Past and Current Champions Play Mid-Season Derbies

Chelsea ended its winning streak surprisingly in the Derby of London, when the team lost to Tottenham without scoring. They have another opportunity to pick up valuable points against an archrival, as Manchester United comes to town. The Red Devils are in awful form, so we believe Chelsea will bounce back with a victory, an outcome priced at 1.90 by N1 Bet Sport.

Bayern Munich is back on track to win another domestic championship and can take an important step forward with a victory over Dortmund. This has been their most serious contender over the years, but the visitors are now struggling both offensively and defensively. This explains the low odds offered on the home side, so consider a halftime/fulltime bet at odds of 1.80 by Stake.

The city of Milan turns into a raging volcano on Saturday, when the local teams square off in the most anticipated Derby of the season. AC Milan is undefeated at home and has no players injured or suspended ahead of this fixture. Inter has played a lot of games recently, and fatigue is a big concern, so take advantage of the high odds of 1.70 offered by 1xbet on AC Milan to win or draw.

Liverpool are riding a hot streak, and will aim to extend it when they take on Arsenal at Anfield Road. The reigning champions have consolidated their lead at the top of the standings, but haven't defeated Liverpool in the last five direct matches. We believe the home side will benefit from the support of the fans and the lack of injuries to win or draw this match, so consider the odds of 1.60 at 22bet.

Euroleague Powerhouses Chase Play-Offs Spot on Friday

Barcelona and Valencia have always played exciting games, and this Friday fixture is unlikely to be any different. The stakes are high, as Valencia could secure qualification to the playoffs with a win on the road. They are an amazing traveling team, whereas the Catalans have failed to convert home-court advantage. Odds of 2.00 at Stake on Valencia to prevail with overtime included are worth taking.

Dubai has emerged as a strong contender for the EuroLeague playoffs, and home-court advantage has resulted in favorite status. Hapoel Tel Aviv is an incredibly experienced team and one that performs surprisingly well on the road. N1 Bet Sport currently prices an away victory at 2.30, which is terrific value since the Israeli team has crushed Dubai in the previous head-to-head games.

Last Chance Qualifiers for Esports Superteams at LoL Worlds

Team Liquid and LOS have defined expectations and defeated much better Asian teams to stay alive at Worlds. They lock horns this weekend in a critical game, as the loser will be eliminated from the tournament. The North American team has the support of the fans and a more experienced roster, so take advantage of the odds of 1.70 offered by 1xBet on Team Liquid to win 2:0.

Hanwha Life and G2 Esports were among the favorites to win Worlds, but after dropping two games, they are on the verge of elimination. This makes the direct game scheduled for Friday the most exciting fixture of the week. The South Koreans are favorites, but the European outfit has defied the odds many times in the past, so trust them to win at least one map and enjoy odds of 2.30 with 22bet.
