Nottingham Forest took four points off Liverpool last season, including being the only team to win at Anfield in the Premier League. With their form having improved under Sean Dyche and Liverpool’s own performances remaining under scrutiny, the Tricky Trees can leave Merseyside with another positive result.

Tranmere might be the value to overcome the difference in league positions when they host MK Dons on Saturday. The hosts are 16th and the visitors third, but a Tranmere victory is the best bet.

Juventus are on a four-game unbeaten run, but they’ve conceded in three of those matches. The Old Lady meet a Fiorentina side who are bottom after an 11-game winless stretch, while la Viola have lost five of their six clashes with the top seven, including scoring in home defeats to Roma, Napoli, and Como.

Mallorca have lost all but one of their six meetings with the top seven, so back third-placed Villarreal to cruise to three points after impressing at home. The hosts have scored 16 times in six home games, winning five.

PSG have won all but one of their home games in Ligue 1, while Le Havre have lost each of their clashes with the top six. The visitors have scored in three of those defeats, while PSG have conceded in seven of their last nine.

Eintracht Frankfurt look the stronger, more reliable side and should take advantage of Cologne’s ongoing defensive issues. The hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 of their last 20 Bundesliga home games, while Eintracht have lost just one of their last six and continue to offer consistent threat in the final third. With Frankfurt scoring in 14 of their last 16 league matches, they hold the clear edge.

Newcastle endured a difficult start to the season, but they have won four of their last six matches and each of their last five home games. They could upset the odds against a Manchester City side that have lost two of their five Premier League away games this season.

Lens look well positioned for another home win after dismantling Monaco 4-1 last time out. They’ve won six of their last eight in Ligue 1 and are riding a five-match winning streak at home. Strasbourg arrive out of sorts, winless in three away games and conceding heavily on the road, which plays straight into Lens’ attacking strengths.

Rangers have got their act together in the Scottish Premiership and are looking for a fourth successive league win here, but Livingston could still make their mark at Ibrox. The visitors have found the net in six of their last seven games and pushed the Gers all the way when they met in September.

Breda’s three wins this season have all come at home but they should be outclassed by leaders PSV, who have won all six of their away games. Both teams have scored in PSV’s last six matches, though, and that trend could continue.

USG have won all of their home league games by two clear goals this term, while Cercle Brugge have struggled to score goals on the road. The hosts should cruise to another victory as they look to pull away at the top of the table.

Newcastle endured a difficult start to the season, but they have won four of their last six matches and each of their last five home games. They could upset the odds against a Manchester City side that have lost two of their five Premier League away games this season.

Coventry lead the way in the Championship and have won eight of their last nine games. They are unbeaten at home this season and face a West Brom side that have lost four on the spin away from home.

Bolton look the best bet when they host Bradford at the Toughsheet Community Stadium on Saturday. The hosts have been solid home favourites and have won their last four League One home games in which they were odds-on.

Walsall have the better back line and are worth backing to get an away win at Harrogate on Saturday. The hosts have conceded 25 goals from their 16 games this season, while Walsall have shipped 17 in the same number of matches.

Osasuna’s form hasn’t been inspiring, but this is exactly the type of matchup where they can steady themselves. Real Sociedad remain unreliable on the road, winless in ten away league games and without a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20. With Osasuna competitive at El Sadar and Sociedad leaking goals almost every week, the hosts hold the value edge.

Augsburg may be out of form, but this matchup still tilts their way. Hamburg have major issues on their travels, conceding 11 goals in five away games and failing to win any of their last four Bundesliga matches. With Hamburg scoring just twice away all season, Augsburg’s home edge and the visitors’ ongoing struggles make the hosts the value call.

Fiorentina are winless this term, while Juve have won two of their last three Serie A games after sacking Igor Tudor.

Rennes look the better bet at home against a Monaco side leaking goals far too easily. The visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet in 16 of their last 20 league games and have conceded in nine straight away matches. Rennes, who have scored in nine of their last ten and average 1.8 goals against top-half opposition, are well placed to exploit those flaws.

Volendam’s Eredivisie wins this season have all been secured at home to three of the five teams below them in the table. Twente should prove a little better than that as they have won the teams’ last three meetings by an aggregate score of 12-2.

Only Rangers and table-toppers Hearts have beaten Hibernian this season and this looks a good opportunity for the Edinburgh side to add three more points to their tally. Dundee are struggling and may not be able to avoid a fourth successive Scottish Premiership defeat.

Coventry lead the way in the Championship and have won eight of their last nine games. They are unbeaten at home this season and face a West Brom side that have lost four on the spin away from home.

Mallorca have lost all but one of their six meetings with the top seven, so back third-placed Villarreal to cruise to three points after winning each of their last three. Villarreal have the second-best record in La Liga across their last six games.

Bologna have gone unbeaten in eight Serie A games, while they’ve won four of their last six. Udinese have lost four of their five meetings with top-half sides this term, including a 3-0 thumping at home to AC Milan.

Lens have the best record across the last six matches in Ligue 1, winning five of those. They’ve been fantastic at home, while Stasbourg have a patchy record on the road.

Burnley have the second-worst defensive record in the Premier League but have scored more than seven other teams. Over 2.5 goals has landed in five of their last seven fixtures and in seven of Chelsea’s last eight.

Brighton have scored ten goals in five Premier League home games this season and over 2.5 goals has landed in their last four at the Amex Stadium, while Brentford have seen three or more goals in four of their seven away fixtures and have conceded two goals per away game in the Premier League this term.

Celtic have been involved in some high-scoring games recently and over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in five of their last six across all competitions, while their Premiership games are averaging just over 2.5 goals. Each of St Mirren’s last four has seen at least three goals scored. Both defences look vulnerable so both sides should be able to contribute and combine for at least three goals.

Barcelona have won nine of their 12 league games this season and are the highest-scorers in La Liga, having netted 26 times in that run.  They are fancied to get the better of Athletic Bilbao, who have been poor on the road, in a game which also goes over 2.5 goals.

Crystal Palace have won seven of their last nine meetings with Wolves and can rack up plenty of goals against a home defence that has conceded three or more in each of their last four games. Rob Edwards’ first game in charge of the Old Gold looks set to end in defeat.

Coventry lead the way in the Championship and have won eight of their last nine games. They are unbeaten at home this season and face a West Brom side that have lost four on the spin away from home.

Ian: Killie have conceded 14 times across their five straight defeats, while they’ve won once in six at home. Motherwell impressed ahead of the international break and they’re backed for all three points.

Dan: Leyton Orient have been impressive in front of goal this term, so back them to have too much for a Blackpool side who are struggling with injuries and in the drop zone.

Gareth: Portsmouth have claimed only two points from their last six matches, while Millwall have impressed on the road and they head to Fratton Park in solid form.

Joe: Wolves have lost nine of their first 11 Premier League games, while they face a strong Palace side who have won three of their last four.

Alex: Lens are only two points off the top in Ligue 1 and they’re backed to add to their return of five wins from six at home this term.

Aaron: Bologna have gone unbeaten in eight Serie A games, while they’ve won four of their last six. Udinese have lost four of their five meetings with top-half sides this term, including a 3-0 thumping at home to AC Milan.

The league table shows these sides’ contrasting fortunes, with Cardiff possessing a clear edge in the standings, and they are the best bet to get an away win at Northampton on Saturday.

Philippe Clement has accepted the challenge of trying to lead Norwich away from the relegation zone, but the size of his task could become apparent after this weekend’s trip to Birmingham. Norwich haven’t won since August and they look no match for the Blues, who are extremely strong on home soil.

Ipswich have been steadily improving and they can extend their unbeaten sequence to five by defeating Wrexham at Portman Road. Kieran McKenna’s side have won two of their November fixtures by a 4-1 scoreline and they can sweep aside the Dragons, who are winless in four on their travels.

It has been profitable backing Swindon this season, and they are worth backing again when they are favourites away to Grimsby on Saturday. Ian Holloway’s side have won eight of their 12 games as favourites, resulting in a 4.05-unit profit.

A Bournemouth attack spearheaded by the irresistible Antoine Semenyo should carve out plenty of chances against West Ham, who conceded twice in victory at home to Burnley recently and are without a clean sheet in eight. However, back-to-back wins have installed plenty of belief back into the Hammers and the Cherries have shipped ten goals in four league outings.

Atalanta’s first 11 league games have seen both teams score on seven occasions, while la Dea are expected to improve going forward after Ivan Juric’s departure. Napoli have kept only two clean sheets in five home games, while Atalanta have conceded in six of their last seven matches, winning none.

Both teams to score looks the standout angle. Wolfsburg’s defence has been unreliable for a long time, failing to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 home league games, while Leverkusen have conceded in all four of their away matches this season. With Leverkusen scoring freely and BTTS landing in eight of their last ten Bundesliga road games, neither back line convinces.

Ajax are a short price for a team who have won only one of their last eight games but they should get the job done against struggling Excelsior. A better bet, though, may be to take both teams to score as Ajax haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 13 matches.

Brighton have scored ten goals in five Premier League home games this season and over 2.5 goals has landed in their last four at the Amex Stadium, while Brentford have seen three or more goals in four of their seven away fixtures and have conceded two goals per away game in the Premier League this term.

There is uncertainty around Marco Silva’s long-term future at Fulham, which could give Sunderland a shot at another good away result. The Black Cats have avoided defeat in eight of their last nine Premier League games, winning two and drawing one of their last four away league trips.

Nottingham Forest took four points off Liverpool last season, including being the only team to win at Anfield in the Premier League. With their form having improved under Sean Dyche and Liverpool’s own performances remaining under scrutiny, the Tricky Trees can leave Merseyside with another positive result.

Crystal Palace have won seven of their last nine meetings with Wolves and can rack up plenty of goals against a home defence that has conceded three or more in each of their last four games. Rob Edwards’ first game in charge of the Old Gold looks set to end in defeat.

Newcastle endured a difficult start to the season, but they have won four of their last six matches and each of their last five home games. They could upset the odds against a Manchester City side that have lost two of their five Premier League away games this season.

A Bournemouth attack spearheaded by the irresistible Antoine Semenyo should carve out plenty of chances against West Ham, who conceded twice in victory at home to Burnley recently and are without a clean sheet in eight. However, back-to-back wins have installed plenty of belief back into the Hammers and the Cherries have shipped ten goals in four league outings.

Danny Welbeck has been Brighton’s star attacker this season and has scored six goals in his last six Premier League appearances, while he has four goals in seven previous meetings with Brentford.

Harry Wilson has scored in two of Fulham’s last three home league matches. He is coming off a first international hat-trick for Wales and should be full of confidence.

Morgan Gibbs-White hadn’t scored this season prior to Sean Dyche’s arrival at Nottingham Forest, but he now has three in five games under the former Everton boss. The England international has scored in his last two Premier League matches and he can continue his hot streak on Saturday.

Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta reached double figures for the season while away with France over the international break and he will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing the Premier League’s leakiest defence. Both of Mateta’s previous goals against Wolves have come at Molineux.

Nick Woltemade’s arrival sparked Newcastle’s revival earlier this season, and he heads into this tie having scored six times for his new club, while a trio of goals for Germany in the international break leaves him with eight goals in his last 14 outings for club and country.

Breda’s three wins this season have all come at home but they should be outclassed by leaders PSV, who have won all six of their away games. Both teams have scored in PSV’s last six matches, though, and that trend could continue.

Juventus are on a four-game unbeaten run, but they’ve conceded in three of those matches. The Old Lady meet a Fiorentina side who are bottom after an 11-game winless stretch, while la Viola have lost five of their six clashes with the top seven, including scoring in home defeats to Roma, Napoli, and Como.

PSG have won all but one of their home games in Ligue 1, while Le Havre have lost each of their clashes with the top six. The visitors have scored in three of those defeats, while PSG have conceded in seven of their last nine.

PSG have won all but one of their home games in Ligue 1, while Le Havre have lost each of their clashes with the top six. The visitors have scored in three of those defeats, while PSG have conceded in seven of their last nine.

Mallorca have lost all but one of their six meetings with the top seven, so back third-placed Villarreal to cruise to three points after impressing at home. The hosts have scored 16 times in six home games, winning five.

Atalanta’s first 11 league games have seen both teams score on seven occasions, while la Dea are expected to improve going forward after Ivan Juric’s departure. Napoli have kept only two clean sheets in five home games, while Atalanta have conceded in six of their last seven matches, winning none.

Celtic have been involved in some high-scoring games recently and over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in five of their last six across all competitions, while their Premiership games are averaging just over 2.5 goals. Each of St Mirren’s last four has seen at least three goals scored. Both defences look vulnerable so both sides should be able to contribute and combine for at least three goals.

Le Havre have suffered heavy defeats to Marseille and Monaco this term, so expect them to struggle in Paris. The hosts have a key week ahead, so back them to score a few goals in a routine win.

Villarreal have won their last three La Liga games by an aggregate of 8-0, while Mallorca have conceded three times in defeats to Barcelona, Real Betis, and Espanyol this term.

Kohr has five yellow cards to his name in the Bundesliga this season, a joint-high across Europe’s top five leagues. Kohr has made the second-most fouls for Mainz in the league this term, while he has also been booked in the Conference League and German Cup.

Hillen missed NAC Breda’s last game through suspension, after racking up his fifth caution of the Eredivisie campaign in just 10 appearances. His side host PSV on Saturday, with the Dutch giants winning six of their last seven games in emphatic fashion.

Donnum picked up four bookings across a five-game stretch between late August and early October. He has been booked in three of his six home appearances this term, and faces an Angers side who have lost only once in their last five games.

Lozano is one of only two players across Europe’s top five leagues to commit more than 30 fouls so far this season. Sevilla rank sixth in La Liga for fouls committed by opponents this term, while they lead the league in bookings with 41. Their games tend to get fiery, so there’s value in targeting a player who stands out across the continent for his fouls this season to pick up another card.

Levante’s only wins have come at their fellow bottom three sides, while they’ve scored in six of their first seven away games. The defensive solidity Valencia found at the end of last term has abandoned them, with the club conceding in six of their last seven. However, only third-placed Villarreal have shut them out at home.

Marseille have lost three of their first four visits to top-half sides. Rivals Nice should pose a tough test, especially as the hosts have scored 10 times in six home games so far. The visitors have scored 28 goals in 12 league matches, so back both teams to score.

Liverpool’s defensive issues have led to five defeats in six league games, so Forest should cause problems at Anfield again. Sean Dyche’s side have beaten Leeds 3-1 and drawn 2-2 with Manchester United across their last two league games. Arne Slot’s side have scored in all five of their home league games this term, while Forest are yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels.

Sunderland have scored and conceded in each of their last three following a 2-2 draw with Arsenal. Hosts Fulham have lost five of their last six matches, but home wins over Brentford, Leeds, and Wolves suggest they can be competitive in this one.

Aston Villa have kept only one clean sheet on their travels so far this season, but they head into this game with five wins from six in the league. Leeds have scored in four of their five home league games, but they’ve lost four of their last five in the Premier League.

Defensive issues continue to plague AC Milan, who drew 2-2 at Parma in their last game. Inter have conceded at home to Sassuolo and Cremonese, while they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Udinese. AC Milan haven’t failed to score at San Siro this season, but both teams have scored in four of their last five Serie A matches.
