Hallo soccer fans!

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


Picks by Xazar7a:

Azerbaijan - Portugal	2 AH	The outsider here host to 3-rd positioned Portugal. They travel there with Luiz Felipe Scolari sitting out in the cooler in the first of 3 match ban for losing his rag at Alvelade last round. Portugal with a game in hand at the moment and only double tap of away wins will keep their campaign afloat. Centre-back Sasha Yunusogli and midfielder Ilgar Gurbanov have been called up to serve Azerbaijan squad against Portugal alongside striker Farrukh Ismaylov. A conspicuous absence is that of Murad Agakishiyev, but no explanation was given by the Coach, who nevertheless underlined continuity in his squad. The list released by Scolari included six changes. Scolari recalled Ricardo Carvalho and Sporting's Tonel to reinforce the rickety rearguard seen as responsible for ceding draws to Poland and Serbia. He also dropped Tiago and Petit - injured - and brought in Duda and Miguel Veloso to bolster up the holding midfield. More attacking and organisational bite was given with Raul Mereiles and Stuttgart stopper Fernando Meira is also back. I think here the match is clear nothing but win for Portugal is expected. Good team good players and i think the hosting-outsider have no chance. So my pick is away win with -1.5 AH.
Armenia - Serbia	X	Robert Arzumanyan, Karen Dokhoyan and Artur Voskanyan are back in the squad despite a lack of action at club-level recently. Another key return is made by Gevorg Kasparov between the sticks. Armenia may only be in sixth place and conserving just minimal chances of making it through to Switzerland and Austria next year, but having picked up seven points from their last three matches leaves the Armenians with their hopes intact and key clashes against two direct opponents: Serbia and Belgium. The big news for the White Eagles is that Serbian defender Nemanja Vidic will miss both matches against Armenia and Azerbaijan as a concussion is sidelining the Man U man, hurt in EPL 4-0 win over Wigan on Saturday after a collision with Marcus Bent. Coach Javier Clemente has filled the gap by calling up defender Milan Bisevac. There were two other absences at the back as Dragutinovic is out serving time for his pogo dance with Scolari. Krstajic is also out with a knee injury making Serbia's task even more complex with a need to beat both Armenia and Azerbaijan. Very interesting match will be this because Armenia is 2 matches in hand after Serbia. It will be not so easy match for the Serbian side and i think here the draw is the most possible result.
Poland - Kazakhstan	1 AH	Twenty-two year-old Centre-forward Tomasz Zahorski is capable of dropping back into midfield with ease and Grzegorz Bartczak is also capable of switching roles during the course of a match. Golos is also back in the fold having been last capped in April 2005. Kosowski is another name back after a stint out of the national limelight, returning after last being seen against Ecuador at the 2006 Germany World Cup. On the downside Rasiak, Golanski and Blaszczykowski are all out of Beenhakker's 24-man squad. The news on visitors Kazakhstan is hard to come by, only their Euro 2008 squad list realised since the last matchday. One thing is certain: Kazakhstan arrive with nothing to lose and everything to prove as they may not make it to next year's finals but they'll be eager to be remembered as going down fighting. Another clear match in my opinion. Holders will take their's the question is how much. i will go for home win here with -1.5 AH.
Belgium - Finland	X	Wesley Sonck is recalled to Belgium for the first time in over a year. Rene Vandereycken is hoping that the experience and grace under pressure that Song brings in will benefit the team. The Coach has also made a swoop and called up two Gent players for their first caps: centre-back Guillaume Gillet and midfielder Christophe Gregoire . An important piece of blocking equipment has also seen a double-tap return by Anderlecht backs De Man and Van Damme, as well as Logan Bailly. Bad news is that Vandereycken will have to do without dry-docked Mpenza, Martens, Renard and Vermaelen. Coach Roy Hodgson has caused a few raised eyebrows by bringing keeper Antti Niemi a back for the match with Belgium. Regular stickman Jussi Jaaskelainen is one yellow card away from suspension and Hodgson wanted a dependable veteran in case of the need for a stand-in arose and Niemi was the obvious choice. The tactician must, however, do without the services of strikers Jari Litmanen and Mikael Forssell in Belgium. With just a two-point lead over Portugal (who also have a game in hand) there's little room for gifts at the back if the Euro 2008 Finals are to be reached. The match is very important for the Finland side and they have to win here, but very hard in my opinion. Belgium side is not for underestimating and i think here draw will be good bet.
Faroe - France	2 AH	Les Bleus travel to the Faroes Islands on Saturday before hosting Lithuania on Wednesday. Despite currently sitting in third place, Raymond Domenech's men know that their destiny is still in their own hands. If France win all three of their remaining group games they will qualify, as at least one of Scotland or Italy will then knock each other out during their clash in November. Here with easy France will get the points so away win - 2 AH.
Greece - Bosnia Herzegovina	1	Bolton's Stelios Giannakopolous is finally back in action after a lengthy lay-off, while Angelos Chariteas will battle it out with the likes of Georgios Samaras and Theo Gekas for a striking berth. The Plavo Zuti, meanwhile, still have major problems. Some players are still undertaking a boycott of the national team; others, like Adnan Custovic, Senidad Ibricic and Ante Aracic, have pulled out of the squad due to injury concerns. These three late withdrawls have compounded coach Fuad Muzrovic's woes, the ex-FK Sarajevo player also having to contend with the boycott absences. Little wonder that BiH have lost their last two matches, slipping at home to Moldova after going down 1-0 at Malta. Times are hard for this squad and one wonders if they'll come to Greece with the intention of keeping the score down. Greece here on th home ground and it hink their strong team will manage to win.
Hungary vs Malta	2 AH	With just nine points, Hungary are out of the qualification race after what has been a largely disappointing campaign. A side that once sent fear throughout Europe is now looked upon as easy point fodder - a sad state of affairs, bot be sure. Nonetheless, coach Peter Varhidi is eager for three points here - not only will it bring pride and morale, but also protect Hungary's declining standings in the European rankings.The Hungarians are the anti-draw specialists of the group, having picked up three wins and lost their remaining six matches. They tend to pick up the points at home against the less-fancied teams, and Malta certainly fit that bill. But Maltese football's stock is rising. Of course, they actually beat Hungary on their own patch earlier in qualifying but, since then, shocked Turkey with a 2-2 draw and kept Bosnia sweating with a tenacious display, albeit one that ended in a 1-0 loss. Michael Mifsud, the star striker, didn't manage to net in that match, but is on a high at the moment following an early-season of heroics with Coventry City, scoring against the likes of Manchester United with the English club. Away matches are generally tougher for the Knights of St. John, and qualification is totally out of the question, but progressing as a footballing nation most certainly is not. They've done good work up until now and, with Hungary in dire straits, perhaps they can pull off a shock here. So I think you can try away win with +2 AH.
Republic of Ireland - Germany	2	Manchester City midfielder Stephen Ireland has withdrawn from the Republic of Ireland squad to play Germany and Cyprus in Euro 2008 qualifiers. With or without Ireland, his country's chances of reaching the Euro 2008 finals are very slim. Steve Staunton is also without Paul McShane and Stephen Hunt, who are suspended for the first match, as well as Stephen Carr and Andy O'Brien, who are injured. Andy Reid is doubtful with a swollen ankle. At least the Germany, who need just a point to qualify, will be without Miroslav Klose and long-term injury victim Michael Ballack. Tim Borowski will also play no part in either of his country's Group D matches against the Republic of Ireland or the Czech Republic because of back problems. The 27 year old only returned to the Werder Bremen lineup for last week's Uefa Champions League defeat by Olympiakos after knee ligament damage. Germany need a point, but i thin kthey will get more. Problems in Ireland side and it hink Germans will use that. So away win here.
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.
England - Estonia	1 AH	As already mentioned it seems that John Terry will not play on Saturday, so Sol Campbell is set to step in and start his first England international in almost two years. In midfield Manchester United duo Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves are injured, as our strikers Heskey, Ashton and Johnson. Estonia are without Roda JC striker Andres Oper and their forward line has also been weakened by an injury to Vladimir Voskoboinikov and the retirement of Indrek Zelinski. Goalkeeper Mart Poom, well known to English supporters, is back in the squad. England have and will win here. This victory will set up England ahead of the trip to Moscow. Home win with -1 AH.

Picks by TONNY:

Hartlepool v Bristol Rovers	1	Hartlepool in good form won 5-2 at Lincoln in the Cup in mid-week and should add a second win in a row when hosting rather poor Bristol Rovers this Friday. Hartlepool show 2W-2D-2L in last six game. The losses were 1-0 to improving Walsall and 2-1 away at in-form Nottingham Forest. They drew against two other in-form teams Swindon and Carlisle and won on leaders Leyton Orient 4-2 and Lincoln in Cup. Bristol Rovers met moderate opposition 3D and 3L in last six. I believe Hartlepool can pick the win at home this Friday. Home Win.
Tranmere v Walsall	X	Tranmere have leapfrogged Leyton Orient into first seat but with same number of 19 points and will go three points clear if they win at home on in-form Walsall on Friday. They are unbeaten in nine of last ten games losing the one to cup giant killer Morecambe seven games ago. Walsall atre coming to the game on the back of three successive wins on Hartlepool, Doncaster and Hudders, all mid-table teams and will look forward to have the leaders' scalp also. But Tranmere are good at home. They drew last two home while Walsall won last three away. I would take the draw here or the home side with favorable Asian Handicap. - Draw.
Gillingham v Millwall	1	Fourth-bottom Gillingham are in an improving form and are unbeaten in four of last six games losing one game away at improving Nottingham Forest and one again away on Saturday at in-form Swindon by 5-0. That score is heavy but Swindon are in an excellent form. Otherwise at home Gillingham drew with up to that time 100% successful Leeds, won on Brighton 1-0 , ex-leaders Leyton Orient (3-1) and Luton Town 4-3 in cup on Tuesday. They should be able to overcome poor last placed Millwall who are winless in eight of last nine, winning one on poor Northampton, drawing one with 18th placed Crewe and losing the remaining seven of which a 4-0 defeat at Carlisle last Saturday. Home Win
Port Vale v Brighton	2	Port Vale will again have difficulties to get a good result on Saturday when hosting in-form Brighton. After losing away at Northampton on Saturday, Port Vale lost 6-4 in cup at league two team Morecambe. Their only unbeaten game from last six was a win on fourth bottom Cheltenham three games ago. Meanwhile Brighton won two and drew two of last four, winning away at Bournemouth and finishing goalless at good-at-home and in-form Swansea. Away win
Southend v Crewe	1	Southend are playing in progress and won four of last seven. They drew one and lost two games, one to Championship team Blackpool and last one by 2-1 at leaders Tranmere. They should be winners at home when hosting who are Crewe winless in last five with two draws and three losses. Crewe drew against Tranmere two games ago. Home win.
Yeovil v Carlisle	2	Despite fielding a depleted team Yeovil managed a 4-2 win in the St Johnstone Paints Trophy game against Hereford while third placed Carlisle won 4-2 on high-flying Chester. It won't be the same for Yeovil when facing Carlisle this Saturday as the latter are in excellent form with DWDWW in last five and high scorers outscoring their opponents 14- 6 in these five games winning the three by 3-1, 4-0 and 4-2. Away win here.
Leeds v Leyton Orient	1	Leeds dropped two points in the 1-1 draw against Gillingham four games ago, but are still unbeaten in their ten games winning the other nine. They are now in 12th place at three points for the fifth and can move higher up if they win on out-of-form ex leaders Leyton Orient this Saturday. Leyton lost their four of their last five of which the last three in a row and it's really at a wrong time for them to seek redress while playing away at excellent Leeds. Leyton lost 3-1 to Gillingham, 5-0 to Swansea and 1-0 to Dagenham in Cup on Tuesday. Home win.
Bournemouth v Swansea	2	Bournemouth won their last two but on rather low opposition Crewe and Bristol Rovers. Swansea are in excellent form losing only one game to Leeds from their last eight. They dre one with Brighton and won the other six of which the last three in a row. They've scored at least two in each of these six wins including a 5-0 thrashing of ex-leaders Leyton Orient on Saturday. In last three games Swansea conceded only one goal for 9 scored. Away win.
Morecambe v Bradford City	1X	Morecambe are doing well in the league and also on Tuesday they continued their giant killer habit when they ousted again another higher division team in the St Johnstone Cup. They got the scalp of league one team Port Vale. In the league they are unbeaten in last two games with a 2-0 home win on Stockport and a 1-1 draw away at Lincoln. On Friday, they should be able to overcome poor ou-of-form Bradford City who lost their last four games successively. The latter met quite high opposition though, in the two top teams Hereford and Milton and the two in-form teams Accrington and Wycombe. Nevertheless I see Morecambe able to win or draw here. Home/Draw.
Notts County v Bury	X2	After a poor start, Bury are now playing in progress and are unbeaten in their last last five since they put an end to their four losses streak. They show records of DWDWW, the last two wins being on Rochdale successively in the league and in the Cup on Tuesday. Notts County are again on a bad run of two losses in a row and hardly can they be expected to get a good result against improved Bury. Away /Draw
Milton v Lincoln	1	Milton have lifted themselves to the top seat in league two and are two points ahead of Hereford. They are on an excellent run of eight wins in a row and in league show records of 7-1-2. They should be able to extend their excellent run when hosting very poor Lincoln who are winless in last eight with six defeats and two draws against Morecambe and Bury. Home Win. Banker bet.
Dagenham v Accrington	1	Dagenham lost only one from last five ( DWWLW) and that was last Saturday to an excellent Darlington as expected. But in mid-week, they managed a 1-0 away win at ex-league one leaders in the cup, confirming their current good form. Accrington won two games form their last five on out-of form teams Bradford and Mansfield. They were defeated twice in last two away league games and by Wrexham in Cup. They won't make the weight against in-form Dagenham. Home win.
Darlington v Stockport	2	Darlington are in excellent form despite the 0-1 loss to league one high-flying Leeds in the cup in mid week. They won as expected away on good Dagenham last Saturday by an impressive 3-0 score. They should be able to overcome depleted and poor Stockport who nevertheless managed a 1-0 win on Macclesfield in the Cup after two league defeats. Home win.

Liechtenstein - Sweden	2 AH	Sweden is first in the group and want to keep place that will qualify them in Euro2008.In this game sweden canot make mistake.They play in Liechtenstein team that have nothing to play for and in group with worst team in Europe.I dont think that sweden will have problems to score.In 8 games they score 17 goals.SO hendicap -1 for sweden have nice odds.

Picks by catalinho07:

Armenia vs. Serbia	1 AH	This will be a tough game for sure. The Serbians are currently the 4th in their group, an A group led by Poland. Armenia is definitely an unpredictable results like the win over Kazakhstan, win over Poland, draw with Portugal at home and some results in friendllies which don't matter so much. The Serbians lost against Kazakhstan which was a really big surprise for everyone, got a 1-1 draw against Portugal, won against Finland 2-0, lost against Belgium, drew with Finland 0-0 and in the end got a 1-1 draw in Portugal. The favourite team in this game is of course Serbia but will they have such an easy game as the bookies expect? I think that Armenia will continue their good result and will get at least one point in Satruday's game. Pick : Armenia (+1.5 AH) (Armenia mustn't loose by at least 2 goals)
Faroe Islands vs. France	1 AH	No doubt that in this game France will win, but the question is by how many goals? Faroe Island, as they are a poor national team, got some 'nice' results, of course defeats but at limit. They played against Lithuania where they lost 1-0, against Ukraine 2-0, Italy 2-1 and Scotland 2-0. France have some good players but I still don't see them to play good together. They won against Lithuania 1-0, against Ukraine 2-0, against Georgia 1-0 and then got a 0-0 against their enemies Italy and now they are going through a bad phase loosing the last game at home against a motivated Scotland team, 0-1. Faroe Islands and France met 3 times and each time France won, 2-0, 3-0 and 5-0. I expect Faroe Islands to fight until the end and the climate conditions will be hard for the French guys. Pick : Faroe Islands (+2.75 AH) (Faroe not to loose by at least 3 goals)
Iceland vs. Latvia	1 AH	Iceland got a surprising 1-1 draw against Spain where they opened the score but in the end Iniesta saved his players. It's true that Spain had 1 man sent off but I still think that Iceland are a tough opponent for any team. In their last game for EURO 2008 they won against Northern Ireland 2-1, draw against Spain 1-1, draw with Liechtenstein 1-1 and lost 2-0 against Denmark. Latvia have only 1 win in 8 games, the last game being wonin 8 september against Northern Ireland. I see nothing special at this letonians but they won the first game against Iceland 4-0! I am sure that the Icelanders want to revenge and they have a good chance. Pick : Iceland (+0.5) (Iceland must win or draw)
Ireland Republic vs. Germany	2	When I saw the odds for Germany win I didn't hesitate and took them. 2.00 for a team like Germany to win against Ireland? The germans are still undefeated in their group having won 7 of their 8 game played. I saw them how are they playing, especially in the game with Wales. Klose is in top form and he plays some nice football with Schalke's striker Kuranyi. They will miss Ballack, but I am sure that there are more in form players than him. Their defence is working perfect and I can't see Ireland scoring at least 1. 2 meetings between those 2, one won by Germany 1-0 and a 1-1 draw. Pick : Germany to win
Greece vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina	1	The EURO 2004 champions will host Bosnia. I must say that 1.33 for Greece is a gift as I wouldn't give more than 1.20. I saw Bosnia against Hungary when they lost 1-0 and they are really a pathetic team. Greece have a good morale, draw with Norway, win against Moldova, win over Hungary and a loss against Turkey which I am sure they forgot about. Also, Bosnia made a huge surprise winning against Norway on 24 March 2007 where they won 2-1. But enough with the surprises: they won against Malta with a poor 1-0 and then the started to lose games on row. Nothing much to say about this just that I will take Greece to win. Pick : Greece to win
Denmark vs. Spain	2	I think this game will be a very important one for Spain and they want to improve their away performance because untill now they were unconvincing with a 2-1-2 record. 1-1 against Iceland when they were heavy criticized by their press. They already won against Denmark in Spain with 2-1. Spain have no important missings and they will try to 'wash' some of the poor performances. Denmark come after a 4-0 win against Liechetenstein, a win more for their morale which is good now. The lost that Scandinavian Derby against Sweden when a man got in the field and tried to hit the referee, a happen that everyone remembers. I think Spain will have a good chance to prove that they are a team fighting to win this trophy. Pick : Spain to win
As about the other games, I see two clear wins, Poland against Kazakhstan and Portugal against Azerbaidjan, away. Also Scotland not to loose at home against Ukraine looks nice, maybe even home win for 2.15. Poland @ 1.13, Portugal @ 1.17 and Scotland @ 2.15

Picks by sHaDoW_FuRy:

Montrose-Elgin City	1 over 2.5	the reason for picking over 2.5 goals in this game is scottish football is very dynamic and attractive.Much goals scored in most of the games here the football in this country is very interesting to watch...And the reason for picking home win is because Montrose are the much better team here and i am really suprised of the odds for the home win..So you can even combine the home win with the over 2.5 without much worries.Home Win and over 2.5 goals.
Tranmere-Walsall	1	no chances for away win here i think...Tranmere with one idea but better than the other teams in league 1.Only Leeds are better than them and i think the home factor will give more chance for Tranmere to win this game and i think they should overpower their guests.Home Win.
Zwolle-Ado Den Haag	1	i am being really surprised of the place which Zwolle takes at the table of second division.Very strong team with very tallented forwards and there wount be any problems for them to take the win at their own stadium.Home Win
Ljungskile-Falkenberg	1	The wonderful serie of games of Ljungskile is going to continue with a home win here versus the weak team of Falkenberg...Till here 8 straight home wins for them and nothing is going to stop them to take their 9th...Home win.
Slovenia-Albania	under 2.5	None of those teams has a chance to continue in the euro 2008 because the battle in their group is being leaded by Holland,Romania and Bulgaria...Albania showed wonderful defence against Bulgaria and Holland and they deserved to take more from the dutchs...They close the game perfectly and i give no chance for over 2.5 goals.So my pick here is under 2.5 goals.
Romania-Netherlands	under 2.5	Whoever watched the first match between those 2 teams is sure that there wount be many goals here too...The great times for Netherlands are over from years.They have wonderful players but not a good team...They had a luck versus Bulgaria,Albania and Slovenia,so i think both teams should be respected from one another.Under 2.5 goals.
Doncaster-Huddersfield	1	-the home factor here is the key of this game.Huddersfield not that bad team but when the arent playing at home their defence is much weaker and i think of a clear home win.Home win.
Ascoli-Chievo	under 2.5	Ascoli has got a great defence and they play brilliantly at home.But Chievo want to get back to Serie A so i think at this away game they will try to close the game and get a draw or maybe a 0-1 win.Under 2.5 goals.
Luton-Northhampton	1	very good odds for Luton.I am really surprised here so i think that is a gift from the bookeys...They dont deserve their place in the lower part of the division.Home win.

Picks by azwhoopinMK:

Croatia - Israel	1	Croatia are one of the favourites for the first two places which lead to the Euro 2008! They have been playing very well during these whole qualifications, and I expect them to win this one in order to advance further on. First game between these two ended with 3-4 away win for Croatia, which was a highly contested game. For this game, Petric and Balaban are injured and doubtful for this game. Niko Kovac is surely out. However there is Jerko Leko who can easily replace him. Also Kalinic from Hajduk is a decent player, and he has bene called up to replace Petric or Balaban. Israel are travelling with quite a new squad here. Yuval Shpungin, Klemij Saban, Michael Zandberg, Yaniv Katan and Walid Badir have not been called up for this game, while Idan Tal, Itzik Azuz and Barak Yitzhaki are the latest injuries. This means most of their forwards are out. Lots of new players will play for Israel, and the team will not be gelled, so I'm expecting a Croatia victory here, you can also take a handicap on them. Croatia Pletikosa - Ćorluka, Šimić, R. Kovač, Šimunić - J. Leko - Srna, Modrić, Kranjčar - Eduardo, Olić. Israel Davidovich, Gerhson, Ben Haim, Antebi, Meshumar, Alberman, Cohen, Izhaki, Benayoun, Balili, Golan.
Armenia - Serbia	2	Yes I know its hard to win in Armenia lately, they are a very ambitious squad at home lately, we can for example see the game against Poland. But this is against Serbia, a team that is quite good in defence, although not lately, but still good. Serbia will miss Krstajic, Vidic, Jovanovic and the suspended Dragutinovic. After managing two draws, against Finland 0-0 at home, and 1-1 away at Portugal, I expect Javier Clemente to land up a nice strong squad here, and go for winning this game, after all Serbia have an easy schedule til the of the quals, and I really expect them to win this one, then Kazakhstan away too. So, taking Serbia away win here. GL!
Romania - Netherlands	1	Romania are hosting Netherlands here, for one of the top spots of their group. Danut Coman, Cosmin Contra, Mirel Radoi, Razvan Cocis, Laurentiu Rosu and Ianis Zicu are out for Romania, and their coach has called up new players. Netherlands also has troubles, Melchiot, Van Persie and Sneijder are suspended for this game, but Arjen Robben and Huntelaar have been called up to replace these absences. This can be called game of the year for Romania, and this why I think they will do anything to win this game, and if they win it, they are qualified for the Euro, almost. The game will be played in Constanta, and the atmosphere will be heated up, so I believe taking Romania to win here, can be quite tempting with nice odds. GL!
Slovenia - Albania	1	Slovenia and Albania will be playing for prestige only here, both teams are quite effectively out of the race for the top two spots in this group. I'm expecting Slovenia to win here, they are playing OK lately, but however got two unlucky defeats to Romania in last two games. Lorik Cana and Edmond Kapllani, and Dallku are out of this game for Albania, with the first two being very important in this squad. This will provide Otto Baric, the Albania chance the opportunity to try some new players. Anyway, with attackers such as Ljubijankic and Dejan Rusic, I think that Slovenia will take the win here, maybe not storngly, but I expect a 1-0 or 2-0 win here. GL!

That's all )

Nice weekend
