We’ve got more domestic action to enjoy from the Premier League to La Liga and here at FIRST, we’ve picked out our five fancies.

Leg 1 – Brentford draw no bet vs Aston Villa @ 33/50 [Saturday 5:30pm]

Brentford and Aston Villa face off at the Gtech Community stadium, with both sides desperate to win to close the gap on the European spots.

Unai Emery's men are 10th, with the Bees one spot behind. But given there is only four points separating 10th to fifth in the league, there is still a genuine chance of closing the gap. 

A victory would see Villa move to within two points of the top four, while Brentford could end up six points off fourth.

Villa come into Saturday's clash on the back of their impressive 3-1 Champions League win at Club Brugge, which may have taken a lot out of them.

Brentford are third in the form table over the last five games, and when you add in Villa's record after European matches (won one, drawn three, lost four), backing a Brentford draw no bet makes sense.

Leg 2 – Both teams to score in Tottenham vs Bournemouth @ 3/10 [Sunday 2pm]

Tottenham host Bournemouth on Sunday, with the Cherries aiming to close the gap on the Premier League’s top four.

Bournemouth are seventh and four points off the guaranteed Champions League spots, while Tottenham are down in 13th.

Despite their positions, Spurs have won three of their last four with Bournemouth losing three of their last four.

Instead of picking a winner, we're on both teams to score as it's landed in Bournemouth's last five away games.

Spurs' matches are averaging 3.6 goals and both teams have netted in three of their last five at home.

Leg 3 – Real Madrid to beat Rayo Vallecano & under 4.5 goals @ 1/2 [Sunday 3:15pm]

After edging city rivals Atletico 2-1 in the Champions League last 16 first-leg in midweek, Real Madrid return to La Liga action against Rayo Vallecano as third host seventh.

Carlo Ancelotti's side, who have won only one of their last five league games, need to find form to keep the pressure on Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the title race.

We're confident Real Madrid will get the job done as they've won 10 of their 12 home games but don’t expect too many goals.

We like under 4.5 goals as there haven't been five or more goals in Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano's last 10 games combined.

Leg 4 – Arsenal double chance vs Manchester United & over 1.5 goals @ 53/100 [Sunday 4:30pm]

Manchester United and Arsenal face off in the weekend's feature game.

The Gunners will be full of confidence after their 7-1 Champions League demolition of PSV and we're expecting Mikel Arteta's side to get a result at Old Trafford.

United have won just two of their last six matches as Ruben Amorim's side sit in 14th place.

Arsenal have lost just one of their last 17 league games so we’re on Arsenal double chance and over 1.5 goals.

United and Arsenal's league fixtures average 2.7 goals so expect action!

Leg 5 – Both teams to score in Juventus vs Atalanta @ 33/50 [Sunday 7:45pm]

It’s fourth-place against third in Serie A as Juventus host Atalanta.

Thiago Motta's side have won their last five games, while Atalanta are unbeaten in their last six outings.

Both teams to score has to be the pick as Juventus have netted in their last eight in all competitions, while Atalanta have scored 15 times in their last five away games.
