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.

Match Betting Preview - RB Leipzig vs Tottenham Hotspur. Tuesday 10th March 2020, UEFA Champions League - Red Bull Arena. Live on BT Sport 2 – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT.

RB Leipzig vs Tottenham Hotspur
Tuesday 10th March 2020
UEFA Champions League – Red Bull Arena.

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

RB Leipzig host Tottenham Hotspur in the second leg of their Champions League round of sixteen tie on Tuesday night.

The German side head into Tuesday night’s encounter in the driving seat following their 1-0 win at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium three weeks ago.

If Spurs are to overturn the one goal deficit, they will have to do what only two sides have done this season and win at the Red Bull arena. Julian Nagelsmann’s side have lost only twice on home soil in all competitions, including once in this season’s group stage against Lyon.

Jose Mourinho’s Spurs side are without a win in their last five, and in that time have been dumped out of the FA Cup following last week’s defeat on penalties to Norwich. Spurs’ have also struggled on the road this season and have won only one of their last eight away from home. In this seasons group stage, Spurs won one of their three away matches.

Timo Werner netted the only goal in the first leg from the penalty spot and has scored 21 times in the Bundesliga for Leipzig this season. The German is priced at 5/6 to find the back of the net on SkyBet.

Jose Mourinho’s job to get Spurs into Europe was a tough ask when he took the job, and it has been made progressively harder due to injury woes. January signing Steven Bergwijn has joined forwards Harry Kane and Son Hyeung-Min on the sidelines for the foreseeable future with a suspected ankle injury. Responsibility falls onto the shoulders of Lucas Moura, who was Spurs’ saviour in the Champions League last season.

The man in the middle is Carlos del Cerro Grande from Spain. The 43-year old has awarded eight yellow cards in his four UCL matches this campaign. The first leg was a fiery encounter which produced six yellow cards. This considered, as well as the magnitude of this encounter I would recommend a minimum of 40+ booking points for this one.

RB Leipzig vs Tottenham Hotspur will be televised live in the UK live on Sky Sports Football HD.

Leicester City vs Aston Villa
Monday 9th March
 2020
FA Premier League, King Power Stadium

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.

Leicester City vs Aston Villa will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 20:00.

Prediction: Leicester City 1-1 Aston Villa 

– The hosts are not firing on all cylinders whilst the visitors are fighting for their lives. Will be close.

Manchester United vs Manchester City
Sunday 8th March 2020
FA Premier League, Old Trafford.

Live on Sky Sport Main Event, Kick-Off: 16:30 GMT.

Manchester United return to Old Trafford this weekend as they host Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday teatime.

Both Manchester clubs have displayed a good level of consistency in recent weeks, which has seen them have success in the Premier League, as well as on their European excursions. United cruised to a 6-1 aggregate win over Club Brugge in the Europe League a week ago and qualified for the Round of 16. Meanwhile City will take a 2-1 lead to the Etihad in the second leg of their Champions League tie against Real Madrid, following victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.

In the Premier League, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are unbeaten in their last four, and have risen as high as 5th where they trail 4th placed Chelsea by only three points.

Pep Guardiola’s side have distanced themselves and 3rd placed Leicester by opening up a seven-point deficit with a game in hand. City do still trail Liverpool by 22 points, and only four more wins would seal the title for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Manchester United won the earlier meeting in the league between these sides, winning 2-1 at the Etihad. Sunday’s meeting will be the fourth time these two sides have met this season following a two-legged affair in the Carabao cup semi-final, the competition which City won a week ago with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa. United have won two of the three meetings this season between the two, both at the Etihad.

A win on Sunday for United would seal a Premier League double over their Manchester rivals, something they haven’t done since 2009.

Mike Dean is the man in this middle for this one, and has been one of the harsher match officials this season, averaging just under five yellow cards per game in the Premier League. Dean took charge of the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Old Trafford between these two where he awarded five yellow cards in City’s 3-1 win.

Manchester United vs Manchester City will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier Main Event HD with kick off at 16:30 GMT.

Chelsea vs Everton
Sunday 8th March 2020
FA Premier League, Stamford Bridge

Live on Sky Sports Main Event HD – Kick Off: 14:00 GMT

Chelsea will host Everton in Premier League action this Sunday afternoon.

The hosts have a tight race for the top four places going into the business end of the season and currently sit in fourth – pole position. They made up for a poor run in the league with a 2-0 FA Cup win over Liverpool during the week. Meanwhile, Everton have been slowly climbing the table since Carlo Ancelotti’s arrival but have failed to win their last two matches.

Chelsea are priced at 5/6 by SkyBet to win the match and build on from their impressive victory over Liverpool in the cup. Whilst the Blues have had a great first season under Frank Lampard’s management, they have failed to make Stamford Bridge a fortress. They have only claimed six points from their last five matches but will be brimming in confidence after their cup win.

Brazilian winger Willian has had an impressive stretch of performances and will have more responsibilities in goal with Tammy Abraham absent. He scored against Liverpool in midweek and is priced at 3/1 to score anytime.

Everton are priced at 3/1 to claim an away victory as they try to chase down the pack fighting it out for European football next season. The Toffees are in decent form with just one loss from their last seven in the league. However, they never like travelling to Chelsea. They are winless in 24 Premier League visits so history could repeat itself once more.

In attack, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is enjoying the best season of his career and has 13 league goals so far this term. He is priced at 7/5 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Kevin Friend. The official has been less lenient than others this season and has an average of 37.1 booking points from his 19 topflight matches.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event HD and kicks off at 14:00.

Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Everton 

– This should be a close match-up, but the hosts have a little more quality all over the pitch.

Saturday 7th 
March 2020
The Championship, Ashton Gate

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 12:30 GMT

Bristol City will play host to promotion hopefuls Fulham in SkyBet Championship action this Saturday lunchtime.

The hosts are having a torrid time of late without a win in four matches and suffered three defeats on the trot. They are still in the picture for the play-offs but need to turn their fortunes round quickly. Meanwhile, Fulham are proving to be the real deal as they remain in touching distance of the top two places held by West Brom and Leeds United.

Bristol City are priced at 12/5 to win the match by SkyBet and put an end to their poor form in the second division. The Robins have well and truly stalled in their season. They are without a win or a clean sheet in six league matches. Lee Johnson’s side have also struggled in front of goal with just two netted in their last four matches.

Nahki Wells, who joined in January after time at QPR, has been impressive across the campaign and now has 14 goals to his name. He is priced at 2/1 to score anytime.

Fulham are priced at 11/10 to claim a vital victory on the road as they cement their place in the top six. The Londoners are having a great season under Scott Parker’s regime and boast a great away record. They are unbeaten in six matches on the road and have one of the most deadly strikers in the league.

Aleksander Mitrovic has continued to prove why he is too good for the second division with 23 goals this season. He is priced at 6/5 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be David Coote. The official has not been too involved in the Championship this season with just seven matches in charge but has averaged a huge 48.9 booking points from those matches.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 12:30.

Prediction: Bristol City 1-2 Fulham

– This should be a tight match and the visitors have plenty of match winners in their side.

Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur
Saturday 7th March 2020.
FA Premier League, Turf Moor.

Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-off: 17:30 GMT.

Burnley return to Turf Moor this weekend when they host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Both sides are lurking around one another in the league, and only two points separate Spurs in 7th, to Burnley in 9th.

Sean Dyche’s sides form since Christmas has been sublime and has put daylight between his side and the relegation zone; before Christmas, regelation looked a genuine possibility for the Clarets. Since Christmas, Burnley have lost three times which is the same amount of games they lost in December alone. Burnley are unbeaten in their last six matches, and in that time have beaten Manchester United and Leicester. Dyche’s side will head into Saturday’s encounter brimming with confidence.

Jose Mourinho’s Spurs side are without a win in all competitions since the middle of February, and have lost four on the bounce. Norwich dumped them out of the FA Cup on Wednesday night on penalties, and they face an uphill battle to stay in the Champions League, following their first-leg defeat to RB Leipzig two weeks ago. There is a feeling of disappointment surrounding Spurs currently.

Spurs head into Saturday’s clash with a tremendous record in this fixture, and have lost once to Burnley since 2014. Spurs have won seven of the last eleven meetings, including a 5-0 rout in December at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Burnley’s last win came last season, where they were victorious 2-1 at Turf Moor.

The referee for this clash is Jonathan Moss. The 49-year old has taken charge of nineteen Premier League this season and has awarded sixty-nine yellow cards in his nineteen appearances this season. I would recommend a minimum of 30+ booking points for Saturday evening’s clash.

Since the turn of the year Spurs are tied with West Ham, Aston Villa and Bournemouth for the most defeats in all competitions in 2020 (6). SkyBet have priced Burnley at 13/8 to win on Saturday evening.

Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 17:30.

Liverpool vs Bournemouth
Saturday 7th March 2020
FA Premier League, Anfield.

Live on BT Sport 1/Ultimate. Kick-off: 12:30pm GMT.

Liverpool return to Premier League action this weekend as they host Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday lunchtime.

Jurgen Klopp’s side will be desperate to get back on track following three defeats in their last four matches. Last weekend’s defeat to Watford ended the reds’ hopes of Premier League invincibility this season, but a win on Saturday would mean three more wins is all it wold take to get their hands on the Premier League title.

Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth side on the other hand find themselves in a battle to avoid relegation and sit 18th. The Cherries are one of three sides on 27 points but occupy the third relegation spot due to their inferior goal difference.

Bournemouth have won only twice in the Premier League this year and have lost six of their ten matches in the Premier League since Christmas. Eddie Howe’s side have shipped seven goals in their last three games and face the near impossible task of shutting out the second highest scorers in the division on Saturday. They will however take confidence from Liverpool’s current form, as they’ve failed to score in their last two games on the bounce.

Liverpool have won the last five consecutive meetings in this fixture, and won the most recent clash 3-0 back in December. Bournemouth’s only win in this fixture came in December 2016 at the Vitality Stadium. The Cherries have never won at Anfield.

Paul Tierney is the referee for this one, and has averaged three yellow cards per game in his nineteen appearances in the Premier League. For Saturdays encounter, I would recommend a minimum of 20+ booking points.

Mohamed Salah has a 100% scoring record against Bournemouth in the Premier League, scoring seven times in his five appearances against the Cherries. SkyBet have Salah at 12/5 to open the scoring on Saturday lunchtime.

Liverpool vs Bournemouth will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 1 with kick off at 12:30 PM.

Nottingham Forest vs Millwall
Friday 6th March
 2020
The Championship, City Ground

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 19:45 GMT

Nottingham Forest will host Millwall in SkyBet Championship action this Friday night.

The hosts are on a four-game unbeaten run and are aiming to cement their place in the top six places for the play-offs. Automatic promotion seems highly unlikely. Meanwhile, Millwall still find themselves in the mad hunt for a play-off place but it is likely they will just fall short and are not in the best form.

Nottingham Forest are priced at 13/10 by SkyBet to win the match and continue their impressive unbeaten run in the league. Sabri Lamouchi’s side are kicking into gear at the right time of the season. They are a rather industrious side, with moments of flair in attack but they base themselves off being hard to defeat. They have kept two clean sheets in their last three home matches.

In attack, striker Lewis Grabban got back to scoring ways with a crucial goal in their 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough. He has 17 goals this season and is priced at 8/5 to score anytime.

Millwall are priced at 9/4 to claim a shock victory away at home and their first three points in four matches. The Lions are definitely still in their den as we enter the crucial end of the season. The London-based club have not impressed in recent weeks and are struggling to create in front of goal.

Attacker Jed Wallace has been Millwall’s main goal threat with 10 goals and 9 assists this term. He is priced at 5/2 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Geoff Eltringham. The official has been no-nonsense this season with an average of 40.6 booking points from his 18 Championship matches in charge.

Nottingham Forest vs Millwall will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-0 Millwall

– The hosts are in good form and are trying to cement a top six finish. Their quality should be too much.

Middlesbrough vs Nottingham Forest
Monday 2nd March 2020.
SkyBet Championship. The Riverside.

Live on Sky Sports Football. Kick-off: 19:45 GMT

Middlesbrough host Nottingham Forest in the latest instalment of Monday night football in the SkyBet Championship.

Both sides are battling at both ends of the table, and a positive result on Monday evening will enhance either sides bid to achieve their targets between now and the end of the season.

Middlesbrough find themselves stuck in a relegation battle. Johnathan Woodgate’s side sit just above the relegation zone on goal difference alone. The eleven matches between now and the end of the season are huge, and could have a say on his future, as well as Middlesbrough’s.

Nottingham Forest still have faint hopes of sealing their spot in the automatic promotion places- which they currently trail by six points. Sabri Lamouchi’s side are 4th in the division and securing a play-off spot will be their primary aim.

Middlesbrough have failed to win in their last eleven matches in all competitions and have won only once this year. Boro have lost four of their last five and have a tremendous amount of work to do if they are to avoid the drop.

Forest on the other hand are unbeaten in their last three, but if they are to grab 2nd spot, they need to start winning games again. Their win over Cardiff on Monday night was their first in the last three following their blip at the beginning of the month, where they lost two in three.

Forest have won four of the last six meetings between these two. The last meeting in this fixture produces a 1-1 draw at the City Ground in December.

Thiago Silva has scores in two of Forest’s last three away matches, and is priced at 6/1 to score anytime in this fixture on SkyBet.

The referee for this clash is Darren England. England has averaged just over three yellow cards per fixture in his eighteen Championship fixtures this season. This considered, I would recommend a minimum of 20+ booking points for this clash.

Middlesbrough vs Nottingham Forest will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Football HD with kick-off 19:45.
