5 Goalscorer Tips Across Europe This Weekend - 16/4/22

One of Serie A’s form sides in Lazio welcome a mid-table Torino outfit to the Stadio Olimpico this weekend as the hosts look to continue their push for European football next season.

Maurizio Sarri’s side has four wins from five and currently occupies the final European spot, however, rivals Fiorentina and Atalanta sit within four points of Lazio both having a game in hand. Winning just once in the past five, visitors Torino have little left to play for this season, being well clear of any relegation threat whilst simultaneously out of contention for Europe.

Lazio forward Ciro Immobile leads Italy’s scoring charts with 24 goals, likely eager to return to action after netting a hat-trick against Genoa last weekend. We expect Sarri’s side to win in style, and Immobile to be the chief threat as usual, priced at 5/2 to score 2+ goals.

Espanyol travel to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium this Sunday as La Liga’s reigning champions continue their quest for Champions League football next season.

Atletico Madrid has four wins from five, however, will be disappointed at defeat last time out to relegation-threatened Mallorca as Diego Simeone’s side lost ground on rivals Barcelona and Real Betis. Visitors Espanyol sit mid-table in 11th, well clear of any relegation threat, however too far out to challenge for the European spots effectively playing for placement at this point the season.

Portuguese forward Joao Felix has been amongst the goals lately, scoring four times in his last five league appearances. Of these goals, three have come within the first five minutes, each breaking the deadlock in their respective games. With Felix’s tendency to fly out the blocks recently, we back the forward to start well against Espanyol, priced at 11/2 to score first.

Liga Nos’s league-leaders Porto welcome Portimonense to the Estadio do Dragao this weekend as the hosts look to continue their recent stellar form.

Sergio Conceicao’s side are six points clear of Sporting CP at the top, and with five wins from five show no signs of slowing down any time soon. Despite winning last time out, the visitors are in atrocious form, losing their previous four leaving them 12th heading into this one.

Throughout Porto’s current winning streak, attacking midfielder Fabio Vieira has been amongst the action, netting four times in his last five games. Considering his recent goal-scoring prowess, he will be eager to face a Portimonense side with just one clean sheet in 15, hence at 21/10, our tip for this one is Vieira to score anytime.

Following a shock Champions League exit to Villareal, Bayern Munich will look to return to winning ways when facing relegation-threatened Arminia Bielefeld this weekend.

After a small blip in form, with three wins from their last three Bundesliga games, it looks only a matter of time before Bayern are crowned champions for the tenth consecutive year.

In contrast, hosts Arminia could be set for an immediate return to Germany’s second division, currently sitting 15th in a three-way relegation/ play-off battle with VfB Stuttgart and Hertha Berlin. Frank Kramer’s side has lost four of their past five, including 4-0 defeats to Wolfsburg and Mainz in two of the last three matchdays, likely dreading welcome champions-elect Bayern Munich.

Polish forward Robert Lewandowski’s 32 goals sees him well clear at the top of the Bundesliga scoring charts and is in fine fettle with five goals in his last four. Julian Nagelsmann’s side will likely ease by their opposition at the weekend, and we back Lewandowski to be at the forefront of the action priced at 11/10 to score 2+ goals.

Ligue 1 heavyweights PSG and Marseille meet at the Parc des Princes this weekend as Mauricio Pochettino’s side aim to take a step closer to reclaiming the title.

With three wins and two losses in their last five, the Parisians can be considered “out of form”, however, consecutive 5-1 and 6-1 victories in the last two weeks suggests they have rediscovered their finesse. Visitors Marseille sit second, although come into this one off the back of a successful trip to Greece in the Europa Conference League which could be tiresome for the squad.

In recent weeks, PSG’s star-studded frontline has been clinical, with both Neymar and Mbappe on the scoresheet in three of their last four fixtures. Given their explosive form of late, we expect the Parisians to dominate this one and win comfortably, with our tip Mbappe and Neymar both to score at 13/5.
