Nothing on tap for Thursday with the exception of some "Big stacks" College basketball plays. League action returns on Friday;
1. Melbourne Victory ML @ 2.05/+105 (AUS) 1 Unit
The title holders Brisbane visit the odds on favourite to win the title Melbourne. It is still early in Australia but to start the season Brisbane have been struggling 1W & 4 L to start their campaign. The home side Melbourne Victory are undefeated so start the season with 3W & 3D. Outside of an extra time loss in the FFA Cup Melbourne have not lost going back to April in all competitions. The home side have the leagues best attack with 14GF in 6 games all led by Albanian forward & former Brisbane player Berisha who has 5 goals already. I have to love the home side at plus money.
2. Cardiff ML @ 2.25/+125 (ENG Chmp) 1 Unit
3. Cardiff/Reading OVER 2.5 @ 1.98/-102 (ENG Chmp) 1 Unit
In regards to the to the total, Cardiff have had 4 of the past 6 games go over, Reading have had 5 of the past 6 go over. The last 3 head to head meetings all have gone over 2.5 goals. The past 3 away for Reading all over, the past 3 at home for Cardiff all have gone over. The championship averages 2.61 goals per game. Readings matches average 2.88 goals per game and Cardiff 2.47. To get odds for the over at almost even money is a play as my probability implies a 63% chance of 3 or more goals.
I like to home side to win simply based on home and away form. Reading have 1W 5L 1D away this season where as Cardiff have 6W 2L at home. Ever since the inept Solskjaer left there has been a sense of urgency and players playing for their spots as the manager has stated the squad is too big and there will be cuts. Numbers wise again Reading's past 3 away games all losses allowing 9 GA. Cardiff past 3 at home all wins scoring 9 GF. I had this as an even money odds game.
