Hallo soccer fans,
Weekend picks for you from SoccerVista.com
Have to thanks Xazar7a, kasekende , Xazar7a, kaloqn , TONNY, kasekende, Niksan, Kelvin and Ledi!





Xazar7a (Hristo)

Venlo - Fortuna Sittard	1		Velno is on the top of the moment and have 8 points more than the second team in the standings. The was on row with 8 wins but in the last match they lost away from home with 3-2 against Helmond. So this match will ideal for them to get back some points. Fortuna is not of the strongest teams in this league, so i don't expect they to be very motivated especially away from home. So here i can see only home win.
Hoffenheim - Arminia	1		Hoffenheim is still the good surprise in Bundesliga 1, this team continues to win mathc after match. Arminia managed to beat their main opponent for the first place at the moment Leverkusen, last week Bielefeld won with 2-1 at home. But on the other side Arminia still dont have win away from home and in this match they will be not very motivated in my opinion because Hoffenheim is not a team, which they can underestimate. I think Hoffenheim will not make any mistakes, because this is a match at home and this is another advantage for them. Home win here.
Aston Villa - Fulham	1		Villa made some good matches in last time, after the win over Arsenal with 2-0 in the last round they grabbed a point from Man united. Fulham is a team which is on a good position now and made some good results, and this team play very well at home, but away they still don't have a win. Villa is serious team and i hardly believe that they will lose at Villa park from Fulham. I bet here for the home win.
Wigan - WBA	1		Wigan looks to start to get out from the gab it was a couple of weeks ago. After the win over Pompey and then two draws and again a win over Everton in the last round, we can see a sight of improvement. While Wigan is getting better in WBA squad the situation is all the same, loss after loss and i start to think that will be one of the teams, which in the end of the season will have a ticket to Championship. Here i see home win.
Man City - Man United	X		Both teams played in the EURO tournaments in the middle of the week, but i am sure both teams have played with something in their heads about the match at Sunday. City is not on the best place in Premiership, but at home they play good and are hard opponent,despite that their 3 losses at hoem are from Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham. But in my opinion no statistics play game in this match, this is a match of honour and every time it is more and more interesting. United is good team and surely will give all to win this, but City will not give up easily. I am sure for one thing here. Both teams will score. But if i should give some exact prediction i think this match will end as a draw.

kaloqn

Liverpool vs West Ham	1		As i always say,despite of its class, Liverpool is a very unstable team. I must admit that it was quite a surprise for me they didn`t manage to defeat Fullham in their last match (0:0) and i`m sure that Rafa Benitez`s dissapointment is much bigger than mine . That is why i think he and his boys will do their best to get the three points against West Ham and thus continue the `chase` with Chelsea, if you know what i mean. Although Torres is out for a month due to a injury in the match with Olimpic Marcilia, i predict a home win.
Manchester City vs Manchester United	2		Last weekend was the `the weekend of surprises` - Liverpool,Chelsea and Manchester made draws in their matches...quite a surprise. On a second though, i find it not so surprising that Man Utd couldn`t defeat Aston Villa, having in mind Aston Villa`s good performance lately. Sir Alex Ferguson and company - with 25 points - are 8 points behind the leaders Chealsea and Liverpool and i think they must be stimulated to get the 3 points in this match, since they didn`t manage to do it against Aston Villa. For Man Utd doubtful is Berbatov and for Man City - Robinho. Away win.
Tottenham vs Everton	1		In my view, Tottenham`s lately performance is very good despite the loss against Fullham. Tottenham`s last 6 matches result in 4 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw ( marvelous match with Arsenal - 4:4!). Everton on the other hand are unstable at the moment - they lost their last match against Wigan and made 1:1 with Middlesbrough before that. I predict a comfortable home win.
Juventus vs Reggina	1		Juventus` last match with Inter Milan impeded the winning streak of the Torino team - before that they have 5 successive wins . On the other hand, Reggina`s last 5 matches result in 2 wins and 3 losses. I think the class-gap between the 3rd and the 18th in the classification will determine the outcome of the match - a home win.

TONNY

Aston Villa v Fulham	1X		Fourth placed Villa will aim to stay among the leaders while Fulham will attempt to extend their good run. Both teams have been playing in progress, Villa showing WLWLWD while Fulham show DWLWWD. Villa drew against Man U in last game and should do better against 9th placed Fulham. The latter managed a draw at Liverpool on Saturday but at Villa it might be different. Home Win/Draw
Middlesbro v Newcastle	1		Boro (DWDWDL) saw their unbeaten streak stopped when they lost to improving Bolton on Saturday. But can bounce back against Newcastle who are winless in last three after two wins. (LWWLDD). Newcastle drew at Chelsea though on a bad day for nerly all the top teams. But they are still showing weaknesses. Home win
Stoke v Hull City	1X		Stoke are unbeaten in five of last six (WWDWLW) losing the one away at Man U. Hull City are still winless despite two draws in last two (WLLLDD). They drew at Portsmouth 2-2 and might not do better at in-form Stoke. Home/Draw
Sunderland v Bolton	2		Sunderland could win only one form last six (LLLLWL) on declining and now second-bottom Balackburn. Meanwhile, Bolton have played in progress with three wins in last four (WWLW). They lostg only to very good second placed Liverpool. Bolton won last game 3-1 away at Middlesbro. Away Win.
Wigan v West Brom	1		Wigan afre playing in progress (LWDLDW) and should have the better of WBA who are on a bas run and have travelled badly (LLDLLL). WBA lost five of last six and drew one. Home.
Manchester City v Manchester United	X2		This Manchester derby will again be an open game as Man U have not been in their top form recently (DLWWDD) while Man City are showing progress (LLWLDW). City won 2-0 away at Shalke in the UEFA cup on Thursday. I believe an Away/Draw is a good choice.
Portsmouth v Blackburn	1X		Blackburn are declining and are now in second bottom seat with (3-4-7) in 14 games. They lost four of last six (LDLWLL) and their only win was in the Carling Cup on Sunderland before being beaten by the same team by a same 2-1 score in the league. Portsmouth have better results but was not so brilliant with only one win on Sunderland in last six (DLLWDD). I believe Portsmouth can manage a win here or at least a draw. Home/Draw
Tottenham v Everton	1X		Both teams have played in progress the Spurs winning five from last six and losing one away at improving and in-form Fulham.(WWWWLW). Everton lost at Wigan 1-0 in last game but were unbeaten in previous five (DWWWDL). This derby will be a hard fought one and a draw or a home win is probable. Draw/Home
Chelsea v Arsenal	1		Both teams have dropped points in recent games. Chelsea drew at home against Newcastle last Saturday after a loss in the Carling cup on penalties to lower division Burnley and a win on very poor WBA. They drew last game away at Bordeaux in the CL in mid-week. Arsenal won last game in CL on Dynamo Kiev after toe successive league defeats at home to Aston Villa (0-2) and away at Man City (3-0). Arsenal are vulnerable at high scoring Chelsea who have very good records at Stamford Bridge. Home win.
Liverpool v West Ham	1		In-form Liverpool (10-3-1) will look forward to keep their three unbeaten run when hosting poor West Ham (5-2-7). Liverpool show DWLWDW while West Ham show LLDLDW. West Ham won last game on poor and erratic Sunderland Unless a big surprise Liverpool should get the three points at Anfield Road. Home win.

Angers vs Montpellier	1		The home side is yet to lose at home. And they are unbeaten in their last seven games home and away. So to win this tie Angers are their custom at home. Go for Angers to win.
Brest vs Chateauroux	1		On form Brest to take all the three points. Brest have managed to win four out of their last five games. That form is enough to give them the mentality of winning.
Strasbourg vs Guingamp	1		Apart from being very strong to win this game Strasbourg in second spot are looking for the top spot, in order to return to the top flight. So go for a home win.
Kaiserslautern vs Aachen	1		Kaiserslautern is looking for the top place. A win here will lead them to top the league. So Kaiserslautern is very eager to go top with a victory here.
Man City vs Man U	1		I am going for Man City for very few reasons. This is a derby where by Man City managed to win it twice last season. With almost the same players for both clubs. Different coach for Man City same coach for united. You saw Man City beating Arsenal last weekend, that gave them the mentality of win this game. Go for Man City to win the Manchester derby.
Chelsea vs Arsenal	1		The Blues dominate the capital. Since the take over of Abromvic Chelsea is the king of London. To emphasize this one Chelsea is the only London side who managed to beat Hull City. After new boys of Hull winning Fulham, Arsenal, and Spurs. How big the Blues are? All in all Chelsea is very strong to win this game in order to stay top on the league. Go for home win.

Tottenham v Everton	1		Tottenham started to win again - they won their last league game, they just won their UEFA game and now they look like one of the best bets for me in EPL this week. They showed a lot of improvement in the last games and are now back to winning days. The moral in the team is high enough - the players like the new manager and everything is going well for them now - as they say - they now feel more secure about their importance for the team. Everton on the other hand is on a nice away serie but still are lacking confidence not winning their last 2 league gamer and i dont expect to get one here. Should be a comfortable home win i think - even some may try it a handicap win.
Chelsea v Arsenal	X		This is another very interesting game in the EPL where the home win is expected by all bookies. Yes, i do agree Chelsea right now are much better team than Arsenal - the hosts have a nice squad able to beat any team at any time while the visitors are again in some kind of crisis. They lost their last 2 league games not even scoring a single goal. However, there are a lot of injured player in the Chelsea's squad which makes me feel this game is going to be a tough one for the hosts. Arsenal have some injury problems too but Gallas will be back for the game and after the bad performance lately it will be nice for them to come back with some points from a top team. So i expect something like 0-0 or 1-1.
Man City v Man Utd	2		Another big derby in this round of the EPL where the outcome is unpredictable. This game can go either way but i still think the visitors are the better side and will win this one. Berbatov is likely to play again which is not sure but if it is it will be a big boost for the team. On the other hand they kind of rested in the midweek game vs Villareal that ended 0-0 (4th in a row lol) while the hosts had a hard game in Germany againt Schalke which they won 2-0. According to team news Robinho is likely to be out for the game which will reflect on the team's performance a lot i think. It will be a tough game but i think Man Utd will have that extra factor that will grant them the win here.
Sevilla v Barcelona	2		This is going to be one of the most interesting games in Primera this weekend. The hosts have a decent home record (4-1-1) and will be surely looking to improve it. However, they have some injury problems and maybe the biggest one will be the miss of Gonzalez Jesus Navas who will surely miss the game which is bad for the team for sure. Barcelona on the other hand have even a better away record (5-0-1) and the only doubtful player is Iniesta. Both teams got a draw last week and will now try to get back on the winning road again. I expect a very dramatic game which can go either way. Still i believe Barca should be able to get the 3 points here.

Aston Villa v Fulham	1		The Villa have got themselves up to 4th place in the Premiership and will be looking to improve on that in this match, they played well last week home v Manchester United but could not get the break they were looking. I do though expect them to get all 3 points here, their home record 3-3-1 indicates how difficult they are to beat. Fulham on the other hand have not won a game away from home this season their record 0-2-4 shows they lack a cutting edge away although last weeks 0-0 draw at Liverpool was very credible.
Reading v Coventry	1		The home team will be looking to bounce back after their shock first home defeat of the season last week v lowly Southampton. Reading have an impressive home record 7-1-1 and I see no reason for last weeks blip will be erased and normal service to be resumed. Coventry have a mixed bag record away from home 3-3-3 which goes to show how inconsistent they can be.
Chelsea v Arsenal	1		These two have faltered a little of late, Chelsea recently lost in Rome, drew with Bordeax and suprisingly drew once more at home with an ordinary Newcastle team. On the other hand Arsenal have lost their way and have been criticized of late especially after two defeats v Aston Villa at home and away 0-3 to Manchester City. We will have to wait and see if their 1-0 late win in the Champions League in midweek v Dynamo Kiev will bring back their confidence. I expect Chelsea to be to strong and with the unusual reasonable odds of around 4/6 for a Chelsea home match they should be taken to win.

Heerenveen - PSV Eindhoven	over 2.5		Heeerenven are currently in 9th position after have take 19 points from 12 matches that have played. They have played well in the last matches even that the results havent came for them. PSV Eindhoven are not having good form in the league after they have 5 points difference with 1st position, Az Alkmaar. In the midweek they have played against Atletico Madrid for Champions League were they should win it with all the cost or at least to take a draw there but it wasnt happen. I believe that Heerenveen and PSV Eindhoven will play an open math and will try to care more about to score and not to be more in defense. Expekt both teams to score and should be a great over 2.5.
Catania - Lecce	1		Catania are currently in 9th position while have take 21 points from 13 matches that they have played. Apart from that Catania is one of the strongest team in the league at their home after from 7 matches that have played in this season in home have won 6 from those. Lecce are currently in 16th position after have take 12 points from 13 matches that they have played. They are having a bad moments after are loosing to much points as everyone expected them to do. I believe that Catania will show the difference that those teams have and when they play at home is so difficulty to stop them and same thing should happen again in this match. Expekt Catania to take the control of the match and win this match with something like two goals difference.
Aston Villa - Fulham	1		Aston Villa are currently in 4th position while they have take 24 points from 14 matches that they have played. They are having great moments and great form in the league after are in Champions League zone and currently have left out Arsenal with just one points difference. Fulham last year was one of the worst team in the league were in the last day was safe from relegation. In this year they are so much better after they have currently 18 points from 13 matches that have played, so 9th position for them and with one match less. Even that the positive results that they are having its clearly that will be hard to take and one draw against Aston Villa that are having of the best form in the league. I believe that Aston Villa should win this match with all the cost because Arsenal is waiting for them to make a mistake and i think will not happen, at least in this match
Atletico Madrid - Racing Santander	1		Atletico Madrid havent start it well this year after have lost to much points in their first matches but in the last matches they have take some important points and have recuperate some of those points. They are in 6th position with 12 matches that have played and 18 points take from those matches but the difference that they are having with Champions League zone is 6 points. They have played in the midweek against PSV Eindhoven 2-1 and have secure the qualification and now they need to thing more about the league. Racing Santander are currently in 12th position while have take 15 points from 12 matches. I believe that Atletico Madrid will win this match with all the cost because one mistake in this match it means that will be in doubt in they will play in Champions League next year.
Ajax Amsterdam - Utrecht	1(AH)		Ajax Amsterdam are having a great form in the league and compared with team that they were in the last year it looks like they have changed everything, not just the coach. They are currently in 3rd position while have take 25 points from 12 matches that they have played and with just on point difference with 1st position. In their home they have good records after have all 6 matches that have played in home and this should be a good result and more stronger team that were. Utrecht are currently in 10th positon while have take 17 points from 12 matches that they have played. I believe that Utrecht with this form isnt good enough to break Ajax Amsterdam record in their home and they will control the match from the start and scoring at least three goals.
Genoa - Bologna	1		Genoa are currently in 8th positon while they have take 21 points from 13 matches that they have played. At their home they are the strongest team in the league after have won all 6 matches that have played in home. Bologna have not prove and show that deserve to play and for another year in Serie A after the result that they have done in this season it doesnt looks good. They are currently in 19th position while they have take just 9 points from 13 matches that they have played and right now they are in relegation zone and should be hard for them to be out from that zone. I believe that Genoa with that record at home will do the job and beat Bologna as it should be a oportunity for them to rise the positon that they are currently.
Udinese - Chievo	1		Udinese are currently 7th position while they have take 21 points from 13 matches that they have played. After that great start that they have done now they are loosing to much important points for them. Chievo are currently in the last position in the league, 20th position while they have take just 6 points from those 13 matches that have played. At away matches they have take just a draw and that prove that the quality that this team have can't be compared with team like Udinese. I believe that Udinese will show some good power in this match and will manage a positive result at their home.
