Mateus Mane has been one catalyst in Wolves’ recent revival and looks good value for a goal on Sunday. He has scored in his last two starts for the club and has three goal contributions this season.

Ollie Watkins looks to be back in form with four goals in his last four Premier League games. The England international was used sparingly in the FA Cup last time out and should come back in the starting side here, and he looks a strong contender for an anytime effort for Villa.

Brahim Diaz has been the top scorer in this tournament with five goals and the Real Madrid man could produce another moment of magic for his country to swing this final.

Adrien Rabiot has been putting in consistently solid displays lately with assists against both Verona and Cagliari. He also scored against Torino in December and he appeals as a bit of an outside option to grab an anytime effort after scoring twice at Como on Thursday.

Raphinha should come back into the Barcelona starting side after coming off the bench at Racing, where he weighed in with an assist during his late cameo. The Brazilian has seven goals in total across his last three starts so he looks a strong contender for an anytime goal.

Pavel Sulc is Lyon’s leading scorer with eight goals in 16 Ligue 1 games. Sulc has six goals across his last five appearances in all competitions and he looks a strong contender for an anytime effort against Brest.

Matias Soule has six goals in Serie A for Roma this season, while he scored and provided an assist in the win over Sassuolo in the last round of league games. The visitors will be seeking a bit of revenge after defeat o Torino in the cup earlier this week and Soule can get on the scoresheet in Turin.

Wolves’ win over Shrewsbury last weekend made it four games without defeat and they have only lost one of their last seven meetings with Newcastle at Molineux. The Magpies lost the first leg of their League Cup semi-final in midweek and have just two wins in their last nine away assignments.

Aston Villa drew 0-0 at injury-hit Crystal Palace in their last Premier League fixture but they are immensely strong at Villa Park and should defeat Everton, who have won just once in their last seven games.

Milan are looking to keep up the pursuit of city rivals Inter at the top of the table and they have not lost since a surprise home reverse against Cremonese on the opening weekend. No team in Serie A scored fewer goals in their opening 20 matches than Lecce this season and the strugglers look primed to draw another blank in this daunting trip.

Vallecano are seven points worse off than their hosts and only basement boys Real Oviedo (nine) have scored fewer goals than their 15, with that lack of firepower likely to cost them in Vigo.

Porto have averaged 2.22 goals per game on their travels, and they should add to that in Sunday night’s visit to Guimaraes. While Porto could cover this line on their own, Guimaraes have scored in seven of their nine home matches, netting 14 times.

Malaga are unbeaten in seven in this competition and have won back-to-back road games. The in-form visitors are seeking a fifth successive victory and look backable as big price underdogs against a Cordoba side who have been inconsistent at home.

We saw 266 points scored between the two teams just 2 days ago in the same building they play each other on Saturday. Not much has changed in the 2 days since that game, expect another high scoring output here. Utah is the worst defense in the NBA arguably, but they have enough offense to counter the Mavs here.

Charlotte is 7-1 ATS in 8 outings on the road, they are a lot younger than the Warriors are which should give them the edge in the athleticism department. The first meeting was decided by just 7 points in the Warriors favor, if the Hornets three-ball continues falling at a high rate they will keep this one close late.

The Jags got a lot of betting support against the Bills last week but ultimately fell to Josh Allen and company, as Buffalo grabbed its first road playoff win since 1992. Allen powered through injuries to post 306 total yards and 3 touchdowns as the Bills’ offense once again carried the load, but a middling defensive showing suggests Buffalo will keep leaning on Allen as they head into a much tougher spot at altitude in Denver. The Broncos bring a top-five defense, a conservative but timely offense, and home-field rest, setting up a likely one-possession game where the intangibles tilt slightly toward Denver, despite Buffalo’s star power.

San Francisco’s win over Philadelphia wasn’t shocking, as Brock Purdy has the 49ers’ offense humming and delivered in key moments despite 2 interceptions, though the Eagles’ stagnant offense also played a role in the result. The Niners’ momentum faces a serious test against a Seahawks team coming off extended rest, fresh from a Week 18 domination of this same 49ers team in which Seattle controlled the trenches, ran for 180 yards, and never let the game get competitive. With San Fran’s star tight end George Kittle lost for the season and the 49ers on a short week after a bruising playoff game, this rematch sets up as a tough spot for the road team and a potential Seattle blowout.

Houston heads northeast again after a dominant 30-6 Wild Card win over Pittsburgh, cashing as favorites and now shifting to a short underdog against AFC East champs New England, which beat the Chargers 16-3. The matchup pits an elite Texans defense (NFL-best 277.2 yards allowed per game) against a Patriots team that’s been reliable at the window, winning 11 straight as a favorite and going 12-5 ATS in the regular season. Houston has thrived in the underdog role, winning and covering 4 straight, including last year’s 41-21 rout of New England. If CJ Stroud cleans up the turnovers, the Texans profile as a live underdog once again.

4 of 6 road teams won on Wild Card weekend, one of which being this Rams team that edged Carolina 34-31 in a matchup that was a heck of a lot closer than many expected. Matthew Stafford delivered a late TD pass tp secure the win in a wild fourth quarter. Chicago delivered the biggest shock, rallying from a 21-3 halftime deficit to beat Green Bay 31-27 behind a huge playoff debut from Caleb Williams, who threw for 361 yards and 2 scores as the Bears won their first postseason game since 2010. With the Rams laying points again and the Bears thriving as underdogs, LA’s strong ATS history as a road favorite makes them the pick to survive the cold at Soldier Field and move 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.

Felix Auger-Aliassime has been placed in a competitive quarter that looks a four-way fight between himself Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedez and Andrey Rublev – and the Canadian looks capable of coming through. Auger-Aliassime beat both Zverev and Rublev on his march through to the last four of the US Open, before beating the former again in the ATP Finals. Auger-Aliassime is the form player of this quartet and he looks capable of making a deep run in Melbourne.

Aryna Sabalanka has reached each of the last six Grand Slam finals played on hardcourts and has won four of those. The Belarusian has won two of the last three editions of the Australian Open and can respond to the disappointment of losing last year’s final by taking the trophy in 2026.

Atletico Nacional are unbeaten in their last 10 competitive home games and should be able to kick off the new season with a victory over Chico, who finished the previous campaign with three losses. Both teams scored in four of Nacional’s last six games, however, and Chico have scored in each of the last six head-to-head meetings so the visitors can at least strike in defeat.

Bucaramanga finished 11 points ahead of Millionarios last season and they should be able to make the most of their home advantage here. Bucaramanga won seven of their 10 Clausura home games, while the visitors lost six of their 10 trips.

Bucaramanga finished 11 points ahead of Millionarios last season and they should be able to make the most of their home advantage here. Bucaramanga won seven of their 10 Clausura home games, while the visitors lost six of their 10 trips.

Sydney FC have a perfect record at home with three wins in as many games, and they are yet to concede in front of their own fans. The Sky Blues should be able to maintain their winning record against struggling Wellington, but the Phoenix can at least grab a consolation effort. The visitors have scored eight goals across five A-League trips and have scored in  of their  league assignments, hitting  19 goals in total.

Aston Villa are on an 11-game winning run across all comps at Villa Park and they should be able to claim a fairly comfortable win over Everton. The Villans have scored multiple goals in six of their last seven at home, while Everton arrive in mixed form with just one win and three defeats in their last seven games. Chelsea and Brentford have beaten Everton by more than one goal recently, and this in-form Villa side should be able to cover a -1 handicap.

Wolves endured a torrid first half of the season, but they head into this tie unbeaten in four games and have only lost one of their last seven home meetings with Newcastle, while the Magpies have only won two of their last nine away fixtures.

Aston Villa are on an 11-game winning run across all comps at Villa Park and they should be able to claim a fairly comfortable win over Everton. The Villans have scored multiple goals in six of their last seven at home, while Everton arrive in mixed form with just one win and three defeats in their last seven games. Chelsea and Brentford have beaten Everton by more than one goal recently, and this in-form Villa side should be able to cover a -1 handicap. Villa have conceded in each of their last three home games but no visiting team has managed to score more than once at Villa Park this season in any competition. Each of Everton’s last three away losses have come via two-goal margins so a 3-1 home win has a chance.

Wolves endured a torrid first half of the season, but they head into this tie unbeaten in four games and have only lost one of their last seven home meetings with Newcastle, while the Magpies have only won two of their last nine away fixtures. Four of the last seven meetings between these sides at Molineux have ended 1-1 and Wolves, unbeaten in four, have drawn two of their last four by a 1-1 scoreline.

Bologna should be backed to beat Fiorentina at home in Serie A on Sunday. The visitors are yet to win away this season – they have drawn five and lost five on the road – and Bologna can take advantage.

Strasbourg should be backed to beat Metz at home in Ligue 1 on Sunday. The visitors have lost eight of their last ten away games and Gary O’Neil’s side can take advantage.

Stuttgart have been ruthless at home this season and look well placed to claim another three points against Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. Stuttgart have won six of their eight home league games and arrive with momentum after a 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. They are perfect when priced as odds-on this season and have shown they can hurt strong opposition, averaging over 1.6 goals per game against top-half sides. Union Berlin’s away record is mixed and they face a step up in class here.

This is a meeting between the top two in La Liga 2 and Las Palmas arrive in the better form. Racing are on a four-game winless run and have lost their last two, going down 3-2 to Zaragoza in their last league game. Las Palmas won the reverse fixture 3-1 and are on a five-game unbeaten run, they can take the points here.

Mateus Mane has been one catalyst in Wolves’ recent revival and looks good value for a goal on Sunday. He has scored in his last two starts for the club and has three goal contributions this season.

Ollie Watkins looks to be back in form with four goals in his last four Premier League games. The England international was used sparingly in the FA Cup last time out and should come back in the starting side here, and he looks a strong contender for an anytime effort for Villa.

Atletico Madrid should be in control against Alaves in this La Liga clash, and that dominance could translate into goals. Diego Simeone’s side sit comfortably in the top four and have the firepower to punish an Alaves team that is badly out of form on the road. The visitors are winless in seven away league games and continue to concede regularly, while Atletico have already been involved in several high scoring home matches this season.

Eight of the last ten Africa Cup of Nations finals have gone under 1.5 goals and this latest one should follow suit. These two teams have only conceded three goals between them in 12 games at this tournament and another low-scoring affair looks likely.

Porto have scored in 19 of their last 20 league games and rarely shut matches down, even when in control. They arrive as runaway leaders of the Primeira Liga and have won 19 of their last 20 league matches overall. Guimarães are usually competitive at home but struggle defensively in this fixture, failing to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last ten home league games and in 18 of their last 19 meetings with Porto. With recent head to heads regularly producing goals, over 2.5 looks the sensible angle.

Goals could be at a premium when Nantes host Paris in Ligue 1 on Sunday, and under 2.5 goals looks the best bet. Nantes have scored an average of just 0.75 goals a game in their four Ligue 1 games against other teams in the bottom five this season, failing to score in two of those games. Paris, meanwhile, have failed to win three of their four away games against other bottom-half teams.

While both teams are rock-solid defensively, there is a possibility that Morocco have slightly more quality across the board and they could grind this result out. The Atlas Lions have won five of the last seven head-to-heads and have home advantage as the host nation.

Aston Villa are on an 11-game winning run across all comps at Villa Park and they should be able to claim a fairly comfortable win over Everton. The Villans have scored multiple goals in six of their last seven at home, while Everton arrive in mixed form with just one win and three defeats in their last seven games. Chelsea and Brentford have beaten Everton by more than one goal recently, and this in-form Villa side should be able to cover a -1 handicap.

Lyon have won their last five games across all competitions and have won six of their eight home Ligue 1 games. They should be able to see off poor travellers Brest, who have five defeats in eight league trips, but the visitors have gone six games without drawing a blank and can register a consolation effort.

Albacete pulled off a stunning giant killing last time out as they dumped Real Madrid out of the Copa del Rey but they could be brought back down to earth by Cadiz. Albacete have lost six of their  home games, while Cadiz sit 10 points above their hosts and come into this game in fine form with three wins in their last four game, drawing the other.

Aston Villa are on an 11-game winning run across all comps at Villa Park and they should be able to claim a fairly comfortable win over Everton. The Villans have scored multiple goals in six of their last seven at home, while Everton arrive in mixed form with just one win and three defeats in their last seven games. Chelsea and Brentford have beaten Everton by more than one goal recently, and this in-form Villa side should be able to cover a -1 handicap.

Albacete should be in confident mood after an incredible Copa del Rey win over Real Madrid in their last game but they may struggle to keep a clean sheet against Cadiz. Both teams have scored in five of Albacete’s last six games, while Cadiz have seen goals at both ends in seven of their last eight matches.

Both teams have scored in nine of Villa’s last 10 games and in each of Everton’s last three.

Both teams have scored in four consecutive Huesca games and that pattern could continue at Burgos, who have just one clean sheet in their last seven overall and score on average 1.2 goals per-game in the league.

Lyon have won their last five games across all competitions and have won six of their eight home Ligue 1 games. They should be able to see off poor travellers Brest, who have five defeats in eight league trips.

Barcelona are on an 11-game winning run across all competitions and should be able to make it 12 in a row at the Anoeta, where Real Sociedad have been uncharacteristically inconsistent this season. Goals haven’t been the problem for La Real, however, as they have scored in eight of their nine home league games and overall have scored in six successive games. Sociedad have also scored in games against Villarreal (L), Real Madrid (L) and Atletico Madrid (L) this season – and all three of those sides have conceded fewer league goals than Barcelona. So back the visitors to win and concede.

Milan are on a 19-game unbeaten run in Serie A and should have far too much for struggling Lecce, who have lost four of their last five games. The hosts have three clean sheets in their last five home games and have shipped just 16 goals in 20 league games. Lecce have failed to score in four of their last six games so a home win to nil stands out.

Malaga are unbeaten in seven in this competition and have won back-to-back road games, including an eye-catching 3-1 win at a decent Gijon outfit in their last trip. Cordoba sit ninth overall but they only have the 14th best home record in the division with just four wins in 10 games, and they look vulnerable against an in-form Los Albicelestes outfit.

Adrien Rabiot has been putting in consistently solid displays lately with assists against both Verona and Cagliari. He also scored against Torino in December and he appeals as a bit of an outside option to grab an anytime effort after scoring twice at Como on Thursday.

Raphinha should come back into the Barcelona starting side after coming off the bench at Racing, where he weighed in with an assist during his late cameo. The Brazilian has seven goals in total across his last three starts so he looks a strong contender for an anytime goal.

Pavel Sulc is Lyon’s leading scorer with eight goals in 16 Ligue 1 games. Sulc has six goals across his last five appearances in all competitions and he looks a strong contender for an anytime effort against Brest.

Lyon have won their last five games across all competitions and have won six of their eight home Ligue 1 games. They should be able to see off poor travellers Brest, who have five defeats in eight league trips, but the visitors have gone six games without drawing a blank and can register a consolation effort.

Barcelona are on an 11-game winning run across all competitions and should be able to make it 12 in a row at the Anoeta, where Real Sociedad have been uncharacteristically inconsistent this season. Goals haven’t been the problem for La Real, however, as they have scored in eight of their nine home league games and overall have scored in six successive games. Sociedad have also scored in games against Villarreal (L), Real Madrid (L) and Atletico Madrid (L) this season – and all three of those sides have conceded fewer league goals than Barcelona. So back the visitors to win and concede.

Harry Kane has 31 goals for Bayern Munich this season and has scored seven in his last seven appearances. He has netted six times in four Bundesliga meetings with RB Leipzig, including a hat-trick in the reverse fixture in August.

Juventus have won five of their last six Serie A games, and they have the best record in the league across that stretch. The Old Lady have beaten Cremonese 5-0 and Sassuolo 3-0 in their previous two games, while Cagliari have lost all four meetings with the top four this term.

Villarreal are second in La Liga’s form table across the last eight games, winning seven of those. The Yellow Submarine have won each of their last four on the road, while Betis have won once in five La Liga games.

Watford have won four straight Championship games, and they’re unbeaten in the league since December 6th. The Hornets have won three of their last four at Vicarage Road, while Millwall have a mixed return on their travels.

Ligue 1 leaders Lens have won seven straight games, while they’ve won all but one of their eight home matches this season. Auxerre have won once in six, suffering back-to-back defeats, while the visitors have also lost all of their meetings with the top four.

Bayern Munich have scored 66 goals in 17 Bundesliga games this season and have notched three or more in eight of their last nine, including each of their last four away games. They face a RB Leipzig side that have lost two of their last three outings by a 3-1 scoreline.

Inter lead Serie A and no side has played more matches with four or more goals. Seven of Inter’s twenty league games have gone over 3.5, while two of the last three meetings at Udinese finished over that line. Udinese have conceded a league-high thirty-two and are without a clean sheet in eight of their previous ten.

Borussia Dortmund have scored at least twice in six of their last seven Bundesliga matches. They are second with ten wins from seventeen, far above seventeenth-placed St Pauli. Dortmund have won four of their last six games, while St Pauli are winless in eight away matches.

It would be a major shock if Ligue 1 leaders Lens slip up against struggling Auxerre and the home side should make no mistake. There could be a few goals on show, too, as Lens have scored seven times in their last three games while the visitors have conceded eight times in their last three outings.

Nine of the last ten Eredivisie meetings between these sides have seen both teams find the net and a hefty away win looks likely for the league leaders PSV. The visitors are looking for their 13th straight win in the league and they are averaging just over three goals per game.

Both of these sides are in poor form but Sunderland have at least been drawing the majority of their games and the visit of out-of-sorts Crystal Palace looks a good chance to return to winning ways. The Eagles are winless in nine across all competitions and come into the game after a humiliating FA Cup exit at Macclesfield, while the Black Cats are on a nine-game unbeaten streak at home and recent draws against the likes of Arsenal and Man City on Wearside suggest they should be able to see off Palace.

Stoke are the bet at home to QPR on Saturday, they are going for a third successive Championship win and the visitors have lost three times in their last four away games in the Championship.

Luton are worth backing at home against Lincoln in this League One clash. Luton are unbeaten in seven league games on their own ground and have won four of their last six home fixtures, which underlines how difficult they have become to beat. They are also scoring freely, netting at least twice in five of their last six league matches, while Lincoln’s recent defensive record suggests they may struggle to cope.

Swindon sit second with 14 wins from 24 League Two games, while Salford are fourth with 13 wins. Swindon have kept four clean sheets in their last five matches, conceded 12 goals in 12 home games, and have won five of their last seven league fixtures, including the last two at home.

Villarreal have won five of their last six away games this season and could extend that run against a Real Betis side who have struggled against the top teams this term. The hosts’ inferior defensive record could be the difference between these two.

Wolfsburg look well placed to claim three points at home against bottom-side Heidenheim in the Bundesliga. The hosts are seven places higher in the table and arrive in strong scoring form, having found the net in ten straight league games and scoring at least twice in four of their last five. Heidenheim, by contrast, have lost seven of their last eight away matches, remain without a clean sheet all season and continue to leak goals at an alarming rate.

Juventus have won five of their last six Serie A games, and they have the best record in the league across that stretch. The Old Lady have beaten Cremonese 5-0 and Sassuolo 3-0 in their previous two games, while Cagliari have lost all four meetings with the top four this term.

Ligue 1 leaders Lens have won seven straight games, while they’ve won all but one of their eight home matches this season. Auxerre have won once in six, suffering back-to-back defeats, while the visitors have also lost all of their meetings with the top four.

Arouca can be backed to defeat an out-of-form AVS at Estadio do CD Aves. The hosts have struggled to find the net recently, failing to score in four of their last six Primeira Liga games.

Ajax’s last two Eredivisie home matches have been 2-0 wins and their unbeaten run now stands at six games with five wins in that sequence. A comfortable home win looks likely as Go Ahead are winless in eight.

Liverpool have rebounded following a miserable autumn and are unbeaten in 11 games. They have conceded nine goals in this period, though, while Burnley have scored in eight of their last nine awya games, losing seven times in this run.

Arsenal have won eight of their last ten games and each of their last five away matches, but they have just one clean sheet in their last seven assignments and face a Nottingham Forest side that have scored in four of their last five matches.

Both teams have scored in seven of the last nine Eredivisie meetings between these two and another lively encounter looks likely with AZ taking the points. It was 3-1 to Alkmaar when they met in the Dutch Cup last month and a similar outcome can be expected with PEC winning one of their last five.

PSV have won 12 straight league games and all nine of their Eredivisie trips this season. Fortuna Sittard have lost all of their clashes with the top three, but they haven’t failed to score in any of their nine home matches, while they netted twice in a defeat to PSV earlier this term.

Birmingham have lost nine times on their travels this season in the league, including six defeats in their last seven Championship trips. Swansea have won four straight home games, and they can see off a Blues outfit who have scored only eight times on the road this season.

Arsenal have won eight of their last ten games and each of their last five away matches, but they have just one clean sheet in their last seven assignments and face a Nottingham Forest side that have scored in four of their last five matches.

Luton are worth backing at home against Lincoln in this League One clash. Luton are unbeaten in seven league games on their own ground and have won four of their last six home fixtures, which underlines how difficult they have become to beat. They are also scoring freely, netting at least twice in five of their last six league matches, while Lincoln’s recent defensive record suggests they may struggle to cope.

Wrexham have been winners in six of their last eight home games in the Championship and they should be backed to get the victory over Norwich on Saturday.

Swindon sit second with 14 wins from 24 League Two games, while Salford are fourth with 13 wins. Swindon have kept four clean sheets in their last five matches, conceded 12 goals in 12 home games, and have won five of their last seven league fixtures, including the last two at home.

Bristol City are more prolific in front of goal than their hosts, and they should be backed to secure a win at Oxford on Saturday. They are tenth in the Championship, 13 places and 17 points above Oxford.

PSV have won 12 straight league games and all nine of their Eredivisie trips this season. Fortuna Sittard have lost all of their clashes with the top three, but they haven’t failed to score in any of their nine home matches, while they netted twice in a defeat to PSV earlier this term.

Villarreal have won five of their last six away games this season and could extend that run against a Real Betis side who have struggled against the top teams this term. The hosts’ inferior defensive record could be the difference between these two.

Goals are on the cards when Rio Ave host Benfica at Estadio do Rio Ave. Back over 3.5 goals – Benfica have scored in nine games in a row, including a 5-0 win over Arouca in October, and Rio Ave have played three Primeira Liga games in a row with four or more goals.

Cambridge were far from disgraced when losing 3-2 at home to Birmingham in the FA Cup, but they can respond in a positive manner by defeating Fleetwood at Highbury. Neil Harris’s side are chasing a third straight league win and should get it at the expense of Fleetwood, who are winless in five.

Alex H: Bristol City are pushing to break into the top six of the Championship but things look bleaker for Oxford who are 23rd following one win from their last seven league matches. Despite their struggles, the hosts really suffer big defeats, so back a low-scoring away win. 

Warren: Two of the bottom three meet in League Two, and hosts Shrewsbury are vulnerable after losing their last four league games. Harrogate picked up a good point at Crewe last weekend and then ran Stockport close in the EFL Trophy in midweek, so they can at least avoid defeat here. 

Aaron: Mechelen have scored in nine of their 10 away trips this season, while they’ve netted 14 times on their travels. USG have conceded in six of their last eight league games, while they’ve faced 5.6 xG across their last five home league matches. Five of Mechelen’s six clashes with the top six have finished with both teams scoring, so back more goals.

Aidan: Fulham are unbeaten in six, and they can build on an excellent record against Leeds, having won the last four meetings between the teams.

Alex W: Bayern Munich have scored 66 goals in 17 Bundesliga games this season and have notched three or more in eight of their last nine, including each of their last four away games. They face a RB Leipzig side that have lost two of their last three outings by a 3-1 scoreline.

Gareth: Mansfield have won their last three league games, and they beat Sheffield United in the cup last weekend. Despite that good form, they’re good value to see off rock-bottom port Vale, who are winless in seven trips.

Villarreal have won five of their last six away games this season and could extend that run against a Real Betis side who have struggled against the top teams this term. The hosts’ inferior defensive record could be the difference between these two.

Marseille are the best bet to win away at Angers on Saturday. They have only lost one of their last nine Ligue 1 games at Stade Raymond Kopa and have won four of their last six away games in the league.

PSV have won 12 straight league games and all nine of their Eredivisie trips this season. Fortuna Sittard have lost all of their clashes with the top three, but they haven’t failed to score in any of their nine home matches, while they netted twice in a defeat to PSV earlier this term.

Mechelen have scored in nine of their 10 away trips this season, while they’ve netted 14 times on their travels. USG have conceded in six of their last eight league games, while they’ve faced 5.6 xG across their last five home league matches. Five of Mechelen’s six clashes with the top six have finished with both teams scoring, so back more goals.
