  • Sevilla - Elche
    When: 21:00
    Where: Spain La Liga

    Sevilla
    Sevilla is in a difficult phase due to the financial crisis and lost important players like Dodi Lukebakio. Coach Matías Almeida brought in experienced players like César Azpilicueta and Alexis Sánchez, but they first need to regain their form. The season start was mixed: one win against Girona contrasts with defeats against Getafe and Athletic Bilbao. The defense shows weaknesses with five goals conceded in three games.

    Elche
    Elche started the season strongly and remained unbeaten in the first three games. Under coach Eder Sarabia, the team impressed with bold offensive football and solid defense. Especially the away points against Betis and Atlético Madrid demonstrate a well-organized team. The last home win against Levante (2-0) underlines their good form, despite a cup loss with an experimental lineup.

    Injuries
    Sevilla is missing Jordan (injury), Adams, Nianzou, and Ejuke (all doubtful). Elche might be without Santiago (doubtful).

    Head-to-head
    The direct duel history is balanced, but the current form points to a close game. Sevilla is still struggling with team coordination, while Elche remains consistently stable and dangerous.

    Match prediction
    The game promises a tactically shaped encounter with agreed phases in which both teams will act cautiously. Sevilla is still seeking consistency, while Elche is lying in wait for counter-chances. Due to defensive weaknesses and inconsistent play, we do not expect many goals. The bet on "Under 2.5 goals" at odds of 1.68 is therefore highly recommendable.

    My tip: Under 2.5 goals (1.68)
    Tip
  • Marseille - Lorient
    When: 20:45
    Where: Ligue 1

    Marseille
    Marseille shows a strong offense this season despite weaknesses in defense. Coach Roberto De Zerbi has significantly strengthened the squad with numerous new signings such as Facundo Medina, Igor Paixão, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and has a lot of rotational depth. The team will try to compensate for the current issues with the lack of pressing and vulnerable defense, especially in front of their home crowd at the Velodrome.

    Lorient
    Lorient experienced a very inconsistent start to the season with a spectacular 4-0 win against Rennes, but also a heavy 1-7 defeat against Lille. The guest team’s defense appears fragile, which is concerning. With the loan of Bamo Meite from Marseille, the defense has been strengthened, but against Marseille’s strong offense it will be very difficult for Lorient to gain points at the Velodrome.

    Injuries
    Marseille will likely be missing Kondogbia (injured), Medina, Paixão, Traoré, Weah (all doubtful), Blanco (not in squad), and Igan-Riley (suspended). Lorient has to play without Adjei, Fadiga, Pagi, Toure (all injured), Kaceris is doubtful.

    Head-to-head
    Marseille is a clear favorite in direct encounters with 9 wins out of the last 10 meetings against Lorient and only one draw. Most often, the hosts won by a significant margin, highlighting Marseille’s offensive strength.

    Match Prediction
    Marseille is the clear favorite at the home Velodrome and will try to make up for defensive weaknesses with strong offense. Due to better squad quality and strong home record, Marseille is expected to win. The combination of reinforcements and home advantage clearly argues for a Marseille victory.

    My tip: Marseille win (1.35)
    Tip
  • Arminia Bielefeld - Magdeburg
    When: 18:30
    Where: Germany. 2. Bundesliga

    Arminia Bielefeld
    Arminia Bielefeld currently holds 5th place in the table with 7 points from 4 games (2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). The team has shown strong offensive performance with 9 goals scored and only 4 conceded. A particularly convincing display was the 5-1 victory against Fortuna Düsseldorf, where strong pressing and fast wing attacks dominated. However, weaknesses in defense become apparent, especially during quick counterattacks and transitional play – as seen in the 1-2 loss against Dynamo Dresden. Tactically, Arminia usually relies on a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation focusing on ball possession and attacks over the flanks, but sometimes they lack creative solutions against tightly packed defenses. Their home stadium SchücoArena is an advantage, although their defense there is not always rock-solid.

    Magdeburg
    The opponent Magdeburg is in 15th place with 3 points and has shown very inconsistent form so far (1 win, 3 losses). The team plays aggressively and offensively-minded but concedes many goals (7 scored, 10 conceded). A spectacular match was the 4-5 defeat against Greuther Fürth, which clearly exposed their open playing style and defensive vulnerabilities. Additional weaknesses exist in spatial coverage and set-piece defense. Tactically, Magdeburg alternates between 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 without consistent defensive organization. Despite the difficulties, Magdeburg can be dangerous when given space and has proven in recent games that they can score away goals. Their offensive strength makes them a serious opponent, even though stability is lacking.

    Injuries
    Arminia will miss Christopher Lannert (defender) due to a red card, which further weakens their defense. Magdeburg has to do without offensive player A. Nollenberger, who is suspended due to yellow cards, somewhat affecting attacking creativity but not decisively since other players can step up.

    Head-to-Head
    The history between Arminia Bielefeld and Magdeburg is very open and high scoring. The last encounter ended with a surprising 4-0 win for Magdeburg, while the previous game was won 3-1 by Arminia. Both teams show strong offensive traits in these duels and high goal counts, suggesting an exciting and intense match without clear dominance by either side.

    Game Prediction
    Due to the offensive playing styles of both teams and defensive uncertainties, a high-scoring game is expected. Arminia Bielefeld is favored because of their better league position, home advantage, and more stable performances, yet Magdeburg is capable of surprises and will play boldly. The analysis and statistics indicate many goals, also reflected in the attractive betting odds of 1.59 for over 2.5 goals. Since Arminia also possesses high individual quality and home strength, I recommend betting on an Arminia Bielefeld win at odds of 1.43, offering a good risk-reward ratio.

    My Tip: Arminia Bielefeld win (1.43)
    Tip
  • Paderborn - Bochum
    When: 18:30
    Where: 2nd Bundesliga Germany

    Paderborn
    Paderborn currently occupies 11th place in the table with 5 points from 4 games. With a record of one win, two draws, and one loss, the team shows a certain stability but also defensive weaknesses, especially due to the absence of key defenders and midfielders. At home, Paderborn traditionally feels strong and mostly relies on possession and positional play with many attacks down the wings. Despite the currently limited defense, Paderborn offers quite an offensive style of play, which raises hopes for many scoring chances.

    Bochum
    Bochum is currently positioned 16th, in the relegation zone, with only 3 points from 4 games. The team occasionally shows offensive strength but suffers from major injury problems and defensive instabilities. The defense appears vulnerable, especially due to gaps during counters and set-piece situations. Although Bochum often tries to succeed with quick transitions, the attack often lacks penetration. It is expected that Bochum must play offensively in the fight for important points, but will also leave some spaces.

    Injuries
    Bochum is missing important players like Ibrahima Sissoko (shoulder injury until the end of September), Erhan Masovic, and M. Kwarteng, which weakens their defensive center. Paderborn has to do without Tjark Scheller (suspended until September 20), Marcel Hoffmeier (cruciate ligament tear), and David Kinsombi (hip injury until October 24), which significantly affects defense and midfield.

    Head-to-Head
    Historically, Paderborn has usually held their own at home against Bochum, with several wins and one draw in recent encounters. Bochum, meanwhile, won only one home game against Paderborn convincingly. This record strengthens Paderborn's home advantage and shows they can perform resolutely in their own stadium against Bochum.

    Match Forecast
    Both teams are currently defensively vulnerable and simultaneously show offensive potential, indicating a high-scoring game. Injury worries in both squads further weaken their defensive ranks. Combined with the open nature of the encounter and previous statistics (“both teams to score” and “over 2.5 goals” in many recent matches), a game is expected in which multiple goals will very likely be scored. The recommendation is therefore to bet on under 3.5 goals: it is likely the match won’t be overloaded with goals but still enough to not exceed the 3.5 mark. The odd of 1.48 offers an attractive and safe betting option.

    My tip: Under 3.5 goals (1.48)
    Tip
  • Bayer 04 Leverkusen - Eintracht Frankfurt
    When: 20:30
    Where: Bundesliga Germany

    Bayer 04 Leverkusen
    Bayer 04 Leverkusen currently stands at 1st place in the table with 6 points from two games. With an impressive goal difference of 9:2, they show a strong offensive performance. The team favors aggressive and fast football over the wings in a 4-3-3 system, combined with effective finishing. However, occasional instability was seen in defense, like against Hoffenheim or in the 3:3 against Werder Bremen, where gaps remained between defense and midfield. At home, Bayer is particularly strong, even though the preparation phase revealed slight uncertainties. Overall, the form curve is rising, but caution remains advised.

    Eintracht Frankfurt
    Eintracht Frankfurt is currently in 2nd place in the table with also 6 points. The team impresses with high pressing and fast combinations, frequently using systems like 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-3 that utilize the width of the field and overload situations. In recent games, Frankfurt showed great offensive strength and solid defense with a goal difference of 7:2. However, the defense can occasionally open spaces when playing too offensively, which poses an attacking threat to the opponent. Despite the absence of key player Mario Götze, the team remains in good form and plays confidently.

    Injuries
    Bayer 04 is missing long-term Martin Terrier (Achilles tendon rupture) and Jeanuël Belocian (cruciate ligament rupture), although their absence hardly affects the starting lineup. At Eintracht Frankfurt, the loss of Mario Götze due to muscle problems is a significant setback as he represents the creative center and link in midfield. Additionally, Jonathan Burkardt (back problems), Jessic Ngankam (bone fracture), and Kauã Santos (fitness issues) are missing. Götze’s absence could somewhat decrease the offense’s creativity, yet Frankfurt remains offensively strong.

    Head-to-Head Encounters
    In the last five direct duels, Bayer 04 clearly dominated with clear wins, including results like 4:1, 5:1, and 3:0. These matches were always high-scoring and open, with many goals on both sides. This matchup thus promises an offensive and entertaining game without tactical restraint.

    Match Prediction
    Given the strong offensive performances of both teams at the start of the season and the high-scoring history of their direct encounters, a game with many goals is very likely. Bayer 04 relies on fast attacks down the wings and wants to use the home advantage, while Eintracht Frankfurt aims to score with aggressive pressing and combination play. Defensively, both teams appear vulnerable when taking offensive risks, which will lead to further scoring chances. Bookmakers offer an attractive odd of 2.24 for “Over 3.5 Goals”, but the safer bet seems to be “Over 2.5 Goals” at 1.48, as statistical data in the current and previous season support many goals.

    My Tip: Over 2.5 Goals (1.48)
    Tip
  • Ipswich Town - Sheffield United
    When: 21:00
    Where: England. Championship

    Ipswich Town
    Ipswich Town currently occupies 19th place in the table with only 3 points from four games, having scored 4 goals and conceded 5. The team shows a strong tendency toward draws, indicating a solid defense and fighting spirit. Ipswich usually plays with a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, controls the game, and relies on wing attacks, though it sometimes lacks a cold-blooded finish. The home stadium Portman Road and the combative attitude provide the team with an important advantage.

    Sheffield United
    Sheffield United is deep in the relegation zone in 24th place without any points after four matchdays. Only one goal scored against seven conceded demonstrates major problems in both attack and defense. The offense appears harmless and lacks penetration, while the defense is vulnerable. Tactically, the team likely plays 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 but suffers from coordination issues and weak pressing. Especially away from home, Sheffield looks completely powerless.

    Injuries
    Ipswich are missing Conor Townsend (ACL tear, out until August 2025) and Wes Burns (knee surgery, out until January 2026), both important players whom the team has now managed to cope without. Sheffield United has to do without Jamie Shackleton (injured until December 2024), which further weakens their already frail central midfield.

    Head-to-head matchups
    The last direct encounters date back several years and were balanced to fiercely contested – a 2-0 win and a 1-1 draw. Due to significantly changed squads, these results are only of limited relevance today.

    Match prediction
    Ipswich Town appears more stable and organized on the pitch and is clearly stronger at home than Sheffield United, who occasionally look woeful. While Ipswich shows confidence and character despite no wins yet, Sheffield is deep in a slump with major problems in both halves. Bookmakers rightly favor Ipswich. The 1.85 odds for a bet on an Ipswich Town win offer an attractive risk-reward ratio. Ipswich should be able to secure their first home win of the season in this situation.

    My tip: Ipswich Town win (1.85)
    Tip
  • Las Palmas - Real Sociedad II
    When: 20:30
    Where: Spanish Segunda División

    Las Palmas
    Las Palmas is currently ranked 12th with 5 points from four games (1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss). The offense appears weak with only 4 goals scored, especially since the injury to Sandro Ramírez, their key player, which has further reduced their attacking impact. Defensively, the team does not seem completely overwhelmed but leaves dangerously large spaces behind the defense during quick counterattacks. Tactically, they tend to control the midfield, but often lack creative impulses and dangerous finishing. Recent results show a mixed form with only a 20% win rate in the last ten matches and a tendency towards close, low-scoring games.

    Real Sociedad II
    The second team of Real Sociedad occupies 13th place with also 5 points (1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss). Compared to Las Palmas, they have scored more goals so far (6) and follow a more offensive style of play, but also reveal defensive weaknesses, especially during fast counterattacks. Their versatility is reflected in a higher win rate of 40% in the last ten games. Despite their youth, they offer greater attacking power through active wing play and controlled ball possession, which often fails due to lack of precision in finishing. The squad is traveling fully fit, which positively influences their game organization.

    Injuries
    Las Palmas is missing the important forward Sandro Ramírez due to a knee injury, which further weakens their already fragile attack. Real Sociedad II has no absences and starts with a complete squad.

    Head-to-Head
    The direct encounters between Las Palmas and Real Sociedad II have always been marked by great caution, with results like 0-0 and 1-0 in favor of Las Palmas. These low-scoring games suggest a tactically controlled and tight match with little room for open offensive play.

    Match Prediction
    Although Las Palmas is favored due to home advantage and better defensive statistics, current form and especially the injury issues in attack reveal their limits. Real Sociedad II brings a more dynamic and offensive approach which, despite defensive weaknesses, can be dangerous. The previous head-to-heads indicate a close game where a narrow home win is likely. Bookmakers offer an attractive odds of 1.43 for a Las Palmas victory, representing good value since the team usually holds firm at home. Therefore, the tip for a home win by Las Palmas is recommended, especially considering the home fighting spirit and the low risk of dropping points.

    My Tip: Win Las Palmas (1.43)
    Tip
  • Avellino - Monza
    When: 20:30
    Where: Italy. Serie B

    Avellino
    Avellino is currently in a deep crisis, occupying a very poor position in the league table with only one point from the first two matches. The offense shows little punch, having scored only one goal so far, while the defense has already conceded three goals. The tactical setup appears unstable, as the team fluctuates between different formations without finding an effectively working team structure. Major problems are especially caused by defensive gaps against quick counterattacks and long-range shots. Even the home advantage has not been utilized so far, which further aggravates the difficult situation.

    Monza
    Monza started the new season with much more confidence, showing themselves as a tactically disciplined and strong finishing team. With a balanced record of a win and a draw as well as only one conceded goal, the team impresses with a compact defense and efficient counterattacks. Particularly notable is their ability to launch dangerous counters even with little ball possession and to pragmatically control games. With no important absences, Monza has a full squad, which represents a decisive advantage over the opponent.

    Injuries
    Avellino is missing several key players: defender Andrea Cagnano is suspended, striker Andrea Favilli and midfielder Luca Palmiero are injured. These absences severely weaken the team in crucial areas – defense, attack, and creative midfield. Monza, on the other hand, has no confirmed injuries or suspensions and can field their best line-up.

    Head-to-Head
    There are no current or relevant data on direct encounters between Avellino and Monza, so previous meetings cannot be included in the analysis.

    Match Prediction
    The clear superiority of Monza in form, technique, and squad strength leaves Avellino with little chance of gaining points in this match. The struggling home team will have great difficulty becoming dangerous offensively, while Monza will present a very compact defense and focus on control and quick counterattacks. Due to Avellino's defensive weakness, few goals are expected, as both teams will concentrate on caution and stability. The probability that fewer than 2.5 goals will be scored is therefore very high. The odds of 1.65 for Under 2.5 Goals offer the most attractive betting opportunity in this game and correspond to the expected course of the match.

    My tip: Under 2.5 Goals (1.65)
    Tip
  • Amien - Bastia
    When: 20:00
    Where: France. Ligue 2

    Amien
    Amien currently holds 8th place in the table with 5 points from 4 games. The team shows a certain offensive strength with 6 goals scored but has also conceded 5 goals. The last match against Montpellier ended in a hard-fought draw. The defense appeared vulnerable, especially against quick opponent attacks. Offensively, there was a lack of penetration and precision in finishing. Amien prefers a 4-3-3 system focusing on wing attacks, but currently lacks key creative elements as Nordine Kandil and Thomas Monconduit are sidelined due to injury. This particularly weakens the central midfield and defensive stability.

    Bastia
    Bastia ranks 17th and has so far earned only 1 point from 3 games. Despite the weak results, the team fundamentally shows a fighting mentality and has the potential to score goals – demonstrated recently by a 4-2 victory against Amien. Tactically, Bastia relies mainly on compact defense and quick counterattacks, usually in a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 formation. However, the offense is not yet consistent enough to perform convincingly in every match. An advantage for Bastia is that currently no injuries or suspensions are present, so they are expected to field their strongest squad.

    Injuries
    Amien is missing two key players: Nordine Kandil (knee injury, expected until the end of March 2025) and Thomas Monconduit (bruise, until the end of August 2025), which greatly affects the creative and defensive center. Bastia, on the other hand, has no absences, providing the team with stability and options.

    Head-to-Head
    The last five encounters between Amien and Bastia have been balanced: Amien won three times, Bastia won twice. Particularly impressive was Bastia’s 4-2 victory in early August, when they clearly overpowered Amien defensively and effectively used their chances. Even though Amien mostly performed well at home, these direct results indicate an exciting and open match with goals on both sides.

    Match Prediction
    Amien will struggle despite home advantage, as absences in central midfield weaken the defense and deprive the offense of creative solutions. Bastia, at full strength and knowing they recently defeated Amien convincingly, will play confidently and look for chances. Statistics also suggest a high-scoring game with both sides able to find the net. Betting odds reflect bookmakers’ confidence in Bastia, who are favored due to Amien’s injury-related weaknesses. For this reason, the bet "Double Chance Bastia" with the odds of 1.30 is a safe recommendation to benefit from the visitors’ potential without the risk of a single-win bet.

    My tip: Double Chance Bastia (1.30)
    Tip
  • Benfica - Santa Clara
    When: 21:15
    Where: Portugal. Primeira Liga

    Benfica
    Benfica currently presents itself in excellent form. With nine points from three games and an impressive goal difference of 6:1, they lead the table. The team plays very dominantly with an offensive 4-3-3 formation that enables fast wing attacks and strong pressing. Defensively, they are stable; central defenders and defensive midfielders manage to thwart many of the opponent's chances. The home games at Estádio da Luz seem to additionally inspire the “Eagles,” making them an almost unbeatable team. Only on fast counterattacks did they occasionally show weaknesses, which hardly matters given Benfica's superiority.

    Santa Clara
    Santa Clara has so far struggled greatly this season to find their game. With only one win and four goals scored from four games, they are floating in ninth place. The offense is weak; attacking situations often remain uninspired and harmless. In defense, there is a lack of structure, and fast opponent attacks cause them significant trouble. Tactically, they try to compress space with a compact defensive formation (mostly 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1), but pressure from strong opponents like Benfica leads to many mistakes. Especially away, the team appears insecure, which further reduces their already low effectiveness.

    Injuries
    Fortunately, there are no suspended or injured key players on either team. All starters are available to the coach, allowing the teams to field their strongest lineups.

    Head-to-head
    Current data on direct encounters is not available or outdated. Both teams have changed significantly over recent years, so previous results provide little insight. The focus is therefore on current performance and form.

    Match forecast
    Due to Benfica’s clear superiority and strong form, a dominant home win is expected. The hosts’ offense is versatile and effective, while Santa Clara has little to counter with. Nonetheless, an excessively high goal count is not anticipated, as Benfica is also very solid defensively and usually withdraws into a controlled stance after taking the lead to secure the victory. Santa Clara will try their best not to get overrun, which will slow the tempo somewhat. Therefore, a total of fewer than 3.5 goals is very likely.

    My tip: Under 3.5 goals (1.38)
    Tip
  • Derry City - Bohemians Dublin
    When: 20:45
    Where: Ireland Premier League

    Derry City
    Derry City currently occupy 3rd place in the standings with 46 points. Although they have scored 40 goals, their 32 conceded goals reveal defensive weaknesses. The team often appears offensively committed but struggles in defense and with chance conversion. Their recent matches have been marked by numerous draws and some defeats, indicating a certain instability. They particularly have difficulty effectively exploiting chances against well-organized defenses.

    Bohemians Dublin
    Bohemians Dublin stand just ahead of Derry City in 2nd place with 47 points. With 36 goals scored and only 26 conceded, their play looks defensively stronger and more disciplined. Their most recent games show a tendency towards draws and close results. The team often acts defensively and is focused on ball retention, leading to few scoring opportunities but solid stability. Their offensive strength is limited, but they are hard to overcome.

    Injuries
    No reliable information on injuries or suspensions is available, so optimal line-ups for both teams can be assumed.

    Head-to-head encounters
    The last five duels between Derry City and Bohemians Dublin have been characterized by defensive tactics. Four of the five matches ended with fewer than 2.5 goals. Results like 0-0 and tight 1-0 or 1-1 games clearly demonstrate a defensive approach and low goal count, suggesting that a goal flood is not to be expected here.

    Prediction for the match
    Given the current form of both teams, the defensive orientation in the direct matchups, and the lack of information on personnel absences, a game with few goals is expected. The odds of 1.63 for under 2.5 goals offer an attractive risk-reward ratio. It is very likely that the match will, as in the past, be limited to a tactical, defense-oriented duel with not many goals scored.

    My tip: Under 2.5 goals (1.63)
    Tip
  • Le Mans - Rodez
    When: 20:00
    Where: France. Ligue 2

    Le Mans
    Le Mans currently ranks 13th in the league with 4 points from 4 games. The team has shown mixed performances so far with a record of one win, one draw, and two losses. With 5 goals scored and 6 conceded, the team shows offensive potential as well as defensive weaknesses. Home support at Stade Marie-Marvingt is very important for the team, which mostly plays an offensive 4-3-3 formation and tries to control the game through wing play and early pressing. However, there is often a lack of finishing power, and defensive gaps appear during quick counterattacks.

    Rodez
    Rodez currently stands 11th with 5 points after 4 matches. The team shows clear problems in attack, with only 2 goals scored so far this season. Their playing style is strongly focused on defense and compactness, usually using a 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 formation, concentrating on quick counters. Despite this tactic, they rarely achieve the necessary creativity and speed going forward. The defense is generally well organized, but weaknesses become apparent under pressure and fast attacks, as seen in their 0-4 loss against Saint-Étienne. Offensively, they are often harmless and lack the needed penetrative power.

    Injuries
    There is no current information on serious injuries or suspensions. Both teams are expected to field their best available players, which should lead to a balanced duel.

    Head-to-Head
    The history of direct encounters between Le Mans and Rodez is outdated and not very meaningful for today’s match since both teams have gone through many personnel and tactical changes. Therefore, an assessment based on old data is not very useful.

    Match Preview
    This match promises to be a tactically intense duel, with Le Mans trying to dictate the tone with home advantage and offensive approaches, while Rodez waits with a defensively focused strategy for counterattacks. Despite the relatively low offensive output of both teams, it is likely that each will score at least one goal. Le Mans has shown that they can score despite problems, and Rodez has defensive weaknesses which may result in goals for Le Mans. Conversely, Rodez will come to chances with sporadic attacks and manage at least one goal against their opponent. The bet “Both Teams to Score: Yes” therefore appears to be a sensible and realistic tip with odds of 1.65.

    My tip: Both Teams to Score: Yes (1.65)
