Carling Cup Quarter Finals – Betting Tips
Carling Cup Quarter Finals; 29th and 30th November
The competition is starting to heat up as we reach the business end. Still lots of top sides left in, and some great clashes to look forward to. Here are my betting tips!
Chelsea v Liverpool - Tuesday 7:45pm
Liverpool played their last match just 48 hours ago, but are likely to still field a strong time as well as Chelsea. This is a repeat of the 2005 final, where Chelsea won 3-2 after extra time. Both sides can think they have a good chance of winning it this year, whoever gets through this one. Liverpool won here at Stamford Bridge, just 9 days ago. Chelsea are favourites though, with them being priced at 10/11 and Liverpool at 3/1. I think this match will go into extra time, so bet on a draw at 12/5.
Correct Score; 1-1 (13/2) First Goal Scorer; Fernando Torres for Chelsea (4/1)
Special; Liverpool to win after extra time (16/1)
Cardiff v Blackburn - Tuesday 7:45pm
Cariff are doing quite well in the Championship as they aim to get promoted via 1st or 2nd place. Blackburn are struggling their league campaign and sit bottom of the Premier League, but have a decent chance of getting to the semi finals in this cup. They do not want to do what Birmingham did last season though, by winning this competition and then getting relegated. Cardiff are slight favourites at 5/4 with Blackburn at 21/10. Hard to choose for this one, but I would go for Blackburn.
Correct Score; 1-2 (9/1) First Goal Scorer; Yakubu for Blackburn (7/1)
Special; There to be 4+ goals in 90 minutes (21/10)
Arsenal v Manchester City - Tuesday 8:00pm
Manchester City, like Liverpool played just two days ago, but with the squad at their disposal, they can swap 11 players and still have a strong side to face Arsenal. The home side will field a team with youngsters, experienced players and also give other players some game time. Arsenal lost last year in the final, and will definitely like to go one better. Arsenal are 21/10 to win this match, making Manchester City favourites at 13/10. I'd for an Arsenal win.
Correct Score; 3-1 (20/1) First Goal Scorer; Marouane Chamakh for Arsenal (11/2)
Special; Arsenal winning at half time and full time (4/1)
Manchester United v Crystal Palace - Wednesday 7:45pm
Manchester United have yet to meet a Premier League team in this competition, and now given a slightly favourable one at home to Crystal Palace, but bigger shocks have happened to Manchester United, as they have lost to Southend and Coventry in recent rounds. Manchester United are 2/9 to win with the visitors at 12/1. A draw is priced at 5/1, but I'd go for Manchester United, because they will play a side good enough to win.
Correct Score; 2-0 (6/1) First Goal Scorer; Danny Wellbeck for Manchester United (5/2)
Special; Handicap - Crystal Palace +2 (6/5)

Premier League Saturday – Betting Tips!
Saturday 26th November
Premier League Betting Tips!
Didn't exactly cover myself in glory with my Champions League predictions in the week, but I am hoping to get back on track with my Premier League predictions. Here are my tips!
Stoke v Blackburn - 12:45pm
Steve Kean continues to say that his team are performing well but not getting the right results. It's a results game though, and he needs to pick up better ones sooner rather than later. Stoke have lost their last two home matches, and will want to set the record straight. Stoke are 4/5 to win with Blackburn at 7/2. Those are good odds for the away side in my opinion, but I doubt Stoke will lose on the bounce at home, so therefore I am tipping them.
Correct Score; 3-1 (14/1) First Goal Scorer; Peter Crouch for Stoke (5/1)
Special; There to be 4+ goals (11/5)
Bolton v Everton - 3:00pm
Bolton have had a poor start to the season, and remain in the relegation places. Everton have been inconsistent thus far, winning against teams in the bottom half, but losing the majority of the teams in the top half, so this match should favour them. Everton are slight favourites at 11/8 with Bolton at 15/8. I think Bolton will edge this one.
Correct Score; 2-1 (8/1) First Goal Scorer; Kevin Davies for Bolton (7/1)
Special; To win both halves - Bolton (15/2)
Chelsea v Wolves - 3:00pm
Chelsea have been in shocking form of late, winning only 1 in their last 6. Time to turn it around with, what they expect to be, a routine win. Wolves won't be that easy though, as usually step up their performances in the big matches. A Wolves win is at 12/1, which may tempt some betters, but I'd still go for a Chelsea win at 1/5.
Correct Score; 1-0 (6/1) First Goal Scorer; Fernando Torres for Chelsea (7/2)
Special; Handicap - Wolves +2 (6/5)
Manchester United v Newcastle - 3:00pm
Newcastle lost their unbeaten run as they lost to the other side in Manchester last week. Manchester United have been strange in their form of late, but in the Premier League they have been ruthless since their 6-1 defeat to Manchester City. Manchester United are 1/3 to win here, and Newcastle are 8/1, with a draw at 4/1. A draw is possible in my opinion, but betting against Manchester United at home is never a good idea, so I'd go for a home win.
Correct Score; 2-0 (5/1) First Goal Scorer; Nani for Manchester United (6/1)
Special; There to be 0-1 goals scored in this match (7/2)
Norwich v QPR - 3:00pm
Both sides were promoted this season and perhaps performing above their expectations with both looking way down at the relegation places. Norwich are 6/5 to win this one, with QPR at 2/1. I honestly think it can go either way, so I'll be tipping for a draw here, at 5/2.
Correct Score; 2-2 (14/1) First Goal Scorer; Heidar Helguson for QPR (5/1)
Special; Norwich winning at half time, drawing at full time (14/1)
Sunderland v Wigan - 3:00pm
Wigan are in desperate trouble at the moment, picking up one point from the last possible 27. They couldn't defeat Blackburn last week either, and are quickly seperating themselves from the rest of the league. Sunderland have been quite dull this season, and not scoring many goals. I think this could go either way with Sunderland at 8/11 and Wigan at 4/1. For some reason, I think Wigan will get the victory here.
Correct Score; 1-2 (12/1) First Goal Scorer; Hugo Rodallega for Wigan (8/1)
Special; Wigan to come from behind and win (14/1)
West Brom v Tottenham - 3:00pm
Tottenham have won 9 Premier League games on the bounce, and find themselves in 3rd place in the league. With this form, they could potentially fight for the title. This will be a tricky task for them though, as West Brom have been producing some decent results of late. West Brom are 3/1 to win, with Tottenham at 10/11. I think this will be a draw (12/5).
Correct Score; 0-0 (8/1) First Goal Scorer; Gareth Bale for Tottenham (7/1)
Special; Tottenham to score 0-1 goals (EVENS)
Arsenal v Fulham - 5:30pm
Arsenal, like their North London rivals, have also been in immaculate form of late, in both Premier League and Champions League, and will expecting another win here against the rather ordinary team of Fulham this season. Arsenal to win is at 4/9. If you fancy an upset, then a draw is at 10/3 or a an away win at 6/1.
Correct Score; 3-0 (8/1) First Goal Scorer; Robin Van Persie for Arsenal (2/1)
Special; Robin Van Persie to score at any time (4/7)

Champions League Wednesday – Betting Tips!
Champions League Wednesday - Betting Tips! (November 23rd)
It was entertaining last night, but for English fans, not the best results for the two Manchester clubs. Also, I didn't get many of my predictions right last night, so I am hoping to make amends for the matches on tonight. Arsenal and Chelsea face German opposition, and wins will see them advance, and also the small matter of AC Milan against Barcelona.
Bayer Leverkusen v Chelsea - 7:45pm
Chelsea have been in poor form of late, and this match has probably come at the wrong time. Chelsea are in a strong position in their group and win would qualify them, but a defeat would leave them needing a result against Valencia next week. Bayer Leverkusen still have a strong chance of qualifying, and especially if they win this match tonight. The reverse fixture was 2-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Bayer Leverkusen are 5/2 to win, with Chelsea slight favourites at 11/10. I'm on the fence with this one, so I am going for a draw (9/4).
Correct Score; 1-1 (6/1) First Goal Scorer; Eren Derdiyok for Bayer Leverkusen (8/1)
Special; There to be 4+ goals (9/4)
Arsenal v Borussia Dortmund - 7:45pm
The second of two English v German ties, as flying high Arsenal take on the German champions. Arsenal have been in fine form of late, and will be confident going into this tie. Arsenal just need a win to secure top spot, although a draw wouldn't be the worst result, but getting 1st is Arsenal's priority. Dortmund still have a chance of qualifying, but will need to get a result tonight. They have lost twice on the road in Europe this season, but recently won at Bayern Munich, so they are also confident. Arsenal are EVENS to win, and Dortmund are 13/5. I would go for a home win.
Correct Score; 3-1 (12/1) First Goal Scorer; Robin Van Persie for Arsenal (7/2)
Special; To come from behind and win - Arsenal (8/1)
AC Milan v Barcelona - 7:45pm
This is a mouth watering game in terms of the ability both teams have at their disposal. They are playing for 1st, and a potentially easier 2nd round match, but it is great to watch two European heavyweights go toe to toe. Irbahimovic, Messi, Pato, Iniesta plus many many more. AC Milan need to win if they want to get into 1st place, whereas Barcelona will secure it with a win, and a draw would suit them too. AC Milan are 4/1 to win this match (kind odds in my opinion) whereas Barcelona are 8/11. I would go for Barcelona, as it's never clever to bet against them, but at 4/1, I would go for AC Milan.
Correct Score; 1-0 (7/1) First Goal Scorer; Zlatan Ibrahimovic for AC Milan (6/1)
Special; Match to be drawing at half time, when AC Milan win full time (9/1)

AC Milan v Barcelona (Draw)

Champions League Tuesday - Betting Tips! (22nd November
There are quite a few games with significant importance tonight, as teams have their own destiny in their hands, if they can win these all important fixtures. I am going to look closely at the 3 matches which are the most important and my betting predictions, then I will create some accumulator tips! Happy Betting!
Napoli v Manchester City - 7:45pm
Napoli are sitting in 3rd with 5 points, as Manchester City are 2nd with 7 points. This match is crucial for both sides. If City were to win, then they will qualify, and a draw will leave them in a strong position. A Napoli win would but them in pole position, as it looks like Bayern Munich will progress tonight, as they play Villarreal at home. It was 1-1 when these sides last met, but since then Manchester City have been on a unbelievable streak. City are favourites as they are EVENS, and Napoli are 13/5. I think Manchester City will just about edge it tonight.
Correct Score; 0-1 (6/1) First Goal Scorer; Edin Dzeko for Manchester City (5/1)
Special; There to be 0-1 goals (13/5)
Manchester United v Benfica - 7:45pm
This match has a lot of history in it, and this particular match has significance importance too. Both are currently on 8 points going into this fixture, and a win should put either of the sides through. If it's a draw, then both still have it in their hands going into the last game, but cannot qualify tonight unless Basel lose against Otelul Galati. Manchester United are 8/15 to win tonight, with Benfica at 11/2. I'd go for a home win in this one, but another tight match for sure.
Correct Score; 2-0 (6/1) First Goal Scorer; Nani for Manchester United (7/1)
Special; To come from behind and win or draw - Manchester United (4/1)
Lyon v Ajax - 7:45pm
This match is another important one, and it takes place in Real Madrid's group. It looks set up for Madrid to progress 1st from the group, but it's either Lyon or Ajax who will qualify 2nd. They drew when they last met, giving Lyon the slight advantage here, but if Ajax get a result, then they will hope they will qualify themselves. It's all to play for in this one as Lyon are at 4/5 to win, with Ajax at 7/2 to get a win. I'm going for a draw in this one, and that is priced at 5/2.
Correct Score; 1-1 (11/2) First Goal Scorer; Lisandro Lopez for Lyon (4/1)
Special; Ajax winning at half time, then draw at full time (14/1)

Premier League Saturday - Betting Tips!
International break is now over, and now we can focus on Premier League now as it will really start to get going. It's been a brilliant so far, with plenty of goals, and hope for me this week. As per usual, my betting tips for Saturday's matches.
Norwich v Arsenal - 12:45pm
Norwich have given everyone a hard match so far this season, and we'll need to be on top of their game when an in form Arsenal visit Carrow Road. Norwich are 9/2 to win this match, with Arsenal at 4/6. Arsenal have been in brilliant form of late, and I think if they don't have an off day, then they will win here comfortably.
Correct Score; 1-3 (10/1) First Goal Scorer; Robin Van Persie for Arsenal (7/2)
Special; There to be 0-1 goals scored in this match (4/1)
Everton v Wolves - 3:00pm
Everton's record against top half is poor, so in that case, they should expect a result here against a Wolves team not exactly excelling at the moment, but outside the drop zone. A home win is at 8/13 here, with Wolves winning at 5/1. It was an unexpected draw last season, and for it to happen again it's at 13/5. I predict a home win though.
Correct Score; 4-0 (25/1) First Goal Scorer; Tim Cahill for Everton (9/2)
Special; Everton to score 3 or more goals (12/5)
Manchester City v Newcastle - 3:00pm
Huge match at the top of the table. 1st place City will give 3rd place Newcastle their hardest test of the season. Both teams remain undefeated so far, but there is a good chance it will end for one of them come Saturday 5pm. Manchester City are 1/3 to win, with Newcastle at 8/1. Personally, a draw for me is standing out, and that's at 4/1.
Correct Score; 0-0 (12/1) First Goal Scorer; Sergio Aguero for Manchester City (3/1)
Special; Result after 60 minutes - Draw (2/1)
Stoke v QPR - 3:00pm
Both sitting in mid-table with inconsistent starts in the Premier League. Both sides lost their most recent game too, but Stoke were humiliated by Bolton 5-0, and will want to get back to winning ways, and at home they more than often do. Stoke are 5/6 to win with QPR at 7/2. I'd go for a home win for this one.
Correct Score; 2-0 (6/1) First Goal Scorer; Jonathan Walters for Stoke (5/1)
Special; Stoke winning at half time and full time (6/4)
Sunderland v Fulham - 3:00pm
Another clash from the bottom half of the table, and both teams haven't really got their season started as of yet, but now it's time to kick on. Sunderland are 13/10 to win this match with Fulham at 21/10 so it could go either way. However, in that case, I'd go for an away win.
Correct Score; 1-2 (10/1) First Goal Scorer; Bobby Zamora for Fulham (7/1)
Special; There to be 4+ goals (11/4)
West Brom v Bolton - 3:00pm
Last three times these two teams have met at the Hawthorns have all been draws, with the last two being 1-1. A repeat of that result is 11/5. An away win is priced at 13/5 with a home win at 11/10. I think a home win is in store here, and the odds are quite kind in my opinion.
Correct Score; 3-1 (12/1) First Goal Scorer; Shane Long for West Brom (5/1)
Special; Result after 30 minutes - West Brom winning (12/5)
Wigan v Blackburn - 3:00pm
Huge match at the bottom of the table, as 19th takes on 20th. A lose for either side would mean big trouble, but a win will be a massive relief for the managers. Wigan are slight favourites at 8/5, with Blackburn at 9/5. Really could go either way, so I'd go for a draw, at 21/10.
Correct Score; 1-1 (11/2) First Goal Scorer; Franco Di Santo for Wigan (6/1)
Special; To come from behind and draw - Blackburn (13/2)
Swansea v Manchester United - 5:30pm
Swansea have been impressive at home so far this season, undefeated and yet to concede. Manchester United will be a hard test for them for sure, as they try and keep their pursuit of the title and will not want Manchester City to have a bigger lead than they currently do at the moment. Manchester United are 1/2 to win, with Swansea at 6/1. I'd go for the safe bet, and that's an away win.
Correct Score; 1-3 (11/1) First Goal Scorer; Javier Hernandez for Manchester United (3/1)
Special; There to be 4+ goals in the match (7/4)

England v Sweden – Betting Tips
England v Sweden - Betting Tips
It may only be a friendly, but there can be some money won nonetheless, and for me, it makes it more exciting! Anything can happen in friendlies (for example, England beat Spain) so it's a better way of making money. It's expected to be a completely changed England side for the one that won on Saturday, so bear that in mind before making final bets. I am going to bet on four categories, so that's four different ways I hope I can win some money on this match, but it's a friendly so don't bet on the things with lower odds.
Match Betting
England are 4/5 to win, but Sweden are no mugs here, so I think the odds are too short to bet on personally. I can't see Sweden winning either, but they are at 4/1. It will be a home win or draw, but if you want a little more risk but win bigger money, then go for a draw at 11/5. More often than not, when these two sides meet, where it's a friendly or in a major tournament, the usual outcome is a draw.
Correct Score
Score could be anything, it's hard to predict how the game will go. There is never usually a goal feast in national games at Wembley, so I doubt there will be more than 4 goals. I would go for a 1-0 or 2-1 win for England, which are priced at 6/1 and 8/1 respectively.
Half Time/ Full Time
This always offers good odds, especially if you think a team will turn it around in the second half. For example, if Sweden are winning at half time and England are winning at full time, the odds of that happening is at 25/1, so could be worth a punt. The most likely outcome is for England to be winning at half time and full time, which is at 15/8. England to be winning at half time, but end up drawing is 16/1, so I will probably go for that, good value.
First Goal Scorer
Final one this; I'd play it safe with an England player, but also a player who you are pretty certain to be in the line up. It's best to do this bet once you know what the final team will be. For some reason, I think John Terry, with all the headlines he has got lately, will score first at 25/1. Not bad odds, and England do well from set plays, and he is the only player to be confirmed of starting.
Happy Betting!

November 11th
Euro 2012 Play-offs - Betting Tips
European Championship Play-offs start tonight, as 8 teams try and grab the final four places for the tournament next summer. So much importance riding on the two games, as it's more than just a footballing matter. Here are my tips and predictions for tonight's matches!
Estonia v Republic of Ireland - 7:45pm
Republic of Ireland earned a the dream draw, as they were drawn to the lowest ranked team in the draw, and the second leg is at home. Estonia will not be easy though, as they had to see of the likes of Slovenia and Serbia to advance. Estonia are 9/4 to win here tonight with Ireland at 11/8. A draw is at 21/10. Ireland usually have a defensive approach away from home, so can't see that changing here. I think it will be a low scoring match, and most likely a draw.
Correct Score; 0-0 (7/1) First Goal Scorer; Jarmo Ahjupera for Estonia (8/1)
Special; There to be 0-1 goals in this match (6/4)
Turkey v Croatia - 7:00pm
The highest ranked team from pot 1 (Croatia), face the highest ranked team from pot 2 (Turkey). Both of these teams would have preferred no to play each other, but only one can advance to the tournament. Both sides are coached by top managers and play attractive football to please the fans. Turkey are 11/8 to win tonight, as they are slight favourites with Croatia at 21/10. A draw is priced at 11/5. I think Guus Hiddink will get his boys on top form tonight, so a close home win for me.
Correct Score; 2-1 (9/1) First Goalscorer; Ivicia Olic for Croatia (8/1)
Special; Turkey to come from behind and win (12/1)
Bosnia v Portugal - 7:00pm
A repeat of the 2010 World Cup play off as Portugal face Bosnia again. Last time out, Portugal beat Bosnia 2-0 on aggregate, winning 1-0 in both legs. Bosnia will want to get revenge but know they are the underdogs here. Ronaldo and co will be expected to advance through to the finals. Bosnia are 21/10 to win tonight, making Portugal slight favourites at 11/8. 11/5 is a draw, but this will be a close match, and I can't call it. If that's the case, then I always go for a draw.
Correct Score; 1-1 (6/1) First Goal Scorer; Edin Dzeko for Bosnia (6/1)
Special; Bosnia score their first goal in the second half (2/1)
Czech Republic v Montenegro - 7:15pm
Czech Republic usually qualify for this tournament, despite their current team not being as strong as their past teams. Montenegro did fantastically in the group stage, as they drew with England twice and collected 10 points from their 4 home matches. Czech Republic are fairly strong favourites at 8/11 with Montenegro at 4/1. I think it will be closer than bookmakers suggest, so a close home win for me.
Correct Score; 1-0 (5/1) First Goal Scorer; Milan Baros for Czech Republic (9/2)
Special; Drawing at half time, Czech Republic win at full time (4/1)

Premier League Saturday – Betting Tips!
Premier League - November 5th
Starting to pick my game up with the predictions last week and I hoped some of you took some of my tips! Premier League was great last week too, so exciting and unpredictable which makes betting on it even harder! Here are my predictions for Saturday's football in the Premier League.
Newcastle v Everton - 12:45pm
Newcastle still remain undefeated and are sitting 3rd place in the table, whereas Everton are in the bottom half and have the worst record against the top 10 sides. Newcastle are 5/4 to win this mind, despite the form they are on because Everton make it hard for any team. An away win is priced at 11/5 with a draw at 9/4. It will be close, but I am going for a home win.
Correct Score; 3-2 (25/1) First Goal Scorer; Leon Best for Newcastle (6/1)
Special; Newcastle to come from behind and win (10/1)
Arsenal v West Brom - 3:00pm
Arsenal have been in much better form of late, and go into this fixture after their epic 5-3 win at Stamford Bridge. West Brom won this game last year 3-2, having been 3-0 up, but the bookies don't think the same will happen again, but you never know. Arsenal are 2/5 to win this one, with a draw at 7/2 and an away win at 7/1. Robin Van Persie is expected to start and he is on fire at the moment (don't think he'll score though), home win.
Correct Score; 1-0 (6/1) First Goal Scorer; Gervinho for Arsenal (11/2)
Special; There to be 0-1 goals in the match (9/2)
Aston Villa v Norwich - 3:00pm
Aston Villa will want to get back to winning ways after not winning their last 3. As for Norwich, if they keep up their current points per game, then next year they will be playing in the top flight once again, will be a close match this one. Aston Villa are 4/5, with Norwich at 7/2. Personally I think it will be another home win!
Correct Score; 2-1 (7/1) First Goal Scorer; Gabriel Agbonlahor for Aston Villa (7/1)
Special; Drawing at half time, Aston Villa win at full time (7/2)
Blackburn v Chelsea - 3:00pm
Huge match for both teams. Chelsea could of been 2nd a few weeks ago, but now sit in joint 4 with Spurs who have played a game less. Back to back defeats for them is a rarity so will need to get 3 points here. Blackburn have only won once this season, as the pressure builds up on Steven Kean. Blackburn are 6/1 to win here, with Chelsea at 4/9. Chelsea you can say are 'due' a win, and I don't think they will make a mistake here.
Correct Score; 0-3 (7/1) First Goal Scorer; Fernando Torres for Chelsea (4/1)
Special; There to be 4 or more goals in the match (5/4)
Liverpool v Swansea - 3:00pm
Swansea are flying at home this season, but away from home they need to improve their form. As for Liverpool, they have dropped silly points this season, and have been wasteful at times, especially a few weeks ago against Norwich. Liverpool are 2/7 for this match, with Swansea at 9/1. I'd go for a Liverpool win here.
Correct Score; 4-0 (12/1) First Goal Scorer; Luis Suarez for Liverpool (3/1)
Special; Liverpool to win with 3 or more goals scored in the match (9/10)
Manchester United v Sunderland - 3:00pm
Manchester United have been impeccable at home in recent seasons, and despite losing 6-1 in their last home Premier League match, you'd still fancy them. Sunderland's season has yet to really get going and haven't picked up a run of good results so far. Manchester United are 1/5 here, with Sunderland at 12/1. A draw is priced at 11/2 if you are feeling lucky but I can only see a home win here.
Correct Score; 3-1 (10/1) First Goal Scorer; Wayne Rooney for Manchester United (11/4)
Special; There to be 3 goals in the first half (5/1)
QPR v Manchester City - 5:30pm
Manchester City are flying in all competitions at the moment, and they just continue to beat every team put in front of them. Will QPR be a bigger threat? Well ask Chelsea just two weeks ago. It won't be an easy game for the visitors, especially if David Silva fails a late fitness test. QPR are 8/1 to win with Manchester City at 1/3. I'd go for a City win here.
Correct Score; 1-3 (9/1) First Goal Scorer; Edin Dzeko for Manchester City (3/1)
Special; Result after 15 minutes with Manchester City winning (3/1)
Thanks for reading, and good luck!

Champions League Betting - Wednesday 2nd November
Champions League match day four continues with some mouth watering clashes, and so many games that matter tonight. Didn't have the best of luck last night, but I am hoping I can make up for it in tonight's matches!
Villarreal v Manchester City - 7:45pm
Manchester City don't have to win here, but failing to do so will leave them a lot to do in their final clashes of the Champions League group stage. Thanks to Sergio Aguero's last minute goal in the reverse fixture, has perhaps let of the pressure in this one, having said that, will still need a good performance here tonight, as Villarreal are a tough team to beat on home soil. Will be an intriguing match for sure, and to stand any chance of qualifying, Villarreal will need to win here and their remaining two games, possible? For a home win tonight, it is priced at 5/1 and Manchester City it is 4/7, stating that are strong favourites despite what happened when they were home. A draw is at 11/4. Personally I think this one will be a score draw, I think Manchester City may slip up again here.
Correct Score; 1-1 (6/1) First Goal Scorer; Mario Balotelli for Manchester City (9/2)
Special; Drawing at half time and Manchester City to win at full time (7/2)
Manchester United v Otelul Galati - 7:45pm
It's a must win match for Manchester United, and realistically they must surely win? The odds for them tonight match Barcelona's for last night, in which they won 4-0. United drew their first two matches, leaving them with a lot of work to do, but a win tonight, will make their final group games far more comfortable, as they will be in the driving season. Qualifying shouldn't be the target for Manchester United, but finishing 1st should be their priority. Manchester United are 1/10 to win here tonight, with Otelul Galati at 8/1 to earn a draw, or to win, it's at 22/1. It's a no brainer, Manchester United win.
Correct Score; 4-0 (8/1) First Goal Scorer; Dimitar Berbatov for Manchester United (7/2)
Special; Manchester United to score 4 or more (6/4)
Bayern Munich v Napoli - 7:45pm
This group is turning out to be a tough group for all sides, even so that a side like Villarreal are not putting up too much of a fight. Bayern Munich have a great record at home, only losing to Inter Milan last year. Both of these sides are undefeated, but I feel that will end for one of them tonight. Bayern munich are 2/7 to win here with Napoli at 10/1. I'd go for another draw in this group (9/2).
Correct Score; 2-2 (20/1) First Goal Scorer; Edinson Cavani for Napoli (9/1)
Special; Napoli to score 2-3 goals in the match (10/3)

Champions League Tuesday – Betting Tips!
Champions League Betting - Tuesday November 1st
Champions League match day 4 tonight and tomorrow, as teams are should be starting to qualify from their groups, and this is when there are real 'must win' scenarios for a lot of the clubs taking part. Let the action commence, and below is my betting tips for the key clashes, and then an accumulator tip!
Arsenal v Marseille - 7:45pm
When these two sides met a fortnight ago, it was Arsenal who finished the game in style, and won the 3 points with the last kick of the game. Marseille were getting worse and worse as the game went on, and Arsenal grew stronger and stronger, and in the end, deserved the win at a hard ground to win. Arsenal only need 3 points to qualify for the next stage, and than after that will hope to secure 1st place too. Arsenal are 4/6 to win tonight, with Marseille at 9/2. If you think it will be a draw, then back that at 13/5. I think Arsenal are playing some good stuff at the moment, so I'll pick them.
Correct Score; 1-0 (6/1) First Goal Scorer; Gervinho for Arsenal (11/2)
Special; There to be 0-1 goals in the match (13/5)
Genk v Chelsea - 7:45pm
Both of these sides were in thrilling games at the weekend, as Genk won 5-4, but Chelsea lost 5-3. Realistically though, we shouldn't be seeing that many goals tonight. Chelsea can secure their place in the last 16 if they were to win here. It was 5-0 to Chelsea in the reverse fixture, and shouldn't have too much trouble, playing this side away. Chelsea are 2/9 to win here, so strong favourites, but if they don't win then a draw at 5/1 may be worth a punt. For a home win it's 12/1. Personally, same case with Arsenal, I can just see both English teams winning and progressing tonight.
Correct Score; 0-3 (7/1) First Goal Scorer; Fernando Torres for Chelsea (5/2)
Special; Chelsea to be drawing at half time but win at full time (10/3)
Valencia v Bayer Leverkusen - 7:45pm
This is arguably the most important match tonight as both of these sides looks to be going head to head, as they aim to finish 2nd behind Chelsea as you can imagine. Bayer Leverkusen have the slight advantage at the moment, having won the reverse fixture, but Valencia are the home side in this one, and a win would put them back with the slight edge. If Bayer Leverkusen were to win, then they would be 7 points ahead of Valencia, therefore qualifying themselves, so this match is crucial. Valencia are 4/6 favourites, with Bayer Leverkusen at 9/2. I reckon this will be a home win, just.
Correct Score; 2- 1(7/1) First Goal Scorer; Robert Soldado for Valencia (4/1)
Special; There to be 4 or more goals in the match (11/5)
