If you are fun of football and sports betting then you definitely know sportpesa’s crown jewel the sportpesa mega jackpot that provides football/sports betting enthusiasts with a chance to be overnight millionaires.
On the line this week is KES 236,000,000 for anyone with the luck, the acumen to accurately analyze and correctly predict the 17 football matches that sportpesa mega jackpot comprises of.
To many who have tried and failed to crack the sportpesa mega jackpot it appears to be an impossibility and a waste of time and money but is it really?
Can the sportpesa mega jackpot be cracked and if the answer is yes then how do you go about achieving some semblance of success and be the lucky few who do actually become overnight millionaires?
I have been chasing the gold at the end of the rainbow and what i have come to learn is that it may be easier to target the bonuses offered with are easy to grasp low-hanging fruits than it is to try and win the whole shebang.
How do I go about winning the bonuses on offer you may ask?
I will not lie and say it is easily achieved but I will go ahead and show you the formula I use to pick some of these low-hanging bonuses a couple of times a year.
[maxbutton id=”27″]
Steps I take:
Step 1: I set a target of the bonus I am aiming for and most of the time the target is usually 13/17 to 14/17. The reason I choose this band of bonuses is so that when I have a mishap lady luck my grace my analysis booth and gift me 12/17 which at times provides a bonus of up to KES 25,000
Step 2:Now that I have my target in my sights I now have to figure out how to crack the puzzle that is a 17 game multibet for the mega jackpot is actually a multibet consisting of 17 games. The great aspect about this 17 game multibet is that you are given a chance to lose 5 games and still come out with some cash in your betting account wallet
[maxbutton id=”27″]
Step 3:Of all the 17 games offered on sportpesa mega jackpot statistically you will not miss 5 or six games that have a direct meaning through some research on historical data you may be able to correctly predict these games. These are what we call the anchor games and those that we undertake extensive research on to ensure that we get them correctly. Once your anchor games go through you are almost guaranteed a bonus. Be keen on your research when it comes to these games.
Step 4:Once you have your five or six anchor games you are on your way to a bonus and you require an additional 7 or 8 games to work out for you to win the bonus. There is no sure way of accurately predicting these 7 or 8 games that we will call the support games as you have already sieved out the anchor games which account for your mostly certain predictions. The trick here is to use hedging which simply means creating 3 to 5 sportpesa mega jackpot slips all having similar predictions for your anchor games but having variable predictions for your 7 or 8 support games. Now the support game predictions should not be random but rather based on some sort of research that should give you a double chance idea of where the game will lean towards and these double chances are what should be used mostly with one slip left for what we call the outside chance meaning the most unlikely 3-way outcome
What do I mean by this? see below
| GAMES | SLIP 1 | SLIP 2 | SLIP 3 | SLIP 4 | SLIP 5 | |
| ANCHOR | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| SUPPORT | 2 | 1 | X | 2 | X | 1 |
| ANCHOR | 3 | X | X | X | X | X |
| SUPPORT | 4 | 1 | 2 | 2 | X | 1 |
| SUPPORT | 5 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | X |
| SUPPORT | 6 | X | X | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| ANCHOR | 7 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| SUPPORT | 8 | 2 | 1 | X | 1 | 2 |
| ANCHOR | 9 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| UNDECIDED | 10 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| SUPPORT | 11 | 2 | 2 | X | X | 1 |
| ANCHOR | 12 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| SUPPORT | 13 | X | 1 | 2 | X | 1 |
| UNDECIDED | 14 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| ANCHOR | 15 | X | X | X | X | X |
| UNDECIDED | 16 | 1 | X | 1 | X | 1 |
| SUPPORT | 17 | 1 | 2 | 1 | X | 2 |
[maxbutton id=”27″]
Step 5:Once you have concluded the above steps you will be then left with three or four games that you have not yet predicted. Go random on these based on the odds assigned meaning using the two lowest odd offering for odds are a reflection of the bookie’s risk matrix. We can do this because 3 games account for 18% of the games and as such the random selection will have very little influence on the outcome but most often than not one or two of these games will go your way because the random selections based on odds still account for the 3-way probabilities.
Step 4: Now let’s talk about money mathematics. You actually don’t need to win a bonus every weekend to make money on sportpesa mega jackpot.
For example, if you got 12/17 on last week’s mega jackpot you would have won a bonus of KES 21,522 and you had used a stake of KES 500 for the five slips then it means you now have the capability to play the sportpesa mega jackpot for the next 40 weeks. This means you mostly need about two to four wins a year to be profitable when you average 12/17 and when you average 13/17 which was KES 112,127 you just need one to two wins a year and you can be among the few sports betting enthusiasts who profit from sportpesa and in turn the mega jackpot.

It may not be easy but it is doable and with multibet Kenya’s advanced methodologies that leverage algorithms and technology you stand a chance at a bonus this weekend

Additional Thoughts
I think Potenza Calcio will have a slight advantage in this match due to their home advantage. They have a good record at home this season, winning five of their eight home matches. Audace Cerignola, on the other hand, have a poor record away from home, winning only one of their nine away matches.
I also think Potenza Calcio will have an advantage in the midfield. They have a strong midfield trio of Salvatore Cappa, Simone Coccia, and Francesco Lorusso. This trio is responsible for creating chances for the Potenza Calcio attack. Audace Cerignola, on the other hand, have a weaker midfield. They are often overrun by opposing teams in midfield.
Ultimately, I think Potenza Calcio will win this match by a narrow margin. I think they will be able to take advantage of their home advantage and their strong midfield to secure a victory.

I also think CA Peñarol will have an advantage in attack. They have a number of talented attacking players, including Agustín Álvarez Martínez, Facundo Torres, and Cristian Olivera. These players are capable of creating chances and scoring goals, and they will be a handful for the Danubio FC defense.
Overall, I think CA Peñarol will win this match by a narrow margin. They are the better team and have a lot of momentum at the moment. However, Danubio FC is a dangerous team, and they should not be ruled out completely.

It is another weekend where bet slips have to be made in anticipation of winning the Mega Jackpot if not the lucrative bonuses offered. Therefore it is in our greatest interest to provide an in-depth analysis of the upcoming matches in an effort to help you come up with a winning bet slip. Below is a breakdown of the individual matches in the Mega jackpot.
AFC ESKILSTUNA vs HELSINGBORG
In Sweden’s Allsvenskan Eskilstuna meet Helsingborg in an interesting matchup, Eskilstuna is fifteenth in the league table whereas their opponents Helsingborg are fourteenth on the table with only three points separating them thus Helsingborg have eight points while their opponents have five points. Helsingborg has lost four and drawn one of their last five matches while Eskilstuna has drawn two, lost two, and won one of their last matches. In their last recent two meetings, they drew in one match and Eskilstuna won one match away from home. Statistically, Eskilstuna looks to be the better team with home advantage in this match but due to both teams’ table positioning a draw could ensue.
ALCORCON vs UD EXTREMADURA
Alcorcon will be playing Extremadura in the LaLiga 2. Alcorcon are in eleventh place with 51 points while their opponents Extremadura are in fifteenth place with 45 points with a stellar four wins and one loss in their last five matches while Alcorcon has three losses one draw and one win comparatively. Both teams have won a single match in their last two meetings where the team that was playing at home registered a win. Statistically, Extremadura looks to be the better team but the fact that Alcorcon is playing at home and are above in the table could be anyone’s match or even Steven.
ESPANYOL vs REAL SOCIEDAD
In the Spanish LaLiga ninth placed Real sociedad meet eighth placed Espanyol in a match that will definitely be tough by the mere fact that both teams have a 50 points tie. In their last five meetings the teams have registered two draws, Real sociedad winning twice and Espanyol winning once. Interestingly Espanyol have won twice, drawn twice and lost once while playing at home in comparison to Real sociedad who have won once drawn one and lost three times in their last five matches away from home. Espanyol are favorites to win in this match up in an anticipatory extension of their last home win against strongly second placed Atletico Madrid.
ELCHE vs TENERIFE
In LaLiga 2 Elche will be playing Tenerife. Elche are 12th placed on the table with 50 points while Tenerife are 17th placed on the table with 43 points. Elche are favorites to win having won four and lost only one match in their last home matches. Tenerife have only won one, lost two and drawn two of their last away matches. In the head to head statistics of the last five matches, Tenerife have won two matches in which they were at home, Elche has won one match in which they were also at home while both teams drew twice.
ALAVES vs GIRONA
Alaves will meet relegation prone Girona in the Spanish LaLiga. This will be a tough match as Girona will be looking to upset Alaves. Both teams have drawn twice in their last four meetings and Girona have won two matches. Girona are 17th placed with 37 points while Alaves are 11th placed with 47 points. Girona have lost four and won one of their last five matches away from home while Alaves have won three and drawn two of their last five matches whilst playing at home. This match has a very high chance of ending up a draw if not a Girona win as really need it and hope that Celta Vigo lose next match while overturning a six goal difference.
HUESCA vs LEGANES
This could more or less be termed as a display match considering the fact that Huesca have already been relegated, but it is very common for such teams to put on a great game as they play for the last time in the League. It is highly anticipated that 13th placed Leganes will be the favorites of this match up, as they are slots higher than bottom placed Huesca who are 20th on the table. In their most recent meeting Leganes won at home by a single goal while Huesca have only won a single match, drawn two and lost two while playing at home in their last five games. This could very likely end in a draw as no team will be highly motivated as there is nothing to play for as the LaLiga winds up.
STRASBOURG vs RENNES
This will be a match between two teams in the French Ligue 1 competition that are 11th and 12th placed consecutively on the table with at 46 points tie. The home team Strasbourg are favorites to win with their home advantage and having won two out of three matches in their last meetings with opponents Stade Rennes. Notably Strasbourg won by 4 goals to one while playing away in their last meeting in December last year. Therefore it is highly anticipated that they replicate the magnificent performance this time round with a home turf advantage. Rennes haven’t won a single match in their last five games while playing away from home.
GUINGAMP vs NIMES
Guingamp will be playing Nimes in the French Ligue 1, Guingamp have already been relegated as they are placed 20th at the bottom of the table. However they will definitely be looking to end their Ligue 1 playing time with a good performance considering the fact that they held their opponents to a goalless stalemate while they were playing away from home in their last meeting in September of last year. Nimes current form away from home doesn’t look good with only one win and four losses in their last five matches. Therefore this match could likely go Guingamp’s way or a draw.
PERTH GLORY vs SYDNEY FC
In the Australian League playoffs Perth glory who drew 3-3 and won 5-4 on a penalty shoot out to Adelaide united in the semifinal of the playoffs will be meeting Sydney Fc who thrashed Melbourne victory a whooping six goals to one in their semifinal of the play offs. However Perth Glory’s have won four and lost one of their last five matches in comparison to Sydney fc who have won two, Lost two and drawn once in their last five matches. In the head to head statistics Sydney fc seem to be the favorites having won 11 out of 12 matches they have played against Perth Glory who have only won one match.
EMOPLI vs TORINO
This will be an interesting clash in the Italian Serie A. It will be the second last match for both teams and it is quite significant to both teams because Empoli are 18th on the table with 35 points and facing relegation. A win for them could mathematically put them away from relegation assuming Genoa and Udinese lose or draw in their upcoming matches. On the other hand Torino are 7th placed on the table with 60 points. Mathematically if they win this game and the last one assuming Atalanta Milan and Roma lose or draw in their upcoming matches they could as well finish in fourth place. Even though Torino are favorites to win Empoli will definitely unleash their full capacity in order to avoid relegation. Torino have won once and both teams have drawn twice in their las three meetings.
PARMA FC vs FIORENTINA
Fifteenth placed Parma fc will be facing Fourteenth placed Fiorentina in the Italian Serie A. Parma fc have 38 points while Fiorentina have 40 points. In their recent two meetings Parma fc have won once away from home while both teams drew in the second match. Parma’s recent home form is one win, one draw and one loss, While Fiorentina have lost four matches and drawn one. Statistically Parma look to be the favorites with a home advantage.
CADIZ FC vs OSASUNA
This will be a match in the LaLiga 2 that will feature Cadiz fc who are at the top of the table with 77 points versus 6th placed Osasuna with 62 points. In their last four meetings Osasuna have won three matches while Cadiz fc managed to bag only one win. Cadiz have four draws and one win in their last five matches at home in comparison to their opponents Osasuna who have two wins, two draws and one win in their last five matches away from home. Osasuna look to be the favorites in this match although Cadiz fc have the home advantage.
FC ROSTOV vs ZENIT ST PETERSBURG
In the Russian league 8th placed Rostov who have 38 points meet League leaders Zenit st Petersburg who have 61 points. In their last five meetings Zenit have won two matches, Rostov have won once and both teams have registered a draw in two matches. Zenit are clearly the favorites having beat Rostov away from home in January by five goals to nil, even though they have won two games and drawn three in their last five matches away from home. As compared to Rostov who have won two games, drawn two games and lost one game in their last five home games.
LUGO vs DEPORTIVO LA CORUNA
Eighteenth placed Lugo who are fighting for relegation in LaLiga 2 face seventh placed Deportivo La coruna who have 61 points. Lugo have 41 points. In their recent two meetings both teams drew once and Deportivo La coruna won once. Lugo have two wins, two losses and one draw in their last five home matches, while Deportivo La coruna have three wins, one draw and one loss in their last five away matches. It will be a tough match even though Deportivo La coruna are the favorites.
CORDOBA vs GIMNASTIC TARRAGONA
These are two teams in the LaLIga 2 that both face relegation with a point apart. There won’t be much to fight for in this game although Gimnastic have won three matches as compared to Cordoba who have won two of their last five meetings. Gimnastic have registered a poor away form having lost all five of the recent away games. Which gives an upper hand to Cordoba who have recently won two and lost three of their home matches.
JUVENTUS vs ATALANTA
Italy’s Serie A League leaders Juventus will face fourth place Atalanta who are only one point away from third placed Inter. Therefore Atalanta will be going into this match with a winning mentality in order to go above inter on the table as the season is almost over. Juventus will most likely be relaxed as this match just looks like a formality to them as they have already won the title. This match could easily end in a draw or a win for either Juventus or Atalanta.
NAPOLI vs INTER
Second placed Napoli meet third place Inter with a ten point difference between them as the Italian serie A comes close to an end. The difference in points suggest that it won’t be a highly contested match, but Napoli are clearly the favorites in this match but Inter are clearly under pressure from Atalanta who are a point below them. Therefore they will be highly motivated to maintain their third place position. This is a match that could go anyways, thus a win for either teams or a draw as they inch closer to the end of the season.

Welcome to yet another SPORTPESA MEGAJACKPOT, POST-MATCH ANALYSIS – THE BREAKDOWN-7. We managed to get 9/17 correct predictions which were poor by our standards. There were close calls and red cards that threw some of the games off not to mention a mind boggling total of 6 draws with 3 of them coming in the last 4 matches: but as always, we like to take on any loss as a challenge to do better. With that in mind, below is the breakdown of the results as well as an in depth look of our research methodology in the hopes that with each loss we all gain a lesson that could potentially set us on our way back to the Sportpesa Megajackpot Bonus once again in the coming week.
Reading vs Millwall
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 3-1
Yakou Meite netted a brace for Reading as they eased the pressure on manager Paul Clement by beating fellow Championship strugglers Millwall. Meite headed Reading into the lead as he glanced in Tyler Blackett’s near-post cross but Murray Wallace levelled for Millwall within six minutes.
Clement’s side regained the lead on the stroke of half-time after Blackett was fouled by Mahlon Romeo in the penalty area. Sam Baldock converted from the spot, as Romeo was booked, and the Royals made the points safe when Meite headed in a Leandro Bacuna corner late on.
Reading’s first Championship victory in four games came courtesy of a gritty display and some notable saves from returning goalkeeper Anssi Jaakkola. The Finn was recalled between the sticks for the first time since March after injuries to Vito Mannone and Sam Walker.
Twice he denied Millwall an opener in the first 15 minutes with a one-on-one save from Lee Gregory before clawing a Jake Cooper header off his line. Before Meite broke the deadlock, Liam Kelly struck a post for Reading in the first half, while Tom Elliott headed an effort against the crossbar as Millwall searched for a leveller after the break. Jaakkola again proved solid when he blocked a close-range Shane Ferguson volley from Jed Wallace’s cross as Reading clinched an important victory.
We had gone for a home win based on head to head records as well as current form and it proved an accurate prediction.
Wigan vs West Brom
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 1-0
Josh Windass ended West Bromwich Albion’s seven-game unbeaten run to lift Wigan Athletic up to seventh in the Championship. Summer signing Windass got the only goal 16 minutes from time. Latching onto Nick Powell’s knockdown from Latics goalkeeper Christian Walton’s long clearance, he accelerated, then veered to his right past the last defender to drill low right-footed past Sam Johnstone.
Albion would have regained top spot with a point or better but failed to score in the league for only the second time this season.
Only a string of fine saves from Johnstone prevented Wigan winning by more and Albion ended with 10 men as Jake Livermore was sent off for a second yellow card late on. After a free-scoring few weeks, this defeat would have acted as a timely reminder to Albion that promotion back to the Premier League will not be straightforward.
Paul Cook’s Wigan proudly protected their own undefeated sequence – they have not lost in the league at the DW Stadium since February – and were unfortunate not to win by more. Despite hamstring injuries keeping out Latics attackers Will Grigg and Michael Jacobs, they created several chances and limited Albion – by far the Championship’s top scorers – to just one shot on target.
Albion’s front duo of Dwight Gayle (eight) and Jay Rodriguez (seven) had scored more than Wigan’s team (14) combined this season – but Windass levelled that statistic. The Latics dominated a feisty game that featured nine bookings, including Livermore’s pair of yellows, and Windass was denied three times by Johnstone before opening the scoring.
Johnstone also twice denied Gary Roberts, while Albion’s best chance of rescuing a point saw Ahmed Hegazi’s header hit the side netting late on.
We had gone for an away win based on their long unbeaten streak but it came to a crashing end over the weekend.

Nottingham vs Norwich
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 1-2
Timm Klose’s second-half double lifted Norwich City into the Championship play-off places at the expense of Nottingham Forest with a 2-1 win at the City Ground.
City, who inflicted Forest’s first home defeat since they lost to Brentford in April, had to come from behind to secure the points. Lewis Grabban crashed home a Joao Carvalho chipped pass to put Forest in front on five minutes. Despite the best efforts of Onel Hernandez, who hit a post, and Marco Stiepermann, who missed with the goal gaping, that was how it stayed until the second half.
On the hour, Klose headed in a Moritz Leitner free-kick to level and, with time ticking down, the Switzerland international then nudged a rebound from Jordan Rhodes’ shot past Costel Pantilimon for his third goal in as many games.
This was Forest’s first defeat in all competitions since their 2-1 away loss at Brentford on 1 September, and was the result of Aitor Karanka’s side failing to build on their early momentum as the Canaries forced their way back into the game.
They drop to eighth, two points behind Blackburn in sixth. In-form Forest forward Joe Lolley, who had three goals in his past four games, struck the crossbar soon after Grabban’s early goal, but the shift in possession and chances was noticeable after the break. City striker Rhodes imposed his presence on the game, keeping Pantilimon busy, and Klose’s timely brace ensured a return to winning ways and a first defeat against the Canaries for Reds boss Karanka.
We had based our pick on home ground advantage but Norwich made a stunning comeback to secure a memorable away victory.
Shrewsbury vs Sunderland
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 0-2
Sunderland scored twice in the second half to run out comfortable winners at Shrewsbury.
An own goal from Omar Beckles gave the visitors the lead before sub Luke O’Nien added a late second.
Shrewsbury created two early chances as Beckles nodded Alex Gilliead’s cross over the bar before a Luke Waterfall header from Shaun Whalley’s corner was saved by Sunderland goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin.
Visiting skipper Lee Cattermole volleyed Jerome Sinclair’s cross over the bar before Whalley’s curling free kick at the other end bounced up against the bar.
Sunderland made the breakthrough in the 58th minute as left-back Beckles turned a cross from Lynden Gooch into his own net.
Chris Maguire’s well-struck shot was kept out by home goalkeeper Joel Coleman shortly afterwards.
Beckles and sub Aaron Amadi-Holloway were both off target with headers as Shrewsbury chased an equaliser before O’Nien, having just been sent on by Black Cats manager Jack Ross, fired in a low shot to double Sunderland’s advantage six minutes from time.
We backed the black cats to carry the day and it proved an accurate prediction.

Cardiff vs Fulham
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 4-2
Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic said his side have “so many defensive problems to fix” after they slipped into the Premier League relegation zone with defeat at Cardiff. Andre Schurrle’s spectacular 30-yard strike put the visitors ahead against the run of play, but within 10 minutes they trailed against a resurgent Bluebirds side inspired by a fervent home crowd.
Josh Murphy equalised with a precise low finish, and then Bobby Reid seized on frenetic Fulham defending to slot in his first goal for the club – only for Ryan Sessegnon to make it 2-2 before the break. Fulham seemed to grow in confidence from that point, but Cardiff responded again, with Callum Paterson shooting on the turn to squeeze the ball into the bottom corner to make it 3-2.
Then, as the visitors went in search of a late equaliser, a slip from Tim Ream allowed Victor Camarasa to square the ball to Cardiff substitute Kadeem Harris, whose close-range finish prompted delirious celebrations among the home fans.
Cardiff’s first league win of the season lifted them off the bottom of the table and out of the relegation zone, while Fulham have now conceded 12 goals in their past three games.
Based on Fulham’s abysmal defensive record, we backed the home side to carry the day and they did run rampant against their London-based opponents.

Newcastle vs Brighton
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 0-1
Rafael Benitez said turning around Newcastle’s fortunes will be the toughest challenge of his career after slipping to the bottom of the Premier League following defeat by Brighton.
The Magpies remain winless after a fifth straight home loss thanks to Brighton’s Beram Kayal, who deflected in Jose Izquierdo’s strike in the 29th minute.
The Seagulls lost leading scorer Glenn Murray, who was taken off after a sickening aerial collision in the ninth minute. Brighton boss Chris Hughton later stated that the forward had been concussed but would leave hospital after having precautionary fans. But it did not put the visitors off their stride in a match where they spent most of the time defending.
Benitez said the Magpies needed to be “more precise and clinical” after producing 27 shots on goal, with only six on target. Midfielder Jonjo Shelvey went closest to scoring – first with a strike that was superbly blocked by Mat Ryan, then with a free-kick saved by the Australian with the help from his wall.
And despite saying he was confident he could turn things around, when asked if the current situation is the toughest he has faced, the Spaniard said: “Yes, at the moment, yes.” I have had a lot of situations, but at the moment, obviously it’s a difficult task.”
The result means Newcastle are the fourth team in top-flight history to lose their first five home games of a season – the other three teams were relegated.
We had backed the home side to get their 1st win of the season based on their 1st half performance against the red devils but they were once again poor and deserved no points.
Hull City vs Preston
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 1-1
Hull City missed a chance to move out of the Championship relegation zone as fellow strugglers Preston North End grabbed a late equaliser. The Tigers hit the woodwork three times through Kamil Grosicki, Chris Martin and Jarrod Bowen and saw Preston goalkeeper Chris Maxwell pull off a string of saves.
Bowen then put the Tigers ahead from the penalty spot five minutes from time after Lilywhites centre-back Jordan Storey had brought down Martin. But Preston hit back in the third minute of stoppage time when Louis Moult brought the ball down, turned and fired in to extend the visitors’ unbeaten run to three games.
Hull had failed to score in three of their past four games heading into the match and looked like they would draw another blank until Bowen broke the deadlock from 12 yards. After Alan Brown and Lukas Nmecha spurned early chances for North End, Poland international Grosicki’s fierce strike came back off the upright and Martin hit the bar with a header.
Maxwell denied Bowen from Grosicki’s cutback after the break and the influential Pole had two more attempts saved before Maxwell deflected another Bowen effort onto the post. The forward’s fourth goal of the campaign seemed set to give Nigel Adkins’ side a first win in six games but substitute Moult struck to share the spoils.
Alex Neil’s Preston move out of the bottom three on goal difference after Millwall lost at Reading, while Hull climb off the bottom having won more games than Ipswich Town, who return to the foot of the table.
Wycombe vs Scunthorpe
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 3-2
Craig Mackail-Smith completed a remarkable Wycombe comeback by scoring an injury-time winner as the ten-man Chairboys recovered from two goals down to beat Scunthorpe.
Mackail-Smith punished a mistake from defender Rory McArdle, racing clear before finishing expertly past Jak Alnwick. It looked like Wycombe would settle for a valiant point after Fred Onyedinma curled home from 20 yards on 53 minutes to make it 2-2 after good hold-up play by Adebayo Akinfenwa.
Scunthorpe had started the game in lightning fashion with two goals in the opening seven minutes as they threatened to run riot. Ryan Colclough scored after just 18 seconds, cutting in from the left and firing past a stranded Ryan Allsop.
Stephen Humphrys made it 2-0 in double-quick time, clinically slotting past the Wycombe keeper. However, Dominic Gape gave Wycombe hope with a brilliant finish on 26 minutes to reduce their arrears. Allsop was sent off with 10 minutes to go after being given a straight red for a foul on Ike Ugbo before Mackail-Smith’s deserved winner.
We had backed the home team based on h2h records and it proved accurate.
Crawley Town vs Newport
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 4-1
Crawley closed in on the League Two play-off places with an impressive win over promotion-hunting Newport County. Joe Maguire struck for the hosts inside a minute from a Lewis Young cross. Jamille Matt levelled, but Filipe Morais’ penalty restored Crawley’s lead after Ollie Palmer was brought down.
Palmer’s header and Ashley Nathaniel-George’s solo goal stretched Crawleys’ lead, before County’s Fraser Franks was shown a straight red card for a bad foul on Nathaniel-George.
Yeovil vs Tranmere
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 0-0
Yeovil and Tranmere played out a goalless draw as neither side did enough to secure all three points in their League Two clash at Huish Park. Yeovil arguably had the better of the few opportunities in the game as a flicked header from Alex Fisher in the first half was tipped over by Scott Davies.
After the break, the Glovers went reasonably close again as a cross from Jake Gray turned into a shot and, with Davies stranded, Luke McCoulough expertly headed away from under his own bar.
Yoann Arquin perhaps should have done better with a Carl Dickinson free-kick that found him in the box but he could only put it wide, while Tom James had Davies worried with a free-kick of his own which the Tranmere goalkeeper tried to catch but could only push over the bar.
James Norwood did have a chance for the visitors deep into added time but despite having eight league goals already this season only rolled his tame effort into the hands of a thankful Nathan Baxter.
We had backed these two to settle for a point each based on current form and it proved an accurate prediction.
Ipswich vs QPR
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 0-2
Queens Park Rangers eased to victory at Championship strugglers Ipswich Town to increase the pressure on Tractor Boys manager Paul Hurst. The visitors went ahead when Town keeper Dean Gerken fumbled Luke Freeman’s corner into his own net.
Rangers doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time through Tomer Hemed’s penalty after Eberechi Eze was felled in the box by Toto Nsiala. Gerken denied Eze and Hemed after the break, while England Under-20 forward Eze also clipped the bar with a shot from the edge of the box as Rangers dominated.
Ipswich have won just once in the league this season under Hurst and are yet to register a home victory since the former Shrewsbury boss took charge at Portman Road this summer. The Suffolk side rarely threatened Joe Lumley in the QPR goal, with a Grant Ward header their only effort on target.
It proved to be a comfortable afternoon for the west Londoners once they took the lead from Freeman’s set-piece, as Steve McClaren’s side made it three games without defeat. Ipswich remain one point from safety despite the loss but drop to the bottom of the table, slipping behind Hull City on games won.
Plymouth vs Burton
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 2-3
Burton defender Kyle McFadzean scored twice as Nigel Clough’s side claimed their first League One away win of the season at basement side Plymouth. Unmarked McFadzean headed home Stephen Quinn’s 84th-minute free-kick at the near post to put the Brewers ahead for the first time in an enthralling game. Argyle striker Freddie Ladapo scored twice in the first half, opening the scoring with a superb shot from just inside the box that beat the diving Dimitar Evtimov after nine minutes.
McFadzean levelled in the 19th minute, heading home from a corner after Ben Turner nodded back across goal from the far post. Ladapo pounced on a Quinn backpass to round Evtimov and score his second after 35 minutes.
But just moments later Albion again restored parity from a corner, Lucas Akins heading home Jamie Allen’s 39th-minute delivery. Ladapo – who should have had a hat-trick – played his part in defence, clearing McFadzean’s goal-bound header off the line following another corner but the defender would not be denied six minutes from time.

Derby vs Sheffield Utd
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 2-1
A goal after 19 seconds helped Derby County deny Sheffield United the chance to go top of the Championship, as the Blades’ four-match winning run ended with defeat at Pride Park.
Rams striker Jack Marriott’s clever, flicked finish won the game for Frank Lampard’s hosts with 13 minutes to play. Derby had led inside the first minute when Craig Bryson completed a good team move, but Chris Basham tucked United level before half-time.
The hosts pressed for a winner, before Marriott’s second goal in two starts sent them up to fifth. The win was Derby’s first since their Carabao Cup victory on penalties at Manchester United in September and their sixth of the league season, moving them four points behind the second-placed Blades.
The visitors would have gone top with a draw, after defeats for promotion-chasing Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion earlier on Saturday. Chris Wilder’s men played some well-worked football in the first half, culminating with Basham’s equaliser, after John Fleck had beaten four Derby players before squaring the ball to the centre-half at the far post.
But Martyn Waghorn should have headed Derby back in front moments later and then they had the better of the second half, before Marriott darted in at the near post and diverted home to end United’s five-match unbeaten streak.
Strasbourg vs Monaco
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 2-1
Thierry Henry’s first game as a manager ended in defeat as his Monaco side were beaten 2-1 at Strasbourg in Ligue 1. Frenchman Henry, 41, saw his side go behind when goalkeeper Seydou Sy fumbled an Adrien Thomasson header.
It got worse for the visitors when Samuel Grandsir saw red for a high foot, before Strasbourg substitute Lebo Mothiba made it two for the home side. Youri Tielemans’ late penalty was only a consolation, with Monaco above bottom club Guingamp on goal difference.
Their six-point tally from 10 games this season is also the club’s worst start since the 1953-54 season. The result sees Strasbourg rise to sixth in the table, with the principality side left to focus on Wednesday’s Champions League group match at Club Brugge. Former France and Arsenal star Henry, who began his playing career at Monaco and helped them win Ligue 1 in 1997, was assistant manager of Belgium before joining the eight-time French champions.
We had backed Monaco to continue on their downward spiral despite their new coach and it proved to be accurate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBGFuDoeHOs
Rayo Vallecano vs Getafe
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 1-2
What started out as a rather timid 1st half ended up as a thrilling clash in the 2nd between these two Spanish sides in the La Liga. This one had it all as it had both a sending off as well as an own goal that ended up as the match winner.
The game came to life in and around the 63rd minute when the visitors broke the deadlock courtesy of a Dimitri Foulquier goal that sent the away fans into ecstasy. Their joy was doubled when Sergio Akieme found the back of the net albeit on the wrong end to put the visitors two goals up with 20 minutes to go.
The hosts did pull one back via Raul De Tomas but it was a case of a little too late and their evening got even worse as Oscar Trejo was given his matching orders during extra time. The visitors then held on to a vital win in their quest for survival in the Spanish La Liga.
Inter vs AC Milan
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 1-0
Inter Milan Captain, Mauro Icardi, scored a dramatic injury-time winner as they beat city rivals AC Milan at the San Siro in Serie A.
The 222nd Milan derby was petering out before the Argentine striker headed in Matias Vecino’s cross. Inter – who lost Radja Nainggolan to a first-half injury – were deserved winners, but it was a lacklustre game.
The closest either side came before the winner was Inter’s Stefan de Vrij hitting the post from close range. Icardi – who only touched the ball 15 times in the entire game – and AC Milan’s Mateo Musacchio both had goals correctly disallowed for offside. Inter move up to third with the victory – with AC Milan remaining 12th.

Welcome to yet another SPORTPESA MEGAJACKPOT, POST-MATCH ANALYSIS – THE BREAKDOWN-5. We managed to get 7/17 correct predictions which were poor by our standards. There were close calls and stunning comebacks that threw some of the games off not to mention simply shocking results but in the end; we like to take on any loss as a challenge to do better. We may have had our poorest performance ever in the last week but this has only spurred us to dig even deeper to ensure that we bounce back in a huge way in this week’s sportpesa megajackpot. With that in mind, below is the breakdown of the results as well as an in-depth look at our research methodology in the hopes that with each loss we all gain a lesson that could potentially set us on our way back to the Sportpesa Megajackpot Bonus once again in the coming week.

Newcastle vs Leicester
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 0-2
Newcastle’s miserable start to the season continued as goals from Jamie Vardy and Harry Maguire gave Leicester a comfortable away victory.
In a game of few chances, striker Vardy broke the deadlock from the penalty spot on the half-hour mark after DeAndre Yedlin handled a Maguire shot. With England manager Gareth Southgate watching at St James’ Park, defender Maguire doubled the Foxes’ lead with a second-half header.
Newcastle remains without a win this season, and fans made their anger known in chants aimed at owner Mike Ashley throughout the game. Ricardo Pereira had the first chance to open the scoring for Leicester, cleverly cutting infield before his shot – destined for the bottom corner – was pushed wide by Martin Dubravka.
Vardy found a way through, though – coolly slotting home his third goal of the season. Jonjo Shelvey went closest for Newcastle in the first half with a speculative lob from his own half which a back-tracking Kasper Schmeichel only just kept out.
The hosts looked more positive in the second half, but Maguire’s second goal of the season consigned them to their fifth defeat of 2018-19. We had backed the home side to at least get a point as they needed it badly but they just weren’t good enough on the day.
Millwall vs Sheffield Utd
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 2-3
David McGoldrick’s late double gave Sheffield United a come-back win after a frantic finale at Millwall. Billy Sharp headed the Blades in front with his sixth goal of the season from close range, moments after Ben Amos had turned Sharp’s penalty onto the bar following a handball by Shaun Williams.
Millwall turned the game on its head within the first five minutes of the second half, Cooper heading in the equaliser from Williams’ corner, before Ryan Leonard – on loan from the Blades – set Lee Gregory clear to slot past Dean Henderson.
David McGoldrick levelled from the spot after Williams conceded a second penalty for a shove on Mark Duffy, and then tapped in a late winner.
An unchanged United arrived in good form with five wins from seven, but with a poor record at the Den following 11 defeats in their previous 14 visits. However, even without Sharp’s penalty miss, the visitors held a deserved lead at half-time after creating the best chances and enjoying two-thirds of the possession.
Leonard was allowed to start for Millwall after a clause to prevent him playing against his parent club was not included in his loan deal, and inevitably, the midfielder had an impact by setting up the Lions’ second as the hosts made a lightning start to the second half.
But Millwall could not hold on under increasing pressure for a precious second win of the season, with Sharp also seeing a headed goal disallowed for offside before McGoldrick snatched the winner from Duffy’s assist.
United, who have lost just once in eight matches, remained fourth, but moved within a point of new leaders West Brom, while the Lions, who have lost six of their last seven in the league, drop to second-bottom.
We had backed the away side to carry the day based on current form and it proved an accurate prediction as they rallied to stage a stunning comeback and secure maximum points.
Swansea vs QPR
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 3-0
Swansea beat Queens Park Rangers in impressive fashion to end their recent barren run in front of goal. Courtney Baker-Richardson scored his first senior goal and could have had a hat-trick before the break as the hosts dominated throughout the contest.
QPR showed signs of recovering in the second half before Connor Roberts and Jay Fulton struck late to give the Swans a first win in four matches. Swansea had failed to score in their previous three fixtures, a drought of 291 minutes which saw them start this match as the joint-second lowest scorers in the Championship.
Manager Graham Potter made some creative tweaks to his team in order to arrest that slump, handing striker Baker-Richardson only his second league start and deploying usual centre-forward Oli McBurnie just behind him in the number 10 role. It proved an inspired change, with both players combining to put the Swans ahead after a quarter of an hour.
Following patient build-up in midfield, right-back Kyle Naughton swung a deep cross towards the back post, where McBurnie nodded the ball back across goal to Baker-Richardson, who showed agility and poise to hook in from close range. The 22-year-old should have doubled his and Swansea’s lead less than two minutes later but, after a sweeping move which presented him with an open goal, Baker-Richardson somehow managed to launch the ball over the bar.
Another chance came and went before half-time as Baker-Richardson fired straight at QPR keeper Joe Lumley from close range, and there was a creeping sense at the Liberty Stadium that Swansea would soon need to start taking their opportunities or risk squandering what seemed like three points there for the taking.
The visitors grew into the game after the break, with Nakhi Wells and strike partner Tomer Hemed getting into promising positions on more than one occasion. But QPR failed to build on that improvement, and Swansea eventually made sure of victory. Roberts scored a smart first goal for the club, cutting inside on to his apparently weaker left foot and finishing powerfully, via a deflection.
Substitute midfielder Fulton then added a third soon after, his drive also taking a touch on its way in to seal a handsome win.
Rochdale vs Portsmouth
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 1-3
Portsmouth moved to the top of League One after coming from behind to beat Rochdale at the Crown Oil Arena. The home side stormed into the lead after just three minutes with a stunning strike from Aaron Wilbraham.
The experienced striker, who joined Dale in the summer from Bolton, opened his account for the club with a dipping 25-yard volley which flew over Craig MacGillivray and beneath the Pompey goalkeeper’s crossbar.
Nathan Thompson was close to equalising when his stinging drive struck the bar but Portsmouth deservedly drew level in the 25th minute when Brett Pitman’s clever turn and pass across the face of goal was turned in by Jamal Lowe.
Dale goalkeeper Josh Lillis denied Kenny Jackett’s men a second before the interval when he kept out Ronan Curtis’ close-range effort. MacGillivray denied Ollie Rathbone and Andy Cannon before Pompey edged ahead in the 70th minute when Lee Brown’s cross to the near post was flicked into the net by Pitman. And it was 3-1 10 minutes from time when Matt Clarke smashed an unstoppable drive into the roof of Lillis’ net from a Curtis corner.
Bradford City vs Bristol Rovers
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 0-0
Bradford ended their five-match losing run with a scrappy draw against Bristol Rovers at Valley Parade. It was the first point for new manager David Hopkin, who had also seen the Bantams lose his first three matches in charge.
Bradford struggled to clear the danger after Rovers forced a corner on the left in the fifth minute and when the ball came to Ed Upson, the visitors’ defender struck the upright with a left-foot shot. In the 24th minute Bradford striker George Miller won a tussle with Tom Lockyer after chasing a long ball and raced 30 yards before beating keeper Jack Bonham with an angled shot only to see the ball rebound from the post.
Bradford twice came close taking the lead in the 64th minute. Sean Scannell hit the post after being put through on goal by substitute Jack Payne and the ball rebounded to Eoin Doyle, whose shot was cleared off the line by Tony Craig.
Home goalkeeper Richard Donnell kept his side in the match with a superb save in the 83rd minute. Visiting substitute Liam Sercombe fired low through a crowded goalmouth from the edge of the penalty area and Donnell dived full length to turn away the ball away for a corner.
Wycombe vs Southend
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 2-3
Wycombe’s miserable winless home run continued as they were beaten by Southend in League One. The hosts fought back and scored a double late on to make it an exciting finish, but Southend were worthy victors.
Theo Robinson broke the deadlock for Southend, tapping home in the 38th minute following a smart cross from Tom Hopper. Earlier, Robinson had missed a sitter when he headed over from close range and was then denied by a great save from Ryan Allsop after he had turned neatly and fired in low.
The Chairboys almost levelled before the break when Matt Bloomfield’s effort was well saved by Mark Oxley. Southend then doubled their lead eight minutes after the restart when Hopper smashed Ben Coker’s cross into the roof of the net. Five minutes later it was three when Simon Cox fired home clinically into the corner after being sent through by Jason Demetriou.
It was almost four when Coker saw a far-post strike bravely blocked by Jason McCarthy. Wycombe substitute Craig Mackail-Smith volleyed home a late goal before Adebayo Akinfenwa pounced from close range in the 86th minute to ensure a tense final few minutes for Southend, but they held on.
Preston vs West Brom
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 2-3
West Brom boss Darren Moore promised there was “more to come” from his side after they moved to the top of the Championship table with victory at Preston.
After Ryan Ledson hit the post for North End in the first half, Rodriguez headed home Jake Livermore’s cross. Preston drew level when Andrew Hughes curled home the free-kick, but a Ben Davies own goal restored Albion’s lead.
Gayle made it three with a free-kick of his own before Alan Browne headed Preston’s second in added time.The victory puts West Brom one point clear of Leeds, Middlesbrough and Sheffield United, while Preston dropped to the bottom with only five points from 10 games.
Plymouth vs Doncaster
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 2-3
Doncaster striker John Marquis celebrated his 100th league appearance with a brace as in-form Rovers beat winless League One basement side Plymouth Argyle to move third. Marquis capped a man-of-the-match performance with a 90th-minute solo goal, rounding goalkeeper Matt Macey before scoring from an acute angle to take his tally to nine for the season.
Marquis fired Doncaster ahead after 18 minutes, cutting in from the left to unleash an unstoppable angled drive into the far corner past Argyle’s on-loan Arsenal keeper Macey. Ruben Lameiras equalised with a superb dipping shot from the edge of the box after 40 minutes, but Matty Blair coolly side-footed Doncaster back in front in the 57th minute from Mallik Wilks’ right-wing cross.
Marquis pinged a rising 20-yard drive off a post after 35 minutes and also sent a volley on the spin over the bar early in the second half. And after Marquis had made it 3-1, Argyle playmaker Graham Carey still had time to score with a thumping strike in stoppage time, beating Rovers keeper Marko Marosi at his near post.
Port Vale vs Exeter
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 1-1
Substitute Idris Kanu scored a dramatic late equaliser to earn Port Vale a draw with Exeter at Vale Park. League Two promotion hopefuls Exeter led when Nicky Law netted after the break, only for Kanu’s efforts deep into added time to save the day for the hosts.
Having started well, Vale went close when Tom Pope headed at Exeter keeper Christy Pym and Ricky Miller dragged an effort wide. Law then squandered a brilliant opening for Exeter, shooting over from eight yards out. Exeter were indebted to Pym with two minutes of the first half left as the Grecians stopper pushed Tom Conlon’s 25-yard shot on to the crossbar.
Law steered the visitors into the lead three minutes after half-time when he connected with Hiram Boateng’s low cross from the right to tap home from close range. Neil Aspin’s Valiants pushed for a way back into the contest, seeing chances go begging from Miller and Ben Whitfield. However, with time rapidly running out, Kanu headed in from close range following a goalmouth scramble to earn a point.
Crawley Town vs Yeovil
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 3-1
Second-half goals from Ashley Nathaniel-George and Filipe Morais helped Crawley earn their third win in four games with victory over Yeovil Town. The Reds, who have scored in every home game since Boxing Day, have now won both home matches since Gabriele Cioffi took charge. Crawley keeper Glen Morris came to his side`s rescue early on by parrying a goal-bound shot from Olufela Olomola after good work by Alex Pattison.
Former Lincoln striker Ollie Palmer struck to give the hosts the lead on 26 minutes with his sixth of the season. Palmer stabbed the ball home at the far post after a cross by Lewis Young has helped on by Luke Gambin.
Yeovil hit back to level three minutes before the break through Carl Dickinson, who fired low passed Morris after a pass by Olomola. Recalled Crawley midfielder Mark Randall dragged a shot wide shortly after the break when set up by Gambin.
Palmer should have tested keeper Nathan Baxter before Olomola shot narrowly wide at the other end following a strong run. Substitute Nathaniel-George restored Crawley`s lead in superb style by rifling home in the 68th minute from 25 yards. Frenchman Morais then sealed victory deep into added time with a well-placed shot after being fed by Nathaniel-George.
Hamilton vs Dundee FC
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 0-2
Dundee finally earned their first Scottish Premiership points of the season by edging Hamilton Academical. Andy Boyle headed in the opener from a Calvin Miller free-kick and Karl Madianga sealed the win in injury time. The victory brings Dundee’s seven-game losing streak to a halt and sends them to within a point of Motherwell and St Mirren, easing a little of the pressure on manager Neil McCann.
Hamilton hit the bar twice and Fredrik Brustad missed from point-blank range. For weeks, Dundee have looked comfortable on the ball without threatening and there was a lot of that here, too – comfortable passing play, little penetration.
They were still painfully wasteful for long spells. Ryan Inniss and Adil Nabi squandered second-half chances at a time when McCann’s men were firmly in the ascendancy, feeding off the confidence engendered by Boyle’s opener.
The saving grace for Dundee was that Hamilton were equally profligate. Brustad’s miss was spectacular, screwing a delicious Rakish Bingham cross wide inside the six-yard box. Bingham himself bent a free-kick just off-target soon after, James Keatings cracked the crossbar with another set-piece, and Mason Bloomfield hit it again with a header in the dying minutes.
Dundee rocked, but held on to their clean sheet. And as Hamilton pressed in desperation, they struck the killer blow. Madianga took up a good position, and when the ball found him, he swept it into the net. But despite the defeat, Martin Canning’s side remains in ninth place with six points.

Chelsea vs Liverpool
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 1-1
Sturridge’s spectacular late equaliser was another reminder that beneath the injury problems and time on the sidelines lurks arguably England’s most naturally gifted striker. The last time he played at Stamford Bridge was on 12 January during a miserable loan spell with West Bromwich Albion. He limped off with a hamstring injury after only four minutes and did not play a full game for the rest of the season.
This was a different story. Liverpool had tried just about everything and missed all manner of chances when Sturridge, with as much nonchalance as brilliance, looked up and sent a 25-yard finish in an arc past the stretching Kepa. Sturridge combines athleticism and in-bred goal scoring instinct, as he proved with his bicycle kick in midweek, and would be a certainty for Gareth Southgate’s England squad if he could string together a sequence of games.
As Sturridge walked off, taking the acclaim from Liverpool’s fans, he cut a stark contrast with Salah, who did not last much longer than an hour against his former club and continues to struggle for form. It is hardly crisis time for the Egyptian, who was never likely to repeat his 44-goal feat of last season, but he looks low on confidence – although he possesses such quality it is surely only a matter of time before he returns to his best.
Salah had three opportunities in the first half, with one finish weak and another wayward before he was denied by Antonio Rudiger’s superb goalline clearance.
It simply was not his day; a fact accepted by Klopp as last term’s talisman was removed and replaced by Xherdan Shaqiri midway through the second half. Hazard, as he had at Anfield in midweek, threatened to be the difference between two very good teams as he punished Liverpool once more when he raced away and finished across Alisson in the first half.
He is, without argument, in the highest echelon of players in the world and his quality was reflected in the reaction of Klopp on several occasions when his side presented possession to the Belgian in dangerous positions.
Each time, Klopp clasped his hands to his Liverpool cap in a mixture of exasperation and anxiety, already well aware of the damage Hazard can do. Put simply, if Hazard continues this form, Chelsea and Sarri have every chance of challenging for honours this season.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Dortmund
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 2-4
Borussia Dortmund scored four times in the last 25 minutes to come from two goals down and beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-2 on Saturday to climb top of the Bundesliga.
Goals from Jacob Bruun Larsen in the 65th minute, Marco Reus in the 69th and two from Paco Alcacer in the last five minutes overturned a 2-0 lead by Bayer Leverkusen after first-half goals from Mitchell Weiser and Jonathan Tah.
Spaniard Alcacer, who joined from Barcelona this season, had come on as a substitute in the 63rd minute. Dortmund now has 14 points, one ahead of champions Bayern Munich, who suffered their first defeat of the season on Friday with a 2-0 loss at Hertha Berlin.
“We kept believing we can turn this around,” said Dortmund coach Lucien Favre. “I think it was a fantastic game for the fans. “We put in a good start. Now we are at the top of the table after six match days. Obviously we are satisfied.”
Reims vs Bordeaux
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 0-0
The hosts having played 7 matches came into this encounter in position 14 with 8 points in the 2018-2019 French ligue 1. Their opponents on the other hand, having played 7 matches are at position 10 with 10 points.
The two teams had met a total of 9 times in the past, Reims having won 4 times. Bordeaux 1 time and 4 matches ending as draws which was the eventual outcome in what was a rather lacklustre and forgettable match.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__JCUYEqxAM
Huesca vs Girona
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 1-1
This Sunday’s game saw two of La Liga’s smaller clubs meet. Girona were looking to build on an excellent first season in the top flight while Huesca were doing their upmost to emulate them.
Girona had already shown enough to suggest last season was no one-off but they did come into this following a disappointing home defeat against Betis. While Huesca made a bright start and haven’t played terribly in their matches since, there have been a few too many moments at both ends of the pitch where they’ve looked a bit short on the quality needed to succeed at this level. Defensive lapses and poor finishing had blighted their recent games and four straight defeats at this stage has to be cause for concern when you are a newly promoted team trying to find your feet in the top flight.
With Huesca pointless at home so far and Girona unbeaten in 5 away league games, the value certainly looked to lie with the visitors but we backed the home team to get its first point at home this season and that seemed to be the case as the teams settled for a draw with both goals coming from the penalty spot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5wcU7eEmB0
Bologna vs Udinese
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 2-1
The hosts had made a terrible start, but they did claim their first goals and three points of the season last weekend. Success against Roma was a huge result for Pippo Inzaghi’s men, and their 2-0 win over the Giallorossi felt like a turning point. It was unlucky for them to face Juve straight after, but they were looking to hopefully carry their form from last weekend over to this one. They weren’t humiliated at the champions, and a 2-0 defeat there is a better fate than many sides will have in Turin this season. However, the hosts needed points, so they couldn’t let this weekend’s opportunity slip.
The issue for the hosts ahead of such a big game was their defensive struggles. They hadn’t been too convincing on the clean sheet front, while they conceded in 79% of their home matches last season. This raised concerns, because Udinese aren’t an easy side to handle on the road. They hit 24 goals on their travels last season, finding the net in 79% of their trips. They scored at every bottom half side, and so far the Zebrette had four goals in three trips.
Bologna had started to pick up their scoring form, and we felt that they would be able to find the target this weekend. A goal from Santander and a late winner by Orsolini was enough to seal the victory for the hosts while the visitors got their consolation via an Ignacio Pussetto goal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQoN7FpyGq8
Cardiff vs Burnley
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 1-2
Burnley continued their Premier League revival, securing back-to-back wins for the first time since April with a 2-1 victory at struggling Cardiff on super Sunday. Second-half strikes from Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Wales international Sam Vokes were enough to secure the win for Sean Dyche’s men, who now find themselves 12th in the table having overcome a difficult start to the campaign.
Josh Murphy broke his Cardiff duck with his first Premier League goal to equalise on the hour, but Vokes’ winner confirmed a fourth consecutive defeat for Neil Warnock’s side. It means Cardiff, who remain second-bottom in the Premier League, is without a win from their first seven games back in the top flight.
There were a total of 8 away wins, 5 draws and 4 home wins in last week’s Sportpesa Megajackpot which was won by one lucky individual.

Welcome to yet another SPORTPESA MEGAJACKPOT, POST-MATCH ANALYSIS – THE BREAKDOWN 2021. We managed to get 7/17 correct predictions which were poor by our standards. There were close calls and red cards that threw some of the games off not to mention a mind boggling total of 8 draws with 7 of them coming in the last 8 matches: but as always, we like to take on any loss as a challenge to do better. With that in mind, below is the breakdown of the results as well as an in-depth look at our research methodology in the hopes that with each loss we all gain a lesson that could potentially set us on our way back to the Sportpesa Mega jackpot Bonus once again in the coming week.
Bournemouth vs Leicester
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 4-2
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe says his side are far from the finished article despite going fifth in the Premier League with a 4-2 win over Leicester. The hosts were well in control by half-time, with Joshua King adding a penalty to two goals from Ryan Fraser. Adam Smith then made it 4-0 before James Maddison and Marc Albrighton replied late on for the Foxes, who had Wes Morgan sent off in the second half.
Bournemouth had mostly looked comfortable until Leicester’s belated resurgence, although Asmir Begovic produced a brilliant double save to deny Jamie Vardy and James Maddison while the score was only 1-0.
But the late goals flattered Claude Puel’s side, who slip back to ninth after a second consecutive defeat. Fraser’s first goal was a curling shot round Kasper Schmeichel’s left hand from outside the box, and his second a poke through the Leicester keeper’s legs.
Ricardo Pereira’s handball gave King the chance to extend the lead from the spot, and Fraser was involved again when his pull-back set up Smith to score on his 100th Premier League appearance.
Huddersfield vs Crystal Palace
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 0-1
Wilfried Zaha produced a moment of brilliance on his return to the team as Crystal Palace earned their second win of the season against Huddersfield.
Halfway through September is far too early to be labeling matches six-pointers, but this was an encounter with a fiery edge to it from the start.
It looked as though it might be a frustrating afternoon for Zaha, who missed Palace’s defeat to Southampton before the international break with a groin injury after he was booked for a late tackle on Florent Hadergjonaj.
That foul was a reaction to being hauled to the ground by Mathias Jorgensen, but Zaha regained his composure and in the 38th minute knocked the ball between two defenders before smashing past Jonas Lossl.
The hosts offered a threat in the second half, flooding the Palace box with high crosses, and Aaron Mooy came close to finding the equalizer only to see his well-struck volley clatter off a post.
Huddersfield’s wait for their first win of the season continues but Palace moves up to 11th in the table.
Bristol City vs Sheffield Utd
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 1-0
Bristol City extended their winning run to four Championship games with a victory over Sheffield United thanks to Marley Watkins’ late-headed goal.
The 27-year-old attacker, a summer signing from Norwich, guided in Callum O’Dowda’s cross with a deft flick to register his second goal in as many games.
The Blades bossed possession throughout and saw David McGoldrick miss a host of first-half opportunities. But the home team improved after half-time and should have already been ahead before the late winner.
City head coach Lee Johnson had made the bold decision to switch his formation to 3-5-2 to match up against the visitors, who had won on their last three visits to Ashton Gate. Robin’s keeper Niki Maenpaa produced a smart save to keep out John Lundstram’s piledriver early in the second half.
Johnson then abandoned his change of shape on the hour, altering the course of the game. Famara Diedhiou – making his first start of the season after serving a six-match ban for spitting – passed up a great chance to break the deadlock, firing horribly wide after being sent clear by Marlon Pack’s pass.
Pack then called for a penalty when his goal-bound attempt seemed to strike an arm in the box, but City was celebrating Watkins’ winning goal just 60 seconds later. The fourth straight win takes City up to third in the early Championship table, while United drops to fifth.
Bolton vs QPR
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 1-2
Queens Park Rangers won on the road for the first time in nine games to condemn Bolton to defeat in the week they avoided administration.
Forward Luke Freeman scored the opener and then created another for Steve McClaren’s side at the University of Bolton stadium, where the hosts this week agreed on a rescue deal to pay off their main creditor. Freeman slammed the ball home after a brilliant pull-back by Nahki Wells in the first half, then crossed for Eberechi Eze to score from 12 yards after the break.
Trotters substitute Josh Magennis pulled one back with a 20-yard free-kick, but it was not enough for Phil Parkinson’s spirited side who dominated the closing stages.
It meant the Londoners have taken seven points from the last nine available and extended their unbeaten run to four games across all competitions.
Norwich vs Middlesbrough
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 1-0
Middlesbrough suffered their first Championship defeat of the season and conceded their first league goal since the opening day as Norwich prevailed at Carrow Road.
The hosts had the better of a low-key first half but Boro had the best chance as Jonny Howson’s turn and shot was well stopped by Canaries keeper Tim Krul.
Norwich took a deserved lead when Emi Buendia teed up Finland striker Teemu Pukki to poke in his fourth goal in five home games for the club.
Boro boss Tony Pulis brought on George Saville for his debut but the visitors were unable to find a way past Dutchman Krul, who saved superbly from fellow sub-Martin Brathwaite.
The victory gave Daniel Farke’s Norwich just their second league triumph of the season, while Middlesbrough fell from second to fourth in the table after this maiden loss.
The Canaries were without captain Grant Hanley through injury but shut out their opponents and ended their run of five league clean sheets in a row, becoming the first team to score a second-half goal against Boro this term.
Summer signing Pukki continued his scoring streak, having netted winners in both of Finland’s Nations League games over the international break.
Norwich – who have now alternated between a win and a defeat in their last nine home Championship games – have won their last four matches against Middlesbrough in all competitions without conceding.
Bradford City vs Charlton
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 0-2
Charlton spoiled new head coach David Hopkin’s first home match in charge of Bradford with an impressive victory at Valley Parade.
To complete a miserable afternoon for the Bradford boss, both he and one of his assistants, Greg Abbott, were booked by referee Jeremy Simpson during a frantic second half as the Bantams tried in vain to force an equalizer. It was Bradford’s fourth defeat in a row – a result that sees them slip into the relegation zone.
Charlton went ahead in the third minute when the home defence failed to cut out Lewis Page’s long ball into the inside channel for striker Karlan Ahearne-Grant to latch on to before slotting home a cool finish.
Bradford dominated the start of the second half and had a claim for a penalty when defender Jason Pearce appeared to pull back Ryan McGowan, but the referee turned down their appeals – a decision that led to Hopkin being booked for protesting.
However, Charlton put the result beyond doubt when Lyle Taylor doubled their advantage with a superb angled effort into the far corner.
Peterborough vs Portsmouth
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 1-2
Portsmouth moved above opponents Peterborough to the top of League One after their victory at London Road.
Ronan Curtis, on his return from international duty with the Republic of Ireland, set up both of Pompey’s second-half goals. Oliver Hawkins and Jamal Lowe put the visitors in charge of the top-of-the-table clash before Ivan Toney teed up Matt Godden four minutes into stoppage time for consolation.
The opener arrived when winger Curtis battled past Joe Ward down the left and crossed for Hawkins to loop a header into the far corner for his first goal of the season.
The second goal arrived 13 minutes later and followed a poor pass from home center-back Rhys Bennett which found Curtis. A quick break saw Hawkins clip over a cross from the right which was headed by Curtis to Lowe, who fired in. Godden’s late strike could not prevent Posh’s first league defeat of the season, in front of a bumper crowd.
Shrewsbury vs Southend
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 2-0
Shrewsbury recorded their first League One win of the season as Greg Docherty and Lee Angol netted against Southend. We had backed the home team to win based on h2h records and it proved accurate.
Shrewsbury’s bright start was rewarded with a fifth-minute breakthrough as Docherty, on loan from Rangers, was picked out by Alex Gilliead’s cross from the left and fired a powerful shot high into the net.
Shaun Whalley and Angol then went close for the home side before Southend almost forced an equalizer. Timothee Dieng’s header was well saved by goalkeeper Joel Coleman before he impressed again to stop a close-range effort from Simon Cox.
Shrewsbury doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time as the visitors were unable to clear Whalley’s corner and striker Angol drilled home a low shot from close range.
Shrewsbury might have had a third early in the second half but visiting goalkeeper David Stockdale did well to keep out Angol’s header with his feet. Southend enjoyed plenty of possession but found chances hard to come by.
Walsall vs Doncaster
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 1-4
Doncaster came from behind to claim a thumping win at Walsall as the hosts’ unbeaten League One start to the season bit the dust.
Walsall threatened early as Luke Leahy’s defense-splitting pass freed Josh Ginnelly but he curled inches wide from 18 yards.
Ex-Saddlers skipper Andy Butler gifted his old team the opener as his mistimed header from a Ginnelly cross set up Morgan Ferrier to nod home from close range. But Doncaster leveled on the half-hour as Leahy handled a high ball and John Marquis tucked home his fourth league goal of the season from the resultant penalty kick.
Doncaster keeper Marko Marosi impressively foiled Ferrier’s six-yard strike after the break before Rovers went in front as Leeds loanee Mallik Wilks drilled past Liam Roberts at his near post. Wilks’ surging run set up James Coppinger to curl home a fine third before Matty Blair sealed the rout in stoppage time.
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 2-2
Sheffield Wednesday came from behind as Barry Bannan’s second half-free kick rescued a point for the Owls against Stoke.
Gary Rowett’s visitors had taken an impressive first-half lead thanks to a Benik Afobe double at Hillsborough, but the spirited hosts struck back through Portuguese striker Marco Matias.
Afobe, who took his tally to four for the season, had another goal ruled out for off-side and went close again before Scotland international Bannan clipped in the equalizer off the post. It moved Wednesday up to ninth and meant Potters boss Gary Rowett has still won just once in his last 14 away matches in all competitions.
Millwall vs Leeds
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 1-1
Jack Harrison’s late goal earned Leeds a deserved point at Millwall and extended the Championship leaders’ unbeaten league start.
Leeds came closest to scoring in a nervy first half, Ezgjan Alioski heading narrowly wide and Ben Amos saving well to deny Tyler Roberts. Millwall took the lead when Jed Wallace fired in off the post after the visitors failed to clear a long throw.
Amos reacted brilliantly to keep out Luke Ayling’s close-range strike, but he could do nothing to stop Harrison’s effort from the edge of the box. Tom Elliott almost won it for the Lions in added time, his header against the inside of the post deflecting safely away from the Leeds goal.
Millwall also had appeals for a penalty turned down by the referee as Elliott went down in the box, but neither side could complain of the final result. Leeds had slightly the better of the first-half chances but lacked a cutting edge without injured strikers Patrick Bamford and Kemar Roofe.
Wallace’s clinical finish looked to have earned his side a ninth win in 10 home games against Leeds, only for Harrison to respond with his side’s first Championship goal at the Den since 2012.

Swansea vs Nottingham
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 0-0
Swansea City sneaked back into the Championship play-off berths despite being held by Nottingham Forest in a stalemate at Liberty Stadium.
In a contest high in intensity but at times lacking in quality, especially in the final third, both sides missed chances to claim all three points. Ben Osborn twice went close for the visitors, while substitute Joel Asoro missed Swansea’s best opportunity.
Swans rose to sixth in the table, while Forest slipped to 15th. Late drama is normally guaranteed between Forest and the Swans, with four of their previous five encounters producing a goal in the 90th minute or later, but this match never really looked like delivering.
The hosts perhaps had the better of a quiet opening 45 minutes, though Forest found a regular outlet for attacks down the right flank as Yan Dhanda failed to provide adequate defensive cover for Declan John, making his first league start. That allowed Matty Cash plenty of freedom, with Forest threatening early after slack marking from Jay Fulton allowed Osborn to fire a shot that Erwin Mulder saved.
Osborn came close again on the stroke of halftime with another firm drive after Dhanda’s mistake, but the ex-Liverpool man also forced Constel Pantillimon to save at the other end. Chances were few and far between, but Swansea’s most likely avenue to a goal appeared to be the understanding between Oli McBurnie and summer signing Bersant Celina.
The duo twice fashioned opportunities, but on both occasions slightly over-hit their passes, allowing Pantillimon to clear the danger. Injuries to Celina and Fulton meant a Swan’s tactical reshuffle at the interval, but the contest continued to be tense and tight with chances at a premium.
Osborne again had an opportunity on the hour mark, but blazed wide, before Swansea substitute Asoro forced himself too wide from close range, allowing Pantillimon to smother.
Lewis Grabban was denied late on at the other end by some last-ditch Swansea defending before Dias forced Edwin Mulder to save, but a stalemate was probably a fair reflection on the contest.
Blackburn vs Aston Villa
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 1-1
Conor Hourihane’s sublime stoppage-time free-kick earned Aston Villa a deserved draw against Blackburn. Bradley Dack’s well-executed flick from Danny Graham’s miscued shot looked to have set Blackburn on the way to victory before substitute Hourihane curled in left-footed from 25 yards.
Despite saving themselves to grab a late point, Villa has now gone five Championship matches without a win. Both sides have taken 10 points from their first seven Championship games, with Blackburn – promoted from League One last season – now certain to go a full calendar year without losing a league match at home.
It had earlier appeared that Rovers and Villa would both be left aggrieved with officials’ decisions during a goalless first half. Dack had a header ruled out for offside when he appeared to be level with Villa’s last defender Alan Hutton, while the visitors broke forward almost immediately and saw claims for a penalty rejected.
Scotland midfielder John McGinn was tripped by Richie Smallwood in the box, but referee Steve Martin thought otherwise and waved away Villa’s fierce protests.
England international Tammy Abraham played the full 90 minutes on his debut for the visitors following his loan deadline day move from Chelsea.
He forced Rovers goalkeeper David Raya to keep out a first-half header, nodded off target at the near post after half-time and then shot wide from 18 yards after a neat interchange with substitute Jonathan Kodjia.
Toulouse vs Monaco
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 1-1
An Aaron Leya Iseka right-footed shot from the center of the box to the bottom left corner canceled out Youri Tieleman’s early opener to ensure that spoils were shared in this French Ligue 1 encounter.
The two teams have met a total of 34 times in the past, Toulouse FC having won 6 times. Monaco 15 times and drawn 3 times. However, the hosts came into this one in fine form having not dropped a point at home so far.
Based on Monaco’s lacklustre season so far we backed the home team to carry the day but it wasn’t to be as spoils were shared.
Leganes vs Villarreal
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 0-1
Leganes was winless in the last 5 matches, prior to which they had gone on a four-match winning streak that was halted by Sevilla. However, Legane’s home form was encouraging having only lost to Barcelona in their last 5 matches conceding just 3 goals in the process.
Villareal on the other hand had lost 1 game under new coach Javi Calleja. Leganes is a tough side to break down at home, and it was all set to be a thrilling clash. The previous meeting drew blanks while the other two meetings were of less importance.
The inform Carlos Bacca proved to be the difference as his 65th-minute goal proved to be the winning one, setting the yellow submarines up for a crucial 3 points on the road.
We had backed the home side to win but it proved inaccurate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeQnd9aSH7M
Udinese vs Torino
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 1-1
The two teams had met a total of 28 times in the past coming into this tantalizing Serie A Match. Udinese have won 11 times, Torino 10 times and drawn 7 times. With these stats, we backed a stalemate as the most probable outcome and it proved to be an accurate prediction as both teams settled for a share of the spoils.
We had gone for a draw as our pick based on head-to-head records as well as current form regarding both teams and it proved an accurate prediction.
Freiburg vs Stuttgart
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 3-3
Freiburg was one of four Bundesliga teams, along with Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke 04, and visitors Stuttgart, without a point to show from their first two matches of the 2018/19 campaign. The South Germans have had a tough start to the season though, with fixtures at home to DFB Pokal holders Eintracht Frankfurt on an opening day (2-0 defeat) and a trip to 3rd placed Hoffenheim a week later, something that wasn’t helped by the absence of manager Christian Streich, who hasn’t been able to coach from the sidelines due to back problems. He did however return in time for the visit of Stuttgart on Sunday.
Stuttgart can do Freiburg one better, not only being the only Bundesliga club without a competitive win in the new 2018/19 campaign (they lost to Hansa Rostock in the DFB Pokal first round as well as both of their opening two Bundesliga fixtures) but also claimed the award of being the only team yet to find the back of the net this season.
Looking over everything, the value looked to be in the hosts but we went for stalemate as our pick and it proved to be accurate as the two teams played out a thrilling 3-3 by the end of the game.

Gillingham v Wimbledon
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 0-1
Joe Pigott’s fifth goal of the season was enough to earn AFC Wimbledon a 1-0 win over Gillingham, their first league victory since the opening game of the campaign.
It brought Wimbledon the three points they had deserved on the balance of play and was the only significant chance in a game that lacked quality or excitement.
James Hanson struck the bar from range in the first half, but neither keeper made a single save of note until Tom King turned away a 95th-minute free-kick from Luke O’Neill – the only time the home side had threatened to score.
We backed the home team to come out on top of this one based on h2h records but it proved inaccurate as the visitors’ top scorer was just too hot to handle on the day.
Accrington v Burton
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 1-1
Billy Kee scored from the penalty spot to rescue a point for Accrington in their 1-1 draw with Burton.
The Brewers had taken an 11th minute lead through summer signing Scott Fraser.
Nigel Clough’s men looked on course for their first away win of the season as Accrington struggled to find a way back into the game for long periods.
Accrington had got off to the better start, with chances falling to the fit-again Kee, Sam Finley, Sean McConville and defender Mark Hughes.
However, after dominating the opening exchanges, midfielder Fraser killed their momentum with his first goal for Burton since signing from Dundee United, finishing well after Marvin Sordell’s initial shot was well saved.
But Accrington kept going and after substitute Offrande Zanzala was tripped in the box, Kee fired in the equaliser from 12 yards.
Based on current form, we backed a draw as our pick and it proved to be an accurate prediction.
Doncaster v Luton Town
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 2-1
Goals from Matty Blair and Ben Whiteman helped Doncaster to a first win in seven matches as they overcame Luton.
Much of the pressure came from visitors Luton, who equalised once through Elliot Lee but could not find another.
Blair opened the scoring for Doncaster with a superb individual effort just six minutes in. Starting from halfway, he surged forward before slamming a superb shot into the far corner from the edge of the box.
Luton responded well and piled on the pressure with Lee, James Collins and Jorge Grant all going close to drawing them level.
But the visitors did manage a deserved equaliser in first-half stoppage time when Lee headed in from close range from a Dan Potts knock-back.
Doncaster halted the Luton momentum just 35 seconds into the second half. A shot from Blair was blocked out only as far as Whiteman, whose low strike from 20 yards found the corner via a deflection.
Luton again had the more threatening play with chances for Potts and Pelly Ruddock but they could not break Doncaster’s resolve.
We backed the home side for a win based on current form as well as home ground advantage and it proved accurate.
Cambridge v Carlisle
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 1-2
Carlisle came from behind to inflict more home misery on Cambridge in a hard-fought victory in League Two.
The hosts had by far the better of the first half and went ahead through Jevani Brown, who started and completed a move which ended with Jabo Ibehre pulling the ball back for the forward to place into the bottom corner.
That came moments after Brown had created a great opportunity for Ade Azeez, but his effort was somehow kept out at point-blank range by Adam Collin.
Carlisle had offered little but found themselves level two minutes before half-time when Richie Bennett nodded home from close range following Jamie Devitt’s cross from the right.
The turnaround was completed when Devitt’s pass found Ashley Nadesan, who turned sharply before firing past David Forde and into the far corner.
Cambridge came close to equalizing through substitute Barry Corr, who saw his effort from George Maris’ corner cleared off the line, but Joe Dunne’s side fell to their fourth successive home defeat in all competitions.
An away win was our pick based on current form as well as h2h records and the second half winner verified our prediction as correct.
Southend v Peterborough
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 2-3
Ivan Toney’s late goal earned unbeaten League One leaders Peterborough United a thrilling win at Southend United.
Matt Godden fired in the opener for Posh, who have made the best start to a season in the club’s history under Steve Evans.
Godden stabbed in again after the hosts failed to clear Marcus Maddison’s free-kick, but Tom Hopper gave Southend hope when he tapped in from Harry Bunn’s pass.
Stephen McLaughlin’s strike drew Southend level, before Toney slotted in to earn his side all three points.
We had gone for a draw as our pick based on current form and it proved true until the dying minutes when the visitors got their winner.
Tranmere v Colchester
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 1-1
James Norwood scored his seventh goal in as many matches but it was only enough for a point as Tranmere were held to a draw by Colchester at Prenton Park.
Norwood drilled home three minutes before the break to give Rovers a half-time lead but a mistake by goalkeeper Scott Davies allowed the U’s to draw level through Harry Pell.
Norwood thought he had scored early on when he headed home a Zoumana Bakayogo cross, but he was flagged offside.
A sloppy back-pass from Steve McNulty put Luke Norris in on goal for Colchester but Davies rushed out to deny him before Sammie Szmodics put the rebound wide.
Just before the break, Tranmere’s greater endeavor paid off when Norwood collected the ball on the edge of the box and produced a clinical finish into the bottom corner.
But Colchester eventually equalized when Brennan Dickenson’s corner was punched down by Davies into the path of Pell who was able to steer the ball home.
A draw was our pick based on h2h records and it proved to be an accurate prediction by the final whistle.
Halifax v Leyton Orient
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 0-1
Leyton Orient scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser at Halifax to maintain their unbeaten start to the National League season.
Halifax forward Matty Kosylo tested visiting goalkeeper Dean Brill early on before Orient grew into the match with Marvin Ekpiteta seeing his strike saved by Sam Johnson.
Macauley Bonne spurned several good openings in the first half, and he almost created the opening goal 10 minutes after the restart when his cross found Josh Koroma, whose effort came off the far post.
The Shaymen capitalised on the away side’s profligacy when Kosylo was felled inside the area and Dayle Southwell slotted home the spot-kick to edge the hosts in front.
But James Alabi finished from close range in the first minute of added time to earn the visitors a valuable point.
We had gone for an away win based on current form but it proved inaccurate as the hosts pulled a ‘game of their’ season type of performance and were unlucky not to walk away with maximum points.
Oldham v Newport
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 0-1
Newport County won their second away game on the bounce as Tyreeq Bakinson’s goal was enough to see off Oldham.
Bakinson, who is on loan with the Exiles from Bristol City, scored his first goal for County on 69 minutes after being teed up by Matty Dolan.
Newport keeper Joe Day made a string of late saves to keep his side ahead as Oldham tried to find an equaliser.
The Exiles stay second, behind leaders Lincoln on goal difference, while Oldham drop down to 10th.
We had gone for a draw based on previous h2h records between the two teams but the solitary goal by Bakinson as well as profligacy in front of goal nullified our prediction.
Scunthorpe v Rochdale
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 3-3
In what was yet another serious contender for match of the weekend, Rochdale produced a stunning second-half fightback to claim a draw at Scunthorpe and deny new Iron manager Stuart McCall a win in his first league match in charge at Glanford Park.
Goals from Lee Novak, with just two minutes gone, and a mazy run and finish from Ryan Colclough put the Iron on course for victory with only a quarter of the contest played.
But Dale, who found the trickery of Colclough and on-loan Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo difficult to contain early on, were a much better side after the break and as the heavens opened, the goals rained in.
Oliver Rathbone pulled one back not long after the restart – reacting quickest after Jak Alnwick had kept out a powerful low drive from Sam Hart – and though Scunthorpe restored their two-goal cushion within 60 seconds via Charlie Goode’s header, Dale came roaring back.
Rathbone rattled in his own and his side’s second of the afternoon from outside the box before substitute Matty Gillam saw his late effort deflect into the top corner to deservedly secure a share of the spoils.
And, in a pulsating contest, Dale’s afternoon could have been even better had Aaron Wilbraham not fired over the bar when the ball ran through to him in stoppage time.
We had gone for an away win based on h2h records and it almost proved true were it not for some wastefulness in front of goal.
Eastleigh v Flyde
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 0-0
Eastleigh ended a run of three successive defeats by holding high-flying AFC Fylde to a goalless draw.
The point extended Fylde’s unbeaten away record this season and they had the better of the few chances that were created in the first half.
Fylde forced Eastleigh keeper Graham Stack to make a smart save when Danny Philliskirk teed up Jim Kellerman on the edge of the area, while two Joe Cardle crosses just evaded Danny Rowe and Ashley Hemmings.
The hosts had perhaps the best chance after the break as Paul McCallam’s header across goal found Cavanagh Miley, but the unmarked midfielder fired well over from 15 yards.
Stack denied Fylde again three minutes later, making a smart save as Rowe fired an effort on goal from 25 yards. There were few clear-cut chances created in the rest of the half as the points were shared.
We had gone for an away win based on their current form but it wasn’t to be as the hosts stood tall.
Solihull Moors v Hartlepool
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 0-1
Liam Noble scored his fifth goal of the season as Hartlepool extended their unbeaten run to seven matches with victory at 10-man Solihull.
The home side endured a miserable opening 20 minutes, losing striker Adi Yussuf to injury and skipper Kyle Storer to a red card for a strong challenge on fellow midfielder Nicky Featherstone.
Hartlepool grew into the game as the half progressed, with Noble firing over and striker Niko Muir seeing a shot on the turn saved by the goalkeeper.
A lively start to the second half saw Muir sent clear only to fire at Ryan Boot, Pools keeper Scott Loach deny Danny Wright, and Boot keep out a Luke James strike with Mark Kitching sending the follow-up into the side-netting.
Muir spurned another clear-cut opening, but Hartlepool did break the deadlock when Noble curled home from 25 yards. Jamey Osbourne shot wide from the edge of the box for Solihull before Ryan Donaldson’s drive came back off the crossbar for the visitors in what was a thrilling encounter.
We had gone for a stalemate as our top pick based on current form but the early red card threw our prediction off.
Degerfors v Eskilstuna
Our 1st Pick: X
Result: 2-2
This was arguably the game of the weekend as both teams fought tooth and nail in order to walk away with maximum points but at the end of the day, the spoils were shared.
It all started off when Bajram Ajeti successfully converted a 29th minute penalty to pull the visitors ahead. They held on and went into the break with the lead but the hosts came out firing in the second half. Their constant pressure was duly rewarded when Wright scored the equalizer in and around the 51st minute.
Marcus De Bruin then sent the home fans into delirium when he found the back of the net just 9 minutes later. The hosts seemed to be heading for certain victory but there was one last twist in this thrilling match. Adnan Kojic broke several hearts when he equalized for the visitors with just a minute left on the clock to ensure the spoils were shared at the end.
We had gone for a draw as our pick based on current form, trends and h2h records and it proved to be an accurate prediction.
https://www.scorebat.com/degerfor-vs-afc-eskilstuna-live/sc712492/
Finland v Hungary
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 1-0
A 7th minute Teemu Pukki left footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner was all that separated this teams as they battled in the newly launched UEFA Nations League.
The match kicked off to a blistering start with the hosts racing off the blocks. Their fine start was duly rewarded as early as the 7th minute when they found the back of the net. An early goal usually means that we would be in for a high scoring match but both defenses stood tall and the match was eventually decided by that solitary goal.
We had gone for a home win based on h2h records as well as home ground advantage and it proved to be an accurate prediction.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxYBSKdpM-s
England v Spain
Our 1st Pick: 2
Result: 1-2
England’s Nations League campaign opened with defeat as they were beaten by Spain in their first match since the World Cup.
Marcus Rashford gave England the perfect start with an 11th-minute strike from Luke Shaw’s pass but Spain responded with an almost instant equaliser thanks to Saul Niguez’s low finish.
Rodrigo Moreno then took advantage of poor marking at a free-kick to score the winner from close range after 32 minutes.
England suffered a blow just after half-time when Shaw was taken off on a stretcher with a head injury following an accidental collision with Dani Carvajal but they rallied late on and could have earned a draw.
David de Gea, who saved brilliantly from Rashford’s header in the first half, denied his Manchester United colleague once more and England were furious Dutch referee Danny Makkelie ruled out an injury-time finish from substitute Danny Welbeck after Spain’s keeper tumbled under pressure from the striker.
England were left to ponder their first competitive defeat at Wembley since they lost a Euro 2008 qualifier to Croatia in November 2007, a run stretching back 24 games – and also Gareth Southgate’s first home defeat as manager.
We had gone for an away win based on current form as well as Spain’s new manager in form of Luis Enrique and it proved to be accurate.
Luxemborg v Moldova
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 4-0
Luxemborg made little work of their lowly rated UEFA Nation’s league opponents and ran riot as they scored 4 past the toothless Moldovans.
Malget opened the scoring in and around the 34th minute for the hosts and it was all one-way traffic from then on. Thill, Sinani and Pereira scored the other goals in the second half to ensure a memorable victory for the hosts in their quest to climb up the rankings and stand a chance at making it to the Euro finals.
We had gone for a home win based on current form and it proved an accurate prediction.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE7Qhe_JUBU
Oxford Utd v Coventry
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 1-2
Goals from Jordan Shipley and Conor Chaplin saw Coventry City claim only their second league win of the season as they saw off struggling Oxford.
Jordan Shipley put City ahead with a shot from inside the box that deflected off U’s defender John Mousinho.
Conor Chaplin then doubled the lead from the penalty spot with eight minutes to go after Shipley was brought down by U’s keeper Jonathan Mitchell.

Orgryte v Osters
Our 1st Pick: 1
Result: 1-0
A 78th minute Daniel Paulson goal was all that separated these two sides with what was a rather cagey encounter. Chances were far and in between as neither team seemed to have it in them to go for the maximum points.
Most of the play was boggled in the middle of the park as neither defence was really put to the test. However, the hosts sparked to life in the dying minutes and were duly rewarded when Daniel found the back of the net.
We had gone for a home win based on h2h records and it proved accurate.
That’s it for another pulsating week of our sportpesa megajackpot post-match breakdown. There were some surprising results but with each failure one can only hope to learn. Here’s a tip for all our sports betting enthusiasts, sometimes stats may favor a particular team but dig deeper and trust by your gut. Sometime your winning slip could be hinged on you backing the underdog and going against the norm. If in doubt, back the home team if their home ground atmosphere is known as a hostile environment for visiting teams. As they say, fortune favors the bold. Be on the lookout for our Sportpesa Megajackpot Predictions this week.
