Tips of the day

La LigaWon1:2

VillarrealReal Betis

Why this pick: At the same time, two fairly strong teams are facing each other, so I do not expect a goal-fest or a string of defensive errors. A 1-1 scoreline is enough for the bet to land, while even a high-scoring game leaves plenty of room up to the upper total limit.

EliteserienLost3:2

Bodo/GlimtSandefjord

Why this pick: Bodø/Glimt should beat Sandefjord, as they already did in the first-round away match. The league leaders won 3-0 then. I expect a similar scenario now: the hosts will achieve the necessary result, but the match will not turn into a goal fest.

SuperligaWon4:1

FC MidtjyllandBrondby

Why this pick: Midtjylland are favorites thanks to their superior class and home advantage. The team is having a better season and have not suffered a single defeat so far. Brøndby, on the other hand, have personnel problems and an unconvincing run of 2 consecutive defeats.

Serie AWon2:1

ComoParma

Why this pick: A debut match in the Champions League, a confident triumph—against the backdrop of such successes, it is very difficult to maintain concentration. Therefore, I would not be surprised if Como even sensationally dropped points in the match against Parma, although logically they should continue thrashing everyone. But psychology is a subtle thing, so today I will risk taking a positive handicap on the underdog.

Serie AWon0:2

TorinoAS Roma

Why this pick: Torino at home is definitely an awkward opponent, but so far the Bulls have not been convincing. Therefore, I suggest believing in another Roma triumph. Of course, the fact that Gasperini’s men are dealing with their opponents so easily and confidently is concerning — it feels like there is some catch. But objectively, they are very good, especially in attack. Right now, they simply have to take three points against such an inconsistent opponent.
