Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August Hajduk @ 1.95 10bet 10bet will soon realise their mistake and i expect these odds to drop to 1.60-1.65 in few days. This is a historical chance for Hajduk to reach EL group stage and they got one of the easiest opponents(considering that CSKA, Leverkusen and PSG were in the same pot as Unirea). Unirea in a real mess, owner left the club, clubs president also and some players might do the same in the next few days. Hajduk will again be pushed with 30000 fanatic fans from the stands and you could see against Dinamo Bucharest how important that is. Going strong on this one as i can see big value in home win.

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August Celtic @1.72 Celtic should win it easy.They beat Braga at home last time and shouldn't have problems againts limited Utrecht squad.Utrecht usualy strong at home but not so good away and with busy shedule i see them being tired as they don't have much players to rotate.Celtic should be around @1.40 so i'm happy to take thi sprice. GL :ok

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August Dnipro @1,5 Dnipro should easy win this match. Lech has a lot of problems with squad, defender Bosacki is injury and can't play also Gancarczyk yesterday wos injuried and probably not play with Dnipr. Lech in last match against Arka played badly and all the match they dont't give a shot on goal. They have a serious problem with attack and now also with defence. I don't see a chance for Lech, Dnipro is very good and rich team. I think odds 1,5 is value.

[Mahno]

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August Dnipro -1.5AH @2.45 bet365 Dnipro is a hot favorit here.They are much better then Lech who is in big troubles lately and keep loosing matches in Europe not only away but at home too.Dnirpo should win this match but the question remains how many can they score.Dnipro finaly lost their 1st match in domestic league to Metalist but i'm sure they will take this match very seriously.Lech will try to hold to draw so Dnipro may find it hard to score.

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August Dnipro -1.5AH @2.45 >Bet365 10/10 Dnipro -2.5AH @4.80 >Bet365 5/10 Lads, this one is easier than picking money from a pavement. I don't know why Lech sucks so much this season, but they do. They are unable to score a single goal, they were horrible yesterday against relegation candidates Arka. Lech has some problems in defence, midfield and attack. The biggest problem is that they sell their best players and do not buy any decent replacements, so they will have to pay for that. A straight walk down the park for Dnipro, I guess they'll put 4 at least against these retards. Bet365 offers @10.0 for a win by 4 goals, so probably will go for that, too. Cheers and good luck! :cheers

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August B. Dortmund - Qarabag Qarabag showed a really good performance during first 3 Europa League rounds and managed to score 12 goals in 6 games. We are in a very good form after playing 7 competitive games (including 1 in Azeri League). Bundesliga season hasn't started yet and Dortmund played only friendleis and a cup game against Burghausen (3rd League), which they won 3-0. Also I checked B. Dortmund website and they underestimate Qarabag and make statements like "we will qualify", meaning they will be palying relax hoping for an easy win, and I'm sure we will surprise them with a at least one goal.

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August Junuzovic, Baumgartlinger, Jun are all carrying knocks for Austria Vienna. Coach reckons they will all start but I can't imagine they will if they do be risk for the whole game. Probably used as subs. (All 3 first teamers) Stankovic has returned from metacarpel injury though which is very good news for Vienna. He scored 2 goals in the Cup match over the weekend. The coach only has the 2 games vs Jagiellonia to go by to analyze Aris. Which he has on DVD. When asked what he has learnt he responded "He is now well informed with how they play".

[willie82]

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August I need to do a bit of research but on the face of it AEK Athens look a great price at 5/4 to beat Dundee Utd. AEK have got some very good results in Europe in the last few years and for me should be far to strong for Dundee Utd. Even their manager Peter Houston said "thank god the first leg is at home or the tie would most probably be well and truly over" not exactly confidence boosting. I think AEK will hope to get at least 1 maybe 2 and the tie will be over as Athens is a very hard place to go and get a result especially for a average team like Utd.

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August Aris-Austria Beşiktaş-Hjk are on 17th.

[El Ninyo]

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August Beşiktaş-Hjk Beşiktaş are my favorites to win the Turkish Super League this season. They have a great squad. Their slightly weak part is the lack of ability of the strikers. So now they try to sign a good striker. If they do so, Beşiktaş would be a very powerful team among Europe. But for this match the existing strikers should be enough. I don't know much about Helsinki but even they are the leaders Beşiktaş will be too strong for them. Beşiktaş should win this match without problems and I think they can only struggle if they are unlucky with the last touch to make the goal. Also they have some missings including the goal keeper Hakan(injured) Delgado(Banned) Sivok(injured) Toraman(injured). But as I said before their squad is capable of replacing those. I can see a match of 90 minutes that is played near the penalty box of Hjk. Probable line up with my thoughts on player abilities -------------------------Cenk(9/10)-------------------------------- Ekrem(7/10)-----Ferrari(8/10)----Zapotocny(7.5/10)-----İbrahim(7/10) ----------------Ernst(7.5/10)-------Necip(9/10)---------------------- Holosko(7.5/10) ----------Guti(8.5/10)-----------Quaresma(8.5/10)---- ----------------------------Bobo(7/10)------------------------------- Beşiktaş@ 1.2 Betsson Beşiktaş win to nil @ 1.6 Betsson

Good post. The only Dinamo chance is that a Gyoer is probably bad too..and return is in Zagreb..Dinamo is a bigger team than Hungarians but anything could happened.

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August @ Mahno: how would you rate the chances of Karpaty Lviv's chances against Galatasaray? I think the odds for the home win are extremely poor. Can Portugese experts tell us a bit more about the squad from Porto that will travel to Genk? Are they taking this cup serious and how is their current form? At the moment Genk is in big shape but playing against Porto something else of course..

Good luck with this bet, but I will stay away from this match. OK, Dinamo has serious problems, but still, we are talking about a Hungarian team, and Hungarian teams are very poor. Győr started the Hungarian League with 4 points out of 3 matches. On Friday they lost 2-1 to Vasas Budapest with a terribleperformance. No bet for me, Good Luck for you!

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August

Sport	Football (Europa League)
Event	Besiktas - HJK
Selection	Over 2.5 goals
Strength	10/10
Date	17/08/2010
Bookmaker/Price	Expekt @ 1.69
Reasoning	While HJK is the leader of finnish Veikkausliiga the quality between these teams is huge; Besiktas being the one with more quality ofcourse. HJK played in Champions league qualifications and lost both of the away games. First 1-0 against poor Lithuanian Ekranas and than 3-0 against Patrtizan. Today's opponent Besiktas should be rated tougher than both of those teams and the outlook for HJK ain't good. The visitors also have some huge misses for this game: Medo (midfielder), Aki Riihilahti (midfielder), Janne Saarinen (midfield) and Mathias Lindström (defender). Three of the latter are injured (Lindtröm long term, hasn't played this season) and the most important man missing is definetely Medo. I expect an easy win for Besiktas but the -2 hc odds are too low for my taste. Taking the over2.5 goals, also not great odds but who knows; maybe HJK will get one goal also :D

@ Mahno: how would you rate the chances of Karpaty Lviv's chances against Galatasaray? I think the odds for the home win are extremely poor. ..

Don't think we will win that but also i don't think Galatasaray will score alot.Turkish teams always have problems with Ukrainian clubs.Last year almost all Turkish clubs were knocked out by ukrainians clubs.We have strong miedfeild and good defence,so far we won all 4 matches in Europa.Our striker Kuznecov is back from loan and he is good.Also it will give coach chance to rotate squad.No bets for me yet...

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August Announced line up -------------------------Cenk---------------------------- Ekrem--------Zapotochy-------Ferrari-------- İsmail------- --------------Hilbert------------ Ernst-------------------- Quaresma----------------Guti----------------Tabata------ -------------------------Bobo---------------------------- I think that only hot prospect Necip Uysal that was in my probable lineup will be a miss. I would rate the GK as 9/10 I would rate the defence as 7.5/10 I would rate the defensive midfielders as 7/10 I would rate the attacking midfielders as 8.5/10 I would rate the striker as 7/10

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August Besiktas 2-0 HJK FT The home side controlled the game totally, as expected. And after the 1-0 goal they pretty much played it like it was a friendly; very slow pace just controlling the game. Still unlucky to not hit the over 2.5 goals mark as HJK had two great chances also. One breakaway and one umm.. *half*breakway. Both times the striker froze totally though and no real danger for Besiktas side. Also HJK should have had a penalty as a Besiktas player tackled a HJK player from behind in the box and the ball was nowhere near at that point. The referee pussied out and pointed that Besiktas player infact hit the ball :lol Bad bet anyways, totally overestimated Besiktas' offense: they didnt really push for many goals tonight :\

@ Mahno: how would you rate the chances of Karpaty Lviv's chances against Galatasaray? I think the odds for the home win are extremely poor. Can Portugese experts tell us a bit more about the squad from Porto that will travel to Genk? Are they taking this cup serious and how is their current form? At the moment Genk is in big shape but playing against Porto something else of course..

Porto started the season very well, they won the supercup 2x0 against benfica with a good exibithion. On the past weekend started the league with a away win against Naval, 1x0. In that game Porto was bad in 1st half but in the 2nd half was in total controle and create a lot of chances to score, although only get a goal in a penalty with five minutes to the end. This year the top goal for Porto is get back the league title but also has great expectations in this competition. Porto is a regular presence in Champions League and always getting trough the groups so in Europe League the team hopes at least reach the quarter-finals. And I remember that the last time Porto play Uefa Cup/Europa League (2002/2003) won it. Porto has some absences, Guarin and C. Rodriguez are out after injuries in last game, James Rodriguez is still without the international certificate. Meireles and Fucile are both out and probably they'll leave the club. This year Porto is a stronger team and although they lost Bruno Alves, and Meireles and Fucile are being out to prevent injuries that put in risk a transfer, they get good replacements. And specially on midfield and attack Porto has a lot of quality, not only the starters but everybody. Hulk, Varela, Falcao, Moutinho, Belluschi, Micael, Fernando, Souza, Walter, Castro, Ukra... a lot of options just for 3 places om the midle and more 3 up front. Genk seems very well and improved a lot since last year but of course Porto is the favorite. Porto like to keep the ball with a passing game but is also very strong in transition, know very well when push or slow the game. With teams that play very closed in deffense Porto has some troubles but against teams who play at attack and give space, and Genk seems to be like that, Porto is deadly. As a Porto fan I wont bet but with those odds I dont see much value. Maybe the best is wait for the live and the first minutes to see how the teams face the game.

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August

Beşiktaş@ 1.2 Betsson WON Beşiktaş win to nil @ 1.6 Betsson WON

Hjk had only one position at the extra time (was a penalty position). I think someone treatened them not to pass the midfield and go attacking. None of the players left their own half in the match. Other than their defensive abilities they were one of the worst teams that I watched in near time. Beşiktaş did not push theirselves and got an easy result.

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August Wah,wah,wah...Metalist @3.25 :eek Looks like bookies forgot what Metalist did 2 years ago in UEFA.They were winning every single match and only lost in quater final to Dynamo Kiev.They didn't shine much last year but with new signings they will be picking up a bit again i think.Metalist have big problem with fixed match at the moment but i don't think it will make them loose easy.No disresepct but Cyprus clubs are not match to Ukrainians and i don't see why they have to be favorite.i'm going safe with Metalist +0.5AH @1.65 bet365.

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday 19th August

So' date=' any Celtic supporters will provide us with local info?How important is Europa to Celtic and what team will play on Thursday.I took them already just need some sort of reinsurance pls.:ok[/quote'] Hi mate, don't have much time will try and do a full write-up tomorrow. Europa League is very important to Celtic. After getting knocked out of CL it is imperative to go through and it would be disastrous to go out for financial and footballing reasons and Celtic will be playing the strongest team available and we could really use a run in this competition to boost our coefficient. I was considering backing Celtic myself but Gary Hooper who looks like he will be our main goalscorer is going to be out for 6 weeks which is a blow. New Swedish centre-half Daniel Majstorovic should go straight into replace Jos Hooiveld who is apparently suspended. We should win this game, we have made some decent signings and have the makings of a decent team once all the new players gel and with our away record we pretty much have to win to have any chance you'd think. The game is also not going to be broadcast on TV in an attempt to get as big a crowd as possible, not sure what standard Utrecht will be, 7th in Eredivisie last season but Celtic can't take any European team lightly these days. We should take a lead to Holland.

Dortmund interviews Weidenfeller: "We did learn from our past international matches that we have to play calm and carefully. We shall not go for full risk in offense as we have two matches to qualify to the next round. All guys are excited, but cannot wait for the match and we own enough quality to beat our opponent." Nuri Sahin: "It will be a difficult match, but I am confident that we can be successful." Coach Klopp: "The bad news are: This guys - our opponents can play real football. But as we can play football as well, we think, we can solve this task in a successful way. The pressure in the play offs is high, we won against Burghausen but did not convince 100%. Still if we compare our performance to the other Bundesliga clubs we are doing well for the status of our season." The aim for Dortmund is clear. They want to win. No question, as they work one year to reach this competition. "It is a great story and despite the weather&late kick off we hope that many, many fans will support us." To make it even more clear:" We play in Europa League. The lights are on, the stadium is open - all simply have to be here."

Both teams to score is probably best bet because Dinamo's defense is awful but there's Sammir who is in great form and Rukavina who seems to score regularly, as you mentioned before. Both teams to score 1,75 @ local bookie Stake: 8/10
