Crystal Palace
The "Eagles" display the classic British inconsistency this season. With 12th place and 45 points, they are positioned mid-table, having scored 43 goals and conceded 47. The last five matches have been mixed: one win, two draws, and two losses. Their tactical setup usually oscillates between 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1, but often lacks stability in defense as well as threat in finishing. At home, they are somewhat more confident, but by no means unbeatable.

Nottingham Forest
Looking at the table, the "Forest" are better off with 60 points in 6th place. They scored 53 times and conceded 41 goals. However, the recent five matches reveal inconsistency with two wins and three losses. Their forward momentum sometimes leads to defensive weaknesses, especially against fast and counter-attacking teams. Tactically flexible, they use both 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 formations and occasionally test three defenders. Currently, they do not appear to be in top form and their away performance still raises questions.

Injuries
Crystal Palace have two key players sidelined long-term due to injury: Cheick Doucouré (knee surgery) and Chadi Riad (cruciate ligament tear). This significantly weakens their defense and central midfield. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, seems fully available personnel-wise, giving them a considerable advantage.

Head-to-Head
The last five direct encounters between Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest were extremely low scoring: Two 1-0 wins for Nottingham Forest, two 1-1 draws, and one 0-0. No single game featured more than two goals – a clear indication of defensively oriented and cautious matches.

Match Prediction
The combination of Crystal Palace's injury problems, Nottingham Forest's inconsistent form, and the very low-scoring direct matches suggest a close game with few goals. However, we expect both teams to score at least once, as both sides are capable of creating offensive chances. The odds of 1.68 for "Both Teams to Score: Yes" reflects this assessment well and offers an attractive betting option.

My tip: Both Teams to Score: Yes (1.68)

Malmö
Malmö currently ranks 4th in the table with 11 points from 6 games. The team shows a rather restrained record with 6 goals scored and 4 conceded, which corresponds to an average goal result of 1.67 per game. In the last five encounters, Malmö achieved two wins, two draws, and one loss. Despite being the favorite, the team occasionally shows difficulties in chance conversion and can especially struggle against compact defensive lines. Tactically, Malmö is likely to rely on ball control and an offensive basic setup with formations like 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, focusing on crosses and wing play. However, it should be noted that the defense can be vulnerable to fast counterattacks.

Brommapojkarna
Brommapojkarna is placed 10th with 7 points from 5 matches and shines with a high number of goals, scoring 7 and conceding 7, which means an average of 2.8 goals per game. The team plays very offensively and committed but suffers from a careless defense. With a similar tactical basic setup as Malmö, Brommapojkarna operates with intense pressing, which often leads to large gaps in the defense. Defensive weaknesses are further exacerbated by the absence of the central defender. Overall, the team shows unpredictable form with two wins, one draw, and two losses in the last five games.

Injuries
Malmö’s regular goalkeeper Johan Dahlin is out with a knee injury, which could affect the defense. Brommapojkarna will miss Nikola Vasic in central defense, who is expected to return only at the end of July due to an ACL tear.

Head-to-Head
In the last four direct matches between Malmö and Brommapojkarna, Malmö dominated with three wins and one draw. Interestingly, both teams scored in every one of these games. The results were 2-1, 2-2, 2-1, and 1-2, with Brommapojkarna winning once at home. This underlines the attacking qualities of both teams, while Brommapojkarna’s defense is considered vulnerable.

Match Forecast
Malmö is the clear favorite in this duel. The home team has more stability, higher playing quality, and holds the direct record against Brommapojkarna firmly. Despite the goalkeeper’s absence, Malmö’s quality and home advantage should be enough to pressure the opponent, especially defensively. The weaknesses in Brommapojkarna’s defense, worsened by the loss of a key player, increase the chances of a clear home victory. Brommapojkarna will most likely score at least one goal; however, many signs point to a clear lead and a win for Malmö by at least two goals. The betting odds of 1.38 for Malmö’s win represent an attractive opportunity.

My tip: Malmö to win (1.38)

Elfsborg
Elfsborg is currently in fifth place with 10 points after six games. With 10 goals scored and 9 conceded, the team shows a high-scoring but defensively vulnerable style of play. The team’s performance has been a rollercoaster: they win and lose alternately, with particularly significant weaknesses shown in defense. The attacking play is active, especially via the wings, but lacks finishing power and defensive organization. At home, they generally appear more secure, yet problems with quick turnovers and poor pressing remain.

GAIS
GAIS is in ninth place with 7 points and has scored only 5 goals while conceding just 4. The team relies mainly on a very defensive and compact style, often in a 5-3-2 or 4-4-2 formation. Chances going forward are scarce; the attacking play appears uninspired and lacks punch. The last five games brought just one win and four draws, which reflects their defensive approach. Away from home, the defense is further reinforced, making an offensive approach even more difficult.

Injuries
There are no reported injuries or suspensions in either team; thus, all players are available.

Head-to-Head
In direct encounters, Elfsborg recently showed some dominance at home with two wins (2-1 and 2-0) against GAIS. However, GAIS managed to win in the cup and the first season away match. The record is thus mixed, yet Elfsborg appears stronger at home against GAIS’s defensive style.

Match Prediction
This matchup is a classic duel between Elfsborg’s offensive but defensively vulnerable chaos and GAIS’s defensive, offensively weak tactics. Elfsborg will try to control the game, using their attacking strengths even if somewhat unstructured. GAIS will continue to try to defend and will create very little offensive threat. Given Elfsborg’s defensive problems, it is expected that GAIS will at least score once. The likelihood that both teams score at least one goal is therefore high. The bookmaker’s odds of 1.73 for the bet "Both Teams to Score: Yes" seem very fitting and are recommended.

My tip: Both Teams to Score: Yes (1.73)

Derry City
Derry City occupies 5th place in the table with 20 points. The team has scored 17 goals and conceded 16, indicating a fairly balanced record. In the last five games, there have been three wins and two losses. Derry City's matches often feature many offensive scenes – an average of 2.54 goals per game, and in 54% of the matches both teams score. The team often relies on wing play, trying to stretch the opponent's defense, but sometimes fails in finishing and is vulnerable defensively, especially when the opponent launches quick counterattacks. On home soil, Derry City likes to play aggressively and with pressure, which sometimes leads to open situations in defense.

St. Patrick's
St. Patrick's leads the table with 22 points, having scored 19 goals and conceded only 11 – a clear sign of a stable defense. In the last five games there have been two wins, two draws, and one loss. Their matches average 2.31 goals, and in only 38% of games do both teams score, indicating a defensive base approach. St. Patrick's plays very compactly, especially in the central midfield, and often controls the game to deny the opponent space. Away, the team tends to act more cautiously and focuses even more on defense.

Injuries
Derry City must do without Sadou Diallo (broken arm) and Cameron Dummigan (hamstring injury), which weakens the central midfield and defense. St. Patrick's miss Romal Palmer and key striker Aidan Keena (injured until mid-June), significantly reducing their offensive strength.

Head-to-Head Matches
The direct encounters between Derry City and St. Patrick's are close and mostly favor the home team. St. Patrick's won twice at home with clean sheets, and Derry City also celebrated clear home wins. The home strength of both teams is an important factor and leads to balanced matches.

Match Prediction
This encounter promises to be a hard-fought game in which St. Patrick's defense will play a key role – especially given their top scorer's absence. Derry City will strive to control the game and score, but also appears vulnerable to conceding goals. The statistics and playing styles of both teams indicate a match with relatively few goals. Bookmakers' odds favor an under-2.5-goals bet, supporting this assessment. Nevertheless, at least two goals are expected as Derry City is offensively active and St. Patrick's also poses a threat through set-pieces or occasional counterattacks.

My Tip: Over 1.5 goals (1.38)

Shelbourne
Shelbourne is currently in 6th place with 19 points from 13 games. The team presents itself defensively very stable and pragmatic, with a goal difference of 16:14. In recent matches, the team shows a remarkable ability to control games and achieve close results, with draws being common. Shelbourne's home strength enhances their reliability, where they usually appear confident and are hard to beat.

Waterford
Waterford currently stands in 8th place with 15 points, but has a worrying defensive record of 13:23 goals. The team fluctuates strongly between wins and losses without a single draw in the season. Despite relatively decent offensive performances, Waterford suffers from significant problems in defense, which are especially pronounced in away games. Their open playing style often leads to many conceded goals, which will likely be a major problem against Shelbourne's compact defense.

Injuries
Shelbourne will miss Daniel Kelly, Tyreke Wilson, and Paddy Barrett, with the defensive absences in particular potentially representing a weakness. Waterford is missing two key offensive players, Trae Coyle and Matty Smith, which is likely to further limit their already low scoring threat.

Head-to-head encounters
In the last five direct confrontations, Shelbourne clearly dominated with five wins. The results were mostly close but show a consistent superiority of the home team in direct comparisons. This underlines Shelbourne's defensive strength and the challenges Waterford faces when attacking this formation.

Match prognosis
Shelbourne is the clear favorite to win this encounter as well. Their defensive organization and home strength combined with Waterford's weak and unstructured defense clearly argue for a home win. The game will likely not be very high-scoring since Shelbourne prefers a pragmatic approach focused on security. The odds of 1.55 for a Shelbourne win indicate that bookmakers share this assessment. A close but deserved home victory is the most probable scenario.

My tip: Shelbourne win (1.55)

Chengdu Rongcheng
Chengdu Rongcheng is currently in top form and holds a strong second place in the table with 20 points from 9 games. With 15 scored goals and only 6 conceded, the team boasts an impressive goal difference of +9. Particularly noteworthy is the defensive discipline, which allows the team to play very compactly, conceding only 0.67 goals per game on average. The strategy is based on quick transitions and flanking attacks, while the home games are traditionally marked by strong support from the fans, providing additional motivation for the team.

Zhejiang FC
Zhejiang FC is in sixth place with 15 points after 10 games. Although offensively slightly more productive than Chengdu with an average of 1.9 goals per game, their defense raises concerns with an average of 1.4 goals conceded per game. Their recent results show fluctuations with two wins, one draw, and two losses in the last five games, reflecting their instability. The team relies heavily on ball possession and short passes but often lacks breakthrough power and necessary defensive organization, making them vulnerable to fast counterattacks.

Injuries
There is no precise information about injured or suspended key players for this match. Therefore, it is assumed that both teams can field their main players.

Head-to-Head
The recent encounters between Chengdu Rongcheng and Zhejiang FC clearly favor Chengdu, who achieved three wins and one draw in the last five meetings. Especially the two matches this year, with 3-0 and 3-1 wins for Chengdu, demonstrate Chengdu’s superiority and tactical advantages over Zhejiang. Additionally, the games are usually high-scoring, which highlights the offensive quality of both teams.

Match Prediction
Due to the clear form strength, solid defense, and home advantage of Chengdu Rongcheng, as well as the defensive weaknesses and inconsistent performances of Zhejiang FC, a Chengdu victory is very likely. The bet on a Chengdu Rongcheng win (odds 1.53) is therefore an attractive and well-founded choice for this matchup.

My tip: Win Chengdu Rongcheng (1.53)
