Atletico madrid v sbayer leverkusen 23.10.2019

At this moment, Atlético Madrid is unbeaten in their last 11 UEFA-competition games at home (W9, D2), and without defeat in their last six UEFA Champions League (UCL) match when considered a pre-match favorite (W4, D2). Furthermore, they have lost just one La Liga game as a home favorite since the beginning of 2018/19 (W17, D5, L1).

The hosts also possess the psychological advantage of having knocked Bayer Leverkusen out of the UCL in 2016/17, even though Leverkusen secured a 0-0 draw in Madrid. Overall though, Atlético remains unbeaten at home to Bayer Leverkusen this decade (W1, D2).

Manchester united vs Liverpool 2019

With just one win in their last seven Premier League (PL) matches (W1, D3, L3) the pressure is on for Manchester United as they take on Liverpool in the North West Derby. Nine goals scored (1.13 on average) and nine points from eight matches in the league are hardly inspiring, but United have history on their side as they’ve lost this home PL fixture just once since 2010 (W7, D2, L1).

United put four past Chelsea here in the season premiere, but have since scored precisely one goal in each of their last five competitive home matches (after 90 mins) - four of those matches saw them open the scoring.

Liverpool, meanwhile, is out to equal the current record for straight PL wins as they could claim their 18th on the bounce here. They beat United by 31 points last season and the distance is already 15 this time around - yet the ‘Reds’ have scored a paltry three goals in five visits to Old Trafford under Jürgen Klopp.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester city 20.10.2019

A Crystal Palace side unbeaten at home (W2, D2) in the Premier League (PL), take on reigning champions Manchester City having held their own in the last three H2Hs (W1, D1, L1). The ‘Eagles’ have conceded just one goal at home this season, and have seen an average of only 1.25 total goals per home league fixture.

Indeed, their overall average of 2.0 total goals per match is the second-lowest in the league. Part of that is down to cautious starts, with a joint-high five of their eight PL matches being tied at half-time - all five were goalless at the break. 

After two defeats in their last five PL matches (W3, L2), City have seen Liverpool’s lead at the top increase to eight points. They remain the division’s highest scorers though (3.38 goals per match on average), and have netted at least two goals in every away match so far. However, they have claimed just three clean sheets from the opening eight PL rounds.
