Semi finals in the Coppa Italian bringing us a classic derby match as AC Milan welcomes Juventus for the first of this double leg tie.

AC Milan starting off with the home pitch advantage over their rivals and a chance to prove themselves as they are still trailing Juventus in the Serie A. The winner of this one will be the favorite for the trophy as in the other game Siena faces Napoli.

No victories for AC Milan in their last two matches played, a painful 2-0 loss against Lazio and a goalless draw with Napoli last week so their morale is not that high but the pressure of a decisive derby match should be enough to compensate.

Juventus will have to do with hosting the decisive game in this Coppa Italia semi-final and are more likely to play this one safe, relying more on their strong defensive.

They still remain the only undefeated team in Italy this season and that says enough about their morale although their recent goalless draw against Siena dampened their enthusiasm a bit.

My pick: Draw ( Under 2.5 goals )

Ligue 1 table positions: Marseille - 5, Lyon - 4

Derby match on Sunday in the French Ligue 1 as title chasers Marseille and Lyon go head to head in a bid to lessen the handicap from the leader.

Olympique Marseille has displayed a great form in past matches, managing an impressive 8 game winning streak that makes them favorites in the odds.

They are just one point bellow their current adversaries, Lyon, but no less than 9 separate them from current leaders and trophy favorites PSG.

Lyon is in fine form as well with no less than six victories in their last seven matches played but their defeat away to Montpellier two weeks ago had a great impact on their chances of catching up with PSG.

Already a victory to their name this week as they went past Lorient in the Coupe de La Ligue in extra time but it will be interesting to seen how Lyon will perform away once again especially with the pressure of this derby.

My pick: Marseille to win ( over 2.5 goals )

Serie A table positions: Juventus – 1, Siena – 17

Round 21 in the Italian Serie A and leaders Juventus are up against what at first glace seems to be an easy opponent, relegation threatened Siena.

Juventus is still leading the Serie A table with a total of 44 points, just one above Milan and three over third spot holders Udinese. A fragile lead for them no question about this but Juventus have one game less played than their main opposition and a victory against Siena could give them some breathing space.

A good form in latest matches for Juventus as the team managed no less than 5 victories in their last 6 matches played remaining the only undefeated team this season in the Serie A, a superb achievement so late in the competition.

Meanwhile Siena is struggling to get some distance from the relegation zone, they are currently on the 17th spot of the table and with a total of just 19 points, they sit just 3 points above the danger zone.

Two victories for Siena in their last 5 matches played, latest one in the Coppa Italia when they defeated Chievo by the slightest of margins, but this success was quickly overshadowed by their defeat against Fiorentina last week.

My pick: Juventus to win ( over 2.5 goals )

There are four live matches over this weekend from Saturday until Monday and all of the current top six in the Premiership will be in action on the live matches from Sky Sports and ESPN.

Saturday’s sole live action comes from ESPN and in this game we will see if Man City can recover from their loss against Everton with a win at home to Fulham. Man City may be going through a bit of a blip at the moment but they have won all eleven home games this season and look highly likely to record another win in this match against a team who has won just once on the road all season. The odds of 1/3 on City aren’t going to make anyone rich but it is worth including in any accumulators this weekend.

Both live games on Sunday are on Sky Sports 1 and the first of these fixtures is Newcastle v Aston Villa. Newcastle have been in great form despite the loss of Demba Ba to the African Cup of Nations, they have moved up to fifth place this week and should welcome back Ba plus new signing Papiss Demba Cisse for this match. Aston Villa have looked pretty poor all season and have won just three times on the road all season, Newcastle have more wins than that in their last six matches, and Newcastle look a value play at current odds of 11/10.

The second match in Sunday’s double header is probably the game of the weekend, Chelsea v Man Utd. United haven’t won at Stamford Bridge in the league for almost ten years and Chelsea have only lost once in eleven league games recently. Chelsea have struggled to win matches too though, five of their last eight have ended all square and with both teams looking unlikely to win the draw looks a really good bet in this match at odds of 23/10.

There is a great match to look forward to on Sky Sports 1 on Monday night too, Liverpool host Tottenham. Spurs won this reverse fixture 4-0 earlier in the season (the score could have been twice that) and also won 2-0 at Anfield last season. Spurs have improved since then and are eleven points above Liverpool this season so it is a big surprise that you can get 11/4 on Spurs, it was only a couple of weeks ago that they should have won at Man City and unless they massively under perform they should win this match at great odds.

Are these really the best bets from the week’s live Premiership action? Which game are you most looking forward to betting on?

We have reached the semi-finals stage on the Copa del Rey with the prime favorite Barcelona up against a though adversary as they travel to Valencia for the first leg of the tie.

Valencia sailed past Levante in the previous round of the Cpa del Rey, trashing their adversaries with the aggregate score of 7-1, after a 4-1 scoreline at home and a clear 0-3 victory away.

Their biggest name defeated so far in the competition has been Sevilla, which they just edged due to an away goal, but Barcelona is another matter. Not a great form for them in recent matches if we take out the cup as Valencia failed to win any of their past 4 games in the Primera Division but they still hold chances, especially in this home match.

Barcelona on the other hand, defeated their arch rivals in the previous round with an aggregate score 4-3 against Real Madrid and are now considered top favorites for the trophy.

Morale in the team is not that high after they conceded yet another blow in the league with a goalless draw against Villarreal so this will be a crucial match for them in terms of confidence.

My pick: Barcelona to win ( over 2.5 goals )
