Lay the 0-0 halftime score in certain signaled matches.
Look out for a 0-0 at halftime in matches where we expected goals. Augsburg v Werder Bremen was a ready recent example. Research suggested over 2.5 goals (3+ goals expected). The match was 0-0 at halftime. Where are the goals? Back over 2.5 goals at enhanced odds for the 2nd half. 3 goals were scored in this case.
Lay the 0-0 2nd half in matches where goals were expected but have not yet materialized.
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 not the pre-market favorites. The home team is usually galvanized 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).
I back BANKER bets with level stakes, re-calculating the level stakes every 20 bets and bet with that new level stake amount for the next 20 bets.
Lay the underdog scoring early in the first half, in the HALF TIME market, especially in BANKER matches.
Do note matches where one team is red carded. The opponents do tend to score next more often than not.
Killer stats are in bold italics. MOTD signals any match(es) I would prioritize my focus on if I had to choose just one or two matches in order to shorten the work load. These are the Matches of The Day. The DRT stripped Bulletin is found in the Daily Bulletin section of delayreacttrade.com
11am - Ath Bilbao v Granada - 1.56 home
Standout Stats
- Granada are unbeaten in the last 3 head to heads.
- This is 7th v 17th in the Spanish La Liga. A must-win for Granada in their relegation fight.
Ath Bilbao
- 2 match home winning streak.
- Scored and conceded in their last 2 at home.
- 4 wins in their last 5 matches.
- 3 losses at home v 1st, 3rd and 11th.
- Have scored 2+ goals at least at home v 12th and lower.
- 64% over 2.5 goals at home.
- 4 0-0's at halftime at home.
- Only 2 0-0's at halftime at home.
Granada
- No draw in 8 away matches.
- 2 consecutive score draws.
- 6 losses and a win in their last 7 away matches.
- Only 3 clean sheets all season.
- Only 1 win away v teams above them in the league.
- 5 0-0's at halftime away.
- Conceded 10 goals in the last 1/4 hour of away matches.
- Opponents scored first in 11/15 away.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Granada are unlikely to win today. With Ath Bilbao scoring 2+ goals v teams 12th and lower in the league, back Ath Bilbao if Granada score first.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11:30am - Udinese v Napoli - 1.5 away
Standout Stats
- 1-1 and 1-0 Udinese in the last 2 home head to heads.
- Napoli have won the last 3 head to heads though.
- This is 16th v 2nd in Italian Seria A. Udinese are 3 points from relegation and could go as high as 12th (other results pending) if they win. Napoli fight for the title with Juventus. A win today for Napoli puts them on equal points with Juventus, without accounting for the Juventus result.
Udinese
- Scored and conceded last 2 matches.
- Only 1 win in 12 matches.
- Not beaten any top 12 team at home. Lost all at home v top 6 conceding between 2 and 4 goals.
- 4 0-0's at halftime at home - 29% of matches.
Napoli
- 3 match winning streak.
- Only 3 defeats.
- 1-0-1-1-3-1-3 scored recently. Those 3 were scored at home.
- 2-2-3-1-1 total goals before halftime in recent Napoli matches.
- Unbeaten home and away v 11th and lower.
- V 14th and lower away, 5 wins and a 0-0.
- 6 0-0's at halftime away - 40% of away matches.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Udinese have had 2 good home results v Napoli in recent home head to heads but may be up against it today, having not beaten any top 12 team and losing to all top 6 teams. Napoli for their part have lost only 3 matches. There may be a chink in the armour re recent goals scored by Napoli. In 5 of last 7, only 1 max scored. They remain unbeaten v 11th and lower (Udinese are 16th) so I do expect Napoli not to lose. At their best, Napoli score 2/4 goals today.
-
Halftime incongruous.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11:30am - NEC Nijmegen v Vitesse - 2.12 away
Standout Stats
- 1-0 to Vitesse in the only recent relevant head to head.
- This is 9th v 7th in the Dutch Eredivisie. A great season for NEC should ensure they remain in the top flight for another season.
NEC
- 6 matches remain, and 15 points clear of relegation.
- No draw in 6 at home.
- Only 1 win in 8 matches came at home.
- All 3 defeats at home came v top 4.
- 5 0-0's at halftime at home.
- 16 of 20 goals scored at home came 2nd half.
Vitesse
- 2 match winning streak away.
- 2-2-3 scored in their last 3 away.
- All defeats bar one this season have come exclusively v top 5 teams.
- 7 0-0's at halftime away - 50% of matches.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- I do feel that Vitesse have the slight edge here, they tend only to lose to top 5 teams. Yes NEC at home tend only to lose to top 4 but Vitesse's form looks more solid. I would lay NEC if NEC scores first.
- Fear not if the match is 0-0 at halftime (50% of Vitesse's are away), Vitesse have scored 7 goals in their last 3 away and NEC have scored 16 of their 20 home goals 2nd half.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12:30pm - Aberdeen v Hamilton - 1.45 home - MOTD - Expect 100% from Aberdeen - Lose this, they lose their title bid.
Standout Stats
- Aberdeen tend to win but it was a 1-1 in the last head to head.
- This is 2nd v 10th in the Scottish Premier League. Celtic have a game in hand as well as 4 points.
Aberdeen
- 2 matches left, lose this and they lose their title bid.
- Only 2 losses in 18 matches.
- 3 consecutive 2-1 scorelines, 2 wins and a loss.
- No defeat in 10 at home.
- Scored and conceded in their last 3 at home. Scored in their last 10 overall.
- Only 1 loss at home. all wins at home v bottom 3.
- Scored first in 10/15 at home.
Hamilton
- Scored in their last 4 away.
- Only 2 wins in 15 matches were 1-0.
- No win v any top 8 side away.
- Conceded 21 of their 29 goals away in the first half. Scored 3 of their 15 away goals first half.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Lay the 0-0 halftime score. If Hamilton concede it is highly likely to be first half.
- A must win for Aberdeen so back Aberdeen if Hamilton score first.
- 2-0, 2-1 possible win scorelines for Aberdeen?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1:30pm - Leicester v Southampton - 2.28 home
Standout Stats
- 2-0 Leicester and 2-2 the last 2 head to heads.
- This is 1st v 7th. Leicester battle with Spurs for the title. Southampton are up for 4th spot with a good set of results.
Leicester
- Only 3 defeats, 2 were v Arsenal.
- 4 1-0 wins in the last 5 matches.
- Failed to score in only 3 matches.
- No defeat in 11 at home.
- Not won any home match v top 6 and play 7th today. Only the 1 loss though at home.
- 7 0-0's at halftime at home is 47% of matches.
- Scored first in 10/15 at home.
Southampton
- 2 match winning streak.
- Scored and conceded last 3 matches.
- Only 2 losses in 11 matches.
- No win v top 5 away, 0-0 v 3rd losses v 4th and 5th.
- 8 0-0's at halftime away is 53% of matches.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- A marked lurch in tactics for the Tinker Man sees him taking lessons from Tony Pulis. 4 1-0 Leicester wins in 5 matches is effective but dangerous. Concede and your plans are ruined.
- I think Leicester are vulnerable today. They meet 7th and are yet to beat any top 6 teams this season so I would look at laying Leicester if Leicester do score first. I would delay entry though as they have shown an affinity towards 1-0.
- Do not be surprised with a 0-0 at halftime. The % from both sides are quite high.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2pm - Atalanta v AC Milan - 2.36 away
Standout Stats
- 1-3 Milan and 0-0 in the last 2 head to heads.
- This is 13th v 6th in Italian Seria A.
- Atalanta are too close to the relegation zone for comfort.
Atalanta
- Only 1 win in 15 matches came last match.
- Not beaten any top 7 side at home.
- Scored and conceded in all bar 1 at home v top 8.
- 6 0-0's at halftime at home - 40% of home matches.
- 12 of 16 goals conceded away came 2nd half.
AC Milan
- No win in 3 away matches.
- Failed to score in their last 2 away matches.
- Only 3 losses in 23 matches - superb form. Only 1 win in 6 away though.
- Only 1 0-0 at halftime in their last 11 matches.
- Unbeaten at home and away v 13th and lower.
- 2/3rd of halftime scores away were either 1-0 or 0-0.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- A Milan may concede today and not lose. They may even be losing at halftime and still not lose. So if Atalanta score first, lay Atalanta. The draw is not out of it.
- Lay the 0-0 halftime score. We have a chance here, as AC Milan have had only 1 0-0 at halftime in their last 11 matches.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2pm - Fiorentina v Sampdoria - 1.65 home
Standout Stats
- 2 consecutive 2-0 wins for Fiorentina in head to heads.
- This is 4th v 15th in Italian Seria A. Sampdoria are 4 points above the relegation zone so this is one of those matches we get at this part of the season where both sides need points, albeit for completely different reasons.
Fiorentina
- Scored in their last 15 at home.
- No defeat in 5 at home.
- Scored and conceded in their last 4 at home.
- 3 draws in their last 4 matches.
- A run of both teams scoring in 7 consecutive matches ended with a 0-0 latest.
- Solid at home v 9th and lower.8 wins and 2 draws.
- 9 wins and 2 draws home and away v 14th and lower so should be confident today.
- Only 2 0-0'sat halftime at home.
- Scored first in 11/15 at home.
Sampdoria
- Scored in their last 9 away.
- Only 2 wins in their last 12 matches.
- Only 2 away wins.
- Scored and conceded away v all top 11 they have played to date, without winning any.
- Only 2 0-0's at halftime away.
- Opponents scored first in 11/15 away.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Fiorentina are highly likely to score first. We may, though, see a return to both teams scoring which occured before the recent Fiorentina 0-0. If we do see both teams scoring, as has happened for Sampdoria away to all top 12, we are unlikely to see Sampdoria win.
- It does open it up for my favourite 2-2 correct score as a trading vehicle for this match.
- If the match happens to be 0-0, keep the faith, as Fiorentina tend to score a goal.....eventually.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2pm - Genoa v Frosinone - 1.57 home
Standout Stats
- 2-2 the last time these 2 met.
- This is 12th v 19th in Italian Seria A.
Genoa
- 3 match home winning streak.
- No defeat in 6 at home.
- Have beaten 3rd bottom and bottom at home to nil and play 2nd bottom today.
- 7 0-0's at halftime at home - nearly 50% of matches.
Frosinone
- 2 match losing streak away.
- No draw in 5 away.
- Sonceded in their last 14 away matches.
- Only 3 wins in 16 matches.
- Only 1 win away.
- 33 goals conceded away, fairly split between 1st and 2nd halves.
- Opponents scored first in 12/14 away.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Frosinone simply cannot keep the back door shut. 33 goals conceded away and highly likely to concede today. That is a ready angle into the match.
- These matches at this time of the year can be tough to gauge as both sides need points for a variety of reasons which may see the relegation threatened side play a different game. As things stand though, Frosinone have only 1 win away and Genoa tend to score 2+ goals v bottom 3.
- Form or fight for their lives?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2pm - Dinamo Zagreb v Osijek - 1.15 home - MOTD - Unbeaten at home in league since August 2010.
Standout Stats
- Ahh, Dinamo at home. Not lost a home league match since August 2010.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Highly unlikely to see Dinamo Zagreb lose today so let's hope Osijek can lead at some stage. 1.15 odds (if accurate) suggest Dinamo Zagreb could score 3/4 goals today.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2:30pm - Mgladbach v Hertha Berlin - 1.9 home
Standout Stats
- 3-3-3-2-4 scored by Mgladbach in recent head to heads. They'd be welcoming Hertha today.
- This is 5th v 3rd in the German Bundesliga. These 2 are looking at 3rd/4th place only and European competition at season end.
Mgladbach
- Only 3 draws all season.
- 4 consecutive home wins.
- Scored in their last 8 overall and last 8 at home.
- 3 consecutive home clean sheets.
- A very strong over 2.5 goals trend for Mgladbach all season.
- Only 1 home draw.
- Losses at home v 2nd, 7th and 12th at home.
- All 3-1 scorelines v top 4 at home (2 wins and a loss).
- 79% over 2.5 goals at home.
- 3 0-0's at halftime at home.
Hertha Berlin
- 4 wins in their last 5, 3 came at home.
- Defeats away v 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th, 11th and 12th.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Not many trends for Hertha Berlin.
- In head to heads Mgladbach tend to bag 2+ goals. Will that continue today? Well Mgladbach are expected to score today and there is a very strong over 2.5 goals trend. Scorelines v top 4 have been 1-3 so both teams could score today without Mgladbach losing.
- I will favour the head to heads here and Hertha's poor away record v top teams to lay Hertha should Hertha score first.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3pm - FC Copenhagen v SonderjyskE - 1.56 home
Standout Stats
- Both teams have scored in the last 5 head to heads with 2 score draws and 3 away wins for Copenhagen.
- This is 1st v 3rd in the Danish Superliga.
FC Copenhagen
- Only 3 losses all season, and lost last match.
- No defeat in 12 at home.

- Have actually played today's opponents twice away and beaten them, conceding in both matches.
- 19 of 31 goals scored at home came 2nd half.
- Scored first in 10/13 at home.
SonderjyskE
- No defeat in 7 and in 6 away.
- 0-2-1-1-0 scored in recent away matches.
- All defeats v top 2 this season.
- 7 0-0's at halftime away - 58% of matches away.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Only 3 losses and lost their last match. Copenhagen are highly unlikely to lose a 2nd consecutive match and that will be my angle into this match. They could concede today without losing so watch out for a Sonder goal.
- Both teams to score, therefore, and Copenhagen not to lose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:45pm - Ajax v Zwolle - 1.28 home - MOTD banker
Standout Stats

Zwolle
- No draw in 8 matches.
- Scored and conceded last 3.
- All defeats away v top 6.
- 6 0-0's at halftime away is 43% of matches.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Ajax must win expecting PSV to win in this title tussle.
- Zwolle don't have a good record v top 6 away - losing the lot. There is nothing in their form to assume a reversal today.
- Expect Ajax to score at some stage if 0-0 for a while as they have failed to score in only 2 matches.
- Ajax are expected to score 2+ goals if playing to their current season form.
- Lay the 0-0 halftime score.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Have scored 12 goals away in the first half.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Everton are excellent away from home and could give Man Utd a match today.
- I cannot split these 2 sides. Man Utd are solid v 8th-15th at home and Everton solid away.
- In-play stats for me. Join me with the live chat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4pm - SC Bastia v Marseille - 2.42 away
Standout Stats
- I wonder if Marseille are rid of their 1-1 habit. We shall see.
- Marseille are unbeaten in the last 9 head to heads.
- They have scored 3-3-3-4 in the last 4 head to heads.
- This is 12th v 13th in French Ligue 1.
SC Bastia
- Only 1 loss in 7 sees 3 draws in their last 4 matches.
- 5 clean sheets in their last 7 matches.
- Only 1 defeat at home v teams below them in the league, albeit Marseille are just below them.
- 7 0-0's at halftime at home is 43% of matches.
- Scored first in 10/16 at home.
Marseille
- No win in 7 matches.
- No defeat in 11 away.
- Scored in their last 11 and last 13 away.
- Scored and conceded in their last 7 matches.
- 9 1-1 scorelines in their last 14 matches. Just ended a sequence of 5 consecutive 1-1's with a 2-5 loss.
- Only lost to PSG amongst teams above them in the league away from home.
- 7 0-0's at halftime away - 47% of matches.
- Scored first in 11/15 away.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Marseille are one of those sides who are having problems at home and obviously welcome an away day. Unbeaten in 13 away now I would slightly favour Marseille. Given they are so adept at 1-1 scorelines, I would lay Bastia if Bastia scored first.
- Both teams to score is an obvious call given Marseille's recent record.
- If they re-capture their head to head form, I foresee a 2-3, 1-3 kind of scoreline which might be tradable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4:30pm - Hoffenheim v FC Koln - 2.46 home
Standout Stats
- 3-4 Koln, 3-2 Koln and 0-0 in the last 3 head to heads.
- This is 16th v 9th in the Bundesliga.. It's tight at the bottom of the league so Hoffenheim can salvage their season. 5 teams are within a point of each other.
Hoffenheim
- 2 match winning streak, 3 at home.
- No draw in 6 matches.
- Scored in their last 7 matches.
- 4 wins in their last 6 matches.
- Only 5 clean sheets.
- No 0-0 at halftime in their last 12 matches.
- Only 1 loss at home v top 11 was v Bayern Munich. A chance today?
- Only 2 0-0's at halftime at home.
- 8 goals conceded at home last 15 mins of matches.
FC Koln
- Only 3 wins in 15 matches.
- No 0-0 at halftime in their last 8 matches.
- V teams below them away, 4 draws, 2 wins and a loss.
- 3 0-0's at halftime away.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Lay the 0-0 halftime score. A hope this is not a 0-0 like last time - that is possible given the survival mode the HOFF are in but I hope form will out.
- Hoffenheim are winning at the right time now and could extricate themselves from relegation. They have a chance today. Koln have had to 'score one more than you' in recent head to heads.
- I would lay Koln today if Koln scored first.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:30pm - Sevilla v Sociedad - 1.7 home
Standout Stats

- 3 losses in their last 4 matches.
- All defeats away to top 6.
- Only 2 0-0's at halftime away.
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Sevilla continue to excel at home and should be trusted not to lose today if Sociedad score. If Sevilla win, they expect them to score 2+ goals.
- Lay the 0-0 halftime score but do delay entry (based on Sociedad).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:45pm - Inter v Torino - 1.87 home
Standout Stats
- 0-0, 0-1 Torino and 0-1 Inter in the last 3 head to heads.
- This is 5th v 14th in Italian Seria A.
Inter
- 4 match home winning streak.
- No defeat in 5 at home.
- Scored in their last 5 at home and conceded last 3 at home.
- Scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 matches.
- Failed to score in only 4 matches.
- All defeats this season v top 8 teams.
- 8 1-0 wins this season outside the top 8.
- 8 0-0's at halftime at home - 53% of matches.
- 15 of 21 goals scored at home came 2nd half.
- Scored first in 11/15 at home.
Torino
- No win in 5 matches.
- Conceded in their last 7 away matches.

- 7 defeats and a 1-1 draw away v top 12 teams.
- 10 matches at halftime either 1-0 or 0-0.
Profitable In-Play oOportunities
- Torino are yet to beat any top 12 team away-and there is nothing to say this will change today. I would be with Inter Milan today but they tread a dangerous course with those 1-0's, particularly now that Inter have scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 matches.
- If Torino score first, form wise they should not win so watch out for that. They tend to lose in fact away v teams above them in the league.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
