5 Goalscorer Tips Across Europe This Weekend - 19/3/22

In-form Hoffenheim will be looking to put more pressure on the teams above them in the tight race for European football in the Bundesliga. Die Kraichgauer face a trip to the Olympiastadion to take on a struggling Hertha Berlin side on Saturday.

The hosts are in deep trouble in Germany’s top tier, sitting in 17th position at the bottom end of the table and two points adrift of safety. Hertha have lost five Bundesliga games in a row and are winless in their last nine.

Hoffenheim on the other hand are enjoying a good run of form, with four wins in their last five. The only game they didn’t win in that time was against Bayern Munich last weekend, where they came away with a respectable point versus the runaway leaders.

Christoph Baumgartner is in fine form, grabbing the opener against the champions last time out. It was the attacking midfielder’s third goal in his last three games.

The Serie A leaders are in action on Saturday evening and will be looking to maintain their three-point cushion at the top of the league when they face Cagliari away from home.

The hosts are just one place above the relegation zone, with three points separating them from 18th place Venezia. Cagliari have lost two games on the bounce, with the loss last week coming away to another relegation contender in Spezia.

Milan go into the weekend three points clear at the top of Italy’s top tier, but with second-placed Napoli playing two hours earlier, that lead could be wiped away and Stefano Pioli’s men could fall to second before kicking a ball. Milan have won their last two in a row – including the big clash against Napoli two weeks ago.

Rafael Leao is Milan’s joint-top scorer in Serie A this season with eight goals and will fancy his chances of adding to that this weekend.

Fresh from their Champions League triumph in midweek, Atletico Madrid returns to La Liga action aiming to keep their place in the top four when they take on Rayo Vallecano on Saturday evening.

Rayo are 13th in the table, losing six of their last seven league games. Atleti have put a good run together, with four wins in a row in La Liga before their win at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

Joao Felix got the opener in the home leg against Manchester United and has been in good form as of late, with four goals in his last five games in all competitions.

A big game in the Netherlands sees first versus third, as Ajax and Feyenoord lock horns in De Klassieker on Sunday.

Ajax are two points clear of PSV at the top of the Eredivisie, as the race for the title in the Dutch first division heats up. The Amsterdam outfit have won four of their last five in the league. Feyenoord are some way behind in third, eight points off the league leaders after three wins in their last five.

Sebastien Haller has been incredible for Ajax this season, with 19 goals in 23 league games. He can reach the 20 mark with a big goal to open the scoring in Sunday’s crunch game.

PSG can take another step towards being crowned Ligue 1 champions with a win against Monaco on Sunday.

Monaco have been in contention for a European place this season but have fell away somewhat in recent weeks with just one win in their last five. It leaves them eighth and eight points off the top four.

Paris Saint-Germain are comfortably 15 points in front at the top of the table, despite losing twice and winning just three of their last five in Ligue 1.

Kylian Mbappe has been the star for the Parisians, with nobody scoring more Ligue 1 goals than the 23-year-old so far this campaign. Mbappe can make it 16 league goals this weekend.
