Sonderjyske vs Silkeborg

Sonderjyske didn’t manage to get the victory at home over Esbjerg in the previous round two weeks ago even though they were favorites to claim all three points. However, they were better during the game and looked like scoring, but stood behind in the scoreline in 64th minute with a goal from Paulsen. From the moment they got behind in the scoreline, the team looked way better and found equalizer three minutes later thanks to Uhre, continuing to attack, but without changing the scoreline even though they were better than the opponents.

Their start of the season is quite tragic for now, since the team still aims for their first victory of the season, having four draws and three defeats for now. Logically, they are in the relegation zone, being two points above today’s opponents, above rock bottom placed side. Victory is their only target today and anything but the three pointer would be another huge blow for their targets this season.

Their manager Mikkelsen is having no injury nor suspension worry ahead of this match and will be able to send his best starting eleven in a game where they need to win so badly.


Silkeborg had a decent performance two weeks ago when the team visited Randers, but still stood defeated with a narrow 1:0 result. They looked passive during the first halftime and conceded a goal in 36th minute via Kallesoe, trying to react later on, but with obvious limited quality in attack, even though they had some chances.

After first seven rounds, it’s obvious that Silkeborg is one of the worst teams in the league, having suffered five defeats and managing to get only two draws in that time. They are at the bottom of the table and also aiming a positive result today, since the team needs to do something here in order to hope for more brighter future. They improved their morale a bit with a 9:0 victory over amateur side Aabyhoj few days after their defeat against Randers.

Their coach Sorensen won’t be able to count at first choice goalkeeper Thomas Norgaard (5/0), as well as striker Jeppe Okkels (2/0), both out due injury.

    Silkeborg have failed to win their last 19 matches (Superliga).

Sonderjyske didn’t start the season in a good way, but there’s no doubt for me that the team has much more quality than their visitors. They need just to click a bit better here and the team will be able to get convincing victory, easier than the bookies predict.

Anderlecht vs Charleroi

Anderlecht didn’t manage to get the victory last time out, even though they had the lead twice during the match and all the way till second minute of additional time at home against Gent. However, even though they were unlucky to concede the goal so late, it must be said that their opponents were superior during the match and fully deserved the equalizer.

They took the lead from the penalty kick taken by Tielemans in 19th, but Simon leveled up the scoreline just two minutes later, while Teodorczyk brought them back to lead in second minute of second halftime, just to see his team staying without two points with a goal from Asare. With two victories and three draws, they are now only seventh, four points below leading Waregem. The team made big signings in last days of the transfer window, but the players will be introduced slowly to the first team for sure.

Home side continue to miss left full back Obradovic who didn’t play in the season yet, as well as defender Appiah (3/0), midfielders Najar (no performance also) and Dendoncker (5/0), but also forward Kawaya (no playing minute in the season also). They should be playing in 4-2-3-1 formation this time out, with Teodorczyk (4/3) at the top of attack.


Charleroi showed two faces against Eupen at home two weeks before, as the team took comfortably 3:0 lead within first thirty-five minutes (goals from Willems and two from Pollet), but then paid the price of being to passive in the match and got reduced to 3:2 in 45th with an own goal and in the first minute of the second halftime with a goal from Onyekuru.

Eupen continued pushing for the equalizer, but fortunately for Charleroi it never came. Players of Charleroi are experiencing a great start in the new season, since the team has three victories and two draws, as they were leaders of the table after the previous round has ended. It surely gives them some morale boost, but the team is far away from something impressive in the season.

Charleroi will be playing here without goalkeeper Baume (0/0), defenders Poulain (0/0) and Marinos (0/0), but also midfielder Saglik (4/0) and forward Stevance (0/0). They should be playing in 4-2-3-1 formation with Pollet as central striker for the visiting team.

Visiting side did well so far in the season, but I expect the things to go south for them starting from this match. Anderlecht is much more quality side looking at individuals and after international break and more time for the players to get to know each other, I expect them to start playing more as a team and start climbing up the table.

Liverpool vs Leicester City

Liverpool started their Premier League campaign with an impressive 4-3 away victory over Arsenal at the Emirates. When everyone thought this is going to be a productive season for the Reds, they were seen out of sorts against the newly promoted Burnley and ended up losing 2-0. And just before the international break, they went to Tottenham and returned with the share of the spoils after earning a hard fought 1-1. If one has to summarize Liverpool’s performance in the opening three weeks of the new season, it must be ‘inconsistent’.
While Leicester City were dealt a huge blow in the opening day of the season as they lost 2-1 to the newly promoted Hull City, who had all sorts of problems on and off the field. In the subsequent week, they drew blank with Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal. They finally got their first win of the season at the expense of Swansea City. Claudio Ranieri’s hardly look like the team that won the 2015/16 Premier League title. Also a similar feat like last season is least expected from them. But they need to start getting out in the field without the burden of expectation.

Liverpool vs Leicester City: Head-to-Head

Liverpool were one of the two teams that defeated Leicester City in the 2015/16 Premier League season, with the other side being Arsenal. Liverpool won at home by a 1-0 margin, but they lost the match at Leicester 2-0.
Liverpool will go into this match on the back of a five match unbeaten run against Leicester at Anfield, with 4 wins and a draw.

Liverpool vs Leicester City: Prediction

Both teams are coming into the match in a similar form are stay close in the Premier League standings with 4 points from the three matches. They will be keen to get a win here and judging by the performances in the opening weeks, this match could go either way. I will avoid betting on a winner here, I rather look at the goal markets.
Liverpool have plenty of problems at the back and failed to keep clean sheet in each of their three matches this season. While Leicester have also given plenty of easy chances in each of their matches. So looking at their attacking strength, this match could produce over 2.5 goals.

Liverpool vs Leicester City: Betting Tips

Both Teams to Score at 4/5 (1.80)
Over 2.5 goals at 8/11 (1.73).

PSG vs St Etienne

Is PSG coach Unai Emery already under pressure? The champions have lost already in Ligue 1 when they went down 3-1 against Monaco in their last game. They also have an interesting Champions League match against Arsenal next week which follows this match. But for now all eyes will be on PSG and how they can bounce back. They have of course lost David Luiz to Chelsea but Emery was set in his mind before the transfer that Luiz was not going to be part of PSG’s future plans anyway. Before the disaster at Monaco the club had kept clean sheets in their two opening games and the focus here will be to put in a professional job.
St Etienne have won 1 drawn 1 and lost 1 since the beginning of the season. The good news is that they have gone the last two games unbeaten although their last match was seen as a disappointment as they drew 0-0 with Toulouse at home.

PSG v St Etienne Head to Head

The recent head to head does not make easy reading for the away team where they have lost to PSG in the last five games. PSG have scored 9 goals in their last two home fixtures against Etienne conceding just a single goal. From the last ten fixtures there is a 50/50 chance of over 2.5 goals. From the last six fixtures PSG have only failed once to score at least 2 goals in this match.

PSG v St Etienne: Prediction

PSG have never been a great team when they have had a Champions League match looming just days after a league one. But they have significantly improved their mental strength through the years and they should be able to win this match. That doesn’t mean it will be with a big margin though. Etienne has proven that they are no pushovers and will have chances and possession at times, but PSG will just be too strong and should round up all three points with a professional if unspectacular victory.

PSG v St Etienne: Betting Tips

PSG to score at least 2 goals at 4/11 (1.36)
Jese to score anytime for PSG at 7/5.

They finished top of their group with 7 points, winning 2 of the group stage games which includes a 1-0 win against Turkey. They were unfortunate to lose to Portugal in the 2nd round. Quaresma’s extra time goal was enough to kick Croatia out of the competition. They now hope to produce a good performance at home to start this campaign with a win.

Turkey left the European championship early, after losing two games in the groups stages which include a 1-0 loss to Croatia.
