08-28-23 | Steaua Bucharesti v. UTA Arad OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
Rotation #206817: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in UTA vs FCSB @ 2:30 ET - I am well aware that FCSB is missing a couple players for this match. However, this club from Bucuresti is one of the deeper clubs in the league and their 5-0 start in the league did not happen by accident. This club has depth and talent and will be dangerous on the road in this one as they are favored with good reason. The fact is that UTA is much better than their record would lead you to believe. They have only 1 win this season but UTA is a tough club and will be particularly tough on their home pitch. I look for them to score at least once here and even if that is all they get it should still should be enough for an over as FCSB likely to get the win and it would be a 2-1 final. No matter how it gets there (I do not like the side here) I am expecting at least 3 goals and honestly a 2-2 draw would not shock me in the least. Note that UTA has allowed 2.7 goals in last 3 losses but did win most recent home match 1-0. I do not see them shutting down FCSB however and the other 3 recent matches for UTA - all losses - each totaled at least 3 goals. The last 3 meetings between these clubs each have totaled at least 3 goals. Also, FCSB enters this match having scored an average of 2 goals per match in Romania Liga 1 action this season. 10* OVER 2.5 in UTA |

08-28-23 | Universitatea Cluj v. Hermannstadt OVER 2 | Top | 2-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
Rotation #206805: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in Hermannstadt vs Universitatea Cluj @ 11:30 AM ET - Coaching change back to their former coach and I expect Universitatea Cluj to rally behind this move. In other words, expect a strong and aggressive effort from the road club here. However, Hermannstadt is happy to be on their home pitch and will be tough to beat here. The fact we get this total available at just 2 goals is a strong value for over players. Hermannstadt has allowed a goal in all 5 matches this season but also scored 2 goals in their most recent home match. Also, the last meeting between these clubs totaled 3 goals. As for Universitatea Cluj, their last 8 matches in Romania Liga 1 action - including all 6 this season - have totaled at least 2 goals. Those 8 matches have averaged totaling 3.5 goals apiece and they have both scored and conceded in 6 of last 7 matches. 10* OVER 2 in Hermannstadt |

08-27-23 | CS U Craiova v. Farul Constanta 1920 OVER 2.75 | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -111 | 10 h 38 m | Show |
Rotation #206813: Romania Liga 1: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Farul vs Universitatea Craiova @ 2:30 ET - Universitatea Craiova can move into first place with a win here. But this match is in Constanta. The home pitch for Farul is traditionally kind to them and they are the defending champs. They want the win here for sure as they look to get back on track this season and prevent Universitatea Craiova from moving into first place. From that standpoint, there is a lot of motivation for the hosts here but they also have allowed 2 goals per match this season and Universitatea Craiova is scoring an average of 2 goals per match this season. There is a reason this total is set at a solid 2.5 as the fact is there should be a lot of scoring. Farul is having troubles defending this season but they will also be hungry on the attack in this match. No club in the 16-club league has allowed fewer goals (2) than Universitatea Craiova has so far this season. That said, this total may surprise you but the reality is this match has 2-1, at least, written all over it. There will be goals in this one! Proud home team defending champs and a visiting club playing some of their best football in a long time. This one will be entertaining. 10* OVER 2.5 in Farul |

08-27-23 | Liverpool v. Newcastle United OVER 3 | Top | 2-1 | Push | 0 | 6 h 4 m | Show |
Rotation #200117: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 3 goals -135 in Newcastle United vs Liverpool @ 11:30 AM ET - Newcastle United happy to be back home where they are known for scoring well and that includes their 5-1 win to open up this season. Now, coming off a disappointing loss, look for the hosts to be aggressive to quickly pick up where they left off in week 1 by being aggressive on the attack. Facing a Liverpool club with some shakiness at the backline will help the cause here for the hosts. However, also note that the Reds are off a high-scoring win and they certainly have the talent to come up big on the attack. Liverpool also has a great history of success against Newcastle and has been scoring plenty in recent meetings between these teams. Liverpool could have scored much more in the season opener versus Chelsea that ended 1-1 and their other recent matches across all competitions have reflected their scoring prowess just as the match against the Blues should have reflected the same. That said, don't be surprised if each club gets to 2 goals in this one and don't let the big number on this total scare you. 10* OVER 3 -135 in Newcastle |

08-27-23 | Aston Villa v. Burnley OVER 2.5 | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 3 m | Show |
Rotation #200113: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Burnley vs Aston Villa @ 9 AM ET - Like the fact Burnley is at home and rested and ready here with fresh legs. As for Aston Villa they bounced back from a 5-1 drubbing to open the EPL season with a huge 4-0 thrashing in their favor in Week 2. They then parlayed that momentum with a 5-0 win in continental action as well so they are rolling and goals are flying after they hammered Hibernian. That said, Aston Villa can continue to be aggressive here as they have a safe 5-0 edge in that Europa Conference League action. Aston Villa will be focused here and that means we should see plenty of scoring from them again in this one but do note that their top goalie, Emiliano Martinez, is dealing with a minor injury. The hosts will take advantage and I expect them to get on the board but Aston Villa also favored with good reason so I am looking for at least a 2-1 final here. 10* OVER 2.5 in Burnley |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Petrolul 52 v. Dinamo Bucuresti OVER 2.25 | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -53.5 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
Rotation #206997: Romania Liga 1: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Dinamo Bucuresti vs Petrolul Ploiesti @ 2:45 ET - Both clubs playing with a lot of confidence and off high-scoring wins. Each club undefeated last 3 matches. Dinamo has scored an average of 1.7 goals per match in their 3 matches this month and they are off a 3-2 win last week and have an edge in playing for the 3rd straight week in the Bucuresti metro area! Petrolul Ploiesti has won 3 straight matches and scored an average of 3 goals per match during this hot streak. Petro is off a 4-3 win last week. This is a rivalry between the Red Dogs and the Yellow Wolves and neither club will be willing to settle for a share of the spoils and I also can not envision a match in which one of the clubs does not score. That said, this one has all the makings of at least a 2-1 final the way I see it and we have good value with the over in this one! 10* OVER 2.5 in Dinamo Bucuresti |
|||||||
08-26-23 | West Ham United v. Brighton & Hove Albion OVER 3.5 | Top | 3-1 | Win | 105 | 7 h 27 m | Show |
Rotation #200105: English Premier League: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 3.5 in Brighton & Hove vs West Ham United @ 12:30 ET - Yes this is a big total but it is set that way for a reason! The fact is that each of these clubs have conceded in each of their first two matches but also each of these teams is scoring extremely well at the other end of the pitch as well. West Ham is averaging 2 goals scored per match and Brighton is, incredibly, double that as they lead the EPL so far with an average of 4 goals scored per match. Not only that, they are at home here so you know they are going to bring their A game for this one and they are playing with so much confidence right now. Both clubs are undefeated so far this season and that can also be dangerous for teams because they can let up a little on the defensive end when they know their attack is capable of bailing them out time and time again. In this case, Brighton will be particularly tough because they are at home but West Ham wants revenge for a 4-0 beating when these clubs last met! Brighton has averaged 3 goals per match in the last 3 meetings between these clubs. Big total but last 14 Brighton matches across all competitions have averaged 4 goals apiece so do not let this big number scare you. As for West Ham, their last 8 matches across all competitions have also averaged 4 goals apiece. 10* OVER 3.5 in Brighton & Hove |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Nottingham Forest v. Manchester United OVER 3 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 13 m | Show |
Rotation #200089: English Premier League: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 or 3 in Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest @ 10 AM ET - Manchester United is off a disappointing loss in which their first half was filled with missed opportunities. They will make up for that here on their home pitch where they are so strong. Nottingham Forest enters this one on the back of 2-1 matches in each of first two matches this season - one a victory and one a loss. The goals should keep flying here. Nottingham Forest is putting more of an emphasis on the attack early this season and their manager wants even more from the final third on the pitch. That said, they will be aggressive here but that will play right into Manchester United's hands. Of course the hosts are a big favorite for a reason and I am looking for them to pull away as this one goes on and would not be surprised to see 4 or 5 goals before this match is all wrapped up. Man U should be getting some players back this week too. They will be strong and this is a confident club when at home. 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in Manchester United |
|||||||
08-25-23 | Luton Town v. Chelsea OVER 2.75 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 50 | 6 h 32 m | Show |
Rotation #200081: English Premier League OVER 2.5 or 3 in Chelsea vs Luton Town @ 3 ET - Chelsea just got rocked last week and they are still seeking their first win of the season. They have wasted great opportunities in each of their first two matches and now will take advantage of a step down in competition as they face newly promoted Luton Town. The key to the over here is two-fold. Not only will Chelsea be relentless on the attack but note that they are still working in a lot of new faces and prone to mistakes and Luton Town has fresh legs as their match last week was postponed. Don't be surprised if the visitors put some pressure on here and get on the board but, of course, the hosts are a big favorite for a reason and ultimately they will pull away for the victory and that means plenty of goals in this one the way I see it so the value way to play this one is in taking a look at the over here. 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in Chelsea |
|||||||
08-25-23 | Rapid Bucuresti v. U Craiova 1948 OVER 2.5 | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show |
Rotation #206809: Romania Liga 1: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in U Craiova 1948 vs Rapid Bucuresti @ 2:30 ET - U Craiova 1948 has had Rapid's number in recent meetings. However, Rapid comes into this one as the much stronger and cohesive club. U Craiova 1948 is going through yet another coaching change after also having one heading into the season. Even with all the turmoil they are at home here and I expect this to lead to goals in this one. That's because the hosts will respond to the coaching change but there is no way I see them slowing down a revenge-minded Rapid club. That said, a 2-1 final is most likely as each club should get on the board but neither club would be content on a draw and a share of the spoils here. Note that U Craiova 1948 has seen 4 of their 6 matches this season total at least 4 goals. Also, 4 of the last 5 matches between these clubs have totaled at least 3 goals. As for Rapid, 4 of their last 5 matches have totaled at least 3 goals and, going back even further, 8 of last 11 have. 10* OVER 2.5 in U Craiova 1948 |

08-24-23 | Ajax Amsterdam v. PFC Ludogorets Razgrad OVER 3 | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 37 m | Show |
Rotation #224413: Europa League | Qualifying, Playoff Round | 1st Leg: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in PFC Ludogorets Razgrad vs Ajax Amsterdam @ 2 ET - Ajax is a very strong club but they also are dealing with injuries at the goalkeeper position. That said, I am looking for a very high-scoring match here. Ajax has seen 4 of last 5 matches total at least 4 goals. PFC Ludogorets Razgrad has seen 4 of last 5 matches total at least 3 goals and those 4 matches did average 4 goals apiece. This one is in Bulgaria and I expect the hosts to enjoy some success but they will also struggle to stop a solid attack as Ajax has shown good resiliency under new management and they have been able to comeback on clubs too. This is one of those matches where no lead is safe, especially considering the goalie situation of Ajax, and I am expecting this to reach a 2-2 type of final even though each going for the key win of course. Each club will likely be aggressive on the attack here looking to earn the upper hand in the 1st Leg of this playoff round battle. 10* OVER 3 in PFC Ludogorets Razgrad |
|||||||
08-24-23 | Aberdeen v. Hacken OVER 3 | Top | 2-2 | Win | 100 | 2 h 46 m | Show |
Rotation #224409: Europa League | Qualifying, Playoff Round | 1st Leg: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in Hacken vs Aberdeen @ 1 ET - The last two meetings between these clubs have averaged 4 goals. The total might seem big but 4 of last 5 Aberdeen matches have totaled at least 3 goals and those 4 matches averaged 4 goals. Also, Hacken has seen 4 of last 5 matches total at least 4 goals and those 4 matches averaged 5 goals. So don't be surprised when we see a lot of scoring in this one based on the current trending of these clubs. Each club will likely be aggressive on the attack here looking to earn the upper hand in the 1st Leg of this playoff round battle. 10* OVER 3 in Hacken |
|||||||
08-23-23 | Young Boys Bern v. Maccabi Haifa OVER 2.5 | Top | 0-0 | Loss | -140 | 11 h 41 m | Show |
Rotation #224213: Champions League | Playoffs | 1st Leg: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -140 in Maccabi Haifa vs Young Boys Bern @ 3 ET - Both these clubs are so strong on the attack. I am looking for a 2-2 final here in the 1st of this battle similar to what we saw in the Rangers/Eindhoven battle last night. The value here of just needing a 3 here for a win is a bargain the way I see it - even at the -140 price. Both these clubs have been scoring plenty of goals but also have not been immune to conceding in their own zone as well. Maccabi Haifa is an Israeli powerhouse and will be aggressive on their home pitch here as they enter this match having scored an average of 3.5 goals in the last 8 victories which have been part of a rock solid 8-1 stretch! As for Young Boys Bern, they have been a strength in Switzerland again and are racking up goals. They are undefeated this season with 2 wins and 2 draws thus far in Swiss Super League action and they averaged scoring 2.5 goals per match during this hot start! They have allowed 1.5 goals in these 4 matches. Also, Maccabi Haifa has allowed a goal in 5 straight matches. So the set up here is perfect for at least a 2-1 final as I look for the Young Boys from Bern to also be aggressive here on the road in hopes of stealing a match on the road in the 1st Leg of this battle. 10* OVER 2.5 -140 in Maccabi Haifa |
|||||||
08-23-23 | Panathinaikos v. Sporting Braga OVER 2 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
Rotation #224217: Champions League | Playoffs | 1st Leg: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -140 in Sporting Braga vs Panathinaikos @ 3 ET - I know the over 2.5 at plus money is very appealing but I prefer the security of the over 2 goals even at a -140 price in case this one lands on two goals. Certainly I am expecting 3 or more as Sporting Braga comes in hot and scoring plenty while Panathinaikos have an edge in that their domestic campaign in Greece has not yet begun so they have been able to fully focus on the continental battles in Europe plus they have the fresher legs here. Of course Sporting Braga has the home pitch edge in this first leg opener and they have been scoring very well both in continental battles and in their early season domestic action in Portugal. Overall, Sporting Braga has scored an average of 3 goals per match their last 4 matches. Panathinaikos has scored 1.8 goals per match last 4 matches and neither club has been shutout in any of its last 5 matches. Look for that trend of each club scoring to continue here in this one! 10* OVER 2 -140 in Sporting Braga |

08-22-23 | PSV Eindhoven v. Rangers OVER 2.5 | Top | 2-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
Rotation #224205: Champions League | Playoffs | 1st Leg: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals -115 in Rangers FC vs PSV Eindhoven @ 3 ET - These clubs, ironically, also met last August and the Rangers hung on to win 3-2 on the aggregate and advance. This is a tough Eindhoven club out for revenge and will do everything they can to get the edge on the road in this one. However, Rangers will be tough at home and last year the 1st Leg finished a 2-2 match and I would not be surprised at all to see a repeat. Eindhoven is so strong up front but is dealing with injury concerns on the back line. You know the Rangers will be pumped at home in Glasgow, Scotland and will look to take full advantage of that but this Eindhoven club playing with revenge is going to be tough to stop. This entire set-up should lead to plenty of goals here. The Rangers have scored 2.2 goals per match in their last 9 matches across all competitions. Eindhoven has averaged scoring 2.3 goals per match over their last dozen matches across all competitions. Looking for a 2-2, or at least, 2-1 type of match here. 10* OVER 2.5 -115 in Rangers FC |
|||||||
08-22-23 | AEK Athens v. Antwerp OVER 2.5 | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 54 m | Show |
Rotation #224291: Champions League | Playoffs | 1st Leg: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +105 in Royal Antwerp vs AEK Athens @ 3 ET - Antwerp has injuries at the goalie position and the back line. This is not a good combo when facing an Athens club rolling with confidence after a huge comeback victory. However, the issue for Athens is also a propensity for allowing goals. So, while their attack is confident and should enjoy success here considering the circumstances for Antwerp guarding the cage, the fact is that Athens is going to struggle to stop Antwerp from having success on their home pitch on the attack. The hosts definitely want to get the edge before heading to Athens for the 2nd Leg of this one and I feel strongly that all of the above sets the stage for a very entertaining battle in this one. Also, 5 straight Athens matches have totaled at least 3 goals and Antwerp has scored at least 1 goals in 7 straight matches as a host and has averaged scoring 2.3 goals per match in those 7 on their home pitch. More of the same here. 10* OVER 2.5 +105 in Royal Antwerp |
|||||||
08-21-23 | Arsenal v. Crystal Palace OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 22 m | Show |
Rotation #200077: English Premier League: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Crystal Palace vs Arsenal @ 3 ET - Crystal Palace off a 1-0 win but should have had much more. Even against a tough Arsenal club that really took the London Derby matches seriously last season, I do expect Palace to score at least once. However, Arsenal is certainly favored here with good reason and they did score an average of 2 goals per match on the road last season! In other words, you can see why I am fully expecting a 2-1 type match here. Adding to the support for this one is that Arsenal is off a 2-1 win and has scored an average of 2.2 goals in last 4 matches across all competitions. Crystal Palace has scored at least 1 goal in 7 straight matches across all competitions and has actually averaged 2 goals scored per match during this stretch. Also, the last 5 meetings between these two have averaged 3.6 goals and 4 of the 5 totaled at least 3 goals. This one is set up perfectly to get to at least 3 as well because both clubs are off games where they should have had much more and Arsenal was up 2-0 and took their foot off the gas and it nearly cost them in the 2-1 final so I feel the visitors will force a very aggressive style here as a result. 10* OVER 2.5 in Crystal Palace |
|||||||
08-21-23 | CFR Cluj v. Universitatea Cluj OVER 2 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
Rotation #206961: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -120 in Universitatea Cluj vs CFR Cluj @ 2:30 ET - Even though we have to lay some extra juice to have the over 2 goals it is a big value to have the over set at 2 goals in a match in the Romania Liga 1 action. So far this season, 33 of 43 matches have totaled at least 2 goals! Also, all 5 Universitatea Cluj matches so far this season have totaled at least 2 goals. Additionally, prior to a 1-0 loss to FCSB last week, 5 straight CFR Cluj matches across all competitions had totaled at least 2 goals! This is a rivalry match with these two clubs from Cluj certainly not liking one another but that didn't stop goals from being scored last season as the first meeting totaled 3 goals and then the next one topped that at 4 goals! You can see why I am expecting each club to score at least once here and then, in terms of a draw, note that CFR Cluj has had just one this season in four matches. Last season, in the regular season portion of 30 matches, CFR Cluj had just 3 draws. Being a rivalry, neither club wants to just settle for a draw either. You can see why, as a result, I am expecting a 2-1 type of match here. 10* OVER 2 goals -120 in Universitatea Cluj |

08-21-23 | Hermannstadt v. Sepsi OVER 2 | Top | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 6 h 27 m | Show |
Rotation #206969: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -115 in Sepsi vs Hermannstadt @ 11:30 AM ET - Even though Sepsi has not been allowing many goals in league action and is off a 1-0 win in Europa Conference League action, that most recent win was preceded by B2B 1-1 draws in Sepsi's last two matches across all competitions. Overall, Sepsi has scored at least 1 goal in 7 straight matches across all competitions and has averaged 2 goals scored in last 6 matches. That said, the value of a 2 as the posted total on this one is big. I certainly do not expect a rested Hermannstadt club to be complacent here as their match last week was postponed so they have fresh legs for this one and they are off a 1-0 shutout loss that was preceded by B2B wins in which they scored a combined 5 goals. Overall though, Hermannstadt has allowed at least 1 goal in 5 straight matches. So they bounce back on the attack here but also struggle to contain Sepsi. Also note that each of the last 5 matches between these clubs has seen each club score at least 1 goal in every single match and these 5 matches have averaged 3 goals apiece. More of the same on tap here given the unique scheduling situation too. 10* OVER 2 goals -115 in Sepsi |

08-20-23 | CSMS Iasi v. Steaua Bucharesti OVER 2.75 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 50 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
Rotation #206989: Romania Liga 1: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -125 in FCSB vs Poli Iasi @ 2:30 ET - FCSB is 4-0 this season and scoring an average of 2 goals per match. Poli Iasi has lost 4 of 5 matches so this is a classic case of hot versus not in this one. Poli Iasi is in the basement of the league standings but at least they have mostly provided entertaining matches for those of us that enjoy a lot of scoring. 3 of last 4 matches have totaled at least 4 goals. Also, if you like historical value, in the last 5 matches between these teams over the past 5 years, all 5 have totaled at least 3 goals and those matches have averaged 4 goals apiece. More of the same likely here as FCSB should be relentless on their home pitch after they just got knocked out of the Europa Conference League qualifiers. Having struggled in those matches against FC Nordsjaelland, note this did follow a stretch in which they had averaged scoring 2 goals per match their last 6 across all competitions. They will bounce back here but also note that Poli Iasi has scored at least 1 goal in 3 of last 4 matches as they have adjusted to life in the top tier after their promotion for this season. They still lose here but whether it is 2-1 or 3-1 or even a 3-0 shutout, I am expecting at least 3 goals in this one given the hunger of FCSB here. 10* OVER 2.5 -125 in FCSB |

08-20-23 | Chelsea v. West Ham United OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 42 m | Show |
Rotation #200073: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in West Ham United vs Chelsea @ 11:30 AM ET - Both clubs are coming off 1-1 draws last week in which each club definitely felt (and it is true!) that they deserved better. That said, you you are going to see an extra push from each club in this one plus, keep in mind, Chelsea lost a key defender to injury as Reece James got hurt. Chelsea was more aggressive in their style against Liverpool last week and deserved more than a draw and the possession battle also was won by West Ham in their match last week. The Hammers are now at home and will be even more determined here and they have a good history of scoring goals on their home pitch as it is has been a long time since they have failed to make the net ripple on their home pitch. At the same time, Chelsea is favored with good reason of course. That said, looking for at least a 2-1 final here. Chelsea's last 5 matches across all competitions averaged 1.8 goals apiece. West Ham has seen their last 5 matches across all competitions average a total of 4.4 goals. Don't be surprised if this one indeed gets to 4 goals but certainly 3 is a strong probability. 10* OVER 2.5 in West Ham United |

08-20-23 | Farul Constanta 1920 v. Rapid Bucuresti OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
Rotation #206973: Romania Liga 1 Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -105 in Rapid Bucuresti vs Farul Constanta @ 11:15 AM ET - Rapid got hammered 7-2 in the last meeting between these clubs. They enter this match struggling and Farul comes in confident after knocking off Flora by a combined 5-0 count to advance in the Europa Conference League qualifiers. Farul has scored an average of 2.6 goals per match last 7 matches across all competitions. However, they also have conceded 3 goals in each of last two matches in Romania Liga 1 action. As for Rapid, they are off a 2-0 loss to Petrolul Ploiesti but, prior to this had scored an average of 2 goals per match in the 3 matches before that. The hosts will be strong here on their home pitch and asking for at least a 2-1 final here is really not asking too much. Farul has not had a draw yet and I expect each club to score so, outside of a draw (of which Farul has not had one), this one is indeed getting to a 2-1 final at a minimum. 10* OVER 2.5 -105 in Rapid Bucuresti |

08-19-23 | Dinamo Bucuresti v. Voluntari OVER 2.25 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show |
Rotation #206977: Romania Liga 1: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +125 in FC Voluntari vs Dinamo Bucuresti @ 2:45 ET - It use to be that Dinamo dominated this series with Voluntari. However, Voluntari is surely favored for a reason here in their home venue, a suburb of Bucuresti where Dinamo plays. So Voluntari may not even have a true home edge here but I like the fact that they are off a 3-1 loss. They have been playing better this season and dating back to the way they wrapped up last season and this is a confident group that can score goals. However, Dinamo has scored an average of 2 goals per match in the last 5 meetings between these clubs. Also, Dinamo has some added confidence here coming off their first win of the new campaign. Off that win last week, Dinamo brings a little extra edge to this one but they had allowed an average of 2 goals per match in their first 4 matches this season. Voluntari has seen 4 of their 5 matches total at least 3 goals this season so don't let this total of 2.5 keep you away. The plus money on this total at 2.5 is a nice added bonus and their 5 matches this season have averaged 3.4 goals apiece. Indeed, we should see 3 or 4 goals scored here. 10* OVER 2.5 +125 in FC Voluntari |

Rotation #200061: English Premier League: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 3 goals in Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United @ 12:30 ET - Tottenham is playing an attacking style under new management. That is why, even though Harry Kane is gone and went to Bayern in Germany, the Hotspur can still be expected to score plenty of goals. One thing that is not impressive about Tottenham is their back line. They allowed 2 goals last week and I expect more struggles this week. Although Manchester United is off a 1-0 victory last week, they allowed many attacking chances and arguably should have conceded a late penalty kick that was not awarded either. The point is that Man U is off a 1-0 win but should have allowed some scoring. At the same time, they are well aware of the new style of Tottenham and will look to take advantage here by being aggressive with their own attack in this one. We'll ride these edges in a match that would not surprise me if it ended up another 2-2 draw involving the Hotspur. This is their new style and Man U, by virtue of being on the road for this one, will struggle to try and change the flow of this one and they know they will be better suited doing plenty of attacking of their own. As a result, we should see a very high-scoring match here. 10* OVER 3 in Tottenham |

08-18-23 | Sheffield United v. Nottingham Forest OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 122 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
Rotation #200041: English Premier League: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals +120 in Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United @ 2:45 ET - Excellent line value here because Sheffield United allowed only 1 goal last week but they allowed 24 shots and the damage could have been much worse. As for Nottingham Forest they allowed 2 goals early in their match and then the Arsenal club that led them big simply took their foot off the gas. The point is that both these clubs could have given up more last week and we have a great value with a low total in a match I am pegging for, at a minimum, a 2-1 final. Sheffield will be much more aggressive on the attack after a dismal effort in their first match but this will expose them to the counterattack and the newly promoted side will struggle to stop the hosts here. Remember that Nottingham Forest was very strong on their home pitch last season. That continues here. There has not been a clean sheet in any of the last four meetings between these clubs. Also, the last two meetings each totaled 3 goals. Look for a similar 2-1 result here. 10* OVER 2.5 goals +120 in Nottingham Forest |
|||||||
08-18-23 | UTA Arad v. CS U Craiova OVER 2.5 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show |
Rotation #206981: Romania Liga 1: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals in Universitatea Craiova vs UTA @ 2:30 ET - UTA manager Mircea Rednic is expecting a wide open match here. I am expecting plenty of scoring here because the confidence of Universitatea Craiova is also growing week by week. They have now won B2B matches and are coming off a 4-1 win over Poli Iasi. They have won 3 matches and drawn 2 this season and the hosts, other than one scoreless draw, have averaged scoring 2 goals per match in their other 4 matches! UTA has an unimpressive record but they come into this match well-rested and they are a dangerous dog for Universitatea Craiova to face here. Don't be surprised if UTA puts the pressure on the hosts early in this one. The two meetings last season each totaled 3 goals and they have scored at least 1 goal in all 4 matches this season. Also, prior to a shutout win in their most recent match two weeks ago, UTA had allowed an average of 2 goals per match in the first three matches this season. Of course, Universitatea Craiova is a huge favorite for a reason here. UTA, dating back to last season also, has scored at least 1 goal in 5 straight matches and 10 of last 11. Look for at least a 2-1 final here given all of the above. 10* OVER 2.5 goals in Universitatea Craiova |

08-17-23 | Astana v. PFC Ludogorets Razgrad OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show |
Rotation #224449: Europa League | Third Qualifying Round | 2nd Leg: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Ludogorets Razgrad vs Astana @ 2 ET - The hosts are down 2-1 in this one after dropping the first leg at Astana. That means Razgrad must be aggressive on the attack here but they also did blow a 1-0 lead at Astana in the first leg. The fact Astana outscored them 2-0 after being down 1-0 gives the visitors plenty of confidence here. They will be able to attack with confidence. As for Razgrad, they will have the feeling no lead is safe. That means they should continue to pile it on if given the opportunity and, of course, they are a big home favorite here for a reason. If the hosts get up 2-0 they would still be just 1 goal conceded from being tied up again on the aggregate. That said, I expect the hosts to be relentless on the attack but that will allow the visitors the opportunity to find the back of the net at least once also. Looking for at least a 2-1 final here in this one as a result. 10* OVER 2.5 in Ludogorets Razgrad |
|||||||
08-17-23 | Qarabag FK v. HJK Helsinki OVER 2.5 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 10 m | Show |
Rotation #224443: Europa League | Third Qualifying Round | 2nd Leg: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Helsinki vs Qarabag @ Noon ET - The hosts are down 2-1 in this one after dropping the first leg at Qarabag. That means Helsinki must be aggressive on the attack here but they have issues with injuries to their backline and at goalkeeper. Qarabag has been scoring well in recent action with putting 2 or more goals on the board in 5 of last 7 matches across all competitions. However, Helsinki should score their fair share here at home as well as they must go for it and they have a respectable offensive attack as well. Looking for at least a 2-1 final here in this one as a result. 10* OVER 2.5 in Helsinki |
|||||||
08-16-23 | Sevilla v. Manchester City OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -145 | 9 h 3 m | Show |
2023 UEFA Super Cup Wednesday OVER 2.5 goals -145 in Manchester City vs Sevilla @ 3 ET - Manchester City got their confidence rolling again with an easy 3-0 win over Burnley to open up the new Premier League season. However, they certainly want to also carry that momentum right into this match and earn some more hardware by knocking off Sevilla in a battle for the UEFA Super Cup! The fact is, however, Sevilla is known for being a tough customer in these European competitions. Manchester City is certainly well aware of this but they have dominated recent meetings and should leave no doubt here. Each of the last 4 meetings between these clubs have totaled at least 3 goals and the 2 that were just this past season in Champions League action each totaled 4 goals! More of the same likely here as Sevilla has some issues with their back line right now but also has scored at least 1 goal in 12 straight matches across all competitions. Of course, City is favored here for a reason. So, given the above, you can see why I am expecting a 2-1 or 3-1 type match here. Also, if it is Manchester City's night and everything falls into place, don't be surprised if they get to this total all by themselves. They have scored an average of 3 goals in the last 4 meetings between these clubs. OVER 2.5 -145 in Manchester City (this match will be played at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus, Greece) |

08-15-23 | AEK Athens v. Dinamo Zagreb OVER 2 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 15 m | Show |
Rotation #224221: Champions League | Third Qualifying Round | 1st Leg: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -125 in Dinamo Zagreb vs AEK Athens @ 2 ET - This is a first leg match because the original one was postponed. Now the teams are meeting for the first leg in Croatia instead of Greece. Dinamo Zagreb is certainly favored here for a reason but there be plenty of passion from the travelers as Athens will have plenty of intensity after what transpired in Greece that forced the postponement of the match. That said, I feel we have strong odds of at least a 2-1 final here. The match alignments this two clubs are talking about heading into this one also will be conducive to attacking options and counterattacking. The fact there is some 2 out there on this one is certainly an added bonus that is too good to pass up. That means we need 2 goals to insure we do not suffer a loss in this one and certainly I like the odds on that given the situation here as well as the attacking capabilities of each of these clubs. 10* OVER 2 goals -125 |

08-15-23 | FC Copenhagen v. AC Sparta Prague OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 36 m | Show |
Rotation #224209: Champions League | Third Qualifying Round | 2nd Leg: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals -105 in Sparta Prague vs Copenhagen @ 1 ET - The first match finished 0-0 despite Copenhagen having 16 shots (3 on goal) in the match. Now the second leg is in Prague and I look for the hosts to perform much better here as a result but I also look for a determined Copenhagen club to be even more aggressive. That means plenty of scoring here and this, being the second leg of this qualifying round fixture, should see at least a 2-1 final as neither club wants to risk the match being decided after the regular 90 minutes plus injury time. Copenhagen has scored 11 goals and allowed 4 in its 4 league matches thus far. Prague also rolling with 13 goals scored and 3 allowed in its first matches in its league action. Couple of confident attacks going at it here and this one will play out much differently than the scoreless meeting in the first one. 10* OVER 2.5 -105 in Sparta Prague |

08-14-23 | Wolverhampton Wanderers v. Manchester United OVER 3 | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
Rotation #200037: English Premier League: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 or 3 in Manchester United vs Wolverhampton @ 3 ET - Manchester United known for staunch defense, particularly at home. Wolverhampton known for struggling to score goals on the road. However, in the summer matches leading into the new season, Manchester United has conceded at least 1 goal in 5 straight. Also, the Maguire situation has distracted this club in preparing for the season in my opinion. Speaking of distractions, the Wolves making a coaching change in the final period of days before the season gets underway is certainly also a distraction. That said, I look for some extra scoring opportunities in this one due to the distractions each clubs has faced. Of course Manchester United is favored to win this match by 2 goals for a reason and, at the same time, I do not expect them to complete a clean sheet here. That said, Man U wins this 3-1 the way I see it or - at least - that is the type of match I am expecting here and we'll side with the over in this one. Wolverhampton will have a different approach with Gary O'Neil now at the helm for this club. We'll see goals here and the Wolves do have some momentum after the 3-1 victory that wrapped up their summer period as well. 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in Manchester United |

Rotation #206941: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals +120 in Dinamo Bucuresti vs FC Botosani @ 1:30 ET - Dinamo last 6 matches, including the first 4 this season, have totaled an average of 4 goals per match. Botosani last 5 matches, including the first 4 this season, have totaled an average of 3 goals per match. Each of last 4 meetings between these clubs have totaled at least 3 goals and those 4 matches averaged 4 goals apiece. 10* OVER 2.5 goals +120 in Dinamo |

Rotation #206957: Romania Liga 1: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +100 in Rapid Bucuresti vs Petrolul Ploiesti @ 2:30 ET - Rapid needs to respond at home off a loss to Voluntari last week. However, it will not be easy against Petro. It is just hard to trust Rapid here as they have allowed 2 goals in each of their last two matches. However, Petro is in the same boat with having allowed 2 goals in each of last two matches. Overall, Petro as conceded at least once in all 4 matches this season. However, they also are off a match in which they scored 3 times and they have only been shutout once this season. You can see why I am looking for goals here given the recent performances of these clubs. Also, the last time these teams met here in Bucuresti it was a 3-1 win for Rapid. I am looking for a 2-1 type match here at the very least. 10* over 2.5 +100 in Rapid Bucuresti |

Rotation #200033: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 or 3 in Chelsea vs Liverpool @ 11:30 AM ET - The last 4 meetings between these clubs have all ended 0-0...so...give me the Over BIG in this one! Not kidding. Not only has there NEVER been a match-up between two English clubs that has been scoreless in 5 straight meetings in all the many many years of Football in England, there is also plenty of reason to expect big changes in this meeting. Chelsea has a new manager and is off a disappointing campaign. Liverpool also off a disappointing finish, by their standards, and made a lot of personnel changes in the off-season. The result is that both clubs showed plenty of defensive lapses in their summer matches leading into the new season and also both clubs showed some great positive signs of being ultra-dangerous on the attack! The result should be a surprisingly wide open match here in which each team finds the back of the net multiple times. Indeed, I am expecting a 2-2 type match here that could even get to 3-2 or more. 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in Chelsea |

08-12-23 | CS U Craiova v. CSMS Iasi OVER 2.25 | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 33 m | Show |
Rotation #206949: Romania Liga 1 Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -150 in Poli Iasi vs Universitatea Craiova @ 2:30 ET - We have to lay some extra juice to have the over 2 goals here but 2 is a key number in soccer, particularly in Romanian matches. Poli Iasi has allowed 7 goals in 4 matches this season but they are at home here. Before being shutout 1-0 on the road last week they had scored an average of 2 goals per match in their 2 matches preceding that one. Universitatea Craiova is also off a 1-0 result last week but they were on the right side of that one. However, with both clubs off rare 1-0 matches last week, I look for normal higher-scoring results to resume immediately. Universitatea Craiova is scoring an average of 1 goal per match this season and they have scored an average of 2.6 goals per match in the last 5 meetings with Poli Iasi in Liga 1 action in recent seasons. This total may surprise some folks but I feel strongly it is priced this way for a reason. Universitatea Craiova will be a confident club coming off a win but Poli Iasi should bounce back at home too as they have mostly been on the road this season and they lost their only home match this season 3-1. Look for another high-scoring match here. 10* OVER 2 goals -150 in Poli Iasi |

Rotation #200025: English Premier League Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -130 in Newcastle United vs Aston Villa @ 12:30 ET - These teams met in Philly in a summer friendly and the match was 3-3. Of course this is a regular season match and will play out somewhat differently yet what we are seeing is that both these clubs are capable of being very dangerous on the attack. Some of the offseason additions that Aston Villa has made has really strengthened them. Also, Newcastle United is known for being typically strong on the attack when they are on their home pitch as they are here. The hosts enter this one having scored an average of 2.6 goals per match in their last 5 matches across all competitions leading into this one. Aston Villa has scored 2.8 goals per match int their last 4 matches all competitions. I feel strongly both clubs score here and at least one club gets to 2 goals when you consider all the numbers above. So look for at least a 2-1 final in this one. Before that 3-3 match in Philly over the summer, also note that the last two regular season meetings in the 2022-23 EPL campaign were 3-0 and 4-0 finals. Another meeting gets to at least 3 goals here. 10* OVER 2.5 -130 in Newcastle United |

Rotation #200001: English Premier League Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 or 3 in Burnley vs Manchester City @ 3 ET - City was the best team in the world last season. Burnley was the best team in the league below the Premier League. Now Burnley is right back up in the EPL after being relegated the season before last. This Burnley team is a completely different club now then they used to be. Their manager actually is a former start of Man City and last season he led them to score the most goals in their league. With that attacking style and the fact they are playing at home here, they certainly should manage to score at least 1 goal here. However, City is certainly and rightfully favored with good reason. These guys are good and are strong and they often have exploded for huge goal totals against teams that play the style Burnley is expected to play here. That said, this one should fly over the total and I will not hesitate to get involved in the first match of the new season. 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in Burnley |

08-11-23 | Voluntari v. U Craiova 1948 OVER 2.25 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show |
Rotation #206933: Romania Liga 1 Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +100 in U Craiova 1948 vs FC Voluntari @ 1:30 ET - Expect each team to score at least 1 goal as Voluntari allowing 1.5 goals per match and U Craiova 1948 allowing 2 goals per match. Do not expect a draw as neither one has had one so far in 4 matches apiece. This explains the expectation of at least a 2-1 final here. Adding to the value is U Craiova 1948 just won their first match of the season and Voluntari just got their biggest win of the season as they defeated previously unbeaten Rapid. Each of the Voluntari players got bonuses because of the big win last week. Couple that with U Craiova 1948 also so happy as they finally got a win last week and you have the set up for plenty of goals here. Both teams have attacking confidence but also both clubs likely left their defensive intensity behind at last week's matches. This is perfect set up for goals! 10* OVER 2.5 in U Craiova 1948 |

Rotation #224417: Europa League | Third Qualifying Round | 1st Leg: Thursday OVER 2.5 +110 in Sheriff Tiraspol vs BATE Borisov @ 1 PM ET - Most of the goals in recent Sheriff Tiraspol matches came in the added extra time but it still shows the potential for high-scoring action involving this Moldovan club. Not only that, they are now matched up with a club from Belarus that is known for high-scoring action in these qualifying matches - whether Champions League or Europa League. Their 4 matches this summer have averaged 5 goals apiece and more of the same is likely here as they have scored an average of 2 goals in their last 4 matches but also allowed at least 5 goals in back to back matches. You know the hosts here are well aware of this and will be on the attack from the get go in this one! OVER 2.5 +110 in Sheriff Tiraspol |

Rotation #224405: Europa League | Third Qualifying Round | 1st Leg: Thursday OVER 2.5 in Qarabag vs Helsinki @ Noon ET - Qarabag off a 1-1 draw with Raków Czestochowa that ended your hopes of a Championship League spot. However, they are going for it in the Europa League and are favored here for a reason for sure. By the way, their last 4 matches before that all totaled at least 3 goals and those 4 matches averaged 4 goals apiece. More of the same expected here as Helsinki has allowed 2 goals in each of last 2 road matches. However, before being shutout in most recent match, Helsinki had scored at least 1 goal in each of their preceding matches this summer. They will bounce back here and score a goal but they will not be able to stop Qarabag. Look for a 2-1 final here at the very least. OVER 2.5 in Qarabag |

Rotation #224281: Champions League | Third Qualifying Round | 1st Leg: OVER 3 +115 in Rangers vs Servette @ 2:45 ET - The Rangers got their Scottish Premiership off to a disappointing start as they lost 1-0 despite firing a lot of shots on goal. This will strengthen their resolve here in Glagow for this one and they had scored an average of 2.7 goals per match in their last 4 matches before that disappointing defeat. Also, they will take advantage of a Swiss club here that has given up a pile of opponents chances in recent action. They are off a 1-1 draw but Servette saw its preceding match in Champions League qualifying action end 2-2 and feature a ton of opponents shots on goal. Also, that was the 8th time in 12 matches that Servette had a final score total at least 4 goals. Even just 3 goals gives us a push here but you can see why I am confidently expecting 4 or more here. Servette has scored an average of 2.3 goals per match last dozen matches but will also struggle to stop an angry Rangers club that is on their home pitch here as well. Look for a 3-2 type final here the way I see it and certainly we should get to at least 4 goals here. OVER 3 +115 in Rangers |

Rotation #224285: Champions League | Third Qualifying Round | 1st Leg: Wednesday OVER 2.5 +120 in Panathinaikos vs Marseille @ 2 ET - Each of last two matches for Panathinaikos have totaled 4 goals. We only need 3 here to be a winner. 8 of last 9 Marseille matches have totaled at least 3 goals and those 9 matches have averaged 3 goals. They are a solid powerhouse club from France but Panathinaikos is home and will put up a fight here. As a result, and based on attacking capabilities of each, I am anticipating a 2-1 type battle here. OVER 2.5 +120 in Panathinaikos |

Rotation #216801: Trofeo Joan Gamper: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in Barcelona vs Tottenham @ 2 ET - This is a preseason friendly battle for the Joan Gamper Trophy and Barcelona is a heavy favorite at home for this one. However, they are not in their usual home venue as that one is being renovated this season. Will that throw off Barcelona a bit? I do expect Tottenham to take advantage and the Hotspur have been scoring well. However, Barcelona should eventually right the ship and I feel we have solid line value with this total as a 3-2 final would not surprise me in the least. Of course if we see a 2-1 type match that would at least be a push at 3 goals but, again, I am looking for much more and feel we are justified in expecting much more too! Barcelona has scored 2.2 goals per match in their last 4 across all competitions. Tottenham is off B2B 5 to 1 wins and, dating back to the tail end of the Premier League season that just finished a couple months ago, the Hotspur have scored an average of 4 goals per match in their last 4 matches. 10* OVER 3 in Barcelona |

Rotation #224265: Champions League | Third Qualifying Round | 1st Leg: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in FC Copenhagen vs Sparta Prague @ 2 ET - Copenhagen won their last two matches by a combined score of 8 to 3 to reach this round. I like the fact that Sparta Prague is just now getting their Champions League qualification chase underway. They will want to set the tone on the road here but this Copenhagen club is playing with a ton of confidence right now. As a result, I am expecting a 2-1 type match here at the very least. In terms of goals scored, we should see at least 3. Copenhagen is already 3-0 in the Danish Superliga action and the average score of the 3 matches is 3-1. Combining that with how they played against Breidablik (Iceland) in the Second Qualifying Round for Champions League, you can see why I am expecting plenty of goals here. Sparta Prague is 3-0 in their league action as well and they have scored an average of 2.7 goals in those matches in Czech Liga action. Copenhagen plays an attacking style and, particularly with this match at home, I look for this to continue. It is likely to be too much for Sparta Prague but I do expect the visitors to be much more of a challenge than Breidablik was and I am expecting a 2-1 or 3-2 type final here in opening action which means we have excellent value with this total available at 2.5 goals. 10* OVER 2.5 in FC Copenhagen |

Rotation #206901: Romania Liga 1: Monday OVER 2 goals -145 in FC Voluntari vs Rapid Bucuresti @ 2:30 ET - Rapid won the last meeting 4-1 and I am expecting another high-scoring meeting here. There has not been a week that has gone by yet this entire season - and we are in week 4 - in which there was not at least one matchday in which both matches did not each reach at least 2 goals. I do not expect this trend to end this week. As per usual, Monday is the final day of the matchweek and has 2 matches. Look for each to reach at least the 2 goal mark. Not only did the most recent meeting between these clubs total 5 goals, Voluntari has had 6 straight matches total at least 2 goals. Those matches have averaged 3.7 goals apiece. As for Rapid, 4 of their last 5 matches (and 7 of last 10) have totaled at least 3 goals! That is why I am looking for a solid win here as those 10 matches have averaged 3.6 goals per match. Given the trending of both these clubs in the 3.5 goal range, look for 3 or 4 goals here and a solid over. The fact Voluntari is a suberb of Bucurseti and Rapid is nearby means the rivalry aspect insures proper focus and aggression here as well. Both clubs will be on the attack early and often in this one. OVER 2 goals -145 in FC Voluntari |

Rotation #206917: Romania Liga 1: Monday OVER 2 goals -150 in Sepsi vs Otelul Galati @ 11:30 AM ET - We should see 5 goals here. Sepsi's matches across all competitions have gone from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 in terms of goals scored so look for 5 here. All kidding aside, the trending is certainly there for a higher-scoring match if this pattern continues. Hosting Otelul Galati should definitely help the cause in this regard. Otelul Galati gave up 2 goals last week and they had numerous quality scoring chances and certainly deserved to make the net ripple at least once in last week's shutout loss to FCSB. I was impressed with their effort in the offensive zone and the fact they would not back down and I expect them to respond with another strong effort here. Couple that with the fact the hosts have scored an average of 2.5 goals last 4 matches across all competitions and you have a solid spot for an over here. OVER 2 goals -150 in Sepsi |

Rotation #206925: Romania Liga 1: Sunday OVER 2.5 +120 in FCSB vs CFR Cluj @ 2:30 ET - Both clubs have seen their matches averaged 3 goals apiece so far this season and I am looking for more of the same here. Both clubs are undefeated and scoring well with each club averaging 2 goals scored per match. A 2-2 draw or at least a 2-1 final would not surprise me in the least in what should be a highly entertaining atmosphere in Bucuresti for this one! There is going to be a sold-out raucous crowd for this one. Both clubs off high-scoring matches in Europa Conference League action too. Now back to the focus on Romania Liga 1 action and the recent history between these clubs is for lower-scoring matches but CFR Cluj has a new manager this season and is playing a different style.

Rotation #206909: Romania Liga 1: Sunday OVER 2 -150 in Petrolul Ploiesti vs Farul @ 11:15 AM ET - Farul off a 3-1 loss last week so you know they are going to bring it in terms of effort this week. This is a proud bunch and they are fired up after being embarrassed at home by Poli Iasi last week. That said, look for plenty of goals here because Farul is sure to bring a strong effort on the road here but you know Petrolul Ploiesti will be ready to go on their home pitch. They got shutout at home last week after each of their first two matches were 1-1 draws. OVER 2 -150 in Petrolul Ploiesti |

Rotation #206897: Romania Liga 1: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -140 in Universitatea Cluj vs Dinamo @ 2:30 ET - The value of a 2 here is huge and is worth the extra juice. Universitatea Cluj is off a 4-3 win and they have allowed at least 1 goal in 4 straight matches and have allowed an average of 2 goals per match over this stretch. Dinamo has allowed 11 goals in losing 4 straight matches and this was preceded by scoring 6 goals in a huge upset win. Before getting shutout by Sepsi last week, Dinamo did scored an average of 2.2 goals per match in their 4 preceding matches. I also liked what I saw from Dinamo last week as they certainly had great quality chances and deserved to get on the scoresheet. They make up for that this week and make the net ripple but the problem is they can not slow down anyone and their struggles defensively continue. Looking for at least a 2-1 final here as a result. 10* OVER 2 -140 in Universitatea Cluj |

08-05-23 | U Craiova 1948 v. Botosani OVER 2.25 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -101 | 8 h 42 m | Show |
Rotation #206905: Romania Liga 1: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -145 in FC Botosani vs U Craiova 1948 @ 11:30 AM ET - 5 straight FC Botosani matches have totaled at least 2 goals and those 5 matches have averaged 3.2 goals apiece. The value of a 2 here is huge and is worth the extra juice. FC Botosani is off a 2-2 draw last week and U Craiova is off a 4-3 loss. The visitors enter this one with 5 of last 7 matches totaling at least 2 goals and those 7 matches have averaged 3.4 goals apiece. I know these clubs had low-scoring matches in all 3 meetings last season, including play-out round, but the hosts enter this one allowing at least 1 goal in 5 straight and the visitors enter this one allowing at least 1 goal in 7 straight. Odds suggest a 2-1 type match here! 10* OVER 2 -145 in FC Botosani |

08-04-23 | Hermannstadt v. CS U Craiova OVER 2 | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -116 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
Rotation #206921: Romania Liga 1 Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in Universitatea Craiova vs Hermannstadt @ 2:30 ET - The value of a 2 is huge in Romanian Football and note that last week all 8 matches totaled at least 2 goals. That was week 3 of the season and note that in the first two weeks of the season 6 of the 8 matches totaled at least 2 goals each week. Considering that fact plus the fact that Universitatea Craiova's manager is expecting an offensive-minded match here and you have the recipe for an over. I know that Universitatea Craiova has conceded just 1 goal so far this season but Hermannstadt has been scoring well and has confidence. Also, Universitatea Craiova is at home here and the manager expects an aggressive approach from the visitor so their planning for this match is heavily focused on exploiting weaknesses via an aggressive counterattack. Hermannstadt has scored 5 goals the past two weeks but has also conceded at least 1 goal in all 3 matches thus far. The visitors also have not had a draw in any of their matches this season and this all factors into why I am expecting at least a 2-1 final here. 10* OVER 2 in Universitatea Craiova |

Rotation #221201: Serbia Super Liga: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals +105 in Radnicki Nis vs Backa Topola @ 11:55 AM ET - Radnicki Nis is off a 2-0 loss but now is at home this week. They should respond here in their home opener for the new season and that should translate to plenty of goals here as 4 of their final 5 matches last season did total at least 3 goals. As for Backa Topola, they are off a 3-3 draw in their season opener. Dating back to last season as well, that was the 4th time in 5 matches that a Backa Topola match had totaled at least 3 goals. Their last 6 matches have averaged 3.5 goals apiece. Also, in the last 5 meetings between these clubs there was a 1-1 draw but in the other 4 matches the winning club totaled at least 2 goals all 4 times. Based on the above, I am expecting a 2-1 type match here. The visitors off a high-scoring game and the hosts looking to respond after being held scoreless in season opener. That should translate to solid goal-scoring here. 10* OVER 2.5 +105 in Radnicki Nis |

Rotation #224229: Champions League | Second Qualifying Round | 2nd Leg: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +110 in Maccabi Haifa vs Sheriff Tiraspol @ 1 ET - Sheriff Tiraspol took the first match in Moldova but now have to go to Israel for the 2nd leg of this battle. The 1-0 final that went in favor of Sheriff was not indicative of the dominance that Maccabi Haifa actually had in the match. That said, and now that Maccabi is back home where they have won 8 consecutive matches, I expect a strong push and some scoring from the host in this one. However, Sheriff beat a quality Farul club from Romania to reach this point and that was no easy battle. The visitors will put up a fight here and I am looking for a 2-1 final as an end result in a highly competitive match that will feature a lot of attacking. The hosts are in a 1-0 hole so they will be aggressive from the get-go in this one and this time I look for them to finish better in front of Sheriff's goal. However, the aggressiveness will also open up some chances on the counterattack and that means plenty of opportunities going the other way too. Look for a much more wide open affair here and this one ends with at least 3 goals. 10* OVER 2.5 in Maccabi Haifa |

Rotation #224221: Champions League | Second Qualifying Round | 2nd Leg: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -145 in Qarabag FK vs Rakow Czestochowa @ Noon ET - Rakow Czestochowa lead this one 3-2 after taking the 1st leg by that final score. However Qarabag FK is known for being so strong at home and tough to beat there with only one loss in a competitive match there in the past 18 months! That said, and knowing the hosts have a one-goal deficit heading into this one, you can expect a strong effort from Qarabag FK and I look for them to find the back of the net to force pressure on Rakow Czestochowa. However, I am certain the visitors will answer the call in a match I see strong odds on finishing at least 2-1. Qarabag FK can not sit back here and must be aggressive and they are so solid at home but they will again struggle to stop Rakow Czestochowa here and this leads to a solid over in this one. 10* OVER 2 goals -145 in Qarabag FK |

Rotation #224213: Champions League | Second Qualifying Round | 2nd Leg: Tuesday 10* OVER 2 goals -135 in Slovan Bratislava vs Zrinjski @ 2:30 ET - Slovan Bratislava won 1-0 in the first meeting at Mostar even though Zrinjski actually had an edge in possession and scoring chances. Now Slovan Bratislava will be the host and, though they have the confidence of having earned the road win in the 1st leg, Zrinjski knows they deserved better in that one. They proved in the first leg, though they lost 1-0, that they can play with these guys and they need to work hard again (but will have that added confidence) to get the road win here. Though I am not banking on a road win, I am banking on a strong road effort and the home club to answer the call as well and that should eventually translate to a 2-1 type match here. Slovan Bratislava, prior to their 1-0 win in the first leg, saw their last 4 matches across Champions or Europa League action to each total at least 2 goals and those averaged 3 goals apiece. Zrinjski had 2 of their last 3 total at least 3 goals and their last 3 matches across Champions or Europa League action had averaged 3 goals. 10* OVER 2 goals -135 in Slovan Bratislava |

Rotation #224209: Champions League | Second Qualifying Round | 2nd Leg: OVER 2.5 goals +110 in Olimpija Ljubljana vs Ludogorets Razgrad @ 2 ET - 1st leg was a 1-1 draw so both clubs push hard here for the win and neither club wants to settle for another 1-1 draw with the match to be decided after that. With that said, there is value in expecting 3 goals here. Each match of the First Qualifying Round for Olimpija Ljubljana was decided by a 2-1 final and I am expecting that type of result here. Ludogorets Razgrad saw their First Qualifying Round matches average 3 goals apiece and their Europa Conference League most recent match was also a 2-1 final. Both clubs scoring well domestically of late as well so I am looking for plenty of goals in the deciding match of this qualifying round. 10* OVER 2.5 +110 in Olimpija Ljubljana |

Rotation #206893: Romania Liga 1 Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -150 in Dinamo Bucuresti vs Sepsi @ 2:30 ET - The value of a 2 here is big. In each of the first two weeks 6 of the 8 matches have reached at least the 2-goal mark. Now, as we enter the final matchday of week 3, all 6 matches thus far have totaled at least 2 goals. Scoring is up overall and I like what I am seeing from the marketplace on this one. The betting markets seem to be thinking under here based on line movement yet the odds makers were pointing more towards the over here based on the way they priced it. That said, the fact Sepsi's first two matches have seen a total of just 1 goal scored yet you are seeing some books have over 2.5 goals on this one tells you all you need to know really. Look for Dinamo to come up big at home as they are so happy to be back in Liga 1 and want to put on a show for their home fans but are still seeing their first win this season. Dinamo has allowed 2 goals in each match so far this season but did score a goal last week. Also, dating back to last season's promotion/relegation playoffs they have now scored an average of 2.2 goals last 4 matches but allowed 2.2 goals last 4 matches as well. This one should be very entertaining in Bucuresti tonight. 10* OVER 2 goals -150 in Dinamo |

Rotation #206873: Romania Liga 1 Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -130 in Petrolul Ploiesti vs FC Voluntari @ 11:30 AM ET - The value of a 2 here is big. In each of the first two weeks 6 of the 8 matches have reached at least the 2-goal mark. Now, as we enter the final matchday of week 3, all 6 matches thus far have totaled at least 2 goals. Scoring is up overall and I like what I have seen from FC Voluntari entering this one. Their first two matches this season have averaged totaling 4 goals and their final 3 of last season also averaged totaling 4 goals. The last time these two clubs met, ironically, it was a 2-2 final so it also totaled 4 goals. I know Petrolul Ploiesti has seen each of their first two matches finish as 1-1 draws but they are at home here and will push hard for the full 3 points. They have allowed at least 1 goal in 5 straight matches dating back to last season so look for at least a 2-1 final here. 10* OVER 2 goals -130 in Petrolul Ploiesti |

Rotation #206889: Romania Liga 1: Sunday OVER 2 goals -135 in CFR Cluj vs Universitatea Craiova @ 2:30 ET - CFR Cluj has both scored and conceded in each of its last two matches across all competitions but also has scored an average of 2 goals in last 3 matches overall. Also, in their 2 Liga 1 matches, CFR Cluj has scored at least 2 goals in each match. Considering that plus the fact that Universitatea Craiova is fired up off a scoreless draw with Otelul Galati, I am looking for goals here. Universitatea Craiova scored 2 goals in winning their first road match this season and they also scored 3 goals in winning their final road match of last season with a big win back in May. They will get on the board here the way I forecast this one as back to back clean sheets highly unlikely. However, CFR Cluj is certainly favored for a reason and the over is the way to go here with a 2-1 final likely and I like the value of over 2 being available at a reasonable -135 price in this one. OVER 2 goals -135 in CFR Cluj |

Rotation #206885: Romania Liga 1 Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -150 in Otelul Galati vs FCSB @ 2:30 ET - This match was sold out already before matchday! Otelul Galati very happy to be back in Liga 1 and also relishing the opportunity to again host matches like this. They host the big boys from Bucuresti as FCSB is in town for this one and there should be an incredible energy for this match. That said, and considering FCSB is without one of its best defenders, I do expect Galati to find a way to score at least 1 goal here. However, FCSB is a big favorite for a reason here and I am looking for at least a 2-1 final as the end result here. Though we have to lay some extra juice to have the over 2 goals, having a 2 is a key number in matches in Liga 1 and I am willing to lay the price to have the extra security of turning a 2 into a push. FCSB has seen 6 of last 7 matches total at least 3 goals and those 6 matches have averaged 4 goals apiece. More of the same expected here. 10* OVER 2 goals -150 in Otelul Galati |

Rotation #206881 Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals +100 in Rapid Bucuresti vs FC Botosani @ 2:30 PM ET - This sets up well for goals and that is why, even though both clubs failed to score last week, you are seeing totals of 2 and 1/4 or 2 and 1/2 on this one. I am recommending to avoid laying juice and grab the even money on the over 2.5 here and looking for a 2-1 type final. FC Botosani has both scored and conceded in each of their first two matches this season. More of the same here Rapid had a disgusting scoreless draw in Week 1 at home and then responded last week with a big 3-0 win at Universitatea Cluj. Now they want to show the home fans what they can do in Week 3 as they carry momentum home from that big road win last week. Rapid is still adjusting to new personnel and a new manager but things started to fall into place last week as the match went on. Now, after the poor effort in Week 1 on their home turf, the carry momentum into a strong performance here. However, the hosts will be so focused on a stronger attack at home that they could be susceptible to the counterattack going the other way. Look for them to concede at least once but of course they are also a big favorite for a reason. This one should get to at least 2-1 and note that 2 of the last 3 meetings have totaled at least 3 goals and 3 of the last 4 meetings have seen both clubs score at least once. We'll see goals here! 10* OVER 2.5 goals +100 in Rapid Bucuresti |

Rotation #206877 Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals +130 in U Craiova 1948 vs Universitatea Cluj @ 11:30 AM ET - There were only 2 clubs that suffered shutout losses last week and now they meet right here. U Craiova 1948 lost 1-0 last week on the road but now they are back home and will respond. At the same time, Universitatea Cluj is off a 3-0 home loss last week and is out for payback this week. This sets up well for goals and that is why, even though both clubs failed to score last week, you are seeing totals of 2 and 1/4 or 2 and 1/2 on this one. I am recommending to grab the big plus money on the over here and looking for a 2-1 type final. Both clubs should get back onto the scoresheet here plus both clubs very hungry for a win as both are winless thus far. They each scored in their first match of the season but each have allowed an average of 2 goals per match this season. This one gets to at least 2-1 the way I see it playing out. Their last two meetings have each totaled at least 4 goals! 10* OVER 2.5 goals +130 in U Craiova 1948 |

Rotation #209657: Peruvian Primera Profesional: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 3 -130 in Sporting Cristal vs Deportivo Binacional @ 4 ET - Sporting Cristal is a huge favorite here and is favored by 2 goals on the goal line. It looks like Deportivo Binacional is simply outclassed here and, with Sporting Cristal hosting for this one it looks like a complete mismatch that should see plenty of goals. Note that Sporting Cristal has scored plenty of goals as a host in recent matches including averaging scoring 3.3 goals in their last 4 matches in league action that were played here at San Martin de Porres. As for the visitors in this one, Deportivo Binacional, they have some momentum and confidence here as they are coming off a 4-1 win over Deportivo Municipal. However, prior to that victory, they had allowed 2.2 goals per match in their last 5 matches. Now they face a tough match-up against a club known for piling up goals at home. I do expect them to scratch out a goal but also to allow 3 at least. Looking for a 3-1 type of match here and we'll go with the over in this one. 10* OVER 3 |

Rotation #224297: Champions League | Second Qualifying Round | 1st Leg: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -120 in Rakow Czestochowa (Poland) vs. Qarabag FK (Azerbaijan) @ 2:15 ET - Rakow scored 4 goals in their two matches in the opening round of qualifiers while Qarabag scored 6 goals in their corresponding pair of matches in the first round. Both clubs are in strong current form and Rakow has won 4 of last 5 matches across all competitions and are off a 3-0 win in their first league match of the new season. Qarabag is a quality opponent that has won 3 straight matches and I just do not see either club being able to completely shutdown the other one here. That said, no clean sheet and I look for a 1-1 match to eventually lead to a 2-1 final in this one. OVER 2 goals -120 in Rakow Czestochowa |

Rotation #224277: Champions League | Second Qualifying Round | 1st Leg: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -120 in Sheriff Tiraspol (Moldova) vs Maccabi Haifa (Israel) @ 1 ET - Sheriff Tiraspol got by a solid Romanian club (Farul Constanta) to reach this stage. The one thing they won't to do again though is dig themselves a hole by losing the first match. They recovered (barely) in the 2nd leg to advance to the 2nd round but it was a precarious situation after Sheriff Tiraspol lost the first match 1-0. That said, I look for much more aggression here as they look to take advantage of this match being at home also. However, they could be in for a test here as Maccabi Haifa has scored 9 goals in winning each of its last 3 matches across all competitions. We'll see some solid goal-scoring here and the total of just 2 goals is a bargain price for over players the way I see it. 10* OVER 2 goals -120 in Sheriff Tiraspol |

Rotation #224265: Champions League | Second Qualifying Round | 1st Leg: Tuesday OVER 2.5 +135 in Dnipro-1 (Ukraine) vs Panathinaikos (Greece) @ 2 ET - This match actually being played in Slovakia because of the war in Ukraine. Dnipro-1 is hosting here but Panathinaikos is still the favorite and rightfully so. After falling just short of winning the title in the Greek Super League and also having been knocked out of the Champions League qualifying last year as they lost to Slavia Prague. As a result of both things - including Panathinaikos leading the Greek Super League for much of the campaign before falling just short - you will see a rather aggressive effort from the visitors in this one. I like the new signings of each club and how they have strengthened their roster for this match. Look for goals to result in this one as both clubs push hard to take the upper hand in this 1st of 2 legs. Panathinaikos wants to impose their will but Dnipro-1 has plenty of attacking talent too and will have some extra confidence in this 1st leg as they avoid starting off at Panathinaikos immediately in this 2-leg battle. The hosts will want to take advantage and will be aggressive and the end result will be plenty of goals. OVER 2.5 +135 in Dnipro-1 |

Rotation #224261: Champions League | Second Qualifying Round | 1st Leg: Tuesday OVER 2.5 -115 in Zalgiris (Lithuania) vs Galatasaray (Turkey) @ Noon ET - Galatasaray is a heavy favorite at nearly -200 with good reason. They are -1 goal on the goal line but are on the road here. I see this one playing out to a 2-1 final at least. I look for Zalgiris to put up a fight as the hosts in this one and find the back of the net at least once but they will not be able to stop the superior visitors in the first leg of this tie. Don't be fooled by some recent results for Galatasaray as they were often resting top players. Now, on their way of hopefully securing something in the Champions League, you will see a much different approach from the visitors in this one. The end result will be plenty of goals. OVER 2.5 -115 in Zalgiris |

Rotation #206861: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +120 in Universitatea Craiova vs Otelul Galati @ 2:30 ET - Galati is off a 1-1 draw at home last week but felt they deserved better. They will certainly be going strong for the full 3 points in the table here but Universitatea Craiova is a big favorite for a reason. Galati is a newly promoted club and will put up a fight here but this is the home opener for Universitatea Craiova and their manager is already preaching the importance of putting up a strong scoring effort on their home pitch. The fans want to see success but also to see goals and I expect an aggressive approach here as the hosts look to take advantage of facing a foe that was in Liga 2 last season. Galati, however, does have some solid attacking ability and I don't see them shutout. Hence, I am looking for at least a 2-1 final here as Universitatea Craiova is a nearly -300 favorite on the money line and should find a way to prevail but I also doubt a clean sheet here. The hosts won 2-0 last week but that was against a Dinamo Bucuresti club that is struggling badly early this season. This Galati club will put up more of a challenge and Universitatea Craiova had allowed at least 1 goal in 11 straight matches before that clean sheet last week. 10* OVER 2.5 +120 in Universitatea Craiova |

Rotation #206857: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -135 in FC Botosani vs Petrolul Ploiesti @ 11:30 AM ET - 2 of last 3 meetings totaled at least 3 goals and those 2 actually averaged 4 goals apiece. Both teams hungry for first win of season as Botosani fell short 2-1 last week but now this is their home opener and they wrapped up last season with a 5-1 win in their home finale. Petro is off a 1-1 draw at home last week and each of their last 3 road matches have totaled at least 3 goals. There is some 2 available in the -135 range on this one and I will not hesitate to again take advantage of the key number available on this one as each club has some extra hunger to get into the win column here too and will push hard on the attack. 10* OVER 2 -135 in FC Botosani |

Rotation #206853: Romania Liga 1 Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -140 in Universitatea Cluj vs Rapid Bucuresti @ 2:30 ET - Universitatea Cluj is off a 1-1 draw last week. Rapid is off a very disappointing scoreless draw with Sepsi last week. However, the manager of Rapid previously was with Sepsi and that match, as a result, did turn into a bitter defensive and tactical battle that was predicated on trying not to lose rather than trying to win. Seriously, it played out in that fashion and I expect this match to play out in a much different fashion. Rapid already under pressure to perform after the dismal performance in Week 1 so I look for them to step up in a big way on the road here in Week 2. However, a more aggressive and unrelenting attack will also give Universitatea Cluj the opportunity for some strong scoring chances on the counterattack on their home pitch. There is a reason the juice is a little heavy on this at over 2 goals. Having a total of 2 in Romanian football is a strong value as it is such a key number. 5 of last 7 Rapid matches had totaled at least 4 goals to wrap up last season and I look for them to get back to playing "Rapid Football" here in this one! 21 of last 27 matches involving Universitatea Cluj have totaled at least 2 goals. This one will too and with Rapid having only 10 draws in 40 matches last season and Universitatea Cluj having only 11 draws in 39 matches last season - both stats including play-off/play-out matches - the likelihood of a draw is rather slim so look for at least a 2-1 final here.

Rotation #206849: Romania Liga 1 Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -105 in Poli Iasi vs Hermannstadt @ 11:30 AM ET - Both clubs still looking for first points of new season and even looking for first goals too as both were handed clean sheets by their opponent last week in losses for each. Look for a much different match this time around as Poli Iasi is playing their home opener after earning promotion to Liga 1. In other words, this is a special match for them. I do expect them to find the back of the net at least once here but also Hermannstadt is going to respond as their first match was against a very tough Farul club. Of course Farul is the defending league champion plus they are known for an improved defense so it makes sense that Hermannstadt struggled in the first match of the new season. However, they now take on a club that was in Liga 2 last season and I look for the visitors to be very aggressive here on the attack. Again though, I just do not see Poli Iasi getting held down again as this one is on their home pitch and they are excited about being back in Liga 1. The result should be a 2-1 final here the way I see it. OVER 2 in Poli Iasi |

Rotation #206845: Romania Liga 1 Saturday OVER 3 +110 in FCSB vs Dinamo @ 2:30 ET - This will be a fantastic atmosphere in Bucuresti for this one. Dinamo is back in Liga 1 and now these two rivals face off for the first time this season. The match will be sold out and packed with rabid fans and the intensity level will be off the charts. 4 of the last 5 meetings between these clubs have totaled at least 3 goals and those 4 matches averaged 4 goals apiece. That is what I am looking for here as Dinamo has seen its last 3 matches average 5 goals apiece but it includes a 2-0 shutout to open up their new season in the top league in Romania. That satisfied no one of course so they will be a lot more aggressive on the attack here as they look to score first goal of the season. However, their issue will be stopping a strong FCSB club. 5 of last 6 FCSB matches have totaled at least 3 goals and they are coming off a 3-1 win to open up the season. Well coached and stocked with solid players, FCSB should have a huge performance here. Those 5 out of the 6 matches that were high-scoring averaged totaling 4.4 goals apiece. Take advantage of the plus money here on a bigger total than usual. This one is set at 3 goals for a reason and we'll grab it! OVER 3 +110 in FCSB |

Rotation #206841: Romania Liga 1 Saturday OVER 2 -150 in Farul vs Voluntari @ 11:15 AM ET - Strong value with this total available at a 2 in some spots even though that is at a pricier juice factor. Both meetings last season totaled at least 2 goals. Also, Voluntari is on a long-term run in which 11 of their last 12 matches have totaled at least 2 goals and those dozen matches averaged 3.3 goals apiece! Farul is going to come out aggressive here. Their first match this season was only a 1-0 win but they were saving players and energy for their Champions League Qualifying. Now, after losing that battle due to a loss in the 2nd leg of it, Farul is fully focused on Liga 1 action. Coming off a championship season and having scored an average of 1.8 goals per match in the regular season, they will be relentless here. However, Voluntari has scored an average of 1.9 goals per match last dozen matches and I look for both clubs to enjoy success on the attack tonight. Farul known for scoring very well at home and they will be out for blood in this one. As a result, I am looking for a 2-1 type final here. OVER 2 -150 in Farul |

Rotation #206837: Romania Liga 1 Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -130 in UTA vs CFR Cluj @ 2:30 ET - Strong value with this total available at a 2 in some spots. Both meetings last season totaled at least 2 goals. Also, each club saw their season-opening match last week reach the 2-goal mark. 12 of last 15 UTA matches have totaled at least 2 goals and those dozen matches averaged 3 goals apiece. As for CFR Cluj, they were one of the top scoring teams in the league last season but I feel both clubs could struggle defensively here. Keep in mind, each club faced a newly promoted opponent last week and they will each face a tougher attack now this week after facing Otelul Galati and Poli Iasi, respectively, last week. CFR Cluj averaged 1.8 goals scored per match in the regular season last year and I am looking for a 2-1 type final here. 10* OVER 2 -130 in UTA |

Rotation #206833: Romania Liga 1 Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +105 in Sepsi vs U Craiova 1948 @ 11:30 AM ET - U Craiova 1948 is off a 3-1 loss last week and 3 of their last 5 matches have totaled at least 3 goals. Also, 3 of the last 4 times they have met Sepsi, the matches have totaled at least 3 goals. Sepsi off a scoreless draw but 7 of their 10 matches heading into that one had totaled at least 3 goals. Their battle last week was with Rapid and that was their former manager that was leading the way for the opposition. That led to a surprisingly tactical low-scoring battle where neither club was able to make the net ripple. This match-up is entirely different and the goals will flow. 10* OVER 2.5 +105 in Sepsi |

Rotation #224241: Champions League | First Qualifying Round | 2nd Leg: Wednesday OVER 2 goals -140 in FC Dinamo Tbilisi vs Astana @ Noon ET - This one coming from the Georgian capital after the teams played out a 1-1 draw in Kazakhstan in the 1st Leg. In the Georgian top league, FC Dinamo Tbilisi is the the highest scoring club and averaging scoring 2.3 goals per match. Getting this total at just 2 is an excellent value as this one has the makings of a 2-1 final. Astana will put up another strong battle here but the hosts likely to prove to be too much on their home pitch and I expect both clubs to score but then a strong push for the deciding goal as neither clubs wants this Qualifier to be decided after regular playing time. OVER 2 -140 in FC Dinamo Tbilisi |

Rotation #224213: Champions League | First Qualifying Round | 2nd Leg: Tuesday OVER 2 -118 in Sheriff Tiraspol vs Farul Constanta @ 1 ET - Farul is from Romania Liga 1 so I am very familiar with them. The rested nearly the entirety of their lineup in the first match of the new season which ended up a 1-0 win over Hermannstadt. The players that faced Sheriff in the 1st leg of this Champions League qualifying helped lead the way to a 1-0 win and they will be back for Farul for the 2nd leg and they are well-rested. That sets this up well for a high-scoring match the way I see it. Both clubs missed some great scoring chances in the first meeting. I also see Sheriff coming out strong here at home in Moldova. They will score but I really like the chances of Farul answering the call here. Keep in mind, a 1-0 loss here would mean Farul has to rely on the extra time or penalty kicks to ultimately prevail here. That said, they do not want to leave this opportunity to chance. They will go hard for the win and at least a draw here. Remember if it ends 1-1 we at least get a push here but all factors considered I am looking for at least a 2-1 final. In Europa Conference League action, Sheriff allowed at least 1 goal in 4 straight heading into the 1st leg of this Champions League battle. In those 4 matches, Sheriff allowed an average of 1.5 goals. I do look for them to be strong here at home and get on the scoresheet this time against Farul but you can also see, per the above, why I am also expecting the boys from Constanta to find the back of the net at least once as well. In fact, Farul has scored at least a goal in 13 straight matches across all competitions and has averaged 2 goals per match during this stretch. OVER 2 -118 in Sheriff Tiraspol |

Rotation #206829: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals +105 in Dinamo vs Universitatea Craiova @ 2:30 ET - Dinamo is thrilled to be back in Liga 1 after earning promotion from Liga 2 a few months ago. This is a very popular team in Bucuresti, the largest city in Romania, and by Saturday this match was already sold out for tonight. The place will be packed and Dinamo is long for riding the enthusiasm when they play at home. However, Universitatea Craiova is a 1-goal favorite for a reason of course. The way I see this one playing out is that Dinamo will find the back of the net at least once but eventually the visitors find a way to prevail in a 2-1 final. Either way, upset for Dinamo or big road win for Universitatea Craiova, look for this one to end up with at least 3 goals. 3 of the last 5 meetings between these two clubs, including each of the last two, have totaled at least 5 goals! The two playoff matches for Dinamo that earned them this promotion each totaled at least 6 goals! Universitatea Craiova, before a 1-0 loss to close out last season, had seen their 10 prior matches all total at least 2 goals and those 10 matches averaged 3 goals apiece. Look for this one to get to at least the 3-goal mark as well. 10* OVER 2.5 in Dinamo |

Rotation #206821: Romania Liga 1: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +125 in U Craiova 1948 vs FCSB @ 2:30 ET - U Craiova 1948 finished their season with a low-scoring loss but their 3 matches prior to that averaged 3.7 goals per match. I am looking for a very high-scoring match here as they are the host in this one and I expect they will find the back of the net at least once. However, FCSB, even without Andrea Compagno (not expected to play here) has a ton of scoring firepower and looks like one of the top clubs in the league entering this season. They are known for scoring well and wrapped up last season with 6 of last 9 matches totaling at least 3 goals. In fact those 9 matches averaged 3 goals apiece and their is certainly nothing "average" about that. Take advantage of the plus money here! 10* OVER 2.5 +125 in U Craiova 1948 |

Rotation #206817: Romania Liga 1: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in Petrolul Ploiesti vs Universitatea Cluj @ 11:30 AM ET - The winning club has scored 2 goals in each of the last two meetings between these clubs. Also, Petro finished up last season with 5 of last 7 matches totaling at least 2 goals and the last 3 of those that did all totaled at least 3 goals! More of the same here as U Cluj has seen 20 of last 26 matches get to at least the 2 goal mark. A lot of value with this total at just 2 goals and we'll take advantage. 10* OVER 2 in Petrolul Ploiesti |

07-15-23 | CSMS Iasi v. CFR Cluj OVER 2.25 | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -57.5 | 6 h 0 m | Show |
Rotation #206813: Romania Liga 1: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +120 in CFR Cluj vs Poli Iasi @ 2:30 ET - Poli Iasi is newly promoted and averaged 1.6 goals scored in the regular season last year in Liga 2 and then averaged scoring 2 goals in the play-off round of 10 matches. This is a club that found the back of the net with consistency last season but, of course, they are a large dog here for a reason. With CFR Cluj having a new manager as well as some personnel changes, you know the hosts are going to want to come out strong here. I am looking for at least a 2-1 final here and like the value we we are getting with the over 2.5 at +120 for this one. CFR Cluj averaged 1.8 goals scored in the regular season last season and will come out strong here after a disappointing finish in the play-off round for Liga 1. CFR Cluj did allow a goal per match last season but also was tied with Farul as the highest scoring club in the league. That sets this one up to be at least a 2-1 final the way I see it. We saw yesterday that newly promoted Galati never backed down in their match and were still going for the win late in the 1-1 match and you are going to see a similar strong effort from Poli Iasi in this one. OVER 2.5 +120 in CFR Cluj |

07-14-23 | Sepsi v. Rapid Bucuresti OVER 2 | Top | 0-0 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
Rotation #206805: Romania Liga 1 Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -105 in Rapid Bucuresti vs FC Sepsi @ 2:30 ET - When these clubs last met in the play-off it was a scoreless draw in Bucuresti but this followed a 2-0 Sepsi victory in the first of the two play-off meetings last season. Also, when they met in the regular season each of the two meetings totaled 3 goals last season. I am looking for a similar result here to open up the new season. Rapid has a new coach, Cristiano Bergodi, that had just spent almost two years at Sepsi. He knows this club well and will put that to his advantage here. Also, Rapid is coming off a strong season and is particularly tough at home. However, the reason this line is priced nearly equal across the board on the 3-way line (win loss draw nearly equal odds for each result) is because Sepsi will put up a big fight here. The total actually opened up at 2 and 1/4 or 2 and 1/2 in some books so the fact it has dropped to a 2 is a solid value here. Even a 1-1 final would avoid a loss in this one but I am looking for 3 goals and a 2-1 final. Rapid averaged 1.3 goals scored per match last season and Sepsi averaged 1.6 goals scored per match. You can see why we have support for expecting at least 3 here and Rapid had only a 23% draw rate last season. Getting to 1-1 and then an eventual 2-1 final seems like the most likely result here and I am going with a top play here. 10* OVER 2 -105 in Rapid Bucuresti |

07-13-23 | São Paulo v. Palmeiras OVER 2.5 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 105 | 18 h 53 m | Show |
Rotation #212229: Copa do Brasil | Quarter-Finals | 2nd Leg: Thursday OVER 2.5 +115 in Palmeiras vs Sao Paolo @ 7 ET - I look for Palmeiras to respond at home after losing the first leg of this battle 1-0. They were horrible in that match but will be much stronger at home and of course they must score if they want a chance to advance here. At the same time though, I do not expect them to be able to shut down Sao Paulo here. The visitors are off a scoreless draw but this followed scoring at least 1 goal in 3 straight matches and averaging 1.3 goals scored in that stretch. Again, Palmeiras can not settle for a 1-1 draw so if you expect both clubs to score and you expect the hosts to be very aggressive on the attack which will open up counterattacking, you can likewise expect at least a 2-1 final here. No matter how it gets there, indeed I am looking for at least 3 goals here. OVER 2.5 +115 in Palmeiras |

Rotation #225117: CONCACAF Gold Cup | Semi-Finals: Wednesday OVER 2.5 +130 in USA vs Panama @ 7:30 ET - The USA match with Canada was 1-1 and had to eventually be decided on penalty kicks. They made it here and now take on a Panama club off a 4-0 win. Given the building confidence of the underdogs here I do expect them to make the net ripple once but USA is a big favorite for a reason and will prove to be too much here. Looking for at least a 2-1 final here as there is too much disparity in skills and talents here and the USA won the past two meetings 5-2 and 6-1 for a combined 11-3 on the aggregate. I like the value here of the over 2.5 available at plus money and will not hesitate to step in on this one. OVER 2.5 +130 in USA |

Rotation #208005: Argentine Primera Division | Gameweek 24: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 1.5 -145 in Independiente vs Newell's Old Boys @ 7 ET - Independiente gave up a late goal to settle for a 1-1 draw in most recent match and will be more aggressive on the attack here as they look to put this one away in dominant fashion on home soil. They have been a much stronger club on their home pitch this season and Independiente home matches have averaged 2.5 goals per match on the season. We have some solid line value here because Newell's Old Boys will be fired up after a 2-0 loss the last time out but they have allowed 1.4 goals per match in their road matches this season. An inability to stop the opposition has hurt Newell's away from home this season and that continues here but I expect them to find the back of the net at least once in this one. With the low total, a 1-1 final or even if we did see a 2-0 final, either result will cash our ticket here. We have to lay some extra juice to have the over 1.5 goals but this looks like a great spot situationally to do just that. Newell's off a shutout loss and Independiente off a match where they know they should have remained more aggressive in going for that 2nd goal. Each of Newell's last 6 matches have totaled at least 2 goals and I look for that run to go to 7-0 right here on Tuesday! OVER 1.5 -145 in Independiente |

Rotation #208009 - Argentine Primera Division | Gameweek 24 - Monday OVER 2 in Colon vs Belgrano @ 3:30 ET - Both clubs off losses by identical scores of 2-0. Colon has been aggressive on the attack but then turnovers have led to quick counter-attack opportunities for the opposition. With this being a home match, I expect Colon to continue to be aggressive but this could lead to trouble again in terms of goals conceded. Colon matches have been higher scoring at home while Belgrano has given up 1.2 goals per match in their road matches. Look for Colon to score at least once at home but Belgrano gets on the scoresheet as well. Belgrano has only 1 draw in 12 matches on the road this season so you can also see why the odds favor this one getting past 1-1 and ending in a 2-1 final. No clean sheet, no draw, look for at least 3 goals here. OVER 2 in Colon |

Rotation #208025: Argentine Primera Division | Gameweek 24 Saturday OVER 2 -145 or OVER 2.5 +135 in Estudiantes vs Racing Club @ 5 ET - Estudiantes is averaging 1.5 goals scored per match this season. As for Racing Club, they are the only club in the league that has both scored and conceded at least 30 goals this season! You have the option of over 2.5 at big plus money here or laying some juice to have the over 2 goals. Of course the latter is my preference here as 2 is certainly a key number in soccer matches in this league. Also, Racing Club has had 17 straight matches - across all competitions - total at least 2 goals. Estudiantes is off a scoreless draw but this followed 8 of 11 matches across all competitions totaling at least 2 goals. Those 8 matches averaged 3 goals apiece and I am looking for at least a 2-1 final as both clubs good for at least 1 goal here and then note that Racing Club has only 3 draws in 11 road matches this season so look for a goal apiece and then a tie-breaking strike here. OVER in Estudiantes |

Rotation #208121: Argentine Primera Division | Gameweek 23 Thursday OVER 2 in Sarmiento vs Talleres @ 6 ET - I know these two clubs have good defensive stats too but the strengths on offense and the situation here both make an over likely. Sarmiento is averaging 1.5 goals per match at home. Talleres is averaging 2 goals per match on the road! Talleres has seen hope diminish in catching River Plate at the top of the table and Sarmiento is safe from the drop zone but also stuck in the middle of the table. That said, neither team may be at the top of its game defensively and this match should feature solid scoring chances for both clubs. OVER 2 in Sarmiento |

Rotation #208141: Argentine Primera Division | Gameweek 23 Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 3 -115 in River Plate vs Colon @ 8:30 ET - This is a big total for a match in this league but you can bet (literally!) that is not a mistake! River Plate and Colon are both off losses and both gave up a bunch of goals. They are each looking to respond here and will be aggressive on the attack. River Plate is the #1 team in the league and averaging 2 goals per match this season so they are the most dangerous attack in the league. Coming off a loss and at home and facing a weaker foe, I would not be surprised to see them score 3 or more goals here in this one. Colon has been involved in a high percentage of low-scoring matches on the road this season but this one is just not set up for that type of result. River Plate has allowed 17 goals last 15 matches across all competitions but they are a 2-goal favorite on the goal line for a reason here. This one looks like at least a 3-1 final the way I handicap it. 10* OVER 3 goals -115 in River Plate |

Rotation #208145: Argentine Primera Division | Gameweek 23 Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals +100 in Lanus vs Velez Sarsfield @ 7 ET - Velez Sarsfield has a new manager bounce as they are off a 1-0 win and they have scored a goal in 3 straight matches now. However, they will have trouble toppling one of the top clubs in the league here as they face Lanus in this one. The hosts are favored for a reason and I am looking for at least 2-1 final in this one. Lanus has scored at least 1 goal in 7 straight matches. The last 5 meetings between these clubs have all totaled at least 3 goals and have averaged 4 goals apiece! Velez Sarsfield has had just 3 draws in 11 matches this season. Lanus is allowing a goal per match this season but also scores so well at home as the hosts have averaged scoring 1.6 goals per match this season. 10* OVER 2 in Lanus |

Note that Colon scores well at home and their home matches have averaged 2.3 goals per match this season. As for Racing Club, their matches tend to be high-scoring both home and away and, overall, their matches have averaged 2.7 goals apiece on the season. Colon has scored 1.7 goals per match last 7 home matches and Racing Club has scored 1.7 goals per match in their last 8 across all competitions. We definitely should see each club getting on the scoresheet at least once given numbers like these but definitely looking for much more than just 2 goals given all of the above. 10* OVER 2 goals -145 in Colon |

Rotation #208117: Argentine Primera Division | Gameweek 22 Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Barracas Central vs River Plate @ 2 ET - Barracas Central having a rough season and in trouble against a top club here. They should be good for scoring a goal though here at home as they are averaging 1 goal per game. However, they will struggle to stop the top team in the league. Not only is River Plate at the top of the league, they are the highest-scoring team in the league. They are favored by as much as a goal and a half on the goal line for a reason. I am looking for a 3-1 final here but even 2-1 gets the job done for us but also don't be surprised if we see a 3-0 thrashing here either. This could be a blowout but, either way, look for at least 3 goals. River Plate's last 6 matches away from home in league action have averaged 3 goals apiece. Barracas Central has seen last 7 matches in league action average 3 goals apiece as well. 10* OVER 2.5 in Barracas Central |

Rotation #205621 - League of Ireland Premier Friday 10* Top Play OVER 3.5 in St Patrick's vs UC Dublin @ 2:45 ET - St Patrick's matches have averaged 3 goals apiece this season. They are scoring about 2 goals per match this season at home. Here they will take advantage of facing a UC Dublin club that is allowing an average of 3 goals per match when on the road this season! I am looking for a 4-0 or 3-1 type final here given the above numbers. The key is UC Dublin just snapped a 10-game winless run with a 2-1 win however and I could see them having some extra confidence here as a result. They will still give up plenty of goals here but don't be surprised if they make the net ripple at least once in this one. The result should be at least 4 goals. St Patrick's is favored by 2.5 goals on the goal line for a reason. 3-1 or 4-0 or even 3-2 or 4-1 we are going to see plenty of goals here the way I see it. 10* OVER 3.5 in St Patrick's |

Rotation #224845: Copa Sudamericana | Group Stage Thursday OVER 2.5 -135 in Santos vs Blooming @ Estadio Urbano Caldeira in Santos, Brazil @ 6 ET - Blooming is off a 2-0 loss but, prior to this, they had both conceded and scored in 6 straight matches. We just need 3 goals to be a winner here. Prior to the 2-0 loss, Blooming had seen 16 of last 20 matches total at least 3 goals! As for Santos, they have allowed at least 2 goals in 3 of last 4 matches. They are the big favorite here for a reason however so, even if they concede, look for them to also score well on their way to a likely victory. Hence, I am forecasting at least a 2-1 final with the spark from the managerial change also insuring a bit of an aggressive attacking style in this one as there is some renewed enthusiasm here. Both clubs already destined for early exits from this year's Copa Sudamericana so it is not like there is pressure for defensive intensity here. In other words, look for a wide-open affair with plenty of attacking chances throughout the match. OVER 2.5 -135 in Santos |

Rotation #224817: Copa Sudamericana | Group Stage Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 3.5 -120 in Bragantino vs Tacuary @ 6 ET - The last time these clubs met it was a 4-1 Bragantino win in early April. I would not be surprised to see 5 goals again but certainly feel we should see at least 4. Note that Bragantino has scored an average of 2 goals per match last 11 matches. Tacuary has scored an average of 1.6 goals last 10 matches plus has allowed an average of 2 goals in last 8 matches. Per all the above, don't be surprised if each club gets to 2 goals in this one and we see a 3-2 type final. 10* OVER 3.5 -120 in Bragantino |

Rotation #224205: Champions League | Preliminary Round Semi-Finals: Tuesday OVER 3.5 -135 in Breidablik (Iceland) vs SP Tre Penne (San Marino) @ 3 ET - Breidablik are the champions of Iceland and Tre Penne are the champions of San Marino. Of course neither country is big in population but Iceland certainly much bigger than the Republic of San Marino. So in this case we get line value with the over the way I see it. Breidablik, on the goal line, is favored by a 3-goal margin for a reason. Will this game end 3-0? I just don't see that happening. I am looking for a 3-1 or 4-0 or 4-1 type final here. Any of those options get us the cash with this total at 3.5 goals and, hence, I really like the value here in a match the hosts should dominate. These hosts like to play more aggressive attacking styles so they will not hold back here. Breidablik has been scoring very well and Tre Penne allowed 3.6 goals in last 5 matches in Europa League action and will struggle to slow down the hosts here but the visitors should find the back of the net once as well. OVER 3.5 -135 in Breidablik |

Rotation #205605: League of Ireland Premier Monday OVER 2 -125 in Shamrock Rovers vs Derry City @ 3 ET - Shamrock has not been scoring quite as much in recent matches versus Derry City but it is still hard to ignore the fact that the Rovers are the highest scoring team in the league. They are averaging 2 goals per match this season. They have scored 11 goals last 4 matches. Off a 2-2 draw with Bohemians, I look for the Rovers to be even more aggressive in this match. Derry City enters this one off a 2-0 win. In their last road game they lost 4-1. When they face tougher teams the goals tend to fly. That 4-1 loss was to St Patrick's, another high scoring team, and Shamrock should have no problem enjoying success on the attack in this one. On the season, Derry City is allowing 1 goal per game on the road and scoring 1.6 goals per game when away from home. In other words, just can't see this one ending with less than a 2-1 final. Note that Derry City has only 2 draws in 10 road matches this season. 1-1 draw not so likely but would still get us a push here. I am looking for at least 3 goals and the win here.

06-26-23 | St. Patrick's Ath. v. Dundalk OVER 2.75 | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
Rotation #205601: League of Ireland Premier Monday OVER 2.5 -130 in Dundalk vs St Patrick's @ 2:45 ET - Dundalk home games are averaging 3.8 goals apiece. They have scored an average of 2.2 goals at home. St Patrick's road games have averaged 3.7 goals apiece. Just on the basis of those stats alone you know we are looking at some value here with this line. However, the key to this one is also current form. Not only that, the last 3 meetings between these clubs have all totaled at least 3 goals. 7 of last 8 Dundalk matches have totaled at least 3 goals. St Patrick's is off a 1-0 win but, prior to this, 7 of last 8 matches for them totaled at least 3 goals. Those 7 matches averaged 4 goals apiece. Given current form, history between clubs, this season's home/road numbers, this one is likely to get into the 4-goal range so certainly asking for 3 goals should not be asking for too much. OVER 2.5 -130 in Dundalk |

06-25-23 | Platense v. Arsenal Sarandi OVER 2 | Top | 2-0 | Push | 0 | 7 h 41 m | Show |
Rotation #208049: Argentine Primera Division Sunday OVER 2 goals +110 in Arsenal Sarandi vs Platense @ 2:30 ET - 4 of the last 5 meetings between these clubs have totaled at least 2 goals and those 4 meetings have averaged 3 goals apiece. Arsenal has struggled on the road but note that they have gone a respectable 4-1-4 as a host and scored an average of 1.5 goals in their last 6 matches on their home pitch. I feel we have excellent value here with this total at just 2 goals. Arsenal is a different club when at home and has been playing with extra confidence when here. However, Platense has gone undefeated in last 4 matches against Arsenal and that is why I certainly would expect at least a 1-1 final here. Looking for at least 2-1 though because Platense is off a 1-0 home victory but has allowed 1.8 goals per match in their last 5 road matches. I do like the fact that Platense has scored an average of 1.1 goals last 8 matches. Definitely expect both clubs to find the back of the net here and then consider the fact that Arsenal has only 2 draws in 20 matches this season and Platense has only 1 draw in 9 road matches this season. That said, you can see why I am looking for at least a 2-1 final in this one. OVER 2 goals +110 in Arsenal Sarandi |
