Bolton vs Derby @2.05 Derby were one of the best teams in the Championship for large parts of last season, just tailing off at the end and narrowly missing out on a playoff place by 1 point. They’ve had a good summer, bought in exciting faces like Tom Ince, Darren Bent and Andreas Weimann, […]

27th September Picks
Ipswich @2.00 vs Rotherham Ipswich are on a good run of three wins on the bounce in the Championship, and will be looking to another home win here to push them further into the promotion places. Rotherham, on the other hand, have been struggling of late and look slightly beleaguered as they search for their […]
24th September midweek picks
Malaga vs Barcelona : Barcelona -1 @1.85 Barca are yet to concede a goal after winning their opening 4 games, and come into this match off the back of a 5-0 win away from home. Malaga on the other hand have struggled somewhat, and will not see this as a good time to be playing […]
13th September Picks
Peterborough @1.7 vs Notts County Table toppers Peterborough have been fantastic this season, their only loss coming to a decent Sheffield United side in a narrow 2-1. They score plenty of goals and a re typically very good against teams below them. Notts County haven’t been terrible this season by any means, but are yet […]
31st August Serie A
Cesena vs Parma @2.35 Parma had a decent time of things last season, and will be pushing for a European place or at the very least a solid top-half finish. Francesco Lodi will be looking to make his first start for the away side after his summer move from Catania. He showed real threat in […]
30th August Picks
Werder Bremen vs Hoffenheim @2.15 This one isn’t straight forward, and is based predominantly on the performance of Hoffenheim last week and the strength of their attacking line compared to Bremen. Werder came back into their game against Hertha to draw 2-2, but they weren’t convincing and another slow start this weekend could again be […]
23rd August Picks
Bit late posting this, but here are my picks for this Saturday. Difficult weekend, lots of top teams playing each other throughout England, but there are a few good ones from what I can see. Swindon @1.80 vs Crewe Swindon have had a reasonable start to the season, but Crewe have been very poor […]
16th August Picks
Blackpool vs Blackburn (@1.80) Blackpool’s troubles off the field have been well documented, with their depleted squad and lack of preparation time. Although they are not totally written off, it will be tough for them to compete against a decent looking Blackburn side who will be eager to bounce back after their poor midweek display […]
