See our major predictions for the day and final results in the table below
Bundesliga – Bayern Munich vs Augsburg – 1
The Bavarian giants welcome Augsburg in a game where the home side are overwhelming favorites for all 3 points with goals to their name. The away side have been allotted massive 27 odds, and this is a testament to the fact that Bayern will run them over. The H2H stats show that Bayern have won the last 7 encounters between the two sides, and today’s fixture should not be any different. Meanwhile, Augsburg are without a win in their last 5 games, with 3 draws and 2 losses, while Bayern have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5. Vincent Kompany’s men have dropped points at home just twice in their last 19 games at the Allianz Arena.
CAF Champions League – Esperance vs Simba – 1
African teams always take advantage of games on their home turf, and the North Africans are notorious for this. They’ve not started the competition on a high, with 2 draws in 2 games, and are 2 points off the qualification spots. They need to win to have a good standing as the two teams above them face off. Meanwhile, Simba have 0 points in 2 games, and it is expected that Esperance will garner all 3 points from this one.
CAF Confederations Cup – USM Alger vs Djoliba – 1
The CAF Confederations Cup has returned and will see Algerian outfit USM Alger host Malian outfit Djoliba. The home side sit top of the group with 2 wins from 2 games and 6 points to their name, while the visitors have no points from 2 games. The home side remain heavy favorites for all 3 points in this one.
Cyprus – Apollon vs Chloraka – 1
Apollon will face Chloraka and should amass all 3 points as they are in decent form with 5 wins from their last 5 games. They also lead H2H stats against Chloraka with 3 wins in 3 previous meetings. Apollon should do enough to beat their visitors and keep pushing for a decent spot on the table.
Eredivisie – PSV vs NAC Breda – 1
NAC Breda have 7 losses and 3 draws in their last 10 away games and should be no match for league leaders PSV, who have opened a whopping 16-point gap at the top of the table. The home side have won the last 10 home games in a row against today’s opponents and are expected to continue the run of dominance.
Portugal – Arouca vs Sporting – 2
This is a tricky tie between a home side looking to escape from relegation and a superior away team who are fighting for the league title. Sporting are 7 points behind league leaders FC Porto and will close the gap before Porto plays if they beat Arouca.
The H2H is 4 wins and 1 draw for Sporting in the last 5 meetings, and they have the quality to get all points against 15th-placed Arouca, who are just 2 points above the relegation zone.
Algeria – Constantine vs El Bayadh – 1
Constantine have been decent at home with 5 wins from 5, while El Bayadh have 5 losses from their last 5 away games. The last meeting between the two sides in today’s venue saw El Bayadh beat Constantine 1-0 away from home. However, going by recent form, Constantine should be able to return to winning ways against today’s visitors.
Greece Super League – Olympiacos vs Volos – 1
Bookmakers’ odds suggest that this should be a walk in the park for the Greek giants at home to Volos. The best Volos have gotten in this fixture is 3 draws in 16 games, with 13 wins for Olympiacos. The last 5 meetings between the two teams have been convincing wins for Olympiacos, with clean sheets.
Greece Super League 2 – Karditsa vs Chrisoupolis – 1
This is a match in Greece’s lower tier, and we expect the home side to garner all 3 points, seeing that they have been impressive at home while the away side have been struggling away from home with 7 losses, 2 draws, and 1 win. The last meeting saw Karditsa beat Chrisoupolis 1-0 away from home.
Eredivisie – Ajax vs Volendam – 1
Eredivisie giants Ajax may not be at their best this season but should do enough to beat Volendam at home and secure their place in the European qualification spots, which are hotly pursued by Nijmegen, Groningen, and Twente. Volendam have won just 2 games and lost 7 in their last 9 away games, and we expect Ajax to be too strong for them, although a win is not cast in stone.
