TranslateHey, anyone knows exactly how many corners were in Anzhi vs. Lokomotiv game ? Cuz flashscore.com says on statistics there were only 7 corners in whole game while on Bet365 I had a bet with Race to 9 Corners - Neither and it says my bet is lost.
I can't find a good site to check for corner statistics on this game :-/
Thanks

TranslateCS Turnu-Severin vs. Petrolul Ploiesti

Turnu Severin is 4 points away from saving themselves from relegation, and it seems tougher and tougher to do it with them losing points away from home against sides they have chances to grab something from. Their home form went from bad ( Was 1-4-4 in first 9) to decent picking up 4 wins and 1 draw in last 5 games at own stadium. Was their chances last round to pick some points and raise their hopes up as other relegation candidates lost also, but they didn't manage to bring home any point from 7th placed Rapid Bucharest.
Their coach Jerry Gane knows the only way to keep hopes alive is to wina dn take all three points, so I expect them to open up and attack from beginning of the match. In last 5 games of this season they will have 3 other tought games versus first class teams and their chances to not relegate are minimal in my opinion.

Petrolul Ploiesti is on a wonderful form not losing in their last 13 official games recording 9 wins and 4 draws. Last round they managed to win 3:0 against Viitorul so they went up on 3rd position as other European candidates Astra lost points that round. Now with Pandurii losing yesterday against Steaua, Petrolul has chances to go on 2nd position with a victory today. Bokila is in top form scoring 5 from 13 Petrolul scored in last 4 games and the team seems to be having much fun free scoring and creating spectacle for their supporters. No important missings for Petrolul, maybe only Hoban, but they will find a replacement for him. Their coach Contra was a player with experience and known as a hard-worker all the time, and it seems he managed to inflict that spirit into his team also.

1 point will not be helpful for any of these teams and I expect an open game both running for the win here, but I expect Petrolul to get the job done today and end Severn's good home form. Another reason for Petrolul to get something is cuz if they not gonna lose today, they will equal club's record of 12 unbeaten games in League 1, and next game at home they can surpass it with a win vs Brasov. I would have personally priced them to win around 1.60-1.70, so 1.90 seems good value for me.
Another good option would be also both to score, as both teams score 8 goals in last 5 ( Severin at home, Petrolul away.) and it's currently priced at 2.00 with Bet365.

Pick: Away Win @ 1.90 and/or BTTS @ 2.00

Good luck all!...see more

TranslateWas little fortunate with Lazio, but at least they got the job done and bet went through! :)

Palace 1:1 Stoke
Lazio 2:1 Cagliari

TranslateCrystal Palace vs. Stoke

Considering recent records for both teams, Stoke shall be the team aiming to go through this encounter to the next stage.
Crystal Palace lost their last ties both in the 3rd round while Stoke on the other hand had a quarter-final and a runner-up place in the competition.
Priority for Palace should be promotion this season, and with that in mind, coach might give a rest to some players . Kagisho Dikgacoi left to the African CUp of Nations.
Stoke shall aim for qualification to the next round considering their Premiership position. Nzonzi is back, while Upson and Palacios could feature.
Both teams are going through a good period in their leagues, but IMO the priority is higher for Stoke here than for Palace, and with Stoke only losing to Manchester City in last 11 games, I will take Stoke +0.5 AH @ 1.43

Pick: Stoke +0.5 AH @ 1.43

Lazio vs. Cagliari

Both teams on exactly different paths, Lazio going through an awesome form since the Halloween defeat, not losing a game since then, while Cagliari on the other hand, haven't taken a win since same date.
During this period, Lazio has also taken a 3:2 win in the derby vs Roma and even thought Petkovic is modest about competing with Juventus, they just need to keep form on and win games like this.
Klose is in a wonderful form scoring 10 goals in 17, while Hernanes is doing also one of his best seasons lately scoring 7 times so far.
Cagliari is in a really bad shape, losing last 5 games with a goal difference of -11 ( Scored 3, conceaded 14), and Pulga's future at the club doesn't look that bright.
Ederson is injured for Lazio, while Cagliari has bigger problems with Eriksson injured and Astori and Pisano suspended.
Last season Lazio won 1:0 and I don't believe they will have any trouble taking the three points in this one aswell.

Pick: Lazio Win @ 1.53...see more

TranslateThis is my double today. I think odds are good that why I took them.

Stoke still undefeated at home IMO they got the power to win here. They missing 2x defenders but the way they defend with whole team when needed I think will still get the job done. Southampton is bad away form home and I expect an 1:0 2:0 win for Stoke.

Newcastle to score @ 1.63 I think it's too good. Arsenal has a shaky defense and usually when played Arsenal was always getting 1.6 for both to score. I seen Newcastle play and even tho' they lost against Manchester City and United, they created enough chances upfront. They are demolished by injuries this season which is a bad thing but I expect them to put one in the net today. Prolly if they would have whole team up I'd try even an away win at odds of 7.5 but with all those injuries I will just go for the goal.

Good luck all!...see more
