Are the Gunners back?

With half the starting lineup still injured Arsenal managed to beat Liverpool away this weekend.

Are they really back in the title race again? Or will there be a negative reaction tonight at Burnley? Not exactly a sexy game, Gunners needs to show that they can grind down opponents like these.

At TopLeague they believe Arsenal to beat the strong-at-home Burnley with at least two goals. I however have some doubts.

So today’s bet will be a win for Arsenal. But with several goals? Nah, don’t think so.

Once again, disclaimer. I am a gooner and it influences me off course. Today I am afraid to believe what I saw Sunday really was a turning point. But I still think they’ll win.

Confusing? Guess so. I’ll put down £100 for an away win @ 1.50.

FC Porto v Chelsea

Back from the dead! Sorry for the long break.

Today we have a lot of great Champions League matches.

In group D, Porto and Chelsea are already ready for the knockout stage. Tonight’s match will most likely determine who will win the group. A draw will be enough for Chelsea to keep control of the group.

Scoring draw is priced at 4.30 by Betsson.com and looks like the value bet of the night. I lay down £100.

Mallorca – Valladolid

Today’s bet
In Copa del Rey, the Spanish cup, Valladolid is visiting Mallorca. The home side is always tough to beat in Mallorca and 1.67 is a fair price. £200.

Inter Milan v Palermo

Today’s bet
I’ll go for the statistical correct bet here. This match should end 2-1. It pays 7.95. Let’s try £100.

Portsmouth v. Stoke

Time for the next round of the Carling Cup.

Stoke have been on fire on the Premiership lately. Here’s a opportunity for the guys outside the first team to claim their spot. Think they have a fair chance to succeed.

Today’s bet
Portsmouth at the bottom of the league table with no home wins shouldn’t be the odds favorite here. But they are! Stoke pays 3.60 right now. Great value! £200.

SC Paderborn 07 v Arminia Bielefeld

Massive action today…. We have to look in the German second division to find anything at all.

In top of the table we find Bielefeld with six straight wins. They are visting Paderborn who have shown increasing strength. This could be Bielefeld’s first loss of points this season. They have three straight 1-0 wins that haven’t looked all that convincing.

Today’s bet
£100 on a scoring draw pays 3.85. Worth a try.

West Ham v. Arsenal

Today’s bet
Arsenal to win by at least two pays 2.08. £200.

And yes, remember I am a Gooner.

Chelsea v. Blackburn

Today’s bet
Home side to win by at least two pays 1.53 and looks like a sound bet. £150.

Bayer Leverkusen v. Borussia Dortmund

Today’s bet
Less than 2,5 goals pays 2.13. I’ll try that for a £100.

Celtic v Hamburger SV

The home side is over rated and I think the Germans have a very good chance to win. It pays 2.30 and a more than decent odds for HSV who got a team that on a normal day is far superior Celtic.

Today’s bet
HSV to win @ 2.30. £200.

Side-bet
Galatasaray v. Dinamo Bucharest is a very exciting match and the Turks are way to big favorites at the bookies. Few goals, draw or maybe 1-1 are all interesting options with good value. Good luck!
