For all of the day's matches and live prediction results, take a look at our daily predictions page.

Trabzonspor - Galatasaray

Two very different trajectories meet here: Trabzonspor is in a bumpy spell with two victories and three defeats, while Galatasaray arrives on the back of four victories in its recent run. In this big Süper Lig rivalry match, title contender Galatasaray scores 2.4 goals per game and its matches average 3.8 goals. Trabzonspor's averages are 1.6 scored and 1.6 conceded, and both sides post an Over rate of 80 percent. That picture explains the strong rating for Over potential. Referee Batuhan Kolak will take charge at Medical Park Arena at 20:00. Can Trabzonspor's defense contain Galatasaray's attacking tempo?

Roma - Inter Milan

Roma's defense concedes just 0.4 goals per game, and the opponent is Inter, which scores 2.8 per game. In Serie A, this is a big fixture in which Roma host Inter, who are in the title race, at Stadio Olimpico, with kickoff at 19:00. The hosts have put together an unbeaten run of 4 victories and 1 draw, while the visitors arrive with 4 victories and 1 defeat. Inter's matches average 4.4 goals and the both-teams-to-score rate rises to 80 percent; for Roma's matches it is 40 percent. Over potential looks strong. Davide Massa will referee. With a solid defense and a hunger for goals pulling against each other, this is the day's most intriguing attack-versus-defense test.

Sevilla - Barcelona

The table points to two different worlds in the 20-team La Liga: leaders Barcelona with 18 points from 6 games, and fifth-placed Sevilla with 13. The goal difference gap is striking too: Barcelona +22, Sevilla +3. Title contender Barcelona travel to Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in flawless form with five straight victories and score 5.2 goals per game. Their matches average 6.6 goals, with an Over rate of 100 percent. Sevilla present a balanced profile, scoring 1.4 and conceding 1.0, and have taken 3 victories in their recent run. Among these eight matches, Barcelona has the highest goal average.

VfB Stuttgart - Borussia Dortmund

The tempo doesn't look set to drop at Mercedes Benz Arena: Stuttgart's matches average 4.4 goals, with a both-teams-to-score rate of 80 percent and an Over rate of 100 percent. One of the Bundesliga's upper-table sides, Stuttgart scores 2.6 and concedes 1.8, an attacking team that leaves the door ajar at the back. Dortmund, on the other hand, have taken five victories in a five-match run, scoring 3.2 goals per game and conceding only 0.8. Referee Tobias Stieler will handle the 19:30 kickoff. Over potential is rated strong; the expectation points to a fast-paced, high-scoring match.

Brighton - Arsenal

For Arsenal the picture is simple: five victories from five games and only 0.6 goals conceded per game. One of the main contenders in the title race, Arsenal head to Brighton with that defensive solidity, but the hosts are far from shy going forward. Brighton score 3.2, concede 1.4 and see their matches average 4.6 goals. Arsenal's matches average 2.6. The clash of two different profiles fits with Over potential staying at a medium level. Darren England referees the 17:00 match at American Express Community Stadium. Brighton's goal average will be tested against Arsenal's defensive numbers.

Tottenham - Aston Villa

Tottenham arrive with 1 victory, 2 draws and 2 defeats, and Aston Villa with 2 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats; both big clubs are searching for consistency. In the Premier League match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 14:30, the goal averages are very close: Tottenham score 1.2 and concede 1.2, while Aston Villa score 1.4 and concede 1.2. Their per-match goal totals sit at 2.4 and 2.6. For that reason, Over potential is flagged as weak/risky. Samuel Barrott is the referee. Among the matches with the lowest goal averages on the day, a cautious reading makes more sense here.

Lyon - Rennes

A European push brings two of Ligue 1's big clubs, Lyon and Rennes, face to face at Groupama Stadium (21:45). Lyon draw a bumpier line with 2 victories, 2 draws and 1 defeat, while Rennes are still unbeaten with 3 victories and 2 draws. The both-teams-to-score rate in Lyon's matches reaches 80 percent, and their per-match goal average is 2.4; for Rennes it is 2.6. Lyon score 1.4 and concede 1.0, while Rennes score 1.6 and concede 1.0. Over potential is weak/risky. In a match refereed by Mathieu Vernice, the most striking number is Rennes' unbeaten record.

Athletic Bilbao - CD Alaves

Two Basque representatives meet at San Mames: Athletic Bilbao host CD Alaves in La Liga (17:15). The two report cards are almost identical, with each side collecting 2 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Athletic score 1.4 and concede 1.2, while Alaves score 1.6 and concede 1.2; their match averages are 2.6 and 2.8. The both-teams-to-score rate is 40 percent for Athletic and 60 percent for Alaves. Over potential is weak/risky. With identical form and similar goal averages, the numbers alone do not produce a clear favorite in this match.

Day Summary

The most appealing match of the day is Barcelona's trip to Sevilla, with a 5.2 goals-per-game average; right behind it comes Stuttgart vs Dortmund, with its 80 percent both-teams-to-score rate and fast-paced profile. Enjoy the football and have a productive weekend.
