Bits and Bobs for Saturday 15th of December

Birmingham V Reading
I like the look of Birmingham here, they have improved a s the year has gone on and look like they will stay up this season. They may have been lucky last week but were unlucky the week before against Newcastle. Reading are 0-1-6 away from home and that is a fairly terrible record, they have been beaten by the likes of Sunderland and Bolton. I rate Birmingham higher than these two alone and think they can get the win here. BUT, it has to be mentioned that Reading have scored in all but 1 away game this year, also all but one game have gone over 2.5 goals and that is my preferred choice

Manchester City V Bolton
Man Citys home record is immaculate. 8 wins from 8 , 5 clean sheets. Playing against a Bolton side that has yet to win on the road and with only 4 away goals. Everything here points towards a Manchester City clean sheet and is the only bet on this game that i will be taking. 2.25 @ Paddy Power is too good to turn down

Derby V Middlesborough
I like the look of Derby to sneak a win here. Lets face it, they may be crap but they will win again at some stage during the year so why not against a poor Boro side. I know Boro beat Arsenal last week but thats why i didnt tip Arsenal, no Fabregas usually no bet. And Boro always play well against Arsenal and also the better teams. I just think they may be brough down to earth by a battling Derby side. Level ball just in case as the odds are still nice enough.

East Stirling V Elgin City
Goals Goals Goals. Neither team can defend, both can score, East Stirling's last home game had 9 yes 9 goals, Elgins last away game had 7 goals!!! SEE a pattern here? The bookies have priced the over under market quite low but i still think that there will be plenty of goals seen at this game



PICKS
Birmingham V Reading over 2.5 goals (1.95 @ bet365) 4 points
Man City clean sheet (2.25 @ paddy power) 3 points
Derby level ball (draw no bet) (2.2 @ paddy power) 3 points
East Stirling V Elgin City over 3 goals (1.82 @ canbet) 6 points
