FF Jaro vs SJK (Finland Veikkausliiga) – 17:00
We head to Finland for the first of today’s betting predictions, where the goals have been tipped to flow in the Veikkausliiga clash between FF Jaro and SJK on Friday evening.
Four of the last five meetings between the clubs (including one friendly) have beaten a target of over 2.5 goals, with the only outlier coming in the 1-1 draw between the sides in April.
On that occasion, however, the teams clocked 27 shots between them and created three big chances each, and really, the game should have produced more than the two goals that were registered. Expect entertainment levels to be high when Jaro and SJK renew acquaintances in Jakobstad.
Recommended bet: Over 2.5 Goals - 4/7

Vasteras SK vs Orgryte IS (Sweden Allsvenskan) – 18:00
Orgryte have been struggling in the early exchanges of the new Allsvenskan campaign in Sweden and find themselves in second-last place following a string of poor performances and results.
Their form on the road has been particularly poor, with Orgryte losing five of their first six away assignments while conceding an alarming 19 goals along the way.
Vasteras could be the latest side to profit from their opponent’s travel sickness. The hosts have claimed seven points from the last nine on offer in Sweden’s top tier, and buoyed by that upturn, they should have the confidence to push for maximum points again.
Recommended bet: Vasteras SK to Win - 7/20

Viborg vs Odense (Denmark Superliga) – 18:00
Viborg and Odense open the new Danish Superliga season on Friday evening at the Energi Viborg Arena, where backing goals to be scored at both ends could reap dividends.
This fixture has a history of delivering the goods for BTTS bettors and 100% of the clubs’ last six meetings have produced goals at both ends.
Both teams have also notched in six of the sides’ last seven tussles that have been hosted in Viborg and we’re tipping that trend to continue on Friday.
Recommended bet: Both Teams to Score - 11/20

Pogon Szczecin vs Legia Warsaw (Poland Ekstraklasa) – 19:30
The new Ekstraklasa season opens on Friday evening and though Pogon Szczecin’s contest against Legia Warsaw has been chosen as the second act in a double-header curtain-raiser, we expect the fixture to be light on goalmouth action.
Last term, both league encounters between the teams produced under 2.5 goals, indeed, each of the last five meetings between them in the Ekstraklasa have seen two or fewer goals overall, with a single goal or less scored in three of the same games.
Neither side is likely to be up to full speed in terms of fitness and match sharpness on Friday, so there is a decent chance that margins will be slim again. With that in mind, backing under 2.5 goals to be notched again at just shy of evens has plenty of appeal.
Recommended bet: Under 2.5 Goals - 5/6

St Patrick's Athletic vs Dundalk (Ireland Premier Division) – 20:00
Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Athletic have been a formidable force on home soil in the Irish Premier Division this term, winning nine of their 12 matches at Richmond Park, while losing only once along the way.
St. Pats harnessed home advantage to the full when they last hosted Dundalk in February, dishing out a 4-0 thumping in the capital that still serves as the Lilywhites’ biggest defeat of the 2026 campaign so far.
Since then, Dundalk have lost two key attackers, Eoin Kenny and Gbemi Arubi, to English clubs, leaving them short on quality ahead of their latest test at Pats. Everything points to a routine home win in this one.
Recommended bet: St. Patrick's Athletic to Win - 8/13

Racing Club vs Gimnasia LP (Argentina Liga Profesional) – 23:00
Racing Club returned from a two-month hiatus to hammer Defensa y Justicia 4-1 in the Copa Argentina last week and look well-equipped to follow that victory up with another one when they host Gimnasia LP on Friday.
That 4-1 triumph represented the perfect start for new Racing coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda, who was sacked by Brazilian giants Santos in March, and the 51-year-old will be keen to maintain his early momentum here.
Racing Club created six big chances and registered an xG of 3.99 in their cup win over Defensa, and their front pairing of Matko Miljevic and Adrián Martínez looked particularly threatening.
Racing’s recent record against Gimnasia is underwhelming, but under new management and energised by their cup demolition job on Defensa, they can take command of this Liga Profesional opener.
Recommended bet: Racing Club to Win - 4/6
