Pressure is on but Sundowns look a banker

The crazy set of football results moved to Spain this past weekend with Barcelona losing 1-2 away at Deportivo La Coruna and thirdplaced Sevilla drawing against relegation-threatened Leganes.

The featured midweek Soccer 6 Pool is today and there are some challenging matches. M1 Mamelodi Sundowns v

Polokwane City: Sundowns struggled in a 2-1 home-leg win of a CAF Champions League match against KCCA FC last weekend. They are having to play a midweek domestic fixture almost every week, which is sure to have a negative effect. They play a team that surprisingly lost its coach Luc Eymael, who has resigned and joined Bloemfontein Celtic. This is bound to affect City so make Sundowns a banker to win. M2 Sportfreunde Lotte v Borussia Dortmund: The German Bundesliga 3 team have beaten Werder Bremen and Bayer

Leverkusen en route to this quarter-final cup clash. Dortmund suffered a rare loss this weekend and have played a lot of football, so they may be a tad jaded. M3 Brentford v Wolves: Although Brentford might have the edge in this encounter, recent Championship results have indicated that nothing is certain so go all three results. M4 Fulham v Blackburn Rovers: Fulham’s recent form has been spectacular. Rovers are fighting to stay in the league, have improved with an unbeaten fivematch sequence in the league. Fulham to win, but would add the draw as a safety net. M5 Juventus v Porto: Juve take a 2-0 lead from the first leg of this Champions League to their home ground and should secure another win. M6 Leicester City v Sevilla: This promises to be a cracking tie with the Spaniards holding a slender

2-1 advantage from the first leg in Spain. Leicester have improved dramatically since the departure of Claudio Ranieri and must fancy their chances of advancing to the next stage of this competition.

Suggested R216 permutation for the Soccer 6 Pool on Tuesday 14 March S6 V 1 P 1 is: M 1=1; M 2= 2,3; M 3=1,2,3; M 4=1,2; M 5=1; M6 =1, 2, 3.

Today's Soccer 10 pool contains four of the Soccer 6 games. Stay with the Soccer 6 selections, except banker Fulham to win in M2. Other bankers are Sheffield United to travel to struggling Swindon Town and win in M8, and in M9 Fleetwood Town to overcome a competitive Walsall, away.

Suggested R432 perm for the Soccer 10 Pool on Tuesday S 10 V 3 is: M 1=1,2,3; M 2=1; M 3=1,2,3; M 4=1; M 5=1,2,3; M 6=2,3; M 7= 1,2; M 8=3; M 9=3; M 10=1,2. For all TAB’s soccer pools this week go to www.soccer6.co.za
