Wigan vs Hull And Blackburn Live Odds & Picks
The 37th match day of Premier League concludes today where Wigan will host the game against Hull (13.30 GMT) while Arsenal will face Blackburn (15:00 GMT) on away fixture. For the first time this year Wigan can play without the relegation nightmare. The team will be in Premier League next year and the last two games are an excellent opportunity for the manager to try a couple new faces on the squad. The team is currently at 16th spot of Premiership standings with 35 points after 36 games. They hold a good home record with 6 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats while they managed to score 17 goals and conceded 22.
Hull, on the other hand, should be considered already relegated as the 18th spot with 28 points after 36 games do not offer any realistic chances to climb above relegation zone. The team holds a disappointing away record where they didn’t manage to secure any wins, just 5 draws and 13 defeats. They scored just 10 goals while they conceded 44.

Wigan Chairman Dave Whelan can Rain on Chelsea's parade
Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has promised that Chelsea will not stroll past the Latics on their way to the Premier League title this Sunday, and insists that Roberto Martinez's side have what it takes to spoil the Blues' title party "for the good of football everywhere".
• Wigan 2-2 Hull: Late equaliser relegates Tigers
Chelsea lead Manchester United by a point at the top of the table and with both sides facing seemingly straightforward fixtures on the final day of the season - Chelsea at home to Wigan and United at home to Stoke - it would appear that the title is destined to return to Stamford Bridge for the first time since 2006.
But Whelan, a friend of United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, insists that the outcome of the title race is by no means a foregone conclusion, and has promised that his Wigan side willl do their best to ruin Chelsea's day.
"We have beaten Chelsea once this season, plus Arsenal and Liverpool, so we know we are capable of giving any team a game on our day," Whelan said.

2010 Soccer - Real Madrid vs Osasuna Live Odds & Picks
Real Madrid vs Osasuna Live Odds & Picks @ Sportsbook
After demolishing Real Zaragoza 6-0 in their final league match of 2009, Real Madrid will look to start the new year on a winning note when they travel to Osasuna this weekend.
Osasuna have won only one of their last eight league games and were winless in December. Their last game, against Athletic Bilbao, ended in defeat for Los Rojillos. Bilbao scored twice in the first twelve minutes of the game, and Osasuna failed to recover from that early double blow. Jose Antonio Camacho’s side are only three points above the relegation zone at this stage of the season.
Real, as mentioned before, crushed Zaragoza 6-0. Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain was again on the score sheet, with two to his name. Dutch playmaker Rafael van der Vaart also scored a brace, while summer signings Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema netted in the second half. It was Real’s biggest win of the season and a fitting birthday present for Benzema. Brazilian superstar Kaka could make his return from injury this weekend.
