The Premiership Aston Villa – Swansea 1.91 – 5.05 Home win will be my call. I like to think that the Villa win against Chelsea was just the kind of tonic they needed to change their season for the better. One or two of us have expected much better from Villa, but maybe coach McLeish [...]
Continue reading...The Premiership Liverpool – Newcastle 1.60 – 7.47 It was a bit embarrassing that Liverpool could not defeat Blackburn the other day. Or, I should be embarrassed expecting a very one sided affair. Maybe it was, but Liverpool just cannot kill of their opponents at Anfield this season. They are 3-6-0 in their home games. [...]
Continue reading...The Premiership Chelsea – Fulham 1.33 – 12.26 I never thought that I would see P Ferreira playing in the Chelsea defence again, but he replaced the injured Ivanovic against Tottenham. J Terry and Bosingwa played in the middle with Ferreria on one of the flanks. Should D Luiz miss out I guess that we [...]
Continue reading...The Premiership Aston Villa – Arsenal 5.15 – 1.83 Without both Agbonlahor and D Bent Villa were no match for Liverpool at the weekend. The match was over as a contest after some fifteen minutes. It was the Villa defence that let their team down, twice. Agbonlahor will return from his suspension for this match [...]
Continue reading...The Premiership Wolves – Norwich 2.20 – 3.59 I looked upon the Wolves –Stoke fixture as a X2 game. This one I call a 1X fixture. Second away game in four days for Norwich, a Norwich side that was on the back foot for most of the game at Everton. (1-1) Norwich are 1-3-4 away [...]
Continue reading...The Premiership Blackburn – W B A 2.48 – 3.40 Some guys have all the luck, but the Blackburn coach Kean does not belong to that category. Last week his side scored a legitimate 2-0 goal against Sunderland, but it was disallowed and then four of his player suffered injuries during the game. Already missing [...]
Continue reading...Europa League FC Zurich – Vaslui 3.10 – 2.41 There are some strange odds in this final round, much as expected of course, as teams face this round very motivated, like in the case of this Vaslui side, or less motivated like Zurich. In this case I will opt for the outsider. Why? I just [...]
Continue reading...Serie A Genoa – Inter 3.39 – 2.40 Decent odds on the away win. Paddy Power offers 2.70 on the away win, but it can already be too late. Inter dominated against a weakened Fiorentina side at the weekend. They scored two goals, it should have been more, but I would not suggest that Inter [...]
Continue reading...The Premiership Arsenal – Everton 1.58 – 7.00 Usually I say that Everton are hard to beat, but I do not think that Arsenal will have any major problems winning this fixture. Arsenal enjoyed a comfortable afternoon away to Wigan and almost all of their first choices did not make the trip to Greece in [...]
Continue reading...Champions League Manchester City – Bayern Munich 1.63 – 6.00 – Man City 2 Bayern Munich 2 The book makers have destroyed this fixture as a betting proposition. The odds on the home win are quite simply disgusting and the away win is too far fetched for me. The Bayern coach will rest some of [...]
