Picks by Xazar7a:

Augsburg - Gladbach	both teams to score	1.70	The hosts are not in their best form right now, after 2 wins at the beginning of February they lost, draw and lost again. At Friday they face the difficult Gladbach's challenge. They are topping the table with 41 points 4 in front of the second Mainz 05. Augsburg are with 14 points after Gladbach, but this match will be difficult. Augsburg play good at home ground and have only one loss. I expect one interesting match here and goals in both nets. Here i go for both teams to score.
Cluj - Grolia Buzau	1	1.20	Cluj is the best team in Romania this season and deservely sit on the first place there with 49 points, 5 after it is Rapid Bucuresti with 44. Cluj is still unbeaten at home with 21:7 G.D. Last match the lost away from Steaua away with 3-1 despite they take the lead with another goal from Eugen Trica. At Friday evening they face far more easier challenge, they hosts to Groria Buzau. They lay on 12-th place and had one of the worst away records in this league - 1w 2d 7l. In my opinion Cluj will have no problems here. Home win.
Le Havre - Ajaccio	1	1.65	Le havre had great chance to get lead of 4 points in front of the second Nantes. Le havre took the lead against Troyes but in the last 15 minutes the let 4 goals in there net. At Friday they face much more easier team. Ajaccio are on 10-th place currently, they have only one win in their last 6 matches it was at home with 2-1 against Montpellier. On the other side Le havre is in very good form, except the loss against Troyes they has 4 wins and one draw in the last 6 matches. Le havre is the better team here and despite i dont expect very easy match i will go here for Home win.
Sedan - Montpellier	under 2.5 goals	1.55	Both teams are now in their optimal form, but perform comparatevely good. Montpellier play better at home, but away are also not very easy opponent. Sedan win and lost their last 2 matches at home. I expect here strong battle between two teams with same abilities. I will go here for under 2.5 goals
Waalwijk - Top Oss	both teams to score	1.50	Waalwijk lost their last match and allowed Zwolle to get on top along with them. The hosts will look here for all the points because another wrong step and this could cost them the first place. But Top Oss is not easy team, despite some bad results in last time, and they have interesting leagues status 10w 10d 10l, the golden mean. Here i will go for both teams to score.
Dordrecht - Zwolle	2	2.15	Zwolle are in great form and after seria of wins the get on the top with 58 points just liek Waalwijk. Away team will look to keep their good performnce and against Dordrecht, which is very unconvincing in last time, their last 5 matches are 3 draws and 2 losses, which was not typical for this teams last season, but now is different. I expect strong Zwolle to get all the points here. Away win.
Gamba Osaka - JEF United Chiba	1	1.45	There is a big difference between this two teams, last year i bet a lot on gamba and they make me good money, JEF United had not enough power to overcome them in my opinion. I will go here for home win.
Litex - Vihren	1	1.15	Litex start the year good with draw against the league leaders CSKA, which was first for them on "Bulgaian army". Vihren won only 3 points away from home and is not a team which is strong enough to get something from Litex. Here I can see only home win.
Blackburn - Fulham	1	1.55	Blackburn is looking for their next victim. After they was beaten by Arsenal they won 4-1 against Bolton and won against Newcastle with 1-0. Blackburn face Fulham which are in big gap right now. After the win over Villa, now they are on run of 3 losses. Blackburn perform better and better and i expect at home to take the maximum of this match. Home win.
Zaragosa - Atl. Madrid	both teams to score	1.72	Atletico go into this match after 4-2 win over Barcelona which surely have motivated them. Zaragosa on the other side is on row of 4 losses and something looks wrong here and the morale is getting low. Firstly i was thinking of Atletico's win, but i think Zaragosa can show something, so i will go for both teams to score here.
PSV - Ajax	over 2.5 goals	1.60	PSV surely will be tired after the match for UEFA against Tottenham, but will be motivated after the win 1-0. Best teams ever in Eredivisie face each other in this match and it will be great to watch it, i hope to have chance to do this. The only thing here which is sure is that there will be goals . Here i go for over 3 goals.

Picks by Beli:

Le Havre - Ajaccio	1	1.65	Le Havre after 10 games without loose they lost in last game fom Troyes 4-1 even they scoe first.In last 5 games Le Havre won 3 daw 1 and lost 1.At home they won 6 draw 7 and are still without lost game.In other side Ajaccio In last game draw with Reims home 0-0.In last 5 games they won 1 draw 2 and lost 2 games.In away games Ajaccio have 3 wins 5 draws and 5 lost games.In first game Le havre won Ajaccio home 0-3.For this game i see Le Havre big favorite and i dont think that they will make another mistake after last one with Troyes.I see home win in this game.
Chateauroux - Guingamp	under 2.5	1.55	Chateayroux in last game lost from Nior 2-1.In last 5 games they hae 2 wins and 3 lost games.They win home games and lost away games.But in last 10 games Chateauroux 7 played under 2.5 and 3 where Over 2.5.All last 5 home games where Under 2.5.In other side Guingamp in last game won Sedan home 2-1.In last 5 games Guingamp won 3 draw 1 and lost 1.Also Guingamp from last 10 games 7 where Unde 2.5 and 3 where Over 2.5.In away games Guingmap have 3 wins 3 draws and 7 lost games with goaldiference 13:16.in First game those two teams played with lot of goals final esult was 2-2, but for this game i dont think that we will see many goals.So i will prefer Under 2.5 for this game.
RKC Waalwijk - Top oss	1	1.50	RKC lost 2 last games.First tey lost from olendam home 2-3 then in last game they wee suprised from Cambuur 2-0 away.In last 5 games RKC took 7 points 2 wins and 1 draw.RKC are best team in home games.Fom 15 games RKC won 11 draw 2 and lost 2.In other side Top Oss ae playing well in last 5 games they won 1 draw 2 and lost 2 games.In last game Top Oss draw home with Dordrecht.In away games Top Oss won 4 draw 5 and lost 6 games.In first match those teams played there was no winer they draw 2-2.For this game i dont think that there is place for another mistake for RKC 2 lost in last games that is not good for team that want to keep top of the table.I see ome win and back for RKC int his game.
Interblock Ljublana - Nova Gorica	1	2.20	Both teams are in the uper place of te table both teams are figting for promotion even it looks so hard to get Domzale wit points that have 10 points more then second place.After te first round of new season Interblock won Draa Ptuj awa 0-2, while Nova Gorica suprise from the begin they lost home from Primoje 1-3.At home in last season Interblock won 4 draw 4 and lost 3.In other side Noca Gorica in away games won 6 draw 1 and lost 3 games in last season.In head 2 head games in last 2 years Interblock never won Nova Gorica.In last season Nova Gorica won both games with same result 1-0.In 6 games from those 2 years Nova Gorica won 5 and draw 1.But in this season i think that Inteblock prepare good to take first win over Nova Gorica and i think that tey can do that.I see grate value on home win for this game.
HNK Sibenik - Medimurje	1	1.50	Fight of te team of te botom of table.Sibenik start good this season with win over Osijek 1-0 but in last game tey lost from Hajduk Split 2-0 away even but te show good game.At home Sibenik won 5 games draw 3 and lost 2 games.In other side Medimurje lost btoh games of new season.First they lost away from Cibalia 2-0 then in last game they lost from Osijek home 0-1.Medimurje looks realy poor team in away games they arw without win draw 2 games and lost 8, and score 6 goals in 10 away games.In 21 league games Medimurje won only 2.I think tat this figt of bottom like called will be in side of Sibenik for this game.I see tem favorite in this game and hey need points and i think they can take those points.

Picks by rtsilva:

(Jan. P/L = +41,50 pts; Feb. P/L = -36,25 pts). This weekend’s bets:
Barcelona vs Villarreal	10 pts DRAW	3.90	Villarreal is in a terrific form (5 No lose) and Barcelona “lost” Messi in the last Champions League match. They’re not playing well (lost 4-2 against A.Madrid in the last game), and also, Villarreal don’t want to lose their 4th place that gives them direct access to CL next year, so I think this will be a close match and my prediction is a Draw.
Real Madrid vs Español	10 pts DRAW	4.10	Real is in a poor form and they are surely very disappointed with their elimination from the champions league. On the other hand, Español is still in the fight for a CL place and they are a very tuff team to beat, so @ these odds, a Draw seems a good bet to make.
Tottenham vs West Ham	10 pts Tottenham	1.90	West Ham seems to be in a poor form (2 lost in last 2 games) and they were bang by a 4-0 against Liverpool in their last match. Tottenham still dreams with a UEFA cup place but they cannot afford to lose points at home if they want to get there. 1,90 is a good investment’s return for this game.
Empoli vs Milan	10 pts Milan	1.81	After their elimination of the Champions League, Milan will be full concentrated in the Italian championship to try to be in the CL next year. I’m convinced that Empoli will be no match for Milan, and they find themselves in a poor moment at the time (2 lost in last 2 games). 1,81 is a good investment’s return for this game.
Liverpool vs Newcastle	5 pts Newcastle	8.00	Liverpool is in a good form, but they are a little irregular and they are playing to many games in a short period of time. Also I think Benitez will make some changes in the team, on the account of the tuff match against Inter, that they will have next week, and that could cost them the game, producing the surprise of the week. Speculative bet!

Picks by TONNY

Man U v Portsmouth	1	1.30	Man U are in good form and aim the double. They won four of last five drawing the one at Lyon in Champions league. They ousted Lyon at home by a 1-0 win in mid-week. Portsmouth showed a regain of form but won on poor teams in recent games. They lost last at Everton by 3-1 and lost last encounter at Man U on 30 January by 2-0. Man U won all that games at last seven visits of Portsmouth and I see them winning an eight time in succession. Home.
Barnsley v Chelsea	2	1.30	Chelsea also aim to get at least the FA Cup Trophy. They lost one game in ten and won last two by an aggregate of 7-0 : 4-0 away at West Ham and 3-0 at home on Greek team Olympiakos in the Champions League in mid-week. Their excellent form cannot be questioned. Chelsea should be winners at lowe division Barnsley who are winless in last four(LDDD). Away win
Middlesbro v Cardiff	1	1.55	Middlesbro should be able to overcome Cardiff from the Championship. The latter come to the game on the back of four winless games (LLLD) against low opposition while Middlebro lost only two games form last ten. These two losses were among their last three and they lost away at excellent-at-home and high-flying Liverpool (3-2) while scoring twice and to improving Reading by 1-0. They should be able to win here. Home win.
Blackburn v Fulham	1	1.55	Blackburn are now in seventh place at three points from the sixth. They are keeping their chances to be among the top six and will look for the win here when hosting poor Fulham who are on three losses in a row and lost also their lats three away. Blackburn won last two and from last seven lost only one away at Arsenal 2-0. Home win.
Liverpool v Newcastle	1	1.40	Liverpool are back on the right track. They are at fourth place and at five points from Chelsea. Liverpool won last four in succession and scored 12 goals in them. They won on Inter 2-0, Middlesbro 3-2, away at Bolton 3-1 and last Wednesday on West Ham 4-0. They should confirm their good run when hosting poor and declining Newcastle who are winless in last seven with two draws and five defeats. Newcastle lost last three in succession. Home win.
Wigan v Arsenal	2	1.55	After the excellent 2-0 away win on AC Milan in the Champions league in mid-week, Arsenal are boosted and will undoubtedly look forward to the win at Wigan and keep their leadership in the EPL. Arsenal could only draw in the three games prior to that win. Wigan for their part show WLWD in last four but met low opposition. Arsenal should resume winning in the Premier League. Away win.
Sunderland v Everton	2	2.15	Everton would have had a hard fought game at Fiorentina in the UEFA Cup on Thursday before their visit at Sunderland. But they are on such a good run of form and should be able to earn the three points here.
Tottenham v West Ham	1	1.75	Tottenham are in excellent form and will have had a good game against PSV on Thursday. They should be able to overcome poor West Ham who lost 4-0 in mid-week to Liverpool. Home win.
Swansea v Millwall	1	1.45	Run away leaders Swansea are much able to win on low placed Millwall here. The latter won one and drew one from last five on low opposition. But lost three games to better teams. They won’t make the weight against Swansea who won last game away at Huddersfield. Home Win.
Doncaster v Port Vale	1	1.40	Doncaster are now in second place and won eight of last ten games, losing one to leaders Swansea and one to ex-leaders Carlisle. They are like a winning machine and should have no difficulty to overcome rock-bottom Port Vale who are winless in last nine (2D-7L) and lost last four in succession. Home Win.

Picks by Niksan:

Wigan - Arsenal	2	1.55	During the midweek Arsenal has showed that when the team needs a certain result - it gets it. The team is playing really good right now and should be additionally boosted after the win over Milan. The struggle for the first place is getting to its crucial point and Arsenal is not supposed to lose points in such game so i expect a comfortable away win here.
Middlesbrough v Cardiff City	1	1.55	A very interesting game is expected here. Its the cup magic here and everything is expected to happen. I think Boro should be too strong for cardiff who haven't been scoring lately, and have even been struggling to raise enough players to fill the bench up. Cardiff haven't scored in 4 games, while Boro have only conceded 2 in 5 home games. I will say it again - its a cup game and we can expect almost everything but i still cant imagine a team from the Championship to get something from a PL team. It may be a hard game but i expect a home win here.
Blackpool v Southampton	1	1.90	Blackpool let me down in midweek but i am keeping the faith here. By all accounts they could easily have been 2 or 3 nil up at half time in their midweek game against barnsley, and deserved to win. Before that they had great wins at home to charlton and away to norwich, and seem to be playing with their tails up. Although southampton ended a run of 3 defeats with a good draw at wolves in midweek, they are still playing poorly and i don't think they will be looking forward too much to a trip up to the seaside. Home win for me.
Sheffield Wednesday v QPR	under 2.5	1.70	Well.. not much analysis here - plain statistics. QPR's last 2 away games have been 0-0. Wednesday's last 4 games have been two 0-0's and two 1-0's, including the heartbreaking 96th minute job the other night. Moreover some of the first team players of the host will be most probably out and this will slow down the game even more. So i expect a boring game where goals will be hard to achieve.
Southend Utd v Luton Town	1	1.45	Another very interesting game here where it will be all about class difference and ambitions. This is the bet of the week in the league for me. Two completely different team will fight for the 3 points. Southend - a generally strong at home team - who needs the win in order to keep the preasure to the teams above it and to get closer to the playoffs zone which is the main aim of the team as i read in an interview a week or two ago. Luton on the other hand is a struggling team that performs not really well lately. Its away record is (1-4-11). Well... i think this is enoguh and nothing can be added here. Home win for me that can even be tried with -1 HC.
Real Madrid - Espanyol	X	4.10	As you may have already noticed im a big fan of Real but they lately they dont perform the way im used to watch them. Something is happening in the team and i cant actually get what it is. Now after the defeat from Roma all eyes should be concentrated on the championship but this extra preasure will come up in the very first match and that is vs Espanyol. I expect two outcomes from this game - 1 is that Real will smash the visitors with loads of goals (i actually thought the same in the game vs Roma) and the second (most probable) outcome is another failed game. There are a lot of first team player that are injured and as we can see the reserves cant actually substitute them well enough. On the other hand Espanyol is a nice team that has already beaten Real previously in the championship so i think it will be a tide game here ending with a draw.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen - Hannover 96	1	1.70	Leverkusen is really flying lately. After the disasterous begining of the championship they are now going stronger and stronger. They got a very important win over Hamburger a few hours ago and will feel really comfortable in the game vs Hannover. The visitor have a moderate performance away from home (4-3-4) and all teams should not underestimate them. However, Hannover is not going well in the last few games expect for the win in the last round which according to some newspapers was not really deserved. For me it will be a hard game for the hosts but their experience in such games should help them i think and they will win by 2 late goals

Picks by LEDI17:

Borussia Dortmund - Hertha Berlin	over 2.5	1.75	Both teams have a great attack as Borussia Dortmund scores a goal every 47 minutes and Hertha Berlin scores a goal every 72 minutes. They want to fight the way up to Uefa zone in Bundesliga and will not let to miss another chance again. They are equal teams and will do the same error that they did when the season started. They will attack a lot and will not defend.
Manchester United - Portsmouth	1	1.30	Manchester United are in a great form and they want to continue to maintain this form after winning in Champions League against Lyon. Their coach Alex Ferguson had declared that the team will win all 3 competitions that they are runing in. They cant do any mistakes in Fa Cup because it is with the knockout system with only one match and if they loose this time they cant repair it again.
Montrose - East Stirling	1	1.50	Montrose have won 7 last head to head matches with East Stirling. Also East Stirling have lost for 7 matches in row and they have 9 matches away without wining. Montrose are in the 3rd place and they want to climb they way up to second division. East Stirling are in the 19th place and they haven't show any quality. They have very weak players so they can't afford the Montrose power.
Yverdon - SC Cham	1	1.40	SC Cham are in the last place in their Division and they have a very weak team. They also have a very weak attack as they score a goal in every 165 minutes. Yverdon also are not in a great form as they have 3 matches without wining. But this is a chance for them to change their form as tey have in front a very weak team. They will try to climb up in the position and I think that they will make it.
Bellinzona - Locarno	1	1.25	Bellinzona are in the first place in their division with one point ahead Fc Vaduz. They have a great team and they will not miss the chance to continue their good form. They have 6 matches without loosing and Locarno have 5 matches that loose. Bellinzona have a great attack because they have scored goal every 36 minutes and a great defence as they concede a goal every 113 minutes.
PSV - Ajax	both teams to score	1.60	PSV are in the 1st place and Ajax in 2nd place in Eredivise. It's a hard game and both tems will play for a win. If PSV wins this match they will be close to the champion award and if Ajax wins they will close their gap with PSV. Both of them will attack and will score a lot of goals because in front of them they have their eternal rivals.

Picks by olis:

Fenerbahce - Vestel Manisaspor	1st Half goals > 2nd Half golas	3.20	Fenerbahce playes more than 60% of the games with more goals in first half. Nice odd and statistically should be a good opportunity to win some money. Fenerbahce hasn't played 1 >2 for the last three games in the Turkey league 1 so now is the time.
Torino - Atalanta	X under 2.5	3.00 1.50	Both teams play not very well lately and they are in the middle of the table. Nice one to share points. Also not expecting to see much goals on this game so under 2.5 should be positive outcome.
Caen - Lorient	X	2.90	Caen has a bad serie of two defeats in a row so it has to get some points in this game. Lorient is a pretty hard beating team so this should be a nice draw.

Picks by hunt3r:

Rkc Waalwijk vs Top Oss	1	1.50	Waalwijk RKC and Zwolle FC have the same number of points 58, last round Waalwijik lost 2-0 away, what can i say about this team, they have power they scored 69 points so far and they need 3 points today at home it will be pretty easy. Top Oss away not so good LDWDL ( last 5 games ) I think is time for Waalwijk to recover the points that lost so far.
Pandurii Tg.jiu vs Steaua Bucharest	2	1.35	Steaua won home whit Cfr 3-1 , now have to beat Pandurii to be in cards. If u look at statistics Steaua not playing very good away but now are in form and with the new players Steaua will shine. Pandurii are last place with a very bad record 2 ( 1,35 )
Wigan vs Arsenal	2	1.55	Arsenal won with Milan 2-0 but in premier league things went bad for them last rounds. Now are only 1 point in front of Manchester United. They have a easy match against Wigan and its time for Arsenal to win in premier league too. Manchester next match on premier will be at Derby ( easy match for them too ) so Arsenal will have to take all 3 points in this game.
Fenerbahce vs Manisa	1	1.25	This is the game that i was watching and tracking. Fener last round 0-0 away and the round before they lost 2-0. The battle in Turkey is veri tight Galata and fener 51 points and Besitkas 1 place with 52 points. Easy game for Fener and 3 points .
Siena vs Fiorentina	X	2.80	This game i propose to bet single. Fiorentina made a good game in uefa still whitout Mutu they are victorious. But Fiorentina will be tired and that we will see in this game. Siena doing pretty well in home games and actualy in form they beat last round empoli away 2-0. I hope Siena will not beat Fiorentina, i expect a booring game maybe 0-0
