West Brom are my value pick this weekend. Quite a tricky weekend so would definitely advise sticking to singles.

Had a quick look over, Eibar look tasty @ 2.05 to beat Malaga at home.
Might be my sole bet of the weekend and will return with actual analysis

Sevilla were outclassed by Betis in the first half, but Sampaoli changed it and his side end up with three points. A coach with solutions. Sevilla won with smart substitutions and tactical adjustments by Sampaoli in a ground where Bétis mopped the floor with Barça this season.

Eh eh eh.. Same thing to Monaco... but as said earlier, PSG would win this match 9 times over 10, so no worry... It's Dupraz... The Toulouse coach... I suspect him to be a wizard, his teams always perform well against PSG.. it's insane...!
Still i maintain, Madrid poorly loosing against valencia the other day, for me still, PSG = best club in europe (in the moment with Bayern) and in my heart of course, unwavering faith! 

I have backed home wins for both Nantes and Nice tonight.
Nice were available @2.1 so can't turn that down given their excellent home form despite missing a couple of attacking options I still see value here. The visitors have had 2 good results but the 1st, V St Etienne was a little lucky due to a red card changing an otherwise even game. I think Nice bring more quality at home and will be too strong.
Dijon with injuries and a very poor defence that Nantes can exploit. 

I'd say the value is in Ipswich and given Norwichs poor last result I'd be inclined to skip this one in the fear Ipswich nick a point.
I quite fancy Burton to get the better of Blackburn although that should be a right tight game but with Blackburn losing their manager it could be unpredictable. 
I'll have a look into Luton win also and post an update later.

Odds on Sparta Praga are interesting. Yeah, they lost the first leg 4-0 so this tie is done and dusted but now they're playing at home. They have a decent record in Europe this season winning 4 out of 5 games and in the whole season they have just lost one match. On the other hand Rostov have just won one away match this season and it was in August. Although in Europe their record gets better as they have played 5 games and just lost two (against bayern and atletico with a last minute winner) They've beaten anderlecht away and they drew against ajax and PSV. First leg was a 4-0 win for the russians but sparta had a player sent off in the minute 30 with 1-0 so not much could have been done. I think Rostov can play this match relaxed as only a heavy defeat would knock them out of the europa league. Odds on Sparta are drifting and they are currently around the 2.15 mark which IMO are a bit high given the circumstances.
I will appreciate if someone shares some info about this match. Can't find much stuff on the web...
Spurs -1.5 seems a good option for tonight...

FC Porto v Juventus
The home side have an incredible record at home in the Champions League and have beaten Bayern and Chelsea at home in recent years. They also may have the perfect style to upset this Juventus side with their aggressive press from the front led by Andre Silva particularly with Bonucci missing from the squad. However I wanted bigger than 3.4 to be backing them against a side like Juventus and the value on the win market looks on the side of Juventus if anything at 2.6.
However I've been collecting shot location numbers in Liga NOS this season and Porto's centre half pairing come out incredibly well on shot quantity and quality. Although Porto are usually dominant against most opponents in the domestic league and get lots of set pieces as a result this is not seen in the other members of the "Os Tres Grandes" Benfica and Sporting. Porto are doing something right in the set piece department with quality set piece takers in Telles, Layun and Torres for example and also Marcano and Felipe who are able to attack their deliveries with a lot of success. Incredibly the pair have been involved in 10 shots logged as big chances this season only being beaten by strike partners Andre Silva and Soares.
Juventus have conceded 7 goals from headers this season and are missing key man Bonucci at the back tonight. Some of there problems have stemmed from individual errors and Porto will be hoping to expose Alex Sandro and Lichtsteiner who can be suspect positionally at set plays.
Marcano to score anytime @ 20/1 Bwin
Felipe to score anytime @ 20/1 Bwin

Absolutely shocking letting standards slip @StevieDay1983 Posts on time next week please 
I personally think St Etienne will beat Manchester Utd in the 2nd leg. I still think the English side will go through the tie but the French were a little bit unlucky in Manchester and if it wasn't for some very poor final balls they could/should have scored 2 or 3 goals. English teams also have a history of switching off away from home in this competition and motivation for the Man U players might be lowered by the fact that some think they're already through the tie. The home side will be determined to put in a performance in front of their own fans as this is arguably their biggest match of the season (perhaps not now at 0-3).
APOEL v Bilbao could be a classic imo. Home side with nothing to lose and an completely unpredictable Athletico when on the road. I predict goals and will look closer at taking the home side to qualify (currently as high as 4.33 They have two away goals after all and they play at a very tough venue for visiting teams. They also rested players at the weekend who will come in fresh for this one whilst Bilbao suffered a bad defeat in La Liga v troubled Valencia and the pressure is on a little bit domestically and maybe their focus turns there.
Lastly, Osmanlispor to qualify at 2.20 seems quite nice to me for a punt.
 

I agree with you. I think after a rocky period Pep is finally starting to get them back on course. I also think that our sides are exposed to City every week. European clubs do not have that advantage and will not be as familiar with the way they are playing. Sure, they will do their scouting but it's not the same as being there in the same league as them week in and week out. I think -1 handicap is a great shout if the price improves just slightly.

Im on it too.
High stakes.

I was on Morecambe today 

Locking in Sevilla -1.25 @ 1.98(sbobet) now. Just when you thought things can't get any worse for Leicester, they just lost to 10 men league 1 side Millwall. Pretty confident Sevilla will win, at most I lose half my bet if they only win by a goal.

Everyone who watched the match can not be unsatisfied with the call on Monaco. They were million times better and Bastia can thanks to whoever they believe to, that they took point out of this game. Matches like this doesn't irritate me. I am more worried when I am totally wrong. In 10 matches like this, Monaco will win 9 of them, probably more than 5 of them with more than goal difference, but unfortunately this "unsuccessful" match happened tonight. It's true that Monaco needed maybe 20-30min to adapt to this disastrous pitch, but anyway they were much better side. Besides Bastia scored from "nothing", they were poor in attack, they were poor in midfield, even in defence from time to time, but when they were, then they were lucky. All in all, I really keep my fingers crossed that they will be relegated.

i think celta vigo is not going to be prepared for this osasuna side. the visitors are very adventurous and could cause them lots of problems they are not shy on goals either scoring 11 in last six games. i'm big stakes on osasuna to win this one. i will stake £250 and hopefully get a nice return of £1500. god have mercy

defensively they look good at the minute and the fact they didn't concede to leipzig is a big plus. i think they will see off freiburg maybe 1-0

Rostov v Sparta Prague
The home side have performed heroically thus far in Europe having had a great Champions League campaign collecting 5 points and famously beating Bayern Munich 3-2. Despite struggling for consistency domestically-they are currently 7th in the Russian Premier- I still see them as a formidable team especially at (h). They have only lost once in 18 months on home soil and have won 9/14 this season in total. 
Sparta, are a good side themselves and finished top of an extremely testing Europa League group alongside Inter, Southampton and Beer Sheva but I feel the first two were much weaker than they currently find themselves. Perhaps finishing 1st shouldn't be TOO overstated. 
I think the away side is dangerous and are capable of avoiding defeat but for me Rostov is all about Europe this season. They have proven they can compete against the best in Europe already and with their home record I can seem them taking an advantage into leg 2. The coach also has a full squad of players to choose from and despite just returning from mid-season break, the noisy support will ensure that everyone is motivated for this one.

Besides... I can see you guys talking about Nice.. Plea won't play, which means that we'll see young Donis in first eleven.

@Icongene Rostov's price up to 2.15 now. Will tail nonetheless.

Here some information about the Belgian teams:
Genk: under their new coach, Stuivenberg, who was the assistent from Van Gaal in Manchester, they are doing quite well. Although they lost Bailey (to Leverkussen) they still have some attacking power even without Karelis who is injured. Under their previous coach, Maes, they played good in Europe, but the results in Belgium were bad. One week they played excellent, the other week bad. I don't know much about Astra, but the Belgian league is class above the Romanian that's for sure. I see them qualify with quite an ease, although they have some important matches ahead of them to qualify for PO 1.
RSC Anderlecht: first of all, I am an Anderlecht supporter. They have very good results the last 2 months, although their play isn't fantastic. Personally, I think the Belgian press is too hard for them and their coach. I like their team more than I did last year. This match is quite difficult to predict as Zenit is without competition for a couple of months now. I read in Belgian newspapers that they played 11 friendly games and that they are already in Brussels for quite a while. I think it will be a hard battle for qualification as Zenit lost Witsel and Hulk don't play for them anymore. Maybe I go for a little bet on Anderlecht, but other opinions are welcome.
Gent: if they are in form, for me it's the best playing team in Belgium. But they are struggling a lot and are 8th in the Belgian Championship. They strengtened their squad a lot during winter transfer window and have with Kalinic the best keeper in Belgium.  Tottenham is for sure the favorite in this one, but Gent can make it very hard for them as Tottenham maybe isn't focussed on Europe League. Last year, Anderlecht won at home against Tottenham and lost with small margin in England. With wich team will Tottenham play? Also English teams are overrated when playing in Europe in my opininion (sorry guys).
Would love to hear some more info about their opponents  Best of luck!
 

Im sorry @DrBetter but im not sure what makes you think PSG are the best side in Europe. They aren't even the best side in France this season.
You also said 'when you crush the best team in Europe' well as far as I know Real Madrid are the best team in Europe (holders of the Champions League and to add to that, they're ahead of this Barcelona side in La Liga.
 

When on 6 Mar 2005 I registred in this forum I could not imagine that 12 years later I could live off the bets.
This is made possible largely through the webs like punterslounge where I have learned and improved.
Thank you for all the work.
