BARCELONA @ VILLAREAL LATE AFTERNOON NO BRAINER - 4 PM KICK OFF

Villareal have been one of the hottest teams in the league since the restart, but if we look closely they have not really any strong teams. Here they'll come up against one of the best teams in the world, and a motivated one at theat with Barca trying to hunt down Real Madrid for the league title. It's not often you get Barcelona to win a league game outright at this kind of price. 

8* play on Barcelona. 

MAJOR WAGER ALERT - SUNDAY AFTERNOON SERIE A TOTAL TOP PLAY

Brescia took a 6-0 beating by Inter last time out and they have allowed a total of nine goals in three games since the Serie A restart. They are 18-11 to the over (2.5 goals) on the season and as they are already all but doomed for relegation already, the motivation to play defense can't be high. Here they'll face a Verona side that has seen a combined total of 11 goals in their last two games and I expect a wide open high-scoring affair.  

10* play on OVER. 

LEGANES @ ESPANYOL LA LIGA BOOKIE BLA$TER

This contest features the worst teams in La Liga with just a combined 10 wins in 66 games between them. I hold visiting Leganes as the better side though, and wecan note that they won the reverse fixture 2-0 back in December. Admittedly, plenty of time has passed since and this is at Espanyol's home turf, but note that Espanyol have won just two home games all season.

8* play on Leganes +0.25. 

ROMA @ NAPOLI - LATE AFTERNOON SERIE A BOOKIE BLA$TER - 03:45 PM KO

I like Napoli to come through with a win when they host Roma in this Serie A primetime game on Sunday (9:45 PM kick off local time). 

Both teams have plenty to play for as they sit in fifth and sixth place respectively in the table, with only three points separating the teams. 

Roma are however in a bit of a funk following back-to-back shut out losses, and here they'll have to do without creative winger Diego Perotti who was sent off last time out, a tough break for a team already struggling to create chances. 

Napoli had recorded back-to-back Serie A wins since the restart before coming up short at Atalanta in their last game. Still, you must like the price we get on the home team in this one. 

8* play on Napoli. 

MAN CITY @ SOUTHAMPTON SUNDAY AFTERNOON BANKROLL BUILDER

Manchester City are coming off an impressive 5-0 rout of already crowned Premier League champions Liverpool. They have scored a total of 15 goals in five games since the restart and I expect to see plenty of goals when they visit Southampton on Sunday. 

The Saints are coming off an impressive win of their own after defeating Watford 3-1 on the road last time out. They are capable of putting up goals, but with 55 goals allowed 32 EPL games defense is clearly an issue. 

Neither team have to worry about their position in the table which should open up for a relaxed and high-scoring affair. 

8* play on OVER 3. 

PREMIER LEAGUE PUNISHER - WEST HAM @ NEWCASTLE TOTAL - 09:15 AM KO

Newcastle are coming off a 4-1 win over Bournemouth while West Ham defeated Chelsea 3-2 last time out. In the first meeting of the season West Ham left the pitch as a 3-2 winner, and I expect this to be another high-scoring affair. 

The home team Newcastle can play without pressure as they now sit 15 points above the relegation zone while visiting West Ham are in dire need of points to avoid relegation. The Hammers' 56 goals allowed over 32 games is one of the worst marks in the league, so they probably know they have to score two or three goals to win this one. 

8* play on OVER 2.5 goals.
