  1. Re: Libertadores Cup 17th May and others Copa Libertadores: Santos v America Mexico 2 @ 8.75 @ Expekt 5 points.

    Santos Sao Paulo could only draw in Mexico in the first leg of this Copa Libertadores quarter finals against America Mexico. They finished goalless despite their record performance in the group stage with six wins in six games and a goal tally of 12-1. Santos got their qualifications from the eighth final but had to battle hard as they finished 2-2 against Caracas in the first leg while playing away and won 3-2 in the second leg at home. They have thus conceded 4 goals in that eighth final and have shown a leaky defense. They should be wary of America who usually play it tight and if the latter scores one goal it will be hard for Santos to kick back two more. Santos seem to have suffered in their last three games and are winless in them. Apart from the draw at America they lost twice in the Seria A to Sport Recife (4-1) and America Natal on Saturday by 3-2. They’ve conceded a total of seven goals in these two games. America have played in progress since the 2-1 defeat away at ColoColo. Besides winning 4-1 on Atlas they drew with Santos and they won twice by 1-0 ( home and away) on very good Guadalajara in their last two games. On Sunday they were the underdogs but won by 1-0.

    With the poor defense shown by Santos, I believe America can cause a surprise here and the bet is worthy to take at the 8.75 odds. I choose the away win at 8.75 @ Expekt 5 points,

  2. Re: Libertadores Cup 17th May and others Copa Libertadores: Gremio v Defensor Sporting 2 @ 9.0 @ Stan James 5 points One of the revelations of this season Copa Libertadores is undoubtedly Uruguayan team Defensor Sporting. They are coming to this second leg of the quarter-finals on the back of the 2-0 win at home and will go all out to defend that advantage at Brazilian team Gremio. The latter have been on ups and downs but won their last five home games and the five wins they registered were all by quite high scores 4-0 on Caxias after being beaten by 3-0 away at that team. They won by 1-0 on Cerro Porteno in Copa Libertadores, 4-1 on Juventude, 2-0 on Sao Paulo in CL and lastly 2-0 on Fluminense in the Serie A on Sunday. They are showing a great home form while Defensor have been rather limited in their away games losing three of their last five away to draw one and win one in their local Primera. Gremio will look forward to score three to get their qualification but I believe Defensor will offer their highest resistance here in the defense of their two goals advantage and they are able to hold Gremio to a draw. This is a big big game for Defensor and I believe they will attempt to score early here and possibly get the win. For the good odds I would venture a choice of the away win @ 9.0 @ Stan James – 5 points.

  3. Argentinian Clausura: Lanus (-0.75 :0) Quilmes 1 @ 1.80 @ Pinnacles 10 points.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

    <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Lanus have made a fantastic jump over the past weeks and from down below have moved up to seventh place. This progress results from their six unbeaten games streak in which they drew four and won two while meeting moderate and high opposition . The win tonight will bring them one more seat higher and at only one point from high-flying River Plate.

    This is great motivation for them to look forward for another win when hosting poor rock-bottom team Quilmes who are coming to the game on the back of three successive defeats of which two at home and one away at rather poor Belgrano 12 days ago. On that day Belgrano stood second-bottom place and Quilmes suffered from them a heavy 3-0 defeat. showing their poor away form. From last ten Quilmes were defeated seven times although they managed one win at home on Colon and two draws at Newells and Argentinos.

    Lanus won last their game by 3-0 on improving Colon while Quilmes lost by 2-1 at home to Boca Juniors who were more concerned with their coming Copa Libertadores game at Libertad this week.

    I would see a home win here and Lanus can beat the -3/4 ball handicap. I choose the home win with the -3/4 ball handicap @ 1.80 @ Pinnacles. 10 points
  4. Re: Poland Ekstraklasa (May 22) Gornik Zabre v Wisla Plock 2 @ 3,25 @ bet365 10points Gornik Zabre stand at 2 places from bottom with one point more than Wisla Plock. Zabre are winless in last eitht games and lost last games by 3-0 and continue with their weakness. Wisla Plock are playinh in progress and in last five have two draws and one win. They lost to Gornik L away and by 2-1 to belchatow in the cup after having resisted a long tiome. They've moved out of last place. They won last game on Lodz and can win tonight. 10 points on the Away at 3.25 @ bet365

  5. Sweden Allsvenskhan Week 22 May to 27 Sweden Allsvenskhan: Bromma v Helsingborg 1 @ 4.90@ betsafe 10 points.

    Bromma have done well when in last game they managed an away 3-1 victory ar Halmstad and tonight they are hosting Helsingborg with higher confidence. Despite their second-bottom position they lost only three games in last ten and these losses were to good teams: 3rd placed Goteborg, 4th placed Hammarby and AIK. They drew 3-3 with Trelleborgs. Otherwise this season they managed an initial win on Djurgarden. At home they do well and can look with confidence the visit of Helsinborg who are at only one place above. In the league Helsingborg count only two wins in six games and are not that much better than Bromma. They are playing in progress for sure but two of their last three away wins were on low division teams and they won the tird on AIK by only 1-0. This season Helsingborg lost awy to Halmstad and Djurgarden and at home to Elfsborg and malmo.

    They could be vulneracble @ Bromma tonight and I choose the home win here @ the good odds of 4.9 @ betsafe 10 points.

  6. Hungary Borsodi Liga: Ujpest (-1:0) Fehervar 1 @ 2.09 @ Pinnacle 10 points In Hungary away wins are quite rare. Most teams do by far much better at home than away. It is not different for both Ujpest and Fehervar who meet each other today. 4th placed Ujpest who host the game are unbeaten in their last five home games with three wins and two draws while the visitors Fehervar (7th) won only one away game in last five. They drew two and lost two. The win was on very poor rock-bottom club Vac. The home win can be expected here again more so Ujpest are in good shape and won last home game on no less than leaders Debrecen by 2-0. They lost last game away but managed to score two in the 3-2 defeat at Tatabanya. Fehervar won two of last three games at home but away they lost the other one at Diosgyor. I would choose the home win here with the -1 ball handicap @ 2.09 @ Pinnacles 10 points

  7. Mexican Primera Play-offs : Guadalajara (-0.5:0) v CF America 2 @ 2.03 @ VC Bet 10 points In this 2nd leg Mexican Play-off tonight Guadaljara Chivas are playing at home and have to catch up the one goal disadvantage suffered in the 1-0 defeat at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />America in the first leg. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

    Both these teams are very good and have done well up to now. They usually play better at home than away but they are always able to win on their travels time and again.

    CF America can be often on ups and downs and they will come to defend their one goal.

    I believe they can bank on their good form to seize an opportunity here to inscribe a precious away win or at least get a draw.

    Away win on the Asians with the + 0.5 ball @ 2.03 @ VC Bet
  8. Re: Brazil > Campeonato Brasileiro > May 19/20 Brazil Serie A: Nautico (+1 EH) v Sao Paulo 2 @ 4.0 @ Stan James 10 points Sao Paulo usual high-flying team of the brazilian Serie A have already won their first game and that was by 2-0 at home on Goias. They are visiting Nautico who lost their first game by 2-1 at Athletico Mineiro. Sao Paulo are very good and have done well both on the local front and in the Copa Libertadores, while Nautico are currently on two defeats as they were defeated also in the preceding Cup game by 1-0 at Figuerense after having drawn in the first leg 2-2 at home. Sao Paulo are high scorers when they want. They should be better here and I expect them to win by a more than one goal margin. I choose the away win with the (-1 EH) at 4.0 @ Stan James – 10 points

  9. Re: Brazil > Campeonato Brasileiro > May 19/20 Brazil Serie A: Vasco da gama (-1 EH) v Sport Recife 1 @ 3.0 @ bet365 10 points Both Vasco da Gama and Sport Recife won their first game of this season Serie A. Vasco won away at America by 1-0 while Sport Recife at home won by 4-1 on Santos Sao Paulo. Santos have been poor in the Serie A and have lost the two games they played while possibly resting players in view of their Copa Libertadores games. Vasco have been o n ups and downs recently and were winless in five games before the serie A one. They were defeated thrice and drew twice. They finished 4-4 their last Carioca game. They sgould be able to bank on the renewed for to look for the win here. They are good and high scorers time quite often and in their last three wins in the Carioco they won by 4-1, 6-2 and 3-0. I believe they can win on Sports Recife who have met rather limited teams up to now. I choose the home win with the -1 EH at 3.0 @ bet365 10 points.

  10. Re: Argentina > Clausura > May 19/20 Argentina Clausura: Quilmes (+1.25: 0)Boca Juniors 2 @ 2.11 @ Pinnacles 10 points.

    Boca Juniors are running the battle on two fronts, the Clausura and the Copa Libertadores and matters are hard for them although it is difficult for any opponent to play them. They are satisfied to be alive in both tournaments and will want to do well in both. They drew at home against Libertad on Thursday in the Copa and tonight visit rock-bottom Quilmes in the league. Boca can be expected to win here although Quilmes is considered difficult by Russo the manager. His attaention is drawn more to the Copa Libertadores as he puts it saying there is a long way to go in the Clausura and 90 most important minutes in the awaiting match at Libertad. So we can expect Boca to reserve their energy, but as they need the points to keep their chances of winning the Clausura they will bring in sufficient motivation and strength to win that game. I would choose the away win with the -1.25 ball handicap @ 2.11 @ Pinnacle 10 points

  11. Re: Argentina > Clausura > May 19/20 Argentina Clausura: River Plate v Estudiantes 2 @ 3.40 @ bet365 10 points. Estudiantes are in third position and have lost only one game.They are serious contenders for the title with 29 points currently same as Boca Juniors and at six points from San Lorenzo. They have that game in hand and will look forward to win it. They won three away games and drew one from their last four and have the means to get a win at River Plate also despite the latters strength at home. River Plate drew their last three games in a row and I do not eexpect them to do better against such high opposition as Estudiantes. They met poorer opposition than Estudiantes. I believe Estudiantes can snatch the short win here. Away at 3.40 @ bet365 10 points

  12. Re: Argentina > Clausura > May 19/20 Argentinian Clausura: Velez (-1 EH) v Gimnasia La Plata 1 @ 3.0 @ bet365 10 points

    Velez are on three winless games with two wins and one draw and seem to have picked up a better form recently and have behind them the series of three successive defeats at the end of April and beginning of May. They were defeated by low placed teams Independiente and Rosario and Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores by 3-0.

    But they picked up and in last three games they have three difficult encounters and was excellent in them. They won on leaders San Lorenzo and in the reverse game of the Copa Libertadores they won on Boca Juniors by 3-1. Finally last Saturday they drew away at third placed Estudiantes by 1-1.

    Their excellent form cannot be denied and they should be able to win tonight on poor and declining Gimnasia La Plata who have fallen to second bottom seat of the Clausura. Gimnasia are winless in five last games losing four in succession and drawing the last at home with third-bottom Nueva.

    At 10th place and with 18 points Velez undoubtedly and will look to move up the tables and they will have known the result of Newells ( 8th and 20 points) who play some hours before them,

    I choose the home win with the -1 EH @ 3.0 @ bet365 10 points

  13. Poland PUCHAR LIGI CUP: Zaglebie (-0.5:0) 1 @ 2.13 bet365 10 points Zaglebie Lublin are in second place of the Polish Liga1 at two points from the leaders Belchatow and as the latter, are aiming a double league/cup at the end of the season. The task seems quite hard but possible if they maintain their good performances and stay ready to take benefit of a slip of Belchatow if any. Tonight Zaglebie are hosting 8th placed Croclin in the Cup match. As they play two and a half hours later, they will already know the result of Belchatow in the latter’s game against Korona. Zaglebie inspire confidence after their 6-2 win of last Saturday on last placed Pogon. Although Pogon were out-of form and weak, the merits of Zaglebie cannot be denied as it is not given to many teams to score six in a game and Zaglebie did it twice in three weeks. On 21 April also they won by 6-0 on 11th placed Arka. Zaglebie are unbeaten in nine of their last ten games and their only defeat was to Belchatow eight games ago. Since then they went seven games: they drew 1-1 against Lodz, then they won four games in a row scoring in them 13 goals without conceding any, finished goalless at W. Krakow and won last game 6-2. With such a record they seem well armed to get the better of Groclin tonight although Groclin who do not lose easily are expected to offer good resistance. Groclin drew 15 of their 27 league games, won 8 and lost only 4. They are in rather good shape and are unbeaten in last seven, after a defeat to Belchatow in early April. Their scoring has been low and even on poor Korona they won by only 1-0 last Saturday. I believe Zaglebie will have some hard times against Groclin tonight but can in the end snatch the desired win. I choose the home win with the -0.5 ball @ 2.13 @ bet365 10 points

  14. Re: Argentinian Clausura May 2007 Argentina Clausura: Boca Juniors(-1:0) Arsenal 1 @ 2.0 @ Bet365 10 points. For Boca Juniors it is always difficult to play in the local tournament and in the Cup in the same semester. But Boca is facing this two-fold commitment with a lot of courage and good soccer and succcess. And the results have been favorable to them. With the game against Arsenal Boca will have played eight games during the month. But there is no respite. In the next two weeks it will face another four commitments (Libertad within the Libertadores Cup (first and second leg) and Quilmes plus Gimnasia within the Clausura tournament). But Boca managed to get to third spot in The Clausura while still keeping their seat in the Copa. Thei are aiming today to reduce the 3 points gap fro San Lorenzo if not take the lead of the Clausura. Boca scored 16 goals in last five games and fifteen in 4 before the last 1-3 defeat to Vele. They should be winners over Arsenal who have won on poor teams but will have difficulties against such a good team as Boca Juniors. I would choose the home win with the -1 ball handicap @ 2.10 @ bet365.10 Points

  15. Re: Argentinian Clausura May 2007 Argentinian Clausura: Belgrano (-0.5:0) Quilmes 1 @ 1.86 @ Pinnacle 10 points

    The game between Belgrano and Quilmes is one between the last two teams of the table of the Argentinian Clausura. Quilmes have one point less but have played one game less. This will be a hard fought game between these teams who will look forward to avoid the last spot.

    Belgrano are the bookies favorites as they play at home and also I believe thanks to their slightly better recent performances.

    In fact they lost three of their last six games to some of the better and in-form teams of the Clausura in Newells’ 0-2, Argentinos Juniors 0-2 and away at Arsenal Sarandi by 4-3. They managed in the other three games a 3-0 win on Copa Libertadores participant Velez and drew against high-flying River Plate and good Racing Club.

    These performances are decent for a team standing at second-bottom place and show that they have not been outclassed in this Clausura. They can be expected to deliver again a decent performance.

    For their part Quilmes lost their last three of their last four games winning one by 2-1, two games ago on out-of form Colon. This was their only win form last eight games in which Quilmes lost five and drew two.

    Quilmes seem very limited against stronger teams and Belgrano tonight can be high opposition to them as Belgrano have done well against the good teams of the league. Belgrano play at home and will attempt to seize the opportunity to pick another three points.

    I would choose the home win with the -1/2 ball handicap @ 1.86 @ Pinnacles 10 points

  16. Re: Finland - Veikkausliga (9 - 14/5) Finland Veikkaausliga: FC Lahti (+1 EH) v HJK Helsinki 2 @ 4.0 @ bet365 10 points

    Lahti are hosting Helsinki for the third time in this season. The two previous games were in the Liiga Cup. In February Helsinki won by 3-1 but in March Helsinki lost by 1-0 and Lahti went on to win the Liiga Cup two weeks later. This time for the league match Helsinki will again look for a win and they will bank on their apparent good form to avenge the last defeat.

    In three games Helsinki won two away games and at home drew one goalless against promoted but good AC Oulu. They have done better on their travels up to now and having that game in hand Helsinki are boosted to get win which will bring them to the top seat thanks to a better goal difference than current leaders Tampere United.

    Lahti have been only average in their three league games with one heavy 4-1 defeat at home by Jaro, a goalless draw at Mariehamn and a 2-1 win on ex-leaders Haka last week. This last away win is commendable as it’s the only one of Haka who won their other three games. But against Helsinki today, matters will be different as Helsinki are rather consistent in their play and will play to win. I believe Helsinki much stronger than Lahti and can repeat the February 3-1 and beat the -1 EH. I would go for the away win here with the -1 EH @ 4.0 @ bet365 10 points.

  17. Re: Copa Libertatores 09/05/07 Copa Libertadores: Flamango v Defensor Sporting 2 @ 7.50 @ Stan James 5 points The heavy 3-0 defeat of Brazilain team Flamengo in the hands of Defensor Sporting in the first leg of the 8th final between these tow teams, is generally taken to have been a big surprise. But it was considered that Flamengo won on rather poor teams at the group stage and finished first of that group with five wins and five draws more because if the other teams weaknesses than Flamengo’s own strength. They finished with the second-best record of all the qualifiers, but they were powerless to prevent the defeat by Defensor Sporting. Defensor Sporting were in a group with high-flying Brazilian team Santos and were beaten twice by that team. Away they lost by only 1-0 and they should do better than that at Flamengo who are not currently to the level of Santos. Their striker Alvaro Navarro scored twice las time and Alvaro Ginzales scored the other goal. These players are in great form and with them in the line up Defensor will not be lenient and boosted by the fact that if they qualify they’ll be the first Uruguayan team to reach the quarter-finals since 2002, they’ll look to confirm the first leg win by another one on Brazilian soil. I would see a win of Defensor Sporting in this second leg. I go for the away win @ 7.50 @ Stan James 5 points

  18. Re: Poland Ekstraklasa (May 8-11) In Poland Super Liga tonight very poor rock-bottom club Wisla Plock are hosting in form Groclin.

    Wisla won only two of their 24 games this season and also won only one in their last ten. That win was on second-bottom Pogo who share the same number of 16 points as Wisla Plock.

    Even playing at home I wonder whether Wisla Plock would be able to hold and resist Groclin who are on an excellent run of five wins in a row in their last five games and From last ten games Groclin managed seven wins, drew two and lost only one to leaders Belchatow .

    Their striking success is also good as they scored at least two goals in four of these five wins winning successively by 2-0 on Lodz, 1-0 at Cracovia , 3-2 at Gornik, 2-0 on Korona and 2-1 on Arka.

    I believe that Wisla Plock will not make the weight tonight against Grolin and would choose the away win on the Asians with the (+0.25:0) handicap @ 2.07 @ 10Bet

  19. Re: Romania Liga I (May 8-10) Romania Premier League: U. Craiova (-1.25:0) Jiul 2 @ 2.0 @ bet365 10 points U. Craiova would be further saved from relegation threat if they win on vistors Jiul today and they can be expected to look forward to extend their good three wins run.They are in fact unbeaten in their last four with one draw followed by three successive wins and are showing much better form at four games for the end of their season as compared to their preceding winless streak. Two of their last wins were on teams already in the drop zone, Nacional (22 points0 and Ceahlaul (29 points) and Jiul who are already doomed are not expected to do better. Jiul lost in all 21 games from their 30 played, drawing five and winning four. From last 10 they won only one game on second-bottom Nacional and are coming to the game today on the back of three successive defeats. U. Craiova won their last game 2-0 away on Pandurii who beat Jiul by 2-0 on 25 April. I believe U Craiova better armed to win here and in so doing they’ll be at 41 points safe from relegation. I choose the home win with the – 1.25 ball handicap @ 2.0 @ bet365. 10 points

  20. Re: Norway - Tippeligaen (5-7 May 07) Norway Eleteserien: Aalesund (+0.5:0) Lillestrom 2 @ 1.88 @ bet365 10 points

    In this season Tippalegaen in Norway, Aalesund are unbeaten in their four games up to now with three defeats and one draw and occupy the last seat of the table while Lillestrom won three and drew one and are topping the table. The gap is huge between these teams and this is more clearly show by the goal tallies of Aalesund 5 scored and 13 conceded (-8) while Lillestrom scored 8 against 2 (+6).

    I believe Lillestrom much too strong currently than Aalesund an unless a surprise they should be the winners here. Away win with the -0.5 handicap @ 1.88 @ bet365

  21. Re: Sweden - Superettan (3-8 May 07) Sweden Superettan: Enkopings (0:0) Sirius 2 @ 2.28 @ Canbet 10 points

    In Sweden Superettan Sirius are on an excellent run with three impressive wins in row and scored 8 goals against 3 in these three wins. Enkopings are moderate with 1W-1D-1L in their three games. They won at home on Sundsvall, drew at Lansdkrona and lost by 3-0 to leaders NorrKoping. I believe they won’t make the weight against in-form and high scoring second placed Sirius tonight and I choose the away win with (0) handicap @ 2.28 at Canbet 10 points I wonder why the bookies are offering such high odds for Sirius though.

  22. Re: Sweden - Allsvenskan (5-8 May 07) In Sweden Allsvenskhan: Gais (0:0)Halmstad 2 @ 2.0 @ bet365 10 points 5th placed Halmstad are visiting rock-bottom Gais. The home side are winless in four games with two draws and two defeats but have not been outclassed. In their five games all includided they lost to AIK by 2-1, Malmo by 1-0, and Skoyde 2-1, and drew with Orebro 1-1 and Hammarby 1-1. Halmstad did very well with 2W-1D-1L in the league. In last five including the Cup game they won three. Halmstad are very good with their young squad and should get a result here. I choose the away win with the (0) handicap @ 2.0 @ bet365 10 points

  23. Re: Argentinian Clausura May 2007 Argentinian Clausura: Velez (+0.25:0) San Lorenzo 2 @ 2.04 @ Pinnacles 10 points

    Velez are now free from the Copa Libertadores and concentrate more on the Clausura. But overall they have not yet been performing to expectations and are in the lower half og the table with only 4W-2D-6L in their twelve matches. They are on three defeats in a row of which one at home to 11th placed Rosario Central. From their last ten games they won only two on poor Emelec in CL and Banfield who are at 3rd bottom seat in the Clausura.

    Velez will have to raise their game if they want to get something tonight when hosting the leaders San Lorenzo who lost only one game and drew only one in the 12 Calusura games they played up to now. San Lorenzo lost only to the second team Estudiantes four games ago and are on a three wins streak.

    I would see San Lorenzo confirming their excellent form tonight and get the win here. I choose the away side with the – ¼ ball @ 2.04 @ Pinnacles:spank

  24. Re: Argentinian Clausura May 2007 Argentinian Clausura: Nueva Chicago (+1 EH) v Estudiantes 2 @ 4.0 @ Stan James 10 points :nana For their twelve games Estudiantes standing at 3rd place in the Clausura show a very good record of 7W-4D-1L and a goal tally of 17-8. They are at only 4 points from leaders San Lorenzo and 2 points from Boca Juniors. The only defeat of Estudiantes was at home to excellent Boca Juniors. They are unbeaten in their last seven games with two draws and five wins and they can be expected to get a win tonight Nueva. Nueva Chicago show a very poor record for their 12 games with 3W-3D-6L and a goal tally of 9-19 and they stand at five places from bottom. Nueva won their three games on the teams in the lowest part of the table away at Colon (13th) and at home on second-bottom Belgrano and third bottom Banfield. At home also, Nueva lost at home to Arsenal by 4-0 and twice drew 0-0. Estudiantes should have a quite easy win here and I would go for the win with the (-1 EH) at 4.0 @ Stan James 10 points:nana

  25. Re: Copa Libertadores 2007 2/3 May Copa Libertadores: Cucuta v Toluca 2 @ 3.70 @ bet365 10 points Cucuta drew their first three group stage matches, lost one and then showed some improvement in their last two which they won 3-1 at home on Gremio and 4-3 on another Columbian team Tolima by 4-3. They seem to have been good on their grounds in Columbia, where tonight they are hosting Toluca who came first of their group with four wins and two losses, Toluca lost at home quite surprisingly to Bolivar and away at Boca Juniors. They are in good shape and won two games away and at home both on Ciencianno and Boca Juniors. I believe them able to win away at Cucuta or at least come back with a draw. I would choose the away win @ 3.70 @ bet365 10 points
