Arsenal host bottom-side Burnley at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Mikel Arteta’s side has won seven of their 10 Premier League home games so far this season, losing twice and conceding just eight goals along the way. As for the Clarets, they’re winless in their last eight fixtures, losing four times – those defeats coming in their last five matches.

Alaves v Barcelona (Sunday)

Barcelona travels to Alaves for their La Liga clash this Sunday night as they continue their quest to make sure they end the season in the top four. The Catalans are yet to lose an away match in the league under Xavi Hernandez, but two wins from five games simply aren’t good enough for a club looking to get back to their heydays. Fortunately for Barca, they face a side extremely low on confidence and who come off a heavy 4-0 defeat to Real Betis.

Suggested bet: Barcelona to win

Lazio v Atalanta (Saturday)

Following a thrilling 3-3 stalemate with Empoli and a 2-1 defeat away at Inter Milan, Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio got back to winning ways by beating new boys Salernitana 3-0 thanks to goals by Ciro Immobile and Manuel Lazzari. Atalanta, on the other hand, comes off a goalless draw with Inter Milan and will look to continue their excellent form on the road, which has seen the boys from Bergamo draw twice and claim nine wins in 11 matches, while the last six meetings between these sides have seen over 3.5 goals scored in each encounter.

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

Empoli v AS Roma (Sunday)

Empoli returns home to the Stadio Carlo Castellani where Gli Azzurri suffered heavy defeats to AC Milan (4-2) and Sassuolo (5-1) after managing to share the spoils in three consecutive draws on the road against the likes of Spezia, Lazio, and Venezia. Jose Mourinho’s newly-signed Portuguese compatriot, Sergio Oliveira, made the perfect start on his league debut, scoring from the penalty spot in a dramatic 1-0 win over Cagliari that snapped a two-game losing streak after defeats to AC Milan and Juventus. Roma will be aiming for their fifth straight victory over Empoli.

Greuther Furth v Mainz (Saturday)

RB Leipzig v Wolfsburg (Sunday)

Andre Silva scored his eighth goal in nine games across all competitions for RB Leipzig to inspire the Bulls to a 2-0 victory over Stuttgart at the Mercedes-Benz-Arena.

Jerome Roussillon scored the only goal of the game as Wolfsburg ran out 1-0 winners in the last meeting between these sides earlier this season.

Suggested bet: RB Leipzig to win
Value bet: Andre Silva to score first

Monaco v Clermont (Sunday)

Monaco set their sights on new boys Clermont as the Monegasques seek to return to winning ways following a disappointing goalless draw with Nantes. Coach Philippe Clement’s men are well and truly in for a battle during the second half of the season with a host of teams closely knitted together on the log standings, all desperately hoping to secure qualification to European football for next season. Monaco ran out 3-1 winners when these teams met earlier this season and they’ll be hoping for a mirror of that result.

The last two matches between these opponents have been goal-filled encounters with nine goals scored in total.

Value bet: Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score

Montpellier v Monaco (Sunday)

Montpellier will be looking to get back to winning ways after their four-game winning streak was snapped in last week’s 3-1 defeat away at Strasbourg.

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