will be one other friday game when odds are available

13-3-9 +6.39 YTD (stake 30.19)

Friday Mexico

Santos vs Leon
- Leon had two starters injured in midweek Libertadores and will make changes to lineup for next week's return leg so they will have a mixed squad for Santos trip. Leon going through a tough stretch without a win in their four matches in 2013 after getting KO'd out of Apertura playoffs by champs Tijuana. They are anxious to play in Libertadores group stage so will rest the important players that will face Iquique so big advantage to Santos who still have most of the core group of players from last year's championship. Santos a great home team with just one defeat in last 26 (18-7-1) and Leon haven't faced them here before. Santos have the most dangerous attack in league with Peralta/Darwin/Hercules up front and Leon have allowed 2-2-2-3-1 in last 5 away games, 1-0-4 5/10. Playable to 1.80 or -125


Santos 2u to win 2.12u

Friday UNCAF Cup

Panama vs Guatemala
- 5th place match with winner gaining final Gold Cup spot for this summer's tournament. Panama played the best football in the tourney but missed too many chances and ended up with 2 draws then lost a semifinal spot to a draw. Guatemala in a tough spot with 4th match in 7 days as Panama played one less. Teams met two weeks back for a pair of friendlies both won easily by Panama, 2-0 and 3-0, making it 7 straight wins over Guatemala, 7-0-0 13/2. of course match has potential to draw but I'll take the better team in a match deciding who plays in the region's summer cup.

Panama 2.5u to win 2.5u

small Fri double

Dortmund + Honduras 1u to win 0.75u

Dortmund are playing like a top 5 team in the world right now. Nurnberg 2 points in last 7 away games and haven't scored at Dortmund since 2006 (and haven't won away there since 1990)
Honduras are 2 levels ahead of Belize who, IMHO, played the worst football in this tournament. Shame they will go to Gold Cup at Nicaragua's expense but will give them credit for winning their first ever UNCAF match. I think this will be easy 2+ goal win

 

[barclay]

Nice run right now roll. Do you think Dortmund covers the 2 goal AH (I know that you are only taking them ML on your double). They have so much attacking talent but will the be motivated enough to step on Nurnberg's throat if they are up 2-0...?

 

[rolltide]

i was thinking 2-0 correct score. given that nurnberg offense is so poor and never score in dortmund i think the worst you will do is push

 

[nojuice9]

I'll be tailing your Santos selection, nice ifno. I was wondering if you had been looking at anything in the FA Cup? I am thinkning about a draw in the Leeds - Spurs match.

 

[rolltide]

like the city/stoke under 2.5 and millwall pk but i'm not betting any fa cup this weekend

leeds x not bad. they've drawn 4 of their last 7 FA cup home matches although lost 3-1 to both spurs and gunners here in last few years. spurs with 3 draws in last 5 road fa cup games since the 3-1 win at leeds.

just not really much of a cup bettor. guessing arsenal will be big public bet after midweek 2H thrashing...

I got my step on the throat goal from Dortmund! Lewandowski never fails!

 

[gobucks]

Arriba Honduras....hard to believe that in 12 days the USA will start WC qualifying against this side that now has all this playing together under their feet....Hoping for a point on Feb 6.

 

[NovaGamaPollos]

anything for early sat morning?

 

[barclay]

WOODROW WILSON WEST is a WALLLL!!!! This is a surprisingly fun match to watch, Belize plays defense like a 5 on 5 basketball game, but they are surprisingly effective. Some real gems on this tiny countries squad if you ask me, starting with THE PRESIDENT

:smoking:

 

[gobucks]

Wish I got GolTv...they took it from us DirecTV customers when they added BEIN sports.....1-0 Honduras in the 68th minute!

I had to get the sports package with my cable provider, but I feel like I'm in heaven with BeIN Sports, GolTV, FoxSoccerHD, Fox Soccer Plus HD, ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, NBS Sports, Univision....the list goes on and on! Good win for us, I was surprised at how effective Belize was with their semi-bus parking strategy... they just need to make more of an effort to push forward in numbers on the counterattack and they could maybe cause some teams trouble in the future.

went 'bank' on Dortmund earlier today, didn't pay much. Took that risk and doubled (plus alittle) it on Santos...that comes in I'm all profits on Leeds draw. Thanks for you time and energy. great contribution(sp) to this forum.

i expect the same. Not sure if it is enough to fall as the bottom clubs show no potential of climbing, but if Hoffenehim catches someone it will be Fortuna.
