Weekend picks for you from SoccerVista.com
Have to thanks Xazar7a, Beli, rtsilva, Niksan and hunt3r!


Picks by Xazar7a:

FC Karnten - A.Lustenau	2	1.80	Karnten are last in Austria II Division with points. In the last 6 matches there is sign of improvement in this team they got 7 points from this matches - 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. This 3 points are with 2 more than the points which they earned earlier in the Championship. Lustenau is second currently and with 5 points behind the leader Kapfenberg they will look to win away at Friday. After a row of 3 losses they get back on track with 3 wins and in the last matches perform good. This match will be not so easy for them, but i think they will manage to win. Away win.
FC Lustenau - Bad Aussee	1	1.45	Lustenau perform good at home and had only one loss there. There last 2 matches were losses and they will look to get back on track with win over Aussee, which is last but one in the moment with 13 points. After a row of 10 losses they draw, won and draw, but in the last match they lost again. They will be the guests in this match and i think they will be not very confident away. I go here for home win.
SV Wehen - FC Kaiserslautern	1	2.05	Wehen are in great form right now and it looks like this time have great desire to play in Bundesliga I. In the last 5 matches they have 4 wins and 1 draw. On the other side it look that Kaiserslautern are in crisis and make their way to the regional leagues. Very inconstant play from them. I cant see them oppose Wehen enough good to get something. Home win here.
Angers - Sedan	under 2.5 goals	1.55	Angers are 9-th currently with 36 points. In last time they didnt recorded very good results: in the last 5 mathces they have 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. Sedan are 3 points in front of them and 1 place over. In the last 5 matches they have 3 wins and 2 losses. this two teams are too close and I expect one very strong match. I go here for under 2,5 goals.
Waalwijk - AGOVV	1	1.25	Waalwijk lost surprisingly in the last match and in this will look to recover their losing. They are only 2 points in front of the second so they have no place for wrong step. AGOVV have nothing to fight for this season, they are in the bottom of the table and hardly will be any obstacle besides they are guests. I go here for clear home win.
Volendam - Cambuur	1	1.33	Volendam will look for wrong step from Waalwijk and should win every their match if they want to get on the top. Currently they are 2 points after Waalwijk. Volendam play very good and in their last matches they have 3 wins 1 draw and 1 loss. I think here Volendam will play as strong as they can and 17-th placed Cambuur will not stop them. home win here.
Energie - Bayern	2	1.35	Energie is in very bad form and record loss after loss. Their last win the Bundesliga was on 14.12.2007. They hosts to Bayern Munich, which qualified for next round of UEFA Cup in the midweek. Then in the second leg played with the reserves. So with fresh power they will go into this match. Bayern is very strong team and I can see here only away win.
Derby - Manchester United	1 (AH +2)		If Manchester win this match they will go on the top of the table in Premiership. The match against Derby looks like a walk in the park. They lost 6-1, with 4 goals from Franky Lampard, from Chelsea in the midweek. They hardly will have any powers to oppose another grand. But in my opinion they will not loss this match with a lot of goals. Man united are very strange team and sometimes over the easiest opponents they make stupid things. So i will go here for home win with +2 AH.
Liverpool - Reading	1	1.25	Liverpool is unstoppable right now and they win match after matches. It look that the next victim will be Reading. Which come in Liverpool after 2 wins , before that they was in row of 7 losses. Reading dont play very strong away and have only one away win which was recorded on 01.03.2008. Liverpool are great right now and despite the match in the midweek, they will show their best. Home win here.
Hibs - Kilmarnock	1	1.60	After a seria of bad matches Hibs get back with 4 wins and currently in the last 6 matches they have 5 wins and 1 loss. On the other side Kilmarnock has 2 wins and 4 losses and are currently near the bottom of the table. In my opinion Hibs is the better team here and i go for home win.
Arsenal - Middlesbrough	1	1.25	Arsenal recorded 3 draws in their last 3 matches in Premiership which can cost them the first place, because Man united are with match in hand and 2 points after them. Arsenal have no place for wrong steps right now and it time to win 3 points. Boro have match in the middle of the week and this will have influence over their play, they will be tired. It is the perfect chance for Arsenal to start new winning streak and i think they will. I will go here for home win.

Picks by rtsilva:

(2008 P/L = -2,65 pts). This weekend’s bets:
Leixões vs Porto	10 pts Porto	1.60	What can I say? Leixões doesn’t have a chance. Porto is far, far better, and Leixões is a small club, from a small town very near from Porto. 60% ROI on this game looks like Christmas for me.
Bochum vs Stuttgart	10 pts DRAW	3.30	Both teams are in good heart at the present, Stuttgart is recovering strongly (3 wins in last 3), but Bochum doesn’t lose in the last 3 games. Stuttgart is a better team but they played Saturday and last Tuesday, so they will be in their third game in only 8 days. A confident Draw.
Bremen vs Wolfsburg	10 pts DRAW	3.75	Bremen lost their last two games (Budensliga 6-3 and UEFA Cup 2-0) and they should be a little demoralized, but more important than that is the opponent. Wolfsburg is one of the good surprises of this championship and they have a good away record (4-2-5). Also Wolfsburg has won 7 of their last 9 games!!!! Draw seems a good bet on this.
Livorno vs Parma	5 pts Parma	3.75	Both teams are fighting to escape relegation. They are separated only by 1 point in the Series A, and both seems to be in a bad moment (Livorno last 9 games: 1-2-6; Parma: 1-4-4). My guess is that anything could happen, but why not back Parma? If they win it will be a good step towards their objective, and as a team that has more tradition I will be support them on this.
Hamburg vs Dortmund	5 pts Dortmund	6.00	The history between these two, tell us that Dortmund, could provide us the surprise of the week by winning in the home of Hamburg (unbeaten at home). In fact, in the last 10 games that Hamburg played, at home, against Dortmund, they LOST 6!!!, draw 3 and won only once !!! Speculative bet I know, but life is a risk. Dortmund to maintain the tradition?

Picks by Niksan:

Fulham v Everton	2	2.00	Cant actually understand why are Everton so overpriced.. I guess bookmakers may now something more than we do but still... Everton are unbeaten in 9, while Fulham have just one win in their last 17! According to all statistics it should be an easy away win. Everton are on an impressive run right now and are aiming at CL places so motivation should be at maximum. Additional motivation should be the fact that they are out of Europe now so all concentration will be on PL from now on. I can see a comfortable away win here.
Birmingham City v Newcastle Utd	1	2.30	Both teams here are going not really good in the moment. Still the host manage to score a lot lately while Newcastle has 4:27 in the last 10 matches - awful isnt it? What makes me feel these 3 points will go to Birmingham is the fact their performance is improving a bit in the last few games and this may turn to be the key to their future performance. They managed to draw Arsenal and beat Totenham at home so why should Newcastle stop them ? It may be a hard one but i expect a home win here.
Man City v Tottenham	2	2.75	Imo this is the best bet this weekend for sure. Just cant miss it. Spurs are really going good now and even the crushing lose to PSV after 120 minutes playing should not stop them from taking the 3 poits home. King may be missing for Spurs at the back but this will not impact the team's awesome performance. Season is not over for them and im sure Ramos will demand the best performance from them and finishing high enough in the league table. Add to all this the poor Man City's performance and their awful defense + 2.85 for an away win. I doubt there will be another gift like this from the bookies. I also will not be surprised if this goes into a draw so some of you might try it just X or X2 but ill go for full away win here.
Port Vale v Leeds United	2	1.80	Another gift from the bookies i think. No matter Leeds are not demonstrating their best lately i still think they will be too much for the terrible team of Port Vale. Its about class difference - top team playing with the last in the table. Leeds were defeated last round so they should get back on the road now and will be aiming for the maximum in this game. As i read in a web newspaper the couch will go with full squad for this game - "We should not underestimate them and everything will be ok" he said. Port Vale's home record is awful - (3-5-10) and will get even worse after this match i think.
Forest Green Rovers v Halifax Town	X2	1.76	Forest is a favourite here according to the bookies but i dont think it will be that easy for them. Their performance is not that good lately and varies from a 6-0 win over Weymouth to a lose to Altrincham 0-1. Halifax on the other hand are on a good run right now even get wins over Histon 3-1 and Torquay 3-2 in the last round so wwhy cant they beat Forest ? HAlifax does not have important injured players and will try to do their best to get something from the unstable team of Forest Green and i think they will get something out of this but i doubt they will lose.
Almeria - Barcelona	1X	1.83	As i said i expect a hard match here for Barca. I know it cant be seen often Barca losing 3 games in the championship in a row but they do not show that can comfort with that forthcoming fact. 8th vs 2nd are meeting here but their current places do not actually show their actual performance. Barca's away form is ordinary (4-6-3), and they have lost their last 2 league games. Almeria are 7-3-4 at home, and haven't lost at home since before Christmas. This makes me feel it will be a very hard game for the visitors for which most probably Toure and Ronaldinho will miss the game both having some injury problems.
FC Villarreal v Real Zaragoza	1 (AH 0:1)	2.65	After the game of Atletico Madrid this is the next easiest game to predict i think. Two teams in totally different condition. Villareal who are flying right now after the impressive win over Barca last round and R. Zaragoza who have 1 win and 4 loses in the last 5 rounds. I doubt ehy will be able to get something out of this game and see a comfortable home win with a lot of goals. Pick - Villareal to win by 2 or more goals
VfL Bochum v VfB Stuttgart	2	2.30	It was about this time last year when Stuttgart started thier impressive run that actually gave them the 1st place in the championship. This year the situation is the same - a not impreesive first half of the championshio and now 4 consecutive wins (against (away) MSV Duisburg 3:2,(home) Karlsruher SC3:1,(home) Werder Bremen 6:3, (away) Energie Cottbus 1-0). Bochum on the other hand perform really well too lately though they show some uncertainty. In the first match between this team Stuttgart lost on their own stadium and will be looking for a revenge now i think. I expect a very interesting game here, a tough match after which Stuttgart should be celebrating.

Picks by hunt3r:

For this weekend i propose a combo , i know you guys might say that 100% does not exist in betting but this combo is 100% sure
Club Brugge vs FC Molenbeek Brussels	1	1.22	What to say a very good opportunity to make some money on this game. Last 2 games for Club Brugge ended in a loss ( 2-0 ), b now they play at home agains last place Molenbeek. No more to say 1,22 is the odd Club Brugge to win.
Arsenal vs Middlesbrough	1	1.25	Arsenal has to end this bad stand in the last few games, last round against Wigan 0-0 , Middlesbrough is tired this will see in this match, a tired Middle and A hungry and fired up Arsenal , @ 1,25
Almeria VS Barcelona	2	1.80	Almeria has a impressive record at home but Barca slipped up some games and cant afford to drop points, away win @ 1,80
Gloria Bistrita vs Dinamo Bucuresti	2	1.80	Hard game but is Dinamo game, Borcea will not stand another draw or loss here.
