Football Betting Tips

Both teams have scored in Anderlecht’s last four league games, but they should still be able to overcome bottom side Dender. The visitors have lost all six encounters with the top five, but their form in front of goal has improved of late, with BTTS landing in their previous six trips.

Celta Vigo arrive in strong form, having won six of their last eight league games and losing just one of their last ten away matches. They sit two places and eight points above Real Sociedad, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in 23 of their last 24 league games.

This has the potential to turn into a goalfest. There have been at least four goals in each of Estrela’s last four away games in the Portuguese top flight and their trip to Lisbon could be just as entertaining.

Milan won two of the three meetings between the pair in 2025 and, having triumphed in four of their last seven away games, they look the most likely victors. Just one defeat in 21 league games this season shows how difficult Massimiliano Allegri’s men are to master.

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.

Both teams have scored in six of Portsmouth’s last eight games overall and they have gone six games without a clean sheet at home. Saints are yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels in the Championship but they have scored themselves in all but one of their trips, so goals at both ends looks likely.

Schalke have won seven of their eight home matches this term, while Kaiserslautern have lost half of their away trips. The visitors have lost all three visits to the top six, and Schalke have rattled off five straight victories at their own ground.

Mallorca have scored in five straight games and eight of their last nine overall. Seven of their ten away league matches have gone over 2.5 goals, with six of the last eight league fixtures featuring three or more. Atletico Madrid have scored in all ten home games this season, adding to the goals profile.

Fortuna have lost six of their nine away trips this season, while Groningen head into this clash unbeaten in five, winning three of those. The visitors are rooted in the bottom-half, and Groningen have won nine of 12 clashes with teams outside the top eight this season.

Brentford hold the fourth-best home record in the Premier League and have won five of their last seven games in all competitions, while Nottingham Forest’s only win in their last eight games came against the relegation-threatened West Ham.

Both teams have scored in Anderlecht’s last four league games, but they should still be able to overcome bottom side Dender. The visitors have lost all six encounters with the top five, but their form in front of goal has improved of late, with BTTS landing in their previous six trips.

Lille look well placed to take maximum points at home against Strasbourg. Lille have won four of their last five home games in Ligue 1 and continue to be a reliable proposition on their own patch. Strasbourg arrive out of form on the road, without a win in six away matches, and have lost four of their last five trips. With home wins proving profitable in top-half clashes this season, Lille’s stronger recent form gives them the edge.

Milan won two of the three meetings between the pair in 2025 and, having triumphed in four of their last seven away games, they look the most likely victors. Just one defeat in 21 league games this season shows how difficult Massimiliano Allegri’s men are to master.

Both teams have scored in each of Racing’s last six matches, while Deportivo have conceded in their last four home outings. The visitors have scored in 22 straight matches, while BTTS has landed in nine of their 10 away trips.

Alverca have lost all five clashes with the top five, and they’ve been beaten in five of their eight away trips this term. The visitors make this trip having lost three of their last four on the road, while Braga are in decent form at home.

Strasbourg are capable of getting on the scoresheet, but defensive issues remain a concern. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight Ligue 1 games and are conceding close to two goals per away match. Lille are strong at home without being ruthless, which often leads to narrow victories rather than blowouts. Strasbourg have already lost three league games 2-1 this season, and a similar outcome looks likely again, with Lille doing just enough to see it out.

Alaves are unbeaten in three meetings at home to Real Betis, with two of those ending in draws, so a 1-1 correct-score line must make plenty of appeal. Goals will be hard to come by and Alaves do put up a fight when armed with home advantage.

Enzo Le Fee has four goals and four assists this season and can add to that tally against strugglers West Ham in tomorrow’s early kick-off.

Hall has been fouled at least twice in nine of his last 11 games and has been brought down 14 times in his last four outings.

Salah has scored 12 goals in 12 Premier League games against Andoni Iraola’s men and will be on penalties so he has a good chance to extend that impressive run.

Both teams have scored in six of Portsmouth’s last eight games overall and they have gone six games without a clean sheet at home. Saints are yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels in the Championship but they have scored themselves in all but one of their trips, so goals at both ends looks likely.

Genoa against Bologna has all the hallmarks of a game where both sides get on the scoresheet. Genoa have seen BTTS land in 13 of their 21 Serie A matches this season and defensive reliability has been an issue, particularly at home. Bologna arrive in better league position and have scored freely against bottom-half teams on the road, while nine straight games without a clean sheet suggests they are unlikely to shut Genoa out either.

Hearts have scored in all of their home games across all competitions this season and are on a nine-game scoring streak overall. Celtic have scored in five straight games and are yet to draw a blank under Martin O’Neill in 12 games across two spells this term. There have been goals at both ends in both meetings between these sides this season, so goals at both ends looks likely at Tynecastle.

Heracles have conceded on all ten of their Eredivisie away days this season and ten of Feyenoord’s last 12 league games have ended with both sides scoring.

Mallorca have scored in five straight games and eight of their last nine overall. Seven of their ten away league matches have gone over 2.5 goals, with six of the last eight league fixtures featuring three or more. Atletico Madrid have scored in all ten home games this season, adding to the goals profile.

Catanzaro have lost consecutive matches, but they should improve against fourth-bottom Sampdoria, who have lost seven of 10 trips. The visitors have struggled defensively, but BTTS has landed in their last four matches. The hosts have kept one clean sheet at home to sides below them, but they’ve scored nine times across their last four home games.

This has the potential to turn into a goalfest. There have been at least four goals in each of Estrela’s last four away games in the Portuguese top flight and their trip to Lisbon could be just as entertaining.

Alex: Brentford hold the fourth-best home record in the Premier League and have won five of their last seven games in all competitions, while Nottingham Forest’s only win in their last eight games came against the relegation-threatened West Ham.

Henry: Hearts have already beaten the Bhoys 3-1 at Tynecastle this term and Derek McInnes’ men were also good enough to win 2-1 at Celtic Park. With the league leaders at 2/1, back them for the points.

Aaron A: Lyon made it nine wins in ten matches with Thursday’s 1-0 success away at Young Boys in the Europa League. Paulo Fonseca’s men should be too strong for rock-bottom Metz, who are six points adrift of safety following five defeats in six league outings.

Gareth: Napoli have won three of the last four meetings between these sides and Antonio Conte’s men arrive in good form, unbeaten in their last nine.

Aaron R: Santa Clara have lost 12 of their 18 league games this term, while four of their six away defeats have come by a two-goal margin or greater. Famalicao have kept a clean sheet in all of their league wins this term, and they have the fifth-best record in the division in terms of xG. 

Igor Thiago has 17 goals across all competitions for Brentford and has scored five times in his last three appearances. He scored Brentford’s only goal in the reverse fixture back in August and can strike again here.

Chelsea are having to rely on their midfielders to take on the bulk of the goalscoring burden at the moment and that could be the case again at the weekend with winger Alejandro Garnacho fancied to get on the scoresheet in south London. Garnacho bagged a brace in the recent loss to Arsenal to take his tally to six for the Blues this term. Palace are weakened at the back following the loss of Marc Guehi and Garnacho could be one to take advantage.

With Lawrence Shankland injured, Hearts will look to Claudio Braga in attack and he stands out as a potential scorer. The Portuguese forward has nine goals for the season and scored at Parkhead in the most recent meeting between these sides.

Brentford hold the fourth-best home record in the Premier League and have won five of their last seven games in all competitions, while Nottingham Forest’s only win in their last eight games came against the relegation-threatened West Ham.

Crystal Palace are in a state of turmoil at the moment and results have fallen off as a consequence with the Eagles failing to win any of their last ten matches in all competitions. Marc Guehi’s moved to Manchester City is a huge blow, while the future of manager Oliver Glasner is also unclear after he announced he would leave at the end of the season. Although unconvincing at times, things have gone better for Chelsea who have won three of their last four matches, and they are fancied edge to victory at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

Aston Villa have only lost two of their last 17 matches and their only away defeat in their last nine trips came against Premier League leaders Arsenal. Newcastle have only won one of their last four matches and have failed to beat Villa in their last two meetings.

Arsenal have drawn their last two games in the Premier League and two of the last three head-to-head encounters have ended 1-1. Manchester United have played out 1-1 draws in two of their last four Premier League matches, and they were notably improved against Man City last weekend.
