Barcelona are waiting in the Copa del Rey final and will meet the winner of these two sides. The home team are surely disappointed after the big 4-0 defeat at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. That match was more even than the 4-0 result tells us, three of Sevilla's goals was made after counter attacks, where Sevilla showed their top class in counter and possession play. The quick striker Kevin Gameiro scored in the 60. and the 62. minute, before Michael Krohn-Dehli made the final result with his goal. Celta manager Eduardo Berizzo will try to make an attempt to punish the opponents today, but it's an almost impossible task. Celta played Sevilla in the league last weekend, that match ended in a 1-1 draw. Both Guidetti and great Orellana are expected back in tonight's lineup. Celta plays with a lot of energy and tempo in their game, and have to give it all in this match. It will be an open match tonight and we'll probably see a lot of goals. Nolito (striker) is still injured for the hosts, also defender Andreu Fontas are out. Expected lineup Celta Vigo: Blanco Jonny – Cabral – Gomez – Mallo Hernandez – Radoja – Wass Aspas – Guidetti – Orellana Sevilla and their manager Unai Emery have a comfortable lead, and will probably rotate a bit in their starting lineup. Emery does this a lot, but the big question is if it's Gamiro or Llorente who starts up top for the visitors. Gameiro was fantastic in the first leg, and are a counter treat on his own. Sevilla's got a bit of injury problems in their defense, but still got a big squad to pick players from. Emery's side is a typical home team, and the league stats shows that in a quite funny way: Home: 10 wins, 0 draws, 2 defeats Away: 0 wins, 7 draws, 4 defeats The away side can lose with 3 goals or less and still go through to the final where they meet the mighty FC Barcelona. But the starting lineup for Sevilla is still a big uncertainty. Celta will give it all tonight. Injury list Sevilla: Marco Andreolli (defender) Nicolas Pareja (defender) Federico Fazio (defender) suspended Grzegorz Krychowiak (midfield) Expected lineup Sevilla: Rico Coke – Rami – Kolodziejczak – Tremoulinas N'Zonzi – Cristoforo Vitolo – Banega – Krohn-Dehli Gameiro We believe Celta Vigo will make an honest attempt to make the final today. But it could be dangerous to chase goals high up the field against Sevilla. We bet on a Celta Vigo win combined with over 3,5 goals, in a match that might be amazing to watch.

Stoke manager Mark Hughes need to pick up some league points after a hectic period with league matches, Capital One Cup and FA Cup. The home side is on a 10th in the league, with 5-2-4 homestats at Britannia. A 0-0 draw home against Arsenal was followed by a 3-0 loss away to Leicester, and last week a 3-0 loss away to Manchester United. In the meantime the red and white has been knocked out of the Capital One Cup after penalties against Liverpool. Also the FA Cup are history after losing 1-0 away against Crystal Palace. Stoke has impressed at times in the league, and now they can continue concentration on the league. Have some injury problems in their squad, especially both centre back's Shawcross and Wollscheid are important absences. Ryan Shawcross has been really good and stable this season, and is one of the key players in the Stoke squad. Injury list Stoke City: Shay Given (goalkeeper) Marc Wilson (defender) Ryan Shawcross (defender) Philipp Wollscheid (defender) Geoff Cameron (defender) Expected lineup Stoke City: Butland Johnson – Muniesa – Bardsley – Pieters Whelan – Imbula Shaqiri – Bojan – Arnautovic Walters Everton is the team in Premier League with most draws, but last week they showed their strengths with a great 3-0 win at home to Newcastle. Two of the goal came from penalties, and both scored by the young and promising Ross Barkley. Roberto Martinez's side sits on the place behind Stoke on the table, on 11th. The away stats shows 3-7-1. Lost the opportunity to play their local rivals Liverpool in the Capital One Cup final, after losing 3-1 to Manchester City in the semifinal. The blues from Liverpool are still playing in the FA Cup after beating Carlisle 0-3 in the last round. All are waiting for Everton to perform and stabilize themselves, they've got a strong squad but are failing to deside even matches. Lukaku is still a big threat up top for Everton, the striker's got 15 goals in the league, 3 behind the Premier League top scorer Jamie Vardy (Leicester). Defensive absences for the away side as well, John Stones is the most important. Injury list Everton: Tim Howard (goalkeeper) Tony Hibbert (defender) Tyias Browning (defender) John Stones (defender) Muhamed Besic (midfield) Expected lineup Everton: Robles Coleman – Jagielka – Mori – Baines McCarthy – Barry Lennon – Barkley – Cleverley Lukaku Exciting offensive players from start on both team, while important defensive players are out injured. Especially Muniesa at Stoke will have a big challenge in the duels and pressing in the middle spaces. At the same time Imbula will make his debut at the defensive midfield for Stoke, he's a strong player with a big work-rate. Imbula and Whelan will make the job difficult for the Everton midfield to create chances today. We find the value in this match at a draw, perhaps we'll see a few goals too. We bet on a draw at Britannia. Stoke – Everton X

The home team has only manage to get 10 points in their 12 matches at home in the French capital. Paris FC are at the bottom of the table on 20th with only 16 points. Their last 6 matches have only given them 1 point, this point was picked from their bottom colleagues Sochaux (18th). In the last match they lost 1-0 away from home to Brest. The one and only win for Paris came back in August last year, they have now played 22 matches without another win. The home like a lot of other teams from France plays a lot of draws, the total season stats shows 1-13-9. It doesn't help Paris FC that their top scorer Grange is out injured ahead of today's match. Who will make score goals for them in this match? These players are unavailable for Paris FC today: Bouchard (goalkeeper) Bongongui (midfield) Diarra (striker) suspended Ayari (striker) Grange (striker) The visitors are on a good 5th place in Ligue 2 with 37 points. Lost 3-1 in the weekend against league leaders Nancy, also lost 6-2 three weeks ago against the form team in the league Nimes, Nimes have actually taken 12 of their 25 points on their last 4 matches, they're really in good shape. Without these two losses, Clermont Foot's got 5-1-0 on their last 8 matches, great stats for today's away side. The evening they meet the table jumbo, and only three points are good enough. Clermont Foot also got the top scorer in Ligue 2, the Senegalese Famara Diedhiou (on loan from Sochaux) has scored amazing 21 goals on his 23 games this season. Diedhiou is only 23 years old, but with his hight at 1,92 cm, he's booth good in the air and with the ball in his feets. He's in real goal scoring form with 7 goals on his last 5 appearances. We're sure that Clermont Foot will score in this match, but when it comes to score goals it would be a hard task for the hosts, they've only scored 15 goals on their 23 matches so far. Unavailable players for Clermont Foot: Agounon (defender) suspended Goncalves (midfield) Genest (midfield) We bet on an away win to Clermont Foot at Stade Sébastien Charléty today, to a quite surprising high odds value. Many will say it's a high risk for a draw in this match, but because of the circumstances earlier written we see most value in a clear away win. Paris FC – Clermont Foot 2

Read full preview at: http://www.rainbow-bet.com Second leg in the Capital One Cup semifinal, Liverpool takes on Stoke at Anfield Road. The home side won 0-1 at Britannia in the first leg, but still got a long injury list. The team who win over two legs will meet either Everton or Manchester City in the final at Wembley. The home team has played some entertaining matches lately. 2-2 against Exeter, 3-3 in the Premier League against Arsenal and in the weekend an incredible 4-5 win to Norwich. If we can see a match with a lot of goal today is another matter. Divock Origi is in really goalform at the moment, scoring 4 goals in his last 3 league matches. Origi is unfortunately unavailable for today's game. Good news that centre back Dejan Lovren is recovered after his injury, but expected to start on the bench. An extra motivating for Liverpool is that they may meet their local rivals Everton in the final (Everton beat Manchester City 2-1 in the first leg). These players are unavailable for Liverpool today: Nathaniel Clyne (defender) Steven Caulker (defender) Martin Skrtel (defender) Joe Gomez (defender) Connor Randall (defender) Philippe Coutinho (midfield) Jordon Rossiter (midfield) Daniel Sturridge (striker) Divock Origi (striker) Danny Ings (striker) Expected lineup Liverpool: Mignolet Enrique – Toure – Sakho – Moreno Henderson – Lucas – Can Ibe – Benteke – Milner The away side are looking for a revenge after the 0-1 defeat at home in the first leg, and have to score goals tonight to go through to the final. After a 3-0 win against Norwich in the league, it's been 0-0 home against Arsenal and an ugly 3-0 defeat away to Leicester in the weekend. Stoke have shown that their top level are high this season, but they're still a bit unstable in performance. The important centre back Ryan Shawcross are out due to injury for Stoke. Geoff Cameron (defender) and Shay Given (goalkeeper) are also unavailable. Marko Arnautovic is fit after his hamstring injury, but it's a big question is Mark Hughes starts with his top scorer in this match. A possible choice is Mame Biram Diouf if Arnautovic is benched. Expected lineup Stoke: Butland Johnson – Wilson – Wollscheid – Pieters Whelan – Afellay Walters – Bojan – Arnautovic Crouch Stoke manager Mark Hughes seems to have a plan to exploit Liverpool weakness on set pieces/corner kicks tn todays game. 203 cm high Peter Crouch will most likely play up to for the visitors. Ex Liverpool player Crouch has a good stat against his former club, has scored 3 goals in his last 5 apperances against Jurgen Klopp's side. The goals came back in March 2012, January 2014 and the last one in May 2015. Liverpool will lose pace on their right side with important Clyde missing out. Both Bojan and Arnautovic can use the space that Liverpool leaves behind, to try to find Crouch with crosses to the box. Liverpool has been uncomfortable on crosses in the box through the whole season, and it looks like a good game plan for Stoke to play a more direct and long ball style today. The man they'll try to find is Crouch, most likely in the air. We see great value in Crouch continues his stats against Liverpool today, and bet he'll nick in a goal in this game. Peter Crouch (goalscorer)

A ball possession home team can't seem to deliver results this season, and this evening the meet a team who likes to play against these type of opponents. Rayo is on a 19th place in the league, and are fighting for survival. Only got 2 points more than jumbos Levante, they've only got 16 points so far and 3-2-5 at home. Rayo has now played 10 matches in the league and the cup without a win, the last win came back in early november against Getafe (2-0). Rayo Vallecano has only won against Getafe, Granada and Espanyol, all considered as weak away teams. The home team likes to have ball possession, and are quite good at this. Have generally more ballpossession than their opponents, regardless of who they play against. 11 goals on 10 home matches tells us about a team that don't create enough chances on goal, and at the same time are inefficient. Adrian Emborba (midfield) was injured against Valencia in Copa del Rey last match, besides both their reserve goalkeepers are out with injuries. Here is the complete injury list: Tono (goalkeeper) David Cobeno (goalkeeper) Razvan Rat (defender) Patrick Ebert (midfield) Adrian Emborba (midfield) Expected lineup Rayo Vallecano: Yoel Quini – Ze Castro – Tito – Martinez Trashorras – Llorente Bangoura – Jozabed – Hernandez Guerra The visitors are on a great 5th place in La Liga with 34 points, are at the same time the second best away side in the league behind Atletico Madrid with a 5-2-2 stat. Their last match against exactly Altletico Madrid in Copa del Rey ended up in a scoreless draw, in a match where Celta dominated at times but couldn't find the winning goal. The task is hard in the 2.leg in Madrid. This match is perfect for the visitors, they like the lie deep in their well-known 4-3-3 formation and surprise their opponents with fast counter attacks and attacks after breaks. Celta has been very good at this the entire season. It's expected that Pablo Hernandez (midfield) and Jonas Guidetti (striker) are rested from start. A lot of doubts around striker Nolito, but Celta's got a fearsome treat with their wings Aspas (9 goals) and Orellana (6 goals). Andreu Fontas (defender) and Marcelo Diaz (midfield) are out injured for the visitors. Expeccted lineup Celta Vigo: Alvarez Jonny – Cabral – Gamez Sola – Mallo Radoja – Wass – Bogonda Orellana – Beauvue – Aspas With a home team struggling, especially at home, we think it's a worst case scenario to meet Celta Vigo today. We've been fascinated of Celta's offensive play this season, and they're undoubtedly best as outsiders in matches. At the same time we're surprised of the high odds value for Celta. The 10 last matches between these two teams shows: 5 Rayo Vallecano wins 1 draw 4 Celta Vigo wins We don't think this game will end in a draw, and bet on an away win for Celta Vigo. Rayo will have a lot of ball possession, but the striker-trio don't need many chances to punish the hosts. Rayo Vallecano – Celta Vigo 2

Read full preview at: http://www.rainbow-bet.com Today is another quarterfinal in Copa del Rey. Sevilla takes on Mirandés at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, kick off 21.00 (CET), this is the 1.leg of 2. The winner after two matches will meet either Celta Vigo or Atletico Madrid in the semifinal. Sevilla continues winning in la Liga, they have 4 wins in a row now, and 9 wins in a row at home in all touraments. The last pointless home match was back in November, when Manchester City won 1-3 at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in the Champions League group stage. Sevilla is on a 7th place in the league, a little bit under the expectations, the third best home team in la Liga (behind Barcelona and Real Madrid) with 9-0-2. Only Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid have taken points point from Sevilla at home in the league. Manager Unai Emery and his Sevilla side has beaten strong opponents like Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona at home this season, it tells us about a strong home team, who are stable and plays with a lot of confidence in front of the own supporters. Knocked out Logrones and Real Betis so far in Copa del Rey. Sevilla probably starts with a fantastic strong starting eleven in this match, we are not in doubt that they will win against the Segunda Division side with good margin at home today. The home side have a good depth in their squad, as well as quality, they have the possibility to rotate on the starting eleven in the league as well as the cup without any problems. Manager Emery will probably make 8 changes from the last match in la Liga against Malaga, only Rico (goalkeeper), Rami (defender) and Banega (midfield) played last Saturday. Nicolas Pareja (defender) and Marco Andreolli (defender) are injured for the hosts. Expected lineup Sevilla: Rico Mariano – Rami – Kolodziejczak – Escudero Iborra – N'Zonzi Reyes – Banega – Konoplyanka Llorente The away team are dreaming of a semifinal place in Copa del Rey, but first this difficult task waits for them. Mirandés have knocked out Real Oviedo, Osasuna and the two la Liga sides Malaga and Deportivo La Coruna, great achievement. Is on a 11th place in Segunda Division, with an away stats at 4-3-4. The away side have a small squad which includes only 22 players, 3 of these are goalkeepers. Tried to rest a few first-team players in their last league match against Leganes, the match ended in an ugly 4-0 defeat away from home. Abdon Prats (striker), Marco Sagalli (midfield) and important Junior Lago (midfield) started on the bench in that match, and are all expected to play today. Expected lineup Mirandés: Fernandez Moreno – Ortiz – Cantero Eguaras – Lazaro – Salinas – Provencio Garcia – Prats – Sangalli This match will show the difference in quality from these two sides, unfortunately we think the cup adventure for Mirandés is over after todays match. We think Mirandés can be vulnerable if they choose to play with a threeback line, as they did against Deportivo La Coruna. With Reyes and Konoplyanka who can challenge on the wings as well as in the middle, the away team can be in big trouble on Sevilla breaks or counter attacks. Banega will be important in the match, a deep midfielder who dictates the tempo and passes the ball around, also a rested Llorente who are extremely good in the air, could create problems for Mirandés. We bet on a home win to Sevilla at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán with European Handicap, Sevilla must win with at least 2 goals more than Mirandés for the bet to be won. The odds are around 1.70 on the market. Sevilla – Mirandés 1 (EH -1) (0-1)

Read full preview at: http://www.rainbow-bet.com It will be guaranteed action and sound from the stands, and we'll se an Athletic Bilbao side fighting for revenge as they take on Barcelona at San Mames in Copa del Rey 1.leg today. Kick off at 21.00 (CET). The home team was outclassed by Barcelona at Camp Nou in the league only three days ago, the final score became ugly 6-0. Valverde's men will play with extreme passion today, and hope to get a good result before the 2.leg at Camp Nou. Athletic Bilbao has been really strong in the league so far, as usual it's home at San Mames they impress. Sits on a 9th place in la Liga, but at home they've got 5-2-2. Only Barcelona (0-1) and Real Madrid (1-2) have taken home three points from Basque County this season, that was back in respectively August and September. Athletic boss Ernesto Valverde rested both Ander Iturraspe (midfield), Markel Susaeta (midfield) in the 6-0 loss against Barcelona in the weekend, besides top goalscorer Aritz Aduriz was suspended in that match but he's back today. We shouldn't look so much at the result, Athletic goalkeeper Iraizoz was sent off after just 5 minutes of play, Barcelona got a penalty and thereafter it was an easy task for The Catalans with 11 against 10. Only unavailable player for Athletic Bilbao is injured Raul Garcia (striker). This team is very strong without injuries. Strength with Laporte in the back four, an elegant deep playmaker in Benat, a very promising and fearless Inaki Williams in the midfield, and of course the top goalscorer Aduriz, who are extremely important for The Basques. Expected lineup Athletic Bilbao: Herrerin de Marcos – Laporte – Etxeita – Balenziaga Iturraspe – Benat Inaki Williams – Eraso – Susaeta Aduriz Luis Enrique's Barcelona is on a 2nd place in the league, amazing home stats at Camp Nou, but away from home the numbers are mediocre 4-2-2. Enerique says at the press conference ahead of the game, that this is going to be whole different game than at the weekend. «It's always difficult when you come to San Mames to play, with a home team seeking revenge with the crown at their backs.» Barcelona got problems ahead of this match, there will be changes in the starting eleven. Rafinha (midfield) and Jeremy Mathieu (defender) are out injured. On the offensive Barcelona will miss out Luis Suarez (spiss) who is suspended, Suarez has been outstanding this season and is of course very important for this Barca side. But the problems are bigger, Lionel Messi will probably start on the bench, manager Enrique explained that Messi has some sort of soreness, but are not injured. Messi will probably be rested from start in this match. Then it's only Neymar left from «the trefoil» at top for the visitors. This is a good advantage for Athletic Bilbao. There are also 2.legs to be played in Copa del Rey, and Barca's got a good opportunity to repair a loss at home in the 2.leg. Expected lineup Barcelona: ter Stegen Alves – Pique – Mascherano – Alba Rakitic – Busquets – Iniesta El Haddadi – Arda Turan – Neymar We see a good value on a home win in the cup today. It will be a crazy atmosphere in The Basque County and a huge working-rate from the home side, who will show their supporters what they can do home at San Mames. Because of 2 legs in the cup and the offensive absence of Barcelona, we don't believe Barcelona should be so big favourites today as the bookmakers believes. Athletic Bilbao also got rested players back like Iturraspe, Susaeta and their top goalscorer Aduriz. The last 5 meetings at San Mames between these two clubs shows: 2 Athletic Bilbao wins and 3 Barcelona wins. We bet on a home win in The Basque County. Athletic Bilbao – Barcelona 1
