👔 Managers: João Pereira stays in charge of Alanyaspor, while Selçuk İnan continues at Kocaelispor. No fresh managerial change on either bench.
🩺 Team news: Kocaelispor are without Tanguy Zoukrou, Massadio Haïdara and Bruno Petković. Matej Maglica is back in team training, but İnan made it clear the medical staff will decide whether he plays — training is not the same as match fitness. For Alanyaspor, local reports have Paolo Fernandes and Iván Cédric injured. No suspensions on either side.
⚽ Line-ups: Probable XIs are circulating, but there's a conflict over the Alanyaspor goalkeeper, so we'd wait for the official team sheet before treating any projection as reliable. İnan expects a back three from the hosts and says his side have prepared for both three- and four-man defensive shapes.
💸 Market: Alanyaspor 1.97 · Draw 3.11 · Kocaelispor 3.80 (domestic board, needs a fresh check).
🔍 Our read: Kocaelispor's missing defenders tilt things toward the home side, but Alanyaspor's own attacking absences and the open selection questions stop us from trusting a home win at under 2.00.
Betting view: Pass until the official line-ups settle the availability questions.
👔 Managers: Joseph Oosting (Go Ahead) and Henk Brugge (Telstar), both appointed in the summer.
🩺 Team news: Go Ahead are missing goalkeeper Nick Marsman (knee), Eus Waayers and Pim Saathof (cruciate ligament). Telstar have no reported absentees — which means nothing is listed, not that the whole squad is guaranteed fit.
⚽ Last starting XIs (not confirmed for Friday):
Go Ahead: Haug; Sampsted, Van Zwam, Kramer, James; Meulensteen, Linthorst; Tengstedt, Edvardsen, Suray; Sigurðarson.
Telstar: Koeman Jr.; Alders, Soualhia, Valk, Peersman; Owusu, Rossen, Shenkman; Brouwer, Thórisson, Martha.
📈 Form: Go Ahead are six without a win (four draws, two defeats) and Oosting wants a reaction after the derby loss. Telstar arrive on the back of a wild 3–4 defeat at Feyenoord in which they gave the hosts plenty of problems.
💸 Market: Go Ahead 1.57 · Draw 4.20 · Telstar 5.00 · Over 2.5 1.36 · BTTS Yes 1.40.
🔍 Our read: 1.57 asks for a level of confidence Go Ahead's recent results haven't earned. Goals look likely, but at 1.36 and 1.40 the goals markets have already priced that in.
Betting view: Pass at the current prices.
👔 Managers: Sebastian Hoeneß remains at Stuttgart. Gladbach appointed Alexander Blessin on 22 September, after Eugen Polanski and a spell under interim coach Jan-Moritz Lichte.
🩺 Team news: Stuttgart confirmed five absentees: Josha Vagnoman (muscle injury picked up in Tuesday's Champions League game), Tiago Tomás, Nikolas Nartey, Dan-Axel Zagadou and Justin Diehl. Gladbach's list is far longer — Ko Itakura, Isac Lidberg, Franck Honorat, Jan Leszczyński, Tim Kleindienst, Nicolas Kühn, Enzo Leopold, Fritz Fleck and Jens Castrop — and Kevin Diks also misses out for personal reasons.
⚽ Line-ups: Any Stuttgart projection that still includes Vagnoman is out of date, as is any Gladbach XI featuring Diks, Lidberg or Kleindienst.
📈 Form: Gladbach lost each of their first six league games. Blessin has inherited a results crisis and a squad that is short in defence and attack at the same time.
💸 Market: Stuttgart 1.36 · Draw 5.50 · Gladbach 7.50.
🔍 Our read: This is the strongest home-win case on the whole slate. The catch is the price: Stuttgart have their own injuries and a short turnaround after European football, and at 1.36 much of Gladbach's misery is already in the number.
Betting view: Strong winner lean, but we pass at 1.36. We'd want 1.45+ for the straight home win.
👔 Managers: Julien Lachuer (Brest) and Olivier Pantaloni (Nice), both new this season.
🩺 Team news: Brest are without centre-backs Brendan Chardonnet and Raphaël Le Guen. Giovani Versini is back in group training, so his involvement needs confirming. Nice are missing Antoine Mendy, Moïse Bombito and Laurent Abergel, with Ali Abdi and Morgan Sanson also reported unavailable. No suspensions.
⚽ Projected XIs (not confirmed):
Brest: Selvik; Lala, Tousart, Lloris, Locko; Chotard, Magnetti; Baldé, Doumbia, Mboup; Ajorque.
Nice: Diouf; Abdelmonem, Ndayishimiye, Mandza; Clauss, Boudaoui, Witsel, Nkounkou; Hein, Wahi, Amoura.
The big structural change is Tousart dropping into central defence for Brest.
📈 Form: Nice were uneven at Lyon — sloppy on the ball before the break, much sharper with their pressing after it. Brest can disrupt their build-up, but shouldn't expect Nice to sit back passively.
💸 Market: Brest 2.20 · BTTS Yes 1.57 · Over 2.5 1.73.
🔍 Our read: Home advantage counts, but a patched-up centre-back pairing kills the clean-sheet angle. Nice are short in defence and midfield too. A modest Brest lean with draw protection is the way we'd play it; BTTS at 1.57 leaves too little margin.
Betting view: Brest Draw No Bet at 1.75+, subject to the team sheets.
👔 Managers: Ignazio Abate (Torino, appointed June) faces Ivan Jurić (Monza, appointed July) — two new benches with new tactical ideas.
🩺 Team news: Torino are without Niccolò Fortini, Emirhan İlkhan and Ricardo Rodríguez, with no suspensions. Monza are missing Matteo Pessina and Jan Ziółkowski; Idrissa Touré and Patrick Ciurria made the travelling squad, so Touré shouldn't be ruled out. Lorenzo Lucchesi has served his ban.
⚽ Projected XIs (not confirmed):
Torino (3-5-2): Perri; Comuzzo, Ismajli, Coco; Belghali, Vlašić, Mandragora, Gineitis, Cacciamani; Adams, Simeone.
Monza (3-4-2-1): Törnqvist; Carboni, Goglichidze, Kouadio; Mangas, Akinsanmiro, Foe Ondoa, Birindelli; Robinson, Mota; Varela.
📈 Form: Both sides come in off convincing wins. Abate credits the two-striker set-up for Simeone's upturn and expects an intense, duel-heavy game — Monza deserve more respect than the usual "promoted side" label.
💸 Market (Exchange): Torino 2.26 · Draw 3.50 · Monza 3.60.
🔍 Our read: Two up front gives Torino a real route at Monza's back three, but Varela and the two creators behind him make an away goal a live threat. Torino are the side, with draw cover preferred over a big handicap.
Betting view: Torino Draw No Bet at 1.70+ — our preferred angle on the slate.
👔 Managers: Gary O'Neil (Ipswich) and Oliver Glasner (Forest), both appointed this summer — older previews built around the previous coaches no longer apply.
🩺 Team news: Ipswich lose Saša Lukić to a groin injury, confirmed by O'Neil. Forest are without Igor Jesus (calf) and Nicolò Savona (knee), but the club has confirmed Morgan Gibbs-White is fit to return.
⚽ Ipswich's last XI (vs Manchester City, not confirmed for Friday): Walton; O'Shea, Diop, Greaves; Ouattara, Palacios, Florentino, Davis; Enciso, Maeda; Emersonn.
📈 Form: Forest have lost three league games in a row, but O'Neil himself thinks their performances are better than their points tally, and he sees plenty of Glasner's old Palace side in them.
💸 Market: Ipswich 3.13 · Draw 3.40 · Forest 2.25.
🔍 Our read: Gibbs-White's return reconnects Forest's midfield with their front line, while Lukić's absence takes flexibility out of Ipswich's engine room. We lean Forest, but Ipswich's home threat keeps the draw very much alive — so DNB over an away handicap.
Betting view: Forest Draw No Bet at 1.75+ only.
👔 Managers: Quique Sánchez Flores has led Alavés since replacing Eduardo Coudet in March. Juan Funes continues at Málaga.
🩺 Team news: Alavés are without Mikel Rodríguez (ACL) and Facundo Garcés, but Ángel Pérez is back from suspension. Málaga are missing Joaquín Muñoz, Juan Cruz, Julen Lobete, Diego Murillo and Aarón Ochoa, plus Pablo Martínez (plantar fascia). Juan Berrocal returns.
⚽ Projected Alavés XI: Sivera; Tenaglia, Koski, Valentini; Ángel Pérez, Pablo Ibáñez, Blanco, Denis Suárez, Abde; Toni Martínez, Lucas Boyé. Málaga have named a 24-man travelling squad including Herrero, Cajuste, Puga, Galilea, Dotor, Chupe, Larrubia, Niño and Berrocal.
📈 Form: Neither side is flying. Alavés have taken one point from their last five; Málaga are still waiting for a first league win.
💸 Market: Alavés 1.67 · Draw 3.80 · Málaga 5.50 · Under 2.5 1.75.
🔍 Our read: Málaga's missing wide players and Martínez's absence limit their attacking options, which points to a narrow home win. But being bottom doesn't make Málaga automatic value against at 1.67, and their shaky defence stops us from going hard on the Under.
Betting view: Home lean, no value position at the current prices.
2️⃣ Forest DNB — 1.75 or better
3️⃣ Brest DNB — 1.75 or better
⚠️ Stuttgart — strongest winner lean, but 1.36 is too short (we want 1.45+)
