Besiktas v Konyaspor: Over 2.5 Goals
Friday 19:00
With just five games to go after this, Besiktas really need to go for the three points on offer here as they chase down the final European places in the Super Lig. Konyaspor are fighting for their survival though, and have made things very tough on previous visits to the Vodafone Park – winning two of the last five meetings.
Over those previous five meetings, Over 2.5 goals has occurred in four of the previous five meetings, while BTTS landed in the same number as well. The home side have lost just three times at home in the league this season, while the away side have won just three on their travels.
The five previous home matches have seen Overs as well and with both teams desperate for the points here we think we’re looking at goals galore here.
Brentford v West Brom: Both Teams to Score
Friday 19:45
As the current Championship leaders, you’d expect West Brom’s odds of winning to be a bit lower, as they’ve won 11 on the road in the league this season, drawing six and losing just two. Brentford’s home record is the main factor here though and they’ve lost just three Championship matches at Griffin Park, winning 10 and drawing five.
The home side are fourth on 63 points and a win would see them overtake Fulham in third, while for the Baggies the three points would put some distance between themselves and Leeds who take on Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
Brentford are averaging 2.0 goals per home league game and conceding 0.83. West Brom are scoring 1.47 on the road and conceding 0.74. With those scoring records we’d be daft not to back Both Teams to Score here.
Juventus v Lecce: Juventus to Win to Nil
Friday 20:45
It’s going to be a long night for Lecce here, as they’ve beaten Juventus just once in 15 meetings in Turin over their history. They are fighting for their Serie A survival though, but you’d be tempted to think they might just let this one slide and concentrate on beating fellow strugglers Sampdoria next Wednesday.
Juventus have won 12 and drawn one of their 13 home Serie A matches this season, scoring 31 and conceding just 10.
Lecce have won four, drawn two and lost seven, scoring 15 and conceding 30 goals in their 15 away games. We’re looking at Juventus to Win to Nil here, a bet that would have landed in three of the previous four home Juventus Serie A matches.
Sevilla v Valladolid: Sevilla to Win 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0
Friday 21:00
It’s been a mixed bag for both teams since the return to action; Sevilla have taken just six points from a possible 12 (one win, three draws), while Valladolid have taken five (one win, two draws and a loss).
Sevilla have only lost twice at home all season though, winning seven and drawing six, while Valladolid have won four, drawn four and lost eight.
Valladolid’s away scoring record of just 0.69 is awful and matched with Sevilla’s record of conceding just 0.87 per game and it’s hard to see them scoring here. Sevilla should win this so we’re backing a Correct Score Combination of Sevilla to Win 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0.
