10 Matches To Bet On And Value Bets

Chelsea vs Everton (Saturday)

Chelsea aim to boost their hopes of securing a top-five Premier League finish as they host Everton in Saturday’s early kickoff at Stamford Bridge. Manager Enzo Maresca remains under intense scrutiny despite his side’s dramatic late comeback against Fulham last weekend, where two late goals turned a looming defeat into an unexpected win. However, the result did little to relieve the growing pressure on Maresca, who will be absent from the touchline due to suspension.

Suggested bet: Both teams to score
Value bet: Chelsea to win and both teams to score

Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town’s short-lived Premier League comeback could be sealed with relegation on Saturday afternoon as they travel to face Newcastle United at St James’ Park. The visitors are clinging to slim hopes of survival and will need both a win and favourable results from other fixtures to stay in the fight. Meanwhile, the Magpies – with Eddie Howe back on the touchline – remain firmly in contention for a Champions League spot in what has become a tightly contested race.

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

Barcelona vs Real Madrid (Saturday)

Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid lock horns in the Copa del Rey final in Seville on Saturday in the latest instalment of the El Clasico. Both sides will be eager to get their hands on the trophy and claim bragging rights over the other. Having won the last two meetings convincingly, Barcelona will be the favourites to triumph.

Suggested bet: Over 2.5 goals
Value bet: Barcelona to win and both teams to score

Villarreal vs Espanyol (Sunday)

Villarreal will be aiming to reignite their push for a top-five finish in La Liga as they host a resurgent Espanyol side on Sunday afternoon. The Yellow Submarine sit sixth in the standings, just two points adrift of fifth-placed Real Betis, and are desperate to regain momentum. Espanyol, on the other hand, head into the clash full of confidence after going five matches unbeaten and currently find themselves in 13th spot.

Suggested bet: Both teams to score
Value bet: Draw

Venezia vs AC Milan (Sunday)

Buoyed by a midweek derby triumph and a place in the Coppa Italia final, AC Milan will look to carry that winning momentum into Sunday’s Serie A clash against Venezia at Stadio Penzo. While the Rossoneri are currently ninth in the league table, their dominant semi-final display has reignited belief within the squad. Venezia, meanwhile, are in survival mode as they battle to avoid dropping straight back down to Serie B.

Suggested bet: AC Milan to win
Value bet: AC Milan -1 handicap

Juventus vs Monza (Sunday)

After falling out of the Serie A top four earlier this week, Juventus will be desperate to revive their Champions League ambitions when they welcome struggling Monza on Sunday. The Bianconeri’s recent dip has only deepened the gloom around a disappointing season, while Monza arrive at the Allianz Stadium knowing another loss could seal their relegation fate.

Suggested bet: Juventus to win
Value bet: Juventus win to nil

Bayern Munich vs Mainz (Saturday)

Bayern Munich could wrap up the Bundesliga title this Saturday when they host Mainz 05 at the Allianz Arena, provided they claim all three points and Bayer Leverkusen slip up elsewhere. The league leaders sit on 72 points, holding an eight-point cushion over second-placed Leverkusen. However, Bayern won’t have it easy against a determined Mainz side pushing for European qualification, currently sixth with 47 points after a 2-2 draw with Wolfsburg last weekend.

Suggested bet: Bayern Munich to win
Value bet: Bayern Munich to win and over 2.5 goals

Hoffenheim vs Dortmund (Saturday)

Borussia Dortmund will take a major step towards European qualification if they can secure victory over Hoffenheim at the PreZero Arena on Saturday in the Bundesliga. While Hoffenheim sit 15th with 30 points and are likely just one win away from securing their Bundesliga status, they’ll face a tough test against a Dortmund side sitting seventh with 45 points, fresh off a thrilling 3-2 win against Borussia Monchengladbach last Sunday.

Suggested bet: Dortmund to win
Value bet: Dortmund to win and over 2.5 goals

Strasbourg vs Saint-Etienne (Saturday)

Strasbourg host Saint-Etienne at the Stade de la Meinau on Saturday in a clash that could impact both the relegation scrap and the race for the top four. Liam Rosenior’s side have been one of the hottest teams in Europe in recent weeks, while Saint-Etienne boosted their chances of staying up with a crucial victory last weekend.

Suggested bet: Strasbourg to win
Value bet: Strasbourg to win half-time/full-time

Marseille vs Brest (Sunday)

Marseille welcome Brest to the Stade Velodrome this weekend in a Ligue 1 encounter with European ambitions on the line for both clubs. With just four matches left to play, Marseille sit second in the table and currently hold a Champions League place, while Brest are ninth and face a seven-point gap to reach the Europa Conference League positions.

Suggested bet: Marseille to win
Value bet: Marseille to win and over 2.5 goals
