The best value tips across Europe's top football matches this weekend

Chelsea vs Manchester City - Match Preview

Arguably the biggest game on the continent comes from the Premier League, where Chelsea host Manchester City. Normally, we would’ve backed a Sergio Aguero goal at the very least given his fine record against the Blues, but after his accident in Amsterdam on Thursday and subsequent absence, we’ll be avoiding the Argentine. However, the goal market is a tempting one to look into this weekend.

Four of the last five competitive meetings between Chelsea and Manchester City have seen over 2.5 goals and while odds of 1.75 on this happening with bet365 is relatively low, we believe it’s a tempting way to start this week’s tips. Put this into an accumulator and you could be looking at a tidy little earner. We’ve backed a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, so make sure to back over 2.5 goals in what is expected to be a free-flowing encounter.

Barcelona vs Las Palmas - Match Preview

Barcelona come into Sunday’s welcome of Las Palmas as overwhelming favourites and understandably so. Ernesto Valverde’s side have won their last 15 home league matches and while they were made to work hard for their win over Sporting Club in midweek, they should have enough to overcome Las Palmas with relative ease this weekend.

Pako Ayestaran takes charge of his first game since his appointment as Las Palmas boss and while the players will look to put in a strong showing for their new manager, this is a blistering a baptism of fire as they come. However, there is money to be made in Barcelona landing a victory if you back the Blaugrana for the win and both teams to score. This has happened in five of their last seven home games in La Liga, with Barcelona to win and both teams to score coming in at a tempting 2.05 with bet365.

AC Milan vs Roma - Steam Live on Bet365

Sixth welcome fifth in Serie A at the weekend as Roma make the trip to San Siro to face AC Milan. Both teams are level on points coming into this match, though Roma have a game in hand after their meeting with Sampdoria earlier in the season was rained off. Following a disappointing start to life under Eusebio Di Francesco, however, the capital outfit are beginning to gain some momentum.

A midweek Champions League win over Qarabag will have boosted morale ahead of their trip to Milan and you can be sure they have the means to maintain their good form on the road. Di Francesco’s side have won their last nine away league matches and are 2.62 with bet365 to make it 10 successive league wins on the road on Sunday.

Sporting CP vs FC Porto - Stream Live on Bet365

The top two in Liga NOS face off on Sunday evening in what is expected to be a hotly contested affair. The pair endured differing fortunes in the Champions League in midweek, with Sporting CP falling to a 1-0 home defeat to Barcelona and FC Porto securing a resounding 3-0 win in Monaco. Both sides are unbeaten in league duties coming into this tie, though FC Porto top the table after their 100% start to the season.

They being said, they have struggled on recent visits to Lisbon, losing three of their last four league meetings with Sporting at the Estadio Jose Alvalade. Furthermore, Jorge Jesus has won five of the last seven league meetings with Porto boss Sergio Conceicao, so odds of 2.50 on Sporting CP to win on bet365 are too tantalising to overlook this weekend.

Hertha Berlin vs Bayern Munich - Stream Live on Bet365

The first game after a manager is sacked is a difficult one to call. Players may feel free from their shackles to impress or they may struggle with the lack of direction. Hertha Berlin are hoping for the latter after Carlo Ancelotti was relieved of his duties on Thursday following Bayern’s limp 3-0 loss to PSG in the Champions League.

Bayern may be unbeaten in their last 12 competitive meetings with Hertha Berlin, but the hosts know how to shut out opponents. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in five of Hertha’s last six Bundesliga games, while five of the last six competitive meetings between these two have seen under 2.5 goals netted. Indeed, bet365 are offering odds of 2.10 on the same happening again on Sunday and while it’s risky, it could be a nice little earner for the weekend.
