Today’s secondary featured game is the Eerste Klasse encounter in Belgium between Standard de Liege and Club Brugge. This battle of the heavyweights comes at a very convenient time for the hosts and subsequently, I fancy them to win this game.

As I’ve mentioned countless times before, Standard de Liege rely on three instrumental attacking players who carry them; Witsel, Tchite, and Defour. The injury-prone Defour has been out for some time but returns for this game and to me, that spells victory for Standard here. Witsel brings plenty of creativity to the game and Tchite brings the finesse that no other Standard striker has currently but it’s captain Defour who makes them tick and his return will boost them physically, creatively, and mentally. The fans adore Defour and although I doubt we’ll see him in a Standard shirt next season, he’s still a legend here and his return should do an awful lot for them today. Playing Standard in Liege is hard enough as it is but with a hero returning home as Defour is, you have to favour them here.

Additionally, Club Brugge are rather susceptible in defence, as we all know, due to their frequent attempts at playing flambuoyant football in midfield. However, they’re missing by far their best player of the season thus far – Vargas – and in his absence they lose goals and creativity on a grandiose scale so I fear for Brugge here. They also miss Geraerts in midfield, which is yet another hefty blow. Club Brugge’s dominance always comes from their excellent midfield as they lack quality strikers and rarely flatter to deceive in defence. Therefore, the pressure is heaped upon highly promising midfielder Perisic and Moroccan midfielder Dirar and although they’re certainly good enough to do damage here, you sense that Brugge need a full team here to get a result against an enthused Standard side and they just don’t have that today so I have my doubts here.

I’ll oppose Standard de Liege until I’m blue in the face if they lack any of their three stars, especially Defour, but with all three of them playing they tend to look every inch the giants that they are and that’s what I expect from them today. I think Club Brugge could still overcome 80% of the Eerste Klasse sides that they’d face without Geraerts and Vargas but I don’t think that Liege will be one of them. Expect plenty of goals here but for me, there’s value in the home win at 11/10.

Team news – Club Brugge miss Vargas, De Cuyper, Dhoest, Deschilder, and Geraerts.

Verdict: Standard de Liege to win at 11/10.

Sunday’s Picks

My tips:

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

Velez Sarsfield vs Boca Juniors – home win at 11/10.

Velez haven’t had an ideal start to their current campaign; far from it, in fact. However, they’re finally facing a side under more pressure than they are so some of the pressure is surely going to be relieved here.

Velez haven’t really changed since last season but a poor start is eating away at their confidence and that was highlighted during a bizarre mid-week loss at home to Chile’s Universidad Catolica in the Copa Libertadores so let’s hope they pull their socks up for one of the larger Buenos Aires derbies tonight, although to be honest, most games in the Primera Division are Buenos Aires derbies!

Velez still have their lethal trio of Silva, Moralez, and Martinez so the offensive power is still there; Velez just need their composure back and tonight is the opportune moment for them to reclaim it. Boca Juniors have atypically heaped pressure upon yet another good manager who’ll almost certainly be sacked long before he should be (as they all are) because he’s angered Boca fans by dropping club legend Riquelme during the game with All Boys. Falconi is a good manager and should be left to his own devices but the fans getting invovled tends to fuck everything up and although Boca still have some terrific individuals, they’re still going to struggle against a good Velez side here tonight, in my view, especially if their fans are more intent on causing problems than supporting their team.

Boca’s defence is vulnerable and although Velez aren’t firing on all cylinders, I think they’ve got more cohesion and ability than Boca do as a unit so the home win at 11/10 appeals to me here.

Verdict: Velez Sarsfield to win at 11/10.

Union Espanola vs Colo Colo – away win at 6/5.

Americo Gallego is the talented boss who has now been placed in charge of Chilean giants Colo Colo so this game should hopefully prove to be the fabled honeymoon period for him.

We all know how good Colo Colo are when they’re in the mood and they’ve improved a lot lately, to be fair. Their 0-3 win at Palestino flattered them but a great 2-4 victory in Venezuela earlier this week against Deportivo Tachira gives them good momentum to bring into this game so I think they need to be given a shot here. Colo Colo don’t pay much attention to the defensive side of things, which is quite astute of them because they’re no good at it. However, they are good at goalscoring and bagging seven times in two games tells us that they’re ready to keep scoring, especially if they intend on impressing Gallego.

Colo Colo haven’t won at Union Espanola since 2008 but with the hosts finally having Copa Libertadores concerns of their own, I think they’ll be a bit stretched here. Visitors Colo Colo had four days rest ahead of this game; Union Espanola have only just arrived back from Venezuela themselves after a tenacious 2-0 loss against Caracas so not only are they jaded but also a tad demoralised too. Unlike their opponents tonight, Union Espanola don’t have strength in depth – they’ve got a strong starting eleven but average back-up so they could be in for a rough ride here if they field tired first-team players or average second-string players.

Either way, the odds on the away win look generous with the above in mind so that’s my call here.

Verdict: Colo Colo to win at 6/5.

Deportes Tolima vs Once Caldas Manizales – home win at 10/11.

Home advantage tends to count for a lot in most countries but especially so in Colombia where an away win is as rare as an honest politician is in England!

However, this game in Ibague is at altitude to Once Caldas have their work cut out here, especially having only just arrived back from playing San Luis in Mexico. They gained a credible 1-1 draw but will still be tired for this trip and Tolima are not an easy side to face at any time. Tolima had a game earlier this week themselves, playing out a 0-0 draw with high-flying Cruzeiro and generally leaving a good account of themselves. They’ve had more days to prepare for this game than opponents Once Caldas have, however, and they’ve also not had to travel outside the country, which places the advantage firmly with the hosts.

Quality-wise, I find it very hard to separate these two sides and thus I don’t usually bet on these games. However, given the additional travelling of Once Caldas lately and the strength of Tolima at home, especially in this fixture over the past few years, backing the home win at 4/5 looks a good call tonight.

Verdict: Deportes Tolima to win at 10/11.

APOP/Kinyras vs Olympiakos Nicosia – away win with draw no bet at evens.

With APOP/Kinyras desperate for points to try and exit the automatic relegation places and move into the relegation-play off places, you could be forgiven for leaving this game well alone. However, take into your calculations that they miss star Belgian midfielder Van Dessel for this game and that they’re not only facing a superior Olympiakos Nicosia side but an Olympiakos Nicosia side that also need the points to try and avoid the relegation play-off zone and we have a very interesting game on our hands. APOP, to their credit, have really gone for it in their last few games, attacking wildly to try and secure their stay in the division. All that’s happened, however, are three convincing defeats due to atrocious defending although APOP did score a few goals along the way too. APOP have actually conceded twelve goals in three games now, however, and that’s not form that’s going to win you games. Olympiakos have found life a little tough lately too but a very tough win at Ethnikos Achnas and a draw with Alki have slightly set the ball rolling again for them form-wise. Olympiakos are a battling side and I find the chances of them losing this game being somewhat remote because very few sides manage to outscore them. Given how many APOP are conceding at the moment, I can only see one side winning this game (if any) so my call is the away win with draw no bet as cover.

Team news – APOP/Kinyras miss Ndikumana and Van Dessel.

Verdict: Olympiakos Nicosia to win with draw no bet at evens.

Doxa vs APOEL Nicosia – over 2.5 goals at evens.

Much like APOP/Kinyras in the preview above, Doxa are also bidding to beat the drop but they’re having considerably more success than their rivals, actually winning their last two home games in a row, beating Alki 3-0 and APOP/Kinyras 4-3. As times have gotten desperate, Doxa have been attacking freely and defending terribly so it’s no surprise at all that their last four games have easily cleared 2.5 goals and I expect the same today. Visitors APOEL Nicosia have no reason to win this game as they’ve already qualified for the next round of the Cypriot Champions Qualifiers so they may be a tad casual here, just as they have been in general lately, losing two out of their last three games. APOEL do miss star striker Trichiovski for this game, not to mention number one goalkeeper Chiotis, but they’ve got adequate replacements in attack with Almeida, Manduca, and Solari. Goalkeeping back-up, however – that could prove more troublesome.

Either way, this game looks dead set on going over 2.5 goals. Doxa cannot afford anything but a win with just a few games remaining whereas APOEL are by far the superior of these two sides with no necessity to win this game. For me, over 2.5 goals is priced rather long at evens.

Team news – APOEL Nicosia miss Trichovski, Mirosavljevic, Bonaventoura, and Chiotis.

Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at evens.

Omonia Nicosia vs A.E.Paphos – under 2.5 goals at evens.

Much like bitter rivals APOEL Nicosia, Omonia Nicosia have already qualified for the next round of the Cypriot Division 1 so they’ve no motivation to do anything, which is fortunate because that’s exactly what they’ve done in their last few games – nothing. Omonia have now drawn three consecutive games 0-0, only one of which is acceptable, in my eyes. That record is unlikely to improve today as they’ve no reason to win the game and star target man Konstantinou is absent and Omonia don’t score goals when he’s not around, simply put! This game does mean the world to their opponents A.E.Paphos, however, who would take anything but a defeat from this game to stave off the threat of the automatic relegation places. I don’t think they’ll push for a win here as it’s not necessary (although it’s beneficial) so I think they’d settle for a draw here. For me, an Omonia side with no motivation and missing their best striker hosting a side that will defend the goal with their lives says that this game will go under 2.5 goals, hence my selection today.

Team news – Omonia Nicosia miss Konstantinou for this game.

Verdict: Under 2.5 goals at evens.

Teplice vs Usti nad Labem – over 2.5 goals at 4/5.

Home advantage? Not anymore! Usti nad Labem have been ground-sharing with Teplice for all of the Gambrinus Liga thus far and now Usti nad Labem are no longer on the back foot in games like these. True enough, Teplice are the better side by some distance but with their defending lately, you wouldn’t know it! In fact, I don’t know if it’s just this stadium or what but neither of these two sides can defend at the moment – it’s like watching a yard full of school children at times! Teplice boast more options in attack and should probably win this game but I wouldn’t touch the 1×2 market between these two sides at the moment. One thing that does stand out to me here is backing over 2.5 goals though. Teplice drew 2-2 at Ceske Budejovice last match, demonstrating both their good side and their bad side all in one foul swoop, whereas Usti nad Labem were destroyed 0-3 by Sigma Olomouc last match. Usti nad Labem need points immediately if they’re to even attempt to beat the drop whereas Teplice are still on course for an unprecedented European place despite a bizarre season so both sides need the points here, realistically.

The two games that have been played between these two sides in recent times have both had at least two goals in them and with the above taken into consideration, I think there’s a good chance of this one going over 2.5 goals today.

Team news – Usti nad Labem miss Stozicky for this game.

Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at 4/5.

Liverpool vs Manchester United – both sides to score at 4/5.

As a United fan, I’m obviously hoping for a win at Anfield but I’m not stupid enough to expect it, knowing how highly-motivated Liverpool are to play against United.

However, for a change, there is a bet that appeals to me for this game and it’s backing both sides to score. Liverpool have been rushing to get Andy Carroll fit for this game all week because they know Vidic is suspended and thus Smalling is effectively on his own at the back. Smalling has been outstanding lately and is showing tremendous promise, in my view, but he cannot handle Suarez and Carroll by himself so I fear for United here. Ferdinand being absent is a blow but as I mentioned already, Smalling has deputised amazingly well for him so I’m more concerned with the suspended Vidic, to be honest. Hopefully Fergie will put Brown in the middle with Smalling but if he fields out-of-form Evans in this game then United will almost certainly concede against Liverpool’s budding attack duo.

Similarly, Liverpool’s defence is a bit of a mire at the moment wth a tedious West Ham side stuffing three past them in their last game thanks to a bad day at the office for returning defender Carragher and some strange goalkeeping from the usually reliable Reina. With Agger a doubt and Dalglish seeming to prefer a 3-5-2 to a 4-4-2, it seems reasonable to expect Liverpool to at least concede in this game, despite United’s fairly unpredictable away form. If Liverpool continue to not defend properly at full-back then Nani will tear them apart and thus United should score.

This should be a pretty entertaining game by all accounts and I’d advise refraining from the 1×2 market. However, backing both sides to score looks the logical call here so that’s what I’m going with today.

Team news – Liverpool miss Spearing, Kelly, and Shelvey whilst having doubts over Agger and Carroll whereas Manchester United miss Vidic, Ferdinand, Anderson, Hargreaves, Park, and Valencia whilst having doubts over Evans and Owen.

Verdict: Both sides to score at 4/5.

Olympique de Marseille vs LOSC Lille – both sides to score at 5/6.

This one speaks for itself, really. Lille attack well but often concede and Marseille struggle to find the net but defensive mistakes from Lille should alleviate that problem. Both sides need the points and both have talented attacking players so my call is both sides to score.

Team news – Olympique de Marseille miss Gignac, Rodriguez, Azpilicueta, and have doubts over Valbuena.

Verdict: Both sides to score at 5/6.

SC Freiburg vs Werder Bremen – home win at 7/5.

Although Freiburg rode their luck a little towards the end of their last home game against VfL Wolfsburg, they still deserved their three points due to their never-say-die attitude and prolific striker Cisse. They’ve now won seven out of twelve Bundesliga home games this season thanks to Cisse and strong defending so they deserve the respect that they’re finally being given, in my view. They regrettably miss important defender Mujdza for this game but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt because their home form is strong and because by contrast, Bremen miss a lot more players than they do!

Just look at Bremen’s absentee list – Naldo, Fritz, Boenisch, Hunt, Wesley etc. etc. all first-team players that Bremen sorely miss. They pulled off a bit of a shock last match by coming back from two down against Leverkusen to draw 2-2 but they’re still not in a great place with no leadership and no consistency in front of goal. They’ve lost two out of their last three away games, conceding eight goals along the way, and scoring just once during that run so you can see why I’m going against them today. It’s been a dire season for Bremen for varying reasons and seven defeats in twelve Bundesliga away games says that they’re likely to lose here too.

Approach with caution as we all know Bremen can occasionally randomly turn it on but for me, Freiburg are priced a little too long at 7/5 so my call is the home win.

Team news – SC Freiburg miss Pouplin, Mujdza, Hofler, Olle Olle, Schuster, Williams, and Bechmann whereas Werder Bremen miss Vander, Wiedwald, Andersen, Boenisch, Fritz, Naldo, Samuel, Schmidt, Hunt, Husejlnovic, Ikeng, Jensen, Kroos, Vranjes, Wesley, Ayik, Schindler, Testroet, and Thy.

Verdict: SC Freiburg to win at 7/5.

Olympiakos Piraeus vs Ergotelis – home win with -1.5 handicap at 4/5.

Olympiakos – well, you all know how good they are in the Super League. They’ve been the best side in Greece this year by a mile and they’re going to win the Super League, to be blunt. Don’t be put off by their draw at lowly Panionios last match as it’s widely whispered that this game was fixed due to the two clubs being on friendly terms and Panionios needing the points. I fully expect to see the real Olympiakos today and they’ve got a good opponent to unleash it upon too. Ergotelis can be a tricky customer but they have a big problem with a lack of depth and that problem is made into a huge problem given that they’re missing three of their regular midfielders, including the essential Beto. Ergotelis cannot possibly hope to get a result here with so many important players missing so I fully expect them to lose this game convincingly, just as they did earlier this season against Olympiakos at home, losing 0-2 in that game.

Team news – Olympiakos Piraeus miss Riera, Torosidis, Bravo, Meyer, N. Papadopoulos, and G. Papadopoulos whereas Ergotelis miss Beto, Oliseh, Orfanos, Kavousakis, and Kandilakas.

Verdict: Olympiakos Piraeus to beat the -1.5 goal handicap at 4/5.

Udinese vs Bari – home win with -1.5 handicap at 5/6.

Again, this is another one that speaks for itself. Sanchez and Di Natale look untouchable in attack and although I’d steer people away from the inevitably larger handicaps that they have in mind, I do think Udine can break the -1.5 goal handicap here. It’s usually the law of averages that dictates that a side will score lesser goals than expected after scoring more than expected in a previous game so Udine’s 0-7 win at Palermo may backfire on them here. Nonetheless, Udine have been in terrific form this season and the odds are good enough to take a chance on here so backing Udine -1.5 is a good choice here, in my view. Bari’s speciality is defending but they’re no longer in a position whereby they can do that as they need points rapidly so Udine should be able to beat them by at least two goals today, especially with Bari missing most of their attackers again.

Team news – Udinese miss Basta and Ferronetti whereas Bari miss Raggi, Barreto, and Masiello whilst having doubts over Kutuzov, Rudolf, Alvarez, and Bentivoglio.

Verdict: Udinese to beat the -1.5 goal handicap at 5/6.

Chievo Verona vs Parma – both sides to score at 10/11.

Counter-attacking Chievo versus Parma’s golden attack? This game must surely have goals in it! Chievo have disappointed of late as they’ve not been scoring as many goals but they’re still dangerous on the break and that should be visible today against a shoddy Parma defence. However, Parma themselves pose a great threat in front of goal and they impressed me a lot during their 2-2 draw with Roma, a game that I personally thought they were a little unlucky not to win. The class of Amauri is starting to shine through and with him, Bojinov, or the experienced Crespo in their arsenal, not to mention promising attacker Giovinco, it’s hard to envision Parma not scoring here too. For me, both sides will score in this game and thus that’s my selection for this game at 10/11, especially with Parma missing defender Paci and Chievo missing holding midfielder Fernandes.

Team news – Chievo Verona miss Gelson Fernandes and Luciano whereas Parma miss Paci, Angelo, Calvo, and Marques whilst having doubts over Giovinco.

Verdict: Both sides to score at 10/11.

Athletic Club de Bilbao vs Sevilla CF – over 2.5 goals at 4/5.

I love Bilbao but they’ve gone off the rails lately with four consecutive defeats. They’re still scoring their necessary quota of goals but their defence is suffering from the eternally-changing centre-back pairings. All this has come about because of San Jose and Amorebieta’s budding partnership being split up via injuries and suspensions so youngster Ekiza has had his chance instead of Ustaritz as Ocio has been injured and although it’s worked sometimes, it’s eventually come back to hurt Bilbao. Bilbao missed Iraola a lot against Valencia last match and it showed as Valencia eventually scored from a position that I feel Iraola would have had covered. Confidence is getting a bit low in the Bilbao camp though; they threw away a lead at Zaragoza earlier this week to lose 2-1 so expect them to concede more today. They have a virtually full-strength side to choose from but a demoralised Bilbao side will always concede goals, even against a defensive Sevilla side, so I think there’s a good chance of over 2.5 goals here. Bilbao’s weak area has long been left-back and Navas should have a lot of joy there for the Andaluscians. Sevilla’s counter-attacks should work well here although the continued absence of Dragutinovic at the back means that Llorente should be able to do as he wishes in this game, hence me finding it very likely that Bilbao will score. With the above in mind, it also seems realistic to expect Manzano’s Sevilla to score here too, despite their highly likely defensive approach.

Bilbao have gone over 2.5 goals in three out of their last four games and seven out of the last eight head-to-head games between these two sides have gone over 2.5 goals so my call is over 2.5 goals here!

Team news – Athletic Club de Bilbao miss Balenziaga whereas Sevilla CF miss Dragutinovic.

Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at 4/5.

Racing Santander vs Real Madrid – both sides to score at 5/6.

Santander are on fire under Marcelino as I’ve mentioned before and it’ll take a braver man than me to go against them. They’re a really solid unit defensively, Santander, and they’ve got tremendous momentum following a lengthy run without defeat. Santander were unlucky not to beat Villarreal at home lately so Mourinho will know what he’s up against tonight. Defence hasn’t been Madrid’s strongpoint this season so I do fancy Santander to steal a goal from somewhere, especially if the ever-unreliable Pepe is playing. However, with Madrid’s class advantage, you have to favour them to score here too. I was highly tempted to lay Madrid when I saw that Ronaldo wasn’t playing as he still carries them even now at times but I left it in favour of both sides scoring here. Madrid should have enough firepower to break a stiff Santander resolve but the hosts have enough belief and tenacity to score against a dodgy Madrid defence so my call is for both sides to score here although it’s gotta be worth a few quid to put an anytime scorer bet on Munitis or Canales to score against their respective old clubs.

Team news – Racing Santander miss Tziolis, Serrano, Henrique, Cisma, Arana, and Adrian whereas Real Madrid miss Ronaldo.

Verdict: Both sides to score at 5/6.

Alcorcon vs Celta de Vigo – home win with draw no bet at evens.

I can’t go against Alcorcon now after going with them for so long! They’ve been absolutely fantastic in the second half of their campaign, especially so at home, so pricing them at 15/8 to win this game outright looks insane to me.

They’ve won ten out of fourteen Segunda Liga home games and average scoring over two goals per home game so they do need to be taken seriously here. Hell, no other Segunda Liga side has won more home games than they have this season despite it being their maiden voyage in the Segunda Liga so show some respect for little Alcorcon from Madrid! They’ve won all five of their home games in 2011 despite facing Real Valladolid and Recreativo de Huelva on the way. They battered Salamanca 4-0 last match and appear to be going from strength to strength and although they’re missing important defender Nagore for this game, I still think they’ll give Celta a really tough game today.

Celta are the better of these two sides but I still don’t agree with the odds that the bookies have given them as this really isn’t an easy game, especially on the back of a demoralising 1-2 defeat at home against Huesca mid-week. Celta play possession football and they’re good at it, to their credit – sides find it hard to score against them in general. However, an absent Hugo Mallo in defence today and Joan Tomas in attack leave two big holes, especially the former, so Celta aren’t really in the best of shape at the moment in terms of winning this game. They’ve been highly impressive on the road this season and have only lost once during their fourteen away games so they also need to be respected here.

However, given how well Alcorcon are playing at the moment and how many goals that they score on their own turf, I can’t help but take a slice of Alcorcon to win this game with draw no bet cover at evens, especially with Celta’s poor mid-week display and important absentees today.

Team news – Alcorcon miss Nagore whereas Celta de Vigo miss Hugo Mallo and Joan Tomas.

Verdict: Alcorcon to win with draw no bet at evens.

Eskisehirspor vs Bucaspor – home win at 4/5.

I’m a bit nervous about Batuhan missing this game as he’s been a revelation for Eskisehirspor in attack this season so I’d leave this game if the odds drop. However, Eskisehirspor have been very strong at home, especially in defence, and they’ve beaten better sides than Bucaspor so I have to give them a shot here. Bucaspor are defending like idiots at the moment, conceding goals wherever they play and against whoever they play. They’ve shipped eight goals in their last five games, losing four of those games and generally playing poorly. They look destined to make an early exit from Super Lig life and with a tough trip to Eskisehirspor looming ahead today, I don’t see their fortunes improving much. Eskisehirspor will have to work hard in the absence of their target man but with a midfield containing Tello and Zengin, there should be enough creativity for the hosts to win this game 1-0 or 2-0, in my view.

Team news – Eskisehirspor miss Batuhan.

Verdict: Eskisehirspor to win at 4/5.

Besiktas JK vs Trabzonspor – over 2.5 goals at 4/5.

Two attacking sides that can’t defend for shit at the moment = over 2.5 goals in my book. Besiktas have finally recaptured some form lately and Trabzonspor are imposing themselves well too so in a game that both sides could really do with winning, I think over 2.5 goals is very likely here, especially so many talented attacking individuals on the field of play.

Team news – Besiktas JK miss Ersan and Ferrari.

Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at 4/5.
