Stoke, one loss in the last 8 matches, is eager to continue the streak. We jump on the wagon at 6/5!

Exciting times

PREMIER LEAGUE

Crystal Palace - Chelsea

Winning to keep hoping

C

helsea will have the most difficult match few weeks from now when they will meet Liverpool. Until then it is better not to loose any

more points especially when the blues encounter teams that are in the bottom half of the table. Price is not high, but Mou knows that in Champions weeks, there is danger and will focus his team for another win. Crystal Palace can wait another game to try to save themselves from relegation.

the match: Stoke-Hull City

Streak to continue

B

est moment of the season for Stoke, after collecting 10 points in the last four game, they meet Hull at home to

continue this amazing moment. Both team are safe, no

relegation possibilities, that makes this match a “normal� game and in that case we definitely favor the team that is more excited. What a run for the potters culminated, so far, with 4 goals against West Midlands rivals of Aston Villa. The Tigers are excited too, but the semifinal in the FA Cup could mean not to waste too much on this game. The Punt is on the home side.

The problem with the Tuscany team, is the defense and this week at home they must try to win. This will be the problem, Inter is much better against team that they do not just defend and we fancy them to win easily.

Celta Vigo-Seville

The hottest team

R

eal Madrid's title challenge unravelled on Wednesday night as they suffered backto-back defeats with a 2-1 loss

at Sevilla. Seville is the hottest team in la Liga, and now they want to keep the 4th position, the Champions zone! Celta Vigo with two defeats in a row is not a difficult team to beat. Seville will play next week in Europa League but i think that in this moment of the season Emery's team is unbeatable.good thing.aIt’s a “match point” for home team and the odds is great!

playing well in this period, Valverde’s team is not scoring a lot of goals but this match against Atletico Madrid is very important because Seville is unbeatable, and they have to keep the 4th position. Simeone’s team is always a big opponent, but the match against Barça in Champions is just around the corner, so it’s difficult for me to pick a winner. I fancy a match with a lot of goals!

ayer Leverkusen ended a nine-game winless streak to restore their three-point cushion over fourth-placed Wolfsburg with a 3-1 victory at Augsburg. Braunschweig

won an incredible match against Mainz, and i think that they will avoid relegation. Hyypia's team has not a good defense, instead Braunschweig's attack is hot!

the match: Hannover - Werder Bremen

Tough game

I

s not a good period for Hannover and Werder Bremen. Two losses in a row for both teams, with Hamburg and Freiburg that drew 1-1 in a relegation battle at the HSV-Arena with the

visitors understandably much happier with the result. Now there are five teams in 7 points so this is an important match, Hannover is better than Werder but i think that a draw is the best result.

big match is Lyon - St Etienne, that are the direct rivals for third position. Guingamp is in a safe position and i think that Lille has a great opportunity to consolidate the Champions League zone.
