Relive Real Madrid's victory over ValenciaIs Benzema most underrated striker in Europe?Benzema's second goal, which came deep into the second half, was a superb piece of skill, involving a flick and volley which caused manager Zinedine Zidane to put his head in his hands in disbelief. The Frenchman's goal, assisted by substitute Asensio, capped off a brilliant second-half performance from Real. Spaniard Asensio, who suffered a knee injury last summer and has missed almost the entirety of this season, came on in the 73rd minute and guided a volley from Ferland Mendy's cross into the net 30 seconds later to make it 2-0.

Botafogo and Corinthians face each other on this Serie A from Brazil clash. Both teams have clear objectives for this season. The hosts are fighting for maintenance and also for a spot in the Copa Sudamericana. Corinthians is fighting for a spot in the Copa Libertadores. This will be a tough game. Corinthians is obviously stronger as Botafogo is on a crisis for a couple of seasons now. I still believe it will be a tough game and can probably end in draw as both teams lack offensive behavior. The odd as 2.88 has some value and I'm going with it.
PSG have been dominant not only in matches against Marseille, but in Ligue 1 as well.

They run from the besieged medical department, through the make-up of a changing first-team squad to on-field performances from a team lacking confidence.

Emmen have only lost one of their last four competitive and non-competitive matches against Groningen and under 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the pairs’ last five encounters.
