Football Tips 25/03/2013

The best way to work our system is to use it as a pick n mix. We’ll tell you why we picked the games and you are free to choose from the choices you like the look of. You can back our new system as singles, doubles, trebles or you can even push the boat and cover everything with a small stake. See the bottom of this page for how you might want to place your bets depending on the risk you want to take.

• Scotland U21 (Handicap result -1)
  European – U21 Championship Qualifier 7.30 PM KO
  Best Odds: 2/5 (1.40) Stan James | League Position: N/A | Bet 365 Path: Internationals > European U21 Championship Qualifier
  Scotland will see this match as 3 easy points tonight as they face Luxembourg, a team who have only ever managed 1 win in the competition, this is over 36 games! These have met twice before, 3-0 and 5-1 to Scotland and with Luxembourg conceding 3 or more goals in the past 8 games we can see a similar these scoreline happening tonight. Scotland are fairly strong at home in the competition losing only 1 in their past 13 games. Only 1 spot is available for automatic entry into next round and Scotland will need to win these games if they are to beat the Netherlands to it, who are arguably the strongest team in group 3.  
• England U21
  International – Friendly 7.45 PM KO
  Best Odds: 4/11 (1.36) Bet 365 | League Position: N/A | Bet 365 Path: Internationals > International Match
  We tipped the England U21′s last week and they did not disappoint , defeating Romania 3-0. We are going with our boys again today as they face Austria Under 21′s, a team slightly lower on the FIFA world rankings than Romania, in 20th. The last time these two met Austria won 2-1 but England have a much better team now then they did in 2005 and are currently on an eight-game winning streak stretching back to November 2011 which has seen them keep clean sheets in all of these victories.  

• Tomsk (DRAW NO BET)
  Russia – Division 1 3:00 PM KO
  Best Odds: 8/15 (1.53) Paddy Power | League Position: 1st | Bet 365 Path: Europe > Russia Division 1
  Tom Tomsk travel to the Stadion Shinnik for their clash with 12th in the table Shinnik. Tom Tomsk are in great away form winning 4 of their last 5 away including a recent win over 4th place Baltika who only managed to score againt the league leaders through a Votinov penalty. Tom Tomsk are not only well equipped up front but have a fantastic midfield who have chipped in an impressive 40 goals this season. Head to head, Shinnik have never had the better of this fixture for over 8 years.  
• Arna-Bjornar Women
  Europe – Friendlies – 6:00 PM KO
  Best Odds: 3/10 (1.33) Bwin | League Position: N/A | Bet 365 Path: Europe > Europe Friendlies
  2nd place Arna-Bjornar women face 8th Valerenga in a friendly today and will look to make it 3 wins in a row against them, the last two ended 5-0 and 3-1. At home, Arna are very strong, undefeated in their last 8 games and winning 7 of these compared to Valerenga who do not travel well and have managed just 1 win 6 away, this against bottom of the league Fart who have a -99 goal difference.
   
• Belgium U21
  European – Championship Qualifier 7.00 PM KO
  Best Odds: 2/5 (1.40) Bet 365 | League Position: N/A | Bet 365 Path: Internationals > European U21 Championship Qualifier
  Belgium U21′s currently sit 21st in the club world ranking, 19 places above today’s opponent, Cyprus, and wins against the more easy teams in the group are vital with only 1 automatic spot into the next round and Italy and Serbia also in the group. They have met twice before, Belgium won both 3-2 and 2-0. Both teams appear to be in good form recently but Cyprus have been winning against less skilled teams, including a slim 2-1 win over the worst team in the competition, San Marino and looking back further we can see that they have only ever won 8 games in the competition since 2004.
   
• Chelmsford
  England – Blue Square South 7:45 PM KO
  Best Odds: 8/13 (1.62) 888 sport | League Position: 4th | Bet 365 Path: United Kingdom > Blue Square South
  4th place Chelmsford host Eastbourne Borough at the Chelmsford Sport & Athletics Centre. Chelmsford have won the past 2 meetings home and away between the 2 sides scoring 4 and conceding 1. Chelmsford will be looking to build upon their impressive home form only losing once in their last 14 matches. Their last loss at home was down to very unlucky circumstances conceding a penalty in the 2nd minute and then conceding an own goal in the last 20 minutes.  
• Lowestoft Town (DOUBLE CHANCE WIN/DRAW)
  England – Ryman Premier Division – 7.45 PM KO
  Best Odds: 3/10 (1.33) Bet 365 | League Position: 4th | Bet 365 Path: United Kingdom > Ryman Premier Division
  4th place Lowestoft Town travel to Kingston upon Thames to face Kingtonian who are 9th place and on a 3 game losing streak at home which has seen them score 1 and concede 6 in the process. Lowestoft are enjoying a 17 game unbeaten streak which includes 7 away victories on the trot. There have been 5 previous head to heads between these two and Kingstonian have won 3 of these, 1 drawn and the other to our tip Lowestoft, due to this we are tipping a double chance Win or Draw.  

• De Graafschap Reserves v Roda JC Reserves (DRAW)
  Holland – Beloften Eredivisie – 5.30 PM KO
  Best Odds: 13/5 (3.60) Bet 365 | League Position: N/A | Bet 365 Path: Europe > Holland Beloften Eredivisie
  5th plays 6th in the league today and we fancy a stalemate. Roda JC reserves have managed to draw 4 times in their last 5 games away from home. Whilst De Graafschap reserves have managed 2 draws in 5 games although at home De Graafschap have yet to draw but with the teams so close in the league we feel a draw is a very big possibility. In the last head to head this match ended in a draw.

Below is a list of tips we considered for today’s tips but didn’t add above. All these tips have a chance, but we elected not to have them in our official list.

• Arbil
  Iraq – League 2.00 PM KO (1.62)
  Arbil in top form and are currently unbeaten in 11 games. however last time they played opposition it ended in 2 draws.
• Slavia Prague U21
  Czech – U21 League 2.00 PM KO (1.28)
  Slavia Prague are 2nd in the league and opponents are 3rd bottom. Would have made it in are selections but Slavia lost last time out against bottom of the league.
• Dundee Utd U20
  Scotland – Premier U20 League 7:00 PM KO (1.50)
  Dundee Utd are in 3rd place and opponents down in 13th. Dundee won the last fixture between these two, be wary tho as Motherwell always seem to score. Maybe Both teams to score should be considered.
