Tuesday’s Champions League Football

Marseille v Liverpool – Live on ITV1, k/o 7:45pm

Marseille and Liverpool are level on 7 points and whoever wins this match will be celebrating a place in the UEFA Champions League last 16. This match is the most important game for Liverpool since last season’s Champions League Final. The qualifying odds favour Marseille, as a draw coupled with a Porto win would send Marseille through due to their win at Anfield on 3rd October. The bookmakers believe that Liverpool will just have enough to get the win they need to qualify, with Better pricing Liverpool at 5/6 for the win, while Marseille have been given odds of 3/1 (Centrebet)to get 3 points. With qualification at stake for the lucrative knock out stage…

England v Croatia Preview

If someone had said a week ago England would only need a draw at home to Croatia to qualify they would’ve been thought a fool. 5 years ago we ‘only’ needed a draw at home to Greece. 2-1 down with time running out, David Beckham stepped up…

If England win by more than 2 goals tonight they’ll top the group, which Steve McLaren would argue is all England set out to achieve. A 2-0 home win (5/1) will also see them finish top of the pile. With Peter “Rodney Trotter” Crouch leading the line, there’s no reason why they can’t continue our excellent home form.

England, who look set to drop both Paul “Crisp Packet Hands” Robinson and Becks for tonight’s qualifier in favour of Scott…

Saturday’s International Football

Saturday sees the start of the Euro 2008 Qualifiers, and the most significant game of the day is at Hampden Park, where Scotland host world champions Italy (live on Sky Sports 1, k/o 5:00pm). Scotland have been fantastic during this qualification campaign, having acquired 24 points in 11 games, no mean feat considering this group contained Ukraine, France and Italy. Even a mid-campaign management change couldn’t derail Scotland, with Alex McLeish continuing the good work of Walter Smith.

World Champions Italy are not a side to underestimate, with a squad full of experienced, world class players such as Gattuso, Pirlo and Luca Toni, they will challenge to the very end but with Scotland priced at 14/5 (Centrebet) the present odds appear good value for…

Premier League Preview – Games 10/12 November 2007

Sunderland 6/4 v Newcastle 6/4 (11/5 draw)Saturday’s 12:45pm Kick Off sees a North East derby between two sides who just aren’t quite getting results at the moment. This game comes off the back of the 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Portsmouth for the Magpies, a game that saw them go 3-0 down after just 11 minutes. Big Sam has done “ok” so far but the defensive frailties obviously still remain, despite several new signings in that area. Sunderland are playing well but lack a cutting edge, they get into the positions needed to win games – but rarely put the ball in the back of the net. I’m sure the absence of Carlos Edwards is a huge…

The first Champions League fixtures of November kick off on Tuesday night, and there are some exciting betting opportunities available!

On Tuesday night, we start with Liverpool v Besiktas at Anfield (live on ITV1, k/o 7:45pm). Liverpool’s European campaign has not gone as smoothly as previous seasons, as the 2005 Champions find themselves bottom of Group A and with only 1 point so far, they face a real struggle to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition. Having just lost to Besiktas in the previous game, you can bet that Rafa’s men will be desperate to beat the Turkish Champions. With Better pricing…

Arsenal v Man UtdSaturday’s Premiership Football

On Saturday we have what is looking to be one of the biggest games of the Premiership season, as Arsenal host Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium (live on Sky Sports 1, k/o 12:45pm). This season, Arsenal have really stepped up their game; playing beautiful, passing football to devastating effect. No one personifies this improvement more than Cesc Fabregas, who has been superb this season, making 559 passes with around 79% of those passes finding a teammate, a truly awesome statistic. Thierry Who?

BGbet are offering to refund all losing first goalscorer bets on Arsenal v Man Utd if Cesc Fabregas scores at anytime in this…
