Today’s secondary featured game is the Argentinian Primera Division game between Argentinos Juniors and Boca Juniors.

It looks an obvious call, on paper, and the fact that Argentinos Juniors have looked inept in front of goal since Ortigoza left certainly plays a big part in this bet. After all, they’ve already lost two out of their four home games this season and are the only side in the Primera Division yet to win a game so things aren’t great right now. Worryingly, they’ve bagged just one goal in their last seven games in all competitions with the only exception being the goals that they scored at a disjointed Estudiantes side. You look at their attack and wonder exactly where Gorosito thinks the goals will come from because I sure can’t see where. There’s good experience at the back – that’s all that saves them at times – but there’s precious little else in this squad right now.

However, I’m really happy that it’s Boca who are trying to take advantage of them this week because Falconi has done a terrific job. He’s been given the time to mould Boca from the disorganised, calamitous, mayhem-esque bunch of clowns into a productive and efficient unit ala his old club Banfield – and it works. Why wouldn’t it? Nobody else looks good right now. Boca have no commitments elsewhere due to some poor seasons. They do have some of the best players in the country right now and let’s face it – if you tell Riquelme to make something happen and tell the players ahead of him where to be then you’ll get goals. Impressively, it’s only a single goal that usually wins games for Boca – they’re solid enough at the back to keep sides out now too, so again, Boca are impressing me a lot. Their defence shouldn’t be an area of focus here anyway, to be honest – the hosts are truly woeful in attack.

For me, there’s value on the away win at 9/10. Boca used to scare the life out of me with their inability to keep eleven men on the field and their inability to defend but they’ve seemingly resolved both of those problems and now look a very solid unit. Therefore, Boca are my choice here at decent odds.

Verdict: Boca Juniors to win at 9/10.

Sunday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Bohemians 1905 vs Slovan Liberec – home win with draw no bet at 7/5.

For me, the odds are all wrong here. Ok, Bohemians lost a couple of players pre-season and I wouldn’t deny that Slovan Liberec are the better footballing side here. However, there’s one side that you don’t bet against on their own turf in the Czech Republic and that’s Bohemians 1905.

The hosts easily have the most vociferous fans in the Gambrinus Liga and the compact pitch that they play on in Prague with their physical style of football makes this trip a nightmare for any side so just why Liberec are such favourites here I don’t know. The visitors have started very well, to give them their due credit here. They’ve got four wins to their name already so I won’t understimate them here. However, let’s take note of who they’ve faced and that record doesn’t seem to be as good with a weak Marila Pribram, regular relegation battlers Hradec Kralove, and a disorganised Mlada Boleslav having been put to the sword. What interests me more is Liberec’s failure to deliver as favourites on a regular basis, losing 0-2 against Teplice, drawing 1-1 with Sigma Olomouc etc. Liberec are favourites to win here today and maybe they will; football is a funny game, after all. However, for me, there’s no way on earth that they should be such favourites to win this one and I’d find value in taking Bohemians with draw no bet at 7/5 at home against any other side in the Gambrinus Liga, in all honesty – this side very rarely loses at home and that’s proven to be the case so far this season too with three wins and one draw from their opening four home games, including games against Slavia Prague and Viktoria Plzenr respectively.

Verdict: Bohemians 1905 to win with draw no bet at 7/5.

Malmo FF vs AIK Solna – home win at 11/10.

For me, these odds are a steal. Malmo haven’t been at their best this season, it’s true, and the Allsvenskan table shows that. However, it also shows AIK to be a much better side than them and that’s simply not the case. AIK’s success stemmed from the two Banguras destroying Allsvenskan defences week in, week out. Well, that won’t be happening any longer with both of the Sierra Leone hitmen having moved on abroad. Since then, AIK’s form has barely faltered but their displays have and with good reason, too – they’re lacking in a lot of firepower. Malmo, on the other hand, have a rejuvenated attack now that new signing Ranegie has got his name on the scoresheet. They’ve not really got much left to play for this season but let’s face it – with Larsson, Rexhepi, Durmaz, Hamad, and Wilton, not to mention Ranegie, they have a devastating attack and this is the ideal platform on which to showcase it. They played with no pressure at Halmstad last week and ran out 1-5 winners – playing without pressure seems to suit Malmo a lot. AIK, however, need to get something here to keep GAIS Goteborg at bay so they’re going to have to attack here at somepoint and I’m confident that Malmo can take advantage of that today.

My concerns stem from Malmo’s motivation (due to having no realistic domestic target anymore) and their European game next week (they may rest players). However, I still find a lot of value in the home win at 11/10 so I’ll give that one a whirl today as they’re some distance better than AIK, in my book.

Verdict: Malmo FF to win at 11/10.
