1860 Munich were unbeaten in nine before tasting defeat last time out
Jonno Turner is backing two capital clubs to triumph this evening, one in Germany and another in England...
I keep hearing about Cheltenham this and Cheltenham that. Yes, they're having a decent season in League Two, but why is everyone suddenly betting on them?
Only kidding. I'm looking out for Lunch Hour today - 12-1. My wife told me this morning that she is leaving (and taking the dog) due to my obsession with horse racing...and they're off!
And we're off! To Germany in fact for our first tip of the day, and in-form 1860 Munich travel to Erzgebirge looking to make amends for a slip up at the weekend which saw their first loss for ten games.
Reiner Maurer's side currently sit sixth in the 2. Bundesliga and have secured five wins from their last seven in the league.
They are extremely hard to beat at the Allianz Arena, but have also been chalking up the results on their travels, and have lost only once in their last six on the road.
And this evening they visit Erzgebirge, who have won just once in nine league games, a run which has seen them to 13th in the table, just two points shy of the relegation play-out place.
In the bigger picture, Karsten Baumann's side have won just three of their last 17 home games, and are without a clean sheet on their own patch in six outings.
1860 Munich have lost just once to Erzgebirge in their last seven meetings, and I think that, following last weekend's loss, they will get their season back on track today.
Bet 1: 1860 Munich (AWAY) to win @ [2.68]
Over to Stamford Bridge for our next pick, as Chelsea welcome Napoli to Stamford Bridge for the second leg of their Champions League encounter.
The Londoners lost the reverse fixture 3-1, giving themselves a real uphill struggle in this game, but a lot has changed since then.
The axe of Roman Abramovich has struck once again, and Andre Villas-Boas is no more. The hosts will be led into this game by Roberto Di Matteo, and the Italian has done well in the outings he has overseen so far.
Two wins from his first two games, albeit against Birmingham and Stoke, have arrested a slump which threatened to end Chelsea's season by mid-March. And Di Matteo will now have his eye on reversing this scoreline as Napoli travel to London.
For all the talk of a crisis, Chelsea have lost just once in their last ten at the Bridge, and have kept an impressive four clean sheets in their last six on their home patch.
And three wins from three in this competition as hosts will give them confidence, especially the manner in which they won those, with 10 goals scored and none conceded.
Napoli have enjoyed an impressive campaign thus far, but their away form does leave a lot to be desired, and they go into this game having won just two of their last six away from the Stadio San Paolo. And the visitors have only managed one win in three away games in this competition.
This is a massive task for the home side - and I fancy a great game this evening.
Bet 2: Chelsea (HOME) to win @ [1.8]
Napoli travel to Chelsea tonight with a 3-1 advantagein the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie. The home side are odds-on to win the match but they are in disarray and Paul Robinson thinks they will struggle....
It's the Merseyside derby tonight in what promises to be an enthralling encounter. Under 2.5 goals is odds-on and the statistics do point to it being a low scoring affair, but in-form Paul Robinson thinks the formbook will be turned...
Jonno Turner is backing Reading to charge into the Championship's top two with a win at Doncaster, and foresees a return to form for League Two promotion hopefuls Crawley......
