HEAD TO HEADSLEAGUE POSITIONv- 12th v 17th after 10 matches.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Bursaspor
RECENT HOME FORM - WLWDD - draws against 2nd and 4th , loss against 6th, and wins against 9th and 13th , 4-0 and 3-0 and playing 17th today.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - WWLLWLDDDD - 3 losses against 3rd, 6th and 10th. All draws have come against top 7 home and away.
GOAL TRENDS - 60% overs overall this season - -last 4 draws all under 2.5 goals. Last 2 matches 0-0 against 4th and 5th.
STREAKS - 2 match current drawing streak - 3 without defeat at home.5 overall without a win.4 overall without defeat.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Samsunspor
RECENT AWAY FORM - LDLDL - if the sequence continues it will be a draw today.Have played 4 of the top 7 away from home so a tough start to the season.0-0 draws against 1st and 7th. Losses against 3rd and 5th by 3 goals.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - WLDDLLDDLD - 2 -0-0's and a 1-0 in last 3 matches and remember Bursapor are 1-1, 1-1, 0-0, 0-0 in their last 4 matches. Logic dictates a back of 0-0 here.
GOAL TRENDS - 40% overs away from home. Only 1 of the last 4 matches unders. 5 draws in last 8 plays 4 draws in last 4. Sequentially we could lay the draw today in the hope this draw sequence ends ( don't mention the draw, Villa are playing this evening.) - Samsunspor have failed to score in 4 of the last 5 matches and have kept a clean sheet in 2 of the last 4.
STREAKS - 5 without a win away, 9 without a win overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - Head to heads are irrelevant in this match, Burs have drawn against 2nd and 4th, lost to 6th and beat 9th and 13th 3-0 and 4-0. Remember they are playing 17th today.
Samsunspor - no win away just yet and trouble scoring. 2 0-0's and a 1-0 loss in 3 of their lasst 4 matches.
GOALS - 60% overs at home But last 2 matches 0-0.Samsun have failed to score in 4 of their last 5 matches. 40% overs for Samsun away.
0-0 looks a good start for a back to lay trade judging by the 0-0's but there is that spectre of Bursaspor spanking 9th and 13th 3-0 and 4-0
You decide - another goalless thriller or a comprehensive win for Bursaspor.
HEAD TO HEADSThe scoreline was 2-1 at halftime and Sparta got 2 red cards in the 2nd half. The previous 2010 5-0 scoreline is more in keeping with a 1.27.
LEAGUE POSITION - 8th v 17th after 12 matches.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Sparta
RECENT HOME FORM - WDDWWW - have not played any of the bottom 4 ( Emmen are 2nd bottom) so if they can go unbeaten against better positioned sides, it augurs well.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - -WLDLDWWLLWWW - all 4 losses away from home against 1st, 4th, 6th and 12th. Last 3 wins against 3rd, 11th and 18th ( 0-6 win away and playing 17th today) -
GOAL TRENDS - 50/50 overs/unders - 5 of the last 6 matches over 2.5 goals and the exception was a 2-0 win. Have kept a clean sheet in the last 2 matches. HAve only failed to score in 2 matches.
STREAKS - -3 match home winning streak - 7 overall without a draw, have scored in the last 4 home and last 4 away matches.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Emmen
RECENT AWAY FORM - LLLLWL - have only beaten bottom side 0-1 and lost to 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 16th.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - LDLLLLLLWDLW - wins came against 11th and bottom and draw against 9th was 2-2 - a sudden run of 1 loss only in last 4 enough to concern Sparta this evening? 5 losses, conceding 2 minimum home and away against top 7 , and playing 8th today.
GOAL TRENDS - 83% overs away from home down to the huge amount of goals conceded. 9 of last 12 matches over 2.5 goals. Have kept a clean sheet in only 1 match this season ( and that was against bottom).
STREAKS - 6 without a draw away, have scored and conceded in the last 3 away matches. Have scored in the last 5 matches.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - 2 5-0 wins in head to heads then a 2-1 loss last time but Sparta had 2 men sent off.
Sparta are unbeaten at home All losses came away. Recent 3 wins against 3rd, 11th and 18th 0-6 away - remember playing 17th today.
Only 1 win for Emmen was a 0-1 against bottom. Lost to 2/3/7 and 14th
GOALS - 50/50 overs for Sparta at home - 83% overs away from home.
Highly speculative 5-0, 6-0 correct score if Sparta are in the mood and their 0-6 against 18th is a good guide.
Over 2.5 goals a goer it would seem
Laying the draw? No draw in 7 for Sparta and 6 for Emmen.
HEAD TO HEADS2-1 in the last 2 matches and since then we have had 2 transfer markets ( key position - managerial for Villa and goalkeeper for Villa).
LEAGUE POSITION - 5th v 8th - -a win takes Spurs 3rd. - Spurs have played 2 matches less than the top 4 so are in a very good position.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - -Spurs -
Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart could recover from his hamstring injury in time for Monday's Barclays Premier League clash with Aston Villa.
Van der Vaart is rated 75 per cent fit after sustaining the damage while on international duty for Holland against Switzerland.
Vedran Corluka is expected to overcome his ankle problem, but Michael Dawson (Achilles) and Tom Huddlestone (ankle) remain out.
For me Van Der Vaart is an integral part of the team and he will be missed if not playing.
Tottenham Hotspur: Gomes, Friedel, Cudicini, Bale, Kaboul, Corluka, Bassong, Gallas, King, Walker, Assou-Ekotto, Rose, Parker, Modric, Livermore, Townsend, Carroll, Lennon, Falque, Sandro, Pienaar, Pavlyuchenko, Defoe, Dos Santos, Adebayor, Van der Vaart.

On-loan Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas, who made his Villa debut as a substitute against the Canaries, is ineligible to face his parent club. Full-back Eric Lichaj (hip) is Villa's only long-term injury casualty.
Aston Villa: Given, Guzan, Hutton, Collins, Dunne, Clark, Warnock, Beye, Herd, Delph, Bannan, Petrov, Ireland, Albrighton, Gardner, Bent, Heskey, Agbonlahor, N'Zogbia, Weimann, Delfouneso.
RECENT AWAY FORM - DDDLD - says it all really. Loss was v Man City and seems the norm when anyone plays Man City. Draws against Fulham, Everton, QPR and Sunderland.All bar the draw with Fulham were score draws.
