Barca – Real betting tips

In Betting picks on January 23, 2012 at 9:58 pm

Two things occupied and divide supporters after the first leg of quarter final Spain Coppa del Rey between Real and Barca.

 

At first place it is another great performance of Guardiola’s team. After Ronaldo’s opener there was only one team on the pitch. I can’t remember if Real made another shot on target for more then 70 minutes. On the other hand Barca was superior especially after they took the lead and keep ball in possession. Murinho’s tactics was obviously based on physical strength and hard duels, but it was weak weapon if you even can’t make contact with rivals. Take a look on match highlights.

 

The second reason why I believe in another Barca’s triumph is Pepe’s incident and bad manners in duel with Messi, when he stepped on Messi’s hand while he was on the grass. You can see what happen here. Anyway, motivation of Barca’s players will be on the highest possible level.

 

I believe in more then two goals on the match because visitors are one goal behind after first leg (1-2), but in the same time I am sure that Barca will use opportunity to prove once again that they are better team these days. I won’t be surprise if they humiliate “blancos” with high margin.

 

Here are my tips:

 

Barca to win at 1.61 @ bet365

 

Over 2,5 goals at 1.57 @ bet365

 

Lionel Messi to score anytime 1.61 o-O but it is banker:) @ bet365

City – Spurs Over 2,5

In Betting picks on January 20, 2012 at 9:08 am

If  Spurs want to continue their champions dream they have to make up bad result against Wolves at home, when they missed opportunity to close the gap at the top of the table. Now they are five points behind and only three points will satisfy supporters’ appetites. In the same time the great expectations hyped huge pressure on Reknapp’s team and they failed to prove good form on the pitch. Match against Citizens will be real test, for Spurs mentally strength and after that on real squad quality for high ambitions.

On the other hand, City is in the better position thanks to three points advantage above second placed United. Mancini’s team won’t sit back and wait, but in the same time have enough experience to use every opportunity. They won all 10 matches at Etihad stadium this season, scoring 31 and conceding only four. 

 

In situation like this I expect exciting match with plenty opportunities on both side. It is the most likely that City will take all three points, but in the same time I expect that Spurs will have inspired parts of the match, as well.

 

I ‘ll grab total goals Over 2,5 at 1.75 at Bet365.

City to beat Wigan with high margin

In Betting picks on January 15, 2012 at 10:43 pm

After other matches of this round, today rivals are on the opposite parts of the table. Hosts looking for opportunity to escape from the bottom, while City want to keep whole three points above United, as it was before this round.

City fans

It is hard to believe that Wigan could make some surprise here, but bear in mind that City have lost three from last four matches in all competitions. On the other hand, they already beat today’s opponents in the first part of the season as hosts 3:0.

Interesting fact is that Wigan have collected more points on a road, with only one victory at home. The reason I believe in Citizens is that they won five from six last matches against Wigan.

Yaya and Kolo Toure will be out of squad since they will appear at the African Cup of nations, but in the same time David Silva will be back after ankle injury.

Wigan don’t have enough quality to collect points from rivals like City. They should try to concentrate on matches against their main rivals in relegation battle.

I believe that City will defeat domestic side with more then one goal margin. After odds investigation I can say that -1.25 on City to win is the real banker.

Don’t waste your time, just pick City to win with -1, -1.5 margin at Bet 365 at 2.05
