15:00 – Rubin Kazan WIN (Russian Premier League)
Rubin Kazan are a very strong team at home, they won 5 of their last 6 league home games at the back end of last season, their only loss a 2-1 defeat by Krasnodar. Amkar Perm are poor away from home, they have not won on the road since October 2013, a run that stretches back 23 away games. Even though both teams lost their opener, i can’t see Amkar Perm posing any problems for Rubin Kazan.
16:00 – Shamrock Rovers -1.5 Asian Handicap (Ireland Premier Division)
Shamrock have started the season well and sit in 4th place after 18 games. Their opponents Limerick have only picked up 6 points in their 20 games and sit rock bottom. Shamrock’s home form has been the key to their good start and are unbeaten in their last 14 Home games, winning 12 and drawing 2. Their opponents have not won on the road in their last 11 games and so far this season they have lost by at least this handicap mark against 1st, 2nd and 3rd already! I expect Shamrock to go to town today and could easily put 4 or 5 past them!
16:30 – Inter Turku WIN (Finnish Veikkausliiga)
5th hosts 7th in this mid table Veikkausliiga clash and the hosts are the sure fire bet here. They are unbeaten in their last 9 at home, winning 6 and drawing 3. Their opponents Lahti have lost 3 of their last 4 on the road which includes losses to bottom, 11th 10th in the league. I feel the odds on offer are extremely generous for a team who performs well at home against a team that has lost to 3 of the only 4 teams below themselves in the table!
17:00 – Odd WIN (Norweigan Tippeligaen)
7th placed Odd take on relegation threatened Tromso here today. Odd are usually a “home banker” in this division but just lately have struggled to get a win on the board. Today they play a Tromso side who have only 1 away win in their last 23 trips on the road. Odd will look to get back to winning ways against a team that can’t win away from home for love nor money! Wouldn’t be surprised to see an emphatic win here today!
17:00 – Legia Warsaw -1 Asian Handicap (Polish Ekstraklasa)
Legia Warsaw kicked off the season with a fantastic 4-1 win away from home and now play Podbeskidzie in their first home match of the season. Legia Warsaw are notoriously an excellent away team winning well over 70% of their home games in previous years! The away team today are very hit and miss, especially on the road. I can’t see them being any trouble for a side who have eyes for the title this season!
18:00 – Dundalk WIN (Ireland Premier Division)
1st plays 2nd and with both teams in good form we take the big hitting home side in this clash. They dominate the recent Head-to-Head records between the 2 when they have played at home. They have won on the last 4 occasions by scorelines of 2-0, 4-0, 4-0 and 2-0. Dundalk currently sit 6 points clear of Cork and a win here could decide where the title will be heading this season. They have scored 17 goals in their last 5 games and although Cork have been good on the road their defense hasn’t been solid which spells bad news for them as they come up against a rampant Dundalk side.
