Happy new year to you people, as I return with Foskolo’s weekend tips. Glad to enter another year we hope will bring us great fortunes with BestBet360.
Over the last year, this column has focused on games in the La Liga. I’ll be making a slight shift away from that in 2021 and taking more look at other games across Europe.
But we would start in Spain today.
ATLETICO MADRID vs ATLETIC BILBAO
Leaders Atletico Madrid are up against a resurgent Bilbao. Diego Simeone’s side have only lost once in the league this season: a 2-0 loss against their city and title rivals, Real Madrid. Signing Luis Suarez from rivals Barca has got to be the La Liga signing of the summer as his injury time winner secured victory for them last time.
Bilbao themselves have had a mixed fortune of results lately and shouldn’t pose too much resistance on Saturday. A home win is a very feasible result, and it is the first of Foskolo’s weekend tips. On BestBet360, this is priced at 1.57 odds.
Here’s another option I would jump on: more than two goals at the Wanda Metropolitana. Now I admit this is risky because there have only been at least three goals in two of Madrid’s last five games. However, at 2.47 odds on BestBet360, it is a risk worth taking. But if you want a less risky option then play over 1.5 at 1.43 odds on BestBet360.
AC MILAN vs TORINO
Milan suffered their first defeat in midweek against their main rival for the Scudetto – Juventus. This should serve as a wake up call for Stefano Pioli’s men who, I must admit, have taken all of us by surprise with their title push.
Torino on the other hand have only managed one win in their last five. However, they have also, only lost one.
So, Foskolo’s weekend tips first option for this game will be goals. There have been at least 3 goals in four of Milan’s last five games. I’m expecting that to continue on Saturday night. At 1.63 odds on BestBet360, it is well worth a punt. Torino have scored in four of their last five games, Milan have scored in all five. So, BTTS, is another good option at 1.66 odds. A home win is also a safe bet with great odds on BestBet360. This is placed at 1.77 odds.
UNION BERLIN vs WOLFSBURG
The surprise package in Germany this season are Berlin’s less-known team: Union. Beating Dortmund and forcing champions Bayern to a draw is no mean feat this season and I expect them to carry on their giant killing form.
Opponents Wolfsburg have had a mixed fortune of results with two loses and three wins in their last five. But, it has to be said, those loses have come against the very best: Dortmund and Bayern.
Foskolo’s weekend tips would go for a Double Chance of either side to win here. BestBet360 has this 1.28 odds. But, if you are looking for a risky but viable option, I would say a home win is possible. BestBet360 has this at a mouth watering 3.05 odds.

Juve win over Sassuola at 1.34 odds
