Orduspor - Galatasaray

Tip : 2

Odd : 1.97

Bookmaker : Pinnacle

FT : 0:2 WIN !!!

Galatasaray will play against newcomer Ordu to get fifth win in a row. The moral and form is at top in  Galatasaray right now but Ordu is in trouble these days. Coach Metin Diyadin left the club because of the problems with board and chairman,then the club announced Bülent Ünder as a new coach. Bülent Ünder was assistant coach of Fatih Terim and he was in charge last year after Hagi. IMO he is not capable to be first coach and i am sure Ordu will get some problems in the future.

Fatih Terim changed useless Riera with Baros and play 4-4-2 and took the reward. Galatasaray was very good against Fenerbahçe and Trabzon. They defence and midfield is strong for Turkish league and with two good strikers (Baros and Elmander) they can find a lot of positions. They won last four match with 9-2 goals. Engin Baytar can play tonight but Emre Colak was great and i dont know if F.Terim would change him with Engin. Sabri is the only important missing in squad.

Orduspor started season very well. They play very defensive football and try to find a goal with their stars Fatih Tekke, Stancu and Culio. Stancu and Culio are hired from Galatasaray and Fatih Tekke will miss this match due injury.  They have good midfielders like Dalmat and Gosso and try to hold the game but i doubt they will achive to get point. They can not win in last 8 match and lost last five of them. They can not score more than one goal. Only two times they scored 2 and it was against Ankaragücü which was very bad.

Orduspor president is Galatasaray member and have good relationship with Galatasaray as you can understand from hiring players or new coach and Galatasaray will not play in hostile stadium for this reasons.

With this form and quality differences between Ordu and Galatasaray ; it is very nice odd for Galatasaray win. I believe Galatasaray will not stop and give the leadership to Fenerbahce.

Galatasaray won against Fener and Trabzon and this will be like securing the brake in tennis. Galatsaray will win tonight, 0:2 my cal, GL!

Pick # 11 (6-0-4) + 175units

Macclesfield - Chelmsford

Tip : 1

Odd : 1.98

Bookmaker : Pinnacle

FT : 1:0 WIN !!!

Well, I know this is FA Cup, I know there are surprises, I know teams from lower leagues are motivated, I know Chelmsford were unbeaten in some 15  games or so, but well there is two leagues difference between the teams, Macclesfiled are fully professional team, they managed a good draw away from home in a game they were better, they play at home now and should win this. They wont underestimate Chelmsford, they will pick best team because winner of this game will play against Premier League side, Bolton is awaiting! And for Macclesfield this is special, they already played Bolton in League Cup this season and had them on the ropes, but lost at the end. So, this is a chance or revenge, of course first they need to dispose of Chelmsford.

Macca are having a good season, they were mainly fighting against relegation in previous seasons, so a little change will do them good. Currently they are 13th at the moment and at home they only lost 2 games.

On the other side, Chelmsford are 4th in Conference South and in great form, but there is a difference in class between professional and amateur teams. They also have big problem with injuries, here is what their coach said for BBC:

"We're the walking wounded at the moment. We're going to have to reassess a number of players. We had seven missing for Saturday's game. Hopefully there'll be a number of thumbs up and we'll be able to include a lot more of our senior players."

 Macclesfield should win this easily, my call is 3-1!

Pick #10 (6-0-3) + 274units

Forest Green - Newport

Tip : 3+ (over 2.5)

Odd : 2.06

Bookmaker : 188BET

FT : 0:2 Lost

Our match on goals tonight, it will take us to FA Trophy and two Conference sides will meet in this interesting encounter. Both managed to improve their recent form and both are showing better scoring form lately.

On one side, Forest Green are havin a great season and they are currently 9th and unbeaten in last 8 League games. Also, Rovers are now scoring a lot more, 5 overs in last 8 games were high scoring. 5-1,4-1 and twice 3-1 were results. Overall they season average is 2.6 goals per their games.

On the other side, Newport are also improving under Edinburgh, they are now a streak of 3 wins a draw and a loss and three of these games were clear overs (4-0, 3-2, 2-3). Their season average is 2,75 and I think they will score at least once here.

Both to score and 2-2 is my call, in these unimportant Cup competitions, goal averages are a lot higher than in league, 21 overs and 11 unders in the first round, first match among these ended as 0-0 draw, but this is going to be a different game.

Pick #8 (5-0-2) + 284units

St Etienne - Caen

Tip : 1

Odd : 1.90

Bookamker : Betclic

FT : 2:0 WIN!!!

This looks like a winnable match for Saint-Etienne, who appear to be finding a little bit of form. Les verts are undefeated in their last four and pretty solid at home. Some would argue that they've had too many draws this season, but I feel they've been against the league's stronger teams - recent results against Valenciennes and Ajaccio suggest they are able to pick off the weaker ones. I'd bracket Caen into that equation too. I'm surprised that Franck Dumas' side aren't closer to the drop zone, to be honest. They are a very open side who get punished by better teams on the road. Recent performances at Bordeaux, PSG and at home to Marseille don't over-enamour me. I find their defence porous and slow, and I think the in-form Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Florent Sinama-Pongolle should be able to take advantage. Max Gradel and Banel Nicolita are also potent on the flanks and Jeremy Clement and Fabien Lemoine offer a nice base in midfield. I just think ASSE will be too strong. They are normally a good home side and I'd back them all the way down to 1.80 in this one.

Pick #9 (5-0-2) +284units

Betis - Valencia

Tip : DNB 2 (AH 0)

Odd : 1.84

Bookmaker : Pinnacle

FT : 2:1 Lost

Betis is obviously in a very bad form and after a great start of the season they are certainly going to have very big problems surviving in La Liga this year. With a 4-1-9 record they are on 17 position, just one point above from the position which leads to Segunda. Of course, they are on ten games row without a win and they earned only one point out of these ten games, drawing against Malaga at home. It looks like their worst nightmare is yet to come as they are struggling to score in every game and their back also doesn’t look that promising at all. Although they are in a very negative run and very negative mood, they will want to improve their record in front of their fans, however it won’t be so easy for them as they are facing up against one of the better teams in the league. No important injury worries for hosts, except midfielder Salva who is ruled out with a injury.

Valencia, on the other side, is having really good season with some really quality displays. They are on 3rd position and are surely actually and looking like the third team of Spanish Primera, just below Real and Barca. With these two playing a derby together, Valencia will surely have a chance to come closer to them (or at least one of them, depending on the result) after this weekend’s round. With a two straight victories in Primera, Valencia will be looking to get the third and improve their mood after falling out of the Champions League as they lost to Chelsea four days ago. Guests will be without defender Jordi Alba, who is suspended for this game.

Valencia have very good record against Betis as they have won last six matches and ten out of last eleven matches they played to each other. Looking back at history, current form and certain individual quality difference which is on Valencia’s side, it’s logical to pick them as clear favorites here at very good odds.

Pick #7 (4-0-2) +184units

Munchen 1860 - Braunschweig

Tip : H1 (-0.25) (Asian handicap)

Odd : 2.00

Bookmaker : Pinnacle

FT : 3:0 WIN !!!

Fridays are slowly becoming less attractive betting days, some of the Leagues already finished their autumn and went to deserved winter rest. But Germans and Dutch still have a couple of more games to play and in Bundesliga 2 there is one great game on program. 1860 are one of the most attractive teams in the league, their games are te most scoring ones and they will play against Braunschweig, a team that surprised us all this year. They are newly promoted from Liga 3 and play nice football, although it seems that their form is in a bit of decline lately.

Muenchen are still a team in financial crisis, but they have a big base of loyal fans and this season they are playing well. They have a potent attack and although their defence is not the strongest around, 1860 are in the top part of the table. They are able to field the same team that won against Aachen and are worthy favourites.

On the other side, Braunschweig are currenlty 6th , but when I last saw them they were not very convincing. Their defence has many missings at the moment and that could show tomorrow against one of the best attacking teams. Braunschweig showed two different faces lately, three wins and four losses, many goals scored and many recieved.

So, what I expect here is a nice, watchable game, over is always an option, but I propose home win. My call is 3-1!

Pick #6 (4-0-1) +284units

Basel - Man Utd

Tip : H2 (-1) (Asian handicap)

Odd : 2.38

FT : 2:1 Lost

Payback time !!! We all know how  first match between these two teams ended, Basel took unexpectedly draw (3:3) and now Man Utd is not even sure for next round. True is that they need just 1pts, but will they risk to play defensive and playing for draw, will ser Alex Ferguson risk?! I don't think so... Man Utd will miss Hernandez and Carick for tonight's match, but they have perfect replace for them. Phil JOnes will play in the middle and Danny Welbeck will be in attack with Rooney. Basel need only win tonight so they will try to do annything to achieve that and I think they will left to many space for counter attack. Man utd is much better team, bigger tradition, bigger experience and I think they will know how to do win tonight and secure pass to second round. Man Utd will win if you ask me, and we have great odd by Pinnacle for Asian -1, it is valuable bet for sure. Here is probable lines up:

Basel : Sommer, Steinhofer, Abraham, Dragovic, J.Park, Shaqiri, Huggel, G.Xhaka, F.Frei, Streller, A.Frei
Man Utd :  De Gea ,Smalling, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Jones, Fletcher, Young, Rooney
Welbeck
As you cann see, most powerfull defence that Man Utd have, middle very strong, and attack very quick, so I think they won't concede tonight and will score at least 2, so my call is 0:2, GL!

Pick #5 (3-0-1) +155 units

Sevilla - Getafe

Tip : H1 (-1) (Asian handicap)

Odd : 2.29

Bookmaker : Pinnacle

FT : 3:0 WIN!!!

In my opinion one thing should be sure here, Sevilla will win tonight! This is perfect moment for Sevilla to make home win and come back to strong home team which it is. Sevilla won in last round away from home 1:0, and stopped bad run they had, now they need to secure that win and win tonight in front of their fans. Sevilla lost last 2 home games against Bilbao and Granda with same score 1:2. They have full squad tonight, except long term injured Kanoute. Getafe won last time on Ramon Sanchez and this i great time for revenge.

After unexpected win against Barcelona in last round Getafe can relax tonight, they manage to take 3pts which they didnt count for sure, so if they lost tonight they wont be so sad, they achieved their aim from this 2 games. They will have big problem with squad tonight, a big number of players is injured or suspended including Ustari, Gavilan, Pedro Leon, and now added with Moya and Guiza, and also Mane, Asilela and Abdel are doubtful. Too many missings for match against strong and experienced team of Seviila.

I think Sevilla will win easily tonight, and players like Jesus Navas, Negredo, Spahic, Perotti, Rakitic will solve this match and bring new win to their supporters. 2:0 is my call, GL!

Pick #4 (2-0-1) +60units

Hamburg - Nurnberg

Tip : 1

Odd : 1.95

Bookmaker : Pinnacle

FT : 2:0 WIN!!!

Hamburger, after terrible start of the season starting improving their game, but the truly good results are yet to come. As said, the performance is improved, but they still have to many draw which led them to only 15th position at the table. For seven game in a row they are unbeaten, but with only two wins. In last three games, big improvement was seen by hosts as they drew in Leverkusen 2:2, won against very good Hoffenheim at home 2:0 and drew in Hannover 1:1. After a win at home against Hoffenheim, it’s normal to expect another good display from them at home, as they playing against one of the weaker sides in Bundesliga. All important players are available in front of this match.

Nurnberg is at 14th position, which is just above their today’s opponent. They are having solid season till now as this is a team with limited budget and their main goal is to survive in Bundesliga this season. It won’t be easy for them, but they know that they will have to focus on games played at their own stadium as this is the place where they get most number of points. How weak they are in games on the road illustrates the best their last two games as they lost both of them 0:4 (against Schalke and Bayern), today we should expect similar as in form HSV is not far away from team like Schalke. Guests will be missing first choice left back Javier Pinola.

Traditionally, Hamburger is having very good record against Nurnberg as they have 6-2-0 record at home in this decade. Hosts have just started playing serious football and getting results and their best is yet to come, starting from this game.

Pick # 3 (1-0-1) -20units

Motpellier - Lorient

Tip : 1

Odd : 1.80

Bookamker : Pinnacle

FT : 4:0 WIN!!! 

Montpellier is still occupying first position above all the odds and it looks like they have no intention to leave it at all. They are three points above second placed PSG and are currently by far the most effective team in French Ligue 1. Especially good they have been playing at home where they have six out of seven wins, with only loss one and a half month ago against already mentioned PSG. As said, hosts are in a great form having won three out of four wins, including last two: Marseille 1:0 at home and 3:1 Sochaux on the road last weekend. Being in a great mood its logical to expect them to win tonight too as they host quite weaker team than the hosts were winning against in recent weeks. Led in attack by Giroud, who is in fantastic form, it’s obvious that Lorient defense will have many problems stopping them.

Lorient is currently holding seventh position which is quite high considering their reputation. However, many teams have similar number of points and it’s a position which can easily slip them away. Their position is mainly based on their good home performances, meanwhile they have pretty poor away 1-2-4 away record. Lorient lost last three matches on the road in Ligue 1: Rennes, Brest, Evian were all better then them. Having said that, it’s obvious that they can’t hope for good results when visiting leaders tonight.

Hosts were beating much better teams at home this season than Lorient is, there is no reason to doubt in another their home win at very nice odds. 

Pick #2 (0-0-1) -100units

Leverkusen - Hoffenheim

Tip : 1

Odd : 1.80

Bookmaker : Pinnacle

FT : 2:0 WIN!!!

This was my firstpick when I saw today's offer...if you read betting forums you can find out in what mess is Hoffe these days. They are tottaly out, when coach Ragnick left them everything goes down for them. The have 4 lost in row away from home, the have 2 draws at home against poor teams like Freiburg and Kaiser. Morale is to low, fact that two players Obasi and Frimino are suspended for this match as they didnt show on training, nothing goes well for thi teams and I think it will be hard for them to resist Leverkusen attack's tonight.

On other side Leverkusen is enjoing, after win in CL against Chelsea 2:1 they want to continue winning and hold positiv atmosphere in team before match in Belgium against Genk where they will play for first place in group. They are winnless in last two home games 2:2 wiht Hamburg and 0:1 against Schalke, and Hoffe is great opponent to stop that record.

In H2H Lever is much much better as they won 5 from last 6 games against Hoffenheim.

All in all, Leverkusen in good form, good atmosphere in team, almost full and best line up against bad away Hoffenhaim, with bad morale, without few players, clear home win. 2:1 or 3:1 my call, GL!

Pick #1

Fenerbahce - Olympiakos

Tip : H2 (+4.5)

Odd : 2.04

Bookmaker : Pinnacle

FT : 86:70 Lost

Well, I totally disagree with this odd, I think bookies overestimate Fenerbahce. I was thinking to take AW with odd 2.99 at Pinnacle but I decided to take this safer option and also excelent odd. Olympiakos started to play great basketball, their coach Ivkovic made good squad and they started to play like one. Spanoulis is perfect leader and playmaker, and he can take his team to first road win this season. Both teams have same score 3-3 so this is very important match for both teams. Olimpiakos made 2 wins in row, both at home against Bilbao 88:81 and Nancy 91:78 but they still dont have win away from home. They are also excelent in Greek, they have all wins except against Pantathinaikos which they lost by 4pts. Tonight they will have full squad except Vasilopoulos as he is long term injury but Mark Howard is back in team and that's great news. In first match Olympiakos won 81-74.

On other side I expected much more from Fener this season but they showed us nothing. They lost last match against Caja Laboral, but not just that, they showed nothing in all other matches, they won 3 in row but all with 2,3pts or after extra time, against Cantu. Fener will be without Marko Tomas and Mirsad Turkcan.

I see Olympiakos as much better squad, with excelent leader Spanoulis, and shooters Marko Keselj and Gecevicius, also great center Papadopulos. They will need to stop Omer Onan and Bogdanovic but I think they will have solution for them. I think one of the best coaches in world Dusan Ivkovic will make good tactic and won again in Istanbul. . Last season Greeks won in Turkey 65:80. Olympiakos also won all matches against Fenerbahce (5), hope they will do it againt tonight, or not to lose more then 4pts. GL!
