Empoli vs Ascoli

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.

SV Ried vs LASK Linz

Today’s featured game is the Austrian Bundesliga match between SV Ried and LASK Linz. I couldn’t have been happier to see the slow start that SV Ried have had to this campaign because I know how good they are at home and had hoped the bookies would read too much into it, which they happily have! SV Ried have played three home games this season, winning once, drawing once, and losing once. Nothing spectacular, no? Wrong! Those three games were against Salzburg, Rapid Vienna and Sturm Graz respectively, three sides that have finished above SV Ried since about 104BC! Those three sides are part of the big four in Austria along with Austria Vienna and SV Ried are always the side just outside that group that occasionally threatens to become part of it. I’m impressed that they’ve only lost one of those games, really! That said, SV Ried’s home form last season saw them lose a grand total of zero games in the Bundesliga, so perhaps it could be pessimistically viewed as a bad start. Honestly though, SV Ried’s home record is phenomenal, generally. For instance, last season they won a massive fourteen out of eighteen home games, a record bettered only by eventual Bundesliga winners Salzburg. Frankly, they’re a terrifying team at home for all sides in the Bundesliga and I think LASK Linz could well be taught a lesson today. After all, they’ve not even scored against SV Ried in their last three meetings at either ground, losing on all three occasions. They’ve lost here for three seasons out of four, drawing the other. I think this is one of those beautiful little occasions where form doesn’t tell half the story. LASK Linz have won three games in five, losing just once but note that they’ve not won any away from home – that’s because they’re poor travellers. SV Ried haven’t won in five games but if you look at who they’ve played, that’s more than understandable for the most part. For me, the bookies have criminally underestimated how good SV Ried at home and taking them at evens could be a fantastic bet today.

Sunday’s Picks

My tips:

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

SV Ried vs LASK Linz – home win at evens – see introduction for full details.

Naftan Novopolotsk vs Dinamo Minsk – home win at 2/1. How long have I been waiting for this one?! Giants Dinamo Minsk travel to Naftan Novopolotsk with the knowledge that only their ability to draw away games rather than lose them keeps them above Naftan Novopolotsk because these are two of the strongest home sides in the Vysshaya Liga. Seven wins in ten home games says that Naftan Novopolotsk are going to make Dinamo Minsk work very hard to get anything here. True, Dinamo Minsk have only lost one away game this season but they’ve only won three in ten attempts so it may be worthwhile laying the visitors if the odds are good enough. For me though, I’m going to stick my neck out and call the home win at 2/1. Naftan Novopolotsk are bloody good at home and a win would give them a great chance of achieving European football again next year. Dinamo Minsk will want to secure second place but it’s unlikely they’re going to move one way or the other, frankly. Summarised, taking the home win at 2/1 could well be a very good bet today.

Minior Pernik vs Litex Lovech – away win at 5/6. This appears to be another case of the bookies taking too much notice of form and not enough of quality. Minior Pernik have only lost twice in their last five games, winning two and drawing once, but they’re still a poor outfit in comparison to giants Litex Lovech. Since the installation of new manager Angel Chervenkov, Litex Lovech have discovered their old confidence and ability, winning three games from three. There’s a massive quality gap between these two sides and I’ll be extremely surprised if it doesn’t show by the final whistle. 5/6 on the away win should be something of a banker today!

Kladno vs Bohemians Prague – home win at evens. Despite the obvious shitness of Kladno, they have now won two games from their last two, including one very impressive away win against Sigma Olomouc. Suffice to say that they’re entering this home match with a considerable amount of momentum. Bohemians Prague are a home side at the best of times but they’re not even managing that succesfully this season as they lie second bottom in the league. If you consider that their home form is misfiring then it doesn’t take a genius to work out how badly their away form is at the moment. Yeah, you got it – they’re shocking. They’ve played three away games this season and lost all of them, scoring just one goal in the process. Basically, Bohemians Prague look easy pickings for an in-form Kladno today so I’m taking the home win at evens.

Sigma Olomouc vs Jablonec – away win at 2/1. Sigma Olomouc have got issues. Seriously. Any side that can lose at home to Kladno is going to have real problems against bigger and better sides. Whereas Jablonec aren’t giants, they’re a good side with some fantastic momentum at the moment and will be a stern test for Sigma Olomouc. The hosts haven’t won any of their last five games, losing twice and drawing three times. The visitors have won three from their last five games, their most recent of which was a derby victory over Slovan Liberec. With this in mind, the away win already looked tempting. However, upon checking the head-to-head statistics, I had to stand back in amazement as I discovered that Sigma Olomouc haven’t beaten Jablonec home or away in their last eight attempts! Generally, Jablonec win the home game and draw the away game but they have won the away game just once. Today seems the opportune time for that away win to be recorded again but even if not, if you take the bet with draw no bet then you should be laughing at the end of this game! A woefully out-of-sorts Sigma Olomouc look pure cannon fodder for a rampant Jablonec here so I’m going to go with the straight away win at 2/1.

TP 47 Tornio vs Klubi 04 Helsinki – home win at evens. Klubi 04 Helsinki just can’t gain any form of consistency at the moment which leaves them sliding precariously down the table towards the drop zone at the bottom of the Ykkonen. Fortunately for them, I think the season will end just before they hit the drop zone but nonetheless, this is an alarming slump. They’ve lost three from their last five games and now travel to a resurgent TP 47 Torino. The hosts have now won three consecutive games as they desperately seek to avoid relegation to the Kakkonen. This should be a very tight game with neither side wanting to lose but I can’t look beyond the momentum of TP 47 Tornio today so taking the home win at evens looks a potentially good bet.

FCV vs GBK Kokkola – home win at evens. I’m a little surprised at these odds in the Kakkonen Lokho C game between FCV and GBK Kokkola because the hosts have won two consecutive games now and host a side that has not only won just once on the road this season but a side that has lost no less than six times in their ten away games. Their goalscoring record on the road is feeble with only just over a goal every other game on average. The visitors may have only lost once in their last five games but FCV know how to win at home and they’ve got momentum behind them so taking the home win at evens seems logical and profitable to me.

AEK Athens vs Panathinaikos – away win at 8/5. You have to feel sorry for AEK Athens, don’t you? They’re trying their best to make the Greek Super League have a “big three” but it’s just not happening anymore. Spiralling debts and haphazard consistency has seen it become a “big two” in Greece – Olympiakos Piraeus and Panathinaikos. Olympiakos Piraeus won here 2-1 last week and I’ll be surprised if Panathinaikos don’t repeat that feat too, particularly as they’ve won four out of four league games so far this season, conceding just once along the way. Don’t get me wrong, caution is needed here because it is a rivalry match but in terms of quality, Panathinaikos should walk this game with some considerable ease. I’m content that the bookies still rate AEK Athens as big enough to trouble Olympiakos Piraeus and Panathinaikos because I don’t think they are at all. Away win at 8/5 for me!

Agrotikos Asteras vs Diagoras Rodos – home win at 10/11. This B Ethniki game sees Agrotikos Asteras trying to secure their first win of the season, having lost once and drawn once already. However, today seems the opportune moment for them to win a game as they’re hosting a Diagoras Rodos side that managed just two away wins in their entire of last season’s B Ethniki games, losing eight from seventeen, in fact. The hosts today won an impressive eleven games from seventeen and look set to rely upon their home form again to potentially gain access to the Super League come next season. Nobody conceded less goals at home last season than Agrotikos Asteras, something they’ll be keen to emulate this year, no doubt. In those two games, they may not yet have scored but they’ve only conceded once, which is a promising sign so long as they sort their attacking out. Diagoros Rodos may be unbeaten this season but don’t be deceived – both of their games so far have been at home. I thoroughly expect their woefully inadequate away form to kick in today by losing this match and 10/11 is good odds to see it happen at.

Chievo Verona vs Atalanta Bergamo – home win at 11/10. As much as I like Atalanta Bergamo, I have to go against them today. Not only are they travelling to a Chievo Verona side that are unbeaten in three, but they’re also travelling there as a side with just one point from a potential fifteen. Their problem; goalscoring. One goal in five games isn’t good enough at any level, particularly in the prestigious Serie A. Atalanta Bergamo have lost both away games in this season so far whereas Chievo Verona have started this season as they always do by being hard to beat. The hosts enter this game with considerable momentum having won two of their last three games and also in the knowledge that Atalanta Bergamo have never won here. Although there’s not a particular quality gap to speak of, momentum says Chievo Verona are going to win this game so I’m going to follow them with inviting odds of 11/10.

Lyn Oslo vs Tromso - away win at evens. Although not generally considered a particularly good away side, most things appear to be in Tromso’s favour tonight. They’re travelling to a side that have all but accepted relegation with three consecutive defeats and a ten point gap between them and safety. Visitors Tromso enter this game with no defeats in two games and having managed to claim a very respectable draw at Rosenborg BK mid-week. Generally, Tromso tend to struggle in away games due to the massive distance they have to travel to play one on average but today they’re facing a demoralised side and also have European football in their sights. Having been unfortunate to be knocked out by Spain’s Athletic Club de Bilbao, Tromso will be eager to be back in Europe to right wrongs and also bring in a bit of financial support for the Arctic side. Tromso are a good and capable side and really should have enough to overcome a lowly and lacklustre Lyn Oslo today at evens.

Notodden vs Honefoss - away win at evens. League leaders Honefoss travel to Notodden knowing that they’re just six games away from Tippeligaen football next year. Their recent form has been good – two wins and one draw in their last three games – and they face a very poor Notodden who will have to gain a lot more credible results to stay in the Adeccoligaen for next season. Both sides need the points so it should be an open game and if that is the case then Honefoss will surely rip Notodden apart due to the quality differential between the two sides. Notodden have won just once in five games, losing three of those games along the way. Their home form is decent at best but they’re entertaining what is unanimously the best away side in the Adeccoligaen. For me, this game has away win written all over it so I’m happy to take a slice of this pie at evens!

Terek Grozny vs Lokomotiv Moscow - away win at 7/5. This is a very difficult call indeed, one that I laboured over for some time but I’ve decided to roll with it. Terek Grozny at home are one of the hardest sides you’ll have to play against in an away game. They’re not overly good but rather difficult to play against. Grozny is an intimidating to play your football and it has to be either a world-class side or an in-form side that takes three points from Grozny. Visitors Lokomotiv Moscow are not a world-class side, needless to say, but they are massively in-form. Resurgent Lokomotiv Moscow have club legend Yury Semin to thank for their apparent chance of playing European football next year. The Moscow club are currently fourth in the Premier League with four wins from five games and haven’t been beaten in the league in their last ten outings. Lokomotiv Moscow may have won a meager two away games all season but those two games they’ve won in their last three away games, so don’t write them off over that. It also helps my call that Terek Grozny are really struggling with four defeats in their last five games. Whereas I don’t think relegation is a genuine possibility for them, they do need to be careful and start picking up more points or it could become a much more serious problem for them. Lokomotiv Moscow’s goalscoring record is their biggest problem as they rarely score more than 1-2 goals per game. Terek Grozny’s goals scored at home is a record beaten only by league leaders Rubin Kazan currently so Lokomotiv Moscow really need as strong a display today as they’ve been showing in recent weeks. For me, however, there is value in the away win at 7/5 as there’s a real clash between quality and momentum here.

Osasuna vs Sporting Gijon – home win at 10/11. After a difficult draw mid-week at home to Real Zaragoza, Sporting Gijon have yet another difficult game but this time in the Basque country against Osasuna. Although there’s not masses between them, Osasuna are the better side between these two outfits, especially so when playing at home in Pamplona. Although winless at home this season, Osasuna have performed admiraly in their draw with Villarreal and worked hard in their defeat against in-form Sevilla CF. Osasuna claimed a priceless away win against relegation candidates Real Valladolid mid-week in a heated Northern Spain encounter, a match which will have given them great morale ahead of Sporting Gijon’s visit. The visitors today performed decently against Real Zaragoza mid-week but were passed around quite easily by the visitors. Although they looked more incisive than their opponents, Sporting Gijon looked particularly suspect in their from crosses and set pieces, something Osasuna could exploit, particularly with 184cm striker Walter Pandiani on the field, presuming he starts, that is! I expect a very bitter and heated game today in the Basque country but I think Osasuna just have the advantage so I’m going to take the home win at 10/11.

Deportivo La Coruna vs Villarreal – home win at 7/5. This is quite a risky call but Deportivo La Coruna’s form recently has been good and they’re playing at their formidable fortress – Riazor. Only one side lost less home games than Deportivo La Coruna and that was eventual Primera Liga winners Barcelona, a side who themselves failed to win at Riazor. Today’s visitors Villarreal were humbled 3-0 here last season but that’s when they were a well-organised side under the stewardship of Pellegrini. Ever since talented Ernesto Valverde took over, Villarreal have looked a shadow of their former selves as they’re still seeking their first Primera Liga victory after four games. They’ve managed to score just four goals along the way and have now lost midfield general Marcos Senna through injury. This is the last thing that Villarreal need in a very tricky patch of fixtures, really. Deportivo La Coruna will smell blood on Villarreal at the virtually impregnable Riazor and I really fancy them to win the game. The hosts have won two from six games and whereas they may not be firing on all cylinders just yet, they are averaging two goals per game at the moment and that should really be enough against a goal-shy and out-of-form Villarreal for the home win at 7/5.

Liverpool Montevideo vs Penarol – home win at 7/4. I’m not sure how the bookies rate Liverpool Montevideo at nearly 2/1 for a game they’ve won for two seasons running against a side that they can match on their day but whatever! I suppose it’s fair to say that Penarol are one of the giants of Uruguayan football but they’ve had a mixed start to this campaign with two wins from four games. Hosts Liverpool Montevideo have won three out of their four opening games, all three of which were at home, leaving them with a 100% record. As I mentioned earlier, Liverpool Montevideo have won this fixture for two seasons running and although there’s little in the way of quality between these two sides, I’m not seeing anything from Penarol to convince me otherwise just yet. For those reasons, taking the home win at 7/4 could be a very good bet indeed.
