Spain Mallorca v Gijon Prediction
FA CUP QUARTER FINAL PREVIEW
Sunday’s FA Cup quarter finals look like top class betting affairs to me and I can assure all Betdaq players that the big man will be putting his money where his mouth in both games.
I see many pundits are tipping Reading to kick my old team Aston Villa out of the cup but I’m completely the other way! I have to believe Martin O’Neill’s men have the character to put last weeks Carling Cup Final defeat behind them advance to the Semi Finals. This is a Villa team that has been wonderfully molded by their manager and they gave United all they could handle at Wembley before finally succumbing, with a blend of youth and pace that few can match. Fair play to Reading! They have turned their season around after a dreadful start and already have put out top class opposition in getting this far but this is a step too far in my judgement. Villa have been fantastic away from home all season and at 1.92 on the “Daq” I’m a serious backer!
After the sad events at the Britannia Stadium against Arsenal last week I think Stoke City will do well to keep their season on an even keel. Moments such as the one that saw young Ramsay injured in the the challenge from Ryan Shawcross can have a real effect on a side, especially one as physical and aggressive as the Potters. Chelsea have their own well documented problems but I cannot see the Blues losing at Stamford Bridge for a second consecutive week after getting turned over by Man City. Chelsea are 1.3 on Betdaq as I write this and that doesn’t get me excited. However the Asian handicap Line of 1.9 -1.5 goals is very appealing and i’d be staggered if Ancelloti can’t muster a convincing display from his superstars.
In Premier League action on Monday I think Liverpool will lay a beating out to Wigan at the DW stadium. Regardless of the playing surface, the Reds will have far too much for the Latics whose lightweight syle of play sees them headed for a brawl for survival at the foot of the table. 1.66 about Liverpool is a winner in my book!
Join me in the week for more previews and action on the “Daq”

Rooney blamed for knee problem
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson feels Wayne Rooney is at fault for the knee injury which could rule him out of Saturday’s Premier League trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves 9/1, United 3/10, draw 4/1 ).
The Red Devils chief was unhappy that the 24-year-old striker agreed to play for England in Wednesday’s 3-1 international frienly win against Egypt at Wembley, despite carrying a slight knee problem following last Sunday’s Carling Cup final victory against Aston Villa.
Following his 86-minute run-out for the Three Lions, top scorer Rooney (3/10 @Totesport) is a doubt for United’s trip to Molineux and Ferguson feels his player was at fault rather than England coach Fabio capello.
“I don’t think he should have played,” he said.
“It is his own enthusiasm that has caused it. His problem is that he can’t say no.
“He told us on Sunday he was feeling his knee. Then all of a sudden people put an arm around his shoulder with England and he wants to play.
“Fabio Capello has to pick his best team. A win was important so I don’t blame him at all.
“I was more disappointed with Wayne. Why didn’t he come off? I cant believe it.”

Wigan set to unleash new boy Moses
Wigan teenager Victor Moses is closing in on his first match for Latics for the DW Stadium clash with Liverpool on Wednesday evening.
The Reds continue their pursuit of fourth place in the Premier League later and could be boosted by the availability of Glen Johnson who has been out since the end of last year with a knee problem (Wigan 9/2, draw 11/4, Liverpool 8/13).
But the excitement among home fans will focus on January arrival Moses, the highly-rated forward who made the switch to Wigan from cash-strapped Crystal Palace.
Moses has yet to start a match for his new club but after impressing as a substitute it is thought boss Roberto Martinez will give him his chance against Liverpool.
Midfielder Charles N’Zogbia faces a late fitness test on a knee injury while midfielder Paul Scharner is also a doubt with a groin problem, although both are expected to be passed.
If Scharner and N’Zogbia make it then Wigan will have a virtually fully-fit team to chose from, with just Ivorian defender Steve Gohouri ruled out with a back problem.
Liverpool should have centre-half Daniel Agger available after he picked up a knee problem last weekend while Ryan Babel and Alberto Aquilani – who cost over £32m between them – will probably have to make do with a spot on the bench.
