class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts have made it through to the Europa League last-eight despite poor domestic form and our tipster is backing the Red Devils in the first leg

Manchester United travel to the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes on Thursday evening to face Granada in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are second in the Premier League and clear favourites against the La Liga side who have vastly exceeded expectations in their first-ever continental campaign.

Granada vs Manchester United Latest Odds

Diego Martinez’s side have seen off the likes of Napoli and PSV in their run to the last eight of the competition and bet365 price them at 11/2 (6.50) to claim a first leg success.

The visitors, meanwhile, have won both of their away games in the competition – triumphing 4-0 at Real Sociedad and 1-0 in Milan in the previous rounds.

United can be backed at 4/7 (1.57) with the draw at 14/5 (3.80) .

Granada vs Manchester United Team News

The Premier League side will be without Anthony Martial, who is facing an extended spell on the sidelines, whilst Marcus Rashford is a doubt after being withdrawn during the weekend win over Brighton and Eric Bailly is out with coronavirus.

Granada could welcome back Colombian striker Luis Suarez to the matchday squad, although he is not likely to start after missing two months of action, but Luis Milla, Dimitri Foulqiuer and Carlos Neva remain out for the side from Andalusia.

Granada vs Manchester United Preview

The hosts come into the game missing key players and in poor form, having won just two of their last 11 matches in La Liga.

They have done extremely well to reach this stage in their debut European season yet the effects of beginning their campaign in the early qualifying rounds is beginning to tell, with Granada looking extremely tired and sluggish during their 3-0 home defeat by Villarreal at the weekend.

United certainly have enough quality to record a win as they have done in their previous away matches in the tournament, and there should be plenty of interest in investing in an away victory.

Granada vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

Granada have conceded at least two goals in nine of their last 13 matches in all competitions and backing United to win and score over 1.5 goals at evens (2.00) looks like an attractive selection.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Eredivisie champions-elect are on a long unbeaten run and our tipster is backing them to get amongst the goals in the Europa League on Thursday

Ajax will be looking to extend their long unbeaten run when they welcome Serie A outfit Roma to the Johan Cruyff Arena in the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday.

The Eredivisie club have won 21 and drawn three of their last 24 outings, last tasting defeat back in December 2020 when they went down 1-0 at home to Atalanta in the Champions League group stage.

Ajax vs Roma Latest Odds

Ajax reached the final of this competition in 2017 and bet365 make them 19/20 (1.95) to take a step towards the semis this year with a first-leg victory.

Roma have won only one of their last four matches in all competitions and are out at 13/5 (3.60) to put themselves in the driving seat ahead of the return leg.

A draw would leave the tie in a precarious position and that is available at 14/5 (3.80) .

Ajax vs Roma Team News

Andre Onana is still suspended for Ajax whilst Maarten Stekelenberg is a doubt after picking up an injury at the weekend, meaning Kjell Scherpen should deputise. Noussair Mazraoui, Daley Blind, Sebastian Haller are all out.

Roma will be without Stephan El Shaarawy, Marash Kumbulla, Nicolo Zaniolo, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jordan Veretout, who are all injured.

Ajax vs Roma Preview

After moving 11 points clear at the top of Eredivisie on Sunday with a 2-1 win over Heerenveen, Ajax can essentially put all their focus into continuing their European exploits and extending their undefeated streak.

Erik ten Hag’s men were unlucky to drop into the Europa League but have taken this competition in their stride with a 4-2 aggregate win over Ligue 1 leaders Lille in the last-32 and a 5-1 victory against Young Boys in the last-16.

Those two matches have contributed to a run of Ajax scoring more than once in 15 of their last 16 games, and they will certainly fancy their chances of doing so again when they face Roma’s faltering defence.

Indeed, the Serie A club have conceded twice or more in three of their last four matches and kept a clean sheet in only seven of their most recent nine fixtures.

Ajax vs Roma Tips and Predictions

A free-scoring Ajax team on such an impressive unbeaten run will have confidence flowing through them and backing them to net more than once at 8/11 (1.73) with bet365 looks the way to go in this Europa League quarter-final clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Croatian hosts boast a strong defence at home and our tipster is anticipating a tight first leg in this Europa League quarter-final on Thursday

Villarreal are looking to make it six wins in a row when they travel to Maksimir Stadium to face Dinamo Zagreb in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final.

With any hope of claiming a Champions League place via La Liga seemingly gone, the Yellow Submarine will need to win this competition to grace Europe’s top competition for the first time since 2011-12 and will be in good spirits after claiming victory in their last five matches in all competitions.

Dinamo Zagreb vs Villarreal Latest Odds

Unai Emery’s side have won all but one of their Europa League fixtures this season and bet365 make them 10/11 (1.91) favourites to add another victory to their tally on Thursday.

Dinamo, though, have been very impressive with four home wins in a row in this competition but are 16/5 (4.20) outsiders to take a lead back to Spain.

A draw would leave the tie firmly in the balance for the second leg and that is available 12/5 (3.40) with the online bookmaker.

Dinamo Zagreb vs Villarreal Team News

Bruno Petkovic is nursing a shoulder injury and is unlikely to feature, but otherwise Dinamo will likely play the same side that stunned Tottenham 3-0 in the last round.

Villarreal are only missing Pervis Estupinan and Vicente Iborra.

Dinamo Zagreb vs Villarreal Preview

Dinamo are perhaps the surprise package of this season’s Europa League, having never got to this stage of the tournament in its current format before, and will be coursing with confidence after overturning a 2-0 deficit to beat Spurs in the last-16.

Their impressive run can certainly be put down a strong defence at home, with CSKA Moscow the only visiting team to have netted in Zagreb in this season’s competition proper.

Villarreal also boast a strong defence and with three clean sheets in a row away from home in this tournament, will fancy their chances of keeping it tight ahead of the return leg in Spain next week.

Dinamo Zagreb vs Villarreal Tips and Predictions

Opposing both teams to score offers reasonable value at 3/4 (1.75) for this Europa League clash, having paid out in eight of Dinamo’s 10 matches in the competition this season as well as in five of Villarreal’s.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Pep Guardiola's side are storming to the Premier League crown and our tipster is backing them to pick up a victory against Marcelo Bielsa's men

Manchester City can take another step towards regaining the Premier League title when they welcome Leeds United to Etihad Stadium on Saturday lunchtime.

The champions-elect have won 27 of their last 28 games in all competitions, and three points in this one would move them to within eight of winning the league.

Manchester City vs Leeds United Latest Odds

Given that sequence of results, it is no surprise to see City as 2/7 (1.28) favourites with bet365 to pick up another victory here.

Leeds have only won three games against top-half teams this season and are out at 9/1 (10.0) to stun Pep Guardiola’s men.

These teams played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at Elland Road earlier in the campaign and another stalemate is 19/4 (5.75).

Manchester City vs Leeds United Team News

Guardiola has the luxury of a fully-fit squad for this one ahead of their Champions League second leg against Borussia Dortmund next week, meaning Sergio Aguero, Ferran Torres and Nathan Ake could all be given starts.

Jack Harrison is ineligible to face his parent club and is likely to be replaced by Helder Costa in the starting lineup, while Adam Forshaw is a long-term absentee.

Manchester City vs Leeds United Preview

There appears to be no stopping Man City as they romp towards a third Premier League title in four years, with the league leaders having dropped three of the last available 57 points, scoring 46 goals in that time.

While they should be able to extend that streak on Saturday, their last six home games in all competitions have yielded just a single clean sheet and Leeds certainly have enough to exploit that.

Bielsa’s side have scored twice in each of their last two games and only failed to net in three of their 15 away Premier League fixtures this season.

Manchester City vs Leeds United Tips and Predictions

City to win and both teams to score looks to hold terrific value at 8/5 (2.60) with bet365 for this Premier League clash, having paid out in four of the hosts’ last six on this ground.

Also, Leeds have scored in seven of their 10 defeats against top-half teams this term.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Dean Smith's men recorded a stunning 7-2 victory in the previous league meeting, but our tipster is expecting a much more subdued affair at Anfield

Revenge will be on the mind of Liverpool when they welcome Aston Villa to Anfield for Saturday afternoon’s Premier League clash.

The reverse fixture saw Dean Smith’s men inflict a humiliating 7-2 defeat on the champions, with Ollie Watkins scoring a first-half hat-trick.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa Latest Odds

However, bet365 make the Reds just 11/20 (1.55) to exact retribution on Villa and record their first win at the ground since December 16.

The west Midlands side have not completed the league double over Liverpool since the 1992-93 season and are out at 5/1 (6.0) to achieve that feat on Saturday.

None of the last seven top-flight meetings between these teams have finished in a draw and the online bookmaker offers 16/5 (4.20) that this one ends all square.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa Team News

Centre-back trio Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez are all out whilst Jordan Henderson is also on the sidelines along with Divock Origi and Caoimhin Kelleher.

Jack Grealish has endured a further injury setback to the problem which has already kept him out for over two months, meaning he and Wesley are the visitors’ only absentees.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa Preview

With just eight games left in the season there is very little room for error left for Liverpool, who are three points off the top-four after a run of only five wins in their last 16 Premier League matches.

The bulk of that poor form can be attributed to a dreadful series of results at Anfield, where the Reds have scored only once in their last seven league games, conceding 10 in the process.

Only one of those fixtures has seen more than three goals in the match and it could be another tight affair here, considering Villa have netted six times in their last eight and shipped only seven.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa Tips and Predictions

Under 2.5 goals is offered at 13/10 (2.30) at bet365 and offers plenty of value, with it paying out in five of the last six Premier League games each of these teams has contested.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>After suffering a major defensive blip against West Brom last time out, Al Hain-Cole expects Tuchel's men to return to solid form against the Eagles

Chelsea will be determined to bounce back from defeat when they travel to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace in Saturday’s Premier League clash.

Thomas Tuchel’s men were surprisingly beaten 5-2 at home to West Bromwich Albion in their last league game, their first defeat in 15 matches since he replaced Frank Lampard in the dugout.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Latest Odds

However, having pulled off an impressive 2-0 away win over Porto in Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final, they are clear 11/20 (1.55) favourites with bet365 to get their league campaign back on track with a victory here.

The Eagles have only lost one of their last six matches but are 6/1 (7.00) outsiders to pull off a first win over this opposition since 2017.

Three of the hosts’ last five fixtures have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 14/5 (3.80) on them earning a creditable point in this one.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Team News

Nathaniel Clyne, Nathan Ferguson, James Tomkins, James McArthur, and James McCarthy are all doubts, while Wayne Hennessey and Mamadou Sakho are injured and Michy Batshuayi ineligible to face his parent club.

Thiago Silva is ruled out due to suspension after last weekend’s red card against West Brom, although N’Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic are both available once again after being passed fit for a place on the bench against Porto.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Preview

Having conceded just two goals in the 14 previous matches under their new manager, the Blues’ 5-2 demolition at home to relegation strugglers West Brom came as a major shock.

However, having quickly returned to form with a controlled performance and eighth clean sheet in nine against Porto, they will back themselves to hold firm at the back once again on Saturday.

With just five goals to their name in eight matches and having only scored once in their last four on home turf, Roy Hodgson’s team certainly seems like the ideal opposition for defence looking to restore confidence.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions

In fact, odds of 11/8 (2.38) seem particularly generous on Chelsea winning to nil for their sixth match in eight and a fourth meeting in five with Palace.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The second La Liga Clasico of the season could have a huge impact on the title and we are backing another goal-filled encounter in the Spanish capital

Real Madrid welcome Barcelona to the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano on Saturday evening for what could be a season defining Clasico in La Liga.

Both teams have cut the gap on leaders Atletico, with the Catalans just a point behind Diego Simeone’s men while Los Blancos are three points off top spot and so victory on Saturday for either team would see them end the day at the top of the table.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Latest Odds

Zinedine Zidane’s side come into the game following one of their best performances of the season in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, easing past Liverpool 3-1.

Barca, meanwhile, struggled on Monday night to overcome relegation threatened Valladolid in La Liga, needing a 90th minute Ousmane Dembele strike to claim a 1-0 win.

Madrid are priced at 19/10 (2.90) with bet365 with Barca offered at 6/5 (2.20) and the draw at 14/5 (3.80).

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Team News

The current Spanish champions will be without both first-choice centre-backs with Sergio Ramos and Rafael Varane both missing whilst right-back Dani Carvajal is also likely to be still be sidelined, although Eden Hazard could be available.

Barca remain without Gerard Pique, Ansu Fati, Sergio Roberto and Philippe Coutinho

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Preview

The most recent meeting between these two fiercest of rivals came back in October when Real recorded a memorable 3-1 win at Camp Nou, making it three consecutive league Clasicos without a win for Barcelona – their longest barren streak in this fixture since 2013.

This match generally promises entertainment and Saturday’s fixture should live up to expectations, with Madrid scoring in 24 of their last 25 games and Barca netting 27 of their previous 28.

Furthermore, neither side have been keeping clean sheets with any real regularity, with the Catalans conceding in 11 of their last 16 competitive fixtures and Los Blancos managing just one shutout in their last seven games.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score has paid out in 15 of the last 20 league Clasicos and is available at 1/2 (1.50), but combining this selection with over 2.5 goals sees the odds rise to a much more healthy 4/5 (1.80).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Lionel Messi is the favourite to find the back of the net in this historic La Liga clash but our tipster has found better value in the hosts' forward

La Liga’s top scoring side Barcelona visit the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano on Saturday evening to face the division’s second-most prolific outfit Real Madrid in the second Clasico of the season.

Lionel Messi is leading the scoring charts in the Spanish top-flight with 24 strikes, yet Los Blancos’ Karim Benzema is in superb form and has netted in each of his last six league encounters.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Latest Goalscorer Odds

It is not a surprise to find that the two top scorers from each respective side are the shortest priced players to score on Saturday.

Messi is offered at 8/11 (1.73) with bet365 to score at anytime and the Argentine is the most prolific player in the history of this fixture, netting 26 times in 44 games against Real Madrid, although he has failed to score in each of the last six Clasicos.

Benzema, meanwhile, is priced at 6/5 (2.20) to net, although the Frenchman only has nine Clasico goals to his name with his last La Liga strike against the Catalans coming back in April 2016.

Elsewhere, Marco Asensio is enjoying the best scoring run of his career with goals in each of his last four matches in all competitions, including on Tuesday night in the Champions League against Liverpool.

The attacker can be backed at 9/4 (3.25) to find the back of the net while Vinicius Junior notched a brace against Jurgen Klopp’s men and can be backed at 7/1 (8.00) score first as he did in this fixture last season.

Barca had Ousmane Dembele to thank on Monday evening as the Frenchman scored a 90th minute winner at Camp Nou against Valladolid and the former Borussia Dortmund forward is priced at 7/4 (2.75) to score. 

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Goalscorer Tips and Predictions

Backing Benzema to score at any time looks like an interesting option especially given the absence of Sergio Ramos.

The Real Madrid captain is usually on penalty and free-kick duty but with him missing, Benzema will have even more chances to extend his scoring run to seven consecutive league matches. 

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 Hammers host the Foxes in a crucial Premier League fixture and our tipster is backing plenty of action at the London Stadium this weekend

A pivotal Premier League clash takes place on Sunday afternoon when Leicester City travel to the London Stadium to face West Ham.

The Foxes enter the weekend in third with the Hammers one place and four points below, but defeat for the hosts could see them drop to as low as seventh if other results do not go their way.

West Ham vs Leicester City Latest Odds

Only leaders Manchester City have won more Premier League games than Leicester this season and bet365 make the visitors 7/5 (2.40) to pick up their 18th victory of the term.

West Ham have been the surprise package of the 2020-21 campaign and are available at 2/1 (3.0) to close the gap on the Foxes to just a single point.

A draw would keep the race for the top four firmly wide open and that is priced at 23/10 (3.30).

West Ham vs Leicester City Team News

Angelo Ogbonna is still at least a week away from making his West Ham return, meaning he is ruled out of this one along with Declan Rice, Michail Antonio, Darren Randolph and Andriy Yarmolenko.

Caglar Soyuncu and Cengiz Under could both feature but this game comes too soon for Harvey Barnes, whilst James Justin and Wes Morgan are both long-term absentees.

West Ham vs Leicester City Preview

Leicester are only a few weeks away from banishing the bad memories of missing out on a Champions League spot last season, and victory in London would certainly go a long way to achieving that goal.

Away matches have actually been more fruitful than home fixtures for the Foxes this season and at the very least they should be amongst the goals, having scored more than once in nine of their 15 Premier League games on their travels.

Indeed, West Ham have struggled at the back in recent weeks, conceding 16 goals in their last 12 and keeping only three clean sheets in that time – albeit scoring 24 times during that span.

West Ham vs Leicester City Tips and Predictions

Over 2.5 goals pays out at a very attractive 10/11 (1.91) with bet365, having landed in five of each team’s respective last seven Premier League matches.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having found the net in his previous two appearances against Mourinho's men, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Portuguese playmaker to get on target again

Having helped themselves to six goals in the reverse encounter at Old Trafford, Tottenham will be hoping for another fruitful 90 minutes when Manchester United come to visit in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

On target twice in that 6-1 win and currently leading the league’s scoring charts with 19 goals, Harry Kane is an understandable 3/1 (4.00) favourite with bet365 to break the deadlock in north London.

Considering the England captain has 10 goals to his name in the last 10 matches for club and country, anytime odds of 5/6 (1.83) also look well worth considering here.

Son Heung-min also struck twice in the reverse encounter as he enjoyed a blistering start to the season that produced 11 goals in his first 13 league matches.

However, having scored just once in his last 15 league appearances, he probably holds less appeal at 11/8 (2.38) anytime.

Gareth Bale has only been given 58 minutes on the pitch in the three league matches since striking four times in three games but is a 12/5 (3.40) shot to offer a timely reminder of his capabilities with a high profile goal here.

Bruno Fernandes actually made it 1-0 to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team after less than two minutes in that 6-1 defeat, his second goal in two appearances against Spurs.

Having found the net in five of his last nine league games, the Portugal international looks a strong bet to open the scoring once again at 11/2 (6.50) – not to mention 7/4 (2.75) to strike anytime.

The talismanic attacker is not the Red Devils’ only in-form attacker though, with Marcus Rashford also looking promising at that same 7/4 (2.75) price considering he has been on the scoresheet in his last two matches in a row.

With Anthony Martial injured, Mason Greenwood seems to have earned himself a place in the starting line-up thanks to goals in two of his last three appearances and is another decent prospect at 7/4 (2.75) anytime.
