Man City cruised in to the Champions League quarter finals with a second 2-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach and hoping to join them on Wednesday are Chelsea who have a 1-0 1st leg lead over Atletico Madrid to defend at Stamford Bridge.
Olivier Giroud's spectacular overhead kick was enough for Thomas Tuchel's side to get the better of the La Liga leaders and are in a good position to get the job done in London.
Atletico Madrid have won just two of their past 10 away Champions League knockout matches and striker Luis Suarez has failed to score in his last 24 away appearances in the competition so you feel that a Chelsea goal, which would leave Atleti needing two, migh just be enough to put the tie to bed.
The Spaniards are 11/4 to qualify and it may be a cagey affair at the Bridge with Chelsea happy to keep Atletico at arms length and Diego Simeone's side unlucky to be gung-ho. No goal before 34 minutes appeals at 5/6.
Bayern Munich hold a commanding lead over Lazio after their 4-1 first leg win over the Italians. Hansi Flick is still likely to field a strong line-up but the bookies aren't giving much away at 3/1. even Lewandowski is just 3/10 to score so there might be better value in his supporting cast such as Coman at 3/1 anytime (BetVictor) or Sane at 21/10 (Sportingbet).
Norwich City are on the march back to the Premier League and look a fair bet at 10/11 to win at Nottingham Forest. The Canaries have won eight on the bounce while Forest have failed to win in four and scored just four goals in their last eight matches.
Wednesday's action kicks-off at 4.00 in Serie A with Sassulo's visit to Torino while SlipsTips, who had another BetBuilder winner on Tuesday, focuses on Elche's visit to Sevilla for his Wednesday tip.

After leaving matchday 4 on Saturday morning I will be having a play tomorrow morning on matchday 5 of the Japanese J League 🇯🇵 a goals angle in the Marinos game and a difficult game for the fellow Yokohama side.
Yokohama F Marinos vs Tokushima Vortis (10:00am)
Yokohama F Marinos over 1.5 team goals
Nagoya Grampus vs Yokohama FC (10:00am)
Nagoya Grampus to win
Double pays
1.3/1 (William Hill)
Full reasoning below 👇🏻
Yokohama F Marinos vs Tokushima Vortis
J League 🇯🇵
Wednesday 17th March, 10:00 ⏰
The Marinos look as if they’ll continue from last season and score plenty of goals this season. Following a 2-0 defeat away to last season’s champions Kawasaki Frontale, the Marinos are unbeaten in their last 3 winning 2 and scoring 9 goals. Dating back to last season and including the 2 this season, the Marinos have scored 2 or more goals in 13 of their last 19 home games.
Newly promoted Tokushima have struggled so far this season failing to win any of their 4 games. Tokushima have lost their last 2 games, away to Kawasaki Frontale 2-0 but more damagingly a 1-2 defeat to fellow newly promoted side Avispa Fukuoka. Tokushima will come into this short of conference and I feel as if the Marinos will take advantage of that by scoring at least 2 goals.
Nagoya Grampus vs Yokohama FC
J League 🇯🇵
Wednesday 17th March, 10:00 ⏰
It’s been an impressive start from Nagoya this campaign winning all 4 games conceding only once. Remarkably they’ve also won their last 3 games 1-0. Nagoya are strong at home, if we go back to last season and include their 1 home game this season, Nagoya have won 13 of their last 18 losing only twice.
While opponents Nagoya have won all 4 games this season, Yokohama have lost all 4 games this season and already look like a side that will finish in the bottom 4 this season. Yokohama have conceded 13 in their 4 games this season scoring only twice and I can’t see them getting a positive result. Yokohama are notoriously poor travellers losing 12 of their last 19 away games dating back to the start of last season.
For those of you’s that like an acca I’ve picked a 4 fold for tomorrow’s J League games. First 2 will be from my double and added to that will be both to score at Avispa and a Tokyo win.
Avispa Fukuoka vs Kashima Antlers (9:00)
Both teams to score
FC Tokyo vs Shonan Bellmare (9:00)
FC Tokyo to win

just wondering if anyone like myself has lost a few quid with football index going bust…………. i’m only down about £40 thankfully but reading some are down a rite few bob……………
I only had in region of a couple hundred quid tied up in the Index, thankfully cashed out vast majority of my shares a while back for a tidy profit. Many people had committed there life savings to the platform and lost 10s of thousands of pounds overnight, awful to see so many lives turned upside down. I don’t think the company will go under IMO, the overall concept of FI is simply brilliant but desperately needs new management to restore any kind of confidence in the product and take it forward.

Today’s double involves two rearranged games from Serie A and La Liga. An afternoon game in Serie A which is hopefully full of goals and then to Spain where I’m expecting the home side too strong for their visitors.
Torino vs Sassuolo
Both teams to score
Sevilla vs Elche
Sevilla to win
Double pays
1.4/1 (William Hill)
Full reasoning on both below 👇🏻
Torino vs Sassuolo
Serie A 🇮🇹
Wednesday 17th March, 14:00 ⏰
Torino have scored in 9 of their 12 home games this season.
Torino have conceded in 9 of their 12 home games this season.
Both teams have scored in 9 of their 12 home games this season.
Sassuolo have scored in 11 of their 13 away games this season.
Sassuolo have conceded in 10 of their 13 away games this season including their last 8.
Both teams to score has came up in 9 of their 13 away games this season.
Both these sides usually find the net but struggle to keep clean sheets. Both to score has came up in 14 of Sassuolo’s last 15 and with the previous meeting finishing 3-3, I can see both sides netting once again here.
Sevilla vs Elche
La Liga 🇪🇸
Wednesday 17th March, 18:00 ⏰
Sevilla have won 9 of their 13 home games this season.
Sevilla have won 6 of their last 7 home games in La Liga.
Sevilla have won 5 out of 7 against bottom half sides at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Elche have only won 2 of their 13 away games losing 8.
Elche have lost 7 of their last 8 games away from home.
Elche have failed to win any of their 8 away games against top half sides losing 6.
Sevilla come into this looking to strengthen their position in 4th place this evening. They host an Elche side with one of the worst away records in the league. With Sevilla strong at home, I can see them picking up all 3 points.

5/4 bet 365/skybet NAP
Barnsley o1.5tgs

The form guide
Bayern have played 15 home games this season and netted 2+ in 14 of those matches, as well as hitting 5+ corners in 14 of those games. They might be 4-1 up from the first league but being holders plus the German mentality will ensure there’s no slacking off in this one and I fancy them to cover both these lines tonight.
Sevilla aren’t in great form going into this one but they face an elche side without an away win in the league since October- a run which has seen them pick up just 3 draws in 12 games. Home men should be looking to strengthen their grip on the last CL place in this one.
The NB sees me go for PSG and Barnsley and strangely it’s the Yorkshire men who are the form side of the 2. PSG come into this without a win in their last 3 home games, but I fancy them to turn that around today against a Lille side they have beaten on their last 6 trips to Paris and who haven’t triumphed there since 1996.
Barnsley been well documented over the past month or so, ex LASK manager valerian Ismael is working his magic with them and they are unbeaten in 9, winning 8 of those games and scoring 2+ in 6. A trip to relegation threatened wycombe will be tough as they scrap for survival but Barnsley have won their last 4 away games at Bournemouth Bristol city Brentford and qpr scoring 9 in the process so I fancy them to cover the 2+
Good luck today
Can anyone advise on how to see previous day’s football tips and comments please ? Thank you.
Best way to see any previous days is to always keep the window open in your browser as it can be tough trying to find them thru the site, especially at this time of year with Cheltenham on and lots of new posts.
Thanks Sean, but I can’t actually see the page for yesterdays post on the front page or the page for football tips…how do I go about reconciling that please ?

Congratulations to Japan who’s use of VAR is worse than anywhere in Europe I’ve seen, even including the premier league. After what I thought was an equaliser for Kashima Antlers on the 91st minute, the goal got disallowed 5 minutes later. Also the Marinos scored a 2nd on the 60th minute, the goal got disallowed 3 minutes later, both for fouls a good bit of time before the eventual goal was scored. Frustrated is an understatement, really does put you off betting on that league but we go again. Hopefully more luck and no negative VAR intervention downs this afternoons double.
Bayern Win & BTTS, > 7 Match Corners, > 1 Match Card 11/5 – quarter stake
Hope for something like the first leg with a leaky Lazio pinching a consolation goal. GL all!
Bayern to win at 1/3
Atletico Madrid to score at 1/2
double at 1/1*****(NAP)
Bayern speak for themselves.Atletico have the nouse to get on the score sheet they have been here to many times and the experience they have might even carry them through to the next round although i doubt it.Three English sides in the quarters would be good.
