Saturday Edition
Everton vs. Sunderland
Although Everton have just knocked Chelsea out of the FA Cup I imagine they'll still struggle in the league. Sunderland have had a good season and Steve Bruce, having recently extended his contract with club, has built a consistent side. I'm backing Sunderland double chance (win or draw) at 2.02.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Blackpool
We all know Blackpool leak goals as often as they score them but I think Mick McCarthy has his side well enough organized at home to keep a low scoreline. Blackpool are also missing captain Charlie Adam. He's obviously crucial to the side. Under 2.5 Goals at 2.20. Odds were at 2.35 but I moved too slow.
Mallorca vs. Barcelona
The longest shot of the day. Barcelona are missing Puyol, Xavi, and Valdes but most importantly Mallorca are disciplined and perform well enough at home to the top sides to keep this contest close. I like Mallorca double chance at 3.00 and Under 2.5 Goals at 2.10. Good luck? Will need it.
Stade Rennes vs. RC Lens
Rennes, second place and in good form, take on Lens, second bottom and floundering. At 1.65 Rennes look good for the win.
Leicester City vs. Coventry City
Steadied under Sven-Göran Eriksson and hunting for a play-off spot Leicester City look a safe bet at home against a Coventry side that hasn't won away since November. City win at 1.50.
Rennes and Leicester all-up at 2.48
See above – two favoured sides at home.
Match of the Day
Bayern Munich vs. Borrisia Dortmund
Humdinger and probably the highlight of the weekend. A loss for Bayern and the nails will be well and truly nailed in the coffin for their title hopes. Dortmund have had a slip blip since the winter break but are still ten points clear and had no midweek matches while Bayern traveled to Milan. Too tight to put money on but too exciting to miss watching.
