Over, the top

O

k, the leader of the league

Arsenal-Chelsea over 2,5 goals at 1.80 Pinnacle Sports

against the "runner up". A boring match, filled with tension and fear? Not at all.

Arsenal and Chelsea's defenses are going bad, recently: take a look to the awful loss in Manchester (6-3) against City, for example, regarding the Gunners. Mourinho loves these games, but he rather prefers to love his defenders. By now his heart is broken. Let's try an over!

Health above all

C

rystal Palace and Newcastle are doing very well, in the

last month. The londoneers fought hard against Chelsea, a week ago; and they almost got a draw. The French Magpies

(Debuchy, Gouffran, Remy) have reached a good level of play, first of all at home. I think it will be an open match.

the last tip. Let's see Southampton and Tottenham: they are both surrending to a deep crisis. Ok, the Saints did not

expect such a good season, but what about the Spurs? They sacked Villas-Boas and now are looking for an identity. Not an easy match, not an easy period. For both teams. Maybe a draw will be the cure.

Torino awesome month

Torino - Chievo 1 at 1.877 Pinnacle Sports

I

t has been a great part of the season for the “granata” of Turin with 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 games.

Especially the last win against

Udinese, has brought confidence to the team and their fans that are waiting for a nice Christmas gift with a victory against Chievo Verona. The yellow blue team, has done quite well lately since changing their Coach and hiring Mr. Corini, but last round lost a game at home vs Sampdoria, and they might find this road game too hard for them.

New and old

T

he new is the coach of Sampdoria, that was hired just 4 weeks ago and was able to change the season for the

Sampdoria - Parma X at 3.27 Pinnacle Sports

“blucerchiati” with 3 wins and 2 draws. Now at home they can

continue the good streak but the old is the aptitude of teams coached by Donadoni to play well but tight and often happy with a draw. Parma is a small reality with good players and even this time a tie could be the right side to bet (7 out of 16 games tied this year for Parma). We go with that.

The right year

L

ast stop was a classic for Real that seams to always have problems against "Pamplona". It's however common for Ancelotti's team, to score at least 3 at Valencia. The home team has seen better days so for a strong side like Real,

far has not brought good results. The Segunda Division will get closer and closer if there is no turnaround. Almeria could be

the perfect opponent, but could does not guarantee a win and my opinion is toward a draw. Almeria does fairly away and I do not think is the right time yet for Betis.

Focus Bundes

D

efeats against bad teams are the worst because they bring up questions to a coach that has a certain project in his mind; often

that gets changed on the way because of this results. Leverkusen plays well and will meet Psg in the next round of Champions League.

W.Brema - Leverkusen 2 at 1,798 Pinnacle Sports

It's 2 months away so it's essential right now to win in Bundes. The team to beat is perfect: Werder Bremen, a team struggling.

Top Form

Big Match between Gladbach and Wolfsburg. Both teams are

Gladbach - Wolfsburg over 2,5 at 1,932 Pinnacle Sports

in top form with very good results. I do not trust the home side mainly because Wolfsburg on the road in their last 4 exit, they won

3 times. I think best bet in this game is the over 2,5 since the game promise to be exciting.

Extra home effort

puzzle, but Schalke on this field, has been beaten up three years in a row.

Stopping monster attack...almost

P

SG have the best attack in the worls, maybe not in numbers but for sure by names: Ibra and Cavani are a couple that seems

the one of a videogame. It’s not always a sure win but one of the two almost always scores. The 1.38 for the home win is very low and we are not going against that but we will try to take the stats in our side. Lille has one of the best defense in Europe, can they stop PSG? It seems for us a great chance to take Lille side with +1 and +1,5 goal.

Super Form!

S

eeking for Europe for next season, both teams are

Marsiglia - Bordeaux Bord + 0,5 1.90 Pinnacle Sports

competing for the fourth place on the table, the only one to enter Europa League. Maybe the Champions League was too

much to ask for Marsiglia and in the worst group they did not made one points. With that in the books, season could change especially because some sign of a better form they did show in the last games against Naples and Dortmund. Unfortunately they will meet a Bordeaux in a splendid moment recently with 4 wins in a row. I think it will be really tough for Marsiglia to beat their opponents but better taking +0.5 goal as a side.

ood moment for Reims that is 15 points clear of the

relegation and some of the fans are even dreaming for a higher run on the table. On the other side a real bad season for

the Ajaccio with an aweful 2 points in the last 10 games and stats do not help with the worst attack and worst difense. It seems home team is the only possible choice.
