Flora Tallinn vs Levadia Tallinn
FreeYou know, I was sat here last night thinking that there were going to be few good value bets on saturday due to a lack of games. I was a little concerned, truth be told – saturday is a big day for us all in the betting world and to not have it is a bit weird and unwelcome, really! However, I’m pleased to say that my fears were utterly quelled when I saw the sheer scale of potential value on today’s games so have a look below!
Today’s featured game is the Meistriliiga game between Flora Tallinn and Levadia Tallinn. Flora Tallinn have faded when compared next to Levadia Tallinn in recent years despite still being the bigger club, two factors that make this derby very interesting. I’ve made a lot of money backing Levadia to win the derby in recent times, however, because they’re simply the better side. However, bookies have started catching on with the growing gulf in class between the two fierce rivals and I’ve even seen odds of 8/13 on Levadia to beat Flora during a recent meeting of these two sides, odds which are useless, really. However, the bookies appear to have become very generous indeed ahead of the World Cup as you can see below!
Flora Tallinn have had a very good season. They’re still one of the top sides in Estonia and are in terrific Meistriliiga form currently with six consecutive wins. However, that doesn’t really tell the full story, does it? Barring back-to-back victories over Nomme Kalju, Flora have played some very poor sides that they really should be beating but they’ve beaten them nervously, often by a solitary goal. I think Flora are allowing their momentum and statistics to cover up for the fact that they’re not scoring as many goals as they should be. I admire that Flora spread their goals around their team but whilst Finnish midfielder Valeri Minkenen is their top goalscorer after twelve Meistriliiga games, you have to be somewhat concerned for the hosts.
“Not scoring goals? You must be mad – they average scoring over two goals per game at home!”. True enough, but the Meistriliiga is home to a lot of goalscoring from the bigger sides and I personally feel that they’re not doing enough. Who have Flora Tallinn beaten at home this season of any calibre aside from Nomme Kalju? Two newly-promoted sides? It’s hardly inspiring, is it? They’ve won every home game this season but all records are there to be broken and Flora Tallinn are looking like having a troublesome encounter against their nowadays more illustrious rivals, Levadia Tallinn. We also must take into consideration that Flora Tallinn travelled to Latvia three days ago (not far geographically) for a tough tie at FK Ventspils in the Baltic League, losing 2-0. It’s got to have tired them at least a little and the result is not going to assist their momentum, which is something they frankly need currently to match a rampant Levadia Tallinn. Stanislav Pedok was impressive for Estonia U21 against Turkey U21 a few days ago and Flora will need him to have any chance of taking something from their game against Levadia today.
Levadia Tallinn surprisingly haven’t been as dominant this season as they usually are. They’ve had a couple of bizarre draws but frankly they’re still top of the table because they’re still the best side in Estonia. Nine wins in twelve games, zero defeats, and an average of over two goals scored per game overall is a damn good record for most sides, although it’s probably a bit less than Levadia are used to, to be honest! Levadia haven’t had a mid-week game so they’re well-rested, although defender Igor Morozov will be reeling from his late and unnecessary red card for Estonia U21 as they proudly overcame Turkey U21 – a bitter pill to swallow after a heroic result for the Baltic side.
I’d normally be a little apprehensive backing Levadia at rivals Flora because Levadia frankly haven’t scored enough goals on the road this season. However, the game here a couple of weeks ago in the Estonian Cup affirmed just why Levadia are the daddies in Estonia currently as they steam-rollered Flora 3-0 here, which is exactly what they’re capable of. Experienced striker Tarmo Neemelo is in great form currently with seven goals in nine appearances and he’ll no doubt be key for Levadia should they achieve victory today.
These two sides are massive and thus so is the rivalry, which is why seven consecutive wins in this derby for Levadia (including home and away games) is simply not good enough from Flora’s perspective, although it backs up my statements above rather well indeed. Levadia have won four out of their last five visits here and drew the other game so you can see for yourselves how big the gulf between these two sides is beginning to get. Despite Flora’s excellent start to the season, I’m surprised that the bookies have been taken in by their displays enough to give them a fighting chance against Levadia because I honestly can’t give them a chance here – Levadia are too good. I’d take Levadia to win this game at 5/6 so I’ll definitely be taking them to win this game at very generous odds of 11/10 today.
Verdict: Levadia Tallinn to win at 11/10.
Saturday’s Picks
My tips:
As ever, below are my recommended value tips for today in no particular order:
Malta U21 vs Ukraine U21 – under 2.5 goals at 5/4.
It’s not always the case but more often than not, U21 fixtures tend to emulate what their respective senior sides would achieve but to a lessened degree and today is no exception. Malta U21 are a poor side and Ukraine U21 are a decent side. Malta U21 rarely score but often concede and Ukraine U21 are hard to beat but don’t score many themselves – just like their senior side. Make no mistake here – I thoroughly expect Ukraine to win this game but there’s zero value in it at 1/20. Ukraine won the reversal of this fixture just 1-0 a while ago and have gone under 2.5 goals in three out of their last four away games. Malta have gone under 2.5 goals for six consecutive games due to scoring zero goals and don’t look likely to chance that statistic today. I have a scoreline of 0-2 in my head but there looks to be value in under 2.5 goals at 5/4 today with the proviso that Malta don’t do the unthinkable and score!
Verdict: Under 2.5 goals at 5/4.
Braband vs Fyn – away win at 10/11.
This bet entirely hinges upon Braband’s inability to play football. They’ve pretty much been relegated since the start of the season due to some absymal performances and those performances haven’t improved since relegation was actually confirmed either. Braband have lost nine out of thirteen home games already this season and average scoring less than a goal per home game, hence their problem. Braband’s defensive record is actually quite good in comparison to their league placing but if you don’t score goals, you don’t win games. Braband have lost three out of their last four home games with their only break from defeats being a rare victory over fellow relegation strugglers Skive. Braband just aren’t good enough to compete, particularly in front of goal, and I expect that to be a factor today.
Visitors Fyn have nothing to play for so approach with caution. However, they’ve won six out of their last seven games so momentum is strong for them currently. They’ve won two out of their last three away games and have already won six out of thirteen away games this season, a record which only three sides can better so they are adept on the road. Fyn arguably don’t score enough goals on the road but they’ve scored four goals during their last two away wins and they are the superior side so they should continue that form against a demoralised and impotent Braband side.
The odds are a little shorter than I’d prefer but frankly there’s value in anyone beating Braband at 10/11 currently because the hosts aren’t scoring goals. I’d have expected 8/11 for a superior Fyn side to win this one but I’ll settle for 10/11 on the away win quite happily in light of the above information.
Verdict: Fyn to win at 10/11.
Lootus vs Maag Tammeka Tartu – away win at 11/10.
There’s not an awful lot between these two sides but Lootus are simply a poor newly-promoted side and Maag Tammeka Tartu enjoy getting under everyone’s skins, particularly Trans Narva, with whom they’ve drawn twice with away from home already in the Meistriliiga this season. Maag have held Levadia Tallinn at home this season (one of just two sides thus far) and have proven a real tough nut to crack so they’re worthy of your respect. Maag don’t score as many goals as they should but they’re still a decent side. They eased past Viljandi Tulevik a couple of games ago and drew at Trans Narva last match so they’ve got good momentum currently. Maag have already won three out of seven away games and only Trans Narva and Sillamae Kalev have scored more on the road than they have at the moment. I still think that there are a lot of sides better than Maag in this division but they’re playing well and they should be too good for a poor Lootus side today, especially considering that Lootus have already lost four out of their five home games this season due to their inability to score goals so you have to fancy a motivated Maag to overcome their lesser hosts today at generous odds.
P.S. My thanks go to Siim for his additional input on this game!
Verdict: Maag Tammeka Tartu to win at 11/10.
Slovakia vs Cameroon – Slovakia to win at 9/5.
I can’t fathom these odds whatsoever. I’ll admit I’ve not been able to locate any team news about the game but unless Slovakia are fielding a second string today then these odds are wrong!
Slovakia are a good side, particularly in attack, and conditions in nearby Austria will suit them a lot more than the Cameroonians. A lot of people have respect for the Cameroonians but I’m not enitrely sure why. The most common argument I hear is “Well, Eto’o plays for them” – so what? He’s not even that good a striker – he’s very quick and he’s a hard-worker but little else in my personal opinion. The fact is that Cameroon aren’t that good a side anymore, even in Africa. They drew here in Austria with Georgia lately, which is unacceptable given the declining state of Georgian football currently. I simply don’t rate Cameroon as being a very good side whereas Slovakia are and have proven so countless times in recent years. The only weakness I’d identify with them is that their atypical 3-5-2 formation can leave them exposed on the flanks and they are a little susceptible to the pace of someone like Eto’o but ultimately Slovakia offer a far greater attacking threat than Cameroon from all angles so I have to favour the Europeans to win this one today whilst they’re at generous odds of 9/5 Needless to say that if it is a second string that Slovakia are fielding then stay away but if the likes of Vittek and Hamsik are playing then I have to favour Slovakia today.
Verdict: Slovakia to win at 9/5.
Poland vs Finland – home win at 4/6.
Poland are a bit shorter than I’d hoped at 4/6 but should still prove to be good value. Stuart Baxter’s Finland have disappointed me with no real consistency and no real goal threat in recent games. I had high expectations of him given his thorough knowledge of Scandinavian football but Finland have declined under him to a level where I don’t feel comfortable backing them against anyone. It’s a shame because the Veikkausliiga is producing some fine young talent currently but Baxter isn’t getting the best out of his sides so they’re not making the most of that fact. Finland will apparently be changing their squad for the trip to Poland and it’s no surprise as their last excursion resulted in a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Baltic neighbours Estonia, a result that will not have sat well with the players or the fans. Finland aren’t defending well enough, they’re not scoring enough, and they’ve not got any consistency to drag themselves out of the mess they’re in currently due to constant chopping and changing in the squad so I don’t envision a hearty display from them today. Poland have problems of their own but have become more assured in recent months, particularly at home. Goalscoring has long been Poland’s foe but the ever-impressive Robert Lewandowski is expected to front the Polish attack today along with Auxerre striker Ireneusz Jelen so there’s definitely goals there. I’m pleased to see that Blaszczykowski has been recalled to the squad because his lightning pace is a valuable attacking asset down the right-hand side so again Poland look likely to threaten today. Poland are missing Manchester United’s Tomasz Kuszczak, Rubin Kazan’s Rafal Murawski, and LOSC Lille’s Ludovic Obraniak for this game but have a full squad available aside from that. Obraniak is a loss but the other missings can be overcome quite easily. My only concern is that Poland will be trialling goalkeeper Przemyslaw Tyton of Roda JC Kerkrade in net so their defence could be a little nervy today. However, Finland are offering such a minimal threat in front of goal that I’m not as concerned as perhaps I should be and I still feel that the Poles will have the upper hand in this game today.
Poland are the superior side here and should prove to be today providing they score the necessary goals. I’ve seldom seen a Finland side looking so poor and although they’re quite a resilient and hard-to-beat outfit, they’re looking a bit lost currently and thus are there for the taking. Finland miss playmaker Alexei Eremenko for this game but should have a full squad available to them barring that. Either way, I don’t think they’ll have enough for this one today so should lose in Poland.
Although I had hoped for odds of 4/5, the bookies have cleverly given Poland 4/6 to win this game, unfortunately, which is rather astute. Nonetheless, Poland still look decent value to me today either as a single or as part of an accumulator fodder as I expect prodigy Robert Lewandowski to inspire them to victory today. This should be a good game to bet on in-play as well should you feel inclined!
Verdict: Poland to win at 4/6
Iceland vs Andorra – Iceland to beat the -1.75 handicap at 2/5.
2/5 certainly isn’t odds I’d generally associate with the word “value” but it should be good accumulator fodder. Iceland should be shorter than this on the -1.75 handicap basically so I’m taking advantage of this. We all know how shocking Andorra are and Iceland are strong at home, scoring six goals in their last three home games. Iceland have beaten minnows Andorra by two goals or more in all three of their previous meetings in either country so we know Iceland are capable of it. I don’t want this game to be 0-0 at half-time or I’ll be a tad concerned but Iceland really should beat this handicap comfortably, particularly with the Andorran league having already ended and the Icelandic Meistaradeildin currently part-way through the season, which does give the hosts another advantage. Bluntly, I’ll be very surprised if Iceland don’t break the handicap today – I’m just surprised that they’re not shorter to do so.
Verdict: Iceland to beat the -1.75 handicap at 2/5.
Sweden vs Bosnia-Herzegovina – lay Sweden at 10/11.
The odds on Sweden are a bit too short for my liking at 4/5. Sweden have had a lot of problems in the past twelve months with a real lack of quality in their side. Barring the talented but tempremental Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sweden are desperately short of talent. They’ve got pace, determination, tactical prowess, and a solid defence, but they’re simply not a threat in front of goal. Sweden have only scored more than one goal in a game just once in their past seven games. With that in mind, I can’t help but feel that odds of 4/5 on the home win largely stems from their name rather than their current level of ability. If we look at Sweden’s World Cup Qualifying campaign at home, they fell to pieces in the latter part of it because of their home form. They eased past Malta and Albania, as you’d expect, but failed to register a goal against both Denmark and Portugal at home, which is a big concern. Denmark have problems but Sweden have more, in my opinion, and I really don’t fancy their chances today.
Bosnia-Herzegovina impressed me (and everyone!) a lot during their World Cup campaign and I think it’s tragic that they didn’t make the World Cup over a beyond fortunate Portugal side who recently showed their true colours and impotence by drawing at home to former Portuguese colony Cape Verde Islands without even scoring a goal. Bosnia, however, were notorious for scoring goals, something that only Spain, England, and Germany did more often than them, which is mightily impressive. The Bosnians have some very talented players emerging and enough that are currently mid-career to give the Balkan side a good level of both experience and determination. Bosnia’s one weakenss is being a little susceptible at the back but an impotent Sweden shouldn’t trouble them excessively and I fancy the Bosnians to score a couple of goals themselves.
One thing is for sure here – this game won’t be a walk in the park for Sweden. I can’t see value in them at 4/5 because they’re just not that good anymore. Frankly, laying Sweden at 10/11 looks a better bet in my eyes because Bosnia are looking a much better side currently, particularly in front of goal, which is where it counts.
Incidentally, I wonder Ibrahimovic stares at his opponents tomorrow and wishes he was playing for them instead of Sweden as he could have done? Looking at who he’s playing with and who he could be playing with might just leave him a little torn mentally today – just food for thought!
Verdict: Lay Sweden at 10/11.
Ukraine vs Romania – home win at evens.
This is a very dicey game to bet on but whilst the odds on Ukraine are above evens, it’s worth a punt.
Ukraine’s new boss, Markevich, is the coach of arising Ukrainian Premier League club Metalist Kharkiv. He’s done a good job there and now looks set to transfer his skills to an international level. A debut 4-0 victory for his Ukraine may not look too impressive as they faced Lithuania but I rate Lithuania as a tough side to beat, especially to such a heavy level, but Ukraine breezed it. They’ll be very strong mentally as a result, as you’d expect, and take that confidence into today’s derby with Romania. Ukraine look very assured and were strong at home during their recent World Cup Qualifying campaign, avoiding defeat in all of their group games at home, winning four times and drawing once. Ukraine tend to rely heavily on their solid defence, which has held true to them, and their main quest tends to be finding goals. However, with experienced Shevchenko and impressive Milevsiky likely to spearhead the attack again today, you have to feel that there are goals in the Ukraine line-up, particularly with the delightful Olexandr Aliev likely to start again. He scores a lot of goals from midfielder, particularly with his excellent free-kicks, so again you have to feel that Ukraine look potent enough to do damage today.
Romania haven’t played a match for months and that particular match was a disappointing home defeat against Israel. Romania were impesseive in the European Championships due to solid displays but have disappointed me since then due to some lacklustre displays and a lack of consistent potency. The Romanian Liga has only just ended so any players they use in this game that play domestically will no doubt be tired after a lengthy campaign. Romania only won two out of their five away games in their World Cup Qualifiers and generally looked a little limp, truth be told. The Romanians will be up for this game due to the somewhat “derby” status of it but they’re not playing well as a unit and aren’t as assured defensively, which was always a strength of theirs whilst Goian and Radoi were at centre-back so I have little faith in Romania currently.
Although I’m taking a gamble here because Romania can match Ukraine and Ukraine have lost against them for three consecutive meetings, I feel there’s enough in Ukraine’s favour to see them win this one today.
Verdict: Ukraine to win at evens.
Spain vs Saudi Arabia – Spain to win with a -2.75 handicap at 11/10.
Do I really need to write a preview for this? Spain are the best footballing nation in the world by some distance and look capable of scoring three times against any side, let alone an average Saudi Arabia side. The game is in Austria so Spain will be taking it seriously as they prepare for the World Cup and I have confidence in any side that they field to comfortably dispose of the Arabs. The Arabs have done little to convince me that they’re any better than normal so again I favour the Spanish. I thoroughly expect Spain to win this game; all the matters is how many they score. Either way, odds of 11/10 on them to beat an average side by three goals or more are always worthy of consideration.
Verdict: Spain to beat the -2.75 handicap at 11/10.
Venezuela vs Canada – home win at 4/5.
One word; altitude. Little else can be taken into consideration here with both sides already admitting that they’ll be fielding younger and more experimental sides for this game. However, Canada might think they had a rough ride in Argentina lately as they were thrashed 5-0 by the giants of South American football. Now, however, they face a long trip north and a very high trip into Venezuela. In Merida, actually, to be precise. It’s not a notoriously high location (approximately 1500m above sea level) but it’s still one hell of a challenge for a side like Canada that are not used to it, irrespective of whether it’s their first or second string. Estudiantes de Merida play well at home in the Venezuelan Primera Division because Merida is a tough place to travel to and I expect Canada to discover that the hard way. This game should be fairly low-scoring and rather uninteresting but the hispanic hosts really have an advantage with their altitude and I expect that to be a telling factor tonight. Odds of 4/5 shouldn’t last long on this outcome but it should be good value nonetheless.
Verdict: Venezuela to win at 4/5.
Sporting Fingal vs Galway United – home win at 8/13.
Fingal have done well since promotion, losing just twice in fourteen games, and generally proving a tough nut to crack. They currently occupy fourth place in the Irish Premier League and have a good home record with three wins, two draws, and just one defeat in six home games. They bring good momentum into the game with no defeats in four consecutive games, winning twice and drawing twice. However, they don’t score enough goals as a rule, which just does hinder them. That said, I fancy that problem to virutally disappear today as they’re hosting a Galway United side that reportedly travel to Fingal with no goalkeeper! Apparently their goalkeeper is injured and even their temporary replacement goalkeeper (actually their defender!) is also missing so Galway United are almost guaranteed to have a game to forget today. They’ve had a poor season already and only the bottom two sides in the division have leaked more goals than they have currently so they should concede quite heavily today. The squad won’t fall apart without a goalkeeper but you do become more hesitant defensively without a commanding goalkeeper behind you and therefore I expect Fingal to capitalise and inflict a fourth away defeat of the season for Galway United. I wouldn’t go big on the handicap because of the above as Fingal aren’t too reliable with goalscoring but this game does look accumulator-worthy.
Verdict: Sporting Fingal to win at 8/13.
Skonto Riga vs Liepajas Metalurgs – home win at evens.
I loathe backing the Latvian giants against each other because they’re all capable of beating each other but I’ve got something to work with this time which will hopefully yield success. Skonto Riga have lost their last two home games against Liepajas consecutively with their most recent Virsliga encounter resulting in a 6-1 humiliation by the visitors, which Skonto will undoubtedly be seeking revenge for. Skonto lost back-to-back games against Liepajas a few weeks ago in the Baltic League and that’s ironically a big part of why I’m backing them today. Liepajas are still in the Baltic League and have just come back from a tough game in Lithuania against Suduva Marijampole, who beat them 3-0, which is sure to have demoralised and tired them as they game was just three days ago. The trip to face Skonto is the last one they’d have wanted after a demoralising excursion to their neighbouring country, particularly with Skonto in such lethal form, so I expect the hosts to take the initiative and overcome Liepajas today. Skonto have won all seven Virsliga games this season and average scoring four goals per game currently whereas Liepajas are struggling to score goals despite their lofty league placing so I can see Skonto using their momentum to edge this one against their weary rivals today and the odds are worthwhile whilst they remain at evens or above.
Verdict: Skonto Riga to win at evens.
Jurmala vs Dinaburg Daugavpils – away win at 5/4.
There’s not an awful lot to write about this game – there’s just a mismatch in quality. Jurmala have lost their two home games already this season despite facing newly-promoted Jauniba already so they’re looking as susceptible as ever. Jurmala manage to achieve mid-table more often than not because they’re fairly competent but there are four sides in Latvia that are the best in the country and they are FK Ventspils, Liepajas Metalurgs, Skonto Riga, and Dinaburg Daugavpils and they’re the sides that Jurmala rarely get anything against. Dinaburg paled in recent years due to being convicted of bribery but are starting to arise this season so don’t be mistaken here – they’re a very good side. Jurmala will give Dinaburg a rough ride but the visitors are the better side and are unbeaten in three consecutive games so they bring some decent momentum into this game. To finally tip the scales in Dinaburg’s favour, they’ve won four out of their last five visits here and have never lost against Jurmala either at home or away. With the above in mind, the odds on the away win are worthy of conideration today.
Verdict: Dinaburg Daugavpils to win at 5/4.
Cordoba vs Cartagena – home win at 2/1.
These odds are laughable! Cordoba are a strong home side every year in the Segunda Liga and this year is no exception. Don’t be deceived because of the mid-table placing – they’re simply poor away from home. Cordoba have won ten out of nineteen home games in the Segunda Liga this season and have only lost three times during that run. They don’t score many goals but their iron defence often gives them the ideal platform to win games and they tend to capitalise at home too. Only promotion candidates Hercules Alicante, Real Sociedad, and Levante have won more home games than Cordoba this season so that should give you some idea of their strength on their own turf. No wins in four games for Cordoba looks daunting, doesn’t it? Not really. Only one of those games was at home and that was against a good Recreativo de Huelva side, which they drew against. If you look at their most recent home games then you realise just how good they are. Despite having nothing to play for, Cordoba have gone unbeaten in their last four home games, winning three times along the way despite hosting four very strong sides – Real Sociedad, Levante, Numancia, and Recreativo de Huelva – along the way. Bluntly, don’t underestimate the strong hosts as the bookies have – it’s brought more people to their knees before now than you might expect.
I’ll give Cartagena the respect they deserve for a fabulous season but it cannot possibly be denied that they’ve over-achieved and I think that it’s finally starting to show. They look dejected and why wouldn’t they be? They’ve just had a hammer blow to their promotion hopes delivered to them expertly by a good Levante side as Cartagena lost 5-3 at home. Cartagena have now lost two consecutive games, their other defeat coming at lowly Salamanca, so you have to worry for Cartagena today. They’re still very much in the battle for the third promotion place but they’ve got a nightmarish away game today and they’ve bottled it in their last two games so why not again today? I simply can’t accept how short the bookies are pricing an over-achieving but nervous Cartagena as they travel to a Cordoba side that are always strong at home, even when it doesn’t matter, so I can only endorse the home win today although draw no bet is also a wise option.
Verdict: Cordoba to win at 2/1.
IFK Norrkoping vs Syrianska Sodertalje – home win at 11/10.
After a poor Superettan campaign last year, IFK Norrkoping are finally looking the Allsvenskan side that they deserve to be with some commanding displays this season. They’ve notched up five wins in eight games and have won three games out of four at home, drawing the other. IFK have scored over two goals per home game during that run and have only conceded twice so they’re certainly a force to be reckoned with. IFK are an Allsvenskan side by nature and really should be there so it pleases me to see them doing so well. They’ve won four out of their last five Superettan games so momentum is good and their overall level of ability is above that of most of the Superettan so I’ll give them their chances today, particularly with their lethal strike duo of Albanian Shpetim Hasani and Kenyan Russel Mwafulirwa, who have scored an impressive ten goals between them already this season.
Visitors Syrianska Sodertalje are one of the few Superettan sides capable of putting up a good show away from home which is why I suspect there are good odds on this game. I rate Syrianska highly and don’t like going against them but IFK are frankly a better side in my eyes so I feel they’re value at 11/10. Syrianska did slip up in their last away game, being crushed 5-2 by GIF Sundsvall, so they are looking human again at least. For all of Syrianska’s strengths, they do look susceptible in defence away from home against good sides which is the exact predicament they find themselves in today. Syrianska did the double over IFK last season and I doubt that the hosts today will have forgotten that, which gives them additional motivation in addition to their strong momentum so you have to favour the hosts to win this one today at generous odds of 11/10.
Verdict: IFK Norrkoping to win at 11/10.
