Macarthur and Cong An Ha Noi are two sides that love open attacking football. Macarthur’s home games in the A-League often start with high tempo and plenty of space at the back, while Cong An Ha Noi play with fast counterattacks and pressing that create early chances. Both teams have strong offensive lines but questionable defensive transitions, especially in the opening 30 minutes.

Recent matches from both show early goals and open play — Macarthur’s last few home fixtures saw goals inside the first 20 minutes, while Cong An Ha Noi’s away form also brings quick first-half scoring. With both teams pushing forward, over 1.5 goals in the first half looks very realistic.

 Tip: Over 1.5 goals first half
 Expect attacking start and open game from both sides.

Benfica U19 and Bayer Leverkusen U19 face off in what promises to be a thrilling UEFA Youth League clash. Both sides are known for attacking football — Benfica’s youth setup plays fast, pressing football with dangerous wingers and plenty of goal threats, while Leverkusen’s U19 team often focuses on vertical transitions and creative midfielders who love to push forward.

Benfica U19 have seen several high-scoring games recently, especially at home, where they regularly score three or more. Leverkusen U19 also tend to be open at the back but dangerous in attack, which makes their matches ideal for goal-heavy bets.

Both sides prefer playing on the front foot rather than defending deep, and with the technical quality on both ends, this game could open up early.

 Prediction: Over 4.5 goals

This could easily turn into an end-to-end contest with several scoring chances for both teams.

Match Preview: Nacional Potosí vs Blooming – Focus on Over 1.5 First Half Goals

Nacional Potosí are usually strong at home, playing with high intensity from the start. They tend to score early when playing in Potosí, taking advantage of the altitude and fast tempo. Blooming, on the other hand, often struggle defensively away from home, especially in the opening half, where they have conceded in most of their recent away fixtures.

In head-to-head meetings, these teams have produced open matches on several occasions, with both sides contributing to first-half goals. However, consistency is an issue — some recent encounters have ended scoreless at halftime.

Statistically, Blooming’s away games show more goals before halftime compared to their home matches, while Nacional Potosí have had mixed first-half outcomes but generally find the net early at home. The combination suggests potential for attacking play in the opening 45 minutes.

Still, both teams’ recent form indicates caution: Nacional’s last few matches have seen fewer than 1.5 goals before halftime, and Blooming’s attack can fade in difficult away conditions.

Famalicao U23 and Leixoes U23 come into this Liga Revelação match with both teams known for open, attacking football. Matches between these sides often produce plenty of goalmouth action and few dull moments. Famalicao U23, playing at home, usually try to control the tempo with quick passing through midfield and wide play that stretches the opponent’s defense. They have scored early in several recent games but also tend to leave gaps at the back, which makes them vulnerable to fast counterattacks.

Leixoes U23, on the other hand, rarely sit deep. They like to press high and play with energy, but their defense can be inconsistent, especially away from home. This often leads to end-to-end play and early goals. Their recent fixtures have seen both teams scoring before halftime, and the team tends to respond quickly after conceding.

The head-to-head record supports the idea of a high-scoring game — most recent meetings between Famalicao U23 and Leixoes U23 have produced multiple goals, often starting from the first 20 minutes. Both teams have creative players in attack, and neither side is likely to settle for a slow, cautious approach.

With both sides showing defensive weaknesses but strong offensive intent, this looks set to be a match where early goals are likely. A fast first half with chances at both ends is expected, as both teams push forward rather than sit back.

This clash brings two of the most attacking youth sides in Czech football. Sigma U19 are always strong at home, pushing high from the start and often scoring early. Sparta’s youngsters also play with intensity, creating open games and fast transitions.

Both sides have shown first-half goal action in recent matches, with Sigma’s last four home games producing over 1.5 before the break. Sparta’s away games usually explode early too, as they rarely sit back.

Expect end-to-end football, plenty of chances, and both teams likely to find the net early.

Prediction: Over 1.5 goals 1st half & Both teams to score 1st half 

A huge clash in the battle for the Danish top-flight title takes place on Monday, when Midtjylland and AGF Aarhus go head to head. Only three points separate the two teams, with Midtjylland currently in second place and AGF Aarhus in first. Both sides have enjoyed a great run of form of late, but the bookies give Midtjylland a slight edge due to their home advantage and their recent performances against AGF Aarhus. Read our preview for betting tips, team news and more!

Midtjylland have not lost a match since the second week of September, when they were defeated 1-0 away to Nordsjælland. The Tigers have not lost any of their last ten matches, winning nine and drawing one.

They have won each of their last four Superliga encounters, scoring at least three goals each and also kept a clean sheet in the last three.

Having also won their last seven home games as well as the last four against AGF, head coach Mike Tullberg will be confident about his side chances of securing a much-needed win on Monday.

Ovie Ejeheri has missed the last 33 games due to surgery and will be unavailable against AGF, though the hosts have no other injury concerns or suspensions.

Meanwhile, AGF Aarhus are unbeaten in their last 13 games, picking up 11 wins and securing two draws in the process.

In their last fixture, Jakob Poulsen’s side hosted Sonderjyske in the fourth round of the Danish Cup, and were looking to secure a sixth consecutive home win.

Goals from Kristian Amundsen and Patrick Mortensen secured another win for the Whites, but they won’t be feeling too confident about their chances of winning against Midtjylland at the MCH Arena, where they have not won since 2022.

Jacob Andersen misses Monday’s game due to a cruciate ligament injury that will keep him out until at least the end of December. Kristian Arnstad will receive a one-match ban if he is booked against Midtjylland, but there are no suspended players.

Ilves will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 3-1 Veikkausliiga success vs HJK.

For Ilves, the goals were scored by Tatu Miettunen (22′), Maksim Stjopin (50′) and Matias Rale (65′). Liam Möller (5′) scored for HJK.

Ilves have been conceding pretty frequently lately, but they’ve also found ways to convert their own chances into goals. Analysis of their previous 6 games shows that Ilves have conceded in 6 of them in addition to managing to get on the scoresheet in 6 of those games.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Ilves:

• haven’t beaten SJK in their previous 3 league matches.
• are without a home win in the past 3 matches in the league.

In their last game, SJK drew 2-2 in the Veikkausliiga tie with FC Inter Turku.

For SJK, goals were scored by Olatoundji Tessilimi (43′) and Kevin Appiah Nyarko (83′). Florian Krebs (2′) and Joonas Kekarainen (45′) scored for FC Inter Turku.

SJK have been dangerous up front of late, scoring 14 times in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that SJK have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same clashes. Nonetheless, we must now wait to see if such a trend might be replicated in this next game or not.

Coming into this clash, SJK haven’t been defeated in their previous 3 league matches away from home.

 Head to head

Inspecting their past head-to-head meetings dating back to 19/04/2024 shows that Ilves have won 1 of these games & SJK 3, with the tally of drawn results standing at 2.

In all, 19 goals were scored between the two sides in these games, with 10 for Ipa and 9 netted by SJK. The average number of goals per game works out to 3.17.

The last league contest between these clubs was Veikkausliiga match day 4 on 04/10/2025 when it finished SJK 2-1 Ilves.

The match was refereed by Dennis Antamo.

Silkeborg host Brondby in what promises to be one of the most open games of the weekend in the Danish Superliga. The home side are in good rhythm after strong recent results, while Brondby continue to impress near the top with their high-scoring form.

Both teams have been involved in several goal-heavy matches lately, and their head-to-head record suggests another attacking contest. Expect tempo, intent, and chances from both ends.

Silkeborg’s Confidence Growing at Home

Silkeborg have put together a steady run, winning three of their last five league matches. They scored two or more in four of those, including a 3-1 win over Copenhagen and a 2-1 away victory at Vejle. Their attacking combinations are starting to click again, especially at home where they have beaten Odense, Nordsjaelland, and Copenhagen in recent months.

Defensively, they remain vulnerable when pressed but compensate with sharp transitions. At home, the Reds have lost just once in five, showing they can respond well even after setbacks. Sitting in mid-table, they look capable of turning consistency into a stronger push up the standings.

Brondby Carrying Strong Away Momentum

Brondby travel in good form, having scored 12 goals across their last four matches. Away from home, they have won three of the last five, including a 4-1 victory at Odense and a clean 2-0 at Fredericia. Their ability to score early and control possession away from home has been a key factor in their rise to the upper half of the table.

However, their defense has shown cracks, conceding three at home to Aarhus and two at Sonderjyske earlier in the campaign. They thrive in open matches but sometimes leave too much space behind the back line. Even so, their attack remains one of the most productive in the league.

Smart Insights by LeagueLane®

• Silkeborg scored 11 goals in their last five league matches.
• Brondby netted 12 across the same stretch.
• Each of the last five H2H meetings featured at least three goals.
• Both teams scored in six straight competitive encounters between these sides.

Silkeborg vs Brondby Prediction

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals stands out given the attacking form on both sides. Silkeborg’s confidence at home combined with Brondby’s strong away scoring trend suggests another game filled with goals. Their recent meetings back that up, with four of the last five ending in high scoring draws or narrow wins.

A repeat of their balanced contests looks likely. Silkeborg’s home energy should meet Brondby’s forward strength head-on, making a 2-2 result at full time a realistic call for this fixture.
