Ismaila Sarr was brilliant in Palace's 3-0 win over Fiorentina last week, taking four shots in total and getting on the scoresheet in the 90th minute to secure one of the biggest victories in Palace's history. That commanding victory has put Crystal Palace on the brink of their first ever semi-final in European competition, and the circumstances suit Sarr getting chances to get on the scoresheet again here.

Sarr is really a level above the opponents that Palace have been playing in the Conference League. He's at his best when he's got space to run into, with his speed being one of the core aspects of his game. He should get that space here with Fiorentina needing to score at least three goals to get back into the tie. Sarr has scored six goals across his eight starts in the Conference League this season, just one goal fewer than he's managed in the Premier League - despite making double the number of starts domestically.

Paddy Power are also giving us a nice boost with their Power Price, taking Sarr to 4.0 to find the back of the net. He's priced around 3.25-3.50 with other major bookmakers to get on the scoresheet - so this boost is one worth taking given Sarr's record in the Conference League and the space he should be afforded with Fiorentina chasing the tie.

The majority of Bologna’s success last week came through their left flank, and Jonathan Rowe put in a standout performance. The winger registered six shots, of which two hit the target, and he found the back of the net late on in the game.

In addition, he created a big chance that Lewis Ferguson missed, striking the crossbar. Pretty much all of Bologna’s noteworthy attacks came through Rowe, and he should be looking forward to this matchup once again. 

The Englishman has only scored seven goals in 37 appearances across all competitions this season, but four of those have come in his last seven starts. He scored and landed this selection in the previous Europa League round against Roma, which shows that Rowe can be relied upon in the big games, and he is able to cause problems for the top sides.

Sandro Scharer only handed out three cards in the first leg between these sides, and Tommaso Pobega accounted for one yellow before he was replaced after 67 minutes. The Swiss referee was quite lenient in the end, as there were a total of 34 fouls in the match, with 19 committed by the hosts, Bologna. 

Pobega was given a tough time in midfield, and he was only successful in one of his six duels - he racked up four fouls, and had to be substituted early with a sending off looking likely. Pobega is averaging 2.1 fouls per 90 across all competitions this season, and has shown a tendency to be quite rash in his challenges. 

His job looks set to only get tougher for the return fixture - Aston Villa rank top of the Premier League charts for total fouls drawn this season, and they play with more confidence at Villa Park.

Aston Villa come into this second leg with a comfortable two-goal lead after their clinical performance in the first leg in Bologna.

Aston Villa had just 42% possession at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium, but when they did have the ball, they made it count. Aston Villa recorded just eight shots worth 1.57 xG, highlighting how their chances were of a high-quality nature. 

In return, Bologna racked up 19 shots, but they were only worth 0.85 xG - they struggled to break down their opponents, and it could be a tough night for them here at Villa Park again. The hosts have no reason to change the winning formula - they are likely to sit in again and play on the counter. 

Villa are so dangerous when there is space to exploit in transition, and that space should open up even further in this second leg as Bologna commit bodies into their attacks. 

Bologna will have to be aggressive and bring the intensity from the opening minute at Villa Park, given the context of the tie. They committed 19 fouls in the first leg, which translated to two yellow cards.

Bologna also landed this bet in both legs against Roma in the previous round - they recorded three yellows in the first leg at home, and another three in the second leg at the Stadio Olimpico. The Rossoblu added a further two cards to their tally in extra-time, as Remo Freuler and Lewis Ferguson were both carded. 

Aston Villa can be a frustrating side to face, and they rank top of the charts for total fouls drawn in the Premier League this season, which has translated to the most opposition yellow cards. Bologna also picked up two cards at Villa Park when these sides met in the league phase back in September.

Last week's Friday Evening Double won @ 2.0 ✅

This is a massive game at the bottom of the Bundesliga, particularly for St Pauli, with just five points separating the teams and the home side currently sitting in the drop zone. The meeting between the sides earlier in the season ended in a 1-1 draw, with Koln being a little unlucky to lose a few points in that clash having conceded from St Pauli’s solitary effort on target.

Koln have seen 2+ goals in each of their last five matches across all competitions, most recently coming away 3-1 winners over Werder Bremen at home, which was a massive three points in their hunt for survival. However, this was the first win that Koln have managed since the end of January - so there is a vulnerability about the away side which can be exploited by St Pauli.

St Pauli have also failed to win any of their last five matches in the Bundesliga, a run that has slowly distanced them from safety. They’ve only won four of their 14 home games in the Bundesliga this season, conceding 25 goals across these matches (1.78 per game). 

Last week's Friday Evening Double won @ 2.0 ✅

Lens are inches away from creating a bit of history in the French top flight. They’ve become the first side in nearly 10 years to actually lay down a significant challenge to the dominance of PSG, currently sitting four points behind Luis Enrique’s side ahead of the final stretch of the season.

Lens will have to be close to perfect from here on in if they are to get close to the Ligue 1 title, with PSG holding a game in hand on their challengers - though that game in hand is against Lens, so the chasing side do still have a realistic chance of making this a close race between now and the end of the season. 

Lens came away 3-0 winners when these sides met earlier in the season, aided by Toulouse being reduced to 10 men in the first half. Lens boast the best home record of any side in Ligue 1 this term, winning 12 of their 14 matches in front of their home fans. They’ve scored 31 goals across these games, and only conceded nine - making this look like a really tough assignment for Toulouse on paper.

Leverkusen have improved as the season has unfolded after struggling in the early parts of the season under Erik Ten Hag, who was swiftly dismissed after a poor start to the campaign. Leverkusen netted six goals in their most recent home game as they battered Wolfsburg, coming away 6-3 winners in that clash - and they have a very appealing record at home to back them to score at least twice here.

Leverkusen have avoided defeat in 11 of their 14 home matches in the Bundesliga this season. They’ve held the likes of Bayern and Arsenal at home over recent weeks, which shows just how hard it is to get a result away at Leverkusen at the moment. They’ve scored 32 goals across these matches, working out to an average of 2.28 goals per game in front of their home fans. They have plenty of motivation here too, they are currently four points behind Leipzig in the race for a Champions League finish, with Hoffenheim also not out of that race yet.

Leverkusen welcome an Augsburg side who have been dreadful on the road in the Bundesliga this season - winning just three of their 14 away matches. They’ve conceded 27 goals across these games, with only four sides conceding more goals on the road in the Bundesliga this season. Augsburg have failed to win any of their last five matches, conceding 2+ goals in four of these games.

The initial league meeting between these sides saw BTTS as Wimbledon came away 2-1 winners over Plymouth. Wimbledon find themselves in a very different situation to where they were for that clash, coming into this game having lost each of their last five matches across all competitions - leaving them just three points above the drop zone.

Wimbledon have failed to score in any of these matches, which could be a concern, but they’ve been playing some of the best sides in the division across this recent run - including Stockport, Luton and Lincoln. They take on a Plymouth side who just conceded two goals against another relegation threatened side in Exeter at home, so they should be defensively vulnerable enough for Wimbledon to pose an attacking threat in this must win game for the home side.

Plymouth have seen BTTS in three of their last five matches across all competitions, and have notably conceded 26 goals across their 20 away games in League One this season - also scoring 35 goals themselves, which is more than any other side on the road in League One this season. 

The respective clean sheet records for both of these sides also make goals at both ends likely. Only Barnsley (3) have kept fewer clean sheets in League One this season than Wimbledon (7), while Plymouth have only kept 12 shutouts across their 42 matches in the division (28%). 

Given where both teams sit in the table, Notts County v Barnet should see goals. County are still firmly in the hunt for automatic promotion, while Barnet are pushing for a play off spot.

Notts County come into this game in patchy form - just 6 points from a possible 15, after being punished by promotion rivals Cambridge last time out in a 4-0 defeat. They need a win to climb back into the automatic places, despite sitting pretty comfortably in the automatic spots just a few weeks. 

Goals have flowed in their last five matches, with 16 in total (3.20 per game). However, they’ve been leaky at the back, scoring 6 but conceding 10. Despite being shut out by Cambridge last time, it’s unlikely they’ll draw another blank here. They’ve scored the second most goals in the division (1.65 per game) and face a Barnet side that has managed just one clean sheet in their last eight.

Barnet’s recent matches have been even more goal-heavy - 21 goals across their last five games, averaging 4.20 per match. They’ve also won four of those five, so confidence is high.

With both sides desperate for a result and recent form pointing toward plenty of action at both ends, this game looks primed to produce at least two goals.

This is a big matchup in the battle for Champions League places, especially for Chelsea, who trail Manchester United by seven points heading into kickoff. Liam Rosenior’s side have lost three straight Premier League games without managing a single goal. Two of those defeats came at home, including a flat 3-0 loss to Manchester City most recently.

The first league meeting between these two finished with exactly three goals, as Manchester United won 2-1 against Chelsea - largely because Chelsea had Rob Sanchez sent off within the first three minutes.

Chelsea have seen three or more goals in each of their last four matches across all competitions, conceding three goals in three of those games. They’re really missing Trevoh Chalobah and Levi Colwill, their two best centre-backs, so you’d expect the Chelsea defence to struggle again here against a side that has taken more shots than any other Premier League team this season.

Manchester United’s matches have been pretty chaotic under Michael Carrick as well. They’ve seen three or more goals in each of their last five games heading into this trip to Stamford Bridge, and can put all their focus on qualifying for the Champions League since United are only competing on one front.
