class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The goals have been flowing in matches involving the Spanish champions in recent weeks and we are backing that trend to continue this weekend

Real Madrid travel to Mestalla on Sunday evening to face Valencia with Zinedine Zidane’s men looking to continue their strong start to the La Liga season.

The defending champions have won seven and drawn two of their last nine league clashes on the road and face a Valencia side who have won just two of their eight league matches this term.

Valencia vs Real Madrid Latest Odds

It looks like this could be a difficult season for Valencia and this week saw midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia leave for Atletico Madrid.

The Frenchman joined fellow first-choice players Rodrigo Moreno, Dani Parejo, Francis Coquelin, Ferran Torres and Ezequiel Garay in departing Mestalla, with manager Javi Gracia infuriated by the club’s decision not to sign a single replacement.

The departure of so many important players, the lack of form and the general negative atmosphere all contribute to Valencia being priced as high as 11/2 (6.50) with bet365.

Los Blancos, for their part, can be backed at 9/20 (1.45) and the draw at 7/2 (4.50).

Valencia vs Real Madrid Team News

The hosts have full-back Thierry Correia suspended following his sending off last weekend against Getafe while centre-back Mouctar Diakhaby is out injured.

For Real Madrid, Lucas Vazquez is likely to continue at right-back with Dani Carvajal, Nacho Fernandez and Alvaro Odriozola all still side-lined. Martin Odegaard is closing in on a return from injury and could be ready for Sunday.

Valencia vs Real Madrid Preview

Los Che have kept just a solitary clean sheet in their eight league games this term and their poor defensive from last season has continued.

In each of their last four matches, Valencia have conceded two goals and only a penalty in 99th minute against Getafe last Sunday prevented them from succumbing to a fourth straight defeat.

Real Madrid have also been conceding goals but Zidane’s side have been dangerous in the final third, netting 18 times in their last five matches, and that firepower has helped them to some positive results in the last three weeks. 

Valencia vs Real Madrid Tips And Predictions

Backing over 3.0 goals on the Asian goal line at 99/100 (1.99) looks like an excellent option. This selection provides a half win if there are exactly three goals in the game and a full win if there are more.

Each of Los Blancos’ last five games have seen at least four goals, and another high-scoring game looks set to be on the cards on Sunday night.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Reds missing their inspirational leader at the back, Al Hain-Cole is backing Sterling to come up with a big goal at the Etihad on Sunday

Manchester City welcome Premier League champions Liverpool to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon and if previous editions are to go by, this could be a fruitful outing for Pep Guardiola’s men.

Indeed, the last three times these teams have met at Eastlands in the league has seen the Citizens win this fixture 5-0, 2-1 and 4-0, and there is set to be yet more goals this time around.

Having put 11 goals past Liverpool in the last three Premier League encounters on home soil, City will be confident of taking advantage of Virgil van Dijk’s absence at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

With Sergio Aguero doubtful due to injury, Raheem Sterling will be aiming to step up and lead the attack against the club he left in 2015.

The England international came back to haunt the Reds for the first time in the league in a 4-0 win last time out and is his side’s 4/1 (5.00) favourite with bet365 to break the deadlock, or available at 20/21 (1.95) to score anytime.

However, Gabriel Jesus is pushing for a recall after making a goal-scoring from injury against Olympiakos in midweek and can be backed at 21/20 (2.05) to hit the net yet again here.

Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring from the penalty spot in July’s meeting here and is priced at a solid 7/4 (2.75) to get on target once more in high profile circumstances.

Although weakened in defence, Jurgen Klopp’s men looked as dangerous as ever up front in Tuesday’s 5-0 Champions League away win over Atalanta.

Having grabbed his ninth goal of the season already in Bergamo, the Egyptian star is a strong 4/1 (5.00) bet to get the ball rolling here – not to mention 20/21 (1.95) anytime odds.

Joining his usual partner in crime on the scoresheet in midweek, Sadio Mane is on offer at 21/20 (2.05) to add to his seven-goal tally for the season here.

Roberto Firmino’s usual place in the famous front three is under threat from new signing Diogo Jota, who is a potentially lucrative 13/8 (2.63) longer shot after scoring seven times in just his first five starts for the champions.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>bet365's tool allows users to put multiple selections from the same match into one bet and our tipster has used it to come up with a wager for Sunday

A Premier League six-pointer takes place on Sunday when Manchester City host champions Liverpool.

Defeat for either team would not be a disaster at this early stage in the season but it would give a huge boost to the winner, both in terms of the table as well as on a psychological level.

Previous editions of this fixture have seen plenty of action, with 29 goals being scored in the last 10 renewals in all competitions, and Sunday’s clash should be no different.

Using bet365’s Bet Builder tool, which allows users to put multiple selections from the same match into one bet, our tipster has come up with a 60/1 (61.0) bet: Raheem Sterling and Diogo Jota to score, Joe Gomez and Kyle Walker to be carded.

With Gabriel Jesus having only just returned from injury, Pep Guardiola may continue to play Sterling as the most advanced player and this should give him plenty of chance to add to his already impressive goal tally.

The former Liverpool man has scored five times in 10 starts this season and found the net when these sides last met back in July, so looks a prime candidate to strike again on Sunday against a depleted Reds defence.

Also in form is Jota after his hat-trick against Atalanta in midweek to make it seven goals for the season, having also scored the winning goal in Liverpool’s last two Premier League outings.

The Portuguese has shown no signs of needing to settle in at Anfield and will be brimming with confidence ahead of this trip to the Etihad Stadium.

In terms of bookings, Walker actually has a very impressive disciplinary record for Man City, picking up only 10 cautions in 100 Premier League appearances for the club.

However, his most recent yellow cards have come against Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United, and Sadio Mane will no doubt provide another tough test for the right-back.

Finally, Gomez has stepped up admirably since the season-ending injury to Virgil van Dijk but is generally liable for a yellow card, having been booked seven times last season – more than any other Red.

One of those was against City in the 4-0 loss back in July and the array of tricky attackers possessed by Guardiola’s team means the threat of a caution is always there for defenders.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Foxes have been in strong form in the final third but our tipster is backing a tight affair when they host defensively-sound Wolves on Sunday

Leicester City can move top of the Premier League for at least a couple of hours when Wolves visit the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Currently one point behind Liverpool, who play Manchester City later in the day, Brendan Rodgers’ side will leapfrog his old club if the Foxes avoid defeat in this one.

Although Leicester have won five of their seven league matches with 17 goals to their name, Wolves boast the second-best defence in the league and represent a stern test for the 2015-16 champions.

Leicester City vs Wolves Latest Odds

The Foxes are on a two-game winning streak in the league and bet365 make them 13/10 (2.30) favourites to see off Nuno Espirito Santo’s men.

Wolves, though, have picked up 10 points from the last available 12 and are 9/4 (3.25) outsiders to make that 13 from 15.

Both meetings between these sides last season finished 0-0 and another draw is available at 11/5 (3.20) .

Leicester City vs Wolves Team News

James Maddison proved his fitness by playing 90 minutes in Leicester’s 4-0 win over Braga on Thursday, but Timothy Castagne, Caglar Soyuncu, Daniel Amartey, Wilfred Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira and Jonny Evans are all injured.

Santo will be without Jonny, and Fernando Marcal is a doubt, but otherwise the Portuguese manager has a full complement of players to choose from.

Leicester City vs Wolves Preview

Thursday’s comfortable victory in the Europa League made it 10 goals in the last three games in all competitions, and that sky-high confidence will be boosted even further by Jamie Vardy’s return after he was rested against Braga.

However, that impressive run could be set to end against a Wolves team that has conceded just once in their last four games and allowed just two shots on target in each of those fixtures.

As well as boasting one of the strongest defences, Santo’s side are the least-effective attack outside of the bottom four with just eight goals scored and average little over three shots on target per game.

Leicester City vs Wolves Tips and Predictions

It is set to be a tight affair at the King Power Stadium and the 5/6 (1.83) quote from bet365 on under 7.5 match shots on target offers decent value for punters, having paid out in five of Wolves’ seven fixtures this term.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Gunners have had little trouble in firing past Smith's men in the past, and Al Hain-Cole is expecting plenty of goalmouth action on Sunday

Arsenal will be looking to finish a strong week on a high when they welcome Aston Villa to the Emirates in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

The Gunners followed up last weekend’s big away win over Manchester United with a comfortable Europa League victory against Molde on Thursday, recovering from a goal down to eventually win 4-1.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Latest Odds

Having won seven of their last eight meetings with this opposition, they are priced at 13/20 (1.65) with bet365 to come out on top once again.

After taking 12 points from the first available 12 this league season, Dean Smith’s men have lost their last two consecutive matches but can be backed at 4/1 (5.00) to bounce back with big win here.

None of the last 10 meetings between this pair have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 31/10 (4.10) on this one finishing up all square.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Team News

Gabriel Martinelli and Pablo Mari are both definitely ruled out, while Calum Chambers remains a major doubt due to injury.

Bertrand Traore could be in contention following a groin injury, although Tom Heaton, Kortney Hause and Wesley are all still sidelined.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Preview

With just one goal to their name in the last three league fixtures, Mikel Arteta’s team will have been particularly encouraged to put four past Molde in the Europa League in midweek.

They should be feeling fairly confident of maintaining that prolific form against a visiting defence they have scored past 16 times in the last four encounters on home soil.

What’s more, the Villans have conceded three times in three of their last four league matches, albeit scoring 14 times in five games themselves including seven in that famous win over Liverpool.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Tips and Predictions

All in all, even money (2.00) seems like decent value on both Arsenal and Aston Villa getting on target in an entertaining clash that produces three goals or more, as it did last season at the Emirates when the Gunners snatched a 3-2 win.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The visitors were in Europa League action in Bulgaria on Thursday evening and the short turnaround between games could mean few goals this weekend

Jose Mourinho takes his Tottenham side to the Hawthorns on Sunday to face a West Brom team still searching for their first Premier League win of the season.

Slaven Bilic’s men have recorded three draws and four defeats from their seven games so far, while Spurs have won all three of their away matches this term.

West Brom vs Tottenham Latest Odds

The Baggies’ last win in the English top-flight actually came against Spurs back in May 2018 and bet365 offer them at 6/1 (7.00) to pick up three points on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs, for their part, can be backed at 9/20 (1.45) while the draw is available at 10/3 (4.33).

West Brom vs Tottenham Team News

The hosts are without Sam Field and Hal Robson-Kanu but welcome back defender Dara O’Shea from an ankle problem.

Erik Lamela and Japhet Tanganga are both out for Spurs, however Sergio Reguilon starts after being assessed, having not featured on Thursday night in the Europa League.

West Brom XI: Johnstone; Furlong, Ajayi, Bartley, O’Shea; Townsend, Gallagher, Livermore, Krovinovic, Robinson; Grant

Spurs XI: Lloris; Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele; Bale, Son, Kane

West Brom vs Tottenham Preview

Spurs have won both of their Premier League matches this season which have come after Europa League group games, but both victories have been hardfought.

The European success over LASK was followed by a 1-0 win at Burnley, while the 1-0 loss at Antwerp saw the team bounce back with a 2-1 win against Brighton.

The north London side were victorious in Bulgaria against Ludogorets on Thursday and there should be interest in backing another tight game, with the short turnaround likely to hinder Spurs’ intensity.

West Brom’s recent matches have been low-scoring encounters and opposing goals at The Hawthorns this weekend should appeal, especially considering Harry Kane and Gareth Bale both started on Thursday and are likely to do so here.

West Brom vs Tottenham Tips and Predictions

Under 2.75 goals in the game is offered at 93/100 (1.93) and looks like a solid option.

This selection pays out in full if there are less than three goals in the game, while half the initial stake is returned if there are exactly three goals in the game.
