Date: 20/10/2011
Competition: Europa League
Match: Udinese vs. Atletico Madrid
Pick: Draw at Half Time
Odds: 2.20
Stake: 5 Units

Venue: Friuli, Udine
Kick-Off: 18:00

The clashes between Udinese and Atletico Madrid should be the most anticipating contests in this group. The two teams are leading the rankings with four points after the first two rounds and the next two rounds will probably decide the winner. If you asked me, Atletico Madrid should have more interest in the Europa League than the Italian side. The reason is that Atletico is seeking to turn the tide, following the recent poor run in the league. On the other side, Udinese is flying high and keeping their place at the top should be a priority for the White-and-Blacks.

Udinese is leading the Serie A race (along with Juventus) running a six-game unbeaten streak. Three wins and three draws are their results so far and the most impressive fact is that they have conceded just one goal (at AC Milan). Francesco Guidolin is enjoying life in the Italian league and he is considering to give some players a rest in the upcoming Europa League rounds, in order to stay close to the top spots. His intentions are clear by his plans to leave captain Antonio Di Natale on the bench and start with Antonio Floro-Flores in the front line. The way I see it, Guidolin will take a conservative approach in the beginning of the game rather than attempting to put the opponents on the sword.

The recent scoring drought has been a headache for Gregorio Manzano. Atletico Madrid hasn't scored in the last three league matches and if there was an excuse for the visit to Camp Nou, failing to find goals against Sevilla (at home) and Granada (on the road) is raising concerns. The Rojiblancos got the three points against Celtic and a late goal at Rennes salvaged a point, thus they are sitting comfortable at the top of Group I for the time being. The double-header with Udinese will probably decide the final rankings, since I don't think that Rennes and Celtic are able to compete for the top-two spots. Atletico Madrid's task won't be easy at Friuli, as they will have to break down the best defense in the Italian Serie A.

Udinese's strong defensive record combined with the scoring drought that Atletico is going through at the moment are two factors that make me think that this should be a tight affair. If the scenario about Di Natale's absence from the starting line-up is correct, then it would add to my initial estimation that the draw at half-time is the most probable outcome.

Possible line-ups:
UDINESE: Handanovic - Benatia, Danilo, Domizzi, Basta - Isla, Pinzi, Asamoah, Abdi - Floro Flores, Fabbrini.
ATLETICO MADRID: Courtois - Perea, Godin, Dominguez, Filipe - Diego, Tiago, Gabi, Reyes - Falcao, Adrian.

Date: 21/10/2011
Competition: German Bundesliga
Match: Augsburg vs. Werder Bremen
Pick: Werder Bremen (-0.5)
Odds: 2.01
Stake: 6 Units

Venue: SGL Arena, Augsburg
Kick-Off: 19:30

Augsburg celebrated their first win in the Bundesliga last week and there is a lot of enthusiasm in the hosts camp. Callsen-Bracker's penalty two minutes before the end earned FCA a historic victory at Mainz, although much credit should be given to goalkeeper Simon Jentzsch. The veteran keeper broke a finger and he is doubtful for tonight's match. He is reported to have 50/50 chances to play with a special glove, but this might be a problem for his performance.

Coach Jos Luhukay has already suggested that it's likely that 22-year-old Mohamed Assif will be given his debut, but this will be decided by a late fitness test. Midfielders Marcel de Jong (6 apps / 0 goals) and Marcel Ndjeng (3 apps / 0 goals), defender Paul Verhaegh (3 apps / 0 goals) and striker Simon Hain (1 app / 0 goal) remain on the sidelines. So Luhukay is expected to stick to the same squad he used in the last round.

Werder Bremen dropped a few places following their second defeat on the trot. Borussia Dortmund escaped Weserstadion with the three points in their bags, despite being forced to play with 10 men for nearly the whole second half. It was a weird result based on the performance of the two teams. Werder dominated much of the play in the first half, yet failed to capitalize on that. Instead Perisic gave the lead to the visitors, but on the 47th min got sent off. Thomas Schaaf's players pushed hard to make a comeback, however Owomoyela delivered the fatal blow on the 72nd minute.
Schaaf is happy to see goalkeeper Tim Wiese available, since Sebastian Mielitz has not exactly impressed with his recent performances. Wiese should be in the starting line-up tonight and should he keep a clean sheet, Werder will most likely find the winning goal(s). That's not an unlikely scenario to me, as Augsburg has only scored one goal in the last three matches. Austrian striker Marko Arnautovic (7 apps / 3 goals) is suspended, while Tim Borowski (MF) is a long-term absentee.

I made a small research to see when it was the last time that Werder Bremen suffered three successive defeats and it was back in the start of the second half of the season 2009/2010. Last year, two defeats on the trot was the most extensive streak and I think that we all rate Werder Bremen higher this season. On the other hand, newcomers Augsburg should not be capable of building a winning streak and a draw would be more than welcome for FCA. The fact that it's a goal-shy team makes me think that Werder Bremen will bounce back to winnings tonight and stay close to the top spots of the Bundesliga.

Possible line-ups:
AUGSBURG: Amsif - Reinhardt, Mohrle, Langkamp, Hosogai - Callsen-Bracker, Davids, Gogia, Bellinghausen, Baier - Molders.
WERDER BREMEN: Wiese - Papastathopoulos, Wolf, Naldo, Schmitz - Bargfrede, Fritz, Hunt - Marin, Rosenberg, Pizarro.

Date: 23/10/2011
Competition: Greek Super League
Match: Panionios vs. Olympiakos
Pick: Olympiakos (-1) A.H.
Odds: 2.08
Stake: 6 Units

Venue: Nea Smyrni Stadium, Athens
Kick-Off: 16:15

In the aftermath of the 3-1 triumph over Borussia Dortmund, champions Olympiakos visit Nea Smyrni to face Panionios. Ernesto Valverde has asked his players to put on a Champions League performance, complaining that they had not been playing at the same level in the Greek league. This is an opportunity for them to take advantage of the momentum and the sky-high morale in their camp, in order to escape Nea Smyrni with all three points in their bags. Olympiakos rarely drops points there, especially when the Reds are not lacking motivation. Valverde has some players missing, but there are many alternatives since he has a big roster to choose from. French defensive midfielder Francois Modesto (4 apps / 0 goals) is suspended and he will join Torosidis (DF), Fuster (AM), Yeste (AM) and Fejsa (MF) on the sidelines. Argentinean winger Vicente Monje, who joined lately from delegated Olympiakos Volou, is likely to make his debut.

Panionios have recorded two wins and two draws so far, but they have earned just one point from three home matches. Coach Takis Lemonis, a former player and coach of Olympiakos, is happy to see Uruguayan midfielder Fabian Estoyanoff (4 apps / 1 goal) back in contention. Nigerian defensive midfielder Suleiman Omo (6 apps / 0 goals) will miss the match due to suspension. In addition, defender Markus Jonsson (5 apps / 0 goals) and midfielder Dejan Milovanovic (5 apps / 0 goals) are sidelined with injuries.

I don't think that this is a time that Olympiakos can afford to waste points. That might happen in the congested fixture a couple of weeks ahead, when the champions will travel to Salonica to face Aris and the next round will see them play the big derby against rivals Panathinaikos. Nea Smyrni has been quite a "friendly" ground for them and I favor them to take a comfortable win.

Date: 27/10/2011
Competition: Turkish Super Lig
Match: Sivasspor vs. Mersin Idman Yurdu
Pick: Sivasspor (Draw No Bet)
Odds: 1.91
Stake: 6 Units

Venue: 4 Eylul, Sivas
Kick-Off: 16:30

Sivasspor has to find the strength to bounce back from the humiliating defeat at Kayserispor. Coach Riza Calimbay felt the need to apologise on behalf of the team to the fans who got frustrated about the 6-2 scoreline. However, there is no time to cry for Sivasspor, as the upcoming fixtures are extremely difficult. Following this match, they will travel to Istanbul to face Besiktas and they will take on Fenerbahce at home afterwards. The match against Genclerbirligi is the next one that they are hoping to take points from, before they go to Turk Telekom Arena to play Galatasaray, host Trabzonspor and play a tricky match against high-flying Orduspor (currently 3rd in the league). Goalkeeper Atilla Koca will probably sit out and Canadian Milan Borjan will take his place.

Mersin IY travels to Sivas, following back-to-back defeats at the hands of Besiktas and Fenerbahce. Prior to those defeats, MIY had achieved a three-game unbeaten run. They held Kayserispor to a 2-2 draw and saw off Gaziantepspor and Antalyaspor. Coach Nurullah Saglam is welcoming back defender Ibrahim Kas (6 apps / 0 goals) and midfielder Andre Moritz (6 apps / 1 goal), who served their suspension.

Even though, I don't expect the Red Devils making any gifts to the hosts, they can still make up for any points lost next week, when poor travelers Genclebirligi visit Mersin. The need for points is significantly higher for Sivasspor, therefore I am backing the hosts on the Draw No Bet handicap.

Your tips are ok, but how about some selections for UK football? I have completely stopped betting on the football which I used to enjoy, but had to stop due to the fact I could not pick my nose never mind any winners!
