WON +5.25

Match: Arsenal vs Fenerbahce
Pick: Fenerbahce +1.5 Asian Handicap
Odds: 2.05 (Betfair)
Stake: 5 units

This looks like a cracking bet to me, although with my current form punters might want to stay well clear of my picks. Arsenal are playing poorly, and will not have Walcott, Adebayor, or Gallas for this game. Considering the first two are instrumental in attack and the latter in defence, Arsenal look ripe for the picking.

Fenerbahce haven't had the best of form so far, having lost 5-2 to Arsenal at home and drawing 2-2 in their last domestic game. Both teams look like they have shaky defences, and initial thoughts was for over 2.5 goals, but that line has been set at about 1.55 which is way too low for me to consider.
