It pays to score 2-3 goals in Italy, Portugal and Barcelona's ace with combinations in the "BookieCo"...

Few matches today, as is usual on Mondays of course. We've studied a trio of games from the major leagues and bring you a breakdown below.

Below you'll see all the match action in detail:

GENOA-VENEZIA (21:45)
The hosts are in the middle of the standings and with a potential win tonight, they move even further away from the danger zone. To be honest, Genoa are a superior team to the rest of the teams below them, but that doesn't mean that if they don't start winning, they can't be ruled out of trouble. They are coming off a loss (to Fiorentina) and a draw (to Torino). They definitely want a return to winning ways tonight against a struggling Venezia who are in the relegation zone. The visitors are even ignoring the joy of winning in 2025! In seven games in the New Year, they have four defeats and three draws.

BARCELONA - RAYO VALLECANO (22:00)
An excellent league we are watching this year in the Primera Division and there could be a big fight to the end for the champion, European tickets and the teams that will be relegated. In tonight's clash, which concludes the 24th round of the league, Barcelona are the heavy favourites, but they will have to prove that title on the pitch. With four different scorers and despite playing with ten for over half an hour due to a suspension for Fermin Lopez, Barcelona crushed Sevilla at the Sanchez Pithuan (4-1) last weekend and took full advantage of the draw in the derby between Real Madrid and Atletico. On the other hand, Rayo have been impressive so far and are rightly in the top six of the standings and they want to stay there until the end. The visitors, coming off three wins in a row, are showing that they are very much up and psychologically up as well.

GIL VICENTE-FAMALICAO (22:15)
With this match, the 22nd round of the Portuguese league comes to an end. The two teams don't have much difference between them. They are just above the danger zone and are looking for a win to escape... The hosts are coming off three straight defeats and are looking for a return to success against Famalicão. The visitors seem to be in better shape at the moment, as they have two draws and one win in their last three games.
