Monaco got what they needed in midweek and more, with their defeat of Zenit earning them the #1 spot in their group and now they have a lot to look forward to in 2015. Ahead of that game I spoke about their approach and problems......
Very attractive looking game, not least because of the team news. But first, Marseille can go back to the top of the table with all three points and above hated rival PSG, which will make it all the sweeter, Bordeaux would go up to joint third with a win and just three points off the lead.
I do not pretend to win every day, or week, that would just be ridiculous and as I have told you many times, the only 100% sure thing and there is not much you can say that about in gambling, is that I will bet 600 + losers in 2014. What is almost as certain, is that the clubgowi newsletter service will make readers who follow it long term and bet all red type selections, somewhere between 100 and 300 times their unit stake over the 12 months. That is not "guaranteed", you will never hear me say that, but it is far and away the most likely thing to happen.
Some of you clubgowi free to view content hunters got a bit of a bonus yesterday , as I posted the Friday early newsletter on one of our little used blog pages at midday for "test" purposes and it is on this link if you want to take a look.
Marseille won 3-1, Troyes 3-0 and the "over" in Istres-Nimes was landed 4-2 (three goals inside 36 minutes), which made for another very good day.
Absolutely no love lost between these two clubs and this is far and away the hottest derby in French football. The hosts would love to win this, three points would take them up above the Parisians and into second place, but they just look a level below both PSG and Monaco and although most teams will come away pointless from Dortmund, the level and manner of the 3-0 midweek defeat and earlier home loss to Arsenal, is a clear indication of where they stand in the bigger European picture.
