Yesterday was a pretty decent day although with some unexpected results. The most shocking result saw Real Madrid lose 2-1 to Levante on home turf while Arsenal vs Manchester United ended in a drab goalless draw at the Emirates.
For our featured match (Arsenal vs Manchester United), none of the tips came through as the 0-0 score-line means both teams did not score and we could not even see a goal talk less of three.
Moving to the straight wins, four out of six came through. Only Real Madrid and Borussia Monchengladbach disappointed us in this section. Over to the goal market section, only one out of four played out correctly. Most of the games here saw 2-0 score-lines and one more goal could have changed the narrative.
Finally, two out of five players scored as we predicted with Lewangoalski doing his thing and Lukaku bagging a brace. Haaland could have scored as well but missed a penalty. Benzema and Ronaldo drew blanks in their games.
A good number of games lie in wait today and we’ll be expecting a netter success rate with our tips for the day.
Straight Wins
Tottenham are expected to take all three points when they travel to take on Brighton. Winless in 14 home league games (D7, L7), Brighton & Hove Albion remain threatened by relegation as they sit in 17th place. Tottenham suffered a disappointing 3-1 loss to Liverpool last time out and we can see them bouncing back with a win today. Bet365 have 2.35 odds, Bet9ja have 2.36 and 1xbet have 2.40.
A win for PSG over Lorient will see them topple Lyon and move back to the top of Ligue 1. Les Parisiens are unbeaten in their last five, winning four of them and we can see them taking all three points against a side in 19th place and in the relegation zone. Bet365 have 1.14 odds, Bet9ja have 1.16 and 1xbet have 1.17.
Napoli are huge favorites to beat Parma when they welcome them to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Gattuso’s men suffered a shock 3-1 loss to Hellas Verona last time out and a return to winning ways will be fierce on their agenda. Napoli face a Parma side in 19th place and only two wins all season. Parma have lost four out of their last five league games and we’re predicting yet another loss for them today. Bet9ja and Bet365 have 1.30 odds while 1xbet have 1.32.
A tough clash awaits when Eredivise leaders Ajax take on fourth place AZ Alkmaar. AZ Alkmaar have been in decent form of late and their eight game unbeaten run came to an end when they lost to Utretch last time out. Ajax have four consecutive wins from their last five games and we’re tipping them to make it five. The reigning champions might have to work hard for their win but their quality should see them through. Bet365 have 1.75 odds, Bet9ja have 1.80 and 1xbet have 1.84.
Atletico to win Cadiz Atletico Madrid lead the La Liga by seven points with two games in hand and they’ve been the most consistent side by far. Diego Simeone’s men have recorded seven straight consecutive wins and we’re tipping them to make it eight when they take on Cadiz.
Over 2.5 Goals
Atalanta and Lazio will take on what is expected to be an interesting clash in the Serie A. Both sides are on impressive form at the moment and it makes things interesting. Only Inter have scored more than Atalanta in the Serie A this season and they need no introduction as an attacking side. Both teams have also seen over 2.5 tip play through correctly in three out of their last five games and we can see it happening once again today. Bet9ja have 1.47 odds, 1xbet have 1.50 and Bet365 have 1.53.
We already tipped Ajax to win and we expect at least three goals in the game against AZ Alkmaar. With 63 goals scored in the Eredivisie so far, Ajax have an average of 3.32 goals per game and that alone gives us confidence for the over 2.5 tip coming through. Bet9ja and Bet365 have 1.44 odds while 1xbet have 1.45.
Roma and Verona will lock horns in a game with good potential for goals. Roma ended the 19th matchday of this Serie A (SA) season just six points off the top, with a thrilling 4-3 win vs Spezia (Jan 23) boosting the total match goals average across their league outings to 3.84 per game. Following that thriller, four of Roma’s last five SA home outings have produced over 3.5 match goals. Verona are in decent form as well and they could easily score a goal as well or even a shock win. Bet9ja have 1.60 odds, Bet365 have 1.66 and 1xbet have 1.72.
Wolfsburg and Freiburg take on each other in a game that could be crucial for European spots. It is also a game with a good potential for goals. Freiburg’s last five games have all seen over 2.5 goals while Wolfsburg have seen it play out trice in their last five. We’re expecting at least three goals tonight. Bet9ja have 1.70 odds, Bet365 have 1.72 and 1xbet have 1.81.
After struggling to score goals in 2021, Liverpool have now seen over 3.5 goals come through in their last two games. Believe it or not, West Ham are the most in-form side in the Premier League after Manchester City as it stands. Their last two games have also seen over 2.5 goals come through. Given that only two points separate both sides at the moment coupled with Liverpool’s incosnsitency of late, it makes for a match with a good goal margin. Bet9ja have 1.60 odds, Bet365 have 1.61 and 1xbet have 1.67.
Anytime Goal-scorer
Messi
The Argentine maestro will be aiming to return back to the top of the La Liga scoring charts with a goal or two today. He will also be aiming to take his revenge against a Bilbao side that beat Barcelona to the Spanish Super Cup on a day where he saw red. Count on him to be at his best today. Bet365 have 1.53 odds for him to score while Bet9ja have theirs at 1.75.
Suarez
Suarez is the current joint-top scorer of La Liga with 12 goals to his name and he’ll be aiming to add more to his tally. The Uruguayan has three goals in his last two games and he’ll fancy his chances of continuing his impressive form against Cadiz. There could be value here with Bet365 offering 2.00 odds and Bet9ja offering 2.10.
Salah
The Premier League’s top scorer will be aiming to get back in the goals (league) after ending his goal drought in the FA Cup. Salah saw a disallowed goal against Tottenham last time out and he’ll be fired up to score goals that count and will perhaps inspire his side to another win. Bet365 have 1.66 odds while Bet9ja have it better at 2.20.
Son
Only Salah has scored more Premier League goals than Son this season and that shows how much he has impressed for Spurs. The South Korean is without a goal in his last three games and a game against Brighton represents a good chance for him to get back in the goals. With Harry Kane injured, he is now the number one man for Jose Mourinho regarding goals. Another potential value tip with Bet9ja offering 2.37 and Bet365 putting theirs at 2.75.
Mbappe
Despite going on a recent goal drought, Mbappe remains the Ligue 1 top scorer with 14 goals to his name this season. He scored last time out against Montpellier and he is a good shout to score against a struggling Lorient side with one of the poorest defences in Ligue 1 this term. Bet365 have 1.40 while Bet9ja have theirs at 1.50.
