Match Result & BTTS Tips for Sunday's Action – 23/5/21

The first game on this list comes from the Swedish Allsvenskan, where eighth in the table Kalmar host fifth-placed Hammarby on matchday eight.

Two of the hosts last three matches have seen both teams score, having been beaten 3-1 by Swedish champions Malmo, as well as drawing 2-2 with Elfsborg, despite taking a two-goal lead via strikes from Per Frick and Leo Vaisanen.

Both teams have scored in all three of Hammarby’s last three league matches, as they beat the likes of Sirius and Varberg 3-2 and 3-1, before drawing 2-2 with Djurgarden, pegging the league leaders back twice in the game thanks to goals from Gustav Ludwigson and Astrit Selmani.

Hammarby have scored 13 and conceded 11 in their opening seven matches, having had a slow start to the season, whilst Kalmar have hit the back of the net six times and conceded the same amount.

The last time these two sides met at Kalmar, Hammarby recorded a 2-1 win in July last year, despite falling behind to an early goal from Isak Magnusson, before drawing level via a Paulinho Guerreiro strike in first-half stoppage time. Hammarby then pressed on and scored the winning goal of the game through Ludwigson with 17 minutes to go.

12th in the table Dallas take on 7th in the Western Conference of the MLS, with both sides looking to improve on their starts as they push for the playoffs.

Both teams have scored in three of Dallas last four matches, having lost 3-1 to San Jose Earthquakes, beaten Portland Timbers 4-1 and drawn 1-1 with Houston Dynamo. The hosts have picked up just five points from their first five games.

Real Salt Lake have an identical record in the both teams scoring department, but, they have record two wins against Minnesota United beating them 2-1, before comfortably easing their way past Sporting Kansas City at the start of the month thanks to goals from Damir Kreilach and Rubin Rubio brace, before falling to a late defeat at home to San Jose Earthquakes as Chris Wondolowski scored in the 83rd and 87th minute to give the Quakes a 2-1 win.

Salt Lake are currently on seven points from their opening four matches which is a considerably better start than that which they had last season.

The next game on this list of match result and both teams to score tips also come from the U.S, where San Jose host Sporting Kansas City at PayPal Park in what is a battle of fifth versus third in the Western Conference.

San Jose have nine points from their opening six matches, having beaten Dallas, DC United and Real Salt Lake 3-1, 4-1 and 2-1 before slipping to two defeats in their last two matches.

Sporting Kansas are in indifferent form, having drawn 1-1 with Orlando City in late April, before losing 3-1 and 1-0 to Real Salt Lake and Houston Dynamo, but also earning 2-1 and 3-0 wins against Austin and Vancouver Whitecaps.

The last time these two sides met at PayPal Park was back in April 2019, where San Jose thumped Sporting Kansas 4-1, via goals from Danny Hoesen (2), Shea Salinas and Magnus Eriksson.

The final match of the Serie A league season sees Bologna face Juventus at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, where Andrea Pirlo’s side will likely have to win and hope that results go their way in matches involving AC Milan and Napoli if they are to qualify for next seasons Champions League.

Bologna are 11th in the table and have nothing but pride at stake, whilst Juve are in fifth place, one point off both Napoli and AC who occupy fourth and third places in the league standings.

The hosts haven’t won any of their last five matches, drawing three of them in 2-2, 1-1 and 3-3 draws against Hellas Verona, Udinese and Fiorentina, whilst the Old Lady have won four out of their last five matches, with both teams scoring in each of these victories against Udinese, Sassuolo, Inter Milan and in the Coppa Italia final against Atalanta, with both Dejan Kulusevski and Federico Chiesa getting on the scoresheet.

Lyon host Nice at the Groupama Stadium on Sunday in desperate need of a win if they are to stand any chance of qualifying for the Champions League.

At present, Rudi Garcia’s side are on 76 points, four points adrift of league leaders Lille, two behind PSG and one point away from third place AS Monaco. Nice are currently ninth in Ligue 1, with just pride to play for.

Garcia’s side have been free-scoring this campaign, finding the back of the net 79 times in 37 league games. This is suggested by their last free matches, as they have beaten the likes of Nimes, Lorient and Monaco 3-2, 4-1 and 5-2.

Both teams have scored in just two of Nice’s last five games, which were in 3-1 and 3-2 victories against Montpellier and Brest.

The last time these two sides met, Lyon hammered Nice 4-1 at the Allianz Riviera in December, as Memphis Depay, Tino Kadewere, Karl Toko Ekambi and Houssem Aouar all managed to find the back of the net.
