Prediction 1: Cagliari vs Genoa: Genoa Solidify Mid-Table Position

• Date: 07/03/2025
• Kick-off time: 20:45
• Our tip: Genoa 3.00 with Betway

Genoa could be the biggest value pick of the weekend, as they travel to struggling Cagliari. Genoa have only lost four times in Serie A since the start of November. Notably, the four losses came against Roma, Napoli, Fiorentina and Inter Milan.

They have won six of their ten games against bottom six sides this season and appear to be overpriced to get a win here. This is particularly true given that Cagliari have lost four of their last six home games.

Prediction 2: Wolfsburg vs St Pauli: Wolfsburg Boost European Hopes

• Date: 08/03/2025
• Kick-off time: 15:30
• Our tip: Wolfsburg 1.72 with Betway

Unbeaten in six games in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg are one of Germany’s in-form sides at present. At the other end of the spectrum, St Pauli have lost four in a row in the Bundesliga and are winless in five. 

Werder only have a better win percentage against Bochum than St Pauli among all current Bundesliga sides. They have triumphed in 12 of their 17 Bundesliga meetings with St Pauli, losing only one and winning the reverse head-to-head 2-0.

Prediction 3: Nantes vs Strasbourg: Strasbourg’s March Continues

• Date: 09/03/2025
• Kick-off time: 17:15
• Our tip: Strasbourg 2.20 with Betway

Strasbourg have been rejuvenated under Liam Rosenior, and their reputation is growing rapidly in Europe. They have won nine of their last 13 games and are on a remarkable run of four successive clean sheets.

They have won six of their last eight away from home and are edging closer to the top six. Nantes have only won two of their last 10 home league games. The Canaries’ 3-1 defeat in the reverse is part of a stretch where they have won just once in seven meetings with Strasbourg.

Prediction 4: Getafe vs Atletico Madrid: Atletico’s Title Hopes Gain Momentum

• Date: 09/03/2025
• Kick-off time: 14:00
• Our tip: Atletico Madrid 1.95 with Betway

Atletico Madrid are quickly becoming favourites to lift the La Liga crown, having suffered just one defeat in 15 league games. They’ve had the added distraction of Champions League action in midweek before this clash, but that shouldn’t distract them.

Diego Simeone’s side have won four of their last five league games following Champions League games. They have won nine of the last ten meetings with Getafe and haven’t lost on this ground since 2011. 

Prediction 5: Manchester United vs Arsenal: Nothing to Separate Premier League Giants

• Date: 09/02/2025
• Kick-off time: 17:30
• Our tip: Draw 3.40 with Betway

This is the second meeting in quick succession for these sides after their FA Cup meeting in January. Not even 120 minutes could separate them on that occasion, and they appear similarly well-matched here.

Both clubs have an ongoing injury crisis and will likely be relieved to see this game behind them. Arsenal are lacking in attacking options and struggling to score goals, but they have a great defence. United, meanwhile, struggle defensively but probably won’t have enough to break Arsenal down.

Conclusion

These five outcomes all represent good betting value this weekend, and there’s a justifiable argument to back all five outcomes.

Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Sheffield United and Rennes all have historical holds over their respective opponents.

Burnley, meanwhile, are generously priced against an opponent they should have beaten two weeks ago. As always, please remember to bet responsibly on this week’s predictions.
