Home and Away: Hosts to take Aal three points

Aalborg have been performing well in the Danish Superliga

We're off to Denmark for our first pick of the new week - and Aalborg welcome Midtjylland to the Nordjyske Arena, looking to continue the excellent home form which has fired them to third in the Danish Superliga.

The hosts go into this tie having won six and drawn one of their last eight in front of their own fans - and boss Kent Nielsen will be delighted from that return from his side, who finished 7th in this division last campaign.

And the North Jutland side will be desperate to maintain that form in order to keep themselves in with a chance of Europa League qualification here.

Ten goals scored in their last four outings at home suggests that Nielsen's side have more than enough attacking quality to choose from - and I think that they have more than enough goals in them to punish their opponents tonight.

The visitors travel to Aalborg having won just one of their last ten Superliga clashes, and boss Glenn Riddersholm will be keen to correct that slide here.

The Ulvene go into this one sitting in 10th place - just three points outside of the relegation zone - and much of that is down to their poor form on the road, which has seen them win just one from five away from the MCH Arena.

And just one clean sheet from their last 13 in the league indicates that the away side have some issues in their defence which could play a key part in the outcome of this game.

Confidence will be low in the travelling camp, and the pressure is building on last year's third placed side as they look to secure their first win since the 2nd of September.

But they are up against a home side full of momentum and bang in form here, and I don't think that their luck will change in this one.

Bet 1: Aalborg (HOME) @ 1.92

Over to Argentina for our next tip, and we're focusing on the Primera Division, as struggling Tigre host Racing Club at the Coliseo de Victoria.

The home side have endured a nightmare start to the new campaign, and go into this one having failed to win any of their last 12 league games.

The Matador have not even scored a goal in four outings, and boss Nestor Gorosito will be wondering what he has to do to arrest this slump.

His side will be desperately disappointed with their current position of 19th (second bottom) as their prospects looked so bright at the end of the 2012 Clausura, where they finished second.

But the hosts clearly have significant issues within their squad, and will not be looking forward to welcoming one of their divisions in-form sides to Buenos Aires in this encounter.

The visitors go into this game flying, and currently in fifth place in the table, following just one loss from their last five - and their boss Luis Zubeldia will be keen for his side to keep those performances going.

Two wins from their last three away from the Estadio Juan Domingo Peron suggests that the away side have the quality to punish their hosts here, and what will be most pleasing to their manager will be the two consecutive clean sheets in those games.

Racing have lost just one of their last half a dozen against Tigre, and I think that the visitors could nick something here, too.

Bet 2: Racing Club (AWAY) @ 2.62
