Archived tips :

Doncaster vs Leeds United
Shooter : This is such a tough one call as both teams are in great nick heading into the Wembley clash. Leeds have won 4 of their last 5 games and are under huge financial pressure to win, while Doncaster come in on the back of a 5-1 drubbing of Southend. They both beat each other 1-0 in the league so it'll be tight - I reckon 1-1 after 90 minutes.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The match that decides who goes up into the Championship, Leeds will probably start as narrow favourites given their form going into this game (10 wins in the last 15 games) and the fact their fans should outnumber Donny's by as much as four to one. But Rovers are one of the league's best sides and have a great presence up front in JJ Price - and this one could go the distance. 1-1 after 90 mins for me.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Bristol City vs Hull City
Shooter : Widely known as the most lucrative game in world football, with a £70m carrot dangling in front of both teams, this is the most unlikely play-off final in recent years. Hull's late charge means they have all the momentum, but surprise package Bristol City have a great track record against the Tigers (played 9, won 7, drawn 2) - and can play without fear. I reckon 2-1 to the Robins.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : The match billed as the £70million game, we are at least guaranteed one new name in the Premier League from next season. The Tigers go into the match in the better form, but I just have a sneaky feeling that Bristol City - with Lee Trundle capable of the unexpected - might just have the edge. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Queen of the South vs Rangers
Shooter : Rangers choked in the SPL title race and the UEFA Cup final to end hopes of a Quadruple, but if they beat Queens they'll still have won a cup double. The First Division team will be facing a shattered Gers outfit - but Smith's men will still have too much class. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : It's just as well for Rangers that they are facing Queen of the South in the Scottish showpiece, because an SPL opponent might just have done a job on Walter Smith's weary troops. However, I think Rangers should just about have enough to tame the battling Doonhamers. 1-0
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Republic of Ireland vs Serbia
Shooter : Serbia are no mugs these days, but United's Vidic is unlikely to play after his Moscow exploits - and the Republic squad will be busting a gut to impress new boss Giovanni Trapattoni, who has been there and got the t-shirt so will have them well-organised. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : Giovanni Trapattoni gets his Republic reign off in earnest with a pretty tough test against Serbia, a team ranked 10 places higher than Ireland at 31 in the FIFA world rankings. It might not be a sell-out, but expect a partizan crowd at Croke Park to cheer the Irish to victory. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Holland vs Ukraine
Shooter : Holland coach Marco van Basten will have star men van der Sar, Vennegoor of Hesselink, van Nistelrooy, Sneijder and Robben available in Rotterdam - and is likely to field a full-strength team. It'll be tight as Ukraine are a tough nut to crack, so I'll go for 1-1.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The warm-up games for Euro 2008 begin in earnest and it'll be interesting to see how the Dutch perform against Ukraine. But in Babel, Huntelaar, van Nistelrooy and Robben, you'd expect the hosts to have too much in the forwards department. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Croatia vs Moldova
Shooter : Croatia are the main reason why England aren't heading to Austria and Switzerland this summer, and Slaven Bilic's managerial prowess has attracted interest from the Premier League. He has some real class at his disposal like Pompey's Krancjar, so I'm going for 3-0.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Croats are a few people's tips to win Euro 2008 and it's no surprise if you saw the way they destroyed England twice in qualifying. Moldova should prove a nice, gentle warm-up for Slaven Bilic's side and I expect them to win at a canter. 3-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Hungary vs Greece
Shooter : Greece coach Otto Rehhagel has managed to retain the majority of the squad that conquered Europe in Portugal four years ago, and his star men like Stelios and Samaras should be be available. Greece beat Hungary 2-1 back in November, and I fancy a repeat scoreline. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : It's still strange to think of Greece as the reigning European champions, but that's exactly what they are and they are currently as high as eighth in the FIFA world rankings. Opponents Hungary, meanhile, are a disappointing 57th, so expect an away win here. 0-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Japan vs Ivory Coast
Shooter : Didier Drogba is the talisman for Ivory Coast but his head is going to be all over the place if he jets from Moscow to Japan on the back of seeing red in Chelsea's Champions League final defeat. Japan's football-mad home crowd will make the difference I reckon and cheer them on to victory. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Japan have slipped down as low as 37th in FIFA's rankings and it should not only be a clash of cultures, but also a clash of footballing styles when they meet Cote d'Ivoire. The deadly Didier Drogba is unlikely to see action for the Africans, but even without him I think they'll have too much in their lockers. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Switzerland vs Slovakia
Shooter : Joint hosts Switzerland's Euro 2008 plans have been hampered by injury problems in their squad - but they put five past San Marino last November and will be desperate for a victory to get some momentum ahead of the summer event. 1-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : As Euro 2008 hosts, the Swiss will be hoping to get their warm-up campaign off to a winning start against Slovakia - who at 66 are 18 places below them in the rankings. The Slovaks will place a lot of emphasis on youth and I think they could pinch a draw in this one. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Turkey vs Uruguay
Shooter : Turkey may struggle to keep their minds off the Eurovision Song contest, but they could be dark horses for Euro 2008 and come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Slovakia. Hakan Kadir Balta netted the only goal and is their dangerman - I reckon 1-0 again.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : This match is being played in the 'neutral' venue of Bochum, but with many Turks living in Germany, this will be as good as a home fixture. Only 3 places separate the teams in the rankings so I'm going to opt for a score draw. 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
