See our picks of the day and results in the table below:
1. VfB Stuttgart vs. FC Köln (Bundesliga) – 1
Stuttgart is currently 5th in the league and has turned their home stadium into a fortress, winning 7 out of 10 matches there. They have a dominant history against Köln, winning 4 of the last 5 meetings. Köln is sitting in 10th and has struggled significantly on the road, failing to win any of their last 6 away games.
2. Real Madrid vs. Real Sociedad (La Liga) – 1
Real Madrid is in a tight race for the title, sitting just 1 point behind Barcelona. They are in great form under new manager Álvaro Arbeloa, especially with Kylian Mbappé scoring in six straight games. Real Sociedad is also in peak form, unbeaten in their last nine matches, making this a high-stakes clash between two of Spain’s hottest teams.
3. Young Boys vs. Winterthur (Swiss Super League) – 1
This is a “top vs. bottom” style matchup. Young Boys are the clear favorites at home, where they average over 2 goals per game. Winterthur is currently at the bottom of the table and has a poor away record, losing 9 of their 12 road trips this season. However, recent stats suggest Young Boys often win by close margins rather than huge blowouts.
4. Skënderbeu vs. Apolonia Fier (Albania Kategoria) – 1
Skënderbeu is hosting this second-tier Albanian clash. Historically, Skënderbeu is the more established side in this fixture. Apolonia Fier has been competitive but often struggles to find the net consistently when playing away in Korçë.
5. Glentoran vs. Ballymena United (NIFL Premiership) – 1
Glentoran sits 3rd in the league and has a very strong record against Ballymena, winning 9 of their last few encounters. Ballymena is struggling in 10th place and has a very weak defensive record away from home. Glentoran is expected to control the tempo at the BetMcLean Oval.
6. Dinamo Zagreb vs. Istra 1961 (Croatia HNL) – 1
Dinamo Zagreb remains the powerhouse of Croatian football. They have kept 9 clean sheets this season and boast the league’s top scorer, Dion Drena Beljo. Istra has been decent away from home (ranked 3rd on road stats) but hasn’t kept a clean sheet in 13 matches, which is a major red flag against Zagreb’s attack.
7. Ajax vs. Fortuna Sittard (Eredivisie) – 1
Analysis: Ajax is 4th and looking to climb higher. While they have historical dominance over Fortuna, they have been inconsistent lately, drawing or losing 3 of their last 6. Fortuna Sittard is a “tough nut to crack” and has covered the handicap spread in 7 consecutive games, suggesting they won’t be easily blown away.
8. Orlando Pirates vs. Marumo Gallants (South Africa PSL) – 1
The Pirates are top of the log and have a near-perfect home record (6 wins, 1 loss). They have been defensively elite, conceding zero goals in their last five outings. Marumo Gallants are 13th and haven’t won a single game in their last five attempts.
