Last year’s Western Conference regular season points leaders, Colorado Rapids, currently sit #8 in the table this season with a 3-3-3 record an even 11:11 goal differential. However, the underlying metrics suggest there is not much different from last year to this year. San Jose has conceded a league high 23 goals this year while still managing to get theirs, scoring 15 goals themselves, leading to an MLS high 4.2 goals per game, and thus have a 7-2 O-U record vs 2.5 goals.

Big game here for Napoli as they continue to push for that Serie A title, currently five points back of Inter Milan for the top spot. Meanwhile Empoli really have nothing to play for here, sitting 14th in the table but 12 points clear of any relegation danger with only five matches to go, however, that's what I think makes them dangerous here. Nine of the last 11 H2H meetings between the teams has finished with both teams scoring including all four matches in Empoli. #ItalySerieA | #SoccerPicks | #Empoli | #Napoli â–º Nick Borrman: https://twitter.com/BorrMan00
Germany's biggest rivalry and biggest matchup although it means a little less at this stage of the game with Bayern nine points clear of Dortmund with only four games remaining, yet I still expect to see some fireworks. Bayern have netted a ridiculous 89 goals in 30 games this season while Dortmund aren't too far behind scoring 76 themselves including six in their last game against Wolfsburg. Only three of the last 16 meetings between these clubs has failed to reach at least four goals including nine of ten in Bundesliga matches. #GermanyBundesliga | #SoccerPicks | #Bayern | #Dortmund â–º Nick Borrman: https://twitter.com/BorrMan00
Maybe it’s due to the fact that Bob Bradley was relieved as manager after the end of the season or the fact that Carlos Vela is healthy and scoring goals, but we are finally seeing some positive regression for LAFC. Meanwhile Orlando is generating the 2nd fewest xG per game at just 0.86 while each of the last three seasons they averaged between 1.31 and 1.43 xG per game.

Week 4 of the MLS season is here and Borrman likes goals in the Minnesota-San Jose matchup. Eight of the last nine H2H meetings between these sides has finished Over the total and both teams have played very good defenses so far this season.

Roma are coming off an ugly 1-3 loss at AC Milan on Thursday, but they have been a much better team at home with a 6-2-2 record and 13:8 goal differential. Juventus' strength has always been their defense allowing the 2nd lowest mark in the league at 0.95 per game; on the road that number is almost identical to Roma's at 1.07, but Juventus has just one win in their last seven trips to Stadio Olympico, only two in their last 11.

Clearly both teams pack some of the best offensive firepower, not only in the Premier League, but in all of Europe. However, oftentimes when you have two big name teams playing one another, defense dictates the match. Since 2015, these teams have played 19 times in all competitions with only FIVE of those matches finishing Over this total.

Most of the series history between these teams included Lionel Messi as part of Barcelona, but the most recent trends all point one direction, low scores! Borrman feels this will be another game void of many goals in what is a huge match for both teams battling for position in the La Liga table as they chase leaders, Real Madrid. #SpainLaLiga | #SoccerPicks | #Sevilla | #Barcelona | #StoppageTime â–º Nick Borrman: https://twitter.com/BorrMan00
