PostHeaderIcon Real Madrid – Villarreal (Handicap 0:1) home win – 1.75

Real Madrid

PICK WON

Real Madrid need a win so they keep a race with Barcelona. Real never lost against Villarreal at home stadium, 3 times were draw and lots of time they win, 3 times they manage to win with handicap but that was 8 years ago. But this year Real Madrid is strong and they have 2+ goal margin wins at home on 46% which is very huge. Recent form presents that Real Madrid is in good shape if we don’t look at they performance against Lyon. Villarreal changed coach recently and are playing OK, but they are missing some key players for tonight and I doubt they will manage to fight back hungry and furious Real Madrid.

FC Hearts

PICK WON

When Hamilton visit Hearts its loosing, both of time they lost but last time they managed to score a goal so match finished as over. Hamilton on road rarely play over, 65% of time they play under. Hearts at home play 47% under. Most important facts are that Hearts in last 5 score only 3 goals and all 3 of them were in 1 match. Hamilton in last 5 score only 2 goals. That very few goals in recent form. But most important facts are that both of teams are missing they best scorers.

PostHeaderIcon Liverpool vs Man City Odds and Preview

Liverpool vs Manchester City

Location: City of Manchester Stadium, Manchester, England

Kick-Off: Sunday, February 21, 10:00 AM ET

Liverpool

The Reds’ bookmaker odds (bookmaker review) are hanging on by a thread, and it’s been their defense that is keeping Liverpool in the game. Liverpool has allowed just one goal in five matches ahead of their Europa League match against Unirea Urziceni of Romania on Wednesday, and Jamie Carragher has played much better after a shaky start to the season. The Reds haven’t had much luck up front with their attacking players, as Fernando Torres and Yossi Benayoun have been hurt, and Steven Gerrard hasn’t been quite himself this season. Strangely, Liverpool has been getting their goals from an unlikely source: Dirk Kuyt has scored four goals in his last five matches overall, and this bodes well for his chances of making the Dutch team in South Africa this summer.

Man City

This game with Liverpool interrupts a little series that Man City has with Stoke City right now, as they have drawn Stoke 1-1 in back-to-back games in the FA Cup and the Premiership. Man City’s high-priced defense hasn’t kept many clean sheets this year, and the duo of Kolo Toure and Jolean Lescott has had their problems as of late. Up front, Emmanuel Adebayor is still looking for a consistent strike partner, and you have to think that Carlos Tevez is the most likely candidate. Man City could also be without Patrick Vieira, who may be suspended after kicking out at a Stoke player.

Outlook and Pick

Man City are the home favorites in your sportsbook at +158, while Liverpool is listed at +203, and a draw comes in at +232. They haven’t had much success against the Reds lately, losing five and drawing four of their last 10 meetings against Liverpool, but they did manage a 2-2 draw at Anfield back in November. Man City has been brilliant at home this season with an unbeaten record of 9-3-0 so far, while Liverpool is 4-3-6 away from Anfield. Their major problem is an ability to score on the road, as just 12 of their 43 goals have come outside of Anfield. They need Gerrard to pull the team together, because they’re not going to go very far with Kuyt as their main attacking threat, no matter how well their defense is playing. Man City has a lot more depth than Liverpool, so they can deal with injuries and poor form better, and they have enough scoring options to snatch a couple of goals against Liverpool.

Bet on sports: Man City +158

PostHeaderIcon Bayern Munich v Fiorentina 0:1 home win – 2.10

Bayern Munchen

PICK LOST

Bayern is in great form, They didn’t lose a match since 3.11.2009 and since then they are destroying all opponents with 2 or more goals. Fiorentina is in bad shape, in last 5 they don’t have win and thats because they have many key players out. Most important missing player is they attacker Mutu and for todays match they be missing some key players in defense. On other side Bayern is full, Riberi and Roben are ready and I don’t know who will stop them. Up front Olic and 2 mega speedy flanks gives us 3 very fast players up front and I don’t know how Fiorentina can stop this.
