I decided to pick as many as three matches tonight, actually I didn't do it for longer time, but my bank is in very good condition so I have the possibility of a little more risk. Especially before the start of the LOI, which will be my main occupation in the coming months.

Spain, Primera Division
Athletic Bilbao vs Granada

Bilbao wants to continue a great series on the new San Mames after the first league defeat against Espanyol. Their mood is good again after the victory against Betis in the previous round. Another good news is the return of key striker A. Aduriz after suspension. Also, a key centre back A. Laporte will start instead of M. San Jose, while midfielders I. Gomez and Benat are still injured. On the other hand, Granada is with four losses in the last five rounds, and their mood is bad after the defeat at Mestalla, where they had a lead, in the last round. Key midfielder F. Rico is injured, key centre back J. Murillo is suspended and key attacking midfielder Piti is out too. I can see easy victory for the Basque side.

bet: Athletic Bilbao winby two or more goals difference
odds: @2.25
stake: 1/5

France, Ligue 1

Evian vs Nantes

Encounter between the two teams in the worst shape in the league. Yet home side is more motivated because is situated right there above the relegation zone. They also have the incentive as a captain O. Sorlin and a key centre back C. Mongongu are returning to the starting line-up. On the other hand, Nantes is in a bad mood after the debacle in the Brittany derby at home (0:3 versus Rennes). Their topscorer F. Djordjevic (9 of 23 team's goals) is still suspended, right back I. Cissokho (3ass) is injured and regular striker S. Gakpe is unavailable by coach's decision. Evian is close to winning and I found a solid odds at my local.

bet: Evian win
odds: @2.25
stake: 1/5

Netherlands, Eredivisie

Heracles vs Heerenveen

Heracles have three suspended players: topscorer B. Linssen, defenders J. Streutker and M. te Wierik, while another defender J. Veldmate is doubtful. On the other side, Marco van Basten can't count on injured strikers B. Basacikoglu and L. Slagveer, but has H. Ziyech, M. de Roon and J. van den Berg (three key midfielders) back from suspension. Heracles is one of the worst hosts in the league and away odds are really tempting, imo.

bet: Heerenveen win (draw no bet)
odds: 2.05
stake: 1/5

Good luck!

Twice in my life I have placed bets on 'Last Tryscorer' in rugby matches.

Both times it was accidental- I meant first tryscorer but wasn't paying full attention and took the wrong market.

Both times the player got the first try. Ferris at 40-1 a few years ago and Pienaar at 12-1 tonight. €260 lost in all.

FML.
