Borussia Dortmund beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 at the weekend and the pair meet in a rapid rematch in the German Cup on Tuesday. Dortmund won 2-1 despite having only 37 per cent of the possession and they will be confident of backing it up with another victory in front of the Yellow Wall.

City have won 18 straight matches against Fulham and can extend that record on Tuesday, although they have conceded in six of their last nine away fixtures and with their hosts in decent form, they may fail to keep a clean sheet once again.

Newcastle have won six matches on the spin at St James’, a run that includes beating Tottenham in the EFL Cup. The Magpies have now triumphed in four in a row and six of their last seven against Spurs, while the visitors are under pressure after losing three on the bounce.

Ipswich were beaten 2-1 at Oxford on Friday evening and their third match in just seven days could yield a similar scoreline. The Tractor Boys won 2-0 away at Hull last Tuesday but they are the model of inconsistency and their hectic schedule could catch up with them in this rearranged fixture following an abandonment earlier this season.

Bournemouth succumbed to a 3-2 loss at Sunderland on Saturday despite racing into a 2-0 lead at the Stadium of Light, but despite taking just one point from their last 12 on offer, they should be backed to get back on track at home to Everton. The Toffees looked shellshocked in their home hammering by Newcastle at the weekend and may struggle to recover on this long trip south.

Barcelona are a perfect seven wins from seven on their own patch in La Liga and they have scored 16 goals across their last four home fixtures alone. Atleti are in form so can contribute to a high-scoring game, but their recent record against Barca is poor.

The Toffees looked shellshocked in their home hammering by Newcastle at the weekend and may struggle to recover on this long trip south.

Audax Italiano are 16 points better off than their visitors and have won three of their last four home games, while Nublense head to Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida having drawn one and lost four of their last five on the road.

Independiente Medellin lost away to America de Cali last time out, but they were unfortunate to do so and should get payback at home. They outshot their opponents 18-12 in Cali, winning on expected goals 1.69-0.91. They are unbeaten in six at home and have conceded just three goals in this period, while America de Cali have lost three of their last four away games, the last two without scoring, and lost 3-0 here a couple of weeks ago.

Barcelona are a perfect seven wins from seven on their own patch in La Liga and they have scored 16 goals across their last four home fixtures alone. Atleti are in form and have scored in every domestic game this season, but their recent record against Barca is poor.

Tyler Adams scored a wonder goal for Bournemouth in the loss at the Stadium of Light on Saturday and the American should be backed to continue his upturn in form. Adams has bagged two goals in his last four outing, two more than in the whole of last season.

Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz stands out as a potential scorer after the Turkey international hit both goals in his side’s 2-1 win over Cagliari last time out, and he scored in the league meeting between these two sides in October.

Foden was the two-goal hero for City against Leeds at the weekend and he now has four goals in his last five club games. The England international is starting to rediscover his best form and could have another decisive role to play at Craven Cottage.

Harvey Barnes is a player in form, with seven goal involvements in his last nine games, six of which he has scored himself. The winger will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing a Spurs defence that has conceded 13 goals across their last four games alone.

Juventus have found some form with four wins and no defeats in their last seven games across all competitions. Those four wins have all featured at least three goals and Juve have just one clean sheet during that run, while Udinese may be able to add to the goals total as they have only failed to score in one of their seven away games this season. Udinese have three losses in their last five trips, including a 3-1 defeat at this venue in Serie A, so a Juventus win in a game with over 2.5 goals looks a solid option.

Barcelona are a perfect seven wins from seven on their own patch in La Liga and they have scored 16 goals across their last four home fixtures alone. Atleti are in form and have scored in every domestic game this season.

These sides have scored just 36 goals in 34 combined games this season and under 2.5 goals has landed in 11 of Wigan’s last 13 at home and in five of Burton’s last seven on the road.

Ipswich were beaten 2-1 at Oxford on Friday evening and their third match in just seven days could yield a similar scoreline. The Tractor Boys won 2-0 away at Hull last Tuesday but they are the model of inconsistency and their hectic schedule could catch up with them in this rearranged fixture following an abandonment earlier this season.

Newcastle have scored exactly two goals in each of their last three wins over Spurs, while their last two Premier League home victories at St James’, against Fulham and Manchester City, have finished 2-1. Spurs have scored on recent away trips to Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, losing both, and that trend can continue on Tuesday.

Barcelona have scored at least three goals in each of their last four home games, which includes a pair of 3-1 victories over Elche and Alaves. Atleti have netted in every domestic game this season and can keep that run going, but they are unlikely to be able to contain their hosts at the other end.

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.

Newcastle have won six matches on the spin at St James’, a run that includes beating Tottenham in the EFL Cup. The Magpies have now triumphed in four in a row and six of their last seven against Spurs, while the visitors are under pressure after losing three on the bounce.

Gimnasia have put together a four-game winning run and they look like backable underdogs ahead of the trip to Barracas. The hosts have won just one of their last 10 games and have two defeats in their last five at home, while Gimnasia have won each of the last four meetings between these sides. 

Galatasaray have dominated the Intercontinental Derby with five wins and just one defeat in their last eight meetings with Fenerbahce. Gala have five wins in six trips in Super Lig and have three wins in their last four trips to Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. Gala are the league leaders in Turkey and they can pull off a minor upset and see off Fener on Monday. 

Birmingham are one point ahead of Watford and they’ve beaten Norwich, Millwall, and Portsmouth across their last three at home, scoring 12 times. Watford have only managed one clean sheet in 17 league games, while they have one away win to their name this term. The Blues have gone three games without a clean sheet, however, so the visitors can at least grab a consolation effort. 

Valencia have one of the worst defensive records in La Liga, while they’re also poor going forward. They’ve scored only twice in their last five, while they meet a Vallecano side who haven’t conceded in their last three. The hosts solid defence gives them a platform for victory here as one goal may be enough to overcome Los Che. 

Braga’s backline has shown signs of weakness of late and there have been goals at both ends in each of their last five across all comps. Arouca have the division’s worst defensive record but they have scored a respectable 13 goals in 11 games themselves and have hit four goals across their last two games so both of these sides should be able to get on the scoresheet.

Gimnasia have put together a four-game winning run and they look like backable underdogs ahead of the trip to Barracas. The hosts have won just one of their last 10 games and have two defeats in their last five at home, while Gimnasia have won each of the last four meetings between these sides.

Birmingham are one point ahead of Watford and they’ve beaten Norwich, Millwall, and Portsmouth across their last three at home, scoring 12 times.

The hosts solid defence gives them a platform for victory here as one goal may be enough to overcome Los Che. 

Arouca sit second from bottom in Portugal’s top flight with six defeats in 11 games. Braga should have far too much for their hosts, who are conceding on average just under three goals per-game.

Bologna are unbeaten in 12 games and they’re aiming for a fourth win on the bounce. Cremonese have lost each of their last three Serie A outings, and they’re expected to fall short against a Rossoblu side who have put themselves in the mix for Europe once again.

Jay Stansfield has eight goals in 16 Championship games this season and the 23-year-old has been particularly impressive at St Andrew’s, scoring in four of his last five home appearances with six goals in total across those games. The Birmingham forward can add to his haul against Watford.

Santiago Castro should come back into the Bologna side after featuring from the bench in the Europa League and he looks a solid pick for an anytime effort. The Argentine forward has four Serie A goals for the season, three of which have come in his last four appearances.

Arouca have conceded 30 goals in 11 games, while they’ve shipped 13 across their last four. Arouca have lost four of their last five, while their struggling backline should have trouble keeping Braga quiet. The visitors are impressing going forward, so back them to record a routine 3-1 victory. 

Valencia have one of the worst defensive records in La Liga, while they’re also poor going forward. They’ve scored only twice in their last five, while they meet a Vallecano side who haven’t conceded in their last three. One goal may be enough for maximum points for the hosts so a 1-0 win for Rayo has a chance. 

Braga’s backline has shown signs of weakness of late and there have been goals at both ends in each of their last five across all comps. Arouca have the division’s worst defensive record but they have scored a respectable 13 goals in 11 games themselves and have hit four goals across their last two games so both of these sides should be able to get on the scoresheet.
