Despite being the main match of the round and a huge fixture, I do not expect Inter–Napoli to produce an abundance of goals. Napoli play very cautiously in defence, and Inter also have good, experienced defenders in the starting lineup. I do not think the match will delight us with many goals.
Sochi are playing at home. They have scored 12 goals in their last 5 matches. Rubin Kazan are struggling and are playing away. I think Sochi will manage to score at least 2 goals in this match.
Real Madrid is undoubtedly the favorite in this match and has played much better away from home this season. But despite this, they do not win away by a huge margin, and I especially do not think they can thrash a Granada CF side like this. I think the home team will be able to put up a fight in thi...

Freiburg has looked very good this season, with only one defeat. A win over Eintracht will provide firm consolidation in 3rd place and a fight with the top teams, and in the future, qualification for the Champions League. I think Freiburg definitely will not lose at home.
Besiktas is undeservedly the favorite. The league table and the teams' form show that the teams are evenly matched at this stage. Alanyaspor play quite well at home and are capable of scoring against such Besiktas. I think both teams will score.
Despite all the difficulties, Barcelona have a decent advantage at home. I think Xavi and Alves joining the team have given the young players confidence. The mistakes need to be corrected.
Lazio are the best home team this season. Juventus have obvious problems, compounded by the absence of key players. I think Lazio will not drop points.
Dortmund fans have not seen their team win for almost a month; moreover, Borussia are currently the best home team, scoring an average of 2.5 goals. I think that even without Haaland, they will manage to score quite a few goals.
Many Atalanta players have returned from the World Cup, and there are some insignificant absences. Overall, the hosts look a cut above their opponents, but they have to travel to Switzerland in 3 days, so this may cause some lack of focus. However, they need to earn points. The visitors score consis... Show more
Lokomotiv have a lot of key absences. Their defense is falling apart and they have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 5 matches. On top of that, they still have to play against Lazio. Akhmat Grozny are not exactly a high-scoring team, but they often trouble top teams. I think both team... Show more
The first game after the break. Chelsea are objectively a cut above, but they have a match against Malmö in 3 days. I don't think Leicester will be able to put up much of a fight against Chelsea, considering their defensive problems, but they may score a goal.
The Australian league is renowned for the abundance of goals scored. The tournament has just started, and I think everyone wants to get off to a good start. I think the match will be high-scoring.
KV Mechelen’s form over the last 5 matches is slightly better than Club Brugge KV’s, and the home advantage also plays a role. Club Brugge KV need to prepare for their next Champions League match against Leipzig. I think the hosts will at least avoid defeat, and both teams are capable of scoring.
Zenit have many personnel absences, plus many players are exhausted after the World Cup. NN are playing rather poorly, but against the top teams in the league they give 100%. I think the match will be high-scoring; let’s take BTTS + TO.
Belgium have secured qualification from the group, and they have not fielded their strongest starting lineup. I think they will play at half pace. Wales need a win, so they will try to score.
Tunisia need a win to advance, and their home-stadium statistics work in their favor. Zambia lost to their opponents at home 2-0, so I don't think they will be able to put up much resistance away from home. We are taking H1 (-1) without risk.
The hosts no longer need anything and concede quite a lot, so there are problems with their defense. The visitors, on the other hand, desperately need a win and will have a chance to advance from the group. I think the Equatorial Guineans will attack a lot, and for insurance we take IT2O (1).
Once again, qualification from the group is at stake. Nigeria only need a draw, so they will do everything they can to withstand Cape Verde's pressure. They will catch them on the counterattack, score, and then shut the game down. I don't think there will be many goals.
This match will decide who advances from the group. The visitors look slightly stronger, especially with Haller in attack, but it should not be forgotten that Cameroon are playing at home. I think this match will end in a high-scoring draw.
Algeria have enough experienced and good players in their squad, which cannot be said about the visitors. Moreover, the hosts are ruthless at home, and they also need a win to qualify.
The Saudis are not the main favorites, but they are definitely contenders to qualify for the World Cup. Vietnam, on the other hand, are playing extremely poorly. There are still 5 matches to play, so I think Saudi Arabia will not miss the opportunity against such a weak opponent.
Egypt have already qualified, so they have nothing left to prove. A number of key players will most likely be absent and will probably remain rested ahead of the club championships. Therefore, Handicap 2 (1.5); with some risk, you can also take Handicap 2 (1).
