Football Analyst Tips

Two winners with Borussia Munchengladbach at 11/10 and Stoke at 21/20 last night from 3 selections ensures a decent return.

STOKE V NEWCASTLE UNITED
BET:
STOKE WIN ✔️
ODDS: 21/20
KICK OFF: 19:45

Stoke are sitting comfortable in the Premier League and have been playing some very attractive football this season, as Mark Hughes has moulded a team full of attacking flair. Newcastle have been very poor this season and there is no surprise that they are struggling in the relegation zone on only 24 points from 26 games. Their away form has been horrendous, having only gained two wins on the road this season late in 2015, They have lost their last 5 league away games on the bounce, failing to score in three of these.

Stoke have had a mini slump recently, where they lost three games on the spin without scoring, but have since picked up, winning their last 2 games, scoring five times in the process. They have won 6 times at home this season, and with Newcastle being so poor away from St James Park, we are happy to take up the odds of 21/20 for a NEWCASTLE WIN.

Newcastle also have a number of injury concerns, with noticeable absentee's that include Coloccini, Anita, De Jong and Papiss Cisse. Stoke do have some concerns over players out, but should still be too strong for an out of form and struggling Newcastle team. It is also worth pointing out that Stoke have beaten Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United at home this season without any of those teams scoring a goal.

STOKE WIN STATS:

- NEWCASTLE HAVE LOST 77% OF THEIR LEAGUE AWAY GAMES
- NEWCASTLE HAVE LOST THEIR LAST 5 LEAGUE AWAY GAMES
- NEWCASTLE HAVE PICKED UP ONLY 7 POINTS AWAY FROM HOME THIS SEASON FROM 13 GAMES
- STOKE HAVE WON 5 OF THEIR LAST 8 LEAGUE HOME GAMES
- NEWCASTLE HAVE LOST 10 OUT OF 12 LEAGUE AWAY GAMES AGAINST SIMILAR OPPOSITION
- STOKE HAVE WON 6 OUT OF 9 LEAGUE HOME GAM

BENFICA V UNIAO MADEIRA
BET: BENFICA TO WIN BOTH HALVES ✔️
ODDS: EVENS
KICK OFF: 19:45
PORTUGAL

With the top two in in The Primeira Liga playing tonight, both Sporting and Benfica will see both games as vital in the title race. More so for Benfica, who recently lost to FC Porto to hand the advantage to Sporting in the title race and slipped to 2nd in the league.

Despite their recent loss at home to FC Porto, Benfica are on of the strongest home teams in Europe. They have only lost twice in their last 55 league home games, and they are highly likely to add to that tally tonight against Uniao Madiera, who are 14th in the league and 31 points behind Benfica on 24pts with a -14GD. They have only won one game away in the league this season against Maritimo. They have lost 8 out 11 league away games and have only scored 6 goals in these games. With Benfica averaging 3.09GPG and Uniao Madeira only averaging 0.55GPG on the road, we wouldn't be surprised to see a Benfica win to nil, but with obvious risks attached to this bet, 8/11 is too skinny to be backed. We prefer BENFICA TO WIN BOTH HALVES at EVENS.

Benfica have been leading at half time in 57% of their league home games, whilst Uniao Madeira have been leading at half time away from home in 0 from 11 games, evens is decent value to take the bet on. Furthermore, Benfica have won both halves in 14 out of their last 20 league home games. Benfica have also scored 21 of their 34 league home games in the second half, and there is no reason to see why their strong scoring trends in both halves cant be continued tonight against a team who have conceded 10 first half goals and 12 second half goals on their travels so far this season, whilst only scoring 6 goals.

BENFICA TO WIN BOTH HALVES STATS:

- BENFICA HAVE WON BOTH HALVES IN 14 OUT OF THEIR LAST 20 LEAGUE HOME GAMES
- UNAIO MADEIRA HAVE BEEN LEADING AT HALF TIME IN NONE OF THEIR 11 LEAGUE AWAY GAMES SO FAR THIS SEASON
- BENFICA AVERAGE 3.09GPG AT HOME THIS SEASON
- UNAIO MADEIRA HAVE ONLY SCORED 6 LEAGUE AWAY GOALS THIS SEASON
- BENFICA HAVE SCORED 13 1ST HALF GOALS AND 21 SECOND HALF GOALS AT HOME THIS SEASON IN THE LEAGUE
- UNIAO MADEIRA HAVE ONLY PICKED UP 5 POINTS IN 11 LEAGUE AWAY GAMES THIS SEASON
