Preview:
A few things stand out for us here. The strength of the squad Dunga is bringing with him for this meeting on neutral soil, the form of the Wolfsburg striker Grafite who will replace Fabiano for Brazil and the lack of Dunne, O'Shea and Keane from the Ireland line up. We all know there is a clear difference in ability here and with Ireland missing 3 key players we can't see them causing a upset but we do expect them to be well drilled and a little concerned they might grab a draw. Realistically we will see Ireland playing catch up and chasing a consolation goal with Brazil starting where they left off with another win. For this match we will be laying Ireland with £20 and trading out when Brazil take the lead, pull level or grab one back. If Ireland score 1st we will look to lay them again but won't do this unless we are confident Brazil will pull it back. We will also be having a small side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety. As usual if your concerned inplay about Ireland are looking dominant look to lay Brazil in the next goal market. If its goalless 60 min's in we will close the trade, if Ireland are leading and Brazil don't look good for pulling it back we will close the trade with around 10 min's to go splitting the loss.

Both teams have qualified for the 2010 World Cup but did so in very different ways. The Germans were first in their group and qualified before the final match day while Argentina struggled to finish 4th in their group. Germany had a 8-2-0 record in qualifying with a very positive goal difference but they have been suffering from internal issues of late so we aren't quite sure how this effect them. Argentina struggle to qualify and numerous rumors that Maradona would be given the boot. Eventually they ended up qualifying 4th in their region. Its hard to separate these two on paper with so many class players so we are just going to stick to our standard trading plan for this match as it could go either way although we do feel both sides will score. For this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a small side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety. Out at 1.8 on the draw as usual if its goalless with loss on the draw, if a goal comes after this point and your concerned its going to finish in a draw, look to lay the leading team for safety. We will grab some cover on the 0-0, £7 initially backing further if concerned in play around HT, or just after.

Preview:
Both teams have been in good form this season with Frankfurt showing a more obvious improvement in recently weeks despite losing on their last outing to Stuttgart. They should bounce back and we feel potentially avoid defeat here although their record against Schalke doesn't inspire confidence with only 1 win form their last 10 meetings. They have a decent scoring record at home so we do expect them to register here but they have also been leaking goals and with their injury list they look weak at the back so Schalke scoring looks a formality. Schalke have only lost 1 of their last 10 and have one of the best defenses in the Bundesliga so Frankfurt will have a tough time here. Both sides scoring looks likely with the match finishing over 2.5 goals. Schalke on the scoresheet before the break also looks on the cards. For this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a small side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety. Out at 1.8 on the draw as usual if its goalless with loss on the draw, if a goal comes after this point and your concerned its going to finish in a draw, look to lay the leading team for safety. We will grab some cover on the 0-0, £7 initially backing further if concerned in play around HT, or just after.

Preview:
Werder Bremen have made steady improvements over their poor December / January form and look a decent prospect for grabbing a European place if their form continues. Stuttgart are another side who look to have recovered from a poor spell. Since Gross replaced Babbel in December they have pulled themselves back up to 8th from 15th and definitely look good for a top 6 finish. The main reason we like this match is Bremen's 1st half scoring record (9 of their last 10 against similar ranked sides) and the fact both sides scoring is strongly supported so it supports our standard trading plan. For this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a small side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety. Out at 1.8 on the draw as usual if its goalless with loss on the draw, if a goal comes after this point and your concerned its going to finish in a draw, look to lay the leading team for safety. We will grab some cover on the 0-0, £5 initially backing further if concerned in play around HT, or just after.

Preview:
This is a tricky match to call as there are conflicting trends. Fiorentina have been erratic on the road but have looked pretty solid at home despite a few unlucky results. Juventus looked to have found some form and steadied the ship under Zaccheroni but they we appalling at the weekend against Palermo which saw their fans set fire to the stadium yet again. Fiorentina's record against Juve has seen them win just one of their last 16 meetings but when both sides are carrying similar form it has finished all square in 80% of meetings which is what we expect to see here. The main reason we like this match is we feel both sides will score and with Juve's record of getting on the scoresheet before the break against similar ranked sides it should fit into our standard trading plan so for this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a small side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety. Out at 1.8 on the draw as usual if its goalless with loss on the draw, if a goal comes after this point and your concerned its going to finish in a draw, look to lay the leading team for safety. We will grab some cover on the 0-0, £7 initially backing further if concerned in play around HT, or just after.

Preview:
Roma are unbeaten in 16 domestic games and have avoided defeat in their last 4 meetings with Milan on home soil. They met back in October in a heated affair where Milan ended Roma's 7 match unbeaten run, so we expect the hosts to be out for some revenge this time out. The standout trend when Roma meet big 4 sides is a match which has at least 3 goals (all of the last 7). We are a little concerned by Roma's 2nd half scoring record in that they tend to score more after HT but considering all the variables this looks like a match that will see the deadlock broken early. So for this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a small side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety. Out at 1.8 on the draw as usual if its goalless with loss on the draw, if a goal comes after this point and your concerned its going to finish in a draw, look to lay the leading team for safety. We will grab some cover on the 0-0, £7 initially backing further if concerned in play around HT, or just after.

Preview:
With Inter's lead having shortened from 11 points to just 4 this is a must win game for Inter with Milan and Roma hot on their heels. They take on a Genoa side who have been impressive at home but appalling on their travels picking up just 2 points in their last 8. Genoa haven't beaten Inter at home in over 20 H2H encounters and Inter are undefeated in over 30 games on home soil, so we should see the hosts win or at least avoid defeat here. Inter also look good for breaking the deadlock before the break as Genoa have conceded before HT in 8 of their last 10 against big 4 sides. For this match we will be laying Genoa with £20 and trading out after Inter take the lead, draw level or pull one back. If Genoa take the lead we will look to lay them again, but only if Inter look good for pulling it back. If Genoa go 2 up we will definitely lay them again, trading out ideally when Inter pull one back. If its goalless at 60 min's in we will close the trade as usual. We will also be having a small side trade on over 2.5 goals inplay, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break.

Preview:
Fiorentina have been struggling domestically of late but have a superb home record in the Champions League this campaign, winning all of their games at the Artemio Franchi. Bayern managed to win the reverse fixture 2-1 so Fiorentina have no choice but to come out attacking so we are expecting a 1st half goal. Bayern are much improved over their early season form and offensively look superb but have serious injury concerns so we do expect Fiorentina to win here, but you can't write Bayern off with Robben and Ribery up front. For this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety.

Preview:
Rubin have played only one official match in the past couple of months due to the winter break in Russia, so we aren't likely to see the hosts at their sharpest but they will be able to field a practically full strength side for this encounter and come into this match on the back of beating CSKA to win the Russian Super Cup a few days ago so should be confident they can secure a win here. Wolfsburg are much improved under their new Coach but with no Grafite, or a host of other key players, a long trip to Russia and a pitch in a terrible condition this is all set up for Rubin to secure a win here although we do expect both sides to score (Happened in 15 of Wolfsburg's last 16). For this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. It makes scene to stagger your stake here for shorter odds just incase Wolsburg score 1st and the odds will move against us). We will also be having a side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety.

Preview:
Inter have won their last 8 meetings with Catania but have been struggling to score and win of late with 4 of their last 5 finishing all square. The have a tough 2nd leg with Chelsea next week so we also expect a few players to be rested or at least on the pitch until Inter take the lead. Catania are on an up trend having only lost 1 of their last 6 and have secured 11 of the last 15 points up for grabs which has enabled them to pull away from the foot of the table up to 15th place. This match definitely doesn't look like it will be one sided but Catania have a pretty poor record against big 4 sides only picking up 1 point in their last 5. Catania also won't be able to field a full strength side for this match with 8 1st choice regulars injured so Inter should make it 13 consecutive games undefeated but we do expect both sides on the scoresheet in this encounter. For this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety. Out at 1.8 on the draw as usual if its goalless with loss on the draw, if a goal comes after this point and your concerned its going to finish in a draw, look to lay the leading team for safety. We will grab some cover on the 0-0, £7 initially backing further if concerned in play around HT, or just after.

Preview:
Wolfsburg are on the up with 4 wins and a tough away draw from their last 5 consecutive games. Definitely an improvement on their early season form. They haven't managed to shake off their habit of scoring and conceding yet (18 of their last 19) which is the reason we always trade on them and again we feel we will see this again here. They will have some tired legs after their tough away game midweek which will be the deciding factor here as despite their upturn in form Gladbach are showing they are one of the leagues best home sides this season and a tough nut to crack. Both sides scoring and Gladbach avoiding defeat would be our prediction here, but we do expect Wolfsburg to break the deadlock before the break. For this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety.

We will grab some cover on the 0-0, £6 initially backing further if concerned in play around HT, or just after.

Preview:
Hannover will need something special here if they are to grab 3 points. They have lost their last 5 home matches and while they ended a 9 match losing run on their last outing they were lucky to grab the win against 2nd from bottom Freiburg who had the better of play. Frankfurt have actually been impressive of late and are on an up trend with just one loss in their last 6. The odds support a home win here mainly because Frankfurt haven't beaten Hannover in over 20 years at home but Frankfurt clearly look the better side at present which is probably why Terry has layed them today. For this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety.

We will grab some cover on the 0-0, £7 initially backing further if concerned in play around HT, or just after.

Preview:
Burnley are another side who frequently score and conceded having done so in 9 of their last 10. They have a bad habit of conceding early so we won't be surprised if they go behind here early on but they have also managed to score before the break in 4 of their last 5 against similar opponents so this match should suit our standard trading plan. Both sides are desperate for points so it should be an entertaining but scrappy affair, both sides scoring looks on the cards and Burnley avoiding defeat. For this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety. Out at 1.8 on the draw as usual if its goalless with loss on the draw, if a goal comes after this point and your concerned its going to finish in a draw, look to lay the leading team for safety. We will grab some cover on the 0-0, £7 initially backing further if concerned in play around HT, or just after.

Preview:
Bologna looked good for the drop in the early stages of the season but they have certainly improved of late moving from the drop zone to a respectable 13th place. They have only lost 1 of their last 9 games and have won their last two league matches with a win over Champions League hopefuls Napoli last weekend. Their opponents here will be no pushovers as they have also been benefiting from an upturn in form of late but on the road they aren't the same side and struggle to score more than once against similar form sides, losing 80% of these encounters over the last 3 seasons. Sampdoria have a pretty strong 1st half scoring record (9 of their last 10) and despite their low scoring trend against similar sides we feel this will continue here. For this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a small side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety. Out at 1.8 on the draw as usual if its goalless with loss on the draw, if a goal comes after this point and your concerned its going to finish in a draw, look to lay the leading team for safety. We will grab some cover on the 0-0, £7 initially backing further if concerned in play around HT, or just after.

Preview:
Hoffenheim have won none of their games this season against teams currently in the top half, they also show no signs of improvement of late and with a host of key players out for this encounter we don't fancy their chances of avoiding defeat. Bremen have won their last two away games and are unbeaten in 5 matches overall, we saw a different side of them against Valencia which has been missing this season, hopefully it was a positive sign of things to come. They will be missing Sebastian Boenisch and Sandro Wagner which isn't ideal but they look in much better shape than the hosts and already beat them a few weeks ago. Bremen have scored and conceded in their last 8 and we feel this will continue in this encounter, we also expect a 1st half goal from the visitors. For this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a small side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety. Out at 1.8 on the draw as usual if its goalless with loss on the draw, if a goal comes after this point and your concerned its going to finish in a draw, look to lay the leading team for safety. We will grab some cover on the 0-0, £6 initially backing further if concerned in play around HT, or just after.

Preview:
Sunderland have been tough to beat on home solid this season only losing 2 of their 14 games. Their record against City doesn't make good reading with only 1 win in their last 10 (losing the other 9) but after a 4-0 battering of Bolton on their last outing they should be full of confidence they can grab some points here. City are one of the league more unpredictable sides having lost to Hull one week then whipping Chelsea another. If they are going to secure the desirable 4th place they can't afford to drop points here as Villa, Spurs and Liverpool all are all in the running for it. We feel both sides will register here and City on the scoresheet before the break. So for this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. We will also be having a small side trade on over 2.5 goals in play during the 1st half staggering the stake as usual, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break (trading out with a £5 profit on under 2.5), backing further as the odds drift with a few quid after the break if concerned 3 look likely for safety. Out at 1.8 on the draw as usual if its goalless with loss on the draw, if a goal comes after this point and your concerned its going to finish in a draw, look to lay the leading team for safety. We will grab some cover on the 0-0, £6 initially backing further if concerned in play around HT, or just after.

Preview:
For this match we will be laying portsmouth with £10-£15 inplay, trading out when Liverpool take the lead, draw level or pull one back, backing further if they go behind but look good for pulling it back. Also we will be backing overs as a side trade inplay during the 1st half. If its goalless at the break we will follow the usual trading plan. If Pompey are a cause for concern we will look to lay Liverpool in the next goal market for safety, this can always be traded out of with no loss later in the match as usual once Liverpool look the more dominant side. If its goalless 60 min's in we will close the trade for a small profit.

Preview:
For this match we will be laying the draw trading out after a goal. Worth considering chasing shorter av. odds just incase Osasuna score 1st.

We will be laying Wolves with £20 and trading out after Villa take the lead draw level or pull one back. We will also be having a side trade on over 2.5 goals as Villa have registered before HT in 9 of their last 10 against similar ranked opponents, following the usual plan if its goalless at the break.

If they go 2 behind we will definitely do this as we expect Villa to score here.
