*Please note that the odds may change slightly over time. The odds on this site will be slightly different from your bookmaker site.
PORTUGAL: League Cup ___ sure bet / highlighted prediction / my pick ___
Prediction (Benfica vs Braga): BTTS – yes (1.68).
Prediction arguments: 1. Considering that in the last ten h2h matches, 6 matches ended with a result: BTTS – yes. Provided coefficient of 1.68, I consider it correct. 2. This match may be a bit relaxed, the “League Cup” is only considered the third most important tournament in Portugal. And we can see a lot of goals scored. 3. A good example of a ‘relaxed match’, where 5 goals were scored. It can be considered the cup match in January 2024, where Benfica won Braga with a score of three to two. Conclusion: It’s a fair coefficient and given the facts above, I expect both teams to score.
ENGLAND: EFL Cup
BELGIUM: Belgian Cup
SCOTLAND: Premiership
TURKEY: Turkish Cup

When are soccer predictions published today, at what time?
I usually have betting tips 2-3 days in advance, so on this page, there will always be predictions to choose from. By the way, if you are interested – my time zone is UTC+3. So I am usually active during the day in my time zone.
What countries and leagues do my predictions cover?
I will have predictions from all over the world. But the leagues from these continents are a priority: Europe, North America, South America. And very often you will see predictions for international tournaments such as the Champions League, Europa League, Copa Libertadores … I will also add my favorite leagues here, to watch and predict: Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga.
Mathematical predictions (other websites) versus human revised predictions (my case): what’s the difference?
Here I will explain why ‘mathematical prediction sites’ can lead you down the wrong path. Often the ‘mathematical prediction sites’ will have almost the same winning odds as the bookies. In addition, their formula is just a formula, which sees numbers and does not take into account all the details.
Possible details missing from their formulas: breaking news on key players missing the match due to injuries or yellow cards; recent squad changes due to upcoming important matches, etc. And these sites have an opinion on every possible league and match. (instead, I offer not a super large selection, but thoughtful and well analyzed matches)
I will add that mathematical formulas work, but they should always be checked by a person. In my mind I see an analogy with AI and programming, code works better and can complete a task when a human is involved. By the way, to see my free, stable content in the coming months and years, don’t forget to support me.
Why don’t I predict all available matches? (my choice is quality over quantity)
I choose quality over quantity. First of all, I don’t have all the time in the world to analyze the minor leagues. Second of all, I want to be interested in my job, so I will often post predictions for popular world leagues that are watched internationally (such as: Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga). I also want to note that I have been following and knowing the leagues from Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, Brazil and Argentina for a long time. And for some time I have been interested in what is happening in the MLS league.
