LATCH ON to a team who are "readable" and milk 'em for all they're worth! Doxa are perennial losers , under 2.5 ( 1.5 even) goal merchants, consistently don't score, and 0-0 is always backable to lay. 0-1 yesterday keeps the betting bank ticking along. Viva Doxa, my new favourite team!
We have had this in previous seasons. Benfica adept at avoiding draws. Barca scoring first in an amazing 94% of matches one season. Blackpool over 2.5 goals at home and conceding and scoring at home in the Premiership.
The gems come along, and once their strong trends are consistent, then it's time for you to make some green.STANDOUT STATS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
Elsewhere, it sees Villa " Oh arse" may have been the problem at Chelsea. Quite superb performance against Napoli.
Madrid did what 1.12 shots are supposed to do ( score 3/4).
1145am - Hougang Utd v Home Utd - 1.35 away - basic research
| 01.11.2011 | D1 | Hougang United | 0-2 | Home United | |

3 draws and a win in 2012 for Home.DWWL for Hougang recently.
Too early in the season for me to conclude anything .
1145am - Tampines Rovers v Tanjong Pagar Utd - 1.17 home - as you saw with Real Madrid
| 08.09.2011 | D1 | Tampines Rovers | 1-0 | Tanjong Pagar Utd | |
| 30.05.2011 | D1 | Tanjong Pagar Utd | 1-3 | Tampines Rovers | |
| 10.03.2011 | D1 | Tampines Rovers | 4-1 | Tanjong Pagar Utd |
Only 3 recent head to heads of relevance see Tampine scored 3 and 4 which is what is expected of 1.17 shots. But what of the apparent 1-0 struggle at home last time out?Opposition for Tanjong obvious
LLLLDLDLLL in recent league matches. Conceded 4-3-3 last 3 matches and 3-0 last 2 matches. Again I am not sure how things lie in the table re the strength of teams beating Tanjong when compared with Tampines.
Tampines have won their last 6 matches at home in all competitions.5 clean sheets there.
Tanjong away are LLLLLLLLDLL in their last 11. They have shown an ability to score in some matches.
Possible win to nil for Tampines will increase the returns on a 1.17 shot. 3/4 normally expected with a 1.17 quote and throw in a 3-1 in case Tanjong score?
130pm - FC Septemvri v CSKA Sofia - 1.16 away - Bulgarian Cup so no great analysis to do here.Division 2 W v Top flight. Again 1.16 suggesting 3/4 goal win possibly without conceding. I know little re teams/motivation etc so would have to hope the gulf in class will out and an away quote of 1.16 always signals extreme confidence,
EUROPA LEAGUE - TOUGHER TO PREDICT THAN THE WINNER OF A 24 RUNNER CHELTENHAM HANDICAP CHASE. I will use a basic research template here.
6pm - Ath Bilbao v Man Utd - 2.5 away
SCORE FROM 1ST LEG - 2-3 to Ath Bilbao. 3 away goals -priceless and a refreshing attacking football away from home. At the Madrigal, it's going to be a humdinger ( if United can be arsed with the Europa League - watch out for team news)
HOME TEAM - ATH BILBAO
HOME FORM RECENTLY IN ALL COMPETITIONS
Only 1 defeat at home in last 19. Do note Bilbao have not met Barca or Real Madrid to enable us to gauge the strength of this home form. 7 clean sheets in last 9, and 6-2 v Mirandes saw Bilbao unfussed about conceding with this match already in the bag.
Strength, at home, therefore, in defence.

Last 3 defeats away from home backs up their home form. Have scored in last 17 matches.

The current problems away in all competitions has come in the Europa League too. But note, a draw will suffice for Sporting away today. A 1-0 loss will force extra time. In 7 of the last 9 Europa matches, Sporting have had the kind of scoreline which would put them through today.
BOTTOM LINE.
City - 1-0 to take the game to extra time. 2-0 to win it the quickest way.
Sporting - 0-0 sees them through, 0-1 or any score draw gives City a mountain of problems as the latter did not score an away goal.
City - good pedigree at home historically in this competition, unbeaten since August 2008 .
Sporting - struggle away from home, but note a no score draw or score draw puts them through. A 2-1 loss puts them through, so City MUST keep a clean sheet, at least until they have scored 3! Even conceding at 2-1 up puts Sporting through on the away goal.
So, CLEAN SHEET IMPERATIVE. IDEALLY CITY SCORE 3 MINIMUM so that even if Sporting score 1 away goal, City go through.
