Sunday Soccer

4-3 yesterday, the biggest disappointments being Sunderland and Indianapolis. The Both Teams To Score bet in the Malaga v Athletic Bilbao game came in - a goal in the 3rd minute of injury time from Bilbao's Javi Martinez. Here are today's tips, the NFL Wild Cards will be up later.

Spain
4:00pm
Racing Santander v Sporting Gijon
Definitely worth a look. Racing have won six of the last eight league meetings between these two clubs in Santander and Sporting haven't won an away game in La Liga since last February (sixteen games).


Mallorca v Almeria
Mallorca have a really superb home defence - six clean sheets in nine games - while Almeria have conceded in six of their nine aways and have scored in less than 50% of those matches. The hosts have won three of the last four league games against Almeria at whatever the Mallorca stadium is called this week...under 2.5 goals could also be worth a look.


Portugal
8:15pm
Uniao de Leiria v Benfica
Leaving the upset until last - Leiria have only lost once at home this season (to Sporting Lisbon) and haven't beaten Benfica at home in the league since February 2006, but they're available at such a big price that it would be daft not to at least consider them. Two of Benfica's three away defeats have come against top five clubs and Leiria are currently fourth. A safer alternative could be both teams to score.
