Southampton v Swansea Betting Tips Prediction Betting Preview By Adam Evans

Southampton v Swansea Betting Tips Prediction Betting Preview: " This Sunday lunchtime sees a fifth place Southampton host Michael Laudrup’s Swansea City at St Mary’s Stadium and we have got football tips for the match."

Going into this weekend’s fixtures, and as mentioned, Southampton lie in fifth place. They will be keen to keep their recent momentum going and will look at West Brom’s achievements last season for inspiration.

No wonder then that Mauricio Pochettino’s men are the clear favourites at 11/10. The draw comes in at 5/2 and is a bet I predict that will be snapped up by many a neutral punter.

Due to their commitments in this seasons Europa League, this match has been rescheduled to Sunday and could be one of the reasons, that Swansea are all the way out at 14/5 for an away win, which could well be worth a second look seeing as they are chasing their third away win on the trot.

For all Southampton’s early excitement into the season, including their now-famous win at Anfield, they actually currently hold the record for being involved in the lowest scoring matches as a whole (6 games). With only seven goals in six games so far this season, could Bony, Michu, and co cause them an early scare and score first. Michu has created more goal scoring chances (15) than any other player in the Premier League this season, all from open play according to Opta. He is certainly due a goal soon and I feel that he could grab one to silence the Saints early on here.

If you’ve read my previous previews then this next tip may come as a surprise to you, as it’s not something I would usually go for. Southampton are the team that have been given the fewest cards this season with their total coming in at 5 yellows and 0 red cards. In complete contrast and with the likes of Jonjo Shelvey in their ranks, Swansea have been the highest amount of yellow cards, their total being 15. That is three times more than their opponents! The Welsh club are 5/6 to pick up the first booking and I fully expect them to do so, probably within the first 30 minutes of play. It’s always nice to win a bet during the match and with Swansea looking to disrupt the inevitable early pressure from the home side this may be the best way to do so.

Southampton v Swansea Betting Tips

Michu to score first @ 13/2

Swansea to pick up the first yellow card @ 5/6

Norwich vs Chelsea betting tips 6 October Premier League By Isaiah

Norwich vs Chelsea betting tips 6 October Premier League: "Norwich is entering this game after a narrow and surprising victory over Stoke City away from home last weekend with a 1:0 result. The game itself was a pretty balanced one, with both teams have very little chances in front of the rival’s goalkeeper, while the visitors very lucky with a goal from Howson in 34th minute of the game."

However, they also stood well in the defense and didn’t let the home team to show their creativity and make dangerous situations in front of their goalkeeper. Victory came in the right moment for them, as the team was coming from back to back losses in Premier League against Aston Villa and Tottenham, without scored goal in those two. Now, after six rounds played, they are two points above the relegation zone while the only target for this season would be not to get into the relegation battle and get a salvation as soon as possible. Right midfielder Bennett remains to be sidelined, while central defender Bassong (3/0), left defender Garrido (5/0) and left midfielder Redmond (5/1) are all struggling to break into the starting lineup following their recovery from injuries.

Not only that Chelsea returned to the winning ways with a 4:0 victory on Tuesday night against Steaua in Champions League group stage, but team from London also returned back to impressive performances that will surely improve their morale in front of the domestic duties as the team way expects them in order to climb up at the table and take the position they belong to.

Victory in Bucharest was much needed as they lost the first round game against Basel and everything except the victory in Romania would make the things much worse in their locker room. However, their three pointer was never in doubt as the team outplayed the opponent with goals two goals from Ramires, one own goal from Steaua defender and Lampard’s goal. In any way, it seems that the Blues are getting back on track as they didn’t play that bad in previous weeks, having victories over Fulham and Swindon, but also a 1:1 draw on the road against Tottenham in last weekend’s game. Striker Torres (5/0) is suspended for this game, but also injured following his knee injury in a game against Steaua. Samuel Eto’o is expected to start in the attacking lineup, together with Hazard who missed the trip to Bucharesti due to ankle problem and might be now more fresh.

Chelsea have won seven of their last eight matches against Norwich.
Chelsea are undefeated in thirteen of their last fourteen matches in the Premier League.
Chelsea might have experienced a bit of a slippery start in the new season, but no doubt that the team will be performing better and better as the season progresses. They did well in previous weeks and are expected to continue with similar performances, getting away with the points from visiting Norwich.

Bet: Chelsea -0.75 Asian handicap

West Brom vs Arsenal betting tips 6 October Premier League By Neuro

West Brom vs Arsenal betting tips 6 October Premier League: "West Brom is coming from one of the most notable victories on the road in recent history of the club, as the team managed to overpower Manchester United at Old Trafford with a 2:1 result. Hosts from Manchester weren’t at their best, while the visitors took the lead with an early goal in the second part, while it seemed the points will stay in Manchester when the hosts equalized right before 60th minute."

However with another goal from visitors in 67th minute when Berahino scored, hosts stood without replay and couldn’t convert their chances into goals furthermore. Surprising victory over much favorited hosts will surely bring the morale boosted to the team, as their target remains staying in the league for this season. Currently, they are at 12th position with three points more than relegating placed West Ham. Before that game, they suffered a 1:2 defeat against Arsenal, today’s rival, after an overtime in the Capital One Cup, where both team used several fringe players. Midfielder Morrison and striker Anelka missed last weekend’s victory over United and are once against questionable. Left midfielder Sinclair (4/0), forward Vydra (2/0), attacking midfielder Gera (without participation this season), midfielder Brunt (2/0) and goalkeeper Foster (2/0) are all out due to various injuries.

Arsenal, on the other side, made a great step towards the qualification to the next phase of the Champions League as they won over Napoli 2:0 during the mid-week in the second round of group stage. It was their second victory in the Champions League, previously beating Marseille 2:1 on the road.

Perfect start in the Champions League is followed with a very good start in Premier League too, as the Gunners currently have 5-0-1 record in Premiership and are only a point below league leaders from Liverpool, side that has played one game more too. Arsenal players Cazorla and Wilshere could start the game, while Rosicky is finally fit and ready to play. However, their injury list is still longer than they would like to be, with Bacary Sagna (6/1) being sidelined with hamstring injury. Visitors remain without Oxlade-Chamberlain, Podolski, Sanogo and Walcott as already long term absences.

Arsenal have won their last eight away matches in the Premier League.
Arsenal are undefeated in their last six matches against West Brom.
Arsenal have scored at least two goals in their last three away matches in the Premier League.
After a 2:0 victory over Napoli, Gunners morale is very high at the moment and visiting West Brom shouldn’t be much of a problem as they already showed great performances away from home.

Bet: Arsenal Wins

Getafe vs Betis betting tips By Isaiah

Getafe vs Betis betting tips: "Getafe made a perfect game on the road last weekend when they visited Espanyol and made a great performance with many counter attacks winning that game finally with the score of 0:2. Colunga scored twice in last twenty minutes of the game, in a pretty equal game with both sides being restricted to cautious play and low number of chances during the game."

However, Getafe showed to be very dangerous on counter attacks, as they celebrated their second victory in a row, previously beating Celta Vigo with the 2:0 result at home. With two consecutive victories, they escaped from the bottom of the table and now have ten points, four more than relegated worried teams and are only two points away from the European tickets. All of  a sudden, the team transformed from relegation candidates to a in-form side and will surely want to build up on last two performances, getting  third victory in a row, this time to Betis. Player Miku has left the club moving to Qatar, while striker Marica has joined on a deal till the end of the season. Right defender Valera (4/0), left defender Escudero (4/0) and attacking midfielder Lafita (5/2) continue being sidelined with various injuries.

Betis, on the other hand, is coming from a 1:1 away draw against Rijeka in the Europa League group stage. Although the Spanish side was a favorite to get all three points, they couldn’t convert many chances they created into the goals, as the team had the upper hand during the whole game.

Situation got a bit complicated for them now, as they didn’t win either in the first round when they drew at home against Lyon. Anyway, getting back to the domestic duties, team will be looking for a positive result here, trying to get their third victory in the season. They are currently in the middle of the table with only two points away from the relegation battle, something that the club wants to avoid as fast as possible. They are coming into this game with elevated psychology, winning over Villarreal at home 1:0, ending their run without defeats from the start of the season. Attacking midfielders Ruben Castro (1/1), Vilarachao (no participation) and Juan Carlos (3/0).

Real Betis have failed to win their last seven away matches in La Liga.
Getafe have scored at least two goals in their last three home matches in La Liga.
Betis is coming with a elevated psychology here and will surely try to make many dangerous situation in front of Getafe’s goal, rival that remains slight favorite in this game. However, visitors will surely try to exploit their fast wings making the game much more open than the bookmakers rate it.

Bet: Over 2.5 goals

Bologna vs Verona betting tips 6 October Italian Serie A By DamirJ

Bologna vs Verona betting tips 6 October Italian Serie A: "Bologna is still searching for their first victory in the new season, as the team is coming from a quite a humiliating 5:0 defeat away against Roma last weekend. Much more superior hosts were already 3:0 up after twenty five minutes, sealing the victory with two goals added in the second part, while the visitors from Bologna never had a real respond into the game."

It was their third defeat in the season, as they previously lost to Napoli away from home and Torino at home, while the team also counts three defeats, record that nobody is satisfied with right now. They are at 18th position, having one point less than teams on safe positions, but also one point more than rock bottom placed Sassuolo, while the biggest problem remains their defense that conceded sixteen goals in six games. Coach Stefano Pioli will try to alter his squad once again, desperately trying to find the squad that will lead him to the first victory in the season. Central defender Cesare Natali (4/1) is suspended, with midfielder Michele Pazienza (4/0) being injured, same as forward Gimenez and defender Cherubin that didn’t participate from the start of the season.

Verona, on the other side, although a newly promoted side in the league, are having very more than decent start in the new season and while visiting Bologna, the team will be hoping to continue with the same form. They are coming from a 2:1 victory at home against Livorno, three pointer that led them to the upper part of the table.

Once again team of Verona showed that they don’t need many chances in order to score, as visitors from Livorno created more chances, but still couldn’t claim even a point against Verona that continued with strong home performances having a 3-0-0 record at home early in the season, previously defeating Milan and Sassuolo at home. Central defender Bianchetti is expected to start the game, replacing Moras (6/0), while the Greek defender will miss out due to injury. He will join forward Ragatzu (without participation this season) and midfielder Martinho (3/1) on the injury list.

Bologna have won their last four home matches against Verona.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in five of both team’s last six games in Serie A.
Bologna have failed to win their last eight home matches in Serie A.
Bologna will surely try to get the first victory here, but having in mind that they have big troubles scoring goals, it’s hard to see them getting the three pointer as Verona seems to be very dangerous on counter attacks and will surely know how to stay undefeated here.

Bet: Verona +0.5 Asian handicap

Wigan vs Blackburn betting tips 6 October 2013 Championship England Isaiah

Wigan vs Blackburn betting tips 6 October 2013 Championship England: "After a first round of Europa League group stage goalless draw against Zulte Waregem in Belgium, English Championship side Wigan continued with good performances defeated Maribor at home 3:1 in the second round of their group stage. With this victory, team is much closer to getting the first two spots as they are already three points above Zulte and are awaiting their returning game at home."

In any way, although their start in the Europa Laegue is almost perfect and surely more positive than expected, everyone in the club can’t be fully satisfied with how the things are going in the domestic league. After eight matches played, team has three victories, two draws and three defeats, being in the bottom part of the table with only eleven points earned. That’s way lower than expected, while play-off positions are already nine points above them – truth to be told, Wigan has played three matches less and there is still a lot of time for improvement. Going into this game, their target will be to win, but also they understand the game comes in a tough time as they are coming from a Europa League played on Thursday night.

Hosts continue performing without forward Holt (4/2) who is already out for weeks, while doubtful are defender Ramis (no participation yet), midfielder Maloney (5/3) and left defender Crainey (4/1).

Blackburn, on the other side, also started the season with much poorer results than they were hoping prior to start. Team is coming from a 1:0 narrow victory at home over Watford 1:0, on Tuesday night. Although visitors had much more of the ball possession, hosts were more concrete and have celebrated the victory with a goal from Rhodes in 65th minute.

It was their second victory in a row, as the team previously won away from home over Bournemouth 3:1 on last weekend. Blackburn is having 4-3-3 record in the new season and are currently placed at ninth position five points below the play-off zone, which should be their realistic target this season. Going into this game, attacking midfielder Rochina (1/0) is set to miss out again, while DJ Campbell is doubtful. Attacking midfielder Dunn (3/1) is questionable for this game, with Marshall taking care of his position.

Wigan have seen over 2.5 goals in six of their last seven home matches against Blackburn.
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Wigan’s last three games in Championship.
Both teams will have to earn more points in near future than they did till now, with the game being very closed this time. Wigan will aim to get the three pointer, but coming from a Europa League game, things won’t be any easy for them, especially when facing Blackburn that seems to be playing better and better in each next game.

Bet: Blackburn +0.5 Asian handicap

Bordeaux vs Sochaux betting tips 6 October Ligue 1 by Neuro

Bordeaux vs Sochaux betting tips 6 October Ligue 1: "Bordeaux continued to disappoint in the Europa League as the team lost their second round game at home against Maccabi Tel Aviv 1:2, being already in a very difficult situation. After two defeats in first two rounds, it seems that the team won’t be able to obtain a ticket for the further phase of Europa League and can now slowly turn their attention to domestic duties only."

Despite the fact that goal from Jussie in the third minute of repetition brought Bordeaux into a 1:0 lead, they were unable to maintain the lead and have conceded two goals in last twenty minutes of the game, going down to a very competitive and fighting team like Maccabi were on Thursday night. As for the domestic league, Bordeaux is currently on a five matches run without a victory, having overall seven matches without three pointer in all competitions. Poor form brought them to the 16th position, being actually tied up with Lorient, team that is on first relegating position now. Their target for this game is surely a three pointer, but the home side will have to do it without three important players as defensive midfielder Poko (6/0) and midfielders Sertic (2/1) and Faubert (2/0) are ruled out with injuries.

Sochaux, on the other side, is coming into this game from a 2:0 victory over Valenciennes last weekend at home. It was their first victory in the new season and it came in the right moment as the players are surely now feeling much more relaxed after it and will be looking to build up on that performance and bring a point when visiting out of form Bordeaux.

As said, first victory in the season for Sochaux came after their run of seven matches without victory, while the hosts used great start in the game netting two goals in 12th and 18th minute, while the guests from Valenciennes had much more of the ball possession till the rest of the game, but couldn’t convert their possession into real goalscoring chances. Eight rounds into the new season, Sochaux is second from the bottom with only one point earned away from home out of four matches and no doubt that they will be more than happy with a point earned from this game. Visitors have no fresh injury worries as they only miss left back Roussillon (1/0) and defensive midfielder Traore (didn’t participate yet in the new season), both already counted as long term absences.

Bordeaux have drawn their last 3 matches in Ligue 1.
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Bordeaux’s last four home games in Ligue 1.
Bordeaux are undefeated in twelve of their last thirteen matches against Sochaux in all competitions.
Even though Bordeaux is in terrible form at the moment, they still remain favorites against poor away from home Sochaux. However, the game isn’t expected to be open at all, with both teams having terrible problems scoring goals all season long.

Bet: Under 2.5 goals

Tottenham v West Ham Betting Tips and Predictions By Alex Peace

Tottenham v West Ham Betting Tips and Predictions: "In-Form Tottenham host a West Ham side struggling for goals in a London Derby this Sunday at 4PM"

Tottenham are currently 3rd in the table and are on a run of three games without defeat while West Ham are on a run of five games without a win following their opening day victory over Cardiff.

Tottenham’s great form is reflected in short odds against a struggling West Ham side but I do fancy them to win here against a West Ham side struggling for goals and form. To get the price up a bit, Spurs to win to nil is available at 6/4. All of Tottenham’s victories this season have seen them keep a clean sheet and West Ham are yet to score on the road this season, making this look an absolute banker.

Despite not having won a game away from home this season, West Ham have conceded just once. With Spurs managing a 1-0 win, 2-0 win and a 1-1 draw so far this season at White Hart Lane. With Spurs hardly battering teams and West Ham struggling for goals without Andy Carroll over 2.5 seems far too high at 11/10.

With these two tips together, I fancy West Ham to be quite stubborn Tottenham eventually to get through so Tottenham to win 1-0 for me at 7/1.
