Doxa vs AEK Larnaca
FreeWell, guys, the time has come for us to put the site’s wheels in motion for a “membership” section. Toby is looking at ways to make part of the site private for those who wish to become members but for the time being we’ll have to stay rather basic in our methods.
Essentially, from monday onwards, there will be a private section that you need to pay £5 per month to utilise. There are no demands on you to do so; this is purely for people who wish to support the site – the rest of the site is entirely free. In due course, we do hope to offer more perks with the “membership” but for the present time, each member will receive the featured game via email for a period of one month whilst we trial the idea, as well as being able to consult myself directly via email with betting queries and also receiving the double chance system that I operate on a personal level.
Just to reiterate – this is not in place until Monday 10th January but we obviously expect anyone who is generous enough to participate in the membership to pay prior to Sunday 9th January (9pm GMT) in order to give us enough time to send the game of the day to each individual. We appreciate that it’s short-notice but the site has suffered somewhat of late and we need to move swiftly.
For more information, please don’t hesitate to email us at thefootytipster@gmail.com or check the page we’ve created on the navigation bar at the top.
Moving onto today’s football…
Today’s featured game is the Cypriot Division 1 encounter between Doxa and newly-promoted AEK Larnaca. The hosts are bottom of the table whereas the visitors are flying high near the top of the table so you could be forgiven for thinking the away win is a given here but I’d beg to differ as I think the bookies have solely looked at the table rather than the actual facts.
Doxa are not a bad side and I will be surprised if they get relegated this season. True enough, they struggle on the road, but when playing at home, they’re very stubborn and hard to beat. Indeed, they’ve lost just once in seven home games this season and that was against giants Omonia Nicosia in an epic 2-3 scoreline so Doxa are no pushovers here – don’t be misled by their league placing. Defensively, only their illustrious local rivals APOEL Nicosia and Omonia Nicosia have better records at home, as well as Enosis Neon Paralimni. Nobody else can better their impressive record of having only conceded a goal per home game on average. Indeed, they average scoring over a goal per home game and that’s despite having played big sides like Anorthois Famagusta, Omonia Nicosia, and the two main Limassol clubs. Doxa are not afraid to attack sides and that tends to be what they do best. They’ve had a decent rest over the Christmas period and return fresh and hungry to move up the table. They’ve added a couple of players to their squad, neither of which will start today, and only miss defender Okkaridis through suspension. I fully expect Doxa to attack AEK, however, and they do tend to score goals with star striker Henrique in good form. Most sides struggle to beat Doxa due their enthusiastic nature and AEK Larnaca are no exception if we go back in time with AEK having failed to win five out of their last six meetings with Doxa, two of which were away from home. Doxa are a very hard-working side and only a fool will underestimate this outfit due to their league placing.
With some financial clout and Dutchman Jordi Cruyff in a powerful position, it’s no surprise that AEK Larnaca are constantly linked with big Dutch names, the latest of which is ex-Ajax academy product Cedric van der Gun. Manager Kaanen had flattering words for van der Gun and has said that they will go for him if it’s possible but for now, it’s not. AEK Larnaca have brought in Pintado already and are reportedly snooping around APOEL Nicosia’s players too, although that may be a bridge too far for the newly-promoted high-flyers. However, it cannot be denied that AEK Larnaca are looking to return to being one of Cyprus’ biggest clubs and they may well achieve it if they continue as they are.
However, their good form this season has masked what has largely been unconvincing displays. If a side takes their chances then fair enough; they deserve whatever they get. Nonetheless, it’s worth noting if a side isn’t playing well or not because backing them blindly is just stupid. AEK defend well enough but their goalscoring away from home is their Achilles heel. Let’s face it – any side with the superb Kevin Hofland organising their defence is going to have a good back line. However, their lack of goals in attack from Kingsley, Oper, and Angel does become increasingly apparent away from home as it’s harder for their midfield to carry them as much as they do. AEK looked very stretched before the winter break so it’s no surprise that they’re drafting in new players as they are over-achieving at the moment. The dependency on midfielder van Dijk is growing as he continues to pull the team along but they’re still not playing well as a 2-0 defeat at A.E.Paphos, a 2-0 defeat at Omonia Nicosia, and a 2-2 draw at home to Apollon Limassol before the break indicated all too well. AEK are a side to be feared when they play well but in my view, you can count the number of times on one hand this season that they’ve actually played well. Grinding out results is impressive but they’re going to need something special to overcome a zesty Doxa side today and I just don’t see where it’s going to come from.
For me, the odds on the home win with draw no bet here are laughable. I cannot imagine that this is priced on anything other than current league placing and perhaps the reasonable wealth behind AEK Larnaca because nothing else makes sense! The only sides that frequently enjoy their trips to Doxa are the big three – APOEL, Omonia, and Anorthosis – everyone else has a nightmare of a task and although AEK like to think that they’re amongst the elite in Cyprus, they’re not there yet. Although Doxa may struggle in defence for this one without Okkaridis, their attack is still strong and I’d be surprised to see them lose this one so my call is the home win with draw no cover at 13/8.
Team news – Doxa miss Okkaridis for this game.
Verdict: Doxa to win with draw no bet at 13/8.
Saturday’s Picks
My tips:
As ever, below are my recommended value tips for today in no particular order:
Ekranas Panevezys vs Flora Tallinn – over 2.5 goals at 7/10.
Quality-wise, I’d side with Ekranas Panevezys all the time here but my motivation behind this one is quite simple; fatigue. Ekranas played a full ninety minutes against Skonto Riga yesterday in this bizarre and pointless competition in Latvia and thus will be pretty damn tired whereas this is Flora Tallinn’s first game in the competition. Coach Reim has been unimpressed with his team so they’ll be out to impress against Ekranas today. However, the absence of Palatu and Jahhimovits removes any chance that Flora have of keeping a clean sheet here and fatigue should mean that Ekranas aren’t doing to dominate in their usual fashion. Therefore, my logical call for this one is over 2.5 goals as it should really be much shorter than 7/10.
Team news – Flora Tallinn have not taken Palatu, Jahhimovits, Luts, and Anier due to injury.
Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at 7/10.
Sydney FC vs Gold Coast United – both sides to score at 4/5.
Sydney FC bring some good momentum into this game following their fairly surprising 1-2 victory at Newcastle Jets last match and should be able to make this game good too with that in mind. Well, we have to hope so – if it’s anything like their usual dreary home games then I won’t be staying awake for this one!
Sydney FC’s problem this season has been scoring goals. You could be forgiven for wondering how they’ll score in this one without Brosque and Bridge, leaving Bruno Cazarine on his own in attack but there is another angle to consider; Makela. The Finnish striker has just joined Sydney FC after playing in Europe for HJK Helsinki and Hearts, to name a couple, and knows how to find the net. He’s a bit tempremental but on his day he’s a quick and gifted striker and he should be a useful addition to their squad. He debutised in the win at Newcastle Jets lately, coming off the bench for a cameo appearance but he should start today with Brosque and Bridge both injured. Sydney FC also miss key central defender Foxe, who is also injured, so they’re going to have to do well to get three points from this tough home game, especially as Gold Coast United have proven to be something of a bogey side for them in the past. Sydney FC have only won three out of twelve home games in the A-League this season due to a slow start so the sleeping giants do need to start recording more wins and today is as good a day as any to continue their winning run.
It aids Sydney FC massively that Gold Coast United miss star midfielder Jason Culina, whom you may recall playing for AFC Ajax Amsterdam many years ago. He’s gone playing for Australia in the Asian Cup and won’t be around for four weeks, which is a hefty blow to Gold Coast United as he’s the core of their team. As if that wasn’t enough, Gold Coast United also miss midfielder Pantelidis and back-up midfielder Osman so they have big issues in this game in midfield. Gold Coast United have only lost twice away from home this season but with the core of their midfield missing this game, they have to be serious doubts to take something from this game today. The absence of Foxe in Sydney’s defence hands Gold Coast United a lifeline as they can score goals more easily without the experience centre-back available to their opponents but they may also concede goals whilst doing so without the proper protection for their own defence.
Therefore, rather than entering the somewhat complex 1×2 market here, my call is for both sides to score. Both sides scoring in this fixture last season and both sides have scored in three out of the five meetings between the two clubs so 4/5 on both sides scoring looks a decent bet today.
Team news – Sydney FC miss Foxe, Antonis, Brosque, and Bridge whereas Gold Coast United miss Culina, Pantelidis, Osman, and Piorowski.
Verdict: Both sides to score at 4/5.
Anorthosis Famagusta vs APOEL Nicosia – home win with draw no bet at 5/4.
Anorthosis’ new manager Stanimir Stoilov, former manager of the Bulgarian national team, has wasted no time stamping his authority on the club. He’s drafted in three players already – Mark Lioumpingkovits, Sivarnt Sprockel, and Stanislav Angelov – all three of which go straight into the squad for the big game with APOEL Nicosia. Anorthosis had lost players too (i.e. goalkeeper Arguello who left for Bolivar La Paz) so it’ll be interesting to see how they manage, especially under new boss Stoilov. Anorthosis have had a pretty dismal campaign, hence the sacking of their previous manager. Anorthosis is rapidly developing a revolving door as they continue to fail in the pursuit of the next Temuri Ketsbaia. However, their average statistics for their home games this season don’t reflect that they’re one of the big three in Cyprus and that is quite a criminal offence, in my view. Anorthosis may not win the league this season – it’s pretty clear to me that they won’t! – but to underestimate their ability is ridiculous. They’ve got a strong defensive record on their own turf and average scoring nearly two goals per home game so they are a force. I expect the players to respond to their new manager in the first game under his stewardship and they know APOEL hate coming here so I’ll give the hosts a chance that they definitely deserve here.
APOEL have won four out of their seven away games this season but that record flatters them, in my view. Admittedly, they’ve been good on the road since their blip at the start of the season but I’d counter that with the fact that they’ve played sides that I’d expect them to beat. Apollon Limassol are usually a handful but their financial problems and internal problems made them easy picking for APOEL Nicosia. The remainder of their wins were against inferior opponents and their only failure to win was against the one hard side that they faced during that run, drawing 2-2 with rivals AEL Limassol. Historically, APOEL tend to struggle away from home against good sides and Anorthosis are no exception for them with APOEL winning just twice during their last twenty visits here. I think it’s fair to observe that Anorthosis stopped winning their games with APOEL too after Ketsbaia moved on to Olympiakos Piraeus but Anorthosis rarely lose this game. APOEL are one of the best sides in Cyprus, no doubts about it, especially with Ailton and Trichovski in such good form. However, are they really worth 4/7 away from home against a sleeping giant? Not in my eyes, and especially not without important defender William, experienced defender Kontis, and ex-Panathinaikos playmaker Charalambides available to them today.
For me, the value today is with Anorthosis. I’m not guaranteeing their win but they’ve got enough in the locker to edge this one and APOEL are missing some integral players. APOEL are priced criminally short for this game, considering how much they struggle in it, so my call is for Anorthosis to win this one with draw no bet cover, which is rather amazingly priced at 5/4.
Team news – APOEL Nicosia miss William, Kontis, and Charalambidis.
Verdict: Anorthosis Famagusta to win with draw no bet at 5/4.
Bristol City vs Sheffield Wednesday – home win at evens.
I always find it hard to write FA Cup previews because it’s a rather random competition and there’s not much to compare, generally speaking! I mean, my motivation for this bet is that Bristol City have a decent team, they’re playing very well at the moment, and they’re scoring goals. It helps that Sheffield Wednesday aren’t particularly stable in defence and that they miss midfielder Coke for this game but I simply think that Bristol City should be priced shorter here. For me, the home win at evens is a decent bet today.
Team news – Bristol City have doubts over Fontaine, Carey, and McAllister whereas Sheffield Wednesday miss Coke and Otsembor.
Verdict: Bristol City to win at evens.
Fulham vs Peterborough United – over 2.5 goals at 3/4.
The lack of Fulham strikers available for this game does concern me but the fact that they’re facing arguably the worst defensive side in the top four divisions of English football comforts me massively. Much respect goes to Peterborough for their attacking football but their inability to defend means that they score and concede in almost all of their games, hence almost all of their games going over 2.5 goals. I’d rather have their star Boyd fit for this game and I’m pretty sure he’ll feature but even with dreary Fulham in this game, over 2.5 goals should be a mere formality at 3/4.
Team news – Fulham miss Zamora, Johnson, and have doubts over Dembele whereas Peterborough have doubts over Boyd.
Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at 3/4.
Huddersfield Town vs Dover Athletic – home win with -1.5 handicap at 4/5.
I’m a big fan of the FA Cup romance and I won’t be crying if Dover get a result here but Huddersfield should really blow them away. Huddersfield’s defending is haphazard at best and sides of a similar quality can steal results off them if they take the lead ala Hartlepool. However, Dover aren’t good enough to do that, in my view, and could be in for a heavy defeat here. Huddersfield have their three highest scoring players available to them again – Rhodes, Pilkington, and Roberts respectively – and Huddersfield will be keen to build up some momentum ahead of their home game against Plymouth Argyle in a few days time. What convinced me to back this selection today is that Huddersfield are very much an attack-orientated side and they do score goals for fun so even if Dover score – which, like most sides, they probably will – I still expect Huddersfield to do the necessary damage to beat the handicap, which is reasonably priced at 4/5.
Verdict: Huddersfield Town to beat the -1.5 goal handicap at 4/5.
Scunthorpe United vs Everton – under 2.5 goals at evens.
Everton somehow defied logic to score twice against Spurs last weekend but credit given where it’s due – they were superb in that game and it had to take a performance like that for them to win against such a good side. However, I don’t believe in lightning striking twice in the same location and the fact is that Everton are very lightweight in attack, especially with no Cahill available to them. Moyes is likely to rest players here whereas Scunthorpe would adore a cup run to distract them from a dire Championship campaign. The problem is that neither side is good at scoring goals so under 2.5 goals looks a decent shout at evens.
Verdict: Under 2.5 goals at evens.
Hull City vs Wigan Athletic – home win with draw no bet at 5/6.
Hull City welcome back Robert Koren from illness but have doubts over Brad Guzan; not because he’s injured but because he’s on loan from Aston Villa, who are reportedly unwilling to allow him to play in this game, which is a tad bizarre.
I’ve discovered a newfound respect for Hull lately as they continue to play good football and grind out good results. Signing Koren in midfield was a great move and I think signing Fryatt from Leicester in attack was another great move as they bid to storm up the Championship. To be honest, I quite fancy Hull as outsiders to make their way back to the Premier League this season with the quality available to them and if they continue playing as well as they are then I don’t see why not. The only side to beat them in their last ten games was Leicester City and their last match saw them win an excellent game 2-3 at Portsmouth, which again impressed me. Pearson’s Hull City are playing well and should be taken seriously, in my view, so I quite fancy them today.
Wigan – well, what can I write about them? One week they can beat Chelsea and the next they’ll lose against Wolves, such is the polar opposites of their displays. However, it cannot be denied that their defending is casual and their attacking is generally ineffectual so I’m taking a chance here. They miss on loan starlet Cleverley through injury and his creativity and goalscoring threat will be sorely missed here, especially with striker Boselli out too. However, N’Zogbia should return to boost their attack although the bizarre goalkeeping situation at Wigan continues with Kirkland’s return seeing him sustain an injury and miss this game whereas on loan goalkeeper Al-Habsi could play if Bolton Wanderers allow it. Failing that, we’ll see veteran Mike Pollitt between the sticks and that may give Hull some confidence as age is not on his side and nor is match practice. Wigan don’t have great depth and if they rest players then they should really struggle here.
To be honest, based on some of Wigan’s displays this season, their first team could very well struggle here – it just depends what day you find them on. However, taking in-form Hull to win with draw no bet cover at 5/6 looks tempting to me today.
Team news – Hull City miss Chester, McLead have a doubt over McShane whereas Wigan Athletic miss Cleverley, Boselli, and Kirkland.
Verdict: Hull City to win with draw no bet at 5/6.
Exeter City vs Milton Keynes Dons – home win at 11/8.
St.James Park is one of the more feared venues in League One, which I find interesting as Exeter are not one of the best sides. However, travelling sides don’t like playing Exeter away and whether it’s their mindset or Exeter’s additional determination to play well in front of their own fans, I’m not sure, but Exeter always play well at home. They attack and score goals freely and that’s why they’ve won five out of ten at home this season in League One, losing just twice along the way. Exeter have few problems finding the net, hence only the top three clubs in the division and Peterborough United having scored more goals at home than they have, so they are to be taken seriously here. Old hand Curton and his partners-in-crime Logan and O’Flynn have all been around the block and all make Exeter a dangerous side to underestimate. The problem I have with the hosts is that they adopt a very Peterborough-esque style to their play i.e. fuck defence; let’s go and score more goals. Therefore, Exeter score a lot and concede a lot. They were a bit unlucky to lose at home to Brighton last match and will look to bounce back against MK Dons today and they’ve certainly got the firepower to do so.
MK Dons are a bit of an enigma, however. They’re immense at home and terrible away with very few exceptions. I can’t put my finger on how a side that average conceding less than a goal per home game can concede over two per away game – this isn’t Peru with loads of altitude problems! Nonetheless, that’s what the Dons do and it costs them, naturally, hence losing nine times in eleven away games in League One this season. They’re a capable footballing side and pass it around nicely enough but they’re so vulnerable at the back that it’s unbelievable at times. Happily, MK Dons are also struggling in attack today with Balanta injured and Baldock and Chadwick doubtful for this game. If they’re out then I’m all over Exeter here as the Dons can’t defend so all they can hope to do is attack and match Exeter blow-for-blow, which they’ll struggle to do without the afore-mentioned.
All in all, the home win at 11/8 does seem rather generously priced. Approach with caution as MK Dons play a good game of football but the home win looks favourable here.
Team news – Milton Keynes Dons miss Balanta and have doubts over Baldock and Chadwick.
Verdict: Exeter City to win at 11/8.
Sporting Clube de Lisboa vs Sporting Braga – over 2.5 goals at 23/20.
This should be a fascinating game for all the wrong reasons with Lisbon having endured a torrid season at home and Braga having been far worse than that away from home. Braga have lost five out of seven on the road and are still yet to win away from home in the Liga Sagres whereas Sporting struggle to score more than a goal per home game, hence just two wins in six home games. However, both sides have picked up a little now for varying reasons with Lisbon gathering momentum and Braga finally able to concentrate on their domestic campaign without European influence. There’s been a couple of changes during the break, however, with Braga having sold number one goalkeeper Felipe to Flamengo at the end of December and have signed veteran Marcos from Maritimo Funchal as a replacement. That will affect them here, especially as their defensive game is virtually non-existant for the vast majorty of the time. Braga have averaged conceding nearly two goals per away game this season and without Echiejile, and Rodriguez available to them today, I expect another long night for their defence. Braga are missing a number of players for this one, in fact, with star striker Matheus absent, as well as midfielder Aguiar, so Braga are going to struggle to emerge from Lisbon with anything tonight. Braga’s last three visits to Lisbon have gone over 2.5 goals and although they’ve won two of those games, I don’t think that record will be improving tonight. Lisbon themselves are a little thin on the attacking front with Djalo, Fernandez, Ismailov, and Maniche all absent for this game for varying reasons. However, Braga’s defence should give Postiga and co. ample opportunities to win this game and in all honesty, Lisbon really should win this one. However, Braga rarely go down without a fight and they’re more than capable of scoring in this game themselves, even without Matheus. Tempting as the home win is here, Lisbon are priced a little too short for my liking whereas over 2.5 goals is priced rather generously at 23/20, which is no doubt heavily influenced by the statistics of this season rather than the quality of both sides so my call is over 2.5 goals as I think the bookies have priced this one incorrectly.
Team news – Sporting miss Grimi, Djalo, Maniche, Fernandez, and Ismailov whereas Braga miss Mateus, Rodriguez, Madrid, Aguiar, Echiejile, and Elton.
Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at 23/20.
Numancia vs Las Palmas – home win at 5/6.
Five wins in nine home games is a statistic that is finally beginning to show how strong Numancia actually are on their own turf. Numancia aren’t a particularly classy side but they’re a very effective battling side, which sounds about right for a northern Spain side. Indeed, Numancia’s squad is unsurprisingly packed with Basque players (i.e. Bakero, Lafuente, Angulo, Velez etc.) which naturally means that Numancia battle more than most sides. Indeed, they’re going to need all of that battling spirit today to score without powerful African striker Balde, who is injured. Nonetheless, midfielder Mabwati should provide enough for the hosts for Velez or Del Pino to score and they’ve always got Bakero in midfield to help out if needed. Numancia stated their intent for the latter part of their campaign by coming back from the winter break and trouncing Ponferradina 0-4 so they bring strong momentum into this game. Let’s face it – Numancia love playing Las Palmas, too – they’ve beaten them in four out of their last five meetings and have beaten them for four consecutive meetings in Soria so the hosts are deservedly favourites here.
Las Palmas are a decent side but struggle massively away from home, something that is no doubt attributed to due to them being based a long way from most other teams. Las Palmas are facing one of the longest journeys that a Segunda Liga side can make by travelling from the Canary Islands to northern Spain and with their form very weak of late, it’s unlikely to be a pleasant trip. Las Palmas have been horrific defensively in recent times and I don’t see that improving with ex-Villarreal goalkeeper Barbosa still injured. Their attack is somewhat limited too with Cejudo and Guayre missing this game through injury, not to mention Gomez, so things are steadily going from bad to worse for Las Palmas. No other side in the division has conceded more goals away from home than Las Palmas with today’s visitors averaging conceding over two goals per away game, a record matched only by Barcelona II, unsurprisingly! You can always tell how well Las Palmas are playing by their home form and considering that they needed a late goal to draw at home to Barcelona II, it’s fair to say that they’re not playing well! They’re shipping goals against everyone and with some important players out today, I don’t see them experiencing much joy against bogey side Numancia today.
I’d leave it if the price drops but a solid and in-form Numancia side are worth a bet at 5/6 to beat poor-travelling and defensively-inept Las Palmas today in my eyes.
Team news – Numancia miss Lafuente, Nano, Mario, and Balde whereas Las Palmas miss Gomez, Barbosa, Carril, Cejudo, Pollo, and Guayre.
Verdict: Numancia to win at 5/6.
