Tip: over 2.5 goals. The game in Alvalada showed that both teams can score goals.
“Anyway, Sporting has no chance.” To silence the gossip, the lion took very good care of himself against the “ghost” who is the Premier League leader, starting with a two-goal draw.
If not for the luck of Arsenal in the second goal, we would now be talking about the triumph of the Portuguese.
There were four goals in the first match. Both Arsenal and Sporting CP are good at scoring (England average 1.4 goals in five Europa League games this season, Alvalade averaging 2.3 in three).
As in the prediction we put forward for the first game, the Gunners like to play in attack, which the Lions know how to use.
We dare not predict the winner, but this this is a match that will have over 2.5 goalsIt’s right. In the previous tip, we clicked “na mouche”.
Portuguese league: a game for those who don’t like goals
Friday, March 17, 20:15

Tip: Rio Avenue or draw and under 3.5 goals. The Azores, with six defeats in a row, Vila Condense score little on the road.
It is difficult to call Santa Clara the favorite game at this stage of the season. The Azores have three managers this season and seem to be stuck in the pit, registering six consecutive defeats and four in five home games.
On the other hand, there will be a calm team in the table, in eighth place.
Rio Ave is in top form and is becoming the favourite, but be careful, we’re not going crazy.
Away from home is no slouch either: they’ve only won once in 12 games, but they’ve already drawn five.
We advise you to win or draw. And also less than 3.5 goalssince Santa Clara does not go beyond an average of 1.1 goals in its stronghold and Rio Avenue 0.8 on the road. Betclic is high.
Premier League: Yellow smile for Chelsea

Tip: Chelsea and under 3.5 goals. The Blues are finally on the rise, but the goals are not up to them yet.
When we looked at fortified odd Betclic for this outcomeWe admit that we got excited.
It will be a game between the two biggest disappointments of the season in the Premier League, but at the same time it is noted that Chelsea are gradually gaining confidence with three straight wins, two in the English league, and getting what is on the outside disappearing.
Everton only have one win in 13 trips and when they leave it was kind of a party bomb with seven losses added.
The Londoners will want to take advantage of this fact to cement their recovery and are the favorites to win this match. But with few goals.
Chelsea are stuck at 1.2 goals per game at Stamford Bridge.where more than 3.5 goals were scored in only one match this season.
La Liga: Barça can solve title problem
Sunday, March 19, 20:00

Tip: Barcelona and under 4.5 goals. Barça have won three of the last four El Clasicos and no match at the Camp Nou has had more than 4.5 goals scored.
It is difficult to predict the outcome of perhaps the loudest derby in world football, but we love challenges.
For this reason, we believe that Barcelona will come out victorious in this match, and there are reasons to think so.
The Catalans have won three of their last four matches against Real Madrid. in all competitions, scoring eight goals and conceding only one in those triumphs.
That being said, and taking into account that Barça could increase their advantage over the Whites from nine to 12 points and decide on the title, and then in front of their fans, this seems the most logical outcome.
Real Madrid’s inability to score against this Barça in recent matches, and the fact that the blue garnet conceded just eight goals in La Liga, which makes us believe in a home triumph in a game with less than 4.5 goals – There were no more goals at the Camp Nou this season. The Betclic odds are incredible.
Serie A: Lazio fit and ready to score
Sunday, March 19, 17:00

Hint: the team to score the 1st goal is Lazio. Laziale scored first in 77% of home games, Roma conceded first in 62% of away games.
Lazio are third in the Italian league with 49 points, two more than José Mourinho’s Roma in fifth place.
This Eternal City derby could have gone either way, although the hosts have won three of their last four meetings plus a draw, while the Giallorossi have won two and lost as many.
Lazio have a certain favoritism, but our advice says otherwise.
At home, Laziale scored first in 77% of his gamesbeing a team that loves to press, have the ball and attack.
Roma, more cautious in fact, was the first to suffer in 62% of trips., so it is quite predictable that the hosts will score first. Again Betclic odds are unbeatable.
Portuguese Championship: Braga and Porto in opposition… quad
Sunday, March 19, 18:00

Hint: both will score. Braga have scored in nine of their 11 home matches, while Porto have scored in 11 of 12 away games.
This is a special game that is actually played by four people.
Braga, who lost in the first round at Dragau, hosts the blue and white at Pedreira, where they beat leader Benfica 3-0.
Minho is in third place, ten points behind first. Invicta are second, two points ahead, and the outcome of this meeting is influenced not only by a direct confrontation, but also by the fight for the title and for a place in the Champions League. In the care of Benfica and Sporting.
Braga won two and drew one of the last three moves with the dragons, and these two formations are offensive forces.
The Warriors have scored in nine of their 11 home matches and have an average of 2.1 goals in Pedreira.
The Blue and White lost only one game and scored 1.7 goals away. It is clear that there will be goals from both sides.
NBA: Cavaliers have what it takes to break the Nets net

Hint: The Cavaliers are winning. The Cleveland team has a good moment and Donovan Mitchell is in great shape.
This is a game between the two best teams in the Eastern Conference.
The Nets take on the Cavaliers at a stage where both teams have won four of their last five games.
The guests are thrilled, and even Donovan Mitchell, the team’s best-fit player with a 27.6 GPA, has already said the Cleveland team can dream of an NBA championship.
Donovan was recently injured, as was Jarrett Allen (eye), but both are likely to play on the 21st.
If this happens The Cavaliers will be able to snatch a precious victory in a very difficult arena and finally stamp their candidacy for the highest flights..
