Both Teams to Score Long Haul Accumulator
Tuesday – Brest vs PSG
This all-French Champions League tie looks set to go PSG’s way, but the visitors have managed one clean sheet in their last nine games.
The hosts won four of eight games in the league phase and they’ve won six of their last nine across all competitions. Brest lost 5-2 at home to PSG in the league at the start of the month, so both teams to score appeals here.
Wednesday – Monaco vs Benfica
These two sides shared five goals when they met in November, with Benfica securing a 3-2 victory at Monaco. The pair finished neck-and-neck in the league phase, so there’s little between the pair going into the first leg of this playoff tie.
Visitors Benfica have been among the goals of late. Their previous five matches have featured a 5-4 loss to Barcelona, 3-2 victories over Estrela and Moreirense along with a 3-1 defeat at Casa Pia.
Both teams have scored in six of Monaco’s last eight following a 4-1 loss at PSG on Friday. Back more goals for the Principality side, who have scored twice or more in six of their previous seven at home.
Thursday – Porto vs Roma
Both of these sides have had their issues this season, with Claudio Ranieri stepping in to become Roma’s third manager of the campaign. He’s steadied the ship, but his side have conceded in eight of their last nine.
Porto have won once in their last eight, with three of their previous four ending in score draws. Roma conceded in all four trips in the last stage, but they can score against a Porto side who are struggling to string results together.
Friday – Magdeburg vs Cologne
League leaders Cologne head to fourth-placed Magdeburg on Friday for what should be an entertaining clash. Each of the hosts’ five clashes with the top six have featured both teams scoring, including a 2-1 victory at the pacesetters.
Magdeburg have the second-best attacking record in Germany’s second tier, but they’ve conceded 33 times in 21 games. Across their last five in the league they’ve picked up three 5-2 victories and suffered a 4-3 defeat, so back both teams to score.
Saturday – Aston Villa vs Ipswich
Each of Aston Villa’s last seven home matches have finished without a clean sheet, including two clashes with West Ham and victories over Celtic and Leicester. Defensive depth remains an issue for the Villains, which is something visitors Ipswich can take advantage of.
Both teams have scored in eight of the Tractor Boys’ last 10 away trips, with Kieran McKenna’s side failing to breach elite defences at Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in that stretch.
Sunday – Liverpool vs Wolves
Wolves aren’t expected to take maximum points at Anfield, but Vitor Pereira’s side have talent in forward areas. They have won 2-0 against Blackburn and Aston Villa in their previous two and while this is a bigger test defensively, the Old Gold have offered a lot going forward.
Liverpool have conceded in four consecutive Premier League home games, failing to keep clean sheets against Leicester and Ipswich in that time. Wolves have the third-worst defensive record in the division, but they’ve got enough quality to score in this trip.
