I am Greek so I will speak my mind about the Greek teams playing tomorrow at Europa League.
Slovan Liberec - PAOK.
PAOK is in good shape and it is expected of them to win this or at least get away with a draw. Especially after the 0-0 result against Fiorentina. A loss would be nothing short of a disaster. Even the bookies give out odds in favor of the team from Thessaloniki.
Celta - Panathinaikos/.
Panathinaikos' enemy is not Celta. It's their own coach Stramazzoni or whatever is his name. He is clearly intimidated by the challenge and he cannot stand up to the occasion. Celta on the other head just got in shape so at the best of circumstances Panathinaikos could only hope to get away with a draw. But it weill probably be another loss for them.
Olympiacos - APOEL
This is actually a lot tougher than it looks. While Olympiacos play at home and they have better players, their psychology is low and their coach Bento is still experimenting as he did not hav e a chance to set up this team. On the other hand APOEL is in shape and could very well win this. So everything goes on this one even though the bookies say it will be an easy victory for Olympiacos.
Let's check out some odds here:

Nicequy got the right idea. Avoid betting in this league. Stop funding the destruction of football in Greece. Use your money elsewhere and get better odds and better value at more credible leagues than what will come out in the next few days which will be nothing else than a farse in Greece.

Mate, very helpful information. I want to help Greek punters, and I'll share my opinion about this situation. This is a big problem, when problematic people enter the world of betting. But my advice is that you must find betting brokerage service, which provide you to bet on big bookies outside the boundaries of the Greece. Also, I use big bookies outside of my country. I used different betting agents, but now I use BetInAsia, because they provide me betting platform mollybet. On the mollybet you can connect all your accounts into one account. This is my solution for your problem. I hope that I helped you.
Actually you did not but I appreciate the effort. Actually I want people to stop placing bets on the Greek championship altogether. Your solution fpr a broker has already been investigated. For me it's BET-IBC and its VIP platform. Like you I have one account and I can place bets across many bookmakers at very high limits and with even lower commissions. It does look like a nice alternative for those that look for something better than what is offfered here.

And the absolute farse continues... FIFA and UEFA came. And instead of expelling the Greek teams for state intervention as per their mandates, they helped a stalinic idiot get what he wanted. An ousting of a board with an independent voice and the presence of character to oppose him. And the idiot still does not let the championship begin because a new board that is to his liking is not yet in place. Taking into account that 2 out of the 4 TV licenses were given to 2 football club owners it is easy to make corelations. Corelations about the downfall of a championship that is assisted with every penny paid to the state owned gambling establishment. Greeks need to stop paying them money. They need to find alternative gambling establishments. If necessary they need to seek betting agents for even more options. But they need to let those people pay out of their own pockets.
-
The idiot is determined to bring everything 40 years back. For a very simple reason. If it happens then all investors will withdraw, the whole thing will become amateur again and not subject to UEFA's demands for an independent GFA. Which means that the trio (Kondonis, Melisanidis, Savidis) will be able to control all of it and monopolize eveyrthing to their interests. Greeks can take out Melisanidis by not gambling at the monopolized gambling establishment of OPAP. That's where he gets all the money to invest in Kondonis endeavors. If this money is lost then he will have to back down. Greeks must stop gambling at OPAP. There are other options available for more winnings and a better investment of their money.
-
I would say this is a special for the Greeks of this forum and is a message not to donate their money freely to Mr Melisanidis but look for alternatives for their gambling habits elsehwere outside the country. This man is going to dip into their pockets so deep that when they realize what is going on it will be too late. Melisanidis needs money fast. He needs to pay for new player acquisitions, a new stadium and the money owed to IRS. He was counting for a few million Euros to come in from the Europa League games. Now AEK is disqualified so that money will not be coming in. In a most characteristic scandal he manages the state owned gamb;ling establishment OPAP and therefore has access to its billions. Billions paid by Greek bettors and gamblers. And all he has to do is lay his hands on that money to cover the deficit. And the Greeks will get to pay the money that should have come out of his own funds.

Yeah, this result between Red Star and Ludogorets it seems suspicious. And I agree with you that elimination of Olympiacos, Shakhtar, Anderlecht and Bate Borisov looks terrible. But now begin the Olympic Games, and my favorite for football title is Brazil. They have awesome young team and they are hosts, must take revenge for the World Cup.
And they started with a draw...
-
If there were a few teams that I would consider as sure bets, those were Olympiacos, Shakhtar, Anderlecht and Bate Borisov. And I would have lost all four... Something is terribly wrong this year....

In first leg odds on mollybet were: @1.83 on Ludogorets win and @4.33 on Red Star win. For today's match @3.07 on Ludogorets win and @2.41 on Red Star win. I think that bookies are little confused, like me :-D
2-2 on regulation, overtime and 2-4 on overtime? Seriously? Who wrote the script for this one, Hitchcock?
I guess I have to admit that your prediction on Ludogorets prooved correct...

Haha, and even then they don't really seem to care! Provided the club can pay a fine!
Not really! Let me remind you want happened when Machester City and Barcelona broke the rule. The first penalty was for no buying or selling of players for 2 years! Paris Saint Germain was almost disqualified!

Tomorrow we will see who will pass in the play off Champions League, now odds on mollybet are different, than in first match. Favorite is Red Star, but it's was interesting topic for discussion with you. Either way, tomorrow we will see who was in right.
2.3 vs 3.1 (average) is not that much of a favor. It says one goal difference between the two. I.e. bookies expect one of the two to win this and not draw. That's an interesting development!

Oh, you are so funny. I'm not from Bulgaria, but I have opinion that teams from Serbia have a weak league and aren't prepared for the European scene. Like a Partizan, who was eliminated in second round of EL qualification.
It is true that the Serbian league is weak and that there are only a few teams that measure up. But Red Star is a brand name and brand names fight that much harder. Ludogorets is a newbie in comparisson. Apart from that the thing that counts in the European scene is experience. And Red Star has a lot more experience than Ludogorets.

Oh, no, what I mean is until UEFA say that Welsh clubs must play in the Welsh I cannot see the likes of Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Wrexham, and Merthyr leaving the English league system due to the superior money involved.
I don't think that UEFA has anything to do with that either! I think it's a decision of the Welsh Football Association. If they decide to create thewir own league then UEFA is involved only in deciding if the Welsh league will be accepted as a separate entity like the Scotish League. UEFA does not care about the money involved in the English league unless the "financial fair play" rule is broken.

Yeah, Red Star was the champion of Champions League in 1991. But now situation in this club is very different than that. Yesterday was very uncertain match, but in second leg in Belgrade, I expect big fight, where will Ludogorets win and pass in the play-off.
You must be Bulgarian. Sorry I just don't see it happening. Ludogorets has very little chance of going through.

Yeah, as much as I do like having Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Wrexham, and Merthyr in the English league system I think if all five of those teams joined the Welsh league and the whole system was restructured it would be better for Welsh football on the whole. Unfortunately, I do think it would simply result in an Old Firm effect with Cardiff and Swansea dominating. Then the second tier teams of Newport, Wrexham, and Merthyr with maybe TNS breaking into that group.
The most successful set-up for smaller European nations seems to be a top division of 14-16 teams then a second tier of the same number. It's a shame that I can't see it happening unless UEFA force such a change but it's a legal minefield.
I don't think UEFA has anything to do with it. We had 16 team top division many times in the past. And we are thinking about returning to such a setup due to the economic situation.

Okay, I didn't understand your comment. But either way I'm sure that Ludogorets will win today and in the second leg in Belgrade I expect draw. But we'll see how things will go after tonight's match.
Red Star has a lot heavier brand name than Ludogorets. The 2-2 draw displayed just that. As the saying goes "when the going gets tough, the tough get going". Ludogorets was a threat. And for the Serbs that was a challenge.

I think it's very ambitious prediction, even bookies show differently, you can see the screenshot that I found on twitter @betinasia. Odds on Ludogorets is @1.83 and on Red Star is @4.33. It's clear who is the favorite.
If you read my comment carefully I said that Red Star will advance either on aggregate or on penalties. The first leg is played at Ludogorets home court so it is natural for them to be the favorites to win. I would very well expect a score of 1-0 or 2-1 or 2-0 in favor of Ludogorets today. But I expect the same or higher score on the second leg in favor of Red Star when the match is played in Belgrade.
-
As I see it, as long as your teams continue to play in the English leagues, there will be little change. I think you need to organize your own leagues like Scotland. It should be understood that you can not make the same mistakes Scotland did with Celtic and Rangers.

Ludogorets are a very underrated side on the European stage. Their exploits a couple of years back in the 2013/14 Europa League show how dangerous they can be. They beat the likes of PSV, Dinamo Zagreb, Chornomorets Odessa, and Lazio that season. That was only three campaigns ago.
On a personal note, I was gutted to see Welsh side TNS lose 3-0 to APOEL. Welsh football is in dire need of a team to make some progress on the European stage but unfortunately it won't happen again this season.
All your good players are in England. You should offer them incentives to man the Welsh teams. Excluding Bale (I don't think any Wlesh team could offer 100 million Euros to get him) and Ramsey, you may be able to get some of your good players back if you offer them adequate incentives. Otherwise I can't see how you could do any better.

Previous years in this phase of qualification Ludogorets played with Partizan Belgrade. It's interesting that this year they also play with team from Serbia Red Star. Red Star presented poorly game in the matches with amateur team Valeta. Ludogorets destroyed Mladost Podgorica with 5-0 in both matches. And in this neighbors derby absolutely favorite is Ludogorets, do you agree?
Not really. I think Red Star simply underestimated their opponents. It will be a tough matchup but I believe in the end the Serbians will go through. Either on penalties or on aggregate or on the away goal. I expect one victory for each side.

Got 4 all the way, got the Qrabag qualification but not the victory and lost the Ferencvaros-Partizani all the way. 6 out of 9. Not bad.

Sweltering in Skopje today and conditions will probably slightly favour the hosts, but that is probably the only advantage they might have and it will have cooled down significantly by kick off and if the forecast I saw is 100% correct, there might even be some cloud cover and a slight breeze during the game.
The Macedonian team have struggled in Europe and have not won a game since 2004, that is 16 fixtures (0-6-10), they have mainly been playing teams of a similar level to Dinamo and they are going to have to up the level of their performance to break their duck this evening.
Veteran coach Zlatko Kranjčar is back in charge of Dinamo for a third time and will clearly have a mandate to continue the visitors fine record in the competition and European football in general and to get another share of the huge riches that the Champions League offer for his club.
Over the last decade, Dinamo have qualified for the group stage of the UEFA Cup/Europa League four times, the Champions League three times since 2011-12 including last year, when they beat Arsenal in the group stage and picked up 13.5m €. You get "used" to that kind of money and the club accountants will be looking for more of the same. Of course, they do not need to win today, a point would not be terrible and they would be confident of turning things in their favour next week, but that would put them under a little pressure , everyone knows the value of an away goal and one might be enough to collect the win today. Vardar are a little short handed up top and Dinamo have an amazing UEFA Champions League qualifying road record, being 9-2-0 away from home in the last four years.
The Macedonian league doesn't begin again until next month, the Croatian league re-starts this weekend, so the visitors should be a few weeks further along in terms of fitness and I expect them to win this.

Since you posted the same message elsewhere, I will repeat that you should refrain from using the term "macedonian". There is no such entity and you should use the proper FYROM term.

Germany - France
I am sure that France will beat Germany. France play awesome in this tournament and they destroyed an inconvenient Iceland in previous match. Germany has provided a poor game against Italy, in which a lot emotionally worn down and don't look to me as someone who can beat France. Also, Hummels and Gomez are suspended and Boateng, Khedira and Schweinstenger are doubtful. My tip for this match is win for France and 3+ goals. I'm searching for the odds and on the twitter @BetInAsia , I found @2.77 on the win of France. Do you agree that it's big opportunity for the punters?
I quite disagree. Germany is a matter of Kroos and Ozil. Khedira is usefull but without these 2 there is no brain behind the passes. As long as these 2 are in there is always a strong Germany. Now. Gomez and Hummels are out. So the team will probably be:
Noier
Kimmich, Ector, Howentes and Moustafi in defense
Emre Can (much better than either Khedira or Schweinsteiger for me) Ozil, Kroos, Draxler and Schurlle in midfield
Gotze or Podolski in front.
It still is a very formidable team which these players in! Remember that Germany still has to concede an in-play goal. They have only conceded one and that was from the penalti spot!
I believe it will be a similar setting as with Italy. A draw during regulation and overtime and penalty shoot out.
