The Boom Banker’s 19 odds Home Wins picks for last weekend was only binned by PSG who were held to a heartbreaking goalless draw at home by FC Lorient. On the back of the painful Cut-1, the Boom Banker returns this weekend with a sweet 20 odds Home Wins ACCA.
With the top European leagues now fully back in action for the 2023/24 season, 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!
LIVERPOOL VS BOURNEMOUTH
Liverpool are looking to get back to winning ways when they host Bournemouth in the English Premier League on Saturday.
Bournemouth will have harrowing memories of last season’s trip to Merseyside, where Liverpool ran riot in a 9-0 demolition.
The Cherries got their revenge on the south coast, winning 1-0, but they have lost on six of their seven previous trips to Anfield and are likely to be found wanting again.
Plenty has changed since that drubbing from the Reds and a takeover in December has allowed them to inject some much-needed quality into the squad.
A 1-1 draw with West Ham in their opening game is a respectable starting point under Iraola, but Liverpool are likely to pose a much sterner test at their Anfield fortress.
The Reds also drew their opening game 1-1 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where they were the better team in the first half but second best after the break.
However, Liverpool are a completely different proposition at their Merseyside home, where they lost only one of their 19 league games last season.
Leeds were the only team to upset Jurgen Klopp’s crew, whose list of victims included Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.
With Luis Diaz back fit and healthy, Liverpool’s forward options are at full strength with Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota also fighting for places.
That array of attacking talent spells trouble for Bournemouth and they are likely to spend much of the game on the back foot.
This is unlikely to be anything other than a home win for Liverpool at 1.25 odds on BestBet360.
BORUSSIA DORTMUND VS FC COLOGNE
Borussia Dortmund missed a gilt-edged opportunity to win last season’s Bundesliga title as they lost out on goal difference to Bayern, and bookmakers expect them to serve up the biggest challenge to the Bavarians this campaign too.
They must embark on the new journey without English ace Jude Bellingham, who has made a big-money switch to Real Madrid, but they should make a winning start to the 2023-24 campaign against Cologne.
Dortmund were a formidable force at Signal Iduna Park last season as they won 14 and drew two of their 17 home games.
Cologne will know all too well how dominant Dortmund were at home after they were hit for six on their trip there.
In fact, Dortmund racked up 55 goals in 17 home outings, scoring three or more in nine of their 14 wins, which ought to spell trouble for the visitors.
Cologne managed only four wins in 17 attempts on their travels, although both teams did score in 11 of those fixtures.
That at least offers them some hope of a consolation goal for Cologne, who also scored on last season’s trips to Bayern, Leipzig and Leverkusen.
Dortmund to win at 1.47 odds on BestBet360 comes handy.
BARCELONA VS CADIZ
Last weekend’s 0-0 draw with Getafe was a dire showing for Barca, who were out to fix their rotten La Liga form after tailing off in the aftermath of their title success at the end of last season.
The Catalans need to shape up in order to retain their crown, with Real Madrid already making a bright start. Sunday brings the champions up against a Cadiz side who are poor travellers, so Barca should hope for a comfortable win in their home away from home.
Cadiz have not won in any of their last five La Liga away matches and last season they averaged just 0.58 goals per game on the road. That poor attacking return doesn’t bode well for them on Sunday, as Barcelona have kept 16 clean sheets in their 24 league games in 2023.
Cadiz coach Sergio Gonzalez has lost 10 of the 11 La Liga games he has managed against Barca and another defeat looms. The hosts can transfer their stellar defensive record over to the Olympic Stadium as they start life away from the Camp Nou for the time being.
Backing Barcelona to secure a comfortable home win at 1.25 odds on BestBet360.
MOLDE VS VALERENGA
Molde welcome Valerenga to the Aker Stadion for an Norwegian Eliteserien clash on Saturday.
The hosts are coming off a 2-0 win over Klaksvik after extra time in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifier on Thursday.
Molde will turn their attention back to the domestic scene where their last game saw them held to a dramatic 2-2 draw at Sandefjord last weekend.
The stalemate left the Norwegian champions in fourth spot in the stndings, having garnered 33 points from 18 games. Valerenga, meanwhile, are second-from-bottom with 15 points to show for their efforts after 17 outings.
Molde’s title defence has not gone according to plan, as they find themselves eight points behind league leaders Bodo/Glimt. They will put more focus on their continental playoff tie against Galatasaray.
Valerenga, for their part, have immediate relegation fears to worry about, but their next task is gargantuan. Molde are almost invincible at the Aker Stadion, having won their last 10 games in front of their fans.
Molde to secure a routine home win comes at 1.36 odds on BestBet360.
BESIKTAS VS PENDIKSPOR
Besiktas had a great campaign in the Turkish Super Lig last season and they finished third on the table. They won three points in their first game of the season against Karagumruk. The are well prepared as they have played well in their Conference League fixtures as well.
At the same time, Pendikspor are a newly promoted team this season. In their first game, they lost to Hatayspor by conceding five goals. They lack the intensity and will require time to adapt.
This is going to be the first time both teams will play against each other. Besiktas are on a four-game winning streak in all competitions.
Besiktas have a 100% unbeaten record at Vodafone Park in all competitions this year. They have consistently performed well in Conference League fixtures and won their season opener against Karagumruk. At the same time, Pendikspor are currently at the bottom of the table as they lost to Hatayspor by 5-1 last time.
Besiktas to prevail at 1.36 odds on BestBet360.
