  • Nuremberg - Cologne
    When: 18:30
    Where: 2nd Bundesliga Germany

    Nuremberg
    Nuremberg is currently in 10th place with 45 points from 32 games. The team shows an offensive playing style, scoring many goals (55), but also conceding as many (54), indicating a weak defense. In the last five matches, they managed only one win, one draw, and suffered three defeats. Defensively, the team often appears disorganized, especially in central defense where many gaps arise that opponents can exploit. Despite home advantage, Nuremberg has not been a stable fortress recently.

    Cologne
    Cologne is in 2nd place with 55 points and has good chances for direct promotion back to the Bundesliga. The team impresses with a much more stable defense (only 37 goals conceded) and disciplined, structured gameplay. Cologne prefers controlled passing with targeted advances and rarely takes unnecessary risks. Despite some injuries and an important suspension, Cologne is defensively significantly more compact than Nuremberg and knows how to exploit opponents’ mistakes effectively.

    Injuries
    Nuremberg must do without Danilo Soares (suspension) and Jens Castrop (knee injury), which can affect defense and midfield respectively. Cologne is weakened personnel-wise due to the suspension of Leart Paqarada and several injuries, including Luca Kilian with an ACL tear, especially in defense. Nevertheless, Cologne remains overall defensively more stable than Nuremberg.

    Head-to-head Matches
    The last direct encounter took place in December 2024 and ended with a clear 3-1 home win for Cologne. This result shows that Cologne has already proven how they can exploit Nuremberg’s defensive weakness and should give the visitors additional confidence.

    Match Prediction
    Considering the current form, defensive stability, and clear league standings, Cologne is the favorite. Although Nuremberg has offensive power, they have a vulnerable defense that Cologne tends to punish. Despite personnel losses at Cologne, we expect a disciplined and pragmatic performance that will secure at least an away win. The bookmaker’s odds of 1.63 for a Cologne win reflect this assessment and represent an attractive betting option.

    My Tip: Cologne win (1.63)
    Tip
  • SC Preussen Münster - Hertha BSC Berlin
    When: 18:30
    Where: 2. Bundesliga Germany

    SC Preussen Münster
    The team from Münster occupies 16th place in the table, which represents the relegation spot. With 32 points from 32 games, the team urgently needs points to secure their league status. The offensive performance is rather average (1.13 goals per game), while the defense shows weaknesses with 1.28 goals conceded per game. The previous matches have been very inconsistent, making endurance difficult. At home, they usually play aggressively and look to push forward, but often lack creativity and systematic pressing, which creates spaces in the center.

    Hertha BSC Berlin
    Hertha Berlin stands as 11th in the table with 43 points, positioned in the middle of the standings and showing a balanced goal difference (48:48). The last five games brought a strong unbeaten run (three wins, two draws). Offensively, they show potential and prefer an open, attacking style that results in many goals (an average of 3 goals per game). However, the team has significant defensive problems, especially against fast counterattacks and long-range shots. The defense is weakened due to injuries and appears vulnerable.

    Injuries
    All players at Preussen Münster are available, with no injuries or suspensions. Hertha Berlin, however, must do without captain and key defender Toni Leistner (suspension), striker Marten Winkler (thigh injury), and Pascal Klemens (head injury). Leistner's absence is especially a big disadvantage, as it further destabilizes an already vulnerable defense.

    Head-to-Head
    Previous encounters between Münster and Hertha have become less indicative, as squads, coaches, and playing styles have changed multiple times. Therefore, the focus is placed on current form and motivation.

    Match Prediction
    Münster is under enormous pressure due to the threat of relegation and will be highly motivated at home. Hertha shows good offensive form but has defensive weaknesses, especially due to absences in central defense. Both teams tend to play open matches with many penalty box situations, indicating a high-scoring game. The bookmaker odds (1.53 for Over 2.5 Goals) reflect this assessment. Due to the combination of home advantage, Münster's necessary commitment, and the offensive approach of both sides, at least three goals are expected in the game.

    My Tip: Over 2.5 Goals (1.53)
    Tip
  • Istanbul Başakşehir - Fenerbahçe
    When: 19:00
    Where: Türkiye Süper Lig

    Istanbul Başakşehir
    Istanbul Başakşehir currently stands in 5th place in the table with 51 points. The team has a strong offense with 54 goals scored, but the defense shows weaknesses with 45 goals conceded. The last five matches have been impressive: four wins and only one loss, confirming a strong upward trend. At home, the team is particularly motivated and plays with a lot of energy. However, their main striker Krzysztof Piatek is missing due to a red card suspension, which is a big loss for their attacking power.

    Fenerbahçe
    Fenerbahçe currently occupies 2nd place with 75 points and is ambitiously pursuing the championship title. With 80 goals scored, they have an even more impressive offense. However, the defense has some issues as key regular defenders are sidelined due to injuries. The last five games show a solid form with three wins, one draw, and one loss. Historically, they clearly dominate the direct encounters against Başakşehir and know how to play against this opponent.

    Injuries
    Istanbul Başakşehir is missing important players Krzysztof Piatek and Onur Ergun, with Piatek's absence especially hitting the offense hard. Fenerbahçe has significant defensive absences with Caglar Soyuncu, Rodrigo Becao, and Jayden Oosterwolde, making their defense vulnerable. Nevertheless, the offensive strength is present to score goals despite defensive problems.

    Head-to-Head
    The last five direct encounters were very one-sided in favor of Fenerbahçe: four wins and one draw. Başakşehir hasn’t won a game against Fenerbahçe, and the goal difference also strongly favors the visitors. This historical advantage is likely to play an important psychological role as well.

    Match Prediction
    Although Istanbul Başakşehir is currently in good form and playing at home, the absence of their main goal scorer Piatek will be a decisive factor. Fenerbahçe urgently needs points for the title race, is extremely strong offensively, and has proven in the past how to beat Başakşehir. Despite the personnel problems in defense, Fenerbahçe will impress offensively and take all three points. It will be a hard-fought match, but motivation, experience, and the head-to-head record clearly speak for the visitors.

    My tip: Win Fenerbahçe (1.83)
    Tip
  • Willem II - Heracles
    When: 20:00
    Where: Netherlands. Eredivisie

    Willem II
    Willem II currently occupies 16th place in the standings and is desperately fighting against relegation. After 31 games, they have only collected 25 points, a disappointing result with no wins in the last 5 matches. Offensively, they hardly manage to score goals, while defensively they are particularly vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.65 goals per game. Despite home advantage, the team currently shows no stability in game organization and passion, which is especially reflected in the lack of compactness and effectiveness.

    Heracles
    Heracles is in 12th place with 35 points, which is significantly better than Willem II but still does not guarantee safety. In the last 5 games, they have performed somewhat better with 2 wins and 1 draw. Offensively, they have a bit more punch with 1.23 goals per game, but defensively they are also vulnerable and concede many goals. The team plays a rather open style focused on the midfield, which sometimes creates chances but also risks. However, their away form is mixed, and they are struggling with several injured and suspended players.

    Injuries
    Willem II has several long-term injured players, including Raffael Behounek, who is suspended with a red card until May 2025, Mickael Tirpan out due to illness also until May, as well as other absences due to injuries. Heracles also has several absences, including the suspended Sem Scheperman and injured players such as Sava Cestic and other players suspended due to yellow cards. This personnel situation worsens the already tense conditions for both teams.

    Head-to-Head Matches
    The recent meetings between these teams have mostly been balanced and high-scoring. The last two games each ended in a 1-1 draw, indicating a close and hard-fought encounter. Overall, the direct duels show no clear dominance by either side, and often at least one goal is scored by both teams.

    Match Prediction
    Given the weak defenses of both teams and Heracles' relatively better recent form, an intense match is expected in which both teams are likely to score at least one goal. Despite Willem II's home weakness, their fighting spirit in the relegation battle should not be underestimated, which combined with the home advantage offers a good chance for at least a non-losing outcome. The bookmakers see no clear favorite, and the odds for the double chance on Willem II are attractive. Therefore, we recommend the bet Double Chance Willem II with odds of 1.45, as a draw or home win is more likely than a loss.

    My tip: Double Chance Willem II (1.45)
    Tip
  • Palermo - Frosinone
    When: 8:30 PM
    Where: Italy. Serie B

    Palermo
    Palermo occupies 7th place with 48 points after 36 games, with a positive goal difference of 49:42. The team averages 1.33 points per game, which is not a clear indicator for promotion but still leaves hope for a playoff position. The last five games show inconsistent form with two wins and three losses. Offensively, the team manages to score an average of 1.36 goals while conceding 1.17 goals. The matches are often balanced and goals are not always plentiful, as evidenced by a 50% over 2.5 goals rate.

    Frosinone
    Frosinone stands in 15th place with 40 points and is fighting relegation. The goal difference is negative with 36 scored and 48 conceded goals. The form is weak with four draws and one loss in the last five games, without a win. The team shows little offensive strength and struggles to create chances. Defensively, the team is also vulnerable. Overall, the goal rate is low and the games are usually tough and low-scoring.

    Injuries
    Palermo has all players available, which is an advantage for the team. Frosinone, on the other hand, must do without defender Simone Romagnoli, who is sidelined with an injury. His absence could further weaken the already unstable defense.

    Head-to-Head
    The last direct encounters between Palermo and Frosinone were balanced and low-scoring. The last two meetings ended 1-1 each, before that Frosinone narrowly won 1-0. These results underline a generally tight and defensively shaped match between the teams.

    Match Prediction
    Considering the season statistics, current form, injury situation, and history of direct encounters, a match with few goals is expected. Palermo urgently seeks points for the playoffs and will play in a controlled manner, while Frosinone is in crisis and will play very cautiously to avoid losing. The likelihood that both teams score many goals or that the match is very open appears low. Therefore, we recommend betting on under 3.5 goals with a solid odds of 1.38.

    My Tip: Under 3.5 goals (1.38)
    Tip
  • Milan - Bologna
    When: 20:45
    Where: Italy. Serie A

    Milan
    Milan currently occupy 9th place in the standings and disappoint with 16 wins, 9 draws, and 10 losses. Despite a potentially strong squad, the team shows inconsistent performances with weaknesses in defense and sometimes inefficient finishes. At home, the Rossoneri act more confidently, but have also suffered home defeats. Tactically, much emphasis is placed on ball possession and wing play, but creativity often lacks in the final third.

    Bologna
    Bologna shines this season with 7th place, 16 wins, and only 5 losses. The team impresses with tactical discipline, a compact defense, and efficient chance conversion. They often play pragmatically and defensively solid, but can be very dangerous on counterattacks. Bologna is not afraid to collect points away from home and has already proven their quality in matches against Milan.

    Injuries
    Milan are missing, among others, Riccardo Sottil, Tammy Abraham, and Warren Bondo due to various injuries. Bologna has to do without Emil Holm, Dan Ndoye, and Estanis Pedrola, which could limit the squad depth, but the main players remain mostly available.

    Head-to-head
    The recent encounters have been close and hard-fought: Bologna won 2-1, two matches ended in draws (2-2 and 0-0), and Milan has recently also scored points in away games. The duels show that Bologna matches up very well against Milan and games usually end close and high-scoring.

    Match forecast
    An intense, tactically shaped game is expected. Milan wants to win on home soil, but Bologna's stable defense and disciplined play will make it difficult to break through the backline. Both teams have offensive potential and regularly score goals. The history and statistical values of both teams suggest that both sides will score at least one goal. The bet "Both teams to score: Yes" with the odds of 1.65 is therefore highly recommended.

    My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.65)
    Tip
  • VfL Wolfsburg - TSG 1899 Hoffenheim
    When: 20:30
    Where: Bundesliga

    VfL Wolfsburg
    Currently, VfL Wolfsburg is in 12th place with a rather mixed season record of 10 wins, 9 draws, and 13 losses, scoring 53 and conceding 52 goals. The recent form is concerning: They have not recorded a win in the last five games, only one draw and four losses. Defensively, the team often appears vulnerable, especially against opponents’ quick counterattacks. Offensively, there has been a lack of punch and finishing ability recently. At home, Wolfsburg is somewhat more stable, but consistency is still lacking.

    TSG 1899 Hoffenheim
    Hoffenheim is worse off in 15th place and is struggling defensively, as shown by the 62 goals conceded. The record of 7 wins, 10 draws, and 15 losses reflects a mediocre season. In the last five matches, there was only one win and one draw, providing little confidence. The absence of starting goalkeeper Oliver Baumann and key defenders like Ozan Kabak aggravates the defensive problems. Offensively, the Kraichgau team is diligent, but consistency and composure in front of goal need improvement.

    Injuries
    Several players are missing for VfL Wolfsburg, including Sebastiaan Bornauw (injury), Bennit Bröger (knee surgery), Kevin Paredes (muscle strain), Mattias Svanberg (muscle injury), and others. Hoffenheim also suffers significant losses, especially suspended goalkeeper Oliver Baumann, defenders Ozan Kabak and Christopher Lenz, as well as important midfielders Grischa Prömel and Ihlas Bebou. These numerous absences notably weaken the defense on both sides.

    Head-to-Head Encounters
    In the last five direct encounters, Wolfsburg leads with three wins, one draw, and one loss. The matches have often been high-scoring with goals on both sides. Highlights include a 3-0 victory and a 2-2 draw, underscoring the offensive focus of both teams.

    Match Prediction
    Both teams have moderate defensive qualities and are under pressure, which typically leads to open games with many goals. The high odds of 1.53 for over 2.5 goals seem especially attractive in light of the statistics: Around 69% of matches involving both teams see goals on both sides, and past direct confrontations have also been fairly high-scoring. Despite poor form and numerous injuries, which mostly contribute to defensive weaknesses, the likelihood of at least three goals is high.

    My tip: Over 2.5 goals (1.53)
    Tip
  • Sassuolo - Catanzaro
    When: 20:30
    Where: Italy. Serie B

    Sassuolo
    Sassuolo leads the table and shows an impressive performance with 25 wins out of 36 games. With 78 goals scored and averaging over two goals per match, they especially make their mark offensively. The team plays confidently at home and often presses with wide-ranging offensive play and high tempo. However, the offensive orientation sometimes creates gaps in defense that faster opponents could exploit. Overall, Sassuolo remains the clear favorite and is expected to dominate the game.

    Catanzaro
    Catanzaro ranks sixth in the table with many draws. The team struggles offensively and achieves comparatively few wins but an unusually high number of draws. Defensively, the team is vulnerable, especially under pressure errors occur. Even away from home, Catanzaro plays cautiously and tries to avoid conceding goals in order to secure at least one point. The current form is tense, having not won any of the last five matches.

    Injuries
    Sassuolo will miss goalkeeper Stefano Turati and midfielder Kristian Thorstvedt, which can, however, be well compensated. Catanzaro is missing midfielder Ilias Koutsoupias, which could further impair their already weak creativity.

    Head-to-head
    Previous encounters between Sassuolo and Catanzaro date back a long time and are of little relevance for today’s assessment. Therefore, the prognosis is based mainly on current form and this season’s statistics.

    Match prediction
    Sassuolo is the clear favorite to win, will play offensively, and create many chances. Catanzaro will try to remain defensively solid and look to counterattack, which could well lead to goals on both sides. Due to Sassuolo’s offensive strength and Catanzaro’s not particularly secure defense, the bet "Both Teams to Score: Yes" with odds of 1.45 is highly recommended.

    My tip: Both Teams to Score: Yes (1.45)
    Tip
  • Sampdoria - Salernitana
    When: 20:30
    Where: Italy. Serie B

    Sampdoria
    Sampdoria currently occupies 18th place with 37 points from 36 matches. Their record shows 7 wins, 16 draws, and 13 losses. The goal difference is negative (37:49), indicating problems both in attack and defense. The last five games show an unstable form with only one win, two draws, and two losses. The team struggles to get through the midfield and often lacks penetration as well as the creative execution of chances. Defensively, the backline often appears disorganized, especially during quick transitions. Many draws suggest that Sampdoria collects points but lacks the necessary quality to dominate games or secure wins confidently. At home, their effort is high, but success remains uncertain.

    Salernitana
    Salernitana stands just ahead of Sampdoria in 17th place with 39 points. With 10 wins, 9 draws, and 17 losses, the team has a slightly better record but still a negative goal difference (35:46). The last five matches show better form with three wins and two losses, indicating positive development and more effectiveness in defensive work. Salernitana usually plays a defensively oriented game, waiting for counterattacks or set pieces, and often does not dominate ball possession, but is dangerous when chances arise. The team tends to take more risks, leading to both wins and losses. Overall, Salernitana currently exhibits more stability and efficiency than Sampdoria.

    Injuries
    Sampdoria will miss Estanis Pedrola due to a hip injury, with his return planned only for next season. Salernitana currently has no injured or suspended players, giving the coach full selection options.

    Head-to-head encounters
    The history of recent direct encounters clearly favors Salernitana, who have won four out of the last five meetings—sometimes with convincing results like 4-0. Sampdoria hasn’t won any matches in this period, managing only one draw. This record surely impacts the players’ psyche and makes Salernitana a preferred opponent.

    Match prediction
    Although bookmakers slightly favor Sampdoria at home, many indicators suggest a rather cautious match with few goals. The current form, defensive stability, and the styles of both teams—as well as the careful handling of emotions in this relegation battle—point to a game with limited offensive play. Past encounters have seen high-scoring games, but this season the teams seem more focused on safety. The recommendation to bet on “Under 2.5 goals” at odds of 1.68 is well justified, as little offensive fireworks are expected.

    My tip: Under 2.5 goals (1.68)
    Tip
  • Cádiz - Almería
    When: 20:30
    Where: Spain. Segunda División

    Cádiz
    Cádiz occupies 14th place in the table with 49 points from 38 games. With 48 goals scored and 49 conceded, the team plays quite openly offensively but has defensive weaknesses. In the last five matches, there was only one win, one draw, and three losses, with the defense being particularly disappointing. Cádiz usually feels more secure at home, but the results are inconsistent. The average goal success is 1.26 per game, which is relatively low.

    Almería
    Almería is in 6th place with 62 points and is fighting for a playoff spot. With 67 goals scored and 53 conceded, they have strong offensive quality, scoring an average of 1.76 goals per game. However, the defense is not very stable, with 1.39 goals conceded on average. In 74% of their games, goals are scored on both sides. In the last five matches, they have secured three wins, reflecting better form than Cádiz. Almería's games are often high-scoring and exciting.

    Injuries
    Cádiz will miss Luis Hernández (knee) through injury, further weakening the already vulnerable defense. Almería must do without Juan Brandariz (hamstring) and Iddrisu Baba (cruciate ligament), with Baba's absence being particularly significant as he is a key midfielder.

    Head-to-Head
    The direct encounters between Cádiz and Almería have mostly been tight with many 1-1 draws. An exception was the clear 6-1 victory for Almería in a recent game, demonstrating Almería's offensive firepower. Overall, however, the matches between the two teams are dominated by defensively oriented and balanced games.

    Match Forecast
    Although bookmakers expect a rather low-scoring game and the direct history points to few goals, Almería's current form and style of play favor a high-scoring match. Both teams have defensive flaws and Cádiz lacks stability, so both sides have good chances to score. Almería is offensively strong, and Cádiz needs to hold their ground at home — therefore, the likelihood is high that both teams will score at least once.

    My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.60)
    Tip
  • Las Palmas - Rayo Vallecano
    When: 21:00
    Where: Spain. Primera División

    Las Palmas
    Las Palmas currently stands in 18th place and is fighting relegation with only 32 points from 34 games. The goal difference of -16 (40 goals for, 56 against) reflects their defensive weakness. In the last five games, there have been two wins and three losses. Especially noticeable is the vulnerable defense, which has great problems against teams with fast play and good spatial awareness. Their style is offensive-oriented but often inefficient going forward, regularly leaving space open for counterattacks. The home games are not a fortress despite offensive efforts. The high average goal numbers and a BTTS (Both Teams To Score) rate of 71% demonstrate defensive vulnerability and a tendency towards high-scoring matches.

    Rayo Vallecano
    Rayo Vallecano is significantly better placed with 44 points in 8th place, but also has a negative goal difference of -6 (36 goals for, 42 against). The last five encounters have been mixed with only one win. The team acts more disciplined and compact in defense than Las Palmas, however, the offense often lacks creativity and penetrating power. In away matches, they are defensively well organized but occasionally tend towards harmless attacks. Their BTTS rate of 59% and the average total game volume are lower than Las Palmas, yet they are capable of punishing opponents' mistakes.

    Injuries
    Las Palmas has to do without Kirian Rodríguez, their captain and important goal scorer, which significantly weakens their attack quality. Rayo Vallecano is missing the defensive key player Abdul Mumin due to a knee injury, which could weaken their defense.

    Head-to-Head
    The recent direct clashes are balanced, with Las Palmas winning the last two games, including a 3-1 away victory. This points to an open encounter without a clear favorite, although Las Palmas has held advantages over Rayo recently.

    Match Prediction
    Both teams have defensive problems and urgently need points. Las Palmas will play offensively at home to escape relegation, which should create spaces for Rayo, who can capitalize on their chances even if their offense is not impressive. The statistics favor a game with goals on both sides. Despite bookmakers’ expectations of a low scoring game, the probability of at least two goals and both teams scoring prevails. The double chance on Las Palmas is recommended, as they have advantages on home ground and will play with great commitment to break their negative streak.

    My Tip: Double Chance Las Palmas (1.35)
    Tip
  • Shelburn - St. Patricks
    When: 20:45
    Where: Irish Premier League

    Shelburn
    Shelburn currently holds 7th place with 19 points from 14 games. With 16 goals scored and 15 conceded, the team shows a balanced record but without clear strengths in attack or defense. Notably, there are 7 draws this season – almost half of all matches. In the last five games, Shelburn remained winless with three draws and two losses. The team struggles to dominate games and either extend leads or stop opponents. Offensively, chances are well prepared, but precision in finishing is lacking. Defensively, errors often occur, giving opponents good opportunities. With a high percentage of games where both teams score (57%), Shelburn regularly shows offensive action, but rarely keeps a clean sheet. At home, the team is more stable, but recent consistency has also been missing.

    St. Patricks
    St. Patricks is in 4th place with 22 points from 14 games. The goal difference of +7 (19 scored, 12 conceded) indicates a more reliable defense than Shelburn. The last five games produced a record of one win, two draws, and two losses, somewhat better but not dominant. The team displays a structured and pragmatic style focusing on ball control and solid defense. The share of games with both teams scoring is significantly lower at 36%, highlighting defensive security. Offensively, creativity can sometimes be lacking against deep-lying opponents, but chance conversion is better than Shelburn’s. Away, St. Patricks plays more cautiously, relying on counterattacks and set pieces, aiming especially to avoid conceding goals.

    Injuries
    Shelburn is missing Daniel Kelly and Paddy Barrett due to unknown injuries. St. Patricks must do without Romal Palmer, who has a thigh injury. The absence of key players could affect the tactical workflows of both teams.

    Head-to-Head Meetings
    The last five encounters show no clear dominance: both teams have won, and there was also a goalless draw. Results have been both close and high-scoring, promising an exciting match. The history underlines the balance and strong competition between the squads.

    Match Prediction
    Given the current form, St. Patricks' defensive strength, and the rather cautious playing style of both teams, we expect a tight and tactically shaped game with few goals. Shelburn will want to end its winless streak at home but faces an organized St. Patricks defense that performs well, especially away. St. Patricks will likely adopt a cautious strategy aiming to limit damage. Bookmakers see the match as completely balanced, with a tendency for a low score – supported by the statistics. Due to Shelburn’s offensive uncertainties and St. Patricks solid defense, the double chance on Shelburn is a recommended bet with an attractive odds level of 1.43.

    My tip: Double Chance Shelburn (1.43)
