Football Betting Tips

Sheffield United have scored in each of their last five Championship matches and six of their 15 home games have featured at least four goals. With 12 of United’s 32 matches going over 3.5 goals and both sides conceding heavily – Wednesday shipping a league-high 64 – goals look the standout play.

Barcelona have scored at least three goals in each of their last three Primera Liga matches and five of their 11 home games have produced over 3.5 goals. With Levante conceding a league-high 40 goals in 23 matches and involved in four-goal games in three of 12 away fixtures, goals stand out.

Over 2.5 goals has landed in each of Gil Vicente’s last five games, while they hed to an Estoril side who shipped three goals to bottom club AVS in their last game. There have been at least four goals in six of the hosts’ previous seven, while they’ve netted over two goals per game at home this term.

Albacete have shipped two or more goals in six of their eight visits to sides above them. Hosts Malaga have found the net at least twice in their last four home games, and their impressive record at their own ground has seen them score 26 times in 13 matches.

Henry: Liverpool cruised past Brighton 3-0 in the FA Cup last weekend and the Merseyside men had previously impressed in Premier League victories over Sunderland and Newcastle. Slot’s men appear to be finding their stride in the final third of the campaign and Liverpool rate an excellent bet to win at the City Ground.

Aaron: Fulham have lost four of their last five league games, while their three away wins have all come at bottom-five teams. Marco Silva’s side have lost all seven visits to the sides above them, while Sunderland have won seven of nine home meetings with sides outside the top six.

Joe: Rangers gave their chances of winning the Scottish Premiership a big boost with a 4-2 win over table-toppers Hearts last weekend. The hosts may have held Dundee to a 2-2 draw last time out but they are staring down the barrel of relegation and look likely to be outclassed by a Light Blues side who have scored 18 goals in their last four games.

Alex: Cremonese have failed to score in five of their last six matches on the road in Serie A, while they are winless in 11 outings. Roma are undefeated in their last five league matches on home soil and they could boost their Champions League qualification hopes with a routine win over Cremonese.

Enda: Lyon are going for a club record-equalling 14th straight victory across all competitions. They come into this game having gone more than 380 minutes without conceding and facing a Strasbourg side whose only clean sheet in nine came against minnows Avranches in the Coupe de France.

Rangers have gone three games without a clean sheet in the top flight, but the Gers should have too much quality for their hosts. Eight of the hosts’ last ten league games and each of Rangers’ last three have seen both teams score, but the bottom side should fall short as Rangers continue their title chase.

Feyenoord have claimed back-to-back wins as they aim to strengthen their grip on second place. They host second-bottom Telstar on Sunday, and the visitors have seen BTTS land in five of their last six matches. The visitors have scored in their last five away trips, but hosts Feyenoord have won all seven home meetings with bottom-half sides.

Villarreal aren’t quite as effective as they were earlier in the campaign but they remain third in La Liga and should still be too strong for struggling Valencia on Sunday. The Yellow Submarine have won just two of their last eight matches but only Real Madrid and Barcelona have been to good for them at La Ceramica this season and Valencia are nowhere near that level. Los Che moved out of the relegation zone following last week’s crucial win over second-bottom, Levante, to snap a three-game losing streak and they have won just two of their 12 La Liga away games this term.

Both teams have scored in six of the last seven Spurs home games and also in seven of Arsenal’s last eight road trips. The last two north London derbies have seen goals at both ends too.

Seventh-placed Celta Vigo sit 11 places and ten points above Mallorca and have won three of their last four home Primera Liga games. Mallorca are winless in seven away matches, losing five of their last seven on the road, and have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine straight league fixtures.

Heidenheim have won just one of their last eight Bundesliga home games and are without a win in their last four on home turf. Stuttgart are in good form, having won five of their last seven Bundesliga matches and three of their last four away games.

Lyon are third in Ligue 1, 14 points above Strasbourg, and have won eight of their last nine matches. They are on a run of three straight away victories and have lost only one of their last seven on the road. Strasbourg are winless in three and have struggled defensively.

Albacete have shipped two or more goals in six of their eight visits to sides above them. Hosts Malaga have found the net at least twice in their last four home games, and their impressive record at their own ground has seen them score 26 times in 13 matches.

Rio Ave have suffered five straight defeats, and four of those losses have been to nil. Porto have conceded only three goals at home in the league this term, so back the leaders to secure another routine win.

Roma have scored two goals or more in their last two games against Cremonese and there should be no reply on this occasion. The visitors have failed to score in five of their last six away matches in Serie A.

Lyon have kept three consecutive clean sheets and their last three league games have gone under the goals line. Strasbourg have failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 of their last 15 matches, and with Lyon in strong form, a controlled 2-0 away win appeals.

Brondby have lost four of their last five games, scoring only twice in that run. Only one side in the Super Liga has outperformed Sonderjyske across the last eight games, with the visitors winning five of their last seven.

Ajax Reserves won at Dordrecht last time out as new manager Oscar Garcia made his mark. The visitors are bottom of the table, but they’ve lost only one of five clashes with the rest of the bottom-five. Fourth bottom FC Emmen have taken one point from the last 15 available, and they’ve failed to win three of four clashes with the sides below them.

The Catalans are in decent form, winning five of their last nine, and can edge what should be a closely-fought contest against an Alaves side who have lost three of their last six.

Famalicao have won five of seven home clashes with sides behind them, and they’ve scored 17 goals across those matches. The hosts have scored at least twice in their last four home matches, netting three goals on three occasions. Casa Pia have conceded twice in five of their six away defeats, while they shipped three goals in defeats at Sporting and Rio Ave since the turn of the year.

However, Kasimpasa have scored in their last two away trips, while Fener have conceded in five of their last six home league games.

These two sides are in contrasting form, with Walsall winning just once in 11 matches and MK Dons unbeaten in their last eight league games. The hosts have scored 1.2 goals per game at home, and they can net in a defeat here.

Pisa have scored 16 of their 20 Serie A goals this term in their 12 away matches, while they head to a Fiorentina side who have conceded in 11 of 12 home league games. The hosts are in the middle of a European tie, while five of Pisa’s last six games have seen both teams score.

Cadiz are winless in five games, but they did improve their fortunes with a 1-1 draw against Burgos last time out. Real Sociedad have seen both teams score in four of their last five, but they’ve managed only one clean sheet across 13 trips this term. Cadiz have conceded twice in their last three home games, so back both sides to score.

Dundalk have started the campaign with two score draws, and they should play out another entertaining clash with a Shamrock Rovers side who started their campaign with a 2-0 win. The visitors are giving up too many chances, but they’re capable of finding the net in Dublin.

Brondby have lost four of their last five games, scoring only twice in that run. Only one side in the Super Liga has outperformed Sonderjyske across the last eight games, with the visitors winning five of their last seven.

Ajax Reserves won at Dordrecht last time out as new manager Oscar Garcia made his mark.

Fourth bottom FC Emmen have taken one point from the last 15 available, and they’ve failed to win three of four clashes with the sides below them.

AZ Reserves have lost seven straight home games, but they’ve scored in each of the last four. They host a Den Bosch side who have struggled for clean sheets on their travels, shipping 2.23 goals per game on the road. The hosts have shown signs of improvement on the road, scoring 10 goals in a three-game winning run. That, along with the visitors’ good scoring record at struggling sides, suggests this will be a high-scoring clash.

Famalicao have won five of seven home clashes with sides behind them, and they’ve scored 17 goals across those matches. The hosts have scored at least twice in their last four home matches, netting three goals on three occasions. Casa Pia have conceded twice in five of their six away defeats, while they shipped three goals in defeats at Sporting and Rio Ave since the turn of the year.

Le Mans need to bounce back from a loss to Montpellier last weekend, but they’ve won five of their six home meetings with bottom-half outfits. The hosts have kept a clean sheet in each of those five wins, while Guingamp have lost four of six visits to sides above them.

Everton have struggled to adapt to their new home and have lost more games at home this season than they have won or drawn. Manchester United have only lost three times away from home in the Premier League and they come into this game on the back of a five-match unbeaten run.

Dundalk have started the campaign with two score draws, and they should play out another entertaining clash with a Shamrock Rovers side who started their campaign with a 2-0 win. The visitors are giving up too many chances, but they’re capable of finding the net in Dublin.

These two sides are in contrasting form, with Walsall winning just once in 11 matches and MK Dons unbeaten in their last eight league games. The Dons are also the highest away scorers in the division and have lost the joint-fewest road games. They should have too much for their out-of-sort hosts.

Le Mans need to bounce back from a loss to Montpellier last weekend, but they’ve won 1-0 in five of their six home meetings with bottom-half outfits. The hosts have seen under 2.5 land in 83% of their home matches.

The last three meetings between these two sides have finished 1-0 and another low-scoring battle is expected on Monday. Alaves have scored just 21 goals in 24 La Liga games this season, while a maximum of two goals have been scored in five of Girona’s last six matches. The Catalans are in decent form, winning five of their last nine, and can edge what should be a closely-fought contest.

These two sides are in contrasting form, with Walsall winning just once in 11 matches and MK Dons unbeaten in their last eight league games. The Dons are also the highest away scorers in the division and have lost the joint-fewest road games. They should have too much for their out-of-sort hosts.

Everton have scored in five consecutive matches in all competitions at home and should be competitive, but they have struggled to keep clean sheets in front of their own fans. They have shipped goals in six consecutive matches on Merseyside.

MK Dons have scored two or more goals in eight of their last nine away games across all competitions and put three past Cheltenham in their last road fixture. Walsall lost 3-1 to Barnet in their most recent home match and, without first-choice goalkeeper Myles Roberts, may ship three again.

Since his return from the Africa Cup of Nations in January, former Brentford winger Bryan Mbuemo has scored three goals in five appearances and he has registered 11 shots in his last five appearances.

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.
