# Viking vs Strømsgodset o2.5 (-150) $750.00 to win $500.00
I like the over here simply because of this beeing a matchup between two of the few teams in this league that play soccer (Molde, RBK, Viking, Godset and Brann -- others play the "oldschool way" where they rely on long passes and corners/fk's while playing physical) with a solid passing game along with solid offensive players.
Godset have looked shaky in defense after feeling the pressure of leading the league as there have been a long time since last time they lifted the trophy and also the absent of their captain Aas (CD) have hurt them, resulting in 7 goals against in their last 4 vs mixed opponents and also 13 goals against in their last 6 road matches (4 of them went over the total) where they've had a history of struggling while beeing one of the best at home.
Viking 3 Godset 2
# Blackburn Win/St. Etienne +1.0 (+143) $1000.00 to win $1430.00
After 6 rounds, Blackburn is finding themself on the top of the league with an unbeaten 4-2-0 run, winning all 3 played at home.
Rhodes did as I expected manage to take the step up to ECH and have made an instant impact with 3 goals in 3 matches to go along with the previous star striker Gomez who got 4 himself and after a bad 2011/12 season, Gamst Pedersen have started to find back to his form from the time he was wantd by both Man Utd and Chelsea, giving Blackburn a dangerous attack.
Blackburn is also getting Givet back for this one after he missed their last match.
M'brough have started the season with mixed results where they've won all 3 at home, but lost all 3 on the road with an ugly 2-8 goal difference.
M'brough got no new injury news, but with the ugly road stats combind with the 1-4 thrashing they got in Blackpool during the weekend don't make me belive their get the first away pts of the season in this one.
Blackburn 3 M'brough
In the only Ligue 1 match of the day I would been betting St. Etienne just by looking at how the two teams have started the season, but I like them even more with Montpellier on short rest after a draining home match against Arsenal in CL.
St. Etiennes 2-0-3 record doens't look to impressive, but the losses have been coming against strong teams Lille and Tolouse while they did dissapoint in their last match, losing 0-1 at home to Sochaux while playing 11 vs 10 for over 80 min.
Worth noting is that all 3 of the losses have been by only 1 goal..
In the two wins they've crushed Bastia 3-0 on the road and crushed Brest 4-0 at home.
So far it looks like the expert will have right in that last season was a fluke by Montpellier when they won the leage as they've started the season with a 1-1-3 record.
They got a decent result in their opening match with a home draw against Toulouse, but have since then lost 3 of their 4 played to Lorient, Marseille and a Reims team that before the season was predicted as a relegation contender..
I would normaly not have played St. Etienne this big, but with the Montpelliere having only 2 days of rest between a big CL home opener against the Gunners where they fought well I can't see them beeing at 100% and this matchup have also historically been close with a 2-0-2 record between them in their last 4 and you have to go back to 93 to find last time Montpellier won by more than 1 (Montpellier won 1-0 last season).
I see a draw as the most likely result here, but a St. Etienne win won't suprise me neither...
Monpelliere 1 St. Etienne 1
Was also leaning Häcken, but as a heads up for those leaning on them, 4-5 of their players got into a fight on yesterdays training resulting in some trouble inside the squad from what's repported...
