Dortmund have five wins from seven home games and this should be a routine victory against a Werder Bremen side who are winless in five. The visitors have lost by two clear goals in five of their six clashes with the top eight, and Dortmund’s solid defensive record can see them cruise past Werder.

Both teams have scored in five of Atletico’s last six games, and their last cup outing saw them scrape by Atletico Baleares with a 3-2 win. Diego Simeone’s side return after a trip to Saudi Arabia and they visit a Depor side who have begun 2026 with back-to-back score draws.

Osasuna have lost eight of their 10 league trips this season, with their two away points coming at sides in the bottom four. This cup visit to Real Sociedad should be another setback for Osasuna, but they can get on the scoresheet against a side that have one home clean sheet so far this term.

Newcastle’s last two games have featured 13 goals in total, while Manchester City have seen both teams score in four of their last five games. Both teams have scored in four of the last five clashes between the pair at St James’ Park, and they’re each in good scoring form.

The Jazz lost 150-95 to the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday, which looks like the point where they waived the white flag for the season. Utah needs to finish in the top eight in the draft to keep their pick, so they won’t want to be too competitive. Cleveland scored 146 points in a win over the Timberwolves in their last game, so they’re more than capable of clearing this line.

Indiana have recorded back-to-back wins, but those came on the back of a 13-game losing streak. The Eastern Conference champions have slumped to the bottom of the standings, and they meet a Boston side which is smarting from Saturday’s loss to the Spurs. Boston is 12-7 against the spread on the road this season, with a +7.3 point margin those games. The Pacers are 6-15 at home this season, so side with the Celtics.

Dallas is now 4-15 without Anthony Davis available, following a loss to the Chicago Bulls over the weekend. Brooklyn has won five of their last 10 on the road, while they recorded a competitive loss at Memphis in their last game. With Dallas dropping six of their last eight games, Brooklyn holds plenty of appeal as an underdog.

Lakers need a big win after back-to-back losses to San Antonio and Milwaukee. They are 6-0 ATS/SU In 6 meetings with the Kings who are playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back here. Sacramento is just 1-5 SU in this scenario for the season, they’re simply not good enough without Sabonis at the moment.

The Hornets have been competitive in recent games, but this spread should probably be bigger. The Clippers are 9-2 across their last 11, which included a win at the Eastern Conference’s top side in their last game. The Clippers have won by more than five points in five of their last seven home games, with the other two games seeing them edge out Steph Curry’s Warriors and lose to a strong Boston side.

Pittsburgh’s season was saved by a missed field goal, but the Steelers still earned it, posting one of their best offensive games of the year behind Aaron Rodgers and Arthur Smith while once again proving head coach Mike Tomlin’s intangibles matter more than the metrics. Houston brings the biggest matchup edge with an elite, pressure-heavy defense and a battle-tested resume, but questions remain about whether their inconsistent offense can fully capitalize, even with CJ Stroud’s growth. With the spread sitting at a field goal in what profiles as a lower-scoring game, the Steelers look the right side to be on.

FEBRUARY –  The Texans’ suffocating defence has been the key to their eight-game winning run and with the AFC looking the less competitive conference this season after the demise of the Kansas City Chiefs, they have the talent to go a long way. Quarterback CJ Stroud is fully fit again and can look for an elite wide receiver in Nico Collins while former first-round picks Will Anderson Jr. and Derek Stingley Jr. are just two of their many defensive stars.

JULY – Elena Rybakina looks a bet in her bid to repeat her 2022 triumph at the All England Club. The Kazakhstani has had a tough couple of years, due in the main to off-court issues, but she finished last year on a high with victory at the WTA Finals. She’s a superb grass-court player who is as good as Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek when she’s on her game.

JULY – Alex Noren enjoyed a resurgence in his career in 2025, winning twice on the DP World Tour, and 2026 could finally be the year he ends his long wait for a maiden Major. The Swede has an affinity for links golf, evidenced by his victory at the 2016 Scottish Open and his two top-10 Open finishes, he could go all the way and land the Claret Jug in 2026.

DECEMBER – Mercedes may have botched the ground-effect era, but the Silver Arrows have a strong record of responding well to rule changes, and the sweeping regulation shift coming in 2026 should bring the title back into play. Their power unit has already come under, and been cleared, of scrutiny, suggesting it is likely to be among the strongest engines on the grid, and they have the driver lineup to win the consistent points necessary to land the constructor crown.

The hosts faced 3.4 xG in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Union Berlin, while the visitors allowed 2.9 xG in their own 2-2 draw at Cologne. Both sides give up plenty of chances, conceding the two highest xG against tallies in the league, and goals should follow.

The Citizens have only won one of their last five trips to this ground, and their 10-1 demolition of Exeter City on Saturday ended a three-game winless streak.

Spurred on by the in-form Brahim Diaz, who has scored in all five games so far, they can get the better of the Super Eagles on Wednesday.

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.

They have lost three of their last four away games and come up against a Black Cats side with the sixth-best home record in the top flight.

Talk of a potential title challenge from Aston Villa may have quietened following one point from their last two away games, but Unai Emery’s side are a force to be reckoned with at Villa Park and should claim the points against an Everton side winless in three assignments.Villa have won their last 11 home fixtures and beat the Toffees 3-2 here last season, while David Moyes’ side took just one point from meetings with Brentford and Wolves before being knocked out of the FA Cup by Sunderland on Saturday.

Cultural Leonesa have won only two of 10 home games in the Spanish second tier, so they’re unlikely to hold off Athletic Bilbao. However, the visitors return from the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia after a 5-0 hammering against Barcelona, and they’ve conceded in four of their last five games.

Osasuna have lost eight of their 10 league trips this season, with their two away points coming at sides in the bottom four. This cup visit to Real Sociedad should be another setback for Osasuna, but they can get on the scoresheet against a side that have one home clean sheet so far this term.

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.

Top Oss have lost three of their last four league games, scoring in each of those defeats. They’ve lost seven of nine meetings with the top seven, with BTTS landing in eight of those games. The hosts are fifth in the table, and have won five of eight home clashes with sides below them, but they’ve also conceded in 14 consecutive games.

There have been 21 goals scored across the hosts’ last four league games, while they host an Ajax Reserves side who are bottom of the table, having shipped 24 goals in 10 away trips. Both teams have scored in the visitors’ last six away trips, so back this to be a high-scoring affair.

Liverpool will probably use this game as an opportunity to rotate but even a weakened home team should be able to beat League One strugglers Barnsley without conceding. Liverpool are on a 10-game unbeaten run and have three clean sheets in their last six games, while Barnsley have failed to score in two of their last four games and have lost four of their last six.

Cremonese are winless in five and have scored just two goals during that draw, drawing blanks in four of those games. They face a Juventus side who have five wins and four clean sheets across their last six games so the hosts look capable of winning without conceding.

Juventus are in form but they haven’t been blowing teams away. The Bianconeri have only scored more than twice in one of their last nine games across all comps, while Cremonese have shipped a respectable 23 goals across 19 Serie A games so a routine 2-0 home win is the pick.

Borja Iglesias has seven goals in 17 league games this season and has three in total across his last two appearances, including a strike in a cup tie at Albacete. Iglesias will also be on penalty duties for Celta and he stands out as a potential anytime scorer.

Celta are among the best travellers in La Liga with four wins and just one defeat in eight trips. The visitors have 10 points to show from their last four games in La Liga and can claim maximum points at Sevilla, who have lost their last three games across all comps.
