FEHNERBACHE v g'birligi 12-1-0 , 1.33


Despite HAMBURG's 3-0 win against DORTMUND last week i have to side with W BREMEN here.

One can only assume that DORTMUND had not just one eye but both eye's firmly set on their CL game against ZENIT in midweek [won 4-2 in Russia] when losing 3-0 to a side who had previously lost their 4 Bundesliga games , conceding 13 and scoring only twice ]

BREMEN are 5-7-10 overall [3-3-4 at home] this season but when they play those in the bottom half of the league it becomes a more respectable 3-6-1 .

They have had 2 draws and a loss [5-1 thrashing to 3rd placed Dortmund] since the re-start and should be very hard to beat here against a side they have a good h2h record against .

Bet365 are offering 1.55 on the double chance 1 X .

It's hard to ignore the fact that LEVADIAKOS have an away record this season of 0-1-12 , scored 8 conceded 28 .
While the home side , XANTHI , have a decent home record of 7-1-4 , losses against the 1st ,2nd , 3rd and 7th in the league are to be not entirely unexpected for a regular mid-table side , and with the h2h record added to the mix i'm hoping my old friends at XANTHI can do me a favour and win at odds of 1.73 [Betvictor]


FEHNERBACHE sit atop of the league and are unbeaten at home this season , 9-2-0 drawing v the 3rd and 7th placed sides [G'BIRLIGI are in 14th]
FEHNER have had the advantage of not being involved in Europe this season .
GENCLERBIRLIGI are 2-1-7 away from home this season , with one of those wins coming v the team rooted at the bottom of the league .

Considering the league positions and h2h it's worth taking the 1.33 available from Bet365 imho.

STANDARD v mechelen 5-0-0 , odds 1.36

PANATHINAIKOS v aris 6-1-0 , 1.33

AZ ALKMAAR v heracles 7-0-0 , 1.55

PSV v utrecht 15-0-0 , 1.25

BRAGA v nacional 5-0-1 , 1.67

BASLE v st gallen 16-2-0 , 1.60

First wager of the weekend is a 10pt treble on PANATHINAIKOS / BASLE / PSV.

PSV's h2h record is strong enough in itself but when you include the fact that while Utrecht will have approx 5 out through injury and Van Der Maarel is suspended , PSV have a full squad to pick from .
UTRECHT have only won once , drawn once but lost 7 of their last 9 away league games.

While PANATHINAIKOS's recent home form has been near perfect [ 4-1-0 ] with a win against 2nd placed PAOK included , ARIS have been poor as PANA have been good [0-1-4] inc 2 loss's against teams in 14th and 16th.
They have conceded at least twice in 7 of their last 8 homes and have won once away from home in their last 19 attempts in the Super League.

Even allowing for the fact that the Swiss play each other twice home and away each season , BASLE's 16-2-0 at home to St Gallen is pretty impressive on it's own.
BASLE sit on top of the table , 13pts in front of their rivals in 7th .
They have won all 3 games at home since the re-start , 2 in the league [one of which was against 2nd placed Young Boys] and a 3-0 win in the Europa Cup.
This is in contrast to St GALLEN's form since the break ended , losing twice and drawing against the side one place below them in 8th [ in fact they have a record overall of 0-2-3 since the re-start ]

The odds from Betvictor are 1.25 / 1.30 / 1.60

TWENTE v alkmaar 5-0-1 , 1.53
BASEL v aarau 20-2-0 , 1.40


Despite the continued injury problems that have plagued DORTMUND most of the season they keep on winning with the only blip being that 3-0 loss to HAMBURG but i suspect they had one eye on the CL game away to ZENIT [ which they won 4-2 away from home]
M'GLADBACH on the other hand have been dropping points to BRAUNSCHWEIG , BREMEN and HANNOVER , all in the bottom half of the table.

The 1.40 on offer is just worth taking when taking the h2's into account along with league form.

The relegation battle between HERACLES and RODA is too close to call with both pretty woeful recently so i'll give that game a miss.

FULHAM look doomed imho , which is a pity as they used to be so strong at home even against the 'Big Boys'

Despite MAN U's latest 'revival' against WEST BROM i can't fancy them to beat the strongest LIVERPOOL side we've seen in years .

AC MILAN continue to under-achieve while PARMA are unbeaten in 15 games .

CLUB BRUGGE have won all 3 games played since the end of the winter break and are 6pts behind leaders STANDARD and need to keep the momentum going and will be seeking revenge for CERCLE knocking them out of the Cup last time they met in December.
CERCLE are traditionally the weaker of the 2 and have lost 9 of their 15 aways this season scoring only 8 and conceding 27 [They survive each season by their home form]

1.30 is on the limit of what usually take but worth an interest .

Despite the h2h it's hard to separate MECHELEN and CHARLEROI this season [12th and 13 on the same points] and without team news i'm thinking about leaving this one alone
*will come back to this if i find any significant team news.

The above also applies to the JABLONEC v OLOMOUC game.

TWENTE's home form has been their saviour so far with a record of 7-6-0 [3-1-0 since the re-start and came back from 2-0 down to earn a draw v Feyenoord and won v the 2nd and 11th placed sides] , on the neagtive side they will miss top scorer Castaignos for this game .
ALKMAAR have lost 9 of their 13 aways inc 3 from since the break.

TWENTE's home record give's them the edge so i'll take the 1.50 on offer .

Despite last weeks abberation i'm willing to ignore the result against St Gallen and go for BASEL to return to winning ways against AARAU.
BASLE remain top of the Swiss Super League , 17pts above AARAU in 8th.
Despite the fact they face SALZBURG in the 2nd leg of their Europa Cup tie on Thursday i don't think they will play a weakend side here as there are 3 sides chasing them for the title and all 3 are on 40pts , only 5pts behind BASEL.
AARAU did win their last 2 aways but they were against the 2 sides below them in the table.

1.40 for BASEL to retain that 5pts gap.

Bet 1 of the weekend is a 10pt acca DORTMUND / CLUB BRUGGE / TWENTE / BASEL

This is basically an exercise in discipline for myself as the bets posted here will be my only football bets with real money on ...i really need to stick to this...so with h2h's the backbone here goes for 2014/15

Sat 12.45 - SPL - CELTIC v aberdeen - 27-2-0. Now that the distraction of European qualifiers is out of the way i fully expect Celtic to start a run which will probably see them crowned Champions before the end of February !!
They have skipper Scott Brown back from injury while Aberdeen will miss full-back Robertson , but it's that stunning h2h record that makes the home win a bet in itself , esp at the generous [imho] of 1.50

Stake 10pts @ 1.50 from Paddy Power.

Next up is BARCELONA v ath bilbao [ko 15.00] and BARCA have won the last 10/10 at home against the Basques .
The front line of Messi ,Neymar and Pedro should ensure that the home side will score more than the visitors will and the 1.33 looks a good bet to me.

If Celtic win then the returns go straight onto the home win , if not then it's 10pts on 1.33 from Betvictor.

Bundesliga 17.30 - MOENCHENGLADBACH have won 5 of the last 6 at home to Schalke .
Both sides have yet to register a win but the h2h coupled with the fact that Schalke will be facing an away trip to Chelsea in the CL mid-week as well as having a good few out injured [Borrusia should have Max Kruse back ] suggest's to me that while the home win look's a good bet , but at the odds on offer the D-N-B option is the one to take @ 1.70 from Betvictor.

If the first 2 games have gone to plan then it's 10pts on the D-N-B

SCHALKE v frankfurt 5-1-0 , 1.70

XANTHI v levadiakos 6-1-0 , 2.00

ATLETICO PR v internacional 5-1-0 , 2.70


just one bet stands out for me today ..

Greece - 14:00 - XANTHI v levadiakos has finished a home win in 6 of the last 7 corresponding fixtures.

Only 3 games played in the Superleague with both XANTHI and Levadiakos sitting on 2pts [ 0-2-1 ] .This will be XANTHI's 2nd home game [0-0 1st home game] while LEVADIAKOS have played only 1 away [3-2 defeat ]

LEVADIAKOS never won an away game last season 0-1-16 [scored 12 , conceded 41] .

Unfortunately i can't find any team news and that pulls me back from going for the straight home win instead i'll take the safe option of D-N-B of 1.47 from Betvictor .

Stake the 17pts returned from last weeks G'LADBACH win onto XANTHI @ 1.47

2-0 XANTHI returned 24.99pts.

Turkey - 18:00 - FEHNERBACHE v g'tepspor . FEHNER have won 14 of the last 16 corresponding fixtures and are undefeated in their last 24 homes games in the Super Lig.
FEHNER will miss their 1st choice keeper and have a couple doubtful .

G'TEPSPOR have failed to 10 of their last 11 aways in the league , they only won 5 of 17 away games last season.

FEHNERBACHE's impressive home record both in this fixture and in the Super Lig can see them pick up 3pts despite injury doubts .

Stake 10pts @ 1.33


France - 20:00 - PSG v lyon - 5-1-0 is the home side's record in this fixture since Nov 2008. PSG are unbeaten in 32 of the past 33 home games in the League and have also managed to keep a clean sheet in 10 of the last 11 homes.
Although they have had 3 draws away from home they do seem to be as strong as ever in Paris , 2-0-0 , scored 7 conceded 0.
The only missing for PSG will be Thiago Silva while LYON will have 2/3 out injured .

I have read elsewhere that LYON fans are boycotting this game in protest at tickets prices so if that happens it won't help the away side .

Usual rules of staking apply , if FEHNERBACHE win then the 13.30pts returned are placed on this game at odds of 1.33 PSG to win .
If no returns then it's a straight 10pt win @ 1.33

FEHNERBACHE 1-0

The 3rd single for today kicks-off over in Brazil at 22:30 and that's the match between SANTOS and Figueirense in which the home side a record of 7-0-1 .
SANTOS have been winning at HT / FT in 8 of the 9 last meetings with Figueirense in all Comps .

This season SANTOS[9th in league] 6-3-2 at home , all dropped points were against sides in the top half of the table , Figueirense are currently 13th of 20 .
SANTOS have no new injuries to contend with , Figueirense have lost regular defender CERECEDA with a broken rib .

If PSG win then the returns of 17.69 will go onto SANTOS to win @ 1.66 with Corals
