Today’s football card throws up a mix of competitive fixtures across Europe and beyond, and we’ve picked out the strongest angles including our Bet of the Day, BTTS selections, and a value acca.
There’s a clear theme across today’s picks — goals look likely, with multiple sides in strong scoring form heading into these fixtures.
No fluff. No gimmicks. Just solid tips — delivered straight to you.
Nantes vs Brest - Ligue 1
Brest Win
Reason for Tip
The hosts Nantes come in-to the match in bad form, only winning once within their previous ten matches and have lost seven of those ten games. Within the previous four head-to-head matches the visitors Brest are unbeaten, winning three and drawing once.
Al-Ettifaq vs Al Riyadh
➡️ Al-Ettifaq to win
Not the most convincing matchup on paper, but if either side is to edge this, it looks like the hosts.
Al-Ettifaq hold a strong head-to-head record here, unbeaten in the last four meetings, winning three of them. Neither side comes into this flying, but the hosts have historically had the edge and that could prove key again.
➡️ Slight edge to the hosts
