April Marks the Return of Tennis Clay Season, Top Football Leagues and LPL Esports Derbies

The World Cup qualifiers are over, so the spotlight is back on domestic football leagues in Europe. Tennis fans are also in for a treat in April, as clay season returns with highly anticipated events. There are also great betting opportunities for sports enthusiasts, with the best LPL teams scheduled to play this weekend. All the best odds and markets pregame and live are available at bet365 Sport, Stake, 1xbet and 22bet.

Top Teams Compete for a Champions League Berth

Manchester City is making a final dash for the Premier League trophy, as they trail Arsenal by 9 points. Victory on the road against Chelsea is hard to attain, but the visitors are in better form and have no key players injured. The hosts are also desperate for three points, as they chase a Champions League spot, but we expect them to lose, so consider the odds of 2.20 at Stake on Manchester City.

Dortmund is out of the Champions League, but they are well-positioned to secure another place for next season. The team is in superb form and plays at home against Leverkusen, one of the direct challengers. The visitors ended a winless streak last weekend, but struggled heavily against Wolfsburg. Under these circumstances, odds of 2.00 at bet365 Sport on Dortmund make a lot of sense.

Barcelona is likely to exit the Champions League this month, but are still favourites to win La Liga. Victory over their city rivals is necessary to maintain a healthy advantage over Real Madrid. Following the disheartening defeat to Atletico Madrid, they will come out firing on all cylinders at home. We trust them to lead at half-time and win against Espanyol, an outcome priced at 1.70 by 22bet.

PSV has already won the trophy, leaving Feyenoord to fight for 2nd place against several teams. Nijmegen is the best-positioned opponent, largely due to the home-field performance. As the two teams meet on Saturday, the visitors are underdogs despite their solid head-to-head record. The high stakes of this game suggest a draw, with 1xbet offering odds of 4.00 on this outcome.

Tennis Returns with Major Clay Tournaments

Tennis fans are in for a treat this weekend, as major tournaments on clay will crown their winners. Ostapenko hopes to return to her former glory on her favourite surface when she takes on Ruse in the quarterfinals at Linz. Risk-averse punters should settle for the odds of 1.70 offered by Stake on her victory, whereas those seeking higher odds should consider the 2-0 market.

Sinner and Zverev have both advanced to the quarter-finals of the Monte Carlo tournament after dropping a single set. They are expected to advance to the next round at the expense of Auger-Aliassime and Fonseca, respectively. These are talented players, but none of them is a clay specialist, so we like the odds on the accumulator bet, currently sitting at 2.10 with 1xbet.

LPL Brings its Finest Esports Teams on the Stage

This weekend is special for League of Legends fans, as the Chinese top division features the most exciting games this season. JD Gaming are involved in two of the most anticipated games, as they take on Anyone's Legend and TOP Esports. Sadly for the fans, we expect them to drop both games, although the series could well turn into tight affairs packed with excitement.

TOP Esports got their number in recent years, but on Saturday, they are credited with the second chance and odds of 2.20 by bet365 Sport. That's largely because of the narrow 3-2 victory in the latest clash, where JD Gaming exceeded expectations. Anyone's Legend are justly favourites with odds of 1.65 at the same bookmaker, due to their stellar late-game and sheer mechanical prowess.
