StevieDay1983 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 The draw for the 2016/17 Europa League Quarter Finals was made earlier today and it provided some tough ties for us punters. The bookies might suggest favourites in all four first leg matches but there is more than meets the eye in a few of these match-ups. @delfino, @KikoCy, @giraldi, @Icongene, @dogmeister, @rangers234, @ElPrincipito007, @KingSoccertips, @vasilli07, @betcatalog, @immortal--, @DW_United, @discipline, @WinningAdvice, and @CloughandTaylor, you all had some fair points to make on the previous round of action. What are your thoughts here? Right now, if I had to make calls on the outcomes of the games I would back a draw between Ajax and Schalke... maybe a draw no bet for Schalke, draw no bet for Man Utd away in Anderlecht as well, Celta Vigo to beat Genk (but I think Genk will be tough to beat and could sneak it over two legs), and then Lyon to beat Besiktas. immortal-- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giraldi Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Tough decision to be made indeed, to not bet included. I am very disappointed I lost one of my three favourites – Roma (2 remains Ajax and Anderlecht) At first sight, without any closer information, what to say? Schalke has some problems with only few points over relegation zone and 2 games against 2 “colleagues” just around the EL game against Ajax. Ajax stays OK and has full power activated for the finish anyway just few points behind Feyenoord . If Ajax beat Feyenoord on 2nd April will also beat Shalke. Anderlecht, another team on very good shape against a team that does not feel very well. But here the last word has KikoCy. I will back Anderlecht anyway We can say that Genk and Celta finished the problems in their leagues so all the attention is on CL. A kind of lottery in my opinion so if I will bet I will choose the better price. Genk @6.00 is very good I have no idea about Lyon-Besiktas but the odds 1.53 I do not like. Depends what I will find until middle of April I will take my decision. Anyway 6.50 is huge. Lyon is not a super team at the moment ( au contraire ) and Besiktas is not a small nor easy team … StevieDay1983 and Gidds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieDay1983 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 As these games draw ever closer, do any of you guys have any thoughts on what to back? I really think Manchester United are worth backing away from home to win. Anderlecht will be tough but this is the sort of game where I can see Mourinho getting his side to grind out a draw or even a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icongene Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I think Man U are sadly going to win it but there's fcuk all value in them at this stage outright (sitting around 2.10). Im looking at the rest of the pack I'm tempted to back Celta at 7s. They've got a favourable draw and seem to have given up on La Liga and decided Europe is the goal. Remember they can still claim a Champions League spot here and that must be a HUGE motivator. They play in a good league and have already put out one of the favourites in Shakhtar. They went to Russia too and put in a very professional performance so I like them on a small stake outright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthethings Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I will probably be on Anderlecht to win, FWIW. Home dogs are undervalued in KOs in this competition...I'm sure that Man Utd would approach the return leg the same whether the first match finishes 1-1 or 1-0. To me the wild card is Ibra. They didn't have the likes of him before. Last year they lost away to Midtyjjand and Liverpool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their full focus is on the Europa League now. I think they know deep down that a top four finish is not realistic any more. They are arguably the strongest side left in the Europa League so it's a great opportunity to earn Champions League football next season. I'm expecting a strong line-up and strong showing from United tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
