Coming into this fixture, Bayer Leverkusen should be brimming with confidence as they sit one point off the league leaders, Bayern Munich, in third place. So far this season, the Company’s Eleven are unbeaten in the German Bundesliga after eight games played and are on a current win streak of four games in all competitions. A win here on Sunday is needed if Peter Bosz’s men are to stay in the running for the title.

Hertha Berlin approach this fixture in abysmal form, with two wins all season whilst suffering five defeats. This has placed Bruno Labbadia’s men in 13th position, only three points off the relegation zone on a goal difference of -1.

One player who has been outstanding for Leverkusen this season is Argentinian striker, Lucas Alario. In his last five Bundesliga fixtures, he has netted seven goals including three braces, whilst the Argentine is also Bosz’s top scorer in the side and the fourth-highest in the league. With his incredible form coming into this fixture, he should be fully confident to score in this clash.

As of now, odds for Lucas Alario to score and Bayer Leverkusen to win is priced at 15/8.

Approaching this match, Atletico Madrid should be extremely confident as they are unbeaten in seven matches and are unbeaten in the La Liga, as they sit in second place on 20 points with two games in hand. As well as this, for the first time in 10 years, Diego Simeone’s side has claimed a victory over Barcelona in their most recent La Liga fixture despite having no Luis Suarez.

Valencia this season have performed admirably with three wins and four defeats in 10 games as they sit ninth in the league on 12 points. In the last five games, Valencia has drawn two and lost two, however, the win came against Real Madrid by a scoreline of 4-1 with Carlos Soler netting a hat-trick.

With Atletico Madrid’s dominance in the league this season, they should be able to take a victory against wavering Valencia. Although, without Suarez, who is a doubt, Simeone’s side may struggle to find the net as shown with one goal in two games played since his absence.

Currently, odds for Atletico Madrid to win by a scoreline of 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 is priced at 13/8.

Nantes come into this match with two wins in their last five matches with one defeat suffered against Paris Saint-Germain. As of now, the Canaries are in 14th position in Ligue 1 after 11 games played with 13 points gained. Although they are eight places behind opponents Marseille, Chrisitan Gourcuff’s men have a strong record in this fixture with three wins and a draw in the last four occasions with the last head-to-head ending 1-3 to Nantes.

In the last five matches, Marseille have struggled as they have suffered three defeats and gained two victories. Although, all three of their defeats have come in the Champions League where they have suffered four losses. In the league, Andre Villas-Boas are unbeaten in six games with the most recent three being wins for his side.

Although Marseille are being predicted as favourites in this fixture, it could be said that Nantes have the upper hand as of their record in this match. More than likely this game won’t be hugely high scoring but could produce a few goals.

Therefore, Nantes odds to win and under 4.5 goals in the match is priced at 3/1.

Approaching this fixture, Napoli are in good form with three wins and two defeats to AC Milan and Sassuolo in their last five fixtures. Currently, the Blues are sixth in the league and are six points behind league leaders AC Milan and three points behind Roma.

Paulo Fonseca’s men are in great form coming into this clash as they are unbeaten in 10 games in all competitions, with a win-streak of four games. The last defeat suffered was the Hellas Verona on the opening day of the Serie A.

This fixture can produce goals with 19 goals scored in the last five meetings with both teams to score happening in all five. Roma’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan is in superb goalscoring form with six goals scored in his last three matches, as he netted in all three. Napoli’s Dries Mertens scored in their last match despite ultimately losing. He is the club’s second top goalscorer this season, behind Hirving Lozano.

Both Mkhitaryan and Mertens will be relied upon to give their team the three points in this fixture. As of now, odds for Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Dries Mertens to score is priced at 15/2.

Coming into this fixture, Real Sociedad are in incredible form as they sit top of the La Liga on 23 points after 10 games played. On top of this, Erreala are on a four win-streak in all competitions as well as a six win-streak in the Spanish league. This is incredible from a team that finished sixth in the league last year.

Villarreal are also in an incredible form approaching this match as they are unbeaten in 11 games in all competitions and are unbeaten in the Europa League. As of now, Unai Emery’s men are third in the La Liga after 10 games and are four points of their opponents. In their last match, the Yellow Submarine’s took a point in a game against Real Madrid, despite missing top goalscorer Paco Alcacer.

Both teams are in good goalscoring form in recent games, Real Sociedad have scored in their last four matches and Villarreal have scored in their last five games. This looks to be a closely fought match although, Imanol Alguacil’s men could just edge it in this fixture.

As of now, odds for Real Sociedad to win and both teams to score is priced at 11/4.
