Arsenal v Tottenham Prediction and Betting Tips for Arsenal vs Spurs Sunday By Alex Peace

Arsenal v Tottenham Prediction and Betting Tips for Arsenal vs Spurs Sunday: "The second half of a derby double on Sunday in the Premier League sees Arsenal take on Tottenham in a North London derby live on Sky and we have got free football tips for the match."

Both teams have had good starts to the season, following a home defeat to Aston Villa on the first day Arsenal have overcome Fenerbache 5-0 on aggregate in the Champions League and beaten Fulham 3-1 in the league. Spurs have picked up two 1-0 wins in the league against Palace and Swansea and have knocked Dinamo Tblisi out of the Europa League.
With both teams getting good results under their belts, the game looks a tricky one to call but I have to fancy Arsenal. The last four encounters between these two sides have ended in home wins and Spurs have scraped through their Premier League encounters so far and haven’t been overly impressive for me and Arsenal are a huge step up in class of opposition for them.There is something a little bit strange about this fixture as it always seems to produce bags of goals. There have been 31 goals in the last six meetings between the two sides, an absolutely massive average. With both teams possessing huge amounts of attacking talent with the likes of Cazorla, Walcott, Soldado and Paulinho on display goals could fly in again here. Over 2.5 goals is available at 4/6 while over 3.5 is available at 2/1 in the same place if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous.
In Arsenal’s two Premier League games so far this season Olivier Giroud has grabbed the first goal and I fancy him to be at it again here. Playing on his own upfront means Giroud gets a lot of service and he’ll be full of confidence with his two goals so far. He is available at 6/1 to net first.
With the goals looking to fly and Arsenal looking good for a win, a 3-1 win for Arsenal is a good price at 16/1.

Liverpool vs Man United Prediction Betting Tips Liverpool v United Sunday By Andrew Clark

Liverpool vs Man United Prediction Betting Tips Liverpool v United Sunday: "Liverpool host Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday and we have got free football betting tips for the first part of Super Sunday."

Liverpool have so far won their opening two games of the Premier League season, both by the same 1-0 scoreline while Man United beat Swansea 4-1 before being held 0-0 against Chelsea on Monday night.
That match saw Wayne Rooney back in the United starting line-up and he is likely to keep his place after that man of the match performance. He thrives on matches against Liverpool and it would be no surprise to see him on the scoresheet at Anfield.
The hosts will once again be without Luis Suarez but Daniel Sturridge is providing the goals so far, he has scored both Liverpool’s winners so far this season.
In the latest betting for Liverpool vs Manchester United Liverpool are a best price 13/8, the draw is 12/5 and Man United are 19/10 to leave Merseyside with all three points.
Both teams have scored in the last six meetings between the two sides and the last four at Anfield. In the last six at Anfield Liverpool have picked up four wins, losing just once which was last season’s 2-1 defeat thanks to a late Robin Van Persie penalty. Both teams to score in 4/6 (Bet365) and although the price won’t appeal to many, it looks a banker.
The last four meetings between the sides have finished 2-1 and this match looks sure to be close again. If Liverpool can keep up their good form against United, and their bright start to the season then a 2-1 Liverpool win at 10/1 is well worth a bet.
If Wayne Rooney keeps his place in the starting line-up it is impossible to ignore him in the goalscorer markets, he is a best price 8/1 to score first at William Hill and 11/4 to score anytime in the match.

Liverpool vs Man United Betting Tips

Both teams to score – 4/6
Liverpool to win 2-1 – 10/1
Wayne Rooney to score anytime – 11/4

Osasuna vs Villarreal betting tips 31 August 2013 Spain Primera Neuro

Osasuna vs Villarreal betting tips 31 August 2013 Spain Primera: "Osasuna will be trying to get their first point(s) tonight as they take on newly promoted Villarreal, after failing to get anything positive out the first two matches played. In a season opener they lost at home against Granada 1:2, while Bilbao defeated them on the road with a 2:0 result last weekend."

Team of Jose Luis Mendilibar doesn’t seem like a convincing roster, while their sole target this season will be staying out of the relegation zone at the end of the championship. However, with the way they started, the things aren’t looking that great for them after two defeats. They will try to bounce back to positive way starting from tonight’s game, while the coach said that his young players are conscious of tough start, asking the fans to help them during tonight’s game. Their atmosphere isn’t at perfect level, but everyone is expecting better response from the players as it’s still early into the season. Good news for the coach Mendilibar is that midfielder Armenteros overcome his injury and will be included into mission, same as right midfielder Cejudo. Right defender Bertran (2/0) is sidelined with injury, same as central defender Flano, defensive midfielder Lolo and striker Nino, as neither of those three played a minute in a new season.Villarreal, on the other side, entered the new season in a best possible way as the team has two consecutive victories and will try tonight to write the history, trying to get the three victories at the start of the season, something they have never did in past.
They have showed great fighting spirit in first two rounds, both times coming from behind in order to claim their victories. In the season opener they were twice back in the scoreline against Almeria away from home to claim 3:2 victory, while Valladolid took a very early lead in the previous round’s match last weekend, but couldn’t handle the pressure and were defeated with a 2:1 result. Guests continue to be without left back Jokic and defensive midfielder Farinos, both being sidelined with injuries from the pre-season period, while the team actually has no fresh injury or suspension problems. Their lineup shouldn’t be changed in comparison to last weekend’s one when they earned a victory over Valladolid.
Osasuna have lost their last three matches in Primera.
Osasuna are undefeated in nine of their last ten matches against Villarreal.
Osasuna have conceded at least two goals in their last three matches in Primera.
Osasuna will go strong into the game from the start, but surely lack enough stability at the back. Villarreal surely has the quality to score once or twice in the game, while the home side has to search for a victory, making this match pretty open where both sides to score has great chances to come easily.
Bet: Both teams to score

Cercle Brugge vs Leuven betting tips 31 Aug 2013 Belgium Pro League By Isaiah

Cercle Brugge vs Leuven betting tips 31 Aug 2013 Belgium Pro League: "Cercle Brugge tried hard in the previous round, but failed to avoid the defeat in a difficult match on the road they lost narrowly with a 1:0 result to Genk. Hosts scored in the fourth minute and despite great effort from their visitors, they managed to keep the lead till the end of the match, while newly acquired goalkeeper of Cercle Brugge Delle made a good impression in his debut."

This year is also expected to be quite difficult for them, as they stay in the league in the toughest possible way the season before. Their clear target for this season is also avoiding the relegation, no matter in which way. Their financial status isn’t at he bright level this Summer either and despite some gaps in the roster, they aren’t expected to bring any new faces. However they did well till now having a victory, two draws and two defeats, staying out of the last positions at the table early in the season. Going into the match against Leuven, there is no other target for the home side but to try to get the three pointer, as they are facing against a team which is in similar problems.
Goalkeeper Verbist (4/0) is injured, but doesn’t seem to be in the plans of coach after the signing of Delle from Nice. Players will be field up in a 4-3-3 formation, while the attack will be led by Boi, Kabananga and D’Haene.Leuven is entering this game after achieving great victory last weekend, which was their first into the new season, winning over Lokeren 2:1 at home. They were behind in the scoreline at the beginning of the second half, but responded with two goals in eleven minutes for a fairly taken victory.
After five rounds, the team has a victory, draw and three defeats, while the main target, as said, remains staying in the league this season. The teams target for this game is to stay unbeaten and if possible, try to hurt their hosts and get another three pointer which would be precious in their relegation battle as Cercle is one of their direct rivals. They have signed striker Kostovski from Vardar (scored 22 goals last season) to improve the attacking line, while the visitors remain to fight without right back Bandalovski (2/0) who is suspended, while main right midfielder Vanaudenaerde is still out with a long term injury, same as central defender Raymaekers. Guests will also field the 4-3-3 formation with aggressive trio being Azevedo, Cerigioni and Messoudi.
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Oud-Heverlee’s last three away games.
Cercle Bruges are undefeated in their last five home matches against Oud-Heverlee.
Both teams will try to get the three pointer tonight, both playing in a 4-3-3 formation. It’s obvious the game will be open one, with much more chances for goals that the bookmakers are suggesting at the moment.
Bet: Over 2.5 goals 

Rennes vs Lyon betting tips 31 August 2013 French Ligue 1 By Neuro

Rennes vs Lyon betting tips 31 August 2013 French Ligue 1: "Rennes got the important victory last weekend when they visited Evian with the result of 1:2. Their victory was fair looking at the overall performance of both teams, as the guests were absolutely dominant in the first halftime, getting a 2:0 lead with two goals from Oliveira. However, Evian tried to put them on pressure in the second half, but couldn’t equalize with a goal scored for the final result."

Coach Montanier spoke with flattering words for his players, saying that the players adapted great to new circumstances, especially having nice words of young talent Moreira who proves his quality at every opportunity given. Also, the coach revealed that their big star, team captain and central midfielder Allessandrini isn’t ready for tonight’s game, adding that he will use the player only when the one is absolutely ready and there is no risk to his health. Hosts will be trying to get the third victory this season, in order to approach positions that lead to European Cups which is their target for this year. Defenders Boye and Armand are still out sidelined, with midfielder Doucoure having a knee injury. Midfielder Konradsen (1/0) has a groin injury, while defensive midfielder Pajot (2/1) is suspended.Lille is coming from a fairly deserved victory over St Etienne at home with the narrow 1:0 result. They were superior for the most of the game, scoring the only goal from the penalty shoot in 37th minute, while the home side overall showed that they are much more prepared early in the season, with more determination overall.
The team now has two victories, same as their tonight’s opponents, with the difference that their two victories were earned at home. On the other side, they lost the only match played on the road, against mediocre Reims 2:1 two weeks before. Their atmosphere is hurt a bit with the transfer saga around their midfielder Thauvin, who wants to move to Marseille and is constantly pushing the club’s board for the transfer to be done. His attitude is heavily criticized by some of the Lille’s best players, including Mavuba most recently. However, the player is unlikely to feature for the club as long as the saga doesn’t end. On the bright side, they have no fresh injury or suspension worries as the guests only miss long term injured striker de Melo.
Lille are undefeated in 22 of their last 24 matches against Rennes.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in seven of Lille’s last eight away games in Ligue 1.
Both teams are entering this game with a target to get all three points. Rennes is playing well at home and should be slight favorites for all three points, but the best bet seems to be over goals as neither of the two teams inspire with their defenses, while offensive part is arguably better side of the team in each sides.
Bet: Over 2.25 goals 

Twente vs Heerenveen betting tips 31 August 2013 Holland Eredivisie By Sunshine

Twente vs Heerenveen betting tips 31 August 2013 Holland Eredivisie: "Twente is coming into this game from a narrow 1:0 defeat away to Vitesse last weekend, as the team suffered their first loss in the season. Hosts entered the game much better, raising the level of performance after 20th minute and have scored the leading goal in 26th minute. In the second half Twente had slight superiority, but failed to break the defense of the home side creating few chances."

The coach Jansen was quite disappointed with the result, saying that the result leaves them bitter and that his team could have get at least a draw. Adding that they were good in the second time, but that they have lost their calm as the time passed. After two impressive victories, over Feyenoord 4:1 away from home and against Utrecht 6:0 at home, Twente was brought back to earth with this result. However, the team has a lot of talent and is excellent in offensive parts, but have showed in match against Vitesse and season opener against RKC, that they have problems breaking tight defenses. Team captain and midfielder Brama didn’t overcome the injury, while left back Schindler returns from an injury giving some extra option to the coach but it’s hard to see him playing all ninety minutes, while the coach said that he sees no reason in changing the lineup that played against Vitesse last weekend.Heerenveen recovered from a shock defeat previous weekend from Heracles 2:4 at home, as they managed to held champions Ajax in a 3:3 draw last weekend leaving good impression of themselves. Although their guests took the lead of 2:0 in 17th minute, hosts were excellent and responded with two quick goals from Finnbogason, while Eikrem brought them into 3:2 lead just before the half-time whistle.
Ajax had much more of the ball possession and managed to get the draw, although they were entitled maybe to even something more having in mind overall picture of the game. Seems that the team continued scoring easy, but that they have kept the poor performances of the defensive part from the previous season. The coach his urged the club’s board to improve the roster, especially at the back, while there are some rumors that the club will sign Venlo’s striker Nwofor. Guests will be without important striker Finnbogason (4/6) in this game, who is expect to resume training next week, while the team will also be without central midfielder de Roon (4/0). Left back Raitala and offensive midfielder Pappa are yet to recover from long term injuries.
Twente have kept a clean sheet in five of their last six home matches against Heerenveen.
Heerenveen have scored at least two goals in their last four matches in Eredivisie.
Absences of Finnbogason and de Roon are too big for guests in this clash. Twente is coming from a defeat and has a lot of to prove, while their attacking power shouldn’t have problems for against weak Heerenveen’s defense.
Bet: Twente -1.25 Asian handicap

Hannover vs Mainz betting tips 31 August Germany Bundesliga By Gustav

Hannover vs Mainz betting tips 31 August Germany Bundesliga: "Hannover has started encouraging into the new season with two victories at home, last one being over Schalke 2:1. Everything was much more smooth for them as Schalke stood with a player less since 14th minute when Howedes received a red card, with the home side getting a 2:0 lead before the half-time whistle."

Hannover has started encouraging into the new season with two victories at home, last one being over Schalke 2:1. Everything was much more smooth for them as Schalke stood with a player less since 14th minute when Howedes received a red card, with the home side getting a 2:0 lead before the half-time whistle.Each side stood with a one more player less in the second half, while the visitors reduced the deficit to a final 2:1 result. As said, it was their second home victory as they previously won over Wolfsburg 2:0, but suffered a 3:0 defeat in the mean time against Gladbach. Home side will be searching for all three points into this match, as they have a very good tradition at home against Mainz being unbeaten for a long time. Left back Christian Pander continued to be sidelined with an injury and his place will get Sebastien Pocognoli. Right defender Steven Cherundolo is also out injured, while important midfielder Szabolcs Huszti is suspended for today’s game.Mainz will try to get their fourth consecutive victory in the new season as they take on Hannover this Saturday evening. Last time when Mainz started so strongly into new championship was two years before when they ended up fifth at the table, earning a Europa League ticket, something that they are dreaming of this time.
Team is coming from a 2:0 victory over Wolfsburg at home in a match they used their chances properly and took the three points deservedly. Hosts played better in the second half, when they took the lead in 60th minute with a goal from Choupo-Moting, while the guests stood with a man less following exclusion of Gustavo four minutes later. Since then everything was easier for the home side which scored the second goal via Muller fourteen minutes before the full time whistle. Guests have no major problems for this game, as the only absentees are defender Julian Koch and winger Chinedu Ede who are unprepared for the new season.
Hannover have drawn their last three home matches against Mainz.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in eight of Hannover’s last nine games in the Bundesliga.
Both teams are coming of a good start in Bundesliga and there is no reason for either of them to change the way they play. Hannover will be attacking as always at home, while Mainz will surely try to continue their great streak with another victory, making the game very open with couple of goals in each net.
Bet: Over 2.5 goals 

Cardiff vs Everton betting tips 31 August Premier League By Neuro

Cardiff vs Everton betting tips 31 August Premier League: "Cardiff managed to build up on their great performance last weekend, as they managed to progress in the next stage of League Cup competition with a 2:0 victory over Accrington away from home on Wednesday night. Coach decided to rest his best players and used reserve squad that made a good performance in the second half getting the desired qualification."

As said, Cardiff made a great job winning last weekend over Manchester City 3:2 at home and will surely be entering the rest of the season with elevated psychology. First half-time was quite boring, without much chances on either sides, but visitors opened the scoreline with a goal from Dzeko in 52nd minute, however home side took advantage since than from almost every opportunity they had, as Campbell scored twice and Gunnarsson added another for a 3:1 lead. Negredo reduced the deficit in injury time, but that was all the visitors were able to do. Coach Mackay set the formation to defensive one, trying to play on counter attacks that payed of to him, while he asks the players for the same commitment as they hosts Everton this round. Striker Andreas Cornelius is struggling with injury and will be doubtful for the game, while the coach isn’t expected to change his lineup in comparison to Manchester City game.Everton didn’t show anything much positive in first two games as they came out with two draws against modest sides. Despite the fact they had possession and ball control, it seems the team still didn’t way their way to play efficient football. In the season opener against Norwich (2:2) they showed huge defensive gaps, while they showed inability in offensive part of the game in goalless draw against WBA.
In a midweek game they needed overtime in order to exclude Stevenage from the League Cup competition with a 2:1 overtime victory. As the start of the season haven’t been very positive for them, there is no other option for the Everton players but to try to get the victory against a newly promoted side. Central defender Antolin Alcaraz remains sidelined with an injury and won’t be able to fight in next two weeks, while central midfielder Darron Gibson shake of his injury but won’t be fit for the match against Cardiff. Right back Tony Hibbert overcome his injury and will be included into roster.
Everton have failed to win their last nine away matches in the Premiership.
Everton didn’t manage to get a regular victory in their first three official matches and it’s hard to see them getting the three pointer at Cardiff either. Home side is coming into the match with great psychology and won’t be a huge surprise in case they get another victory this weekend.
Bet: Cardiff +0.5 Asian handicap 

Evian vs Lyon betting tips 31 August 2013 French Ligue 1 By Sunshine

Evian vs Lyon betting tips 31 August 2013 French Ligue 1: "Looking at their results in first three rounds of French Championnat, Evian will probably once again have a really tough season, where staying out of the relegation battle won’t be reality for them. After three matches played, team has only one point, in a season opener draw against Sochaux, while they were defeated in matches against Marseille and Rennes."

In their previous match played last weekend, they had to chase the goal very early as they have been losing with a 0:2 result from 34th minute, but even so the players of Evian didn’t show much being only able to reduce the deficit to 1:2 in 49th minute. Their main concern still remains inefficiency, however the team showed some slight improvement in offensive part, in comparison to previous two matches that were a small even worse. Striker Kevin Berigaud (3/1) is expected to start the match after his great goal against Rennes, while the only absentee for this game will be offensive midfielder Nadjib Baouia who is still not ready for the new season.Lyon is coming from a defeat against Real Sociedad in the play-off round for Champions League group stage, as the team entered the match with a 2:0 deficit from the first leg already. They were willing to fight, but conceded the first goal in 67th minute scored by Vela, while the French side quit fighting since than at the Basques scored another one for the final 4:0 aggregate victory.
They will continue the European patch in Europa League group stage, but for now all their attention is turned to the domestic league only. Previous round saw them going down at home to Reims 0:1, as it was obvious that the players were influenced by the disappointment of the first leg loss against Sociedad. Coming back to domestic duties only, there is no doubt that the team wants a victory and start of the title race. Guests will be without Rachid Ghezzal, goalkeeper Remy Vercoutre, both still didn’t participate in the new season. Left back Mouhamadou Dabo is out with a thigh injury, while left midfielder Gael Danic continues to be out due groin injury.
Lyon is undefeated in last five matches against Evian.
Despite Evian’s inefficiency to convert chances into goals, Lyon lost their defensive stability and surely will experience problems taking all three points making both teams to score being the best bet in this one.
Bet: Both teams to score

Both Teams to Score Betting Tips Weekend Goals Galore Tips Predictions By Andrew Clark

Both Teams to Score Betting Tips Weekend Goals Galore Tips Predictions: "The football is back on Saturday and we have got a both teams to score tip form the 3pm kick-offs that pays over 7/1.

Both Teams to Score Tip

Norwich vs Southampton
Our first pick this week is from the Premier League and two sides that scored 11 goals between them in the League Cup this week. Norwich scored six at home and Southampton five away. Norwich’s first home match in the league this season ended 2-2 while Southampton have scored in both Premier League matches so far.
Middlesbrough vs Sheff Wed
Both sides have endured poor starts to the season but both teams scoring is a feature. All four of Sheffield Wednesday’s matches so far have seen both teams to score while three of Middlesbrough’s four have, including two at home and a home League Cup match.
Notts County vs Rotherham
County scored twice at Anfield on Tuesday night and score five in two before being shut out in their last home match. In four of their last five home league games both teams have scored. Rotherham have scored five goals in their opening two away matches in League One and can take advantage of Notts County’s poor home defence here.
Shrewsbury vs Coventry
Shrewsbury won 2-0 in their last home match and scored twice on the road last weekend but this selection is all about Coventry. So far they have been involved in matches finishing 3-2, 3-2, 5-4 and 4-4. Only Carlisle have failed to score against them and they are sitting second bottom of the league with one point.

Weekend Accumulator Tips for a Winning Football Coupon Prediction on Saturday By Adam Hunter

Weekend Accumulator Tips for a Winning Football Coupon Prediction on Saturday: "Thankfully we have a weekend of football to distract us from the repetitive boredom of the end of the transfer window and here is our Saturday treble betting tip."

Saturday Accumulator Tip

Huddersfield to beat Barnsley
At the widely available 7/4 I think Huddersfield are terrific value this weekend against a Barnsley side who have started awfully. Barnsley have conceded 12 goals in 4 league games as well as losing 5-1 to a second-string Southampton in the Capital One cup. Huddersfield on the other hand, have looked good so far this season and have a striker in red hot form in James Vaughan. They held their own in games against promotion chasing QPR and Nottingham Forest before winning at Millwall and thumping Bournemouth (5-1). 
Brighton to beat Millwall
Brighton are just starting to get into their stride with two wins and clean sheets in a row. They will be looking to build on last seasons impressive finish and also solid home form(3 defeats in 23). The squad is strong and they have goalscorers in Ulloa, Barnes and Mackail-Smith. The same can't be said for visitors Millwall, who have only scored in one league game so far this season and have yet to register a win. Brighton look firm favourites in this game and should win if playing anywhere near there best.
Peterborough To beat Crawley
Quite simply Peterborough have started the season on fire, winning all four of their league games, scoring 12 goals in the process before demolishing Reading 6-0 in the Capital One cup this week. They made an inspired signing in Britt Assombalonga from Watfod, who has formed a deadly partnership with Tyrone Barnett but also get goals from other areas. They face a Crawley team who have been very entertaining so far this season, they have scored 8 and conceded 9 in their 4 league games. Whilst they may be dangerous going forward it is difficult to see a defensive record like that being able to cope with Peterborough, this might be quite a high scoring affair.

Crystal Palace v Sunderland Prediction and Weekend Betting Tips By Lee Dooley

Crystal Palace v Sunderland Prediction and Weekend Betting Tips: "Saturdays evening kick-off sees Crystal Palace take on Sunderland, in a game that could have more significance later on in the season than most would believe."

Ian Holloway's Eagles know they need to get a win on the board sooner rather than later and I was impressed with their performance at Stoke last weekend.
Sunderland somehow managed a draw at Southampton when most pundits (myself included) had the Saints down as a home banker. The Black Cats also surprised me on Tuesday night by coming back from 0-2 down to MK Dons to take the match 4-2.
I still think Sunderland are going to struggle this season and I feel Palace can use the home crowd to their advantage here.To back either team in the outright market is a no go for me. The only play here is the draw at 12/5. 
I will however stick my neck out and back Sunderland +1 at 21/4 with 888sport, which is MASSIVELY overpriced. That is my bet of the week! As far as a correct score goes, I'm going for a 1-1 draw at 6/1.
Finally, as always, I look to the Anytime Scorer market for some value. I can't look past Marouane Chamakh for Palace at 5/2, he found his scoring boots again last weekend and with Black Cats defence leaking goals, it's a good shout at that price.
For Sunderland I'll be going with Connor Wickham anytime at 7/2, he notched up 2 goals in the Capital One Cup in midweek and I fancy him to hit one past the Palace defence.
Best of luck with any bets you have this weekend. I'll be back next week with more value bets.

Crystal Palace v Sunderland Betting Tips

Sunderland +1 @ 21/4
Correct Score 1-1 @ 6/1

Leeds United v QPR Betting Tips and Prediction with Match Preview By Lee Dooley

Leeds United v QPR Betting Tips and Prediction with Match Preview: "The Saturday Lunchtime kick off is Leeds v QPR as Elland Road and both teams find themselves at the right end of the table after getting off to promising starts."

After a last gasp victory here against Brighton on the opening day, Leeds have had a string of impressive result including beating a resolute Ipswich 2-1 at Portman Road and holding in form Leicester to a goalless draw on their own patch. Brian McDermott may only have a small squad at his disposal, but they seem to be playing for each other and producing results week in, week out.
QPR meanwhile disposed of Sheffield Wednesday on the 3rd August, triumphed over Bolton last weekend, but couldn’t get past Ipswich, drawing 1-1. Harry Redknapp has shipped out a fair few big earners and has the grizzliest midfield in the league with Karl Henry and Joey Barton patrolling the middle of the park.
The two teams are fairly evenly matched and out of the three results, I could see the draw at 12/5 being the preferable pick. A result which will no doubt please the away side more as a vociferous Yorkshire crowd isn’t always easy to play against.Whilst the goals haven’t exactly been flying in for either side since the start of the season, Andy Johnson’s goal could be a turning point for the striker who once scored 32 goals in one season for Crystal Palace. Ross McCormack scored a wonderful goal against Sheffield Wednesday and was also on target in the midweek cup victory over Doncaster, whilst Charlie Austin is bound to recapture his form from last season at some point and start notching goals left, right and centre.
Both Teams to Score at 4/6 looks a good bet and my pick of the aforementioned players would be the in-form Ross McCormack to score anytime 9/5 which looks a tremendous price.
Despite speculation from Middlesbrough and several rebuffed bids, the Scot seems happy with life in West Yorkshire and it could be a profitable season for him.

Man City vs Hull City Prediction, Betting Tips and Match Previews this Weekend By Warren Conway

Man City vs Hull City Prediction, Betting Tips and Match Previews this Weekend | That's a Goal: "This Saturday sees Premier League new boys Hull City travel to the Etihad to face Manchester City in the Lunch time kick off and we have football tips for the match."

Purely and simply I fear for Hull city here, we could be seeing another four goal haul or more for Man City.
Now I know Man City lost last weekend against fellow Premier League newcomers Cardiff, but I feel this only makes the job harder for Hull this weekend. It's still early in the season but Man City will not want to drop any more points especially at home and they will be like a wounded animal going into this game now.Hull had a great win last weekend against a new look Norwich side, even though they had to play over an hour with 10 men. They have made some decent signings throughout this summer and Steve Bruce will have them well drilled going into this. It's nothing against Hull but Man City are just a better team in all areas of the pitch and there is only one winner here.
The current match betting stands at Man City win 2/11 - Draw 38/5 - Hull City win 18/1. So clearly the bookies are of the same opinion. If there was ever such a thing as a home banker then this is it.
Now obviously there is no value in backing Man city to win here, but a couple of markets where I have found some value are - over 3.5 Match goals at 13/10 & Man City -2.5 Asian handicap 11/8.
I am also going to go for anther correct score bet here as there isn't much other value around this game. I am going to go for Man city having back to back 4-0 home wins.

FSV Frankfurt vs Gr Furth betting tips 30 August Germany 2.Bundesliga By Gustav

FSV Frankfurt vs Gr Furth betting tips 30 August Germany 2.Bundesliga: "FSV Frankfurt is coming from a 1:1 home draw against Union Berlin last weekend. The final result seems to be fair as both teams had their chances to score, while the game was full of tactics, with a lot of running, while both teams searched for other team’s mistakes in order to score a goal."

Still, even with only a point from a home match, FSV continued their good start of the season. After five rounds team has two victories, a draw and two losses, being at the middle of the table for now. They look similar to a team they were previous season, as the they only need a bit more balance in their home matches in order to achieve another safe season without any relegation worries. In front of tonight’s game, everyone wants a victory, trying to prove that they are a compact side, capable of beating the best in the league. Offensive midfielder Yelen will probably make his first appearance this season, while central defender Heubach still continues to be absent due, injury, with right back Huber (5/0) being doubtful.Greuther Furth, on the other side, is coming from a goalless draw at home against Koln previous weekend. They had good phases during the match, good pace overall, but had no solutions in front of stable defensive line of visitors, making the game generally pretty boring. The draw remains as a fair result overall, as the home side had no important chances during the ninety minutes.
Even though the draw isn’t a most positive outcome for Furth in this match, they continued the season unbeaten and it’s one of the things that matters for them. Still, with four victories and one draw, team is at the first position at the table and are already four points away from the closest followers. Their sole target this season is to return back to Bundesliga and three points tonight would enlarge their chances early in the season. Guests will be without main striker Djuricic (3/1) for the third consecutive match, while midfielder Tyrala is still unprepared for the new season. Striker Mudrinski (2/1) is coming back into the squad, while the club brought striker Fullkrug from Werder in order to increase the depth of the offensive part.
Greuther Furth are undefeated in their last nineteen matches in Bundesliga II.
Greuther Furth are undefeated in their last nine matches against FSV Frankfurt.
Frankfurt seems like a decently organized team, but nothing more than that. There is no doubt that the visitors will be much closer to get the victory today and in case they put up just a bit better performance than in comparison to previous one against Koln, they should take the three pointer tonight.
Bet: Gr Furth 0 Asian handicap 

Super Cup Predictions Betting Tips Bayern Munich vs Chelsea Best Bets By That's a Goal

Super Cup Predictions Betting Tips Bayern Munich vs Chelsea Best Bets: "The UEFA Super Cup takes place tonight when Bayern Munich face Chelsea and William Hill are running two specials for the match."

The Champions League winners Bayern Munich are favourites to lift the trophy at 4/9 with Chelsea 13/8.
This will be a re-run of the 2012 Champions League final which ended all square after 90 minutes before Chelsea somehow won the match on penalties thanks to Didier Drogba’s last ever kick of a ball for Chelsea.
On that occasion it was Thomas Muller who got the Bayern goal and he is subject to one of the offers for the Super Cup final tonight.
After Chelsea won the Europa League last season thanks to a late winner from Ivanovic secured a 2-1 win over Benfica. They shouldn’t be written off against Bayern Munich tonight, especially with Jose Mourinho back in the dugout to mastermind another first class tactical performance over Bayern Munich just like he did when he guided Inter Milan to Champions League victory over Bayern.
Instead of betting on either team to win the 90 minutes (Bayern 7/10, Chelsea 6/1) consider getting much better odds using one of the William Hill price boosts.
We like the first boost especially, Bayern Munich are understandable favourites to win the match and the way they destroyed the likes of Barcelona last season on their way to Champions League glory cannot be ignored. Muller scored a bag full of goals in Europe last season and he will get chances tonight playing just off Mandzukic.

Eskisehirspor vs Galatasaray betting tips 30 August Turkey Super Lig By Neuro

Eskisehirspor vs Galatasaray betting tips 30 August Turkey Super Lig: "Eskisehirspor got defeated in a previous round last weekend with a narrow 1:0 result away from home to Fenerbahce. They entered the game very well, it could be said that the visitors were in control of the match, but everything changed after a huge chance they missed, as the psychology of the team fell and the result of it was  a 1:0 defeat with a goal conceded in 53rd minute."

After a very good performance in the season opener when they defeated Bursaspor 2:0, the players of Eskisehir were brought down to earth with the latest defeat, while the biggest concern lies in a fact that they didn’t get a single point from a match they had control for the most of the game. Coach Saglam has said that he hopes the players and the team have learned their lesson, going into the second consecutive tough game, as they are facing against one of the strongest sides in the country traditionally. However, he said that the team has to play only for the victory in front of their own fans, regardless of the opponent. It seems that he will really try to beat the rival, as announced lineup consists of very aggressive players who should start with three attackers tonight. Only absentee for the home side will be defender Dede.Galatasaray, on the other side, is coming from a 1:1 draw away from home against Bursaspor last weekend. Their performance wasn’t at the best possible level, but with individual quality they managed to get the 1:0 lead in the first halftime, however they didn’t improve the level of performance in the second half either and had to pay the price with a equalizer.
Moreover, it could be said that they should be happy to escape from the defeat as the home side created several good chances later on. Their first match away from home didn’t go well, similar to the previous season when Galatasaray was losing lot’s of points away from home. It’s also something coach Terim was talking about, pointing out that the things didn’t change and that they will have to work on that. Till then, the team will have to rely on automation, as well as on individual quality. In any way, they are coming to get all three points, trying to find their way to a positive start early in the season. Defenders Riera and Nounekeu are sidelined from this match, same as midfielders Altintop and Kilic.
Eskisehirspor have seen under 2.5 goals in their last four matches against Galatasaray.
Galatasaray are undefeated in ten of their last eleven matches in Super Lig.
It will be a tight game for visitors, but they still remain slight favorites at least. Eskisehirspor can create them big problems and both to score bet seems like the most logical one as Galatasaray’s defense didn’t prove to be trust worthy, while they have more than great attacking lineup for the domestic league.
Bet: Both teams to score 

Weekend Football Betting TIps and West Ham v Stoke City Prediction By Lockup Tipster

Weekend Football Betting TIps and West Ham v Stoke City Prediction: "West Ham are terrific at home and at their current price of Evens to win the match they are too good to turn down against Stoke."

Why back a Stoke side, who have won just one of their last twelve games away in the premier league? Some may argue that five of those twelve saw them unbeaten, which may identify some value in the 12/5. West Ham however have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four premier league home games.
After a convincing 2-0 at home to Cardiff on match day one, they went on the road and took a point at Newcastle!
In our opinion, gaffer big Sam knows how and where to get results and his strategic plan for West Ham will be to win as many home games as possible and see every away game as being able to take at least a point from!
We have our spies watching West Ham and they say that the hammers will win at home this Saturday agreeing much with the strategic plan of big Sam!

Norwich v Southampton Bettting Tips and Weekend Football Predictions By Lockup Tipster

Norwich v Southampton Bettting Tips and Weekend Football Predictions: "Norwich entertain Southampton in a juicy mid table ability clash and Norwich have been overpriced in our opinion considering they are the home team in the match."

Southampton in our opinion are too short for this. Their last five Premier League games have seen under 2.5 goals and four of the last five of Norwich. Although Norwich has seen plenty of goals in their games, Southampton have lacked in the goal market away from home, especially with the stat that Southampton in the last six away have conceded just two!

Under 2.5 goals

Weekend Football Betting Tips Cardiff City v Everton Prediction and Free Tips By Lockup Tipster

Weekend Football Betting Tips Cardiff City v Everton Prediction and Free Tips: "Cardiff made a solid statement at home beating Manchester City, well against the odds and are still 23/10 to win at home, thus bookmakers seeing this as a fluke?"

No disrespect to Everton, but the 13/10 does not appeal, especially on the receipt of Cardiff taking out the title contenders. Everton will have seen their opponents in play and identified potential weaknesses in their play. Interestingly Cardiff have their first opportunity to win back to back wins in the top flight since 1962.
The season is still early on, and BetVictor goes 4/5 that both teams score and the same firm going just 8/13 with the home team getting a goal start. Retrospectively the 8/13 is rubbish value in respects of the draw and win prices well above 2/1 so avoid at all costs. Our recommendation will be for both teams to score, as Everton have been strong away from home and only narrowly lost to Chelsea in the last six games.
Everton will get their goal on receipt of what they learnt watching back Cardiff’s last home game performance. Cardiff will get a goal through the big support that show up, and if the home side are to survive the season, there home form will be pinnacle this season!

Cardiff v Everton Betting Tips

Both teams to score - 4/5 

Newcastle vs Fulham Betting Tips and Match Prediction for Saturday By Lockup Tipster

Newcastle vs Fulham Betting Tips and Match Prediction for Saturday: "Some worrying times at Newcastle at the moment with the team not gelling the way they could, and Fulham need to profit from this and get something here."

Newcastle have been shocking with just one shot on target in the Premier League this season. Fulham have won two successive away games in the Premier League and have not won three in a row since May 2008. Arsenal did show some class in winning last weekend, but with the troubles going on at toon, for Fulham to match their statistic of winning three away on the spin is tempting at 27/10, but with help of the draw is 8/11 with a goal start.

Newcastle v Fulham Betting Tips

Under 2.5 goals – 10/11

Weekend Football Accumulator Tips for Saturday 31st August Acca Tips By Alex

Weekend Football Accumulator Tips for Saturday 31st August Acca Tips | Accumulator Tip: "The season is now slowly creeping in to gear with tables and form guides starting to take shape. I’ve chosen five teams who look a real good shout for a win in this round of fixtures giving odds of just under 25/1 "

Saturday Accumulator Tip:

West Ham to beat Stoke Evens:
First up are West Ham who look a solid price to beat Stoke. West Ham started their campaign with a good 2-0 win over Cardiff, before following it up with an away point against Newcastle last time. Stoke lost at Anfield on the first day before coming from behind to beat Palace last weekend. West Ham’s home form was impressive last season losing just four matches and they look tight at the back. If they take the lead Stoke will find them hard to break down and their away form is usually very poor with just two wins last season. Two big physical sides will battle it out at Upton Park and West Ham should grab a win.
Peterborough v Crawley Town 8/13:
The odds may be short, but it’s hard to ignore Peterborough at the moment. The Posh have won all six matches at the start of the season, four in the league and two League Cup ties, including a 6-0 demolition of Championship side Reading in midweek. Crawley haven’t won since the opening day and have now lost their last two. With Peterborough scoring for fun and Crawley conceding at least two goals in each match this season, it could be a long afternoon for the Red Devils.
Oldham to beat Tranmere EVENS:
Oldham are a bit of an unfashionable side but should pick up three points this weekend. They’ve had a mixed start to the season with two wins and two defeats in the league but picked up a big 3-1 win over Port Vale last weekend. They take on Tranmere who are yet to win this season and were thumped for five by Peterborough last weekend. With Tranmere struggling and especially away where they’ve lost eight in a row, Oldham could pick up a second consecutive win at Boundary Park.
Exeter to beat York Evens:
Exeter’s home form should see them to three points against struggling York. Exeter have won both their home fixtures in League 2 so far this season and against a York team who haven’t won since the opening day and have lost both their away games so far this year, you have to fancy them to carry that on. Exeter could start to make St James’ Park a fortress this year and a win against York would go a long way to making it a feared place for any League Two team.
Oxford to beat Rochdale Evens:
Finally I fancy Oxford to prevail. The League Two leaders, drew last weekend and will be determined to get back to winning ways. Their ten points so far is good and three wins out of four shows their quality. Rochdale are yet to win this season and have lost both their away games in the league so far. Oxford are setting the pace in League Two and against a struggling Rochdale should carry on their good form. 

Bayern Munich v Chelsea Prediction and Betting Tips UEFA Super Cup By That's a Goal

Bayern Munich v Chelsea Prediction and Betting Tips UEFA Super Cup: "Bayern Munich and Chelsea face off in the UEFA Super Cup on Friday night and the bookies make Bayern the favourites in the latest betting."

The Super Cup once again pits together the Champions League winners and Europa League winners and this year’s meeting looks a mouth-watering clash as Jose Mourinho looks to plot a victory over the Champions League winners.
The bookies make Bayern Munich the 17/20 favourites, the draw is 13/5 and Chelsea are 7/2 to win in 90 minutes.
This meeting back in the 2012 Champions League final saw Chelsea win the match on penalties and Mourinho will certainly settle for that result again here. He has enjoyed his own success over Bayern Munich in the past, winning the Champions League final against them with his Inter Milan side.
Bayern Munich were held to a 1-1 draw at Freiburg on Tuesday night and they are yet to demolish any opponent, winning 3-1, 1-0 and 2-0 before that 1-1 draw. They are unlikely to score a hatful against Chelsea but are almost certain to score in the match.
Chelsea will also fancy their chances of at least scoring, when they played in this match last season they were beaten by Atletico Madrid when Falcao scored a memorable hat-trick but Chelsea will fancy their chance of at least getting on the scoresheet on Friday as Bayern Munich don’t look as assured at the back as they did last season.The meeting between the two sides in the Champions League final saw Bayern Munich dominate but Chelsea pinch a goal from a set piece to send the tie to extra time and this could be a similar story with Mourinho setting up to keep it tight and play on the counter attack.
For that reason we will be backing both teams to score and the match to finish in a draw after 90 minutes at 10/3.

Liberec vs Udinese betting tips 29 August Europa League By Sunshine

Liberec vs Udinese betting tips 29 August Europa League: "Liberec continued their excellent road in the new season with five consecutive victories in all competitions and a overall record of 9-1-0 in their last ten matches. Last victim of theirs was Bohemians, team that was defeated with a 1:0 result at home with a goal from Sural in 41st minute. After six rounds in the domestic league, club is only a point behind the two leaders, Viktoria Plzen and Sparta Prague, although they have one of the poorest attacks in the league with only seven goals scored till now."

The coach of the team said that his players remained humble and still respect a lot the Italian side and that nothing has changed although they have won the first leg with the result of 3:1. Added that Udinese still has a great quality, but the they are optimistic for their chances and that they only want to make another good performance, so they can celebrate the qualification in the end. Czech side has their right back Kusnir (5/0) suspended and will be replaced by Frydek. Remaining ten players are expected to be the same that have earned their 3:1 victory in the first leg.Udinese started their domestic league with a 2:1 defeat away to Lazio at “Olimpico” last weekend. They have a very poor first halftime where they conceded both goals, while the image has changed in the second half with coach making all three substitutes early, but the guests only manage to reduce the deficit for the final 2:1 result.
Having in mind that they lost the first leg of Europa League group play-off round, their start of the season couldn’t be much worse as the team is close to lose the qualifying match for one of the European Cups for the third consecutive season. Previously, they have lost the place in Champions League group stage due defeats against Arsenal and Braga, but will not try to overthrow the lead of the Czech side in order to stay in the Europa League. Coach Guidolin has said that the team will have to make a perfect match in order to get the qualification and that they have to have balance during the match. Only absentee is injured goalkeeper Brkis, while midfielder Pinzi overcame his injury and will be calculated normally for the squad.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in eight of Liberec’s last nine matches in Europa League.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Udinese’s last three matches in Europa League.
Liberec have scored at least two goals in their last three matches in Europa League.
Udinese wasn’t actually that poor in the first leg either, but still were defeated. Now, we should expect them going to fully attacking formation sooner or later, making the game with few goals in each sides, as anything else would mean Italian side losing the qualification without trying hard.

Barcelona v Atletico Madrid Prediction and Free Football Tips Today By That's a Goal

Barcelona v Atletico Madrid Prediction and Free Football Tips Today : "Barcelona and Atletico Madrid do battle in the Spanish Super Cup second leg on Wednesday and we have got free football betting tips for the clash."

The first leg in Madrid ended in a 1-1 draw which saw Neymar open his account for Barcelona and the hosts will once again be without Lionel Messi for the match. They could only manage a 1-0 victory at the weekend while Atletico smashed Rayo Vallecano 5-0.
Both the sides have maximum points from their opening two La Liga fixtures and this tie is also finely poised.
It was former Barcelona player David Villa who got Atletico Madrid’s goal last week and he is 7/2 to get his name on the scoresheet here.
If Messi doesn’t make it Neymar could get his chance from the start and he is 7/2 to net the first goal at Betfred and 10/11 to score anytime with Sky Bet.
Despite the match being finely balanced after the 1-1 draw last week bookmakers make Barcelona the strong favourites to get the job done in the 90 minutes back on home soil. They are a best price 4/11 to win the game, the draw is 9/2 and Atletico Madrid are 8/1.
The last three meetings between the sides at the Nou Camp have all resulted in a Barcelona victory in convincing fashion. They have won 4-1, 5-0 and 3-0 in that time and if their opening home La Liga match is anything to go by they could run riot again, however a lot will depend on Messi’s fitness.
Take a chance on a high scoring Barcelona win, especially if Messi starts the match. A 3-1 Barcelona win is 11/1, 4-1 is 18/1 and 3-2 is 22/1 with Sky Bet. Take a punt on the 3-2 scoreline and hope for some early goals!
