I cannot see this ending goalless. As both sides look suspect in defence, I'm expecting goals. I think Chelsea, contrary to form, can win against what I expect to be a much-changed Arsenal first eleven than one in a PL fixture. 6/1 looks a point bigger I envisaged

At 7/4 I'm going against the popular consensus by backing the overs on value grounds. Nigeria's top scorers in this tournament face hosts who have conceded just once, so something will have to give.

Being on hosts ante-post, no reason to get involved in the 90-minute market. Until I saw the price, I was not going to get involved in this market. As I envisaged, around 9/2, I feel 6/1 cannot go unbacked.
19:45 Falkirk v Celtic
Celtic

Celtic were a shambles under Nancy, and O'Neill is back in the hot seat till the end of the season. They should beat an overachieving Falkirk side. Falkirk surprised a few ??" won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6, similar form to Celtic. More strength in depth in the visitors

Celtic should win, but they have looked weak in defence. Their first clean sheet in weeks was against Dundee United at the weekend, who were nothing short of shocking. I did envisageca price of 6/4 bit of value at 2/1
19:45 Hearts v St Mirren
Hearts

@-200

League leaders Jam Tarts have been grinding out results even when not at their best and should beat the third-from-bottom visitors who have lost their last 3.
19:45 Inter Milan v Lecce
Inter Milan
50 WIN
@-555
Win

The leaders Inter face fourth from bottom Lecce. 28 points separate them. Inter won all 4 meetings in the last six seasons. Won 4, drawn 2 of their last six. Lecce lost 4, drawn 1, and won 1 of their last 6, that win coming against second-bottom Pisa. Simply put, hosts should outclass the opposition.
19:30 Cologne v Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich
50 WIN
@-454
Win
11
Bayern lead the league. They meet 14th-place Cologne, who've drawn 3 and lost 3 of their last 6, failing to keep a clean sheet, scoring 7 and conceding 11. Bayern have won 5 of their last six, drawing the other one, unbeaten all season and putting 8 past Wolfsburg at the weekend. The hosts' defence could be busy. I envisaged Bayern to be much shorter. In the last 6 seasons they've met 5 times, with the visitors winning all 5, scoring 13 and conceding just 3.
19:30 RB Leipzig v SC Freiburg
RB Leipzig
50 WIN
@-124

Third meeting. Seventh matchup, with both sides on 29 points. Although hosts lost their last two visits, Freiburg have won their last two, maintaining a good record against Freiburg: Leipzig have won 4 and drawn 2 of their last 6 meetings.

TSG have overachieved this season and lie sixth in the league. Met a BMG side, like the hosts, only kept one clean sheet in their last 6.

Win
2400
This yard did me a huge turn with a 66/1 winner. PAVE THE WAY has a singular profile. She's disappointed for most of her career with just two runner-up efforts in twelve starts. His last two runs after a break were most definitely needed. On TS ratings, however, she's not as out of this as her form suggests. Her mark has dropped from 65 to 48 on the back of her last five runs. She's been turned out quite quickly after running just seven days ago, which is unusual. The fact she sports first-time blinkers might see an upturn in her fortunes. She's bigger in places, so look about.
17:30 Napoli v Parma
Napoli
50 WIN
@-285
Lose
-50
Fourth meet fourteenth in Serie A with 18 points separating them coming into week 19. Quite simply, Napoli should win. They've won 2 of the three meetings between these two in the last six seasons. Parma's issue is not only in defence but in attack. They have scored only 7 in all home fixtures and 7 away fixtures to date. There's no way I can see the hosts being outscored. Parma
17:30 Wolfsburg v St Pauli
Wolfsburg & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@+300

Wolfsburg conceded 8 against Bayern and meet a St. Pauli side that kept one clean sheet in six. Three points separate these two above the bottom three. The only time they met in the last six seasons ended in a draw. Hosts can't keep a clean sheet but should outscore the visitors.
17:00 Senegal v Egypt

@+209

-50
This competition form has worked out well: four expected sides reaching this stage. With a place in the final for the winners, I'm anticipating a tight, low-scoring affair. This is backed up by the stats. On checking, these two met 15 times with an average of just a goal a game. I think this will be a draw in 90 minutes and may well go to penalties. Envisaged 2/1 ??" there's a little value with the price at Betfred.

Two matches from a Wembley appearance. I still expect a much-changed first eleven from that of a PL fixture. But unlike the hosts, City have such strength in depth with their second string they can beat reigning holders on their own patch.

Cargin Bhui was gambled on in his last run. Having a wide trip throughout didn't help his cause, but he finished very well. There are hints his turn may be at hand. Seeing as that was his first run back in about 60 days and he was gambled on, he'll certainly strip fitter. He's well handicapped for all this is a deeper race.

Candinomore is interesting. 7 furlongs to 1 mile is his trip; he has won three times at that distance. The trainer is running at a 25% strike rate recently. Winner on FGR surface and makes a yard debut. Not raced for nearly three months but has gone well fresh before. The form of his second to Sky Advocate has worked out well two runs ago. Interesting at the price.

At 40/1 I cannot let KHANGAI go unbacked. The last two runs were over inadequate trips. He's not one that flies out at you. However, he won from 3 times in 19 starts ??" won off 54 and 55 twice during the summer. He's 5 pounds below his last winning mark. He's run here 3 times. He ran an odd race here leaving st 80/1 before fading back in November. On the other two runs he came third. He could run a stinker, but this is a weak race and he's handicapped to win. In this company I envisaged 25/1. At 40/1 it looks overpriced. Hopefully all 8 go to post and we get the 3 places up for grabs.

This could be a low-scoring affair. Offensively, Steelers have not been as prolific this season and they meet a Texans side who lie second for least points conceded. I think this will be a low-scoring, cagey affair. Final standings in the regular season were 10-7-0 for the hosts, finishing top of the AFC North, and Texans 12-5-0 when runners-up in the AFC South.

Houston Texans were one of my ante-post picks and they are on a tremendous run, winning their last 9. They look strong in all areas. Steelers are 12-5, but their defense??"one of the top two sides in the AFC and NFC final standings??"conceded the second-highest points total; only the Dallas Cowboys conceded more. That will be their undoing.

Celta Vigo are having a seventh season only just off European places. Their away form has been very good, in fact better than their home form. 2-5-3 on home soil, but on their travels: 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. They've won 3, drawn 2 and lost 1 (came in Europe against Bologna).

Sevilla are in a real slump and Celta have wins against Real Madrid and Atletico Bilbao. Their away form has been exceptional, losing only one on their travels. The Sevilla side lost 5 at home this season already. On a 3-match losing streak, no goals scored and 6 conceded. Only once have both teams failed to score in the last six meetings. At 6/1, there could well be value in the away win and BTTS.

Liverpool are having an up-and-down season. I fully expect Klopp to rotate his first eleven tonight. They really should have too much class for a Barnsley side who've lost three and drawn one of their last four matches. Luca Connell, their captain, will be missed as he's suspended.

2/13 is short, with Macclesfield shock win coming to mind. But arguably Liverpool should be 1/10 or even shorter. It would be much changed, did from a PL fixture, but there's a huge gulf in class. I think the Reds could cut loose tonight. I'd rather take 2/13 or take the hosts to cover the handicap line at around 4/5.

This looks to concern the blue and orange dogs. I cannot see how the odds-on favourite will get a clear run. Has a muddled seed. BOCKOS FRANKEL could have had a better draw as he's shown to go muddled, judged on trials at Suffolk Downs. That said, he boasts superb early acceleration from the traps, with a slow starter on his inside. He created a good impression on debut at Suffolk Downs when winning easily by 7 in open company, having over come a slow start and a bump.

The favourite I'd unexposed, but at these weights may not conform with The Quiet Man on their last running. THEY ALL KNOW ME is the interesting one. Has had five runs and placed in all of them: 3-2-2-3-3. Was a huge eye-catcher on the last run at Newcastle when beaten by Bobby Jo Leg a neck and one and three quarters. Given a fair bit to do two furlongs out when held up and then short of room. Was nibbled in the betting on that occasion, 14/1 into 10/1 before the off. Richard Fahey employs the services of Warren Fentiman, who's well worth his 5 pounds. I envisage this fella would be considerably shorter. At the odds, looks one of the bets of the meeting.

After two big winners in the first two wildcard playoffs, this could be another. The Jaguars have really turned the corner since Week Ten. They are in good form; however, they are meeting a Bills side who have been in this position before and know what it takes to get over the line. Plus Josh Allen is in good nick and a few key personnel are coming back, which could edge a close encounter.

The winner that day has gone in again. Interesting: Gina takes the ride and not Harry, who can claim 7 for his stablemate. His place form should see him involved. He's won over the trip.
