Picks for 30 Nov, 2008

Top Picks: Sporting Gijon, Torino, Paris St Germain.
Additions: Wolfsburg, Blackburn, Mallorca.

Match analysis are as follows:

1. Sporting Gijon (+1/2 on AH)
Ratings: 8/10
Struggling Espanyol hosts Sporting, who holds the record as the only team in La Liga yet to attain a draw. Despite losing their first 5 matches, Gijon have proceeded to win 5 of their 7 last matches, leap-frogging them into 13th spot. The free-scoring team will be looking to notch another victory at Espanyol, but statistics point to a high-scoring draw. Buy the outright DRAW, and Gijon with the half ball handicap start.

2. Torino (+1/2 on AH)
Ratings: 7/10
Siena are misers at home, letting in a meagre 2 goals to date. Despite this, they have only managed 3 victories, mostly by the 1-0 scoreline. Visitors Torino meanwhile are beginning to find their foot, showing decent form in their last 5 matches. With 4pts separating these 2 teams, Torino would be extra motivated to gun for a win to shorten the gap.

3. Paris St Germain (+1/4 on AH)
Ratings: 8.5/10
Two form teams meet in this intriguing match as the winning team will have a chance to move into the top 3 in the French Ligue 1 table. Since their 0-1 loss to Grenoble in Aug 2008, Rennes have remained unbeaten in their steady climb to the current 4th position - remaining unbeaten at home in the league. Their opposition are also on form, raking in 4 wins out of their last 4 matches. PSG will be looking to spoil Rennes march, but will most likely settle for a draw.
