BET 1 Soccer Treble at 4/1 Barcelona WIN TO NIL 9/10 – Leicester City WIN 7/10 – Liverpool (-1) HANDICAP
11/20 Barcelona vs Girona (HOME WIN TO NIL) 9/10 – Highflying Barcelona continued their La Liga dominance with a 2-0 win away to Eibar last weekend. If ever there was a time that a team looks invincible, it’s now. Barca are still unbeaten with 14 games left to play.
Girona are slowly climbing the table, moving to eighth with an impressive 3-0 win over Leganes last weekend. But their away form has let them down in recent weeks – they failed to win in their last five attempts.. Get on the Home Win to Nil market at 9/10.
Leicester City vs Stoke City (HOME WIN) 7/10 – Leicester City reached the quarterfinals of the FA Cup last Friday thanks to a 1-0 home victory over Sheffield United. There were positives for the Foxes as Riyad Mahrez was back in the side – after missing 10 days of training when his proposed move to Man City did not materialise – and Jamie Vardy continued his goal-scoring form. It was the fifth game in a row Vardy had been on target.
Claude Puel’s men will be looking to end their three-game winless run in the Premier League. Stoke are struggling at 19th on the table and winless in their last nine travels, suffering seven defeats – including last month’s FA Cup defeat away to Coventry City. Back the home win.
Liverpool vs West Ham (HOME -1 HANDICAP) 11/20 – Liverpool are third in the Premier League, with two points behind secondplaced Man United and one above fourth-placed Chelsea. Jurgen Klopp’s side recorded back-to-back away wins in the Premier League, beating Huddersfield 3-0 and Southampton 2-0 in between a 2-2 draw at home to Tottenham and they thrashed Porto 5-0 in their own back yard in the UEFA Champions League. West Ham returned to winning ways last time out by claiming a 2-0 home win over Watford.
Before that game, David Moyes’s side were winless in three matches, drawing backto-back home games against Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, before losing 3-1 away to Brighton. Liverpool thumped the Hammers 4-1 at the London Stadium in November and it should be another comfortable win for the Reds. Go for the hosts on the (-1) Handicap at 11/20.

Valencia vs Real Sociedad (HOME WIN & BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE) 17/10 – Valencia claimed their second consecutive victory last weekend to keep up the pressure in their quest for a top four finish. They’re seven points ahead of fifth-placed Sevilla and so can afford hiccups along the way. Real Sociedad have blown hot and cold recently, winning two of their last three games, but lost four games in a row before that. This will produce plenty of goals, but Valencia should still edge it. Back the Home Win & Both Teams to Score at 17/10.

DOUBLE @ 7/2 Fairview Friday, February
23 – Race 1 No 1 Carlita (1-1) – Trained by Alan Greeff and ridden by Aldo Domeyer. The daughter of Oratorio ran a good second on SunMet day. The form has worked out well and she looks hard to beat.
Watford vs Everton (HOME WIN/DRAW & BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE) 13/10 – Watford are 11th in the Premier League but just four points away from the relegation places. Javi Gracia’s side lost 2-0 at West Ham last time and the Hornets will be happy to return to Vicarage Road, where they thumped Chelsea 4-1 at the start of the month.
Everton are ninth in the league, with Sam Allardyce having steered the Merseysiders eight points clear of the drop zone. The Toffees will be hoping to build on their 3-1 victory at home to Crystal Palace last time out, but they’ve lost their last four games on the road. Back Watford on the Win/ Draw & Both Teams to Score at 13/10.
