Koln are on a seven-game winless run and now looks a bad time for the Billy Goats to come up against Bayern. The Bavarians have scored 12 goals and conceded just one across their last two games and have scored multiple goals in each of their last seven games (W6, D1). Bayern won 4-1 at this venue in the DfB Pokal earlier in the season and look capable of covering a -2 handicap on Wednesday.

Celtic claimed a 4-0 win over Dundee United in Martin O’Neill’s second first game back in charge at the weekend and they can follow that up by beating Falkirk on Wednesday. The hosts can get on the scoresheet in defeat as they are in decent form with three wins in their last four games, and Celtic have conceded in eight of their last nine.

Inter Milan have scored at least twice in their last seven league games, notching nine goals across meetings with Como, Bologna, and Napoli in their last three at home. They meet a Lecce side who are bottom of the xG table, and the visitors are set to be outclassed in this trip.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last eight games against Chelsea and have seven wins in their last nine games. They have only kept one clean sheet in their last seven, though, so may concede against a Blues side that have scored in their last three meetings with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Celtic claimed a 4-0 win over Dundee United in Martin O’Neill’s second first game back in charge at the weekend and they can follow that up by beating Falkirk on Wednesday.

Lecce have scored only 13 times in 19 league games, while they’ve created just 4.75 xG across their eight away trips. Inter Milan have recorded five wins to nil over bottom-half sides, while recording big victories over Fiorentina, Cremonese, and Torino at home.

Liverpool look like the best value pick, with the Reds putting their struggles behind them with an eight-game unbeaten run. The Reds have the fourth-best Expected Goals record across the first six Champions League gameweeks, while they’ve recorded back-to-back 1-0 wins over Real Madrid and Inter Milan in Europe. Arne Slot’s side have a kind double-header in January, leaving them primed for a top-eight finish. With the Premier League coasting towards a fifth Champions League berth, the Reds should be in a good position to focus on European success in the spring.

Spain have some incredibly talented individuals, Lamine Yamal being the prime example, but are strong in all areas and don’t have any particular weaknesses. They won Euro 2024 with relative ease and they should be too good for their continental rivals at the World Cup. They also look a level above South American heavyweights Argentina and Brazil, suggesting they will be the team to beat at the World Cup this summer.

Newcastle ended a 70-year wait for a major trophy by lifting the League Cup last season, and they could continue their defence of the title in positive fashion at home to Manchester City on Tuesday.The Magpies are unbeaten in their last 13 home games, winning ten, and have a solid recent record when Pep Guardiola’s side visit St James’ Park.

The Milanese duo of AC Milan and Inter lead the way in Serie A, but Como have excelled at the Stadio Guiseppe Sinigaglia this season and look good value to take something off their illustrious visitors.The hosts are yet to lose a home game this season and have taken ten points from the last 12 available home and away, while the Rossoneri have only won two of their last six fixtures, including a draw at 18th-placed Fiorentina in their last trip away.

PSG may be in the unfamiliar position of second in the Ligue 1 table, but they have only failed to win one of their eight home games in the league and look unlikely to drop any more points against Lille.Les Dogues have lost four of their last seven away fixtures, and their last four trips to the Parc des Princes have yielded zero points and 13 goals conceded. With Les Parisiens on a three-game winning streak in the league, back them to get another three points to keep the pressure on leaders Lens.

Crystal Palace’s FA Cup defence came to an abrupt and shocking end as they were beaten by non-league Macclesfield at the weekend, and their dismal run could continue at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.The speed of the Eagles’ collapse has made for a miserable winter at Selhurst Park, and they make the lengthy journey to the north east winless in their last nine matches.
