Football Betting Tips

Barrow are in the midst of a disastrous run of form that has seen them fall into the drop zone. The Cumbrians have 20 defeats in 33 League Two games this season and nine of those have come in their last 10 games. Barrow have lost their last five on the road and could fall short again at Cheltenham, who are on a four-game unbeaten run and overcame promotion hopefuls Salford in their last home assignment. Barrow have scored in 13 successive away games and the Robins have just one clean sheet in their last nine so the visitors can strike in defeat.

Both teams have scored in seven consecutive Napoli games and they have gone nine without a clean sheet. Torino may end up leaving empty handed but they should be able to get on the scoresheet. Il Toro, who won the reverse fixture 1-0, made a winning start under new boss Roberto D’Aversa last time out and have scored in five of their last six games. Napoli are the only side with an unbeaten home record still intact in Serie A this season and Il Toro haven’t won at this venue since 2009, so Napoli can claim the points even if they do concede.

PSG have a strong record against Monaco with four wins in the last six meetings, but they’ve also conceded in each of the last four clashes. PSG have won their last seven home league games and should take the points, but Monaco have hit 12 goals across their last five games and can at least register a consolation effort. 

Madrid are statistically the best team away in La Liga. Celta are in good form and this should be competitive but Los Blancos are four points behind Barcelona in the title race and cannot afford many more slip-ups. The visitors quality should see them claim three points but they may concede as Celta have scored in each of their last eight home games.

Laval sit in the bottom two and incredibly they are still waiting for their first home league win. A limp attack has been the hosts’ major problem with just 19 goals scored in 25 games, and Guingamp can keep their faint play-off hopes alive with a win on the road on Friday.

Nancy have four points from their last two home games, including a 2-1 win over leaders Troyes, and they can boost their survival hopes by beating poor travellers Montpellier. MHSC have lost half of their away games in the league and have four defeats in their last five trips across all comps.

Bastia are propping up the table but they’ve only lost one of their last five and are unbeaten in six on their travels. The struggling visitors can at least claim a point at Pau, who are on a three-game losing streak.

Rodez are on an 11-game unbeaten run and have won three of their last four. The hosts should be able to grind out a win over Grenoble, who have six defeats in 12 trips in Ligue 2 and have gone three games without scoring.

Bayern have won all of their last five, scoring at least three in four of them, they face a struggling Borussia Monchengladbach side and they look capable of scoring more than twice.

Over 2.5 goals has landed in four of PSG’s last six games and in four of Monaco’s last five, including both legs of the Champions League play-off between these two sides last month.

Preston have scored just once across their last three games and under 2.5 goals has landed in five of their last six, while Oxford United are the second-lowest scorers in the Championship and have scored just once in their last three on the road.

Torino should score but the host can claim maximum points. Napoli are the only side with an unbeaten home record still intact in Serie A this season and Il Toro haven’t won at this venue since 2009. Napoli have scored exactly twice in eight of their last 12 home games and no more than twice in any of them, so a 2-1 home victory has a chance.

Two of Oxford United’s last three away games have ended all square and Preston, who are winless in four, have drawn two of these, including a 1-1 stalemate with Swansea.

The Cumbrians have 20 defeats in 33 League Two games this season and nine of those have come in their last 10 games. Barrow have lost their last five on the road and could fall short again at Cheltenham, who are on a four-game unbeaten run and overcame promotion hopefuls Salford in their last home assignment.

Rasmus Hojlund hit Napoli’s opener at Verona last time out and he can add to his haul against Torino on Friday. The Danish striker has nine goals in 23 Serie A games this season and has four goals in his last seven games across all competitions.

Both teams have scored in seven consecutive Napoli games and they have gone nine without a clean sheet. Torino may end up leaving empty handed but they should be able to get on the scoresheet. Il Toro, who won the reverse fixture 1-0, made a winning start under new boss Roberto D’Aversa last time out and have scored in five of their last six games.

Celta Vigo have scored in each of their last eight home games while Madrid are statistically the best team away. This should be an exciting clash with both teams finding the net

Preston are favourites to get the win over the relegation-threatened Oxford United on Friday, but a share of the spoils may be the best they can hope for. North End are meandering towards a mid-table finish and have just one win in their last 10 across all competitions. Oxford are scrapping for survival and have avoided defeat in three of their last five road games, they can at least take a point at Deepdale.

Wolves secured a stunning comeback win over Liverpool in midweek and may defy the odds again after losing just one of their six games. They have drawn with Arsenal in this period, and Liverpool have failed to win four of their last seven away games.

Mazatlan have lost six of their first nine games in this Liga MX campaign, and the struggling hosts have the league’s worst xG record so far. Visitors Club Leon have built up some confidence with back-to-back wins, while Mazatlan have lost three of their first four home games.

Sydney FC have held their own at the back of late, with consecutive wins to nil. They’ve posted good underlying numbers at the back in those games too, while the visitors have already failed to score on four occasions away from home this term.

Aidan: Wigan’s recent away form in the third tier is awful – they have lost to Stockport 4-2, Peterborough 6-1 and Wycombe 2-0 in their last three on the road. Blackpool were 2-0 victors at Wigan in December and can secure another vital win over their relegation rivals.

Henry: Bolton are unbeaten in their last ten third-tier matches and confidence is surging through the Whites following their 5-1 hammering of Exeter last weekend. The Chairboys have won only two of their last 12 away matches and failed to score in six of those games.

Tom: Championship leaders Coventry have rediscovered their groove following four wins on the bounce, scoring at least twice in each of those victories. The Sky Blues have netted 12 more goals than any other team in the division, while their opponents have only one fit, senior central defender available for selection.

Warren: Gary Bowyer has done an impressive job at Burton, who have managed to lift themselves four places above the League One relegation zone. Stevenage have lost six away games on the bounce and now face a Burton team who have taken nine points from their last five league games.

Gareth: Marseille edged out Toulouse on penalties after a 2-2 draw in a Coupe de France tie at the Velodrome earlier this week. Both defences look vulnerable as Toulouse have gone five games without a clean sheet and L’OM have conceded at least twice in five successive games.

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.

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.

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.

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.
