Gorica are basically untouchable at home in the second league, and they need the points to fight for the second, maybe even the first place. They have no absences, unlike Novigrad who are missing 11 players. The hosts respect Novigrad, but are sure that they're the better team, they're fighting for the title and have to win. The points mean nothing for the guests, and they were beaten in Velika Gorica this season already, 1-3. They got beaten in their last three away games, and scored only one goal. Details

Segesta should not miss an opportunity like this. Zadar will be relegated and do not need these points. Last fall, when Zadar still had a chance of staying the league, Segesta beat them away. Segesta need these points, they are complete, while the home team won't be able to count on some starters today. Segesta are in fine form. After three straight wins, they got a point last round in the Lucko game, their direct rivals. Motivation, form, quality - all of those segments are better at the visitors and that should see them win. Details

Dinamo II are coming without 16 players, a handicap that's almost impossible to make up for. Sopić's players are in the first team and the juniors' lineup, some are suspended, some injured. They don't need the points, and neither do Gorica really, even though they still didn't secure staying. After winning only one point in the last three rounds, this is an ideal chance for Gorica to start winning again. Dinamo suit them, they've beaten them in the both duels this season. Details

Cibalia's players announced strike because they haven't been getting their paychecks, despite the announcements. But they practiced as usual, and the coach Stanko Mršić is too experienced to allow chaos in the changing room in a moment this delicate. Cibalia are after the first place they're sharing with Šibenik, and they'll do everything to get it, regardless of their problems. Dinamo II feel no pressure, and are coming to Vinkovci extremely weakened. They're missing key players from every field, and they can hardly overcome a handicap that big. Details

Hrvatski dragovoljac are on a four-game losing run in Sesvete. They got beaten up in the last round by Cibalija where they conceded five goals. And that leaky defense will be even more weak than in Vinkovci. Sesvete were somewhat slower in the second part of the league, but in the last round they showed their worth against Dinamo, and their home strength has been known. Out of the last 15 home matches in the second league, they won in 14. Details

Gorica rarely lose at home, and only Šibenik and Imotski managed to score there this season, with five clean on the net. Gorica don't rush, and they probably won't rush against Zadar. They'll try to break them with a stronger rhythm. Zadar, dealing with huge financial issues, played 120 minutes on Wednesday, and lost. They didn't do the regenerative practice on Thursday, and they left for Gorica on early Friday morning. Gorica were even to the second best team, Šibenik, last weekend, so they've got to use the situation the guests are in. Details

Zadar are in a difficult financial situation and it is questionable how will they manage to go through the entire championship, which is evident on the league table. They played great at home against Lucko in the last round, but away games are a different story. Since they arrive for away games just moments before the game starts, it is no wonder they are not that great. Now they will be playing without two of their important first team players. Actually, their every first team player is important because they don't have a lot of senior players on the team. But 40-year-old captain Surac means a lot to them, and he will be absent today. Segesta's important player Pejic will also be absent, they will be under pressure after three defeats, but they have a chance to get back on the winning track against the boys from Zadar. They played great in SIbenik last weekend and they lost the match in the finish. This Zadar is a great chance for them. Details

Toronto are massacred, they are coming without two players who scored 27 goals combined. Playing without Giovinco will be especially hard, their whole game was based around him in the last months. Their away games are weak, they conceded 17 goals in the last five away matches, and now they're going to face Seattle whose Dempsey recovered, so Seattle now have a potent offensive line. Seattle should definitely take advantage of that, the points are really important in the playoff battle. Details

The away team is missing 15 players and that is a key factor in this bet. For example, Cekici is not on that list, a first team player who often helps their second team, but he also won't be playing against Cibalia. Same as the Spaniard Olmo, Cuk has talented young players at his disposal, but they rarely played together in this lineup. Absences of all the main players should be felt. Cibalia are not too strong, but they put together two wins and they should use the situation here. Details

Even though New England don't often seem convincing, they get great results at home, and got only one defeat in the last 21 league home matches. They'll host Toronto, a team who scored seven goals in two draws in the last two away matches. They showed a great character last weekend - they were losing 0-3 against Columbus, but managed to even it out. But that's the problem. That comeback was directed by their best player Giovinco. He injured his ankle and missed an All Star match on Wednesday. He might not play in this duel, but even if he does, he's not completely ready. He scored 13 goals so far, and had nine assists, and Toronto simply don't have a player to cover for him. They miss a lot of other players, too, two most important being the midfielders Bradley and Warner. In five matches against New England, Toronto couldn't win a single one. Details

Spartak lost both of the visiting games in their doemstic league this season and failed to beat Olimpic in Sarajevo as well. They are now to play at Toumba, the stadium at which PAOK feel great. Regardless of the problems the home team are having, the team from Slovakia will have a tough time dealing with their game. It's hot, which PAOK are used to. They beat Lokomotiva from Zagreb and Spartak don't stand much better chance, especially due to all the injury-struggles. Details

New England's defense is horrible, there are 'leaks' all over the place, and now they lost their captain. New York City are an offensively powerful team led by David Villa. With the way New England have been looking lately, City should score at least once. But the home team also have a good offensive chances, especially because the away team's defense is not very good. Of the 21 games played so far, Revolution played 13 of them with three or more goals, two goals were scored in six of them and none in two. Details

The home team beat Toronto 2-0 in an away match a month ago, thanks to David Villa. He also scored two away goals against Montreal last weekend. Toronto have Giovinco, but the Italian is lonely because his team lost four players who went to play the Gold Cup. This last weekend showed how Toronto are dealing without them - they lost an away match against Los Angeles 4-0. Lampard will be out for NYC, but he wasn't playing so far either... Details

The first math was goalless, but that's what the Estonians were after, and their coach confirmed it. Levadia had big problems with the strong opponents on bad artificial turf and a small field, but the score for them is positive. In the rematch we're going to be up for a completely different duel. The field is wider, and the grass (at least for the one in Belfast) - is fantastic. Levadia are in full shape, they celebrated last weekend in the championship, while the away team view July as a vacation month. Because of that we won't see captain Coates. Levadia are a more serious team. Details

Portland are in a great form, and they're especially convincing at home where they won the last four league matches with the goal difference of 9-1. They beat San Jose in the last two matches, but the Earthquakes are coming without their best player, Wondolowski, and that's their biggest problem. Not only him, there are other important absences, and they can't really make up for that on the Portland's grass. Details

San Jose proved they can do well against Seattle away and their top player Wondolowski got his efficiency up. If the home team had their top line-up available today, the visitors would stand much less chance but the situation is quite bad for the Sounders. They are decimated ahead of this game, not able to count on two top forwards Dempsey and Martins. The third most efficient forward Barret is out as well. They recorded a bad Cup defeat and will most definitely want to respond but it's questionable what can be done without the top players. Details
