Manchester City vs Arsenal
Wednesday 17th June 2020
Premier League, Etihad Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick Off: 20:15 BST

After a long wait, the Premier League is back in action on Wednesday night with a heavyweight battle as Manchester City host Arsenal.

Second-placed City have no hope in defending their Premier League title upon the league’s return but will be hoping to cement a top two finish with Leicester City not far off. Meanwhile, Arsenal trail the Champions League qualification spots by eight points and manager Mikel Arteta has his work cut out for him in the push for top four.

Manchester City are favourites for this Premier League restart curtain raiser and are priced at 1/3 to win the match by SkyBet. Pep Guardiola’s side were in good form before the league was suspended due to coronavirus. Despite a crushing 2-0 defeat to their rivals Manchester United, in most parts City looked like the dangerous, free-scoring team that has demolished plenty of league oppositions in the past. They have a great history against Arsenal, with six straight victories in all competitions. Albeit, this will be their first competitive match behind closed doors.

Going forward, Sergio Aguero will be a man on a mission to return with a bang. He already has 16 goals this season and is priced at 12/5 to open the scoring.

Arsenal are underdogs for this match-up and are priced at 7/1 to claim a shock away victory. The Gunners have endured a pretty torrid season by their standards, as they restart the league in ninth position. They face one of their toughest tests of the season, and a recent 3-2 defeat to Championship side Brentford will not help their confidence.

In attack, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been one of the team’s shining stars and has 17 goals this season. He is price boosted at 9/4 to score anytime by SkyBet.

Last time these two met, City put on a first half rout as they comfortably beat the Gunners 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium. Kevin de Bruyne scored a brace as Raheem Sterling also got on the scoresheet and 50 booking points were awarded. With players potentially being rusty in their first match back, SkyBet are offering 11/8 for 50+ booking points again.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 20:15.

Prediction: Manchester City 2-0 Arsenal

– The hosts should breeze through Arsenal if history can say anything about it.

Sunday 14th June
 2020
Bundesliga, VELTINS-Arena

Live on BT Sport 1 HD – Kick Off: 17:00 BST

Schalke will host top four hopefuls Bayer Leverkusen in Bundesliga action this Sunday afternoon.

The hosts have been in horrendous form ever since the Bundesliga’s restart from the coronavirus pandemic with four losses and one draw. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen have impressed but are lacking some consistency as they put the chase on Borussia Monchengladbach and RB Leipzig for a top four finish.

Schalke are heavy underdogs for this match despite having home advantage and are priced at 5/1 to win the match by SkyBet. David Wagner’s side must become more clinical in attack, after they have scored just three goals in their five matches since their return. Their home form is also poor, with four losses from their last five. With Leverkusen’s fast-paced, creative attack, Schalke will be in for a tough afternoon.

In attack, Benito Raman has been one of the only bright stars in the Schalke set-up and is priced at 10/3 to score anytime.

Bayer Leverkusen are favourites for this match up and are priced at 8/15 to claim an away victory. The visitors will fancy their chances against Schake after their 3-0 victory over Saarbrucken in the DFB-Pokal semi-final. Their away form is excellent, with five straight victories on the road against more in-form opposition than their Sunday opponents.

Going forward, Chelsea target Kai Havertz has been in inspired form this season with 11 goals and five assists. He is priced at 23/20 to score anytime.

Last time these two met, 40 booking points were brandished as Leverkusen came out 2-1 victors at the BayArena. SkyBet are offering 5/4 for 50+ booking points.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 17:00.

Sunday 14th June 2020
Bundesliga – Opel Arena

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-off: 14:30 BST

Mainz FSV return to the Opel Arena this weekend when they host Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday afternoon.

Its tight towards the bottom of the table, and only one point and two places separate these two sides ahead of kick off. The hosts Mainz boosted their bid to avoid relegation last weekend with a terrific 2-0 win away to Eintracht Frankfurt; their first win since the Bundesliga’s resumption. This weekend’s opponents Augsburg played out a 1-1 home draw against FC Koln.

Mainz find themselves in 13th place, four points above the relegation play-off position. Last weekend’s win was much needed, it was their first in five matches. Augsburg have struggled since the return of the Bundesliga, winning only once in five attempts.

The reverse fixture ended in a 2-1 home win for Augsburg and a similar result this time round would be just what they need to regain some stability to their season. Four yellow cards were brandished in December’s encounter, two for each side and SkyBet are offering odds of 4/7 for 40+ booking points in this one.

Augsburg have the much superior record in this fixture and have won the last four consecutive meetings. Of these encounters, BTTS has landed in three of four and is priced at 4/7 on SkyBet for this weekend.

Mainz FSV’s Pierre Kunde has scores two goals in his last four encounters. The Cameroonian is priced at 4/1 to score anytime on Sunday afternoon.

Florian Niederlechner struck the winner for Augsburg in this fixture back in December, he is priced at 15/8 to score once again this weekend.

Mainz FSV’s Leandro Barreiro has been yellow carded in each of his last two Bundesliga appearances. The Luxembourgian is priced at 2/1 to be carded in this weekends clash.

This game will be shown live on BT Sport 1HD with kick-off scheduled for 14:30 BST on Sunday afternoon.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Monchengladbach
Saturday 13th June 2020
Bundesliga – Allianz Arena

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-off: 17:30 BST

Runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich return to action this weekend as they host Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday evening.

Bayern are more than sitting pretty at the summit of the Bundesliga and have a healthy seven-point lead over second placed Borussia Dortmund.

Since the resumption of the Bundesliga, Hans Dieter-Flick’s side have been the epitome of perfection. Bayern have won all five of their matches since the leagues continuation and are on a sixteen-match unbeaten run. They ran out 4-2 winners away to Bayer Leverkusen in their last league encounter.

Their opponents Borussia Monchengladbach will be looking to bounce back from last week’s disappointing defeat away to SC Freiburg. Marco Rose’s side are currently third in the Bundesliga and in a battle to secure Champions League football for next season.

December’s meeting between these two sides was arguably Bayern’s most poignant of the season, even though they ended up on the losing side. Their 2-1 defeat signalled the end of Niko Kovac’s dismal reign as manager, and kickstarted their surge back to the top of the Bundesliga where they are now chasing their eighth consecutive Bundesliga title. Ramy Bensebaini struck an unlikely brave in Monchengladbach’s win, and is priced at a massive 13/2 on SkyBet to score anytime.

It’s level pegging between these two in head to head terms. Both have won twice apiece in the last four encounters and following their earlier triumph this season, Monchengladbach will have a level of confidence ahead of Saturdays clash. Over 2.5 goals has landed in each of the last four encounters and is priced at 2/5 on SkyBet.

Monchengladbach’s Stefan Lainer is their most carded player this season with eight yellow cards in twenty-seven appearences. The Austrian has been carded in his last two appearences, and he’s priced at 21/10 to be carded in this one.

This match will be televised live on BT Sport 1HD, with kick-off scheduled to take place at 17:30 GMT.

Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Borussia Dortmund
Saturday 13th June 2020
Bundesliga – Merkur Spiel-Arena

Live on BT Sport 1HD – Kick-off: 14:30 GMT

Borussia Dortmund return to Bundesliga action on Saturday afternoon when they travel to face Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Lucien Favre’s side come into Saturday’s clash following a hard-fought victory over Hertha Berlin last Saturday. The only blemish on Dortmund’s record since the Bundesliga’s return was their De Klassiker defeat to fierce rivals Bayern Munich, a result which just about sealed Bayern’s fate as Champions barring a monumental capitulation. Dortmund are seven-points behind the league leaders.

Saturday’s clash is the start of what looks like a tough week for Dusseldorf. They welcome Dortmund before travelling to RB Leipzig on Wednesday night; two clashes against 2nd and 3rd in the division. Uwe Rosler’s side find themselves 16th in the league, truly in the thick of a relegation battle. Dusseldorf have won one of their five encounters since the leagues return.

The meeting in the reverse fixture ended in a 5-0 rout for Dortmund, with Marco Reus and Jadon Sancho both netting twice each. Reus returned to Dortmund training this week and faces a race to be fit for this one. Dortmund have won three of the last four meetings between these two sides. Dusseldorf’s only recent win came back in 2018 where they ran out 2-1 winners.

In three of the last four meetings in this fixture, BTTS has landed. This is priced at 4/6 on SkyBet. Over 3.5 goals has landed in the last three consecutive meetings and is priced at 11/10 to land in this one.

Dortmund have won their last four away matches in the Bundesliga by an aggregate scoreline of 12-2. This includes the 6-1 annihilation of strugglers Paderborn a fortnight ago. SkyBet are offering odds of a Dortmund win-to-nil at 6/4.

Borussia Dortmund’s Mats Hummels has been yellow carded five times in the Bundesliga this season, including twice in his last three appearences. The German is priced at 4/1 on SkyBet to be booked on Saturday.

Meanwhile Dusseldorf’s Kaan Ayhan is second in the yellow card rankings this season with sixteen bookings in twenty-six appearences. He is priced at 6/4 on Bet365 to be carded on Saturday afternoon.

This match will be televised live on BT Sport 1HD with kick-off scheduled to take place at 14:30 BST.

Hoffenheim vs RB Leipzig
Friday 12th June
 2020
Bundesliga, Rhein-Neckar-Arena

Live on BT Sport 1 HD – Kick Off: 19:30 BST

Hoffenheim will host RB Leipzig in Bundesliga action this Friday night.

The hosts are in great form, unbeaten in their last four league matches, and are continuing to apply pressure in the race for Europa League qualification. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig will be keen to bounce back from their disappointing 1-1 draw with bottom of the table Paderborn, with the race for the top four heating up.

Hoffenheim are underdogs for this match despite having home advantage and are priced at 11/2 by SkyBet to win the match. Hoffenheim have looked strong in recent performances, without a loss in four matches, but face their toughest test since the return in RB Leipzig. Their home form does not make for great reading and their leaky defence that has conceded 50 goals in 30 games will have trouble dealing with the visitor’s fire power.

In attack, Andrej Kramaric has been the hosts biggest threat this season with seven Bundesliga goals. He is priced at 12/5 to add to his tally at any time during the match.

RB Leipzig are heavy favourites to claim a vital away victory and are priced at 2/5 to win the match. The visitors have cut a frustrated figure in matches such as these, with their last outing proving so with a 1-1 draw with Paderborn. Despite the frustrating draws, Leipzig are without a defeat in 11 Bundesliga fixtures and have the least amount of losses in the entire league.

Going forward, Timo Werner – who has recently agreed a deal to move to Chelsea – has been in inspired form all season and has 25 goals. He is price boosted to 10/3 to score a brace on Friday night.

Last these these two met, 40 booking points were brandished as Timo Werner bagged a brace and Marcel Sabitzer confirmed three points for Julian Naglesmann’s side. SkyBet are offering 1/1 for 50+ booking points.

Hoffenheim vs RB Leipzig will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 19:30.

Prediction: Hoffenheim 1-2 RB Leipzig

– The visitors should get the job done but can make these matches harder for themselves than they need to be.

Sunday 7th June

Bundesliga, Stadion Al der Alten Försterei

Live on BT Sport 1 HD – Kick Off: 14:30 BST

Union Berlin will play host to struggling Schalke in Bundesliga action this Sunday afternoon.

Both teams are entering this match in pretty woeful form. Union have lost five of their last six matches and drew the other in a 1-1 match with Mainz. Meanwhile, Schalke have lost seven of their last eight matches and are without a win in over ten outings.

Union Berlin are priced at 7/5 by SkyBet to claim a home victory against their out of form visitors. Union find themselves in a pickle after a 4-1 defeat against Borussia Monchengladbach. They have scored just two goals from their last four matches since the league’s return and have failed to impress with their defensive efforts. Fortunately, they are not facing the most potent or in-form attack on Sunday, in a match that provides a great chance for them to improve their form.

Striker Sebastian Andersson has been their brightest star this season with 12 Bundesliga goals. He scored in their last match and is priced at 17/10 to score anytime.

Schalke are priced at 19/10 to win the match by SkyBet are climb themselves out of this current slump. David Wagner’s side have cut a frustrated figure since the Bundesliga return, with four straight losses and only one goal scored. Whilst injuries have not been on their side, they have not been able to turn possession into chances which has cost them.

In attack, they are missing their two top goal scorers this season; Suat Serder and Amine Harit. Their greatest goal threat will come from Benito Raman, who is priced at 13/5 to score anytime.

Last time these two met, Schalke pulled off a late 2-1 victory with an 86th minute goal from Suat Serder, who is unavailable for this match. 50 booking points were brandished in the reverse fixture and SkyBet are offering 11/8 for 50+ booking points again.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 14:30.

Prediction: Union Berlin 1-1 Schalke

– It’s tough to split these two, who are in horrendous form and struggling to score many goals.

Werder Bremen vs Wolfsburg
Sunday 7th June 2020
Bundesliga – Weser Stadion

Live on BT Sport 1HD – Kick-off: 12:30 BST

Sunday’s Bundesliga action gets underway when Werder Bremen host Wolfsburg at lunchtime.

Both sides are battling at different ends of the Bundesliga table and still have plenty to play for. Werder Bremen’s thirty-nine-year tenure in Germany’s top-flight is threatening to come to an end as the club find themselves in the thick of a relegation battle. Bremen occupy 17th in the Bundesliga and find themselves two points from safety. In fairness their form since the Bundesliga’s return has been mixed, winning two and losing two of their five encounters since the leagues return.

Wolfsburg on the hand are battling to secure a place in next seasons Europa League. Oliver Glasner’s side are sixth, in the competitions play-off position with fierce competition from Hoffenheim who are level on points. Since the Bundesliga’s return Wolfsburg, similarly to Werder Bremen have won two and lost two of their encounters.

Wolfsburg are unbeaten in their last six away matches in all competitions winning four. SkyBet have priced them at 21/20 to come away with all three points on Sunday.

Bremen’s form generally this season has been poor, and their standing is no surprise considering they’ve won only six of their twenty-nine matches this season. Nine of Bremen’s last twelve home matches have ended in defeat.

The earlier meeting between these two sides came back in December and produced five goals. It was Bremen who came out on top with a 3-2 win, and a similar result this weekend could help kick-start their revival.

BTTS has landed in four of the last five meetings between these two sides, and SkyBet have priced it at 4/6 for this fixture.

Milos Veljkovic has been yellow carded in two of his last three Bundesliga appearances, including Wednesday night’s defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. He is priced at 3/1 to be carded on SkyBet.

This match will be televised live on BT Sport 1, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30 BST on Sunday lunchtime.

Saturday 6th June
 2020
Bundesliga, Signal Iduna Park

Live on BT Sport 1 HD – Kick Off: 17:30 BST

Borussia Dortmund will host Hertha Berlin in Bundesliga action this Saturday evening.

Dortmund enter the match on the back of a massive 6-1 demolition job against bottom of the table Paderborn. Whilst their title hopes seem to have faded, they still have to secure a top four finish and looked well on form last time out. Meanwhile, Hertha are still hopeful they can make up the ground in the race for Europa League qualification.

Borussia Dortmund are favourites for this encounter and are priced at 1/3 by SkyBet to win the match. Lucien Favre’s side bounced back from their Bayern heartache with a thumping 6-1 victory to restore some confidence around the squad. Their fluid style of attacking was on full display and will strike fear into the Hertha defence, who have looked relatively strong since the Bundesliga restart.

In attack, star striker Erling Braut Haaland is still a major doubt due to a knee injury, However, they still have the formidable Jadon Sancho, who scored a hat-trick last weekend, and is priced at 3/1 to score first.

Hertha Berlin will have their work cut out in this match and are priced at 13/2 to pull off a shock away victory. The visitors are in fine form as they enter this match up. They are unbeaten in six Bundesliga matches; with three wins and three draws. In their four matches back, they have scored eleven goals, however, they face their toughest test yet against Dortmund.

In attack, Krzysztof Piatek has scored in his last two outings and is priced at 5/2 to score anytime.

Last time these two met, a fast start from Dortmund with goals from Jadon Sancho and Thorgan Hazard secured a 2-1 victory for Lucien Favre’s team as 65 booking points were awarded. SkyBet are offering 11/10 for 40+ booking points.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 17:30.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich
Saturday 6th June 2020
Bundesliga – Bay Arena

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-off: 14:30 BST.

The pick of this weeks Bundesliga action comes from the Bay Arena as Bayer Leverkusen host Bayern Munich on Saturday afternoon.

It’s runaway leaders versus Champions League hopefuls in this one, with both hoping this unique season can be one topped off with success. Leverkusen sit 5th on 56 points, level on points with Borussia Monchengladbach and two behind RB Leipzig in 3rd. Pater Bosz’s side have lost one of their four matches since the Bundesliga’s return, winning the other three including last weekends 1-0 triumph away to SC Freiburg.

The superlatives are running out to describe this Bayern Munich juggernaut which is blitzing its way through Germany’s top-flight. The Bavarians are well on their way to making it eight consecutive Bundesliga titles, and have a healthy seven-point cushion between themselves and closest challengers Borussia Dortmund. Hans-Dieter Flick’s side have won all four matches since their return, scoring thirteen and more impressively, conceding only two.

It’s worth noting that Leverkusen came out on top in the seasons earlier meeting between these two with a 2-1 win at the Allianz arena. Leverkusen are one of only four teams to take all three points against Bayern this season, and one of two to win at the Allianz arena.

Leverkusen’s solid form has them in good stead ahead of this one. SkyBet have priced them at 5/1 to take all three points on Saturday.

Leverkusen’s win in November is their only win in the last five meetings in this fixture, with Bayern coming out on top in the other four. However, BTTS has landed in each of the last five encounters and is priced at 4/9 on SkyBet.

Leverkusen’s Moussa Diaby has been yellow carded in two of his last three Bundesliga appearances and is priced at 5/1 to be booked in this one. In the reverse fixture there were four yellow cards awarded and 40+ booking points is priced at 8/13 on SkyBet this time round.
