Today’s menu features the French Cup, the Round of 32, which Saint-Philbert reached purely by chance. In the previous round, they defeated Pau in a penalty shootout. Quevilly Rouen play in the 3rd division and have considerably more match practice. I don’t know how the match will end, but I believe ... Show more
Nottingham has climbed high this season. A good balance between attack and defense. Brentford plays entertainingly at home, scores themselves, and does not forget to concede. Their last 5 home games went Over. Nottingham is not falling behind; 4 of their 5 away matches were high-scoring. Good chance... Show more
No matter how poorly things are going for City, they still remain contenders for high places. Yes, they have forgotten how to win, but the Citizens remember how to score and will score 1-2 of their own goals. Aston Villa are active in attack at home and do not leave the pitch without scoring. I expe... Show more
Northern Ireland is on today’s agenda.
Loughgall are the worst team in the league and are languishing at the bottom. If they occasionally manage to produce something in attack, their defense is simply a disaster. The average match total is over 3 goals. Their last 5 home matches went Over, and the t... Show more
Today, two clubs from the bottom of the table will meet in the Croatian HNL. The teams’ average total per match is 2.35 and 2.7, respectively. An amazing fact — Gorica earned all 15 of its points at home. The teams are basically equal in terms of play, and I cannot identify a favorite for the match.... Show more
Let's continue betting on the French Cup.
Rouen are a mid-table team in the 2nd league, with no prospects of promotion. The only way to make their mark is the cup. Lille are contenders for medals in the 1st League. The last 5 matches have been unbeaten. There is unlikely to be any rotation today — t... Show more
France, 1/32 of the cup.
The teams are different in class, yes, and basically in everything). Annecy are 5th in the 2nd league, are on a good unbeaten run, and look quite good away from home. The only thing that worries me is that they won their 1/64 cup match on penalties after playing out regular ... Show more
I do not expect many goals from this match at all. Levante play very cautiously away from home, do not score that many, but also do not concede that many. In the last 5 away matches, the bet won 4 times (I am not counting the cup match). Albacete try to settle everything in the 1st half and often go... Show more
Segunda, 20th round
Granada CF will host Cartagena, which is at the very bottom of the league table. Cartagena looks rather weak away from home, with just 6 points in 10 games and an average of 1.9 goals conceded per match. Granada CF are 10th, but the table is so tightly packed that a win could mov... Show more
Denmark, the cup quarter-final, the second leg.
The first game ended in a high-scoring 2:2 draw. They score a lot in the league, and they also concede quite a few — 2.88 and 3.05 goals per match. It is difficult for both clubs to achieve anything in the league, but in the cup they should make an eff... Show more
The league leader, Olympiacos Piraeus, will travel to Athens to face the team at the bottom of the table. I expect an attacking game, as the teams’ average total per match is 2.64 and 2.57 respectively. The teams differ in both squad composition and class. Olympiacos Piraeus should win the match and...

The teams played 2 matches each in the cup, and the average total per match is simply off the charts: 5.5 and 5 goals respectively. In September, the clubs played each other, and QPR U21 tore their opponents apart, winning 7:1. QPR U21 cannot boast a solid defense; in the Development League, they co... Show more
Today I’m backing the Czech Republic, where teams from the lower half of the table are facing each other. Karvina performs quite well at home. Of the 19 points collected, they earned 12 specifically in home matches. Both clubs have defensive problems — they concede more than they score, averaging 1.... Show more
Both clubs are at the bottom of the table, and their conceded-goals stats are simply awful: one averages 2.27 and the other 3 goals per match. The average total for the match also leaves much to be desired — 3 and 4.45 goals per match, respectively. The teams need to earn points, but with leaky defe... Show more
Inter are one of the leaders in the race for the Scudetto; the top of the table is very tight, and dropping points could negatively affect the team's position. Milan are traditionally strong away from home, scoring an average of 2 goals per match. Verona are a solid mid-table team and could cause a ... Show more
Antwerp climbed to 2nd place in the table, currently moving ahead of both Brugge and Anderlecht. They play quite confidently at home and last lost back in August to Mechelen, 0:1. Yes, the opponents are not among the top teams, but Dender cannot be considered one either. Including the cup, Dender ha... Show more
