Hello folks. Lady Luck was not on our side yesterday, as the
game in Goteborg abandoned (not sure if this was a good or
bad thing for our bet), in Jonkopings, one 'Football God' only
knows how that game finished 1-1 and in Champions League
game, Bayern definitely deserved a goal but..... it is what it is.
Helsingborgs v AIK. Interesting game between two teams
which are trying to find 'their good selves'' however, there are
many ups and downs in their performance. The hosts come
from 2 straight wins and they look quite 'sharp' although they
did not face strong opponents so far and AIK can put them
into the 'test'. 
AIK on the other hand, had a 'tough' schedule so far and
they did generally good. I give the edge to the visitors but I
find stronger probabilities in the Over 2.5 goals market.

Sundsvall v Kalmar FF. Impressive start from Sundsvall who lost only one game so far
and that was mainly down to  bad luck and the red card in the game against Gelfe.
Although they are not having a 'good time' when Kalmar visit them at home, I can't ignore
the host's brilliant current form. If you are not 'convinced', then the Over 2.5 goals offers
very good value and could cover 'any eventuality' this game could through on us. 

Hacken v Gefle. Is a 'must win' for the hosts but after having a look to their current form,
do they really deserve to be favoured with a price as low as 1.55? (average)
Both teams are low scoring and Gelfe plays defensively in away games. Against all odds,
I will take my changes by betting on Under 2.5 goals market where the value is great.

Elfsborg v Djurgardens. Two teams which both started with high hopes and ambitions this
season, really disappointed their fans with latest results. Although it looks a Draw game, I really 'can't put my finger on it'. I close my eyes and bet on Both Teams to Score.

Hello folks. 100% success we had yesterday as all 3 picks landed! It was not easy when I could not
see those 3 goals coming on behalf of Hammarby as also the 'frozen' 1-1 score since the 1st half in
the game of Espanyol vs Celta.
Moving on to my picks for today, Sporting Gijon v Sevilla I expect a tough/close game from both
sides and I like the Under 2.5 goals in contrast with the game of Ath Bilbao vs Atletico Madrid
where I am expecting an open game. The Over 2.5 goals pays generously at Betfair's exchange as
high 2.54 (6/4) at the moment. (09:21am UK time).
In Norway, I am after some good and I expect goals in the game Sogndal vs Odd. Its about time for these teams to start scoring.
Best of Luck!

Good morning all. Spurs was the 'boss' in Stoke on Trent when Trabzonspor got hammered in their 'friendly' game. Malmo got away with the 3 points of win against a much better Elfsborg. Strange things indeed. 
Djurgardens v Hammarby. The hosts are a ''dark horse'' for the title this year and they showed great strength and character against difficult teams so far. Hammarby on the other hand does not surprises me at all in terms of their performance so far, and their ultimate goal would be to avoid relegation. Although 'surprises' can occur in football, I find good value to back Over 2.5 goals in Betfair's Exchange today.
Moving to Spain and Primera Division, oh gosh! Some fellow tipsters and sports magazines are giving me a headache with the 'big' topic for discussion ''What's going on with Barcelona ?'' 
​Well.. Allow me to say that a) Barcelona's players are humans and not robots and b) as mentioned previously, any team in any sports in the world can go 'out of good form'. Get real people! Specially Barca's fans, do you expect your team to win ever and ever for ever? Chill out a bit. So there is nothing wrong, period.
Espanyol v Celta Vigo. Tricky game for two teams which have up and downs in their performance recently. It is a very open game in terms of match odds and I ll put my faith in Under 2.5 goals.
Betis v Las Palmas. Strong record for the home team who lost only once since 2002 and they have never lost at home from Las Palmas since 2009. The visitors were shocking in the last game and 'threw away' a draw against Gijon. Betis equally drew away against Celta and they look in a good shape. Once again, it is such an open game but I would be surprised to see many goals. Under 2.5 goals, sounds a good option to me. 

Hello all. Plenty of football action for the next days as many leagues are on during the week. Without hesitation we start with our value bets and the game Stoke v Tottenham. After the Foxes' and Gunners' slip, Spurs want more than anything else to win this game. I expect an open game and Over 2.5 goals with scores 2-3 or 3-3 for full time result.
Elfsborg - Malmo FF. Great and traditional big teams of Sweden however, they both did not start well this season. I give the Edge to the home team which is in a better shape and back the scores 3-2 and 3-3, Over 2.5 goals.
Genclerbirligi v Trabzonspor. Although both teams are after 'nothing' except the 3 points of 'prestige', The visitors are a better side and can escape with the the victory at hand. Over 2.5 goals, scores 1-2 and 2-2 just to give the benefit of the doubt for the hosts.

Good morning from the rainy England! The European
domestic leagues have resumed since yesterday however,
I find this fixture quite 'tough' and 'challenging' for the
leagues at least I am following. I focus on three games where
the value is great and hopefully the 'risk' taken, will be
rewarding. 
AGF v Randers. Am I missing something and the
majority of the Bookies favourite Randers in this game? 
The hosts are are unbeaten for 4 games in a row and they
have played very good against top teams lately. On the other hand Randers, does not remind anything of the powerful team from previous years and to be honest, I
am not impressed with their performance in away games. AGF's attacking line is in a very good form
and I can't see a reason why not to score against Randers. Both teams to score offers great value at 
Betfair's Exchange  as high as 1.95 (nearly evens) as recorded at 04:37am UK time. 
Rizespor v Osmanlispor. The hosts managed to distance themselves from relegation zone and lately
have managed to get some good results. They want to maintain their good run and certainly the 3
points of win.
​Osmalispor has not given up yet their efforts to reach the 4th place which leads to the Europa League
and they are only 4 points away from it. Surprisingly they have not not scored for two fixtures in a row
and I think this will change today. Another draw is not option for them for different reasons and I
expect and open game with many goals. Against the odds, Over 2.5 goals offers great value. 
Sivaspor v Besiktas. It is a fact that the hosts are facing the 'relegation threat'. Their performance is
very inconsistent and.... unpredictable. No doubt that they will try to defend in the best possible way
against the 'aggressive' Besiktas but, can they do it? The visitors performed poorly lately and this
resulted two frustrating wins against Bursapor and Antalyaspor as also a defeat in an away game
against Kasimpasa. So..... if they want to be crowned Champions this is a must game. I count on their
ability to score first and early in the first half, leaving no choice to Sivaspor rather than to open their
game. Over 2.5 goals sounds good to me.

Hello folks. Oh what a football night it was! Barcelona has
been kicked out of the Uefa Champions League Competition,
Bayern Munich qualified with Over 2.5 goals score and the
derby in Turkey ended draw! 
However, the most important thing of all the above, was that
we had predicted them with 100% accuracy!
At this point, I would like to thank you all for your kind
messages you sent me via this page, facebook and twitter as
also thank you for your donations. (You know who you are)
The US MLS Soccer kicked off this season with quite a few surprises specially when the average of
goals per game is just 2.58. In 52 games so far, 25 of them ended with home wins, 17 games ended
with draw, and only 10 were away wins. What am trying to say is that I find extremely high the
percentage of drew games and low the average of goals. Having said that, I am expecting a low
scoring game between Kansas City vs Colorado. Although the hosts are in a good generally form,
they won under a significant frustration the latest two games at home. The visitors are playing quite
'tight' in away games and they show me that they are a 'hard nut to crack'. Am not sure if Kansas is
the favourite team in this game but I find good value in the Under 2.5 goals where the price is really
good, nearly evens (1/1) at Betfair Exchange.
San Jose Earthquakes v New York. The hosts started really good this season and are unbeaten at
home but they conceded goals in 4 out of 5 games. New Yorkers are not doing well at all and they
are still 'looking' for their first away win. They don't play bad, it's just the fact that they are not effective.
Although I give the edge to San Jose, I find good value in Both teams to score.
Portland Timbers v Dallas. I really like these teams so far this season. They play nice, open,
fascinating and 'offensive' football. Dallas is performing slightly better in away games rather than at
home, and I think they have an edge over Portland. Nevertheless, if they win, they will not leave the
game 'unscratched'. Both teams to score sounds a good choice to me.
Generally speaking, I am not going crazy today and I will bet just a small amount, mainly because
there is no much value and because these are still early fixtures in US MLS. I would suggest a just
'conservative treble', have a beer and enjoy watching the games. 

3/3 100% WON
Hello folks. As predicted, Real Madrid 'easily' went through to the next round by beating the German side 3-0. The score could be much higher if the ball would not stop on the woodwork and the Spaniards were a bit more serious to push the ball in the net. In the other game, Manchester City was a much better team than PSG and fairly the English qualify to the next round. Having said that, I am surprised that we did not see more goals in those games but after watching the games, I realised that Lady Luck did not favour the Over 3.5 and 2.5 goals markets.
Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona. Fernando Torre's red card spoiled all the fun for Atletico and Barcelona took advantage to change things around. As much as unfair it was for Atletico, things could be much worse for them although, the score 2-1 gives them hope. 
Barcelona is the Bookies' favourite to win the Champions League this year and.... Who can blame them? However, in terms of the team's current form, I think they might struggle against Atletico today.
Barcelona's defence conceded goals in five games in a row and failed to win the latest 3 games in Spanish Primera Division. This fact alone tells me that Barcelona is not at top form at the moment and is normal for all teams in the world to experience a period 'out of good form'.
The experts say that usually does not last more than 3-4 weeks unless there are other contributing factors.
I am not a big fan of Atletico Madrid mainly because of the 'dull' and 'conservative' football they play the last 2-3 years. Low scoring team compare to others which are high on the board. In their defence I have to say they are a very effective team and they look after their defence. Their current form is more stable and consistent compared to Barcelona's.
Against the odds, I think Atletico Madrid can take advantage Barcelona's poor form (if that continues today) and knock them out of the competition. I find it difficult to predict the Over/Under market simply because this will be depended on a) How strong defensively the Atletico would be and b) If Barcelona's 'out of good form' will continue today. So..... I back Atletico to win in 90' minutes even if that means the game could go to extra time. WON 
Benfica vs Bayern Munich. Bayern 'struggled' to win comfortably in the first leg and the 1-0 score 'sounds' fragile. I have predicted Under 2.5 goals in that game and.... When Bayern scored in the 2nd minute of the game, I said ''Oh dear.... Bet is lost'' BUT never say never because anything is possible in football. Both teams tried hard to score and there were many missed chances. It was just a matter of luck that game to end with one goal which gives a very small advantage for the German side. They have no choice but to play open and attack in order to 'secure' the qualification. On the other hand, the Portuguese can't sit back and defend but they will push high on the field try to score at their home.
Benfica is a very respected opponent but I can't close my eyes to the superiority of Bayern. Having said that, I will be extremely surprised to see these teams again loosing a dozen of chances to score.
There is absolutely no value in betting 'Bayern to Qualify' or to 'Win' but I find great value in Over 2.5 goals where price in Betfair Exchange pays as high as 2.12 at the moment (01:01 am UK time). WON 
Galatasaray vs Fenerbahce. Very interesting game in Turkey between two 'traditionally' top teams of the League.
The hosts are having a tough season due to the well known issues 'in and out' of the dressing rooms. They remain strong at home with only one defeat and they draw frequently. They have not lost from Fenerbache at home since since 2012. 
The visitors, want to win this game as a matter of great importance but.... Is their current form 'good enough' to get away with the 3 points of victory which allow them to close the 'gap' from Besiktas?
Since the dramatic 4-1 defeat in the away game against Braga, the team looks 'lost in space'. As a result, they suffered a draw against Osmalispor and a defeat away with Konyaspor. Today, backing the Draw sounds good to me. WON 

Good afternoon from the rainy Great Britain. The games yesterday were tough and they are looker tougher today in Champions League. Manchester City vs PSG. Pelegrinni's tactics 'paid well' in Paris and Manchester's attacking style was the key for the positive result. It was an awesome derby between two great teams which shared everything and draw was a very fair result. Today, both teams are missing a few players but I think it will have minimum impact to their performance.
The score 2-2 of the first leg gives advantage to the English who in my opinion will the play same way as they did. Stress is with the French team and the players know that any draw up to 1-1 score kicks them out of the competition and there is only one way to get through the next round. Go all out attack from the very first minute.
On the other hand English will attempt to do the same thing too and I look forward to watching one more exciting game where the Over 2.5 goals looks a very fair option. The highest prices so far are offered in Betfair Exchange 1.76 (8/11) as recoded at 15:40 UK time and the price is rising compare to other bookies who are not even close to 1.70! 
Real Madrid vs Wolfsburg. It was a lucky escape for me when I predicted like a 'mad man' the Under
2.5 goals of the first leg. Real Madrid was more shocking than Germans to deserve the respect of a great team because they are not. The only thing that could go wrong for Real Madrid today is called Zidane. Yes, I am afraid that he might not get the tactics right as he did not in Germany. Nevertheless, I think that Real Madrid's players will overcome the inexperience of their coach and will qualify to the next round with Over 3.5 goals score!

Hello folks. The 'surprises' continued the weekend just gone and it was very unusual to have such a low scores fixture in Norwegian Tippeligaen and US MLS. Similar situation in Spanish Primera and Turkish Super League! In contrast with the Swedish Allsvenskan  where the 'rain of goals' continued and my day better.
AIK v IFK Goteborg. More difficult than it looks AIK won the last game with score 0-2 away, against the 'newbies' Ostersunds. In fact, if the hosts had a little bit more experience they could get away at least with one point. But..... It is what it is and AIK got their first win of the season. Goteborg in the other hand managed to score an early goal against the Hacken and everyone thought they would have a 'nice' evening. However, Hacken gave them a hard time and fans where so frustrated to see that game finishing with 1-0. On the positive side, Goteborg's defence has been tested twice so far and they has not conceded a goal yet. Today I give the edge to Goteborg although I think we will not see many goals and the Under 2.5 goals sounds good to me.
Orebro v Jonkopings. The hosts smashed Helsinborg  with score 1-3 in away game when the 'newbies' Jonkopings triumphed at home with score 3-2 against Malmo. As I mentioned earlier in the days, I am impressed with the team of Jonkopings  as they play open and effective football. Orebro should not taken them 'lightly' and I would stay away from the Home's win. Over 2.5 goals it is a very fair option when both teams play good football and score frequently.
Malmo FF v Sundsvall. The hosts need to short out their defence as soon as possible otherwise I can't see them anywhere close to the Champion's title again. Sundsvall on the other hand, could not hold their 'nerves'. The red card allowed Gelfe to change things around and Sundsvall lost in the end with score 1-2! The visitors played well against AIK in the first match and drew 1-1. Can they grab a point from Malmo as well? Time will tell, but if this game do not finish with an Over 2.5 goals score, then something is really wrong in the football world.
Akhisar Belediye v Kasimpasa.  Nobody wants the draw in this game if they want to catch up with
Instabull B.B and close the gap to 2 points from the 4th place which leads to the Europa Qualification round. I think Kasimpasa was the edge in this game but Over 2.5 goals offers good value in a very open game.

Hello all. Exciting games are coming up starting with the
US MLS and I focus on the 2.5 goals market where I find
some good value. Although Lady Luck was not on our side the previous time, I think it is time she smile on us. (I hope
so)
Real Salt Lake v Colorado. Two with quite similar current form although, the hosts remain unbeaten. It is a tricky one
and I completely understand why even the bookies do not
give an 'edge'  to Under or Over 2.5 markets. ''Long story
short '', I think that Real Salt Lake have all the qualities to
'influence' Colorado to play open football. Over 2.5 goals offer great Value in Betfair Betting
Exchange when the Host's latest scoring record is excellent.
Ath Bilbao v Rayo Vallecano. The surprises continue in Spanish Primera Division and I would not
be surprised if we see one more in this game. The bookies, keep the price as low as 1.60 for
Bilbao's win when they count 3 defeats and 1 draw in the 4 last games. The visitors, are in a good
form, they score frequently and they have all the qualities to avoid relegation. Although the value is not
great I think this is one of the strongest Over 2.5 goals game by taking into account that both teams'
defences are a 'nightmare', Bilbao's morale is not great and Vallecano always 'surprises' us. 
​Brann v Bodo Glimt. Oh Brann, Brann, Brann is BACK! They returned to the Norwegian Premier
Division and these are only good news for the punters. A team which 'historically' plays open football
and scores frequently. They faced some strong opponents in the last 3 games and they remain
undefeated. I am almost certain that they are not just thinking how to remain in this division but also
how to finish in the top 3-4 top place of the board! In this game they face the 'tough cookie' Bodo Glimt
which is in a great form and it looks like they can continue their good run as last year. I expect an
open game from both teams and taking into account the 'Head to Head' history of Over/Under which is
10 against just 3, the price of Over 2.5 goals at 1.90 sounds amazing to me!
Gefle v Djurgardens. The Swedish Premier Division teams started quite 'sharp' this season and the
average of goals per game so far in just two fixtures is 3 goals. This is impressive. Gelfe started well
this season and they want nothing to do with the relegation zone this year. Today, they will be tested
against Djurgardens, a team which I think is a 'black horse' to win the title. 
They comfortably won away at Orebro and they smashed Falkenbergs at home without conceding a
goal so far. I expect an open game and early goals. Specially if Gelfe scores first, the Over 2.5 goals
should come through.

1/4 Lost
Hello all. What a day it was! I hope you did not ignore my
'warnings' for the games of Malmo and Real Madrid. It was
only a 'good thing' to turn my interest in different markets
rather backing the 'favourites'.
Today I focus on the Danish Derby of the Day..........
​Lyngby v Silkeborg. Although the hosts are 9 points
ahead from the 2nd Horsens (with one game less), these
are early days to crown them champions. They are still
unbeaten at home but Silkeborg will try to take advantage
of Lyngby's current 'average' form. Both teams to score is
a good option in a quite open and unpredictable game. Lost


Elfsborg v Hammarby. I really liked the way Elfsborg played against Hacken in the previous game,
but what I did not like though was the ''long list'' of missed chances to score. Hammarby did not play
well either against the ''newbie'' Ostersunds and they should be glad with the draw. Today I am
expecting from both teams to turn a few of their ''chances'' into goals, and the Over 2.5 goals pays
generously at Betfair's Exchange. WON
Ostersunds FK v AIK. The hosts played really well against Hammarby last week as I mentioned
above but now they face a much more experienced team as AIK is. Having said that, the visitors were
a disappointment in last game who they drew as well. I am not sure if anyone or who is going to win
this game but the Both teams to score market, sounds good to me. Lost
Europa League. I pick the Spanish ''war'' game of Bilbao vs Sevilla. Both teams are not in a great
form lately which resulted some poor results in Primera Division. I think is a game which can go either
way and more likely we will not see many goals. The Under 2.5 goals pays 1.95 (10/11) at the
​moment. Lost

4/6 Won Hello all. Sometimes there is a fine line between
winning and losing and this was exactly the case on Monday.
Yesterday we saw no significant ''surprises'' in European
Champions league except the Under 2.5 goals score in the
game of Bayern vs Benfica.
In different subject, the Scandinavian Leagues are underway
​and for you who don't know me, it is true that I am a big fan of
the Scandinavian football for quite a few reasons.
IFK Goteborg v Hacken. The hosts started well this season
and achieved a 'comfortable' away win last week against
Falkenbergs. Generally speaking, I think they are still a very
strong challenger to win the championship as long ...... they don't commit 'last minute results-suicides' as they did at the latest
fixtures last year. 
On the other hand, Hacken started also with a win last week. A
victory I would say against a very strong team as Elfsborg is.
Having said that, I think Hacken did not play very well, specially
in the second half and they had a 'lucky escape' with the three
points. Generally speaking, I am not expecting great things from Hacken this season and more likely
they will end up at a middle-position again. In today's game, the hosts are the clear favourite in my
view and I am quite surprised to see the price so high for their win. If you are not 'convinced' then
alternatively, the over 2,5 goals market offers equivalently good value. 1/2 Half Won
Jonkopings Sodra v Malmo. The 'newbies' in Allsvenskan start really good this season and they
could score more goals against Kalmar last week. Is too early to try to predict their future although, 
I was impressed with their performance.The visitors - Malmo looked serious against the champions
Norrkoping and turned that 'derby' to an easy win. Will they be a serious contestant this season or
they will lead to another disaster as last year? I find great value in the Over 2.5 goals market
in Betfair's exchange for two teams which their attacking lines look good!  Won
Norrkoping v Kalmar FF. I was a bit disappointed with Champions against Malmo, which were
'hammered' in the last game. I think they avoided somehow to get away just with a 3-1 score defeat.
They got to prove to themselves and to their fans that last year's trophy it was not a one off
coincidence, although I can't see repeating that achievement this year again. Kalmar it was a
disappointment as well in last game and although is to early in the days to jump in conclusions, I think
they will be among the teams for relegation this year. I don't expect any surprises in this game, easily or not, the hosts should win. Won

Champions League. Wolfsburg is one of the 'pleasant surprises' of the competition and I look
forward to watching them against Real Madrid. Having said that, today the hosts will not have
available a handful of important players and more likely they would look more their defence. Although
Real Madrid is the clear favourite today, I would turn to the value of Under 2.5 goals market with the
''attached risk''. Won
In the other game of PSG vs Man. City, I expect the hosts to come out of this game victorious in the
​second half. Lost

Hello all. Although  Monday's football tips have always been a 'challenge' for the tipsters due to the 'limited' number of games, sometimes it could be better just to focus on a small number of games and try to make the best out of them.
In Danish SAS Ligaen, things are straight forward regarding the winner and the relegation zone however, the interest is between the teams which claim the 2nd and 3rd places which lead to the Europa Cup. In today's game between Esbjerg v Viborg, is more a game of 'prestige'. The hosts have nothing to be afraid anymore in terms of relegation, they play better and 'stress free' football lately. The visitors are clearly an unpredictable team in 'away games' which achieved some great results so far. Overall, the draw in this game gather high chances but I think in the end Viborg would win this game with scores 1-2 0r 2-3.
In Turkish Super League, the champion and the relegation zone have not decided yet and this league is full of surprises. Today, Besiktas will be 'tested' away from home against Kasimpasa. I think many of you might still remember the 'incredible' 3-3 score of the first round but since then, the visitors have been improved and they operate much better defensively. The hosts in the other hand are not in a good form lately however, they play well against top teams at home. In an ideal world Besiktas should win 'easily' this game but against the odds I would suggest scores 0-2 and 1-1.
Rizespor v Kayserispor. A very deciding game between two teams which fight to avoid relegation. I would be really surprised if we see many goals in this derby and since draw is not an option for both, I go for the scores 1-0 and 0-1.
Spanish Primera Division. The 'surprises' continued this week with 8 out of 9 games finishing with Both Teams to Score. Levante is having a hard time this year and is not a joke anymore, they could be relegated. Sporting De Gijon in the other hand fights for the same cause and is a better team than the hosts in my opinion. Although the visitors would be ok with the point of draw, I would be surprised if we see another draw in this fixture. I expect a tight game and I would go for scores 0-1 and 1-0 so...... Le the best team win!

Hello folks. All  football leagues around the world resume today after the International games ended just a few days ago.
AaB v FC Nordsjaelland start soon and the visitors are more dangerous team than they look. The hosts have a fierce attack but vulnerable defence. I expect from FC Nordsjaelland to take advantage.

In Norway, although these are 'early days' for 'serious betting', Molde has to face their 'demon' Lillestrom. The visitors one way or another, they find the way to push the ball in Molde's net.

In Spain, Rayo Vallecano hosts Getafe in a very deciding game. The hosts are missing a handful of important players today and...... I don't 'blame' the bookies for pushing up the prices for the home's win. I expect an open game and let the best team win.
