1. Feyenoord v Emmen
Preview:
Feyenoord are far from title contenders this season, but at least they can fight for the third plays that will see them in the qualification stage for the UEFA Europa League next season, although they have secured a playoff place for the same competition. They are fifth with 47 points, five less than the third placed AZ Alkmaar and eight behind the second placed PSV, but the second place seems much harder to reach. Their form is variable in their last five matches, won one, draw three and lost one match.
Beside their improvement in their last five matches (2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat), Emmen are at the bottom of the table and are eight points below the safe zone and seven below the place that secures playoff-relegation match.
Head to head, Feyenoord have won their last two home matches with 3:0 and 4:0.
Beside Emmen's recent improvement in their form, i expect a win for the home side and also over 2.5 goals.
Bet: Home win
Odd: 1.36-1.40
2. Midtjylland v Vejle
Preview:
Midtjylland recent drop of points in their title fight, brought them four points behind the leaders Brondby.
Vejle are third from behind, but are four points below the place that leads to the Championship playoff.
After three winless matches, i expect Midtjylland to get back on the winning track and secure the three points in this match. Still, i'll bet on the double chance for the home team.
Bet: Double chance (home win or draw)
Odd: 1.09-1.12
3. Lille v Nimes
Preview:
On nine rounds till the end of the season, Lille is first with 60 points, three more than the second and third placed PSG and Lyon, and four more than the fourth placed Monaco. Ligue 1 have not been as interesting as this season when it comes to the number of candidates for the title. It will be tight till the end, as four teams are fighting for the crown, with only four points difference between the first and the fourth placed team.
Nimes are second from behind, but are not without a chance to stay in Ligue 1, as they have 26 points, two points below the safe zone and one point below the place that would see them in the relegation-playoff.
Head to head, Lille only draw at home last year.
This is a must win match for Lille, cause this are the matches that will get them close to the crown, so i am betting on the home win here.
Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Odd: 1.22-1.30
4. Juventus v Benevento
Preview:
With a win, Juventus can come closer on seven points difference with the leaders Inter, who wont play their match against Sassuolo today due to the corona virus. Now, that they are out of the Champions League, they can concentrate totally on the Seria A and with a good run of from, along with expectations that Inter and Milan will fall in their form, can hope to defend their title and safe their season. Dybala, Demiral, Ramsey and Cuadrado will miss the match due to injuries and red card.
Benevento are sixteenth, are four points above the relegation zone and are without a win for five matches.
With Juventus fully dedicated now on the Seria A, i expect them to have a good run of form till the end, so i'll bet on the home win here.
Bet: Home win
Odd: 1.18-1.19
5. Atletico Madrid v Alaves
Preview:
The drop of Atletico Madrid's form, can cost them the so wanted title this season and if Simeone doesn't make some changes in the players mentality, they can end their season from potentially successful to total disapointment. Joao Felix is the only player who will miss the match for Atletico due to red card.
Alaves from good expectations this season, can finish relegated at the end. Their poor run of form, put them where they are now, second from behind. They are only one point below the safe zone, but their poor run of form lately (four defeats and one draw in their last five matches), doesn't give them hope and expectations that they will get at least a point in this match in their fight for survival.
Head to head, Atletico won their last three home meetings.
I expect Atletico Madrid to secure the three points here and keep the advantage towards Barcelona and Real Madrid.e Seria A, i expect them to have a good run of form till the end, so i'll bet on the home win here.
Bet: Home win
Odd: 1.33-1.40
