Championship Playoff: Watford-Crystal Palace

Firstly, many of us are on Watford for promotion at big odds, personally I have 1.5 units at 13.9 and am placing 4.5 units on Crystal Palace @ 2.20 +, there is a fairly low limit market available on this with Ibramarket, who currently offer @ 2.33 (it has been higher). This will win me circa 15 units on Watford, or 4.5 + with Palace, this has nothing to do with how I view the game, I am just tying up a little profit.

Preview written Thursday May 16th

Most of us are on City to win this, on May 1st I wrote a League 2 playoff preview ....

Wednesday May 15th

The two AFC matches have already been played, Guangzhou won 2-1 and Reysol 2-0 .

AFC Champions League:Central Coast Mariners-Guangzhou Evergrande

The final Champions League place now looks to be a straight race between Valencia and Real Sociedad and Los Che can go above Real and put huge pressure on them ahead of their midweek match with relegation haunted Granada, by winning this lunchtime kick off.

Ligue 1:Sochaux-Lorient

We discussed Sochaux ahead of their recent home match with Bordeaux ....

This is a match the hosts dare not lose, they are just one one point above the drop zone, with the teams either side of them in the table playing each other today and with Les Lionceaux facing a daunting trip to Lille on Friday.

Championship:

All these matches start at 12.45 UK time. All five previews written at 09.00 today.

 A hugely busy week ahead, which includes two J-League rounds and AFC Champions League, there are 13 emails scheduled for the next 7 days and some odd sending times, all of which are detailed below....

Wednesday 01/05 #1 email @ 09.30

                      #2 email 16.00 This will cover the Friday morning J-League games.

This should come with a government wealth warning, as I have not been in the best of form for the last week, but having said that, both Cardiff City (winning 13.0) and Watford each way ( 67.0) secured big Championship paydays for us in the last 7 days, so hard to complain too much, but I will anyway !

Championship: Blackpool- Derby County
