Sporting Braga vs SL Benfica

Free

Before I start today’s post, I’d just like to show my appreciation and thank Victor and Kamila for their tireless work in assisting The Footy Tipster behind the scenes – your loyalty will not be forgotten nor overlooked!

Today’s featured game is the Liga Sagres encounter between Sporting Braga and SL Benfica. Joint league leaders Sporting Braga have finally been brought back down to earth after having experienced the dizzying heights of seven straight wins. The culprit for this Sporting Braga experience was little Rio Ave, who held them to a 1-1 draw at home. It’s going to be interesting to see how Sporting Braga react to this result because if I’m honest, I really don’t rate their coach. I still think you’ll see his true colours before too long but that’s simply my opinion. Unfortunately for Sporting Braga, who have now had the wind knocked out of their sails, they’re now hosting a side that has so much wind in their sails that they could run across the Atlantic Ocean purely on the bloody tailwind! Yes, you got it – SL Benfica! They’re beating everyone and everything, usually by a large number of goals too. SL Benfica look to be justifying my pre-season call for them to end up as eventual winners of the Liga Sagres with seven wins from eight games, scoring an astonishing thirty goals, which works out at almost four goals per game on average! SL Benfica have long had a good side but it’s been a long time since they played like a good side. However, finally appointing the correct man for the job has finally steered SL Benfica on the path to success once again. In fact, they’re not a bad bet to lift the UEFA Europa League as long as they don’t have too many hard away games – they really struggle in those games. Returning to this game, however – SL Benfica simply have absolutely everything going for them at the moment, particularly with Oscar Cardozo in such terrifying form. Sporting Braga’s squad may be organised but SL Benfica should be able to tear through it today. Porto struggled at Sporting Braga this season and eventually lost to a very fortunate accidental goal. Even though they struggled, however, they still looked the better side, in my opinion. SL Benfica are in much better shape to face Sporting Braga today, however, and I thoroughly expect it to show. I can’t see odds of 10/11 lasting on the away win here so I advise you to take the away win at the best odds you can find!

Saturday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Sporting Braga vs SL Benfica – away win at 10/11 – see introduction for full details.

Gimnasia De La Plata vs San Lorenzo de Almagro – away win at 7/5. Hosts Gimnasia De La Plata are currently heading back down to just how they started this campaign – three straight defeats. However, unfortunately for the hosts, I suspect that they’re going to surpass that record as they’re hosting a very good San Lorenzo de Almagro. The visitors have won four from their last five games and frankly look a menace for most sides that they face, if indeed not all of them. They’ve only been beaten once in five away games this season, winning twice and drawing twice. When you also bear in mind that Gimnasia De La Plata have lost more home games in this campaign than any other Primera Division side, you have to feel that all the signs are pointing to the away win at 7/5 so give it some thought!

KVSK United vs Lierse SK – away win at 11/10. With just one win in their past five games, I think it’s fair to say that KVSK United are somewhat under-achieving of late, something that is reflected by their league positioning too. They’ve been performing better away from home than they have at home, especially as they’ve been struggling to score goals at home. Today they host the Tweede Klasse’s most popular side – Lierse SK. The league leaders look every inch the pre-season promotion cadidates that they were expected to be. They’ve not lost any of their eleven games yet and have now won five games consecutively. Only recently-relegated Tubize have won more away games than Lierse SK this season so the game is looking rather daunting for KVSK United. Lastly, with today’s visitors averaging nearly three goals per game, you really have to feel that all the factors support the away win here so taking Lierse SK at 11/10 could prove to be something of a bargain tonight.

Liege vs OH Leuven – away win at 6/4. This is a slightly dubious call as I don’t think there’s much quality difference between the two sides. However, there are a few overwhelming factors here that persuaded me to take the away win today. One is Liege’s home form as they’ve lost four out of five home games already this season, drawing the other game and only having scored one goal in those five games. They’re the joint-lowest goalscorers in the Tweede Klasse so they’re going to have a job to overcome in-form OH Leuven tonight. The visitors are unbeaten in their last five games, winning three of those gamse and drawing the other two. They’ve also already won two away games this season, showing that they are a capable side when they wish to be. Lastly, having inflicted a first defeat of the season for high-flying Eupen in their last Tweede Klasse game, their momentum will be strong and they look to have enough in their favour to secure the away win at 6/4.

Minior Pernik vs Chernomorets Burgas – away win at 6/5. Although it’s highly unlikely that Chernomorets Burgas will maintain their currently outstanding form and gain a European place next year, I’m still quite happy to ride the wave and bet against their opponents for as long as they maintain their unprecented onslaught on the A PFG. The only side remaining unbeaten in the A PFG, Chernomorets Burgas have won eight from their ten games thus far, scoring an average of two goals per game. They’ve only conceded one away goal all season and a run of four wins in five games leaves them with tremendous momentum to add to their good squad. Hosts Minior Pernik are…well, I don’t can’t really put this diplomatically but they’re simply not a very good side. They’ve proven this year after year and would you believe it – this year doesn’t appear to be any different! They’ve already lost three from their four home games so far this year, as well as having lost four of their last five games in general. Although they managed a win last match to obtain some momentum, they still don’t have the actual quality to match Chernomorets Burgas today. For me, the away win shows significant value at 6/5.

Levski Sofia vs Lokomotiv Mezdra – lay Levski Sofia at 5/2. I attempted this bet last week but we were cruelly robbed by late Levski Sofia goal. However, today the troubled Levski Sofia host a more competent side that actually knows how it feels to win a game – Lokomotiv Mezdra. The visitors have actually won four of their last five games, which is astounding to me as I generally don’t rate them very highly as a side. However, they have enough to get a result today as Levski Sofia are still in the disarray I’ve mentioned over the past couple of weeks so I think it looks worthwhile to lay the hosts at 5/2 today.

Cibalia vs Medimurje – home win with -1.75 handicap at 11/10. After a highly-impressive draw at Dinamo Zagreb last time out, I can finally believe that Cibalia are playing well enough to avoid being titled as a “fluke”. They’re unbeaten in five games now and have a good home record of three wins and two draws from five games, conceding just two goals along the way. Cibalia were very much a home side but have now seemingly developed the ability to win away from home too, worryingly enough for all of their opponents! With an average of almost two goals per game, Cibalia are looking good to break the -1.75 goal handicap today against Medimurje from an attacking perspective. This call is furthered when we examine Medimurje’s absymal away form of five losses from five games, an average of over three goals per game conceded, and just three goals scored. The visitors have also lost three of their last four games so in my eyes, the home win with -1.75 handicap at 11/10 was something of a bargain today, a real contender for my previewed game of the day!

Rijeka vs Slaven Koprivnica – home win at 10/11. Hosts Rijeka look set to maintain their fortress as they host Slaven Koprivnica today. Although both sides are in good veins of form, visitors Slaven Koprivnica are particularly woeful away from home with three wins and two draws from their five away games, scoring just once over all of those games. They average conceding two goals per away game, which is a dangerous record to take to Rijeka for any side. The hosts have typically won four of their six home games and drawn the other two games, leaving them undefeated at home so far this season. The hosts have not only conceded just three goals in those six games but also average scoring nearly three goals per game at home. With all this in mind, you have to feel that the home win at 10/11 shows considerable value today.

Pribram vs Slavia Prague– away win at 4/5. Despite some good performances this season, Pribram now find themselves on the receiving end of three consecutive losses. Regardless of how averagely Slavia Prague have been playing in the Gambrinus Liga this year, the visitors are still not a side that you can afford to play against with no form behind you. Slavia Prague have only won two of their last five games, drawing once and losing twice. However, they do boast a better squad than Pribram, to be blunt, and I expect that to grant the visitors a narrow win today. History is also on our side as Pribram haven’t even managed to score a goal against Slavia Prague in their last three meetings so the away win at 4/5 looks an interesting bet today.

Fulham vs Liverpool – home win with draw no bet odds of 7/4. Tenacious Fulham host an unimpressive Liverpool side at Craven Cottage today with a three-match unbeaten run to their name. The tricky hosts are entertaining a side that although managed to win against a despondant Manchester United last weekend, they still don’t look a good side. Liverpool are always motivated for their “cup final” rivalries but it’s sides like Fulham that they struggle against. With the additional knowledge that Steven Gerrard will not be playing in this game and the fact that Fulham managed to a claim an impressive 2-2 draw at Manchester City last match, you have to feel that the hosts have a good chance of doing what Sunderland did a couple of weeks ago (minus the beach ball, sadly!) and beat an average side that over-achieved last season. Liverpool have already lost three out of their five away games this season and I can’t really see that changing today. Fulham impressed at home to Arsenal a few weeks back and were unlucky to lose the game. I don’t think they’ll make the same mistake this time around, however. Therefore, the home win with draw no bet odds of 7/4 looks a real bargain today.

Stoke City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers – home win at 5/6. Stoke City have only lost twice out of the five games they’ve played at home this season and those two games were against the two best sides in the Premier League – Manchester United and Chelsea. The other three games all resulted in home wins because Stoke City are a very good home side and are extremely well-organised. Today they host newly-promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Britannia Stadium, a side that have already lost three out of five away games, winning just once. Wolverhampton Wanderers will most likely be one of the few sides that match the enthusiasm of Stoke City this season but they lack the quality, efficiency, and experience to truly match their fellow Midlands outfit. Unbeaten in their last three games now, Stoke City enter this game on the back of two consecutive wins. When you compare that to the fact that Wolverhampton Wanderers haven’t tasted victory in their past four games now, losing twice and drawing twice, then you have to feel that the home win at 5/6 for a very strong home side looks very likely indeed.

West Bromwich Albion vs Watford – lay West Bromwich Albion at 5/4. With just one win in their past five games, it’s fair to say that West Bromwich Albion are currently out of form. The main reason for that is that they’re misfiring. Defending hasn’t been a big part of their game under Roberto Di Matteo, which is surprising for an Italian. However, what was a big part of their game was goalscoring, something they’ve only managed to do in two of their last five games. They’ve struggled against lesser sides than Watford lately so hosting an in-form Watford could and probably should prove rather troublesome for them today. The visitors are unbeaten in their last three games and have only been beaten once on their travels all season. With six goals in their last three games, it’s safe to say that Watford are scoring goals, unlike their hosts currently, which could prove fatal if the hosts don’t rectify that today. Either way, I feel there’s value in laying the hosts at 5/4 due to the above information.

Milton Keynes Dons vs Bristol Rovers – home win at 5/6. After a crushing 4-0 home defeat against Leeds United mid-week, Bristol Rovers have now truly reached the biggest downpoint of their campaign as they’ve now lost four consecutive games. Goalscoring has been their forté this season but if they’re not doing that then they’re conceding goals and not responding. With a complete lack of momentum and form in general, Bristol Rovers will be dreading the trip to a plucky and in-form Milton Keynes Dons, a side that has won three of their last four games. The hosts have already won four games from seven at home this season and given the momentum and motivation problems that Bristol Rovers are clearly encountering currently, it’s hard to look beyond the home win at 5/6.

Stockport County vs Norwich City – away win at 10/11. Four wins in five games says that Norwich City have form. You only have to pick one of their recent games randomly to see just how well they’re playing their football, something which has impressed me immensely considering their atrocious start to this campaign. Norwich City appear determined to re-enter the Championship next season and if their current form is anything to go by then I’m sure they’ll be there too. Hosts Stockport County are coping with their financial issues as well as can be expected and their side are doing ok when you consider that fact. However, the fact remains that they’ve lost three of their last four games and have already been beaten four times in their seven home games so far this season. Nobody in League One has conceded more home goals than today’s hosts and only bottom-placed Wycombe Wanderers have scored less home goals than Stockport County. With all of the above in mind, you have to feel that the away win at 10/11 looks like a good bet today.

Ancona vs Cesena – home win at 5/4. League leaders Ancona have won their last three games consecutively, taking their total to seven wins from eleven Serie B games so far this season. The hosts seem virtually unplayable at times, although this seems far more prevalent when they play at home as they’ve won all five of their home games so far this season, averaging over two goals per game. Ancona are the only side in Serie B that can still say that they’ve won ever home game and I expect them to be able to say it after this game too. Visitors Cesena have done well since promotion from Serie C and currently boast that they’re the only side in Serie B yet to lose an away game as they’ve drawn four of their five away games played so far this season. Cesena are unbeaten in five games and generally enjoy frustraing their opponents rather than blowing them away. However, Ancona are a very potent and in-form side so although I’m a little surprised by odds of 10/11, I’m still more than happy to take them for the home win here today.

Jagiellonia Bialystok vs Polonia Warsaw – home win at 4/5. One of Poland’s most prestigious home sides today hosts Polonia Warsaw in a bid to finally jump clear of the bottom of the Ekstraklasa. The hosts have won four from six home games so far this season and this looks likely to increase today as they host a demoralised Polonia Warsaw side that are missing key defender Jodlowiec and essential defensive comrade captain Mynar. For a side that have already lost four away games from six games, these two losses are very big indeed. Jagiellonia Bialystok may have a reputation of being one of the worst away sides in the Ekstraklasa but they also bear one of the best home records in the league too, currently. With no defeats in their past five games, you really have to fancy Jagiellonia Bialystok to overcome an out-of-sorts Polonia Warsaw today at 4/5 through momentum alone, let alone with their actual ability. Lastly, look at the Ekstaklasa table because it shows a record that few leagues/sides can boast these days for obvious reasons – bottom-placed Jagiellonia Bialystok have conceded less goals than anyone else in the Ekstaklasa excepting Legia Warsaw and Ruch Chorzow.

St.Mirren vs Hamilton Academicals – home win at 5/6. I don’t normally venture into Scottish football but I feel I’m a winner with this one today. Hosts St.Mirren are unbeaten in their last three games, winnnig twice and drawing once. Momentum is stronger in the Scottish Premier League than most other factors because there’s so little of it in this dog-eat-dog division. Visitors Hamilton Academicals have lost three of their four away games so far this season, drawing the other game. They’ve also only managed to score three goals in the process, conceding ten goals on the road so far, a worse record than anyone else in this division. With the additional information that visitors Hamilton Academicals have lost three of their last four games, you have to feel there’s value in the home win at 5/6.

Real Madrid vs Getafe – away win at 6/1, lay Real Madrid at 7/4. Whichever of these two bets suit you, go for it! Why? Well, Real Madrid are nothing without Cristiano Ronaldo. He knows it, they know it, and now even fans know it. They’ve not scored in any of their last two competitive games and that looks less likely than normal to change today as they face bogey side Getafe. Real Madrid have only won once in their last three attempts to beat Getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu, and that was the fortunate game last season which saw Pepe dismissed for his brutal assault. They’ve lost to Getafe twice in their last three meetings and haven’t managed to beat their fellow Madrid rivals by more than a solitary goal since 2004. A misfiring Real Madrid will struggle aganst a plucky and determined Getafe today. I mean, hell, Real Madrid got battered 4-0 by lowly Segunda B outfit Alcorcon mid-week in the Copa del Rey and they fielded what can only be described as 80% of their first team. Real Madrid are utterly inept at defending in general but particularly when balls are played in behind their full backs. Frankly, I can’t see the under-pressure hosts coming out and putting on a good display against bogey side Getafe today but I can see the opposite occurring. Therefore, I feel that laying Real Madrid at 7/4 looks a great bet today.

Osasuna vs Barcelona – both sides to score at 4/5. This bet is a bit of a no-brainer, really! There’s only one game Osasuna haven’t scored in this season out of the nine competitive games they’ve played and have also managed to score against Barcelona in their last two meetings too. I don’t feel I need to explain why Barcelona will score in this game because they simply always do score. Therefore, taking both sides to score at 4/5 looks a great bet to me today!

Cordoba vs Huesca – home win at 21/20. Cordoba are very much the home side that they were last year as they’ve won three of their four home games played this season, drawing the other game. Although their recent form has dipped and left them winless in three games, the hosts still have everything they require to win this game at their fortress as their record clearly indicates. Visitors Huesca are enduring a poor season thus far just one win in nine games so far. They’ve not won in their last five games, drawing three times and losing twice. Although they’re not the worst side in the division, Huesca will stil have a very difficult task to take points off a side that very few sides take points off when they’re playing them away from home. Frankly, taking Cordoba to win this game at 21/20 may have its risk elements but it’s still very much worthwhile in my eyes.
