Helsinki vs Mariehamn betting tips 13 September Finland Veikkausliiga By DamirJ

Helsinki vs Mariehamn betting tips 13 September Finland Veikkausliiga: "After terrible end of July and start of August when Helsinki had only one victory and three draws, scoring only three goals in those four matches in the domestic league and exclusion from Champions League qualifiers from Estonian Nomme Kalju (1:2 on aggregate), things are looking much better for Helsinki now with three victories in a row in most recent matches."

They started improving three weeks ago with a 4:2 victory over Honka, continued building up on that performance with a 2:1 home victory over MyPa and have finally given a very good performance away from home in the last round when they demolished Jaro 5:1 with two goals from Forssell, once by Zeneli, Alho and Mattila. With three victories in a row, they got back to the top of the standings now, having one point more than second placed Honka and a game less. Team finally looks rock solid and it’s hard to imagine them now getting back to poor results once they regained confidence and have all the chances of taking another domestic title. Their striking duo Forssell and Savege works just fine, netting seventeen goals till now in the season. There is no other option for them today but another victory over Mariehamn, just as they did in previous meeting when they won them 5:0 on the road back in June. In last moments of the transfer window they sold talented striker Joel Pohjanpalo (21/5) to Aalen. Home side has no absentees for this game.Despite many defense weaknesses all season long, Mariehamn is still managing to keep up pretty high at the table being currently at fifth position which seems to be very high for a team with the second worst defense in the league. However, truth to be told, they are also second best offense in the league, as the team struggles to find the right balance in their games, but the results are still coming on their side.

They are coming from a 1:1 home draw against Inter Turku, a game that was very open from both sides with many chances, while the hosts might have been more satisfied with the draw as they equalized at counter attack only four minutes before the full time. Their coach is aware that Helsinki is more quality team that they are, saying that they will have to react this time on counter attacks, as their opponent is a team that likes to hold the ball to their feet and are strong at it. It won’t be an easy game for visitors as they will couple of several very important players. Injured are goalkeeper Nurme (3/0), but also defender Vartto who still didn’t make a performance this year but was a key player previous season, midfielder Diego Assis (15 matches, 4 goals, 8 assists)  and striker Orgill (13/8) all sidelined with different injury problems.

Helsinki have won their last five home matches in Veikkausliiga.
Helsinki didn’t concede in their last four matches against IFK Mariehamn.
Big quality difference between two each other and goal difference of 20:1 in Helinski’s favor in last five matches between two of them, make Helinski absolute favorite today. They are coming from three straight victories, with improved atmosphere in their locker room and should completely dominate against one of the weakest defenses in the league.

Bet: Helsinki -1.5 Asian handicap

Hertha vs Stuttgart betting tips 13 September Germany Bundesliga Gustav

Hertha vs Stuttgart betting tips 13 September Germany Bundesliga: "Four a newly promoted side, Hertha made more than decent start into the season as they have 2-1-1 record after four matches and show no signs of bigger problems in their roster. They won 6:1 at home against Eintracht Frankfurt in a season opener and gave one of the better performances of the team for years."

In second round, they were also very close to get away with a victory while visiting Nuremberg, but have conceded a equalizing goal in the last moments of the match. After that game, they outplayed HSV at home with a 1:0 result and goal from Ramos in the last quarter while the match was very open one and both sides missed few good opportunities. However, in the last round they made a small setback, but still defeat was expected sooner or later as they gone down to Wolfsburg on the road with a 2:0 score and both goals conceded in last three minutes of the first halftime. The team didn’t have the best of luck so far with injuries, as they will miss offensive midfielder Baumjohann (4 matches, 3 assists) as a new absentee who will be out for several months, with Brazilian Ronny (4 matches, 2 goals) being fully ready to replace him. Moreover, hosts will most probably miss right back Ndjeng (1/0), while central defender Langkamp (4/0) is also questionable but might be given some playing time.It seems that the things are finally starting to look better for Stuttgart after the new coach Thomas Schneider has arrived just a few days before their last match when they won Hoffenheim with the score of 6:2 in the last round’s match two weeks ago. Arrival of the new coach came in the right time, as the team lost their place in Europa League group stage alongside very poor start in Bundesliga.

Small break in the domestic duties have surely benefited to the team as they got the new coach too and he had some time to implement his ideas to roster. Apart from the previous victory, they have lost matches to Augsburg, Leverkusen and Mainz, but the poor days seem to water under the bridge with the arrival of Schneider. Tonight they will have to rely on their best player, striker Ibisevic who scored five goals in first three rounds, while the team would surely be satisfied enough with a draw too. Central defender Georg Niedermeier (1/0) continues to be out till the end of this month, while offensive midfielders Daniel Didavi and Marco Rojas continue to be out from the start of the season. During the last days of the transfer window they have sold important defender Serdar Tasci to Spartak Moscow.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in six of Stuttgart’s last seven away games in the Bundesliga.
Hertha Berlin have won their last three home matches in Bundesliga.
Stuttgart has finally started to play real football and they are expected to continue their rise, especially in the offensive part of the game. Disregarding the final outcome, which is very hard to predict, the game should be very open with both teams scoring couple of goals as neither of them seem to have very reliable defensive line at the moment.

Bet: Over 2.75 goals

Palermo vs Cesena betting tips 13 September Italy Serie B Sunshine

Palermo vs Cesena betting tips 13 September Italy Serie B: "Palermo is already under pressure after only three rounds played in Serie B, as the team didn’t start the season the way they wanted. They were excluded from the Cup competition by Verona which isn’t a surprise as their opponents are playing now in Serie A, but nobody in the club was satisfied with first two rounds when the team stayed winless."

They only drew in a league opener away to Modena 1:1, but the real disappointment came with the home match against Empoli where they were defeated 1:2, however it’s worth mentioning that the team played for sixty minutes with a man less and it was tough to get much more positive result. Finally, in the third round Palermo showed their real face, winning over Padova on the road last weekend with the 3:0 result. Now, with improved atmosphere the team is awaiting their second home match with the solely goal to win the game as easier as possible and start climbing up at the table. After rumors of removal of current coach Gattuso the players responded very well and they are expected to continue in the same manner. Midfielder N’Goyi is coming back in the squad after he served the suspension, but striker Troianiello will be sidelined with suspension after he received red card in Padova near the full time whistle.Cesena is coming from a very poor performance last weekend as the team suffered their first defeat in the season, losing against Lanciano with a narrow 0:1 result. Visitors have scored a goal at the beginning of the second half in a game that didn’t have many goalscoring chances, while the draw would also be a fair result.

With this defeat, Cesena now has six points being currently at high third position. Their goal for this season would be to make a safe ending of the season, as they did in last year, finishing the league with eight points more than first relegated team. For now, they are doing very well with victories over Crotone and Varese, but everyone understands that the season won’t be that easy. Their coach Bisoli will be able to count at striker Succi (3/0) who was affected with a viral infection, but will be recovered for the game. Only absentee for them should be defender Almici who is still to make his debut in the season.

After morale boosting victory over Padova, we should see Palermo rising their form from week to week and Cesena, which is traditionally weak away from home shouldn’t be much of a obstacle for individually much more quality home side.

Bet: Palermo Wins

Galatasaray vs Antalyaspor betting tips 13 September Turkey Super Lig By Neuro

Galatasaray vs Antalyaspor betting tips 13 September Turkey Super Lig: "Galatasaray will open the third round of Turkish championship this Friday night as they welcome Antalyaspor. Their target for this match will be to seal the victory as quick as possible as they are also awaiting Champions League’s first round match against Real Madrid at home next Tuesday and everyone wants clear victory without complicating the game much."

Their start of the season wasn’t the best one, as Galatasaray has two consecutive draws after a season opener victory over Gaziantepspor at home. Draws came against Bursaspor away from home 1:1 and even more disappointing was their third round’s match when they hosted Eskisehirspor but were limited to a goalless game. Worrying enough is that the team didn’t make many chances in these two matches and offensive part of the game is something that they surely worked out a lot during international break. Team is already four points below Besiktas who are current leaders and the victory is a must thing for them tonight. Their coach Fatih Terim will not count at left back Riera and central defender Nounkeu who are anyway yet to perform this season, while midfielder Altintop faces with injury and will also be sidelined.Antalyaspor is coming from another poor performance two weeks ago when they hosted Bursaspor and were defeated with a 1:2 result. It seems that the magic from previous season has gone now, as they did great for most of the year and that the team has now big problems in creative part of the match and especially troubles scoring goal.

In first three matches of the season they have scored only one goal, as Milan Baros netted once against Bursa, while they were quite lucky to pull out two goalless draw at the beginning of the season – at home against Kayseri and on the road with Gaziantepspor. Thing to be worse for them, they didn’t sign any player late in the transfer period, instead of it they got weakened as they sold their play maker and one of the better players in previous season Moroccan midfielder Ismail Aissati. Experienced central defender Baris is sidelined without participation yet, same as left back Wederson.

Galatasaray have won their last six home matches in Super Lig.
Galatasaray have scored at least two goals in their last six home matches in Super Lig.
Antalyaspor didn’t win their last thirteen away matches in Super Lig.
Guests are coming with huge offensive problems that won’t be fixed out of nowhere and it will be very hard for them to keep competitive during the game under such circumstances. Galatasaray will try to seal the victory from the first minute and should get a bit easier victory than the bookmakers expect.

Bet: Galatasaray -1.25 Asian handicap
