class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Despite looking slightly fragile at the back recently, Al Hain-Cole expects the Foxes' superior firepower to see they to victory over Parker's men

Leicester City have the chance to move level on points at the top of the Premier League table when they welcome Fulham to the King Power Stadium on Monday.

The Foxes are three points adrift of top two Tottenham and Liverpool, who they lost out to 3-0 in their last league fixture.

Leicester City vs Fulham Latest Odds

Nevertheless, they are clear 1/2 (1.50) favourites with bet365 to move ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s champions on goal difference by coming out on top in this one.

Scott Parker’s men have claimed just four points from their opening nine matches since returning to the top flight, but can be backed at 11/2 (6.50) to move out of the relegation zone with a shock win here.

The hosts came from behind three times to draw 3-3 with Braga in Thursday’s Europa League game, and you can get odds of 10/3 (4.33) on them being forced to settle for a single point once again.

Leicester City vs Fulham Team News

Timothy Castagne could return after missing the Anfield defeat with a slight hamstring issue, although Daniel Amartey, Caglar Soyuncu, Wilfred Ndidi and Ricardo Pereira remain sidelined.

Josh Onomah, Terence Kongolo and Kenny Tete are all injured for the guests, although Aboubakar Kamara is back in contention following a ban.

Leicester City vs Fulham Preview

After seeing his side’s defence dismantled in an emphatic defeat against Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers may have been slightly concerned at shipping another three goals in Portugal in midweek.

These signs of defensive frailty will certainly provide encouragement for the Cottagers, who have found the net in all but one of their last five league matches and looked fairly threatening in their 3-2 defeat against Everton last time out.

However, Fulham’s chances of earning anything at the King Power Stadium are likely to be foiled by their own defensive issues – having conceded more goals than any other team in the division despite playing one match fewer than most.

Leicester City vs Fulham Tips and Predictions

Having scored three goals or more in three of their last five fixtures, odds of 5/4 (2.25) seem generous on Leicester’s superior attacking quality providing them with all three points in a sixth match in seven against this opposition that features over 2.5 goals.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The meeting between these two sides earlier in the Champions League was a high-scoring clash and we are backing the goals to flow once more on Tuesday

Real Madrid can secure qualification into the next round of the Champions League when they visit Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

A win for the 13-time European champions would secure their place in the last 16 but Los Blancos will be wary of the Ukranian champions who beat them 3-2 in the reverse fixture on matchday one.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid Latest Odds

Despite claiming a victory in the previous meeting between these two sides, Shakhtar are clear outsiders at 15/2 (8.50) by bet365.

The visitors have won just four of their last 10 games in all competitions but are offered at 3/10 (1.30) with the draw available at 5/1 (6.00).

Shakhtar Donestk vs Real Madrid Team News

The La Liga side have a number of injury concerns with Dani Carvajal, Fede Valverde, Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema all missing Saturday night’s defeat to Alaves, whilst Eden Hazard had to leave the game after 30 minutes with a knock..

The hosts look set to have more players available than when they visited the Spanish capital in September, although Davit Khocholava, Yevhen Konoplyanka, Viktor Korniienko, and Dentinho are all set to be sidelined. 

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid Preview

Following a much-needed 2-0 win in Milan against Inter last week, Madrid suffered a shock 2-1 home loss to Alaves at Saturday evening to continue their inconsistent run which has seen them win only four of their last 10 games.

The defensive solidity that was the backbone of last season’s domestic title success has evaporated, with the clean sheet in Italy their only shutout in those 10 games, although going forward they are strong with 19 goals during that time.

Shakhtar, meanwhile, have not scored in the Champions League since their victory in Spain but the ease with which they created chances on matchday one will give them confidence that they can cause Madrid problems once again.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at just 4/6 (1.66) which gives an indication of what is expected from this game.

For higher odds, though, backing both teams to score in the first half at 5/2 (3.50) looks like a more interesting option.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having rediscovered their touch in front of goal at the weekend, Al Hain-Cole is backing Guardiola's men to ease to victory over the Liga NOS side

Manchester City will be looking to clinch first place in their Champions League group when they travel to the Estadio do Dragao to take on Porto on Tuesday.

The Citizens are already through to the knockout stages after taking 12 points from the first available 12 in Group C, and a point in this clash will see them go through as a top seed.

Porto vs Manchester City Latest Odds

Having run out comfortable 3-1 winners in the reverse encounter at the Etihad Stadium, City are 7/10 (1.70) favourites with bet365 to maintain their 100 per cent record with a fifth consecutive win.

Sergio Conceicao’s men have won each of their three subsequent matches since the opening 3-1 defeat in Manchester but are 15/4 (4.75) outsiders to extend that run with a shock victory here.

A point would be enough for the hosts to secure their place in the last 16, and they are priced at 3/1 (4.00) to earn a creditable draw.

Porto vs Manchester City Team News

Marko Grujic is suspended after his red card against Marseille, while Pepe faces a late fitness test but Mouhamed Mbaye and Ivan Marcano are both ruled out.

Sergio Aguero and Nathan Ake are both unlikely to feature after missing Saturday’s 5-0 win over Burnley with minor injuries.

Porto vs Manchester City Preview

After a difficult start to the campaign characterised by a lack of cutting edge in front of goal, Pep Guardiola’s team will have received a welcome confidence boost following their emphatic win over Burnley.

Although already through to the next round, they will be determined to carry that feelgood factor forward with another big performance in this game – particularly as first place is still up for grabs.

In fact, their Champions League form has been free-scoring all along, hitting the net 10 times in their four group games so far.

Considering Porto have been on target 15 times in their last six home games in this competition themselves, goalmouth action is unlikely to be in short supply in this game.

Porto vs Manchester City Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 7/5 (2.40) seem very generous on City coming out on top once again for their eighth Champions League game in nine to feature over 2.5 goals, as well as Porto’s 10th home game in 12 in this competition.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Eredivisie side are in free-scoring form and our tipster is backing plenty of action when they head to Anfield in the Champions League on Tuesday

Liverpool can secure their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League on Tuesday night when they welcome Ajax to Anfield.

Although top of Group D with nine points, a lifeless performance at home to Atalanta last week meant the Reds are still not yet guaranteed a spot in the last 16.

Liverpool vs Ajax Latest Odds

Having won the reverse fixture 1-0 thanks to a Nicolas Tagliafico own goal, bet365 make Liverpool 8/11 (1.73) favourites to confirm passage into the next round with victory here.

Victory for Ajax would see them leapfrog the Reds and into first place in Group D, although the online bookmaker make that a 13/4 (4.25) chance on Tuesday.

A draw could be enough for the hosts if Midtjylland beat Atalanta in the other game and a stalemate is available at 16/5 (4.20).

Liverpool vs Ajax Team News

Liverpool suffered yet another injury at the weekend as James Milner went off against Brighton and will miss this one, along with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Thiago, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Xherdan Shaqiri.

Former Manchester United defender Daley Blind is unlikely to feature for Ajax after picking up a hamstring injury last week, whilst Mohammed Kudus is out.

Liverpool vs Ajax Preview

Having opted for mass rotation for an unforgiving schedule over the last week, Klopp’s gambles did not pay off after the 2-0 loss against Atalanta was followed up with another turgid showing in the 1-1 draw at Brighton.

It is likely to be a full-strength side for this game with Sadio Mane and Jordan Henderson set to return to the line-up, which should provide more creativity than the Reds have shown in the last week.

However, they will certainly face stiff competition from an Ajax side that have been in the goals since losing 1-0 at Anfield, netting 38 times in eight games and scoring more than once in each of those fixtures.

Liverpool vs Ajax Tips and Predictions

With Ajax scoring plenty of goals and the Reds determined to bounce back from a couple of poor results, the Evens (2.0) on over 3.5 goals offers decent value for this Champions League clash.

Although the game between these sides in Amsterdam ended with only a solitary strike, the teams accumulated 11 shots on target whilst Ajax hit the woodwork once and had a shot cleared off the line.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts may already be eliminated from the competition but they have scored in every match so far and we are backing that run to continue this week

Barcelona travel to Hungary on Wednesday on matchday five of the Champions League with Ronald Koeman’s side already assured of their place in the knockout stages of the competition.

The Blaugrana are top of Group G will still be looking for a win to try and wrap up top spot in the group, while the hosts know that finishing third is their only way of continuing in Europe this season.

Ferencvaros vs Barcelona Latest Odds

The Catalans were 5-1 winners when these two sides met at Camp Nou on matchday one and another victory for the La Liga side is available at 4/11 (1.36) with bet365.

Ferencvaros have one point from a possible 12 in the group and are offered at 15/2 (8.50), with the draw at 4/1 (5.00).

Ferencvaros vs Barcelona Team News

Barcelona have a lengthy injury list with centre-backs Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti and Ronaldo Araujo all out, whilst Sergio Roberto and Ansu Fati are both injured. Lionel Messi and Frenkie de Jong could be rested as they were last week.

Eldar Civic is the only injury for the Hungarian champions, meaning Marcel Heister should continue to deputise.

Ferencvaros vs Barcelona Preview

They might be bottom of the group but Ferencvaros have managed the impressive achievement of scoring in every match the have played so far in Champions League.

With Barcelona missing a number of defensive players through injury and likely to rotate the squad anyway, the hosts will feel they have a great chance to at least get on the scoresheet once more.

Barca have conceded in eight of their last 11 matches in all competitions, while Ferencvaros have scored in 20 of the 21 competitive fixtures they have contested this term.

While the visitors are already through and the Hungarians already eliminated, there is still sufficient motivation in terms of top spot and a Europa League berth, respectively, to mean that both teams should take the game seriously. 

Ferencvaros vs Barcelona Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at 5/6 (1.83) and looks like an excellent selection, one which comfortably paid out in the previous meetings between the sides.
