Andy Brassell's Weekend Football Tips Including Burnley Vs Brighton
European football expert Andy Brassell is back to share his three best selections for this weekend's action across Europe's top leagues.
As always, Andy will provide a fourth selection exclusively for Gambling.com account holders, using the latest odds from Grosvenor.
Andy has been a writer and broadcaster on European football for 20 years, featuring on TalkSPORT, On The Continent, The Guardian, Sky Sports and TNT Sports.
Burnley Vs Brighton, Saturday 3pm
A few weeks ago it looked like Brighton’s season was seriously drifting, and there were even murmurs about the medium term job security of Fabian Hurzeler. That has changed.
The Seagulls won four out of five in the Premier League before the break and beating big name opposition, losing only to Arsenal (narrowly) in that spell, and all of a sudden the doors to a European return are opening.
League Comparison:
Position | Team | Played | Points | GD |
10th | Brighton | 31 | 43 | +4 |
19th | Burnley | 31 | 20 | -28 |
This should continue here, with Burnley fighting hard, but doomed to relegation, with just one Premier League win since the end of October.
Scott Parker's side are massive underdogs on betting apps to beat the Seagulls.
Andy's Panel Selection 1: Burnley Vs Brighton: Brighton To Win - 7/10 With Grosvenor

- Andy's Panel Selection 3: Como Vs Inter: Under 2.5 Total Goals - 22/25 With Grosvenor
Sevilla Vs Atletico Madrid, Saturday 8pm
These are worrying times for Sevilla. They already made their coaching change and Luis Garcia Plaza’s debut ended in defeat at bottom club Oviedo.
It's now three successive defeats, winless in five and now only two points clear of the bottom three.
The good news is that third-placed Atleti arrive 18 points behind Barcelona at the top and 13 clear of Betis in fifth.
League Comparison:
Position | Team | Played | Points | GD |
4th | Atletico | 30 | 57 | +20 |
17th | Sevilla | 30 | 31 | -13 |
There is every possibility that fifth could be good enough for Champions League qualification anyway, so they already know how their La Liga season is ending up.
Diego Simeone needs to keep everyone fresh and healthy ahead of Tuesday's Champions League second leg against Barcelona and could do his struggling old club a huge favour.
Andy's Panel Selection 2: Sevilla Vs Atletico Madrid: Sevilla To Win - 23/10 With Grosvenor
Como Vs Inter, Sunday 7.45pm
After a little scare in recent weeks it feels like Inter could well be on the home straight to the Serie A title.
Monday’s big game between defending champions Napoli and Milan went their way.
The win for Antonio Conte’s team theoretically keeps them in the hunt, but actually bought Inter an extra point of lead, which is now at seven.
League Comparison:
Position | Team | Played | Points | GD |
1st | Inter | 31 | 72 | +45 |
4th | Como | 31 | 58 | +31 |
If Napoli are to have a chance to steal the title, they will need a favour from Como here, with Cesc Fabregas and his side probably Inter’s toughest remaining test.
Como are tough to break down and one would imagine a cagey contest here, with the home side also trying to protect their place in the top four.
Andy's Panel Selection 3: Como Vs Inter: Under 2.5 Total Goals - 22/25 With Grosvenor
Andy's weekend treble pays out at around 19/2 with Grosvenor.
