Italian Serie A - Sampdoria v Roma

 

Analysis:

Another new week with another chance to get a profitable start, Angie staying in Italy this week with more Italian analysis to come. Monday night I expect Roma to triumph over Sampdoria, odds on an away win somewhat classed as a value bet for bettors to recover from their weekend losses. Bookies are normally generous on a Monday night without fixing any games.

 

Sampdoria's woeful season looking set to continue, as their long-term partner Genoa has already been relegated to Serie B, the city of Genoa looks glimmer than ever if Sampdoria also facing relegation. The host had yet to win a home game this season.

 

Roma isn't that strong away from home either, however, with the opening Asian Handicap track at -0.75, bookies are clearly confident of an away win result. If the away win odds initial open were priced at 1.85+, I would have avoided this game.

 

With the result in AH (-0.75) on Roma they had passed 3 in last 5 AH, same as Sampdoria. Given the fact the host is struggling, I believe in Roma.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

AWAY WIN

German Bundesliga - Eintracht Frankfurt v Bayer Leverkusen

 

 

Analysis:

Both teams are eager to win this game to move up the league table as the two of the big name in Germany going head-to head today. I expect a goal-rush kind of result as both teams had not performed as well as they should have been so far this early part of the season.

 

Eintracht Frankfurt loss in mid week Champions League to Tottenham narrowly put them off course to qualify, back at home soil, the league game is a lot more important than their cup run.

 

Bayer Leverkusen is much worse in terms of league position as they are only outside the drop zone, with too many games lost as well as bigger defeats, their defense is lacking solidity at the back, expect they will not keep a clean sheet.

 

Last Ten Head to Head often seeing more than 4 goals per game

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

OVER 3.5 goals

​Italian Serie A -- Torino vs Juventus Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

On Saturday, Juventus will face the host Torino at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

 

Torino

Torino come into this match after a 1-1 draw in Serie A against Empoli. Torino's offense has not been as productive recently. Just four goals have been scored against them in their last six games. They also have had nine goals scored against them in those contests. Torino have failed to win at home in their last tow league game.

 

Juventus

Juventus will be hoping for a better outcome this time after their last Champions League meeting against Maccabi Haifa ended in defeat. In five of their previous six games, they have been scored against, giving up a total of eight goals. Juventus just hasn't been very reliable on defense. For the previous six league games, they have failed to win on the road.

 

Prediction

Torino will have to put in a lot of effort as a unit to score against this Juventus club, who will probably win and may even keep a clean sheet.

 

 

Pick: Juventus Draw No Bet

UEFA Europa League - Feyenoord v Midtjylland

 

 

Analysis:

Group F of the Europa League is still wide open, all 4 teams are on exactly 4 points with Feyenood leading the group just on goal differences. Today I expect Feyenoord to prevail without too much troublesome from visitor Danish side Midtjylland as they are not so strong away from home.

 

Feyenoord was a bit lucky from last week's away game at Midtjylland with a late draw denying an away win. Today back at home, I am going to expect an easy home win. Odds on home win at 1.55 average is in line with my expectation. This game Feyenoord should also be able to clear off the Asian Handicap at -1

 

Recommendation:

 

Home win - (High Stake Single)

 

Asian Handicap - Feyenoord (-1)

 

Anytime goal scorer - Danilo

 

J1 League / Vissel Kobe vs Shonan Bellmare

 

 

Analysis:

Vissel Kobe will be facing away side Shonan Bellmare at NOEVIR Stadium Kobe in this J1 League game on Wednesday.

 

Vissel Kobe

Their most recent results reveal that much solidity has been shown by the Vissel Kobe backline. Vissel Kobe have kept it tight, with the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their last 6 outings standing at 4. That pattern might not be carried forward here, of course.

 

Shonan Bellmare

Satoshi Yamaguchi's Shonan Bellmare have slotted home 6 times throughout their previous 6 matches. The number of goals that have been scored against them during that period adds up to 6.

 

Verdict:

Vissel Kobe recently won four games in a row and they are in great shape. The 1x2 first odds is 2.20-3.25-3.25, which means support the home team. Vissel Kobe should win this game.

 

Vissel Kobe-0.25

UEFA Champions League / Paris Saint Germain (PSG) vs Benfica

 

 

Analysis:

There’s Champions League action happening on Tuesday as PSG come up against Benfica.

 

Paris Saint Germain (PSG)

Their latest results really do illustrate the point that it has been a great time for the Paris Saint-Germain rearguard. Paris Saint-Germain have been mean at the back, with the number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous 6 outings standing at 3.

 

Benfica

A succession of dependable performances by the Benfica defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their previous 6 outings in total. Over that same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 13. That pattern won’t necessarily follow through into this game, though.

 

Verdict

Both sides have been in excellent form recently, but PSG is undoubtedly the better side. The 1x2 first odds is 1.36-5.25-7.00, which means support the home team. PSG should win this game.

 

PSG-1.5

English Premier League - Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

English Premier League round 10 will end in a game between Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa on Monday.

 

Nottingham Forest

After 23 years, they return to EPL. However, they have yet to adjust to the League, as evidenced by their last-place league standing of 1W-1D-6L. They have a defense that is so porous that they have given up 2.63 goals per game on average this season.

 

Aston Villa

They are marginally superior to Forest. They invested a lot of money in the transfer window, but it shows little effect. They currently hold the sixteenth spot in the League table with a record of 2W-2D-4L. They have a recent three-game unbeaten run.

 

Verdict:

The last time they met was in 2019. Forest lost to Villa 1-3 at that time. Considering that forest are in a poor state with a losing streak while Villa are on an unbeaten run, Villa are expected to win in the upcoming game.

 

Pick: 2
