The fixture Orgryte – Degerfors from the Swedish Superettan will be played on October 9th (Tuesday) at 18:00 h. UK time. Two sides in the top half but ones with no real chance of clinching promotion. Orgryte and Degerfors have identical records of 37 points from 25 games, which certainly suggests there is little to choose between the sides. With just five matches of the season remaining, both teams could be forgiven for winding down a little now with not much to play for.
The coefficient for Orgryte to win is 1.72. Draw result is estimated at 3.60. The coefficient for Degerfors to win is 4.75. TV Program for football is available here.
The fixture Sundsvall – Kalmar from the Swedish Allsvenskan will be played on October 8th (Monday) at 18:00 h. UK time. These are respectively seventh and tenth place with assets of 37 and 29 won by them at this stage of the championship points. The desire of both teams is victory.
The coefficient for Sundsvall to win is 1.95. Draw result is estimated at 3.60. The coefficient for Kalmar to win is 3.60. TV Program for football is available here.
The fixture Koln – Duisburg from the German 2. Bundesliga will be played on October 8th (Monday) at 19:30 h. UK time. The goats, who are the main contender for entering the first Bundesliga today, go against the last team in the standings, which makes them a huge favorite and of course they all expect to see a defeat.
The coefficient for Koln to win is 1.33. Draw result is estimated at 5.25. The coefficient for Duisburg to win is 8.00. TV Program for football is available here.
The fixture Sochaux – Metz from the French Ligue 2 will be played on October 8th (Monday) at 19:45 h. UK time. The hosts are not successful in a third match after having made two losses and a draw which ranked them in the 15th with 10 points. Metz also did not show good games and entered a series of two consecutive defeats from Le Havre and Paris FC, which took away today’s leaders from the league position in League 2.
The coefficient for Sochaux to win is 3.80. Draw result is estimated at 3.10. The coefficient for Metz to win is 2.05. TV Program for football is available here.
The fixture Rayo Majadahonda – Sporting Gijon from Spain – Segunda Division will be played on October 8th (Monday) at 19:00 h. UK time. Gijon was still in Lalga, and they would all want to come back there again. The hosts are not the most famous teams and are not so famous that we remain optimistic that Gijon will play the cards properly and will necessarily reach all three points.
The coefficient for Rayo Majadahonda to win is 3.50. Draw result is estimated at 2.90. The coefficient for Sporting Gijon to win is 2.30. TV Program for football is available here.
