Stats Picks…
The German goals stats teased us again at the weekend. On Saturday, our first 3 featured games all went to form with Over 2.5 Goals. But on Sunday evening, Werder Bremen 0 Paderborn 1 meant we missed out on the 3/1 acca.
Last week we went 5 out of 5 with our midweek picks in the Premier League. Today we’re having our first Stats Picks for this week’s action…
It’s Match-day Six in the Champions League – the final round of Group games, with qualification up for grabs. And there’s also a full midweek programme in the Championship.
The games are split 50-50 between tonight and Wednesday, with 16 Champions League ties and 12 Championship games in total.
Here are today’s Stats Picks…
