Weekend Football Tips 30.01.10

English Premier League
West Ham have a tremendous home record against Blackburn, who are dreadful on their travels again this season. I'm expecting another home win for them today and at odds-against I will take my chances.

It's been hard to predict which Wigan side will turn up week after week. They're currently in a rut and a good performance has been beyond them. Everton are in form and are at a good price of 13/10 today.

Burnley may have a tremendous home record this season but they are on a bad run at the moment and face high-flying Chelsea. Brian Laws has yet to see his Burnley side score which makes Chelsea to win to nil a good value bet for this one.

English Championship
Cardiff coming off a 6-0 victory at Bristol midweek, while Doncaster who thrashed 4-1 at home by Middlesbrough. There's good odds on the Welsh side to win again this weekend.

I think Leicester are overrated. Newcastle's odds are too big to ignore in the evening kickoff.

English League One
Gillingham shouldn't be odds-against at home to Walsall, despite going through a poor patch. This is a game they can turn their form around. Walsall are on a bad run themselves.

English League Two
Aldershot are very good at home and today they face a Grimsby side who are drifting out of the football league.

Port Vale are on a good run and I cannot find a reason why their odds are so good at home to a struggling Hereford side.

Weekend Football Tips 16.01.10

English Premier League
Stoke City are a popular bet today and it's easy to see why with Liverpool's current problems. They are 11/4 to beat Liverpool today, or you could take Barrie's approach and take it safe with a double chance; Stoke win or draw at 8/11.

Manchester United come up against another debuting manager again today. This time it is Brian Laws in charge of a sinking Burnley ship. Manchester United thrashed Wigan at home recently, what's to stop them from doing the same against Burnley today? 1/6 to win is low odds but a dead cert. You can United at 3/1 to win this gameby 4 goals or more. Or how about Antonio Valencia to score anytime at 5/2 - he's scored 4 in his last 6 home games.

Carlos Tevez is a man in form. Can Everton stop him from scoring again? Tevez is 11/5 to score anytime today, while Manchester City are a nice 13/8 to win at Everton. I can also see a few goals in this game, so over 2.5 goals at evens is worth a shout.

Aston Villa are competing for the top 4, while West Ham are in the bottom 4. The home side are 4/7 ahead of tomorrow's game.

Arsenal are playing well of late and Bolton have just installed a manager. Arsene Wenger has said Cesc Fabregas is ready to play which surprises me why the odds are so good. Arsenal are 8/13 to beat Bolton.

English Championship
While Reading beat Liverpool in the cup, they're not playing well in the league. Expect a cup hangover today and for flying Nottingham Forest to beat them at 4/6.

English Football League One
Leeds are the safe bet in this division and are 7/10 today at Exeter.

Norwich City are in form and are a value bet at Colchester today, 17/10 to win.

Next Burnley Manager

With Owen Coyle set to move to Bolton Wanderers any day soon, Burnley are looking to find a replacement.  Paul Lambert is red hot favourite to join his 3rd different team already this season, having moved from Colchester United to Norwich City in August.  I can't see the job going to the next two favourites on the list; Paul Jewell and Brian Laws, so it's a case of back the favourite here.

Paul Lambert 1/1 Skybet
Paul Jewell 5/1 Paddy Power
Brian Laws 6/1 Skybet
Steve Davis 8/1 Skybet
Steve Coppell 12/1 Skybet
Mike Phelan 12/1 Paddy Power
Alan Curbishley 14/1 Skybet
