Please Note: Prices are taken from www.willhill.com as the Betfair in-play coupon is not up as I write. Odds will be different and usually better at www.betfair.com Where I mention BANKER below, this signifies those matches where I think the favourites should win. These matches I would personally prioritise as regards DRT. Remember the strategies: Lay the 0-0 halftime score in certain signalled matches Lay the 0-0 2nd half in matches where goals were expected but have not yet materialised Lay the 2-2 scoreline, especially early on in matches. 2-2 shows us that teams are scoring and conceding. Lay the away team leading 0-2 before halftime, especially if they are favourites. The home team is usually galvanised by the halftime team talk. Lay the underdog if they score first in certain matches (especially BANKER matches where I would back the BANKERS if they conceded first at enhanced odds) Lay the underdog scoring early in the first half, in the HALF TIME market , especially in BANKER matches. It's a tough coupon today and I guess it's that part of the season where some teams ' season is all but over. Some are not in contention, some are in a relegation battle, and in the Championship we have 7/8 teams vying for the title. Choose your battles today. As I said last week, I am afraid there is no live chat this weekend. We have our holiday this weekend rather than last weekend.

12:45 UK Swansea v Everton - 2.5 home

Standout Stats

• Everton tend to go unbeaten in head to heads, albeit a 3-0 Swans win in the league cup recently at home.
• This is 8th v 12th in the Premiership. I think both teams are safe. 37 points for Everton with 3rd bottom on 26 points.

Swansea

• 2 match winning streak
• No draw in 7 matches.
• Conceded in their last 6 home matches.
• Beat Man Utd at home recently, but recent wins have been against the likes of Burnley, Aston Villa and Hull City.
• All defeats at home v teams above them in the league.
• Score draws at home v 9th-13th inclusive, where Everton reside
• No 0-0 at home

Everton

• 21 points remain in this league season so Everton are not out of the relegation struggle but it will take some almighty permutations for them to end 3rd bottom.
• No draw in 10 away matches.
• 3 consecutive wins.
• Conceded in their last 4 away
• Recent losses for Everton away v Chelsea and Arsenal were not unexpected, Stoke less so.
• 7 losses and a single draw away v top 10 this season.
• No 0-0 away

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• A dead rubber of sorts. Yes 21 possible points remain this season so mathematically Everton could get dragged into the mire if they lose all remaining matches and all teams between them and 3rd bottom win all of their matches. Quite a leap of imagination!
• On form, Swansea are favoured based on Everton's inability to win away to top 10. A recent 3 match winning streak will give Everton confidence but wins v Newcastle and QPR were expected
• Not a match which greatly interests me at this stage fo the season.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12:45 UK Inverness CT v Celtic - 1.55 away

Standout Stats

• Inverness won the last home head to head 1-0.
• Celtic won 4 of the last 5 head to heads to nil
• This is 3rd v 1st in the Scottish Premiership. I think 3rd is the best Inverness can hope for.

Inverness (caley)

• No win in 3 matches,
• Scored and conceded in their last 3 home matches.
• Conceded in their last 8 matches.
• No win in 6 matches. 3 losses in their last 4 matches.
• 3 consecutive score draws at home.
• Only 1 0-0 at home
• 6 0-0's at halftime at home (40%)

Celtic

• 19 wins in 22 matches ,
• 11 clean sheets in their last 13 matches.
• Failed to score in their last 4 matches.
• Scored 2+ goals in 10 of their last 12 matches.
• 6 match winning streak away
• Only 1 0-0
• 27 goals scored away and only 7 conceded

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• It seems season is over for Caley as they are unlikely to finish 2nd. They did win the last home encounter 1-0 but usually Celtic win to nil.
• I would take a chance and lay Caley if they score first this time as Celtic have been scoring 2 goals with regularity.
• Lay any late 0-0

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14:30 UK Mainz 05 v Bayer Leverkusen - 2.05 away

Standout Stats

• Leverkusen, Mainz and draw in the last 3 head to heads.
• This is 12th v 4th in the Bundesliga.

Mainz

• No win in 2 at home
• Scored and conceded in their last 3 at home
• 3 draws in their last 4 matches.
• Only 3 losses at home v 1st, 9th and 11th.
• Scored and conceded in 6 of 7 matches at home v 9th and above.
• Only 2 0-0's at home

Leverkusen

• 5 match winning streak
• 5 consecutive clean sheets.
• 3 of 5 defeats this season have come v the top 2.
• 2 other defeats came away v 9th and 16th.
• 6 0-0's at halftime away (46% of matches)

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• Head to heads are inconclusive. The form side must be Leverkusen coming into this match with 5 wins to nil. They also tend to lose to top 2 only so I would lay Mainz if they scored first (and Mainz do score and concede readily v top 9).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14:30 UK Bayern Munich v Eintracht Frankfurt - 1.18 home BANKER

Standout Stats

• 5 consecutive head to head wins for Bayern Munich , all without conceding.
• 5-4 goals scored in the last 2 head to heads.
• This is 1st v 8th in the Bundesliga. Bayern have  10 points advantage at the top.

Bayern

• 7 matches remain in this league so Bayern do not have the title nailed just yet.
• No draw in 3 at home
• 15 wins in their last 18 matches.
• Lost their last home match to Mgladbach. That was not wholly unexpected form wise.
• Failed to score in only 3 matches this season.
• Only 2 losses have come v top 3 sides
• Scored 2+ goals at home v 7th and lower.
• No 0-0 at home
• 40 goals scored at home, equally(ish) spread between the halves.
• Only 3 goals conceded in each half at home

Frankfurt

• No win in 7 away matches.
• Scored in their last 16 matches and last 8 away
• Conceded in their last 13 away matches.
• 3 match losing streak away
• Scored and conceded in 12 of their last 14 matches.
• 5 defeats in their last 6 away matches.
• Failed to score in only 3 matches.
• Only 4 clean sheets this season
• Unbeaten away to top 6 but draws v 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th, 3 were 2-2
• Conceded 2+ goals in 9 away matches.
• No 0-0
• 22 of 30 goals conceded away came 2nd half.

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• Both teams to score looks highly likely here based on the away side.
• I may back 2-2 pre match , so often does it appear for Frankfurt away to top sides.
• Lay Frankfurt if they score first .

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14:30 UK Schalke 04 v Freiburg - 1.67 home

Standout Stats

• 3 Schalke wins ended with a Freiburg win last time out
• This is 5th v 14th in the Bundesliga . Schalke are 8 points shy of 4th spot currently.

Schalke

• Conceded in their last 3 home matches.
• Only 1 win in 7 matches was at home v Hoffenheim.
• Only 2 losses at home v 4th and 13th.
• Only 1 0-0 at home

Freiburg

• No draw in 5 away matches
• 2 match losing streak away
• Failed to score in 4 of their last 5 away matches.
• Lost all away matches v top 6 this season without scoring.
• No win away v top 10

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• The odds are about right here aren't they? If Freiburg lose to top 6 without scoring, the form ( or lack thereof) is there for us to see . Schalke have only lost 2 at home so should Freiburg score first lay them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14:30 UK Borussia M'gladbach v Borussia Dortmund - 2.4 away

Standout Stats

• 2 Mgladbach wins followed by a Dortmund 1-0 in the last 3 league head to heads.
• This is 3rdd v 10th in the Bundesliga.

Mgladbach

• 6 match home winning streak
• No draw in 8 at home
• 4 consecutive home clean sheets.
• 6 clean sheets in their last 10 matches.
• Recent away win v Bayern Munich is eye-catching form.
• Scored 2+ goals in each of their last 5 matches.
• Only 1 loss at home
• Against 5th -12th inclusive at home, Mgladbach have scored and conceded and 7th-11th inclusive at home has seen 4-4-5-5- total goals.
• Only 1 0-0 at home
• Scored 12 in each half at home
• Scored first in 11 of 13 home matches.

Dortmund

• No defeat in 5 away
• Only Bayern have beaten Dortmund in the last 8 matches.
• 3-3-0-3 scored in their last 4 away matches.
• Failed to score in 3 of their last 4 matches in stark contrast.
• Conceded 2 goals at least in 7 of 9 away matches v top 13 sides. But is this a sign of earlier season woes?

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• This could be an entertaining attacking match with both teams scoring IF Dortmund show the goal-scoring of recent away matches rather than failing to score in 3 of their last 4 matches. Mgladbach v mid table teams tend to score and concede and see plenty of goals.
• If the match is 0-0 for a while take a chance and lay under 4.5 goals in the expectation for an exciting defensive match.
• In the hope for goals, lay the 0-0 halftime score.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15:00 UK West Ham v Stoke - 2.2 home

Standout Stats

• Stoke are unbeaten in the last 3 head to heads with a 0-1, 3-1 and a 2-2.
• This is 9th v 10th and both teams are in identical points.  Both sides are 12 points shy of a top 6 spot.

West Ham

• 1 match home winning streak.
• No draw in 5 matches.
• Only 2 wins in 14 matches came at home v Hull and Sunderland. West Ham are thankful for their early season form otherwise they would be in deep doo-doo.
• All home losses have come v top 11 , so Stoke are able , form wise, to get a result.
• Only 1 0-0 at home
• 6 0-0's at halftime at home
• West Ham have scored first in 10 of 16 matches.

Stoke

• No draw in 7 matches.
• Conceded in their last 4 away matches.
• Recent losses v West Brom, Palace and Chelsea.
• Stoke's last 3 away wins were v Everton, Leicester and Aston Villa.
• No draw away v teams above them in the league and West Ham are marginally above them in the league.
• No 0-0

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• 21 points remain as available this season and both sides are 12 points shy of top 6. I don't think they will threaten top 6 places which makes this mid table mediocrity dangerous from a trading perspective.  Stoke have the best of it in head to heads.
• Both teams recent wins were against strugglers by and large which makes this an unappealing match for me to trade in.
• The only angle? Lay the late draw. Stoke tend to avoid draws v teams above them in the league.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15:00 UK West Brom v Leicester - 2.2 home

Standout Stats

• 4 consecutive West Brom wins and in the Premiership West Brom won 0-1.
• this is 14th v 20th in the Premiership.West Brom are 7 points above the drop zone. As things stand , Leicester are 6 points shy of 4th bottom.

West Brom

• No draw in 11 home matches.
• 4 wins in their last 6 at home , 3 were 1-0 - typical Pulis.
• A worrying 1-4 loss at home to QPR last time out.
• Indeed 2 recent losses for West Brom came v Villa and QPR and they play another struggler today.
• Reasonable form at home to teams below them bar that loss to QPR. 3 wins v 16th, 17th and 19th at home were to nil
• No 0-0 at home

Leicester

• No win in 6 away
• Conceded in their last 6 away matches.
• Only 1 win in their last 9 came last match at home to West Ham
• Worryingly, Leicester have conceded 2-2-3-2-2-0-2-3-2-2-2-4 away from home.
• Only 2 away wins were 0-1 v Stoke and Hull City.
• No 0-0 away
• Conceded 31 goals away , pretty well spread between both halves.

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• Leicester's consistent conceding of 2+ goals away means they are already on the back foot. IN West Brom, though, they are playing a side who have recently lost to strugglers so they are vulnerable to the vulnerable.
• This is a relegation six pointer and I cannot really pick a team to side with. This could be a tight match , as with West Brom's 1-0 wins v strugglers at home, or a goal fest as per Leicester;s concessions away.
• A match to leave alone for me. Desperation can produce shocks.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15:00 UK Southampton v Hull - 1.53 home

Standout Stats

• 2 consecutive 0-1 wins for Southampton in head to heads.
• This is 7th v 17th in the Premiership.
• I suppose a top 4 spot is possible for the glass half full Saints fans.
• Hull have a 2 point lead over the relegation zone. A win will really help today.

Southampton

• 2 match home winning streak
• 2 consecutive home clean sheets.
• 5 of the last 7 defeats were 1-0. Polish that up and Saints won't be losing. Also, will Hull really keep Southampton out today?
• 5 clean sheets in their last 7 home matches.
• All defeats at home v 8th and higher.
• 9 clean sheets in 10 home matches v 9th and lower at home.
• 7 0-0's at halftime at home.

Hull

• No win in 6 away and 5 overall.
• Scored and conceded in their last 2 matches.
• Conceded 3 goals in their last 2 matches.
• Failed to score in 4 of their last 6 away matches.
• No win home or away v top 10.
• v top 5, draws away to 2nd, 4th and 5th
• 8 0-0's at halftime away ( 50%)
• 11 goals conceded in the last 1/2 hour of away matches.

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• Southampton are in solid form at home and their keeping clean sheets must spell advantage Saints. They only tend to lose to 8th and higher, and tend to lose 1-0 recently if they lose. This presents a concern. If Hull score first, they are vulnerable but Saints are vulnerable to 1-0's. Perhaps cover the 0-1 correct score and lay Hull in the match odds market if they lead.
• With Hull failing to score in 4 of their last 6 away matches, there may not be a DRT in this match.
• This might be 0-0 at halftime so don't be worried about that. I do eventually expect a goal at some stage.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15:00 UK Tottenham v Aston Villa - 1.6 home

Standout Stats

• 6 consecutive Spurs wins in head to heads.
• This is 6th v 16th in the Premier League.

Spurs

• 2 match home winning streak
• No defeat in 10 at home
• Scored and conceded in their last 6 at home
• Only 3 losses in 17 matches against Palace, Liverpool and Man Utd, they were all away losses.
• Scored and conceded in their last 6 home matches, scoring 5-2-2-2-3-4
• Against bottom 6 at home, 4 wins out of 4.
• Only 3 0-0's at halftime at home

Aston Villa

• No draw in 9 away matches.
• Scored and conceded in their last 2 matches.
• Only 2 wins in 17 matches came against West Brom and Sunderland.
• 7 losses in their last 8 matches away
• Only one win home and away v top 9
• 3 of 4 away wins were 0-1
• Only 1 0-0 away
• Only scored 2 goals away in the 2nd half.

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• Spurs tend to win in head to heads and are undefeated at home.Spurs are scoring plenty at home  and against the bottom 6 have a 100% record.
• With Spurs scoring and conceded in recent home matches, Villa might land a blow but not win. Lay Villa if they score first. A slight risk as they tend to win 0-1 if they win away.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15:00 UK Sunderland v Crystal Palace - 2.75 home and away

Standout Stats

• This really is too tight to call as advertised in William Hill's 2.75 odds quote for either side!.
• Next please!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15:00 UK Ipswich v Blackpool - 1.3 home

Standout Stats

• 0-0 and 0-2 Ipswich win in the last 2 head to heads.
• This is 8th v 25th in the Championship. Blackpool are relegated. Ipswich could enter the play-off zone with a win today.
• I am not going to research this match fully.
• Blackpool have not won away from home and have conceded 4-4-7-1-2-4-2 v top 9 away from home this season.
• Ipswich have scored 2 goals at least in all bar 1 match v 19th and lower at home

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• A match of circumstance. Dead rubber for Blackpool. Potential Premiership for Ipswich. You get the idea.! Blackpool have had 3 consecutive 1-1's so if they score first, lay them. The need is great with Ipswich who tend to score 2 goals v bottom 6 at home.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15:00 UK Middlesbrough v Rotherham - 1.44 home

Standout Stats

• 0-3 for Middlesbrough in the last head to head.
• This is 4th v 21st in the Championship.

Middlesbrough

• No draw in 10 at home and 10 overall
• 9 wins in their last 10 home matches.
• 8 clean sheets in their last 13 home matches.
• Only 3 losses at home v 12th, 14th and 18th at home
• 3 wins to nil and a 1-1 draw v bottom 5 at home.
• Only 1 0-0 at home
• 7 0-0's at halftime at home (35%)
• 25 of 28 home goals scored 2nd half.

Rotherham

• 2 match losing streak away
• No draw in 10 and in 6 away
• 7 losses in their last 10 matches
• 5 losses in their last 6 away matches.
• Conceded 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches.
• No away win v 16th and higher.
• 1-1 draws away to 1st and 2nd but failed to score v 3rd-9th inclusive away
• 8 0-0's at halftime away

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• 3 points is key to both sides. Rotherham need 3 points to salvage their season. Boro could go first with 3 points.
• Boro are in good winning form at home and won 9 of their last 10 home matches, keeping clean sheets in 8 of 13 . Rotherham have been conceding 2 goals recently. They failed to score away v 3rd-9th inclusive.
• Boro must be favoured form wise today but these must wins for both teams could produce a shock result.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15:00 UK Bristol Rovers v Southport - 1.36 home

Standout Stats

• 0-1 to Bristol Rovers in a previous head to head.
• This is 2nd v 19th in the Conference National.
• Bristol Rovers are a point behind Barnet. Bristol Rovers go top with a win, dependent on Barnet's result.
• Southport look to be safe from relegation.

Bristol Rovers

• 3 matches left this season.
• Bristol Rovers have lost to 2 sides at home v 4th and 6th .
• 13 wins and 3 1-1 draws v teams 7th and lower.
• Scored in their last 12 at home.
• 5 wins in their last 6 matches.

Southport

• 4 losses and a 0-1 away to top 6 this season.
• 4-0-3-5 conceded v top 5 away

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• Highly motivated v season seemingly over so a good DRT match here. Bristol Rovers will be all out for a season-changing win. A good DRT match therefore as Bristol Rovers will not want to lose this match.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15:00 UK Real Madrid v Eibar - 1.05 home BANKER. I think Real should be leading at halftime

Standout Stats

• 0-4 in November 2014 for Real Madrid. 1.05 Barcelona recently won 4-0 so that will be the gauge for today's match where no research is necessary.
• Barcelona scored before halftime at these odds. Expect Real Madrid to do the same although they did huff and puff away at Rayo Vallecano before winning 0-2

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• Real Madrid must win. Therein lies your angle here.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17:00 UK Malaga v Atletico Madrid - 2.1 away

Standout Stats

• Atl Madrid have not lost in the last 7 head to heads.
• This is 7th v 3rd in La Liga.

Malaga

• No defeat in 3 at home
• Scored 1-2-0-1-0 in their last 5 matches.
• Only 3 losses at home. 0-0 v Barcelona and 1-2 v Real Madrid. This will be a tough match for Atl Madrid.
• Have only scored a maximum of one goal v teams 9th and above at home.
• 2 0-0's at home

Atl Madrid

• 4 consecutive clean sheets , 3 away
• 3 match winning streak.
• 7 clean sheets in 9 matches.
• 3 consecutive 2-0's before halftime
• Only 1 loss in 12 matches.
• Losses away v 1st, 4th, 11th and 12th away

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• Atl Madrid have the best of it in head to heads.
• This will be a tough match for Atl Madrid today . I am not sure of a DRT angle as Malaga can be a tough nut to crack at home v the big 3.
• Atl Madrid do have the better form here, the clean sheets, and the winning streak and only 1 loss in 12. Enough to side with them today?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17:00 UK Parma v Juventus - 1.25 away

Standout Stats

• 4 consecutive wins for Juventus. It's been tight at Parma 1-1, 0-1, 0-1
• This is bottom v top. Parma seem doomed but not mathematically out of it. Juventus are 14 points clear at the top.

Parma

• Only 4 wins all season and won their last home match 1-0.
• Failed to score in 3 of their last 4 home matches.
• Only 1 win in 11 matches.

Juventus

• Only 1 loss all season.

• 4 consecutive clean sheets
• 4 match winning streak
• 3 draws and a 0-1 in their last 4 away matches.
• Failed to score in their last 3 matches.
• 2-3-3-2-7 goals scored home and away v bottom 3 sides this season.
• 7 0-0's at halftime away

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• This time of the season can produce shocks but I cannot see it on this occasion what with Juventus scoring 3+ goals regularly against the bottom 3.
• The season is not nailed yet for Juventus mathematically , nor is it lost for Parma mathematically but it would take some mind bending permutations to not see these 2 top and tail Seria A
• Expect Juventus to score 2/3 goals if on their game. Parma might be competitive today 1-2, 1-2, 1-0 v top 4 at home and if scoring first, I think Juventus have enough.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17:00 UK Benfica v Academica - 1.18 away

Standout Stats

• 6 consecutive wins in head to heads for Benfica scoring 3-2-3 recently.

• 2 consecutive 0--0's
• Failed to score in 3 of their last 4 away matches.
• Have not beaten any team home and away in top 8
• 9 0-0's at halftime away

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• Reasonable recent form form Academica, but too many draws. They have failed to score in 3 of their last 4 matches and have 2 consecutive 0-0's . With Benfica managing 8 goals in 3 head to heads, and scoring 3+ goals in 9 of their last 12 matches Benfica should win as the odds suggest. 3/4 goals and a goal at least before halftime so lay that 0-0 halftime score.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17:30 UK Burnley v Arsenal - 1.57 away

Standout Stats

• 3-0 earlier this season for Arsenal.
• This is 19th v 2nd and a royal battle for 3 points.

Burnley

• 2 consecutive clean sheets.
• Only 2 wins in 15 matches.
• Did beat Man City 1-0 at home recently
• Failed to score in 4 of their last 5 matches.
• 2 consecutive clean sheets.
• Only 5 wins all season, 4 were at home.
• v top 8 at home, Burnley have scored 1-0-1-0-0-1-0 but have conceded 3-0-0-1-0-0-1

Arsenal

• 7 match winning streak, 3 away
• No draw in 14 matches.
• Scored and conceded in their last 4 away.
• Scored in their last 11 matches.
• Won 10 of their last 11 matches.
• Scored 2-2-2-2-3-2-4 in recent matches.
• Failed to score in only 3 matches.
• No 0-0

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• 3 of Burnley's home wins were 1-0 but you cannot envision that today against an Arsenal side scoring 2+ goals in their last 7 matches.
• 1-2, 0-2  looks like a good correct score today. It has occured in Arsenal's last 3 away matches and with Burnley battling, both teams could score today.
• Lay any late 0-0.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17:30 UK Hamburg v Wolfsburg - 1.85 away

Standout Stats

• 2 consecutive wins for Wolfsburg in head to heads.
• This is 16th v 2nd in the Bundesliga.
• There are 7 matches left this season. Wolfsburg are 10 points shy of Bayern Munich . Hamburg still could survive this season . They are 3rd bottom 1st.

Hamburg

• 3 match losing streak
• No win in 7 matches.
• Scored and conceded in their last 3 matches.
• At home to top 7, Hamburg have 0-0, 1-1, 1-0 and 1-1. So they are competitive.
• 6 0-0's at halftime at home

Wolfsburg

• Conceded in their last 8 away matches.
• Only 4 defeats all season.
• Wolfsburg have goals in them. They have scored 3-5-2-5-0-3-1-3 recently.
• Struggles in the last 2 away matches, a 1-0 loss and a 1-1 draw.
• Have only failed to score in  2 matches this season
• v bottom 5, Wolfsburg have been emphatic with 1-2, 1-3, and 0-4 scorelines.
• No 0-0 away

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• Hamburg have a good record at home to the top 7 , all under 2.5 goals , unbeaten too. Wolfsburg have struggled in their last 2 away matches 1-1 and 1-0 loss, but against bottom 5, it's the old Wolfsburg , scoring 2, 3 and 4 goals.
• Which way will you fall? The usual? - Wolfsburg scoring 2+ goals at least? Or Hamburg's interesting form at home to top 7 sides?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

19:00 UK Sevilla v Barcelona - 1.6 away

Standout Stats

• 6 consecutive wins for Barcelona in head to heads.
• This is 5th v 1st in La Liga. It's a humdinger with Real Madrid

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

• Barcelona tend to win the head to heads. The need is with both teams to win , hence the odds for Barcelona.
• Sevilla are in great recent form but they not played the top 2 at home just yet ( and have lost to the top 4 away).
• So despite the excellent recent form, Sevilla are untested at home v the top 2.
• Both sides could score today and if Sevilla score first, I would back Barcelona at enhanced odds.
• I will take a chance on laying 0-0 halftime score as both sides have good scoring record.
