Tips of the day

UEFA Europa Conference LeagueLost2:1

FK PartizanGetafe

Why this pick: Two teams that often play low-scoring matches individually, constantly slowing games down. There is no reason to expect open football today. I think Getafe will concede possession, as they are leading on aggregate. It will be difficult for Partizan to break down the defense. At the same time, the Serbians rarely concede at home in the Conference League. I expect the team to keep the result tight today.

UEFA Europa Conference LeagueLost2:3

HibernianGent

Why this pick: I’m leaning toward the fact that we should not expect many goals at all in this match. The teams already showed poor football in the first leg (a goalless draw). Now both teams traditionally play their matches without conceding, both at home and away. The Belgians, in particular, remain one of the lowest-scoring teams. So today I’m expecting a low-scoring match as well.

UEFA Europa Conference LeagueLost1:4

HNK RijekaFC Midtjylland

Why this pick: The difference in class is obvious. Rijeka keeps matches tight at home (five of seven in qualifying without conceding), but Midtjylland are clear favourites in terms of status and squad. The Danes also often keep clean sheets away from home. I expect a tough battle, but both teams to score makes no sense here. I’m betting on BTTS: No.

La LigaLost1:2

Celta VigoOsasuna

Why this pick: I would also note that Osasuna managed just 2 away wins last season, so it is very difficult to expect a victory for the Pamplona side in this scenario. Celta Vigo should look more confident at home, and even if they fail to win, we should see at least a draw.

UEFA Europa Conference LeagueLost0:0

Inter Club d'EscaldesDrita

Why this pick: I favor Inter Club d'Escaldes. The team performs excellently in qualifying, has suffered only one away defeat, and has the traditional home advantage. Drita are unconvincing: two wins in five matches, dropped points, and poor away results. I expect a high-scoring match. I’m betting on the home win or draw and Over 1.5.

UEFA Europa LeagueLost4:1

PlzenFK Crvena Zvezda

Why this pick: When a team loses 2:0, I can still imagine the motivation, but when they need to overturn a three-goal deficit, it is still psychologically a different situation. Judging by their current form, I find it hard to believe in Viktoria’s attack.

UEFA Europa LeagueLost4:2

Omonia NicosiaSt. Truiden

Why this pick: The difference after the first leg is minimal, so there is no reason for the teams to force the pace from the first minutes. I expect a cautious match with few dangerous chances.

UEFA Europa LeagueLost1:0

Kauno ŽalgirisBeşiktaş

Why this pick: The Turkish team has no need to force the pace, but even in economical mode it should once again confirm its superiority. I expect a Beşiktaş win in a match that will not turn into a goal fest.

CupLost1:1

Dinamo St. PetersburgDinamo Vologda

Why this pick: The certainty is due to the fact that all of this happened last year and earlier. At present, Dynamo Vologda is clearly inferior in terms of statistics, away matches, and head-to-head meetings. Dynamo St. Petersburg have recorded confident victories in all five of their head-to-head matches since 2007. Three of them took place a long time ago, but over the last two years the team has also won: 3:1 in June 2024 and 1:0 in June of this season. We will play on the hosts’ advantage, but I expect a high-scoring match, since the statistics in the Cup are somewhat different.

CupWon5:0

Dinamo BarnaulIrtysh Omsk

Why this pick: I give Dynamo Barnaul an absolute advantage. They certainly will not lose at home and are traditionally stronger in head-to-head meetings (their last defeat was in May 2019). Considering the statistics of both teams, I expect at least two goals. I’m backing 1X and Over 1.5.
