Football Betting Tips

Over 2.5 goals looks the best bet when Lincoln host AFC Wimbledon. Lincoln are prolific, scoring in 24 straight league games and hitting at least two in most of them, while their recent matches often clear the line. Wimbledon games away from home have been open too, with four of their last five trips producing three or more goals. Lincoln’s scoring power should drive this, and their defence is not always watertight in this matchup, so goals should come.

Barrow have seen at least three goals in 80% of their away trips this season, which is partly due to scoring in all five of their visits to the top seven, while losing each game. The visitors were thumped 5-0 at Grimsby last time out, and they head to an MK Dons side that has conceded in six of their previous seven.

Stockport have won their last three games at Edgeley Park but Wycombe should be high on confidence too after thumping Port Vale 4-0 last week. With both sides in good nick, back them to combine for over 2.5 goals for the second time in League One this season.

PSG boss Enrique has seen his side score 16 goals in their last five home games and they hammered Toulouse 6-3 in their first meeting in August. Toulouse have conceded five goals in their last two away matches.

Paris Saint-Germain have only lost one of their 12 home games in Paris this season, with Luis Enrique’s team winning 10 of those. Toulouse have won 17 points in 13 trips and they should be able to hit the back of the net, having scored six in two on the road.

Coventry hammered Derby 5-3 in the first meeting in August and another entertaining battle is expected at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Derby have lost three of their last four away games and face the Championship’s best home team on Friday.

Elche’s four away points is the fewest in La Liga this term and they are unlikely to build on that measly tally at Rayo Vallecano. The hosts have lost only two of their last 15 home matches and should prove too strong for their travel-sick visitors.

Sporting have scored 12 goals across their last four games, and they’ve picked up eight home wins by two clear goals this term. Santa Clara average under a goal per game on their travels, while Sporting have struck 36 goals in 12 home games this term.

Real Madrid look the best bet away at Mallorca. The hosts are down in 18th and have been leaking goals for months, going 14 straight league games without a clean sheet and eight home matches without one. Real are second, in strong form and have won 12 of their last 15 league games, so they should have too much quality and firepower.

PSV are once again leading the way in the Eredivisie, but they have lost three of their last four games and face an Utrecht side in tremendous form, with the visitors unbeaten in their last seven and winning five of them.

Verona look destined for the drop and their Serie A troubles could be compounded by a resurgent Fiorentina side on Saturday. La Viola are only two points clear of the relegation zone, but they are unbeaten in their last five competitive games and have won four of their last five on the road. Verona, sitting nine points adrift of safety, have the league’s worst home record with seven points from a possible 42. They have taken one point from their last seven home matches and have won just one competitive home game in the last 13 months.

Telstar have won three and drawn one of their last four home games, including a stunning win over league-leaders PSV in their most recent home outing. They can add another three points to their tally against Groningen, who have taken only one point from their last four on the road.

Barcelona have won 24 of their 29 La Liga games and should get the points against Atletico Madrid, but the hosts have scored 13 goals in their last five games and should find the net in defeat.

NEC Nijmegen are enjoying a fantastic season and find themselves third in the Eredivisie. They have won three and drawn one of their last four, while the relegation-threatened Excelsior have taken one point from their last six games and are winless at home since December.

Arsenal suffered a miserable 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final last time out and they may not have things all their own way again in-form Championship side Southampton on Saturday. The Saints are pushing hard for a playoff place in the second division and their unbeaten run stands at 14 matches in all competitions. The Gunners can edge through but the home side can get on the scoresheet.

Lens won the reverse Derby du Nord 3-0 and head into this tie having won seven of their last 11 away games. They head into gameweek 28 just a point shy of PSG at the top of the Ligue 1 table and Lille have lost five of their last nine at home.

O’Higgins have won six of their last eight home games and beat Audax Italiano 3-2 here last season. The visitors may be level on points with O’Higgins, but only one of their ten points has been won on their travels.

Inter Bogota have lost just three of their 14 games this season and just one of their last six on the road, while hosts Fortaleza come into this tie having taken just one point from the last 12 available.

Guabira lost ten of their 15 away games in last season’s Bolivian Primera Division and have not won any of their last ten competitive away games, losing eight. They face a Blooming side that won 12 of their 15 home fixtures last term.

Junior have won four of their last six home games and hold a six-point advantage over Deportivo Cali in the Colombia Primera A standings. The visitors have won only four of their 19 points away from home, losing four of their six trips so far.

O’Higgins have won six of their last eight home games and beat Audax Italiano 3-2 here last season. The visitors may be level on points with O’Higgins, but only one of their ten points has been won on their travels.

Both teams have scored in five of Central Coast Mariners’ last six A-League assignments and in six of their last seven home meetings with Perth Glory. The visitors have seen goals at both ends in six of their last eight fixtures.

Western Sydney Wanderers are bottom of the A-League and have the worst away record in the division. They have scored in seven successive away games, though, and may get on the scoresheet against a Melbourne City side that have won two of their last four at home in the league but have only kept one clean sheet in this run.

Western Sydney Wanderers are bottom of the A-League and have the worst away record in the division. They have scored in seven successive away games, though, and may get on the scoresheet against a Melbourne City side that have won two of their last four at home in the league but have only kept one clean sheet in this run.

Both of these teams have looked suspect defensively and over 2.5 goals with both teams scoring is the pick. The selection should have landed in both league meetings between the two, with Liverpool having a goal wrongfully ruled out in their 3-0 defeat at this ground last year.

Port Vale’s fairytale run in the FA Cup is likely to end at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea are expected to be too strong for League One’s bottom side. The Blues haven’t been in the best of form in the lead up to the recent international break, but their wealth of riches in the squad should ensure a comfortable home victory over their plucky visitors.

Arsenal suffered a miserable 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final last time out and they may not have things all their own way again in-form Championship side Southampton on Saturday. The Saints are pushing hard for a playoff place in the second division and their unbeaten run stands at 14 matches in all competitions. The Gunners can edge through but the home side can get on the scoresheet.

Jeremy Doku caused Liverpool all sorts of problems in the first game between these two and was rightfully Man of the Match. He was a standout for Belgium in the international break and is fancied to net again.

Pedro Neto is Chelsea’s leading scorer in the FA Cup this term with four goals and the Portuguese forward looks a solid anytime goalscorer option. Neto bagged a hat-trick in the 4-0 win over Hull and has claimed ten goals in all competition’s this season. A strong side is likely to be deployed by Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior as he looks to lift confidence in his side and that could open up opportunities for star men such as Neto.

Lamine Yamal scored the last time that he visited this stadium in the league and he is also Barcelona’s top scorer in the league this season with 14. He can add to that tally.

Gabriel Jesus has found his chances limited in an Arsenal shirt this term but he has started all three of the Gunners’ FA Cup matches this season and is likely to lead the line once more for the Premier League leaders in this contest. Jesus was on the mark in the 4-0 win over Wigan in the fourth round and will be keen to catch the eye of boss Mikel Arteta as the season reaches a hectic conclusion.

Paris Saint-Germain have only lost one of their 12 home games in Paris this season, with Luis Enrique’s team winning 10 of those. Toulouse have won 17 points in 13 trips and they should be able to hit the back of the net, having scored six in two on the road.

Coventry hammered Derby 5-3 in the first meeting in August and another entertaining battle is expected at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Derby have lost three of their last four away games and face the Championship’s best home team on Friday.

Coventry have only lost two of their 19 home games this season in the Championship, scoring 40 goals on home soil. While Derby won 1-0 away from home last week, they have conceded seven goals in four on their travels.

While Elche aren’t picking up many points on the road, they are at least scoring goals. Los Franjiverdes have netted in ten straight away games and can get on the scoresheet in defeat at Rayo Vallecano, who have managed only two clean sheets in eight home matches.

Both of these teams have looked suspect defensively and over 2.5 goals with both teams scoring is the pick. The selection should have landed in both league meetings between the two, with Liverpool having a goal wrongfully ruled out in their 3-0 defeat at this ground last year.

Bayer Leverkusen have scored three goals or more in ten of their 27 Bundesliga games this season and the best bet is both teams to score when they host Wolfsburg on Saturday. Both teams to score has been a winning bet in four of Bayer Leverkusen’s last five Bundesliga games, and no team has played more matches with goals at both ends than Wolfsburg this season.

Just one point separates these sides in the table and the reverse fixture was a five-goal thriller. Both teams have scored in four of Ajax’s last five at home and in each of Twente’s last five on the road.

Barcelona have won 24 of their 29 La Liga games and should get the points against Atletico Madrid, but the hosts have scored 13 goals in their last five games and should find the net in defeat.

Arsenal suffered a miserable 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final last time out and they may not have things all their own way again in-form Championship side Southampton on Saturday. The Saints are pushing hard for a playoff place in the second division and their unbeaten run stands at 14 matches in all competitions. The Gunners can edge through but the home side can get on the scoresheet.

Sassuolo look the best bet at home to Cagliari. The visitors are in a poor run, winless in seven league games and losing five of the last seven, including three straight defeats. Their away form is weak too and they keep conceding, with no clean sheet in seven of the last nine. Sassuolo have the home edge and should take advantage.

Hoffenheim are a strong bet to win at home to Mainz on Saturday. Christian Ilzer’s side have been prolific in front of goal on their own turf this season, scoring 28 times in 13 games – an average of 2.15 goals per game. They are fifth in the Bundesliga, six places and 20 points above Mainz, with 15 wins from their 27 games this season. The visitors are 11th with seven wins, nine draws and 11 defeats.

Real Madrid look the best bet away at Mallorca. The hosts are down in 18th and have been leaking goals for months, going 14 straight league games without a clean sheet and eight home matches without one. Real are second, in strong form and have won 12 of their last 15 league games, so they should have too much quality and firepower.

Strasbourg look the best bet at home to Nice. They are solid at the back at home, conceding just nine goals in 13, and arrive on a six-game unbeaten run. Nice are a mess away, losing seven of their last nine trips and conceding heavily, while also struggling for goals, failing to score in five of their last seven league games. With Nice also keeping very few clean sheets, Strasbourg should have enough to win.

Bayern Munich have scored three or more goals in six of their last seven Bundesliga games, and there is the potential for another goalfest on Saturday when they visit Freiburg at Europa-Park Stadion. Back over 3.5 goals.

Rangers’ matches regularly produce goals, with five of their last seven Premiership games featuring over 2.5. Dundee United’s away fixtures show a similar pattern, with three or more goals in five of their last six on the road. Both sides have consistent scoring trends, supporting a high-scoring selection.

Both of these teams have been full of goals and it is difficult to envisage anything other than an entertaining, goal-filled clash between the teams second and third in the Bundesliga.

Over 3.5 goals has landed in seven of Atletico Madrid’s last ten games in all competitions and Barcelona are no slouches going forwards, netting 78 goals in 29 league games this term. Take over 3.5 in this one.

Hamburg and Augsburg are both hoping for a top-half finish in the Bundesliga this season and there is little to choose between them – with just a point and two places separating the sides in the table going into the weekend action in Germany.Hamburg are 12th but can go above 10th-placed Augsburg with a home win and inflict a fourth-straight loss on the visitors in the process.Those recent defeats to RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart highlight Augsburg’s current problems with the 5-2 home setback against Stuttgart before the international break particularly poor as they found themselves 3-0 down at the break.Hamburg raced into a 2-0 lead at Dortmund in their most recent game but ended up conceding three times in the final 20 minutes to lose.They can respond on Saturday, though, when facing opponents who have only won three times away in the Bundesliga all season.

Mainz have suffered two defeats in their last 14 Bundesliga matches and they look to have been unfairly dismissed for their trip to Hoffenheim.The visitors have shown some decent road form, scoring in six of their last seven away league games, which included a 2-1 win at RB Leipzig and a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich, when they were pegged back by a late Harry Kane penalty.They should be encouraged by victories over Werder Bremen and Eintracht Frankfurt before the international break and while Hoffenheim are fifth in the table, a home win is far from guaranteed.The hosts have lost to St Pauli and drawn with Wolfsburg in their last two home games and were thumped 5-0 in Leipzig last time out.

Verona look destined for the drop and their Serie A troubles could be compounded by a resurgent Fiorentina side on Saturday. La Viola are only two points clear of the relegation zone, but they are unbeaten in their last five competitive games and have won four of their last five on the road. Verona, sitting nine points adrift of safety, have the league’s worst home record with seven points from a possible 42. They have taken one point from their last seven home matches and have won just one competitive home game in the last 13 months.

Cultural Leonesa saw their winless streak reach 16 games as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Huesca in midweek but they did dominate that game for large periods, suggesting that La Liga 2’s rock bottom club aren’t willing to go down without a fight.In truth, La Cultu look destined for the drop but they can at least grab a goal on Saturday against Valladolid to give the home fans something to cheer about.Both teams have scored in each of Valladolid’s last five away games and they have just one clean sheet in their last 10 trips. The hosts have the worst defence in the division with 55 goals conceded and Valladolid have shipped 27 goals across 16 trips. Both defences look incredibly suspect so 5/6 on both teams scoring looks decent value here.

Espanyol are winless in 12, and they make the trip to Real Betis having seen both teams score in their previous nine league games. The visitors have already suffered defeats in all three of their visits to the top five, while they were beaten 2-1 by fifth-placed Betis in the reverse meeting.Betis have picked up seven home wins this term as they push for a return to the Champions League. They’ve hit a rough run of form, but their underlying numbers remain encouraging. However, BTTS has landed in five of six matches for Betis, and in each of their last four at home.

Barcelona will be out for revenge after they were beaten 4-0 by Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final recently. Barca did bounce back to win the second game 3-0 but that wasn’t enough, although it does set the precedent for what should be another entertaining affair when these two face off.Hansi Flick’s men have scored 78 goals in their 29 league games and recently put seven past Newcastle. Meanwhile Atletico are no slouches of their own going forwards, seven of their last ten games have gone over 3.5 goals and they were part of a five-goal thriller against rivals Real Madrid last time out.Take over 3.5 goals in this La Liga clash which should set both teams up for their meeting in the Champions League next week.

PSV are once again leading the way in the Eredivisie, but they have lost three of their last four games and face an Utrecht side in tremendous form, with the visitors unbeaten in their last seven and winning five of them.

Telstar have won three and drawn one of their last four home games, including a stunning win over league-leaders PSV in their most recent home outing. They can add another three points to their tally against Groningen, who have taken only one point from their last four on the road.

Lens won the reverse Derby du Nord 3-0 and head into this tie having won seven of their last 11 away games. They head into gameweek 28 just a point shy of PSG at the top of the Ligue 1 table and Lille have lost five of their last nine at home.

Verona look destined for the drop and their Serie A troubles could be compounded by a resurgent Fiorentina side on Saturday. La Viola are only two points clear of the relegation zone, but they are unbeaten in their last five competitive games and have won four of their last five on the road. Verona, sitting nine points adrift of safety, have the league’s worst home record with seven points from a possible 42. They have taken one point from their last seven home matches and have won just one competitive home game in the last 13 months.

Real Betis look the best bet at home to Espanyol. Betis are strong on their own turf, losing only one of their last nine league games, and they are unbeaten in six overall. Espanyol are in a long slump, winless in 12 and without an away win in six, and they keep conceding on their travels. With Espanyol also losing four of their last five away games, Betis should have enough.

Telstar have won three and drawn one of their last four home games, including a stunning win over league-leaders PSV in their most recent home outing. They can add another three points to their tally against Groningen, who have taken only one point from their last four on the road.

Lazio have won three on the spin and they should be able to get the better of a Parma side who have lost two on the bounce and have struggled badly in front of goal this season, take Lazio to make it four wins in a row.

NEC Nijmegen are enjoying a fantastic season and find themselves third in the Eredivisie. They have won three and drawn one of their last four, while the relegation-threatened Excelsior have taken one point from their last six games and are winless at home since December.

Lazio have won five games by a 1-0 scoreline this season, including the reverse fixture and could repeat the trick against a Parma side who have only scored 21 times in 30 matches, the lowest in the division.

Lille’s two most recent home defeats have each been by a 1-0 scoreline and Lens have the second-best defensive record in Ligue 1. They have conceded just 15 goals away from home and will be content to keep things tight as they look to maintain their title challenge.

Barcelona have won 24 of their 29 La Liga games and should get the points against Atletico Madrid, but the hosts have scored 13 goals in their last five games and should find the net in defeat.

Arsenal suffered a miserable 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final last time out and they may not have things all their own way again in-form Championship side Southampton on Saturday. The Saints are pushing hard for a playoff place in the second division and their unbeaten run stands at 14 matches in all competitions. The Gunners can edge through but the home side can get on the scoresheet.

Woking fell to defeat at promotion hopefuls York City at the weekend, but they have won five of their last six at Kingfield Stadium and should coast to victory against an Altrincham side with nine defeats from their last 12 away fixtures.

Burgos are pushing for promotion to the Spanish top flight and hold the third-best home record in the division. They have taken 16 points from the last 18 available at Estadio El Plantion, and another three-point haul is on the cards against Ceuta, who have lost five of their last six trips.

Both teams to score has landed in eight of Bahia’s last nine home games and more goals should be on the cards when Athletico PR visit Salvador, with the visitors scoring in ten successive away games but only keeping three clean sheets in that run.

Barracas Central are worth taking at odds-against to beat Sarmiento Junin, who have lost all five away games in the Argentina Liga Profesional this year. The hosts have won their last three home games by an aggregate scoreline of 6-2 and can take the points on Thursday.

Millwall are closing the gap on the automatic promotion spots in the Championship and they can upset the odds to add to their points tally against second-placed Middlesbrough on Good Friday. Boro are winless in their last four home games and face a Lions outfit with 13 points from the last 15 available on their travels.

Norwich have won seven of their last eight Carrow Road assignments  and can keep their faint play-off ambitions alive against Portsmouth. The visitors have only taken one point from their last six games and were demolished 6-1 at QPR last time out.

Elche are the only La Liga side yet to win away from home in the league and the division’s worst travelling side could receive another blow in their battle against relegation. They have lost their last six away games on the spin and hosts Rayo Vallecano are unbeaten in their last four home league games.

Manchester City lifted the EFL Cup before the international break and should keep their FA Cup hopes alive against Liverpool. The Reds have lost three of their last four away games and were beaten 3-0 here in November, while Pep Guardiola’s side have won seven of their last nine at the Etihad.

Verona are nine points adrift from Serie A safety and their situation is unlikely to improve against a resurgent Fiorentina outfit. La Viola are unbeaten in five games and look set to inflict a sixth defeat in seven games on their struggling hosts.

Monaco are only three points adrift of Marseille going into gameweek 28 in the Ligue 1 season and they are chasing a seventh successive league win. They have beaten Lyon, Lens, and PSG in this time and Marseille, who have lost three of their last five away games, could be Les Monegasques’ next victims.
