Jase82 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Re: UEFA Europa League » 2009-2010 ( 23 July ) FT score was only 2-0, but 5-0 would give much better idea what was going on on the pitch. Bangor must feel lucky to still have a slight chance after being run over completely. However I choose not to bet, cause for Honka getting through is far more important than winning, and last year at UEFA cup they succeeded losing to an icelandic team of the same quality as Bangor. I see that as you suggest Honka could have had the game well and truly sewn up in the 1st leg because they had over 15 attempts on goal, compared to Bangor's 4.... However, this would suggest that as I suspect, this fixture is between two very poor sides and Honka are just not good enough in front of goal. If this is anything like the game last night between Bohemians and Salzburg, where Salburg were huge favourites I wouldn't be too confident. Two very poor sides battling it out. The only difference being that one side is made favourite and therefor plays higher up the pitch and has more posession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week, Vaduz dominated for most of the game and they certainly showed they are no pushovers. As much as I would love to see Falkirk win this, I can't see it happening. Vaduz are a physical side and will pose a huge threato to Falkirks youngsters from set pieces. As I said they were very unfortunate not to get at least a draw last week but they should put things correct back on home turf tonight. Most bookmakers have Falkirk around 7/4 but I am happy to lay at 9/4 as imo they are 3/1+ shots looking at how the game last week panned out.

Puntteri Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Re: UEFA Europa League » 2009-2010 ( 23 July ) puntteri what is your opinion on hjk are vetra a strong team no idea really about Vetra, only seen the match reports and I guess the odds are about set right. ------ And now that i finally checked the odds I took a small punt on Vetra with a 1.25 handicap, which is under these circumstances a huge handicap at least with the price of 2.25 available at sbobet. Only qualifying is important, not winning all legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase82 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Re: UEFA Europa League » 2009-2010 ( 23 July ) In going with the theme of sides that are superior to their opponents and steamrollered the first leg, I have my first pick. FC Gandzasar Kapan v NAC Breda - 1, -1.5 @ 1.65 NAC won the first leg 6-0 and they now travel to Armenia to face minnows Gandzascar, who are a fresh side in Armenian football having only been founded in 2004 and only gained promotion to the top Armenian league in 2006. This is their debut outing in European football. I think the gulf in class was clear for all to see in the first leg and I would have expected the line to be set at atleast -2. Expected lineup for NAC is as follows; Ten Rouwelaar; Snoyl, Zwaanswijk, Loran, Fehér; Schilder, Gilissen, De Graaf; Lurling, Amoah, Cairo. The only changes from the first leg is Ferne Snoyl, who will make his debut in place of Kees Kwakman having only recently signed from RKC Waalwijk. Patrick Zwaanswijk returns to the starting lineup after missing the 1st leg. Finnish international winger Joonas Kolkaa is the only other player to miss out from the 1st leg. Following on from the theme of superior sides that are comfortably ahead in their tie. HB Tórshavn v AC Omonia Nicosia -1, -1.5 @ 1.77 HB Torshavn are the Faroe Islands most successful and oldest football club having been formed in the early part of the last century. They have only ever won 3 times in European competition having played 32 games. Omonia on the other hand are a progressive side who only missed out on the Cypriot Premier league title by 5 points, in a season where they conceded only 18 goals. I think it's fair to say that Cypriot football has improved greatly over the last few years. I think the class difference is again very clear to see between Omonia Nicosia and the amateur side from the Faroe Islands. I am unsure of the exact team news because I don't speak Greek or Iclandic :lol But, I am confident that Omonia will win comfortably. They could and should have scored more in the 1st leg. Their efforts on goal reached at least 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase82 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Re: UEFA Europa League » 2009-2010 ( 23 July ) Another bet I like the look of following the same path as previously. Vllaznia v SK Rapid Wien - 0.5, -1 @ 1.64 Rapid won the 1st leg 5-0 courtesy 4 2nd half goals and now travel to Albania for the 2nd leg with a complete compliment of players. I think that this represents a bit of value as I expected the line to be slightly higher. Vllaznia have virtually no chance of qualifying. Rapid to win by at least one is extremely pobable. Rapid are fresh from a morale boosting 1-0 friendly win over Liverpool on Sunday. Vllaznia only narrowly knocked out Sligo Rovers in the last round and now surely have come up against a far superior side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase82 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Re: UEFA Europa League » 2009-2010 ( 23 July ) Next up..... FC Vaduz @ 2.5 v Falkirk This is a tentative selection, and I'm throwing all sentiment out the window. I was considering taking Draw no bet, but I've chosen to go for the straight home win. I think I mentioned in an earlier thread how poor Falkirk are. They have a new manager this season and barely escaped relegation from the Scottish Premier League on the last day of the last season. They qualified for the Europa league through coming as runner up in the domestic cup. Whilst taking nothing away from the achievment of Falkirk, when a competition that has only two great sides competing in it, in the form of Rangers and Celtic, it tends to devalue the competition. Their win in the 1st leg was rather a fortunate one, but should still be applauded. I'm not quite sure how FC Vaduz came to qualify for the Europa league as they were relegated last season, being the worse team in the Swiss Premier league. Despite that, I'm still picking them to just about sneak it because of the notorious poor travelling record of Scottish sides in Europe. Mark Stewart and Neil McCann are the only absentees for Falkirk, but neither played the 1st leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5-0 loss against Basel was inevitable, but I can't explain the loss against Lustenau in their last two friendlies....Are they Liechenstein opposition? Under 2.5 is probably a good call. Also, I think they've signed a few players since then. Notably Franz Bergmeier who played in England for Darlington and plays for Liechenstein. He's a pretty decent winger by all accounts. Not sure if he plays today, but he played the 1st leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite sure how FC Vaduz came to qualify for the Europa league as they were relegated last season, being the worse team in the Swiss Premier league. . FC Vaduz is a Lichtenstein football team from Vaduz, but playing in the Swiss football system. After the Cup Winners' Cup was abolished, Vaduz have annually entered the Uefa cup as a result of winning the Liechtenstein cup 37 times, by virtue of being the only full-time professional football team in the country. However, they have never got past the qualifying rounds to date. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont bet against them...im not backing them because odds are too small, maybe backing in a combo. Paços is a good team, they have some quality players and the club´s budget for the season is 2.5Million against poor Zimbru with only 350.000m. They are playing in Guimaraes, 20km from Paços de Ferreira, so no big diference. They played well in Chisinau, a clear penalty wasn´t awarded, i believe Paços will go forward.

Jase82 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Re: UEFA Europa League » 2009-2010 ( 23 July ) Word on Motherwell v Flamutari. BBC sport reports that several Flamutari "officials" will not travel to Scotland because they have been denied visas. What they mean by officials I am not sure about. However the price of 1.33 for a straight Motherwell win is rediculous. Both sides are very poor. Motherwell lost 9 first team players during the close season and appointed Jim Gannon as the new team manager. They are clearly not as good a side as they were a year or so ago. I m also concerned at the really low odds on Over 2.5 goals. There are no stats to back up the odds. It's very suspicious from my point of view, so I think there will be quite a few goals in this game and that Motherwell will win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
