WEEKEND SOCCER HIGHLIGHTS: 12 - 14 April
WHAT A WEEKEND WITH A R26-MILLION SOCCER 13! TAB’s popular Soccer 13 gives football fans another great opportunity to win a mountain of money this Saturday with a guaranteed R26-million pool! That’s mind-blowing cash and all you have to do to get your chance of collecting is to pick a number from one to three 13 times. There are also five cash-added pools tonight and tomorrow and all are loaded with quality matches. What a weekend! BANK ON BRENTFORD AND BRIGHTON IN THE EPL The first four matches in the mega Soccer 13 are English Premier League clashes and offer a couple of bankers. The rest of the games are from the English Championship, which is even more ferocious than usual as Leicester, Leeds and Ipswich slug it out for the two automatic promotion places to the EPL with nine other clubs still in the running for the playoffs and the remaining EPL slot. Brentford are too close to the relegation zone for comfort and long overdue to win after a sequence of four draws and five losses. Their home clash with Sheffield United gives them an ideal chance to break the drought, while Brighton should pack too many tricks for Burnley provided they don’t concede any stupid goals by overdoing De Zerbi’s passion for playing out from the back. And if you need to reduce the cost of your perm, it may pay to gamble on Notts winning at home. In the Championship games Southampton should win at home, as should Millwall who are home to Cardiff. Millwall are inevitably a handful in their own backyard as Leicester discovered midweek and this is another game they need to win to get further away from the spectre of relegation. West Bromwich and Coventry may also be worth gambling on to win. At home there are two Nedbank Cup quarter-finals this Saturday and both are competitive, although Pirates should only have to repeat their destruction of Arrows to put AmaZulu to the sword in Durban. Suggested R216 Soccer 13 for Saturday: 2,3 x 1 x 3 x 1 x 3 x 1,2,3 x 1,2,3 x 1 x 1 x 2,3 x 1,2,3 x 1 x 1. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS WEEKEND SHORT: Adams may play against SuperSport; Pirates striker likely to miss cup clash; Klopp hoping for return of key players; Salernitana’s problems mount; Villa may face Arsenal without couple of key players. * Key midfielder Jayden Adams, who went with Bafana Bafana to the Africa Cup of Nations finals, is struggling with an adductor injury. In order to hasten his recovery for tomorrow’s Nedbank Cup quarter-final against SuperSport, coach Steve Barker left him out of last weekend’s draw with Sekhukhune. * Orlando Pirates striker Evidence Makgopa’s thigh injury is taking longer than expected to heal and it is unlikely he will be risked in tomorrow’s Nedbank Cup tie at AmaZulu. His absence has been tempered by the arrival back from loan of Tshegofatso Mabasa, who netted a hat trick for the Buccaneers last weekend in a rampant 7-1 victory over Golden Arrows. * Liverpool are hoping goalkeeper Alisson Becker (thigh), defender Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) and midfielder Diogo Jota (knee) could make their comebacks from injury against Crystal Palace on Sunday. Joel Matip (knee), Ben Doak (knee), and Thiago Alcantara (muscle) are longer-term absentees, as is Stefan Bajcetic with a troublesome calf problem. * Relegation-threatened Salernitana go into tonight’s Serie A clash against Torino with a long list of injuries. Missing are Grigoris Kastanos (knee) and Federico Fazio (muscle), as well as Toma Basic and Guillermo Ochoa with unspecified injuries. Konstantinos Manolas (muscle) may start at centre-back with Jerome Boateng likely to stand in if the Greek defender is unavailable. * Clement Lenglet is doubtful for Aston Villa’s crunch game against Arsenal after he was ruled out against Lille yesterday. Matty Cash injured a hamstring on international duty with Poland and is working towards a return, although he is training individually.
