We are already in August, so there is more and more action to make our picks from.
The second German division starts this weekend, so we here at EPLNews.org are looking at that along with many other leagues and cup competitions to bring you the best value for predictions, so read on to see what there is out there.
As usual, do make sure to check out our YouTube channel for the best content related to the Premier League and beyond.
Let’s get started.
Lokomotiv Moscow vs Akron – Lokomotiv Moscow to win (1.50)
There is only one favourite in this Russian clash, especially since Lokomotiv has won 6 of its last 9 home matches (D2, L1), including the last 4 head-to-head matches against Akron in Moscow.
CSKA Moscow vs Rostov – BTTS (2.01)
This particular BTTS pick looks like incredible value.
Both teams have scored at least once in 15 of CSKA’s last 16 home matches, as well as in 7 of Rostov’s last 8 away matches.
Dynamo Moscow vs Dynamo Makhachkala – Dynamo Moscow to win (1.73)
Still in Russia, it’s the clash of the Dynamos and the team from the capital looks like a lock.
Dynamo Moscow has won 6 of its last 8 home matches, as well as all head-to-head matches between the teams in Moscow.
Orlando City vs Leon – Orlando City to win (2.05)
Orlando are doing very well on home soil of late, winning 5 of their last 7 when playing in front of their fans.
Inter Miami vs Monterrey – Over 1.5 goals for Inter Miami (1.46)
Miami are usually good for goals, especially when playing at home.
They have scored 2 or more goals in 8 of their last 9 fixtures on home soil.
Spartak Moscow vs Krasnodar – BTTS (1.59)
Back to Russia for one more pick and it’s another BTTS that looks like an absolute lock.
Spartak has scored in 28 of their last 29 home matches, while Krasnodar has scored in 15 of their last 17 away matches.
West Ham vs Portsmouth – West Ham to win (1.45)
Despite both teams playing in the Championship this season, West Ham are one of the favourites for automatic promotion and head into this League Cup match as clear favourites as well.
Karlsruher vs Arminia Bielefeld – BTTS (1.45)
It’s now time to see about this pick from 2. Bundesliga.
Both teams have scored and conceded in 8 of Karlsruher’s last 10 matches in all competitions, along with 6 of Arminia’s own last 10 and 8 of the most recent 10 head-to-heads.
PSV vs Sittard – PSV to win on a -1.5 Asian handicap (1.50)
Let’s face it, it wouldn’t be a predictions newsletter from EPLNews.org without a few picks from the Netherlands.
PSV have won 8 of the last 10 H2Hs (D2), with 6 of those wins coming by 2 or more goals.
Den Bosch vs Almere City – Over 2.5 goals (1.42)
Goals are the name of the Dutch game, so here is a tip from the goals market too.
All of the last 5 direct meetings between these sides in official games ended with 3 or more goals scored.
Dundee FC vs Aberdeen – Over 2.5 goals (1.80)
A quick trip to Scotland for a goals pick too.
All of the most recent 7 games between Dundee FC and Aberdeen have ended with 3 or more goals.
Zwolle vs Ajax – Ajax to win (1.50)
Back to the Dutch streak, shall we?
Ajax have been in great form over the summer, whether in friendlies or in Conference League qualifiers, winning 7 of their 9 matches since the end of last season (D1, L1). Meanwhile, Zwolle have lost 7 of their last 10 matches in all competitions (W2, D1) since the start of April.
Maastricht vs Jong Utrecht – Over 2.5 goals (1.55)
Ok, last tip from the Netherlands for this article, and naturally it’s goals-based.
2.5+ goals has landed in all of the last 5 direct meetings between these sides.
Sepsi Sf. Gheorghe vs FCSB – Under 2.5 goals (1.80)
Last, but not least, a look at one of the games in the Romanian first league, which is usually not famed for its many goals.
None of Sepsi’s last 9 fixtures in all competitions brought more than 2 goals.
