Norway - Tippeligaen Rosenborg - Aalesund Pick: 1 Unit Handicap -1,5 1,97 @ Pinnacle 2 July 18:00 Rosenborg recently lost the hegemony in the Norwegian soccer and it has not been easy to reconquer it. After having lost the championship for Brann in the last season, this season Rosenborg are with dificulties again finding themselves, iin the 8th position of the table.. The formation of Trondheim initiated badly the season, and after a recovery phase it came back to suffer one fallen again, yielding two ties in the last 2 games. With 9 points of distance from first position it is preoccupying, but recoverable, however for this it is necessary not to lose unexpected points, and nothing better that beat this day in its land worse team of Norway playing away from home. The Aalesund regiters 6 defeats, in 6 games away from home, having scored only for 3 times and suffering 15 goals! It is, therefore a good game to Rosenborg return to the victories, and in great, with much goals scored.

Re: Norway, Tippeliga, 27-30th of June. Norway - Tippeligaen Fredrikstad - Valerenga Pick: 1 Unit 2,40 @ Bet 365 30 of June 18:00 Fredrikstad receives today Valerenga in a very important meeting to the home team because they have the chance to shorten the distance for 2 points face to the leader Stabaek. Fredrikstad should appear very motivated for this match, because the defeat that the Stabaek suffered yesterday was totally unexpected, for what the Fredrikstad will have to be conscientious that this is a chance that they shouldn't waste. This season the Fredrikstad, at home has been very strong, having only lost three points in five games. The defeat was against Stabaek, and in the other four games, they account for victories all of them, with some big wins. Valerenga is having a beginning of match a little below of its capacities remaining itself for 8º place at the end of 10 matches. Out of home Valerenga beated Viking and Lillestrom, having registered three defeats, which shows that they are a dangerous team, but has not been very strong rthis season. For all these reasons the formation of the house should enter very strong in the match, route to a victory that will be able to open again the fight for the title

Re: Wimbledon 23rd June - 6th July Tennis - Wimbledon Nicolas Mahut - Dmitry Tursunov Pick: 1 Unit 2.00 @ Bet365 24 June Match between Dmitry Tursunov (nº33) and Nicolas Mahut (nº58 world-wide) for the first round of the emblematic Wimbledon tournament, that is considered by lots of people the best of the modality. Both players have a positive performance in grass, what it makes to foresee a match sufficiently balanced and disputed. Tursunov has 21 victories and 12 defeats in this type of surface and Mahut was successful for 19 times, having lost in 11 occasions. During this season Tursdunov it has been better that Mahut, what if reflecte in the classification in ranking world-wide of both. In the last year Mahut got an interesting register in grass, however in Wimbledon where all the best ones are, it did not pass of second round, and Tursunov reached the 3ª phase of the test. Dmitry Tursunov has demonstrated to be better that Mahut, because he already got 4 ATP titles, one of them this year, and Mahut never won a ATP title, what it demonstrates that Tursunov is a player with bigger quality, what it could be determinative in a game that it foresees sufficiently balanced. Our choice, hangs for the side of the Russian for the reasons already pointed and the superior value from odd with respect to the victory of Tursunov.

Volleyball - World League Cuba - Russia Pick: 1 Unit 1,94 @ Pinnacle 20 June 23:45 Game disputed in Havana, between the home team Cuba, against one of the strongest candidates to win the League, Russia. Russia is at this moment 2º in world ranking behind Brazil, while Cuba has gone down and is at this moment 17º of ranking. In the first games of this group Russia won the 2 games disputed against Korea, while Cuba gained a game and lost another one with Italy in Havana. Russia is at this moment leader of the group with 4 points. Russia is a powerfull team, that was second place in the World Championship of 2007, and was second place in the World League of 2007, always defeated in the final by Brazil, and is presented in this World League with the will to win the League, being the main adversary of powerful Brazil. Russia already had gained everything the world-wide level, how about Cuba had as high point the victory in the World League of 1998. Russia is stuffed of good players and as great favourite that is, will have to impose its law in this first game in Havana.

Soccer - Euro 2008 Spain - Sweden Pick: 1 Unit Over 2.5 2.40 @ Expekt 14 June 17:00 Two teams that don't like to defend, and with great offensive talents.In the Spanish side we have Villa, Torres, Fabregas, Silva; at the Swedish side are Ibrahimovic, Larsson, Ljungberg, Kallstrom. They are therefore two teams with undeniable offensive capacities, that joining this to its offensive mentality will have to provide a great spectacle, with delicious goals, many chances, details, that is all the necessary condiments for a good game of soccer. The first game of these teams confirmed its offensive style, Spain scores for 4 times to Russia through an intense and fast attack, Sweden defeated the European champion for two balls without reply. The defensive level of these teams can't be consider properly strong, Spain disclosed to some defensive difficulties front to Russia, the Swedish will have to proof their defensive abilities because they played with Greece that are zero attacking, however, I can affirm that Sweden is not a team that throughout the times has demonstrated great defensive capacities, and in this Euro must not have great changes to this respect. In such a way, I think to be congregated the conditions for a full game of emotion where the goals will have to appear.

Handball - World Championship Playoff Romania - Montenegro Pick: 1 Unit Montenegro +5 1.81 @ Pinnacle 14 June 11:00 Second hand of the Playoff for the next World Championship, in the first hand disputed in Montenegro, the home team won 31-27. Now the game will be disputed in the Romania, Rumanian team will have to recover the disadvantage of 4 goals brought of Montenegro. Romania already was one of the most powerful teams of the World. They had one the world Title by 4 times in the 60 and 70 decade. After that Romania has become a normal team, and today its name doesn't figure between the best teams in the world. Since 1995 that Romania does not participate in the World Championship. Montenegro never participated in a World Championship, normal, because they are a youth country(ex-Yugoslavia). Yugoslavia was also a great power of the World of Handball, gained the Championship of the world a time, was runner up another time and was in 3º place for 4 times. Montenegro is a team with school and will try to enter in the World Championship for the first time. They wonin the first game for 4 goals of advantage and will go to Romania trying to defend these 4 goals of advantage, knowing that the pressure will be all of the Rumanian side that has to recover the result. We think that Romania will have an extremely difficult game. We think that these game will be very balanced but that Montenegro will not go to lose the advantage conquered in its land.

Re: Austria v Poland (Thursday) Soccer - European Championship 2008 Austria - Poland Pick: 1 Unit 2.30 @ Bet-at-home 12 June 19:45 Game between the two teams that had lost the first game in Group B. This is a game of maximum importance for both, who lose automatically is moved away from the Quarter-Finals of EURO 2008. Austria plays at home, but its limitations are well known, they are considered by all the weakker team in the Euro, and that are only present for being one of the host countries of the Euro. Although all its fragilities, made a good game against Croatia, but are insufficient Croatia scored a goal in the first minutes and held this advantage until the final whistle. Poland are stronger , made an excellent qualification having been in first place of their group ahead of Portugal, Serbia and Belgium. In the first game of this Euro they had lost with one of the great favourites, powerful Germany but they had made a good game, tried to fight with Germany but defensive errors had knocked down Poland. Austria playing at home will have a bigger support, this can be bad because it gonna create greater nervousness in the inexperienced team of Austria. Poland will enter in this game very concentrated and determined to be successful, they have players of better quality and that are foccused in following for the Quarter-Finals.

Croatia v Germany (17:00BST) 6.00 3.40 1.83 100.62 % Soccer - Euro 2008 Germany - Croatia Pick: 1 Unit 1.83 @ Pinnacle 12 June 17:00 This game will be very important for these two teams, the winner will be very close to conquering first place of the group, that will allow him not to play with the first one of the Group A. Germany confirmed credentials in the first match of this Euro, where they demonstrate mobility of the offensive three composed by Podolski, Klose and Mario Gomez who confused the Polish defense, forcing it to commit it errors. That Germany is a great team, we already know, the doubt was to know if they would be well in this Euro, and the game with the Poland, where it was successful for 2-0, was important to finish with the doubts. At the other hand Croatia beat fragile Austria for 1-0 in the inaugural game of the group. Croatia entered in that match with a goal of Modric of penalty kick, then they pass the rest of the game in a conservative position.. Croatia demonstrate fragilities at physical and offensive level, if in the game with Germany they don't present physically better, hardly will obtain a good result in the game with powerfull and confident Germany that after the convincing victory with Poland are much more motivated.

Women Handball - Playoff of the European Championship Croatia - Montenegro Pick: 1 Unit Croatia-3 1,90 @ Pinnacle 7 June 14:30 Second hand of playoff for the Final Phase of the European Championship of Handball. Game goes to be disputed in Croatia. In the first hand Montenegro playing at home won for 40-35, obtaining a good advantage for this second hand in Croatia. Montenegro that was second in his group in the qualification phase, behind the Slovakia and ahead of Portugal. Croatia did not need to play the phase of Qualification, just need to win this eliminatory of the Playoff to be present in the final phase. In the last European Championship disputed in 2006 in Sweden, Croatia was in 7º place, and only for 2 places it is not present directly in the final phase this year. Their best result was 6º place in 1998. How about Montenegro, this is their first participation after the separation of the Serbia. In this second hand between rival countries (both ex-Yugoslavia countries), Croatia goes to show their bigger experience in these competitions to recover a disadvantage of 5 goals. We think that due to the lack of experience of Montenegro, that participates for the first time, the Croatian team will obtain a victory and probably recoverl the disadvantage brought of Montenegro. So, we go in handicap.

Soccer - Norway Tippeligaen Rosenborg - Brann Pick: 1 Unit 1.90 @ Sportingbet 4 of June 19:00 Rosenborg, after a disastrous beginning, are in clear recovery, with 3 consecutive victories, two at home, at the other hand Brann, Norwegian champion, that comes of a game where they could have assumed 2º place of the table, but they lost in home for 4-3 with Molde that is in the bottom of the table. They are teams with a significant mental state differences, even because in victory case Rosenborg can pass some adversaries in the table, between which, the Brann. Brann has gotten great part of its points at home, only lost three points in the last game, out of his stadium they only was successful for one time in four meetings, in the home of Viking. Rosenborg at home have already two defeats, in the initial phase of the season, that was really disastrous, but in the last two meetings at home they beat with clarity the Lillestrom for 4-0 and Viking for 2-0, that confirms the good moment of the team, Rosenborg had also win in Molde (team that was successful in Brann) for two balls to one. For these factors, it seems me perfectly natural that the formation of Rosenborg does not waste plus a chance to continue the scaling that comes making in the league.

Gael Monfils plays in home, with a backup of his public and has demonstrated that playing supported by them, he becomes a very difficult player to beat, Arnaud Clement, Luis Horna and Jurgen Melzer are examples of that. On the other hand Ivan Ljubicic, that had two accessible players in the two first games against Eric Prodon and Diego Junqueira, eliminating then Davidenko in a good performance of the Bosnian. These players had never played each other in clay, for what he becomes an unexpected meeting, even though in our opinion the support that Monfils will have can be decisive. Monfils 3-1 Ljubicic :clap

Re: Norway Tippeligaen, 31.may-2.june Soccer - Tippeligaen Rosenborg - Viking Pick: 1 Unit 1,85 @ Expekt 1 of June 18:00 Rosenborg is finally achieving the top of the table, after two good victories: 4-0 to the Lillestrom and a victory in Mold for 2-1. Rosenborg has the chance to climb some positions on the table on this day, in case of victory. Viking has already won for two times away, but it shouldn't have capacity to surprise the motivated formation of Rosenborg that counts in its rows with players as Kvarme, Strand, Kone and Iversen who demonstrate the potential of this team, as well as its high experience. The victory of today is fulcral for Rosenborg start to look to the top of the table with hope, so i think that tehere's only a possible result for today, the victory of the Norwegian colossus. www.apostadesonho.com.sapo.pt

Volleyball - European Championship Qualification Eslovénia - Holland Pick: 1 Unit 1.73 @ Sportingbet 19:00 Second patrol of the Qualification for the Championship of the Europe, in 1ª patrol disputed in Holland, the selecção of the house won the 3 games, beating for partial of equips them to 3-0 of the Letónia, Azerbeijão and Eslóvenia. The Eslovénia won the Letónia and the Azerbeijão being in 2º place. Now 2ªronda is disputed in Eslovénia one, in which Eslovénia and Holland go to decide who follow in front, visa to be 2 stronger. For this game it enters the best selecções of the group, the favourite person or thing is without a doubt the selecção of Holland, that in 1ªronda won the Eslovénia with the partial ones of 25-23, 25-13, 25-13. Holland already was one of the best ones equips of the world, having already profit the OlÃmpicos Games, the European Championship and the World League. In recent years she has not been one it equips so strong and it fell for 29º place of ranking world-wide. How much the Eslovénia is a selecção without history in the world-wide Voleibol and that it occupies 49º place of ranking world-wide. The Eslovénia goes to play in house before its adepts, but still thus me it does not seem that this is enough to lead of vanquished a selecção of Holland that it needs to be successful to follow in front and that it has sufficiently more quality. http://apostadesonho.com.sapo.pt/BOAS%20PICKS.html

Soccer - Friendly Austria - Malta Pick: 1 Unit Austria -1 @ 1,60 Sportingbet 19:30 Austria continues the preparation for the Euro that will take place in its country and Switzerland, in a joint organization. The Austrian formation is conscientious of their limitations but the team will play for their fans and for their own pride. The recent ties at 1-1with Nigeria demonstrates that the team can be sufficiently competitive. In this meeting front to the fragile Malta, the Austrians will want with certainty to test its power and to beat Malta by higher numbers on the scoreboard. It is a fact that Malta comes to developping, having beaten the Liechtenstein for 7-1 recently, however “timing†of the meeting sends for Austria an unquestionable favoritism, that in my opinion will have to result in a clear victory of the Austrians.

These 2 players had met already during this month in the ATP of Hamburg, in a time where already the thought are only in Roland Garros, in yhat game the victory was for Verdasco that would finish for being eliminated in the quarter-finals by Federer. Verdasco is at a good moment of form, although this, he did not have easy games in the previous rounds, won Santiago Ventura for 3-1 and also for 3-1 it won the Argentine Chela. How about Youzhny, is a player with great potential, that started the season very well, and conquer a tournament where it beat in the final the spanishNadal, he counts on few games in clay, but appeared here in Roland Garros in the maximum form. In the 2 previous rounds he easy beat Benjamin Becker and Máximo Gonzalez in 3 easily sets. Youzhny is a very strong player and want a good result here in France, to come close to top ten of ranking. Already he showed in this tournament to be very strong and motivated, therefore we think that Youzhny tomorrow goes to get the revenge of the recent defeat of Hamburg, and gonna beat Verdasco, odd seems us very good.

Re: French Open 25th May - 8th June Tennis - Roland Garros Alejandro Falla - Ivo Karlovic Pick: 1 Unit Karlovic -5 2.01 @ Pinnacle Ivo Karlovic and Alejandro Falla face in 1ºround of Roland Garros. Karlovic is at this moment nº21 of ranking ATP, crossing a moment of ascent of form with two good performances in Hamburg and Rome in both eliminated in 3ª roundl for Djokovic and Federer, two top players. The Croatian player appears enough prepared to make good figure in this so prestigiated tournament. In this first meeting Ivo Karlovic finds the Colombian Alejandro Falla, who currently occupies place 108 of ranking ATP. Falla has not had a good season, was without playing some time and it only counts on a match in clay, in which a player of second plan had beat him. Karlovic and Falla had never confrotted, it will be the first confrontation between the two, and Karlovic far seems to be the favourite, we expect an easy victory of the Croatian.

Re: Norway Tippeligaen, 24-26 may Norway - Tippeligaen Stabaek - Aalesund Pick: 1 Unit Stabaek -1 1.88 @ Jetbull 26 of May 18:00 Stabaek, Norwegian vice-champion, and current leader, have a strong begin of season and has in this game a good chance to get a interesting advantage (4 points) to the second. Stabaek doesn't lost this year, conceding only two ties outside home. At home, Stabaek has been unstoppable with 3 victories in 3 games, 8 goals scored and only 2 suffered. At the other side is the fragile Aalesund, promoted at two years ago. This team is occupies at this moment 12º rank with only 6 points in 7 games, fruit of two victories at home. In the away games this team presents a poor register with 4 defeats in 4 meetings, and scored only 2 goals, and suffered 10! These numbers help to explain that the victory of Stabaek, beyond being previsible, will not have to be for tangential numbers, we bet in a victory for more than one goal of the team that seems to be stronger in t in Tippeligaen 2008. http://apostadesonho.com.sapo.pt/BOAS%20PICKS.html

Volleyball - World League Spain - U.S.A. Pick: 1 Unit 2,41 @ Pinnacle 4 July In perspective a great game between world-wide ranking nº6 Spain and U.S.A. nº3 of the world. At the end of 6 games in group C of the World League the North Americans lead with only one defeat, being followed by Bulgaria with two defeats, and for Spain with three. It is a group extremely balanced, that will even have to be disputed close to the end for three teams of great level. The Americans are in the top, but they have an advantage, already made all the games with the weaker team of the group Finland, having registered 4 victories in the 4 games. On the other hand, in the meeting with a direct adversary (Bulgaria) at home they had won a game and lost the second game, what demonstrates that their classification at the moment is fruit of the calendar, and will be able to start to suffer alterations already in the next round. How about the Spanish they had entered badly, with two clear defeats in Bulgaria. Followed they had received and beat the Finnish in the two games, following itself it Bulgaria, also at home, where they had a defeat and a win in the 2 games, for what it assumes great importance a victory on the Americans with sight to the recovery in the table. This is a game between two teams very equalized, the Americans had been 4º in the world championship and the Spanish 5º, for what a game of great balance is expected, where the factor home will be able to unbalance.
