Expert Betting - best sport picks you can get

Most of the bets on this game are for Manchester to win because they are playing very good in last period, others take Bayern because they "need" to win as they will have a hard time on Old Trafford. I am honest and say that I can't see any team here to be favourite enough to take a bet. However, I must say that I'm confident in an over 2.5 goals bet for this game. We have two teams with strong attack, players like Robben, Ribery or Rooney are scoring a lot in their local competitions, but also in Champions League. I know that for the first leg both teams will play a little cautious, but if we have a little bit luck to see goal in first half of hour, the game should be spectacular. We all saw what happened on San Siro when that first goal came soon. I don't like too much the Bayern's defense, and I think Man Utd will find a way to score and make the second leg easy for them.

Also, both teams have different philosophies than the italian teams for example. They are trying to win the games, rarely will be glad with a draw. Man Utd haven't stopped to score again AC Milan in the second leg even if they won the first leg. I see Man Utd to have the first chance for a qualification, but after the second leg. For this game I will only take this bet, over 2.5.

Probable teams:
Bayern Munich: Butt, Lahm, Van Buyten, Demichelis, Badstuber, Van Bommel, Pranjic, Robben, Muller, Ribery, Gomez.

Man Utd: Van Der Sar, Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, Neville, Parj Ji-Sung, Carrick, Fletcher, Nani, Rooney, Valencia.

Our prediction: Over 2.5, 5/10 @2.11 at Pinnacle

Final result: 2 - 1, +5.55

Early pick for this bet as the odds could go down in the next days. The goals line is maybe too high in this game, but normally after all the high scoring results Real Madrid made in latest games. I don't want to risk too much for this bet, 5 units will be enough to see if this will be a high scoring game as a lot will expect. Real plays only in Primera, no Champions League games, so they will try to win all the games remained for this season. They are in a 10 games winning streak, scoring 36 goals and receiving 10. So, 4.6 goals is the average per game in this period which is pretty high. Ok, we can't bet in this game only watching the latest results, but we can bet if we have more reasons. This is a local derby, both teams will make everything to win this game. Maybe Atletico will be glad to get 1 point, but we are sure that Real Madrid want all 3 points. I really think that Ronaldo, Higuian and the rest of the team won't disappoint us in this game and they will score 2,3 or more goals.

On the other hand, Atletico plays bad in away games, and even if they have a great squad, the results are the opposite. However, I think that in this game they will be motivated enough to play better and maybe score once or twice. Like Real Madrid, they also have some good players in attack like Forlan, Aguero or Reyes.

We have here the champions of latest seasons playing against Livorno, last placed in Serie A. If Livorno tries to get some points to avoid relegation (which is possible), Inter should recover after all bad results they had in last period and win some vital points in this game. They had a big advantage a few months ago and looked that they'll be again the winners in Serie A. However, AC Milan and AS Roma are fighting for the first place and if Inter continues to loose points, probably they will loose also the title.

In my opinion this game will obviously end with a home win, but we need at least 2 goal difference to get some profit with this bet. Mourinho is a winner and I don't think he will missed the chance to win this trophy and he'll motivate his players in every game since now. CSKA Moscow is maybe the easiest opponent in Champions League they could have, so they will have the mental strength to win games also Serie A. If they win this game with 2 or more goals difference, their morale will be raised and probably they'll be back with more good results in the coming games.

I noticed some missing players for Inter, like Sneijder, Santon or Stankovic. However, they have a lot of good substitutes for these players. On the other side, Livorno will miss Moro and Bergvold.

Even if per total I don't like how teams coached by Mourinho are playing, I must admit that he is a good coach and maybe most important, he gets a lot of trophies. I'm confident here that Inter won't disappoint their fans and the guys who are betting on them in this game.

Our prediction: Inter -1.75, 7/10 @2.08 at Bet365

Final result: 3 - 0, +7.56

We saw great games on last 2 encounters on Old Trafford between Man Utd and Liverpool: 3-0 for Manchester in 2008 and 4-1 for Liverpool in 2009. That 3-0 was the last win for Manchester and since then, they've lost 3 games.

Even if I think that Man Utd will win this game, I can't bet on such low odds. Liverpool is a very unpredictable team, and even if they would make bad results with small teams, they will always play very good against the big teams in England and Europe. An over 2.5 bet is more likely for me if we are watching the last results for both teams.

Liverpool won their last 2 games against Portsmouth and Lille and had Torres scoring 4 goals. They are playing well, but the problem here is that they really should win this game to keep chances for the 4th place.

The stake for Man Utd here is huge. They are credited with most chances to win the Premier League, but in this moment Arsenal is the leader and the Gunners already played against Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool. They only have to play against Tottehnam in away game and at Home with Man City. However, all the games could be won. So, Man Utd should make no mistake in this game if they want to comeback in the leadership of  Premier League. Also they will play against Chelsea, Man City or Tottenham. So, they have a harder schedule.

With such an important stake, both teams will try to score and win the game and I see we'll see a good game with 3 or maybe more goals. The odds are quite high.

I can't bet against Real Madrid in this game because they couldn't qualify in Champions League quarter finals. I think they deserved to qualify, but this is another problem. However, we can't compare Lyon with Valladolid, as the today hosts are 19th placed in Primera Division. They are in a bad period and I don't really think they will avoid relegation this season.

Real Madrid will be without Kaka, but with Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuian, playing more motivated now to win the Primera. I head that a cousin of Ronaldo, who was close to the portuguese, has died. I think this will be a reason for Ronaldo to try score a goal in this game. Higuain also must score to be forgiven by the fans after that huge scoring change against Lyon.

So, with no further Champions League games, Real Madrid will do their best in every remaining game this season and try to save the season by winning a trophy, maybe the most important for them (maybe!).

Our prediction: Real -1.5 AH, 7/10 @1.88 at Pinnacle

Final result: 1 - 4, +6.16

Juventus has a good opportunity today to get the 4th place in Serie A, playing at home against last placed Siena. Palermo, 4th place in this moment, has a hard game against Udinese, in away ground.

I expected a handicap of 1.5 for this game, and this is one of the main reasons taking this bet - a good value. Of course, the odds could be so high because of the good results Siena made in the last games. Juventus was playing in Europe League and won 3-1 against Fulham, a win which gives them good chances of getting in the text round.

Siena won last 3 away games, against Livorno and Chievo, so good results for them in last period. In all other away games, except first round, they've lost all games. With 10 defeats in away games, scores like 4-1 against Sampdoria, 4-2 against Genoa, 4-3 against Internazionale or 4-0 against AC Milan show us a weak team.

In the last 11 games between these teams, Juventus won 10 and lost only one. However that game was at the end of the season, when Juventus were 3rd placed, without chances to go down or up. So, the history shows us that Juventus had some easy wins against Siena, they scored 25 goals and received only 4.

Our prediction: Juventus -1.25, 5/10 @2.02 at 188Bet

Final result: 3 - 3, -5.00

Without Totti and Vucinic, the odds for an over game here are low. However, AS Roma is good team, scoring a lot of goals, and even without these 2 players they can score against a team which is struggling to avoid relegation. Toni has a good chance here to show us again that he really is a topscorer. I think Roma will score at least goal without too many problems. Depending on the time they score, or if Livorno will score, we can see more goals for Roma.

Livorno, 18th placed, is fighting to avoid relegation and I don't think they will defend all the game and be pleased with only 1 point. They need to attack to win 3 points if they want to play next season again in Serie A.

I think we can see at least 2 goals for this game, and with a little bit luck maybe we'll see 3, or who knows, more than 3.

Our prediction: Over 2.25, 8/10 @1.91 at Pinnacle

Final result: 3 - 3, +7.28

Bayen showed weakness in the latest games, when they lost some points against Koln and Nurnberg. Also they had qualified in the Champions League quarter finals, but only because they've score more goals in away game than Fiorentina did on Allianz Arena. However, at home they are playing great football and they can defeat any opponent if they are in a good day. The Champions League "stress" is finished for the moment, and until they'll play in the next round, they should concentrate on Bundesliga as we see Schalke with some good results in the last period. Also, Schalke is the leader for the moment in Bundesliga, Bayern should win if they want to lead again. With a little bit luck, if Bayern will score soon in the game they'll play more relaxed and will find the net easier as Freiburg will need to attack. Ribery wasn't 100% fit against Fiorentina and he will miss this game. However, with Robben, Gomez or Muller, Bayern will have great chances to score.

Freiburg is fighting to avoid relegation, but let's be honest, what chances will they have in this game as they couldn't manage to win a single game since the end of November. Even if they had some good results in away games like 1-0 against Schalke, or 4-0 against Hertha, they are playing very bad in this period. They are fighting with Nurnberg and Hannover for only one saving position, and maybe they will avoid relegation, but I really don't give them too many chances today.

Our prediction: Bayern -2 AH, 6/10 @1.97 at Pinnacle

Final result: 2 - 1, -6.00

Over the last 6 games, Schalke and Stuttgart earned 13 points each, so we can say they're both in great form. Schalke is fighting against Bayern Munchen and Leverkusen for the first place in Bundesliga, while Stuttgart is fighting for an European qualifying place.

Schalke has 7 wins in a row and is undefeated for 10 games playing on home ground. They play a good football, have a good defense (they've received only 9 goals at home), and seems to manage well the important games ( except maybe the both games against Wolfsburg).

No doubt that Sttutgart is a good team and playing a good football. In normal conditions I'm not sure that I would take this bet, but as we all know, they are playing next week on Nou Camp. After the 1-1 draw against the catalans, we can say there is still hope for the Champions League quarter finals. They still got chances for an European qualifying place in Bundesliga, and for sure they'll try till the end to achieve it. However, will the playing have in their mind only the game against Schalke, or they'll be thinking about that CL game?

Our prediction: Schalke to win, 6/10 @2.09 at 188Bet

Final result: 2 - 1, +6.54

We enjoyed a very good game in the first leg, when Manchester won 3-2, with Rooney scoring 2 goals. The good news for the English team is that Rooney will be back in the first line up in this game.

AC Milan needs to score at least twice to have a chance for the next stages, so they really should go in offensive strikes from the beginning of the game. I don't like AC Milan style of playing for a couple of years, but they are showing good performance this year with Ronaldinho in good shape. Also, players like Pato, Huntelaar or Boriello can pass through the United's defense and score. AC Milan will have great scoring chances if they will receive any free kick around the penalty area, as we all know how many free kick goals scored by Pirlo, Beckham or Ronaldinho we saw.

With AC Milan trying to get the ball in the opponents' penalty area, Rooney will have a lot of counter attack chances. I don't think Manchester will defend all the game waiting for the final whistle, but they won't play as if they really need the victory. However they won't say "no" to any counter attack chance.

With such offensive players for both teams, I think this game will be at the same level with the first leg, and we'll enjoy watching some goals tonight.

Our prediction: Over 2.5, 7/10 @1.88 at Pinnacle

Final result: 4 - 0, +6.16

In the last period I've staked on over bets when Real Madrid played at home. The reason is simple, they had on of the best squad a team ever had in the last decade. And also they are maybe in their best shape this season. Ok, they lost the first leg at Lyon, event if they had better possession, but on Santiago Bernabeu the things will be different. Now it's the second leg, Real will go in offensive from the first minute, how can any team to keep a clean sheet 2 games against Real Madrid in this period? I don't think Lyon's plan is to defend all the 90 minutes, so they will try to score. If they will score, Real needs at least 3 goals to qualify.

Also, if Real will score soon in the game, Lyon can't hope to reach the extra time or penalties. They really need to play some football tonight and score once ore more if they want a real chance for the quarter finals. Real Madrid won't stop for a second to defend, even if they will lead 2-0, Lyon can score in every moment and qualify. So, maybe if Real will have a 3 goals (at least) advantage they will defend. This game has a change to be a high scoring game, maybe more than 4 goals, and the odds offered for this bet are good enough.

Final result: 1 - 1, -6.00

Well, we can see how well is playing Real Madrid on home ground, but they are now playing against Sevilla. The recent history showed us great games between these two teams playing on Bernabeu. I the last 3 Primera Division seasons, Real Madrid won twice (3-2 in 2007 and 3-1 in 2008), and Sevilla won the game in the last season (4-3).
