The Most Statistically-Backed Match Result-BTTS Tips - 23/02/22

The first tip on this list comes from the Champions League where Ajax travel to Benfica for the first leg of the Round of 16.

Benfica come into this match having won just three of their last five Liga Nos games following their 2-2 draw against Boavista last time out, having previously beaten the likes of Santa Clara, Tondela and Arouca by 2-1, 3-1 and 2-0 scorelines. Jorge Jesus’ men also suffered a shock 2-1 home defeat to Gil Vicente in early February.

On the other hand, Ajax have won all of their last five Eredivisie fixtures, defeating Willem II 1-0, FC Twente 5-0, Heracles 3-0, on top of a crucial 2-1 victory away at fierce rivals PSV thanks to goals by Brian Brobbey and Noussair Mazraoui on top of a comfortable 3-0 win against Utrecht.

The last time Ajax played a side from Liga Nos in this competition was when they thumped champions of Portugal Sporting Lisbon 5-1 and 4-2 in this season’s group stages.

Burnley against Tottenham is also on this list, with the Clarets needing the points in a desperate attempt to escape relegation, whilst Spurs are looking to further strengthen their top-four chances.

Sean Dyche’s men are 19th in the table, five points off Newcastle United with two games in hand and will be full of confidence having thumped Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 last time out thanks to goals by Wout Weghorst, Josh Brownhill and Aaron Lennon. Prior to their victory over the Seagulls, Burnley had lost 1-0 to Liverpool, drawn 1-1 against Manchester United and drawn 0-0 with both Watford and Arsenal.

Spurs also managed a huge win last time out, as they beat Manchester City 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium thanks to a dramatic late winner by Harry Kane. Before this victory, the Lilywhites had lost 2-0 against Wolves and 3-2 versus Southampton, but, had defeated Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1 in the FA Cup at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Liverpool and Leeds United go head to head at Anfield on Wednesday in a clash between second and 15th place in the Premier League.

If this game is to be anything like Liverpool’s 4-3 home win over Leeds in their opening game of the 2020/21 campaign, then those watching will be in for a treat.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have won all of their last five matches across all competitions, having beaten Cardiff City 3-1 in the FA Cup and then going on to defeat Leicester City and Burnley by 2-0 and 1-0 scorelines, before earning a vital 2-0 away victory against Inter Milan at the San Siro in the Champions League with Roberto Firmono and Mohamed Salah’s goals putting them in firm command of the tie. In their last match, the Reds won 3-1 at home to Norwich City in the Premier League to close the gap to Manchester City to just six points.

Leeds played out a thrilling 4-2 loss against fierce-rivals Manchester United at Elland Road on Sunday, but, before this Marcelo Bielsa’s men had been hammered 3-0 by Everton at Goodison Park after drawing 3-3 with Aston Villa, losing 1-0 at home to Newcastle and defeating West Ham 3-2 at the London Stadium thanks to a Jack Harrison hat-trick.

The next tip on this list comes from Italy’s second-tier, as top of the table Lecce takes on 10th placed Citadella.

Lecce have won two of their last five matches in Serie B, having thrashed Crotone 3-0 last time out, off the back of three draws in a row against Alessandria, Benevento and Como by 1-1 scorelines. Their other match in their last five was a narrow 2-1 victory over Vicenza at home.

Citadella travel to Lecce in poor form, having lost 1-0 to Benevento and 2-0 against Cremonese on either side of a 1-0 win away at Pordenone. Prior to their loss to Cremonese, they had drawn 0-0 in back to back matches against Crotone and Cosenza.

The final game on this list sees Fulham face managerless Peterborough United at Craven Cottage following the resignation of Darren Ferguson on Sunday.

Marco Silva’s men are flying high at the top of the Championship, but, suffered a 2-1 setback at the weekend in a 2-1 loss to Huddersfield Town at home after previously winning their two fixtures against Hull City 1-0 and Millwall 3-0. Before these victories, the Cottagers had been hammered 4-1 by Manchester City at the Etihad in the FA Cup and drew 1-1 against Blackpool.

Meanwhile, Posh are 23rd in the standings, five points behind 21st place Reading with a game in hand on the Royals and are in desperate need of a result. Peterborough have picked up just one point from their last four league matches having been hammered 4-0 at Cardiff, as well as losing 1-0 to both Preston North End and Derby County on either side of a 0-0 home draw with Reading.
