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.

Manchester United vs Bolton Wanderers

Today’s featured game is at Old Trafford beween reigning champions Manchester United and traditional relegation stragglers Bolton Wanderers. Hosts Manchester United enter this game with some notable absences whereas visitors Bolton Wanderers have few injury concerns and are surprisingly unbeaten in their past four games. My main reasoning behind today’s bet is that Manchester United’s strike force is looking somewhat limited for this game. With Wayne Rooney missing the game through injury and Dimitar Berbatov likely to miss the game due to the birth of his daughter, Manchester United are left to rely upon returning crock Michael Owen to penetrate a strong and well-organised Bolton Wanderers defence. Whereas I respect that his off-the-ball movement is good enough to grab himself a chance or two, generally he’s not going to be able to compete with the likes of Cahill in the air, one-on-one, or for pace, thus removing a great deal of Manchester United’s goalscoring potency. Bolton Wanderers tend to park the bus in front of goal when they come to Old Trafford under Gary Megson and it’s generally rather effective, keeping the scoreline under 2.5 goals for the last four games between these two sides and that’s with both sides having full squads. Without Dimitar Berbatov, Manchester United look rather devoid of creativity more often than not this season and that’s a big worry because that’s the one area we haven’t at least attempted to replace Ronaldo in. As a Manchester United fan myself, I have to admit I’m concerned for this game. I think it’ll be quite a boring and one-sided game but with such little attacking potential on the field, it’s hard to see Manchester United consistently breaking down a resolute and mentally strong Bolton Wanderers side. Given that Bolton Wanderers haven’t even scored against Manchester United for four seasons now, it doesn’t seem likely to change now as their tactics are not designed to accomodate for such a thing. Given Manchester United’s lack of attacking prowess available at this present time, it seems unlikely that they’ll score more than two goals. For those reasons, taking under 2.5 goals at 6/5 looks something of a bargain today!

P.S. Manchester United have also said that Darren Fletcher is a doubt for this game, which is another big loss against a combative Bolton Wanderers side.

Saturday’s PicksMy tips: 

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

Manchester United vs Bolton Wanderers – under 2.5 goals at 6/5 – see introduction for full details.

SV Ried vs SV Kapfenberg – home win with -1.75 handicap at 13/10. Arguably Austria’s best home side SV Ried entertains relegation battlers SV Kapfenberg with the knowledge that they’re now unbeaten in three and well on course to reproducing their excellent home form. SV Ried have had some very tough home games so far this season and yet have still managed to score an average of two goals per game, losing just one of those four games. Today they host an SV Kapfenberg side that have lost three out of five away games so far this season, conceding nearly three goals per game in the process. With two defeats and one draw from their last three games, SV Kapfenberg are not only a lesser side but also have no momentum for the game. Considering that SV Ried have won the last two encounters between these two sides at home in the Bundesliga, you have to feel that they’re capable of doing such a thing yet again. The odds aren’t great for this outcome, however, unless you’re seeking accumulator fodder. Therefore, I’m going to stick my head out and say that SV Ried will beat the -1.75 handicap at 13/10 just like they did last season due to the above information.

Rijeka vs Osijek - home win at 4/5. Four wins and one draw from five home games shows that Rijeka are setting out their stall much as they did last season by turning the Kantrida Stadium into a fortress again. Although both of these sides have made promising starts to the Prva Liga season, only one of these two sides are capable of maintaining their excellent form and that’s hosts Rijeka. Osijek have done well mostly at home in this campaign with their away form a little patchy currently after two away defeats and just one victory from four away games. Hosts Rijeka have won their last two games consecutively, granting them good momentum entering this game and they’re also the better side out of these two so taking the home win at 4/5 seems something of a gift to me.

Banik Ostrava vs Slovan Liberec – home win at 10/11. With their dismal Gambrinus Liga start continuing, Slovan Liberec are looking a good side to bet against week in, week out. Three defeats, one draw and just one win from their past five games says that there are problems in the Slovan Liberec camp that aren’t simply going to go away overnight. The visitors have lost a staggering four out of five away games this season and have conceded more away goals than any other Gambrinus Liga side currently with an average of over two goals conceded per away game. I think hosts Banik Ostrava are overachieving currently but they do currently have enough to win this game, particularly as they enter this game on the back of a victory. Three home wins and an unbeaten run of five home games says that Banik Ostrava will make life hard for Slovan Liberec today and should have enough to claim a narrow victory with their tenacious defensive football at 10/11.

Nordsjaelland vs OB Odense – away win at 4/5. Visitors OB Odense are simply looking too good for everyone at the moment! Currently atop the Superligaen, the visitors have won three games consecutively and have only been felled once this season. Their away form isn’t massively conclusive but their ability and momentum is as they enter this game with out-of-form Nordsjaelland. I expect the hosts to give them a stern test in this game but ultimately the away win does look likely as the hosts have now lost three games consecutively. For me, 4/5 on the away win bears significant value today.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea - away win at 4/5. After the shambolic defeat at Wigan Athletic in their last away game, Chelsea will almost certainly avoid a repeat of that display as they travel to bogey-side Aston Villa. Just one win here in their last four visits shows why the odds are so good on the away win but in all honesty, a severe quality difference should be very much evident here with Aston Villa’s shaky defence being tested by the tactically astute Carlo Ancelotti. The hosts may have conceded only a handful of goals this season but they’ve only had one real test yet – this should be their biggest yet. Aston Villa also aren’t looking as potent as usual – something seems to be missing somewhere. Chelsea just look almost German with their efficiency to win games and I thoroughly expect another “German” performance today to earn us some money at 4/5!

Stoke City vs West Ham United - home win at 11/10. Three defeats and one draw says that West Ham United are not mentally prepared to take on a fierce and competitive Stoke City at the boisterous Britannia Stadium. West Ham United just aren’t scoring enough goals and thus their momentum is suffering. Stoke City seem to have special powers of survival whenever they play at home, regardless of their actual form at the time. Stoke City have won all of their home games at home this season against sides that they should be troubling i.e. excluding the games against Chelsea and Manchester United so their ability from last season has not become dormant. Basically, Tony Pulis’ side are much more easily motivated than Gianfranco Zola’s West Ham United and the hosts have the impressive ability to win ugly whenever they need to. For me, the home win at 10/11 bears considerable value today, given the above information!  

Sunderland vs Liverpool – home win with draw no bet at 6/4. I’ve been toying with this selection in my head all week but it’s been nailed by the fact that Liverpool’s only two world-class players are both missing for this game through injury. Yes, the heavily-relied upon duo of Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard both miss this match through injury, something which will give Steve Bruce’s Sunderland side a much easier ride on the day. Sunderland were massively impressive in their display away at Manchester United before the international break as the manager has really got them firing on all cylinders with a great mix of talent, work-rate, and efficiency. I can see Sunderland becoming a force over the next few years if things continue as they are, seriously. Today though – Kenwyne Jones is going to give a very dodgy Liverpool defence a lot of problems today, as is the pacey Darren Bent. For me, Sunderland have all the momentum and confidence at the moment whereas Liverpool haven’t really hit their stride yet. Taking the home win with draw no bet odds of 6/4 could be a very good bet today.

Wycombe Wanderers vs Colchester United – away win at evens. Although not many games in England today take my fancy, this one certainly does. It’s something of a no-brainer, really. Not only do Colchester United have a better side but they’re also in tremendous form with three consecutive wins and no defeats in their past seven games. Colchester United are one of the top goalscoring sides in League One and look to further that record today away to lowly Wycombe Wanderers. Since being promoted from League Two, Wycombe Wanderers have really struggled to adapt with just one win in twelve games. They’ve lost four of their last five games and are struggling to remember how to compete or to locate any motivation whatsoever. There’s a big quality mis-match here today and a massive momentum clash so the away win at evens looks something of a bargain today!

RoPS Rovaniemi vs KuPS Kuopio – home win at evens. As this is the last game of the Veikkausliiga for both sides, it only really becomes necessary for RoPS Rovaniemi to play this game as they’re currently bottom of the Veikkausliiga and heading for the Ykkonen unless they win today. As fortune one would have it, they’re facing a KuPS Kuopio side at home that they’re more than capable of beating, let alone matching, and also a side that has nothing to play for. RoPS Rovaniemi have a chance to make a last stand but they must win this game today to have a hope of achieving a relegation play-off spot against one of the Ykkonen clubs – assuming that JJK Jyvaskyla don’t beat Tampere United, of course. RoPS Rovaniemi are capable of winning this game today and I thoroughly expect them to because they’ve got the quality to do it and if they don’t then they wave farewell to this league. For me, the home win at evens bears some value today.

TPS Turku vs FC Honka Espoo – away win at 17/10. In the final game of the season, both of these two sides have a chance of winning the Veikkausliiga. Both sides require HJK Helsinki to lose their game at home to Jaro Pietarsaari, which might look unlikely on first glance but HJK Helsinki have a lot of problems playing against Jaro Pietarsaari in general. Regardless of that, however, both TPS Turku and FC Honka Espoo have to win this game. FC Honka Espoo have already shown that they can beat TPS Turku by beating them away in the Suomen Cup a few weeks back. Although they needed extra time after a 2-2 draw, they won 5-2 in extra time, showing their true potential. TPS Turku have looked unreliable ever since they were listed as a title challenger in the final third of the Veikkausliiga season, dropping points in silly places and not putting enough pressure on HJK Helsinki. In fact, the league leaders have also stuttered of late. Only FC Honka Espoo have truly embraced their position, which is ironic as if they’d have done this earlier in the season then they’d have won the Veikkausliiga without question. An emphatic 9-0 demolition of RopS Rovaniemi last match showed just how confident and in-form the FC Honka Espoo side are so I do fancy the away win today at 17/10 – let’s just hope HJK Helsinki slip up!

Accrington Stanley vs Bournemouth – home win with draw no bet at 5/6. I don’t rate Accrington Stanley very highly but a Bournemouth squad with massive injury problems will struggle against anyone. Accrington Stanley have won four of their six home games this season so it’s already going to be a tough match for Bournemouth but with the vast number of players unavailable to them, you can’t help but feel that a home win with draw no bet odds of 5/6 looks favourable here.

Auxerre vs Girondins de Bordeaux – away win at evens. Desipte a surprising loss at Saint-Etienne pre-international break, Laurent Blanc’s Girondins de Bordeaux are still a formidable force for any side to deal with, particularly a mediocre Auxerre. The hosts have played well lately since a slow start and are unbeaten in five. However, they’re very low goalscorers and simply cannot match the firepower of Girondins de Bordeaux, the Ligue 1 top goalscorers. Olympique Lyonnais ran riot here six games ago; I thoroughly expect a similar display from an impressive Girondins de Bordeaux today at evens.

Olympique Lyonnais vs Sochaux – home win with -1.75 handicap at 10/11. Olympique Lyonnais are looking extremely impressive with a wealth of attacking potency at the moment and Sochaux are looking their usual mediocre selves and cannot pull their away form together whatsoever. Do I really need to elaborate further on this selection when you see Sochaux have lost three from four away games and aren’t fit to be on the same park as Olympique Lyonnais? The -1.75 handicap at 10/11 looks a bargain if you know anything about football.

Kaposvari Rakoczi vs Ujpest – away win at 10/11. Relegation battlers Kaposvari Rakoczi entertain title challengers Ujpest in a game where both sides really could use three points. The hosts haven’t won a game in their last five, losing three and drawing twice. To their credit, they are unbeaten at home but visitors Ujpest are more than capable of disposing of that particular record. Four wins from their past five games says that Ujpest are looking their usual potent selves and I can’t see them breaking stride against an out-of-form Kaposvari Rakoczi tonight. For me, the away win at 10/11 is a good bet, particularly as the visitors have simply got too much quality for their hosts to deal with.

Genoa vs Internazionale - home win with draw no bet odds of 5/4. Hosts Genoa have impressed immensely this season with some great home displays, potent goalscoring and general ability to play football. Although their defence has been shaky at times, I’m prepared to overlook that today in light of the news that both Eto’o and Milito miss this game through injury. Internazionale have already proven that they can stumble on the road but without those two key strikers, they’re really going to struggle to take anything off a resilieint and unbeaten-at-home Genoa side. For me, the hosts have got more than enough to cause problems and potentially even win this game so taking the home win at 6/4 with draw no bet seems a good call, particularly as Internazionale have European committments mid-week.

Cittadella vs Piacenza – home win at evens. Three home wins and just one draw says that Cittadella are in a great position to beat Piacenza at home. Three wins in their last four games has given the home side the momentum they need to see it through, too.  Although I wouldn’t have expected such a good start to their Serie B campaign, I’m certainly embracing it now for games like this although I really don’t think this form will last the season. Visitors Piacenza have lost two consecutive games and sit just outside the relegation zone. With just one win away from home all season, they do look unlikely to take an impressive Cittadella apart so the home win at evens looks a good call to me.

FC Twente Enschede vs AZ Alkmaar – home win at evens. This is an interesting match-up at this time of the season because AZ Alkmaar are currently everything but what they were last season, which was to be expected after the departure of Van Gaal, really. Three defeats in their last four games isn’t anything like the AZ Alkmaar we became used to last season. However, FC Twente Enschede are everything we saw last season and more. Steve McClaren has made the same side from last year even stronger and more efficient as their position atop the Eredivisie only too clearly indicates. Seven wins from nine games has given FC Twente Enschede great momentum so taking the home win today in a game of two sides at polar opposites with odds of evens on the home win seems a bargain!

Molde vs Stabaek - away win with draw no bet at evens. This is a very risky call when you consider that Stabaek for all their qualities are simply a “home” side. However, Molde’s run of three straight defeats leaves their morale bruised and battered as the efficient Stabaek roll onwards towards them with three consecutive wins. Eager to atone for their defeat by Molde this season, Stabaek have all the motivation and momentum they need to win this game so taking the away win with draw no bet at evens looks a good call today.

Polonia Warsaw vs Odra Wodzislaw - lay Polonia Warsaw at 11/10. This is a risky call but both sides are currently in atrocious form with little to no sign of cohesion. Atypically, I’d favour Polonia Warsaw to do the damage here but as they’re missing 9-10 players for this game through injury, you really have to start to favuor their opponents. Polonia Warsaw don’t have a big squad to begin with but when that’s taken from them then they start to struggle, naturally. Odra Wodzislaw won’t get many better opportunities than their game today to take three points this season so laying a demoralised and physically damaged Polonia Warsaw at 11/10 could be one of the bets of the day!

Cracovia Krakow vs Polonia Bytom – home win with draw no bet at 4/5. This is a risky call but one I like the look of purely because Polonia Bytom are going to really struggle scoring goals without the only two strikers they have, Zielinski and Podstawek, as they don’t have any others. Their form has been good so far this season but as I cannot see them scoring today and given that Cracovia Krakow don’t lose many games, you have to favour the home win at draw no bet odds of 4/5.

Spartak Nalchik vs CSKA Moscow – away win at 4/5. Although both sides are in good form and both need the points, there’s only one side here with real quality and you don’t need me to tell you which side that is. Rejuvenated under Juande Ramos, CSKA Moscow are still intent on claiming the Premier League title and given the faltering form of league leaders Rubin Kazan, it may not be quite so far-fetched as you may think. Either way, an away win is on the cards here at 4/5.

Hibernian vs Kilmarnock – home win at 4/5. Third-placed Hibernian have been impressive in recent weeks as they’re undefeated in their past three games, winning twice and drawing the other game. Today they entertain a Kilmarnock side destined for the division below if their form doesn’t pick up. Without a win in their last five games, it looks unlikely that Kilmarnock will trouble Hibernian today, particularly as they’ve lost two of their three away games already this season. Therefore, odds of 4/5 on the home win look inviting.

Castellon vs Real Betis Balompie – away win at 10/11. A quick-glance at the Segunda Liga table will tell you all you need to know about this bet, really! Real Betis Balompie have struggled to win lately but if they can’t beat Castellon at the moment then they’ve got serious issues! A no-brainer at 10/11!

Denizlispor vs Bursaspor - away win at 11/10. Seven games into the Super Lig and Denizlispor are in trouble as they’ve still not won a game. The second-bottom club have managed to score a meager three goals overall and look general cannon fodder for any opponent. Bursaspor have come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of years and this year is no exception. Three straight wins has seen today’s visitors climb to third in the table with a total of five wins from eight games. They’ve already won two of their four away games so far this season so an out-of-form and toothless Denizlispor shouldn’t have any capacity to change that record in their favour. For me, the away win at 11/10 shows significant value!
