- Cambuur have won 3 of their last 5 home matches.
- They have though lost 0-1 and 0-2 to 3rd and 4th.
- Only 4 wins all season suggests it's not a regular occurence.
- Cambuur have conceded in their last 9 matches.
- Only 1 0-0 for each side this season.
- Ajax have only lost 3 all season.
- 4 consecutive wins now either 3-0 or 4-0 sees Ajax back on form.
- Ajax are poor away from home BUT have recent won 0-4 and 0-3 against 15th and below ( where Cambuur reside). Those are Ajax's only away wins.
- Ajax have scored first in 5 of their 7 away matches.
- No 0-0's away for Ajax
- 7 clean sheets in their last 9 for Ajax
Profitable in play opportunities
- Ajax have suddenly put together a solid string of results, and away produced their first wins. Such impetus!
- Ajax have shut out teams of late - 7 clean sheets in their last 9.
- Cambuur are reasonable away from home but have conceded in their last 9 matches and lot 0-1 and 0-2 against 3rd and 4th
- Potential here for a win to nil if Ajax's defence dominates as it as. The fact that they are now winning away should help momentum and the battle with Vitesse at the top.

- With only 1 defeat in 12, Bordeaux are in great form.

- A potential win to nil for Bordeaux today. IF Valenciennes happen to score first, they can be layed.

130pm - Aston Villa v Manchester United - 1.75 away
Standout stats
- No head to heads of relevance given the massive managerial change for the away side.
- 8th up for grabs if United can win.
- This is 11th v 9th
- Aston Villa at home have lost to 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th. Significant?
- Aston Villa have only 1 loss in 8, last time out v Fulham.
- 0-2-2-0-2-0 scored in recent matches. Very inconsistent.
- Only 2 of Villa's last 9 matches were over 2.5 goals.

- United's only 2 defeats away have come against top 5.
- United have scored and conceded in all bar 1 away .
- 6 over 2.5 goals in 7 away matches for United.
Profitable in play opportunities

- Both teams could score today.
- 0-0 halftime score might not come in as Aston Villa have not scored in the first half.
- No Robin Van Persie for Man Utd could impact .
- Aston Villa at their best could score 2, but they have been mixing scoring 2 with scoring none recently.
130pm - Norwich v Swansea - 2.63 home and away
Standout stats
- the betting market cannot split these 2 teams
- Head to heads irrelevant as Norwich are new to the Premiership
- This is 15th v 10th but only 2 points separate,
- Norwich are unbeaten in 3 home matches and have won their last 2 home matches.
- They are rather inconsistent at home.2 losses, 3 wins, 2 draws at home.Against 8th-15th inclusive at home, they have only played 3 matches 1-0 win, 0-1 loss and 0-0.
- Norwich have won 3 of their last 5, losing away to Newcastle and Liverpool.
- Norwich have had only 1 0-0 before halftime in their last 12.
- Outside the top 7 Norwich have lost only 2 1-0.
- Norwich have scored 7 of their 8 home goals 2nd half.
- Swansea's away defeats have come without scoring so it seems Norwich need a 1-0 minumum today. Swansea have won 3 aways, v 16th and lower and play 15th today.
- Swansea have only lost 2 of their last 8, away to Cardiff and Manchester City.
- It's 50/50 who scores first today.
Profitable in play opportunities
- Good luck. When both teams are priced identically, that tells its own story. Scorelines? 1-0 home win, 0-1, 1-2 away wins seem to be the ones that resonate.
- Swansea are in the better form overall. Norwich are unbeaten in 3 home and have won their last 2 home matches.
- Norwich have had only 1 0-0 before halftime BUT Swansea are more regular halftime 0-0'ers.
- As the oddds suggest this is tough to call.
130pm - Standard Liege v Genk - 1.67 home
Standout stats
- Standard are unbeaten in 4 head to heads, keeping 3 clean sheets. 0-0 and 3-0 at home
- This is 1st v 5th in a tight head of the league.

- Genk have not had a draw in 10.

Profitable in play opportunities
- We have a home team keeping clean sheets v an away team who have not scored in 3 of 4 matches ( and lose them).
- Genk defeats away have been by 3/4 . Standard, on their day at home, could score 2 at least.
- Standard are unbeaten at home and nothing in Genk's recent form suggests threatening that record.
- Genk have scored in 6 of 8 aways.
- 2-1 correct score a goer today or will Genk concede more?
130pm - Feyenoord v Groningen - 1.33 home
Standout stats
- Feyenoord have won the last 3 home head to heads, but last 2 meetings were 2-2 and 2-1 ( 90th and 87th minute Feyenoord goals). This tightness is not reflected in 1.33 odds
- This is 4th v 6th and only 3 points separate. Not quite the gulf you'd expect from a 1.33 odds favourite.
- Feyenoord have lost only 1 of their last 7 home matches.
- Total goals at home have been impressive - 5-4-1-4-4-3-4-6 . Only once has there been less than 3 goals in total in a Feyenoord home match.
- Feyenoord have not played 2nd-6th inclusive at home , they lost 1-4 v 1st and 2-2 v 6th. Vulnerability?
- Feyenoord have scored and conceded in 7 of their last 9 matches.
- Feyenoord have failed to score in just one.
- Given all of the goals at home, laying 0-0 halftime score looks logical
- Feyenoord have scored in all home matches and scored 8 just before halftime and 5 just after.
- There have been no home halftime 0-0's for Feyenoord
- Groningen have conceded 5-2-4-3-2 against top 12 away this season, failing to win, BUT there have been 3 draws 2-2, 3-3, 2-2.
- Groningen have scored 13 2nd half away goals.
Profitable in play opportunities
- Goals anyone if you don't want to commit to a team. Over 4.5 goals for the more speculative.
- 0-0 halftime score lay looks good given the goal totals in Feyenoord matches.
- This should not be 0-0. Feyenoord have failed to score in just one.
130pm - Vitesse v NAC Breda - 1.25 home
Standout stats
- League leaders this year are looking good.
- Vitesse have won the last 3 head to heads 1-0, 3-0, 3-0.
- This is 2nd v 12th
- Having won by 3 goals in the last 2 head to heads, Vitesse have scored 3-2-1-3-3-3-6 in their recent league matches.
- Vitesse have only lost 1 home match and have scored 3 in the 4 home matches they have played against 8th, 9th, 13th and 17th
- Vitesse have scored in all matches.
- 86% over 2.5 goals at home for Vitesse.
- Vitesse are most lethal in the last 1/4 hour of each half at home.
- Not sure where a DRT will come from as Vitesse tend to score first, NAC tend to concede first away.
- Vitesse don't tend to do 0-0's at halftime
- NAC are vulnerable away to top 8 sides, conceding 5-4-3-4 in defeats.
- 12 of their last 14 matches have been over 2.5 goals.
- The better teams have an ability to score 4/5 goals against NAC. Will Vitesse improve upon the expected 3?
Profitable in play opportunities
- Look for a halftime score 0-0 lay.
- this should not be 0-0. If a tight first half, lay under 4.5 goals.
- This should be an over 2.5 goals match with relative ease.
- Vitesse I think can be backed if they concede first.
2pm - Fiorentina v Bologna - 1.4 home
Standout stats
- Fiorentina are another team I have followed this season.
- In recent head to heads it is advantage home side. Bologna won their last 2 home matches, Fiorentina won their last 2 home matches.
- This is 5th v 19th.
- 5 wins in their last 8 for Fiorentina.Their last 2 defeats were away.
- 3 consecutive home wins for Fiorentina scoring 2+ goals.
- Fiorentina have scored and conceded in all home matches. 2 2-1 wins against bottom 5 sides. Bologna could score today then.
- 3 of Fiorentina's 4 defeats were against top 4 sides .
- If Fiorentina score 2 goals they are guaranteed a draw at least this season.
- 8 of Fiorentina's last 11 matches were over 2.5 goals.
- Fiorentina are good for the 0-0 halftime score lat.
- Bologna have won only 3 this season.
- Bologna have lost 5-0 and 3-0 away to 2nd and 3rd
Profitable in play opportunities
- these 2 should not have a 0-0.
- Fiorentina don't tend to do 0-0's at halftime
- Fiorentina don't lose when scoring 2 goals and they have had 3 consecutive home wins scoring 2+
- Bologna have won only 3 this season and may score today as Fiorentina have scored and conceded in all home matches.
- If Bologna score you'd expect 2 from free scoring Fiorentina
2pm - Lazio v Livorno - 1.53 home
Standout stats
- No recent relevant head to heads
- This is 12th v 18th
- Only 1 win in 10 for Lazio suggests that Livorno must be playing with blindfolds if such an out of form side are 1.53 shots
- Recent form is poor for Lazio but when looked at , at home, they have only lost to 3rd and 8th.they have beaten 11th, 14th, 15th and 20th at home scoring 2 minimum.
- The recent Lazio poor run saw 5 away matches which explains that.
- Lazio's only 2 losses at home came in their last 2 matches.
- Lazio have scored 8 first half goals at home which suggests 0-0 halftime score lay could come into play
- Livorno have only 1 win in their last 12. They have 5 consecutive losses away from home.
- Livorno have failed to score in their last 4 away matches and in 3 of their last 4 matches.
- Livorno have kept only 3 clean sheets
- Livorno have not played 9th-14th inclusive away so we cannot gauge how they fare against teams near Lazio in the league.
Profitable in play opportunities
- Lazio are in poor form but that could be put down to 5 away matches. At home, they tend to beat lower half teams scoring 2+ in the process. They have lost 2 at home in last 2 but that was against top 10 sides.
- Livorno should not win and if ahead must be layed.
- Lazio score most home goals in the first half. Is that enough to lay 0-0 halftime score? I'm not sure. Yes they play weaker opposition but they have had 5 0-0's at halftime in a row apart from their last 2 matches.

230pm - Schalke v Freiburg - 1.4 home
Standout stats
- Both teams have scored in 5 of the last 6 head to heads.
- Head to heads are mixed between the 2 sides.
- This is 7th v 16th
- 4 wins in their last 6 head to heads sees Schalke in good form The last 3 wins saw 4-3-3 goals scored.
- Schalke have scored 4-3-1-2-3-3-3-1 so are consistently scoring and could cut loose with 3 against the right opponents.
- Schalke are yet to play bottom 4 at home but have scored 3+ against 8th, 10th, 13th ,. 14th at home
- 9 over 2.5 goals matches in their last 10 for Schalke.
- Schalke have scored and conceded in 8 of their last 10 matches, and remember they tend to do the same in head to heads.
- Schalke have failed to score in only 2 this season.
- Schalke have lost all of their matches , bar one, against top 5 sides.
- 86% over 2.5 goals at home is standout.
- Schalke have scored 6 goals in the last 1/4 hour of home matches.
- Interestingly it's 50/50 who scores first.
- Only 1 halftime 0-0 for Schalke all season plays 5 for Freiburg. Who will out?
- Only 2 wins for Freiburg this season, came away in last 3 matches and were against bottom 2.
- Losses v top 8 away ( and Schalke are 7th)
Profitable in play opportunities
- Schalke have not had a 0-0 at halftime but Freiburg have had 5 away. Schalke though are scoring 3 consistently and surely can expect 1 before halftime?
- Over 2.5 goals follows Schalke.
- Watch out for last minute goals in Schalke matches.
- Schalke should not lose this match and could well score 3+ today.
- Both teams could score ( head to heads and in 8 of their last 10 matches) so hope Freiburg score first.
315pm - Asteras Tripolis v Panionios - 1.22 home

Profitable in play opportunities
315pm - Kalloni v PAOK - 1.3 away
Standout stats
- A case of 0-0's for the big teams last weekend must end soon surely, particularly with Atromitos so strong last night.
- No head to heads
- This is 11th v 2nd. 8 point gap now for PAOK thanks to an Olympiakos slip up last weekend should give them hope.
- No draw for Kalloni this season.
- They have lost all home matches against top 5. Note 0-1 losses only to 1st and 3rd at home suggests a pre match 0-0 could pay off here as Kalloni offer stubborn resistance in defeat. 1.3 for PAOK suggests though they might score the 3/4 that 3rd and 4th scored in wins against Kalloni.
- 2 of Kalloni's 3 home wins were 1-0 so it will be a defensive masterclass to get something today.
- No 0-0 this season for Kalloni.
- PAOK have lost only 2 all season v 1st and 8th
- Only 2 draws for PAOK against bottom 4 sides.
- PAOK have kept 2 clean sheets.
- In all bar one win PAOK have scored 2+ goals
- Only 1 0-0 for PAOK this season.
Profitable in play opportunities
- Kalloni avoid draws and that of course includes a 0-0 so , in this typically Greek match, lay 0-0 as late as possible.
- PAOK had a 0-0 last match. Surely not again . They must take advantage of an Olympiakos 0-0 last weekend. Perhaps you can back 0-0 pre match if the odds are big enough.
- PAOK tend to score 2 minumum in wins.
- Which Kalloni turns up at home? The team losing in tight matches 0-1 to top 3 or the team spanked by 3/4 goals v the other top 5 sides at home? The odds suggest the latter but PAOK last weekend suggests the former?

4pm - Tottenham v Liverpool - 2.38 home
Standout stats
- Tottenham ( Spurs) have won their last 2 home head to heads. Both teams scored in the last 2 matches
- This is 7th v 5th with only 3 points between these 2.
- Spurs have lost only 4 this season. In all 4 they failed to score.
- Spurs have not beaten any of the top 6 home or away in all tight matches bar the anomolous 6-0 Man City away defeat.
- All Spurs wins have been 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 this season.It tells you what is in AVB's mind.
- Spurs have only won 1 of their last 5 home matches.
- What was with that 3-1 loss v Hull for Liverpool? One of only 3 Liverpool defeats this season.
- Liverpool have not won any of their last 4 away, conceding 2-2-3-3 I doubt Spurs can score 3 though for the first time this season.
- Liverpool concede those 2/3 goals away v top 10 sides and fail to beat top 10.
- Liverpool have only one 0-0 before halftime this season, thanks to strong home scoring and poor away defending.
- Liverpool have scored and conceded in 8 of their last 10 matches.
- No 0-0 this season for Liverpool.
Profitable in play opportunities
- Both teams struggle against top 8 sides. Liverpool conceded 2/3 away and Spurs have a 1-1 and a 0-1 loss v top 6.
- Spurs have not scored more than 2 this season. Lay them if they lead 2-0.
- No 0-0 this season for Liverpool. This might be 0-0 for a while you'd hope.
- Liverpool have the betting attacking unit against Spurs underperforming bunch
- Spurs have won only 1 of their last 5 home matches and Liverpool have not won any of their last 4 away, conceding 2-2-3-3 so these teams are in poor home and away form respectively, making for a poor betting medium.
4pm - Real Sociedad v Real Betis - 1.73 home
4pm - Lille v Bastia - 1.4 home
Standout stats
- Lille have won 2 home head to heads but there was a 0-0 last match.
- This is 3rd v 13th
- Lille have lost only 3 matches this season. They lost 1-0 in their last match.
- That ended a run of 11 consecutive clean sheets, with 5 1-0 wins in 7 matches.
- If Lille keep a clean sheet they tend to score too.
- Only away from home has this tactic failed with 3 0-0 results.
- Lille have only conceded in 1 match at home.
- 5 match winning run at home for Lille.
- Lille have not conceded 2nd half at home.
- Bastia have scored and conceded in 4 of their last 5 away matches.BUT
- Bastia have lost to 1st , 2nd and 4th without scoring.
- Bastia have not won an away match but of scoring a 1-1 might be realistic.
Profitable in play opportunities
- Will Lille revert to clean sheetery in this match? If so, then it follows that they will surely score ( they only do away 0-0's) and therein we have a win to nil.
- Bastia cannot score away to top 4 in defeats and meet another top 4 side today.
- This might be 0-0 for a while given the Lille propensity for clean sheets but don't fear. Lille seem to get the goal at least which ensures a win.

430pm - Bayer Leverkusen v Eintracht Frankfurt - 1.54 home
Standout stats
- Both teams have scored in 4 of the last 5 head to heads. Leverkusen have won the last 2 home head to heads 2-1 so this could be a well fought match today.
- This is 2nd v 15th. With Dortmund only drawing , Leverkusen must take advantage today and close the gap to 4 points to Bayern Munich
- Leverkusen have only 2 defeats, away to 7th and bottom
- At home Leverkusen have won all matches bar a 1-1 draw with Bayern.

- They have lost all matches, home and away v 6th and above, and have scored in 4 of the 5 defeats.
- Frankfurt have conceded in their last 10 matches.
- Leverkusen should dominate. Both teams might score today. Frankfurt tend to score in defeat to top teams.
- Leverkusen have scored in all matches so if a late 0-0 or 0-1, expect a goal.
- 0-0 halftime score can be layed.
- An ideal Leverkusen performance will see between 2-5 goals being scored.

530pm - Aris v Olympiakos - 1.21 away
Standout stats
- 17th v 1st should present Olympiakos with an ideal winning chance today
- Aris are competitive at home with 1-2, 2-3 and a 2-2 in their last 3 against Olympiakos.
- All wins bar a 0-0 for Oly this year.
- Aris have won only 2 this season, both away to bottom 5 sides.
- 2-0 losses seem to be Aris's norm v the top 5 so perhaps this won't be a spanking for Oly ( indeed head to heads relate that Aris are competitive at home when Oly visit)
- 4-6 goals is the absolute ideal a purring Olympiakos tend to score against the bottom 5 sides this season
- Oly have scored in their last 9, playing a home side who conceded in their last 6.
Profitable in play opportunities
- Highly unlikely to be a 0-0. At their best Olympiakos will score 4+ goals.
- At their worst, Olympiakos will manage 2 today and Aris may actually score as they tend to do in head to heads. A hope Aris score first.
- A team of Oly's calibre should be able to score before halftime, but a warning they were unable to do so last weekend.
- 10 clean sheets for Oly in 14 matches might bring in a 0-2, 0-4 scoreline.
530pm - Juventus v Sassuolo - 1.19 home
Standout stats
- Sassuolo stunned Napoli with a 1-1 draw and Napoli were shorter priced than Juventus are today.
- This is 1st v 17th. Sassuolo are in Seria A survival mode.
- Only 1 loss and 1 draw for Juventus this season sees them solid.
- 7 consecutive clean sheets and all wins bar 1 at home scoring 2+ for Juventus should see Sassuolo chasing shadows.

- Rio Ave have only scored 1 in losses to top 8 at home.
- Porto have lost their invincibility last 4 matches. Draw, Draw, Loss, Win last 4 matches.
- 1-1 draw and 1-0 loss last 2 aways is most unlike Porto and they come against 12th and 13th
- Porto have failed to score in only 1 this season.
- Porto have conceded in all bar 1 away this season
Profitable in play opportunities
- Porto must be thankful they are playing such a poor home side. Rio have trouble scoring in defeats to the top 8. Can Porto end a poor run of Draw and Loss away?
- Porto tend to concede away but Rio Ave don't tend to score at home.
- Likely a tight away win will suit Porto. If they concede ( unlikely) , Lay Rio Ave.
