Manchester City already hold a 2-0 lead in this tie and with home advantage they can book their place in the final with another victory. City are in mixed form but their results at home remain excellent, with 14 wins in their last 17 at this venue. Newcastle have struggled on their travels all season and are in poor form overall, their EFL Cup defence looks set to end with a defeat at the Etihad on Wednesday.

Reason for tip

Full Time Result

City have only conceded three goals across their last eight home games and their defence is strong enough to hold out. City won the first leg 2-0 and have scored exactly twice in three consecutive games now, including a pair of 2-0 wins, so a repeat scoreline is the pick.

Correct Score

City could make few changes to the side that drew at Tottenham and Tijjani Reijnders is pushing for a recall. He came off the bench at Spurs and tried to make an impact as he had two attempts in his 22 minutes of action. Reijnders went on a run of four goals in six games through December and January and if he is handed a starting spot he looks a contender for an anytime strike.

Goal Scorer - Anytime

Sky Sports Football

These teams met five times in 2025 and both teams scored in four of those games, and goals at both ends looks likely again at Pittodrie. Aberdeen rarely draw a blank at home and they are facing a Celtic side who have scored in eight consecutive fixtures, conceding six goals in total themselves across their last four games.

Both Teams To Score

Celtic are the team in greater need of the points and in the better form. The Bhoys have five wins and no defeats in seven games since Martin O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s second return of the season as manager, while the Dons have seven defeats in their last 10 games. With goals at both ends predicted, a 3-1 win for the visitors has a chance.

Benjamin Nygren is the form man in the Celtic attack with has five goals in his last seven appearances, scoring in each of his last three appearances. The Swede sits second in the Premiership scoring charts with 12 goals and he can add to that at Aberdeen.

Premier Sports 2

Athletic Bilbao have lost seven of their 11 away trips this season, and the visitors head into this clash with only three wins across their last 12 games. Valencia have suffered only two home defeats this term and they beat Athletic 2-0 in September.

Both teams have scored in eight of Athletic&#8217;s last nine games, including each of their previous six. Valencia have seen BTTS land in five of their last six home games, so back the hosts to edge a 2-1 win over the road weary visitors.

Both teams to score has been a winning bet in nine successive Real Sociedad games and that pattern could continue on Wednesday. Alaves have scored in 11 of their 13 home games this season across all competitions, and they have kept just three clean sheets at the Mendizorrotza.

These in-form sides may cancel each other out. Sociedad have conceded exactly one goal in five successive away games &#8211; scoring six themselves over that period, while Alaves have only conceded more than one goal on two occasions at home all season so a 1-1 draw has a chance.

This is a meeting between two in-form sides and they should be able to combine for at least three goals. Accrington have scored seven goals in total across their last two games but have also conceded in both of those games, while over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in three of Salford&#8217;s last four road games and they have just one clean sheet in their last 11 trips.

Total Goals

Salford have won their last four away games in League Two and may be able to make it five in a row as when Stanley have faced the other member of the top four recently they’ve come up short, losing to both Bromley and MK Dons across their last five home games. Take a chance on a 2-1 win for the Ammies.

Salford&#8217;s Ryan Graydon is his side’s leading scorer this season with nine league goals and he’s managed four goals and two assists across his last five appearances in all competitions. He looks a contender to get on the scoresheet at the Wham Stadium.

Sky Sports Premier League

Goals at both ends has been a regular occurrence in Leeds’ home games with eight of their last 10 at Elland Road seeing both teams score. Leeds have scored themselves in 10 of their 12 home games, while Forest have scored in six of their last eight games across all competitions so both of these teams look capable of getting on the scoresheet.

A point would probably be viewed as a positive result by both teams, particularly the visitors, and Leeds have had a lot of stalemates recently with six of their last 11 games finishing all square. Forest score on average exactly one goal per-game in the Premier League and the Leeds attack averages 1.3 goals, so a 1-1 draw has a chance.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is Leeds&#8217; leading scorer with nine goals and is still making his presence felt in attack despite going three games without scoring. He can end his mini drought on Friday night.

<h1>The pendulum of power at Staples Center has officially swung. The LA Lakers, barely relevant enough for television face their in-city rivals the LA Clippers for the last time in the 2014-15 NBA season. Check out our game preview and betting tips.</h1>

The Los Angeles Lakers will have a hard time dropping any lower. They&#8217;ve lost five of their last six, they&#8217;re set to finish with one of the worst records in the NBA, one of the worst in franchise history and on Sunday they were annihilated on Sunday by the team they share their home court with.
It feels like head coach Byron Scott has spent most of this season &#8220;evaluating&#8221; this roster&#8217;s talent. He&#8217;s certainly managed to get the group to work hard, but it&#8217;s hard to believe that he&#8217;ll have too many positives to report back to the Lakers&#8217; brass when the season is done.
Nick Young and Wayne Ellington have joined Julius Randle, Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash on the list of players whose seasons have ended prematurely for LA, while even bright patches of play from Jeremy Lin and Jordan Clarkson have faded against a background of poor play from the Lakers of late.
It&#8217;s difficult to know where Lakers&#8217; fans should look for solace. Has Wesley Johnson&#8217;s slightly improved game given them cause for hope, or a few points for Tarik Black or Ed Davis? Things are tough for Laker Nation.
The Clippers are the franchise best-placed to know just how the Lakers feel. Few franchises have survived periods of losing records and ineptitude as the Clippers have. We can guarantee that that will only make the Staples Center&#8217;s &#8220;other team&#8221; all the more ruthless.
They showed in on Sunday when the starters came out for the start of the second half with an 11-point lead and dominated the third quarter to ensure the result could be nothing less than a blowout. The Lakers don&#8217;t really have an answer for the skill or power of DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin on that front-court. The two have exceptional records against their LA-rivals in general and on Sunday &#8220;Lob City&#8221; was in full motion with a number of thunderous dunks lighting up the crowd.
The Clippers are chasing seeding in the Western conference with as high as second position still conceivable. They&#8217;re just a game and half back of Houston and if the playoffs started today, they would own home court advantage over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Their one concern is the health of Jamal Crawford. A calf injury has kept him out for longer than expected, but a return is now listed as &#8220;probable&#8221; for tonight&#8217;s matchup.

<h2>LA Clippers v LA Lakers Point Spread Betting Tip</h2>
<a title="Click to claim!" href="https://bit.ly/bet365NBA">LA Clippers -17.0 at 10/11 with bet365!</a>
The Lakers will surely come out with greater determination than before and the Clippers are likely to have one eye on resting for the playoffs. However, the Lakers have lost their last three games all by spreads greater than this. They don&#8217;t have answer on the front court and this team&#8217;s resilience is clearly finally wearing down, especially against teams that can score.

The Clippers will be able to blow this spread open on their own especially with Crawford&#8217;s return potentially providing an added boost to the bench and team&#8217;s overall offensive capabilities.

Holstein Kiel vs Stuttgart

Stuttgart are in good scoring form having hit at least three goals in four of their seven games since the winter break across all comps. VfB are facing the lowest ranked side left in the competition and they should be able to score over 2.5 against second tier side Kiel on Wednesday.

Manchester City already hold a 2-0 lead in this tie and with home advantage they can book their place in the final with another victory. City are in mixed form but their results at home remain excellent, with 14 wins in their last 17 at this venue. Newcastle have struggled on their travels all season and are in poor form overall, their EFL Cup defence looks set to end with a defeat at the Etihad on Wednesday. City have only conceded three goals across their last eight home games and their defence is strong enough to hold out.

Athletic Bilbao have lost seven of their 11 away trips this season, and the visitors head into this clash with only three wins across their last 12 games. Valencia have suffered only two home defeats this term and they beat Athletic 2-0 in September. Both teams have scored in eight of Athletic’s last nine games, including each of their previous six. Valencia have seen BTTS land in five of their last six home games.

Over 3.5 goals has landed in three of Celtic&#8217;s last four games and Aberdeen triumphed 6-2 in their last home assignment. These teams met five times in 2025 and both teams scored in four of those games so goals at both ends look likely again at Pittodrie and these sides can combine for at least four goals.

Livingston vs Falkirk

Falkirk have an excellent opportunity to end their winless run against bogey team Livingston when they visit Almondvale on Wednesday. The Bairns are in good form with three wins in their last six games, losing two competitive games against Celtic and ousting Hearts from the cup on penalties during that run. Livi have endured a woeful season with 15 defeats and just one win in 24 games. A change in manager is unlikely to help the hosts and Falkirk are capable of coming away with maximum points.

Falkirk

Dundee vs Motherwell

Motherwell are one of Scotland&#8217;s form teams with 13 points from the last 15 available. The Well can continue their good run by beating Dundee &#8211; who have just one point to show from their last three games and have failed to score in all of those games.

Troyes vs Lens

Ligue 1 title contenders Lens head to Ligue 2&#8217;s Troyes in a game that should produce a few goals. Over 2.5 goals has landed in six consecutive Lens away games and they have scored 15 times themselves during that period. Troyes rarely draw a blank at home, scoring in all but one of their games at this venue this season, so these sides should be able to combine for at least three goals.

Barney Stewart hit a hat-trick in Falkirk&#8217;s 4-1 win over Hibs and had a few chances without scoring in the defeat to Celtic last time out. Stewart has settled in well after returning from a loan stint at Dunfermline and he can add to his haul for the season at Livingston.

Bet of the Day

City could make few changes and Tijjani Reijnders is pushing for a recall. He came off the bench at Spurs and had two attempts in his 22 minutes of action. Reijnders went on a run of four goals in six games through December and January and is averaging 0.6 shots on target per-game in the league and 0.8 in the Champions League.

Rayan Ait-Nouri has been fouled in each of his last two starts in the Premier League.

Lewis Hall has been fouled in seven of his last nine Premier League appearances and has been on the receiving end of multiple infringements in five of those games. He was fouled four times in the first leg.

Anthony Gordon has scored in two of his last four appearances and has had multiple attempts on goal in five of his last nine league outings and in four successive Champions League games. At some stage Newcastle will have to take a few risks and commit men forward so Gordon may at least be able to register two shots on goal.

Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva commits over a foul per-game on average in the Premier League and has made multiple fouls in four of his last six games, with 12 in total during that run.
