladbach have found the net in eight of their last nine. Both teams have scored in four of the visitors’ last six games, and defensive issues persist, with Leipzig without a clean sheet in six of eight home matches.

Both teams have scored in nine of the last 11 meetings and in four of the last six at Bloomfield Road. Peterborough have netted in 12 of their last 14 games, while Blackpool have conceded 64 goals this season and failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 of their last 13 against Peterborough.

Both teams to score has landed in a number of Watford’s latest outings and that looks the best bet when they visit Oxford at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday. Six of Watford’s last seven Championship games have ended with both sides scoring and BTTS had come in by half time when they last clashed with Oxford in October.

Both teams have scored in four of Barcelona’s last six matches and also in nine of Espanyol’s last 10 games. The Parakeets created three big chances and an xG of 1.6 in their 2-0 home loss to Barca in January, so should carve out some chances if they follow a similar blueprint while Barca have failed to score only three times this term.

Both teams have scored in eight of Atalanta’s last 10 games and also in six of Juventus’ last 10 games. And with so much riding on the result, neither team is likely to sit back.

Barnet have created the second-highest Expected Goals in League Two this term, and they’re fresh from a 5-2 victory at Fleetwood. Over 2.5 goals has landed in three of the hosts’ last four, and they’re capable of impressing against second-bottom Barrow, who have lost 5-0 at Grimsby and 3-1 at Salford in the last month.

Livingston have improved under Marvin Bartley and they could get on the scoresheet when they take on Dundee United. Five of the last seven head-to-heads have seen both teams find the net, and Livi held Hearts to a 2-2 draw last time out. 

AC Milan have kept only two clean sheets in their last eight games while Udinese have scored in five of their last six away matches, including multiple goals in four. The visitors are more likely to score with top marksman Keinan Davis back from suspension this weekend.

No team has scored in more of their Eredivisie games than PSV this season, and there have been four or more goals in 16 of their 29 league matches, including their 4-3 victory over Utrecht last time out. Sparta have seen 18 goals scored in four home clashes with the top five, while they lost the reverse fixture 6-1.

Both teams have scored with over 2.5 goals in Sevilla’s last two games against top-five clubs and also in five of Atletico Madrid’s last seven matches. Sevilla should see this as a chance to take points against a weakened Atleti side but their defensive issues could also betray them.

Celtic need to keep the pressure up on Rangers and Hearts while St Mirren are riding high after back-to-back wins in the relegation battle. Both teams have scored in four of Celtic’s last five games, and they’ve conceded in each of their last five victories.

Both teams have scored in four of Barcelona’s last six matches and also in nine of Espanyol’s last 10 games. The Parakeets created three big chances and an xG of 1.6 in their 2-0 home loss to Barca in January, so should carve out some chances if they follow a similar blueprint. However, the league leaders should improve as they aim to bounce back from their Champions League defeat.

Sporting may have one eye on Wednesday’s Champions League second leg trip to Arsenal, which could allow Estrela to get on the scoresheet. Sporting have conceded in their last three league games, but they’ve got a 100% record in meetings with teams outside the top six this season.

Burnley have won just twice at Turf Moor in this season’s Premier League and they look unlikely to avoid defeat against Brighton, who have claimed a full return from their last two trips to Sunderland and Brentford.

Burton have been doing just enough to stay out of the relegation zone and they can take a big step towards survival by defeating AFC Wimbledon at the Pirelli Stadium. The Brewers have won eight home league games and should prevail over Wimbledon, who are likely to be missing several injured players.

Salford are sixth, 24 points above Gillingham, with 23 wins compared to the visitors’ 12. They have won their last five home games and six of their last eight overall. Gillingham are out of form, with one win in eight and five defeats in their last seven away matches.

Southampton look set to beat Derby at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday. The visitors have lost four of their last five away games in the Championship, and Southampton are in good form.

Both teams have scored in the last two meetings and a repeat is fancied on Saturday, as the Bees have scored 26 goals in 15 home league fixtures and Everton have conceded in each of their last four away games. A 2-1 away win has a chance as six of Everton’s seven road wins in the league have been by one-goal margins.

Meetings between these two teams have had a tendency to be high-scoring affairs, with five of the last six going over 2.5 goals, and a repeat of that could be on the cards given Liverpool’s poor defensive record. Side with a 2-2 draw.

Burnley have won just twice at Turf Moor in this season’s Premier League and they look unlikely to avoid defeat against Brighton, who have claimed a full return from their last two trips to Sunderland and Brentford.

Keinan Davis has scored four goals in his last six appearances for Udinese and returns from suspension this weekend.

With Alexander Isak still working his way back from injury, Hugo Ekitike is likely to lead the line again for Liverpool and he could get on the scoresheet for what would be the 18th time in all competitions this season.

Alexander Sorloth scored off the bench on Wednesday and has 10 La Liga goals this term. He looks set to start in a much-changed line-up ahead of the Champions League QF.

Former Angers striker Esteban Lepaul has scored seven goals in his last eight appearances for Rennes. He is currently Ligue 1’s leading marksman with 15 from 26 games.

Both teams have scored in eight of Atalanta’s last 10 games and also in six of Juventus’ last 10 games. And with so much riding on the result, neither team is likely to sit back.

Both teams have scored with over 2.5 goals in Sevilla’s last two games against top-five clubs and also in five of Atletico Madrid’s last seven matches. Sevilla should see this as a chance to take points against a weakened Atleti side but their defensive issues could also betray them.

Rennes have won five of their last seven league games while Angers have taken just one point from their last three matches. Rennes have covered a -1 handicap in three of their last seven games.

Sporting may have one eye on Wednesday’s Champions League second leg trip to Arsenal, which could allow Estrela to get on the scoresheet. Sporting have conceded in their last three league games, but they’ve got a 100% record in meetings with teams outside the top six this season.
