Speculative on St Nicholas abbey to place in a 50/50 race in France. Galikova in France too should be competitive.
Pre Champions League for Barca. But really at 2-0 up these bets should be layed off on betfair to guarantee your stake is returned. 2-0 is the bare minimum. 2-0 up to an hour so the odds to lay off were minimal.
A winning trade for me, but an official losing bet in a day of plentiful opportunities.
1130am - Juventus v Parma - 1.51 home - 1st match of the season so all we have to go on is 1) last season 2) head to heads 3) transfer news.
| 15.05.2011 | D1 | Parma FC | 1-0 | Juventus FC | |
| 06.01.2011 | D1 | Juventus FC | 1-4 | Parma FC | |
| 09.05.2010 | D1 | Juventus FC | 2-3 | Parma FC | |
| 06.01.2010 | D1 | Parma FC | 1-2 | Juventus FC |
Plenty of activity in the transfer window might make this match a watching brief as the team might change considerably.
8 wins, 6 draws, 5 defeats at home for Juve last season. 74% of matches over 2.5 goals last season at home.
Parma only won 4 away last seasn ( once against Juve).
Parma a little less obvious in the transfer market - lots of loans and freebies.
against top 11 last season, they lost 7, drew 2 and won 2.
Watching brief advised on first match of the season especially to see Juve team.
1245pm - Esbjerg v Roskilde - 1.47 home
HEAD TO HEADS
no head to heads
LEAGUE POSITION - 1st v 5th after 4/5 matches
HOME TEAM - ESBJERG
RECENT HOME FORM - WW - scoring 5 and 3.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - WLWW scoring 5-2-3-2 - loss v current 8th - 9-5-3-2 goals in total.
GOAL TRENDS - Esjberg have scored 8 goals in the 70th+ minute of matches so traders fear not if they have not scored up to 70th minute
STREAKS - no draws
AWAY TEAM - ROSKILDE
RECENT AWAY FORM - DL - 1-1 and 1-0 scorelines.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - DWLW - wins have come at home and seen plenty of goals.
GOAL TRENDS - n/a
STREAKS - no win away yet.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - Esjberg have been impressive at home, scoring plenty and this league has the feel of a goal laden league but Roskilde are not pulling rank away from home as regards scoring goals. If Esjberg gave scored 5 and 3 in 2 at home, it hints at a capability to at least get the first goal here?
130pm - Norwich v West Brom - 2.66 home
no head to heads of relevance here
15th v 19th so far and 2 "championship" teams.
Norwich team news
Norwich youngster Declan Rudd will deputise for suspended goalkeeper John Ruddy.
Centre-half Zak Whitbread (hamstring) is a doubt, but striker James Vaughan, a summer signing from Everton, could make his debut after recovering from a knee injury.
However, defenders Daniel Ayala and Elliot Ward (knee) remain out.
West Brom team news
Midfielder Zoltan Gera is in contention to make his first appearance since rejoining the club.
The Hungary international was suspended for the opening three games while also recovering from ankle surgery.
Albion are optimistic striker Peter Odemwingie will be available after his recent ankle setback but his strike partner Shane Long is rated only 50-50 to recover from a calf injury by Baggies head coach Roy Hodgson who is seeking a first league win of the campaign.
squads
Norwich City: Rudd, Tierney, de Laet, Barnett, Naughton, Pilkington, Crofts, Johnson, Hoolahan, Morison, Holt, Matthews, C Martin, Bennett, R Martin, D Fox, S Jackson, Whitbread, Vaughan.
West Bromwich Albion: Foster, Fulop, Reid, Dawson, Tamas, Jara, Olsson, Shorey, Mattock, Scharner, Mulumbu, Thorne, Thomas, Morrison, Dorrans, Brunt, Gera, Odemwingie, Long,DDL so far for Norwich this season. - 1-1 draws against Wigan and Stoke and I would lump WBA in this those 2 sides as "championship" style teams.
Sole loss 3-1 away to Chelsea where they were let down by conceding 2 late goals.
LLL for WBA but no tougher starts than Man Utd and Chelsea , albeit very unlucky not to have come away from those 2 matches with something. 3rd loss a very very very unlucky 0-1 v Stoke - 90th minute goal.
I expect a tight match but a hint perhaps that the nouse of Woy might see WBA win a very tight match.
Norwich still an unknown aren't they - only 3 matches in - LET'S BE AVENUE!!

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - PSV should replicate the 2 and 4 goals that Ajax and Twente scored against VVV. Look for over 3.5 goals as most speculative

Roma have won the 2 recent home matches.
5 new players £10 million or bigger includes the capture of the excellent Bojan - a lethal goal scorer from the Barcelona mould. Vucinic the big name out.
Top 6 finish for Roma last season.
Only 3 losses at home last season against 3rd , 7th and 8th.
Matri out for 15 mil must be a significant player for Cagliari last season.
7 losses and 2 draws against top 9 away last season.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - what were the quality of the teams jablonec have recently scored 4-4-5 against? And how strong are they compared to today's opponents. 1.56 does not indicate a 4 goal win, but might be a good price.

LEAGUE POSITION - 18th v 20th of 20 signals a poor start to the league campaign. Is there any sign with new signings of improvement/ let's see. B Ruiz from Twente is the most significant signing for Fulham.Kakuta on loan from Chelsea - talented but inexperienced.
Jones a £19 million sale for Blackburn to United and they really have not bought any household names.

HOME TEAM - FULHAM
RECENT HOME FORM - 0-0 v Villa.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - DLL - losses away to Wolves and Newcastle - only one goal scored ( 88th min) for Fulham this season - is B Ruiz a centre forward?
GOAL TRENDS - only scored 1 all season ( albeit only 3 matches)

I like clean sweeps, especially when 5/6 matches had clean sheets.
LEAGUE POSITION 10th v 9th after 5 matches.
HOME TEAM - Anderlecht - Lukaku a £22 million purchase by Chelsea must have been an influential player with that price tag.
RECENT HOME FORM - WD - scoring 3 and 2 - Anderlecht down to 10 men for the draw and also scored one of Mons goals.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LWWDD - shock defeat to newcomers and 2 score draws. Anderlecht must address this leaking in points. 2 matches with a draw -this sequence must end.
GOAL TRENDS - both home matches over 2.5 goals.
STREAKS - 2 match score draw streak
AWAY TEAM - KORTRIJK
RECENT AWAY FORM - DL - 0-0 draw and 3-1 loss - only scored 1 so far away from home.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - DDWLW - Kortrijk have 2 draws and a win against those occupying the bottom 3, but remember only 5 matches played.
GOAL TRENDS - Kortrijk have kept a clean sheet in 3 of last 4, but lost 3-1 to Standard Liege, a side which should be on a par with Anderlecht.
STREAKS - no draw in 3
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - if I was the Anderlecht coach, I would target this match to end the draw sequence which is hurting Anderlecht. I cannot view last year's table on soccerstats for the Belgian leagues so cannot get an idea re Anderlecht at home. this match could replicate head to heads and be a win to nil for the home side.

LEAGUE POSITION - 3rd v 7th after 3 matches
HOME TEAM - BRAGA - only 4 losses for 4th placed last year at home.Scored 3-2-2-5-3-3 at home v bottom 6, and I know I am being a little presumptuous, but as newcomers gil Vicente might find themselves in the bottom 6. Nuno Gomes in on loan this season - a good signing. Braga have sold 2 players to Ath Madrid for £5 million and £8 million, but are cashstrapped as far as spending is concerned.
RECENT HOME FORM - 2-0 win against Maritimo.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - DWW - yet to concede but hey let's not get carried away - only 3 games.
GOAL TRENDS - yet to concede. All matches under 2.5 goals. All Braga goals so far are 2nd half goals but again 3 matches to go on makes for weak trends.
STREAKS -unbeaten so far.
AWAY TEAM - GIL VICENTE
RECENT AWAY FORM - 3-1 loss to Porto - welcome to the top flight!
RECENT OVERALL FORM - DLW - already played Benfica and Porto so meeting the big boys early on. Have conceded 2 and 3 against top 2 of last year
GOAL TRENDS - have scored in all matches so far. Gil Vicente generally late goal scorers bar an early penalty v Porto.
STREAKS - n/a
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - 2-2 and 3-1 v 2 of the big guns ( Porto 84 points, Benfica 63 points, Braga 4th on46 points last season). Can Gil Vicente continue to score as they have done? Braga should not lose at home this afternoon and could conceivably score 2 minimum if their performances against bottom 6 last season at home are a guide.

RECENT HOME FORM - DLD -draws both 2-2 against 2nd and 4th - 4 dropped points.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - DWLLDDL - no win in 5.

STREAKS - 7 without a draw.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - still early in the season here but still a surprise to see Brondby where they are. Down really to the draws I suspect. Koge look opposable all hands down and safety might be achieved by involving both sides in an over 2.5 goals trade.

LEAGUE POSITION - 9th v 15th
HOME TEAM - Valeranga
RECENT HOME FORM - WDLWLDWDW - 2 losses at home have come against top 3 - against the bottom 2 ( of which Start is one) Valeranga have posted 3 2-0 winning scorelines. Coincidence?
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LDWWWLDWLLDDWW - inconsistent as you can tell by the L D W following each other. 4 losses have come away to top 7 again suggesting Valeranga should not lose outside the top 7. 5 draws this season all score draws.
GOAL TRENDS - 33% overs at home down to 3 2-0 score lines and 2 1-1 score lines. Only 1 on last 4 matches over 2.5 goals but again 2 1-1 scorelines and a 2-0 scoreline. Have failed to score in only 3 matches this season -2 of those were away.
STREAKS - No defeat in 4 at home. No defeat in 4 overall.
AWAY TEAM - START
RECENT AWAY FORM - WLLLLLLLLL - not a draw in sight away. Have scored 1 goal in 4 of the 6 losses against top 7 away. Sole win away against 14th ( or 3rd from bottom)
RECENT OVERALL FORM - LLWLLLDLLLLLW - recent win against bottom side perhaps tells you Start's current capabilities. Both wins v bottom 3 sides. Only 2 draws this season, both at home and both 1-1.
GOAL TRENDS - 50/50 overs away from home.Have failed to score in half away matches.Average scored away a poor 0.60 and conceded a poor 2.30. Recent run of 4 matches over 2.5 goals ended with last 2 matches unders. Have kept a clean sheet in only 3 matches this season, 2 of those were at home.
STREAKS - 10 without a draw away, 6 overall. Current losing streak of 9 away
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - what has happened to Start? They seems competitive up until 2 head to head matches ago? Now it seems they are in decline, only able to beat bottom 3. This suggests valeranga could win 2-0 and keep their under 2.5 goals tally at home. They won 2-0 against bottom 2 home and away.

RECENT HOME FORM - DWWWDWLWW - solitary loss 1-0 v 2nd placed Zenit.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - WWLDWDLWWLWD - only 3 losses recently v 2nd 3rd and 5th indicate potentially easier assignments outside of the top 5.

GOAL TRENDS - 2 wins, 8 losses, 1 draw, 1 clean sheet - 0.82 scored, 1.73 conceded on average away.
STREAKS - lost 5 of last 6 matches.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - expectation rife with the splashing of the cash and especially the arrival of Samuel Eto'o who should fill his boots. Solid home form for Anzhi should help with the win. Only loss at home was v 2nd.

GOAL TRENDS - 2 losses, 1 draw, 1 clean sheet away.0 scored , 2 conceded on average.
STREAKS - 2 match losing streak away.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - Dinamo Kiev should win easily. A superb home record over nearly 50 matches means morelikely to win. Over 2.5 goals includes both sides. Possible to push to over 3.5 goals.?

Only 1 match for Pana sees them win 0-2 away at Kerkira.
Well fancy that! A 0-0 for Giannina in their sole match this season at home to Aris.
Pana only lost 1 at home last season. Giannina are newcomers to the top flight.
Hard to tell what will happen here -typical unders matches the last 2 but at home in the league in 2009 Pana won 4-0. In any case, they must win in order to keep tabs on runaway winners last year Olympiakos.

RECENT HOME FORM - DWLWWWWWWW - only 1 loss at home v rosenborg 0-2 somewhat flattering as they scored their 2nd in the 93rd minute.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - WWLWWLWWWLWWWWWLWW - solid overall form sprinked with the odd losses v 7th 8th , 14th, 16th away. ( yes lost to 2 of bottom 3 away).
GOAL TRENDS - 70% overs at home.2.5 scored, 1.2 conceded on average at home. 7 of last 8 matches over 2.5 goals. Have only kept 4 clean sheets in 21 matches.
STREAKS - 7 match home winning streak. No draw in 9 at home and 18 overall.
AWAY TEAM -BRANN
RECENT AWAY FORM - WDWLLLWLWD - I was just going to comment on no away draw in 7 until the final away match. Have lost against 2nd and 4th away. Mixed bag from Brann away makes them tough to read - inconsistent teams are a nightmare for anyone trying to find an angle.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - LLWLDWWWLWWDDD - a team who have drawn their last 3 meet a team without a draw in 18!! What will give? Only 1 loss in last 9 was away to 11th in the league - again inconsistency!
GOAL TRENDS - 70% overs away from home tallies with Molde's home stats - congruency here.2 scored, 2.2 conceded on average away from home. Last 3 matches under 2.5 goals and also draws. recent draws v 2nd, 4th and 5th. Significant as they are playing 1st today and they haven't drawn in 18.
STREAKS - No defeat in 5 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - it looks as if both teams are pulling in the same direction with 70% stats for over 2.5 goals. Standout stat for Molde - no draw in 18 matches but today they play a team who have drawn last 3 against 2nd, 4th and 5th.

Inter have not lost in last 6 head to heads.
5 losses and a draw v top 7 away for Inter last season, but generally they had a degree of solidity outside the top 7.
Palermo at home last season did not draw against top 13.
Only 5 draws overall for Palermo last season.
Pannizzi , Alvirez and Ranocchia new signings for Inter.
Eto'o the big absentee and what a miss he will be upfront!
Again not much to go on, and we need to see how Inter have replaced Eto'o.
240 CURRAGH
BETTING FORECAST: 2/1 Yellow Rosebud, 4/1 Rubina, 5/1 Princess Sinead, 8/1 Coral Wave, 8/1 Lady Wingshot, 8/1 Soon, 9/1 Devotion, 14/1 Lady Rochford.
SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: Using Maybe, who perhaps tends only to do enough, as a form yardstick may not be entirely bulletproof. Even so, YELLOW ROSEBUD (nap) showed in getting to within 2 1/2l of that brilliant filly here last time that she is high-class and, having had only two runs, ought to have more progress in her. Lady Wingshot and Coral Wave are both interesting at their envisaged odds, while Rubina and Princess Sinead have the form to figure. [Johnny Ward]
8 runners, 3 places and a Weld/Smullen favourite -interesting. - now 7 runners so increased probability of finishing in the first 3.
415 CURRAGH
BETTING FORECAST: 4/6 Cityscape, 7/1 Future Generation, 7/1 Wild Wind, 9/1 Emiyna, 10/1 Hujaylea, 10/1 Taameer, 14/1 Across The Rhine, 33/1 One Spirit.
SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: CITYSCAPE has never won at a higher level than this but the form he has showed in better races renders him a standout and it is hard to oppose him. The remainder are quite closely matched, with the admirable Hujaylea given the nod to chase home the selection, just the sixth runner Roger Charlton has brought to Ireland in the past five seasons. [Johnny Ward]
Now 6 runners adn the huge price gapper remains - easy probability chance for Cityscape reflected in the odds alas - 1.09 to place

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: GRUMETI (nap) has been steadily progressive this term and may have more to offer, particularly now he's returned to a forecast easy surface. Loyaliste may build on his recent course success, while Aktia is on her last winning mark and in the right hands to get her career back on track.[Steve Boow]

BETTING FORECAST: 13/8 Plan A, 5/2 Salute Him, 4/1 Takeyourcapoff, 9/2 Definite Class, 10/1 Knockcroghery.
SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: The four-year-old PLAN A might not be a certainty to do justice to an official rating of 134 but could still have an edge over course winner Salute Him and Takeyourcapoff who share a mark of 123. [Alan Sweetman]
I used to live a short drive from Listowel and it is " fierce craic". Ruby Walsh returns today and his first ride is Salute him.
1pm LONGCHAMP
SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: This is very much being used as a prep for Sarafina, and the two Japanese runners have a bit to prove for one reason or another, so it's hard to get away from ST NICHOLAS ABBEY. A slow pace seems assured, so it's hoped his new rider is alert to that fact and allows him to stride on. [Mark Brown]St Nicholas Abbey 1.75 to place in a 50/50 race.
315 LONGCHAMP
SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: Testosterone could be dangerous if allowed an easy time on the front and Olivier Peslier will need to be alive to that fact aboard GALIKOVA. However, the selection is expected to come into her own now upped to 1m4f and can announce herself a legitimate Arc contender with victory here. [Mark Brown]
10/11 - - -4/1
SHORTLIST
130pm - VVV v PSV - 1.25 away - Twente slip up yesterday MUST be exploited by PSV in such a tight league.
5pm - Anderlecht v KV Kortrijk - 1.35 home - I like the head to heads 5/6 feature clean sheets for Anderlecht. This is a must win really to end an irritating draw sequence which is leading to leaking points.
530pm - Anzhi Makhachkala v Volga Nyzhnyi Novgorod - 1.21 home - the next Russian revolution, care of a cheque book? eto'o to debut with a few goals?
530pm - Dinamo Kiev v Illychivets - 1.18 home - only 1 loss in 46 home matches should help Kiev here - the odds as ever point to a 3/4 goal win.
240 CURRAGH - Yellow Rosebud out as I write and this becomes 6 horses and 3 places - default to the Murtagh/Oxx Rubina?
415 CURRAGh - Cityscape excellent place only chances alas reflected in the odds.
1pm LONGCHAMP - St Nicholas Abbey must have a chance in a 4 horse race for 2 places - likely trial for Sarafina? Value today on the Abbey
315 LONGCHAMP - Galikova 10/11 - - -4/1 price gapper and around 1.3 to place - must run well in order to be considered Arc material - only 2 places.
