3-5-2 scored in last 3 matches for Zenit
LEAGUE POSITION – 2nd v 14th. Zenit must win as they are way behind CSKA.
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Zenit
RECENT HOME FORM – WWWLLDWWDDW – defeats to 5th and 9th. Have beaten 13th and 15th at home 2-1 and 1-0. Although Zenit score 2 + regularly v today’s opponents they have rarely mullered teams this season
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WWWWWLDWDLWW – clean sheets last 2 matches.
GOAL TRENDS – have only failed to score in 3 all season. 27% overs at home is standout and suggests struggles.
STREAKS – no defeat in 6 at home. Have scored in last 6 at home. No 0-0?s this season.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – krylya
RECENT AWAY FORM – LWLWDLLLWD – recent 1-1 draw v 3rd .Not beaten top 10 away -failed to score against 1st, 4th and 5th.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – LLLLLLLWLDL – only 1 win away was against 11th away
GOAL TRENDS – 50/50 overs away from home. No 0-0 all season.
STREAKS – no major streaks
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – the Zenit unders is standout here and suggests that 0-0 might be a goer as a pre match back to lay. Krylya should not win and there is a chance that they lose a tight match to nil as they have done v 1st, 4th, 5th. Do note in head to heads that Zenit have scored 2 minimum last 3 matches. 2-0, 1-0, 2-1 possibles . 0-0 should not occur here as no team has had a 0-0 all season

12pm – Queens Park v Rangers – 1.46 away – a win is all Rangers need to wrap up the league but this is a local derby and they needed a 90+th minute goal last time out to get a draw I believe. Rangers, about as trustworthy as a politician who used to be a banker.
2 consecutive 0-0’s for Rangers and that should end at some stage surely? 0-1 and 4-0 in 2 meetings between these 2 in what is a local derby.Rangers have not conceded in 3. All of the 5 goals they scored in 2 matches were scored 2nd half so perhaps halftime entry here?

All 6 head to heads see only 1 team scoring.
LEAGUE POSITION – 3rd v 16th – Anzhi can go 2nd possibly with a win. Alaniya are drifting away
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Anzhi
RECENT HOME FORM – WWDWWWWWDWD – unbeaten at home. draws at home v 2nd, 13th and 14th. Beat 15th 4-2.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WWLWDDWWDLDL – only 4 defeats all season, all away from home. Only beat alaniya 0-1 away.
GOAL TRENDS – 55% overs at home. 2.09 scored on average at home. Only 2 overs in last 8. Only 5 clean sheets all season. Only failed to score in 4 all season, 3 of those away from home.
STREAKS – 11 without defeat at home.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – LDLLDLLLDL – no win away and no defeat at home for Anzhi – makes this kind of straightforward( I hope!)
RECENT AWAY FORM – as above
RECENT OVERALL FORM – LLLLLLLDDLL – last 2 draws were 0-0. Conceded 9 in last 2 matches.
GOAL TRENDS – 40% overs away from home. Have failed to score away in 5 of the 6 matches against top 8. Have failed to score in 8 of the last 9 matches.
STREAKS – no win in 10 away and last 17 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – Anzhi don’t fill me with much confidence but then Alaniya are so bad a poor show from Anzhi might result in the 3 points. Alaniya have not scored in 8 of their last 9 matches. They have not won away. Anhi have not lost at home. All head to heads have seen only 1 team score. No win win 4 for Anzhi. 0-0. 1-0, 2-0 starters I feel for the home side.

RECENT HOME FORM – LWLDWWWWLLDWWWD – losses v 3rd, 6th, 8th and 15th. 3 of the defeats were to nil. All wins at home, bar one , saw 2,3 or 4 goals scored. 2-3-4-4-2 scored in last 5 home matches.

GOAL TRENDS – 53% overs away from home.Evian lead at halftime in only 2/15 away. Opponent scored first 8/15 aways
STREAKS – have scord and conceded last 3.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – messy match. 3 2-2’s for St Etienne should end at some stage. 3 home defeats were to nil. Can Evian keep out a team sho have scored 2-3-4-4-2 in last 5 homes? Inconclusive goal trends.

Over 2.5 goals last 6 head to headas and 3 seems to come up regularly for Liverpool.
LEAGUE POSITION – 7th v 11th. Only 6 points between West Ham and 3rd bottom. If West Ham lose and 17th and 18th win, then there’ll only be 3 points between the teams. Amazing scenes!
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Liverpool
RECENT HOME FORM – DLLDWDWWLWWWLWW – tendency to avoid draws and replace them largely with wins. defeats v 1, 5,8,18 . 4-3-5-0-5-3 scored at home recently. Have kept home clean sheets against 9th 10th ( playing 11th today), 12th, 13th, 14th
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WWLWDDLWWWLW – 5-4-3-1-2 scored in last 5.
GOAL TRENDS – 60% overs at home. Have scored 2at home on average. Only conceded 1 goal in first 1/2 hour at home. Have scored 16 in 1st 1/2 hour of 2nd half. Have scored first in 10/15 at home. One 0-0 at home and one 0-0 away.
STREAKS – No draw in 9 at home and 6 overall. Have scored in last 5 overall.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – West Ham
RECENT AWAY FORM – LDWLWLLDLLLLLWL – recent win was a 0-1 v Stoke. Defeats away to 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th . Only 3 away wins, 0-1 v 13th, 0-0 v 14th and 0-1 v 15th. and 1-2 v 19th.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – WLDLLWLLWLW – the 3-1 win v baggies recently was a bit of a shock for me. Andy Carroll got 2 – what chance an ex red comes to haunt his old club?
GOAL TRENDS – 53% overs away -conceded 10 in 1st 1/4 hour after halftime. Hammers only scored a maximum of 1goal in last 12 matches. They will not win scoring just 1 I feel against goofy racist Suarez and Steve ” Stevie G” Gerrard et al.
STREAKS – no draw in 7 away.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – concern with a lack of goals away for Hammers. 1 max in last 12 away. AndyCarol-Vorderman scored 2 at home to Baggies latest – will he haunt ex club today? 4-3-5-0-5-3 scored by the Pool at home recently could put paid to Hammers who are 6 points from relegation place. Watch out for goal action in 1st 1/4 hour of 2nd half. Liverpool score readily and HAmmers concede readily at this time.

LEAGUE POSITION – 3rd v 6th -Everton drifting away from top 6.
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Spurs
RECENT HOME FORM – DDWWLLWWWDWDWWL – Losses v 5th, 10th and 18th. Losses to 10th and 18th were 0-1. Have scored and conceded v 1st, 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WDWWWDDDWWWWLLW – recent defeats v Liverpool and Fulham both tight matches. Have scored and conceded in 7 of last 9 matches.
GOAL TRENDS – have scored and conceded in matches home and away v top 7. 47% overs. Have scored 12 goals in first half hour of 2nd half.
STREAKS – No draw in 7 overall. Have conceded in last 5 at home and last 6 overall.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Everton
RECENT AWAY FORM – WLWDDDLDDWWDLL – like Spurs, have 2 recent losses v City and Norwich this time. 4 of 5 defeats this season cam away from home, conceding 2 in each occasion.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – WWLWDDWDLLWWW – you don’t need me to tell you about the scoring and cocneding record of the Toffees but 2 clean sheets now , albeit at home, might be a sign of something. BUT note how Spurs like scoring and conceding of late.
GOAL TRENDS – 57% overs away from home. 5 clean sheets all season and failed to score in only 4 suggests the threat of scoring and conceding is always there.
STREAKS – no draw in 5 overall
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – the threat for scoring and conceding remains despite 2 clean sheets for Everton. Spurs have a sudden pattern for scoring and conceding, and Everton are experts at it, so an argument can be made. Spurs have scored and conceded in 7 of last 9 and in all matches home and away v top 7. Apart from this, this is a match which is really tight between 2 good teams .

Chelsea have won the last 4 meetings. Bennito Mussolini has taken over at Dunderland, a fascist free zone since April 1st 2013
LEAGUE POSITION – 5th v 17th. Depending on what Spurs do, a Chelsea win could take them 3rd. Sunderland are 4th bottom and have played a game more than Wigan. A win though takes them as high as 14th!
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Chelsea
RECENT HOME FORM – WWWWLDDDWLDWWWW – only 2 home defeats v 1st and 2nd bottom. Worryingly for Blunderland, Chlsea have scored 4 v 3rd bottom and bottom and scored 8 against Villa. Di Canio’s Comrades will have to march in unison to keep the defence solid for the good of the Great Leader.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WWLWDWDLWLWWL – only 2 draws in 16 were both 2-2 and both saw Chelsea leading 2-0 so the draw trade was actually succesful. Only 1 home defeat 0-1 to QPR the only loss against bottom 4 home or away.
GOAL TRENDS – 47% overs at home. Only 5 goals conceded at home this season. Have scored first in 10/15 at home and opponents have led at HT in only 2/15 at home. 2 0-0’s at home v 2nd and 10th.
STREAKS – 4 match home winning streak. No draw in 6 overall. Have scored in last 5 at home. 2 match clean sheets at home.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team- Dunderland
RECENT AWAY FORM – DDDLDLWLLWLWLLL – no draw in 10 away.Sunderland have scored and conceded in last 4 aways. Sunderland have not won against any of the top 9 away.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – WWLLWWDLLLDLDL – no win in 8. Note 2 1-0 defeats recently v arsenal and Man Utd may be a sign of tactics against Chelsea.
GOAL TRENDS – 73% overs away from home. Opponent scores first in about1/2 Sunderland away matches
STREAKS – no draw in 10 away. Have conceded in last 5 away and last 7 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – there is always a concern with new manager,even a fascist dick-tator, that Sunderland could react positively. This makes any conclusions based on form difficult. Will the Great Leader prove a positive? Purely stats wise, Sunderland have 73% overs which is 3/4 of away matches. Chelsea have won last 4 head to heads. No draw in 10 for Sunderland suggests again a home win for the Russians against the Fascist Italian.
Sunderland have not won against any of the top 9 away. This is a match to watch to see how much of an impact the fascist has on Dunderland.
3pm – Newcastle v Fulham – 2.12 home – an imponderable I’m afraid given Newcastle’s injuries and Fulham’s away woes. I think these 2 are safe , but Newcastle are only 3 points infront of 3rd bottom. Fulham have 2 matches in hand and are 9 points ahead of 3rd bottom.

HEAD TO HEADS
01.12.2012 D1 Olympiakos Pireus 2-1 AO Platanias
I suppose the solitary head to head is a good sign for late 0-0 layers.
LEAGUE POSITION – 9th v 1st. 17 points ahead at the top so room for complacency.
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Platypus’ Anus
RECENT HOME FORM – WDWLDWDDLWWLW – good recent form. Home defeats v 2nd 1-2, 3rd 0-3 and 10th 1-2. Conceded 2 and 3 against top 2 sides.All wins have come against 6th and below.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – LLLWWWLLWW – no recent draw, and win and lose 1/2 of those matches shown
GOAL TRENDS – 54% overs at home.
STREAKS – no draw in 5 at home and 10 overallHave scored in last 4 at home and last 7 overall and have conceded in last 3 at home.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Oly. Owe me nothing with 2 successful 1.04 lays in the bag before the failure to score in last match.
RECENT AWAY FORM – WWWDWDDWWWWWWW – you cannot get better away form than that!
RECENT OVERALL FORM – WWLWWWWWWD – 0-0 latest – 10 clean sheets in last 12. Ended an unbeaten sequence v Atromitos and ended scoring sequence last match
GOAL TRENDS – 50/50 overs away from home. Have scored in all aways. Have scored 2 goals v the teams around Platypus’ Anus away from home.
STREAKS – 14 away without defeat, 7 overall. Have kept 6 away clean sheets in a row.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – will Oly really have a 2nd consecutive 0-0 after they scored in all previous matches? I hope not. Still away from home, Oly at least have scored in all matches. 6 away clean sheets now so that may continue. 0-2 looks a lively contender . Goal trends up in the air at 50/50 for both sides. 0-2 I suppose fits into that as being oh so near overs while remaining unders. I will remain faithful in a 0-0 lay if 0-0 late on ( lay as late as you can)

18.04.2010 D1 AFC Ajax 4-0 Heracles Almelo
4-4-3-3-6-3 scored by Ajax. 1.2 suggests a repeat for at least 3 goals.
LEAGUE POSITION – 1st v 10th. 1 match and 1 point ahead of Feyenoord
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Ajax
RECENT HOME FORM – DWWWDLWWWWDDWW – sole loss at home vw 4th place. Have beaten 9th, 11th, 12th, 13th.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WWWDWLWDWDWWWW – only 2 defeats all season. Will Ajax really lose to a team they have consistently scored 3-6 goals against?
GOAL TRENDS – 43% overs is a surprise for a team like Ajax. they have had trouble scoring at home v 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 16th.Score first in 11/14 at home. Only 1 0-0 all season.
STREAKS – no defeat in 8 at home. Have scored in last 8 at home and last 10 overall.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Heracles
RECENT AWAY FORM – LDDWLLDLLWDDLW – inconsistent away from home. Not played 1st or 2nd away. Lost 4-0 v 3rd. All 3 away wins have been to nil. Will HEracles really keep Ajax out?
RECENT OVERALL FORM – LDWLDWDLLWWL – all wins v 7th and below.
GOAL TRENDS – 57% overs away from home. Have conceded 15 in last 1/2 hour of matches.
STREAKS – have scored in last 6 away and last 13 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – the 3-3 these 2 had earlier in the season saw Ajax leading 0-2 and 1-3 so there is dominance there. And head to heads scoring is overwhelming. Heracles away wins have all been to nil, and a to nil scoreline for them is highly unlikely.
I am slightly concerned that Ajax have trouble scoring against so many home teams, managing only 1 goal on many occasions, but historically it looks like they have the edge over Heracles. A positive expectation from Ajax would be for 3 goals minimum. A negative would see them score 1 and therefore leave struggles. Beware Heracles last 1/2 hour v vulnerable. Only 1 0-0 between these 2 all season.

It’s basically down to the best team on the day surely for such an important match?
LEAGUE POSITION – 19th v 18th
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team -QPR – a lot better under El Twitchio
RECENT HOME FORM – LDLDDLDWLLDDDLW – only 1 defeat in last 5 and ended a terrible run of 5 home matches without scoring. Unbeaten against bottom 4, albeit only 2 matches, a 3-1 and a 1-1. Note they scored and conceded. That concession would have been a worry of course if QPR continued to fail to score.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WDDDDLLWWLL – 2 consecutive 3-2 away losses must be gutting. Scoring 4 and not at least getting a draw. A marked stepping on the gas up front? QPR have scored 2-3-2-2 in their last 4 matches. Draws plague matches against bottom 4,
GOAL TRENDS – 47% overs at home. Have conceded 11 goals in the first 1/2 hour at home. HAve scored first in only 2/15 at home. Have never led at halftime at home. 73% of goals scored at home come 2nd half. 4 0-0’s at home is over a 1/4 of home matches so not a reliable 0-0 lay team? ……unless need supercedes stats.
STREAKS – have scored in last 4 overall and conceded last 6 overall.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Wigan
RECENT AWAY FORM – WLLLWLLLLWDDLW – of the bottom 3, only played REading away and won 0-3.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – LLLWLDLDDLWLWW – Wigan staging another fight back exactly at the right time of the season? Wins v Reading, Newcastle and Norwich. Loss v Liverpool. Like QPR there seems to be goals in the Wigan side of late. 2-2-2-1-3-0-2-1 recently. REcent defeats came against the likes of United , Chelsea and Liverpool, and Sunderland.
GOAL TRENDS – 71% overs away from home 81% of away goals scored and 75% of away goals conceded have come 2nd half. No 0-0 for Wigan all season. Only 5 clean sheets all season.
STREAKS – have scored in last 7 away. No draw in 5 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – standout stats? Wigan’s scoring and conceding away happens almost exclusively in the 2nd half. QPR have scored 2-3-2-2 in their last 4 matches which is starkly contrasting earlier efforts. Only 5 clean sheets for Wigan all season suggests QPR could get at least 1. 3 wins in 4 now for Wigan means this really is a toughie. 2 consecutive 3-2 losses for QPR might see a defensive reaction. It does, though, show the state of their alleged ” defence”. A feeling this might be a “best on the day wins” 6 pointer. There is an outside chance for over 3.5 goals as a trade, but how reliant this is amongst relegation fodder is anyone’s guess. No 0-0’s for Wigan this season. I remember we exploited this in a recent Wigan match to some success.

11.12.2010 D1 Genoa 0-1 SSC Napoli
30.01.2010 D1 SSC Napoli 0-0 Genoa
6-2-4 scored by Napoli in their last 3 head to heads. Stark contrast with the 0-1-1 of the previous 3 meetings.
LEAGUE POSITION – 2nd v 17th. It seems Juve have too many points for Napoli to catch them up. Genoa are precariously clutching to survival, 1 point off the trouble zone.
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Napoli
RECENT HOME FORM – WWWWWDDWLWWWDDW – only one loss, a 2-3 v Bologna 3-3-5 scored at home v strugglers this season.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WWWDWWDDDDLWW – only 1 defeat in 13 was away to 15th. 2 recent wins have seen Napoli score 3 and 5, but also concede 2 and 3!!! Is this a concern or are they simply applying the Keeganesque we’ll score more than you?1-0-0-1-0- scored prior to this goal fest. A hope the goal troubles have been put to bed.
GOAL TRENDS – 67% overs at home. Score first in 12/15 at home and the opponent has led at halftime in 1 of 15 matches at home.Cavani is by far the key man for Napoli. Check team news to ensure he is playing. 2 consecutive overs now were the first in 8 matches.
STREAKS – no defeat in 6 at home. Have conceded in 4 overall.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Genoa
RECENT AWAY FORM – LWDLLLWLDLDDDLL – only 2 away wins all season both 0-1 v 6th and 16th. So are they really going to keep Napoli out? Beware a tight match. 1-1 away to 1st and 1-0 loss to 3rd, then, erm, a 3-2 loss to 4th.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – LLDWDWDLLLD – last 3 wins have come at home.
GOAL TRENDS – 33% overs away from home. 73% of away goals are scored and 80% conceded in 2nd half. Have conceded 3-2-3-2 in last 4 matches.
STREAKS – no win in 8 away
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – so we have Napoli whose last 2 matches read 3-2 and 3-5 playing Genoa who’s recent matches read 3-1 loss, 0-2 loss, 3-2 loss and 2-2 loss. Goals anyone? But then we have Genoa only drawing 1-1 to top and losing 1-0 to 3rd ( playing 2nd today). History does point to Napoli scoring 2 or 3 though. 3-3-5 scored by NApoli at home v strugglers.
And this incongruity is shown as 2/3rd of Napoli’s home matches are overs and a 1/3rd of Genoa’s matches away are unders. Be prepared for GEnoa 2nd half action as a huge proportion of their goals scored and conceded have come 2nd half.
VAlue lies with under 2.5 goals as Genoa can pull it off, but as equally a strong argument can be made of even over 3.5 goals. Such incongruity is the footy punter’s worst friend!

Valencia have scored in all head to heads. A slight gap. Most recent a score draw.
LEAGUE POSITION – 7th v 13th
HOME TEAM – -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Valencia
RECENT HOME FORM – DWWWWWLLWWLDWDW – defeats v 2nd, 4th and 9th. 2 of the defeats were to nil. 2-2-3-2-3-2-2 scored at home v 11th and lower is very consistent.
RECENT FORM OVERALL – WWWLWDWWDDLWD – last 3 defeats were to nil. Bar a spanking by Real, the 2 other defeats were 1-0. All 7 draws this season were score draws.
GOAL TRENDS – 60% overs at home. Scored 13 in first 1/2 hour at home and 9 in last 15 mins 2nd half. Scored first in 11/15 at home. Opponent has led at halftime in only 2 home matches.
STREAKS – have scored in last 4 at home.
AWAY TEAM – past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team – Valladolid
RECENT AWAY FORM – WLLLWLWDLLDWDL – no win against top 8 away.
RECENT OVERALL FORM – LLWWLDDLWDDLL – have conceded 4 and 3 in last 2 matches.
GOAL TRENDS – 57% overs away from home. Have scored and conceded in 4 of last 5.
STREAKS – no major streaks.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS – I like the fact that Valencia are consistent with their home goalscoring against 11th and lower.. Recent defeats for Val have been 1-0 away from the big boys so they are tough to beat. Valladolid have not beaten top 8 away and have suddenly shipped 7 in 2 matches. Does that leave them vulnerable to the expected 2 from Valencia?
