Burnley Vs West Ham, Saturday 3pm
This is the moment for both of these strugglers, their eat-or-be-eaten time, less a relegation battle and more a battle for the right to keep going.
Amid Scott Parker’s relentless positivity and some encouraging performances Burnley are all out of jokers.
They have not won since beating lost causes Wolves at the end of October and are already 11 points adrift of safety.
West Ham have plenty of ground to make up themselves, sitting six points behind a recently improved Nottingham Forest.
GAME NOTES:
Burnley have taken just 5 points from a possible 45
since their last Premier League win on October 26
Nuno Espirito Santo has coaxed better, more spirited performances from his team of late.
They were desperately unlucky to lose at the death at Chelsea last week - and being able to compete to such a level with one of the better teams in the league would have been unthinkable even a few weeks ago.
Andy's Panel Selection 1: Burnley Vs West Ham: West Ham To Win - 27/25 With Grosvenor
Andy Brassell's Weekend Tips:
- Selection 1: Burnley Vs West Ham: West Ham To Win - 27/25 With Grosvenor
- Selection 2: Genoa Vs Napoli: Genoa Win/Draw Double Chance - 22/25 With Grosvenor
- Selection 3: Bayern Munich Vs Hoffenheim: Hoffenheim Win/Draw Double Chance - 13/5 With Grosvenor
Genoa Vs Napoli, Saturday 5pm
Daniele de Rossi was billed as the coach to give Genoa back some bite and boy, has he delivered.
Their late defeat at Lazio (and we mean late - Danilo Cataldi’s winner for the hosts was in the 10th minute of stoppage time) last time out was their first of 2026 having started the year unbeaten in five matches.
Despite their injury crisis, Napoli remain hard to beat, but are now nine points off Inter at the top and have little margin for error.
This season, with all its peaks and troughs, is a far better attempt at a title defence than they offered post-Luciano Spalletti in 2024.
GAME NOTES:
Both teams to score has been a winning bet in each
of the last 5 meetings between Genoa and Napoli
In the medium term they have big players to come back, led by Kevin de Bruyne, and added rest after Champions League elimination; in the very short term, this is a stiff task.
Andy's Panel Selection 2: Genoa Vs Napoli: Genoa Win/Draw Double Chance - 22/25 With Grosvenor
Bayern Vs Hoffenheim, Sunday 2.30pm
Backing against Bayern is normally the first sign of madness but these are slightly unusual times.
The champions are no longer unbeaten in the Bundesliga.
Bayern have taken just one point from their last two games, eminently winnable ones against Augsburg and Hamburg, and their lead at the top has been cut to six points.
Meanwhile Hoffenheim are enjoying a stellar season, and have won five in a row coming into this.
GAME NOTES:
Over 2.5 total goals have paid out in each of the last
5 meetings between Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim
They are the second top scorers in the Bundesliga and won’t be shy at the Allianz Arena.
They arrive in third place and even if they remain clear second favourites, they are priced far too long for a team of their current fettle.
Andy's Panel Selection 3: Bayern Munich Vs Hoffenheim: Hoffenheim Win/Draw Double Chance - 13/5 With Grosvenor
Andy's weekend treble pays out at around 13/1 with Grosvenor.
