TUESDAY IN EUROPE: The Ultra previews JUVENTUS v LECCE and MALLORCA v BARCELONA both with a recommended BETDAQ bet.
JUVENTUS V LECCE
7.45pm What a cracking Tuesday from Europe on BETDAQ BETTING EXCHANGE this week! We have some superb mid-week action from Serie A and La Liga, and we have Juventus and Barcelona both in action on Tuesday night. We start the evening with Juventus as they host Lecce in Serie A. Juventus will be glad to have another fixture so soon after the disaster they had at the weekend losing 4-2 to Sassuolo. That was their first loss of the season, and we saw one of the most incredible own goals ever. The keeper passed it to a defender while out of his goal, and the defender literally kicked it into his own goal – I am assuming he meant to pass it back to the keeper and just didn’t know/see that it was the keeper that passed it to him! They were 3-2 down at the time and it was into injury time so it wasn’t a “game costing” error but it was bizarre! The Juventus performance level away from home has been average so far this season – they are only creating more chances by 0.01 on xG! At home they have been a lot more comfortable though.
They are hot favourites to win here; currently 1.57 at the time of writing with Lecce trading 7.6 and the draw is 4.3. Lecce have started the season on fire – they’ve yet to be beaten, and after they weekend they sat above Juventus in the top four. Before getting too carried away, Lecce have had a reasonably easy fixture list. They managed a win over Lazio but their other wins came against Salernitana and Genoa. They are a solid side though, and if Juventus don’t perform they will take advantage. Lecce are only marginally conceding more than they are creating this season (xG figures 1.4 v 1.37). I feel the 1.57 is a little short on Juventus here, but I really like Under 2.5 goals at 1.9. Lecce will come here to defend and they have been solid at the back this season too. Juventus aren’t firing yet this season, and they’re going to have to grind out a win here. I was surprised to see Unders trading as big as 1.9, and it’s definitely worth backing.
The Ultra Says:
Two points win Under 2.5 goals at 1.9 with BETDAQ BETTING EXCHANGE.

MALLORCA V BARCELONA
8.30pm We move to La Liga to finish the evening as Mallorca host Barcelona. It was an excellent weekend for Barcelona that saw them move to the top of the table after a very dramatic win against Celta Vigo, and then Real Madrid lost away to Atletico Madrid. The surprise of the La Liga season so far has been Girona who have the same amount of points as Barcelona at the moment – their fans must be in dreamland at the moment! Barcelona haven’t really been fully tested yet, but they are ticking the games off nicely. They have given away a few sloppy goals, but they have been absolutely fantastic going forward. Their average xG created is 2.1 at the moment with an average conceded of 1.18. For all the criticism of them at the back at times, that’s actually the best defensive figure in La Liga this season. Like I said though, bigger tests await for Barcelona this season. They will be expected to win this game too, and they are the odds on favourites. They are trading 1.58 with Mallorca 6.8 and the draw is 4.5 at the time of writing.
It’s hard to see past the Barcelona win here, and I have to say I wasn’t expecting them to be trading as high as 1.58 when I clicked into the market. Mallorca would have been delighted with their season last time, but they have started this season on the backfoot. They have only managed one win, against Celta Vigo who are also hanging around the relegation zone at the moment, and their xG figures are very poor. Mallorca are only creating an average xG of 0.86 which after the weekend is the third worse figure going forward in La Liga. When they are coming up against the side with the best record at the back, that spells trouble. I know Barcelona have conceded some sloppy goals this season, but they are going to get loads of chances in this game and I feel they’ll comfortably out score Mallorca. I feel we’re getting so much value at 1.58 that Barcelona are worth a Max Bet.
The Ultra Says:
Five points win Barcelona to beat Mallorca at 1.58 with BETDAQ BETTING EXCHANGE.
