Quietish day today. I don't tend to Telegram on a Monday but may be about for Italian Seria B at 14:00 onwards. Have a great day. There is a DRT Facebook review/preview video.

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE

20:00 - Southampton v Liverpool - 1.69 Liverpool

• 2 consecutive 0-0's for Southampton is surely a sequence we would target to end today. So lay any late 0-0.
• 3 draws and a loss last 4 matches, scoring 1-0-0-0 goals. Where are the Saints goal machines?
• They have failed to score in their last 2 at home as well.
• This 3 matches without a goal breaks a solid scoring record Saints had this season.
• They have scored 2+ goals v all top 7 sides, and in defeat twice at home (9th v 1st today).
• 7/9 goals conceded at home by Saints came 2nd half.
• They play a Liverpool on a 2 match draw sequence, 0-0 latest v Newcastle.
• Distinctly average away, Liverpool's current away run reads Loss, Draw, Draw, Draw, Draw, Win, Draw.
• They are undefeated in 12 and in 6 away.
• 62% of Liverpool goals scored away came 2nd half.
• Angles? These 2 have gone goal shy all of a sudden! Saints alarmingly so.
• I would lay any late 0-0. I like to take on 0-0 sequences. I would lay any 2nd half 0-0 as we expect goals 2nd half statistically.

SPANISH LA LIGA

20:00 - Valencia v Cadiz - 2.1 Valencia

• There's always a question mark when a newly promoted side saunters into town.
• This is 18th v 11th, yes Cadiz are 11th.
• Only 3 wins for Valencia all season. No win in 7 sees them conceding 2 goals at least on 4 occasions there.
• They have kept only 2 clean sheets. Will that give Cadiz a way in?
• Valencia have conceded in each of their last 8 home matches.
• Only 2 home wins for Valencia saw them score 4 goals v 1st and 12th. v 9th to 15th home and away they have conceded 2 goals at least. This is very bizarre form.
• 8/12 goals conceded at home by Valencia came 2nd half.
• They play a Cadiz failing to score in 6 of their last 8 matches and in each of their last 4 matches. They failed to score in 3 of their last 4 away, resulting in defeats. And their only win in 8 matches was...a 2-1 v Barcelona. Have we entered the Twilight Zone with these 2?
• Valencia are 18th. Cadiz have beaten 16th, drawn with 17th and beaten 20th away. Interesting...
• Angles? A hard to read match. Spluttering form for Valencia. When they win they score 4, but v 9th-15th they have without exception conceded 2 goals at least. They play an 11th today who are unbeaten away v 16th and lower.
• I cannot confidently predict this one! Welcome to a Monday coupon match!

PORTUGUESE PRIMEIRA LIGA

17:00 - Santa Clara v Benfica - 1.36 Benfica

• This match was ended at 0-0 at halftime yesterday due to bad weather. I said during Telegram that it looked as if Santa Clara have trouble scoring, and Benfica tend to score 2 goals at least so 0-1, 0-2 was an obvious play if this match recommences in the 2nd half.

19:00 - Gil Vicente v Belenenses - 2.12 Gil Vicente

Gil Vicente - 11th

• Only 1 loss in 4 matches was v Benfica. This run saw 2 of their 3 wins this season.
• All 3 wins characterised by clean sheets, 2 of those wins 1-0.
• All defeats have come v the top 8.
• 4/5 goals conceded at home came 2nd half.

Belenenses - 13th

• Only 2 wins all season.
• 2 consecutive defeats.
• Failed to score in their last 4 away matches.
• Failed to score in 6 matches this season 4 0-0's at halftime away.
• Only 1 loss but 4 0-0's and a 1-1 v teams 8th and lower.

Conclusions

• It looks as if a Gil Vicente win will be 1-0, but Belenenses could hold out for a 0-0, as you can see from their record v 8th and lower.
• An argument here for backing 0-0 pre match and cashing out at halftime or as near to halftime as you dare. It could be a goal-scarce match.

21:15 - Portimonense v Farense - 2.38 Portimonense

• Both sides have only 2 wins all season.
• Both sides have failed to score in 5 matches this season.
• Farense have conceded in their last 11 matches and last 5 away matches.
• 18th v 17th here.
• Angles? A little dodgy these 2. So be careful if you want to play this match.
• I would look to lay any 2nd half 0-0 based on the seasonal stats.

TURKISH SUPER LIG

16:00 - Kasimpasa v Fenerbahce - 1.99 Fenerbahce

Kasimpasa - 13th

• Only 1 loss at home came last match.
• Conceded 2+ goals in 8 of their last 9 matches.
• Led at halftime in 5/7 home matches.
• Only home loss came v 4th.
• 7/10 goals scored at home came 1st half.

Fenerbahce - 6th

• Only 2 draws all season were 0-0 in the first 3 matches of the season.
• Unbeaten away run ended last away match.
• 2 losses in 3 matches conceding 3 goals in each loss.
• No draw in 11 and in 5 away.
• Scored in their last 5 away matches.
• 5/5 wins away v 10th and lower saw both teams score in 4 of those matches.

Conclusions

• Both sides have had promising runs end in defeat last match. Fenerbahce's 2 recent defeats conceding 3 goals came from nowhere and is a worry but can we rely on the fact that they have had 5/5 wins away v 10th and lower, and play 13th today? If so, lay Kasimpasa if they score first.
• Kasimpasa do lead at halftime but on seasonal form may not lead at fulltime.

• Not played 13th and lower away.

Conclusions

• Slightly favour Jong FC Utrecht here but only slightly.
