Unfiltered WeekendBet Tips from Scott Thornton
Criticize, cuss, or cheer as you like, 'cause here's the skinny on European football action!
Pick 1: Como vs CagliariAssane Diao's absence means it's Strefezza's time to shine. This Lariani winger's on a hot streak, bagging goals and assists. Cagliari's right-back or wing-back better be ready for a tackling marathon! Put your money on Over 1.5 Tackles For Nadir Zortea.
Pick 2: Lazio vs JuventusThis showdown's a nail-biter – two evenly matched teams jockeying for a Champions League spot. With Tudor at the helm of a juiced-up Juventus defense, you can bet on Over 2.5 Tackles For Manuel Locatelli having a field day.
Pick 3: Bayern Munich vs MonchengladbachChamps Bayern might've clinched the title, but they'll still put on a show for fans at the Allianz Arena. Monchengladbach's full-backs can expect a far from restful game, as they take on Bayern's fleet-footed wingers. Predict Over 1.5 Tackles For Joseph Scally for some rough-and-tumble.
Pick 4: Bayer Leverkusen vs DortmundA tactical chess match between two teams habituated to tight defense and balanced offense. Daydreaming about 26+ shots at BayArena? Get a reality check; Under 26.5 Shots In The Match!
Pick 5: Barcelona vs Real MadridEl Clásico's no time for nerves, with Real Madrid's soon-to-be ex-coach Carlo Ancelotti aiming for one last trophy against Barca. Past encounters hint at at least 35 tackles. So bet your buck on Over 34.5 Tackles In The Match!

Como vs Cagliari: Cesc's Team Pushing Defensive Limits
Italy, Serie A, Saturday, 10th May, 14:00 (UK)
Como was never worried about relegation. With Cesc Fabregas orchestrating things, Como played lovely football that could put the team in good stead for the future. Five straight victories, none conceding a goal, speak volumes.
Cagliari, wrapping up a safe 14th-place finish, have nothing left to play for. They're likely to face Como's host of gifted wide players under duress.
If Strefezza gets past Paulo Azzi, the Cagliari right-back, our gut tells us he'll stir up some tackles. Azzi made three tackles during Rossoblu's clash with Cagliari earlier this season. So, if you're feeling lucky, back Over 1.5 Tackles For Nadir Zortea!
Lazio vs Juventus: Locatelli Shines as Turin Tackle Machine
Italy, Serie A, Saturday, 10th May, 17:00 (UK)
Two teams battling for a Champions League berth – Lazio and Juventus are matched point for point. With a win crucial for both sides, expect plenty of tackles!
Igor Tudor's takeover of Turin has seen a shift in approach, with Juventus boasting the highest average tackles per game under the new boss. Should Locatelli continue to be at the forefront, a flurry of tackles is likely.
Empoli's starting central midfielders netted four and five tackles against Lazio last weekend. So take a punt on Over 2.5 Tackles For Manuel Locatelli.
Bayern Munich vs Monchengladbach: Quick Bayern Wingers Challenging Defense
Germany, Bundesliga, Saturday, 10th May, 17:30 (UK)
Feeling celebratory, Bayern Munich will look to entertain their fans in the Allianz Arena after clinching the title. On the other hand, Monchengladbach's season's been a hard knock, sitting 9th in the table with little chance for a European spot.
With Bayern's slick wingers capable of causing problems for opposing defenders, Joseph Scally might have his work cut out. Could see Over 1.5 Tackles For Joseph Scally!
Bayer Leverkusen vs Dortmund: Battle of Wits at BayArena
Germany, Bundesliga, Sunday, 11th May, 14:30 (UK)
Leverkusen's Champions League spot secure, they'll be hunting a win to put a nice bow on their season. Dortmund's resurgence under Niko Kovac sees them within touching distance of 4th place.
The match promises strategic high stakes, but might not see a shooting frenzy, with Leverkusen's home games witnessing an average of 25.69 shots per game. So, take a chance on Under 26.5 Shots In The Match.
Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Picking Up Where They Left Off
Spain, La Liga, Saturday, 11th May, 15:00 (UK)
Barcelona's dismantled Real Madrid's dreams of Champions League glory. Another triumph would virtually clinch the La Liga title and serve as a healing balm for their elimination.
Real Madrid, having squandered an opportunity to wear the crown as champions of both Spain and Europe, may be licking their wounds. If the past is any guide, get ready for plenty of tackles. Back Over 34.5 Tackles In The Match!
