A 3rd v 4th clash: Inter 25, Como 23 points. Inter have won all five home league games and scored 17, but conceded in four (5-3 v Udinese, 3-2 v Napoli, 2-1 v Fiorentina). Eight of their ten league games had 3+ goals. Como have scored in 5 of 6 away league games (3-1 at Torino, 3-1 at Fiorentina, 4-1 at Genoa) and beat Lens 9-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday.

7 NovGalatasaray – AmedBoth teams to score & over 2.5 goals1.694-3Won

Amed are the surprise of the season: 7 wins, 25 goals and goals in 9 of 10 league games. They scored in 3 of 4 away games and conceded in all of them (2-2 at Kasımpaşa, 2-2 at Gençlerbirliği, 1-2 at Samsunspor). Galatasaray have scored in all 7 home games and conceded in 5 (2-2 v Çorum, 3-2 v Göztepe, 2-1 v Fenerbahçe). Galatasaray played Stuttgart on Tuesday; Amed have had a week's rest.

7 NovMainz – Bayern MunichBoth teams to score & over 2.5 goals1.501-2Won

Mainz have scored in 7 of 8 league games; at home they scored and conceded in 3 of 4 (3-4 v Leverkusen, 2-3 v Bremen). Their defence is struggling: 11 goals conceded in the last four. Bayern have seen both teams score in 10 of 14 games this season, conceded in 5 of 7 away games (2-2 at Augsburg, 3-3 at Viking, 1-3 at Freiburg), and 12 of 14 games had 3+ goals. Bayern played in Madrid on Tuesday and may rotate.

3 NovBarcelona – Aston VillaBoth teams to score & over 2.5 goals1.463-0Lost

Barcelona have scored 57 goals in 14 games this season, 29 of them in seven home games, yet they conceded in five of those. They have also conceded in all three European games (5-1 vs Feyenoord, 4-1 at Galatasaray, 2-4 at PSG). Aston Villa have won all three Champions League games and scored in each: 3-2 at Club Brugge, 6-0 vs Fenerbahçe and 3-1 vs Viking.

Barça: 57 goals in 14 gamesBarça conceded in all 3 UCL gamesVilla: 3/3 in the UCL, scoring every time

3 NovGalatasaray – StuttgartBoth teams to score & over 2.5 goals1.482-0Lost

Galatasaray have won their last four, and each of their three Champions League games produced at least four goals (1-3 at Sporting, 1-4 at home to Barcelona, 4-2 at Lille). They have scored in all six home games this season and conceded in five. Stuttgart are in form too: they won 4-2 at Leverkusen on Saturday and have scored in seven of their eight away games. Stuttgart are without midfield playmaker Angelo Stiller, Leo Sauer and Josha Vagnoman.

Galatasaray: four straight wins4+ goals in all 3 of GS's UCL gamesStuttgart scored in 7 of 8 away games

31 OctBayern Munich – Borussia DortmundBayern to win & over 2.5 goals1.432-2Lost

Der Klassiker is also a top-of-the-table game: both sides are unbeaten on 17 points after seven matches. Bayern have scored 31 in six home games this season (18-2 in three league home games) and 20 in their last five; newly crowned Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane leads the line. Dortmund have conceded only four league goals, yet they let in seven in their last three meetings with Bayern and lost all three (2-1, 3-2, 2-1, each with at least three goals). Bayern are without Musiala, Luis Díaz and Neuer.

Top of the table: both on 17 pointsBayern: 31 goals in 6 home gamesLast 3 Klassiker: 2-1, 3-2, 2-1

31 OctManchester City – BrightonMan City to win1.500-1Lost

Leaders City (21 points) are four from four at home in the league, and Haaland tops the scoring chart with nine. The sides met in the League Cup on Wednesday: a rotated City without Haaland drew 2-2 and went through on penalties; the first-choice side returns here. Brighton play their fourth away game in ten days, without Ferguson and Tzimas, with Mitoma doubtful. Away at big sides this season they lost both times (4-3 at Chelsea, 2-0 at Liverpool). Risk: Brighton are unbeaten in 90 minutes in the last five meetings.

City: 4 from 4 at home in the leagueHaaland tops the scoring chart (9)Brighton's 4th away game in 10 days

26 OctGalatasaray – FenerbahçeGalatasaray to win1.882-1Won

The derby is at RAMS Park. Galatasaray are unbeaten in 39 home league games (31W 8D) and won the last derby there 3-0. This is the match where the Osimhen difference shows; Fenerbahçe are without the injured Asensio and Aké. Fenerbahçe lost 6-0 at Aston Villa and drew 2-2 at home to Slavia Prague in the Champions League; I think it's time for İsmail Kartal to go. The simulation (market) gives Galatasaray 47%; I rate it higher. Risk: Galatasaray are without Leão, and Fenerbahçe have conceded only 6 in 8 league games.

GS unbeaten in 39 home league gamesLast derby at RAMS Park: GS 3-0FB without Asensio and Aké

25 OctBarcelona – Real MadridBarcelona to win1.511-2Lost

El Clásico at Camp Nou. Barça are nine from nine in the league (27 points, 39 scored, 9 conceded): dominant, consistent football that pins opponents in their own half. I'm not convinced by Mourinho's Real: good wins, but they still lock up in some games (lost 2-1 at Atlético, edged Villarreal only 1-0). Vinícius is suspended; Rodrygo, Mendy and Asencio are injured. Barça have won six of the last seven Clásicos, and a Real defeat would open a nine-point gap. Risk: Barça are without Christensen and Eric García, Koundé is doubtful, and they conceded four at PSG on Tuesday.

Odds

Risk

High

A high-odds shot. Napoli are struggling: five defeats in their last nine games, no points from two Champions League matches (0-1 at home to Arsenal, 3-1 at Villarreal), and a 1-0 loss at Venezia at the weekend. Neres, Buongiorno and Vergara are injured. Bodø have won four of their last five, including 1-0 against Dortmund last week, and five of their last seven away games. The risk: Napoli's results are worse than their play; they out-created Como, Villarreal and Venezia (higher xG) and still lost. And Bodø are weaker away: they lost 5-0 at Bayern.

Odds

Risk

High

One step beyond the main pick: 5 or more goals. Three of Barça's last five games had 5+ goals (7-2, 1-4, 2-5), and PSG's trip to City ended 2-4. Four of the last ten meetings between the two had 5+ as well. The odds are higher because the risk is too: a four-goal score like 3-1 or 4-0 loses it.

Confidence: how strongly I believe the pick will land, as a percentage. It is always above the probability the odds imply (odds of 1.50 ≈ 67%); if I don't believe more than that, I don't take the pick. Confidence figures were updated to this rule on 18 October, older picks included.

How I work

I never say "sure bet", because no match is certain. But finding the right match at the right price is possible; that's what I call value.

I watch

I follow teams, coaches and squads week by week. If I can't read how a team plays, I stay out.

I check the data

Form, goal profile, absences, fatigue. AI helps me scan fast; the call is mine.

I share what I trust

No read, no pick. Every pick is posted before kick-off, with the reasoning.

Confidence

Next to every pick I write how strongly I believe it will land, as a percentage. If that number isn't higher than the probability the odds imply, I stay out; that gap is what I call value.
