Weekend picks for you from SoccerVista.com
Have to thanks Xazar7a, Beli, rtsilva, Niksan and LEDI17!



Picks by Xazar7a:

Austria Lustenau - Schwandorf	1	1.80	Austria are not in their optimal form at the moment, but they are good team. They hosts this match and this will be advantage for them. Schwandorf showed an improvement but they are not as classy as Austria. It will be interesting match but i think the home team will get all the points. Home win.
Zwolle - Volendam	both teams to score	1.50	Two teams in very good form go into this match with the only one purpose to get the first place. Volendam is already on it after a row of very good results. Zwolle also played good matches and managed to get up in the standings. One is sure in this match it will be great and I think here one very good bet will be both teams to score.
Vidima - Litex	2	1.30	Litex play very good football and i expect they to get better place in the standings. Vidima is not a team which could stop them in my opinion, Litex made some good matches in last time and i expect they to continue their good play. Away win here.
Birmingham - Manchester city	HT - X 1 (AH 0.5:0)	1.95	Birmingham is very interesting team for me. Sometimes they are the worst team, but sometimes make miracles. It depends on how they will play. City made very bad matches and not are 9-th in the league table. I think if Birmingham go out and play defensively they could even win this match. Manchester are team which is not very active in the first half, it's like they try to get used to their opponents play. I think this match will be not vey easy for them. I will go here for draw at the half time and also Birmingham home win draw not bet or Birmingham +0.5 AH.
Bolton - Arsenal	2	1.60	Arsenal dont have win from 11.02 when they won over Blackburn in Premiership. Wrong step after wrong step made them go on the 3 place and to be 6 points after Man United. Last weekend was real disaster when Arsenal took the lead over Cheslse but with 2 goals of Drogba the Blues took the points. Bolton is in very bad form and i think Arsenal have no right to ask for easier opponent. This match is their chance to get back on track and think they will. I go here for clear away win.
Liverpool - Everton	under 2.5	1.70	This match will be one of the most exciting of the weekend. Liverpool get into this match after 3-0 loss from Man united. This match is derby, but i am not so sure that we will watch very attacking football, i remember he last 2-3 matches between this two matches and they was not great entertainment. I expect here one strong match with not a lot of goals. I go here for under 2.5 goals.

Picks by Beli:

Hoffenheim - Augsburg	1	1.55	In last game Hoffenheim draw with Mainz away even they score two goals.But first was in own goal scored by Radek Spilacek for mainz win 1-0 and then in last minutes Ba demba draw for final result 1-1.Hofenheim are showin grate games in new season.In new season this was first draw in last game with Mainz after 7 wins in row.Those results brought them in second place in table in fight for first league.At home Hoffenheim won 7 draw 2 and lost 3 games.In new season at home they are 100% they won all 4 games.In other side Augsburg start new season good with two wins but then things went wrong for them.In last 5 games they won 1 draw 1 and lost 3 games.In last game they lost from Paderborn home 0-1.In away games Augsburg won 3 draw 2 and lost 8 games.This year those teams played 2 times.First in league game in Augsburg they draw 2-2 then in Cup game they draw again 2-2 but Hoffenheim won in ET 4-2.Tonight i see Hoffenheim grate favorite their manager invest to much in team they have grate players and they have big financial support and i think they can win this game that will bring them one step closter to win 1-st place.Home win in this game.

Eindhoven - Emmen	over 2.5	1.46	Eindhoven in this game i dont think that have big chances to win but at least i think they can try to take something any point fromt his game.In other side Emmen are playing well they are showing games with many goals.They know to score goals but also they easy can concede goal they dont have so strong defansive line that will give litel hope for Eindhoven to do something more.In 17 home games Eidhoven 11 times played Over 2.5 while 6 times Under 2.5 In other side Emmen in away games from 17 games 14 times played Over 2.5 and 3 times Under 2.5.In last game Eindhoven lost away 3-1 while Emmen also lost away 5-1.I think in this game we will see also goals.Emmen will look for three points int his game and will play offansivly and meybe open their game that will give chances to Eindhoven to score.Over 2.5

Picks by rtsilva:

(2008 P/L = -2,40 pts). This weekend’s bets:
Derby vs Fulham	10 pts Fulham	2.40	Fulham is in a very difficult situation in the Premiership and if they still want to fight for escaping relegation they have to win this match. Derby is not from this championship (Premier) and they play only for pride. Anyway it will be a tuff match, but I think that motivation will be the key for the outcome of this match and thus Fulham will produce their first away win.
Monaco vs Rennes	10 pts Monaco	2.15	Monaco is in a 9 games series without winning (counting the cup match) and on the other hand Rennes is in a 5 No Lose, but we have to take into consideration that Monaco has played against the best teams in France (Lyon, Bordeaux, Nancy, Marseille, Lille …) and played away some matches against good teams at home (PSG, Caen). Rennes is the other way around (played against weak teams), so things are not that simple. I think Monaco will win this (they’ve won at Rennes’s home) and I like the odds for the home team.
Real Madrid vs Sevilla	10 pts DRAW	3.35	Real hasn’t been at his best since they’ve lost (injury) Van Nistelrooy. They’ve lost the last match (against Valencia at home) and they are not playing well at all!!!. Sevilla doesn’t need introduction and they are still fighting for a Champions League spot (despite having lost in their last match). Also they have a very good record against RM (Head to Head in last two years: Real wins 1, Draws 0 and Sevilla wins 5!!!). A Draw seems the logical result for this match.
Braga vs Leixões	5 pts Leixões	7.00	Leixões won the only match between these two in the last 2 years, and they’ve changed the trainer to “attack” the lasts games of the season, on their fight to escape relegation. Braga is the disappointing of the season, but they are the better team. My bet here is a speculative one, but the 7/1 odds does not reflect the true chances of Leixões in this match (don’t forget that at the end of a season surprises are more common, because of the motivation of the teams). So a small amount in the away team is advised.
Nacional vs U.Leiria	5 pts U.Leiria	7.00	Nacional has nothing to lose and nothing to gain. The season is over for them. No motivation (last 3 games: 2 lost and 1 draw). U.Leiria can still escape from relegation but they have to perform a miracle winning a lot of the remaining games. Anyway the difference between these two is not 7/1 so, like the game before, I’ll speculate that U.Leiria can produce a big surprise and win this match. Because this is a speculative bet you should put a small amount on this.

Picks by Niksan:

here are my picks for this weekend - i hope they will be at least as good as last weekend
Birmingham City v Manchester City	X2	1.46	A very interesting and hard game is expected here. Birmingham are favourites according to the bookmakers and i cant actually understand why is that. Yes, they had very impressive games at their own stadium getting points from very strong teams such as Tottenham (won 4-1), Arsenal (drawn twice 2-2 and 1-1), West Ham(1-1), Newcastle(1-1) etc. They lost their last game vs Reading and will be eager now to get back to winning days. For the hosts only James McFadden is doubtful for this game so the coach will have his full team ready for what i expect it to be a titanic battle. Man City on the other hand are not going really well lately. They have 1 win, 2 draws and 2 loses in their last 5 games but in my opinion they are getting stronger with each game. Moreover, M. Petrov who had a 3-game susspension is improving his form and is back now to his best games. For the visitors Michael Ball and Micah Richards are doubtful for the game. After all i expect a dramatic clash with low scor ing which i think the citizens will not lose.
Tottenham Hotspur v Newcastle Utd	1	1.60	The other game ive chosen from EPL is the visit of Newcastle to the hostile White Hart Lane. Tottenham have (8-3-4) with pretty stable results at home. They have shown they can grab points from the strong teams in the league so why should Newcastle - an average team - stop them? The hosts have no serious injuries and their manager will have the best team. From the friendly game of Bulgaria in the midweek i could see Berbatov playing with not that much spirit but i guess it will be different in Tottenham and i expect him to lead his team to the win. Newcastle are awful away from home - they lost 10 of their 15 away games and have conceeded 33 games on the road. Cacapa, James Milner, Shay Given, Emre, Stephen Carr have some injury problems and will be decided whether to play just before the game. After all i cant see anything else than a home win.
Bolton Wanderers v Arsenal	2	1.60	Despite not winning their last 5 games Arsenal still have the chance for the title. They have dropped dramatically in the standing after their last loss to Chelsea 1-2 and are now on the 3rd place. Wenger will have his whole team ready for this game and i expect him to get his best players up the front for this game. I thins this oponent and this game is the best chance for Arsenal to get back on the winning road. Bolton are pretty stable on their own stadium. Their home record is (5-5-6). However, they have 1 draw and 5 loses in their last 6 games. This makes me think we will see a comfortable away win here if Arsenal still has some ambitions this season.
Altrincham v Torquay Utd	2	1.80	Not much analysis can be put here. I think it will be all about class difference. Torquay are on a winning strak now (2 wins in a row) and i expect this to be the third one. They just need that 3 points - there are 4 team with 70-71-71-72 points in the table and they will need the points for their league position. Altrincham are awful now - their current form is disasterous(2 wins and 3 loses in the last 5 games). This makes me think this is the best chance for Torquay to get some free points so i think this may be a hard game but will be won by the visitors.
Real Madrid - Sevilla	over 2.5 both teams to score	1.65 1.55	A very interesting game is expected here considering the current form of the teams. Yes, there are problems in Real - the forward of the team Solgado said in an interview that there is really a crisis in the team - Shuster not talking to the team and things not going in the team at all. The teams with most scored goals during the season are meeting now (61 for Real and 57 for Sevilla) and this proposes a dramatic game where i expect a lot of goals. The first game between these teams was under 2.5 so i think this factor should be equal at the end of the season so an over will be good here.

Picks by LEDI17:

Schwanenstadt - SV Bad Aussee	1	1.36	Schwanenstadt are in the 6th place and SV Bad Aussee are in 12th. Schwanenstadt have a very good team and a very good form. They have won the last three matches. and they are rising their position in the league. This week they have in front of them a weak team and they will profit to raise their position more.
Manchester Unit - Aston Villa	HT/FT - 1/1	1.70	Manchester United are in the 1st place in league and they have a difficult game in 1st April with Roma and they want to win this match and to secure the 1st position in Premier League so they can concentrate then only in the Roma match. Aston Villa comes from a bad form after 2 draws and 2 looses.
Heerenveen - Ajax Amsterdam	over 2.5	1.40	Ajax are in the 2nd place and Heerenveen in the 3rd place. The both teams will play for a win in this match because they want to catch the first place that is hold by PSV Eindhoven. They both have great attackers. Ajax comes from a loose with Twente last week and will not allow a false move anymore.
Espanyol - Racing Santander	1	2.07	Espanyol are in the 7th place in Primera Division and Racing Santander in 5th place but Espanyol have a better team than Racing Santander. Espanyol have lost last week 4-0 with Murcia and Racing Santander have won with Recreativo Huelva. So Espanyol are shocked from their result and I think they want to make up this week.
Deportivo La Coruna - Murcia	1	1.70	Deportivo La Coruna have a good form as they are in the 15 place in Primera Division and Murcia are in 19 place. Murcia come from a win and 6 looses from their 7 last matches and Deportivo La Coruna have a much better form. Murcia will be dropped this year in Segunda Division and they have a little chance to remain.
Nacional - Uniao Leiria	1	1.45	Nacional are n the 21st place and Uniao Leiria in 24 place. They aren't good teams both but Nacional is surely a better team than Uniao Leiria. Nacional have a better attack and i thin they will score to much goals in this game and they want to escape from the bottom of their division.
