WEEKEND SOCCER HIGHLIGHTS: 6 - 8 DECEMBER

CHANCES APLENTY FOR BIG WINS IN 7 CASH-BOOSTED POOLS TAB soccer customers have a range of fabulous chances to win big cash this weekend with seven cash-boosted pools and a guaranteed R16.5-million Soccer 13 pool if there’s only one all-13-correct winner. The added-cash action kicks off tonight with a R200,000-added Soccer 10 (expect a mega R2-million total pool) and a Soccer 4 with a R25,000 TAB bonus. HIGH-FLYING CHELSEA ON TRACK FOR THIRD WIN IN 8 DAYS Inter Milan and Atalanta look banker bets to win at home in Serie A in tonight’s Soccer 10 and it will be a major shock if PSG fail to beat Auxerre away in a French Ligue 1 encounter. Tomorrow’s R200,000-added Soccer 10 contains a batch of matches that are real brainteasers, but back-to-form Aston Villa should win at home against Southampton, who are headed straight back to the Championship, and LaLiga log-leaders Barcelona should have too much firepower in an away clash with Real Betis. Manchester City looked a whole lot better midweek with Kevin de Bruyne back in the starting line-up, beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 at home. On Saturday, they travel to London to face Crystal Palace and their fans will be hoping to see Pep Guardiola’s men build on their last win. The London clash between Spurs and Chelsea will be the highlight of Sunday’s action and you will find the match in TAB soccer pools like Soccer 6 and 10, as well as this weekend’s R250,000 carryover Soccer Any 13 Xtra. Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca keeps denying that his side are in the English Premier League title race, but fact is they are now disputing second place with Arsenal seven points behind leaders Liverpool. Maresca is dealing with Chelsea's bloated squad, mostly by fielding very different teams in the EPL and Europa Conference League. This has resulted in a squad in which most players get some sort of opportunity and legs can be kept relatively fresh. Chelsea will be looking for a third EPL win in eight days at Spurs on Sunday. Their inconsistent hosts are always dangerous opponents and can be devastating when they are on song, but Chelsea are gathering confidence daily and should be able to handle anything Spurs can throw at them.
