It was a rotten Saturday with Valencia's missed penalty costing me 10 points and probably 20 so I'm a bit downbeat today and the fixtures are not convincing me that redemption will be easy this afternoon. I fancy goals in the FA Cup semi between Villa and Liverpool in what could be a closer encounter than the bookies anticipate while the Premier League fixtures are worth ignoring which is a shame. Super Sunday my arse. Overall, it's another tough card but I've done my studying and this is what I've come up with for some of today's games. EPL
14:30 Manchester City vs West Ham - Prediction 2.0- Best Bet - No bet City are in such poor form that I refuse to get involved with them but they should win here against a West Ham side that are hardly in form. 17:00 Newcastle United vs Tottenham - Prediction 1.1- Best Bet - No bet It's something of a nothing match here with both sides in poor form and little to play for. Newcastle are so poor right now that it's hard to know if they can even score here but Spurs are also off colour and I don't expect a thriller. Perhaps the presence of the Sky cameras for a live game will inspire something from a Newcastle team that seem utterly rudderless. I don't fancy much here, so I will avoid. FA Cup 16:00 Aston Villa vs Liverpool - Prediction 2.2 (Liverpool to win AET) - Best Bet - BTTS @10/11, Villa or draw (90 minutes) @13/10 Have the bookies underestimated Villa here? Yes they have a lot of players missing but I think we will see a real fight here at Wembley and with the attack minded Sherwood in charge, you can be sure Villa will give this a right good go. I can see Liverpool emerging but not in the 90 minutes and I really like the 13/10 on Villa to draw or win in 90 minutes. BTTS is also quite possible @10/11. For a game like this, stats go out the window and this bet is based on recent form and gut instinct. Germany 15:30 Werder Bremen vs Hamburg - Prediction 2.0 - Best Bet - Werder to win @1/1, Werder to score 2 o more @5/6 Hamburg are rotten on the road and Werder score a lot at home, scoring 2 more in 8 of their last 10, although they did draw a blank in their last 2 at home, although one of those was against Bayern Munich. The visitors have conceded 17 in their last 4 away and more than 2 in 7 of their last 10 so we know that they leak goals and I expect Werder to get their shooting boots back on today to condemn the bottom side to yet another defeat. 17:30 Wolfsburg vs Schalke - Prediction 2.1- Best Bet - BTTS and over 2.5 goals @1/1 Historically this fixture always seems to produce over 2.5 goals with 11 of the last 12 going over, and 8 of those 12 seeing BTTS. Wolfsburg will be eager to bounce back from their midweek defeat to Napoli and given that there have been over 2.5 goals in Wolfsburg's last 6 matches in the league, I think we will see it again here with BTTS as well. Holland 14:30 Heracles vs PEC Zwolle - Prediction 1.1- Best Bet - no bet 14:30 Ajax vs NAC Breda - Prediction 2.0- Best Bet - no bet 16:45 Utrecht vs Twente - Prediction 2.2- Best Bet - BTTS and over 2.5 @8/11 Short price but it looks very likely based on the stats. La Liga 17:00 Granada vs Sevilla - Prediction 0.2- Best Bet -Sevilla to win @ 8/11 Serie A 15:00 Palermo vs Genoa - Prediction 1.1- Best Bet - BTTS @5/6 10 of Genoa's 14 away games have seen BTTS with 10 of Palermo's 15 home also seeing BTTS. 5/6 odds on the same outcome here looks to be good value. 18:00 Cagliari vs Napoli - Prediction 1.3- Best Bet - BTTS and over 2.5 goals @10/11 BTTS have scored in 13 of Cagliari's 15 home games, including each of the last 8 and 7 of those went over 2.5 goals as well. Napoli should have too much quality in the end but I fully expect goals here. 20:45 Inter vs AC Milan - Prediction 1.0- Best Bet - no bet What a sad state of affairs for 2 fallen giants. Not had time to look at this game so I am going to avoid because historically, I know they are often low scoring and edgy affairs. Bo's Best Bets Utrecht v Twente - BTTS and over 2.5 goals @8/11 Aston Villa v Liverpool - BTTS @10/11 Villa not to lose (90 minutes) - 13/10 Wolfsburg v Schalke - BTTS and over 2.5 @1/1 Werder Bremen to score 2 or more @5/6 Werder Bremen to win @5/6 Palermo v Genoa - BTTS @5/6 Cagliari v Napoli - BTTS and over 2.5 goals @10/11 Comments are closed.
