Big Saturday Multiple: Varbergs value with home advantage

Varbergs meet Assyriska in the Swedish second tier today

Jonno Turner casts his eye across the continent as he looks to put three winning tips together in his Big Saturday Multiple...

Sweden is the venue for the first pick of this three team multiple, as Varbergs line up on home turf against Assyriska, keen to continue their unbeaten run in front of their own fans.

The hosts head into this clash sitting sixth in the Superettan, and, with a game in hand on their nearest rivals, have a real opportunity to leapfrog their neighbours if they can secure maximum points here.

Half a dozen without defeat at the Paskbergsvallen, consisting four wins and two draws, will have Jorgen Walemark's charges confident ahead of this fixture, and, in the bigger picture, that makes nine undefeated from 11 encounters home and away.

Visitors Assyriska make this trip occupying 15th place in the second tier - two points inside the relegation zone - and will be desperate to play their way out of the mire.

But no wins in seven sees the away side at something of a low ebb, and, without even a goal scored in their last four, it appears that they are lacking a little cutting edge.

It's now three games since Fredrik Samuelsson's side tasted victory on the road, and just two wins since June last year away from the Sodertalje Fotbollsarena - a barren run stretching 13 outings - suggests that they might struggle here.

Bet 1: Varbergs (HOME) @ 2.15n/a

We're eyeing an international friendly now, as two teams in the final throes of their warm-ups for the World Cup - Portugal and Greece - meet at the Estadio Nacional.

The Portuguese head into this clash keen to continue their impressive form of late - and a 5-1 thrashing of Cameroon in a similar friendly earlier this month underlines just how seriously the hosts take these games.

Paulo Bento's side have remained unbeaten in 11 of their last 12, notching a whopping nine goals in their last four - and the last thing that they'll want is to suffer a loss this close to the tournament.

Visitors Greece travel to Oeiras without a win in two, and in their last outing of this nature they fell to a rather underwhelming 2-0 defeat against Korea Republic.

Fernando Santos' charges have a decent record on the road, but have not played many of Portugal's quality, and with two more friendlies against Nigeria and Bolivia next week, it might not be a priority to put everything into this one.

I reckon that, in Portugal's final home outing before they jet off to their American training camp next week, they'll be keen to put on a morale-boosting display - and, with home advantage, I expect them to do just that.

Bet 2: Portugal (HOME) @ 1.654/6

Focusing our attentions on some final day action in the Czech Liga now - where bottom side Znojmo face a do or die home tie with Dukla Praha.

The hosts head into this one cut adrift at the foot of the table, with two points separating them from safety, and with this the final game of the season, it makes a win even more valuable for Leos Kalvoda's side.

Yes, their form hasn't been the best of late - but in front of their own fans, their record actually isn't all bad - and just a single loss from six, including a 4-1 thrashing of Slovan Liberec last time out, will have them confident of launching a great escape.

Visitors Dukla have no drop zone worries themselves, sitting eighth in the table, but their form has been miserable of late, and just a pair of wins from 14 makes it clear just how bad they've been.

Indeed, their form away from Stadion Juliska isn't much better, and six losses from seven on the road points to a real travel sickness within Lubo Kozel's squad.

The Prague side's final league position will not be affected by the outcome of this encounter, and so I'd question their motivation going into a clash which their hosts simply must win.

Bet 3: Znojmo (HOME) @ 2.05n/a
