What a day it was on Saturday in EPL. 6 draws in the same weekend? I guess they’re making up for the lack of draws earlier this season, eh.
 
Now if one can’t guarantee Chelsea to win over Everton or Spurs to beat Wolves, both at the comfort of their own dens, then I guess when [...]

Surely you don’t want to back Juve on this one, even though they are very likely to win it. It’s just that I saw them playing in their most recent 2 encounters (vs Inter in Serie A in the weekend, and vs Bayern in the CL in midweek), and I’m not at all pleased with [...]

On face value Aston Villa appear to be way overpriced at well over 8.00, so let’s just take a closer look at these two to decide if it’s really what it looks like.
 
First fact: United are 9-1-0 vs Villa for their last 10 H2H meetings anywhere, and that lonely draw was achieved at Villa Park [...]

Although Blackburn are not quite the side to back on the road (1-0-6) I suggest they will emerge winners today against the Tigers.
 
First off, 0-0 vs both Stoke and Liverpool (albeit both at home) are “okayish” results IMHO. Stoke have drawn 50% of their games on the road, and Liverpool are simply Liverpool, so theres’ [...]

Finally the train of free scoring Burnley came to a stop when they failed to find the net at Pompey last weekend for the 1st time since late September. In 7 successive games, Burnley have been able to score 14 goals, averaging 2 per game.
 
Yet again, they have kept only one clean sheet in them [...]

The fact that Bolton will be suffering until the very last day of the season is now crystal clear. There’s also a great chance that they will be relegated. They have not won in 6 games (5 EPL) and have collected only 1 point from them all, so I cannot make an argument for their [...]

St Andrews features a nominal relegation clash, although Birmingham seem to be doing far too good to go down at the moment. I just sense that they might struggle later on into the season due to lack of depth in their squad.
 
The Hammers on the other hand are already heavily involved in the relegation scrap, [...]

Back Inter to win at your own peril. I have given up on the Italian champs in Europe already, and with Kazan having been crowned domestic champions in Russia recently, they have nothing but this competition to look forward to for the time being.
 
Inter didn’t at all amuse me last weekend in their 1-2 reverse [...]

On the H2H it’s advantage Standard vs Olympiakos. This is why the Greeks will need a point here to seal their qualification, and they are likely to get one especially with Arsenal fielding their fringe side once again.
 
Wenger of course knows his side is qualified as the group top team anyway, and will be resting [...]

Nothing left to play for, yet a lot to prove for Benitez side in this game. The question is whether they will go for a nominal but totally ineffective win or will treat it as a “serious friendly” and save their energy for the weekends clash Arsenal.
 
Finally Torres is back in contention, but he most [...]
