Fairly quiet week by clubgowi standards, but we are ahead heading into the weekend and on course (knock wood), to record our tenth winning week from the last eleven.

Just two selections today, but I am just finishing off my notes for what seems sure to be four Football League games tomorrow and we are also covering another 3-4 "in running". Sunday it will be all about Brazilian football and the NFL and in total, we should have previews for circa 14 matches/events much like the one for Mexico in the post below.

Only really Ligue 2 in this email (sent to subscribers this morning), but I will pass on a few words about the Brentford-Shrewsbury Town, League 1 match tomorrow, the Bees are not playing well at present, but have managed to pick up six points in the last week. Coming from 1-0 down early in the second half at home to defeat Colchester United 3-1 last weekend and winning at Bristol City, for whom nothing is going right, 2-1 in midweek.

Norway were very disappointing yesterday and so was the injury time equaliser which Denmark condeded, as that cost us a solid profit on the day, as it was we lost half a unit, no damage done, but frustrating.

There are three newsletters scheduled for today, the first is below and was sent to subscribers at 09.27 this morning. Shonan Bellmare have already won 2-1 which is a solid start to a busy day.

 Schalke are without striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (34-16-4 all comps), also missing are fellow striker Ciprian Marica (21-7-6) and suspended defensive midfielder Jermaine Jones (29-2-6), only CL match he missed was the 2-2 home draw with struggling Montpellier, which is interesting.

Paris SG are 8-1-0 in their last nine Ligue 1 starts, where they have enjoyed an average of 60% possession and a 21-1 goal difference, Ibrahimovic has scored eight of those, but I like the fact that eight other players have got on the scoresheet over this sequence.

Valencia are vastly experienced at this level and they are unbeaten in nine home Champions League starts, but they are a bit of a flat track bully at Mestalla and tend to perform less well against the really big name teams.
