Chesterfield - Doncastermarket: FT, Chesterfield to winLOSTBet365 in Fractional - 13/8, in Decimal - 2.62Ladbrokes in fractional - 11/8Here we go today with a classic fight for breath on the bottom of League 1 in England. Chesterfield are at the edge - they win and stay in the relegation battle or lose and make their life harder than ever.Chesterfield boss Lee Richardson has added Alan Knill to his backroom staff. Knill, who was sacked as Rotherham manager at the start of March, will assist Richardson with coaching duties. And the top priority is clear - to stay at League 1. That means nothing than a win today when Doncaster comes to play for nothing. Chesterfield are without midfielder Charlie Daniels (knee) and utility-man Gaz Davies (shin). Winger Adam Smith (knee) is another long-term absentee, while the game comes too soon for defender Alan O'Hare and striker Jamie Ward.Doncaster boss Sean O'Driscoll is expected to hand former Everton forward Danny Cad...

Man United - Boromarket: 90 minutes, drawBet365 in Fractional - 7/2, in Decimal - 4.50If you dare to even think it might not be Man United in this one, you can get a generous prize of 7/2 that bet365 gives today. I am one of those that really believe when it comes to play against Unietd it is an extreme motivation factor that can decide some games. And, surely, Boro are in front of their match of the season and no other front to chase the glory. What is more, the squad gained some good results at Traford in the last 5 years - they took 2 wins against the Red Devils at their own stadium.Belfast-born teenager Craig Cathcart has been called into an injury-hit Manchester United squad. Wes Brown will replace Gary Neville, while Alan Smith may take over Ryan Giggs' striking responsibilities.

The Risk On Chelsea Is Worthy

Tottenham - Chelsea market: full time, Chelsea to winBet365 in Fractional - 11/10, in Decimal - 2.10Tottenham seem to be in a tremendous form in the last month, both in Europe and home. They score and score and it is hard to believe that someone can stop them of winning a trophy this season. But I insist on searching for a wrong step for Spurs that will make them more careful in the future games. And this FA Cup replay, which will give a generous prize of a semifinal spot, is the perfect occasion.Bad news for Chelsea - attacking trio Berbatov, Keane and Lennon are expected to return in the squad for this clash. They missed the last game and will be fresh on Monday night. Essien is the only injury concern for Chelsea.Why do I think Chelsea should be a favourite to win this one (bookies don't, they gave tasty 11/10 for the visitors)?

Bayern To Keep The Tempo In The Bundesliga
2007-03-17 10:09:00 Pick For Today - LOST1. Frankfurt - Bayer n market: FT, Bayern to winBet365 in Fractional - 4/6, in Decimal - 1.66Energie beat Herta 1:0 in the opening of the weekend round yesterday and I think no more such surprises are coming in the next few days in the Bund esliga championship. Specially when it comes to the giants that chase desperately the title.The men from Munich lie six points adrift of top club Schalke, three behind Werder Bremen, and two off VfB Stuttgart, who travel to face the leaders. Bayern will use the clash on the top and gain easy 3 points in Frankfurt which will ensure the progress in the table. The form of the squad is going better and better each game and the poor away performances seems to lay in the past. The team will be also boosted by the Hitzfeld's decision to extend his contract until June 2008. Claudio Pizarro may not be fit to join the battle after sitting out Friday's final training session with a niggling knee problem, although the Peru man will make t... More About: Liga
Premierleague Weekend - Preview
2007-03-16 09:42:00 Chelsea cut Man United’s lead in the Premiership to six points when beating Man City 1-0 in the week - prompting bet365 to cut them to 7/2 for the title (1/6 United) – but the gap is likely to be back to nine points by the time they kick off against Sheffield United on Saturday. That’s because the Red Devils should be far too hot Bolton in the 12.45pm early kick off game on Saturday, and bet365 certainly think so too judging on their 3/10 quote on the home win. If that’s too short for you then, considering Bolton’s poor form of late, try a punt on the double result at 4/5 instead. Expect United to come out of the traps quickly to blow the Trotters away early doors. Remember, the last time these two teams met, Wayne Rooney took the match ball home, and he’s 16/1 with bet365 to score another hat-trick. Of course, Chelsea look to have a relatively easy task too and (with just 1/6 on the home win) a punt on the bet365 correct score market could pay dividends. The Blades have...

And today AZ should prove once again that they have powerful strikers ready to score goals, specially at home. The Dutch side is a typical team dominant at home and not so confident in the visits. Arveladze are probably their best hope for scoring 2 goals more today and book his team a place in the upcoming draw in Glasgow on Friday.This season Newcastle is the perfect mystery team for me in the Premierleague and Europe. They can beat everyone but are really also able to lose games by funny opponents. Specially when play away the squad often performs under the line and I expect another evening like that when they face AZ in front of the Dutch crowd.

Chelsea - Tottenhammarket: full time, Chelsea to winBet365 in Fractional - 4/9, in Decimal - 1.44What we have in this FA Cup derby on Sunday are two teams in great form and successful European runs so far. Chelsea qualified for Champions league 1/4finals in the midweek while Tottenham secured their next UEFA Cup round early in the first leg beating away 3-2 Braga.We have a couple of important facts to consider before making the prediction for this game - 1. which team had more hours for recovering and 2. which team have less injury concerns and longer bench. And the answer of both is Chelsea.ChelseaChelsea boss Jose Mourinho has to decide whether to recall head-injury victim John Terry. The team have no fresh injury worries following their midweek Champions League win over Porto, with Joe Cole (foot) their only long-term absentee.

Massive 9/2 Award To Take The Risk On Boro

Boro - Man Unitedmarket: full time, Boro to winBet365 in Fractional - 9/2, in Decimal - 5.50Call it madness but I think that Boro's home form can secure a comfort win when they face United in this FA Cup round on Saturday. And even there is a slight chance to get a 9/2 prize I will go for it, for sure. So, forget about the Boro's replays in the previous rounds and the statistics (which, by the way, show interesting 2-0-3 head-to-head at this stadium in the last 4 years) and concentrate on the current form and the mix of important facts before the game.MiddlesbroughNo doubt that the key for Middlesbrough will be the form of Stewart Downing, Mark Viduka and Yakubu. The last two enjoy a great season so far as first choice strikers. If they manage to keep the preasure on United's defence in all 90 minutes it is likely to score one at least. One win here can save the whole season for Boro and it will be better not to underestimate the importance of this motiv... More About: War , Take , Risk , Award , Ward

Birmingham - Derbymarket: full time, B'gham to winBet365 in Fractional - 1/1, in Decimal - 2.00Bwin in Decimal - 1.95It smells like a draw but I am afraid it won't be so. To be honest my first opinion on the game was "sure draw" after Birmingham took 2 wins in a row at home against Leeds and Cardiff (1:0 both). The reason I have changed my mind? The Blue's treatment room is empty for the first time in years and Steve Bruce will have a full squad to pick from. Birmingham have all sort of problems when key players are out but we can clearly see the trend of improved performance after they are fit and back in play. Now Mikael Forssell is back in the squad after returning to fitness following knee surgery. Damien Johnson is fit after a hamstring problem.On the other hand Derby are without defender Michael Johnson with a torn hamstring which is likely to keep him out for the rest of the season...

The two sides met in the first round of the 1984/85 UEFA Cup, but it was a meeting Braga would rather forget. After losing 3-0 at home, they were beaten 6-0 at White Hart Lane. So, firstly, the history is on Londoners side tonight.Tottenham are in great form in Premierleague in England, scoring many goals and improving their away performance (last game 3:4 win as a guest to West Ham).

Who Will Win The Cricket World Cup?
2007-03-07 16:53:00 bet365 make Australia 9/4 favourites to win the cricket World Cup , but the competition looks wide open and many bet365 customers have been keen to snap up the 17/2 on England after their recent success in the Commonwealth Bank Series. The critical phase of the tournament is going to be the Super 8 stage with eight equal teams matching up against each other, and the outright winner is likely to be the team that can handle the pressure best. Exciting stuff and, as the tournament proper doesn’t get under way until Tuesday March 13th, there’s still plenty of time to get stuck into bet365's numerous outright markets including ‘Top Batsman’ – top of their list is Rick y Ponting at 13/2 – and ‘Top Bowler’ – Monty Panesar at 40/1 anyone?

21/10 For Draw At Anfield This Weekend
2007-03-02 09:50:00 We are now at the business end of the season, and Man United are getting close to their first title in four years. A win at Anfield on Saturday will take them 12 points clear but the smart money has been on Liverpool at 8/5 with bet365, who are once again betting every Premiership game to 107% this weekend (17/10 Man United, 21/10 the Draw ). That’s no wonder as the Reds are on a real high after their victory at the Nou Camp and a 4-0 thrashing of Sheffield United. Of course, United will provide them with a stern test but you can’t pick any holes in Liverpool’s home record this season (11-3-0), while they are on course to equal last season’s fine record of just eight goals conceded at home (just three conceded so far). So it’s quite easy to make a case for a home win that would really open up the title race, especially as Chelsea (1/2 bet365) are expected to get a win at Portsmouth.

Their opponents Arsenal are 11/8 with bet365 to win the trophy outright (including extra time and penalties) but, if you think they can get the job done in 90-minutes, a more generous 9/4 is on offer. The draw is available at 21/10. Anhone thinking of backing Arsenal will be encouraged by their performances against the top clubs this season, but the question remains whether their young and inexperienced squad will be able to cope with Chelsea? The Blues have rediscovered their consistency of late which is more than can be said for the Gunners. Their fine FA Cup win against Bolton is in stark contrast to their recent performances against Wigan (outplayed them for over an hour) and Blackburn (frustrated them).
