13th March 2010
Tottenham (1.44) Draw (4.3) Blackburn (8.5)
Spurs come in to this game off the back of two league wins and an away draw to Fulham in the cup. That 4th place is all to play for still. City are favourites but a win here will keep up the pressure. Spurs are usually strong at home but have had the odd shocking result (Wolves and Stoke both won 1-0). Blackburn can't seem to win away from home. They were good at Liverpool but still lost 2-1. Big Sam probably has this down as a game that he can't win so probably won't try too hard. Odds of 1.44 are a little short but Spurs should win this.
Birmingham (3) Draw (3.4) Everton (2.5)
Good win for Birmingham against Pompey. It was looking like they were going off the boil a bit, especially away from home but a convincing 2-1 away win makes me think they have what it takes to push further up the league. I don't really understand the odds here. Birmingham are above Everton in the league and are at home. They are unbeaten in their last 10 games but Everton are the favourites. Everton have been on a good home run but their away form has been pretty average. These teams have met twice this season already at Goodison and Birmingham have won 1 and draw one. Birmingham are 3.0 at bet365 and that will be my bet.
Bolton (2.2) Draw (3.4) Wigan (3.8)
Bolton looked like they were going to pull clear from the relegation zone with 2 wins on the bounce including an impressive away win at West Ham. They then go on to get beat 4-0 at Sunderland. It was a strong reminder that there is still work to do if they are going to survive. Wigan got their first win in 8 against Liverpool on Monday. It was a shocking Liverpool team performance but Wigan still had to do the work to get the win. I don't think Wigan have any consistency though. I'll take a chance on a Bolton win. Its 2.2 at VC Bet.
Burnley (2.38) Draw (3.4) Wolverhampton (3.3)
Two teams in serious danger of going down this season. Wolves sit above Burnley on goal difference and 3 points behind West Ham who are 16th. Burnley's strong home form has crumbled in recent times. They did well last game to come back from a goal down to get a point from a visiting Stoke side. Wolves last win was at home to Spurs a month ago. Since then they have lost 3 on the bounce, not scoring in any. You struggle to see where they are going to get their goals from. 21 league goals this season puts them bottom of the goals scored table. Burnley are 2.38 at bluesquare
.
Chelsea (1.22) Draw (6) West Ham (15)
The odds suggest this is an open and shut case. Chelsea can go top with a win. Last league game they lost 4-2 to City due to bad defending. The came back with a 2-0 win in the cup against Stoke. They do have Inter Milan next week though so may have half an eye on that. West Ham were shocking against Bolton last week and deserved to lose. They have shown signs previously that they can beat any team on their day. In the reverse fixture, they were brilliant and should have really beaten Chelsea. Only a disputed penalty allowed Chelsea to come away with a point. You have to be a brave man to back against a 1.22 shot so I won't but its a bet that I am going to steer clear of.
Stoke (3.4) Draw (3.3) Aston Villa (2.3)
Stoke were knocked out of the FA Cup last week which effectively ends their season. They'll not go down and will do nothing better than mid-table. They've been on quite a good run. They were unlucky to lose against Arsenal last league game. They were the better team away at Burnley too. Villa have a realistic chance of getting 4th place. If they win their 2 games in hand they can leap frog Spurs who are currently in 4th. Whether they will or not is another matter. Stoke are not an easy team to beat at home. This game looks like a draw to me. Its 3.3 at
Hull (9) Draw (5) Arsenal (1.44)
Hull were thrashed 5-1 by Everton last game. Arsenal were magnificent against Porto midweek winning 5-0. Looks like a nailed on away win. Go back to the last run of home games for Hull and its not as certain. They managed a draw against Chelsea and a win against Man City. Porto were arguably the worst team still left in the Champions League so 5-0 isn't as good as it seems. Arsenal should win this but I will look to the overs/unders 2.5 goals market. Its 1.67 at Ladbrokes for over 2.5 goals. The last 4 games between these two teams ended up overs and I can't see why this won't be.
14th March 2010
Manchester United (1.25) Draw (6) Fulham (16)
Manchester United beat a woeful AC Milan 4-0 in the Champions League. They were fortunate to beat Wolves but that was without Rooney in the side. With Chelsea slipping up they are now favourites to win the league. Fulham were beat 3-1 by Juventus on Thursday. They have a day less rest than Man U and probably had a harder game. Looking at the odds, I could almost be tempted to go Fulham. I had them at the Cottage to beat Man U which they did 3-0. I just fear that Fulham will be looking at the FA Cup replay rather on this more or less nothing game for them. Man U to win then but at a very bad price.
Sunderland (3.75) Draw (3.4) Manchester City (2.2)
Sunderland were sliding with no win in 14 but then pull out a 4-0 against Bolton. That could stop the slide. Bruce has been saying that all it needed to re-ignite their season was a good win and now they have that. City took advantage of some terrible defending by Chelsea to win 4-2 at the Bridge a couple of weeks ago. They are a different team with Tevez and Bellamy in. Its a tricky one this. City have the better players but don't always turn up. I am going to opt for the draw. Its 3.4 at bet365.
15th March 2010
Liverpool (1.25) Draw (6) Portsmouth (15)
Terrible week for Liverpool. First losing 1-0 to Wigan and the losing to Lille by the same score. Benitez looks like he could be breaking his promise of delivering 4th place. This is more or less a do or die match for Liverpool. Portsmouth are down but it didn't stop them getting a result at Burnley a couple of weeks ago. They were poor against Birmingham in the week though. Maybe they have just given up. Not too keen on the odds but I can't see any other result than a Liverpool win. Its 1.25 at most places.
