City’s attack remains elite, but they have shown cracks away from the Etihad. Brentford are known for frustrating stronger sides at home, yet their defense has not been as consistent this season. The market leans toward goals with the total set at 2.5, and bettors may find value backing City to edge a close one while also exploring both teams to score.
Sevilla vs. Barcelona
Barcelona are -170 favorites in Seville, aiming to push further up LaLiga’s standings. Sevilla, however, are difficult to beat at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, making this one of the trickier betting spots of the weekend.
The total is set at 3.5, reflecting the attacking talent on display. Sevilla will try to slow down the game, but Barça’s frontline can turn any contest into a shootout. For bettors, the key angle may be goals, with over 3.5 offering plus value.
Celta Vigo vs. Atlético Madrid
Atlético Madrid enter this late-night clash as -130 favorites. Diego Simeone’s side are chasing points on the road to keep pace in the top-four battle. Celta Vigo, meanwhile, sit near the bottom and badly need a result at Balaídos.

Atleti’s defense and counter-attacking style travel well, which explains their price despite being away from home. With the total set at 2.5, this could shape into a cagey game. Bettors may look at under 2.5 or Atlético to win and under combined.
Newcastle vs. Nottingham Forest
At St. James’ Park, Newcastle are -180 favorites against Nottingham Forest. The Magpies have been strong at home all season, while Forest continue to struggle away.
Newcastle’s pressing and direct attack usually create chances in front of their supporters. Forest will look to defend deep and counter, but holding out for 90 minutes will be difficult. With the line at -180, bettors may turn to Newcastle on a handicap or back over 2.5 goals given both sides’ recent scoring trends.
Sunday’s card gives plenty of betting options across two leagues. Manchester City and Newcastle carry the weight of heavy favorites in the Premier League, while LaLiga’s spotlight is on Barcelona’s trip to Sevilla and Atlético’s test at Celta Vigo. Markets suggest goals in Spain and home dominance in England — angles worth tracking for anyone building a Sunday betting slip.
