Big Saturday Multiple: Promoted Coruna can't match Girona

Girona simply must take a positive result from this clash with Deportivo Girona simply must take a positive result from this clash with Deportivo

Jonno Turner takes us on a trip across the continent today, as we visit Spain, Sweden and Ireland in search of winners...

We're heading to warmer climes to kick off our Big Saturday Multiple today - and Spain's Segunda Division, as second placed Deportivo La Coruna make the trip to Girona.

The visitors have already secured their promotion back to the top tier before this final outing of the campaign, and that could seriously affect motivation as they travel north east.

Fernando Vazquez' charges head into this game in the midst of some Jekyll and Hyde form, too, with just one win from their last six - and without a victory in three away from the Estadio Municipal de Riazor A Coruna.

Hosts Girona line up for this encounter sitting on the edge of relegation - occupying the final drop zone place - and will be desperate to grab maximum points in order to give themselves a real chance of making a great escape.

Only a single point separates the home side from next-in-line Real Madrid II, and Pablo Machin will be encouraged by their recent form, which consists three wins and two draws from seven.

Indeed, it is on their own patch that the hosts are strongest - and five without loss gives them the momentum and morale to snatch a result here.

Bet 1: Girona (HOME) @ 1.654/6

Heading to the Swedish Superettan now, where Ljungskile line up at the Skarsjovallen against Degerfors.

The home side have been impressive in recent weeks, and sit fourth in the second tier ahead of kick off - on a roll after three wins and a draw.

Tor Arne Fredheim's charges have also notched up five wins from six in front of their own fans, scoring 14 and keeping a trio of clean sheets, and that impeccable form on their own patch indicates that they might have too much for their guests here.

Visitors Degerfors sit languishing in 14th place ahead of this tie, just two points from the foot of the table, and back to back defeats on the road, in which they have shipped a whopping seven goals, might have knocked morale in the away camp.

In the bigger picture, Patrik Werner has seen his side win just twice since October last year - and that under par run suggests problems down at the Stora Valla.

Ljungskile have not lost to Degerfors in eight meetings at this ground - and I can't see that changing this afternoon.

Bet 2: Ljungskile (HOME) @ 1.654/6 

And finally, we're turning our attentions to Ireland now, where Limerick host Bohemians in the Premier Division.

The hosts have not enjoyed their best start to a new season, but there are signs that they could be in the midst of something of a turnaround - and they have won their last two heading into this encounter.

A whopping six goals scored in that time underlines the attacking threat that the home side possess going forward - and a 2-0 win at home to St Patricks in their last outing at Thomond Park will give them real belief that they can hold out their guests here.

Stuart Taylor's side now sit sixth in the table - some four points off Sligo in fifth - and will be desperate to pile the pressure on to the teams at the top.

Visitors Bohemians make this trip in some miserable form, and four without a win away from Dalymount Park points to a real travel sickness within their camp.

Owen Heary's side have sunk to 11th in the top tier following that poor run, and will be keen to take maximum points in order to keep within touching distance of the rest of the division.

Two without even a goal on the road points to a lack of cutting edge in the Dublin side though, and I can't see them putting their hosts under much pressure here.

Bet 3: Limerick (HOME) @ 2.35/4
