Barcelona to beat Valencia in 90 mins at 8/1

<h2> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Barca can beat wounded Bats again</span></h2> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is fair to say that Valencia are in woeful form, being the only La Liga team not to win in the last 10 Spanish top flight matches, while they are still without a league victory since Gary Neville took charge.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On a run of three straight losses in all competitions, they now face table-toppers and one of the best teams in the world Barcelona, who smashed the Bats 7-0 in the Copa del Rey first leg. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Barca are odds-on 4/7 favourites in the normal market to win in 90 minutes again, which makes our introductory offer all the more enticing.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On top of that, the Catalan club have lost just one of their last 19 matches with Valencia and, with the Bats all-but out of the cup, under-pressure Neville might decide to rest a number of players anyway to concentrate on the league.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Barcelona are currently three points ahead at the top of La Liga, with a game in hand, after going on a run of five straight wins, and with the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez in their attack they simply look unstoppable of late.</span><br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CBJn37rwAvg/VrrHN5xAANI/AAAAAAAAAIw/JHKEr2MOk2o/s400/3.jpg" width="400" /></span></div> <br />

West Ham v Liverpool: Irons and Reds to underwhelm viewers again

<div id="yui_3_1_1_1_145501134686152"> <strong><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">West Ham <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="1" oldtitle="13/8" title="">2.66</b> v Liverpool <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="2" oldtitle="2/1" title="">2.94</b>; The Draw <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="3" oldtitle="5/2" title="">3.50</b><br /> Tuesday, 19:45<br /> Live on BT Sport 2</span></strong></div> <div id="yui_3_1_1_1_145501134686153"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /> <strong>West Ham</strong></span></div> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When these sides met in the Premier League at the Boleyn Ground last month, West Ham were 4.0 outsiders, but following a 3-0 win at Anfield with a 2-0 success that day and silencing Liverpool again in the initial playing of this FA Cup fourth-round tie has earned them <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="4" oldtitle="13/8" title="">2.66</b> favourite billing this time.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the Irons' fifth successive televised clash, and they haven't been too lively in the last few. They were <strong>outplayed on Merseyside</strong> when drawing 0-0 ten days ago despite the Reds playing a lot of youngsters, they did the bare minimum to dismiss ten-man Aston Villa last Tuesday and then lost to Southampton on Saturday, creating little in the 36 minutes in which they enjoyed a man advantage.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In terms of team news, the hosts will be forced to turn to fourth-choice right back Joey O'Brien with James Tomkins and Carl Jenkinson injured and Sam Byram cup-tied, though he impressed off the bench at Anfield. Cheikhou Kouyate should return, while Manuel Lanzini and Diafra Sakho miss out.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /> <strong>Liverpool</strong></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was another disappointing Premier League afternoon for the 18-time English champions against Sunderland as they leaked twice in the closing nine minutes after a fan walkout to turn a 2-0 win into a 2-2 draw. The consequence is that they have won a mere six of their 17 top-flight fixtures under Jurgen Klopp.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cup competitions have proven far more pleasant, with 11 encounters yielding <strong>six victories and four draws</strong>. Even the solitary defeat was the second leg of the Capital One Cup semi-final against Stoke from which they still qualified on penalties, so he has to suffer elimination across three fronts.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Unusually, the German tactician is the team-news headliner for this replay, stepping back inside the dugout days after having his appendix removed. The on-pitch bulletins are promising too, with Klopp noting of his selection that "it will not be like Exeter because a lot of players are now available".</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Those include <strong>Daniel Sturridge</strong>, Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi, yet Joe Gomez, Martin Skrtel, Joe Allen and Danny Ings are all expected to be absent, as well as possibly Dejan Lovren.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /> Match Odds</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">West Ham's positioning as <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="5" oldtitle="13/8" title="">2.66</b> favourites is understandable given their 5-0 aggregate lead in head-to-head combat this season, but their most recent performance against the Reds was the weakest of the lot, and they were indebted to Darren Randolph for this second chance.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They have never beaten Liverpool in the FA Cup in six attempts and, whereas Klopp has instantly taken to the cups, Slaven Bilic hasn't transitioned quite so adroitly.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">His only cup triumphs against top-tier opposition came against Andorra's FC Lusitans and Malta's Birkirkara, with their Europa League progress <strong>stopped in the qualifiers</strong> by Romania's Astra Giurgiu and an immediate Capital One Cup exit inflicted by Leicester's second string.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For just the second time since August, West Ham have lost twice in a five-game span, so they don't arrive in their finest form. Liverpool failed to reach the fifth round just once in the last four years so, even if you don't trust them in 90 minutes at <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="6" oldtitle="2/1" title="">2.94</b>, they look a decent bet to qualify at <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="7" oldtitle="6/5" title="">2.18</b>.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /> Both Teams to Score? No</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="8" oldtitle="5/4" title="">2.26</b> that at least one of the two clubs keep a clean sheet, which seems an exceptional price when you consider that the initial contest finished goalless, West Ham haven't conceded in four-and-a-half hours against Liverpool this term and this bet has paid out in their past four collisions.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No backers were rewarded in each of the Londoners' previous three matches and three of their latest four home outings. The four goals that they permitted in their last seven fixtures in front of their fans were divided equally between Sergio Aguero (one a penalty) and own goal.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Liverpool's "Both Teams to Score? No" stats on their travels are similarly favourable, with <strong>punters paid out seven times out of nine</strong> since December 6. It has also been a winner in five of their last six cup ties at all venues.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /> <strong>Recommended Bet:</strong></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Back Both Teams to Score? No @ <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="9" oldtitle="5/4" title="">2.26</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1YiuHzEqe_c/Vrm2je94xZI/AAAAAAAAAIg/cAJHdaJ_GEA/s1600/liverpool-crystalpalace1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1YiuHzEqe_c/Vrm2je94xZI/AAAAAAAAAIg/cAJHdaJ_GEA/s400/liverpool-crystalpalace1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br />
