great chance for standard to reach the top of the league. westerlo is not an easy opponent but today they will miss quite a few first selection players. i believe standard will get 3 points here. odds are not generous but they are fair.

boca is full of talent and capable of playing great football and destroy any defense. today they will face a weakened san martin defense since home team misses 2 influential defenders. i believe boca will stretch its winning streak today.

brighton has a good home record while cheltenham have serious scoring problems when playing away. they have only scored 2 in last 4 away games and 4 in last 8, conceding 14.

brighton has already won twice before vs cheltenham this year, and all last 5 since 1999.

i choose sociedad to win today @2.2 that imo is a generous odd. home team comes from big away success and now has to build on that. they have a fine sqaud but havent performed as expected yet. i think they are capable of a comfortable win today.

this is the right time for paok to record their first away win.
paok is a great home team but a awful traveller. today it will feel like home for paok. they will play at a neutral ground (both teams are from salonika, apollon is using iraklis ground recently) and in front of 10000 paok fans and 300 apollon fans. 2.5 is simply great odds

a full squad boca is a team that can beat any opponent at la bobonera. boca drew in the oppening game of the season. today they should win against a medium opponent and get back on track.

great chance for paderborn to grab another 3 against a depleted osnabruck site. this is a 6 point game since both teams are fighting to avoid relegation. home team is in good momentum coming from a great away win.

Sparta has played nice so far but was rather unlucky and thus has collected just 1 point so far. The time for their first win has come. Groningen comes from an auful display against Partizan for the Uefa Cup that left them with a couple of injuries too.

I think the odds for the home win are just great, so I bet on a home team that has shown that they can play nice football against a weak away team that will be a little tired and miss a couple of regulars.

Barnet which is unbeaten in the last 4 (2-2-0) welcomes Boston that has terrible sellection problems today since at least 4 regulars may be unavaible today due to injuries according to the news.



Boston is also an awful traveller this year. Their away record is just (0-0-3, 3-10). I believe that Barnet which has scored 8 in last 4, may well score another couple or more tonight and get 3 points from this encounter.

Last year home team won this 1-0.

Santos has to start winning away games against weak opposition in order to move closer to Sao Paulo.



Struggling Fortaleza managed to get a couple of point in the last 2 games. Today they will have to same target, to defend and get 1 more point, but I doubt they could stop the firepower of Santos (they scored 5 last week) and failed to score as well for one more time.

Game takes place in presidente vargas and not casteleo (the natural home ground of fortaleza)
