Where: Italy Serie A

Kremonese
Kremonese starts as a newly promoted team in Serie A and managed to cause a surprising and historic upset in their first match against Milan by winning at Milan for the first time in 31 years. Davide Nicola's team showed a stable and fighting defensive performance, which speaks for further solid results. Their transfers were targeted and especially brought added value with the experienced Federico Baschirotto, who made an impact both defensively and offensively.

Sassuolo
Sassuolo continues to rely on the core of the squad from last season and pursues a rather defensive playing philosophy under coach Fabio Grosso, which focuses on stability against top clubs. Nevertheless, their offensive actions, especially in August, were rather sparse, indicating difficulties in chance conversion. Sassuolo is characterized by reliability away from home, having lost only once in their last nine away matches.

Injuries
Kremonese is missing Jonßen and Barbieri due to injuries. Sassuolo has to do without Torstvedt and Skiellerup, and additionally Kone is suspended.

Head-to-head Matches
Last season, the teams met twice in the second-highest division. Despite Sassuolo’s clearly better overall performance, Kremonese didn’t win any of the matches. Moreover, Sassuolo hasn't won at Giovanni Zini Stadium since 2007. The meetings were always closely contested and often ended with goals from both sides.

Match Prediction
The parallels of the recent head-to-head encounters and the playing styles of both teams suggest a high-scoring match with goals on both sides. Despite their promoted status, Kremonese showed a robust offense that has already scored twice against champion Milan, while Sassuolo almost always scores on the road, even if their offense occasionally shows weaknesses. History, current form, and tactical approach support the bet recommendation “Both teams to score: Yes” with odds of 1.65.

My Tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.65)

Where: Spain Segunda División

Sporting Gijón
Sporting Gijón has impressively started the season and has already secured two consecutive wins. The team showed a pragmatic style of play, first winning against Córdoba 2-1 and then against the league newcomer Ceuta 1-0. Overall, the team's form is very stable, as evidenced by six wins out of seven preseason matches. The home team looks highly motivated and focused on continuing their successful streak.

Cultural Leonesa
Cultural Leonesa, on the other hand, started the season extremely poorly and had to endure two defeats with an overall goal difference of 1:6. The team was hardly able to create dangerous chances and clearly faces a tough challenge to escape the relegation battle. Although there are still enough games left to improve, the team currently appears as the clear underdog in this encounter.

Injuries
Sporting Gijón is missing midfielder Jesús Bernal and defender Kevin Vasquez due to injuries, which, however, is unlikely to have a major impact on the team’s performance. Cultural Leonesa currently has no injured or suspended players to report.

Head-to-head
The teams met less than a month ago in a friendly, with Sporting Gijón edging a close 3-2 victory. This extends the home team’s winning streak against Cultural Leonesa, which has now grown to five games unbeaten in favor of Sporting.

Match prediction
The clear momentum and individual quality favor another home win for Sporting Gijón. Cultural Leonesa’s defensive weakness should be exploited to secure a convincing win. Based on the previous performances, a bet on Sporting Gijón to win at odds of 1.55 is explicitly recommended.

My tip: Win Sporting Gijón (1.55)

Where: Denmark Superliga

Vejle
After six matchdays, Vejle is at the bottom of the table and has lost the last three games in a row. Although a relegation battle was expected before the season started, the team is facing the last place. Offensively, the team shows major weaknesses, having scored only one goal in the last three games.

Viborg
Viborg oscillates between win and loss on the road and, as a seasonal mid-table team, has won two out of five games. Offensively, they score on average slightly more than one goal per game, which speaks for a positive outcome in this encounter.

Injuries
No specific information on injuries is available.

Head-to-Head
In the current calendar year, the teams met officially three times. There was a high-scoring draw and one win for each team. The matches were mostly contested and produced several goals.

Match Prediction
Due to Vejle's offensive weakness and Viborg's average away strength, we expect a game where both teams score at least once. The previous encounters and the offensive style of both teams point to an open match. Therefore, we recommend the bet "Both teams to score: Yes" with the attractive odds of 1.55.

My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.55)

When: 18:30
Where: 2nd Bundesliga

Nuremberg
Nuremberg is so far the biggest loser at the start of the season in the 2nd Bundesliga with zero points from three games. Under coach Miroslav Klose, the team has not yet played convincingly, although they only narrowly lost against strong opponents like Elversberg, Darmstadt, and Preußen Münster. In the DFB Cup, they also had to bow out in a penalty shootout against Illertissen, which significantly increased the pressure on the team. Offensively, Nuremberg has major problems and scored at most one goal this season in a cup match against a weaker opponent.

Paderborn
Paderborn started the season noticeably better with a win against Holstein Kiel, a draw against Münster, and a narrow defeat against Fortuna Düsseldorf. Overall, Paderborn presents itself as a solid team, although not among the top favorites. In the cup, they impressed with a 3-1 win against Viktoria Köln. Offensively, Paderborn scores at least two goals in half of their games but has conceded goals in all matches as well.

Injuries
No detailed information on injuries available.

Direct Encounters
Last season, Paderborn won both encounters against Nuremberg with 3-2 each. Thus, Nuremberg has lost the last three direct matches against Paderborn. The history clearly favors the away team.

Prediction for the Match
Given the current form and previous head-to-head records, Paderborn is the favorite to win. Nuremberg struggles offensively, while Paderborn regularly scores but also concedes goals. Due to the tight and tactically shaped matches and the rather reserved teams, we expect a game with fewer than 3.5 goals. The odds of 1.40 on 'Under 3.5 goals' are attractive and correspond to the expected defensive approach of both teams.

My Tip: Under 3.5 goals (1.40)
