England proved to be the favorites in this group with two wins over Latvia 3-0 and Scotland 3-1 home. They also played a draw with the Dutch away. The key players on their team won the U20 WC this summer. They sailed through to the title with 6 wins and a draw, beating Argentina and Italy 30-0 and 3-1. That team is even stronger now, especially in offense. Their manager said that the strong suit of this team is offense and anything but an offensive-oriented game would be crazy. Andorra, on the other hand, are mostly made of players from the domestic league. They cannot count on some of their key players here. In the first round, they managed to get a point against Latvia but they lost the second one home to Ukraine 6-0. England are much better than Ukraine. A win would cement the top spot for the English and I think they won't lack motivation here. Andorra is in for another bad defeat. Details

Zilina are one of the top teams in the league and not just this season. They were the champions last season when they recorded 14 wins in 15 games. This season, they played 5 home games and lost to Presov in the second round 3-2. Since then, they have 4 wins: Senica 7-1, top table Trnava 3-1, Trenčin in spot 8 5:1 and runner-ups Slovan 3:2. In these 5 rounds they scored 20 goals and conceded 8. Last season in 15 home games they scored 54 and conceded just 12.
In three h2h games of last season, Zilina recorded 2-0, 1-0 and 7-1 wins. They won 5 out of 6 h2h games in handicap here over the past 5 years. Zemplin are much better home than away. Last season, they won just 3 out of 16 away games and had goal difference 17-37. Nothing changed this season. They have just 4 points in the first 6 away games. In 4 home games, they have two defeats and a win over Zlata and Senica. Zilina had a bad start to the season but that changed n the last few rounds. Their opponents, on the other hand, recorded 3 defeats in the last 4 rounds.
Zilina scored under 3 goals home only 4 times in this and last season. They scored 2 three times and one goal once. In 16 games, they scored 3 or more goals and won 14 out of the last 20 home games in handicap. Details

Opava are the most efficient team of the league this season. They average 3,78 goals per game, while Viktoria sit in spot 6 with an average of 3 goals. Out of 9 games they played, Opava had 6 overs and 4 times went over 3,5 goals. Viktoria had five overs in nine games and 3 out of 4 unders finished at 2 goals. Last season they played two h2h games. Whese their current coaches were in charge, they recorded a 2-2 draw while earlier this season they played a 3-3 draw here. The visiting coach prefers a very offensive oriented game in a 4-1-3-2 formation which resulted in 22 goals scored so far. On the other hand, Viktoria's goal difference this season is 14-13. Opava also played two Cup games this season, both were 3,5 over while Viktoria played three cup games, all three were also 2,5 overs. Opava played 4 away games this season Frydek 1-1 (team with worst goal average in the league), Usti nad Labem 5-2 (average 3,11, similar to Viktoria), Znojmo 2-1 (average 2,78), Trinec 3-3 (average 2,44). Viktoria played 4 home games. With Vernsdorf (2,38 on average) they played an under, just like with Primbram (average 2,5). They have 5-0 with Vitkorvice (average 3,0) and Banik S (average 2,8) 2-1. That's two unders and two overs. Looking at only relevant games, these teams have only overs. Details

Malaga have 5 defeats in the first 5 games and are now very motivated to get a good result. On the other hand, Bilbao recorded defeats in the last two games and also want to play a tough game that would see them get some confidence before EL next week. The fact the last 8 h2h games were won by one goal at the most says it all. Athletic won three times, Malaga twice and three games were ties. In the last 5 h2h games, 8, 10+2, 8, 5+1 i 10 yellow cards and red cards were shown. The ref that officiated their meeting from last season (10 yellow and 2 red cards) will officiate this game too. His average in Primera is around 6 yellow cards per game. The last few games of these teams that he officiated always saw a lot of yellow and ref cards. Only the game between Celta and Malaga was different (only two yellow cards). At the other games: Malaga - Celta (6), Eibar – Bilbao (6+1), Bilbao – Deportivo (6), Gijon – Bilbao (4+1), Granada – Bilbao (9) i Malaga – Sociedad (6+1). Malaga have 6 against Las Palmas and 5 against Eibar home this season.When it comes relevant games from late last season, there are: Celta (6), Sevilla (8), Valencia (6) and Barcelona (8+1).Bilba have Las Palmas 5 and 3+1 away this season. Late last season, they have: Eibar (6+1), Villareala (9+1), Sociedad (9) i Sevilla (8) and Celta (2). Celta played United that week and rested almost the entire lineup. There was also 2 with Atletico in the second to last round when things were already settled. Details

Top offense in the league (Ried) and worst offense are to meet in this game. The first h2h was won by Reid 3-2. FAC this season have the highest average of goals per game (3,55) but that's because of the horribly defense. They had just 3 unders in 11 rounds, while Reid averaged 3,36 goals so far because of their brilliant offense. This season they recorded 8 overs and three unders. FAC conceded at least goals in 8 out of 11 games, while Ried scored at least 3 in 5. The home coach said they will attack and we can expect a lot of goals again. Details

I think this will be another offense-oriented game on both sides and that we will see goals just like in their last 8 h2h meetings. In the last 6 championship and two friendly games, their results were: 6-3, 2-1, 3-0, 4-0, 4-2, 5-2, 3-2 and 4-1. Last season these two teams had the highest goal average in the championship. Champions Zilina 3,57 per game, Trencin 3,37. In the first 7 rounds this season, that average is higher, 4,57 Zilina and 3,43 Trencin. Zilina have 6 overs in 7 games (all 5 overs 3,5) and Trencin 6 out of 7 (over 2,5). 17 out of 18 championship games for Zilina were overs (scored at least 2 goals in all 17 and 3 or more in 14). Trencin had overs in the last 9 out of 12 away championship games and I think that trend should continue here, regardless of the fact the away game has a new coach. Trencin conceded and scored goals in all 7 games this season and Zilina in 5 out of 7, which is another indicators we will see goals here. Aparat from the championship games, Zilina have two overs in CL against extremely defense-oriented Copenhagen (2-1 and 1-3) and two big wins in the Cup against lower league teams. Trencin have two overs and two unders (Bnei Yehuda, average of 2 goals per game) in EL and also two convincing wins in the cup. Details

Here we can expect a tough and physically demanding game in heated atmosphere of Piraeus whre it is never easy for away teams. Viktor Kassai, experienced Hungarian, will be the referee, and he is easy on the cards. In the last 10 games he gave 63 yellow cards and 4 red. As far as Europa League and Champions League are concerned, in his last game he gave out 7 yellow and one red card, and before that 5+1, 8, 7, 5, 4+2, 7+1. Only in the Barcelona vs. City game he showed less cards (5). These teams also play tough football in European competitions. Sporting played their first two games against FCSB, and in the first game there were 9 yellow and one red card (Brych was the referee, 6 cards per game), while there weren't as many at the second game, only 3 yellows (Cakir, 4 cards per game on average). From last season's games, I would point out visit at Legia (7+1) and at home against Dortmund (7), because I don't think the games against Real Madrid, Legia at home and BVB away are relevant. Against Porto, at the national championship, they have 7, 9 and against Benfica 4 and 6. Olympiacos have played 4 CL games this season, at Partizan 6 (Massa, 4 yellows per game), and 6 at home (Estrada, 4 yellow cards per game), against Rijeka 6+1 at home (Zwayer, 4) and 6 away (Makkelle, 3). Last season they were eliminated from the CL to Hapoel in the qualifiers, and they had 6 yellows twice. In the Europa League they have 2 against Besiktas at home (Makkelle), Osmanlispor8+1, Young Boys 6, Astana 8+1, Apoel 5, Arouca 9. In the national championship they have 6 at Panathinaikos, 7 and 8 at home against them. I think there is a reason Kassai is the referee in this game, and that it will not go under 7-8 yellow cards. Details

I think Innsbruck will win this and I think they should win pretty easily. FAC changed almost the entire team and the coach over the summer and things don't seem to be working properly. They are the worst team in the league with 7 defeats in the first 8 rounds with 6-24 goal difference. They managed to beat only Wattens 1-0 Wattens have just three points more than them. They lost the other games pretty convincingly, starting with the first home to Austria L. (spot 7), then to runner-ups Hartberg 3-1, Ried (4th spot) 3-2. They did particularly bad in the last 4 rounds: 3-0 to Neustadt, 3-1 to Liefering 3-0 to Kapfenberg and 4-0 to Linz in the last round. They lost even the meeting to Rapid's amateur team last week. Innsbruck, on the other hand, have 4 wins, 2 defeats and 2 draws in the first 8 rounds. They won 5 out of the last 6 h2h meetings. Last time they played was at this stadium in April this year. Innsburck won 2-1 (FAC scored from a penalty 90 minutes in).
Visitors to score over 1,5 goal is a good tip here too since they scored at least one in the last 20 visiting games. The home team conceded at least 3 goals in all 7 defeats this season. Details

I expect a fast pace from both side and quite a few goals. Both teams recorded a 5-1 win in the first round. Before that, they played two Cup games. Perugia beat Gubbio 2-1 and then Benevento 4-0. Pescara beat Triestina in overtime 5-3 (3-3) and then Brescia 3-1. Last season these teams did not meet but two seasons ago, their results were 0-4, 2-1, 1-2, 2-2 and 2-2. Both teams have new coaches. I think Pescara's coach Zeman doesn't need much introduction. His average last season at Lugani, Cagliari, Roma was over 3 goals. In the season 11/12, he got Pescara promoted with an average of 3,45 goals per game. On the other hand, Giunti isn't really known. Last season he was in charge at Maceratesse. His average was just under 2,5 but he always pushed the offense oriented 4-3-3 game. Maybe Perugia has the offensive potential he wants as the start to the season seems to show. Details

Goals under is what I like most here because we're in for another tough game, especially by the home team. Vitez have all 5 unders this season and they lost 4 games 1-0 and recorded a 1-1 draw with feeble Krupa home. Zrinjski have 3 unders and 2 overs this season. They have 3 unders in the last 4 h2h games. One of them was a friendly (2-0). The only over was in Zrinjski 2-1. If we take a look at the bigger picture, they have no overs since 2013 (9 unders and the aforementioned over). Last season, Vitez averaged 1,4 goal per game in regular season and 1,9 in the ten games when they fought to avoid relegation. They have 16 unders and just 2 overs home last season. Zrinjski averaged 2,5 goals in regular season and 2,2 in the final race for the title. Last season Vitez lost to Sarajevo 1-0, Zeljeznicar 2-0 and Zrinjski 1-0. Zrinjski played Mladost Doboj at 10, Siroki 1-1. There is the game at M Jajce 4-0 as an exception. Anything but another game with a small number of goals would be an exception. Zrinjski coach Sliskovic said this game will be tougher than the one against Sloboda in the last round which they won 2-0 Details

I expect another fast paced game here with a lot of goals like in their last 6 h2h meetings. The results were 5-1, 2-3, 3-3 when Annan hosted the games and 0-5, 2-2 and 2-3 when Montrose were the home team. In the last 11 h2h games, they have just one under (1-1). This season, together with Cup games, Annan have 6 overs and 2 unders. They have 3 overs in the first three games of the championship (2-1, 2-1, 5-1). Montrose have the same record - 6 overs from the first 8 games but they have a worse record from the first three championship rounds . one over (3-1) away and two unders home (1-0, 1-1). Last season, Annan had the highest goal average in the league with 3,31 goals per game while Montrose averaged 2,69. Last season, they have 12 overs from 18 home games. Details

A tough game with a small number of goals is expected here because Viitorul aren't efficient, while Slazburg have a very good defense. They had unders in both games against APOEL, just like against Rijeka. Before that game, they had two overs against the weak and less relevant Hibernians. Viitorul are very inefficient in the championship. Their goal average is just 1,17 goals per game after 6 rounds. The only over was the 3-0 home win over GAZ. On the toher hand, Salzburg don't have efficient game but that is because of their good defense. In 4 championship games, they had unders three times and the higher 2,75 goal average is due to the 5-1 win over Admira. In last season's Champions League, Salzburg recorded 5 unders in 6 games. The only over was the defeat to Schalke 3-1. In CH qualifiers, they had unders in all 6 games. Viitorul played just two CL games last season. After the 5-0 defeat to Gent away, they played a goalless draw in the second leg. I expect this to be controlled by Salzburg and not a lot of goals because the second leg is to played too. Details

I expect a tough game and a battle for every inch of the pitch. Last year Beroe were at an average of 2,12 goals per game, and in 32 rounds, they were under in 23. We can add to that the result from the first round of this season, 0-0, and the last three pre-season games that were all under. On the other side, Dunav were at an average of 2.42 goals, and in 36 rounds, they were under in 21. We can also add the under from the first round of the season, 2-0, and both EL qualification games (1-0, 2-0).
This will be the 6th head-to-head of these coaches, and in the last four in the past year was under (the only over 2-1 from 2015). IN those four games the results were 0-0 twice, 1-0 and 2-0. These two teams faced each other twice last season in the championship (0-0 and 0-4) and two friendlies (1-1 twice). Three of those 4 games were under, and the only over was in the championship, after Dunav's player was sent off. They played a friendly this season, but that is not relevant for this under. Details

I think the best option here is total goals at 2,5 margin. These two teams met in Europa League semis a few months ago. Ajax won 4-1 home, Lyon 3-1 home. Both teams play a similar, offense-oriented game with 3 forwards. Lyon's championship games were second most efficient in the French championship (3,29 goals on average) and Ajax finished the season with an average of 3 goals per game in the Dutch championship. Lyon went over 2,5 goals in the last 5 out of 6 games, apart from the Sporting game (1-0) a year ago. Ajax went over 2,5 in 8 out of the last 10 friendly games and 7 went over 3,5. Everything but another efficient game would be a surprise here. Details

I expect both teams to be efficient in this game. Zwolle have played 6 test games so far, 5 of which finished with over 2,5 goals. The only exception is a meeting with a fourth-tier team that ended as a goalless draw. Out of 14 friendly matches they played in the past year, 11 finished with over 2,5 goals. They averaged 3,12 goals per game last season and recorded overs in 23 out of 34 rounds. 14 out of those 23 finished at over 3,5 goals. Alemere are a second division team that played three test games so far. All three of them finished at 5+ goals. We need to point out the Groninigen game which they lost 3-2. Groningen had goal average identical to Zwolle (3,12) in the top Dutch league. They went over 2,5 goals in the last 9 friendly matches over the last year. They finished the season in spot 3 of the second league when it comes to goal average (3,68). In 38 rounds of the second league, they went over 2,5 goals in 24 and 8 of those finished with 5+ goals, 3 with 7+ goals. That might not be too relevant as it didn't happen recently but only one out of their last 5 h2h games finished at under 2,5 goals. Anything but another productive game would be a surprise here. Details

Nepal are expected to record another bad defeat. They lost to UAE in the first game 5-0 and are now to face another tough challenge. Nepal's coach said they made a lot of mistakes and the weather (heat) didn't help either.
Uzbekistan recorded an expected win over Lebanon as well (3-1) to confirm they are the main contenders for the next round alongside UAE. I think they will try and score as many goals as they can today, in case they come in second. Nepal U23 team lost all 4 AFC qualifying games in the last cycle (2-0 to Afganistan, 5-0 to Iran, 6-0 to Saudi Arabia, 4-0 to Palestine). Nepal U19 lost to Iran 10-0, Jordan 3-0 and played a 1-1 with Kuwait in the last qualifying cycle. Uzbekistan U23 and U19 teams did much better. They both played Bangladesh and both won 4-0. Nepal U23 played a test game with Bangladesh home before this competition and barely won 1-0. Uzbekistan are to record another easy win by a few goals. The 4,5 over is a good option here. Details

I expect Austria to win this easily. Coach Fink said they will be super-convincing today to prove the result from last season was just a coincidence. They will go with the top lineup today. The game we are referring to here is the one they had a 3-0 lead in until minute 75. That is when they started holding back and the game got settled when Austria won in overtime. They trashed all of their Austrian opponents in test games. Lower-league side Tamsweg 10-0, top-division Sturm 3-1, fourth-tier Liezen 2-0, third-tier Parndorf 6-0, fourth-tier Kapfenberger II 3-1. They also beat Slovakian top-division team DAC 4-0 and Russian top-division team Arsenal Tula 3-1. Ebreichsdorf played three times in the last year and a half with Parndorf who were trashed by Austria B in a test game 6-0. They won 4-2 once, played a 2-2 draw once and Parndorf won 3-0 once. Austria recorded 9 wins in 15 away games this season and interestingly, they covered the -1,5 handicap in all 9. They won 5 out of those 9 by -2,5. Also, Austria Vienna II play the league with Ebreichsdorf and each team won one meeting last season 4-2 away. Austria B played First Vienna in January this year. First Vienna are also in the league with Ebreichsdorf and the game finished with Austria winning 4-0. First Vienna won the last three games against their today's opponents: 2-1 home, 4-0 away and 4-1 home. I expect a game similar to the last season's cup game. The only difference I expect is the last 20 minutes. Vienna should win convincing by a few goals. Details

I expect Brondby to win this. Even though VPS knocked out Olimpia, they were inferior in both games. They scored from the only shot on target in the first one and had just 3 shots on goal in the second one. For comparison's sake, Olimpia had 21 shot on goal in the second game only. Brodnby are, on the hand, much more efficient and simply better than Olimpia. They played 4 EL qualifying rounds a year ago. At home, they beat Valur 6-0, then lost to Hibernian 0-1, beat Hertha 3-1 and lost to Panathinaikos after losing away and playing a 1-1 home. They scored 52 goals in 26 games and conceded only 23. Not counting in the final part of the championship when everything was already settled, they recorded 9 wins and a defeat 10 home games before that. They scored 25 goals in those 10 games and had handicap in 4. If we compare Brondby and HJK Helsinki (top team of the Finnish league (VPS are runner-ups), I think Helsinki are weaker than Brondby. VPS have two defeats in the last two games (5-0 and 3-1). Two years ago, VPS lost to AIK in qualifiers for EL 4-0. I think AIK are weaker than Brondby as well. I don't think VPS will score here and I don't think they will concede less than 2-3 goals. Details
