Preview APFG - 20 Round - 04.12.2013

 

Gotse Delchev - Slavia Sofia - X - 4.00 - 2/10 - SBOBet - Odds for away win are dropping very fast due to the nice record of Slavia against Pirin GD with 3 wins from 3 matches. Pirin is in big financial crysis and the players are thinking about leaving the team soon, due to unpaid salaries. There are no official sponosor of the team and now the municipality og Gotse Delchev is financing the club. However the owners of Pirin GD told that they will finance the club until the 6-th of January 2014 and will pay all the salaries for 2013. The players play for their future and will try to achieve good future. Slavia lose last match against Botev and the fans are angry again, now they will try to win here, but the odds are really low for such a team in away match.

 

Ludogorets - Cherno More - 1 - -1.5 AH - 1.83 - ComeOn - 6/10 - Different class, Cherno More are playing very good, but only in home matches. One of the three loses this season for Ludogorets was against Cherno More and now the team will be glad to revenge for that.

 

Neftochimic - Beroe - Under 2.5 goals - 1.80 - Bet365 - 5/10 - Beroe always played focused in defense in their away games, and Neftochimic is not such a big team. I expect tight game with a most probable final result 0/1 : 1

 

Lokomotiv Sofia - Lokomotiv Pld - SKIP

Preview APFG - 19 Round - Sunday Matches - 01.12.2013

 

Slavia Sofia - Botev Plovdiv - Over 2.5 goals - 4/10 - 2.40 - Bet365 - I expect very entertainment game here. Botev Plovdiv are without a win on the road from 18 August, which is too bad statistic for a team who have ambitious for the title. They were playing the best football in Bulgaria in the begining of the season, but now play this way only at home games. Botev are missing due to injuries Todor Nedelev and Artur Henrique. Suspended are Sprokel and Irsak. This means 2 key players and 1 regular player will miss the match. Despite of the team have a big potential in attack. Ognyanov is back in the squad, and for the home team their goalkeeper G. Petkov is missing the match. Their defense will be shaky with 2 young players - Genev and Velkov.

Expected Lineups:

Slavia - Petrov, R. Dimitrov, Genev, Velkov, Atanasov, Shalaev, Baning, G. Ivanov, Yankov, Da Silva, Kurdov

Botev - Strahoviak, Hristov, Gruncharov, Djnici, Minev, Sarmov, Galchev, Vieira, Anise, Kortzorg, Tsvetkov

Beroe - Ludogorets - SKIP - There is no value for Away win or Under 2.5 goals here, so skip. Ludogorets are the best team in Bulgaria and Beroe are good team at their home.

Preview A PFG - 19 round - 30.11.2013 - Saturday Matches

Cherno More - Levski Sofia - under 2.5 goals - 1.77 - 7/10 - Unibet, 888Bet. It is freezing today in Bulgaria and Varna is a windy city. Stadium "Ticha" is very hard ground for visiting and Cherno More have a nice results this season here (6 wins and 3 draws from 9 matches) including win against the best team in Bulgaria - Ludogorets and the other biggest team except Levski - CSKA Sofia. Many of the specialist except very tight game with a low number of goals. The teams are playing football, based mainly in set-pieces and the defence of the home team looks very good. Levski captain Vladimir Gadjev is missing this match and top striker Tsvetan Genkov could be on the bench. Simeon Raykov and Georgi Bojilov are doubtful for the home team, Daniel Georgiev will also not start the match. Expected lineups:

Cherno More - Kitanov, Sasho, Alexandrov, Venkov, Kotev, Palankov, Edenilson, Raykov, Iliev, Kokonov, Bacari (6 goals)

Levski Sofia - Iliev, Mulder, Dimov, Angelov, Pinto, Starokin, Brue, L. Toure, M. Ivanov, Rodrigues (top player of the championship), Makriev.

Value here is in under 2.5 goals, both of the teams will be very cautious and expect maximum 2 goals.
Expected result - Cherno More - Levski - 0/1 : 1

Lyubimets - Litex Lovech - over 2.5 goals - 1.65 - 6/10 - Bet365. The problems of the home side are going to be bigger and bigger and now it is not sure that they will finish the championship. After the great start of the campaign the new-promoted side of Lyubimets is now facing a battle of the relegation. They losed last week from the other of the team with a big financial problems Pirin GD with a smashing result of 5 : 2. Now there is nothing new in the team and after 4 players resigned last week, now the group will be filled with young players under 19 years. Value on the away side is dropping so fast and now the only value is in over 2.5 goals. Litex players provide interest in teams from Italian Serie A, as Roma, Chievo and Verona are reported interest in their best player this season - Simeon Slavchev. He will try to lead the team in this match and continue after their bad defeat last round against Levski.

Value is in over 2.5 goals, Expected result - Lyubimets - Litex Lovech - 1 : 3

 

CSKA Sofia - Lokomotiv Sofia - under 1 goals in first Half Time - 1.85 - 6/10 - Paddy Power -  I expect maximum of 1 goals here in the half time and most expected is 0 : 0 at the half time and afterthat CSKA will resist the power of Lokomotiv. New financial problems for the home side as they should pay 90 000 + euro to the football manager Mariano Bizari or will lose points. Every season CSKA have ambitions and expectations from fans to use their young talents but now average age of the team is over 29 years and the selection of the team is from over 10 players, very strange for the team with so much financial problems. Expected Lineups:

CSKA - Cherni, Popov, Iliev, Mendy, Fau-Poret, Ianchev, Chochev, Milisavlevic, Gargorov, Marcinho, M. Petrov

Loko Sofia - Galev, Dyulgerov, Jovanovich, Branekov, Elton, Mahamat, Tom, Gael, Marquinhos(top goalscorer), Pisarov, Bazea

I see value in X/1 - HT/FT here - maybe goalless draw in the half time and 2 : 0 clean win for CSKA. Odds are around 4.00

Lokomotiv Plovdiv - Neftochimic - AH +2.5 Neftochimic - 6/10 - 1.75 MarathonBet. Lokomotiv Plovdiv looks a little bit overrated for me here. They played very very bad last round against Ludogorets and were smashed. Neftochimic showed some good attacks against CSKA at Sliven and now will try to build on this performance. Yes, it is expected to lose here, but the asian handicap looks too big for me. The miss of Dakson is too big for the Lokomotiv and Zdravko Lazarov is over 35 years old. Neftochimic have a number of young players who are not playing too bad lately.

Expected result - Lokomotiv Plovdiv - Neftochimic - 2 : 1

 

Chernomorets Burgas - Pirin GD - skip. Both teams with enormous problems mainly in the financial aspect. Pirin GD were famous with their FIXED matches for last season, but it was with their last owners. Now the team is financed from the municipality of Goche Delchev and a number of sponsors are out.

Preview A PFG - 18 round - Sunday Match

 

Botev Plovdiv - Chernomorets Burgas - SKIP -  Personally don`t see any valueodds in this match. Botev Plovdiv are in something like crysis right now, but it is mainly when they are on road. They do not have any problems in their home matches and have 7 wins from 8 matches, the lose was very strange and have a number of speculation that it was fixed match. Botev Plovdiv owner is the most richest person in Bulgaria - Tsvetan Vasilev, who was announced from "Forbes Bulgaria". Chernomorets Burgas also didn`t play good enough for their standarts and in will be a really tough season for them. Botev Plovdiv are missing two key players in face of Todor Nedelev and Mariyan Ognyanov.

Expected line-ups:

Botev - Strahovyak, Hristov, Sprokel, Minev, Artur, Irshak, Sarmov, Romario, Anise, Vander, Tsvetkov

Chernomorets - Georgiev, Stoyanov, Kavdanski, Tr. Trayanov, Filipov, Pavlov, Baltanov, V. Trayanov, Manzoro, Amari, Atanasov

The value here is in a correct score 1 : 0 in HT for 2.75, but I would take small bet here 2/10.

Preview A PFG - 18 round - Saturday Matches

 

Pirin GD - Lyubimets - 1 - 2.10 - 6/10 - MarathonBet - A number of problems in both of the teams. The financial situation is really bad and it is not sure their participation in the league until the end of the season. Lyubimets resign contracts with 4 players from the first team due to unpaid salaries for 3 months - Ilia Munin, Yanko Angelov, Samir Aias and Tanko Dyakov. Almost the whole team who promote the team from B group last season is not in the team right now. Earlier this season another 6 players contracts were resigned and the team is now full with young players from academy without experience. Gotse Delchev have 2 doubtfull players for this match - Abdi Abdikov (GK) and Martin Gaziev (M), while Mario Bliznakov will be in the lineup. Vasil Panayotov is suspended. I see big battle and ugly match here, but Pirin could make their second win for the season.

Cherno More - Beroe - skip - I see under 2.5 goals here but the odds are really low and there is no value. Two defensive-orientated teams are playing and I see match with 2 goals maximum. 0 : 0 at the half time looks good here for around 2.30. Ofcourse one mistake could kill this bet, but the odds for under 1 are really low too.

 

Ludogorets - Lokomotiv Pld - over 2.5 goals - 5/10 - 2.00 - Bet365 - Ludogorets is the best team in the championship no doubt. Now they are facing Loko Pld who are playing atractive football and the value here is in over. If the away team scores one goal it could be very easy. Ludogorets qualify for the next round of the Europa League after amazing performance untill the moment, but their attention is still there. Next week Dutch grand PSV is coming in Bulgaria and this is the main topic, because this is very ambitious project and Ludogorets need to make points for the next season in Champions League. Valter Misidjan was valued 3 mln. euro from the owner of the club to decrease the interest in him. The captaion of Ludogorets - Svetoslav Dyakov(DM) is injured, while one of the best players Martin Kamburov (ST, Loko Pd) hasn`t  scored in last 4 games and could be back on track here.

Levski - Litex - 1 - 2.30 - Marathon Bet - preview

Levski Sofia - Litex Lovech - 1 - 2.30 - MarathonBet - 8/10

Levski Sofia are hosting Litex Lovech in searching of a 4-th consecutive win in this derby. Derby from last 15 years, when Litex were pumped in with money. Now the situation is a little bit different and the "oranges" from Lovech are relying to their youth academy and their squad is full with young players, who are playing very good football. I don`t remember worse results at "Georgi Asparuhov" stadium for Levski in the near 15 years, but now everything in the club is ready to reply. The hot prospect of Levski, Antonio Vutov is back in the group and could play in the second half.

Expected lineups:

Levski - Iliev, Mulder, D. Dimov, Angelov, Pinto, Gadjev, Starokin, Pl. Dimov (Kevin Bru), L. Toure, Rodriguez, Genkov

Litex - Alexandrov, Popov, Bodurov, Bojikov, Nedyalkov, Tsvetkov, Slavchev, Vayushi, Djazula, Tsvetanov, Jordan

Levski are celebrating 100 years in 2014 and they still have chances for the title, because the championship will be divided to two halfs. Nobody really believes that Litex could be title contenders in the end of the season. In 19 matches in Sofia, Levski have 11 wins and just 2 loses.

I really rate the odds for Levski win highly here and except from them to win this match.
Probable results : 2 : 0/1

 

Lokomotiv Sofia - Slavia Sofia - 2 or 3 goals in the match - 2.00 - 7/10

This is the little derby of Sofia between Lokomotiv and Slavia. They played two times in the last 15 days for the Bulgarian Cup, where Slavia were eliminated after surprisingly loss at "Slavia" stadium. The situation in the team is really intense. Alber Banin (ex PSG player) could sign today for Slavia and play in this match after impress in trainings with the team. There are many news about interests in the hot prospect of the team - 16 years old Stefan Velkov who played matches with Bulgarian Under 21 years national team and looks really good. Juventus, Reading and Inter are among the interest teams.

Probable lineups:

Lokomotiv Sofia - Galev, Dyulgerov, Branekov, Randjelovic, Jovanovic, Mahamat, Marquinhos (top goalscorer of the league, 11 goals), Gael, Tom, Helton, Bazea

Matutu (12 matches,D), Trifonov (13 matches,D), Iliev (13 matches, A) and Bibishkov (11 matches, A) are questioned.

Slavia Sofia - Petkov, Pashov, K. Velkov, St. Velkov, R. Dimitrov, Shalaev, Yankov, Popara, Fernando, G. Ivanov, A. Kurdov (top goalscorer for the team, 8 goals)

Atanasov (15 matches,D) is out of the team due to poor form and 2 errors lead to goals, Genev (11matches,D), Sandanski (10 matches, M) could miss the game or will be out of the first 11.

I see two-edged derby between two teams without enough support of the fans. Today is a working day and playing at 13:30 local time should decrease the attendance and maybe will be around 500 people.

I also see value in draw in this match for about 3.50 (2/10)

Seoul - Jeonbuk - 1 - 2.30 - 4/10 - Bet365

I see big value in home win here. Seoul played Asian Champions League final and this is the main reason to be out of Top 3. Jeonbuk is sure for the champions league spot afterward Pohang won the cup and the 4th place team will secure a ticket for the Asian CL. A number of key players are missing the game for the away side and Seoul will use this. This is the list for the away team missing players: Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors : Eun-Seong Choi(GK/27app, cpt), Jae-Myung Lee(DF/19app) - Gyu-Ro Lee(DF/12app) - Young-Jin Kwon(DF/1app) - Ki-Hee Kim(DF/15app), Hyuk Jung(MF/25app, 1g), Sung-Min Ha(MF/No app), Young-Woo Kim(MF/No app), Se-Jik Park(MF/7app) - Shin-Young Kim(FW/13app, 1g), Je-Heon Song(FW/12app, 1g). Maybe some of them will take minutes but the odds look great right now.

Seoul - Jenobuk - 4 : 1 - WIN

Egypt - Ghana - 1 - 2.25 - 3/10 - Bwin

Hoffenheim - Hertha Berlin - 1 and Over 2.5 goals - 5/10 - 3.20 - Bet365

Hoffenheim are famous with their high scoirng games. There have been 19 overs in a row for them. Kevin Volland is now back in track and Hofe are ready to continue their progress. They are playing wonderful this season and only lack of luck and inexperienced staff is the reason not to be in the top 6.
Hertha Berlin failed to win thei last 8 away matches in Bundesliga. Their young talent Alexander Baumjohan is injured for this match.

Schalke - Werder - 1 and Under 2.5 goals - 4.75 - Bet365 - 3/10

I see super value in this odds. Schalke are without Farfan and Huntelaar but have enough quality to overrun Werder in face of Szalai, Meyer and Boateng. They have 5 win and draw in last 6 matches against Bremen.

Bremen are missing their main striker Nils Petersen and key midfielder Philip Bagfrede, who is long term injured.

VFR Aalen - Fortuna Dusseldorf - 2 - AH 0 - 2.10 - 8/10 - 12Bet

VFR Aalen are team which had expectations to be in the relegation battle and could be there in the final of the season. They lost Kister, Dausch, Shultz and Haller in the summer and now are trying to establish a new team for the 2nd Bundesliga. The new bought players are from 3rd Bundesliga and Oberligas. They had serious financial problems and are one of the teams who was not clear till tthe end if they got a license. Reichwein is missing the game for the home team. They are 3rd worst team in 2nd Bundesliga for their home games.
Fortuna Dusseldorf relegated from 1st Bundesliga after great start of the season and now are facing problems in the 2nd Bundesliga. Fortuna have just one win in their away matches for the season and this is not expected from team with so serious financial status and players. They hold their best players from the last season and have a plenty young talents. They made some amazing performance in 1st Bundesliga and the value in this odd looks really nice. I see their second win in a row in away matches here. They believe in Michael Buskens who can repeat the road of Greuther Furth to 1st Bundesliga.

Tomorrow start a new daily tips for November. Good luck to all!

FC Copenhagen - Esbjerg - 1 (-0.75 AH) - 9/10 - Pinnacle

FC Copenhagen are favorites for the title but they started terrible the season and changed their coach. Stale Stolbaken returned to the "lions" and will hope to repeat their best season under his management. They were without a win in 6 matches and finally won against Viborg and showed a very good style of playing. They have nice stats against Esbjerg, especially when the matches are at Parken. Adi, Vetokele and Claudemir will lead the home team to second win in a row. I believe it can be with more than a goal.
Esbjerg will be without Delaney and Stadsgaard. They are in a 3 matches in a row without a win and in the middle of the table. The odds for them were to finish in the second half of the table before the season and for the moment they are over the expectations. Esbjerg loses last two away matches and FC Copenhagen will be glad to revenge for the lose last season.

Honka - RoPS Rovaniemi - 1 - (-1 AH) - 9/10 - 2.10 MarathonBet

    Honka are the surprise of the season and they are still in title hopes. The team is mixed with experienced and very young players. Abdoulaye Meite and Ruben Palazuelos are part of very experienced players who played in British Top Division clubs. There is no surprise that 8 players of Honka squad played against England in last match between two clubs. Honka are playing their home matches at Tapiolan Urheilupuisto in Espoo, stadium with artificial grass who gives advantage for their home games. They have 10 wins and 1 draw in their 12 home games this season, best in the league. Honka have 8 wins in a row in matches against RoPS in the league. Kevin Kastrati will miss the match for the home team.
    RoPS Rovaniemi are already out of the relegation battle and feel comfortable in mid-table. RoPS are without ex-Honka trio - Maannoja (goalkeeper of the team), Otaru (defensive midfielder) and Kokko (top striker of the club). RoPS have just 10 points from their away matches and I believe they will continue their bad streak. It is clear that RoPS will have a new manger for the next season and the manger Kari Virtanen will not be so motivated.
    I see a big value in this win for Honka as they are among title pretendents and are playing against opponents without enough quality.

Goias - Cruzeiro - Under 2.5 goals - 1.94 - MarathonBet

   Goias are 9th after very good display in the first half of the season. They are playing wonderful at their stadium "Serra Dourada" and are undefeated in last 9 matches at home. Thei best striker Walter with 8 goals is higghly doubtful for this match with a muscle problem and maybe will miss it. He also has 4 assists which means that have a contribtution in 12 of their 19 goals in this season. Verdao will have enormous problem in attack without him, or not fully fit. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Goias's last 7 games in Brasileirão.
   Cruzeiro are leader after halving the season which is not a big surprise for the specialists in Brazil. The foxes finished last season 9-th but with some nice transfers now are title pretendents. Júlio Baptista, who is still yet to reach full fitness, will be left out for this game and key winger Luan with 5 goals is injured. The power of Cruzeiro is their defence - second record in the league after unbeatable Corinthians defense. Dede and Rodrigo made a very good partnership in the centre of defense are the main reason and left back Egidio who is in the sight of Brazil manager Luis Felipe Scolari. 
   After smashing 5 : 0 at the start in Belo Horizonte now Goias will be highly motivated and carefull in defense. There are 7 unders in last 10 matches between this teams

Japan - Ghana - 1 - (-1 AH) - 9/10 - 2.37 - 12Bet

Japan is facing Ghana in this friendly match and will be with all of their stars - Honda, Kagawa, Uchida, Hassebe, Okazaki, Kiyotake and Kawashima. They are already qualified for the World Cup and will try to win this match against thei African opponents.
More interesting is in the squad of Ghana, Their manager Kwesi Appiah has 17 players at his disposal for the friendly match. They have a number of missing players including Kevin-Prince Boateng, Adams Kwarasey and Asamoah Gyan who are injugred. Michael Essien have some family problems and will miss the match too. The reamining players who did not make the trip include Kwawdo Asamoah, Andre Ayew, Foli Adade, Emmanuel Badu, Awal Mohammed and Mubarak Wakso. This is the core of the team who qualify Ghana for the World Cup. More of the players for Ghana are playing in Africa, where we know the level of the championships.

WIN - Japan - Ghana - 3 : 1

Atletico MG - Fluminense - Under 2.5 - 7/10 - 1.93 - 12Bet

Atletico MG and Fluminense were title contenders last season and Flu grab the tittle. This season the thing are totally different. Both teams are playing bad in the league, while Ateletico Mineiro grab Copa Libertadores, Fluminense haven`t got excuse. Both teams are in the second half of the standindgs. Atletico MG conceded just 7 goals in their home matches and scored only 12. Now they are without their best striker Jo (with national team) and Josue who is suspended. Ronaldinho is still not in 100 % but maybe will play in this match. Also the biggest talent of Mineiro - Bernard left the club.
Fluminense loses their last away match again Santos and stop series of 5 unders in a row as visitors. Their best striker - Fred is also missing this game due to injurie and Eduardo is missing the game too. Statistically this teams finished 3 of their last 4 games with under 2.5 goals. Now both of the team will try not to loose this game and will play tight.There is a nice odd for a HW (Home Win) and under 2.5 goals around 4.50, who could make a banker.

LOSS - Atletico MG - Fluminense - 2 : 2

Rot Weiss Erfurt - SV Wehen - Over 2.5 goals - 8/10 - 2.00 Coral

Erfurt are hosting SV Wehen in match where are playing two of the team which could face a battle for the promotion in the end of the season. Erfurt are missing only thei key central defender Laurito and their striker Tunjic (3 matches 2 goals) is back in the squad and will lead the attack among Brandstetter. Erfurt have 2 overs from their 3 matches at home and they make continue this tradition.
More interesting is in Wehen squad, they have four missing central defenders for this match. Key defenders Herzig and Wiemann are suspended, while Gusche and Gyashi are injured. This means that mayybe Marcus Mann who is a typical midfielder could play as a central defender in this game. Wehen already showed their potencial in attack and scored 14 goals in first 6 matches, now the value for many goals in this match are excellent.

WIN - RW Erfurt - SV Wehen - 3 : 0

Petroul - Swansea - Under 2.5 goals - 7/10 - 2.04 - Marathon Bet

Petrolul were heavily defeated in Wales and they are out of the League Europe in my eyes. Their fans were extremely bored with the result at Liberty Stadium and the chances now are just theoric. Petrolul will be without their best striker Grozlav (scored 6 goals in 5 matches in League Europe this season). Marinescu and Yamizzi are regular first team players and also will miss this match. This is their first season in Europe after 18 years, but I don`t believe the ambition will be enough for many goals.
Swansea are team which loves to control the ball and showed nice football last season. Michael Laudrup is young manager with great attitude and skills. They won 4 : 0 against Malmo in the previous round and made goalless draw when they were visiting in Malmo. This match could repeat the previous round and the rotation of some key players will allow Swansea to controll the ball and close the match.Wilfired Bony and Nathan Dyer will miss this match for away team, who are 2 ot fhe most sharpest players.

LOSS - Petrolul - Swansea - 2 : 1

Kawasaki Frontale - Omiya Ardija - 1 - (AH -0.5) - 8/10 - 2.05 - Pinnacle Sports

Kawasaki is the most attractive and aggresive team in the Japan J League. They are great side, but the problems in the defense are serious. I believe their attack power will help them to win this and there is no vaue to bet over, because the odds for this match are too low. Kobayashi, Retinho and their star Okubo (17 goals) will be online for this match and I believe they will score. Their manager Yahiro Kazama already is famous with his attractive style. Kawasaki have just 1 loss this season at Todoroki Athletics Stadium and they will be highly motivated to secure new win.
Omiya Ardija is one of the smallest team in Japan J League. They started the season wonderfull and was a leaders for a long period of time, but everything came to its place and after 7 losses in a row, now they are out of Asian Champions League places. They have just 5 wins in last 21 matches against Kawasaki and lose one month ago at their home ground. Ueda and Shimonira are doubtful for the away side.

WIN - Kawasaki Frontale - Omiya Ardija - 2 : 1

PortoB - Penafiel - 1 - 2.00 - 9/10 - NordicBet

Usually I post maximum one match per day, but now I saw nice offer lately and will try to earn some cash. PortoB started this season wonderful with 3 wins from 3 matches, 2 of them were candidates for promotions. Now for the first team will play some of their star arrivals this season - Hector Herrera 23 years old National Mexican player (8 mln euro) and Diego Reyes 22 years old National Mexican playe, who was bought for around 10 millions, experienced backs Fucile and Ze Antonio will be also in the group for this match. And this is not everything - young wilver Kelvin and ex Estoril star Carlos Eduardo will also play for the home team in this game.
Penafiel also started the campaign wonderfull but now they are unlucky to face so strong side of PortoB. The oddsdirection for the match is going down very fast and they miss Mbala. Penafiel finished 9-th last season, but they are small team for the standards of Primeira League and I do not see them as major contendeters for the title in the presence of Moreirense, Leixoes, e.t.c.

LOSS - Porto B - Penafiel - 0 : 0

Inter Turku - Jaro - 1 - 7/10 - 2.25 - Coral

Inter Turku are playing out of their standards this season and they are involved in relegation battle. They were eliminated from Vikingur (team from Faroe Islands) in League Europe and their season is totally colapsed. Now "Black and Blues" need to make first win from 6 matches and have a nice chance. The bookmakers odds are reduced with about 15-20 % percent based on the team positions and form. In last decade Inter have 14 wins and Jaro just 3.
The away team is in good shape without a lose in 7 matches, but now will face highy motivated team, who is facing relegation battle if don`t win this game. They lost their last 6 matches and draw 1 at Veritas Stadium in Turku. Also have just 2 wins this season when they played away. Jori Kujala, Igor Jovanovic, Hugo Miranda, Johan Brunell, Simon Skrabb and Alexander Tumasyan are missing the match for them and Wargh is doubtful.

WIN - Inter Turku - Jaro - 1 : 0

Metz - Niort - 1 - 6/10 - 2.25 - William Hill, 12BET, 188BET

I see big value in this home win for Metz. Stade Municipal is famous with his hot fans and they will try to help Les Grenats secure their 3 win in a row at home. Metz is traditional team for the French League I, but serious crisis hit them lately and they were fallen to Championnat National, but make instant impact and return to League II fast. Now they need this season to secure their mid-table place in the league. In the last three matches at Metz the home team have 2 wins and a draw.
Niort is one of the candidate for the relegation and a small team without any serious success. They started the season with 3 draws, but now have a number of missing players - Glombard, Houla and Lafourcade (two of them regular first players) and I believe it will be hard for them at this inhospitable stadium. Last season they finished just 2 points above the relegation zone and had just 3 wins as visitors.

LOSS - Metz - Niort - 1 : 1
