Liverpool have a decent record against Everton at Anfield and this is enough for me to side with the Reds on home soil.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Home win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>BARNSLEY vs SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY<\/h2>\n<p>The Owls have lost two in a row but I still fancy them to come out on top here. Barnsley are languishing in mid-table and Wednesday should be strong enough to get back to winning ways at Oakwell on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Away win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>HULL CITY vs WEST HAM UNITED<\/h2>\n<p>Slaven Bilic\u2019s men have lost three on the spin but the Hammers will be determined to stop the rot when they visit Hull this weekend. The Tigers have shown signs of improvement but they are inconsistent at best and I fancy West Ham to pick up the win.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Away win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>LEICESTER CITY vs STOKE CITY<\/h2>\n<p>Leicester are back. The defending Premier League champions have been sublime in recent weeks and it would take a brave man to back against the Foxes here. Stoke are a solid outfit but the hosts should prevail if they perform well.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Home win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>WATFORD vs SUNDERLAND<\/h2>\n<p>Both sides are struggling right now but home advantage could prove crucial. Watford are clear of the relegation battle at the moment and victory over lowly Sunderland will help their chances of steering clear of the bottom three.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Home win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>ASTON VILLA vs NORWICH CITY<\/h2>\n<p>It is difficult to back up-and-down Villa right now so I\u2019m going with a Norwich win or draw in what could be a tight-knit affair. The hosts have potential but they are very inconsistent and I\u2019m siding with the Canaries here.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Away win OR Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>IPSWICH TOWN vs BIRMINGHAM CITY<\/h2>\n<p>With seven draws in their last nine league games, it wouldn\u2019t be a huge surprise if Ipswich drop more points this weekend; although they could snatch a much-needed win. On paper, they should be strong enough for a weak Birmingham unit.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Home win OR Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs CARDIFF CITY<\/h2>\n<p>Three wins on the spin have helped to ease the pressure on Paul Lambert and Wolves will be keen to maintain momentum this weekend. Cardiff are no slouches but the Bluebirds may find winning at Molineux a step too far.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Home win OR Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/\u00a31600000-Pick-15-preview.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13655 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/\u00a31600000-Pick-15-preview-1024x870.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a31,600,000 Pick 15 betting coupon\" width=\"615\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/\u00a31600000-Pick-15-preview-1024x870.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/\u00a31600000-Pick-15-preview-300x255.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/\u00a31600000-Pick-15-preview-768x653.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/\u00a31600000-Pick-15-preview.jpg 1071w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>PRESTON NORTH END vs NOTTINGHAM FOREST<\/h2>\n<p>Never back against Preston at Deepdale, especially against a poor Forest side. I\u2019ve got a bad feeling that the hosts could drop points here but they shouldn\u2019t lose \u2013 the visitors have won just once in eight league games.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Home win OR Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>READING vs LEEDS UNITED<\/h2>\n<p>This is a toughie. Leeds and Reading are both in the playoff hunt but I\u2019m going to side with the visitors; Garry Monk\u2019s men have been incredible in recent months and it wouldn\u2019t be a huge surprise to see Leeds back in the Premier League next season.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Away win OR Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>EINTRACHT FRANKFURT vs BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH<\/h2>\n<p>Take your pick in this game; it is almost impossible to call. For me, I\u2019ve got to go down the middle with a draw. The Bundesliga is difficult to predict at the best of times so why not opt for both sides to avoid defeat?<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>TORINO vs UDINESE<\/h2>\n<p>Torino\u2019s home form this season has been solid and that is enough to tempt me to go with Joe Hart and co here. The visitors are poor on the road and I\u2019ll be backing Udinese to suffer another disappointing away defeat in this contest.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Home win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>SWANSEA CITY vs MIDDLESBROUGH<\/h2>\n<p>The hosts have raised their game since Paul Clement\u2019s arrival and another Welsh victory at the Liberty Stadium could be on the cards. Middlesbrough have struggled for form after a solid start and the form guide suggests to go with Swansea.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Home win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>ARSENAL vs MANCHESTER CITY<\/h2>\n<p>Away teams rarely win in the big games but such is the negativity surrounding Arsenal right now, I\u2019ve got to go with Manchester City. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/arsene-wenger-conundrum-complex\/\"  >Arsene Wenger<\/a> is under intense pressure and he appears to have lost the dressing room; go with the visitors on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Away win OR Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>CELTA VIGO vs LAS PALMAS<\/h2>\n<p>A nice way to end this week\u2019s pool. Celta Vigo are usually solid on home soil whilst Las Palmas struggle on the road. Simply put, the hosts are the team to back in this clash and hopefully we will be \u00a31.6 million richer come Sunday night!<\/p>\n<p>Selection: <strong>Home win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Join Now<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You can join Alex\u2019s Colossus Syndicate on the Pick 15 by searching for his Syndicate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/syndicates\/landing?utm_source=Social&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=p15almac0104landing\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To do so, simply <strong>search 686RCTHT <\/strong>as the reference code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>League football returns this weekend and Alex McMahon is here to look at fixtures from around the continent with his \u00a31,600,000 Pick 15 preview.\u00a0Search 686RCTHT\u00a0to join his syndicate: LIVERPOOL vs EVERTON Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side have lost just once in five league games and it may be sensible to stick with the hosts here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[643],"tags":[241,220,177],"class_list":["post-13651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sport","tag-alex-mcmahon","tag-pick-15-previews","tag-ticker"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.7 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u00a31,600,000 Pick 15 preview: 1st April for Colossus Bets<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Alex McMahon looks at this weekend&#039;s upcoming football including the Merseyside derby with his \u00a31,600,000 Pick 15 preview.
