Preview- French Ligue 1: Troyes v Bastia
Big thanks to Leroy from Leroysbettingtips.co.uk for providing FantasyYirma with his own personal selection for this weekend’s Football. Delighted to have him on the site. You can follow Leroy on Twitter also at @LeroyFootyTips
This tip comes from the French Ligue 1 game between Troyes v Bastia taking place at the Stade de l’Aube at 19.00 this evening.
Another game from two sides involved in a relegation scrap in the French tip tier and I am expecting a pretty open game with both sides going for all 3 points.
Both sides have impressed me attacking wise of late although both sets of defence’s leave a lot to be desired.
Troyes currently occupy 19th position in the table and are 5 points adrift of safety as things stand. It was looking good last week as they led 0-2 at Toulouse only to concede two goals in the final 3 minutes of the game including a late own goal from Nivet, shaky defending at crucial times of the game has been something that has occurred too often this season.
Attacking wise though they have impressed and are growing in confidence especially at home.
Tonight is a game they really have to go out and try and win with their opponents Bastia 7 points above them in the table and I expect them to give it their all however I do not rate their chances of keeping Bastia out over 90 minutes.
Despite a 0-0 draw last time out, Troyes have managed just 1 other clean sheet at home all season long and have conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games here before that.
They did however mange to find the net equally 12 times themselves during that time and 5 of those 6 games all went over 2.5 goals with the other a 1-1 draw with Nice.
Bastia have conceded heavily during their travels for the most part of the season, in fact they they have the worst defensive record in the league conceding 51 times in just 25 games with 29 of those conceded on the road.
They themselves are just 3 points above the drop zone currently and this is the kind of game they will be aiming to win against a side in a poorer position.
With Bastia’s home record where they are generally finding the points to aid their survival they have nothing to lost tonight by going out and trying to win this game and that’s why I expect a pretty end to end game.
It’s true that Bastia have have struggled to find the net away from home this season but they have had their moments. They put 2 past Lyon, Nice and Reims as well as 3 against Sochaux all away from home.
Last away day they lost out to big guns PSG but still managed to score with the game ending 3-1.
All 4 of Bastia’s last 4 away games have all exceeded the Over 2.5 Goals mark.
This game should be seen as Bastia’s most important away fixture of the season so far and although I am not so confident they can take all 3 points, I am confident they can find the net and I will be expecting Troyes themselves to bag a couple of goals tonight.
Because of all the factors mentioned above I see the odds of 2.1 with Boylesports a great bet and is one of my favourites of the day.
Good luck to everyone betting today!

Five simple ways to win your FPL Mini League
Five simple ways to win your FPL Mini League
There’s nothing better than beating your friends at fantasy football and Matthew Glazier of Bettingpro.com offers some straightforward advice to ensure the bragging rights
I’m no different to most of you reading this.
I go to bed every evening thinking about which players in the “Get It Ready” squad are underperforming. I log into my FPL account every morning to see if my team value has risen or gone down after the price changes. I spend Saturday and Sunday afternoons refreshing the points page and checking to see how my rivals are faring.
Having been playing FPL for a couple of seasons, I think I’ve cracked a way of beating friends and work colleagues, even if the top players are still streets ahead of where I want to be. Here are five useful pointers which can help you win your personal Mini League.
1) Make your transfers early
This is a contentious one but it’s worked well for me so far. The only reason to make transfers on a Friday evening / Saturday morning is because you’re waiting on injury news. However, Juan Mata, Frank Lampard or Demba Ba might have risen in price several times after last weekend’s bonus point performance – it usually pays to get the changes made quickly and boost your overall squad value.
2) Stick to your guns after a slow start
It’s all too easy to chop and change if one of your strikers doesn’t score for a game or two. The same applies to midfielders who are scoring two points every week but, providing there was a strong basis for why you picked the player, sticking to your guns often pays off. Robin van Persie last season was a classic example as the Dutchman started to find real scoring form after a few weeks. The same has applied to Gareth Bale this term.
3) Keep a note of the Premier League fixtures
I don’t have an algorithm which works out which teams have the easiest upcoming fixtures. However, simply inputting the next six weeks’ worth of fixtures into a spreadsheet and marking the home / away matches will give you a useful overview of what’s on the horizon. I often make a few short notes, eg Manchester United have four of their next six matches at home.
4) Hey! You’ve got to hide your points away
You’ve worked hard to get points on the board so think carefully about those four-point deductions because you’re convinced that Steven Gerrard is going to score a hat-trick in the Merseyside derby. OK, so if your squad is decimated by injury, there might be a case for taking a hit but it usually pays to be patient before making your next transfer.
5) Don’t pin your hopes on a DGW
There are 38 Game Weeks during the season and winning your Mini League isn’t about trying to smash it when two teams are playing twice in a week. For a start, they are facing each other in one of those games which negates their potential points-scoring impact. Secondly, you can be stuck with players that you don’t want in the long-term.

Weekend’s Football Value Bets
It’s a big weekend for me coming up and there is a fair amount of football that interests me through Europe.
I have selected two of my stand out bets to share with you.
The first comes from France in the game between Sochaux v Reims taking place Saturday afternoon and I will be betting on both teams to score here. With both sides struggling near the foot of the table this becomes a game in which I believe neither side would be happy to settle for a point. Both are locked on 19 points each and are also joint on the same points with Evian TG who play Friday night away to Lyon and whom also occupy the last relegation place in the table. Sochaux have managed to find the net in all but two of their home games so far this season and although Reims do struggle for goals on the road, they will surely be going all out for 3 points here in this crucial game and they did score twice against Lorient in their 2-2 draw just last weekend which will have done their confidence the world of good going forward after a dire spell without a goal on the road. This should be a pretty end to end game in my opinion and therefore I feel the odds of 2.1 with Coral just look a touch too big for me.
The other bet features on Sunday afternoon and comes from the African Cup Of Nations opener between hosts South Africa v Cape Verde who make their tournament debut here. I am a big fan of African football and have seen a fair bit of football from both nations over the past couple of years and I really feel Cape Verde are capable of springing a surprise here. South Africa have hit a bit of a downward spiral in recent times and really have not impressed me. Of course what they do have here over their opponents is the experience of playing on the big stages of world football and that may well play a part here along with the fact that they are the hosts so an obvious advantage there but Cape Verde will be up for this game and they are dangerous, especially going forward. They managed 12 goals in their final 5 games of qualification and won games over the likes of Cameroon and Zimbabwe. Lille forward Ryan Mendes could be the difference here, the 23 year old is a hot prospect for the future and one to watch out for in this tournament.
Cape Verde would surprise most by even achieving a draw in this game and I feel they well capable of that. If they were to lose I would bet it by just a single goal so I see huge value in taking them to win this game with a +1 Asian Handicap at odds of 1.8 with Marathon. This means if they were to lose this game by just a single goal we would have our stakes returned to us and the bet effectively made void.
Weekend Football Value Bets
Sochaux v Reims – BTTS – 2.1@Coral – France – 15.00 KO
South Africa v Cape Verde +1AH – 1.8@Marathon – African Nations – 16.00 KO
