Hallo soccer fans!

Here are some picks for weekend! - Have to thanks Xazar7a, Beli, TONNY,catalinho and QUANTRET!

Before reading picks please look here and help me to choose best SoccerVista users from September.



Picks by Xazar7a:

Schwanenstadt - Fc Karnten	1	Karnten is the weakest team in this league. And they not only lay on the last place with only 2 point, but they are with the weakest defence and attack here. Their attackers scored only 3 goals, while the other team average scored 17-18 goals. Schwanenstadt lay on the 7 place and team play good, score goals, win points and have good chances this year. I cant see them miss this opportunity to win more points. Home win here.
Austria Wien (AM) - Schwadorf	1	Austria get back on track with a win over Bad Aussee and now are only 2 points after Austria Lustenau. Austria Wien is still unbeaten at home and will look for 3 success at home ground. They face unpretentious team of Schwadorf, which lays on 10-th place. Schwadorf is a team which dont play very confident away from home. I expect deserved home win here. 2 -1 or 3-1 sounds good.
Dortmund - Bochum	1	First match of the round in the Bundesliga Dortmund hosts Bochum. Both teams with 9 points before this match. Dortmund now just over the relegation zone. They started strong with 3 wins in row in which they even didnt concede a goal but after that 3 losses make them go to this place. Bochum is 2 positions over Dortmund in the table just because of better goal difference. They fly high at the start of the season, when they won 7 points from 3 matches and made some good matches. But just like Dortmund they fall down and recorded 5 matches without win. And today both teams will look for win, but Dortmunt a t hoem ground will be more confident, while Bochum will be not so sure of their opportunities. I will go for home win here.
VVV Venlo - Utrecht	2	Venlo with the worst row for the last 1 year. Of course Eredivisie is not Jupiler and Venlo will hardly adapt to this play like the other novice. They are curently in the relegation zone and with 5 losses in row. utrecth on the other side si still unbeaten away and will look to record 3 win as guest. As all they play comparativly good but lost from high-flying Vitesse in the last round. But in this match i expect less difficulties. Utrecht is the better team here an i think they will grab the points. Away win.
Manchester United - Wigan	1AH	Manchester won 6 from 7 wins with 1-0 and soem was very lucky in my opinion. Like the last one against Roma. Maybe a little tired tehy face Wigan at Saturday and with hope to score more than one goal. Wigan are in teh middle of teh table but away there is lack of confidence in the tam . Better chances for Manchester to score more goals so home win with - 1 AH here.
Duisburg - Werder	2	After 8-1 against Arminia Werder didnt manage to score more than one goal against Olympiakos and lost with 3-1. As all the team is not very confident this season and Klose misses a lot. But Werder showed that they can score goals and i think they will get the right way soon. Duisburg with 4 losses in row right not and i cant see them get something fro this game with their usual play . I go for away win.
Aston Villa - West Ham	1	Villa holds the hammers to record 4-th win at home for the season. Villa made a dramatic draw after they was leading with 4-1 against Tottenham, but the Spurs managed to equalize for 4-4. West ham recorded 2 losses in the last 2 matches, first against Newcastle with 3-1 away, and the second with 0-1 from Arsenal at home. Villa showed good display and i think they will manage to get the 3 points here.
Hearts - Falkirk	1	Hearts got the right way and managed to record some wins. They will be at home ground at saturday which will be a boost for them and they will look for second win at home. Falkirk won only one fro m4 matches away and it was against Gretna. i expect another win from Hearts against the unconfident Falkirk team.
Arsenal - Sunderland	1 AH	Arsenal excellent this season and deservely top the table right now. This young players show good and beautiful play and i expect more and more good performances. I dont expect sunderland to be back cat for the Gunners simply the difference between the classes is obvious. So home win here with - 1 AH.
Fiorentina - Juventus	both teams to score	I think the most interesting match of the weekend in Serie A. Both teams are strong. And despite i am Juve fan i dont think it will be easy and they will win here. Fiorentian have excellent players and they will oppose Juve good. So in my opinion profitable bet here will be both teams to score.
Osasuna - Villarreal	2	Villarreal high-flying this season. But every point is deserved. They lost only one match this against Real. At sunday they face unconvincing Osasuna which lay in second half of the table. They have only one win and it is at home against Levante. Against Villarreal they will have big difficulties and in my opinion they have no power to get something here. Away win.

Picks by TONNY:

Arsenal v Sunderland	1	Arsenal won last four H2H 4-0, 3-0, 3-1, 3-0 and two of these were home wins and two away wins. They should again be winners as they are very good at the Emirates and are topping the table while being still unbeaten in the league so far this season with 6-1-0 records. Sunderland gave some illusion winning on affected Reading three games ago followed by a draw but these were the only points collected from last seven as they lost the other five. They won't make the weight at Arsenal. Home win.
Blackburn v Birmingham	1	Blackburn won 3-0 at home on Birmingham in the Cup two games ago. They followed by a win away at Sunderland. Before that loss the Blues drew with Liverpool and in last game lost to another high opposition in Man United. They'll again be short against very good and ambitious Blackburn. Home win.
Liverpool v Tottenham	1	Athough unbeaten in last five Tottenham could only win on poor Anorthosis and affected Middlesbro. They drew at home to Anorthosis in mid-week and earlier drew 4-4 with Villa. Liverpool lost only one game from last ten but won only four of these. They should bounce back to winning ways when hosting Tottenham who are not in top form. Home win
Manchester City v Middlesbro	1	Manchester City 5-1-2 will look forward to consolidate their position at the third place of the Premiership table. They lost only two games to very good Blackburn and Arsenal and both were away games. They drew one game and so won seven of the last ten. Middlesbro are combative but the results do not follow. They are with a 2-2 draw against Sunderland and three defeats in which they conceded seven goals without scoring any. Home win.
Manchester United v Wigan	1	Manchester United won seven of last eight without conceding and six of these wins were by 1-0 and one by 2-0. They lost the one game last week to Championship team Coventry in the league cup. Wigan are winless in last six. Man United will look for the win even by the minimum score and I believe they are in better form and able to get it. Home win.
Blackpool v Plymouth	1	Blackpool have ambitions to do well this season and get their promotion and after records of 2-5-2 they see the need for more wins. They lost only one game at 5th place Coventry on 2nd October while Plymouth won only one from last four losing last two away games successively. I believe Blackpool in better form and playing at home can have the edge here. Home win.
Nottingham Forest v Hartlepool	1	Nottingham Forest are playing in progress and lost only one from lat five to Leicester 2-3 four games ago, winning three without conceding while scoring 9 goals and one. Meanwhile Hsrtlepool won only one in last five with two draws and two losses. Forest are in a very good form and at home can have the edge here. Home win.
Dagenham and R v Darlington	2	Darlinton are playing to expectations and are unbeaten in last three with two consecutive away wins in last two. Dagenham are winless in last three but drew last two at home. A hard fought gae can be expected but I believe the final edge will go to the visitors. Away win

Picks by Beli:

Parndorf - Bad Aussee SV	1	After good start in the begin of season Parndorf fall from form.For the moment they are in 8-th place with 3 wins 6 draws and only 2 lost games.Both lost games they made in the last 5 games they lost away from Austria Lustenau home 0-4 and in last round from Schwanenstadt home 1-4.Last win Parndorf made 5 rounds befor when they won Karten home 4-0.In other side Bad Aussee SV is second from the bottom with 8 points 2 wins 2 draws and 7 lost games.Bad Aussee SV last time they won was in game with Schwanenstadt away 2-3,after that they in in row with 5 lost games.In head 2head games Parndorf won first match with Bad Aussee SV away 2-3.I think Parndorf can win this match can back in game and made win after 4 games without win.
Den Bosch - EW Eindhoven	1 over 2.5	Den Bosch in last round fall from first place that they keep from the begin of season.In last match they lost away from Waalwijk RKC 3-2,befor that Den Bosch had 2 draws in row both home with Emmen and Fortuna S. with same result 1-1.Last time they won was away with Helmond minimaly 0-1 three round befor.Last time they won home was month befor exactly 31.08. when they won home Cambuur 4-2.In home games Den Bosch from 5 played won 3 and draw 2 still no lost game at home.In other side Eindhoven is last in the table with 7 points 1 win 4 draws and 5 lost games.Eindhoven is in row with 6 games without win last time they won was in game with Maastricht home 2-1.In away games Eindhoven from 5 played games still without win 2 draws and 3 lost.I see clear win for Den Bosch in this game and also i think that int his game will be alot of goals so Over 2.5 is good also.
Magdeburg FC - Wolfsburg Amat.	1	Magdeburg is not team of last year that can fight for the top of table, for the moment they are 13-th with 14 points 4 wins 2 draw and 5 lost games.In last 3 games Magdeburg lost all of them two away with Emden and Ahlen LR and home from Dortmund Am.Last win that Magdeburg made was home with Dusseldorf 1-0.In home games Magdeburg won 3 draw 1 and lost 1.In other side Wolfsburg Am. are in row with 4 games without win, 2 lost and 2 draw in last 4 games.Last time they won was in game with Bremen Am. 1-0.Wolfsburg Am. canot be happy with away games in 5 games they draw 1 and lost 4, they draw only with Cottbus Am. away team last in table.I think Magdeburg has more experience has beter team and can win this match.
Hertha Berlin - Cottbus	1	Hertha start new season solid wining home games and loosing away games,but then they had good row with 3 wins over Wolfsburg and Dortmund home and Duisburg away.After that in last 2 games Hertha lost both of them first they were suprised from Rostock home loosing 1-3 and in last round from Schalke away minimaly 1-0.In home games Hertha have 3 wins and 1 lost game.In other side Cottbus is the only team without win in Bundeslig.They are last in the table with 3 points 3 draws and 5 lost games.In last match they draw home with Frankfurt 2-2 even they were close to win they were 2-0 in HT.In away games Cottbus draw 1 and lost 3 games and still didnt score in away games.The only draw was with Leverkusen in first round 0-0.I think after the rain sun will came for Hertha and it will be easy win for them in this game.
Cesena - Brescia	2 under 2.5	Cesena together with Vicenza are the only team that havent win in league.in 7 rounds they are 20-th in table with 4 points 4 draws and 3 lost games.In last match they draw with Bologna home without goals 0-0.In home games they have 3 draws and 1 lost game.Draw with Bologna, Viceza, Chievo and lost from Pisa.In other side Brescia is in first place on table with 19 points in 7 games, 6 wins and 1 draw and still no loose.In last match they won Ravenna home 2-1.In away games they have 2 wins and 1 draw.Win over Grosseto and Pisa and draw with Bologna 2-2.I dont think that Cesena can suprise Brescia here i think it will be win for Brescia but not with many goals.So away win and Under 2.5 is good for this game.

Picks by QUANTRET:

Austria Memphis Wien B - Schwadorf ASK	Schwadorf +0,5 AH	Red Zac Ertsa liga has unexpected start . The main favourite was supposed recently promoted side Sshwadorf,which after the 11 rounds are floundering in the relegation zone.Young team of Austria Wien B stayed in second place after 2-1 home victory over oppresses side Bad Ausse.On the other hand,Schwadorf after trashing Kapfenberg 5-0 lost 0-3 at Lustenau.Austria B coach,Thomas Janeschitz is annoyed lately over the achievement of some players,as they understimated thier rivals.There should be taken advantage by away side,their coach is experienced Bernd Krauss, former coach of different spanish clubs and Dortmund.I'll go here for Schwadorf +0,5 AH
Austria SV Salzburg B - Gratkorn FC	Gratkorn +0,5 AH	Another B team of Bundeliga team will host Gratkorn.Noth teams have some good results and hope to continue the good run.Gratkorn should be with more motivation as Austria B and Salzburg B are not allowed to be promoted.The home side won 4 out of the last 6 matches as well the match in Gratkorn (2-1).Thier rivals lost just single match too,but the difference is that Gratkorn drew three times.I fancy here away side too and will take te same pick , Gratkorn +0,5 AH
East Fife - Albion Rovers	ALbion Rovers + 1,5 AH	The leaders of Scotish 3 division host Albion Rovers with 4 looses a row.100% result for East Fife at home ,the last victom was Stenhousemuir ,as it was trashed 7-0! Albion Rovers stay in a 8th place after the postponed match vs Forfar.East Fife look like a favourite without any question but due to some financial problems in a club i won't touch the home victory,moreever I think Albaion's squad are abale to grab something from this match.A big ammount of mutual matches played at this stadium was successful for Albion Rovers.I choose here safer pick , ALbion Rovers + 1,5 AH

Picks by catalinho07:

Moscow FK - Rostov	1	This game is a banker IMO. Moscow are 3rd in their league and they are playing some nice football now. On the other handRostov are at the bottom of the table with only 1 win from 25 games!Moscow have a really nice chance to get on the 2nd spot if they will win, which I think it will happen. Rostov have 4 draws and 6 losses in their last 10 games and their morale is very low
Wisla Krakow - Jagiellonia	1	Wisla started the new season very good and are currently on the 2nd spot with 7 wins 2 draws and no loss. Moreover they are playing very good at homehaving 4 wins in 4 games and an incredible 15-2 goal average.Pretty impressive and too strong for the new promoted Jagiellonia. But so farthey are doing good sitting on the 10th place but now when they will travel to Cracovia they will have an impossible task.
Belchatow - Polonia Bytom	1	Another game from the polish championship where we have Belchatow and the new promoted Polonia Bytom. Belchatow aren't at their bestatm but I am sure this game will change the situation.At home Belchatow have a nice record, 3-1-1 with 7 goals scoredand 2 conceided. On the other hand we can say about Polonia Bytom that they playvery bad away, a fact shown also by their weak record 0-1-5 with only 1 goal scored and 16 received! Easy win for the home team.
Hertha Berlin - Cottbus	1	Now we move to the german championship where he have Hertha who are playing very nice and Cottbus, which is a changed team after theirbest players left. I am talking about Sergiu Radu and Vlad Munteanuwho were scoring in each game for Energie. Hertha started this new seasonvery good but when they wouldn't expect, Hansa Rostock outplayed themwhen they lost 1-3 on their own stadium. Everyone was sayingthat Hertha will win easily but it wasn't like that. Hertha losttheir last 2 games but in this one they will be looking for the 3 points against the last team in Bundesliga without a win yet.
PSV Eindhoven - Willem II	1	The last season champions PSV will host Willem II on Philipps Arena.This game has a clearly favourite and this will be a 'training' match for PSV.They lost in Champions League against Inter and got a win over CSKA, so they still have chances to qualify.In their last league game they got only a 1-1 draw against NAC breda and in this game they will search the 3 points.Willem II have nothing special having 0 wins away, but after this game they will add another defeat.
Olympiakos - Kalamaria	1	In the greek league in form Olympiakos will play against Kalamaria.The greek champions come after an important win over Werder Bremen, at Wesser stadium!They have 4 points from 2 games in CHL and their good form may continue.In their domestic league they have only 5 points from 3 games but that will change after this game.6 games played between these 2 and all of them were won by Olimpiakos.
Rangers - Hibernian	1 over 2.5	I will try to be short on this game. Rangers come after an historical win over french champions, Lyon.On Stade de Gerland they won with an impressive 3-0. Hibs have a good run but now they will have an almost impossible task to take even 1 point from Rangers.
Lille - Valenciennes	under 2.5	In this game I will chosoe under 2.5 goals, the french championship being a poor goal scoring one. Valenciennes started good this season and are on the 5th spot while Lille which played in CHL last year is only on the 14th spot. At home Lille scored 2 goals and coceided 3 in 4 games, while Valenciennes away scored 4 and conceided 6. The last time those 2 met the score was 0-2 for Valenciennes on Lille's stadium. I expect a boring game with few goals.
Stuttgart - Hannover	over 2.5	Stuttgart aren't at their best atm and they lose game after game. They lost against Bremen, Barcelona, Rangers, Karslruhe and the list goes on. They play some bad football now and I think a change of coach is needed. On the other hand Hannover have a nice away record with 2 wins 1 draw and 1 loss. Hard to predict the game but looking at the recent meetings, the last 4 games went over 2.5 goals.
