That old scoring and conceding habit in head to heads. Everton sturfy at home. This is an FA Cup match though. Recent losses v Norwich and Man Utd came away from home. Have scored and conceded in 6 of last 7.
Since 7th Jan 2012, at home, Everton have only lost 2 matches. Rock solid.
Only 1 defeat in FA Cup in last 10 was a 2-1 v Liverpool. Have scored and conceded in 6 of last 7.
Undefeated at home in 2012 in FA Cup, failing to score 2 goals only once.
Welcome respite for Wigan from relegation dogfight.
Recent wigan wins have come against Villa, Bournemouth ( 0-1), Macclesfield ( 0-1), Huddersfield and Reading.
Lost 4-0 to Liverpool latest and that might lay down a marker?
Recent away form WDWWDLWW – reasonable. Lost 4-1 away to Chelsea but elsewhere reasonable form.
0-1 wins at Macclesfield and Bournemouthwill really have Everton shaking in their boots. Last win was 1-4 v Huddersfield.
Wigan have been in reasonable form of late. Everton are imperious at home and that is reason enough to expect them not to lose. The problem is that Everton keep scoring and conceding, both recently and in head to heads, so Wigan could reasonably score. Everton were rock solid at slightly shorter at home latest -will they cruise again? I expect a tighter match.

05.10.2012D2Gazélec Ajaccio3-1FC Nantes
LEAGUE POSITION-2nd v 19th – contrasting fortunes. Nantes having a good season.
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Nantes
RECENT HOME FORM – DWWDWWWDDWLWDW – only 1 loss at home to 6th 1-2. Have not played bottom 2 at home. Beat bottom 3rd 3-1. Have only failed to score in 1 at home
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WWWDWDWWDLDWWDLWW – intermittent defeats . Only 4 defeats all season saw both teams score and concede. Intriguingly lost 3-1 at Ajaccio back in October.
GOAL TRENDS – 36% overs at home. Strong goalscoring at home either side of halftime.Scored first in 9/14 at home. Opponent has led at home only 1 match at halftime
STREAKS – scored in last 5 at home and last 6 overall.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Ajaccio
RECENT AWAY FORM – LLLWDLDLLDLLL – sole win was a 0-1 v Nimes, the only team who have beaten Nantes at home by the way!Have a decent record v top sides, 2-2 away to top and 0-0 v 4th
RECENT OVERALL FORM – LLLWDWLLLLLLL – dire recent form. Have failed to score in 9 of the last 12 matches. Only 3 clean sheets all season
GOAL TRENDS – 39% overs away from home. Opponent has scored first in 9/13 aways.
STREAKS – 9 away without a win,, 7 overall . No draw in 8 overall. Have conceded in last 8 overall. Not scored in last 5 away
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – contrasting fortunes since Ajaccio won 3-1 at home in October and their current inability to score must surely put the ball in Nantes’ court. nantes have only lost 1 home all season and are in scoring mood of late.Only 1 loss at home, and 4 losses all season for Nantes should see them redress the balance. All of Nantes defeats this season saw both teams scoring. Ajaccio are quite good v top 4, 2-2 and 0-0 so far. I cannot see them scoring 2 in current form. goal trends are mixed because of Ajaccio’s recent reluctance to score, BUT ability to have scored 3 v Nantes already this season. Nantes have scored in all bar one all season so expect them to hit the onion bag at some stage.
HEAD TO HEADS
Easy as you like for Bayern
LEAGUE POSITION – 1st v 12th.
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Bayern – play Arsenal on 13thMarch  so watch out for team news in a match perceived to be easy for Bayern
RECENT HOME FORM – WWDDWWW – draws against 2nd and 9th. Sole loss was v 3rd
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WWDWWDWDWWWWWWW- superb stuff from Bayern. Easy wins against teams around Dusseldorf in the league.
GOAL TRENDS – 58% overs at home. You’d expect higher but a lot of wins to nil. Have scored in all matches this season. Have sconceded 3 in first half and 4 in 2nd half at home. Score 1st in 9/12 at home and have led at halftime in 9/12 at home. 6 clean sheets in last 7.Only 3 overs in last 11.
STREAKS – have scored in last 12 at home and last 24 overall. No defeat in 15 . 7 match winning streak.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Dusseldorf
RECENT AWAY FORM – WDWLLLDLLLL – sole wins away v bottom 3 sides , both 0-2. Expectations low therefore. BUT having said that, a 1-1 v Dortmund away should wake bayern up from complacent slumbers. Dusseldorf do not get smashed away either, 3 is the max amount conceded and that was only in one game. They have lost -0, 2-0 and 2-1 so these are the types of scorelines which relate good enough defence.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – WDWLWLLWLWLD – totally inconsistent. Are very good at home. Best case away it would seem would be a draw.
GOAL TRENDS – 36% overs away from home. Scored first only 3/11 away and led halftime only 2/11 away. Only 3 clean sheets in 19.
STREAKS – 8 away without a win. Have conceded in last 8 away. No draw in 4 away.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – this might not be the spanking the odds expect. The Champions League might see team changes. Duss have conceded a max of 3 away and Bayern have a relatively low overs % simply because they win to nil. Best case is a draw for Duss. BAyern have scored in all matches this season so a 0-0 will mean CHAAARRGGGE! Win to nil a possible so any correct score punt should factor that in.

Both teams scored last 2, with share of the spoils.
LEAGUE POSITION – 6th v 2nd
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Schalke
RECENT HOME FORM WLWWWWDDLWLW – all wins at home have come against 8th and lower . Have lost to 1st and 5th and drawn with 4th. Already beaten Dortmund this season away .
RECENT FORM OVERALL – LWLDLDLLWDLLDWW – have scored and conceded in 10 of last 12 matches. All wins bar the win v Dort have come v 8th and lower.
GOAL TRENDS – 67% overs at home, 70% overall. Concede and score mostly 2nd half at home. Score first in 9/12 at home. 9 overs in last 11.
STREAKS – have scored in last 10 at home and conceded last 7 at home.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Dortmund
RECENT AWAY FORM – DLDDWWWDWWWD – solid recent form, only 1 defeat all season.  All away draws score draws. Scored in all aways. Scored 3-3-3-2 – 2 v 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th. 2.1 does not signal 2 goals today but it is worth bearing in mind.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – WWWDDLWWWWLWDW – only 4 defeats all season saw both teams score. The latest I think may have been down to a sending off?have scored and conceded in 4 of last 5.
GOAL TRENDS – 58% overs away, 70% overall. Have scored all aways. Have scored 14 and conceded only 4 away in first half Opponent not led at halftime away. Dort have only failed to score in 1 all season.
STREAKS – No defeat in 10 away. Have scored in last 12 away and last 14 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – both teams could score and concede here. Dortmund could threaten 2 goals as they have away against sides near Stuttgaart.  H2H reflect the odds. 2-1 to either side. It also suggests a possible neutral goals bet. Dort highly likely to score, they have only failed in 1 this season. Both sides have 70% overs overall.  Concern that although they beat Dort, Stuttgart at home have won only against 8th and below.

Only 1 head to head of relevance. We are also entering the silly part of the season where time is running out and this sometimes changes tactics.
LEAGUE POSITION – 13th v 16th
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Norwich
RECENT HOME FORM – DDLWWWWWLLDDDW – superb recent home form and a slight recent hiccup v Chelsea and Man City can be excused I think.Against lower half of table it is the defence which is the foundation, conceding 0-0-0-1-0-1-1 against 10thand lower at home in an unbeaten run.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – LLLLDLDDDWL – sole recent win rather unexpectedly against Everton ended a torrid winless sequence. Lost to City latest.
GOAL TRENDS – 36% overs at home not unexpected. Score first in 1/2 home matches. Have failed to score in 5 of last 7.
STREAKS – No defeat in 4 at home.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Saints
RECENT AWAY FORM – LLLLLWLDDWDLDL – only 2 away wins were against bottom 3 sides.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – LWLDDDWDDLDWLL – have scored and conceded in 9 of last 11. What’s with that 3-1 home win against City? Saints have scored 2-0-1-2-3-2-1 latest. Only 1 win home and away against top 14. All wins bar one have come against bottom 6.
GOAL TRENDS – 71% overs away from home. Opponent leads at halftime in 10/14 away.
STREAKS -have scored in last 7 away and conceded in last 4 away. Scored and conceded last 5
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – Saints are doing an Everton of late, scoring and conceding in matches.. A concern that all bar one of their wins has come against bottom 6 home and away. Only 1 win home or away to top 14.  Norwich are 13th – there by merit ?Only recent home defeats for Norwich came v City and Chelsea which could make them favs here. Against lower teams they tend to have a clean sheet or concede 1 max. IF conceding 1 as might be the case against Saints, Norwich will have to score 2 to win. which they’ve only done twice against 10th and lower. Norwich’s scorelines home and away to bottom 5 have been either 1-1, 2-1 (once) or 0-0. Difficult to nail these 2 as their goal tactics are chalk and cheese. The defence of Norwich and the traditional scoring of Saints ( scored and conceded last 5).1-1 a pre match trade could be a goer here?

02.04.2005LChQPR1-3Sunderland
0-0 last time out more in keeping with ‘Arry this time round? I think head to heads have to be taken with a pinch of salt given QPR’s predicament
LEAGUE POSITION – 20th v 14th
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – QPR
RECENT HOME FORM – LDLDDLDWLLDDDL –  sole win was 2-1 v fulham. QPR have failed to score in 5 at home and this is something that must change, because if you fail to score, the best case scenario is a 0-0 which they did manage in 3 of the 5 matches.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – DDDWLLLWDDDDLLW – last win v Saints must be a boost for the Mighty Twitcher.Last 2 defeats v Swans and United , both known goalscorers. Can the same be said about Sunderland? Against bottom 8, where both sides reside currently, QPR have amassed 6 draws, a 1-0 loss, 1-3 home defeat, 1-2 win and 2-2 draw.  0-0 with Sunderland last time out reflects that this might be as tight.
GOAL TRENDS – 43% overs at home. BUT break it into post and pre Harry. Only 2 goals scored in first half at home. Scored first in only 2/14 at home. Never led at halftime at home.
STREAKS – 6 at home without a win. No goal scored in 5 at home.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Blunderland
RECENT AWAY FORM – DDDLDLWLLWLWLL – have scored and conceded in 7 of last 9. No draw in 9 now. Have beaten 16th and 17th away but lost to 19th 2-1
RECENT OVERALL FORM – LWLWWLLWWDLLLD –  7 overs in last 9. The draw could have been layed last 2-2 as Fulham were leading 0-2. 3 draws prior to that were all 0-0. Maybe lay the draw here with a 0-0 insurance cover?
GOAL TRENDS – 71% overs away from home. opponent scored first in 7/14 aways.
STREAKS – 9 away without a draw. Have scored last 3 adn conceded last 4 away
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – I am only researching this as it is a premiership match. I would not ordinarily spend time on matches where a favourite is over evens. They are over evens for a reason. the bookies are saying ” good luck with this one, mate”. The overwhelming concern with QPR is not scoring at home. This must be addressed. It brings the 0-0 into play and as I say, layint the draw might be an angle in with this 0-0 insurance.  Backing 0-0 pre match might be another angle in as QPR have only score 2 at home in 1st half, and have managed 3 0-0′s . A messy desparate fixture this one.

HEAD TO HEADS
Celtic unbeaten in the league. Resounding at home last time out.
LEAGUE POSITION – 4th v 1st
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Ross county
RECENT HOME FORM – DDDLWWLDDWDWWD – having a good season Ross County . 1-2 defeats v St johnstone and Dundee United
RECENT FORM OVERALL – LDLDLDLWWDWDWWWWD – after a 4-0 away loss to Celtic, Ross COunty have put up a really solid run of results. 6 clean sheets in their last 7 matches attests to something positive changing.
GOAL TRENDS – 43% overs at home is inconclusive. Scored first in 1/2 home matches. Lead at halftime in 4/14 at home. Unders the prevailing goal trend in recent matches.
STREAKS – 7 at home without defeat, 10 overall. Have kept 5 consecutive clean sheets.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Celtic
RECENT AWAY FORM – DWLWWDWWWWLWDL – a poor run of recent aways might make Celtic vulnerable again against a home team who are in solid form.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – LWWWWWLWWWWWWDWL – scintillating goalscoring form at home , banging in 4+ goals with regularity.
GOAL TRENDS – 57% overs away from home. Only conceded 6 in first 75 minutes away. Concede 70% of away goals 2nd half. Scored first in 10/14 at home. Led at halftime in only 1/2 of away matches. 7 overs in last 8.
STREAKS – have scored in last 3 and conceded in last 4 away. Have scored in last 9 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – ross county are in good form and this might cause Celtic some concerns post Champions League and with poor away form. Ross County have kept a number of clean sheets . 1.47 is not backable pre match. Celtic are likely to score first. 1-0 to Ross County is a highly speculative scoreline given the strong defensive work of Ross county

tight last 2 with 3 clean sheets for Pana
LEAGUE POSITION – 5th v 16th
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Panathanaikos
RECENT HOME FORM – DDDDWWDLDLW – 2 defeats against 7th and 8th at home. 6 draws at home is a problem . Draw against 15th was 1-1 and playing bottom today. Have draws 0-0 with bottom away this season.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WLWDLLDDWDLLWW – last 2 defeats were 1-0 Against bottom 2 this season, it’s 1-1, 1-0 loss, 0-0 . Not that enticing.
GOAL TRENDS – 27% overs at home. Only 2 clean sheets in last 13.
STREAKS – have conceded in last 5 at home
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Kerkyra
RECENT AWAY FORM – LLDWDLLLDLL – Pana’s short price seems down to Kerk’s poor away form. They have lost to top 4 away conceding at least 2 and are playing 5th today. Only 1 away win was a 0-1. Have failed to score in 7 matches away
RECENT OVERALL FORM – LDLLLLLDDLLWLW – last 2 wins, 2-1 were at home v 9th and 10th.
GOAL TRENDS – 18% overs away from home. Only 1 clean sheet in last 14 .Have scored in last 3 matches which were overs.
STREAKS – 7 away without a win. Have conceded in last 6 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – Kerkyra have not beaten top 5 and conceded 2/3  - will that happen today? Kerk usually cannot score but have scored in last 3 ( all overs).  Unders at 27% and 18%  which is an amazing stat. Pana have really trouble against bottom  sides. 1.3 suggests 2/3 conceded by Kerkyra ? The unders goal trends are overwhelming for these and they shared a 0-0 last time out. A match leaning in 2 directions!
HEAD TO HEADS
1.19 does not signal a 1-0 today. Nancy have done well in head to heads but is the money the telling difference this time?
LEAGUE POSITION – 1st v 19th
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – PSG – need a win to stay ahead at the top, only 2 points between them and 2nd
RECENT HOME FORM – DDWWWLLWWWDWWW – only defeats 1-2 v 4th and 8th. Have not conceded at home to bottom 7. Have scored 4 against 3rd bottom and bottom, and playing 2nd bottom today.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WWWWDWWWWLWL – 2 recent defeats were away. Was the last defeat down to being a match before a champions league match. Only 1 draw in 15.
GOAL TRENDS – 43% overs at home Have conceded only 3 at home in 2nd half, scoring 14 in last 1/2 hour. Have scored first in 9/13 at home. HAve led at halftime in 6/14 at home. Have conceded now in 3/4 but before that were consistently keeping clean sheets.
STREAKS- 3 match home winning streak. No defeat in 7 at home. No draw in 7 overall.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Nancy
RECENT AWAY FORM – DLLLLDDDLLWLW – 2 wins in last 3 were the only 2 away this season, against 3rd and 17th, 0-1 and 1-2. Have drawn 1-1 v 2nd away and beaten 3rd 0-1.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – DDDDDDLDLWWLLLW – only 4 wins all season, 3 of which have come in last 5.Have conceded 11 in first 1/2 hour away. and 7 in last 1/4 hour away. Opponents have scored first in 9/13 away . Have only led at halftime in 2/13 away.
GOAL TRENDS – 54% overs away from home.  7 overs in last 9. Have only kept 2 clean sheets all season.
STREAKS – 5 away without a draw, 7 overall. Have conceded in last 4 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – only 4 wins all season for Nancy, and 3 have come in last 6 matches. Are unbeaten away to top 2 sides. And PSG have not conceded at home to bottom 7, winning 6 of the matches. Only 2 clean sheets for NAncy so they should concede at some stage. What’s it to be then? PSG to continue winning to nil v bottom 7 or Nancy to continue their unbeaten run v top 2 away? Hmmm.

Anderlecht have won home head to heads and 3 of last 4. They only won the cup match in extra time.
LEAGUE POSITION – 1st v 7th
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Anderlecht
RECENT HOME FORM – WWDWWWWWWWWDWL – sole loss was v 2nd at home 0-1. Outside top 6, have conceded 1 max.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WWWWWWWWWWWDWWDL -last 2 draws and loss v top 5 sides home and away.
GOAL TRENDS – 64% overs at home. No 0-0′s this season. Have only failed to score in 2 all season.
STREAKS – no major streaks at home.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Mechelen
RECENT AWAY FORM – DLLWLWLDDDWWLW – all away wins v 8th and bottom. Against top 6 away DLDLL – have scored in all matches against top 6 away.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – DWLWWWWLWWL – solid recent form, defeats v 5th, 9th and 10th. Recent wins have generally been by scoring 2 goals.
GOAL TRENDS – 50/50 overs away from home. Have scored and conceded in all matches away v top 10. 2 clean sheets in last 3.
STREAKS – have scored in last 13 aways and last 8 overall. No draw in 10 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – away side are likely to score today which brings overs into play.Mechelin’s wins rececntly have generally been by scoring 2 goals, so the question you need to answer is whether Mechelen can score  2 against Anderlecht. Their wins tend to come against 8th and below
Anderlecht to lose 2 consecutive matches at home is not that likely. Anderlecht have only failed to score in 2 this season and Mechelen have scored in last 13 overall.

STREAKS – conceded last 8
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – while not setting the world alight, Atalanta have the winning thread against bottom 3, albeit a 0-0 v Pescara this season.

Pescara’s defeats outside top 3 away have all been to nil. If they score outside the top 3, they tend to draw or win, although a win required 2 goals.

LEAGUE POSITION – 2nd v 14th
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Ajax
RECENT HOME FORM – DWWWDLWWWWDD -only loss v 4th. 2 consecutive 1-1 draws is a sequence Ajax are priced to end.Score draws v 15th and 16th might put the score draw into play today.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – LWWWWWWDWLWDWDW – have conceded in last 2 home matches.Last loss for Ajax saw them 0-2 up before losing 3-2.
GOAL TRENDS- 33% overs at home. Have only conceded 1 at home in the first half hour and none in the last 1/2 hour. Score first 9/12 at home. Lead at HT in only 5/12 home matches.FAiled to score in only 2 all season

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – what to make of Zwolle beating top 1-3 away. They may have their work cut out as Ajax tend to score readily in head to heads, 4/5 goals.Only 1 ajax defeat at home. Might be liable to a score draw as they have against teams around Zwolle’s. So the expected win to nil might not eventualise. Ajax should score at some stage. They have only failed to score in 2 all season.. Ajax at home are generally unders. An exception this time?  If tight HT, don’t worry, Zwolle tend to concede 2nd half. ajax tight first and last 1/2 hour at home. 2 consecutive away defeats now for Zwolle.

Juve score 2/3 at home in H2H. It’s a lot tighter at Catania.
LEAGUE POSITION – 1st v 8th
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Juventys
RECENT HOME FORM – WWWWWLDWWLWDWW – losses v 5th and 10th saw both teams score.Tend to score 2+ in wins at home. If you expect a win today, then expect 2+ goals from Juve. 3 clean sheets in last 4 home matches.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – LWWWWLDWDWWLWD – a bit ropey of late, but LD was away . All defeats (4) have come against top 10 sides.
GOAL TRENDS – 57% overs at home. Average 2 goals at home.Have only conceded 1 goal in the first half at home. Score first 13/14 at home . Opponent has never led at halftime at home. Only failed to score in 4 all season
STREAKS – No defeat in 4 at home. have scored in last 7 at home.2 match home clean sheets.

RECENT OVERALL FORM – LLWWLDWWWLDWWL – last loss saw Cat 2-0 up against Inter Milan. Cat are a far better home side.
GOAL TRENDS – 54% overs away. Scored first in only 3 aways.
STREAKS – no major away streaks.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – Cat away look rather straightforward. COncede 2 v top 9 and lost 2-0 v top 6. Simple as. Juve are the likeliest first goal scorers today and Catania are highly unlikely to lead at halftime, exacerbated by Juve’s concession of a single goal in the first half at home. Juve tend to score 2+ goals when they win at home. Catania tend to concede 2 v top 9. Ergo correct scorers start at a 2 goals scored correct score for Juve?

The way Spuds are playing, you could not discount them going on a decent unbeaten push. A Nice dismantling of an admittedly misfiring Inter Milan mid week. Liverpool holding their own too.
LEAGUE POSITION – 7th v 3rd
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Liverpool
RECENT HOME FORM – DLLDWDWWLWWWLW – no draw for a while now and only 2 defeats. All Liverpool wins though have come against 8th and lower at home and away. All Liverpool home wins have been to nil. Do we really expect Spuds not to score with Gareth Hale and Pace scoring at will?
RECENT FORM OVERALL – LWWLWLWWLWDDLWW – recent defeats v Spurs (3rd), Villa( 18th), Stoke ( 11th), United(top), and West Brom (9th).  Liverpool have scored 3-1-4-1-3-3-1-5-2-2-0-5-4  . . All matches v top 3 so far have seen both sides score and Liverpool concede 2 goals in each of the 5 matches , all without winning.
GOAL TRENDS – 57% overs at home. Have conceded only 1 in the first half hour at home. Scored first in 9/14 but I think we have to take top 3 form as distinct from form v 9th and below.
STREAKS – 8 at home without a draw.Have scored 16 in half hour directly after 1/2 time. Suarez and Gerrard top scorers at home.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Spuds
RECENT AWAY FORM – LWWWLLWLWWDDWW – solid away from home. Have lost away to 2nd, 5th and 6th, and 15th. Scored and conceded in each defeat so if you think Spurs are vulnerable then over 2.5 goals . Liverpool have conceded 2 goals in all bar one match home and away v top .
