| Recent Form | Last Head-To-Heads at E Frankfurt | Recent Form |
|---|---|---|
Key Stat: Both teams have scored in each of Frankfurt’s last eight matches
Expert Verdict: These are worrying times for Fortuna Dusseldorf, who find themselves joint-last even though six of the opponents they have faced are in the Bundesliga’s bottom half. Eintracht Frankfurt, in contrast, are going well and their last two home matches resulted in 4-1 wins against Hannover and Lazio.
Recommendation: Eintracht Frankfurt
| Recent Form | Last Head-To-Heads at Lyon | Recent Form |
|---|---|---|
Unknown | ||
Key Stat: Lyon have won nine of their last 11 home league games
Expert Verdict: Lyon have come off the boil – no victories in three in Ligue 1 and the Champions League – but can return to winning ways at home to Nimes. The visitors won their first two games in August but haven’t triumphed since though four draws in their last five suggests they aren’t easily brushed aside.
Recommendation: Lyon to win 2-1
| Recent Form | Last Head-To-Heads at Sheff Wed | Recent Form |
|---|---|---|
Key Stat: Middlesbrough have won four of their last five meetings with Sheffield Wednesday
Expert Verdict: No side has shipped fewer goals in the Championship than Middlesbrough this term and their defensive resolve can give them the edge against playoff hopefuls Sheffield Wednesday. Tony Pulis’s team have lost just once on the road this season and the Owls are yet to keep a clean sheet in the league.
Recommendation: Middlesbrough
REFEREE:Peter Bankes
| Recent Form | Last Head-To-Heads at Celta Vigo | Recent Form |
|---|---|---|
Key Stat: Both teams have scored in seven of Celta’s eight league games
Expert Verdict: Two clubs who have already downed a Madrid giant – Celta beat Atletico last month, Alaves beat Real last time out – meet in Vigo where Alaves have failed to find the net on their last three visits. Celta are unbeaten in four this season (including three draws) but will be wary of an Alaves side who have already registered wins at Vallecano and Valladolid.
Recommendation: Draw
| Recent Form | Last Head-To-Heads at Real Madrid | Recent Form |
|---|---|---|
Key Stat: Real Madrid have failed to score in four successive matches
Expert Verdict: Real Madrid need to get back to winning ways but they may struggle to see off improving Levante, who have won their last two games, against Alaves and Getafe. Levante will be buoyed by the pair of draws they chalked up against Real last season, though this term they have the third-worst defence in La Liga.
Recommendation: Real Madrid to win 3-1
