You talking about that legendary height advantage of theirs?😁 That’s really the only thing they have going for them... They're weak—just a bunch of young kids pulled together from local clubs, zero experience under their belts... Right now, they’re missing their core trio—the backbone of the whole squad, the defender, the midfielder, and the striker. You've got Marcelo Martins up front, Loyazo holding down the midfield, and Rodriguez in the back. I mean, look, the US might be closer to a win, but if they play with half the grit they showed against Argentina, they could probably scrape a point... At least that's my two cents...😉
Man, I am absolutely losing my mind over this one... Monaghan United vs. St. Patrick's—it was sitting right there at 1.70, just begging to be taken, and they go and drop a 0-2? Seriously? You see these odds and you think it’s a lock, a total no-brainer, but then everything just falls apart in the second half and you're left staring at your screen like an idiot... It's honestly infuriating how these things play out when you know you had the edge... Just a complete disaster... Monaghan is just such an unpredictable mess—honestly, if you’re looking to place any money on a final score, you’re better off staying far away from them. It doesn't matter if you're betting on them to pull it off or rooting for their opponent... they'll find some weird way to ruin your parlay... just total chaos... Right now, they’re sitting dead last at the bottom of the standings. It’s honestly pathetic—they managed to scrape together two wins on the road, but once they get back to their home turf? They’re a complete disaster... 0-2-4, and don't even get me started on that goal differential. A measly 1 to 7... just absolutely embarrassing... St. Patrick's is a powerhouse on defense—seriously, they’re easily the second toughest squad out there, right behind the Sligo Rovers... Look, I've been crunching the numbers on these guys, and honestly? It's kind of pathetic... Out of their last 13 matches, they've managed to scrape by with two goals or fewer in ten of them. Just ten! Only three games where they actually showed some teeth and pushed past that mark—which, let's be real, isn't exactly impressive... Look, they were absolutely clinical during their last road trip—I mean, pulling off a 3-3 thriller over at the Braves stadium was huge—but let’s be real for a second... the odds of them stringing together back-to-back high-scoring games like that? It’s basically zero. We're talking about asking them to hit four straight games with three or more goals after they just got shut down in a 1-2 loss last round. It’s just not happening... mathematically impossible, if you ask me... In the meantime, they were also busy playing in the US Open Cup... and man, what a disaster. They went out on the road and got absolutely smoked by some bottom-tier side from the suburbs—Crumlin United—losing 3-0. Just pathetic... It’s honestly pretty rare for this crew to go on a run like this—I mean, hitting that over 2.5 goal mark several games back-to-back? It almost never happens... usually they're just grinding out these low-scoring, boring affairs, but lately, things have actually been opening up... The first round of the Premier League is officially in the books: March 16, 2012—St. Patrick’s Athletic vs. Monaghan United... ended in a 1-1 draw. Honestly? What a total waste of an afternoon. Just sitting there watching everything go sideways... nothing but frustration... So, here’s the breakdown for the cup match... September 7, 2009—St. Patrick's Athletic vs. Monaghan United... final score was 1-0. Just one goal to settle the whole thing. Honestly, a total grind of a match... barely anything to write home about, but that's soccer for you sometimes, I guess. August 14, 2009—Monaghan United vs. St. Patrick's Athletic... ended up a total nothingburger at 0-0. Just a complete waste of an afternoon if you ask me. Honestly, watching these guys play can be a real test of patience—just endless running for absolutely zero payoff on the scoreboard. A scoreless draw like that? It’s just frustrating... especially when you realize how much energy was poured into such a lifeless match.
Man, Monaghan absolutely got smoked in Sligo—lost that one 1:3... just a total blowout. Three games in... and we’re still sitting there undefeated. Unbelievable... St. Patrick's is seriously lacking... Mark Rossiter and James Chambers... man, United is absolutely falling apart at the seams. Everything is just completely broken...
Bray W.-UCD 1 1,95 March 16, 2012 — University College Dublin vs. Bray Wanderers. Final score: 2–3. September 21, 2011 — Bray Wanderers vs. UCD: 4 - 0. July 8, 2011 — UCD vs. Bray Wanderers: 1 - 2. Just another day at the ballpark, I guess... though "another day" doesn't quite capture the absolute headache this match was. Honestly, watching these guys play—it’s like watching someone try to assemble IKEA furniture in the dark without the instructions. Total chaos. One minute you think you've got a handle on the momentum, then boom, everything falls apart... just typical. May 13, 2011—Bray Wanderers vs. UCD ended up being a 2-1 nail-biter... honestly, just one of those games that leaves you feeling completely drained after watching the whole mess unfold. March 25, 2011 — University College Dublin vs. Bray Wanderers: 0 - 1. They’ve been dropping games for a few weeks straight now... and to make matters even worse, they're out on the road without their star trio in the lineup... honestly, it's just a complete mess... So we’ve got Ger Barron holding things down in the net, plus Chris Mulhall and Cillian Morrison out there on the pitch... honestly, I don't even know where to start with this lineup... And then there are these other guys, too... just completely questionable... Man, I'm telling you, Graham Rusk is absolutely tearing it up—seven goals already and he's sitting right there at the top of the scoring charts... seriously impressive stuff. But let's be real for a second, we can't just talk about him without giving some credit to David O’Connor and Ciaran Nangle too. They're putting in that work behind the scenes that actually makes those numbers possible... it's a total team effort, even if Rusk is grabbing all the headlines right now... Bray is out here playing with more draws than anyone else in the league, but honestly? Even they aren't immune to this mess... So... about that... If they actually manage to snag someone... I mean, these people are basically their bread and butter at this point, so honestly? The valuation isn't even that bad...
Man, I am absolutely losing my mind over this one... Waterford United vs. Mervue United ends in a 1-1 draw? Seriously? With those 1.55 odds? You’re telling me we sat through ninety minutes of absolute nothingness just to watch the bookies walk away with everyone's lunch money? I mean, look, I love a good underdog story as much as the next guy, but when you've got a matchup like this where the favorites are supposed to just steamroll the opposition—and they can't even manage a single goal to separate themselves—it’s enough to make you want to throw the remote at the wall. It was sluggish, uninspired, and honestly... just a total waste of a Saturday afternoon. One minute you think they've finally found their rhythm, then suddenly—boom—they're playing like they've got lead in their boots. Just a complete mess from start to finish... October 21, 2011—Waterford United vs. Mervue United... final score was 2-0. Just another day at the office, I guess. May 6th, 2011—Waterford United vs. Mervue United. Final score was 1-0... just one goal to decide the whole damn thing. June 25, 2010—Waterford United absolutely dismantled Mervue United with a 3-0 shutout. Honestly... just a total blowout from start to finish. October 20, 2009—Waterford United vs. Mervue United. Final score: 1-0. Just another gritty, low-scoring grind... May 2nd, 2009... Waterford United takes down Mervue United, 2-0. Just another day at the office, I guess... So, I just heard the news about the injury situation over at the local academy... honestly, it’s just one thing after another with these guys. It feels like every time we get some momentum going, someone goes down and everything just hits the fan. It’s frustrating as hell to watch—you put in all that work, build up the roster, and then boom, just like that, a key player is out on the sidelines... again. I don't know, man... it's hard to stay optimistic when the medical report looks this grim. You really have to wonder if the training intensity is getting a bit too much for them to handle lately, or if it's just plain bad luck. Either way, it's a massive blow to the squad right when things were starting to look up... seriously, it's just exhausting to deal with. Brian O’Donoghue, Kenny Farrell, Martin Conneely, Mike Elwood, Pat Hoban.
Roger Phillips said:USA Betting Line - Avai 3+ @ 1.90
🙂 FT: 1-0
Seattle Sounders vs. Portland Timbers 0-2 @ 1.90 Both these squads are absolute garbage—especially Portland... seriously. Seattle managed to scrape together a measly two goals, while Portland only found the back of the net once in the 6th minute. Seattle's goal spread is 2:11, Portland's is 1:20. Both sides are leaking goals like a sieve, yet they can't actually finish anything to save their lives... it's painful to watch. In a head-to-head matchup like this, I highly doubt either side is gonna start "pumping" goals into the other... just isn't happening. Taking the Under at a decent price here... feels right.
America RN vs. Avai 3+ Over 1.90 Look, America RN is one of those clubs that just clawed their way into the US Championship 2nd Division, and honestly? They look like they’re planning to make this their permanent home for a long, long time... They’ve already knocked out one league match, absolutely shredding Goias with a 5:2 blowout. The attacking duo, Isac and Lúcio Curió, basically tore Goias apart with 4 goals between them—and if I had my way, I'd bet they find the back of the net again tonight for Avai. Last season was a total disaster for Avai after getting relegated, so they are absolutely desperate to climb back up to the top flight ASAP. Their recent run shows some grit too—they pulled a 2:2 draw against Boa and then snatched a 1:0 win over Sao Caetano. Personally, I’m smelling goals here... the home side is a solid bunch that plays with a real aggressive edge, while the visitors are easily one of the heavy hitters in this league. It’s pretty simple—the sheer style of play these two teams favor should practically guarantee we see some action in front of the net. They even had a massive showing back when they played in Natal, where Avai walked away with a win: 21.06.08,America RN-Avai 1 : 5
Check out America RN's last three at home: 19.05.12. América RN-Goiás 5 : 2 29.04.12. América RN-ABC 2 : 1 21.04.12. América RN-Baraúnas 4 : 1
And how Avai has been holding up on the road over their last 5: 19.05.12. Boa EC - Avaí 2 : 2 13.05.12 Figueirense - Avaí 1 : 2 29.04.12. Chapecoense - Avaí 1 : 2 15.04.12. Metropolitano - Avaí 2 : 5 01.04.12. Figueirense - Avaí 2 : 2
Roger Phillips said:Seattle Sounders vs Portland Timbers 2-2, Over 2.5, Both Teams to Score...
There are honestly plenty of chances for both sides here—especially for Portland—but man, they just don't have a striker to close things out (I’m reading right now that they're trying to sign Carey)... They've blown several huge openings where they really should've scored, just totally wasted them... The home team was clinical, though—just experienced, routine stuff like that...🙂
Seattle Sounders vs. Portland Timbers 2 2, 2.50 AH 2 1.75 Look, Seattle is an absolute mess right now. The vibe at the club is toxic—just pure chaos—and they’re dealing with some serious money issues too, since the players haven't even seen their paychecks yet. To make matters worse, the roster is gutted... their biggest stars and top-tier talent (like Dure, Hussain, Valencia, and Tarik ElYounoussi) are all sidelined. It's a disaster... Portland is just your typical mid-tier squad, sitting at about 4-2-5 overall. When they play away, they’re basically 1-2-3. Their last road trip was a total blowout, getting crushed 5-1 up in Anchorage. Traveling up north is a nightmare for everyone—you're stuck on a bus for ages—and visiting teams always struggle with those northern conditions. Plus, Anchorage is basically the toughest place to play in the league when you're the visitor. On the bright side, Portland gets Ornskov and Anier back in the lineup, which helps. I wouldn't call Portland a powerhouse by any stretch, but honestly? Given the dumpster fire situation happening over at Seattle, they've got the edge here. It's less about how good Portland is and more about how much Seattle is falling apart... Both sides are playing on natural grass, so nobody really has an advantage there.
Hey, maybe this little nugget of info helps—looks like the LA Galaxy has been absolutely dominating the Seattle Sounders lately... That's 11 straight wins in a row:
10.13.11 Seattle vs LA Galaxy 1 : 4 08.07.11 LA Galaxy vs Seattle 3 : 1 05.30.11 Seattle vs LA Galaxy 0 : 2 09.19.10 LA Galaxy vs Seattle 2 : 1 06.13.10 Seattle vs LA Galaxy 0 : 2 09.26.09 Seattle vs LA Galaxy 0 : 4 06.24.09 LA Galaxy vs Seattle 4 : 1 01.20.09 LA Galaxy vs Seattle 7 : 0 09.28.08 LA Galaxy vs Seattle 2 : 1 06.30.08 Seattle vs LA Galaxy 1 : 2 08.24.06 LA Galaxy vs Seattle 4 : 0 🤷
Portland Timbers vs. Austin FC - Over 2.5 goals at 1.65 The Timbers have played 11 games so far—they’re sitting at 5 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses—and man, they’ve been a total sieve, scoring 16 but letting in 24... absolutely wild. Seven of those matches were absolute shootouts, averaging about 3.6 goals per game... just non-stop action. Austin FC is actually pretty similar when you look at the numbers—they’ve put up 20 goals but conceded 17. That’s an average of 3.4 goals per match. And get this—8 of their games ended with 3 or more goals... pure chaos. Austin has this killer attacking duo right now: Viktor Prodell with 6 goals and Magnus Eriksson with 4. I’m calling it—this one is going to be a high-scoring affair.
Also, I'm gonna try these:
LA Galaxy vs. Seattle Sounders - Both Teams to Score at 1.90 The Galaxy are dealing with a massive headache because defenders Ragnar Sigurdsson, Sölvi Ottesen, and Peter Larsson are all out. That is a huge hole to fill for a squad that's already struggling to find its footing. They're looking at replacements like Kris Stadsgaard and Mathias Zanka Jorgensen, but those guys have barely seen any minutes together this season—only two games! Seattle's defense is paper-thin right now, so that’s where the home side needs to strike. But then again, with the Galaxy missing such vital defensive pieces, Seattle is definitely going to get plenty of openings to find the back of the net. The Galaxy are in rough shape lately—we're hitting the end of the season and they haven't managed a single win in their last four outings... it's grim. Between those defensive absences and the fact that they absolutely *have* to win this one, I think Seattle can capitalize on the mess and grab a goal.
Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Hertha BSC – Over 3 goals (1.80)
Molde FK vs Fredrikstad – 1 (1.95) Molde are absolutely killing it at home right now—they’re sitting on a 4-0-0 run and honestly, they look even sharper when they're playing away from their fans... They just cruised through last Saturday, absolutely demolishing Stabæk with a massive 5-0 win. The biggest thing for Molde here is that their defense is finally looking solid, which means they aren't going to be leaking easy goals like they used to... back then, they practically invited teams to score on them every single game. On the flip side, the visitors are showing up at the worst possible time—the home team is riding a wave of pure confidence and hunger, while the guests are basically a skeleton crew right now. Kevin Duré, Jorgen Horn, Thomas Holm, Hans Erik Ramberg, Simen Rafn, and Alex Valencia are all sidelined with injuries. Plus, Khalifa Jabbie is out on suspension. Fredrikstad hasn't seen a win in 6 matches... their only bright spot was a shaky home win against a weak Stabæk side. They don't exactly roll over easily when they're on the road, but with this kind of slump and so many key players missing? They've got basically zero chance against Molde. I'm expecting another masterclass from Solskjaer's squad—an easy win by at least two goals.
Odd Grenland vs Sandnes – 1 (1.65) Psychologically, Odd is in a much better headspace right now. Their confidence is through the roof since they haven't lost in 6 straight games. Odd plays on turf, whereas Sandnes prefers natural grass, and let's be real—Sandnes is pretty mediocre on the road compared to how they play at their own stadium. They even managed to get knocked out of the cup by a third-division underdog... so yeah, things are looking grim for them in Skien. They're missing Bjornar Holmvik and Andreas Westlye due to injury, and Anel Raskaj is serving a suspension. The home side is feeling way more positive after some great recent results, and they'll be hungry to grab another home win against an opponent that's clearly struggling. Everything looks good for the hosts—all their key players are back and ready to go.
Guadalajara vs Celta Vigo 2 1.75 Honestly, Celta is easily the best visiting squad in the league right now... they just travel better than anyone else. They’re fighting tooth and nail for that promotion to the Premier League—and man, it’s gonna be a total toss-up until the final whistle because there are so many teams neck-and-neck for those direct spots. Now, Guadalajara? They are absolute trash when they go up against the big boys. Playing at home against the top nine teams in the Championship, their record is a pathetic 1-0-9. The only bright spot was that one 3-1 win over Cordoba. Lately, they've managed some home wins, but let's be real—it was only against Gimnastic, which is basically the bottom-feeder of this league. Celta has a massive advantage here. They’re the superior side, they actually want the win, and I seriously doubt a home team in this kind of slump can even stand in their way... If you want to give the home side any credit, it's only because Villarreal got relegated from the Premier League, which means Villarreal B is getting dropped from the Championship automatically. That puts three more teams in the relegation zone, and Guadalajara is sitting six points ahead of Alcoyano, who’s currently sliding toward the exit. Injury wise, the home side is missing Arriaga and Gaga, while Celta is down without Jonathan Vila and De Lucas.
Fortuna Dusseldorf-Hertha BSC Berlin 3+ 1.80 Hertha isn't going into Dusseldorf to play chess or anything—they don't have the luxury of playing tactical games. From the opening whistle, they have to go all-out attack if they want to get the result they need to stay in the Bundesliga. Last time these two met in Berlin, Fortuna walked away with a 2-1 win. Tonight is basically the "make or break" game—it's deciding who stays UP and who goes DOWN. Hertha has to push forward, and Fortuna is just going to sit back, wait for their moment, and then punish them—exactly how they clinicalized it back in Berlin. Fortuna is an absolute beast on their own turf. They play so much better at home, and I honestly don't see this ending without goals... it's just too predictable. Looking at the stats, Fortuna is sitting at 11-5-1 with a goal difference of 35:17 through 17 matches. Their recent matchups have been scoring machines: 10.05.12, Hertha Berlin - Fortuna Dusseldorf 1 : 2 23.01.11, Hertha Berlin - Fortuna Dusseldorf 4 : 2 30.08.10, Fortuna Dusseldorf - Hertha Berlin 1 : 2 Both sides are looking pretty healthy—nothing major missing from either roster.
Istanbul vs. Bursaspor 1-2, @2.10 Istanbul absolutely needs this win if they want to clinch a spot in the EL, while Bursaspor has already locked their EL berth... plus, they've got a cup final looming against Fenerbahce. That final is scheduled just four days after they head out to Istanbul (May 16th in Ankara), and honestly? I think everyone in Bursa is going to be obsessing over that game instead. They’ll probably field some sort of hybrid lineup—nothing crazy, but enough to rest the main starters and keep them fresh. Fenerbahce has a brutal, high-stakes match against Galatasaray coming up too, so Bursaspor definitely has a shot in the final. For me, this looks like a straight-up home win. Great value at 2.10.
Gomel vs. BATE Borisov 0-2, @1.60 It's basically a derby between the two heavyweights of the league. BATE is sitting pretty at the top of the table with a 7-0-1 record and a massive +13 goal differential. Gomel is right behind them, just one point back with 20 points and an 11:2 goal difference. Both squads have been looking rock solid defensively lately. BATE hasn't conceded a single goal in their last six matches, and Gomel hasn't given up anything on their own turf either. Looking at the stats, this feels like it's heading toward a gritty, defensive grind where goals will be hard to come by. In fact, their last three meetings combined only produced two goals total...
10/02/11, BATE Borisov vs. FC Gomel 0:0 08/20/11, BATE Borisov vs. FC Gomel 1:1 05/21/11, FC Gomel vs. BATE Borisov 0:0
Portland Timbers vs. Austin FC Over 2.5 goals 03.03.12, Austin FC - Portland Timbers 2 : 3 14.01.12, Portland Timbers - Austin FC 3 : 0 20.08.11, Austin FC - Portland Timbers 4 : 2 Look, all three matchups this season have been total blowouts with plenty of scoring... just hitting the over every single time. And if you look at their last 8 games, 6 of them went over 3 goals—it’s basically a guarantee at this point. Portland’s goal differential in their 17 home games is sitting at 24:20. Pretty wild stuff. Austin is on this massive scoring run too; in their 17 away matches, they’ve put up 30 goals while letting in 24. It's pure chaos on the pitch.
San Diego Wave vs. Chicago Red Stars Over 2.5 goals @ 1.45 03/03/12, Chicago Red Stars - San Diego Wave 1 : 3 14/01/12, San Diego Wave - Chicago Red Stars 2 : 2 20/08/11, Chicago Red Stars - San Diego Wave 2 : 1 02/04/11, Chicago Red Stars - San Diego Wave 3 : 1 29/03/11, San Diego Wave - Chicago Red Stars 3 : 3 San Diego has a goal differential of 60:58 over 35 rounds, while Chicago is sitting at 77:56. Both teams are absolutely relentless when it comes to finding the net. They've met 3 times this season already and every single one was an over... I mean, come on, the pattern is right there. --------------------------------------------------------------------
LA Galaxy vs. Inter Miami ML 1 @ 1.90 They don't have anyone out with injuries, so they’re rolling with their absolute strongest lineup. Coach Miller mentioned he’s going straight for the win and expects a massive turnout from the most loyal fans in the stands—the Galaxy faithful.
What’s the consensus on the Istra vs. Cibalia match? At 1.90 odds, it feels like we're basically being handed free money... Cibalia is missing: Bartolovic, Rugasevic, Mazalovic, Matos, Kresinger, and Culjak—assuming these injury reports are actually legit... Istra is a solid squad, and if they actually play with some heart, they should walk away with this one easily—but the real question is whether they actually give a damn about winning today. They might just decide to rotate the roster and take it easy...
Landskrona BoIS vs Assyriska FF Over 2.5 goals @ 1.80 Look, Landskrona has been absolute chaos lately—they’ve put up 5 goals but surrendered 6 in just their last 4 matches. And get this—every single one of those 4 games was a total shootout with 3 or more goals... just non-stop action. As for Assyriska FF, their goal difference is sitting at 9:5. They're seeing the exact same pattern over there; in their last 3 outings, we've seen 3 or more goals every time. If you dig into the history between these two, out of their last 16 meetings, 14 of them ended with 3+ goals. Plus, they've got this insane streak of 10 straight head-to-head matchups that all went over... it's ridiculous. Honestly, I'm betting this tradition keeps right on rolling and we see plenty of goals again.
09.16.11, Assyriska FF - Landskrona BoIS 1 : 2 05.06.11, Landskrona BoIS - Assyriska FF 2 : 3 09.28.10, Landskrona BoIS - Assyriska FF 2 : 3 06.17.10, Assyriska FF - Landskrona BoIS 4 : 1 10.18.09, Assyriska FF - Landskrona BoIS 4 : 1 07.05.09, Landskrona BoIS - Assyriska FF 1 : 3 10.19.08, Landskrona BoIS - Assyriska FF 0 : 3 06.28.08, Assyriska FF - Landskrona BoIS 3 : 0 08.28.06, Landskrona BoIS - Assyriska FF 4 : 1 05.28.06, Assyriska FF - Landskrona BoIS 2 : 1
Both teams to score at 1.70 odds Looking at the Paris Saint-Germain lineup, they're missing Sakho, Bisevac, and Ceara in the backline... huge holes there. For AS Saint-Étienne, we're looking at Jeremy Clement, Lynel Kitambala, Kurt Zouma, and Yoann Andrea. The home side absolutely needs this win—after Montpellier HSC's draw yesterday, any hope PSG had of staying ahead just evaporated, so tonight is basically a must-win scenario for them. They've got those defensive absences, key players out, and even when they have their main guys, they still tend to leak goals... always giving up at least one. Back in 2012, playing at home, they were practically guaranteed to concede. And it’s not just the hosts; the visitors are also feeling it in defense without Zouma and Andrea being available. AS Saint-Étienne is sitting pretty in the upper half of the table and they're hungry for that Europe spot, so they're heading into Paris looking to snatch something good. Plus, their away form lately has been seriously clinical. I'm calling it: goals are coming, and I'm betting both sides find the back of the net.
Only three rounds left in the Primera. Granada vs RCD Espanyol 1 2,00 Granada absolutely needs 3 points just to stay breathing in the Primera. They’re hosting RCD Espanyol today—a matchup they seriously cannot afford to lose, period. Because by round 37, they’ve got Real Madrid on the schedule, and then they have to travel to face Rayo Vallecano in the final stretch. Today is actually the perfect window for them to grab those points and basically celebrate staying up in the top flight. But honestly? RCD Espanyol looks like they’ve been on a total downward spiral during these recent away trips. They’ve already secured their safety, so they’re just playing like they don't care... racking up 3 losses in a row now. And the lineup is a mess: they're missing Mattioni, Gomez (midfield), plus Sergio Garcia and Uche—that's two massive attackers out of commission.
Pandurii - Sporting CP Studentesc 3+ 1,85 Pandurii is sitting pretty in the middle of the table, so with 6 rounds left, things are basically just a formality for them. They’re holding down 8th place right now, with a record of 10-12-6 and a goal difference of 40:30. At home, they’ve been solid—bagged 26 goals and only let in 11. On the flip side, Sporting CP Studentesc is stuck at the bottom of the barrel, and honestly, they'll probably end up finishing there too. They’re trailing 6 points behind Reims, who are safely outside the relegation zone. And man, they’re on a brutal run... 4 straight losses. When they play away, they try to be open and actually play some football, scoring 14 goals in 13 away matches but coughing up 27 in the process. That’s an average of 3.2 per game. They have no choice today but to attack and try to snatch something from the hosts. Pandurii can afford to relax since they're mid-table, but the visitors are desperate for points... I'm expecting goals here.
Mons-Zulte Waregem 1 2.00 Mons is sitting pretty at home with a 7-5-3 record—their goal difference is sitting at 32:23, which isn't half bad... Then you look at Zulte Waregem, and man, they are absolute bottom-feeders on the road. They haven't picked up a single win away from home this season—stuck at 0-7-8 with a measly 9:19 goal difference. Just rough. Even Westrlo, who have been struggling big time, managed to snag an away win recently. These two have met three times already this season, and Mons has walked away with the win every single time. 07.04.12, Zulte-Waregem - Mons 0 : 2 playoff 17.12.11, Zulte-Waregem - Mons 2 : 3 27.08.11, Mons - Zulte-Waregem 3 : 1
Leuven-Cercle Brugge 3+ 1.60 Leuven has a goal difference of 10:11 after 4 games (1-1-2), and they're averaging about 5.25 goals per game... crazy high scoring stuff. Cercle Brugge is sitting at 2-2-0 with an 11:6 goal difference, averaging 2.5 goals. Leuven-Cercle Brugge 2:3 Cercle Brugge-Leuven 6:4 I’m calling it now—expecting plenty of goals in this one too.
