The best punts for the big week ahead
There's a packed week of Champions League and Europa League action ahead of us, but there are plenty of other tidy looking games taking place over the next seven days too. Here are our punts of the week...
Tuesday
Brighton v Exeter
League One leaders Brighton have been in brilliant form this season and cemented their place at the top with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Peterborough at the weekend. Exeter are happily in mid-table and you get the impression they' be happy to stay there after the dramas of recent years. With Brighton only losing one of their last ten at home, it's hard to look beyond them against a side that's lost their previous two games. Back a win for Brighton at [1.55].
Wednesday
FC Basel v Roma
It's been a pretty dreadful start to the season for Roma. After nine Serie A games they are lying in ninth place with a rather poor 12 points. Their start to their Champions League campaign has been equally as poor with an opening defeat to last year's finalists Bayern Munich understandable, their 3-1 home defeat to FC Basel a fortnight ago will have tightened the noose around Claudio Ranieri's neck a little more. The Swiss will have their work cut out to gain another victory, although they have won their previous three games by 3-1. Back a draw at [3.55].
Thursday
New York Red Bulls v San Jose Earthquakes
We're heading to America for our final punt and the second games in a week between Eastern Conference leaders New York Red Bulls and Western Conference sixth side San Jose Earthquakes. Don't let the standings fool you though, San Jose's total of 46 points is only five behind Thierry Henry's side, so this should be a close game. Red Bulls have only conceded one goal in their last five home games though, while San Jose have lost their previous two games - the last a 1-0 defeat to New York Red Bulls. Back a win for the New Yorkers when the market matures.
