5 Brilliant Betting Picks for Friday including Leeds and Lyon

The following is an analysis of five matches that will be played on Friday, the 19th of February, 2021.

Serie A newcomers Spezia pulled off a shock result last round when beating league leaders (at the time) AC Milan 2-0, registering consecutive Serie A wins for the second time this season. The reverse fixture ended a 2-2 draw.

My prediction: over 1.5 goals

22:30 Arminia Bielefeld vs Wolfsburg

The hosts sprang a surprise last round by claiming an entertaining 3-3 draw at Bayern. Despite that great result, they are winless in three games after conceding 3+ goals each time. Wolfsburg are currently in the final champions league spot and are unbeaten in seven league games (W4,D3).

My prediction: over 0.5 goals in first half

23:00 Wolves vs Leeds

Leeds United begin this round two points and one place ahead of their hosts following Sunday's 4-2 defeat at Arsenal. Four of their last five PL games have featured over 2.5 goals.

My prediction: over 2.5 goals

23:00 Brest vs Lyon

Entertaining first halves have been a common theme as the home league fixtures of mid-table Stade Brestois have averaged a league-high 2.17 first-half goals. The four most recent top flight head to heads with Lyon held here have witnessed atleast one goal in the opening 30 minutes.

My prediction: over 0.5 goals in first half

23:00 Betis vs Getafe

This week Real Betis are pursuing a tenth consecutive La Liga scoring appearance, as well as their first win at home to relegation-threatened Getafe since 2015/16. To reaffirm the likelihood of goals being recorded, Betis have not been involved in a 0-0 draw in 42 competitive matches.
