Soccer, Germany, 2. Bundesliga, Pick on 30.10.2006: Kaiserslautern vs. Freiburg

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 6:19 pm on Monday, October 30, 2006

Kaiserslautern is standing so high in the table (currently at the 3rd rank) and theY had an impressive home record (4-0-0; 11:3), but also in outfield games they have shown, in the last period, good confidence with the new cathegory (Kaiser were been relegate at the end of the last season) reached 1 away full post from the field of Munich 1860 (won by 1-0).

Freiburg, after the disappointed for the end of the past tournament, is standing so low in the table (14th place) and their away walk has been really very poor (0-2-2; 3:7).
They seem to stand, anyway, in good moment and surely they will climb the table do early, but I guess that Kaiser could be in full confidence, at the state, and I find very hard to stop them at thier ground.

Soccer, Sweden, Allsvenskan, Pick on 30.10.2006: GAIS vs. AIK

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 6:18 pm on Monday, October 30, 2006

There are really a few words to write: AIK is fighting so hard to win the Allsvenskan gold medal.

After yesterday plan (Elfsborg stopped on draw result) AIK has no alternatives than the full post today: the team of Stockolm suffered the pressure, in the last match, but I guess that now there's no time to fail and the walk of AIK, during the season was been very solid, even on the road (4-6-2; 16:12).
AIK has the best attck of Allsvenskan league (43 goals scored in 24 played), more the 2nd best defense of the league (behind only the leader Elfsborg).

GAIS (at home: 2-7-3) was been one of the team with a few numbers of lost games at home, that's could be a dangerous date, but even if they will play without any pressure, they haven't any finishing line to reach.

I guess that motivations of AIK will make the difference, watching for title race.

Soccer, Italy, Serie C1/B, Pick on 29.10.2006: Salernitana vs. Juve Stabia

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 1:50 pm on Sunday, October 29, 2006

This one will be one of the hottest regional derby of Serie C1: Salernitana is fighting to stand in the play-off group, while Juve Stabia, after the won game over Martina (by 3-0), in the postponed match of last weekend, are standing in perfect middle table (4 points under Salernitana).

Motivations very strong for the home side, always boosted from big hot crowd (almost 8.000 supporters) and to start with their offensive modul (4-3-3), keeping in attack line the central forward Ferraro, supported by Sestu and Mattioli; Soligo and Caracciolo should guarantee a good quality to the middle zone.

Juve Stabia have a team very solid, but to test under big pressure yet: they are collecting good results thanks to the good vein of Castaldo in attack zone; the rest of the team is composed by players used to be involved in these minor cathegories, so hard to face cause they always watch to take the best possible from all match.

I guess that Salernitana could find the right space to win this game: I wait for a match full of troubles, but even a narrow win can be reached considering the good potential of the home side.

Soccer, Italy, Serie C1/A, Pick on 29.10.2006: Monza vs. Sesto

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 1:49 pm on Sunday, October 29, 2006

Hard called for Monza after 2 matches without a win (1 point in last 2 played): the team, coached by Adriano Sonzogni, at the top of the Group must refind immediately the usual confidence and this match will present some difficult more for the closed football game of the opponents.

Monza will have some missed regulars in the middle, but the first line-up seems adeguate for the match anyway: Egbedi-Beretta will be the couple of attack; the veteran Coti with Espinal to give inventive to the middle line, while I'm real curious to watch for Giandomenico (ex talent many years ago in Primavera team of Juventus) to gest the team.

Pro Sesto is standing 5 points under the leader: in away (2-0-2) they played the typical counter attack game, counting over the experience of the striker Araboni (last year with Albinoleffe, in B).
To note that Pro Sesto scored just 1 goal, in away, in last 5 matches played (1-3-1; 1:2), collecting 3 home draw matches in a row (all by 0-0) and they won the last outfield match played in Padova against Cittadella (by 0-1).

This will be a regional derby too, but there isn't the same rivality so strong like the derby of southern Group.
Monza to search to beat the strong defense of Pro Sesto: this will be the principle thema of the match.

Soccer, Turkey, Super Lig, Pick on 29.10.2006: Ankaragucu vs. Erciyesspor

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 12:49 pm on Sunday, October 29, 2006

Last weekend I backed Ankaragucu against Konya and they made their first win in the league.So,why don`t go again for Ankaragucu,the opponent is much worse than Konya.Erciyes lays on the bottom of the table and have no chances IMO against in-form home team.

Soccer, England, Carling Cup, Pick on 25.10.2006: Liverpool vs. Reading

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 5:29 pm on Wednesday, October 25, 2006

Both teams suffered another black sunday in Premier league: Liverpool suffered another away lost match (against Manchester United by 2-0) confirming an unpredictable fragility on the road, while Reading collected the 2nd home defeated in a row (after Chelsea) from Arsenal (by 0-4).

The next round of Premier legue has big matter for both sides, so today Benitez will rest many regulars out of game (Gerrard, Finnan, Xabi Alonso, Hyyppia and Callagher on all), while Coppel, manager of Reading, will operate a turn-over too, in order to give more space to the second lines and to prepare the first XI for the next weekend match.

Considering that both sides will use young players and many men from bench, I prefer to give trust to the resources of the Reds.

Soccer, Italia, Serie A, Pick on 25.10.2006: Palermo vs. Messina

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 5:27 pm on Wednesday, October 25, 2006

Palermo will face the regional derby standing at the top of the table (equally points with Inter).

Palermo came out for a prodigious away win (against Milan by 2-0) where the sicilians have shown their best charateristics: strong defensive line and unbelievable chances to create chances to score with all the components of the middle line, remembering always for the dangerous couple of strikers Di Michele-Amauri.
Surely the home history of starting season show us such as Palermo suffered 9 goals, in 3 matches played, from teams no irresistible for sure, but also Palermo scored something like 11 goals in 3 games, becoming the strongest attack front of Serie A.
For the match probable turn-over for Diana (mid) and Biava (def): middle line composed by Simplicio-Bresciano-Guana-Corini; Di Michele (or even Brienza) to support Amauri in advanced line; Barzagli and Zaccardo both central defenders to cover the keeper Fontana (Agliardi still injuried).

Messina will recover the midfielders Coppola and Cordova (both stopped from 1 suspension round in the last sunday mach): Giordano wants to renforce the middle zone with 5 regulars in line, so Masiello to start to replace one pure forward (Di Napoli and Floccari both in bench), while the veteran Christian Riganò will be the only adavanced point.
In defensive line out of service (for 1 month due to injurie) the expert Mark Juliano.

Palermo has the morale state at the stars and Favorita stadium will be, another time, full of hot crowd to push rosanero to continue the road at the top of the table; Messina, by the other side, has shown to be solid, but also to suffer the total pressing that usually Palermo does: that explain at the best the choice to create a wall in the middle zone, but I guess that Palermo will have the patience and the experience to don't fall in the same mistakes of the last home match (lost from Atalanta by 2-3).

Soccer, Denmark, SAS Ligaen, Pick on 25.10.2006: Silkeborg vs. Viborg

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 5:25 pm on Wednesday, October 25, 2006

I choose this tough game as my Danish League pick. It looks very unpredictable, but on the other side, I see Silkeborg in slight upward trend while Viborg really dont have much to show lately.

In such games, home advantage is important. But we can reveal some shocking numbers: Silkeborg lost all 6 home games so far and Viborg lost 5 out of 6 aways, 4 on the trot! So, we actually have two teams that are terrible in position like this one!

One trend will stop here and I see Silkeborg as the better team. They are solid away from home and must be able to show improvment at home, too. They were near against Esbjerg ,where they lost at the end (1-2). Viborg was awful in last 4 games, losing three without scoring and winning the only one against- Vejle.

Level balls handicap looks fair bet here. I expect silkeborg to win this 2-1

Soccer, Slovenia, Slovenian Cup, Pick on 25.10.2006: Rudar vs. Koper

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 5:25 pm on Wednesday, October 25, 2006

Quarterfinals are on program in Slovenian Cup this midweek and this game really pops out.

There is a huge difference between these two teams, on one side we have poor second division team Rudar and on the other we have a team, that sdhould fight for the title in division one next season and have many "stars" in their team, under lead of in-form Croatian striker Zahora.

The difference between two leageus in Slovenia is big, Koper is by far the better team.

Soccer, England, Carling Cup, Pick on 24.10.2006: Chesterfield vs. West Ham

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 6:16 pm on Tuesday, October 24, 2006

After the last disappointed perfomances in away (lost by 1-0 against Tottenham) the Hammers are called to make an overturned trend to their season: they are standing in the bottom of the table in Premier league, just before the poor Charlton, with a record really good to be relegated (1-2-6); more West Ham lost the european opportunity (sent off from Palermo, in Uefa round preliminar, suffered 2 lost games).

This match will be valid for Carling Cup and it will be decided just in only round (so without return leg), the main problem of West Ham is to refind confidence with positive result (they lost the last 7 officially games played) and to find again the way to score (no goals scored in all this period).

Chesterfield is having a middle table season in First Division: their seasonal record is not excellent (5-3-7), but also they sent off manchester City, out of competition, in the precedent round.

The national Cup is a tournament always at high risk, considering too that West Ham will have some replacements in the first line up: anyway I want to give full trust to the Hammers, to coming up from this deep period.24.10.2006  20:45  Chesterfield - West Ham, West Ham @ 1.62 at Unibet

Snooker, Royal London Watches Grand Prix, Pick on 23.10.2006: Perry vs. Norman

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 11:59 am on Monday, October 23, 2006

Best bet of the day in my opinion. Great value in a player that surprised all. Norman managed two wins so far and is leading against Maguire, so with 3-0 he would only need one more win to qualify.

On the other side, Perry, a boring player, with very unspectacular game, plays average snooker (as always) and managed a win and a loss so far.

A player that managed to win over Junhui (Norman) must be able to win this, odds are just delicious!

GL!

Soccer, Bulgaria, A Grupa, Pick on 23.10.2006: Vihren vs. Varna

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 11:58 am on Monday, October 23, 2006

After changing the coach Vihren is showing very good form. They won 3 of their last 5 games, including 2 away wins. The only loss came from Liteks away, but they played very good and were close to take a point.

Spartak Vn is a newcomer in the league and at first look they are doing pretty good job, winning 9 points. Anyway I rate them among the weaker teams in the group together with Chernomorets and Rilski Sportist. Against those 2 teams they won 6 of their 9 points. The other win was against Slavia( in very bad form at that time, lost 5 games in a row).

All in one there is a class and form diference between those two teams and I expect nothing but HW, probably with 2 or 3 goals. No team news yet, since it's very early, but I expect the odds to drop big time until monday. GL
