Athletic Bilbao 1:4 Real Madrid
Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid
Spanish Primera Division, 2000 BST

The race for the Spanish Championship crown is hotting up. Three teams will fight it to the wire until the end. With Barcelona and Sevilla having won their fixtures today, the pressure is now on Les Merengues to keep up.
Athletic are just above the relegation zone. The Basque outfit is better when away from their Stadium, San Mames. While Real Madrid are the best away team in La Liga.

I bet 7000 units on Real Madrid, at 9/11.
Fiorentina 1:0 Chievo

Saturday, April 28, 2007

Torino 0:1 Milan
Fiorentina vs Chievo
Italian Serie A, 1900 BST

Viola is fierce at home. With Romanian star Adrian Mutu and Italian wonderkid Pazzini up front, they will try to go past Palermo and reach an European qualification spot.
8000 units on Fiorentina to win, at 1/2.
My general prediction rate is an audacious one:

CSM Ramnicu Valcea 0:0 "U" Cluj-Napoca
Chelsea 2:2 Blackburn
COME ON CHELSEA

Friday, April 27, 2007

CSM Ramnicu Valcea vs "U" Cluj
Romanian Liga II, 0900 BST

"U" is first in the league, eight points in front of their opponents. They are playing their best football when facing teams who attack. Goga will be the greatest threat for the hosts.
I bet 2000 units on "U" Cluj, at 2/1.
Torino vs Milan
Italian Serie A, 1700 BST

Milan have Ronaldo for the Serie A fixtures (he is ineligible in the UEFA Champions League) and they will cruise at the Stadio delle Alpi. Torino are in big trouble, just above the relegation zone. They are missing some important players: Bovo, Pancaro and Barone.
Milan to win this one, at 3/2.
Chelsea vs Bolton
English Premiership, 1245 BST

Chelsea face an injury plagued team. Robben is back for Chelsea, who will reach Manchester United in case of a win at the Bridge.
I bet 10000 units on Chelsea to win and 3000 units on the home side to keep a clean sheet.

Wednesday, April 25, 2007

These are the teams from Stamford Bridge:
Chelsea FC: Cech; Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole; Mikel, Makelele, Lampard; Joe Cole, Shevchenko & Drogba.
Liverpool FC: Reina; Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Riise; Gerrard, Mascherano, Xabi Alonso, Zenden;
Bellamy & Kuyt.
I bet 5000 units on Chelsea to win, at 6/5 and 3000 for Cech to keep a clean sheet, at 3/2.
Chelsea vs Liverpool
(UEFA Champions League Semifinal)
Tonight it's the first leg, at the Stamford Bridge in London. Two years ago Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0 on agregate at the same stage of the competition, with a controversial goal. With Chelsea going for the Quadruple this season, thanks to sensational players like Lampard, Drogba, Ballack, Terry, Joe Cole and Shevchenko, I am going to bet 10000 units on Chelsea to go through to the Final; evens.

Newcastle 0:0 Chelsea*
Newcastle vs Chelsea FC
(English Premiership, 1330 GMT)

Chelsea are really firing all cilynders at the moment. They should profit from the draw Manchester United have managed yesterday and cut the distance to just one point, with the tie-breaker programmed at the Stamford Bridge.
Newcastle have already lost both meetings with the Blues this season, both by the same score, 0-1.
They also miss their keeper, Shay Given.
Chelsea are at full strength.

I bet 10000 units on Chelsea to win this match, at 6/9;
and 5000 that the Blues keeper, Petr Cech, will manage a clean sheet, at 6/5.

Wednesday, April 18, 2007

Liverpool vs Middlesbrough
(English Premiership, 2000 GMT)

Liverpool must win in order to go back to third place. They have conceded just 5 goals at Anfield Road, which makes their defence the fiercest one. Boro have just one away win this season.
I bet 7000 units on Liverpool to win, at 1/2.
And 10000 units on Liverpool to keep a clean sheet (evens).


West Ham vs Chelsea
(English Premiership, 2000 GMT)

The home side are almost relegated, while Chelsea have to keep the pressure on United.
West Ham does miss some important players as Lucas Neill, Calum Davenport and Dean Ashton are out.

I bet 8000 units on Chelsea Football Club, at 3/5.

Sunday, April 15, 2007

Blackburn 1:2 Chelsea
Fiorentina 1:0 Siena
I bet 5000 units on Fiorentina to beat Siena by at least 2 goals.
Blackburn vs Chelsea FC
English FA Cup Semifinal, 1600 GMT
Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester

With United already qualified for the Final at Wembley, Jose Mourinho's troops have to be there 
and make a challenge. But first up comes Blackburn. Chelsea have no injury worries, while the 
Rovers do miss their influential captain Robbie Savage. Still they do have the quality to have a shot 
at the Blues. But with the likes of Drogba, Lampard, Ballack or Shevchenko, Jose Mourinho will triumph today. Chelsea are still in the hunt for a faboulous Quadruple.

I bet 10000 units on Chelsea going through to face Man United at the Wembley. The odds are 2/3.
Fiorentina vs Siena
Italian Serie A, 1400 GMT

Although the tension will be pushed to the wire because this one is the derby of Toscany, Fiorentina are great at home. Powerhouse forward Luca Toni will be leading the way, 
with Romanian superstar Adrian Mutu providing him with the assists.
The home side are in awe for European football come next season and they should beat Siena easily today.

I bet 10000 units on Fiorentina, at 2/5.

Bayern 0:2 Milan
Bayern Munich vs Milan
(Uefa Champions League Quarterfinal 2nd leg, 1945 GMT)

In the first leg, in Milan, it finished 2-2. Italian forward Alberto Gilardino is suspended so legend Pippo Inzaghi will come up, even if he is not 100% fit. Dida will be in goal for the guests as he tries to forget his performance from last week. Bayern will be without Sagnol for the season, but welcome back suspended duo Mark van Bommel and Oliver Kahn.
Bayern have already knocked out Inter and Real Madrid from this competition.

I bet 5000 units on Bayern to beat Milan, at 3/2.

Valencia 1-2 Chelsea

Tuesday, April 10, 2007

Valencia 1:2 Chelsea
Valencia vs Chelsea
(Uefa Champions League Ouarterfinal, 2nd leg, 1945 GMT)

Last week, in London, these two teams drew 1-1. Now Chelsea have to score and try to win in order to qualify. Morientes is back in action for the home side, while Michael Essien comes back for the Blues. With the sheer quality that Chelsea have, they can't lose the chance to go through, where they will meet Liverpool FC. Valencia managed to surpass Internazionalelast time around , but this time is much harder for them to keep a clean sheet against footballers like Frank Lampard, Andryi Shevchenko, Michael Ballack and Didier Drogba, who will most likely be Mourinho's best man tonight.
I bet 5000 units on Chelsea FC, at 9/5.

Saturday, April 07, 2007

Stiaua 2:4 DINAMO
Steaua vs Dinamo
(Romanian Liga 1, 1700 GMT)

Dinamo will win tonight Romania's most coveted football match.
I bet 1000 units on Dinamo, at 2/1.
Fiorentina 4:0 Ascoli *
Chelsea 1:0 Tottenham
Fiorentina vs Ascoli
(Italian Serie A, 1400 GMT)

The home side's aim is to qualify for Europe, while Ascoli is virtually relegated.
Mutu is back for Fiorentina, alongside Luca Toni.

I bet 10000 units on Fiorentina, at 1/3 and 2000 units on Frey to keep a clean sheet, at 5/4.

Chelsea vs Tottehnam
(English Premiership, 1245 GMT)

Chelsea will do everything to win this one. They need to push Man United all the way for the title.
Tottenham have Berbatov on the bench for the start of the match.
I bet 10000 units on Chelsea, at 3/5.

Alkmaar 0:0 Werder
AZ Alkmaar vs Werder Bremen
(UEFA Cup. 1945 GMT)

AZ are invincible at home in the European competitions. They are playing spectacular attacking football. Louis Van Gaal is their coach for two years now. AZ provides some players for the national
team. They beat Newcastle, last time, by 2-0.
Werder is not in good form. They are without Klasnic, Baumann, while Klose hasn't scored since late January. The Germans though are favourites for this one.

I bet 2000 units on Alkmaar, at 9/5.

Wednesday, April 04, 2007

Chelsea 1:1 Valencia
Chelsea vs Valencia
(Uefa Champions League, 1945 GMT)
Chelsea are unbeatable at home. The blues need to win in order to qualify for the next round. 30000 blue and white flags will be waved by fans all over Stamford Bridge to 
create a spectacular scene tonight. Chelsea will be at full strength, with Lampard, Drogba, Ballack 
and Terry trying to score. Valencia have some absentees in the likes of Morientes, Baraja, Javi 
Navarro and Carlos Marchena.
I bet 10000 units on Chelsea, at 4/5.
