Archived tips :

Bolton vs Fulham
Shooter : It's too harsh to say the wheels are falling off for Fulham but they're having a wobble after losing to Blackburn in midweek - and are yet to win on the road this season. Bolton are very handy on home turf so this has to be three points for the Trotters. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : The Trotters might be as high as 11th right now, but they're still not safe from the drop and a -10 goal difference doesn't help their cause. But they've been in good form at home of late, having won their last three and they should make that four here. 1-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Everton vs Stoke City
Shooter : The only other Prem team yet to win on their travels arrive at Goodison Park and I can't see them leaving Merseyside having improved on that record. Beattie is banging the goals in but the Toffees are a tough nut to crack home and away. 2-1 for me
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Toffees have not lost at home since early December and go into this match boosted by their progress to the FA Cup semi-finals. Former favourite James Beattie is in great form for Stoke, and although he could continue his hot-streak, I fancy Everton to edge home. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Hull City vs Newcastle
Shooter : This is a massive relegation clash for two teams who know each other very well after several meetings this season. The Tigers stopped their rot with a win at Fulham, and the Toon may be boosted by Owen's return - but it'll be a cagey affair so I reckon 1-1.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : There won't be many bigger matches in the relegation shake-up than this one, and after their win at Fulham recently, Hull's survival bid is back on the road. But Newcastle have Smith, Viduka, Butt and Duff back for this one and I think that class should edge them to a vital win. 0-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Middlesbro' vs Portsmouth
Shooter : Pompey have been pretty poor away from Fratton Park this season, hence the fact they come into this game in the bottom three, but I just fancy them to pick up a 3rd away win here. Boro are in big trouble and The Riverside is hardly a cauldron of noise. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : Another huge relegation face-off at The Riverside and both sides know a defeat would be extremely hard to take. Neither of these sides have won many of late, so I think they'll cancel each other out in a pretty ugly game. 0-0
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Sunderland vs Wigan Ath
Shooter : Sunderland will see this game as a massive chance to put daylight between them and the relegation battlers, and Messrs Cisse and Jones should cause Latics plenty of headaches. Steve Bruce's troops don't travel that well, having lost 7 already this season. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : The Cats tend to draw an awful lot at home and they seem happy enough to do so when they remain clear of the bottom three. Wigan score very few, but are pretty tight at the back too - so expect few goals in this one. 0-0 or maybe 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Rangers vs Celtic
Shooter : Champions Celtic hold the edge in the SPL title race with a 3-point lead over their arch rivals, but Rangers will be looking to gain a psychological advantage with a win here in the CIS Cup. I fancy Walter Smith's men to do the business with a hard-fought 2-1 win.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : The two Old Firm rivals go head to head for the first cup of the season, but it is the blue half of Glasgow who have enjoyed better success in the cup competitions these days. Celtic looked a bit wobbly in losing to Rangers last week so I think Rangers might just edge this one. But only just. 1-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Chelsea vs Man City
Shooter : Both teams enjoyed success in Europe so turn their attentions back to league matters, where Chelsea's need for points is greater than Hughes' Light Blues. The hosts are resurgent under Hiddink but City seemed to have cured their travel sickness, and with SWP & Robinho looking to impress I think they can pick up a point. 0-0 or 1-1.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The 'Clash of the Cash' sees City's wannabees go head to head with the Chelsea boys, and much of the focus will again be on Robinho, who snubbed the Blues for the smell of City's money. He scored last time they met, but Chelsea's class told in the end and I don't expect them to have any trouble here. 3-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Arsenal vs Blackburn
Shooter : It's a return to the capital for Big Sam's Rovers after their midweek win at Fulham, while Arsenal continue the chase of Aston Villa after reigning in Rome. The Gunners seem to be getting it right as the season climax approaches, and I reckon it'll be 3-1.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Gunners appear to have hit form at just the right time as they try and prise that final Champions League spot away from Aston Villa. A home clash with Blackburn might not sound too tricky, but the Gunners have struggled to break defensive sides down this season and Rovers will try and do just that. However, I think they may leave it late and just bag a 1-0 win.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Bristol City vs Cardiff
Shooter : There's not much between these play-off-chasing rivals and they're both in pretty decent nick form-wise too. The Bluebirds have drawn 10 times on their travels already this season, with the Robins have been held 9 times at Ashton Gate, so I'm going for 2-2.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : Two sides in good form of late clash at Ashton Gate, and while the Robins have only suffered three losses at home this term, the Bluebirds have also only lost four on their travels. In fact, it's fair to say they are the away draw specialists of the division, so the smart money is on a score draw here. 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Doncaster vs Birmingham City
Shooter : Some might see this as an easy away win but don't be fooled, Doncaster have done brilliantly to achieve mid-table obscurity and will be looking to give McLeish the Blues here. Birmingham don't often lose on the road, but are getting jittery as the final bend approaches. I think it'll be 1-1.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : It wasn't long ago that Rovers were being considered nailed-on relegation no-hopers, but a remarkable turnaround in form means they are now upwardly mobile. In fact, a win here (against a Blues side who aren't really that great on the road of late) could see them making a late play-off surge and I think their confidence means they can stun their visitors. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
