This Saturday marks another weekend of some solid fixtures across Europe. Teams in the European competitions would be gearing up for another week to show their stuff in midweek, but the primary focus would be on this weekend’s games. There is an abundance of fixtures to choose from for this weekend’s selections, and we have carefully curated the best selections for our readers today.
Straight Wins.
In their match against Nantes on Matchday 26, PSG will try to maintain their lead in the standings after thrashing Olympique Marseille 3-0 in the Ligue 1 rivalry. In anticipation of impending trials, Les Parisiens are ready to defend their championship, and their performance in “Le Classique” is undoubtedly giving supporters cause for hope. Les Canaris, in contrast, struggled in consecutive losses to Lens (1-3) and Rennes (1-0), and given that PSG has transformed their Parc des Princes into a true fortress, we are tempted to favor the home team. Bet9ja have 1.30 odds, Paripesa have 1.33 odds and 1xBet have 1.33 odds.
Villarreal’s bad patch appears to be over after they defeated Getafe in the most recent round to snap a four-game losing streak, but it remains to be seen if the Yellow Submarine can now go on a winning streak. In the most recent round, the Yellow Submarine defeated Getafe to snap a four-game losing streak, while Almeria shocked everyone by defeating Barcelona 1-0 at home. Both clubs come into this match in excellent spirits, but Villarreal has the advantage on paper. Also, they have performed better than Almeria altogether this season, so the visitors winning is our initial Almeria versus Villarreal prediction. Bet9ja have 2.18 odds, Paripesa have 2.21 odds and 1xBet have 2.21 odds.
With a 3-1 victory over their rivals last month, Manchester City appeared to have taken back control of the title race from Arsenal. However, the Citizens immediately dropped points with a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest, and as a result, the Gunners went five points clear at the top of the table by winning the game in question. Although they have lost just one of their last seven games to the Magpies—a 3-3 draw in the first meeting—Manchester City will take heart from their strong record versus Newcastle. Manchester City is currently in excellent shape. They are winning practically all of the games. Newcastle, on the other hand, has recently had trouble. Choosing Manchester City to win is a wise choice. Bet9ja have 1.46 odds, Paripesa have 1.51 odds and 1xBet have 1.51 odds.
While Tottenham is focused on qualifying for the Champions League, the hosts are fighting for their Premier League lives this year. Last weekend, Tottenham hosted a struggling Chelsea team, and despite the first half ending scoreless, Tottenham performed admirably in the second 45 minutes to earn a significant three points. Spurs are attempting to complete the domestic hat trick over their opponents after defeating Wolves 1-0 in the teams’ previous league meeting. Our pick is an away victory. With Wolves, Tottenham has triumphed in four of the last five encounters, including the last two journeys to Molineux. Wolves are without a win in their last three matches, picking up one draw and suffering two defeats, while Tottenham has won three of their last four league games. Bet9ja have 2.28 odds, Paripesa have 2.25 odds and 1xBet have 2.25 odds.
Despite a fantastic run of victories and accomplishments, Union Berlin lost its last two games. While they were poised to overtake Bayern Munich as league leaders, they lost to Bayern Munich and failed to defeat Schalke at home in a scoreless match. As a result, Bayern Munich is now back in the first place. Union Berlin is still very much in the title chase even though Bayern is ahead of them by three points. The next match between Union Berlin and Cologne is crucial for them. Cologne, meanwhile, has only had one victory in their previous six Bundesliga games and has been inconsistent recently. Our prediction is for Union to win since they are also the game’s host. Bet9ja have 1.94 odds, Paripesa have 2.01 odds and 1xBet have 2.01 odds.
Over 2.5
Newcastle is aiming to make a comeback to the Champions League, while Man City is after yet another league championship. We’re hoping that this weekend’s match will be as exciting as the one between these two clubs that finished in a 3-3 tie the last time they met. Five of their past six Premier League games have resulted in more than 3.5 goals, including the epic 3-3 tie at St. James’ Park earlier in the season. Recent matches between these two teams have a history of being jam-packed with goalmouth action. At least three goals have been scored in four of Man City’s previous six games across all competitions, and in each of those high-scoring games, Guardiola’s team has scored at least three goals. Bet9ja have 1.67 odds, Paripesa have 1.74 odds and 1xBet have 1.74 odds.
Before their matchup with Gladbach on Saturday, Freiburg has dropped two of their last three Bundesliga away games. This season, Borussia Monchengladbach has produced some impressive home performances, and the excitement levels in their high-profile victories have consistently been high. At least four goals have been scored in six of their past seven games at Stadion im BORUSSIA-PARK, and there may be more excitement to come when they host Freiburg. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of the visitor’s last seven away league games, thus we predict that trend will continue in Saturday’s match. Bet9ja have 1.73 odds, Paripesa have 1.81 odds and 1xBet have 1.81 odds.
The Saints are currently last in the standings and six points below Leicester, but this matchup might still be decided by the fact that both sides were eliminated from the FA Cup by lower-league opponents in midweek. In each of the previous three meetings between these two clubs, at least three goals were scored. You can see why we are betting on goals in Saturday’s late kickoff since over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Southampton’s and four of Leicester’s previous six games across all competitions. Bet9ja have 1.96 odds, Paripesa have 2.05 odds and 1xBet have 2.05 odds.
Almeria accomplished what no one anticipated of him by defeating league-leading Barcelona in the final round after suffering three straight defeats. Almeria currently sits two points above the top team in the relegation zone with 25 points from 23 games. Our second Almeria versus Villarreal prediction is that there will be three or more goals scored in the game since the last three head-to-head meetings between Almeria and Villarreal have gone above 2.5 total goals. Almeria’s 2.96 goals per game average in La Liga this season, which is the second-highest average in the league, is another noteworthy statistic. Villarreal, on the other hand, only scored 2.14 goals per game on average, but we still expect a large number of goals in this encounter. Bet9ja have 1.75 odds, Paripesa have 1.82 odds and 1xBet have 1.82 odds.
Only one of Bournemouth’s previous nine Premier League games has ended in victory, and this season, they have given up a league-high 48 goals. Despite their poor performance, their record versus elite opposition is their biggest problem. The visitors have lost six out of their last eight encounters with teams in the top half, all by a score of 0 to 0. The Cherries suffered losses to Liverpool (9-0), Man City (4-0), and United (3-0). The opposition enters this match with a record of losing all eight of its Premier League contests against teams who opened the day atop the standings, surrendering 27 goals in the process. It’s difficult to imagine this going well for the guests. For Arsenal, this could be the easiest game they face at the Emirates this season. Bet9ja have 1.58 odds, Paripesa have 1.66 odds and 1xBet have 1.66 odds.
Anytime Goal scorers
Gabriel Martinelli
Martinelli top scores for the Gunners this season with 11 Premier League goals. The Brazilian scored twice in midweek against Everton and the 21-year-old is in red-hot form right now with 4-goals in his last three league games for the Gunners, so you can see just why we’ve backed Martinelli to score against relegation-battling Bournemouth this weekend. Bet9ja have 2.50 odds while Paripesa have 2.15 odds.
Alvarez
The 23-year-old striker was on target in City’s last league game against Bournemouth, scoring his 5th league goal of the campaign. The Argentine World Cup winner hasn’t had a lot of opportunities to impress this season but we’re hopeful that Pep will keep him in the side for Saturday’s clash with Newcastle and that the strike will repay his manager’s faith with a goal. Bet9ja have 2.85 odds while Paripesa have 2.50 odds.
Ollie Watkins
The primary striker for Aston Villa is enjoying a strong run of form. In his last five games for the team, the England international has scored. If Watkins has another productive 90 minutes in front of the goal, he could be the deciding factor for the hosts. With eight goals in the Premier League alone this season, Watkins leads all scorers for Aston Villa. After losing favor with Villa’s previous boss Steven Gerrard, Watkins has established himself as unreplaceable under Emery. Watkins is undoubtedly the player to watch in this game as he is now playing with great confidence and scoring goals for joy. Bet9ja have 3.00 odds while Paripesa have 2.87 odds.
Hugo Ekitike
Hugo Ekitike is one of PSG’s youngest strikers and the future of the team. The 23-year-old appeared in 17 games this season scoring three goals while also assisting three times. He played in only 35 percent of available minutes. With the expected rest that is coming for Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, Ekitike will get a chance to improve his goalscoring record. This PSG vs Nantes prediction is focused on the home team’s youngest players to produce in this round 26 match.Bet9ja have 2.75 odds while Paripesa have 2.25 odds.
Harry Kane
This season, several instances have shown that Tottenham’s captain is frequently the one to step up and make a difference when his team needs him. With 18 goals this season in the Premier League, Kane is by far the club’s leading scorer. We are betting on Kane to have a strong game and score during what is predicted to be a very tight and contested 90 minutes at Molineux. Kane is the most likely to score this weekend for the visitors because 13 of his 18 league goals this season have come as the opening score in Tottenham matches. Bet9ja have 2.30 odds while Paripesa have 2.15 odds.
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.
