Football Saturday Early Picks: From Scotland to the Bundesliga 2 to League One
Football is on its way again and we obtain full action worlwide with a full array of divisions starting play this weekend.
Yesterday we landed a winner with Luton Town and Middlesbrough both scoring to bag the pick. Today, we are going to set a number of interesting picks that might result in a nice combination of results.
First, we head over to Scotland, where Celtic Glasgow will face off against St Johnstone. Celtic have been on form through their qualifiers and at home. They have not scored less than two goals against St Johnstone in their last five matches against each other and I expect that to be the case again.
Pick: Celtic Glasgow -1 @ 1.23
On our next encounter, we head to Germany for a Bundesliga 2 matchup between Hannover 96 and Jahn Regensburg. Hannover has just come down from a year in the Bundesliga, and have been defeated against a Stuttgart side that has always been difficult to deal with. Coming back home, I expect them to regain form, as they have faired well there during their last matches and that should carry on tonight.
Pick: Hannover 96 (Draw No Bet) @ 1.44
The English League One, has several nice matches to analyze this weekend. The first one we will look at is the AFC Wimbledon vs Rotherham United matchup. AFC Wimbledon are at home, and have lost 4 out of 5 friendlies at home in the past months, notching a little over 2 goals against per game.
On the other hand, Rotherham have scored two or more on their last four friendlies away from home, with one of their games coming with a seven goal win. I expect this to carry on onto the match.
Pick: Rotherham United over 0.5 goals @ 1.33
Lastly, keeping on the League One momentum, we take a look at Sunderland vs Oxford United. The Sunderland side will look to jump ahead on a winning day, but Oxford are a hard team to pass by. They have scored at least once in their last four out of five matches away from home, not being able to win any of those. Sunderland on the other hand, have given up one or more goals in three out of their last five home matches, dating back to last year’s season end.
Last year, both teams shared points in their home and away matches, notching one goal each in each of the two games. I expect them to go at it in full again this year and expect Oxford to score once at least.
Pick: Oxford United over 0.5 goals @ 1.61
If you combine these four picks, you get a nice odd of 3.82.
