[Brasil B - 25 Aug 2007]

Re: Brasil B - 25 Aug 2007 Barueri SP vs Marilia SP Marilla are in much better shape and I believe they will win this one , they have won " away "with Ponte Preta 2-1 ( odds 4.2 ) , Ponte Preta its a good team , in a good day they can beat anyone from Serie B with big margin , if we check standings Marilla have 42 p ( but they had - 6 p deducted ) , objective to get a place in top 4 . For this game they have some players out : gkper Julio Cesar suspended two games for a red card receveid two rounds ago , defender Leandro Camilo and midfielder Deda also suspended . New signing from Cruzeiro , defender Irineu is set to make debut for Marilla , Michel will sit on bench , he will be replaced by Leandrinho , so visitors will play with Leandrinho - Wellington Amorim in attack . Hosts welcome back gkper Deola , only missing is defender Paulao . Gremio are looking to end in top 4 , but they arent in good shape , in the last two home matches : Gremio - Ituano 3-2 Gremio - Sao Caetano 0-2 . Ituano scored 2 goals to Gremio , wich is a great performance for this club , and a bad note for Gremio's defense , who received 6 goals in the last 3 games , 2 goals / game . Marilla and Vitoria are the only teams with 5 victories each away from home . My bet : Marilla to win all points Pick : Marilia Odds : 4.00 Bookmaker : Expekt

[Sweden,Superettan 7 - 9/10]

Re: Sweden,Superettan 7 - 9/10 Hosts are currently 3rd and the fight for the direct promotion is still on. They have 5 points advantage over Bunkeflo and 6 points over Hacken and Atvidabergs with 4 rounds to go.They are coming from a 3:1 away loss versus Sirius, who is one of the best teams at home, so it isn`t such a big deal.Now they will play as hosts and with a 10-3-0 record and 25:1 goal difference it can`t get any better than this.On the other hand we have Ogryte, a team without special motivation, as they are on the 9th position and can`t fight for promotion, nor they can be relegated.Coach will probably use some youngsters as well, like he did in the previous game against Landskrona, which they lost by 2:4. Hosts are a fortress at home, but since visitors have nothing to lose we can expect a few goals here, so over might be an option as well. I believe home side will win this quite comfortably and these odds on handicap win by BET365 are too high IMO. Good luck! Pick : Home (EH -1) Odds : 2.50 Bookmaker : Bet365

[Spartak Nalchik vs Spartak Moscow]

Re: Spartak Nalchik vs Spartak Moscow This is match of Russian Premier League between Spartak Nalchik and Spartak Moscow.It’s very important match for both sides as Spartak Moscow, after lose of Zenit to Lokomotiv with score 0:1, where they had many chances to score and even win the match, will try to return on the 1 place, and Spartak Nalchik is still for a survive. Home side, Spartak Nalchik, is on the 12 place with 29 points. As I have already said it’s too close to dangerous zone – only 3 points. Last round they could stop their lose streak as they could win away the main outsider Rostov 1:0. Also I must note that at home Spartak Nalchik is very strong: 5-5-2, goals 12:7. Today they will be with full squad.Away side, Spartak Moscow, is on the 2 place with 46 points. This midweek they played UEFA Cup match in Sweden against Hacken and they could win 3:1. But I can’t say that they are in a very good shape now. Also they have big problems with their squad as two best defenders Stranzl and Jiranek and the best midfielder Bystrov are out.The match of the first round has finished with score 2:2. The identical score was last year in Nalchik, in the meeting of these teams. Well I think that big emotional and psychological cargo won’t allow Spartak Moscow to win today. Pick : Home (+0.5 AH) Odds : 2.40 Bookmaker : Pinnacle
