First is Oxford to beat Rushden. Though both sides aren't
in the best of form, Rushden have huge injury & suspension
problems. So much so that manager Barry Hunter may have to
play.
Oxford will play their two new strikers, Sabin (from
Northampton) & Campbell (Cardiff) and by all acounts their
results haven't reflected their performances.
Generally priced @ 5/6.
Second team is St Mirren. They have lost just once this
season & that to league favourites, Dundee.
Queen of the South have scored just one goal in their four
league games and were recently beaten at home in the cup to
today's hosts, St Mirren.
Third side is a side I backed last week, non league
Northwich Vics. They have a slightly tougher game this week
away to Hednesford but they are scoring goals for fun having
bagged 19 in their opening six games.
Sadly the 11/10 on offer from Sid James has gone but they
are a general 10/11
Getafe are decent at home and are unbeaten in their last
12 home games at the backend of last season, which includes
4 consecutive clean sheets and a win of Real Madrid.
They started this season with a decent away win at Espanyol
keeping another clean sheet.
Bilbao have just one away win in their last ten which
includes a defeat to Romanian side Cluj, though they opened
their campaign with an impressive derby win over Sociedad.
However, team news is not favourable for the Basques. They
seem to have a couple of midielders struggling for today as
well as the influential Spanish international, Etxeberria.
Not just in the outfield do they have problems, they are
seriously struggling for a goalkeeper. Their first three are injured. Out of the two B teams
keepers one is injured and one is out on loan, so it looks
like they are relying on their sixth choice keeper.
For me Getafe is the bet, especially at odds against.
