Player to score – Julio Enciso (Brighton v Wolves) 10/3

Julio Enciso has enjoyed a breakthrough at Brighton in recent weeks with the 19-year-old scoring in matches against Bournemouth and Chelsea. Indeed, the youngster is an increasingly important player for the Seagulls who face Wolves this weekend looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Nottingham Forest.

Even in defeat to Forest, Enciso was presented with opportunities to find the back of the net. There have been over 2.5 total goals in the last three Premier League matches Brighton have played and they will look to play on the front foot as Wolves visit the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

Under 2.5 total goals – Roma v AC Milan (13/25)

Saturday’s clash between Roma and AC Milan could have a big bearing on the race to finish in Serie A’s top four places this season with both clubs desperate to qualify for next season’s Champions League. Roma enter the fixture on the back of a disappointing defeat to Atalanta while AC Milan are unbeaten in six games (all competitions).

There have been under 2.5 total goals scored in AC Milan’s last three league matches while Roma have struggled to score against opponents who stay compact and play with a low defensive line, as Stefano Pioli’s team frequently do. With so much at stake, this could be a cagey encounter decided by a single goal.

 

Match to be a draw – Crystal Palace v West Ham (19/10)

Roy Hodgson’s return to Crystal Palace saw the Selhurst Park club achieve a new manager bounce with three successive wins. Since then, though, Palace have taken just one point from two games, suggesting they believe their are somewhat safe from getting pulled back into the relegation fight again.

West Ham could be just one win away from also pulling away from relegation trouble and are in relatively good form despite losing to Liverpool, when they had opportunities to score more than one, during the week. All things considered, both teams might settle for a point.

 

Both teams to score – Bochum v Borussia Dortmund (13/20)

Borussia Dortmund have a golden opportunity to stretch their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table to four points with Bayern Munich not playing until Sunday. The Black and Yellows have been in free-scoring form of late, netting nine times in their last three league games, but their defence has also been vulnerable.

Last week’s 4-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt is the only clean sheet Dortmund have kept in their last nine matches in all competitions. Bochum might be sitting just outside the relegation zone near the foot of the table, but they have found the back of the net in each of their last six games.

Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday with both teams chasing a place in the top four. The Reds are favourites to claim three points and have won the second half of each of their last four matches. On top of this, Jurgen Klopp’s team have found the back of the net 12 times in their last four league outings.

Mohamed Salah didn’t score in the mid-week win over West Ham, but the Egyptian netted four times in the three games before that and there’s good reason to believe he will be a threat against a Tottenham Hotspur team that has conceded 11 goals in their last three Premier League fixtures.
