For that reason, we’re using the Asian Handicap line to try and find the value backing Western Sydney Wanderers +0.5 goals. Their quality in attack should keep them from losing this game and we’re confident that the 0.5 line should give the visitors side a big chance of winning on the handicap.

Standout moments include his perfectly-weighted chipped pass to allow Anthony Martial to volley home the opening goal in the 2-0 win over Manchester City in the last league game, while he converted nerveless penalties against Watford and Club Bruges. And his silencing of City boss Guardiola during the derby was one United fans particularly enjoyed, being made into a meme on social media with Fernandes explaining that "at the moment, he did not deserve my respect".

Two of the worst teams of the Belarus third division will meet when they both will be aiming for their first win of the season. Both teams suffered miserable defeat in the opening fixture and their defeat was expected. The home team here Zhlobin has lost their opening fixture away from home by 3-1 goals against Gorki.
