Marseille picked up their first defeat of the season last week, a 1-0 loss away to Lyon, and while the result was not out of the ordinary they will want to get back on track and maintain their gap at the top of the league. Lens have won just 1 of their last 7 fixtures and like most teams in this division, struggle on the road. An important factor for this tip is the news regarding Marseille's defense, two key players will miss out and see the side aiming for a more attacking approach, likely to concede a goal here. Marseille have won the last 3 head-to-head fixtures between the sides and while this won't be as easy as some of their results this season, we do expect the hosts to bag a few.

5th place Valencia travel to 8th place Villarreal today as two of the leagues in-form sides battle it out, the former having a chance to move into 2nd place with a win. At this point it would not be wise to back against a solid Villarreal, a side who have time and again proven just how stubbourn they can be on home turf, only Barcelona and Real Madrid able to take points of them at El Madrigal this season. Valencia took a 3-0 knock against newly promoted Deportivo La Coruna only to hit back with an important 3-1 win against Elche last week, they have been solid and have netted an average of 2 per game so far. Villarreal wont go down without a big fight, Valencia look good for a goal and a point, but to nil, unlikely.
Ayia Napa are in terrible form heading into this game, their only win in recent months coming in lasts weeks cup against a division 2 side. Since being promoted they are yet to pick up a win and will struggle to keep the goals out against a strong Omonia side. Past results show big wins for the more experience team, 3-0 and 5-0 in their most recent fixtures. The visitors are conceding more than a goal per game so far and look goof for a loss by a few goals today, should Omonia score early we should be safe in this one.
Bolivar may be one of the best sides in the country but in recent times it seems to focus more on attack than defence, aiming to simply outscore all comers. Their last 4 games within the league have all ended with over 5.5 goals and seen both them and their opponent get on the score-sheet. 9th place Petrolero are recently promoted and have so far managed to score in 11 of the 13 games played, in fact, just 1 of their last 7 games ended in defeat including results against The Strongest and Jorge Wilstermann. Odds on a home win are terrible and offer no value considering how likely they are to concede here, get on the goals markets and clear up in this game,
A game between two of the best sides in Wales today. Choosing a winner between these two would usually be too tough to call, but recent form sees T.N.S as clear favourites on this occasion. Airbus have now slipped up in 4 of the last 6 fixtures, games in which they were always favourite, new boys Cefn Druids taking them for 4 points from 2 meetings in recent weeks, while T.N.S recorded a 3-2 away win at the start of the month. The hosts have not lost yet this season, winning all but 2 of the 11 played, we cannot see them losing today and see great value in the odds offered by Coral in this one.
Willem have been impressive since their promotion into the division as the start of the campaign, at home they have won 3 of 5 losing only to PSV and Vitesse, two of the best sides in the country. They always look good for a goal in front of their strong home support, and with just one player missing for this one have a great chance to bag back-to-back wins in this division for the first time since 2009. Cambuur are no pushovers but just cannot pick ups wins on the road, just 1 of the last 22 away from home ended with them picking up 3 points. Cambuur's most recent game saw them held 0-0 in the KNVB Cup competition, this at home by a team from two divisions lower. Willem are too strong at home to be losing to a tired and lackluster traveler today.
League One outfit Dunfirmline travel to League Two struggles East Stirlingshire today looking to grab what should be an east victory in the William Hill Cup 3rd round. There is a gulf of clash between the two sides who sit at opposite ends of their respective tables. Fixtures between these sides have been restricted to cup ties and a few and far between, the most recent a important sees Dunfirmline picking up a 2-0 win just last year in the League Cup. This is a fairly straight forward pick, the much more experienced and in-form side should have little trouble today.
