Both of these teams were promoted from Bundesliga 2 last year but Arminia has struggled much more so far. They have pulled themselves out of the relegation zone though, currently in 15th place and two points clear thanks to two wins and a draw in their last four games. Of course, those games came against Hertha Berlin, Hoffenheim and Schalke, all of whom have negative goal differentials and negative xG differentials.

Brighton is one of those teams that has deserved better in the Premier League this year. They currently are just above the relegation zone with a 2-8-8 record and -8 goal differential and they haven’t won a game since November 21 at Aston Villa. However, if you look closer at their results, they only have five losses in their last 14 games as they have played to eight draws during that time. Those losses came against Tottenham, Southampton, Leicester, Arsenal and Man City just this past week, and only one of those teams has a negative xG differential. That’s notable here because Leeds has a negative goal differential at -0.28.

Atletico Madrid is leaps and bounds better than the rest of the league…if you simply just look at the standings that is. They are atop the table with a 12-2-1 record and sparkling 29:6 goal differential and currently lead second-place Real Madrid by one point, BUT with three games in hand, very impressive.

Saturday I’m looking at BOTH AC Milan -0.75 and the OVER which is set currently set at 2.75 goals as they are home against Torino. AC Milan come into this match off their first loss of the Serie A season, losing at home 1-3 to Juventus which certainly tightens the title race up below them as they still sit atop the standings by one point over Inter Milan.
