Touchwood1988
Big fan of both flat and jump racing. Love to try and find a big price sleeper in handicaps. Not afraid to back a short priced jolly but with bookies paying extra places in many events there's usually value to be found at tasty odds

Winner on racecourse debut at Thirsk before only going down by a neck last time out in a Group Two at Newmarket. A repeat of that last run should be enough to win this race, with many of today's rivals having lots to prove at this level.

Boston Utd
Boston won their only game so far this season and can go two from two with home advantage against Halifax, who have lost both of their games, conceding five goals along the way.
19:45 Carlisle v Solihull Moors
Regan Linney
First Goalscorer
Regan Linney scored twenty-three league goals last season for Altrincham and got off the mark for new club Carlisle with a double at the weekend. At 15/4, he looks a value bet to open the scoring with home advantage tonight against Solihull.
19:45 Cheltenham v Bromley
Bromley
50 WIN
@2.40
Win

Bromley have won one and drawn two of their three league games so far this season. With Michael Cheek already back amongst the goals, they look a value bet at 7/5 to win at Cheltenham, who are bottom having lost all three games without scoring a goal.
19:45 Northampton v Lincoln City
Lincoln City
Lincoln have won two of their three league games so far this season and look a value bet at odds against when they visit Northampton, who have taken just one point from their three games, conceding five goals along the way.
19:45 Swindon v Barnet
Swindon
Swindon have won two of their three games so far this season, scoring six goals along the way. At odds against, they look a value with home advantage against Barnet, who have lost all three games on their return to the Football League.

The bottom two teams clash here, and both have struggled for goals, scoring just nineteen and eighteen times respectively so far this season. This could be a close, hard-fought game with few chances, making under three goals a tempting bet at odds against.

Odense BK

Odense have enjoyed a good start to the new season with two wins and a draw from their four games so far. With home advantage, they can extend that good run against their visitors, Aarhus, who have won once in the league but have scored just five times in their four games.

Two wins here at Stratford over hurdles at today's trip. Two decent efforts since switching to chasing this season before finishing six lengths back at Perth in a class two. Today's drop in class and trip gives him a great chance of landing a first win over the larger obstacles.

15:30 Mjallby AIF v Djurgarden
Mjallby AIF
Mjallby are the current league leaders, having won all of the last five games, and are the highest scorers so far this season. With home advantage, they look a value bet at odds against to take another three points against Djurgarden, who have won only two of their last five.
15:00 Kilmarnock v Dundee Utd
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
Kilmarnock have only failed to score in one game so far this season, while visitors Dundee United have scored in all six games in all competitions. This should be an open and entertaining game with plenty of chances at both ends, making BTTS a decent bet at 4/6.

Winner over today's course and distance three weeks ago and three pounds better off with the runner up that day here. Looks a worthy favourite again today in this small field.
14:00 Orebro SK v Orgryte IS
Orgryte IS
OIS are currently in second place in the table and are the highest scorers in the league so far this season. At 5/6, they look a value bet to take the three points at Orebro, who are bottom of the table and still winless after eighteen games.
13:00 Vejle v Midtjylland

Midtjylland are unbeaten after four games, scoring an impressive twelve goals along the way. They look a decent bet at 4/5 to take the three points here at Vejle, who have lost two of their four games, scoring only six goals.
11:00 Gimcheon Sangmu FC v FC Seoul
Draw
Gimcheon have drawn two of the last three games, and another stalemate looks like a good bet against Seoul, who are just one place below the hosts and have already drawn ten times in their twenty-five games so far this season.

Previous winner over today's course and distance and stayed on well to take the spoils in the Lennox at the recent Glorious Goodwood meeting.

Only beaten by a short head over today's course and distance under today's jockey back in June. Only three lengths back here last time out too when finishing sixth behind a couple of today's rivals. Weighted to reverse that form and looks a value bet for each-way purposes from a favorable draw (seven of the last ten winners had double-figure draws) and with many bookies paying out on extra places.

Runner-up on penultimate outing before a decent effort when finishing four lengths behind the winner in a Group Three at Goodwood last time out. Ground conditions look ideal, and a similar effort would see the selection involved at the finish again at a double-figure price.

Winner on penultimate start before finishing three-quarters of a length back in third in a class three at Chepstow last time out. Ground conditions look ideal and looks a big player here, dropping back down in class and with a decent claimer taking off a handy seven pounds.

Won with plenty in hand over a mile and a half in a handicap at Ascot last time out. Drew well clear from the rest of the field that day and wasn't stopping at the line. Jumps up in trip and class here today but looks a worthy favourite representing the in-form Ralph Beckett team.

Anderlecht
Anderlecht have won both of their games so far this season, scoring an impressive seven goals. With home advantage, they should make it three wins in a row against Zulte Waregem, who have taken just one point from their two games.
13:30 Ajax v Telstar
Ajax
Ajax finished runners-up last season. With home advantage today, they can get their season off to a winning start against visitors Telstar, who were promoted to the top flight via the playoffs last term.
11:00 Kashiwa Reysol v Shonan Bellmare
Kashiwa Reysol
Kashiwa Reysol are currently in third place and have lost just once in the last five. With home advantage, they should prove too strong for their visitors, Shonan Bellmare, who are down in seventeenth place and are without a win in their last five games.
11:00 Machida Zelvia v Vissel Kobe

Both Teams to Score
The two most in-form teams meet here, with hosts Machida Zelvia looking for a sixth straight win and visitors Vissel Kobe unbeaten in their last five, winning four of them. They have shared sixty-eight goals between them so far this season, and there should be chances at both ends today, making BTTS a decent bet at evens.

15:00 Altrincham v Aldershot
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
These two teams shared almost one hundred and forty goals between them last season but conceded more along the way, with visitors Aldershot shipping eighty-three. Both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings, and at 4/7, it looks like a value bet to go in again.
15:00 Ayr v Raith
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
These two teams have shared twenty-nine goals between them in five games each in all competitions so far this season. This is likely to be an open and entertaining game with plenty of chances at both ends, making BTTS a decent bet at a shade of odds on.

Both of these teams won on the opening weekend of the league season, scoring seven goals between them. This should be an open and entertaining game with chances at both ends, making BTTS a decent bet at 17/20.

Both of these teams have drawn seven of their seventeen games so far this season. Separated by just three points, both have scored twenty-eight times in those games. With so little to choose between them, another stalemate looks a decent bet at 27/10.
