Pool To Get Back On The Winning Track

Pick From England

Wigan - Liverpool
Saturday, 29 September
Kick off: 15:00 BST

Prediction: Pool to win

The odds:

in Decimal 1.57
Bwin in Decimal 1.60

The verdict:
If you look for a single game in England that can bring back for you a pretty good profit bet on this one. I admit that 1.60 is not that tasty for everyone but here you have more than 98 % of chance to win 50 % on your stakes.
The mighty Liverpool recorded 2 draws against Porto in CL and Pompey at home and now it is really time for a convincing win if Rafa wants to keep his place worm and cosy, and see his team in real battle for top place in the league. Arsenal are unexpected competitor for top 3 now and Liverpool should improve the performance earlier in order to keep the same tempo as Gunners and Man United.
Gerrard and Torres are back and I can not see Wigan stopping them even with their tradionally confident performance at home. 1.57 looks fair to me and I will go gor Liverpool to take the win on a road.

Everton v Manchester United

Pick From England

Everton - Man U
Saturday, 15 September
Kick off: 12:00 BST

Prediction: United to win
WON - 1:0
The odds:

in Decimal 1.80
Bwin in Decimal 1.75

The verdict:
Everton did a great start of the season and they need just a point to go top. But I am sure they will find it very difficult against United in this north derby. On my opinion, United have already used their overall credit of possible points dropping for the whole first half of the season after more than disappointing start adn need to show finally some major improvement on the pitch. Plus for them is the returning of Ronaldo. Everton are unbeaten at home in the Premier League; Manchester United yet to win away from home - everything suits perfect. So take this generous 1.80 award by bet365 and enjoy the game.

England To Try Their Best Against South Africa

Ok, big game! Two of the World Cup giants are facing each other in a battle for the top spot in Group A. And it won't be a major surprise if any of these two grab the win here. It is true that England performed so bad on the start against part-timers USA but still managed to beat them. But it is also to be considered that England always enter such a big games as the one with South Africa highly motivated and concentrated - so, may be, the comparison with USA game is not that significant. In that way of thinking the fact that bet-at-home offers 5,00 for England win seems pretty tempting to me.

Pick: England to beat South Africa
Odds:
6.50 offered y bet365 today
bet-at-home offers 5,00

I know that odds arround 6,50 sounds like madness to take but do not forget that England are in fact the current title holders and will do their best to defend the position. Olly Barkley has been ruled out of England's squad after failing to recover from an injury. Mike Catt, who turns 36 next week, will remain at inside centre and will offer kicking cover. Former skipper Martin Corry will take over the captaincy in the absence of suspended Phil Vickery.

Rugby, World Cup: Ireland To Smash Namibia

...and that won't be any kind of surprise while most of the bookies give around 1,01 for fix betting on this game if you want to take Ireland (if you want to try Namibia you are probably completely out of your mind). For example, bet-at-home offers 1,01 for win for all of the major favourites today among the World Cup coupon - Wales, South Africa, Scotland and Ireland - even you combine all these 4 still it is not worthy enough to risk your money (specially when you have Canada really motivated, and backed up with some good history also, to show some nice piece of rugby against Wales).
That is why I will take a bit risky game and try the handicap of bet365 on Ireland - Namibia game.

Pick: Ireland to beat Namibia, Ireland -70
Odds: 1.90 offered y bet365 today
LOST
I admit that Ireland are not in their best shape even welcoming back their influential captain Brian O'Driscoll who is fit again for the opening of this World Cup campaign of his team. But what is really important is that they have two games in hand for a kind of warming up against Namibia and Georgia, before facing the giants France and Argentina. A runaway victory would give Ireland a significant boost and place them top of the Pool D table after Argentina's tight win over France in Paris last night. That is why I think they will play highly motivated and really need this confidence ahead of the top games in the group. 70 points are not that much, specially if you expected Namibia to collect no more than 5.

Halifax To Send Stafford To The Bottom

Pick From England

Stafford - Halifax
Thursday, 6 September
Kick off: 7:45 BST

Prediction: Away win
WON 2:3
The odds:

in Decimal 2.40
Bwin in Decimal 2.50

The verdict:
On tonight televised game (Setanta) we will see Stafford welcomes Halifax in an attempt of improving their form and going up in the table. The only point Stafford collect was the 1:1 draw with Altrincham at home and despite the fact it is really time for this team to show some nice football I will go for the visitors here. Chris Wilder's men will be looking to follow up on some recent good form with a first away victory of the season. They won 3:2 at that stadium last year and this season look even stronger. Halifax are travelling to Stafford after solid performance in 1:1 draw with League favourites Oxford.
