Bournemouth are in the midst of a rough patch with four defeats and no wins in their last five games. Chelsea lost at Leeds in midweek but have an excellent chance to respond with a victory against an out-of-form side who have struggled against the Premier League’s top six this season, back the Blues to leave with maximum points. When Chelsea win they have a habit of keeping clean sheets as each of their last four wins have been top nil, while Bournemouth struggled to break down Everton in midweek and are facing a far tougher defence this weekend. 

Bristol City look the right side here. They’ve taken three wins from their last four at Ashton Gate and face a Millwall team wobbling on the road, with no wins in three away and back-to-back defeats. Millwall’s defence is creaking too, conceding in five of their last six and shipping 13 goals on their travels. City’s punchier home attack should tell.

Coventry look irresistible on the road and arrive in far better shape than Ipswich. Lampard’s side have won five of their last six away games and are on an 11-wins-from-12 tear overall, scoring freely and controlling matches. Ipswich are competitive but inconsistent, and Coventry’s momentum makes them the smarter bet.

Both teams are expected to score and this has the potential to be a high-scoring game. City have won their last two games 5-4 and 3-2, and they have now conceded at least twice in four successive games. have scored in games against Arsenal (2-2), Liverpool (1-1), Aston Villa (1-1) and Chelsea (won 2-1) this season so both of these teams look capable of contributing and combining for at least four goals.

Wrexham look a live underdog here. They’ve lost just one of their last ten league games and are travelling well, with only seven goals conceded in eight away outings. Preston’s home form is wobbling — five of their last seven at Deepdale have seen them concede — and they’re increasingly vulnerable. With momentum firmly behind Wrexham, this is a spot where they can absolutely nick it. Goals at both ends has been common in Preston games.

Both Inter Milan and Como are within four points of the Serie A summit and each have had a five-goal haul in their last two games. The pair are in scintillating form and an exciting encounter is expected.

Leeds’ morale received a huge boost in midweek with a fantastic win over Chelsea, and they have only lost two of their seven home games this season. They could pile the pressure on Liverpool, who have lost six of their last nine Premier League games. Leeds look good value for the points on Saturday, but they have conceded in 13 of their 15 matches this season and are unlikely to produce a shutout. 

Frankfurt are challenging at the right end of the table but they still find themselves five points behind second-placed Leipzig, who can show their superiority on Saturday. RB have won ten of their last 13 games and can take all three points.

Atletico Madrid may have been beaten 3-1 on Tuesday but that came in an away game against the champions and current La Liga leaders, Barcelona. They enjoyed a seven-match winning streak prior to that defeat and should find things easier against Athletic Bilbao, who were woeful when being hammered 3-0 at home by Real Madrid on Wednesday. While an Atletico Madrid win looks likely, Diego Simeone’s side have uncharacteristically kept only five clean sheets in their last 17 games. 

Sydney FC have scored 12 goals in six A-League games but they are yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels. Central Coast are unbeaten at home and have scored four goals across their three games at this venue, so both of these New South Wales rivals should be able to get on the scoresheet.

Arsenal have scored in 18 successive games and Villa have scored in 14 of their last 15. Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in four of Villa’s last five games and in four of Arsenal’s last six.

Nine of the last 11 Bundesliga meetings between these sides have finished with four or more goals and over 3.5 goals has been a winning bet in three of Bayern Munich’s five away games this season.

28 goals have been scored in Tottenham’s last six matches and over 2.5 goals has landed in all six of these ties, while Brentford have seen three or more goals in three of their last four outings.

All 12 of Barcelona’s league wins this season have also produced over 2.5 goals. Five of the last seven La Liga meetings between these sides have seen both teams find the net, so both of these sides can contribute and combine for at least three goals in total.

Inter Miami have scored 20 goals while winning each of their last five home games. Miami’s last nine games have all featured over 2.5 goals.

Villa have scored in 14 of their last 15 games across all competitions, while Arsenal have gone 18 games without drawing a blank. The Gunners have scored multiple goals in seven of their last eight games and Villa have done the same in five of their last six. With both attacks in form, these teams should be able to combine for at least three goals.

Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in each of Cardiff’s last five games across all competitions and in nine of Huddersfield’s last 10.

Charlton look the call here. Portsmouth’s attack has gone missing — just six away goals all season and five blanks in their last seven league games. Their away form is dire too, with no wins in seven and six defeats in their last eight on the road. Charlton aren’t flashy, but they’re far more reliable than a Pompey side leaking goals and offering little threat.

Watford look the stronger, sharper side and should take advantage of Norwich’s ongoing slump. The Hornets are unbeaten in six at home and far more reliable defensively, while Norwich arrive with just one win in ten and major issues at both ends. Watford’s consistency at Vicarage Road makes them the confident pick.

Take Plymouth to beat Bradford at Home Park on Saturday. Plymouth are a potent attacking force. They have scored an average of two goals a game in their three League One home games against top-half teams this season, while Bradford are on a poor run of results.

This is Sean Dyche’s first visit to Everton since being axed in January and that may give Nottingham Forest a little extra motivation here. The visitors are in fine form with four wins in their last five games, while Everton’s form has dipped at home with two defeats in their last three at the Hill Dickinson. As big price underdogs, Forest look worth the risk.

Leeds’ morale received a huge boost in midweek with a fantastic win over Chelsea, and they have only lost two of their seven home games this season. They could pile the pressure on Liverpool, who have lost six of their last nine Premier League games.

Villa have scored in 14 of their last 15 games across all competitions, while Arsenal have gone 18 games without drawing a blank. The Gunners have scored multiple goals in seven of their last eight games and Villa have done the same in five of their last six. With both attacks in form, these teams should be able to combine for at least three goals.

Bournemouth are in the midst of a rough patch with four defeats and no wins in their last five games.

As big price underdogs, Forest look worth the risk.

Both teams are expected to score and this has the potential to be a high-scoring game. City have won their last two games 5-4 and 3-2, and they have now conceded at least twice in four successive games. . There have been goals at both ends in five of Sunderland’s last six games and they have scored in games against Arsenal (2-2), Liverpool (1-1), Aston Villa (1-1) and Chelsea (won 2-1) this season so both of these teams can contribute and combine for at least four goals.

Newcastle may be sitting a disappointing 12th in the Premier League, but they have won six and drawn one of their last seven at home and should get a victory over a Burnley side whose only away points came against Wolves. However, the Clarets have scored in their last six on the road, while Newcastle are without a clean sheet in five.

28 goals have been scored in Tottenham’s last six matches and over 3.5 goals has landed in five of these ties, while Brentford’s league games average over three goals per-game.

Leeds’ morale received a huge boost in midweek with a fantastic win over Chelsea, and they have only lost two of their seven home games this season. They could pile the pressure on Liverpool, who have lost six of their last nine Premier League games.

Leverkusen are nine places and 13 points above Augsburg and have won four straight head-to-heads. Augsburg have taken just one win from their last six matches and have failed to keep a clean sheet in five home games. Leverkusen’s recent form and past margins support a comfortable away victory.

Forest Green have the division’s best home record with eight wins in 11 games. They should have too much for poor travellers Solihull Moors, who have four defeats in their last six trips across all comps.

Hibs suffered a 2-1 defeat to Celtic last time out but impressed in that loss regardless. With home advantage, the Edinburgh side should have too much for a Falkirk outfit who have lost three of their Premiership trips.

Newcastle may be sitting a disappointing 12th in the Premier League, but they have won six and drawn one of their last seven at home and should get a victory over a Burnley side whose only away points came against Wolves.

Take Southampton to continue their recent winning form at home to Birmingham on Saturday. Tonda Eckert’s side have won their last two games at St. Mary’s Stadium and should be too strong for Chris Davies’ visitors.

St Johnstone are the pacesetters in the Championship and they are yet to be beaten at home in the league, with 18 points from eight games. Saints should be able to see off Raith, who have scored just one goal across their last five away games (D2, L3).

Stenhousemuir sit five points above Hamilton in the table and are in form with three wins in a row. The Accies have lost their last two on the road, and could be in line for another loss at Stenny.

Huesca are struggling in La Liga 2 but their home form isn’t the issue. Huesca have four wins and just one defeat in eight home league games and can claim a crucial win over out-of-sorts Valladolid, who are on a four-game winless run (D2, L2) and have scored just one goal across those fixtures.

Barcelona have been in dominant form going forwards this season and they should be able to extend their wonderful record as they visit Real Betis. The hosts have been solid but Barca have seen all 12 of their league wins also go over 2.5 goals and they may simply blow away their hosts.

A run of draws has dented Toulouse’s European aspirations but the visit of Strasbourg, who have lost their last three away games in Ligue 1, offers an opportunity to pick up a three-point haul.

Bournemouth are in the midst of a rough patch with four defeats and no wins in their last five games. Chelsea lost at Leeds in midweek but have an excellent chance to respond with a victory against an out-of-form side who have struggled against the Premier League’s top six this season, back the Blues to leave with maximum points.

This is Sean Dyche’s first visit to Everton since being axed in January and that may give Nottingham Forest a little extra motivation here. The visitors are in fine form with four wins in their last five games, while Everton’s form has dipped at home with two defeats in their last three at the Hill Dickinson. Forest can at least avoid defeat here.

City shipped four at Fulham and have just one clean sheet in their last nine games, while they have only failed to score themselves in two of their last 19 fixtures. There have been goals at both ends in five of Sunderland’s last six games and they have scored in games against Arsenal (2-2), Liverpool (1-1), Aston Villa (1-1) and Chelsea (won 2-1) this season so both of these teams look capable of getting on the scoresheet.

Newcastle may be sitting a disappointing 12th in the Premier League, but they have won six and drawn one of their last seven at home and should get a victory over a Burnley side whose only away points came against Wolves.

Aldershot have suffered eight consecutive league losses in a row, and they could be in line for more misery when in-form Altrincham arrive at the Recreation Ground on Saturday. Alty are one of the division’s form sides with four wins in their last five games.

Bristol City look the right side here. They’ve taken three wins from their last four at Ashton Gate and face a Millwall team wobbling on the road, with no wins in three away and back-to-back defeats. Millwall’s defence is creaking too, conceding in five of their last six and shipping 13 goals on their travels. City’s punchier home attack should tell.

Barnsley won 1-0 at Peterborough in League One back in August but this FA Cup meeting should offer a bit more entertainment. Posh have scored nine goals across their last four league games, while the Tykes have hit eight across their last three. Both teams have scored in five of Barnsley’s last six on the road across all competitions and they’ve only kept one away shut-out all season.

28 goals have been scored in Tottenham’s last six matches and over 2.5 goals has landed in all six of these ties, while Brentford have seen three or more goals in three of their last four outings.

Bournemouth are in the midst of a rough patch with four defeats and no wins in their last five games. Chelsea lost at Leeds in midweek but have an excellent chance to respond with a victory against an out-of-form side who have struggled against the Premier League’s top six this season, back the Blues to leave with maximum points.

City’s Erling Haaland leads the scoring charts with 15 goals in 14 league games this season, having scored in 10 of those 14 games. The Norwegian can add to his impressive haul for the season with at least one strike against Sunderland.

Pedro Neto came off the bench and scored at Leeds for Chelsea and he should start on Saturday. Neto has five league goals for the season and three of those have come in his last four games, and he can continue his hot streak at Bournemouth.

Morgan Gibbs-White scored in Forest’s win over Liverpool and has four goals in his last eight games across all competitions, he could add to his haul for the season for Forest at Everton.

Harvey Barnes has scored four goals in his last five appearances for Newcastle and has good memories against Burnley, scoring twice and assisting four in his last five meetings with the Clarets while playing for Leicester.

Igor Thiago has impressed for Brentford this season, scoring 12 goals in all competitions. He was only used from the bench in their midweek defeat to Arsenal and has scored nine goals in his last eight starts for the club.

Lukas Nmecha has broken into the Leeds starting lineup over the past month and heads into this tie against Liverpool having found the net in three of his last four starts for the Whites.

Veteran forward Billy Sharp scored two and assisted two in Doncaster’s 5-1 EFL Trophy win over Chesterfield earlier this week. That performance should see him keep his starting spot and he is a clear contender for an anytime goal in this FA Cup meeting.

Pedro Neto came off the bench and scored at Leeds for Chelsea and he should start on Saturday. Neto has five league goals for the season and three of those have come in his last four games, and he can continue his hot streak at Bournemouth.

There have been goals at both ends in five of Sunderland’s last six games and they have scored in games against Arsenal (2-2), Liverpool (1-1), Aston Villa (1-1) and Chelsea (won 2-1) this season so both of these teams look capable of getting on the scoresheet.

Both Inter Milan and Como are within four points of the Serie A summit and each have had a five-goal haul in their last two games. The pair are in scintillating form and an exciting encounter is expected.

Take both teams to get a goal in Saturday’s Ligue 1 clash between Toulouse and Strasbourg at Stadium de Toulouse. The hosts played out a 2-2 draw with Marseille last weekend and there is no reason to expect them to keep a clean sheet against Strasbourg.

Doncaster beat Chesterfield 5-1 in the EFL Trophy earlier this week and another entertaining match-up with goals at both ends could be on the cards in Derbyshire. Chesterfield have scored in 15 consecutive games across all competitions and both teams have scored in seven of their last nine. Donny may not manage another five-goal showing but the League One outfit clearly have enough quality to trouble their fourth tier hosts, and there have been goals at both ends in eight of their last nine games.

PSG’s shock loss at Monaco saw them lose their spot at the Ligue 1 summit and they would have hoped for an easier fixture to try and bounce back in than a visit from Rennes, who are on a four-game winning streak. Both teams to score has been a winning bet in nine of Rennes’ last 12 games and looks the pick again.

Aldershot have suffered eight consecutive league losses in a row, and they could be in line for more misery when in-form Altrincham arrive at the Recreation Ground on Saturday. Alty are one of the division’s form sides with four wins in their last five games.

Sheffield United have racked up three wins in a row to move out of the Championship relegation zone and they can continue their resurgence with a win against Stoke at Bramall Lane.

Against all odds, Lens find themselves at the summit of the Ligue 1 table heading into gameweek 15, and they can consolidate their position against the struggling Nantes on Saturday.

Leeds put in a high-tempo and threatening attacking performance when beating Chelsea 3-1 in midweek, and with the Elland Road crowd up, that looks the exact recipe which has been causing a confidence-drained Liverpool so many issues this term.

Leipzig have won five from five at home, while they’ve won eight of their nine clashes against teams outside the top five. The visitors have scored in 11 of their first 12 Bundesliga matches, so back them to find the net in a defeat.

Vancouver Whitecaps have battled well to reach their first MLS Cup final but they may fall at the last hurdle. The Caps needed extra-time in two of their three playoff games and lack the firepower to keep Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami quiet.

Atalanta should be backed to defeat an out-of-form Verona at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi on Saturday. Verona are without a win in 13 Serie A games and have lost three of their last four at home. They have sustained two successive reverses and four of their last five matches have ended in defeat. 

Atletico Madrid may have been beaten 3-1 on Tuesday but that came in an away game against the champions and current La Liga leaders, Barcelona. They enjoyed a seven-match winning streak prior to that defeat and should find things easier against Athletic Bilbao, who were woeful when being hammered 3-0 at home by Real Madrid on Wednesday.

PSG’s shock loss at Monaco saw them lose their spot at the Ligue 1 summit and they would have hoped for an easier fixture to try and bounce back in than a visit from Rennes, who are on a four-game winning streak. Both teams to score has been a winning bet in nine of Rennes’ last 12 games and looks the pick again.

Doncaster beat Chesterfield 5-1 in the EFL Trophy earlier this week and another entertaining match-up with goals at both ends could be on the cards in Derbyshire. Chesterfield have scored in 15 consecutive games across all competitions and can get on the scoresheet, but Doncaster’s form and extra bit of quality suggests they can grind out a win.

Vancouver Whitecaps have battled well to reach their first MLS Cup final but they may fall at the last hurdle. The Caps needed extra-time in two of their three playoff games and lack the firepower to keep Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami quiet. Vancouver have enough to find the net, given their last blank came in July.

Rangers have won six of the last seven meetings between these two sides and Kilmarnock have the leakiest defence in the league this season, conceding 27 times. Both teams have scored in five of the last seven meetings between these two and Rangers have hardly been impenetrable at the back, however.

Donny thrashed their hosts in a reverse fixture a few days ago but Chesterfield tend to be far tougher at home. The Spireites have only lost one home game in League Two and they can keep this tight but Doncaster’s form and extra quality suggests they can grind out a win, take a chance on a 2-1 victory for the visitors.

While an Atletico Madrid win looks likely, Diego Simeone’s side have uncharacteristically kept only five clean sheets in their last 17 games. The return of Oihan Sancet massively boosts Athletic Bilbao’s firepower and they should have enough to net a consolation in a tight clash.

Atletico Madrid may have been beaten 3-1 on Tuesday but that came in an away game against the champions and current La Liga leaders, Barcelona. They enjoyed a seven-match winning streak prior to that defeat and should find things easier against Athletic Bilbao, who were woeful when being hammered 3-0 at home by Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Tottenham visit St James’ Park off the back of a three-game losing streak, and the in-form Harvey Barnes could send Thomas Frank’s side to another disappointing result on Tuesday.The 27-year-old Newcastle attacker has scored seven times for the Magpies this season, including four goals in his last four, and he has more non-penalty expected goals than any other Newcastle player this season.

Athletic Bilbao have put together a good run of form at the San Mames this season, but Real Madrid are their toughest La Liga challenge yet and Kylian Mbappe is backed to put the Basque defence to the sword.Only Erling Haaland and Harry Kane have scored as many league goals as the France captain in Europe’s top five leagues this season, and his strike at Girona on Sunday followed a four-goal haul against Olympiacos last week.

Bryan Mbeumo has failed to score in his last two outings for Manchester United, but he can return to the scoresheet against a West Ham side with the joint-second-worst defensive record in the Premier League.The Cameroon international scored in Brentford’s home meeting with the Hammers last season to make it four goals in seven meetings with them, and he has seven goals for club and country this term.

A brace in a man-of-the-match performance against Osasuna on Saturday saw Vedat Muriqi surpass last season’s La Liga goals tally after just 13 appearances, and he can build on this performance at rock-bottom Real Oviedo on Friday.Four of Muriqi’s eight goals this season have come away from home, and the veteran centre forward can add to Oviedo’s woes.

Despite sitting a respectable tenth in the table, only three teams have conceded more Eredivisie goals than Heerenveen this season and their back line is set to come under siege from the best attack in the division.Table-toppers PSV have scored a league-high 44 goals in 14 games, and Guus Til has recorded almost a quarter of these strikes. His goal against Volendam at the weekend was his sixth in four games, and the 27-year-old has scored four goals in his last four meetings with Heerenveen.

Paris FC are putting in a good stint in their first season in Ligue 1 in almost half a century, and attacker Ilan Kebbal could help them to another positive result at Le Havre on Sunday.Following his sixth goal of the season against Auxerre last time out, only three players have scored more Ligue 1 goals than Kebbal this season, and he can continue his good form against a home side that have shipped four goals in their last two games.

Both teams have scored in each if Auckland’s last four games, while there have been goals at both ends in five of Wellington’s last six and they have gone seven games without a clean sheet.

Newcastle’s A-League games are averaging over four goals per-game and at least three in total looks likely when they face Melbourne City. The visitors’ games have been generally low scoring, but the Jets have conceded at least two goals in all their home games so far this season so these sides should be able to combine for over 2.5 goals.

Sydney FC have scored 12 goals in six A-League games but they are yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels. Central Coast are unbeaten at home and have scored four goals across their three games at this venue, so both of these New South Wales rivals should be able to get on the scoresheet.
