CA Bastia vs Laval betting tips 27 September Ligue 2 By Sunshine

CA Bastia vs Laval betting tips 27 September Ligue 2: "CA Bastia could have done much better in their previous game as they were playing with a man more for last fifty minutes, but couldn’t score a goal and suffered another defeat, this time with a 1:0 result away to Auxerre. Hosts took an early lead, but stood with a man less from 40th minute, while their goalkeeper had few great saves in the second half while the visitors left the field once again empty handed."

With this defeat, CA Bastia stays at the bottom of the table having only three points earned till now, with three draws, while they also show that they have no luck, next to lack of quality of course. The Coach has praised his players for the effort they made, especially in the second half, and stressed that the similar effort will bring them desired result next time, especially when playing in front of their own fans. Still, the team has scored only three goals so far in eight matches and no matter what, there is no doubt that they will have very tough time staying in the league this season. Important midfielders Marty (5/0) and N’Diaye (5/0), defender Romey (5/0) will miss out again, while the new loss for the team is injured Cropanese (6/1). Their roster is anyway quite weak without too much depth and it’s yet to be seen will the players be capable to answer their duties once again, for the third time in eight days.


Laval, on the other side, is coming from a 2:1 victory over Brest couple of days ago. It was a fairly taken victory as the hosts went too strong into the game, getting a lead in 22nd minute and even though Brest equalized, Laval players weren’t nervous and got the important victory later on. On the other side, Brest was just a modest side in that game and were fairly defeated.

It was a important victory for Laval, that got a fresh breath and now have six points earned and are just about to escape from the relegating places. Still, it’s obvious that their form is going up, as the team took their only two victories in the championship in last three games. However, their main weakness remains defensive lineup as they have conceded thirteen goals already, but no doubt that the players have raised the confidence and that we can expect better performances from them, even away from home. Left back Rippert (6/0) is out for this game, same as central defender Stosic (3/0).

There have been under 2.5 goals scored in CA Bastia’s last six games in Ligue 2.
CA Bastia have failed to score in their last four matches in Ligue 2.
Laval have lost six of their last seven away matches in Ligue 2.
Laval is coming from a victory that will surely improve their self-confidence and meanwhile, their biggest problem remain shaky defense, they won’t be having too much to worry against a side that struggles a lot in order to score. Visitors are surely a bit more quality side and shouldn’t be rated as underdogs in this one.

Bet: Laval 0 Asian handicap

Aalen vs Koln betting tips 2. Bundesliga 27 September By Gustav

Aalen vs Koln betting tips 2. Bundesliga 27 September: "Aalen is coming from a 2:1 victory over Bochum away from home last weekend. Visitors entered the game with a goal in third minute, but have also quickly conceded the equalizer ten minutes later. Later on, home side was much more concrete, had much more of the ball possession and chances, but against the flow of the match, Aalen players scored the second one in 70th minute but have also defended very well during the last twenty minutes."

With this victory, they remained unbeaten for fourth consecutive match, although it must be said that the team was lucky in some moments, especially in a game in Bochum. Start in the season is positive for them with a 3-3-2 record, team earned twelve points in first eight rounds and occupies position in the middle of the table. If they continue to gather results in that manner, they won’t be having problems staying in the league in late May. On Tuesday night they were defeated by Wolfsburg 2:0 in a Cup game and were excluded from the competition. Although they had couple of chances too, were fairly defeated against obviously stronger side.

Left back Buballa (8/1) will lose his second match after missing out the Cup game, although protective mask may allow him participation. Goalkeeper Fejzic (8/0) will return between the posts, while defensive midfielder Hainault (3/0) will lose the third consecutive match together with offensive midfielder Pohjanpalo who is without participation this season.Koln, on the other side, is coming from a goalless draw at home against Kaiserslautern last weekend. In a game that had a really fast pace, guests had a bit more of a game play, having much more of the ball possession and chances created, but couldn’t convert chances into goals. It has to be said that the game was very good, being far away from the typical 2. Bundesliga match.

Players of Koln maintained their unbeaten run now to eight matches into the new season with a record of three victories and five draws. Coach Stoger was satisfied after the game, saying that although they didn’t win, in case they continue playing against all other teams like that, they will have no problem getting the victories against the majority of the teams in the league. They are also coming from a 1:0 victory over Bundesliga side Mainz on the road in a Cup match, victory that will surely improve their morale even further. Central defender Nascimento (6/0) is doubtful with chances to play, while McKenna still didn’t recover from injury, same as offensive midfielder Chihi and central midfielder Bigalke, all three being without participation this season.

Koln is undefeated in last eleven official matches.
Visitors have much more quality side and depth in their roster. They are doing very well at the moment and coming from a victory over Mainz might only push them to even better performance against Aalen than needed. Easier victory is expected against a side that was lucky too many times this season.

Bet: Koln -0.25 Asian handicap

Valladolid vs Malaga betting tips Primera By Sunshine

Valladolid vs Malaga betting tips Primera: "Valladolid is coming from a bit of a unexpected point taken away from home against Levante on Tuesday night in a 1:1 final result draw. Hosts had more chances created and took the lead in 36th minute with a goal from Diawara, but the visitors quickly responded with an equalizer six minutes later when Guerra scored."

Two minutes later, in 44th minute of the match, visitors stayed with a man less when Bergdich got red carded and penalty awarded for Levante. They missed the penalty, were slightly better side in the repetition, but Valladolid stood well in the defense and fairly took one point even though they had to play with ten players for more than one halftime. Exactly left back Bergdich was guilty for a goal conceded, while he also made a penalty and got red carded, but everything will be quickly forgotten as the team took their second draw away from home. Coming into this game, they would surely like to get the second home victory this season, but also understanding that the draw would be good result for them too.

As understood, left back Bergdich is suspended for this game and his position will be covered by Pena, while Valiente is coming back to the starting eleven and his natural position of central defender.Malaga, on the other side, is coming from a 2:0 home victory over Almeria also on Tuesday night. The game itself wasn’t that interesting at the start of the match and during whole first halftime, while the hosts entered the second half much more determined to get the three pointer and took the lead in 68th minute with a goal from Tissone. In last moments of the game Portillo sealed the three pointer making a 2:0 final result.

Their start early in the season can be described as a solid one, the team has 2-2-2 record and is at eight position, knowing that they still can show a lot more. Away from home they count two draws and a defeat, being without a victory from 30th March this year, while the team will look to break the negative run and try to get the three pointer tonight. Coach Schuster will probably not change much for this game, as the team worked pretty well in a match against Almeria and he didn’t have many complaints for his starting eleven. In case he makes some changes, it will most probably be in the midfield. Experienced central defender Welington is still not recovered from his injury, without participation this season.

Valladolid have seen under 2.5 goals in seven of their last eight home matches against Malaga.
Malaga have kept a clean sheet in their last three matches in Primera.
Malaga have failed to win their last eight away matches in Primera.
Neither of these two teams seems to be willing to take a lot of risk when trying to attack. Valladolid is mostly struggling with scoring goals and Malaga is not far away in offensive quality when playing away from their own home.

Bet: Under 2.5 goals

Angers vs Tours betting tips 28 September Ligue 2 By Sunshine

Angers vs Tours betting tips 28 September Ligue 2: "Angers had a great chance to come up from visiting Troyes with all three points, but the visitors weren’t able to keep the 3:0 lead till the end of the match. They entered the game very strongly, pushed for a goal and were 2:0 up at the half-time, while they added the third goal in 56th minute, all goals scored by Yattara."

However, since then, everything turned upside down and the home side were able to equalize the result with three goals, from 67th to 78th minute. Even with this result, they didn’t lost the first position at the table as the team has great 5-2-1 record and are still three points above the fourth placed team, the one that isn’t getting the promotion to Championnat. Striker Yatarra recently came on loan from Lyon and has found the net in both matches he played, scoring four goals till now and it seems that he offers additional extra quality to their offensive lineup. Midfielder Gamboa (7/2 goals, 3 assists) is suspended, while substitute striker Blayac (6/2) is injured, same as experienced defender Konate (6/0) and offensive midfielder El Jadeyaoui (3/0).Tours, on the other hand, is coming from a 3:1 victory at home over Lens two days ago, as the team showed stability in their defense and overall, very good performance in front of the home crowd. Delort scored twice in the first halftime, while the visitors reduced the deficit in the middle of the second half, but the hosts managed to take a 3:1 victory even though they have played with a man less in last twenty minutes.

After this victory team has now four victories, two draws and two defeats, currently occupying the third position and being only three points below their tonight’s rival. Their target is to play as good as possible, while the team surely has the quality to do something more in the league, but it’s still early to be said whether the team has the potential to get the promotion this season. Right after the reducing goal from Lens, offensive midfielder Diaz (4/0) got red carded and coach Pantaloni will not be able to count at him in next match. Apart from Diaz, there is no other important absentee for the guests.

Angers have seen under 2.5 goals in five of their last six matches against Tours.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in five of Tours’s last six games in Ligue 2.
Both teams are very high at the table and will surely look to continue in the way they did till now. Both are sharing the first position with the number of goals scored till now and neither of them will be defending. Open game with both team scoring at least a goal is highly expected here.

Bet: Both teams to score

Augsburg vs Gladbach betting tips By Gustav

Augsburg vs Gladbach betting tips: "Augsburg suffered a 2:1 defeat last weekend when they visited Hannover as the first halftime was pretty boring without chances on each of the sides, all until 51st minute when Augsburg took the lead with a goal from penalty which was awarded in a really strict way. However, hosts pushed a lot for the equalizer from then on, getting a equalizer with a bizarre goal nine minutes later."

Eventually, Augsburg lost with a goal conceded in 89th minute, as the team broke the run of three victories in a row in Bundesliga when they defeated Stuttgart, Nurnberg and Freiburg. Even so, they were able to quickly get back to the winning ways and overpower Pr Munster in the Cup game with a 3:0 result and get a qualification to the next round of the Cup competition. They have yet to draw in Bundesliga, having currently 3-0-3 record and being in the middle of the table. They will surely to to get another victory tonight, as the team opened the season in quite a good way and now might seek securing the Bundesliga status for next year much sooner than expected.

Home side coach Weinzierl might field up unchanged team in comparison to last week as striker Raul Bobadilla continues to be their only, already long term absentee.Gladbach, on the other side, is coming from a easy earned 4:1 victory at home over newly promoted Braunschweig. They had opportunity to secure three pointer in an easy way and took it in style, opening the game strongly as they were 2:0 up already in the first halftime. Although visitors have reduced the score, that’s all they could do, while the final score was sealed fifteen minutes before the end with the second goal from Raffael.

With this victory, they have earned nine points till now, being tied with four more teams at the table including their tonight’s rivals. They might be even more fresh for this game, as the team was excluded from the Cup back in August and they had no Cup obligations this week, having more time to prepare for this one. They will surely have to improve performances away from home as the team currently counts three victories at home, but also three defeats away from it. Injured captain and left back Daems *5/1) will not be able to participate, while midfielder Xhaka (6/1) is serving a suspension with substitute midfielder Younes (5/0) also being sidelined for the match.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Gladbach’s last eight games in the Bundesliga.

Gladbach have conceded at least two goals in their last seven away matches in the Bundesliga.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Augsburg’s last five home games in the Bundesliga.
Unlike in previous season, Augsburg has made a right step into the new season and looks very dangerous, especially at home. No doubt that they are keen to show how far can they go, while Gladbach is coming from a very good performance and had a lot of time to see what’s wrong in their away performances. Open game is expected with both teams netting couple of times at least.

Bet: Over 2.5 goals
