Our advice for Wednesday's Champions League clash between Benfica and Celtic was quite clear and we hope you cleaned up by taking it.

We said: "The Parkhead side have never won away from home in the Champions League which gives us the confidence to take Betterbet.com's 8/11 on a Benfica win."

Saturday's Premiership match between Newcastle United and Sheffield United at St James Park provides an opportunity for us to make an even bigger killing when we go for one of our fancied long-shots.

The Geordies stayed a day over in Sicily after their terrific UEFA Cup result against Palermo but, with several injury worries, they must still be struggling to be at their peak for a game less than 48 hours later.

On top of that, Newcastle's home form has been unusually poor this season with just one win in five and that came back in August.

The Blades have been on the cusp of getting a win in the last few weeks and we think this could be the day their enthusiasm and effort are rewarded - so take Betterbet.com's 3/1 for the away win.
