Odds are fine for taking the over 2.5 goals bet in this one given the fact that both teams are quite weak in defense lately but at the same time scoring plenty of goals with Swindon being involved in the fight for the top 3 places that meaning direct promotion to the 3rd league level at the end of the normal season, their last visit here last season ended with them losing the game with 2-1 in the end while earlier this season at home hosting Carlisle they won the game with 3-2 so high scoring games usually between them.

I will take this -2 AH on the hosts because they had a really good season last season and played in continental competitions thanks to those performances last term but already exited that competition, now their full focus is on the league where after 8 games played they are 5-0-3, and even though they lost 2-1 to San Jose lately in the league they were strong enough to defeat strong Millionarios side from Colombia with 1-0 at home recently plus they have a very good record at home against Petrolero.

Lazio will host Juventus for this fixture of the league. Both sides are one of the ambitious teams in this season. Of course, Juventus is the best team in this league. They are undefeated in this campaign. True, the visitors lost important points. In last game Juventus played in a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo. Also, we have Lazio who's is also strong team in this season. Lazio are in solid shape. They have five consecutive victories. No doubt, the hosts will try to make a positive result. However, this will not be an easy task. So, the visitors lost points on the previous match and do not wish to make the same mistake this time as well. I think, Juventus will closer to victory.

Bundesliga 2. Team Karlsruher SC will play with team Nurnberg. Both clubs are neighbors in the table. Both teams are in the dangerous zone. Karlsruher won last their match with result 2 -0.

First they said they would release him and we would have to pay his salary, then suddenly they said: 'No, you have to pay for the transfer'.

On Wilfried Zaha: "I thought he did excellently well, and I'm certain I'm not speaking out of turn here, but the yellow card and foul against him was obviously wrong.
