Thanks people..since picks from Betprepare proved profitable we continue with one of those ;) Go Genk!!! :D Belgian Genk are in top form, both in their national championship and in Euroleague.Today they have a great chance to settle the issue of getting through the group after only three rounds, which will then enable them to turn their attention to the championship and further advance in ranking there. Rapid Vienna, a team with lots of ups and downs this season, are in their way. They are in constant trouble this season, conceding naive goals and getting injuries of their main players. Those details might be a big strength for Genk, who are unforgiving in their own stadium lately, and Rapid will hardly be an exception. The home team will surely be in the offensive mood, trying to quickly score and break through the solid bunker of the Vienna team. Should they manage to succeed, they will have a much easier job in the rest of the game. Genk are technically a better team than Rapid, all their midfielders and forwards are individually strong on the offense, while with Burgstaller and the long injured Alar missing for Rapid the only creative force remaining is 34-year-old captain Hofmann. That would not suffice to parry Genk even in a home game, let alone away. This match smells like Genk dominating, with Rapid trying to defend and score from fast counterattacks. However, with all the weaknesses the Vienna team defense have displayed this year, the home team have a much better chance of achieving their goals and reaching a third consecutive victory that will verify their superiority in this group. Bet: 1 Odds: 1.74 (Marathon) |

Been away on a little trip but got back right in time for Champions League :) Here's one Betprepare pick..seems like a very good option to me. What's your opinion? Cheers! PORTO - ZENIT Porto are almost always the favorites at their own stadium, but rating them at such ridiculous odds is going too far in my opinion. Zenit are playing some amazing football, they are stronger than ever, literally steamrolling over their competition in Russia, and only bad luck and referees' mistakes prevented them from getting more points in the Champions League. Even though Spalletti says this isn't necessarily a critical game, we need to be realistic and say that this is a do or die match for them. Not many would put pressure on an in-form team ahead of an important match, and Spalletti's statements are logical attempts to reduce it, as he believes his team can achieve their goal if they keep playing at their best. The only mitigating circumstance for them could be if Atletico secure their progress already after four games (which is very likely, as they have two games against Austria) and go into the fifth at Petrovsky with some reservations. But Zenit can in no way rely on that, especially as this would give Porto the same advantage in their sixth game away at Calderon. Therefore, Zenit must not lose today. Reasons to believe in Zenit's positive outcome are aplenty, and the potential key figure for many in this match is Hulk, who is in top form and he could easily wreak havoc in Porto's defense, which he knows very well. Even though I'm deeply convinced that Zenit will leave Portugal undefeated, due to excellent odds and Witsel's absence I will go for a more conservative option in the form of a +1 handicap, which would see our stake return if Porto win by one goal. I expected these odds on x2. Bet: Handicap -1 Tip: 2 Odds: 1.88 BOL ;) |

SWEDEN - GERMANY PREVIEW Sweden, with their 20 point haul, can play hosts for this final qualifying game without any pressure whatsoever. Last week's win over Austria, or turnaround to be more correct, cemented their second place finish in the group. Today's opponents Germany are five points in front, and as Sweden can't overtake them, they have nothing to play for but prestige. Besides that, the hosts will be missing one important player, or it might be better to say crucial foward. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, their biggest star, is suspended for the match. First choice keeper Isaksson and defender Lustig have missed the last training session due to injury, and they probably won't play today. -We have some doubts regarding the starting 11, and I still haven't made a final decision. We will miss Zlatan, he's a world class player. We can play the same as we have we played so far, but without him it will be a lot harder - coach Erik Hamren said, before commenting on the match against the heavily favoured German side: - We went into the matches against Germany in Berlin and Austria on Friday a bit too cautiously. However, I would be naive if I thought that we will see more of the ball than Germany today. Germany secured top spot in the group with a convincing win against Ireland. They have won every match but one, the amazing draw against Sweden, when they were 4-0 up, only for the game to finish 4-4. Low had this to say about today's game: - We don't want to experiment too much in our final qualifying match. The team are on a good run and we want to keep it going. We don't want to get even for the Berlin game, that's water under the bridge for us. The players have learned from that experience, and that's the most important thing. They will still be missing almost all of their Dortmund contigent, and forwards Klose and Gomez as well, but Schweinsteiger is ready to make his 100th national team appearance. Low is about to sign a new contract, which would run until 2016, so it seems that the German FA are going to place their trust in him for another qualifying cycle. BETTING PREVIEW Basing on this Betprepare preview everything is clear..Sweden will be without Ibrahimovic and Lustig and that will be a huge handicap for them since it’s their best striker and standard, most experienced defender who are missing this match. On the other hand Germany wants revenge for that 4-4 result back in Germany and Low already mentioned that he has no intention of experimenting so I expect away team to be at their best. Bet: 2 Odds: 1.75

Yesterday was nice for us..U21's scored four goals total taking us over the margin of 2,5 goals ;) Hope Murcia can make us some money too with help of betprepare info :) MURCIA – GIRONA In an interesting match played in Jaen, not even two penalty kicks were enough for Murcia to break the hosts and extend their positive run, which ended after six games without a defeat. Their last loss before that one came at the outset of the season to current leaders Recreativo. Judging by that, this new defeat shouldn't disrupt the cogs in Murcia's machine, and we'll probably see them back to their normal selves in today's match. They will certainly not lack for motivation. Girona took seven points in its last three visits to the Nueva Condomina, but Murcia wasn't as good as it currently is, and now they are looking for payback. The fact that they are at full-strength for this match will help them achieve that and win another three points. Namely, coach Velasquez now faces a challenge of picking the first eleven from a number of quality players as the last absentee, midfielder Tete, returned into contention getting in from the bench in the last game. In the last week's derby Girona managed to win only one point. A small consolation for them, given that they won this point after two consecutive losses. Something is off on the pitch lately and coach Rodriguez is very much aware of that. Some changes are unavoidable as they are now far from the top of the table where they are planning to be in the end. Midfielder Timor, one of their best players, is still out, as well as defender Lopez. Bet: 1 (Home win) Odds: 2.30 (Pinnacle) GL mates ;) |

Last one was a push..no money lost but now it's time to earn some ;) U21 DENMARK – U21 SLOVENIA (Betprepare pick) Denmark and Slovenia showed that they want to play attractive football in their previous matches and I expect a similar approach by both teams today. Also, both teams played against a very solid Estonia under the margin, while the other two games they played went over the margin of goals scored. The home team can't count on their captain Vestergaard, which is a serious blow for their backline and I believe that the Slovenians can cause a lot of problems today. On the other hand the Danes will be boosted by the return of the excellent striker Falk, who already played for the senior national team and will make their attack even stronger. I believe that the right bet would be over on goals scored because a tie is not an option for both teams, who have been scoring a lot of goals lately and playing good attacking football. Bet: Over 2,5 Goals Odds: 1.80 Good luck if you are following ;) |

MLS Houston Dynamo - Kansas City
Kansas won against Columbus with referee help and luck, but they did not look as good as in their previous few matches. Their front line is obviously shaken after they sold Kamara and coach Vermes is rotating a lot and trying different trios, but he still has not found a solution. Their defense and midfield are without best players Zusi and Besler (players that take all set pieces) so I do not see a phase of this match in which they could be better than their hosts who started playing better, are rested and have more players at their disposal. Home team win is a good option, as is that Kansas will not score a goal. But since the visiting team will not take any risk until they find themselves chasing the score, I recommend higher stake on a match without a draw. I think that the visiting team win, if there is no red cards and if some crazy situations do not develop during the match, is highly unlikely. Bet: Draw no bet Tip: 1 Odds: 1.70 |

Same story once again..i have accounts on other forums as well..if i have nice info why not share it with others as well...you can follow me on sbr (ginger565), punterslounge (Duke1), olbg (gunnar) as well as on some other forums ;) Are we clear now? ;) GIMNASIA LA PLATA – VELEZ (Argentina Apertura) Betprepare pick Velez were not convincing in the beginning if the season, but they have been improving from game to game. In the announcement of the Argentinian championship I have written that according to the names, this is the strongest team in the country, and I stay at this opinion. This is a team with a wide range of good players, which is currently pushing at two fronts, but which is located lower on the table because of weaker results at the beginning of the season. When Velez is at its best and plays according to its potential, then this is the team that can beat anybody. And today there is such a situation. Velez Sarsfield come to La Plata in full form and Gareca will bring to the field his strongest line-up. Newell have started to fly away at the top, and if Velez want to stay in competition for the title, today they should not lose any points. Gimnasia showed last week that despite good results from this season, it is still not at the same level as the strongest teams, and were smoothly defeated 3-0 against San Lorenzo. Velez is actually the team of the same quality like San Lorenzo, perhaps even a bit stronger and it is clear that the guests have the advantage. After the defeat against San Lorenzo, the host coach Troglio announced broad changes in the line-up, which can't be good for the team which doesn't have a strong bench. The betting houses gave the host a role of the favorite, perhaps because they have more points, but this makes no logic to me. This is why I will take the guest victory without a draw (Asian handicap +0). In case of the draw, the stake is returned, and the bet is profitable if Velez win. Bet: Handicap +0 (or DNB) Tip: 2 Odds: 2.05 BOL ;) |

Unlucky there with Zenit getting a red card :/ CHERNOMORETS ODESSA - PSV I expect both teams here to be primarily focused on tight defense and this is why. For Odessa it’s their style of play, especially when they host big names like PSV today. Besides that they’ve got all three points in Zagreb and a draw here against one of the group favorites would suit them more than well. Odessa’s defense line is also impressive, in last five games on home turf they’ve allowed only one goal and this season no one was able to outclass them. On the other hand PSV will be focused not to lose today and coach Cocu prepared a tight, defensive lineup 4-2-3-1 with only one striker up front. The main reason for are absences of captain and first goalscorer Wijnaldum and important striker Park who are both missing this match as well as some defensive players so they decided to bring more stability to defense. I don’t expect too much goals today and the goal margin should stay under 2,5 goals. Bet: Under 2,5 goals Odds: 1.85 BOL ;) |

ZENIT vs AUSTIA VIENNA Zenit has excellent attacking skills, they have the creativity and great finishing. In last three games in domestic championship theyve scored 12 goals and their average this season is more than 3 per match!! They have almost none problems with absences, only Sirokov has minor injury and might be spared for this match. Austria showed some solid performances recently but it was mainly due to home turf and their away form is not that impressive. They are the weakest of all opponents in group G and since the others (Porto, Zenit and Atletico) are more or less even team it will be very significant for them to get past Austria with ease. Moreover team from Austria couldnt even handle the pressure in their championship, losing two games in a row and according to Betprepare theyll be seriously weakened by the injuries of Stankovic and Rogulj, two first-team players, as well as Gorgon, Grunwald and Dilaver. Even if Austria was to come with full squad it would be a surprise if they managed to avoid serious defeat here in Russia and with these absences it will be even harder for them. Bet: -1,5 handicap Tip: 1 Odds: 1.75 Cheers ;)

Another succesfull day behind us with Nice winning against Guingamp..let's hope Goteborg will do the same today ;) Cheers :) KALMAR - GOTEBORG Although Kalmar are playing a solid game recently, I am not convinced that they will be able to parry their guest neither in quality not in motivation. The Kalmar defense, as mentioned in the preview, looks very stable at the moment, but that has a lot to do with the schedule they've been having. They played rather more defensive teams in their last five games, such as Gefle, AIK, Halmstads, and it's no wonder they managed to keep their net intact. That will definitely be much more difficult against a team such as Goteborg, which they've already proven earlier against Malmo, who loaded them up with four goals. Goteborg are in dire need of points at the moment, and cannot afford a fumble here. They are one of the teams with the best form in the championship at the moment, I'd even dare say the most impressive, looking at their results. Against the opponents Kalmar got one point from, playing no-goal ties (Gefle, AIK, Atvidabergs), Goteborg scored high wins and it is hard to say which part of their game is more impressive - the killer offense or the tough, impenetrable defense. Aside from that, the home team will again be missing their best midfielder and offense player Soderqvist, which makes it difficult for them to strike back. Anything other than Goteborg winning this, as currently the better and more motivated team, would be a surprise Bet: 2 Odds: 2.10 BOL ;) |

Back on winning tracks with Jaro yesterday ;) Hope Nice can do the same and earn us some money :D NICE – GUINGAMP ***absent players (according to betprepare) Nice: Maupay, Anin, Mah. Traore, Eysseric, Bautheac Guingamp: Vivian, Cerdan, Pereira, Samassa Guingamp had a lot of luck so far. First of all Bastia gave them two unnecessary penalties and they took only one point, they’ve won against Sochaux who had a lot of problems in that match (injuries, new players, poor form), they’ve barely managed to get a point against Reims when opposing team had problems in the attacking part and all that doesn’t seem very impressive from the Guingamp side. Moreover, the point won against Reims is all they’ve managed to get on the road this season. Nice on the other hand is a strong team and they’ll be looking for reaction after loss away in Nantes. They’ll be playing on new stadium, with full support of home crowd since they are unbeaten at home this season. Bet: 1 Odds: 2.00 BOL ;)

Been away for a few day..got struck by flu..but we're back in action now ;) LAHTI – JARO Lahti is in excellent shape at the time, winning four out of last five matches. They also have strong motivation to fight for the third place that leads to Europe and besides that they will be boosted by the return of their top goalscorer Rafael who was suspended for the last three matches. On the other hand Jaro is currently way out of form with five losses in a row and in most of them they were outplayed by great margin. Their motivation is not something they can rely on since they’ve already fulfilled their goal – escaping relegation zone. Lahti has everything to play in this match and they are in front of home crowd while Jaro has nothing to play and hasn’t won away since May. Bet: 1 Odds: 1.70 BOL ;) |

Just unlucky there with Suttgart :/ Ibisevic missed a penalty in stoppage time but picks go on ;)
EMPOLI – SIENA (Italian Second Div) This match is a Toscan derby and a face-off of two best offenses in the first five rounds of Serie B. Both coaches announced a fight to win, both of them are hoping for a good performance and both of them announced three great forwards in the first lineup. On one side there are Verdi, Tavano and Maccarone and on the other Rosina, Paolucci and Gianetti. Those are respectable offenses, but they are not the only aces Sarri and Berreta have up their sleeves because both teams have excellent efficiency with free kicks, especially Empoli who look deadly with Tonelli in the goal area after a corner kick. Anything except a good match with at least three goals would be a big surprise. Bet: Over 2,5 goals Odds: 1.95 BOL ;) |

Thanks people :) Here's some nice info from German league ;) STUTTGART – EINTRACHT FRANKFURT After they've made changes on coaching position Stuttgart became more stable and is showing improvement lately. Now when they are out of European competitions their main and only focus is domestic championship in which they now have two victories in a row. In last match on their home arena they’ve trashed Hoffenheim with 6:2. On the other hand Eintracht is also solid in this season beginning but today they’ll have some serious fatigue problems. Only three days ago they had a tough match against Bordeaux in EL and they are not the team used to playing on both fronts (their own coach Armin Veh admitted they will have problems with fatigue). Moreover, three Eintracht’s key players will be missing this match - Meier, Rosenthal and Schwegler. I think Stuttgart’s selfconfidence is higher, they are rested and don’t have major problems with absences and anything but their victory today would be a surprise. Bet: 1 Odds: 2.10 BOL ;) |

And the last one was a clear WINNER..apoel wasnt able to score and earned us some nice amount of money ;) Anyone followed? OSTERS – HALMSTADS We're dealing here with clash of two newcomers included in relegation
battle and I expect a serious and cautious approach from both sides. Osters is
4 points ahead of Halmstads and their main goal will be to stay on that
distance and not to risk to much going gung-ho. On the other hand away team is
basing their play on strong defense waiting for counters and set pieces because
they don’t have the capacity nor the quality to play differently. In last two rounds both of them scored only 1 goal total and the offensive part
is not their strongest. Except for Syrianska they have the worst attack in the
league so far although their defenses are amongst better in the lower part of
the Allsvenskan. Moreover, (according to Betprepare) Halmstads will probably be without
their most dangerous player Selakovic who sustained an injury in the last
round. I expect a tight match and not so many goalscoring opportunities. Bet: Under 2,5 goals Odds: 1.80 BOL ;) |

MACCABI T.A - APOEL NICOSIA This APOEL team is far from the team they were a year and a half or two ago and the club management and players are aware of this fact. They no longer have important players like Trickovsky, Ailton, Marcinho etc. Serbian miracle-maker coach Jovanovic was replaced on the bench by defensively oriented coach from Portugal Paulo Sergio who is already under the pressure and he will be happy with any positive result in Israel. Maccabi is experienced team with ex Gijon goalkeeper and Almeria and Getafe defenders in the back line plus Israeli national team player Alberman on defensive midfielder position. In their six matches this season they conceded only against Basel, a much better team that APOEL, and Gyor at the end of the match when they have already ensured their win. In domestic league they conceded only 7 times in 13 home matches. Bet: Away team NOT to score Odds: 2.50

Thats what i call a bad luck..two goals in first 30 mins and it still wont go in over..but thats betting, thats life, both goes on..here's another nice pick ;) SLOVAN BRATISLAVA – NITRA (Slovakian league) Found this preview on Betprepare and seems like a reasonable bet..think it's worth a shot ;) Nitra was a good customer to the Slovan's players in the last season as well, and they aparently had a better team then. This current team is, not to use an uglier word, horrible. The dilemma regarding this game was this: home team's win with more than 2.5 goals in the game (bwin@1.75) or more than 2.5 home team's goals. I decided for the second option, because even the first one would hardly pass without Slovan scoring three goals, since Nitra's offense is pretty bad. And Unibet is paying really well for this second option. Yes, you could always say why would they chase the third goal if they're 2-0 in the lead? They didn't have to do that last season either, but they won at home with 4-0 and 5-1, and 3-0 in an away game. Slovan is the most potent offensive team in the league, and after two games in front of empty stands, they will be playing in front of supporters again, and that is definitely an extra motive. They've already gone over this margin twice this season, they stayed under three times, but they missed everything against DAC, and the game against Senice was a derby. And they were up 2-0 against ViOn in front of empty stands. But, more important thing for me right now is what Nitra's defense looks like - in four out of five away games they conceded four goals (Trencin, Kosice, Zilina and Dukla BB). They were under that only against equally bad DAC, they conceded only one goal and lost. Bet: Home team total goals over 2,5 Odds: 2.10 |
