A very busy week lies in wait and predictions at this point will be rather difficult. At this point, managers would be forced to rotate and lots of results would be affected. Regardless, we’ll be doing what we know how to do best with our well-researched tips.
After yesterday’s results, we’ll aim to do even better today and keep up with our current impressive form as we bring you the most likely tips and betting predictions to come through across action from Europe’s top five leagues.
Game to watch out for: Chelsea vs Manchester United
Top of the table Chelsea host Manchester United on Sunday evening in what looks like the Premier League’s showpiece event this weekend.
Both sides enjoyed victories in the Champions League earlier this week, although it is Chelsea who head into the game in more convincing form, with the 4-0 thumping of Juventus marking Thomas Tuchel’s 50th game in charge perfectly. Chelsea look like the side in better but you’ll be wrong to write off a Manchester United side under new management.
Straight Wins
St Etienne have won just one of their last eight home league matches (D4, L3) and have not beaten Paris Saint-Germain in a home league H2H since September 2008 (D6, L6). PSG’s midweek 2-1 UEFA Champions League (UCL) defeat to Manchester City was not what the team expected but they are sure to look for a win here as e means to recover. PSG have all the advantages to bag more points against Saint-Etienne on Friday. While this trip has always come with challenges because PSG only managed first-half victory in three of their last trips to Etienne, we think the visitors will now channel their energy to Ligue 1 after securing a playoff spot in the Champions League. Bet9ja has 1.33 odds, Paripesa has 1.34 odds and 1xBet has 1.34 odds.
Serie A leaders Napoli welcome Lazio to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday. Napoli put their unbeaten home record on the line when they host Lazio in Naples on Sunday. After losing tier first game of the season to Inter Milan, they would be looking to bounce back against Lazio here today. Napoli are the early pace-setters in Serie A this season and their climb to the top of the table has been fuelled by their excellent form at home. The Partenopei have won five of their first six league assignments at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and with their vocal supporters pushing them on, we’re tipping them to beat a Lazio team they dismantled 5-2 at the same venue in April. Bet9ja has 1.83 odds, Paripesa has 1.85 odds and 1xBet has 1.85 odds.
AC Milan have won five of their last six home games in Serie A ahead of their clash with Sassuolo at San Siro. AC Milan enjoyed Champions League success over Atletico Madrid in midweek and the Milanese behemoths are our tip to record another victory at Sassuolo’s expense on Sunday. Milan are level on points with Serie A leaders Napoli thanks largely to their superb results at San Siro. The Rossoneri have won five out of six matches on home soil and they can pocket another three points against a Sassuolo outfit that has won only one of their last five tussles on the road. Bet9ja has 1.56 odds, Paripesa has 1.58 odds and 1xBet has 1.58 odds.
Manchester City have won each of their last five home league encounters with West Ham. This means picking them here was the right choice, Man City won for the fourth game on the bounce in midweek when they came from behind to oust French giants PSG 2-1 in the Champions League, we’re tipping Pep Guardiola’s impressive Cityzens to claim the spoils against West Ham in similar style on Sunday. Manchester City has won each of their last five home league meetings with the Irons. Pep Guardiola’s City can take command in the early exchanges of their fixtures, particularly at the Etihad Stadium. The Cityzens have the quality to exert their influence over the Irons right from the first whistle on Sunday. Bet9ja has 1.30 odds, Paripesa has 1.32 odds and 1xBet has 1.32 odds
The defending champions of Spain are doing well this season in La Liga as well, currently sitting in fourth place and four points behind their city rival Real at the top. Meanwhile, Cadiz has just one win in the last six games in the league and they are one point away from the relegation zone. This alone is enough to make our bet on Atletico Madrid to win in this match, along with the fact that Atletico beat Cadiz in two of their previous three meetings. Bet9ja has 1.63 odds, Paripesa has 1.65 odds and 1xBet has 1.65 odds.
Over 2.5 Goals
Brentford and Everton meet to battle it out for three Premier League points on Sunday. Brentford have been both scoring and leaking plenty of goals of late and as a result, their matches have been hugely entertaining affairs. Their pulsating 3-3 draw at Newcastle last weekend was the fifth time in six games involving the Bees where over 2.5 goals rattled the net and we expect more action when Brentford hosts Everton on Sunday. It’s worth noting that the Toffees’ last three contests averaged 4.33 goals per 90 minutes and a similar level of net-shredding drama is anticipated this weekend. Bet9ja has 2.13 odds, Paripesa has 2.22 odds and 1xBet has 2.22 odds.
Despite losing Napoli losing star striker Osimhen due to a facial injury this game still promises to be a goal affair. Lazio has been both scoring and conceding plenty of goals this term, making them one of the most exciting teams to watch in Italy and beyond. Five of their last seven matches have produced over 2.5 goals and the same market appeals for their clash with Napoli on Sunday. The last two tussles between the teams in Naples delivered 11 goals and we expect more thrills and spills when they face off again this weekend. Bet9ja has 1.66 odds, Paripesa has 1.66 odds and 1xBet has 1.66 odds.
This fixture is expected to yield at least three goals. Our argument is premised on the fact that these teams are in great scoring form. And since we are backing PSG to get all points here today it cannot be achieved without goals. On the other hand, PSG has struggled with poor defending this season. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last five matches and only managed one clean sheet in the last nine matches. With Nantes starting resurgence, the hosts are now unbeaten in four games and scored in all their last six games. We are strongly backing the hosts to score at least once in this fixture. Bet9ja has 1.38 odds, Paripesa has 1.42 odds and 1xBet has 1.42 odds.
League leaders Chelsea are aiming to cement their position at the summit of the Premier League with a win against struggling Man Utd. It would be a tough call selecting who would win here today in a very tense fixture. United have been at sixes and sevens in their own third this season and matches involving the club have produced plenty of goalmouth action as a result. Seven of their last ten games in all competitions delivered over 2.5 goals, while their last five Premier League contests averaged 4.2 goals per 90 minutes. Chelsea has the class and quality to expose United again on Sunday and the over 2.5 goals market appeals once more as a consequence. Bet9ja has 1.68 odds, Paripesa has 1.76 odds and 1xBet has 1.76 odds.
Club Brugge had no answer for RB Leipzig, who scored five past them without a response. Leipzig will be looking to exact a similar result against Bayer Leverkusen, who pay them a visit at the Red Bull Arena today. While not normally known for their involvement in high-scoring fixtures, RB Leipzig has seen four of their last five fixtures conclude with an Over 2.5 total goals tally. They will be hoping to give Bayer Leverkusen a taste of their newfound love for scoring goals. With both sides scoring ten and eight goals in their last five matches, respectively, we are backing a high-scoring result to this Bundesliga meeting. Bet9ja has 1.54 odds, Paripesa has 1.56 odds and 1xBet has 1.56 odds.
Anytime Goalscorers
Mbappe
The youngster has had an incredible showing and he sure is buzzing to talk about it. Mbappe has been on the score sheet in over four consecutive matches for PSG and even France in the just concluded WC qualifiers. Today Nantes would not be able to stop him in his tracks as he would love to add to his goal tally to see him win the golden boot this season. Bet9ja has 1.70 odds while Paripesa has 1.668 odds.
Suarez
After leading Atletico Madrid to their first title since 2014, Luis Suarez keeps banging away for the team in the new season as well, despite his advanced age and a few injury issues he had. So far, the Uruguayan striker has scored seven goals in twelve games in La Liga and he also added one goal in his four matches in Champions League. We can see him scoring at least once against Cadiz as well. He is certain to find the back of the net here today. Bet9ja has 2.25 odds while Paripesa has 2.05 odds.
Insigne
Napoli talisman Lorenzo Insigne scored two of his team’s five goals when Lazio last visited the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, indeed, the diminutive winger found the net in each of the last three meetings in Naples between the Partenopei and their opponents from the capital. With that record providing plenty of impetus, we’re tipping the Italian international to make his mark again on Sunday. He is surely the write man to help them score today. Bet9ja has 2.55 odds while Paripesa has 2.45 odds.
Benzema
The Frenchman has sure been inspirational this season for Real Madrid. With ten goals and seven assists, Karim Benzema has contributed to 53% of Real’s league goals, though just two were match openers. Now facing Sevilla who would prove stubborn to this test we are backing him to score and get an impressive performance here today. Bet9ja has 2.20 odds while Paripesa has 1.91 odds.
Vardy
Leicester’s top PL scorer Jamie Vardy has scored a penalty in each of his last three home appearances against Watford. England forward has been the light in what seems to be a very long tunnel for this Leicester side that have not been doing so well in the league. Watford is a good team but Vardy has the experience to make sure his side has a fighting chance in this season’s various competitions. With his good record against them, also he will score today. Bet9ja has 2.10 odds while Paripesa has 1.85.
