Returning back from the international break with a bang, the Bundesliga’s standout fixture this weekend comes from the capital, where FC Union will take on Hertha in the Berlin derby.
Four points above their rivals, Union made history by qualifying for Europe last season and they’re targeting another continental spot this campaign.
Likely to be a tense affair, there’s little to separate the two sides, making both teams to score at and the more in-form Union winning a 7/2 punt.
Remarkably Lazio enter this weekend’s clash against Juventus above them in the table, with the hosts looking to pile even more misery on the record Italian champions.
It hasn’t been the return to Turin Massimiliano Allegri would’ve hoped for, with the Old Lady already having lost more games this season than in any of their Scuedetto winning campaigns under the Italian coach.
Lazio have enjoyed a stellar season at the Stadio Olimpico so far, winning five of their six home matches, with the Biancocelesti priced at 11/2 to triumph, with both teams finding the net.
Despite what has seemingly been a stuttering campaign up to now, Paris Saint-Germain leads the way in France with a comfortable 10 point advantage over RC Lens.
PSG will be looking to extend the gap at the top when they take on mid-table Nantes on Saturday, who have one win away to the French giants in their previous 13 visits.
Whilst that singular Nantes victory came last season, it’s unlikely the Yellow Horse will be able to Trojan their way past the PSG barricades this time around, with a -2.0 handicap for the Parisians being our tip here.
Xavi will take charge of his first Barcelona game this weekend, with the 41-year-old handed the small task of a Derbi Barceloni to kick things off.
Barcelona have been woeful for the most part this season, with the Catalan side turning to club legend Xavi to sweep up the mess. It may take Xavi a while to get his young Barcelona side ticking, so whilst a victory is likely this weekend, a do expect them to concede and we're backing a 3-1 win.
Humbled 4-1 by Stade Rennes in their final match before the international break, Lyon were left reeling in North-West France and their next challenge doesn’t come much harder. Marseille have been plagued by inconsistency this season, yet they’ve shown enough signs that they should be able to compete under new boss Jorge Sampaoli.
They’ll be looking to extend a run of three matches unbeaten against Lyon in the Choc des Olympiques this weekend and they’re priced at 4/1 to win the match, with over 2.5 goals scored throughout the 90 minutes.
Leicester City are on the lookout for a new manager following the dismissal of Steve Cooper in the aftermath of the Foxes’ 2-1 home defeat to Chelsea. The 44-year-old managed to wi...
