Picks for 8 Feb, 2009

Top Picks: Siena (Over 2.5g), Lyon, Bayern Munich.
Additions: AS Roma.

Match analysis are as follows:

1) Siena (Over 2.5g)
Ratings: 8.5/10
Sampdoria host Siena, who sits a point above them at the lower rung of the Serie A. Both teams have been out of sort lately, conceding unnecessary goals with their leaky defense. Siena has not scored in their last 4 away, and will probably be able to notch one here. Sampdoria will also look to take advantage of Siena's poor away form. Therefore the logical call here is to go for Over 2.5 goals for this match.

2) Lyon (-1/4 on AH)
Ratings: 8.5/10
Lyon did no favours for themselves when they drew against St Etienne previously, which sees them holding a slender 1 point lead at the top of the French Ligue 1. They cannot ill afford another draw as there are 5 teams behind them who are within range to take advantage of any slip ups by the leader. Despite this, Lyon will take comfort that they have an excellent record when visiting Nice. A solid away win is on the cards as they seek to re-affirm their lead.

2) Bayern Munich (-1 1/4 on AH)
Ratings: 8/10
Bayern's costly slip up last week against Hamburg have seen them slipping to 4th position in the Bundesliga. They are now 3pts behind surprise leaders Hoffenheim, who travel to basement team Monchengladbach with the opportunity to stretch their lead at the top. This is a must win match for the home team and with head-to-head stats favouring them it should be put them back on track in the title race with an easy 3pts win.
