Thanks Mackem. Stand out for me is the 12/1 on Liverpool. They have beaten ManC this season and they certainly have enough fire power to terrify any top side. I think they have more of a chance of winning the Champions League than Southampton ( 12/1 for Cup ) have of winning the FA Cup.

Senegal to beat Uzbekistan @ 9/10

It's a friendly but Senegal will be using it as prep for the World Cup so I expect them to field a strong side and show a bit of ambition.

Melbourne City vs WS Wanderers

Both teams are almost at full strength and in the fight for netter positions for the play-offs.

City have not won in 4 matches, with 1 draw and 3 defeats, and tonight they must push for a win, otherwise they are in danger of slipping to 6th, the last play-off spot, or even worse, be caught up by teams currently outside top six, but very close.

The Wanderers have good players and are very capable to score here. In their previous encounters this season we saw both teams score.

City should show more urgency, as the pressure is on them to get back to winning ways.

Bet 1: City win @1.83
Bet 2: Team Total - City over 1.5 @1.66
Bet 3: Total goals and BTTS Yes - over 2.5 @1.90

Wellington Phoenix vs Brisbane Roar

Phoenix are just poor. They are rock bottom and in the last 6 matches they conceded 4 goals 3 times.
For this match they have 6 first team players unavailable.

Roar are... roaring at the moment.
They just beat Sydney, the league leaders, away in Sydney last week.
They have 3 players out, but the difference in quality between these two teams is big.
Roar are in contention for a play-off spot, so plenty at stake for them.

Bet 1: Roar (-0.5) @1.96
Bet 2: Roar over 1.5 goals @1.72

Perth Glory vs Melbourne Victory

Victory are in great form with three wins in a row.
They are fighting for the 3rd spot in the play-offs.
They are at nearly full strength for this match.

Glory are in the fight for the last play-off spot.

Both teams score plenty of goals and Perth have a leaky defence too.

Bet: Over 3 goals @1.86
