08-26-23 | Torino v. AC Milan -0.75 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
AC Milan is eager to maintain their strong start to the season as they host Torino later today. With a bolstered squad featuring exciting talents, Milan stands as one of the favorites to contend for the league title. The club's owners have made notable improvements, fueling anticipation among fans for the promising season ahead. Following their 2-0 victory over Bologna in the season opener, Milan aims to secure another win on home turf and establish a two-game winning streak. On the contrary, Torino struggled to break through Cagliari's defense in their first match of the season, resulting in a draw. Recognizing the significant challenge posed by Milan, Torino faces a formidable task in this fixture. The odds of them avoiding a heavy defeat against the dominant hosts seem slim. Milan's recent form reflects their prowess, having scored ten goals in their last three matches while conceding only twice. This well-rounded performance across defense and attack indicates their readiness for a successful season. In contrast, Torino has managed just three goals in their last four matches, while conceding the same number. Their goalless draw in the season opener hints at potential scoring difficulties, making it difficult to envision them breaking down Milan's strong defense. Given AC Milan's array of top-tier attacking players, it's sensible to anticipate a victory for the Rossoneri by at least a two-goal margin in this match. |

08-26-23 | RKC Waalwijk v. NEC Nijmegen OVER 3 | 0-3 | Push | 0 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
In a clash between two struggling clubs in the Netherlands, NEC is set to host Waalwijk in the third round of matches in the Dutch top flight. Although both clubs had high hopes at the beginning of the season, their campaigns have taken a downturn, leaving their fans eager to witness their first victories of the season. Despite a promising showing in their final pre-season matches, NEC has suffered losses in both of their league games so far, conceding a total of six goals across these matches. Waalwijk, on the other hand, anticipated a tough season even during their pre-season, as they faced a series of losses. This trend has continued into the new league season, with the team losing their first two matches. Their last five matches have all ended in defeat, hinting at their struggles to secure victories. However, both clubs have demonstrated an ability to score goals. They have each found the back of the net in their last two games, with NEC scoring a total of four goals over this period. This suggests that this upcoming match has the potential to feature a fair amount of goals, and it's reasonable to expect at least four goals from the match. In summary, this game seems to be shaping up for a goal-filled encounter, and for me, the only bet to have is over 3 goals. |

08-26-23 | West Ham United +1.25 v. Brighton & Hove Albion | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
In an exciting matchup to look forward to this weekend, in-form Brighton will be hosting West Ham, as David Moyes' team aims to halt Brighton's current momentum. Last season, Brighton secured a place in the Europa League due to their fearless performances. Despite losing key players such as Lewi Colwill, Moises Caicedo, and Alexis Mac Allister, they currently sit at the top of the Premier League standings ahead of this upcoming game. On the other hand, West Ham lifted the Europa Conference League trophy before experiencing departures like Declan Rice and Gianluca Scamacca. Nevertheless, with Moyes now an even more seasoned coach, his team is expected to manage the departures effectively. Following their recent triumph over Chelsea, the Hammers will be aiming for another win. Both Brighton and West Ham remain unbeaten in their first two league matches. Brighton has been particularly impressive, securing victories with a combined goal tally of eight. West Ham, on the other hand, has recorded a draw and a win. Due to the formidable nature of Roberto de Zerbi's team, Brighton enters this game as the favorites, however, the Hammers are unlikely to succumb easily to Brighton's challenge and I expect the visitors to put on a good show. If Brighton does win, I doubt very much it will be by two clear goals, so backing West Ham +1 1/4 looks a solid bet to me. |

08-26-23 | Tromso v. Sarpsborg 08 OVER 3 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
Tromso is eager to distance themselves as much as possible from Molde in their quest to secure a final European spot on the Norwegian league table. The visitors have the players and form to make an impact in this game, but Sarpsborg, playing at home, will not make it easy for them to be defeated. Sarpsborg clinched a victory in their last match, which was played away from home. This success will likely boost their confidence, and their fans will undoubtedly support them in this game, hoping for a repeat performance. Their recent 3-0 win against Odd marked only their second victory in five games, but scoring goals hasn't been a concern. Sarpsborg has found the back of the net in each of their last five matches, suggesting that Tromsø should not expect to keep a clean sheet in this encounter. Conversely, Tromso enters this fixture riding a four-game winning streak, positioning them just five points behind the league's top spot. Across these victories, they have scored seven times, with two matches featuring over 3.5 goals. Given Sarpsborg's tendency to consistently score even in matches they don't win, this game is poised to feature numerous goals. It's reasonable to predict that both sides will find the net and between them, we will see at least four goals. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Wolverhampton Wanderers v. Everton UNDER 2.5 | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 47 m | Show | |
Both Everton and Wolves appear destined for a challenging season, particularly due to their lack of goal-scoring prowess, especially in recent times. In the current season's initial two matches, Everton has been unable to find the back of the net, while Wolves managed this feat only once, during their 4-1 defeat against Brighton. The beginning of the season has seen Everton and Wolves reflect each other's struggles. They both conceded four goals last week and experienced defeats in their opening games, each with a one-nil scoreline. This pattern demonstrates their ability to defend to a certain extent when necessary, but it also exposes their vulnerability to conceding goals. Had either team been up against an opponent with a strong offensive record, I wouldn't be confident in predicting a low-scoring match. However, since they are facing each other, it's difficult to envision anything other than a defensive-oriented, low-scoring encounter. If a winner emerges from this match, it's likely to be by a narrow one-goal margin. I lack confidence in the possibility of both teams scoring or either of them scoring two or more goals. Considering these factors, the logical choice for this match is to bet on under 2.5 goals. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Leicester v. Rotherham United OVER 2.75 | 2-1 | Win | 52.5 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
Upon analyzing this fixture and considering the performances witnessed this season, my clear choice is to opt for over 2.75 goals. Rotherham has shown a consistent tendency to score. While they might not always emerge victorious, they frequently manage to find the back of the net, especially in their home matches. Looking at their recent track record in the Championship, they've scored in eight out of their last nine home games. Going even further back, they've managed to score in 15 out of their last 18 home matches. This clearly indicates that Rotherham seldom fails to score in front of their home crowd. Leicester, having won all three of their opening Championship games, is evidently determined to make a swift return to the Premier League. This determination translates into an offensive approach, as they consistently play on the offensive front. Even in the previous season when Leicester faced relegation, their ability to score remained intact. The primary issue lay in their defensive shortcomings, an aspect they appear to have improved upon in the current season. In essence, we have a home team that regularly finds the net pitted against an in-form side that boasts a strong attacking approach. These ingredients strongly suggest the potential for a high-scoring match. In light of these factors, I am betting on over 2.75 goals for this match. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Tottenham Hotspur -0.5 v. AFC Bournemouth | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 47 m | Show | |
Bournemouth's season has started with a slow pace, securing only a single point from their initial two games. This indicates that the Cherries might be in for a challenging campaign ahead. Conversely, Tottenham has managed to gather four points out of a potential six, including an impressive 2-0 victory against Manchester United. Evidently, a transformation is underway within the club. Though Bournemouth's performance hasn't been completely lacking, it has brought their limitations to the forefront. While they will have opportunities against Tottenham, they are well aware that Spurs will likely control possession and take numerous shots on target. Believing that Bournemouth could prevent Tottenham from scoring is overly optimistic. The reality is that they are unlikely to achieve that, and conceding is more probable. The question remains: How many goals can Bournemouth score, and is it realistic to expect them to surpass their opponents' score today? From what I've observed this season, I find it difficult to imagine Bournemouth successfully keeping Tottenham from scoring or surpassing them in goals. This is why I am confidently supporting the away team to secure all three points today and clinch the victory. I am backing Tottenham to win. |
|||||||
08-25-23 | Luton Town v. Chelsea -1.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
It is easy to look at Chelsea and see them as a club in crisis, but that is conflating last season with the start of this season, and that gives a false impression of what is actually happening with the club. They are in transition under a new manager in Maurizio Pochettino, and there were always going to be teething problems. Yes, they did lose last week, and that second half against West Ham was very poor. However, that game could have gone a very different way if Chelsea had taken their chances, and they will improve. They are back at home for this game, and in their only previous home game this season, they held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw. In all fairness, they were unlucky not to come out of that game with the win. Results to date do not look too healthy for Chelsea, but they will improve as every game passes. They could not ask for better opponents than Luton Town to bounce back from a loss. Luton will almost certainly be relegated this season. They really are out of their depth, and their opening game of the season loss to Brighton shows that. They were thumped 4-1, and that is the sort of scoreline I see happening again today. Luton will occasionally put in some fighting performances and may even spring the odd surprise, but against the big teams, I cannot see anything other than heavy losses. I do expect Chelsea to beat them convincingly today. Take Chelsea to win and cover the spread. |
|||||||
08-25-23 | Bristol City v. Hull City -0.25 | 1-1 | Loss | -50 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Hull City have made a promising start to their Championship campaign, securing two victories from their first three matches. Their sole defeat occurred in their opening fixture against Norwich, where a contentious last-minute goal resulted in their loss. Following the initial defeat, Hull bounced back with a 4-2 victory over Sheffield Wednesday and a 2-1 away win against Blackburn Rovers. Their recent performance at home has been impressive, maintaining an unbeaten streak over five matches, which undoubtedly instills confidence heading into this game. On the other hand, Bristol City has accumulated four points from their initial three Championship games. Their record includes one win, one draw, and one loss. The team started their campaign with a draw and a win, but their most recent match at home ended in a 2-0 defeat against Birmingham City. This loss has halted the modest momentum they were building. Considering the performance of both teams thus far in the season, Hull's home advantage and strong recent track record, coupled with Bristol City's recent home loss, I am inclined to predict that Hull will secure a victory and cover the spread in today's match. |
|||||||
08-25-23 | Stuttgart v. RB Leipzig -1 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
A couple of weeks ago, it would have been easy to mark this game down as an easy home win for RB Leipzig. However, a week is a long time in football, and while I do expect Leipzig to win and cover the spread, last week's results have at least made the odds of Leipzig covering the spread a little more attractive. Leipzig smashed Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup and came out of the game looking like credible title challengers. However, their first Bundesliga game of the season saw them lose 3-2 away from home at Bayer Leverkusen, bringing them firmly back down to earth. Stuttgart currently sits at the top of the Bundesliga, albeit after just one game, after thrashing Bochum 5-0. They will no doubt come into this match full of confidence. However, we need to be realistic here. Stuttgart will not be title challengers, and they are very unlikely to even be in contention for a European spot. They will soon be playing as we expect them to. Last season, Stuttgart barely escaped relegation and finished a whopping 33 points and 13 places below Leipzig. They have also lost eight of the ten meetings with Leipzig, drawing the other two. There is a significant gulf in class between these two teams, and with Leipzig losing last week, I expect them to be very determined to bounce back with a convincing home win. While Stuttgart will be boosted by their big win last week, they will crumble as soon as Leipzig grabs the lead, as I fully expect them to do. Take Leipzig to cover the spread. |
|||||||
08-24-23 | Sheriff +116 v. KI | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 1 m | Show | |
Klaksvikar is highly motivated to secure a spot in the group stage of the Europa League, following their elimination from the Champions League by Molde in the previous round. The team from the Faroe Islands should take pride in their accomplishment of reaching this phase of a European qualifier, presenting an opportunity to advance in Europe's secondary top-tier club competition. Their path to the group stage is challenged by Sheriff, a team that arrives in good form after eliminating noteworthy European opponents on their journey to this point. Sheriff aims to maintain their impressive momentum, but they are undoubtedly aware of Klaksvikar's performance thus far. Sheriff enters the upcoming match with an impressive record of four wins in their last five matches across all competitions, setting a strong foundation for success in the Faroe Islands. Additionally, their recent away form is commendable, having remained undefeated in three away games, securing two victories. While they achieved a draw in their last European away fixture, Sheriff's capabilities should suffice to overcome Klaksvikar in this encounter. Conversely, Klaksvikar's recent European home record has been less convincing, with just one victory in their last three matches played in front of their supporters. As they prepare to face Sheriff, their prospects of attaining even a draw appear challenging. In summary, the odds favor Sheriff due to their commendable form and track record against European opponents. Klaksvikar, on the other hand, will struggle to secure a positive result against the visiting team. Take Sheriff to win |
|||||||
08-24-23 | Ajax Amsterdam v. PFC Ludogorets Razgrad OVER 3 | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Ajax has experienced another challenging season, and their efforts are focused on securing a place in the Europa League group stage. However, Ludogorets poses a significant obstacle on their path to achieving this goal. Despite their status as one of the premier clubs in the Netherlands, Ajax endured a disappointing previous season that led to participation in the Europa League qualifiers. Nevertheless, Ajax has a history of mounting impressive comebacks, and they are determined to clinch a spot in the Europa League group stages. Bulgarian side Ludogorets should not be underestimated. While they have exhibited inconsistency lately with two losses and three wins in their last five competitive matches, they demand serious consideration. Ludogorets' home form is noteworthy, boasting an undefeated streak of five matches, with four victories. This record should indeed concern Ajax. On the other hand, Ajax's recent away performance has been less inspiring, including a draw in their last away game against Excelsior and no wins in their last five road trips, even including friendly matches. Nonetheless, Ajax has shown resilience, having remained unbeaten in their most recent two games. Their proficiency in scoring is evident, amassing a total of six goals in both of these matches. Ludogorets, too, has demonstrated their attacking prowess by finding the net 14 times in their last five matches. Anticipating a closely contested match, the expectation is for a high-scoring encounter, with both teams likely to contribute significantly to the goal tally. A combined total of at least four goals is envisaged in this fixture. Take over 3 goals |
|||||||
08-24-23 | Aberdeen v. Hacken -0.75 | 2-2 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
In-form Hacken is set to host Aberdeen in a crucial Europa League final qualifying match for the group stages, and both teams are determined to secure a victory and gain the desired first-leg advantage. Hacken enters this encounter with an impressive streak, having triumphed in all of their last four matches across various competitions. This positive form positions them favorably to attain another win in this fixture. Aberdeen, on the other hand, has encountered difficulties at the beginning of the season, although they managed a victory over Stirling in their recent League Cup game. While this outcome might boost their confidence, they are well aware that the caliber of Stirling is a far cry from the challenge they will face in this upcoming match. Hacken boasts an impressive record on their home turf, emerging victorious in six out of their last seven games in front of their home crowd. Their solitary defeat came during their recent Champions League qualifying matches. In contrast, Aberdeen remains unbeaten in away games this season. However, it's important to note that their opponents, Livingston and Stirling, do not possess the same level of quality that Hacken brings to the table. Considering these factors, Aberdeen can't be overly confident about their prospects in this fixture due to their less convincing away performances against weaker opponents. Hacken's home record is noteworthy, with only two losses in their last ten matches. The remaining eight games resulted in victories, further underlining their strength at home. This suggests that they are well poised to secure another win in this particular match. In summary, Hacken's formidable form, coupled with their solid home record, positions them as the more likely victors in this encounter against Aberdeen, despite the visitors' unbeaten away streak this season. Take Hacken to win and cover the spread |
|||||||
08-21-23 | Arsenal v. Crystal Palace OVER 2.75 | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 57 m | Show | |
Arsenal should win this game, but then they were expected to beat Nottingham Forest by a wide margin and barely hung on to a narrow 2-1 win at home. If they perform like that in this game, they may end up leaving Selhurst Park with dropped points. At the same time, if the Gunners reproduce their form from last season, they are more than capable of beating the Eagles by a decent margin. Herein lies the issue with an early-season game like this. Palace won their opening game of the season 1-0 away at Sheffield United and will therefore feel confident ahead of this fixture. However, they also know how unpredictable a game against Arsenal can be. For example, Arsenal defeated Palace 4-1 and 2-0 last season. However, the previous season saw Palace win 3-0 and draw 2-2 with Arsenal. You can now see the difficulty in predicting the outcome of this game, especially when trying to also land some decent odds. Backing Arsenal outright is not attractive at all, and the spreads just make it too risky a proposition. What is far more solid is the overs market. In the last 13 meetings between these two sides, no fewer than 10 have had over 2.75 goals, regardless of where the game is played. The Arsenal defense looked vulnerable in their opening game, and Palace always has the capability of finding the back of the net against any opposition. Of course, Arsenal has already shown how prolific they can be in front of the goal. It was a toss-up between going over 2.5 goals or over 2.75, and the value is going for the higher goal level simply because there is a good chance that this game will see more than 3 goals. |
|||||||
08-20-23 | Lillestrom v. Stromsgodset OVER 3 | 2-1 | Push | 0 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
There are merely six points that separate these two teams in the league, and this gap could potentially narrow even further today, especially since Stromgodset is the home team. However, the reality is that both of these teams have lacked consistency throughout this season, making this game quite unpredictable. Considering this, while it's a challenging task to predict an outright winner or even a side that will cover the spread, it doesn't imply that there are no other opportunities to consider in this specific game. In fact, my bet on this game today is based on the performances of Lillestrom rather than Stromgodset. One thing that's almost a certainty with games involving Lillestrom is the presence of goals. In their past seven competitive matches, six have witnessed at least three goals, regardless of the quality of the opponent. When dealing with a team that frequently participates in high-scoring matches, it's wise to follow that trend. That's precisely what I'm doing today by backing over 3 goals in this match. |
|||||||
08-20-23 | Sandefjord v. Tromso -1.25 | 0-1 | Loss | -50 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
The Norwegian title race is tightly contested between at least two teams, Bodo/Glimt and Viking. However, it could easily evolve into a three-team competition if Tromso manages to win today, considering they are just six points behind the leaders with a game in hand. Such a scenario provides a strong incentive for them to secure a victory. Tromso has been in good form, winning four out of their last five home games, with the remaining match ending in a draw. They have gained momentum and seem to have found their stride, which, combined with the support of their home fans, should lead them to give their all to secure all three points today. While Sandefjord did manage to secure an away win last week against Valerenga, it's important to note that this was their very first away win in the league this season. Their performance on the road has been consistently poor, and it's worth mentioning that they have suffered heavy defeats in away matches throughout this season. Despite the spread being set at a relatively high level, I don't foresee this being an issue for Tromso. I'm confident in backing them to win by at least a two-goal margin today. |
|||||||
08-20-23 | Stabaek v. Viking -1.25 | 0-1 | Loss | -52 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
Viking is currently tied at the top of the league table, with only goal difference separating them from Bodo/Glimt. They have impressively won nine consecutive matches in the league, including a recent victory over Bodo. Given this form, it's difficult to imagine them not making it ten straight wins. On the contrary, Stabaek's recent performance is quite the opposite. They have not won a single game in their last nine league matches, managing just two draws in that period. Their struggles put them in genuine contention for relegation. Every aspect of this match points towards a clear Viking victory, and it's likely to be a comprehensive one. The only question for me was how much Viking would win by and if they would cover the spread. With the spread set at just 1.25, it appears to be a generous opportunity. I would be very surprised if Viking does not emerge as victors by at least a two-goal margin. Everything seems to be in their favor for today's match. Take Viking -1.25. |
|||||||
08-20-23 | Everton v. Aston Villa -0.75 | 0-4 | Win | 101 | 4 h 26 m | Show | |
Both of these sides lost their opening day matches: Villa 5-1 away at Newcastle and Everton losing 1-0 at home to Fulham. Looking at those scores, it might be easy to assume that Villa is the team in more trouble. However, scorelines can be deceiving. Yes, Villa suffered a heavy defeat, but they are much better than the scoreline against Newcastle suggests. On the other hand, Everton is not performing well, and their 1-0 loss at home to Fulham is not a significant surprise. This season, Everton is likely to face struggles, while Villa will not. This distinction will become apparent in today's game. With the advantage of playing at home, Villa will also have an edge in today's match. The point spread has been set between 0.5 and 0.75 goals, and I'm confident that Villa will comfortably cover that spread. I don't see Everton getting anything out of this game. Back Villa -0.75. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Newcastle United v. Manchester City OVER 2.75 | 0-1 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
This match holds the promise of becoming a classic encounter. Newcastle displayed an astonishing performance against Aston Villa in the previous week. Despite my initial belief that the match would end in a draw, the Geordies convincingly secured a 5-1 victory. City, on the other hand, began their campaign with a remarkable 3-0 win against Burnley. Adding to their accomplishments, they clinched the Super Cup midweek. Playing in front of their home crowd after completing a treble last season, City is undoubtedly seeking to make a strong statement, especially against Newcastle. Given the style of play exhibited by both teams and the circumstances surrounding this game, it's difficult to foresee anything other than a substantial number of goals being scored. While City is expected to emerge as the winner, the outright win doesn't offer attractive value, and the point spread doesn't entice me either. With confidence, I'm placing my bet on there being over 2 3/4 goals in this game. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Manchester United v. Tottenham Hotspur | 0-2 | Win | 115 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Based on the first game of the season, I have to say that Tottenham looked like the far better side, and unless there is a marked improvement from the Red Devils, Spurs appear to be a solid bet for some sort of positive result today. United were poor against Wolves, a Wolves side that was in disarray, and was expected to be easily defeated. However, the truth of the matter is that they were very unlucky not to secure at least a draw and were the better team on the night. United must demonstrate improvement and do so quickly. Tottenham performed quite well away at Brentford, much better than most people expected. While the defense is still a work in progress, the midfield was dominant, and they created numerous chances. United should perform better and will have learned from the Wolves game. They should realize that replicating that performance today will lead to a loss. All things considered, purely based on how both teams performed in their opening games of the season, I am supporting the home side not to lose and most likely to pick up three points. That is why I am backing Spurs on the spread. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Valerenga v. Molde -1.25 | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
Molde has let me down recently but I am prepared to give them one more chance today, mainly because of the quality of their opponent. Valerenga has had an atrocious season, they are facing relegation, they are a whopping 18 points behind Molde and their away record season has not been good, despite picking up a win on the road last week. Molde are on a high after winning in the Champions League midweek and is just one two-legged match away from the group stages. Do not get me wrong, they are far from an elite side but compared with Valerenga, they are a lot better side. Molde have won their last six league games at home with four of those six games winning by at least two goals. I know that Valerenga need points desperately but so does Molde who sit one spot outside the European places and I just cannot see anything other than a home win. The question for me was, will Molde cover the spread, I am confident they will and am backing them to win this match, by at least two goals. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Sarpsborg 08 v. Odds BK OVER 3 | 3-0 | Push | 0 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
Upon my initial assessment of this game, one statistic immediately caught my attention, and that's the remarkable number of goals scored in the matches involving these two teams. Odd's last six games have witnessed at least three goals in five of them. Moreover, when considering Sarpsborg's last 17 games across all competitions, an astonishing trend emerges—every single one of these games has seen at least three goals scored. No matter how you analyze this game, the prominence of goals cannot be ignored. It's evident that a substantial number of goals are almost a certainty. Taking all the statistics into account, it's undeniable that there will be an abundance of goals in this game. This is precisely the bet I'm confident in backing and over 3 goals it is for me.. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Brentford v. Fulham OVER 2.5 | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
This is one of those games where either team could come out as the victor; a draw is also a plausible outcome. However, selecting a winner involves more than just guessing. Still, that doesn't mean there isn't a good opportunity to capitalize on. I find the bet for over 2.5 goals to be rock-solid. Brentford shouldn't have any trouble scoring; they demonstrated this last week against Tottenham. Even though Ivan Toney is still suspended, they have continued to find the back of the net consistently. Fulham hasn't been as prolific and only secured a one-nil victory last week. However, this had more to do with Everton's performance than Fulham's. Playing back on their home ground, goals tend to flow—this is evident from their last four home Premier League games in the previous season, where there were at least three goals in each match. Given Fulham's propensity for goals at home and a Brentford team that regularly finds the net, I believe the over 2.5 goals bet is the way to go. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Cardiff City v. Leicester -1 | 1-2 | Push | 0 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
The divergent beginnings of these two teams set the stage for what I anticipate will continue: Leicester City's winning streak continuing and Cardiff accumulating further point losses. With only two Championship matches played so far, Leicester has already made a statement with two victories, in contrast to Cardiff, which has managed just a single point from their two matches. I am strongly inclined to believe that the Foxes will secure promotion back to the Premier League this season, a sentiment I cannot express for Cardiff. This contrast should become evident in today's match. The spread has been established at -1 for Leicester, which seems appropriate. This led me to contemplate not whether they would cover the spread, but rather how many goals they would win. In my estimation, Leicester is much more likely to win by a margin of two goals than for the game to end in a draw. In simpler terms, I am confident that the spread will be covered. However, even in the less favorable scenario of Leicester winning by just a single goal, your stake would be returned. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Huddersfield Town v. Middlesbrough -0.75 | 1-1 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Middlesbrough lost their last Championship game 3-0, a game I actually watched and it has to be said that the scoreline flattered Coventry and Boro can consider themselves unlucky to have been on the end of a beating, they played better than the scoreline suggests. Huddersfield has lost both their Championship games so far and also lost in the League Cup, against today's opponents Middlesbrough though I do not put too much emphasis on that game because both sides did put out changed teams. Though it must be said, there is the mental side of the game to consider as well and Boro beating Huddersfield in the cup game will surely give Middlesbrough a confidence boost. With home advantage and the spread set below one goal, I see this as a solid and safe bet backing the home side to win and cover the spread. |

08-18-23 | West Bromwich Albion v. Leeds United +105 | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 52 m | Show | |
Leeds United host West Brom later today in pursuit of their first league victory of the season. The Whites have encountered challenges this season with multiple players expressing their desire to leave the club during the ongoing transfer window. This situation has presented a complex task for manager Daniel Farke. Farke, known for his adeptness at managing Championship clubs, particularly his past successes with Norwich, now faces a more demanding task at Leeds. While the transition has been tough, Leeds, recently relegated from the Premier League, still possesses players of the calibre required for top-tier English football. This fixture serves as a valuable opportunity for Leeds to secure their inaugural league win of the season, facing an opponent they are familiar with defeating. West Brom, who clinched victory in their previous game against Swansea, will be motivated to further excel in this encounter. However, the Baggies faced defeat in their two prior competitive matches and may struggle to evade another loss against Leeds. Historically, West Brom has found it challenging to compete against Leeds, having not won any of their last five head-to-head meetings, with four of those resulting in losses. This trend is likely to persist in this match. Leeds has maintained an undefeated record in their competitive home games this season, instilling them with confidence as they strive to extend their triumphant three-game home streak against West Brom. Take Leeds to win |

08-18-23 | Sheffield United v. Nottingham Forest -0.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Nottingham Forest lost their Premier League season opener against Arsenal 2-1 last weekend and would be eager to get a first win in this game. Crystal Palace defeated newcomers Sheffield United at their home to hand them a harsh lesson that the English top flight is a tough competition. Forest played well against Arsenal, especially in the second half. After they pulled one goal back, they took the game to the Gunners and nearly left the Emirates with a share of the spoils. That was not a bad start against one of the leading sides in the land and they will carry that into this game later today. Steve Cooper’s side survived relegation last season and looked in much better shape against Arsenal, even though they have not won any of their last five matches, four of which were pre-season games. United has also been in poor form, losing four of their last five matches and they will struggle this season that is for sure. Forest has a decent home record as many top teams have found out and they should have too much for Sheffield and I am very confident that Forest will win and cover the spread. |

08-18-23 | NEC Nijmegen v. Heracles Almelo OVER 3 | 1-2 | Push | 0 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
Both Heracles and Nijmegen encountered unfavorable beginnings to their league campaigns in the first week of the Dutch top flight, suffering defeats. This upcoming match provides them with the opportunity to showcase their potential and recover from their initial setbacks. Ajax delivered a resounding 4-1 victory against Heracles in their season opener and while that was a bad defeat, at least they found the back of the net, which is not always easy against Ajax. NEC, on the other hand, faced a 4-3 defeat at home against Excelsior in their first game. Eager to exhibit stronger defensive capabilities, they aim to display an improved showing in this encounter. Although it's early in the Dutch top-flight season, both clubs are undoubtedly eager to avoid starting their campaign with consecutive losses, recognizing the potential impact on their confidence. A notable aspect is the offensive prowess exhibited by both teams in terms of scoring goals. While they have demonstrated their scoring abilities, shoring up their defense remains a priority for both sides. Improvements in defensive strategies are needed, however, they are unlikely to be implemented fully before this match, and the likelihood of goals being scored remains high. Heracles has witnessed a total of 18 goals across their last five matches, and NEC has netted 13 goals in their most recent five games alone. With the potential for both sides to contribute to the goal tally, a prediction of more than three combined goals, with both teams finding the net, looks the best bet. |

08-17-23 | Astana v. PFC Ludogorets Razgrad OVER 2.5 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
Buoyed by their recent league victory over the weekend, Ludogorets aims to channel this momentum towards a triumph in their match against Astana, as they strive to secure qualification for the Europa League group stage. Having suffered a 2-1 defeat in the first leg, the home team is fully aware of the uphill battle they face. Conversely, Astana is presented with an opportunity to progress to the final qualification round and is determined to avoid any missteps in Bulgaria. Ludogorets comes into this encounter with back-to-back wins in their domestic league. However, their European campaign has been less successful, marked by a three-game winless streak. While this recent history might not instil an overwhelming sense of confidence, the fact remains that Astana has experienced three losses in four of its most recent competitive matches. This vulnerability should be a source of encouragement for the home side. Astana's away form mirrors their overall struggles, with three losses in their last four outings. Nevertheless, they demonstrated their attacking prowess in the first leg by netting twice, fostering optimism about their ability to find the net once again. Ludogorets has displayed an offensive edge, tallying nine goals in their previous three matches. This scoring trend points to a strong likelihood of them finding the back of the net in this fixture. Anticipating a response from the visitors, it's reasonable to expect a goal-laden encounter, with at least three goals anticipated in the match. |
|||||||
08-17-23 | Olympiacos v. Genk OVER 2.75 | 1-1 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
Having been eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers by Servette, Genk is now determined to secure a spot in the Europa League group stage. Their upcoming challenge pits them against the formidable Greek team Olympiacos, following a 1-0 loss to the Greeks in the first leg. This match presents an opportunity for Genk to alter their approach and potentially reverse the outcome. Though the task is daunting, they remain hopeful of turning the tide in their favor. Despite triumphing over Cercle Brugge over the weekend, Genk recognizes that Olympiacos poses a more formidable challenge. Having suffered three consecutive losses before the recent victory, Genk is eager to attain the win they require in this significant encounter. In recent matches, neither Genk nor Olympiacos have been prolific with goals but the dynamics of this two-legged match means that goals are a necessity for Genk and will be for Olympiacos if the Belgiums find the back of the net, which they should do at home. Genk has registered at least two goals in four of their last five home games, so the capability is certainly there and with that in mind, I am very confident that we will see at least three goals in this fixture. |

08-15-23 | Panathinaikos v. Marseille -1 | 1-2 | Push | 0 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
Marseille commenced their Ligue 1 campaign over the weekend with a 2-1 triumph against Reims and now aims to secure another crucial victory in this upcoming match. Their positive start to the season notwithstanding, Marseille faces a formidable challenge in their quest to progress to the next round of the Champions League. The narrow 1-0 defeat they endured in Greece during the initial leg of this fixture has intensified their determination to deliver an exceptional performance in this match, as they strive to advance in the UCL. While Panathinaikos exhibited their strength by securing a home victory in the reverse fixture, the task remains demanding, requiring them to elevate their performance to secure at least a draw in this encounter. Panathinaikos arrives on the back of an unbeaten streak spanning three games, effectively bolstering their strength as they undertake this challenging journey. However, Marseille is acutely aware of the magnitude of this game, especially within the confines of their formidable home ground. While OM experienced a home defeat in their last game of the prior season, they swiftly rebounded by prevailing over Reims with a 2-1 scoreline over the weekend. The significance of securing victory by a margin of at least two goals is not lost on them. Demonstrating their offensive prowess, Marseille has scored two or more goals in three out of their last five home games, setting a precedent they aim to surpass in this pivotal match. The unwavering support of their passionate fans further propels the French giants, presenting a formidable force that could potentially overcome their Greek counterparts and propel them to the next round. In conclusion, Marseille's eagerness to triumph, coupled with their home advantage and offensive capabilities, positions them favorably to surpass the challenge posed by the Greek team. With the backing of their fervent supporters, Marseille has a compelling opportunity to secure victory and progress to the subsequent stage of the competition. |

08-15-23 | Fleetwood Town v. Bolton Wanderers -1 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
Bolton is exhibiting strong determination to secure promotion from League One, and their impressive start to the current season bolsters their prospects, making it evident why they are likely to overcome Fleetwood Town. The home team's fans are poised to witness their team's ascent up the English football hierarchy, and this particular match presents a significant opportunity to continue their streak of victories. In contrast, Fleetwood Town enters this contest burdened by a concerning string of poor performances, having suffered defeats in their last two matches and failing to secure a victory in their past four encounters. This poor form positions them unfavorably to accumulate points from this upcoming match, leaving them to hope for containment against Bolton's potential onslaught. Beyond their strong start to the current season, Bolton boasts a favorable track record against Fleetwood, triumphing in their last three confrontations and securing victories in four out of the most recent five encounters. Additionally, Bolton's ability to find the back of the net consistently in these head-to-head battles is noteworthy, with a tally of two goals in the last three clashes and a pair of wins by a two-goal margin. Fleetwood Town's recent defensive frailties are evident, having conceded five goals across their last two matches, both of which ended in losses. In contrast, Bolton's capacity to generate goals and their commendable form sets the stage for a prospective victory by a margin of at least two goals in this match. In conclusion, Bolton's compelling combination of form, head-to-head dominance, and offensive potency suggests a strong likelihood of success against Fleetwood Town, indicating a scenario in which they secure victory by a margin of two goals or more. |

08-15-23 | Rangers v. Servette OVER 2.75 | 1-1 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Rangers are determined to uphold their 2-1 lead from the first leg as they travel to Switzerland to face Servette in this match. The Gers faced an initial setback in their league campaign but rebounded impressively in the first leg of this encounter, kickstarting their season on a positive note. They followed up with a victory in their subsequent league fixture over the weekend, fortifying their readiness for this challenge, although the task ahead won't be without its challenges. Servette is driven by the ambition of reaching the coveted group stage of the Champions League, aiming to savor the experience of competing at that elevated level. In contrast, Rangers are eager to return to the competition after their participation at that stage in the previous season. However, the home team is currently enduring a less-than-stellar run of form, which might not instil complete confidence in their supporters as Rangers arrive on their turf, despite managing to find the back of the net in the prior encounter in Scotland. With just a solitary victory in their last five matches, albeit in the previous Champions League round against Genk, Servette hopes for a change in fortune in front of their home crowd. They will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage, yet Michael Beale's Rangers possess the insight necessary to elevate themselves to the next echelon in the Champions League. Servette showcased their scoring capabilities by notching a goal in Scotland, indicating their potential for more at home against Rangers. Conversely, Beale's squad also holds the capacity to find the back of the net, setting the stage for an expectation of at least three goals in this contest, mirroring the outcome of the first leg. |
|||||||
08-15-23 | KI v. Molde -1.75 | 0-1 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
Molde is determined to overturn their 2-1 deficit from the first leg against KI in this Champions League fixture. This is their sole pathway to advancing to the next round of the competition. This crucial stage of the qualifying stage holds significant importance, and Molde believes they can seize an opportunity to triumph in front of their home crowd. The first leg saw Molde suffer an unexpected loss, despite initially taking the lead. They are eager to avert a repetition of that outcome and are focused on a strong performance in this upcoming match. KI from the Faroe Islands, on the other hand, is pursuing a remarkable achievement in this campaign and is rightfully pleased with their triumph in the preceding leg. Nevertheless, their recent loss to Vikingur over the weekend has put them in a less-than-ideal position heading into this crucial fixture. Molde's home ground has been a fortress, with a remarkable record of nine consecutive victories across various competitions. Their exceptional form at home sets the stage for a potential victory in this match, with their goal-scoring ability also being noteworthy. Notably, Molde has triumphed in their last five home encounters, each with a margin of at least two goals. Adding to their advantage, the previous head-to-head match against KI resulted in a two-goal victory when hosted by Molde. I fully expect a similar outcome today. |
|||||||
08-15-23 | FC Copenhagen v. AC Sparta Prague +125 | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
Sparta Prague is determined to bring their initial efforts to fruition in the first leg of this Champions League qualifying match, following a goalless draw between the teams in Denmark. Copenhagen supporters were understandably disheartened by their team's inability to secure a victory in that encounter. The upcoming challenge of winning in the Czech Republic is poised to be considerably more arduous for them. The home team has been riding a wave of exceptional form in their recent competitive fixtures, clinching victory in four out of their last five matches. The remaining fixture resulted in the aforementioned scoreless draw against the same opponent in Denmark. Sparta has exhibited their offensive prowess in their last two league matches, netting a total of five goals in each game. This impressive scoring record fuels their belief in achieving a significant outcome when facing this adversary. Notably, Sparta's performances on home soil have been commendable, registering triumphs in their previous two home matches. Buoyed by their recent successes, they are confident in their ability to finalize their mission in front of their devoted fans. Copenhagen, however, should not be entirely discounted from the equation. Their track record of three consecutive away victories underscores their capacity to rectify the missteps of the first leg. Yet, Sparta possesses all the necessary elements to secure victory by the time the referee's final whistle resounds. In summary, Sparta Prague is poised to capitalize on their advantages and secure victory, backed by their impressive form, potent offense, and home-field advantage, as they look to complete their mission in this crucial fixture. |

08-15-23 | Sweden W v. Spain W | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
We are now at the semi-final stage of the women's world cup and the stakes could not be much higher. Both Sweden and Spain have done well to reach this stage, they have both also been fortunate at different points of the tournament as well as also putting in some terrific performances. If either of these two goes on and lifts the World Cup then it would be no surprise. You can probably already tell where this is going, there is very little to separate the sides and picking a winner, in my opinion, would border on guesswork. And therein lies the obvious route to take when you get two very evenly matched sides, an even match. I see this game going to at least extra time and possibly penalties but it is what happens within the 90 minutes that applies here and for me, it has draw written all over it. I cannot even predict with confidence if this game would be over or under, it could easily finish 0-0 or 2-2 but regardless of the scoreline, the end result for me will be a draw. |

08-14-23 | Wolverhampton Wanderers v. Manchester United -1.5 | 0-1 | Loss | -120 | 21 h 5 m | Show | |
The inaugural match of the 2023/24 Premier League season for Manchester United and Wolves couldn't have been scripted more favorably for United. Wolves find themselves amidst a challenging situation, grappling with financial fair play restrictions that have impeded any significant reinforcement to their squad during this transfer window. This predicament led to a parting of ways with their previous manager, resulting in the swift appointment of Gary O'Neil as the successor to Julen Lopetegui, just a few days ago. However, O'Neil's time to work with the team has been limited, and they now face the formidable challenge of a visit to Old Trafford to take on the Red Devils. In contrast, United enjoyed a more stable preseason, bolstering their lineup with several notable acquisitions. Noteworthy signings include Rasmus Hojlund as a new striker, along with Mason Mount from Chelsea and Andre Onana from Inter Milan. These three quality additions complement the existing talent within the club. The advantage of playing at home cannot be overlooked, and United holds that advantage. Furthermore, in the previous season, they secured a convincing 2-0 victory over Wolves in this very fixture. Under the guidance of their manager, Erik Ten Hag, United has demonstrated a clear upward trajectory. They clinched a third-place finish in the league, made appearances in two cup finals, and concluded the previous season a significant 34 points ahead of Wolves. This stark point difference underscores the considerable contrast between the two teams. Considering all these factors, it's difficult to envision any outcome other than a resounding win for Manchester United and I will be backing them to cover the spread. |

08-13-23 | Haugesund v. Valerenga OVER 2.75 | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
Valerenga finds themselves in a precarious position as the weeks go by, with the threat of relegation from the Norwegian top flight looming larger. The urgency to reverse their fortunes is palpable as they face the prospect of hosting Haugesund in a crucial fixture, with hopes of securing a victory that can bolster their efforts to evade relegation. Haugesund, too, finds themselves in a position where improvement is imperative. With only a four-point advantage over Valerenga and a mere two points separating them from the relegation zone, this game holds significant weight for them as well. Valerenga managed to pull off an unexpected triumph in their recent outing against Stromsgodset, a result that offered a glimmer of hope to their devoted fans. This victory undoubtedly served as a morale boost, especially considering their prior string of three consecutive league losses. The challenge now lies in sustaining this positive momentum and confirming their return to form. On the other side, Haugesund has encountered a challenging stretch, having suffered losses in four of their last five matches. The last two encounters ended in defeats as well, raising concerns about their current state. Despite their struggles, Haugesund's ability to score goals remains evident, having found the back of the net in three out of their last four games. Looking at their recent head-to-head clashes, it's worth noting that both teams have exhibited a trend of scoring goals. Clean sheets have been elusive in their last five meetings, with at least three goals being scored in three of those encounters. Given the circumstances, this fixture carries immense importance for both Valerenga and Haugesund. With their collective need for points and the historical pattern of goal-scoring between the teams, the stage is set for a competitive match where the focus will undoubtedly be on securing a crucial victory and with that in mind, I am going for the overs market. |

08-13-23 | Liverpool v. Chelsea | 1-1 | Win | 270 | 6 h 33 m | Show | |
From the moment the Premier League fixtures were unveiled and I observed the Chelsea vs. Liverpool match scheduled for the opening week, my prediction became resolute, and neither preseason events nor transfer activities have altered my stance. In the previous six encounters between these two teams, spanning various competitions, draws have been the consistent outcome. This pattern is not coincidental; it highlights the parity that exists when these teams meet, irrespective of their respective seasons' trajectories. Even during Liverpool's era of dominance alongside Manchester City, they encountered difficulties against Chelsea. Similarly, when the Blues were performing strongly, they would encounter challenges posed by the Reds. It appears that these two sides possess an uncanny ability to counteract each other's domination. Chelsea boasts fresh leadership and an almost entirely revamped squad, marked by a noticeable surplus of players. Meanwhile, Liverpool is also undergoing a period of transformation. Yet, I remain unconvinced that these factors tilt the scales in favor of either side. Historical precedent suggests that past encounters rarely yielded a pronounced advantage for one team over the other, and this trend seems poised to persist. Even during instances where the matches didn't culminate in draws, the teams would alternate victories. This consistent pattern of mutual equipoise indicates that these squads struggle to assert definitive superiority over each other. Given these factors, I am confidently predicting a draw. |

08-13-23 | Varbergs v. Hacken -1.75 | 0-2 | Win | 50 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
Hacken and Varberg find themselves at opposite ends of the league table as they prepare to face each other today. Hacken is currently positioned third and remains a contender in the title race, while Varberg is already looking ahead to life in the second division. Hacken's aspirations include securing a finish within the European places by the end of the season. Their dedication to this goal is reflected in their persistent pursuit of victories, particularly on their home turf. The sting of their recent home defeat to Klaksvik in the Champions League still lingers, motivating them to swiftly reclaim their winning form. Hacken's recent track record of success at home, having won all their last seven home league games, makes the task daunting for Varberg. Additionally, Hacken boasts an impressive history against Varberg, having triumphed in four out of their last five head-to-head encounters by a margin of at least two goals. In the away game scenario, Varberg's performance has been mixed, with three losses and two wins in their last five matches. They've suffered defeats by at least two goals in two of those games, suggesting a vulnerability in their defensive setup. Considering the significant differences in form and historical performance between the two teams, Hacken stands as the favored side. Their strong home record and Varberg's struggles away from home suggest that Hacken is well poised to secure victory once again and by a comfortable margin of at least two goals. |

08-13-23 | Elfsborg +105 v. Hammarby IF | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
Hammarby faces a challenging task in halting Elfsborg's impressive surge towards a potential league title. However, this endeavour is easier said than done. Hammarby's season has been less than stellar, reflected in their eighth-place standing and a considerable point deficit of nearly 20 points from the top. Contrastingly, Elfsborg is enjoying a remarkable season, reaping the rewards of their dedication and hard work on a weekly basis. With three wins and a single defeat in their last five league matches, their form is formidable. Their impressive streak of seven consecutive away victories came to an end against Hacken in their recent travels. Elfsborg's commendable away form positions them as a formidable challenge for their hosts, and their determination to return to winning ways makes this encounter pivotal for them. Hammarby's involvement in European competitions seems to have taken a toll, further bolstering Elfsborg's chances to secure victory in this match. Furthermore, Elfsborg's recent history of success against Hammarby adds to their confidence. Having won the last two meetings between the clubs, there's a precedent for their triumph. Anticipating a hard-fought battle, Elfsborg is expected to emerge victorious, securing all three points once again. |

08-13-23 | Viking v. Lillestrom OVER 3 | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 59 m | Show | |
Lillestrom is bracing for a formidable challenge at home as they prepare to face Viking in a fixture that promises to be one of the weekend's highlights in Norway. Currently hovering around mid-table after 17 matches, Lillestrom has encountered some recent struggles, having lost two out of their last three games. Eager to reverse their fortunes, they're keen on securing a victory that not only sends a strong message to their league counterparts but also bolsters their position. Viking, driven by their championship aspirations, find themselves a mere three points away from the league's summit before this crucial clash. Boasting an impressive track record, they've showcased their determination by achieving a remarkable eight consecutive victories in their recent league outings. Clearly, they're determined to maintain this streak and avoid dropping points in this upcoming fixture. The head-to-head encounters between these two teams have been evenly matched, with both sides securing two victories each in their last five meetings. This parity sets the stage for a closely contested match, wherein the side that capitalizes on their goal-scoring opportunities might just come out on top. Goals have been a prominent feature in Lillestrom's recent matches, with a total of 21 goals being netted in their last five outings. Impressively, Lillestrom accounted for 13 of those goals, highlighting their attacking prowess. Viking, on the other hand, has demonstrated their scoring ability by finding the back of the net at least 22 times in their past ten matches. Notably, Viking managed to score four goals in each of their previous two encounters against Lillestrom. In anticipation of a high-scoring and competitive showdown, it's reasonable to expect both teams to contribute significantly to the goal tally. All things considered over 3 goals is a solid bet for me |

08-13-23 | Tottenham Hotspur +160 v. Brentford | 2-2 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 5 m | Show | |
This match presents a captivating encounter for numerous compelling reasons. Notably, the match occurs amid a new era unfolding at Tottenham, characterized by fresh management and the absence of Harry Kane. Brentford, on the other hand, won't have the services of two key players from the previous season, Ivan Toney and David Raya. Adding to the intrigue is the fact that this marks the opening game of the season for both teams. Ordinarily, one might consider avoiding this match due to these factors. However, my perspective differs. I hold a strong belief that Tottenham will emerge victorious, and I'll elaborate on the reasoning behind my stance. While Kane's departure is undeniable, the current incarnation of Spurs reflects a transformative identity. Their style of play has undergone a complete overhaul from the preceding season, as evidenced by their performances during the preseason. Although Tottenham's preseason match outcomes were a mix of results, their approach on the field was noteworthy – characterized by an offensive mindset and fluid gameplay. This shift suggests a genuine embrace of the tactical philosophy introduced by their new manager, Ange Postecoglou. It's crucial not to underestimate Brentford, considering their impressive performance in the past season. Nevertheless, their preseason record saw them failing to secure a victory in any of their matches. This leads me to question their ability to fend off Tottenham's attacks. While they might find opportunities against Tottenham's defense, I am very confident that Spurs will outscore Brentford. In my estimation, Tottenham will emerge triumphant in what has the potential to be a high-scoring affair. |

08-13-23 | Djurgardens +110 v. IFK Goteborg | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 31 m | Show | |
Djurgarden is determined to regain their winning momentum as they travel to face Goteborg in a Swedish league encounter. As they juggle between domestic and European commitments in their pursuit of Conference League qualification, their recent European results have been less than favorable. Nevertheless, their performance in the league has been commendable, having secured victory in four out of their last five domestic fixtures. This successful run places them in the fourth position on the league table and in contention for another shot at European competitions. In stark contrast, Goteborg finds themselves in a precarious situation, languishing in the 15th spot out of 16 teams, with the specter of relegation looming over them as the season progresses. They have managed to accumulate just five points from their last five games, with only one victory to their name during this period. Their struggles at home are evident, as they have mustered just two wins from their last ten matches on their home turf. Furthermore, Goteborg's historical record against Djurgaden compounds their challenges, having suffered two defeats and failing to secure a victory in their last three head-to-head matchups. Given the current trajectories of both teams, Djurgarden appears to be the more formidable side in terms of their league performance this season. The frustration of their recent European setback could fuel their determination to secure a victory against Goteborg. With Djurgarden's superior form and a desire to bounce back, they are poised to put forth a strong showing and secure all three points in this fixture. |

08-12-23 | Aston Villa v. Newcastle United | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 16 m | Show | |
Newcastle United and Aston Villa each exceeded expectations last season, with the former securing a spot in the Champions League and the latter qualifying for the Conference League. Both squads are under the guidance of skilled managers, and this opening match of the season will serve as a rigorous test of their teams' capabilities. Eddie Howe's Newcastle displayed remarkable form in their pre-season preparations, remaining undefeated in their last five warm-up matches and clinching victory in the final three encounters prior to this game. This run underscores their serious intent to build on their prior achievements and refute any claims of being a fleeting success. Likewise, Aston Villa showcased their prowess during pre-season, going unbeaten in their last five matches leading up to this fixture. Winning three of their final four matches illustrates their strong form and readiness for the challenges ahead. These two teams crossed paths in pre-season, producing an enthralling 3-3 draw that highlighted their closely matched abilities. The previous Premier League season saw them evenly matched as well, with both sides securing victory on their home turf. Overall, the recent head-to-head record between Villa and Newcastle is balanced, with each team claiming two wins in their last five meetings. This equilibrium makes it challenging to differentiate between the two clubs, leading to the expectation of a draw in this encounter. As these teams renew their rivalry, a draw is the value bet and one I will be confidently backing. |

08-12-23 | Molde v. Sandefjord OVER 3.25 | 2-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
Can Sandefjord maintain their impressive streak as they welcome Molde for this Eliteserien encounter? With victories in their most recent two league matches, they're undoubtedly brimming with confidence to secure another triumph on their home turf. Conversely, Molde's performance in their recent competitive outings has been erratic, despite securing wins in their last two league games. Their setback in the Champions League adds to their motivation to regain their stride and secure victory in this upcoming match. Concerns loom for the home team regarding their performance in front of their supporters, having secured only two wins in their last five matches. Furthermore, their previous two encounters hosting Molde at home ended in defeat, adding a challenging aspect to their bid for victory. While these statistics cast doubt on their likelihood of winning, one certainty is the anticipation of goals. Impressively, the home side has found the back of the net 12 times in their previous four matches, and considering the tally of 20 goals across the last five matchups between these teams, it's reasonable to expect a goal-laden spectacle. Both teams have exhibited strong proficiency in scoring, setting the stage for a potentially high-scoring affair, with a minimum of four goals anticipated in this game. |

08-12-23 | West Ham United v. AFC Bournemouth | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 4 h 0 m | Show | |
Bournemouth and West Ham are scheduled to face each other in a notable Premier League fixture this upcoming weekend. The match has garnered attention as one of the fixtures worth observing. In the previous league season, Bournemouth displayed commendable form, guided by Gary O'Neil's efforts that helped them secure their place in the league. With a new manager at the helm, Bournemouth aims to build upon their achievements and commence the new campaign with a clash against West Ham, who emerged victorious in the Conference League. Andoni Iraola, who demonstrated managerial prowess with Rayo Vallecano in Spain, now leads Bournemouth. This managerial transition adds an interesting dimension to the match. Bournemouth's pre-season matches resulted in a mix of outcomes, with three wins and two losses in their last five preparatory games. The core of the squad that defied expectations and secured their Premier League status last season remains largely unchanged. Historically, Bournemouth has fared well on opening days, avoiding defeat since 2017. This, coupled with the typical boost that accompanies a new manager's arrival, could potentially lead to a positive outcome. Despite the departures of key players like Declan Rice and Gianluca Scamacca, West Ham has opted for limited squad reinforcements and the jury is out on how well they will do this season, I certainly am not confident that they will be an improvement on last season. Ultimately, this match offers Bournemouth an opportunity to continue their recent run of good form, leveraging both their opening-day record and the momentum of their managerial transition. |

08-12-23 | Fulham v. Everton UNDER 2.25 | 1-0 | Win | 102 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
Everton and Fulham are set to face off in a match that is unlikely to be a free-flowing spectacle as the Premier League resumes this weekend. Over the past two seasons, Everton has grappled with the specter of relegation, and their primary objective now likely involves achieving a safer position and perhaps a mid-table finish for the upcoming campaign. Fulham showcased impressive form upon their return to the Premier League last season, coming close to securing a European spot. Under the guidance of Marco Silva, a manager renowned for crafting robust teams, Fulham has cultivated a squad characterized by a balanced mix of seasoned and talented players, positioning them as a team worthy of attention. Dyche's arrival ushered in a notable shift for Everton, with a particular emphasis on shoring up their defense, a trademark of his managerial approach. By prioritizing defensive solidity, Dyche has curbed the influx of goals in their matches, despite their struggles in the offensive department. Similarly, Fulham hasn't been prolific in goal-scoring, evident from their tally of just two goals across their last three matches preceding this fixture. Notably, Everton's four most recent matches before this encounter concluded with under 1.5 goals, with the Toffees securing three narrow victories and a goalless draw in the remaining one. These trends suggest that the game is poised to witness fewer than three goals and that is the bet for me in this game. |

08-12-23 | Norwich City v. Southampton OVER 2.5 | 4-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
Southampton kicked off their Championship campaign on a positive note with a victory against Sheffield Wednesday, providing a source of delight for their supporters. However, their recent exit from the EFL Cup following a loss to Gillingham wasn't the outcome their fans had anticipated. They're now eager to secure back-to-back league wins against Norwich, showcasing their intent for a swift return to the Premier League. Norwich, on the other hand, started their season with a triumph over Hull and as they aim to consolidate their efforts, their thorough preparation during the off-season becomes evident. Having remained undefeated in all of their pre-season matches and clinching victories in four out of seven, Norwich's determination is unmistakable. Southampton's aspirations for an immediate Premier League return drive them to prioritize home victories and avoid dropping points. As a result, an offensive approach against Norwich is expected. Recent history between the two sides favors Southampton, having won four of the last five encounters, including their clashes in the Premier League. Goal-scoring has characterized both teams' matches leading up to this fixture, with four of Southampton's last five games concluding with over 2.5 goals. Norwich has also demonstrated scoring prowess, finding the net at least twice in their last three matches. This readiness to respond makes them a formidable opponent when Southampton manages to score. In terms of head-to-head matchups, three of the last four have yielded at least three goals. Given the scoring inclinations of both sides and the historical trend, a similar outcome is anticipated for this fixture. Take Over 2.5 goals |

08-12-23 | Livingston v. Rangers -1.75 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 48 m | Show | |
Rangers had a disappointing start to their league campaign with a loss against Kilmarnock on the opening weekend. They are determined to rectify that loss when they welcome Livingston later today. In their most recent competitive match, Rangers managed to secure a victory over Servette in a Champions League qualifying match, which should boost their confidence ahead of the Livingston encounter. Rangers, led by Michael Beale, have set their sights on dethroning Celtic and claiming the league title. The pursuit of this goal necessitates a strong start, making it imperative for them to secure a win, especially in front of their home fans. While the pressure on Rangers to win could potentially be advantageous for Livingston, the historical record doesn't favor them. They have faced challenges against Rangers in the past, losing four out of their last five matches and failing to secure a victory in any of those encounters. Furthermore, Rangers' victories have often come with a margin of at least two goals. Considering this trend and the stakes involved for Rangers, I am confident they will register a big win against their opponents and kickstart their league campaign. |

08-12-23 | Middlesbrough v. Coventry City +145 | 0-3 | Win | 145 | 1 h 25 m | Show | |
Coventry is set to welcome Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough in what is anticipated to be an engaging Championship clash this weekend, making it a fixture not to be overlooked. Both teams were contenders for a Premier League spot in the previous season's playoffs, and Coventry managed to overcome Boro to advance to the final. While Coventry aims to replicate that success, their current season has begun on a challenging note, casting doubt on the ease of achieving their aspirations. Suffering a loss to Leicester City in their league opener and being eliminated from the League Cup by Wimbledon, they now approach this match following a two-game losing streak, demanding a response. Similarly, Middlesbrough stumbled in their opening league match against Millwall, yet found victory in the League Cup against Huddersfield on the road. This result should inject them with a sense of assurance as they approach this upcoming fixture. However, Coventry is in dire need of a turnaround, having remained unbeaten in their last four home league games from the previous season, clinching victory in two of those encounters. Coventry has also demonstrated a commendable record against Boro, remaining undefeated in four of their previous five home fixtures against them, securing victory in three of those instances. With this being their inaugural home league match of the season, there's an expectation that they will be motivated to claim their first victory. All things considered, the conditions seem favorable for Coventry to secure a victory, propelled by their strong home record and the desire to rectify their recent setbacks. |

08-12-23 | Colombia W v. England W -1 | 1-2 | Push | 0 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
England entered the tournament as one of the top contenders for the World Cup, but their performances have been lackluster and somewhat challenging. Their struggle was evident in the previous round where they needed penalties to overcome Nigeria – a wake-up call that could prove beneficial. The English were outperformed by Nigeria in the previous round, and their presence in the current stage owes partly to their resilience, especially considering they played nearly 30 minutes with just ten players. Colombia has exceeded expectations, reaching this stage and even managing a victory over Germany, an achievement worth acknowledging. However, their journey included a loss to Morocco and a narrow victory over Jamaica. It's likely that their progress might falter at this juncture. The outcome of this match hinges on the version of England that takes the field. If the team mirrors its performance in the European Championship, they should easily overcome Colombia. However, if their lackluster form from earlier in the competition persists, they could be vulnerable. I am confident that we will witness the former scenario. The close escape in the prior round should invigorate them, leading to a transformed England in today's game. Therefore, I predict an English victory, and I believe they will secure this win by a margin of at least two goals. This assessment is not meant to diminish Colombia's efforts; they have represented their nation admirably. Nonetheless, if England performs at their true potential, it's difficult to envision Colombia posing a significant threat. Taking all factors into account, I am endorsing a wager on England with a -1 handicap, expecting them to cover the spread successfully. |

08-12-23 | France W v. Australia W OVER 2.25 | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
A spot in the semi-finals of the World Cup hangs in the balance, promising an exhilarating match as two resolute teams face off. Both Australia and France have compelling arguments for emerging triumphant, underscoring the challenge of predicting a victor in today's clash. While France holds the tag of favorites, it's essential to recognize that Australia enjoys the advantage of being the host nation, a factor that should not be underestimated when considering a winner, particularly within the standard 90-minute playtime. Nevertheless, this doesn't imply that there isn't a promising betting opportunity within this game. A distinct pattern has emerged for both teams throughout the tournament, characterized by the frequency of goals in their respective matches. Australia has witnessed more than 2 1/4 goals in two of its matches so far, leading to a total of 12 goals across its four games. Similarly, France has experienced over 2 1/4 goals in three of its four matches, resulting in a combined total of 16 goals. Coupled with the significance of the occasion, Australia's home advantage, and France's status as one of the top contenders before the tournament, all the elements align for an open, fluid game with a strong likelihood of at least three goals. Hence, I am confident in backing the over 2 1/4 goals option. |

08-11-23 | Manchester City -1.5 v. Burnley | 3-0 | Win | 105 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
In this Premier League opener, Burnley faces the defending champions, Manchester City, with aspirations of making a strong initial statement in the season. Having clinched the Championship title last season under the leadership of Vincent Kompany, Burnley now faces the challenge of transitioning to top-tier English football. The Premier League presents a distinct set of challenges, and this fixture against Manchester City will provide a clear indication of how they fare against elite competition. Manchester City secured a remarkable treble in the previous campaign, and they are poised to build upon that success as they aim to become the first club to secure four consecutive Premier League titles. While they lost the Community Shield to Arsenal, this outcome is not necessarily an accurate gauge of their potential league performance, as they also lost the Community Shield last season before claiming the league title. Burnley is eager to defy expectations and upset the odds in this inaugural match, knowing that a strong performance could set a positive tone for their season. Their friendly matches leading up to this fixture have produced mixed results, with only one win in four games. On the other hand, Manchester City's preseason preparation included just one loss, and they notably defeated Bayern Munich as part of their preparations. Considering the head-to-head record between the two teams, with Manchester City emerging victorious in the last ten encounters, including a commanding 6-0 win in the FA Cup last season, Burnley faces an uphill battle. Given these circumstances, it's likely that Burnley will face a challenging start to their Premier League campaign and I take them to suffer a defeat by at least a two-goal margin, indicating the level of competition in the top flight. |
|||||||
08-11-23 | Vitesse v. FC Volendam OVER 3 | 2-1 | Push | 0 | 5 h 28 m | Show | |
The Dutch Eredivisie is making its return with an exciting opening-day clash between Volendam and Vitesse. Volendam defied expectations by retaining their top-flight status last season, and they now have their sights set on securing a solid finish above the mid-table range by the end of this campaign. In contrast, Vitesse experienced their least favorable finish to a season in a decade during the previous campaign and is determined to avoid repeating that performance in this new season. However, their pre-season preparations have been less than ideal, with two losses and two draws from their last four friendly matches. This has raised concerns about their form heading into the new campaign, as they appear to be encountering difficulties. While pre-season form can sometimes be misleading, an underwhelming start to the season could potentially disrupt Vitesse's momentum and place them at risk of relegation struggles. Volendam, on the other hand, has demonstrated a more promising run of form in their pre-season preparations. They secured two wins and a draw in their final three friendly matches, indicating their readiness to surpass their performance from last season. With Volendam having triumphed in the last encounter between these teams and maintaining an unbeaten record against Vitesse in the previous season, they enter this fixture with a sense of confidence. Seven of Volendam's last nine games in all competitions stretching back to last season have had at least three goals in them and five of Vittesse's last seven matches, again across all competitions have also had at least three goals in them. Considering the intense and high-scoring nature of matches involving these teams, it's plausible to anticipate a goal-rich encounter. As such, expectations are set for at least three or more goals to be scored collectively by both sides in this captivating match. |

08-11-23 | Odense Boldklub v. FC Copenhagen -1.25 | 1-2 | Loss | -57.5 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
In the fourth round of the Danish league, Copenhagen is determined to maintain its position at the top of the league standings as they face Odense. Copenhagen is renowned as one of Denmark's premier clubs and enters this season with aspirations of securing the league title, making it crucial for them to secure victories in their home matches. Currently ranked sixth on the league table, Odense has managed only one win in their initial three matches. Copenhagen, on the other hand, is actively participating in European competitions, aiming to secure a spot in the Champions League group stage. Copenhagen's recent track record includes winning four out of their last five matches across various competitions, demonstrating their good form. This home match offers them an opportunity to maintain this positive streak. Odense's recent performance has been less convincing, as they suffered a defeat at the hands of Viborg in their previous home game. Their preparation for this fixture could be better, but Copenhagen boasts home advantage and is in better overall shape. Although Odense managed to defeat Copenhagen in a match last year, Copenhagen has emerged victorious in three of the last five encounters between these teams. Taking all these factors into account, it is anticipated that Copenhagen will secure a comfortable victory in this match, by a margin of at least two goals. |
|||||||
08-11-23 | Sweden W v. Japan W +120 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 0 m | Show | |
My prediction for this game is solely based on my observations, disregarding any statistics or other metrics. Both of these teams are clearly performing well, evident from their presence at this advanced stage of the competition. However, it's Japan that stands out to me. I perceived Sweden's victory over the USA as somewhat fortuitous. They seemed outplayed for significant portions of the game, and without the exceptional performance of Sweden's goalkeeper, the USA could have emerged victorious. Therefore, I believe Sweden's inclusion in this game carries an element of luck. On the contrary, Japan has been exhibiting captivating football. They've secured comfortable victories in all their matches, and their dominant win against Norway left a strong impression on me. Throughout that match, they exercised complete control over the Norwegians. My anticipation is that this game will mirror the USA-Sweden match, characterized by one team launching continuous attacks while the other focuses on defense, hoping for counter-attack opportunities. While Sweden managed to employ "rope-a-dope" tactics effectively against the USA, I don't envision a similar outcome against Japan. It's likely that Japan will command possession and adopt an assertive stance, which aligns with their style of play. I fully expect them to achieve a breakthrough, leading to potential goals. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they secure a victory by a margin of a couple of goals, at the very least. Based on these considerations, I predict Japan will win within the standard 90 minutes and progress to the semi-finals. |

08-10-23 | Netherlands W v. Spain W OVER 2.25 | 1-1 | Loss | -50 | 12 h 32 m | Show | |
As the Women's World Cup progresses to its later stages, we often witness high-quality matchups between well-matched teams, where the best teams truly shine. The Spain-Netherlands game is a prime example of such a contest. Initially, I was leaning towards favoring the Spanish team, but as I delved deeper into the analysis of both sides, my confidence wavered somewhat. While I still believe that Spain has the edge, I am not as sure about the outcome and have decided not to risk my funds on a less certain prediction. However, during my analysis, it became evident that both these teams tend to participate in matches that yield a high number of goals. In this tournament alone, every Spain game has seen at least three goals scored, with three out of four matches featuring at least four goals. This trend is not limited to the World Cup, as many of their pre-tournament warm-up games also showcased a significant goal count, with 7 out of 8 matches having at least three goals. While the Netherlands' World Cup games haven't been as prolific in terms of goals, their recent form indicates that 50% of their last ten games have featured at least three goals. Additionally, they secured a dominant 7-0 victory against Vietnam during the group stages of this competition. Considering the current form of the teams, the stakes at play, and the historical tendency for goals in their matches, I am confidently predicting that this game will witness over 2.25 goals being scored. |

08-10-23 | Breidablik v. Zrinjski OVER 2.5 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 35 m | Show | |
Only two opponents stand between these clubs and qualification for the group stages of the Europa League, and it's anticipated that they'll go all out in this fixture. Zrinjski initially had their sights set on the Champions League, but their hopes were dashed by Slovan Bratislava in the last round. As a result, they find themselves in the Europa League qualification stage. Their counterparts, on the other hand, suffered defeat at the hands of Copenhagen in the previous round of Champions League qualifiers, setting the stage for a showdown between two teams still smarting from their UCL exits. Recent form shows that the home side has struggled, with no victories in their last three matches—losing one in a penalty shootout. Significantly, these matches have all been in European competitions. The visiting team is also enduring a poor run, with no wins in their last four games and two losses among them. However, their recent away form offers a glimmer of confidence, having secured three wins out of their last five matches on the road. Both teams have displayed strength and weakness when it comes to scoring and defending, for example, in the last seven games for each side in all competitions, at least four of them have seen more than three goals and because of what is at stake here and their respective inconsistent form I fully expect goals. In conclusion, I am backing over 2.5 goals, to me that is a far safer bet than going out on a limb backing an outright result for either team. |

08-10-23 | Dnipro-1 v. Slavia Praha OVER 3 | 0-3 | Push | 0 | 4 h 45 m | Show | |
In an intriguing Europa League qualifying match, Slavia Prague, currently in good form, hosts Dnipro-1, both teams eagerly vying for a spot in the competition's group stage. Slavia Prague has consistently showcased their prowess in the Czech Republic over the past seasons, and their aspirations to represent their country in the Europa League this year are evident. Their stellar performance in the domestic league, marked by an impressive winning streak in their opening three matches, bolsters their confidence heading into this clash on home turf. Having set the stage with their triumphant start to the season, Slavia Prague seems well-positioned to secure a home victory in this encounter. However, Dnipro-1 is poised to challenge this narrative. Dnipro-1's journey in Europe began with Panathinaikos eliminating them from the Champions League qualifiers in the previous round. This experience has undoubtedly fueled their determination to triumph in this match. With an unbeaten record in their last two competitive matches, including a draw against their former European opponents in Greece, Dnipro-1 has gleaned valuable insights from their previous exit. Nevertheless, Slavia Prague's formidable home record is a significant factor in their favor. Their resounding performances on home soil breed confidence that they can secure a positive outcome in this contest. That said, there is a stronger bet to be had than doing a home win. Both teams have demonstrated an ability to find the back of the net, suggesting a game replete with goals. This expectation aligns with the anticipated nature of the match. With both teams displaying their attacking prowess, it's reasonable to predict that this encounter will yield a considerable goal count. As such, I find more value in the totals than the spread or outright market. Take over 3 goals |

08-09-23 | Servette v. Rangers -1 | 1-2 | Push | 0 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
Rangers are aiming for consecutive appearances in the Champions League group stage as they navigate the qualifying phase once again. The team is just two opponents away from achieving this goal, and their focus is on securing a favorable outcome in the first leg against Servette to establish an advantageous position for the return fixture. Swiss side Servette earned their place in this stage by eliminating Genk in the previous qualifying round. Additionally, they've already secured a spot in the Europa League group stage. However, their aspirations extend further, and they are eager to progress in the Champions League. Rangers have had a less than ideal start to the season, suffering a loss to Kilmarnock over the weekend. This result adds significance to their upcoming match against Servette, making a victory all the more crucial. With the pressure mounting, Rangers manager Michael Beale understands the stakes, and reaching the group stage of the Champions League would provide valuable breathing room for him. Despite Servette's journey to this stage of the tournament, their historical record as travellers in European matches is not strong, having last won an away game on the continent in the 1962/63 season. This context doesn't bode well for their prospects coming into this game, even with their recent victory against Genk bolstering their campaign. Considering these factors, I anticipated that Rangers will emerge victorious in this encounter by a margin of at least two goals. |
|||||||
08-09-23 | Bryne v. Fredrikstad FK OVER 2.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
As the 17th round of matches in Norway's Obos-Ligaen approaches, Fredrikstad is gearing up to secure a victory as they host Bryne in this upcoming game. Sitting at the top of the standings with 32 points, the home side is in a prime position and can practically taste promotion to the top division. Bryne, in contrast, finds themselves much closer to the threat of relegation, with a substantial 13-point gap separating the two teams prior to this fixture. Fredrikstad has managed to maintain an unbeaten record throughout the season, amassing eight wins and eight draws from their 16 league matches so far. While their opponent seems like a favorable match-up for them to extend this record, it's important to remain cautious and avoid underestimating any team. Bryne has recorded three wins from their last four league games, yet their recent away form has been less impressive, suffering three losses in their last five away games across all competitions. This should be an encouraging sign for the hosting team. Although Bryne emerged victorious in their last visit to Fredrikstad's ground, history shows that Fredrikstad holds the upper hand with three wins in the last five encounters between these two teams across all competitions. Goals tend to flow when these clubs meet, and the anticipation is for an exciting match with both teams eager to secure the available points. Fredrikstad should win in all fairness, however, I do expect Bryne to find the back of the net at least once and with this in mind, it's reasonable to expect at least three goals scored n this game. |
|||||||
08-09-23 | Skeid v. Start -1 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
Start host Skeid later today, the team currently at the bottom of the league table. Start's objective is to secure a victory and inch closer to the upper ranks of the table. Sitting in the final play-off position, Start is determined to avoid any setbacks that could potentially push them below this crucial spot. With Moss trailing closely by just a single point, a failure to win this game might put their current position in jeopardy. On the other hand, Skeid has faced a challenging season with only two wins and nine losses in their first 16 league matches. Their situation is far from ideal, and as time dwindles, they are in desperate need of positive results. This upcoming match serves as another opportunity for them to turn their fortunes around. However, Skeid's record in all competitions leading up to this game is far from promising. Having not secured a victory in their last five matches, losing four of them, they appear to be on a trajectory toward relegation as the season approaches its end. In contrast, Start boasts an impressive record in their recent home games, having remained unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions. With four wins in those games, they are clearly in good form on their home turf. Considering these factors, the outlook for Skeid facing Start is challenging. Start's home advantage and recent success should provide them with a solid platform to secure victory. It's reasonable to anticipate that Start will emerge triumphant with a win of at least two goals in this fixture. |
|||||||
08-09-23 | Kongsvinger v. Ranheim OVER 3 | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 24 m | Show | |
Kongsvinger, riding high on their impressive form, is acutely aware of the importance of not slipping up as they prepare to face Ranheim. Their aim is to secure all three points on the road before returning to their home turf. For Kongsvinger, an automatic promotion spot is within their sights, adding weight to the significance of this fixture. However, Ranheim is also under pressure, fearing the possibility of sliding into the relegation zone. This dynamic positions this match as one of the standout encounters of the current game week. Ranheim's recent performance paints a grim picture as they head into this match having suffered five consecutive losses in the league. This unfavorable streak of results hardly sets a positive backdrop for a team that is currently grappling with promotion contenders. Meanwhile, Kongsvinger experienced a setback in their last league game at home and failed to secure victory in their previous two matches. However, their away form tells a different story. Having not lost any of their last three away league matches, winning two of them, they seem to be a formidable force on the road. Adding to their confidence is Kongsvinger's previous victory at this very ground. The memory of their successful past visit could serve as a wellspring of inspiration as they embark on this challenge once again. One striking trend in Ranheim's struggles has been their leaky defense. Having conceded 16 goals in their last five games, it's likely that this match will also witness its fair share of goals. Anticipating at least four goals in this encounter seems reasonable given the circumstances. |
|||||||
08-08-23 | Molde v. KI OVER 2.5 | 1-2 | Win | 105 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
Klaksvikar Itrottarfelag from the Faroe Islands has already etched its name in the annals of the country's football history by reaching this stage of the Champions League qualifiers. Regardless of whether they are eliminated by Molde, they are assured a spot in the UEFA Conference League, marking a significant achievement for both the club and the nation. Eager to continue their historic journey, Klaksvikar Itrottarfelag will confront Molde in the third round of qualifying matches for the Champions League group stages. Molde, who progressed impressively in the previous round to reach this stage, understands the importance of not underestimating their opponents. Klaksvikar Itrottarfelag boasts a commendable record of eight victories and a single defeat in their last ten games across various competitions, bolstering their confidence as they approach this fixture. Interestingly, these teams have met before, with Molde dominating their Europa League qualification encounter in the 2003/2004 season. That time, Molde secured a convincing 6-0 aggregate victory. However, that was a long time ago and this clash is expected to present a different challenge, even though Klaksvikar Itrottarfelag comprises part-time players. Given their strong performance up to this point, Klaksvikar Itrottarfelag is unlikely to allow Molde to maintain a clean sheet. As a result, the anticipation is for both teams to find the back of the net, but with the Norwegian champions, the superior team and huge favorites to win this game then over 2.5 goals looks a solid bet. |
|||||||
08-08-23 | Sturm Graz v. PSV Eindhoven -1.25 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
Both PSV and Sturm Graz have experienced an extended absence from the Champions League group stages. PSV last participated in the 2018/2019 season, while Graz has been absent since the 2000/2001 season, albeit both have been in the qualifying rounds. The upcoming 3rd qualifying round match presents an opportunity for both clubs to achieve something remarkable, although it could be a formidable challenge for the Austrian side to secure a favorable outcome. PSV enters the match with boosted confidence after winning the Johan Cruyff Shield in the Netherlands. This victory is likely to invigorate them as they prepare for this fixture. However, it's important to note that PSV has encountered a dry spell in Champions League qualifying matches, remaining winless in six games, two of which ended in losses. Graz approaches the game with positive momentum, having remained undefeated in their initial three competitive matches of the season. Nonetheless, facing PSV presents a significantly tougher challenge compared to their previous opponents. Graz's recent Champions League qualifying history is marked by struggles, having lost seven out of twelve qualifying matches and securing only two victories since their last appearance in the group stage. Moreover, their performance away from home against Dutch teams has been dismal, with four losses and a single draw in five matches. Considering PSV's high-scoring record in the Dutch league last season, my expectation is that they will secure a victory in this game and I am confident they will cover the spread. |

08-08-23 | AC Sparta Prague v. FC Copenhagen +110 | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
FC Copenhagen's impressive track record in European competitions on their home turf provides them with a sense of confidence as they prepare to face Sparta Prague in this Champions League encounter. Copenhagen's home performance in the previous season showcased their resilience, as they managed to secure draws against formidable opponents like Manchester City, Sevilla, and Borussia Dortmund. This success at home suggests that they are well-equipped to achieve a positive outcome in this fixture as well. Sparta Prague, however, should not be underestimated, considering their strong start in the league campaign. Their streak of three consecutive victories in competitive matches leading up to this game instils them with a sense of belief that they can return home with a favourable result. It's worth noting that Sparta has historically struggled against Copenhagen, particularly when both teams crossed paths in the 2009/2010 Europa League group stage. Copenhagen emerged victorious in both legs of the encounter, with clean sheets to their name, underlining the contrast between the two clubs in European competitions. Copenhagen's home advantage has proven to be a significant factor, as they have won eight out of their last ten home matches, suffering only one loss. Sparta has displayed resilience on their travels, maintaining an unbeaten record in their last ten away matches but this match is an altogether different challenge. Anticipated to be an exciting showdown, the game holds promise for both sides. However, Copenhagen's passionate supporters and their home advantage should tip the scales in their favour, leading to a victory in this fixture. |

08-07-23 | IFK Goteborg +0.25 v. Norrkoping | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
IFK Goteborg has been enduring a difficult season, but they have shown signs of improvement lately, losing only once in their last five games. Their away form has been particularly resilient, as they have managed to draw four of their last six games on the road. Norrkoping, on the other hand, has been inconsistent in recent matches. Although they have had a better season than IFK and are positioned 12 points and nine places above them after 17 games, they have encountered some stumbling blocks. In their last five home games, they have only secured one victory and suffered three losses, which might be a cause of concern for their fans. Furthermore, they have managed just two wins in their last nine league games overall. Considering the circumstances, we have a home side with a better overall season performance but facing recent struggles, playing against a team currently second from the bottom in the standings. However, IFK Goteborg has shown signs of improvement and is eager to collect points to fight against relegation. Given the situation, I believe this game will be closely contested, and my preference is for IFK Goteborg not to lose. Therefore, I am backing them to receive a quarter ball on the spreads, which means the bet will be successful if IFK Goteborg wins or draws the match. |

08-07-23 | Viborg FF v. Odense Boldklub | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 41 m | Show | |
Upon first assessment of this fixture, I was inclined to support the home side, but after deeper analysis, it became apparent that a draw appears to be a favorable bet, offering good value for the game. Viborg has demonstrated dominance over OB, remaining unbeaten in their last six Superliga matches, recording two wins and four draws. However, OB is determined to secure their first league victory against Viborg since December 2016, and it is worth noting that four out of their last six meetings have resulted in draws. Considering it's only the third week in the Danish Superliga, the available data is limited. OB has begun the season well, securing four points from their opening two games, and they also enjoy the advantage of playing at home. In contrast, Viborg has only collected one point so far. However, it's important to acknowledge that Viborg finished third in the standings last season, significantly ahead of today's opponents by nine points over just 22 matches. OB has the home advantage and a better start to the season, but Viborg has shown resilience against OB in their recent encounters. Considering the historical prevalence of draws between these teams and the uncertainty of the current form, it appears prudent to bet on a draw for today's match, and that's precisely where my backing will go. |

08-07-23 | Halmstads v. Malmö FF OVER 3 | 0-3 | Push | 0 | 6 h 38 m | Show | |
Looking at the league table, it may seem that Malmo has a significant advantage over their opponents, being 13 points ahead after 17 games, and boasting a remarkable goal difference of plus 23 compared to Halmstad's minus 8. However, the match's outcome is not as straightforward as it appears. At the beginning of the season, Halmstad struggled on the road, but their recent away form has been impressive. In their last five away league games, they have won four and drawn one, indicating that they are in good form when playing away from their home ground. While Malmo is undoubtedly strong at home, they did suffer a 2-1 defeat against Mjallby a couple of weeks ago, proving that they are not invincible on their own turf. While Malmo should be favored to win this match, the odds and spread may not make it an attractive betting option. However, the overs market looks quite appealing. Malmo's last eight home games have all seen a minimum of three goals, and five of their last seven home games have had at least four goals. Similarly, four of Halmstad's last six away games have featured at least three goals, and they have managed to score in six of their last eight away games. In conclusion, I expect Malmo to win, but I also anticipate Halmstad to score. This leads me to believe that we can expect at least three goals in this match, most likely more. Therefore, I am taking the over 3 goals option for this match. |

08-06-23 | Bodo Glimt v. Viking OVER 3.5 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
The highly anticipated clash between the top two teams in Norway, Bodo/Glimt and Viking, promises to be an enthralling encounter as both teams have their sights set on their championship ambitions. Bodo/Glimt has been in superb form and is determined to widen the gap between them and Viking as they strive for the championship title. However, Viking is not willing to surrender without a fight, making this game the must-watch fixture in the top flight this weekend. Viking enters this game with impressive momentum, having won all of their last five matches and eight out of their last ten competitive fixtures. Their excellent run of form puts them in a strong position ahead of this challenging encounter against one of the country's most impressive teams, Bodo/Glimt. Bodo/Glimt, despite their recent loss to Tromso, has still secured four wins in their last five matches. They are eager to bounce back and regain their form in this fixture. However, Viking will present formidable opposition, making things difficult for the visitors in various aspects. Both teams boast impressive home and away records. Viking has won seven out of their last nine home games in all competitions, showcasing their strength when playing in front of their home crowd. On the other hand, Bodo/Glimt has an astonishing record of nine wins in their last ten away matches, proving their prowess on the road. Given the stellar form and attacking abilities of both teams, it's reasonable to anticipate a high-scoring affair. The stats suggest that this game is likely to be a goal fest, with over 3.5 goals expected to be scored. Fans can look forward to an exhilarating contest between the best teams in the league, with both sides aiming to showcase their title credentials in this exciting fixture. |

08-06-23 | Manchester City -0.5 v. Arsenal | 1-1 | Loss | -120 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
The highly anticipated Community Shield, England's seasonal curtain-raiser, is finally upon us, featuring last season's title contenders, Manchester City and Arsenal, who are set to determine who is better prepared for the upcoming season. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal surprised many with their impressive title challenge in the previous campaign, delivering superb performances that saw them spend over 200 days at the top of the league table. Their scintillating displays showcased their potential as serious contenders. However, a dip in form during the final weeks allowed Manchester City to overtake them and clinch the English Premier League once again. During the transfer window, Arsenal has further strengthened their squad, adding to the anticipation of their fans. On the other hand, Manchester City has retained most of the players who played a pivotal role in securing their treble-winning season. Recently, Manchester City hasn't had the best records in the Community Shield, having lost their last two appearances. However, they boast an impressive six wins and eight losses from their previous appearances in this prestigious fixture. Both clubs have been diligently preparing during pre-season for the upcoming campaign, but Arsenal faces a challenging task as they have suffered defeat in their last five encounters against Manchester City, highlighting the latter's dominance in this matchup. Given their recent head-to-head record and City's strong squad, it's likely that Manchester City will continue their dominance over Arsenal and secure yet another victory in this game. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if Erling Haaland can return to his dominant best and make an impact on the game. |

08-06-23 | Lillestrom v. Tromso -0.25 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show | |
As match-week 17 approaches in Norway, Tromso is determined to stay in close contention with the league leaders as they face Lillestrom at home. The two teams are separated by just four points on the league table, making this match a closely contested encounter. Tromso has been in excellent form recently, with only one loss in their last five matches and securing three victories. Their impressive performances have kept them among the most in-form clubs in the league. Similarly, Lillestrom has been on a superb run, winning four out of their last five games. Their only defeat during this period was a narrow 1-0 loss against Haugesund. Confident from their recent success, Lillestrom enters the game with determination. However, Tromso understands the importance of securing a win on their home turf and has maintained an unbeaten record in their last four home matches. And that is the key difference for me in this game, home advantage for Tromso. Considering the balance between the two teams and Tromso's strong home form, a close and hard-fought game is expected. The prediction is that Tromso will emerge victorious and cover the 0.25 spread. |

08-06-23 | Stabaek v. Odds BK OVER 2.5 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
This fixture between Odd and Stabaek promises to be an exciting encounter with the potential for a good number of goals. Both teams are currently facing mid-table positions, with Stabaek in the 12th spot and Odd sitting in 8th place on the league table. However, neither team has been in particularly good form recently. Odd has experienced a mixed run of results, losing three and winning two of their last five matches. Their most recent loss against Rosenborg might not be the best preparation heading into this fixture. Stabaek's form is even more concerning, as they have not won any of their last five competitive matches, suffering four defeats in the process. Their away form has been particularly poor, securing only one point out of the potential 15 in their last five away games. While both teams have struggled to perform consistently, there is a common trend when they face each other - plenty of goals. In their last three head-to-head matches, four goals were scored in two of them. Additionally, Odd has been involved in high-scoring games, with at least three goals being scored in four of their last five matches. Considering these factors and the goal-laden history between these two teams, it is reasonable to expect this game to end with over 2.5 goals. The match is likely to provide an entertaining spectacle with plenty of goal-scoring opportunities for both sides. |

08-06-23 | FC Midtjylland +120 v. Lyngby | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 8 m | Show | |
In this week-three clash in Denmark, Lyngby will play host to Midtjylland, who are eager to secure a resounding victory and claim the top spot in the league standings. Midtjylland has had a solid start to the season, winning both of their opening games without conceding any goals. On the contrary, Lyngby has struggled to find success in their first two matches, failing to secure a win and will be determined to change that in this fixture. However, facing a formidable Midtjylland side poses a significant challenge for them, as the visitors are keen on closing any points gap that might emerge between them and the league leaders. Lyngby's recent form has been lackluster, with just one win in their last five matches, including pre-season games. While they managed to secure a commendable 2-2 draw against Viborg in their latest outing, they suffered a defeat at home against Copenhagen, a team of similar quality to Midtjylland. Although Midtjylland faced a setback in their last competitive game against Progres Niedercorn in the Conference League, they had previously achieved three consecutive wins, including the first leg of that encounter. This indicates their strength and determination to bounce back, making them formidable opponents for Lyngby. Given the contrasting form and the quality of both teams, I am confident that Midtjylland will emerge victorious in this match, as they seek to continue their impressive start to the season and assert their dominance in the league. |

08-06-23 | Coventry City v. Leicester -1 | 1-2 | Push | 0 | 2 h 13 m | Show | |
Leicester City embarks on their Championship journey with an exciting opener against Coventry City, marking the beginning of their quest to return to the top flight of English football. Despite their relegation, the Foxes have a storied history as English champions less than a decade ago, and they have bolstered their ranks with a roster of thrilling talents over the years. Under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers, the team experienced moments of success and made remarkable signings. However, last season saw their campaign falter under his leadership, leading to their unfortunate relegation. Now, the task of securing promotion back to the Premier League falls to Enzo Maresca, who aims to apply the valuable lessons learned from his time with Pep Guardiola. Coventry City, on the other hand, defied all odds in the previous season, reaching the Championship playoff final, only to succumb to defeat on penalties against Luton Town. Expectations are high for Coventry to replicate their impressive achievement, but it will undoubtedly prove challenging. History favors Leicester, with an excellent record against Coventry, having emerged victorious in the majority of their historical encounters. Furthermore, Coventry has yet to triumph at the King Power Stadium. With the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho and other top-notch players still in their ranks, Leicester is poised to secure a convincing victory in this game, likely by a margin of at least two goals. |

08-06-23 | USA W v. Sweden W OVER 2 | 0-0 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
The USA has faced criticism in this World Cup for underperforming in their last two group games, unlike their opponents, Sweden. The US team was considered the pre-tournament favorites, but they have not lived up to that status so far. It is expected that they will try to elevate their game against Sweden, but it won't be an easy task. Sweden, on the other hand, has been impressive, winning all their group games and scoring nine goals while conceding only once. Scoring goals has not been an issue for the Swedish women in this tournament. In contrast, the USA managed to win only one of their group games and needed a last-minute goalpost to save them to avoid elimination against Portugal. Despite the teams' performances so far, there is optimism that the USA will step up their game and show a different performance. This is expected to result in goals, and the same is expected from the Swedish team. The total number of goals set for this match seems too low, especially considering Sweden's scoring prowess and the anticipated improvement in the USA's performance. As a result, the recommendation is to bet on over two goals in this fixture, as it is unlikely to be a low-scoring affair. Regarding the winner of the match, I have a feeling that Sweden might prevail, but my confidence in that outcome is low. Similarly, I don't have much confidence in a USA win either. Therefore, the focus is on the goal count rather than predicting the winner. In summary, the expectation is for an exciting match with goals from both teams, and I will be betting on over two goals in this game. |

08-05-23 | Randers FC v. FC Copenhagen OVER 3 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 44 m | Show | |
Upon my initial assessment of this match, I had a strong inclination that FC Copenhagen would easily cover the spread. However, after conducting a thorough analysis, it became evident that it was not a guaranteed outcome for the home side against Randers. A key factor influencing my perception was the recent head-to-head record between the two teams. In the past ten meetings, FC Copenhagen managed to secure a two-goal margin victory only four times. This raised concerns about the risk involved in expecting a dominant performance from the home team. Nevertheless, as I delved deeper into the analysis of both teams, I identified a potential for a high-scoring match. FC Copenhagen's last five home games have seen at least three goals in four of them, with three of those games featuring four or more goals. Similarly, Randers' last five away games have produced almost identical statistics, with four of their last five away matches witnessing at least four goals. It's essential to acknowledge that the sample size includes various competitions, as the Swedish season is only two games old. The matches considered encompass a mix of cup games, friendlies, and league fixtures. Another influential aspect to consider is that this marks Copenhagen's first home game of the season, motivating them to attack fervently in front of their passionate home supporters. However, this attacking approach may expose them defensively, providing opportunities for Randers to score. Randers have displayed a propensity for both scoring and conceding goals during their recent performances. While FC Copenhagen may still be expected to secure a victory and possibly cover the spread, the most appealing value bet, in my opinion, lies in the likelihood of this match witnessing a minimum of three goals, if not more. The potential for an abundance of goals arises from the teams' recent track records and playing styles. |

08-05-23 | MIllwall v. Middlesbrough -0.5 | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
Championship football is making its return, and Middlesbrough is determined to kick off their season on a positive note, seeking redemption after narrowly missing out on promotion last year. Under the leadership of the superb Michael Carrick, who was appointed as their manager, there is growing confidence that Middlesbrough will eventually secure their promotion to the English top flight. Boro has been stuck in the Championship for most of the past decade, which hasn't been ideal for them. However, this season presents another opportunity for them to make the leap and reclaim their spot in the Premier League, although the challenge will undoubtedly be tough. Their first match is against Millwall, and this encounter promises to be a clash between two sides that are expected to have a strong showing in the Championship this season. In the previous campaign, Boro finished seven points ahead of Millwall, which secured them a place in the playoffs. Nevertheless, Millwall's 8th-place finish in the standings was commendable, and they are determined to improve on that this time around. The visitors will be keen to start the season on a positive note and gain at least one point from their trip to Boro. However, it's worth noting that Millwall hasn't secured a victory at Boro since 2014, and Middlesbrough has a knack for getting favorable results when facing Millwall. Home advantage is very important these days and that is where Boro will have the edge today and I expect them to claim all three points in what is likely to be a hard-fought affair. Take Middlesbrough to win and cover the spread |

08-05-23 | Hull City v. Norwich City -0.75 | 1-2 | Win | 50.5 | 5 h 35 m | Show | |
This English Championship clash will witness Norwich City and Hull battling it out as both clubs aim to secure promotion to the Premier League by the end of this campaign. While the goal is challenging, both teams have experienced success in achieving promotion in recent seasons. Norwich City is a club we remember seeing in England's top flight not too long ago, but they finished last season in the 13th position on the league table. On the other hand, Hull ended the previous season in the 15th spot. As a result, both teams are eager to make a strong start to the season and strive to maintain their momentum. In the preseason, Norwich displayed an impressive performance, remaining unbeaten in their last five matches in preparation for this season. Hull also showcased good form, although they drew their last three friendlies before this opener, hoping it won't impact their start to the term negatively. While Norwich struggled in their final home fixtures last season, losing three out of four and securing no wins, they can take solace in their track record against Hull, having remained unbeaten in their last four encounters with them. Hull, on the other hand, faced difficulties in their away matches last season, as they failed to secure victories in their last five Championship away games. Considering these factors, Norwich City is expected to get off to a winning start in front of their home fans and I am confident that they will do just that and cover the spread. |

08-05-23 | Moss v. Jerv OVER 2.75 | 1-1 | Loss | -118 | 4 h 41 m | Show | |
In the 16th round of league games in the Norwegian Obos-Ligaen, Jerv will be hosting Moss. Both clubs are not close to the top of the league, which means they are not in contention for promotion to the top flight. Jerv is currently ten points away from the promotion places, while Moss is just one point ahead of them. This makes it a crucial period in the season for both teams. The home side, Jerv, is experiencing a rough patch in form, having won only two of their last five competitive games, with the other three ending in losses. On the other hand, Moss had been struggling too, but they managed to turn things around by winning their last two matches before this fixture. This recent success has given them confidence, and they believe they can get a positive result from this game. Jerv, however, has been a different team when playing at home. Their recent run of form at home has been impressive, winning their last three matches and remaining undefeated in their last five games in front of their fans. This has boosted their confidence, and they are eager to continue their winning streak in this fixture. As for Moss, while they won their last away game against Mjondalen, their overall away form has been lacking, with them losing their last three away matches. This game against Jerv will be a true test to see if they have improved as travellers. Because both teams need points and have been scoring freely recently it is much more likely that we will see goals than identifying an outright winner to cover the spread, for example, the last five Jerv matches have seen four of them with at least 3 goals in them and three of the last five Moss games have had at least three goals in them. All things considered, over 2 3/4 goals is definitely the way to go. |

08-05-23 | Norway W v. Japan W OVER 2.25 | 1-3 | Win | 105 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
Japan has undeniably transformed into one of the standout teams in the competition, leaving spectators in awe with their remarkable performance. With an impressive record of three victories, 11 goals scored, and none conceded, they have been nothing short of dominant. Their style of play is captivating, with a focus on attacking football that keeps their opponents on their toes. In contrast, Norway's journey in the tournament has been far from smooth sailing. Struggling with inconsistency, they faced a precarious situation in the group stages, with doubts surrounding their progression. However, they managed to salvage their campaign in the final group match by delivering a resounding 6-0 victory over the Philippines. This victory injected them with renewed confidence as they head into the knockout stages. Before the tournament commenced, Norway would have been deemed the favorites in a match against Japan. But considering Japan's current form, the scales have seemingly tipped in their favor. Despite this, predicting the outcome of this match is challenging, and it could swing either way. Thus, it might be prudent to refrain from confidently selecting a winner. Instead, my betting strategy revolves around a different aspect of the game – the overs market. The rationale behind this choice is quite clear. Japan has been on fire, consistently finding the back of the net, and Norway has finally discovered their scoring touch. This knockout game intensifies the stakes, potentially leading to a more open and attacking contest, thereby increasing the likelihood of goals being scored. With all these factors combined, it appears to be a golden opportunity to take advantage of the over 2.1/4 goals bet. |

08-04-23 | Southampton v. Sheffield Wednesday OVER 2.5 | 2-1 | Win | 102 | 34 h 13 m | Show | |
This is the very first game of the Championship season and because of the two teams involved over 2.5 goals looks like a very tasty bet and an opportunity not to be missed. What we have here is two teams that were separated by two divisions last season, Southampton was a Premier League team and Sheffield Wednesday was a League One side and obviously, that creates a lot of unknowns in terms of what sort of performances can we expect from the respective sides. Will Sheffield Wednesday carry last season's momentum into this one, their recent pre-season friendlies do not suggest that will be the case. Will Southampton be hungover from their relegation, possibly, based on their pre-season results. Then throw in the fact that this is the very first competitive game of the season and you have even more uncertainty in picking an actual winner. However, one has to look at intent and ambition, Southampton will want to bounce back immediately and Sheffield Wednesday will not want to go straight back down. Sheffield Erdnrsday has home advantage and will be keen to get off to a flyer in front of their own fans and Southampton will be desperate to send out a message that they are a Premier League team in the wrong division. For me, this game is more about mentality than anything else and I expect both sides to be attack-minded from the get-go and therefore I am backing over 2.5 goals in this one. |

07-30-23 | Tromso v. Bodo Glimt -1.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
Red-hot Bodo Glimt is set to host Tromso, and the home side is strong favorites to secure yet another victory. Bodo Glimt currently sits at the top of the league standings, and their impressive form justifies their position. With eight wins, one draw, and one defeat in their last ten competitive games, they have been in exceptional shape. Additionally, their five consecutive wins leading up to this fixture highlight their determination to extend their winning streak. Tromso, positioned fourth on the league table with 30 points, has been having a decent season. However, they are fully aware of the challenge they face against the formidable Bodo Glimt. The visitors have recorded two wins in their last five competitive games, which may not be enough to give them confidence against the table-toppers. When playing at home, Bodo Glimt has dominated this fixture, claiming three wins from their last four head-to-head meetings. This historical advantage adds to Tromso's understanding of the tough task ahead. Nevertheless, Tromso might draw some confidence from the fact that Bodo Glimt dropped points at home against Molde not too long ago. This could serve as motivation for the visitors to believe that they can also achieve a positive result on their travels. Understandably, the pressure will be on the home side to maintain their impressive form and secure another win. However, Bodo Glimt has shown resilience under pressure, making them even more likely to come out victorious in this encounter. All things considered, I fully expect a Bodo Glimt win and to cover the spread. |

07-30-23 | Odds BK v. Rosenborg -0.75 | 2-3 | Win | 52.5 | 4 h 6 m | Show | |
Rosenborg enters this fixture with momentum, having secured two consecutive wins in the league. Their recent performance in the Europa Conference League was commendable too, as they managed a 2-2 draw against Crusaders in an away game. The home side is currently in fine form, which undoubtedly boosts their confidence heading into this important match. Odd, however, is not to be underestimated, as they have also achieved back-to-back victories. Eager to build on this winning streak, they are determined to perform well even though this encounter takes place at one of the toughest grounds in the league. Rosenborg currently occupies the 10th position on the league table, and they are fully aware of the work required to climb higher. As a result, they view this game as a must-win to improve their standing in the league. The history between these teams has shown that matches between them are always tough and closely contested. Nevertheless, Rosenborg has the upper hand, having won three out of the last five encounters without suffering any losses against Odd. This track record instils confidence in the Rosenborg fans, especially considering Odd's less than impressive away form in this fixture and their recent competitive matches. The prediction for this match is that Rosenborg will secure a victory but not without some resistance from Odd. That said, I am backing Rosenborg to cover the spread and continue their mini turnaround in form. |

07-30-23 | Viking v. SK Brann OVER 3.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -104 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
The match between Brann and Viking promises to be an exciting encounter, as both clubs are vying for a spot in the Conference League in the Norwegian top flight this season. The game is highly anticipated due to the thrilling and attacking style of play exhibited by both teams. Viking currently sits in an impressive 3rd position on the league table with 32 points, level with Molde in the 2nd position. Brann, on the other hand, occupies the 5th position with 27 points. A victory for Brann in this match would significantly narrow the gap between them and a potential European spot, adding extra motivation for the home side. However, Brann's recent form has been inconsistent, with two losses in their last three league games. This might give Viking some hope as they head into this fixture in electric form, securing four consecutive wins. The visitors will be brimming with confidence, especially since they were victorious in their last away game. Despite Viking's recent away success, Brann has been strong at home, having not lost any of their last five competitive games at their stadium. This home advantage adds to the unpredictability of the match. Considering the attacking nature of both teams and their ability to score goals, the prediction is that the game will be an entertaining one with plenty of action. Calling a clear winner seems challenging due to the competitive nature of the encounter. I am confident we will see goals in this game and will be backing over 3.5 goals |

07-30-23 | HamKam v. Lillestrom OVER 3.25 | 1-3 | Win | 105 | 4 h 1 m | Show | |
Lillestrom hosts Ham Kam today and both teams find themselves at different ends of the table, adding an extra layer of significance to the match. Currently sitting in the sixth position, Lillestrom has displayed some commendable performances in recent games. Despite losing their last fixture against Haugesund, they previously enjoyed a three-game winning streak in the league. As they face Ham Kam, Lillestrom will view them as beatable opponents, considering their recent form. On the other hand, Ham Kam is determined to continue their positive momentum, having secured back-to-back wins in their last two matches. This string of positive results has bolstered their confidence, and they will approach this fixture with determination to perform well. When playing at home, Lillestrom has had mixed results, with two losses and three wins in their last five matches across all competitions. Notably, they have won their last two encounters when hosting Ham Kam, which gives them a psychological advantage. However, Ham Kam cannot be underestimated, especially in their away games, where they have won two out of their last three matches. This demonstrates their ability to pose a strong challenge even on the road. A consistent theme in the recent matches of both teams is their goal-scoring prowess. Lillestrom has scored 12 goals in their last four games, while Ham Kam has netted nine times in their last five matches. Therefore, it is safe to expect goals in this fixture, making it an enticing prospect for spectators. In summary, the game between Lillestrom and Ham Kam promises to be a closely contested one. While Lillestrom may have the edge due to their home advantage and recent history against Ham Kam, the visitors' current form suggests they are more than capable of delivering a strong challenge. With both teams exhibiting goal-scoring abilities, I anticipate an entertaining match. I am going with over 3.25 goals in this one |

07-30-23 | Stromsgodset +192 v. Aalesund | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
In this intriguing match-up, Aalesund, currently at the bottom of the table, hosts Stromgodset, and the home side is facing the imminent threat of relegation from the top flight. Aalesund's performance this season has been disappointing, and they have struggled to accumulate points, making them one of the weakest teams in any division in Europe. Their recent form is concerning, as they head into this fixture with a four-game losing streak. This poor run of results should make it easier for the visitors, Stromgodset, to secure three points in this match. Stromgodset had a surprising victory against Rosenborg at the beginning of July, but since then, their form has been less than impressive. Nonetheless, facing Aalesund, who have been struggling, presents an opportunity for Stromgodset to regain their winning ways and improve their position on the league table. Although Aalesund has a decent record against Stromgodset in previous encounters, with two wins from the last three meetings, their recent performance at home has been far from satisfactory. With four losses from their last five home games, Aalesund's vulnerability at their own ground should work in favor of Stromgodset. Given the contrasting form and the desperation of Aalesund, Stromgodset should feel confident about securing all three points in this fixture and I am backing them to win outright. |

07-30-23 | Silkeborg IF v. FC Midtjylland -0.5 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
It's matchday two in Denmark, and FC Midtjylland is gearing up to face Silkeborg later today. FC Midtjylland had a promising start to the season, securing a win against Hvidovre IF and performing well in their recent Europa League match. On the other hand, Silkeborg suffered a loss at home against Brondby during the opening weekend and is fully aware of the challenges they will face during this away trip. Their performance in pre-season was inconsistent, which carried over into the opening weekend, resulting in three losses in their last five games. While FC Midtjylland did lose a friendly match against Aalborg at the beginning of July, they have since displayed impressive form, winning their last four matches. As a result, they enter this fixture as clear favorites to achieve victory. In previous encounters between these two clubs, the matches have been closely contested, with a 3-3 draw being the outcome in their last head-to-head. Moreover, two out of their last three meetings have ended in draws. However, one thing that remains constant is the abundance of goals in their clashes, with a total of 15 goals scored in their last three encounters. Additionally, FC Midtjylland has a strong track record when hosting these games, having won four out of the last five occasions. Considering their current form and historical performance at home, I am confident that FC Midtjylland will emerge victorious in this fixture. Back FC Midtjylland to secure the win. |

07-29-23 | Varbergs v. Halmstads -0.5 | 5-0 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
Upon thoroughly analyzing this match and closely observing both teams' performances throughout the season, it becomes evident to me that the home side, Halmstad, is poised for a victory today. While Halmstad's performances this season may not have been extraordinary, when compared to their opponents, they are performing significantly better. Currently holding the seventh spot with 25 points, they stand in stark contrast to Varberg, who languishes at the bottom of the league with a mere eight points from 16 games. Halmstad's home record has been a mix of results, comprising three wins, three draws, and two losses this campaign. However, what's impressive is their unbeaten streak in the last eight league games, both at home and away, securing four wins in that period, including a notable 2-1 away triumph against today's opponents, Varberg. On the contrary, Varberg has struggled on the road, managing only one away win out of eight games, suffering five defeats in the process. Their current form, home and away, over the last six matches has been disheartening, with five defeats and just one draw. Despite my efforts to find reasons to hesitate in favor of Halmstad, I have been unsuccessful. While they may not be among the top-performing teams in the league, they are certainly far from being one of the worst. Positioned as a mid-table team, Halmstad is significantly stronger than Varberg, who has been in a dismal state lately. Moreover, Halmstad playing in front of their passionate home fans only reinforces my conviction that they are destined for victory today, and I anticipate them to cover the spread comfortably. |

07-29-23 | Molde -0.75 v. Stabaek | 1-0 | Win | 50 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
Molde, the reigning Norwegian champions, face a challenging task in defending their title, as their chances of retaining it appear slim. However, they still have a strong incentive to secure a European spot, currently sitting just outside the qualifying positions. Therefore, a victory in this match becomes crucial. Molde's away performances have been inconsistent this season, posing as a weakness for them. Nevertheless, there are signs of improvement as they notably defeated Valerenga 4-0 in their last road game and held the runaway league leaders, Bodo/Glimt, to a 2-2 draw at their home ground. Recent form suggests that they are starting to find their rhythm away from home and overall have won four and drawn one of their last five matches. Stabaek, on the other hand, finds themselves dangerously close to the relegation zone. Dropping points is not an option for them, but their current position reflects the quality of their team and their recent results. At the start of the season, Stabaek displayed strength at home, remaining undefeated in their first six home games. However, they have experienced a slight decline recently, with just one point earned in their last three home matches, contributing to an overall tally of only two points from their last seven league matches, both home and away. Considering the above analysis, I have a strong conviction that Molde will emerge victorious in today's match. Their current form appears promising, while Stabaek's performance raises concerns. I am backing last season's champions to cover the 3/4 ball spread today. |

07-29-23 | Sandefjord v. Valerenga OVER 3 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 34 m | Show | |
Valerenga and Sandefjord are currently facing a tough season in Norway, and the possibility of relegation looms over both teams. With just one point separating them, neither team has been able to find consistent success, whether playing at home or away. Valerenga's performance at home has been particularly disappointing, having lost their last four consecutive home games and managing only one win in front of their home fans throughout the league this season. This suggests that home advantage has not been in their favor. Similarly, Sandefjord hasn't fared much better away from home, securing zero wins and only two draws this season. In fact, they may even be slightly worse off in away games compared to Valerenga's home performances. When two struggling teams like this meet, predicting a clear winner becomes challenging. It would largely be guesswork, but there are other aspects to consider when placing bets. One interesting option is the total goals market. The sportsbooks have set the overs at three goals instead of the more common over 2.5 goals, and there's a good reason for it. In their recent away games, Sandefjord has been involved in high-scoring matches with 6, 7, 5, and 5 goals in their last four games. Similarly, Valerenga's home matches have seen 4 out of 6 games with at least 3 goals and 3 games with at least 4 goals. These statistics indicate a high probability of a goal-filled match, not just based on previous results, but also because both teams have little choice but to adopt an attacking approach. Draws and defeats won't be of any help to them anymore; they must strive for victories, and the only way to guarantee a win is by outscoring their opponent. Considering this analysis, it seems like a sensible bet to take over 3 goals in this match. |

07-29-23 | Elfsborg v. Hacken OVER 3.25 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
The upcoming match in Sweden between the top two teams in the Allsvenskan, Elfsborg and Hacken, is of significant importance as it could have a major impact on the title race. A victory for Elfsborg would put them in a strong position to clinch the title, while Hacken will be equally determined to narrow the four-point gap between them to just one point. With both teams performing well, this is one of those games where either team could emerge as the winner, and a draw is also a plausible outcome. Given their current form, it's challenging to distinguish a clear favorite, and I won't be making a prediction in that regard. However, what caught my attention is the goal line set at over 3 1/4 goals, which may seem high but is justified by the teams' recent performances. Hacken, as the home side, has been in exceptional form, winning their last six home games. Moreover, five of those matches witnessed at least four goals, with the remaining one featuring three goals. On the other hand, Elfsborg has been formidable in their away matches, winning their last seven on the road. Out of their last five away games, three of them saw at least four goals, while the other two recorded three goals. Considering the significance of the match, the atmosphere created by the crowd, and the impressive performances of both teams, taking advantage of the over 3 1/4 goals bet appears to be a very favorable option. As a result, my recommendation is to go for over 3 1/4 goals, as it seems like a promising bet given the context of the game and the team's recent goal-scoring form. |

07-27-23 | Nigeria W v. Australia W -1 | 3-2 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
The pick in this one has to be Australia and I am confident they will not only win this game but win it by a couple of goals. The Nigerians did very well holding Canada to a 0-0 draw in their opening game, they were second-best throughout the game, they saw just 32% of the ball, managed just one shot on goal, although they did restrict the Canadians to just three shots on goal and had less than half the completed passes that Canada had. There is no reason to think it will be any different in this game, the Aussies will dominate and it is just a question of how clinical they will be in front of the goal. In terms of form, the Aussies have won 10 of their last 11Â matches and rarely concede keeping seven clean sheets in those 11 games. Nigeria have come into some sort of form winning three and drawing one of their last four, however, prior to that they had lost seven on the bounce and none of their recent wins was against one of the top sides. One last factor is the home crowd, which is a huge advantage for the Aussies and all things carefully considered, the Australians winning and covering the spread is the bet I am placing with full confidence. |

07-26-23 | Netherlands W v. USA W -0.75 | 1-1 | Loss | -107 | 2 h 51 m | Show | |
It is quite hard to oppose the USA and for very good reason. They are the tournament's favourites and while they were underwhelming in their first game, they did win it 3-0. The reason I say underwhelming is that they were minus six on the spread, they shows what was expected from them. The Netherlands also won their first game of the tournament, a very credible 1-0 win over Portugal but they will find the USA a lot more daunting an opponent. Don't get me wrong, the Netherlands are a good side but they are not at the level of the States, for example, the USA are on a ten-game winning run, whereas the Netherlands are 6-3 in wins to losses. The spread has been generally set at 1/2 or 3/4 but in reality, it should be 1.5 so I am more than happy to take the USA giving up 3/4 on the spread. |

07-26-23 | Ireland W v. Canada W OVER 2 | 1-2 | Win | 105 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
In the Women's World Cup, Ireland and Canada are set to face each other in their second games, and one thing is certain – both teams desperately need to score and secure a victory. Anything less than that could mean the end of their World Cup aspirations. Unfortunately, neither Canada nor Ireland managed to find the back of the net in their respective first games, and they are well aware that this must change if they want to progress further. Typically, the first games at a tournament are filled with nerves, leading to a scarcity of goals. However, with their World Cup hopes on the line, both teams must shift their mindset and prioritize scoring to enhance their chances of qualifying for the next round. I expect them to adopt an attacking approach in this crucial match. Compared to their previous encounters against Nigeria and Australia, I anticipate this game to be more open, providing greater goal-scoring opportunities for both sides. Therefore, I am confident in predicting that there will be over 2 goals scored during the match. Interestingly, the odds for over 2 goals have pleasantly surprised me, as I had anticipated them to be set for over 2.5 goals. Given this favorable situation, I don't intend to miss out on the opportunity and will place my bet accordingly. To conclude, this game is bound to witness goals, as it is an absolute necessity for both teams. I am very optimistic that we will witness at least 2 goals, and there's a strong possibility of seeing 3 or more goals during this crucial encounter. |

07-23-23 | Rosenborg v. Stromsgodset +145 | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Stromgodset and Rosenborg are set to face off in a crucial match as both clubs aim to improve their below-par performances this season. Traditionally strong sides in the league, they currently find themselves below midtable after 14 matches, a position that neither of them is content with. This game provides an opportunity for them to showcase their abilities and make a statement on the pitch. Stromgodset has displayed a mixed performance so far this season, with four wins and two losses from their six home league games. On the other hand, Rosenborg has struggled on their away travels, with no wins recorded. This makes the upcoming trip even more challenging for them, as they seek to secure points on unfamiliar territory. While Stromgodset lost their previous match, they have shown better form overall, securing three wins from their last five matches, compared to Rosenborg's three losses and a draw in their recent outings. Despite Rosenborg winning the last fixture between the two teams, Stromgodset has a better head-to-head record, securing more victories in their last five encounters. Furthermore, Stromgodset has been solid at home, having not lost any of the last four times they have hosted this fixture, winning two of them. Based on these factors, my bet for this fixture is a Stromgodset win. |

07-23-23 | Valerenga v. Odds BK OVER 2.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 56 m | Show | |
Odd v Valerenga promises to be a competitive and closely contested match. The two teams are separated by just 8 points on the league table after 15 matches, with Odd having a slightly better season so far. Odd will be eager to secure more points to improve their position on the table, while Valerenga, dangerously close to the relegation spots, will be desperate to collect points to climb higher. The fans of Valerenga will expect their team to return from this away trip with all three points, but it won't be an easy task. Odd has won three out of their last five league games, displaying good form, while Valerenga has had mixed results, with two wins and two losses in their last five matches. History shows that when these two teams meet, there are usually plenty of goals scored. Odd holds a favorable record in this fixture, with three wins and one loss in their last five encounters. Valerenga did manage to win their last visit to Odd in 2021, but the likelihood of a high-scoring game remains high. Considering the attacking potential of both teams and their propensity to score goals in previous matchups, the prediction for this fixture is over 2.5 goals. Both clubs are expected to test each other's defense, resulting in an exciting game with multiple goals. |

07-23-23 | Stabaek v. HamKam OVER 2.5 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 54 m | Show | |
The match between Ham Kam and Stabæk is indeed crucial for both clubs as they seek to improve their positions on the league table. With just three points separating the teams, the match is expected to be closely contested, especially considering their leaky defences. HamKam's home record shows that they have won three out of seven home games this season, indicating that they have been inconsistent in front of their home crowd. They have scored 13 goals in those matches, showcasing their attacking prowess. On the other hand, Stabæk's away form has been lackluster, with just one win in six away games. Despite this, they have also managed to score 13 goals on their travels, making them a potential threat in this match. Both teams' recent form has been mixed, with Ham Kam recording two wins and two losses in their last four league games, while Stabæk is on a winless streak of five matches, although they have drawn two of their last three games. This could give Stabæk some confidence heading into the match. Considering the attacking capabilities of both teams and their leaky defences, the prediction of over 2.5 goals seems reasonable. The match is likely to be an open and entertaining affair, with both teams looking to capitalize on offensive opportunities. |

07-23-23 | SK Brann v. Tromso | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
Tromso will face Brann in what promises to be a closely contested encounter. Both clubs currently have 27 points on the league table and will be eager to secure a victory to improve their position. Tromso's recent form has been mixed, with a defeat against Rosenborg in their last game, making it two consecutive matches without a win. Nonetheless, they have been stronger at home, having not lost any of their last three matches at their home ground. Brann comes into this fixture with some confidence, having secured a win against Stromsgodset in their previous match. However, their record at Tromso's ground has not been impressive, with just one victory in the last five encounters there. Additionally, they have struggled in away matches, suffering two losses in their recent league games on the road. With both teams determined to claim victory and create a three-point gap between them, the match is likely to be fiercely contested. Tromso will look to Vegard Erlien, their leading scorer, to find the back of the net and inspire his team to a much-needed win in front of their home supporters. Based on the current scenario, the prediction for this fixture is that Tromso will not lose and therefore backing them with a 0 ball creates a good safety net in the event of a draw. |
