Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Monchengladbach
Saturday 16th May 2020
Bundesliga, Commerzbank Arena

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

After two months of no football due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Bundesliga becomes the first major league to return with a weekend packed full of footballing action. Eintracht Frankfurt play against Borussia Monchengladbach as both clubs make their first appearances since the suspension of the league.

The two sides have had differing campaigns to date, with Frankfurt sitting midtable just above the relegation spots whilst Monchengladbach are still within touching distance in the title race.

Eintracht Frankfurt are priced at 15/8 to win the match behind closed doors and ensure they keep a safe distance from the drop zone. The hosts are currently six points from the relegation places and will be hoping their strong home form will continue despite having no fans in the stands. Their main issue has been consistency, with two thumping 4-0 defeats in their last three league appearances.

However, the manner of this return means old form can be thrown out of the window as they look to avenge Monchengladbach for the 4-2 loss earlier in the campaign. In attack, Goncalo Paciencia has been their main threat with seven goals. He is priced at 23/10 to score anytime.

Borussia Monchengladbach are priced at 13/10 to win the match and continue to put pressure on the top three clubs. The team have had a strong season – especially on the road with 20 points claimed from 12 matches. They also boast one of the best defensive records in the league, with 30 goals conceded from 25 outings.

In attack, Monchengladbach have the dynamic partnership of Alassane Plea, who is on nine goals this season, and Breel Embolo, who has scored seven league goals. It is the Frenchman Plea who has really impressed this season and his pace and strength could be too much for the Frankfurt defence.

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

Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt  0-1 Borussia Monchengladbach

– The visitors have a much stronger defensive record and could just edge this match with home advantage meaning very little with no crowd.

  • Correct Score – Borussia Monchengladbach to win 1-0 – 9/1.
  • Correct Score Group Betting – Borussia Monchengladbach to win 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 – 5/2.

Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid
Wednesday 1st January 2020
UEFA Champions League, Anfield

Live on BT Sport 2 HD – Kick Off: 20:00 GMT

Liverpool will host Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League tie.

In the first leg, Atletico Madrid ran out 1-0 victors over the Premier League leaders with an early 4th minute goal from midfielder Saul. Liverpool are going through the first sticky patch of their season with three losses in their last five matches across all competitions.

Liverpool are priced at 4/7 by SkyBet to win the match and keep their European title defence alive. Jurgen Klopp’s side will want to get back to winning ways after cup defeats to Chelsea and their Wednesday opponents. However, they are unbeaten in 12 matches at Anfield and will still feel confident in their own abilities.

In attack, Mohamed Salah has been his usual self in Europe with four goals and two assists. He is priced at 11/8 to score anytime.

Atletico Madrid are priced at 6/1 to claim an away victory and knock out the current Champions League champions. The Spanish outfit were well organised in the first leg but face a much tougher test as they visit the Reds at the formidable Anfield. Whilst they are unbeaten in five matches, they have failed to win an away match in six trips and that stat could be telling.

Alvaro Morata is Atletico Madrid’s top scorer in La Liga with eight goals and is priced at 13/5 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Dutch official Danny Makkelie. In the last leg, there were 40 booking points brandished as Liverpool struggled to contain their Spanish counterparts.

Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 2 HD and kicks off at 20:00.

Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Atletico Madrid

– The hosts should do just enough to progress to the next round after a shaky fortnight.

Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick Off: 20:00 GMT

Leicester City will host relegation threatened Aston Villa in Premier League action this Monday night.

The Foxes are in pole position for a Champions League spot by the end of the season, but their recent form must improve quickly. They are winless in their last four league outings. Meanwhile, things are going from bad to worse for Villa who find themselves 19th having suffered three defeats on the trot.

Leicester City are priced at 4/9 by SkyBet to win the match and get back to winning ways. Brendan Rodgers side have not been at the races in recent weeks but are still confident of finishing in the top four. Villa at home promises to be a great chance for the Foxes to get back to winning ways.

Going forward, Jamie Vardy has been Leicester’s main goal threat with 17 in the league this term. He is priced at 5/2 to open the scoring.

Aston Villa are priced at a huge 5/1 to claim a vital away victory as they bid for Premier League survival. Dean Smith’s side are showing some resilience in their performances but need to turn them into results. Their away form has been shocking without a win on the road in five across all competitions.

New signing Mbwana Aly Samatta has given the Villa faithful some hope with some great performances at the spearhead of the attack. He is priced at 13/5 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Michael Oliver. The official has been one of the more lenient in the topflight with an average of 30.5 booking points from his 22 Premier League matches.
