After another thrilling round of Champions League fixtures, attention returns to domestic matters this weekend all over Europe. With the season starting to reach a climax there is plenty to play for once again at both ends of the table. All the top sides are in action, and many are on their travels this weekend,  so after a lot of thought, we’ve found an interesting five-fold that could bring a tidy reward.

Saturday 18th March

13:30 CET West Brom v Arsenal

Arsenal kick off the Premier League weekend away at West Brom in a match they simply have to win. The Gunners got back on track last weekend with a 5-0 thrashing of Lincoln in the FA Cup which will have restored confidence. Arsenal will also know they have scored in every single Premier League meeting with West Brom and have lost just once of their last nine visits to the Hawthorns.

Tip: away win @7/10

16:00 CET Stoke v Chelsea

Chelsea will be aiming to do the double over Stoke having already beaten them back on New Year’s Eve in a thrilling 4-2 win. The Blues have lost only two of their last 17 matches with the Potters and are on an 11-game unbeaten run that does not look like ending on Saturday.

Tip: away win @4/7

16:15 CET Athletic Bilbao v Real Madrid

La Liga leaders Real Madrid head to Bilbao on Saturday hoping to extend their lead at the top of the table. Athletic have lost 12 of their last 14 games against los Blancos who have found the back of the net in their last 48 games in a row and will expect to extend that streak against Ernesto Valverde’s side.

Tip: away win @4/6

Sunday 19th March

12:30 CET Empoli v Napoli

Napoli take on an Empoli side who have lost their last five games in a row and were beaten 2-0 at San Siro back in February. Maurizio Sarri’s side hit three last time out and will fancy their chances of another win on Sunday against a team standings 17th in Serie A.

Tip: away win @3/10

13:00 Middlesbrough v Manchester United

Manchester United have endured a busy week but will expect to end it on a high at the Riverside. Jose Mourinho’s side remain unbeaten in the Premier League since October while Boro are winless in 10 and also possess the unwanted record of being the top flight’s lowest scorers so far this season.

Tip: away win @4/7
