Viktoria Plzen vs Sigma Olomouc

Today’s featured game is the Gambrinus Liga match between Viktoria Plzen and Sigma Olomouc. Hosts Viktoria Plzen have been on a decent run of late having only lost once in their past five games and having won three times along the way. Their home form is decent with two wins, one draw and just one defeat from their opening four games. Although I think it’s fair to say that Sigma Olomouc have the better side here, you wouldn’t guess it from their form or league placing. Languishing in 13th place, visitors Sigma Olomouc are winless in their past five games, losing three of those games, two of them consecutively. Morale is low in the Sigma Olomouc camp, particularly after a 1-0 home defeat inflicted by high-flying Jablonec, a side they’re more than capable of at least matching. Today they face a Viktoria Plzen side that they’ve lost to on the last four occasions that they’ve been here and amazingly haven’t even scored here in those four games. Given that form, momentum and history all points to a home win, I’m more than inclined to join in and call a home win at 5/6 today!

Saturday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Viktoria Plzen vs Sigma Olomouc – home win at 5/6 – see introduction for full details.

LASK Linz vs SV Ried - away win at 13/5. This is a dubious call but I like it because SV Ried are something of a bogey side for LASK Linz. LASK Linz have lost their last four meetings at either ground against SV Ried, three of those games without even scoring a goal. SV Ried boast the better squad but tend to struggle away from home generally, hence the very generous odds that the bookies have given on this particular outcome. Both of these sides have claimed just one victory in their last three games but it’s SV Ried who enter this game with the momentum after winning their last Bundesliga game, which ironically was the home match against LASK Linz. Although I expect quite a close game, I do feel there’s value in the away win at 13/5.

Roeselare vs Cercle Brugge - away win at 5/4. This year’s Eerste Klasse campaign is already beginning to look extremely bleak for Roeselare, who are still without a win after nine game. They’ve managed to lose six times and draw three times thus far. They’re currently shipping nearly three goals per game at home on average and have obtained just one point from a possible twelve at home this season. Morale is low, goalscoring is low, and today they face a side that they’ve not managed to beat in their last five attempts in the Eerste Klasse. Cercle Brugge aren’t a great side; far from it, in fact. However, they’re a decent side that will punish you if they’re given the opportunity. After a slow start, Cercle Brugge are beginning to start moving with two wins, one draw and just one defeat in their past four games. Interestingly enough, Cercle Brugge have actually won more away games than home games in the Eerste Klasse this year and they’ll surely fancy their chances against a side that have lost four of their last five games and a side that they’ve beaten on their last two Eerste Klasse visits here? For me, 5/4 on the away win holds a significant level of value.

KVSK United vs Red Star Waasland – home win at 10/11. Although there’s not much at all between these two sides, I have to stick my neck out and call a home win here for KVSK United. Why? Well, historically, KVSK United have only lost to Red Star Waasland once in their past eight meetings with KVSK United winning five of those games. More importantly, KVSK United have won three out of their four home games of this encounter, drawing the other game. In fact, KVSK United haven’t even conceded at home to Red Star Waasland in their last three meetings. So yeah, both sides are playing well this season and both are currently unbeaten but with the above information in mind, I think the home win has some value at 10/11.

Sibenik vs Cibalia – home win at 10/11. Both of these two outfits have made very good starts to their respective Prva Liga campaigns and thus deserve respect for it. However, we’re all well aware that neither will be where they are now at the end of the season so it’s inevitable that one takes a tumble at somepoint. Today, I think that side is Cibalia as they’re facing a good Sibenik side that are unbeaten at home. Cibalia have remarkably won two away games this season, alraedy doubling the number of away wins they amassed last season. However, this record simply isn’t going to last as Cibalia are one of the worst away sides in the Prva Liga – fact. Cibalia have drawn their last two games consecutively and face a Sibenik side that have not only won four of their last five games but have also won this exact fixture for three years running without even conceding a goal. If Cibalia had gathered more momentum entering this game then I’d have probably stayed away but given their recent slump, I think that there’s value in the home win for Sibenik at 10/11.

Omonia Nicosia vs Anorthosis Famagusta – home win at evens. I’m riding my luck a considerable amount on this one because there’s really very little quality difference between these two sides (if any!) and both are playing well at the moment. Why am I calling a home win, you ask? Just two reasons this time around. Firstly, Omonia Nicosia have the home advantage over Anorthosis Famagusta in this particular game. However, more importantly (and intriguingly!) Omonia Nicosia have beaten Anorthosis Famagusta in their last four meetings together at either ground, only conceding one goal in those four games. In fact, Anorthosis Famagusta have not only failed to score in five of their last six games against Omonia Nicosia but they’ve naturally also failed to beat them in their past six attempts. I don’t like relying entirely on history but sometimes you just have a bogey side and Anorthosis Famagusta’s bogey side is Omonia Nicosia so taking the home win at evens could prove some good value!

Teplice vs Slovan Liberec – home win at evens. Hosts Teplice have made an excellent start to this season with five wins in nine games and zero defeats. Four wins from their past five games says that they’re a forced to be reckoned with, at least for the time being. I expected visitors Slovan Liberec to be doing a lot better than they are currently as they’re sat in 10th place without any particular momentum or consistency. There’s no doubt that Slovan Liberec are capable of better performances so do approach this game with caution. However, one win in their last five games says that the visitors are well and truly out of form, particularly as they’ve lost two along the way. Only the bottom three sides in the division have lost more away games than Slovan Liberec thus far this season and I can’t see that changing as they travel to a Teplice side that they’ve not even scored against in their past four visits. Out of those four visits in the Gambrinus Liga, they’ve lost three games and drawn once. Given that form and momentum favours the home win, I’m going to call a narrow home win at evens as it’s got some good value in it.

Bolton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur – lay Tottenham Hotspur at 5/6. Unbeaten now in three games, Bolton Wanderers enter this game with a good deal of much-needed momentum. They’ve won two of their last three games and look set to cause Tottenham Hotspur some big problems today. There’s no doubt in my mind that Tottenahm Hotspur are the better side here but Bolton Wanderers are notorious for making life difficult for sides, especially when they’re in form. Tottenham Hotspur also have the unenviable task of facing an organised Bolton Wanderers without prolific Jermain Defoe, defender Jonathan Woodgate and without any cast-iron defensive partnership. If you couple the above information with the fact that Tottenham Hotspur haven’t won away to Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League in their last nine visits, you have to feel that there’s a good deal of value in laying Tottenham Hotspur at 5/6.

Colchester United vs Huddersfield Town – home win at 5/4. Football is a very fickle game, isn’t it? A few weeks ago I was backing Huddersfield Town all over the place but four games without a win means I’m now going against them! Still, football has no place for compassion, as you all know. Huddersfield Town just can’t seem to get their act together at the moment. However, this is in complete contrast to hosts Colchester United, who are currently on the back of two wins in three games, one of which was a cruising victory over a previously unbeaten Charlton Athletic. The hosts have everything going for them at the moment and the visitors are the opposite. Although there’s not much quality difference between the two, momentum is very strong at the moment for Colchester United so taking the home win at 5/4 looks a good bet to me.

Barnet vs Grimsby Town – home win at 4/5. A morale-boosting victory over high-flying Dagenham & Redbridge mid-week should be enough to see them take three points today. Previously I was somewhat concerned as they’d gone three games without a win despite an impressive start to the season but it seems form has been kindled once more, happily. Six defeats in ten games shows that Grimsby Town are looking very susceptible to defeats on a regular basis. There’s not a great deal of quality-difference between these two sides but momentum favours the home win so this should be a fairly straightforward home win at 4/5.

Torquay United vs Bury – away win at 5/4. Despite an atrocious start to their League Two campaign, Bury are beginning to show the kind of form that earned them a promotion play-off place last season with three wins from three games, including a particularly impressive victory at Crewe Alexandra last match. Today they face a Torquay United side that have now truly sampled a “welcome to League Two” greeting with no wins in five games, a run that has seen them lose four games and slide to second bottom in the league. Torquay United are facing the wrong opponents today to try and get themselves out of this rut as the visitors are a better side in better form with tremendous momentum. For me, there’s a great deal of value in the away win at 5/4.

TP 47 Tornio vs AC Oulu – away win at 4/5. Although both sides are on great runs of form respectively, there’s a big quality gap between the two sides. AC Oulu are far and away better than TP 47 Tornio and the odds reflect that, although not nearly as much as I thought they would. Both sides need the points for different reasons so this should be a very open game. If that is the case then a massively in-form AC Oulu should frankly rip a TP 47 Tornio side apart regardless of their current run of form. For me, 4/5 on the away win here is something of a no-brainer!

Grenoble Foot vs Montpellier HSC – away win at 6/4. What on earth is happening to little Grenoble Foot? They’ve played seven games, lost all of them, scored just twice and average conceding two goals per game currently. That kind of form is the main reason I’m backing a newly-promoted Montpellier HSC side to win away here today ’cause generally it’s suicide to take a newly-promoted side to win away from home. However, after a dismal start by the hosts and an outstanding start by Montpellier HSC with four wins in seven games (including just one defeat) you really have to fancy the away win at 6/4 as all factors point to it currently!

Racing Club Lens vs Olympique Lyonnais - away win at 3/4. Do these odds make sense to anyone? I appreciate that Olympique Lyonnais blow a little “hot and cold” every now and then but there’s no denying that they’re fielding arguably their most potent attacking side that they’ve had for many years now, even without the talented Karim Benzema. Olympique Lyonnais have currently won five games from seven and are still unbeaten in Ligue 1. Hosts Racing Club Lens are without a win in their last four games having drawn twice and lost twice. I simply cannot see anything other than an away win here when you compare how readily Racing Club Lens are conceding goals and how eagerly Olympique Lyonnais are scoring them. All the above information leads me to believe that you should all take the away win at 3/4 before the odds inevitably drop!

Panthrakikos vs Aris Salonika – away win at 5/6. This is something of a no-brainer for me. Panthrakikos have lost all five of their Super League games so far this season without any great effort, scoring just once and conceding two goals per game on average. They’re host a top six opponent today – Aris Salonika - who are already showing their credentials early on this season with three wins from five games. I think the only reason that the bookies are giving decent odds on this game is because Aris Salonika are yet to win away from home in this campaign but frankly, I think anyone would win away from home here today given the current circumstances, let alone a side that’s actually a lot better than Panthrakikos and in better form! 5/6 on the away win looks a bargain here!

Baerum Sandvika vs Raufoss Fotball – home win at evens. The Norwegian Divisjon 2 isn’t the home of consistency – ever! Both of these two sides are about as good as each other but their form varies between wins and losses so easily that it’s unreal! However, one key factor that stands out to me is that Baerum Sandvika are superb at home with nine wins from eleven games whereas Raufoss Fotball aren’t great away from home, having been beaten six times in eleven games on the road this season. These two sides are the two biggest goalscorers in the Avdeling 4 so it should be something of a goal-fest, particularly when you consider that both sides need three points. However, I’m favouring the home win here, partially due to the above information regarding the strength of Baerum Sandvika at home and partially due to the fact that they’ve won three of their last four home games and the visitors have lost three out of their last three away games. For those reasons, evens on a home win looks good value to me!

Polonia Bytom vs Lechia Gdansk – home win at 5/6. Both of these two sides have started the Ekstraklasa season a lot better than I’d thought they would. Then again, football is prone to early shocks – I’ll simply be astounded if either of these two sides are as high as they currently are at the end of the season! I like Lechia Gdansk but one win in three games, including two defeats, isn’t the most convincing form to take to play what is currently one of the best two sides in the Ekstraklasa at home – Polonia Bytom. Four wins from four home games says Lechia Gdansk have got a nightmare task ahead of them today, particularly as they’ll no doubt remember their 4-1 crushing here last season. For me, 5/6 on a home win here is an absolute giveaway and I’d recommend taking it before the odds surely drop!

Rudar Velenje vs Olimpija Ljubljana – home win at 10/11. I can’t help but feel that the bookies are overrating Olimpija Ljubljana today. True, they’re one of Slovenia’s most popular clubs but the fact remains that they’ve only just returned to this division and are still playing catch up, at least for the time being. Olimpija Ljubljana have played well lately as they’re unbeaten in four games, winning three of them and scoring nine goals in the process. However, today they face what is arguably the club with the best defence in the Prva Liga – Rudar Velenje. Rudar Velenje are the only Prva Liga side to still have a 100% win record at home with five wins from five games. They score an average of over two goals per game and have conceded just twice at home thus far. Olimpija Ljubljana are a decent side but I think they’re going to find that they’re out of their depth here today against a very good Rudar Velenje side. For me, 10/11 on the home win is something of a gift ’cause I don’t believe the visitors have what it takes to match the hosts today.

Le Mont vs Vaduz – away win at evens. This is a bit of a no-brainer, really, although I’m a little concerned that Vaduz haven’t won away from home in the Challenge League so far this season. However, Vaduz do still have some Super League quality players in their team and have shown it, if only briefly, in the Challenge League this season. Although Vaduz’s form has been far from reliable, what has been reliable is the lack of ability that Le Mont possess currently. Seven defeats from nine games, just one victory and a defence that leaks over two goals per game on average tells me that Le Mont are in no fit state to obtain anything from this game. They’ve lost five straight games and even a hapless away side like Vaduz should have no trouble claiming three points today. For me, the away win at evens looks a good value bet although I do recommend approach with caution for the above reasons.

KuPS Kuopio vs FC Honka Espoo

Today’s featured game is the Veikkausliiga encounter between relegation battlers KuPS Kuopio and title hopefuls FC Honka Espoo. The hosts have started playing better football lately simply because they have to to stay in the Veikkausliiga. They’ve won three from their last five games, losing two along the way, their most recent of which was a 3-0 humbling at TPS Turku last match. The hosts are in a better position than their fellow relegation stragglers RoPS Rovaniemi and JJK Jyvaskyla but will still seek any possible points to secure their Veikkausliiga status where possible. However, despite KuPS Kuopio’s recent valiant efforts, what we’ve found out is that when they encounter a top quality side with valiant efforts because their need for points is great too…KuPS Kuopio get swept away. TPS Turku proved that last match and I rate FC Honka Espoo as being better than TPS Turku, if only marginally. The visitors average scoring over two goals per game and have won four of their last five games. The contrast of quality between these two sides is vast and when a good side plays with great motivation, they almost always win. FC Honka Espoo have to win this game to have any hope of winning the Veikkausliiga, title, which is looking unlikely now due to HJK Helsinki’s somewhat simple home games remaining. However, today’s visitors aren’t going to let it slide that easily and will be well-motivated for today’s game. Frankly, I’m beyond surprised that the odds on this game are 19/20 because there’s such a big difference between these two sides that it’s unreal. I expect the odds to drop so take them whilst you can!

Saturday’s Picks

My tips:

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

KuPS Kuopio vs FC Honka Espoo - away win at 19/20 – see introduction for full details.

Internacional vs Flamengo – home win at 3/4. Despite the recent poor form of hosts Internacional (two consecutive domestic defeats), it’s undeniable that Internacional remain the better side between these two clubs. Their home form is still amongst the best in the league with eight wins from twelve games, losing just twice on the way. Flamengo, despite being a good side, are a poor away side. They’ve lost six away games from eleven and won just twice. They’re in good form with three wins from four games but they’re going to have a very tough game here as they’ve lost three of their last four away games against Internacional, drawing the other a couple of seasons ago. For me, form takes a backseat here as there’s a significant quality gap so the home win at 3/4 looks good for me.

Swansea City vs Sheffield United – away win at 13/10. Promotion hopefuls Sheffield United journey to Wales to take on out-of-sorts Swansea City. The hosts are without a win in their last four games, drawing three and losing once. It’s more than apparent to see exactly where Swansea City’s problems lie at the moment with just a single glance at the league table – goalscoring. They’ve managed to score just three goals in their first eight games of the season, which isn’t nearly good enough, as I’m sure you’re all aware. I think it’s fair to say that they’re really missing Jason Scotland since his summer transfer to Wigan Athletic. Today, Swansea City are hosting a Sheffield United side that have won three from their last five games and are generally looking pretty reliable when it comes to winning games. I can’t see an out-of-form side that can’t score goals playing against a better side and obtaining a result so I’m siding with the away win at 13/10.

Ipswich Town vs Newcastle United – away win at 13/10. Hosts Ipswich Town are playing better than they have done all season with just two defeats in their last five games, drawing the other three. That said, it’s still more than evident the number of problems they actually have as they’ve still not won a league game in eight attempts. Today they host a Newcastle United side that were humbled 3-0 mid-week by Plymouth Argyle in the League Cup. However, I would urge you all to disregard this as Newcastle United fielded a lot of youngsters in that game as they are prioritising promotion this season. As far as league form goes, Newcastle United have won four from their last five games and are currently second in the Championship table. Effectively, Newcastle United are a better side a and are in better form so an away win looks fairly straightforward at 13/10.

Bristol Rovers vs Brighton & Hove Albion – home win at 4/5. A great start to their campaign has seen Bristol Rovers soar to third place in the table with six wins from eight games. They’ve won four of their last five games and are obviously on a massive high at the moment. Bristol Rovers aren’t a prolific side but they’re certainly effective. Today they host a Brighton & Hove Albion side that that had been on a good run before losing 3-2 at home to Southend United last match. Two wins from eight games says that Brighton & Hove Albion could be in for a long season, especially as there’s only one side in the whole division that has currently conceded more goals than they have. To put it bluntly, the visitors look like cannon fodder currently and the hosts look like the cannon. 4/5 on this selection should be a great bet!

Shrewsbury Town vs Northampton Town – home win at 4/5. Four straight defeats has now seen recently relegated Northampton Town slide to just fourth bottom. They’ve lost five games from eight so far and don’t appear to be showing any signs of getting out of their rut. Hosts Shrewsbury Town have been a “home side” for some time now and this season isn’t proving too different as they’ve already notched up two home wins. Three wins in four games has got them to seventh in League Two and form/momentum is pointing to this record being continued today. Taking the home win at 4/5 should be a good bet today.

Maag Tammeka Tartu vs Tulevik Viljandi – home win at 2/1. I know Maag Tammeka Tartu aren’t a particularly good side but they warrant better odds than 2/1, surely? It was only last season that they finished above Tulevik Viljandi, if only on goal difference. They’ve also won this fixture for three out of the last four Meistriliiga campaigns, drawing the other game. Whereas the table this year shows a clear points difference between the two sides, I don’t think there’s much in it quality-wise. You also have to take into account that Tulevik Viljandi haven’t won in five games, losing their last three on the bounce. Maag Tammeka Tartu, however, have won their last three games and have some great momentum entering this game. Frankly, I’d expect a lot lower odds but I’m happy to have a medium stake on the home win at 2/1 with the above information in mind!

Inter Turku vs Tampere United – home win at evens. After their defeat last match at home to HJK Helsinki, Tampere United’s surprise title challenge is now finished with and they look to battle out a Europa League place with today’s hosts Inter Turku and IFK Mariehamn. Yes, I am not including Haka Valkeakoski in this equation because they’re atrocious and I’ll be astounded if they make it! Basically, this match has suddenly become a lot more important than was initially thought. Fortunately for Inter Turku, they’re hosting a side that have lost more games away games than the majority of the Veikkausliiga. In fact, only three sides have lost more away games and they’re the bottom three in the Veikkausliiga! They hosts have got some good momentum at the moment as they’re unbeaten in four games, winning twice and drawing twice. It doesn’t seem to matter what form or momentum Tampere United have – they just seem to win at home and lose away, generally! I can’t say I think anything different is going to occur today, either – Inter Turku have got enough to win this game and form says that they will. Evens on this selection should be a reliable bet.

FC Koln vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen - away win at evens. Despite a disappointing cup defeat mid-week, Bayer 04 Leverkusen are playing very well in the Bundesliga. They’ve currently won four games from six and remain unbeaten in second place. Today they travel to FC Koln, a side that has managed just one victory in their six games thus far, losing four along the way. They’ve not won any games at home in this campaign and although they’ll look to make it difficult for Bayer 04 Leverkusen to play their football today, I can’t help but feel that when the final whistle goes, it’ll be an away win that has happened due to the quality and efficiency of Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The away win at evens could prove very valuable indeed today!

Szombathelyi Haladas vs Diosgyori VTK – home win at 5/6. Both of these two sides have made atrocious starts to the season but one of them shouldn’t really be there; Szombathelyi Haladas. They had a great Soproni Liga campaign last year and managed to play a few European games this year as a result of it. They’re a decent side and have proven such by gaining an impressive win against Fehervar this season. Their general form has been their let-down as opposed to their actual ability. However, their form has shown signs of improvement lately having only lost two of their last five games and having scored nine goals in the process. Despite being above Szombathelyi Haladas, Diosgyori VTK are in a worse position in my eyes because they don’t have a particularly good squad and they’ve now lost three in a row. They’re just not scoring enough goals, unlike their hosts today, who are conceding too many. I expect a lot of goals in this game but I think it’s time that Szombathelyi Haladas shone again by winning this game at 5/6.

Fylkir Reykjavik vs FH Hafnarfjordur – away win at 6/4. High-flying Fylkir Reykjavik host giants FH Hafnarfjordur in a game that arguably the hosts need to win more than the visitors. Reigning champions FH Hafnarfjordur are leading the Landsbankadeild Karla by five points currently and are starting to look settled again after a mid-season blip. When FH Hafnarfjordur are settled, other sides start to lose games against them – constantly! Fylkir Reykjavik are no exception to this ruling having lost this exact fixture for four seasons running now. Fylkir Reykjavik have only beaten FH Hafnarfjordur twice in their last ten attempts and both of those were away from home. In terms of form, there’s not much between these two sides but when you mention ability, FH Hafnarfjordur are the kings of Iceland and I thoroughly expect to see that shine through today as we make money on the outcome with superb odds of 6/4!

Sligo Rovers vs Shamrock Rovers – away win at 10/11. Just one point now seperates league leaders Bohemians and title challengers Shamrock Rovers. The visitors today have won their last three games in a row and are unbeaten in five domestic games. They’ve only lost three games all season and look intend on taking the title to the wire with Bohemians this season. Shamrock Rovers are the best away side in the division currently, having only lost once on the road this season and winning seven of their fourteen away games. Hosts Sligo Rovers may be unbeaten in three games but they’ve only won once in five games. Effectively, the hosts shouldn’t have enough to trouble the visitors today so the away win at 10/11 looks a good bet.

Sampdoria vs Internazionale – away win at 10/11. Despite a good start to the season, Sampdoria were brought crashing back down to earth by a rampant Fiorentina last match. Unfortunately for Sampdoria, they don’t exactly have the easiest of pick-me-up games as they’re hosting Jose Mourinho’s Internazionale. The visitors are unbeaten this season with four wins from five games and look set for yet another dominating season with the quality available at their disposal. There’s not too much between these two form-wise but ultimately, Internazionale have a better squad than Sampdoria on every front so the away win at 10/11 should be fairly routine.

Albinoleffe vs Crotone – home win at 5/6. They’ve taken a long time starting their Serie B season but Albinoleffe have finally won their first game of the season with a 2-1 victory over Mantova. The hosts are actually a good side but they’ve really hid it well so far with four straight defeats prior to the win. Albinoleffe will be looking to continue their mini run and they’ve picked a perfect game to do it in as they’re hosting newly-promoted Crotone, a side that still has no victories in Serie B this season, drawing four games and losing two. Their massive problem is goalscoring, something that is clearly indicated by the fact that they’ve only scored once all season. A resurgent Albinoleffe is a dangerous Albinoleffe and I fear Crotone might just get taught a lesson today. 5/6 on the home win for a good side that’s beginning to wake up looks a good bet to me!

Salernitana vs Ascoli - away win at 19/10. I’m not entirely sure why Ascoli are at 19/10 to win this game but perhaps that’s why I’m not a bookmaker. Not only did they win here last season, but they’ve not lost any game from six this season in Serie B and have won three of their last five games. They’re travelling to a Salernitana side that obtained their first point of the season away to Piacenza last match but still have no wins. They’ve scored just two goals all season, hence their problem, and let in eleven goals. It’s a considerable problem to not score goals but it’s even worse when you’ve conceded more goals than the rest of your division. For me, this has away win written all over it and can only imagine the bookies have made a slight error with this one! 19/10 on the away could be a bargain here.

Rio Ave vs Academica de Coimbra – home win at 5/6. Unbeaten after five games, Rio Ave have made a tremendous start to this campaign, one that I honestly didn’t think they were capable of. Their unbeaten status is largely due to their boring football as they’ve drawn three times and won twice by only scoring five goals and conceding two. Today they face an Academica de Coimbra side that boast a very similar record, only that they’ve lost three and drawn twice instead of actually bothering to win a game. I expect this game to be mind-numbingly boring and very low-scoring but think Rio Ave have the momentum behind them to give them a narrow victory here at 5/6.

Valencia vs Atletico Madrid – home win at 10/11. I was going to stay well clear of this game until I saw the head-to-head statistics. Why? Well, both of these sides are generally unreliable as hell when it comes to betting. Valencia managed to let a lead slip against the ten men of Sporting Gijon last weekend and lost to Getafe mid-week but have already beaten a very good Sevilla CF this season. Atletico Madrid have an even more puzzling set of results as they’ve already been demolished by Barcelona and Malaga, as well as having been held to a draw at home by lowly Almeria mid-week. There’s a lot of internal problems at the club at the moment and to make matters worse, they’ve lost Sergio Aguero through injury for a couple of weeks. Things have gone from bad to worse as Atletico Madrid are still yet to win a Primera Liga game this season and that doesn’t look likely to change as they’ve lost here at the Mestalla for four games running now. 10/11 looks to be a bargain on this one, particularly as Atletico Madrid’s defence is a real mess at the moment.

Cadiz vs Recreativo de Huelva - away win at 8/5. Newly-promoted Cadiz have found life in the Segunda Liga very tricky indeed with no wins in four games. They’ve only conceded three goals but the fact that they’ve only scored once in those four games speaks volumes. Visitors Recreativo de Huelva have won three from four games since being relegated from the Primera Liga and seem intent on returning there as swiftly as possible. Cadiz don’t have the ability nor the momentum to match a very much in-form Recreativo de Huelva tonight so I think the away win at 8/5 looks relatively straightforward.

Kalmar vs IFK Goteborg – away win at 9/5. Risky call? Sure, why not! Since the loss of the two Elms, Kalmar have really struggled in their games, which is something you’d expect from a decent side that have relied upon a couple of talented individuals for too long. Kalmar have now just won twice in five games and their Allsvenskan title challenge looks rocky to say the least. Visitors IFK Goteborg were in a similar position to what Kalmar are now but in July when they lost Pontus Wernblom, ironically. However, IFK Goteborg are well and truly back now with no defeats in five games, winning three of them and drawing twice.  Whereas that’s a good source of information, the other convincing factor was that IFK Goteborg have won three out of their last three Allsvenskan games here without any great difficulty. In fact, here’s a statistic for you – Kalmar haven’t taken any points off IFK Goteborg in their last five Allsvenskan games at either ground. How about that for a confidence booster?? So yeah, 9/5 suddenly looks quite tempting, doesn’t it?

St.Gallen vs Young Boys Bern – away win at 10/11. I don’t think I can ever thank the bookies enough for drastically underestimating just how good Young Boys Bern actually are – long may it last! You’d have thought that their persistent victories over their rivals and tremendous form would be enough to show how good they are but apparently not! They’ve now won eight Super League games from ten, losing just once along the way and averaging 2.3 goals per game currently. Today they face newly-promoted St.Gallen, who are unbeaten at home so far in the Super League, although I can’t help but feel that’s about to change! No wins in three games and two defeats along the way means that St.Gallen are currently on a slippery slope and it’s about to get a whole lot more slippy as they host the best side in Switzerland. Everything about this game points to the away win so I’m more than happy to take it at 10/11.
