10 Matches To Bet On And Value Bets

It’s that time of the week again when we run through a selection of the most exciting matches taking place this weekend and offer our best bets and value picks.

Tottenham v Leeds (Saturday)

Tottenham desperately needs a return to form and get back to winning ways before the Premier League goes on a mid-season break due to the World Cup. They’ve lost three of their last four league encounters, which doesn’t bode well against a Leeds team who have shown plenty of grit in the past couple of weeks, beating Liverpool at Anfield, and then going on to win against Bournemouth, coming from two goals down.

Suggested bet: Both teams to score
Value bet: Leeds to score first

Liverpool v Southampton (Saturday)

Liverpool hoped to have turned the corner after beating Tottenham last weekend, winning for the first time away from home in the league. That was despite a host of injuries to key players, especially in attack. Southampton named Nathan Jones, formerly of Luton Town, as their new coach this week, and his first taste of Premier League action is a daunting trip to Anfield.

Suggested bet: Liverpool to win
Value bet: Liverpool to win both halves

Preston v Millwall (Saturday)

Preston seems to be edging closer to the promotion play-off spots after claiming their third successive victory last time out. They’re building momentum and the break looks like it’s coming at the worst possible time. Millwall are winless in three league ties and have won just one of their nine away trips this term.

Suggested bet: Preston to win or draw
Value bet: Preston to win

Coventry v QPR (Saturday)

Queens Park Rangers have been dropping the ball and have struggled for consistency of late, enduring a four-game winless run, losing three times in that period. Coventry, on the other hand, have been one of the Championship’s most in-form teams and could leapfrog QPR if they were to win their games in hand. The hosts have also won three successive matches.

Suggested bet: Coventry to win or draw
Value bet: Coventry to win

Hoffenheim v Wolfsburg (Saturday)

Hoffenheim have dropped to the bottom half of the German Bundesliga table after winning just one of their last eight league fixtures. They’re also winless in four matches, losing back-to-back ties. Wolfsburg are jumping higher and higher up the table and are unbeaten in seven league games, which include three successive victories coming into this encounter.

Suggested bet: Wolfsburg to win or draw
Value bet: Wolfsburg to win

Freiburg v Union Berlin (Sunday)

Freiburg and Union Berlin come into this game as the chasing pack behind Bundesliga leaders, Bayern Munich, who look to be distancing themselves as we draw closer to the halfway mark. Union Berlin have been disappointing, winning just once in their last four matches, meanwhile, Freiburg could go back above their opponents with a positive result. They’ve won three of their last four encounters and are definitely the form team coming into this weekend.

Suggested bet: Freiburg to win
Value bet: Freiburg to win and both teams to score

Napoli v Udinese (Saturday)

Napoli have shown that they’re well ahead of any other team in Italy, sitting eight points clear at the top of the table. They’ve won 10 league games in a row and are still unbeaten this campaign. Udinese are winless in six matches, drawing five times in that run. Victor Osimhen is the league’s top goal scorer with eight goals and will be setting his sights on distancing himself from the chasing pack before the World Cup.

Suggested bet: Napoli to win
Value bet: Osimhen to score first

Juventus v Lazio (Sunday)

Juventus are slowly turning the corner and could go above Lazio in the third place when the two sides meet this Sunday. Juve are unbeaten on their turf, winning five of their seven fixtures. They also boast the record of having the best defence in the league, which was evident in their last home game, when they beat Inter Milan 2-0. Lazio have the second-best defence in the division and have let in just one goal away from home this term.

Suggested bet: Under 2.5 goals
Value bet: Juventus to win and Under 2.5 goals

Lens v Clermont (Saturday)

High-flying Lens have been marvelous to watch and sit comfortably in the second spot. They have a 100 percent record at home, winning all seven of their home matches – the only team in the French Ligue 1 to hold that record. Clermont are winless in four ties, drawing three times.

Suggested bet: Lens to win
Value bet: Correct Score: 2-0

Lille v Angers (Sunday)

Lille have the luxury of returning to winning ways in a favourable fixture against the French Ligue 1’s lowest-ranked team, Angers. The visitors are on a six-game losing streak, shipping in 33 goals this season. Lille have been above average and are in the seventh spot going into the weekend. The hosts have won four of their seven home ties and will be confident of adding to that run.

Suggested bet: Lille to win
Value bet: Lille to win to zero
