Football Tips 28/02/2014

5 days ago Stromsgodset played a game in Spain against Lokomotiv Moscow, the game ended a very surprising 15-0 and even led to the ref calling it off in the 84th minute. The reasoning… ‘Godset had just 6 fit squad members, the rest of the team consisting of manager, assistant and 4 amateurs from the local area. Such a short period between this and today’s game is not enough for the all players to return and train and a lot are still sick. Expect another thrashing today.

United are back to winning ways following the return of their young stars, 3 wins (all comps) in a row has seen them gain confidence and ground on the top 4 and manager McNamara still has high hopes of reaching the illusive second place "All we can do is look after ourselves and try and reach the standards we know what we're capable of.” Recent away form has been poor but lucky for us Hibs hasn’t fared much better at Easter Road, 1 win in 3 and this against 10th place Ross County. The last 3 H2H meetings all ended in draws and with Dundee’s aspirations this should be the least they leave with today.

The odds on this fixture are very tasty, Luzenac are top of the French National division but only 1 point clear and need to pick up more to move away from chasing Orleans. Importantly for us they have only lost 1 game away from home all season (11 played), drawing 5 and winning the rest, they average less than a goal conceded per game away and look very good to at least pick up another point today. Red Star’s last home game saw them draw 1-1 with relegation placed Lucon, a 1-0 win over second bottom Vannes before this will also not fill them with confidence ahead of today’s match against a team polar opposites form wise. The main point of this tip is value, 1.5 for the current best side in the league to at least draw against 10th is great.
