    Norwich City v West Bromwich Albion > Saturday April 5th

    in Premier League Predictions

    Posted

    Re: Norwich City v West Bromwich Albion > Saturday April 5th Norwich v West Bromwich Albion - Draw - 23/10 Bet365 It's a game of two inconsistent sides here as Norwich host WBA,with Leroy Fer missing and Joseph Yobo doubtful. The Canaries were beat 3-0 by Swansea last time after a 2-0 win at home to Sunderland. They find themselves just above the relegation scrap and may well be involved if they don't pick up points. They have a really tough run in and the pressure is truly on to try and get something out of this clash. WBA and Pepe Mel got the monkey off their shoulder with the win over Swansea though they've since went on to lose to Hull and concede a very late goal to Cardiff, giving away two points. Much like Norwich they have a very hard run-in and it's a big game. Yacob, Jones and Brunt all miss out. This could be a really edgy affair and a draw is entirely possible.

    Chelsea v Stoke City > Saturday April 5th

    Re: Chelsea v Stoke City > Saturday April 5th Chelsea v Stoke - Stoke win - 14/1 BetVictor Bit of a value bet for me here as I'd have had Stoke a decent bit shorter. Chelsea lost in Paris midweek and look to continue their title challenge here. They still miss Eto'o, Cole and Ramires. The game midweek may have taken a bit out of the players and it's more than likely going to be very close to the same eleven from Wednesday lining up here three days later. Mournho said they can't win the league now. I doubt he believes it though and should have the side ready for this. Stoke, who have already beaten Chelsea this season, head here in great form. They haven't lost since a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in February and smashed Vila 4-1 away before a 1-0 win over Hull lately. The win at Villa Park was the first away from home since October so that was a bit of a monkey off the back, achieved in great style. Only Robert Huth is out for the Potters and they're in a completely pressure free situation. It won't be easy for Stoke but I give them a better chance than the bookies here and I'll happily take that price on offer.

    Cardiff City v Crystal Palace > Saturday April 5th

    Re: Cardiff City v Crystal Palace > Saturday April 5th Cardiff v Crystal Palace - Draw - 11/5 Ladbrokes Cardiff are generally in good form in comparison to what you'd realistically expect. The late equalising draw v WBA last time showed a real fight in the side and encouraging performances against higher placed side before have showed their ability in this company. They go into this game with fellow relegation candidates Palace, with only Craig Noone and Mark Hudson missing. P Palace were unlucky at St James Park two starts ago, they then went on to beat Chelsea 1-0 and they'll be in a great mood ahead of this important clash. Only Dwight Gayle misses out. Pulis is the safety expert in the Premiership and knows how to set his sides up to deal with the defensive side of the game in-particular. They'll head here with the aim to keep Cardiff out and they're proving to be dangerous on the counter as well. All in all I think it could be a close, cagey affair and a draw looks very likely.

    Newcastle United v Manchester United > Saturday April 5th

    Re: Newcastle United v Manchester United > Saturday April 5th Newcastle v Manchester United - Man Utd win - Evens, William Hill Newcastle have not been in the best of form lately. They were rather fortunate against Crystal Palace at home before being smashed by Everton and Southampton. They head into this clash without the services of Debuchy, Sissoko, Krul and Taylor. Obertan and Remy may return while Santon almost certainly will. The Toon have only won two of their last eight home games [1-0 wins against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace] and this is another strong test. Man Utd have displayed some particularly shocking performances over the past month or so though the win over Villa then the draw against Bayern Munich should go a way to restoring some faith. Van Persie is still out, Smalling and Evans may return. They're still not entirely convincing but here they find a team in bad form and it's another chance for Moyes to prove his ability in the hot-seat. Admittedly they have little to play for now, CL is out of their grasps and the Europa League probably isn't a hugely attractive pull. It's still a club that must commit to every game and after the way the season has unfolded a strong finish could set them on the way for next season.

    Re: La Liga > April 4th - 7th

    Almeria v Osasuna - Almeria win 13/10 William Hill Made Almeria almost 5/4 here, I fancy their chances. This match may boil down to home and away form, and the home side boast the stronger. Almeria have beat Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad at home lately also drawing with Valencia and Malaga. They lost away to Valladolid last time though it may not bare any importance on the home form as they've lost away before playing impressively there before. Dubarbier and Torsiglieri miss out and that's the only absentees. Osasuna are on form which could see them relegated, even though they drew with Sociedad [average away form] last time. The men from Pamplona travel without important attacker Armenteros and Sisi. Lolo may miss out as well. They have only scored nine away from home [worst in the league] and although Almeria are unlikely to rack up a high score, it's a worry in this big match. Almeria should make home advantage count.
    Osasuna killed it early on. 2-1 FT.

    Re: La Liga > April 4th - 7th Real Betis are 50/1 on Winner.com at the moment. I created an account just to make advantage of this. Best elsewhere is 33/1 Coral, not sure about the exchanges. I'd give them a far better chance than that. They do have some injury concerns but Barcelona miss Pique and Valdes. Puyol may be back starting.

    Re: Scottish Football > April 4th - 7th Ross County v Inverness Caledonian Thistle - County win 13/8 William Hill Personally priced Ross County shorter here and happy to take these odds on offer. The Staggies are on a fairly strong run of results as of late, despite not winning as much as they'd like. They earned a very good point at Celtic Park last weekend which meant they'd taken points off both the 1st and 2nd placed teams in the league. Derek Adams side and generally tough at home and will give their highland enemies a tough fight. The away side have struggled since their loss in the League Cup final and head to Dingwall with captain Richie Foran suspended. They did manage to get the better of today's opponents here earlier in the year though the home side may have felt aggrieved at that result as they had not played badly. It's usually a fierce match and the home side may hold the edge.

    Re: Premier League > Thursday April 3rd Lewis v Van Barneveld - Lewis win 6/5 Bet365 Lewis has recently been performing better over the longer formats though is still a good price to beat the Dutchman, Van Barneveld here. He drew with a man fighting for survival last time and the draw was much needed by Chisnall. He's on equal ground to Barney here as both players are assured of playing on. Both players have relatively strong form lines in the past few weeks of Premier League action though I feel Lewis is more dependable and he's a better price here than I made him myself. Newton v Chisnall - Chisnall win 6/5 William Hill It's a big game here as the loser faces exit from the competition. A draw would see Chisnall though and I'd give him the edge here based on his performances over the league. He may feel a tad unlucky to be on just six points as he's drew with Lewis, Whitlock, Barneveld and Wright, having chances to win most of them. He is a high scorer and always dangerous. Newton scraped an important draw with Whitlock last time though has struggled at times this season and may not be able to keep up with Chisnall if the the latter get's going. I made Chisnall slight odds on so I'm happy to take this price.

    Paris Saint-Germain v Chelsea > Wednesday April 2nd

    in Champions League Predictions

    Re: Paris Saint-Germain v Chelsea > Wednesday April 2nd PSG v Chelsea - PSG to win to nil 23/10 Ladbrokes I think Mourinho's main priority will be to try and keep PSG's potent attack at bay tomorrow, and it won't be easy. Ibrahimovic will thrive on the challenge of Terry and Cahill, while Lavezzi and Cavani can create their fair share of problems for Chelsea. PSG have a fantastic base in midfield and one which can deal with the defensive side of the team effectively. Chelsea will go with Torres up front most likely and he is devoid of confidence, I'm not sure how much he'll enjoy Thiago Silva and Alex's company. Blanc would be silly not to take the game to Chelsea here and set up a good edge for the 2nd leg. I think they should win and the odds of 23/10 for a win and clean sheet are higher than I'd have initially wanted.

    Re: BBOTD > Tuesday April 1st 2.40 Newton Abbot - Kaki Island - 1pt win 3/1 Bet365 Chris Gordon's runner Kaki Island has showed some steady improvement over hurdles and could have found an opportunity to get off the mark here. His performance at Chepstow last time,and particularly the way he finished, was pretty notable and a 3lb rise is fair. If he comes on at all from the run he should win, even without improvement the gelding has a good chance.

    Re: Scottish Football > April 1st & 2nd Inverness v Motherwell - Draw 23/10 William Hill I think the draw looks most likely here and it's a fair price for me. Motherwell are the side in better form but it's typically a tough stadium to travel to and they aren't always as convincing away. Inverness have triumphed in the last two head-to-heads here, in better form though, and played fairly well against Motherwell a few games ago despite a 2-0 loss. If there's a winner I'd expect it to be the away side but I'd want slightly better odds than best 2/1.
