Special Offer Tips

Barcelona have won all 13 of their home matches this season, but they are in the middle of a Champions League last 16 tie. They meet a Sevilla side who have scored in their last eight league games, while BTTS has landed in four straight meetings between the pair.

Freiburg are strong at home, winning six of their last eight Bundesliga matches on their own ground and going 11 home games without defeat. They sit three places above Union Berlin, who have won just one of their last ten league matches and arrive on the back of five defeats in seven.

It should be a cracking clash for two teams looking for Champions League qualification but Stuttgart, who have lost just one of their last 12 league games, just look to hold the edge.

Milan are unbeaten on their travels in Serie A this season and off the back of last week’s derby success over Inter, which has reignited their title hopes, they can get the better of an underwhelming Lazio side that have won just three of their last 13 league fixtures.

Suditrol could use a boost after winning only one of their last four, and they host bottom side Pescara on Sunday. The hosts have won and conceded in three of their four home meetings with the bottom five, and they drew 1-1 at the basement club earlier this season. Pescara average over a goal per game on their travels, and they’ve shown positive signs by scoring eight goals across a three-game unbeaten run.

Real Betis look the best bet at home to Celta Vigo. They sit fifth and have been strong at the Villamarin, losing only one of their last eight home league games. Betis also score plenty against top-half opponents, while Celta’s defence has been shaky lately, without a clean sheet in five of their last seven. Betis should have enough to get the win.

The Sixers are showing signs of fatigue, which isn’t surprising given how many minutes their starters have logged this season. They’ve dropped three of their last four thanks to poor defending, winning the other 139-129 against a tanking Memphis side. Brooklyn have little motivation to win, but they have enough talent to do their part in terms of scoring.

The Hawks have won eight straight games, and they have won each of those by a nine-point margin or greater. The Bucks have suffered four defeats in five, which includes a 131-113 loss to the Hawks earlier this month.

The recent buzz around the Hornets has been put down to their young talent, but the collective effort defensively they’ve been making has taken them a long way. Their previous four away games have seen them hold their opponents to 109, 101, 111, and 89. The Spurs are hoping Victor Wembanyama can return to boost them defensively, but the Hornets won the rebound battle with Wemby on the court in their meeting in January to produce a 111-106 win. The under has now hit in 61.2% of Charlotte’s games, and 56.7% of San Antonio’s.

The Boston Celtics rested Jayson Tatum last time out, but he should return to help the Celtics breeze by the Wizards. Washington embarrassed themselves by giving up 83 points to Miami’s Bam Adebayo earlier this week, which they followed up with a 136-131 loss to the Orlando Magic. The Wizards have given up an average of 141.3 points across their last three. Washington haven’t been held below 100 points in their last seven games, but they might not even need to hit triple figures to top this total.

The Orlando Magic have won the first four meetings between the sides this season, and they seem to have Miami’s number as two in-form sides meet. The Magic have won four straight games on the road, while the Heat’s only two victories in the last 10 meetings between the pair have come in overtime or by a single point.

The Lakers have won four on the spin, including Luka Doncic’s stunning game against the Chicago Bulls last time out, which is the defining display of his Lakers tenure to date. The Nuggets overcame the Spurs without Wemby last time out, but that 136-131 win didn’t earn them a lot of credit. Before that, the Nuggets were 19-18 against winning sides, and they head to a Lakers team who have rattled off six straight home wins.

Manchester United have won four straight home games under Michael Carrick, while Aston Villa have lost three of their four visits to the top seven.

Rangers look the best bet away at St Mirren. They have lost only one of their last ten Premiership away games and are unbeaten in 12 league matches. St Mirren are in a slump, winning one of their last ten and losing four of the last five. They are also leaking goals, with no clean sheet in ten of the last 12, and they struggle to score at home, which makes this a tough assignment.

Mallorca look worth backing at home to Espanyol. Despite sitting lower in the table, the visitors are in a horrible run, winless in ten league games and without an away win in five. Espanyol also keep conceding, with no clean sheet in 11 straight league matches and goals shipped in each of their last six away trips. That opens the door for Mallorca to finally pick up points at home.

Strasbourg have been strong at home, winning seven of their 12 Ligue 1 matches and conceding just nine goals. They sit five places and nine points above Paris, who have won only three of their 13 away games and arrive after winning just one of their last seven league fixtures.

Heracles have been disappointing defensively this season, conceding 65 goals in 26 Eredivisie games. There have been four or more goals in 12 of AZ’s 26 league matches and that trend can continue against a side who have shipped four goals on six occasions this term, including each of their previous three on the road.

Feyenoord have scored three or more times in nine of their 26 Eredivisie games this season, including their 3-3 draw at NAC Breda last weekend. There have been four goals or more in 12 of their matches, and they host an Excelsior side who have lost 5-1 and 5-0 at the rest of the top three.

Sporting Gijon host third-placed Castellon, with the hosts winning only one of their clashes with the top seven. That includes a 3-1 defeat in the reverse, along with a 3-2 home defeat to Burgos and a 3-1 home loss to Malaga. The visitors are vulnerable after losing 3-1 and 4-2 in their previous two, so side with goals here in a key game for both.

Anderlecht are in fine form going forward, having netted 11 goals across their last three games. However, they’ve struggled in their toughest away tests, shipping at least two goals away to each of the top nine sides they’ve faced, winning none. Hosts Mechelen haven’t kept a clean sheet at home to a top-eight side, so both sides can play their part in a high-scoring game.

Manchester United have won four straight home games under Michael Carrick, while Aston Villa have lost three of their four visits to the top seven.

Leeds have improved in their away trips of late, earning draws at Everton, Chelsea, and Aston Villa. They meet a Palace side who will switch their focus to Europe for the time being, while the Eagles have lost six of eight league games directly following European action, including December’s 4-1 thumping at Elland Road. The hosts have suffered five defeats across their last eight home league games.

Forest are winless in their last six Premier League matches while Fulham have won four and drawn one of their last eight away league trips. The Cottagers have won six of their last seven games against Forest, who have scored just once in their last five home league games.

Tottenham have lost six games in a row in all competitions and the manner of their 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid was alarming. They should be able to get on the scoresheet for the sixth game running, with Arne Slot’s side conceding in four consecutive matches.

Cagliari have managed only one clean sheet on their travels this season, with all four of their visits to the bottom five seeing both teams score. The reverse fixture in Sardinia finished as a 2-2 draw, and Pisa have seen BTTS land in three of their last four at home.

Both teams can find the net in this one. Estoril have scored three goals or more in nine of their 25 Primeira Liga games this season, and they’ve netted 19 strikes across their seven visits to sides below them in the standings. In addition, 15 of Nacional’s 25 matches in the league have seen both teams score, including their previous two.

Suditrol could use a boost after winning only one of their last four, and they host bottom side Pescara on Sunday. The hosts have won and conceded in three of their four home meetings with the bottom five, and they drew 1-1 at the basement club earlier this season. Pescara average over a goal per game on their travels, and they’ve shown positive signs by scoring eight goals across a three-game unbeaten run.

Tottenham have lost six games in a row in all competitions and the manner of their 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid was alarming. They should be able to get on the scoresheet for the sixth game running, with Arne Slot’s side conceding in four consecutive matches.

Sesko has scored in three of his last four games for United and he can continue his impressive form against a Villa side who are in the middle of a busy run of games.

Hugo Ekitike has registered 31 shots on target for the Reds this season and he scored in the 2-1 win over Spurs in December. With Igor Tudor’s side looking lost at the back, he can take full advantage.

United have won nine of 14 home games overall and four from four under Michael Carrick, scoring at least twice in each of those wins under their interim boss. Villa are looking a little goal-shy of late, so back a 2-0 win for the Red Devils.

Liverpool have scored four or more goals against Tottenham in their last four ties at Anfield and this should be another entertaining affair. Slot’s side are not as explosive as they were last season, but they should have far too much quality for their visitors.

Henry: Villa have been faltering, but Unai Emery’s men played well in a 1-0 win at Lille on Thursday night and they look over priced given the kind run of games that United have faced.

Alex: Tottenham Hotspur appear to be in freefall right now and they meet a Liverpool side who have won the last four head-to-head clashes. In the last two meetings between these sides at Anfield, Liverpool have won 4-0 in the EFL Cup and 5-1 in the Premier League.

Simon: Palace should have enough firepower to take another three points against a Leeds side that has lost four and drawn three times in London since their last victory in the capital in September 2023.

Alex W: Fourth-place Lyon are evens to get the better of Le Havre on Sunday, but this tie comes sandwiched between two Europa League fixtures against Celta Vigo. Lyon’s 1-1 draw in Spain on Thursday leaves them winless in five attempts and Le Havre have lost just three home Ligue 1 games all season.

Barcelona have won all 13 of their home matches this season, but they are in the middle of a Champions League last 16 tie. They meet a Sevilla side who have scored in their last eight league games, while BTTS has landed in four straight meetings between the pair.

Tottenham have lost six games in a row in all competitions and the manner of their 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid was alarming. They should be able to get on the scoresheet for the sixth game running, with Arne Slot’s side conceding in four consecutive matches.

Barcelona have won all 13 of their home matches this season, but they are in the middle of a Champions League last 16 tie. They meet a Sevilla side who have scored in their last eight league games, while BTTS has landed in four straight meetings between the pair.

Real Sociedad look the best bet at home to Osasuna. Osasuna’s away form is weak, with only two wins in 14 trips, and they struggle for goals on the road. Sociedad are strong at home and are scoring consistently, netting in 18 of their last 19 league games. With Osasuna also looking shaky defensively, the hosts should have enough to take the points.

Milan are unbeaten on their travels in Serie A this season and off the back of last week’s derby success over Inter, which has reignited their title hopes, they can get the better of an underwhelming Lazio side that have won just three of their last 13 league fixtures.

Rennes have won three on the bounce under new head coach Franck Haise, with all of those victories being accompanied by clean sheets. Lille have lacked a cutting edge since the turn of the year, and with the second leg of their Europa League last 16 tie against Aston Villa to come next midweek, they may go down with a whimper at Roazhon Park.

Sporting Gijon host third-placed Castellon, with the hosts winning only one of their clashes with the top seven. That includes a 3-1 defeat in the reverse, along with a 3-2 home defeat to Burgos and a 3-1 home loss to Malaga. The visitors are vulnerable after losing 3-1 and 4-2 in their previous two, so side with goals here in a key game for both.

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.

San Diego are in the winning habit and should be backed to continue their run at FC Dallas. They have won all three of their games this season without conceding and they should have too much for a Dallas side who have netted only three times in as many matches.

New York City are the bet to win at home to Colorado Rapids. They enjoyed a 5-0 win against Orlando City last weekend and are aiming for a third straight MLS success. In contrast, Colorado tend to struggle on the road and were beaten 2-0 away by the Seattle Sounders recently.

Over 2.5 goals looks the bet when Houston take on Portland at BBVA Compass Stadium. Five of the last seven MLS meetings between these sides have finished with over 2.5 goals and Portland have been disappointing defensively this season, conceding eight goals in three matches.

Los Angeles are the best bet when they host St Louis at BMO Stadium. Los Angeles have scored in 18 of their last 20 league games and are more prolific in front of goal than their opponents, who have lost consecutive games to nil. LAFC have won and kept a clean sheet in four of their last five.

Inter Miami have bounced back from their opening day defeat to LAFC with two wins and can make it three in a row when they visit Charlotte, who were outclassed 3-0 by LA Galaxy recently. However, the hosts are stronger at home, while Inter Miami have won and conceded in two of their last three on the road.

New York City are the bet to win at home to Colorado Rapids. They enjoyed a 5-0 win against Orlando City last weekend and are aiming for a third straight MLS success. In contrast, Colorado tend to struggle on the road and were beaten 2-0 away by the Seattle Sounders recently.

Inter Miami have bounced back from their opening day defeat to LAFC with two wins and can make it three in a row when they visit Charlotte, who were outclassed 3-0 by LA Galaxy recently. However, the hosts are stronger at home, while Inter Miami have won and conceded in two of their last three on the road.

Both of these teams have been leaky at the back and over 3.5 goals looks a solid bet in this clash. Four of Orlando City’s last five MLS games have gone over 3.5 goals, conceding five and four times across their previous two matches. Their opponents Montreal have hardly been rock-solid in defence, conceding eight times in three games.

San Diego are in the winning habit and should be backed to continue their run at FC Dallas. They have won all three of their games this season without conceding and they should have too much for a Dallas side who have netted only three times in as many matches.

Real Salt Lake look the best bet when they host Austin FC at Rio Tinto Stadium. They have won five of their last seven home games and have gone unbeaten in six of their last seven head-to-head meetings with Austin FC, who have not won any of their last five on the road.
