Bologna look the best bet away at Cremonese. They are in strong form on the road, winning four of their last five away league games and arriving on a run of three straight away wins. Cremonese are struggling badly, winning one of their last ten at home and losing seven of their last nine overall. They also lack goals at home, often failing to score, which plays into Bologna’s hands.

Lyon look the best bet away at Angers. The hosts are in a poor spell, losing five of their last six league games, and their defence is leaking, with no clean sheet in five of the last six and six straight at home. Lyon are fourth and usually do well in this matchup, losing only one of the last ten meetings. Even if Lyon are not flying, Angers look fragile enough to exploit.

Union Berlin look the best bet at home to St Pauli. The visitors are dreadful away, losing five of their last six trips, and they struggle to score, averaging 0.71 goals per away game and failing to score more than anyone in the league. St Pauli are also leaking goals, with clean sheets rare, so Union should have enough to win.

Livingston haven’t won a game since August and are destined for relegation this season, so they could fall foul of a Hearts side looking to topple the Old Firm. The visitors have won three of their last four games and have won their last five meetings with Livi.

The Denver Nuggets’ seven-game win streak hasn’t seen them face any big hitters, while their defensive record remains an issue. The Spurs have won 16 of their last 17 matches, including their previous 11, and they maintained that run without Victor Wembanyama in a 118-99 win at the LA Clippers. This is a showcase for Wembanyama to push his MVP case against three-time winner Nikola Jokic, so back the Spurs for another big win.

This is a showcase for Wembanyama to push his MVP case against three-time winner Nikola Jokic, so back the Spurs for another big win.

The last time these two sides met, Bam Adebayo scored 83 points – the highest tally by any NBA player in decades. That game finished 150-129 to the Heat, and the Wizards haven’t shown much improvement, suffering a 153-131 defeat to the Sixers in their last game. If Washington is to restore some pride, they’ll have to target a Miami defence which ranks 30th out of 30 across the last 10 games. The Heat have conceded 147, 135, and 149 points across their last four games, so there’s real appeal in the over here.

The Pistons can clinch top spot in the Eastern Conference with a win, which could cause this to turn into quite a tense game. The Sixers are in a tight fight for a playoff berth, and that must-win pressure for both sides points towards the under. Four of Philly’s last five home games have failed to meet this total, while the solid Pistons have relied on strong defending in Cade Cunningham’s absence. They rank fourth defensively across their last 10 and 15th offensively, so their best hope of a win is to keep the score down.

Charlotte are unbeaten on their own patch this season and they should be supremely confident of seeing off Philadelphia. The Union have lost their opening five games of the campaign and their dismal start looks set to continue.

Charlotte are unbeaten on their own patch this season and they should be supremely confident of seeing off Philadelphia. The Union have lost their opening five games of the campaign and their dismal start looks set to continue.

New York City should come out on top of this clash at Yankee Stadium. The hosts have won three of their last four in MLS, while St Louis have failed to score three times in the same period and look to be up against it.

There looks a strong chance that both teams will score in this one. That has happened in four of the Red Bulls’ last six matches and it’s four MLS games since Cincinnati last recorded a shutout.

Inter Miami won 3-2 at New York City last time out, and they host an Austin side who have scored in defeats at Real Salt Lake and Charlotte this term. The hosts have conceded a lot of chances this term, and they host an Austin side that has created 4.9 xG in five games.

Volendam have lost four of their last five matches, but they’ve put up a fight against the top teams this term. The hosts have seen both teams score in all six of their home meetings with the top seven, with four of those featuring three or more goals. Feyenoord have seen over 2.5 goals in 69% of their away trips, so this should be an open affair.

Heerenveen have taken 10 points from their last four matches, and they host bottom side Heracles, who have lost 12 of 14 away trips. The visitors have conceded four goals in five of their last six away trips. The hosts have scored 22 goals in their clashes with the bottom six this term, while Heracles have shipped 26 goals in eight visits to top-half teams.

Westerlo have won five of their seven home meetings with sides below them in the standings this term, including a 2-1 victory over Charleroi in February. The visitors tailed off with six defeats in seven, and they conceded 16 times in that run.

Huesca have conceded 13 goals across their last four games, losing three and drawing once. They head to play-off chasing Las Palmas, and the hosts’ fine home form should see them trouble Huesca. The visitors have lost 5-3 at Malaga and 4-2 at Granada across their last two trips, so back goals to follow in this clash.

Jack: Monaco won six in a row heading into the international break, and they meet a Marseille side that have failed to win four of their last five on the road.

Ian: Cremonese ended a run of 15 Serie A matches without a win when they saw off Parma 2-0 before the international break, but they could still be vulnerable against Bologna on their own patch. Bologna look set for a mid-table finish but they have won four of their last five away games.

Aaron A: Lyon have won their last six meetings with Angers and the trend is taken to continue with the hosts having lost their focus with little left to play for. Angers have suffered defeat in five of their last six league fixtures, which includes back-to-back home losses to nil against Lille and Nice.

Alex: Inter have failed to beat Atalanta and Bodo/Glimt in their last three home games, while Roma have only lost two of their last nine games.

Joe: Eintracht Frankfurt need a strong end to the season if they are to secure European football. The hosts have won their last three home games and should be too strong for a Cologne side who have won just one of their last nine.

Aaron: Hosts Pisa are without a clean sheet in nine at home, while the visitors have conceded in visits to Lecce, Fiorentina, Genoa, and Parma this season. These two sides shared a 2-2 draw in Turin earlier in the campaign, so back more goals here.

Back both teams to score when Valencia host Celta Vigo. Celta are reliable in attack, scoring in 13 of their last 15 league games and in seven straight, and their recent matches keep landing BTTS. Valencia are strong at Mestalla but rarely keep clean sheets there, failing in nine of their last 11 home league games. The head-to-head also leans heavily towards goals at both ends, with BTTS landing in five of the last six meetings.

Back both teams to score when Dundee host Celtic. Celtic are the league’s top scorers and regularly hit two, while recent matches suggest they are not always watertight, especially away. Dundee keep conceding at home, without a clean sheet in six straight, but they can contribute too. BTTS has landed in seven of Celtic’s last nine league games and in four of their last five away trips, so goals at both ends look likely.

Metz and Nantes have struggled defensively, conceding 60 and 45 goals respectively this season, making clean sheets unlikely. The sides are closely matched in the table, separated by three points, and Nantes arrive on a poor run with 11 defeats in 13 games, increasing the chances of both sides finding the net.

West Ham drew 2-2 with Brentford in the last round of the cup, and they followed that with a 1-1 draw against Man City at home. The last four meetings between these sides have seen BTTS land, and with the pair expected to rotate, back both to concede.

Sevilla look the best bet away at Oviedo. The hosts are bottom, short on confidence and struggle badly for goals, especially at home. Oviedo average just 0.43 goals per home game and have failed to score more than anyone in the league. They also concede regularly, with no clean sheet in ten of the last 12. Sevilla are not flying either, but they have more quality and should take advantage.

Westerlo have won five of their seven home meetings with sides below them in the standings this term, including a 2-1 victory over Charleroi in February. The visitors tailed off with six defeats in seven, and they conceded 16 times in that run.

Inter Milan need to recover from their recent blip, but the hosts have only kept one clean sheet in their last seven home matches across all competitions. The Nerazzurri have struggled to keep clean sheets at home to the top sides in Italy, but they meet a Roma side who have lost four of their five visits to the top seven.

Monaco have won seven of their last eight Ligue 1 games, and they’ve put together a four-game winning streak at home. They host a Marseille side that has lost all five visits to the top seven this term.

Inter Milan need to recover from their recent blip, but the hosts have only kept one clean sheet in their last seven home matches across all competitions. The Nerazzurri have struggled to keep clean sheets at home to the top sides in Italy, but they meet a Roma side who have lost four of their five visits to the top seven.

Balogun failed to score on international duty with the US, but he has seen his form for Monaco step up. The striker has scored in six of his last seven appearances for his club side, finding the net in their last three home games.

Monaco have conceded in four of their previous six victories, while the visitors have scored in five of their last six Ligue 1 games. The visitors have suffered four defeats by a single goal on their travels this term, and Monaco have scored at least twice in six consecutive Ligue 1 outings.

Roma have suffered back-to-back 2-1 defeats on their travels, and all 10 of their defeats this term have come by a single goal. Inter have conceded exactly once in their previous three Serie A matches, so back them to secure a 2-1 win.

Monaco have won seven of their last eight Ligue 1 games, and they’ve put together a four-game winning streak at home. They host a Marseille side that has lost all five visits to the top seven this term.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
