Poland host Serbia in an international friendly fixture at the Stadion Narodowy in Warsaw tonight. The Serbian team has recently appointed head coach Radosav Curcic and despite having so many good players in the names of Tomovkic, Ivanovic, Tosic, Kolarov and Matic, the players don't seem to play in a team. If you've watched the Czech Republic vs Serbia (4-1 loss of Serbia) you will know what I'm talking about. Statistics also prove my point:
 
Radosav Curcic’s side have won just two of their last 15 internationals, losing eight, and they have lost four of their last five road games (W1). Also, having seen the need to call some U19 players in the national team, I don't think that Curcic gives too much importance on this friendly.
In the contrary scenario, Poland has much more to prove from this match. They have the possibility to prove their desire to win the Euro and with a full squad at disposition tonight, they will show at least 2 goals in this match. We can't forget that Lewadowski Lewandowski and Jakub Blaszczykowski have also ben called for tonight's match. This only proves 1 point: Poland will not leave any stone untouched for this match. Little appealing note: Lewadowski has scored 44 goals during 44 matches for Bayern and Poland this season.
Team News:
Poland Predicted line-up (4-2-3-1): Szczesny – Jedrzejczyk, Glik, Pazdan, Rybus – Jodlowiec, Maczynski – Blaszczykowski, Kaputska, Milik – Lewandowski.
Serbian Predicted line-up (4-2-3-1): Stojkovic – Tomovkic, Ivanovic, Tosic, Kolarov – Gudelj, Matic – Kostic, Grujic, Maksimovic – Mitrovic.
Again let me remind you the key points why I expect Poland's victory:
. Poland has a full squad at disposal, including an excellent Lewadowski
. Sebia has good players but they can't play as a team
. Poland has trashed Czech 3-1 while the latter hammered Serbia 4-1
. Serbia has nothing to play here, Poland has much more to prove
. Poland is in real good shape.
SO without delay, bet on Poland to win, offered at Bet365 for 2.00

Arsenal Vs Barcelona preview

 This game gonna be a huge match. Remember the Arsenal win over Bayern? Don't expect this tonight, because Barcelona will not be going to repeat Bayern's mistake.

Ok to summarise Bayern's mistake on the 2-0 loss, let's say that Bayern preferred to have safe opportunities on the flanks rather than taking upon clinical chances. This is how Arsenal cut their game through putting the ball on corners or throw-ins. The second leg was totally different; instead of using the flanks as safe way to cross in goals, Bayern used the very wings to penetrate the Arsenal's box, and this is the game changer I am expecting.
Look, I agree that Arsenal is a very good team, plays a lot like the Barcelona's team, has its own very starts and arguably plays the most beautiful football in EPL. But if they are like Barcelona, they are only a copy and have their very own problems:
-Their best defender is aging and we've seen it ever since the 4-0 defeat with So'ton (Mertesaker)
-They will shatter much faster without Cazorla, being their best man against the Bayern's 2-0 win, keeping the ball in short space, pressing hard and trying to break the away team's tempo.
-Ozil will have a tough time against Busquets, the most underrated Barca player
- Sanchez is not at his peak but I won't say he does not have a chance to score.
On the other hand, MSN is perhaps at its peak, I remember Suarez destroying big defenses in the EPL (LFC fan) and with a worse defence than previous seasons, I can't see Arsenal defending much. Their best chance is Cech, who will surely make excellent saves, but won't be able to block all shots. Overall, I say that Busquets will be the key man for a trashing victory where the tempo, possession and counter breaker will be the big man's task. I believe a high scoring match, though Barcelona is not going to play 100% tonight (They have Sevilla match to take care of) and this is the only chance that Arsenal will score.
Final say: Barcelona to win and over 2.5 goals
Try fun bets: 1-2, 1-3, 1-4

Betting Tip Of The Day

Burnley didn’t look that well in their previous game away to Reading last weekend, but still had their own chances to walk away with all three points, including a penalty kick missed by Gray in 59th minute. Overall, they left the ball possession to their opponents, but were dangerous on counter attacks, in a bit less interesting game than what was expected.
Still the team remained undefeated in last three matches in all competitions and in last eight in Championship, since they continue to be very close to the top of the table – currently at fourth position with four points less than leaders from Hull and just two points away from second placed Middlesbrough. This means that they are in a must win situation in order to continue their race for two direct promoting spots. In front of own fans they have been doing very well for now with 10-3-2 record and surely that everything except a victory would be a huge setback for them. Home side will probably go unchanged here, while they continue to miss offensive players Ashley Barnes (no performance anyway in the new season) and Lukas Jutkiewicz (5/0).

Rotherham, on the other side, also comes into this match after a goalless draw, but for them it was at home against Birmingham. It was quite a passive game from both sides, with very rare goal scoring opportunities, but the home side will still feel much more satisfied with a point taken, since they were playing with a man less since 79th minute when Wood got excluded and ended up playing with two man less following exclusion of Mattock during the additional time.
With this result, they remained without a victory in last five rounds of Championship, still being in the relegation zone, currently at 22nd position and with five points less than first safely placed sides from MK Dons and Bristol City. Away from home the team have been terrible all season long with 2-2-11 record and everything except a loss here would be quite a surprise for them, while they would probably feel content even with a narrow loss. Visitors will probably make a few changes here, while they continue to miss suspended central defender Richard Wood (2/0) and left full back Joe Mattock (22/1). Doubtful for today’s game are forward Leon Best (1/0) and Stephen Kelly (3/0).

Rotherham have lost 5 of their last 6 away matches (Championship).

Rotherham have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 5 away matches (Championship).

Burnley are undefeated in their last 8 matches (Championship).

Burnley is close to the top of the table now and I don’t see them making a setback soon, at least not in front of own fans. Rotherham does much better at home, while they don’t seem to be so reliable away from home. I believe the trend will continue with an easy victory for the Clarets.

Bet on Burnley to win match

Paul Lambert was 'delighted' by sacking at Aston Villa

Paul Lambert has revealed he was "delighted" when his ordeal as Aston Villa manager was finally brought to an end.

Lambert endured a dismal three-year spell at Villa Park which culminated in his sacking in February 2015, with Tim Sherwood appointed as his successor.
Villa have since plummeted to the bottom of the Premier League, and to the brink of relegation to the Sky Bet Championship, with the club's players heavily criticised for recent performances.

In an exclusive interview with Soccer Saturday, Lambert reflected on his turbulent tenure, revealing it came as a relief when he finally parted company with the club.
"The lads at Villa at that time gave us everything, there was never one time where I walked away and thought we had thrown the towel in," Lambert said.
"We just found things hard towards the end. As I've said before, Villa is a great club, always has been and always will be, but I knew my time was up.

"Some of the things that were going on were never right so when it [the sacking] did actually happen, I was delighted it was going to happen."
Lambert is now tasked with overseeing Blackburn's attempts to restore their Premier League status.
The 46-year-old signed a two-and-a-half year deal at Ewood Park in November, following Gary Bowyer's sacking, and he is keen to atone for his time at Villa.

"At Blackburn I made a conscious decision not to go down the route I did when I was at Aston Villa," he added.
"There were things I definitely learned from my time there, things that I had to take that I wouldn't take now, things inside."
Lambert has set his sights on achieving promotion in the coming seasons, although he believes this goal relies heavily on the club's owners' investment in the team.

"Blackburn is a club that has lost its way, due to the [transfer] embargo and things like that," he said. "But that has been lifted, which is a massive step for this club going forward.
"The most important thing for this football club is the summer window, whether the owners think we're going to go for it and get out of the league in the next attempt, and see what happens. It's a really good club and it needs to find its feet again."
Lambert took time out of the game following his departure from Villa, embarking on a nine-month football coaching tour which saw him work with Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti.

During his time on the continent, Lambert was even offered a manager's role at an unnamed European club, but the Scot revealed it was too soon to plunge back into the dugout, despite his "brilliant" experiences with some of Europe's elite clubs.
"I was over with Jurgen at Dortmund for nine days and watched them train," Lambert said. "I was at Bayern Munich when Pep was there and it was brilliant, I really enjoyed it.
"Real Madrid was brilliant, Carlo Ancelotti was absolutely fantastic and it doesn't surprise me that he's on his way to Bayern.
"I had the chance to go abroad and but at that time I don't want to do it. I don't want to name the club."
