Cherno More Varna vs Lokomotiv Plovdiv

Free

Well, I’m still computer-hopping so needless to say that today’s previews will be a little less detailed as per usual. Hopefully their accuracy will be good, that’s more what I’m bothered about!

Today’s featured game is in the dubious A PFG in Bulgaria and featured Cherno More Varna and Lokomotiv Plovdiv. Cherno More Varna are a good, established side in this division and although their form doesn’t fully reflect that currently, they’re well on their way to amending that. Lokomotiv Plovdiv are battling relegation and virtually of their statistics support just why that is – they’re simply not very good.

What is really puzzling me about these odds is whether the bookies have backed out of this selection due to potential match fixing – as is somewhat common in the A PFG – or whether they’re just…idiots. I’ll tell you what makes me lean towards the match fixing option though, aside from that it’s in Bulgaria – head-to-heads. I recall these two sides meeting in Plovdiv last season when Cherno More had everything in their favour and the hosts had little. I was all set to back the away win, to be honest, until I saw some very revealing statistics in the head-to-heads between these two sides. I don’t really believe in coincidence which is why I find the record of there having been zero away wins between these two sides at either ground since 2003 – that’s twelve games. Eleven of those games have resulted in home wins with the only exception being a 0-0 draw back in 2006 – some sides can’t win no matter how they’re helped, eh?! But anyway, I ended up backing Lokomotiv Plovdiv at 2/1 based entirely upon that record and sure enough they won 1-0. I don’t know if these two sides are friends or if there’s an agreement in place or whatever but always back the home win in this game!

Cherno More Varna are a lot better than Lokomotiv Plovdiv, especially at home. Cherno More Varna are unbeaten at home in the A PFG this season, a record matched only by little Beroe, bizarrely enough. Cherno More have won five out of their eight home games and average scoring nearly two goals per home game whilst boasting one of the best defensive records in the A PFG – just three goals conceded in eight games, a record bettered only by league leaders Litex Lovech. Cherno More have had a poor start to their campaign but are beginning to rectify that now. Their quality and reliability at home are undeniable and they’ve yet to concede following their return from the winter break so they’re looking good for today’s game.

Lokomotiv Plovdiv are in the relegation zone and eleven defeats in seventeen games explains why that is. They’ve already lost six out of eight away games this season and average conceding over two goals per away game whilst scoring less than a goal per away game – a recipe for disaster! That said, Lokomotiv Plovdiv have returned from the winter break with renewed vigour with a battling 3-2 defeat at giants CSKA Sofia and a rare win at home to Chernomorets Burgas to their name currently. Lokomotiv Plovdiv should put in a battling display today, as ever, but their away form is consistently poor and I can’t see that changing today.

Whether by match fixing, by quality, by form, or by home advantage, Cherno More Varna really should win this game. On every level, they should win this game. Why the bookies are giving 4/5 on this game is beyond me so do approach with some caution as I’m hoping the two sides haven’t decided to swap their predictable wins around to being away wins! Logically, however, the home win represents a lot of value today in my opinion.

Verdict: Cherno More Varna to win at 4/5.

Sunday’s Picks

My tips:

As ever, below are my recommended value tips for today in no particular order:

Rapid Vienna vs Austria Vienna – home win at 5/6.

Gotta love the Vienna derby! There have been two goals or more in the last seven meetings between these two clubs at either ground so I’m expecting goals today. Rapid Vienna have had the edge in these derbies in recent times with Austria Vienna beating them just once in their last twelve attempts at either ground. Rapid Vienna have beaten them here for four years running now and as they’re the better side I do expect that record to be continued today. Ironically, neither side is playing well entering this game with Rapid Vienna defending poorly and Austria Vienna not scoring goals. However, as with most derby games, both sides will be up for the game. Rapid Vienna have at least been scoring goals of late which is partially why I’m backing them as I don’t believe Austria Vienna can match their potency. It should be an interesting and end-to-end game but head-to-head records, home advantage, and potency all favour Rapid Vienna today so they’re worth a punt.

Verdict: Rapid Vienna to win at 5/6.

Kortrijk vs Lokeren – home win at 4/5.

I have a lot of respect for Kortrijk with their robotic efficiency in dealing with sides. They’ve become a real force in Belgium in recent years and their home record this season reflects that with eight wins in thirteen games, a feat that has seen them climb to the dizzying heights of fourth in the Eerste Klasse. Kortrijk aren’t natural goalscorers, unfortunately, so I do tend to hesitate a little when backing them. However, their defensive prowess tends to ensure that when they do take the lead, they win the game. Kortrijk have won four out of their last five games and have won their last four home games consecutively so are looking good today. Lokeren are having a nightmare season, particularly away from home, where they’ve lost twelve out of thirteen away games. They average conceding over two goals per away game and barely average scoring a goal per every two away games so it’s easy to see why they’re struggling. They’ve got by far and away the worst away record in the Eerste Klasse and the only saving grace they’ll take from this season is that they won’t be automatically relegated following Excelsior Mouscron’s disqualification from the competition. Either way, today looks a home win to me at bargain odds as long as Kortrijk get that vital goal.

Verdict: Kortrijk to win at 4/5.

Ceske Budejovice vs Slovan Liberec – home win at 6/4.

Ceske Budejovice have put up a good showing since returning from the winter break, forcing Slavia Prague into a a battling 3-2 home win instead of the usual drubbing that the giants would dish out. Ceske also held league leaders Teplice to a goalless draw prior to that so they’ve started the second part of their campaign well, in my opinion. Ceske are traditionally a home side as just three defeats in nine home games indicates. Their problem isn’t keeping clean sheets – only the top four sides in the Gambrinus Liga currently have conceded less goals at home than Ceske have – so their problem is goalscoring. Only Bohemians 1905 can match their dismal record of six goals scored in nine home games so Ceske need to resolve this to have a chance of staying in the division. However, scoring two goals at Slavia Prague in their last match gives them some potency and momentum to work with so they should put up a good showing today. Slovan Liberec are a good side but are having a horrible season. They’ve lost seven out of nine away games already this season and have lost their last two visits here so you have to feel that they may just struggle today. They average conceding nearly two goals per away game so a goal-shy Ceske should have all the chances that they need to score today. Slovan Liberec don’t score many goals either which doesn’t bode well for them against a tight Ceske defence. Lastly, Slovan Liberec have returned from the winter break with seemingly little interest in competing currently with two consecutive defeats away to Brno and at home to Viktoria Plzen respectively, conceding three times without response over the two games. Although this should be a tight, low-scoring game, you have to favour the hosts today if they get that much-needed goal.

Verdict: Ceske Budejovice to win at 6/4.

Bohemians Prague vs Slovacko – home win at 7/5.

This relegation battle is naturally going to be a close one so I was half considering not bothering wth the selection. However, a few things changed my mind. Bohemians Prague, for their weak league placing, are a decent home side. In fact, they were an excellent home side last season and although that form hasn’t carried on into this season anywhere near as much as they’d like, they are still a capable home side on their day. They’ve already won three home games this season and have put in spirited displays in their two games following their return from the winter break against Teplice and Slavia Prague respectively so I’ll give them a chance today. Slovacko are the worst side in the division, bluntly. The only reason that they’re in this division is because one side from the division below – think it was Zenit Caslav – didn’t meet the criteria required following their second-place finish so weren’t allowed to be promoted. Slovacko are only here because they bought the rights that Zenit Caslav had to become a Gambrinus Liga side. Slovacko, incidentally, finished tenth  in the division below last season and they’ve not improved in quality since then so it’s very easy to see why they’re struggling. Slovacko have already lost seven out of nine away games this season so I expect them to lose to a more experienced and frankly better side – Bohemians Prague.

Verdict: Bohemians Prague to win at 7/5.

Mlada Boleslav vs Sparta Prague – away win at 13/10.

Both of these two sides are big sides in the Czech Republic so this immediately tells you that we should have a good game. Sparta Prague are the bigger of the two and that tends to show with the final standings in the Gambrinus Liga and also in head-to-heads with Sparta Prague winning all four of their last four meetings with two games at either ground. Mlada have been strong at home this season as usual but have been atrocious since returning from the winter break with a miserable defeat at home to lowly Kladno without even scoring. It’s not like Sparta Prague need an invitation to win this game as they’re arguably the best side in the Czech Republic as it is but anywhere that Kladno can win, Sparta Prague can win! Sparta Prague have struggled this season but are beginning to look ominous as the second part of their campaign begins with them currently occupying second place. They’re the only side in the division yet to lose an away game and five wins in nine away games says that they’ve got a good chance of winning this one too, particularly with their good record against Mlada Boleslav in recent times.

Verdict: Sparta Prague to win at 13/10.

Doxa Dramas vs Panserraikos – away win at 9/5.

Doxa Dramas have a good home record in the B Ethniki this season with just three defeats in twelve games, winning five times along the way. They’re one of the biggest goalscoring sides in the division at home with an average of nearly two goals per game scored. However, they’re lax defensively and do tend to concede too many goals, hence their predicament. However, four defeats in five games leaves them with a lot of problems. It wouldn’t be so much of a problem if they were scoring goals but the fact is that they’ve only won one of those five games and that was against a very poor Kalamata side. Indeed, Kalamata are the only side that Doxa Dramas have scored against in their last five games so they’re going to struggle today. Panserraikos have taken a while to settle into the B Ethniki following relegation from the Super League last season but are starting to look good now. They’ve won four out of their last five games so their momentum is strong and they’ve already won six out of twelve away games in the B Ethniki, a record matched only by league leaders Olympiakos Volos. With all of the above in mind, it’s hard to fathom why the bookies think 9/5 on the away win is a suitable price but I’m happy to take their hands off for it!

Verdict: Panserraikos to win at 9/5.

Genoa vs Cagliari – home win at 5/6.

These two sides are too damn similar for my liking! However, their similarities should be somewhat separate today as both are strong home sides. These two sides score an awful lot of goals at home – both well over two goals per home game on average, the two best goalscoring sides in Serie A at their respective grounds – and both tend to win their home games more often than not. Genoa have won nien out of fourteen home games this season compared to Cagliari’s seven defeats in thirteen away games where they surprisingly don’t score many, which is unfortunate as they have a decent defensive record on the road. However, both sides are strong home sides and generally poor away sides so Genoa really should win this one.

Verdict: Genoa to win at 5/6.

Livorno vs AS Roma – away win at 4/5.

These odds don’t make sense unless the bookies know something that I don’t. Livorno is an intimidating away trip for any side; that much goes without saying. However, they’ve lost seven out of fourteen home games already this season – more than any other Serie A side – and also possess the lowest goalscoring average in the division at home. They’re not won in eight games, losing six along the way. They’re not getting battered at home but the fact is that they’ve lost three out of their last four home games whilst claiming a draw against out-of-sorts Juventus. Livorno do have the enviable record of not having lost at home to AS Roma since 2004 but the fact that they’re half as good as Roma are at best and that Roma are playing better now than they have in years should rectify that. Roma have struggled lately following exit from the Europa League but Ranieri’s sides are always well-motivated and work hard so they should match Livorno with the only two assets that the hosts possess. Roma may have only won four away games this season but what better motivation for them to win again than Internazionale’s 3-1 humbling at Catania on friday night? Mourinho’s men are starting to crack but that in itself can gel the Roma players. I feel Roma have too much quality and work-ethic to not win this game so odds of 4/5 look a bargain to me.

Verdict: AS Roma to win at 4/5.

Urawa Red Diamonds vs Tokyo – home win at evens.

Is it just me or has there been no homework done here by the bookies? Ok, it’s still early season in the J-League but Urawa Red Diamonds are one of the biggest and best sides in this league – fact. They’ve beaten Tokyo here seven times in a row seems to have escaped them, somehow. They’ve not lost to Tokyo in twelve meetings between the two sides at either ground, winning their last six games at either ground in a row. It’s rare enough for Tokyo to score against Urawa Red Diamonds, let alone take a point off them, and they’ve not taken any points off them on this ground since 2003. I’m trying really hard to understand why the bookies think that evens is an acceptable set of odds for this outcome but I just can’t agree with it. Tokyo were immense on the road last season, admittedly, but not only will that record not last this season but they still managed to lose here last season! The fact is that the hosts are too good for the visitors irrespective of form and that should be proven yet again today.

Verdict: Urawa Red Diamonds to win at evens.

AFC Ajax Amsterdam vs PSV Eindhoven – home win at 5/6.

The two biggest clubs in Holland lock horns today with Ajax needing the win and PSV needing not to lose at least. It was all setup perfectly too with PSV having remained unbeaten this season until NAC Breda spoiled the party on PSV’s last away game by winning 2-1. PSV are looking a tad nervous as they enter this game as a result so could struggle today. Ajax are the most potent side in the Eredivisie currently with an average of nearly four goals scored per home and just three conceded in twelve home games – the best home record in the division. This record should frighten any side, including bitter rivals PSV, and Ajax’s recent performances should too with six consecutive wins in the Eredivisie without conceding, a run which included a 3-0 drubbing for Twente Enschede, who were unbeaten until that game. Ajax have scored twenty goals in those six games so God help PSV ’cause nbodoy else is going to! That said, PSV have the best defensive record away from home in the division so it should be an interesting contrast between these two today. These two sides always have great games so I do urge you all to watch it. There has been a minimum of five goals scored in the last three meetings between these two sides at either ground and Ajax have won two out of their last three home games against PSV so should be set to win a thrilling encounter today.

Verdict: AFC Ajax Amsterdam to win at 5/6.

Tromso vs Honefoss – home win at 5/6.

Puzzling odds dominate the betting charts today! Tromso are a bit goal-shy at home but they’re a good and established side in the Eliteserien. They’ve got bags of experience and tend to be astute in defence, particularly at home. In fact, only eventual winners Rosenborg had a better record at home defensively than Tromso so Honefoss have their work cut out today. Tromso don’t score excessively at home, as I mentioned earlier, but newly-promoted Honefoss should be the prime candidates for Tromso to remove their goalscoring demons today. Honefoss lost five times on the road last season in the division below so how they hope to travel up to deep within the Arctic Circle to the formidable Alfheim Stadion to take on a good Tromso side and emerge with anything is beyond me. How the bookies think this may happen too is even more beyond me so the home win looks good value today.

Verdict: Tromso to win at 5/6.

GKS Belchatow vs Lech Poznan – away win at 5/4.

GKS Belchatow are a good Ekstraklasa side, particularly at home where they’ve won six out of ten games already this season. They owe that success to defensive strength rather than attacking potency but results are results nonetheless. They lost key striker Carlos Costly during the transfer window and haven’t really replaced him, which surprised me. That said, they have won their two games following their return from the winter break including an impressive win at home against Wisla Krakow. Belchatow have shaped up well for this game but their defensive ability will be called into question today as key defender Jacek Popek is missing. This is a big blow for the hosts as they’ll need their best players to beat what I would personally dub as the best side in Poland currently. Belchatow also miss Korzym (attacker) and Dziedzic (attacking midfielder) through injury and have doubts over striker Nowak’s fitness so could struggle today. Lech Poznan are on fire following the winter break having scored six goals in two games, beating a rejuvenated and talented Polonia Warsaw 3-0 away and lowly Cracovia Krakow 3-0 at home. Lech’s acquisition of talented Belarusian playmaker Krivets in the window impressed me as he’s worthy of a better league than the Ekstraklasa and he’s already made an impact by scoring a goal. Lech are finally looking the finished article, particularly with the impressive Lewandowski in attack, so should cause plenty of problems today. Lech are missing their own key defender, Arboleda, through injury. This is a big blow for them but as I expect them to be doing most of the attacking, I’d say that Belchatow’s defensive loss is more important than theirs. Ultimately, Lech are well-placed to destroy Belchatow today and although the hosts will make it hard for them, I feel that the value is in the away win, particularly with Lech having won their last two Ekstraklasa visits here.

Interesting point, by the way – the home side has never won an encounter between these two sides at either ground since both were in Liga 1 back in 2002, a record which has stretched back eleven games now. Just some food for thought!

Verdict: Lech Poznan to win at 5/4.

Carregado vs Oliveirense – away win at 4/5.

This bet is purely on form. It can’t be much else in the Liga de Honra because there’s not much quality difference between the majority of sides in this division. That said, Carregado are the worst side in the division as fourteen defeats in twenty-two games indicates. They’re some way off safety and relegation looks a foregone conclusion for today’s hosts. They’ve lost four out of their last five games and have already lost seven out of eleven home games this season – more than any other Liga de Honra side. Carregado are basically looking dead in the water and don’t have the momentum to pull themselves out currently. Visitors Oliveirense aren’t the side that you’d expect to be competing for promotion to the Liga Sagres but there they are in second place, just a point behind league leaders Beira-Mar. Oliveirense aren’t a particularly good side but they’re playing well with four wins in five games so their momentum is good. Although Oliveirense aren’t that good in my books, Carregado are that bad so the away win should be a mere formality at presentable odds.

Verdict: Oliveirense to win at 4/5.

Sibir Novosibirsk vs Terek Grozny – home win at 7/5.

I don’t have much to go off here whatsoever so do keep punts low! I rate Terek Grozny as they’re a formidable side in Grozny but in the same breath they’re also a poor away side as a result, hence the reason that they’re usually battling against relegation! They’ve got a tough trip to Novosibirsk today to play a side much after their own hearts – Sibir. Sibir are very strong at home as they proved last season in the division below so will look to recapture that strong home form today. It’s the first game of the season for both clubs – newly-promoted sides are always eager to get off to a good start so Sibir could and should have enough to win this game.

Verdict: Sibir Nobosibirsk to win at 7/5.

Barcelona vs Valencia – lay Barcelona at 9/5.

Barcelona’s odds on winning this game are too short, to be blunt. They’re not playing well and I think odds of 2/5 on them to win against a good Valencia side are ridiculous, particularly when Barcelona are not only unconvincing and lacking in goals but also when they’ve got a key match with Stuttgart coming up next week. I rate Barcelona as the better side here but Valencia are a good side and have frustrated Barcelona more often than not in recent times. Valencia aren’t playing well themselves but they seem to have got the measure of Barcelona’s tactics with the last two games between these two sides resulting in draws. Although I’ll be a happy man if Barcelona win – I’d hate to see Madrid win anything! – I have to say that the value tonight is in laying the reigning champions as they’re not playing particularly well lately.

Verdict: Lay Barcelona at 9/5.
