08-20-16 | Helsingborgs IF v. Kalmar | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 1 m | Show | |
On Saturday and Sunday there are hundreds of soccer game to choose from and the time taken to analyse, research and choose the best picks is lengthy, therefore the written previews are shorter than usual, however, be assured that every single pick is fully analysed and researched and published with total confidence. Helsingborg v Kalmar This game has all the hallmarks of a draw waiting to happen. Both sides are poor, Helsingborg are in woeful form and Kalmar have hit a run of bad results as well. Only three points separates these two and both have a relegation dog fight to look forward to. Helsingborg have home advantage but that is negated by the fact that their form is poorer than Kalmar, though not by much. Bottom line is that I cannot make a case for either team to claim all three points and the draw looks the value pick. Take the draw. |

08-19-16 | Southampton v. Manchester United OVER 2.5 | 0-2 | Loss | -116 | 5 h 24 m | Show | |
This one is quite simple for me really, I expect Man Utd to win, however, I also expect Southampton to score, therefore it is overs for me. United are clearly more organised under Mourinho, but they remain vulnerable in defence. Southampton are a solid outfit and even though they are under new management and had a change in playing personnel I still expect them to be a hard team to beat, they are dangerous coming forward and can defend when up against good opposition. This is only the second game of the Premier League season and there are still some issues to be ironed out for both sides, but United should win this one, but not keep a clean sheet. Take overs. |
|||||||
08-18-16 | West Ham United v. FC Astra Giurgiu +0.5 | 1-1 | Win | 115 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
West Ham are not the best travellers in Europe, last season they got dumped after losing their away game and this season they open up their Europa League campaign with a loss. The Hammers also lost this week against Chelsea on the road, ok, it was Chelsea, however, the performance from West Ham was not exactly inspiring. That said, they are playing inferior opposition in Astra, they really should win, but I simply cannot ignore the current form and their road form in Europe. Additionally, the Romanians won their last game 3-1 at home and do come into this game with a semblance of confidence. All things considered I am going for the home side to win or draw this one. |
|||||||
08-18-16 | Gabala +110 v. Maribor | 3-1 | Win | 110 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
Having watched both these teams in the last round I am going for a home win in this one. Maribor were lucky to beat Aberdeen and the Scottish side is very poor, whereas Qabala beat French outfit Lille, that alone tells you the difference. Qabala are very string at home and I am of the opinion they are a better team than Maribor. I actually expect the home side to win by a good couple of goals and it is unfortunate that there is not a higher handicap available at better odds. Take the home win here |
|||||||
08-18-16 | Rosenborg Trondheim v. FK Austria Wien +150 | 1-2 | Win | 150 | 4 h 51 m | Show | |
Tricky one this but I do expect the home team to come out on top. Rosenborg got dumped out of the Champions League by APOEL, in all fairness the goals were all scored near the end of the game and at one point it did seem that Rosenborg would make it, additionally, they are doing very well domestically, however, I am of the opinion that the Austrians are the better side, especially with home advantage. It is also not helpful that Wein have had a couple of poor games domestically, but I am confident they can bounce back today and claim the win. Will be a good game but for me the home advantage and the fact that Austrian football is better than Norwegian football domestically will ensure a home win. |
|||||||
08-15-16 | West Ham United v. Chelsea | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
Chelsea v West Ham United I would not be surprised to see this game end in a draw. Chelsea have home advantage, however, that is negated by the fact that West Ham have already played a couple of competitive games in the Europa League. Additionally, Chelsea have a new manager and there will be some transition to take place, whereas West Ham in comparison are more stable. That said, you cannot ignore the fact that Chelsea have the better squad on paper, but that did not stop West Ham finishing higher than them last season. First games of the season are not always played to form, some teams take time to get into their groove and it is the great unknown whether Chelsea or West Ham immediately find their groove in their very first game of the season. It would be no real surprise to see Chelsea win outright, but then it would be no less a surprise to see them lose. In better words, it is very difficult to judge how these two will perform tonight, again, first games of the season are notorious to predict. Even so, I still believe that a draw has as good a chance of being the result on 90 minutes than any other result and the value is with the draw. I will be backing the draw in this one. |
|||||||
08-15-16 | Ostersunds FK v. Jonkopings Sodra | 1-1 | Win | 235 | 3 h 20 m | Show | |
Jonkopings Sodra v Ostersunds FK Interesting match up between two teams that are very evenly matched. Both these sides were promoted last season with just a point separating them and this season both sit mid table with just a single point separating them. Their heads to heads results have generally been close affairs with single goal wins or draws, only once in the last few years has there been more than two goals when they have played each other. Both come into this game following very convincing wins and both have confidence, in better words there is almost nothing to separate these two. Jonkopings have a slight advantage because they are at home, but in all fairness that advantage is very slim. I would have done this game under 2.5 goals if that option was available, but it is not, however, I am just as convinced that this game will be a draw, a low scoring draw and that is my pick. Take the draw |
|||||||
08-14-16 | Stabaek IF +0.5 v. Viking FK | 2-2 | Win | 111 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
Viking v Stabaek I fancy Stabaek to spring a little surprise here and hold Viking to at least a draw. Form counts and Stabaek are unbeaten in their last four games in the league while Viking have lost their two most recent games. Now, Viking are probably the better team, but their form is not showing that and it is wrong just to back a team because of their perceived superiority when results show the opposite. I am not saying that Stabaek will win, what I am saying is that I think there is more chance of a draw or Stabaek winning than I am in a Viking win and will be backing Stabaek on the handicap. Stabaek +0.5 |
|||||||
08-14-16 | Viking v. Stabaek | 2-2 | Win | 282 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
Viking v Stabaek I fancy Stabaek to spring a little surprise here and hold Viking to at least a draw. Form counts and Stabaek are unbeaten in their last four games in the league while Viking have lost their two most recent games. Now, Viking are probably the better team, but their form is not showing that and it is wrong just to back a team because of their perceived superiority when results show the opposite. I am not saying that Stabaek will win, what I am saying is that I think there is more chance of a draw or Stabaek winning than I am in a Viking win and will be backing Stabaek on the handicap. Take a chance on the draw |
|||||||
08-14-16 | Tromso IL v. FK Haugesund OVER 2.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 8 m | Show | |
Haugesund v Tromso Tricky game this one, both sides have been doing well home and away respectively. Tromso have been putting some decent away wins together recently while Haugesund have been doing what is required at home in the main and overall it is hard to separate them. That said, I do see goals in this game and while I am struggling to find a winner I am very confident that we will see goals in this one. I am not too happy with the odds but that reflects the likelihood of this game being over 2.5 goals and I agree with that sentiment. Take over 2.5 goals |
|||||||
08-14-16 | IK Start +1.5 v. Stromsgodset | 1-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
Stromsgodset v Start Stromgodset have been given a huge start in this by the handicapper and I am not sure it is justified. Start are woeful I admit but Stromgodset have been woeful recently and they are on a poor run of form as well, they may well win this, but to win by at least two goals I do find a bit of a stretch. Start do lose by two goals or more on the odd occasion, but not every game and in their last six away games they have not once lost by two or more goals. Stromgodset do well at home I admit, but they have not won in their last three league games and the chances are they will be happy with a win by a single goal and not risk going all out for a ton of goals. All things considered I am taking Start +1.5 |
|||||||
08-14-16 | Liverpool v. Arsenal OVER 2.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 12 m | Show | |
Arsenal v Liverpool Difficult start for both sides, however, that does not mean that there is not a good pick to have in this game. It is hard to pick an outright winner, either team can potentially win this one, both have injuries, both have new players to integrate and both are under pressure to get off to a quick start, the truth is that it is a bit of a lottery to pick an outright winner in this one. That said, I do believe there will be goals in an open entertaining game and I will be backing overs in this one. |
|||||||
08-14-16 | AZ Alkmaar +1.5 v. PSV Eindhoven | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 56 m | Show | |
PSV v AZ When analysing today's game this one stood out, the reason is that I feel that the handicap has been set too high for PSV to overcome. PSV should win this one, they are at home and are one of Hollands best sides, however AZ are no walkovers and giving PSV a 1.5 start does seem a little big, basically means they have to win by two clear goals and while a win for PSV is expected I am not sure it will be by a huge margin. Take AZ + 1.5 |
|||||||
08-14-16 | Aalesund +250 v. Molde | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 39 m | Show | |
Aalesund v Molde Molde finally won a game last week but I am not sure that means they have finally turned the corner on a bad run of results. Molde are far better than their recent results have shown, but form is everything and until they put a few wins together, one cannot back them with any real confidence. Aalesund are not in bad form, they have won their last two games and are showing signs of consistency, but they are not world beaters, but they are at home and they are on a mini run. I am going for the home side to sneak a win, I am simply not convinced that Molde are back to their best while Aalesund recent run I find more convincing. Aalesund to win |
|||||||
08-14-16 | Malmö FF v. Kalmar FF | 1-1 | Win | 265 | 1 h 3 m | Show | |
Kalmar v Malmö FF I fancy the draw in this one and that is the result I will be backing today. Malmo are the better team, there is no denying that, but Kalmar have been very string at home recently, they are unbeaten in their last five home games and that includes a draw against AIK, one of Sweden's top teams. Malmo have been impressive away from home I admit, they have won three of their last four road game, however, they do occasionally struggle on the road and against a team in form I am fairly sure they would be happy with a point from this game. Of course they will want the win and will go for it but come 90 minutes and the game is all square, they will be content with that. All things considered I am going for a draw. |
|||||||
08-14-16 | Manchester United v. AFC Bournemouth OVER 2.5 | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 1 h 43 m | Show | |
AFC Bournemouth v Manchester United Tricky start for Man Utd, it would be wrong to assume that this is a given for United, it is not. Bournemouth can cause United problems and time will tell how quickly Mourinho can get the best from his players. It must be noted that this United side is still mainly the side that did poorly last season, yes there are some new signings but probably too early to see how much of a difference they will make. Bournemouth showed they can be competitive last season and will make it very difficult for United today, they may not actually win, but I do feel they will score at least once in front of their home fans. All things considered I am going for overs in this one, I can see Bournemouth scoring and a United win would be no real surprise, though a Bournemouth win would not surprise me either. |
|||||||
08-13-16 | Sunderland v. Manchester City -1.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -137 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
Man City v Sunderland I fully expect Man City to get off to a very good start today against a very limited Sunderland side. Both cubs have new managers but that is where any sense of similarity ends between these two sides. David Moyes is probably a good appointment following Sam Allardyce taking over the management of England, but he has his work cut out against City today, he simply does not have a squad with the quality to compete with the top sides, they barely survived relegation last season and the chances are they will spend the season attempting to avoid relegation once again. City are a squad full of immense talent and with Pep Guardiola now in charge they are the favourites to win the Premier League this season and they will be going full speed ahead today to get their campaign off to the best possible start. The handicap has been set quite high, but I am very confident that City will overcome it, they are far superior to Sunderland in every area, there is not one position that Sunderland are as good as City and that will be exposed today I am certain. Take City to win this one by at least a couple of goals. |
|||||||
08-13-16 | SK Brann v. Valerenga IF +128 | 2-3 | Win | 128 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
VÃ¥lerenga v Brann Very interesting game between resurgent Valerenga and high flying Brann. I will be backing Valerenga to continue their fine recent form and to grab the win over third placed Brann today. Valerenga had an awful start to the season, they could not buy a win, but they have finally turned their form around, they are on a four game unbeaten run, winning their last three games and they will feel confident that they can continue that run against Brann today. Brann are also in great form, in fact, apart from league leaders Rosenborg they have the best recent form in the league, however, their away form is not as good as it appears. In their last road game Brann beat Odd, however that was their first road win in their last six away games, a sequence that has seen them lose four times and draw once, in better words, they are nowhere near as formidable away from home than they are at home, in fact they are quite poor recently. On paper Brann are favourites to win this one, but I am confident that Valerenga will spring a surprise and grab all three points, they are in good form and Brann are not that good away. |
|||||||
08-13-16 | Tottenham Hotspur +136 v. Everton | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 39 m | Show | |
Everton v Tottenham I will be backing Tottenham to grab the win away to Everton this afternoon. Tottenham did brilliant last season, their season collapsed at the end but that does not negate the season they had, compare that to the season that Everton had and the difference is plain to see. That said, it would be folly to take what happened last season as a definitive guide to what will happen this season, for starters Everton have a new manager and it is hard to believe that they will have as poor a season this as they did last season, but they are up against a very good side in Tottenham. Tottenham have strengthened in the right areas, they have bought a solid midfielder in Victor Wanayama and a top striker in Vincent Janssen, both are expected to start today, whereas Everton have lost defender John Stones to Man City and have not brought in the same calibre of player as what Spurs have. Tottenham showed in their pre-season friendlies that they are in good shape, their 6-1 demolition of Inter Milan proves that and while this will be a close game, they usualy are between these two, I do expect Tottenham to emerge the winners after 90 minutes, they simply have the better players and that is the difference. Tottenham to win. |
|||||||
08-13-16 | Bodo/Glimt -102 v. Lillestrom | 1-1 | Loss | -102 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
Bodø / Glimt v Lillestrøm Two quite poor teams from Norway will meet today in a game that is basically a relegation battle and it is the home side that I see coming out on top. Bodo/Glimt are in better form than Lillestrom at the moment and that is critical in these sort of games as momentum and confidence play a large part with teams in a relegation dog fight. Lillestrom have lost seven of their last nine games and five of their last six away games, drawing the other, what ever way you dress it up, that is rank poor form. Bodo/Glimt are not much better I admit, but they are at home and have done better over the last six games, amassing eight points compared to four points for Lillestrom. Bottom line is that I simply cannot see Lillestrom winning this game and that Bodo/Glimt better recent form and home advantage will be enough to secure the win. |
|||||||
08-13-16 | Leicester -113 v. Hull City | 1-2 | Loss | -113 | 3 h 22 m | Show | |
Hull City v Leicester City It is very hard not to see anything but a Leicester City win at Hull today. Leicester have the advantage of already having played a competitive fixture against Man Utd last week and that will do them the world of good today, even though they ended up losing to United. Hull are in disarray, the club is up for sale, they have lost their manager and have not bought anyone of any real significance, they are still a championship league side basically. Whatever way I look at this it is an away win for the Foxes who I fully expect to get their defence of the Premier League off to a winning side. |
|||||||
08-12-16 | Nottingham Forest v. Brighton & Hove Albion -133 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 9 m | Show | |
Brighton v Nottingham Forest Games between these two tend to be tight affairs and I see that being no different this evening. Brighton held Derby County to 0-0 last week and that is a credible result away from home, Forest got their season off to a flyer with a 4-3 win over Burton Albion and so both teams will enter this game full of confidence. It is so important to get the season off to a positive start and that is exactly what both sides have done, however a loss for either side this evening in the UK would derail those positive starts and both teams will be looking not to lose this game. Brighton are deserved favourites, they are at home and they were very unlucky not to be promoted last season and they will expect to take all three points today and I agree with that confidence. Forest I am sure will put up a good show and I do expect a tight game, I was actually tempted to go for the under's on this one, but in the end I have come to the conclusion that the best pick is for a home win. Take Brighton to win a tight game |
|||||||
08-11-16 | Rosenborg BK v. Viking FK +0.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 19 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Rosenborg are a funny side to gauge, they are clearly the best team in Norway, however, they can be complacent, they raced into a 4-0 lead last week against Lillestrom and ending up winning 4-3, that is typical of Rosenborg. Prior to that win against Lillestrom, Rosenborg had drawn their three previous away games and while they are dominant at home they are susceptible to dropping points on the road. Viking at home are inconsistent, they have won three, drawn two and lost three, however, they do raise their game against Rosenborg, they have won and drawn more often at home against Rosenborg than they have lost. Viking are not a hopeless side, a win today would lift them to 5th and just four points behind second place, so they remain competitive in the league and did win way against Sogndal last week, a game I watched and I thought they were quite impressive in that win. Rosenborg are the better team, but they are away and Viking are capable of either winning this or grabbing a draw and I will take the home side to cover the spread. |
|||||||
08-10-16 | BK Haecken v. IFK Norrkoeping -108 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 1 h 33 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. 2nd v 5th in the Swedish Allsvenskan and I am going with the home side to collect all three points. Both sides are in good form at the moment and for me the only real advantage is for Norrkoping because they are playing at home. Though it must also be pointed out that Norrkoping have won seven from nine at home and drawn the other two, whereas Hacken have won just three times away from home all season. I expect this to be a close game and for the home side to scrape the win. |
|||||||
08-08-16 | IFK Goteborg +149 v. Djurgardens IF | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 48 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. On paper Goteborg should win this one and I am also convinced that they will emerge the victors after ninety minutes. Djurgarden are not that formidable at home, they have lost their last two home fixtures and overall this season have lost four from seven home games. Goteborg sit fourth in the standings, have lost just twice away from home and are on a seven match unbeaten run. It is hard for me to see how Djurgarden can get anything from this game, they are not on form while Goteborg are and I do not see that changing today. Goteborg to win |
|||||||
08-08-16 | AGF Aarhus v. Esbjerg fB | 2-2 | Win | 276 | 3 h 35 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Esbjerg have got off to an awful start in the Danish season losing their first three games, however, those losses included two away defeats to two of Denmark's best teams and they did improve in-their last game against Viborg despite losing 2-1. AGF have got off to a better start with two opening wins, however, they lost their last game at home to Randers 2-1. Basically, there is not that much that separates these two teams, AGF may hold a slight advantage but that is negated by Esbjerg being at home and for me these are two very evenly matched teams. In conclusion, I see this game finishing as a draw. |
|||||||
08-07-16 | Portland Timbers +115 v. Sporting Kansas City | 3-0 | Win | 115 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I am taking Portland to win this one. Portland lost at home to LA Galaxy last time out, however, LA were in a rich vein of form and that was the Timbers first home defeat in quite a while, they had won four of their previous five at home, drawing the other one. Kansas have not won away in their last nine home games, they have lost six and drawn three, there is very little to suggest that will change this evening. All things considered I am going for a clear home win. |
|||||||
08-07-16 | Viking FK v. Sogndal IL -0.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 53 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I am a little surprised at the odds on Sogndal, I thought they would be a lot lower, however, I am not going to complain and will gladly accept the generosity of the sportsbooks. There is very little to separate these teams in the league, however Sogndal are quite strong at home while Viking are inconsistent away and based on current form I am going with the home side to take all three points. |
|||||||
08-07-16 | Odds BK -1 v. IK Start | 2-1 | Push | 0 | 3 h 50 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. It is quite a big handicap for an away side to overcome, however, I am very confident that Odd will do just that today. Start are woeful, they are bottom of the table for a reason, they have just seven points from a possible 54 and that alone should show you how poor they are. Odd are second in the table and the gulf between these two sides is immense, I would be very surprised if Odd do not win this one and win it by at least a couple of goals. |
|||||||
08-07-16 | Stromsgodset v. SK Brann +124 | 0-1 | Win | 124 | 3 h 44 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I like the look of Brann in this one, they have won their last seven home games on the bounce and even though it is just goal difference that separates these two in the league I am confident that the home side will bag all three points. Stromgodset away form has been their Achilles heel this season, they have lost three of their last four road games and I struggle to see them getting the better of Brann today. |
|||||||
08-07-16 | Valerenga IF v. Sarpsborg 08 OVER 3 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 42 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I see goals in this game between these two. Valerenga are better than their league position suggests and they appear to be finding some momentum recently, they certainly know how to score as their last couple of results show. Sarpsborg have also been involved in some high scoring games recently and they will feel confident that they can breach the Valerenga defence, should be an exciting encounter this one. Take over 3 goals |
|||||||
08-07-16 | Manchester United -104 v. Leicester | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Too often last season I lost due to Leicester City, but at least I can take comfort in the fact that I was not the only one that suffered at the hands of the Foxes. Another team that cost me last season was Man Utd, again I was in good company as they under performed significantly and burnt quite a few fingers in the process. That said, things are different now, Leciester have been weakened, they are not as harmonious as last season, Kante has gone and Mahrez wants to leave, whereas Man Utd have a new world class manager, some top signings and the signs are that they will be a force this season. I am confident, based on the circumstances, that United will win this one. |
|||||||
08-07-16 | FK Haugesund v. Stabaek IF +110 | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 10 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Stabaek have been improving recently, they are now on a four game unbeaten run which includes draws against the third and fourth sides in the league, they may well be second bottom but they are at last getting their act together. Haugesund have lost their last two games including a 6-0 thrashing against Rosenborg, their confidence has been hit and this game presents a great chance for Stabaek to extend their unbeaten run and claim all three points. |
|||||||
08-07-16 | BK Haecken v. IF Elfsborg | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 51 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I like the look of the draw in this one, very little separates the two sides in the table, just a single point and recently both have been drawing their games, if both teams play to form then a draw is the most likely outcome. Take the draw |
|||||||
08-06-16 | DC United +117 v. Philadelphia Union | 2-2 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I like the look of DC United in this one and expect them to claim all three points against Philadelphia Union tonight. These two are not in good form at the moment, they are both struggling for momentum and any advantage that is presented could make the difference and in this game DC have the advantage of being at home. Philadelphia have not won away from home since March, that was nine road games ago, they have lost their last three away MLS games on the bounce and there is no reason to see that changing tonight. DC United are not the most consistent at home, but they have beaten the likes of the Red Bulls at home and are certainly a better home side than what Philadelphia are away. Home win for me |
|||||||
08-06-16 | Lillestrom v. Rosenborg | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. It is really easy to pick Rosenborg to win this one, but I am not at all confident that they will, in fact I believe there is more chance of a draw than an away win. Rosenborg are the best side in Norway without a doubt, they are already six points clear at the top and a win here today would see them go nine points clear, but the truth is that Rosenborg are vulnerable away from home and are top because of their dominant home form. Rosenborg have drawn four of their last five away league games against all sorts of different opponents, basically they are struggling to break teams down on their travels. Lillestrom are not a good team and their home record is poor, however, they have beaten the teams in third and fourth at home recently and while I do not think they will do that to Rosenborg I do think they will raise themselves for this game, that is what appears to be happening when Lillestrom host the better sides, they perform far better. I will go with the draw, it represents very good value. |

08-06-16 | Ostersunds FK v. Sundsvall | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 13 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I see this one ending in a draw come 90 minutes. Only two points separate these two after 16 games and while Ostersunds are fairly strong at home they did lose against Sundsvall 5-0 back in May. Ostersunds are better than that result and at home will feel confident they can avenge that loss, but Sundsvall have that psychological advantage and the chances are that these two will be far more evenly matched today than back in May. All things considered I am going for the draw in this one. |

08-06-16 | Jonkopings Sodra +141 v. Falkenbergs | 5-0 | Win | 141 | 3 h 5 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I really do like Jonkopings Sodra, they play very positive football and this has been reflected in their results, which has seen them currently in 11th position, not bad for a promoted team. Falkenberg are woeful, they are rock bottom with just 8 points from a possible 48, they have won just once from eight home games and lost the other seven, including the last five on the bounce. All things considered I am going for an away win. |
|||||||
08-05-16 | Fulham v. Newcastle United OVER 2.5 | 1-0 | Loss | -113 | 4 h 54 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. First game of the season for these two and on paper you would have to say that Newcastle look a good thing, but you cannot go by that when it is the first game, no one has a clue how the new transfer signings will fit in and you cannot use pre season friendlies as any sort of guide as they are notoriously unreliable. But, that does not mean that there is not a pick to be had, there is, it is on the overs market. The reasoning is simple, defences are vulnerable at the start of the season, they tend to be new and both these teams can score goals, basically it is a case of vulnerable defences against half decent forwards. Take overs |
|||||||
08-05-16 | Gefle IF v. Helsingborgs IF OVER 3 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 3 h 45 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. The overs has been set quite high in this, however, it is justified. These two teams are awful, Helsingborg cannot buy a home win recently and Gefle have no idea what a win looks like on the road. That said, both teams are generally involved in games that have goals in them, Helsingborg have had 28 goals in their eight games at home and Gefle have had 21 goals in their seven away games, in better words both teams have had an average of three or more goals per game. Take the overs |
|||||||
08-05-16 | Aalesunds FK v. Tromso IL | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 29 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I like the look of the draw in this one. I know that Tromso are favourites and that Aalesunds are poor away, but if you look closer there is every reason to think a draw has a good chance here. Tromso have not won at home in their last four league games, in fact they have won just twice all season at home. Aalesunds have won just once on the road this season but they have had a couple of very good results recently at home and against a team that is poor at home they will feel that they can get something from this game, I share that belief. Take the draw |
|||||||
08-04-16 | Maribor +115 v. Aberdeen | 1-0 | Win | 115 | 5 h 20 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I do not rate Scottish football at the moment, Celtic were very lucky to progress last night in the Champions League and Hearts were humiliated in the last round against a team from Malta, now we have Aberdeen going to Slovenia needing either a high score draw or a win to progress, I simply do not see that happening and fully expect the home team to beat the Scots. |
|||||||
08-04-16 | Panathinaikos v. AIK +205 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 12 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Swedish outfit AIK lost the first leg 1-0 in Greece and will be confident that they will be able to beat Panathinaikos in the return leg. I share that confidence, however, I am not convinced that AIK will progress, they may win on the night, but the chances are they will fail to qualify, probably due to an away goal. Take AIK to win the game. |
|||||||
08-04-16 | Dinamo Minsk +160 v. Vojvodina | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. The first leg ended 1-1 in Serbia and now that the second leg is back in Belarussia I am confident that Dinamo Minsk will make home advantage tell and win the game and progress to the next round of the Europa League. |
|||||||
08-04-16 | HJK Helsinki v. IFK Goteborg +129 | 0-2 | Win | 129 | 3 h 17 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. HJK surprisingly won the first leg in Sweden and have the advantage going into this second leg of the Europa League, however, Goteborg are the better team and will be wound up to put things right in Finland today. I am taking Goteborg to overcome the first leg deficit and defeat the home side. |
|||||||
08-03-16 | AS Monaco v. Fenerbahce | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 54 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Fenerbahce won the first leg narrowly 2-1 and Monaco need only a 1-0 win to progress, of course the Turkish side need just a draw, however, I am very confident that Monaco will win this game and either progress or force the game into extra time. |
|||||||
08-03-16 | Anderlecht v. FC Rostov | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 51 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. The first leg between these two finished 2-2 in Russia and I believe that the second leg will have the same sort of outcome, namely a draw. that advantage does lie with Anderlecht but they would be happy with a 0-0 or 1-1 draw as that will see them progress, in better words the Belgium's will play for a draw and I am not convinced that the Russians are good enough to force a win. |
|||||||
08-03-16 | PAOK v. Ajax Amsterdam | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 34 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Ajax are not the team they were years ago and it is no surprise to see them draw at home and now need a win away to qualify for the next stage, that said, PAOK are not world beaters either and I am more confident in another draw between these two as opposed to either of them emerging victorious come 90 minutes. |
|||||||
08-03-16 | Young Boys Bern +275 v. Shakhtar Donetsk | 2-0 | Win | 275 | 3 h 16 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Young Boys lost the first leg 2-0 and have a mountain to climb if they want to qualify for the next stage, they will be full on attack mode throughout the game and I expect them to sneak a win, however I do not see them progressing, Shakhtar have too big a lead and will be defensive minded, they are hardly going to attack when they are away and sitting on a two goal lead. |
|||||||
08-03-16 | Hapoel Beer Sheva +295 v. Olympiacos | 1-0 | Win | 295 | 3 h 13 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. The first leg between these two finished without either team scoring, it showed how organised Hapoel are and I expect them to maintain that organisation and to claim a narrow win. |
|||||||
08-03-16 | Steaua Bucharesti +169 v. AC Sparta Prague | 2-0 | Win | 169 | 3 h 44 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. A draw is all Steaua need to progress but I cannot see them going for a 0-0 here, they will be conservative and try to keep a clean sheet, but they are at home, they know they are probably better than Sparta Prague and they will want to put a cushion between themselves and the Czech side. I am very confident that Steaua will win. |
|||||||
08-02-16 | Dundalk v. BATE Borisov OVER 2.5 | 3-0 | Win | 135 | 4 h 35 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I actually see goals in this game, Dundalk like goals it seems and BATE are not immune to high scoring games either, this is a second leg of a European tie and the circumstances lend me to believe that we will see at least 3 goals scored. |
|||||||
08-02-16 | Ludogorets v. FK Crvena Zvezda +150 | 2-2 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 58 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I was a little surprised on the odds for Crvena Zvezda, I expected them to be a lot shorter and will happily help myself to the generous odds on them winning. |
|||||||
08-02-16 | Apoel Nicosia +145 v. Rosenborg | 3-0 | Win | 145 | 2 h 32 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I would have liked Rosenborg to qualify for the next round of the Champions League, but unfortunately I cannot see that happening and take the Cypriot outfit to get the win in front of their home fans. |
|||||||
08-02-16 | Dinamo Tbilisi +228 v. Dinamo Zagreb | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 30 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Dinamo Tbilisi have to overcome a two goal deficit from the first leg, I am not sure that they can do that but I am confident that they will get the win in this leg in front of their own fans. |
|||||||
08-02-16 | Qarabag FK +185 v. FC Viktoria Plzen | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I am confident that Qarabag will kick on and win this game and qualify for the next stage of the Champions League. |
|||||||
08-01-16 | Odense Boldklub v. AALBORG BK +110 | 2-2 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 21 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. This will be a tight game but I do expect Aalborg to come out on top and get all three points against Odense. |
|||||||
08-01-16 | Valerenga +176 v. Molde | 3-0 | Win | 176 | 1 h 19 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Molde are in free fall at the moment and are very beatable at this time, Valerenga are having an awful season and these are the sort of games they must take advantage of, I am going for Valerenga to win this. |
|||||||
08-01-16 | Malmö FF v. Oerebro SK | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 17 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Two evenly matched teams and a very close game is expected, a draw looks the value pick here and that is what I will be backing. |
|||||||
08-01-16 | Kalmar +115 v. Djurgarden | 2-1 | Win | 115 | 1 h 14 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I take Kalmar to overcome Djurgarden in this match up. Djurgarden cannot get a win away from home for love or money, they have lost six in a row on the road and I see no reason why Kalmar will not make it seven. |
|||||||
07-31-16 | Seattle Sounders FC v. LA Galaxy | 1-1 | Win | 260 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Fancy the draw in this one, LA have been in red hot form recently winning their last four games on the bounce, however, while they have won their last two road games in the MLS they are still vulnerable, Seattle have been very inconsistent this season and lost to LA just three weeks ago, but that was a close game and I am confident that Seattle will do better this time round and claim a point. |
|||||||
07-31-16 | STABAEK IF v. Stromsgodset -1 | 2-2 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 35 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Stromgodset all day long for me in this one, not only do I expect them to win , but I expect them to win by at least two goals and cover the spread. |
|||||||
07-31-16 | Sporting Kansas City v. Portland Timbers +0.5 | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. On paper Sporting KC should win this one, but Portland have been improving, yes they lost last week against NYC and Sporting KC are formidable at home, but Portland have drawn their last four away matches and Sporting KC are not unbeatable at home. Take Portland on the spread and get both the draw and away win on your side |
|||||||
07-31-16 | TROMSO IL v. BODO/GLIMT | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 40 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I like the look of the draw in this one, having done my analysis and research, as well as based on my own viewing of these two teams in action a draw looks the value pick. |
|||||||
07-31-16 | Haugesund +105 v. Sogndal | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 38 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. It is hard for me to look at anything other than a home win for Haugesund today, Yes Sogndal are quite impressive recently on the road but they will have to raise their game if they expect to leave Haugesund with anything. |
|||||||
07-31-16 | LILLESTROM SK v. AALESUNDS FK +145 | 0-2 | Win | 145 | 1 h 12 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I will be taking Aalesunds to defeat Lillestrom this afternoon in Norway. The Home side appear to have settled at home, while Lillestrom still cannot buy a win away from home |
|||||||
07-30-16 | New York City +154 v. Colorado Rapids | 5-1 | Win | 154 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. Top of Western Conference New York City faces off against second placed Eastern Conference side Colorado Rapids in what promises to be a classic. I am taking New York to win outright, they are formidable at home while Colorado cannot buy an away win, they have won just twice on the road all season and have drawn four of their last five, they need to do better than that against New York City. This is also City's first home game after four away's and they will look to bounce back from a 4-1 humbling against the Red Bulls. |
|||||||
07-30-16 | Ostersunds FK +178 v. Elfsborg | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 47 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I am backing Ostersund to win this one against Elfsborg. I am taking Ostersunds based on having watched them and Elfsborg in their most recent game, I felt that Ostersunds were very unlucky to lose against Elfsborg just five days ago, I thought that Ostersunds were the better team throughout and I expect them to get revenge today. |
|||||||
07-30-16 | Gefle IF +246 v. Hammarby | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 43 m | Show | |
All my Soccer picks are researched and analysed fully, each one carries my full confidence with a focus on picks that offer value for money. I fancy Gefle to spring a little surprise here and claim all three points. Gefle lost 2-0 in their most recent game against Norkopping, which is no shame considering they were playing the best team in Sweden., previous to that they won 4-2 at home against Kalmar and they strike me as a team that is finally starting to get their act together. Hammarby are not in great form themselves, they did beat Gefle last time they met but this game is at Gefle and that makes a difference. Take Gefle at good odds to win. |
|||||||
07-28-16 | Maribor v. Aberdeen OVER 2 | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
Aberdeen v Maribor Scottish outfit Aberdeen take on Slovenian side Maribor in the Europa League third qualification round. The level of Scottish football recently appears to have dropped significantly, Celtic lose in Gibraltar and Hearts get dumped by a Maltese side, but at least Aberdeen seem to be playing to form. That said, Slovenian football is arguably on the same level as Scottish football and Maribor could spring a surprise here, I certainly expect them to score at least once. Aberdeen are at home of course and they will be looking to take a win to Slovenia for the second leg and so I do expect them to attack, I also expect that they will find the back of the net at least once. Considering I expect both sides to score and that either team could go on and win then going over 2 goals is the value bet here. |
|||||||
07-28-16 | Vorskla Poltava v. NK Zagreb +178 | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
Lokomotiva Zagreb v Vorskla I take Croatian side Lokomotiva Zagreb to have too much for Ukrainian outfit Vorskla and to get the win here in 90 minutes. Lokomotiva Zagreb are quite strong at home, they only tend to lose at their home ground against the better Croatian sides, they beat RoPS of Finland 3-0 in the last round at their home ground and I really do expect them to be able to defeat Vorskla this evening. Vorskla are not so bad really, but an analysis of their away games in Europe has shown that they do not perform so well when travelling, though in all fairness there is very little to go on, they lost early on last year in the qualification rounds and you have to go back to 2011 for their last set of results. Bottom line for me is that Lokomotiva Zagreb are the better side, they are decent at home and they are playing against very beatable opposition, I would be very disappointed if the home side do not win this one. |
|||||||
07-28-16 | FC Spartak Moscow v. AEK Larnaca OVER 2.5 | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 48 m | Show | |
Larnaca v Spartak Moscow I expect there to be goals in this one between Cypriot side Larnaca and Russian outfit Spartak Moscow. Cypriot football is not too bad, it is not minnow football like Andorra or Liechtenstein, but it is not on the same level as Russian club football either. That said, that does not mean that I think Spartak will win this one, Larnaca are more than capable of putting in a decent performance and I expect them to give a good account of themselves this evening in Cyprus. It would of course be no surprise to see Spartak win this one, but I certainly do not think they would win it easily, they will have to defend strongly against Larnaca, who know that they must take something to Moscow for the second leg. I expect both sides to score at least once and I do expect a winner to emerge, probably Spartak, but I do not have nowhere near enough confidence in them to back them outright. Best outcome I see is this game having at least three goals in it and that will be my pick. |
|||||||
07-27-16 | FC Copenhagen v. FC Astra Giurgiu OVER 2 | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
Astra v FC Copenhagen First leg of this champions league qualifier pits the champion of Romania against the champion of Denmark in an intriguing match up. It is difficult to know which league is actually stronger, I would lean towards the Romanian league as being the stronger, but not by much. Both sides domestic leagues have just got started with Astra getting off to a shocker, losing 4-1 at home to Dinamo Bucharest, but that happens with first games of the season, they will have settled since that result and I expect a better performance from them tonight. Copenhagen have won both their domestic games 3-0 and 4-0 respectively and they won their last champions league qualifier against Ireland's Crusaders 7-0 on aggregate, in better words, their last four games have seen 14 goals scored with none conceded. So, we have a home side that is smarting from an opening league game thrashing against an away side that is scoring for fun. I am not sure Copenhagen will win, but I do expect them to score, Â they are currently scoring for fun and with Astra defence split open last week then I would say it is a good thing that the Danes will score tonight. Astra are better than their recent home loss suggests and they will be looking for redemption tonight, I expect them to score as well and therefore will be doing the overs in this one. |
|||||||
07-27-16 | Astana v. Celtic OVER 2 | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 3 h 7 m | Show | |
Astana v Celtic Astana are the best team in Kazakhstan, they won the title last season after finishing third in the regular season and then doing best in the championship round, they are clear leaders this season and will enter the championship round ahead of all domestic rivals. Celtic are the best side in Scotland, they are under new management but they did make hard work of dispatching Gibraltar outfit Lincoln Red Imps, they won 3-1 on aggregate after losing in Gibraltar 1-0, a massive embarrassment. So we have the best sides from Kazakhstan and Scotland and truth be told, I cannot say hand on heart that the Scottish leagues are any better than the Kazakhstan leagues. Astana are actually favourites for this game and it would be no real surprise to see them emerge victors, but it would be folly to write of Celtic, they are of course a far better team than their recent results have shown and their new manager Brendan Rodgers will get it right and a 1-1 friendly draw with Leicester is not too bad, yes it is is a meaningless friendly, but it helps morale. I do take Celtic to score but am not confident they will win, therefore I am going for the overs markets. Bottom line is I expect both sides to score and either team can easily kick on and win, so over 2 goals is the value pick. |
|||||||
07-25-16 | Flamengo -1.5 v. América Mineiro | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 56 m | Show | |
Flamengo v América Mineiro As soccer games go, this one is a bit of a mismatch and I fully expect the home side to win and to win easy. This is not so much about Flamengo but about America Mineiro, they are utterly woeful, they have got just eight points from 15 games and are already seven points adrift at the bottom, they have lost six road games from seven and drawn the other, basically that is one point from a possible 21, like I say woeful. Flamengo are not world beaters, however they are seventh, they have a 4-3-3 record at home and a win today will take them up to fifth, they have won their last two home games and have some momentum. One last factor, in five out of their six away losses, America Mineiro have lost by two goals or more. Therefore I am going for a home win and for Flamengo to cover the 1.5 goal spread. |
|||||||
07-25-16 | Ostersunds FK v. IF ELFSBORG -0.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Elfsborg v Östersunds FK I am taking Elfsborg to get the better of promoted outfit Ostersunds today in the Swedish Allsvenskan. Ostersunds have done ok so far for a promoted side, however, they are a mediocre outfit and while their away record is not so bad on the face of it, just two losses from seven, they are still very vulnerable and with just the one win on the road, very limited. Ostersunds have drawn four times away from home, but when they get beat, they get beat in style, 3-0 and 5-0 losses confirm that, they are very defensive, though in all fairness their most recent away draw against Norkopping did buck that trend with a 3-3 result. Elfsborg are only two points ahead of Ostersunds and their home record is average with three wins, two draws and a loss, but recently they have shown signs of building momentum with three wins and three draws in their last six games home and away. Basically, Elfsborg will set out to attack and put Ostersunds down early on, the away side will defend vigorously like they have done in nearly every game this season, but I cannot see them holding out for the full 90 minutes and I do expect Elfsborg to emerge the victors and cover the spread. |
|||||||
07-24-16 | Lillestrom +255 v. Stromsgodset | 2-0 | Win | 255 | 3 h 46 m | Show | |
Lillestrom v Stromsgodset On paper Stromsgodset should win this one, but I am not convinced that they will. Lillestrom current form is poor and even with home advantage it would take unique circumstances to back them to win this one, I believe we have those unique circumstances. Lillestrom are not that bad a team, yes they are in a bit of a freefall at the moment but they showed early season that they are a talented bunch and all that is required for them to turn things around is that one good game. Stromsgodset are doing far better than I expected, they are full of confidence, however they took a hit midweek against Danish outfit SønderjyskE in the Europa league, they were 2-0 up and cruising to the next round, they conceded and had to go into extra time and they conceded in the last minute of the game after 120 minutes and were eliminated. That sort of game can have a devastating effect, for starters they will be tired after such a long game and will also be emotionally drained, this is the perfect time for Lillestrom to be facing Stromsgodset. If Stromsogodset would have been eliminated in any other way midweek I would have favoured them today, but the manner of their elimination I believe will have an effect today and therefore I am going for a home win. |
|||||||
07-24-16 | New York Red Bulls v. New York City +387 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 39 m | Show | |
New York RB v New York City I am going with City to win this one and to confirm that they have totally recovered from their 7-0 loss back in May and to confirm their superiority over the local rivals following their 2-0 win over them just a few weeks ago. For starters forget that 7-0 loss, that was a one off unlikely to ever be repeated and City showed their strength of character when they beat the Red Bulls 2-0 at Yankee Stadium the next time they met. Red Bulls are of course formidable, especially at home, they have won six of their last seven games at the Red Bull Arena, but this is a derby game and regularly home advantage is not such an advantage. Also, City have become formidable away from home, they have won three of their last four road games and five of their last seven away, a sign of a very good team. Then we have current MLS form home and away, City have lost once and won five of their last six games, whereas Red Bulls have won just once in their last six games, think about that, just one win in six. Would it be a surprise if the Red Bulls won, of course not, they are the favourites after all, but neither would it be a huge surprise for me if City win and based on current MLS form I am more confident in a City win than I am a Red Bull win. |
|||||||
07-24-16 | STABAEK IF +285 v. TROMSO IL | 2-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 42 m | Show | |
Tromsø v Stabæk I fancy the away side to spring a surprise here and collect all three points. Stabaek are in form at the moment, they have won their last two away games in the league and have only lost the once in their last four league games overall, yes they are closer to the bottom than the top and their previous form was woeful,, but the signs are that they are building in confidence and are slowly gathering some momentum. Tromso are just three points above Stabaek in the league and they seem to be losing momentum, they have won just once in their last five home games and collected just one point from nine in their last three home games, they are not consistent by any stretch of the imagination and while they are no worse than Stabaek in that department, they seem to be going backwards a little while Stabaek seem to be progressing. This will be a tight game but I really do fancy the away side to get the win. |

07-24-16 | BK HAECKEN v. Helsingborgs IF | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 14 m | Show | |
Helsingborg v Häcken I like the look of the draw in this Swedish Allsvenskan game. Basically we have two teams in inconsistent form, the home side have not won at home in their last three games, they have lost two of them and drawn once, while the away side have not lost in their last three away games with one win and two draws. Both teams are capable when they are in good form, but neither of them are, only two points separate the sides in the league and both would probably be happy with a draw. All things considered a draw looks the best bet. |

07-23-16 | Houston Dynamo v. Vancouver Whitecaps +286 | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
Houston Dynamo v Whitecaps I am going to back the Whitecaps to get the win here and at some decent odds. My starting point is that I believe that Vancouver are the better team, the current standings back that up, however there is more to this pick than just league standings. There is the fact that Houston have only one win in their last eight MLS games, whereas the Whitecaps are on a three match unbeaten run. Now, these are small things, it has to be acknowledged that Houston are quite strong at home, they have lost just the once there all season, while the Whitecaps have lost 6 from 9 road games, but it is the current form and momentum that has me believing that the Whitecaps can spring a surprise here. Bottom line for me is that right now it is the Whitecaps that are on an unbeaten run and that Houston are struggling to buy a win in the MLS. All things considered I am taking the Whitecaps to spring a surprise and win this one. |

07-23-16 | Colorado Rapids +127 v. FC Dallas | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 16 m | Show | |
Colorado Rapids v Dallas I am taking the Rapids to win this one in a massive game between first and second in the Western Conference. Dallas currently sit top three points ahead of Colorado, however they have played three games more and will lose the top spot if they lose this game tonight. Dallas are not formidable on the road, they have lost 6 times from 11 away games, they have won on just four occasions, which is rather a poor return for a team that is sitting at the top of the table. Colorado are dominant at home, in ten games they have won eight and drawn two, that is very close to being the definition of a fortress. Both teams are obviously in decent form but I cannot get away from the home dominance of Colorado against the weak away form of Dallas and for me that will be the difference between these two tonight. All things considered I am going for a home win. |

07-23-16 | Toronto FC v. DC United | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Toronto v DC United I like the look of the draw between these two this evening. Toronto are fairly decent at home, there is no getting away from that, but a closer look at their home record reveals that while they have lost just the once they have won less than 50% of home games, they have drawn as many times as they have won. DC United have won just once away from home all season, not a good record, but as with Toronto, once you drill down you will see that they have drawn 60% of all their away games, they have lost three times, won once and drawn an incredible six times. Add to that the fact that just two points separate these two teams in the league and it is hard to say that one side is better than the other. Now, there have been special circumstances this season, as an example Toronto played their first eight games away from home, however it has all evened out now and the bottom line for me is that there is almost nothing to choose between the teams and they both love a draw. All things considered I am going for a draw in this one. |

07-23-16 | Portland Timbers +121 v. LA Galaxy | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
Portland Timbers v LA Galaxy A game to look forward to between the Timbers and Galaxy and I am going with Portland to emerge the winners. In the MLS Portland have finally got their act together after an appalling start to the season, they are now on a nine game unbeaten run and at home have won four of their last five and drawn the other game, that is 13 points from a possible 15. On the other hand, LA Galaxy on the road have been poor recently, they did beat Seattle last time away, however that was only their second win all season on the road and their first in their last six road games. Now, LA did beat Portland 1-0 recently in the US Open Cup at Providence Park, but I am happy to leave that to one side, cup games are always different to league games and are best treated in isolation. The home form of Portland against the road form of LA is enough to sway me, I accept that overall LA are also in decent form, they are unbeaten in their last five MLS fixtures, but I cannot get away from their poor away form against a resurgent Portland. Take Portland to win. |

07-22-16 | Real Salt Lake v. San Jose Earthquakes | 1-1 | Win | 253 | 15 h 11 m | Show | |
Real Salt Lake v San Jose Earthquakes Real Salt Lake host San Jose Earthquakes at the Rio Tinto Stadium in Utah tonight and I am backing this game to end in a draw. Real Salt Lake have drawn four of their last five games at home in the MLS, they are struggling to win games on their home turf no matter who the opponent is. San Jose have drawn four of their last eight away games, they have lost the other four it must be noted, but regardless, drawing 50% of your away games is a developing pattern. It must be said that the home side have not lost at home this season and the away side have not won on the road, but there are simply too many draws to ignore. Take the draw |

07-22-16 | AALESUNDS FK v. SK Brann -1 | 0-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 21 m | Show | |
Brann v Aalesund A little bit of a mismatch here when you look at the respective home and away records of these two. In league games Brann have won their last six straight home games, they have conceded just one goal in those six games and scored ten. Aalesund have lost four of their last six away games, drawn one and won one, they have conceded eleven and scored five, in their last two away games they have allowed four goals in each game. In better words, at home Brann are formidable, away from home Aalesund are vulnerable to a thrashing. I am taking Brann to win this one and to cover the spread, I really cannot see Aalesund getting anything at all from this match. |

07-21-16 | Heart of Midlothian -1.5 v. Birkirkara FC | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Hearts v Birkirkara I was slightly surprised by the 0-0 scoreline in the first leg between these two teams, Hearts should have won and I fully expect them to put that right this evening. I have watched the Maltese side live in Malta, I know Maltese football and their level is far lower than the Scottish Premiership. Scottish club football is not good I accept that, but it is of a higher standard than Maltese football, this is not guesswork, this opinion is based on me spending 3 years in Malta and watching their football week in week out. If Hearts play to their level then they will win this one, of course shocks happen, we have seen so many recently, but it would be a huge shock to me if Hearts do not win this one comfortably. I am taking Hearts to win this and to cover the spread. |

07-21-16 | Stromsgodset v. Soenderjyske OVER 2.5 | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
Stromsgodset v Sonderjyske Two teams from Scandinavia clash in the second leg of the Europa League qualifiers in a game that should produce goals. The first leg finished 2-1 in favour of Denmark's Sonderjyske, which means that Norway's Stromsgodset have that all important away goal. I watch Scandinavian football a lot, I regularly pick games from Norway, Sweden and occasionally Denmark and know how these teams play and I find it difficult to believe that Stromsgodset will keep a clean sheet, I am positive that Sonderjyske will score at least once and wipe out the Norwegian sides away goal advantage. I also feel that the home side will probably win, the odds are not attractive enough for me to take that risk though, however, if I feel the home side will win and that the away side will score then logic follows that this game will end over 2.5 goals. Based on my knowledge of Scandinavian football and how they play I am confident that there will be at least three goals in this game. Take over 2.5 goals. |

07-21-16 | Odds BK -1 v. PAS Giannina | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 1 m | Show | |
Odd v PAS Giannina Norwegian outfit Odd host Greek side PAS Giannina in the second leg of the Europa league qualifier with PAS taking a 3-0 advantage with them to Norway. Odd are much better than the 3-0 loss suggests, they also lost at the weekend in their domestic league 2-1 away to Bodo/Glimt and that was another bad defeat for them, they are second in the Norwegian league and they are in that position for a reason, but their last two results have betrayed their true level. PAS will be looking to sit on their lead, that you can be certain of, they are not going to risk their lead by attacking and leaving themselves exposed at the back, so I see a game with one team attacking and the other defending. I fully expect Odd to win this one, I doubt they will overcome the three goal deficit, that will take some doing, but I expect them to give it a real go. I am backing Odd to win this one and to get close to PAS goal supremacy and therefore will take the Norwegian outfit to win and cover the spread. Odd -1 |

07-18-16 | KALMAR FF v. Gefle IF OVER 2.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 2 h 45 m | Show | |
Gefle v Kalmar Bottom side Gefle welcome 11th position Kalmar in the Swedish Allsvenskan today. Gefle are woeful, they have lost their last 8 games and are almost certain to be relegated, they have not won a single game at home and are a club in deep crisis. Kalmar are unbeaten in their last five league games, drawing 3 and winning twice and they have won their last two away games. So you can see the clear difference between the teams and initially I was tempted to go for Kalmar to win, everything is in their favour, however they do tend to draw and even though they are playing the worst team in the league, it is still a worry. Having analysed the two teams I have decided that I will go for over 2.5 goals. For this pick I am going for over 2.5 goals as I think that Gefle will score. |

07-18-16 | DJURGARDENS IF v. JONKOPINGS SODRA +200 | 0-1 | Win | 200 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
Jonkopings Sodra v Djurgarden I fancy the home team to scrape the win in a game between two very out of form teams. Neither team fills me with that much confidence, but the form of the way side is that bad that the pendulum does swing towards Jonkopings Sodra. Jonkopings Sodra have just lost once from their six home games, however they have drawn on three occasions, but they are playing a team that has not drawn on the road and lost five times, winning just twice. The form of both teams is also poor, both have managed just 3 points from a possible 18 over their last six games. The draw does seem an attractive option, but the fact that Djurgarden have not drawn a single away game and Jonkopings only losing once at home has swung it for me that a home win is the most likely result. All things considered I am going for a home win. |

Gefle v Kalmar Bottom side Gefle welcome 11th position Kalmar in the Swedish Allsvenskan today. Gefle are woeful, they have lost their last 8 games and are almost certain to be relegated, they have not won a single game at home and are a club in deep crisis. Kalmar are unbeaten in their last five league games, drawing 3 and winning twice and they have won their last two away games. So you can see the clear difference between the teams, Kalmar have everything is in their favour, however they do tend to draw and even though they are playing the worst team in the league, it is still a worry. That said, the most likely winner will be Kalmar. For this pick I am going for Kalmar to win, I am worried about the draw but I am of the opinion that there is more of a chance of an away win than a draw. Kalmar to win |

07-17-16 | Montreal Impact v. New York City | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
Montreal Impactv New York City This game has draw written all over it and that is what I will be backing in this game. Montreal could in theory go second behind New York if they can grab the win and will be very aware of that, however they also know that they do not want to lose this game and see City open up a seven point lead. Montreal at home are very strong, they have lost just the once in eight games, however, it must be noted that they have drawn three of those eight home games and so in 50% of their home games they have not won. New York City sit atop the Eastern Conference, they have a very good away record, winning five times, drawing once and losing on three occasions, however, the fact that they have lost three times on the road does show that is where they are vulnerable. Basically, Montreal do draw a lot at home, New York are decent away but not world beaters and with so much at stake I see a conservative game with the draw the most likely outcome. |

07-17-16 | Portland Timbers +105 v. Seattle Sounders FC | 3-1 | Win | 105 | 3 h 12 m | Show | |
Portland Timbers v Seattle Sounders Intriguing match up in prospect between Portland and Seattle, but I am fairly confident that Portland will emerge the winners. Portland have come back to form after a very poor start to the season, they are now on a 8 game unbeaten run in the MLS, albeit with 5 draws, but considering their start to the season the Timbers will take that, though they will now be looking to get more wins than draws as they push on for the rest of the season. Seattle got their first win in five games last week when they crushed Dallas 5-0, however, that was at home and their away record is hardly something to shout about, they have won just once from eight away games this season and that is the main reason they sit second bottom in the Western Conference. All things considered I am going for the home win, Portland are on a good run while Seattle cannot buy an away win. |

07-17-16 | LILLESTROM SK v. SARPSBORG 08 | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 33 m | Show | |
Sarpsborg 08 v Lillestrom I like the look of the draw in this one. On paper Sarpsborg are the favourites, however, looking closer at their stats and the stats of Lillestrom and a case can be made for the draw. Sarpsborg are unbeaten in their last six games at home, they have drawn three and won three, however, two of those wins have been by a single goal, only once have they won convincingly. Lillestrom away record looks a little poor, however they drew their last away game at Sogndal who are in good form at the moment and their two away games before that, both losses, were to the top team and team in 3rd place in the league, prior to that they won away at Odd 3-1, who are second in the league. Point is this, three of Lillstrom's last four away games have included playing the top 3 and yet they win one and lost two, they also drew with 8th placed Sogndal, again, above them.quite a decent return considering who they were playing. Sarpsborg do have a decent home record, but it is not formidable and Lillestrom are not as bad away from home as it first appears. All things considered I am going for the draw |

07-17-16 | Odds BK v. BODO/GLIMT | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
Bodø /Glimt v Odd Looking at the table and the respective home and away records it would be easy to go for an away win, however I am not so sure that is the best way to go in this game. Odd are second in the table and will go within one point of the leader Rosenborg, so they are clearly motivated but their away record is not as convincing as it should be for a team in their position. Lets have a quick look at their away record, they beat Valerenga last week 1-0 but Valerenga are in the relegation zone, previous to that they drew away at Sarpsborg, previous to that they lost 3-1 at Haugesund, their record prior to that was ok winning three and drawing once, but their recent away record is not that convincing. Bodo/Glint at home are not great I admit, but last week they drew at home with the league leaders Rosenborg, their first game back from the summer break and that could signal a change n fortune, previous to the break their home record was not great at all, racking up 4 losses in and draw in their five home games before the break, though before that they did win twice at home at the start of the season. For me this is about the return from the summer break, Bodo Glint have returned in excellent form, drawing at home to Rosenborg and then last week winning away 4-1. Odd have also returned from the break in winning form and that leads me to believe a draw is the best pick here. Basically Bodo Glint after the break are in excellent form and Odd away from home are beatable, however Odd have returned from the break winning both their games and they are second, so while I do think Bodo/Glint are in great form, I am not sure they have enough to beat Odd and visa verse. All things considered I am going for a draw. |

07-17-16 | Stabaek v. SK Brann +227 | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 45 m | Show | |
Stabæk v Brann Two teams with very poor records at home and away respectively, however there is an opening here for a very good pick. Brann are the better team, they are 5th in the table compared to Stabaek in 13th and the teams are separated by a massive 13 points. That said, Brann have lost their last four away games in the league, they have not scored a single goal in those four games but they did bounce back to form last week at home beating Valerenga by a significant 4-1. Stabaek also won last week, away from home beating Lillestrom 2-1, seems they are a better side playing away from home, but alas, they are at home and their record there is appalling. They have lost four of their last five home games and one win in five is not good by anyone's standards. All things considered I am going with Brann to snap their losing streak away from home, they showed last week that they are in good form and while Stabaek also won last week I cannot get away from the fact that they appear more comfortable on the road. Brann to win. |

07-16-16 | Norrkoping -132 v. Ostersunds FK | 3-3 | Loss | -132 | 2 h 53 m | Show | |
Norrkoping v Ostersunds FK I fully expect Norrkoping to get all three points today against Ostersunds Norrkoping are challenging for the title, if they win today they will go joint top with Malmo, in fact if they win by four goals (unlikely), they would go clear top on goal difference. Norrkoping are unbeaten at home this season, winning five and drawing the other game, they are turning their home stadium into a fortress. Ostersunds are nine points and seven places below Norrkoping, they have won just once on the road this season and it would take a great leap of faith to believe they will get their second away win of the season against Norrkoping. All things considered I am going for a home win |

07-15-16 | Valerenga v. Sogndal | 1-1 | Win | 264 | 4 h 42 m | Show | |
Sogndal @ Valerenga Interesting game and at the start of the season I would have had Valerenga as a banker in this game, but that is nowhere near the case at this time. Sogndal have surprised me this season, they are doing far better than I thought they would, they are unbeaten in their last eight Elitesreien games and in their last match beat Molde, one of the top Norwegian sides, 4-3. Valerenga sit ten points behind Sogndal and have lost their last two matches, they sit second bottom and are facing a relegation dog fight unless they get their act together. Valerenga are better than what they have shown this season, but unless they start to play better they will be relegated and they will only have themselves to blame. Sogndal have a very average away record that must be said, two wins, two draws and three losses, but in all fairness that is better than what I would have expected. All Valerenga's wins this season have come at home, but even then they have lost more times at home than they have won, winning three and losing four. Even though Valerenga have not drawn at home this season I am of the opinion that is what will happen today, I will explain why. Sogndal are in form, Valerenga are not, but I am not convinced that Sogndal will get the win today. That said, I am in no way convinced that Valerenga will win either, Sogndal have the better form, but I cannot ignore the fact that their away record is average. All things considered I am going for the draw in this one. |

07-12-16 | Palmeiras v. Santos FC OVER 2.5 | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
Palmeiras v Santos First plays seventh at the Allianz Parque in Sao Paulo this evening with the home side looking to extend their lead to three points. Palmeiras are unbeaten at home, in fact they have won every single game in Serie A at home, whereas Santos have won just twice on the road from seven away games. Therefore the home and away statistics do point to a clear home win, but not everything is as it seems. Palmeiras are top because of that home record, they have lost more times away than what they have won on the road, now I understand they are at home and so their away form should not be relevant, but it shows me that they are beatable, they are not dominating the league and in fact, if Santos did win they would be within three points of Palmeiras. Now, I do have Palmeiras as the most likely to win this game, but it would be folly to dismiss Santos out of hand, they could spring a surprise here. And therein lies my problem with picking Palmeiras outright, there is just too much risk for me to do that, however that does not mean there is no pick to be had, there is, one I am confident in. I am confident that this game will end in over 2.5 goals and I will tell you why. Four of Palmeiras home games have had at least three goals in them, three of Santos away games have finished with 3 or more goals, so overall between both sides, when playing home and away respectively 50% of the games have had 3 or more goals, not enough to plump for overs based on that, but this is what swung it for me. On current form (last six league games) both sides have an over 3 goals per game average, Palmeiras have had 21 goals in their games and Santos have had 20 and it is current form that I find most relevant. But there is more, Palmeiras want the win to go clear top while Santos want to close to within 3 points of the leaders, both have huge motivation, both have something to play for and both will want to win. I expect both teams to score at least once and I do expect a winner to emerge, probably Palmeiras. Finally, this is a Sao Paulo derby and that means passions will be high and that could effect the outcome as well. All things considered I am going over 2.5 goals. |
