Sorry guys, simply haven’t got time to do any kind of presentable previews today so you can have a couple of lines and feel free to ask any questions as I’ll have a lot more time on sunday morning to answer them.
Today’s secondary featured game is the Serie A game in Turin between Juventus and Parma.
Effectively, these two sides frequently score goals against each other. Juventus barely kept any clean sheets last season and despite lavishly splashing the cash to improve their team, their defence does not convince me. Parma play good football and have players in their ranks that can cause problems. The 1×2 market is a big no bet for me but both sides scoring looks good here.
Verdict: Both sides to score at evens.
Sunday’s Picks
My tips:
As ever, below are my recommended value tips for today in no particular order:
VPS Vaasa vs TPS Turku – away win at 11/10.
VPS Vaasa continue to miss more and more players. Big problems at the back now Woodbine has left and with Tanska still out. TPS aren’t in great condition themselves, despite a somewhat misleading win against HJK Helsinki thanks to a horribly inaccurate decision which saw Seb Sorsa dismissed for HJK helsinki. Nonetheless, the return of Riski has increased their ability to create and score chances and with Aaritalo up front, I can only see a TPS win as good value today.
Verdict: TPS Turku to win at 11/10.
Catania vs Siena – home win at 11/10.
Catania are a nightmare to face at home. They lost a couple of important players pre-season but have a great foundation and play solid attacking football at home. Siena are a decent side but nothing that concerns me. There’s value on the home win here, in my view.
Verdict: Catania to win at 11/10.
Palermo vs Internazionale – away win at 11/10.
I absolutely hate backing away wins in Sicily because it’s really tough to do but I think Inter can do it here. Palermo made a lot of changes pre-season, as usual. They lost a whole host of players, including highly sought-after Argentinian playmaker Pastore. They’ve lost Bovo, Goian, and Cassani, two of which were regulars in their defence. The impetus is back on Miccoli alone to score goals, really, which makes life tough for him. They signed Silvestre to strengthen their defence and I’m sure he will. However, there’s just not enough firepower in their squad and I think that could hurt them this season. Inter, on the other hand, have no problems with firepower with Forlan set to make himself a Serie A legend in no time at all, I’m quite sure. He’s too good for Serie A, in all honesty, and with powerhouse Pazzini and pacey Zarate alongside him, Serie A defences need to be afraid here, especially with Sneijder behind them. For me, 11/10 on the away win is worth a dabble.
Verdict: Internazionale to win at 11/10.
Vaslui vs Dinamo Bucharest – home win at 6/5.
Both sides have problems right now but in my view, Dinamo are the worst off. They’ve sold their best player Torje and although that’s not an uncommon thing for the Romanian side to do, the repercussions could be bad. Dinamo Bucharest can’t defend; we all know. They obtain points by scoring more than their opponents but without Torje, their goalscoring ratio is going to take a hit due to the assists and goals that the pacey winger made. They’ve still got Alexe but it’s a lot to pin on his shoulders. Dinamo have gifted finishers but little creativity and that makes games like this very hard. Vaslui have a solid core and play well as a unit, unlike Dinamo, and they have enough firepower to make it count today so 6/5 on the home win appeals here.
Verdict: Vaslui to win at 6/5.
Amkar Perm’ vs Spartak Moscow – away win at evens.
Amkar are going down this season; it’s a simple as that, in my eyes. I rate them a lot in Perm but they’re not scoring goals anymore and it’s going to hurt them. They were fixed to win at Tom’ Tomsk last match and still couldn’t take some very easy chances despite Tom’ Tomsk’s best efforts in helping them out. If you score a goal in Perm against Amkar, you’ll generally win nowadays and it wasn’t always that way. Spartak have more than enough firepower to score a couple of goals here so thea way win at evens appeals to me.
Verdict: Spartak Moscow to win at evens.
