Rapids did us a big favour with that 5-1 demolition of Seattle Sounders on Saturday, ahead of which I wrote ..."You know that I am a Seattle "fan" and have tipped them up as likely Supporters Shield winners for many weeks and I have been on the money there, but I feel they might lose this evening. They have two games in hand of many teams and they might just be more focused on two big West Coast match ups over the next seven days against Vancouver and Portland.

I like Galaxy with the draw no bet option, in a match where both teams are struggling for form. However, the hosts full from grace has been far more emphatic, they have not scored a single goal in six starts ( five MLS), or won in nine league outings, top of the Western Conference after 11 matches (7-3-1), they are outside the playoff places after the next 11 (1-5-5).

Sporting did us a favour last week, finding a last gasp winner at Real Salt Lake, ahead of which I wrote ... Sporting have lost centre back Matt Besler (15-0-1) who was called up to the US squad this week and they have lost 2 of the last 3 he has sat out and I would argue he is their most important defender and possibly, overall player. They do get Mechack Jerome and Peterson Joseph back from Gold Cup duty which gives them more options.

I "only" went with four selections in the end today, ( one is reproduced below) ,but did stick with two "very strong" 1.75 unit selections. Everyone in the clubgowi database was sent two previews on Wednesday, which both won at odds of circa 2.05 and 2.30 +. There are 30 free newletters still up for grabs ( up to July 1st), email me at gowi8@btinternet.com for details.

Below is a copy of today's newsletter, which was sent to subscribers in two emails, the first this morning and the other at lunchtime, the only part I have removed relates to some prop bets on the Superbowl. Juventus have already won by that single goal (3.70) and Tottenham (2.14)  won 1-0, so a solid start to the day.

Massive couple of weeks on the horizon and there has never been a better time to subscribe to the clubgowi daily newsletter service. There will be two emails on each of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, where we will be covering a wide range of events including football  ( our bread and butter ) , golf and NFL .
