A member of this site under a different user name in the early days with those great forums. Sadly they had to be closed. Lost interest in betting about 20 years ago , retired from work at 65 and moved to Spain. Got interested in betting again after my wife passed 20 months ago and I found I needed something to fill my time. I am enjoying the challenge of the competitions.

3 of the last 5 meetings have been drawn and both teams tend to score plenty of goals. Dumbarton won 6-2 at Spartans last time but both teams have been getting similar results to each other recently and a draw looks likely.

Surprised this is so short. Villa have most to play for as they battle for a Champions League spot. Liverpool of course never give anything up easily and will want to give Klopp a good send off.

Two teams fighting to avoid relegation. I am sure a club of the stature of Villareal ill not want their B side relegated . Their last away game saw a 3-0 win over 6th placed Gijon and a repeat of that form will see them win here.

Since these teams last met Genk have had three heavy defeats. Genk won that game 2-1 at home . Anderlecht have had a win and two draws against top 5 teams since then and look good to get revenge.

four times in the last six meetings this fixture has ended in a 1-1 draw. Brest have been better than Rrims this season winning 2-1 away . Also Brest have to fight to clinch a Champions League spot for next season.

This is usually a close game but with Brest still fighting for a C.L spot I expect them to be more dominant this time.

The last six head to heads have seen both teams score. Paderborn keep scoring an odd goal at home but are comfortable in mid table. Hamburg still have a chance of getting tha play off spot so have a bit more to play for.

Villa will obviously give this their best effort but I will be surprised if they can turn round a 2 goal deficit. Their efforts however should bring a goal or two.

Often plenty of goals between these teams but usually the home side is dominant. A bit more at stake today and I expect both teams to score and a draw after 90 minutes

A Peterborough win would be the obvious choice but these play off matches often go against the grain and I think a 2-2 draw the most likely outcome.

Hard to see anything other than a home win or Rayo Vallecano here. Almeria are bottom of the league and likely to stay there. I anticipate a 2-0 victory, the same as last year.

Always plenty of goals when these teams meet. 2-1 looks the obvious choice but USG will be keen to show they are capable of winning this league so I pick 3-1.

Both teams have had a dissapointing run recently but hopefully the home crowd can lift Liverpool . Not sure I want to see Salah on the team sheet as he has clearly not been interested since the AFCON. Sadly Jota is not fit but hopefully Salah will decide to give his all in what I am sure will be his last few games for the club.

14:00 Chelsea v West Ham

Chelsea are clearly the form team in this one. I expect s few goals but am not convinced West Ham can contribute to the scoreline.

Brentford have not been in great form lately but should be good enough to beat the inconsistent Fulham. They have a strong home record against this rival.

Real Sociadad still have to fight to claim a top 6 place whereas Las Palmas sit comfortably in mid table . I expect Sociadad to bounce back to form with a 2-0 win.
