Football Tips 25/08/2013

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.

• Man City Barclays Premier League 4.00 PM KO (Away) Best Odds: 5/11 (1.45) Betfair | League Position: 5th | Bet 365 Path: United Kingdom>Barclays Premier League
  Manchester City play Cardiff today and we expect Manchester City to claim 3 points here. Manchester City started their premier league campaign with an impressive 4-0 win whilst Cardiff slumped to a defeat against West Ham without even registering a shot on target. Cardiff are a newly promoted team and against West Ham they lacked creativity. Man City on the other hand were all over Newcastle and they should have scored more. Man City have spent over 100 million this summer and they will be too strong for the league new boys.
• Barcelona Spain Primera Liga 8.00 PM KO (Away) Best Odds: 6/19 (1.32) 188 Bet | League Position: 5th | Bet 365 Path: Spain>Spain Primera Liga
  Barcelona play Malaga and we expect Barcelona to take a win in this one. Barcelona managed to win their first league game 7-0 whilst Malaga lost at home 1-0 to Valencia. Barcelona signed superstar Brazilian Neymar in the summer and he managed to net his first goal last time out in a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid. On the other hand Malaga lost their manager and star player Isco in the summer and with Barcelona winning the last 2 head to heads we expect another win today.
• Guangzhou Evergrande China Super League 1.00 PM KO (Home) Best Odds: 4/9 (1.44) Paddy Power | League Position: 1st | Bet 365 Path: Rest of the World>China Super League
  Guangzhou Evergrande play Guangzhou R&F and we expect the league leaders to make it 4 wins in a row. Guangzhou top the table whilst opponents Guangzhou R&F are in 5th place however 26 points separate these two in the league. Guangzhou have yet to lose a single game in the league and at home they are strong winning 12 from 13. Opponents Guangzhou R&F have hit some form winning their last 3 however away from home they are not great winning just 3 from their last 18 away games.
• Shakhtar Donetsk Ukraine Vyscha Liga 5.30 PM KO (Away) Best Odds: 4/5 (1.8) WilliamHill | League Position: 1st | Bet 365 Path: Europe>Ukraine Vyscha Liga
  2nd plays 3rd today and we give the edge to Shakhtar today despite being away from home. Shakhtar have made it 7 wins from 7 since the new season started and like last season when they won the league they are in red hot form. Opponents Dinipro have also started the season well with 2 wins and a draw from their last 3 league games however on Thursday they had a Europa league away game and we expect that trip to take its toll. Compare that to Shakhtar who have had a weeks rest since their last game.
• Bodo/Glimt Norway Division 1 5.00 PM KO (Home) Best Odds: 2/5 (1.4) bet 365 | League Position: 1st | Bet 365 Path: Norway>Norway Division 1
  Bodo/Glimt are in red hot form and we expect them to notch another win today against Mjondalen. Bodo/Glimt top the table and have now won 10 successive league games in a row with their last defeat coming 16 games ago. 10th placed Mjondalen have hit some good form and have not lost in 5 matches now however Bodo/Glimt have won the last 2 head to head games and we expect the trend to continue today especially with bodo/Glimt being at home.
• Napoli Italy Seria A 7.45 PM KO (Home) Best Odds: 4/11 (1.36) bet 365 | League Position: N/A | Bet 365 Path: Italy>Italy Seria A
  Napoli start the new season with a home game against Bologna and we fancy Napoli to make a winning start. Napoli have a new manager at the helm and have spent heavily in the summer signing the likes of Huiguin, Pepe Reina, Albiol, Callejon and Mertens. Bologna on the other hand have lost Gilardino and Gabbiadini to other teams and there will be question marks on who will score the goals for them this season. The last time these two teams met it ended in a 3-0 Napoli win.
• Real Garcilaso Peru Primera Division 9.00 PM KO (Home) Best Odds: 2/5 (1.4) Betfred | League Position: 1st | Bet 365 Path: The Americas>Peru Primera Division
  Real Garcilaso play Universidad San Martin and we expect Real Garcilaso to win. Real Garcilaso are top of the league and although they slipped up last time out when they played away, at home they are strong and currently unbeaten in 14 home league matches. In fact Garcilaso have only lost 1 home league match from 37. Opponents Universidad are 3rd bottom and away from home they have been poor winning just 3 and losing 11.
