Picks by Xazar7a:

Birmingham - Arsenal	2 AH	2.10	Arenal are leaders and will look to keep their place in EPL. Birmingham are not team which can show something interesting. The Gunner palyers are great and should easily grab the points. Away win here with -1 AH.
Bayer - Schalke	Both teams to score	1.60	It will be one of the most interesting matches of the round. I expect one attacking play here. With more goals - both teams to score here.
AZ - Twente	1	2.30	Az are not in their best condition this season, but at hoem they perform comparatively well. On the other side Twente dont feel so comfortable away from home and there make some bad matches. I hope it will be one of them Home win here.

Picks by Beli:

Mainz - Jena	over 2.5	1.60	Mainz in last games won away in Monchengladbach 0-1.In three games of new season Mainz won 1 draw 1 and lost 1.At home Mainz won 6 daw 2 and lost 1 with goalsdiference 23:8.In other side Jena in three games of new season is still without win draw 1 and lost 2 games.In last game they lost home from Koln 1-3.In away games Jena have 1 win 5 draws and 3 lost games.In this game i see Mainz clear faorite but also i see that in this game we will see many goals.In 9 home games Mainz score 23 that is 2.55 goals per game while in other side Jena concede 22 goals that is 2.44 goals concede per game while score 17 goals.In last tree games of Jena all where Over 2.5 goals.In other side Mainz played one from three last games Over 2.5 and they lost that home 1-2 with Furth.From 9 home games Mainz played 6 Over 2.5 while 3 where Under 2.5.IN other side Jena from 9 away games played 8 Over 2.5 while only once where Under 2.5.I see many goals on this game Jena have bad defanse but they score almost in every game, in last 7 games they score at least one goal in game and from those 7 games 6 times where Over 2.5.I see another game with more goals.Over 2,5 for this game
Amiens - Ajaccio	under 2.5	1.65	Amiens in last game won Niort away 1-3.In last 5 games Amiens are haing gate results they won 3 last in ow and draw 2 games.At home Amiens won 4 draw 5 and lost 3 games.In other side Ajaccio won Montpellier 2-1 home in last game.IN last 5 games they won 1 draw 3 and lost 1.In away games Ajaccio won 3 draw 5 and lost 4 games with goals diference 8:8 in 12 games.Away games of Ajaccio are reason for my pick on this game.Ajaccio in 12 away games 10 time played Under 2.5 and 2 times Oer 2.5 goals.We see that in away games Ajaccio prefer more close game with not to many goals and more concentrated in defance reson of what are 5 draws in 12 away games.I dont see many goals on this game Amiens will lead te game will be quite favorite in this game but i dont think tht they can dominate totaly in the game and score many goals.Under 2.5 is grate for this game.
Telstar - AGOVV	1	1.80	Telstar seams to be more sreiouse to stay in te league they are showing grate games and hae good results.IN last game Telstar won Helmond home 2-0.In last 5 games Telstart won 2 draw 1 and lost 2.At home Telstart won 5 draw 1 and lost 8 games.I other side AGOVV in last game won home 5-0 Veendam.In 5 last games AGOV won 1 draw 1 and lost 3 games.In away games AGOV won 3 draw 2 and lost 9 games.Telstar won 10 in 28 games but 5 of tem won in last 10 games while 15 lost games that they made on 28 games only 3 made in last 10 games so this show beter improve of this team.In first game those two teams played in AGOVV Telstar won 0-1.I see Telstar favorite in this game and odds for home win are good to try.Home win in this game.
Dortmund - Rostock	1	1.60	Both teams start season with same results.In first three rounds of new season both teams won 1 draw 1 and lost 1 game.In last game Dortmund won Cottbus 0-2 away.At home Dortmund won 4 draw 2 and lost 3 games.In other side Rostock in last game won over Frankfurt home 1-0.In away games Rostock won 1 draw 1 and lost 7 games.Dortmund in new season still have not win at home while Rostock in new season still hae not loose away.In first match in Rostock dortmund won 0-1.Looking in tradition Dortmund are favorite also looking in current form i think that Dortmund will not have hard job with Rostock i see clear home win in this game.
Watford - Preston	1	1.60	Watford in last game manage to take one point after loosing 2-0 in HT they score 2 goals in second half and draw 2-2 with Charlton away.In last 5 games Watford have 3 wins and 2 draws.At home Watford won 7 draw 4 and lost 5 games.In other side Preston in last game lost away with Colchester 2-1.In last 5 games Preston won 2 and lost 3 games.In away games Preston won 2 draw 2 and lost 12.In last 5 away games Preston won 1 and lost 4.Preston play solid at home but they are realy bad in away games.In first game played in Preston home team won 1-0.I think this will be revange for Watford they are beter team they are coming from draw with Charlton and they need win in this game.I see clear home win in this game.

Grasshoppers - Xamax	1	1.85	Grasshoppers start new season with good results.In three games they took 7 points they won 2 and draw 1.In last game they won Arau away 1-2.At home Grasshoppers won 4 draw 4 and lost 2 games.In other side Xamax start new season bad with two lost games home wit Luzern 0-1 and away wth Basel 3-0, but in last game they won home Young Boys 3-1.In away games Xamax won 2 draw 3 and lost 5 games.In first season both games won Xamax away 1-2 and home 4-1, looking in current form of teams i dont think that Xamax can win another game.I see Grasshoppers favorite in this game and i think they will continou with good results.

Real Madrid - Getafe	1 AH	1.90	Real Madrid lost 2 of last 5 games give their result in table where they have now only 5 points more then second Barcelona.In last round they made grate mistake and i can say that they lost in field with Betis.They score first and didnt respect team of Betis that gave them grate lesson.Real Madrid are without draw or lost game at home they are 100 % in 11 games 11 wins home.In other side Getafe in last game draw home with Valencia 1-1.In last 3 games Getafe won 2 draw 2 and lost 1.In away games Getafe won 3 draw 2 and lost 7 games.In this game i dont think that Real Madrid will suprise again they took leson from the game with Betis and they will be contentrated and will respect team of Getafe from the start of game and i think that they will win by more then one goal.So i will take this game with AH.

Picks by rtsilva:

(Jan. P/L = +41,50 pts; Feb. P/L = +9,35 pts). Last week was bad (took me almost all my February profit). This weekend’s bets:
Setubal vs Sporting	10 pts Sporting	2.15	Sporting is recovering the form (5 wins in the last 6 games) and is one of the best teams in Portugal. Setubal is making a very good championship for their objectives (not to be relegated), and they’re way above their possibilities, so with this kind of odds, I advise you to make a good bet on Sporting.
A. Bilbao vs Villarreal	10 pts DRAW	3.25	A. Bilbao draws a lot at home (3-7-2) and they come from 2 wins (last win was an away win against A. Madrid!!), and not long ago, they draw against Barcelona (1-1), so they are in a good moment. On the other hand, Villarreal is a strong team away from home (6-0-5), and this looks the game that will produce their first draw away from home. Draw seems the natural result for this match. Good bet
Roma vs Fiorentina	10 pts Roma	1.90	Roma is a very strong team at home (8-2-1) and they come to this match after a 2-1 victory against Real Madrid (last Wednesday), which boost their confidence. Fiorentina is also a strong team with a good record away from home (5-5-1) but I’m going to believe that Roma is on fire now, and make a bet on them.
Sampdoria vs Inter	10 pts Sampdoria	4.10	Sampdoria is in fine form at the present (2 wins in the last 2 games) and is a strong team at home (7-3-1) with only 1 lost. Inter didn’t lost yet in the championship, but they are not playing well (they win but without playing well), and after the Champions League match against Liverpool, Ibrahimovic accused Materazzi from being the responsible of the defeat and they are not speaking to each other. Also the fans protested against the players and Mancini said the fans should learn how to be fans, Etc. So my point is, Inter is under fire (not on fire) and I believe that this is a good opportunity for Sampdoria to beat them (don’t forget that we are talking about odds of 4,10!!)
Guimarães vs Naval	10 pts Draw	3.70	Guimarães is 4th at the present but they seem to be on a downward curve (3 lost in last 4 games) and to tell you the truth, they have been a little lucky to win so many games. Naval is a modest team, with a good trainer, but they are hard to beat (usually they lose only by 1 goal) and they need the points. Also Naval’s record in the last 5 games (3-1-1) give us the perception that they will be difficult to beat, and that they are playing well (lost only to Benfica in a game that should have finished with a draw). So I predict a very tuff game. Draw is a good prediction.

Picks by hunt3r

Newcastle vs Manchester United	2	1.50	Newcastle very poor this period wont stand a chance , Manchester United last game in premiership was a loos 0-2 whit City, then in CL 0-0 whit Arsenal so its very sure that we will see some goals here but for sure Manchester will be to strong for Newcastle
Lyon vs Metz	Metz to score		Lyon will be tired after the Champions League match whit Manchester, i dont say that Lyon will not win but why not take Metz to score ?
Cfr Cluj VS Universitatea Craiova	1	1.25	Im from Romania dont you forget, Craiova will not have a chance againstmighty Cfr, the fight fot the title is cruel
Young Boys vs Sion	1	1.60	Young Boys dissapoint me last round, 1-3 whit Xamax but now are at home diffrent story here
Politehnica Iasi vs Steaua Bucharest	2	1.60	same story whit Cfr, Iasi will miss 5-6 regular players and Steaua will have the first 11 very strong, Steaua will win this

Picks by Empee:

Mouscron - Mechelen	2 points on Mechelen	3.80	Mouscron (under new coach Scifo) took only 1 pt out of 15 in their last 5 matches. Mechelen on the other hand is playing much better since the 2nd half of the competition started. They have a chance to win this with a sneaky goal.
Genk - Sint-Truiden	4 points on X2	2.33	In their last 5 matches Genk took 2 pts out of 15. This is also a “derby” in the province of Limburg and you all know derbies are hardfought. Sint-Truiden has a chance to take of point of this (weak) Genk.
Lokeren - Club Brugge	5 points on 1X	1.77	Lokeren have lost twice this season on own ground: against Brussels and Mons (2 relegation candidates). When they meet a higher-profile team, their defence is always a hard nut to crack.
Mouscron - Mechelen	6 points on Under 2.5	1.75	Mechelen’s last 5 games were all unders. Mouscron only scored 1 goal in their last 5 games. Think this will be under again.
Lokeren - Club Brugge	6 points on Under 2.5	1.70	Lokeren are a very under-ish team, they play extremely defensive. Club Brugge isn’t exactly known as a hard-scoring team either. small tip: Lokeren already drew 9 times 1-1, will this be their 10th?

Picks by Niksan:

Fulham v West Ham United	X2	1.41	Fulham are struggling at the moment losing almost every match or barely getting to a draw. The situation for this match will no be much different. The team is heading for relegation while West Ham still have a slim chance of getting into Europe. West Ham normally do well at Craven Cottage and are a decent away side, playing well on the break. The injured players of the team are starting to return and although the last couple of results have been poor (to say the least) i expect them to win - maybe a hard win 0-1 or 1-2 but i expect an away win. Im still thinking to insure myself with a draw as the game might not go well for the visitors but ill be thinking about when more info comes up.
Manchester City v Everton	1	2.35	I normally fancy Man City when they play at home as they demonstrated they are really a solid side when it comes to a game on their own stadium. This game i will back the citizens again. They did not perform really well in their last games but for the game vs their town rivals Man United. In that game they showed they are not done yet with the championship and will still fight for some top position at the end. In the first game between these 2 sides Man City lost with the minimum 0-1 and will be looking forward to getting a revenge on their stadium where as i saidthey are very strong. Everton on the other hand is a stong side too aiming for Europe places but like Man City have some problems in the last games. Im not aware of the injury situation but i think it is time Man City started winning again on their stadium.
Reading v Aston Villa	2	2.30	Aston Villa looks outstanding in the last losing just 1 of the last 11 games in the championship. Reading on the other hand have 6 loses on the trot and have lost their last 4 home games, put it simply, they are shocking! I agree Villa dont have the greatest away form but this one should be in the bag, they are pushing for europe and i expect a strong performance from villa to get the full 3 points.
Sheffield Wednesday v Cardiff City	X2	1.43	Wednesday are awful this season barely scoring and barely keeping a clean sheet.Cardiff had been on a nice little run before losing to Stoke and Norwich, but those two teams are a hell of a lot better than Wednesday are currently. I think it will be one of those matches where team frop the top of the table will beat a team from the bottom. Im going to back the draw too as the visitos team is still in the FA cup and the team may concentrate on in considering its position in the championship. Still i cant see them losing this game.
FC Valencia v Recreativo de Huelva	1	1.60	Valencia are coming into a great form recently and i think they will improve with every game that follows. Recreativo on the other hand are on a winning streak with 2 impressive wins in the last 2 games and even their away form is not that bad i think they will not be able to do something against the hosting team. Valencia will be without D. Villa but i still think they will be too much for the team of Recreativo. I will still think about this match whem some more info comes up but i dont think i will change my mind.
Totenham - Chelsea	X	3.20	The Carling Cup final will take place this weekend and will be most like the most interesting game of the day. As this is final - everything can happen. That is why i epect a very tough game as both side want the win very much. Berbatov - one of the top players of Totenham have said last week that his team is capable of winning two cups this season. Totenham has very important UEFA game during the weekend but i think they will not concentrate that much on this game - they won in the first leg 2-1 and their task for this match is not that hard. Chelsea on the other hand had a very tough match in Greece (CL game) drawing 0-0. I didnt watch the game but from aftermatch analysies i got the idea that Chelsead didnt perform well at all. Their championship form is not too good as well. What is more - Terry and Lampard will be out for this match and this makes me feel that this game will go to extra time.
VfL Wolfsburg v Hertha BSC Berlin	1	1.90	Wolfsburg are really flying right now winning their last 4 games. They are playing really well especially on their own stadium and i think they should not have any problems vs the struggling away team of Hertha. Their away record is really awful (2-0-7) and i expect it to get even worse after this match. I cant see anything other here but a comfortable home win.
