It will be a fantastic weekend of football ahead of us as for the sixth round of the Premier League we have cracking games. Arsenal will take on Chelsea and Manchester United will host Tottenham at Craven Cottage. Chelsea are currently top of the league and they reached that position by having an impressive run of victories. Although they also had a disappointing draw against QPR they managed to score points weeks in and weeks out even tough their main concern is that their defence looks shaky and the attack is not totally convincing yet.

Football Betting – Serie A – Will Stramaccioni succeed in bringing Inter Milan back at the top?
25 SepMoratti’s decision to promote a young coach as Stramaccioni to the first team was a gamble, but it made sense if you consider that after winning everything Inter Milan have started to focus on youths. What better, then, that a youth coach like Stramaccioni who was able to win everything with the youth side? Moreover, the same choice was also made by Barcelona who preferred a domestic solution like Tito Villanova to a coach with a different football culture.
Champions League Winner Market
16 SepThis week another Champions League season drama will start and we have had a look at the clubs to understand where to put the money in the winning market.
Manchester United
Even if they surrendered the 2011/12 Premier League to their bitter rivals, Manchester United are not famous to have failing seasons and they have worked hard during the summer to bounce back immediately. In order to do so they have strengthen their squad with the signing of Robin Van Persie and Shinji Kagawa so Alex Ferguson will be expecting nothing less than a glorious success this time out. United can be backed at 11.00.
Real Madrid
Any side with the players that Real Madrid have can only have the objective of winning the Champions League. From the uber-experienced Casillas to a very solid back four through the talented midfield and the top attack, they have what it takes to win against anyone. They have started the new season very badly tough and are already 8 points behind Barcelona but this could mean that they may focus even more resources towards the Champions League. Los Blancos can be backed at 5.40.
ManchesterCity
Despite spending heavily and having won the domestic title last season we still think that they don’t have enough experience to win at international level. Throwing money at a squad doesn’t guarantee European Champions League glory and Roman Abramovich knows this very well despite he finally achieved his dream last May in strange circumstances. I think ManchesterCity won’t go farer than the last eight. If you think they can win than you can back them at 11.00
Barcelona
Even if I do understand why the price for the Catalans to win at 3.55 I think that they may have some problems when they will face top teams towards the last part of the competition. Also, many of their players have won everything and may feel a bit tired considering that they have never stopped in more than 1 year having played the Euro this summer. Also Tito Vilanova is not experienced and this could cause problems down the line when top games will come around (see Spanish Super Cup).
Bayern Munich
They are priced at 13.00 and it is not surprising as the German giants aren’t quite as strong as the top sides. Last year they managed to get to the final but had many things going their way. During the summer they have invested heavily but I think they will focus mostly on the Bundesliga where they have been defeated for two years in a row.

Premier League Betting Tips: 3PM Accumulator
24 AugAston Villa v Everton
Everton have won none of their last 12 Premier League encounter against Aston Villa however should we really make any thing out of those stats? For once I’m not concerned considering that eight of those 12 games resulted in a draw and that Everton will be fully confident after beating title hopeful Manchester United in their home debut last Monday.
Premier League Betting: QPR to be Relegated
22 AugIf you are a QPR fan then it is better that you look away now. After Fulham and Swansea managed to win 5-0 in the opening day of the 2012/13 Premier league the relegation market has been immediately affected by that with some pretty sensible changes to odds. Usually it is not advisable to make decision based on a single match however in QPR case the market has really reacted considering that the humiliation came at home against one of the direct competitors to avoid the drop.
