Real Sociedad vs Salamanca

Posted on by

Today’s pick of few good games is the Segunda Liga clash between Real Sociedad and Salamanca. The hosts have started their campaign well and currently sit in third place in the table. They’re currently unbeaten in six games with three wins and three draws. However, their problem has been that their goalscoring isn’t what it should be, hence the equal amount of draws in comparison to wins. That said, Real Sociedad have won two games in a row now so their momentum is strong enterting this game and should be furthered by a boisterous San Sebastian crowd. Visitors Salamanca had a decent start to this season but have slumped somewhat lately with just one win in five games, drawing three times and losing once. However, the trip to the Basque country isn’t a favourable one for any side and Salamanca will no doubt recall their defeat here last year. Overall, there’s a bit of a quality mis-match in favour of the hosts and momentum favours them too so the home win for Real Sociedad at 4/5 could be good value today.

Sunday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Real Sociedad vs Salamanca - home win at 4/5 – see introduction for full details.

Lyngby vs Vestjaelland – home win at 10/11. Despite an embarassing defeat to Kolding last time out, Lyngby remain a potent force and a good side at the very least. More importantly for this game, however, is the fact that Lyngby enter it as the undisputed best home side in the division currently with four home wins from four games. After a blow like their defeat last match, this fortress of theirs is something that they’ll appreciate falling back on to attempt to regain their momentum. Vestjaelland have made a fantastic start to their campaign and boast an enviable away record of three wins from four games. Their form and momentum is strong entering this game but let’s not forget that Vestjaelland are still newcomers to this division following promotion last year. Their only real test so far this season, in my opinion, was the 0-0 draw at AB Copenhagen. Today they face a very experienced 1st Division side that know how to make their home games count. Vestjaelland will have their work cut out today and I think a more experienced Lyngby will teach them a lesson with decent odds of 10/11.

HyPS Hyvinkaa vs KaPa Helsinki – away win at evens. Although this is the last game of the season for both sides playing today, there’s still a big quality difference between the two sides. HyPS Hyvinkaa will be playing their football in the Kolmonen next year following a disappointing season whereas KaPa Helsinki only just missed out on promotion to the Ykkonen this year. Although this game is somewhat redundant, I can’t help but feel that the visitors simply have too much for the hosts to contend with, particularly when you consider that demoralised HyPS Hyvinkaa have lost three from their last four games and are now definitely relegated. How a side like this will be able to compete with a KaPa Helsinki side that have won four from their last five games is beyond me. I fully expect the visitors today to show the same level of ruthlessness that has seen them do so well this season and beat HyPS Hyvinkaa with generous odds of evens.

Sinimustat Turku vs Ilves – away win at 27/20. As I mentioned in the preview above, with this being the final round of the Kakkonen, bets must be approached with caution. However, Sinimustat Turku are looking very easy cannon fodder with four defeats and one draw from their last five games. All that concerns me about this selection is that Sinimustat Turku could be relegated if Narpes Kraft win at SalPa Salo and Sinimustat Turku lose. For that reasons, the hosts will obviously be highly-motivated, although I’ll level with when I say that I can’t see Narpes Kraft winning at SalPa Salo. Still, this is football and strange things happen in football sometimes. Regardless of their motivation, however, Sinimustat Turku are still some distance away from being able to compete with Ilves on a quality level. The visitors today only just missed out on promotion to the Ykkonen and still enter this game with three wins from four games. The visitors certainly aren’t going to simply kick back and let the hosts do their utmost to avoid relegation. Ilves will want to end this season on a high and there aren’t many sides they’d like to face more than Sinimustat Turku in this instance as there’s only one side out of all fourty-two sides in the Kakkonen that have won less home games than them in this campaign. For me, 27/20 on the away win here has potential value!

Albinoleffe vs Ascoli - home win at 11/10. This game features two sides that aren’t really done justice by the Serie B table at the moment and are in form opposites. Hosts Albinoleffe have made a slow start but are starting to find their rhythm again, winning two from their last three games. The hosts are worthy of a much higher league place in this table and I’m confident in saying that they’ll have obtained one by the end of the season, too. Visitors Ascoli are high in the league table but don’t really have the squad to merit such a place, as their form is beginning to indicate. No wins in three and a humiliating home defeat last match against Sassuolo leaves Ascoli very much bruised and battered ahead of their tricky tie with Albinoleffe. Had Ascoli entered this game with some momentum then I’d have been a tad more hesitant about this call as it’s still early season and neither side are firing on all cylinders yet. However, as the visitors are on the decline and their better hosts are in the ascendancy, you have to feel that there’s value in the home win at 11/10.

De Graafschap vs Dordrecht ’90

Posted on by

Today’s featured game is the Eerste Divisie game between De Graafschap and Dordrecht ’90. The hosts were relegated from the Eredivisie last season and have looked every inch a cut above the Eerste Divisie outfits – well, at least when they’re playing at home they do! Currently boasting an immaculate home record of five wins from five games, title hopefuls Dordrecht ’90 know they have their work cut out to get anything at a difficult De Graafschap. I mean, come on – the hosts today average three goals per game at home and have conceded just one at home all season! That said, my respects do go out to Dordrecht ’90 because it’s their excellent away form that has given us good odds here as they are unbeaten on the road so far this season with three wins and two draws from five away games. Much akin to their hosts tonight, Dordrecht ’90 are also big goalscorers although only on the road, ironically. For those reasons, if you can find good odds for over 2.5 goals then I think you’ll be onto a winner. However, no wins in two games leaves Dordrecht ’90 a bit short on momentum and this isn’t the place to be going without all guns blazing. Having won three of their last five games and remaining unbeaten in that time, you have to feel that De Graafschap also boast the momentum to compliment their superior quality. Bluntly put; I expect an extremely active game with plenty of goals but the home win at 3/4 looks good value in my eyes!

Friday’s Picks

My tips:

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

De Graafschap vs Dordrecht ’90 – home win at 3/4 – see introduction for full details.

Colon de Santa Fe vs Banfield – home win at 6/5. These odds certainly surprise me because Colon de Santa Fe are a fair amount better than Banfield in my books. Both sides may have made good starts to the seson but there’s something of a class difference here to ponder upon also. Three wins from four games for both sides says that this encounter is going to be close but the quality aspect is drawing me towards the home win here. Colon de Santa Fe have also won this fixture for four seasons running now and it’s more than apparent that unbeaten Banfield are punching above their weight currently. I’ll be surprised if there’s a lot of goals in this game but I’ll be even more surprised if Colon de Santa Fe don’t make their superiority count by the final whistle. Frankly, 6/5 on the home win looks a good bt to me!

First Vienna vs Wacker Innsbruck – away win 20/21. Third-placed Wacker Innsbruck travel to First Vienna on the back of two straight victories and will feel that making it three wins from three games is an extremely realistic possibility as they face a First Vienna side that not only have lost three of their last four games but have also lost three out of three at home this season with a shocking goalscoring total of two goals at home. There’s a big quality difference between these two sides and the momentum favours the away side. All that bothers me is that Wacker Innsbruck are a little haphazard with their away form on occasion so I’d encourage medium stakes for this one. That said, everything is in their favour in my eyes so the away win at 20/21 should have some value in it tonight.

Slavia Sofia vs Minior Pernik - home win at 21/20. It’s not often that the A PFG provides us with good odds or games that haven’t been fixed so I’m quite happy to take advantage of this apparent blip! There’s no way on earth that Minior Pernik are good enough to be on the same pitch as Slavia Sofia, let alone be in a similar odds bracket! The difference at the end of last season wasn’t great between the two sides but I genuinely feel there’s a real class difference here although no doubt the Bulgarian fixers will now rig a 5-0 away win for this game! Anyway, momentum is with the hosts after two straight wins whereas Minior Pernik are heading the other way with two straight defeats. Slavia Sofia’s biggest problem is not delivering when they should, hence their league placing currently, but I think today is the day they turn it around and make it three wins from three. For me, the home win at 21/20 looks a good price indeed!

Vannes OC vs AC Ajaccio – home win at 5/6. I sometimes wonder how AC Ajaccio are still in Ligue 2. Don’t get me wrong, I respect them and I adore their little island of Corsica. However, their football is atrocious and they seem hell-bent on boring every opponent they face to such a degree that their team actually falls asleep so that AC Ajaccio may score. One win and four defeats in eight games says that AC Ajaccio are doing their best to emulate their poor form last season and also tells me that they would really much prefer life in the division below. They’ve lost three from four away games as they travel to a very much in-form Vannes OC, a side that has taken seven points from their last three games. Unbeaten at home, Vannes OC seem to be making an unprecedented lunge for life in Ligue 1, a lunge that is destined to fail because they’re just not good enough to maintain their current form. However, their current form and momentum dwarves that of AC Ajaccio to a degree significant enough for me to take the home win at 5/6 although I do expect a droll encounter with few goals! My only concern is if the hosts don’t score but if they do then this game should be sewn up.

Slask Wroclaw vs Wisla Krakow – away win at 10/11. Hosts Slask Wroclaw are unbeaten at home in the Ekstraklasa so far this season but today they’re facing arguably the biggest threat to that record that they’ll have this season – league leaders Wisla Krakow. Seven wins in eight games with no defeats says that Wisla Krakow are adamant that this year’s Ekstraklasa crown will be theirs, and who is going to stand in their way whilst they boast a 100% away record? They average two goals per game away from home and have only conceded one goal in the process. Slask Wroclaw are a side that aren’t particularly bothered about winning or losing – they just like drawing, simply. They’ve drawn four games consecutively now and haven’t won in five games. Despite being unbeaten at home, Slask Wroclaw’s record of the repetitive draws will damage them more than it’ll intimidate the visitors, in my opinion. The home side will begin to forget how it feels to win and heads may drop a little. Wisla Krakow are absolutely galloping into this game with tremendous form, momentum and attacking prowess and I can’t really see a dogged Slask Wroclaw being able to withstand such a force today. For me, 10/11 on the away win has significant value in it.
