hamgrat's Tips

15th February 2025
12:00 Eintracht Braunschweig v Darmstadt

Eintracht Braunschweig

50 WIN

Braunschweig won last time out and could do again as they take on a Darmstadt side that has lost three in a row now.
12:00 Elversberg v Greuther Furth

Draw

50 WIN

A big price for a draw but one I'm going to go for as both sides are unbeaten in two games, Elversburg drew their last fixture at home and the only previous meeting here was drawn 1-1.
12:00 Kaiserslautern v Hannover 96

Draw

50 WIN

This is an interesting clash between two sides in great form, with Kaiserslauten winning their last four league games and Hannover unbeaten in their last four, so I fancy the draw with them cancelling each other out.
12:30 Cambridge Utd v Exeter
Cambridge have at least drawn two of their last four matches and can take advantage of an Exeter side that took Nottingham Forest to penalties in the cup on Wednesday and claim victory here.
12:30 Cardiff v Bristol City

Draw

50 WIN

Both Cardiff and Bristol City have lost one and drawn one of their last two games so are fairly evenly matched and this derby was drawn 1-1 earlier this season and I can see the honours being shared again.
12:30 Northampton v Wrexham

Draw

50 WIN

Northampton have won their last two and Wrexham their last three so this is a meeting between two teams in good form and that often results in a draw, so I'll predict one here at a decent price.
12:30 Oxford Utd v Portsmouth

Draw

50 WIN

Oxford have drawn three of their last four games and only lost 1-0 to Burnley so will be hard to beat here but after beating Cardiff 2-1, Portsmouth will also be tricky, so I'm going for a draw.
12:30 Preston v Burnley
Neither of these sides are renowned for producing great entertainment and I don't see that changing here with Preston winning four of their last five and Burnley winning their last three, so could well cancel each other out.
14:30 VfB Stuttgart v Wolfsburg

VfB Stuttgart #2-1

50 WIN

Stuttgart are big favourites to win this one given they've won four of their last six and Wolfsburg have drawn their last three, but that last stat suggests the hosts won't have it easy so I'm going for them to win 2-1.
15:00 Barnsley v Huddersfield

Draw

50 WIN

Both Barnsley and Huddersfield have drawn one and lost three of their last four matches so with them in such similar form, I'll go for the draw in this Yorkshire derby.
15:00 Bristol Rovers v Burton Albion

Draw

50 WIN

Bristol Rovers drew their last game and won the one before that while Burton drew their last two so both are hard to beat right now so I'll go for the draw.
15:00 Bromley v Fleetwood Town

Draw

50 WIN

As both Bromley and Fleetwood have won one and drawn one of their last two games, they're very closely matched and I think the draw is on.
15:00 Carlisle v Colchester

Colchester

50 WIN

Colchester deserve favouritism for this one as they've won four of their last five and Carlisle have lost four in a row and I fancy the visitors to be celebrating on their way back home.
15:00 Cheltenham v Barrow
Cheltenham favoured here because they've won four of their last five at home and three in a row while Barrow are bad travellers, losing four of their last five on the road.
15:00 Fulham v Nottm Forest

Draw #1-1

50 WIN

Both sides have won two and lost one of their last three so I feel that makes a draw quite likely and as both have been among the goals of late, I think 1-1 is worth a shot.
15:00 Gillingham v Crewe

Gillingham

50 WIN

There's really not to recommend for either of these sides right now as both have won none of their last five games, but I'll just give the edge to the home side, Gillingham, as Crewe haven't won here since 2014.
15:00 Harrogate Town v Swindon

Swindon

50 WIN

This ought to be a comfortable away win given Swindon are unbeaten in five games and Harrogate haven't won any of their last five.
15:00 Hull v Norwich

Draw

50 WIN

Neither of these two sides have won either of their last two games, so not in great form, and they'd probably take a draw to get back on track.
15:00 Leyton Orient v Lincoln City

Draw

50 WIN

Leyton Orient have won two and lost one of their last three games but Lincoln have drawn two and lost one so they're fairly evenly matched and H2Hs are usually close, so here's a punt on the draw.
15:00 Luton v Sheff Utd

Sheff Utd

50 WIN

This is a decent price for an away win given Luton have lost three of their last four and Sheffield United have won three in a row anywhere and three in a row on the road.
15:00 Millwall v West Brom

Millwall

50 WIN

I think the hosts have what it takes to win here as they've won four of their last five matches and were victorious last time they played at home and won two of the last three meetings here.
15:00 Morecambe v Accrington Stanley

Draw

50 WIN

I'll take the draw here with neither of these sides in close proximity to each other in great form right now as both have only won one of their last five.
15:00 Newport County v Bradford

Draw

50 WIN

Newport County have won four in a row and Bradford City three in a row so with two good sides in good form clashing, I think they could cancel each other out and play out a draw.
15:00 Reading v Rotherham

Reading

50 WIN

Reading haven't lost in three while Rotherham haven't won in four so I'm not sure I'm happy with Rotherham being favourites for this one as I can see Reading turning them over.
15:00 Sheff Wed v Coventry

Draw

50 WIN

Both won their last game and lost the one before that so they seem evenly matched and with Sheffield Wednesday drawing two of their last five and each of their last three at home, I like the look of a draw here too.
15:00 Southampton v Bournemouth

Bournemouth #2-1

50 WIN

Bournemouth ought to be good enough to win this one after pushing Liverpool hard last time out, but Southampton beat Ipswich in their last game, so won't simply roll over, so I'm going for 2-1 as my score pick.
15:00 Stevenage v Peterborough

Draw

50 WIN

The draw looks good here between two sides who have only won one of their last six games combined so it's hard to make a case for either romping to victory.
15:00 Stoke v Swansea

Swansea

50 WIN

I'll go with the away win for this one as Stoke have lost two in a row whereas Swansea did win one game before their loss in midweek to Sheffield Wednesday.
15:00 Tranmere v Milton Keynes Dons

Draw

50 WIN

This could easily be a draw given neither of these sides can buy a win at the moment with Tranmere drawing two of their last five as well.
15:00 Walsall v Chesterfield

Chesterfield

50 WIN

Going for the away win here as Chesterfield have won two of their last three (although both were at home) but could nick this one against Walsall, who are winless in five and have drawn their last two at home.
15:00 Wigan v Stockport

Draw

50 WIN

Wigan drew their last league game, as did Stockport, so that would suggest there's a reasonable chance these two could play out a stalemate here.
15:15 Osasuna v Real Madrid

Real Madrid #2-1

50 WIN

I think Real Madrid will prevail here but they're in the habit of late of not making things easy and their defensive issues could easily lead to Osasuna scoring. Both teams have scored in each of Osasuna's last four games and five of Madrid's last seven.
15:30 Moreirense v Casa Pia
The draw looks like a decent bet here given Moreirense have drawn two of their last three at home and Casa Pia are inconsistent on the road.
15:30 Nacional v Estoril

Estoril

50 WIN

Estoril have won their last five games and are unbeaten in six including three straight away wins and I think they can add to it here as Nacional have lost two of their last three.
17:00 Lazio v Napoli

Draw

50 WIN

I'll take the draw here with Napoli drawing two in a row and Lazio winning two in a row but being a bit behind Napoli in the standings, I think this will be a really close contest and therefore a draw.
18:00 Santa Clara v Benfica

Benfica & Yes

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

Santa Clara are in decent form, but Benfica are a better side and should win but I can see Santa Clara getting on the scoresheet.

Benfica #2-1

50 WIN

I think Benfica will win this one but perhaps not as easily as they might like given Santa Clara have won their last two games and Benfica's last two league wins came with them also conceding, so I'm going for a 2-1 win for the visitors.
19:30 Fortuna Dusseldorf v Hertha Berlin

Fortuna Dusseldorf

50 WIN

Dusseldorf are heavily favoured here given they are unbeaten in their last four league games (W2, D2) and Hertha Berlin have lost their last three and failed to score in the last two.
20:00 Willem II v FC Groningen

Willem II

50 WIN

Willem II are a bit inconsistent at home but Groningen have been poor on the road recently, so I'm going for the home win with not much conviction, it has to be said.
20:30 Sporting v FC Arouca

Sporting & No

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

No value in backing Sporting in the market but I fancy them to keep a clean sheet as they're a much better team than Arouca and well ahead of them in the table.

Sporting #2-0

50 WIN

Sporting are my pick to win here and there's no value in their odds-on price for the win, so I'll take them to win 2-0 - their last two league wins both came via a two-goal margin.
16th February 2025
13:30 PEC Zwolle v Heerenveen

Draw

50 WIN

Zwolle have drawn one and lost one of their last two matches while Heerenveen have drawn their last two, so a draw looks good to me.
14:00 Monza v Lecce

Lecce

50 WIN

Monza are hopeless at the moment having lost their last four and are bottom, so this is a great opportunity for Lecce to pull further clear and build on a their two-game unbeaten run.

Lecce & No

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

Lecce should win here given Monza's struggles and I can see them doing so without conceding as Monza have only scored once in three games and Lecce held Bologna to a clean sheet last time out.

Lecce #1-0

50 WIN

As everything points to Lecce winning this, and quite possibly without conceding, I'll go 1-0, as I wouldn't expect them to run away with it, especially away from home.
14:30 Werder Bremen v TSG Hoffenheim

Werder Bremen #3-2

50 WIN

These two often play out high scoring games with both teams scoring (4-3 to Bremen last meeting, 2-1 Hoffenheim before that, 3-2 Hoffenheim before that), so I reckon Bremen will take this but it will be full of goals again.
15:30 Rio Ave v AVS

Rio Ave

50 WIN

Rio Ave to win this one as they're unbeaten in four while AVS have lost three of their last four and lost their last two on the road.
19:45 Juventus v Inter Milan

Draw

50 WIN

Juventus have won two in a row but have drawn three of their last four and three of their five games against sides above them while Inter drew their last big game against AC Milan, so I see this one finishing level too.
19:45 Rennes v Lille

Draw #2-2

50 WIN

I quite fancy the draw here with Rennes in good form and Lille desperate to bounce back from defeat to Le Havre last time out, and with both teams being in the goals of late, I reckon 2-2 is worth a punt.
20:30 Guimaraes v Braga

Draw

50 WIN

Guimaraes drew two of their last four games but can hold Braga here, who have lost their last four as they've drawn four of their last five at home and won two of the last three meetings here.
