Both Teams to Score Long Haul Accumulator
Tuesday – Queen of the South vs Cove Rangers
The Scottish playoffs begin on Tuesday night, with third-placed Queen of the South hosting second-placed Cove Rangers in League One. The pair are chasing Championship football after a strong finish to the season, with the hosts sealing third after winning five of their final six games.
Cove Rangers wrapped up their campaign with a 4-2 win at Annan on Saturday. The visitors have some defensive concerns going into this one, as they’re without a clean sheet in six. However, they’ve been in scoring form of late and they can trouble a Queen of the South side that have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last nine at home.
Wednesday – PSG vs Arsenal
Arsenal had chances to level this tie in the first leg, but they were routinely exposed defensively by PSG. The Gunners should offer more going forward once Declan Rice is restored to a more attacking role, with the Premier League side knowing they need to take the game to PSG at some point.
PSG’s previous 11 matches across all competitions have finished with both teams scoring on nine occasions. Girona and Brest are the only two sides to fail to score in PSG’s seven home games in the Champions League this term.
Thursday – Chelsea vs Djurgarden
There’s little jeopardy for Chelsea on Thursday following their 4-1 victory in Sweden last week. The Blues haven’t really been worried throughout this Conference League run, but they have struggled to maintain focus at times.
The Blues won 3-0 at Legia Warsaw in the last round, before falling to a 2-1 home defeat to the Polish side. They also lost away to Servette in the qualifiers after taking a first-leg lead.
Djurgarden staged a second-leg comeback at Rapid Vienna in the last round, winning 4-1 after extra time. The Swedish side have scored in six of their last seven trips in the Conference League, so they can net at Stamford Bridge.
Friday – Wolfsburg vs Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim are five points above the bottom three with two games to play, but they have a chance to secure survival in Friday’s visit to struggling Wolfsburg. The hosts have lost six of their previous seven, while they’ve lost three on the spin at home.
Hoffenheim took a step towards safety with a 4-4 draw at Gladbach on Saturday. Five of their previous six games have finished with both teams scoring, while this Wolfsburg outfit are struggling to keep clean sheets.
Saturday – Benfica vs Sporting
The penultimate weekend in the Primeira Liga features a clash between the top two, who are locked together on 78 points. Despite that, we should get some entertainment in this high-stakes derby.
Both teams have scored in seven of the last eight meetings between these sides. The pair are also the highest scoring sides by some distance. Sporting have netted 85, Benfica have 82, while third-placed Porto are on 60.
The title is decided on head-to-head record, where Sporting hold the edge. That means Benfica aren’t in a position to sit back, but a win for the visitors would seal the title. With both sides fresh from shaky 2-1 wins, back both teams to score in this showdown.
Sunday – Manchester United vs West Ham
West Ham failed to beat a distracted Tottenham side last weekend, which extended their winless run to eight games. Graham Potter’s side look shaky defensively, with both teams scoring in each of their previous five.
Manchester United lost 4-3 at Brentford on Sunday, with the Red Devils prioritising the Europa League. A changed side should follow Thursday’s clash with Athletic Bilbao, but United risk slipping to 17th if they lose this game.
Both teams have scored in three of United’s last four league games as they focus on their European run, so more goals are expected at Old Trafford.
