Re: Chelsea v Paris Saint-Germain > Tuesday April 8th Ibrahimovic isn't build for these kind of games anyway. As good as he is, but he is not what I would classify as "hard worker" on the pitch.

Re: Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund > Wednesday April 2nd There are not even a handful of teams I would rate better than Dortmund's 1st team. Problem is their 2nd team is much worse. Hummels and Subotic are an amazing defensive pair and Bender and Gundogan are 2 machines in defensive midfield. Don't need to say much about Lewandowski's striker abilites. Can remember the last match between these two when Real completely ran over Dortmund's 1st team (!!) but could somehow only manage to score 2 and were knocked out 4-3 on aggregate. Klopp is a great coach, but like the odds say, anything other than a Real Madrid win would be sensational. Also there is the revenge angle which should not be underestimated.

Re: Europa League > Thursday March 20th Tottenham don't even try. Friedel is really starting...

Re: Europa League > Thursday March 20th
:p Roberto "I don't know where the goal is" Soldado I just can't see Tottenham getting anything out of this game. Lots of really important players missing, probably even old man Friedel in goal (?). Poor form in general. They don't know how to create chances. Sherwood outcoached by Jorge Jesus. Benfica without any significant absences. No rain forecast. Big pitch where Benfica can exploit all of Tottenham's weaknesses. Most importantly Benfica care about Europa League while Tottenham don't give a damn anyway (despite what they are saying).I think goals in Lisbon are almost a certainty, neither side will be playing cautiously and spurs look to be starting a makeshift back line. despite the missings spurs will have players capable of going forward still, in Eriksen, Siggy, Soldado, Lennon. Think we'll see another 3-1 to Benfica type of scoreline -
Re: Borussia Dortmund v Zenit Saint-Petersburg > Wednesday March 19th Note to self: Don't rely on Dortmund to score a lot when half their first team players are out injured. Wouldn't have hurt if Aubamayang could place headers into an empty net.

Re: Manchester United v Olympiacos > Wednesday March 19th Greeks know how to park the bus away from home. And United aren't exactly goal machines lately. I think United will win but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a 1-0 win by a goal in the 83rd minute.

Re: Borussia Dortmund v Zenit Saint-Petersburg > Wednesday March 19th I don't know how Zenit will play with the new coach but Klopp loves football and the Champions League and he always wants to put on a show for the fans. And this game is the perfect opportunity. Everyone knows that Zenit will never win this game 3-0. Mental pressure for the Germans won't be too high. Also Dortmund are struggling in Bundesliga and are coming of a bitter loss against Moenchengladbach which even sent raging Juergen Klopp to the stands. So the motivation is obviously there despite being already through. Like the overs bets.

Re: Europa League > Thursday March 13th
C'mon, that's Tottenham we are talking about. This club has become delusional. Thinking they are a Top 4 side and dreaming about Champions League even though they are obviously not good enough. Doubt that they'll play with 100%. Europa League isn't big enough for mighty Tottenham Hotspur. ;)I saw an interview yesterday and they really look determined to win cause this is one of their last chances for a silver ware. I'll take them for odds of 2.45 with a smile on my face. Maybe Jesus will even rotate more but that's only a + for me then. Goodluck! -
Re: FC Barcelona v Manchester City > Wednesday March 12th This could very well be another boring low score game like the one in Munich we saw yesterday. Home team doesn't need to do anything, and the guests don't know what to do. For me it's either Barcelona straight win or nothing. City still haven't shown that they can compete with the big guns in the Champions League.

Re: International Friendlies > March 5th - 6th
They are a good team at home when it's serious business but they usually suck in friendlies. Usual home stadium is also in Vienna, this game however is played in Klagenfurt (if it matters).Austria have a decent record in Austria, where they have lost just 3 of the last 13 matches. Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani will not be playing and although Luis Suarez is in red-hot form he is not that hot in away matches. Can the Austrians pull off a surprise. Anybody fancy Austria + 1? -
Re: Manchester United v Fulham > Sunday February 9th Moyes should do himself a favour and go back to coaching a mid-table side.

Re: Manchester United v Fulham > Sunday February 9th Some coaches weren't made to coach champions and Moyes is one of them.

Re: Galatasaray SK v Juventus > Tuesday December 10th Is it usual that the bookie doesn't cancel the bet when the game is called off? When i placed the bet I didn't know the game would be held on the next day, at 3 o'clock on a snowy tractor field. Twats.

Re: Arsenal v Olympique Marseille > Tuesday November 26th It wasn't meant to be insulting. Just the odds aren't that great.

Re: Arsenal v Olympique Marseille > Tuesday November 26th
2.625 are shitty odds for someone like Ramsey to score a goal.Surely worth a punt for Aaron Ramsey to score anytime. The man in form has scored 5 goals in 6 CL matches and surely would want to add up to the scoreline today. Bet 365 @ 2.625 3/10 (Any time scorer) And a 1/10 stakes on Ramsey to score first 6/1 @ Bet 365 -
Re: World Cup Play-Offs Asia/Oceana/America > Wednesday November 13th No, to other posters above who did their best to make New Zealand look like Belgium when in fact New Zealand is New Zealand and they suck at football.

Re: World Cup Play-Offs Asia/Oceana/America > Wednesday November 13th Nice job talking people out of betting on Mexico. They only won 5-1 against the mighty New Zealand. :ok:lol

Re: Manchester United v Arsenal > Sunday November 10th Gotta say Arsenal's defensive performance against Borussia Dortmund was terrific. Also, United have trouble finding the back of the net. A low scoring game wouldn't be surprising.

Re: Arsenal v Borussia Dortmund > Tuesday October 22nd Gündogan and Pisczek are out. Left back Schmelzer is doubtful. Durm might play instead of him. I think all others are available right now.

Re: Arsenal v Borussia Dortmund > Tuesday October 22nd
which was both Klopp's and the team's first year in the Champions League and they have learned a lot since then. Don't know why you would consider a result from 2002. ;)Arsenal are playing really good football at the moment and it's hard to oppose the at the moment. Even though the Gunners have a bad home record against German sides in the past years, losing 0-2 to Schalke and 1-3 to Bayern Munchen last season, they do have a good record against B.Dortmund, winning 2-0 in 2002 and 2-1 in 2011. -
Re: FK Austria Wien v Atlético de Madrid > Tuesday October 22nd Temperature will be about 15°C. Very warm for this time of the year. Just saying because people tend to talk about weather conditions when Iberian teams play in colder regions.

Re: Arsenal v Borussia Dortmund > Tuesday October 22nd I can't see Arsenal parking the bus at home against Dortmund, which will make it easier for the Germans to play their standard quick counterattacking game when in possession. I don't worry much about Dortmund's relatively poor performance against Hannover in Bundesliga because a lot of teams stuggle in the first game after a long break. Reus and Nuri Sahin have recovered from their injuries again and did play against Hannover. So did youngster Jonas Hofmann. Considerung the attacking strength of both teams right now this should be a game with a lot of goals and probably the best of the week. On the other hand Arsenal may lead the Premier League which is of course impressive but they have played just one big name in the domestic league and managed to score just one goal in a 1-0 win against Tottenham (who haven't scored a lot this year either).

Re: World Cup Europe Qualification > Tuesday October 15th Lewandowski to score @ 3.25 bwin A self-absorbed player like him, having all of England's eyes on him and playing in a sold-out Wembley, he just has to show 100% effort in this game. Price is good enough for a goalscorer of his class. He also has to know there is a lot of criticism in Poland because he doesn't play nearly as well as he does for Dortmund (of course he plays with better players there). The perfect game to show that the Polish press is wrong about him. ;)

Re: Liverpool v Crystal Palace > Saturday October 5th
I know it's easy to be a smartass now that the bet is (almost) through but can i say "common sense" as a reason? The people who browse this forum already know a lot about football. Sturridge is on fire and Suarez is one of the best goalscorers in Europe. The odds for Liverpool win alone or 0:1 handicap were too poor. It's not like I was throwing in some weird bet like "CP to score 2-3 goals" without a reason.Why Why Why Why Why Why Why? Dunno how many times I have to say it, REASONING essential or posts are going to be deleted, end of.
Borussia Dortmund v Real Madrid > Tuesday April 8th
in Champions League Predictions
Posted
Re: Borussia Dortmund v Real Madrid > Tuesday April 8th I agree about Mkhitaryan. In fact, he was particularly bad in the first leg. Aubameyang is a decent player but after all he's just a back-up for Blaszcykowski who really is one hell of a player both offensively and defensively. I don't think Aubameyang is good enough defensively. Dortmund usually plays a 4-2-3-1 and of course they rely much on the defensive midfielders. But all of them are out. Go figure... Subotic is out for the season. He and Hummels usually build the defensive pair. Left back Schmelzer is also not playing. When Dortmund beat Real 4-1 they had all their first choice players on the team. Now half of the team is out injured. Dortmund can always get something, no question about it, but I wouldn't trust them too much.
