SiMON2g - European Football 2011/12

[SiMON2g]

They have bendtner who suit more of Sunderland style of play, just like Jones. It is going to be a good game.

Agreed, really pleased with the direction Sunderland are going, I'm a big fan of clubs building and growing, I like the improvements they've made in defense, and now that they've strengthened up front they look a formidable unit.

[SiMON2g]

SERIE A KICKING OFF NOW! THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE LAST 5-6 MONTHS! FORZA MILAN!

[alon7777777]

good luck man now that you got Aquilani i gonna watch your team and hope for the best

[SiMON2g]

How we did not win that game I have no idea, Cassano with arguably the 2 best chances of the game, and Ibra with a great chance to..

[PickApprentice]

I think fitness also played a role there, somehow, AC was a bit tired later on compare to Lazio.

But, ya, I agree with you. Should have been a win easily with so many opportunities. Pato has a poor game really,should have sold him to Chelsea

[SiMON2g]

We looked very exposed at the back, you could see the gap between midfield and the back 4 when Lazio were on the counter, so I agree fitness played a big part. Milan hasn't had a great pre season by any means.

Well done on hitting the draw

Thanks mate. Could have won more, but decided to hedge after what I saw towards the end of first half.

Still a long season ahead and I believe Milan will be the champion again this season.

Good luck!!!!

LIVE IN-PLAY: Koln vs Nurenburg: Koln -1 (CURRENT SCORE Koln 1-2 Nurenberg) @ 3.20

Koln losing by a goal @ home, they are playing Nurenburg who just had a man sent off, so I can see Koln drawing this game even a chance to win it. So I see -1 as great value. 2-2 result will be a push, 3-2 result will be a win for our bet here. If you see this before the half starts, jump on it!

Champions League

Chelsea vs Bayer Leverkusen - Both teams to score

Chelsea have leaked goals in 3 of their 4 EPL games this season, and I can see them leaking again, most likely early on in the game or quite late in the game which is when I believe they will be vulnerable, I think they can win this game but the price is to short for me, I'm predicting a 2-1 or 3-1 scoreline.

Benfica vs Manchester United - Manchester United ML

Can you really bet against United at the moment? Decent value at 1.90 I had to take them for the win. If you're a props man, take Wayne Rooney to score anytime at 2.10, he's been in great form scoring over 10 goals already this season in International and League games, I haven't taken it, but if you like this, I do suggest it.

Manchester United it's red hot.... i'm thinking to pick MU -1.5...

Thanks, not to lucky this time in the Chelsea game.


Chelsea vs Bayer Leverkusen - Both teams to score -

Let's hit United tomorrow! Should be a great game they are read hot indeed at the moment.

[TomJSports]

Leverkusen is such a tough team to call this year. Should've at least gotten one.

Love ManU at that line, even in Portgual. You have a good point with Rooney, too.

[SiMON2g]

Yeah, loving the United odds too.

[SiMON2g]

Benfica vs Manchester United - Manchester United ML -

A sub-par united today.

No worries, lots of the big teams were sub par today. Be glad you didn't put too many plays down like a lot of us

[SiMON2g]

Indeed they were. It was an entertaining week though.

EPL:

Fulham vs Manchester City - Both to score @ 1.83 & Manchester City -1 @ 2.35
Manchester United vs Chelsea - Manchester United ML @ 1.83

SERIE A:

Atalanta vs Palermo: Palermo +0.5 @ 1.57
Parma vs Chievo - Chievo +0.5 @ 1.85
Siena vs Juventus - Juventus ML @ 1.72
Udinese vs Fiorentina - over 2.5 @ 2.07
Napoli vs AC Milan - AC Milan ML @ 2.75 & AC Milan +0.5 @ 1.55

I don't think Milan will lose this game, they have been very good in recent years against Napoli, and heres a little stat for consideration: Milan have only lost once in the past 16 encounters to Napoli. So I've taken the handicap, and had a bit of a stab at the Milan ML for good value.

As for the Fulham/City game, Fulham have scored in the past 4 games against City, and I can see them grabbing a goal here when the game is pretty much tied up with a 3-0 lead to Manchester, so my prediction is a 3-1 win to City.

Milan vs Udinese - Udinese +1,1.5
Cesena vs Lazio - Cesena +0.5
Chievo vs Napoli - Napoli ML
Fiorentina vs Parma - under 2.5

Fiorentina have lost their #1 striker Alberto Gilardino who picked up a knee injury in the Udinese clash, while Sebastian Giovinco, Parma's mine force in attack is out with a suspension. The games between these two team are typically low scoring, and without the head strikers appearing for either team, I see this game going under, this is my most confident play out of all my plays today, but as we all know, nothing at all is a lock.

[SiMON2g]

SERIE B:

Gubbio vs Varese - over 2,2.5

Gubbio have conceeded 15 goals in the opening 15 games of the table and sit at the bottom of Serie B. Varese on the road generally give away alot of goals, so the over in this game to me looks very likely.

[SiMON2g]

Brighton vs Leeds United - over 2.5

Leeds United have conceded 12 goals in their opening 7 league matches, and their last 6 games have had a total of 3 or more goals in them. Brighton at home are more than capable of bagging atleast 2 goals, while Leeds have conceeded 12, they have opened the season netting 13 goals at the opposite end. I can see a 2-1 or 2-2 scoreline here.

[SiMON2g]

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE:

Arsenal vs Bolton - over 2.5 @ 1.57

- Arsenal have kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games
- Arsenal have conceded 3 or more goals in 4 of their last 6 outings

Chelsea vs Swansea - Chelsea to win to nil @ 1.90

Swansea have not scored on the road this season, and Chelsea will not drop points in this game to me, a 2-0 win is what I predict

West Brom vs Fulham - under 2.5 @ 1.70

- West Brom have only 1 home goal this season, Fulham have only 1 away goal to their name
- Both teams are fatigued from midweek clashes going into extra time in the Carling Cup
- 4 out of the last 6 games had 2 or less goals scored for Fulham

Wigan vs Tottenham - Tottenham -1 @ 2.60
