Saturday picks

My picks for today:
England:Bolton-W. Bromwich
Bolton had a great start and seem to be in good form while as Bromwich started the season with 2 defeats in 2 games and it sure looks like they're gonna struggle all season in order to avoid relegation.
Bolton is also much more experienced at this level and I see them getting a win tonight.
My pick: Bolton -0.5AH (1.98);

Hull City-Wigan
Hull is doing well so far and surely not many people expected them to get a positive result as they did last week.
Wigan has started the season in a horrible form with 2 defeats in 2 games.
Small clubs know that in order to stay clear of the relegation zone they must win this sort of home games and I see Hull getting a result today.
My pick: Hull PK;

Portugal:To say the least, this is more than a game in Portugal because of the high rivalry between the clubs.
In the last 10 years there was only a total of 14 goals in Benfica-Porto games played at "Estádio da Luz" meaning the games are usually tight ones (each team won 3 of those 10 games...) and decided "on details" (like last year an amazing play and goal by Ricardo Quaresma).
IMO Porto is weaker in defensive processes this season (IMO both right and left backs are no good for a team like Porto and they also need to find a defensive midfielder that fills in for Paulo Assunção, who left to join At. Madrid).
Quaresma will not play as he seems to be on his way to join Inter Milan and his replacement Mar... [More]
