[Copa Libertadores ( 17-19 march )]

Re: Copa Libertadores ( 17-19 march ) :clap Exellent post. I took your advice after having a look at the respective league tables and there looked like there would only be 1 winner. 3 - 0 Thanks

I took Club Nacional earlier at 6/5 and their odds are still rising, 6/4 on Betfair!!! That is a huge price and must be based on River Plate's name alone as they have done nothing special in this competition, let's look at the home / away records;

12-04-07	Copa Liberta…	W	Club Nacional de Football	2 - 0	CA Vélez Sársfield
03-05-07	Copa Liberta…	W	Club Nacional de Football	3 - 2	Necaxa
22-05-07	Copa Liberta…	D	Club Nacional de Football	2 - 2	Cúcuta Deportivo
06-03-08	Copa Liberta…	W	Club Nacional de Football	3 - 0	Flamengo
03-04-08	Copa Liberta…	W	Club Nacional de Football	1 - 0	Bolognesi Tacna
24-04-08	Copa Liberta…	W	Club Nacional de Football	3 - 1	Cienciano Cusco
01-05-08	Copa Liberta…	D	Club Nacional de Football	0 - 0	São Paulo
12-02-09	Copa Liberta…	W	Club Nacional de Football	2 - 1	Univ San Martin Lima

22-02-07	Copa Liberta…	W	CD Colo Colo	1 - 2	CA River Plate
15-03-07	Copa Liberta…	D	Liga de Quito	1 - 1	CA River Plate
05-04-07	Copa Liberta…	L	Caracas FC	3 - 1	CA River Plate
13-02-08	Copa Liberta…	L	Univ San Martin Lima	2 - 0	CA River Plate
13-03-08	Copa Liberta…	W	Universidad Católica	1 - 2	CA River Plate
03-04-08	Copa Liberta…	L	América	4 - 3	CA River Plate
01-05-08	Copa Liberta…	L	CA San Lorenzo de Almagro	2 - 1	CA River Plate
06-03-09	Copa Liberta…	L	Univ San Martin Lima	2 - 1	CA River Plate

River Plate have been incredibly poor in this competition playing away from home losing 5/6 games whilst Nacional have a very strong home record with 6-2-0 record in last 8 games! So far in this current campaign;

12-02-09	Copa Liberta…	W	Club Nacional de Football	2 - 1	Univ San Martin Lima
18-02-09	Copa Liberta…	W	Nacional Asunción	0 - 3	Club Nacional de Football

13-02-09	Copa Liberta…	W	CA River Plate	1 - 0	Nacional Asunción
06-03-09	Copa Liberta…	L	Univ San Martin Lima	2 - 1	CA River Plate

Club Nacional are leading their group winning both games whilst River showed yet again their frailty on the road. Whilst i've backed the 6/5 already earlier my conclusion; Back Club Nacional @ 6/4 Betfair 8/10

[Champions League: Group Stage- Matchday 5 Wednesday 5th November]

Re: Champions League: Group Stage- Matchday 5 Wednesday 5th November I'm surprised at the lack of consideration on here for Dynamo Kiev?! Bar Lyon I reckon that they are the safest bet of the night. Domestically they are 11 - 1 - 1 35:6 with home form being 6 - 0 - 1 18:2. Top of the table after 13 games Their last 6 games are 6 wins scoring 22 and conceding 1. Drawing at home with Arsenal, and away with Fener. They beat Porto in Portugal (1-0) and by all accounts it could have been more. Porto domestically are 6th in the table after 7 games with a 1 - 2-1 3:3 away record. 2 defeats in the CL already however the group is still tight because Dynamo Kiev have drawn a couple of days. Tonight I feel is when Kiev and Arsenal will pull away from the others. Dynamo Kiev to Win or consider Draw no Bet at 5/6.
