This weekend comes Sylvia’s 30 plus odds, even though I won’t be the first to re-emphasize the unnecessary nature of the international break. Unfortunately, FIFA continues to disagree with us and players seem to need it occasionally as some form of break. So here we go…again!

For the first time I’ll have African national teams in my selections on this blog. Big calls by the way.

Benin v Nigeria

Despite some pullouts from the squad, the Super Eagles of Nigeria have lots of players in very good form led by striker “Seniorman” Kelechi Iheanacho. So many good options available to prosecute this tie.

However, a lot hinges on coach Gernot Rohr’s chosen line up and formation. Will he field a side with three at the back to play to the strength of his most lethal player right now or will he continue to rely on his more familiar yet conservative faces to produce drab performances here and there?

The Beninoise are the toughest opposition Nigeria can face in their group. Both sides have won two of their four games played, apiece. While Nigeria is yet to record a loss, the hosts have lost one.

The hosts are not quite potent up front but just do enough to get the job done. They’ve also been very tight at the back, conceding just twice at an average of 0.67 in their last three games while Nigeria has let in 1.67 in that time with a total of seven goals conceded and ten scored in all four qualifying games so far.

If the Super Eagles win, they qualify with a game to spare. A loss could also make things quite complicated for them and no body wants those last minute permutations, certainly not the Super Eagles who play the home tie in a potentially hostile Lagos stadium.

Whatever the case may be, Sylvia’s 30 plus odds is confident of at least a point even if it’ll be a tough one to come by. Team Naija too strong and will get the job done with few goals involved

Tip: x2 & U2.5 @ 1.75 odds

Central Coast Mariners v Melbourne Victory

This weekend we make another rare trip to far away Australia.

The last trip was very successful so why not revisit?

This Saturday morning encounter puts the hosts very much in the advantage as they sit top of the table and 18 points ahead of their Saturday rivals who are having an uncharacteristically poor season at the bottom of the table.

The visitors, ironically, have a far more superior head-to-head, more than twice of having the better of the Mariners with 16W, 8D and 7L.

Melbourne have lost their last four games and Central Coast Mariners aren’t the best opposition to face to boost their confidence right now.

Mariners have scored in all their last five matches to boast a record of 1.33 goals in their last three matches while Melbourne have 0.67 during that time.

Very importantly, the hosts haven’t lost at home in their last four games while the visitors are yet to win in their last five on the road. Predictably poised.

Tip: 1 @ 1.63 odds

Score prediction: 2-0 @ 8.90 odds

Perth Glory v Newcastle Jets

Two teams next to each other in 10th and 11th out of 12 teams. Thankfully for both, it’s a league without relegation, so there really isn’t much pressure to battle, unfortunately for A-League fans.

Expect a drab game

The Jets have lost their last four games in a row while the hosts have a slightly better fortune on home turf having scored in all their last 4 home matches.

Both teams average a goal apiece in their last three games but I don’t necessarily fancy both sides hitting the back of the net as a result of that.

Perth Glory haven’t recorded a win in their last five games – 2D and 3L, the Jets have 1W and 4L. However, for Sylvia’s 30 plus odds, I fancy the hosts to claim something from this one

Tip: 1x @ 1.29 odds

Score prediction: 0-0 @ 16.29 odds

Blackpool v Plymouth 

The hosts are 18 points ahead of their Saturday opponents. Beyond that, they are in a far better run of form and are yet to lose their last 10 games against a visiting side that have lost four of their last five.

It’s the hosts game to lose.

Tip: 1 @ 1.78 odds

Bristol Rovers v Sunderland

Sunderland haven’t lost in 11 matches and have scored in their last five away matches with an average of 1.33 goals per game in their last three as opposed to 0.67 from the hosts.

Bristol haven’t won a match in their last four to reflect their poor run of form.

For Sylvia’s 30 plus odds, I tip Lee Johnson’s side to claim all three points in a typically hard League One game.

Tip: 2 @ 1.81 odds
