Hoffenheim have won 5 drawn 5 and lost 3 of their 13 home league games played, and sit 9th in the German Bundesliga with 38 points, drawing their last league game played 1-1 away against Struttgart. Bayer Leverkusen have won 6 drawn 2 and lost 5 of their 13 league away games payed and sit 6th in the German Bundesliga with 42 points losing their last league game played 1-3 against Werder Breman. Hoffenheim have already beaten Bayer Leverkusen 1-4 away this season, with Bayer Leverkusen winning this fixture last season the same 1-4 away. This is a very close game and could go either or a draw. Hoffenheim have only won 3 drawn 5 and lost 2 of their last 10 league games played, Bayer Leverkusen have won 7 and lost 3 of their 10 league away games played. I am taking Bayer Leverkusen to win this match tonight.

Burnley need a win having fallen into a relegation battle. There current form is poor with 4 successive defeats, whereas Wolves are doing well, with 1 defeat in 6 matches in all competitions. The reverse fixture this season was won narrowly 1-0 by Wolves, with the two previous league meetings drawn. Given Wolves strong form Burnley May have to settle for another draw.

Portugal have won 2 and drawn 3 of their last 5 matches played, and drew their opening game in Group B in the UEFA EURO 2020 Qualifier 0-0 at home against Ukraine. Serbia have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 matches played and drew their last match played 1-1 away against Germany in a friendly only 4 day's ago. Portugal did win both legs against Serbia in the ECQ in 2015 winning 2-1 at home as 1-2 away. Serbia are having their opening game in Group B of the UEFA EURO 2020 Qualifier and have gone their last 7 matches played unbeaten losing 0-2 against Brazil and 1-2 against Switzerland in their last 10 matches. Portugal have only lost once in their last 10 matches played that was 2-1 against Uruguay, drawing their last 3 matches played on the bounce. I am taking Portugal to win this match tonight.

World cup runners up Croatia look a good price to win away in Hungary. They have established themselves as a top side now having previously always been thought of as a dangerous team. Hungary on the other hand have been in decline for decades and are now no more than an average team that a side like Croatia would expect to get six points from.

The appetite for international football has very much been waining in Scotland for quite a few years now with their last qualification for a major tournament being the French 1998 World Cup. Many managers with impressive CVs have tried and failed to bring glory back to Scotland and now Alex McLeish faces the task. The appointment of ‘Big Eck’ wasn’t exactly welcomed by the masses and he has struggled to change those opinions since.
After ten matches in charge, Scotland have won four of those games. Crucially three of these came in the UEFA Nations League, seeing them get promoted from League C to B and guaranteeing them a play-off place for the European Championships. Therefore even if they crash out of Group I, they still have a chance to qualify. The prize is too great to be complacent over though and with a rather favourable set of opponents ahead of them, they should be targeting 2nd spot and automatic qualification.
They have definitely been impressive going forward in recent games with eleven goals scored in their last five games. However, they have done this by sacrificing much of their defensive resoluteness as they have kept just three clean sheets under McLeish with their four goals conceded against 92nd placed Israel (3-2, 1-2) being a particular disappointment in their Nations League campaign.
Scotland have a lot of exciting talent called up to the most recent squad and this should be enough to win the game, especially with them winning their last two, scoring three against a much higher ranked side than Kazakhstan. Andy Robertson, James Forrest and Ryan Fraser make up some of the more exciting players to watch but also Marc McNulty who has been handed his first welcome to the national side following his good form at Hibs.

Valencia begin the weekend in seventh place in La Liga. They are only a place and a point behind the final Europa League qualification position. It's going to be an exciting end to the season for them as they are already in the final of the Copa del Rey (where they meet Barcelona) and on Thursday got past Krasnodar to reach the last eight of the Europa League. They are unbeaten in 14 league and cup games since a loss away to Getafe on January 22. At home, Valencia are undefeated in 16 games with only one goal conceded in the last six games.
Getafe are fourth in the league and in with a great chance of qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in their history. They are in the final qualifying position and four points clear of Alaves. Getafe are unbeaten in their last five league games winning four of them including the last three. Of their last four wins though, three have come against the trio of sides currently in the relegation zone. Only two of their last 11 away league and cup games have been won with seven draws. One that wasn't drawn was a 3-1 loss at Valencia in the Copa del Rey. This looks booked for a home win.

Lille are second in Ligue 1 but 17 points behind league leaders PSG. Their main task therefore is to secure the runners-up spot and they are now seven points clear of Lyon in third. Lile are unbeaten in their last nine league games last losing against Toulouse three days before last Christmas. Home form is strong with nine league wins this season and the only home league loss was that Toulouse defeat. Their defending is impressive too with only nine home league goals conceded this season.
Monaco have had a disappointing season but have managed to get themselves out of the relegation zone since the departure of Thierry Henry. They are undefeated in their last six league games with three wins and three draws. Monaco haven't won in their last five away league games but have drawn three of the last four. They may have showed some improvement of late but Lille are in good form and can get the home win here.

After winning their opening league game in August, Athletic Bilbao had to wait until December 10 for the second to come along. That poor form left them in the bottom three but they have only lost two of their last 12 league games, both on their travels.They are up to 12th in the table, a comfortable 10 points above the relegation zone they once occupied and only four off the Europa League positions. At home they have gone eight league games without defeat with four consecutive clean sheets. That includes keeping out both Barcelona and Sevilla.
Espanyol are level on points with Bilbao and a place below them in the table. They had a terrible run of form in January but are currently on a five-game unbeaten league run. The standard of their opposition in those five games hasn't been of the highest quality. They have beaten Rayo Vallecano who are one from bottom in the table and 16th placed Real Valladolid. There were also draws against Huesca and Villarreal who are both in the bottom three. Away from home, they have no wins in their last eight league games. They have only won one away league game all season (at bottom of the table Huesca) so the tip here is for a home win for Bilbao.

Liverpool are currently 14 points ahead of United and have only lost once all season but under solskjaer united remain unbeaten in the league with one draw and 8 wins. They have won 7 of the last nine home games against Liverpool and only lost once and with Liverpool only winning once in their last four in all competitions they don’t look as strong up front at present and I think united can win this one.
