AUGUST 29: BARCELONA V VILLARREAL
BARCELONA have already notched up their second title of the season after dispersing of a bad-tempered Porto in Monaco last Friday. Tonight, they get their La Liga defence off the ground with a tricky home clash against Villarreal. It's been a long summer for the Valencians with key players...
AUG 28, LA LIGA: SEVILLA V MALAGA
THE strike is over and La Liga is finally “go” with opening-day wins for Valencia, Real Sociedad and Real Betis. Kick-off was postponed for seven days due to a dispute between the Association of Spanish Footballers and the Spanish League over unpaid wages but a meeting earlier this week...
SUPER CUP: BARCA v PORTO
Barca v Porto, Friday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 BARCA love getting their hands on trophies – whether it's the Champions League, La Liga or the Catalan volleyball open. Their hunger for success hasn't waned after a couple of years of domination and that's why they should be...
SPANISH SUPER CUP 2ND LEG: BARCELONA V REAL MADRID
JOSE MOURINHO will return to the Camp Nou tonight looking to build on an impressive 2-2 first leg draw in the Spanish SuperCup. Unlike previous clashes with Barcelona, Mourinho can confidently claim he had the upperhand on Pep Guardiola for the majority of the 90 minutes on Sunday. He...
SPANISH SUPER CUP: REAL MADRID v BARCELONA
THERE was a time when pre-season consisted of gathering up the smallest local opposition and tearing them apart in a series of bravado-boosting wins between a gruesome few hundred laps around the training complex for good measure. A nauseating test of endurance and will-power that stretched the body to...
BARCELONA v MAN UTD
IT wouldn't be a surprise to find out that for weeks now, from the moment Lionel Messi glided between the helpless ranks of white, slalomed beyond the outstretched limbs and tucked past Iker Casillas with icy precision, the Manchester United dressing room have avoided much talk of the Champions...
MAY 22: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
THERE are plenty to games to look at on Sunday with bookies pricing up games all over Europe. I tipped one of them on Saturday as part of a fivefold and it's only fair I start with that. My first pick is the Second Division play-off final second leg...
MAY 21, 22: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
WITH only the Premier League still battling out we'll look far and wide in an attempt to keep this popular punt going through the summer. There are plenty of matches priced up in various countries but you'll have to find the bookie who best serves your needs. For this...
REAL MADRID V BARCELONA: UNO, DOS, TRES…STALEMATE
TONIGHT is no longer about the unbreakable Barcelona. There is no glorious Oscar-worthy movie script ending, an uplifting castle in the sky that sees our infallible hero power beyond the grinning evil doer to set-up infinite sequels. That Spanish blockbuster has played out and as the credits rolled, it...
COPA DEL REY BETTING
EURO expert Paul Watson signed off his excellent overview on the Spanish Cup Final by suggesting he'll backing Barcelona to beat Real Madrid. And I've to agree with him although there was little to separate the sides when they met in the Bernabeu on Saturday. Barca are a best...
AC MILAN V INTER MILAN
WITH the title on the line, tonight's battle in Milan will have an added spice – not that the bonkers San Siro faithful needed any encouragement. Inter are back in good shape since the arrival of Leonardo, a surprise choice but one that's proved me wrong so far, and...
MARCH 29: GERMANY V AUSTRALIA
A QUICK one-hitter here as we navigate the murky waters of international football yet again but grand mismatches and poor prices might limit your sure-shot options tonight. These sides met last year during the World Cup – but it was a day to forget for the 10-man Aussies as...
WALES v ENGLAND LATEST
LADBROKES have cut the odds of an England victory at the Millennium Stadium from 4-9 to 2-5 following news Welsh superstar Gareth Bale has been ruled out of Saturday’s game. The winger, a favourite for Player of the Year, is still hopeful of playing in Spurs' Champions League game...
MARCH 19, 20: EURO FOOTBALL BETS
WITH the international break coming up and the rest of the European competitions mapped out, we're afforded one last weekend of games before we officially enter “squeaky bum time”. Full cards for every top league makes it difficult to narrow down worthy punts but we'll try to focus on...
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: REAL MADRID V LYON
IT'S been six long years since Real Madrid made the quarter-finals of Europe's premier club competition and for an institution of such world renowned stature, that's simply not good enough. They'll be hoping to bring that poor streak to an end at the Santiago Bernabeu tonight and with a...
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: MANCHESTER UNITED V MARSEILLE
IT'S not quite the Manchester United of old. A lack of spark, magic and even flair have left this year's Premier League leaders looking a shadow of themselves. However, with Wayne Rooney starting to remember what he's paid for and United's home form belying their horrible displays on the...
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: BAYERN MUNICH V INTER MILAN
WHEN your team racks up six unanswered goals in a sizzling home display, you'd expect the atmosphere among your fellow supporters to be a jovial, bouncy one. You wouldn't, for example, expect to see 300 members of the Bavarian-based police force clash with 100 enraged Bayern Munich fans. Half...
MARCH 2: EUROPEAN BETTING
WHEN your manager decides to tell the press there's a good chance you might get humped in the next match you have to question whether turning up is a good idea at all. Valencia boss Unai Emery told his troubled stars they'll be “cannon fodder” if they allow Barcelona...
WEEKEND EUROPEAN TIPS
Our European football expert, Paul Watson points us in the direction of of some good looking bets across this weekend's fixtures. Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund IF Borussia Dortmund win today I reckon the league title will be all but in the bag. A revitalised Bayern Munich will prove...
EURO FOOTY TIPS & GOALS GALORE
HERE are my top tips from around Europe plus some games where I think both teams will score. Borussia Dortmund v St Pauli A little bit of wobbling from Dortmund as they hit the New Year jitters but their fantastic run before Christmas has created more than enough room...
WEEKEND EUROPEAN TIPS
Expect goals when Inter Milan travel to Turin for their clash with Juventus on Sunday. Since appointing Leonardo as successor to Rafa Benitez, Inter have notched 24 goals and conceded 12 in eight matches. That's a staggering average of over 4.5 goals per game. Juve have the worst defensive...
EUROPEAN GOALS GALORE TIPS
Both Teams to Score is one of the most popular markets going right now and due to demand, we'll be taking a look at some matches around Europe that will hopefully help punters score big on the accumulator. The key is two-fold – you want a pair of teams...
SATURDAY’S EURO TREBLE
Our resident Euro football expert, Paul Watson give us his top treble for this weekend's action across Europe. Osasuna v Mallorca Osasuna shocked Real Madrid last week with a 1-0 win, only the second team to beat Jose Mourinho's side this season, and they'll be out to build on...
JUVENTUS v UDINESE: BETTING PREVIEW
It seems like Juventus have well and truly knackered their season. After being demolished 4-1 by Parma (at home, no less!) at the start of the year, the Old Lady's confidence looks completely shot. With no hope of lifting the Scudetto at the end of the current campaign, all...
INTER MILAN v PALERMO: BETTING PREVIEW
Sunday's European action is very Italian-centric with an almost full Serie A card taking precedent. In arguably the match of the week, Inter Milan are at home to Palermo (who have popped up in my tips a few times recently) and even on paper it's a tight one. The...
GERMANY AND ITALY: TOP TIPS
IT'S a big day for Ryan Babel who will make his Hoffenheim debut at Schalke after his move from Liverpool. However, he's joining a team who haven't started 2011 well and were knocked out of the German Cup in midweek. I reckon the Dutchman will be a debut loser...
EUROPEAN FOOTBALL: SPANISH TIPS
Our European football expert, Paul Watson gives us some insight into tonight’s LA Liga fixtures Hercules v Barca A fascinating statistic from this one is that in the last three La Liga meetings between these sides … Hercules have won all three. In fact, it was their win at...
EURO WEEK AHEAD
WE'RE in fits and spurts this week in Europe so punters looking at an accumulator might have to hold their nerve until Friday. Monday Our first pick is tonight's clash between Athletic Bilbao and Hercules. The home side have won seven of their 10 league games at San Mames...
SATURDAY’S EURO ACCUMULATOR
I'VE had a quick look at Saturday's card and picked some hot homes for an accumulator bet. First I'm heading to Germany where runaway leaders Borussia Dortmund simply won't be caught by anyone, including Bayern Munich. With the title out of the question, the best hope for Bayern is...
FANCY A SPANISH DOUBLE?
LET me start off by wishing everyone a Happy New Year - hopefully 2011 will prove to be your best at the bookies yet. The winter break is still underway for a lot a lot of the European cards, so we'll head to Spain and start with Barcelona's trip...
ARRIVEDERCI RAFA?
RAFA BENITEZ will be lucky to still be wearing his funny socks in Inter Milan's dugout come Christmas. He's taken an all-conquering Nerazzurri from Champions League winners to fifth in Serie A and as the Spaniard continues to spin out of control the axe looks set to fall. It's...
DON’T MESS WITH MESSI
BARCELONA laid claim to the tag of best side on the planet with that 5-0 rout of Real Madrid on Monday – but the scoreline wasn’t the most surprising stat of the night. Amazingly, Lionel Messi didn’t score although the little Argentine was brilliant in everything he did. Tonight Messi...
EL CLASICO: BARCA v REAL PREVIEW
YOU could forgive Pep Guardiola for feeling the heat. When Jose Mourinho's appointment was confirmed by Real Madrid there will have been a slow burn moving inside the Barcelona coach. Perhaps a loosening of that infamous slim-cut tie. A wipe of the brow as a bead of sweat escaped...
MILAN DERBY BETTING PREVIEW
IT'S derby day in the fashion capital of the world but the two teams set for action in the San Siro will be walking tightropes rather than catwalks this evening. Reigning European and Italian champions Inter have struggled since Jose Mourinho left and Rafa Benitez took charge. I know....
DON’T BALE OUT YET
BOOKIES reckon Spurs fans will still be able to rave about man of the moment Gareth Bale next season. With the Welsh wizard arguably becoming the hottest property in world football overnight Paddy Power make Bale 4-9 to still be a Spurs player after next summer’s transfer window while...
EURO TIPS: HUNTELAAR WILL SHOW HIS KLAAS
MAINZ are today on the cusp of history. Not content with an absolutely stonking start to the campaign, the Bundesliga shock troops are going for the best opening ever. If they somehow maintain their phenomenal form and beat Hamburg at home, they'll move onto eight straight wins and surpass...
EURO PREVIEW OCTOBER 3
IT’S a a bit of a Super Sunday across Europe – they might not, traditionally, be the most glamorous ties on paper but recent form has set out four crackers on the continent. A trip to Spain is in order for our first stop at Getafe vs Hercules. The...
ATLETICO MADRID v BARCELONA PREVIEW
IF I was to ask what lies in the heart of Madrid, plays home to one of Spain's greatest sides and has been a graveyard for close to a decade for Barcelona … what would your answer be? The Santiago Bernabeu and Real Madrid would seem they obvious answer....
UNITED STILL ON COURSE
MAN UNITED are still hotly-fancied to progress from the group stages of the champions league, despite their shock 0-0 draw with Rangers last night. William Hill make them 1-14 to go through with Rangers 4-1 and 1-7 not to make it. Hills now make United 2-1 to do best...
EUROPEAN WEEKEND FOOTBALL TIPS
