Sunday afternoon

Just the one game for me here today. I have one African Cup pick and one La Liga pick for later so check back.


Inter Milan V Empoli

Top V 2nd from bottom in what should be a very one-sided affair today. Inter are powering their way through the league and have won the last 9 games at home. Ibrahimovic is playing very well and scoring for fun and the evens available for him to score at anytime today looks like a good choice. 26 goals scored at home in 10 matches is an indication of what they have to offer up front and they will be keen to get back to winning ways after last weeks drab 0 – 0 drab away to Udinese.

Halfway through the season, Empoli are in 19th place and look like one of the main contenders to finish in the bottom three and get relegated to Serie B. Goals have been their main problem with only 15 scored and its hard to see them getting any change against an Inter side who have the meanest defensive record in Seria A.
Their best chance may be to keep it as tight as possible at the back and try to hit Inter on the counter but this looks unlikely.

Verdict
Inter dropped two points last week but had a tremendous cup win over Juve midweek. The confidence is high and if they can score early on then this could be a rout. Empoli have been beaten 3 – 0 three times on the road and something similar is what id expect today.


PICK
Inter Milan – 1.5 , -2 ( 1.96 @ unibet) 5 points
Ibrahimovic anytime scorer ( 2 @ gamebookers) 2 points

GAA Today

I had promised something so here goes. Due to it being the first round i decided that there is no point going in heavy as there too much that i dont know about a few teams at this stage.
A small double just to start off the season for me.

Galway to beat Laois
Clare to beat Carlow

Double pays out at 2.42 @ bet365 and il have 2 points on that
