8pm: Wolves vs Leeds – Wolves to Win
TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League
Neither team come into this Premier League encounter in the best of shape, Wolves have won two of their last five league games while Leeds have only come away victorious in one of their last five fixtures. The host’s home league form reads as three wins and two losses where they’ve scored nine and conceded five. Leeds’ away form is pretty bad with one win, one draw and three losses where they’ve scored six and conceded a whopping 15.
Wolves have a strong home record against their opponents as well, winning three of their last five fixtures at Molineux, drawing one and Leeds winning the other. The Whites have scored in just one of their last five Premier League games and that coupled with the host’s home form means we can only see Wolves taking the three points here.
8pm: St Etienne vs Troyes – St Etienne Win & BTTS
TV: BT Sport Extra 1
St Etienne in the relegation playoff place, 18th, can leap above Troyes in 15th if they can take the points on offer in this Ligue 1 clash. Their form has been decent for a team so low down the table with two wins, two draws and one loss over their last five league encounters. On home turf it’s not quite as good but still not too bad with two wins, one draw and two losses, scoring seven and conceding six.
Troyes’ overall form isn’t bad too with two wins, one draw and two losses and away from home they’ve won two and lost three, scoring six and conceding 11. Both teams then are in decent goal-scoring form and both quite obviously need the win. The home side are favourites based on those stats and we think they should take the three points largely thanks to the away side having a rather leaky defence. However, the visitors have scored in seven of their last eight league encounters so we’re getting some mighty value here in backing St Etienne to Win & Both Teams to Score.

8pm: Genoa vs Torino – The Draw
TV: BT Sport Extra 3
Genoa’s Serie A days look numbered, the home side are four points from safety and they’ve not won any of their last 13 fixtures in all competitions. Of their five most previous Serie A games they’ve drawn all five of them, scoring just two goals. At the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris they’ve drawn four of their last five, losing the other, scoring just one and conceding two with three of those matches finishing 0-0.
Torino have only captured four points from a possible 21 over their last seven Serie A clashes. Of their five most recent Serie A fixtures they’ve drawn three and lost two while their away form has seen Turin’s third best team, after Juventus and Juventus reserves, winning one, drawing two and losing two. The market is backing Torino here but as bad as the host’s results are the fact is they’ve shown plenty of times this season that they’re incredibly tough to break down on their hallowed soil. With so many draws over their combined recent fixtures we have to go with the value here and back yet another home draw for Il Grifone.
8pm: Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe – Athletic Bilbao to Win
TV: LaLigaTV and FreeSports
With 10 games to go in the season Bilbao will be looking to finish the season strongly and get into the European places. They’ll have to be in top form though as they’re currently seven points adrift. Getafe are four points above the relegation zone and their form would suggest they might fall into it very soon unless they can raise their game and get some badly-needed wins.
Bilbao are odds-on favourites here and their home La Liga form is very good with four wins and one loss, scoring 13 and conceding six. The visitor’s La Liga form has seen them going five games without a win now and on their league travels have drawn two and lost three. Bilbao have the form here and should make light work of a side low on confidence and goals. Bilbao to Win has the value in this one.
