[Capital One Cup > September 23rd & 24th]

Re: Capital One Cup > September 23rd & 24th CRYSTAL PALACE – NEWCASTLE Draw at 4.70 @ Marathonbet I am curious to watch tonight’s match between Crystal Palace and Newcastle for the Capital One Cup. Taking into account the form of the two opponents, Crystal Palace has the advantage for the qualification. Nevertheless, it is true that coaches usually rotate their starting eleven at competitions like the Capital One Cup, a fact that many times leads to surprises. Newcastle needs a good result, in order to gain confidence for the difficult continuing of Premier League. On the other hand, Crystal Palace are looking for an “extension” of away win against Everton. As a result, I think that the final winner of this fixture is going to be decided either at extra time or at penalties.

[Sky Bet Championhip > September 20th & 22nd]

Re: Sky Bet Championhip > September 20th & 22nd WIGAN – IPSWICH Correct Score 1-0 (Wigan) at 7.30 @ Marathonbet I am curious to watch tonight’s game at “DW Stadium”. Wigan has made a worse start than Ipswich at this year’s Championship, but I think that the tradition will have the last word at this game. The “latics” have combined with victories their last three home games against Ipswich, thus having not conceded a single goal at these three matches. Moreover, Ipswich has not taken a single victory at its five last away games for Championship. As a result, I am seeing a closed game between the two opponents, with Wigan being able of reaching a difficult win with a low score like 1-0.

[Manchester City v Chelsea > Sunday September 21st]

Re: Manchester City v Chelsea > Sunday September 21st MANCHESTER CITY – CHELSEA Any Time Scorer – Aguero at 2.70 @ Marathonbet The most important game of day 5 at Premier League is, without doubt, the derby of “Etihad” between Manchester City and Chelsea. The champions host the team that lies in the 1^st place of the table and will sure look for a revenge for last year’s loss at the same fixture. The Citizens are coming from an unsuccessful series of games and in terms of Premier League they have experienced the home loss from Stoke (0-1) and the away draw against Arsenal (2-2). As a result, they have an extra motive for returning to the victories at today’s derby. As in derbies is always dangerous to predict the final winner, my choice will have to do with a player. Sergio Aguero will start from Pellegrini today, with the Argentinian striker having been proved very effective at home matches. Aguero has scored 10 goals and has given 4 assists at his 12 last home games of Premier League with the shirt of City. I think that he will score today and the 2.70 seems to me as a clever choice.

[Aston Villa v Arsenal > Saturday September 20th]

Re: Aston Villa v Arsenal > Saturday September 20th ASTON VILLA – ARSENAL Draw at 5.10 @ Marathonbet I am curious to watch the game between Aston Villa and Arsenal, since the host team has made a better start at this year’s Premier League. Arsenal has built a great tradition at “Villa Park”, but its current image does not make us believe in a sure win. The team of Birmingham is based at its very solid defence, having not conceded a goal at its 3/4 games at Premier League. It is sure that Aston Villa will firstly look at its defensive duties, since Arsenal is dangerous in attack, although Olivier Giroud is injured. I think that we will see a tight game with a few goals and that the draw will leave both opponents satisfied.

[Argentina > Primera Division > 2014-2015]

Re: Argentina > Primera Division > 2014-2015 QUILMES – LANUS To Win by 1 Goal – Lanus at 3.85 @ Marathonbet Lanus comes at this match with a high morale, after collecting six points against Racing Club (1-3) and Banfield (1-0). In addition, they have the tradition with them, since they are unbeaten at their last 13 games against Quilmes. Moreover, the fact that Quilmes is in bad form, makes them the favorites for the win. As a result, I am seeing as very probable the scenario of Lanus winning the game. Last but not least: a glance at the current games between these two teams with Quilmes being the host side, makes me nearly sure that Lanus’s win will be difficult, with a 1-goal margin.

[FC Barcelona v APOEL > Wednesday September 17th]

Re: FC Barcelona v APOEL > Wednesday September 17th BARCELONA – APOEL To Win by 2 Goals – Barcelona at 5.10 @ Marathonbet It is without doubt that Barcelona are the favorites for the win against APOEL, since its strength and its squad is much better than those of the Cypriots. In addition, the Spaniards want to start this year’s Champions League adventure with a good performance in front on their fans and they are in a good psychological situation, in order to score many goals. On the other hand, APOEL is a concrete team, with good function to the three lines and will not surprise if they will score a goal into “Camp Nou”. Moreover, it is sure that they will try to be very efficient at their defensive duties. In conclusion, I think that Luis Enrique’s side is going to reach a win with a 2-goal margin.

[Juventus v Malmö FF > Tuesday September 16th]

Re: Juventus v Malmö FF > Tuesday September 16th JUVENTUS – MALMO Malmo To Win Or Draw + Total Over 2.5 at 14.00 @ Marathonbet Juventus are starting today their European “adventure” and they are considered as favorites for the win, because of their bigger history. Moreover, Massimo Alegri is going to make his European debut as new Juventus coach. In my opinion, Malmo shouldn’t be underestimated and thus is capable of taking a positive result. The Swedish champions have much more formal games this season, as they have started from the 2^nd qualifying round of Champions League. This fact is an undoubted advantage for Malmo and we must also take into consideration the absences of Chiellini, Vidal and Pirlo, which are very important for the defensive and creative function of Juventus. In conclusion, I am choosing a win or draw result for Malmo in combination with Over 2.5, since I think that Juventus will for sure score.

[Liga de Fútbol Profesional > September 12th - 15th]

Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > September 12th - 15th GRANADA – VILLAREAL Draw at 4.85 @ Marathonbet Two teams with good moral are going to beat each other tonight at “Carmenes”. The host side comes into the game with a big… historical advantage, as it has combined with wins its three previews meetings with Villareal at home. Moreover, Granada has made a good start at the Primera Division, being unbeaten at the first two games. In the same time, Villareal is a strong rival, that must not be underestimated. They have a concrete team and the bad history is an extra motive for the victory at today’s much. As a result, I think that the two opponents are –more or less- of equal power. I am seeing both to score, but nobody to reach a win. The time has come for a draw at this fixture.

[Liga de Fútbol Profesional > September 12th - 15th]

Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > September 12th - 15th CELTA – SOCIEDAD To Win By 1 Goal - Celta de Vigo at 3.95 @ Marathonbet I am curious to watch tonight’s match between Celta and Real Sociedad. Both teams are in a good mood, and the Basque side comes from a series of eight games without loss from Celta. This clue enhances the host side’s desire for the win. The new Celta coach, Manuel Berrizzo, has adopted the format 4-3-3 of his predecessor, Luis Enrique, and the presence of Nolito and Larrivey at the attack makes very dangerous the team. In my opinion, Celta is capable of reaching the win, but it will be a difficult one, as Sociedad has a concrete team, with right function to all the lines.

[Euro 2016 Qualifying > Tuesday September 9th]

Re: Euro 2016 Qualifying > Tuesday September 9th ICELAND – TURKEY Both Teams To Score at 1.952 @ Marathonbet I am curious to watch this match between these teams, with both Iceland and Turkey looking for a win. The hosts are a team with many experienced players, who play in improved championships, like Gylfi Sigurdsson of Swansea. On the other hand, Turkey needs a success after the absence at EURO 2012 and the last three World Cups. As a result, both opponents will look for a quick goal, at a match that seems that will be balanced. I think that it is very possible for both teams to score.

[Ligue 2 > August 29th - September 1st]

Re: Ligue 2 > August 29th - September 1st Brest-Nancy Brest lost 1-0 away from home from Orleans last week. They are in bad form and they have failed to score in their last three matches for the Ligue 2. Left back Wilfried Moimbe is doubtful, having missed their last two games. Nancy, on the other hand, lost 3-0 away from home from Auxerre for the League Cup last Tuesday. In their last three matches in all competitions they have one defeat and two draws, having scored only one goal. Moreover, Karim Coulibaly and Fabrice Ehret are doubts for the trip to Brest, while Florent Zitte is injured. I expect a tight match, between two teams that face big troube in their attacking lines. Prediction: Both Teams To Score - NO @ 1.80 Marathonbet (Stake 5/10).

[Leicester City v Arsenal > Sunday August 31st]

Re: Leicester City v Arsenal > Sunday August 31st Leicester welcome Arsenal at King Power Stadium after Tuesday night's shock Capital One Cup defeat against Shrewsbury Town. Moreover, The Foxes have one draw and one defeat after two matches in Premier League and have scored at least once in each of their last 16 league games at home.. Esteban Cambiasso may make his debut against Arsenal this weekend, while all Matthew James, Jamie Vardy and Danny Drinkwater remain doubtful. Arsenal on the other hand did not impress against Besiktas in the midweek, but won 1-0 and were qualified to the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Arsene Wenger’s men after two matches in the championship have four points (2-1 against Crystal Palace at home kai 2-2 vs Everton at Goodison Park). Olivier Giroud, Mikel Arteta, Kieran Gibbs and Theo Walcott all remain sidelined, but Aaron Ramsey returns from suspension and is available. I think that Leicester is quite strong at home and I expect that both teams can find the net. Prediction: Both teams to score @ 1.72 Marathonbet (Stake 6/10).

[Liga de Fútbol Profesional > August 29th - 31st]

Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > August 29th - 31st Athletic Bilbao-Levante Athletic Bilbao is going to this match in high spirits. On Wednesday the Basques won 3-1 Napoli at home and were qualified to the group stage of the Champions League. Last week Athletic Bilbao lost 1-0 from Malaga away from home. Today’s match is the first one at «San Mames» for Ernesto Valverde’s team in this year’s La Liga. Levante on the other hand, lost 0-2 at home from Villarreal last week. Jose Mendillibar’s players haven’t found the net in their previous four matches (three of them were warm-up matches) and have big trouble in their attacking line. New signing Tono could play some part against Athletic Bilbao, while Victor Camarasa (midfielder) and Juanfran (defender) are major doubts. Prediction: To Win Match With Handicap, Athletic Bilbao (-1.5) @ 2.00 Marathonbet (4/10 stake)
