class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Red Devils confident in front of goal at Old Trafford and Bruce's men struggling for firepower, Al Hain-Cole expects a comfortable home win

Manchester United will be hoping to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Newcastle United to Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Red Devils are without a victory in their last two league matches, extending a run that has produced only two wins in seven.

Manchester United vs Newcastle Latest Odds

However, having recorded an impressive 4-0 away victory over Real Sociedad in Thursday’s Europa League clash, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are 1/4 (1.25) favourites to come out on top here.

Steve Bruce has overseen just two wins in the last 15 fixtures in all competitions but can be backed at 10/1 (11.00) to mastermind a shock victory over the club he spent nine years at as a player.

Three of the hosts’ last four league matches have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 5/1 (6.00) on them being held to another stalemate in this one.

Manchester United vs Newcastle Team News

Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek and Edinson Cavani are all doubtful, but Paul Pogba is sidelined with a thigh injury and Phil Jones is a long-term absentee.

Javier Manquillo, Fabian Schar, and Callum Wilson are all ruled out, although Federico Fernandez could be back in contention.

Manchester United vs Newcastle Preview

While the wins haven’t come too easily in the league of late, Solskjaer’s side have certainly not struggled to find the back of the net – particularly on home turf.

Having scored 22 times in just the last six league matches at Old Trafford, they should have far too much for a defence that has kept just three clean sheets in 23 league matches and conceded 15 in their most recent seven on the road.

What’s more, the Magpies are unlikely to pose too many problems at the other end of the pitch considering they have failed to score in five of their last six away league fixtures.

Manchester United vs Newcastle Tips and Predictions

Considering they have won both of the last two encounters by emphatic 4-1 scorelines, odds of 8/11 (1.73) offer solid value on Manchester United beating a struggling Newcastle side by at least clear goals for the third encounter in a row between the sides.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams looking confident in front of goal, Al Hain-Cole expects Guardiola's men to get the better of a high-scoring game against the Gunners

Arsenal are next in line to try and halt the Manchester City winning machine when the sides meet at the Emirates Stadium for Sunday’s Premier League clash.

The Gunners have come out on top just once in their last five matches in all competitions and are faced with a team that is enjoying a record-breaking 17-game winning streak.

Arsenal vs Manchester City Latest Odds

Having lost nine of the last 10 encounters with this opposition, they are 11/2 (6.50) outsiders with bet365 to upset the odds by consigning their opponents to a first defeat since November.

Pep Guardiola’s men have come out on top in five of their last six visits to this stadium and are overwhelming 1/2 (1.50) favourites to emerge victorious once again.

Three of the hosts’ last five home matches have resulted in draws, and there are odds of 10/3 (4.33) on them earning an impressive point in this one.

Arsenal vs Manchester City Team News

Kieran Tierney is available once again after making his comeback from injury in Thursday’s 1-1 Europa League draw with Benfica, leaving Thomas Partey as the only absentee.

In-form Ilkay Gundogan is a doubt after suffering a groin strain in last weekend’s victory over Tottenham, while Nathan Ake remains sidelined.

Arsenal vs Manchester City Preview

While their defence has been performing to an extremely high standard for a long time now, the Citizens have looked increasingly efficient at the other end of the pitch as well of late.

Having averaged three goals per match over the last 10 fixtures in all competitions, they will pose a huge challenge to a Gunners backline that has kept just one clean sheet in their previous seven games.

Nevertheless, Mikel Arteta will at least be encouraged by his team’s four-goal haul in their previous league game against Leeds, as well as their comeback to secure an away draw against Benfica.

Arsenal vs Manchester City Tips and Predictions

With both teams looking confident in front of goal, odds of 13/10 (2.30) seem generous on a Manchester City side that beat Arsenal 4-1 at this ground in December’s Carabao Cup tie getting the better of a match to produce over 2.5 goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Spanish side have been conceding regularly in recent weeks and our tipster thinks there is excellent value to be had in backing goals at both ends

Chelsea face La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid at the Puskas Arena, Budapest, in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday evening, with the game having been moved to Romania because of coronavirus travel restrictions.

Thomas Tuchel’s men were held to a 1-1 draw by Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday to end a five-match winning run, while Atletico suffered their first home league defeat in 14 months – going down 2-0 against Levante.

Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea Latest Odds

Chelsea were the last team to beat Atletico at home in the Champions League, with the Blues recording a 2-1 group stage win in September 2017.

Diego Simeone’s side have since gone 13 home matches unbeaten in the competition and bet365 offer the hosts at 31/20 (2.55)   despite this not being played in the Spanish capital.

The Premier League outfit, meanwhile, won all three of their group games on the road this term and are available at 2/1 (3.00) with the draw at 21/10 (3.10) .

Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea Team News

Los Rojiblancos are still missing the suspended Kieran Trippier, whilst Yannick Carrasco is a major doubt after missing the weekend game with a muscle problem and midfielder Hector Herrera is also out with coronavirus.

Chelsea will be hoping that injured trio Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz and Thiago Silva will be fit enough to be included in the matchday squad, with all three players closing in on returns from their respective injuries.

Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea Preview

Atletico have long been one of Europe’s best defensive outfits, but they come into this clash on one of their worst runs in recent years.

Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat by Levante was the seventh consecutive game in which Los Rojiblancos have conceded, their longest run of matches without a clean sheet since Diego Simeone took over in December 2011.

Chelsea should be able to take advantage of this considering they have netted in 18 of their last 20 encounters in all competitions, as well as in their last five Champions League.

There should definitely be some interest in opposing the hosts to keep a clean sheet, given their current defensive run as well as the visitors’ efficiency in the final third. 

Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score is priced at evens (2.00) which looks like an excellent selection, while backing Chelsea to net over 1.5 goals is offered at a healthy-looking 9/4 (3.25) .

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The reigning European champions travel to the Italian capital in the Champions League and our tipster is backing a high-scoring clash on Tuesday

Bayern Munich travel to the Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday evening to face Lazio in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, with Hans-Dieter Flick’s side clear favourites to progress.

However, defending champions come into the game having dropped points in their last two Bundesliga matches, with defeat on Saturday at Eintracht Frankfurt seeing their lead at the top of the table cut to just two points.

Lazio, for their part, are one of the most in-form teams in Serie A with seven wins in their last eight matches to move into contention for next season’s competition.

Lazio vs Bayern Munich Latest Odds

Simone Inzaghi’s side were unbeaten in the group stages, recording two wins and four draws to finish second in Group F behind Borussia Dortmund.

The hosts are offered at 15/4 (4.75) with bet365 to claim a first leg win, with Bayern available at 4/6 (1.66) and the draw at 16/5 (4.20). 

Lazio vs Bayern Munich Team News

Lazio are without Luiz Felipe and Stefan Radu, while Andrea Pereira was missing from the weekend win over Sampdoria but could return here.

The visitors have a long list of absentees with Serge Gnabry, Corentin Tolisso and Douglas Costa all injured, while Benjamin Pavard and Thomas Muller have coronavirus.

Lazio vs Bayern Munich Preview

On paper this is one of the most one-sided ties in the last-16, with the defending champions facing a side that are playing in the knockout stages for the first time in two decades.

In practice, however, the game could well be closer than many expect, with injuries and fatigue seeming to impact Bayern in recent weeks while their opponents are enjoying their best run of the season.

Only one player in Europe out-scored Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski last season and that was Lazio’s Ciro Immobile, with the Italy forward boasting 19 goals in all competitions this term – five of which came in the Champions League.

The Serie A team netted in all six group-stage matches and they have the firepower to contribute to a high-scoring game, whilst Bayern have conceded in 15 of their last 17 Bundesliga matches and have kept just one clean sheet in their last five Champions League encounters.

Lazio vs Bayern Munich Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at 8/11 (1.73) and looks like an excellent selection given both sides’ respective records.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Ralph Hasenhuttl's men have faltered of late and our tipster is expecting the free-scoring Whites to take advantage of their opponents' leaky defence

Southampton are looking to reignite their season when they travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United on Tuesday night.

Since a 3-0 win over Sheffield United on December 13, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men have won only one and lost seven of their last 12 Premier League outings – most famously losing 9-0 at Manchester United earlier this month.

In the same time, Leeds have won six and lost six to sit just two points above their visitors, having most recently gone down 1-0 at Wolves.

Leeds United vs Southampton Latest Odds

Marcelo Bielsa’s men have lost three of their last four top-flight games but are 13/10 (2.30) favourites with bet365 to move up to 10th with victory here.

Southampton have lost six and drawn one of their last seven in the Premier League and can be backed at 21/10 (3.10) to pick up three points for the first time since January 4.

It has been 18 years and 10 meetings since this fixture last ended all-square and another draw can be backed at 5/2 (3.50).

Leeds United vs Southampton Team News

Robin Koch is nearing a return but this game comes too soon, whilst Kalvin Phillips, Ian Poveda, Rodrigo, Gaetano Berardi and Adam Forshaw all still injured.

Stuart Armstrong missed Southampton’s draw against Chelsea last time out but should be fit for this one, leaving Theo Walcott, Ibrahima Diallo, Kyle Walker-Peters, Michael Obafemi and William Smallbone as absentees for the Saints.

Leeds United vs Southampton Preview

Leeds’ inconsistent season continued on Friday night with defeat at Wolves but that was the first time in six games they had failed to score, although they did manage seven shots on target from 59 per cent possession.

Given the unfortunate nature with which they conceded – Adama Traore’s long-range shot hit the woodwork and rolled into the goal off the back of the sprawling Illan Meslier – the Whites will certainly take heart from that match ahead of this fixture against a struggling Southampton.

Even discounting the 9-0 defeat at Old Trafford which saw the Saints go down to 10 men inside two minutes, the other six games in their current winless run have seen Hasenhuttl’s men concede 12 times.

Leeds United vs Southampton Tips and Predictions

Having shipped more than once in five of their last seven, Southampton could have their work cut out against a Leeds attack that is the sixth-highest scoring in the division.

The Whites have scored twice or more in five of their most recent six in the Premier league and backing them to net over 1.5 goals again on Tuesday looks a strong option at 10/11 (1.91) with bet365.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Spurs have been in prolific form in this season's Europa League, and Al Hain-Cole expects another high-scoring game against Feldhofer's men

Tottenham will be looking to ease into the Europa League last-16 when they welcome Wolfsberger to north London on Wednesday.

Jose Mourinho’s men already have one foot in the next round after running out comfortable 4-1 winners in last week’s away leg.

Tottenham vs Wolfsberger Latest Odds

Having won four out of four home games in this season’s competition, Spurs are clear 2/7 (1.29) favourites with bet365 to wrap the tie up with another victory.

Wolfsberger won two of their three away games in the group stages but are 8/1 (9.00) outsiders to find a way back into the tie by pulling off a shock win here.

Just two of this duo’s combined 17 fixtures in this season’s competition have resulted in draws, but there are odds of 5/1 (6.00) available on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Tottenham vs Wolfsberger Team News

Serge Aurier and Giovani Lo Celso are the only injury concerns for the hosts, while Joe Rodon is ineligible after not being included in the Europa League squad.

Eliel Peretz remains sidelined and Sven Sprangler is a doubt after coming off injured in Sunday’s win over Sturm Graz, although Mario Leitgeb should be back in contention.

Tottenham vs Wolfsberger Preview

While their Premier League campaign has been a frustrating one so far, Spurs have enjoyed some welcome relief in this competition – particularly in front of goal.

Indeed, they have scored 31 times in their 10 Europa League matches and are averaging exactly four per game in their own backyard.

After a disappointing run of five defeats in six league matches, they will be keen to secure another morale-boosting result in a game that is already heavily stacked in their favour.

Ferdinand Feldhofer’s team is certainly there for the taking considering they have failed to keep a clean sheet in five matches, although can at least point to a record of failing to score just once in four Europa League away games – hitting the net seven times in the other three.

Tottenham vs Wolfsberger Tips and Predictions

With little pressure on Tottenham, odds of 6/4 (2.50) are well worth backing on them ensuring over 3.5 goals are scored for the fourth time in five Europa League games.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having proved almost impenetrable at the back recently, Al Hain-Cole expects Guardiola's men to prove too strong for a home team lacking inspiration

Manchester City will be aiming to take their record-breaking winning streak into Europe when they take on Borussia Monchengladbach at the Puskas Arena in Wednesday’s Champions League clash.

Pep Guardiola’s men are well on course for a clean sweep of domestic trophies once again after a run of 18 consecutive victories in all competitions, moving them 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Manchester City Latest Odds

Having sailed through to the knockout stages with 16 points from a possible 18 in the group stage, City are 3/10 (1.30) favourites with bet365 to put one foot in the quarter-finals with yet another victory.

Meanwhile, Borussia have only won one of their last five games in all competitions and are 8/1 (9.00) outsiders to cause an upset against their in-form guests.

The last meeting between this duo resulted in a 1-1 draw back in 2016, and you can get odds of 19/4 (5.75) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Manchester City Team News

Borussia have a fully fit squad to choose from, although Stefan Lainer and Lars Stindl will need to be cautious as a booking would rule them out of the return leg.

The likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero have returned from injury in recent matches, leaving Nathan Ake as the only injury absentee.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Manchester City Preview

While the Citizens have at times struggled to transfer their dominant domestic performances to the latter stages of the Champions League in the last decade, it is really hard to see them allowing any room for error in this match.

This confidence is largely based on their extremely solid defence, which has conceded just six goals over the course of their 18-match winning streak and kept 10 clean sheets in the most recent 14.

Having not conceded in this competition since the 14th minute of the opening group game, they will surely back themselves to shut down a German team that has lost some of its attacking inspiration of late.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Manchester City Tips and Predictions

With just three goals to their name in the last four Bundesliga fixtures, odds of 5/4 (2.25) seem generous on Borussia Monchengladbach being held at arm’s length in a comfortable Manchester City victory.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts are favourites to beat the 13-time Champions League winners and we are backing the goals to flow in northern Italy on Wednesday evening

Real Madrid travel to Bergamo to face Atalanta on Wednesday evening in the first leg of their last-16 tie in the Champions League with Zinedine Zidane’s side hoping to transfer their strong recent La Liga form to European competition.

The Spanish champions have won their last four league games, yet they face an Atalanta side with plenty of confidence themselves and Gianpiero Gasperini’s men are free from the burden of any expectations.

Atalanta vs Real Madrid Latest Odds

Despite their inexperience at this level of European competition, the hosts find themselves favourites for Wednesday night’s clash – with bet365 offering them at 7/5 (2.40).

The 13-time European champions are priced at 7/4 (2.75) with the draw offered at 13/5 (3.60).

Atalanta vs Real Madrid Team News

Real travel to Italy missing three first-choice players with Dani Carvajal, Karim Benzema, and Sergio Ramos all out, with Mariano Diaz likely to start only his second ever Champions League match as the Frenchman’s replacement.

The hosts, for their part, only have full-back Hans Hateboer likely to be out.

Atalanta vs Real Madrid Preview 

It is surprising to find the La Liga champions as outsiders for this game, yet the absence of Benzema is arguably the key factor in Madrid not being fancied to win in Italy.

The forward is Real’s top scorer in all competitions this term with 17 goals with the second-most prolific player being defensive midfielder Casemiro with six strikes, demonstrating how reliaant Los Blancos are on their number nine.

Despite the loss of Benzema, the visitors have enough knowhow and tactical guile in European competition and will know the importance of scoring an away goal, having netted in each of their last 20 knockout games in the Champions League. 

Atalanta are a side who are built to attack, with their Colombian strike partnership of Duvan Zapata and Luis Muriel looking extremely dangerous, and it is difficult to envisage the team from Bergamo also failing to score on Wednesday.

Atalanta vs Real Madrid Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at 5/6 (1.83) and looks like an excellent bet for this first leg clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Barca cannot afford any more slip-ups in the La Liga title race and our tipster is backing them to record a big win against their struggling opponents

Ronald Koeman’s Barcelona side welcome Elche to Camp Nou on Wednesday in a rearranged fixture from matchday one in La Liga.

The Blaugrana will be aiming to bounce back from the disappointment of drawing 1-1 at home to Cadiz on Sunday, having also convincingly been beaten in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie last week by Paris Saint-Germain.

Elche, though, ended a 16-match winless streak at the weekend by beating Eibar 1-0 in manager Fran Escriba’s first match back for his second spell in charge. 

Barcelona vs Elche Latest Odds

Escriba’s team are huge outsiders for the visit to Catalonia, but the relegation-threatened side will take heart from seeing how fellow strugglers have been able to claim results at Camp Nou this season.

Indeed, both Eibar and Cadiz have claimed 1-1 draws away to Barca in recent weeks and another stalemate is priced at 8/1 (9.00) with bet365.

The hosts are offered at 1/8 (1.12) while an away win can be backed at 18/1 (19.00).

Barcelona vs Elche Team News

Ansu Fati, Philippe Coutinho and Sergi Roberto are all out for Barca, while Ronald Araujo is a major doubt at centre-back.

The visitors are missing Fidel Chaves, Jony Alamo and Diego Gonzalez.

Barcelona vs Elche Preview

Now eight points off the top of La Liga, there is a real need for Barca to bounce back quickly following an incredibly disappointing previous week.

The draw at home to Cadiz on Sunday was made all the worse because leaders Atletico Madrid had lost for only the second time this season and the Catalans missed a rare chance to close the gap.

A win on Wednesday would put Barca to within five points of the top and Elche could find themselves in for a long night, especially considering that Koeman’s men eased past their opponents 2-0 in the reverse fixture just last month.

The hosts recorded a 5-1 home league win over another relegation-threatened side in Alaves two weeks ago, and backing them to get among the goals once again could be the best way forward. 

Barcelona vs Elche Tips and Predictions

Barcelona to win and over 3.5 goals in the game is priced at 10/11 (1.91).

The Catalans are the top scorers in the division and have more than enough firepower to record a high scoring win against one of the poorest sides in the division, with this looking like the best way to invest in a home win. 

You can watch La Liga live on the go with your iPhone, iPad or Android device through your bet365 account. All you need is a funded account or to have placed a bet in the last 24 hours to qualify.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Premier League side were comfortable winners in the first leg but our tipster is backing the visitors to put up more of a fight at Old Trafford

Manchester United welcome Real Sociedad to Old Trafford on Thursday evening with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men knowing they already have one foot in the last-16 of the Europa League.

Last week’s 4-0 victory in the first leg of this tie means that – barring a catastrophic collapse – the Premier League side will progress to the next round of the competition.

Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Latest Odds

The hosts are quoted at 9/10 (1.90) to win and at just 1/500 (1.00) to qualify for the last 16 with bet365.

Meanwhile, optimistic fans of the side from San Sebastian might be interested in the price of 50/1 (51.00) for them to progress while they can be backed at 11/4 (3.75) to win on the night.

The draw is available at 13/5 (3.60).

Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Team News

Given the score line from the first leg, it remains to be seen how strong the respective line-ups from the two managers. United are without Paul Pogba and Phil Jones, while Edinson Cavani, Donny van de Beek and Scott McTominay will be assessed.

The visitors are missing defenders Joseba Zaldua and Aritz Elustondo, although forward Carlos Fernandez could return from injury.

Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Preview

The first leg saw the Spanish side outclassed by their English opponents, with La Real surprisingly poor all over the pitch.

Imanol Alguacil’s side followed up that disappointment by producing a thumping 4-0 win at the weekend against Alaves and on their day, the Basques play some of the best football in Spain.

It is surely too big an ask for them to be able to produce a comeback, although restoring some pride by getting on the scoresheet should be well within their grasp.

La Real had scored in the previous 10 games prior to the first leg, and after their weekend win, there should be interest in backing them to contribute to another high-scoring game.

Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is available at 19/20 (1.95) and looks like a strong option for the game.

Backing the visitors to net over 1.5 goals at 13/8 (2.62) could also be of interest, with United conceding two or more goals in four of their last eight home games.
