Friday’s football schedule (March 20, 2026) offers two intriguing matchups from the Premier League and Ligue 1. We dive into the data to bring you the best value picks for tonight’s action.
Bournemouth vs. Manchester United
Bournemouth comes into this fixture following a gritty 0-0 draw against Burnley. It was a balanced affair with few clear-cut chances, marking their fourth consecutive draw. While they sit comfortably in mid-table, the Cherries are currently four points adrift of 7th place and will need a significant offensive spark to break down a rejuvenated United side.
On the other side, Manchester United is flying high under Michael Carrick. Their recent 3-1 victory over Aston Villa showcased a team that finds its rhythm perfectly in the second half. Now sitting 3rd in the standings, United have established themselves as firm favorites for a Top 4 finish and a return to the Champions League.
Given United’s current form and clinical finishing, we are backing the away win.
- Betting Tip: Manchester United to Win (2)

RC Lens vs. Angers SCO
RC Lens missed a massive opportunity to climb to the top of the Ligue 1 table last weekend, falling 2-1 away to Lorient. Despite equalizing early in the second half, they conceded again and failed to turn their superior possession into clear scoring opportunities. Returning home to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, they cannot afford another slip-up if they want to stay in the title race.
Angers, meanwhile, continues to struggle. Their recent 0-2 loss to Nice was their fourth defeat in five matches. It was a low-quality game where Angers eventually buckled in the second half, missing a golden opportunity to equalize before Nice sealed the result in stoppage time.
While Lens are the favorites, Angers’ defensive vulnerabilities and Lens’ need for a statement win suggest goals are on the menu.
- Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.55 at 20Bet
