5 Goalscorer Tips Across Europe This Weekend - 2/4/22

A top-four clash takes place in the Bundesliga on Saturday evening as second-place Dortmund hosts fourth in the table RB Leipzig.

Borussia Dortmund have had chance after chance in clawing back Bayern Munich, but dropped points like last time out in a 1-1 draw against Koln, leaving Dortmund six points behind the champions. A win is a must here, so knowing that they’ve only dropped six points at home all season will give BVB confidence.

After a shocking start to the season, losing just once in their last ten has lifted Die Rotten Bulls into the Champions League places. Christopher Nkunku has been a massive help for RB as well, netting six times in Leipzig’s last seven games.

Dortmund’s leaky defence, behind the likes of mid-table Bochum, means Nkunku will fancy his chances here.

One of the biggest games in world football takes place Sunday lunchtime as champions Rangers take on leaders Celtic in the Old Firm.

Draws have been the problem for Rangers this season. Dropping points against worse teams such as Motherwell and Ross County has meant the champions have fallen behind arch-rivals Celtic.

Kemar Roofe has been in decent form for Rangers and will likely fill in for the injured Alfredo Morelos. The former Leeds man has scored 11 in 27 appearances so far this campaign, averaging a goal every 117 minutes.

Celtic have been the in-form team in Scotland and will have fond memories of their last meeting against Rangers. Triumphing 3-0 against their Glasgow enemies, Celtic will have the confidence they can achieve a successive win. Winning at Ibrox has proved a challenge for the Bhoys in Green, winning just one of their last seven visits.

It’s the Derby D’Italia on Sunday evening as vastly improving Juventus hosts champions Inter Milan in Turin.

Juventus have been unstoppable in Serie A since December. Following their 1-0 loss to Atalanta in November, no team has managed to get three points against the Old Lady.

Dusan Vlahovic has replicated his form with Fiorentina for Juve, scoring four goals so far and remaining the joint top goalscorer in Serie A with 21 goals.

Inter Milan’s title defence has really hit the buffers recently, one win in seven has left Inter trailing city rivals, AC Milan, by six points. The Nerazzurri do still have a game in hand, but they will know that they can’t afford any more slip-ups. Revenge will also be on the cards, after letting a win slip out of their grasp at San Siro when Paulo Dybala equalised in the 89th minute.

Simone Inzaghi’s side may have the second-best defence in the league, but it would be foolish to bet against Vlahovic this season.

Runaway leaders PSG will look to turn their form around as they host relegation-threatened Lorient at the Parc Des Princes.

Mauricio Pochettino is facing a crisis in the French capital right now. Bowing out of the Champions League was unacceptable. Losing three out of their last five league games is unheard of. Monaco thrashed the Parisians 3-0 before the international break. Kylian Mbappe has been one of their only shining lights, netting four in his last four games in all competitions.

Lorient will be hoping that second season syndrome isn’t starting to affect the northwestern side. Inconsistencies mean that Les Merlus can’t escape the relegation fight, sitting just two points ahead of 18th placed Saint-Etienne. Wins against rivals Clermont and Brest will give them hope that a third season in Ligue 1 is on the cards.

PSG will know they have got the league title all but sewn up, but Mbappe will want to keep his good personal record up. Expect no taking the foot off the gas here.

Two of the best teams go head-to-head at the Nou Camp on Sunday night as third-place Barcelona host second in La Liga, Sevilla.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revitalised his career ever since escaping North London and moving to Catalunya. Seven goals in seven league games since his arrival shows that the former Gunner is back to his brilliant best. This has coincided with Barca’s brilliant form, culminating in the 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid in El Clasico.

Two wins in eight league games has all but assured that Sevilla won’t win their first league title since 1946. Despite being unbeaten in this time, Los Nervionenses have been unable to capitalise on Real Madrid’s blunders. In those eight games, top scorer, Rafa Mir, has only scored twice, highlighting Sevilla’s problem of finding the back of the net.

Barcelona can go level on points with second-placed Sevilla on Sunday and with Aubameyang back to his brilliant best, the Gabonese striker could get a brace in this one.
