Kane injuries blew Tottenham?s title dream, claims Bilic
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic claims Tottenham would not be playing catch-up with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League had Harry Kane not been injured.Mauricio Pochettino's side have won their last nine top-flight matches in a row, but remain four points behind the leaders with only four matches remaining.Kane, who scored the second in Spurs' 2-0 derby win over Arsenal last weekend, has hit 21 goals in 26 league appearances this term despite missing two separate spells with ankle injuries.Spurs drew three matches in a row during Kane's first stint out in October and Bilic believes that run could have been the key factor behind Chelsea's advantage at the summit."I have nothing but praise for them [Tottenham]. When I watch them I wonder how Chelsea made that gap, but they had two periods without Harry Kane," said Bilic, whose side host Spurs on Friday."Spurs are in form, but they've been in form for two months. We are positive, four unbeaten and three clean sheets in four games."Yes, they are electric, with confidence, pace, passing and changing positions and everything, but our form also improved."Spurs are very versatile. Sometimes you know where the ball is going, but you can't stop it because of the quality."
. is still chasing top spot on two fronts...

West Ham are not yet mathematically safe and a defeat at London Stadium would leave them looking anxiously down the table before their last two matches against Liverpool and Burnley.Bilic's position at the club has come under scrutiny, but the former Besiktas boss insists he will not discuss his future or the transfer market in public until the end of the season."It's not the time to talk about my situation. It's the time to talk about the club. I'm very calm and focused on the game," he said."It's not the time to talk about transfers. We are talking about targets with the staff and the board, but not in public."

Sandefjord Vs. FK Haugesund
Confidence 7/10
The hosts come into this match on the back of a 0-2 win in Viking. Lars Bohinen’s side allowed their opponent possession, before hitting them hard on the counter attack. While their were very few chances in a boring game, it was Sandefjord who carved about the best opportunities.
Haugesund have won all four meetings between these two sides at this level. And, while the visitors could only draw last week in Sogndal (0-0), a look at the stats tells you it’s a freak result. Afterall, The west coast team had 27 -6 shots, and they also missed a penalty.
This looks a great opportunity for Haugesund to claim all three points - class wins!
Premier League
Man City Vs. Leicester City
Confidence 7/10
Sergio Aguero and John Stones are set to return when Manchester City face Leicester City on Saturday. The pair took part in full training on Thursday as they continue to recover from groin and abductor injuries respectively, having missed the 5-0 win over Crystal Palace last weekend. Pep Guardiola's side sit fourth, three points ahead of Arsenal and know only a win will suffice over the Foxes as they look to clinch the final Champions League spot.
Ilkay Gundogan remains a long-term absentee with a knee injury, while goalkeeper Claudio Bravo (calf) is also of Saturday's clash. Aguero (groin) and Stones (muscle) are both in contention to return to the starting XI.
Danny Drinkwater is unlikely to play again this season after picking up a thigh injury against Watford. Defenders Robert Huth (foot) and captain Wes Morgan (hamstring) will also be unavailable for the trip to the Etihad.
PREDICTION
This is the premier league, teams don’t just give in because they have nothing on. The Foxes should be taken seriou
Premier League
Bournemouth Vs. Burnley
Confidence 7/10
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe's plans for the final two games of the season have received a major boost with the return of Dan Gosling from injury. The 27-year-old has played just 44 minutes since the 0-0 draw with Southampton on April 1 following a calf injury and returns to buoy a Cherries side that could move into the top half of the Premier League table if results sway in their favour.
Michael Keane returns for Burnley after sitting out the 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion last weekend, and, barring an unlikely sequence of events in the final weeks of the season, Sean Dyche's side are safe from the drop. Along with the return of Gosling - whose injury ended his hopes of an ever-present season - Howe is also hoping to have Ryan Fraser (Achilles) at his disposal for the penultimate game of the season.
Adam Federici, Rhoys Wiggins and Callum Wilson (all knee) remain as the Cherries' long-term absentees, while Jack Wilshere (calf) has returned to parent club Arsenal to continue his rehabilitation and Benik

Fulham Vs. Reading
Confidence 7/10
Fulham will be without defenders Ragnar Sigurdsson and Michael Madl for the play-off semi-final first leg against Reading. Sigurdsson will miss out at Craven Cottage after suffering a calf problem and Madl is nursing an ankle injury. Boss Slavisa Jokanovic does not expect either player to be fit for the second leg on Tuesday, but they might be available at Wembley should Fulham reach the final. Jokanovic otherwise has a full-strength squad available.
Reading winger Garath McCleary is in contention despite missing the 4-2 win over Burton with a groin problem. Skipper Paul McShane (calf) and midfielder Joey van den Berg (hamstring) played 45 minutes each against Albion to prove their fitness.
Stephen Quinn is also close to returning after a knee problem and Deniss Rakels is back in training following a broken ankle. Winger Callum Harriott remains sidelined by a hamstring injury.
PREDICTION
When these two sides met at Craven Cottage earlier this season it was a very one-sided 5-0 to the hosts. Over the pas
Pro League
Zulte-Waregem Vs. KV Oostende
Confidence 7/10
Waregem won the Belgium cup final and with it qualified them for next seasons Europa league. Since that day on 18th march the Essevee played seven Jupiler league Championship league games without winning. In fact, the hosts are 0-2-5 during that time, and that leaves them on the bottom of the table with three matches left to play.
To be fair the hosts did give it a go in Anderlecht last weekend, but ultimately they failed to create anything worthwhile from 58% possession. We could also point to the stats of 9-1 shots on target in favour of their opponents. Prior to that they again had the most possession in Club Brugge (54%), but it was the hosts who won (2-1) and who created most chances with 7-3 shots on target.
Waregem are still without first choice goalkeeper Sammy Bossut and striker Babacar Guye. A new addition to the missing list is now suspended defender Henrik Dalsgaard. And, here’s the thing, maybe coach Francky Drury will be tempted to give some of his bench players a chance today. Afterall, wi
Atalanta Vs. AC Milan
Confidence 7/10
Back in march Atalanta lost a game 7-1 to Inter Milan, and that was without any dubious circumstances. At the time we thought their bubble had finally burst, but that hasn’t been the case. In fact, the hosts are unbeaten in seven matches since, and amongst them was draws against Juventus and AS Roma.
La Dea could only draw their last match in Udinese, but it wasn’t a bad effort and a point on the road isn’t a negative. In any case, the Goddess (La Dea) are a clear fifth in the league with six points in hand of todays rival AC Milan who are sixth. With just three matches remaining, a draw or better today should just about guarantee Gasperini’s side a place in the Europa league (groups) for next season.
Earlier on in the season these sides played out a draw (0-0) at the San Siro. The result was a fair one has the then hosts had most of the ball, but it was Atalanta who had slightly more (3-4) attempts on goal. However, that match was played on the road, and Atalanta are more renowned for playing at t
Superligaen
OB Odense Vs. Silkeborg IF
Confidence 7/10
Odense finished second in group one to Randers, while Silkeborg beat Aalborg in the last round to secure group two by goal difference. Now these sides will play a two way tie to decide which team will play in the final to qualify for next seasons Europa league.
Odense have been in really good form since the league returned (6-3-2), and amongst those wins was a 4-0 against Aalborg and a 3-0 against Esbjerg. Five of those six wins were at Ewii Park, so it’s clear to see that they are particularly hot in front of their home fans.
During the main season these two sides played out two draws, albeit with the one in this stadium being a somewhat miraculous 0-0. We say that because the hosts pulled the trigger no less than 21 times, and they also missed a penalty.
Silkeborg went 4-2-5 during the group stage, and they finished top courtesy of their starting point. Prior to last weeks win Peter Sorensen’s team struggled to just one point over their last three matches, so the coach will clearly be happy that hi
Super League
FC Sion Sitten Vs. FC Lugano
Confidence 7/10
Their are two Europa league places open, and only three teams can take those slots. Two of them will be playing this match at the Stade de Tourbillon. And, on that note third placed Sion have one point in hand of fourth placed Lugano.
Sion come into this match on the back of three straight losses, and four from their last five. It’s been an absolute disaster for the team of Sebastian Fournier, and things could be about to get worse. Afterall, their opponents Lugano looked like they would be fighting for survival at one stage of the season, but five wins and a draw from their last six games have changed things around.
In the last round the visitors forced a draw with league champions Basle, and they also won recent away matches at Luzern, Young Boys and Grasshoppers.
The other issue here is Sion have injury problems with several key players missing. Amongst them is Ziegler (8 goals) and playmaker Salatic!
We like the visitors!

Confidence 7/10
China Super league is becoming popular, and we are already sending bets out to paying subscribers. If you would like to obtain all our bets, then get in touch with us at info@. Please bare in mind that this match kicks off at 09.30 European time (08.30 UK), so if you want to get on make sure you do it early!
Liaoning managed just one win from their eight league matches to date, and four of those ended in draws. Last week the hosts drew in Tianjin Teda (1-1), albeit thanks to an own goal in the 91st minute. From what we had seen on the pitch, sharing the points was rough justice on their opponent. We say that because Liaoning hardly managed to get out of their own half, and they never looked like scoring.
It’s noticeable to us that the Northeast Tigers haven’t really strengthened their squad. And, on that note manager Ma Lin is utilising the same three foreigners has last season. We are referring to striker Anthony Ujah, midfielder James Chamanga and centre back Assani Lukimya. However
Bundesliga
Schalke 04 Vs. Hamburger SV
Confidence 8/10
Barring last week's defeat, Schalke have been playing well in the past two months, disposing of Leverkusen, Wolfsburg, and Augsburg all by three-goal margins. Despite having very little to play for in terms of league standing, they should be fired up for their final home game of the season.
Hamburg are desperately short of form, with three defeats in their previous four games including a drubbing against Augsburg in their last away fixture and a limp home loss to bottom club, Darmstadt.
Super League
Yanbian Vs. Beijing Guoan
Confidence 7/10
Beijing Guoan won the Chinese league in 2009, and since then they haven’t finished out of the top five (5-2-3-3-2-4-5). Jose Gonzalez is the man in charge from 2016, and he will be disappointed to find his team in sixth place. Afterall, the well funded visitors bought in the excellent Jonathan Soriano, and they still have the ultra sharp striker Yilmaz who joined last season . And, in that regard, the ex Galatasaray player has already banged home four goals in five games this season.
Yanbian won the Jia league in 2015, and last season they played out a solid ninth in the Super League. We should also mention that the Baekdu Tiger picked up 30 of their 37 points at the Yanji Stadium, and that made them the fifth best host. We could also mention they beat todays visitor in this stadium, albeit their opponent had both double the amount of goal attempts and shots on target.
However, coach Park Tae-Ha has a big issues ahead of today, because his team have dropped to second bottom in the league. And, while they

AaB Aalborg Vs. Randers FC
Confidence 7/10
Aalborg could have secured top spot in Group 2 if they had held Silkeborg in the last round. Instead, the then hosts put up a terrible performance and they deserved what they got (0-1). In fact, Morton Wieghorst’s side managed just three goal attempts and only one was on target. And, here is another fact that the hosts won’t like to be reminded of, they won just one from their last ten competitive matches. In short, since the group phase started AAB have seen a slump in their form, and they have even been struggling at Portland Park.
Randers might have lost their last game in Horsens, but circumstances were very different. Afterall, win, lose or draw Olafur Kristjansson’s team had already qualified has group winner, so they could easily afford to take things easy.
During the main season Randers did lose in Aalborg (2-1), but the result was clearly wrong from what we had witnessed. In fact, the hosts led that match 2-0 after just five minutes, and one of them was an own goal. Randers pulled one back o

Viborg FF Vs. AC Horsens
Confidence 7/10
Earlier on during the main season Horsens visited the Energi Arena has undergoes but still went away with a 2-4 win. However, it was the Greens who got their revenge in the reverse fixture, and since resuming in February Viborg played out a decent 4-4-3.
Horsens won two of their last ten games, albeit the recent 2-1 over Randers didn’t count for much. Afterall, that team had already qualified has group winner for the Europa league play-off stage, and they played with a weakened team.
The other thing that interests us today is team news. While the hosts now have Soren Frederiksen suspended, only Christian Sivebaek and Oliver Tychosen are other players missing. Horsens on the other hand are without the newly injured forward Andre Bjerregaard. Skipper Matthias Nielsen remains sidelined, and key player Peter Nymann is also out for the second game in succession. To put things in more perspective, the hosts are without players who started 53 games between them while Horsens add up to 84!

Athletic FC United Vs. IFK Norrk?ping
Confidence 7/10
We are already seven games into the Swedish league season, and Eskilstuna have just three points on the table. That leaves the newly promoted team bottom of the league, and now they get to face last seasons third placed Norrkoping without the services of newly suspended Ludwig Ohman. In fact, the hosts are also without Thomas Ulimwengu and Chidi Omeje in what appears a lean squad.
Norrkoping were a tad disappointing in their last match against Sundsvall, because they couldn’t convert dominance into goals. Nevertheless, the hosts remain unbeaten in four (2-2-0), and the 2015 champions have a squad to be competitive again this season. That’s good so has Jens Gustafsson’s side are without six players ahead of tonight, namely Linus Wahlqvist (foot), Henrik Castegren (cruciate ligament), Andreas Blomqvist (cruciate ligament), Marwan Bazi (cruciate ligament), David Mitov Nilsson (hand), Simon Skrabb (foot).
PREDICTION
The hosts will sit deep and try and defend against the sharp shooters of Norrkoping, and

Aalesunds FK Vs. Valerenga IF
Confidence 7/10
Last season has big dogs Aalesund went to Valerenga and came back with a 0-1 win. The reverse match in this stadium ended in a draw, and on that occasion it was the visitors shoe were favourite. We should also mention that it’s proven extremely profitable to bet Aalesund in this match up over the past five years, because the hosts have beaten Valerenga six times, drawn twice and lost twice.
In the last round the hosts won the local derby against Molde, that took them to six competitive games without defeat. Striker Mos Abdellaoue’s scored the winner to take him to seven for the season. What’s been noticeable in recent matches is how the strikers pairing with
Lars Veldwijk is beginning to gel, and they will be hoping to torment the visitors defenders this evening.
Valerenga could only draw with Stabaek in the last round, and the fact is they only won one of their last six league matches. In fact, the visitors have already been defeated four times, and initial impressions are they will struggle to rea
