It’s been all too rare in recent times that Steaua Bucharest have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Steaua Bucharest have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 7 goals during that time.

Illustrating their appetite for action-packed encounters, we’ve had goals 23 times in the prior six games in which Rapid Bucharest have sent out their troops, making it a mean average of 3.83 goals per clash. Opposition teams have managed 14…
We would like to kick off our Albacete vs Mirandes predictions by backing the hosts to win.

A common trait of recent Estoril games is the number of nil scores. Taking their prior sextet of matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on “Both Teams to Score” would’ve lost. We shall soon find out if that trend will be continued on here. The stats don’t lie, and Marítimo have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 10 goals in total. At the back, Marítimo have some weaknesses to address.

We would like to kick-start our Burgos vs Lugo predictions by backing the hosts to take all the points. Although this match isn’t important to either team, it’s worth mentioning that Lugo have been the worst teams in the Segunda Division this season. Iñigo Velez’s men managed just five wins in 41 Segunda Division games; as a matter of fact, they are currently on a 20 match winless streak. On the other hand, Burgos have amassed almost twice as many points as Lugo this season; and considering they also have the advantage of playing at home, we are fairly confident…
