19:30: Augsburg v Cologne – Augsburg to Win
BT Sport 2
Cologne are sitting in the bottom half of the table, while Augsburg are almost safe after a solid season. Another three points on Friday night would be enough to put them clear of danger.
Cologne had lost seven of their last nine games prior to their shock midweek win over RB Leipzig. The last time these sides met it was a 1-0 win to Augsburg so I am sure they will be confident of getting another victory.
20:00: Arsenal v Everton – Everton to Win
Sky Sports Main Event/Sky Sports Premier League
Arsenal haven’t been enjoying many home comforts of late and the Gunners could face another frustrating evening at the Emirates when away day specialists Everton land in the capital. Mikel Arteta’s side needed an injury-time equaliser from Eddie Nketiah to claim a late share of the spoils at home to relegation favourites Fulham last week.
Everton, meanwhile, have failed to win in their last six games, drawing three and losing three. The Merseysiders have just lost one in their last 11 played away from home and even though they haven’t won at the Emirates since 1996, the Toffees will feel they have a massive opportunity to reverse that poor record on Friday evening.
The Gunners are missing their two key men up front in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette so could be short of firepower. The last time these sides met back in December, Everton won 2-1 and we could see a repeat result here. For added value, it may be worth backing the correct result of 1-2 as well.
20:00: Reims v Marseille – Marseille or Draw
BT Sport 3
Reims currently lie 11th in the table while Marseille are making a late push for a Europa League place. The hosts are unbeaten in their last nine games, winning two and drawing on the other seven occasions. Marseille have won three of their last five.
When these sides met in December last year it was a 1-1 draw and I expect another tight encounter. With Marseille pushing for a European spot they’ll want to come out on top, but we could easily see this one finish level too. Covering both bases could be the way to go here.
20:00: Real Zaragoza v Sporting Gijon – Real Zaragoza to Win
La Liga TV
Real Zaragoza have won seven of their last nine home games, while Sporting Gijon have lost their last three. Gijon look quite vulnerable in this fixture as Zaragoza have kept a clean sheet in 59 per cent of their home games so backing a home win makes sense.
Gijon did manage to win 1-0 the last time these sides met but I think Zaragoza will have too much for them on this occasion. I fancy a 1-0 win – a scoreline in which Zaragoza have landed in six of their last eight home matches.
