2.30pm: Bayer Leverkusen v Bayern Munich: Over 3.5 Goals
TV: Sky Sports Football
Both teams are coming into this in great form. The home side have won all five of their most recent games while Bayern Munich have won four of their last five. At home, Bayer Leverkusen have won three of their four games this season, losing the other one. Bayern have won all five of their away games so far this campaign.
Five of the last six meetings at the BayArena have seen the away side winning, Bayer won the other one. Five of those meetings saw Both Teams to Score and Over 3.5 goals occurring, the other one saw BTTS and Over 2.5 goals. Bayer have scored at least two goals in three of their four home games so far, Bayern have scored at least three in all five of their away games. We have to go with Over 3.5 Goals again here.
6pm: New York Red Bulls v New York City: Both Teams to Score
TV: Sky Sports Football
MLS is entering its final stages with just five games to go following this one. The home side are in the playoff places, New York City are three places below them but a win would put them back in it. The Red Bulls are in the better form though, they’ve won three and drawn two of their last five, New York City have only won one of their last five, drawing two and losing two.
At home the Red Bulls have been disappointing, winning just one of their last five, drawing three and losing one. City have won one, drawn one and lost three. They’ve scored in four of those five games though and the Red Bulls have only kept one clean sheet over their last five. Were the home side in better home form we’d back them but they’ve not been ruthless enough of late. Both Teams to Score is the best bet here.
7.45pm: Marseille v Lorient: BTTS & Over 2.5 Goals
TV: BT Sport 2
Marseille have so far won four, drawn two and lost two over their eight league games. Lorient have won three, drawn five and lost one. Marseille have been better in front of goal though, scoring 14 to Lorient’s 10, Marseille have conceded 10, Lorient have let in nine. Marseille’s home form is better than Lorient’s away form too, they’ve won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five on home turf, Lorient have drawn four and lost one.
They’re a tough side to beat but Marseille have won this match in three out of the last five meetings at the Velodrome, one ended level and Lorient won one. Both teams are scoring and conceding plenty so we should see goals. BTTS No Draw looked tempting at first but Lorient are drawing far too many games for that to be showing value, so we’ll cover ourselves a bit should this end 2-1, 1-2, 2-2 or above, the best value here then is Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 Goals.
7.45pm: Juventus vs Roma: BTTS No Draw
TV: BT Sport 1
After what was a tough start to the season, Juventus have now gone six games unbeaten, winning five and drawing one. Jose Mourinho’s Roma have been in good form right from the start, losing just two of their 11 games since the Special One took the reins. Roma have a terrible record away to Juve though, of their last 10 visits there in all competitions they’ve only won once, Juventus won all of the other nine games and Roma even failed to score in six of them.
Roma are unlikely not to score here though, they’ve scored in all of their games under Mourinho so far and Juventus have conceded in all but one of their last 10 competitive games at home. We’re likely to see a winner, though. Roma have drawn none of their Serie A games so far, Juventus have drawn two, only one of which was at home. With Juventus’ impressive record at home they could well take the three points here but a Mourinho-managed side has only lost twice to Juventus over seven games and only one ended level. The best price here then is Both TeamsTo Score No Draw.
8pm: Barcelona vs Valencia: BTTS and Over 2.5 Goals
TV: LaLigaTV
Of course much has been made of Barcelona’s disastrous start to their La Liga season but looking at just their home record they’ve only lost one of their last five, drawing one and winning three. Valencia’s form isn’t great, they’ve only won one of their last five in the league, drawing two and losing two. Their away form is nothing to shout about too, of their four away games this season they’ve won just one, drawing two and losing one.
In previous encounters at the Nou Camp there have been loads of goals, all five of their most recent meetings saw BTTS and Over 2.5 goals occurring. Goals should be on the cards here too, Overs has occurred in four of Barcelona’s five home games this season and in two of Valencia’s four away games. They’ve scored in all but one of their away games too and have scored at least one in seven of their last eight visits to Barcelona. Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 Goals is the best shout here.
