7.30pm: RB Leipzig vs Koln: BTTS & Over 2.5 Goals
TV: Sky Sports App
RB Leipzig’s Bundesliga season hasn’t exactly been going to plan. However, they’ve been in strong form of late, winning four of their last five in all competitions, losing the other one. Koln have won two of their last five, drawing two (losing one on penalties) and losing one. Goals are usually to be expected when Leipzig are playing at home, they’ve netted 12 over their last five at home in all competitions and are averaging 2.82 goals per home league game this season.
Koln’s away results are pretty good with two wins and three draws over their last five, with Both Teams to Score landing in all five and Over 2.5 goals occurring three. With both teams in good scoring form, then, Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 Goals has the best value.
7.45pm: Chelsea Women vs Arsenal Women – Chelsea Win
TV: Sky Sports Football, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Showcase
Defending champions Chelsea can wrestle top spot in the Women’s Super League from league leaders Arsenal with a home win here. The Blues are in the superior form having won four and drawn one of their last five in all competitions.

Arsenal have won two of their last five fixtures, drawing two and losing one while their away form is a wee bit worse; winning just one, drawing two and losing two. The home side are unbeaten over their 12 games (winning 10 and drawing two) in front of their own fans and have beaten the Gunners over their last five visits across London. We’re backing the home side to summit the league table here with a Chelsea Win.
8pm: Paris St-Germain vs Rennes: PSG to Win to Nil
TV: BT Sport 2
PSG’s superstars don’t always click on the field but they absolutely destroyed defending champions Lille last Sunday in a 1-5 away win and manager Mauricio Pochettino will be eager to keep the ball rolling here against a Rennes side who have won just one of their last five away fixtures. The visitors have won two of their last five overall matches, losing the other three while their away games have seen them winning just one of their last five, drawing one, losing it on penalties and losing three.
Over their last six league visits to Parc des Princes the visitors have only scored in two of those games and the Parisians have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five home Ligue 1 clashes. PSG to Win to Nil has a great value price.
8pm: Sevilla vs Elche – Both Teams To Score
TV: LaLigaTV and FreeSports
Sevilla’s three league draws in a row have seen them slipping six points behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid and only the most optimistic of their supporters can see them cutting the gap between now and the end of the season. Los Nervionenses have drawn three of their last five in all competitions, winning one and drawing one while their home La Liga form has seen them winning three and drawing two, scoring seven and conceding four.
Elche’s league form of late has been good with three wins and two draws, however their form on their league outings is quite contrasting with just one win, two draws and two losses, scoring eight and conceding nine. They have been scoring though, getting eight over their last five away games and Sevilla’s defence hasn’t been their usual steadfast selves of late, with Both Teams To Score landing in three of their last five home league games and in three of their last five overall games. Getting Both Teams To Score at this price then, when both are scoring and conceding plenty of late, is too good to refuse.
8.15pm: Porto vs Sporting – Halftime Draw
TV: BT Sport 3
Should Porto take the three points here they’ll have a nine point gap between themselves and Sporting in second place. In other words, Sporting will do everything they can to insure they don’t lose, which is easier said than done against a Porto side who have won all 11 of their most recent fixtures in all competitions. Their home league form has seen them going 25 games without defeat, and of their 16 most previous games have won every single one of them.
Sporting have only lost twice over their league campaign so are obviously in great shape too. The Lions have won four of their last five in all competitions, losing the other while their away league form has seen them sharing the same record. The hosts have won three of the last five meetings between the sides at the Estadio Do Dragao in all competitions, with two ending level (with the away side winning one on penalties). Only two of those last five finished with Over 2.5 goals and three of them were 0-0 at halftime. This one has tense written all over it and we see this one going into the halftime break level.
