OMG .......what a day !

Today threatens to be VERY expensive, I have sooooo much information and sooooo many ideas, it is hard to know where to start. Just going to plough through it in 2-3 blogs over the next couple of hours.

Firstly, not so happy about the golf, joint leader in the US is Adam Scott, noted as coming into form last week and in Europe, Paul Casey, flagged as a certain future winner recently, is three strokes clear at the half way stage. Both were available at 18-1 and I don't have a penny on !

Lets start in Spain for today`s selections. . Today, Alaves must beat neighbours Depotivo La Coruna to have any chance of avoiding relegation, I think they will do so. They also need unmotivated Sociedad to avoid defeat at Espanol, as an extra incentive the Alaves board have offered 30,000 euros per man to their Basque neighbours to get a result . This is common in Spain and not illegal, nothing wrong in offering another team money to win, to lose is another matter !

I expect the games where teams have nothing to play for today to produce goals.Clubs want to leave the fans with positive memories for the summer and the final round tends to produce open,attractive football , with plenty of goals. Taking two "overs" in Spain, my main selection being the fixure in Villareal, visitors Racing have gone "over" in 5 of last 6 and this fixture has averaged 5.25 goals over the last 4 seasons, all "over".

4 points Alaves 2.30 william hill
4 points Villareal-Racing over 2.75 goals 2.06 asian line
3 points Celta-Getafe over 2.5 goals 2.06 asian line

More shortly.

Good Luck.
