New coach for Kaiserslautern: Funstuck, the ex-coach of the U23 team, has replaced Runjaic as the team’s head coach; a tough debut for him tonight against Bochum, which is sitting at the top of the table, away from home.
A 100% goal-goal record: Fulham has had 7 goal-goal outcomes in 7 games this season and is playing tonight away from home against QPR which has had 6 goal-goal outcomes in 7 games this season. Prediction: - goal/goal - 188Bet (1.69)
Porto’s defensive record: Porto has conceded only 2 goals in 5 games this season, a fact that may prove decisive in tonight’s away clash against Moreirense which is holding a position at the other end of the table. Prediction: - 2/clean sheet for Porto – Stoiximan (1.80)
A balanced situation: Reims has had 3 draws in 7 games this season and Lille has had 3 draws in its 3 so far away games this season, with a total of 1 win, 4 draws and 1 defeat and a 2-2 goals’ aggregate.
Sparta R. Vs Telstar: A good over 2.5 goals choice since Sparta has had 3/3 over 2.5 goals home games this season (11-2 goals’ aggregate) and Telstar has had 5/7 over 2.5 goals games this season and a 1-10 goals’ aggregate in 3 away games. Over 2.5 goals – Marathon (1.40)
A suicide: It will be more like a suicide for Valerenga if it doesn’t beat Start at home in order to keep its chances alive for qualification into next season’s European competitions. Start has scored and conceded 40 goals in 12 away games and Valerenga has scored and conceded 35 goals in 12 away games. Prediction: - over 2.5 goals – Marathon (1.60)
In different directions: Westerlo is sitting at the bottom of the table and will be missing its most important striker, Gounongbe, from tonight’s away game against Zulte Waregem which is aiming for its 5th win in 9 games this season. Prediction: - 1 - Betadonis (1.56)
Another tough call: Piast is holding the top place in the league and is aiming to keep the 6 point difference from the teams that follow, by beating Slask away from home. It should be noted however that Slask has only been beaten once in 5 home games this season.
A shocking result: Falkirk is still unbeaten in the league, managing 2 wins in 2 games at home and picking up 8 points in 4 games away from home. However, it is coming from a shocking 7-0 away defeat from Ross County for the cup competition in the middle of the week, a result which is expected to have an effect in tonight’s home game against Queen of South.
More than half of the teams: In Ireland, with 5 games to go until the end of the season, 7 out of the 12 teams are still battling in order to avoid relegation.
