Flamengo vs Santos betting tips 12 September Brazil Serie A By Isaiah

Flamengo vs Santos betting tips 12 September Brazil Serie A: "Flamengo lost 1:0 away to Cruzeiro during the weekend, conceding a goal early in the second half without ability to react from then on. It was their third consecutive defeat away from home, as the team also has only one victory in their last six matches and are remaining very low at the standings, being tied with Atletico MG which is currently at relegating position."

Coach Mano Menezes admitted that Cruzeiro was much superior than them in previous game, saying that the result was a reality of their performances, while his team was unable to play well mostly because of the quality of their opponents. As he said, the team needs a lot of improvement and will have to work out much more in order to reach it, while they were also disappointed with their 4:0 defeat against Corinthians ten days ago. Atmosphere in the team isn’t the best one, as everyone understands the team isn’t playing well, but they are in a situation where they have to seek for immediate improvement. Hosts will miss goalkeeper Felipe (25/0), left back Ramon (4/0), left midfielder Andre Santos (9/0), while defender Chicao (12/1) comes back into the squad. Striker Marcelo Moreno (19/4) is also back in the team following his international duties with Bolivian national team.Santos is coming from another great victory, this time against Internacional away from home with the score of 1:2. They managed to score a goal in each half, and sealed the victory despite the fact their rivals reduced it later. They are looking way better in recent weeks and lose their matches very difficulty, having only three defeats in eighteen matches.

As it could be understood, the team is rising constantly at the table and are approaching the top for positions that will be leading to Copa Libertadores, although they have a game less played. They are currently at seventh position and having seven points less than fourth placed team, but in case of continuation of their good form, Copa Libertadores ticket might not be unrealistic. Coach Oliveira was pleased with the effort of his players, saying that their fans should be proud of them. However, added that the players have to look at each game separately and not be carried away with the talk about getting the first four positions. Midfielders Montillo (17/2), Arouca (13/0) and Alan Santos (15/0) are injured, same as offensive player Giva (11/3), while defender Edu Dracena (20/1) is suspended. Left back Eugenio Mena (9/0) is coming back in the team returning from national team of Chile.

Flamengo have seen under 2.5 goals in eight of their last nine matches against Santos.

Flamengo have kept a clean sheet in five of their last seven home matches against Santos.

Santos is surely in way better form than Flamengo, but that’s still not convincing enough to be a favorite away from home. Both teams are struggling to find their way to goal and it won’t be such a big surprise in case we see a goalless match or something very close to that.

Bet: Under 2.5 goals

Sundsvall vs Orgryte betting tips 12 September 2013 Sweden Superettan By Isaiah

Sundsvall vs Orgryte betting tips 12 September 2013 Sweden Superettan: "Sundsvall made a pretty good performance two weekends ago in away clash against Ostersund, but still not enough good to make something positive out of the game. They had two really good chances to take the lead in the first halftime, but at the beginning of the repetition Ostersund preceded with the goal while the guests couldn’t reply, with Ostersund scoring another one in last minute of the game."

The team isn’t in such a good form anymore and are now at third position with two points less than league leaders, but also with two matches in a row without a victory. After this defeat and a home draw against Angelholms, they will be looking to bounce back with a victory here, preferably an easy one. With two setbacks, break in the championship due international duties could have only been beneficial for them and the team have probably found the breaths they were missing. Defensive midfielder Kewin Walker (20/1) should be the only absentee for tonight’s game as he is suspended, while the attack should be led by Johan Eklund who scored twelve goals till now.Orgryte is coming from a 1:3 home defeat against Jonkopings as they had some good phases during the game, but still far away from good enough to take away at least a point. Guests took the lead in 33rd minute, but the home side reacted immediately and tied the score five minutes later. However, at the start of the second half their rate fell and guests achieved two more goals getting the victory in a relatively easy way.

They are having quite good performances lately, however despite some positive results they still remain in the zone of relegation to the third tier of Swedish football. In last five matches they have only one defeat, but three draws which are making their situation worse. Still, they are located only a point below the play-out position, the position that is their realistic target till the end of the season. Towards Sundsvall, they will be awaiting very difficult job, but are forced to search for a more positive result. Guests will miss suspended central defender Adam Rosen (15/0), but also injured central defender David Leinar (21/2), while right midfielder Sebastian Ohlsson (19/1) is also suspended for tonight’s game.

Sundsvall is much more aggressive and simply, better at home. Orgryte is completely other dimension and it’s hard to see them being competitive in this match for too long as they especially miss both of their crucial central defenders.

Bet: Sundsvall -1.25 Asian handicap 

Can Chelsea win the Premier League Title with Mourhino? Odds and Betting Tips By Scott Grindey

Can Chelsea win the Premier League Title with Mourhino? Odds and Betting Tips: "Given the new managerial appointments among the big clubs, next season's Premier League title race will be one of the most hotly contested in years and I personally cannot wait, but can Mourinho win it at Chelsea?"

Last season was disappointing, and in years to come will be remembered as Sir Alex Fergusons’s swansong, rather than for the football on display. One of the most fascinating aspects of this season is that last season’s top three all boast a change in manager – unprecedented in the history of the top flight. Whilst Manchester United and Manchester City have appointed managers largely untested at the very highest level in English football, Chelsea have welcomed back the self proclaimed ‘Special One’.

Mourinho’s first spell at the club turned out to be a trophy-laden period. Mourinho ended Chelsea’s 50-year wait for a league title in his first season, successfully defended the crown the following season and won two League Cups and an FA Cup. Now, nine years after he first arrived at Stamford Bridge, his initial press conference portrayed a more mature Mourinho, now 50, with an attitude that attempted to project a man at ease with the world.

Nevertheless Mourinho was surprisingly coy by his standards, stating that he does not believe that the Blues will win the Premier League title in 2013/14. He thinks that Chelsea will win their first title since 2010 in his second year in charge but only if they ‘move in the right direction’.

That right direction might be to replicate the sort of form from his first spell in charge, which reads: Played 185 Won 124 Drew 40 Lost 21 Win Percentage 67%. This record also included a 60-match unbeaten league run at Stamford Bridge.

These results give providence to a recent poll of football supporters from across the country which found that 52 per cent thought that Mourinho would outshine his new rivals. Furthermore, 34 per cent thought that Chelsea would win the league under his stewardship compared to just 28 per cent who thought Manchester United would retain their crown, and only 15 per cent who thought that Pellegrini’s men could lift the title.

My view and tip would be that the imposing presence of Mourinho back at Stamford Bridge will tip the scales their way - especially with new managers settling into daunting challenges at both Manchester clubs.

UEFA Champions League Outright Betting Tips By Alex Peace

UEFA Champions League Outright Betting Tips: "Next week sees the return of the UEFA Champions League and all the excitement that comes with it. The four English clubs involved will all have high hopes and here we will evaluate their chance of winning the title and the other main contenders:"

Bayern Munich are one of the current favorites and are top price 4/1. Last year’s winners have brought in even more quality in the summer with the arrivals of Thiago and Gotze and also one of the world’s top managers in the form of Guardiola. With the squad only getting stronger and a world class manager through the door, Munich should reach at least the Semi Finals and are a strong contender for the title.

Barcelona will always be on people’s lips when it comes to the Champions League and are top price 9/2 . It’s been a turbulent summer for the 2011 winners, with Villanova leaving as manager due to health issues and Martino coming in. The squad is still very much the same as the one that has brought so much success in recent years, with the addition of Neymar. They have made a good start to the season winning their opening three matches and should be involved until the latter stages.

Real Madrid have now been seeking a Champions League triumph for over a decade but the nine times winners should be in with a great shout this time around. Madrid are 11/2 with Ladbrokes and they have one key ingredient; a manager who has done it before. Ancelotti has two successes in the past with AC Milan and that experience could be vital. The squad is also full of quality with the likes of Isco and Bale now involved. With 100% record in the league at the time of writing and an experienced manager, things look good for Madrid.

The English clubs for me are too much in transition to stand a chance. Manchester City are available at 16/1, Manchester United 14/1 with Coral and Chelsea 10/1. With all three sides looking to have a collosal struggle in the league, they could fall by the way side and the squads simply aren’t as good as Bayern’s and the two Spanish giants.

For me, Real Madrid look really good. The quality in the side and the experience of Ancelotti looks like a great combination and they could end their drought.

League Two Betting Tips: The Best Three Bets This Season By Jack Critchley

Ante-Post Football Betting Tips League Two Predictions for This Season | Football Tips: "Last year in League Two we said farewell to Aldershot and Barnet, despite the best efforts of an enigmatic Dutchman but what will bet the best bets for the new season?"

Bradford’s success brought a little more exposure to the division and the spotlight may continue to shine with many fans and pundits checking on the progress of Portsmouth.
I thought Keith Hill was unlucky to lose his job at Barnsley last season, he had a very limited budget and his ‘Man in a pub’ quality meant you were always privy to an honest assessment of the game. Now he’s back where he made his name – Rochdale.

After a succession of poor managerial appointments, Dale reappointed the 44 year old to the post and the turnaround soon followed. They surely must be a decent bet for a Top 7 Finish.

They remained unbeaten at home since late February and impressive victories away at Exeter and Fleetwood in April won over the fans and saw them climb the table.

Matt Done has re-joined from Hills former club whilst Olly Lancashire and Ashley Eastham will be asked to add some much needed steel to the defence. Add to this, a crop of promising youngsters such as Joe Bunney and Scott Tanser and the Lancashire side should quietly climb up the division.

York’s first season back in the Football League appeared to be coming to a premature end, but manager Nigel Worthington steered them clear of trouble and they look a decent bet for a Top Half Finish.

Worthington is an astute boss and he may have been a little rusty when making the transition from International management, but he should significantly improve their finishing position this time around.

Matty Blair may have headed across the Pennines, but Ryan Jarvis and Craig Clay are two signings who might not set the world alight, but certainly know this division.

Ryan Bowman, Wes Fletcher and the unknown quantity of Estonian winger Sander Puri have also arrived at Bootham Crescent and if midfielder Michael Coulson can chip in with a few goals from midfield they should be capable of pushing up the table.

Financial woe continues to haunt the South West clubs in League Two and finally Plymouth look to have a fresh start. They look a decent bet to emerge as Top South West Team.

Their neighbours Exeter haven’t been able to secure the services of key players such as Jamie Cureton and Matt Oakley due to financial restrictions, whilst the Pilgrims are hardly cash rich, they certainly have the kind of stability they have craved for a number of seasons.

Marvin Morgan can be impressive and frustrating in equal measure and fans will be hoping it is the former as the ex-Shrewsbury man can be unplayable on his day.

He should combine with the sprightly Ruben Reid, on loan from Yeovil and the former Morecambe man Lewis Allessandra to create a potentially potent forward line.

Manager John Sheridan used the loan market to good effect last season and will be likely to do the same once more. He’ll be hoping Crystal Palace lend him Jason Banton, who had an impressive spell in the West Country last season.

A decent crop of youngsters and an experienced manager will see Plymouth steer well clear of trouble and probably Exeter too.

Rochdale to finish in the top 7 - 9/4

York to finish in the top half - 2/1

Plymouth to be the top South West team - 11/8

Premier League Winner/Top Goalscorer Double Tips for This Season By Stan Mulgrew

Today's Football Betting Tips for the Premier League Winner Next Season: "As always, this is a very tough market to predict, as the Premier League year on year always throws us a surprise player, or two, who consistently bangs in the goals."

Last year they were Christian Benteke and Michu from Aston Villa and Swansea respectively. We know for sure that Robin Van Persie is guaranteed goals year on year, with the teammates he has and obviously his own incredible ability to put the ball in the net, so he is in obvious option in this market.

I believe that as usual Robin Van Persie will score 20+ this season and with the possibility of a new world class midfielder in behind him it could almost be too easy for him this year. But, although I think RVP will score bags of goals, I don’t think David Moyes will win the Premier league in his first season at the Red Devils. I think that Jose Mourinho will be the manager that wins the league this season, in his first back at Chelsea. So taking all this into account, I think at 12/1 of Robin Van Persie top Goalscorer and Chelsea to win the league are great odds.

This I believe would be a safe bet, so I’m going to throw in a long shot with high odds for good measure, but also a possibility that it could happen. Daniel Sturridge joined Liverpool in January and in only 14 appearances with Liverpool he scored 10 goals which is a brilliant start to his career with the Reds. He has shown with Bolton, Chelsea and more recently Liverpool that he can scores goals in the Premier League. Don’t worry I’m not stupid enough to think Liverpool can actually win the Premier League, but I do think Daniel Sturridge will be up there for the Golden Boot come the end of the 2013/2014 season.

So like in the first bet I think Chelsea will win the Premier League and doubling that up with Daniel Sturridge to be the Top Goalscorer, we can get massive odds of 66/1. Obviously if you disagree with me on the Premier League champions you can change that and still get similar odds with the same player.

Premier League Relegation Betting Tips and Predictions for Next Season By Lee Dooley

Premier League Relegation Betting Tips and Predictions for Next Season: "It's time to look at the relegation battle again this week and it's a market that shows real value, Premier League relegation treble betting."

For obvious reasons the three newly promoted teams, Hull City, Cardiff City and Crystal Palace, top the betting odds at 11/1, but for me this isn't the bet to take on. If you refer to my previous post here you can read my thoughts on survival for the newly promoted trio.

That post see's Hull City as my tip to go down, which leaves just two more relegation threatened teams to put into the treble. The team with the most to worry about for the the 2013-14 season is Stoke City.

Mark Hughes has been drafted in to steady the ship and has already started by clearing a boatload of squad members, including Rory Delap, Carlo Nash, Jermaine Pennant, Matthew Upson and Dean Whitehead.

By releasing these fringe players he has no doubt freed up a lot of the wage budget. But transforming a whole squad in a few months isn't something Mark Hughes does well. Just ask QPR fans.

There's no doubt Hughes will aim to improve the Stoke City strike force, but remodeling will have to have an instant impact, as fans already seem to be unhappy with the appointment of Hughes, and that unhappiness could soon turn hostile should the result go against the Potters.

Stoke City go down for me and go down easy. They are my tip to finish rock bottom come May and that's 12/1.

Aston Villa now, and they will almost certainly have another tough season ahead of them. But the biggest worry for me is who they can keep hold of in the transfer window. It's clear now that Benteke will almost certainly leave Villa Park before the start of the 2013-14 season, and without his goals Villa will struggle. Of course, it all depends on who they can replace Benteke with, and for me The Villans will find it difficult to entice someone to Villa Park with the calibre to produce 23+ goals.

Looking at Aston Villa's pre-season signings and I'm struggling to find a reason why they're priced so high to be relegated. 8/1 for the drop is interesting enough to take on alone.

So, my treble for relegation includes, new boys Hull City and established Premier League sides Aston Villa and Stoke City and that is priced at an inviting 80/1.

Premier League Relegation Treble

Hull City, Aston Villa and Stoke City to be relegated - 80/1
