5:30pm - Rapid Vienna v Mattersburg - 1.36 home - Over 2.5 goals is a huge stat here. Play overs if 0-0 at halftime.

Standout Stats

  • 2-4 Mattersburg and 1-6 Rapid Vienna in the last 2 head to heads.
  • This is 1st v 6th in the Austrian Bundesliga.

Profitable In-Play Opportunities

Leverkusen

7pm - SV Darmstadt v Dortmund - 1.43 away - Struggles v the Hoff but play a team with only 3 wins in 14, Dortmund should win.

8pm - Man Utd v Watford - 1.69 home - 6 goals in 2 home matches for Man Utd - "Ian"Rushford the man of the moment to out score Watford?

Standout Stats

  • This is 5th v 10th in the English Premiership.

Man Utd

  • Top 4 is still on for United after that Arsenal win.

  • United have now scored 3 goals in each of their last 2 home matches. I would expect a United win, now they have a sniff at a top 4 spot.
  • Back United if Watford score first.
  • Lay Watford in the halftime market if Watford score first  in the first half.
