# Newcastle Win (-138) vs QPR $1380,00 to win $1000,00
After having a bad strech, Newcastle have now found back to the good form that they had to start the season after going 3-0-1 in their last 4 (both cup and league) including a solid 3-1 win at home to Man Utd.
For QPR things isn't looking good and after losing 4 of their last 6 and not winning any of them, the QPR board had enough after a poor 1-1 showing against MK Dons in the cup and hired Hughes.
Usualy, teams that gets a new manager gets a good effect, but that's not been the case for the teams Hughes have taken over as he historicly have needed time to get teams going again..
Newcastle will be without two important players in Tiote and Demba Ba, but it's even worse for QPR who will be without their captain in Barton and also Faurlin, Taarabt and Traore.
With all those players missing from the midfield for QPR and Newcasltes recent form, I expect them to overcome the loss of Demba Ba and Tiote in this one and get the win..
Newcastle 2 QPR 0
# Swansea NTL (+108) vs Arsenal $1000,00 to win $1080,00
In 10 home matches this season, Swansea have only lost once (0-1 vs Man Utd). Since that loss they've gone 1-3-0 including a 1-1 draw vs Spurs.
Arsenal have done well recently when it comes to picking up points, but a 1-0 win in the cup against Leeds with their best 11 where Henry became the match winner in the 82nd min and a narrow 1-0 win at home against QPR isn't impressive, neither is their 1-1 draw at home to Wolves.
Also, Arsenal have a ton of injuries on defense, something that have forced him to look for defenders on the transfer market as not only is his starting defenders injuried, but also the reserves...
Swansea have been a solid home team for years and it was something I expected them to be in the PL as well (that's why I expected them to avoid relegation) and gives every team they face a good fight for the points.
That combind with Arsenals not to impressive play as of late and the injuries to their defense, I like Swansea to get a point here..
Swansea 1 Arsenal 1
# Atalanta NTL (+105) at Lazio $1052,63 to win $1000,00
Lazio have had a though start to the year with a 0-4 loss at Siena and had to fight hard to beat the Serie B side Verona in the Coppa in a 3-2 win.
They find themself 4th in the league, but their home record at 3-4-2 isn't better than 15th in the league and they've won only 1 of their last 4 home matches in the league (vs Novara) and is 1-2-1 in that strech..
Atalanta is coming off a 0-2 home loss against AC Milan, but had not lost in their last 7 before that.
In their last 6 on the road, they post a 1-3-2 record with the losses coming against Roma and Bologna and on the season they got a solid 2-4-2 record on the road, good enough for 8th in the league.
Lazio realy want 3 pts here with the two Milano teams facing of later, but I think Atalanta fight them to a draw here..
Lazio 0 Atalanta 0
# Parma Win (+110) vs Siena $1000,00 to win $1100,00
Parma with a dissapointing season so far, something that forced them to make a coaching change as their fired Colomba and hired Donadoni, previous coach of both Napoli and Italy.
This is a big match for both teams as they try to get a bigger distance away from the relegation zone.
Parma got a decent 4-3-2 record at home with the losses coming against Roma and Atalanta and with their most impressive win coming against Udinese at the end of November.
Their unbeaten in their last 5 home matches in league play with a 2-3-0 record, but the last 3 have all been draws and came against not to good opponents in Catania, Lecce and Palermo who isn't a good road team.
With that said, their up against a realy bad road team here in Siena.
In 8 tries, Siena have yet to get a win on the road and is 4th worst in the league with a 0-4-4 record where they've only scored 3 goals.
A big match for both teams, but especialy for Parma and with the coaching change along with Parma having much more quality than Siena should give them a narrow win..
Parma 1 Siena 0
# Villareal NTL (+115) at Atl. Madrid $500,00 to win $575,00
