Today sees a wide range of football taking place from the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first legs, to previously rescheduled EFL Championship games.
With such a variety of football happening this evening, we’ve picked out our top tips and booking codes for the upcoming fixtures.
Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid
Lautaro Martinez has been a consistently top-level goal scorer for Inter Milan since joining in the 2018/19 season, with his first season being the only one where he has been unable to break into double digits.
This season is looking set to turn out to be his best so far though, with the striker already netting 23 goals in 31 appearances. This leaves him just five behind his best-ever tally, which came last season when Martinez scored 28 in 57 matches.
While the Atletico Madrid defence is likely to be its usual solid self, we believe that Inter will be able to create chances throughout the game. With how Martinez has been playing this season we fancy him to get on the end of one of these chances and get his name on the scoresheet.
Lautaro Martinez to score anytime, 2.75
Ipswich Town vs Rotherham United
Ipswich Town come into this game in fourth spot with just three points between themselves and second-placed Leeds United, although both Ipswich and Southampton are set to play their games in hand tonight.
While Southampton have a tough game against a Hull City side who are looking to push into the play-off spots, Ipswich will fancy their chances against a Rotherham side who sit 10 points adrift at the bottom of the table.
Rotherham have won just three games all season and have yet to take a victory in the new year, with their last win coming on Boxing Day last year. Ipswich, on the other hand, are flying high in their first season back in the Championship after being promoted from League One last season. Two losses in their last 10 games leaves them in great form heading into the game, and we believe that Ipswich will win this one fairly comfortably as they look to push into the automatic promotion spots.
Ipswich Town to win, 1.24
Southampton vs Hull City
Southampton are in a similar situation to Ipswich in terms of league position, sitting just one point above the Tractor Boys meaning a win today would be enough to move them a point above Leeds and into second place. Beating Hull City will be no easy task though, with the Tigers in eighth place and looking to break into the play-off spots.
Both sides come into the game having won four of their last five, but with Southampton’s impressive home form this season we believe that they will go on to win this one.
Southampton to win, 1.55
