Debrecen vs Gyor over 3 goals - 105 @ The Greek

With just two games remaining in the season, Debrecen is sitting in first place with a one point lead over second place Videoton. Debrecen trails Videoton in goal differential by two goals. Debrecen's five game win streak came to an end this past weekend with a 2-1 loss at Ujpest. Debrecen was shutout in only one of their last ten games and they scored two or more goals in seven of the ten games. On the defensive end Debrecen has kept only two clean sheets out of their last nine games. Gyor is sitting in third place which is the last Europa League spot. They have no chance of reaching the top two but they also have a slim two point lead over fourth place Ujpest. Gyor has gone ten straight games without a loss. They have gone seven straight games without being shutout. Both teams have alot to play for and I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

Santos vs Gremio over 3.5 goals - 104 @ The Greek

Gremio won the first leg of this semifinal 4-3. Santos was held to a 1-1 draw this past weekend by Ceara in Serie A play. Still Santos has had fourteen of their last sixteen games end with four or more goals scored. Gremio was shutout in only two of their last ten games played. Like the first leg I doubt this will be a defensive battle. We may not see seven goals scored but I like the chances of 4+ scored.

Laguna Vaqueros vs Chihuahua Dorados over 12 runs - 120 @ Bookmaker

Chihuahua took game one of this three game series 6-4 last night. That also put an end to the streak of the last eight games between these two teams ending with fourteen or more runs scored. Laguna still has the worst team earned run average in the league at 6.58 this season. They make up for that by having the second highest team batting average in the league at .318 and leading the league in runs scored with 380. Chihuahua has now won four of their last five games. They scored six or more runs in each of the wins. Well the streak ended last night but I expect a new one to start tonight for 14+ runs scored.

MTK Budapest vs Kecskemeti Te over 3 goals - 133 at The Greek

Both teams have little to play for with just one game remaining after today. With results from yesterday, Kecskemeti is now safe from relegation. They have picked up only three wins out of their last ten games. Kecskemeti was not shutout and they did not keep a clean sheet in any of their last nine games. They scored two or more goals in seven of the nine games. MTK Budapest is in a battle with Ferencvarosi for sixth place in the league. MTK has lost four of their last five games. They were shutout in only one of their last nine games and kept only one clean sheet out of their last seven games. MTK scored two or more goals in four of their last five home games. Three of the last four games between these two teams ended with four or more goals scored and I expect another high scoring game today.

Universidad de Chile vs Flamengo over 3 goals - 103 @ The Greek

The first leg of this quarterfinal matchup ended with Universidad de Chile winning 3-2 at Flamengo. Universidad's last four games played each ended with three or more goals scored. Flamengo was shutout once and they kept only one clean sheet out of their last ten games played. They conceded two goals in three of their last four away games. Each of 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.

Austria Vienna (Am) vs FC Dornbirn 1913 over 3 goals - 159 @ The Greek

With just two games remaining in the season, these two teams already know they are relegated. Vienna has lost six of their last eight games which sealed their fate. Through their last ten games, Vienna was shutout in only one game but they did not keep a clean sheet. They conceded two or more goals in eight of their last ten games. Vienna scored two or more goals in four of their last six home games. Dornbirn is sitting in last place and has known for a few weeks that they are relegated. They have lost eight of their last nine games. Dornbirn conceded four or more goals in three of their last four games. With nothing to play for I expect an open game with 4+ goals scored.

Moulins vs Luzenac over 2.5 goals - 103 @ The Greek

This is the last day of the National season and Moulins already knows they are relegated. They picked up only one win out of their last seven games which sealed their fate. Moulins was shutout in only one of their last five home games. Luzenac has nothing to play for as they are safe from relegation and out of the promotion race. They have won three of their last four games and they scored two or more goals in six of their last seven games. Luzenac has kept only two clean sheets out of their last nine games. Luzenac beat Moulins 3-0 earlier this season but I doubt either team will keep a clean sheet today.

Monterrey Sultanes vs Nuevo Laredo Tecolotes over 9.5 runs - 115 @ Bookmaker

The Monterrey Sultanes put an end to their three game losing streak with a 5-2 win against Reynosa last night. Former major leaguer Luis A Garcia leads the team with a .355 batting average. He also leads the league with 16 home runs this season. The Nuevo Laredo Tecolotes have lost six straight games. They conceded twelve or more runs in three of their last four games. Monterrey is a huge fav in this game and I expect they may cover this total themselves but they will not shutout the Tecolotes.

They were not shutout in any of their last ten games and they scored two or more goals in seven of the ten games. Girona is six points above the relegation zone with five games remaining. They have lost four of their last six games. Girona has gone six straight games without keeping a clean sheet. Girona beat Elche 3-2 earlier this season but Elche has alot more to play for today.

KSZO Ostrowiec vs Sandecja Nowy Sacz over 2.5 goals - 130 @ Bookmaker

Sandecja is sitting in third place and they trail second place Gornik Zabrze by six points for the last promotion spot with four games remaining. Gornik Zabrze played and won yesterday so Sandecja can cut the lead to three points with a win today. Sandecja has only two defeats out of their last ten games played. They have gone seven straight games without being shutout but have kept only two clean sheets out of their last ten games. Ostrowiec is out of the promotion race and they look to be safe from relegation with just four games remaining. They have lost only two of their last nine games. Ostrowiec has gone six straight games without being shutout but have kept two clean sheets out of their last seven games. Sandecja has alot to play for today while Ostrowiec has the chance to play the role of spoiler.

Sporting Cristal is sitting in second place just four points behind first place San Martin. Sporting has only one loss out of their last eight games. They were not shutout in any of the eight games and they scored a total of ten goals in their last three home games. Sporting has kept only one clean sheet out of their last nine games. Cienciano has won two straight games which put an end to a streak of four straight games without a win. They scored a total of seven goals in the two wins. Cienciano has kept only one clean sheet out of their last ten games and they conceded two or more goals in three of their last five away games. The last time these two teams played the game ended in a 5-5 draw. I doubt we will see ten goals today but I expect we will see 3+ goals scored.

They scored two or more goals in three of their last five home games. Equidad was also shutout in only one of their last ten league games. They scored two or more goals in eight of the ten games. Equidad kept only one clean sheet out of their last seven league games. There was a total of eleven goals scored in the last two games between these two teams and I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

Laguna Vaqueros vs Mexico Diablos Rojos over 11.5 runs - 145 @ Bookmaker

Laguna won game one of this three game series 6-5 last night which put an end to their five game losing streak. The Vaqueros still have the worst team earned run average in the league at 6.46 this season. Laguna makes up for that by having the second highest team batting average in the league at .313. They also lead the league in runs scored with 388 this season. The Mexico Diablos Rojos rank third in the league with a .311 team batting average. They also lead the league with 56 home runs and rank third in the league with 344 runs scored. Mexico will look to end their five game losing streak tonight. This will not be a pitchers duel and I expect both bullpens to be busy tonight.

Gangwon FC vs Jeonbuk Motors over 3 goals + 109 @ The Greek

I should start by saying that The Greek has Jeonbuk listed as Chonbuk in a bit of a misspelling. Jeonbuk opened Cup group play this past weekend with a 2-1 win against Gyeongnam. Jeonbuk has struggled recently in league play with only one win out of their last five games. They were not shutout in any of their last ten games and they scored two or more goals in five of the games. Jeonbuk has struggled on the defensive end with only one clean sheet out of their last eight games. Gangwon had the weekend off since their is five teams in each group. They have also struggled lately in league play with only one win out of their last seven games. Gangwon kept only one clean sheet out of their last ten games and they conceded two or more goals in six of the ten games. They were shutout in only one of their last five home games. The last two games between these two teams each ended with four or more goals scored and I expect a goalfest today with both defenses struggling.

Debrecen and Zalaegerszeg meet in the Cup final after league play finished up this past Sunday. Debrecen won the league title even after losing 1-0 against Kecskemeti. Second place Videoton also lost on Sunday which gave the title to Debrecen. Zalaegerszeg finished in fifth place in the league. Debrecen was shutout in only two of their last nine games and they scored two or more goals in six of the nine games. Zalaegerszeg was shutout in only one of their last eight games and they scored two or more goals in five of the eight games. Each of the last six games between these two teams ended with three or more goals scored and I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

On the defensive end, Equidad has kept only one clean sheet out of their last eight games. Junior made it to the finals after beating Medellin in the semifinals. Junior scored two or more goals in five of their last seven games. I doubt either team will keep a clean sheet and I would not be suprised to see 4+ goals scored in the game.

This is a near must win game for Anwil Wloclawek as Asseco Prokom has a 2-0 lead in this final series. Asseco won the first two games on their home court. Asseco had a ten point halftime lead in game one but held on for a seven point win. The two teams were tied at halftime in game two but Asseco took control in the fourth quarter and won 91-84. With Asseco winning game one 93-86 there has not been a game below 175 points yet. Asseco led the league in scoring in the regular season and Anwil was second in scoring so I expect another high scoring game today.

The Oaxaca Guerreros are one of the hottest teams in the Mexican league with four wins out of their last six games. They scored six or more runs in five of the six games. Oaxaca has lifted their team batting average to .314 which ranks third in the league. They also rank fourth in the league with 373 runs scored this season. The Yucatan Leones have also won four of their last six games. The Leones scored five or more runs in five of the six games. Seven of the ten games between these two teams this season ended with eleven or more runs scored and I expect another high scoring game tonight.

Portuguesa vs Bragantino over 3 goals - 102 @ The Greek

It is early on in the Serie B season. Through four games, Portuguesa has yet to be shutout or keep a clean sheet. They have two wins, one draw, and one loss so far. Portuguesa scored a total of six goals in their two home games. Bragantino opened Serie B play with a 0-0 draw against America MG but they have since not been shutout or kept a clean sheet in their last three games. Bragantino has one win and three draws so far. I doubt either team will keep a clean sheet tonight but I will go with low units since it is so early in the season.
