Cagliari vs Catania

Yesterday was one of the worst betting days I’ve ever encountered. I’d apologised if I believed it was me being shit but it was purely a day where the vast majority of favourites crashed. Even games I didn’t bet or recommend outcomes on turned out badly so let’s hope today is considerably better than yesterday.

Today’s featured game is the Serie A encounter between Cagliari and Catania. Cagliari have been strong at home this season and will look to continue that run today whereas Catania have been weak for the majority of the season both home and away so are deservedly battling relegation.

Cagliari enter this game on the back of two consecutive defeats but both of those games were away from home which is where the Sardinians are weakest. At home, Catania are a superb side, particularly of late. They’ve got ten games unbeaten at home whilst winning seven times so they’re certainly a force to be reckoned with. The only sides to take a point away from Cagliari during this tyrannical home form are SSC Napoli, AS Roma, and Fiorentina respectively which each away side needing to score at least two goals to prevent Cagliari from winning. Cagliari aren’t watertight defensively which is a shame as that’s all that underpins their overall quality. However, when it comes to scoring goals at home in Serie A, only Genoa have scored more at home than Cagliari with today’s hosts averaging scoring over two goals per game so to disregard their potency would be foolish. Cagliari have scored twenty-five goals during those ten games which is a frankly terrifying record and the hosts have every opportunity to win yet again at their fortress today.

Visitors Catania are a resilient little side from Sicily that never give anyone an easy game. However, they tend to lack a lot in the goalscoring department which is largely why they’re battling against relegation. They average scoring less than a goal per away game currently and have already lost seven out of thirteen away games in Serie A this season so look likely to struggle against a rampant Cagliari. Catania have performed admirably in recent times, however, avoiding defeat in six out of their last seven Serie A games with AS Roma the only side to beat them along the way. Catania have pulled off some heroic results of late by winning at the likes of Lazio and at home to Bari in emphatic fashion so they do carry some good momentum into this game. However, they’ve only scored twice in their past three away games so their record does flatter them somewhat.

Ultimately, Cagliari are twice the side that Catania are – fact. They score so many goals that it’s hard to see Catania’s defence keeping them out, especially as no side has managed to do that against Cagliari here this season. Cagliari have scored at least two goals for all of their last ten home games so I sympathise with in-form Catania because they’re going to have to do something that they rarely do and score a lot of goals to take anything from this encounter or else they’ll simply be outscored, which is precisely what I expect to happen. The odds on the home win surprise me somewhat but I’ll ride it as it looks a great bet in my eyes!

Verdict: Cagliari to win at evens.

Sunday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Huracan vs Tigre – home win at evens.

Huracan aren’t the most convincing of Argentinian sides at the best of times but they are hard to beat, particularly at home. They’ve played three home games in the Clausura this season, winning twice, and drawing once. They’ve beaten Newells Old Boys and Velez Sarsfield here in epic games whilst holding high-flying Godoy Cruz de Mendoza to a goalless draw so they’ve been strong at home so far this season. Huracan’s biggest problem tends to be scoring goals but five goals scored in three home games indicates that they’re gradually resolving that issue. Huracan have only been beaten by potent Lanus and Estudiantes De La Plata this season so it’s fair to say that Huracan are certainly hard to beat at the moment.

Visitiors Tigre have started their Clausura well but are ultimately living on borrowed time with a rather impotent attack. Tigre have only scored in four of their seven games so far in the Clausura and naturally aren’t finding wins easy to come by as a result. Tigre aren’t a good side; in fact, I consider them to be one of the worst in the Primera Division. They’ve finally began to show that too with two consecutive 1-0 defeats against Independiente and San Lorenzo de Almagro respectively. Not only do those results leave Tigre a little demoralised but they do highlight a lack of goalscoring ability that will underpin their overall performances considerably for as long as it’s present.

Although both of these sides will be lingering somewhere near the bottom of the table at the end of the Clausura, Huracan are the better of these two sides and they’re showing it at the moment. Huracan are looking more threatening in front of goal and have been consistently strong at home this season so should beat a demoralised and goal-shy Tigre with relative ease tonight.

Verdict: Huracan to win at evens.

Independiente vs River Plate – home win at evens.

Independiente enter this game having won all three of their home games in the Clausura whilst averaging scoring over two goals per game. They’ve beaten a talented Estudiantes De La Plata along the way as well as bitter rivals Racing Club Avellaneda in the Avellaneda derby so Independiente haven’t simply crawled past inferior opponents to be where they are currently. They won 1-0 at Tigre last match and the only side to beat them this season is an impressive Velez Sarsfield so Independiente are looking more of a threat than I expect them to this season already. They’ve won three out of their last four games so their momentum is good and they won their last encounter with River Plate last season, winning 3-1 away from home.

Visitors River Plate managed to steal a 1-0 victory at home to San Lorenzo de Almagro in their last match but are still far from convincing. Their win last match was just their second of the season so far and looks likely to be one of ther last if they continue playing such unimpressive football. River Plate have been far from impressive in general this season which is worryingly evident with disappointing results both home and away against the likes of Arsenal de Sarandi and Gimnasia De La Plata respectively. River Plate simply aren’t scoring goals and although they’re not conceding too many goals themselves, they’re going to have problems winning games if that’s the case. Independiente are scoring goals so River Plate need to get at least one in this game to have any chance of taking something but frankly they don’t look capable of doing so, which leaves the home win looking rather good value to me. 

Verdict: Independiente to win at evens.

Pirin Blagoevgrad vs Litex Lovech – lay Litex Lovech at 13/8.

The bookies overrate the bigger sides in Bulgaria rather excessively which has always intrigued me because I’m not sure why they do. Don’t get me wrong – there are some big gulfs between clubs in Bulgaria but take today’s game for example. Pirin Blagoevgrad are not as good as Litex Lovech but they’ve conceded just three times at home in the A PFG this season, a home record bettered only by Litex themselves. Blagoevgrad have only lost twice in eight home games and tend to enjoy stifling their opponents which is why they’ve got such a commanding home record. When you consider the above information, it’s hard to comprehend just why Litex are 2/5 to win this game. Litex are the better side, as I mentioned previously, but they have failed to win three of their eight away games this season in the A PFG so they can be undone on the road. Litex don’t score excessively on the road and do tend to concede a token goal so why they’re such heavy favourites to win on a trip that they’ve only won twice on in their last four visits is beyond me!

I rate Litex much higher than Blagoevgrad but I’m not seeing any reason for them to have it all their own way today. Although Litex are capable of doing a job on Blagoevgrad, the value has to be in laying Litex today.

Verdict: Lay Litex Lovech at 13/8.

Atletico Huila vs Millonarios Bogota – home win at evens.

Atletico Huila enter this game as one of the highest goalscoring sides in the Primera A currently with an average of nearly two goals scored per game. They’re unbeaten at home and despite winning just one of their three home games they remain a potent side with over two goals scored per home game on average. Atletico Huila crushed La Equidad Bogota 4-1 in their last home game so they do carry some momentum into this game and will look to use it against Millonarios tonight. Atletico Huila are basically looking very potent, particularly at home, and that should be enough do damage to Millonarios Bogota tonight.

Visitors Millonarios have never won at Atletico Huila in the Primera A and have lost three out of their last five visits here. They’re not shaping up well in terms of amending that fact either with three defeats from three away games in the Primera A already this season. Millonarios average conceding three goals per away game currently and score less than a goal per game so it’s easy to see why the fare so badly on the road. Millonarios are a presentable side but their away form tends to be poor and this season is no exception so I don’t see why a potent Atletico Huila won’t run riot tonight against a leaky Millonarios Bogota.

Verdict: Atletico Huila to win at evens.

Banik Ostrava vs Jablonec – home win at 10/11.

Banik Ostrava have won more home games in the Gambrinus Liga this season than any other side with seven wins in nine games, drawing the other two. Banik Ostrava average scoring just less than two goals per home game and rely heavily on their strong defence which concedes an average of just over a goal per every two home games. Banik Ostrava are generally a very well-organised side, particularly in defence, so they tend to do well in this league as it’s not the most prolific of leagues! Banik Ostrava travelled to Viktoria Plzen on their first game back from the winter break and claimed a valuable point in a 0-0 draw so it’s clear that maturity is creeping into their displays as that trip is not to be taken lightly by any Czech side. I quite fancy Banik Ostrava as dark horses to win the Gambrinus Liga because of this maturity that they’re gaining, particularly with the abject league displays of both Czech giants – Sparta Prague & Slavia Prague – and they stand a good chance of doing so due to their ruthless efficiency and consistent manner. If Banik Ostrava do intend to win the Gambrinus Liga this year then today’s opponents Jablonec are a side that they must beat to do so but that’s one factor of their challenge that they’ll no doubt relish. Why? Well, not only do Banik have a strong home record this season but they’ve also got the record of having beaten Jablonec here for four seasons running now with Jablonec having not won here since 1997. With the above in mind, Banik Ostrava are looking good for this game today!

Visitors Jablonec are playing well this season and are over-achieving as a result. It also aids their cause that no Czech side is dominating the league this season so Jablonec still have a realistic shot at the title. However, in terms of actual quality, they’re one of the weaker sides near the top of the table and it’s only a matter of time before that begins to show. They won 3-0 at home to Bohemians 1905 last match but frankly I’d expect te majority of Gambrinus Liga sides to emulate that result so I’m not exactly sitting here in awe. Jablonec tend to struggle on the road despite having won four out of eight away games already this season. This is largely due to the fact that they don’t score many goals which is largely due to the fact that they’re not a very good side as I’ve already pointed out! The reason they do well on the road is because their defence is strong. However, it’s worth noting that Jablonec’s two away defeats this season have come against strong home sides Teplice and Sparta Prague respectively so a win for yet another strong home side, Banik Ostrava, is far from out of the question.

We should see a relatively low-scoring game between two title rivals that shouldn’t really be title rivals. As a result, I expect a somewhat nervy display from both sides as they try to impose themselves as one of the leaders in the race for the Gambrinus Liga and the results of that can be disastrous. However, Banik Ostrava are more experienced than Jablonec in this field and are more consistent and reliable so the home win today looks a good call to me.

Verdict: Banik Ostrava to win at 10/11.

Lombard Papa vs Debreceni VSC – away win at 5/6.

Newly-promoted Lombard Papa entered the Soproni Liga with a bang initially but are gradually being “found out”. They’ve won five out of nine home games but have also lost four. Theyve lost two out of their last three home games in the Soproni Liga and tend to struggle against the bigger and/or better sides, both of which Debreceni VSC certainly are. Papa drew at MTK Budapest on their first game back from the winter break but this is a severely unprepared MTK Budapest side that were crushed 4-1 at Budapest Honved yesterday in a lacklustre display so I certainly wouldn’t read much into that draw! Papa are beginning to look like a side that was recently promoted, basically, and they’re going to find games tough against the likes of Debreceni VSC if they continue their unconvincing displays.

Although it took Debreceni VSC a long time to break down a stubborn Diosgyor VTK in their first Soproni Liga game back from the winter break, Debreceni VSC showed just how good they can actually be by smashing three goals past Diosgyori VTK in the last ten minutes of the game thus reaffirming their status as one of Hungary’s biggest and best sides. Their display may have been a tad rusty but their overall ability remains entact and this result gives them good momentum to bring into this game. Unlike opponents Lombard Papa, Debreceni VSC have a few competitive games under their belt following the winter break following two League Cup games against Fehervar and Nyiregyhaza Spartacus respectively so the visitors have that extra bit of fitness ahead of this game. Although Debreceni VSC’s away form hasn’t been overly convincing this season due to some goal-shy displays, the one thing that Debreceni VSC have done since consistently since the winter break is score goals, something they’ve done ten times in three games so that issue should resolved soon enough!

Papa simply aren’t good enough to keep a rampant Debreceni VSC side out today, in my opinion, and should succumb somewhat easily to their more illustrious opponents.

Verdict: Debreceni VSC to win at 5/6.

Feirense vs Freamunde – home win at 5/6.

Feirense have been a constant force at home in the Liga de Honra this season with six wins in ten games. Only league leaders Portimonense have scored as many home goals as Feirense have in this campaign so Feirense are looking rather potent ahead of this game. Feirense are unbeaten in their last three games and have won two of those games against Trofense and Santa Clara respectively – two promotion rivals – so Feirense should be somewhat buoyed ahead of this game and should make it count.

Visitors Freamunde are without a win in four games having drawn twice and lost twice. Their morale has dropped because of it as Freamunde continuously find themselves on the receiving end of negative results against the more in-form sides in the division i.e. Portimonense, Oliveirense etc. Freamunde have only lost three out of eleven away games in the Liga de Honra this season but all three defeats have come against the bigger and better sides of the division so it’s easy to see that Freamunde have a ceiling to their ability and seem to bump into it every now and then!

Freamunde aren’t good enough to cause problems here today and they tend to struggle against the better sides of the division, something that Feirense definitely are, so I’m siding with the momentum and the home advantage by calling a Feirense win today.

Verdict: Feirense to win at 5/6.

Real Zaragoza vs Atletico Madrid – home win at 6/4.

This is a bold call considering that Atletico Madrid are twice the side that Real Zaragoza are but it’s one that I have some quiet hopes for!

Real Zaragoza have played well lately as they’ve now got some hidden agenda known only to themselves which means that they can now play well! Their general form both at home and on the road is unconvincing so I’m choosing to overlook those statistics in favour of their recent displays. Zaragoza have won three out of their last five Primera Liga games, drawing once and losing just once. They’ve won some very impressive games including an away win against Getafe whilst keeping a clean sheet and by beating Sevilla CF at home. Zaragoza bring a lot of confidence/momentum into this game as a result so look set to cause Atletico Madrid a lot of problems tonight, particularly with nine goals scored in their last five games.

Atletico Madrid won their last Primera Liga game 4-1 at home to Valencia although that scoreline was more dictated by cards and penalties than footballing quality. The fact is that Atletico Madrid’s domestic campaign is now fruitless so they’ll no doubt be looking towards the approaching game mid-week with Portugal’s Sporting Clube de Lisboa and will maybe consider resting a few of their bigger names. Atletico have already lost seven out of twelve away games in the Primera Liga this season and average conceding nearly two goals per away game so their leaky defence is generally the reason behind their lack of success. Atletico Madrid’s last away trip in the Primera Liga resulted in defeat at a battling Almeria side so I see no reason why a slightly more talented Zaragoza side are unable to claim a similar result.

This should be a good open game between two sides that don’t really have an awful lot to lose but both enjoy scoring goals. I expect a lot of goals in this game as a result but I feel Zaragoza’s form versus an inconsistent and defensively-inept Atletico Madrid sees a valuable home win emerging so it has to be worth a flutter!

Verdict: Real Zaragoza to win at 6/4.

Neuchatel Xamax vs Young Boys Bern – away win at 5/6.

Barring a humblin at Basel, Young Boys Bern have been superb after their return from the winter break, winning three games consecutively. Their last win was at home to out-of-sorts FC Zurich, which was very impressive for different reasons as Young Boys Bern played eighty minutes of the game with ten men and trailed for approximately seventy minutes before scoring two goals with ten men and ultimately winning the game. This kind of dogged tenacity and confidence in their own ability builds great momentum and Young Boys Bern are looking even better for it now. Young Boys Bern have won three out of their last four visits here and have enough momentum to do the same again today. Neuchatel Xamax are yet to win a game after their return from the winter break, drawing two away games and losing two home games. This string of results will demoralise them, particularly with repeated home defeats. The defeat at home to Basel was acceptable; the 3-1 battering at home to St.Gallen most certainly was not so Neuchatel Xamax are certainly looking vulnerable ahead of their game today with Young Boys Bern.

There’s a big gulf in class between these two sides and there’s now also a big gulf in momentum. With both of those gulfs favouring the league leaders Young Boys Bern you have to feel that the away win boasts considerable value today.

Verdict: Young Boys Bern to win at 5/6.

Tenerife vs Malaga

Today’s featured game is the Primera Liga clash between relegation-threatened Tenerife and bottom-placed Malaga. Both of these popular holiday resorts are proving to be distinctly unpopular in terms of footballing success. There’s been just one win for either side combined in their last five games respectively, which was for today’s hosts, Tenerife. Malaga are indicating just why they’re expecting to be relegated following a bad summer as they’ve now lost four of their last five games. Hosts Tenerife aren’t finding Primera Liga life easy but they’re adpated their home form to support them in these difficult times as they’ve already won three from four on their own turf. Tenerife have a better side than Malaga and although form indicates that they too have lost four of their last five games, Tenerife at least manage to win their home games more often than not. Malaga have lost three out of four away games this season and this doesn’t look likely to change today. My call for this game is the home win at evens as Tenerife will take this game very seriously as a potential six-pointer.

Saturday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Tenerife vs Malaga – home win at evens – see introduction for full details.

Lanus vs Chacarita Juniors – home win with -1.75 handicap at 7/5. It’s taken a while but Lanus are back in business again! They’ve not lost in seven games and have won their last two consecutively, setting the talented side up nicely for what should be a dominating home win against lesser Chacarita Juniors. Hosts Lanus have scored five goals in their last two games, which included a win away to Argentinian giants River Plate, so their camp will be buoyant and their football will be slick entering this game. Visitors Chacarita Juniors are facing Primera Division football as you’d expect a newly-promoted side to – with difficulty. Only bottom-placed Tigre have conceded more away goals than Chacarita Juniors this season with today’s visitors averaging over two goals per away game conceded. The visitors have also managed to lose five out of their six away games this season, leaving them precariously placed as they take on an in-form and impressive Lanus. For me, the home win with -1.75 goal handicap at 7/5 looks a good bet tonight.

Newell’s Old Boys vs River Plate – home win at 3/4. Yet another disappointing defeat leaves River Plate looking unsteady and extremely unreliable. They’re not scoring enough goals and are losing far too many games. River Plate have already lost four from six away games this season, a record not nearly good enough for arguably the biggest side in the country. Hosts Newell’s Old Boys will be keen to show them how it’s done, something they’ve already shown the majority of the division with their impressive performances and eight wins from twelve games. Newell’s Old Boys have won four consecutive games and have already won four from five home games this season. With all this in mind and the fact that only Banfield have conceded less goals than Newell’s Old Boys this season, the home win at 3/4 looks something of a bargain tonight.

Roeselare vs Zulte-Waregem – away win at 10/11. Hosts Roeselare look set for yet another nightmarish campaign with a horrendous start to their present one. They’ve lost eight of their thirteen games so far, winning just once in that time. They’ve lost two of their last three games and generally look weak opponents, weaker than the rest of the Eerste Klasse, in my opinion. Visitors Zulte-Waregem are beginning to show their potential as a good footballing side, something they failed to really register as last season despite some impressive displays. With three wins and two draws from their last five games, the visitors are now looking a force to be reckoned with. Zulte-Waregem have only lost once in six away games, winning twice and drawing three times. However, their recent form has convinced me that they’ve got more than enough quality to win against arguably the weakest side in the Eerste Klasse. For me, there’s good value in the away win at 10/11.

Sport Recife vs Cruzeiro – away win at 6/4. Although having only lost once in their past five games, Sport Recife appear to be consigned to relegation to Serie B, barring a miracle. I think they’ve still got enough fight to give a damn good fight to any side that plays here with no particular motivation for doing so but unfortunately for Sport Recife, Cruzeiro will be very much motivated with a Serie A title in their sights. Four wins in their past five games shows the intent of the visitors here tonight and although eight points is a steep mountain for Cruzeiro to climb, you can be damn sure that they’ll keep going until the end. Cruzeiro have a much better side than Sport Recife and interestingly also boast the best away record in Serie A with seven wins from sixteen away games. Brazil can be a dodgy place for away wins so do approach with caution but I can’t help and feel that Cruzeiro have everything in their favour to win this game at 6/4.

Chernomorets Burgas vs Litex Lovech – away win at 11/10. Chernomorets Burgas’ season so far has been something of a dream but that dream was brought to an abrupt end last match as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at lowly Minior Pernik. It remains to be seen just how today’s hosts will react to that but my prediction is that they simply don’t have the players to bounce back from that defeat so quickly and easily. Despite having already won five from six home games this season, I’m going to make a bold call that Litex Lovech will be the first side to win here in the A PFG this season. The visitors do have a better squad than today’s hosts and have looked very good lately with four wins and one draw in their past five games, beating bitter rivals CSKA Sofia along the way. Litex Lovech are unbeaten on the road this season with four wins from five games and they are starting to look very strong indeed. For me, the away win at 11/10 bears significant value today.

Atletico Nacional de Medellin vs Independiente Medellin – home win at 6/4. This is the last game of the current stage of the Colombian Futbol Profesional and witnesses the fearsome Medellin derby between Atletico Nacional de Medellin and Independiente Medellin. The visitors today have been far and away the best side so far and have already easily qualified for the latter stages of the Colombian Futbol Profesional along with Atletico Huila, Deportivo Pasto, and Deportes Tolima. The remaining four places are up for grabs and bitter rivals Atletico Nacional de Medellin currently possess one of those spaces. However, that place can be taken from them if they are defeated here today so they’ll be even more highly charged than normal for this Medellin derby. With the visitors already through, their focus on this game will have slipped slightly, as indeed their general performances of late have done with two defeats in their past three games. Hosts Atletico Nacional de Medellin are currently in patchy form and have only lost one home game out of eight this season, drawing a remarkable five games. However, this is a derby and a game that today’s hosts simply have to turn up for so I’m going to stick my neck out and call a home win at 6/4 – expect plenty of cards too!

Croatia Sesvete vs Cibalia - away win at 11/10. The Prva Liga’s surprise package Cibalia today travel to relegation battlers Croatia Sesvete in an attempt to extend their magnificent unbeaten run to nine games. The visitors have won two of their last four games, drawing the other two (one of which was away to giants Dinamo Zagreb). With the record of conceding the least goals in the whole of the Prva Liga, it’s going to take something monumntal for Croatia Sesvete to muster a result here. The visitors have already won three away games this season and today’s hosts enter the game on a four-game winless run that has seen them lose three games and draw once. With all this in mind, the away win at 11/10 looks good value today.

Osijek vs NK Zagreb – home win with -1.75 handicap at 13/8. I’m a little surprised by the quality odds on show for this bet! Osijek are no world-beaters but they’re playing very well this season, particularly at home. They’ve won three of their last four games and have won five from seven home games so far this season. Osijek average over two goals per game at home and look a real handful this year. Visitors NK Zagreb are still rooted to the bottom of the Prva Liga with just two wins from thirteen games. They’ve won two of their last five games, which is a marked improvement for them, but they’ve still got the unenviable away record of six defeats and one draw from seven away games. NK Zagreb have only managed to score four away goals this season and average conceding two goals per away game. With all of the above in mind, taking the home win with -1.75 goal handicap at 13/8 could be one of the bets of the day.

Blackpool vs Scunthorpe United – home win at 3/4. A whole-hearted and full-blooded approach to their Championship campaign has seen Scunthorpe United draw less games than any other side with just two draws all season, a record that can only be matched by Derby County and Barnsley. Although admirable in parts, this style naturally has its downsides and this has shown more often than the good sides have this season as Scunthorpe United have already lost eight games out of fifteen. The visitors have lost their last two games in a row and travel to Blackpool today, who are currently the best home side in the Championship with five wins and two draws from seven home games. They’ve only conceded twice at home this season but average scoring nearly two goals per game at home. Blackpool are unbeaten in four games with two wins and two draws being obtained in the process. With all of this in mind, you have to feel that a dominant Blackpool side playing at home is a side that are too good for a Scunthorpe United side that have already lost five from seven away games in the Championship this year. Therefore, the home win at 3/4 not only looks very logical and likely but also very good value too!

Le Mans vs Auxerre – away win at 17/10. I know that Le Mans aren’t that bad a side and that Auxerre aren’t that great of a side but these odds still mystify me when they’re considered in the cold light of day. Hosts Le Mans are currently second from bottom in Ligue 1 with three defeats from their last four games. They’ve already lost seven from eleven games so far this season and although they’ve only lost once at home, you have to feel that this particular record will change very soon if they don’t start improving. However, a massively in-form Auxerre are absolutely flying at the moment with five consecutive wins, including games away to Stade Rennais, at home to LOSC Lille, and at home to Girondins de Bordeaux. I highly respect all of these scalps and I’m just wondering when this magnificent run of wins/great performances are going to come to an end, which it surely will as Auxerre don’t have the quality to maintain it. Nonetheless, Auxerre have beaten a good portion of the better Ligue 1 sides so now it’s time to make waves against the lesser sides, starting tonight. For me, the away win at 17/10 could be a real gem here!

Sochaux vs Racing Club Lens – home win at 9/10. Three wins in their last four games has given Sochaux some momentum to hold onto as they try to push their way clear of the relegation zone. However, during this process, they’ve also managed to push Racing Club Lens into the relegation zone as the visitors have lost four from their last five games and have massive problems both on and off the field. Racing Club Lens are conceding far too many goals and aren’t scoring nearly enough to stay in Ligue 1 without dramatic and instantaneous improvement. However, Sochaux have long been a good home side and this is not the place to come to seek points to cure a bad run of games. The hosts have already won here three times this season and I really can’t see beyond that record reading “four home wins” by the end of this game as the hosts simply have too much for a distracted and demoralised Racing Club Lens at 9/10, particularly as the visitors have already lost four from five away games this season.

Bayern Munich vs Schalke 04 - lay Bayern Munich at evens. Although they created some decent chances mid-week against Girondins de Bordeaux in the UEFA Champions League, Bayern Munich still look toothless unless Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery bail them out. Only Robben was available for this game and that was only a second-half appearance, which turned out to be too late to save the Germans from a surprising home defeat against Girondins de Bordeaux. Arjen Robben will not be 100% fit for this game, based upon what we’ve seen in the UEFA Champions League game, which leaves Bayern Munich looking toothless against a very in-form and potent Schalke 04. Bayern Munich couldn’t even manage to score at a massively out-of-sorts VFB Stuttgart last weekend so I find it very unlikely that they’ll do so here today against Schalke 04 and restrict their opponents to scoring less goals than they do. Schalke 04 are unbeaten in their last five games and are unbeaten on the road this seasn with four wins and one draw from their five away games played. Whereas Schalke 04 aren’t scoring many away goals, there are very few goals being scored against them when they’re playing away from home too. For me, this game has draw written all over it or possibly even a sneaky away win so laying Bayern Munich at evens could be a very good bet today indeed.

Catania vs SSC Napoli – away win at 6/5. Hosts Catania face a rejuvenated SSC Napoli today with nothing but a three game run of successive defeats behind them in their arsenal. Visitors SSC Napoli are unbeaten in four games and have won three of those games. These games are even more impressive when closely examined as SSC Napoli have won away to Juventus, away to Fiorentina, at home to Bologna (probably the least impressive of the four!) and drew at home to AC Milan despite trailing for most of the game. Not only does this record indicate great momentum and form but also high resilience, something that you really need in Serie A. Catania are going from bad to worse with just one win in eleven games and a record that shows that only Genoa and AS Roma have conceded more goals than they have, which can’t be much comfort as both of these sides are light years ahead of little Catania. Although this certainly won’t be an easy game for in-form SSC Napoli, I do expect them to win it at 6/5.

Sparta Rotterdam vs Roda JC Kerkrade – home win at 5/6. Hosts Sparta Rotterdam enter this game on the back of thre straight wins, a run which was catalysted by beating bitter rivals Feyenoord Rotterdam in a bad-tempered affair. Since then, today’s hosts have won away to ADO Den Haag and at home to NEC Nijmegen. I rate all three of these sides as being better than relegation-threatened Roda JC Kerkrade so look like very acceptable cannon fodder for a Sparta Rotterdam playing the best football that they’ve played all season. Four wins from six home games and a strong level of momentum gives Sparta Rotterdam a tremendous chance of winning this game, particularly as visitors Roda JC Kerkrade have already lost four from six away games this season, scoring just three times and conceding over two goals per away game. Lastly, a record that reads no wins in five games and three defeats in the process tells me that Roda JC Kerkrade are in no position to amend their horrendous run against a tricky Sparta Rotterdam, which therefore leaves the home win bearing considerable value today at 5/6.

Polonia Bytom vs Lech Poznan – away win at 5/4. Two straight defeats have knocked the wind out of Polonia Bytom’s sails as they stare uneasily at the mast of an approach Lech Poznan. The hosts know that they’re not as good as today’s visitors but their lack of momentum gives them a real headache ahead of this tricky game. It’s not going to help their preperations that Polonia Bytom have been heavily fined after their fans were caught smuggling high numbers of explosives into their last match. All of this plays into the hands of a good Lech Poznan side with the capability to win this game. Although Lech Poznan are missing key midfielder Semir Stilic through injury for this game, I still feel they’ve got more than enough in their arsenal to overcome a massively distracted and demoralised Polonia Bytom at 5/4, particularly as the visitors have won two of their last three games.

Gaz Metan Medias vs Politehnica Iasi – home win at 10/11. I like the look of these odds! People seem quick to forget how woeful Politehnica Iasi can actually be and it’s only because of their recent poor run of form that people are taking notice again. They’ve now lost three consecutive games and are without a win in four games. I personally consider them to be one of the weakest away sides in the Romanian Liga, which is partially why I’m backing the home win today. Gaz Metan Medias are a decent home side – not great, but decent – and are unbeaten in their last six games, a run which saw them overcome giants Dinamo Bucharest. Gaz Metan Medias are a decent side but their biggest problem is scoring goals, something they’ve only done twice in in their last four league games. However, a Politehnica Iasi side that has conceded nine goals in their last three games will be sure to give the hosts today every chance of changing that record. Although this should be a close and relatively low-scoring game, I think there’s significant value in the home win at 10/11.

Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt vs Vaslui – away win at 5/6. Romania’s most in-form side currently Vaslui travel to newly-promoted Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt in a hope of making it five wins from five games. The visitors have won their last four games in a row and can boast that only three sides in the Romanian Liga have won more away games than they have this season. Vaslui have had a good side for the last few years but their consistency in proving this appears to be somewhat sporadic at best. However, when they are in form, they’re a real handful for each side they face. Hosts Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt are winless in their last five games, losing three times and drawing twice in the process. Having already lost four out of six home games this season, it’s not hard to see why the hosts are in the relegation zone and why I thoroughly expec them to still be there after this game. Therefore, the away win at 5/6 looks great value here today!

Khimki vs Tom Tomsk – away win at 11/10. A quick glance at the league table will tell you everything you need to know about my call here. Khimki are already relegated with nothing to play for and no motivation whatsoever as they’ve lost countless numbers of games in a row now. Tom Tomsk aren’t desperate for the points but they will want to ensure that they’re not troubled as the Russian Premier League draws to a close so I thoroughly expect them to go out and do a professional job on Khimki by winning the game with a low scoreline at 11/10.

Huesca vs Hercules Alicante – away win at 11/8. After a morale-boosting 5-1 thrashing of promotion rivals Real Sociedad last match, Hercules Alicante look back to their best. There’s no doubt in my mind that Hercules Alicante are one of the best sides in the Segunda Liga currently and it’s about time that they started showing it as consistently as they did last year. Although their records currently show that they’ve drawn more away games than they’ve won and lost put together but I expect their last match to have cast off their shackles, enabling them to play their football and start winning games again. Hosts Huesca are nothing but a middle-of-the-road side that are simply caught in the middle between bad form and a rampant Hercules Alicante, which could spell disaster for the hosts today. A winless run of five games leaves Huesca with little to contribute to this game in the way of opposition so I think taking the away win at 11/8 is a good bet, largely due to the strong momentum gained from Hercules Alicante’s emphatic win last match.

Istanbul BB vs Antalyaspor – home win at 13/10. This game was a very close competitor for my featured game of the day given the good value in it! Hosts Istanbul BB have won four of their last five games, impressively enough. Their home form isn’t overwhelmingly convincing but their momentum and tenacity certainly is. The other side of the coin is that Antalyaspor are one of the worst away sides in the Super Lig with only Sivasspor that have lost more away games than they have. Antalyaspor have lost four from their five away games this season, conceding two goals per away game on average. Although they’re on a three-game unbeaten run currently, it’s hard to see that continuing today against a forceful and in-form Istanbul BB. For me, the home win at 13/10 bears a great deal of value today.
