Lopetegui on brink as Madrid malaise continues

Ordinarily this match would almost be guaranteed to be a routine home win that had the potential to be embarrassing for the visitors, but these are not ordinary times at Real Madrid.
The Spanish giants are now without a win in their last five games (D1 L4), after losing 2-1 at home to Levante at the weekend. Marcelo's 72nd minute goal broke a painful spell of 481 accumulated minutes without a goal.
Unsurprisingly, Julen Lopetegui is under huge pressure and it would be no surprise if he were sacked before this match takes place on Tuesday. If he survives the game and it's aftermath, then Sunday's El Clasico could finish him off.
Despite Real's abject form, it would still be a massive shock if they failed to beat Viktoria Plzen, who were thrashed 5-0 by Roma in their most recent Champions League outing. Plzen are currently second in the Czech Liga and dropped points at the weekend in an away match against Bohemians, in which they twice had to come back from behind.

Value lies with low scoring game

Real Madrid have scarcely been worse in recent history, yet their odds are refusing to budge, so there's no value to be found in any of the match results markets.
There are however opportunities in the over/under markets, given Madrid's current struggles with scoring goals. Under 2.5 goals is tempting at odds as big at 4.30, but you can play it safer with under 3.5 goals at 2.36 and still more than double your stake.

Back under 3.5 goals between Real Madrid and Plzen at 2.36

Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund: Eagles to build a wall in Berlin

By
Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund Saturday 27 May, 19:00 Live on BT Sport ESPN Eintracht Frankfurt This time last season, Eintracht Frankfurt were  fighting for survival  in a Bundesliga playoff against second-tier side Nurnberg. Fast forward a year, and they are preparing for their first major cup final since 2006, having finished well clear of relegation trouble this term. Having steered the Eagles through that playoff against Nurnberg, coach  Niko Kovac  set about galvanising not just the squad, but the entire club. Working with sporting director Bruno Hubner and former Germany striker Fredi Bobic,  Kovac has injected new life into an organisation that was drifting. Youngsters like defender  Jesus Vallejo  and forward Ante Rebic have been brought in on loan to good effect, and astute pickups like holding midfielder Omar Mascarell and forward Branimir Hrgota have become effective cogs in the machine. Although Frankfurt have twice...
