There's only three selections!!

Only three of Saturdays 7 picks collected and fortunately, yesterday I was too hungover to post my picks on here.
Three footy matches tonight with a doozy over in Serie A, as table toppers Milan face rival title challengers, Napoli, who currently sit third behind resurgent Inter.
Nine recent meetings between these two sides at the San Siro have resulted in 5 home wins and 4 draws. The 6 game form table shows Napoli have picked up 1 point more than Milan and their goal difference is equal on +9. Further scrutiny of the form table and you see Milan's last 3 homes have yielded 7 points, 6 goals for and zero against, and this is what leads me to fall on the side of Milan for this fixture.
Tonights Premier League encounter comes from the Britannia Stadium for Stoke City v West Brom and as an Albion follower I'm refusing the absolute gimme of Stoke taking all 3 points. Stoke have won 7 of their last 8 meetings with WBA, home and away, Albions sit bottom of the 6 match form table with just 3 points, while Stoke are 3-0 at home scoring 7 and conceding just 2 in the same table. The pick in this game for me is both teams to score. Over the course of the season so far Albion are behind only Blackpool in averaging the most goals per game, I can actually see West Brom scoring but Stoke are regular scorers at home, even against the best sides, forced to pick a score I'd plump for 2-1 to the Potters.
Finally the bottom of the table clash in La Liga Primera, where once again I'm looking for over 2.5 goals.
Only one game between this pair has ever finished 0-0 in a Copa Del Rey game back in 06 and of the other 8 contsets just two 1-0's. Malaga currently average 3.38 goals per game with Almeria weighing in at 2.67. This may start out as a tight affair but an early goal, ideally from Almeria will see plenty of forward action, overall I see Malaga taking the 3 points tonight.
