Viktoria Plzen vs Sigma Olomouc

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

Saturday’s Picks

My tips:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sporting Braga vs Porto

Today’s featured game is in the Liga Sagres between Sporting Braga and Porto. Sporting Braga currently sit atop the Liga Sagres with four wins from their opening four games, including a win at Sporting Clube de Lisboa. I find this interesting becase I don’t think Sporting Braga have played well enough to be where they are but nonetheless I give credit to them for some impressive results. I also find it interesting because I think they’ve got a much poorer coach now than the talented Jorge Jesus has moved on to SL Benfica in summer. Effectively, I think Sporting Braga are punching above their weight and are simply waiting to be knocked down. Enter reigning champions Porto! Much like their hosts, Porto are unbeaten in this campaign. However, unlike their hosts, they’ve shown reason as to why they’re one of the top clubs in the Liga Sagres by scoring plenty of goals and conceding very few. Porto will be disappointed to have lost away to Chelsea despite having a few good chances of their own so will be looking to bounce back at Sporting Braga. Although I would classify Sporting Braga as a good side, I still wouldn’t put them anywhere near Porto. The visitors have so much more class and finesse that the hosts simply shouldn’t be able to compete. It’s been that way in this fixture for two years running now; each time Porto has won the game. I think Sporting Braga are due a reality check and Porto look well-placed to be the side that gives them that kick! Frankly, the away win at 11/10 looks a real bargain!

Saturday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Sporting Braga vs Porto – away win at 11/10 – see introduction for full details.

Independiente vs Velez Sarsfeld – away win at 6/4. This is is a bit of a dubious call because Independiente are only ever good at home but Velez Sarsfeld’s form of late has convinced me that they’re more than capable of winning this game. Three wins and one draw from their last four league games and a mid-week victory over Boca Juniors in the Copa Nissan Sudamericana tells me that the visitors today have tremendous morale and momentum. Independiente generally make their home games count because they’re atrocious away from home but this season it’s been rather varied with two wins and two defeats, one of each at home and away from home. Their mixed form leaves me even more confident that a well-organised, efficient and solid Velez Sarsfeld will have no trouble dismantling the hosts tonight, particularly as the hosts find it hard to score goals currently at home and the visitors haven’t conceded any on the road yet this season. It should be quite a tight game but an away win looks favourable at 6/4. 

Independiente de Santa Fe Bogota vs Atletico Junior Barranquilla – home win at 11/10. Assuming that this game actually finishes (i.e. it’s not interrupted by pitch invasions, riots, excessive red cards etc.) then I feel confident it’ll be a home win. Four home wins from four games so far signals the intent of Independiente de Santa Fe Bogota. They’re averaging at least three goals per game at home and look a frightening opponent at the present time. Atletico Junior Barranquilla are a good side and boast an even better home record than Independiente de Santa Fe Bogota but unfortunately own an extremely poor away record. In fact, today’s visitors have lost three times and drawn once on the road this season, making them susceptible cannon fodder for an impressive Independiente de Santa Fe Bogota today. I can’t put it more simply so I’ll simply state that 11/10 on a home win here is an absolute steal!

Aston Villa vs Portsmouth - lay Aston Villa at 15/8. This is a very risky call but I’m going to ride it. Aston Villa simply haven’t got going yet in any competition, something that has already seen them crash out of the Europa League to Austria’s Rapid Vienna. They hustled and bustled their way to three points last match in a local rivalry match with Birmingham City without really deserving the victory. Despite their record showing three straight wins, including a very impressive (but fortunate) win away to Liverpool, I’m just not convinced. I think they’ve been fortunate to win all of these games and although you do need fortune to win games, it shouldn’t be the focal point of your wins for the majority of the time, which it is. I also believe that Aston Villa don’t perform well as the favourites to win a game. My reasoning behind that is because they’re a very counter-attacking side with great pace but little ability to break down resilient defences currently. All that coupled with a supposed bust-up between manager Martin O’Neill and midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker recently (resulting in the player being left out of the squad today) tells me that Aston Villa might not have it all their own way today. Portsmouth have been playing better lately now the issues surrounding their ownership have been resolved. The chairman appears to have restored some clarity regarding Paul Hart’s future at the club and the club have signed many new players just before the deadline to boost their chances of survival. They can count themselves highly unlucky to obtain nothing from the game at home to Bolton Wanderers are a spirited display and a touch of misfortune here and there, particularly with the conceding of a penalty. Portsmouth will be coming here with some belief from their last game and with even more determination to end their woeful run of form and they’ve got the players to cause problems in a shaky Aston Villa defence. Whereas I think this is far from a dead cert, I do think there’s potential value in laying Aston Villa at 15/8.

Middlesbrough vs West Bromwich Albion – home win at 6/5. This was a tough call to make but one I agree with even in retrospect. Both of these sides are playing very good football and gaining very impressive results but there’s only side between these two that are currently playing like a Premiership side would and that’s Middlesbrough. The visitors today are conceding too many goals of late and are often falling behind before taking the lead. I simply don’t believe that can happen today. If they fall behind against Middlesbrough then they’ll be very lucky to get a draw from the game. Middlesbrough are barely conceding and look impressive every time I see them. In my opinion, they boast a better squad currently and have strengthened it with the acquisitions of Irishmen Sean St Ledger and Caleb Folan. This should be a close game and I really think both of these sides will be in the Premier League next year with their current form but current form also just favours Middlesbrough so I expect them to make the home advantage count and inflict West Bromwich Albion’s first defeat of the season with inviting odds of 6/5.

Millwall vs Huddersfield Town – away win at 7/5. With no wins in four games, Millwall look to be at rock-bottom mentally and need to pick themselves up quickly if they’re to have any chance of making themselves a force again. They’ve lost their last two games consecutively but they’re not being battered. In fact, it’s quite the reverse but they simply cannot score! Unfortunately for them, they’re hosting a massively in-form Huddersfield Town that know exactly how to score as they’ve managed it seventeen times in seven games, which is nearly 2.5 goals per game, well above anyone else’s goalscoring tally in the division. Three wins in their past five games and just one defeat says that Huddersfield Town have the form and ability to beat Millwall currently so the away win at 7/5 looks good to me.

Norwich City vs Charlton Athletic - away win at 6/4. Despite a surprising blip at home to Southampton, I fully expect Charlton Athletic to make light work of a mediocre Norwich City today. The hosts may have a new manager that is doing good work behind the scenes but their current form shows no wins in their past two games, including a poor draw at home to out-of-sorts Walsall. They suffered a mid-week defeat by high-flying Milton Keynes Dons despite having taken the lead and look destined for yet another tough clash today, this time with Charlton Athletic. Visitors Charlton Athletic will be keen to get back on track and I can’t see them failing to do so today against a side that are nowhere near as good as they are and don’t have any kind of momentum to oppose them. Therefore, the away win at 6/4 looks good to me.

Wycombe Wanderers vs Milton Keynes Dons – away win at 21/20. Visitors Milton Keynes Dons are unbeaten on the road this season from three games and have conceded just once in those three games. They’ve won four of their last five games and are currently in great shape to beat just about anyone! Happily for them, they’re facing arguably the worst side in the division currently – Wycombe Wanderers. Newly-promoted Wycombe Wanderers are finding life in League One very tough indeed with just one win in their past five games and a virtually permanent place in the relegation zone. They’re conceding far too many goals and this is something that will play into low-scoring Milton Keynes Dons’ hands perfectly as they like their low-scoring victories in a very efficient manner. Basically, these two sides are polar opposites and I expect that to show by the final whistle today with an away win at 21/20.

Crewe Alexandra vs Aldershot Town – home win at 4/5. Crewe Alexandra are beginning to show that they really are a League One side playing in League Two after a shaky start. They’ve won three from their last five games albeit with very little style! Despite Aldershot Town’s lofty perch, they’re not nearly as good as Crewe Alexandra, which immediately sets the precedent as to why I think this game will be a home win. However, the most overwhelming fact that I can give you to support my call is the fact that Aldershot Town are really poor travellers. They’ve already lost two from their three away games this season and managed to lose more away games last season than any other side in the division. If you add the above information together, you have a home win at 4/5 without too much fuss and most likely a rather droll encounter!

Darlington vs Bournemouth – away win at 5/6. It’s a shame to see a good side like Darlington playing so badly but football doesn’t have much room for compassion, only success. The hosts haven’t won any games out of seven attempts so far this season and that looks unlikely to change as they host high-flying Bournemouth. The visitors are currently top of the league and deservedly so after some very impressive displays and a form guide that shows six wins from seven games. Bournemouth are far from prolific but a woeful Darlington side that have scored just three goals in seven games shouldn’t be able to test them on that front and draw more goals out from the south coast side. Bournemouth’s main credential is that they rarely concede and given that the hosts can’t score and momentum favours the visitors, an away win looks clear as daylight to me at 5/6.

Morecambe vs Notts County – away win at 5/6. I’m a little dubious with backing moneybags Notts County are some recently unnerving displays but I’m taking them today because the hosts are an extremely poor opponent. True, they’ve only lost two games from seven, but they’re drawn five and won zero. Morecambe are coping well with the scoring goals side of things – it’s just the “don’t concede more goals than you’ve scored” side that they have to work on. Currently, Morecambe have conceded more goals in this division than anyone else and given that Notts County have scored more goals than anyone else in this campaign and also have a better squad, an away win looks relatively imminent at 5/6.

Grenoble Foot vs Stade Rennais – away win at evens. I think I’m becoming a secret fan of Stade Rennais but I genuinely do enjoy their football and I think you’ll see a sharp rise from them from now on after they got a win under their belt last match. They’re unbeaten so far this season and travel to Grenoble Foot, a side that knows all too well about defeat having lost all five of their games so far, scoring a miserly two goals in the process. They’re showing clear relegation form and without major changes, I can’t see them staying in Ligue 1 this year. Stade Rennais have the style and attacking potency to potentially do an awful lot of damage to little Grenoble Foot and I expect to see at least some of this damage today. Although today’s visitors haven’t won away from home in two attempts this season, you still have to sit back in amazement at the fact that the bookies have given evens on the away win here for a side that are clearly better due to the quality available to them and when considering the momentum of Stade Rennais also. This is one of the best bets today, in my opinion, and it only just missed out on being my featured game of the day!

SSC Napoli vs Udinese - over 2.5 goals at 4/5. There’s no great secret here. Both of these two sides are expected to do well this year and typically neither of them currently are. However, that doesn’t change the fact that both sides have a wealth of attacking options available to them with SSC Napoli having scored in every competitive game they’ve played so far and Udinese averaging over two goals per game currently. As you’d expect from both sides’ league placing, the number of goals conceded by each side is large, some of the largest in Serie A, in fact. Both of these two sides need three points to try and build some momentum and both sides score and concede freely so taking over 2.5 goals at 4/5 looks a bargain.  

Yokohama F Marinos vs Kashima Antlers – home win at 5/2. Out of all the leagues I cover, the J-League is the one that has the most baffling odds sometimes. Yokohama F Marinos are a big Japanese side with a big history. They’re not doing particularly well this season but they’re still a difficult side, particularly at home. Despite just one win in their past five games, Yokohama F Marinos are amongst the biggest goalscorers at home in the whole of the J-League. They’ve won two from their last three home games, drawing the other. Visitors Kashima Antlers are top of the league but their form is very hazy and doesn’t really give them any consistency. As a matter of fact, Kashima Antlers have lost all three of their last three away games. All of this information combined suddenly makes the home win at 5/2 look very interesting indeed, does it not?

Ruch Chorzow vs Cracovia Krakow – home win at 10/11. Taking Ruch Chorzow to win at home at 10/11 could well be one of the best bets of the day. The hosts play good football and have an impressive 100% home record – three wins from three games, five goals scored and none conceded. Visitors Cracovia Krakow are finding Ekstraklasa life very hard and sit just outside the drop zone currently. Although Cracovia Krakow haven’t lost in their last four games, the fact remains that they’ve scored just one away goal this season and that doesn’t look likely to change against an impenetrable Ruch Chorzow defence, particularly with the hosts boasting four wins from their past five games. Everything is pointing to a home win here and I’m more than happy to take it with the above in mind at 10/11.

Saturn Moscow Oblast vs Spartak Moscow – away win at 10/11. Despite a couple of shaky displays against Rubin Kazan and Dinamo Moscow, Spartak Moscow are still a very good side that simply needs a win to get them back on track. A trip to local rivals Saturn Moscow Oblast should be a good hunting ground for them given that Saturn Moscow Oblast took a real beating off reigning champions Rubin Kazan last match, a result that will have really knocked the wind out of them. Although Saturn Moscow Oblast have a good home record, a large number of those games were against sides either not as good as them or on a par with them. Today they face a Spartak Moscow side that are better than them and I expect it to show today as I cannot fathom Valery Karpin allowing his side to go without a win for three games consecutively after such an impressive campaign with the title chase still wide open. I expect a rather open game today as the hosts are hunting a Europa League place but ultimately I think there’s value in the away win at 11/10.

Rostov-na-Donu vs Kuban Krasnodor – home win at 4/5. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that this will be the most boring game of the day. Neither of these two sides can score goals for shit so boring might not even be the word. However, Kuban Krasnodor boast the worst away record in the division with nine defeats from eleven games, drawing the other two. They average conceding over two goals per game away from home and average scoring each time there’s a full moon! Rostov-na-Donu fair a little better than today’s visitors. Although they don’t score many at home (not even one per game on average!), nobody has conceded less goals than Rostov-na-Donu at home this season. Neither side has any consistency to speak of  but the above information on home and away form leaves me in little doubt that this will be anything but a home win at 4/5.

Lokomotiv Moscow vs FK Moscow – home win at evens. Yury Semin sure has got Lokomotiv Moscow doing damage like they used to some time ago! I don’t know how he’s done it, to be honest, but he’s doing it very bloody well! In fact, he’s done it well enough to be able to actually label Lokomotiv Moscow as title challengers, currently! They’ve won four of their last five games, drawing the other. They’re a more prolific than efficient side, which is a trait that Semin brings to most (if not all) of the clubs he manages. They’re the only side in the Russian Premier League to remain unbeaten at home in this campaign and are one of the biggest goalscorers at home, as well as boasting seven wins from eleven home games. Despite an impressive start to their season, FK Moscow are finally beginning to show that they’re actually pretty average at best. It was only a matter of time before their bubble burst but now it has, they could have serious problems, particularly against a very potent Lokomotiv Moscow side. The visitors have won just once in their last five games, losing three times in the process. That kind of form won’t keep them anywhere but on the road down the table whereas their hosts today are on their way up. There’s a mismatch of quality, momentum and form here today so the home win looks a real steal at evens.

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid – over 3.5 goals at evens. I don’t think I need to explain this one, surely? Anyone who knows anything about football knows that these two sides go at it like hammer and tongs each time they meet! Defence ceases to exist and this is backed up by the fact that four out of the past five games between these two sides has resulted in over 3.5 goals. An in-form Barcelona are taking on a disrupted Atletico Madrid so the goals may be a little one-sided but I thoroughly expect success with this bet.

Cordoba vs Celta de Vigo – home win at 6/5. Despite fairly impassive form from both sides so far this season, Celta de Vigo suffered transfer-wise in summer, particularly with the loss of striker Kamel Ghilas to English Premier League side Hull City. The visitors haven’t won a game yet this season and appear destined for a long haul this year. The hosts are in a similar position but have at least won a game this season, which was a home win, unsurpisingly. Why am I making a call on such a tight game then, you ask? Well, there’s not too much between these two sides but one undeniable fact that has swayed me; Cordoba were one of the best home sides in the Segunda Liga last season and will seek to do the exact same this year. Celta de Vigo were one of the worst away sides last year and appear destined to be following the same pattern. It’s all I have to go off but at 6/5, it’s certainly worth a punt.

Rayo Vallecano de Madrid vs Real Union Club de Irun – home win at 3/4. Despite a mixed start to the campaign for Rayo Vallecano de Madrid, you have to fancy them to overcome newly-promoted Basque club Real Union Club de Irun. The visitors have only managed to score once in their first three games and could well be relegated this season if they don’t start improving their performances and goalscoring tendancies. The hosts played well last year and still have a good squad. Is it good enough to take them to the Primera Liga? Possibly, but we’ll see where they are at Christmas. In the meantime, they’re playing a side with half the ability of them and on their own ground. In my eyes, 3/4 on a home win is a no-brainer.

Dnipro Dnepropetrovsk vs Karpaty Lviv – lay Dnipro Dnepropetrovsk at 13/10. This is a very risky call but I tend to find that bookies overrate Dnipro Dnepropetrovsk far too much when you consider how often they don’t manage to win at home when the bookies expect them to. Don’t get me wrong, they rarely lose at home, but they just don’t win as often as they should, which is largely attributed to the fact that they don’t like scoring goals. Today they host a Karpaty Lviv side that have impressed me this year with some good displays. They’ve got a good squad and taking on a Dnipro Dnepropetrovsk side that aren’t firing on all cylinders yet so early in the season makes me think that the visitors might just be able to steal a result today, particularly as they’ve only been beaten once in their last five games. As I said, this is a risky call but I can see value in laying Dnipro Dnepropetrovsk at 13/10.
