No. I'm not up for the Challenge...
Really? Has Bo lost his bottle? Well...not really It's just a quiet day across Europe and yesterday was a slightly painful day as well. With it being such a quiet day, no "Daily Double" or "Tasty Treble" will be offered today, but i do have some picks I like but without enough confidence to put big stakes on so there will be an "Amazing Acca" of which we have won 2 out of 4 so far. My "Daily Double" and "Tasty Treble" Challenge will resume tomorrow. In The Championship in England, promoted Leicester travel to Reading in a live TV fixture that could well produce some goals. Reading remain right in the hunt for a play-off position but their home form has been dire of late, recording 0 wins from their last 6 and even though Leicester have taken their foot off the gas with promotion assured, it would be impossible to side with a side so badly out of form at home. However, I expect Reading to score tonight and earn a point to take advantage of opponents who with their eyes off the ball, may well suffer a downturn in form, given their unassailable advantage at the top of the table (as reflected in their 4.1 loss at the weekend) and I will be backing BTTS at 8/13. In Italy, Juventus can edge a step closer to the title with a victory at Udinese but face a home side in good form, who are not easy to breakdown and are quite capable of giving the champions elect a tough match. Udinese are unbeaten in their last 5 in Udine, including 4 victories while Juventus have looked a little leg weary in recent weeks with their involvement in the Europa League adding to their distractions, and I am predicting a low scoring draw for this game. In beautiful Baque country, Athletic Bilbao seeking 4th position and a Champions League qualification berth take on Malaga in a true North v South battle in La Liga. Bilbao are heavily fancied at 4/11 to pick up the win but have only won 2 of their last 6 at home while Malaga have won their last 3 on the road. I am not confident enough to back the visitors to win but I think their handicap price of 4/6 with a 2 goal head-start is good value. I expect a draw or a narrow 1 goal home victory and either result would be sufficient to pay out. Finally, we turn to the Dutch Second Division where goals are almost always guaranteed and I like the looks of the fixture there tonight which sees Jong Twente take on Jong PSV. BTTS pays at 4/7 and you are just going to have to trust me on this one! Bo's Amazing Acca (small stakes only) Reading V Leicester, BTTS 8/13 Udinese v Juventus, Draw, 3/1 Jong Twente v Jong PSV, BTTS 4/7 Malaga (plus 2 goals) on the handicap to beat Bilbao, 4/6 Acca pays at 15/1 odds Comments are closed.
