Weekend Tips For Belgium & Greece

Saturday
Greece
5:30pm
AEK v Aris
Under 2.5 goals - it's a Greek game after all - and back AEK, who have won 10 of the last 11 home games against Aris.

Belgium
7:00pm
ANDERLECHT v St. Truiden
Anderlecht are too short to back, so it may be worth looking at the hosts keeping a clean sheet - the hosts have kept eight clean sheets in 11 home games, including last three straight. STVV have scored in nine of the last 15 meetings at Anderlecht, but are only averaging half a goal per away game this season.

Cercle Brugge v Mechelen
Both teams to score - Mechelen have only failed to score twice in the last eight meetings and Cercle are conceding exactly one goal per home games. I've got to admit that I'm not totally convinced about backing Cercle to win though.

Watching Brief
Charleroi v Zulte
Possible 0-0 here - they've been involved in six goalless draws this season, which is the same number as the Beerschot v Lokeren game (see below). I was originally going to recommend opposing Charleroi, but Zulte's record at Charleroi isn't great (one win in the last five visits) and so checking the score out when the game's finished may be the best option

Sunday
Greece
1:00pm
KAVALA v Kerkyra
Not much head to head form to go on, so once again opposing Kerkyra is probably the way forward.

Ergotelis v Panionios
This is a quandary - Ergotelis kept coming up in my number crunching, but there's no real reason why they're better than Panionios, they're just vaguely 'better' at home than Panionios are away, which could apply to about 90% of games across Europe this weekend...opposing Panionios may be the best move.

Belgium
5:00pm
Beerschot v Lokeren
Under 2.5 goals. Three of the last five meetings have been under and despite their lowly position in the table, only Anderlecht have conceded fewer goals than Beerschot this season.
