Cologne to beat Greuther Furth

Both teams to score in Cagliari v Venezia

Lens to beat Reims

Athletic Bilbao to beat Alaves

Cologne are on the fringes of the European places in the Bundesliga and can get the better of basement boys Greuther Furth while Cagliari's meeting with Verona could prove to be a high-scoring fixture between two porous sides.

Lens are impressing in Ligue 1 and should account for Reims while Athletic Bilbao can build on draws with Atletico Madrid and Valencia by beating lowly Basque rivals Alaves.

Bet of the day

Lens to beat Reims

Reims lost key forward Boulaye Dia in the summer and have looked short of quality this season. They are worth opposing against an impressive Lens outfit who have collected 15 points from eight games and are second in Ligue 1.

Goalscorer bet of the day

Cologne v Greuther Furth, 7.30pm

Anthony Modeste looks a cracking bet at 5-1 with bet365 to find the net when Cologne host Greuther Furth in the Bundesliga. The French forward is among the leading scorers in Germany with four goals in six games.

Best bet
Anthony Modeste to score first in Cologne v Greuther Furth
