I have previewed three of tonight's Ligue 2 matches for subscribers (one below) and given stats for a fourth and also sent them notes about almost all of tomorrow morning's J-League fixtures. A massive weekend ahead for us and I am hoping to share one , maybe two more on here over the weekend.

France Ligue 2: ( written 09.30 Friday October 18)

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.

Norway are way down in 4th place in Group E, but are only two points off second spot and still have matters in their own hands, if they beat third placed Slovenia today and Iceland on Tuesday, they will be second.... simple. Things are often so much easier when they are cut and dry like that, drop points today and they are very likely to be eliminated. Of course, Slovenia have eveything to play for too, but have looked vunerable at home on occasion, like many teams in this group, with the three front contenders for the runner up spot having each lost two of their four home starts.

In addition to the three full match previews for subscribers yesterday, one of which you can read in the previous post ( Earthquakes won 1-0 BTW) , I wrote a few lines about just one other game.....

Rapids did us a big favour with that 5-1 demolition of Seattle Sounders on Saturday, ahead of which I wrote ..."You know that I am a Seattle "fan" and have tipped them up as likely Supporters Shield winners for many weeks and I have been on the money there, but I feel they might lose this evening. They have two games in hand of many teams and they might just be more focused on two big West Coast match ups over the next seven days against Vancouver and Portland.

Absolutely no love lost between these two clubs and this is far and away the hottest derby in French football. The hosts would love to win this, three points would take them up above the Parisians and into second place, but they just look a level below both PSG and Monaco and although most teams will come away pointless from Dortmund, the level and manner of the 3-0 midweek defeat and earlier home loss to Arsenal, is a clear indication of where they stand in the bigger European picture.

The results page has been updated to October 1st, including for free to view content and you can also read there about "the smaller bettor and clubgowi".

I have previewed a lot of matches today, three each from Brazil and the Champions League and we also got involved in the first AFC Champions League game today, where we managed to start the day off with a decent profit.

I can share with you one of the more basic previews....

Champions League :Manchester City-Bayern Munich

I have sent subscribers to the newsletter service three English football previews for this afternoon and one La Liga selection, which you can read below. It is not lunchtime yet in my part of the world, but we are already 2 from 2 on the day, with a couple of J-League winners at odds of 2.24 and 2.62 in notes which were sent out Friday afternoon.
