The weekend closes off with some spectacular games today with a lot of potential goals and match-winning antics. Europe’s elite would be preparing for their final games in all European competitions in the group stage respectively.
We have carefully selected the best options for today’s game below.
Straight Wins.
Lorient lost a bit of their momentum by drawing the last two games, but still, have a good chance of catching the leaders PSG. Nice will have a different issue this week, playing in Europe Conference League. It’s an important game so there will be a sense of urgency, and the Lorient game will have to be put on the back burner. Lorient, on the other hand, doesn’t have that problem. They will have plenty of time to prepare for their Ligue 1 encounter and try to defend their eight-game unbeaten run. Bet9ja have 2.55 odds, Paripesa have 2.54 odds and 1xBet have 2.54 odds.
Schalke and Freiburg lock horns at the VELTINS-Arena in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Freiburg is a favorite to pocket three points when they visit Gelsenkirchen this weekend. Schalke’s 2-1 loss at Hertha Berlin last weekend was their fifth reverse on the bounce in the Bundesliga and with relegation fears starting to mount, there has been a change in the dugout and Thomas Reis will take charge of the team for the first time this weekend. Facing a new manager bounce won’t frighten a Freiburg team flying high in the third spot, however, especially after Christian Streich’s charges restored some confidence with a 2-0 win over Werder Bremen last time out. Freiburg has the class to overcome any resurgence in Schalke’s ranks on Sunday so side with the visitors here. Bet9ja have 1.97 odds, Paripesa have 1.95 odds and 1xBet have 1.95 odds.
Real Sociedad is aiming to bounce back from last weekend’s shock loss to Valladolid when they host Real Betis on Sunday. Real Sociedad suffered an unexpected setback last weekend when they were turned over 1-0 at Valladolid, though La Real’s other results in recent weeks have been exceptional. Their 2-0 win over Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday was their ninth victory in ten fixtures in all competitions and on Sunday, they will take on Real Betis at an opportune time. The visitors have dropped points in four of their last five La Liga assignments and with their confidence dented, they could be worth opposing again here. Bet9ja have 2.05 odds, Paripesa have 2.15 odds and 1xBet have 2.15 odds.
AC Milan sits just 3pts off the Serie A leaders Napoli but failure to win this weekend could see Lazio and Atalanta move ahead of the Rossoneri, so the pressure is on. Torino has the home advantage on Sunday and heads into the game on the back of an excellent away win against high-flying Udinese. AC Milan is unbeaten in their last seven games against Torino, picking up six wins and a draw, so you can start to see why we’re backing the visitors to secure all 3pts on Sunday. Udinese has lost three of their last five league games while AC Milan has won four wins from their last six matches in all competitions, adding plenty of weight to our prediction for Sunday’s head-to-head in Turin. Bet9ja have 2.15 odds, Paripesa have 2.15 odds and 1xBet have 2.15 odds.
Union Berlin and Monchengladbach meet at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei in the Bundesliga on Sunday, October 30th. Leaders Union Berlin is aiming to bounce back from defeat when they host Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Union Berlin is looking over their shoulders nervously from the summit of the Bundesliga following an expected hiccup at Bochum last weekend, though the division’s surprise early pace-setters should be able to find their footing again against Gladbach. Bayern Munich remains the only side to have left the Stadion An der Alten Försterei with a point this term and Union’s ability to dig out results in front of their vocal home supporters should get them over the line against Gladbach on Sunday. Bet9ja have 2.08 odds, Paripesa have 2.08 odds and 1xBet have 2.08 odds.
Over 2.5
Cologne welcome Hoffenheim to the RheinEnergieStadion for a Bundesliga clash on Sunday, October 30th. Hoffenheim has had the upper hand on Cologne in recent encounters. Alongside a history of positive results for Hoffenheim, this fixture also has a track record of producing excitement. Indeed, seven of the last eight skirmishes between these familiar foes have featured at least three goals and another glut of action could be on the cards in their latest head-to-head on Sunday. The net rattled five times in each of Cologne’s last two home assignments and all the right pieces are in place here for another thriller. As a consequence, we recommend backing over 2.5 goals to hit the net again. Bet9ja have 1.55 odds, Paripesa have 1.55 odds and 1xBet have 1.55 odds.
Fiorentina has a good record against Spezia but just 1pt separates the two clubs in the Serie A table and the pair lock horns on Sunday at the Stadio Alberto Picco in La Spezia. Neither side can claim to have made a good start to the season but more was expected of Fiorentina who has found wins hard to come by. These two teams have only met four times before and on each of those occasions, over 2.5 goals have been scored. Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games of late with four of Spezia’s and four of Fiorentina’s last six outings in the league and cup witnessing at least three goals being scored, which only adds further weight to our prediction. Bet9ja have 1.86 odds, Paripesa have 1.96 odds and 1xBet have 1.96 odds.
AC Milan sits just 3pts off the Serie A leaders Napoli but failure to win this weekend could see Lazio and Atalanta move ahead of the Rossoneri, so the pressure is on. Torino has the home advantage on Sunday and headed into the game on the back of an excellent away win against high-flying Udinese. The season before last, AC Milantraveledd to Torino and came back with a massive 7-0 victor,y and while we’re not expecting that many goals this weekend, we are backing at least three to be scored. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the host’s last five outings as well as in four of AC Milan’s last six fixtures, so you can see why we’re backing goals in this game. Bet9ja have 2.08 odds, Paripesa have 2.16 odds and 1xBet have 2.16 odds.
Newly-promoted Cremoneseise finding life in Serie A tough having only managed to pick up 4pts from their opening 11 matches and they are yet to win a game this season. Visiting Udinese have made a fantastic start to the season but have dropped off in recent weeks following a run of three league games without a win. Each of the last three meetings between Cremonese and Udinese has ended with at least three goals being scored, and we’re hopeful of being treated to another goal-fest this weekend. Four of Cremonese’s last six outings in league and cup have witnessed over 2.5 goals scored while five of Udinese’s last six fixtures have also produced at least three goals, adding plenty of weight to our prediction. Bet9ja have 1.68 odds, Paripesa have 1.74 odds and 1xBet have 1.74 odds.
Real Madrid and Girona meet at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu for a La Liga fixture on Sunday, October 30th. Real are overwhelming favorites to pocket three points this weekend. Real Madrid slipped up at RB Leipzig in the Champions League in midweek, though Los Blancos have been imperious domestically where they have won ten of their 11 matches since the summer. Real have been averaging 2.54 goals per game in the Spanish top flight this term and they plundered three goals in each of their last three assignments in the division, including El Clasico against Barcelona. Carlo Ancelotti’s side looks full of goals at present and we’re tipping them to net over 2.5 of them against Girona on Sunday. Bet9ja have 1.40 odds, Paripesa have 1.42 odds and 1xBet have 1.42 odds.
Anytime Goalscorers
Valverde
Federico Valverde’s reputation seems to rise with every stellar performance he produces and his match-winning displays seem to arrive every week. The marauding Uruguayan midfield managed to get his name on the scoresheet in each of Real Madrid’s last three La Liga fixtures and his ability to find the net can be taken advantage of in the markets this weekend. The champions are expected to create plenty of chances against an ordinary Girona outfit on Sunday and Valverde is priced generously to convert one of them. Bet9ja have 4.00 odds while Paripesa have 3.50 odds.
Gabriel Jesus
Arsenal’s top goal scorer this season is due a goal this weekend having failed to find the back of the net in his last five matches in all competitions. The former Man City striker last scored against Tottenham in the North London derby win and has netted 5-goals in the Premier League so far this season. The Gunners are going to create a lot of chances against this Nottingham Forest side and our money is going on Jesus to score at least once during the 90-minutes. Bet9ja have 1.85 odds while Paripesa have 2.05 odds.
Giroud
Milan manager Pioli might consider giving Olivier Giroud a start after he scored against Dinamo during the week, particularly as the Frenchman also scored the last goal seen in this particular H2H. The forward hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down despite his age. AC Milan needs the striker in top form as they look to retain their title also this season. His partnership with Rafael Leao upfront would be key to his goalscoring and it has been good. Bet9ja have 3.00 odds while Paripesa have 2.61 odds.
Matta Zaccagni
With Immobile looking likely to miss this game through injury, we’re backing Lazio’s second top scorer in Serie A this season, Mattia Zaccagni, to score against Salernitana on Sunday. The former Verona striker has scored three goals in his last four appearances in Serie A, so the 27-year-old is in good form right now and enjoying some extended playing time in the Lazio side. Bet9ja have 3.50 odds while Paripesa have 3.10 odds.
Ademola Lookman
Ademola Lookman scored in three consecutive games for Atalanta before the defeat to Lazio, with three of his four goals this season also second-half strikes. The Nigerian forward has been impressive this season with four goals in 11 games he has had a good start to his career at Atalanta. His side is a free-scoring one and we are sure of goals today. Bet9ja have 3.50 odds while Paripesa have 3.20 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.
