Irtysh Pavlodar vs Kairat Almaty

I've already written about Kairat and this season I've staked them in a lot of games, and will continue to do so. The reason behind it is very simple. They have a really good squad. In recent years, eastern European teams have spent a lot of money and effort to bridge the gap between them and the teams from the England or Italy. Kairat is one of those teams that you can expect very good results from in the foreseeable future, even in the European cups. Today they are playing a domestic championship game that, if they win, will cement their title claim and I see them putting in a good effort to win it today. The odds are quite good as well so I am pleased to take this bet and invest a smaller stake. Good Luck.

Estudiantes Concordia vs Quimsa

This game is interesting for one very good reason. Quimsa, the visiting team here, is the reigning champion of Liga A and they have started the new season with the 3 straight losses. And to top it off, bookmakers lost faith in them and started giving high odds on their games. Any team in Argentina Liga A is gunning to win against Quimsa, but I don't think that this bad streak will last any longer. They just have to pull out of it and today is a good opportunity to do so. Home team has won the only game they played this season, but they are not a team that will attack the title this year and a perfect opponent fo Quimsa to regain their confidence. Smaller stake for this one. Good Luck.

Belenenses vs Fiorentina

Belenenses pulled out a point away to Lech Poznan in the first round, but the team didn’t expect much and looked rather okay in the defense with the Polish side not being able to break them. Truth to be said, Lech was much better on the field, looked way more active and concrete, but the ball simply didn’t want to pass the goal line, while the Belenenses also looked rather well in the defensive lineup. Fiorentina, on the other hand, suffered defeat in the Europa League opener against Basel at home 1:2. Things have started good for the Italian side, as they took the lead in the fourth minute with a goal from Kalinic, but the things went wrong when they were left with 10 men on the field from 66th minute. From that moment on, they switched to defensive tactics and looked more passive than they should have, conceding two goals within eight minutes. There was no coming back after that. They are a better side in this matchup and in desperate need of points so I expect them to get the win here. Medium stake for this one. Good Luck.

AZ Alkmaar vs Athletic Bilbao

AZ suffered a loss to Partizan in the first round, but what is really sticking out of that game is the fact they conceded 3 times to a team that is not all that efficient this season. That is a real problem for them since today they host an offensively minded team that is much more efficient than Partizan. Bilbao won the first game in a commanding fashion and today they will be looking to repeat that performance in the Netherlands. There will be no calculations in this game and I expect a very open match where both teams will be chasing those points and that extra goal. I am surprised by the odds given by the bookmakers here and there is so much value in this bet I am considering it for a max stake on my today's list. Good Luck.

Augsburg vs Partizan Beograd

The second round finds these teams in the different, but very much the same situation. Different in the way that Partizan has a win from the first round, where Augsburg doesn't, but same in the sense that neither of these teams is playing very good lately. Augsburg is on the fast track to be relegated. 4 points from 6 games in the Bundesliga is something that is really troublesome. If they are to salvage this season they will need to step up their game, or make a huge success in the Europe League. Well, Partizan might be the opponent to kickstart your team. They play pretty poorly as well in the home championship. Where they should have been a contender for the title, they are now trailing 9 points and just keep slipping behind. So they too have to do well in the Europe League as well. I expect both of these teams to go all out it in this game, and go for that "one goal more" tactics. There is a good chance that these poor defenses concede more than once on each side. Smaller stake for this one. Good Luck.

BATE Borisov vs Roma

BATE Borisov was a bit lucky to enter the Champions League group stage, winning over two of their three qualifying opponents thanks to a one goal difference. First round game against Leverkusen revealed many weaknesses, as the team got outplayed and suffered 1:4 defeat. They never looked really competitive even though the team temporarily equalized in the 13th minute. Roma, on the other side, took a point in the first round of Champions League group stage, when the Italian side welcomed Barcelona and limited them to a 1:1 draw. It was a good performance for them and now they need to build on it and collect the 3 points here. They will have a tough job doing it, but I think there is enough quality and experience in this Roma squad to achieve that. They should be able to prevail, having in mind big individual quality difference. Medium stake for this one. Good Luck.

Saint-Etienne vs Nice

First of all, no matter who plays the game and how important it is, to get the line for over 2.5 in Ligue 1 this high should be reason enough for a bet. And this game is something of a gift as well. I know that home side isn't that efficient, but the joker in this game is the Nice squad. They play aggressive football where the are always going for a win and that's the only way I can see them playing tonight as well. I expect them not to bow down, but challenge the home team with aggression and that will spawn a good game, and hopefully loads of goals. I am going with a medium stake for this game. Good Luck.

Inter vs Fiorentina

After five rounds played, Inter has all five victories and the team of Roberto Mancini find themselves at the top of the table with three points more than Fiorentina. Fiorentina is getting into this match having three victories in a row and being second at the table. This will be a tough match for both of these teams but a slight edge I give to the home side as they seem to be playing a more consistent football in the back line. The game itself should be quite closed and decided in details. Neither of the teams scores with ease in the new season, but the players of Inter look a bit more fluid with the ball and more consistent. Smaller stake for this one. Good Luck.
