I think that this time Dynamo Moscow will manage to put a spoke in Krasnodar’s wheels, taking revenge for the events of two years ago. Essentially, this game will say a lot, if not everything, about the championship.
It is interesting that Spartak Moscow's games with Rubin Kazan tend to produce a great many yellow cards. Today, the referee is also one who gives out a lot of cards. Quite plausible.
Chelestini was fired, which did not help in the Cup match against Spartak. CSKA Moscow are terrible these days and have not scored more than one goal for a long time. But the "favorable opponent" rule is still in effect — CSKA Moscow regularly score two goals against Pari NN.
At home, Akron Togliatti rarely go without BTTS. The game against Krasnodar was an exception, but the Bulls were openly cautious due to the title race. The story is different with FK Rostov — their motivation for the season is simple: not to drop below 10th place.
Bet 2/3. Yellow cards in the second halves of El Clásico are simply inevitable. Real Madrid are fired up, while Barcelona have character. Without a doubt, I would bet on a sending-off if that were an option here.
Bet 1/3. The odds for the match are tiny, but you can take a risk and bet on the first half.
Usually, corners come in batches at the beginning of El Clásico.
Arsenal need to win — the title race has entered the final stretch. I don’t think the Gunners will break through the opponent’s defense right away. They will probably have to work hard around the penalty area. But their superiority is beyond dispute.
I think the trend in the head-to-head meetings wi... Show more
Bilbao has not faced any top teams this season yet. One could be misled by the illusion that Athletic are good and can cause trouble. So let’s test it. But I am skeptical about it.
Stuttgart has been perhaps the most difficult opponent for Dortmund in recent years. However, Dortmund already dropped points against weak Hamburg in the previous round. They will have to step it up. I won’t bet on the match result, but I will go for the classic.
Bayern Munich rarely play high-scoring matches with Freiburg, and not much time has passed since the international break, which also leads to sluggish football. I think Munich will settle for a low-scoring victory by a couple of goals.
The Norwegian machine is in good form and, after scoring a brace against Italy, has had almost a week to rest. Newcastle can, of course, cause problems, but lately the Magpies have been producing lackluster results. The bet seems obvious.
Sunderland, a tough Championship side, plays entertainingly, sometimes with defensive blunders, but they are good in attack. Fulham is unlikely to sit back — the opponent is not the right one. I expect both teams to score.
Liverpool started the season sensationally—the champion's defeats followed one after another. The problems are obvious on all fronts. Meanwhile, Nottingham began showing signs of life. The change of coach is already bearing fruit. I think both teams to score is a perfectly acceptable option.
Wolves are terrible this season. 2 points in 11 rounds. If Crystal Palace have any ambitions for this season, they absolutely have to beat such opponents.
In the last five rounds, the bet failed only once for West Ham. Otherwise, 12–15 corners were taken per game. The last three head-to-head meetings also went over on corners comfortably.
Chelsea are in good form and have historically played strongly away against Burnley. I expect the Blues to score at least three goals. But after the international break, an upset is also possible, so with insurance.
A risky bet, considering the teams' recent results. At the same time, it should be noted that in the autumn, the teams' head-to-head meetings turn into an anomalous spectacle (5-7 goals). I'll place a modest "over" bet.
Mainz are very poor this season. After 10 rounds, they are second-bottom. Hoffenheim, on the other hand, have firmly settled in the upper half of the table and look decent. Quite so.
Both teams failed to qualify. In the end, Kosovo goes into the playoffs. What a surreal situation. All that remains is to show some good football in the end.
Spain have already guaranteed their qualification from first place (the Turks will not score 7 goals, obviously), but they will not drop out of the playoffs either. I have a feeling it will be an exciting, open game with space on the flanks. I’m backing corners.
In the previous game, the Poles somehow scored just 2 goals. 28 shots, 12 of them on target. I think Lewa and the rest will have a field day this time.
It is unlikely that the Poles will score 12 unanswered goals against Malta, but it is better to play it safe. The Dutch are fun guys. I think they will put on a beautiful final match.
A battle for direct qualification for the World Cup. The game will be cautious; it is unlikely that either team will want to take risks. Germany, with problems in the squad, will be satisfied with a draw. Slovakia, on the other hand, needs only a win. Considering how pragmatic this team is, even if ... Show more
A match that decides nothing anymore: the Irish will not make it to the World Cup. All that remains is to finish their participation on a high note, especially while playing at home.
Both teams are fighting for the World Cup play-offs, and perhaps they can take advantage of the Portuguese fluctuations and even qualify directly for the final stage. The bet is actually risky, as Ireland have been good in defense lately — they recently beat Portugal without conceding. Nevertheless,... Show more
This match is interesting because Portugal has not yet guaranteed qualification for the World Cup — Hungary is breathing down their necks. At the same time, the national team will be without Ronaldo today, who was sent off in the previous round. He is unquestionably a key figure. I expect a chaotic ... Show more
The English have already secured their place at the World Cup with plenty to spare. It is unlikely that they will go all out to score 5 goals, but I definitely expect a couple.
First of all, the French have already settled everything and are heading to the World Cup from 1st place in the group. Secondly, Azerbaijan are stronger at home than away. Therefore, I won't get involved in handicaps or totals. But cards are just what the doctor ordered. There are never too few of t... Show more
Although Israel has not looked like a strong team in recent years, they should of course win. They managed an easy 0-4 away victory. However, Moldova are unlikely to leave much space at home and will try to slow the game down. Even so, I hope to see three goals in the match.
Norwegians led by Haaland have become a goal-scoring machine. At the same time, the Italians, who also score quite a lot, have kept clean sheets in their recent games. It will be interesting to see whether they can contain the Scandinavian attack this time. After all, they failed to do so last time ... Show more
Apparently, I missed something. But both national teams have been playing high-scoring matches lately. I think they won’t let us down today either. Such odds for three goals in the game? Feels like a catch...
Away in the first half, the Danes scored 4 goals against the Belarusians. And in general, Belarus concedes plenty in the first halves. I think the Danes will also try to secure the result in the first half today.
The game will be a tight one. There are unlikely to be many goals — it's not these teams' style. But they get a decent number of corners. That's what I'll bet on.
