With 10 matches left to play in the Premier League, there is still everything to play for at the top and bottom of the table, with the battles for the title, the top four and survival still very much open. We also take a look at action from Spain and Italy as we bring you seven great BTTS tips for the week ahead, including some at very nice odds indeed.
Monday 2nd March 2015
- AS Roma v Juventus (evens with Betfair) – Juventus have drawn a blank in only one of the last 19 meetings between the two sides and we’d back them to hit the back of the net again with the Old Lady in fine form. The meeting between these two top sides ended 3-2 earlier in the season and there could be more fireworks at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday.
Tuesday 3rd March 2015
- Southampton v Crystal Palace (5/4 with Betfair) – With Crystal Palace scoring in nearly every match Alan Pardew has taken charge of, we’d back the new look Eagles to get at least one against Southampton. However, Saints will likely welcome Sadio Mane back to the starting lineup and the Senegalese striker is a real threat.
- Aston Villa v West Bromwich Albion (11/10 with Betfred) Villa have looked a lot more attacking since Tim Sherwood took over and we’d back them to hit the back of the net again against West Brom. Tony Pulis’ sides are famous for their defensive attributes, but he has revolutionised their attack, with Brown Ideye and Saido Berahino looking different players since he took over.
Wednesday 4th March 2015
- Villarreal v Barcelona (4/7 with Bet365) – Barcelona will be desperate to end their trophy drought with a win in the Copa del Rey, but they must first get past Villarreal who have bags of attacking talent. Both teams have hit the back of the net in the two meetings between these two this season and we’d back there to be more goals in this one.
- Queens Park Rangers v Arsenal (3/4 with Ladbrokes) – Arsene Wenger’s side have a torrid record at Loftus Road and with Chris Ramsey’s men looking good at home this season, we’d back that run to continue. However, the Gunners do have a number of players who can produce something special when needed and we can certainly see both sides hitting the back of the net in this match.
- Stoke City v Everton (17/20 with BetVictor) – Everton will be looking to use their Europa League success as a springboard to push up the league. Games between these two are often close and neither side have looked great at the back this season, with Stoke recently conceding four against Blackburn in the FA Cup.
- West Ham v Chelsea (4/5 with BetVictor) – Chelsea don’t have long to recover from their League Cup final at the weekend and they have looked a bit leaky at the back recently and we’d back the Hammers to take advantage of that. However, Chelsea did win 2-0 when the two sides met earlier in the season and they will be expecting to record all three points again.
