Tuesday 19th Feb

Busy night tonight and tomorrow in the champions league with a few vital games being played. I fancy a few low scoring games over the two days as teams will be a little cautious to start off with. Also some games in the Championship tonight and one that takes my fancy

Wolves V Scunthorpe

It may seem a bit mad to say but I still think Wolves are a decent outfit. Maybe in the scoring stakes they are not prolific but on their day, the defence is quite solid and capable of holding out decent opposition. Admittedly they were very poor in their FA Cup exit to Cardiff and will be looking to bounce back to winning ways tonight against bottom of the table Scunthorpe. A place within the top 6 is still possible and along with returning to winning ways should be motivational factors tonight. Their home form has been a little erratic to say the least but they have still won 50% of the home games and should improve that stat against a team with only one point and two goals in their last 5 on the road. Scunny’s great start to the year has fallen and they look like a team destined for League one next year. Scoring goals has been a problem for them and 2 goals in their last 8 games is the kind of record that wont keep them up. When Wolves get their defence in order then they can be very efficient. Mick McCarthy will be keen to keep a clean sheet and take an important three points. 1 or 2 – 0 win looks likely.

Olympiakos V Chelsea

Its very hard to oppose Chelsea at the moment. Even while they were missing players to the ACON they were grinding out the results. Now they have John Terry and Frank Lampard available again and Michael Essien and Didier Drogba back in the team. Basically I believe they will do enough to beat the Greeks tonight. It may not be pretty but i think Chelsea have enough quality to grind out a 1 - 0 win.


PICK
Wolves win (1.73 @ bet365) 5 points
Chelsea to win 1 - 0 (6.5 @ bet365) 1 point
