Sportivo Italiano Sportivo Italiano has made significant progress in the current season and managed to secure three wins in the last five games. The team has conceded only three goals in the last five matches, with a particularly strong defense in the last two home games allowing no goals. Currently, the team is just two points behind Deportivo Armenio, indicating a positive form curve for the hosts.
Deportivo Armenio Deportivo Armenio is experiencing form problems, having lost three of the last five encounters and failing to score in four out of five matches. The visitor's offense currently seems ineffective, and they have so far not managed to significantly improve their goal output. This suggests a weak away performance.
Injuries No information regarding injuries.
Head-to-Head The rivalry between Sportivo Italiano and Deportivo Armenio has recently favored Sportivo Italiano, as seen in the narrowing points gap. Details of past matches indicate close encounters with few goals.
Match Prediction Due to Sportivo Italiano’s defensive stability and Deportivo Armenio’s offensive difficulties, a low-scoring game is expected. Sportivo Italiano will likely play much more defensively, and Deportivo Armenio will score no significant goals. The chances are good that fewer than 2.5 goals will be scored in the match.
My Tip: Under 2.5 goals (1.40)

Real Oviedo - Almería
When: 21:00 Where: Segunda División Playoff Semi-Final
Real Oviedo Real Oviedo secured an excellent position for the second leg with a narrow away win in the first leg. The team showed a strong defensive performance and effectively capitalized on their chances, especially with Nacho Vidal, who scored both goals. Veljko Paunović's squad can play in their usual defensive manner in this match and control the game to secure the overall victory.
Almería Almería is under immense pressure after the first leg deficit and urgently needs a win to keep their chances of reaching the final alive. Despite high possession and intense effort, they have so far failed to defeat their opponent. The offense has been too harmless so far, and with the injury-related absences of key players, it will be difficult to break through Real Oviedo’s defensive compactness.
Injuries Real Oviedo will be without Ilyas Chaira, Álvaro Lemos, and Federico Vinas due to injuries, none of which are considered very significant absences. Almería, on the other hand, must possibly also do without Leo Baptistão in addition to the long-term absences of Idrisu Baba and Lucas Robertone, which represents a substantial weakening in their offense.
Direct Encounters This season, both teams have already met three times: Real Oviedo won twice, and one match ended in a draw. In all games, both teams managed to score goals, indicating an exciting and closely contested duel.
Match Prediction Oviedo plays with a compact and solid defense, controlling the game without taking major risks. Almería will try to attack but struggles against well-organized defenses. Both teams tend to play cautiously – a low-scoring match is likely. We recommend the bet “Under 2.5 Goals” with odds of 1.65.
My Tip: Under 2.5 Goals (1.65)
Tip
Brazil - Paraguay
When: 02:45 Where: South America World Cup Qualifiers
Brazil Brazil starts under coach Carlo Ancelotti with a 0-0 draw against Ecuador, considered a rather weak start. The offense appeared harmless, with only three shots on goal in 90 minutes. However, with Rafinha's return after his suspension, the attacking power could increase again, which makes the hosts optimistic.
Paraguay Paraguay impresses in the qualifiers mainly through a strong defense, conceding an average of only 0.6 goals per game. Under coach Gustavo Alfaro, they remain unbeaten but have yet to win away and have drawn five times, often without scoring themselves.
Injuries Brazil is missing Rodrigo, Arana, Joelinton, Gabriel, and Endrick due to injuries. Paraguay must do without suspended midfielder Galarza. Rafinha is available again.
Head-to-Head Historically, matches between Brazil and Paraguay are often intense and defensively oriented. Brazil is traditionally strong at home, while Paraguay often adopts a defensive approach away and also features close results in their previous encounters.
Match Prediction Although Paraguay shows a solid defense and tactically disciplined style, Brazil will do everything under their fans' pressure to secure their first win under Ancelotti. The quality differences and home advantage favor the hosts. Brazil’s offense should become more effective with Rafinha’s return, paving the way to victory.
My tip: Brazil win (1.38)
Tip
Peru - Ecuador
When: 03:30 Where: Qualification for the FIFA World Cup 2026
Peru Peru faces one of the leaders of the South American qualifying group at home. The “Incas” are under enormous pressure, as a defeat would even eliminate their mathematical chances of participating in the World Cup. So far in the qualification, Peru has scored only six goals, the worst offensive performance of all teams. Against Ecuador’s defensive strength, it will be very difficult for the hosts to be successful.
Ecuador Ecuador presents itself as one of the most pragmatic teams in South America and has conceded only five goals in 15 qualifying matches, the best defense in the group. However, three important attackers, Valencia, Plata, and Campana, are injured, which was reflected in the last two goalless games against Chile and Brazil. Therefore, the offense could remain limited against Peru as well.
Injuries Peru has no absences due to injuries or suspensions. Ecuador must do without the injured attackers Campana, Plata, and Valencia, which limits the chances for a scoring rate by the guests.
Head-to-head In previous matches between Peru and Ecuador, both teams have often shown defensive stability. Ecuador remained goalless three times in seven away qualifying games with draws (0-0), indicating a cautious style of play. Peru has been unbeaten at home for four games, three of which ended in draws.
Game prediction Due to the strong defensive performance of both teams, the missing offensive players at Ecuador, and the general scarcity of goals in the qualification so far, we expect a low-scoring game. Both teams will likely play cautiously and wait for opponents' mistakes rather than increasing offensive risks. Therefore, betting on under 2.5 goals is very likely and offers an attractive safety with odds of 1.35.
My tip: Under 2.5 goals (1.35)

Monaro Panthers - Canberra
When: 11:30 Where: Australia NPL, Australian Capital Territory
Monaro Panthers The Monaro Panthers suffered a defeat in the first meeting against Canberra and now want to take revenge on their home ground. This season, they have been particularly strong in front of their own crowd and have won all their home games.
Canberra Canberra, on the other hand, is in excellent form, having won the last three games in a row and scoring an impressive 17 goals. Additionally, Canberra has remained unbeaten against the Panthers in direct encounters since 2023, indicating a certain superiority.
Injuries No information on injuries is available.
Head-to-Head The encounters between Monaro Panthers and Canberra are usually cautious, with a maximum of three goals scored in the last six direct duels. Canberra has the best defense in the league this season, conceding on average less than one goal per game.
Match Prediction Considering the current form and the record, a win for Canberra is recommended. The visitors go into the game as favorites since they are unbeaten in previous duels and have a strong winning streak. The tip "Win Canberra" with the odds 1.60 thus offers an attractive bet.
My Tip: Win Canberra (1.60)
Tip
Puerto Rico - St. Vincent and the Grenadines
When: 03:00 Where: World Cup Qualifiers Group F
Puerto Rico Puerto Rico is not among the favorites in Group F, but still has a chance to advance to the third qualifying round of the World Cup. This requires a win in the upcoming match and simultaneously a loss for El Salvador against Suriname. The hopes therefore rest on a home victory, especially since Puerto Rico is superior in class comparison.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines St. Vincent and the Grenadines have already lost all chances of advancing and are entering this game without significant tournament motivation. Furthermore, the team is clearly inferior in sporting terms, which is likely to negatively affect their performance.
Injuries No specific injury information is available.
Head-to-Head In previous encounters, there was often a defensive tendency in the first halves. In seven of the last ten games involving Puerto Rico and eight of the last ten with St. Vincent and the Grenadines, at most one goal was scored by halftime. It is likely that this trend will continue this time as well.
Match Prediction Puerto Rico will enter the match as hosts with a clear advantage and greater desire to win. St. Vincent and the Grenadines lack motivation, which significantly increases the chances of a home win. Based on previous performances, we also expect a rather defensive initial phase. Therefore, we recommend as a tip a Puerto Rico victory with odds of 1.30.
My Tip: Puerto Rico to Win (1.30)
Tip
Honduras - Antigua and Barbuda
When: 04:00 Where: World Cup Qualifiers North and Central America
Honduras Honduras dominated Group A as expected and secured first place with nine points from three games. While they had a clear victory against Bermuda (6:1), they faced two relatively tight matches against Cuba and the Cayman Islands, both of which were more closely contested. The team has quality but showed some vulnerabilities in certain matches.
Antigua and Barbuda Antigua and Barbuda demonstrated strong character despite the results. After a draw against Bermuda (1:1), they suffered narrow defeats against Cuba and the Cayman Islands, both 0:1. The team will likely not be without chances this time and is expected to defend well.
Injuries No specific information on injuries is available, so we assume both teams will have almost complete squads.
Head-to-Head The direct encounters between Honduras and Antigua and Barbuda are rarely characterized by many goals, indicating typically tight and defensive games.
Match Prediction Historically, in 6 of 10 matches involving Honduras, fewer than four goals were scored, and similarly, Antigua and Barbuda have rarely seen many goals in 7 of 10 games. Based on recent performances and Antigua and Barbuda’s strong defense, we expect a match where not both teams will score.
My tip: Both teams to score: No (1.43)
Tip
El Salvador - Suriname
When: 03:00 Where: World Cup Qualification
El Salvador El Salvador was considered one of the favorites in Group F before the start of the second qualification round. The team has not lost so far and started with a 0-0 draw against Puerto Rico. Historically, El Salvador has a strong record against Suriname, with eight wins out of nine encounters.
Suriname Suriname has impressively confirmed its favorite status by winning all three games with an aggregate score of 9-1. The team has recently focused heavily on solid defense, which is reflected in the few goals conceded.
Injuries There is no information available regarding injuries for this match.
Head-to-Head Matches El Salvador has clearly dominated the head-to-head record against Suriname, with eight wins in nine games. The most recent encounters have also been characterized by relatively few goals.
Match Prediction Both teams currently emphasize defensive stability, leading to low-scoring games. In El Salvador's last six games, there were rarely more than two goals, and Suriname's matches have often been low-scoring as well. Therefore, betting on under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.48 is highly recommended.
