The Fight against Relegation

A week before the end of the season, we have only one team who ensured their place in the League Championship next year… After a very bad spell, West Bromwich woke up and tried to complete an unlikely survival quest, but their two wins and two losses from their last 4 fixtures were too little, too late.
So, who are the rest of the relegation candidates?
Let's start with Sunderland, which are most likely to stay up. Inspecting next week's odds brings up that the odds for Sunderland to get relegated are approximately 1-14. Sunderland will be relegated if they’ll lose and both Hull and Newcastle win their matches. Highly unlikely…
On the other end of the scale there is Middlesbrough, who will need a miracle to survive. Boro travel to Upton Park, to play 9th place West Ham. True, West Ham have nothing to play for but considering Gareth Southgate’s lads inability to win (or to score) makes one realize that Middlesborough will play Championship football next season.
So we are left with Newcastle United and Hull.

The Magpies play Aston Villa away from home, knowing that a draw might be enough, if Hull will lose at home to already-champions Manchester United. Newcastle’s win against Middlesbrough gave them some hope but their home defeat to Fulham sent them back to the relegation zone. Lucky for them, they have a superior goal difference over Hull, so they have to prey Manchester United will do a professional job at the KC Stadium.
In normal times, we could see no way for Hull to come out with anything from their match with United, but since United have already been crowned as League Champions they will most probably field a weakened team, to try and avoid injuries before the Champions League final. This opens a window of opportunity for Hull, as they know that a win will cement their place in the Premiership.
My predictions are that Hull will end their match in a draw, Newcastle will win against Aston Villa and Middlesbrough….well….it doesn't really matter.
Bye bye Hull and Middlesbrough.

The road to Rome

Arsenal and Manchester United face each other tonight in an all-English encounter to decide who will get a shot at the Champions League final in Rome. Indeed, Man Utd are a much better side and they have proved it throughout this season, but both they and Arsenal know that anything is possible when all lies on one match. Still, Arsenal won’t be too happy to hear that despite all that, BetUknow members are divided between a draw and a Man Utd win.
Now let’s get to the fun part: the clash of the giants between Chelsea and Barcelona. The first leg ended in a boring 0-0 draw, as Chelsea practically pared the bus in front of their goal. Barcelona just couldn’t find a way through. Still, their amazing 6-2 win over arch rivals Real Madrid in The super Classico, will probably give them a much needed confidence boost, as once again – Barca feel as the clear favorites. Their only problem is the fact that their starting half-backs can’t play, due to injuries or suspensions. It is hard to imagine the young Fernando Cáceres holding Drogba off for an entire match.
Most of BetUknow community goes with Barcelona, but if you'll ask the community experts, they'll tell you that Chelsea will win. Place your fantasy bets in order to determine the winner - BetUknow
