Championship Playoff: Watford-Crystal Palace

Firstly, many of us are on Watford for promotion at big odds, personally I have 1.5 units at 13.9 and am placing 4.5 units on Crystal Palace @ 2.20 +, there is a fairly low limit market available on this with Ibramarket, who currently offer @ 2.33 (it has been higher). This will win me circa 15 units on Watford, or 4.5 + with Palace, this has nothing to do with how I view the game, I am just tying up a little profit.

Championship:

All these matches start at 12.45 UK time. All five previews written at 09.00 today.

This should come with a government wealth warning, as I have not been in the best of form for the last week, but having said that, both Cardiff City (winning 13.0) and Watford each way ( 67.0) secured big Championship paydays for us in the last 7 days, so hard to complain too much, but I will anyway !

Championship: Blackpool- Derby County

I have already sent subscribers seven previews/ eight selections for today, from the Football League and Ligue 2, one of which is below. They still have a couple of J-League previews to come for the Saturday morning action, to sign up to this comprehensive service, click here !

Championship: Watford- Burnley

 Schalke are without striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (34-16-4 all comps), also missing are fellow striker Ciprian Marica (21-7-6) and suspended defensive midfielder Jermaine Jones (29-2-6), only CL match he missed was the 2-2 home draw with struggling Montpellier, which is interesting.

Tuesday March 5th

Nice late goal for Nantes to start the week..... long may it continue !

The afternoon email yesterday produced plenty of enquiries and questions and I spent several hours dealing with them all, but thank you for the respose !

Nothings Im-pozzo-ble

Paris SG are 8-1-0 in their last nine Ligue 1 starts, where they have enjoyed an average of 60% possession and a 21-1 goal difference, Ibrahimovic has scored eight of those, but I like the fact that eight other players have got on the scoresheet over this sequence.

Valencia are vastly experienced at this level and they are unbeaten in nine home Champions League starts, but they are a bit of a flat track bully at Mestalla and tend to perform less well against the really big name teams.
