Football tips for 22 Feb 2026: analysis of 4 recommended matches to watch across 3 major leagues with today's fixtures.
On 22 February 2026, today's football tips cover the three major European leagues: England's Premier League, Spain's La Liga, and Italy's Serie A. We provide analysis and expert opinions on four interesting matches to follow.
English Premier League / Kickoff at 21:00
Nottingham Forest begins a new era under Vítor Pereira with an impressive 3-0 away win over Fenerbahçe in the Europa League, boosting confidence after three league matches without a win. However, Forest still struggles at home, scoring only one goal in their last four games at City Ground.
Liverpool, managed by Arne Slot, is in good form, winning 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions. Their attack is coming together with goals from Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Mohamed Salah. Although their away league form remains inconsistent, overall quality clearly surpasses the home side.
Prediction: The Reds will secure an away victory.
Spanish La Liga / Kickoff at 22:15
Barcelona recently suffered a heavy defeat to Atlético Madrid in the Copa del Rey and lost to Girona in the league, dropping to second place two points behind Real Madrid. This match is a chance to redeem themselves in front of home fans. They have a strong record against Levante, winning 33 of the last 46 encounters.
Levante sits second from bottom, having lost three consecutive matches and conceded 41 goals—the most in the league. Although still fighting relegation, visiting Camp Nou while Barcelona desperately needs a win is an extremely tough challenge.
Prediction: Barcelona will take revenge convincingly.
English Premier League / Kickoff at 23:30
Tottenham Hotspur recently dismissed their coach and appointed Igor Tudor as the new manager. This match is an immediate test. Their home form is poor with only two wins all season, and they face numerous injuries.
Arsenal remains top of the league but recently drew disappointingly with Wolverhampton. However, their record against Spurs is superior, remaining unbeaten in their last seven league meetings and winning at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for three consecutive years.
Prediction: The Gunners maintain dominance.
Italian Serie A / Kickoff at 00:00
AC Milan is unbeaten in their last 24 league matches. Although trailing Inter by 7 points, they maintain strong attacking performance and sharpness, especially from Rafael Leão, their key player.
Parma sits 12th and shows unexpectedly strong away form, losing only 4 of 12 away games. However, their record against Milan is poor, having conceded goals to the Rossoneri in 22 consecutive matches.
Prediction: Milan holds the advantage.
