I believe this is a battle for 3 points between the main relegation rivals; at least, this is the impression formed over the first few rounds! The teams have not yet recorded any wins this season, and there is no doubt that they will come into this match fully charged to claim 3 points, which means ... Show more

The first leg ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of LASK, although the game was essentially boring; the teams simply converted their rare scoring chances! To be honest, this is a very difficult match to predict—the teams are approximately of the same level, and I have no idea what to expect from the... Show more

Sheriff Tiraspol secured an acceptable draw for themselves on the islands, and now are rightly considered clear favorites at home! In Moldova, Sheriff Tiraspol are a formidable force; not long ago, Maccabi Haifa, BATE, and Farul were beaten here! Now they need to deal with the upstart who has alread... Show more

Din. Zagreb won the first match with a comfortable 3:1 score, and now the question is whether Sparta Prague can come back at home in Prague. Why not! Sparta Prague is quite a powerful team that, backed by its supporters at home, will rush to fight back from the first minutes, and scoring two goals i... Show more

In the first meeting, Aris, trailing 0:2, still managed to get on the scoresheet, thereby retaining good chances of getting past Slovan Bratislava! But I still would not bet on the Cypriot champions, as Slovan Bratislava are an experienced European competition side that may well find a way to deal w... Show more

Ajax crushed the local team 4:1 in Bulgaria, and the second leg is purely a formality! But I don't believe that Ajax's players will merely go through the motions at the Johan Cruyff Arena! On the contrary, in front of their home crowd, they will want to thrash Ludogorets once again, while a consolat... Show more

Both teams are in poor form, so it is difficult to give either of them preference! It is unclear which lineups the teams will field and whether Fedotov will release the Army Men’s young reserves. For me, the favorites are the Army Men, but until I see the lineup, I will not even risk predicting the ... Show more

The arrival of the Russian champion in Kaliningrad is certainly a major event for the local fans, and there is no doubt that the stadium will be full! But the fans’ support is unlikely to help Baltika, as the champion has found its winning rhythm, and few teams in the RPL can stop it now! Both teams... Show more

After Tashuev was replaced by Romashchenko in the dugout, the Grozny footballers started moving around the pitch much faster and showed great commitment, which led to a big 4:0 win over Orenburg and a 0:0 draw at Otkritie Bank Arena against Spartak, although the Grozny side created plenty of goalsco... Show more

The teams produced a rather lively match in the first leg, drawing 2:2—a real déjà vu, since in 2022 the opponents also drew 2:2 in the Champions League qualifying final in Glasgow! Judging by the logic of déjà vu, Rangers should win 1:0 in the return leg in Eindhoven, but I am sure that will not ha... Show more

What can be said about the first match? At home, Antwerp won narrowly 1:0, but in terms of the game they were undoubtedly lucky to escape, as the Greek AEK looked better and logically should have at least avoided defeat, but logic and sport are incompatible things! In Athens, AEK are the favorites, ... Show more

After two rounds played in the cup, Pari NN have just 2 points, while Krasnodar have none at all! Of course, the visitors are logical favorites and should beat the weaker opponent, but that is only if Ivic fields his strongest lineup—and what if he does not? We can take another, more interesting rou... Show more

In the first match, with the score 2:1 in Braga's favor, the Greeks finally managed to pull one back in the 95th minute, thereby preserving a decent chance of progressing past Braga! Why do I say decent? Because the Greeks looked quite good in Lisbon, while the return leg will take place in Athens, ... Show more

The first leg produced an unexpected final score of 0:0; it was very boring, with practically no chances, which is very strange since both teams advocate an attacking style of play! To be honest, it is difficult even to predict how the second leg will unfold: will they play just as cautiously, or wi... Show more

In Norway, the teams engaged in a shootout, and despite the hosts leading 22:6 in shots, Galatasaray somehow snatched a 2:3 victory. The Turks showed impressive finishing!

Napoli are the reigning champions of Italy, who managed to keep the team’s key leaders during the transfer window, so another strong season from the Neapolitans should be expected!

Lazio suffered an embarrassment in the first round, when they were leading Lecce 1:0 but ultimately conceded 2 goals in 2 minutes right at the very end of the match and lost! Serie A newcomer Genoa were thrashed 1:4 by the violets, and it became clear that Genoa will be fighting for survival this se... Show more

The Bats started the season very well, securing two wins in La Liga, although they did not show anything special in terms of their performance! Today, Valencia face Osasuna, who are tired after the game against Brugge in the Conference League, and the Bats' chances of winning once again look promisi... Show more

Juventus played the first-round match quite impressively, thrashing Udinese 3:0 away! Bologna, on the other hand, lost 0:2 to Milan at home—class told there, as they say! What can I say, initially I was interested in picking Bologna to win on yellow cards, but then I thought, why reinvent the wheel!... Show more

Fiorentina lost 0:1 to local Rapid in Vienna in the Conference League, while playing with their main squad! Now a strong Lecce will come to Florence, which will be happy to play on the counterattack!

Both teams leave an ambiguous impression at the start of the season, so it is very difficult to predict the winner in this matchup!

A Bavarian derby where the favorite according to the bookmakers is not just obvious; in their opinion, Bayern Munich had already won before the game even started, with odds of 1.08 on the home win. I also have not the slightest doubt that Bayern Munich will win, but taking a huge negative handicap o... Show more

The newcomer to the Premier League’s chances of avoiding a thrashing are, of course, to park the bus! For those who don’t know, parking the bus means having the whole team defend their goal! And something tells me there won’t be a thrashing! Manchester City have won everything possible; they are lik... Show more

French champions Paris SG have been unable to win for 2 rounds in a row, with 2 draws against mid-table Ligue 1 teams, but there are logical explanations for this: the team is rebuilding, newcomers have arrived, and star leaders such as Messi, Neymar, Ramos and others have left; well, I think you al... Show more

Marseille look poor at the start of the season; their elimination from the Champions League by Greek side Panathinaikos alone says a lot!

In the opening round, AC Milan beat Bologna 2:0 away from home, showing good readiness for the season! Torino played out a boring 0:0 draw with debutants Cagliari! In this match, I do not see much chance for the visitors! They will surely sit deep in their penalty area from the first minutes and try... Show more

The hosts made a good start to the season, winning in the cup and the Italian league! But last season, Verona miraculously retained their place in Serie A, and now the experienced Marco Baroni has taken charge of the team, setting a pragmatic style of play for his team! AS Roma drew 2:2 with Salerni... Show more

The hosts have scored in 10 consecutive matches, including friendlies, which shows that Frosinone are not a pragmatic team and also do not forget to attack—in the previous round, they even scored away against the champions, Napoli! As for Atalanta, they have been a team promoting an attacking style ... Show more

Both clubs had an unsuccessful start to the season, being eliminated from the Coppa Italia and losing in the first round of Serie A! Therefore, in their head-to-head encounter, the result will come first as they seek to earn their first points; an open game is not to be expected! Surely, we will see... Show more

Sevilla started the season very poorly, having won the Europa League, losing two matches in La Liga and the UEFA Super Cup!

Both teams started the season very poorly: the hosts lost in the first 2 rounds, while the visitors managed to snatch a draw once and lost once!

In the previous round, Cadiz CF came close to heroically holding Barcelona to a draw, but conceded in the 82nd minute and consequently lost; in any case, they left a pleasant impression over the first 2 rounds played! Almeria lost 2 matches in a row, and I think they will come into this game with th... Show more

As soon as I saw this sign, my first thought was that there would be plenty of goals! B. Monchengladbach had a 4:4 shootout with Augsburg in the first round, while Bayer Leverkusen beat Leipzig 3:2 in style. The opponents regularly play high-scoring matches against each other in their head-to-head m... Show more

The hosts have reached the Bundesliga for the first time in history, and today they will play their first home match, where they will undoubtedly give 100% and score at least one goal!

Two teams that are approximately equal in class, mid-table Bundesliga sides, are facing each other, and in my view the chances are 50-50, so I am passing on the match result!

At the start of the season, Bochum look like cannon fodder: they conceded 5 goals against Stuttgart and 2 against Arminia, the one from the 3rd Bundesliga. Bochum’s defense is a complete sieve! Does anyone doubt that the visitors’ powerful attack will score at least 2 goals? I personally have no dou... Show more

The Seagulls are clear favorites, and bookmakers have set a modest 1.54 odds on their win, but were they wrong? The Hammers are the Conference League winners, while Brighton are not a top club to be made such a strong favorite! Yes, Brighton have two big wins by the same score of 4:1 over debutants ... Show more

Both teams have 0 points after two rounds played and are consequently at the very bottom of the league table! The first points are urgently needed by both sides, but I believe the Toffees have a better chance of taking 3 points, mainly because the game will be played at "Goodison Park". In the first... Show more

The Red Devils made an ambiguous start to the new season: in the first round, they earned a hard-fought 1:0 win over Wolverhampton, while in the second they comprehensively lost to Tottenham 0:2. Just 1 goal scored in 2 games — it’s not very serious for such a great club! But today their favorite cl... Show more

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this fixture was Under the total. Why? First, throughout the history of their head-to-head meetings—and there have been 4 of them—more than 2 goals have never been scored in a game! Second, Crystal Palace under Roy Hodgson is a purely pragmatic team focus... Show more
