Bochum 4-2 Bayern Munich

Table-topping Bayern Munich were valued at 1.23 odds for a win away at Bochum having won 10 of their previous 11 games.

And when Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring after nine minutes, it looked like it was going to be another routine win for Bayern but what followed was simply incredible.

Bochum scored four first-half goals to finish the half in spectacular fashion and although Lewandowski scored again in the second half the game ended 4-2 in favour of the home side.

Bochum who were valued at 12.00 odds for a win defied all odds and defeated Bayern Munich for the first time since February 14 2002.

Two teams known for being conservative in front of goal, Atletico Madrid and Getafe played out an unexpected seven-goal thriller at the Wanda Metropolitano.

To give some context, the previous five matches between these teams produced seven goals, a total they managed to equal in just one game, ruining all under 2.5, 3.5 and even 4.5 tickets.

Enyimba were valued at 1.19 odds for a win at home in a league notorious for home wins against Niger Tornadoes, a team with a terrible away record.

Tornadoes had drawn one and lost four of their five away games this season scoring once and conceding seven times which made it a surprise when they opened the scoring in this game.

Enyimba needed an Austin Oladapo penalty to equalise and the game ended in a draw, worth 6.00 odds.

Manchester United have played out a third straight 1-1 draw against teams they should be beating, this has happened so often it probably really is no longer an upset.

But United were still expected to pick up all three points at home to Southampton and were valued at 1.55 odds to do so but they did not.

Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 0-1 Saint Truidense

Royale USG sit top of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League and were on an 11-match unbeaten run when they welcomed Saint-Truidense who sat in the second half of the table.

USG were valued at 1.45 odds to win at home but they lost 1-0 which meant they also failed to fulfil over goal markets as well.

Akwa United 0-0 Heartland

Heartland have not won any of their last seven games but their last result was a draw at the home of the defending champions which nobody saw coming.

Akwa United were valued at a measly 1.12 odds for a win which shows how confident the bookies were in their ability to win but the home team missed two first-half penalties to hand Heartland their first away point of the season.
