The Most Statistically-Backed Match Result-BTTS Tips - 16/2/22

The first tip on this list sees Genk take on Mechelen in the Belgian Pro League in a battle of eighth against seventh.

Genk come into this match having taken full use of home advantage in their last five outings, as they beat Standard Liege 2-0, Zulte Waregem 2-0 and Beerschot 4-1 at Cegeka Arena. But, they have lost both of their away matches in their last five outings, doing so to OH Leuven and Union Saint-Gilloise by 2-1 scorelines.

The both teams to score market has landed in two of Mechelen’s last three matches, having defeated the likes of KV Oostende 3-0, as well as managing 3-2 and 2-1 victories over Beerschot and Standard Liege.

These two sides last met at Genk back in September 2020, where Genk ran out as 3-1 winners thanks to goals by Paul Onuachu (2) and Junya Ito, having initially fallen behind to a Kerim Mrabti strike after just six minutes.

RB Salzburg have the unenviable task of facing Bayern Munich in the Champions League Round of 16.

These two sides were in the same group as recently as last season, where Bayern won both encounters 6-2 and 3-1 under the management of Hansi Flick.

Salzburg’s Champions League form was good enough to see them earn a place in the knockout stages, finishing second behind Lille in Group G, ahead of Wolfsburg and Sevilla following three victories over Lille 2-1, Wolfsburg 3-1 and Lille 1-0.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side will be looking to bounce back from a humiliating 4-2 defeat away at VFL Bochum at the weekend. Prior to this loss, Bayern had beaten RB Leipzig 3-2, Hertha Berlin 4-1 and Koln 4-0.

The next tip also comes from the Champions League where Inter Milan hosts Liverpool at the San Siro in the first leg of the round of 16.

Inter come into this match in patchy form following their 1-1 draw away at Napoli last weekend, having beaten AS Roma 2-0 in the Coppa Italia, following their progression from the previous round having defeated Empoli 3-2. Inbetween their cup matches, Simone Inzaghi’s men were beaten 2-1 by AC Miland and managed a narrow 2-1 victory over Venezia thanks to a stoppage-time goal by Edin Dzeko.

On the other hand, Liverpool have won all of their last five matches, having completed a 2-0 aggregate win over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-finals back in late January, as well as managing back to back 3-1 victories against Crystal Palace and Cardiff City, before defeating Leicester City 2-0 and Burnley 1-0.

In La Liga, Atletico Madrid and Levante go head to head in a crucial battle for both sides.

At present, Atletico are fifth in the table, level on points with fourth-place Barcelona after 23 matches, whilst Levante are bottom of the table with just 11 points, 13 points adrift of Granada on 17th.

Atletico won their last match in dramatic fashion 4-3 against Getafe thanks to an 89th-minute goal by Mario Hermoso to win the match, having seen the score tied at 3-3 at half time. Diego Simeone’s men were beaten 4-2 by Barcelona, defeated Valencia 3-2, lost 2-0 to Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey and drew 2-2 with Villareal in early January.

As you’d expect, Levante’s form is abysmal, having managed just one win in their last five following 4-2, 3-0 and 2-0 defeats against Real Betis, Getafe and Cadiz, meaning that their last victory was against Mallorca by a 2-0 scoreline back on 8th January.

The final tip on this list comes from League One where Sheffield Wednesday hosts Accrington Stanley at Hillsborough.

When these two sides last met back in November, the Owls edged their meeting with Stanley 3-2 at the Crown Ground as they flew into a three-goal lead inside 22 minutes thanks to strikes from Chey Dunkley, Theo Corbeanue and Florian Kamberi, before goals from Lewis Mansell and Joel Mumbongo made it a nervous finish to the match.

Darren Moore’s men come into this match in decent form, as despite losing 2-0 to top of the table Rotherham United, they have managed two 1-0 victories over Wigan Athletic and Ipswich Town, as well as 2-0 wins against Burton Albion and Morecambe.

Accrington have won their last two games in impressive fashion, having thumped Crewe Alexandra 4-1 and beaten Oxford United 2-0. Prior to these victories, John Coleman’s team were beaten 1-0 and 2-1 by Rotherham United and Ipswich Town on either side of a 2-2 draw against Morecambe.
