I do not pretend to win every day, or week, that would just be ridiculous and as I have told you many times, the only 100% sure thing and there is not much you can say that about in gambling, is that I will bet 600 + losers in 2014. What is almost as certain, is that the clubgowi newsletter service will make readers who follow it long term and bet all red type selections, somewhere between 100 and 300 times their unit stake over the 12 months. That is not "guaranteed", you will never hear me say that, but it is far and away the most likely thing to happen.

Leicester City have one foot and four toes in the Premier League and just need another seven points to seal the deal. City are VERY strong after the break, collecting 83 points at an average of over 2.18 per game. They are 24-11-3 in the second half, 11-8-0 on the road and overall have taken 16 points from 13 matches in which they have trailed.

Tours are only two points off third place and with home games against Creteil and Auxerre up next, with fancy their chances of a big promotion push, especially if they can avoid defeat today. Two things about that, I do not think it will be so easy now that Laval are on a roll and if there is a team unsuited to playing for a point in Ligue 2, it would be the visitors.

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is still suspended and banned from St James' Park this evening, which means no assistance from him against visitors Everton. Despite a respectable 8th place in the English Premier League for Newcastle United, 2014 has not gone well.

We have opposed Chamois Niortais FC in a couple of Ligue 2 road games recently, most notably at Nimes, when they suffered a heavy defeat. Three points today at Stade René Gaillard would be hugely valuable, taking them not just above Angers, but up into 3rd.
