Really Close.....

Really close to collecting last night 2 out of 3 and the third was just a goal shy of collecting! I'd even changed my mind twice on the losing selection, once from overs to both to score and then back again, believe it or not.
Lots of footy action tonight and not much else going on sports wise.
I'll open up with the cardinal sin of football betting, odds on away from home.
I hear you, a fool and his money and all that, but Southampton away at struggling Walsall, surely has the looks of a decent odds compiler?
Their two meetings last season both went the way of the Saints, to an aggregate score of 8-2. Saints haven't lost a game since going out of the F.A Cup to Man United.
Walsall have shown improvement of late, since the previous manager left but their record so far this season against teams in the top half of League One is not great.
Secondly, Exeter City v Tranmere Rovers to go over 2.5 goals.
Last seasons two meetings both went over 2.5 goals, 2-1 and 3-1. Exeter currently sit 3rd in the overs/unders table with an average of 3.16 per game with Tranmere at 2.65 p.g. The Imps last 5 home games have all gone over and Tranmere's last 3 aways have all gone over.
Finally, over to Primera Liga in Spain for Espanyol v Mallorca.
Espanyol's home form is what has seen them remain firmly in the top 6 so far this season, recent defeats to two teams above them forgiven, Saturday night they beat Sociedad 4-1 and the home game prior to home defeats by Villareal(3rd) and Real Madrid(2nd), saw them beat Zaragoza 4-0. Mallorca have not won an away game in 7 attempts with just one draw managed of those 7 games. The head to head table shows, of the 13 games between these two played at the Cornella El Prat, Espanyol have won 9 drawn 2 and lost 2.
