Augsburg vs MSV Duisburg

Posted on by

For membership details, go here.

Today’s secondary featured game is the Bundesliga 2 encounter between heavyweights Augsburg and MSV Duisburg. Neither side is as strong as they were last season and I’d generally find it rather hard to seperate these two sides as they can usually match each other blow-for-blow.

In fact, the above is partially the reason that I’ve made this selection today as both sides should really nullify the other. Augsburg have been strong at home this season with six wins in ten Bundesliga 2 home games but that record largely stems from a solid defensive record rather than a flambuoyant goalscoring record, although Augsburg do enjoy a scoring spree from time to time. Duisburg have earned their dues away from home this season via a similar method of keeping sides out rather than relentlessly attacking, hence them losing just three times away from home in Bundesliga 2 this season.

Atypically, you’d expect this type of game to go over 2.5 goals with two good sides locking horns and some of the better attacking players in the division on show but I’m not so sure here. Four out of the last six meetings between these two sides have gone under 2.5 goals at either ground so there is a history of this game struggling for goals, more often than not. It aids my cause that Augsburg miss two important attackers in Oehrl and veteran Thurk, although Rafael is still a very good striker and Hain’s not a bad substitute for the afore-mentioned. They’re missing engine Traore in midfield too, which won’t help them greatly either.

However, they’re not alone with their absences as Duisburg are missing some players too, most notably giant Austrian striker Maierhofer, who is integral for scoring, creating chances, and holding the ball up. They’re also missing two very important midfielders in Sukalo and Yilmaz, both of which tend to contribute rather a lot with goals from midfield so Duisburg’s attacking game is massively hampered in this encounter.

Seven out of Duisburg’s ten away games in the Bundesliga 2 have gone under 2.5 goals this season and Augsburg’s last three home games in the division have all gone under 2.5 goals too. I think we’ll see the two sides cancel each other out here and although I’d have to give Augsburg the advantage as I think Duisburg are missing marginally more important players to their team than Augsburg are, I still think the value is in under 2.5 goals at 4/5.

Team news – Augsburg miss Traore, Oehrl, and Thurk whereas Duisburg miss Sukalo, Yilmaz, and Maierhofer.

Verdict: Under 2.5 goals at 4/5.

Friday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Independiente vs Velez Sarsfield - both sides to score at 10/11.

This is the first game of the Apertura for both sides and both sides here are a little altered following the usual transfer activity in Argentina. Independiente have signed Colombian defender Velez from Once Caldas Manizales and ex-Huracan striker Defederico from Corinthians so they’re set to push on this season, especially if Defederico links up well with Silvera. Velez Sarsfield have kept hold of most of their prized assets but Cristaldo left to join Metalist Kharkiv in Ukraine for a hefty sum. However, they’ve signed Ramirez from Godoy Cruz de Mendoza to bolster their midfield so the numbers are about the same for Velez with a slight tactical change required. Velez still have Maxi Moralez suppoting Silva and Martinez in attack, which for me is one of the best attacking trios in Argentina currently so I won’t write off Velez whatsoever, although the departed Cristaldo will be missed.

Independiente have played some competitive games already this season with back-to-back games against Ecuador’s Deportivo Quito in the Copa Libertadores seeing them exit the competition and a 0-1 defeat at home to Tigre last week in a game that was part of last season’s Clausura but was postponed due to Independiente’s participation in the Copa Sudamericana. Therefore, Independiente do have more match practive than Velez Sarsfield and they’ve looked decent so far although I think there’s more to come from them yet.

Velez are still the better of these two sides although at the start of a campaign, anything can happen, hence me not entering the 1×2 market on this one. Velez Sarsfield have a Copa Libertadores game in three days time too – will they rest players here? I wouldn’t have thought so personally – the game at home to Caracas isn’t one I’d label as difficult so even if Velez do rest players then it should be a minimal amount although make no mistake here – the Copa Libertadores is the Holy Grail for South American clubs and they’ll go through fire and water to win it!

Both sides have scored for two out of the last three meetings at Independiente and I wouldn’t be surprised to see more of the same here. Although Independiente have looked ok thus far, they’re still missing important defender Galeano in defence due to his international commitments with Argentina U20 at the Copa Sudamericano U20 tournament in Peru and that does make them more vulnerable at the back, which is the last thing you’d want against a Silva-Martinez partnership. However, Independiente bring their own threat into this game with experienced Silvera and promising Defederico so I think they could penetrate a fairly rusty Velez defence in this game tonight.

Therefore, my call is for both sides to score and although neither side is particularly adventurous in circumstances such as these, I think there’s a better chance of it coming in than the bookies do as odds of 10/11 suggest all too clearly.

Team news – Independiente miss Galeano for this game.

Verdict: Both sides to score at 10/11.

LDU Loja vs Deportivo Cuenca – over 2.5 goals at 4/5.

Newly-promoted LDU Loja have set about Primera A rather well, scoring goals for fun but defending suicidally at the same time. They’ve already beaten well-organised El Nacional Quito 2-1 at home and gave Emelec Guayaquil a real fright in a 3-2 defeat lately so Deportivo Cuenca are in for a rough ride here. Cuenca are notoriously bad travellers too, which doesn’t help their cause. However, this Cuenca side is one of the better Cuenca sides in recent years with their ability to win (even away from home) more evident than before. The signing of Paraguayan striker Ayala from Deportivo Quito looks a good move, in my eyes, as does the signing of promising Ecuadorian striker Andrade from Espoli Cayambe. They’ve also picked up Argentinian midfielder Ledesma from Racing Club Avellaneda, defender Castro from El Nacional Quito, and Barcelona Guayaquil duo Cevallos in defence and Gonzales in midfield and although there’s a lot of changes in their team, they do look stronger for it. The old Cuenca would defend a 1-0 lead as long as possible but this Cuenca side attacks and tries to score goals. Compare that style with LDU Loja’s all-out-attack style and we really should see goals here, realistically.

I’ve never been an advocate of over 2.5 goals calls in games involving Deportivo Cuenca but the times appear to be changing somewhat in Ecuador. Both games of both of these two sides thus far this season have gone over 2.5 goals due to their attacking displays and over 2.5 goals in this game appeals to me at 4/5 as a result.

Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at 4/5.

Accumulator fodder:

Veendam, Granada.

Empoli vs Ascoli

Posted on by

Today’s featured game is the Italian Serie B match between Empoli and Ascoli. Hosts Empoli were amongst the pre-season favourites to achieve promotion to Serie A this season and have partially indicated why in their present campaign. Their away form is their biggest problem as they’ve failed to win in five away games, losing three times and scoring just one goal along the way. However, at home, Empoli look every bit a Serie A side in the making with four wins from four games. Nobody has scored more than them at home in Serie B and their average of nearly three goals per home game is a daunting statistic for any away side. Empoli carry a decent amount of momentum into this game as they’re unbeaten in three games and they know that they’ve won this exact fixture for the last two seasons running now, each win by a goal margin of at least three goals. Visitors Ascoli aren’t much of an away side despite their unbeaten start to this season on the road. They’ve currently played four away games, won once and drawn three times. Last season was a much better indication of Ascoli’s actual ability on the road as just four teams lost more away games than they did and two of those sides ended up being relegated to Serie C! To put it bluntly; Ascoli aren’t playing well per se – they’re just making themselves hard to beat. I’ll give credit where it’s due but no wins in five games leaves Ascoli looking a little exposed and perhaps ready to taste their first away defeat of the season at the fortress that Empoli call Stadio Carlo Castellani. Had Ascoli not remained unbeaten on the road so far this season then I’d expect to see lower odds but as it happens, fortune appears to have favoured us by granting us odds of 4/5 so I thoroughly recommend taking them whilst they’re worth it!

Saturday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Empoli vs Ascoli - home win at 4/5 – see introduction for full details.

Racing Club Avellaneda vs Lanus – away win at 7/5. Hosts Racing Club Avellaneda are enduring a torrid time in the Primera Division at the moment. Claiming a third-bottom place in the table, Racing Club Avellaneda have shown little desire to get out of that position as they’ve now lost four consecutive games and yet again are leaking too many goals and not scoring enough. Currently the only winless side in the Primera Division, Racing Club Avellaneda’s fortunes don’t look likely to improve as they host a rejuvenated Lanus with the visitors unbeaten in their last four games. My only concern for Lanus in this game is that they’ve only one won of their last four unbeaten games, which tells me they’re not playing their games efficiently enough, although they’re a good deal better than they were at the start of the season. Still, today looks as good a day as any to amend their record. We also have to bear in mind that Lanus are one of just four sides in the Primera Division that have yet to lose a game away from home, too. With all of the above in mind, it’s difficult for me to look beyond the away win for Lanus at 7/5.

Neman Grodno vs Shakhtyor Soligorsk – away win at 3/4. Despite losing their last match at home to champions BATE Borisov, Shakhtyor Soligorsk still remain in the hunt for a European place in next season’s competition. They’re also back to the place where they do what they do best – away from home. It’s hard to look beyond a Shakhtyor Soligorsk away win not only because you know they’re the better side but also because only BATE Borisov have won more (or even matched) Shakhtyor Soligorsk this season. With six wins from eleven away games, accumulating just two defeats along the way, it becomes more than apparent how potent Shakhtyor Soligorsk actually are on the road. They’ve won two of their last three games and today travel to a woeful Neman Grodno that have lost five from their last six games and haven’t won a game in their last eight. The hosts are short on morale and are hosting a better side, which immediately places the hosts in an awkward position. With all this in mind, the away win at 3/4 starts to look very promising indeed.

Deportes Tolima vs Deportivo Pereira – home win at 10/11. It’s taken far too long for Deportes Tolima to awaken in this campaign but at last they’ve done so with zero defeats in their last six games and by winning their last two games consecutively. The hosts are aiming to secure their place in the last eight earlier rather than later and appear in good stead to do so. Visitors Deportivo Pereira have also been playing well lately and are also unbeaten in their last four games. That said, however, they’re still winless on the road this season which indicates how much they struggle away from home. Against a rejuvenated and very much in-form Deportes Tolima, it’s hard to see Deportivo Pereira taking anything off their superior opponents so the home win at 10/11 looks good value to me.

Istra 1961 vs Sibenik – away win at 6/4. Crazy odds! Newly-promoted Istra 1961 are now without a win in five games and have lost three of those games too. They’ve managed just two wins in eleven games and find goalscoring much harder than they do conceding goals. Sibenik might not be the best of away sides on a general level but you can be forgiven for being swayed by their current excellent away form. Why? Well, nobody has won as many games on the road this season as Sibenik, and that includes giants Dinamo Zagreb. Sibenik have won four times, drawn once, and lost one in their six away games this season. Their biggest strength is not conceding many goals, which is handy when you consider that they don’t appear fond of goalscoring. However, three wins in four games indicates just how in-form Sibenik currently are and that really should be enough to see the away win occur here at 6/4.

Slovacko vs Kladno – home win at 10/11. After finally managing to end their winless drought last match, Slovacko enter this game brimming with confidence, particularly as they know that they can at least match Kladno on their day and will be eyeing up three points hungrily. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be surprised if Slovacko stay in the Gambrinus Liga this year but I’ll be even more surprised if it’s not Kladno who are going down with them. The visitors were on an excellent run but a defeat and a draw in their last two games will have affected their confidence so their heads will have dropped, which ultimately leads to poorer performances. For me, although it should be a close call, the home win at 10/11 does indicate some value in the home win.

Teplice vs Mlada Boleslav – home win at evens. League leaders Teplice today entertain Mlada Boleslav with the knowledge that nobody has scored more Gambrinus Liga goals this season than Teplice and also the fact that they’re unbeaten does much to impress. Having just conceded one goal at home so far this season, Teplice have managed to win three of their five home games, drawing the other two. Four wins in their last fives games gives Teplice all the momentum they need to win this game and it looks unlikely that an out-of-form Mlada Boleslav will contribute much in the way of opposition today. Why? Well, they’ve won just once in their last five games, losing twice and drawing twice. They’ve lost three from five away games so far this season and generally look prone to not turning up. For me, taking evens on the home win bears significant value in this game today!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Aston Villa – away win at 11/10. After an impressive 2-1 win against Chelsea, Aston Villa enter this game with renewed vigour and purpose and face local rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers in a game that the away side know they need to win to maintain their momentum. There’s no doubt that Aston Villa have the quality to do so, too, although their defensive mishaps need to cease as it won’t be too long before errors start costing them a lot of points. Wolverhampton Wanderers have played some tenacious football this season but the fact remains that they’ve lost two of their last three games, drawing the other. The hosts simply don’t score enough goals and against a free-flowing side like Aston Villa, this kind of record can prove fatal. For me, the away win at 11/1o has some good value in it today.

Derby County vs Queens Park Rangers – away win at 8/5. Queens Park Rangers have really caught my eye lately with three wins in their last five games. Only three sides in the Championship have scored more goals than Queens Park Rangers have so far this season as the visitors seek to finally prove that they’re not just a rich club but also a talented club. Hosts Derby County get from bad to worse whenever I see them with two defeats in their last four games. The hosts are only playing well at home but I still think Queens Park Rangers simply have too much firepower and too many alternatives to not win this game so the away win at 8/5 looks good value to me.

Stade Rennais vs Montpellier HSC - home win at 4/5. Although having been poor lately, Stade Rennais will be looking to recapture some form today against high-flying Montpellier HSC. The hosts haven’t won in three games, losing two games and drawing the other. That said, I still rate Stade Rennais’ attack as one of the best in the country so it’s only a matter of time before they nip it in the bud. Visitors Montpellier HSC are drastically over-achieving and although I respect them immensely for the tremendous form they currently boast, the fact remains that they’re punching above their weight and I fully expect to see that indicated in tonight’s game by a very strong Stade Rennais with a home win at 4/5.

Jaguares vs Santos Laguna – away win at 17/10. This one’s a bit of a no-brainer for me, which leaves me stumped as to why the odds are so good but whatever! Visitors Santos Laguna are unbeaten in their last five games, winning four and drawing the other. They’ve played some great football of late and don’t appear to miss Ecuadorian striker Christian Benitez one iota at the present time! Only Morelia have scored more goals than Santos Laguna in the Mexican Primera Division, which is largely why Santos Laguna are doing so well – efficient goalscoring. I rate hosts Jaguares amongst the worst sides in the Mexican Primera Division and their placing at the bottom of their group does much to further my point. Although they’ve won two of their last three games, there still appears to be a real quality mis-match in favour of the away side so taking a Santos Laguna win at 17/10 could prove to be a real bargain tonight.

GKS Belchatow vs Polonia Warsaw – home win at 5/6. Hosts GKS Belchatow are now unbeaten in five games, winning a highly impressive four games along the way. The hosts look to be getting back to their best form, something that I feel was produced a few seasons ago when GKS Belchatow were able to compete in the UEFA Cup. Three wins in five home games coupled with just one defeat shows that GKS Belchatow mean business so it’s already more than apparent for a troubled Polonia Warsaw that they’re going to have to work to get anything here. With recent trouble about unpaid player wages, Polonia Warsaw’s last desire is to travel to a talented and in-form side, particularly as they boast the unenviable record of three defeats, one draw and just one win as their away record this season. To somehow make matters even worse for the visitors, they’re still missing a whole host of players for this game – key defender Jodlowiec, captain Mynar (another defender), strikers Ivanovski and Nikolic, and four midfielders – Maka, Koziol, Piatek, and Sarvas. When you consider that GKS Belchatow are missing just Cetnarski for this game, you really have to favour a home win in this game for various reasons, although it is worth pointing out that Cetnarski is a key player for GKS Belchatow – I just don’t feel it affects the scales too drastically with all of the above in mind. Therefore, a home win at 5/6 looks a real bargain today!

Pandurii Targu Jiu vs Unirea Urziceni – away win at 13/10. After the unflattering 4-1 away victory against Rangers in the UEFA Champions League, Unirea Urziceni return to their domestic campaign with renewed vigour and innovation. Their form lately has been patchy but they’ll be keen to make amends and their momentum gives them all the requirements they need to beat a resilient but relatively average Pandurii Targu Jiu tonight. The hosts started this season well but are currently without a win in their last four games, drawing twice and losing twice. The home form of Pandurii Targu Jiu’s is much like the away form of Unirea Urziceni – inconclusive! So today I’m going to side with momentum and call the away win at 13/10. I don’t need to remind you all that this call does have an element of risk so do approach with caution!

Grasshoppers Zurich vs Young Boys Bern – away win at 17/20. The wonderful Young Boys Bern finally return to my radar after a couple of weeks off with the international break and Swiss Cup games. The impressive league leaders taken on fallen giants Grasshoppers Zurich away from home with the hosts on an impressive three-game unbeaten run which has seen them win twice and draw once. However, today they host a very good Young Boys Bern side indeed, something that’s strongly indicated by the fact that the visitors have won ten from twelve games so far this season and average nearly three goals per game currently. Young Boys Bern have better players, are in better form, and enter this game with a lot of momentum so the away win at 17/20 looks something of a bargain today as there’s a real quality mis-match on show.

Yverdon Sport vs Lugano – away win at 11/10. Five wins from five away games says that Lugano are more than determined to enter the Super League after only just missing out last year. The Challenge League leaders have won three from their last four games and can’t remember what it feels like to taste defeat as it’s been so long since it last occurred. With an average of over three goals per game, Lugano are the top goalscorers in the division and look a frightening opponent for any side in this division. Hosts Yverdon Sport have had a decent start to their season, particularly at home where they’ve won three from five games. However, two consecutive defeats will have done them damage mentally and that’s no way to be entering a game with promotion favouries Lugano. For me, there’s serious value in the away win at 11/10 today.

Porthmadog vs Aberyswyth Town - away win at 4/5. Hosts Porthmadog are the only side left in the Welsh Premier League that are yet to win a game. With eight games played and their last five having been lost consecutively, it’s not hard to see just why they’re bottom of the table without a win. They’ve managed to score a measly three goals in eight games, conceding over two per game on average. Everything that can go wrong is going wrong for them at the moment and I’d frankly be happy taking anyone to beat them at the moment. Visitors Aberystwyth Town have made a slow start but are finally gaining momentum with three wins in their last four games. They’re currently sixth in the Premier League table and also currently boast the best away record in the division with three wins and one draw from their four away games. In fact, Aberystwyth Town are interestingly the only side left in their division yet to lose away from home. To say the visitors are in good form is an understatement as they look a potent threat to just about every side they face at the moment. For me, this is something of a no-brainer away win at 4/5.
