From Galatasaray to Gdansk - this 4/1 acca spans four countries!
Galatasaray v Antalyaspor - Turkish Super Lig - 17:00
We shouldn’t have many problems with this first pick: Galatasaray to beat mid-table Antalyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig.
Galatasaray are unbeaten at home this season, and have won their last four on the spin. It’ll take a mammoth effort for the visitors – with four defeats from their last six – to leave The Türk Telekom Arena with anything, and I don’t believe they will.
Lechia Gdansk v Wisla Plock - Polish Ekstraklasa - 17:00
Kicking-off at the same time is Lechia Gdansk v Wisla Plock, where I’m backing the hosts to prevail.
Gdansk are somewhat surprisingly leading the Polish Ekstraklasa, and are bidding to win their first ever top-flight title. Plock, meanwhile, are second-bottom.
The guests have also lost six of their last nine, while Gdansk’s home record is excellent: nine wins, three draws and no defeats.
This should be routine.
Roma v Empoli - Serie A - 19:30
Roma dismissed Eusebio Di Francesco following their Champions League exit at the hands of Porto, but I’m still backing them to return to winning ways against Empoli in Serie A.
Despite their awful derby defeat against Lazio last time out, Roma have still won six of their last nine matches in the league – and seven of their last 10 at home – which gives me great confidence for this one landing.
Empoli sit just one place above the drop zone, and have just four points from their 12 away games. A home win looks likely.
Metz v Sochaux - Ligue 2 - 19:45
Finally, we dive into Ligue 2, where I’m expecting leaders Metz to make short work of third-bottom Sochaux.
It’s been a terrible season for Sochaux, and two points (and two goals) from their last eight away matches surely points towards an incredibly comfortable home win.
Metz, with five home wins from their last seven, will be licking their lips.
