TFT Issue 388!
FreeHowdy guys and girls!
Please accept my apologies for the brief update today but I’m genuinely absolutely shattered from yesterday’s mammoth update! Feel free to ask any questions and I’m sure that I’ll be able to answer them through the day when I feel slightly more alive!
Featured game
Djurgarden vs Orebro – over 2.5 goals at evens.
Djurgarden are the better side but the odds are too short here. Orebro are capable of springing a surprise, although they’ve not shown it yet. Djurgarden believe in themselves more and possess a better quality of player so I do fancy them here. However, Djurgarden are conceding too many stupid goals and if there’s one thing that Orebro can do then it’s score goals. For me, this game is going over 2.5 goals.
Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at evens.
Additional games
Mjallby Solvesborg vs Malmo FF – over 2.5 goals at evens.
I’m starting to believe in Malmo more now as time goes by but I won’t risk taking them to win in Solvesborg as that’s a really tough game. They’re definitely good enough to do it but I’m going to avoid the 1×2 market today because of the difficulty of the fixture. Malmo are oozing goals right now though and star striker Ranegie returns to the starting eleven so I fancy them to trouble Mjallby’s ageing defence today. Mjallby are capable of scoring against Malmo too, helpfully, but I expect this game to go over 2.5 goals either with or without their input.
Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at evens.
Besiktas JK vs Fenerbahce – over 2.5 goals at 10/11.
I saw these two sides meet a few days ago in the reversal of this fixture and although Fenerbahce were clearly the better side, Besiktas troubled them with almost every counter-attack. Fenerbahce will have taken great spirit from Trabzonspor holding Galatasaray to a draw yesterday and should really win the game. However, I do think Fenerbahce will concede as well as score here so rather than get stung on the 1×2 market (as we did with Galatasaray yesterday) I’d much rather opt for over 2.5 goals today.
Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at 10/11.
Bursaspor vs Eskisehirspor – over 2.5 goals evens.
What can I say? Two goalscoring sides that have come into their own since the play-offs began. Bursaspor have looked especially potent but both sides are doing more than enough in front of goal to send this game over 2.5 goals.
Verdict: Over 2.5 goals at evens.
