TFT Issue 244!
FreeHowdy guys and girls!
Computer keeps crashing when I try to do the update so the update is brief – hopefully team news will be posted by the helpful guys/girls that do it but if not then I’ll try to update it myself later on sunday when my computer is less temperamental.
Featured game
Sporting Braga vs SL Benfica – away win at 11/10.
Better side, basically. Braga were a solid unit last season but since their manager left they’ve looked a lot more ordinary. Benfica have a whole host of flair players and more than enough firepower to win this one and the odds look generous too.
Verdict: SL Benfica to win at 11/10.
Additional games
Skive vs Randers – away win with -1 Asian Handicap at 9/10.
Randers haven’t impressed in front of goal this season despite being a top side in Denmark’s Division 1 but I expect that to change today. I like Skive a lot but they have no concept of how to defend and it really should show against a vastly superior Randers side.
Verdict: Randers to beat the -1 Asian Handicap at 9/10.
AZ Alkmaar vs ADO Den Haag – home win with -1.5 handicap at 4/5.
Again – better side. ADO Den Haag have been crap since van der Brom left to coach Vitesse Arnhem and AZ are virtually untouchable at home. For me, the -1.5 handicap is well worth a shot here as AZ should have way too much for their opponents.
Verdict: AZ Alkmaar to beat the -1.5 handicap at 4/5.
Metalist Kharkiv vs Dynamo Kiev – home win with draw no bet at 4/5.
Dynamo Kiev at known in Ukraine for their solid defence rather than their attack nowadays. Only Shevchenko is scoring regularly and it’s going to be even harder for them today with Yarmolenko and Milevskiy both suspended. Kharkiv is a very hard place to go nowadays and with attacking options restricted for the visitors, the minimum I see the hosts leaving with is a draw and given the weak displays of Dynamo lately, taking the home win with draw no bet interests me here.
Verdict: Metalist Kharkiv to win with draw no bet at 4/5.
