The Most Statistically-Backed Match Result-BTTS Tips - 1/12/21

On Wednesday night, runaway league leaders PSG host Nice at the Parc des Princes looking to extend their 12 point gap to Rennes.

Both teams have scored in each of PSG’s last five matches following a 2-2 draw with RB Leipzig and 2-1 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League. Their Ligue 1 form has been spectacular, as they have accumulated 40 points from 15 matches, winning each of their last three games 3-2 against Bordeaux, Nantes 3-1 and Saint-Etienne 3-1 where goals from Marquinhos (2) and Angel Di Maria settled the result against the latter opponent.

Meanwhile, Nice are third in the table, 14 points behind their opponents and both teams have scored three of their last five matches, following a 1-1 draw against Olympique Marseille, as well as 2-1 victories against Angers and Clermont.

La Liga leaders Real Madrid take on Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Carlo Ancelotti’s side coming in as firm favourites.

Real have won each of their last five matches following their 2-1 victory over Sevilla thanks to goals by Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior. Prior to this Los Blancos had beaten Sheriff and Shaktar Donetsk 3-0 and 2-1 in the Champions League, as well as Granada 4-1 and Rayo Vallecano 2-1.

On the other hand, Bilbao have failed to win any of their last five La Liga fixtures having drawn 1-1 with both Real Sociedad and Espanyol, as well as 2-2 with Granada. Their other results include a 1-0 loss to Cadiz, as well as a 0-0 draw against Levante.

The last time these two sides met at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real ran out as 3-1 winners in December 2020, via a brace from Benzema and a Toni Kroos strike.

In the MLS Cup Conference Semi-Finals, New England Revolution host New York City at the Gilette Stadium in what is a battle of first versus fourth in the Eastern Conference.

The hosts won their side of the Conference with 73 points from 34 games, statistically making them the best team in the MLS prior to the playoffs, finishing 22 points clear of the Boys in Blue.

Both teams have scored in three of the Revolutions last five matches, in two 2-2 draws versus both Chicago Fire and Orlando City, as well as in a 3-2 away win at DC United.

However, NYCFC come into this match in better form, having defeated the likes of DC United 6-0, Chicago Fire 1-0, Inter Miami 3-1 and Atlanta United 2-0.

In the last meeting between these two sides, the hosts won 2-1 back in September as Emmanuel Boateng and Tajon Buchanan both got on the scoresheet having initially fallen behind to a goal by Santiago Rodriguez after just 11 minutes.

Strasbourg and Bordeaux go head to head on Wednesday night in a battle of eighth versus 16th in Ligue 1.

The home side hosts have won one of their last four matches, having beaten Lorient 4-0, before drawing 2-2 to Nantes and 1-1 against both Reims and Monaco in each of their last two outings.

On the other hand, Bordeaux have lost two of their last three games, having been narrowly beaten 2-1 and 3-2 by Brest and PSG either side of a 3-3 draw against Metz. Prior to their loss to PSG, Bordeaux had beaten Reims 3-2 and drawn 1-1 with Lorient.

In the last meeting between these two sides in April, Strasbourg won 3-2 at Matmut Atlantique, as they took a 3-0 lead in the opening half an hour of the match thanks to goals by Lamine Kone, Habib Diallo and Ludovic Ajorque, before Paul Bayasse and Hwang Ui-jo strikes pegged them back.

The final tip on this list comes from the EFL Trophy, where Sunderland host Oldham Athletic at the Stadium of Light in the Second Round.

The Black Cats are one league above the Latics and come into this game having seen the BTTS market land in three of their last four matches, following two 1-1 draws against Bradford City and Shrewsbury Town, as well as in a 2-1 win over Cambridge United last weekend, their other result was a 2-0 home win over Ipswich Town in late November.

Meanwhile, Oldham have won just one of their last five matches across all competitions, following three 2-1 losses to Exeter City and Northampton Town in League Two, as well as 2-1 to Ipswich Town in the League Cup. The Latics did beat Port Vale 3-2 on 20th November but were soundly beaten 2-0 at Salford City on the weekend.

These two sides met in this round of the EFL Trophy last season, where Sunderland ran out as 2-1 winners at Boundary Park via goals from Chris Maguire and Josh Scowen.
