Charlton comes after 3 goalless draws 0-0, last of them against Liverpool which can be considered a very good result.

04-03-06 Premiership Liverpool Charlton 0 - 0
25-02-06 Premiership Charlton Aston Villa 0 - 0
22-02-06 Premiership Newcastle Charlton 0 - 0

Though, they play today against the very good form team of Middlesborough, which crushed Roma at home 1-0, in UEFA Cup.

Middlesborough had good results lately, but they will be tired today after the hard game they had in UEFA Cup.

09-03-06 UEFA Cup Middlesbrough Roma 1 - 0
04-03-06 Premiership Middlesbrough Birmingham 1 - 0
26-02-06 Premiership West Bromwich Middlesbrough 0 - 2
23-02-06 UEFA Cup Middlesbrough Stuttgart 0 - 1
19-02-06 FA Cup Preston Middlesbrough 0 - 2

Both teams had a lot of unders lately, so today i will go for anothe Under.

The most important game for Betis this week, as they fight against Malaga in direct race for escaping relegation.

I do not see Malaga getting any point from Betis today.

05-03-06 Primera Division Malaga Valencia 0 - 0
25-02-06 Primera Division Atletico Malaga 5 - 0
19-02-06 Primera Division Malaga Mallorca 0 - 2
12-02-06 Primera Division Alaves Malaga 3 - 2

Betis got good results in UEFA Cup, managing to pass over AZ Alkmaar and getiing a draw away in Bucharest.

09-03-06 UEFA Cup Steaua Betis 0 - 0
05-03-06 Primera Division Getafe Betis 1 - 0
26-02-06 Primera Division Betis Real Sociedad 2 - 0

This game is so important for Betis, that they will do everything it takes here.

Since their away victory against Espanyol, Racing Santander made a lot of draws against poor teams, and didnt manage to get another solid good result.

05-03-06 Primera Division Racing Mallorca 0 - 0
26-02-06 Primera Division Alaves Racing 2 - 2
19-02-06 Primera Division Racing Athletic 0 - 1
12-02-06 Primera Division Espanyol Racing 0 - 2
05-02-06 Primera Division Racing Celta 0 - 1
28-01-06 Primera Division Cadiz Racing 1 - 1
22-01-06 Primera Division Racing Sevilla 2 - 3


Atletico Madrid on the other hand is flying high, killing along the way giants like Barcelona and destroying poor teams like malaga with 5-0:

04-03-06 Primera Division Real Madrid Atletico 2 - 1
25-02-06 Primera Division Atletico Malaga 5 - 0
19-02-06 Primera Division Getafe Atletico 0 - 3
12-02-06 Primera Division Atletico Real Sociedad 1 - 0
05-02-06 Primera Division Barcelona Atletico 1 - 3
28-01-06 Primera Division Atletico Deportivo 3 - 2
21-01-06 Primera Division Zaragoza Atletico 0 - 2

These odds are excellent so i am taking them full stakes

10 Zaragoza 26 8 12 6 36 - 35 1 36

meets

11 Getafe 26 9 7 10 34 - 33 1 34

Zaragoza had some shining results lately, including a 6-1 historical victory over Real Madrid, while Getafe got mixed results, but not too good.

05-03-06 Primera Division Real Sociedad Zaragoza 1 - 3
25-02-06 Primera Division Zaragoza Barcelona 0 - 2
19-02-06 Primera Division Deportivo Zaragoza 1 - 1
14-02-06 Copa del Rey Real Madrid Zaragoza 4 - 0
11-02-06 Primera Division Osasuna Zaragoza 1 - 1
08-02-06 Copa del Rey Zaragoza Real Madrid 6 - 1
05-02-06 Primera Division Zaragoza Betis 4 - 3

Getafe:

05-03-06 Primera Division Getafe Betis 1 - 0
26-02-06 Primera Division Valencia Getafe 1 - 1
19-02-06 Primera Division Getafe Atletico 0 - 3
12-02-06 Primera Division Mallorca Getafe 1 - 1
05-02-06 Primera Division Getafe Alaves 2 - 2
28-01-06 Primera Division Athletic Getafe 1 - 0

Zaragoza has the most opportunity to get a good result, and i am going to take this bet at full stakes.

Steaua comes after two dissapointing results at home in UEFA Cup, and their only win in the last 6 games was away, against poor Herenveen:

09-03-06 UEFA Cup Steaua Betis 0 - 0
23-02-06 UEFA Cup Steaua SC Heerenveen 0 - 1
15-02-06 UEFA Cup SC Heerenveen Steaua 1 - 3
15-12-05 UEFA Cup Hertha BSC Steaua 0 - 0
04-12-05 Divizia A Steaua Vaslui 2 - 2

Arges is a team is full of surprises, but it has Sorin Cartu a very very very good trainer, a true technician, and they will fight very hard in Bucharest, on a stadium where steaua didn't score yet a single goal.

03-12-05 Divizia A Bacau Arges 3 - 2
25-11-05 Divizia A Arges Poli Iasi 3 - 0
19-11-05 Divizia A Dinamo Bucharest Arges 1 - 2
04-11-05 Divizia A Arges Pandurii 0 - 1
29-10-05 Divizia A Otelul Arges 0 - 1
23-10-05 Divizia A Arges FCU Poli 1 - 1
15-10-05 Divizia A National Arges 0 - 1

So 1.78 for Arges +1.5 are a complete gift.
Take it while it lasts.

Shelbourne has big plans for the new season, while Bray Wanderers will most likely try to survive in the Premier Irish League.

The last encounters between those teams all ended in over 2.5 goals, so over 2.5 goals is a a really good bet:


Recent Head to Heads (H2H)
31/10/05 Shelbourne 5-0 Bray Wanderers O
22/07/05 Bray Wanderers 2-2 Shelbourne O
29/04/05 Shelbourne 4-1 Bray Wanderers O
24/01/03 Shelbourne 3-1 Bray Wanderers O
22/11/02 Bray Wanderers 1-2 Shelbourne O
05/08/02 Bray Wanderers 1-5 Shelbourne O


Good luck!

23-02-06 UEFA Cup Strasbourg Litex 0 - 0
18-02-06 Ligue 1 Toulouse Strasbourg 1 - 2
15-02-06 UEFA Cup Litex Strasbourg 0 - 2

Strasbourg is without their main attacker. All 4 games from the last round of UEFA Cup for these two teams were unders. And i expect a new under tonight.

Good luck!

Playing away from home, in european cups, Betis makes a pretty mixed impression, some good results mixed with bad results. But they scored only one goal away anyway, against poor Anderlecht.

Anderlecht (BEL) Betis (ESP) 0 - 1
Chelsea (ENG) Betis (ESP) 4 - 0
Liverpool (ENG) Betis (ESP) 0 - 0
Alkmaar AZ Betis Sevilla 2:0

While Steaua, playing at home, crushes almost every oponent by a big goal margin.

Steaua Bucharest Heerenveen 0:1
Steaua Bucharest Halmstad BK 3:0
Steaua Bucharest Lens 4:0
Steaua Bucharest Valerengen 3:1

The owner of Steaua wants the UEFA Cup final, and Betis is struggling relegation in Spanish Primera Division, so Steaua will fight 100% and get some good win at home tonight.

Odds are just marvellous.

Good luck!

Deportivo La Coruna plays very well away, last games away were:

26-02-06 Primera Division Osasuna Deportivo 1 - 2
12-02-06 Primera Division Betis Deportivo 0 - 1

and has the best away record after Barcelona.

Barca must concentrate with all their forces for the crucial game they have in Champions League against Chelsea, so they will not force tonight too much.

Deportivo away record:
12 7W 3D 2L 20 - 11
Only 2 lost games from 12 games.

Barcelona has still 8 points in front of Valencia, so if they do not get all 3 points tonight there will not be too much of a problem.

I am taking Deportivo la Coruna +1 full stakes, at 1.825 offered by BetInternet.

Real Madrid has a much more important match next week in Champions League against Arsenal when they will try a miracle and try to qualify for the next round of Champions League.

Atletico madrid is in a nice winning strike, and they are super-motivated for this game:

They crished everything, even Barcelona at their home ground:

25-02-06 Primera Division Atletico Malaga 5 - 0
19-02-06 Primera Division Getafe Atletico 0 - 3
12-02-06 Primera Division Atletico Real Sociedad 1 - 0
05-02-06 Primera Division Barcelona Atletico 1 - 3
28-01-06 Primera Division Atletico Deportivo 3 - 2
21-01-06 Primera Division Zaragoza Atletico 0 - 2

This 6 wins strike will try to be continued with a good result tonight against Real madrid.

Real Madrid got kicked of Copa del Rey and it is close to getting kicked off from Champions League, which will be extremely painful if it happens.

26-02-06 Primera Division Mallorca Real Madrid 2 - 1
21-02-06 UEFA Champions League Real Madrid Arsenal 0 - 1

Their last results make me choose Draw or Atletico madrid win tonight, and the odds are nice

Asia Nations Cup - Group E

Standings:
Team Total Won Draw Lost Goals Points
1. China 1 1 0 0 2 - 0 3
2. Singapore 1 1 0 0 2 - 0 3
3. Iraq 1 0 0 1 0 - 2 0
4. Palestine 1 0 0 1 0 - 2 0


First game from the tournament for Singapore ended 2-0, against Iraq:
22-02-06 Asian Cup Singapore - Iraq 2 - 0

Palestine lost with the same score that Singapore won, against China:
22-02-06 Asian Cup China - Palestine 2 - 0

Palestine has a young talented team, and they have big ambitions for the Asia Nations Cup. They wil fight a lot and they sure want to qualify from the group stage, so they will get a positive result today.

SIngapore has improved lately, but its attackers are not top of the top, so I do not see a high scoring game today.
