The bet of the day
Bolton Wanderers v Oxford United – Bolton will win and both teams will score @ 29/10
A place in the Championship is up for grabs as Bolton and Oxford head to Wembley for the League One play-off final.
Bolton finished two places and 10 points better than their opponents, as they beat them 5-0 in their last league encounter.
Ian Evatt’s side have been a little vulnerable in defense in recent weeks, but they have scored at least twice in their last five games and have plenty of confidence in the final third.
Oxford should have some joy throughout the match, especially with Bolton conceding 10 goals in their last six matches, but the Trotters should have too much firepower in the final third.
Special of the day
Lecce vs Atalanta – Atalanta wins to zero @ 21/10
After suffering midweek Coppa Italia heartbreak against Juventus, Atalanta will look to get back to winning ways on Saturday.
La Dea lost 1-0 to Juve in the final, but they must win on Saturday to try to secure fifth place in Serie A.
Atalanta have three matches remaining, starting with Saturday’s trip to the Stadio Ettore Giardiniero, and they should have what it takes to win without conceding.
While Lecce have won just one of their last six home games, Atalanta have won six of their last eight matches in all competitions and have already booked their place in the Europa League final.
Atalanta won the teams’ last meeting 1-0 in December and another clean sheet seems likely, especially as Lecce have scored two goals in their previous six home matches.
Help of the day
Hoffenheim vs. Bayern Munich – Draw @ 7/2
Bayern Munich and their supporters will be happy to see this campaign come to an end as they failed to win the Bundesliga title for the first time in 12 seasons, being 15 points behind new champions Bayer Leverkusen and not even being still assured of finishing second. -up.
They were recently knocked out in the Champions League semi-finals by Real Madrid and could also struggle to win in their final game under Thomas Tuchel.
The Bavarians have only won two of their last seven away matches in the league, which does not bode well for away success in this encounter as Hoffenheim have lost only two of their last 11 home matches in the Bundesliga.
Two of the teams’ last four meetings ended in draws, and with Bayern out of trouble this season, there is value in another draw this weekend.
