The Boom Banker makes a return with 16 odds Home Wins ACCA on a weekend when the German Bundesliga becomes the last of Europe’s top leagues to return to league action after the 2022 FIFA World Cup break.
With the avalanche of games to choose from, the Boom Banker’s well researched Home Wins selections for this ‘exciting weekend of football actions’ are largely drawn from both the top and lower leagues across Europe.
Let’s play along!
EINTRACHT FRANKFURT vs SCHALKE
Eintracht Frankfurt find themselves in the top-four ahead of the restart after enjoying their best 15-game start to a German Bundesliga campaign since 1993/94, a season in which they finished fifth and achieved European qualification. Perhaps a game against Schalke is the perfect way to return to action in search of replicating that feat, as Frankfurt have more Bundesliga home wins against them than any other side (W27, D9, L11).
After sensationally winning the Europa League last season, Oliver Glasner continues to scale greater heights at Frankfurt, having taken them through to the knockout stages of the Champions League while maintaining a push to finish inside the Bundesliga’s top four positions.
Domestically, meanwhile, four wins from their last six games prior to the domestic season being paused for the World Cup in November saw Glasner’s side move ahead of Union Berlin into fourth spot on goal difference.
As such, the former Wolfsburg boss will be determined to see his players comfortably dispatch the worst team in the division on Saturday, which could see them climb as high as second in the table ahead of tricky fixtures against Freiburg and Bayern Munich within the coming week.
Despite allowing former Hoffenheim and Arminia Bielefeld boss Frank Kramer just 12 games in charge after replacing him with Thomas Reis in their managerial dugout in October, Schalke failed to see any tangible improvements as a result of the switch.
Reis lost three of his four league games prior to the World Cup, with his solitary win coming at home against Mainz 05 via Simon Terodde’s third league goal of the season, illustrating the 34-year-old’s struggles to convert his prolific strike rate from Germany’s second tier to the elite level.
This is unlikely to be anything other than a home win for Frankfurt at 1.38 odds on BestBet360.
ATLÉTICO MADRID vs REAL VALLADOLLID
It’s been a terrible run of form for Atlético Madrid, who’s 1-1 draw at Almeria last weekend means they have picked up just one win in their last six La Liga outings.
Diego Simeone’s side will fancy their chances of turning those recent results around though, especially back at the Wanda, where they hast been defeated just twice in their last 1o outings in all competitions.
Indeed, Atleti’s three defeats there in the league this season have all come to teams in the top five, with their victories all over clubs currently in the bottom half.
Something else that will give Atletico fans hope it’s their stunning record when facing Real Valladolid, who have lost 11 of the last 12 meetings between the two teams.
Pacheta’s side have failed to even score in their last four trips to the Wanda, while they are currently on a run of four successive defeats, against without netting.
That form means they’ve slumped to just above the relegation zone, while only one side, Almeria, has scored fewer than their total of five away La Liga goals this season.
Atléti to secure a routine home win comes at 1.38 odds on BestBet360.
INTER vs EMPOLI
Inter will look to stay in the Scudetto race when they face Empoli in the Serie A round 19.
The Nerazzurri recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Verona at the weekend, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to melt Napoli’s advantage in the standings. The likes of Brozovic, Handanovic, and Lukaku should miss out with injuries for the home side, while important midfielder Nicolo Barella is widely expected to return to the starting XI after overcoming his injury.
Meanwhile, the Azzurri recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sampdoria thanks to Tyronne Ebuehi’s goal.
Empoli, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and do not look like a team capable of spoiling Inter’s party at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. You should know that Inter defeated Empoli in each of their last eight meetings at the venue, speaking of the Serie A encounters
Inter to win at 1.29 odds on BestBet360 comes handy.
PSV vs VITESSE
Dutch Eredivise title-chasing PSV Eindhoven host Vitesse at the Philips Stadion on Saturday evening.
The two sides have endured differing starts to league action following the World Cup break, with Vitesse yet to win, while the hosts are unbeaten since returning from the month-long hiatus.
PSV Eindhoven looked to have done enough when they came from behind against 10-man Fortuna Sittard, with goals from Xavi Simons and Ibrahim Sangare, but they were punished for missing a hatful of chances when Burak Yilmaz equalised from the penalty spot in the 99th minute.
That result leaves Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side in fourth place, five points adrift of league leaders Feyenoord, and Yilmaz’s late strike, and his fifth goal of the Eredivisie campaign, means that PSV have now drawn back-to-back games in the league since returning from the World Cup break.
After an impressive 2021-22 season, finishing sixth in the Eredivisie, Vitesse have fallen off considerably so far this term, picking up just 15 points from their 16 matches up to this point, leaving them in 14th place.
Geel en Zwart’s defence has been their primary issue, having conceded 31 goals, the fourth-worst defensive record in the Eredivisie, behind Groningen, SBV Excelsior and FC Volendam.
Backing PSV to secure a comfortable home win at 1.28 odds on BestBet360.
