The home team does not occupy a position in the table consistent with its investment, capacity and technical values. The recent form of the team demonstrates how the team started the competition in a bad way, however the potential of this club is to fight for great things and recovery will certainly come. Juventus has suffered from injuries from its athletes and suspended players. Regarding the lineup scheduled for this match, the team has the return of Arkadiusz Milik and Juan Cuadrado who were suspended in the previous game, on the other hand, striker Di Maria will be unavailable due to a red card received against Monza. There is still a gap of days until the game, due to the FIFA date of selections, so there is a chance that we will have some more punctual changes, in case Juventus manage to recover some injured players or if any player who serves the national teams is injured. The club\'s tactical layout should be 4-3-3 with an aggressive stance from the start of the game. Bologna had a last season without great achievements and this season the start has been even worse: close to the relegation zone, the team made a change in the technical command, hiring Thiago Motta who lost against Empoli in the team\'s previous game. In relation to last season, the team lost important pieces such as defender Theate and left-back Hickey to French and English football respectively. The technical exponent of the club has been the striker Arnautovic who has a lot of firepower. Regarding the starting lineup, the absences should be Nicola Sansone and Adama Soumaoro, both injured. Regarding the tactical disposition, we will probably have the team in 3-4-1-2, with a more defensive behavior to try to exploit counterattacks. Regarding the game, despite the bad start to the season on the part of Juventus, there is a gap between the clubs so I believe that Juventus\' home field will prevail, and the team has enough to win this game at least by one goal from difference. Bologna has had a bad performance as a visitor too so in this game I believe it will have a lot of difficulty and an unfavorable environment.

Three consecutive defeats with only one goal scored for hosts, here without, among others, Bakir, Girth and key def. Senger (9). Trainer worried about continues injuries and forced to call players out of their natural roles: after the good start \"more and more injured\" were added \"and especially in positions where it should playfully fold forward. I call Caspar Jander and Alaa Bakir in midfield \". Hallescher few points lower on table but defeated only two times in last five by both teams that lead the table. No relevant misses.

Sochaux without Topscorer Sissoko (4g) while Valenciennes is undefeated at home were suffered only four goals.

Hosts without def. Linguet (but out since early September) and Debuchy but problems in attack for them, too, Topscorer Hamache (2g) is another player that remain out, midf. Botaboui and Masson remain out, too.

Valenciennes has good numbers for this bet, only eight goals scored – yes, only other eight ones suffered, too, but two key def. out - they come from a 1-0 away defeat before pause.

Sochaux scored 17 goals, absence of Sissoko could be not so crucial here. In defense they have good numbers, only two away goals suffered and five ones in total.

Valenciennes in danger of another possible defeat against a strong team in my opinion, with various starters remain out in various sectors and no great results: three wins, in early August with Le Havre, other two ones against relegation strugglers as Nimes and Niort (last on table).

Odds on guests increased too much only cause Sissoko absence, guests’ win remain the most probable result in my view.

The home team continues with poor results when home. Botafogo has the second worst campaign in Serie A as home team. In the previous round, once again the club failed, leaving the field even booed by their fans. There are some positive points such as the arrival of striker Tiquinho, but the home team lacks goals, which doesn\'t know what it\'s like to score a goal for 3 consecutive matches. In relation to the starting line-up, the most relevant absences are right-back Rafael and Defensor Carli, both injured. Coritiba is a bad visitor in this series, being more precise, it has the worst campaign as a visitor among all the teams in the competition, even reaching 7 consecutive defeats as a visitor. In terms of numbers, the visiting club has the second worst defense in the first division with an average of 1.57 goals conceded per match. Regarding the starting lineup, the absence will be striker Adrian Martinez due to accumulation of cards, but his replacement Leo Gamalho adds even more firepower to the attack. Regarding the game, Botafogo has bad numbers in fact as home team but has even shown signs of improvement in performance and the arrival of striker Tiquinho can be a factor to actually materialize in goals the chances that the club has created in the matches. On the other hand, Coritiba has a bad performance and attitude as a visitor, and this can make the difference in this game.

No weans for hosts in last four (0-2-2), here without second scorer Loft (2g), Anderson, Rossiter, Connoly, all obitual starters plus other players, trainer spoke about a really difficult situation and Lincoln in good form. Only an away win and two goals scored for guests, but away they played against Peterborough and Cambridge (only two defeats of season). Starting midf. Bishop and Saunders only unavailable players

Only two wins for United with Rooney on bench and guests are now out of hopes to join playoffs. Not the same for home team that after defeat against Los Angeles must gain point to protect playoff position. Hosts with eight home wins in 14 home matches and tonight without relevant rooster\'s problems. On the contrary, United adds to lack of motivations usual list of problems: original first keeper Hamid remain doubtful, among the absences def. Smith, Ike-Hines, keeper Romo that substitutes Hamid since May further weaken the worst defense (59g against) of whole MLS Topscorer Fountas (11g) is another miss.

Both teams in bad run, Hansa Rostock seems worst one, Dusseldorf won three games, but only one (Regensburg in difficulties, too), in last five (only occasion in which gained a clean sheet in this run). Hosts with striker Hennings (2g) and Topscorer Kownacki (4g) in doubt, both could be new misses as surely unavailable, midfielder Hendricks, def. DeWijs, att. Ginczek (1g), Hoffman (att.7). Hansa Rostock practically full team, true they have three defeats in last five, but hard calendar against in form Karlsrhuer, Darmstadt and Hannover.

Hearts will be at fifth match in 13 days and in midweek will have Conference league. In midweek guests played and loose against Livingston in cup with various players unavailable. Some of that missing should return but it is unknown in which conditions and if someone will be preserved for midweek match. They will be surely without starting defenders Rowles - ever starter till now - and Atkinson, another new miss respect last premiership game, plus midf. Boyce, that after coming from bench in opening round, played all the other matches since the first minute. So, also if Hearts is actually third on table with only one defeat against Celtic, seems with various problems (tiredness, missing, etc.) here. Livingston played in midweek, too, loosing against Dundee but should be able to repeat that same first eleven. Bad run for them, with three defeats in first five rounds, but they lose two away matches (Motherwell and Aberdeen) and at home were defeated by Rangers.

Birmingham looser in last round in spite new promoted Wigan played in ten men since 10th minute. Guests with only one point in last three rounds remain strong relegation candidates as Rotherham, but home team undefeated till now with one match to recover, too. For this match Birmingham remain without newcomer Bielik - cause financial troubles guests made a poor incoming campaign till now and other two players are near to go - Gordon, Roberts and Graham. Only Roberts was starter in defense this season for three times, while Graham played two matches from bench. But new miss is striker Jutkiewicz banned for offences to referee. New promoted Rotherham played cup in midweek, but with only three usual starters on field from first minute, for this match hosts practically full team and after a draw against Swansea trashed 4-0 a depleted by absences Reading in last home round.
