Cremonese v Cagliari

Tip: Cagliari to Win

Cremonese come into this fixture in poor form, winless in their previous four matches and losing three during that run. Confidence looks low, and performances have lacked both defensive solidity and cutting edge.

Cagliari, meanwhile, have dominated this fixture historically, winning all three of the previous three head-to-head meetings. With momentum firmly against the hosts and Cagliari having shown they know how to get the job done in this matchup, the visitors are taken to continue their dominance.

Both Teams To Score Treble

Arsenal v Liverpool

Arsenal are in excellent scoring form, finding the net in all five of their previous five matches, with four of those producing BTTS. Liverpool have also been involved in BTTS in three of their last four games. With two elite attacks and high tempo expected, goals at both ends look very likely.

Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid

Atletico Madrid have scored in each of their last five matches, with four resulting in BTTS. Even more telling, all of the previous five Madrid derbies have seen both teams score. With quality everywhere on the pitch, BTTS looks nailed on.

Al-Nassr v Al Qadsiah

Al-Nassr have been involved in four BTTS results in their previous five matches, scoring in all five. Al Qadsiah mirror that exact record, also scoring in each of their last five games. With both sides attacking well and defences offering opportunities, BTTS completes a strong treble.

Treble Tips

PSG v Marseille

Tip: PSG to Win

PSG are in perfect form, winning all four of their previous four matches. They also boast a dominant head-to-head record, winning four of the last five meetings with Marseille. At home and in top gear, PSG should have too much quality.

AC Milan v Genoa

Tip: AC Milan to Win

AC Milan arrive in good form, winning five of their previous eight matches and losing just twice in that period. Genoa, by contrast, are winless in four and have lost three of those games. With momentum firmly on Milan’s side, the hosts are taken to collect the points.

Al Najma v Al-Ettifaq

Tip: Al-Ettifaq to Win

Al Najma are enduring a torrid run, winless in their previous ten matches and losing eight during that spell. Al-Ettifaq arrive in much stronger form, unbeaten in four and winning three of those. The gulf in momentum is clear, and Al-Ettifaq look well placed to take advantage.
