Tips of the day

Major League SoccerWon0:0

DC UnitedLos Angeles FC

Why this pick: Based on what has been said, today I would simply bet on a low-scoring game. Neither team scores particularly often, both are struggling, and neither has won in four matches. Los Angeles also has consistently produced low-scoring results. So that is what I will play.

Major League SoccerLost7:1

Inter MiamiCF Montreal

Why this pick: The thing is that in all 5 of Inter Miami’s matches, there have been no more than 5.5 goals scored, while in Montreal’s last 5 matches, there have been no more than 4. And the most interesting thing is the head-to-head record: in 4 of the 6 matches, both teams scored, but in 5 of the 6, there were no more than 5 goals. So, let’s play on this at the very good odds of 1.92.

Major League SoccerLost0:2

Atlanta United FCCharlotte

Why this pick: Obviously, we should expect a shootout today. Both teams are in form, and the head-to-head history and individual statistics fully confirm the goal-scoring trend. I’m betting on BTTS and Over 2.5.

Major League SoccerWon2:2

Seattle SoundersChicago Fire

Why this pick: I favor Chicago. Even taking possible rotation into account, the team is in excellent form and capable of at least a draw. Seattle are unstable and concede goals, while the visitors consistently score and create chances. I expect a high-scoring game, as confirmed by current trends and the history of the head-to-head meetings. I’m betting on X2 and both teams to score.

La LigaWon1:3

SevillaAtletico Madrid

Why this pick: Today I suggest considering the following option: the away team will not lose and the total will be over 1.5. Even judging by their head-to-head meetings, the teams periodically entertain spectators with goals, and I don't think we will see a low-scoring scenario here. Sevilla sometimes looks shaky in defense, while Atlético Madrid also does not look as pragmatic at the start of the season as we are used to.

Serie AWon2:0

JuventusParma

Why this pick: Juventus is also associated more with pragmatism. In the introduction, I mentioned for good reason that the Bianconeri have kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 8 games, and this was during a period of friendly matches, when the team defends with less concentration. In official matches, the situation should be even better.

Pro LeagueLost0:3

Al-EttifaqAl Diriyah

Why this pick: I expect both teams to score. Based on the xG figures, both teams regularly create chances and concede them at their own goal. I’ll bet on goals and both teams scoring.

Premier LeagueWon3:3

AkhmatKrylia Sovetov

Why this pick: I’m relying on the head-to-head record and form. Akhmat’s is better; at home, the team lost only to Spartak late in the game. In six of the eight head-to-head matches, Akhmat avoided defeat. However, both teams’ defenses are unreliable. Both teams scored in five of the eight meetings. That’s what I’ll bet on.

BundesligaLost2:0

Borussia DortmundHamburger SV

Why this pick: In each of Hamburg's 5 matches, at least 3 goals were scored, and in the Cup the team also started with a 3:0 victory. It is clear that Borussia are the favourites in this pairing. The last head-to-head meeting between these teams ended in a 3:2 victory for Dortmund. I think the fans will once again see plenty of goals today.

First LeagueLost0:1

TekstilshchikVeles

Why this pick: Tekstilshchik cannot be underestimated at home. The team scores at least one goal in half of its matches. Veles have an unreliable defense (conceding ~1.25 per game) and struggle away from home. I expect both teams to score. I am betting on BTTS.

BundesligaLost3:2

SV ElversbergBayer Leverkusen

Why this pick: Elversberg performed reliably at home last season and will try to play as cautiously as possible in their debut match. I can see the newcomer taking points from the favorite, but I do not expect many goals here.

BundesligaLost3:0

RB LeipzigBorussia Mönchengladbach

Why this pick: Borussia have won all 6 friendly matches, consistently scoring at least 2 goals. With Kleindienst’s return, their attacking potential has become even greater. I expect an exciting match with goals at both ends.
