class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having eased to a comfortable 4-1 victory in the reverse encounter, Al Hain-Cole is backing a young Gunners side to prove too strong for Moe's men

Arsenal have the chance to book their place in the Europa League knockout stages with two games to spare when they travel to Norway to take on Molde on Thursday.

The Gunners are top of Group B with three wins from three, although they have taken just a single point from their last two fixtures in the Premier League.

Molde vs Arsenal Latest Odds

Nevertheless, they are 7/10 (1.70) favourites with bet365 to boost morale by sailing into the last 32 by coming out on top at the Aker Stadion.

Erling Moe’s team are three points adrift of their opponents in second place but can be backed at 15/4 (4.75) to pull level with a shock win here.

A point here would be enough for the guests to secure progression should Rapid Vienna fail to beat Dundalk in the other group game, and you can get odds of 3/1 (4.00) on them settling for a single point.

Molde vs Arsenal Team News

Kristoffer Haraldseid remains sidelined with a long-term injury, while Ohi Omoijuanfo is unavailable due to illness. 

Bukayo Saka is unavailable after being forced off against Leeds at the weekend, joining Gabriel Martinelli, Pablo Mari, Thomas Partey, and Calum Chambers on a lengthy injury list. Sead Kolasinac and Mohamed Elneny are also expected to miss out after testing positive for COVID-19.

Molde vs Arsenal Preview

With injuries mounting and a busy schedule to contend with, Mikel Arteta is likely to ring the changes for this trip to Norway.

Nevertheless, the likes of Joe Willock and Eddie Nketiah have served their side well in this competition so far, looking far more confident in front of goal than their more senior counterparts in the league.

Indeed, their nine goals in three Europa League games is the same as their tally for the entire league campaign after nine matches, while their opponents have scored just four times in three group games so far.

Molde vs Arsenal Tips and Predictions

All in all, an exciting young Arsenal team looks well worth those 7/10 (1.70) odds to prove too strong yet again for a Molde side they thrashed 4-1 in the reverse encounter.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Foxes won the reverse fixture 4-0 and our tipster is anticipating more goals when the sides meet again in Portugal in the Europa League

Leicester City will be hoping to wrap up qualification to the Europa League last 32 on Thursday when they travel to Braga.

The Foxes have faced little resistance in the group stage so far, scoring nine goals and conceding only once, and will be confident of recording another victory here to reach the knockout stages.

Braga vs Leicester City Latest Odds

The reverse fixture saw Brendan Rodgers’ men ease to a 4-0 win and another three points for them is priced at Evens (2.0) with bet365.

Braga had won their previous two Europa League games prior to the loss at the King Power Stadium but are 12/5 (3.40) outsiders to get revenge on the Foxes.

Neither side has, remarkably, drawn a single game this season and you can get odds of 14/5 (3.80) on that run being ended with a stalemate on Thursday.

Braga vs Leicester City Team News

Timothy Castagne, Wilfred Ndidi and Ricardo Pereira could all be named on the bench after recovering from injury, but otherwise Rodgers is unlikely to have any qualms about starting the same side that won the reverse fixture.

David Carmo is suspended for Braga, who will also be without Fransergio after he tested positive for coronavirus earlier in the month and has not featured since October.

Braga vs Leicester City Preview

Leicester saw their six-game winning run in all competitions ended with a 3-0 loss at Anfield on Sunday night but that is unlikely to demoralise the Foxes too much.

As well as the victory in the reverse fixture, Rodgers’ men enjoyed a big win over Zorya earlier in the Europa League and only four other teams in the tournament have scored more goals than the Premier League side.

That said, Braga created plenty of chances at the King Power Stadium and after scoring five times in their two fixtures since then, it would not be a surprise to see plenty of goals in this one as well.

Braga vs Leicester City Tips and Predictions

It is set to be an action-packed fixture in Portugal and over 2.5 goals is priced at just 4/5 (1.80) with bet365, but combining that with both teams to score pays out at Even money (2.0).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Premier League meetings between these two sides rarely feature much action and our tipster is backing another slow affair on Friday night

Crystal Palace can move to as high as sixth in the Premier League table when they host Newcastle United on Friday night.

It has been an inconsistent season for the Eagles who have won four and lost four of their nine fixtures so far, most recently going down 1-0 at Burnley on Monday night.

Steve Bruce’s men, meanwhile, are two points behind Palace but have lost their last two fixtures and are chasing their second away victory of the season.

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Latest Odds

Three points would lift Roy Hodgson’s men onto 16, level with Everton in sixth, and bet365 make them 13/10 (2.30) favourites to do exactly that.

Newcastle haven’t won at Selhurst Park inside 90 minutes since December 2013, some eight visits ago, and they are 12/5 (3.40) to arrest that run on Friday night.

Two of the last eight Premier League meetings between these two sides have finished level and another draw is priced at 21/10 (3.10) with the online bookmaker.

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Team News

Palace talisman Wilfried Zaha is out after testing positive for coronavirus and Luka Milivojevic is suspended, whilst Gary Cahill could return to the starting line-up after nearly six weeks out.

Jonjo Shelvey was fit enough to be named on the bench against Chelsea and should start here whilst Callum Wilson could be fit, but Dwight Gayle, Martin Dubravka, Ryan Fraser, Paul Dummett and Matt Ritchie are all out.

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Preview

Matches between the Eagles and the Magpies are rarely entertaining affairs, with five of the last seven clashes ending 1-0 and the other two finishing 0-0 and 1-1 respectively.

This fixture is unlikely to break tradition with that run too much, given that Newcastle have failed to score in their last two games and have recorded just 21 shots on target all season – the fewest in the Premier League.

Palace are slightly more potent in front of goal but have still only netted 12 times and their tally of 33 shots on target is still the seventh-fewest in the division – totals which are unlikely to increase too much with Zaha unavailable.

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Tips and Predictions

Having paid out in six of the last seven meetings, under 1.5 goals at 2/1 (3.0) from bet365 offers good value here.

Punters could also play it slightly safer by backing 2.0 goals on the Asian goal line at 2.100, which will see the stake returned in the event of exactly two goals being scored.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Seagulls and the Reds played out two entertaining clashes last term and our tipster is backing plenty of action in an away win on Saturday

Liverpool will be hoping to bounce back from a disappointing Champions League result when they travel to Brighton for Saturday’s Premier League fixture.

Click Here: Luka Modric Jersey Sale

A packed schedule combined with a lengthy injury list forced Jurgen Klopp into a raft of changes for the visit of Atalanta which ended in a 2-0 victory for the Italian side.

Brighton vs Liverpool Latest Odds

The Reds have only won one of their four away games in the league this season but are 4/7 (1.57) favourites with bet365 to pick up three points at the Amex Stadium.

Both of Brighton’s wins this term have come away from home and they are 19/4 (5.75) outsiders to be victorious at home for the first time in nine fixtures there.

None of the six Premier League meetings between this pair have ended level but there is 16/5 (4.20) on this clash finishing in a draw.

Brighton vs Liverpool Team News

Tariq Lamptey was sent off against Aston Villa last time out and will miss this one alongside the injured Alexis Mac Allister. Adam Lallana, Leandro Trossard and Davy Propper are doubts, whilst Aaron Connolly will be assessed.

Klopp will likely revert to a team similar to the one that beat Leicester 3-0 although Jordan Henderson and Thiago could both be set for returns. Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Naby Keita, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all remain out.

Brighton vs Liverpool Preview

Liverpool will be keen to forget Wednesday’s dismal showing which saw them fail to record even a single shot on target, but it could be another tough fixture on the horizon on the south coast.

Despite having won only one of their last seven games, the Seagulls have netted in all but one of those and will fancy their chances of scoring against a makeshift Liverpool defence that has managed only two cleans sheets all season.

Nevertheless, Brighton’s 15 goals conceded gives them the sixth-leakiest defence in the Premier League and they are unlikely to be able to contain the attack with the second-most goals this season.

Brighton vs Liverpool Tips and Predictions

The Reds won this fixture both times last season but conceded each time, and a repeat of Liverpool winning and both teams to score offers solid value at 2/1 (3.0) with bet365.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With their attacking options almost back to full strength, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Citizens to ease to another big victory over Dyche's men

Manchester City will be determined to bounce back from defeat when they welcome Burnley to the Etihad Stadium for Saturday’s Premier League clash.

The Citizens went down 2-0 against Tottenham last weekend, leaving them 13th in the league with just five points to their name from the last available 12.

Manchester City vs Burnley Latest Odds

Having won 10 of their last 11 matches against this opposition in all competitions, they are 1/6 (1.17) favourites with bet365 to return to form with a morale-boosting victory.

Sean Dyche’s men secured their first win of the league season against Crystal Palace last time out but are 15/1 (16.00) outsiders to cause an upset by coming out on top in this one.

The guests have played out goalless draws in each of their last two away games and can be backed at 13/2 (7.50) to earn a creditable point here.

Manchester City vs Burnley Team News

Sergio Aguero is in contention after returning to the bench for the last two matches against Tottenham and Olympiakos, leaving Nathan Ake as the only absentee.

Robbie Brady will face a late fitness test after suffering a hamstring injury against Palace, while Dale Stephens is also a doubt and Jack Cork remains sidelined.

Manchester City vs Burnley Preview

Although keen to protect his star striker’s fitness, Pep Guardiola will be desperate to have Aguero back on the pitch considering his side’s struggles in front of goal this season – scoring just 10 times in the opening eight league matches.

This encounter provides the perfect opportunity to significantly improve on that record considering the Clarets have leaked 24 goals in their last six visits to this stadium.

The hosts are unlikely to have too much trouble at the other end of the pitch either, given their opponents have only scored four goals in eight games this league season and found the net just once in the most recent five.

Manchester City vs Burnley Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 6/5 (2.20) look like solid value on City winning by at least three clear goals for their eighth match in 10 against Burnley, as well as their sixth in a row on home turf.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Matches involving these sides have been among the highest-scoring in the Premier League this season and that trend looks set to continue this weekend

Everton welcome Leeds United to Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon with Carlo Ancelotti’s men aiming to record their third home win of the Premier League season.

The Toffees ended a run of three consecutive defeats last weekend with a victory at Fulham, while Leeds have won just one of their last six matches after a strong start.

Everton vs Leeds United Latest Odds

Marcelo Bielsa’s side lost 4-1 at Crystal Palace in their last away game, yet their previous two matches on the road had brought two victories.

The Elland Road outfit can be backed at 14/5 (3.80) with bet365, while a home win is offered at 19/20 (1.95) and the draw at 13/5 (3.60).

Everton vs Leeds United Team News

Everton are without Seamus Coleman, Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Lucas Digne, meaning there could be a start for Niels Nkounkou at left-back.

Long-term absentees Gaetano Berardi and Adam Forshaw are still out for Leeds, who are currently assessing Jamie Shackleton, Pablo Hernandez and Diego Llorente.

Everton vs Leeds United Preview

Matches involving these two sides this season have been some of the highest-scoring in the Premier League and another goal-filled encounter looks likely this weekend.

Everton’s games have averaged 3.89 goals this term while for Leeds the figure is 3.44 – both well above the league average of 3.01.

Bielsa’s men have scored in all four of their away matches, while the Merseysiders have netted 12 goals at home – the second-highest total in the division.

Indeed, backing goals in Everton’s matches has been a profitable venture over the last few weeks, with seven of their last eight league matches seeing over 2.5 goals, and against a side that have a strong scoring record themselves there should be plenty of interest in backing a repeat.

Everton vs Leeds United Tips and Predictions

Over 2.5 goals is priced at 8/13 (1.53) but if we combine that selection with both teams to score the odds rise to a more appealing 10/11 (1.91).

This bet has paid out in seven of Everton’s last eight league games, as well as in two of Leeds’ last three clashes, and looks a shrewd selection for a meeting between two of the Premier League’s highest-scoring outfits.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Spanish champions boast a strong record in their own stadium and we think their struggling opponents will be no match for them this weekend

Real Madrid welcome Alaves to the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano on Saturday evening with Zinedine Zidane’s side aiming to get back to winning ways in La Liga.

Los Blancos have failed to claim victory in each of their last two domestic games, but are clear favourites for three points against a Basque side who have won just four of their last 27 away games.

Real Madrid vs Alaves Latest Odds

The Spanish champions are offered at 1/3 (1.33) with bet365 to record their sixth win of the season, while Alaves can be backed at 8/1 (9.00) to win at Real Madrid for the first time in 20 years.

The draw is available at 17/4 (5.25).

Real Madrid vs Alaves Team News

The hosts remain without captain Sergio Ramos, while midfielder Fede Valverde is also sidelined. Striker Karim Benzema has missed the last two matches and could be out this weekend as well, while Luka Jovic tested positive for coronavirus.

Alaves captain Manu Garcia has also tested positive for coronavirus and former Real Madrid youth-team player Burgui is a doubt. Pere Pons is a long-term absentee.

Real Madrid vs Alaves Preview

Los Blancos come into the game after an excellent showing in the Champions League on Wednesday evening which saw them comfortably overcome Inter by a 2-0 scoreline.

Despite a purported lack of goal-threat, Madrid have scored in 11 of their last 12 matches in all competitions and should be too strong for an Alaves side that have won just two of their 10 games this term.

The Vitoria-based team had one of the worst attacking records in the division last season, managing just 34 goals in 38 games, and this season they are likely to be among the least-prolific sides in the Spanish top-flight.

They are unlikely to be able to contribute to a high-scoring clash, while Madrid will be keen to get the game won with the minimum of fuss given their upcoming trip to Ukraine against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. 

Real Madrid vs Alaves Tips and Predictions

Zidane’s side have won 12 of their last 15 home league games, and 10 of those victories have seen under 3.5 goals. Backing the hosts to win and fewer than four goals in the game is priced at 6/5 (2.20) and should be an appealing selection.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The South Korean international has formed a lethal combination with Harry Kane this season, and Al Hain-Cole is backing him to fire past the Blues

After putting Manchester City to the sword in a clinical display last time out, Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min will be aiming to inflict more damage when Tottenham visit Chelsea on Sunday.

The star duo have scored 16 goals between them in the opening nine Premier League fixtures, with Kane providing nine assists alongside his seven goals.

Despite firing just once in his last seven matches against the Blues, the England captain is his side’s 9/2 (5.50) favourite with bet365 to open the scoring at Stamford Bridge and priced at 13/10 (2.30) to strike anytime.

However, Son looks a far more generous bet at 9/4 (3.25) anytime, having found the net 11 times in 11 starts in all competitions this campaign.

Gareth Bale has been more of a supporting act since his high profile summer return to North London but is available at 9/4 (3.25) to steal some headlines for himself with a goal here.

Although four strikes in his first nine league matches is a respectable return, it is fair to say that it seems the best is yet to come for star summer signing Timo Werner at Stamford Bridge.

Having opened his account for his new club in September’s 1-1 Carabao Cup draw against this same opposition, the Germany international is the 4/1 (5.00) front runner to break the deadlock and on offer at 6/5 (2.20) to score anytime once again.

Werner has actually been deployed on the left by Frank Lampard so far, with Tammy Abraham tasked with leading the line through the middle.

On target in three of his last four outings, the 23-year-old is available at 6/4 (2.50) to extend that fine run with another goal here.

Hakim Ziyech’s arrival in the summer was slightly overshadowed by other signings and the fact he was carrying an injury when the season began.

However, having shown his quality with some highly effective recent performances, the former Ajax man is on offer at 12/5 (3.40) to really endear himself to the Chelsea fans with a goal against the London rivals.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts have an extraordinary home record against the side from Pamplona and we are backing another high-scoring home win at Camp Nou on Sunday

Barcelona are aiming for an improvement in their fortunes in La Liga when they host Osasuna at Camp Nou on Sunday. 

Ronald Koeman’s men have won just one of their last six matches in the Spanish top-flight, meaning the have picked up just 11 points from a possible 24 this season.

The visitors to Catalonia this weekend are an Osasuna side who recorded a 2-1 win when they last played at Camp Nou in July, a result which ended the Catalans’ title hopes.

Barcelona vs Osasuna Latest Odds

Prior to their visit to the Camp Nou this summer, Osasuna had an awful record in this fixture, losing 7-1, 7-0, 5-1 and 8-0 in their previous four attempts.

The side from Pamplona are offered at 10/1 (11.00) with bet365 while Barca can be backed at 1/4 (1.25) with the draw at 5/1 (6.00).

Barcelona vs Osasuna Team news

The hosts have a number of players missing with Gerard Pique, Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto, Samuel Umtiti and Ronaldo Araujo all out injured, whilst Sergio Busquets is also a doubt after missing the last two games.

Osasuna meanwhile also have plenty of absentees with defender David Garcia joining strikers Chimy Avila, Brandon Thomas and Adrian Lopez on the sidelines. Jonathan Calleri is a doubt with a knee problem. 

Barcelona vs Osasuna Preview

There are plenty of question marks surrounding this Barcelona side, yet if they could have hand-picked a fixture for them to gain some confidence it might have been this one.

Osasuna have been on the end of some enormous defeats in recent years at  Camp Nou and they will be wary of a Barca team that have a point to prove.

Furthermore, Jagoba Arrasate’s men have not scored an away goal since early September and their injury problems in attack just further hinder the chances of another shock.

Barcelona have failed to win twice at home this season but those clashes were against Real Madrid and Sevilla, with the visitors on Sunday not the same calibre of opponent.

There should be plenty of interest in backing the hosts to win and rack up the goals in the process, something which they have had no problem in doing against Osasuna in the past.

Barcelona vs Osasuna Tips and Predictions

Barca to win and over 3.5 goals in the game is priced at 6/5 (2.20) and has paid out in both of the Catalans’ home wins in La Liga this season.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Matches involving these two sides have been some of the lowest scoring in the Premier League this season and we are backing that run to continue

Arsenal welcome Wolves to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday with Mikel Arteta’s side looking to improve their Premier League form.

The Gunners have won just one of their last five matches, scoring just one goal during that run and at home, the side from north London have lost back-to-back league games for the first time this year.

Wolves, for their part, have won two of their four games on the road this term and recorded a 1-1 draw on their last visit to this stadium back in July.

Arsenal vs Wolves Latest Odds

Arteta’s men have won all four of their European games this season and will be hoping to transfer that form to the Premier League here.

Their most recent success came on Thursday evening away to Molde and bet365 offer another win for the hosts this Sunday at 21/20 (2.05).

Wolves are available at 11/4 (3.75), with the draw at 12/5 (3.40).

Arsenal vs Wolves Team News

Nicolas Pepe, Pablo Mari, Sead Kolasinac, Mohamed Elneny and Gabriel Martinelli are all ruled out for this weekend’s clash. Furthermore, David Luiz and Willian are currently being assessed and Thomas Partey is unlikely to feature.

The visitors are without Jonny Castro and Romain Saiss while Conor Coady is self-isolating due to coronavirus.

Arsenal vs Wolves Preview 

Arsenal’s solitary goal in their last 450 minutes of Premier League action came from the penalty spot at Old Trafford and it is no secret that the Gunners are struggling currently in the final third.

Their laboured 0-0 draw at Leeds last weekend saw the capital club toil without ever really looking like scoring, especially after Pepe was sent off, and that is a trend that could continue this weekend.

The Gunners’ matches in the Premier League this term have averaged 2.11 goals, the second-lowest total in the division, while Wolves’ games have also averaged the same number of strikes.

As well, none of Wolves’ last six games have seen over 2.5 goals and so opposing goals at the weekend makes plenty of sense.

Arsenal vs Wolves Tips and Predictions

Under 2.5 goals is offered at 8/13 (1.53) but those odds rise to a healthy 21/20 (2.05) when combined with both teams to score ‘no’.
