class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both sides in scintillating scoring form there should be plenty of interest in backing the goals to flow when they meet on Wednesday night

Liverpool welcome Atletico Madrid to Anfield on Wednesday on matchday four of the Champions League with Jurgen Klopp’s side looking for another win against the Liga champions.

Two weeks ago, these sides played out a thrilling match in the Spanish capital which ended in a 3-2 victory for the six-time European champions and another exciting encounter could be on the cards on Merseyside.

The hosts are clear favourites to claim three more points and cement their place at the top of Group E, with bet365 offering Liverpool at 3/5 (1.60).

Atletico, meanwhile, are available at 9/2 (5.50) to record their second away win of the competition while the draw can be backed at 3/1 (4.00).

Mohamed Salah broke the deadlock after just eight minutes when these sides met in Madrid and the Egyptian can be backed at 3/1 (4.00) to do so once more on Wednesday evening.

Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane can all be backed at 11/2 (6.50) while Luis Suarez is offered at 7/1 (8.00) to score first on his return to Anfield.

Antoine Griezmann is suspended following his red card two weeks ago which should guarantee a starting berth for Joao Felix and the young Portuguese forward is priced at 11/1 (12.00).

Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid preview

Expectations are high that these two teams can serve up another entertaining encounter and their respective scoring records are encouraging.

Liverpool have netted in every competitive game they have played over the last 10 months, while Atletico have scored at least twice in each of their last six matches.

Neither side have been as defensively solid as their managers would have liked, with Liverpool keeping just two clean sheets in six home games this term in all competitions, and Atletico conceding in every away game they have contested.

Those statistics mean another open match looks on the cards with goals at both ends looking likely.

Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid tips & predictions

Both teams to score seems a solid selection at 3/4 (1.75) while over 2.5 goals is priced at 8/11 (1.73).

Combining these two options sees the odds rise to a healthy looking 11/10 (2.10).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>In strong form at St Mary's, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Saints to extend their dominant record against Smith's men with a win on Friday

Aston Villa will be desperate for victory when they travel to St Mary’s to take on Southampton in Friday’s Premier League clash.

Dean Smith has seen his job come under some scrutiny after a run of four consecutive league defeats, his worst spell since early 2020.

Southampton vs Aston Villa latest odds

However, Aston Villa can be backed at 13/5 (3.60) with bet365 to ease the pressure with a much-needed three points on the south coast.

Southampton have taken seven points from the last available nine and are 21/20 (2.05) favourites to compound the visitors’ misery by coming out on top once again.

Just one of the last eight encounters between this duo has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Southampton vs Aston Villa first goalscorer

Che Adams is the hosts’ 11/2 (6.50) favourite to open the scoring after hitting the net in each of the last two games, while Armando Broja can be backed at 7/1 (8.0) following goals in his last two appearances.

With Danny Ings unavailable to face his former club due to injury, Ollie Watkins is the away side’s best first goalscorer option at 15/2 (8.50) after getting on target in two of the last four league fixtures and Leon Bailey is a 10/1 (11.0) outside bet.

Southampton vs Aston Villa preview

Although they go into this clash just a single point behind their opponents in the league, the Villans have struggled to hold their own in recent encounters – winning just once in 10 and losing six of the most recent eight.

It is hard to see them improving on that record on current form, having lost four consecutive matches and taken just three points from the last available 15 on the road.

Southampton vs Aston Villa tips & predictions

With Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men in confident spirits and having lost just twice in 10 league games in their own backyard, those 21/20 (2.05) odds seem solid on Southampton getting the better of a struggling Villa team yet again.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>We had to southern Spain, Germany, England, as well as Italy, in search of more goals across Europe in this week's both teams to score accumulator

Goal has put together a four-fold accumulator on both teams to score across the European leagues this weekend.

Real Betis vs Sevilla – Both teams to score at 4/5 (1.80) with bet365 

The Seville derby is one of the fiercest rivalries in Europe, yet despite the enormous pressure on both sides this fixture generally provides terrific entertainment.

Played at breakneck speed in front of a packed house this game is often wild, open and keenly contested.

Both teams to score has paid out in six of the last nine derbies and looks an obvious selection. 

Juventus vs Fiorentina – Both teams to score 3/4 (1.75) with bet365

Fiorentina’s strong start to the season has tailed off a little in recent weeks but the Viola remain an exciting attacking outfit.

Juventus have been wildly unpredictable this season and have lost each of their last two matches but have found the back of the net in their last 13 competitive fixtures and should be able to do so once more on Saturday. 

Leeds United vs Leicester City – Both teams to score at 4/7 (1.57) with bet365

Leicester’s only clean sheet since August came in a Carabao Cup game at Millwall six weeks ago and the Foxes have been conceding with alarming regularity.

Fortunately for them, however, they are proving pretty handy in the final third, scoring in 14 of their 17 fixtures this season.

Leeds, for their part, can generally be relied upon to score in front of their own fans, while both teams to score has paid out in seven of the last 11 games at Elland Road.

Bayern Munich vs Freiburg – Both teams to score at 7/10 (1.70) with be365

Freiburg are the surprise package of the Bundesliga this season and have scored in 10 of their 12 competitive fixtures.

Christian Streich’s side are unbeaten this term and have beaten both Champions League sides they have faced so far, overcoming Borussia Dortmund 2-1 and Wolfsburg 2-0.

Beating the champions looks unlikely but the visitors will certainly feel they can score at the Allianz Arena this weekend.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Solskjaer's men still looking fragile in defence, Al Hain-Cole expects the visitors to silence Old Trafford yet again in a high-scoring victory

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be hoping to continue his rehabilitation as Manchester United manager in Saturday’s Premier League derby against Manchester City.

Reportedly given three matches to save his job following the humiliating 5-0 home defeat against Liverpool, the Norwegian coach has followed up a comfortable 3-0 win over Tottenham with a useful 2-2 draw away to Atalanta.

Manchester United vs Manchester City latest odds

However, Man Utd are 15/4 (4.75) outsiders with bet365 to really disprove the doubters by coming out on top against their rivals at Old Trafford.

Man City fell to a shock 2-0 home defeat against Crystal Palace last weekend but are 7/10 (1.70) favourites to bounce straight back with a victory on enemy territory.

Just one of the last 11 encounters between this duo has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 3/1 (4.0) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Manchester United vs Manchester City first goalscorer

Cristiano Ronaldo is the 11/2 (6.50) favourite to open the scoring after grabbing four goals in his last four appearances, with Edinson Cavani a longer 8/1 (9.0) shot despite joining him on the scoresheet against Spurs.

Gabriel Jesus, Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden are all joint 13/2 (7.50) City favourites to break the deadlock, with the latter perhaps the best value at that price after five goals in his last nine league matches.

Manchester United vs Manchester City preview

Ater looking solid in a new formation against an admittedly lacklustre Tottenham side, the Red Devils were back to their fragile selves in the 2-2 draw in Bergamo.

Having now conceded 13 goals in their last five fixtures, it is very difficult to see them putting in the kind of robust derby displays that have frustrated Pep Guardiola’s men and earned some impressive results in recent years.

Manchester United vs Manchester City tips & predictions

Instead, the visitors look more likely to follow in Liverpool’s footsteps by cruelly exposing United’s weaknesses in midfield and defence at Old Trafford, with odds of 11/8 (2.38) offering tempting value on Man City taking all three points in a match featuring over 2.5 goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With neither side in strong scoring form there should be plenty of interest in opposing an early goal when the sides meet this weekend in Galicia

Barcelona travel to the Estadio Balaidos on Saturday afternoon to face Celta Vigo with the Blaugrana desperate to improve their form in La Liga.

Barca have won just two of their last eight league matches and away from home they are yet to register a win, recording two draws and two defeats.

Celta, meanwhile, are also in poor form having lost five of their six home matches this term but the Galicians often make life tough for the Catalans when they welcome them to Vigo.

Celta Vigo vs Barcelona latest odds

Barcelona have won just one of their last five away games against Celta in all competitions but remain favourites at 11/10 (2.10) with bet365.

Celta, meanwhile, can be backed at 23/10 (3.30) to claim what would be their fourth home league win against Barca since 2015.

The draw is on offer at 13/5 (3.60). 

Celta Vigo vs Barcelona first goalscorer

Ansu Fati scored the only goal of the game on Tuesday night as Barca racked up a vital 1-0 Champions League win at Dynamo Kyiv and the teenager can be backed at 6/1 (7.00) to open the scoring once more this weekend.

Memphis Depay leads the market at 9/2 (5.50) while Celta’s main goal threat will be Iago Aspas who is priced at 6/1 (7.00) and the talismanic forward has an excellent record against Barca, scoring seven times in games versus the Blaugrana. 

Celta Vigo vs Barcelona preview

Last term these were two of La Liga’s most prolific sides but this season the goals have dried up for both teams.

Barca’s lack of incisiveness in the final third can of course be in large part attributed to the departures of both Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann but in Celta’s case the squad is almost exactly the same as the one which finished the previous campaign in such strong fashion.

Eduardo Coudet’s side have failed to score in four of their last five matches and the absence of top scorer Santi Mina on Saturday could be keenly felt.

Barca, for their part, have badly struggled in the final third, netting just two goals in the four matches on the road this season and opposing a high-scoring encounter looks like an obvious selection.

Celta Vigo vs Barcelona tips & predictions

Under 2.5 goals is priced at 11/10 (2.10) but opposing an early goal could be a better angle.

No goal before 27 minutes is offered at 5/6 (1.83) and seems like a terrific option.

Only two of Celta’s 12 matches this season have seen goals before 27 minutes, while Barca have scored before this mark only once in their last eight games.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Two of La Liga's most prolific sides meet in a local derby in the Spanish capital this weekend and there should be interest in opposing a clean sheet

Real Madrid welcome Rayo Vallecano to the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday night as Carlo Ancelotti’s men look for the win which would send them to the top of the Liga table.

Los Blancos have been unconvincing in front of their own fans in recent weeks with the side recording consecutive 0-0 draws at home in the league for the first time since 1996.

Rayo, meanwhile, have been in sensational form and a win against their more illustrious neighbours would move them to within a point of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano latest odds

The Bernabeu outfit are unbeaten at home in the league since January and bet365 price Real Madrid at 1/3 (1.33) to record another win this weekend.

Rayo have picked up 16 of their 20 points at home, with their solitary win on the road coming in Bilbao at the end of September.

Andoni Iraola’s Rayo can be backed at 7/1 (8.00) to record their first win away to Real Madrid in 25 years, with the draw offered at 9/2 (5.50).

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano first goalscorer

Karim Benzema has been in sensational scoring form this season and La Liga’s most prolific marksman can be backed at 13/5 (3.60) to open the scoring this weekend as he did in the midweek win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

Vinicius Junior is Madrid’s second-top scorer this term and in the form of his life, with the young Brazilian priced at 5/1 (6.00) ahead of Marco Asensio and Eden Hazard who are both offered at 7/1 (8.00).

Radamel Falcao has proved to be an extraordinary signing for Rayo with the veteran Colombian already netting four times and offered at 17/2 (9.50) to score first at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano preview

Rayo head to the Bernabeu full of confidence, a newly-promoted side playing well, creating chances, and scoring goals.

The addition of Falcao has proved a masterstroke, although other players such as winger Alvaro Garcia and attacking midfielder Oscar Trejo are playing superbly.

Only three sides in La Liga have scored more goals than Rayo and they are a team whose incisive attacking can cause Madrid problems.

Los Blancos have kept just two clean sheets in their last seven games, with the likes of Sheriff Tiraspol, Shakhtar Donetsk, Mallorca and Celta Vigo all scoring on their visits to the Bernabeu this season. 

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano tips & predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 4/5 (1.80) and looks like an unmissable selection for the game.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams in prolific form, Al Hain-Cole expects another high-scoring encounter between Moyes' team and the Reds at the London Stadium

West Ham have the chance to leapfrog Liverpool in the Premier League table when the sides meet at the London Stadium on Sunday.

The Hammers have enjoyed an excellent start to the new campaign and are just two points adrift of their opponents in fourth position.

West Ham vs Liverpool latest odds

Having lost just one of their last 10 matches in all competitions, West Ham are available at 15/4 (4.75) with bet365 to continue their push up the table by pulling off a big win here.

However, Jurgen Klopp’s men have won eight and lost none of their last 10 meetings with this opposition and Liverpool are 4/6 (1.67) favourites to claim all three points yet again.

The hosts knocked Manchester City out of the Carabao Cup on penalties in their last home game, and you can get odds of 3/1 (4.0) on them holding another heavyweight opponent to a stalemate in this one.

West Ham vs Liverpool first goalscorer

Mohamed Salah is the obvious 3/1 (4.0) first goalscorer bet after scoring nine times in eight previous games against this opposition, with Sadio Mane priced at 11/2 (6.50) to extend his streak of five goals in seven matches with the opener.

Michail Antonio offers strong value at 7/1 (8.0) to break the deadlock against a team he has scored past five times in nine previous encounters, while Said Benrahma is available at 11/1 (12.00) following his two goals against Genk in midweek.

West Ham vs Liverpool preview

With so many in-form attacking players on display, another high-scoring game looks likely between two teams that have provided plenty of entertainment in recent meetings – seeing 38 goals scored in their last 10.

Having scored 19 times in their five league away games this season, the Reds will certainly back themselves to cause trouble for a defence that has conceded twice in three of their last four league matches on home soil.

However, after conceding two or more in three of their last five league games themselves, the visitors may also struggle to contain a West Ham team that has failed to score just once in 14 league fixtures.

West Ham vs Liverpool tips & predictions

All in all, odds of 6/5 (2.20) seem generous on over 3.5 goals being scored for the eighth meeting in 11 between David Moyes’ men and Liverpool.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With plenty at stake for the visitors there should be serious interest in backing them to get among the goals when they visit the Irish capital

Republic of Ireland welcome Portugal to the Aviva Stadium on Thursday evening for their penultimate game in UEFA World Cup qualifying Group A.

It has been a disappointing campaign for Stephen Kenny’s men, who currently find themselves behind Luxembourg in the group and, with no hope of making the World Cup, the side will merely be out to try and restore some pride.

Portugal, meanwhile, have plenty on the line with Fernando Santos’ side desperate for a win to try and secure an automatic place at next year’s tournament.

Republic of Ireland vs Portugal latest odds

Portugal needed two goals in the last two minutes from Cristiano Ronaldo to salvage a 2-1 when they faced the Irish back in September and another success for the Euro 2016 champions is priced at 1/3 (1.33) with bet365.

Ireland, for their part, can be backed at 9/1 (10.00) with the draw at 15/4 (4.75).

Republic of Ireland vs Portugal first goalscorer

Ronaldo is understandably the clear favourite break the deadlock, with the most prolific player in the history of men’s international football offered at 5/2 (3.50) to score first.

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota comes next in the betting at 9/2 (5.50), while Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix is available at 11/2 (6.50).

James Collins is the shortest priced Irish player to score first at 12/1 (13.00).

Republic of Ireland vs Portugal preview

Portugal have enjoyed an almost perfect record in World Cup qualifying over the last five years, winning 14 of their 15 matches.

Their only slip-up came in a 2-2 draw in Serbia in March, a result which is currently costing them top spot in Group A.

Nevertheless, it is still in Portugal’s hands to win the group which they will do if they beat Ireland and Serbia in their last two matches.

There is plenty of motivation therefore for Ronaldo and co and, against an out-of-sorts Ireland team who have nothing to play for, there should be plenty of interest in backing the visitors to get among the goals.

Republic of Ireland vs Portugal tips & predictions

Portugal are offered at 6/4 (2.50) to score over 2.5 goals something they have done in three of their last four matches, while in the last year Ireland have conceded three goals against the likes of both Serbia and England.

Greece vs Spain: Predictions, odds & betting tips

December 29, 2021 | News | No Comments

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Euro 2004 winners have been scoring regularly and there is value in backing goals at both ends when they host La Roja this week in a crucial game

Spain travel to Athens on Thursday evening to face Greece in their penultimate game in UEFA World Cup qualifying Group B.

La Roja need two wins from their final two matches to guarantee a place in Qatar next year, while the Greeks need a win to keep alive their slim hopes of making the World Cup.

Greece vs Spain latest odds

The two sides met in March in Granada, playing out a 1-1 draw and another stalemate can be backed at 3/1 (4.00) with bet365.

Greece, for their part, are unbeaten in their last 10 home matches in all competitions and are offered at 15/2 (8.50) while Spain can be backed at 9/20 (1.45).

Greece vs Spain first goalscorer

Alvaro Morata is the shortest priced player to break the deadlock, with the 29-year-old available at 3/1 (4.00) ahead of newcomer Raul De Tomas at 4/1 (5.00) and Dani Olmo at 11/2 (6.50).

Greece’s top scorer in the competition is Anastasios Bakasetas with three goals and the Trabzonspor forward is priced at 14/1 (15.00).

Greece vs Spain preview

There is plenty of pressure on Luis Enrique’s side heading into this clash, with Spain knowing they have little margin for error. A strong showing in the Nations League Final Four last month will count for little if La Roja fail to secure top spot in the group, and it could be a nervy night in the Greek capital for the visitors.

Greece are not known for their attacking football but have been finding the back of the net regularly, scoring in nine of their last 10 games, including against the likes of Belgium, Switzerland, and Spain themselves.

Spain have kept just two clean sheets in their last eight games and, while they are clear favourites for the win, there could be some interest in opposing the visitors to keep a clean sheet.

Greece vs Spain tips & predictions

Both teams to score has paid out in the last four meetings between these nations is priced at a healthy looking 11/10 (2.10).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Tite's side have been in impressive form during World Cup qualification, but the goals haven't always been flowing

Brazil aim to continue their extraordinary form in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying when they host Colombia on Thursday.

Tite’s men have dominated the tournament from the start with the only points they have dropped in 11 matches coming in the goalless draw they played out in Colombia last month.

That result was one of the three successive 0-0 stalemates that Colombia have played out over their last three games although Los Cafeteros would surely be content if the scoreline were to be repeated in Sao Paolo.

Brazil vs Colombia latest odds

Brazil have never lost a home World Cup qualifier, with the five-time world champions winning each of their last 11 qualifying games in front of their own fans.

The hosts are priced at 4/9 (1.44) with bet365 to record another win, while Colombia are offered at 13/2 (7.50) and the draw at 10/3 (4.33).

Brazil vs Colombia first goalscorer

Neymar leads the market to open the scoring with the PSG forward priced at 9/4 (3.25) to score first as he did in Brazil’s most recent win over Uruguay in October.

Gabriel Jesus comes next in the betting at 3/1 (4.00) while Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior who was called up to replace Roberto Firmino can be backed at 11/2 (6.50).

Colombia are without talismanic striker Radamel Falcao, with Duvan Zapata expected to lead the line once more. The Atalanta striker is offered at 9/1 (10.00) to break the deadlock.

Brazil vs Colombia preview

These two sides played out a close game four weeks ago and their meeting on Thursday is likely to be another tight encounter.

Brazil’s rampant form in the competition has been based on an extremely solid defence as the side have kept eight clean sheets in 11 matches and, while they are the top scorers in the tournament, they have only won two games by more than a two-goal margin.

La Canarinha have been solid and professional, and they look set to be made to work hard once more by a Colombian outfit which has tightened up defensively in recent matches.

This fixture has generally been a low-scoring affair over the last decade with under 2.5 goals paying out in nine of the last 13 meetings in competitive games and backing a repeat this week should appeal.

Brazil vs Colombia tips & predictions

Under 2.5 goals is priced at 3/4 (1.75) while combining this selection with both teams to score ‘no’ sees the odds rise to 11/10 (2.10).
