20:00 Basel v Viktoria Plzen
Viktoria Plzen
Basel has lost the last 3 Europa League games, all of which they have conceded at least 2 goals, despite scoring in all of those. Plzen is 17th, and would be keen to maintain their slot, as a direct ticket to the top 8 could be a bit tricky. I think they deserve a win here.
Viktoria Plzen & No (Result + BTTS)

Plzen arrives here on a 5-game unbeaten streak. We have seen Basel struggle a lot at home lately. I would consider a defensive approach for this match, but Plzen can win narrowly. I think Plzen is the favourite for the 3 points, and they are real avoid conceding a goal.
20:00 Deportivo Riestra v Defensa y Justicia
Deportivo Riestra & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Both of these went winless in their first match of the year 2026 and failed to score. Riestra will be under pressure after already losing 1-0 in their opener and must utilize the home advantage very well. I believe they will fight for the 3 points, but also expect Defensa y Justicia to score. They have been in good form and better form even before these fixtures.
20:00 FC Porto v Rangers
Rangers
Back in 2019, Rangers beat Porto 2-0 in the 2nd leg of the Europa League series that year. Now they arrive here on an 8-game winning streak, and six of those have been clean sheets, meaning they have really improved their defensive backline. Porto is the favourite, but I'm sure they are confident of a playoff slot, so there's a lot of pressure. Rangers will not qualify by any means, but on current form, I feel like they deserve the 3 points.
Rangers & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Rangers have been in recent fine form, arriving here on an 8-game winning streak, 6 of those being clean sheets. Porto remain the favourites, but they are already assured of a playoff spot. The last time these two teams met, Rangers won 2-0, and I still believe that this time around, Rangers would be happy to secure the three points, but also expect both teams to score.

20:00 Genk v Malmo FF
Malmo FF
50 WIN
@+1000
Lose
-50
Genk has been very poor playing at home lately and is winless in the last 5 home games. I understand Malmö was not lucky in this competition and is winless for the 7 rounds. It would be a big achievement to get at least a win in the final league phase match. On these odds, I wager a win for Malmö.
20:00 Nottm Forest v Ferencvarosi TC
Ferencvarosi TC
Ferencváros and Freiburg remain the only teams unbeaten in the Europa League phase so far. Nottingham has been very inconsistent, and despite Ferencváros arriving here on a 5-game winless streak, I still believe they have the quality to book a direct ticket to the last 16 at the top 8. Remember that Ferencváros has not lost any of its 17 away competitive games. With Nottingham in poor home form lately, I fancy a narrow win for the visitors.
Ferencvarosi TC & Yes (Result + BTTS)

This will be a very tough match. Nottingham will be missing their key goalkeeper, and a few other players are inactive. They are coming off a 2-0 away win against Brentford over the weekend, so Ferencvaros remains unbeaten so far in these competitions (4W, 43D), scoring 12 goals while conceding 7 in the 7 rounds. I fancy a win for Ferencvaros, and also Nottingham Forest to score.
20:00 Panathinaikos v Roma
Panathinaikos
50 WIN
@+525
Lose
-50
Roma has lost 3 of their last 6 away games. Panathinaikos is unbeaten for the last 5 home games (4W, 1D), and 4 of those games have been clean sheets. Note that Panathinaikos is very strong, and they are also fighting to remain in the play-offs. I wager a win for the hosts. Note also that they have not lost to Roma in the last encounters (2W).
20:00 Real Betis v Feyenoord
Feyenoord
Feyenoord sits 26th, just 2 points off Celtic, who are holding the 24th slot in the playoff. Betis sits 8th and would be glad to maintain the direct ticket in the top 8, but lately their form has dipped, losing the last 2 games. Feyenoord is still one to get a chance in the playoffs, and that's why I believe Feyenoord could be a better pick for the 3 points.
20:00 VfB Stuttgart v Young Boys
Young Boys
50 WIN
@+1300

-50
The odds favour Stuttgart, with Young Boys losing the last 7 games. However, Young Boys are 23rd, a position they can secure tightly in the play-offs if they get a win here. I will be risking a win for Young Boys.
Young Boys & Yes (Result + BTTS)

I believe Stuttgart will be a clear favourite as they welcome Young Boys, but I believe Young Boys will also be seeking a win. Stuttgart is coming off a 3-0 away win against Mönchengladbach, and here at home, we expect them to score. I think I pick Young Boys as they sit in a very risky part of missing out on the play-offs.

These two are 1 point apart, and the last time they met, they drew 1-1. Lusitânia is coming off a 2-2 draw after suffering a 4-0 defeat earlier than that. Benfica B drew 0-0, and I believe that as they welcome Lusitânia it would be a big chance for the hosts to get goals. I think I will consider a BTTS.
17:30 Al Qadisiya Al Khubar v Al Hilal Riyadh
Al Hilal Riyadh
50 WIN
@+104
Lose
-50
Hilal has not lost a single league match and has been good offensively, scoring 45. After coming off a 1-1 draw against 10-man Al Riyadh, it's time these visitors try to widen the gap between them and both Al Ahli and Al Nassr. It will be a tough match, but I hope they get the 3 points.
Al Hilal Riyadh & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Hilal is yet to lose a single league match. With Qadisiya in top form and also seeking to grab a top-3 slot, I expect both teams to be very intense and both to score. For me, I still find value in a win for Hilal.
15:00 Al Fateh SC v Al Ittihad Jeddah
Al Fateh SC
50 WIN
@+500

-50
Al Fateh has now gone 3 games without a win, and that could change a shaky welcome for Ittihad, who have also had a shaky run of results lately. Back in April last year, Al Fateh beat Ittihad here 2-0, so I still believe the hosts can get a win.

20:00 Arsenal v Kairat Almaty
Kairat Almaty
50 WIN
@+8000
Lose
-50
I believe Arsenal are now under immense pressure with the EPL being in jeopardy. They have lost at the Emirates to Man Utd, reducing the gap to 4 points. They have a tough match away against Leeds over the weekend. Kairat Almaty, on the other hand, has not won a single match in their debut season of the Champions League. I would be very impressed if they got a win here. If Mikel Arteta rotates his squad, it might end poorly for Arsenal today. I wager a very risky bet on Kairat Almaty.
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
Arsenal already has 21 points at the top, having won all seven of their games. This is their last match of the league phase, so there might not be as much pressure on them. They have a tough game on the weekend ahead of travelling to Leeds, so I believe Kairat will have all the chances here at their disposal and could push for a win. That's why I chose BTTS.
20:00 Atletico Madrid v Bodo/Glimt
Bodo/Glimt
50 WIN
@+950
Win

Bodø/Glimt beat Man City 3-1. Comparing the quality of Atlético Madrid with Man City, one would be convinced of Man City being the bigger side otherwise. I think if Bodø plays the same football we saw against Man City, even here the 3 points could be at their disposal.
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
Bodo/Glimt is in fine form lately and beat Man City 3-1 last week. Atletico Madrid has scored in the last 4 CL games, so I believe this match will have goals coming from all sides.
20:00 Liverpool v FK Qarabag
FK Qarabag
Both of these two lost their respective league matches. Liverpool conceded 3 to Bournemouth in their 3-2 away defeat away from Anfield. Qarabag lost 2-0 at home to Kapaz. I believe they reserved the squad for this matchup, and Qarabag is much more offensive. After that 3-2 win over Leverkusen last week, Qarabag still could be the favorite. Liverpool is currently not in very good form.
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-136

Both teams lost five games ahead of this fixture. Liverpool lost 3-2, while Qarabag lost 2-0. I believe each side will be willing to redeem themselves, so the goal market on BTTS is more valuable.
20:00 Man City v Galatasaray
Galatasaray
Man City at Etihad remain the clear favourites, after beating a struggling Wolves only 2-0 over the weekend. However, Galatasaray sits at the top of the Turkish Süper Lig, having won 3-1 on the road against Karagümrük. Man City may face the wrath of ?lkay Gündo?an, who gave 2 assists to his side's 3-1 win, and with Victor Osimhen back on the scoresheet last weekend, I think Man City will have a tough time, with their backline struggling with injuries. I wager a win for Galatasaray.
Yes (BTTS)

Man City welcome Galatasaray as the favourites, and it's Etihad Stadium. Galatasaray is not afraid after recording a 3-1 away win over the weekend and is looking to end their three-match winless Champions League run. I believe they will be very keen to score. I wager that each team will score.

Galatasaray won 3-1 ahead of this match, while Man City won 2-0. Man City has been oozing at their backline. Despite having improved their offensive options, they remain inactive for this game. Their defense is a big gamble right now. I pick Galatasaray for the 3 points. Galatasaray are on a 3-game winning streak, all of which they have at least conceded a goal in each.

Doncaster

@+110
Win
77
Leyton Orient has been very poor on the road, winning only 2 of their last 11 away games (2W, 9L). Doncaster is on thge relegation zone, and playing at home should hand them a slight advantage, so I choose a win for the hosts. who are really seeking to get out of the relegation zone.
20:00 Fiorentina v Como
Como

@+104

Como is now back on winning ways and has scored 9 goals, and hasn't conceded a goal in those 2 wins. In the last season, Como beat Fiorentina home and away in Serie A, and here, as they face each other in the Coppa Italia, I expect another classic game from Como, who just won 6-0 against Torino on Saturday. I wager a win for Como
Como #4-0

@+4000

Como has now won their last 3 away games. I'll have Como on a 3-0 scoreline, with Fiorentina sinking in poor form. With Como just winning 6-0 against Torino on Saturday last weekend, I would wager 4-0 for Como.
20:00 Reading v Exeter
Exeter
Exeter has scored 6 goals in their last 2 league wins and arrives here on a 5-game unbeaten streak in the league. Reading has not been in good form; they sit 10th but could still be hopeful of a playoff slot before the season ends. I think Exeter is the favourite here despite these two sharing the same points.
19:45 Blackpool v Stockport
Stockport
Stockport held leaders Cardiff to a 1-1 draw and sit 5th, compared to Blackpool, who sit 17th. Given that they have won the last 3 encounters against Blackpool, who were on a 4-game losing streak before beating Northampton 2-0 (who are in the relegation zone), I wager a win for Stockport.
19:45 Bolton v Burton Albion
Yes (BTTS)

Bolton has been more consistent compared to Burton. That's why they are considered the favourites here. Burton is only 1 point above the relegation zone and would need a good result here. I believe they can even open the scores. For such a tight match, I would consider a BTTS.
Bolton & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Bolton welcomes Burton as the clear favourite at home grounds, so let's hope they don't disappoint. But also expect Burton to score. Remember, they beat Bolton 3-0 in the first leg, and are not badly off lately offensively.
19:45 Bromley v Crewe
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-120
Win
41
Bromley is enjoying a very nice run of form currently, unbeaten for the last 9 games. They failed to score only in the 0-0 draw against Chesterfield. Two of the last three encounters between these two sides have seen both teams score, so I believe this will be an open match, and both teams are expected to score.
19:45 Cambridge Utd v Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury
50 WIN
@+550

-50
Cambridge welcomes Shrewsbury as the clear favourite, but Shrewsbury is only 1 point above the relegation zone and really needs results to stay safe in the league. After that 5-1 defeat to MK Dons, Shrewsbury will be the underdogs here, but I would rather consider them for the 3 points, as they seek to remain safe in the league.
Yes (BTTS)

Cambridge has not lost any of the last 8 league games (5W, 3D), and has scored in all of those. Shrewsbury are at risk of getting back to the relegation line and must fight for a goal here, and if possible, get the 3 points. I would consider the BTTS.
Shrewsbury & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Shrewsbury beat Cambridge 2-0 in the reverse fixture, and now would be keen to also get a win here. But with Cambridge riding on a much better form, I also expect them to score. I would pick Shrewsbury for the three points, though they have been so poor defensively.
19:45 Chesham v Hornchurch FC
Hornchurch FC
50 WIN
@+110

Hornchurch is very delighted to get back to the top of the league, and sit now 2 points clear of Worthing, who are on 50 points and have already played 27 games. I think Hornchurch can't afford to lose this match after they won what seemed a tough game against Weston-super-Mare. I wager a win for Hornchurch.
Hornchurch FC & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
Hornchurch has 4 wins of their 6 away games, but only matched the one clean sheet. Chesham is unbeaten for the last 3 games, and in the last 3 encounters we have seen these teams score against each other. I agree a win for Hornchurch, with BTTS.
19:45 Huddersfield v Luton
Huddersfield
60 WIN
@+125

Luton is winless in the last 6 away matches (2D, 4L). Huddersfield is enjoying a fantastic home record with 6 wins and 3 draws in their last 9 matches. I wager a home win.

Lincoln City

Bradford City has been very poor on the road, winning only 2 of their last 12 games (2W, 3D, 7L). Lincoln City sits in 2nd place and has enjoyed a fantastic home record (6W, 1D, 2L). I pick Lincoln for the 3 points.

Ebbsfleet arrives here on a 4-game unbeaten streak on the road, with 6 wins over the last 7 games. Maidstone has been very shaky lately, with 2 wins in their last 6 games. With Ebbsfleet seeking to secure their play-off slot and winning the last 5 league games, it is a big boost for them. I wager a win for the guests.
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-117

-50
The odds look very good on a BTTS. Maidstone has scored in 6 of their last 7 home games. Ebbsfleet is on a good winning streak, so they could be the tempo setter in this game. I expect this match to be very intense, but with goals from both teams.
19:45 Notts County v Swindon
Notts County
50 WIN
@+120
Win
60
Swindon has now lost three consecutive matches, which includes two defeats in league play. Notts County is set to host Swindon and is currently just one point behind them in the standings. This presents a significant opportunity for Notts to move ahead. Notts has won two of the last three encounters against Swindon (2 wins and 1 draw), so I believe Notts is the favorite to secure all three points in this match.
19:45 Plymouth v Mansfield
Mansfield
50 WIN
@+300
Lose
-50
The two are on 36 points, but Mansfield stands out as more defensively alert. Plymouth has scored 34 goals but has conceded 39 instead. It will be tough to decide the winner, but for me, I pick Mansfield for the 3 points. Remember the reverse fixture was Plymouth 2-0.
19:45 Rochdale v Southend
Southend
56 WIN
@+220
Lose
-56
Southend recently had a match that ended in a 3-3 draw. They have not lost any of their last 6 games, winning 4 and drawing 2. Southend is clearly playing more aggressively than Rochdale, which is in 2nd place. The visiting team is trying to reach the playoffs, so Southend looks likely to win. Southend has not lost to Rochdale in their last three meetings, with 1 win and 2 draws.
19:45 Salford City v Chesterfield
Salford City
50 WIN
@-109
Lose
-50
Salford has not lost any of its last 8 league games (6W, 2D) and welcomes Chesterfield on a 10-game unbeaten streak (8W, 2D). Chesterfield has won only 1 of their last 7 away games(1W,4D,2L), so I doubt if they can match Salford's current form. That's why I pick a win for Salford.
19:30 Newport County v Accrington Stanley
Newport County
50 WIN
@+220
Lose
-50
Newport has won 3 of the last 4 games they have hosted Accrington Stanley. The hosts have 2 clean sheets in their last 3 home games (2W, 1D). I expect Newport to have another good performance, as they are not safe and face relegation worries at 23rd position. I would prefer a win for Newport County.
Newport County & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
This is a very interesting match to watch. With Newport on the rise and back to fine form to remain safe in the league, they really need this win. I believe Accrington will also score, so for me, I pick a home win with BTTS.
19:30 Werder Bremen v TSG Hoffenheim
TSG Hoffenheim (AH) -0.50

50
Hoffenheim has not lost any of its last 5 (4W, 1D), while Werder Bremen is winless in the last 9 games and is now just 3 points above the relegation zone. With Hoffenheim sitting 3rd, I think they are exceptionally the favourites ahead of this match.
