    cheltenham play sheffield wednesday tonight having won 3-0 away at peterborough and beaten exeter 3-1 at home.
    Wednesday lost 4-2 at barnsley and 1-0 at forest green on sunday in their last two games. On sunday famewo and vaulks were rested
    and introduced in the second half. They are likely to be starting tonight. Byers and Windass are still both missing and likely to be so the forseeable future.
    Wednesday showed spirit at barnsley to come back to 2-2, however the performance at forest green was lacking both method and passion. The squad lacks depth, is ageing and also lacks pace.
    Wednesday may bounce back but i am surprised to see cheltenham at 19/4 with coral which looks good value. 
    bet: cheltenham 19/4 coral

    Can't resist Kane to score at 3.65 on BF. Best priced 15/8 with the bookies, the spread prices suggest around 9/4. I'm not convinced this will be a goalfest but I'm not sure our 'Arry should be quite that big a price.

    By my maths you’d need it to happen around 3 or 4 times in every 100 games you bet on, I worked through a couple of examples where you’d be making a small profit at the 2/1 and need 4 extra wins at the 7/4 to be better off (3 fell just short). The difference between the implied odds of the 2 prices is 3.03%.
    My gut feel was that dropping from 2/1 to 7/4 was pushing it in terms of being worthwhile, if you’d said 19/10 I’d have probably agreed. Just had a quick look at tomorrow’s England game where Sky Bet go 15/8 for Italy to win but 7/4 if you want the 2-up protection, just 1.58% difference. So I’d have said that 2/1 to 7/4 is a bit too big a drop and it’s worth seeing if a bookie who “charges” for the protection might offer you a better option than 365 who give it for free.

    A little footnote to backing barnsley
    I did it with bet365 who pay out if a team takes a 2 goal lead but they don't settle for about 15 mins and quote lower cash outs up to settlement.
    So if you have an account with bet365 and they are offering early payout it is well worth considering even if you can get better odds elsewhere.
    Had they not paid out early there would have been a rollercoaster of emotions with wednesday pulling back to 2-2 before conceding 2 in the last 10 minutes.

    Only if your name's not on their naughty list unfortunately! 
    It's a decent offer right enough, I know a few other firms do it but only in a dedicated market at slightly reduced odds, I'd be interested in the maths in terms of how much of a worse price it's worth taking to get the extra protection it offers. Obviously most teams who go 2 up will go on to win. 
    There's also the option to lay the team at short odds when they go 2 goals up.

    Denmark vs Scotland
    The 2022 World Cup qualifiers are back after the drama of the 2020 European Championship over the summer. Here, we have semi-finalists Denmark hosting an improving Scotland in a 7:45pm BST kick-off on Wednesday night in Group F from the Telia Parken in Copenhagen. Both teams are unbeaten in their qualification campaign so far so this is a chance for both to extend that positive start.
    Denmark endured a turbulent summer tournament with their opening game seeing their captain Christian Eriksen suffer a cardiac arrest on the pitch in their 1-0 loss to Finland. The Danes somehow managed to pick themselves up after that traumatic experience to galvanize and progress all the way to the last four before being eliminated against England after extra-time. Head coach Kasper Hjulmand has also led his team to the top of this group with 3 wins from their 3 group games so far scoring 14 goals and not conceding a single goal to date. The team is without a number of players due to covid restrictions and injuries with the likes of Kasper Dolberg, Jannik Vestergaard, and Martin Braithwaite amongst those missing.
    Scotland will have been disappointed to fail to make it out of their group at Euro 2020 but head coach Steve Clarke will be pleased with the progress his team are making after qualifying for their first major international tournament since 1998. The Tartan Army have picked up a draw against both Austria at home and Israel away before beating Faroe Islands in their most recent qualifier. It's propelled the Scots to 2nd in the table and a win here would move them to within 1 point of top spot. This is a severely weakened Scotland team though. A combination of covid-related reasons and injuries means the likes of John McGinn, Stephen O'Donnell, Scott McTominay, James Forrest, Stuart Armstrong, and Greg Taylor all miss this triple header.
    It's hard to say which way this game will go with two essentially B teams with a smattering of first team players going up against each other. I still find it astonishing that UEFA have scheduled three games to take place during this window. It seems insane. I think Denmark will probably have the better quality in depth to handle the barrage of absentees on both teams so a narrow home win looks the best bet.

    Denmark vs Scotland
    After an excellent campaign in the EURO 2020, the home side wants to continue in the same fashion here. They stand very well in the World Cup Quals and top Group F with all three wins so far. Denmark opened the campaign with a 2:0 win in Israel, while they stormed through Austria with a 4:0 victory. Meanwhile, Kasper Hjulmand’s side trashed Moldova by netting eight times in that clash. Kasper Schmeichel and the lads still haven’t conceded in these qualifiers, while their teammates from the final third scored 14 times. This summer, Denmark reached the semi-finals in EURO 2020, failing to an extra-time defeat against England. The hosts are on a good track of securing a place in Qatar 2022 and head to another successful campaign.
    Scotland didn’t enjoy its EURO 2020 adventure too much, despite qualifying for the final tournament for the first time since 1996. Although they played twice at Hampden Park, Steve Clarke’s side lost twice at the home ground. They only managed to snatch a point in a goalless draw against England and finished their campaign in the group stage. However, Scotland still hasn’t tasted a defeat in the World Cup Quals. The visitors drew against Austria and Israel while they were confident against the Faroe Islands at home. Scotland will likely fight for 2nd place in Group F as they are already four points behind their upcoming rivals. They can get really close to Denmark, but a very tough challenge is ahead of them.
    Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
    Denmark was one of the biggest overachievers in EURO 2020, and they should keep up where they left off. We believe the hosts will meet the expectations and deliver a win in this clash.
    Goals Market Prediction
    Head-to-head clashes between these two sides have been pretty tight so far. Scotland is a very disciplined side, and although they have trouble scoring, they don’t concede too much. Since Denmark kept the clean sheet in all three rounds so far, we don’t expect to see more than two goals in total.

    Liverpool vs Chelsea
    The big game of the weekend in the Premier League is the 5:30pm BST kick-off on Saturday afternoon between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield. Both of these teams are considered as some of the big title challengers for this season. Can either side inflict an early season defeat on their rivals or will we end up with both teams cancelling each other out?
    Liverpool have looked their old selves this season so far with commanding wins over Norwich and Burnley by a 3-0 and 2-0 score-line respectively. Injury concerns are now behind Jurgen Klopp's men and the defensive fragilities of last season are a distant memory. The Reds are set to welcome back left back Andrew Robertson but it's fair to say that his deputy Kostas Tsimikas has done a decent job in his absence but Robertson has to be considered as one of the best full backs in the world right now. Liverpool are now on a run of 7 straight league victories going back to last season. The team has also managed 46 shots over their opening two matches which is more than any other club in the top flight this season. Diogo Jota could become just the fourth player to score in his first three league games of the season for Liverpool after Robbie Fowler, Daniel Sturridge, and Sadio Mane.
    Chelsea have looked every bit the title contenders they are being tipped to be this season. Thomas Tuchel's side are continuing their fine form from last season which saw them qualify for the Champions League and win the Champions League. A convincing 3-0 win at home to Crystal Palace was followed up by a solid 2-0 victory away to Arsenal in their two league games thus far. The Blues could win their opening three Premier League games without conceding a goal for just the fourth time here. The watertight defence that become symbolic of Chelsea's form at the back end of last season has continued this season with the team conceding a division low of 10 shots in their first two league games. Tuchel's record isn't great against Klopp though having lost 9 of their 15 meetings.
    What a fascinating encounter we have on our hands here for this game. Both sides have looked flawless so far this season and with their defences looking in such fine fettle it wouldn't be a surprise to see this end in a cautious 0-0 draw. I certainly think the draw offers the best price. I can't see a lot separating these two teams. I'm just very excited about this one... which means it'll undoubtedly end in an anti-climactic drab affair.

    Liverpool vs Chelsea
    The hosts opened the season with a trip to newly-promoted Norwich and got back home with a comfortable 3:0 victory. Jurgen Klopp’s side managed to pick up where it left off and celebrate another win last weekend. The reds were dominant against Burnley, while Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane converted it for a 2:0 win. However, this is going to be the toughest test for the home side this season. They face another title candidate, hoping to do better than in their latest clash. Liverpool has its defense clean from injuries, and consequently, they kept two clean sheets in a row. Nevertheless, we’ll see if they can stop Chelsea’s forwards.
    The Blues have the same record and goal difference as their rivals. They easily beat Crystal Palace in their domestic season opener, while Chelsea was better than Arsenal in London Derby. Thomas Tuchel’s side managed to win another continental trophy by celebrating a win against Villarreal after the penalty shootout. Chelsea seems to have kept their discipline from the end of the previous campaign. On the other hand, the Blues signed Romelu Luaku back, and he should be a major threat to the oppositions’ goalkeepers. The Belgian international already scored against Arsenal, but can he net again against the Reds?
    Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
    We anticipate a big fight between these two sides, and this clash could go either way. In our opinion, Chelsea could leave Anfield undefeated, and although a draw is very likely, we will back the Blues in a DNB.
    Goals Market Prediction
    Both sides still haven’t conceded, but they have significant attacking potential. After two straight low-scoring head-to-head clashes, we could see some goals here. Therefore, we believe both sides will be able to find the back of the net in this clash.

    Brighton vs Watford
    I'm very excited for the 5:30pm BST kick-off on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League when Brighton will host Watford at the Amex Stadium. These are two sides that play an attractive brand of football. The home side turned a 1-0 score-line into a 2-1 win away to Burnley last weekend and the away team blitzed Aston Villa by a 3-2 score at home in their first game back in the top flight. What will this game bring?
    Brighton have long been a team I've admired under Graham Potter but they have lacked that cutting edge in the final third. It looked like it might be the same old issues repeating themselves when they went 1-0 down last week but the Seagulls showed the resilience and fight to come back to win. Potter has striker Aaron Connolly back in the mix after he missed last week's game for personal reasons but Danny Welbeck and Tariq Lamptey are both still out and Joel Veltman is self-isolating. The team is on a great home run at the moment and could equal a club record of six Premier League games without losing if they avoid defeat here. They didn't pick up a win in their opening 10 home league games last season so they'll be keen to nip that in the bud here. Potter himself will have fond memories of taking on Watford. He picked up a 3-0 win the Premier League against them in his first game in charge of Brighton back in 2019.
    Watford didn't exactly enjoy a great end to their 2019/20 season in the Premier League losing their last six away league games. The 3-2 win over Aston Villa last weekend will have given the players a lot of self belief heading into this game but they face a completely different challenge in Brighton who offer a more possession-based game. Watford only won 2 of their 19 away league games the last time they were in the top flight. One interesting statistics is that Watford have scored an own goal in each of their last two meetings with Brighton. The Hornets are one of the in-form teams in English football though with 18 league wins in 2021. Only Manchester City have picked up more with 20 in the top four divisions.
    History doesn't offer positive reading for Watford fans with Brighton having never lost a top flight home game against Watford. However, the home team has won just 3 of the last 13 meetings between these two clubs. I do feel Brighton have it in them to win this game but it depends if Watford can carry their form from the Villa game into this one. If Brighton can keep Ismaila Sarr quiet then it's half of the job done. He's a tough man to keep quiet though and even then do Brighton have the fire power to win? I think they might just sneak it.

    Manchester City vs Norwich
    The final 3pm BST kick-off on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League that I'm covering is the clash between reigning champions Manchester City and newly promoted Norwich at the Etihad Stadium. A shock defeat for the league title holders means the pressure is on for them to get a win here against a travelling side that probably couldn't have asked for a much tougher start to their league campaign.
    Manchester City have courted controversy all pre-season with their £100 million signing of Jack Grealish and their relentless hunt of England striker Harry Kane. However, the Citizens came unstuck against Nuno Espirito Santo's Tottenham last weekend and it's led to many questioning if Pep Guardiola has learned from the mistakes of previous years. Guardiola is still without Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne will face a fitness test for this game but Ilkay Gundogan is back available. It is now three games lost in a row without scoring for the first time since 2007 for City. A defeat here would inflict four defeats in a row on Guardiola for the first time in his managerial career. Worryingly, only Manchester United have lost their opening league game of a season and gone on to win the league title.
    Norwich had it tough last week in their 3-0 loss at home to Liverpool and it doesn't get any easier this week. Daniel Farke's side will be disappointed they couldn't at least score given the periods of pressure they applied on the Reds back-line but can they take City's scalp just like they did in their last Premier League campaign? The Canaries haven't lost their opening two top flight league games of a season since 1987. However, they are currently on a Premier League losing streak of 11 matches and have scored just 2 goals in their last 15 Premier League games. Goalkeeper Tim Krul considers the Etihad Stadium a hellish place having lost each of his 6 visits there and conceding 25 goals. Norwich have also managed just 2 wins from their last 31 visits to Manchester City.
    I'm not expecting this to be anything other than a comfortable win for Manchester City. The opening game loss was more a Santo vs Guardiola thing and less so flaws within the City set-up. I can see them bouncing back in style here with Norwich getting a brutal re-introduction to life in the Premier League. City have scored 21 goals in their last 5 home Premier League games against Norwich so I can see that trend continuing.

    Liverpool vs Burnley
    The Premier League enters its second round of games this weekend with the 12:30pm BST kick-off on Saturday afternoon between Liverpool and Burnley at Anfield taking centre stage to start proceedings. It was a contrasting opening week for these teams with the home side hoping to make it 2 wins from 2 matches against an away team who will still be wondering how they let 3 points get away from them last weekend.
    Liverpool showed in their 3-0 win over newly promoted Norwich that they are looking more like the team that stormed to the 2019/20 Premier League title than the injury-ravaged squad that struggled to get into the top four last season. Jurgen Klopp is clearly delighted to have the majority of his big names back fit and firing. It's also clear that Mohamed Salah has picked up right where he left off once again. The Reds haven't suffered defeat in their first home league game of a season since losing 2-1 to Chelsea back in 2003/04. Current form is decent for Liverpool too unbeaten in their last 11 matches and having won their last 6 league games. Salah might be in scoring form again but if you want a longer priced anytime scorer then Diogo Jota has scored 10 goals in his 20 appearances for Liverpool.
    Burnley threw away a 1-0 lead to lose 2-1 at home to Brighton last week. It was a huge blow for Sean Dyche's men who would have hoped to get off to a winning start against a team they considered relegation rivals last season. The defeat for the Clarets means that a loss here would inflict a fifth straight Premier League defeat in a row on the club for the first time in their history. It's well known how Burnley have a poor start to their Premier League campaigns but they have won just 2 of their last 14 opening away league games of the season. Chris Wood will once again be the man to watch having been involved in 9 of the last 12 Burnley goals consisting of 6 goals and 3 assists. There is also hope for Burnley fans because it was Burnley who ended Liverpool's 68-game unbeaten home league run last season.
    I backed Liverpool to hit their best form again this season with Virgil Van Dijk returning and Klopp bolstering his squad with the arrival of Ibrahima Konate. I think they showed glimpses of that against Norwich and I think we'll see further evidence here. Burnley are notorious for starting their Premier League campaigns slowly and this season looks no different. I would be surprised if Liverpool don't cruise to a business-like win here.

    Leeds United vs Everton
    The hosts didn’t enjoy their start of the campaign, as they suffered a heavy 5:1 defeat away to Manchester United. Despite equalizing at the beginning of the second half, Leeds conceded four goals in 15 minutes. Marcelo Bielsa needs to address defensive issues urgently if the home side wants to have another successful campaign. Leeds won just once in prep matches, while they conceded less than two goals just once on seven occasions. Even the lower league side Guiseley managed to score twice against the Whites. On the other hand, Patrick Bamford and the lads were pretty efficient in the front, failing to score only once in the last 12 matches. Leeds should become tighter in the back if they want to aim for the mid-table finish.
    Everton had a confident start, as they celebrated a 3:1 victory against Southampton. Rafa Benitez had a successful debut on the Toffees’ bench, and the visitors want to keep up where they left off. The away side enjoyed a very good first half of the last season, but they eventually finished 10th. However, they were excellent on the road, winning 11 times in 19 outings. Everton wants to challenge the continental qualification this time, and they will search for another good display.
    Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
    After a tough defeat in the opening round, Leeds United will search for their first points here. However, Everton is a very challenging opponent, and the visitors are capable of remaining undefeated. Therefore, we believe these two sides will split the points in this encounter.
    Goals Market Prediction
    The hosts have severe troubles in the back, while they have been pretty clinical in front of the oppositions’ net. Leeds United has been involved in many efficient matches lately, and we don’t think either side will keep the clean sheet in this one.

    Norwich vs Liverpool
    The evening kick-off at 5:30pm BST on Saturday in the Premier League is newly promoted Norwich against one of the favourites for the title Liverpool at Carrow Road. This was the opening fixture when the home team were last in the top flight and on that occasion it ended in a 4-1 defeat for the Norfolk side. Will this clash produce a different outcome or more of the same?
    Norwich are back in the top flight of English football and they did it in convincing fashion by winning the Championship title last season. Daniel Farke has claimed that his team has learned from their last outing in the Premier League but the proof will be in the pudding. A number of players have been brought in to strengthen this Canaries squad including Billy Gilmour, Ben Gibson, and Milot Rashica. Josh Sargent is an interesting addition from Werder Bremen because he offers genuine competition for Teemu Pukki up front and you feel that was desperately needed by Norwich. Midfielder Przemyslaw Placheta and defender Andrew Omobamidele are both ruled out. It's just 1 win in 9 attempts for Norwich in Premier League opening league games. A worrying stat is that the club haven't won at home on the opening day of a league season since 2002 when they beat Grimsby 4-0. It's also now 10 Premier League games lost in a row for Norwich stretching back to their last time in the top flight.
    Liverpool will be pleased to have put their injury woes of last season behind them. One player that epitomised those problems was centre back Virgil Van DIjk who missed the majority of last season through injury. He returns here but the Reds will still be without left back Andrew Robertson who has an ankle injury. Curtis Jones is likely to also miss out through concussion and the fitness of both Thiago and Jordan Henderson will be tested before kick-off. It's just 1 loss from the last 11 opening day league games for Liverpool. Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool have scored 19 goals in their 5 opening games of the season. Mohamed Salah could be a player to back as an anytime scorer today having scored on each of the last 4 Premier League seasons.
    The head-to-head meetings doesn't make for pleasant reading for Norwich fans with Liverpool unbeaten in the last 14 Premier League encounters. This is added to by the fact Liverpool have won each of their last 7 visits to Carrow Road. The 18 times these two sides have met in the Premier League have produced an average of 3.83 goals per game. I'm going to have to back a solid Liverpool win with plenty of goals flying around.

    Early weeks of the season are always a bit tricky, but I'm going to tell you all right now, this one is a banker.
    I'm a United supporter, and this team is the best they've put together in years.  However, they are missing a number of integral parts here for the first few weeks.  Varane should be a great partner for Maguire at CB but he's out.  Sancho is the class you've been looking for on the wing, but again, will not be there. Rashford is a terrific attacking option, but he'll be out for weeks. That said, United will be fielding a terrific attacking lineup here.  Fernandes, Pogba, Cavani, Greenwood will be absolutely hungry for goals, Martial hasn't been on the pitch for months, James is coming off a terrific Euro2020 performance, Donny VanDeBeek is an excellent player, Diallo is an up and coming attacking option, not to mention a number of their kids had a great pre-season, United are going to get some goals here.  The issue is, and has been for a while, is they are going to concede as well.  Leeds plays a very high pressure game, and they are not going to catch anyone by surprise this year, but this will be a find spot for them to start the season. Perhaps Phillips is not available for them, but either way, United has not shown they have been good enough to keep clean sheets,  This is a cracker of an opener and I'm very much looking forward to this year.  City looks like they should have the best of it on paper, and Liverpool and Chelsea have very good sides as well, but United really has a strong side here this year, and I'm certainly looking forward to the season.
    For this match I'm definitely backing goals and have a big stake on o2.75 at -120.    First game of the season doesn't warrant a big bet, but this is as big as I'll place this weekend.  This game will get 3 goals almost certainly.  g'luck

    Manchester United vs Leeds
    The early kick-off on Saturday at 12:30pm BST in the Premier League is a big one that comes from Old Trafford where old rivals Manchester United and Leeds go head-to-head in their first league games. As @dylanphan states, this fixture is looking likely to have goals in it but who will come out on top? Is it a banker for the home team or will the visitors spring a surprise victory?
    Manchester United have done decent business in this summer transfer window with the signing of Jadon Sancho and imminent arrival of Rafael Varane. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been quick to play up his team's chances of being involved in the title race which I must say is a rather odd approach to have when all the others managers around him are playing down their title aspirations. Anyway, United were exemplary away from home last season becoming just the third club in top flight history to go the season undefeated on the road after Preston in 1888/89 and Arsenal in 2001/02. However, they lost 6 of their 19 home league games last season. Conceding goals at home was a problem for the Red Devils last season too letting in 28 goals in their 19 home league games. No additions to the defence yet suggests this is a problem that might not be remedied yet. If United are going to win this game then they need Bruno Fernandes to continue his prolific form of 26 goals and 19 assists since he joined the club in February, 2020.
    Leeds begin their second season back in the Premier League with a lot of people questioning if last season's 9th placed finish was a one-off or if we can expect the same again. Their tally of 58 points last season was the second highest achieved by a newly promoted team in a 38-game English top flight season after Ipswich's 66 points in 2000/01. The Whites come into this campaign off the back of a very positive end to last season that saw them win their last 4 league games. Manager Marcelo Bielsa will be pleased to have made the Jack Harrison transfer from Manchester City permanent and the arrival of Junior Firpo from Barcelona is an exciting one. If Leeds can maintain the high tempo pressing game they have played so well under Bielsa then there's no reason they can't finish in the top 10 again and even flirt with a potential push for European qualification this season.
    The two fixtures between these two teams offered contrasting outcomes with Manchester United winning their home game 6-2 and the game at Leeds ending in a 0-0 draw. Leeds have improved a lot defensively as their time in the Premier League has gone on but against a side as rich in attacking talents as Manchester United they'll have a hard time keeping a clean sheet again. I can see a chaotic opening game with both teams not quite 100% and I'm sure we'll see a high-scoring game with United likely coming away with the win.
