Tuesday 22nd's Action (CL and Championship)

After a mixed wekend of betting comes an immediate chance to get back on track. The 2 Champions League games are as unpredictable as ever. Firstly the Lyon vs Real Madrid game looks sure to give goals. Lyon have scored 4 in each of their last 2 games and are sure to attack in the home leg. Real Madrid averaged 2.29 goals per game this season in La Liga and Ronaldo's 24 in 24 games have reminded everyone at Old Trafford how good he actually is. Lyon have averaged 1.58 goals per game in Liga 1 and for them reasons I'm going for Over 2.5 goals (11/10 Bet365 11/9Betfair) in this one.
Chelsea travel to Denmark to meet FC Copenhagen who have not played a competative game since their last Champions League Game on 8th December. Copenhagan are usually ruthless at home and are 19 points clear in their home league. On top of this they held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw earlier this season. Chelsea will be tested to the maximum tonight and after 120 minutes on Saturday I wouldn't be suprised to see them going back to the Bridge with a lot of work to do. For that reason I will back FC Copenhagan and the Draw at 19/20 (WilliamHill).

Moving on to the Championship and after a few suprise results in tight games at the weekend, hopefully tonight is a little kinder to the punters amongst us. Cardiff (8/5) were beaten at The 'Fortress' Forest Ground on Saturday but I can see them bouncing back quickly to beat Leicester, who needed a last gasp winner on Friday night. Forest should overcome Preston at home and I also expect Leeds to overcome their Yorkshire neighbours Barnsley and at 8/11 they seem a little overpriced. QPR have been going through a sticky spell of late but with Neil Warnock at the helm I cannot forsee a home defeat against improving Ipswich. Even though they bagged 6 on their last away trip I can't see a repeat of this and expect QPR to come away with the win at 8/11. This Cardiff, Forest, Leeds and QPR 4-times pays about 11/1 and is certainly worth a punt.

Good Luck,
