Here comes Sylvia’s Sweet Odds Selections on another weekend of league football and with European football now in the mix, it’s fair to say the season has started proper. The games are coming thick and fast, expect this to have an impact on weekend performances and results for teams – positively and negatively.

Koln v RB Leipzig
Sylvia Sweet Odds Selections begins in Germany where the visitors suffered a 6-3 battering at the hands of Manchester City in the Champions League in midweek
The fact they were able to even score three is an indictment on City being that the German side have had a very underwhelming season so far. They are currently in the bottom half of their league table and have lost three of their four league matches so far.
What will be the psychological impact of their Champions League loss? The performance against Koln will tell. However, with it being an away trip and against a Koln side currently in the mix of European places, if I have to, I’ll tip the home side to do justice to this.
Leipzig have also failed to defeat this side in their last two meetings – one loss and one draw.
Both teams are also basket cases and have conceded equal number of goals (6). I fancy both teams to find the back of the net.
Tip: 1x & GG @ 1.81 odds
Mainz v Freiburg
It’s fourth against fifth. Expect a tough game between two sides that are just efficient and don’t give away too many goals at two and four, respectively.
In terms of head to head stats, the home side have the advantage with 11W, 6D and 7L. Their last loss against Freiburg came before the covid pandemic. That now feels like a long time ago. Lol.
Despite the little difference between the sides, I don’t see a draw coming out of this one. Hence, I’ll stick my neck out for either side to win.
Tip: 12 @ 1.28 odds
Bayern Munich v Bochum
This is almost a given victory for the hosts of not that the rules stipulate that the game has to be played. Despite the fact that Bochum caused an upset in my predictions weeks ago when they went on to inflict Mainz’s only defeat of the season. Bayern is a different fish entirely.
Off the back of the 3-0 demolishing of Barcelona at the Camp Nou, they in the mood. Sorry for the visitors. The question now is, by how many goals will the lose?
I say, a significant number but I’ll still be cautious.
Tip: Home – FH O1.5 @ 1.80 odds
Genoa v Fiorentina
These sides have met 22 times in the past and more than half of those games (13) have ended in draws.
However, the visitors have the advantage with 7 wins from the remaining nine matches. That’s good enough for me to tip the game in their favour.
So far this season, Fiorentina have also won a game more than the hosts who currently sit 13th and five places behind. Both games between them last season ended in 1-1 draws but I don’t see a repeat of that on Saturday and Sylvia’s Sweet Odds Selections says expect a low scoring game.
Tip: 2 @ 2.24 odds
Ajax v Cambuur
The last time these two met in 2016, the newcomers claimed a 2-1 victory. They also claimed a 1-1 draw sometime in 2014, the remaining five fixtures ended in Ajax victories.
What’s almost guaranteed here is that Ajax will win this especially on him turf, motivated by the fact that they are already two points behind PSV in the league table after just four matches. A slip could be costly.
Their 5-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League now means that they’ve scored five goals apiece in three of their last five matches.
Most of their goals also tend to come in the first half of the game. Although I expect some key players from the Sporting game to be rested, I’ll put the money on the timing of their goals.
Tip: Home – FH O1.5 @ 1.99 odds
FC Utrecht v RKC Waalwijk
This selection is basically an odd booster.
Tip: 1 @ 1.35 odds
Lens v Lille
Lille seem to have slumped after their title winning brilliance of last season. In five games so far this season, they’ve recorded a single victory and two draws. Lens on the other hand have had better fortune with 2W and 3D. They are yet to lose a game.
However, Lens have NEVER won against this opposition. In fact, they didn’t score in their last two meetings: 3-0 and 4-0 losses.
I can’t think of a better time for Lens to claim their first victory against Lille.
Tip: 1 @ 2.58 odds

Hellas Verona v AS Roma
Jose Mourinho has taken AS Roma to the top of the Serie A after recording his first ever fifth consecutive league victory in a new club.
A less performing Roma side in the past managed 8W, 3D and 1L against this side. An away win is more guaranteed than anything else.
Jose Mourinho’s Roma also tend to have a slow start in games. Most of their goals have come in the second half.
Tip: SH O1.5 @ 1.82 odds
Juventus v AC Milan
On paper this should be a Juventus victory. But without Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus have continued to falter and are currently two places and above relegation spots after three games – they’ve drawn one and lost two.
Milan on the other hand are cruising in second place and are tied on perfect points (9) with leaders Roma. They have also let in the fewest number of goals this season (1). Their performance against Liverpool in the champions league also showed why they are where they are.
Sylvia’s Sweet Odds Selections fancies them to claim at least one point against a demoralized Old Lady.
Tip: x2 @ 1.70 odds
West Ham v Manchester United
If I had a lifeline to stake in a single premier league game, I’ll stake on the one that involves Cristiano Ronaldo especially after the midweek of loss his side already had.
Ronaldo will push his team’s mentality to ensure they follow that disappointment with a victory at West Ham. I fancy him even scoring for a third consecutive game for the Red Devils.
Tip: 2 @ 1.81 odds
Tottenham v Chelsea
Tough London derby coming up. Spurs are stumbling this season but whenever they come up against Chelsea. It’s a London derby and arguably the biggest London derby these days, that means, anything can happen and the dead can rise again. Lol.
Spurs may or may not be with the explosive Heung-Min Son as he is currently doubtful due to injury.
Chelsea have conceded just once so far and have won all but one of their games so far – a draw against Liverpool. However, with the exception of an efficient striker in Lukaku who has been the difference between a frustrating draw and a win, the Blues have continued to lack in creativity and will be hoping the likes of Havertz, Mount, Ziyech and Pulisic do better if they get minutes on the pitch.
Chelsea haven’t lost to Spurs since that 1-0 victory in January 2019.
I’ll be a little bit cautious on this one and go with goals to be scored.
Tip: O1.5 @ 1.28 odds
