English Premier
Aston Villa win +103
No need to worry about the Villa form. Down 0-1 at Old Trafford after one minute it is not what you are dreaming of and their task became rather hopeless. The Villa squad is strong at the moment. Players like Agbonlahor and Heskey started on the bench vs. M United. Their young defender N Baker will once again be suspended. New midfielder M Bradley could feature.
Unlike Villa Fulham have used the same group of players in their last three games, including the FA Cup fixture against Tottenham, three games in a week, and I suggest that Fulham could have a negative reaction tomorrow at the Villa Park. No D Etuhu for this match.
Tottenham -1 +120 (Greek)
One goal was enough for Tottenham to win their tricky away game at Blackburn. The home side dominated, but the Tottenham defence stood firm. Some luck was also involved. Modric and Pienaar suffered injuries before the Blackburn game, but Pienaar will most likely be back to play tomorrow. Definitely back will be their central defender M Dawson.
Bolton got the all important three points at home to Wolves, but there was no big improvement on their side. Still new boy D Sturridge scored their late goal and together with the returning Lee, he could be the man to inspire Bolton. Bolton won 4-2 at the Reebok Stadium. So Tottenham may get their revenge.
Italy Serie A
Udinese -1 +115
The home side had big problems against a very defensive Bologna side in midweek (1-1). Now they are up against another side expected to play a defensive game. Fortunately for Udinese they will have their forward A Sanchez back for this match. Belardi will probably replace Handanovic between the sticks and Pasquale could come in for Armero.
Sampdoria lost again and even worst they deserved nothing from their home game with Cagliari. Tissone will come in for the suspended Poli on their midfield and hopefully their defender Lucchini will be fit to play. Biabiany and Maccarone will probably start upfront. I expect Udinese to break down the Sampdoria wall.
Cagliari pk +112
Should Juventus really be the favourites in this fixture? They are three points ahead of Cagliari in the league table and after three consecutive losses you have to say that the Juve form is rather poor. They cannot and must not lose again but there are two sides involved and Cagliari impressed away to Sampdoria (1-0 win).
Obviously they could handle the Matri absence and tomorrow Cagliari will face their former striker Matri, who will play upfront for Juventus alongside Del Piero. Bonucci will return to the Juventus defence from suspension. Maybe Matri will have a torrid time in front of his old fans, or maybe he will be fired up. You never really know. Pelizzoli will replace Agazzi in the Cagliari goal.
France Ligue 1
PSG pk -106
To win away to Rennes has never been easy for any French side, but now is the time for PSG. They have no injured players and they have no suspended players this week. Rennes lost to Reims in the France FA Cup this past tuesday and to Sochaux 1-5 last week. Four of their regulars, all starters last week, will be missing this time. Their keeper Douchez is suspended, defender Mangane, midfielder Dalmat and their forward Kembo-Ekoko will not make it either.
Spain La Liga
Osasuna win +100
I am not jumping on the Osasuna bandwagon just because they defeated R Madrid last week. They are as always tough to beat at their own place with 5-4-1 this far and for this match they welcome back three important players, Nekounam, Monreal and Masoud. Pandiani was back last week against R Madrid. Osasuna will be without their suspended defender Damia. Mallorca are in rather rotten form will miss the suspended duo Webo and Nunez, both key players, the mean Webo upfront and Nunez in defence.
Zaragoza win +102
Zaragoza are on a great little run and they even won an away game last week. They have won their last three home games and this match vs. Racing certainly looks like another winnable game for them. I Uche is finally fit again and he will be part of the big squad for this task.
Racing have to manage without their front man Rosenberg, who is suspended, but their veteran player Munitis will be back to play. Dos Santos, forward from Tottenham, has joined the club.
