Barca's fine form continues
Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao at the weekend to continue their fine run of form.

The Spanish giants are unbeaten in 14 games since they lost both legs of the Super Cup to Real Madrid. Barca have won nine of their ten La Liga games, which has seen them build an eight point gap over Real, as they look to wrestle the title back from the Spanish capital.

They're also topping Group D in the Champions League having won all three of their games. In their last outing Barcelona beat Olympiakos 3-1 at the Camp Nou, despite being reduced to ten men in the first-half when Gerard Pique was sent off.

It would be a big surprise if Barcelona did not continue their winning streak when they visit Olympiakos. The Greeks lost to Panathinaikos at the weekend, which was their third defeat in nine Super League games this season.

Back Barcelona to have match won by half-time
Barcelona are the heavy favourites at 1.26, with the draw at 6.60 and Olympiakos at 16.00.

The 1.80 on offer for Barca to win half-time/full-time looks like a good value bet. They have been leading at half-time in each of their last four victories, which includes the reverse fixture against Olympiakos.

Recommended Bet
Back Barcelona to win half-time/full-time at 1.80

Southampton v Arsenal: Gunners set for a night of frustration

Southampton v Arsenal Wednesday, 19:45 Southampton  Claude Puel has done a decent job at Southampton this season, but his future at the club could rest on how well his team performs in their last four games of the season. The Saints can finish as high as eighth or as low as 16th. A bottom-half finish could be enough to seal the fate of the former Nice manager, with rumours suggesting that the club hierarchy are considering his future. It's true that Southampton's Premier League campaign has been rather underwhelming, with the side struggling to find any consistency this season, yet Puel did guide them to the EFL Cup final. He's inherited a weaker squad than previous managers enjoyed, which has lacked firepower for much of the season. Charlie Austin could return against Arsenal to help to solve that problem, while the defender Matt Targett is another player in contention. Virgil can Dijk remains out. Arsenal The Gunners gave themselves hope o...
