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...

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....

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...
