Month: January 2022

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>In the first Premier League game since the sacking of Frank Lampard as manager, we are backing the Blues to record a win against struggling opposition

Chelsea welcome Wolves to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening as they look to end what has been a disappointing run of form in the Premier League.

The Blues have won just two of their last eight league matches and Monday saw them part ways with manager Frank Lampard  after 18 months in charge.

Wolves are also on a poor run, with the Black Country outfit winless in their last six matches in the English top-flight and only able to edge past Chorley 1-0 in the FA Cup at the weekend.

Chelsea vs Wolves Latest Odds

Wolves’ last Premier League victory came on December 15 when they beat Chelsea 2-1 at Molineux and another win for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side is priced at 17/4 (5.25) .

The west Londoners, for their part, can be backed at 61/100 (1.61) with the draw offered at 16/5 (4.20) .

Chelsea vs Wolves Team News

Chelsea’s only real injury concern is N’Golo Kante, who has missed the last three weeks with a thigh injury and is unlikely to recover in time.

The visitors are set to be without Daniel Podence, Raul Jimenez, Jonny and Fernando Marcal, whilst new signing Willian Jose will have to wait for his debut with paperwork delaying his arrival in England. 

Chelsea vs Wolves Preview

Chelse have won four league matches at Stamford Bridge this season, with those victories coming against West Ham, Crystal Palace, Leeds United and Sheffield United.

With the exception of the Hammers, all of those sides are in the bottom half of the table and they should have enough to beat a Wolves side who have really lost their way since Jimenez’s skull injury in November.

Indeed, they have lost away to Liverpool, Manchester United, Leicester City and West Ham this season and their previous visit to Stamford Bridge saw them go down 2-0 in July. 

Chelsea vs Wolves Tips and Predictions

The hosts to win and score over 1.5 goals is priced at evens (2.00) and looks like a good way to get the Blues onside, with only one of Chelsea’s last 13 home league wins coming by a 1-0 scoreline.

Barcelona travel to the Estadio Vallecas on Wednesday evening to face Rayo Vallecano in the last-16 of the Copa Del Rey.

Ronald Koeman’s men are aiming to progress in the competition they have won more times than any other team and are clear favourites to claim another victory against their Segunda Division opponents.

Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona Latest Odds

Barca needed extra time to overcome third tier Cornella in the previous round but bet365 price them at 11/25 (1.44) to win in 90 minutes in the Spanish capital on Wednesday.

Rayo had a six-match winning streak ended on Saturday by losing 3-1 at home to Mallorca on Saturday and Andoni Iraola’s side can be backed at 11/2 (6.50) , with the draw at 7/2 (4.50) .

Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona Team News

Lionel Messi is available after serving a two-match suspension following his red card in the Spanish Super Cup and Sergi Roberto could return, but Gerard Pique, Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho are all still out.

Rayo were missing five players with coronavirus at the weekend and are likely to be without an out-and-out striker for the game, while defender Emiliano Velazquez was injured against Mallorca and is unavailable.

Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona Preview

Barca have kept clean sheets in seven of their last 10 away games in all competitions and should be well-fancied to do so again on Wednesday night.

Indeed, Rayo have often lacked a cutting edge in the final third this season and are likely to be missing some key attacking players, potentially furthering their struggles up front.

The side from the Spanish capital may sit fourth in the Segunda Division table but they have failed to score in eight of their 22 league games this season, and are likely to find it tough against a Barcelona team who have only conceded seven La Liga goals in 10 away matches.

Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona Tips and Predictions

Barca to keep a clean sheet is priced at 6/4 (2.50) and looks like an excellent option for the Blaugrana against second division opponents.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Both the Toffees and the Foxes have been strong in front of goal recently and our tipster is backing more action when they meet in the Premier League

Leicester City are looking to make it four Premier League wins in a row when they travel to Goodison Park to face Everton on Wednesday night.

The Foxes are currently third in the division with 12 victories to their name, more than any other side in the top flight, and will be out for revenge after losing the reverse fixture 2-0 in December.

Everton vs Leicester City Latest Odds

bet365 make Leicester slight 31/20 (2.65) favourites to take all three points on Wednesday, having done in so in their previous away outing at Newcastle.

Everton, though, have won five of their last six games in the Premier League but are 9/5 (2.80) outsiders to improve that sequence and potentially move into the top four.

Only one of the last 13 meetings in all competitions between these teams has ended in a draw and the online bookmaker offers 23/10 (3.30) on a stalemate in this one.

Everton vs Leicester City Team News

Alex Iwobi and Lucas Digne missed Everton’s FA Cup win at the weekend but should be back for this one, although Allan, Fabian Delph, Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Niels Nkounkou are all out.

Leicester have been dealt a big blow with Jamie Vardy being ruled out for at least two weeks after a minor hernia operation, joining Dennis Praet and Wes Morgan on the sidelines.

Everton vs Leicester City Preview

Whilst the loss of Vardy will no doubt put a thorn in the plans of Brendan Rodgers, last season’s Golden Boot winner has not actually scored any of Leicester’s last 10 goals since netting on December 20.

The Foxes have scored twice in five of their last six Premier League games, as well as seven times across their two FA Cup games during that time, and even without Vardy they will be confident of striking against a Toffees defence with only one clean sheet in their last four.

Going forward, though, Everton are one of the most prolific sides in the top flight with a goal in all but three of their 17 outings; only Manchester City have scored in a higher percentage of games this season.

Everton vs Leicester City Tips and Predictions

With that in mind, the 4/5 (1.80) quote from bet365 on both teams to score looks a decent selection for this Premier League clash between two strong attacking teams.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Reds struggling for cutting edge and Mourinho preferring to keep things tight in big matches, Al Hain-Cole can't see many goals on Thursday

Tottenham will be aiming to move past Liverpool in the Premier League table when the sides meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday.

Spurs come into this clash a point adrift of the champions and enjoying an eight-match unbeaten streak in all competitions.

Tottenham vs Liverpool Latest Odds

However, they remain 23/10 (3.30) outsiders with bet365 to come out on top against a team they have not beaten in seven encounters.

Jurgen Klopp’s team is in freefall after claiming just three points from the last available 15 in the league but are available at 11/10 (2.10) to get back on track with a big win here.

Three of the guests’ last five league fixtures have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them claiming a single point yet again.

Tottenham vs Liverpool Team News

Matt Doherty, Dele Alli and Ben Davies will all face late fitness tests, while Giovani Lo Celso is definitely ruled out.

Jordan Henderson should return after missing the last two matches with a muscle injury and Joel Matip could feature, although Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Naby Keita and Diogo Jota all remain sidelined.

Tottenham vs Liverpool Preview

Having moved top of the league with a home win over this opposition before thrashing Crystal Palace three days later to secure first place at Christmas, the Reds have effectively imploded since then.

Without a win in five league matches, they have also scored just once in that period and failed to find the net in any of the most recent four games.

With seven clean sheets to their name in the last 10 matches in their own backyard, Jose Mourinho’s men will certainly back themselves to cause more frustration for such out-of-sorts visitors.

However, they are unlikely to open themselves up too much despite their superior form, instead sticking to the type of counter-attacking game plan that has seen them beat Manchester City 2-0, Arsenal 2-0 and draw 0-0 away to Chelsea this campaign.

Tottenham vs Liverpool Tips and Predictions

With this in mind, odds of 11/10 (2.10)  seem generous on under 2.5 goals being scored for Liverpool’s sixth consecutive league game, as well as a fifth in six on home turf for Tottenham.

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

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having hit the net in several high-profile matches already this season, Al Hain-Cole thinks the South Korean star offers strong value against the Reds

After four Premier League games without a goal, Liverpool are in desperate need of inspiration when they travel to take on Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday.

Having scored twice in Sunday’s FA Cup defeat to Manchester United, Mohamed Salah looks the Reds’ best bet to open the scoring at 3/1 (4.00) with bet365.

The Egypt international has actually struck six times in nine previous matches against Spurs – finding the net in three of the most recent four – so it is unsurprising that he is the 5/6 (1.83) anytime favourite at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In contrast, Sadio Mane does not inspire much confidence at 13/10 (2.30) after scoring just twice in his last 14 appearances in the league.

Similarly, Roberto Firmino’s return of five goals in 28 fixtures all season is unlikely to attract much interest in his 15/8 (2.88) anytime price despite his late winner in December’s reverse encounter at Anfield.

For Spurs, Jose Mourinho is able to call upon a number of attacking players enjoying a rich vein of form, with Harry Kane the pick of the bunch.

On target in each of his last three league games to make it 19 for the season in all competitions, the club captain looks a strong first goalscorer bet at 10/3 (4.33) – not to mention 10/11 (1.91) anytime.

However, Son Heung-Min looks an even better bet at 15/8 (2.88) anytime considering he has matched Kane’s 12 league goals so far this campaign.

What’s more, the South Korea star grabbed his side’s goal in the trip to Anfield and is always a major asset in such fixtures, underlined by strikes against Manchester City, Arsenal and two versus Manchester United already this campaign.

Having endured a slow start to life in England, Tanguy Ndombele is starting to justify the club record fee Tottenham paid to bring the Lyon midfielder to North London – hitting the back of the net three times in his last six appearances.

With this in mind, he could offer strong value at long 7/1 (8.00) odds to fire past a struggling Liverpool team in Thursday’s big match.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>These two sides have already played out two thrilling encounters in 2021 and we are backing them to serve up another entertaining clash this weekend

Barcelona welcome Athletic Club to Camp Nou on Sunday for what will be the third clash between these two sides in January.

The Catalans won 3-2 in the league on January 6, while the Basques won by the same scoreline after extra-time in the Spanish Super Cup final two weeks ago.

Barcelona vs Athletic Club Latest Odds

Ronald Koeman’s side have won just four of their last eight home matches in La Liga and bet365 offer them at 2/5 (1.40).

Athletic, for their part, have enjoyed a strong run since Marcelino took over as manager and their last league game saw them beat Getafe 5-1, their biggest La Liga win for four years.

The visitors are priced at 13/2 (7.50) with the draw at 4/1 (5.00).

Barcelona vs Athletic Club Team News

The Blaugrana have Sergio Busquets suspended, while Gerard Pique, Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho are all still out injured.

Sergi Roberto is nearing a return to full fitness and it remains to be seen whether he makes the matchday squad.

Athletic, meanwhile, could be without defender Inigo Martinez after he missed the midweek Copa del Rey game with Alcoyano.

Barcelona vs Athletic Club Preview

Despite the Spanish Super Cup disappointment at the hands of Athletic, Barca’s form since the turn of the year has improved, particularly in La Liga where they have won four consecutive matches.

Their Basque opponents on Sunday are also on an upward trajectory and a victory in Catalonia for Athletic would further reignite a season that looked like drifting into mid-table obscurity.

The two matches these sides have contested this month have produced 10 goals and there should be a great deal of interest in backing another encounter with plenty of action.

Athletic have scored in each of their last five away league games, including at both Real Madrid and Villarreal, while Barca have scored in 54 of their last 55 La Liga encounters at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona vs Athletic Club Tips And Predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is offered at the healthy looking price of evens (2.00) and has comfortably paid out in the their previous two meetings in January.

You can watch La Liga live on the go with your iPhone, iPad or Android device through your bet365 account.

All you need is a funded account or to have placed a bet in the last 24 hours to qualify.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Blues were frustrated by Wolves and Al Hain-Cole thinks Thomas Tuchel's side could be in for more of the same against the Clarets

Thomas Tuchel will be hoping to secure his first win as Chelsea manager when Burnley visit Stamford Bridge in Saturday’s Premier League clash.

The former Paris Saint-Germain boss oversaw a frustrating 0-0 draw at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers in his first game in charge on Wednesday.

Chelsea vs Burnley latest odds

However, his side are clear 1/3 (1.33) favourites with bet365 to get off the mark with a sixth win in seven against this opposition.

The Clarets come into this match on the back of a three-game winning streak and are available at 17/2 (9.50) to cause an upset by coming out on top in west London.

Two of the hosts’ last three home games in the league have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 4/1 (5.00) on them being held to another stalemate in this one.

Chelsea vs Burnley team news

N’Golo Kante is available once again after returning to training following a hamstring injury, giving the new boss a fully fit squad to choose from.

Josh Brownhill will face a late fitness test after being forced off in Tuesday’s victory over Aston Villa, while Charlie Taylor is also doubtful.

Chelsea vs Burnley preview

After starting his Premier League career with a frustrating 90 minutes against Wolves, the Blues’ German boss is unlikely to find things too much easier against another tough opponent.

Sean Dyche’s men are in confident spirits after successive league wins over Liverpool and high-flying Villa, and have only conceded eight goals in their last 12 matches in all competitions.

On current form, they will certainly back themselves to make life difficult for a home side that has found the net just five times in six matches in the league and only twice in three attempts on home turf.

On the other hand, it is hard to see the guests posing too much of a threat at the other end of the pitch after finding the net just twice in eight league away games and only five times in 10 in total – a league low.

Chelsea vs Burnley predictions

All things considered, odds of 11/10 (2.10) are not to be missed on Burnley ensuring under 2.5 goals for their ninth league game in 11 and Chelsea’s fifth in six.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The most prolific team in the Premier League visit the London Stadium this weekend and we are backing a high scoring encounter in east London

Liverpool travel to the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon to face West Ham with Jurgen Klopp’s men aiming to pick up three more Premier League points in the capital.

Thursday evening saw the Reds record a 3-1 win at Tottenham, a result which ended a five-match winless streak in the league and lifted them above West Ham in the table. 

West Ham vs Liverpool Latest Odds

David Moyes’ men are unbeaten since December 21 and have won each of their last six matches in all competitions.

The hosts can be backed at 10/3 (4.33) with bet365 on Sunday while the visitors are available at 3/4 (1.75) and the draw at 3/1 (4.00).

West Ham vs Liverpool Team News

The Premier League champions are still missing long-term absentees Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Diogo Jota and Naby Keita.

Joel Matip sustained ankle ligament damage in the win over Tottenham to leave Klopp with more problems in defence, while Fabinho missed the game with a knock and is being assessed.

The Hammers have no major injury concerns heading into the game, with substitute goalkeeper Darren Randolph the only player missing.

West Ham vs Liverpool Preview

The victory in north London not only ended Liverpool’s winless streak, but it also put to an end their 486-minute Premier League goal drought.

Despite that run, the Merseysiders remain the division’s top scorers, although Sunday sees them face a West Ham side with a strong defensive record.

Only three teams have conceded fewer goals than the Hammers at home this season, although a closer look at the statistics show that the east Londoners have regularly let in goals in their own stadium.

They may have avoided any large home defeats, but West Ham have kept just three clean sheets in their 10 home league matches this term.

At the other end of the pitch, they have netted in all but their opening home game of the season and backing goals at the London Stadium has proved a regular winning selection this season.

West Ham vs Liverpool Tips And Predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 4/6 (1.66) while combining this selection with over 2.5 goals sees the price rise to evens (2.00) which looks like an appealing bet.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Spurs missing the match-winning abilities of Kane, Al Hain-Cole thinks they could be the latest side to settle for a point against Potter's men

Tottenham will be aiming to bounce back from defeat when they travel to the Amex Stadium to take on Brighton in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

Jose Mourinho’s men were beaten 3-1 at home to Liverpool on Thursday, bringing an end to their eight-match unbeaten run in all competitions.

Brighton vs Tottenham latest odds

Spurs are 11/8 (2.38) favourites with bet365 to return to form with a fifth victory in six against this opposition.

Only Arsenal and Manchester City have beaten the Seagulls in their last 10 fixtures, and they are available at 2/1 (3.00) to pull off an upset by coming out on top here.

Five of the hosts’ last eight league matches have resulted in draws, and there are odds of 12/5 (3.40) on offer on them playing out yet another stalemate in this one.

Brighton vs Tottenham team news

Tariq Lamptey, Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Jose Izquierdo, Danny Welbeck and Florin Andone are all injury doubts for the home side.

Harry Kane is unlikely to feature after being forced off with an ankle injury against Liverpool, while Giovani Lo Celso is ruled out, and Dele Alli and Sergio Reguilon are doubtful.

Brighton vs Tottenham preview

Kane’s absence would be a massive blow for a Spurs side that has relied upon his and Son Heung-Min’s partnership for 24 of their 34 league goals so far this campaign – with the captain also providing a league-high 11 assists.

It could prove particularly damaging in Sussex considering their frustrations on the road in recent league matches, having won just once in five away games and failed to score more than a single goal in four of those.

Graham Potter’s men have also struggled to grab decisive goals and turn one point into three this season, playing out six draws in their last eight league fixtures in their own backyard.

Brighton vs Tottenham predictions

With Tottenham having drawn three of their last five away in the league and likely to be missing one of their main match-winners, those 12/5 (3.40) odds could prove a smart investment on them being forced to settle for a point against a Brighton team that has drawn at least two more matches than any other Premier League outfit.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Camp Nou outfit head to the south of Spain in strong form and we are backing them to progress to the semi-finals of the Copa Del Rey this week

Barcelona travel to the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes on Wednesday evening to face Granada in the quarter-final of the Copa Del Rey as Ronald Koeman’s side aim to continue their domination in Spain’s domestic cup competition.

The Catalans have lifted the trophy on 30 occasions, winning four of the last six editions on the tournament, and face a Granada side who are aiming to make the semi-finals for a second successive year. 

Granada vs Barcelona Latest Odds

Barca recorded a comfortable 4-0 win when they visited this ground at the start of January in La Liga and bet365 offer another success for the Blaugrana at 13/20 (1.65).

Including the defeat last month, Diego Martinez’s side have lost just two of their last 12 home domestic matches and a home win is priced at 15/4 (4.75) and the draw at 3/1 (4.00).

Granada vs Barcelona Team News

The visitors remain without long-term absentees Gerard Pique, Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho, whilst Sergino Dest was absent for Sunday’s win over Athletic Club and could miss out again, although Sergio Busquets should return having been suspended at the weekend.

Granda are missing Maxim Gonalons, Quini, Neyder Lozano and influential midfielder Luis Milla.

Granada vs Barcelona Preview

Barca are four wins away from lifting a trophy, something which at times has seemed highly unlikely during this most turbulent of seasons.

Things are starting to click at just the right time for Koeman’s men, who have won five consecutive La Liga matches for the first time since October 2019, and they are likely to take Wednesday night’s match extremely seriously.

Having recorded their biggest away win of the season in Granada three weeks ago, there must surely be plenty of interest in backing Barca to pick up another victory against opponents who are beginning to look a little tired.

This will be the 35th match of the season for Diego Martinez’s team given their Europa League campaign and they are unlikely to be able to keep up with an in-form Blaugrana side.

Granada vs Barcelona Tips and Predictions

Barcelona to win and score over 1.5 goals is priced at 20/21 (1.98) and has paid out in four of the Catalans’ last five visits to the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes.
