Liverpool - Wigan

There’re finally some smiles at Anfield. They’re in the run of four consecutive wins without conceding and I’m sure they haven’t given up from the idea about Champions League next year (currently six points far from 4th spot). Liverpool have been playing much better at home and have scored two or more goals in seven of last nine games at home. Gerrard and Skrtel are rated as in doubt, while Martin Kelly should be fit.

Wigan will definitely be struggling till the last round. Their win in the previous round over Blackburn was their first of last 16 games and they’re currently first under the relegation line. They have never won at Anfield, losing five of last six competitive games. Defender Gary Caldwell should play with the mask.

Confidence at Eland is sky high after a great win over Chelsea. I expect a more attacking approach and victory with at least two goals margin (with one, half stake is back). Suarez should score. First bet on Liverpool after a while, a year or so.

WC 2010 - 26.06.

Uruguay - Korea Republic, Uruguay -0.75ah @ 2.19 (188bet)  2-1 1/2 WIN

Uruguay looked really good in all of 3 group games.Defense line isn't the big problem as it was predicted,more than decent midfield and great Forlan in front,supported by Suarez.Also,they look fine under the pressure,tactically organized...I like their chances in this game,but in the next one as well.

.

Korea played a great match against Greece (terrible Greec,I'd say),then 1-4 vs. Argies and shocker against Nigeria.Both goals they conceded against Africans were big mistakes by defense line.They have a good pace,Parks (I mean both) are dangerous,they still have some good habits left from Hiddink's time...But no,I can't imagine them in the next round.

Uruguay is a clear favorite here and I expect a safe win.2-0 correct score.

.

One gamble will follow, stay tuned.
