English Premier League
20:00 – Everton v Crystal Palace – 1.65 Everton
- 3 losses, 3 draws, 1 loss recently for an Everton failing to score in 4 of their last 5 matches. And you want me to back them at 1.65 odds? Right!
- 2 consecutive home draws v Aston Villa and Tottenham are impressive enough given the opponents.
- 18th v 16th, this is a relegation six pointer. Everton have only played one of 14th and lower at home, a loss v 17th. They have beaten 14th, 15th, 16th, 19th away – does that count for anything?
- 2-3 win last head to head.
- 6 0-0’s at halftime at home, only 1 at fulltime.
- 3 consecutive away defeats for Palace conceding 5-2-4-3 goals last 4 matches.
- They have scored and conceded in 8 of their last 9 matches, winning 2 at home.
- No win in 6 away, they have conceded in their last 13 overall.
- 3/3 wins v 19th and 20th. How about 18th?
- Angles? Relegation six pointer so be ware. Palace do score and concede lately. I like Everton’s consistent winning form away v 14th and lower. Surely that can be replicated with home advantage?
- Lay any 2nd half 0-0/draw. Palace are conceding heavily of late, their manager is ill, and key strikers such as Eze are out. A good time for Everton to end a woeful winless run?
Spanish La Liga Primera
20:00 – Athletic Bilbao v Girona – 1.83 Athletic Bilbao
- 6 consecutive home wins for Athletic Bilbao, unbeaten in 11 at home, scoring in those 11. 2+ goals scored last 2 at home, a solid foundation in meeting a top 2 side.
- 5th v 2nd, 1-1 last head to head. No win in 3 v the top 3 , did beat 4th, 6th, 7th and 9th at home.
- Only 2 defeats for Girona came v Real Madrid, the only side to beat Athletic at home this season.
- 4/4 draws v 5th to 7th home or away.
- Angles? Ask Barcelona, it is foolish to discount a Girona side who have only lost to Real Madrid, the only side to beat Athletic Bilbao at home. It’s too tight for me to side with Athletic and wholly discount Girona. Both sides tend to go unbeaten outside of Real Madrid. Girona do draw v 5th to 7th. Can we lay Girona if Girona score first?
