See our major predictions for the day and final results in the table below
Ligue 1 – Lens vs Le Havre – 1
Ligue 1’s surprise package of the season, Lens FC, welcome Le Havre to their home turf tonight in a game where a win will take them to the summit of the table over defending champions PSG, who will have a game in hand. Lens have been very impressive this season and were on a 10-game winning streak before their 1-0 loss to Marseille away from home. It can be recalled that today’s visitors stunned them 1-0 in the last game in front of Lens’ home fans. However, the home side has improved considerably since then and are on a 9-game winning streak at home. I see them garnering all 3 points, even if it is a slim victory.
Egypt Division 2 – Al Qanah vs Raya – 1
We are exploring Africa in this one, and in Division 2A of Egyptian club football, league leaders Al Qanah welcome Raya. Al Qanah sit atop the table with 45 points from 20 games, while Raya sit second from bottom with 16 points in 20 games. Al Qanah have not lost at home in 13 games and are on a run of 3 consecutive home wins. Generally, they have won their last 8 games in a row and will be too strong for Raya, who have been on a streak of losses and draws away from home. The last two games at Al Qanah ended in draws, but we are going with them to win this fixture and consolidate their number one spot.
Lebanon – Al Ansar vs Al Hikma – 1
A trip to Lebanon sees us going with Al Ansar for all 3 points when they welcome Al Hikma. Al Ansar have an impressive home record, while Al Hikma are there for the taking away from home. Al Ansar sit at the top with 29 points and are hotly pursued by Nejmeh SC, who sit second with 27 points. Therefore, they cannot afford to slip against a side they’ve beaten 5 times and lost once in 6 home encounters.
Romania – Cluj vs Metaloglobus – 1
Cluj have been decent in recent times, but their position on the log leaves more to be desired. However, we expect them to beat Metaloglobus, who are on a 7-game losing streak away from home. This should be a win for CFR Cluj, as they will boost their chances of making it into the top 6 of the league table with a win.
Saudi Professional League – Al Taawon vs Al Okhdood – 1
Al Taawon have been impressive at home, but the same can’t be said for Al Okhdood away from home. The visitors have lost 5 away games in a row, while Al Taawon boast 5 wins and 2 draws in 7 home games. The home side can still make it to the top 3, and all 3 points will keep them in the race and boost their chances. The odds might be tricky, but we expect Al Taawon to do enough to get all 3 points.
Saudi Professional League – Al Kholood vs Al Nassr – 2
Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates are favorites for the win, but this is still a tricky game. Regardless, they must win to maintain the hot pursuit of Al Hilal, who have dropped points in their last 2 games. A win will narrow the gap to 3 points, and Al Nassr will relish this opportunity. The H2H favors Al Nassr with 2 wins and 1 draw in 3 meetings, with Al Kholood also suffering 4 losses and 1 win in the last 5 games.
Uganda – Vipers vs Buhimba – 1
Vipers are expected to make light work of Buhimba, and we are backing them for all 3 points. Vipers are on a 5-game winning spree, while Buhimba have 2 losses in a row, 1 win, 1 loss, and 1 draw in the last 5 games. Vipers should grab all 3 points.
Romania – Din Bucuresti vs Petrolul – 1
Din Bucuresti are just 2 points below the number 1 spot on the league table and will be looking to close the gap and mount pressure on league leaders Univ. Craiova and second-placed RF Rapid Bucuresti, who will play later. In the last 5 meetings, Din Bucuresti have 3 wins and 2 draws against Petrolul and are favorites for all 3 points in this tricky game. We are taking a risk here and going all out for the home side to amass maximum points from this game, regardless of the odds in place.
