Re: Brazil » Série B (7 oct) Willian Hauptman's 5 goals this season have come against Campinense (2), America RN (2) and ABC (1) so maybe he won't be such a big miss after all :rollin

Re: Brazil » Série B (7 oct)
You sure mate' date=' were did you find that out? On official website it states he is part of the squad.[/quote'] It's true, Villa Nova will be missing Willian Hauptman, Jeferson and Alisson while Bragantino are without Kadu and Robson but are boosted by the return of Carlinhos. -
Re: Question for the Brazilian League experts If you think that home advantage is king in Brazil, take a look at last seasons table in Bosnia-Herzegovina Premier Liga, now thats what you call home advantage: :rollin http://soccerway.com/national/bosniaherzegovina/first/2007-2008/

Re: Polish Cup Tue/Wed 15-16/4
How seriously are Wisla taking this match. Will they see this as an opportunity to thrash Legia's reserves by playing a strong team or will they follow suit and rest players themselves making this a Wisla Reserves vs Legia Reserves match.Those teams aren's suspicious yet, and Wisla is fighting for three trophies in Poland. Legia will play weakness. 17:30 Wisła Kraków 1.60 X 3.50 Legia Warszawa 4.50 Legia without most key players: Mucha, Radovic, Vukovic, Astiz, Szala, Chinyama, Giza, Roger and Edson. 18 for that match: GK Gostomski, Skaba Def Augustyn, Balbino, Bronowicki, Choto, Kiełbowicz, Wawrzyniak, Wysocki Mid Borysiuk, Frączczak, Ekwueme, Rybus, Sebastian Szałachowski Forward Grzelak, Korzym, Majkowski, Trochim Wisla without: Glowacki, Lobodzinski, Dudka 18 for that match: GK Juszczyk, Pawelek Def Baszczynski, Cleber, Diaz, Kokoszka, Kowalski Mid Piotr Brozek, Cantoro, Jirsak, Maczynski, Sobolewski, Zienczuk Forward Pawel Brozek, Boguski, Dudu, Matusiak, Niedzielan -
Re: Hungary 17.3.2008 MTK-Diosgyor
I'm still not convinced that the result was 'fixed' but seeing the suggestion of a fixed match put enough doubt in my mind to stop me placing a bet on MTK so I'm certainly thankful for that :clapHmmm, 1-1 FT ....Fix Or Surprise it saved me money. Good job KurtFurtustahl :clap :clap :clap -
Re: Hungary 17.3.2008 MTK-Diosgyor
MTK Budapest are top of the Hungarian 1st division with 12 games to play, level on points with Debrecen and Honved and just one point ahead of 4th placed Gyori. With MTK being in such a strong position for the Championship and Champions League Qualification, what posible reason would they have to throw a home game risking relegation if they were to be found out. Absolute rubbish as far as I'm concerned :spanki have heard some rumours about mtk sold this one ...it has been already blocked in austria, czech republic and hungarian bookies as well.... the prices are

Re: Turkish Cup 27-28 feb
Thanks for that Shef. Do you know what the confirmed starting line ups are or have a link where I can find out?.yes mate' date=' you are right.. kayseri is very good form but this is an cup match and oftaş is unknown team.. they will play not to concede goal.. as me best choise [b']under 2.5.. 1.75.. -
Re: Turkish Cup 27-28 feb
Why "No Bet" Shef?. Surely at this stage of the cup competition Kayserispor will play with a full strength team. Checked there team from the 0-0 away leg and it seemed pretty much there full line up. With the form that Kayserispor are in, surely a home win is worth a go.kayseri-oftaş no bet.. -
Re: Turkish Super Ligi 15-17/2
Unlucky CHUNK' date='GS missed 2 times huge in a minute[/quote'] :D, still havent back Galatasaray yet. Thought I'd let the 1st half ride and see how the conditions affected the match. Galatasaray has just hit evens so now is the time for me to go in I think. Good luck all :ok. -
Re: Turkish Super Ligi 15-17/2
Oh well, Konyaspor won't enjoy these conditions anymore than Galatasaray then :lol.BTW Radio commentator just noticed that endmost 82 years ago such a snowing has been recorded in Konya lmao -
Re: Turkish Super Ligi 15-17/2
You could be right, not the sort of weather I would expect to see in Turkey :lol. Anyway, is that a strong starting 11 for Galatasaray without Nonda (1 up front???). Can't make my mind up wether to back Galatasaray or not :unsure.CHUNK;Imo after seeing the situation of stadium actually how is it looking,they thought it is in another country or East part of Turkey becoz they used to see here as always with sunshine and hot weather:spank But they got shocked after seeing Konya city like that
:rollin:rollin
Anyway lineups declared right now.U can see 'em by under the link

Re: Turkish Super Ligi 15-17/2 :ok
Thanks for that Shef. I'd just like to say that I think you do a great job with your previews on the Turkish League :clap. I always check on The Punter's Lounge for your opinion when I'm going to place a bet on the Turkish Super League as it's always good to have an expert opinion from someone in Turkey. Keep up the good work :ok.it is not true mate.. match will be played konya is own field.. -
Re: Turkish Super Ligi 15-17/2
:welcome TO The Punter's Lounge AltayIzmir!. Great to have another opinion on Turkish football on The Punter's Lounge to back up all of the excellent work that Shef does. Really appreciate your opinion. May have a small bet on Galatasaray and may also take overs as the snow and ice may lead to mistakes and a few goals. Thanks again and hope you become a regular on here :ok. One last thing, to Shef or AltayIzmir, Bet365 are still saying that the game is being played at a "Neutral Venue". Is this true?.Ola CHUNK' date=just saw ur message and registered myself to reply it. ;) Yes it is postponed to today deu to bad weather conditions and the situation still same in Konya imo.Maybe not so drastic snowing but i am sure freezing cold .But i feel something positive towards Gala here. They have a tight conversation since yesterday with Federation here and obviously Gala are rgiht here.Becoz the team have imporant match this thursday at Leverkusen and it is really important for country points actually.Maybe a positive result will go Turkey up one more step above and it means that we will have a few more teams in Eurocup. Anyway normally this shouldnt be played.it should be posptponed due to reasons above.But if will be played,then that means Gala also want to play this.Again young players will try to imporove their levels and that shall help visitors just like last weeks. 1.80 in stanjames not bad price for taking.OFC i wont handle it but value indeed.UNDER also reasonable option here. -
Re: Turkish Super Ligi 15-17/2
Is that 11:00AM Uk time as shown on Bet365?. I'd be interested in your thoughts on this game Shef. It says on Bet365 that this game is being played at a "Neutral Venue" which, if that is true would surely be good for bets on Galatasaray. My only worry is, how seriously will Galatasaray take this game now that it is so close to the away UEFA Cup game with Bayer Leverkusen (e.g. Will they now rest players and play a weakened team).konya -gala match will be played today.. at 13.00.. -
Re: Czech Republic - Gambrinus Liga (Nov 18-20)
Most lost there last home game 1-3 to poor Kladno! which was there 1st away win of the season. Surely Sparta Prague can do what Kladno did?.Most are on form at home and are scoring goals but I think the unders and a 0-0 or 0-1 scoreline are fair bets here! good luck all! -

Re: Brazil Serie A
VS
FIGUEIRENSE vs JUVENTUDE
MATCH BACKGROUND:
10th placed Figueriense take on 13th placed Juventude at Estádio Orlando Scarpelli with both teams hoping to build on impressive last round wins. Figueirense shocked title chasing Gremio 2-1 away whilst Juventude took care of another title contender Santos 3-2 at home. Both these results ended recent bad form for the two clubs and both will now come into this match expecting a positive result. Copa Sudamerica qualification is the best that Juventude can hope for but Figueirense still hold out hopes grabbing one of the places for the Copa Libertadores.
RECENT FORM (last 6 matches)
P W D L F A PTS
Figueirense Home 6 3 1 2 6 6 10 Juventude Away 6 0 0 6 2 14 0 TEAM NEWS:
Juventude come into the match without Captain and central defender Antônio Carlos and striker Christian (scored in last match against Santos) who are both suspended. Leandrinho and Bruno are likely to take there places. Midfielder Lauro returns from suspension.
Figueirense are without the suspended Edson (defender) and midfielder Marquinhos Paraná. Márcio Goiano and Fernandes are brought in to replace them.
Likely starting line ups:
FIGUEIRENSE
GOALKEEPER = Andrey, DEFENCE = Flávio, Chicão, Tiago Prado, Márcio Goiano, MIDFIELD = Rodrigo Souto, Carlos Alberto, Cícero, Fernandes, ATTACK = Soares, Schwenck.
JUVENTUDE
GOALKEEPER = André, DEFENCE = Rafael, Fabrício, Igor, MIDFIELD = Wellington, Renan, Lauro, Alexandre, Márcio Azevedo, ATTACK = Bruno, Leandrinho.
Conclusion
This would usually be a tough match to call after both teams impressive last results as morale is bound to be high. However, you simply cant look past Juventude's awful away record. With 6 away defeats in a row and only 7 points gained away from a possible 48 all season then you see just how bad Juventude are on the road. Figueirense on the other hand have only 3 home defeats all season. Figueirense are also now pushing hard for that remaining Copa Libertadores place which should hopefully provide the determination that they need to win. Straight home win for me, just cant see Juventude coping with Soares and Cicero, especially without there Captain to hold the defence together. Good luck all :hope .
My Bet: Figueirense (Home Win) 1.76 Betfair 6/10

Re: Brazil Serie A
Thanks for that godmato :ok , bit of a disaster last night. Sao Paulo only drew 1-1 with Ponte Preta despite dominating the match (should have been 3 or 4 up by half time) which cost me 8 points :$ and Botafogo fall to that last minute goal which stopped me getting out with a push :$ . Never mind, Brazil is usually a good place to bet for me so I'll certainly be back :okBotafogo lost in last minute 0-1. bad luck! it was a good call! -
Re: Brazil Serie A
The game isnt being played at a neutral venue. I should have mentioned that Botafogo use two different stadiums for there home games. Estádio Caio Martins has a capacity of just 15,000 and is used when Botafogo play smaller teams. When they play bigger teams like Internacional they use Estádio do Maracanã (The Maracanã) which holds just under 105,000 people. Botafogo are used to playing both of these stadiums so I dont see it as a problem and the bigger attendance and better home support can only enhance Botafogo's chances as far as I'm concerned.botafogo match played at neutral? will it effect the outcome? -
Re: Brazil Serie A
vs 
SÃO PAULO vs PONTE PRETA
São Paulo and Ponte Preta face each other with both needing points for different reasons. Whilst São Paulo fight for the Serie A title, Ponte Preta fight to stay in the division. São Paulo are without suspended midfielder and Captain, Josué who will be replaced by André Dias. Fellow midfielder Mineiro is still attempting to recover from an ankle injury and will have a late fitness test. If he doesnt play he will be replaced by Ramalho. Sao Paulo striker AloÃsio has recovered from an injured ankle and will play. Ponte Preta have massive selection problems. They are without the released Juliano, Da Silva, Almir, Danilo, Vélber, Jean Carlo, LuÃs Mário and Mossoró. Also missing is the suspended Ricardo Conceição plus injured Thiago Matias and Fábio Baiano. This leaves Ponte Preta starting with 18 year JaÃlton up front. Likely starting line ups: SÃO PAULO GOALKEEPER = Rogério Ceni, DEFENCE = Ilsinho, Fabão, Miranda, Júnior, MIDFIELD = André Dias, Mineiro (Ramalho), Souza, Danilo, STRIKERS = Leandro, AloÃsio. PONTE PRETA GOALKEEPER = Jean, DEFENCE = Nei, Preto, Régis, Wellington, MIDFIELD = Carlinhos, DionÃsio, Pituca, Emerson, STRIKERS = Tuto, JaÃlton. I can see this game being extremely one sided with only one possible winner, Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo have beaten Better teams than Ponte Preta at home recently including Juventude (5-0), Vasco Da Game (5-1) and Internacional (2-0). Sadly the bookies are being none to generous as usual and offer ridiculous odds. I'll take Sao Paulo to win on the -1.5 AH and would expect them to cover it quite comfortably. Good luck all :hope . My Bet: Sao Paulo -1.5 AH 1.80 Bet365 8/10

Re: Brazil Serie A
VS 
BOTAFOGO vs INTERNACIONAL
Botafogo against Inter: a major test for these form teams, both needing the victory for different reasons. Botafogo still hold out hopes of making one of the top four places and Copa Libatadores qualification whilst Internacional still has a chance of capturing the Brazilian Championship. Certainly with Sao Paulo entertaining Ponte Preta at the same time as Inter tackle Botafogo, its a match that Inter can ill afford to drop points in.
Both coaches (Cuca of Botafogo and Abel Braga of Internacional) know there teams are in form with both capable of beating the other. While Cuca can count on a fully fit squad of players, Abel Braga doesnt have the same luxury. Wellington Monteiro returns to the starting line up in place of Maycon however Clemer, Fernandão and Élder miss the game through injury. Without top scorer Fernandão, Abel Braga still searches for the ideal partner for Iarley. This time Internacional give the responsibility to pacy 19 year old striker Luís Adriano who replaces Ricardo Jesus who started against Juventude. The thinking behind that move seems to be that Luís Adriano's pace will cause more problems to Botafogo on the counter attack.
Likely starting line ups:
BOTAFOGO (likely to play 442, if 352, Ruy and Junior Cesar will move to wide midfield/wing back with Asprilla making up the 3 central defenders with Rafael Marques and Juninho. Midfielder Joílson would be left out). GOALKEEPER = Max, DEFENCE = Ruy, Rafael Marques, Juninho, Junior Cesar, MIDFIELD = Diguinho, Claiton, Joílson (or Asprilla), Zé Roberto, STRIKERS = Wando, Reinaldo. INTERNACIONAL (likely to play 442) GOALKEEPER = Renan, DEFENCE = Ceará, Índio, Fabiano Eller, Hidalgo MIDFIELD = Wellington Monteiro, Edinho, Perdigão, Alex, STRIKERS = Luís Adriano, Iarley.
Tough match to call this one with both teams needing the points but I'm going to have to side with Botafogo. Of course Internacional are good enough to win at the Maracanã but I just think that the home advantage and the quality of Botafogo's attacking players will at least be enough to see them avoid defeat. Without Fernandão, Internacional simply arent the same team and I dont see them having the fire power to outscore Botafogo. Other top Brazilian teams have tried and failed to take points away from the Maracanã this season including Sao Paulo (D = 1-1), Santos (L = 3-4), Gremio (D = 2-2) and Vasco (L = 0-4). Botafogo have won 5 of there last 6 at home whilst Internacional have lost 3 of there last 4 away. I'm not going to underestimate Internacional's quality by going for the straight home win but I will be playing Botafogo on the level ball AH. Good Luck all :hope .
My Bet: Botafogo (0) AH 1.85 Bet365 5/10

Re: Chile Clausura
Hate to have to correct you mate but your looking at the wrong table. The Chile Primera Division is split into two parts, the Apertura and Clausura. The home and away records that you mentioned above are from the Apertura which finished in June. The Clausura is currently being contested and the current stats for the teams you have chosen are as follows: Huachipato (11th) have a Clausura home record of (2-1-2, 7F & 6A) Rangers Talca (7th) have a Clausura away record of (1-3-3, 3F & 10A) Audax Italiano (8th) have a Clausura home record of (4-2-2, 16F & 9A) Santiago Wanderers (5th) have a Clausura away record of (2-1-4, 8F & 13A) The problem I'd have with both of the home teams (Huachipato and Audax Italiano is that both started the Clausura really well before hitting some bad form. Huachipato have lost 6 of there last 7 games home and away including 2 of there last 3 home games (Huachipato won there other home game 1-0 against 2nd from bottom Union Espanola). Audax Italiano have won 3 and lost 5 of there last 8 games but this has included 3 home wins and 2 home defeats. More worrying would be the fact that there last home defeat (which was also there last game) was against forth from bottom Santiago Morning (who also finished bottom of the Apertura Championship). Maybe with the above stats it helps to explain why the odds are quite reasonable although to me there not that generous given both home teams current form ;)Lads, Don't ususally post on these threads, but have come across a couple of bets while trawling through my local bookies website at lunch time (more out of boredom than any other reason) HUACHIPATO vs RANGERS DE TALCA 1 @ 8/13 AUDUX ITALIANO vs SANTIAGO WANDERERS 1 @ 5/6 I am going to have a bet on the two home teams, don't have any reason other than the home form of one team and the diabolical away form of the other team. Huachipato have a home record of (7-1-2 19F & 10A) while their opponents have an away record of (1-3-6 14F & 28A). Audux not as good as Huachapito at home (3-3-2 14F & 10A) but Santiago Wanderers have a truly awful record away from home (1-0-8 5F & 21A) No information about players, injuries, suspensions at the moment, I am off to do some more research. But on those records alone the two home teams have to backed at odds of 1.96/1 Leesidepunter -
Re: Champions League (Oct 31)
Are you serious?? :eek , No way are Galatasaray a 10/10 pick away to anyone in europe let alone PSV. You have to go back to August 2003 since they had an away win in any European competition which was a 3-0 success against CSKA Sofia. Since that win there away record in Europe reads P - 7, W - 0, D - 2, L - 5. Even in there domestic league this season Galatasaray have only won 1 of the 5 away matches played. Compare that to PSV's domestic home record of 4 wins from 4 and there european home record which includes just one home defeat in the last 3 years (against Lyon!) then I dont see any real reasoning for your bet. Maybe I'll be proved wrong but to me PSV are one of the picks of the night in the Champions League.PSV - Galatasaray SK PSV good play at home all match,national league and champions league.Thıs match very hard,because Galatasaray last chances.Maybe PSV will win this match but Galatasaray team form holded.Last 3 matches won league and cup.It must win this match and ı think gerets will move attacking tacktik 4-1-3-2 maybe 4-2-3-1 but thıs tacktık very hard to score. PSV will play ball calm,because 1 points enough.Galatasaray will play ball fast.I think Galatasaray play atacking and maybe win this match,because important player for attacking. Ãœmit Karan,Necati Ateş,Hakan ŞÃ¼kür,Arda Turan,Hasan Şaş,Sasa İlic this player very impotant star. PSV maybe play counter attack and farfan,kone dangeraus player for Galatasaray defender. I think Galatasaray will win this match maybe 1-0 maybe 2-1. 7,23 odd incredible. Over/under very hard pick. 10/10 Galatasaray WİN
