19:45 Parma v Juventus
Juventus (AH) -1.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-128
Win
39
I saw Juventus show no mercy to Sassuolo on the road two months ago. They kept attacking no matter the score and won 3-0 in that fixture. That side was in much better shape at the time than Parma is right now, as Parma just lost 4-0 at Atalanta last round.
19:45 Strasbourg v PSG
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-161
Win
31
Strasbourg has a long unbeaten run and even won last round 4-1 on the road at Lille. PSG had a 2-1 loss in the Champions League at Sporting CP and only a 1-1 home draw with Newcastle, missing out on the top-8 places, and lost here 2-1 last season. BTS.
19:00 FC Volendam v Go Ahead Eagles
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-188
Win
26
Eagles remain a solid mid-table side, maybe not as good as at the end of last season when they even won the Dutch Cup to play in Europe until this week. They are certainly not that solid defensively in games where they are expected to attack more.
18:00 FCSB v FK Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-188
Lose
-50
Ciuc may not be bottom in the league, but it is for sure not due to their away performances; it is due to their home games and points won at home. I watched them last year near the end lose 5-0 at Craiova, 4-1 at Rapid, or 3-1 at CFR Cluj. Lost this year 3-0 at Otelul. Over 2.5 goals.
17:30 Getafe v Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-113
Push
0
In previous seasons, Getafe used to have a reputation for being one of the roughest sides in the league. Now they are just 2-0-5 at home, facing a Celta Vigo side that won not so long ago 1-0 at Sevilla and, earlier, 2-0 at Real Madrid.
17:00 Cremonese v Inter Milan
Inter Milan (AH) -1.50
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-117
Win
43
Even though this season Cremonese was able to score away at Inter Milan, they were left with a 4-1 defeat in the end. Inter is very strong at home and rarely gives cheap points. I even back them to win by a minimum two-goal margin here.
16:30 Borussia Dortmund v Heidenheim
Borussia Dortmund (AH) -1.75
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-121
Lose
-50
Times are getting hard for Heidenheim, who are bottom of the league right now after an awful display at home, losing 3-0 to Leipzig. Dortmund won their last three league games, twice by 3-0, and I back the handicap on them.
16:30 Tottenham v Man City
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-149
Win
34
Tottenham conceded between 2??"3 goals in their last three Premier League games, but also scored between 1??"2 goals in all those fixtures that had a total of 3??"5 goals. A 2??"1 home loss to West Ham and a 2??"2 draw last round at Burnley. I take over 2.5 goals here.
16:15 Angers v Metz
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-117
Lose
-50
They met at Metz this season, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw, so this bet was won back then. Metz had a 1-1 draw at in-form Lorient and a 2-1 loss at Strasbourg, a tough side, in their last two away games. I back BTS.
16:15 Nice v Brest
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
Nice won against Brest no less than 6-0 here at home last season. They are not having the best of seasons but ended a poor run in the league last round by beating Nantes 4-1 on the road, while Brest lost their last two games.
16:15 Toulouse v Auxerre
Toulouse
50 WIN
@-133
Lose
-50
The guests have 5 losses in a row right now as they sit inside the relegation zone at this stage. They are not scoring much and cannot keep a clean sheet, of course, with so many losses in a row. Toulouse is pushing for the top places and just last round won 2-0 at Brest.
15:45 Heerenveen v FC Utrecht
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-161
Win
31
I saw Utrecht play some really decent football against Lyon at home at the start of their Europa League group stage, even though they lost that fixture in the end. The hosts just lost 2-0 at home to Groningen and I back BTS here.
15:15 Farul Constanta v CS U Craiova
CS U Craiova
50 WIN
@-113
Lose
-50
Craiova started this round as the league leaders. They smashed Petrolul 4-0 on the road this year, and also won at home 2-0 against FC Boto?ani. They have been better at defending under their new coach and are the better team here.
15:15 Real Betis v Valencia
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-128
Win
39
Betis have much better results in all competitions compared to Valencia in recent years. Yet Valencia drew here 1-1 last season and won 4-2 at home against Betis. This season they met at Valencia and it ended 1-1. I would rather back BTS.
14:30 VfB Stuttgart v SC Freiburg
VfB Stuttgart
50 WIN
@-142
Win
35
Stuttgart won 5-0 against Freiburg at home two seasons ago when they ended up 2nd in the league, and 4-0 at home against the same Freiburg last season when they won the cup. Both played in the Europa League this week, but Freiburg had a trip to France, which they lost 1-0 at Lille. I back the home win.
14:15 Paksi v Ferencvarosi TC
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-188
Open
0
Ferencváros does not have the best results this year. They lost in the league 3-1 at home to Gy?'r and lost their final Europa League group game in England 4-0 at Nottingham. They still made it to the next round. I take over 2.5 goals here.
14:00 Aston Villa v Brentford
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-124
Open
0
Brentford is 3-0-8 on the road this season. 20 goals conceded with 12 goals scored ??" almost 3 goals per away game. No draws yet. Aston Villa are 8-1-2 at home but lost twice this season to Brentford. I take over 2.5 goals scored here.
14:00 Como v Atalanta
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-133
Lose
-50
When Atalanta was not doing so well with disaster coach Juric in charge, Como settled for a point at Atalanta and defended hard at the end of the game. They might regret that decision, as now Atalanta is super strong with a 6-1-1 record lately. I back BTS here once more.
14:00 Levadiakos v Asteras Tripolis
Levadiakos
50 WIN
@-142
Win
35
Asteras is in really poor shape right now, with no fewer than four losses in a row, even losing twice to OFI Crete. That is something they cannot be proud of. The hosts are really strong this season, even defeating PAOK 4-1 in the Cup.
14:00 Lyon v Lille
Lyon
50 WIN
@+100
Win
50
They faced each other not so long ago in the French Cup. The game was held at Lille, but Lyon had few problems winning 2-1 in normal time. Lille lost 2-0 at home to Rennes, 3-0 at PSG and 4-1 at home to Strasbourg in their last three league games. I back the hosts.
14:00 Man Utd v Fulham
Man Utd
50 WIN
@-163
Win
31
Man Utd just won away at Arsenal 2-1, and before that defeated second-placed Man City, their biggest city rivals, 2-0 here at home. Fulham lost their last away game at Leeds 1-0. Although not a bad side, against United in such form I have to back the home win.
14:00 Nottm Forest v Crystal Palace
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@+110
Open
0
Nottm Forest with a recent 2-0 win away at Brentford and a big win in Europe against Ferencváros, no less, 4-0 at home. They have goals in them, while Mateta and Johnson can always provide goals for Palace despite a slump in terms of form.
13:30 Heracles v Fortuna Sittard
Fortuna Sittard (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-128
Lose
-50
Including the cup loss to Go Ahead Eagles, Heracles has reached six losses in a row. They are a big relegation candidate this season, as I really do not see a worse side so far. They have very few points, while Fortuna Sittard is much stronger.
13:30 PSV v Feyenoord
PSV
50 WIN
@-136
Win
37
Feyenoord was in much better form than they are now when they played at PSV in the league last season and stood no chance, being crushed here by the hosts. The visitors were prevented from scoring while 3-0 down, so I back the home win.
13:00 Real Madrid v Rayo Vallecano
Real Madrid (AH) -1.75
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-117
Lose
-50
I watched this fixture last season when Rayo played here. Vinícius Júnior made a complete joke of the well-rated right-back R?du?, the Romanian international from Rayo on the right of defense, as Real took just a 2-0 lead and settled for a 2-1 win without forcing the issue.
11:30 Torino v Lecce
Under 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-200
Win
25
Lecce ended the losing run but could only get a hard-fought point at home with Lazio last round after another game where they failed to score, as it ended 0-0. They are too negative with their tactics and will, once more, be defensive-minded here.
11:15 Excelsior v Ajax
Ajax
50 WIN
@-124
Lose
-50
It is not like the hosts are a super-strong side for Dutch top-league level, as in fact they are fresh this season from the 2nd league level. Ajax is a monster club in the Netherlands, and they have claimed all six points on the road in the Champions League group stage this season.

50 WIN
@-200
Win
25
When Monaco faces off against Rennes in the league or cup, the games are usually quite nice to watch. Both are attacking-minded sides that often face defensive-minded opponents in France, and goals are always on the menu when these two meet.
20:00 Elche v Barcelona
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-277
Win
18
Just last round Elche conceded 3 goals on the road at Levante and lost 3-2 with a really late goal in the final stage of the game. Barcelona defeated them 3-1 at home this season. I back over 2.5 goals being scored here, and also larger over bets.
20:00 Liverpool v Newcastle
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-188
Win
26
They met at Newcastle at the start of the season. It was a game with five goals in total, which Liverpool won 3-2. Games between them usually have plenty of scoring chances, so I take over 2.5 goals.
20:00 Sparta Rotterdam v FC Groningen
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-136
Lose
-50
They first met at Groningen this season in the league, and Sparta won there 2-0. Sparta won two tough games in a row on the road, winning 4-3 at Feyenoord and 1-0 at Utrecht at really big odds in both those games. They also won in the cup this season 5-2 at home against the same Groningen.
19:45 Cagliari v Verona
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@+162
Win
81
Cagliari: the last two times they were favorites they only lost 3-0 at Genoa and drew 2-2 after being 2-0 down at Cremonese in the league. Verona drew 2-2 at Napoli or won 3-1 against Atalanta from underdog status. I back over 2.5 goals.
19:45 Sint Truidense v Charleroi
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-149
Lose
-50
For some years, several clubs in Belgium have brought many players from Japan, and probably the hosts, Sint-Truiden, have the most such players in their squad. Four wins in a row, and Charleroi with three wins in a row. I back BTS here.
19:30 Kaiserslautern v Elversberg
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-142
Win
35
Last season this fixture ended 1-1. This season, the fixture at Elversberg was won by the hosts 2-1. Elversberg lost here two seasons ago 3-2. I watched that game and really enjoyed it, as I backed over 2.5 goals.
18:00 Lorient v Nantes
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-109
Win
46
Nantes is still in the bottom zone of the league, having lost last round 4-1 at home to Nice. Lorient have 9 points from their last five home games and are unbeaten with three draws and two wins. They also have two wins in a row on the road with five goals scored. I back BTS here.
18:00 Rapid Bucuresti v Universitatea Cluj
Rapid Bucuresti
50 WIN
@-105
Lose
-50
Rapid won both league games since the winter break and will push for a third win in a row this year. Cluj have been really poor on the road this year ??" at Dinamo they could have lost that fixture 4??"5??"0. I back Rapid, who won days ago 2??"1 at a strong UTA, to win here.
18:00 Volos NFC v Larissa
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@+150
Lose
-50
Larissa is a newly promoted club with back-to-back wins in the league right now as they fight hard to avoid relegation. They hosted Volos, and the game ended with seven goals scored in total as Volos won 5-2 and I backed over 2.5 goals.
17:45 PEC Zwolle v Telstar
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-133
Win
38
We have a relegation clash. Neither team is quite desperate, but the points would be more than welcomed for both teams in their attempt to get further away from the bottom three places in the league. Telstar is good on the road and Zwolle is good at scoring goals, so I take over 2.5 goals.
17:30 Chelsea v West Ham
Chelsea
50 WIN
@-175
Win
28
Chelsea just secured a top-8 finish in the Champions League group stage in quite some style, leaving the Italian title holders Napoli out of the competition. Chelsea came from behind 2-1 to win in the second half 3-2, and I back their win here.
17:30 Hamburg v Bayern Munich
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-249
Win
20
Bayern played lazy in their final two games in the Champions League group stage, even missing a penalty through Kane while 2-0 ahead and down to 10 men at home against Union from Belgium. They also won a few days ago just 2-1 at PSV. But goals are always on the card in their fixtures.
17:30 Levante v Atletico Madrid
Yes (BTTS)

50 WIN
@-149
Lose
-50
Levante played modestly in just one game since the ex-Nantes coach took charge. It was on the road at Real Madrid, where they kind of settled for a small loss from the start. But in this game they should fight, and I back both teams to score.
17:30 Maccabi Haifa v Ironi Tiberias
Maccabi Haifa (AH) -1.50

@-117

-50
Ironi Tiberias are only in their second consecutive season in the top league in Israel. They are in quite deep trouble with relegation at this stage and have been out of shape in recent rounds. They also lost here 4-0 last season.
17:30 Ujpest v Puskas Academy
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-136
Lose
-50
When they met at Puskás Akadémia at the start of the season, that fixture was just a nil draw. It was still early in the season, and Újpest rated it as a good result. Puskás are not inside the top four and are quite some distance from that zone. They have five more points than Újpest, who have been both scoring and conceding lately.
17:15 Beitar Jerusalem v Hapoel Haifa
Beitar Jerusalem (AH) -1.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-124
Lose
-50
Beitar won at Hapoel 3-2 this season. Hapoel has been doing really badly in the recent two months. They lost in the State Cup 0-5 to Maccabi Tel Aviv, and they are just 0-1-4 recently in the league with many losses by a minimum two-goal margin.
17:15 Zulte Waregem v Westerlo
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-161
Lose
-50
Zulte is a bad memory for me, costing me money from the time they were in Europe 20 years ago. But they are scoring and conceding goals in most games this season, at home or away, and their last fixture at home against Westerlo in 2023 ended 1-1.
17:00 Napoli v Fiorentina

Napoli and Fiorentina were excellent last season in Italy. Napoli won both fixtures against Fiorentina: 3-0 on the road and 2-1 at home as they clinched the title. This season they played at Fiorentina and won 3-1. I back over 2.5 goals here.
16:45 Slaven Belupo v NK Varazdin

2nd game this year in a row on the road for Varaždin, who one week ago won 2-1 at Gorica, also completing the over 2.5 goals bet. They already played at Slaven once this season, where they were defeated 3-1, and I back over 2.5 goals.
16:00 Paris FC v Marseille

Total Goals
50 WIN
@-136
Win
37
Marseille just got left out of Europe after two 3-0 losses, against Liverpool at home and Club Brugge KV away. They missed progressing to the next round on goal difference. In the league they hosted Paris FC and won 5-2, so I backed over 2.5 goals.
15:30 AZ v NEC

Total Goals
50 WIN
@-227
Win

NEC won this term 2-1 at home against AZ. They dominated the fixture until they made it 2-0. The goals came really easily as AZ defended quite poorly and did not create much going forward, but they did score a late goal to see over 2.5 goals being scored.
15:15 Osasuna v Villarreal
Osasuna (AH) 0.00

Osasuna has two league wins in a row right now. I watched them last round a few days ago as they scored two late goals against tough Rayo and ended up winning 3-1 in a really tough away fixture. Villarreal have four losses in a row.
15:00 Brighton v Everton
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
Everton won here last season with a simple 1-0. They hosted Brighton this season and won that fixture as well, 2-0. Brighton has been scoring goals lately but not winning games, as they have a soft defense overall. I back BTS here.
15:00 Leeds v Arsenal
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@+100
Lose
-50
I am not scared by the fact that Arsenal won 5-0 this season at home in the Premier League against Leeds, because Arsenal had two extra games lately, winning first 3-1 at Inter and just days ago 3-2 with Kairat in the Champions League. I take BTS here.
15:00 Wolverhampton v Bournemouth
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-149

-50
The only game for Bournemouth on the road in the Premier League this season without both teams scoring was also their only win so far, as they defeated Tottenham 1-0. Otherwise, only draws and losses in which they mostly scored with BTS.
14:30 Augsburg v St Pauli
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@+120
Win
60
Praise has to go to the Augsburg players and staff, as they were 1-0 down at Bayern with 15 minutes left and won the game 2-1 in the end. Now, St. Pauli, with a really modest season, has a habit of scoring late goals when behind, so I back BTS.
14:30 Eintracht Frankfurt v Bayer Leverkusen
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-161
Win
31
Leverkusen had extra games recently in the Champions League, while their recent league run produced a better result: last round they hosted Werder and won 1-0. However, they can be quite soft defensively at times, and Eintracht is the perfect club to back for goals being scored.
14:30 RB Leipzig v Mainz
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-175
Win
28
Leipzig were lazy bums the past two rounds on the road but got away first with a 3-0 win at modest Heidenheim. but St. Pauli just last game posed them a different threat keeping hold of the ball and finding spaces in the Leipzig defense with ease as they drew late 1-1, and I back BTS here.
14:30 TSG Hoffenheim v Union Berlin
TSG Hoffenheim
50 WIN
@-105
Win
47
Hoffenheim proved their strength. They were 1-0 ahead at Werder last round and totally in control of the game when they received a red card for an ugly tackle that did not stop any dangerous attack. They scored again with 10 men and won 2-0. I back a fifth win in a row this year here.
14:30 Werder Bremen v Borussia Mgladbach
Borussia Mgladbach (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap

@-102
Win+Push
25
It is hard to find a side that plays more awful football in the Bundesliga right now than Werder Bremen. They tried to be defensive-minded some days ago at home against Hoffenheim, even conceded a second goal to 10-man Hoffenheim, and could not create much 11 vs. 10 for more than 30 minutes. Away side to get a result.
