Austria Vienna (Am) vs Hartberg over 3 goals + 112 @ The Greek

Vienna has won only one of their last five games. They were shutout in only one of the five games and they scored two or more goals in each of their last three games. On the defensive end they have kept only two clean sheets out of their last nine games. Vienna is sitting only four points above last place Dornbirn. Hartberg is sitting just three points above Vienna as they try and avoid the relegation zone. Hartberg suffered only one loss out of their last six games played. They scored two or more goals in five of the six games. The problem for Hartberg is on the defensive end with only one clean sheet out of their last ten games played. These two teams played just last week with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.

Cambuur vs Volendam over 3.5 goals - 104 @ The Greek

Cambuur is in a three-way tie with Excelsior and Go Ahead Eagles for second place in the league. They are also all even in goal differential. First place De Graafschap is ten points ahead of the pack so the three teams are playing for playoff positioning. Cambuur has won five of their last six games. They scored two or more goals in each of the wins and scored three goals in each of their last two home games. Cambuur has kept only two clean sheets out of their last nine games played. Volendam is five points behind Roosendaal for the last playoff spot. Volendam has won only one of their last ten games. They conceded three or more goals in each of their last five games. Cambuur is playing for second place while Volendam is trying to stay in the playoff race. I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

Real Union de Irun vs Cadiz over 2 goals - 149 @ The Greek

This is a relegation battle. Real Union is just six points above last place Castellon and is eight points from safety. Union has picked up only two wins out of their last ten games played. They were shutout in only one of their last seven games. The problem for Union has been on defense as they conceded a total of six goals in their last two games. Cadiz is three points above Union and is five points away from safety. Cadiz has also struggled with only two wins out of their last ten games played. They were shutout in only one of their last nine games but they did not keep a clean sheet in any of the games. This is a must win game for both teams as they try to avoid relegation. A draw helps no one. I expect both teams to score as they each go for the win.

Vissel Kobe vs Yokohama F Marinos over 2.5 goals + 107 @ The Greek

Yokohama has won their last two games after opening the J League season with a loss against FC Tokyo. Last weekend Yokohama suprised Kawasaki with a 4-0 beat down. The Marinos had a 2-0 lead just 15 minutes into the game and they kept on running. Yokohama has scored a total of seven goals in their last two games. Vissel Kobe has lost their last two games after starting the season with a 2-0 win against Kyoto. Kobe has yet to be shutout at home and they will face an attack minded Yokohama today. It is early in the season but this looks like a safe bet.

This is a 3 unit bet

Crotone vs Salernitana over 2.5 goals - 105 @ The Greek

Salernitana is all set for relegation as they sit in last place, twenty one points away from safety. They have won only two of their last nine games. Salernitana conceded two or more goals in five of their last nine games. They will go against a Crotone team that scored two or more goals in five of their last eight games. Crotone is trying to avoid the relegation zone as they sit just four points above. They have helped themselves by winning five of their last eight games. Crotone will also be looking for revenge as Salernitana beat them 4-1 earlier this season. Crotone is a strong fav as they play for another season in Serie B. Salernitana will look to play the role of spoiler. Crotone should try and improve their goal differential of 0.

This is a 5 unit bet

Barnet vs Burton Albion over 2.5 goals - 104 @ The Greek

Burton Albion still has a chance at a playoff spot as they sit just five points behind seventh place Northampton for the last spot. Burton has not helped themselves by winning only three of their last eight games. They have not struggled on the road as they scored two or more goals in each of their last four away games. The problem for Burton seems to be on defense where they conceded two or more goals in five of their last eight games. Barnet has little to play for as they are ten points above the relegation zone and well out of the playoff picture. They are coming off a 2-1 win against last place Darlington which put an end to a streak of four straight games without a win. Burton will be playing to stay in the playoff race while Barnet will look to be the spoiler.

Luton Town vs Hayes & Yeading over 3 goals - 102 @ The Greek

Luton Town has pretty much wrapped up a playoff spot but they are also just five points behind first place Stevenage for automatic promotion. Luton will enter Saturday's game on a five game win streak. They were shutout in only one of their last eight games and they scored two or more goals in four of their last five games. On the defensive end Luton has only two clean sheets out of their last eight games. Hayes & Yeading is nine points above the relegation zone and they are well out of the playoff race. Hayes suffered only one loss out of their last seven games. They were shutout in only one of their last ten games and they scored two or more goals in seven of the ten games. Hayes struggled on the defensive end conceding two or more goals in six of the ten games. Luton beat Hayes 3-2 earlier this month and I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

Millwall vs Stockport over 2.5 goals - 125 @ The Greek

Millwall is holding on to a playoff spot as they sit in third place but they are just three points behind second place Leeds for automatic promotion. If the two teams were to tie, Leeds would still be ahead as they are ahead in goal differential by seven goals. Millwall has suffered only one loss out of their last ten games. They scored two or more goals in five of their last six games. They will go against a Stockport team that is set for relegation as they sit in last place fourteen points from safety. They have won only two of their last ten games. Stockport manager Gary Ablett has told his team to push forward and go for the goals today. Millwall would like to improve on their goal differential today but I doubt they keep Stockport off the scoreboard.

Elgin City vs Forfar over 2.5 goals - 120 @ The Greek

Forfar is coming off a 3-0 win against Berwick which ended a streak of six straight games without a win. They are holding on to a playoff spot as they sit in third place just four points ahead of fourth place Queens Park and fifth place Berwick Rangers. Forfar has struggled on defense with only one clean sheet out of their last eight games. Elgin City has picked up only one win out of their last eight games. That has dropped them in to a tie with last place Montrose. Elgin is ahead of Montrose in goal differential by five goals. Elgin has also struggled on the defensive end with only one clean sheet out of their last ten games. Forfar is playing to put a lock on a playoff spot while Elgin would like to be the spoiler and get out of the last place tie.

AZ Alkmaar vs SC Heracles over 3 goals - 122 @ The Greek

AZ Alkmaar has gone eight straight games without a loss. They are sitting in fifth place which is an Europa League playoff spot but they are just four points behind fourth place Feyenoord for an automatic spot. AZ scored three or more goals in four of their last five games. They will be going against a Heracles team that sits just two points behind them. Heracles has won three of their last four games after winning only one of their previous six games. They were shutout in only one of their last seven games and they scored two or more goals in each of their last three wins. The last time these two teams played Heracles walked away with a 3-2 win. AZ is a strong fav today but I doubt they keep Heracles off the scoreboard.

Madureira RJ vs Americano Campos over 3 goals - 101 @ The Greek

Americano Campos has won their last two games after winning only one of their previous eight games. They were shutout in only one of the ten games but they did not keep a clean sheet in any of the ten games. In fact they conceded two or more goals in eight of the ten games. Another team struggling on defense is Madureira. They have only one clean sheet out of their last ten games and they conceded two or more goals in seven of their last eight. Madureira has won only one of their last eight games thanks to the leaky defense. This will not be a defensive battle and I expect both teams have a good chance of scoring two or more goals each.

Cesar Vallejo vs Inti Gas Deportes over 2.5 goals - 150 @ Bookmaker

Cesar Vallejo has won their last five games after starting the season with a 3-2 loss against Sporting Cristal. Vallejo scored three or more goals in three of their last four games so they just might cover this bet themselves. Today Vallejo will go against a Gas Deportes team that has yet to be shutout. Gas Deportes has picked up only two wins out of the six games they have played thanks to a defense that has yet to keep a clean sheet. The last three games between these two teams each ended with three or more goals scored and I expect that will be four straight after today.

Club Deportivo San Luis vs Colo Colo over 3 goals - 123 @ The Greek

Colo Colo has struggled in Copa Libertadores play but they are doing just fine in Apertura. They have lost only two of the seven Apertura games so far and they scored three or more goals in four of their last six. On the defensive end Colo Colo has only one clean sheet from the seven games. San Luis is struggling in Apertura with only one win out of the eight games they have played. San Luis has yet to keep a clean sheet and they conceded two or more goals in five of the eight games. Colo Colo is no doubt the fav in this game but I doubt they keep San Luis off the scoreboard.

Mogi Mirim vs Santo Andre over 3 goals + 107 @ The Greek

Santo Andre has won nine of their last ten games which has them sitting in second place just two points behind Santos. Santo Andre scored three or more goals in seven of their last ten games. They did not keep a clean sheet in any of their last five away games. Mogi Mirim has won three of their last six games. Mogi has played much better at home than on the road. They were shutout in only one of their last four home games compared to being shutout in five of their last six away games. The last time these two teams played Santo Andre walked away with a 4-0 win. I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

Real Esppor Club vs Trujillanos over 2.5 goals - 145 @ Bookmaker

Real Esppor is coming off a 3-2 loss against Zamora. Esppor had lost only one of their previous eight games. They have yet to be shutout through nine games. Esppor scored two goals in four of their last five home games. Defensively they have only one clean sheet out of their last eight games. Esppor is sitting in third place just a point behind first place Caracas. Trujillanos has not been as lucky as they sit just four points above last place Valencia. Trujillanos has won only two of the nine games they have played. They were shutout in only two of the nine games which shows how they struggle on the defensive end. Esppor is huge fav in this game but I doubt they keep Trujillanos off the scoreboard.

Bolton vs Aston Villa over 2.5 goals + 104 @ The Greek

Aston Villa will look to get back on track after suffering a 7-1 loss against Chelsea last weekend. Aston has won only one of their last five games. They are sitting in seventh place just three points behind sixth place Liverpool for the last Europa League spot from the Premiership. Saturday they will face a Bolton team that is just five points above the relegation zone. Bolton has won just three of their last ten games. Aston beat Bolton 5-1 earlier this season. Bolton will be playing to avoid the relegation zone while Aston Villa would like a European Cup spot for next season.

Burton Albion vs Darlington over 2.5 goals - 128 @ The Greek

Darlington knows they will be relegated to Conference as they sit in last place sixteen points from safety. Their 2-0 win against Shrewsbury last weekend put an end to a ten game streak without a win. That was also their first clean sheet out of their last eleven games. The 1-1 draw against Barnet last weekend I say has just about ended Burton Albion's playoff chances. Burton really hurt their chances with only three wins out of their last nine games. Burton was shutout in only one of their last ten games and they had only two clean sheets out of their last nine games. I expect an open game with some goals scored as both teams are just about playing for pride.

Bari vs AS Roma over 2.5 goals - 132 @ The Greek

AS Roma is sitting in second place just one point behind first place Inter Milan and only two points ahead of third place AC Milan. It looks like it will come down to these three teams to decide who will win the Serie A title as fourth place Palermo is nine points behind AC Milan. Roma has not suffered a loss in any of their last ten league games. They have scored two or more goals in five of their last six league games. Bari is sitting in tenth place just five points behind sixth place Juventus for the last European Cup spot from Serie A. Bari has gone five straight games without a loss which put an end to a four game losing streak. They were shutout in only one of their last five home games. Both teams have alot to play for as the Serie A season is coming down to last few rounds. A draw really helps no one here and that could put an end to Bari's European Cup hopes.

Stirling Albion vs Dumbarton over 3 goals + 106 @ The Greek

Stirling Albion has just about locked up a promotion playoff spot and they still have a chance at automatic promotion. Stirling is sitting in third place just nine points behind first place Alloa. Stirling still has some games to make up from postponments as they have played the fewest games in the league. Stirling has won three of their last four games which put an end to a streak of four straight games without a win. Dumbarton is seven points above the relegation zone and they are eight points out of the promotion playoff race. I guess you could say they are sitting in the middle of the pack. They have hurt their chances at a playoff spot by winning only three of their last ten games. Each of the three games between these two teams this season ended with four or more goals scored and I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

Audax Italiano vs Club Deportivo San Luis over 3 goals + 106 @ The Greek

Through eight Apertura games, Audax Italiano has yet to be shutout and they have yet to keep a clean sheet. The fact is all eight games ended with three or more goals scored. Today they will face a San Luis team that has yet to keep a clean sheet through nine games. San Luis was shutout in only two of the nine games. I would shit my pants if this game ended 0-0. I also know the Audax over streak has to end some day but I doubt it will be today.
