Re: Club Friendlies < Tuesday 24th July One friendly that's not on the above list (taken from the 'oddscomparison' site) is Aldershot v QPR. This raised my interest because I know that QPR played the last day of their Asian Tour today with a match in Indonesia. Current best odds: Aldershot 5.0 Draw 4.0 QPR 1.6 Sure enough, the match tomorrow is against a 'QPR Eleven' side - http://www.theshots.co.uk/news/Aldershot85380.ink Although players like Rob Hulse and DJ Campbell are probably a good match for the Aldershot first team. There could be some value backing Aldershot though at 5.0?

Re: Club Friendlies < Tuesday 24th July FC Schalke 04 v AC Milan FC Schalke 04: without Obasi and Höwedes. AC Milan: Ibrahimovic, Silva, van Bommel, Seedorf, Inzaghi, Nesta and Gattuso left the club. Hamburger SV v Barcelona This game is played for the 125th anniversary of the Hamburger SV. Hamburger SV: Sternberg is injured. Barcelona: Tito Vilanova will take to Hamburg the 10 first team players available, Pinto, Alves, Bartra, Muniesa, Dos Santos, Alexis, Messi, Mascherano, Afellay and Adriano, plus 12 B-players.

I'd have to agree mate if this isn't the first team. You could argue that players such as DJ Campbell and Hulse are good enough, but I don't think either have any long term future at Q.P.R. so I can't see either really busting a gut, and I'd assume both don't have a lot of match fitness anyway. I'd say odds around 3 would be fair for aldershot given the circumstances, but Q.P.R. appear to be undervalued here because of their spending power.

Re: Club Friendlies < Tuesday 24th July malbgd, messi dosn't travel to Hamburg. He was injured in training yesterday. http://www.mundodeportivo.com/ ---> Use Google Translator. PD: Sorry for my english.

Re: Club Friendlies < Tuesday 24th July Anyone for Norwich tonight at Celtic Park? They're currently best priced at 15/8 with BlueSq. Celtic have had a poor pre-season so far, being defeated heavily by Ajax last time out. They're still without a pre-season win so far in 4 games. Reading through the fans views and they do not seem all that confident and Celtic player Mark Wilson has come out and said that pre-season isnt all that important - http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/2012/07/24/friendlies-mean-nothing-celtic-had-a-great-pre-season-under-tony-mowbray-and-look-what-happened-says-mark-wilson-86908-23911984/ Interestingly also, these sides had a testimonial for former Norwich centre back Adam Drury in May with the Canaries coming out on top that time also.

[Jase82]

If Norwich weren't away I'd agree.... I think Celtic have had defensive issues pre season, and need to make signings in that department. Norwich are pretty much the same, with Chris hughton looking to sign a central defender. Maybe goals are an option.

Re: Club Friendlies < Tuesday 24th July Does anyone have any insight or news on Schalke ahead of their match with Milan tonight? I see they have played a couple of friendlies already while Milan have only had the trofeo TIM run out. Milan looked very lethargic on that night and they are still missing a few key players (Mexes, Abate, Nocerino, Monto, Cassano). The squad certainly doesn't look all that - http://www.rossoneriblog.com/2012/07/23/schalke-milan-the-rossoneri-squad/ Pace is at a premium in that defence, so if Schalke have pace in key areas that could be key. Anyway Schalke are now well inside 2.00 so any value could have already been lost. Still, any thoughts on the home side would be appreciated - I would look to oppose that Milan.

[ultravires]

Re: Club Friendlies < Tuesday 24th July An early-ish pick could be Chelsea to beat Milan on the 28th July. Milan will obviously play in Germany tonight and then presumably travel to Miami right away. They will play at 18.00 local time, but it may well still be hot and humid. Chelsea will have already trained and played one match in the USA. Currently 13/10 with Bwin, and could be worth monitoring.
