Salford have won their last four away games, but they have only kept one clean sheet on the road in their last 12 League Two away days. Accrington Stanley have come up short against members of the top four recently, losing to Bromley and MK Dons at home, but they are in good scoring form and should contribute to a high-scoring affair at Crown Ground.

Strasbourg may have lost to Ligue 1 leaders PSG on Sunday, but they put in an excellent showing to post 2.31 expected goals, and they have still won five of their last seven matches. Monaco have lost four of their last eight away games and could struggle, but they should get on the scoresheet against a home side without a clean sheet in four attempts in front of their own fans.

Juventus are unbeaten in their last six trips to Atalanta and head to Bergamo having won three and drawn one of their last four games, while the hosts have lost to union Saint-Gilloisae and Athletic Bilbao in their last four matches. However, with both teams solid at the back and conceding an average of under a goal per game, expect a tight affair.

Bahia had the third-best home record in the Brazil Serie A last season and should have the beating of a Fluminense side that lost nine of their 19 trips in the league. The hosts have won 11 of their last 12 competitive home games, while Fluminense have lost five of their last ten trips.

Atletico Madrid beat Real Betis earlier in the season with a comfortable 2-0 win. They will liekly field a strong starting eleven here which should be good enough to win here and progress to the semi finals.

New York is winning in a way that translates to covering this number. The Knicks don’t bleed points defensively or give up cheap fouls and they are orchestrating clean offensive possessions: The number here is not a gift on the Nuggets but rather a show of respect to how good this Knicks team actually is. New York minus the points is the play.

The Celtics are in solid rhythm following last night’s big win in Dallas. They’ve owned the head-to-head record vs Houston winning 8 of 11 games, and they’ll be hungry to avenge the 27-point loss in the first meeting at the beginning of November. Boston has 5 wins in 8 games while playing with no rest, I believe they can keep this game close.

Neither side has played well as of late, to put it mildly. However, if there’s one thing we can count on when these two teams play, it’s points. The over has cashed 15 times in 18 meetings, while the 10 most recent ones have seen an average of 241 points. 

Cleveland thrives on pace and shooting threes, while Los Angeles slows games, operates defensively. Since embracing small-ball and defense, the Clippers have found consistency that counters Cleveland’s flow offense. The Cavs’ perimeter reliance creates shooting volatility, whereas LA’s controlled half-court style is steadier. If the Clippers dictate tempo, they can neutralize Cleveland’s strengths and win outright.

The Patriots’ resolute defence will give Kenneth Walker III some problems, but he should be able to relieve the pressure on quarterback Sam Darnold and pick up some valuable receiving yards. Walker III will get the majority of carries due to an injury to Zach Charbonnet. He caught four passes for 49 yards last week against the Rams to make it three games in his last five that he has surpassed 25 receiving yards.

The Patriots were struggling before the snow fell at Empower Field at Mile High. Mike Vrabel’s team looked poor on offence and that is not a good sign ahead of their matchup with the best defence in the NFL. New England have done incredibly well to turn their fortunes around in just one year, but their offence is simply not good enough to live with the Seattle defence. Seattle have done everything right for the last two months after reeling off nine consecutive wins and they should cover the spread in San Francisco.

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.

Salford have won their last four away games, but they have only kept one clean sheet on the road in their last 12 League Two away days. Accrington Stanley have come up short against members of the top four recently, losing to Bromley and MK Dons at home, but they are in good scoring form and should contribute to a high-scoring affair at Crown Ground.

Both teams have scored in seven of Go Ahead Eagles’ last eight away games and four or more goals have been notched in half of these. Telstar’s last match was a 4-1 defeat, with both teams finding the net in six of their last eight games, with four or more goals being scored in six of them.

AFS are rock bottom of the Portuguese Primeira Liga and were hammered 4-0 against Braga on Monday. They were hit for six at Sporting earlier this season, with the hosts scoring 12 goals across their last five games, all of which ended in victory against superior opponents to Thursday’s visitors.

Strasbourg may have lost to Ligue 1 leaders PSG on Sunday, but they put in an excellent showing to post 2.31 expected goals, and they have still won five of their last seven matches. Monaco have lost four of their last eight away games and could struggle, but they should get on the scoresheet against a home side without a clean sheet in four attempts in front of their own fans.

Strasbourg were on a three-match winning run before losing to PSG and, despite failing to take a point, still posted an xG of 2.31 against the league leaders. With home advantage, they can push Monaco close and a 3–1 home win is the prediction.

Meetings between the two sides are often close with the last seven of eight games either finishing a draw or being decided by one goal. Juventus come in on good form with three wins from their last five including an important win vs Napoli. Back Juventus to come away with a 1-0 win here.

Salford’s Ryan Graydon is his side’s leading scorer this season with nine league goals and he’s managed four goals and two assists across his last five appearances in all competitions. He looks a contender to get on the scoresheet at the Wham Stadium.

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.

Hull have lifted themselves to within sight of the Championship’s automatic promotion positions, and they can take a step closer with a fifth successive win against a managerless Watford outfit.The Hornets parted ways with Javia Gracia for the second time after their weekend defeat to Swansea left them winless in five, and the Tigers look primed to roar to victory on Tuesday.

Arsenal won a five-goal thriller in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final, and another high-scoring affair is expected at the Emirates on Tuesday.Four or more goals have been scored in eight of the Gunners’ last ten fixtures and Chelsea have scored 19 goals in seven games since Liam Rosenior took charge, with five of these producing four or more goals.

Salford City’s 2-0 win at Tranmere on Saturday lifted them into the top three in the League Two table, and The Ammies can consolidate their promotion position with a fifth successive win on their travels.Accrington Stanley have admittedly looked a solid side of late, but they have lost to Salford’s fellow promotion hopefuls Bromley and MK Dons in their last five home matches and the quality of the visitors could shine through on Thursday.

Only Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim have scored more Bundesliga goals than Eintracht Frankfurt this season, but that comes at the cost of the worst defensive record in the division and their high-scoring ways should treat neutrals again on Friday.Both teams have scored in seven of their last eight games, for 13 goals scored and 21 conceded, while there have been goals at both ends in four of Union Berlin’s last five. Expect fireworks in Berlin.

Serie A’s bottom two get gameweek 24 underway in Italy, and underdogs Pisa could avoid dropping to the foot of the table against a Verona side that have taken just two points from the last 24 available.Pisa may be struggling for victories, but they have played out a league-high 11 stalemates, and they have only lost two of their last eight away days.

After starting the season with a long winless run at home, Celta Vigo have found their form at Estadio de Balaidos and look good value to score multiple goals for the fourth successive home game against Osasuna.The visitors sit ninth in the table, but only three La Liga teams have a worse away record than Los Rojillos, and they have conceded twice or more in four of their last seven away days.

Promotion-chasing Stockport County can pick up another three points on Saturday as they lock horns with a struggling Leyton Orient side that have lost three games on the spin.The Hatters are unbeaten in six matches and are on the hunt for a sixth successive home win, which they should achieve against an Orient outfit that have lost their last six away games by an aggregate scoreline of 16-3.

Lecce’s battle against Serie A relegation took another blow on Sunday as their winless run was extended to eight games, and little is expected of the league’s lowest scorers when they host Udinese.The Salentini have lost six of these eight winless matches and visitors Udinese have won their last two away assignments against Torino and Verona, while they have won their last four meetings with the struggling hosts.

Bayern Munich remain one of the most devastating attacking outfits in world football, and they can add another few goals to their burgeoning tally against the Bundesliga’s second-highest scorers.Die Bayern have notched an incredible 74 goals this season and have averaged four goals per game at the Allianz Arena. Hoffenheim shipped four to the Bavarian side in the reverse fixture and have conceded 18 goals in their last five meetings with the league leaders.

Volendam have the worst away record in the entire Eredivisie, and their winless record on the road looks set to continue in Zwolle.PEC  have won their last five home league games, and their out-of-sorts visitors are on an eight-game losing streak away from home in the Dutch top flight.The Hatters are unbeaten in six matches and are on the hunt for a sixth successive home win, which they should achieve against an Orient outfit that have lost their last six away games by an aggregate scoreline of 16-3.

Atletico Nacional thrashed Boyacá Chico 4-0 in their only league game of the season so far, and they have won nine and drawn two of their last 11 competitive home matches, while America de Cali have lost three of their last five away games and have lost their last nine trips to Atletico Nacional.

Atletico Mineiro had the fourth-worst away record in the Brazil Serie A last season, losing 12 of their 19 trips.

Flamengo won 14 of their 19 home games last season en route to the Brazil Serie A title, and they can get three points on the board against an Internacional side that narrowly avoided relegation. The visitors lost eight of their final ten league away games last term, while Flamengo have won eight of their last nine at home.

Santos lost their Serie A opener, but they are unbeaten in eight home matches and have won their last two home meetings with Sao Paulo, while the visitors have drawn one and lost five of their last six away fixtures.
