Betting tips – Ajax vs Lyon – 03.05.2017

Ajax Amsterdam and Olympique Lyon will open the UEFA Europa League semifinal round, today from 17:45, UK Time, the odds being very well balanced.

Ajax‘ recent form is not impressive, coming here after two losses. They seem to be out of title race in Dutch Eredivisie and their main target now is Europa League. They have the third chance to win the trophy, after Manchester United and Olympique Lyon. Ajax have two missing players, with Viergever and Veltman being suspended.

Lyon will be without Depay, since he played for Man United earlier in the season and now he is ineligible. The visitors faced Besiktas in the Quarter Finals, eliminating them after penalty kicks. The French team failed to impress this year in the away games, proof that they have won only three trips out of twelve in all competitions so far.

Ajax vs Lyon probable lineups:
Ajax (4-3-3): Onana – Tete, Sanchez, Ligt, Sinkgraven – Klaassen, Schone, Ziyech – Traore, Dolberg, Younes.
Lyon (4-2-3-1): Lopes – Jallet, Mammana, Diakhaby, Morel – Gonalons, Tousart – Ghezzal, Tolisso, Valbuena – Fekir.

Prediction: Both teams to score @ 1.53
Ajax and Lyon have good attacks and they will be looking for a positive result this evening in Amsterdam. We expect a spectacular meeting, with goals from both protagonists, the odds being good enough in our opinion.

Betting tips – Nice vs PSG – 30.04.2017

Nice and PSG are two of the strongest teams in French Ligue 1 and the game is going to be really exciting. The kick off is set at 20:00, UK Time and the visitors need three points with any price.

Nice did a very good job this season and they secured the third position, being qualified for Champions League next edition. They still have a chance for the title, but only in mathematical terms. Nice have the second best defense in the country, conceding only 28 goals in 34 games. More than that, they have lost only two games in the first 34 rounds, so they are a really hard rock.

PSG need three points with any price, as we said, if they want to remain in the title race. They are second in Ligue 1, with 80 points, same as Monaco, but with a weaker goal difference. More than that, Monaco have a big advantage with one match in hand at the moment. PSG struggled in the reverse fixture, getting only a draw at home, 2-2 back in December 2016.

Prediction: 2 @ 1.53
We consider that PSG have a stronger squad and they will give their best Sunday evening to remain in the title race. We went for PSG to win three points, the odds being atractive enough in our opinion.

Betting tips – Angers vs Lyon – 28.04.2017

Angers and Olympique Lyon will open the 35th round in French Ligue 1. The odds are well balanced and nothing should surprise us in a game like this one. The kick off is set Friday at 19:45, UK Time.

Angers are totally out of form, coming here after four consecutive losses in Ligue 1. Even so, they have no concerns about relegation, to be honest. Their situation is a decent one, with seven points above red line when there are four remaining rounds. Angers have a total of 39 points and a 34-46 goal difference, struggling in the attack. They have a strong defense at home, conceding only 15 goals in 17 matches.

Lyon are not in their best form and they are likely to rest few players for the Europa League semifinals next week. The visitors have 54 points and a 66-41 goal difference, being on the 5th position, with a good chance to qualify for UEL next edition. OL have the third best attack in the country, scoring exactly two goals per game. Lacazette is injured and will not feature here.

Prediction: Under 3.0 goals AH @ 1.38
We expect a tight game today in German Cup, as no one wants to make a wrong step. We went for maximum two goals, with money refunded in case of exactly three goals today.

Betting tips – Bilbao vs Betis – 27.04.2017

The last game scheduled in the 34th round of Spanish LaLiga will see Athletic Bilbao and Betis Sevilla facing each other, today from 20:30, UK Time.

The Basques are in pole-position at the bookies and on the papers too and they need three points to get back in Top 6. They have a clear target for the final part of the season, to finish in Top 6 and to qualify in Europa League. Their home record is really impressive, winning 39 points out of 51. Only Barcelona (42p) and Real Madrid (40p) have better home records.

Betis Sevilla have no concerns about relegation anymore, being 13 points above red line and they are saved in mathematical terms. The visitors won the previous two league matches, 2-0 vs Eibar and 1-0 vs Celta Vigo. The away side have a 36-51 goal difference, struggling up front and also in defense, especially away from home. Betis won the reverse fixture, 1-0 in December.

Bilbao vs Betis Sevilla probable lineups:
Bilbao (4-2-3-1): Kepa – Marcos, Laporte, Alvarez, Balenziaga – Etxebarria, Jose – Williams, Garcia, Muniain – Aduriz.
Betis (3-5-2): Adan – Pezzella, Bruno, Tosca – Navarro, Ceballos, Pardo, Brasanac, Durmisi – Alegria, Joaquin.

Prediction: 1 @ 1.40
As we said, Athletic Bilbao have an impressive home record and we expect them to win this crucial match for them, the odds being acceptable at the moment.

Betting tips – Monchengladbach vs Eintracht Frankfurt – 25.04.2017

The first German Cup semifinal this year will take place this evening from 19:45, putting face to face Monchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Borussia Monchengladbach are a little in pole-position, but they will have a difficult mission. After an unimpressive campaign in Bundesliga, the hosts are looking forward to win the cup, but there are Dortmund and Bayern in the other semifinal. Surprisingly or not, Gladbach failed to impress in the home games lately, winning only two in the past ten weeks, in all competitions.

The other side, Eintracht Frankfurt are on the 9th position in Bundesliga, ahead Gladbach at the moment. The DFB Pokal is their main target for the final part of the season, but they need to show an excellent form this evening. Their strongest point remains the defense, while the attacks still struggles, being the weakest one in Top 13 in German Bundesliga after 30 rounds.

Prediction: Under 3.0 goals AH @ 1.38
We expect a tight game today in German Cup, as no one wants to make a wrong step. We went for maximum two goals, with money refunded in case of exactly three goals today.

Betting tips – Schalke vs RB Leipzig – 23.04.2017

Schalke and RB Leipzig will face each other today from 16:30 in the last game scheduled this Sunday in German Bundesliga, the odds being very well balanced.

Schalke disappointed this season in the domestic league and they have been eliminated from UEFA Europa League few days ago by Ajax. Talking about their Bundesliga situation, Schalke are only on the 11th position, with 37 points and a 38-34 goal difference.  Kolasinac, Kehrer, Moting, Naldo, Baba and Embolo are not available for this clash.

RB Leipzig have impressed us this campaign and they are still on second position, with 61 points. A victory today will put them six points behind the leader, with six remaining rounds. They are qualified in Champions League, but they surely want to finish on the podium. Lukas Klostermann remained home, as he is still injured and not available.

Schalke vs Leipzig probable lineups:
Schalke (4-2-3-1): Fahrmann – Coke, Howedes, Nastasic, Aogo – Geis, Bentaleb – Schopf, Meyer, Caligiuri – Burgstaller.
Leipzig (4-4-2): Gulacsi – Bernardo, Orban, Compper, Halstenberg – Sabitzer, Keita, Demme, Forsberg – Poulsen, Werner.

Prediction: Both teams to score @ 1.66
There is nothing to lose for Schalke and Leipzig today. We expect a good display from both sides and we decided to go for both teams to score this afternoon.

Betting tips – Monchengladbach vs Dortmund – 22.04.2017

Borussia Monchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund will offer us a very interesting duel today from 17:30, UK Time, in the German Bundesliga 30th round.

Monchengladbach were very inconstant this campaign and that’s why they are only on the 9th position right now. Gladbach are on the 9th position now, two points behind Top 6, so they need a perfect run in the remaining six rounds to get in Europa League. Gladbach ticked seven wins, three draws and four losses in their 14 home games so far.

Dortmund secured their place in Top 4 this campaign and now they fight for the third one, to avoid Champions League preliminary rounds.
