Today’s Banker of the Day

Analysis

Macedonia is ranked 69th on the FIFA rankings and hasn't won any of their last five games. They lost 0:4 to Turkey and 0:4 to Denmark, and they tied 0:0 with Bosnia & Herzegovina, 0:0 with Ireland, and 1:1 with Wales. Their biggest issue is their offense, scoring only 1 goal in their last 5 matches.

Switzerland is ranked 14th on the FIFA rankings and is coming in with much better form. In their last five games, they won 4:1 against Bosnia & Herzegovina, 2:1 against Canada, and 2:0 against Algeria. They also beat Colombia on penalty kicks after a 0:0 tie. Their only loss was 1:3 to Argentina.

Macedonia has scored just 1 goal in their last 5 games, while Switzerland has three wins in regular time during the same period and is 55 places higher on the FIFA rankings. With a much stronger offense and better momentum, we should expect Switzerland to win.

Analysis

The Strongest is at the top of the group with 7 points from 4 matches, showing 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss with a goal difference of 7:7. When it comes to the 3+ trend, things look really good, 4 out of the last 5 matches they played ended with Over 2.5: they won 2:1 against Academia del Balompie, crushed Real Oruro 6:0, beat Universitario de Vinto 2:1, and defeated Tomayapo 4:1.

Guabirá has 6 points from 4 matches in the group, with 2 wins and 2 losses and a goal difference of 5:8. In their last five games, 3 of them ended with at least three goals – they won 2:1 against SA Bulo Bulo, won 4:1 against Aurora, and lost 0:4 against Always Ready. Their defense tends to leave a lot of open space, which also supports the Over.

For Over 2.5, the strongest reason is the head-to-head record, as the last 5 matches between these teams ended with at least three goals. With a perfect 5/5 H2H Over 2.5 and 4/5 for The Strongest in recent form, we should expect at least three goals in this game.

Analysis

Penarol is sitting in 4th place with 12 points from 6 games, having won 4 matches, drawn 1, and lost 1 with a goal difference of 11:4. Over their last five games, they've picked up 3 wins and 2 draws. In the league, they've been winning lately with victories of 2:1 against CA Cerro, 3:1 against Albion, and 4:0 against Danubio. Their form is solid, and their offense keeps finding ways to score.

Boston River sits in 11th place with 8 points from 7 games, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses and a goal difference of 9:10. In their last five matches, they've won 2 but lost 3, and in the league they lost to Progreso 1:2 and to Racing Montevideo 2:3. Their form is way less stable than Peñarol's.

Penarol hasn't lost in their last two head-to-head matchups, winning 3:0 and 2:0. With their better position, stronger defense, and home field advantage, we'd expect Peñarol to win this game.
