Featured Matches
1. Ajax vs Benfica
Ajax’s defense is becoming shaky recently as they gave away their lead in Lisbon on two consecutive occasions. Now, they have conceived goals in 4 of their last 5 matches. Moreover, they scored an extra-time goal to beat the likes of RKC Waalwijk and Cambuur in Eredivisie to keep their title hope alive. Benfica’s form is also questionable as their last match ended in a draw against a struggling Vizela. Benfica showed a never die attitude to equalize Ajax in their first leg when they were 2-0 down. Now, Benfica have remained unbeaten in their last 7 matches across all competitions. Ajax attackers are good at scoring goals but their defense is porous.
Best bet: Ajax to win @1.45. The value bet is Ajax to win and over 2.5 goals @1.75 or Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals. @1.70
2. Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid
Manchester United took the bull by the horn and beat Tottenham in a 3-2 thrilling match to end their 3-match winless streak. This reignited their hope for a top-four finish. However, they are still in a poor run of winning only 2 of their previous 5 matches at Old Trafford. Athletico Madrid are coming from back-to-back away wins at Spanish La Liga which will be a big motivation heading into this match. Again, they have won 4 of their last 5 matches and will want to cause an upset tonight. This game is tipped to end in a stalemate as both teams play a cautious kind of football even though I am considering Manchester united a slight favorite due to home advantage.
Best bet: Manchester win or draw and under 4.5 goals @1.38 Value bet: First half draw @2.06
3. Bournemouth vs Reading
Bournemouth scored late goals on Saturday to make it to the second position at the championship league table. Their latest decent form could earn them automatic promotion to the Premier League. Reading have lost 3 straight matches so far and have been putting up some awful performances recently. They conceded their first goal against Nottingham Forest within the first 30 seconds after the kick-off. They have conceded 9 goals in their previous 3 matches and have found themselves heading towards the relegation zone. Bournemouth are doing well for themselves and should have a comfortable win against Reading.
Beat bet: Bournemouth to win @1.39. Value bet: Bournemouth to win and over 1.5 goals @1.60
Match of the day
My match of the day is Ajax vs Benfica. It’s not going to be an easy one for Ajax but I think they should be able to get the job done.
