Fiorentina vs Inter
The current uptick in Fiorentina’s type is essential as they tackle Serie A leaders Inter.
La Viola usually are not but away from hazard – they head into the weekend simply two locations and 4 factors above the relegation zone – but there are causes for supervisor Paolo Vanoli and his gamers to be quietly assured they’ll bother Inter.
Fiorentina are W6-D2-L2 from their final 10 matches in all competitions. Last outing within the Serie A Monday night time fixture they gained 4-1 at Cremonese. On Thursday, they gained 2-1 at Poland’s Rakow within the Conference League final 16, finishing a 4-2 combination victory.
Central to their enchancment has been higher attacking play. Fiorentina have scored 18 targets of their final 10 matches (90 minutes solely), and a minimum of as soon as in 13 of their 17 video games in all competitions in 2026.
They could not forestall Inter, clearly Italy’s most interesting aspect, accumulating all three factors, however the possibilities of the hosts scoring, and contributing to an general excessive targets depend, are good.
Over 2.5 targets (broadly accessible at 8/11) and the BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE market at 4/5 each deserve consideration. Of the 2, we favor the larger odds on the latter.
Nantes vs Strasbourg
New Nantes supervisor Vahid Halilhodzic takes cost for the primary time this weekend. He is their third supervisor of the season and we have no idea what to anticipate.
This is the 73-year-old’s second spell in cost on the membership. His first was within the 2018-19 season, an interlude in a nomadic profession that has taken him to Algeria, Morocco, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and Ivory Coast.
Until we see Nantes’ fashion of play underneath Halilhodzic we now have no sturdy views on their broader possibilities of success. But a participant to look out for is JOHANN LEPENANT.
The former France U21 midfielder is considered one of Nantes’ greatest gamers. He is only as a no.8 with licence to get ahead. If he has impressed in coaching – as he usually does – he ought to begin.
Nantes are second backside of the desk and the brand new boss’ transient is to maneuver them away from relegation bother. To accomplish that, he might want to use his greatest gamers of their greatest positions.
With that in thoughts, the three/1 on LEPENANT within the 1+ SHOTS ON TARGET market seems too large. Visitors Strasbourg will likely be fatigued by their Thursday night time draw at residence to Rijeka within the Conference League.
A front-foot Nantes efficiency appears doubtless. If named within the beginning line-up, Lepenant’s possibilities of moving into scoring positions are stronger than the market believes.
Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid
A pressure-free Atletico Madrid can revenue on Sunday night time.
Out of the La Liga title race however with a Champions League quarter-final in opposition to Barcelona (Apr 8 and 14) and a Copa del Rey remaining with Real Sociedad (Apr 14) to arrange for, Diego Simeone’s gamers tackle metropolis rivals Real understanding that this can be a costume rehearsal for larger moments to return.
There could also be some rotation from the guests as they preserve gamers contemporary for these extra essential upcoming fixtures, however they’ve great energy in depth in assault. Whoever lines-up for the Rojiblancos, they ought to bother their hosts.
Atletico Madrid are W6-D0-L2 from their final eight matches in all competitions, however somewhat than backing the guests within the 1X2 market we favor to reap the benefits of their high-scoring nature.
Since the beginning of February, Atletico Madrid have scored two or extra targets in eight of their 13 video games in all competitions. The most up-to-date instance was their 3-2 midweek defeat at Tottenham, which adopted their 5-2 win over the identical opposition within the Champions League the week earlier than.
Expect Atletico to create good scoring alternatives this weekend. They have netted 32 occasions in these 13 video games because the begin of February (common of two.46 targets per sport) and are well-equipped to reap the benefits of any moments the place Real Madrid commit too many males ahead.
Over 3.0 targets at evens is value contemplating, however at larger odds we’ll take ATLETICO MADRID 2+ GOALS at 6/4.
