I don't see this ending with more than two goals. Both teams mostly record unders. Rabotnicki were at a 2,50 goal average in the championship last season, with 19 unders and 17 overs at 2,5 margin. Their results in Europe the last two seasons are great arguments for this under. They went over this margin only once in 12 (in the last one against Tre Penna). Their results are: Flora 0-1, 2-0, Jelgava 0-1, 2-0, Trabzonspor 1-1, 1-1, Rubin Kazan 0-1, 1-1, Budućnost 1-1, 0-1, Tre Penne 1-0, 6-0. Dinamo Minsk recorded 1,8 goal per game in Belarus and have 11 unders and 4 overs at the 2,5 goal margin. Also, they conceded just three away goals this season. Both teams will be careful in the first game, which only gets us to a high stake for this under. Details

I don't want to get into predicting who are the better team in this game, because there is an obvious small advantage for France, but the number of goals bet seems great to me. With a glance at their head-to-heads we can see that there were 18 goals in 9 games. But if we leave out the games from 2001 and 2002 which ended 3-1 and 3-0 for Norway, we are left with only 11 goals in the last 7 games, and the last two relevant games, also in France, ended with France winning 1-0. If we take into consideration France's games, we can see that in the last year they recorded some tough results: Canada 0-1 (N. 4), Brazil 1-1 (H, 8), Spain 1-0 (H, 13), England 0-0 (!, 5), 2-1 (N, 5), Netherlands (2-1, 12), China 3-0 (H, 14). On the other side, since the Swede took over the Norwegian bench, Norway have only two overs on this margin in 8 games (2,5). Norway defeated Sweden 2-1 (H, 9th team in FIFA ranking), England 1-0 (A, 5), Portugal 2-0 (A, 38) and Switzerland 2-1 (H, 17), drew against Iceland 1-1 (N, 19) and lost to Spain 0-3 (N, 13), Japan 0-2 (N 6), and USA 0-1 (H, 1). Considering the importance of the game, French playing style, they are practicing a defensive formation (4-5-1) for the EC, and the fact that everyone want the best possible result in games like these because of the atmosphere, I believe that we will not see many chances in this game. Belgium had one shot to which Bouhaddi had to react. That means their defense is playing great and that this prediction deserves high stakes. Details

Torpedo have no chance of going through but they will want to play a good game. I expect them to attack from the first minute and, in turn, I expect a productive game because Trencin clearly can't play any other way. The home team need a win by 4 goals to be able to think about getting through and I don't expect a game with less than two goals. Trencin are very efficient (3,37 goals on average last season). On the other hand, Trencin mostly record unders (2,17 goals on average) but that's Gerogian league. Things are different now and I think we cannot miss out on this. I believe Torpedo will want an honorable farewell to Europe. Trencin proved they can score against anyone and that is why I expect at least 3 goals here. Details

The difference between these two teams is the levels at which they play. Clyde finished three points above the bottom table team while Airdrie lost any chance of promotion in a penalty shootout.Last season when coach Ferguson already had an almost complete team, they were 1-3 at half time. Aurdrie are clearly happy with where they were last season, while Clyde need to put together a team for next season. Airdrie beat Annan Athletic in the last test game and Annan are in the league with Clyde. That's good for this tip. What's not so good is the draw of last season with lower-league Spartans. The reports,however, say that there were many missed attempts on the visiting side. I don't any reason why they would not repeat last season's record in test games (3-1-0). Details

The first game went as planned. The Rangers had much more possession, dominance when it comes to shots and every other offensive element. The team from Luxembourg, on the other hand, focused on defending their goal. They were partially successful in it and even managed to win 1-0. Home team coach Amodio was very clear about the tactics for today - they will once again try and prevent Rangers from scoring. That, in turn, means they will have very little chance for scoring. The team from Scotland did a good test period and have recorded just one goal this season in three games. It was to the Welsh champions. Details

We don't have such a clean situation with any other pairs today like we do with this one. Last season the team from the Faroe Islands, NSI, played against Belarus Shakhtyor whose quality is similar to today's opponents, Dinamo Minsk (Dinamo are second-placed with 10-1-3 record and 18-5 goal difference, while Shakhtyor are at the top of the league with 11-2--1 and 21-7 goal difference, and the situation was similar last year), and they lost both games 0-2 and 0-5. The situation is even better today than it was last season, when the return fixture in Belarus was just a formality after a 2-0 away win. The home team will want to secure their advancement today, with a convincing win. That is why the -2.5 handicap seems like a good option to me. The only downside to this bet is Dinamo's bad efficiency in the championship, but that is the Belarus league, which cannot be compared with the Faroe Islands' representatives, who lost to Irish team Linfield 2-0 in the first game two years ago. A bet that has no downsides and that is slightly better than the handicap, and I decided for it because it is widely available, is the bet that both teams will not score or if you can take that NSI will not score. If we look at their stats from national competitions, Dinamo have been 'tough' in their championship, conceded only 5 goals in 14 games, and if we look at the home games, in 6 games they played, only first-placed team (Shakhtyor) managed to score here, so it is unlikely that the team from the Faroe Islands will score here, especially since they failed to do so in their last 4 away games in Europe.

This is the Queen's Cup semifinals. It's a meeting between teams that played the semis last season two. Barcelona beat Levante 3-0 and lost to Atletico Madrid in the final 2-3. Valencia lost to Atletico in the semis 1-2 in extra time. However, Valencia knocked out Barcelona from this competition two seasons ago and lost in the final to Sporting de Huelva 2-1. Barcelona recorded 75 points in the championship and conceded just 13 goals in 30 games. Valencia finished in third with 11 goals conceded. These teams met 7 times in the last 3 years. Barcelona won 3 times, Valencia 3 and they recorded a 1-1 draw in December of 2016. Interestingly, 15 goals were scored in those last 7 games. This may be the last game for Valencia's coach Toro. The draw against Barcelona away is a big reason for his side to be optimistic today. They know how to play big games as they proved this season with that draw and the two draws with champions Atletico Madrid (1-1, 0-0). Their problem are games against so called small teams. They had 8 draws in those this season which is definitely too many. That proves their lack of offensive power, as do games against Barcelona and Madrid. Barcelona lost an important defender who played all 28 games this season. Also, Alves got injured in a national team friendly and won't be here either. However, Barcelona have a lot of experience in this competition and we cannot miss out on this pick. Each of these teams concede a goal in every third game if we take a look at the stats. Their h2h games had an average of 2,14 goals in the last three seasons. They are now meeting in a very important game and everything suggests it will be an under. Details

A look at the league table tells us how important this game is for Levante. David Madrid, their coach analyzed the game well: "This is an important game for us, there are less and less points for grabs. A win would be an extra push for us for the finish of the league which we want to enter outside the relegation zone. We are facing known opponents, whom we defeated in the Cup of the King, we will try to repeat that". Jaen will face Levante who are in desperate need of points, and this comes after three difficult games (Peniscola, Inter, El Pozo) I expect a difficult game, Levante are a different team from the one before coach Madrid, they have only 2 overs on this margin in the last 8 games, against two top teams, El Pozo (3-4) and Barcelona (4-7). If we look at the comparable opponents, Magna scored two goals 20 days ago, I don't think Jaen can score more.
Under of the halftime (2.5) is also a good option, David Madrid is an expert whose focus is on defense, and he will ask of their players to be careful at the start of the game . They held on well against much stronger Barcelona in the previous round, the result was 4-4 until the very end, so that is just another confirmation how much Levante have improved and that they can be equal with Jaen.

Magna and Palma played Cup finals. Magna had two tough games, knocked out Barcelona after penalty shootout (2-2) and lost to El Pozo (1-4). The day before, Palma lost to El Pozo seemingly easily (1-4) but that was a game which they could have won. Both teams are exhausted from the Cup but Magna finished with more 'casualties'. They will have even shorter roster tomorrow, team captain Eseverri and Marel are out, just like Yoshikawa and Victor. Amagna are well experienced and won't rush into anything, especially in a situation like this against opponents who are just as experienced and capable of punishing any mistakes. On the other hand, the visiting coach said he is interesting only in three points because they can be crucial in catching up with Jean and Peniscola int he race for spot 4. Looking at Magna's results, we see that the number of their goals decreases as the season advances. That often happens in Spanish league. They have 17 unders and 11 overs at this margin (6,5), while Palma have 15/10. Looking at the last 5 meetings by both teams, only Palma had one over. Defense are getting tougher, playoffs is closer and everyone wants as good a spot as possible. I don't see how this could finish with 7 or more goals.

QF of the Spanish cup is taking place on neutral grounds at the Quijote Arena in Ciudad Real. These two teams played QFs last season and Barcelona won 5-2 (4-1). A lot has changes since at Barcelona. The team is younger, Andreu Plaza joined. The most important thing is that Aicardo and Bateria once again got injured. They joined the players who have been on the injury list for a while now. Four of their top players players are out.Things are so bad that the Spanish federation allowed Lopez to join from Catgas a few days ago. He had only a few practices with the team, though. Yes, Barcelona beat El Pozo with this team last week but El Pozo were without half of the team and Barcelona were inferior in that game. Magna are, I'm sure ready to stun the great Barcelona. The Cup is a specific competition in which experience might not be crucial. Details

About a year ago, Novaja Generacija shocked everyone, and they shocked Sibiryak who were favorites at the time with 1-4 (1-2). Since then a lot has changed, especially in Novaja Generacija. They don't have Thales, Joel, Franklin. In short, Novaja will rely on young players this season. Had the fixture not paired Novaja up with Progress and Ukhta in the first and second leg, I don't believe Novaja would have a single point, despite the home turf. This way, Novaja have four points against the weak and terrified Progress, and today's hosts Sibiryak have only three. But those three are huge because they were recorded against defending champions Dynamo Moscow. In both of the matches Sibiryak showed that they're competitors for the first place. Last season they were third by beating Tyumen, and they ended a successful season in the best possible way. This is the start of the season, but Sibiryak can't allowed themselves to fail. The additions from Brazil who were catching the rhythm last season, are the well-known Leo Santana and Simi. They are leading an almost identical line-up who have to show that last season was no coincidence. We're talking about obvious difference in quality. Head-to-heads mean nothing since Novaja's team have been completely changed. In the pre-season match they lost against the weakest team of the league, Ukhta. Sibiryak are a team who rarely disappoint at home because they have a specific hall and fans, and a tradition of good results when they're the favorites. Novaja are weak compared to last season, and they can be more than happy with the four points they have. Details
