Alaves vs Athletic Bilbao - Game Preview

17/12/2018

Dangerous exodus for Bilbao tonight who intend to break Alave's home unbeaten record so far this season. Last week, Athletic had 'sweat' to break the unbeaten away record of Girona on the 90'+ with a penalty and a frustrating win by 1-0.
Could the visitors triumph today as well? Potentially... Both teams don't have any serious injuries and I would say they are ''open for business as usual''. The bookmakers slightly favour the visitors in my surprise. Ok let's sum up. I don't think it's going to be an easy game for either team and my tip is 2-1 and 0-1 scores for inplay trading / cashout.
Yep, I know it's a risk to rule out the draw in this game.

Fenerbahce vs Erzurum BB - Flash Game Preview

17/12/2018

Hello folks. Will Fenerbahce turn a dark page in their football history today? Perhaps. The bookmakers have full faith on them and they dropped the price to a very unattractive 1.50 maximum.
In the end of the day is a ''derby'' between two teams by looking at their position on their leader-board and the visitors have a full squad. I like the scores 2-1 & 1-2 for inplay trading / cashout and the prices are great on Betfair Exchange at the moment as high as 9.00 and 26.00!

Hello folks. Today I will start my post with a question. Will Athletic Bilbao and Fenerbahce write the darkest page in their clubs' history this season?
Will they relegate for their first time ever? The Turkish club made a step towards that direction yesterday with one more ''unexpected'' defeat and .... Bilbao's team? Do they see Fener as an example to follow?

Ankaragucu - Basaksehir. The hosts remember their brilliant Head 2 Head history against the team of Istanbul but that was long time ago. Back to reality, today they will not have at their disposal the Big Gun El Kabir M. while Hopf J. is questionable. So... not much of a ''power of Ankara'' in my view. The visitors' unbeaten home record ended last week followed by an average performance at the latest Turkish Cup game.
Given the circumstances and the key players missing from Ankara's team, one way or another, they should lose this game today. I expect a low score game and my main tip is 2-3 goals. Scores 0-2 & 1-2 for the visitors.

Kasimpasa - Kayserispor. Once again, the visitors find themselves fighting to avoid the relegation zone and today they won't have an easy task against Kasimpasa. The hosts ''spit fire'' this season and fairly occupy the 2nd place of the leader board. Clear favourite for today's game however, I have noticed a significant shift of odds from 1.50 to 1.61 for the hosts' win and the draw plus draw scores, dropped unexpected in popular bookmakers' markets. My suspicion is that more players than officially announced are questionable from the favourite's side.
The visitors in the other hand, show much improvement against Trabzospor last week although they lost the game, the deserved better. In today's games they will miss 3 players but not important though. If Kravets is fit and joins Bulut at front, that would cause troubles to Kasimpasa's defence.
I expect an open game and Over 2.5 goals is my tip. Feeling adventurous? A split bet in 2-1, 3-2 and 3-3 scores offer great value for cash out / trading.

Ath Bilbao - Girona. So much faith Bilbao shown by the Bookmakers today but I don't see an ''easy miracle'' happening in this game. The hosts and visitors have an endless list of unavailable and questionable players in today's game and the lineups are a puzzle.
The visitors remain the ONLY unbeaten team in away games this season so far and if they will lose from Bilbao today, well.... that would be a surprise in my view. Is tough to predict a winner here but I favour less the hosts. My tip is Under 2.5 goals and let the best team win.

Betfair Exchange offers the highest prices for single scores betting and the most reliable cashout option.

Best of Luck!

Hola! The Spaniards kicked off their 15th fixture last night with Leganes escaping with a draw. In today's games, Head 2 Head history clashes with current form statistics and we could have surprising results or... not!

Atl. Madrid - Alaves. I hope we will not fall asleep during this game unless Alaves scores first. Under 2.5 goals gives surprisingly good value for an accumulator. For the Inplay punters my tips are Draw and scores 2-0 & 1-1 for cashout / trading. (Won - Traded* - Lost)

Valencia - Sevilla. I gave up on analysing this game. Under, Over, Draw, everything is possible so I put it aside and let the best team wins!

Villarreal - Celta Vigo. The bookmakers favour the hosts BIG TIME but I slightly disagree. Celta's squad is strengthened in today's game with a few key players returning but the question is one. Will this addition lead Celta back to their good performances? We will see. Over 2.5 goals is my main tip and scores 3-1 & 2-2 for Inplay cash
out. (Won - Traded* - Lost)

Espanyol - Barcelona. The hosts' downfall has no ending and am not sure how hard they will hit the ground or even.... the relegation zone! Barcelona in the other hand is of course THE Barcelona but is not the invincible team we knew. Over 2.5 goals is my main tip and scores 1-3 & 2-2 for inplay cash out / trading. (Won - Traded* - Lost)

WGood morning from the windy UK. It's a kind of tradition in 4LiveSports to publish free of charge most of our value bets/tips every year ahead the Christmas Holidays and we do hope once again to be successful. Please bet responsibly and follow always the golden rule: ''never bet more than you can afford to lose''!

Sivasspor - Goztepe. The hosts throw everything they got against Top teams of the league but when they play at home against mid table or low table teams are a disaster.
The bookmakers are very cautious and the price high for the home win. Do you think that's value? It could be. I expect a tight game and low score result. Under 2.5 goals is my main tip and scores 1-0 & 0-1 for inplay cash out/trading. It could be a well deserved home win or another bad Sivasspor's performance. (Won - Traded* - Lost)

Trabzonspor - Konyaspor . Game on! Both teams come forward today and prove if they are ready for ''big things'' and knock the door of the next year's European tournaments. Draw is not favouring any team but it could be the final result. I expect an interesting game with 2-3 goals with score 2-1 or 1-1 for In Play cashout / trading. (Won - Traded* - Lost)

Galatasaray - Rizespor . The hosts' fortress still stands unbeaten this season and the visitors haven't won a single game against them since 2004. If Galata wins this game goes 3rd clear on the leader board and leaving Besiktas on the 4th place. Why the price is so high on Betfair's Exchange as 1.55 at the moment? I am not sure. I find value in Over 2.5 goals and scores 2-1 & 2-2 for inplay cash out/ trading. (Won - Traded* - Lost)

Hello guys. December did not start well for me and it was a horrible,horrible,horrible day. Having said that, it was a matter of time for the trend to change in Spanish La Liga. Teams which were going Under 2.5 goals for a long time, had a breakthrough yesterday.
Valencia, can only blame themselves (and the ''Lucky Star'' of Real Madrid) for not been able to score. In Turkey, Instabul lost at home with a socking 0-1 although the Under 2.5 goals landed successfully. I am not going to say a lot about Trabzo, yes I was expecting their win but not with a net score 0-2 as the game had an insane pace for at least 4-6 goals.

Moving on to today's games. I am going after high value with an equivalent amount of risk so.. it's not for the heart fainted punters but for the ones who would like to go against the odds and be potentially rewarded.

Draws Hunting! In English Premier League, Mr Ranieri returns to Stafford Bridge with Fulham team this time. I suggest draw for inplay trading and split bet in scores 2-2, 3-2 and 3-3. The Londoners Derby see Tottenham in a slightly better form than Arsenal but again the Draw factor is high for inplay cashout. Scores 1-1 & 1-2. In Liverpool, I expect from Everton to give a hard time to the hosts. After all is a local match and Everton is in a good shape. Draw for cash out trading and scores 1-1 & 2-2.

In Spanish La Liga, Alaves v Sevilla game shouts to me that could be the Draw of the day 1-1 and 2-2 scores.

In Turkish Super League, the game Bursaspor v Erzurum resumes the fixture and the hosts don't impress me much. The ''newbies'' Erzurum have the potential to keep draw for a sufficient time in play for cashout and I like the scores 1-1 and 0-0. Besiktas v Galatasaray is certainly GAME ON! It won't be easy for Besiktas but they might win in the end. I expect draw for inplay cashout and scores 1-1 & 2-1.

01/12/18 Spanish La Liga Value Betting Tips

1/12/2018

Hello all! Spanish La Liga kicked off yesterday with another ''unexpected'' surprise (not for me though) with Rayo Vallecano victory over Eibar with a net score 1-0.
This is another result which proves our point that we need to exercise caution when backing the ''favourites'' teams because their performance vary when they play at home or away.
Celta Vigo - Huesca. In Play, 16th minute in play and so far Celta are ''escaping with their lives. 1.60 pre game price was a gamble. Huesca plays really good and 2-1 or 2-2 scores stand a chance for inplay cashout.

Valladolid - Leganes . The game could end up from 0 to 2 goals and the bookies dropped the prices of Under 2.5 goals very low. I think there's no draw in this game and the team will score first, could win the game. 1-0 & 0-1 for inplay / cashout trading.

Getafe - Espanyol. Tough game in my view with now clear favourite. Under 2.5 goals is my main tip and scores 0-2 & 1-1.

Real Madrid - Valencia. What's going on in Real Madrid? Many people don't want to admit it but Ronaldo's departure makes the difference. Valencia has an awesome record of scoring frequently against Real and the Both teams to score looks good to me. Scores 2-1 & 1-1 for inplay trading because given the Real's current form in La Liga, I would not be surprised if they draw today.

In Turkish Super League I like Instabull's win at home with score 2-0 and generally I like the value of Under 2.5 goals in this game at price nearly 1.93 on Betfair's Exchange at the moment. Trabzonspor, is a far better team than their opponents today and I hope they will prove it. I expect a storm of goals in this game and the Over 2.5 goals sounds nice to me. 1-3 score for inplay cashout.

La Liga, Super League and Premier League Football Tips

26/11/2018

Hello all. La Liga run this week pretty much as predicted. An average of 2.55 goals per game so far, ''unexpected'' away and home wins and we had forecast the scores of Barcelona and Ath. Bilbao games.
A bitter taste though left the ''unfair'' lost of BTTS and 2-3 goals tips, as ''magically'' the winners got away with it. Real Betis last night lost their concentration just for 4 minutes and managed two concede 2 goals in a game which easily could end with a draw.

Real Sociedad - Celta. Game on! The hosts remain without a home win this season so far and consequently the team occupies the 13th position on the leader board. Today they are missing out a few key players and it will not be an ''easy job'' as the majority of Tipsters and Bookmakers think.
The Celts in the other hand, are just 2 points below RS and also a team which started very poorly although, they play fascinating football. Today they will also miss a few key players but this was always the case for Celta this season so far. The fact is that they perform much better and scored in all away games this year.
Against the bookmakers, I predict an Over 3.5 goals score in today's game and the Over 2.5 goals is paying out at a price 2.04 in Betfair's Exchange! Furthermore, I think the draw has high changes to remain for long time in this game for cash out/ trading and I can't say no to the scores 2-2 & 3-3 with Betfair prices 18.5 and 90.00 at the moment!

Goztepe - Basaksehir. If one team can bring down the fortress of Goztepe, then is certainly Basakhesir. The visitors do not have an easy mission today but is a gold opportunity to get 5 clear points ahead from 2nd in my surprise Kasimpasa. I predict we will watch a low scoring, tight game and the Under 2.5 goals market has the edge. 0-2 & 1-1 scores is my tip. Both tips won!

Burnley - Newcastle. Pure nonsense most of the results in English Premier League this season and sometimes is better to invest in lottery rather than betting on these teams unless, you have dreamed of the results. I was expecting more from the hosts to be honest but I fear they are in troubles and could be relegated this year.
The Bookmakers give a small edge to the visitors and I agree. Newcastle has been improved recently and they could snatch a point or three. I think is a draw game and low score result. Under 2.5 goals offer somehow ''ok'' value. No much great value for the scores 0-0 and 1-1 but could be one or the other the final score.

Hello all. All good in the end last night when Barcelona's result/score compensated us 100%! Unexpected storms of goals from Eibar and SD Huesca though.

Ath Bilbao - Getafe. Starts soon and I like the draw. 0-0 score offers terrible value so I split the bet on Draw and scores 1-1 & 2-2.

Sevilla - Valladolid. The hosts want to reach the top of the leader-board today but I value the visitors. Both teams to score is my value tip in this game.

Espanyol v Girona. Yes,yes I know that Espanyol are the favorites but I can't ignore that Girona is unbeaten in all away games so far if I am not mistaken. 2-3 goals is my tip and 1-1 anytime score.

Villarreal - Betis. I like the draw in this game but the score puzzles me. I will check better when the lineups are available and I will post my scores tips in the comment box below. Check later before the kick off!

Hello folks. After 14 days of an indoor recover of my voice, I can finally escape from home and am off to a road trip. So I go straight to the point.
As discussed a couple days ago, I expect a low scoring fixture in La Liga this week although ''hopeless'' Alaves could not get a draw.
Today I suggest the below value bets/scores mainly for inplay single betting/cashout and for the low value ones, a treble/accumulator.

24/11/18 Valencia - Rayo V - Both teams to score

24/11/18 Huesca - Levante 2-3 goals, scores 1-1 & 1-2

24/11/18 Atl. Madrid - Barcelona, Draw 1-1 & 2-2 scores, Both teams to score.

Spanish La Liga Football - 13th Fixture Preview

22/11/2018

Comments

Hola! After the UEFA Nations League football bonanza, the European leagues resume this
week. We have reached the 13th fixture of Spanish La Liga and here is the story so far.

The stats are courtesy of 7M Sports. Thank you!

What I find very interesting, is the considerably low average goals per game (2.53) and
the fact there is no clear edge between Home, Away or Draw games. I find this information
quite important because it tells me that we are experiencing a very ''unpredictable'' league
this season so far. The majority of teams perform inconsistently with ups and downs at
home and away games. Furthermore, 40 games out of 120 ended with a draw and this is
impressive.

I am sure at some point the trend with change but will it starts this week? I am not sure.

Perhaps I get it wrong that I suspect a further low scoring fixture between 2-3 goals
average in most games with an increased factor of draws again.

Leganes v Alaves. The hosts are a big ''enigma'' this season because they perform as a top team when they play at home however, they play so badly in away games.
Alaves on the other hand they are just about ''hanging with teeth and nails'' on the 4th place of the leader-board but it looks to me, the team is going out of form.
They travel to the outskirts of Madrid the though in mind that they have never won Leganes
in an away game since 2004. Furthermore, Alaves has many ''ups and downs'' in they away games so far.

Taking everything into account, I find value in split bet for Draw and score 1-1 for in play
cashout. Betfair Exchange offers the highest prices for single scores betting and the most reliable cashout option.

Best of Luck!

Newtown vs Connahs Q. Game Preview and Blocked Bets

21/11/2018

Comments

Game on! I will be travelling to Latham Park today and I look forward to watching this derby between two top teams of the Welsh Premier League.
Newtown remains unbeaten at home since the start of the season. The 3 points of win is important if they want to keep touch with the top 2 spots of the leader-board which lead to European tournaments next year. Their current form is good although, the manager keeps his cards 'fold' about the first 11s in today's game.
The Nomads are quite the surprise this season but can they keep up to the top work?
They currently occupy the 2nd spot on the table in a tie with TNS, Barry Town and they got two teams on their tail, just 3 points behind. Ahead today's match the manager stated: ''With injuries and suspensions along with another semi final on Saturday, there will be significant changes in the starting eleven as we use our squad to its fullest."
Now... That's interesting because despite the 'heavy' schedule in SCO BC and WAL LC games, I think those games are equally important as the today's game because if they win, Nomads would see themselves on the top spot of the table. In my view, we will see an open game with attacking strategies from both teams. Over 3.5 and 4.5 goals are my main tips for inplay cashout. Moving to value betting, I think the scores 2-2 and 2-3 stand a good chance. It could be the first loss at home for Newtown despite the issues Nomads face.

In blocked bets and as per image below, the bookies move fast in dropping the prices and blocking the markets in certain games. The Match odds are suggested for the circled teams. For more information and updates visit our page.

Γεια χαρά στη παρέα. Με αυτογκόλ κερδίσαμε τους Φιλανδούς και με αυτογκόλ χάσαμε από τους Εσθονούς. Όποιοι από σας έδωσαν σημασία στη δήλωση του Άγγελου μετά το νικηφόρο αποτέλεσμα πριν από μερικές μέρες, ο Έλληνας τεχνικός δήλωσε ξεκάθαρα ότι εμπιστεύεται όλους τους παίκτες της Εθνικής και θα τους δώσει χρόνο συμμετοχής.

Επομένως, δεν είναι κουβέντα ανωτέρων μαθηματικών για να καταλάβουμε ότι στη παρούσα φάση, πρέπει να ''ξεκαθαρίσει'' το τοπίο στην Εθνική ώστε να έχει καλύτερη εικόνα ο Άγγελος και να ξεκινήσει το στήσιμο της νέας ομάδας. Σίγουρα η ομάδα βρίσκεται σε κρίσιμη καμπή, χρειάζεται πίστωση χρόνου και υπομονή.

Αγωνιστικά, σε κακή μέρα βρέθηκαν οι περισσότεροι παίκτες μας και το πρόβλημα παραμένει στην τελική πάσα, στο ''τελείωμα'' των φάσεων και ειδικά όταν η ομάδα ανεβαίνει στο ημικύκλιο της αντίπαλης περιοχής. Σ΄ αυτό το σημείο παρατηρείται στασιμότητα και έλλειψη κινήσεων αλλά έστω και οι προϋποθέσεις για ένα απλό σουτ. Οι εναλλαγές του σχηματισμού 4-3-3 και 4-4-1-1 αποδίδει αρκετά καλά στον έλεγχο του παιχνιδιού.
Η ομάδα όμως χρειάζεται πολύ δουλειά. Πρέπει επίσης να καταλάβουμε ότι εδώ κτίζεται μια νέα ομάδα που δεν έχει καμία σχέση με τη θρυλική του 2004 και λίγο επί εποχής Σάντος.

Στατιστικά, στα θετικά για άλλη μια φορά είχαμε σχεδόν 67% κατοχή της μπάλας, 15 ανεκμετάλλευτα κόρνερ και 21 σουτ έναντι 4 των Εσθονών. Είναι πολύ σημαντικό ότι ελέγχουμε τα περισσότερα παιχνίδια όμως, το ότι δεν εκμεταλλευόμαστε την υπεροχή είναι άλλη υπόθεση.
Μην ξεχνάτε ότι κάποτε είμαστε εμείς που παίζαμε με 5 στην άμυνα (όπως παίξανε σήμερα οι Εσθονοί) και με 2-4 ευκαιρίες στο παιχνίδι παίρναμε τ΄ αποτελέσματα.

Εδώ όμως υπάρχει ένα μεγάλο ΑΛΛΆ! Κάποτε, είχαμε τους κατάλληλους παίκτες, με τη συγκεκριμένη τεχνική και σωματική κατάρτιση που τους ταίριαζε τέλεια ο τότε συγκεκριμένος τρόπος παιχνιδιού.

Η ομάδα περνάει περίοδο παρακμής διότι δυστυχώς από το 2004 ως και σήμερα, το ''ποδοσφαιρικό μας φυτώριο'' δεν κατάφερε ν΄ αναδείξει 5-6 ισάξιους και υψηλής εμβέλειας παίκτες. Πάντως, πιστεύω ότι υπάρχει φως στο τέλος του τούνελ.
Αλλά ξαφνικά.... για όλα φταίει ο Άγγελος που είναι μόλις 2 παιχνίδια στο ΄΄τιμόνι΄΄ της ομάδας. Είσαστε με τα καλά σας?

Επομένως, να χαλαρώσουν οι ΄΄ελαφροπατριώτες΄΄ που κράζουν και βρίζουν τους παίκτες μας, τον προπονητή και ότι άλλο χαίρονται και θυμούνται. Χαλαρώστε και παίξτε καμία μπιρίμπα βρε προπονηταράδες του καναπέ. Άντε να μιλήστε για τα χάλια της Αργεντινής ή και για την 5αρα ταρίφα που έκοψε σήμερα το Βέλγιο?

Όταν είσαι πραγματικός Έλληνας και αγαπάς την Εθνική σου ομάδα, την στηρίζεις πάντα και παντού. Οι παίκτες και ο προπονητής χρειάζονται τη στήριξη μας τώρα περισσότερο από ποτέ! Να μάθουμε να κερδίζουμε αλλά και να χάνουμε. Έτσι απλά!

Με αυτή τη μικρή, λιτή και ειλικρινή συνέντευξη μας ενημερώνει ο Άγγελος για τη γραμμή που θα χαράξει στην Εθνική.
Νομίζω ότι δεν χρειάζεται καν να αναλύσω τα λεγόμενα του, καθώς ο νέος
προπονητής της Εθνικής μας, δεν έχει ''κρυμμένα χαρτιά'' και είμαι απόλυτα
πεπεισμένος ότι όποιες αποφάσεις πάρει στο μέλλον, θα είναι καθαρά δικής του
επιλογής με μοναδικό όφελος τη καλύτερη πορεία της ομάδος.
Αν κάποιοι ''κακόβουλοι'' προσπαθήσουν να του επιβληθούν, ο Άγγελος απλά,
θα βάλει το καπέλο του και θα φύγει ως αξιότιμος κύριος. Αυτά εν ολίγης ....

Αγωνιστικά, τα είπε ο Άγγελος και συμφωνώ απολύτως μαζί του. Στατιστικά, η Εθνική μας είχε 67% κατοχή μπάλας και αρκετά περισσότερες ευκαιρίες απ΄ τους Φιλανδούς. Μια εμφάνιση που συνοδεύτηκε με νίκη. Δηλαδή, τι άλλο θέλουν ''οι προπονητές του καναπέ και της εξέδρας'' για να χειροκροτήσουν αυτή τη προσπάθεια? Το επαναλαμβάνω με κεφαλαία γράμματα:
''ΠΡΟΣΠΑΘΕΙΑ''.

Ρίχνω μια ματιά λοιπόν στη σελίδα της Εθνικής μας στο facebook και διαβάζω το ''προπονητιλίκι του καναπέ και της εξέδρας'' αλλά και τον ανθελληνισμό σ΄ όλο τους το μεγαλείο! Έπαθα σοκ! Άλλοι να χτυπιούνται ότι η Εθνική μας και καλά είναι όλο ''πασούλες στο κέντρο και δεν έχουμε επίθεση'', ''πονέσαμε τα μάτια μας πάλι'' κτλ.
Σιγά ρε μεγάλε! Πριν από το 2004 ή και με τη κατάκτηση του Εuro αλλά και μετά Εuro εποχής, θυμάσαι την εθνική μας καταφέρνει να παίζει επιτυχημένο επιθετικό παιχνίδι? Τονίζω ''επιτυχημένο ποδόσφαιρο'' ώστε όντως να σκοράρει η ομάδα περισσότερο αλλά και να παίρνει αποτελέσματα.
Σιγά ρε προπονηταράδες του καναπέ και της εξέδρας που θα πάτε να δώστε συμβουλές στην Εθνική Γερμανίας και Βραζιλίας για το πως οι Εθνικές τους θα μπορούν ρίχνουν τουλάχιστον 3-4 μπαλάκια σε κάθε ομάδα έτσι για πλάκα.

Καταλάβετε το! ''Ο σκοπός αγιάζει τα μέσα'' και τα παλικάρια μας παίζουν αυτά που ξέρουν, αυτά που μπορούν και είμαι πεπεισμένος ότι κάνουν ότι καλύτερο μπορούν από τη στιγμή που φορούν τη φανέλα με το εθνόσημο.

Αυτοί οι ανεγκέφαλοι και οι ''ελαφροπατριώτες'' που έχουν το θράσος να αποκαλούν ''άχρηστους και άμπαλους'' τους παίκτες της Εθνικής, να το
ξανασκεφτούν και να ανακαλέσουν.

Δεν υπάρχει χειρότερο χτύπημα για την Εθνική μας ομάδα, για το Έθνος μας, για τη χώρα ΜΑΣ, να προσβάλουμε τους ΈΛΛΗΝΕΣ που μας εκπροσωπούν.

Φυσικά υπάρχουν και οι ανθέλληνες που είναι ''μανούλες'' στο να σχολιάζουν ότι στραβό και κακό βλέπουν, αλλά μόνο τα κακά. Γιατί έχουν σκοπό και δόλο.
Αυτούς λοιπόν τους ανεγκέφαλους, τους ''ελαφροπατριώτες'', και ανθέλληνες να μην τους αγνοείτε, αλλά να τους συμβουλεύετε να ακολουθούν τη σελίδα του Ομάν ή της Ουγκαντας ή άλλης χώρας αν δεν αισθάνονται Έλληνες. Επιπλέον, ας μην το γυρίζουμε σε Δημοκρατία και ελευθερία λόγου γιατί εκεί πλέον πάει αλλού η κουβέντα.

Αφήστε λοιπόν τον καναπέ όλοι όσοι μπορείτε, και πηγαίνετε την Κυριακή στο γήπεδο να στηρίξτε την νέα προσπάθεια της Εθνικής μας απέναντι στην Εσθονία. Τα δικά μου μάτια προσωπικά, ΠΟΝΕΣΑΝ να βλέπουν την Εθνική μας να παίζει σ΄ άδεια γήπεδα! Στηρίζουμε πάντα την Εθνική με ήλιο και βροχή!

Το καταλάβατε?

Καλή Επιτυχία Άγγελε και στα παλικάρια της Εθνικής!

English Premier League and Spanish La Liga football forecast

11/11/2018

Comments

Hello everyone. Time flies indeed and I have not realised how quick we have reached the 12th fixture of English Premier League and Spanish La Liga football leagues.
What both leagues had yesterday in common, was a generally low scoring day and a quite high factor of draws. I think that will change today.

Alaves - Huesca. The odds are shifted against Alaves and to be honest, I don't understand why. On Betfair Exchange the price pay out 2.10 at the moment! One way or another I expect a Home Win and 2-3 goals in this game. The scores 2-0 and 2-1 stand a good change for inplay trading. WON

Barcelona - Real Betis. The hosts have the edge here but also.... the injuries. Their line up is a puzzle at the moment in contrast with the visitors who arrived in Barcelona with nearly full squad and... have improved recently. The Over 3.5 goals market payouts nearly 2.12 now on Betfair Exchange. WON

Rayo Vallecano - Villarreal. How bad things are for Villarreal's team? I guess we will find out today. Over 2.5 goals is my main prediction and I give an edge to the hosts with score 1-2 but I wouldn't also rule out a triumph of 2-1 score for the hosts. Half Won

Sevilla - Espanyol. ''Surprise, surprise'', the visitors are on the 4th place of the leader-board and that fact alone force the bookies to shift the prices for Sevilla. It's tricky, and personally I don't think that Espanyol will stay so high up on the leader-board for a long time BUT.... Today I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Over 2.5 goals is my main prediction and could be easy for the hosts with score 3-1 or escape with a 2-2 draw.
Half Won

Celta Vigo - Real Madrid. The hosts are such a fascinating team this year by playing open and attacking football. Celta has the 3rd highest scoring team and the 3rd highest home scoring on the league so far. Real Madrid is not convincing with so many 'hiccups' in away games this year and everything could happen today. Over 3.5 goals is my main prediction and Both teams to score 2 goals or more. WON

In English Premier League, I think it will rain goals today and Liverpool could win it with Over 3.5 goals.
Chelsea has never lost at home to Everton since 2002 in 23 games but... they drew 8 times. Over 3.5 goals is my tip and scores 3-1 & 2-2.
It shouldn't be a problem for Arsenal to win this game and I like the 1.70 price on Betfair at the moment.
Derby of the Manchester is ON! The bookies continue their strategy to completely underestimate United in this game and give a huge edge to City with a ridiculous maximum win price of 1.45 so... allow me to remind you that City has not managed to win at home against United the last 3 years. I expect at least 3 goals in this game and I would go for scores 2-1 and 1-2.

Best of Luck!

Hello folks! I hope you are well. Straight to the point because the games I am very interested start very shortly. In Swedish Allsvenskan things are getting complicated and I am wondering if we'll have more ''unexpected'' results today as well.
Elfsborg v Hacken - The visitors are back in the race for joining the Europa League again next year but..... they have to win this game first and continue their good run. Elfsborg is in a very good form lately and am not surprised to see the odds shifted for Hacken. Over 3.5 goals is my tip in this game.
Ankaragucu v Antalyaspor - ''The Power of Ankara'' started very dynamically this season indeed. In this game they share current form statistics with the experienced Antalya but their defence is not doing well at all. I expect Ankara to take advantage of it and see an open game and.. hopefully against the odds, it will rain goals. The Over 3.5 goals market offers great value.
Celta Vigo v Getafe - The word ''unpredictable'' fits perfectly the team of Celta and indeed anything can happen against them. Getafe in the other hand are more ''serious'' in their game and I think they will make it difficult today for the hosts. Over 3.5 goals is my prediction and let the best team win!
Bournemouth v C Palace - 3 points only separate the two teams today but the hosts have an ''unofficial'' advantage. Bournemouth plays well and scores frequently at their home but Crystal Palace shows us, they know how to get results when they play away. The H2H history suggests open games and goals. Once again, against the bookies I wil back the Over 3.5 goals.

Felling adventurous? A Lucky 15 & Fourfold anytime score 2-2 (except the game of Celta anytime 3-2) in the above games is well worth it.!

Best of Luck!

US MLS - All Eyes on New York's Derby!

22/8/2018

Comments

Hello folks. Game is on! It's New York City vs New York Red Bulls and just for 90 minutes a city can be divided in two.
Both teams are missing a handful of players tonight specially in defence lines and here is the question. Will these absences drive the managers to use defensive tactics today or we will watch an awesome open game?
I will take a small risk and count on that teams will play open football. The Over 3.5 goals market offers a ''fairly'' good value but certainly the scores 3-1 and 2-2 are offered by Betfair.com at prices 19.00 and 14.00 pre game.

Best of Luck!

18/08/18 USA MLS Soccer action night

18/8/2018

Hello folks! The Major League Soccer resumes tonight and the bookmakers suggest ''easy home wins'' as you can see at the image below. I couldn't disagree more. There are teams which are not currently in a good form, or the visitors are in better shape. Therefore I can't see how all these home wins will land.

Screenshot taken from OddsPortal.com

Seattle Sounders - Los Angeles Galaxy. The hosts are over the bad start of the season
and if they win this game, then certainly can knock the Play Offs' door. LA once again
disappointed their fans with the latest draw against Colorado as we had correctly
predicted. Seattle is in much better shape than LA but am not sure if that's going to be such an ''easy win'' as the bookmakers predict. The visitors perform much better in away games and this is fact. The Over 3.5 goals market offers great value and I like the scores 3-1 & 2-2 for inplay trading on Betfair Exchange. The simply offer the best prices!

Philadelphia Union - New York City. Game is on! Tough wins for both teams last week but this game is tougher for..... the hosts. NYC is far a better side and in an ideal soccer world they could escape with 1 or 3 points tonight. Over 3.5 goals is my main tip and scores 2-3 & 2-3 wouldn't harm for in play cashout.

Vancouver Whitecaps - New York Red Bulls. I got mixed feelings for this game. The visitors though are far better team and defend better when they' re playing away. If you really want to bet on this game then my suggestion is 2-3 goals full time and 0-2 anytime score.

Montreal Impact - Chicago Fire. I did not expect to see Chicago doing so bad this season. This is a crucial game for them but also.... an opportunity to snitch 3 points in this game because Montreal's recent performances have not convinced me. Not much value in Over 2.5 goals (if you don't mind) and I go for scores 2-1 & 1-2 for inplay trading on Betfair Exchange.

FC Dallas - Minnesota. Lets put it this way. If San Jose did it against Dallas then why Minnesota not? They played beautifully against LA and unfairly (in my view) did not win the game. Dallas in the other hand comes from 2 straight wins and the team clearly is not in a good shape. I expect a very open game from both teams and I like the value of Over 3.5 and 4.5 goals. SI wouldn't say no to scores 3-2 & 2-3 for inplay trading/cashout.

Sporting Kansas City - Portland Timbers. Another game which puzzles me a lot. The draw factor is high on this game although the odds favour the hosts. Although, the question is, would we see many goals? I am not sure and my estimate is 2-3 goals. Perhaps I got this wrong but the scores 2-0 and 1-1 offer great value if you really have to bet on it.

Houston Dynamo - Real Salt Lake. The list of unavailable players for tonight's game is quite long, specially for the RSL's team. Anything could happen in this game and I don't think Houston has a clear advantage. Against all odds, Under 2.5 goals is my tip if you want to bet on it.

San Jose Earthquakes - Toronto FC. If Toronto could win the next away game, I wouldn't imagine a more 'convenient' opponent. San Jose's performance has son many ups and downs since the beginning of the season and very fairly they are keeping the top spot of ''upside down'' leader board. Toronto has done beautifully lately, although unlucky against NYC last week. Both teams score and concede many goals recently and I like the value of Over 3.5 goals. Easily or not, I think Toronto will win the game with score 1-3 or 2-3.

Best of Luck!

14/08/18 La Galaxy vs Colorado Rapids Game Analysis

14/8/2018

Comments

Good Evening all. The mid week MLS action takes place in Los Angeles tonight and I look forward to watching this game. Before I start analysing it though, I would like to thank you for your nice personal messages you sent for our latest winnings.

The bookmakers predict ''easy win'' for the hosts again but hold on, I heard that last week against Minnesota as well. Let's check the facts. It's been a struggle for LA's team lately, mainly because they simply can't defend. In fact, their defence reminds me a children's playground where everyone's having fun.

Colorado Rapids on the other hand have been improved a lot recently and not long ago they won LA at home with a fair score 2-1. I think they travel stress free to Los Angeles tonight and the frustration clearly lies in the hosts' ''terrain''. Based on the current form and other factors I took into account, I think Draw has very good chances tonight unless the Zlatan's Goals show resumes.

I would be very surprised if we don't see at least 4 goals in this game but if you are a ''value hunter'', the Draw and scores 3-2 & 3-3 (single bets) for in-play cash-out sounds good to me. The prices are matching as high as 5.50, 26.00 and 85.00 at the moment on Betfair's Exhange.

Best of Luck!

Major League Soccer resumes tonight!

Good evening from UK folks! If you don't have to wake early tomorrow morning, then is really worth it to stay up all night for this soccer ''bonanza''.
A quick flashback to what happened so far during the last 2 days. It was a considerably low scoring weekend but hey, they can't keep ''raining goals'' all the time. Furthermore, we had just 2 home wins, 2 HUGE draws and 4 (hear,hear) away wins. Thumps Up for
Minnesota, Kansas, Vancouver, Philadelphia and Montreal because at least according to the bookmakers, these were the ''underdogs''. (Hakim, I hope by the way to like the above photo).

Toronto FC - New York City. Game is on! Both teams want the three point of win for different reasons but the draw factor is high in my view. I expect an open game from both teams and I like the value of Over 3.5 and 4.5 goals. Feeling adventurous? A small punt wouldn't harm, I have faith in scores 4-4 and 4-3 for inplay cashout trading.

DC United - Orlando City. The bookmakers clearly favourite the hosts in this game but I disagree. I can't ignore the Orlando's last 3-4 games and very good performances against respectable opponents. If there's some justice in this soccer world, it should thunder goals in this game today. Once again, the Over 3.5 and 4.5 goals sounds good to me and I wouldn't say know to score 3-2 & 4-4 for inplay trading.

Seattle v Dallas. Tough game for both teams which are recently in very good form. I expect a close game and I would go for scores 2-1 and 2-2 for inplay trading. I think Seattle is too good at home to lose this game.

Best of Luck!

English Premier League 2018 - 1st Fixture

10/8/2018

Comments

Hello folks! Manchester United started started with a win this season and set with the right foot for sure but I am wondering if all ''favourites'' will have the same ''fate'' in the upcoming games on Saturday.
What am I talking about? Let's put it this way, history tells us that the 1st fixture of the English Premier league is an ''enigma'' most of the times, and very rarely all the favourites win. In fact, the history has recorded unspeakable surprises so.. feel free to refresh your memory.
Clearly, the value is in Laying the favourites (betting against) or at least try to avoid the ''horrors''.
Can Newcastle take advantage of Spurs' long list of unavailable players for this game?
I think they can snatch a point or... three. Fulham is favourited by the bookmakers but I can't see Crystal Palace losing this opening game. Huddersfield..... or.... Chelsea? I like the Draw for in play trading and.. let the best team win! So much faith in Wolves and the underdog is Everton? Not sure about it.

Best of Luck!

Swedish Premier League resumes today!

Hello folks. First things first, thank you for the
nice messages you sent through about
our awesome results in yesterday's MLS
soccer. Please always remember to bet
responsibly.
AIK - Kalmar. The hosts puzzle me lately with their 'ups and downs' in their performance but still are on top of the leader board. They had quite busy schedule the last weeks with games in Europa and domestic leagues. Kalmar on the other hand surprised many (included me) with their shocking defeat at home last week. What should I expect today? Kalmar, due to their tactics perfom much better overall in away games rather at home. The visitors score frequently when they play away and the H2H history encourages my thoughts. AIK's defence is not at it's best and I think the team looks a bit ''weary''. I find great value in the market of Both teams to score where in Betfair's Exchange the price is offered higher than 2.25!
Djurgarden - Sundsvall. The weather forecast suggests thunderstorms during the game in Stockholm but will it rain goals? I think it will! Over 2.5 goals is my tip in this game and the visitors might take advantage that AIK tries to rest some key players on the bench. Correct scores 3-2 and 2-2 for inplay cashout stand a good chance.

Hacken - Orebro. The hosts disappoint me this season so far. I was expecting more from them specially against top teams, they have not managed to win a single 'derby' and consequently they see themselves far from the top seats of the leader board. Orebro on the other hand, had a brilliant start this season and seeing themselves far from the relegation zone. Having said that, they re not in a good form lately and Hacken is the favourite in this game. 2-3 goals is my main tip and Hacken to win with 2-0 or 3-0 score.

28/07/18 US MLS Analysis & Tips

28/7/2018

Day off and staying in tonight means only one thing. Look forward to watching US MLS
soccer! Let's get down to business and to the games analysis then.
New York Red Bulls - Columbus Crew. Both teams are high on the leader-board but hosts have the edge here. NYR are strong at home in contrast with the visitors who show a bad face away from home. 2-3 goals is my main tip, mainly because Crew is a bit hard nut to crack in away games lately. In an ideal world the scores 2-0 and 2-1 stand a good chance for inplay trading. (Bets lost final score 2-3)

Montreal Impact - Atlanta United. The visitors are in such a good form and they do brilliantly in away games so far. The hosts demonstrated some decent defending in recent home games and I expect a tight game. 2-3 goals is my main tip and ideally Atlanta could win the game with 0-2 or 1-2 score. (Bets won final score 1-2, both scores could traded)

Toronto FC - Chicago Fire. VOTD. For those who don't know, votd stands for Value Of
The Day. I disagree with the bookmakers for undervaluing Chicago so much in today's
game. Some betting companies don't even offer higher than 1.50 (eu odds). Toronto will miss a few key players tonight as Chicago as well and in my view, this fact quite balances the scale. Its a game that could go Over 5.5 goals as also a 'big fat draw'. Feeling adventurous? Scores 3-3 and Any Other draw offer great value on Betfair's Exchange.
(Bets lost final score 3-0)

DC United - Colorado Rapids. I think DC is too good to get relegated. Hopefully will ''rain goals'' as is a must win game for both teams. Over 2.5 goals is my tip in this game and score 3-1 for in play trading. (Bet half won, final score 2-1)

Sporting Kansas City - FC Dallas. Both teams will be tested tonight although Dallas has the advantage in my view. The H2H history favours the hosts but they will not have some key players tonight at their disposal. In terms of current form it's clear to me that Dallas should win this game. My Main tip is Over 2.5 goals but I wouldn't be surprised if we see more goals. Scores 1-2 & 2-3 for in play trading wouldn't harm.
(Bets won final score 2-3! pre game odds up to 46! (45/1)

Vancouver Whitecaps - Minnesota. Game is on! Can Vancouver put a break on the visitors' wins? I am not sure about it. Hopefully we ll watch an exciting game with many goals. Over 2.5 goals is my main tip and I put faith on scores 2-3 & 3-2... Let the best team win!
(Bets won final score 4-2 but score 3-2 remained up to 88' for cashout!)

San Jose Earthquakes - Real Salt Lake. GOTD. RSL is so good at home but so bad in away games. Can the hosts take advantage of it specially when RSL is missing a handful of good players today? I think despite their troubles, the visitors are too good to lose this game. Draw is my main tip with scores 1-1 & 2-2 for In play cashout/trading.
(Bet half won, final score 0-0)

Portland Timbers - Houston Dynamo. Tight game between two teams which share strengths and weaknesses in game play. The hosts though are slightly in better form. Over 2.5 goals is my main tip and easily or not, Portland could win the game by 2-1 or 3-2 score.
(Bets won, final score 2-1)

Seattle Sounders - New York City. Although NYC is ''cruising'' on the top spots of the leader-board and demonstrated some excellent defending in recent games, the bookmakers favour the hosts with a price 2.00 (eu odds) so far. There's no doubt that Seattle is in good form as well but has not the qualities of NYC in any case. I expect a tight game between 2-3 goals and in an fair football world NYC could escape at least with a draw. Scores 0-2 & 1-1.

Best of Luck!

Swedish Allsvenskan Football - 15th Fixture

28/7/2018

Comments

Swedish football resumes today!

Hello folks. The Swedish Premier League resumes today
with 4 games today, 3 games tomorrow and 1 game on
Monday. The bookmakers give a significant edge to 7
home wins out of 7 games in a row and I suggest
caution.
In my view, the greater value and the better chances of
winning are the goal markets and... Draws.
Goteborg - Brommapojkarna Another wasted season for the hosts who see themselves after 14 fixtures, just 4 points above the relegation zone. One word: ''Disaster''!
They fairly lost last week's away game against Sirius, and if it wasn't for the ten men Orebro's team the week before, I doubt they would win that home game.
Bromma in the other hand, they do much worse so far and travel to Goteborg with 7 defeats in 7 games so far.
In theory, it should be an easy win for the hosts but their recent form is not inspiring at all. 2-3 goals is my tip for this game.

Ostersunds - Elfsborg Interesting game between two teams which play open football this season and their defences are not at their best. The bookmakers give a small edge to the hosts due to their current form and position on the leader-board. Let's also don't forget the team is unbeaten for 7 games in a row. The ''Elves'' in the other hand are in a good form as well. Their recent results against top teams are brilliant and they distant themselves from the relegation zone as expected. Their unbeaten record of 6 games in a row ended last week against strong Norrkoping with 1-0 score however, the Elves played very well and gave them a good scare. In today's hand I see Over 2.5 goals market and Draw walking ''hand by hand''. Feeling a bit adventurous? The scores 2-2 and 3-3 offer great value for in play trading on Betfair's Exchange.

Dalkurd - Sirius ''Hour Zero'' for both teams I would say and we should expect an open game today. Draw could be a disaster but also could be a reasonable result. Over 2.5 goals is my main tip and worths a punt on 3-2 & 2-3 scores. May the best team wins!

Malmo FF - Norrkoping ''Easy win'' for the hosts the bookmakers suggest and I will say
''Thank you but no... thank you''. Although Malmo have improved their performance
recently, they had a tough schedule and games in domestic league and Champions
League. The visitors are ''cruising'' on the top 3 spots of the leader board with 8 points
ahead of Malmo and unbeaten for 8 games in a row.
I think this game comes at an ''inconvenient time'' for Malmo and the visitors are in a better form and are more rested. 2-3 goals is my main prediction for this game. Against the odds I would say no to scores 1-1 & 1-2 for inplay trading.

Best of Luck!
