19.01.2015

AS Nancy - US Orléans (France, Ligue 2)
Pick: 1
Confidence:9/10
Odds: 1.83 (bwin)

Head to Head
No matches in the last 5 seasons

Preview:
Nancy lost their last 4 matches in all competitions and also lost 5 successive league games. They are now 8 points behind the third place which gives promotion to the top flight. At the same time Nancy are just 7 points above the relegation zone which means that failing to end the bad results could end in involvement in the relegation battle. Their current row of defeats is the worst since September 2012. The newcomers Orleans won 5 points less and also their last away match to Nimes after being in 6 successive away league matches without a victory.

Markets:
The home odds are going down big everywhere.

18.01.2015

Feyenoord - FC Twente (Holland, Eredivisie)
Pick: 1
Confidence:7/10
Odds: 1.72 (bwin)

Head to Head
11-08-13 Feyenoord – Twente 1-3
27-01-13 Feyenoord – Twente 0-0
18-12-11 Feyenoord – Twente 3-2
16-10-10 Feyenoord – Twente 0-1
24-03-10 Feyenoord – Twente 2-1

Probable lineups
Feyenoord (4-3-3): Vermeer – Karsdorp, Van Beek, Kongolo, Nelom – Clasie, Immers, Vilhena – Toornstra, Boetius, Kazim-Richards
Twente (4-3-3): Stevens – Martina, Bengtsson, Bjelland, Schilder – Ziyech, Ebecilio, Makotjo – Mokhtar, Corona, Castaignos

Injured & Suspended
Feyenoord: Manu (f, 15, 3)
Twente: Tapia (m, 4, 0), Eghan (m, 4, 1)

Preview:
Feyenoord is adrift by whole 15 points from the leaders PSV Eindhoven and has no chances to catch them in the title race. It is clear they can’t replace the transferred to Southampton striker Graziano Pelle. But Feyenoord won 8 and drew one of their last 9 home matches and will try to start the year in style after good preparations in Dubai. Twente has strange season so far, being far from solid, mainly against the strong teams. But good news is that their main striker Castaingnos is recovered from injured. This will not help them though.

Markets:
Feyenoord has been slightly decreased in the positioning but it is interesting their odds dropped big.

17.01.2015

Norwich City - Cardiff City (England, Skybet Championship)
Pick: 1
Odds: 1.57 (bet365)

Head to Head
26-10-13 Norwich – Cardiff 0-0
15-01-11 Norwich – Cardiff 1-1
10-03-09 Norwich – Cardiff 2-0

Probable lineups
Norwich (4-2-3-1): Ruddy – M. Olsson, Turner, Whittaker, Martin – O’Neal, Johnson – Hoolahan, Hooper, Redmond – Jerome
Cardiff (4-4-2): Marshall – Brayford, Turner, Morrison, Malone – Adeyemi, Gunnarson, Whittingham, Noone – Jones, Le Fondre

Injured & Suspended
Norwich: R. Bennett (d, 4, 0)
Cardiff: Manga (d, 12, 1)

Preview:
The new Norwich manager Alex Neil had an impressive debut with a 2-1 away victory over Bornemouth after his arrival from Hamilton. The 33-year old Scott will make his home debut today and could count on Spanish striker Carlos Cuellar who is recovered from injury. Cardiff will be without their left defender Manga who is in Africa with his national team. The visitors won only one of their last 10 away matches in all competitions.

Markets:
Norwich has been decreased by 40% in the positioning due to successful debut of their new manager and dropped solid after opening of the market.

15.01.2015

Hapoel Rishon Lezion - Hapoel Tel Aviv (Israel, State Cup)
Pick: 2
Confidence:7/10
Odds: 1.8 (Paddy Power)

Head to Head
12-03-13 Hapoel Rishon Lezion – Hapoel Tel-Aviv 1-0
11-02-12 Hapoel Rishon Lezion – Hapoel Tel-Aviv 1-2

Preview:
Two years ago the second division Hapoel Rishon Lezion had knocked out their glorious opponent from the same competition and it was one of their very rare victories against such a team. The visitors are one of the two biggest clubs in Israel, but are very mediocre team in the league this season. The cup is the only chance for a trophy but in the last two seasons they failed at the first hurdle which is also a rare fact. The home side Hapoel Rishon Lezion plays one league below capital team and their results are not impressive at all.

Markets:
The away odds started to drop without a serious risk being accumulated so far.

14.01.2015

Getafe CF - UD Almería (Spain, Copa del Rey)
Pick: 1
Confidence:8/10
Odds: 1.91 (bwin)

Head to Head
29-08-14 Getafe – Almeria 1-0
23-08-13 Getafe – Almeria 2-2
07-05-11 Getafe – Almeria 2-0
14-02-10 Getafe – Almeria 2-2

Probable lineups
Getafe (4-2-3-1): Codina – Arroyo,Vigaray, Velazquez, Escudero – Alexis, Mbaka – Yoda, Sarabia, Milla – Emi
Almeria (4-2-3-1): Julian – Macedo, Marin, Dos Santos, Mane – Thomas, Azeez – Silva, Espinosa, Sanchez – Teerasil

Preview:
With 1-1 in the first leg, Getafe is clear favourite to go through due to their home advantage. Getafe won just a point more than Almeria in the league and both teams are part of the relegation battle. The league seems a priority for Almeria after Spanish daily “Marca” predict they will use just 3 first choice players – central defender Dos Santos and two defensive midfielders Thomas and Azeez. Almeria are not that good team to afford so many changes without suffering.

Markets:
A solid drop of the home odds backed with low positions of the bookies with local market in Spain.

13.01.2015

Levante UD - Málaga CF (Spain, Copa del Rey)
Pick: 2 (DNB)
Confidence:6/10
Odds: 1.66 (Unibet)

Head to Head
12-01-14 Levante – Malaga 1-0
09-02-13 Levante – Malaga 1-2
16-10-11 Levante – Malaga 3-0
03-04-11 Levante – Malaga 3-1
13-08-09 Levante – Malaga 1-0

Probable lineups
Levante (4-2-3-1): Jesus – Lopez, Rodas, Juanfran, Tono – Adoua, Camarasa – Xumetra, Zhar, Gavilan – Martins
Malaga (4-2-3-1): Ochoa – Rozales, Angeleri, Torres, Antunes – Recio, Juanpi – Samuel, Alberto, Horta – Juanmi

Preview:
Malaga won 2-0 in the first leg and in 3 consecutive matches against Levante kept a clean sheet. The home side maybe wrote off their chances after they decided to play with reserve players today according to Spanish newspaper “Marca”. Only the defensive midfielder Camarsa could be considered as a player from the starting eleven. Malaga will make small chances and will not risk slipping their advantage. We can’t see them losing the match under these circumstances.

Markets:
Big bets on Malaga after it was clear Levante will use reserves. Even the away odds are dropping big, we don’t recommend to bet on the clear away win because the draw will be good enough for Malaga either.

11.01.2015

Lecce - Lupa Roma FC (Italy, Lega Pro 1 Divisione)
Pick: 1
Confidence:9/10
Odds: 1.53 (Paddy Power)

Head to Head
No matches in the last 5 seasons

Probable lineups
Lecce (4-4-2): Caglioni – Martinez, Vinetot, Abruzzese, Lopes – Lepore, Papini, Sacilotto, Doumbia – Moscardelli, Miccoli
Lupa Roma (4-3-3): Rossi – Frabotta, Kascone, Conson, Celli – Capodaglio, Raffaelo, Cerrai – Bariti, Testardi, Del Sorbo

Injured & Suspended
Lecce: Mannini (m, 16, 0), Diniz (d, 1, 0), Rosafio (f, 5, 0), D’Ambrosio (d, 2, 0)
Lupa Roma: Felipe Curcio (m, 0, 0)

Preview:
Lecce won just one point in their last 4 matches and is now sixth in the promotion race. It was not a good start for the new Lecce coach Dino Pagliari. The visitors won only once in 13 matches from all competition and Lecce should return to the winning way in this match. The capital team is without their new player – Brazilian Felipe Curcio.

Markets:
The big decrease on the home odds tells all.

10.01.2015

Al Masry - Al Ahly Cairo (Egypt, Premier)
Pick: 2
Odds: 1.7 (bwin)

Head to Head
01-02-12 Al Masry – Al Ahly 3-1
29-04-11 Al Masry – Al Ahly 0-0
16-09-09 Al Masry – Al Ahly 1-1

Preview:
Al Ahly won their last 2 matches and wiped some bad memories of their 1-4 home defeat in the hands of Al Ittihad on December 24. Now they have 4 games in hand compared to their eternal rival Zamalek but also 13 points less. The simple calculation show that if Al Ahly wants to compete for the title, they need a series of victories. Al Masry are traditionally tough opponent for them, but now lost their last w home matches. It is the moment for Al Ahly to win at Suez!

Markets:
There is still no big interest to the away win, but enough for the bookies to drop huge the Al Ahly odds.

05.01.2015 Bala Town - Newtown AFC - 1 - WON!

09.01.2015

CA Bastia - SAS Épinal (France, National)
Pick: 1
Odds: 1.55 (bwin)

Head to Head
26-01-13 CA Bastia – Epinal 2-1

Preview:
CA Bastia won only one of their last 12 matches and are just above the relegation zone with 5 points more than Le Poire-sur-Vie. But Le Poire-sur-Vie has two matches in hand. The home clash against bottom of the table Epinal is absolutely crucial for CA Bastia in the battle for survival.

Markets:
There are bookies (Sportingbet) who dropped the home odds many times with total of 65% in just one day

05.01.2015

Bala Town - Newtown AFC (Wales, Premier)
Pick: 1
Confidence:8/10
Odds: 1.5 (bwin)

Head to Head
14-09-13 Bala Town – Newtown 1-0
08-02-13 Bala Town – Newtown 3-1
17-08-12 Bala Town – Newtown 4-4
28-10-11 Bala Town – Newtown 2-2
04-03-11 Bala Town – Newtown 0-2

Preview:
Bala Town won their last 6 matches in all competition and looks like the most probable rival of TNS in the title race.

Markets:
A very serious drop of the home odds after big decreasen on Bala in the positioning.

04.01.2015

Nuneaton - Bristol Rovers (England, The Skrill Premier Conference)
Pick: 2
Confidence:7/10
Odds: 1.6 (BetVictor)

Head to Head
No matches in the last 5 seasons

Preview:
Bristol Rovers is unbeaten in 12 league matches and also in their last 10 trips since September 6. They are chasing a return to the Football League and are 9 points behind the leaders Barnet. Nuneaton, which is second from bottom, won only one of their recent 8 matches.

Markets:
Bristol Rovers has been heavy decreased in the positioning (40%). The odds on them were dropping all Saturday and bookies chose different strategies – some of them dropping odds in big steps and some with small steps but more often. It all means there was constant risk accumulating on the away win and today there are some sure bets being made also.

3.01.2015

Charlton Athletic - Blackburn Rovers (England, FA Cup)
Pick: 2 (DNB)
Confidence:7/10
Odds: 1.62 (BetVictor)

Head to Head
26-04-14 Charlton – Blackburn 1-3
29-09-12 Charlton – Blackburn 1-1

Probable lineups
Charlton (4-4-2): Etheridge – Ben Haim, Bikey, Sollym, Gomez – Buyens, Jackson, Gudmundsson, Cousins – Tucudean, Vetokele
Blackburn (4-4-2): Steele – Duffy, Hanley, Henley, Olsson – Marshall, Cairney, Evans, Tunnicliff – Rhodes, King

Injured & Suspended
Charlton: Henderson (g, 15, 0), Wiggins (d, 15, 0), Moussa (m, 14, 1), Harriott (m, 14, 1)
Blackburn: Lowe (m, 7, 0)

Preview:
Blackburn won 2-0 against Charlton at home on December 20 and now will have a big advantage too. The visitors have no injury problems and Charlton is missing 4 important players. Also their defender Onyewu is a big doubt. The teams have different results recently in the cup. Charlton lost only one of their last 10 home ties in the competition and at the same time Blacbburn failed to score in 3 of the last 4 cup matches. But Charlton is in a bad form with 7 matches without a victory so we prefer to back the visitors here.

Markets:
There was an early big drop of the away odds which now are going in different directions as many bettors started to make sure bets.

02.01.2015

Bangor City - Bala Town (Wales, Premier)
Pick: 2
Odds: 1.62 (bwin)

Head to Head
26-12-13 Bangor City – Bala Town 4-2
11-05-13 Bangor City – Bala Town 2-4
05-10-12 Bangor City – Bala Town 5-0
06-04-12 Bangor City – Bala Town 4-2
09-12-11 Bangor City – Bala Town 2-1

Preview:
Bala Town won 9 of their last 11 matches in all competitions and have 3 matches in had compared to the second and third of the table, Aberystwyth and Airbus UK. They will chase a place in Europe and bottom of the table Bangor City is a team, which victory is a must against despite their big name.

Markets:
A low number of betting objects today suggest this could be a popular choice, but bettor’s attention will be turned mainly on the English FA Cup matches.

30.12.2014

Derby County - Leeds United (England, Skybet Championship)
Pick: 1
Confidence:8/10
Odds: 1.5 (bet365)

Head to Head
05-10-13 Derby County – Leeds 3-1
08-12-12 Derby County – Leeds 3-1
26-12-11 Derby County – Leeds 1-0
12-04-11 Derby County – Leeds 2-1

Probable lineups
Derby (4-4-2): Grant – Keogh, Shotton, Forsyth, Christie – Eustace, Hendrick, Ibe, Hughes – Russell, Martin
Leeds (4-4-2): Silvestri – Warnock, Bellusci, Cooper, Byram – Tonge, Bianchi, Mowatt, Cook – Sharp, Antenucci

Injured & Suspended
Derby: Whitebread (d, 6, 0), Ward (f, 12, 5)
Leeds: no

Preview:
Only Wigan won 3 points away to Derby this season in the league. The Rams are chasing direct promotion and the good results around Christmas and New Year are a must for it. After trashing Birmingham 4-0 away in their last match, Derby will try to take a revenge for the 0-2 defeat against Leeds on November 29 which was the last victory of the visitors so far.

Markets:
The small number of betting object today will mean here bookies will accumulate risk and it was a reason for big early drop on Derby.

27.12.2014

Motherwell FC - Partick Thistle (Scotland, Premiership)
Pick: 2
Confidence:4/10
Odds: 2.45 (BetVictor)

Head to Head
15-02-14 Motherwell – Partick 4-3
24-08-13 Motherwell – Partick 1-0
13-07-11 Motherwell – Partick 1-0

Probable lineups
Motherwell (4-4-2): Twardzik – Kerr, O’Brien, McManus, Francis-Angol – Lasley, Ainsworth, Erwin, Law – Sutton, Ojamaa
Partick (4-4-2): Gallacher – O’Donnell, Muirhead, Balatoni, McMillan – Bannigan, Fraser, Craigen, Osman – Stevenson, Higginbotham

Injured & Suspended
Motherwell: Lawson (m, 3, 0), Vigurs (m, 11, 2), Leitch (m, 6, 0), McHugh (f, 4, 0)
Partick: Frans (d, 3, 0)

Preview:
Motherwell has been lucky to take the 3 points away to Saint Mirren in the last round and is staying away from troubles so far. To escape relegation is the only aim this season due to the huge financial difficulties they have. At the same time Partick is unbeaten in 3 matches and was unlucky to miss the victory at home to Dundee in the last minute of their most recent match. There is a big value in the away win as it is time Motherwell’s luck to end.

Markets:
Partick can’t be favourite here from statistical point of view but the reason for it is the current situation in Motherwell. The visitors have been decreased by 66% in the positioning and take a big part of the attention of the bettors today.

25.12.2014

Trabzonspor - Manisaspor (Turkiye Kupasi)

07-02-10 Trabzonspor – Manisa 3-0

Manisa: Murat, Kudret, Tayfun, Süleyman, Metin, Melih, Oğuzhan, Kaan, İsmail, Oktay, Subiasic

Preview:
After two draws in the group so far, it is time Trabzonspor to take a victory.

Markets:
We have a solid drop of the home odds and low positions of the bookies with a local risk.

24.12.2014

Al Ahly Cairo - Ittihad Alexandria (Egypt, Premier)
Pick: 1
Confidence:8/10
Odds: 1.57 (bet365)

Head to Head
11-02-14 Al Ahly – Al Ittihad 0-0
12-05-11 Al Ahly – Al Ittihad 1-0
11-04-10 Al Ahly – Al Ittihad 1-0

Preview:
This is the first of the 3 rescheduled matches which Al Ahly will play. Nine points from them will mean the biggest club in Egypt is back in the title race.

Markets:
There was a big value in the opening odds on Al Ahly and it is the reason for the big drop so far.

21.12.2014

CS Emelec - Barcelona Guayaquil (Ecuador, Campeonato Serie A)
Pick: 1
Confidence:7/10
Odds: 1.95 (BetVictor)

Barcelona (4-4-2): Maximum Banguerra; Pedro Pablo Velasco, Franco Peppino, Luis Checa, Giovanny Nazarene; Alex Bolaños, Matias Oyola, Michael Jackson Quinonez, Cristian Suárez; Ismael Blanco and Alex Ayoví.

Preview:
This is the second leg of the championship title after 1-1 on Wednesday. The match is called “Clasico del Astillero”or “Derby of the Shipyard” and it is a fierce clash in Ecuador biggest city. There will be no away fans and it will be a huge advantage of Emelec to try to retain the title.

Markets:
There is a very big drop of the home odds so far even the biggest activity at the market will be in the evening.

16.12.2014

VVV Venlo - PEC Zwolle (Holland, KNVB Beker)
Pick: 2
Odds: 1.62 (Paddy Power)

Head to Head
12-04-13 VVV – Zwolle 0-2
29-05-11 VVV – Zwolle 2-2

Preview:
Zwolle will search their ninth successive victory in the competition and will defend their trophy from the last season, won with 5-1 destroying of Ajax in the final. It is interesting that Zwolle is very prolific in this competition scoring at least two goals in every match during the last two season. In 6 of these 8 matches they have scored at least 3 goals. Venlo is one league behind and last season has been doubled by Zwolle.

Markets:
Bookies consider this as a banker according to their moves on Zwolle odds since positioning to now.

15.12.2014

Cremonese - Aurora Pro Patria (Italy, Lega Pro 1 Divisione)
Pick: 1
Odds: 1.65 (Unibet)

Head to Head
05-01-14 Cremonese – Pro Patria 1-0
27-11-13 Cremonese – Pro Patria 2-0
01-11-09 Cremonese – Pro Patria 4-1

Probable lineups
Cremonese (3-4-3): Galli – Palomeque, Marchi, Favalli – Gambaretti, Palermo, Jadid, Castellini – Di Francesco, Brighenti, Kirilov
Pro Patria (4-3-3): Melillo – Guglielmotti, Botturi, Anderson, Taino – Bovi, Cannoni, Romeo – Giorno, Serafini, Candido

Preview:
Cremonese won two matches and drew one of their last 3 which helped them climb up above the relegation zone, which they are 3 points adrift from. Their opponent Pro Patria is there, but they are unbeaten in the last 3 away matches. But Pro Patria has a very negative tradition away to Cremonese.

Markets:
The fair openings odds didn’t stay on the pressure from bettors who see in the Cremonese victory one of the day’s easy bets.

14.12.2014

FC Porto - SL Benfica (Portugal, Primeira Liga)
Pick: 1
Odds: 1.86 (188Bet)

Head to Head

26-03-14 Porto – Benfica 1-0
11-05-13 Porto – Benfica 2-1
23-09-11 Porto – Benfica 2-2

Probable lineups
Porto (4-3-3): Fabiano – Danilo, Maicon, Martins Indi, Alex Sandro – Oliver Torres, Casemiro, Herrera – Tello, Jackson, Brahimi
Benfica (4-4-2): Julio Cesar – Maxi Pereira, Luisao, Jardel, Andre Almeida – Salvio, Enzo Perez, Samaris, Gaitan – Jonas, Talisca

Injured & Suspended
Porto: Ruben Neves (M, 9, 1), Otavinho (M, 0, 0)
Benfica: Eliseu(D, 8, 2), Ruben Amorim (M, 2, 0), Fejsa (M, 0, 0)

Preview:
Porto could go equal on points with Benfica at the top if they win today. Porto failed to win only against the neighbors Boavista at their Estadio do Dragao this season and also they won twice and drew once (in the League Cup) at home to Benfica in 2014. Certainly Benfica still remember how they lost the title here in the last minute in 2013.

Markets:
There was unexpected big decrease of Porto in the positioning due to the tradition between these two. But there is a solid risk accumulated on the home win already.

13.12.2014

Motherwell FC - Ross County (Scotland, Premiership)
Pick: 2
Confidence:4/10
Odds: 3.2 (Paddy Power)

Head to Head
22-03-14 Motherwell – Ross County 2-1
28-09-13 Motherwell – Ross County 3-1
12-05-13 Motherwell – Ross County 2-0
08-12-12 Motherwell – Ross County 3-2

Preview:
Motherwell will be overseen once again by caretaker manager Kenny Black for Saturday's meeting with Ross County. The Fir Park club are nearing the appointment of a new manager but Black will be in the dugout this weekend. Also the news are that Supporter’s Trust will take over Motherwell after meeting with the current owner on Friday and all these problem will have an impact on the clash with Ross County. County's Liam Boyce is suspended for the trip to Fir Park following his red card against Dundee United. Slovakian playmaker Filip Kiss could return after shaking off a thigh strain but Ben Frempah, Rocco Quinn and Darren Barr remain out.

Markets:
Motherwell are favourite but the risk is on the away win due to the problems in the home club.

12.12.2014

US Orléans - Angers SCO (France, Ligue 2)
Pick: 1
Odds: 2.4 (BetVictor)

Head to Head
No matches in the last 5 seasons

Preview:
Orleans won just one of their last 6 home games which is the reason to be just above the relegation zone. Angers is a team with equal class but weak travelers. They won only once away from home in 15 outings.

Markets:
Pretty big drop of the home odds which is a result of the value they had with opening of the market.

9.12.2014

Zenit (4-2-3-1): Lodygin; Smolnikov, Garay, Lombaerts, Criscito; Witsel, Javi García; Fayzulin, Shatov, Danny; Hulk

Injured & Suspended
Monaco: Carvalho (D, 13, 0), Kondogbia (M, 11, 1), Kurzawa (D, 10, 0)
Zenit: Kerzhakov (F, 10, 3)

Preview:
Zenit need only a victory to qualify and the experience of the Russia team could be crucial here. At the same time Monaco will be cautious so the home victory is the least possible outcome.

Markets:
Bookies are too cautios to the away win which leads the drops of all outcomes connected to Zenit.

6.12.2014

Preview:
Rennes not only won 4 times in a row but their last defeat was on September 28 against Bordeaux. The Bretagne team looks like a Europe contender but also will chase a place in the Top 3 and Champions League.

Markets:
The home odds have been heavy increased in the positioning which made home win very interesting for the bettors. The result was a big drop, but there still a good value in the Rennes victory.

The fact that Borussia Dortmund is bottom of the table is more than a surprise for a team which is at the same time at knockout stage of the Champions League. Of course we can’t imagine Borussia Dortmund to go down. But more important is if they will play a serious part this season ind if they plan to do it, then it is crucial time to start melting the advantage of the fourth in the table which is 10 points now.

Markets:
The opening odds were fair but started to drop. Bookies consider this as a long term profit after many people lost so far on Borussia Dortmund. So today it is “planned loss”.

Odds: 1.55 (bwin)

Head to Head
05-10-14 Udinese – Cesena 1-1
08-01-12 Udinese – Cesena 4-1
02-10-10 Udinese – Cesena 1-0

Cesena (4-3-1-2): Agliardi; Nica, Capelli, Cazzola, Renzetti; Zè Eduardo, Cascione, Coppola; Brienza; Defrel, Rodriguez.

Preview:
There are many changes in the lineups for both teams. Di Natale is left on the bench for Udinese and they are without a victory in 5 matches. But the visitors from Cesena won their last match in August and have big problems in the league.

FC Nantes - Toulouse FC (France, Ligue 1)
Pick: 1
Odds: 2.35 (bwin)


Head to Head
14-12-13 Nantes – Toulouse 1-2

Probable lineups
Nantes (4-2-3-1): Ré.Riou - I.Cissokho, Vizcarrondo, Djilobodji, Veigneau - Deaux, Hansen - Veretout, Audel, Nkoudou - Schechter

Toulouse: W. Matheus (D, 2, 0), Trejo (M, 13, 0), Roman (M, 0, 0), Aguillar (M, 13, 0)

Preview:
Both teams have ambitions to qualify for Europe. Nantes lost only to Monaco at home this season, but drew the last 4 matches at their stadium. Away only PSG and Marseille have better results. Toulouse is in an awful form losing 4 of their last 5 matches and 9 of their last 11 away games. They have the weakest defense in the league conceding 22 goals. If they want to take something from this match, Toulouse must find a away to stop young Nantes midfielder Veretout who took part in the last 7 goals of his teams – scored 4 and made 3 assists. But Toulouse also miss two important midfielders.

Markets:
The opening home odds were slightly increased due to the many draws Nantes produced at home but layers at the exchange are worried by the home side.

Milton Keynes Dons - Rochdale (England, Skybet League 1)
Pick: 1
Odds: 1.75

Head to Head
05-11-11 MK Dons – Rochdale 3-1
18-09-10 MK Dons – Rochdale 1-1

Preview:
MK Dons are without their defender Kyle McFadzean (13 matches, 2 goals), who is suspended and another defender George Baldock (7, 0) is injury doubt. Manager Karl Robinson will make rotation in his squad to cope with the fixtures list. MK Dons have played 3 matches less than the teams above them in the table and with two victories could go top of the table. The Rochdale forward Ian Henderson (15, is returning after suspension, but the visitors will not count on the winger Matty Done (17, 9), who is out after receiving a red card in the weekend. Midfielder Peter Vincenti (12, 6) is still injured, but defender Jack O’Connell (11, 2) is returning.

Markets:
The big decrease on MK Dons in the positioning (108%) proved to be a wise move. The odds went further down with more than 20% and the Asians keep low profile here.
