Ajax v AC Milan Betting Preview Prediction Tips Tonight's Football Lockup Tipster

Ajax v AC Milan Betting Preview Prediction Tips Tonight's Football: "If we went back nearly 20 years ago, this would have been a battle of the giants! Ajax after failing to score in two of the last three games went out to win 6-0 domestically at the weekend and could be our football tip tonight."

AC Milan, bar the narrow loss to Napoli have avoided losing in the other five games. Ajax as mentioned won last weekend, but before this picked up just one win, and faced two back to back defeats.

AC Milan salvaged a narrow one goal win at the weekend and suspect this game will be kept tight in all respects. Over 2.5 goals struggles to get past 10/11 and both teams to score is skinny at 4/6. The Dutch league in general sees goals and thinks this will see goals.

We feel that goals will not come early, and Sportingbet offer a key market on the time of first goal in the first half and offer 13/5 for no goals in the first half. 11/19 of Ajax’s domestic goals have come in the second half, with fourteen of this occurring after the 30th minute. 7/11 of AC Milan’s goals have all come in the second half, making no goals for AC Milan in the first half a shade of value at 11/13.

Goals Galore Betting Tips Tonight Both Teams to Score Tips: "The Champions League and Championship give us a chance to get another Goals Galore betting tip winner tonight where we are looking for both teams to score."

Tuesday Both Teams to Score Tip

Basel v Schalke

Basel shocked Chelsea with a 2-1 win away from home on the opening day and both teams have scored in their last two home matches. Basel have also scored in their last seven Champions League home matches. Schalke have scored in six of their seven away matches this season and their last nine Champions League away matches with both teams scoring in eight of those games.

Blackburn v Watford

Blackburn were held 0-0 in their last home match but before that scored nine in their previous two at home and both teams have scored in five of their last six matches. Watford have scored 12 away goals in five matches this season but have conceded six in that time including a goal or more in their last four matches.

Birmingham v Millwall

Both sides have struggles this season but Millwall have found some form and should at least score again here tonight. Both teams have scored in four of Birmingham’s last five home matches. They have scored seven in their last two at home, but have conceded in both. Millwall have won their last three and have scored in their last four away, conceding in four of five away matches, only terrible Charlton failed to score.

Celtic vs Barcelona Prediction Betting Tips Tonight Champions League By Lockup Tipster

Celtic vs Barcelona Prediction Betting Tips Tonight Champions League: "We remember this very game last season seeing Celtic do the unthinkable and win at home. The atmosphere was electric and are 8/1 to do this again but can that be our Champions League tip?"

For Celtic to do the unthinkable, they have to get possession of the ball, and we all know how well Barcelona are able to keep the ball. We are seeing a weaker team than last season from Celtic, and despite the away side being without Messi in the side, they have still plenty of scoring power.

For both teams to score is as short as 4/6 and as big as 11/12 to score and odds against in the majority of firms for both teams not to score. Boylesports goes a bit more attractive in 6/5 minus one goal. A win to nil is BIG at 13/8 and are the same price with Coral to score three or more goals.

For Barcelona to score in both halves is 11/10, but are put off from the chance they may get the job done in either half only, so will avoid on this, although it will probably storm home. We for thatsagoal punters do have to give a relatively safe bet at a decent price and this is Barcelona, although in the event of complacency, we are taking the 11/12 price on the Asian handicap that Barcelona win with a -1.25 Asian handicap. IF Barcelona wins by one goal, you will receive half your stake back!

Arsenal vs Napoli betting tips 1 October 2013 Champions League By Neuro

Arsenal vs Napoli betting tips 1 October 2013 Champions League: "Arsenal added another victory to their great recent run, as they are coming from a 2:1 victory over Swansea away from home in sixth round of Premier League on Saturday evening. First half was pretty unpredictable with few good chances at each sides, but the result remain goalless. In the second half, Arsenal got much stronger into the game and got the double goal lead within four minutes in 58th and 62nd minute."

Despite a small shock suffered, Swansea was able to react, but only managed to reduce the score to 2:1 eight minutes before the final whistle as Arsenal defense were standing well on the pitch. With this victory added to their record, team now has 5-0-1 record and are alone at the top of the standings with two points more than Tottenham and Liverpool. No doubt that the season started well for them as the Gunners also recently progressed in the next round of Capital One Cup, but have also won in the Champions League opener away from home to Marseille 2:1. With a great opening of the season, the target is surely to reach the second phase of the Champions League and try to make something noteworthy in this competition.

Midfielders Cazorla (3/0) and Oxlade-Chamberlain (1/0) and strikers Podolski (2/2) and Sanogo (1/0) are already long term absentees, together with midfielder Abou Diaby who didn’t yet participate this season. Attacking midfielder Walcott (4/1) will once again be sidelined too, while Rosicky is back in training but not expected to start from the first minute. Wilshere on the other side is expected to recover in time.

Pinnacle Sports Unbeatable odds, very high limits, fast paymentsPinnacle Sports

Napoli, on the other side, is coming from a 2:0 victory on the road over Genoa with goals from Pandev in 14th and 25th minute, as the team remains with two points less from the top of the standings. It was a very easy victory for them, while coach Rafa Benitez rested couple of very important players for tonight’s game.

After the game he said that the rotation is the only way to go ahead and fulfill all club’s goals till the end of the season. He also added that the team is at 75% of what he expects to see from them, clearly saying that he expects a lot more from them. He also spoke of respect towards Arsenal, saying that Wenger is the best coach in Premier League and that his players must now manage the euphoria of good results, also to show their own character and strength. He also said that he will have to wait till the last minute and see if Raul Albiol and Higuain will play in tonight’s game. Unbeaten team from the start of the season will only miss out for sure right defender Christian Maggio (2/0) who has a knee problem, while the coach rested number of important players last weekend as said and the team should be fresh in general for tonight’s game.

Arsenal have won their last four matches in the Champions League, scoring at least two goals in every game.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in five of Napoli’s last six games in the Champions League.
Napoli have scored at least two goals in their five out of last six matches in the Champions League.
Football spectacle is expected as these two meet each other. Napoli will surely try to get the best possible result and won’t be defending as most of Italian sides would play, leading this game to a very open one where both teams should score some goals.

Bet: Over 2.5 goals

Porto vs Atletico Madrid betting tips 1 October 2013 Champions League By Isaiah

Porto vs Atletico Madrid betting tips 1 October 2013 Champions League: "Porto didn’t do many positive things on the field, but still managed to get a 1:0 victory at home over Guimaraes on Friday evening scoring from non-existent penalty in 51st minute. Goalscorer was Josue, but overall impression is that the home side would get the victory one way or another, even if no penalty was awarded early in the second half."

In any way, they continued good streak and now have 5-1-0 record in the domestic league being at the first position with two points more than second placed Sporting and what seems to be more important, they are five points above Benfica, team that was their main rival for the title in previous years. With a 1:0 victory over Austria Vienna in the first round of Champions League away from home, they have nothing to be negative about as the team made almost perfect start into the new season. In a group together with Atletico Madrid, Austria Vienna and Zenit, their expectation is to get the second phase of this competition and tonight’s game might be a crucial one in case of a victory, although the Portuguese side would surely not be disappointed with the draw either.

Home side has absolutely no worries in front of tonight’s game as Steven Defour returns to the team, while the coach is expected to name the same squad that played on Friday night against Guimaraes.

Atletico Madrid is coming from probably one of the most important victories in recent years for them, as the team managed to pull out a 1:0 victory away from home against Real Madrid in the last Primera round on Saturday night. With morale boosting victory, they will try to get as good as possible result in Portugal and make a step further towards qualification to the next stage in Champions League.

With a victory over Real Madrid, they managed to maintain the 100% start into the new season and now have 7-0-0 record in Primera being still tied together with Barcelona at the top of the standings. Things to be better, they have started the Champions League with a 3:1 home victory over Zenit, while the only negative thing in the new season remains their Super Cup finals against Barcelona where they lost the title with two draws and away goal rule. In any way, atmosphere can’t be better in the team that shows to be one of the strongest in Spain. Guests will be without injured attacking midfielder Adrian, while Diego Costa (7/8 in domestic competition) is suspended from tonight’s game. Other than that, coach Simeone has no things to worry about, while Leo Baptistao is expected to partner David Villa upfront.

There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Porto’s last 3 games in the Champions League.
Porto have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 matches against Atletico.
Both teams made a perfect start in the first round of Champions League and now have a chance to improve their chances of qualifying to the next phase even more. I expect a bit more open game than the bookmakers do, while both teams surely have enough offensive quality to score at least once during the game.

Bet: Over 2.25 goals

Steaua vs Chelsea betting tips 1 October 2013 Champions League Isaiah

Steaua vs Chelsea betting tips 1 October 2013 Champions League: "Steaua continued their good run in the domestic championship with a 3:0 victory last weekend at home over Poli Timisoara. It was another one sided game as the home side entered the match pretty strongly and sealed the victory already in the first half-time. In-form striker Piovaccari brought them into a 1:0 lead in 27th minute while the things got much easier as the visitors stood with a man less from 40th minute."

Excluded player and penalty awarded for Steaua got the home side into a 2:0 lead as Stanciu hit the goal, while Popa added the third one fourteen minutes before the full time whistle. With this victory behind their back, they have now 6-1-0 record in the Romanian league and are sharing the first position together with Astra and Petrolul. However, the only defeat they suffered into the new season was in the first round of Champions League as they visited Schalke and suffered a 3:0 loss. Despite the fact that they were competitive and equal opponent for the most of the game, they conceded three goals in last twenty five minutes and left the pitch empty handed. Now, will try to recover their chances in this group, as they remember the match against Chelsea few months ago when they won over them in the first leg of Europa League knock-out game.

Striker Nikolic and midfielder Chipciu are still sidelined with injuries and didn’t perform from the start of the season, while the Romanians actually have little to worry. Defensive midfielder Pintilii suffered injury during training session and is questionable for this game.


Chelsea didn’t make the best step into the new season and will surely be looking to improve that in Buchuresti tonight. They are coming from a 1:1 draw away from home against Tottenham in a local derby, as the team didn’t look very fluent once again and had to chase the lead of hosts from 19th minute.

With this draw, they have now 3-2-1 record in Premier League and are four points below Liverpool and Tottenham, while the primary target remains winning all the competitions possible. Having in mind their shocking start in Champions League, where they lost at home to Basel 1:2, despite the fact they were winning at halftime with a goal from Oscar in 45th, there is no doubt that Chelsea will give everything tonight to get back onto the winning path and secure three points. Every other result would bring them much closer of being out of the competition after first six rounds and therefore we should expect fully motivated English side. Attacking midfielder Hazard (6/0) didn’t travel to Romania after picking an injury in game against Spurs, while van Ginkel and Essien remain injured from weeks ago. Torres is expected to start at the top of attack since he is suspended in the Premier League.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Chelsea’s last seven games in the Champions League.
No doubt that Steaua can be competitive in this game, but odds of around 1.80 on Chelsea’s victory when the English side is in a must win situation is so big competition as Champions League is, can not be missed this time.

Bet: Chelsea Wins

Basel vs Schalke betting tips 1 October 2013 Champions League By Gustav

Basel vs Schalke betting tips 1 October 2013 Champions League: "Basel managed to make the biggest surprise in the first round of Champions League as they defeated Chelsea away from home with the score of 2:1. Surprise to be bigger, they were losing at the half-time with a goal conceded from Oscar just before the half-time whistle, but bounced back with two goals Salah and Streller in last twenty minutes of the game."

However, it must be said that Chelsea had a bit more of the play, but the Swiss side was very competitive during the whole game and have taken the three pointer, although it might be a bit more fair if the final result was a draw. In any way, they made a great surprise for their fans, but whole Europe too, as the team used good momentum and continued with two more victories in domestic league, while they made a 2:2 draw at home against Sion on Sunday evening, probably being already to this match in their heads. Now, surely their targets got much bigger and with a victory here they would be much more closer to the second phase of Champions League.

Central defender Fabian Schar (9/2 in domestic league) was forced to go off the pitch on Saturday evening, while his participation remains questionable for tonight’s game. In case he doesn’t recover in time, Argentinian Gaston Sauro will take his place. Otherwise, the team should be unchanged to the one that won over Chelsea two weeks ago with a 4-4-1-1 formation.


Schalke, on the other side, won convincingly over Steaua at home 3:0 in their first match of this season’s Champions League edition. Although the Romanian side remained quite competitive for the whole game, the Germans still got a valuable victory with three goals into the second half, scored by Uchida (67th minute), Boateng (78th) and Draxler in 85th minute of the match.

Even though the start in Champions League was a perfect one, team continued with unstable performances in Bundesliga having now 2-2-3 record and being only three points away from the relegation places. Although their performances in Bundesliga are making their atmosphere a bit heavy at the moment, no doubt that the team is awaiting this match eager to win and improve the morale in front of very important domestic duties too. Visitors will have once again plenty of players injured, as newest absentee is left defender Fuchs (3/0 in Bundesliga). Central defender Papadopoulos, midfielders Annan, Obasi are all long term absentee without participation this season, while striker Huntelaar (2/2) is also out for weeks. Furthermore, offensive midfielder Draxler (6/1) is doubtful for tonight’s game.

Basel have scored at least two goals in their last four matches in the Champions League.
Schalke are undefeated in ten of their last eleven matches in the Champions League.
Basel is playing very openly, especially at home while the German side has defensive problems from the start of the season. Swiss side, full of confidence will surely try to get the victory and will start attacking from the first minute, making the game very open in which both sides should have plenty of chances to score.

Bet: Over 2.5 goals

Birmingham vs Millwall betting tips 1 October English Championship By Neuro

Birmingham vs Millwall betting tips 1 October English Championship: "Just when it looked like Birmingham has finally found their right form and will start climbing up at the table, they have suffered 2:0 loss away to Reading on Saturday evening. However, it must be said that the visitors were very competitive during the whole game and could have earned much better result on some other day. Home side netted a goal in each half-time, although the game itself looked like quite equal during whole ninety minutes."

With this defeat, team from Birmingham have broke the mini-run of two consecutive victories (over Swansea in Capital One Cup 3:1 at home and over Sheffield Wednesday 4:1 in league, also in front of their own crowd). They have now only 2-1-6 record early in the season, form that nobody can be satisfied with as the team surely has individual quality to be placed in the first part of the table. This way, they are only three points away from the relegating placed and will surely be looking to get another victory when hosting modest Millwall. Right defender Eardley (5/0) and midfielder Packwood (without participation this season) are still sidelined with injuries, while midfielder Allan (3/0) remains questionable. Giant striker Zigic is pushing for a start after coming from bench on Saturday evening.


Millwall, on the other side, is coming from a 2:0 home victory over Leeds United last weekend, as they continued good form increasing run to three consecutive victories. The game itself was quite equal, while the home side showed to be much more efficient in the second half earning their victory with goals from Woolford and Malone in last twenty five minutes of the game.

With this victory, as said, they increased winning run to three matches, previous earned against Charlton and Blackpool as the team managed to erase their very poor start of the season and six early matches without a victory. Now, with a 3-2-4 record, the team is currently 16th at the table with six points less than relegating placed teams. Although with a good run behind their back and improved atmosphere in the team, they know that a draw would also be a positive result for them in tonight’s game. Central defender Beevers (8/0) will be out for next month, so Shittu is expected to start again. Striker McDonald (8/1) is doubtful for tonight’s game and Morison could be in the starting lineup in case McDonald doesn’t recover in time.

Birmingham are undefeated in their last ten matches against Millwall.
Millwall have won their last three matches in Championship
Seems that Birmingham is at least finding some good form in front of their own fans and will surely be looking to get the three pointer, while their defense remains quite vulnerable and visitors from Millwall will surely be able to make several dangerous chances in front of their goal.

Bet: Both teams to score

Brighton vs Sheffield Wednesday betting tips 1 October Championship By Neuro

Brighton vs Sheffield Wednesday betting tips 1 October Championship: "Brighton tried a lot in their previous game, mostly through ball possession, but weren’t creative much as they suffered 2:0 defeat away to Ipswich on Saturday evening. Hosts went much stronger into the game and scored two quick goals, both by McGoldrick as they had two goals lead already after twenty five minutes of the match."

As said, they tried during the game, but were limited to ball possession and couldn’t do much more in front of the opponents goal, staying without respond till the end of the match. This defeat broke their run of six matches without defeat, counting three victories and three defeats, as the team climbed up to the 12th position at the table. After two defeats at early start in Championship, they have improved the form and their performance, but will need a lot to achieve the target they set. For now, they want to get another home three pointer against one of the weakest sides early in the season. Midfielder Bridcutt and striker Mackail-Smith are both close to return, although they weren’t important part of the team till now, while striker and top scorer of the team Ulloa is set to return from suspension.


Sheffield Wednesday is showing to be one of the weakest sides early in the season, as the team earned only four points in first eight rounds and are still without a single victory. They are coming from a 0:1 defeat at home against Doncaster, in a game were both sides had their chances to claim three points, but the goal from visitors twenty minutes before the full time has decided a very tight game.

It was their second consecutive defeat as the team previous lost on the road against Birmingham 4:1, another side that didn’t show to be something special this Summer. After four consecutive draws, they are now back to the losing path, as the team currently stands tied at four points with bottom placed teams Bolton and Barnsley, with the difference that Sheffield has played one game less. Their target for this game is to remain unbeaten, as they would surely like to get a victory sooner than later and escape from the relegating positions. Central defender Gardner (5/0) and right back Floro (1/0) are both out injured.

There have been under 2.5 goals scored in six of Brighton’s last seven games in Championship.
Sheff Wed have failed to win their last eight matches in Championship.
Brighton has still a lot of to prove and surely have much better squad than their current position shows. They played well in previous home game against Bolton and are hot favorites to win against completely out of form Sheffield, team that should be lucky if they avoid relegation this season.

Bet: Brighton Wins
