  EPL Backed Bournemouth to win at home versus Crystal Palace at 3 . While Bournemouth have an exactly split home record (3 wins, 2 draws, 3 defeats) the defeats include games versus Arsenal and Spurs. Palace have only won one game away this season, to date. Ligue 1 Backed Troyes to win away at Strasbourg at 4.6. Weirdly, Troyes have more away than home wins (2 versus 1) this season, with impressive away results against Monaco and Clermont. Strasbourg, meanwhile, have not won a single home match. Draw is also quite possible. Morris Dancer

Still getting back into the swing of things and nothing from Ligue 1 tickled my fancy. In La Liga, I’ve backed Real Betis to win at home versus Athletic Bilbao at 2.86 . They both have very similar stats to date, though Bilbao have been split even away (two wins, two draws, two losses). I’ve also backed Osasuna to win away versus Real Sociedad at 4.5. The former has a pretty good away record, with an even split of wins, draws, and losses (including a draw away against Real Madrid). Weirdly, Real Sociedad has a much better away than home record this season. Not a gimme by any stretch but worth backing, I think. Weirdly, a failed Aston Villa tip I thought I'd posted here didn't show up, but I'm still counting it as a loss in my records (of tips). As ever, bet at your own risk. Morris Dancer
