France - Ligue 1 for 1/22/05

[quantumleap]

Strasbourg/Istres under 2 -112 (Pinnacle)
I rarely bet the under 2 but in this case I belive it warrants a try. Istres has scored 2 goals in 10 home matches while Strasbourg has scored 6 goals in 11 road matches (only scoring once in their last 5 road matches).

Istres totals have never gone over the 2 mark at home while only going over 2 twice in 11 road matches. Strasbourg totals have gone over 2 only once in their last 10 matches.

More later tonight.

St. Etienne pk -129 over Paris (Pinnacle)
St. Etienne has not lost in their last 9 matches and they will not lose at home in "The Cauldron". They have also recently acquired Lamine Sakho from Marseille and he will be wanting to impress his new coach and teammates. Paris is in a bit of a slump as the have struggled to score going 0-0 in their last 2 matches.

Monaco -1 -111 over Lens (Canbet)
Monaco is in 3rd place looking to make up ground against the front-leaders as #1 Lyon plays #2 Lille so they will not be wanting to settle for a tie here. They are playing at home against an over-matched Lens team that got beat at home last week by last-place Istres.

This bet may tie 6 times out of 10 but I believe it will win 3 times out of 10, well worth a bet here.

3rd scoreless match for Paris. Perhaps the under will be in play next weekend.

Net: +0.90
