Wolves vs Tottenham Hotspur
Wolves sit in the middle of the table, however, they are only six points behind the top four. Nevertheless, lately, they haven’t enjoyed good form, as the hosts suffered three defeats in the last five rounds. Although Nuno Espirito Santo’s side celebrated against Arsenal and Chelsea, they lost to Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Burnley. Their current schedule has been pretty tough, and that trend continues with the match against another powerful opponent. The home side has been pretty good in the back, but Pedro Neto and the lads should have been more efficient as they scored only 14 times. Wolves need to pick up some points from this match since they will play away from home in the upcoming two rounds.
After sitting on the top of the table until recently, Tottenham Hotspur slipped down to the 6th spot after two consecutive defeats. First, they conceded a late goal away to Liverpool, although they deserved to win at least a point. It was their first defeat after 11 rounds in the Premier League that saw them dropping to 2nd place. The Spurs then suffered another loss against Leicester City last weekend, and Jose Mourinho’s side needs to get back on the winning track if they want to get back to the title race. Harry Kane and the lads celebrated just once in the last five rounds, but they could definitely have won more points. After four straight away victories, Tottenham’s winless streak when playing away from home extended to three games, and they will look forward to breaking it.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be a tight clash in which both sides have the chance to remain undefeated. Therefore, we wouldn’t be surprised if this game ends in a draw.
Goals Market Prediction
When these two teams face each other, football fans can see many goals. Although the hosts have been playing pretty tight so far in the season, we expect to see goals in both nets, as it was the case in their last five clashes.

Arsenal vs Chelsea
Arsenal continues to sink after losing to Everton last weekend, and now, they dropped to 15th place. The home fans couldn’t have dreamt a worse campaign, as their favorite team is just four points clear from the relegation zone. Making things worse, Mikel Arteta’s side picked up only two points in the last seven rounds. The hosts were kicked out of the EFL Cup as they lost to Manchester City 4:1 at Emirates Stadium. Despite scoring in the previous three games, Arsenal couldn’t avoid a defeat. They had a decent start to the campaign, but the latest displays show many weaknesses of the home side. Another tough challenge is ahead of them, as one of the fiercest rivals are coming in a very delicate moment for the Gunners.
On the other hand, Chelsea sits in 5th place, being just two points behind the second-placed Leicester City. After losing twice in a row against Everton and Wolves, respectively, Frank Lampard’s side managed to get back on the winning track by beating West Ham United last weekend. Masin Mount and the lads are the second most efficient team in the league. At the same time, their defensive work improved significantly after Edouard Mendy and Thiago Lilva found their place in the starting lineup. However, the Blues suffered two consecutive defeats at away grounds, and they want to stop that losing streak by capitalizing on their rivals’ appealing run at home. Chelsea had some extra time to prepare for this derby clash as they were not involved in the mid-week action.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Derbies are always tricky to predict, but in this case, we believe the visitors are favorites. They should meet the expectations and book a very important victory.
Goals Market Prediction
Head to head clashes between these two teams have been very exciting lately, and the crowd was able to enjoy a lot of goals. We believe nets won’t remain still in this one.

Leicester City vs Manchester United
Leicester fans have been on a real rollercoaster lately, as their team celebrated in three games while losing twice in the last five rounds. If a defeat against Everton was not too surprising, the one against Fulham at King Power Stadium certainly was. Brendan Rodgers’ side hasn’t been impressive at the home ground, as they won just three times in addition to four defeats. However, Jamie Vardy and the lads booked a vital victory away to Tottenham last weekend, which kept them in the 2nd spot. The hosts have been very good in the front, while their defense is one of the tightest in the league. They are four points behind Liverpool, and a victory would keep them in the race for a while.
Manchester United had a very slow start in the season, but their excellent run launched them right behind their upcoming rivals. Although they failed to secure a place in the Champions League eight finals, United fans still dream big as they are five points behind Liverpool, with one game in hand. After losing to Arsenal at Old Trafford, the Red Devils booked six victories and a draw against their local rivals Manchester City. They have been real comeback kings lately, as they were managing to pick up three points after trailing at some point in the game. Manchester United comfortably beat Leeds United last weekend after a goal-galore as the score on the board was 6:2. Scott McTominay and the lads also managed to get to the EFL Cup semis after celebrating at Goodison Park 2:0. The visitors have been perfect when playing away from home as they haven’t dropped a single point in six away games. Another victory from this one would see them getting closer to the top spot.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
A great battle is ahead of us, and we believe football fans should enjoy an exciting clash. Both sides are capable of winning, but since the hosts are insecure at home, and Manchester United is full of confidence, we believe they will get back home with another three points.
Goals Market Prediction
Although head to head matches between these two teams have been pretty tight lately, we don’t believe either side will keep the clean sheet in this one.

Lille vs PSG
Four victories from the last five rounds launched Lille to the top spot, being one point ahead of PSG. The hosts enjoy an excellent campaign, and they lost just once on the run. Christophe Galtier’s side is very disciplined in the back, while they do a very good job in the final third. Lille allowed only two points to their visitors this season and are the best hosts in the competition. They have been equally successful in the Europa League group stage, as Lille qualified for the knockout stage. Burak Yilmaz and the lads need to keep up in the same fashion, and we might see the most exciting title race in Ligue 1 in the past several years.
PSG hasn’t been consistent in the domestic championship lately as they booked just two victories in the last five rounds. They slipped to the 2nd spot, allowing Lyon and Marseille to enter the title race. A 2:0 win over Lorient got them back on the winning track, but PSG struggles against stronger sides in Ligue 1 as they lost to Marseille, Lyon, and Monaco this season. Thomas Tuchel faces injury troubles throughout the season, which will be the case in this one as well. The visitors cannot count on Neymar, Icardi, Danilo, Bernat, and a couple of players more. PSG secure their place in the Champions League eight-finals thanks to three wins in a row, and they want to remain in the race for all trophies this season.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Lille has been on a very good run lately and could capitalize on PSG’s inconsistencies. Since the visitors will miss some important players, the home side should be capable of avoiding a defeat in this one.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams have been involved in a lot of efficient games lately, and this one shouldn’t be much different. We believe both sides will find the back of the net.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich
Although few people believed they could be one of the title candidates, Bayer Leverkusen sits on the top of the table, being one point ahead of their upcoming rivals. The hosts are the only undefeated team in Bundesliga, and they failed to win just four times in 12 rounds played so far. Peter Bosz’s side plays very disciplined football, and the home side is on an excellent run. Lucas Alario and the lads missed the chance to win just once on the last eleven occasions in all competitions. The hosts can be satisfied with their Europa League campaign as well, as they secured a place in the knockout stage. Bayer Leverkusen is the tightest side in Bundesliga with only ten goals conceded. If they manage to keep up the pace, they can remain very competitive in the title race.
The visitors haven’t tasted a defeat since the end of September and in 18 consecutive games in all competitions, but it seems they need some rest after a very busy schedule. They celebrated just twice in the past five games, drawing in the other three. Interestingly, Hans Flick’s side managed to keep the clean sheet only once in the previous 12 games, and the away side needs to tighten up their defense. Bayern conceded ten goals in six away matches this season, however, their excellent attacking work compensates for their inconsistencies in the back. Robert Lewandowski and the lads secured their place in the Champions League eight-finals without much trouble. There are still many challenges ahead of the defending champions, and they need to be consistent to pick up all trophies again.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen scored four goals in each of their last three games, having conceded just once. Bayern has been struggling lately, and that’s why the hosts might extend their unbeatable streak.
Goals Market Prediction
Both sides have been very efficient lately, and their latest head to head clashes have been a joy to watch. We don’t think nets will remain intact in this one.

Sheffield United vs Manchester United
Sheffield United is the hottest candidate for relegation since they picked up just one point in the first 12 rounds. Chris Wilder’s side needs to start winning as soon as possible if they want to keep their place in the top flight. Although they are not the worst defensive side in the competition, David McGoldrick and the lads scored just five goals. The Blades are in an appealing streak of seven defeats in a row, and they netted only three times during that period. Luckily for the home side, the nearest safe spot is not so far away since Fulham is only eight points ahead of them. However, Sheffield United needs to break their winless run and so that they can get involved in the survival battle.
On the other hand, Manchester United enjoys a good streak in the Premier League as they failed to win just once in the past five rounds. That unbeatable run launched them to 9th place, having two games in hand and being eight points behind Liverpool. With the potential win from this clash, they would climb to the 5th spot and get just two points away from Tottenham. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side managed to snatch a draw against their local rivals City last weekend, in a goalless draw which disappointed many football fans. Although the Red Devils have trouble playing at Old Trafford, the visitors have been perfect at away grounds as they celebrated in all five outings. Manchester United can get very close to the top four if they pick up all three points from this clash, and they have a very good chance of doing so.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Manchester United is a strong favorite in this one, and they should win this match. We believe they are going to meet the expectations and get involved in the battle for the top four on the table.
Goals Market Prediction
Their head to head clashes at Bramall Lane have always been pretty efficient. This one shouldn’t be much different, and it should go over a 2.5 margin.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur
Liverpool was lucky to avoid the defeat against Fulham last weekend, as they needed a late penalty to secure a 1:1 draw. The hosts missed the chance to climb to the top spot and remained second with the same number of points as their upcoming rivals. Jurgen Klopp rested some players in the clash against Midtjylland in the final round of the Champions League group stage, as the Reds have already secured their place in the knockout round. However, Liverpool hasn’t been in a stable form lately as the home side booked just two victories on the last six occasions. Mohamed Salah and the lads have been perfect at Anfield this season, as they celebrated all six times in the Premier League. In the past two games at the home ground, they managed to keep the clean sheet while scoring seven times. The Reds are still having injury troubles, and they will need to cope with them for some time.
Tottenham still hasn’t lost in the Premier League after their defeat in the season-opener against Everton. Jose Mourinho’s side tops the table with a very solid attack and the tightest defense in the competition. Similar to their upcoming opponents, the Spurs drew last weekend away to Crystal Palace. That was their second straight draw when playing away from home, after taking a point against Chelsea in a goalless tie. Harry Kane and the lads finished their Europa League group stage campaign on the top spot, and they want to keep up in the same fashion in the Premier League as well. The Spurs managed to keep the clean sheet six times in their last eight fixtures, and in this one, they will probably be more focused on defending their net.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Tottenham will try to exploit Liverpool’s latest inconsistencies and remain undefeated in this clash. We believe they are capable of snatching a point, and this derby match could end in a draw.
Goals Market Prediction
Head to head clashes between these two sides haven’t been too efficient lately. Since the visitors are very tight in the back, this game could remain under a 2.5 margin.

PSG vs Lyon
PSG heads to this game after booking three victories in a row in all competitions. The hosts managed to remain two points clear from Lille and their upcoming rivals, while they also secured a place in the Champions League eight-finals. Thomas Tuchel’s side celebrated a vital victory at Old Trafford, although it seemed they might get back home defeated. Kylian Mbappe and the lads picked up all three points at Montpellier, while they were very confident in a 5:1 victory against Istanbul Basaksehir. The home side has been very efficient lately as they scored 11 times on the last three occasions. However, PSG didn’t manage to keep the clean sheet in the past four matches, and all of those four went over a 3.5 margin. They want to get back on the winning track when playing at Parc des Princes since Bordeaux interrupted their four-match winning streak.
Lyon had a very slow start into the season as the visitors booked just one victory in the first six rounds. However, Rudi Garcia’s side significantly improved their game and won six out of the last seven clashes. They celebrated three times in their previous four outings, and the away side hopes to remain undefeated in this one as well. Memphis Depay and the lads are one of the most productive sides in the competition, while they conceded 11 times so far. If Lyon manages to get all three points from this clash, they can potentially climb to the top spot. The visitors have a clean bill of health, and all players should be ready for this clash.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is the clash of two in-form teams, and we expect to see an exciting battle. However, PSG is considered a favorite in this game, and we believe they can deliver a win.
Goals Market Prediction
Lyon scored in their last nine games, while the home side’s defense hasn’t been so tight lately. Therefore, it’s likely that both teams will score in this one.

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid
The hosts have been on the verge of being eliminated from the Champions League, but they pulled a 2:0 victory against Borussia Monchengladbach that sent them to the eight-finals. Zinedine Zidane managed to keep his status intact, but another tough challenge is about to come. The defending champions are six points behind their upcoming rivals, having played one game more as well. Los Blancos have been pretty inconsistent throughout the entire season, whether we speak about La Liga or the Champions League. They managed to break their winless streak that lasted three games, in which they picked ou just a point. Sergio Ramos and the lads conceded a lot of goals this season, and they need to improve their defensive work before too late. Real Madrid already lost twice at the home ground, and those defeats came against the newly-promoted Cadiz and Alaves. Much work is ahead of them in order to get back in the title race.
On the other hand, Los Colchoneros have almost the perfect campaign in La Liga. They sit at the top of the table, being the only undefeated team in the competition. Diego Simeone’s side has a rock-solid defense that conceded only two goals so far. Atletico Madrid is one point ahead of Real Sociedad, and if they maintain the same level of performances, they are the top candidates for the title. Although having some problems in the UCL group stage, Joao Felix and the lads booked an important 2:0 victory in Salzburg that saw them qualify for the knockout round. The away side seems to be pretty stable, and they want to continue their winning streak at the expense of their fierce rivals.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Although Real Madrid improved in the last two games, they need to do a lot more to stabilize their form. The visitors should remain undefeated in this one and pick up at least a point.
Goals Market Prediction
Their recent head-to-head clashes have been very tight, and we saw more than one goal just once in the past four competitive matches. Since Atletico Madrid is very disciplined in the back, this game might also remain under a 2.5 margin.

Manchester United vs Manchester City
After an unsuccessful Champions League campaign and a 3:2 loss against RB Leipzig, which sent them to the Europa League, the home side heads to this game. Although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side topped the group after four rounds, they lost twice in a row in the continental competition, which cost them a place in the eight-finals. Indeed, the half-an-hour storming performances that helped them maintain the winning streak in the Premier League didn’t result in the UCL. It seemed that Bruno Fernandes and the lads could snatch a salvage point in the last ten minutes of the game, as they managed to get back into the game after trailing 3:0, but they needed one more goal. The Red Devils can now fully focus on the domestic campaign, as they tied four wins in a row. They propelled them to the 6th spot, being five points behind Tottenham and Liverpool, but having played one game less. Although they have a perfect away record, Man Utd celebrated just once at Old Trafford on five occasions. They need to start putting more confident displays at the home ground if they want to challenge the top spot.
The Citizens cannot be content with their campaign as they are one point behind their fierce rivals. Pep Guardiola’s side won their last two league games, though, and secured the top spot in their UCL group. Manchester City missed the chance to win just once in the continental competition, but they spilled a lot of points in the Premier League. After losing to Tottenham 2:0, the visitors managed to keep the clean sheet five times in a row in all competitions. Despite their very good defensive record, Kevin de Bruyne and the lads need to improve their finishing, as they are not so efficient as they used to be in the previous campaigns. This is an important game for the away side since Manchester city can get involved in the title race.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
The visitors haven’t played well in derbies this season, and United might take advantage of that. Although they come into this match after a disappointment, the hosts will be highly motivated to pick up some points from it.
Goals Market Prediction
Although City’s defense is very hard to crack lately, they managed to keep the clean sheet against United just once on the past nine occasions. We believe nets won’t remain intact in this one.

Wolfsburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt
Wolfsburg is one of two undefeated teams in the Bundesliga, and they currently sit in the 5th position. They are five points behind top-placed Bayern Munich and just one below the top four. Although Oliver Glasner’s side hasn’t been too efficient so far in the season, they are one of the tightest teams in the competition. It is hard to expect that the home side challenges the very top of the table, but they are one of the hottest candidates for censuring a place in continental cups for the next season. After two draws at the home ground, Wout Weghorst and the lads celebrated three times in a row, and they want to pick up where they left off. However, the toughest challenges are yet to come as Wolfsburg still didn’t play against any of the top four teams.
The visitors suffered just one defeat so far in the campaign, but they also booked only two wins. They are kings of draws, as Eintracht Frankfurt was involved in seven matches that ended without a winner. The away side managed to remain undefeated six out of the last seven rounds, but none of those games ended with Eintracht’s win. Adi Hutter’s side sits in the middle of the table, being five points behind their upcoming rivals. They have been decent in front of the oppositions’ goal, but Eintracht needs to tighten up its defense, as they conceded 17 times. Four of their five outings went over a 3.5 margin, and when they play away from home, football fans can enjoy efficient games. Unfortunately for the visitors, their top goalscorer Andre Silva might miss this match due to an injury.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Interestingly, six out of their last seven head-to-head clashes ended with an away victory. Eintracht Frankfurt should be capable enough to remain undefeated in this one, and we will likely see another draw.
Goals Market Prediction
Both sides have been productive in the final third lately, and they should keep up in the same fashion. Therefore, we believe nets won’t remain intact in this game.

Napoli vs Real Sociedad
Napoli has been in fine form lately, as they booked three wins and pulled out a draw in Alkmaar. The hosts tied two 4:0 victories in Serie A against Roma and Crotone, which launched them to the 3rd spot. Gennaro Gattuso’s side has been pretty efficient this season, and they are the second most productive team in the domestic championship. Their matches in the Europa League have been a bit tighter, but Napoli is two points ahead of their two main challengers, Real Sociedad and AZ Alkmaar. Lorenzo Insigne has been in excellent form lately, and he is expected to be a major threat to the opposition’s defense. Napoli will be motivated to book their first victory at the stadium named in honor of Diego Armando Maradona, who also led this club to glory.
Real Sociedad is one of the biggest overachievers in La Liga, as they sit in second place, being just a point behind Atletico Madrid. They haven’t lost eight times in a row in all competitions, and after four straight wins, they tied four draws. Imanol Alguacil’s side is the most productive team in the domestic championship, while their defense is the second-best with only five goals conceded. Real Sociedad still hasn’t tasted a defeat when playing at away grounds. The visitors missed the chance to win two times in La Liga, while they also picked up a point in Alkmaar. However, this is going to be their toughest challenge so far, especially since their best goalscorer Mikel Oyarzabal will miss this game due to an injury.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Napoli is a slight favorite in this one, and we believe they are going to meet the expectations. Therefore, this game should end in the home side’s victory.
Goals Market Prediction
Real Sociedad is very disciplined in the back, and it is very hard to crack them. We don’t expect to see too many goals, and this game might remain under a 2.5 margin.

Ajax vs Atalanta
After six straight victories, Ajax tied two defeats in a row, and that is not an encouraging moment for the hosts ahead to the most important match in this part of the season. They first lost at Anfield, while Twente booked a surprising win at Johan Cruijff Arena last weekend. Erik Ten Hag’s still tops the Eredivisie table, but they need to chase for a victory in this one to secure one of the top two spots in the group. A double triumph against Midtjylland brought them six points, while Ajax snatched the point in Bergamo after a 2:2 draw. They could have easily got back with a win, but they spilled a 2:0 lead. Dusan Tadic and the lads are very efficient this season, especially in the domestic championship. However, the hosts need to get back on the winning track if they want to book a ticket for the eight-finals.
Atalanta had more time to prepare for this clash since they didn’t play their Serie A match last weekend. The visitors are one point ahead of their next opponents, and a draw could see them progressing further in the competition. However, they also cannot be proud of their latest form since Atalanta has been pretty inconsistent lately. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side celebrated just twice on the past nine occasions, and interestingly, both victories came at the away grounds. Despite losing 5:0 against Liverpool at home, they managed to win all three points at Anfield just one round later. That’s how Atalanta is unpredictable. Luis Muriel and the lads are very productive in front of the oppositions’ goal this season, but they concede a lot as well. Last time, they were just one step away from the semi-finals, but can they get into the knockout stage again?
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
The stake in this clash is very high, as the winner will continue its Champions League campaign. We think Ajax is a bit closer to the victory, and they should be able to deliver it.
Goals Market Prediction
Atalanta won’t be focused just on defending its net and will search for the chance to score. Since both sides are very efficient in the final third, we believe that neither of the teams will be able to keep the clean sheet.

RB Leipzig vs Manchester United
The hosts put a very good display in Munich last weekend in the Bundesliga, as they snatched a point against Bayern. Although they had a lead twice, the home side will definitely be satisfied with a draw. Emil Forsberg and the lads have been very productive in front of the oppositions’ goal lately. RB Leipzig scored nine times on three occasions, but during the same period, conceded seven goals. Julian Nagelsman’s side is still in the battle for a place in the knockout stage, as they are level with PSG and Manchester United. However, they need to think only about the victory in this game since it is very unlikely that PSG can lose against Istanbul Basaksehir at Parc des Princes. The German side has the weakest head-to-head record in this triangle, and three points for them is the only outcome that can guarantee them a place in the top two.
Manchester United had another poor first-half display, as they trailed 1:0 to West Ham last weekend. However, they needed 30 minutes to turn around the result and book a 3:1 victory. That one was their fourth in a row in the Premier League and lifted them to the 5th spot. The Red Devils are now only five points behind the Spurs, with one game played less. However, they missed the chance to secure a place in the Champions League knockout stage last Wednesday, as they lost to PSG 3:1 at Old Trafford. Although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side had several excellent chances, they got punished. United’s crucial defeat occurred in Istanbul against Basaksehir, and now, they need to avoid the loss in order to remain in the top two.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
A great battle is ahead of us, and both sides will go for some points in this clash. We believe Manchester United is more experienced in games like this one, and they should pick up at least a point.
Goals Market Prediction
Both sides have been involved in efficient games lately. RB Leipzig will attack from the start, and the visitors will search for their chance to punish any home side’s mistake. Therefore, we don’t expect nets to remain intact at the end of this game.

Fiorentina vs Genoa
Fiorentina is one of the biggest underachievers this season, and they are only one spot ahead of the relegation zone. Cesare Prandelli’s side is only two points ahead of Torino, and they managed to pick up just a point from the last four rounds. That one came after the goalless draw against Parma. Gaetano Castrovilli and the lads have hard times finding the back of the oppositions’ net, as they netted only ten times so far. On the other hand, the hosts conceded 15 goals, and they need to do much better in the backline. Viola booked two wins at the home ground but also lost twice against mid-table teams. Fiorentina failed to score four times in a row, and they need to improve their game urgently if they want to start moving towards the middle of the table.
According to the first nine rounds, Genoa will struggle to remain in Serie A next season as well. The visitors are the second-worst team in the competition, and they are three points behind their upcoming rivals. Although they snatched a point against fierce rivals Sampdoria, the away side lost four times in a row, and they need to break that losing streak urgently. Goran Pandev and the lads need to improve in the final third as they scored just eight times, while the defense concedes twice per match on average. Genoa put past the keeper only once at away grounds, and they need to start winning some points away from home as well.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be a tight clash, but Fiorentina is a slight favorite in this one. We believe the hosts should be capable of winning all three points in this game.
Goals Market Prediction
The last three clashes between these two sides at Stadio Artemio Franchi ended in goalless draws. Genoa failed to score five times out of their previous seven trips to Firenze, and we think this game will remain under a 2.5 margin.

Lille vs Monaco
Lille has a very good Ligue 1 campaign as they sit in the 2nd place, being only two points behind PSG. However, they booked just one victory in the past five rounds, making them slip from the top spot. The hosts suffered only one defeat in the domestic campaign, as they lost to Brest one month ago. Burak Yilmaz and the lads have been pretty efficient this season, while their teammates from the backline are doing a great job. Along with PSG, Lille is the best defensive side in the competition. Christophe Galtier’s side conceded only two goals at home ground in six matches played so far and missed the chance to win twice. Thanks to a 2:1 victory over Sparta Prague on Thursday, Lille secured their place in the Europa League’s knockout stage. However, the home side needs to get back on the winning track in the domestic championship as well if they want to keep challenging the very top.
Monaco enjoys an excellent run as they booked four straight wins. That streak launched them to the 4th position, and now, they have the same number of points as their rivals. Although Niko Kovac’s side isn’t a very tight one, they are the second most efficient team in the competition. Definitely, the biggest victory came two rounds ago when Cesc Fabregas and the lads managed to beat PSG. They trailed 2:0 at half time, but Kevin Vollan’s brace and a late penalty brought them valuable three points. However, the visitors need to improve their away performances, as they booked two wins and three defeats at away grounds. Nevertheless, Monaco doesn’t have an extra effort in continental competitions this season, and they can focus only on the Ligue 1 campaign.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Lille is struggling in the domestic competition lately, while Monaco is on an excellent run. The visitors can remain undefeated in this one, and this game could end in a draw.
Goals Market Prediction
Both sides have been very productive this season, and we expect to see an attractive game. Both teams are capable of scoring, and we think the nets won’t remain intact in this one.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal
After the narrow 1:0 defeat in the hands of Everton in the season-opener, very few people believe Tottenham can be one of the title contenders. However, Jose Mourinho’s side tied nine games without suffering a defeat, and that run launched them to 1st place. The Spurs won four times in a row before a goalless draw against Chelsea last weekend. Harry Kane and the lads have been pretty convincing in front of the oppositions’ net, while their defense is the best in the league. Tottenham booked four straight victories at their ground, and they want to keep up where they left off against the fiercest rivals. The home side secured the place in the Europa League knockout stage thanks to a 3:3 draw in Linz against LASK on Thursday, and they can focus on one of the most important matches in this part of the campaign.
On the other hand, Arsenal is having another disappointing season. The fact that the Gunners sit on the 14th spot speaks enough, and although they are only four points behind the top five, their displays are pretty discouraging. After the narrow 1:0 victory at Old Trafford, Aston Villa trashed Mikel Arteta’s side at Emirates Stadium. Leeds United managed to resist at Elland Road, while Wolves were another team that took all three points at Arsenal’s ground. The perfect record in the Europa League is the only positive spot for the away fans, but still, their team didn’t have tough opponents in their group. Nicolas Pepe struggles to find his form, and he will be unavailable for this clash due to a suspension. Arsenal needs to start creating chances and converting them into goals if they want to challenge for the continental spots for the next season.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Tottenham is in a much better momentum, and the Spurs are considered favorites in this clash. We believe they are going to win this match and continue the title race.
Goals Market Prediction
Head to head clashes between these two sides have been pretty efficient lately, and just once in the past five matches, one of the sides managed to keep the clean sheet. Despite Arsenal’s problems in front of the oppositions’ goal, we believe the nets won’t remain intact in this one.

Sevilla vs Real Madrid
Sevilla had a bit lower start into the season, but three victories in a row launched them to the 5th spot on the table. They are just one point below their next opposition, but they also played one game less. Julen Lopetegui’s side hasn’t been too efficient so far, but they have one of the tightest defenses in the league. In four matches played at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, Sevilla suffered only one defeat, the one against Eibar, while celebrating in the other three games. Youssef El Nesyri scored several winners so far in the season, including the one against Huesca in the latest round. However, the hosts suffered a heavy 4:0 defeat against Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday. Although they had already secured the place in the knockout round, that kind of loss shouldn’t be acceptable. We’ll see if Sevilla can improve in this another tough challenge.
The defending champions are struggling lately, and a series of poor results brought them to 4th place. They are already seven points behind top-placed Real Sociedad and six behind Atletico Madrid, who is on a hot streak. Zinedine Zidane is under heavy pressure since his side celebrated only once on the last five occasions in all competitions. Alaves stunned them last weekend, but the real shock came on Tuesday after Real Madrid suffered another defeat against Shakhtar in the Champions League. They still have the opportunity to book the ticket to the eight-finals, but they need to beat Borussia Monchengladbach. In this one, Real Madrid won’t count on Eden Hazard, Sergio Ramos, Daniel Carvajal, and Federico Valverde, which will make things a bit harder for them.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be a very tight clash as both sides have equal chances of getting some points. Therefore, we won’t be surprised if this game ends in a draw.
Goals Market Prediction
Real Madrid can score against any side, but their defensive work is not so good this season. Their clashes at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan have been very efficient lately, and we expect to see goals in both nets.

Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig
Although they had a trip to Madrid to face Atletico with a combined squad in the Champions League, the hosts managed to avoid the defeat. Thanks to the late penalty, they returned home with a point, although they had already secured their place in the knockout round. Robert Lewandowski and several crucial players missed the game in Madrid and had more time to rest and prepare for the upcoming derby. Hans Flick’s side sits on the top of the Bundesliga table with a two-point advantage over their forthcoming rivals. Only Werder Bremen managed to resist at Allianz Arena in Bayern’s latest game at this stadium. The hosts are the most efficient team in the competition with 31 goals scored. The defending champions are looking forward to securing another victory, which can increase their advantage over the main contenders.
RB Leipzig had a successful mid-week trip to Turkey after picking up three points against Basaksehir in Istanbul. However, they needed a late winner scored by Alexander Sorloth, thanks to which the visitors kept their chances of advancing to the knockout round. Julian Nagelsman’s side had a 3:1 lead, but they almost spilled everything. The away side can be happy with its Bundesliga campaign, as RB Leipzig is only two points behind Bayern Munich. However, they need to improve their away performances since the visitors got back home with just one win from four outings. Although RB Leipzig conceded just three times when playing away from home, they managed to score only one goal more. If they want to keep challenging the top spot, they need to be more confident at away grounds.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Although this is the clash between two top-placed sides, Bayern Munich is a favorite, and we believe the hosts will meet the expectations. Therefore, this game should end in a home victory.
Goals Market Prediction
Interestingly, head to head clashes between these two teams haven’t been that efficient. Although the visitors have been pretty tight at away pitches this season, we believe this game will be a bit different. We think football fans should enjoy at least four goals in this clash.

Nimes vs Marseille
After a very good start of the campaign, a defeat against PSG saw Nimes slumping down the table. They recorded five losses in the last six rounds and slipped to the 16th spot. The hosts are now only three points ahead of the red line, and the relegation battle seems to be the reality for them. Jerome Arpinon’s side scored just twice in the last seven rounds, while their defensive work suffered a lot in that period. Renaud Ripart and the lads need to start converting their chances into goals before too late. Nimes plays particularly poorly at their ground, where they snatched only four points and conceded 15 goals in six games. The home side needs to find the winning formula as soon as possible in order to get away from the danger zone.
On the other hand, Marseille enjoys a four-game winning streak, which launched them to the 6th position. However, they are only four points behind the leaders PSG and have played two games less than their fierce rivals. The visitors have one of the tightest defenses in the competition, while they scored in each of their past seven games in Ligue 1. Florian Thauvin and the lads put the best away performances this season, as they missed the chance to get back home with a win just once. Lyon is the only team that didn’t lose against Marseille at home, as they snatched a 1:1 draw. However, Andre Villas-Boas’ side doesn’t enjoy their Champions League campaign, as they sit at the bottom of the group table with just three points. They managed to beat Olympiakos on Tuesday and keep the minimal chances of continuing their campaign in the Europa League next spring.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Despite having a mid-week effort in the Champions League, the visitors are considered favorites in this clash. We believe Marseille will meet the expectations and take advantage of the opponent’s poor form to get back home with another three points.
Goals Market Prediction
Head to head clashes between these two teams have been very efficient lately. On the last four occasions, neither side managed to keep the clean sheet, and those matches went over a 2.5 margin. We believe that trend will continue in this one as well.

Milan vs Celtic
Milan has been put on a test of playing without Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the first time this season, and they have successfully passed it. The hosts beat Fiorentina last weekend and remained on the top of Serie A. Stefano Pioli’s side is five points clear from Inter and Sassuolo. Along with Juventus, they are the only undefeated team in the domestic league. Their defense is the second-best in the Italian top division, while Rossoneri are one of the most productive teams. Although they survived the drama against Rio Ave in the Europa League qualifiers, they are on a good track for qualifying for the knockout stage. The hosts are one point behind Lille, while they have a one-point advantage over Sparta Prague. After two victories at the start of the continental campaign, Milan picked up just a point in two clashes against Lille. A potential win in this one could see them proceeding further in the competition.
Celtic is one of the biggest underachievers in the Europa League. With only one point won, they sit at the bottom of the group table, without any chance of qualifying to the next stage. The visitors celebrated just twice in the past ten games in all competitions. They are already 11 points behind Rangers in the Premiership, with two games less played. The culmination of a poor form came last weekend when Ross County eliminated them in the League Cup. The supporters demand urgent changes and want Neil Lennon to resign. Celtic have never been in such a crisis in the past decade, and we’ll see how they will handle it.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Milan is a strong favorite in this one, and we believe they are going to meet the expectations. Therefore, a home victory is a realistic outcome in this one.
Goals Market Prediction
The hosts have been pretty efficient lately, while Celtic has severe troubles in the back. We believe this match should go over a 2.5 margin.

Manchester United vs PSG
Manchester United fans cannot be satisfied with their team’s Premier League campaign, as they are currently 8th in the table. However, thanks to often hiccups of their rivals, the Red Devils are only five points behind Tottenham Hotspur, having played one game less. In the mid-week, Bruno Fernandes and the lads are a completely different team, and in a very tough group, they top the table. After a poor start to the Premier League season, nobody expected that Man Utd could win in Paris – again. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side is three points ahead of their upcoming rivals and RB Leipzig, whom they trashed 5:0 at Old Trafford. If United haven’t lost away to Basaksehir – thanks to terrible defensive positioning – they wouldn’t worry about the place in the eight-finals. However, Manchester United needs a point from this one at the home ground to secure a place in the top two. Despite not so confident displays, the hosts tied four victories in a row, and the latest one came against Southampton last weekend. The Red Devils were 2:0 down at half time but managed to score a winner in the stoppage time. That one might boost their confidence ahead to this crucial game.
On the other hand, PSG has been in a variable form lately, as the visitors booked only two wins in the past five games. They lost to RB Leipzig 2:1 in Germany and suffered a surprising 3:2 defeat in Monaco, although they were 2:0 ahead. Last weekend, Thomas Tuhel’s side earned just a point against Bordeaux at Parc des Princes. Only six points in the current Champions League campaign cannot satisfy the last season’s finalists, and this is a must-win game for the visitors. Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are back in the squad, and the French champions will heavily rely on them in this clash. Nevertheless, other players can pose a real threat to the hosts, although Marquinhos, Julian Draxler, and Juan Bernat won’t be able to help their teammates.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be an exciting clash and a very unpredictable one. Looking into each team’s strengths, PSG has more individual quality, but they don’t perform constantly this year. Man Utd can put masterclass display and yet lose to the bottom-half Premier League teams at Old Trafford. Nevertheless, we believe the hosts won’t suffer a defeat in this one.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams have trouble keeping their nets intact lately. Their last two matches were pretty efficient ones, and we think both teams will score at least once in the game.

Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich
Although Atletico Madrid already sits in 2nd place, they are only two points clear from Lokomotiv Moscow. The Spanish side has boked just one victory so far in the competition, the one in the second round after being 2:1 down to Salzburg. Diego Simeone’s side has troubles in finding the back of the oppositions’ net in this competition, as they scored only four times. In the opening match of the Champions League campaign, they lost to Bayern Munich 4:0. However, Joao Felix and the lads haven’t lost eight times in a row in all competitions, and they want to extend that unbeatable streak. Jan Oblak managed to keep the clean sheet four times in a row, but he’s going to have a tough challenge in this one. Diego Costa, Luis Suarez, and Lucas Torreira are going to be sidelined for this clash.
Bayern Munich travels to Madrid without any pressure, as they have already secured their place in the eight-finals. With four wins in the current Champions League campaign, they tied 15 consecutive victories in this competition. The defending champions missed the chance to win only once in the last 13 matches, although they conceded seven times in a row. Robert Lewandowski and the lads are still lethal in front of the oppositions’ goal, as they netted 15 times in this competition, in addition to 31 goals in the Bundesliga. Several players will not be at Hans Flick’s disposal for this clash, including Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, Javi Martinez, Corentin Tolisso, and probably Lucas Hernandez.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Atletico Madrid needs a victory in this clash, but Bayern Munich will do everything to keep their unbeatable run going, despite several setbacks with injured players. We won’t be surprised if this game ends in a draw.
Goals Market Prediction
Although the hosts haven’t conceded in the last four games, Bayern Munich is capable of scoring against any team. Also, the visitors didn’t manage to keep their net intact in the past seven matches, so we think both teams will score in this one.

Leicester City vs Fulham
The home side enjoys a pretty good start to the campaign as they sit in 4th place at the table. Brendan Rodgers’ side had some excellent displays, and the one against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium is certainly a memorable one. However, after that one, the Foxes lost twice in a row against West Ham United and Aston Villa. Their 3:0 victory against Zorya in the Europa League started the six-match winning streak for the hosts, and during that period, Leicester City conceded only twice. However, Jamie Vardy and the lads suffered a heavy 3:0 defeat against Liverpool last weekend, although their rivals had severe troubles with injured players. Nevertheless, Leicester is only three points behind the Reds, and a potential victory in this one could see them leveled-up with the defending champions.
On the other hand, Fulham earned the promotion last season in the Championship, but it seems that they won’t remain too long in the top flight of the English football pyramid. They are currently the 19th-placed side in the league, with only four points won from nine rounds. The Cottagers managed to beat WBA, their direct rival in the relegation battle at the beginning of the month, but they tied two defeats in a row. Scott Parker’s side has trouble finding the back of the oppositions’ net, and Fulham is one of the most inefficient teams in the competition. Aleksandar Mitrovic and the lads managed to remain undefeated at away grounds just once, in a 1:1 draw against Sheffield United. However, they are not too far from the safe zone, as WBA is only two points ahead of them.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Leicester City is a strong favorite in this one, and despite their poor performance against Liverpool, we believe they are going to meet the expectations. The home victory should be a realistic outcome of this clash.
Goals Market Prediction
Head to head clashes between these two sides have been very efficient lately. Both teams were able to score in their last six games, while five of them in that period went over a 2.5 margin. We think the tradition will be continued in this one as well.

Everton vs Manchester City
Thanks to four victories in a row, Everton advanced to the 2nd spot, right behind their fiercest rivals, Liverpool. They are two points below the Reds, but Liverpool has one game in hand. Although the schedule was pretty tough for the Toffees lately, they have been perfect so far. Their streak started with a victory over Chelsea and continued on the Leicester City’s, Arsenal’s, and ultimately, Sheffield United’s expense. Carlo Ancelotti’s side has been pretty good in the final third, while their defensive work is among the best ones in the league. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is going to be the main threat for the opponents once again. He has been on fire so far, netting the ball 11 times on 15 occasions. However, Richarlison will be sidelined for this match due to an injury, and it is going to be a major blow for the hosts.
Manchester City has tied ten games without suffering a defeat in all competitions, and they are currently five points behind Liverpool. After a slow start, Pep Guardiola’s side has improved its performances, and they got back to the title race. Although Sergi Aguero and the lads haven’t been as efficient as in the previous season, their defense is the tightest in the competition. The visitors scored just once in the last three away clashes, and that goal was enough for getting all three points against Southampton. On the other hand, the citizens conceded only once in the past five Premier League rounds, when WBA snatched a point at Etihad Stadium. They need a victory from this one to continue the chase for the top spot.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Although the visitors are considered as favorites in this clash, Everton shouldn’t be underestimated. The hosts have the chance to remain undefeated, and if they eventually lose, that one should be a narrow defeat.
Goals Market Prediction
Head to head matches between these two sides have been pretty exciting lately, and one of the teams managed to keep the clean sheet just once in the past six clashes. The nets shouldn’t remain still in this one.
