AS Monaco enters this Riviera derby as the statistically superior side, currently sitting 10th in the table with 27 points—five clear of a struggling OGC Nice. Monaco's confidence is high following an emphatic 4-0 victory over Stade Rennais, while Nice has endured a difficult winter, leading to the dismissal of manager Franck Haise in December. With Nice boasting the second-worst defensive record in Ligue 1 (38 goals conceded), Monaco’s attacking depth should prove too much for the hosts. 

Liverpool are just outside the top five, but their form is trending in the right direction. A narrow 3-2 loss to Bournemouth aside, they've looked sharp, hammering Qarabaq 6-0 in the Champions League and beating Newcastle 4-1. Manchester City arrive with more questions than answers. Once seen as Arsenal's main title threat, they've become less convincing, recently drawing with Tottenham after leading 2-0 at half-time.

Anfield has remained a fortress for Liverpool, who haven't tasted defeat there for a while. With the Citizens failing to win any of their last three away league matches, the conditions look favourable for the hosts. We expect the Reds to capitalise on home advantage and secure all three points.

Another high-scoring encounter could be on the cards this weekend. Bayern have seen over 3.5 goals in 13 of their last 16 competitive fixtures. Hoffenheim have seen the result in three of their last five games, and in each of their last four games against Bayern Munich.

Defensive solidity remains the hallmark of Simeone’s system, evidenced by Atletico keeping clean sheets in their last three league matches. Real Betis has struggled significantly to breach Atletico’s backline this season, failing to score in both their this season's 5-0 and 2-0 defeats against the Rojiblancos. With Atletico having conceded only 17 goals in 22 matches and Betis showing offensive fatigue, another "clean sheet" victory for the hosts is highly probable.

The most recent Serie A meeting saw Lazio edge Juventus 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico - a tight contest with under 2.5 total goals. What's even more interesting is the fact that under 2.5 goals has landed in 10 of Lazio’s last 11 away trips in Serie A.

Both teams scored in the last three of Valencia's games. Moreover, Valencia scored in 12 of 13 home games - 92%. Real Madrid scored in the last 13 games and should easily score against Valencia.
