Odd Grenland vs Brann Bergen over 3 goals - 125 @ The Greek

Through eight games this season, Odd Grenland has yet to be shutout or keep a clean sheet. Grenland won two of their first three games but have since gone five straight games without a win. They are coming off a 6-1 loss against Valerenga. Brann Bergen is not doing much better. They have won only two of the eight games they have played. Brann was shutout in only one of their last six games and they have kept only one clean sheet out of their last seven games. They conceded three or more goals in each of their three away games this season. The three games between these two teams last season each ended with four or more goals scored and I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

Sport Huancayo vs Sport Boys over 2.5 goals - 165 @ Bookmaker

Through nine games this season, Sport Huancayo was shutout in only one game and they have kept only one clean sheet. The shutout and clean sheet happened in the first three games of the season so Huancayo has a streak of six straight games without being shutout or keeping a clean sheet. Huancayo won only one of their last six games so that just shows the defensive problems they are having. Sport Boys is not doing much better. They are coming off a 2-1 win against Vallejo which put an end to a streak of seven straight games without a win. Sport Boys conceded three or more goals in four of their last five away games. They were shutout in only two of their last ten games. With these two defenses I doubt this will turn into a defensive battle. Huancayo is a huge fav but they will not keep Sport Boys off the scoreboard.

Maritimo Funchal vs Vitoria Setubal over 2.5 goals + 105 @ Bookmaker

Maritimo has won only two of their last ten games which has just about killed their Europa League hopes for next season. Maritimo is sitting in seventh place just five points behind fifth place Guimaraes for the last Europa spot with just two games left. Maritimo scored three goals in each of their last two home games but have kept only one clean sheet out of their last six games. Vitoria Setubal is four points above the relegation zone with just two games left. Vitoria also has just two wins out of their last ten games. They conceded two or more goals in four of their last five away games. At the same time they scored two or more goals in four of their last five away games. The last two games between these two teams each ended with five or more goals scored and I doubt either team will keep a clean sheet today.

Uruguay Soccer ** Game starts at 5 PM Eastern

This is a 5 unit bet

Penarol vs CA Atenas over 2.5 goals - 150 @ Bookmaker

This is a battle of first place vs last place in the Uruguay league. Penarol is sitting in first place having not lost a game through fourteen games. They have a twelve point lead over second place Fenix. Penarol scored three or more goals in three of their last five home games and I would not be suprised if they cover this total themselves. Atenas is sitting in last place winning only three of the fourteen games they have played. Atenas is on a streak of eight straight games without a clean sheet and they conceded two or more goals in six of the eight games. The last time these two teams played, Penarol walked away with a 5-0 win. I expect another easy Penarol win with them covering this total themselves.

Los Millonarios vs La Equidad over 2.5 goals - 120 @ Bookmaker

Equidad has won five of their last six games. They are coming off a huge 4-3 win against first place Tolima. Equidad was shutout in only one of their last ten games and they have a streak going of six straight games in which they scored two or more goals. That is good news going against a Millonarios defense that did not keep a clean sheet in any of their last ten games. Millonarios has won only one of their last five games thanks to the leaky defense. They scored two goals in three of their last four home games and they will be going against an Equidad defense that has only two clean sheets out of their last ten games. I doubt this game will be a defensive battle and we should see 3+ goals scored.

Wigan vs Hull City over 2.5 goals - 103 @ The Greek

These two teams have little to play for. Hull City is set for relegation to the Championship league as they are six points from safety with just two games remaining. Hull has lost eight of their last ten games. They conceded two or more goals in four of their last five away games. Wigan will no doubt finish the season just above the relegation zone. Wigan won only two of their last eight games. They were shutout in only one of their last five home games. With little to play for I expect an open game with a few goals scored.

Gimnastic vs Real U de Irun over 2 goals - 135 @ The Greek

Gimnastic has very little to play for as they are ten points above the relegation zone and eleven points out of the promotion race. They have won their last two games after winning only one of their previous eight games. Gimnastic scored three goals in each of the two wins. They have kept only one clean sheet out of their last ten games. Real de Irun is sitting in the relegation zone and is five points from safety. Irun has only three wins out of their last ten games. They were not shutout in any of their last four away games. This game is huge for Irun if they want to try and avoid relegation while Gimnastic will try and put on a show for their fans.

Hartberg vs Red Bull Jnr Salzburg over 3 goals + 101 @ The Greek

Hartberg is in a battle to avoid relegation. They are tied with Austria Vienna (AM) for the last relegation spot but Vienna is ahead of Hartberg in goal differential by a hefty 17 goals. Hartberg has won only two of their last six games. They conceded two or more goals in six of their last ten games but they scored two goals in three of their last four home games. Salzburg has little to play for as they are ten points above the relegation zone and well out of the promotion race. Salzburg has won four of their last five games which includes last Friday's 5-1 win against First Vienna. Salzburg kept only one clean sheet out of their last five away games. I doubt either team will keep a clean sheet and we should get 4+ goals in the game.

Assyriska vs Hammarby over 2.5 goals - 119 @ The Greek

We are only four games into the Superettan season and Assyriska is tied with Orgryte for first place. Assyriska has yet to lose a game with two wins and two draws. Hammarby is just two points behind the leaders as they have won two games and lost two games this season. Hammarby scored two goals in each of the four games. Assyriska is coming off a 2-2 draw against Brage while Hammarby is coming off a 3-2 loss against Norrkoping. It is early in the season and I doubt either team will keep a clean sheet in this game. Low stakes for three or more goals.

Debrecen vs Vasas Budapest over 3.5 goals - 108 @ The Greek

Debrecen is in a battle with Videoton FC for first place in the league. Debrecen is sitting in second place just two points behind Videoton and these two teams will play this Friday. Videoton is also playing today and their game against MTK Budapest will start an hour before this game starts. Debrecen will no doubt know the halftime score of the Videoton game before they go on to the pitch. Debrecen also trails Videoton in goal differential by four goals. It will come down to these two teams to decide who is the Champion as third place Gyor is eleven points behind Debrecen. Vasas Budapest has little to play for as they are eleven points above the relegation zone and well out of the Championship race. Vasas has won only two of their last ten games. Their last three games each ended with four or more goals scored. Debrecen scored three or more goals in four of their last five league games. They have struggled on the defensive end with only two clean sheets out of their last ten games. Four of the last five games between these two teams ended with four or more goals scored. Debrecen has alot to play for while Vasas will look to play the role of spoiler.

Pacy vs Cassis Carnoux over 2.5 goals - 102 @ The Greek

This is without a doubt a must win game for Pacy if they want to keep their slim promotion hopes alive. A win today would move Pacy into fourth place just five points behind third place Troyes with three games remaining. Pacy has lost only one of their last nine games. They scored a total of ten goals in their last three games. Today Pacy will face a Cassis team that conceded two or more goals in each of their last four away games. Cassis looks set for relegation as they are nine points from safety. Cassis has only one win out of their last nine games. The last two games between these two teams each ended with four or more goals scored and I expect we will get 3+ in today's game.

Gamba Osaka vs Kawasaki over 3 goals - 111 @ The Greek

Kawasaki has won four of their last five games. The win streak has Kawasaki sitting in third place just two points behind first place Shimizu. Kawasaki scored three or more goals in three of their last four games. They conceded two or more goals in three of their last four away games. Gamba Osaka has struggled with only two wins out of their nine games played. Gamba was shutout in only one of the nine games so that just shows the defensive problems they are having. Nine of the last ten games between these two teams ended with three or more goals scored and I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

Stromsgodset vs Odd Grenland over 3 goals - 120 @ The Greek

Through the first eight games of the season, Odd Grenland was not shutout and they did not keep a clean sheet. That all came to an end this past weekend in game nine when they played to a 0-0 draw against Brann. Grenland started off the season by winning two of their first three games but they have since gone six straight games without a win. Stromsgodset is a perfect 5-0 at home this season and they scored two or more goals in four of the five games. Stromsgodset has yet to win an away game and they have only one clean sheet out of their last eight games. Three of the last four games between these two teams ended with three or more goals scored and I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

Aarau vs Basel over 3.5 goals - 103 @ The Greek

Basel has won eight of their last ten games. That has them sitting in second place just three points behind first place Young Boys. It will come down to Basel and Young Boys to decide the league championship as third place Grasshoppers is twelve points behind Basel. Young Boys and Basel are also tied in goal differential at + 36 heading into today's games. Basel scored three or more goals in six of their last nine games. They kept two clean sheets out of their last nine games. Aarau is sitting in last place which is the automatic relegation spot. They trail ninth place Bellinzona by only one point for the relegation-playoff spot. The relegation battle will come down to Aarau and Bellinzona as eighth place Xamax is sixteen points above Bellinzona. I doubt either team will keep a clean sheet today as Basel battles for first place and Aarau plays for the relegation-playoff spot.

Santos vs Atletico MG over 3.5 goals - 141 @ The Greek

Santos won the Paulista Championship this past weekend and now they will concentrate on the Brazil Cup. Atletico won the first leg 3-2. Santos was not shutout in any of their last ten games and they scored three or more goals in seven of the ten games. On the defensive end Santos has kept only one clean sheet out of their last nine games and they conceded two or more goals in each of their last four games. Atletico has won seven of their last ten games. They were shutout in only one of their last ten games and they scored two or more goals in eight of the ten games. Five of the last six games between these two teams ended with four or more goals scored and I expect another goalfest tonight.

Bellinzona vs Luzern over 3 goals - 125 @ The Greek

Luzern is in a battle to hold onto the last Europa League spot. Luzern is sitting in fourth place with a three point lead over fifth place Sion with just three games remaining. Luzern will not be able to catch third place Grasshoppers who is eight points ahead. Luzern has won their last two games which put an end to a streak of three straight games without a win. They scored four goals in each of the wins. The problem for Luzern seems to be on the defensive end with only one clean sheet out of their last ten games. Bellinzona is trying to hold onto the relegation-playoff spot instead of the automatic relegation. They are sitting in ninth place with just a one point lead over last place Aarau which is the automatic relegation spot. Relegation will come down to Bellinzona and Aarau as eighth place Xamax is ahead by sixteen points. Bellinzona is also struggling on the defensive end as they did not keep a clean sheet in any of their last ten games. They conceded two or more goals in nine of the ten games. Bellinzona was not shutout in any of their last five home games. This is a huge game for Luzern as they want to hold onto the Europa League spot which would bring in extra cash next season. Bellinzona would like to keep a hold on the relegation-playoff spot and they will look to play the role of spoiler.

Roda kept only one clean sheet out of their last ten games played. Heracles was shutout in only one of their last ten games and they scored two or more goals in seven of the ten games. Heracles has also struggled on the defensive end with only two clean sheets out of their last ten games. They conceded a total of eight goals in their last three away games. The last three games between these two teams each ended with three or more goals scored and I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

Laguna Vaqueros vs Chihuahua Dorados over 11.5 runs - 115 @ Bookmaker

The Laguna Vaqueros have won four straight games and they scored eight or more runs in three of the games. Laguna has the second highest team batting average in the league at .322 and they lead the league in runs scored with 295 this season. The problem for the Vaqueros is that they also have the worst team earned run average in the league at 6.51 this season. The Chihuahua Dorados have lost seven of their last nine games. The Dorados scored seven or more runs in five of their last seven games. Claudio Moreno will get the start for Chihuahua tonight. Moreno has a 1-5 win-loss record from eight starts this season. He did not pitch more than six innings in any of the eight starts. Right handed hitters have a .365 batting average against Moreno and left handed hitters are not far behind with a .351 average. I expect both bullpens will be busy tonight and we should have a high scoring game.

FC Lustenau vs Red Bull Jnr Salzburg over 3 goals - 101 @ The Greek

FC Lustenau has won five of their last six games which has just about made them safe from relegation. Lustenau is seven points above the relegation zone with just four games remaining. They scored two or more goals in each of their last four home games but have kept only two clean sheets out of their last ten games. Salzburg has won three of their last four games. They are sitting in sixth place just three points above Lustenau. Salzburg was shutout in only one of their last six games. They kept only one clean sheet out of their last six away games and they conceded two or more goals in four of the six games. Both teams have little to play for as they are safe from relegation and well out of the promotion race. I expect some goals in an open game.
