Football Betting Tips

We were four from six yesterday, including landing our only "very strong" (1.75 unit) bet of the week, at odds of 2.07, they were 3-0 up inside 53 minutes and as we backed them with a handicap start, there were few anxious moments. This was only the second "very strong" selection of October, the other also won (3-0) at odds of 1.95.

Norway are way down in 4th place in Group E, but are only two points off second spot and still have matters in their own hands, if they beat third placed Slovenia today and Iceland on Tuesday, they will be second.... simple. Things are often so much easier when they are cut and dry like that, drop points today and they are very likely to be eliminated. Of course, Slovenia have eveything to play for too, but have looked vunerable at home on occasion, like many teams in this group, with the three front contenders for the runner up spot having each lost two of their four home starts.

Rapids did us a big favour with that 5-1 demolition of Seattle Sounders on Saturday, ahead of which I wrote ..."You know that I am a Seattle "fan" and have tipped them up as likely Supporters Shield winners for many weeks and I have been on the money there, but I feel they might lose this evening. They have two games in hand of many teams and they might just be more focused on two big West Coast match ups over the next seven days against Vancouver and Portland.

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.
