Germany vs England Match Preview

Germany vs England Match Preview

Here’s our Germany vs England Match Preview which kicks off at 19:45 tonight and can be watched on ITV.

Gary Cahill takes the captaincy for tonight’s friendly against Germany in Dortmund at 7.45pm.

Gareth Southgate manages his first game as permanent England Manager after being Caretaker Manager for England’s previous 4 games.

England are without Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane and Daniel Sturridge due to injury which gives Jermain Defoe, Jamie Vardy and Marcus Rashford a chance to lead the line. Raheem Sterling missed training on Tuesday and is a doubt and Michail Antonio withdrew form the squad due to a hamstring injury earlier in the week.

Germany will be without Manuel Neuer, Julian Draxler, Mesut Ozil and Mario Gomez as they miss out due to injury. Lukasz Podolski will captain Germany in his final appearance at International level.

Germany have lost only one of 18 games played in Dortmund, losing to Italy in the 2006 World Cup.

England have lost only one of their last 16 away Internationals, back in November 2016 to Spain.

With both squads missing key players and with World Cup qualifiers to play this weekend, I expect the game to end in a draw – that in mind – Skybet have some very lucrative Request-A-Bets (RAB) on offer tonight.

The 50/1 No Goal Scorer/No booking points could be a good shout, however, the last time round these 2 sides met in a friendly in Germany, we thought the game would be a bore-draw – only for it to be a 3-2 thriller, with England coming back from being 2-0 down.

If you fancy a repeat of the last fixture than you may prefer the massive 450/1 England to win 3-2, 4+ Corners in each half and 20+ booking points each team could be more suited.

With it being a friendly we advise avoiding to many bets involving booking points.

Notes

Codeshare won over course and distance less than 3 weeks ago and is aiming for a hat trick win and looks the one to beat as Mark Johnston’s Final has top weight.

Water Wagtail ran a good race when finishing 3rd on its last start and the step up in distance will suit the Emma Lavelle trained horse, with Daryl Jacob on board.

Horse Racing – UK / Ireland – 21st March 2017 – Southwell 4.25pm – Sunbets.co.uk Handicap

War Department 7/2 – 3pt stake

Gordon Elliott’s Strike is Back looks the stand out horse in this meeting. Finishing 2nd on its latest outing in a Maiden Hurdle race, running on towards the finish. Running only 3 days later but dropping in trip, the 5 year old mare will enjoy the run for the in form trainer.

War Department has been in excellent form for Keith Dalgliesh and though the draw may not be ideal, the 4 year old will give a good solid run and can notch its 2nd win of the month.

Cheltenham Festival Day 4 preview

Cheltenham Festival Day 4 preview

Here’s our Horse Racing preview for the Cheltenham Festival day 4.

Cheltenham Festival Day 4 – 1.30pm – JCB Triumph Hurdle (Grade 1)

Defi Du Seuil has won 3 out of 3 here at Cheltenham and has also won all 5 starts over hurdles and looks a strong favourite. Landofhopeandglory has good stamina and the heavy ground on its last outing did not suit. Nicky Henderson’s Charli Parcs fell in the Adonis at Kempton but the trainers believe the horse to be back in good form.

Favourite – Defi Du Seuil
Value Tip / Bet – Landofhopeandglory
Each Way – Charli Parcs

Cheltenham Festival Day 4 – 2.10pm – Randox Health County Handicap Hurdle (Grade 3)

North Hill Harvey runs for Dan Skelton, who has 3 entries in this race, looks to be the stable selection. He won the Greatwood at Cheltenham and has a great chance. Mick Jazz came third in its only Handicap race and could go well for the in form Gordon Elliott.

Favourite – North Hill Harvey
Value Tip / Bet – Air Horse One
Each Way – Mick Jazz

 

Cheltenham Festival Day 4 – 2.50pm – Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1)

Death Duty beat a Grade 3 winner at Navan and then a Grade 1 winner at Naas. Though slightly lucky due to a fall from Augusta Kate, Gordon Elliott’s horse should give a good account. The Worlds End ran a fine race when coming in 2nd to No Hassle Hoff, with the winner receiving a 7lb pull on the runner up.

Favourite – Death Duty
Value Tip / Bet – The Worlds End
Each Way – Augusta Kate

 

Cheltenham Festival Day 4 – 3.30pm – Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase (Grade 1)

 

Cue Card has won at the festival twice before and though he fell in last years Gold Cup, he was travelling very well. The only concern would be his age and the Colin Tizzard trained horse may struggle to overcome some of the younger horses. Stablemate Native River has won the Hennessy, Welsh National and beat Bristol De Mai in the Denman Chase. He looks to be the main danger to Djakadam, who has come up against Outlander on a few occasions recently. Sizing John could be the surprise outsider, having come 2nd to Douvan at last years Arkle and this season, stepping up to 3 miles, having beaten Empire of Dirt.

Favourite – Djakadam
Value Tip / Bet – Sizing John
Each Way – Native River

 

David’s Tips for the Day

Each Way Double – Defi Du Seuil ( 1.30pm) and Air Horse One (2.10pm)

Single Win – Death Duty (2.50pm)

Each Way Single  – Native River (3.30pm)

Here’s our Horse Racing preview for the Cheltenham Festival day 2.

Cheltenham Festival Day 2 – 1.30pm – Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1)

Willie Mullins has 4 in the Neptune, Bacardys being the best of the 4 runners. 3rd in the Champion Bumper last year, Bacardys has been touted to go and win at this longer trip. Harry Fry takes Neon Wolf to the festival and the former points winner has its first run under rules.

Favourite – Neon Wolf
Value Tip / Bet – Bacardys
Each Way – Bon Papa OR Shattered Love

 

Cheltenham Festival Day 2 – 2.10pm – RSA Novices’ Chase (Grade 1)

A tough race to decide upon a winner but Alpha Des Obeaux has a tentative vote. The 7 year old ran a blinder in the World Hurdle last season,finishing 2nd to Thistlecrack and though disappointing last time out, trainer Mouse Morris explained the horse had bled. Nicky Henderson’s Might Bite will also have a chance, running well on its re appearance at Doncaster last time out.

Favourite – Might Bite
Value Tip / Bet – Alpha Des Obeaux
Each Way – 00 Seven OR Our Kaempfer

 

Cheltenham Festival Day 2 – 2.50pm – Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle (Grade 3)

Gordon Elliot’s Tombstone leads the market as favourite and was 4th in last year’s Supreme Novices’ Hurdle as well as beating Jezki in a Grade 3. River Frost has a 10lb rise in weights though the Alan king trained horse is running very well and looks as though it will fight out the finish with Tombstone. Willie Mullins has 5 in this race and Tin Soldier heads the line with Ruby Walsh aboard.

Favourite – Tombstone
Value Tip / Bet – River Frost
Each Way – Tin Soldier OR Taquin Du Seuil

 

Cheltenham Festival Day 2 – 3.30pm – Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase (Grade 1)

All eyes will be on Douvan for the Champion Hurdle as the Willie Mullins trained Gelding looks to make it 14 wins in a row. The 7-year-old looks extremely well treated and in the past 2 years at Cheltenham, has won the Arkle and the Supreme Novices’. God’s Own could be the ‘Without the fave’ bet. The 9-year-old has lost 3 this season but has run well in defeat and looks the best of the rest.

Favourite – Douvan
Value Tip / Bet – God’s Own
Each Way – Sir Valentino OR Fox Norton

 

Cheltenham Festival Day 2 – 4.10pm – Glenfarclas Chase (Cross Country Chase)

Cantlow didn’t have the best of runs at the venue in January when finishing 2nd but things didn’t fall right for the 12-year-old. Making the running did not suit and the race was a handicap, conditions should suit Enda Bolger’s Gelding. Gordon Elliot’s Cause of Causes could go well and Sausalito Sunrise, trained by Pat Hobbs, takes on a different test but should be capable of running into the places.

Favourite – Cantlow
Value Tip / Bet – Sausalito Sunrise
Each Way – Cause of Causes OR Auvergnat

Cheltenham Festival Preview 2017

Cheltenham Festival Preview 2017

One of the biggest Horse Racing events starts today – The Cheltenham Festival – which means we’ve some time out from football to look the main races of the day from the festival to give our tips and opinions.

13:30 – Cheltenham Festival – Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1)

Willie Mullins goes into the Supreme Novice’s Hurdle with 4 runners and the best backed is Melon with Ruby Walsh aboard. Last month’s Betfair Hurdle winner Ballyandy is 2nd favourite and the Twiston – Davies duo could be where the value lies. Nicky Henderson’s River Wylde could also go well for the most successful Cheltenham trainer, as he looks to fight off Nicholls and Mullins this year.

Favourite – Melon
Value Tip / Bet – Ballyandy
Each Way – Bunk Off Early OR River Wylde

2.10pm – Cheltenham Festival – Racing Post Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices’ Chase (Grade 1)

Nicky Henderson’s unbeaten Altior is an odds-on favourite and quite rightly so. From the same yard as Sprinter Sacre and Simonsig, the 7-year-old looks un apposable, especially since deciding to not go for the Champion Chase against Douvan. Kim Bailey’s Charbel, who came 2nd to Altior at Sandown in a Grade 1 previously, along with Willie Mullins’ Black Caviar look to be the best of the rest.

Favourite – Altior
Value Tip / Bet (without Altior) – Black Caviar
Each Way – Charbel OR Cloudy Dream

2.50pm – Cheltenham Festival – Ultima Handicap Chase (Grade 3)

Singlefarmpayment leads the market for the handicap chase. Unbeaten in 2 races at Cheltenham, the Tom George trained horse is very well weighted compared to Gordon Elliot’s Noble Endeavour who has gone up 11lbs since its win in during Christmas. Holywell and The Druids Nephew look to be able to run into place money.

Favourite – Singlefarmpayment
Value Tip / Bet – The Druids Nephew
Each Way – Holywell OR Noble Endeavour

3:30pm – Cheltenham Festival – Stan James Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy (Grade 1)

Yanworth has won 7 out of 8 on the hurdles and is the favourite for Alan King. Having beaten The New One at Kempton, Yanworth has the beating of the Twiston Davies Gelding. Nicky Henderson’s Barain Power looks to have a decent chance though has a rise in class. Buveur D’air moves back to hurdles and has beaten Petite Mouchoir as well as coming 3rd to Altior in the Supreme Novices Hurdle last year and could well be the danger to Yanworth. Whoever the winner, this is sure to be one of the biggest races at today’s Cheltenham Festival.

Favourite – Yanworth
Value Tip / Bet (without Yanworth) – Buveur D’air
Each Way – Brain Power

4:10pm – Cheltenham Festival – OLBG Mare’s Hurdle (Grade 1)

The betting is all focused on the 2 Willie Mullins’ runners, Limini and Vroum Vroum Mag. Both previous Cheltenham Festival winners and could could take a lot of beating though Apples jade beat Vroum Vroum Mag on her return at Fairyhouse. Jer’s Girl will enjoy the trip but will find it hard to beat the Mullins pair.

Favourite – Limini
Value Tip / Bet – Apple’s Jade
Each Way – Jer’s Girl OR Lifeboat Mona

Tonight’s Monday night football looks set to be a cracker with Liverpool playing host to Manchester United in what is one of the highest profile fixtures in the English football calendar.

liverpool-vs-manuBoth teams come into this game on relatively strong form:

  • Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 7 games
  • Man Utd are unbeaten in their last 4 games
  • Liverpool have scored 9 goals in their 2 home games this season (avg 4.5 per game)
  • Man Utd have scored 8 goals in their 5 away games this season (avg 1.6 per game)

Liverpool have only played two games at home this season due to the work that was being carried out on their stadium over the summer so it is difficult to make many judgements on their home form, given that they scored 5 against Hull in their last home game, a team that have gone on to concede 6 goals to Bournemouth so we can’t take too much from that one. The 4-1 victory against Leicester is put in doubt given Leicester’s poor away form this season but that is still a good indication.

Manchester United have had some slippery results away from home this season. A 3-1 win away at Bournemouth was spot on what was expected of them but they could only manage a 1-0 win away at Hull, a result that pulls down their score as based on other teams performances again Hull this comes up short for United. A 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord and a 3-1 defeat away at Watford are strong indicators that Man United may have some issues away from home.

The algorithm has picked out Liverpool to edge out the win here with a score of 50% vs  score of 42% for United and only 8% for the draw. I am going to put my weight behind Liverpool as well in this one.

In terms of goals this is a fixture that does not offer many trends so it is best to look into recent form as a guide to goals in this one tonight.

Liverpool’s home games this season have averaged 5.5 goals and United’s away games this season have averaged 2.8 goals. With the Betalyst algorithm throwing out a 63% chance of over 2.5 goals here I think that looks like a solid bet and both teams to score is also being offered a score of 82% confidence that both teams will find the net. Liverpool have failed to keep a clean sheet at home this season and United’s only clean sheet away from home this season was against Hull.

Based on all the above, my bets for tonights game are:

Liverpool to win @ 2.25 – Bet365

Liverpool to win + BTTS @ 4.33 – Bet365

Both teams to score @ 1.70 – Bet365
