Super Saturday


At tea-time this evening Wembley will be rocking to a mancunian chorus (if they have managed to avoid the road closures & train delays) as Man Utd take on City in the FA cup semi-final. While Man Utd are without Rooney due to suspension, City are without Tevez through injury and that is some major loss. If you take away his 19 goals in all competitions their next highest scorer is Balotelli on only 6. With Man Utd failing to score only 3 times all season, you have to worry for a City team that may be overawed by the occasion. So I suggest you grab the 11/10 for a United win which is currently available at Betfred & Victor Chandler.

In the Premier League a basement battle and a half will take place at Blackpool where they entertain bottom of the table Wigan. As regular readers will know, Blackpool are a godsend when it comes to the goals market with 94% of their home matches going over 2.5 goals. Bet365 have this priced at 4/6 and that is well worth as nibble. However Wigan have had a really tough run of fixtures this last month yet only Man Utd have scored more than one goal against them so a Wigan win, best priced 2/1 with Victor Chandler may be worth a shout, especially when you consider Blackpool have only won 1 of their last 12 matches.

In the Blue Square Premier, Bottom club Eastbourne face relegation unless they can gain a victory against fourth placed Kidderminster. Eastbourne have conceded a massive 97 goals this season and I expect that figure to go close to the magic 100 mark by 5pm today with Kiddie pushing for promotion. A Kidderminster win is a best priced 4/6 with Boylesports and that is a steal.

Finally on to 'El Classico', Real Madrid v Barcelona, the most entertaining team on the planet facing the self styled special one. Barcelona, who are 8 points clear of their rivals at the top of La Liga, can all but seal the title with a victory here. They are looking to do the double over Madrid for the third successive season and even though the Madristas will be out to avenge the 5-0 drubbing they received earlier in the season, you have to fancy Messi et al securing the points. They are a best priced 6/4 with Betfred for the victory but can also be backed at 4/5 'draw no bet' with the same firm.

One interesting stat is that Messi has never scored against a team managed by Mourinho - fancy him breaking his duck? Boylesports go 11/8 he scores at anytime, its odds on at other bookies. Ronaldo has never scored against Barca either and with that pair heading the scoring charts one oif them may break their duck this evening.

Finally if you read this in time grab the 23/20 Victor Chandler are offering on Motherwell beating St Johnstone at 12:45pm today, Motherwell, unbeaten in 4 matches, should overcome a St Johnstone side on a downward spiral with ease.

Barcelona v Arsenal this evening

Can Arsenal get through this tough match this evening? They failed at the Nou Camp last year but they have that priceless victory from the first leg in their locker this time so that sets us up for a fantastic tie tonight.

As of lunchtime the best odds available are:

Barcelona 1/3
Draw 11/2
Arsenal 8/1

Barca are obviously pretty strong favourites, and the odds reflect this, but there is value to be found if you delve deep enough.

Both teams have injury problems with Walcott & Song missing for Arsenal whilst Barcelona have to do without their usual centre-back pairing of Pique & Puyol. Most pundits agree that Barca will have the lions share of possession, as they did in the first leg, but many also agree that Arsenal are better playing the counter attack game.

One player who will be crucial for the gunners tonight is Andrey Arshavin. He is coming into form right now and with Walcott missing he will be required to step up to the plate tonight. He performed well against Sunderland at the weekend and was unlucky to see a legitimate goal chalked off. Sportingbet's 11/2 to score at anytime looks a decent bet to me, especially with Barcelona's 2nd choice centre-back pairing tonight.

While many people would consider it foolish to back an Gunners victory tonight, we do like the look of Arsenal with a 2 goal head start. Stan James has this priced at 11/10 while almost all other bookmakers have it as an odds on shot.

So can the Gunners do it? One statistic makes interesting reading, Arsenal have won the first leg at home 15 times in Europe and have gone on to qualify in 14 of those games.

A good omen? Hopefully!!

Arsenal v Barcelona

Firstly a quick stat that may be of note regarding tonights match - Barcelona have yet to win an away Champions League knock out round game under Pep Guardiola, that is six in total. So taking that into account our first recommended bet is...

Arsenal to win (draw no bet) @ 7/4 with BetFred

Also traditionally games between these two rivals have been high scoring affairs. The last three matches have seen twelve goals fly in with three being the lowest amount in any one match.

So I'd recommend a nice wager on over 2.5 goals at a best price 4/6 with Victor Chandler
