Special Offer Tips

These teams are locked on 18 points and both sit in the drop zone. Tondela have found a bit of form as they made it four games unbeaten by winning at Estrella last time out, while Santa Clara are on an 11-game winless run with five defeats in their last six. Tondela can make the most of home advantage and pick up the points here.

Arsenal beat Chelsea in both legs of their EFL Cup semi-final and can continue their dominance over the Blues on Sunday. The Gunners have won seven of the last 10 meetings between these sides, with no defeats, and have won 10 of their 13 home Premier League games. Chelsea slipped to a 1-0 defeat at this venue in the EFL Cup but that is the only one of their last 11 away games in which they have failed to score, and Arsenal have conceded in each of their last three Premier League games. 

Hamburg’s defence has shipped at least two goals in three of their last five home games. They have also scored multiple goals in those three games and this has the potential to be a high-scoring affair. These sides can combine for at least four goals.

Cadiz are on a six-game winless run, with five defeats, and they look set for another defeat at Eibar, who have 30 points from 14 home games and are on a five-game winning streak at this venue.

Brest won the reverse fixture 3-2 and goals at both ends could be on the cards again when these sides meet on Sunday. Both teams have scored in four of Metz’s last sim home Ligue 1 games and in six successive away games for Brest across all competitions.

These two teams met just two days ago and the Pelicans won in convincing fashion, leading by as many as 27 points in the win. They’re the more in-form team having won 3 games in a row, the Jazz just aren’t looking to win right now with most of their top players out injured. NOLA has won 6 straight meetings, make it 7 in a row after Saturday’s clash.

Toronto is one the elite road teams in the league at 18-10 ATS/SU, playing a Wizards side that’s gone just 2-6 ATS/SU in their last 8 games. Washington has dropped 3 straight games by 17, 21 and 30 points. This team is clearly tanking, Toronto can dominate right from the tip.

NOLA has won 6 straight meetings, make it 7 in a row after Saturday’s clash.

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.

Rangers have been in fantastic attacking form of late, scoring 20 goals across their last five games and winning their last six home games by an aggregate scoreline of 26-3, while Celtic have conceded twice or more in three of their last four and lost 3-1 to Rangers in January.

Brighton have struggled to make an impact going forward of late, with seven of their last eight going under 2.5 goals and each of their last six featuring fewer than three goals. Nottingham Forest are the second-worst goalscorers in the Premier League, and under 2.5 goals has landed in five of their last six league assignments.

Raul Jimenez bagged a brace for Fulham last weekend against Sunderland and may be worth sticking with to get on the scoresheet again. He is the Cottagers designated penalty taker and has three in his last four matches.

Arsenal’s Viktor Gyökeres has hit some form after his double against Tottenham – meaning he has now scored seven goals in total across his last 10 games. He scored in the EFL Cup win at Chelsea and will be on spot kick duties on Sunday, so he appeals for an anytime effort.

Corentin Tolisso has scored in back-to-back games for Les Gones and could be needed to provide more of a goal threat if top scorer Pavel Sulc doesn’t make it back from injury.

Christoph Baumgartner scored a brace against Dortmund last week to take his Bundesliga goals tally into double figures. He looks like the most likely scorer for the visitors against a Hamburg defence that has shipped at least two goals in three of their last five home games.

Donyell Malen has rediscovered his best form in Italy with five goals in his last six appearances.

James Tavernier has scored six goals in his last seven appearances for Rangers and contributed an assist last weekend, while he has seven goals and seven assists against Celtic.

All five of Casemiro’s Premier League goals this season have come from set pieces – a weakness of Crystal Palace, who have conceded 13 in total and five from their last 13 goals allowed.

Raul Jimenez bagged a brace for Fulham last weekend against Sunderland and may be worth sticking with to get on the scoresheet again. He is the Cottagers designated penalty taker and has three in his last four matches.

Jack: Valencia have lost four of their last five, but that quartet of defeats all came against opponents who start round 26 in the top eight of La Liga and the visit of Osasuna looks a winnable assignment for Los Che.

Tom: Fulham have won seven of their 13 home matches and only tasted defeat four times in front of their own fans, with Marco Silva’s side only tasting defeat in one of their last six at Craven Cottage. Tottenham boss Igor Tudor has labelled the club’s relegation fight as the toughest of his career and his side have only won two of their last 11 away games.

Jamie: Rock-bottom Metz have struggled on their top-flight return and 13 points from their opening 23 Ligue 1 games suggests they will be back in the second tier before they know it. Brest can add to their woes with a win on the road on Sunday.

Aaron: Roma have won nine of 10 home meetings with teams outside the top four, while Juve have lost all three of their visits to the top six. A bad week could get even worse for Luciano Spalletti’s side.

Tom: Eintracht Frankfurt may be starting to turn a corner under new head coach Albert Riera, whose only defeat since taking charge was a narrow 3-2 loss at Bayern Munich. Riera’s first home match in the hotseat ended in a resounding 3-0 success over Borussia Monchengladbach and his new side should prove too strong for poor travellers Freiburg on home soil as well.

Enda: Nottingham Forest have endured a tough week. Vitor Pereira’s side were mugged by Liverpool on Sunday and then made to sweat as Fenerbahce won at the City Ground but couldn’t prevent the Tricky Trees going through in that Europa League tie. A level game at the break is very possible and Brighton have held Forest scoreless in four of the last five league clashes at the Amex so they can forge on in the second half again.

Lorient have won six of their last eight across all competitions and are unbeaten in 10 at home. The European hopefuls should have too much for Auxerre, who have six defeats in their last nine games and have managed a measly six points from 11 Ligue 1 trips this season.

Arsenal beat Chelsea in both legs of their EFL Cup semi-final and can continue their dominance over the Blues on Sunday. The Gunners have won seven of the last 10 meetings between these sides, with no defeats, and have won 10 of their 13 home Premier League games.

Atalanta look the best bet away at Sassuolo. They are unbeaten in nine Serie A games, have won seven of those and come into this on a three-match winning run. Their attack is in strong shape too, while Sassuolo continue to look vulnerable defensively, especially against better sides.

Nice look the better bet away at Paris. The hosts are in poor form, with one win in their last ten league matches and no home victory in eight. They are struggling for goals, failing to score in four of their last six at home, which gives Nice an edge.

Manchester United have won their last three home games and five of their six since Michael Carrick took over. They should have enough quality to overcome a Palace side that are drifting under Oliver Glasner. But the Eagles have scored in 13 of their last 14 away games so back both teams to score too.

Club Brugge return to league action after their Champions League exit and they should be able to overcome Charleroi, but they may concede in the process. The hosts have lost their last four across all comps but scored in those defeats, while Club Brugge have seen goals at both ends in each of their last four games and they have conceded in 11 straight road games.

Marseille have lost three of their last six matches with two draws and seem too short in the betting to beat a Lyon side that were on a 13-match winning streak until last weekend. The visitors have won six of their last eight away games and can cause a minor upset with a win at the Veldorome, but L’OM have scored two or more in three consecutive home games and are unlikely to draw a blank even if they are unable to claim a share of the spoils.

Brighton have struggled to make an impact going forward of late, with seven of their last eight going under 2.5 goals and each of their last six featuring fewer than three goals. Nottingham Forest are the second-worst goalscorers in the Premier League, and under 2.5 goals has landed in five of their last six league assignments.

Arsenal beat Chelsea in both legs of their EFL Cup semi-final and can continue their dominance over the Blues on Sunday. The Gunners have won seven of the last 10 meetings between these sides, with no defeats, and have won 10 of their 13 home Premier League games.

Eight of Fulham’s last ten matches in all competitions have seen both teams find the net and over 2.5 goals both land. A repeat of that looks likely given the fact that the hosts have not kept a clean sheet in their last 11 games and Spurs leaked four against Arsenal last time out.

Manchester United have won their last three home games and five of their six since Michael Carrick took over. They should have enough quality to overcome a Palace side that are drifting under Oliver Glasner. But the Eagles have scored in 13 of their last 14 away games so back both teams to score too.

These teams are locked on 18 points and both sit in the drop zone. Tondela have found a bit of form as they made it four games unbeaten by winning at Estrella last time out, while Santa Clara are on an 11-game winless run with five defeats in their last six. Tondela can make the most of home advantage and pick up the points here.

Gijon have the play-off spots in sight and seven points to show from their last three home games. The hosts look well placed to claim the spoils against mid-table Leganes, who have lost their last three away assignments.

Cercle Brugge have found some form with four wins and just one defeat in their last eight games. They should be able to overcome a Dender side who are on a four-game losing streak.

Midtylland are on a five-game winning run across all competitions and they remain unbeaten at home this season in the Superliga with seven wins in 10 games. They should have far too much for Brondby, who are on a six game winless run (D2, L4) and have gone three games without scoring.

Lorient have won six of their last eight across all competitions and are unbeaten in 10 at home. The European hopefuls should have too much for Auxerre, who have six defeats in their last nine games and have managed a measly six points from 11 Ligue 1 trips this season.

Brest won the reverse fixture 3-2 and goals at both ends could be on the cards again when these sides meet on Sunday. Both teams have scored in four of Metz’s last sim home Ligue 1 games and in six successive away games for Brest across all competitions.

Frankfurt have conceded in six of their last eight home games but they’ve also scored in six of those games themselves. Freiburg have conceded in seven of their last eight away games, and both teams have scored in each of the last four meetings between these two sides.

Goals at both ends has been a regular feature of Las Palmas’ games of late, landing in seven of the last eight. La Cultural have seen goals at both ends in seven of their last nine.

Club Brugge return to league action after their Champions League exit and they should be able to overcome Charleroi, but they may concede in the process. The hosts have lost their last four across all comps but scored in those defeats, while Club Brugge have seen goals at both ends in each of their last four games and they have conceded in 11 straight road games.

Marseille have lost three of their last six matches with two draws and seem too short in the betting to beat a Lyon side that were on a 13-match winning streak until last weekend. The visitors have won six of their last eight away games and can pull off a bit of an upset at the Velodrome. Lyon have been scoring freely away from home of late, netting five in a win at Metz and six at Maccabi Tel Aviv. But they have conceded multiple goals in two of their last three road trips an could be vulnerable at the back against a Marseille side that has scored two or more in three consecutive home games. A 3-2 away win could be on the cards if this game fulfils its potential.

Arsenal beat Chelsea in both legs of their EFL Cup semi-final and can continue their dominance over the Blues on Sunday. The Gunners have won seven of the last 10 meetings between these sides, with no defeats, and have won 10 of their 13 home Premier League games. Chelsea slipped to a 1-0 defeat at this venue in the EFL Cup but that is the only one of their last 11 away games in which they have failed to score, and Arsenal have conceded in each of their last three Premier League games. The hosts have scored at least three goals in three of their last four home games in all competitions and average just under three goals per-game at this venue for the season in the league, so a 3-1 home win seems reasonable.

Christoph Baumgartner scored a brace against Dortmund last week to take his Bundesliga goals tally into double figures. He looks like the most likely scorer for the visitors against a Hamburg defence that has shipped at least two goals in three of their last five home games.

Donyell Malen has rediscovered his best form in Italy with five goals in his last six appearances.

Corentin Tolisso has scored in back-to-back games for Les Gones and could be needed to provide more of a goal threat if top scorer Pavel Sulc doesn’t make it back from injury.

Lyon have been scoring freely away from home of late, netting five in a win at Metz and six at Maccabi Tel Aviv. But they have conceded multiple goals in two of their last three road trips an could be vulnerable at the back against a Marseille side that has scored two or more in three consecutive home games. These sides should be able to combine for at least three goals if this game fulfils its potential.

Roma have won six of their last eight home games with fewer than four goals in five of those wins. Meanwhile, Juventus have lost their last three away games in all competitions and could be set for a Champions League hangover after crashing out of Europe in midweek.

Both teams have scored in four of Girona’s last five games and in four of Celta’s last five away games across all competitions.

Cadiz are on a six-game winless run, with five defeats, and they look set for another defeat at Eibar, who have 30 points from 14 home games and are on a five-game winning streak at this venue.

Sunderland have been poor travellers this season and Leeds need the points more than the Black Cats so I think it will be a home win for the Whites at Elland Road on Tuesday. Sunderland have won just twice away from home all season and while Leeds’ home form has been mixed, they can pick up an important three points as they look to move further away from trouble.

This will be a game the Hammers will have targeted in their bid to get out of the bottom three. A late Raul Jimenez goal was the difference between the sides in the reverse fixture in December, when West Ham were arguably in their worst form. They look a different team now and with Fulham not keeping a clean sheet since that win at the London Stadium, Nuno will believe that his refreshed squad can take advantage.

Chelsea look a decent price away at Aston Villa, who have been struggling recently. The goals have dried up for Unai Emery’s men recently and the same can’t be said for the Blues under Liam Rosenior. Chelsea have also been better away from home under their new boss than at Stamford Bridge.

These two sides are meeting in the knockouts for the fifth straight year, and Real Madrid have won three of the previous four meetings, including the last two. The Spanish giants have won eight of their last 10 under new boss Arbeloa at the time of the draw, and they are one of the few sides in Europe with the individual talent to match City.

While Chelsea beat PSG 3-0 in the summer’s Club World Cup, Enzo Maresca’s tactical tweaks were key in that victory. Months on, and the Blues look to have gone backwards. PSG clearly took issue with the Blues, and they can claim some revenge after eliminating three Premier League sides on their way to last season’s final.

Sporting are arguably the weakest of the top-eight sides, while Bodo have won four straight European games including home and away victories over Inter Milan. The Norwegian side went to the semis in the Europa League last year, and they can see off a Sporting side who overperformed their xG numbers at a huge rate in the League Phase.

Atletico Madrid were handily beaten by Arsenal and Liverpool in the League Phase, while they were a mess defensively against Club Brugge in the last round. Spurs won all four home games on their way to finishing fourth in the first round, and they can match an Atletico side who have been far from dominant in Europe in recent seasons.

Liverpool look like the best value pick, with the Reds putting their struggles behind them with an eight-game unbeaten run. The Reds have the fourth-best Expected Goals record across the first six Champions League gameweeks, while they’ve recorded back-to-back 1-0 wins over Real Madrid and Inter Milan in Europe. Arne Slot’s side have a kind double-header in January, leaving them primed for a top-eight finish. With the Premier League coasting towards a fifth Champions League berth, the Reds should be in a good position to focus on European success in the spring.

Spain have some incredibly talented individuals, Lamine Yamal being the prime example, but are strong in all areas and don’t have any particular weaknesses. They won Euro 2024 with relative ease and they should be too good for their continental rivals at the World Cup. They also look a level above South American heavyweights Argentina and Brazil, suggesting they will be the team to beat at the World Cup this summer.

Sporting Kansas picked up just one point from their final six games last season and a 3-0 defeat to San Jose in their opener this term suggests they may struggle again. Columbus look a level above their hoists and the Crew can claim maximum points at SKC

Cincinnati have hit the ground running this season with a victory over Atlanta and a Champions Cup demolition over Dominican opposition. Minnesota drew their opener and could fall short against Cincy, who have won their last two trips to this venue.

Real Salt Lake were far better at home than they were on their travels last term with 28 of their 44 points coming in Utah. Seattle lost eight of their 17 regular season trips last season and are worth opposing here.

Sporting Kansas picked up just one point from their final six games last season and a 3-0 defeat to San Jose in their opener this term suggests they may struggle again. Columbus look a level above their hoists and the Crew can claim maximum points at SKC

LAFC made a statement with a 3-0 home win over Inter Miami in their opener but their defence has been less impressive in road games and backing both teams to score looks a good angle when they head to Houston. Both teams have scored in five of Dynamo’s last six home MLS games and they have scored in all of those, while LAFC have seen goals at both ends in each of their last four competitive away games.
