West Brom vs Brentford
Ooh, what a treat this is for all us Championship punters! A game on a Monday! On this rare occasion it's West Brom taking on Brentford at the Hawthorns in an 8pm kick-off. The home team will want to win to keep up their strong promotion fight and the away side desperately need a win to halt a massive dip in form over recent weeks.
West Brom are 4th in the table with a game in hand on the teams around them. 34 points from 19 games is proof that the club made the right decision in sticking with Darren Moore. It was a no brainer at the time and rightly so. The Baggies have won three in a row in the league including a crushing 4-1 victory over promotion rivals Leeds.
Brentford have struggled to adapt to life after Dean Smith. Thomas Frank has been left with the task of moulding a backroom team out of the members that didn't depart with Smith. It's undoubtedly been disruptive because the Bees have lost 6 of their last 7 league matches since Smith's departure.
It's been a while since these two sides last played each other. The last meeting came on 12th August, 2003 when West Brom won an EFL Cup match 4-0. Brentford don't have the best record at the Hawthorns having lost all 9 previous visits to the ground. The last visit came on 1st February, 1992 when they lost 2-0.
You can certainly expect goals tonight. Since the Championship was re-branded into its current guise back in 2004/05, only Wolves and Southampton have scored more than West Brom's 41 goals by this stage of the season. This is a potent Baggies attack.
I'm sorry to say to Brentford fans that the way things are going I think it'll only get worse. If I was a Brentford fan I would probably be calling this a crisis. Admittedly, they've battled well against decent sides. Their recent defeats against Norwich, Middlesbrough, and Sheffield United have probably been anticipated. Still, losing can become a habit and it's one I think will continue tonight.
West Brom to Win @ 2.00 with Betfred
Total Goals Scored Over 2.5 @ 1.65 with Betfair

Alessandria v Piacenza 
Piacenza are 12/12 with Over 1.5 goals this season, 6 of which went Over 2.5.
Alessandria are a better side than the table suggests and sooner or later should start grabbing some wins. Their last 2 home games ended Over 2.5, and 3 of last 4 overall.
Last season's H2H ended 3-2 and 1-1. The asian goal line has great value ihmo, with a refund in case of just 2 goals.
Over 2.0 Goal Line @ 1.90 with Bet365
 

I agree with both picks. Hence I like West Brom to win & Over 2.5 @ 2.50 with Bet365

Jeez no rest for the wicked, I'd like to say, I knew Hughes would get the sack if Southampton didn't beat United and can't see where his managerial career goes from here?? Never been impressed with him as the gaffer.
 
Gotta love midweek fixtures though.
 
Bournemouth V Huddersfield. Bournemouth were unlucky not to get a pen at 2-1 down against City an who knows from there, and Hudersfield may have got something if they kept 11 on the pitch, I expect Bournemouth to get through this game though ot may be tougher than they expect. Bournemouth Half Time/Full Time 9/5 @ BETVICTOR, LADBROKES & CORAL
 
Brighton V Palace. somehow this is classed as a bit of a derby, maybe it's an Eagles v Seagulls thing, Palace will be jubilant after finally scoring from open play and winning at Selhurst and I have a sneaking feeling for an away victory here and I don't know why...................... Palace to win 44/25 @ MARATHONBET 
 
West Ham V Cardiff. West Ham will certainly be expecting to win after their dismantling of Newcastle away, But the Hammers do blow hot and cold and there could be a surprise here at the London Stadium, Both teams to score YES 11/10 @BETVICTOR
 
Watford V City. There is not a single game where I don't expect City to score at least 3, they just have goals everywhere and always conjure something up, Watford can be tricky at home and do tend to give a good account of themselves, however City will have to Much. City Half Time/Full Time 10/11 @ LADBROKES & CORALS
 
Wednesdays Games
 
Burnley V Liverpool. I don't think Liverpool will be reliant on goalkeepers baring gifts this week, They seem to be stuttering a little but still digging out the result they need, however I expect them not to struggle here and although I think Burnley have got to get a run going soon, it won't be in this game. OVER 2.5 GOALS 19/29 @ 188BET
 
Everton V Newcastle. How is Evertons recovery after they conceded that shocking injury time winner in the derby, well I think fortunately for them they meet Newcastle team that are easy pickings in my opinion and I think Everton will grab all 3 points EVERTON TO WIN 8/13 @ MARATHONBET & SPORTINGBET
 
Fulham V Leicester. Ranieri will make Fulham harder to beat and for a side struggling that is well needed, they gave a good account of themselves against Chelsea and I expect more of the same here, Leicester are always prone to nab you on the counter and that is how they will set out, as there ever been a manager that has taken charge of a side and then played two of his former sides in his first two games? DRAW 28/11 @ UNIBET
 
Wolves V Chelsea. I find it intriguing that when Cardiff were off to a terrible start people were calling for Warnocks head, yet Nuno Espirito Santo with his quite big budget and squad is not having a bad word said what do you think @StevieDay1983?, now that is not me saying Wolves should sack him, no way!!!! The visit of Chelsea will get the Wolves right up for it but again I expect the blues to have to much. CHELSEA HALF TIME/FULL TIME 19/10 @ BETVICTOR 
 
United V Arsenal. Wwell well well, could this be Mourinho's last game? There are rumblings at Old Trafford, Players are not happy and haven't been for a while, Jose said United would be top 4 by January, however he did not say which year!!!! His only saving grace is it will cost United around £11m to sack him and his ego will not allow him to walk.  If Arsenal approach this the right way I see nothing but an away win here, United are struggling to make chances especially in the first 45 Minutes at home and that air of inevitable late goal has long since left Old Trafford, United are there for the taking. ARSENAL HALF TIME/FULLTIME A WHOPPING 17/4 @ BETVICTOR
 
Spurs V Southampton. A big loss for Spurs at the weekend in terms of them not seeming to be able to close the gap on the top sides, however what a fixture to bounce back on, I can no longer moan about Mark Hughes on here but Southampton are poor, I bet a certain Mr Redknapp is gutted he's in the Jungle, the Saints job would be right up his street again . I see nothing but a comfortable home win here OVER 3.5 GOALS 7/4 @ UNIBET & BETFAIR 
 
Well that was quite exhausting, no midweek drinks not on a school night  Happy Punting PuntersLounge folk 

I'm a Chelsea fan and I can tell you, there is a reason for that price. We are grinding out points and it's only matter of time when it will stop. Half of that team is not good enough for the title challenge and what can I say, Conte and Sarri are wizards who made / make them look better than they really are. We don't have a striker, we don't have a right winger, Kante is not playing in his natural position and our centre backs are disasters waiting to hapen. Okay, rant over. We might win this game but purely on individual quality. Still favourites I guess but as I said, I understand the price.

West brom v brentford should be an open free flowing game with plenty of goals. I will try a few scores: west brom 3-2, 4-1 and 4-2 all with ladbrokes boosted at 20/1, 33/1 and 45/1. I have also bought harvey barnes goal minutes at 15. 

I watched the Cardiff game, and would agree with your comments, they certainly look to have had the wind knocked out of their sails. I can see Chelsea winning but probably by a very small margin, probably later on in the game as well.
 
*Neves is also suspended

Stockport 4.96, Scnuthorpe 4.29
History of outright wins by underdogs in this round and in this range (up to 4.99 away), and these are the only two to fit the bill this year.

As a Stockport fan even though i predicted Barnet to win in the last round in their replay,i wont be forecasting anything for this one, County have 1500 fans going down for this and with the North London Derby probably putting off a few from going i think we will possibly outnumber the Barnet fans,hoping for a draw to bring them back to Edgeley but not predicting anything here.
My one cup bet of the week is Fleetwood -2 on the Asian handicap away at Guiseley, Fleetwood won at a canter away at Alfreton in the last round and i know Guiseley shocked Cambridge utd and were 4 up at one stage they very nearly through it away and i think Cambridge didnt turn up on the day while i am sure Fleetwood wont be under estimating Guiseley, had a look on Betfair and over 5/2 is available on the exchange.
Going to have 3 points on this

Chelsea look good value away to Wolves at 3/4 feel I'm missing something here? Wolves have had a string of bad results, Chelsea baring the Spurs match have looked solid.

It's a bonus midweek schedule for the Premier League coming up. Manchester United versus Arsenal is the big one here. I'll look to get a preview for the Cardiff game up. Let us know your thoughts on these matches heading our way and any bets you're planning on placing.

Well if you insist, I do have a Colt 45 at the ready for such an occasion. Perhaps we could do it at half time on Tuesday
Ther are usually plenty of loud bangs when your mob come and visit, so I think it could fit in really well.
Anyway, I can't hang about, I've got overtime, making clackers for the big night!
Have a think and let me know!

I am shocking didn't even realise there was a fixture tonight Shocking. I am venturing away from correctr scores this week, broadening my horizons so to speak 
 
Cardiff V Wolves. Wolves have hit a damp patch and I really fancy Cardiff to get something from this home game tonight, Football under the lights has a different feeling about it. I am going for Draw Half Time Cardiff Full Time @ 15/2 BetFred
 
Crystal Palace V Burnley. Palace will be buoyant after their deserved draw last week at OT and I believe they will be to much for Burnley at home but only just by a slim margin. Under 1.5 Goals @ 4/11 Coral, BetFred, BoyleSports & BetStars
 
Huddersfield V Brighton, Huddersfield are another team whose tails will be up after a great win away at Wolves, they will see this as a fixture they can win and maybe should at home, but Brighton will be looking at this as a place they can pick up away points I think this will be a good battle, both teams to score @ 13/10 SportPesa
 
Leicester v Watford. A hard one to call for me, Leicester at home are hard to beat and Watford can be indifferent could all depend on Watfords approach to the game, will Leicester lure them in before hitting them on the counter which they do so well at the King Power? Watford Half Time Leicester Full Time @ 33/1 with BLACKTYPE
 
Man City V Bournemouth, I see a stat that in the 6 fixtures between the sides, City have scored 21 and conceded only 2, I don't see the pattern changing much, City are always good value to score 3 or more especially at the Eitihad, so with that in mind i'll plump for over 4.5 Goals @ 13/8 BetFair
Newcastle V West Ham. Couple of indifferent sides here you never really know which Newcastle or West Ham team is going to turn up, and I do not see a goal fest here at all, I hate going for 0-0 so instead I am going to opt for no goalscorer in case an OG wins it, so no goalscorer @ 8/1 bet365, BETFRED & 10BET
 
Southampton V Man United. I think if the Saints lose to the Red Devils Mark Hughes will be dismissed and that says a couple of things about this fixture, firstly it shows how badly United are fairing because Southampton will expect to win, secondly Losing to United doesn't usually end with the opposing teams manager losing his job, having said all that I expect United to win and win comfortably. Over 3.5 Goals @ 12/5 Betfair
 
Now am I the only one that gets suspicious that the Premier League Fixture computer randomly throws up these derby fixtures on the same weekend?
 
Chelsea V Fulham. so Chelsea suffered a heavy defeat against Spurs last week and Fulham pulled off one of them first game in charge wins, it will reverse this week, Chelsea will win and win with ease in my opinion, Both teams to score, NO @ 20/21 BETVICTOR
 
Arsenal V Spurs, this fixture intrigues me because both sides are doing better than widely perceived, Spurs will be absolutely buzzing after their defeat of Chelsea last week, and Arsenal will be wanting to show that North London is not ready for a change of dominant colour from Red to White, I sit here thinking this is quite a hard one to predict and I think that because I really do believe it depends on how Spurs approach it, I think maybe a score draw here will be the outcome, so both teams to Score @ 1/2 SportPesa
 
Finally off to Anfield for the Merseyside Derby, a fixture which in recent history especially is heavily in the red half of the city's favour, and sorry Everton fans no change this weekend, Liverpool will be to strong for Everton and I see this being at least a two goal margin so @ Liverpool -1 11/10 SPREADEX
 
That felt really strange not trying for correct scores but thoroughly enjoyable, I hope I have helped in even a small way if you were undecided, now lets go spank the bookies  failing that see you in the pub to drown our sorrows and tell our hard luck tales 
 
 
 

It's not a game I'm getting involved in Stevie, I want them both to lose.

Particular reference should be made to Eindracht Frankfurt, which is in excellent condition and especially aggressively throws ... fires. The match with Wolfsburg is by no means easy, but victory has the first reason
EINTRACHT FRANKFURT vs VFL WOLFSBURG @@ EINTRACHT FRANKFURT, odds 1.90

Sorry Stevie, but I can't see BTTS as a good bet. We've scored once, via a huge deflection, in the last 3 games. I hope we score but I wouldn't bet on us at odds on.

Acca landed and Forest move above Sheffield Utd 

Just a word of caution on Norwich. 
Farke has confirmed today that Moritz Leitner and Onel Hernandez are both out injured.
Leitner has been Norwich’s most influential player this season, pulling all the strings and orchestrating play. If the season was to stop now, he would arguably be awarded Norwich’s player of the season.
Probably second most influential player is Hernandez. The Cuban has been a constant threat from the left wing this season, with his electric pace and trickery.
Big, big losses for tomorrow, and as mentioned in another post, Rotherham have been playing well recently, and were the better side against Sheffield United.
Another side story to the game is that of Millers boss Paul Warne. He is a Norfolk lad and Norwich fan, with all his family still living in the region. He has (understandably) been saying in the press all week how motivated he is for this game. 
I don’t really have any betting advice on this game though, and in my opinion Norwich are on the short side, in what is a typically competitive Championship. I just thought I would share some thoughts and injury news.

Appreciate your kind comments earlier. You were right about City to a degree. No idea why Pep dropped Aguero. Not saying that would have changed their score-line but why? Strange one. Interesting to see your Bundesliga tip. We could always do with more interaction in that section so next time if you could do a post in here for the EPL and then head over to the Bundesliga section to post your German tip that'd be amazing. You seem like a really knowledgeable punter so you'll definitely benefit both sections... and any others you fancy getting involved in! 

Huddersfield Town -Brighton & Hove Albion 1(2.50)bet365
I watched Huddersfield against Wolves and I can say they were full of confidence,attack is not good enough,but morale and confidence is there and they play home at their own fans.On other side I watch Brighton against Cardiff and Leicester and I can say they are poor,they are doing so much fouls around dangerous area and there is main Mooy weapon(a free kick).I saw that Hughton change formation and some players so he want to find a winning formula and in this kind of match you cant experiment with someone who is in momentum and full of confidence.I think Billing will be man of match because this guy is so good in his position

Southampton – Manchester United
This should be a no-brainer but this season with MU, it’s never easy.
Southampton have no win in 9 games (0/4/5 6:20).They are continuously falling behind the other PL teams and last year Mark Hughes saved them from relegation. He might be sacked soon and this is maybe one of his last games with Saints playing with Spurs, Arsenal and high-flying Cardiff.
Man Utd surprisingly play better on the road. They beat Bournemouth and Watford and were very close to a win at Chelsea. They are also in the last 16 in CL. At St.Mary’s MU are 8/2/0 in last 10 games (21:8).
Manchester United have many problems but Southampton have times more , so I think this should be a nice away win. Red Devils are desperate for points and this is a nice fixture to get 3.
Man Utd @ 2.10 bet365.
Hmm, as I was writing , odds changed from 1.95 to 2.10 which is not a good sign, but I still think that this is an away win.
I consider trying MU to win from behind at 9.00 because Saints start their games well and then throw away their lead and MU is the opposite - they start playing after conceding.

Saturday's games? Don't like anything all that much.
I see potentially value on Man U at 2 away to Shampton. Can't see united not winning this but we know what kind of floppers they can be.
Leicester - Watford that's the other match i kind of like. It's a close call, but i can see 2:1/1:2 type result in this one. So o2,5 at evens seems fair.
Won't touch others today.

Some of your picks is pretty insanely good since I recently started viewing your posts. I saw your fade of Man city vs Lyon, and was also on Lyon this game as well.  I watched the whole match.  Lyon had many chances, and I'm not sure they were great but still should have won that.. Man City looked really bad in my opinion.. So I believe that laying two goals with them is suicide.. But some ppl like to dance with the devil from time to time.. Good luck my friend 

If anyone's thinking of backing Hibs today I'd advise a bit of caution, we've been poor lately and Kilmarnock isn't the easiest place to go at the best of times, it's not a game I'm getting involved in.
