Manchester City -½ +125 +120 2½ O -135 U +115 1½ O -105 U -125 Draw +230

Tottenham Hotspur +½ -145 +225 2½ O -135 U +115 1 O -120 U -110 Draw +230

Match Time: 10:00 AM Eastern Time Sunday November 9, 2008

Venue: City of Manchester Stadium

Soccer Betting Analysis: Tottenham Hotspurs (+225) travel to Manchester City this weekend for their Premiership fixture. The Spurs come in as the underdogs but they have been rejuvenated recently by a run of good form. They have a quality squad and they showed it last weekend against Liverpool when they beat them 2:1 at home and then carried the momentum in to UEFA Cup action beating Dinamo Zagreb convincingly 4:0. Prior to beating Liverpool, they also produced a satisfactory performance against Arsenal and Bolton, drawing 4:4 and winning 2:0 respectively.

Manchester City +120 enjoyed a satisfactory performance in UEFA Cup action this week as well when they held of FC Twente to a 3:2 score. The victory comes at a good time for them as they had been struggling in Premiership action, suffering back-to-back losses to Mbrough 2:0 and Bolton 2:0.

Soccer Betting Verdict: There is a lot at stake for Manchester City in this match. They have to beat the Spurs if they want to remain at the top part of the table, otherwise it is relegation to the undesirable zone in the table for them. The Spurs though have been looking really good lately and with some big scalps, they could prove to be too much for the struggling Man City.

Soccer Betting Line:

Fulham FC pk -140 +120 2½ O +105 U -125 1 O -150 U +120 Draw +230

Newcastle United pk +120 +220 2½ O +105 U -125 1 O -120 U -110 Draw +230

Match Time: 11:00 AM Eastern Time Saturday November 8, 2008

Venue: Craven Cottage

Soccer Betting Analysis: Fulham FC sits in the bottom part of the table but only a point away from Newcastle United. A triumph here would propel them above 14th ranked Newcastle from their spot in 16th place. Currently, they are just outside of the relegation zone so they need this win to return to semi-good standing. Should they lose they may find themselves fighting for survival in Premier League.

Newcastle United +220 has recovered well after some early season doldrums. They beat Aston Villa on Monday 2:0 this week and just prior beat WBA 2:1. Their back-to-back victories came at home though. On the away, they have lost three of their last five matches, drawing the other two. They have to improve on the away if they want to continue their push in to the top part of the table.

Soccer Betting Verdict: This should be a derby of a match. Fulham has no option but to go for the win. Nothing less will do for their Premiership campaign. A slightly desperate air is about this club. On the other hand, Newcastle is on a bit of a winning streak and the confidence these wins gives them could help them carry the momentum on the road. Both sides have great attacking lines and this should be a high-scoring match as both teams battle for the win.
