The month of September is here and that means good news for all the bettors out there. After a short break, a majority of the top European Leagues are set to get back underway.
The 2020/21 Ligue 1 campaign already resumed last month after abruptly calling last season to an end back in April.
Elsewhere, the Premier League and La Liga are back on our screens this weekend and we welcome the Serie A back in action later on the 19th of September.
All of the above means in the coming weeks to come, we will be left with a flurry of options for daily picks. Without much ado, we will compile the best tips from across all leagues updated on a daily basis.
Football has its surprises and setbacks of course but we will provide you with value tips that are well researched and more than likely to come through as an outcome.
Straight to the action of the day, shall we?
10/09/20: Featured Match: Lens vs Paris-Saint Germain
We’ll travel down to Ligue 1 for our featured match of the day where an interesting tie awaits at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
Preview
Only two-and-a-half weeks have passed since PSG lost the biggest match in their history in the Champions League final against Bayern.
In reality, there is the possibility of that disappointment lingering heading into the new campaign.
Their participation in the Champions League saw the reigning champions get an extended break and could it mean some tiredness for Thomas Tuchel and company? Just maybe.
That’s not all. Some unforeseen circumstances also mean Les Parisiens might be without a host of their top stars. These all point to the fact that the French giants won’t be at their best.
On the other hand, Lens are back in Ligue 1 after their promotion and their campaign could not have started any harder as they will take on the champions PSG on Thursday evening in only their second game of the season.
The newly promoted side lost their first game of the season via a 2-1 score line away to Nice. The aim now would be to return to winning ways but when that game is against PSG, chances are rather slim.
A lot of scenarios at the moment leaves the game with the possibility of an exciting result but we’ll give you the best tips we can expect from the game regardless.
PSG to win
The reigning champions won’t be with their best XI and we can expect a make-shift eleven. As much as seven PSG players are ruled out of the tie after testing positive for covid-19 over the last few days. The star trio of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria amongst others are set to be out of the game.
Regardless, we expect PSG to overcome them on quality and grind out a much needed win to mark the start of their 2020/21 title defending campaign.
Bet9ja put the reigning champions to win at 1.70 while Nairabet has odds of 1.75 for the same outcome. An upset can indeed happen and there’s an exciting odd of 4.90 by Bet9ja and 5.10 by Nairabet for Lens to claim a shock win.
Goals – Under 3.5
On a good day, this tip should pretty much be the opposite and should go for over 3.5 goals but with PSG lacking enough firepower, we’re expecting a pretty dull outcome on the attacking front. Most of the PSG attackers are ruled out for this game and it would mostly be fringe players steeping in for the usual XI.
Lens will fancy their chances at scoring but they’ll be sure not to underestimate any PSG team at all and even a point will be more than a good result for them.
Bet9ja has odds of 1.33 and Nairabet has 1.33 for this option.
Anytime goal-scorer – Sarabia
The likes of Neymar, Icardi and Mbappe are set to miss out on the game and it’s pretty difficult to point at anyone else likely to grab a goal.
But if anyone more than others will, Pablo Sarabia has a good chance of being that man. The Spaniard bagged a decent 14 goals for PSG in all competitions last season. In a team with the attacking potent the Ligue 1 champions have, those numbers are good especially for a midfielder. More so, the 28-year-old had a habit of scoring match-winning goals and crucial goals that turned the tie.
Sarabia has a strong chance of finding the back of the net against Lens. Bet9ja offer a bargain odd of 3.50 for the Spaniard to grab a goal.
Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
