  1. Portland Timbers DNB @ 2.07 Philadelphia Union injury crisis is finally ending. Key players like Sebastien Le Toux and Fernando Aristeguieta are back. Both could be named in the matchday squad. Even though Philly is not the strongest team but their recent home record is pretty good, with 3 wins and a draw out of their last 5 games. Portland Timbers is flying at the moment. They are 2nd in the form table, winning 5 out of their last 6 games. Valeri is looking sharper as each week passes. 1st choice Jamaican fullback Alvas Powell will not be available because of the Gold Cup. Diego Chara, Darlington Nagbe and Paparatto are all injuries doubt but they have good replacements like Gaston Fernandez. Even though Philly is better at home defensively, I'm not sure if they can stop Timbers from creating chances. If Timbers can actually put away the chances they create, I think they will win this game.

  2. FC Dallas DNB @ 2.19 Orlando will be missing Kaka, Brek Shea, Aurelien Collin, Darwin Ceren and Cyle Larin. These 5 scored 17 of their team goals. Yes, they still have Pedro Riberio and Rivas but I’m not too sure the duo alone can make up the loss of so many attacking players. As for FC Dallas, they won’t have the service of about 5 players, Kyle Bekker, Tesho Akindele, Blas Perez, Moises Hernandez and Je-Vaughn Watson. Perez is probably the biggest miss since he is part of Dallas attacking trio. The good thing is the pair of Castillo and Diaz is available. They have scored 10 goals and provided 9 assists. Both teams have similar defence and offence. Even though FC Dallas is a pretty poor away side, it’s hard not to back them. Orlando offence is just too weak this week.

  3. Why are you taking the last Gold Cup results? In last year Copa Centroamericana, they nearly beat the 3rd best team in the region Costa Rica. They lead 2-0 before 2 late goals pegged them back. They went on to finished the same points in the group with Costa Rica. They were unlucky not to qualify for the finals with -1 goal difference poorer than Costa Rica. If you want to look at friendly results, they even beat Costa Rica in March. That team include star players like Bryan Ruiz and Joel Campbell. As a Haiti, their most recent win was a 2-1 against Cuba, a team which was thrashed 6-1 by Panama in the last Gold Cup.

  4. Re: MLS 2015 (USA/CANADA) Colorado Rapids -0.5 @ 2.05. This is the 3rd away game in 8 days for Earthquakes, visiting high altitude place like Colorado is probably the last thing the team wants. While Rapids has not won at home this season, I certainly fancy their chance at breaking the duck.

  5. Re: AFC Champions League Tues 5th - Weds 6th May 2015 With the exception of Guangzhou Evergrade and maybe Beijing Guoan, the other chinese clubs are pretty rubbish. Even Guangzhou Evergrade has kinda of regress since they sold Conca a couple of seasons ago. Elkeson is good but not at the level of Conca. Jeonbuk is the strongest team in Korea as they have alot of depth. Even though their stars(Eninho and Lee Dong Gook) are aging, alot of them take good care of themselves to prolong their career. Their coach will also know when to rotate them. For eg, for today game, the likes of Leonardo and Edu started on the bench.

  6. Re: Queens Park Rangers v West Ham > Saturday April 25th QPR -0.5 @ 2.38 With 5 games remaining, relegation threatened teams should all be in real must-win situation. This is especially the case for QPR. This Sat present them with their best chance of getting a win for the next 3 games. After tomorrow, they will play Liverpool and Man City in the next 2 weekends. They haven't been too bad lately. They beat WBA, drew against Villa and was extremely unlucky not to get a point against Chelsea. West Ham has been pretty out of sorts. Could be because of the uncertainty of the future of Sam Allardyce or the players have already started their holiday mentally. This London derby definitely won't be easy for QPR but they have 2 weeks to prepare for this 'finals' and should leave nothing behind here.

  7. Re: Real Madrid v Atlético de Madrid > Wednesday April 22nd His subs were poor as well. Not sure why Gabi didn't play from the start, wasted 1 sub to bring him on at half time. Then Raul Garcia was ineffective. The last sub was rubbish especially when the tie was still 0-0. Won't be surprised to see him leave. His style of football is not really that attractive but effective, will Man City or PSG want him? I believe Klopp interest them more.

  8. Tampines -0.5 @ 2.05 Despite only being 6-7 games into the season, title contenders Tampines Rovers coach V. Sundramoorthy could be the 1st coach to be fired. 2 defeats(3 defeats in 6 games played) in a row has left Tampines 9 points behind leaders Warriors FC. Tampines chairman Teo Hock Seng has never known to be too patient with coach with poor results. He has sacked 2 coaches in the last 2 seasons when results were not up to standard at midseason. They will play Balestier Khalsa today, a team they have a pretty good record in recent times. Balestier 3 defeats so far were against title contenders like Warriors, Albirex Niigata S and Home United. I believe Tampines do have that bit more quality and will pick themselves up to clinch a win here.

  9. Re: FC Bayern München v FC Porto > Tuesday April 21st Bayern Munich to qualify @ 2 Bayern Munich worst defending performance of the season let them down last week. But then how often do we see 3 school boy errors from a team like Bayern in 1 game? If there is a team who can do the great escape, I believe it's going to be Bayern. They have Guardiola and a pair of strikers(Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller) who is still functioning pretty well. They've been involved in 11 of Bayern's last 12 Bundesliga goals. Porto were excellent last week. Both fullbacks Danilo and Alex Sandro will be suspended. They have alot of depth in midfield but I can't say the same for the defence, especially the fullbacks. Bayern are a huge threat in wide areas, where Guardiola loves to create overloads. This could be problematic for Porto playing with makeshift fullbacks. This should be a tighter game than last week but Bayern should just edge it and qualify.

  10. Re: Bundesliga > April 17th - 19th Werder Bremen -0.5 @ 1.98 Werder Bremen has been in a small slump since that home defeat to Bayern a few weeks ago. On the other side, Hamburg has been in a slump since last season. They have brought back Bruno Labbadia about 3 days ago hoping he can turn the club fortunes around. How many of these managerial comebacks have ended well in recent times? Hamburg probably need a total reboot in div 2. Although form doesn't really matter in a derby, I just feel Werder Bremen has more desire to win.

  11. Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > April 17th - 20th Sevilla -0.5 @ 1.89 With Valencia playing away at Barca, this is a good chance for Sevilla to win and be at least on level points with Valencia. Sevilla away record is pretty good when you consider their 7 losses were against top quality teams like A.Madrid, Bilbao, Barca and R.Madrid. The only 2 exception were midtable teams Getafe and Real Sociedad. They have won this fixture for the last 6 times.
