Weekend Preview – top Euro picks at 60/1…

In Monday’s email, I did a price comparison between Erling Haaland and Jonson Clarke-Harris. Looking beyond the hype for the Manchester City forward, to make the point that Peterborough striker Clarke-Harris is actually proving to be the more profitable bet in the Scorer markets this season.

If we look at this weekend’s Anytime Scorer prices, the League One player stands out at an attractive proposition. Compared to 1/3 (1.33) at best with Bet365 for Haaland to score against Southampton in the Premier League. Clarke-Harris can be backed at greater than Even Money (2.0+) to find the net for Peterborough against joint-bottom Burton Albion. League One’s top scorer is going in the bet-book this weekend – see below for the best odds & bookies.

Win & BTTS – top Euro picks at 60/1…

For this weekend’s Win & Both Teams to Score (Win & BTTS) contenders, I’m going with the standout stats in this department from three of the top European leagues covered on our website…

Getafe v REAL MADRID – Spain, La Liga – Sat 8pm

• Real Madrid have played 7 league games this season – all 7 have had goals at both ends, and 6 have seen Madrid get the win. They are 4 payouts ahead of any other team in La Liga for this bet. Madrid also delivered for Win & BTTS backers in the Champions League in midweek, winning 2-1 v Shakhtar Donetsk. Getafe’s last 3 defeats have all seen them get on the scoreboard (2-3, 5-1, 3-1)

Stade Brest v LORIENT – France, Ligue 1 – Sun 2pm

• Lorient are 3rd in the French league, travelling to a Brest side who are just 2 points off the foot of the table, and 6 games without a win. Lorient are joint-top of our Ligue 1 chart for Win & BTTS. The visitors have won 5 in a row, with the last 4 all paying out with goals at both ends

Cremonese v NAPOLI – Italy, Serie A – Sun 5pm

• Second-bottom Cremonese take on the Serie A leaders here. Napoli have won 7 games in a row in all competitions, scoring 3+ goals in 4 of them, including a 6-1 win at Ajax in the Champions League this week. In Serie A, Napoli are ranked in joint-1st place for Win & Both Teams to Score this season, with 4 payouts overall – and all 3 of their away victories delivering in this market

In the standard Match Result market, a win treble on Real Madrid, Lorient & Napoli pays 5/1+ (6.0+) – anchored by Lorient at 2/1. That treble is going on the list this weekend. Along with the big-payout potential offered by the Win & Both Teams to Score market. My advice with the latter is to split a stake across the four lines of a Trixie, made up of three doubles and a treble. The Win & BTTS treble is worth a top price 60/1.
