Ajax picked up their first win in the Champions League during the week as they battled to a 4-2 victory against Qarabag, despite being 2-1 down at one point in the game. 

Ajax come into this clash having seen BTTS in each of their last two matches, having beaten Fortuna Sittard 3-1 before that European assignment.

Feyenoord have seen BTTS in each of their last five matches across all competitions, winning 6-1 against Zwolle last time out. 

They have an away tie to contest against FCSB in the Europa League during the week, which could prove pivotal in deciding the outcome of the clash with Ajax, given an extra day of rest to recover from their European clash.

BTTS landed in the most recent head-to-head meeting between the sides as Ajax ran out 2-1 winners over Feyenoord back in February. Ajax registered an xG of 3.54 in that clash, though we can expect Robin van Persie’s side to also contribute to the goal count with eight goals across their last two matches in the Eredivisie.

The top of Serie A is incredibly tight, so every meeting between the elite ranking sides is proving to be very consequential. Juventus are at risk of being cut off from the race at the summit of the Italian top-flight, with the Old Lady already sitting eight points behind AC Milan, who lead the way in Serie A.

Como were the most recent side to leapfrog Juventus in the Serie A table, so it’s important that Luciano Spalletti gets his side back on track in a meeting with one of Juventus’ rivals for a spot in Europe. Bologna sit two points ahead of Juventus in Serie A, having won four of their six home matches this season. Those games have produced 14 goals (2.33 per game), though Juventus can force a rise in this metric.

Juventus have seen BTTS in three of their last five matches across all competitions, with their seven away games in Serie A also producing 14 goals (2.0 per game). The most recent head-to-head meeting between the sides was tight and ended in a 1-1 draw, but the previous league meeting produced four goals as the sides played out a 2-2 draw.

Juventus have the appropriate firepower to cause Bologna problems with the Old Lady really strengthening this aspect of the side over the summer with as many as seven attackers that can be used in rotation. 

Sunderland have been at their best at home so far this season, with 15 of their 23 points coming at the Stadium of Light. It’s also where most of their goals are concentrated, with 14 of the 18 that Sunderland have scored in the Premier League this season coming at home. 

Only four sides have scored more goals at home in the Premier League this season than Sunderland, so we can expect the Black Cats to offer a sustained attacking threat here, especially against a Newcastle side that have been so poor on the road this term - and had to play away from home in the Champions League during the week as they drew 2-2 with Bayer Leverkusen.

Newcastle have seen BTTS in each of their last five matches across all competitions, and have struggled on the road in the Premier League with just one win from their seven away trips. 

Newcastle’s 2-2 draw against Leverkusen during the week was a good example of the issues that Eddie Howe’s side have faced on the road this term, with Newcastle once again losing out to a late equaliser after controlling large periods of the game and winning the xG battle (2.06-1.20).

Both of these sides are pushing for a position in the Championship play-off, which the Belgian Pro League breaks into at the end of the season. Both are still within touching distance of those spots, with only three points between them after 17 games of the season.

Gent have seen BTTS in four of their last five matches across all competitions, with the exception of a 0-0 draw against Westerlo, which was a game that should have produced a few goals with a combined xG of 3.21. Gent’s home form is also very strong, with just two defeats from their eight matches in front of their home fans - netting 15 goals in the process.

Royal Antwerp have won just one of their eight away matches in the Belgian top-flight this term, so Gent are the favourites for this clash. Antwerp have shown some decent form in front of goal in recent matches, with 3+ goals scored in each of their last two matches, with BTTS landing in three of their last five games across all competitions.
