BETTING: Tips for midweek 1st - 3rd Feb 2011

ENGLAND
Bournemouth beat Swindon at 1.78 (2 pts)
The departure of Eddie Howe doesn't seem to have affected Bournemouth as badly as expected.  Since he left for Burnley, Bournemouth have won 2 and drawn 1, including a win over league leaders Brighton.  They've also won 10 of 13 at home this season.
Swindon have only picked up 2 pts from the last 15, scoring only once in those 5 games.  They have also lost star player and leading scorer Charlie Austin to Burnley during the window.

Chesterfield win at Stockport at 1.67 (2 pts)
Stockport are without a win in 7, and without a home win since mid-October.  They seem doomed to relegation to the conference and are generally rubbish.
Chesterfield are top of the league and are unbeaten in 8, with the 3rd best away record in the division.  As such, 1.67 looks decent value.

ITALY
Fiorentina v Genoa to have < 2.5 goals at 1.70 (2 pts)
Genoa have drawn 3 of their last 4 away games 0-0 and 7 of their 10 away games this season have had only 1 goal or less.

Lay Catania @ Cesena at 3.35 (2 pts)
Whilst Cesena are 3rd from bottom and hardly setting the world alight, they've lost less than half their home games this season.  The real motive for this bet is Catania's shocklingly bad away record.  3 away wins in the past 2.5 seasons (and only 6 away goals in 10 games this season) says it all.
