  • Club football returns this weekend following the international break
  • Cristiano Ronaldo and Jude Bellingham headline the list of stars set for action this weekend
  • Sports Brief takes a look at five players’ picks you can bet on

Club football is back after the conclusion of the international break, which was marked by some peculiar events, including the sacking of Germany’s manager, Hansi Flick. Despite the international window’s twists and turns, fans are eagerly awaiting the return of their favourite players as they continue their pursuit of respective titles.

Jude Bellingham continues to dominate the headlines due to his impressive goal-scoring streak in European competitions. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo remains steadfast in his tradition of finding the back of the net with remarkable consistency.

As we gear up for an exciting weekend of matches, Sports Brief presents five players to keep a close eye on, offering insights into key fixtures and providing guidance to help you make informed decisions when placing your bets.

Cristiano Ronaldo to score vs Al-Raed — 1.34

Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr visit Al-Raed, a team the Riyadh-based club beat 4-0 earlier in March.

Ronaldo has been unplayable since the start of the new Saudi League season, having found the back of the net six times coupled with four assists, according to data provided by Whoscored.

We expect the Portuguese star to continue his scoring run when they face off tomorrow at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.

Jude Bellingham to score vs Real Sociedad — 2.40

Jude Bellingham continued his impressive run in front of goal when he found the back of the net in England’s recent win away at Scotland.

The Real Madrid midfielder, who is currently La Liga’s top scorer, as reported by Infogol, is likely to find the back of the net against Imanol Algualcil’s side, who seem to have a leaky defence this season.

We expect Bellingham to continue his impressive run and get in amongst the goals at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Ciro Immobile to score vs Juventus — 3.30

Ciro Immobile will be looking to build on his impressive form from the international window when he visits the Allianz Stadium in Turin. Despite not having the best of memories visiting Juventus, we cannot look past the Lazio captain finding the back of the net.

Jonathan David to score vs Rennes — 2.60

Jonathan David remains Paulo Fonseca’s brightest spark in attack this season. The young Canadian has two goals in four appearances this season, and comes up against Bruno Genesio’s Rennes, who have so far mustered just a single win this season. David will hope to strengthen Lille’s pursuit for a spot in Europe next season by providing the goals he has done lately.

Lois Openda to score vs. Ausburg — 1.85

Belgian breakout star, Lois Openda, who found the back of the net 21 times for Lens last season, will look to continue his blistering start to life in the German Bundesliga.

The 23-year-old has found the back of the net twice in three league appearances for Marco Rose’s side, and it’s hard to look past him continuing his hot streak when they face Augsburg at the Red Bull Arena.

All odds are posted as seen on our betting partner 1XBet.

Ronaldo's Al-Nassr thrash Al-Hazem

Sports Brief also reported on Ronaldo linking up with Sadio Mane again as the attacking duo maintained their remarkable goal-scoring form in the Saudi Pro League.

With Al-Nassr's win over Al-Hazem, the Knights of Najd have won three on the trot, with the superstar duo netting an impressive total of 14 goals this season.
