05.03. (Sat) 16:00 West Ham United - Stoke City
West Ham will be desperate to follow up their excellent victory last weekend against Liverpool with another three points against Stoke. For me, the key to their survival will be scoring goals as they will always be leaky defensively. They have plenty of attacking options with the likes of Ba, Cole in good form and will be confident of defeating a Stoke side who were poor on Monday night against WBA. The 2.15 on a home victory is worth a bet in what should be an entertaining match.
Match Odds: West Ham 2.15, Draw 3.20, Stoke 3.10
Tip: West Ham to win @ 2.15
05.03. (Sat) 16:00 Peterborough United - Exeter City
Two weeks ago our tip on many goals in a Peterborough game didn’t work – there were “only” 3 scored, but that shouldn’t make us afraid to try again. The team with the league’s best attack and second-worst defence is always bound to produce a goal-fest, and versus Exeter the chances are even better, since the hosts are also exhibiting a nice attacking style.
There is an average of 3.25 goals in Exeter’s away games and an amazing 5.13 goals a game ratio in the Posh’s home matches. Given the good form of Peterborough since Darren Ferguson’s return, a simple bet on home win is also an option to consider.
Match Odds: Peterborough 1.73, Draw 4.00, Exeter 4.33
Tips: Over 4.5 goals (4.33), Peterborough to win (1.73), Peterborough to score 4 or more (6.00).
05.03. (Sat) 19:00 Lorient - Nancy Lorraine
We turn our attention to France this week as Lorient take on Nancy. Unbeaten in 12 games at home in a run that stretches back to last September they take on Nancy who are enduring a poor run losing four of their last five.
Match Odds: Lorient 1.80, Draw 3.25, Nancy 4.20
Tip: Lorient to win @ 1.80
06.03. (Sun) 14:30 Liverpool - Manchester United
Match Odds: West Ham 2.15, Draw 3.20, Stoke 3.10

05.03. (Sat) 19:00 Lorient - Nancy Lorraine
Nancy are just above the relegation zone and will have a task on their hands to get anything from this game. Lorient have held their own against plenty of the French elite this season and the lines are inviting on them racking up another three points. Punters can opt for the -0.75 handicap but a straightforward home win looks a safe bet at 1.80.
Match Odds: Lorient 1.80, Draw 3.25, Nancy 4.20
Tip: Lorient to win @ 1.80
06.03. (Sun) 14:30 Liverpool - Manchester United
One of the biggest matches of the Premier League season is the north west derby between Liverpool and Manchester United. Last time at Anfield it was Liverpool who came out on top as 2-0 winners. This season United’s away record isn’t perhaps as good as you would expect from a team sitting on top of the table. Their 4-0 win at Wigan on Saturday was just their fourth League victory on the road (Blackpool have won five) and they have previously struggled in high-profile fixtures, having drawn 0-0 at Tottenham and Manchester City and were defeated at Chelsea this week. This could be another tough away day for United.
Match Odds: Liverpool 2.70, Draw 3.20, Man Utd 2.40
Tips: Back Draw @ 3.20 / Back Under 2.5 goals @ 1.60
