ENGLISH Premier League and French Ligue 2 take my fancy from Tuesday's card with West Ham and Troyes two sides at home who look good to collect another three points.
West Ham v Newcastle (7.45pm)
The last 6 games sum up West Ham's season – DLWDLW, sometimes terrible, sometimes alright, sometimes fantastic.
They've not managed to win back-to-back games in the league this season and probably won't have a better chance to do so all season as they welcome a Cardiff side who have been shocking on their travels.
West Ham come into this off the back of a terrific 3-0 away at Newcastle and of the 4 league games they have won they have done it in style.
Cardiff's away record is grim reading, 1 point from a possible 16 and I don't see that record getting any better as the Hammers give the home faithful something to cheer.
Recommended Bet
- West Ham to win and over 1.5 match goals
- 19/20 (Ladbrokes) (NAP)

Troyes v Orleans (8pm)
I was on the hosts on Friday as they demolished Red Star 3-0 away from home to make it 4 wins from their last 5 to propel them up the league which is a far cry from their early-season form.
They are finally adapting to life in France's second tier and haven't been short of goals with 12 scored in their last 5 games.
The wheels have well and truly fallen off the Orleans train, they went on a 6-match winning run but November wasn't kind to them with 3 defeats and a draw and just one goal scored.
They lost 2-1 at home to second-bottom Nancy on Friday and are now away to the league's form side.
I'm taking Troyes to continue their rich vein of form against an Orleans side low on confidence.
Recommended Bet
- Troyes
- 13/15 (Marathonbet)
Will be on the usual first half goals (40/1) and over 1.5 match goals (20/1) in France but I like the look of the Skybet Specials for total match goals in all 9 games. Troyes, Metz, Niort, and Le Havre are all at home and we should see a good amount of goals in tonight's card
- 23+ goals to be scored
- 6/5 (Skybet)

niort game downs the over 1.5.
on to friday.
A full house for Greg on his main bets tonight.
Had £25 on the +1.5 goals per game in France division 2.
I should not feel greedy but feeling a bit sick :-(
Always a sickener when it’s just one goal mate, especially when it’s 20/1
Valenciennes missed a penalty as well ☹️
