Espanyol
Espanyol has started the season strong and is currently undefeated. With seven points from three games and two wins against teams like Atletico Madrid, Manolo González's team is showing offensive firepower that has brought them success so far. However, the defense still has weaknesses, which are often compensated by an effective offense.

Mallorca
Mallorca has struggled so far and only has one point. Their opponents, however, have often been very strong, including Real Madrid and Barcelona. Despite the defeats against the top teams, Mallorca showed good signs, especially on set-pieces, which remain an advantage due to their physical presence. Coach Jagoba Arrasate needs to boost his team's morale to get out of the crisis.

Injuries
Hernandez is doubtful for Espanyol, while Mallorca may have to do without Liabres.

Head-to-head
Espanyol clearly dominates home matches against Mallorca with six wins and one draw out of seven games. This record strongly favors the hosts and gives them additional momentum.

Match prediction
Given Espanyol's strong start and Mallorca's current poor form, we expect an open and offensively shaped game. Both teams have defensive problems, indicating multiple goals. Espanyol plays aggressively at home and focuses on scoring, while Mallorca also looks for offense through dangerous set-pieces. The betting odds of 1.60 for over 2.5 goals are very attractive considering these factors and promise an exciting match.

My tip: Over 2.5 goals (1.60)

Como
Como is starting the new season with great ambitions. After achieving a respectable 10th place last year, the club from Lombardy now aims to take the next step and qualify for a European competition. With another major investment of over 70 million euros in the summer, the "Lakeside" team has significantly strengthened their squad. They impressed recently, especially in the season opener against Lazio, winning that game by two goals. However, the match against Bologna revealed some weaknesses, particularly against quick counterattacks.

Genoa
Despite a change in ownership, Genoa has maintained its role as a talent incubator and continues to focus on selling its best players. The loss of key players like Fabio Miretti and Andrea Pinamonti has left noticeable gaps that have not yet been satisfactorily filled. The offense is struggling significantly in finishing, reflected in two goalless home draws against Juventus and Lecce. Things haven't been going well with Lorenzo Colombo as the new striker, with Nicolae Stanciu being the only standout performer so far.

Injuries
Como has to do without Diao and Van der Brempt (both injured). Genoa is missing Cornè due to injury.

Head-to-head
In the 21st century, Como and Genoa have met only four times, with Genoa never emerging as the winner. In the last season's fixture, Genoa lost 0-1 away at Como. This streak of the "Greens" being unsuccessful against Como will likely continue.

Match prediction
Como will most likely take control of the game and secure a home win. The Como team is clearly favored given the comprehensive squad reinforcement and home advantage at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia stadium. Genoa has not shown away strength lately and faces offensive problems. In addition, the visitors’ playing style tends to be defensive, which will probably lead to a low-scoring game. Therefore, a win for Como is very probable.

My tip: Win Como (1.70)

AIK
AIK is currently in 3rd place in the table with 40 points and shows a stable performance in the top Swedish league. The defense is robust, the team acts tactically disciplined, mostly in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system, which allows them to control the games and use chances effectively. Their home strength and the ability to earn points even under pressure make AIK a serious contender. In recent games, they proved their quality with wins against Sirius (2-1) and Degerfors (1-0), although they revealed weaknesses in some matches, such as against Djurgården. Nevertheless, they remain a consistent team with a good offensive and defensive record.

Brommapojkarna
Brommapojkarna rank 9th with 26 points and appear as an unpredictable opponent. Their games are often high-scoring as they favor an offensive style of play, but their defense suffers from frequent lapses, leading to many goals conceded. Their point yield is fluctuating with both strong wins like 3-0 against Elfsborg and clear losses such as against Hammarby (1-4). Tactically, they prefer offensive formations but can be vulnerable to quick counterattacks. Their defense is unstable and could suffer under the pressure of an organized team like AIK.

Injuries
At present, there are no known injuries or suspensions for either team, so both coaches can rely on their strongest lineups.

Head-to-Head
The last five matches between AIK and Brommapojkarna show a slight dominance of AIK with three wins, one draw, and one loss. Especially at home, AIK has a strong record with both narrow and clear victories. Brommapojkarna, however, is always capable of causing surprises as the varied results demonstrate.

Match Prediction
AIK enter at home as clear favorites and possess the necessary tactical discipline and quality to put pressure on Brommapojkarna's unstable defense. Despite the guests' offensive strength, AIK is expected to maintain the upper hand thanks to their defensive stability and home advantage. The odds of 1.73 for an AIK win offer a valuable and realistic betting opportunity, as the team knows how to use its chances efficiently and will make it difficult for Brommapojkarna to find rhythm. Therefore, a bet on AIK to win is both safe and recommended.

My tip: AIK to win (1.73)

Rizespor
Rizespor currently ranks 17th in the table with only 1 point from three games and a goal difference of 1:6. The team has shown weaknesses in recent matches, especially in defense, as evidenced by a clear 0:3 home defeat against Göztepe and a loss to Galatasaray (1:3). Offensively, chances are created with effort, but there is a lack of penetration. Nonetheless, the team feels more secure on home ground and has a variety of tactical systems, such as 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, which can pay off with better chance conversion.

Genclerbirligi
Genclerbirligi is at the very bottom of the table (18th place) with no points from four games and a goal difference of 3:8. The team is clearly in crisis mode and struggling with significant personnel issues. Key players such as Michal Nalepa (suspended), Henry Onyekuru (injured), and Peter Etebo (muscle injury) are missing. The defense appears shaky and vulnerable, while offensively there is often a lack of precision and effectiveness. Tactically, a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 formation is preferred, but without a full squad and in poor form, hoping for improvement will be difficult.

Injuries
Rizespor can almost field a full squad, without any significant injuries or suspensions. It is quite different at Genclerbirligi: the absence of Michal Nalepa due to multiple yellow cards, Henry Onyekuru due to injury, and Peter Etebo because of a muscle injury significantly weakens the team and greatly reduces the coach’s options.

Head-to-Head Matches
The recent encounters between Rizespor and Genclerbirligi have been very high scoring and characterized by open play. In April 2023, Rizespor won 5:3, and in November 2022 also won 3:1. Many goals were scored in the past as well, indicating defensive weaknesses and an open style of play from both teams. This history clearly points to a match with several goals.

Match Prediction
Given the better personnel situation, home advantage, and recent clear superiority in direct duels, Rizespor is the favorite in this match. Genclerbirligi is deeply in crisis, weakening itself through injuries and suspensions, and will struggle to withstand the pressure. Rizespor will dominate the game and create chances to finally earn important points. The 1.65 odds on a Rizespor win therefore offer an attractive opportunity to bet on the more combative and mentally motivated home team.

My tip: Rizespor to win (1.65)

Real Zaragoza
Real Zaragoza currently stands in 18th place with only 2 points from 4 games. The offense is weak with just 3 goals scored, while the defense has already conceded 6 goals. The game often looks aimless, with hardly any inspiring offensive actions and a vulnerable defense defining the picture. At home they do somewhat better, but overall there is a lack of pace and punch in the offense.

Albacete
Albacete is at the very bottom in 20th place with only 1 point from 4 games, but a notable goal record of 8 scored and 13 conceded goals. The team plays an open, offensive football that, however, reveals many defensive weaknesses. Despite numerous injuries and suspensions, Albacete will continue to be offensively dangerous, which puts a heavy burden on the defense.

Injuries
Albacete has to do without several key players: Higinio Marin (suspension), Antonio Pacheco, Jesus Vallejo and Lorenzo Aguado (muscle injuries). Zaragoza is missing A. Radovanovic, but this is less severe.

Head-to-head
In the last five direct encounters, Albacete has achieved three wins and two draws against Zaragoza. Zaragoza has not managed a single victory against this opponent, which suggests a psychological advantage for Albacete.

Match prediction
The game promises to be offensive to watch, as both teams concede many goals and can score as well. Zaragoza will likely start cautiously at home, but due to defensive weaknesses, Albacete will get chances. Albacete, despite the injury crisis, will play openly going forward. The high probability that both teams will score at least once is supported by the statistics. The betting odds of 1.65 for "Both teams to score: Yes" is very attractive and corresponds to the match flow, which promises many goals.

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

FC Tokyo
FC Tokyo currently occupies 15th place in the standings with 31 points, composed of 8 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses. Their offensive performance is decent with 30 goals scored, however, the defense shows clear weaknesses with 42 goals conceded – almost like Swiss cheese. In the last five matches, the team showed fighting spirit, but often lacked consistency and composure, reflected in a mix of wins, draws, and losses. Tactically, they usually employ an open 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 system emphasizing the wings, but often leaving defensive gaps. Especially at home, they try to dominate the game, but the vulnerable defense could cause problems.

Tokyo Verdy
Tokyo Verdy stands just ahead of FC Tokyo in 14th place with 32 points, based on 8 wins, 8 draws, and 12 losses. The team struggles offensively, as seen by only 16 goals scored, while the defense with 28 goals conceded appears comparatively more stable. Their play is strongly defense-oriented, usually in a 5-3-2 or 4-4-2 formation, focusing on a dense midfield and defensive structure, while offensive creativity is nearly absent. In recent encounters, defensive tactics and low-scoring games dominated, reflected by several goalless or very low-scoring matches.

Injuries
FC Tokyo is missing Yuta Arai (ACL tear until 03/22/2025), Tsuyoshi Ogashiwa (shoulder injury until 09/29/2025), and Kosuke Shirai (thigh injury until 10/01/2025), however, the team has already adjusted and found suitable replacements. Tokyo Verdy has long-term absences with Goki Yamada (knee ligament rupture until 11/03/2025) and Hiroto Yamami (ACL tear until 02/28/2026), which the team also needs to compensate for.

Head-to-head Matches
The last three direct encounters between FC Tokyo and Tokyo Verdy all ended in draws – twice 2-2 and once goalless 0-0. This statistic shows a tradition of low-scoring and balanced games between the two teams, indicating either strong defense or lacking offensive penetration.

Match Forecast
Due to Tokyo Verdy’s offensive weakness and FC Tokyo’s defensive gaps but overall moderate average goal success from both teams, a generally low number of goals is expected. The tendency towards cautious, disciplined play and the history of numerous low-scoring games clearly point to a match with fewer than 2.5 goals. The odds offered by bookmakers at 1.50 for this bet therefore provide an attractive and realistic assessment. An open game but not offensively spectacular, in which both teams primarily focus on defensive stability and a goal fest is unlikely.

My Tip: Under 2.5 goals (1.50)
