Holland:
PSV/NEC over 3.5 @even
PSV/NEC 2nd half over 2 @+114
half with most goals: 2nd @-105 - PSV has won 12 out of the last 14 H2H's (2 draws), and most were of the 2+ goal variety. currently in great form domestically going 5-1-0 with a big 16/7 goal difference. NEC is brutal on road with a 2-3-6, 7/22 goals and have scored just once in past 3 roadies.
- regarding that 2nd half over (i luv this one), 9 out of the last 11 matches have seen 2+ goals in 2nd half which has won in 10 of the last 12 meetings. in large part because NEC plays behind the ball till PSV figures it out.
Switzerland:
YB/Gallen over 1.5 goals in 1st half @+100
YB/Gallen over 3.5 @-102
YB -1.5 @+123 - 2nd place Boys in terrific form of late going 5-0-1 their past 6 with a 16/12 goal difference, just a shade below a 5 average over their past 6 matches. at home they are 3-0-0, 10/5 during that stretch. 5th place Gallen are 'average' at best on the road going 2-3-5, 11/17 goals.
- 8 out of the last 10 H2H's since 2014 have seen 3+ goals.
- all 5 matches on this field have seen 4+ goals (2-2 earlier this season)
- Gallen havent beaten them there in well over 10 years, managing just 3 draws.
YB were blown out on road last week 4-1 to Luzern and this angle plays into the factor as they try to retain that CL spot next year.
Peru: Tourney Group Stages.
Juan Aurich -1 @+105, over 2.5 @-105 - Aurich is a decent Peruvian side whom do well at home in 2016; but this play is pretty much a fade on their opponent. Comercianto were terrible on road 1-5-9, 13/23 goal difference. They hadnt scored in 5 straight road matches heading into their winter break, then apparently lost several key players in the transfer market. And along with that theyve opened 2017 with consecutive losses in this Group B (4-2, 2-0) not only did they concede a bunch but whats even more alarming was the amount of chances allowed. If Aurich shows up and takes this seriously -- they should becuase they lost their first match to a strong Municipal side --- this should be a comfortable home win.
Concacaf U20: top 4 qualify for World Cup
Panama/USA over 2.5 @-101 - first of all, I think the WRONG team is favored here. Panama, at the youth level, are a very good country. and they have a good record/pedigree in these qualifying tournaments; had won their Group in each of the two previous tournaments. lost to Mexico in penalties back in 2015 after BREEZING thru their group with a 5-0-0 and not even conceding a goal. ummm, USA was in that same group and these two are paired again together. Panama won 1-0 two years ago.this is one of those types of matches where you have an extremely defensively-organized strong squad going up against a high-scoring, attack minded opponent (USA). USA ended up advancing behind Panama in 2nd place scoring the most goals of any in their group (12 in 5 matches).
Revenge is a BIG factor here as USA has several players still from that side and a lot of young talent. Both should EASILY qualify again, irrespective of todays result, USA coach is going for win but Im not convinced they can do this, however, this should be an open match with many chances. If USA can snag a first half goal, they will punish Panama on the counter attacks in 2nd half.
Again, in a group where the top 2 advance, with WEAKLINGS Haiti & St. Kitts, both of these two will advance; so I dont think this match will be played tentatively.
GL to all.
