09-16-22 | Fulham v. Nottingham Forest OVER 2.5 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 57 m | Show |
EPL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Nottingham Forest vs Fulham @ 3 ET - Nottingham Forest brought in 22 summer transfers. When your roster has that kind of turnover and you are a newly promoted side, you are going to have some trouble in the Premier League! That said, it is no surprise that Nottingham Forest has conceded an average of 2.3 goals per match on the season. Fulham is also conceding at a relatively high rate with 1.5 goals allowed per match. However, the visitors also enter this one scoring at that same rate. Hence my expectation of a high-scoring match here. The hosts will fight hard to get on the board here and are averaging 1 goal scored per match at home. At the same time, they will struggle to stop a Fulham club that has played quite well early this season and that likes to attack as well. In fact, both teams play an attacking style which is conducive to an over. Look for at least 3 goals here as the last 4 matches for Nottingham Forest across all competitions actually have totaled an average of 4 goals. As for Fulham, 5 of their 6 matches in league competition have totaled at least 3 goals and have, in fact, averaged 3.6 goals apiece. More of the same expected here. 10* OVER 2.5 in Nottingham Forest |

09-16-22 | U Craiova 1948 v. Voluntari OVER 2 | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in FC Voluntari vs U Craiova 1948 @ 11 *AM* ET - Both clubs were involved in matches last week that certainly could have had a lot more scoring. I do expect FC Voluntari to build off a late penalty-kick game-tying goal that allowed them to draw with FCSB last week. Now they are at home and have some momentum after salvaging that draw. As for U Craiova 1948, they have scored at least 1 goal in all but 1 of their 10 matches thus far on the season. So the visitors get at least 1 and I also do not see FC Voluntari being denied on their home pitch. The hosts have had some recent goal-scoring difficulties but now at home off rallying for the draw versus FCSB, this looks like a great spot for their goal-scoring slump to be broken. I see this match getting to 1-1 and ending at least 2-1. Each club has played 10 matches and FC Voluntari has had only 3 draws and U Craiova 1948 only 2 draws. Look for one of the two clubs to earn the full 3 points in the table in this one as the odds favor that and I expect at least a 2-1 final as a result. 10* OVER 2 in FC Voluntari |

09-12-22 | Universitatea Cluj v. Mioveni OVER 2 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 +115 in Universitatea Cluj vs CS Mioveni @ 11 AM ET - These are two of the lowest scoring clubs thus far this season but things are on the cusp of changing and hence we get value here with the plus money available at over 2 goals on this one. CS Mioveni is off their first victory of the season and will bring momentum to this match as a result. As for Universitatea Cluj, they are still in search of their first victory of the season and will give a little extra on the attack in this one as a result. The 1-1 draw that Universitatea Cluj had last week easily should have had a lot more scoring and this is another reason we are getting even more line value here. There were missed opportunities both ways that should have resulted in a match totaling more like 4 goals rather than just 2. We take advantage here because CS Mioveni also scored the prior week as well in a 1-1 draw and their confidence is on the rise while I know the hosts are going to be on the attack here as they see this as a great shot to get that first victory of the season. Look for at least a 2-1 final in this one. 10* OVER 2 +115 in Universitatea Cluj |

09-11-22 | CS U Craiova v. CFR Cluj OVER 2 | Top | 0-2 | Push | 0 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in CFR Cluj vs Universitatea Craiova @ 2:30 ET - Universitatea Craiova is off a 4-3 victory over Farul. That was a huge win for them and a big confidence boost. Yes their other recent matches had been lower-scoring but that had a lot to do with facing Hermannstadt and FC Botosani - each of whom had been trending under at the time. That said, I really like the value here with over 2 goals in this one. CFR Cluj is off a 1-1 draw Thursday in UEFA Europa Conference League action and comes into this one hungry to build off a 4-0 win in their most recent Romania Liga 1 action. The last two matches in league action involving CFR Cluj have each totaled at least 4 goals and their matches this season are averaging 3.1 goals apiece. Solid line value here with this total at 2 goals as CFR Cluj has been shutout only once this season but has scored an average of 2 goals in its other 6 matches. Similarly, Universitatea Craiova has been shutout twice this season but is averaging scoring 2 goals in its other 6 matches. Having just played Thursday I might be worried about CFR Cluj here but the fact they are at home and coming off B2B high-scoring matches likely is going to lead to more of the same here and, as hosts, they will dig deep for all the energy they need in what should be another wide-open affair. 10* OVER 2 in CFR Cluj |
|||||||
09-10-22 | Petrolul 52 v. Hermannstadt OVER 2 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 104 | 5 h 54 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in Hermannstadt vs Petrolul Ploiesti @ 8 AM ET - Look for plenty of goals here. Hermannstadt is the only team in the league without a loss thus far. Of course Petrolul Ploiesti is well aware of this and wants to be the first to put a blemish on that record. Petrolul Ploiesti is off B2B wins and won the matches by a combined score of 5 to 3. So I am looking for goals here because the hosts are scoring an average of 1.4 goals per match this season and, as noted above, still without a loss. I just don't see a red hot Petrolul Ploiesti club being held off the score sheet here. But at the same time, you know the hosts will battle back on their home pitch. I am looking for a 2-1 final here and at least a 1-1 match so feel we have good value going over the low total here given the situation. 10* OVER 2 in Hermannstadt |
|||||||
09-09-22 | UTA Arad v. Botosani OVER 2 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 8 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in FC Botosani vs UTA @ 11:45 AM ET - UTA off a disappointing 1-1 draw at home versus Chindia Targoviste. The visitors will come out being aggressive on the attack here as a result. FC Botosani also off a disappointing 2-1 loss at Petrolul Ploiesti as they did not score until the extra time in that one and so spent much of the match "chasing" to get back in it. The hosts will be more aggressive on their home pitch here as a result and look to jump out and get the early lead rather than vice versa. FC Botosani had begun the season with decent goal-scoring and then hit a rough patch. Don't be surprised if that late goal at Petrolul Ploiesti gets them going in terms of some confidence again in finding the back of the net. As for UTA, 7 of their 9 matches have totaled at least 2 goals and I feel very comfortable with the over 2 here as a result but fully expecting 3 or more given the circumstances. 10* OVER 2 in FC Botosani |
|||||||
09-05-22 | Farul Constanta v. CS U Craiova OVER 2.25 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 34 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +120 in Universitatea Craiova vs Farul @ 2:30 ET - Farul has won 3 straight matches and by a combined score of 8 to 3. The club from Constanta is feeling it right now to say the least. However, this is still a road trip for them and they have conceded a goal in each of last 3 matches. Also, with more and more confidence for Farul, they are apt to taking more risk and getting caught with some leaky defense in their own end. Look for Universitatea Craiova, on their home pitch, to take advantage here. Universitatea Craiova has found the back of the net in 3 of their 4 matches as a host this season. So I do expect Universitatea Craiova will find the back of the net at least once here but note Farul still does not have a loss this season. That puts this match at least 1-1 and then we see at least 1 more goal. Farul just too hot right now and the defense of the hosts can surely be exploited. They have not allowed a lot of goals this season but against quality clubs (and Farul one of highest scoring in league), the hosts have proven more susceptible of course. 10* OVER 2.5 +120 in Universitatea Craiova |
|||||||
09-05-22 | Hermannstadt v. Arges +128 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 9 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Monday 10* Top Play FC Arges Money Line +128 vs Hermannstadt @ 11:45 AM ET - The 3-way line is showing you the most likely outcome here is a home club win despite the fact Hermannstadt has not lost a match out of 7 this season. Indeed the visitors have won 3 and had 4 draws in their 7 matches thus far. As I have said before, the odds makers often the sharpest people in the room! The point is that this match is priced this way for a reason and I do expect Hermannstadt to fall short after hanging on for a tight 1-0 victory last week. FC Arges is angry off a scoreless draw on the road and they will respond well on their home pitch here where they already have 3 victories this season by a combined score of 7 to 2. The hosts get it done here again. 10* FC Arges +128 |
|||||||
09-04-22 | Arsenal v. Manchester United OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show |
EPL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Manchester United vs Arsenal @ 11:30 AM ET - We will see goals here. Arsenal scoring an average of 2.6 goals per match thus far in their 5 matches this season. Each of the last 4 Arsenal matches have totaled at least 3 goals and have averaged 3.8 goals per match. The two meetings between these clubs last season totaled 4 and 5 goals, respectively. Manchester United playing much better after their dreadful start to the season and certainly, on their home pitch here, they are going to be a tough club. However, Arsenal will not allow this match to be a grinder. They are playing too well and too confident to just sit back on their heels here. So Arsenal forces the issue a bit and I look for Manchester United also to have a breakout game offensively and their most recent home match was a 2-1 win over Liverpool. Neither team has had a draw yet this season and Manchester United has scored at least once in 4 of 5 matches. Arsenal has scored at least twice in all 5 matches. In other words, look for at least a 2-1 final here as odds favor each team scoring and odds favor no draw here! There also has been only one draw in the last five meetings between these clubs. 10* OVER 2.5 in Manchester United |
|||||||
09-04-22 | Leicester v. Brighton & Hove Albion OVER 2.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 106 | 6 h 47 m | Show |
EPL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Brighton & Hove vs Leicester @ 9 AM ET - The Albion are known for being tough to score on at home but Leicester has made some adjustments on the frontlines and is emphasizing offense in this one. The Foxes will be on the attack. The last 4 meetings between these clubs have averaged 3 goals apiece with 3 of the 4 reaching at least the 3 goal mark. I fully expect this one will as well! Brighton has scored an average of 1.8 goals per match last 4 across all competitions. Leicester, prior to being held without a goal last week, had scored at least once in each of 3 prior matches in league competition and those 3 matches all totaled at least 3 goals and averaged 4 goals. We'll see some goals here. 10* OVER 2.5 in Brighton |
|||||||
09-04-22 | Botosani v. Petrolul 52 OVER 2 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 51 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in Petrolul Ploiesti vs FC Botosani @ 2:30 PM ET - Petrolul Ploiesti going to build off last week's 3-2 thrilling victory. However, FC Botosani comes in fired up after not scoring a goal in B2B weeks. This followed an unplanned bye week and prior to that FC Botosani had scored in all 5 of their first 5 matches and were scoring an average of 1.4 goals per match. In other words, this club can and will score well and will get back on track here as they face a Petrolul Ploiesti club that played a wild one last week on the road and yet still got the win. That is the kind of a set-up that can set up a club for a bit of loosely played defense when they return back home overconfident. Certainly overconfidence can be a problem when you are 4-0-2 last 6 matches like Petrolul Ploiesti. As a result plenty of goals here. 10* OVER 2 in Petrolul Ploiesti |
|||||||
09-03-22 | Manchester City v. Aston Villa OVER 3 | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
EPL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in Aston Villa vs Manchester City @ 12:30 ET - Manchester City has been a scoring machine for a long time now with an incredible 14-match streak of scoring at least 2 goals. However, the scoring has become even more prolific of late because Erling Braut Haaland has been incredible with his goal-scoring prowess in his first season in the EPL. This City team is on a roll and Aston Villa was lucky they did not allow more scoring in the first half of their most recent match. They will not be so fortunate here as Manchester City has been ruthless on the attack. However, I will say this...I do expect Villa to score at least once at home and to put up a fight here on the counter attack. They did score an average of 1.5 goals per match when on their home pitch last season and City is so confident right now they could end up exposed at times on the counter attack. I say that because Manchester City is so confident in pushing the ball up the field because they have been scoring with such proficiency. Don't be surprised if Villa gets at least a goal here but City wins this by a multi-goal margin possibly. So looking at a 3-1 or 3-2 or 4-1 type of match. Lot of value here with this rather low total. 10* OVER 3 in Aston Villa |
|||||||
09-03-22 | Chindia Targoviste v. UTA Arad OVER 1.75 | Top | 1-1 | Win | 50 | 12 h 56 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 1.75 or 2 in UTA Arad vs Chindia Targoviste @ Noon ET - Chindia Targoviste is at the bottom of the table but it is not for a lack of scoring goals. They do average 1 goal per match. The problem for Chindia Targoviste is they are allowing 2 goals per match this season. UTA Arad is angry here as they are off a draw against one of the other bad teams (CS Mioveni) in the league and they know they should have got maximum points in the table instead of settling for a 1-1 draw. That said, the play here is the over as UTA Arad will not hold back and will be aggressive on the attack. Also, I like the fact that Chindia Targoviste, though still searching for first victory of season, is known for finding ways to manufacture goals. UTA Arad's matches have averaged 2 goals per match and I am expecting at least 3 here because there is nothing "average" about this match-up in terms of the fact Chindia Targoviste has a tendency toward getting involved in very high-scoring matches. Each of their last 3 totaled at least 3 goals and 2 of them reached the 5 goal mark! 10* OVER 1.75 or 2 in UTA Arad |
|||||||
09-03-22 | Crystal Palace v. Newcastle United OVER 2.5 | Top | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
EPL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace @ 10 AM ET - Newcastle angry off the last minute loss to Liverpool last week. They will respond at home where they are known for scoring better and playing stronger. Newcastle however sometimes gets a bit leaky with the defense in front of their own goal. Also, note that Crystal Palace has both conceded and scored in each of last five matches in league action. I am sure that will be the case again here and I also do not expect it to end 1-1 either so good value with the over 2.5 here given the situation. Newcastle going to be very hungry for the full 3 points but Crystal Palace also is angry about a late equalizer that cost them the full 3 points last week. As a result, think both teams will be very aggressive on the attack here and Newcastle has seen only 1/3 of last 21 home matches ended in a draw. Look for a 2-1 match here and if it does end in a draw look for it to be 2-2 rather than 1-1 as the situation here tells me goals will be flowing. 10* OVER 2.5 in Newcastle United |
|||||||
09-03-22 | Fulham v. Tottenham Hotspur OVER 3 | Top | 1-2 | Push | 0 | 8 h 48 m | Show |
EPL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 or 3 in Tottenham vs Fulham @ 10 AM ET - Tottenham is angry off a 1-1 draw in a match they should have been awarded a penalty kick and that, of course, would have given high odds on an eventual 2-1 win. That said they will be pushing hard here but Fulham has scored an average of 2 goals in its last 3 matches in league action. Tottenham has scored an average of 2 goals per match last 5 meetings between these clubs. Fulham has allowed 7 goals in last 4 matches across all competitions. Tottenham scoring an average of 2 goals per match this season. Just see this one getting to at least 2-1 and do not foresee the Hotspur taking their foot off the gas in this one as they had started the season so hot. The hosts want to resume that early season momentum in a big way here. 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in Tottenham |
|||||||
09-02-22 | U Craiova 1948 v. Universitatea Cluj OVER 2 | Top | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 14 h 43 m | Show |
Good value with the over here. U Craiova 1948 off a win by just a 1-0 margin but their first 7 matches this season averaged 2.6 goals totaled per match. As for Universitatea Cluj they are allowing 1.3 goals per match in what has been a disappointing campaign so far. I expect Universitatea Cluj to again struggle here and give up scoring to U Craiova 1948 but also to get on the scoresheet as well on their home pitch. They are fully focused on scoring here because after starting the season with goals in 4 of first 5 they have now been handed a clean sheet by their opponent 3 straight times. Unacceptable and they know it and they are at home here and they focus on the attack. The result should be goals aplenty in this one. 10* OVER 2 in Universitatea Cluj |
|||||||
09-02-22 | Mioveni v. Sepsi -1 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -111 | 11 h 28 m | Show |
Sepsi is a heavy favorite here with good reason. Of course we are not going to lay -200 odds on the money line but I do like Sepsi -1 goal here on the goal line in what should be a dominating win. Mioveni winless on the season and has a -9 goal differential which is worst in the league. Sepsi has suffered B2B losses but one was on the road and one was at home against a Rapid team that is tied with Farul for 1st place in the table. Sepsi has a +3 goal differential on the season and their two victories by a combined 5-0 margin. Look for big victory here for the hosts. Sepsi Goal Line -1 -111 |

09-01-22 | Manchester United v. Leicester OVER 2.75 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -114 | 11 h 25 m | Show |
EPL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 or 2.75 or 3 in Leicester vs Manchester United @ 3 ET - Manchester United is back on track with B2B wins and I expect another strong effort from them here to result in more scoring. However, Leicester is not going to be shutdown on their home pitch. They will get on the scoresheet too and I am looking for nothing less than 2-1 final here and that means value with this current total. Leicester has seen their matches average 4 goals this season and they are hungry for first victory of the season. Leicester has only 1 draw and Manchester United has no draws this season. That means only 1 draw in 8 matches or 12.5% this season involving these clubs. Man U is off 1-0 win at Southampton but the Saints had plenty of chances in that match and it was one that could have played out much differently with both clubs having so many opportunities. Prior to that all 3 of Manchester United's matches totaled at least 3 goals. As for the hosts in today's match-up, all 4 of their matches this season have totaled at least 3 goals. More of the same on tap here. 10* OVER the total in Leicester |
|||||||
09-01-22 | CS U Craiova v. Hermannstadt OVER 2 | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -112 | 12 h 7 m | Show |
Not only did all 3 Romania Liga 1 matches go over the total yesterday, they all totaled at least 4 goals. The weather is already cooling down across the country today and the players will not be tiring out so quickly on the attack. Universitatea Craiova is off a 1-0 win versus Botosani but could have easily scored a lot more. They looked great on the attack and I am certain that will continue here at Hermannstadt. As for the hosts, they continue to be a scrappy club despite battling financial difficulties. Some home cooking will do them some good here and I look for an entertaining affair as a result. Hermannstadt is off a 2-2 draw last week against FCSB and that was on the road. As a host this season they are scoring an average of 2 goals per match. Universitatea Craiova has played only 2 road matches so far this season and they have each totaled at least 2 goals. 10* OVER 2 goals in Hermannstadt |
|||||||
09-01-22 | Arges v. Botosani OVER 2 | Top | 0-0 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
Not only did all 3 Romania Liga 1 matches go over the total yesterday, they all totaled at least 4 goals. The weather is already cooling down across the country today and the players will not be tiring out so quickly on the attack. The Botosani defense had a lot of breakdowns last week and face a solid Arges club here. The visitors have played 7 matches this season and NONE have resulted in a draw. I do expect Botosani to score at least a goal at home here but to again be shaky in front of their own net. That said Arges gets on the board too and has not a draw yet this season. In other words, this match should end up at least 2-1. Botosani failed to score last week but that was first time this season. Arges failed to score twice this season but scored an average of 1.8 goals in their other 5 matches. 10* OVER 2 in Botosani |

08-31-22 | Newcastle United v. Liverpool -1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -125 | 10 h 35 m | Show |
EPL Wednesday 10* Top Play Liverpool Goal Line -1.5 -125 vs Newcastle United @ 3 ET - Liverpool is not going to win 9-0 again but certainly that dominating victory over Bournemouth (which led to coach Scott Parker being relieved of his duties!) has given the Reds a huge boost of confidence after a slow start to the season. I know that Newcastle managed a draw versus Manchester City earlier this month but that was at home and City did outplay them on possession time and scoring chances. Newcastle is known for being tough to face on their home pitch but often struggling as a traveler and I fully expect that pattern to continue here and will lay the goal line with the hosts in this one. Liverpool has outscored opponents 59-10 in last 21 home matches in league competition. That means an average score of approx 3 to 0.5 goal. A 2.5 goal margin and they are favored at 1.5 goals here. Newcastle has been outscored 36 to 19 in last 21 road matches. Keep in mind that is against all competition not just elite competition and they are averaging about a -1 goal differential in road matches since the start of last season. I have no hesitation in expecting the Reds to win this on their home pitch by a multi-goal margin. 10* LIVERPOOL -1.5 |
|||||||
08-31-22 | Tottenham Hotspur v. West Ham United OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 21 m | Show |
EPL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur @ 2:45 ET - West Ham finally got a goal and finally got a win in their victory over the weekend. They will now build off that here at home and I expect the added confidence to lead to more of an attack mode here for the hosts. However, they are hosting a dangerous Tottenham squad that can score plenty! Off a 2-0 victory that easily could have been a 3-0 final were it not for a rare failed penalty kick, the visitors are going to have West Ham on their heels at times. Tottenham notched a 3-1 victory when these clubs met in March and Tottenham is averaging 2 goals per match so far this season. I am looking for at least a 2-1 final here as I expect each club to get on the scoresheet in this one and in 8 matches total for these clubs there has been only 1 draw. In my mind, slim odds of a draw here and strong odds we see each club score a goal and that means a 2-1 final - at the least - is likely here the way I see it! 10* OVER 2.5 in West Ham United |

08-31-22 | Voluntari v. CFR Cluj OVER 2 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in CFR Cluj vs FC Voluntari @ 12:15 ET - Voluntari off a scoreless draw but their prior two prior road matches each have been 2-1 losses. We should see 3 goals here! CFR Cluj was best club in the league last season but enters this match off a 3-1 home loss! Now they are home again and angry and favored by 1 goal here for a reason! In other words, look for an aggressive attacking style in this match and the result will be plenty of goals as FC Voluntari becomes forced to try to keep up in this one! 10* OVER 2 in CFR Cluj |

08-30-22 | Universitatea Cluj v. Rapid Bucuresti +100 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 15 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Tuesday 10* Top Play Rapid Bucuresti Money Line +100 vs Universitatea Cluj @ 3 ET - Universitatea Cluj has a one day rest edge here but Rapid Bucuresti is on their home pitch. Also, Rapid Bucuresti has 5 wins already this season which is tops in the league. Universitatea Cluj is one of 3 clubs that remain winless on the season and they are near the very bottom of the table while Rapid Bucuresti is near the top. Universitatea Cluj does have 3 draws this season including 2 as visitors and a draw hands us a losing ticket. That is why this line is priced this way so it certainly is no "gift" on Rapid Bucuresti here but at home and able to lay no juice to back the hosts to get a win I feel is very strong value. 10* RAPID BUCURESTI +100 |

08-30-22 | Chelsea v. Southampton OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
EPL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Southampton vs Chelsea @ 2:45 ET - I know Southampton is off a 1-0 defeat but there were a ton of scoring opportunities wasted in that match with Manchester United. As for Chelsea, they have been involved in higher scoring matches than usual early this season. We are seeing a little more push from Chelsea on the offensive attack these days from head coach Tuchel and you know he is "chomping at the bit" to have his team on the attack for this one after he had to watch the last match as a spectator due to a suspension. With Southampton on their home pitch I feel certain they will score here as Chelsea has already conceded 6 times in 4 matches this season as well. However, there is a reason the visitors are a rather pricey money line favorite here plus favored by 1 goal on the goal line. In other words, look for at least a 2-1 type match here in this one. Southampton had scored 1.7 goals per match in first three matches this season before being delivered a clean sheet at the hands of an angry Man U team last week. The Saints will bounce back on their home pitch but will also prove unable to slow down a determined Chelsea club and I see at least 3 goals here as a likely result in this one. 10* OVER 2.5 in Southampton |

08-30-22 | Brighton & Hove Albion v. Fulham OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 107 | 13 h 36 m | Show |
EPL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals +107 in Fulham vs Brighton & Hove @ 2:30 ET - I have said it before and I will say it again here. The odds makers tend to be the sharpest people in the room. The reason I am mentioning that here is because this total looks a little suspicious and I am putting that odds makers edge to our advantage! Look at the two earliest matches today and the other won is Crystal Palace versus Brentford. Note that the average goals totaled in matches for Palace is 3.50 this season and it is 3.75 for the Bees. Yet their total and pricing looks nearly identical to this match which features a Brighton club whose average match has totaled 1.5 goals thus far. In fact, Brighton has conceded only 1 goal in 4 matches this season! Looks suspicious, eh? We are not falling for it. Over is the play here and the reason is because I could see a Brighton club, on a short week, finally lose some defensive focus and concentration and Fulham will take advantage on their home pitch. Fulham actually has played quite well and been very competitive early this season but they have been plagued by defensive inconsistencies and getting worn down in the 2nd half of matches. Look for that to be an issue again here as well especially on short rest! The result should be more goals than most are expecting here and I am looking for at least a 2-1 final. 10* OVER 2.5 goals +107 in Fulham |

08-30-22 | Sepsi v. U Craiova 1948 OVER 2.25 | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -104 | 13 h 47 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in U Craiova 1948 vs Sepsi @ 12:15 ET - Both clubs off 2-1 losses over the weekend and playing on short rest. Expect some tired legs among the defense and this will lead to some breakaways and excellent scoring chances. U Craiova 1948 matches this season have averaged 2.6 goals per match and they will control the tempo play here at home. Sepsi had a couple of 0-0 draws this season but their other 5 matches averaged 2.8 goals per match and I am expecting a wide-open style of play in this one. 10* OVER 2 in U Craiova 1948 |

08-30-22 | UTA Arad +156 v. Mioveni | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Tuesday 10* Top Play UTA Arad +156 @ CS Mioveni @ 9:30 AM ET - CS Mioveni has been the worst club in the league thus far. They are off a draw last week but it was a scoreless one and they have managed only 3 goals total in their 7 matches thus far. UTA Arad as has twice as many goals on the season and CS Mioveni also leads the league in the unwanted category of 5 losses so far. Adding to the value here is that this is a unique scheduling situation this week in the league with some early matches in the week and UTA Arad has an added day of rest compared to CS Mioveni. The visitors last played Friday while the hosts just played on Saturday and that was also a road match for CS Mioveni on Saturday so this is a particularly tough short rest situation. We get value here because our "play on" team is on the road. I will take it! 10* UTA Arad +156 |

08-29-22 | Botosani v. CS U Craiova OVER 2.25 | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -112 | 11 h 28 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +110 in Universitatea Craiova vs FC Bostosani @ 2 ET - Scoring picked up in this week's action and part of the reason for the extra scoring was fresh legs from being off last week. Some clubs had matches that were canceled last week. 6 of them to be exact. These are the final 2 of those 6. Of the first 4, they ended up in 3 different matches this week that all totaled 3 or more goals. In fact, 2 of those 3 matches totaled 4 goals. Look for another high-scoring one here. Love the fact that each of these clubs off 1-0 matches in their most recent action as there were plenty of excellent scoring opportunities in each of those matches that simply did not get cashed. Look for at least a 2-1 final here as we continue to see a scoring surge in the final match of Week 7 action as those Week 6 cancellations truly had an impact. 10* OVER 2.5 +110 in Universitatea Craiova |

08-28-22 | Hermannstadt v. Steaua Bucharesti OVER 2.25 | Top | 2-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.25 or 2.5 in FCSB vs Hermannstadt @ 2:30 ET - Both clubs had their games postponed last week so we have some fresh legs on the pitch for this match. FC Steaua Bucharesti and Hermannstadt both have been involved in some higher scoring matches early this season. What I like about the set up here is that FCSB is off a big 3-2 win in their most recent match which was also on their home pitch. They are flowing with confidence right now and ready to go on the attack while Hermannstadt, despite financial difficulties plaguing the club, continue to be a very scrappy underdog no one wants to face. The visitors will again challenge in this match but, of course, FCSB is a big favorite for a reason. Hermannstadt scoring an average of 1.4 goals per match this season but FCSB matches have averaged 2.6 goals apiece and I am looking for a 2-1 type match. There is a reason the odds makers have this one at slightly more than a 2.0 on the total. 10* OVER 2.25 or 2.5 in FCSB |

08-28-22 | Farul Constanta v. CFR Cluj -112 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -112 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Sunday 10* Top Play CFR Cluj Money Line -112 vs Farul Constanta @ 11:30 AM ET - Great set up here. CFR Cluj was a top team in the league last season but it has been a bit of a choppy start for them this season. Then their match last week got postponed and this was off a 1-0 loss the week before. Undoubtedly the hosts will be ready here on their home pitch and they catch Farul off a hard-fought win in Constanta. Down 1-0 at the half, Farul battled back for the 2-1 win. From a situational standpoint, matches don't get much better than this! CFR Cluj had won 3 of first 4 matches including both at home before the loss two weeks ago. Payback time here. Farul had 3 straight draws before last week's win. They have yet to lose this season but CFR Cluj well aware of that and Farul has just 1 victory last 4 matches. In other words, Farul has not been dominating but they do remain undefeated on the season and the hosts well aware of that. The home club is favored with good reason here. A victory marches them right back up the table and ties them with Farul for points. Lay it! 10* CFR Cluj -112 |

08-28-22 | Tottenham Hotspur -1 v. Nottingham Forest | Top | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
EPL Sunday 10* Top Play Tottenham Hotspur Goal Line -1 -115 vs Nottingham Forest @ 11:30 AM ET - Nottingham Forest has performed better than expected so far this season in a return to the EPL after a long time away after being relegated many years ago. Now they take a major step up in class as, other than Arsenal, no one has looked as strong as Tottenham early this season. The Hotspur should get it done again here and I love the value here since they are on the road. If they were at home they would be too pricey to back here but, because they are traveling, Tottenham is available at a -115 price on the goal line with having to lay just 1 goal. Yes a push is not the ultimate desire but it is some added insurance in a match I am expecting this rock solid Tottenham club to win by a multi-goal margin. The visitors are so strong on both ends of the pitch and I just do not see them being denied here. 10* TOTTENHAM -1 -115 |

08-28-22 | West Ham United v. Aston Villa OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -111 | 7 h 5 m | Show |
EPL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Aston Villa vs West Ham United @ 9 AM ET - West Ham seeking first points of the season in the able as they have lost all 3 matches and have yet to score a goal. However, West Ham has scored 3 goals in each of last two matches in the UEFA Europa Conference League Qualifying action including a 3-0 win Thursday. So West Ham brings a little confidence into this match and will score some goals here. Aston Villa has allowed an average of 2 goals per match in league action thus far. The hosts should manage some scoring as well on their home pitch for this one where they have a 2-1 victory already this season. I look for a similar result here with at least 3 goals scored as Villa can also take advantage of a West Ham club that has allowed 1.7 goals per match thus far in league action. 10* OVER 2.5 in Aston Villa |
|||||||
08-28-22 | Chindia Targoviste v. Arges OVER 1.75 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 1.75 or 2 in FC Arges vs Chindia Targoviste @ 6:30 AM ET - Each club is averaging about one goal scored per match and plus FC Arges allowing 1.5 goals per match and Chindia Targoviste allowing 1.8 goals per match. This one sets up well for goals as Chindia Targoviste has played 3 road matches thus far and two of them finished with 5 goals apiece! FC Arges off a 1-0 win last week but that was the first time this season that they had a match finish with less than 2 goals scored. Love the value here with this low total. 10* OVER 1.75 or 2 in FC Arges |
|||||||
08-27-22 | Rapid Bucuresti v. Sepsi OVER 2 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 5 m | Show |
Two of the better clubs in the Romania Liga 1 square off in this one with Sepsi hosting Rapid. Both clubs are off 1-0 victories last week. I don't see either being denied the scoresheet in this one either and that puts this one at a 1-1 match at the very least. So how likely is a draw? Well, while Sepsi has proven prone to draws early this season, Rapid actually has had no draws in any of their 6 matches. If this trend continues, plus each team hits at least their scoring average of 1 goal per match then this game ends up at least a 2-1 final. The odds favor that is my point. Now, Sepsi certainly has done a good job in league action of keeping the opposition off the board but they allowed 3 goals in each of their two matches in UEFA Europa Conference League Qualifying action this month. That said, Rapid is a strong enough club to take advantage of defensive shortcomings and they have only been delivered a clean sheet once in last 5 matches and scored an average of 1.5 goals per match in the other 4 matches. The last 3 matches have averaged 2.3 goals per match and I am expecting an entertaining affair as both clubs (ranked rather high in the table) are going hard for the full 3 points in the table when the dust settles on this one. Look for a 2-1 type of match here. 10* OVER 2 in Sepsi |

08-27-22 | Fulham +1.5 v. Arsenal | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
10* Fulham Goal Line +1.5 -105 - Tremendous value on the goal line here. Fulham is playing well so far this season with a victory and two draws. One of the two draws was against Liverpool so it was a quality earn of points for Fulham. Arsenal has been red hot to start this season and also was red hot in the summer friendly action leading into this campaign. All of this I do not deny. However, they are over-valued here. Fulham is built well to be the type of club to give them some issues. These clubs played to a 1-1 draw when they last met in April. I would not be surprised to see another draw here and, at worst, perhaps a 1-goal loss. Consider who Arsenal has faced too because Bournemouth is newly promoted and Leicester is still winless on the campaign. The point is that Arsenal, as well as they have been playing, might be a little over-rated right now and I see Fulham giving them all they can handle. In addition to a 3-2 win, the visitors have also played to a scoreless draw and a 2-2 draw. The point is that Fulham has proven they can be competitive in all types of matches. Fulham is newly promoted this season but they are playing very well already and the season (2020-21) before last season Fulham was known for being tough to beat on the road. They only lost 7 of 19 matches away from home. Keep in mind, even a loss here can still be a win for us if it is by just a 1-goal margin. That, to me, is the most likely out come here as I really like the way the visitors have been playing and they are in this one all the way. 10* FULHAM +1.5 -105 |

08-27-22 | Mioveni v. Petrolul 52 +113 | Top | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
Petrolul Ploiesti has won 3 straight matches. Each one was by only a 1-0 final but the fact they are not conceding goals is bad news for a CS Mioveni club that has been the worst in Liga 1 this season. CS Mioveni is giving up average of 2 goals per match while having scored a goal in only 2 of their 6 matches this season. This is a classic case of hot versus not and CS Mioveni has more losses than any other club this season while only one club, Rapid, has more victories than the 3 that Petrolul Ploiesti has. Keep in mind those have all come now too with 3 straight victories entering this one for this host. They get it done here too. 10* Petrolul Ploiesti Money Line +113 |
|||||||
08-27-22 | Crystal Palace v. Manchester City OVER 3 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show |
10* OVER 3 in Manchester City - The hosts are the highest scoring club in the league long-term and have scored multiple goals in every EPL match their last dozen! That is consistent high-scoring. The problem is they are having some issues in terms of keeping the ball out of their back of their own net recently. That said, the over is the play here because Crystal Palace has some attackers that can take advantage of City's short-comings defensively and the hosts are still a little banged up too. Also, Palace has been known in recent seasons for giving Man City some problems so they will enter this match with extra confidence. Manchester City is off a 3-3 draw last week in EPL and another 3-3 draw in a mid-week friendly too. That said, they will not take their foot off the gas with the lead here and the result should be plenty of goals. Manchester City has scored at least 3 goals in 3 straight matches across all competitions. Crystal Palace has scored at least 2 goals in 5 of last 6 matches across all competitions. 10* OVER 3 in Manchester City |
|||||||
08-27-22 | Manchester United v. Southampton OVER 3 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 35 m | Show |
Southampton one of those clubs that can score well particularly on their home pitch and I just do not foresee a clean sheet being delivered in this match. That said, is perfect spot for an upset with Manchester United off their huge upset win over Liverpool after a disappointing 0-2 start to the season. I actually believe rather than falling flat however, Man U could use that winning match over the Reds as a springboard of sorts. Still, Southampton known for being dangerous team to play as they do concede a lot but can be dangerous on the attack as well. That is why, especially given the situation here in this one, feel the story is going to be goals! 10* OVER 3 in Southampton |

08-26-22 | Universitatea Cluj v. Voluntari OVER 2 | Top | 0-0 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in FC Voluntari vs Universitatea Cluj @ 11:45 AM ET - Voluntari off an over as their game finished 2-1 and they looked sloppy at times in their own end against Farul. As for Universitatea Cluj, they are ready to go here after a 1-0 home loss to Sepsi that had many chances and certainly should have seen more goals. Both clubs on short rest after just playing on Monday and I feel strongly that this will equate to some mistakes in coverage in the defensive zone in this one and we'll see plenty of goals as a result. 10* OVER 2 in FC Voluntari |
|||||||
08-22-22 | Liverpool v. Manchester United OVER 3 | Top | 1-2 | Push | 0 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
EPL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5, 2.75 or 3 in Manchester United vs Liverpool @ 3 ET - I feel strongly that Manchester United is going to "come to play" here on their home pitch in this one after a very disappointing start to the season. Keep in mind, the loss to Brighton does not look as bad after seeing Brighton jump out to a 2-0-1 start to the season with Man U being the only club to score on them in 3 matches! Also, Brentford has already scored 8 goals this season though, yes, that was one shocking loss that Manchester United suffered already. Still, Brentford has scored 8 goals already and only Manchester City and Arsenal, with 9 apiece, have scored more. The point is that Man U needs to respond but it may not quite be time to push the panic button here. The trouble here is they face a very strong Liverpool club that is also off to a disappointing start off B2B draws to open the campaign. So the Reds will surely be pushing hard in this one. Each of the last 5 meetings between these clubs have totaled at least 4 goals and actually have averaged 5 goals. Love the value with the total in this one! A lot of talented striking ability on the pitch for each of these clubs. 10* OVER the total in Manchester United |

08-22-22 | Voluntari v. Farul Constanta OVER 2 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -110 in Farul vs FC Voluntari @ 12:30 ET - This the 2nd of B2B home matches for Farul as this one is in Constanta also. Last week they played to a scoreless draw but BOTH they and their opponent EACH had a goal disallowed and each had one clank off the bar. There were other opportunities in a match that easily should have totaled 4 goals. The points is we now get line value here as FC Voluntari is also off a scoreless draw last week in a match that also featured solid scoring opportunities. Voluntari has scored a goal in each of their road matches this season and Farul has surprisingly had two scoreless draws this season but they are averaging 1.7 goals scored in their other 3 matches and this is a great spot for them. But the fact they should have allowed 2 goals last week to Hermannstadt has me not trusting them to shut down Voluntari here and I am expecting a 2-1 type of match here. Both clubs hungry for goals after last week's results. 10* OVER 2 goals -110 in Farul |

08-22-22 | Sepsi v. Universitatea Cluj OVER 2 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -126 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -125 in Universitatea Cluj vs Sepsi @ 10 AM ET - I know that Sepsi is off B2B scoreless draws but each of their first 3 matches this season totaled at least 2 goals and averaged 3.3 goals. Things will open up again here as they now face a Universitatea Cluj club that has allowed 1.6 goals per match on the season. Out of all 16 clubs in the league, only Chindia Targoviste (1.8) and CS Mioveni (2.0) in the goals allowed department thus far on the season. Of the first 5 matches this season for Universitatea Cluj only 1 has failed to reach at least 2 goals scored. Like the value here with the over 2 in this one. A lot of golden chances denied in the recent scoreless draw for Sepsi and, after all the bad bounces and crazy missed opportunities, this one will make up for it with plenty of goals. Note that Universitatea Cluj has allowed at least 1 goal in each of their 5 matches this season but also has scored at least 1 goal in all but on of their 5 matches. Solid odds on an over here. 10* OVER 2 goals -125 in Universitatea Cluj |

08-21-22 | Manchester City v. Newcastle United OVER 3 | Top | 3-3 | Win | 110 | 9 h 21 m | Show |
EPL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 or 3 in Newcastle United vs Manchester City @ 11:30 AM ET - If you can find over 2.5 or 2.75, even if have to lay a little extra juice, that is the way I would recommend playing this one. Of course the over 3 at plus money is still a nice option as well but there is a chance this match could land on exactly 3 goals and then you push instead of win. I like the fact that the only two clubs in the league that have yet to allow a goal in first two matches are matched up here. In typical contrarian fashion, I am looking for plenty of goals here but, of course, is not without reason. Manchester City is again looking like the top club in the league and is off a 4-0 win last week. Newcastle is off a scoreless draw last week but did win their first match 2-0 and they are known for playing well at home. I look for the hosts to score at least 1 goal here but they are big dogs for a reason here and the visitors will likely prevail. That put this match at a 2-1 final at the very least but 3-1 or 3-2 would also not surprise me in the least. 10* OVER the total in Newcastle United |

08-21-22 | Brighton & Hove Albion v. West Ham United +140 | Top | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 58 m | Show |
EPL Sunday 10* Top Play West Ham United +140 vs Brighton & Hove Albion @ 9 AM ET - West Ham is the only club in the league thus far that has yet to score a goal. Granted we are only two matches into the new season (some clubs played their 3rd match yesterday) but the point is there is some extra value here. That's because people see a West Ham club with no goals and not even a point in the table taking on a Brighton club that has a win and a draw in its first two matches. Some will view West Ham having had a match on Thursday as negative here. However, that win in UEFA Europa Conference League Qualifying action actually helps West Ham United because they won 3-1 and got some goal scoring going. They will now build on that here at home against a Brighton club that won only 12 matches out of 38 last season. West Ham won 9 of their home matches last season and this looks like a great spot for them to go for the kill. Look for them to get revenge for a 3-1 loss to Brighton in the most recent meeting. Yes we must avoid the draw here and there is some risk of a draw but I feel strongly that the hosts are going to earn the full 3 points in the table with this one. 10* WEST HAM UNITED +140 |

08-20-22 | UTA Arad v. Rapid Bucuresti -111 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 58 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Saturday 10* Top Play Rapid Bucuresti -111 vs UTA Arad @ 2:30 ET - Great situational spot. Rapid is off a 1-0 loss last week which was their first since a 1-0 loss to CFR Cluj in Week 1. In between, Rapid Bucuresti rattled off 3 straight wins by a combined score of 5 to 1. I love the situational edge here with Rapid off a loss and UTA Arad off a win. Even though Arad won last week, they had won just once in 4 prior weeks and the 2 defeats in this stretch were by a combined score of 5-0. Arad has yet to win back to back matches this season and I do not see that changing on the road at Bucuresti either. Rapid has not lost back to back matches this season so this is a very solid double perfect YTD situation here. Rapid Bucuresti won the most recent meeting 2-0 and I expect another solid victory here given the situation. 10* RAPID BUCURESTI -111 |

08-20-22 | Arsenal v. AFC Bournemouth OVER 2.5 | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
EPL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 or 2.75 in AFC Bournemouth vs Arsenal @ 12:30 ET - Arsenal is red hot and has won 8 straight matches across all competitions but this looks like a very tricky match for them. AFC Bournemouth already won their first match at home 2-0 and, prior to a 4-0 shellacking at the hands of champions Manchester City, they had scored at least 1 goal in 8 straight matches across all competitions. In fact, AFC Bournemouth averaged scoring 2 goals per match in those 8 matches. The way I see this one playing out is that the hosts will indeed manage a goal against this red hot Arsenal club. However, Arsenal has been so relentless and consistently on the attack and answering goals with goals of their own that I anticipate at least a 2-1 final here. Arsenal has scored an incredible average of 4 goals per match in this 8-match winning streak. Yes this extends back to last season but most of it was in the pre-season leading up to this current campaign and this Arsenal club is loaded with confidence right now because of all the winning. I just do not see this Bournemouth club being shutdown on their home pitch though either. That said, we'll see at least 3 in this one in my opinion. 10* OVER the total in AFC Bournemouth |

08-20-22 | Southampton v. Leicester OVER 3 | Top | 2-1 | Push | 0 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
EPL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5, 2.75 or 3 in Leicester vs Southampton @ 10 AM ET - Only the extremely disappointing Manchester United has allowed as many goals (6) as each of these clubs, Leicester and Southampton, have surrendered early this season. That said, I am looking for a wild one in this match-up. Southampton is notorious for allowing too many goals in road matches in particular and Leicester has looked very leaky on defense at times early this season. Plus Leicester scored 4 goals in 2 matches this season and Southampton has scored 3 so far this season so we should see plenty in this one. I would not be surprised to see a 2-2 draw in this one. Very competitive match but with plenty of scoring chances. 10* OVER the total in Leicester |

08-19-22 | Petrolul 52 v. U Craiova 1948 +103 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Friday 10* Top Play U Craiova 1948 Money Line +103 vs Petrolul Ploiesti @ 2 ET - U Craiova 1948 defeated a very strong CFR Cluj club in their first home match this season. However, they then lost their next home match to Universitatea Craiova. Suffice to say, they were not happy about the result and they will be ready to defend their home pitch must better in this one. That is bad news for a Petrolul Ploiesti club that, despite having a record equivalent to U Craiova 1948, has scored only 3 goals in 5 matches this season. There is only other club, league-worst CS Mioveni, that has fared so poorly this season thus far in terms of getting on the scoresheet. That said, I look for the hosts to pull away as this one goes on and they get the home victory. Petrolul Ploiesti has scored only 1 goal in 2 road matches this season. U Craiova 1948 has scored 4 goals in 2 home matches this season. Excellent value for the hosts and I will grab them here. 10* U Craiova 1948 Money Line +103 |

08-19-22 | Arges v. Mioveni OVER 2 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -111 | 8 h 14 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in CS Mioveni vs FC Arges @ 11 AM ET - If each team scores at least once and the match does not end in a draw then you have a 2-1 final at the very least here. The odds strongly favor that and that is why I am pulling the trigger with the over here. Each team has played 5 matches and FC Arges has yet to have a draw and CS Mioveni has had only 1 draw. As for goals allowed, Arges allowing 1.8 per match and Mioveni allowing 2.2 per match. Mioveni has allowed at least 1 goal in all 5 matches. Arges has allowed at least 1 goal in 4 straight matches after delivering a clean sheet in first match. Strictly using probability mathematics, these clubs have have shown combined 90% odds that match will not end in a draw and combined 90% odds that they will each allow at least 1 goal. That means an 81% win factor here based on odds factoring that this match gets to at least a 2-1 final. 10* OVER 2 in CS Mioveni |

EPL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals in Liverpool vs Crystal Palace @ 3 ET - Liverpool is angry off an opening-week draw and will be relentless with pressure in the offensive zone in this one. Crystal Palace was shutout last week at Arsenal but actually had a couple of great chances they failed to capitalize on. As strong as Liverpool is at home, it still would not surprise me to see them give one up here to a talented Crystal Palace squad but I do see them winning this match by a multiple-goal margin. That puts this one at a 3-1 final at least. However, lets say Liverpool does manage to deliver a clean sheet...I still see this one going over via a 3-0 or 4-0 final. The Reds have been so dominant at home and will be relentless here after what happened late week and Crystal Palace does not have a good history against them. This includes the Eagles conceding 6 goals in the two meetings between these clubs last season. 10* OVER 2.5 goals in Liverpool |

Romania Liga I Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in Farul Constanta vs Hermannstadt @ 12:30 ET - Hermannstadt has been the surprise of the league so far despite having financial problems. They are undefeated with a 2-0-2 mark the equivalent of Farul Constanta. That makes this an interesting match-up as I really like Farul to play well at home but the gung ho visitors have scored at least 1 goal in every match this season and actually have averaged scoring nearly 2 goals per match! Hermannstadt also has allowed a goal in each of last 3 matches. I don't see either club being held off the scoresheet here and neither team settling for a draw as these two teams are currently tied in the table and neither one wants to remain that way when the dust settles on this battle. Note that Farul suffered a scoreless draw in their most recent home match and this was after scoring a pair of goals in their season opener at home. The hosts will respond and will not take the foot off the gas in terms of an attacking style in this one. We're going to see plenty of goals here. 10* OVER 2 in Farul Constanta |

Romania Liga 1 Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -126 in FC Voluntari vs Sepsi @ 10 AM ET - Sepsi off a scoreless draw with UTA last week. UTA followed that up with a 2-1 win in their match this week. So often after a rare scoreless draw like that, the clubs respond with a more offensive-minded match in their next one. That is what I expect to see here as well with Sepsi. Note that Sepsi's first 3 matches this season averaged totaling 3.3 goals apiece. FC Voluntari off a 2-1 loss at Hermannstadt last week and they scored 3 goals in their most recent home match the week prior. Each of last 4 meetings between these clubs the past two seasons have totaled at least 3 goals. I am putting that 2-season 4-0 over record to the test here. 10* OVER 2 -126 in FC Voluntari |

08-14-22 | Botosani v. CFR Cluj OVER 2.25 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +120 in CFR Cluj vs FC Botosani @ 11:30 AM ET - CFR Cluj is again at the top of the table and a big key is they are scoring an average of 2 goals per match. However, FC Botosani will not be push-overs here and are averaging 1.5 goals per match. Wish we could get the over 2 goals here as so many Romania Liga I matches have totaled at least 2 goals but I am also fully comfortable with the over 2.5 goals and +120 comeback return as both these clubs have shown they can find the back of the net early and often this season. Also, the last 3 weeks matches involving CFR Cluj have averaged 3 goals per match. Another way to look at this one is that FC Botosani has scored at least 1 goal in every match this season yet CFR Cluj is a heavy favorite for a reason. In other words, look for at least a 2-1 final here. 10* OVER 2.5 goals +120 in CFR Cluj |

08-14-22 | Tottenham Hotspur v. Chelsea OVER 2.5 | Top | 2-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
EPL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Chelsea vs Tottenham @ 11:30 AM ET - Chelsea has won the last 4 meetings between these clubs and scored an average of 2 goals per victory. That bodes well for plenty of goals here because, though Chelsea is known for defensive prowess, this Tottenham club really loaded up over the summer and look very strong on the attack. Yes, last week's 4-1 win was against defensively-challenged Southampton. However, it was a big victory that allowed Tottenham to build up some confidence heading into this huge early-season match with Chelsea. Look for plenty of scoring here possibly even up to a 2-2 draw. With Tottenham having been handed a clean sheet by Chelsea in each of the last 4 meetings, the last thing the visitors want to do is stay back on their heels here. I look for a rather aggressive attacking style particularly as this match moves along and it should lead at least 3 goals in this one. 10* OVER 2.5 in Chelsea |
|||||||
08-13-22 | Manchester United +107 v. Brentford | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 50 m | Show |
EPL Saturday 10* Top Play Manchester United +107 @ Brentford @ 12:30 ET - Brentford is a scrappy team that rallied for a 2-2 draw last week and is at home here. That is what is helping to keep this line reasonable as I feel strongly that this is a great spot for Manchester United and we get value because they are on the road for this one. United lost their season opener to Brighton and they have a tough game with Liverpool on deck. That said, Man U knows they must be 100% focused here and I fully expect a strong effort to the see the visitors get the full 3 points in the table. Brentford finished last season strong and is a quality team but Man U underachieved last week and will not make the same mistake here. Keep in mind United did win both matches with Brentford by a combined score of 6 to 1 last season. More of the same expected today. 10* MANCHESTER UNITED +107 |

08-13-22 | Universitatea Cluj v. UTA Arad OVER 2 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in UTA Arad vs Universitatea Cluj @ Noon ET - 26 of the first 33 matches in Romania Liga I action this season have totaled at least 2 goals. Of course we do not want a push here but it is reassuring to know, with our over 2, that only 7 matches out of 33 this season have failed to attain at least that total this season. The only 2 that did not last week each involved these clubs and that is part of the reason I like the over so much here. Both clubs are frustrated with a lack of goal-scoring and will be emphasizing the attack and offensive zone time in this one. UTA Arad was in a scoreless draw at FC Sepsi last week while Universitatea Cluj was shutout at home in a 1-0 loss to Petrolul Ploiesti. Both clubs are now talking goal-scoring coming into this one and UTA Arad had allowed 1.7 goals per match first 3 weeks and Universitatea Cluj allowed the same, a 1.7 GAA, first 3 weeks of season. I am fully expecting an entertaining 2-1 match here. 10* OVER 2 in UTA Arad |
|||||||
08-13-22 | AFC Bournemouth v. Manchester City OVER 3.5 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
EPL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 3.5 in Manchester city vs Bournemouth @ 10 AM ET - Both clubs off 2-0 wins to open up the season with newly promoted Bournemouth winning in an upset. They face a much stiffer challenge here though and Manchester City is known for piling it on in home matches and I do not see them holding back here. Note they are favored by a 3-goal margin for a reason and I am expecting a 4-1 type affair in this one. The visitors have some confidence after last week's win and might find the back of the net once but City will be relentless at home and likely get to at least 4 goals here to push this one over all by themselves. 10* OVER 3.5 in Manchester City |
|||||||
08-13-22 | Leeds United v. Southampton OVER 2.5 | Top | 2-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show |
EPL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Southampton vs Leeds United @ 10 AM ET - Southampton continues to have major problems defensively. They also have gone to a 5-3-2 formation to emphasize the attack so I really do not expect things to slow down in their second match of the season. Southampton off a 4-1 loss at Tottenham and now will be hosting Leeds United after the visitors notched a 2-1 victory last week. I look for at least a 2-1 match to be the final result here and see excellent line value with this total at 2.5 goals. Leeds allowed 2 goals per match in road matches last season but again the defense of the hosts in this match-up has been so porous. That is why a 2-2 draw would not surprise me here in what should be a highly entertaining and competitive affair. Either way, we should see at least 3 goals here. 10* OVER 2.5 in Southampton |
|||||||
08-12-22 | U Craiova 1948 v. Arges OVER 2.25 | Top | 2-0 | Loss | -56 | 12 h 60 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Friday Soccer 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +115 in FC Arges vs U Craiova 1948 @ 2:30 ET - Both clubs have seen their matches average 3 goals so far this season. Both clubs have seen all 4 matches total at least 2 goals and each club has seen 3 of their 4 matches total at least 3 goals. With both clubs off 2-1 losses last week, you know they will push extra hard for the victory this week. U Craiova 1948 has had only 1 draw in 4 matches this season and FC Arges has not had any match end in a draw this season. That said, and with it being unlikely that either club will deliver a clean sheet here, I see this match as having strong odds for ending up at least a 2-1 final and that puts us into the win column here! 10* OVER 2.5 +115 in FC Arges |
|||||||
08-08-22 | Farul Constanta v. Botosani OVER 2 | Top | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 10 h 49 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 GOALS in FC Botosani vs Farul Constanta - These are two clubs and Botosani not afraid to risk on offensive end even at risk of getting in trouble on the counter-attack at the other end of the pitch. That is why Botosani conceded 2 goals in its other home match this season. The good news is Botosani scored 3 goals in that one for the win plus they have scored at least 1 goal in every single match this season. Farul Constanta scored 2 goals in each of first two matches to win both but now is coming off a frustrating scoreless draw with Chindia Targoviste last week. Undoubtedly Farul Constanta is going to push the pace in this one and look to get back onto the scoresheet early but Botosani certainly capable of doing the same. That said, this one has the makings of being one of the higher scoring matches this season and should get to at least 3. We certainly do not want a push at 2 goals but there is good chance we get to at least 2 goals here (though I am expecting much more). Note that 23 of 30 matches so far this season have totaled at least 2 goals so the ability to get an over 2 is a good value here. 10* OVER 2 in FC Botosani |
|||||||
08-08-22 | Voluntari +229 v. Hermannstadt | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Monday 10* Top Play VOLUNTARI +219 @ HERMANNSTADT - The hosts for this one are having financial issues and they have a mess with their home stadium situation and are being forced to play home matches in a nearby city instead of their home city. Indeed, it is a frustrating situation for Hermannstadt. I know they have still managed to play decently this season but complications forced this match to be moved from Saturday to Monday and it is simply a bad situation for the hosts from one of the most beautiful cities in Romania, Sibiu, having to play home matches in Medias. Hermannstadt did enjoy a blowout win 3-0 to open the season with a big victory but it was over Mioveni which is the worst club in the league. Their other matches have been 1-1 draws and so I know they are undefeated this season but Voluntari can absolutely get the upset here. In fact Voluntari has won 2 of 3 matches this season and only has conceded one goal on the campaign. Too much value to pass up on with the big dog in this one. 10* VOLUNTARI +219 |
|||||||
08-07-22 | Manchester City v. West Ham United OVER 3 | Top | 2-0 | Loss | -111 | 23 h 53 m | Show |
EPL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in West Ham United vs Manchester City @ 11:30 AM ET - You have to lay some juice to have the 2.5 in this one and normally I do not lay much juice but I do recommend it in this case just like yesterday's play involving Tottenham. Yes that one ended up totaling 5 goals but it was still some extra comfort having the over 2.5 rather than an over 3 and knowing we had cashed it by the time the match was only about 1/3 of the way in! In this one Sunday we have an excellent fixture as West Ham is solid on their home pitch, made some key off-season acquisitions, and is capable of matching goals with Manchester City. Yes City was the top club in the league last season and is the highest-scoring club. They are not known for conceding many goals but a fixture at a solid West Ham club is not easy and I expect the Hammers to make the net ripple once if not twice in this one. I am truly projecting 4 goals here and certainly expect at least 3 goals as this match should get to 2-1 at some point. The last 3 meetings between these clubs in premier league action were able to reach the 3 goal mark and the most recent one reached 4 goals in a 2-2 draw. 10* OVER 2.5 in West Ham United |
|||||||
08-07-22 | CFR Cluj v. Chindia Targoviste OVER 2 | Top | 2-0 | Push | 0 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in Chindia Targoviste vs CFR Cluj @ 11:30 AM ET - 21 of 27 matches so far this season have totaled at least 2 goals so the ability to get an over 2 is a good value here. I also like the fact that Chindia Targoviste was shutout last week in a surprising scoreless draw with Farul. Clubs that are off a match in which they were handed a clean sheet by their opponent have shown a strong tendency to be in a high-scoring match the very next week. It is logical of course because after being held scoreless, clubs put a little extra emphasis on being on the attack in the next week. So in this case Chindia Targoviste responds but note that CFR Cluj was the best club in the league last season and is again looking very strong early this season. CFR Cluj is scoring an average of 2 goals per match thus far. That said, I am looking for this match to get to 1-1 and then a deciding goal to be scored for a 2-1 final. 10* OVER 2 in Chindia Targoviste |

08-07-22 | UTA Arad v. Sepsi OVER 2 | Top | 0-0 | Loss | -127 | 7 h 22 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in Sepsi vs UTA @ 9 AM ET - 21 of 27 matches so far this season have totaled at least 2 goals to the ability to get an over 2 is a good value here. I also like the fact that UTA was shutout last week. Clubs that are off a match in which they were handed a clean sheet by their opponent have shown a strong tendency to be in a high-scoring match the very next week. It is logical of course because after being held scoreless, clubs put a little extra emphasis on being on the attack in the next week. So in this case UTA responds but note that Sepsi is scoring an average of 2.3 goals per match thus far. That said, I am looking for this match to get to 1-1 and then a deciding goal to be scored for a 2-1 final. 10* OVER 2 in Sepsi |

08-06-22 | Steaua Bucharesti -0.75 v. Mioveni | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -127 | 23 h 9 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Saturday 10* Top Play FCSB Goal Line -0.5 -127 @ CS Mioveni @ 7 ET - We get line value here because Football Club Steaua Bucharesti is winless on the season, just like CS Mioveni, but is on the road for this one so we get a manageable goal line. I will not hesitate to step in and get involved here. Yes FCSB still seeking first win but at least they have been somewhat competitive. Mioveni, on the other hand, has been totally blown out in all 3 matches and has lost each by a multiple goal margin. The hosts for this one have been outscored 9-2 this season and I look for a very hungry visitor to take advantage of facing a downtrodden host and get the road win here. 10* FCSB Goal Line -0.5 -127 |

08-06-22 | Southampton v. Tottenham Hotspur OVER 3 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 105 | 22 h 39 m | Show |
EPL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Tottenham vs Southampton @ 10 AM ET - You have to lay some juice to have the 2.5 in this one and normally I do not lay much juice but I do recommend it in this case. Tottenham will look to start the season big on their home pitch but Southampton is known for getting involved in high-scoring games and will not go down without a fight here. I am truly projecting 4 goals here and certainly expect at least 3 goals as this match should get to 2-1 at some point. The Hotspur averaged scoring about 2 goals per match last season while the Saints conceded nearly 2 goals per match on average as well. Tottenham is off a defeat in their final club friendly prior to this season but scored an average of 3 goals per match in their other 3 club friendlies prior to this season. Southampton saw each of their 3 club friendly matches total at least 3 goals and the matches averaged 3.7 goals. The last five meetings between these clubs have averaged 4.4 goals and only 1 of the 5 failed to reach the 3 goal mark. 10* OVER 2.5 in Tottenham |

08-05-22 | Arsenal -123 v. Crystal Palace | Top | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 12 h 29 m | Show |
Friday EPL 10* Top Play Arsenal Money Line -123 @ Crystal Palace @ 3 ET - Arsenal has looked great in the competitions leading into this regular season opener. Crystal Palace has issues in goal right now. This has the makings of a rout for the visitors and they also seek revenge for losing 3-0 to Crystal Palace when these clubs met in April. Note that between club friendly action and a match in the Emirates Cup, Arsenal is 5-0 last 5 by a combined score of 20 to 4. Crystal Palace also has fared well in club friendly action with a 3-1-1 mark but overall 12-8 margin in those matches. That coupled with some concerns in goal for the hosts has me all over the visitors in this London Derby affair. 10* ARSENAL -123 |

08-05-22 | Petrolul 52 v. Universitatea Cluj +120 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 55 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Friday Soccer 10* Top Play Universitatea Cluj Money Line +120 vs Petrolul Ploiesti @ Noon ET - This is a battle of two winless clubs but there are two key factors here favoring Universitatea Cluj in this match. One is the fact this match-up is taking place on their home pitch. However, the other is simply the fact that it is hard to win if you can not score goals and, so far this season, Petrolul Ploiesti is the lowest scoring club in the league with just one goal in three matches. Universitatea Cluj has 3 goals on the season and has earned a pair of draws but now coming off a 3-1 beatdown last week. That sets this one up well for a hungry host to get their first victory of the new season over a struggling Petrolul Ploiesti club that has been outscored 4 to 1 so far in this campaign. 10* UNIVERSITATEA CLUJ +120 |

08-01-22 | Botosani v. Hermannstadt OVER 2 | Top | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 11 h 35 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Soccer Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in Hermannstadt vs Botosani @ 1:30 ET - Of course a push is not a desired result but the fact that 18 of the first 23 matches this season in the SuperLiga in Romania have totaled at least 2 goals shows you the value in having the 2 goals with a play on the over. Also, having watched the matches last week involving these two clubs, the scoring opportunities were certainly there for much more than what rippled the net in Hermannstadt's 1-1 draw and Botosani's 1-0 win. Remember too that each one of these clubs scored 3 goals in their victories in week 1. Now, in the final match of the week 3 slate, this is a battle for first place. If these clubs avoid a draw then the winner of this one will get the full 3 points in the standings and move into first place. That said, I am fully expecting each team to again get on the scoresheet as they have done so far this season and I look for both teams to push hard for the extra points in the table and that means nothing less than a 2-1 final in my opinion. Remember Hermannstadt scored 3 goals in their only match this season and I remember Botosani's 3-2 week 1 win versus Chindia Targoviste was a wild match with so many scoring opportunities. Don't let last week's 1-0 Botosani victory fool you. They have not fixed all their defensive shortcomings but, at the same time, they can attack newly promoted Hermannstadt and do some damage here on the road. Prior to that 1-0 Botosani win their last 4 matches in league action averaged totaling 4 goals! 10* OVER 2 in Hermannstadt |

07-31-22 | Sepsi v. Petrolul 52 OVER 2 | Top | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Sunday Soccer 10* Top Play OVER 2 -124 in Petrolul Ploiesti vs Sepsi @ 11 AM ET - There are 16 clubs in the SuperLiga. Of those 16, entering Sunday, half of them have played 3 matches and the other half have played 2 matches thus far. Plenty of opportunities to score at least 1 goal. The only team that has yet to make the net ripple is Petrolul Ploiesti. Now, at home and hosting a Sepsi club that allowed 2 goals in its only road match this season, look for the hosts to finally get on the board. However, also note that this Sepsi club is off a 4-0 victory last week and scored 2 goals in its opening week draw. The visitors are piling up goals and the hosts are very hungry here. That said, and with this total available at 2 goals, I will not hesitate to step out with a top play on this one. 10* OVER 2 -124 in Petrolul Ploiesti |

07-29-22 | Chindia Targoviste v. Farul Constanta OVER 2 | Top | 0-0 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
Romania Liga 1 Soccer Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in Farul Constanta vs Chindia Targoviste @ 2:30 ET - Lot of scoring opportunities for each club in their matches last week that were not cashed in and that is why each club was involved in matches that ended with 2 goals rather than 3 or more. Look for this week to make up for that. Farul is playing this match with double revenge and hell bent on putting some goals on the board after they were handed a clean sheet by Chindia in each match last season! Keep in mind, Chindia only won 6 of their other 28 matches last season while Farul only lost 8 of their other 28 matches last season. The point is that those results last season were a bit of an anomaly to say the least. Farul is already 2-0 this season and has a solid shot at getting the job done on their home pitch here in week 3 of the new season. However, I would not be surprised to see Chindia answer them goal for goal. The visitors scored 3 goals in the two meetings last season. Also, Chindia enters this match having scored an average of 2 goals per match their last 3 regular season matches. However, they also allowed 3 goals in their only road match so far this season. I am looking for a 2-1 or even 2-2 type match here though a 3-2 final also would not surprise me in the least. A lot of scoring opportunities generated and conceded by these two clubs so far this season. More of the same here. 10* OVER 2 in Farul Constanta |

07-25-22 | Petrolul 52 +341 v. UTA Arad | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 8 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Soccer 10* Top Play Petrolul Money Line +341 @ UTA Arad @ 2:30 ET - I am taking a shot on the big dog here but it is with good reason. Newly promoted Petrolul played well at home last week but one mistake late cost them the match on a penalty shot. Now they go on the road and the visitors are hungry and will look to return the favor by ruining another club's home opener. In this case it is UTA Arad as they are excited about a new stadium. The issue for the hosts here is they do not look good at all last week and that was a 2-0 loss to an FC Arges team than then lost 4-0 this weekend at Sepsi! That makes Arad look even worse and this is simply a great opportunity to take a road club at a great comeback price as I am predicting the shocker here from the hungry visitors. 10* PETROLUL +341 |

07-25-22 | Hermannstadt v. Chindia Targoviste OVER 1.75 | Top | 1-1 | Win | 50 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Soccer 10* Top Play OVER 1.75 -120 or OVER 2 +110 in Chindia Tarogviste vs Hermannstadt @ 11:30 AM ET - Chindia Targoviste was one of only two clubs to allow 3 goals last week. Hermannstadt was one of only two clubs to score 3 goals last week. The defensive deficiencies were on display for Chindia Targoviste last week and now Hermannstadt enters this match with plenty of confidence. However, the club Hermannstadt defeated last week in a shutout was again delivered a clean sheet by their opponent this week. In other words, the defense of the visitors has not really been tested yet this season while Chindia Targoviste's defense already showing signs of weakness and the club they lost to 3-2 last week then got a 1-0 win this week. This points to the issue having been with Chindia Targoviste rather than the alternative. As a result, expect plenty of goals here and note that there is comfort with the low total here considering that only 3 of 14 matches so far in the new campaign have failed to total at least 2 goals. 10* OVER 1.75 or 2 in Chindia Targoviste |

07-24-22 | Steaua Bucharesti v. Rapid Bucuresti OVER 2.25 | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -56.5 | 25 h 3 m | Show |
Romania Liga I Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Rapid Bucuresti vs Steaua Bucuresti @ 2:30 ET - Perfect set up to expect plenty of goals in this rivalry match in Bucharest. FCSB is off a disappointing 1-1 draw against a Universitatea Cluj club they know they should have buried. FCSB will be going hard here as a result and will be on the attack early and often and lets not forget they scored an average of 1.8 goals per match last season. Each club can be counted on for at least 1 goal here and then I don't foresee either club in this rivalry match being content with a draw. Rapid is off a 1-0 loss last week but they were at Cluj and CFR Cluj was the top club in the league standings last season and will again be one of the best this season most likely. That said both clubs are looking strongly at creating quality scoring chances in this one and scoring plenty of goals. I feel certain we will see just that! 10* OVER 2.5 in Rapid Bucuresti |

Romania SuperLiga 10* Top Play Sunday Universitatea Craiova Money Line +100 @ Universitatea Cluj @ 11:30 AM ET - With Universitatea Craiova on the road for this one we are getting excellent line value. They are the superior club compared to this host club and Universitatea Cluj was fortunate to get the draw at FCSB last week. They will not be so fortunate here as Universitatea Craiova is off a draw versus Sepsi and will be fired up for the victory here. Keep in mind they only lost 8 of 30 matches last season and had an impressive +26 goal differential. As for the hosts here, Universitatea Cluj is newly promoted and don't let last week's draw fool you. FCSB gave a disappointing effort in that one and that will not the case with the club that Universitatea Cluj is tasked with facing this week. 10* Universitatea Craiova |

07-23-22 | Botosani v. Voluntari OVER 2 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 47 m | Show |
Romanian SuperLiga Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in Voluntari vs Botosani @ 1:30 ET - I won with Botosani last week but they were a bit sloppy defensively and barely hung on for the 3-2 win. That said, I expect Voluntari to have plenty of scoring chances here. However, I lost with the over in Voluntari's match last week as there were a number of missed opportunities and also overturned goals. I feel the the fact Voluntari is off a 1-0 victory last week is absolutely helping to give us some extra value here with the over in this week's match. Botosani's last 5 matches - their 1st this season and final 4 last season - all totaled at least 2 goals and actually averaged a total of 3.6 goals. More of the same expected here. 10* OVER 2 in Voluntari |

07-22-22 | Farul Constanta v. Mioveni OVER 2 | Top | 2-0 | Push | 0 | 9 h 14 m | Show |
Romania Liga I - Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals in Mioveni vs Farul Constanta @ 1:30 ET - Mioveni got destroyed 3-0 by a new promoted, but determined, Hermannstadt club last week to open up the new campaign. I do expect Mioveni to respond on their home pitch now after getting demolished on the road. So look for the hosts to at least get on the score sheet here. The trouble is they are facing a very strong Farul Constanta club that scored twice in their 2-1 home pitch victory over U Craiova 1948 last week. Farul did average 1.4 goals scored per game last season and certainly they should be able to get on the scoresheet here and, once this match gets to 1-1, I do not seeing it ending that way. There were only 2 draws in the 8 matches last week. Also, Farul only had 6 draws in 30 matches last season. The visitors will be gunning hard for the victory here and they added so much transfer talent coming into this season. I have a strong feeling that Mioveni going to be very competitive here and that is why I am not playing the side here. I simply look for this to equate to goals and feel strongly about this total getting to at least 2 goals but certainly with a great shot at 3 or more when all is said and done. 10* OVER 2 goals in Mioveni |

07-18-22 | Voluntari v. Petrolul 52 OVER 2 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 24 m | Show |
Rickenbach Monday Soccer 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals in Petrolul vs Voluntari @ 2:30 ET - So many changes for both clubs entering the new season. We have seen so far this season that a lot of clubs have had a lot of personnel changes and the result has been solid goal-scoring early. I feel this has a lot to do with some players being caught out of position and this then leading to solid scoring chances as a result. The match last night between FCSB and U Cluj should have ended with a lot more than just 2 goals in the 1-1 draw and it stayed under the 2.5 total as a bad beat result for that one. However, it also marked the 5th time in 6 matches thus far in week 1 that we have seen at least 2 goals scored. That said, getting this over at 2 is a solid value. Last season Voluntari's matches averaged 2 goals. Both teams come in hungry as Ploiesti is so happy to have Liga 1 football back and there will be plenty of enthusiasm from the home side here. However, the road club is the more experienced club and will keep Petrolul on its heels in this one too. This one shapes up to see plenty of goals as a result as hosts are scoring an average of 1.8 goals per match thus far on the season and none have been shutout. But the reason this match is priced nearly with equal odds for the w-l-d result is because the visitors have the experience edge and will answer the hosts goal for goal. Look for this one to possibly end 2-2 but I see at least a 2-1 final here and nothing less than a 1-1 but certainly a push on our best is not what we want. Still, value in the 2 in a match that should have plenty of scoring. 10* OVER 2 in Petrolul |

07-18-22 | Chindia Targoviste v. Botosani +115 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 115 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
Rickenbach Monday Soccer 10* Top Play Botosani Money Line +115 vs Chindia Targoviste @ 11:30 AM ET - This is a long trip for Targoviste as Botosani in the far northeastern corner of Romania. In league action last season Botosani lost just 6 times in 30 matches. Targoviste won just 8 times in 30 matches. Of course we run the risk of losing our bet if this one ends in a draw but I don't see that happening. The hosts are well prepared here after their time in Austria and playing this one with that edge and the advantage of being on their home pitch will prove to be too much for the visitors from Targoviste. Keep in mind, the hosts found the back of the net 10 more times than the visitors last season in league action and I just don't see the travelers having enough firepower to get the job done here. 10* BOTOSANI +115 |

05-22-22 | Aston Villa v. Manchester City OVER 3.5 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 105 | 2 h 8 m | Show |
10* OVER 3.5 in Manchester City - Aston Villa has a leaky defense at times and Manchester City needs the full 3 points here in the table to make sure they hold off Liverpool fo the top spot so I am expecting Man City to be very aggressive on the attack here and they do average 3 goals per match as a host this season and Aston Villa is averaging 1.4 goals scored per match this season so I look for them to find the back of the net at least once in this one plus the hosts fully capable of getting this match over the total all by themselves |

EPL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Aston Villa vs Burnley @ 3 ET - I know both teams coming off low-scoring matches but Burnley is allowing 1.5 goals per match when on the road this season and Aston Villa's home matches have seen them both score and concede 1.5 goals per match. Burnley desperate for points here and will be more aggressive on the attack in comparison with how they played against Tottenham. Burnley wants to avoid relegation and will do everything they can in that endeavor here. The visitors had scored an average of 1.5 goals per match in the 4 matches before the loss to Tottenham. The hosts had scored 2 goals per match last 3 matches before the draw with Crystal Palace. 10* OVER 2.5 in Aston Villa |

05-19-22 | Leicester v. Chelsea OVER 3 | Top | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 35 m | Show |
EPL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in Chelsea vs Leicester @ 3 ET - Chelsea has to be disappointed after the loss to Liverpool last weekend. At the same time, Leicester comes into this one surging with confidence and scoring plenty of goals. However, you know Chelsea will want to bounce back and will be no easy match on their home pitch. They are averaging 2 goals per match as a host this season. Leicester is conceding 2 goals per match as a visitor this season. With Leicester likely to continue to be aggressive and gets goals on the road here but also having issues stopping the opposition as travelers, I see this match getting quite crazy and 4 or 5 goals would not surprise me in the least. 10* OVER 3 in Chelsea |

EPL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 3.5 +120 in Southampton vs Liverpool @ 2:45 ET - Liverpool still has sights set on winning the league as they chase Manchester City for the top spot. There also will be no chance of Liverpool overlooking Southampton here as they lost here last season by a 1-0 final. So the visitors are going to pour it on here but the hosts have been solid on their home pitch this season and I do expect them to put up quite the fight here. Southampton will find the back of the net at least once but will not be surprised to see Liverpool score at least 3 goals here. The hosts getting to 2 would not be a shock here either as the visitors are allowing 1 goal per match when on the road this season. Considering all of the above and the plus money available on the over 3.5 goals in this one, it gets my highest rating. 10* OVER 3.5 +120 in Southampton |

EPL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Newcastle vs Arsenal @ 3 ET - Arsenal and Newcastle both looking to bounce back from losses in which they failed to score. As you can tell by the line here, Arsenal is the better club but the fact is they have been giving up too many goals of late plus have some injuries impacting the defense. Also, the hosts do tend to score better at home and I expect them to put up a strong effort here in this one. Look for Arsenal to ultimately prevail or look for at least a draw in this one. That said, the over is the play here as we should see at least a 2-1 final or perhaps even a 2-2 draw. There is just some leaky defense being played by both clubs of late and I do like the fact this match is at Newcastle. Both clubs hungry to bounce back after being dealt clean sheets by strong clubs last week. That said, should be goals aplenty in this one. 7 of last 8 Arsenal matches have totaled at least 3 goals and all signs point to that trend continuing here. 10* OVER 2.5 in Newcastle |

EPL Sunday 10* Top Play Brighton & Hove PK -115 @ Leeds United @ 9 AM ET - Even though Leeds are hosting this one, they are slumping and have less rest and are a bit of a depleted squad right now. Conversely, Brighton is playing extremely well of late and has the rest edge here plus has won 7 road matches this season while Leeds have only 4 victories on their home pitch this season. A lot of pressure on the hosts as they are looking to avoid relegation while Brighton is loaded with confidence and playing without any pressure. Leeds allowing an average of 2 goals per match as a host this season while the visitors allowing only 1 goal per match when traveling this season. 10* BRIGHTON & HOVE PK -115 |

EPL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in West Ham United vs Manchester City @ 9 AM ET - West Ham has scored in all their home matches this season and Manchester City has some issues impacting their defense right now. That said, West Ham should score at least once here but, of course, the visitors are heavy favorites on the road for a reason here. Manchester City is looking to hold off Liverpool for the top spot in the league in this campaign and will be heavy on the attack here. City averaging scoring about 2.6 goals per match this season while the hosts averaging about 1.7 goals scored per match on their home pitch. That said, plenty of goals expected here given all of the above. 10* OVER 3 in West Ham United |

EPL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Wolverhampton vs Manchester City @ 3:15 ET - Manchester City still gunning hard to lock up the top spot in the League for the season. They will not let up here. I know that Wolverhampton is known for lower-scoring matches on the season. However, the hosts have been struggling defensively and have allowed 5 goals over last two matches. For Manchester City, they have seen each of last 5 matches across all competitions total 4 or more goals. City has some depth concerns defensively and Wolverhampton should find the back of the net at least once in this one. However, the key to the over here is a Manchester City attack that has helped lead the way to piling up a league best average of 2.6 goals scored per match. The Wolves are scoring an average of 1 goal per match and I just don't see this match finishing with anything less than at least 3 goals given all of the above. 10* OVER 2.5 in Wolverhampton |

EPL Daytime Dominator Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.75 in Aston Villa vs Liverpool @ 3 ET - Aston Villa has played better recently but it had to do with level of competition too. The last time they faced a strong club, Aston Villa got blasted 4-0 by Tottenham. Now they are hosting one of the best clubs in the league and Liverpool is not happy as they are off a 1-1 draw versus Tottenham. That said, the visitors are going to bring an extremely strong effort here and I look for them to pile up the goals. Aston Villa home matches do average 3 goals apiece. Liverpool allows about 1 goal per match in road matches this season but also has scored an average of 2.5 goals on the season. That said a 3-1 type match would not surprise me in the least. I don't see the hosts being held without a goal on their home pitch and I also expect the visitors to be very aggressive on the attack here after scoring just 1 goal in their most recent match versus Tottenham. 10* OVER 2.75 in Aston Villa |

EPL Annihilation Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 3.5 goals +120 in Manchester City vs Newcastle United @ 11:30 AM ET - The hosts need to win after Liverpool settled for a 1-1 draw yesterday so now City can overtake them for first place in the table with a win here. I expect Manchester City to score plenty here as they are averaging 3 goals per match on the season when on their home pitch. Also, they are scoring an average of 4 goals per game in last 4 match-ups with Newcastle. The visitors have been playing better late in the season and should be good for at least a goal here but will not be able to stop a determined home club here. That said, this one should fly over the total via a 3-1 or 4-1 type final in my opinion. Look for at least 4 goals here given the situation. 10* OVER 3.5 goals +120 in Manchester City |

EPL Total of the Week Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in Liverpool vs Tottenham @ 2:45 ET - Tottenham tends to give Liverpool trouble. These match-ups between these two tend to be high-scoring. The thought here is another high-scoring match-up as Tottenham knows that going on the attack is their best chance for success here as they know they will not shut down Liverpool especially with this match being played at Anfield. Tottenham scoring an average of nearly 2 goals per match this season. Liverpool is known for being tough to score on when on their home pitch but, again, the hosts tend to have trouble slowing down the Hotspur. Liverpool should score plenty here as they average 2.5 goals scored per match and are even better when on their home pitch which means 3 goals would not be a surprise in the least in terms of the production of the host in this one. 4 of the last 5 meetings have totaled at least 3 goals and each of the last two have totaled 4 goals and I am projecting at least that many here with a 3-2 final actually in the cards in my opinion. 10* OVER 3 in Liverpool |

EPL Saturday 10* Top Play Manchester United PK -108 vs Brighton & Hove @ 12:30 ET - Manchester United undervalued in my opinion. They are off a key win in the last match and look revitalized. I feel that Brighton & Hove is overvalued here. This is a host that has won only 3 matches in 17 on their home pitch this season. Conversely, Manchester United is a club that has won 16 matches this season and seems revitalized of late. I feel strongly that the visitors will continue their strong recent run of play and get the big victory here. The nice thing is that a draw gets us a push here since the goal line is a pick'em. Man U has played 36 matches this season and only 10 were losses so, based on odds alone, we have value here with a 26 of 36 spot. 10* MANCHESTER UNITED PK -108 |

EPL Early Annihilation Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Manchester United vs Brentford @ 3 ET - Brentford has actually been in solid form and their road matches have been higher-scoring than their home matches as the former have averaged 3 goals apiece. That is what I am fully expecting here - at least a 2-1 final - as I expect Brentford to put up a fight in this one but I also see Manchester United putting forth a very strong effort here in their final home match of the campaign. It has been a disappointing campaign for Manchester United but they battle hard in their 1-1 draw with Chelsea and now will push even harder to end the home portion of their season on a positive note with a big win here. Brentford fully capable of an upset here with how strong they have been playing and would not be surprised to see this match in a 2-2 draw either. Solid goal-scoring expected as, prior to their 1-1 draw with defensive-minded Chelsea, 3 straight Manchester United matches had totaled 4 or more goals. Brentford off a scoreless draw with Tottenham but, prior to this, they had scored 2 or more goals in 5 of last 6 matches and averaged 2.3 goals scored per match. The last two matches between these clubs each totaled 4 or more goals. More of the same expected here. 10* OVER 2.5 in Manchester United |

EPL Early Annihilation Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in West Ham United vs Arsenal @ 11:30 AM ET - West Ham has scored in all their matches on their home pitch this season. Yes, at least 1 goal in each match. Of course red hot Arsenal is favored to win for a reason. In other words, the least we should see here is a 2-1 final on that notion alone! No guarantees of course but indeed we should get to 3 goals based on logic here. The last time Arsenal visited the Hammers they found themselves down 3-0 but battled all the way back in the 3-3 draw. No lead is safe in other words and neither club has forgotten that match. That said, this is a match that should see solid scoring because West Ham is missing some guys on defense and plus Arsenal, as strong as they have been, has still proven to not be immune to untimely miscues defensively which lead to great scoring chances for the opposition. This one should feature plenty of scoring as the visitors desperate to stay hot and get the full 3 points in the table as they are hungry for that top-4 finish this season. 10* OVER 2.5 in West Ham United |

TOTAL OF THE MONTH EPL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 3.5 goals +125 in Leeds United vs Manchester City @ 12:30 PM ET - The fact that Leeds United will have a raucous crowd at home for this one should help them find the back of the net at least once in this one but the key to this total going over on their home pitch is they will not be able to stop the top team in the league. Manchester City will score a pile here. Leeds is off a scoreless draw but that was preceded by 4 matches that averaged 3.3 goals apiece. Those matches, of course, were not against Man City. The last time they faced Man City they were destroyed 7-0. Man City enters this match having scored an average of 3.5 goals last 4 matches across all competitions and they allowed 3 goals apiece in 2 of those 4 matches. Leeds will put up a fight here but they are going to have to score a little to keep up here and a high-scoring match will be the result. The visitors have some injury issues with their defense here and I do expect the hosts to put some pressure on the attack in this one. 10* OVER 3.5 +125 in Leeds United |

04-30-22 | Brighton & Hove Albion v. Wolverhampton Wanderers | Top | 3-0 | Win | 101 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
10* Top Play Brighton & Hove Goal Line Pick +101 - Brighton & Hove have lost only 4 of 17 road matches this season. They are coming off a match on their home pitch in which they had to settle for a draw despite jumping out to a 2-0 lead. This means extra motivation here for the visitors and note that Wolverhampton is in poor current form overall plus already has 7 losses on the season in 16 matches on their home pitch. The value of the goal line at a pick'em is that a draw becomes a push at the betting window and based on the current situation as well as current form and the fact that the visitors have picked up at least a point in 13 of 17 road matches this season, this is a top play for me on the side. 10* BRIGHTON & HOVE +101 |

EPL USA Network Rout Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Crystal Palace vs Leeds United @ 3 ET - Crystal Palace and Leeds United each are battling hard to avoid relegation. Both will be going strong for the full 3 points in the table here. Leeds allows piles of goals and this is particularly true on the road this season. However, Leeds also has been scoring a lot of goals recently as they have been on the attack in looking to earn big points in the table and avoid relegation. With how well Crystal Palace has been playing when on their home pitch, I am looking for plenty of scoring here. Leeds concedes a lot on the road but also will be on the attack and is capable of getting great scoring chances even though Crystal Palace known for being solid defensively on their home pitch. The current trending for Leeds has me envisioning at least a 2-1 final in this one. 10* OVER 2.5 in Crystal Palace |

EPL King Power Blowout Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals in Leicester vs Aston Villa @ 10 AM ET - With Leicester the hosts in this one, this match is taking place at King Power Stadium. I am looking for enough fire "power" from each side to send this one over the total. I love the fact that Leicester will be pushing hard for the full 3 points in the table and Aston Villa has never had a draw this season in 16 road matches and a clean sheet here is unlikely. In other words, this match has high likelihood of being at least a 2-1 final given all those factors and the posted total here is 2.5 goals so we have solid value here. Leicester could be a little worn out because they have had some extra matches lately and that will put Aston Villa on the attack even more in this one as they look to take advantage. That said, you also know the hosts are going to put up a strong fight at King Power Stadium in this one so the result should be at least a 2-1 final. Solid line value here. 10* OVER 2.5 in Leicester |
