It soon became a cult phrase among supporters. So when the <strong>Old Lady</strong> drew Monaco in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the papers greeted the news with a collective sigh of relief. Phew. "It went well," claimed La Gazzetta dello Sport. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't labour under the misapprehension however that the Old Lady will make the same mistake Arsenal did and grossly underestimate her opponents from the Principality. Monaco have the best away record in Ligue 1, a full seven points better than PSG's, their nearest rival. They have also scored 12 goals in their last four road games. Teenage phenomenon <strong>Anthony Martial </strong>has found the net in six of his last seven outings and will represent Monaco's main threat. Ruthless on the counter under Leonardo Jardim back both teams to score @ <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="0" oldtitle="7/4" title="">2.70</b>. </span><br /> <strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recommended Bet </span></strong><br /> <strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes in Both Teams to Score Market @ <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="1" oldtitle="7/4" title="">2.70</b></span></strong><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /> <strong>Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid<br /> Tuesday, 19:45<br /> Live on ITV</strong></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seconds away from beating Real in the Champions League final in Lisbon last May, that extra-time defeat Atleti suffered is the exception in this rivalry since <strong>Diego Simeone came to the helm</strong> at the Calderon. The Argentine and his players appear to have a psychological edge over their more illustrious crosstown neighbours - Atleti beat Real to the Copa del Rey in 2013 then La Liga in 2014. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They haven't lost any of their six encounters this season, getting the better of them over two legs in the Spanish Super Cup and, once again, the Copa del Rey. But it the trend really about to change? Real appear fresher and over their slump. But Atleti are unbeaten in eight, have <strong>Antoine Griezmann</strong> in electric form with 21 goals in all competitions, and must be confident particularly after they sent Carlo Ancelotti and Cristiano Ronaldo home with their tails between their legs upon their last visit along the banks of the Manzanares, a brutal 4-0 defeat. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back them to qualify @ <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="2" oldtitle="15/8" title="">2.88</b>.</span><br /> <strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recommended Bet </span></strong><br /> <strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Atletico to Qualify @ <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="3" oldtitle="15/8" title="">2.88</b></span></strong><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /> <strong>PSG v Barcelona <br /> Wednesday, 19:45<br /> Live on Sky Sports 1</strong></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The manner in which PSG qualified for the last eight promised to be transformative. To come back after going down to 10 men in the first half hour then twice falling behind to <strong>Chelsea at Stamford Bridge</strong> but still go through on away goals, was, as L'Equipe put it, Heroique. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, it wasn't without cost. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Zlatan Ibrahimovic</strong> and Marco Verratti picked up suspensions. Then in Le Classique against Marseille, David Luiz and Thiago Motta hobbled off injured. PSG of course beat Barça 3-2 at the Parc in September, another performance that saved Laurent Blanc's job. Ibra was missing that night and they still won. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But two of the goalscorers, Luiz and Verratti, both of whom were monstrous in London last month represent big losses for the Parisiens. PSG are undefeated at home in Europe since November 2006 but it's hard to look beyond Barça who were irresistible against City. Back them to be winning at half time/full-time @ <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="4" oldtitle="85/40" title="">3.10</b>.</span><br /> <strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recommended Bet </span></strong><br /> <strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Barcelona winning at Half-Time/Full-Time @ <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="5" oldtitle="85/40" title="">3.10</b></span></strong><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /> <strong>Porto v Bayern Munich <br /> Wednesday, 19:45<br /> Live on Sky Sports 5</strong></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dynamic at Bayern has changed and understandably so after injuries to their red arrows - Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben. Casualties have mounted for Pep Guardiola. Without <strong>Mehdi Benatia</strong>, his rock at the back, David Alaba, one of the players of the season in Europe, and perhaps Bastian Schweinsteiger, he has had to consider a different approach: playing ugly. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's more grind, less groove to their play. Prior to Sunday's 3-0 win at home to Eintracht Frankfurt they had scored only one goal in their last three games. Although likely to be without top scorer Jackson Martinez and speedster <strong>Cristian Tello</strong>, Porto will offer much stiffer opposition. Still the only team left undefeated in the Champions League, it wouldn't be a complete surprise if they held Bayern at home like Shakhtar did in the last round.

Valencia v Levante : Bats to beat Frogs on derby day

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Valencia v Levante</span></strong><br /> <strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Monday April 13, 19:30</span></strong><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the end, it did prove to be much ADO about nothing for our good friend Tobias Gourlay, as ADO Den Haag's 2-0 win over Utrecht left him one goal short of landing the overs bet. No matter, because TG once again nailed <strong>five winners</strong> over the course of the week, which means that between us we've managed 15 winners from 21 bets in this column over the past three weeks.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enough self-promotion, let's get down to business. We'll start in Spain, and a clash between Valencia and Levante. I once very much enjoyed what I would term as a sunshine break in Valencia. On reflection I may be misremembering the temperatures, because as I strolled around in shorts and a T-shirt, locals huddled together for warmth in sand-coloured knitwear. Brits abroad, eh?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Levante are certainly feeling the heat at the wrong end of the La Liga table, and they are only out of the dropzone on head-to-head record with Almeria, who they recently thrashed 4-1. That was only Levante's <strong>second away win</strong> of the season, and they are generally pretty poor on the road.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Levante have lost nine of their 15 away games this term, and it's their results against the big boys which are of interest to us today. The Frogs have lost 2-0 at Real Madrid, 5-0 at Barcelona and 3-1 at Atletico Madrid. Today they visit a Valencia side that is fourth in the standings, and has the chance to go three points clear of Sevilla in the race for Champions League qualification. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Valencia are on the up after a much-needed cash injection from businessman Peter Lim, and former Rio Ave coach <strong>Nuno Santo</strong> is having an excellent debut season. Valencia have a home record which isn't too far short of those boasted by the top three, with 12 wins, two draws and just one loss.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Importantly for our purposes, nine of those 12 home wins were by a margin of two goals or greater. Even with defender Nicolas Otamendi suspended and midfielder Enzo Perez injured, Valencia should have enough quality to win this derby comfortably. Los Che are <strong>unbeaten in nine,</strong> they have kept a clean sheet in their last four home games, and they haven't lost at home to their local rivals in eight matches at the Mestalla.</span><br /> <strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recommended Bet</span></strong><br /> <br /> <strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back Valencia -1.5 on the Asian Handicap at [2.09]</span></strong><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxKGyYfAIiCcXAb-As3jBISfoAirZF8e5Blpgas_AkamEY0dEvhIr6tG5Gyd3AsA4owtpXXRpdzODFHTcs8d2ivrv6ATO32Jb-50eIG2mU8v-VN_L_61a1v515jWEXRbTxYu4fozW19w8/s1600/player103.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxKGyYfAIiCcXAb-As3jBISfoAirZF8e5Blpgas_AkamEY0dEvhIr6tG5Gyd3AsA4owtpXXRpdzODFHTcs8d2ivrv6ATO32Jb-50eIG2mU8v-VN_L_61a1v515jWEXRbTxYu4fozW19w8/s1600/player103.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br />

The Serie A sharpshooter is a 9/2 chance to open proceedings in his latest outing, having previously struck a delightful double against Verona last year.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><strong>Bastia v PSG</strong><br />Reigning French champions and current Ligue 1 leaders, odds-on 1/3 favourites to triumph in 90 minutes, have already toppled their domestic rivals this campaign, in a comfortable 2-0 win at the Parc des Princes.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">Uruguayan frontman Edinson Cavani was on target in that simple home win and is a 4/1 chance to bag a brace or more in this French League Cup final fixture.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigkXK1BWBvdNivw_S5pMiCXu4DiaJZR-BQp4JK1bXqrxExI5i7yRhvTPJskZjkblRIbJ6dNYhtsQ6MIMJYpgoNk5bGMx0Efvzcgaekf4tl2Xq39KvGA8EMrpsrNrrfgGogr-gMxWLgQFCf/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #f7441a; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigkXK1BWBvdNivw_S5pMiCXu4DiaJZR-BQp4JK1bXqrxExI5i7yRhvTPJskZjkblRIbJ6dNYhtsQ6MIMJYpgoNk5bGMx0Efvzcgaekf4tl2Xq39KvGA8EMrpsrNrrfgGogr-gMxWLgQFCf/s1600/4.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; margin-top: 5px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px;" width="320" /></a></div>

On top of that, they are the in-form team of the English top flight, having claimed victories in each of their previous seven matches, and now find themselves up in second. Back them odds-on at 4/7 to triumph at Turf Moor too.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">The Gunners ran out 3-0 winners against the Clarets in the reverse fixture this season, with Alexis Sanchez bagging a brace. The Chilean is 5/4 to score anytime again, and 5/1 for two or more. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><strong>Malaga v Atletico Madrid</strong>Diego Simeone’s side are also in great form, as they are unbeaten in their previous seven in La Liga and have won their last three, including most recently against David Moyes’ Real Sociedad. Atleti have defeated Malaga in four of their last six meetings, losing none, meanwhile, and are odds-on favourites at 19/20 to triumph once more. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">Prolific French attacker Antoine Griezmann netted against the Anchovies at the Vicente Calderon Stadium earlier this season, and is 6/5 in the anytime market. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><strong>Parma v Juventus</strong>This is a clash between top and bottom, with Juve a massive 57 points ahead of financially-troubled club Parma. The Turin titans have lost just one match all season from 29 fixtures, and thrashed the Crusaders 7-0 at home in Serie A this term. They are heavily odds-on at 1/5 for victory again. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">For goals, back Carlos Tevez and Spaniards Fernando Llorente and Alvaro Morata, who all bagged braces in that game, at 8/13, 10/11 and 4/5 in the anytime market respectively. </span><br /> <div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9U24U-t2F-pF4wcXg7d-_K7kMOPG_NUEFcAADx_eeITgAKI8SZoN2Rik84pjpRxbb37vZuzd_DPtCchZew5yDEFYIvtKtMw6gJa6RmilYZJW4VjMVjqIEIbFKxF-XoWPEbktsJszN_irB/s1600/21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #f7441a; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9U24U-t2F-pF4wcXg7d-_K7kMOPG_NUEFcAADx_eeITgAKI8SZoN2Rik84pjpRxbb37vZuzd_DPtCchZew5yDEFYIvtKtMw6gJa6RmilYZJW4VjMVjqIEIbFKxF-XoWPEbktsJszN_irB/s1600/21.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; margin-top: 5px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px;" width="320" /></a></div>

Just one defeat in their last ten games and five wins in a row mean they'll fancy their chances of securing three points in this fixture for the first time since December 2012.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">With Michael Carrick back in midfield, Daley Blind back at left back and <strong>Marouane Fellaini </strong>playing the role of devastating, deep-lying target man, United have found a balance that eluded them earlier in the campaign.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">With City in a bit of a mini-crisis, United fans will be confident going into this game for the first time in a couple of years. Robin van Persie misses out through injury.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><br /><strong>Man City</strong></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">We're in the business end of the season now and Man City's campaign has pretty much fallen apart. Out of Europe, out of the cup and now realistically out of the title race, Manuel Pellegrini is more than likely to be out of a job come May. A derby win would only be a plaster on the broken leg of their season.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">City's recent record in this fixture is good however, and the players will be desperate to put their recent wobble right in the most dramatic way possible - with a win over their local rivals.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">Captain Vincent Kompany may miss out through injury (which would arguably be a bonus for City given his recent form), Wilfried Bony still has an ankle problem and won't feature, and Stevan Jovetic also misses out.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><br /><strong>Match Odds</strong></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">A few weeks ago, the very idea of United going into this game as favourites would have been laughable in the extreme, but favourites they are, at <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="1" oldtitle="7/4" title="">2.72</b>, and what a difference three or four games can make in this league. City's price has drifted out beyond belief initially before coming back in again slightly and the market now looks pretty poised. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">City are at <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="2" oldtitle="15/8" title="">2.88</b> and The Draw is available at [3.45]. I would probably rate United as slight favourites and think the market is just about right. To me, City look like they're on a downward spiral and I think it might be terminal for Pellegrini's reign - they've lost their last three away from home, too. For that reason, I have to side with a Van Gaal side with the bit between their teeth, especially given they're the home side.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><br /><strong>Over/Under 2.5 Goals</strong></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">This fixture has long had a reputation for being a slugfest, with both teams attacking keenly and goals being the result.

The title is slipping out of reach so the priority now is claiming a top-three spot - and they cannot afford to ease off as fourth-placed Monaco are only two points behind them.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">The result should be an open and entertaining encounter in which both sides play on the front foot. Bordeaux manager <strong>Willy Sagnol</strong> encourages his players to attack at home, and it is not in the nature of Marcelo Bielsa's visitors to sit back and defend.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">The stats back up our Over 2.5 Goals selection. Seventeen of Bordeaux's 31 games (including nine out of 15 at home) and 20 of Marseille's 31 games (including nine out of 15 away from home) have featured over 2.5 goals.
