Weekend Football Tips: Our Weekly Cross-European Treble is a 3.43/1 shot

The 3-3-3 column had a stonking Christmas period and early January but it has come back down to Earth in recent weeks, although a hefty profit for the season so far still stands.

Jamie is back with the latest edition of his the column this weekend and the selections come from Italy, Portugal and Spain with his go-to Inter Milan well represented again...

Last year, the 3-3-3 column returned a profit of 17 points, which means that if you'd backed every treble recommended over the course of the season for level £10 stakes, you'd be up by £170. That's one of the better returns you'll see in the tipping business and speaking of returns, Jamie Pacheco is returning again this year to do try to do it all over again, and maybe even improve on it.

Welcome to the 3-3-3 betting column. Why is it called that? Glad you asked. It's not a formation to play when you've had a man sent off but rather:

3 - The number of different selections making up the acca.

3 - The number of different (non-English) European Leagues the selections are taken from every week.

3 - The minimum odds (3/1) or 4.0 if you prefer, that the acca will come to it every week.

And it really is as simple as that. The selections can be from any betting markets, as long as they meet the criteria set out above. And to round things off, every week I'll leave you with a cool (or at least I think so) bit of trivia involving one of the teams featured in the acca. Simples...

2025-26 season Current P and L: +16.93 

2024-25 season's P and L: + 15.9     

A third week in a row where we got 2/3 but we really can't have any complaints. We needed over 2,5 goals in Sevilla v Girona and even though it 'seems' like we were pretty close with the game ending 1-1, we actually weren't, because the game's second goal came into deep, deep second-half injury time. So that's three weeks in a row without a win, but that remarkable run just after Christmas means we're firmly still in profit.     

• Inter Milan v Juventus  
• Saturday 14th February 19:45 
• Back Inter Milan to win @ 19/20  

This is what I said ahead of Inter's trip to Sassuolo last week:  

"One of these days, Inter are going to let me down, after they've been very kind to us in the past. But I don't think it will be this week that they let me down." 

And…they didn't. Far from it. They went to Sassuolo and beat them 5-0; it would have been hard for it to be any more comprehensive than that 

With each week their record just gets better and better It's now five Serie A wins in a row and seven wins from their last eight if you include a CL and a Coppa Italia match in there.  

As we know, Juventus aren't the force of old; they've won just one of their last four, losing 3-0 to Atalanta in the Cup last week and managing just a 2-2 draw at home at home to Lazio last Sunday.  

Inter are considerably better side in just about every area and though last year's game here in Milan ended 4-4 (Inter were 4-2 at one stage), the two before that with Inter at home ended in wins for them.  

 1-0 may just do it for our mates at Inter but I think they'll get over the line one way or another.  

• Real Madrid v Real Sociedad  
• Saturday 14th February 20:00 
• Back both teams to score @ 4/6 

They love a BTTS match over at Sociedad. They have a 75% record for it at home and prior to a midweek 1-0 Cup win at Bilbao, their previous 11 all had goals at both ends, remarkable numbers.  

Yes, this is against Real, in Madrid, but Kylian Mbappe and co are hardly watertight at the back these days.  They conceded four (!) at Benfica a few weeks ago in that crazy 4-2 win on Mourinho's watch that saw his side make the playoffs courtesy of the keeper scoring in deep injury time.  

A couple of years ago, this fixture ended 4-4, and Real have a 54% strike rate for BTTS at home this season, so there are good reasons to go for BTTS here.  

• Nacional da Madeira v Porto  
• Sunday 15th February 15:30 
• Back Under 3.5 Goals @ 4/11 

Porto could have just about wrapped up the league if they had beaten Sporting on Monday but a last-gasp equaliser from Luis Suarez, he of the famous mind-boggling stat, knocking in the rebound after Diogo Costa saved his penalty, meant it ended 1-1.  Bad news for Porto, good news for us; we had him at 13/8 to score.  

But back to Porto. Though they've mostly been winning matches, the goals have dried up, and worse still, they're without star striker Samu, who is out injured for a while.   

They travel to Nacional and I doubt whether there will be many goals in this one. Only one of their 11 away matches all season had over 3.5 goals, a 4-0 win against Arouca in October.  

Given that they're very good in defense themselves, this could be 1-0 Porto, 2-0 at best. Even 0-0 isn't out of the equation. Since Nacional 'rebranded', these two have played each other three times and they ended 2-0 (to Nacional), 3-0 to Porto and 1-0 to Porto; all under 3.5 goals. So that's what we're going for.  

Jamie's Fun Fact  

Real's Kylian Mbappe isn't just quick to get to goalscoring milestones. He's also quick when it comes to…running, having been clocked at 35 km/h (21.7 mph), making him one of the fastest players on the planet.
