Division 1 playoffs .........

.......get underway today. I have seen all four teams play recently and it is fair to say that they are all in indifferent form. Maybe I caught them on a bad day but Huddersfield were very poor, their play was one dimensional and they were completely dominated by a Brentford team playing, for most of the match, with only 10 men.

Brentford are struggling with injuries and a small squad, along with Swansea they seem incapable of keeping a clean sheet at present. Both league meetings between these two finished 2-1 to the home team, over the season, both Swans home games and Bees away fixtures have averaged almost 3 goals per game. Think we can expect both teams to score and a 2-2 scoreline is not out of the question at a big price.

Barnsley have collected more points than the other three in the second half of the season and have been beaten only once at Oakwell in 23 starts, they will be boosted by the return of captain, Paul Reid.
Despite the 6,000 visiting Huddersfield supporters, I see a little value in the Tykes on the asian line where a draw will return half our stake.

Today's selections........

2 points AIK STOCKHOLM level ball 2.20 asian line
3 points SWANSEA-BRENTFORD over 2.5 goals 2.15 asian line
1/2 point 2-2 correct score (swans-bees) 17.0 betfair/ 15.0 general
3 points BARNSLEY -1/4 2.00 asian line

4/5 winners yesterday, 6/9 for the week.

Good Luck.
