It was a good week, with the semifinals of the Europa League and the Champions League now set. It is a particularly good run for English sides, with four representatives across both competitions. We’ll be sure to cover both competitions until the very end.
Away from continental competition, we go back to league football which has been a major source of betting tips over the course of the season so far. Once again, we bring you the likely betting tips and predictions from Friday and Saturday’s action across Europe’s top five leagues.
Straight Wins
In-form West Ham United will be traveling to St James’ Park with a whole lot of confidence after a 3-2 win against Brendan Rodger’s Leicester side. With three wins and a draw in their last five matches in the Premier League, that shows how good they have been. They are the favorites going into this game. Newcastle United could also boast of an away win in their last game against Burnley at Turf Moor, but such performances haven’t been consistent enough. Once again, West Ham United are the favorites going into this game and we can see them taking all three points today. They have what it takes to win this tie. Bet9ja has 2.08, Bet365 has 2.05 and 1xbet has 2.14.
Over to the Bundesliga, Bayern Leverkusen take on Koln and are expected to win as well. Even though they drew their last match against Hoffenheim in the League, they still go into this match as the strong favorites to win without a doubt. Only points away from moving into the Europa league spot which has, Leverkusen are surely going all out for this one. They are unbeaten in sixteen of their last twenty-one official outings in all competitions. Coupled with the fact that they are playing with a Koln side short of confidence at the moment. Koln are winless in fifteen of their last nineteen games in all competitions, having managed to win just two of their games in the whole of 2021. Bet9ja has 1.64, Bet365 has 1.57 and 1xbet has 1.67.
Bayern Munich go into this game coming from a disappointing Champions League Clash against PSG in Paris on Tuesday. However, that wouldn’t stop them from getting a win against Wolfsburg in the league. They are five points clear at the top of the log with just six games remaining. They are going to channel all of their energy in making sure they win the Bundesliga in grand style. Bayern would be eager to get back to winning ways and we can see them extending their lead on top of the log. Bet9ja has 1.90, Bet365 has 1.90 and 1xbet has 1.95.
Still in the Bundesliga, we’re backing RB Leipzig to claim a victory as well. A win against their rivals will see them close the gap between them and log leaders; Bayern Munich to two points. Even though winning the Bundesliga seems like a mission impossible right now, there is no harm in dreaming. They take on a weak Hoffenheim side who are five points away from relegation. Having only one win and two draws in six matches, they are not the team to upset Leipzig. Bet9ja has 1.38, Bet365 has 1.36 and 1xbet has 1.41.
Over 2.5 Goals
Tottenham have overseen a terrible run of results in their last couple of games. A team that can’t hang on to a lead, a team that has conceded 10 goals in their last five games in all competitions. They take on an Everton team that has let in lots of goals into their net as well. It is going to be a mouth-watering clash in terms of goals. The chances of more than two goals in this game are on a high. Bet9ja has 1.97 odds, Bet365 has 2.00 while 1XBET has 2.04.
Fiorentina is a team that has made scoring and conceding goals a norm. We can be rest assured that their game against Sassuolo is one of the games that has got goals in it. For emphasis, Fiorentina have been involved in 23 goals in their last five matches. Also, the Sassuolo side has been involved in games with more than three goals in each of their last three matches. Bet9ja has 1.74, Bet365 has 1.72 and 1xbet has 2.07.
Monchengladbach take on Eintracht in a game expected to bring a fair amount of goals. Monchengladbach have scored eight goals in their last five games which is pretty much impressive. Likewise, they have conceded the same number of goals as well. It’s a game that will have lots of goals in it. Bet9ja has 1.47, Bet365 has 1.53 and 1xbet has 1.52.
In their last six games, Lille has scored a total number of 10 goals. They will be facing the Montepellier side that has scored 9goals in their last five games. This shows you how much more goals we should be expecting in this match. Bet9ja has 1.85, and Bet365 has 1.90.
All season long, Bayern have shown their goal-scoring prowess over and over again. Coupled with this, they also tend to concede goals somewhat easily. This always makes their matches easy pick for an over 2.5. Bet9ja has 1.50, Bet365 has 1.53 and 1xbet has 1.53.
Anytime Goal-scorer
Jesse Lingard
The Manchester United loanee has seemed to find a miraculous form of late. With a West Ham team in form, Jesse Lingard has scored a whopping eight goals in nine matches for his club, his best in a Premier League campaign. If you are looking for a goal-scorer in games for West Ham, Jesse Lingard is the man to call on right now. Bet9ja has 2.75, Bet365 has 2.50 and 1xbet has 3.00.
Andre Silva
He was one of the hottest prospects in Europe when he came into the limelight. He has shown us the reason for the hype with his scintillating form in front of goal. He is the next on the list in the Bundesliga goal-scoring charts after Lewan-goal-ski and has scored a respectable 23 goals in the league alone. He is surely worth a punt once again today. Bet9ja has 2.40, and Bet365 has 1.72.
Harry Kane
He needs no introduction as a certified goal-scorer and performer in big games. Harry Kane is the joint highest goalscorer with 19 goals, tied alongside Mohammed Salah. The hope of winning the Premier League golden boot this season will serve as a motivation towards getting a goal or two against Everton. Bet9ja has 1.90, Bet365 has 1.80 and 1xbet has 2.15.
Wout Weghorst
He is the main reason why Wolfsburg sit third place on the log and can finally start dreaming of European nights again. The attacker has amassed 18 goals in the league this season, making him our go-to man. If Wolfsburg are to get a goal in the game, it has to be this man. Bet9ja has 2.55, Bet365 has 2.00 and 1xbet has 2.00.
Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
