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.

FC Gomel vs Shakhtyor Soligorsk

As I’ve mentioned on a poll lately, I’m contemplating dumping some leagues and replacing them with others. Well, I’ve now decided what I want to do and it will take effect as of tomorrow.

Leagues being removed:

Montenegrin Prva Crnogorska
Bosnia-Herzegovina Premijer Liga
Maltese Premier League
Moldovan Divizia Nationala
Republic of Macedonia Prva Liga
Northern Irish Premier League
Albanian Kategoria Pare
Israeli Ligat Ha’al

Leagues being added instead:

Spanish Segunda B – Groups 1-4
Finnish Kakkonen – Groups 1-3
Norwegian 2 Divisjon – Groups 1-4

Anyway, today’s featured game is in the Vysshaya Liga and feautres FC Gomel and rejuvenated giants Shakhtyor Soligorsk. Today’s visitors are in fantastic form currently and find themselves third in the table. They’ve won three from their last four games and are unbeaten in their last nine league games. Despite a surprise victory away to Naftan Novopolotsk last match, hosts FC Gomel have only one that won game in their last five games, losing three of them. FC Gomel are hardly a tremendous force at home with some haphazard form but the visitors are tremendous away from home with five wins from eight away games. Quality and form point to the away win and as the odds are evens, I also point to the away win here! Also, some food for thought – FC Gomel haven’t beaten Shakhtyor Soligorsk in their last six attempts and today’s visitors won this fixture last season too.

Sunday’s Picks

My tips:

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

FC Gomel vs Shakhtyor Soligorsk – away win at evens – see introduction for details.

Rapid Vienna vs Salzburg – home win at 5/4. Despite the loss of giant striker Maierhofer, Rapid Vienna are still a very impressive outfit at the current time and will fancy their chances today, particularly after a good draw at bitter rivals Austria Vienna last time out. Rapid Vienna have won both of their home games this season and average just short of five goals per game at home thus far! How about that for a record?! Salzburg have been disappointing performance-wise for me this season. They’re still yet to convince me that they can maintain their Bundesliga crown and if I’m honest, the side they face today is their biggest challenger to the throne. Although this is just one game in the early season, I do feel that we’ll learn a lot about the potential winner of the Bundesliga by viewing the outcome of this game. Anyway, Salzburg managed to lose this game last season and I think Rapid Vienna are even better this season so a home win does look favourable at 5/4. Obviously caution is emphasised due to these two being rivals!

Club Brugge vs Racing Genk – away win with +1.75 handicap at 10/11. Hosts Club Brugge are yet to convince anyone this season with some nervous wins and nervous performances. Today they host a competent and able Racing Genk side. The visitors aren’t playing too well currently as they’re drawing more than they win currently. However, one thing that should be noted is that they’re unbeaten in their last four games. Most interestingly, however, Racing Genk have beaten Club Brugge here for three seasons running now. Ultimately, I can’t see an unconvincing Club Brugge winning this game so taking Racing Genk to win with +1.75 handicap at 11/10 looks a great bet!

Independiente Medellin vs Atletico Nacional de Medellin – home win at 23/20. This is one of the two bloodbath derbies in Colombia tonight so immediately you have to approach with caution. In fact, I’ll be surprised if Colombia still exists after the Medellin and Cali derbies tonight!  However, what can’t be denied is that Independiente Medellin have won three out of three home games in this campaign. That said, visitors Atletico Nacional de Medellin are unbeaten on the road so I expect a very close encounter. However, the hosts won this fixture last season and I think they’ve got just enough to win what should be a pretty violent encounter at 23/20.

Atletico Junior Barranquilla vs Real Cartagena – home win at 4/5. Hosts Atletico Junior Barranquilla enter this game unbeaten in their last three outings, winning two. Their home form is untouchable with four wins from four games as they entertain a meager Real Cartagena side that have won just once in their last five games, losing their last game. All in all, a home win looks imminent here at 4/5 with the hosts boasting the better squad and better form.

Kladno vs Brno – away win at evens. Kladno simply have to be favourites for relegation from the Gambrinus Liga with their atrocious form and leaky defence. Visitors Brno have made a rampant start to their campaign and find themselves fourth in the table currently with three wins in six games and just one defeat. Brno are unbeaten on the road but their biggest handicap is that they struggle to score goals. However, against a poor Kladno side, this really shouldn’t be an issue. Kladno have claimed just one point all season and have now lost five games consecutively. With all this in mind, a Brno victory at evens looks a good bet.

Slovacko vs Teplice – away win at 13/8. After an impressive win against Brno, Teplice will have some good morale as that win means they’re still unbeaten in the league this season and they’re the biggest goalscorers away from home so far. Three wins in four games says that Teplice have the momenum to beat a poor Slovacko side here. The hosts won’t make it easy and have a pretty good home record but the visitors have too much quality and experience to overcome Slovacko today. An away win at 13/8 could be a very good bet indeed today.

Silkeborg vs SonderjyskE – home win at 5/6. Hosts Silkeborg have made a puzzling start to the season with nobody really knowing what they can or can’t do on a consistent basis. However, they’re unbeaten in their last two games, they won their last outing and their home record shows that they’ve won two games from three and score an average of three goals per game at home. What convinced me that this game would be a home win even moreso, however, was the fact that SonderjyskE have lost all three away games this season and really struggle to score on the road. This game should be a tight one but a home win looks fairly imminent at 5/6.

Thisted vs Kolding – home win at 4/5. The momentum taken from last match’s victory at Braband will give Thisted a very good shout of beating Kolding, a side in almost identical form to Braband i.e. no form at all! The visitors look destined for the division below and a roused Thisted aren’t the kind of side that Kolding should be able to trouble so a home win at 4/5 should be profitable.

KuPS Kuopio vs Haka Valkeakoski – home win with draw no bet odds of 6/5. This is a risky call but one I like the look of. Haka Valkeakoski have overachieved all season, as we’re all aware, but they’re just not turning up lately. They’ve drawn three games in a row and haven’t won in their last six Veikkausliiga games. Hosts KuPS Kuopio are still firmly rooted to the bottom of the table but have been playing some good football lately. Despite having lost their last game, they’d previously won two and drawn two games so they’re not cannon fodder at the moment. Visitors Haka Valkeakoski have pretty much said farewell to any hopes of a Veikkausliiga challenge but KuPS Kuopio still have a very real chance of avoiding relegation. The three points are there for the taking and with the hosts having the extra impetus to win this game against a demoralised and out-of-sorts Haka Valkeakoski, the home win with draw no bet odds of 6/5 looks pretty inviting!

FC Kiisto Vaasa vs PK 35 Helsinki – away win at evens. This is pretty much one of the no-brainers! Kiisto Vaasa have sank like a rock in a stream with five defeats in five games. They have a really tough time scoring goals which is obviously the catalyst to their poor form. Visitors PK 35 Helsinki are a decent side and have enough to win this game, particularly as their away form indicates that they’ve won four times so a victory against the bottom side should be fairly straightforward. Neither side is big on scoring goals so it should be a fairly low-key affair but an away win looks a good bet at evens.

Viikingit Helsinki vs KPV Kokkola – home win at 3/4. This is quite a risky call between two big sides in the Ykkonen but league leaders Viikingit Helsinki have the edge, in my opinion. They’ve won seven from ten home games with just one defeat at home this season and almost never concede here. KPV Kokkola, however, are the best away side in the Ykkonen so this should be quite a tense and testing affair. Dominating home form and three consecutive wins says that Viikingit Helsinki have enough to win this game and one win in four games (including two defeats) says that KPV Kokkola have a good chance of losing this game. Football in the Veikkausliiga next season looks a lot more likely for Viikingit Helsinki if they win this this game so a home win at 3/4 looks intriguing!

FSV Frankfurt vs St. Pauli – away win at 11/10. These odds surprise me! Bottom-placed FSV Frankfurt are without a win this season. In fact, they’ve claimed just one point from a possible twelve and now host a rampant St. Pauli that average scoring over three goals per game currently. They’ve won three from their opening four games, they’re still unbeaten and find themselve second-placed in the table. Frankly, the away win here looks pretty straightforward and 11/10 is some bloody good odds to see it happen at!

Union Berlin vs Paderborn – home win at 4/5. In this battle of two newly-promoted sides, it’s Union Berlin who have the upper hand with their form showing that they’re still unbeaten in the Bundesliga 2 with three wins and one draw from four games. Impressively, they’ve conceded just once in their current campaign but their problem is that they don’t score enough goals so on the days where they don’t show up, they’re not going to win. However, those days aren’t here yet so I’m prepared to ride the wave as they take on a Paderborn side that have won just once in four games. The visitors don’t enjoy scoring or conceding goals so I’m expecting a pretty dour encounter. However, momentum says a low-scoring home win is on the cards and 5/6 is a decent set of odds to see it occur at.

Asteras Tripolis vs PAOK Salonika - away win at 21/20. I’m expecting a good display this season from PAOK Salonika and their opening day demolition of Levadiakos did much to back up my theory. Today they face another side expected to battle against relegation this season – Asteras Tripolis. The hosts are unbeaten in their two games this season but they’re facing a very good PAOK Salonika today. I don’t expect a whitewash but the away win looks likely at 21/20, particularly with the quality available to them.

Genoa vs SSC Napoli – over 2.5 goals at 10/11, home win at evens. Genoa have already proven to Serie A that they mean business this season as much as they did last season. They’ve beaten what was an impressive AS Roma side at home 3-2 already and won a difficult away game against Atalanta Bergamo so boast an impressive 100% record thus far. SSC Napoli are one of the sides expected to do well this year and with the players available to them, I’d have to agree. However, they’ve won one and lost one already this season and they know the trip to Genoa is a tough one. The fundamental playing style of each side is to score goals so over 2.5 goals at 10/11 looks a really good bet and just ousts another quality bet of the home win at evens.

Stabaek vs Rosenborg BK – home win at 7/5. Having won this fixture last season, Stabaek will be licking their lips ahead of this juicy clash with league leaders Rosenborg BK. The visitors are unbeaten in the Tippeligaen this season, which is highly impressive, but Stabaek at home really make their ground a fortress as most sides in the Tippeligaen can testify! The hosts have won three in their last five games and are unbeaten on that run too. Rosenborg BK have won four from their last five games too so we should see a fantastic game of football here tonight. It’s a dubious call, but Stabaek are good enough at home to win this game at 7/5 and I can’t help but feel that Rosenborg BK may just take their foot off the pedal a little because they’ve all but won the Tippeligaen already, barring a miracle.

Gaz Metan Medias vs Steaua Bucharest - away win at 4/5. Despite a mixed start to their season, Steaua Bucharest are still head and shoudlers above Gaz Metan Medias and should make it count today. The visitors haven’t won at home yet this season in the Romanian Liga but they have won both of their away games, which bodes ominously for little Gaz Metan Medias. The hosts also boast a mixed start to the season but they don’t really have the quality to match their more illustrious opponents today so the away win at 4/5 looks a good bet.

Spartak Nalchik vs Lokomotiv Moscow - away win at 11/10. Lokomotiv Moscow have looked a new side under legend Yuri Semin and find themselves fifth in the table with four wins in five games, leaving them unbeaten on that run. They’re travelling to relegation-battling Spartak Nalchik who have notched up a couple of wins themselves in their last two games but they’re facing a very difficult opponent today that have their eyes firmly set upon a European place. I anticipate a closely-fought game but the visitors have so much more quality available to them and more consistency under their belt that I cannot see beyond an away win at 11/10.

Hamilton Academicals vs Hibernians – away win at 10/11. I don’t like betting on away wins in Scotland because their football is pretty damn poor but I couldn’t resist this one today given Hamilton Academicals’ abysmal run of form that sees them without a win in three games now and sat bottom of the table with zero points. They’ve managed just one goal so far this season but have conceded a concerning ten goals, which is an average of over three per game. Hibernians tasted defeat for the first time this season last match but had won their previous two games so they’re gradually getting into their stride. The visitors have a better side and more form on a general level so should be able to overcome their weaker opponents at 10/11 so the away win looks to be an interesting bet.

Deportivo La Coruna vs Malaga – home win at 5/6. Despite shocking Atletico Madrid by winning 3-0 on the opening day of the season, I’m not convinced. Malaga still have a lot of issues with their goings-on over the summer and now travel to a very organised Deportivo La Coruna and face the daunting task of taking a result away from the Riazor, something most sides don’t manage to do. As Deportivo La Coruna indicated in their opening game at the Santiago Bernabeu, they know how to find the net. They were unfortunate to lose that game but I feel very strongly that they’ll gain the win today against a weaker Malaga side that are certainly due a reality check after their last performance! I’m surprised the odds on a home win at Riazor are 5/6 but I’ll certainly be taking  them.

Sporting Gijon vs Almeria - home win at 11/8. This is a relatively dubious call but one I do like. Despite the scoreline at Nou Camp reading Barcelona 3 Sporting Gijon 0, the game itself was a different story. The hosts weren’t convincing in their performance but were more clinical in front of goal. Truth be told, Sporting Gijon could and probably should have scored at least once as they had several clear chances in the game. Sporting Gijon are more than capable of carrying their efforts from that game into this game against a weakened Almeria. The visitors didn’t manage to score against a weak Real Valladolid in their opening game despite playing against ten men for 77 minutes of the game. The main reason for this, of course, is that they’ve lost star striker Alvaro Negredo, who was a key member of the side that made Almeria’s home games hard games for all. Without him, they look a shadow of their former selves and they were already a poor away side. Sporting Gijon will be battling relegation again this season so they know this is a vital game that they must win as both of these sides will be in the mix at the end of the season. All this considered, a home win at 11/8 could turn out to be a nice little earner.

Real Valladolid vs Valencia CF – away win at 11/10. I do hate backing Valencia CF to do anything but everything points in their favour at the present time. They’re facing a weak Real Valladolid side that have made some big losses over summer, the most notable of which being wonderkid goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo. They’re generally a decent home side and I wouldn’t expect anything less with them being so close to the Basque country. However, Valencia claimed an impressive 2-0 win over Sevilla CF in their opening game and the momentum from that game should be enough to steer them to victory over Real Valladolid, particularly with their attacking players looking in fine form! 11/10 on the away win could be a valuable bet for this game!

Deportivo Xerez vs Athletic Club de Bilbao – away win at 13/8. I know Athletic Club de Bilbao aren’t the most reliable of away sides in the division, but today they’re facing a weak, demoralised and poor Deportivo Xerez side that are really short of players in terms of actual numbers. Despite putting up a spirited show away to Real Mallorca, they ultimately lost the game and I’m expecting a similar encounter today as they face the tenacious Athletic Club de Bilbao. The visitors have lots of competitive games already under their belts this season and have looked impressive, particularly with the promising Oscar De Marcos, an acquisition from Deportivo Alaves in summer. They dominated the game at home to Espanyol in their first domestic game of the season and throughly deserved to win by more than the 1-0 scoreline it finished. Frankly, I can’t see beyond an away win here so 13/8 looks beyond tempting here! This was a very close second for game of the day, in fact!

Elche vs Salamanca - away win at 2/1. I cannot fathom these odds whatsoever. Elche have done nothing this season other than indicate that they would enjoy being relegated. They’ve lost two games in a row, one of which was an inexplicable home defeat by Huesca and the other was a relatively expected defeat away to Numancia but Elche just can’t get themselves into gear at all. Whereas I don’t class Salamanca as one of the better sides in the division, I do think they’ve got enough to win this game in terms of quality. Form indicates that they’re unbeaten and they’ve won once already so they do have the momentum to win this game too. Their problem is goalscoring currently but with Elche’s leaky defence, you can’t help but feel an away win is on the cards. 2/1 looks almost too good to be true!

Qviding Goteborg vs Mjallby Solvesborg – away win at 10/11. I used to back Mjallby Solvesborg for fun but lately they’ve endured a drought of wins. They’ve not been losing games but prior to their last match, they had drawn four consecutive games. However, their win last match will have give them the morale boost they needed to take those final steps to secure promotion to the Allsvesnkan. I don’t think I need to point out how much better Mjallby Solvesborg are then the majority (if not entirety) of the sides in this division as I’ve harped on about it enough in the past. Today they travel to a very weak Qviding Goteborg side that are without a win in three consecutive games now, losing once in the process. There’s a severe quality mismatch today and the away win looks imminent at 10/11.

Vasalunds vs GIF Sundsvall – away win at 5/6. It seems pointless to write this preview as this scenario is virtually identical to the above preview! Feel free to email me if you think that’s inaccurate but I’d only be repeating myself, really, unless you wish to be really pedantic!

Neuchatel Xamax vs Young Boys Bern – away win at 4/5. After Young Boys Bern made us a good deal of money by winning at Basel last match, it’s hard to see anything other than an away win materialising today. The visitors are simply far too strong for Neuchatel Xamax and are the side I would consider to be the best in Switzerland by some distance. Seven wins in eight games, no defeats, four wins on the road and a whole squad full of quality says that Young Boys Bern will win against Neuchatel Xamax today regardless of the hosts’ excellent start to the season. An away win looks beyond imminent at 4/5!!
