Andrew Hughes thinks Valencia can hold reigning champions Atletico Madrid to a draw on Sunday and help to land a cross-sport multiple in the process.

"Four wins on the bounce have taken Nuno Espirito Santo’s men up to fourth, seven points clear of Sevilla and just one point behind Atletico, who occupy the last automatic Champions League spot"

Bet 1: Back Valencia to draw with Atletico Madrid at 3.9

Valencia haven't won in five visits to the Vincente Calderon and face a tough task in taking on an Atletico side that has lost just one of their last 33 home games.

But the momentum is with the visitors at the moment. Four wins on the bounce have taken Nuno Espirito Santo's men up to fourth, seven points clear of Sevilla and just one point behind Atletico, who occupy the last automatic Champions League spot.

And they couldn't be playing the reigning champions at a better time. Atletico have dropped points against Celta Vigo and Sevilla in recent games, losing ground on the front two. Valencia won the reverse fixture in October and while they may not be able to pull off the double, they should be able to hold their hosts to a point.

Bet 2: Back Leicester to beat Newcastle at 1.538/15

It has been a season of struggle for Leicester, but they are finally getting some momentum and can continue their good run at the expense of Newcastle.

The Tigers are some way off the Aviva Premiership pace, lying in sixth currently, but they are heading in the right direction, having won five of their last six league games, and will be boosted by the availability of England trio Tom Youngs, Tom Croft and Geoff Parling.

Newcastle have been in good form at home in recent weeks and will be confident after pushing Saracens close last weekend, but they haven't beaten Leicester in their last ten meetings and I can't see them winning this one.

Bet 3: Back Tampa Bay Lightning to beat Dallas Stars at 1.4740/85

Tampa Bay emerged victorious from their last meeting with the Dallas Stars and they can pick up another win against the same opponents this weekend.

Dallas have won their last two but they are some way off the pace in the race for the Wild Card play-off spot in the NHL Western Conference and are missing a few players for this game, most notably top scorer Tyler Seguin, who is out with a knee injury. The Lightning have a formidable home record and should be too strong for their visitors.
