7.45pm: Bologna v AC Milan – AC Milan to Win
TV: BT Sport 1
AC Milan have been nothing short of sensational in Serie A this season, dropping just two points across their eight games so far. Despite this epic run, it’s still not enough to have them top of the table and they trail the perfect Napoli by two points.
Bologna are next up on Saturday night and they have a good record on home soil this season, winning three and drawing once. That record is making AC Milan’s price for us here.
Three of the teams Bologna have faced at Renato Dall’Ara Stadium are 14th, 19th and 20th, while their 3-0 win over 5th-placed Lazio stands out. But at the price on offer we have to be on the AC Milan Win given their excellent form on the road and in general.
8pm: Lille v Brest – Lille to Win and Over 2.5 Goals
TV: BT Sport 3
Defending French champions Lille had been on a nice run of three consecutive wins before a disappointing defeat at Clermont last time out. They’re down in 11th and it’s fair to say lightening probably won’t strike twice as they trail PSG by 13 points already.
Next up for them is 19th-placed Stade Brest who are yet to record a victory this term. Lille should win here and they’re big favs with Paddy but, despite their lowly league position, the away side always score, netting at least once in all 10 Ligue 1 games this term.
If Lille are to win then they’re going to need to sore twice, providing us with Over 2.5 Goals in the game. They’re a bit goal-shy and have only scored two more than Brest, but with home advantage and the superior squad, it should pay to side with Lille to Win and Over 2.5 Goals.
8.30pm: Sporting v Moreirense – Sporting Win & Over 2.5 Goals
Sporting have really kicked into gear of late, scoring four in each of their last two games. They take on Moreirense on Saturday evening, who have only won once this season, and are huge favourites.
The Lisbon side are 3rd in the Primeira Liga while Moreirense are down in 14th. By all accounts the home team should be winning here and, with Over 2.5 Goals landing in all three of their last games and three of Moreirense’s last four, it’s worth backing Sporting to Win and Over 2.5 Goals.
8.30pm: Seattle Sounders v Sporting Kansas City – Over 3.5 Goals
TV: Sky Sports Football
Off to MLS for our final selection and it’s Sporting Kansas City heading to Seattle Sounders with just a handful of regular season games left to play. These two are going really well with Sounders top of the Western Conference and KC in second, four points behind with a game in hand.
Sounders had been in good form, winning four on the bounce, but they’ve lost and drawn their last two. Kansas are boom or bust and they’ve won two and lost before repeating that sequence again in their last six games.
The interesting angle here is in the Overs market and Over 2.5 Goals feels like a banker. However, for a bit more value I’m siding with Over 3.5 Goals. This bet has landed in three of KC’s last five and two of Seattle’s games over the same timeframe. Both score loads of goals and we could be in for a barn burner here.
