SV Ried vs LASK Linz

Today’s featured game is the Austrian Bundesliga match between SV Ried and LASK Linz. I couldn’t have been happier to see the slow start that SV Ried have had to this campaign because I know how good they are at home and had hoped the bookies would read too much into it, which they happily have! SV Ried have played three home games this season, winning once, drawing once, and losing once. Nothing spectacular, no? Wrong! Those three games were against Salzburg, Rapid Vienna and Sturm Graz respectively, three sides that have finished above SV Ried since about 104BC! Those three sides are part of the big four in Austria along with Austria Vienna and SV Ried are always the side just outside that group that occasionally threatens to become part of it. I’m impressed that they’ve only lost one of those games, really! That said, SV Ried’s home form last season saw them lose a grand total of zero games in the Bundesliga, so perhaps it could be pessimistically viewed as a bad start. Honestly though, SV Ried’s home record is phenomenal, generally. For instance, last season they won a massive fourteen out of eighteen home games, a record bettered only by eventual Bundesliga winners Salzburg. Frankly, they’re a terrifying team at home for all sides in the Bundesliga and I think LASK Linz could well be taught a lesson today. After all, they’ve not even scored against SV Ried in their last three meetings at either ground, losing on all three occasions. They’ve lost here for three seasons out of four, drawing the other. I think this is one of those beautiful little occasions where form doesn’t tell half the story. LASK Linz have won three games in five, losing just once but note that they’ve not won any away from home – that’s because they’re poor travellers. SV Ried haven’t won in five games but if you look at who they’ve played, that’s more than understandable for the most part. For me, the bookies have criminally underestimated how good SV Ried at home and taking them at evens could be a fantastic bet today.

Sunday’s Picks

My tips:

As ever, below are my recommended value tips for today in no particular order:

SV Ried vs LASK Linz – home win at evens – see introduction for full details.

Naftan Novopolotsk vs Dinamo Minsk – home win at 2/1. How long have I been waiting for this one?! Giants Dinamo Minsk travel to Naftan Novopolotsk with the knowledge that only their ability to draw away games rather than lose them keeps them above Naftan Novopolotsk because these are two of the strongest home sides in the Vysshaya Liga. Seven wins in ten home games says that Naftan Novopolotsk are going to make Dinamo Minsk work very hard to get anything here. True, Dinamo Minsk have only lost one away game this season but they’ve only won three in ten attempts so it may be worthwhile laying the visitors if the odds are good enough. For me though, I’m going to stick my neck out and call the home win at 2/1. Naftan Novopolotsk are bloody good at home and a win would give them a great chance of achieving European football again next year. Dinamo Minsk will want to secure second place but it’s unlikely they’re going to move one way or the other, frankly. Summarised, taking the home win at 2/1 could well be a very good bet today.

Minior Pernik vs Litex Lovech – away win at 5/6. This appears to be another case of the bookies taking too much notice of form and not enough of quality. Minior Pernik have only lost twice in their last five games, winning two and drawing once, but they’re still a poor outfit in comparison to giants Litex Lovech. Since the installation of new manager Angel Chervenkov, Litex Lovech have discovered their old confidence and ability, winning three games from three. There’s a massive quality gap between these two sides and I’ll be extremely surprised if it doesn’t show by the final whistle. 5/6 on the away win should be something of a banker today!

Kladno vs Bohemians Prague – home win at evens. Despite the obvious shitness of Kladno, they have now won two games from their last two, including one very impressive away win against Sigma Olomouc. Suffice to say that they’re entering this home match with a considerable amount of momentum. Bohemians Prague are a home side at the best of times but they’re not even managing that succesfully this season as they lie second bottom in the league. If you consider that their home form is misfiring then it doesn’t take a genius to work out how badly their away form is at the moment. Yeah, you got it – they’re shocking. They’ve played three away games this season and lost all of them, scoring just one goal in the process. Basically, Bohemians Prague look easy pickings for an in-form Kladno today so I’m taking the home win at evens.

Sigma Olomouc vs Jablonec – away win at 2/1. Sigma Olomouc have got issues. Seriously. Any side that can lose at home to Kladno is going to have real problems against bigger and better sides. Whereas Jablonec aren’t giants, they’re a good side with some fantastic momentum at the moment and will be a stern test for Sigma Olomouc. The hosts haven’t won any of their last five games, losing twice and drawing three times. The visitors have won three from their last five games, their most recent of which was a derby victory over Slovan Liberec. With this in mind, the away win already looked tempting. However, upon checking the head-to-head statistics, I had to stand back in amazement as I discovered that Sigma Olomouc haven’t beaten Jablonec home or away in their last eight attempts! Generally, Jablonec win the home game and draw the away game but they have won the away game just once. Today seems the opportune time for that away win to be recorded again but even if not, if you take the bet with draw no bet then you should be laughing at the end of this game! A woefully out-of-sorts Sigma Olomouc look pure cannon fodder for a rampant Jablonec here so I’m going to go with the straight away win at 2/1.

TP 47 Tornio vs Klubi 04 Helsinki – home win at evens. Klubi 04 Helsinki just can’t gain any form of consistency at the moment which leaves them sliding precariously down the table towards the drop zone at the bottom of the Ykkonen. Fortunately for them, I think the season will end just before they hit the drop zone but nonetheless, this is an alarming slump. They’ve lost three from their last five games and now travel to a resurgent TP 47 Torino. The hosts have now won three consecutive games as they desperately seek to avoid relegation to the Kakkonen. This should be a very tight game with neither side wanting to lose but I can’t look beyond the momentum of TP 47 Tornio today so taking the home win at evens looks a potentially good bet.

FCV vs GBK Kokkola – home win at evens. I’m a little surprised at these odds in the Kakkonen Lokho C game between FCV and GBK Kokkola because the hosts have won two consecutive games now and host a side that has not only won just once on the road this season but a side that has lost no less than six times in their ten away games. Their goalscoring record on the road is feeble with only just over a goal every other game on average. The visitors may have only lost once in their last five games but FCV know how to win at home and they’ve got momentum behind them so taking the home win at evens seems logical and profitable to me.

AEK Athens vs Panathinaikos – away win at 8/5. You have to feel sorry for AEK Athens, don’t you? They’re trying their best to make the Greek Super League have a “big three” but it’s just not happening anymore. Spiralling debts and haphazard consistency has seen it become a “big two” in Greece – Olympiakos Piraeus and Panathinaikos. Olympiakos Piraeus won here 2-1 last week and I’ll be surprised if Panathinaikos don’t repeat that feat too, particularly as they’ve won four out of four league games so far this season, conceding just once along the way. Don’t get me wrong, caution is needed here because it is a rivalry match but in terms of quality, Panathinaikos should walk this game with some considerable ease. I’m content that the bookies still rate AEK Athens as big enough to trouble Olympiakos Piraeus and Panathinaikos because I don’t think they are at all. Away win at 8/5 for me!

Agrotikos Asteras vs Diagoras Rodos – home win at 10/11. This B Ethniki game sees Agrotikos Asteras trying to secure their first win of the season, having lost once and drawn once already. However, today seems the opportune moment for them to win a game as they’re hosting a Diagoras Rodos side that managed just two away wins in their entire of last season’s B Ethniki games, losing eight from seventeen, in fact. The hosts today won an impressive eleven games from seventeen and look set to rely upon their home form again to potentially gain access to the Super League come next season. Nobody conceded less goals at home last season than Agrotikos Asteras, something they’ll be keen to emulate this year, no doubt. In those two games, they may not yet have scored but they’ve only conceded once, which is a promising sign so long as they sort their attacking out. Diagoros Rodos may be unbeaten this season but don’t be deceived – both of their games so far have been at home. I thoroughly expect their woefully inadequate away form to kick in today by losing this match and 10/11 is good odds to see it happen at.

Chievo Verona vs Atalanta Bergamo – home win at 11/10. As much as I like Atalanta Bergamo, I have to go against them today. Not only are they travelling to a Chievo Verona side that are unbeaten in three, but they’re also travelling there as a side with just one point from a potential fifteen. Their problem; goalscoring. One goal in five games isn’t good enough at any level, particularly in the prestigious Serie A. Atalanta Bergamo have lost both away games in this season so far whereas Chievo Verona have started this season as they always do by being hard to beat. The hosts enter this game with considerable momentum having won two of their last three games and also in the knowledge that Atalanta Bergamo have never won here. Although there’s not a particular quality gap to speak of, momentum says Chievo Verona are going to win this game so I’m going to follow them with inviting odds of 11/10.

Lyn Oslo vs Tromso - away win at evens. Although not generally considered a particularly good away side, most things appear to be in Tromso’s favour tonight. They’re travelling to a side that have all but accepted relegation with three consecutive defeats and a ten point gap between them and safety. Visitors Tromso enter this game with no defeats in two games and having managed to claim a very respectable draw at Rosenborg BK mid-week. Generally, Tromso tend to struggle in away games due to the massive distance they have to travel to play one on average but today they’re facing a demoralised side and also have European football in their sights. Having been unfortunate to be knocked out by Spain’s Athletic Club de Bilbao, Tromso will be eager to be back in Europe to right wrongs and also bring in a bit of financial support for the Arctic side. Tromso are a good and capable side and really should have enough to overcome a lowly and lacklustre Lyn Oslo today at evens.

Notodden vs Honefoss - away win at evens. League leaders Honefoss travel to Notodden knowing that they’re just six games away from Tippeligaen football next year. Their recent form has been good – two wins and one draw in their last three games – and they face a very poor Notodden who will have to gain a lot more credible results to stay in the Adeccoligaen for next season. Both sides need the points so it should be an open game and if that is the case then Honefoss will surely rip Notodden apart due to the quality differential between the two sides. Notodden have won just once in five games, losing three of those games along the way. Their home form is decent at best but they’re entertaining what is unanimously the best away side in the Adeccoligaen. For me, this game has away win written all over it so I’m happy to take a slice of this pie at evens!

Terek Grozny vs Lokomotiv Moscow - away win at 7/5. This is a very difficult call indeed, one that I laboured over for some time but I’ve decided to roll with it. Terek Grozny at home are one of the hardest sides you’ll have to play against in an away game. They’re not overly good but rather difficult to play against. Grozny is an intimidating to play your football and it has to be either a world-class side or an in-form side that takes three points from Grozny. Visitors Lokomotiv Moscow are not a world-class side, needless to say, but they are massively in-form. Resurgent Lokomotiv Moscow have club legend Yury Semin to thank for their apparent chance of playing European football next year. The Moscow club are currently fourth in the Premier League with four wins from five games and haven’t been beaten in the league in their last ten outings. Lokomotiv Moscow may have won a meager two away games all season but those two games they’ve won in their last three away games, so don’t write them off over that. It also helps my call that Terek Grozny are really struggling with four defeats in their last five games. Whereas I don’t think relegation is a genuine possibility for them, they do need to be careful and start picking up more points or it could become a much more serious problem for them. Lokomotiv Moscow’s goalscoring record is their biggest problem as they rarely score more than 1-2 goals per game. Terek Grozny’s goals scored at home is a record beaten only by league leaders Rubin Kazan currently so Lokomotiv Moscow really need as strong a display today as they’ve been showing in recent weeks. For me, however, there is value in the away win at 7/5 as there’s a real clash between quality and momentum here.

Osasuna vs Sporting Gijon – home win at 10/11. After a difficult draw mid-week at home to Real Zaragoza, Sporting Gijon have yet another difficult game but this time in the Basque country against Osasuna. Although there’s not masses between them, Osasuna are the better side between these two outfits, especially so when playing at home in Pamplona. Although winless at home this season, Osasuna have performed admiraly in their draw with Villarreal and worked hard in their defeat against in-form Sevilla CF. Osasuna claimed a priceless away win against relegation candidates Real Valladolid mid-week in a heated Northern Spain encounter, a match which will have given them great morale ahead of Sporting Gijon’s visit. The visitors today performed decently against Real Zaragoza mid-week but were passed around quite easily by the visitors. Although they looked more incisive than their opponents, Sporting Gijon looked particularly suspect in their from crosses and set pieces, something Osasuna could exploit, particularly with 184cm striker Walter Pandiani on the field, presuming he starts, that is! I expect a very bitter and heated game today in the Basque country but I think Osasuna just have the advantage so I’m going to take the home win at 10/11.

Deportivo La Coruna vs Villarreal – home win at 7/5. This is quite a risky call but Deportivo La Coruna’s form recently has been good and they’re playing at their formidable fortress – Riazor. Only one side lost less home games than Deportivo La Coruna and that was eventual Primera Liga winners Barcelona, a side who themselves failed to win at Riazor. Today’s visitors Villarreal were humbled 3-0 here last season but that’s when they were a well-organised side under the stewardship of Pellegrini. Ever since talented Ernesto Valverde took over, Villarreal have looked a shadow of their former selves as they’re still seeking their first Primera Liga victory after four games. They’ve managed to score just four goals along the way and have now lost midfield general Marcos Senna through injury. This is the last thing that Villarreal need in a very tricky patch of fixtures, really. Deportivo La Coruna will smell blood on Villarreal at the virtually impregnable Riazor and I really fancy them to win the game. The hosts have won two from six games and whereas they may not be firing on all cylinders just yet, they are averaging two goals per game at the moment and that should really be enough against a goal-shy and out-of-form Villarreal for the home win at 7/5.

Liverpool Montevideo vs Penarol – home win at 7/4. I’m not sure how the bookies rate Liverpool Montevideo at nearly 2/1 for a game they’ve won for two seasons running against a side that they can match on their day but whatever! I suppose it’s fair to say that Penarol are one of the giants of Uruguayan football but they’ve had a mixed start to this campaign with two wins from four games. Hosts Liverpool Montevideo have won three out of their four opening games, all three of which were at home, leaving them with a 100% record. As I mentioned earlier, Liverpool Montevideo have won this fixture for two seasons running and although there’s little in the way of quality between these two sides, I’m not seeing anything from Penarol to convince me otherwise just yet. For those reasons, taking the home win at 7/4 could be a very good bet indeed.

Basel vs Young Boys Bern

Today’s featured game is between Swiss heavyweights Basel and Young Boys Bern. The hosts today have been the dominant force in this league for some years now but their grasp on that title appears to be waning. For instance, their form this season indicates two league wins from seven games. That’s really not title-winning form! They’re simply not scoring enough goals and are conceding a little too easily for a big side. Unfortunately for Basel, their issues come at a time where Young Boys Bern are well and truly on the rise, as they proved by finishing above Basel last season. Not only that, but their form this season is scintillating with six wins and one draw from seven games. They’ve also played Athletic Club de Bilbao in the UEFA Europa League and can consider themselves highly unlucky to be knocked out after two very impressive performances. They’re averaging approximately 2.5 goals per game at the moment and have beaten Basel the last three times the two sides have met at either ground, including a particularly impressive 0-3 win in this exact fixture last season. The visitors today have tremendous form, momentum and ability – all the things that Basel are currently lacking. For those reasons, I’m astounded the odds on an away win are 2/1 because I think there’s a very good chance of this occurring. Of course, do approach with caution as these two sides are both good sides on their day so perhaps look at draw no bet.

Sunday’s Picks

My tips:

As ever, below are my recommended value tips for today in no particular order:

Basel vs Young Boys Bern – away win at 2/1 – see introduction for full details.

Austria Vienna vs Rapid Vienna – away win with draw no bet odds of 11/10. I’m going against what has virtually become a tradition in Austria by calling an away win here ’cause it almost never happens in this fixture. That said, I don’t think Rapid Vienna have been as good as they are now for some time now. Needless to say that both of these sides are bitter rivals and it will be a feisty encounter. Both sides were in action mid-week and both qualified for the latter stages of the UEFA Europa League. Rapid Vienna put in a very impressive display in England to overcome Aston Villa (as was correctly predicted by yours truly!) and could have won by a much more comfortable margin. Austria Vienna managed to qualify after a slow start as they needed extra time to overcome Metalurg Donetsk of Ukraine. Both of these sides will be a little tired from their respective encounters, no doubt. There’s no denying that both of these sides are very good and it should be a close call. However, I’m siding with a very impressive Rapid Vienna today with the insurance of draw no bet at odds of 11/10.

SV Ried vs Sturm Graz – home win at 11/10. One of Austria’s best home teams entertains one of Austria’s best sides so already we have an interesting tie! Perhaps that’s a bit exaggerated for Sturm Graz, however – they’re bottom of the “big four” in Austria in my opinion. Nonetheless, a good side they remain! As you’d expect, SV Ried have set about making the Keine Sorgen Arena a fortress yet again and are doing a bloody good job having already beaten Salzburg and drawn with an impressive Rapid Vienna at home. Last season SV Ried remained unbeaten at home all season so it’s worth taking into account how much of a fortress these guys possess! It’s also worth noting that in their last nine Bundesliga vists to SV Ried, Sturm Graz have never won here and have only ever salvaged one point from those nine games. If that’s not enough to convince you that a home win at 11/10 is worth your money then I don’t know what is!

LASK Linz vs Wiener Neustadt – home win at 11/10. Bundesliga top goalscorers LASK Linz entertain newly-promoted Wiener Neustadt wondering just how they’re third bottom currently with such an astounding goalscoring record. They currently boast an average of no less than three goals per game, which is very impressive indeed. The league placing of LASK Linz is harsh when you consider just who they’ve actually played. Three of their first five games have been against Salzburg, Rapid Vienna and Austria Vienna – the three best sides in the country. Their two other league games resulted in 4-0 wins and both sides they encountered were better than or equal to today’s opponents. The sides that did beat LASK Linz really had their work cut out though! Austria Vienna won 5-4 against them, Salzburg beat them 3-2 and Rapid Vienna were a little more comfortable with a 4-1 victory. What I’m painstakingly trying to point out is that the hosts are a lot better than their league position shows and I think Wiener Neustadt could be taught a footballing lesson today. Frankly, odds of 11/10 are an absolute steal on this game, particularly as Wiener Neustadt have already indicated that they’re pretty damn useless on the road with two defeats from two games.

Torpedo Zhodino vs Shakhtyor Soligorsk  – away win at 6/4. I mentioned in a previous post that Shakhtyor Soligorsk were a sleeping giant. Unfortunately, they’re no longer asleep and are destroying just about everything in their way in a late bid to catch champions BATE Borisov and prevent them from winning yet another Vysshaya Liga title. Will they do it? Probably not – I can’t see BATE Borisov dropping twelve points between now and the end of the season but at least Shakhtyor Soligorsk can cement European football for them next year if their run continues. Torpedo Zhodino are on a bit of a downward spiral with two defeats in their last two games despite and impressive start. With the hosts on a slight descent and Shakhtyor Soligorsk on the rise, you have to look for the away win at 6/4.

Anderlecht vs Standard de Liege - home win at evens. Despite Standard de Liege having the voodoo sign over Anderlecht these past few years, that voodoo charm is beginning to fall with the sale of some key players and a misfiring strikeforce. Ironically, as Standard de Liege begin to weaken, Anderlecht begin to get stronger so they’re about on par at the moment if not slightly better. Hosts Anderlecht are on a revenge trip after Standard de Liege pipped them to the post in last season’s Eerste Divisie title race as they drew level on the final day and beat Anderlecht over the two-legged play-offs. Despite being annihlated by a rampant Olympique Lyonnais side lately in Europe, Anderlecht have proven that they know how to score goals in any situation and this is something they have missed in the last few years. As I mentioned earlier Standard de Liege haven’t got going yet and have sold some players over summer so a home win at evens looks very tempting here today.

OH Leuven vs Lierse SK – away win at 5/6. Last season, Lierse proved they’re too good to be in this division. Unfortunately, they forgot that they needed to prove they were good enough to be in the division above, which is why they’re still stuck in the Tweede Klasse! After a slow start, they have the perfect game to gain their first three points as they travel to a OH Leuven side that are currently pointless. The hosts were fortunate to stay in the division last season and appear destined for another lengthy struggle. Although form doesn’t quite support my call, 5/6 on an away win could be a good bet today.

Groningen vs PSV Eindhoven - away win at 5/6. An absymal start to the Eredivisie campaign from Groningen sees them without a win in four games and struggling to score goals. They’re entertaining a PSV Eindhoven machine that is gradually becoming well-oiled as the season progresses. The visitors aren’t exactly fluent and easy on the eye at the moment but they are ruthlessly efficient and seem to have little problem winning any game before them at the present time. Lastly, having won here last season, PSV Eindhoven are more than aware that three points are a very real possibility here today. 5/6 on the away win is crying out to be taken!

Tromso vs Fredrikstad – home win at 5/6. Despite no wins in three games, Tromso have been battling well lately and can consider themselves unfortunate in both their domestic campaign and their European campaign to have not notched up a win. They’ve got the perfect opportunity to find those evasive three points today though as they host relegation-threatened Fredrikstad, who have now lost two games consecutively. The trip to Tromso is always a tricky one for any side, let alone one that has lost seven from eleven away games this season. The hosts have got the quality and the tenacity to gain a much-needed three points here today so the home win looks a good bet at 5/6.

Stromsgodset vs Odd Grenland Skien – away win at 11/10. I’m a little surprised at myself for calling this but I’ll see how it goes! Odd Grenland Skien have surprised a lot of people this year (myself included) by maintaining their early season form throughout the season. Atypically, it’d be fair to say that a side in third place in the table after 2/3 of the season are “challenging for the title” although I don’t think that’s accurate in this scenario as they’re twelve points behind an irresistable Rosenborg BK. Despite not having many away wins under their belt, they rarely lose away from home having been defeated just twice on the road all season. Stromsgodset do posses one hell of a fortress on their day, however, so do approach with caution, despite their dismal form of late. I’m going to call the away win at 11/10, however, because Odd Grenland Skien’s form at the moment tells you that they’re capable of beating just about anyone.

Notodden vs Moss – away win at 13/8. Hosts Notodden find themselves on the wrong end of a notable four game run being as they’ve lost all of them. They’re entertaining a Moss side that are very much capable of being higher than they currently are in the Adeccoligaen. A rampant victory against high-flying Honefoss last match will have done much to buoy the visitors for today’s game against a drastically out-of-sorts Notodden. Three wins in five games says Moss are on the rise; that’s enough for me to take the away win at 13/8 to dispose of despondent Notodden!

Uniao de Leiria vs Maritimo – away win at 13/8. Maritimo have made an expected start to the season with a couple of solid performances and points on the board. I’m expecting a good season from them and they’ve not let me down thus far. Uniao de Leiria are unbeaten in their opening two games but those two games were against sides that I expect to battle it out with them for relegation – Rio Ave and Olhanense – so I wouldn’t read too much into that. Basically, this game really should be an away win and I’ll be surprised if it isn’t. Odds of 13/8 on the away win are a bargain here!

Drava vs Rudar Velenje – away win at 6/5. Unbeaten Rudar Velenje are flying high with five wins and one draw from their six games this season. The foundation for this impressive run is clearly their watertight defence, having only conceded three goals over those six games. Today they travel to lowly out-of-sorts Drava who are third bottom despite claiming their first three points of the season last match. The hosts are a good side on their day but Rudar Velenje are in irresistable form and have won here for two out of the past three seasons. For those reasons, 6/5 on the away win looks intriguing.

Real Mallorca vs Deportivo Xerez – home win at 3/4. It’s been widely-publicised that Deportivo Xerez have massive issues with management, squad size and financial troubles. This really isn’t the way to start a season in one of the toughest leagues in the world and I think they’re going to discover that today. Real Mallorca have weakened over summer, as usual, particularly with the loss of Arango, but they’re still a potent side at home. I can’t see anything other than a home win here today and 3/4 is much better value than I originally anticipated.

Malaga vs Atletico Madrid - away win at 11/10. I wasn’t a fan of backing Atletico Madrid away from home last season but I’ve been gradually won over. The strength in depth, talent and experience that this squad now boasts is highly impressive and I expect a very good season from them, particularly with the acquisition of one of the best young goalkeepers in Europe – Sergio Asenjo. I also wasn’t a fan of backing anyone going away to play Malaga last season because they were free-flowing at home when it came to goalscoring and were generally hard to play. However, having lost their manager and substantial quality over the summer, Malaga could be gearing up for a lot and ultimately disappointing season, starting today. Atletico Madrid already have competitive match practive from their exploits against Panathinaikos so will be raring to go. 11/10 on the away win today looks a steal!

Tavriya Simferopol vs Vorskla Poltava – home win at evens. Despite drawing last match, hosts Tavriya Simferopol are still looking good to maintain their impressive start to their campaign. However, they do need a win to keep it going and they know that they’ve got a good chance of doing that today aganist Vorskla Poltava. The visitors gained a credible draw at home to giants Dynamo Kiev last match with their typically defensive play but I don’t think they’ll be able to ride their luck here today against a potent Tavriya Simferopol. I expect a low-scoring affair but ultimately a home win looks to be on the cards and appears to be good value at evens too.

Metalurg Zaporizhya vs Metalist Kharkiv – away win at 5/6. Metalist Kharkiv have let me down a couple of times lately so I’m becoming a little irritated by them. However, as you’ve probably guessed, I’m keeping the faith with them today because the side they’re playing aren’t a good side at all. Frankly, Metalurg Zaporizhya aren’t a patch on the side they were last season and one win in their past five games adds weight to my claim. Although they can be a difficult side at home on occasion, Metalist Kharkiv have good enough form in the league to overcome them today and more ability in their squad to do the damage. Again, this should be another low-scoring affair but 5/6 on the away win could be good value.
