Liverpool vs Arsenal - Arsenal win @5/2 betfair (also betvictor, bwin, youwin, 9/4 elsewhere) Normally wouldn't look on Arsenal games as having much value in the win market, but 5/2, given that they've 19 points from 21 in the league, and really outmatched the Liverpool midfield last time and contained Suarez very effectively, seems like very good value. I'd certainly think they'd win this more than 28% of the time - they are a much better team than Liverpool, and have the best away record in the league. Alternately, 4/6 double chance with betfair looks decent too.

Atletico beat Madrid at the Bernabeau in the league earlier in the season and I think Real are under much more pressure than Atletico to get a result after dropping points on the weekend and seeing that they trail their city rivals in the league, Atletico will be more than happy with a draw in the 1st leg to take to the Vicente Calderon and I think there is a good chance they will get it, they are a very good hard working team who performs consistently while Madrid are no doubt individually superior but as a team aren't functioning as well as their city rivals. Napoli got beaten comprehensively at mid-table Atlanta on the weekend and earlier in the season in the league they lost 2-0 at the stade Olimpico so one has to fancy Roma to win, they are unbeaten at home all season and beat Serie A leaders Juventus at home in the last round of the Italian cup, (Gervinho anytime scorer or anytime assist also has potential) And finally Barca play Sociedad at home after being surprisingly beaten by Valencia on the weekend, they are definitely vulnerable in defence but Barca should bounce back against a Sociedad team that concedes alot on the road (5 versus Villareal, 4 versus Atl.Madrid) so I think half time full time Barca can be backed with confidence.

As for real sociedad they have lost all of the last 19 visits to the nou camp , barce will win tonight

I'm a Liverpool supporter and hoping for some Champions League football:) 9 of the last 10 games in Anfield between these two has seen both teams score. What do you think about that bet bearing in mind Arsenal have 11 clean sheets (3 away) this season and Liverpool have 5 clean sheets at home and the 2nd best home offense?
inforfun wrote: » "Early" match in Holland tonight is Cambuur - PSV Let it drop somewhere on the forum already i very much like the Cambuur DC which i took a few days ago @2.05 When just looking at statistics this season, it is a no brainer. Cambuur is in 15th place but if you just look at a ranking for home matches, they would be in 9th with w6-d1-l3. Away from home they havent won a single match, picking up 3 points only. Those 3 matches they lost were against Ajax, Twente and Feyenoord and certainly against Ajax and Twente they deserved more. PSV would be in 11th position in the league table made of away matches only wit ha w2-d2-l7 record which is nothing short of embarrassing. Cambuur missing 2 regulars tonight due to suspension, PSV not missing anyone apart from the couple of players they miss for months already. Cambuur played pretty good away to Twente last sunday but lost 3-1, while PSV didnt do so well away to RKC, 2-0 loss. The main reason why Cambuur has the home record they have is their artificial pitch. The matches they lost at home was mostly due to them not taking their chances but they have sorted that out a bit during the winterbreak by getting 2 forwards in, Elvis Manu and Ogbeche who were on the score sheet in their last home game against Heerenveen. When looking at goals scorers i would pick on off these guys. Might be another under 3,5 for Lass but i am less convinced for that as with vitesse - AZ last night while the odds are pretty terrible. So i will not advise this one. Referee for tonight is Vink who isnt too generous with his cards. Only 2 sending offs this season when he was in charge but .... 1 came in a Cambuur match (at home against Ajax) and the other one was a home match of PSV. Also just 1 penalty given by Vink apparently this season. No no bets for me on the cards/penalties.

Was originally gonna do west ham on the handicap but but think the loss of Carroll will be huge for them. No coincidence their recent good performances have coincided with his return. Villas performances have improved recently and Benteke has come back into form. Think they will have enough to beat West Ham at home.

inforfun wrote: » After yesterdays robbery we have 2 matches today in Holland Only will take something on the early one: Utrecht - ZwolleWill be taking the home win here @2.25 (acc to flashscore, cant access bookies to double check) Home results this season has been great for Utrecht despite on picking up 1 point in their last 3 home matches. That had everything to do wit hthe opponents being Ajax (draw), Feyenoord (playing by far their best match of the season) and PSV (quick 2-0 up and never looked back) Utrecht got 5 players in on the last few days of the transfer window and looked to have benefited from that against Ajax with a much securer defense than they previously had. Delpierre, new central defender on loan from Hoffenheim looked pretty good The other 4 were not in the line up but 2 of them came of the bench. Home record of Utrecht shows 6-3-2, 6th best in the league and you can see where they were before the traditional top 3 dropped by in their stadium. Zwolle finished 2013 in quite terrible form and improved a lot after the break but this week had to add 2 players to their sidelined players and these 2 are massively important to them. Both Lachman and Mokotjo are injured for the next few weeks and will be badly missed. had an away win agains tNAC and a home win against Roda after the break but were helped by being awarded a pretty soft penalty in the Roda match. I was first looking at overs @1.72 which is quite high for the Dutch league but i opted for the home win in stead. Zwolle might have a goal in them but without Mokotjo in midfield will be much less effective as they normally would. Dont have odds for goal scorers but Steve de Ridder should be considered, Utrechts top scorers and Zwolle missing their best defender in Lachman. De RRidder is/was also the man for penalties but Utrecht only got 2 this season, 1 missed by De Ridder. So not likely he will be on the next penalty, i reckon it might be Toornstra's turn now who is scoring regularly already this season. never took him though as the odds on him are usually not good enough for me. They conceded 8 penalties this season, 3 missed. Referee is Sanders who i cant find on any stats so cards/penalties i leave out.
