Manchester City are favourites to bounce back from their St James’ Park defeat on Tuesday, but a clean sheet is unlikely for a Citizens’ defence that have looked vulnerable in recent times.They have scored 14 goals in their last seven matches, but they have just one clean sheet to their name in this period and face an attack-minded Bayer Leverkusen side that have scored in 16 of their 17 fixtures this season.

Sporting and Club Brugge have both averaged two goals per game in the Champions League this season, and another high-scoring affair is expected at Estadio Jose Alvalade on Wednesday.All four of the hosts’ European outings this season have featured goals at both ends, and Club Brugge’s six-goal thriller at home to Barcelona earlier this month made it eight goals scored and ten conceded in this competition.

Genk’s last Europa League outing was a stunning 4-3 win away to Sporting Braga, and both teams have scored in six of their ten home games this season.Basel have scored in three of their four Europa League assignments this season but have only managed one clean sheet, so expect the goals to flow at the Cegeka Arena on Thursday.

Borussia Monchengladbach put three past Heidenheim without reply on Saturday, but their back line is expected to come under more pressure when RB Leipzig visit Borussia-Park.Both teams have scored in the hosts’ last two home games and RB Leipzig have scored 12 and conceded five in their last four away games, with goals at both ends being scored in three of them.

Monaco suffered a shock 4-1 reverse at Rennes on Saturday to make it three defeats from their last four, but Les Rouge et Blanc still have one of the best attacking records in Ligue 1, and they should be able to trouble PSG’s defence.Only Les Parisiens and Marseille have scored more goals than Monaco, who have seen a league-high 50 goals across their 13 fixtures. They have scored in seven of their nine home games, while both teams to score has landed in six of PSG’s last eight on the road.

Only La Liga’s top four have a better attacking record than Sevilla and Real Betis this season, and the goals should continue to flow at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.Both teams have scored in five of Los Nervionenses’ six home games this term, and all seven of Real Betis’ domestic away games have featured goals at both ends.

Galatasaray have dominated the Intercontinental Derby with five wins and just one defeat in their last eight meetings with Fenerbahce. Gala have five wins in six trips in Super Lig and have three wins in their last four trips to Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. Gala are the league leaders in Turkey and they can pull off a minor upset and see off Fener on Monday. 

Gimnasia have put together a four-game winning run and they look like backable underdogs ahead of the trip to Barracas. The hosts have won just one of their last 10 games and have two defeats in their last five at home, while Gimnasia have won each of the last four meetings between these sides.

Birmingham are one point ahead of Watford and they’ve beaten Norwich, Millwall, and Portsmouth across their last three at home, scoring 12 times. Watford have only managed one clean sheet in 17 league games, while they have one away win to their name this term. The Blues have gone three games without a clean sheet, however, so the visitors can at least grab a consolation effort. 

Valencia have one of the worst defensive records in La Liga, while they’re also poor going forward. They’ve scored only twice in their last five, while they meet a Vallecano side who haven’t conceded in their last three. The hosts solid defence gives them a platform for victory here as one goal may be enough to overcome Los Che. 

Braga’s backline has shown signs of weakness of late and there have been goals at both ends in each of their last five across all comps. Arouca have the division’s worst defensive record but they have scored a respectable 13 goals in 11 games themselves and have hit four goals across their last two games so both of these sides should be able to get on the scoresheet.

After a goalless first leg, Cruz Azul can make home advantage count when they entertain Guadalajara. Cruz Azul have won seven of their last nine home games and are facing a side who lost three of their eight trips in the regular season. Cruz Azul are also unbeaten in four against Guadalajara (W3, D1).

Bologna are unbeaten in 12 games and they’re aiming for a fourth win on the bounce. Cremonese have lost each of their last three Serie A outings, and they’re expected to fall short against a Rossoblu side who have put themselves in the mix for Europe once again.

Arouca sit second from bottom in Portugal’s top flight with six defeats in 11 games. Braga should have far too much for their hosts, who are conceding on average just under three goals per-game.

Santiago Castro should come back into the Bologna side after featuring from the bench in the Europa League and he looks a solid pick for an anytime effort. The Argentine forward has four Serie A goals for the season, three of which have come in his last four appearances.

Jay Stansfield has eight goals in 16 Championship games this season and the 23-year-old has been particularly impressive at St Andrew’s, scoring in four of his last five home appearances with six goals in total across those games. The Birmingham forward can add to his haul against Watford.

Valencia have one of the worst defensive records in La Liga, while they’re also poor going forward. They’ve scored only twice in their last five, while they meet a Vallecano side who haven’t conceded in their last three. One goal may be enough for maximum points for the hosts so a 1-0 win for Rayo has a chance. 

Arouca have conceded 30 goals in 11 games, while they’ve shipped 13 across their last four. Arouca have lost four of their last five, while their struggling backline should have trouble keeping Braga quiet. The visitors are impressing going forward, so back them to record a routine 3-1 victory.

Fredericia have conceded at least three goals in in five successive league games, a run stretching back to a 2-0 loss to Brondby in a reverse fixture. With home advantage, Brondby can go at least one better against the division’s worst defence. 

There is a good chance this Eerste Divisie game is a high-scoring one. Over 3.5 goals has landed in four of Jong PSV’s last five league games and they have conceded more than once in six of their last seven in this competition, while there have been at least four goals scored in four of RKC’s last six games.

Both of these attacks look strong and the odds-against price on over 2.5 goals looks a strong option here. Gimnasia have scored in four successive games, hitting eight goals in total, while Barracas have scored in each of their last four at home but have also conceded in three of those games. Over 2.5 goals has landed in two of the last four meetings between these two sides.
