In the upcoming round of the Spanish La Liga, Real Madrid aim to solidify their lead in the standings. With 25 rounds played, Madrid are ahead of Girona by 6 points, and with each game, confidence in Ancelotti’s team winning the championship grows. Although they only managed a 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano in the last round, Los Blancos see the upcoming match against Sevilla as a great opportunity to get back to winning ways. At home, Vinicius Junior and Co have won 10 out of 12 matches and drawn two, scoring fewer than 2 goals only three times.
As for the opponent, Sevilla have yet to earn any points in any of their 4 away matches against teams from the La Liga top six. In their recent 5 face-offs across all competitions, Los Nervionenses have only once managed to secure points against the capital club – in May 2021, when they played to a 2-2 draw. In the other meetings, the hosts have dominated largely, making it highly improbable that we’ll witness a different outcome in this showdown.
Possible picks:
☑️ Real M Handicap (-1.5) – 1.83
☑️ Real M Over 2 – 1.58
☑️ Vinicius Jr. To Score At Any Time – 2.20
Milan and Atalanta, sides led by Samuel Chukwueze and Ademola Lookman, will face off in the central match of the Serie A round on Sunday. Both teams are in the Champions League zone, occupying third and fourth place in the standings. After a successful streak of three wins in a row, Milan stumbled in the last round with a 4-2 defeat in an away match against Monza. It’s worth noting that in 9 out of Milan’s last 10 matches, teams have scored three or more goals, so the upcoming clash promises to be a goal-scoring affair.
Matches involving Atalanta are also characterized by high scoring. Teams scored three or more goals in seven out of ten games involving the Bergamo side. Moreover, Gian Piero Gasperini’s band is currently in brilliant form – they have won 7 consecutive matches and remained unbeaten in 10 matches across all competitions. It’s unlikely that Milan will find it easy to return to the winning path against such a formidable opponent.
Possible picks:
☑️ Atalanta Draw No Bet – 2.13
☑️ Both Teams To Score – 1.63
☑️ Total Over 3 – 2.28
Arsenal’s championship ambitions will face a tough test on Saturday as they host Newcastle. Currently, Arteta’s team sits in third place in the league table, trailing leader Liverpool by 5 points with a game in hand. In 12 Premier League home matches, the Gunners have won 9 times and drawn twice, so few expect them to be hospitable in this encounter. Moreover, before their 0-1 Champions League defeat to Porto, Arsenal had won five games in a row, giving ample reason to anticipate a strong result for the home team on Saturday.
Despite three wins in their last five matches, Newcastle bear little resemblance to last season’s form. Currently, Eddie Howe’s team sits in eighth place in the league table, having won only 4 out of their last 11 games. However, it’s worth noting that the Magpies’ matches are rarely dull – in only two out of the mentioned 11 matches both teams scored fewer than three goals. We expect a goal-scoring match with Arsenal to win.
Possible picks:
☑️ Arsenal Handicap (-1) – 2.35
☑️ Both Teams To Score – 1.70
☑️ Total Over 3 – 1.75
In Sunday’s match against Stade Rennais, PSG will seek to avenge last year’s league home defeat at Parc des Princes with a score of 0-2. The hosts have a good chance to do so as they are currently in excellent form and top the Ligue 1 table. In 11 home matches this season, Mbappe and his teammates have won 8 times, with their only loss against Nice back in September. Currently, Luis Enrique’s band is in superb form, having won 10 out of 11 matches across all competitions.
It is noteworthy that despite being in 7th position in the league table, Stade Rennais are also in solid form – Martin Terrier and his teammates have won 8 out of their last 10 matches in all competitions. Moreover, they managed to defeat Marseille in a post-match penalty shootout in the French Cup. The only setback in this remarkable streak was a 3-0 away loss to Milan in the Europa League. There are grounds to believe that the visitors will pose a serious challenge to the league leaders.
Possible picks:
☑️ Stade Rennais Handicap (+1) – 2.12
☑️ Both Teams To Score – 1.74
☑️ Total Over 3 – 1.90
It seems that crisis has gripped Bayern Munich. Thomas Tuchel’s side has gone three matches without a win, trailing Bundesliga leaders Bayer 04 by a significant eight points. In the upcoming round, Munich will face RB Leipzig, who convincingly defeated them 3-0 in their last head-to-head match in the German Super Cup final. In their last five home matches, Bayern have managed to defeat Leipzig only once. Will Kane and his teammates be able to secure a victory against the Red Bulls in the upcoming clash?
RB Leipzig are also far from their best form. The visitors have lost 4 out of their last 7 matches in all competitions, managing to win only two of them. Marco Rose’s team is currently only in fifth place in the league table, and the fans’ concerns about the team’s qualification for the Champions League are justified. Before the match against Bayern, the Red Bulls only have head-to-head statistics in their favour, as they haven’t lost to Bayern since the summer of 2022.
Possible picks:
☑️ Bayern To Win – 1.66
☑️ Bayern Over 2 – 1.87
☑️ Total Over 3 – 1.62
