Valencia vs. Athletic Bilbao - Free Football Prediction

Valencia welcomes Athletic Bilbao at their “Mestalla” in an interesting match of the 11th round of the Spanish Primera Division. The odds for the game at Bet365 are as follows: 1.60 for the victory of Valencia, 5.50 to Athletic Bilbao and 4.00 for a draw.

Valencia did not participate in any of the European club competitions and have concentrated all their forces in the national championship. Team takes the third place and is only 2 points behind the leader Real Madrid. Deportivo La Coruna stopped their record of 7 rounds without a loss, but "bats" did not lowered the tempo and made two identical score of 3-1 at their last two games in the Primera.
The team had changed after a disastrous performance in their season 2013/2014 and have all the perspectives to lead the standings. Valencia still have not played against Real Madrid and Barcelona, but had no problems with Atletico Madrid and crash them with a result of 3-1. The most interesting is that in seven of the past 10 rounds, Valencia introduced just three goals and with just three goals is their only loss. There is no information about injured or punished major players of the team.

Athletic Bilbao at the other side did not play his best season. Team involved in the Champions League, but took the last place and almost certainly sure dropped out of the race. In La Liga they managed to record two consecutive wins and are now in the 11th place with a total of 11 points. Athletic Bilbao had a light program, passed through Barcelona and Real Madrid. Against Valencia, Athletic Bilbao are without their striker Aduriz, who is injured and Iraola is not sure for the line-up. Ibay and Guillermo will lead the attack.

Valencia performance is very strong in Mestalla and since 2007, Athletic Bilbao have not success here, so the forecast for this match is the most anticipated - Valencia win.

Your Football Betting Guide For Today

You want to place some bets today? Well, if yes, then we have some good news for you. There will be some matches, which are going to be very interesting for you and may bring you some good profit. Here is our guide for doing your football picks for the upcoming events:

Cagliari – Juventus

There are many reasons to believe that today we can witness a surprise and Juventus will not win. First, the Old lady did not show good condition and did not win any of the last three fights. Second, the coach of Cagliari's Zdenek Zeman, who is a supporter of Roma and certainly will cause his players to play this game like it's the last in their lives. Third, that is the main game in the program of the day, and on weekdays, in which there are not many matches, surprises often happen in such a big clash. Our soccer forecast is Х1.

Elche – Valladolid

Most likely we will see a great ‘deception’ and some goals in today's rematch of the 1/16-final stage of the King's Cup after the first meeting ended in a scoreless draw. In general, both teams have a tendency to make very effective matches. In the last 6 games of the guests, they have made a total of 5 goals. In that game, they will play even better and won't leave many options for their opponent. It's hard to say who will go forward, but we definitely think that there will be fewer than 2.5 hits scored.

Ajax – Vitesse

One more match for the Cup, but this time it comes to the Cup of Netherlands. Ajax will adopt in the eighth-final phase of the tournament Vitesse, which is in a very bad condition lately, not having a single win in their last five games. Previously Vitesse was not performing bad, but their form collapsed firmly down. Ajax is very solid and will fight for the title. Our soccer prediction for that event is definitely 1.

Sochaux – Angers

Sochaux began the tournament in a horrible way, after they took only 2 points in the first 5 rounds, but then have gained serious momentum, not having a loss in any of the following 12 rounds and are now quite close to the promotion in Liga 1. The condition of the hosts is really impressive and we expect them to defeat the hesitant guests, who lost half of the last 10 fights so far. Not surprisingly, the experts from Soccer-Tips recommend you bet on a win of Sochaux.

Stoke City Vs. Burnley

In a match of the 12th round of the Premier League on Saturday at Britannia Stadium against each other we will see Stoke and Burnley. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker Bet365 are as follows: 1.66 for a home win, 3.60 for draw and 5.25 for victory of the guests. The last meeting between the two teams in the Premier League was played in 2010 and was completed without a winner - 1:1.

Stoke City recorded prestigious victory in the last round during his visit to Tottenham in London. Potters won at White Hart Lane with 2:1 after fine goals from Bojan Krkich and Jonathan Walters. Mark Hughes team was the better team and deserved congratulated by winning the three points. Bad news for potters in this match were injuries defender Mark Wilson and Phil Bardsli, but they are not serious and probably players will start from the first minute against Burnley. Glenn Whelan and Robert Huth are not so lucky and they will miss the game. After good performance and goals against Tottenham - Bojan Krkich is expected to lead the attack for Stoke alongside with Mame Biram Diouf.

Burnley won a crucial victory in the previous round against Hull City. Clarets won 1:0 at Turf Moor and it was the first success of the season for them in the league. Now for the team of Sean Ditch it comes series of important games, which will show the possibility of the team to come out from the bottom. Burnley shows good game in defence in some of the matches, but unfortunately for his fans team is in the last place. The reason for this is the weak attack formation. Clarets have scored only six goals in 11 matches in the campaign.

We believe that Stoke is better from both teams and will take easy win in this match. Potters have good players, but as hosts play very vigorously, and we think that will be surprise if Burnley walk away with something from Britain. The victory of the home side is estimated at 1.66 at bet365 and we think that is the best choice in this match.

Roma vs. Manchester City - Soccer Prediction

Today’s match between Roma and Manchester City is a direct confrontation of who will ‘accompany’ the Bayern Munich team in the next phase of the tournament. In a case of a victory, Roma will certainly qualify. Even if the citizens win, however, Manchester City could be out of the tournament if CSKA Moscow defeats Bayern in the next match. If there is a draw, then both teams are risking dropping out of the UEFA Champions League. If the tie is of a 2:2 or more goals, City can go forward given that CSKA loses against Bayern. Here is the soccer prediction ofSoccer-Tips:

Roma came into this match with some good news, because all the important players in the squad are going to play. Astori is returned in the group as well. Only Baldzareti, Kastan and are outside of the game. However, that will hardly prevent the Wolves to show a relatively good performance.

For the team of Manchester City the situation is quite more difficult. The citizens are going to play today without their two most important players. Sergio Aguero has a concussion and will rest for about a month. Yaya Toure is still punished. The good news is that Captain Vincent Kompany is feeling better now and will start in the central defense alongside Demichelis. Frank Lampard will be holder in midfield. Jovetic Gekko will operate in the attack.

Manchester City is facing a third dropping out in the group stage in the past four seasons. Citizens ' task is even more daunting because Roma played greatly at home against the English team. In the last seven meetings at Olimpico with any English teams, the Wolves have 5 wins and only 1 loss – in 2007/08 against Manchester United in the quarterfinals.

Given the lack of important players for the team of Manchester City, the more likely it is that Roma will win that match.

Knowing all that information you may be able to draw your own football forecast, right? If you are not sure in your abilities yet, then you should read on. Here is some additional info about both teams:

The advantages of the Asian handicap

Asian handicap may not be as popular as the ‘1x2’ betting system, but it is being used all over the world nowadays. It is actually both bad and good for the bookmakers. That helps them reduce the risk of too big losses. The Asian handicap provides you with greater winning chances. That’s why it is preferable to use that option whenever you are ready with your soccer predictions and you are about to place a bet.

Why exactly the Asian handicap is the better choice for you? Well, its main advantage is that there is no option for a tie. So there are 50% chances to win!

The advice of Soccer-Tips for all of you – football fans and bettors, is to use the Asian handicap. It may seem a little complicated to you now but actually it is not at all. You just have to take your time and research it a bit. The good news is that most of the bookies provide special tables on their websites, which contain useful information for each of the options possible. In fact, there is a wide variety of options. The only downside of the Asian handicap, in our opinion, is the fact that not all bookmakers offer it. So, when you are going to choose a bookie, you’d better look for one that offers Asian handicap. We will give you one example, check it out:

Forthcoming event: Manchester United – Arsenal

Asian handicap: 0-0.25

Odd for Manchester United – 2.00, odd for Arsenal – 1.90.

First option: you bet $100 for Manchester United. In order to win, Manchester United must win, too. You will gain profit of $100 or in other words you will have $200 in total. In case the match ends in a draw, you will lose half of your bet amount ($50) and the other half will be returned to your account. If Arsenal wins, then you will lose the whole stake amount.

Second option: you bet $100 for Manchester United. In order to win, the condition is the same: Manchester United must be the winner. If that happens for real, then you will get $190 in total. In case there is a tie, you will take the half of your bet. The other half will be multiplied by the odd for the win of the team (in this case – 1.90). So, with a bet of $100 you will have a total of $145 gain.

As a conclusion, we recommend you take advantage of the Asian handicap with all its variations, which are available as often as possible. Once you try it, you will see how quickly it will become your preferred betting option. What is more, even the specialists claim that the football forecasts for Asian handicap are much more reliable and accurate.
