Competition: Euro 2012 Qualifiers
Match: Israel vs. Greece
Pick: Draw at Half Time @ 2.10
Stake: 6 Units

Israel_Benayoun.jpg

Venue: Bloomfield Stadium, Tel Aviv
Kick-Off: 14:05

Israel is in a must-win sitiuation here, in order to keep their qualification chances alive. They are currently placed 3rd in the Group F table, trailing leaders Greece by 1 point, yet they have already played one game more than both rivals Greece and Croatia. Israel have dropped precious points so far, suffering defeats from Greece in Athens and from Croatia in Ramat Gan, while they played out a goalless draw in Georgia. Luis Fernandez's team has no other option than to win on Friday, before traveling to Zagreb. New Arsenal signing Yossi Benayoun returns to the squad and the attacking midfielder will captain the Israeli team. Striker Ben Sahar and winger Elyaniv Barda are sidelined with injuries.

It's kind of strange that while Israeli teams have a good tradition against Greek opponents, it's the other way around with the national teams of those countries. It was a few weeks ago when Maccabi Tel Aviv thrashed Panathinaikos 3-0 at Bloomfield Stadium and last year the same team had knocked Olympiakos out of the Champions League. However Israel has not won any of the 5 encounters against Greece, in fact they have lost four and drew just one.

Fernando Santos is aiming to extend the unbeaten run of 12 games. Greece have recorded 7 wins and 5 draws in the 12 games after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The next couple of games are crucial and two wins against Israel and Latvia will boost their chances ahead of the clash with Croatia in October. Santos is expected to field a defensive team, looking to avoid early surprises and find a goal from set-pieces or Salpingidis in counter-attacks. The problem is that due to the turmoil in the Greek Super League, some players have not reached the desired fitness level.

In my opinion, Israel are rightfully the favourites in this match, since I also give them the edge over their opponents. However I expect that this will be a low-scoring affair and the draw at half-time is the most probable result (possibly a stalemate).

Competition: Belgian Tweede Klasse
Match: Wetteren vs. Tienen
Pick: Draw at Half Time @ 2.25
Stake: 5 Units

Tienen.jpg


Venue: Marcel De Kerpelstadion, Wetteren
Kick-Off: 19:00

Both teams should be pretty frustrated after their shocking Cup exits earlier this week, courtesy of lower-division teams. Standaard Wetteren lost at Hoogstraten 3-2, despite the fact that their opponents had to play with 10 men for quite a while. Brazilian left back Bruno Camacho Da Silva came from Lierse and he might be handed his debut in today's match. Coach Kris Van Der Haegen has been suspended and he will not sit on the bench for the next couple of games. Wetteren has yet to win in the league after two matches, they drew at home against Dender (0-0) and they suffered a narrow defeat at Tubize (0-1).

KVK Tienen have lost both matches in the league. They went down 1-2 at Charleroi, before suffering a heavy 1-4 home defeat at the hands of Aalst. The Cup matches didn't do them any good either. They struggled to qualify against poor Lambusart (1-0 in extra-time) and they were eliminated from Peruwelz 2-0. Manager Daniel Nassen is looking to put an end to this miserable streak of performances and a positive result is needed soon. Tienen has managed to avoid defeats on their recent visits to Wetteren and it seems like a very balanced match on paper. Should the visitors manage to keep a clean sheet in the first half, it will probably be a goalless draw at half time.

Competition: EURO 2008 Qualifiers
Match: Moldova vs. Hungary
Pick: Hungary (-0.5) @ 1.95
Stake: 6 Units

Hungary_Rudolf_Sweden.jpg


Venue: Zimbru, Chisinau
Kick-Off: 18:45

Hungary stayed alive in the race for a play-off ticket after the 2-1 victory over Sweden on Friday. They climbed 3rd on the table of Group E with 15 points, the same as Sweden but with one game more. Given the fact that Sweden has yet to play in Finland and host the Netherlands (the match at San Marino could only be considered as a training session), the Magyars have every reason to believe that they stand a chance. They cannot settle with anything less than 6 points out of the two remaining games, which are against Moldova (A) and Finland (H).

Friday's match was a thrilling encounter, with both teams creating numerous chances to score. Hungary wasted a penalty kick (hit the crossbar), but they took the lead at the end of the first half with Szabics. Earlier in the game, Ibrahimovic had a shot at Kiraly's left post. Wilhelmsson scored for the visitors in the 60th minute and Sweden appeared to be dominating the game ever after. However, Rudolf's late strike gave his team a decisive victory. Hungary has shown signs of improvement lately, let's not forget the match against the Dutch (which ended 5-3).

Moldova took a heavy beating in Finland, suffering a 4-1 defeat. The final score was flattering for the visitors, as they could have conceded at least a couple more. Terrible defending, with lots of mistakes. It's not surprising that they have conceded 8 goals in the last two games (from Finland and Sweden). During the EURO 2008 qualifying stage, Moldova thrashed Hungary 3-0, however I don't think that we can see this happening again. I trust the Magyars to edge this match and escape Chisinau with all 3 points, anything else would be suicidal for them.

Competition: Europa League
Match: Lazio vs. Vaslui
Pick: Lazio (-1.25) @ 1.90
Stake: 6 Units

Lazio_Cisse_sm.jpg


Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Rome
Kick-Off: 18:00

The quest for European glory begins tonight for Lazio, as they aim to reach the final stages of the Europa League and even claim the trophy. That's what French striker Djibril Cisse mentioned ahead of the Group D opener at Stadio Olimpico. Lazio eased past FK Rabotnicki in the play-offs, with two wins (3-1 and 6-0). They also had a fine start in the Serie A, earning a 2-2 draw at AC Milan. That was an entertaining match to watch, with the Biancocelesti getting a two-goal lead and the Rossoneri fighting a come-back before the end of the first half. Coach Reja is likely to make some changes to the squad he used on Friday and the most notable one is that Miroslav Klose will sit on the bench, as the German striker is struggling with an injury. Tommaso Rocchi will partner Cisse in the front line and the veteran forward will have his eyes set for his 100th club goal. A special occasion indeed, which will be great to celebrate along with a win at Stadio Olimpico.

Vaslui were knocked-out of the Champions League from Twente and they managed to secure a ticket for the Europa League Group Stages by eliminating Sparta Prague. The Romanian side has been poor on the road in European competitions, having won just once (against Latvian Liepajas Metalurgs). Brazilians Adailton and Wesley, as well as Lucien Sanmartean, are some players worth having a look at.

I don't think that the Yellow-Greens stand a chance tonight. Lazio is far stronger and has a chance to cruise to a convincing victory. The morale is high in the Italian camp and I expect them to dominate the game early-on. The (-1.25) Asian Handicap is quite a safe bet, since you get half the stake back in case of a Lazio win by a single goal margin.

Possible line-ups:
LAZIO: Marchetti - Zauri, Diakite, Dias, Lulic - Ledesma, Matuzalem, Gonzalez - Hernanes, Cisse, Rocchi.
VASLUI: Puia - Milanov, Farkas, Balaur, Milisvljevic - Pavlovic, Costin, Wesley, Sanmartean, Adailton - Temwanjera.

Competition: Eurobasket 2011
Match: France vs. Russia
Pick: Over 135.5 Pts @ 1.85
Stake: 8 Units

francebasket.jpg


The big semi-final of the European tournament between France and Russia is the most interesting game up to now, and it is expected to be a big derby as both teams are performing almost excellent up to now. Both France and Russia, have the big NBA stars (Tony Parker, Andrei Kyrilenko) at their rosters, and were from the beginning of this tournament the favorites for the participation at the final on Sunday.

With an average points of 79.1 for France and 74.8 for Serbia for this tournament, and naturally two offensive teams, i see a very good potentional the 135.5 points that bookmakers offer for this match.

Here are some factors from the official tournament website :

Head-to-Head: Russia have won five of their eight meetings against France at the EuroBasket over the years, but Les Bleus beat them in their last meeting in Poland in 2009, 69-64.

Last Time Out: France won 64-56 over Greece and Russia beat Serbia, 77-67.

Key Match-Up: France center Joakim Noah v Russia pivot Timofey Mozgov

Key Stat: France sharpshooter Mickael Gelabale, who sprained an ankle in Group E action and then missed games against Lithuania and Spain, played just seven minutes against Greece.

X-Factor: Boris Diaw of France. After a strong start to the EuroBasket, Diaw has averaged just three points in the last four games and didn't score against Greece.

Sounding Off: "We have guaranteed a place in the pre-Olympic tournament for next year. It was our first goal, but we still have a chance to qualify directly if we win tomorrow (Friday)," says France coach Vincent Collet.

Competition: Greek Super League
Match: Atromitos vs. Panathinaikos
Pick: Draw at Half Time @ 2.09
Stake: 5 Units

Panathinaikos_Ferreira.jpg


Venue: Peristeri Stadium, Athens
Kick-Off: 17:30

Unlike what tradition suggests, Panathinaikos is expected to have a tough time at Peristeri. The Greens may have taken the maximum points out of the two matches they have played so far, but their performance was far from convincing. Even in the previous game, against PAS Giannina at home, the visitors created numerous chances to score and the defenders were pretty busy for most of the time. Surprisingly, coach Ferreira dropped out of the squad both left-backs, Nikos Spyropoulos and Giorgos Ioannidis, which means that he will opt to use Cedric Cante on that side. I was particularly surprised to see that at the same time he included 3 goalkeepers, as well as Simao Mate Junior (DM) who has been out of his plans ever since the start of the new season. Sotiris Ninis (AM), Lazaros Christodoulopoulos (AM) and Stergos Marinos (DM) remain sidelined with lengthy injuries. New signing Gergely Rudolf is set for his debut, although the Hungarian striker is likely to come from the bench at some point in the game.

There is significant turmoil in Panathinaikos camp lately and that is due to the "war" between the current owner, Giannis Vardinogiannis, and the wanna-be one, Andreas Vgenopoulos. The controversy has been going on for the last couple of years, but the decline in the club's status sparked the fire and tensions are riding high. Vgenopoulos issued a deadline to Vardinogiannis to reply to a proposal until Monday, yet it's almost certain that he will not get anything. Meanwhile Panathinaikos fans are sick of both and their quarrel, however they cannot see a light at the end of the dark tunnel, at least in the near future. Although all these may sound irrelevant, they are responsible for the lack of focus inside the team, as both players and manager are left on their own.

The morale in Atromitos camp is high, following the win over Aris in Salonica. Four points out of two games on the road (a draw in Crete against OFI was the result in the season opener) is a solid start for George Donis' team. Atromitos were a tough nut to crack at their homeground last year (4W-9D-2L) and I think that no team will have an easy task when visiting Peristeri. Ahead of today's match, the hosts don't have any problems besides Stelios Sfakianakis (MF), who is sidelined. Striker Kostas Mitroglou will be the target-man in the attack, as the former Olympiakos player will be extremely motivated to score against Panathinaikos.

In a tense game like this one, which may be decided by a single goal, the draw at half-time looks appealing to my eyes. Panathinaikos doesn't have the quality to dominate the game, while Atromitos will be keen to take it slow and pile the pressure on their opponents as time goes by.

Competition: English Premier League
Match: Aston Villa vs. Newcastle
Pick: Aston Villa (-0.5) @ 1.96
Stake: 6 Units

Darren-Bent-Aston-Villa-Premier-League-PA_2554090.jpg


Both teams have made good starts, having unbeaten record is something that only Stoke, Chelsea and Manchester sides have achieved so far, and this is not easy thing. Newcastle defense was very strong, conceded only one goal but apart of that solid defence there is one thing that worries Newcastle and I'm talking about offense which has scored only three after four games. Well, it worked perfectly so far despite of that issue, the goal was protected and that made Newcastle go for two wins and two draws - both goalless while winning games were against Sunderland and Fulham, both by one goal. I don't know for how long they will manage to keep like that but surely not for too long, and they were lucky to not concede last round when they have played QPR.

Aston Villa had appointed a coach that relegated Birmingham last season, Alex McLeish - a manager that I personally think he is ok for Villa job. He had a good start, Villa are unbeaten after four rounds, just like their today opponents. So you would ask me why I'm backing them in this match-up, one that at first look you'd consider ending in draw most likely. I think that Villa's edge here is that they are a most potent side in offense, they do have a real goal scorer upfront and also dangerous men that could score. That is what Villa have to edge to win this game, and I think they will be ablo to do it.

It's important to consider the head to head. Villa Park is a place where Newcastle won last in 05/06 season but after then Aston Villa were too strong for them, winning the last four games. So it should be today, Newcastle defense won't be that strong forever and Villa surely has the enough power to break it, at least to give them a one goal margin win. I recommend a punt on Aston Villa -0.5.

Match: Siena vs. Juventus
Pick: Juventus to win @ 1.80
Stake: 8 Units

Juventus_Pirlo_DelPiero.bmp


Venue: Artemio Franchi, Siena
Kick-Off: 14:00

Juventus strolled to an emphatic 4-1 victory over Parma last week, opening the new season in style. I was surprised to see a rejuvenated Andrea Pirlo dictating play, but I have to admit that the 32-year-old attacking midfielder was a joy to watch. Antonio Conte was keen to bring him from AC Milan during the summer and Pirlo seemed motivated enough to prove that his good football days are far from over. Juve fans are optimistic that their team might have a chance to fight for the title, since they can focus on the Serie A race without any distractions from European tournaments.

La Vecchia Signora has an impressive record against Siena, having won 10 out of the 12 matches played in the top-flight. Moreover, they have emerged victorious in 6 of the last 7 visits to Siena (including a Cup match). Juve manager will miss defender Paolo De Ceglie, who was shown a red card in the previous match.

Siena earned a point at Catania in the season opener, in a match that most of the fans will hardly remember. Few chances for either side, as none of the opponents appeared willing to take high risks. It was a deserved draw after all for the Bianconeri, who have two tough games ahead. After hosting Juventus, they will travel to the Rome to face AC Roma. Giuseppe Sannino is expected to field a defencive-minded team, yet it will be hard to hold back Juve's forwards.

Even if it is still early, I am not going to wait for the latest news and possible formations and I have already taken Juventus to take the win on Sunday. The schedule is favoring them to stay at the top of the table until the clash with AC Milan comes next month.

Competition: Scottish Cup
Match: Aberdeen vs. East Fife
Pick: Aberdeen (-2) Asian Handicap @ 2.00
Stake: 5 Units

Aberdeen_goal.jpg


Venue: Pittodrie, Aberdeen
Kick-Off: 19:45

There is a huge gap separating the two teams, as Aberdeen is playing in the Premier League and East Fife is a mediocre team of the Scottish Second Division. The Fifers are not having fond memories of their recent visits at the Pittodrie Stadium, having suffered painful defeats in the Scottish Cup. The Dons aren't taking the tournament lightly and last season they managed to get to the Semi-Finals, where they were knocked-out from Celtic. Aberdeen had a slow start in the SPL this season, yet they are showing signs of improvement. They drew with Kilmarnock on Saturday, after fighting back from two goals down. Manager Craig Brown felt that his team should have completed the comeback, since they created numerous chances to score a couple more goals.

East Fife are stuck rock-bottom in the Second Division, after Saturday's 1-1 draw at home with Brechin. Even though they took an early lead in the match, Brechin cancelled out Walace's goal 12 minuted into the second half. I guess that manager Robertson is not having any illusions about getting past Aberdeen in the Cup and I expect the Dons to cruise to an easy victory.

Match: Atletico Madrid vs. Gijon
Pick: Over 2.75 goals @ 2.02
Stake: 5 Units

Atletico_Falcao.jpg


Venue: Vicente Calderon, Madrid
Kick-Off: 19:00

Falcao put on a real show for the Atletico fans who attended the match against Racing Santander. The Colombian striker who came from Porto in the summer, scored a hat-trick and was cheered by the crowd at Vicente Calderon. It was a much needed win for Atletico Madrid, following a stalemate against Osasuna in the season opener and a narrow defeat at the hands of Valencia. Coach Gregorio Manzano hailed the Colombian ace after the match, announcing that his hat-trick is only "the beginning of a new era".
Manzano is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Diego and Arda Turan coming from behind to partner Falcao in the attack. Although he acknowldges that it's nearly impossible to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the title, he is strongly believes that there is enough quality in his team to make an impact in La Liga.

Sporting Gijon is the only team yet to earn a single point in the Primera Division. They were defeated at home from Real Sociedad and Valencia and they also lost to Osasuna in their visit to Pamplona. Manuel Preciado's team is in need of a great performance that will boost the morale in the camp and they should not be considered as easy prey. I know that most of the punters will have written them off in this match, but somehow I think that they may surprise the hosts and find a goal. In any case, I am looking forward to an entertaining match with both teams scoring and I am backing the Over 2.75 goals, hoping that Falcao will add a couple of goals to his tally.

Possible line-ups:
ATLETICO MADRID: Courtois - Silvio, Miranda, Dominguez, Luis - Gabi, Tiago, Reyes, Diego, Turan - Falcao.
SPORTING GIJON: Fernandez - Lora, Botis, Soto, Canella - Eguren, Alvarez, Trojo, Castro, De Las Cuevas - Barral.

Pick:
Blackburn (+0.5) @ 2.06
Stake: 5 Units

Blackburn_Keane_Yakubu.jpg


Venue: St. James Park, Newcastle
Kick-Off: 15:00

A week ago, Steve Kean was about to get sacked. But the 43-year-old manager silenced his critics at Ewood Park with a stunning 4-3 victory over Arsenal. Well, at least for now... It's true that Kean is lacking experience, yet we all know that the tide in such situations may change rapidly. A win at St James' Park will definitely be a relief for the Rovers and despite what the recent form suggests, it's not as unlikely as the odds suggest. The Rovers have become some kind of a bogey-team for the Magpies and they won all 5 of their recent visits to Newcastle.

Blackburn Rovers are coming to this game, following the emphatic 4-3 win against Arsenal and a Cup win over Leyton Orient. The atmosphere in the dressing room should have improved significantly, after a dreadful start in the season. Steve Keane has nearly a full squad to choose from, as winger Morten Pedersen (MF), defender Salgado and forward Goodwillie are back in contention.

Alan Pardew could have Hatem Ben Arfa back for this game, as the French midfielder is close to full fitness. Striker Shola Ameobi is a doubt due to a shoulder injury, while Davide Santon (DF), Mike Williamson (DF) and Haris Vuckic (MF) remain sidelined. Newcastle had a tough battle at Nottingham, but they secured qualification in extra-time (4-3). They enjoy an unbeaten run in the Premier League with a 2W-3D-0L record and it's worth noticing that they have lost just one of their last 11 EPL home games.

I initially wanted to give a try to the away win because of the massive odds, yet Newcastle's solid form makes me reluctant. Therefore I am going to take a more conservative approach and pick the (+0.5) handicap, hoping that the recent hoodoo will continue and Rovers will manage to snatch at least a point.

Possible line-ups:

NEWCASTLE: Kruhl - Simpson, S. Taylor, Colocinni, R. Taylor - Obertan, Cabaye, Tiote, Gutierrez - Best, Ba.
WEST BROMWICH: Robinson - Salgado, Samba, Dann, Givet - Hoilett, Nzonzi, Rochina, Formica, Pedersen - Yakubu.

Pick:
Draw at Half Time @ 2.10
Stake: 6 Units

WBA_Mulumbu_Fulham.jpg


Venue: The Hawthorns, West Bromwich
Kick-Off: 15:00

Roy Hodgson will bring out his first-choice selection side for this match, after resting quite a lot players in the Carling Cup. West Bromwich Albion lost to Everton in extra-time, although the Baggies won't be too disappointed about that. W.B.A. have to get some points soon or else they will find themselves stuck in the mud. They are already rock-bottom in the Premier League table, following four defeats in the first five rounds. The heavy 3-0 defeat at newly-promoted Swansea was particularly alarming and the fans are becoming worried of their top-flight status.
Romanian defender Gabriel Tamas is suspended and Hungarian midfielder Zoltan Gera is doubtful for the Cottagers clash. Hodgson will take on his former club for the first time as W.B.A. boss.

Fulham are yet to celebrate a win in the Premier League, boasting a 0W-3D-2L overall record. There are some signs of improvement though, if you take into consideration the impressive comeback from two-goals down against Manchester City and taking Chelsea to the "Russian Roulette" of penalty kicks in their Carling Cup tie.
Defender Chris Baird rallied the troops, describing the match at the Hawthorns a "six-pointer" battle. Aaron Hughes (DF) has recovered from his knee-injury, however Dickson Etuhu (MF) and Bjorn Helge Riise (MF) are unavailable. Martin Jol's side has a poor record of converting chances to goals, which can explain the tendency to draw most of their games.

A tight game is what I expect here and it's worth noticing that no away side has won this fixture in the last 11 EPL matches. The draw at half time seems tempting enough to my eyes and perhaps I will give a try to the draw at full time as well.

Possible line-ups:
WEST BROMWICH: Foster - Reid, Olsson, Dawson, Shorey - Morrison, Scharner, Mulumbu, Thomas - Long, Odemwingie.
FULHAM: Schwarzer - Kelly, Baird, Hangeland, J.Riise - Duff, Murphy, Sidwell, Dempsey - Zamora, Ruiz.
