Our MMA expert Marshall Art guides us through another heavily anticipated night inside the octagon.

EL CLASICO BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 21 Apr 2012

Barcelona, v Real Madrid, Nou Camp, 7pm (live on Sky Sports 1) THERE’S a peculiarity to  La Liga. Real Madrid, one of the greatest clubs in existence, top the table. Jose Mourinho, a man who excels in simply getting the job done, by hook or by crook, has taken them against the strength of popular opinion to the summit. Yet, […]

MAR 17: RAYO VALLECANO V REAL BETIS (SS4, 9PM)

Posted on: 17 Mar 2012

THE late clash could be a goalmine with Mr Fixit already pointing out three of Rayo’s last four games have gone over 5.5 goals. They were thumped 5-1 by an inspired Espanyol thanks to Kalu Uche’s hat-trick but they do have an attacking threat of their own in Michu. The Spanish dangerman has been in terrific form, bagging eight goals in […]

MAR 17: SEVILLA V BARCELONA (SS4, 7PM)

Posted on: 17 Mar 2012

THE squeeze is on and tonight Barcelona must tighten the gap between them and their eternal rivals if they’re to keep their flickering title ambitions alive. Trailing the men from Madrid by 10 points, the league table reads like alternative history of a side that’s continued to break records and enthrall spectators all season. But their patchwork displays away from […]

MARCH 4: REAL MADRID v ESPANYOL

Posted on: 04 Mar 2012

Bernabeu, Sunday, 8.30pm (live Sky Sports 1) IKER CASILLAS this week insisted Real Madrid’s greatest challenge this season had come at them, unexpectedly, in the shape of Rayo Vallecano last week. They struggled to a 1-0 victory courtesy of a sublime backheel from Cristiano Ronaldo and tonight face another tricky tie in the shape of Espanyol. “The Parakeets” have already […]

MARCH 3: BARCELONA v SPORTING GIJON

Posted on: 03 Mar 2012

Camp Nou, Saturday, 7pm, live on Sky Sports 4 BARCELONA will need to see off relegation candidates Sporting Gijon today without the suspended Lionel Messi. The go-to man for every Spanish betting fan will be forced to sit out this 90 minutes at Camp Nou after picking up five bookings this season, with the clincher coming in last week’s win […]

FEB 26: LA LIGA SUNDAY, BARCA AND MADRID

Posted on: 26 Feb 2012

REAL MADRID and Barcelona are both in action on a bumper super Sunday in La Liga as the race for the title and the Pichichi seems but one and the same. Jose Mourinho’s league leaders have been rampaging through the domestic calender like a team possessed – if they already aren’t – with retaking the championship and ending the seemingly […]

FEB 15: UFC on FUEL – Ellenberger v Sanchez

Posted on: 15 Feb 2012

By Marshall Art A CLASH of top Welterweights headlines tonight’s UFC on FUEL card when Jake Ellenberger (26 wins, 5 losses) clashes with Diego Sanchez (23-4). Both have outstanding records and a victory pushes either into title contention, perhaps just one more fight from a shot at the championship. Ellenberger is the latest in a long line of wrestlers with rapidly […]

SEP 24: LA LIGA BETTING

Posted on: 24 Sep 2011

BARCELONA and Real Madrid return to action tonight and, with their egos bruised, they’re both looking to get back to winning ways. A midweek draw with Valencia turned out to be a decent result for Barca, who twice had to come from behind. Real dropped another two points as they followed up defeat to Levante with a draw against. The […]

SEP 21: VALENCIA v BARCELONA

Posted on: 21 Sep 2011

THE league leaders face the current holders in the pick of Wednesday night’s action in La Liga – and with the country’s two top scorers going head to head, we’re expecting goals at the rowdy Mestalla. Unai Emery’s side will be hoping to continue their 100 per cent start to the season and they’ve shown a real rugged, determined edge […]

BRILLIANT BARCA TO BAG 10?

Posted on: 20 Sep 2011

BARCELONA made a mockery of their critics by thrashing sorry Osasuna 8-0 on Saturday night. The mighty Catalans were back to their imperious best but it wasn’t just the naysayers that were caught in a sweat – so were the bookies. Bet365’s Cockney thespian Ray Winstone flashed across screens during the half-time break – when Barca led 5-0 – telling […]

SEP 17: LA LIGA BETTING

Posted on: 17 Sep 2011

LA LIGA kicks off this week with Valencia’s trip to Sporting Gijon with Los Che expecting to continue their flawless start to the season against the struggling El Molinon men. The basement boys have endured a horrible start to the campaign and this should be a comfortable Valencia victory. A rested squad returning to action and with a trip to […]

SEPT 10: LA LIGA TIPS

Posted on: 10 Sep 2011

AFTER the international break La Liga resumes today with Real Madrid and Barcelona in action early on as Atletico Madrid continue life without Diego Forlan and Sergio Aguero. Barcelona are becoming tougher to back with any real returns such is the regularity of large victories for the Catalan men so looking at the handicap market is getting more important by […]

AUGUST 29: BARCELONA V VILLARREAL

Posted on: 29 Aug 2011

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 Santi Cazorla (who was on target for Malaga last night) and […]

AUG 28, LA LIGA: SEVILLA V MALAGA

Posted on: 28 Aug 2011

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 saw the issue settled and set-up a three-day start to the […]

SPANISH SUPER CUP 2ND LEG: BARCELONA V REAL MADRID

Posted on: 17 Aug 2011

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 might even be surprised to have only earned a draw – […]

SPANISH SUPER CUP: REAL MADRID v BARCELONA

Posted on: 14 Aug 2011

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 breaking point. Now it exists as a 14,000 mile round trip […]

BARCELONA v MAN UTD

Posted on: 28 May 2011

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 League Final. If we’re to believe the party line from Sir […]

REAL MADRID V BARCELONA: UNO, DOS, TRES…STALEMATE 

Posted on: 26 Apr 2011

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 was curtains down on a damp squib rather than a box […]

SCHALKE V MAN UTD

Posted on: 26 Apr 2011

At roughly 7.44pm tonight, north of the Rhine in the German city of Gelsenkirchen, Josef Schnusenberg will gaze out on 61,672 expectant faces and draw a deep breath. His immediate thought may drift to the absurdity of it all. An anxious, alien feeling as he oversees the Royal Blue of his humble Miners as they line-up to that old familiar […]

AC MILAN V INTER MILAN

Posted on: 02 Apr 2011

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 he’s guided his side to within two points over their bitter […]

MARCH 19, 20: EURO FOOTBALL BETS

Posted on: 18 Mar 2011

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 some in-form big ‘uns who should do us a turn. Atletico […]

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: REAL MADRID V LYON

Posted on: 15 Mar 2011

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 two-time winner at the helm in Jose Mourinho, they’re favourites to […]

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: MANCHESTER UNITED V MARSEILLE

Posted on: 15 Mar 2011

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 road, I can’t see past the Old Trafford men tonight. The […]
