HEAD TO HEADS
19.01.2011 D1 AFC Ajax 2-0 Feyenoord
19.09.2010 D1 Feyenoord 1-2 AFC Ajax
06.05.2010 Cup Feyenoord 1-4 AFC Ajax
25.04.2010 Cup AFC Ajax 2-0 Feyenoord
31.01.2010 D1 Feyenoord 1-1 AFC Ajax

LEAGUE POSITION - 6th v 4th after 9 matches.

HOME TEAM - Ajax

RECENT HOME FORM - WWDD - as we saw yesterday it is tough to be ultra accurate with such a small sample of matches but I hope there is something that comes up we can use. Draws against Twente and AZ not unexpected at all as these 2 are solid at present.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - WWDWWDDLD - loss v 8th placed Groningen anomolous it would seem. all 4 draws score draws and 3 against top 3 sides. feyenoord are 4th at the moment, but do remember this is only 9 matches in.

GOAL TRENDS - 2 of last 3 matches under 2.5 goals The others were all overs and all the draws were score draws.

STREAKS - no win in last 4. 3 of last 4 matches draws but they were against PSV, twente and AZ. have conceded in last 9 matches.

AWAY TEAM - Feyenoord

RECENT AWAY FORM - WDWL - the loss was against AZ -other results against current 7th, 13th and 18th ( of 18)

RECENT OVERALL FORM - WWDDWWLLW - recent losses v AZ and ADO Have only played 2 of the current top 10 away , losing one and drawing the other.

GOAL TRENDS - have conceded 9 goals in 46th-60th minute. Halftime team talk working?0-2 and 1-1 scuppered all matches away being over 2.5 goals. Last 6 matches over 2.5 goals. Have scored in all bar 1 match.

STREAKS - have scored in all last 4 matches. No draw in 5.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - 3 draws for ajax against early season strong performers signals they may not lose today against Feyenoord but dare we trust a win? Feyenoord have lost 2 of last 3, one against AZ who drew recently with Ajax and are the form side in Holland. 2 of last 3 unders for Ajax, but nearly all overs for Feyenoord.

1130am -
Lecce v AC Milan - 1.51 away
HEAD TO HEADS
16.01.2011 D1 US Lecce 1-1 AC Milan
29.08.2010 D1 AC Milan 4-0 US Lecce
05.04.2009 D1 AC Milan 2-0 US Lecce

LEAGUE POSITION - 19th v 13th - only 6 matches played so not reflective of final league position.

HOME TEAM -RECENT HOME FORM - LLL - conceding 2 against Udinese, Calgliari and Atalanta.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - - LWLLLD - win away to Bologna and draw away to genoa.


GOAL TRENDS - all 3 matches successful over 2.5 goals trades. 4 of 6 matches under 2.5 goals.

STREAKS - 3 match losing streak.

AWAY TEAM - AC MILAN

RECENT AWAY FORM - LL against napoli and Juve 3-1 and 2-0 -tough opening salvos.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - DLDWLW - inconsistent but 2 wins in last 3, both at home.

GOAL TRENDS - 1 of last 4 over 2.5 goals. Milan have only failed to score in 1 match.

STREAKS - 2 mathc losing streak away.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - only 6 matches played. AC Milan have met 2 of the stronger sides away so the losses not really a shock although you would have hoped for some tighter scorelines. This is the first away match against weaker opposition so expect some redress from Milan.

21.11.2009 D1 Roda Kerkrade 2-4 AZ Alkmaar

LEAGUE POSITION - 1st v 11th.

HOME TEAM - AZ

RECENT HOME FORM- WWWW - scoring 3-4-4-2. Have beaten 3 of top 5 at home.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - WLWWWWWWD - loss v Twente and recent draw v Ajax, so only really dropping points against the established sides.

GOAL TRENDS - 8 over 2.5 goals and the exception saw the 2nd goal at 66 mins so was a successful overs match. Have scored 3-0-4-3-4- 2-2-3-2 so ultra consistent.

STREAKS - 4 match home winning streak. 7 without defeat.

AWAY TEAM - RODA

RECENT AWAY FORM - LLLL conceding 3-3-5-7 - have lost to current 2nd, 4th, 5th ,10th, the inference surely that AZ can match or better these scorelines. 1.28 suggests 3 can be scored.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - WLLLWLLWW - all bar 1 match over 2.5 goals.Total goals in Roday matches - 3-3-2-4-3-5-8-7-5

GOAL TRENDS - as above. have conceded in all matches - last 4 matches over 4.5 goals.

STREAKS - 4 match losing streak - 9 without a draw.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - no draw in 9 for Roda suggests a home win. Speculators hope for over 4.5 goals again. AZ only seem to falter against the established Dutch triumvirate.

130pm -
Arsenal v Stoke - 1.59 home
HEAD TO HEADS
08.05.2011 PR Stoke City 3-1 Arsenal FC
23.02.2011 PR Arsenal FC 1-0 Stoke City
27.02.2010 PR Stoke City 1-3 Arsenal FC
24.01.2010 Cup Stoke City 3-1 Arsenal FC
Head to heads pre transfer market. Crouch in for Stoke, Fabrearse and Nasri out for Arse.

LEAGUE POSITION - -11th v 7th after 8 matches. Interesting to see the fav lower in the league than their opponents.

HOME TEAM - Arsenal

RECENT HOME FORM - LWWW - thanks largely to Van Persie. Win v Swansea was dire and extremely lucky, but good wins against Bolton and Sunderland and Stoke are a side you can lump in with those 2. A cautious 1.59 though.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - DLLWLWLW - inconsistent Arsenal, but home form strong enough recently.Losses away to United, Blackburn and Tottenham. No draw in 7.

GOAL TRENDS - last 4 matches over 2.5 goals. 5 of last 6 matches over 2.5 goals. Have scored in last 6 matches.

STREAKS - 3 match home winning streak.

AWAY TEAM - Stoke

RECENT AWAY FORM - DWLL - losses, without scoring, against Sunderland and Swansea , drew with Norwich and beat WBA. Not met any of the big boys away.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - DDWWLDLW - both losses away -good recent draw at home to Man Utd.And at home a 1-0 win over Liverpool. If they transfer that away against a top side, then that 1.59 is vulnerable.

GOAL TRENDS - only 1 match over 2.5 goals this season. Have failed to score in last 2 away matches.

STREAKS - - no draw in 3 away.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - arsenal finding the winning thread at home and Stoke unable to find the net away in last 2. Are Stoke vulnerable? What do we make of Stoke's abilities against Man Utd and Liverpool ? These tight matches were at home. Will they line up like this away? If so, 0-0 a definite goer. No goal in last 2 so check team news for Stoke re missing strikers. Trust the Arse to score first? totally incongruous goal trends, overs for Arse and overwhelmingly unders for Stoke. No Premierleague.co.uk or Racing Post key stat as I am doing this the night before because the work load is so big at the weekend.

130pm -
Fulham v Everton - 2.46 home - again the odds for me would mean a no bet but I will do the research as it is a Premiership match.
HEAD TO HEADS
19.03.2011 PR Everton FC 2-1 Fulham FC
25.09.2010 PR Fulham FC 0-0 Everton FC
25.04.2010 PR Everton FC 2-1 Fulham FC
13.09.2009 PR Fulham FC 2-1 Everton FC

LEAGUE POSITION - 16th v 17th, very tight 1 goal in it head to heads, and a 2-46 home team quote - this match could simply go either way. Although at home Fulham tend not to lose, and away Fulham tend to lose 2-1 in head to heads.

HOME TEAM - Fulham

RECENT HOME FORM - DDDW - tough to beat at home. Great recovery v City 0-2 down to draw 2-2. Key players Zamora and Johnson upfront. Would want to see them if backing Fulham.In ntheir home draws, Fulham conceded first. 6-0 win over QPR latest somewhat out of the blue.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - DLLDDDWL - win against QPR as above.Draws against Villa, Man City, Blackburn and WBA All losses were away losses.

GOAL TRENDS - last 2 at home over 2.5 goals. Have kept a clean sheet in 2 of last 3. have failed to score in 2 of last 3.

STREAKS - 4 at home without defeat.

AWAY TEAM - Everton

RECENT AWAY FORM - WLL - difficult to evaluate as last 2 opponents Chelsea and Man CIty.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - LWDWLLL - last 3 losses against City, Liverpool and Chelsea. Fulham nowhere near that calibre. Sole wins against current bottom and 2nd bottom don't really put Everton in a favourable light here.

GOAL TRENDS - only last match over 2.5 goals against Man City away.Have failed to score in 2 of the last 3.

STREAKS - 3 match losing streak. No draw in 3 away.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - as the odds and head to heads suggest, this is tough to call and I have no conclusions at all here. Is the return of Johnson a catalyst here for Fulham, unbeaten at home? Everton away form tough to gauge as met Chelsea and City recently, Wins overall come against Blackburn and Wigan, current bottom 2 does not augur well for Everton.

130pm -
Man Utd v Man City - 2.2 home
HEAD TO HEADS
07.08.2011 CS Manchester United 3-2 Manchester City
16.04.2011 Cup Manchester City 1-0 Manchester United

10.11.2010 PR Manchester City 0-0 Manchester United
17.04.2010 PR Manchester City 0-1 Manchester United

In a busy day, I am not going to research a derby which will be a spectacle but a likely tight affair. Instinct from me sees City as actually having the better personnel. Maybe the recent Man Utd v Liverpool match is a good template here. Late goal action after60 minutes? Better watched than traded.
3pm -
Blackburn v Tottenham - 1.92 away

19.12.2009 PR Blackburn Rovers 0-2 Tottenham
04.04.2009 PR Blackburn Rovers 2-1 Tottenham

LEAGUE POSITION -19th v 6th and Spuds are nearly evens? Spurs have won the last 4 head to heds and last 2 away at Blackburn without the home side scoring.

HOME TEAM - Blackburn.

RECENT HOME FORM - LLWL - win notorious 2 own goals from Arse. losses to Wolves, Everton ( 90th min pen) and Man City .

RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLLDWLLD - sole win the arsenal win. draws away to fulham and QPR. Blackburn tend to score 1 goal only in games if at all ( bar the Arse game). Seems difficult generally for them to find the net with frequency. Have not played any of the 2nd to 10th at home yet so tough to gauge how they will cope.

GOAL TRENDS - 75% overs at home generally because faced Arse and Man City last 2 matches. Have conceded in all matches this season and conceded 2 or more in last 3 aways. 3 of last 4 over 2.5 goals, the exception 1-1 v QPR

STREAKS - 4 at home without a draw, have conceded in last 4.

AWAY TEAM - Spurs

RECENT AWAY FORM - LWWD - loss v Man Utd, wins against Wolves and Wigan and draw with Newcastle when 2-1 up until the 86th minute.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - LLWWWWD - scoring 2-4-2-2-2 recently and if this continues, poor scorers Blackburn are in trouble as they rarely manage more than 1 goal in a match. Wins against Wolves , Liverpool, Wigan , Arsenal. Wins against Liv and Arse at home but show Spurs are in good heart.

GOAL TRENDS - 6/7 over 2.5 goals, the exception the 0-2 away win at Wolves.

STREAKS - unbeaten in 5. Have scored in all of last 6.Have scored 2 or more in last 5 matches.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS and Tottenham are 1.92 why? Is there goalkeeper playing blindfolded? They dominate recent head to heads, Blackburn have failed to score more than 1 in all bar 1 match this season, their home win agaisnt Arsenal said more about Arsenal than about Blackburn. Only 1 win this season was that Arse match. Contrast with Spurs, unbeaten in 5 and having scored 2 minimum in last 5 matches. This has the feel of a 1-2 away win, or a derivative thereof. Spurs look the likeliest first scorers and the 1.92 odds will shorten well if they score first. Reactive traders watch if Blackburn score first. If these handful of matches are accurate reflections, then over 2.5 goals is a goer.

5 clean sheets in last 6 head to heads and immediately this is where we can look to really enhance the odds.
LEAGUE POSITION - 3rd v 7th -10 points behind rangers with a game in hand.

HOME TEAM - Celtic

RECENT HOME FORM - WLWW -loss 0-1 v St Johnstone saw Celtic miss a pen in the 3rd min.Wins against Inverness, Motherwell and Dundee Utd. Have already beaten Aberdeen 0-1 away with a 74th minute goal. No draw at home.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - WWWLWWLWLD - loss recently to Hearts and 3-3 draw with Kilmarnock. Surely 2 matches without max points must end and end today.Celtic were 3-0 down to Killy .

GOAL TRENDS - Only 4 of 9 over 2.5 goals .2 overs/ 2 unders at home. Last 2 Celtic home wins were to nil.

STREAKS - 4 at home without a draw - have not conceded in last 2.

AWAY TEAM -Aberdeen

RECENT AWAY FORM - LLLDL - have lost away to 1st and 2nd in the league, Rangers and Motherwell. Draw was a 0-0 and have not scored away yet this season ( ties in with head to heads does it not?)

RECENT OVERALL FORM - DLLLWLDDLWW - 2 match winning streak agaisnt Dunfermline and Dundee at home. Have played 6 matches home and away against top 6 and lost 5 and drew 1.

GOAL TRENDS - 3 of last 4 over 2.5 goals. Have failed to score away. Have failed to score against any of the top 6 they have played so far home and away. Failing to score away has kept unders down.

STREAKS - 5 without a win away, 5 without scoring away.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - looks like a win to nil, but what scoreline that is the question. Rangers managed a 2-0 recently so that is a starting point. Hearts scored 3 so perhaps 2-0 and 3-0 , but Celtic have scored 4 and 5 at home this season. Hmm! Conundrum.

21.03.2009 D1 PSV Eindhoven 2-0 Vitesse Arnhem
PSV unbeaten in last 6 head to heads.
LEAGUE POSITION - 5th v 2nd after 9 matches.

HOME TEAM -RECENT HOME FORM - Vitesse - WWWD - good home form but yet to meet the (now) big 4 at home ( PSV< Ajax, Twente, AZ). recent draw 1-1 v Heerenveen unlucky as 90th min equaliser.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - DWWLLWWDW - guess who the losses were against away? AZ and Ajax. Coincidence? Augurs well for PSV today.


GOAL TRENDS 3/4 matches at home overs. the exception was a 1-1 - have kept a clean sheet in 3 of last 4. . Have conceded 4 against 2 of top 4 teams in holland ( albeit away). Have failed to score in only 2.

STREAKS - - 4 at home without defeat.

AWAY TEAM - PSV

RECENT AWAY FORM - LWDW - loss to AZ, draw 3-3 v VVV saw PSV 0-2 up at halftime. Last win saw PSV score in the 85th and 87th minutes.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - LWWWDDWWW - back in the unbeaten groove. Only played one of current top 5 though so far and that was a 3-1 away loss.

GOAL TRENDS - have scored 1-3-3-2 away in 4 matches 3/4 overs away. 3-6-3-2-7-2-1 scored by PSV recently so they can let loose against the right opponents.

STREAKS - 8 match unbeaten streak. 6/9 over 2.5 goals. Have scored in all matches this season. Have kept a clean sheet in last 2 matches.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - good home form for Vitesse who have started the season well but is it a coincidence that when they meet the big 4 ( albeit away) they conceded 4 goals in both matches. Are they this vulnerable to another of the big 4, this time at home?
That is the key to this match. For those that agree, then the PSV price is a good one and if you think PSV will lead at some stage, there is trading leverage there. Over 2.5 goals is congruous.

PART 3
4pm -
Paris St-G v Dijon - 1.28 home
HEAD TO HEADS - no head to heads.

LEAGUE POSITION1st v 12th - Dijon must be newcomers.Let's hope they cut the mustard.

HOME TEAM - PSG

RECENT HOME FORM - LWWWW - loss 0-1 v Lorient on first match of season but wins since, albeit 3 of them by a single goal. 3 wins against current 13th, 14th and 16th,

RECENT FORM OVERALL - LDWWWDWWWW - solid form - sole draw a 2-2 away draw.

GOAL TRENDS 6 of last 8 over 2.5 goals.

STREAKS - 9 match unbeaten streak - 4 match winning streak - 4 match home winning streak - have scored 2 or more in their last 5 and 2 or more in 7 of last 8

AWAY TEAM - Dijon

RECENT AWAY FORM - LWLD 0-1 win v Evian - the mustard beating the water and 1-1 draw with Nice which should have been another 0-1 away win bar a 90th minute Nice equaliser.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - LLWWLLWDDL - 3 wins only, 2 at home. All wins characterised by clean sheet. 2 draws score draws. Have lost to current 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th, conceding 2-5-5-2 in the home/away matches.

GOAL TRENDS - only 4 matches over 2.5 goals but those 4 matches were losses, so if we expect a loss today ( as the market does), do we expect an accompanying over 2.5/3.5goals.?

STREAKS -3 away without a win

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - PSG score 2 or more at present and this is ominous for a Dijon side whose 4/5 losses have been over 2.5 goals losses. Dijon ,against current top sides, have conceded either 2 or 5 goals. Slight caution -could have had 2 recent 0-1 away wins were it not for nice equalising in the 90th minute. The goal trend though seems to be overs. Speculators? 5-0, 5-1 home win - very speculative i know but the odds will be huge.

4pm -
QPR v Chelsea - 1.4 away
HEAD TO HEADS
23.09.2009 LC Chelsea FC 1-0 Queens Park Rangers
05.01.2008 Cup Chelsea FC 1-0 Queens Park Rangers
Given the changes at both clubs, these head to heads are largely irrelevant .
LEAGUE POSITION -14th v 3rd after 8 games. Another Landan derby innit.

HOME TEAM - QPR

RECENT HOME FORM - LDDD - emphasis with the draws on defending. 1-1 v Villa saw a penalty and an own goal - that's how tight it was.Have yet to play the top 5 this season so we cannot gauge any likely tactics, but the recent bent is towards an emphasis on defending at home it would seem.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - LWLDWDLD- inconsistent the best description.Sole wins away at Everton and Wolves. Have only really played the current bottom 6 which makes this recent form even worse really.

GOAL TRENDS - the emphasis on defence at home inevitably produces an under 2.5 goals trend at home, Only 3 matches overs this season.

STREAKS - 4 without a win at home. 3 match drawing streak at home

AWAY TEAM - Chelsea

RECENT AWAY FORM - DWLW - loss v Man Utd, draw v Stoke. Not wholly unexpected.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - DWWWLWWW - all wins bar those.2-3-2-1-4-5-3 scored in those matches

GOAL TRENDS - 7/9 matches over 2.5 goals.

STREAKS - 3 match winning streak, no draw in 7.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - we must factor in the London Derby here which may produce an above par QPR home performance but the simple fact is that they have largely played bottom 6 ( current) sides. Yes, last 3 matches have seen solid home defence. Indeed they kept 4th placed Newcastle to 0-0.
But this Chelsea is clicking into gear now, as shown by 4-5-3 in last 3 matches scored. Have played Swansea and Norwich ( albeit at home) anad won 3-1 and 4-1 - these matches distinguished by 70th+ minute goals. This match could follow that format. Plucky home defending then Chelsea too good finally coming out 1-3 winners ( or a scoreline near that!)

LEAGUE POSITION - 8th v 1st

HOME TEAM - Hannover

RECENT HOME FORM - WDDWW - have conceded in all home matches, and Bayern easily able to score too. Have beaten current 2nd, 4th and 6th at home.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - WWDDLWDWL - 2 losses were away

GOAL TRENDS - have scored and conceded in all home matches.

STREAKS - 5 at home without defeat , 2 match home winning streak

AWAY TEAM - BAyern

RECENT AWAY FORM - WWWD - characterised by clean sheets. It seems if Bayern score, they should win if retaining clean sheets ( obviously)

RECENT OVERALL FORM - LWWWWWWDW scoring 5-3-7-2-3-0-4 without conceding.

GOAL TRENDS - general trend to unders but with clean sheets for Bayern so not as prolific away.

STREAKS - 8 without defeat overall, 8 without conceding.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - Hannover have been solid and won 3 against top 5 at home so will not be easy for Bayern . Hannover have also conceded in all home matches. Hannover could conceivably score today, after all clean sheet sequences do end eventually. Over 2.5 goals looks to have legs, and over 3.5 goals might be a goer if Bayern's attacking stars continue to shine.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - DLWWLDD - 3draws were 0-0.

GOAL TRENDS - 4 under and 3overs

STREAKS - 4 at home without defeat and no goal conceded at home. Have kept a clean sheet in 4 of the last 5 matches with only Barca scoring recently. Apart from those 2 4-0's Madrid have failed to score in all of the other 5 matches.

AWAY TEAM - Mallorca

RECENT AWAY FORM - LLD - the losses Mallorca were unable to score. THe draw was c/o 2 penalties.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - WLLLWDD -

GOAL TRENDS - 3 losses coincided with an inability to score and this ended with Mallorca scoring in their last 3 matches. 2 of those last3 matches were overs.

STREAKS - no win in 3 away.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - Ath MAdrid are solid defensively but also shocking up front bar 2 4-0 wins against the current bottom,2. Mallorca ended a 3 match run without scoring by scoring 2-2-1 in their last 3 matches.
0-0 must be a goer with these 2's records? Ath MAdrid unlikely to concede early but hard to see an earlygoal by them too.Yes Mallorca have scored in last 3 but 3 of the 5 goals came in the 2nd half

Samsun must be newcomers to the league as there are no recent relevant league matches.
Fener did not concede. Dare we cover the 0-0 again( it worked a treat in the Barca match which ended 0-0)
LEAGUE POSITION - 1st v 16th albeit only 6 matches .

HOME TEAM - Fener

RECENT HOME FORM - WDW - draw was 1-1

RECENT FORM OVERALL - WWDWWW - have kept a clean sheet in only 2

GOAL TRENDS - last 2 matches over 2.5 goals.

STREAKS- only 6 matches gone remember so streaks = weak. Unbeaten this season -have scored in all matches this season

AWAY TEAM - SAMSUN

RECENT AWAY FORM - LDL - losses against current 2nd and 3rd conceding 3 goals on both occasions. Could well be coincidence!

RECENT OVERALL FORM - WLDDLL - have played teams from current top 6 and not won

GOAL TRENDS - 4overs and 2 unders

STREAKS - 5 matches without a win -no win away - have failed to score in 2 of last 3.


CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - It seems as if Fener are capable of winning this match scoring 3 goals if Samsun's form against current 2nd and 3rd away is anything to go by. Slight note of caution - watch out for big favs v newcomers - there can be strange results.

LEAGUE POSITION - 2nd v 13th of 16 after 7 matches. - odds certainly suggest a repeat of last 3-0 or better.

HOME TEAM - Porto

RECENT HOME FORM - WWD

RECENT FORM OVERALL - WWWWDDW - 2 draws against Feirense and benfica ( not unexpected as Feirense are adept 0-0 specialists at home)

GOAL TRENDS - 5 of last 6 over 2.5 goals - the recent exception the Feirense 0-0.

STREAKS - unbeaten this season

AWAY TEAM - Nacional

RECENT AWAY FORM - DLL -

RECENT OVERALL FORM - DLLLWLW - 2 wins, both at home and both 1-0

GOAL TRENDS - have failed to score away so far this season - 0-0, 4-0, 2-0. Last 3 amtches unders.

STREAKS - 3 away without a win, have failed to score away so far

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - this inability to score away, coupled with the 1.18 quote, hints that Porto can repeat 3-0 head to head last time out at bare minimum. Porto have scored 3-3-2 at home.
