Morocco vs Tanzania
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Morocco’s march through World Cup qualifying has been defined by clinical efficiency. Their victory over Niger was a prime example of how this team respond under pressure. Despite falling behind, the Atlas Lions rallied to win 2-1 thanks to second-half goals from Ismael Saibari and Bilal El Khannouss. It extended their unbeaten run to 11 matches, with nine of those resulting in victory. They’ve bagged 22 goals in their last five outings—numbers that underscore both attacking potency and depth in quality.
While Morocco are solid favourites at home, Tanzania are not without attacking intent. The Taifa Stars have scored in all three of their qualifiers and will look to cause problems, especially against a side potentially rotating key players. However, they have rarely been convincing at the back and will likely struggle to keep out a Morocco side brimming with confidence. Expect the hosts to assert control—but not without resistance.
Best Bet – Morocco to Win and Both Teams to Score
Arsenal to Win to Nil | |
5/4 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Arsenal’s defensive structure and history against promoted sides at the Emirates makes them tough to oppose. Leeds’ away record in London is poor, and injuries weaken their midfield. Arsenal should secure three points without conceding. | |
Bolivia vs Uruguay
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Uruguay make a daunting trip to Bolivia’s high-altitude home, El Alto, where the oxygen is thin and football becomes a different beast. La Celeste have been stuttering recently, picking up just one win from their last seven qualifiers, and travel form has been inconsistent under Marcelo Bielsa. A 1-0 loss to Argentina last week showed their struggles when facing disciplined teams. However, with the likes of Darwin Núñez and Facundo Pellistri offering speed and verticality, they remain dangerous going forward.
Bolivia, meanwhile, are banking on their home advantage in what could be a last roll of the dice in their quest for qualification. With Miguelito providing a rare spark in attack, they’ve managed to find goals in key home matches. They beat Venezuela and Colombia here already, and facing a Uruguay side that has leaked goals away from Montevideo, there’s every reason to believe they’ll at least get on the scoresheet—even if they don’t come away with points.
Best Bet – Both Teams to Score
Atletico Madrid to Win and Over 2.5 Goals | |
20/21 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Atletico must respond after defeat, and at home they usually do. Elche’s squad lacks the experience to resist sustained pressure. A solid win for Atletico, likely covering the 1.5 goals line, looks highly probable. | |
Argentina vs Brazil
Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Two giants of South American football collide in Buenos Aires, but don’t expect a goal fest. Argentina may have edged out Uruguay last time, but they remain without Messi, Lautaro Martínez, and Paulo Dybala—three huge losses in the attacking department. Thiago Almada remains the bright spark, but he’s more creator than poacher, and Julian Alvarez has had to shoulder the scoring burden.
Brazil, meanwhile, are also feeling the pinch. Neymar is out, Gerson and Alisson are missing, and Gabriel Magalhães is suspended. Despite a dramatic win over Colombia, the Selecao’s away form has been dire—only one win in their last five on the road in qualifying.
With both sides missing creative focal points, this feels more like a tactical battle than a shootout. Argentina’s superb defensive home record—11 clean sheets in their last 12 qualifiers—further cements the logic behind backing a low-scoring affair.
Best Bet – Under 2.5 Goals
Barcelona to Win and Over 2.5 Goals | |
4/7 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Barcelona are stacked with attacking talent and Levante’s defence will be stretched. Even without Lewandowski starting, the visitors should have too much firepower. Expect goals and a decisive win for the reigning champions. | |
Arsenal Women vs Real Madrid Women
Tyler Morris; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Despite trailing 2-0 from the first leg, Arsenal Women have every reason to believe in a comeback. Their record at home in Europe is impeccable—six wins from six, four of which saw them score three or more goals. Fresh off a 4-0 win over Liverpool in the Women’s Super League, they return to the Emirates full of confidence and scoring touch.
The Gunners will be boosted by the return of Victoria Pelova and Caitlin Foord’s excellent recent form. Real Madrid, for all their recent success—including a historic win over Barcelona—are still vulnerable on the road in Europe, having lost five of their last nine away games in the competition.
This match is not just about chasing a deficit; it’s about defending a proud European record. With the crowd behind them and attacking weapons in form, Arsenal Women are poised to rise to the challenge.
Best Bet – Arsenal Women to Win
AC Milan to Win with Over 2.5 Goals | |
17/20 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Milan are rejuvenated under Allegri and have the squad to control this contest. Cremonese rarely fare well on opening day and are outmatched at San Siro. Milan should secure victory with more than one goal. | |
Tuesday’s Super Double
Two fresh picks for added value in today’s betting slate.
Carlisle vs MK Dons – Match to End in a Draw
Two teams scrapping to escape mediocrity. Carlisle are battling for survival while MK Dons remain directionless on the road. Neither looks convincing enough to edge this one.
Argentina vs Brazil – Both Teams to Score: No
Given the attacking absentees and defensive strengths on both sides, a clean sheet for at least one of these sides feels likely.
Saturday’s Super Double | |
3/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Today’s Super Double backs defensive powerhouses. Atletico should dominate Elche at home without conceding, while Milan are expected to win comfortably against Cremonese, who lack the quality to breach Allegri’s restructured defence. Two strong “win to nil” style picks combine for excellent value across Europe’s Saturday fixtures. | |
