With the International break finally drawing to an end, all attentions return to Europe’s domestic leagues. On that note, we here at Soccer News have found a handful of helpful tips that can potentially boost you Saturday accumulator:

Saturday 24th November

14:30 Wolfsburg vs RB Leipzig

Starting with Saturday’s visitors, one of the teams to capitalise on Bayern Munich’s public struggles at the start of the new Bundesliga campaign, RB Leipzig now find themselves in a battle at the top of the table. With the potential to leapfrog Mönchengladbach and climb within just a point of league leaders Dortmund this weekend, Germany’s latest franchise are also yet to be beaten domestically since the end of August. Putting in a very impressive showing in their 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen prior to the international break, RB have now lost just one of their matches on the road this season. One man to watch for the visitors will be leading goalscorer Timo Werner. Scoring for Germany in their 2-2 draw with Holland in midweek, the 22-year-old also now has four in his last three on Bundesliga duty. Coming up against a Wolfsburg side who are once again showing similar faults that saw them at the heart of a relegation battle last season, Werner and RB should be confident of extending their unbeaten run. Saturday’s hosts have lost their last three matches on the bounce and they have now failed to win any of their last seven matches at the Volkswagen Arena.

Tip: Away win @ 11/10

15:00 West Ham vs Manchester City

Returning from the International break with a two-point advantage over Liverpool in the Premier League title race, Pep Guardiola will know the importance of keeping up the pace ahead of a hectic Christmas period. Winning 11 of their last 12 matches across all competitions, the Sky Blues unsurprisingly once again hold the best attacking stats in England’s top-tier. Picking up a 4-1 win over West Ham the last time the two sides met at the London Stadium, Manchester City have now remarkably scored 15 in their last three across the Premier League and the Champions league. While leading goalscorer Sergio Aguero is once again leading the defending champions’ charge to another league title, it has been David Silva’s start to the season that has really impressed many. With midfield partner Kevin De Bruyne once again sidelined with an injury, the City captain now has three in his last three and could set a goalscoring PB this season. Saturday’s unlucky hosts are a West Ham side who are once again struggling with their defensive record and their consistency. With many expecting the visitors to come away with yet another commanding victory this weekend, Manuel Pellegrini’s Hammers side have won just one of their last six and they have also failed to record a clean sheet since a 0-0 draw with Chelsea back in September.

Tip: David Silva to score anytime @ 2/1

15:00 Scunthorpe vs Portsmouth

On Saturday, it really is a battle of two sides enduring very different starts to the new season. Starting with the visitors, under Kenny Jackett, Portsmouth are tipped by many to be a leading contender in the race for the League One title. Already with a two point advantage over Sunderland at the top of the table, the Blues are enjoying an eight-match unbeaten run, including winning their last three on the bounce. Looking to book a return to the Championship, it has been Portsmouth’s defensive record that has been their biggest strength this season. Pompey have now conceded just 14 goals in League One, averaging under a goal per game, only Sunderland can rival their defensive tally. Ahead of their trip to a struggling Scunthorpe side this weekend, Jackett will also be boosted by his sides recent record away from Fratton Park. Portsmouth are currently unbeaten in any of their away matches this season and have now gone 200 minuets without conceding an away goal. As for the hosts, although Scunthorpe may have reached the playoffs last season, things could not be going worse for Stuart McCall’s side. They have managed to win just one of their last seven League One matches and have no home win in the league since the 2nd of October.

Tip: Away win @ 11/10
