Bundesliga - 2024/2025——Bayer Leverkusen VS VfB Stuttgart

 

 

Both teams played on Tuesday in the DFB Pokal (German Cup), but Leverkusen will have one eye on a mouthwatering Champions League tie at Liverpool.

 

Stuttgart are riding their own Champions League crest of a wave following a magical win at mighty Juventus.

 

Xabi Alonso's record-breaking champions sit in third, five points off the top after showing some early season rust, with VfB a further three points away in eighth.

 

Both meetings ended as entertaining score draws last season and that's the play again.

CONCACAF Central American Cup——Alajuelense VS Antigua GFC

 

Officially, Liga Deportiva Alajuelense and Antigua GFC teams have only played one match. The match took place on October 23, 2024 at the Antigua GFC team's field and ended with a score of 0:0.

Italian Serie A——Empoli VS Inter Milan

 

 

Inter Milan: Expect Inter to press high, aiming to capitalize on Empoli’s defensive weaknesses. Key players like Lautaro Martinez and Barella will likely lead the attack, seeking early goals to assert control.

Empoli: Likely to sit back and absorb pressure, Empoli’s best hope is to stay organized defensively and look for counter-attack or set-piece opportunities.

 

Inter Milan’s depth and current form make them favorites in this matchup, as Empoli will struggle to contain Inter’s potent attack.

 

Winner: Inter Milan

Score: Inter Milan 3-0 Empoli

Pick: Inter to Win, Under 3.5 Goals

England League Cup——Brentford VS Sheffield Wednesday

 

 

Given the current form and statistics of both teams, this match promises to be tightly contested. Brentford’s home advantage and their ability to score early could see them gain an upper hand initially. However, Sheffield Wednesday's exceptional away form and their capacity to find the net frequently means they cannot be underestimated.

 

Our prediction leans towards a draw, considering the historical competitiveness between the two teams, but an edge could go to Sheffield Wednesday due to their current scoring streak and efficiency on the road. The final scoreline could potentially be 2-2, given both teams' capabilities

Newcastle Jets set to crash landing at MaCarthur?

 

 

MaCarthur trashed Perth 6-1 at home on their opening game of the A-League season will be hungry for another win. The Australia Cup winner is aiming for the A-League title this season, this new A-League side is going from strength to strength each season. New signing Marin Jakolis scored two great goals against Perth and assisted one, he is a good player for the host.

 

Newcastle Jets lost at home to Melbourne City 0-1 on their opening fixture, they played against 10 men but failed to equalise to earn a draw, they are lacking in attacking flair. The Jets had only won just 3 games away from home last season, I fear the Jets will crash out here again despite they drew 2-2 at MaCarthur last season.

 

Odds Analysis:

Bookies opened MaCarthur AH -0.5, a pretty solid handicap, I would suggest a 2% bankroll (4 units) on home win.

UEFA EL——Athletic Bilbao VS Slavia Praha

J1 League——Gamba Osaka VS Nagoya Grampus

 

Nagoya Grampus has been in decent form, particularly away from home, where they often manage to grind out results. Their solid defense could frustrate Gamba Osaka and make it hard for them to break through.

 

Nagoya Grampus +0.25 Bet:

If Nagoya Grampus wins, the bet wins fully.

If the match ends in a draw, half the bet wins, and half is refunded.

If Nagoya Grampus loses, the bet loses.

 

Verdict:

Betting on Nagoya Grampus +0.25 is a cautious option, as it offers some protection in case of a draw. Given Nagoya’s solid defense and Gamba Osaka’s defensive struggles, Nagoya has a good chance to either win or secure a draw. This is a safe bet if you expect Nagoya to keep the game tight and avoid defeat.

Norway Adeccoligaen——Sandnes v Lyn Oslo

 

With just four games remain, SANDNES pretty much would be relegated if they fail to win at home today.

 

SANDNES had already lost eight games at home this season, with 66 goals conceded too, no surprise they are bottom in the league.

 

Lyn Oslo is still fighting for a play-off chance, this game I expect an away win given the fact bookies opened Asian Handicap on Lyn as -0.75, confidence is highly set by bookies!

 

Away AH -0.75

Chinese Super League——Shandong Taishan 🆚 Tianjin Tigers

 

This match between Shandong Taishan and Tianjin Tigers presents an intriguing contest. Shandong Taishan, playing at home, has shown an average attacking and defensive strength of 52.86%, while Tianjin Tigers, with a scoring potential of 47.14%, will aim to upset the hosts. Both teams have had ups and downs this season, with recent form indicating a balanced yet competitive encounter. Our analysis suggests that Shandong Taishan holds the upper hand with a predicted home win. This is largely due to their strong defensive and attacking capabilities, along with the home advantage. No clear Over/Under suggestion can be made, as the teams' scoring and defensive records don't provide a strong indication in either direction. Ultimately, this game will likely be a closely fought contest, with Shandong Taishan aiming to capitalize on home advantage and Tianjin Tigers looking to pull off an upset.

Indonesia Liga 1——PSIS Semarang v Persija Jakarta

 

 

Mid-table clash, both teams are struggling and I do. Or expect this game will be a high goals encounter.

 

PSIS Semarang is on a stable form, they won 3 home games from their last five matches, a form I believe they will get something from this game.

 

Persian Jakarta is winless in six away games, I do not think they will win here.

 

Odds analysis:

Opening AH track at +0/+0.5 on PSIS, I believe this is a good value, take Home AH +0.25 since last four head to head at home the host won three in last four meetings.

Chile Cup——Huachipato VS Puerto Montt

Team Analysis:

A lopsided first leg, Puerto Mont had 84% possession and scored 5 goals against Huachipato, a team playing in the top flight of Chile.

 

Odds analysis:

Huachipato have lost 4/14 home games this season. They are not doing too badly at home.

The last home match against Puerto Montt, Huachipato won 3-0.

Home advantage favors the team in the higher league.

 

Conclusion:

Huachipato win

UEFA NL——Belarus VS Luxembourg

 

UEFA Nation League, League C Group 3, this game will be held in Hungary as a neutral venue.

 

Belarus is top of the Group and could extend their lead if they beat Luxembourg, however, they have lost their home advantage today you may think, but they had not conceded a goal in three games and are undefeated in their last 4 away match.

 

Luxembourg failed to win in their last five away games and lost four of them. They also failed to score a goal in their last five matches.

 

Best to pick Belarus AH (0) at a risk-free bet.

International Friendly——New Zealand VS Malaysia

 

 

New Zealand has played 8 times this International Friendly Games season. The club has 0 wins, 4 losses, and 4 draws, from which New Zealand has 0 home victories.

 

Malaysia played 5 games in this season's International Friendly Games tournament. The club won 0 meetings in away matches, and overall has won 3, lost 1 and drawn 1 times.

 

Conclusion : I think the team play his draw this match

 

HDP : +1/1.5

BET : away

UEFA Nations League——Cyprus Vs Romania

Team Analysis:

Cyprus and Romania have contrasting forms, with Romania showing significant improvement after reaching the Euro's last 16. Romania has scored six goals in two Nations League games, demonstrating their attacking potency. In contrast, Cyprus has lost seven of their last nine home matches, struggling to find momentum.

 

Romania's recent performances under Mircea Lucescu have instilled self-belief, evident in their 3-0 victories over Ukraine and Kosovo. Cyprus, however, faces an uphill battle, especially after Kosovo's 4-0 win in Cyprus. Romania's defensive solidity and attacking flair make them favorites.

 

Odds Analysis:

Given Romania's impressive form and Cyprus's struggles, odds heavily favor Romania to win. Romania's attacking prowess and Cyprus's defensive vulnerabilities increase the likelihood of an away win. Bookmakers may offer favorable odds for Romania to win by a margin (e.g., 2+ goals) or over 2.5 goals. Romania's recent goal-scoring record and Cyprus's defensive issues suggest a high-scoring match. Punters may consider betting on Romania to score 2+ goals or over 2.5 goals in the match.

 

Conclusion:

Romania's resurgence after the Euros, coupled with Cyprus's home struggles, points to an away win. Romania's attacking flair, defensive solidity, and recent victories make them likely to overpower Cyprus. Cyprus's desperation to redeem themselves may lead to an open game, but Romania's quality should prevail.

 

A Romania win with over 2.5 goals scored appears likely, reflecting the teams' recent trends. Cyprus's hopes of securing a positive result hinge on rediscovering their early-season spirit and containing Romania's attacking threats.

Africa Cup of Nations——Equatorial Guinea VS Liberia

 

Equatorial Guinea and Liberia are set to face off in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match on October 11, 2024, at 2 p.m. UK time. Both teams are struggling to find their footing, with neither securing a victory in their opening two qualifying matches.

 

Team Analysis.

 

Equatorial Guinea's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five games. They were denied a much-needed triumph in their last encounter against Togo, which ended 2-2. Liberia, on the other hand, suffered a 3-0 loss to Algeria in their previous match.

 

The match is expected to be a closely contested, low-scoring affair. Equatorial Guinea's Iban Salvador will likely lead the attack, while Liberia's Abdulai Koulibaly is expected to return to the starting lineup after recovering from an injury.

 

Odd Analysis.

 

The odds are slightly in favor of Equatorial Guinea, with a predicted 1-0 win. However, Liberia has shown resilience in their previous matches, recording two victories and three stalemates from five prior involvements across all competitions.

 

Conclusion.

 

Given the teams' current forms and past performances, this match is anyone's game. Equatorial Guinea's home advantage might give them the edge they need, but Liberia's determination to turn their campaign around could lead to an upset. A draw or a narrow win for either side is a likely outcome.

Africa Cup of Nations——Namibia VS Zimbabwe

 

African Cup of Nations Qualifying Group J game today between Namibia and Zimbabwe will be played in Johannesburg, South Africa as a neutral venue due to ground safety, in theory, Namibia already lost their home advantages you may think.

 

Namibia has lost three games on a spin and failed to score four in a row. They are bottom in Group J and desperately need a point to make it to the knockout.

 

Zimbabwe is winless in three games on a spin, and they failed to score a single goal, this game I have not got too much hope that they can break the goal drought.

 

Odds Analysis:

Asian Bookies opened a much stronger Asian Handicap on Namibia as (0/-0.25) compared to EU Bookies at just (0), despite Namibia playing away, Asian bookies favor Namibia, we best take Namibia AH (0).

International Friendly U19——France U19 VS Denmark U19

 

 

Recent Form

France: Assessing their recent matches can give insight into their confidence and momentum. High-scoring games could indicate a strong attack.

Denmark: Examining how they performed against similar opponents can shed light on their ability to compete against top teams.

 

I think there were three up

Liga Portugal 1——Nacional da Madeira VS Benfica

 

 

Tactical Matchup:

• Nacional’s Approach: Nacional will likely sit deep, defending in numbers, and look to frustrate Benfica. They’ll rely on counter-attacks and set-pieces to create their best chances of scoring.

• Benfica’s Approach: Benfica will dominate possession, pushing Nacional back with their high press and wide attacking play. They’ll look to break down the deep defense with quick passing combinations and movement from their attackers.

---------

Prediction:

Benfica is the clear favorite in this matchup. Nacional may put up a defensive fight, but Benfica’s superior quality should prevail over the course of the match.

 

Prediction:

Nacional da Madeira 0-3 Benfica

EFL Trophy | Group Stage——Cheltenham Town vs. Reading - prediction, team news, lineups

 

League Two side Cheltenham Town are set to host League One team Reading on Tuesday at Whaddon Road in each club's second EFL Trophy match of the 2024-25 season.

 

The home team are second with three points in the four-team group after they beat Newport County 2-1 on September 3, while the visitors are first with three points after they emerged as 3-1 victors against West Ham United Academy on August 20.

 

Cheltenham were trailing 1-0 after 33 minutes against Newport County, but the Robins took full advantage when Jacob Carney was sent off in the 43rd minute and eventually won 2-1 thanks to two second-half goals from Harrison Sohna and Joel Colwill.

 

In their most recent match, the hosts lost 2-1 against Barrow on Saturday, a match in which the Robins created no big chances and had just 36% possession.

 

Manager Michael Flynn said in the aftermath of his side's defeat that he felt his team played excellently in the first half but ultimately ceded too much positional territory and conceded two poor goals.

 

The result leaves Flynn's side 20th in the 24-team league with 10 points after 10 matches, and they have now conceded 16 goals, the joint fifth most goals per game.

 

Cheltenham have lost seven of their last 11 games in all competitions, though they have won four of their six most recent competitive home matches.

 

The visitors come into the clash having thoroughly beaten West Ham United Academy in their first EFL Trophy match of the season, and they only conceded because of an own goal from Harlee Dean in the 38th minute.

 

Reading had 57% possession, produced 20 shots and only faced five shots themselves, and boss Ruben Selles was thrilled with the performance of his youthful side on the night.

 

Selles will be less pleased with his team's showing in League One this term given they are 16th in the table with 13 points from nine matches, though they do have a game in hand on eight of the clubs above them and are only three points from sixth-placed Stockport County.

 

The Royals lost 2-1 last time out on Saturday against Rotherham United, though they did have to play with 10 men after Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan was sent off in the 68th minute when they were trailing 2-1.

 

Reading have won two of their last three games, but they did lose two of the prior three matches.

 

The visitors have also been poor away from home this season, losing their last four fixtures on the road and drawing the previous match 1-1 against Birmingham City on August 10.

Italian Serie A——Bologna VS Parma

 

 

Team Analysis:

Bologna are still looking for their first home win. They have drawn all 3 home games they have played. With 4/6 draws, Bologna are leading in the draw rate.

Parma have also not won in the 2 away games they have played. In 6 games, Parma have 5 points, 2 points less than the home team

 

Odds analysis:

Bologna are unbeaten in the last 9 matches against Parma. The last 2 times, Bologna won with a difference of 3 goals (0-3 and 4-1).

 

Conclusion:

Bologna win.
