  • Urawa Red Diamonds - Shonan Bellmare
    When: 12:30
    Where: Japan J1 League

    Urawa Red Diamonds
    Urawa currently occupy 8th place with 34 points from 22 matches. They scored 28 goals and conceded 23, which is a slightly positive balance. However, recent form with mixed results (L-D-W-L-D) shows some instability. The team often plays inconsistently and appears at times to lack professionalism during matches. Defensive weaknesses especially in the midfield lines give opponents opportunities, and the attacks, despite good wing runs, are not always effective. Tactically they prefer a 4-3-3 system that creates width but is often vulnerable in the central defensive zone. They feel strong at home, but occasionally show a dangerous complacency that leads to avoidable goals against. The high scoring rate (over 1.5 goals in 73% of matches) underlines their offensive approach, although this does not always translate into wins.

    Shonan Bellmare
    Shonan are stuck in 17th place with 24 points from 23 games – a critical situation with only 19 goals scored and 33 conceded. The last five games produced no victories (3 draws, 2 losses). The team looks weak and unimaginative offensively; they keep possession but genuine goal chances are scarce. Defensive organization is insufficient, especially vulnerable against quick counterattacks. Their preferred 3-5-2 formation is intended to strengthen the midfield but helps neither offensively nor defensively. Away games offer little hope and mostly end in disappointment.

    Injuries
    There is no information about injured or suspended players, so it is assumed both teams will field mostly complete lineups.

    Head-to-Head
    The duel between Urawa and Shonan is known for surprises and many goals. Although Urawa are favorites, Shonan have scored points more frequently and even won matches, most recently in February 2025 with 2-1 and in July 2024 with a 3-2 away win. A highlight was the spectacular 4-4 draw in March 2024. Overall, the encounters are emotional and unpredictable, marked by shifting advantages and many goals on both sides.

    Match Prediction
    Urawa will try at home to correct their recently inconsistent form and secure three points against a weak table neighbor. Despite the hosts’ unpredictability and occasional dips in performance, their individual quality is higher and home advantage is clear. Shonan will try everything, but lack clear structure and punch in attack. The history of their head-to-head matches suggests an exciting game with goals on both sides, yet much indicates a home win for Urawa Red Diamonds. The odds of 1.88 for a Urawa victory are attractive and well justified by the analysis.

    My tip: Win Urawa Red Diamonds (1.88)
    Tip
  • Jeonbuk Motors - Gangwon FC
    When: 12:30
    Where: South Korea K-League 1

    Jeonbuk Motors
    Jeonbuk Motors is the clear leader of the K-League 1, holding 48 points from 22 games in 1st place. The team recently impressed with four wins and one draw in the last five matches. Tactically, Jeonbuk usually operates in an offensive 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 system, which creates width and numerical superiority in the center. Their determined attack combines quick advances down the wings with dangerous central breakthroughs. Defensively, there are occasional weaknesses in dealing with opponents' rapid transitions, but the team shows high adaptability. At home, they usually dominate their opponents from the start.

    Gangwon FC
    Gangwon FC ranks 8th with a mixed record of 8 wins, 5 draws, and 9 losses. Their offensive performance is modest, often lacking convincing forward play. Defensively, Gangwon relies on a cautious 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 formation for zonal coverage, attempting to control central and wing-adjacent spaces. However, pressure from fast wing attacks and positional switches often stresses their defense. Away games frequently see the team lacking the necessary confidence and breakthrough power.

    Injuries
    Jeonbuk is missing four players: Jeong-un Hong (type of injury unknown), Tae-wook Jeong (shin injury), Jin-woo Jeon (physical fitness issues, out until the end of July 2025), and Jin-young Sung (injury type unknown). Gangwon must do without Bruno Oliveira (injury type unknown). Overall, Jeonbuk's squad remains deeper despite injuries, which is advantageous in intense matches.

    Head-to-Head
    The head-to-head history reveals a surprising dominance by Gangwon FC, who won four of the last five games against Jeonbuk, three of those away. However, Jeonbuk claimed a 3-0 victory in the most recent encounter on June 13, 2025, away from home, marking a potential psychological turning point. This result gives Jeonbuk confidence to successfully implement their tactics against Gangwon.

    Match Prediction
    Jeonbuk Motors enters as favorites, strengthened by current form and home advantage. Despite the challenging history in direct comparison, the recent strong away win streak shows that Jeonbuk has found the key to breaking down Gangwon’s defense. Jeonbuk’s solid defense and offensive system should make the difference. Gangwon will defend compactly but lacks consistency and offensive pressure to seriously threaten the opponent. Therefore, we expect a controlled victory for Jeonbuk, although it does not have to be a runaway win.

    My tip: Win Jeonbuk Motors (1.73)
    Tip
  • Jeju United - Seoul
    When: 12:30
    Where: South Korea K-League 1

    Jeju United
    Jeju United currently sits at the top of the K-League 1 table with 48 points from 22 games and an impressive goal difference of +21. The team is showing stable form with four wins and one draw in their last five matches. Their style of play is dynamic, characterized by high pressing and quick wing play that continuously puts pressure on the opponent. Tactically, Jeju usually operates in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, distinguished by disciplined defense and effective offensive football, scoring an average of 1.77 goals per game.

    Seoul
    Seoul currently holds 7th place in the standings with 30 points from 21 games. Their record in the last five matches is mixed with two wins, two draws, and one loss. Tactically, they likely prefer a defensively oriented 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 system, often playing on the counterattack, although they frequently lack creativity and attacking firepower. The defense is mostly solid but shows weaknesses against fast offensive actions from opponents. Home advantage and fighting spirit could be their trump cards.

    Injuries
    Jeju United can play almost without absences and has a full squad available. Seoul is missing Lee Sang-min since February due to an injury; he possibly plays an important role in central midfield or defense, which could be a weakening factor for the team.

    Head-to-Head
    The last five encounters between Jeju United and Seoul have been balanced, with two wins each and a slight edge for Jeju. The individual results show that both teams are capable of winning, although the home advantage often plays a significant role. The matches have always been competitive and varied.

    Match Prediction
    Although bookmakers see Seoul as slight favorites, the current form and team strength clearly speak in favor of Jeju United. They have more offensive power and are defensively stable. A high-scoring game is expected as both teams will have chances. Given Jeju's offensive strengths and Seoul’s usual home resilience, betting on "Over 1.5 goals" with odds of 1.35 is a very attractive choice.

    My tip: Over 1.5 goals (1.35)
    Tip
  • Shelbourne - Qarabağ
    When: 20:45
    Where: UEFA Champions League Qualification 2nd Round

    Shelbourne
    The Irish capital club Shelbourne has qualified for the Champions League qualification for the first time in nearly two decades. Under coach Joey O’Bräen, who took over after the surprising resignation of Damien Duff, the team remained unbeaten in six games and confidently won the Irish Cup. Although the results in the domestic league are not outstanding, Shelbourne impressed in the Champions League with discipline and a strong defense. In the last qualifying round victory against Linfield, the team demonstrated its ability to effectively utilize chances, led foremost by striker Ademipo Odubekko.

    Qarabağ
    The Azerbaijani club Qarabağ is an experienced and regular participant in European competitions, but recently appeared weaker in friendly matches with three losses in four games. Despite these form issues, Qarabağ still brings a lot of technical quality, especially Brazilians Silva and Borges who stand out as game-deciding players. With new signings Bolt and Bicaj, the squad has been solidly reinforced. The injured starting goalkeeper Ramazanov is replaced by the reliable Mahammadaliyev.

    Injuries
    Shelbourne have no significant absences, so coach O’Bräen can rely on his key players. Qarabağ, on the other hand, must do without Ramazanov, who is recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, but has a dependable option with his substitute.

    Head-to-Head Encounters
    This match is a premiere, as Shelbourne and Qarabağ have never faced each other before. For Shelbourne, it is a historic game in the Champions League, while Qarabağ is already familiar with this situation.

    Match Forecast
    Shelbourne will be driven by the home crowd and good defense and could play more offensively than recently. Qarabağ has more experience and technical quality, but the recently weak preparatory games and the absence of the starting goalkeeper potentially have a negative impact. Nevertheless, Qarabağ is expected to control the game and prevail, even though Shelbourne can be dangerous on counters. Against this background, betting on a Qarabağ win with odds of 1.60 is highly recommended.

    My tip: Qarabağ win (1.60)
    Tip
  • Olimpia Ljubljana - Inter Escaldes
    When: 20:00
    Where: UEFA Conference League Qualification

    Olimpia Ljubljana
    The team from Ljubljana showed decent performances in the preseason under coach Jorge Simao but failed to impress at the league start and in Champions League qualification. Despite dominance against strong opponents like Kairat, there was hardly any efficient chance conversion, indicating tactical and offensive coordination difficulties.

    Inter Escaldes
    Inter Escaldes appeared with new confidence, especially after the close but highly demanding encounter against Romanian champions FCSB. The departure of key defender Raul Feher has not negatively impacted the team so far. The team stands out for its fighting spirit and low risk in away games but definitely possesses offensive qualities.

    Injuries
    No specific injury information available; no significant absences known.

    Head-to-Head Matches
    The teams have rarely met in European competition or have no historical duels to present. Current performances provide the only basis for decision.

    Game Prediction
    Given Olimpia Ljubljana’s unstable offense and Inter Escaldes’ fighting approach, an open and high-scoring match can be expected. The guests will not only defend but also look for chances to score. The odds of 1.50 for Over 2.5 Goals thus offer an attractive bet, as both teams show signs pointing to multiple goals.

    My Tip: Over 2.5 Goals (1.50)
    Tip
  • Heart of Midlothian - Dumbarton
    When: 20:45
    Where: League Cup

    Heart of Midlothian
    Heart of Midlothian has shown absolute top form in the League Cup, celebrating three consecutive resounding victories: 4-1 against Dunfermline, 4-0 against Hamilton Academical, and 4-0 against Stirling Albion. The Hearts' offense is currently almost unstoppable, having scored an average of four goals per game in the tournament so far while conceding only one goal.

    Dumbarton
    Dumbarton started the competition with a narrow 1-0 win against Stirling Albion but then suffered a heavy 0-4 loss to Dunfermline. Their defense appears vulnerable, and their offensive performance has been limited thus far, as highlighted by a maximum of four goals scored in three games over the past few months.

    Injuries
    No specific information on injuries is available for either team.

    Head-to-Head
    In previous encounters, Heart of Midlothian has the upper hand, which is also reflected in recent results. The clear superiority of the Hearts was recently confirmed by high-margin victories against similar teams.

    Match Prediction
    Given the strong offense and defensive weaknesses of Dumbarton, a balanced offensive fireworks display seems unlikely. Heart of Midlothian could dominate this duel and score many goals, while Dumbarton is unlikely to find the net. Therefore, we recommend the bet "Both Teams to Score: No" with an attractive odds of 1.35.

    My Tip: Both Teams to Score: No (1.35)
    Tip
  • Montrose - Airdrieonians
    When: 20:15
    Where: League Cup

    Montrose
    Montrose started the League Cup with a defeat against Alloa Athletic (1-2), but were able to redeem themselves in the next match with a clear 4-1 victory against Bonnyrigg Rose. The team showed offensive strength, but it will be significantly more difficult against their next opponent.

    Airdrieonians
    Airdrieonians, who play in the Championship, are considered clear favorites in this group. They have already beaten Dundee from the Premiership (1-0) and also defeated Bonnyrigg Rose 3-0. The team performs very effectively and holds clear advantages even in direct encounters against Montrose.

    Injuries
    No specific information on injuries is available.

    Head-to-Head
    In the last three encounters, Airdrieonians always had the upper hand and were able to beat Montrose by two to three goals.

    Match Preview
    An exciting game is expected, where both teams will show their offensive qualities. Airdrieonians play very controlled, even when leading, but Montrose has proven they can score, especially against Bonnyrigg Rose. Due to the offensive style of both teams and the direct duels, we recommend the bet Both teams to score: Yes with odds of 1.45.

    My Tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.45)
    Tip
  • Qingdao Zhongneng – Chengdu
    When: 13:35
    Where: Chinese Football Association Cup Quarterfinal

    Qingdao Zhongneng
    Qingdao Zhongneng surprisingly advanced as underdogs to the quarterfinals of the cup, even though they stand second to last in the Super League table. With only eight points from 17 games, the team has shown a rather weak season performance and has rarely been convincing, especially offensively the team is not very productive.

    Chengdu
    Chengdu, on the other hand, is fighting for a spot among the top three in the Super League and counts as one of the strongest teams this season. Particularly away from home, the team shows excellent form and collects many points there. Chengdu's offense is very accurate, and with an average away goal rate of over three goals per game, we expect a dominant performance.

    Injuries
    There is no information about injuries, so it can be assumed that both teams can compete with almost full squads.

    Head-to-Head Meetings
    In the last direct encounters between these two teams, many goals were scored: in two out of three matches, five or more goals were achieved. This indicates a rather offensively oriented game.

    Match Prediction
    Based on current form and the league standings, we favor Chengdu. Their away strength and better seasonal performance clearly point to a win. The odds of 1.33 for a Chengdu victory are an attractive and safe bet. We therefore strongly recommend the bet "Chengdu to win".

    My Tip: Chengdu Win (1.33)
