Picks for 6 Jan, 2009.

Top Picks: Tottenham, Atletico Madrid.

Match analysis are as follows:

1) Tottenham (-1 1/4 on AH)
Ratings: 8.0/10
First semi-final in the two-legged League Cup tie takes place at White Hart Lane. Spurs will be buoyed with their recent FA Cup win over Wigan after a blip of 5 matches without any wins. Burnley have basically surpassed the expectations of many to reach this stage, and Spurs looks good to stop them from progressing into the final. Playing at home will be vital for Spurs to grab as many goals before the return leg, hence a punt on the home team to overcome the handicap looks tasty indeed.


2) Atletico Madrid (+1/2 on AH)
Ratings: 8.0/10
An interesting match is in store as Barcelona visits Atletico Madrid in this two-legged Copa Del Rey cup tie. Barcelona are fast becoming the best team in Europe, crushing teams with ease in all competitions. Away from Nou Camp, they have remained undefeated in their last 11. Nevertheless, Atletico Madrid are no mugs either, and at home they are strong defensively. Stats reveal a high probability of a draw, as Barcelona have yet to draw in their last 13 away matches.
