Another interesting round of league action awaits as the football season draws nearer and nearer to a close. While certain clubs solidify their title winning ambitions, others must fight to stay afloat and some will also look to make European spots as well. The best of league action continues and we bring you the likely betting tips and predictions to go with from all of the day’s action.
Straight Wins
Inter Milan could move top of the table this weekend if they beat Torino and the AC Milan result goes in their favor on Saturday. We’re backing the Nerrazurri to do just enough to win this game as they have done on each of the last five occasions they have taken on Torino in Serie A. Torino have lost three and drawn three of their last six league games while Inter Milan have seen their form dip of late but did secure a 5-0 win in their last match in Serie A against Salernitana. Bet9ja have 1.66 odds, Paripesa have 1.67 odds and 1xBet have 1.67 odds.
Atalanta host Genoa in Serie A this weekend and it’s the hosts that head into the game as the clear favorites to win. Atalanta sit 5th in the table as things stand and needs a win on Sunday to remain in the race for the Champions League places, while Genoa is battling for their Serie A status. Atalanta are unbeaten in their last six games against Genoa, three of which have ended in victory. The hosts have also won three of their last five matches and have kept clean sheets in their last two victories, while Genoa has failed to win any of their last six games and have failed to score in four of those matches, so you can see why we’re backing a win for the home side. Bet9ja have 1.35 odds, Paripesa have 1.37 odds and 1xBet have 1.37 odds.
After terminating the series of three consecutive defeats, Eintracht Frankfurt are now with two wins in a row before this game but Bochum have won only one game in the last four attempts. The Eagles are not having a great time in their recent home games, remaining winless in the last four attempts. But the same is true for the rivals in their away games. However, Slipper Kickers have won all of the last four hosting games against Die Unabsteigbaren. So, we believe the host to make the home advantage once again and add three points to their position. Bet9ja have 1.88 odds, Paripesa have 1.93 odds and 1xBet have 1.93 odds.
After earning an impressive away draw against Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen succumbed to Atalanta on the road. Their task is not made easy as top-seven hopefuls Cologne make the trip to Bay Arena. Gerardo Seoane will be pleased with his side’s away efforts in the last week and will now be looking for a favorable result at home. They are unbeaten in their last nine matches at the Bay Arena, registering seven wins in the process. Cologne is winless in their last three away fixtures and has not won against Die Werkself in their last four trips. With momentum and home advantage on Leverkusen’s side, we expect them to continue their winning stride at the Billy Goats’ expense. Bet9ja have 1.64 odds, Paripesa have 1.66 odds and 1xBet have 1.66 odds
After a goalless draw in the first leg of their Europa League Round of 16 ties, Barcelona will have one eye on their upcoming trip to Turkey, although any slip-up here can potentially pull them out of La Liga (LL)’s top-four spots. The Nou Camp faithful will hope that the midweek draw was an aberration, as Barcelona’s last three LL home games saw them defeat each of their opponents emphatically. A visit by Osasuna should cheer up the home fans, as Barça has won seven of their last eight LL home H2Hs against the ‘Rojillos’. This should be a tricky one for this newly improved Barcelona side and we are sure of them delivering the three points here today. Bet9ja have 1.34 odds, Paripesa have 1.36 odds and 1xBet have 1.36 odds.
Over 2.5 Goals
Napoli could return to the top of the Serie A table this weekend with a win away at Verona. We’re expecting an entertaining 90-minutes between the two clubs on Sunday as both have great attacking options in their side but Napoli sit 16pts clear of Verona. We’re expecting goals in this game as Verona likes to play open, attacking football that often leads to goals being scored at both ends of the pitch. Four of the host’s last six outings in Serie A have produced over 2.5 goals, while two of Napoli’s last three fixtures have also witnessed at least three goals scored. Bet9ja have 1.82 odds, Paripesa have 1.93 odds and 1xBet have 1.93 odds.
The Gunners have won their last four league games while the Foxes have won their last three matches in all competitions, so we are expecting an entertaining 90-minutes at the Emirates Stadium. We’re predicting goals on Sunday between two teams in great form. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of Arsenal’s last three league games, while four of Leicester’s last six matches in all competitions have ended with at least three goals being scored. Vardy might miss the game but either Daka or Iheanacho will come in and offer a good goal threat for the visitors, while Saka and Martinelli are in decent goalscoring form for the hosts. Bet9ja have 1.60 odds, Paripesa have 1.67 odds and 1xBet have 1.67 odds.
Borussia Dortmund will go for a home attempt to clear-cut their lead of the points table against Arminia Bielefeld. Borussia Dortmund has flowed goals in their recent home games, scoring 18 in the last five. The hosts also scored 14 goals in their previous five overall outings. But Bielefeld stands on the opposite side of the spectrum in this regard, giving only two goals in the last five attempts. two of the last four H2Hs of the teams witnessed low-scoring outcomes, Arminia scoring only one. So, we see another low-scoring total in this meeting. Bet9ja have 1.44 odds, Paripesa have 1.45 odds and 1xBet have 1.45 odds.
Everton face the biggest week of their season with back-to-back home games in the Premier League against Wolves and Newcastle, two games that the home side simply has to win to give them any hope that they can escape the ongoing relegation battle and finish safely in mid-table. At least three goals have been scored in six of the last seven league meetings between these two clubs and we’re predicting over 2.5 goals to be scored in this weekend’s clash as well. Three of Everton’s and three of Wolves’ last six outings in all competitions have also witnessed at least three goals scored, so you can see why we’re expecting goals on Sunday. Bet9ja have 2.30 odds, Paripesa have 2.40 odds and 1xBet have 2.40 odds.
Off the back of an incredible unbeaten streak, RB Leipzig takes on against Relegation-threatened Greuther Furth. The hosts enter their home following their away defeat. The hosts didn’t produce a bunch of goals in their recent games, scoring six in the previous five games but their coming rivals have flowed goals recently. The Red Bulls scored 14 goals in the last four away attempts. So, we expect the same trend to be followed in this duel. Bet9ja have 1.55 odds, Paripesa have 1.64 odds and 1xBet have 1.64 odds.
Anytime Goalscorers
Saka
The young attacker for Arsenal has had a very impressive season so far and is now one of the instrumental pieces in Arteta’s plan for the club. With 8 goals this season in the PL, he would be looking to clock double figures here today. He has scored two goals in three matches and he would be facing a Leicester defense with not much quality today. Bet9ja have 3.15 odds while Paripesa has 2.37 odds.
Neymar
The loss at Real Madrid would surely leave the Brazilian star gutted that he missed out on winning the UCL yet again. The team cannot afford to slip up and lose the league also. Bordeaux sees him as a threat as Neymar has scored more goals against Bordeaux than any other Ligue 1 club (seven in six meetings). We are assured of another goal here today. Bet9ja have 2.00 odds while Paripesa have 1.70 odds.
Lautaro
The Argentine is back to scoring for his team, with successive goals in all competitions he is the one to look out for when Inter are on the charge. His side fought hard but his goal wasn’t enough to keep them in the UCL so they return to the Serie A and see if they can retain their title with no slip-ups here today. Lautaro Martínez loves playing Torino, having scored in four of the last five SA H2Hs, three times as Inter’s last scorer. Bet9ja have 2.30 odds while Paripesa have 2.30 odds.
Donyell Malen
Dortmund has turned to an unlikely source of goals in the absence of Haaland and he is not doing a bad job. He has stepped up for the team and he looks likely to score here today. We are sure of him getting a goal here today. Bet9ja have 2.30 odds while Paripesa have 1.78 odds.
Memphis Depay
Since his return from injury, he has been instrumental to this Barcelona side. Scoring important goals and match winners. Today, Osasuna is his unlikely opponent with this in mind he wound raring to go and impress his manager to keep his spot as the main man. He has the most goals for Barcelona in the league despite his injuries this season. Memphis Depay could be waiting for a late opportunity, as his last three LL goals have all come beyond the 80th minute. Bet9ja have 1.95 odds while Paripesa have 2.00 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.
