STILL EVEN FOR THE DAY IF MAN UTD DON’T SCORE! HERE’S A TREBLE. WINNERS ONLY!!! ITALY- SERIE A BOLOGNA VS ROMA FACTS BOLOGNA Diego Perez is suspended and Michele Pazienza is struggling to recover, so René Khrin should play in midfield. Jonathan Cristaldo has stated he is benefiting from Alessandro Diamantis departure as he is getting more space on the field. ROMA Francesco Totti and Maicon are both doubtful. The captain could be spared and start on the bench, but Rudi Garcia is in need of full-backs. Kevin Strootman missed some training due to a flu and could be replaced by Radja Nainggolan in the starting XI. STATISTICS Roma are undefeated in 24 of their last 25 matches in Serie A. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Romas last 9 games in Serie A. Roma have scored at least 2 goals in 9 of their last 11 matches against Bologna in all competitions. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Bolognas last 8 home games in Serie A. Roma have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 7 matches in Serie A. Roma have been winning at both half time and full time in 5 of their last 7 matches in Serie A. Roma are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 matches against Bologna in all competitions. Bologna have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Roma in all competitions. PREDICTION Bologna lost in San Siro to Milan after a good performance that deserved to be rewarded with a point. They are currently two points out of the relegation zone, so one more could keep them out of trouble for the moment. Roma have won only one away match in their last six, so they will have to change this record in order to get back in the title competition. The visitors will want to win to close in on Juventus 6-point advantage with the same number of games played, as the table toppers will only play on Monday. Bologna do not seem equipped to cope with Romas quickness and technique, so they will probably sit back in the way they did against Milan and try to secure a draw. LINE UPS BOLOGNA (3-5-2) Curci, Mantovani, Natali, Antonsson, Morleo, Christodoulopoulos, Krhin, Kone, Garics, Cristaldo, Bianchi ROMA (4-3-3) De Sanctis, Bastos, Castán, Benatia, Torosidis, Strootman, Rossi, Pjanic, Florenzi, Destro, Gervinho OVER 1.5 ODDS AROUND 1.29 NETHERLANDS - EREDIVISIE NEC NIJMEGEN VS PSV EINDHOVEN KICK OFF AT 19.45 GMT FACTS NEC NIJMEGEN Tobias Haitz is hoping to return to the starting line-up. NEC, however, will be without Marcel Stutter due to injury. PSV EINDHOVEN Phillip Cocu now has a settled first XI and is expected to retain it for the trip to NEC. Georginio Wijnaldum, club captain, is back from injury and is the only player who could force his way into the squad. But if hes to feature this Saturday, it will probably be from the bench. STATISTICS NEC Nijmegen have seen over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 10 matches against PSV Eindhoven in all competitions. PSV Eindhoven have scored at least 2 goals in 9 of their last 10 matches against NEC Nijmegen in all competitions. PSV Eindhoven are undefeated in their last 11 matches against NEC Nijmegen in all competitions. PSV Eindhoven have won their last 3 matches in Eredivisie. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in PSV Eindhovens last 3 games in Eredivisie. PSV Eindhoven have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches in Eredivisie. NEC Nijmegen are undefeated in their last 5 home matches in Eredivisie. PREDICTION NECs win away to RKC Waalwijk wasnt enough to leapfrog out of the relegation zone, but did bring them two points closer to safety. PSV are on their best run of form (three straight wins) since early August: theyve not record four consecutive victories since late 2012 LINE UPS NEC NIJMEGEN (4-2-3-1) Johnsson, Conboy, Haitz, Eijden, Vermijl, Stefanik, Koolwijk, Foor, Rieks, Jahanbakhsh, Higdon PSV EINDHOVEN (4-3-3) Zoet, Willems, Rekik, Bruma, Arias, Hiljemark, Schaars, Ji-Sung, Depay, Locadia, Ruiz OVER 1.5 ODDS AROUND 1.17 SPAIN - LA LIGA BBVA ALMERIA VS MALAGA KICK OFF AT 21.00 FACTS ALMERIA Fernando Soriano is back following his one-game ban. This week Almeria announced the signing of Thai forward, Teerasil Dangda, who will join in the summer. Goalkeeper Esteban has a minor injury, though he is still likely to play. Incredibly, Esteban missed his first training session in 11 years this week. Striker Rodri is close to returning to the side. He will miss this game but will play against Barcelona. MALAGA Sergio Sanchez returns after his suspension and should lineup alongside Weligton in defence. Malaga have already been convinced by new signing Nordin Amrabats performances, with representatives having already travelled to Istanbul this week in order to make his stay a permanent one. Tensions are growing at Malaga, with Bernd Schuster criticising some of his players this week for their attitude. STATISTICS Almeria have kept a clean sheet in their last 4 home matches in La Liga. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Almerias last 5 games in La Liga. Malaga have been losing at both half time and full time in their last 3 away matches in La Liga. Malaga have failed to win 16 of their last 17 away matches in La Liga. Almeria have won their last 3 home matches in La Liga. Almeria have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 3 home matches against Malaga in all competitions. Almeria are undefeated in their last 5 home matches against Malaga in all competitions. PREDICTION Malaga really have fallen from their Champions League high of last season. With four losses in their last six outings, the side are facing the very real threat of relegation. Almeria are in the same boat, meaning this is a fight for survival. The visitors have struggled on the road this season, winning just one of their twelve meetings. If this is anything to go by, it could be another weekend of disappointment for the southern outfit. LINE UPS ALMERIA (4-2-3-1) Esteban, Dubarbier, Torsiglieri, Trujillo, Rafita, Azeez, Verza, Suso, Vidal, Barbosa, Bongo MALAGA Caballero, Antunes, Weligton, Sánchez, Angeleri, Camacho, Tissone, Samuel, Duda, Amrabat, Cruz ALMERIA WIN OR DRAW ODDS AROUND 1.45 YOU BET 20 & BANK 43!!!
