Since we all want to pretend last week didn't happen (I tipped over2.5+Liverpool win, mind you), right this way for this weekend's tips:
BARCELONA X BETIS:
If you're one of those that call 1.10 'one point ten', just return your certificate to your school. With a letter of apology for good measure. That over with, one-point-ten is the odd on a home win here. Not much, but they all count in an accumulator.
Home win.
HOUNDURAS X NIGERIA:
A shambolic showing for Nigeria at Rio could end on a high should they pull off a win here, which I think they will. P.S: This tip has nothing to do with my nationality.
Nigeria victory.
BRAZIL X GERMANY:
The one trophy in International football that eludes Brazil. Against the workmanlike, efficient if unspectacular Germans, I'm calling a comprehensive Brazilian victory.
BURNLEY vs LIVERPOOL:
An easy boost to my accumulator. Away win; and that's a banker.
LEICESTER vs ARSENAL:
They're Arsenal, consistent inconsistency is their hallmark. Wenger's set to recall Ozil, Koscielny and/or Giroud for this blockbuster between last season's first and second. With no Kante in a wonderfully porous midfield, retention of Messrs Mahrez & Vardy coupled with the addition of Nigerian speedster, Musa to Leicester's lineup, this is another high-scoring contest that could go either way.
Over 2.5goals.
BRISTOL CITY vs NEWCASTLE:
Finally, inevitably, Benitez and his acolytes got their acts right and now they're set to steamroller all in their path.
Away win.
CELTA VIGO X LEGANES:
Lega-gini, I hear you say. Exactly.
Home win.
ZWOLLE vs PSV:
Save for a heroic push from Feyenoord, PSV will win the league at a canter.
Away win.
ATLETICO MADRID X ALAVES:
A banker to cap it all off.
Home win.
Good luck people. Have fun.
