There is plenty of top-tier football happening across Europe on Sunday and I’ve picked three picks from three different leagues (Ligue 1, La Liga, and Serie A).

We will be hoping to see goals in Italy and France, and a low-scoring affair in the Derby of Catalonia between Espanyol and Barcelona. It pays 10/1 with bet365. Let’s jump directly to the selections and rationale.
- Juventus vs Cremonese – Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals
- Toulouse vs Nantes – Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals
- Espanyol vs Barcelona – Under 2.5 Goals
Total odds – 10/1
Juventus vs Cremonese – Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals – 8/5
It is still uncertain if Juventus’ point deduction penalty is going to be reversed for the third time, so the only approach team can make here is to focus on winning their games just in case. Cremonese have revived their survival hopes after earning a big 2-0 home victory against Spezia in the previous round, while also holding Hellas Verona and AC Milan to a draw in late April. This squad has to beat the Old Lady on Sunday to keep realistic chances of avoiding relegation. They scored in eight of their last nine matches, so I see good value in backing the BTTS & Over 2.5 option at 8/5.
Toulouse vs Nantes – Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals @ 1/1
Even though their performances were solid for the most part of this season, even managing to reach the French Cup finals and play in the Europa League playoffs, team Nantes are close to getting relegated to Ligue 2. Their defense has been out of shape for the last two months, conceding an absurdly high number of goals. Four of the last six matches for the Canaries across competitions have seen Over 3.5 goals. Toulouse also enjoyed plenty of high-scoring affairs at home, so this should be an open duel.
Espanyol vs Barcelona – Under 2.5 Goals @ 11/10
Barcelona are just one victory away from securing their first La Liga title since Leo Messi’s departure to Paris SG. Blaugrana slipped recently against Rayo Vallecano (1-2 FT), but overall are looking good with four wins in their last five matches. Xavi Hernandez’s side also kept two clean sheets recently against Real Betis and Osasuna, and we wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case on Sunday as well. They are facing Espanyol in a city derby match where the hosts can’t allow another loss in their relegation battle. The first head to head match this season ended 1-1.
