Betting Tip Previews:Our first selection (Draw no bet - AC Milan) has a good level of safety as the draw is covered. AC Milan are a good side and very difficult to beat at home, however i wouldn't call them ultra reliable for collecting 3 points so they are a team where i like to cover the draw. They have been in good form recently, winning 4 of their last 6 league games, and losing only 1 of those, which was against Juventus and required a last minute penalty. So if Juventus are finding is tough to beat them at Juventus Stadium, then most teams are going to find it tough at the San Siro, and fortunately today's opponents (Genoa) are not particularly strong on their travels. Genoa have won just 3 of their away games this season, yet have lost 9, and this is due to problems at both ends. They don't score enough goals, with 12 scored in 14 away games, and they concede too many, with 28 conceded away from home. This all bodes well for an in-form AC Milan side who although will be missing their top scorer Bacca through suspension, they should still have plenty of quality to avoid defeat in this game.
Our second selection (Asian handicap -1 Dundalk) are the current Champions of the Ireland Premier League, having won the league the last three consecutive years. They began this season in usual form, winning their first three league matches, conceding only 1 goal in the process. However, in their last match they were surprisingly beaten 3-1 away to Derry City, so they will definitely be looking to get straight back into the winning habit today. Their opponents today (St Patricks) have been on a gradual decline since winning the Premier League title back in 2013, and this season they have got off to an awful start, with 1 draw and 3 losses from their first 4 games, even losing on their home ground by Finn Harps, who aren't one of the best away sides. In terms of head2head records, Dundalk haven't lost to St Patricks at Oriel Park since 2012, and have won 4 of the 5 home league encounters since then. On paper this should be a fairly straight forward 3 points for Dundalk today.
