HOT PICK: TOULOUSE
Top Picks: Stoke, Leverkusen.
Additions: Arsenal, Sporting Gijon (DRAW), Bochum, Valencia.
Match analysis are as follows:
1) Toulouse (+3/4 on AH)
Ratings: 9/10
7th meets 8th as Toulouse pays visit to Lille for a chance to break into the top 3 if they win. Toulouse has had a good run of results, and are a hard team to break down - only twice conceding more than 1 goal in 17 matches! Lille themselves are strong at home - unbeaten in last 7 since their only defeat to Le Mans on 16th Aug. Nevertheless, caution will be the call for both teams here and a draw seems highly likely to happen.
2) Stoke (+3/4 on AH)
Ratings: 8.5/10
Having just lost 0-1 to Derby in the Carling Cup, Stoke will look to redeem some pride in the Premiership. Their recent upturn in the league (losing only once in last 6 matches) will provide extra motivation at St James' Park. Interestingly, Newcastle have not scored nor concede in their last 2 - and stats are showing only a 19.65% chance for Newcastle to win this match.
3) Leverkusen (-3/4 on AH)
Ratings: 7.5/10
Two losses in the last 2 matches have put the brakes on Leverkusen as they slipped to 4th position in the Bundesliga. Despite this, they will be focusing for a win to remain within reach to become this season's league champions. Their opponents, Monchengladbach, are far worse off and remains rooted at the bottom 2 spot. Scoring an average of 2 goals per away game, Leverkusen should be too potent for the struggling home side.
