Who will you be backing?
Algeria vs Congo DR
Riyad Mahrez has been in superb goalscoring form for Algeria in the Africa Cup of Nations, netting a brace in the first group game against Sudan before scoring the winning goal in their 1-0 triumph over Burkina Faso on matchday two.
Having been rested in the final group game against Equatorial Guinea, Mahrez will enter into this clash in full fitness, and with his sharpness and impressive form in front of goal, the attacker will fancy of chances of adding to his goal tally.
Riyad Mahrez to score anytime, 3.05 – 3W5K2TM
Ivory Coast vs Burkina Faso
Ivory Coast remained undefeated in the Africa Cup of Nations group stage, winning two and drawing one of their Group F matches, beating Mozambique 1-0 and Gabon 3-2, alongside a 1-1 draw with Cameroon.
The reigning AFCON champions, following their triumph in 2023, will now be aiming to maintain their undefeated run and bypass Burkina Faso to reach the next round, with their eyes ultimately on defending their trophy.
Given their impressive group campaign, as well as their record of winning five, drawing one and losing only one of their last seven meetings with Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast will be full of confidence.
Burkina Faso did also show positive signs in the group stage, winning two and losing one, but Ivory Coast’s quality across every area of the pitch certainly makes them favourites, and alongside their record in this fixture, we are backing the reigning champions to win here.
Ivory Coast to win (inside 90 minutes), 1.86 – 3W5K7NR
West Ham vs Nottingham Forest
West Ham United and Nottingham Forest head into this match each in desperate need of all three points, with the Hammers winless in their last nine games – five defeats and three draws – and the Tricky Trees suffering four straight defeats.
A victory for West Ham would take them to within one point of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, while a victory for the Tricky Trees could prove pivotal in their battle for survival as it would extend their lead over the drop zone to a significant seven points.
Although both teams are enduring moments of difficulty, Nottingham Forest have shown plenty of positive signs since the arrival of Sean Dyche, while West Ham were most recently devastatingly defeated by Wolverhampton Wanderers – who secured their first win of the entire English Premier League campaign.
Given the confidence destroying defeat to the Old Gold, we are backing the Tricky Trees to end their losing streak with a much-needed victory.
Nottingham Forest to win, 2.33 – 3W5K8YF
Sassuolo vs Juventus
Kenan Yildiz is having a superb campaign for Juventus, boasting seven goals and seven assists in 24 appearances across all competitions, including six goals in 17 Serie A fixtures.
The attacking midfielder has been particularly strong in front of goal in recent weeks, with Yildiz netting four goals in his last six Serie A appearances, leaving him in fantastic scoring form heading into this one.
Combined with Sassuolo’s poor defensive record in the league, conceding 22 goals in only 18 matches, we are backing the talented 20-year-old forward to get on the scoresheet once again here.
Kenan Yildiz to score anytime, 2.90 – 3W5KBPV
