Four title contenders go head-to-head in the Premier League this weekend, but we also have some incredible matches full of history in Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga. We are here to preview and give our best tips from the top three European clash-games.
Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich (Germany – Bundesliga)
Bundesliga is one of the best-attended leagues in Europe with Dortmund and Bayern Munich dominating the rankings. Despite Bayern Munich being the best team ever in Germany, Dortmund are the side with the most talented players this season. They are missing their captain Marco Reus who is expected to return at the start of 2018 and be fully fit for the World Cup in Russia, but they are covered with amazing attacking players like Christian Pulisic, Maximilian Philipp, Mario Götze, Andrey Yarmolenko or Andre Schürrle. Bayern Munich started their domestic league season on the wrong foot but after sacking Ancelotti and appointing their former manager Jupp Heynckes, the team bounced back and returned to winning ways. The Bundesliga reigning champs have gone seven unbeaten matches since their former coach returned. His impact is huge, he has a special relationship with all the squad making them to perform at their highest level. Bayern enter this match on the back of 6 wins in a row in all competitions, qualifying in the Champions League knock-out round with 2 rounds to go till the end of the group stage and they are leading the Bundesliga standings after 10 rounds. If they win this match they will put a 6-points margin between them and their follower Dortmund. We expect a goal-fest with both teams finding the back of the net but with Bayern Munich winning the match. Best pick for the match: Bayern to win and both teams to score 3.2 with WilliamHill.
Fiorentina vs. AS Roma (Italy – Serie A)
7th place Fiorentina host 5th place AS Roma on Sunday. Fiorentina’s excellent 3-match winning run came crashing down last weekend as they lost 1-2 away at Crotone. They will try to bounce back from their previous match poor performance and climb the standings. On the other side, AS Roma continue to impress entering this match on the back of three Serie A 1-0 wins in a row but also beating Chelsea 3-0 at home in the Champions League in the midweek. They have the best defense in the top-flight league with just 5 goals conceded in 10 rounds. We expect Roma to claim the three points when they visit Fiorentina, to confirm their excellent for and put pressure on the top spots. They also have a game in hand so in case of a victory they can reach the top three and fight once again for the title. Best pick for the match: AS Roma to win at 2.38 with Betfair.
Barcelona vs. Sevilla (Spain – La Liga)
Barcelona are leading the standings with 28 points earned in 10 rounds being unbeaten this season in all competitions. They enter this match on the back of a goalless Champions League draw in Greece against Olympiakos Piraeus qualifying in the knock-out stage with 2 matches to go till the end of the group stage. Messi is at his highest level being La Liga top scorer with 12 goals in 10 rounds, trying to win another Ballon D’or at the end of the season. If we are talking about the away matches, Sevilla are coming after three defeats in a row and it will be very tough for them to return home with points from this trip. Barcelona’s rivals Real Madrid are 8 points behind them, so this match is the perfect opportunity for the Catalans to secure this margin and to continue leading the standings.
Best pick for the match: Leo Messi to score over 1.5 goals in the match at 2.6 with Betfair.
