Saturday European football predictions

Leipzig will look to get back on track when they host Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga's late game.

Die Bullen lost 2-1 at Borussia Dortmund to fall three points behind leaders Bayern Munich last weekend before struggling in a 3-1 reverse at Celtic in the Champions League on Tuesday.

A deflated Marco Rose admitted after the Parkhead defeat that his team were second best but Gladbach's away record make them ideal opponents to respond against.

Die Fohlen won at Bochum in August but triumphed just twice on the road last term and only once in 2022-23.

Both teams have scored in each side's last four matches and backing Leipzig to win a lively encounter looks an excellent way to go.

The Derby della Mole headlines the Serie A schedule and Juventus could edge a tight one against Torino.

Torino are on a run of three 1-0 scorelines, having beaten Como before losing to Roma and Fiorentina.

Juve were in midweek Champions League action, drawing 1-1 at Lille, and have also drawn the three previous games they have played directly after midweek European fixtures, but this is a good chance to improve that record. 

Torino failed to score in both meetings last season and their recent trend for cagey clashes suggests they may struggle to create enough chances against the tightest defence in the Italian top flight.

A Bianconeri win to nil is a decent best price of 6-5 but Torino's run of games featuring under 2.5 goals suggests it might be worth sticking with the home victory and no more than two goals.
