12pm - H Rostock v St Pauli - 2.42 away
HEAD TO HEADS
| 28.03.2010 | D2 | St. Pauli | 2-0 | Hansa Rostock | |
| 02.11.2009 | D2 | Hansa Rostock | 0-2 | St. Pauli | |
| 06.03.2009 | D2 | St. Pauli | 3-2 | Hansa Rostock |
Odds indicate a tight match, tighter than the recent head to heads have been?
LEAGUE POSITION - 16th v 5th - again why are St Pauli 2.42 . They seem to be clearly in form after 14 matches and can go 2nd (provisionally) with a win today.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team H Rostock
RECENT HOME FORM - LDDDDWD - this is the reason Rostock are 16th - dropping 2 points with each draw. 3 0-0's and 2 1-1's. They have only played 3rd at home of the top 5, and lost 1-2. 7th, 9th, 11th, 15th ,17th -the teams where they drew. So with only 1 defeat, this isn't bad home form, but that one defeat was against a top 5 side ( St PAuli are 5th)
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LDDDDLDLDLWLDD - again those D's ( must have been watching Villa) and a solitary win all season, which again begs the question why St Pauli are priced at over evens? Is it because the market fears the draw? Interestingly, the sole win came against 6th placed at home , a 2-0 win, so how significant is that? Have played 3 of the top 5 and lost all ( 1st and 2nd away and 3rd at home) - after only 14 matches , is that enough for us to use?
GOAL TRENDS - 14% overs at home, down to those draws. Have led at halftime in only 14% of matches. Only 3 over 2.5 goals matches this season, 2 of which were away.Have failed to score in 3 of the last 5 matches.
STREAKS - 6 at home without defeat.Only 1 win all season.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - St Pauli
RECENT AWAY FORM - DWLWWW - again I ask why St PAuli are priced so high. There must be a reason apart from any form analysis. 4 wins away. Wins have come against 8th, 9th, 11th and 15th . Only dropped points away were against 2nd and 7th.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - WDWWWLWWLWLWWD - only 3 losses all season , 2 of which came at home against 1st and 12th. Against the bottom six, where Rostock reside, St Pauli have won 4 home and 1 away, scoring 2 goals minimum in each match.
GOAL TRENDS - After the first 15 minutes, St Pauli score consistently the same number of goals in each quarter thereafter, hinting that a goal can come at any time. 33% overs away from home, down to 2 0-2 wins and a 1-1 draw skewing the % a little. 9 of the last 12 matches over 2.5 goals. St Pauli have only failed to score in 1 match this season.
STREAKS - 3 match winning streak away. No draw in 5 away ( interesting given the propensity for the home team to draw), and have scored in the last 8 matches.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS
1230pm - Inverness CT v Celtic - 1.48 away - Celtic suspect of late.

Have run the Bhoys close in 3 of last 4 matches.
LEAGUE POSITION -12th ( bottom) v 2nd ( have a game in hand over Rangers but points are 38 to 26. Celtic in trouble here title wise and must win all remaining fixtures to have a realistic chance this season.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Inverness
RECENT HOME FORM - LLWDWDL - both wins 2-1 against 6th and 7th. Have lost at home to 1st and 3rd, conceding 2 and 3. This is the ideal that an in form Celtic side should copy. Wins required 78th and 89th minute goals.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLDLLWDLLWLDLW - totally inconsistent form is always a scare for traders. Wins against 6th and 7th. Have played top 4 home and away and lost all 5 matches they have played conceding 2 or 3, and failing to score in 4 of the matches.
GOAL TRENDS - 43% overs at home thanks to 2 1-1's and a 0-2 loss. 3 of last 5 matches over 2.5 goals. Have conceded in every match this season.
STREAKS - Have scored and conceded in the last 5 home matches.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Celtic
RECENT AWAY FORM - WWWLLDW - losses against Rangers and Hearts I suppose could have been foreseen. Wins against 6th, 9th and 11th without conceding and remember they are playing 12th today.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - WWWLWWLWLDWDW - again another inconsistent team. Losses have come against 1st, 4th and 5th which hints at a draw worse case against teams outside of the top 5.
GOAL TRENDS - 43% overs away from home, 3 2-0 scorelines away the cause. 3 of the last 4 matches over 2.5 goals. Have scored 2 or more in 5 of 7 away matches.
STREAKS - have conceded in the last 4 away matches. Have not lost last 4 matches overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS
1245pm - Norwich v Arsenal - 1.74 away -
HEAD TO HEADS last head to head in 2005 so irrelevant
LEAGUE POSITION - 9th v 7th after 11 matches - who'd have thought apart from "Lesbianavenue Delia" - Arsenal could break into the top 5 with a win ( dependent on other results)
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Norwich
RECENT HOME FORM - DLWWD - importantly Norwich have not met any of the current top 9 sides at home. So bear that in mind when looking at this apparently good home form so far. Norwich have only failed to score in one match.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - DDLLWWLWDDL - have lost away to Man Utd and Chelsea , conceding 2 and 3. Is this transferable to a home match against the Arse. Only 3 wins, against Sunderland, Swansea and Bolton, teams you could describe as typically Championship.
GOAL TRENDS - 60% overs at home. Have conceded in all home matches and this should continue surely against an Arse side still brimming with confidence. 5 of the last 7 matches over 2.5 goals. Have conceded in all matches this season and only failed to score in 2 matches.
STREAKS - 3 at home without defeat, scoring 3-2-3. Have conceded in the last 11 matches.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Arse
RECENT AWAY FORM - DLLLW - losses against current 2nd, 5th, and 19th, that latter match should never have been a defeat. 10-8-3-7-0 the total goals in these 5 matches. Speculators therefore could really load up on goals in the hope.....
RECENT OVERALL FORM - DLLWLWLWWWW - hit their stride now with 5 wins in last 6 matches. The defeat was to Spuds in a local derby. Beat Sunderland, Stoke, WestBrom and Chelsea, 3 of those teams Championship style teams like Norwich. Arsenal scored 2-3-5-3 in their 4 wins.
GOAL TRENDS - 80% overs away from home. 73% overall over 2.5 goals ( 3 out of every 4 matches over 2.5 goals.) Last 7 matches over 2.5 goals. Only failed to score in the 1st and 2nd matches of the season.
STREAKS - -have scored and conceded in the last 4 away matches. No draw in 10 matches. Have scored in the last 9.

Koln are very much in the style of that last head to head which is why I wanted to research this match.
LEAGUE POSITION - 11th v 14th - after 12 matches.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Koln
RECENT HOME FORM - LDLWWW - last 3 wins have come without conceding a goal. Wins against 7th, 9th and 18th. Interestingly have lost at home to 13th and 15th and playing 14th today.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLDWLWWLWLWL - no draw in 9, and 4 wins in 7. 5 of the last 6 matches have been a clean sheet for the winning side.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS
230pm - Mgladbach v W Bremen - 2.54 home - another match which could include goals as Werder love scoring and conceding.

| 23.08.2009 | D1 | Werder Bremen | 3-0 | Mönchengladbach | |
| 14.02.2009 | D1 | Werder Bremen | 1-1 | Mönchengladbach |
LEAGUE POSITION - 3rd v 4th after 12 matches and on the same points. Bayern and Dortmund are still within reach ( without the pursuers slipping up, and with Bayern and Dortmund playing each other today, it is an ideal opportunity for one of these 2 sides to do something and get overall 3rd place)
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Mgladbach
RECENT HOME FORM - - DWWWDW - unbeaten at home.Draws against 6th and 8th.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - WDWLWWWLDLWW - 4 of the wins were 1-0's and last 2 wins 2-1's so it seems Mgladbach really need to "hang on" to win. 3 losses all came away from home, and guess what? They were 1-0.
GOAL TRENDS - 50% overs at home and have scored in all matches at home this season. 3 of the last 4 matches over 2.5 goals. Have conceded in the last 5 matches. Only failed to score in those 3 1-0 away losses.
STREAKS - 6 at home without defeat. Have scored in last 6 at home.Have conceded in last 5 matches overall.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - WERDER
RECENT AWAY FORM - LWDLDW - inconsistent away , typically Werder I suppose. Have not played any of the top 5 away just yet. Lost against 6th and 7th - important ? Only away losses against top 7. Al bar 1 away match was over 1.5 goals and threatening over 2.5 goals.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - WLWWWDWLLDWW - 3 losses this season against 2nd, 6th and 7th, all top 10 sides, and only matches played against top 10 this season. It seems the typical Werder overs are reserved to sides outside the top 10.
GOAL TRENDS - only 6 of Werder's matches over 2.5 goals this season.50% so it hints that overs may be determined by the opposition today. 3 2-0 scorelines scuppered the 100% overs at home.This season has been 2 unders, 2 overs, 2 unders, 2 overs, 2 unders, 2 overs. Have only kept 2 clean sheets this season, both 2-0 home wins. Have failed to score against 2nd and 6th this season.
STREAKS - 6 at home without a draw, have scored and conceded in last 3 matches and conceded in last 7 overall. Last 10 matches over 1.5 goals could hint at possible successful over 2.5 goals ( dependent on the time of 2nd goal)

| 17.01.2010 | D1 | Schalke 04 | 1-0 | Nürnberg | |
| 08.08.2009 | D1 | Nürnberg | 1-2 | Schalke 04 |
LEAGUE POSITION - 5th v 15th after 12 matches.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Schalke - as I have mentioned before, Bayern and Dortmund are playing each other. One will drop points, so Schalke must take advantage in such a tight head of the market.
RECENT HOME FORM - WWLWLW - -losses against 1st and 12th - no draw yet at home. 4th, 9th, 11th, 17th - the teams Schalke beat at home.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LWWWLLWWLWWD - solitary draw a 2-2 away to Hannover. Sign of things to come, or an anomolous draw? Have beaten 14th, 16th and 17th scoring 4-4-2 so it would seem Schalke have nothing to fear re 15th today?
GOAL TRENDS - 67% overs at home. 75% overs overall. So 3/4 matches will be over 2.5 goals if this trend continues. Have scored 6 goals in the first half and 18 in the 2nd half. 5 of the last 6 matches over 2.5 goals. Have only kept a clean sheet in 2 matches and failed to score only against 1st and 8th.
STREAKS - 6 at home without a draw.Have scored and conceded in last 3 home matches. Have scored in the last 6 matches.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Nurnberg
RECENT AWAY FORM - WLWLLL - no draw - same really as Schalke at home. Have lost against 1st, 2nd and 4th away without scoring, and playing 5th today!
RECENT OVERALL FORM - WLLWWDLDLDLL - starved of a win in 7 matches. 2 draws and 4 losses against top 7 home and away.
GOAL TRENDS - 50% overs away from home - have kept a clean sheet in only 2 matches this season.Have failed to score in 3 away matches this season, and yes against top 4 away. Last 5 matches over 2.5 goals.
STREAKS - no draw in 6 away matches. Have conceded in the last 5 away, and last 8 overall.No win in 7 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - Home side not drawn at home and away side not drawn away.
3pm - Coventry v West Ham - 1.8 away
HEAD TO HEADS
| 30.10.2007 | LC | Coventry City | 1-2 | West Ham | |
| 09.04.2005 | LCh | West Ham | 3-0 | Coventry City |
Head to heads irrelevant.
LEAGUE POSITION - 23rd v 2nd or 2nd bottom v 2nd top - Southampton have a 5 point gap at the top so West Ham would be keen to keep the pressure on the Saints
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Coventry -
RECENT HOME FORM - LDWDDWLL - 2 wins against 8th and 20th. Have lost at home to 1st and drawn with 5th.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLLDDWLDDLWDLDLL - only 2 wins this season were both the home wins mentioned above. The last 5 draws were score draws which should be the best case scenario for Coventry today. HAve played 5 matches against top 7 home and away, 2 losses and 3 score draws.
GOAL TRENDS - Coventry score 85% of their goals in the 2nd half - a standard 37.5% OVER 2.5 goals home and away for Coventry suggests consistency with this stat. 3 of last 4 matches over 2.5 goals with the 1-1 draw a successful over 2.5 goals bet.
STREAKS - 2 match home losing streak - have scored in the last 6 matches. No win in 5 overall and have conceded in the last 5 matches. The 2-4 v Saints was the last match played. Saints were 0-2 up , Coventry fought back to 2-2 and lost 2-4. If Saints can score first then I am sure the Hamsters are capable of repeating the feat. And at nice odds there should be a good swing if they take the lead at some stage of this match.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - West Ham
RECENT AWAY FORM - WWWDDLWW - you get the impression West Ham prefer the less pressured matches on the road. Sole loss away was a 1-0 v the Saints who are top. They have played 20th, 21st and 24th away and won the lot scoring 4-4 and 1. Remember Coventry are 23rd.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - LWWDWWDWLDWLWWDW - Losses were all 1-0 and 2 of them were against 1st and 4th. 5/8 matches had clean sheets away from home.
GOAL TRENDS - 37.5% over 2.5 goals identical to Coventry. Only 1 of the last 5 matches over 2.5 goals. Have kept a clean sheet in 3 of the last 4 matches and 4 of the last 6, an emphasis by big Sam on defending? Have scored 4 goals against 20th and 21st away from home so speculators can hope for a repeat today. Hammers have scored 12 in the first half hour so are quick off the blocks.
STREAKS - 2 match winning streak away from home. 3 away without a draw.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS
3pm - Everton v Wolves - 1.65 home - please look at team news yourself
HEAD TO HEADS
| 09.04.2011 | PR | Wolverhampton | 0-3 | Everton FC | |
| 21.08.2010 | PR | Everton FC | 1-1 | Wolverhampton | |
| 27.03.2010 | PR | Wolverhampton | 0-0 | Everton FC | |
| 17.10.2009 | PR | Everton FC | 1-1 | Wolverhampton |
You suspect, in their current form, Wolves could be on the end of another 0-3? Interesting that they have 2 1-1 draws when visiting, suggesting a defensive bent.
LEAGUE POSITION 17th ( 10 matches) v 14th ( 11 matches) -a win could take Everton as high as 13th, and winning next 2 could take them as high as 8th ( based on other results). Wolves win and they could go 8th.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Everton
RECENT HOME FORM - LDWLL - losses against QPR, MAn Utd and Liverpool saw Everton fail to score. Coincide with the absence of Cahill? Have played 4 of the top 11 at home, losing 3 and drawing 1 ( 2-2 v Villa)
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LWDWLLLWLL - no real surprise with the defeats - playing Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd, Newcastle. Sole win in that run was away at Fulham. Now they play relegation candidates and should find this fixture easier in theory than 4 of the famous 5 - have played 7 matches against top 11 and lost all bar 1 of them. Today a welcome excursion to the lower parts of the table. Wins have come against 16th, 19th and 20th.
GOAL TRENDS - 40% overs at home. Have conceded in all home matches. 3 of last 4 matches over 2.5 goals. Have only kept a clean sheet in 1 match this season.
STREAKS - have conceded in last 5 at home and last 8 overall. No draw in last 7 overall.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Wolves
RECENT AWAY FORM - WDLLL - losses against 1st, 6th and 13th saw Wolves score at least one. Remember Everton have played a game less and if winning that game in hand could be around 13th. Sole win away against 2nd bottom.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - WWDLLLLLDLW - recent win was at home against Wigan, and my Sunday league side could beat Wigan. Again, like Everton, Wolves have beaten the lower teams , 16, 19th and 20th. And it's 6 losses and 2 draws against the rest.
GOAL TRENDS - 60% overs away from home, scoring an average of 0.8. 6 of the last 7 matches over 2.5 goals. 2-3-2-2-2-2-3-1 - the goals conceded recently by Wolves.
STREAKS - have conceded in the last 8 overall. Have scored in the last 3 away. lost last 3 away, no win in 4 away.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS
3pm - Man City v Newcastle - 1.33 home - the end of the Geordie run is nigh? Howay the lads pet man wor lass.
HEAD TO HEADS
| 26.12.2010 | PR | Newcastle Utd | 1-3 | Manchester City | |

| 28.01.2009 | PR | Manchester City | 2-1 | Newcastle Utd | |
| 20.10.2008 | PR | Newcastle Utd | 2-2 | Manchester City |
City enjoy meeting Newcastle and this new City enjoy scorelines like those shown above.
LEAGUE POSITION - 1st v 3rd - not since the days of " I would luv it if we beat them" have Newcastle seen such rarified air.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Man City
RECENT HOME FORM - WWWWW - scoring 4-4-3-2-3 - not played any of the top 7 at home just yet so we can argue that City have not really been tested.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - WWWWDWWWWWW - 0-2 up against Fulham and let it slip. Have beaten Man Utd and Tottenham away scoring 11 and conceding 2.
GOAL TRENDS - 80% overs at home, 91% overs overall. Have scored 6-5-4-4 against current top 10 home and away. Have scored and conceded in last 4. Total goals in City matches this season - 4-5-6-3-4-2-4-5-7-4-5 - any reason this should suddenly halt? 77% of City's goals are scored in the 2nd half so you could hope for a tight first half and take advantage of better odds in the 2nd half. City have conceded 6 goals in the 61st to 75th minutes - sign of complacency at this time?
STREAKS - 5 match home winning streak, have won last 6 matches overall.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Newcastle
RECENT AWAY FORM - WDDWW - battle of the unbeatens today.newcastle have not met any of the top 7 away just as Man City have not met any of the top 7 at home.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - DWWDDWWDWWW - superb this season, but note this - all draws have come against 5th, 7th, 8th and 11th , 2 of the draws were 0-0, and the other 2 draws required Newcastle to come from behind to get the equaliser. This does suggest vulnerability against the top teams currently. Wins have come against bottom 9 sides, with 4 wins against bottom 5 at home.
GOAL TRENDS - 40% overs away from home. The reason? Well Newcastle concede 0.6 goals on average away from home. CAn this really continue against the first top 7 team they have met this season, who are scoring bucket loads. 5 of the last 6 matches have been over 2.5 goals.
STREAKS - no defeat in 11 - 3 match winning streak - have scored in the last 7 matches.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - City have not met any of the top 7 at home and Newcastle have not met any of the top 7 away. So here begins the tests for both sides.
3pm - Rangers v St Johnstone - 1.31 home

No real surprises here with 3 consecutive clean sheets.
LEAGUE POSITION - 1st( 14 matches) v 4th (13 matches) and that is a surprise as is the fact St Johnstone have beaten Celtic this season.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Rangers
RECENT HOME FORM - DWWWWDW - unbeaten at home. Have only played one of the top 4, beating Celtic 4-2. 2 1-1 draws came against 5th and 6th.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - DWWWWWWWWWDWWW - unbeaten this season. Draws against 5th and 6th at home, score draws. Unlucky to draw v St Mirren - they scored a 90th minute equaliser.
GOAL TRENDS - 29% over 2.5 goals at home. 2 1-1's and 2 2-0's the reason behind this low figure. Only 2 of the last 6 matches over 2.5 goals. 9/14 matches this season have seen clean sheets. Rangers have scored an average 2 goals per match at home. Rangers have scored in all matches this season. Great stat because if they go behind to nil, they are likely to get an equaliser.
STREAKS - 7 at home without defeat. Have scored in last 7 matches. No defeat in 14 overall and have scored in last 14 matches. Current winning streak of 3.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - St Johnstone
RECENT AWAY FORM - DWDWLWD - only 1 loss away from home against 9th, Have beaten 2nd and 3rd away without conceding -but Celtic out of form? And the other team Motherwell may well be getting a nose bleed soon as they are in an unnatural 3rd.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - DLLWDDWWLWWDL - inconsistent side. Have beaten 2nd , 3rd and 5th. 3 losses have come at home.
GOAL TRENDS - 43% overs away from home. Bad stats for both sides re the goals. Only 2 of their last 6 matches over 2.5 goals. Have kept a clean sheet in 2 of last 3 matches. Have failed to score in the last 2 matches.
STREAKS - 2 away without defeat.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - the win against Celtic was most fortuitous as Celtic missed a 5 minute penalty which would have changed the whole complexion of the match.

This could be as tight as the last head to head, although it seems Brighton are feeling the pinch a little bit now.
LEAGUE POSITION - 1st v 10th after 16 matches.

RECENT HOME FORM - WWWWWWWW - re-employed Le God by the looks of it. The wins are spread through teams throughout the league.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - WWWDWWLDLLDDLDLW - solid start to a season in a new league ends with struggling to turn draws into wins. Against top 9 at home, it's LDLDD -does this make Brighton vulnerable away from home.?
GOAL TRENDS - 25% overs away from home. Last 6 matches have all been under 2.5 goals. Have failed to score in 4 of the last 6. Have kept a clean sheet in 2 of the last 3.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS
3pm - St Mirren v Dunfermline - 1.79 home
HEAD TO HEADS
| 25.07.2011 | PR | Dunfermline | 0-0 | St. Mirren | |
| 23.09.2008 | LC | Dunfermline | 2-0 | St. Mirren |
Dunfermline I think are newcomers to the SPL. 0-0 last time out
LEAGUE POSITION - 6th( 14) v 10th (13) - so tight it is outside of the top teams, that Dunfermline will gain places with a win.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - St Mirren
RECENT HOME FORM - WLLDWL - not many home matches. - losses against 2nd and 3rd would have indicated that they can handle other than the top 3, but then we get a loss against 9th, albeit St Mirren were 2-1 up. Have failed to score at home to top 5, and did a Ted Rogers, 3-2-1 against bottom 6 sides. Inference here is that St Mirren are capable of scoring against the likes of Dunfermline.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - DWDLWLDLWLDLWD - again the inconsistencies continue - lost recently to bottom team ( albeit away)
GOAL TRENDS - 29% overs at home down largely to not scoring against top 5, but against bottom teams there were 2/3 over 2.5 goal matches and goals from St Mirren - 50/50 overs and unders in last 6 matches again reinforces the apparent unreadability of St Mirren. They have kept a clean sheet in their last 2 matches.
STREAKS - 2 at home without a win.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Dunfermline.
RECENT AWAY FORM - WWLLDW - losses against 7th and 11th - all 3 away wins were 0-1.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - DDWWLLDLLLDLW - all 3 wins , all away, all 0-1 against 4th, 8th and 9th.
GOAL TRENDS - 33% overs away from home, but what of the 2 blow outs? 3-2 and 4-0 losses away. Only 1 of last 4 matches under 2.5 goals. Have scored in all bar one match this season.
STREAKS- 2 away without defeat. Have scored in last 3.

No surprise to see 3 draws here out of 4 matches.
LEAGUE POSITION - 14th v 18th - after 11 matches.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - West Brom - West Brom have a trio of injury concerns ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Bolton at the Hawthorns.
Striker Shane Long is unlikely to have recovered from the knee injury which forced him to miss the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2012 play-off success over Estonia.
Midfielder Paul Scharner is rated doubtful, also with a knee problem, while Baggies head coach Roy Hodgson will check on the fitness of striker Peter Odemwingie (ankle) before finalising his side.
RECENT HOME FORM - LLDWL - 1-2 loss to Man Utd v unlucky, 0-1 loss to Stoke a 90th minute goal. Loss v Liverpool deserved. Win against Wolves.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLLWLDDWWLL - all losses come against current top 12 - 3 home and 3 away. Draws against 15th and 16th, and playing 18th today.
GOAL TRENDS - 20% overs at home, but remember only 5 matches played. Have failed to score in last 2, but that was against Arsenal and Liverpool. Inconsistent overs/unders. Only scored 0.6 on average at home.
STREAKS - no draw in 4. Have scored and conceded in last 2 matches.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Bolton - Bolton boss Owen Coyle will give youngster Joe Riley his second Barclays Premier League run-out when the Trotters travel to West Brom.
The 20-year-old shone on his debut in the 5-0 win over Stoke two weeks ago and will look to give a similar performance in the battle between two struggling sides at The Hawthorns.
Ricardo Gardner misses out after picking up a knock while Marcos Alonso (foot) and Dedryck Boyata (ankle) are closing in on returns but the match comes too early. Tyrone Mears, Lee Chung-yong, Stuart Holden, Sean Davis and Sam Ricketts are long-term absentees.
RECENT AWAY FORM - WLLWL - no draw away for Bolton. Against 6th, 7th and 10th, Bolton conceded 3. But against QPR and Wigan, Bolton scored 3 and 4.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - WLLLLLLWLLW - no draw this season. Don't be put off the losses - Bolton have had the worst run imaginable. 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th the kinds of sides Bolton have had to place. Any shoots of recovery? Well 2 wins in last 4 matches. 5-0 home win against Stoke most recently - -what do we make of that?
GOAL TRENDS - 100% overs away from home. 90.9% overs this season, but remember what I said about playing the big boys early season. Have kept a clean sheet in only 2 matches this season.
STREAKS - 5 away without a draw, 11 without a draw overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - with 2nd bottom and bottom playing today, the onus will be on Bolton to get the win that levers them a bit further away .

LEAGUE POSITION - 20th v 19th ( bottom v 2nd bottom)
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Wigan - Wigan defender Antolin Alcaraz misses Saturday's crunch Barclays Premier League match against fellow strugglers Blackburn through suspension.
The Paraguay international is beginning a three-match ban for spitting at Wolves' Richard Stearman during the Latics' loss at Molineux at fortnight ago.
Manager Roberto Martinez otherwise has a full squad to choose from with captain Gary Caldwell returning from his suspension.
Wigan Athletic: Al Habsi, Boyce, Caldwell, Figueroa, Watson, Diame, Moses, Gomez, McCarthy, Di Santo, Jones, Stam, Van Aanholt, McArthur, Lopez, Thomas, Sammon, Maloney, Crusat, Gohouri, Rodallega, McCarthy, Pollitt.

Simon Vukcevic is missing however after suffering a badly-broken nose on international duty with Montenegro.
Blackburn Rovers: Robinson, Bunn, Lowe, Samba, Dann, Salgado, Givet, Hanley, Olsson, Rochina, Pedersen, Nzonzi, Petrovic, Dunn, Hoilett, Yakubu, Goodwillie, Formica, Roberts, Slew.
RECENT AWAY FORM - LDLDD - no win-3 draws against 9th, 11th and 16th. Losses against Newc and Villa. Suggestion a draw minimum today?
RECENT OVERALL FORM - LLLDWLLDLDL - sole win extremely lucky win against Arsenal.
GOAL TRENDS - 60% overs away from home. Have conceded and scored in both home and away matches. 5 of last 7 matches over 2.5 goals. HAve conceded in all matches this season.
STREAKS - no win in 5 away - have conceded in 11. Have scored and conceded in last 5 away.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - problem with this match is it has a feel off a "one off" about it, given how precious 3 points is to bottom and 2nd bottom sides. These circumstances rarely happen so it makes the match unique.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - WWDLLLLDWW - how significant is it that all losses have come against current top 6 and they have conceded 2 goals in each match.
GOAL TRENDS - 80% overs away from home, and this could happen again thanks to the pattern of conceding 2 goals to top sides home and away. Inconsistent sequence of overs and unders. Have kept a clean sheet in 3 matches this season, 2 were at home.

Typically Italian the last 2 head to heads saw Inter gain the upper hand with a 1-0 win.
LEAGUE POSITION - 17th v 10th - Inter had a terrible start to the season down to tactically naive manager. Tinkerman is now installed and they seem, at first glance, a tad short today to get a win against Cagliari. Inter have generally played a game less than contemporaries.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Inter Milan.
RECENT HOME FORM - DLWL - losses have come against current 4th and 6th. 0-0 draw with Roma and 1-0 win over Chievo.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LDLWLLWDL - unable to string together a series of wins. Have lost to current 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th home and away.
GOAL TRENDS - Concede 70% of goals in the 2nd half .50% overs at home, so determined by the opponent and their goals %.Have scored 1 in 2 matches and failed to score in 2 matches at home. 6 of last 7 matches were successful over 2.5 goals trades ( 1 match ended 1-1 but both goals scored before halftime)
STREAKS - 3 at home without a draw.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Cagliari
RECENT AWAY FORM - WLWDL - all losses 1 goal losses, wins saw Cagliari scoring 2 goals in each match.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - WWLDWDDDLL - 4 "1 goal in it" games, 3 0-0's, and a 1-0 show that Cagliari can be tight, but then Lazio winning 3-0 away at Cagliari questions that a tad. But they are currently 2nd.
GOAL TRENDS - 40% over 2.5 goals away from home. Have failed to score in 4 of the last 5 ( the exception a 1-1). 6 of last 7 matches under 2.5 goals .
STREAKS - 5 overall without a win. 2 away without a win.

Dortmund riding high when they won last year away from home. Bayern's last 2 meetings at home were 3-1 wins - goals a plenty when these 2 meet.
LEAGUE POSITION - 1st v 2nd
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Bayern -
RECENT HOME FORM - LWWWWW - shock loss opening match of the season but now scoring freely and keeping clean sheets. Have scored 3 minimum in all matches at home and not conceded apart from the anomolous first match.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LWWWWWWDWLWW - loss v Hannover and I did point out they are a bogey team so not unexpected
GOAL TRENDS - 83% overs at home . 67% overs overall. 8 of last 10 matches over 2.5 goals. Had a superb run of 8 consecutive matches without conceded, but last 3 matches have seen then concede 1-0-1. Still it suggests no team is going to yet score 2 in a single match. Something to factor into your choice of trade. Have conceded only 4 goals all season.
STREAKS - 5 match home winning streak - 6 without a draw - no goal conceded in 5 at home.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Dortmund
RECENT AWAY FORM - LDLWWD - losses away against 7th and 9th. Draws against 6th and 8th and did win against 5th .
RECENT OVERALL FORM - WLWDLLWWWWDW - losses against 7th, 9th and 10th. 5 wins and a draw in last 6. 6 wins have come against bottom 8, 5 of those at home, so slightly suspect form when we talk about FC Hollywood today.
GOAL TRENDS - 34% overs away from home, ( only 5 matches) - 6 of the last 8 matches over 2.5 goals, the exceptions were both over 2.5 goals successful trades. HAve only failed to score in 2 matches this season.Have kept a clean sheet in 3 of the last 5.
STREAKS - 3 without defeat away, 6 overall. Have scored in the last 4 away, 8 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS
530pm - Swansea v Man Utd - 1.54 away - due respect to Swansea with that quote for United.
HEAD TO HEADS no head to heads.
LEAGUE POSITION - 10th v 2nd after 11 matches. This really is a must win for Man Utd with no let up from City.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Swansea - Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers must decide whether to bring winger Scott Sinclair back into his starting line-up for the visit of Barclays Premier League champions Manchester United.
Sinclair, who has three goals to his name this season, was relegated to the bench for the goalless draw at Liverpool due to a tight hamstring, with Wayne Routledge impressing in his place.
Left-back Neil Taylor is fit after suffering an ankle knock at Anfield but the match comes too soon for centre-half Steven Caulker, who is still recovering from the knee injury he suffered at Arsenal in September.
Kemy Agustien is again in contention after returning from a hamstring problem, while fellow midfielder Stephen Dobbie is hoping for a place on the bench after overcoming an ankle injury.
RECENT HOME FORM - DDWWW - Swansea have only played bottom 9 at home. 4 clean sheets in 5 home matches.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LDDLWLWLDWD - Swansea have played the top 10, albeit away, and its a 4-0 loss to City, 4-1 loss to Chelsea, 0-0 v Liverpool, 1-0 v Arsenal ( very unlucky), 3-1 loss to Norwich.
It is not wise to base home assumptions on past form, but it shows Swansea struggle against the big teams, and are unlikely to score more than 1 goal.
GOAL TRENDS - 40% overs at home - 5 of last 7 matches over 2.5 goals.
STREAKS - 3 match winning streak at home. No defeat in 5 at home.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Man Utd - Ashley Young will return from a toe injury when Manchester United visit Swansea for the first time since 1982.
Young has not featured since the derby mauling by Manchester City last month but has been training for a week and is expected to start.
Tom Cleverley (ankle) and Michael Owen (thigh) have both been ruled out until Christmas, Danny Welbeck has not recovered from the muscle strain he suffered on international duty, whilst Chris Smalling (foot) is unlikely to return until Tuesday's Champions League encounter with Benfica.
Take note - match with Benfica on 22nd in CL so may be team changes which suggest to me a lay of MAn Utd initially, or a back of 0-0
RECENT AWAY FORM - WWDDW - draws against Liverpool and Stoke both score draws and wins against 14th, 17th and 18th.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - WWWWWDWDLWW - last 2 United wins 1-0's do not convince. Draw against Liverpool saw United go a goal down. Solitary loss this season was against City.
GOAL TRENDS - 40% overs away from home. Have scored in all matches this season. Have kept a clean sheet in the last 2 matches. Only 1 of the last 6 under 2.5 goals.
STREAKS - 5 away without defeat - have scored in the last 5, and in last 11 overall.
