Football Betting Tips

Annecy have seen both teams score in four of their five home meetings with sides above them in the standings, while they lost the reverse fixture 3-1 earlier this term. Leaders Troyes have won three games on the spin, scoring eight goals, but Annecy have found the net in eight consecutive home matches.

Cremonese have found goals hard to come by recently and their relegation fears could depend against fellow strugglers Fiorentina, who have shown signs of life on the road.

Shamrock Rovers have scored twice in each of their first three away trips, including a 3-2 loss at Bohemians and a 2-2 draw with Shelbourne. Drogheda United have lost three straight games, with over 2.5 landing in each.

Wolves have scored only five goals across their 14 away trips this season, losing to nil on eight occasions. The visitors have also given up 4.55 Expected Goals across their last two away games, so back a Brentford side who have a quality finisher in Igor Thiago to make them pay with a dominant home win.

Derby have won eight of their 12 visits to teams outside the top 10, and sixth-bottom Portsmouth have suffered three straight defeats at Fratton Park. Both teams have scored in five of Portsmouth’s last six Championship games, while the hosts are without a clean sheet in their last eight league matches.

Derby have conceded in four away wins this season, and Portsmouth have suffered three 2-1 defeats at home.

Both teams have scored in Den Bosch’s last five matches, and the visitors have averaged over two goals per game on their travels this term. Den Bosch have scored in 14 of their 15 home matches, while PSV Reserves have shipped 33 goals in 15 on their travels.

Both teams have scored in each of Shelbourne’s six league games this term, and they host leaders Bohemians, with the visitors finding the net in every game. The pair have shared nine goals across their previous two meetings, and this should be another open affair.

Wolves have given up 4.55 Expected Goals across their last two away games, so back a Brentford side who have a quality finisher in Igor Thiago to make them pay.

Levante have won only one of their last five visits to Vallecas, losing the other four – with at least three goals scored in each contest. Rayo Vallecano have scored 12 goals and conceded only four times in their current six-match unbeaten run, which has seen them hit three goals on three separate occasions.

They meet a Derby side who have conceded 23 times in 18 away trips this term, while both teams scored in the reverse fixture. Derby have conceded in four away wins this season, and Portsmouth have suffered three 2-1 defeats at home.

Igor Thiago has 18 Premier League goals this term, and the forward scored twice at West Ham in the FA Cup last week. The forward has scored five goals against the league’s bottom four this term, and he meets a Wolves side that concedes too many chances.

Derby have won eight of their 12 visits to teams outside the top 10, and sixth-bottom Portsmouth have suffered three straight defeats at Fratton Park.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
