Villarreal II vs Hercules Alicante

Today’s featured game is in the Spanish Segunda Liga and features newly-promoted Villarreal II and title hopefuls Hercules Alicante. The hosts have made the kind of start to this season that I expected i.e. poor. They’ve played two games, won neither and conceded too many goals. I feel this sets the precedent for Villarreal II’s season quite well, really. They’re not good enough to be in this division and I don’t expect them to be in it next year. Visitors Hercules Alicante may not be in it either but for other reasons – they’ve got their eyes set on promotion. After being so close last year, Hercules Alicante appear to have carried their momentum over from that season to this one. An impresisve 2-1 victory over Real Betis Balompie last match gives them any additional bonus they need to overcome a lowly Villarreal II tonight, not that needed any anyway! The visitors are simply too good and odds of 5/4 astound me, frankly – take them whilst you still can!

Saturday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Villarreal II vs Hercules Alicante – away win at 5/4 – see introduction for full details.

Chacarita Juniors vs Rosario Central - away win at 6/5. After yet another victory mid-week, clubs are beginning to take Rosario Central a bit more seriously as they now boast three wins from three games. Today their hosts are newly-promoted Chacarita Juniors, who are playing like a newly-promoted side is generally expected to play – badly and with few points. In this instance, however, Chacarita Juniors have zero points from three games having tasted defeat three times. As irony would have it, Rosario Central were in a similar position in the not-too-distant past but time makes fools of us all! These two sides are polar opposites today and I think an away win is on the cards at 6/5.

Velez Sarsfeld vs San Lorenzo de Almagro – home win at 10/11. As expected, Velez Sarsfeld are making a dominating start to their campaign. They’re currently first in the league with three wins from three games and just a solitary goal conceded. They look the side to beat this year as I thought they might and I don’t think rivals San Lorenzo de Almagro have enough to compete with them today. The visitors are unbeaten so far in this campaign although that’s largely due to a late goal by Alejandro Goméz in the away game with Godoy Cruz de Mendoza. Frankly, San Lorenzo de Almagro not only lack the quality but also the performance to match Velez Sarsfeld today and I thoroughly expect it to show with a home win at 10/11.

Wacker Innsbruck vs Admira Wacker – home win at 6/5. There’s not a great deal between these two outfits but what does stand out is that Wacker Innsbruck are currently the best home side in the division. They’ve won three times and drawn once, conceding just one goal in the process but scoring nine. Visitors Admira Wacker have a decent away record, as it happens, having been beaten just once on the road and winning twice. Although form isn’t my foundation here, it is worth pointing out that Admira Wacker haven’t won in three games, losing two of their last three. Lastly, head-to-heads show that Wacker Innsbruck not only managed to win this fixture last season but haven’t lost this fixture in their last three meetings. For me, there’s value in the home win at 6/5.

Lokomotiva Zagreb vs Sibenik – away win at 6/4. High-flying Sibenik travel to newly-promoted Lokomotiva Zagreb with hopes of claiming a third consecutive win and what better side for them to play against? The hosts have leaked a lot of goals in the Prva Liga already this season and find themselves just outside the drop zone currently. Sibenik aren’t the best side in Croatia by some distance but they’ve got more than enough in their arsenal to overcome a weaker opponent in Lokomotiva Zagreb and 6/4 is a good price to see it happen at.

Rijeka vs Karlovac – home win at 4/5. Unexpectedly, Karlovac have entered the Prva Liga with a real bang and currently find themselves in second place in the table behind the usual leaders Dinamo Zagreb. The visitors today are unbeaten in all competitions currently with their main strength being that sides find it hard to score against them. However, their fixtures tell me they’ve not had a real test yet, something they’re guarenteed to get today at Rijeka. The hosts have been formidable on their own ground for some years now with a lot of clubs fearing to come here. Rijeka have continued to build upon their fortress’ reputation by winning all three of their home games this season, including an impressive win over Hajduk Split. The hosts are well-placed to deal a considerable blow to little Karlovac and I expect to see it happen today. 4/5 are good odds so take them whilst you can!

Sparta Prague vs Jablonec - lay Sparta Prague at 5/4. This is a bold call but I’m intrigued by it. Sparta Prague are beginning to prove on a regular basis that they’re unable to score more than a goal a game. For a title contender, this is obviously a considerable drawback. Sparta Prague can consider themselves extremely fortunate that none of their rivals are putting in their best performances yet or Sparta Prague might just find themselves a good distance behind the leaders. Jablonec have played very well this season and currently sit atop the Gambrinus Liga unbeaten with four wins from six games. They’ve put in some very good performances and justly claimed some good results from it. Jablonec have scored in every away game this season, they did it here last year and have scored against Sparta Prague in each of their last two meetings. Since then, Sparta Prague have become weaker, in my opinion, and Jablonec are more than capable of obtaining at least a draw here so laying Sparta Prague at 5/4 looks a potentially really good bet. 

Derby County vs Sheffield United - away win at 13/8. This is a bit of a no-brainer with the proviso that Sheffield United turn up. Any side that can concede three goals to Nottingham Forest cannot defend – it’s that simple. This is the kind of side Sheffield United have been waiting to play against because they’re struggling to score goals. The hosts aren’t in the best of form and the visitors might be unbeaten but they’ve drawn more than they’ve won. They’ll be keen to get three poinst today and I think they’ve got more than enough firepower to see it happen. 13/8 on the away win looks a good bet for me.

Preston North End vs Swansea City – home win at 5/6. Preston North End are finally rediscovering their good performances after a shaky start and have the perfect game with which to increase their run of wins to three in their last four games. The hosts are still unbeaten this season and a depleted Swansea City squad are unlikely to break that particular statistic. With just one win in five games, the Welsh visitors will be lucky to leave Deepdale with anything at all. The hosts have everything they need to win this game so I’d take 5/6 on the home win whilst you still can.

Queens Park Rangers vs Peterborough United – home win at 5/6. Although it’s not identical, this game is very similar to the one above in my eyes. Queens Park Rangers have yet to consistently deliver this season but have the opportune moment to do so against Championship rubbing rags Peterborough United. The hosts have the ability to win this game with ease and a win last match has given them that extra momentum they maybe just needed to kickstart their campaign. Peterborough United have been unlucky in some of their games so far this season but the fact remains that after five games they’re still yet to claim three points. I can’t see that changing here today so a home win looks favourable at 5/6 as long as Queens Park Rangers take the chances that they get.

West Bromwich Albion vs Plymouth Argyle – home win with -1.75 handicap at 6/5. This is a definite no-brainer! The league table tells you all you need to know here!

Bristol Rovers vs Oldham Athletic – home win at 10/11. High-flying Bristol Rovers entertain a demoralised and under-performing Oldham Athletic side at what can only be classed as a “perfect time”. Why? Well, Oldham Athletic are actually a pretty damn good side – they’re just hiding it well at the moment. In fact, I think they made their ability invisible because they managed to lose 3-0 at home to Hartlepool United last game, which is frankly farcical. Oldham Athletic haven’t won in their last four games now, losing and drawing twice. The hosts are virtually untouchable currently with four wins in six games and look set to continue this characteristic against a brusied, battered and bewildered Oldham Athletic at odds of 10/11.

Charlton Athletic vs Southampton – home win with -1.75 handicap at 15/8. Much akin to West Bromwich Albion vs Plymouth Argyle, this is a no-brainer – the league table shows you all you need to know!

Nomme Kalju vs Flora Tallinn  – away win at 11/10. I don’t know why the bookmakers keep underestimating Flora Tallinn but it’s quite pleasing, really! Admittedly, they’ve not had the most productive of seasons and are languishing a couple of places below where they expect to be at this stage of the Meistriliiga season but nonetheless they’re a good side in good form. Frankly, they’re better than Nomme Kalju in whichever light you look at it as they’ve proven for a long time now – well, in terms of league placing and games on this ground, anyway! Nomme Kalju are something of a bogey team when this fixture is played at Flora Tallinn but in this fixture Flora Tallinn have emerged victorious for three years running now. 11/10 on an away win here is a real bargain!

Tampere United vs IFK Mariehamn – home win at 11/8. This is a dubious call but Tampere United are the best home side in the Veikkausliiga so I’m prepared to give it a shot! Seven home wins from ten games says that Tampere United are extremely well-placed to overcome their opponents today. However, IFK Mariehamn could be described as the hardest side to beat in this division being as nobody seems to be able to do it! This point is backed up by the fact that they have only lost one away game this season but have drawn a staggering seven games, winning just twice! There’s no questioning the dogged tenacity of IFK Mariehamn and I expect a tight game because of it. However,Tampere United have just enough to get the job done here so odds of 11/8 do look inviting.

Girondins de Bordeaux vs Grenoble Foot – home win with -1.75 handicap at 5/6. I’ve been very impressed with Girondins de Bordeaux this season, moreso than I was last season, even. That coupled with the fact that they’re playing the worst side in the division says this will be a convincing win – another no-brainer! Soon you won’t need me anymore, eh?!

Dundalk vs Cork City - away win at 6/4. Annihlation at Derry City saw Dundalk morale drop as it’s now three games without a win for today’s hosts. Visitors Cork City, by contrast, have won their last two games consecutively and boast one of the best away records in the division. When you add the remaining information that Cork City are considerably better than Dundalk quality-wise, you get a pretty convincing away win. 6/4 are surprisingly good odds to see it happen at, too!

Livorno vs AC Milan - away win at 3/4. I know AC Milan were trounced 4-0 by a rampant Internazionale in the Milan derby but has that really affected the bookmakers enough to give such good odds on this game?! I can’t explain it and frankly, I don’t want to. I feel that if I could I might implode!! AC Milan are head and shoulders above a weak Livorno team in terms of quality and have more than enough in reserve to see this game out with three points in their back pockets. The hosts do have an intimidating atmosphere here, moreso than most sides do, but they’ve sold one of their best players to West Ham United and will struggle to get anything from this game. The away win at 3/4 looks an absolute steal!

Frosinone vs Padova - home win at 10/11. Frosinone have surprised me by their tremendous start to their Serie B campaign but I’m happy to ride it, particularly against newly-promoted Padova. The hosts have won three games from three, two of which were impressive away wins to recently relegated Lecce and tough home side Salernitana. Padova may be unbeaten currently but they’re facing a decent side in very good form and that always spells danger in my book. 10/11 on the home win could be a very good bet here.

Kyoto Purple Sanga vs FC Tokyo – home win at 2/1. I wasn’t going to bother with this bet until I saw the fantastic odds that the bookies are giving on this outcome, something I can hardly believe! Kyoto Purple Sanga are one of the best home sides in the whole of the J-League despite their deceptive league placing. Eight wins from twelve home games says that giving 2/1 on the home win could be a very big mistake for the bookies if this comes off. FC Tokyo, to their credit, are one of the better away sides in this division but three defeats in their last five games says that they’re struggling to maintain that fact. Kyoto Purple Sanga’s form is hit-and-miss as you’d expect from a dogged home side like they are but I still cannot fathom why they’re 2/1 to win this game but rest assured I will be taking those odds!!

Kashima Antlers vs Kawasaki Frontale – home win at evens. These two sides are battling it out at the top of the J-League. Kashima Antlers are the bigger and better side whereas Kawasaki Frontale are seeking to rock the boat of their bigger and more illustrious opponents. I have to give credit to Kawasaki Frontale, however – they’ve certainly managed to rock the boat for a large part of the season thus far but I think today is a bridge too far for them. In my eyes, a home win here today sees the title in the hands of Kashima Antlers and what better side for them to do it against? They’ll be highly motivated because Kawasaki Frontale are title rivals and confident because of their scintillating home record of nine wins from eleven games with zero defeats. As much as I respect Kawasaki Frontale, I can’t see them getting anything here today against a good Kashima Antlers side so evens on the home win looks a good bet.

Indios vs Toluca – away win at 11/8. Winless Indios entertain a good Toluca side that have had some of the wind taken out of their sails lately, most notably in the 7-2 thrashing by America. However, the fact remains that Toluca are a good side and five wins from seven games proves that point. Indios still haven’t managed to gain three points this season and their form suggests that this game will be little more than a walk in the park for Toluca today. 11/8 on the away win looks a good bet for those reasons.

Jagiellonia Bialystok vs Lech Poznan – home win at 17/10. This is a dubious bet but one of my favourites of the day, it has to be said! Jagiellonia Bialystok have performed admirably in the wake of their points deduction at the start of the season having already recovered the lost points. They’ve got some good momentum going on (despite defeat by Wisla Krakow last match) and are a well-organised side. Lech Poznan used to be an organised side too but they just don’t seem to have that at the moment. I’m not sure why they’re not turning up but no wins in three games (two defeats and one draw) says they’re just not with it currently. The quality is still there but the organisation and momentum clearly isn’t. For those reasons, I fancy Jagiellonia Bialystok to steal three points today and 17/10 is superb odds to see it happen at!

Dubnica vs MSK Zilina – away win at 11/10. Despite four points from their last six, Dubnica are still a poor side – there’s just no getting away from that fact. They’ve won once in eight attempts and entertain an MSK Zilina side that consistently competes for the Corgon Liga title as they are this year with five wins from seven games. They’ve only tasted defeat once this season and I don’t think little Dubnica have enough to cause them problems today. An MSK Zilina win at 11/10 looks a potential bargain, particularly with their good form against a mediocre opponent.

Espanyol vs Real Madrid - home win with +1 handicap at 7/5. This is probably my riskiest call of the day but bear with me! I tipped Espanyol to do well this season but that was before the death of key centre-back and Captain Daniel Jarque. Espanyol aren’t as good without him, admittedly, but this is their first home game since his death and the players and fans alike will want to win this in his honour. Whereas I’m not saying they’re capable of beating Real Madrid in the open, I do think we can beat Real Madrid by giving Espanyol +1 at 7/5. Real Madrid have some very good attackers but their defence is beyond shocking and I expect them to concede in just about every game they play in this year. The hosts still have a decent enough squad to take a draw here and that’ll be enough to see us win!

Trelleborg vs Kalmar – home win at 7/4. Kalmar are struggling a little at the moment with just one win in their past four games. They’ve now lost the two Elms from their squad, which are both big losses, and now face the arduous task of overcoming a resilient Trelleborgs side that have won enough home games to be in the top four/five of the Allsvenskan currently. The hosts make this a real fortress for sides to come and play at so a weakened and slightly demoralised Kalmar will have a mightily tough task overcoming Trelleborgs today, something I actually think is beyond them. Taking the home win at 7/4 could turn out to be a really good bet here as the hosts have won seven from ten home games thus far in this campaign.

Le Mont vs Lugano - away win at 3/4. I’m not sure why the bookies are giving 3/4 on one of the Challenge League’s promotion favourites Lugano are travelling to one of the worst sides in the division – Le Mont – who haven’t won any of their last three games, losing two in those three efforts. The hosts are in the relegation zone as they’ve claimed just one win from six games whereas the promotion hopefuls are currently second in the Challenge League with four wins from six games. Lugano boast an astounding away record of three wins from three games, a massive fourteen goals scored and not a single goal conceded. Make no mistake, Le Mont will have their work cut out to obtain anything here so the away win looks a great bet at 3/4!

Basel vs Young Boys Bern

Today’s featured game is between Swiss heavyweights Basel and Young Boys Bern. The hosts today have been the dominant force in this league for some years now but their grasp on that title appears to be waning. For instance, their form this season indicates two league wins from seven games. That’s really not title-winning form! They’re simply not scoring enough goals and are conceding a little too easily for a big side. Unfortunately for Basel, their issues come at a time where Young Boys Bern are well and truly on the rise, as they proved by finishing above Basel last season. Not only that, but their form this season is scintillating with six wins and one draw from seven games. They’ve also played Athletic Club de Bilbao in the UEFA Europa League and can consider themselves highly unlucky to be knocked out after two very impressive performances. They’re averaging approximately 2.5 goals per game at the moment and have beaten Basel the last three times the two sides have met at either ground, including a particularly impressive 0-3 win in this exact fixture last season. The visitors today have tremendous form, momentum and ability – all the things that Basel are currently lacking. For those reasons, I’m astounded the odds on an away win are 2/1 because I think there’s a very good chance of this occurring. Of course, do approach with caution as these two sides are both good sides on their day so perhaps look at draw no bet.

Sunday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Basel vs Young Boys Bern – away win at 2/1 – see introduction for full details.

Austria Vienna vs Rapid Vienna – away win with draw no bet odds of 11/10. I’m going against what has virtually become a tradition in Austria by calling an away win here ’cause it almost never happens in this fixture. That said, I don’t think Rapid Vienna have been as good as they are now for some time now. Needless to say that both of these sides are bitter rivals and it will be a feisty encounter. Both sides were in action mid-week and both qualified for the latter stages of the UEFA Europa League. Rapid Vienna put in a very impressive display in England to overcome Aston Villa (as was correctly predicted by yours truly!) and could have won by a much more comfortable margin. Austria Vienna managed to qualify after a slow start as they needed extra time to overcome Metalurg Donetsk of Ukraine. Both of these sides will be a little tired from their respective encounters, no doubt. There’s no denying that both of these sides are very good and it should be a close call. However, I’m siding with a very impressive Rapid Vienna today with the insurance of draw no bet at odds of 11/10.

SV Ried vs Sturm Graz – home win at 11/10. One of Austria’s best home teams entertains one of Austria’s best sides so already we have an interesting tie! Perhaps that’s a bit exaggerated for Sturm Graz, however – they’re bottom of the “big four” in Austria in my opinion. Nonetheless, a good side they remain! As you’d expect, SV Ried have set about making the Keine Sorgen Arena a fortress yet again and are doing a bloody good job having already beaten Salzburg and drawn with an impressive Rapid Vienna at home. Last season SV Ried remained unbeaten at home all season so it’s worth taking into account how much of a fortress these guys possess! It’s also worth noting that in their last nine Bundesliga vists to SV Ried, Sturm Graz have never won here and have only ever salvaged one point from those nine games. If that’s not enough to convince you that a home win at 11/10 is worth your money then I don’t know what is!

LASK Linz vs Wiener Neustadt – home win at 11/10. Bundesliga top goalscorers LASK Linz entertain newly-promoted Wiener Neustadt wondering just how they’re third bottom currently with such an astounding goalscoring record. They currently boast an average of no less than three goals per game, which is very impressive indeed. The league placing of LASK Linz is harsh when you consider just who they’ve actually played. Three of their first five games have been against Salzburg, Rapid Vienna and Austria Vienna – the three best sides in the country. Their two other league games resulted in 4-0 wins and both sides they encountered were better than or equal to today’s opponents. The sides that did beat LASK Linz really had their work cut out though! Austria Vienna won 5-4 against them, Salzburg beat them 3-2 and Rapid Vienna were a little more comfortable with a 4-1 victory. What I’m painstakingly trying to point out is that the hosts are a lot better than their league position shows and I think Wiener Neustadt could be taught a footballing lesson today. Frankly, odds of 11/10 are an absolute steal on this game, particularly as Wiener Neustadt have already indicated that they’re pretty damn useless on the road with two defeats from two games.

Torpedo Zhodino vs Shakhtyor Soligorsk  – away win at 6/4. I mentioned in a previous post that Shakhtyor Soligorsk were a sleeping giant. Unfortunately, they’re no longer asleep and are destroying just about everything in their way in a late bid to catch champions BATE Borisov and prevent them from winning yet another Vysshaya Liga title. Will they do it? Probably not – I can’t see BATE Borisov dropping twelve points between now and the end of the season but at least Shakhtyor Soligorsk can cement European football for them next year if their run continues. Torpedo Zhodino are on a bit of a downward spiral with two defeats in their last two games despite and impressive start. With the hosts on a slight descent and Shakhtyor Soligorsk on the rise, you have to look for the away win at 6/4.

Anderlecht vs Standard de Liege - home win at evens. Despite Standard de Liege having the voodoo sign over Anderlecht these past few years, that voodoo charm is beginning to fall with the sale of some key players and a misfiring strikeforce. Ironically, as Standard de Liege begin to weaken, Anderlecht begin to get stronger so they’re about on par at the moment if not slightly better. Hosts Anderlecht are on a revenge trip after Standard de Liege pipped them to the post in last season’s Eerste Divisie title race as they drew level on the final day and beat Anderlecht over the two-legged play-offs. Despite being annihlated by a rampant Olympique Lyonnais side lately in Europe, Anderlecht have proven that they know how to score goals in any situation and this is something they have missed in the last few years. As I mentioned earlier Standard de Liege haven’t got going yet and have sold some players over summer so a home win at evens looks very tempting here today.

OH Leuven vs Lierse SK – away win at 5/6. Last season, Lierse proved they’re too good to be in this division. Unfortunately, they forgot that they needed to prove they were good enough to be in the division above, which is why they’re still stuck in the Tweede Klasse! After a slow start, they have the perfect game to gain their first three points as they travel to a OH Leuven side that are currently pointless. The hosts were fortunate to stay in the division last season and appear destined for another lengthy struggle. Although form doesn’t quite support my call, 5/6 on an away win could be a good bet today.

Groningen vs PSV Eindhoven - away win at 5/6. An absymal start to the Eredivisie campaign from Groningen sees them without a win in four games and struggling to score goals. They’re entertaining a PSV Eindhoven machine that is gradually becoming well-oiled as the season progresses. The visitors aren’t exactly fluent and easy on the eye at the moment but they are ruthlessly efficient and seem to have little problem winning any game before them at the present time. Lastly, having won here last season, PSV Eindhoven are more than aware that three points are a very real possibility here today. 5/6 on the away win is crying out to be taken!

Tromso vs Fredrikstad – home win at 5/6. Despite no wins in three games, Tromso have been battling well lately and can consider themselves unfortunate in both their domestic campaign and their European campaign to have not notched up a win. They’ve got the perfect opportunity to find those evasive three points today though as they host relegation-threatened Fredrikstad, who have now lost two games consecutively. The trip to Tromso is always a tricky one for any side, let alone one that has lost seven from eleven away games this season. The hosts have got the quality and the tenacity to gain a much-needed three points here today so the home win looks a good bet at 5/6.

Stromsgodset vs Odd Grenland Skien – away win at 11/10. I’m a little surprised at myself for calling this but I’ll see how it goes! Odd Grenland Skien have surprised a lot of people this year (myself included) by maintaining their early season form throughout the season. Atypically, it’d be fair to say that a side in third place in the table after 2/3 of the season are “challenging for the title” although I don’t think that’s accurate in this scenario as they’re twelve points behind an irresistable Rosenborg BK. Despite not having many away wins under their belt, they rarely lose away from home having been defeated just twice on the road all season. Stromsgodset do posses one hell of a fortress on their day, however, so do approach with caution, despite their dismal form of late. I’m going to call the away win at 11/10, however, because Odd Grenland Skien’s form at the moment tells you that they’re capable of beating just about anyone.

Notodden vs Moss – away win at 13/8. Hosts Notodden find themselves on the wrong end of a notable four game run being as they’ve lost all of them. They’re entertaining a Moss side that are very much capable of being higher than they currently are in the Adeccoligaen. A rampant victory against high-flying Honefoss last match will have done much to buoy the visitors for today’s game against a drastically out-of-sorts Notodden. Three wins in five games says Moss are on the rise; that’s enough for me to take the away win at 13/8 to dispose of despondent Notodden!

Uniao de Leiria vs Maritimo – away win at 13/8. Maritimo have made an expected start to the season with a couple of solid performances and points on the board. I’m expecting a good season from them and they’ve not let me down thus far. Uniao de Leiria are unbeaten in their opening two games but those two games were against sides that I expect to battle it out with them for relegation – Rio Ave and Olhanense – so I wouldn’t read too much into that. Basically, this game really should be an away win and I’ll be surprised if it isn’t. Odds of 13/8 on the away win are a bargain here!

Drava vs Rudar Velenje – away win at 6/5. Unbeaten Rudar Velenje are flying high with five wins and one draw from their six games this season. The foundation for this impressive run is clearly their watertight defence, having only conceded three goals over those six games. Today they travel to lowly out-of-sorts Drava who are third bottom despite claiming their first three points of the season last match. The hosts are a good side on their day but Rudar Velenje are in irresistable form and have won here for two out of the past three seasons. For those reasons, 6/5 on the away win looks intriguing.

Real Mallorca vs Deportivo Xerez – home win at 3/4. It’s been widely-publicised that Deportivo Xerez have massive issues with management, squad size and financial troubles. This really isn’t the way to start a season in one of the toughest leagues in the world and I think they’re going to discover that today. Real Mallorca have weakened over summer, as usual, particularly with the loss of Arango, but they’re still a potent side at home. I can’t see anything other than a home win here today and 3/4 is much better value than I originally anticipated.

Malaga vs Atletico Madrid - away win at 11/10. I wasn’t a fan of backing Atletico Madrid away from home last season but I’ve been gradually won over. The strength in depth, talent and experience that this squad now boasts is highly impressive and I expect a very good season from them, particularly with the acquisition of one of the best young goalkeepers in Europe – Sergio Asenjo. I also wasn’t a fan of backing anyone going away to play Malaga last season because they were free-flowing at home when it came to goalscoring and were generally hard to play. However, having lost their manager and substantial quality over the summer, Malaga could be gearing up for a lot and ultimately disappointing season, starting today. Atletico Madrid already have competitive match practive from their exploits against Panathinaikos so will be raring to go. 11/10 on the away win today looks a steal!

Tavriya Simferopol vs Vorskla Poltava – home win at evens. Despite drawing last match, hosts Tavriya Simferopol are still looking good to maintain their impressive start to their campaign. However, they do need a win to keep it going and they know that they’ve got a good chance of doing that today aganist Vorskla Poltava. The visitors gained a credible draw at home to giants Dynamo Kiev last match with their typically defensive play but I don’t think they’ll be able to ride their luck here today against a potent Tavriya Simferopol. I expect a low-scoring affair but ultimately a home win looks to be on the cards and appears to be good value at evens too.

Metalurg Zaporizhya vs Metalist Kharkiv – away win at 5/6. Metalist Kharkiv have let me down a couple of times lately so I’m becoming a little irritated by them. However, as you’ve probably guessed, I’m keeping the faith with them today because the side they’re playing aren’t a good side at all. Frankly, Metalurg Zaporizhya aren’t a patch on the side they were last season and one win in their past five games adds weight to my claim. Although they can be a difficult side at home on occasion, Metalist Kharkiv have good enough form in the league to overcome them today and more ability in their squad to do the damage. Again, this should be another low-scoring affair but 5/6 on the away win could be good value.
