Today’s featured game is the Ligue 2 encounter between Stade Lavallois and Metz. It’s not often I find value in this league but hopefully that will prove to be the case tonight! Both sides are expected to be amongst the sides fighting for promotion this season but I feel that only Laval will be as you’ll see below.

The only reason Laval weren’t able to be promoted last season was that they didn’t win enough home games, which is probably why the odds are as generous as they are. They only suffered three defeats in nineteen games but when coupled with just six wins along the way, the record doesn’t look as good. You could argue that Laval didn’t score enough goals on a consistent basis or that they conceded too easily when compared to their supposed contemporaries. However, my own personal belief is that they succumbed in games that were important to the club i.e. their 3-3 draw at home to Metz last season when they should have been more composed and won the game. So – have Laval resolved that problem since last year? Not in my eyes, no. They have strengthened their squad with a couple of relatively unknown players (i.e. Chad striker Labbro and former Plabennec striker Crehin) to try to solve the problem so we’ll see what affect they have. They’ve also acquired Frederic Mendy from Bastia and he’s an experienced midfielder so should add to their squad. All in all, I’m expecting a similar campaign from Laval but if they make more of their home games then they could find themselves in Ligue 1 next season.

My interest for this bet lies largely with Metz, however. Why? Well, Metz have had a cataclysmic summer and find themselves in a financial ruin and have thus parted with some important players like defender Vivian, midfielders Rocchi, Johansen, Cardy, and Pied, not to mention striker Mendy! That means that now both Cisse and Mendy have left Metz so who will bail out this fairly impotent Metz side? Metz don’t travel well as it is but how is that record going to improve without someone to score the goals for them? Metz still have a decent enough side to hold their own part of the time but their squad is so thin on the ground and lacking in goals that I can’t take them seriously this year. I expected them to struggle at home to Evian in the first game, which is why I called a draw, but I didn’t think they’d lose 2-0. Metz have a lot of problems at the moment and I don’t think a difficult Laval side is the best to face with that in mind.

The last two meetings between these two sides have ended 3-3 at Laval and 3-2 to Metz at Metz so both sides tend to play out a good game. However, with Metz short on goalscorers and Laval having remained fairly constant since last year, I have to favour the hosts tonight, especially with such generous odds on show.

Verdict: Stade Lavallois to win at 27/20.

Friday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Colon de Santa Fe vs Banfield – away win with draw no bet at 7/4.

One look at the head-to-head records will show just why this is easily my riskiest call of the day so far but I still have faith in the selection. Why? Well, two reasons really. I have a lot of time for Colon de Santa Fe; I think they’re a good side. They’ve made some good signings over the transfer window and should be a threat this season. However, their draw at Quilmes last match after an unpolished display left me wondering how long it’s going to take this side to gel. The loss of Nieto to Atletico Paranaense in the transfer window leaves just one-half of their lethal duo still entact, which is thirty-seven year old striker Esteban Fuertes. Colon have brought in players to replace Nieto but I just don’t see that atypical “united front” effort from Colon at the moment and think this type of game may have come too soon for them. Banfield bring the same squad that they had last year into this game although with a further year’s experience so they should be a title threat year again. They weren’t at their best at home to newly-promoted Olimpo last match but still held their cool as usual to come from behind and glide to victory without really having to get out of second gear after a particularly abject display from the newcomers. Banfield are marginally the better of these two sides, in my opinion, and although they don’t travel well as a rule, I think they’ve got a chance to change that tonight. Head-to-heads drastically favour the hosts so do approach with caution but odds of 7/4 on the away win with draw no bet look good enough to take a chance on tonight.

Verdict: Banfield to win with draw no bet at 7/4.

Audax Italiano vs Union San Felipe – home win at 5/6.

Audax Italiano have really turned a corner since appointing Labruna as boss nine games ago and are actually unbeaten since then. It’s a difficult job to coach Audax Italiano because of their fans and their players. Basically, they don’t want to follow any kind of tactics whatsoever. This side is the most exciting side in Chile because they don’t defend at any point in any game; they simply attack from start to finish which is why they score and concede so many goals. They’ve got a poor home record in the Primera A this year because they leak goals too easily but Labruna has given them a lease of life again with four consecutive home wins since taking over. Mauro Olivi in attak is responsible for most of Audax Italiano’s damage and is pretty instrumental to their attacks although I won’t be losing sleep if he’s missing – Audax attack with or without strikers! Audax have scored twelve goals in their last three games to give you some idea of how potent they are and also won this fixture away from home already this season so don’t be fooled by their misleading home record so far this year – they’re a very good side indeed. Union San Felipe have punched above their weight this season by defending in a shrewd and calculated manner. However, they’ve still lost five out of nine away games this season with an average of just over a goal scored per away game. Whether San Felipe turn up or not tonight, the massive momentum of Audax says they definitely well and to stop them at the moment you need to score at least three goals, something San Felipe frankly aren’t capable of. The odds on the home win could and should be much shorter than 5/6 – it’s only the misleading statistics of the season thus far for Audax that has them as long as they are so the home win looks something of a gift in this game tonight although I’ll warn you now – this game isn’t for the faint-hearted (if you want to watch it, of course!).

Verdict: Audax Italiano to win at 5/6.

Hrvatski Dragovoljac vs Istra 1961 – home win at 6/5.

The Prva Liga table after three games would have you believe that this is a clash between the two worst sides in Croatia at the moment but I don’t wholly agree with that. Istra 1961 have ridden their luck for some time in this division and I think the time has come for them to finally be relegated this season following a disappointing summer with little money and nobody to drag them out of the mire that they’re always in. Their form so far this season shows that with an average of three goals conceded per game and just one goal scored so I think Istra 1961 are more than capable of losing against anyone in this league with their impotence playing a huge role in that opinion. Hrvatski Dragovoljac, however, I feel have been a little unlucky. They’re new to the division and have had a baptism of fire with away games against giants Dinamo Zagreb and Rijeka, losing both comfortably as you’d expect from 80% of the Prva Liga sides. They lost 1-0 at home to Lokomotiva Zagreb but to be fair, the hosts dominated the game and only a late goal for the visitors won them the game. I won’t deny that the newly-promoted hosts aren’t a great side by any stretch of the imagination. However, they’re a better side than Istra 1961 and whilst they do have issues with goalscoring themselves at the moment, they at least look like they’re going to score, unlike Istra 1961. This should be a close and low-scoring affair but I think the odds on a Hrvatski Dragovoljac win are a little too generous here to be overlooked.

Verdict: Hrvatski Dragovoljac to win at 6/5.

Marila Pribram vs Sparta Prague – over 2.5 goals at 5/4.

This is a risky call that goes against my natural instinct regarding Pribram as an unders side but there is method to the madness, more commonly known as Tomas Repka. I’m sure the majority of you are familiar with the Czech hitman centre-back who has earned a reputation over the years as a complete wanker solid and dependable defender. He’s ageing a lot now but he holds the Sparta Prague defence together and without him, they look rather vulnerable. Well, good news everyone – he misses this game through suspension following an uncharacteristic incident against Slovacko whereby he felt it necessary to show his love for Volesak by spitting on him. This is the final game of his ban (unless the Czech FA extend it) and Chovanec will be keen to have him back in the Sparta side, particularly as he’s already confessed that this will be a difficult game for Sparta. They’ve struggled at Pribram in the last couple of years because of the defensive tactics of the hosts. However, Sparta’s 4-0 win against Banik Ostrava mid-week gives them momentum to take into this game. They’ve increased their creativity with the capture of experienced midfielder Vachousek on a six-month loan deal from Teplice (which fucks Teplice up a little bit more!) and with their potency looking strong at the moment, I fancy them to shatter a stiff Pribram resolve. Pribram are no mugs and will line up defensively here but I feel an early goal for either side could really liven this game up. Sparta have the goals in them and Pribram are solid enough at home to score at least once, particularly against a Sparta side missing Repka. Incidentally, Sparta also miss Vacek, Husek, and Kusnira for this game although none of those are recent news anyway.

So rather than back the obvious away win at what I can only describe as short odds, I’d much rather take the more elusive and risky over 2.5 goals call. My calculations do include a Pribram goal so approach with caution but a Sparta side without Repka can concede against anyone so I think over 2.5 goals today is an interesting but potentially good value selection.

Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at 5/4.

JJK Jyvaskyla vs KuPS Kuopio – away win at 31/20.

This looks like a really obvious away by the statistics and in the Veikkausliiga, that’s never good news. In fact, the mere thought of how much the statistics back up my selection actually terrifies me! However, I’ll give it a shot as there should be value here…

First of all, JJK’s home record in the Veikkausliiga this season doesn’t reflect them at all. They’re not a great side; they’re a battling side and they don’t normally lose at home. However, moving to a new stadium placed some kind of bizarre curse on them and they lost their first four matches of the season without even scoring a goal. A 6-1 thrashing of AC Oulu temporarily removed the curse but it was restored with back-to-back defeats against VPS Vaasa and Tampere United, which again, JJK didn’t score in. They claimed a 1-1 draw at home to MyPa Anjalankoski last match, which is only the second game they’ve scored in at home this season so I can’t imagine them being too down-hearted for this game. Nonetheless, they do bring an atrocious record into this match because they’re not scoring goals and I can’t help but feel that it stems from South Korean striker Ik-Kyung Nam’s departure at the start of the season as he moved to Haka Valkeakoski. He had a terrific debut season for JJK and although his strike partner Lahtinen has remained at JJK, JJK have struggled to find a regular replacement for Nam with Kari and new signings Linjala and Hyyrynen both really failing to fill the void despite contributing with goals this season. Ultimately, JJk’s problems lie in goalscoring and not necessarily in the statistics side of things, which I do feel is unfair on them as I mentioned earlier. Not scoring goals is a big problem, of course, and for that reason I expect them to struggle against KuPS Kuopio today.

As KuPS’ season wears on, I find myself utterly fascinated with their ability to still be near the top of the Veikkausliiga. Two seasons ago, they were one of the worst sides in the Veikkausliiga and now they’re a comfortable mid-table side that are drastically over-achieving but are playing well enough to earn it. KuPS aren’t a HJK Helsinki or a FC Honka Espoo but they’re a very tenacious side and they’ve brought a lot of goals to their games this season, which is why they’re doing so well. I’d argue that they’ve played better on the road this season than they have at home, in fact! Fuck the statistics – I’m talking about actual performances here. 50% of away games won maybe isn’t as impressive as you might want to see but consider that three of those victories came in their last four games and they came against Jaro Pietarsaari, HJK Helsinki, and Inter Turku. Two of those sides are a lot better than KuPS and the other has a very strong squad this year so KuPS have very much earned my respect this year. Their African contingent has really done them proud this year with Nwakaeme leading the line in attack and Ollo and Udah playing very well in midfield. African players have a massive impact in this league because their relentless pace and tenacity is somewhat un-Finnish, if you like, which is why RoPS Rovaniemi have so much joy in the Ykkonen – they have a lot of African players. KuPS have this advantage over JJK and indeed over a lot of sides and I personally feel that’s why they’re doing so well this year. KuPS is a side that is much like JJK in that there are no stars but there’s a lot of workers. The fact is, however, that KuPS are a better version of JJK, particularly this season, and this is yet another great time for them to show it.

Since JJK Jyvaskyla were promoted into the Veikkausliiga for the 2009 season, they’ve played KuPS Kuopio four times – three times in the Veikkausliiga and once in the Liiga Cup – and they’ve lost all four games. They’ve lost three trips to Kuopio and one home game but each time they’ve found that their battling qualities do not give them an advantage against a battling and superior KuPS side. With the above in mind, I can only side with the away win at very generous odds today although I have to emphasise caution purely from a superstitious point of view because if something has to happen in the Veikkausliiga, it generally doesn’t happen at all!

Verdict: KuPS Kuopio to win at 31/20.

Evian Thonon Gaillard vs Vannes OC – home win at 10/11.

You don’t find it often in European football at all but Evian Thonon Gaillard have an advantage today that is more commonly found in South America – altitude advantage. Gaillard is situated between 1286 and 1394 feet above sea level, which is pretty damn high up if you’re used to playing at the average height above sea level in France! Evian enjoyed a great deal of succes in the French National because of this with fifteen wins in nineteen home games, losing just once along the way. Either the bookies know this or they simply looked at the statistics because they’ve priced the game quite well despite Evian being new to the division. However, Evian also have quality on their side too as they demonstrated with a 2-0 victory at giants Metz in their first Ligue 2 game ever, although it has to be noted that the victory was largely contributed to by their goalkeeper Laquait producing an inspired display. Evian have a lot in their favour today, to be blunt!

Vannes OC are a side capable of giving them a good game, usually. However, they’re not without problems themselves at the moment. An unconvincing win against newly-promoted Troyes in their opening Ligue 2 game of the season did little to improve my opinion of them and their missing players for tonight’s game (Kamissoko, Guillon, Delhommeau, Mezague etc.) leave me wondering how the thin squad of Vannes will cope, particularly at this altitude. Vannes’ problem last season on the road was scoring goals and I see little to change my mind from the mindset of them having not improved upon their lack of potency. They’re a decent enough side and could stifle the hosts today but I see more favouring the hosts than the visitors currently.

This should be a fairly close and low-scoring game today but odds of 10/11 on the home win appeal to me although I’d leave it if it drops further.

Verdict: Evian Thonan Gaillard to win at 10/11.

Montedio Yamagata vs Albirex Niigata – away win at 5/4.

Montedio Yamagata are a J-League side that has long outstayed their welcome in this division with perpetually negative football and defensive displays. They’re only still in this division because they don’t concede many goals at home and although it works for them, I still don’t enjoy it! They’ve only lost twice in eight home games this season because they’ve leaked just six goals, a record which only giants Kashima Antlers can better. Montedio rarely score goals themselves but by not conceding, they always have a chance of stealing a win. However, they’re facing something of a bogey side today – Albirex Niigata. Niigata have won two consecutive visits to Yamagata and beat them at home back in May so they certainly have the mental advantage here. Niigata are the better side too, which I find always helps! Niigata are also on a good run of form with three wins and one draw from their last four games, scoring at least twice in all of those games, one of which was against giants Kashima Antlers. Niigata have broken down some very resolute defences easily in those games and that’s what they’re up against today so it’s nothing out of the ordinary for them.

Effectively, a good tactical display from Niigata really should leave us with an away win today and the odds are decent enough to take it.

Verdict: Albirex Niigata to win at 5/4.

Dordrecht ’90 vs Cambuur Leeuwarden – away win at 21/20.

Forget everything you knew about the Eerste Divisie for this season. Very few of the sides remain entact following a financial nightmare over the summer for the vast majority of the clubs in the division. Some sides were docked points, some sides were relegated etc. and a lot of them lost big players. However, one of the few sides that have endured quite well is Cambuur, who although have lost some good players, still boast one of the better line-ups in the division, despite their squad being smaller as a result of financial difficulties. They still have former Girondins de Bordeaux goalkeeper Stanley Menzo in charge and he did a good job last year so I think one of the few sides that should remain consistent with last season’s displays should be Cambuur Leeuwarden. Dordrecht have revamped their side too much over the summer to present a stable side against Cambuur tonight, in my opinion. Hefty losses like Van Der Sloot and Verhoek are going to hurt them despite replacements having been signed. It’s going to take time for this side to gel and it’s shown in their friendlies too with their only three wins coming against part-time opposition. This game is not the start that Dordrecht would want at all and I therefore think there’s value on the away win tonight as a result although I’d leave it if drops below evens.

Verdict: Cambuur Leeuwarden to win at 21/20.

Polonia Warsaw vs Legia Warsaw – home win with draw no bet at 5/6.

The bookies have priced this game very well indeed with Polonia Warsaw’s rapid ascent to power and Legia Warsaw’s perpetual place within power in the Ekstraklasa. Legia had an atrocious campaign last time around and have duly made a lot of changes over the summer to bring in new players and looked good because of it against Arsenal in a friendly lately, although eventually losing the game 6-5, bizarrely. This should be a very good game indeed and I’m actually a bit annoyed that it’s so early in the season because it could have been even better.

Either way, I’m favouring the “underdogs” Polonia Warsaw for this one. Bakero has done a terrific job there and he’s made good signings. They were dominant against newly-promoted Gornik Zabrze in their opening game and should carry confidence from that game into this one as a result. New signing Sobiech scored on his official debut and although he’s a minor doubt for Polonia for this game, they still have a very strong squad. Polonia miss Jodlowiec through injury and Ebi Smolarek through a lack of match practice, although it looks a shread acquisition for Polonia long-term. More importantly on the team news front, Legia have problems with their goalkeepers since Jan Mucha joined Everton with both Antolovic and Makchnowskyj failing to inspire a confident display from their defence and thus Legia are weak in that area. Legia also miss captain and holding midfielder Vrdojlak for this game too and without leadership in the side, derbies can be very testing occasions indeed.

Lastly (and most amusingly), there won’t be any Legia fans at this game. Basically, the two clubs had some brief but funny negotiations for the ticket allocation of this game which went alarmingly close to something like this:

Legia Warsaw: “We want 1500 tickets for this game”
Polonia Warsaw “A good idea…if you’re an idiot. We’ll give you 300″
Legia Warsaw “No, we want 1500″
Polonia Warsaw “Ok, you can fuck off then”

So basically, there are only Polonia Warsaw fans at this game, which makes it a little more intimidating for the giants Legia, particularly in their first Ekstraklasa game of the season and I think they’ll be caught out as a result. It should be a very tight game indeed between two very good sides but for me, the value is with Polonia although I’m not yet brave enough to back the straight win here as Legia are a somewhat unknown factor for this year’s Ekstraklasa currently. It’s also worth noting that Polonia haven’t lost at home to Legia in their last three home games, winning their most recent visit 1-0 in a do-or-die battle against relegation last season.

Verdict: Polonia Warsaw to win with draw no bet at 5/6.

Odra Wodzislaw vs Gornik Leczna – home win at 31/20.

This is a very risky call; don’t go thinking this is the same Odra Wodzislaw that were relegated from the Ekstraklasa last season! They lost a lot of players in the summer as Odra’s board decided to restructure the club financially and rely on youngsters for the future rather than continually being in debt. Therefore, their aim for promotion to the Ekstraklasa is long-term rather than this season so approach with caution when betting on them this season. Indeed, their financial troubles are so bad that they actually had to have a “whip-round” amongst local businessmen to afford to travel to Poznan to face Warta last match. However, this problem can have two affects; it can either destroy a club or galvanise them and considering that they won 2-1 at a good and potent Warta side, I’m going to say that it’s galvanised the club and given them some momentum ahead of this game. Their visitors Gornik Leczna are a stubborn side but the newly-promoted outfit lack one thing more than anything else; goals. They’re very wasteful with their chances and as such, they’re a good side to bet against in general. Both sides should be rather low-scoring this year as both prepare for long and gritty seasons. However, with Odra so long to win this game, there has to be some value in this game today. Both sides should fight this one out to the death but I’m banking on Odra’s win last match pushing them through to win this game today as they’re a tad longer than I would price them at for this game.

Verdict: Odra Wodzislaw to win at 31/20.

Braga vs Portimonense – home win with -1.5 handicap at evens.

This one speaks for itself, really. Braga destroyed Celtic at home already this season in European competition despite being somewhat rusty on the competitive front, winning the game 3-0 and eventually qualifying for the next round of the UEFA Champions League Qualifiers 4-2 on aggregate. As loyal user Toffeeboy mentioned in his preview yesterday, Braga have brought in some good players and kept hold of their backbone so expect a marginally better overall display from Braga in the forthcoming season. Braga aren’t a team of stars, in my opinion, but they work extremely well together and rarely condede, especially at home, so they should give newly-promoted Portimonense a nightmare tonight. Portimonense had a good financial backing in the Liga de Honra last season but have struggled over the summer and parted with players, bringing very few in too. They basically look like sitting ducks against title challengers Braga tonight and the scoreline should really reflect it too, especially with Portimonense travelling quite poorly in the Liga de Honra last season, let alone the Liga Sagres!

I’ve not looked too favourably upon Braga over the past season or so; I’ve been rather suspicious of their overall level of ability, especially as influential manager Jorge Jesus left to join SL Benfica before the start of last season.. However, I’m extending them an olive branch here and backing them to beat the handicap at decent odds tonight because they really should totally outclass Portimonense and win the game comfortably.

Verdict: Braga to beat the -1.5 goal handicap at evens.

Kriens vs Locarno – home win at 3/5.

Kriens are too long here, in my opinion – I’d price them much shorter against an appalling Locarno side. In their three games so far this season, Locarno have still only managed to score one goal. Without wanting to be too blunt, it’s because they’re a really shit side. The only side they’ve scored against is a weak Stade Nyonnais side that will be battling against relegation with them. Locarno have lost at home to newly-promoted Chiasso and away against recently-relegated Aarau, although it should be noted that Aarau parted with a lot of players and field a very young squad in the Challenge League as a result. Locarno aren’t conceding many but when they do concede, they lose because they don’t score goals and they don’t score goals because they sold Swiss striker Rossini to Schaffhausen and Argentinian striker Senger to Lugano over the summer. Consider that those two strikers scored twenty-nine of Locarno’s overall forty-six goals last season and you’ll see why Locarno are in real trouble this year. 

Kriens have won their home game against Locarno for three seasons running now and have interestingly beaten the -1.5 goal handicap each time, their most recent win ending 6-2.  They’ve looked very good this season with wins against good Yverdon Sport and Winterthur sides respectively, as well as giving Challenge League giants Lugano a run for their money before losing 2-0. Kriens are very much a goalscoring side and have happily held on to Tadic over the summer, who was their leading goalscorer last season. Kriens were strong at home last season without being dominant because they conceded too many goals. They’ve not done much to counter that problem but their potency is just as high, if not higher, so expect a stern test from Kriens against whoever they face. Kriens shouldn’t have problems with the opponents scoring in this game of all games, especially with Locarno’s goalscoring ability virtually zero, so the home win here looks a mere formality here and should be closer to 1/3 than 3/5 in my eyes.

Verdict: Kriens to win at 3/5.
