Ukraine 2014-2015

[Fedar]

Ukraine Super Cup Final: Shakhtar - Dinamo Kyiv. Game is played in Lviv (Western Ukraine). Odds on Dinamo fastly dropping, but still some good prices can be caught. Six Shakhtar players yesterday refused to fly back to Ukraine - http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/six-shakhtar-donetsk-players-refuse-3887302 These are all key and important players. In addition, situation in Shakhtar is deteriorating and uncertain. They cannot play in Donetsk their games. Their owner Rinat Ahmetov is outside of the country for months, and his business is seriously threatened after the Maidan and the events in Ukraine, as Russia is his major supplier and market for his products. There are even many rumors that he is financing the rebels in East Ukraine. All in all, what matters for us bettors is that situation with Shakhtar is very uncertain and it is not known whether and when their owner will return in Ukraine and if he is going to continue financing the team. Dinamo @ 2.1 (Marathon)

Going to give this a shot, unfortunate events in the Ukraine I may add. Cheers.

Very sad for Shakhtar as well. They played incredibly attractive and beautiful footie - the best I have seen from an Eastern European team.

Is this match still being played at Shakhtar's home ground in Donetsk?

Only saw this thread now: No way mate, Shaktar's matches will all be taking place 150 miles north of Donetsk for the coming season. But seeing this is the Super Cup, it'll be at a neutral venue anyway. The situation is that 5 Brazilians and an Argentine stayed in France after a friendly with Lyon and refuse to return to Donetsk. You can't blame them really. Apparently from reports I've read, these 6 are most of their best players ("big stars") and make them the dangerous fluid side they are as Fedar stated above that they play attractive football with flair. The prices have been plummeting but 24 hours ago I was able to get "Dinamo to lift the trophy" on at Marathon for a decent stake @ 1.74. Think it's 1.50-1.59 now. Would of posted sooner if I knew of this thread. However there's still a good price out. Draw no bet and AH +0 on Kiev are best priced around 1.33 and dropping. However Interwetten (German book) has left 1.50 up without moving the price. However they limit bets to 100 EUR on that bet. In my opinion that represents value as I can't see Shaktar winning in 90 with their best players out and who knows the mentality of the rest. They must have bigger issues to worry about. Quotes coming from the Shaktar owner are "we will try to make the match hard for our opponents" - hardly inspiring confidence of a victory. another quote is "those players who deserted the team will suffer financially if they do not return to the club" and "their safety will be guaranteed". So this guy is trying to sound like a Mafia boss. In the current situation nothing can be "guaranteed" and the players are probably scared. Hopefully the situation there is resolved sooner rather than later.

Re: Ukraine 2014-2015 Pinnacle still has this at 1,917. Surprisingly good, I took it (7/10)! 3 of those Brazilians were starters in the Cup final: Douglas Costa (27/4) are said to be in negotiations with AS Monaco, while Fred (23/2) and Alex Teixeira (27/6) had been the backbones of the midfield in the league for Shakhtar and were all stable CL players, too. Dynamo Kiev beat them in the cup final when they still had these Brazilians and the last time Shakhtar lost a Ukrainian Super Cup final it was against D. Kiev.

It's being played in Lviv

Re: Ukraine 2014-2015 Is there any reason why odds seem to be drifting on Dynamo Kiev? Possibly just people aren't aware of Shakthar's situation and backing them anyway?

Re: Ukraine 2014-2015 27.07.2014 Hello, today first forecast we made on the championship of Ukraine. Recall the 2013/14 season 75 picks +240 profit +63% yield Hoverla - Karpaty If you ask me to recommend you a iron stake on Sunday, then I will answer immediately, put on Karpaty Asian Handicap -0,25. Hoverla this summer has lost 80% of its primary structure. The team did not become stronger in this offseason. And, apparently, at the beginning of the Premier League this team would fail. Due to financial problems left more than half of the most important players. If you take part of the spring season, the optimal composition of Hoverla only three or four guys. Designed to replace the departed mostly young, who just will need the support of experienced players, which left very few. The leader's role will take the same Maksim Shatskikh, who last season was held in the shadow of his teammates. Now the importance of veteran increases significantly. In general, Hoverla very bad. Coach frankly do not know how the team will play in the championship. Reason for leaving many artists lies primarily in the inability of the owner of the team to ensure a stable financial future. Future very foggy. Karpaty have every chance to beat them today. First, the team go to Uzhgorod (Lviv and Uzhgodskaya areas are in the western part of Ukraine). So Karpaty provided significant support to the stadium. Secondly, Karpaty spent this summer is much quieter. Balanced team preparing for the new season. Does not have the problems like Goverla. You know, the situation in Goverla reminds me of a situation in which Karpaty were at the beginning of last season. Then the team left the amount of the principal performers in Premier, well made. It seemed that one of the main contenders for relegation. But just then the club relied on professional head coach, which was a drop of time to put together a team of young guys. Relevant conclusions coach did after each game, and by the middle of the season and Karpaty began to show a cool football. Ultimately, coach ensured Karpaty in the midd table. Although initially Lviv no hope aroused. Played very bad. Karpaty, of course, not a grand Ukrainian football, but a team that must win Goverla. Karpaty fit for the new season in a good mood.Coach Sevidov Alexander remained in place. So, wait for the previous fit , which clearly will not fight for survival, but for, the top eight. In this situation, I think it would be logical to put against Goverla. The team lost 80% of the principal players and would almost certainly be considered a top contender for relegation (of course along with Olympique Donetsk). Karpaty -0.25 AH @ 1.77 188Bet ------------------------------------------------------------- Dinamo Kiev - Vorskla Poltava Oleg Meydanovych Babayev was a Ukrainian politician and an owner of two professional football clubs in the Poltava Oblast. In 2010, he was elected Mayor of Kremenchuk. Babayev was shot dead on July 26, 2014. According to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, he was killed in his car in front of his house when an unidentified person fired three shots from a gun with a silencer from another car. What's the conection with the match Dinamo Kiev - Vorskla Potlava? That Oleg Babayev was also president of Vorskla. Not in the sense of head, but in terms of the sponsor, which included paying salaries of team of his own pocket. Vorskla, what will happen next - is unknown. This uncertainty be passed players, because now they do not know what will happen next - whether the money paid, would not delay, etc. In short, Vorskla players simply do not know what lies ahead, and this situation does not add motivation. In general, a good team Vorskla Poltava, talented players, coach last season did a good job. But this event greatly changes the point. In addition, Dinamo will play their home games in their own stadium, than so far in Ukraine can boast not all teams. The composition of Kiev certainly at times better, so need only motivation. And will be with Kiev, and probably it will be a problem for Vorskla Poltava. Last season, Dinamo in 7 of the 15 home games won 2 goals or larger, but if we ignore the matches against Shakhtar and Dnipro, then we have 7 out of 13, which is more than half. I believe Dinamo Kiev win with minimum 2 goals difference. Dinamo (- 1.5 ) AH @ 2.05 188Bet
