There’s Premier League, La Liga and Serie A action to enjoy this weekend and here at FIRST, we’ve picked out four fancies.

Leg 1 – Real Madrid to beat Villarreal @ 9/10 [Saturday 5:30pm]

Real Madrid travel to Villarreal in La Liga with Carlo Ancelotti's side battling with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid for the title.

Real are second behind Barcelona on goal difference, while Atletico are just one point behind their rivals.

Los Blancos, who are unbeaten in 13 of their last 15 matches against Villarreal, can go top of the league and put huge pressure on their rivals ahead of Barcelona's trip to Atletico on Sunday.

Ancelotti's men are unbeaten in four of their last five in the league and we can’t look past them. Although Villarreal have a decent home record (won five, drawn five, lost two), Real have too much strength in depth.

Leg 2 – Fulham double chance vs Tottenham and over 2.5 goals @ 1/1 [Sunday 1:30pm]

One Premier League game is taking our fancy as Fulham host Tottenham.

Spurs playing in the Europa League on Thursday could play into Fulham's hands and there’s value in backing Fulham double chance and over 2.5 goals.

Tottenham are 13th in the Premier League while Fulham have won three of their last five to leave them in 10th.

Fulham have won five of their last seven in all competitions and Spurs have won just five of their 13 league matches on the road.

Adding in over 2.5 goals makes sense as Tottenham's games are averaging 3.4 goals. We’ve also seen three or more goals in four of Fulham's last five matches.

Leg 3 – Over 2.5 goals in Atalanta vs Inter Milan @ 3/4 [Sunday 7:45pm]

First travel to third in Serie A as Inter Milan visit Atalanta.

Inter are top of the table and one point ahead of Napoli, with Atalanta a further two points back.

Atalanta just hammered Juventus 4-0 in their last outing, while Inter are unbeaten in four of their last five games.

Instead of picking a winner, we like over 2.5 goals.

There have been 14 goals in Atalanta's last five league games and Inter's matches are averaging 3.2 goals this season.

Leg 4 – Over 2.5 goals in Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona @ 1/2 [Sunday 8pm]

We've mentioned the landscape at the summit of La Liga and we get to enjoy Atletico and Barcelona facing off on Sunday night. 

Atletico suffered a surprise defeat against Getafe last time out but they're still just one point behind Barcelona and they're also unbeaten at home (won 10, drawn four). 

Barcelona are in sensational form and Hansi Flick's side have won their last six La Liga games while also boasting the best away form in the division.

We should be in for a cracker and we like over 2.5 goals.

Barcelona's games average a league-high 3.7 goals and they've scored 38 times in their 14 outings on the road. The selection has also landed in three of Atletico's last five.
