Brighton have won four of their last five home league matches while Aston Villa have not beaten a current top-half club away from home and laboured in a 1-0 win over Wolves on Sunday.

Crystal Palace may have lost two games on the spin but they should be able to bounce back against a poor Burnley team who have lost nine of their 13 league games this season and rank last in lots of the Premier League’s statistical catgeories.

Arsenal have been very effective at home, winning each of their lats seven in all competitions. Meanwhile, Brentford have lost five of six Premier League away games. Both teams have scored in each of Arsenal’s last four games and in Brentford’s last three. There have also been goals at both ends in each of the last three meetings between these London rivals.

Chelsea have won five of their last seven Premier League games and are fancied to get the better of a Leeds side who have suffered six defeats in their last seven outings, despite the fact that Moises Caicedo will be absent for this one.

Liverpool can build on their win over West Ham by taking three points when Sunderland visit. The Reds have six wins in 10 home games and Sunderland have lost two of their last three trips, but the visitors should at least be able to get on the scoresheet as they have scored in five of their last six games.

Wolves are yet to keep a clean sheet at home in the Premier League but they have only failed to score themselves in one of their last eight home games across all comps. Forest have conceded in seven of their nine trips in all competitions so goals at both ends could be on the cards at Molineux.

Both teams have not scored in six of Napoli’s last seven matches with the Partonopei tighetening up at the back and offering less attacking threat since Kevin De Bruyne’s injury. Both teams have also not scored in the last three meetings of the clubs.

Arsenal have scored fewer than three goals in eight of their last nine Premier League games while Brentford have conceded fewer than three goals in their last eight league games. A tight contest is, therefore, anticipated – especially as it comes at the end of a tiring run of high-profile games for the Gunners.

Seven of the last eight head-to-heads between these two have gone under 2.5 goals and this could be another cagey affair given Real Madrid’s struggles on the road and the defensive solidity of Athletic Bilbao.

Chelsea have won five of their last seven Premier League games and are fancied to get the better of a Leeds side who have suffered six defeats in their last seven outings, despite the fact that Moises Caicedo will be absent for this one.

Crystal Palace may have lost two games on the spin but they should be able to bounce back against a poor Burnley team who have lost nine of their 13 league games this season and rank last in lots of the Premier League’s statistical catgeories.

Danny Welbeck has scored four goals in Brighton’s last three home Premier League games. The striker, who came off after 65 minutes against Forest on Sunday, has seven in total from 13 appearances at a rate of one every 123 minutes.

Alexander Isak got his first league goal for Liverpool against West Ham and he netted twice the last time that he played Sunderland so could end up on the scoresheet once again.

Mikel Merino may or may not be rested for this one ahead of a big game against Villa next weekend. But he still offers scoring potential as an impact substitute after registering expected goals of 0.55 and 0.65 in his last two starts. The Spaniard, since he has been deployed in attack by Arsenal, has scored nine goals and assisted five more in 21 games.

Estevao has been a revelation for Chelsea this season, scoring five goals in just 788 minutes of action in all competitions. The Brazilian youngster was taken off after Moises Caicedo’s red card at the weekend so should be fresh and can net.

Villa have failed to score in three of four away league games against top-half clubs and may struggle to impose themselves against a fresher Brighton side. The Seagulls have scored exactly two goals in four of their last six league games so a 2-0 win for the hosts is preferred.

Crystal Palace may have lost two games on the spin but they should be able to bounce back against a poor Burnley team who have lost nine of their 13 league games this season and rank last in lots of the Premier League’s statistical catgeories. Crystal Palace have won three games by a 2-0 scoreline, and Burnley have suffered two 2-0 defeats in their last four games, so a repeat of that is fancied in this clash.

For all their success so far this season, Bayern have kept only one clean sheet in their last seven matches in all competitions and both teams have scored in nine of their 11 away games. Union have scored 10 goals across seven home Bundesliga games and have scored in each of their last six home games against Bayern, including a 2-2 draw in early November in the league. 

Wolves are yet to keep a clean sheet at home in the Premier League but they have only failed to score themselves in one of their last eight home games across all comps. Forest have conceded in seven of their nine trips in all competitions so goals at both ends could be on the cards at Molineux.

Liverpool have been extremely leaky at the back this season and Sunderland could get on the scoresheet, as both teams have scored in four of their last five games.

Both teams have scored in each of Arsenal’s last four games and in Brentford’s last three. There have also been goals at both ends in each of the last three meetings between these London rivals.

Aberdeen are on a six-game unbeaten run and they can extend that with a victory over St Mirren, who have three defeats in their last four away from home.

Rangers have been better on their travels in the Premiership with 12 of their 22 points coming away from home. The visitors should be able to claim the points at Tannadice as they face a Dundee United side who are winless in four.

Venezia were relegated from the Italian top-flight last season and this looks a tall order for them at the San Siro, where Inter have won seven of their nine matches in all competitions this term. Five of Inter’s last seven wins have been bolstered by a clean sheet and this should be comfortable work.

Hamburg have won three of their last five home games and they should have too much for Kiel, who are struggling in the second tier and have three defeats in their last four games after stunning Wolfsburg in the previous round of this competition.

Over 2.5 goals has landed in four of Celtic’s last five games and in four of Dundee’s last five.

Over 3.5 goals has landed in four consecutive Bayern games. Union may be able to add to the total on Wednesday and these teams can combine for at least four goals in total.

For all their success so far this season, Bayern have kept only one clean sheet in their last seven matches in all competitions and both teams have scored in nine of their 11 away games. Union have scored 10 goals across seven home Bundesliga games and have scored in each of their last six home games against Bayern, including a 2-2 draw in early November in the league. 

Liverpool can build on their win over West Ham by taking three points when Sunderland visit. The Reds have six wins in 10 home games and Sunderland have lost two of their last three trips, but the visitors should at least be able to get on the scoresheet as they have scored in five of their last six games. 

Chelsea have won five of their last seven Premier League games and are fancied to get the better of a Leeds side who have suffered six defeats in their last seven outings. Leeds have scored in each of their last four home games and can at least strike in defeat. 

Internacional sit 17th in the Brazil Serie A and have lost eight of their last ten away games in all competitions, while Sao Paulo have taken seven points from their last four home assignments.

Palmeiras may be chasing top spot in the Brazil Serie A, but they have lost five of their last six away games and face an Atletico Mineiro side that are tough to beat on their own patch, with the hosts’ last home defeat coming in August.

Rock-bottom Sport Recife have lost their last five away games by an aggregate scoreline of 14-3 and look set for another miserable day out against a Bahia side that have won six of their last seven at home, keeping a clean sheet in five of these victories.

Fortaleza are on an eight-game unbeaten streak and have won their last three. They have taken seven points from their last three at home, while Corinthians have lost three of their last four on the road.

Tottenham visit St James’ Park off the back of a three-game losing streak, and the in-form Harvey Barnes could send Thomas Frank’s side to another disappointing result on Tuesday.The 27-year-old Newcastle attacker has scored seven times for the Magpies this season, including four goals in his last four, and he has more non-penalty expected goals than any other Newcastle player this season.

Athletic Bilbao have put together a good run of form at the San Mames this season, but Real Madrid are their toughest La Liga challenge yet and Kylian Mbappe is backed to put the Basque defence to the sword.Only Erling Haaland and Harry Kane have scored as many league goals as the France captain in Europe’s top five leagues this season, and his strike at Girona on Sunday followed a four-goal haul against Olympiacos last week.

Bryan Mbeumo has failed to score in his last two outings for Manchester United, but he can return to the scoresheet against a West Ham side with the joint-second-worst defensive record in the Premier League.The Cameroon international scored in Brentford’s home meeting with the Hammers last season to make it four goals in seven meetings with them, and he has seven goals for club and country this term.

A brace in a man-of-the-match performance against Osasuna on Saturday saw Vedat Muriqi surpass last season’s La Liga goals tally after just 13 appearances, and he can build on this performance at rock-bottom Real Oviedo on Friday.Four of Muriqi’s eight goals this season have come away from home, and the veteran centre forward can add to Oviedo’s woes.

Despite sitting a respectable tenth in the table, only three teams have conceded more Eredivisie goals than Heerenveen this season and their back line is set to come under siege from the best attack in the division.Table-toppers PSV have scored a league-high 44 goals in 14 games, and Guus Til has recorded almost a quarter of these strikes. His goal against Volendam at the weekend was his sixth in four games, and the 27-year-old has scored four goals in his last four meetings with Heerenveen.

Paris FC are putting in a good stint in their first season in Ligue 1 in almost half a century, and attacker Ilan Kebbal could help them to another positive result at Le Havre on Sunday.Following his sixth goal of the season against Auxerre last time out, only three players have scored more Ligue 1 goals than Kebbal this season, and he can continue his good form against a home side that have shipped four goals in their last two games.
