Another weekend is upon us and there is little time left until the end of the football seasons in most countries. Less than two months until the start of the Euros and then club football will be scarce. The proposed odds were valid at the time the suggestions were made.
Nice – Lorient – Nice to Win @ 1.52 at 22Bet
The team from the French Riviera had a fantastic season until the beginning of February. Since then, it’s as if different players have donned the Nice jersey, and in 9 league matches, they’ve only won once. True, that victory came away at Lens, the current runners-up, but what does it matter when they’ve lost to Nantes, Montpellier, Toulouse, and Lyon. They are currently in 5th place, a position that brings participation in the Europa League, but they can try to reach fourth place and thus play in the Champions League qualifiers. All this provided they start to perform at least nearly as well as in the second half of 2023. Lorient, a team currently in 16th place—the relegation playoff spot—is coming to Nice. They have the same number of points as Metz, who are below them, but Lorient has a game in hand. In the last four rounds, Lorient has only taken one point, but it must be said they had a tough schedule. There’s no doubt that Nice is the better team, but it will be hard to secure a victory.
Still, a win is imperative, and at 22Bet, the odds for Nice to Win are set at 1.52.
Eintracht – Augsburg – Both Teams To Score + Total Over 2.5 @ 1.90 at 22Bet
In Frankfurt, a direct battle for European qualification is taking place. Eintracht is currently in 6th position, the last one leading to the Conference League, but their closest follower, Augsburg, is only three points behind. This gap could be closed by the Bavarian team in a direct duel at the Commerzbank Arena, thus doing a favor for Freiburg, who have the same number of points as Augsburg. In the last round, Augsburg defeated Union Berlin at home while Eintracht lost in Stuttgart. Overall, the guests are in better form, with only one loss in their last seven matches, unlike the Eagles who have been winless for four rounds. In the first part of the season, Augsburg beat Eintracht 2-1 at home, and a similar result with goals on both sides is expected now.
For Both Teams To Score + Total Over 2.5 Goals, the odds are 1.90 at the 22Bet bookmaker.
Sturm Graz – Rapid Wien – Sturm to Win @ 1.87 at 22Bet
The team from Graz has reached the top position after the previous round. They have the same number of points as Salzburg, but the psychological pressure, now on the Bulls’ side, is an important factor. Salzburg lost in Linz, which Sturm took advantage of by winning in Hartberg and taking over the leadership position. There are six rounds left until the end of the championship, but Sturm also has an away game in Salzburg. They just defeated the Bulls in the semi-finals of the Austrian Cup and secured their place in the grand final, where they will play against Rapid on May 1st. The team from Vienna is coming to Graz now. For Rapid, the most important thing is to win the cup, which would automatically qualify them for the Europa League, for which they are competing with LASK in the Bundesliga. The team from Linz has two more points, as Rapid failed to win against Austria Klagenfurt at home in the last round. In two head-to-head matches during the regular part of the season, Rapid and Sturm drew both times with a score of 1:1. Now, a draw would not be satisfactory for either side, and we expect a victory for Sturm, who surely enjoys being at the top of the table.
At 22Bet, the odds for Sturm to win are 1.87.
Roda JC Kerkrade – De Graafschap – Roda to Win @ 1.77 at 22Bet
Only four rounds remain until the end of the championship in the Dutch Eerste Divisie, and four teams are battling for direct promotion to the elite. The best chances still lie with Willem, who leads with 73 points, Roda has 70, and Groningen has 67. Dordrecht is also in the mix with 63 points, but we believe this team does not yet aspire to join the likes of PSV, Feyenoord, Ajax, and others. Roda is on a streak of five wins and ten matches without a defeat. For the rest of the season, they will play against Jong Ajax, Cambuur, and, in the final round, travel to Groningen. It seems likely that this match will decide the second promotion spot, unless Willem falters in the last four matches. De Graafschap, a team currently in 6th place and sure to play in the playoffs, is coming to Kerkrade. It’s up to them to time their form for the playoffs and attempt to be the third team to move from the second division to the first. De Graafschap has three losses and two wins in their last five matches, and they have won only once in their last five away games. Roda has more motivation, and we believe they will continue their winning streak.
At 22Bet, the odds for Roda to Win are 1.77.
