Manchester United vs Stoke betting tips by Neuro

For the first time this season, Manchester United took their third consecutive victory last weekend as the team welcomed Hull City and crushed them with a 3:0 result. From the first till last minute, it was obvious that the players from Manchester were much better, simply outplayed opponent and had one of better performances this season.

Smalling, Rooney and van Persie scored their goals for a victory that pushed the team to fourth position as it now seems that obtaining a Champions League ticket might be reality for them, in case the team builds up on this result and continues with positive performances. Wayne Rooney and Jonny Evans are doubtful, but with every chance to be able to play. Angel Di Maria limped off against Hull and might not be risked here, while Falcao looks sure to start upfront after his great performance in the same game. Coach Louis van Gaal continues to be without Rafael, Daley Blind, Phil Jones and James Wilson, most of them counting as long term absentees.

Stoke City comes from a narrow 1:0 defeat away from home against Liverpool last weekend, even though the team defended well for the most of the game. Only goal was scored in 85th minute by Johnson, while the team actually shared impressions and no doubt that the draw would have been much more fairer result.

Even though their mid table position is fine at the moment, the club’s management would surely like to be more far from the relegation battle, as Stoke currently has only four points more than relegation worried sides. No doubt that they will try to get something here, but the tradition is not working for them at Old Trafford as they have lost quite easily all previous six meetings. Defensive midfielder Gleen Whelan (8/0) returned in previous match, but again picked up an injury and will sit out this one. Other defensive midfielder Steve Sidwell (6/0) also won’t play, as well as forward Peter Odemwingie, central defender Robert Huth and important offensive midfielder Victor Moses who are all injured.

It looks like Manchester United is slowly starting to look like a team and are playing more reliable football in recent
weeks. Stoke is far away from a force away from home and might easily lose their competitiveness during the match in
case one of United offensive players gets close to his full potential.
Bet: Manchester Utd -1.25

Swansea vs QPR betting tips by Neuro

Swansea was held to a 1:1 home draw last weekend against Crystal Palace, even though it looked like their players deserved something more out of the match. Both goals were scored in the first half, with hosts taking a lead in 15th minute by Bony, while the guests equalized in 25th minute from a penalty spot and a goal from Jedinak.

Even though they have only one victory in last four matches, team played quite well in all matches, as they previously lost narrowly away to Manchester City, winning at home over Arsenal and getting a draw against Everton. They are only two points behind the European positions, but having great 4-2-1 record at home, there is no doubt that their only target tonight will be getting the three pointer, easy or hard. Wayne Routledge made his return last weekend and now should retain his position. Jordi Amat continues to recover from injury, but will surely not be risked
here. Hosts also miss their central defender Federico Fernandez (7/0) who already counts as long term absentee.

QPR finally managed to make a positive result in a home match last weekend against Leicester celebrating a 3:2 victory. Both teams had many ups and downs in their performances, as the guests took the lead in fourth minute, but were the hosts responded well near the end of the first halftime with two goals.

Leicester equalized in 67th minute, but QPR scored their third via Austin several minutes later to get deserved victory which could have actually been even with a bigger margin. Despite the victory, they remain in the relegation zone, but now tied with safely placed Hull. Their biggest problem this season remain with away matches, having six defeats in as many matches and only two goals scored so far. Left back Yun Suk-Young (6/0) limped off in a game against Leicester and will miss here. Offensive midfielder Adel Taarabt (2/0) and defensive midfielders Sandro (8/0) and Alejandro Faurlin (2/0) are all sidelined with injuries.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Swansea won at home over Arsenal, are playing steadily well in recent games and shouldn’t blow this chance to get another home three pointer. QPR simply seems to weak away from home and even these odds look more than valuable having in mind their form.
Bet: Swansea Wins

Burnley vs Newcastle betting tips by Neuro

After two consecutive victories in Premier League and escape from the rock bottom position, Burnley only drew at home against Aston Villa with a 1:1 result last weekend. Cole brought the visiting side into 1:0 lead in 38th minute and it looked for a long time that the visitors will get all three points.

However, hosts upped their tempo in the last quarter and took a point thanks to penalty kick from Ings in 87th minute. Still, has to be said that if anyone would feel unsatisfied with the result – it should be guests who did more on the field and could have scored the second time on many occasions during the second half. Midfielder Matthew Taylor (3/0) and forward Sam Vokes are both sidelined through injury. Central defender Michael Duff (12/0) and defensive midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah (4/0) are both doubtful and it won’t be surprise if the coach decides not to risk them in this match.

After a run of six consecutive victories in all competitions, Newcastle suffered defeat last weekend when the team visited West Ham and surely showed their weakest performance in weeks – hence, were deservedly defeated. Only goal was scored by Cressewell in 56th minute.

Guests did have some good phases, but it was simply too little in comparison to their previous games, while they couldn’t push in last quarter, as one of their players – Sissoko got red carded in 76th minute. After this defeat, they slipped down to ninth position, but still having only three less than Champions League placed Manchester United. Bunch of players are once again out for them, as
they can’t count at suspended midfielder Moussa Sissoko (13/1) and defensive midfielder Jack Colback (13/0). Daryl
Janmaat, Massadio Haidara and Michael Williamson are all having injury problems, but have traveled with the squad. Obertan, de Jong, Aarons and Taylor remain long term absentees.

Once again, Newcastle missed bunch of players, but they made a great run without most of them playing. Burnley is on a nice run at the moment, but winning here would be too much for them right now. Draw can’t be excluded, but the visiting side surely has some more quality and experience.

Lorient vs Marseille Betting Tips by Neuro

Lorient surprised everyone with a 3:2 victory away from home against Toulouse last weekend, as the team undoubtely proved that they are in a very good period having won now two consecutive matches, previously defeating Lens with a narrow 1:0 result.

Victory over Toulouse came with three goals within five minutes early in the second half, but the team deserved all three points as they were much more concrete and lively for the whole match. Good mini run saw them climbing up to the 15th position and getting out of the relegation battle, as the team surely have improved their atmosphere inside the locker room. In tonight’s game, they want to repeat previous performances and show that these two results are not coincidence. Jordan Ayew is expected to start in attack against is former club. Hosts will be here without forward Valentin Lavigne (12/3) and attacking midfielder Yann Jouffre (9/0) both out injured. Coach Sylvan Ripoll will have few players doubtful, between them Mathieu Coutadeur, Alain Traore and Gilles Sunu, but all three are expected to recover on time.

Marseille, on the other hand, comes from a clearly professional 2:0 victory at home over Nantes last weekend. Thauvin and Fanni scored goals in the first halftime, while the home team had no big problems keeping the result, even though the tempo felt in the second half and Nantes was able to produce some solid attacks.

With this victory behind their backs, Marseille continued their title race with PSG, again having a point more than their most serious rival this season. After a great start away from home and a run of four victories and only one draw, team now experienced two recent defeats and will want to get back to winning ways, which comes now as a must thing in case they want to remain first. Visiting side won’t be able to count at striker Andrew Ayew (12/2) who is already missing for few weeks, while outside will also remain midfielder Romain Alessandrini (12/1) both injured. Coach Bielsa will surely respond here with attacking formation and his standard three man defense.

As always, Marseille will surely employ very attacking formation, while Lorient comes into this game with improved morale and having little to lose. Both teams prefer open style and we could see them scoring easily after the first halftime already.
Bet: Both teams to score

Nantes vs Toulouse Betting Tips by Neuro

Nantes couldn’t resist last weekend when they visited one of the most in-form sides Marseille and suffered quite easy 2:0 defeat. Hosts simply opened the game very well, took double lead already in the first halftime and even though visitors had some good phases, they kept the clean sheet with ease.

This was their second consecutive match without a goal scored, but the team still remains quite high at the table, having earned twenty four points so far being only three points away from Champions League positions. However, they have four consecutive draws at home and are surely looking to get a victory for once, breaking quite unimpressive streak. Coach Michel Der Zakarian might rotate his squad a little during the midweek, as Yacine Bammou (forward, 14/2) has a thigh problem, but should be able to recover on time. Central defender Koffi Djidji is long term absentee, but anyway hasn’t play a single minute this season.

After a very good start in the season, Toulouse seems to be entering very poor form at the moment as nothing seems to be working for them right now. Most recently, they suffered 2:3 home loss against Lorient, a game where many predicted they will obtain three points with ease.

It has to be said that the team conceded all three goals within five minutes, from 55th to 60th minute however it wasn’t only up to their poor period in five minutes, as the guests overall looked like more lively team and generally deserved the victory. As said, team is all kind of problems now, as the pressure rises from game to game, as they have only one victory and six defeats in last seven matches in all competitions. Team captain and central midfielder Abel Aguilar (13/0) will have to sit this one out due to suspension. Left back William Matheus (2/0) and midfielder Mihai Roman already count as long term absentees. Coach Alain Casanova will continue to stick to his 3-5-2 formation
despite many critics in recent weeks.

Even though neither of the teams are fully reliable at the moment, Nantes have to be given advantage this time. They are doing very well at home, while Toulouse goes nowhere with their form currently and simply can’t see them getting away with all three points, even though the draw can’t be excluded.
Bet: Nantes 0 Asian handicap
