Feyenoord -1.5 Asian Handicap

  

Feyenoord to win 3-0

Three defeats in a row and Feyenoord find themselves well out of the race for the Dutch Eredivisie title and with a few of the other top 10 clubs breathing down their necks. It's an unfamiliar position for a side that started the season hoping to re-engage as a legitimate title contender.

The latest loss was perhaps the most disheartening. AZ Alkmaar ran riot over Feyenoord securing a 4-2 victory, one game after a tough 2-0 loss to PSV and completing a terrible start to the year, which began with a 3-1 loss to NEC.

Things aren't perfect for Heerenveen, though they did improve with a 3-1 victory over Willem II at the weekend. Prior to that win, they'd suffered defeats in three straight games, including a pair of 5-2 and 4-1 thrashings at the hands of PEC Zwolle and ADO Den Haag respectively.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Feyenoord have to snap bad run

However, bad their current form, Feyenoord still have the third best squad in Dutch football and we're confident that they'll end their current rut here.


2. Heerenveen goals against record

Nine goals conceded in their two most recent losses, it just feels like Heerenveen are a club that is a little fragile defensively and that has to be a problem.

3. Odds

Nothing stands out, but the two-goal Asian Handicap combines probability with money-making opportunity nicely.

Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao - Bet-tu

Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao Betting Tips

The Copa Del Rey Quarter Final 2nd leg between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao takes place on Wednesday. Our betting suggest a home win but perhaps not a goal-fest.

This is the third meeting between the sides in 11 days and 7th time the sides have met in the past 8 months so clearly they are familiar foes. Barcelona won the Copa Del Rey final between the pair back in May but Athletic were convincing 5-1 aggregate winners in the Super Cup at the start of this season.

BARCELONA TO WIN & UNDER 3.5

However Barcelona have won all 3 meetings since then including a 6-0 win when the sides met in the league at the Camp Nou earlier this month and a 2-1 victory in last week's 1st leg in the Basque Country. Munir and Neymar scored early goals in that game to give the Catalans a firm advantage but a late strike by Aritz Aduriz, who now has 5 goals against Barca this season, has given Athletic a glimmer of hope.

Barcelona were without both Luis Suarez and Leo Messi in the 1st Leg but both returned for the 2-1 win at Malaga at the weekend with Munir starting instead of Neymar and again finding himself on the scoresheet. Luis Enrique is likely to rotate his squad again here with a huge game in the league against 2nd placed Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

They would really cement themselves in a strong position in the La Liga title race by winning that game so it will be the priority and Barca's recent ability to grind out wins without key players or playing their absolute best football could come in handy here as they look to complete the job. The likes of Munir, Sergi Roberto as well as new signings Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal will all be contenders to start again here and we are unlikely to see any repeat of the 6-0 scoreline when these sides last met at the Camp Nou when Athletic had a man sent off in the opening minutes.

Therefore odds of 13/10 for Barcelona to win and there to be under 3.5 goals look to appeal. Ernesto Valverde's admirable determination to always put out strong teams no matter what the situation could ultimately come back to haunt him given the number of games they've already had to play.

Athletic were impressive 5-2 winners against Eibar at the weekend and their overall form is good but it is hard to see them fighting their way back into this tie even if it is a slightly weakened Barcelona side they face.

They should be able to make a game of it though and Barca may really take their foot off the pedal if they go in front with the Atleti game in mind so consider backing a repeat of the 1st leg scoreline and a 2-1 Barcelona win at 7/1.

AZ Alkmaar vs Cambuur Betting Tips

AZ Alkmaar vs Cambuur Betting Tips

Get our best betting tips and expert analysis for midweek Dutch Eredivisie action as AZ Alkmaar play host to Cambuur on Wednesday night.

AZ Alkmaar have started 2016 with back-to-back wins and there are just some signs that this club is starting to like its position in the Dutch Eredivisie table and starting to enjoy the football that it is playing.

BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

AZ TO WIN: 3:1

Quietly, AZ are only eight points behind fourth place Heracles and they certainly demonstrated some of their credentials at the weekend thrashing Feyenoord 4-2 in a shootout style football game. It's a young squad and things have come together for AZ in recent weeks.

Their next obstacle is an increasingly desperate Cambuur, who are second from bottom in the table and are trying to chase down more experienced sides in Willem II, Excelsior and Twente.

Their start to 2016 hasn't been ideal, a pair of losses to Vitesse and Den Haag. Prior to that they had picked up a pair of impressive back-to-back wins, a 4-1 thrashing of Excelsior and a 3-1 decision against NEC. The point is, whatever the quality of their results, Cambuur are a team that can definitely score.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. AZ's opening up

This team will be feeling confident, they'll play aggressively and they'll surely instigate an attacking game of football.


2. Cambuur can score

47 goals conceded in 23 games tells a pretty good story, but Cambuur have also scored 23 times, they're a good enough attack to score against most.

3. Style of football makes BTTS good bet

There will be goals, the game will be open, both teams are better in attack than in defence and we're getting the BTTS bet at 4/6.
