I am new to these forums and I will provide my football knowledge and predictions on European leagues.

Firstly, English Premier League.

SOUTHAMPTON – MANCHESTER CITY
6 of these last 7 fixtures ended in Manchester City victories. Make this 7 out of 8.

MANCHESTER CITY - $2.85
MANCHESTER CITY 2-1 - $8.50

BLACKBURN vs. ASTON VILLA
I predict this to be a draw because neither team looks like winning. 1-1 scoreline looks most likely.

DRAW - $3.20

EVERTON vs. TOTTENHAM
Again, I predict a draw. A low scoring one at that, these are two low scoring teams both with good defensive records.

DRAW - $3.20
UNDER 2.5 GOALS - $1.72
DRAW-DRAW HT/FT - $5.00
DRAW 0-0 = $7.50

NORWICH – PORTSMOUTH
Portsmouth are pathetic away from home and Norwich aren't so bad. It is important for them to get 3 points from this if they want to avoid relegation this season, this is a match they must win.

NORWICH - $2.25

CHELSEA - LIVERPOOL
Chelsea are getting stronger each match and should be confident after a strong home win against Porto. Liverpool are returning from a poor display against Panathanaikos. Chelsea should win this, typically 1-0.

CHELSEA - $1.70
CHELSEA 1-0 - $5.00
UNDER 2.5 GOALS - $1.75

SUNDAY TREBLE
NEWCASTLE-MANUTD-CHELSEA - $4.75
DRAW-MANUTD-CHELSEA - $5.75

Italian SERIE A

CAGLIARI - BRESCIA
Two average teams, Cagliari have been impressive since being promoted and Brescia looks to be finally refinding their form. I cn't separate these two.

DRAW - $3.00

MESSINA - SIENA
Messina have been very impressive and if they can beat AC Milan away from home and AS Roma at home, there's no reason they can't beat an insecure Siena outfit.

MESSINA - $1.80

PALERMO - BOLOGNA
Messina aren't the only impressive Sicilian team to be promoted, I expect them to beat Bologna.

PALERMO - $1.80

UDINESE - JUVENTUS
All Juventus has to do is score and they've practically won. Their defense is excellent and I can't see them conceding. I can see them scoring though, the likes of Trezeguet, Ibrahimovic and Nedved will prove too much for Udinese's shaky defense.

JUVENTUS - $1.80

PARMA - FIORENTINA
Parma were very impressive against Inter and did well to manage a point. Fiorentina on the other hand have been quite disappointing in regard to pre-season expectations. Expect Parma to record their first 3 points here.

PARMA - $2.00

Spanish LA LIGA
REAL MADRID - DEPORTIVO LA CORUNA
Both teams have been disappointing but losing at home 5-1 to Valencia is not a good result to get before visiting Madrid. Real should take advantage of a dismal looking Deportivo.

REAL MADRID - $1.53

Thank you.
