Celta Vigo played out a 7-goal thriller at the Bernabeu midweek, which saw them score twice in quick succession late on to send the game into extra-time. However, they were then picked apart by Los Blancos, as the match finished 5-2.

The Sky Blues have been one of the more entertaining teams in La Liga this season, averaging 3.05 goals per game from 19 matches, which is the fourth-highest in the division. This bet has landed in 9 of their last 10 games in all competitions.

Athletic Club have been less enterprising, averaging just 2.42 goals per game, but they have seen over 1.5 goals land in 8 of their 9 away games so far. When these sides faced off back in September, the game finished 3-1 at the San Mames Stadium.

Being enthralled in a relegation battle hasn’t stopped Cagliari from racking up the corners this season, in fact, only Napoli, Inter and Lazio have accumulated more. They’ve averaged 5.50 per game, rising to 6.30 at home, where this clash will unfold.

The visitors have averaged just 3.85 corners per game and 3.50 when you only consider their matches on the road. Lecce have won more corners than their opposition on just 5 occasions this season, which comes as no surprise given they concede a massive average of 6.60 per game.

In the reverse fixture, this selection came home in remarkable fashion, with Lecce winning an impressive 7 corners, but allowing Cagliari 10 – the joint-most they’ve managed all season.

Despite their struggles in the league, the 101 corners Parma have racked up ranks 6th in Serie A, above the likes of Atalanta and Juventus. They’re averaging 5.15 per 90 minutes which coincides nicely with Venezia’s average of 6.45 corners conceded per game.

This visitors have taken just 67 corners this season – the fewest in Serie A by some distance, 7 behind Monza who rank second-last according to that metric. They’ve lost the corner count in 17 league games already, drawing twice and winning just one all season.

In their 6 most recent games, Venezia have conceded at least 5 corners, with their opponents averaging as many as 8.5 per game over the period. In front of their home fans, Parma are expected to have a fairly easy run of it against 19th-placed Venezia, and will firmly expect to dominate all aspects of the game, including the corner count.

Werder Bremen will host Augsburg in their second home game of 2025, eager to build on the promising signs shown in their draw against Heidenheim. While conceding a last-gasp equaliser was a bitter pill to swallow, Bremen’s overall performance offers encouragement as they look to extend their strong record at the Weserstadion.

Bremen’s home form has been a bright spot in an otherwise mixed season. With only 2 losses across all competitions at the Weserstadion, they have established themselves as a tough team to beat on their own turf. However, their inability to consistently turn positive performances into victories has been a source of frustration.

In the Bundesliga, Bremen’s record of 2 wins and 4 draws from 8 home games underlines their resilience but also highlights their struggles to secure all 3 points. Despite this, Ole Werner’s men will be confident heading into this clash, knowing they have the tools to capitalise on Augsburg’s vulnerabilities.

Augsburg’s away form has been a major concern this season. Although they managed a rare away victory midweek, breaking a run of 3 consecutive Bundesliga defeats, it was only their first win on the road in league action this season.

Defensive frailties have plagued their performances away from home, with Augsburg conceding a staggering 22 goals in 8 away games – an average of 2.75 per match. At the same time, their attacking output has been equally underwhelming, managing just 0.88 per game.

These issues are unlikely to inspire confidence as they face a Bremen side that has proven to be a tough nut to crack at the Weserstadion. Bremen also hold the historical advantage in this matchup, having won 2 of their last 3 meetings.

The reverse fixture earlier in the season ended in a draw, reflecting the competitive nature of their encounters, but Bremen’s solid home form and Augsburg’s away woes suggest the hosts have the upper hand this time around and so Backing Bremen in a double chance selection feels like the most prudent bet.

Although it hasn’t always been plain sailing this season for Lazio, they currently sit in 4th position and are generously priced to overcome Verona who remain in 17th, 1 point clear of the relegation zone.

Lazio have won either half in 16 of their 20 league games this season, with the selection proving particularly fruitful given the number of goals scored in their games – 3.10 on average.

Verona’s games have surpassed this, averaging 3.40, which is useful because should Lazio not take all 3 points, in the event of a high-scoring game, the chances are that the goals will be unevenly distributed between the halves, allowing this selection to come home nonetheless.

The hosts have lost 14 of their 21 games to date and haven’t managed a win against Lazio since 2021. This selection has been a winner in each of the last 5 clashes between these sides.

Both sides were involved in midweek Copa del Rey goal-fests, as Osasuna beat Athletic Club at the San Mames Stadium to book their spot in the quarter-finals, meanwhile Rayo Vallecano were eliminated having lost 3-1 to Real Sociedad.

The result for Osasuna came as somewhat of a surprise, given how poor results have been on the road this season. In the league, they have managed just 1 away win from 9 games.

By comparison, they have won 5 of their 10 games at the El Sadar Stadium, where they have looked a much more potent attacking threat. Osasuna are averaging 3.2 goals per game at home this campaign, comfortably higher than the 2.1 average in away matches.

Although Rayo Vallecano tend to be more cautious on the road, they have seen over 1.5 goals land in 8 of their last 10 games in all competitions.
