The BoomBanker’s 20-odds Home Wins picks for last weekend was only binned by the ‘unfortunate’ duo of Manchester United and Marseille who were both held to heartbreaking goalless and 2-2 draws by Southampton and Strasbourg respectively. On the back of the painful Cut-2, the Boom Banker returns this weekend with a sweet 18 odds Home Wins ACCA.
With the avalanche of games to choose from, the Boom Banker’s well researched Home Wins selections for this exciting weekend of football action are largely drawn from both the top and lower leagues across Europe.
Let’s play along!
BORUSSIA DORTMUND VS FC COLOGNE
An exciting draw in the Revierderby last time out wasn’t the ideal for Borussia Dortmund in their pursuit of the title and with that coming after being eliminated from the Champions League, Edin Terzic’s men are in need of an immediate resurgence.
Dortmund began the year with ten straight competitive wins and that’s the sort of form they must get back to if they’re to oust Bayern from top spot. Luckily for them, they welcome a Cologne side yet to win away from home in 2023, perhaps just the tonic for a bounce back to form.
Dortmund have some influential players coming back from injury ahead of this game including the likes of club legend Marco Reus. Should they feature, they’ll boost Dortmund’s chances of bolstering their rock-solid record against the Billy Goats across the last 22 home H2H encounters (W17, D4, L1).
Cologne haven’t even managed to score in any of their last four league games, a worrying slide indeed for a side that could yet be dragged into a relegation dogfight should they not pick up soon. They at least hold a relatively big cushion for the time being though, so defeat here wouldn’t be fatal.
This is unlikely to be anything other than a home win for Dortmund at 1.46 odds on BestBet360.
ARSENAL VS CRYSTAL PALACE
Crystal Palace made the surprise move to sack Patrick Vieira on Friday and their first fixture following the Frenchman’s departure couldn’t be more difficult, as they head to Vieira’s former club and current league leaders Arsenal.
The Eagles sit 12th on the table but are just three points clear of danger and they have been in woeful form. They have not won a match in 2023, and suffered a third successive defeat as they were beaten 1-0 by Brighton in the Premier League on Wednesday.
Arsenal may be a little deflated after their Europa League campaign came to an end but the Premier League is their priority and it is still hard to see them dropping points against the Eagles.
The Gunners have won their last five league games and have scored at least three goals in four of those,
Arsenal to win at 1.26 odds on BestBet360 comes handy.
PSG VS STADE RENNES
PSG went through a rocky period in the middle of this season, winning just three of their seven league games between the 1st of January and the 11th of February, and have since been knocked out of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, but a home game against Rennes on Sunday gives them an opportunity to earn their fifth league win in a row.
Les Parisiens have won four league games in a row since their loss to Monaco, scoring 13 goals in that time, and will look to keep up the goalscoring form this weekend. As good as they have been going forward, PSG have looked shaky in defence, with six goals conceded in those four games, including conceding three to Lille in a 4-3 victory, and two to Nantes in a 4-2 win.
Rennes came into the new year with just three losses on their record, but have lost five of their eleven league games since the turn of the year, and are now at risk of dropping out of the European qualification places, with Lille poised to take advantage.
Backing PSG to secure a comfortable home win at 1.48 odds on BestBet360.
LENS VS ANGERS
After rolling over Clermont 4-0, Lens will look to stay in the Champions League berth when they welcome Angers to their Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Saturday evening.
Les Sang et Or impressed in their last league match, and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Angers. Belgium forward Lois Openda should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a hat-trick at the weekend, whereas all Jean Louis Leca, Facundo Medina, Wesley Said, Steven Fortes, and Adam Buksa remain in the recovery room.
Les Scoistes, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only 10 points on their account and given their four-match losing run in the French top flight, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the game. All Ilyes Chetti, Faouzi Ghoulam, Ali Kalla, and Ulrick Eneme-Ella should miss out with injuries for the visiting side
Lens to secure a routine home win comes at 1.24 odds on BestBet360.
BENFICA VS VITORIA GUIMARAES
High-flying Benfica continue their charge for a record-extending 38th Primeira Liga title as they lock horns with Vitoria de Guimaraes at the Estadio da Luz on Saturday.
Having failed to win any of the last 20 meetings between the sides, Os Vimaranenses will be desperate to get one over the hosts and make it back-to-back away wins in the league for the first time this season.
With just 10 games to go before the 2022-23 campaign shuts close, confidence is brewing in the Benfica camp as they look increasingly likely to end their four-year quest for the Primeira Liga crown.
The 37-time Portuguese champions made it six wins on the bounce last Sunday as they steamrolled Maritimo 3-0 when the sides squared off at the Estadio do Maritimo.
Benfica, who have won eight consecutive league matches since January’s 2-2 draw against league rivals Sporting Lisbon, currently sit at the summit of the Primeira Liga table with an eight-point cushion over second-placed Porto.
Vitoria de Guimaraes, on the other hand, were sent crashing back to earth in the Primeira Liga as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Arouca when the sides met last Saturday.
Benfica to prevail at 1.21 odds on BestBet360.
