Coventry to beat Brentford 6/5:
First to Coventry (technically Northampton) for a League One clash. Despite a ten point reduction at the start of the season, Coventry sit just outside the relegation zone and would be on the verge of the play-offs without the deduction. Cov are in good form with just one defeat in their last seven. They have been playing especially well at Sixfields where they are unbeaten in their four matches with three wins in that time. They take on a Brentford side tipped for promotion but sit in tenth. Brentford’s form isn’t bad with two wins and two draws in their last five matches. However, they have just one win in their last seven on the road. A lot of these have been draws but up against a Coventry side who are so good at “home” they should succumb.
Espanyol to beat Getafe 4/5:
Espanyol may only be the second biggest club in Barcelona but they are going well of late. They lost their first game of the season on Thursday and sit 6th in La Liga. At home they are unbeaten and have two wins out of three matches and are looking to have a good year. They take on a Getafe side down in 16th They have just one win to date and have lost all their away matches this season. They are also on a seven match away losing streak stretching back to last season. Espanyol have made a strong start to the year and should carry it on against a weaker Getafe side.
Inter to beat Calgiari 21/20:
To Italy now and Inter Milan who are really beginning to look like the real deal. Coming from behind to beat Fiorentina on Thursday night, they are unbeaten in their five league games this season. Four wins and a draw to their name and no Europe to distract them, Inter could be really successful. So far on the road this season they have won 7-0 and 3-0 and are travelling well. They take on a Cagliari side who haven’t started badly and sit mid-table. They have drawn their last three and not won since the opening day now. Against a team playing so well in Inter and getting results though, they should suffer their first home defeat of the season.
Roma to beat Bologna 4/11:
Short odds here but with good reason. Roma have made a great start to their league campaign winning all five matches. They sit top of the division and really are flying. They have also dispatched Verona and Lazio comfortably at home and will feel good taking on Bologna. Bologna have struggled so far this season and sit down in 16th. They have yet to win a match this season and have three points courtesy of three draws. They have lost one and drawn one of their two away matches and the defeat came to a quality Napoli side. Against more class in Roma I expect Bologna to struggle again and register another defeat.
Feyenoord to beat Den Haag 2/7:
To Holland last of all and Feyenoord who after a poor start have really turned their form around. After losing their first three matches they are now unbeaten in their last five and won three of them. All three of them victories came at home and they will be confident of more here. Den Haag sit 17th in the Dutch League just one spot off the bottom. After 6 matches they have just one win to their name and are struggling. They have just one win in their last thirteen away matches and have lost six of their last seven on the road. An on the up Feyenoord should prevail here.
