BETSiE Best Bets

BETSiE Best Bets is here, as she readies 19 of her go-to AI football predictions each and every weekend. From the Premier League to the Polish Ekstraklasa and beyond, BETSiE’s weekly best selections from around the continent are laid out for you to peruse below.
This week, Everton are tipped to make life difficult for Arsenal in England’s top flight. Inter Milan might be on the brain for Bayern Munich in Germany. Can rock bottom La Liga outfit really spring a surprise? And Le Pirates to fall short in returning much-desired loot.
Premier League: Toffees to make it a sticky encounter
Everton were beaten 1-0 at Anfield midweek but BETSiE is predicting that they will get a result when they face Liverpool’s closest contenders on Saturday.
David Moyes has suffered just two defeats in 11 league matches since returning to Everton. Both of those defeats have been by a one-goal margin. This means that this bet has won in nine of those games and half of the stake would have been returned in the other two. Under Moyes this season, the Toffees have scored an average of 1.55 goals per league game and conceded 1.09.
Arsenal narrowly beat Fulham midweek but an injuries to Gabriel and Jurrien Timber overshadowed the win. Riccardo Calafiori is also injured so Mikel Arteta has limited options in defence. The Gunners’ boss will likely rotate his squad ahead of the game against Real Madrid in the Champions League, boosting Everton’s chances further. Arsenal have drawn their last two away matches in the Premier League, which doesn’t bode well as they head to a ground they’ve struggled at.
The Toffees dug deep and earned a 0-0 draw with the Gunners at the Emirates. Everton have lost just one of their last six league games against Arsenal at Goodison Park, winning four and drawing one. Still, as far as AI football predictions go, this feels like a scary one.

Serie A: Tonight we dine in HELLas Verona
Hellas Verona are 14th, three places and nine points behind this weekend’s opponents, Torino. BETSiE has tipped Verona +0.5 on the Asian handicap market, so we need them to get at least a draw here.
Torino, like their neighbours Juventus, have been draw specialists in Serie A this season. 12 of their 30 league matches to date have ended all square. They have managed to win just four of their last 14 games in the league. Paolo Vanoli’s side have scored just 0.22 more goals per game than their opponents during that run.
Verona have fared reasonably well in their recent games on the road. They have won three of their last seven away matches. Their three defeats during that run have come against Napoli, Juventus and Milan, teams are considered some of the heavyweights of Italian football.
The recent head-to-head record at this ground also makes for good reading. Torino have hosted Verona nine times since the start of 2013, winning just once. Therefore, BETSiE’s best bet has won in eight of the last nine meetings between the sides in Turin.

Bundesliga: Sandwiched by Intimidating Inter Tie
The best bet from the Bundesliga sides with the underdogs. Augsburg are the longest odds on the 1×2 in Germany’s top flight this weekend but BETSiE has picked them at +1.25 on the Asian handicap market.
Jess Thorup’s side approaches this game in fine form. They are unbeaten in their last 11 Bundesliga matches, a run that stretches back to January 15th. Augsburg have won six of those matches and their defensive work has been superb. Over that period, they are conceding an average of 0.27 goals per game, 0.91 less than Bayern Munich and the fewest in the Bundesliga by some distance. Thorup’s men have also managed to keep a clean sheet in their last three home matches.
Bayern Munich will have one eye on Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Inter, so we should see a rotated starting 11 here. The Bavarians’ league form has suffered in recent weeks as a result of their European fixtures. Their only win in their last three came against a relegation-threatened St. Pauli. Backing the opposition at +1.25 on the Asian handicap would have resulted in a full win in four and a half win in two of Bayern’s last seven Bundesliga matches on the road.
The head-to-head record also shows promise. Bayern haven’t won any of their last six league away matches against Augsburg by a two-goal margin or greater. During that run, the home side have scored an average of 1.50 goals and conceded 1.67.

La Liga: Valiant Display From Rock Bottom Valladolid
Valladolid are bottom of La Liga and are almost certain to be playing in the second division next season. However, BETSiE fancies their chances of picking up at least a point here and is backing them at +0.5 on the Asian handicap market.
Pucela haven’t won a league game since January 11th. Alvaro Rubio is still searching for his first win as boss, but there have been some encouraging signs in recent weeks. The team were unfortunate to lose 2-1 away to Real Sociedad last weekend. Both teams has 12 attempts and finished the game with an xG of 0.71. A similar level of performance could be enough to sink Getafe.
Getafe are the second-lowest scoring side in La Liga, netting an average of 0.90 goals per game. Three of their last seven matches have ended in defeat but they have lost the xG battle in six of those games, suggesting José Bordalás’ side have been riding their luck.
Valladolid were beaten 2-0 when they faced Getafe earlier in the campaign but their record against them at the Estadio José Zorrilla is encouraging. They are unbeaten in their last eight matches between the sides at this ground, winning four. Pucela are also averaging 0.5 more goals per game than Getafe during that run.
- Valladolid vs Getafe Prediction: Valladolid +0.5 Asian Handicap (TRACKED BET)

Ligue 1: Les Pirates Unable To Pinpoint Loot?
Monaco come into the weekend on the back of an impressive win over Nice. BETSiE is banking on them recording another victory by tipping Adi Hütter’s side at -0.5 on the Asian handicap market as one of her favourite AI football predictions in France.
Brest have home advantage but their recent form at the Stade Francis Le Blé has been poor. They have won just one of their last seven matches in front of their own fans across all competitions. Over that period, they are conceding an average of 2.29 goals per game. The solitary victory came against Angers, who are just three points above the relegation zone.
Monaco, on the other hand, are one of the form teams in Ligue 1. PSG and Lille are the only teams to get the better of Les Rouge et Blanc in their last nine league outings. Hütter’s men have found the net in all nine of those matches and recorded six victories.
Les Pirates also have a dismal recent record against Monaco. Their last victory over Les Rouge et Blanc came in 2021. Since then, the teams have met on six occasions with Monaco winning all of them. Adi Hütter’s side won 3-2 when the teams met earlier in the campaign.
