Manchester City has big ambitions for this season, hoping for a Champions League place. However, their ambitions where shattered by Hull City in the last round. Hull won 2-1, but Man City made a good impression, having some score chances, and they should get more from that game. At home, they're having a good period, scoring a lot of goals and winning games: 2-1 with Chelsea, 4-3 with Sunderland, 2-0 against Stoke City and Portsmouth and a smashing 4-1 against Blackburn. I think they will continue scoring also in this game against Bolton, who received 21 goals in 10 away games. Man City has also a bad defense at home for a team who wants to play in Champions League, by receiving 14 goals in 11 games.

Bolton is fighting to avoid relegation this EPL season, so the motivation is consistent in every game till the end of the season. They don't play very bad, but they have very bad results in away games. However, they've managed to score 2 goals on Emirates and 1 goal on Old Trafford. Against Manchester City they could have some score chances.

Manchester City will miss Craig Bellamy, while Joleon Lescott and Micah Richards are doubtful for this game, but there are some chances for them to play. Vincent Kompany has a groin problem and won't be ready to play for Man City this round. Roque Santa Cruz is also back after a calf strain.

Bolton will miss some players, Gavin McCann, Ivan Klasnic, Gary Cahill, Valdimir Weiss, while Andy O'Brien and Fabrice Muamba are both doubtful.

Our prediction: Over 2.75, 7/10 @1.93 at Bet365

As I said above, I expect a high scoring game. In my opinion, the team which will score more is Man City, seeing at lest 2 goals from an offensive team like they are at home. If they would manage to make a very good defensive game after they score, the game can end with a 2-0 final score and the over 2.75 bet will be lost. However this bet will cover the stake we loose with that bet. If Bolton will score and Man City wins, this means a score of 2-1 or more (at least 3 goals), so we'll cover the stake we loose with this bet. But I hope for a final score of 3-1, 3-0, 3-2.

Our prediction: Man City -1.25 AH, 6/10 @2.04 at Pinnacle

What can I say about this game? Manchester United is in great form, winning on Emirates 3-1, at home against Man City also 3-1 or 4-0 against Hull. Rooney is a scoring machine, Nani is developing in a real good player, Berbatov, Carrick or Valencia are also valuable players. Man Utd has some levels above Portsmouth, a team with big troubles in the last period. Portsmouth will be most probably relegated at the end of the season, probably last placed in Premier League. They are losing a lot of games in away matches, receiving 19 goals and scoring only 5 in 12 games. But they are now playing on Old Trafford, and I see Man Utd scoring a lot today. I have no doubt that Man Utd will try to have an advance of at least 2 goals to have a restful final of the game, but they can score much more on a counter attack strategy. The odds seems very good in my opinion, I can't see this bet lost, maybe void, but not lost.

Our prediction: Man Utd -2 AH, 9/10 @1.85 at Gamebookers

Bayern Munich is fighting with Leverkusen and Schalke 04 to win the Bundesliga trophy this season, but they seem to be in the better form than their opponents. Unbeaten since 26 September, when they played in away game against Hamburger, they had a really good period this year. The bad results were in the start of the season, but now they are in winning row of 7 games, scoring a lot of goals, having a great team with Ribery, Robben, Gomez, Olic and others. If they could keep this form for a long period, they'll win the Bundesliga this year. And I really see them continuing earning points.

Bayern will start this game with a full squad, no worries for van Gaal. Maybe, Ribery won't start the game, or he will be substituted in the second half, because he is not prepared yet to play 90 minutes.
Possible starting team: Butt – Lahm, van Buyten, Demichelis, Badstuber – Robben, van Bommel, Schweinsteiger, Mueller – Gomez, Olic

Wolfsburg are the former champions in Bundesliga, but this year they are playing very bad. Probably, the reason of such bad results is the leaving of Felix Magath at Schalke, a team which is performing very well now. They have a full squad for this game, good players, but bad tactics and I can't see them putting troubles to Bayern which is really playing great. If you can't win since the begin of November, and you loose at home against Koln or Dortmund, why Bayern shouldn't win this game?

Possible starting team: Lenz – Riether, Madlung, Barzagli, Schaefer – Hasebe, Josue, Gentner – Misimovic – Dzeko, Grafite

The odds are good for a victory of Bayern, but I choose this type of bet, because I put my confidence in a 2 goal difference winning game for Bayern.

Our prediction: Bayern -0.75, 6/10 @1.92 at 188Bet

Chelsea is playing against Hull today as a postponed game. Coming after a hard win on Turf Moor (Burnley's stadium), scoring the winning goal in the latest minutes, Chelsea will be more cautious today if they want to keep the 4 points advance in Premier League. With Drogba returning from Africa Cup of Nations, they will have enough power attack to score. If they will score first, I think they will close the game and waiting the final whistle. Of course, they'll play their card on a counter attack style of play, but this is not a reason to see a rain of goals.

Chelsea probable first team: Chech, Cole, Terry, Alex, Ivanovic, Malouda, Lampard, Ballack, Joe Cole, Drogba, Anelka.

Hull is in a bad form in the last period, their last win is on 25 November. Also, they scored only a goal against good teams like Arsenal, Tottenham or Man Utd in this period. I see them having a lot of trouble passing through Chelsea's defense. Of couse, you can ask why I choose an under 2.75 bet instead of going on Chelsea wining with handicap. As I said above, Chelsea had a hard game against Burnley, so even if Hull won't score today, Chelsea will hardly score 2 or more goals. Chelsea wins 2-0, the under 2.75 bet is won, Chelsea won 2-1 or 3-0, we'll lost half of stake. But I really don't see a game with more than 2 goals.

Our prediction: Under 2.75, 6/10 @2.00 at Pinnacle
