The Perfect 10 – 494/1 acca
St. Pauli vs Darmstadt (Germany Bundesliga 2)
Betting tip: Both teams to score
Both teams to score landed in eight of St. Paul’s last nine league matches, while goals were struck at both ends in four of Darmstadt’s last five competitive assignments. The teams shared four goals when they last met in October and a similar outcome looks possible in Saturday’s return fixture.
CSKA Sofia vs Cherno More Varna (Bulgaria First League)
Betting tip: CSKA Sofia to Win
With their title rivals Ludogorets and Lokomotiv Plovdiv facing off the same day, CSKA can strengthen their position with a victory at home to Cherno More Varna. CSKA have won seven league games in a row, and they should have too much momentum for their inconsistent visitors.
Atromitos Athinon vs Larissa (Greece Super League 1)
Betting tip: Atromitos Athinon to win
Atromitos Athinon have been losing games by the slimmest of margins recently, though they look ready to get back on track with a win over bottom club Larissa on Saturday. The division’s weakest team have won just one game all season and they were beaten in eight of ten matches on the road this term.
Nantes vs Marseille (French Ligue 1)
Betting tip: Both teams to score
Both teams have scored in five of the last six competitive meetings between Nantes and Marseille and with the hosts seeing goals at both ends in four of their last five outings in all competitions we can expect more of the same on Saturday. Marseille played their part in a five goal thriller in midweek and have only kept two clean sheets in their last nine matches.
FC Nitra vs Spartak Trnava (Slovakia Super Liga)
Betting tip: Spartak Trnava to win
Spartak came come roaring out of the winter break with two wins from two, and Trnava carry the league’s third best away record into their latest test at struggling Nitra. The relegation candidates lost 3-1 to an ordinary Pohronie outfit in their first assignment back after the mid-season break, and they look ill-equipped to match Trnava.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayern Munich (Bundesliga)
Betting tip: Bayern Munich to win
Eintracht Frankfurt are enjoying a superb campaign, though Die Adler were butchered 5-0 by Bayern Munich when the teams last met, and the Bavarians will be keen to get back to business after their missed a step against Arminia Bielefeld. The champions are rarely priced this generously to win a Bundesliga fixture, and they are an attractive proposition to beat Frankfurt for the fourth time in a row.
Huddersfield Town vs Swansea City (England Championship)
Betting tip: Swansea City to win
Swansea have moved to within a point of the automatic promotion spots thanks to their win over Nottingham Forest, and the Welshmen can continue their rise with a victory at Huddersfield. The Terriers lost to bottom club Wycombe in their last run out at home, and Town were beaten seven times in their last nine Championship tussles overall.
Tranmere Rovers vs Oldham Athletic (England League Two)
Betting tip: Tranmere Rovers to win
Tranmere will be on a high having secured their passage to the EFL Trophy final in midweek, and Rovers can strengthen their League Two promotion push with another win against Oldham on Saturday. Tranmere have won four of their last five at Prenton Park and they have been scoring enough goals on their own patch to enjoy more success there this weekend.
Paris FC vs Chateauroux (France Ligue 2)
Betting tip: Paris FC to win
Paris FC are unbeaten in six league games at home and on Saturday they welcome the division’s worst performing away team to the Stade Sébastien-Charléty. Chateauroux have won only once in 12 attempts on the road in Ligue 2 this term and they could leave the capital with nothing to show for their efforts again.
Venezia vs Virtus Entella (Italy Serie B)
Betting tip: Venezia to win
A surge of four wins from five games has launched Venezia firmly into the automatic playoff contention, and they can keep the good results coming against second from bottom Virtus Entella on Saturday. The Black Devils were beaten in each of their last four matches, and they could drop to the foot of the table with a heavy defeat at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo.
