[UEFA Champions League > Tuesday 15 February]

Re: UEFA Champions League > Tuesday 15 February

Small double for me with Sportsbet. AC Milan v Tottenham Hotspur – Both to score @ 1.73 Arsenal v Barcelona – Both to score @ 1.57 Total odds @ 2.72 I think the Milan – Tottenham fixture has already been covered by a few in earlier posts, so I won’t ramble on too much. Tottenham very rarely fail to get on the scoresheet, and this goes for their away fixtures too. They always seem to conjure up a goal no matter who the opposition is… If they are missing Bale who loves to run amok down that wing, then they can turn to other proven goal scorers like VDV, Crouch, Lennon, and perhaps even Krancjar who is in a rich vain of form since being promoted to the starting 11. Make no mistake about it, Harry will have his side ready and raring to grab that all important away goal. As for Milan, well I can’t say I watch a huge amount of their games, or any other sides in the Serie A for that matter. But one thing I do know, is that they have a world class frontline in Ibra, Pato and Robinho. By all reports they have been linking well and have developed a strong understanding in the past few matches. It’d be interesting to hear a bit more info from a Milan fan? I’m predicting a 2-1 victory to AC Milan. As for the Arsenal v Barcelona fixture? Well I don’t think this one requires much explanation. Arsenal have been fantastic at home this season (Winning 9 and drawing 2 of their last 11 home fixtures). They play brilliant football at home and Van Persie has been in blistering form. I think they’ll be able to pop at least one away, but how they handle Barcelona’s attack… well that’s another kettle of fish. I can’t see an overly high scoring match, but I’m more then confident in each sides ability to score here.

In the coral "How many teams to score" market the odds for both to score are: Milan v Spurs 1.91 Arsenal v Barca 1.73 Total Odds - 3.29 I hope you haven't got your bet on yet. By the way, I'm on both teams to score in the Milan game.

[International Friendlies > 2011]

Re: Internatioanal Friendlies 8-10 February

Serbia will be without important players Stankovic (Inter)' date=' Vidic (Man Utd), Zigic (Birmingham) and Ninkovic (Dinamo K.) in the match against Israel.[/quote'] Why no Vidic? The only bet I've got is Ivory Coast(I got 1.95 at BlueSq). I obviously think they'll win but I wouldn't back them at the price they are now though(1.67) because it's a friendly.

Re: Asian Cup

He means the handicap bet, I think: Bahrain to beat India by more than 2.5 goals

I think Tulenos is looking for why rather than what. Incidentally, India 'Not to score' is 1.73 at Paddypower and Bahrain to win both halves is 2.0, also at Paddypower. n.b. I am not tipping these bets, I am just pointing out the odds for those who seem to think Bahrain will win easy. I have almost no knowledge of Asian football.

Re: Asian Cup

Thinking of having a punt on UAE tommorow - I can't believe they are that long out against a North Korea side ranked below them in the world. UAE have plenty of experience in this tournament and although they have been poor for the last year, their recent results are showing they are getting it together defensively with four clean sheets out of the last six games. I can't help but think a lot of goodwill is being shown to the North Koreans on the basis of that spirited display against Brazil. Thoughts?

It's hard to say because North Korea don't appear to have played any games. I honestly have no idea what they'll be like. Might be worth a punt, but it would be a punt.
