class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>In high spirits after beating Chelsea, Al Hain-Cole is backing Guardiola's men to prove too strong for Les Parisiens at the Parc des Princes

Paris Saint-Germain will be out for revenge when they welcome Manchester City to the Parc des Princes for Tuesday’s Champions League game.

Les Parisiens suffered a semi-final defeat against this opposition last season, losing 2-1 at home before going down 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

PSG vs Manchester City latest odds

Having won eight and lost none of their last nine matches this season, PSG are priced at 2/1 (3.00) with bet365 to get their own back by coming out on top here.

Pep Guardiola’s men have won 12 and lost just one of their last 14 Champions League fixtures and Man City are 13/10 (2.30) favourites to claim all three points in this one.

The hosts were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Club Brugge in their opening Group A match, and you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them being forced to settle for a single point once again.

PSG vs Manchester City team news

Lionel Messi and Marco Verratti should be back in contention following injury, although Sergio Ramos remains sidelined and Angel Di Maria remains suspended for the red card he picked up against this opposition last season.

Ilkay Gundogan and Oleksandr Zinchenko are both fitness doubts, although Zack Steffen, Aymeric Laporte, John Stones and Rodri are all available again after returning to the squad that overcame Chelsea on Saturday.

PSG vs Manchester City preview

This clash is the second in a run of three huge away games for City over the space of a week, having kicked off with an impressive 1-0 win at Chelsea on Saturday and with a trip to Liverpool coming up this weekend.

In high spirits after that win over Thomas Tuchel’s European champions, they will be confident of emerging victorious against an opponent they outclassed in last season’s semi-finals.

With five clean sheets to their name in their last seven games, they will certainly back themselves to keep at arm’s length an opponent that struggled for cutting edge against Club Brugge and has only won one of their last six Champions League fixtures.

PSG vs Manchester City tips & predictions

In fact, City look like decent value at 13/10 (2.30) to come out on top against an out-of-sorts PSG for the fourth meeting in a row.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Bianconeri missing some key players in attack, Al Hain-Cole is backing Tuchel's men to claim an impressive Champions League victory in Turin

Juventus and Chelsea will be aiming to take the upper hand in Group H when they come face-to-face in Turin for Wednesday’s Champions League clash.

Both sides are tied on three points after the first group game, with Massimiliano Allegri’s men ahead on goal difference following their 3-0 win over Malmo.

Juventus vs Chelsea latest odds

Having won seven of their last eight Champions League matches on home turf, Juventus are available at 31/10 (4.10) with bet365 to move three points clear at the top by coming out on top.

Thomas Tuchel’s reigning champions kicked their title defence off with a narrow 1-0 win over Zenit St Petersburg and Chelsea are 9/10 (1.90) favourites to build on that with a big win in Italy.

Two of the last three meetings between this duo have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them cancelling each other out on this occasion.

Juventus vs Chelsea team news

Alvaro Morata came off injured in Sunday’s win over Sampdoria and will miss out on facing his former club, while Paulo Dybala, Kaio Jorge and Arthur are also definitely ruled out.

Reece James, Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic are missing due to injury, while N’Golo Kante has been ruled out after testing positive for coronavirus.

Juventus vs Chelsea preview

Dybala’s absence is a major blow for the Bianconeri, who are still finding their feet under their returning manager following the disappointing Andrea Pirlo regime.

With Morata also unavailable, they will be denied the services of their two top scorers for a game against a Blues team that have conceded just four goals in the last 14 matches in the Champions League.

Having won just one of their three matches in their own back yard this season, it is certainly hard to see them collecting maximum points against such accomplished opposition.

Juventus vs Chelsea tips & predictions

In fact, those 9/10 (1.90) odds on Chelsea winning actually seem fairly generous on a solid Blues side that have won six and lost none of their last seven Champions League away games proving too strong for a Juventus side missing some key players in attack.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Premier League side have recent experience of the team from the east of Spain and it could be another tight encounter between them at Old Trafford

Manchester United welcome Villarreal to Old Trafford on matchday two of the Champions League with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side looking for revenge against the side from La Liga.

Unai Emery’s men triumphed on penalties when the two teams met in the final of the Europa League in May and have never been beaten by the Red Devils.

Manchester United vs Villarreal latest odds

All five competitive fixtures between these sides have ended in draws after 90 minutes and another stalemate is offered at 7/2 (3.50) by bet365.

Man Utd are clear favourites to claim three points, offered at just 9/20 (1.45) while Villarreal are priced at 11/2 (6.50) to triumph in Manchester.

Manchester United vs Villarreal team news 

The hosts have problems in defence with Aaron Wan-Bissaka suspended, Harry Maguire out due to injury and Luke Shaw doubtful to start, while forward Marcus Rashford remains absent with a shoulder problem.

Villarreal, meanwhile, are sweating on the fitness of their top scorer from last year Gerard Moreno, with the Spain international striker having missed the last two games with a muscle injury.

Paco Alcacer is expected to start in his place, while winger Samu Chukweze is also missing. 

Manchester United vs Villarreal preview

Villarreal head to the north west of England having had plenty of recent experience against Premier League opposition.

Their Europa League final success over United came after a semi-final victory over Arsenal and set up an August meeting in the UEFA Super Cup with Chelsea which they lost on penalties.

They may only have finished seventh in La Liga last season, and come from a town with a population inferior to the capacity of Old Trafford, but Villarreal can certainly hold their own with England’s best clubs.

This season Unai Emery’s men are unbeaten in 90 minutes, drawing seven of their eight competitive games and backing them to avoid defeat once more against a United side with some important injury absentees should be of interest.

Manchester United vs Villarreal tips & Predictions

Backing a draw at 7/2 (3.50) should be an appealing option, while backing Villarreal with a +1.25 Asian handicap at 7/10 (1.70) is also an attractive option.

This bet provides a full win if the visitors avoid defeat and a half win if they lose by a one goal margin.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having failed to win on matchday one, both sides will be going for the win in the Portuguese capital, meaning there should be goals at both ends

Barcelona travel to the Estadio da Luz to face Benfica on matchday two of the Champions League with Ronald Koeman’s side already facing a crucial game in Group E of the competition.

The Blaugrana were comfortably beaten 3-0 by Bayern Munich in their opening match of the tournament and another defeat against the in-form Portuguese side would leave Barca in a difficult position.

Benfica vs Barcelona latest odds

Jorge Jesus’ side were held to a 0-0 draw away to Dynamo Kyiv on matchday one but domestically the Lisbon outfit are flying, having won their opening seven league games of the season to sit four points clear at the top of the Primeira Liga.

A home win for Benfica is priced at 9/5 (2.80) with bet365 while Barcelona can be backed at 6/4 (2.50) and the draw is offered at 5/2 (3.50).

Benfica vs Barcelona team news

The Blaugrana were boosted by the return of Ansu Fati at the weekend, with the teenager marking his return from nearly 11 months out injured by coming off the bench to score against Levante.

Ansu’s return is being carefully managed and if he features at all on Wednesday evening it will be as a substitute once more.

Barca remain without Ousmane Dembele, Martin Braithwaite and Sergio Aguero, while Jordi Alba is likely to miss out as well, although Pedri could return in midfield. The hosts are missing injured forward Haris Seferovic. 

Benfica vs Barcelona preview

Benfica come into the game full of confidence and with plenty of expectation having begun the season in impressive fashion.

Jorge Jesus has amassed a squad with plenty of European experience and they know their home form will be key to getting out of an extremely tough group.

With Bayern Munich looking the strongest outfit in Group E by some distance, it could be a straight battle between Benfica and Barca for second place, and even at this early stage, Wednesday’s match feels vital.

Barcelona for their part saw their spirits lifted by a much-needed 3-0 victory over Levante on Sunday and they head to the Portuguese capital with some pressure temporarily eased, following the euphoria surrounding Ansu Fati’s return.

With both teams knowing how important a win could be, backing a game with goals at both ends makes sense. 

Benfica vs Barcelona tips & predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at evens (2.00) and looks like an appealing option.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having started the season in impressive fashion, Al Hain-Cole expects the Hammers to prove far too strong for Kuhbauer's struggling team

West Ham will be looking to make it six points from six when they welcome Rapid Vienna to the London Stadium for Thursday’s Europa League clash.

The Hammers enjoyed an impressive return to European football in their opening Group H clash, running out 2-0 winners away to Dinamo Zagreb.

West Ham vs Rapid Vienna latest odds

Having lost just one out of eight matches in all competitions so far this season, West Ham are 1/4 (1.25) favourites with bet365 to maintain their strong form by coming out on top here.

Dietmar Kuhbauer’s Rapid Vienna have lost 10 of their last 14 away games in this competition and are clear 10/1 (11.0) outsiders to pull off a shock victory in this one, or priced at 5/1 (6.0) to even earn a point.

West Ham vs Rapid Vienna team news

Ryan Fredericks is the only absentee for the hosts, having suffered a recurrence of his groin injury in last week’s 1-0 Carabao Cup win over Manchester United.

Christopher Dibon, Richard Strebinger, Oliver Strunz and Lion Schuster are all absent through injury for the visitors.

West Ham vs Rapid Vienna preview

Having fielded an almost full-strength side for the victorious trip to Zagreb, there is no doubt that David Moyes is taking this competition extremely seriously after leading the team back into Europe for the first time in five years.

With an expectant home crowd behind them, his team will be eager to build on a promising start to the season that sees them come into this clash on the back of three wins in the last four games.

That should not prove too difficult considering Rapid’s recent record on the road in this competition, as well as their failure to win any of the last six fixtures in normal time.

Indeed, the Austrian champions have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions and are currently second to bottom in their domestic league after nine matches.

West Ham vs Rapid Vienna tips & predictions

All in all, odds of 8/11 (1.73) actually seem rather generous on a confident West Ham team winning by at least two clear goals against an out-of-sorts Rapid Vienna on Thursday.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Bundesliga side head to Scotland in strong scoring form and the visitors should be able to find the back of the net at least twice on Thursday

Celtic welcome Bayer Leverkusen to Glasgow on Thursday evening in matchday two of the Europa League with Ange Postecoglu’s side looking for their first win in Group G.

The Scottish side were beaten 4-3 at Real Betis in their opening game and face one of the most in-form sides in the Bundesliga.

Celtic vs Bayer Leverkusen latest odds

Gerardo Seoane’s men have won five of their last six matches in the German top flight and recorded a 2-1 victory against Ferencvaros in their first European game of the season.

Leverkusen are offered at 20/21 (1.98) to claim another success with bet365, while Celtic can be backed at 11/4 (3.75) and the draw is available at 13/5 (3.60) . 

Celtic vs Bayer Leverkusen team news

The Bhoys are missing a number of key players with Kyogo Furuhashi, Callum McGregor, Giorgos Giakoumakis and James Forrest all sidelined for the hosts through injury.

The visitors also have members of the squad out, with Julian Baumgartlinger, Exequiel Palacios, Edmund Tapsoba and Timothy Fosu-Mensah all long-term injury absentees.

Celtic vs Bayer Leverkusen preview

Leverkusen have started the season in impressive fashion and their potency in the final third has been eye-catching.

The side from North Rhine-Westphalia have played eight matches in all competitions so far this term, scoring at least twice in six of those matches.

Leverkusen’s goal difference of +9 after six matches in the Bundesliga is the second best in the competition after Bayern Munich, with only the champions and Borussia Dortmund scoring more goals. 

The visitors will feel they have more than enough firepower to get among the goals against a Celtic side who conceded four times to Real Betis and kept just two clean sheets in their last seven fixtures. 

Celtic vs Bayer Leverkusen tips & predictions

The price of 20/21 (1.98) for an away win should draw plenty of interest, while backing Leverkusen to score over 1.5 goals at 8/11 (1.73) looks like a tempting option.

The price of 13/8 (2.62) meanwhile for the German side to score in both halves could also be a shrewd way of investing in them to get among the goals on Thursday evening.

Tottenham vs Mura: Predictions, odds & betting tips

December 30, 2021 | News | No Comments

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Fired up after the defeat in the north London derby, Al Hain-Cole is backing Spurs to take out their frustrations on Simundza’s modest visitors

Tottenham will be desperate for a morale-boosting victory when they welcome Mura to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Thursday’s Europa Conference League clash.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are at a low ebb after Sunday’s miserable 3-1 north London derby defeat against Arsenal, their third consecutive defeat in the Premier League.

Tottenham vs Mura latest odds

However, Spurs are overwhelming 1/9 (1.11) favourites with bet365 to start putting that result behind them by coming out on top against their Slovenian visitors.

Mura were beaten 2-0 by Vitesse in their first group game in European competition and are 20/1 (21.0) outsiders to cause a massive upset with a victory in London.

The hosts played out a 2-2 draw with Rennes in their opening group game, and you can get odds of 17/2 (9.50) on them being held to another stalemate in this one.

Tottenham vs Mura team news

Steven Bergwijn remains sidelined with the ankle injury he picked up in Rennes, while Ryan Sessegnon is also doubtful due to a hamstring strain.

Matic Marusko is likely to return to the centre of the visiting defence, having missed the opener against Vitesse due to suspension.

Tottenham vs Mura preview

While the home supporters would usually find it difficult to get too worked up about this competition, they will be demanding a reaction following their team’s largely abject display at the Emirates Stadium.

With Harry Kane yet to score in the league and looking desperately short of confidence, Nuno is likely to line up with the England captain as the spearhead of a fairly strong team in an attempt to play his way into form.

Having scored twice in Spurs’ 3-0 play-off victory over Pacos Ferreira in the last European home game, Kane and his fellow team-mates will surely prove far too strong for a team that only reached the Slovenian top flight three years ago.

Indeed, Ante Simundza’s side have only ever won three games in continental competition and have scored three goals and conceded 12 in their six most recent European fixtures – losing each of the last three.

Tottenham vs Mura predictions

All in all, odds of 10/11 (1.91) look like solid value on Tottenham winning by at least three clear goals against their modest opponents.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Al Hain-Cole has put together a four-fold accumulator from across this weekend's Premier League games, with the odds adding up to 15/2

Manchester United, Leeds and Newcastle all feature in Goal’s four-fold accumulator featuring bets from across the Premier League weekend.

Manchester United vs Everton – Man Utd to win at 9/20 (1.45) with bet365

Boosted by Cristiano Ronaldo’s late Champions League winner against Villarreal, Manchester United will be confident of victory over an Everton team they have lost against just once in the last 14 encounters.

With the Toffees missing a number of key first-team players due to injury, odds of 9/20 (1.45) seem solid on them returning empty-handed from a ground where they have picked up just three points from the last possible 21.

Burnley vs Norwich – Burnley to win at 17/20 (1.85) with bet365

After a morale-boosting 4-1 Carabao Cup win over Rochdale and impressive 2-2 away draw at Leicester, Burnley will be looking forward to taking on a Norwich team that have lost each of their last 16 top-flight games.

Sean Dyche’s men did the double over the Canaries during their previous Premier League campaign and look well worth 17/20 (1.85) to build on recent performances by securing a first win of the league season.

Leeds vs Watford – Over 2.5 goals at 4/6 (1.67) with bet365

Only rock-bottom Norwich have conceded more times than Leeds, who are producing just shy of three goals per match in their league fixtures this season.

With Watford yet to keep a clean sheet since promotion, odds of 4/6 (1.67) are well worth backing on over 2.5 goals being scored for their seventh successive league game against Marcelo Bielsa’s team.

Wolves vs Newcastle United – Under 2.5 goals at 10/11 (1.91) with bet365

With just eight goals scored in total in their six league games so far, Wolves are the Premier League’s least productive team in terms of goalmouth action this season.

Considering eight of Wolves’ last nine meetings with Newcastle have produced under 2.5 goals, odds of 10/11 (1.91) seem too good to pass up on no more than two being scored for their seventh successive league fixture this season.

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

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>United have been in poor defensive form in front of their own fans and, despite the visitors missing some key players, goals at both ends look likely

Manchester United welcome Everton to Old Trafford on Saturday as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men look to get back to winning ways in the Premier League.

The Red Devils suffered their first league defeat of the season last weekend at the hands of Aston Villa and face an Everton side who have won three of their last four matches in the English top flight.

Manchester United vs Everton latest odds

Three of the last four meetings between these sides have ended as draws with last season’s clash at Old Trafford producing a thrilling 3-3 stalemate.

Another draw can be backed at 10/3 (4.33) with bet365, while Everton are offered at 13/2 (7.50) to record their first win away against  Manchester United since 2013.

The hosts remain clear favourites to claim three points at 9/20 (1.45) . 

Manchester United vs Everton team news

The 20-time champions of England are without injured trio Marcus Rashford, Harry Magurie and Amad Diallo who will all be hoping to return after the international break.

Luke Shaw, however, could be fit enough to feature having missed the midweek Champions League win over Villarreal.

Everton for their part are without injured forward duo Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, while Seamus Coleman, Fabian Delph and Andre Gomes are also sidelined, and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is rated as 50/50 with a shoulder problem.

Manchester United vs Everton preview

Last weekend’s defeat against Aston Villa not only brought United their first league loss of the season, it saw them fail to score at Old Trafford in a Premier League encounter for the first time since December 2020.

In general, Solskjaer’s side can usually be relied upon to find the back of the net in front of their own fans, yet keeping clean sheets has proved more problematic.

The Red Devils have conceded in each of their last 10 home matches in all competitions, while Everton have been in solid scoring form this term.

Only three teams have scored more than the Toffees’ total of 12 league goals this term and backing the visitors to contribute to a game with goals at both ends should appeal.

The visitors do have important attacking absentees in Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin, yet Demarai Gray and Abdoulaye Doucoure have chipped in with goals from midfield and backing Everton to score should still be of interest. 

Manchester United vs Everton tips & predictions

Both teams to score is offered at 19/20 (1.95) and looks a healthy price given United’s home defensive record.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The European champions are not used to losing games and they are clear favourites against a side with a poor record on the road in the Premier League

Chelsea face Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League with the side from west London aiming to bounce back from two defeats in the last week.

The Blues went down 1-0 to Manchester City last weekend before being beaten by the same scoreline by Juventus on Wednesday to suffer two consecutive losses for only the second time under Thomas Tuchel. 

Chelsea vs Southampton latest odds

The last time Chelsea lost back-to-back Premier League games was in December 2020 and the hosts are clear favourites priced at 4/11 (1.36) with bet365.

Southampton, meanwhile, head to the capital in search of their first league win of the campaign although Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side have already earned creditable draws against both Manchester City and Manchester United this term.

Another draw is offered at 15/4 (4.75) with an away win available at 8/1 (9.00).

Chelsea vs Southampton team news

The European champions are without N’Golo Kante following his positive test for coronavirus.

Both Reece James and Mason Mount missed the midweek defeat in Turin and, while the former is still out, the latter is in the squad. Christian Pulisic is likely to return from his ankle injury after the international break.

The visitors are without long-term injury absentee Jack Stephens, while Armando Broja is ineligible to face his parent club.

Chelsea vs Southampton preview

The Saints visit Stamford Bridge trying to improve their extremely poor away record which has seen them win just one of their last 16 league matches on the road.

That solitary victory came back in March against a poor Sheffield United side that subsequently ended the season bottom of the table and, in 2021, Southampton have picked up five points from a possible 42 away from St Mary’s.

Chelsea for their part have not been as strong at home as they would have liked, winning five of their last 10 league matches at Stamford Bridge.

Against teams from the lower reaches of the table, however, the Blues have been able to record wins and, with Southampton’s away record far from impressive, backing the hosts to bounce back with a victory makes sense. 

Chelsea vs Southampton tips & predictions

Seven of Chelsea’s last eight home league victories have come with a clean sheet and backing them to claim another win to nil at 11/10 (2.10) should appeal.
