Football Bet of the Day: Start the week with a bang

Kevin Hatchard returns to the tiller, and he's sailing us to Norway first.

Molde to play out another thriller

Start v Molde
Monday 29 October, 18:00

As it turned out, Le Classique wasn't quite the classic that Tobias hoped for, and PSG's 2-0 win at Marseille left him halfway to heaven with his Over 3.5 Goals bet.

We'll kick off our week in Norway, because Start are up against Molde in the Eliteserien, and we're hoping to be entertained.

Start are hovering above the dropzone, but have been on a survival charge of late, winning four of their last five matches in the league. An increase in offensive output has underpinned that improvement - Start have scored at least twice in five of their last six games in league and cup. It's therefore no surprise that all bar one of those six matches has featured at least three goals.

Molde are trying to secure at least a top-three finish, and are also on strong form, having claimed 13 points from their last five games. You have to go back to June for the last time that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team failed to score in the league, and 14 of their last 19 league games have seen an Over 2.5 Goals bet land.

Four of the last five meetings between these teams have featured at least three goals, and I don't think this clash will buck that trend. I'll back Over 2.5 Goals at 1.77.

Champions League Tipsheet: Barca to come unstuck at San Siro

Inter are in the best form of the Luciano Spalletti era and can upset Barcelona at San Siro on Tuesday, says James Horncastle... Intergalactic Inter v Barcelona Tuesday, 20:00 Live on BT Sport/ESPN Inter could not go into Tuesday night's clash with Barcelona in better form. This weekend's 5-0 win against Genoa was their seventh in a row in the league and it built on the team's best performance of the season, a 3-0 dismantling of Lazio last Monday. Inter are hitting heights they have previously not reached in 18 months under Spalletti. The team is playing good football, boasts the best defence in Serie A and lost causes like Dalbert, Roberto Gagliardini and Joao Mario are suddenly contributing to decisive effect. Saturday's victory served to underline once again that Inter are no longer dependent on Mauro Icardi for goals . The Argentine was able to put his feet up and keep himself fresh for Barcelona without his absence impacting negatively on th...
