Bayern Munich v Spartak Moscow H
Chelsea v Werder Bremen H

AC Milan v AEK Athens H
Anderlecht v Lille H
Dynamo Kiev v Steaua Bucuresti H
FC Copenhagen v Benfica A
FC Porto v CSKA Moscow D
Hamburg v Arsenal A
Lyon v Real Madrid A
Man Utd v Celtic H

[nicK]

i'm thinking psv are good value at around 2/1 against liverpool tonight..
other than that, the three big teams (barca, bayern and chelsea all at home) will fit nicely into a treble for just over 2/1..

Chucky the tree

Valencia away at Olympiacos at 2.7 is worth a flutter.

Also Werder Bremen +1 @ 2.28

stepbar

Here's my bet for tonite / tomorrow

Chelsea v Werder Bremen Werder Bremen +1.0 9 - 5
Hamburg v Arsenal Arsenal 8 - 5
Man Utd v Celtic Man Utd 3 - 10
Barcelona v Levski Sofia Barcelona 1 - 10
Bayern Munich v Spartak Moscow Bayern Munich 4 - 11
Lyon v Real Madrid Real Madrid 17 - 10
PSV Eindhoven v Liverpool PSV Eindhoven 13 - 8

€20 stake = €2012.28

Celtic, Liverpool, Real and chelsea all to win is about 3.27

tinofapples

I have €40 double on Arsenal & Celtic to record home wins tonight.

Returning €90.

Glenbhoy

I hope I'm wrong, but I think Celtic may struggle for the win tonight. They're certainly not value at 4/7 imo.

Pighead

Just a sneaky double for Pighead tonight.

Celtic v Fc Copenhagen: Good win for Celtic on Saturday against Rangers but in my opinion Rangers are poor this season and will struggle to finish 2nd. I'm gonna go for Copenhagen +1 tonight @ 5/4. They're a decent team, top of their league, unbeaten in 5 games and better still are unbeaten in their last 9 European away games. And don't forget they beat Ajax in the qualifiers to reach the group stages. Hopefully Vennegoor of Hesselink will be mising tonight. Gronkjaer missing for Copenhagen but Marcus Allbeck is back.

Benfica V Man Utd: Reckon United @ 11/10 can sneak a victory in Portugal tonight. Ronaldos in great form at the moment and will be eager to impress in front of his home audience. Benfica have started poorly this season and their only victory has come against 3rd from bottom Nacional.

Bet= Win Double---Fc Copenhagen(+1)@5/4 & Man Utd@11/10
3.7/1
Good Luck to All.

Pighead

Winner Not Alright, Winner Not Alright.
United win but Celtic deservedly beat the dopey Danes to scupper the Tuesday Night Bet. Damn that Kenny Miller. Can't score for love nor money then suddenly he's got 2 in 3 days. Whats his problem.

Hey, I don't think we should post on the other thread 'this weeks champions league'
as we might as well stick with this for the whole year, i won about 35 from 250 tonight, which was pretty much secure would have won big time if either aek or milan won

Tomorrow:
Single: Levski V Chelsea
Chelsea@1.4 stake 201euro return 281euro

Triple
Chelsea,Liv,PSV Stake 30euro return 231.44euro

3 Triples
Chelsea,Liv,(Sporting/Roma/Bayern) stake 7euro each return 42/61/60euro

Fivefold Che,Bayern,Sporting,Roma,Liverpool stake 2 return 130euro


Total stake= 254
Potential return = 805.44
Gauranteed return if chelsea win 280

Chelsea lose = bust,

What do ya think?

Had a good few doubles and trebles that came good for me so I'm happy.

Made a few Euros last night so now we'll have to look at tonights games.

Hard to see Chelsea fly back with anything other than a win. 2/5
Spatak Moscow to beat Sporting Lisbon @ 11/10

€50 on these will return €147 .

I think that's what I will do but will have to do a bit of reading before I place it.

Jimmy81

Had a Celtic/Manu double last night, so tonight im gonna do the following:

Accumulator:
Chelski 1/3
Barca evs
Valencia 10/11
Liverpool 4/11

I had €40 on Spartak Moscow and Valencia.

No joy.

Just done a double for tonight.
Bayer Leverkuson HT-FT V Sion(Swiss League) @ Evens. The Germans only managed a draw in the 1st leg so hopefully tonight they'll come out all guns blazing and stuff the swiss.

PSG HT-FT V Derry @8/13. Hope I'm wrong but I reckon the Frenchies will win cosily enough tonight.

Rangers V Molde@1/4. Rangers 0-0 from the 1st leg. Must win tonight and they'r eplaying a team called MOLDE so enough said really.

Treble=3/1

CSKA Moscow v Arsenal A
Celtic v Benfica H
Dynamo Kiev v Lyon A
FC Porto v Hamburg H
Lille v AEK Athens H

Steaua Bucuresti v Real Madrid A



I'll probable do a mixture of singles and doubles based on the above.

Q

Pighead

Porto V Hamburg @ 5/6--Bet of the night for Pighead. Very happy with the 5/6 on offer. Portos recent form is pretty good and they lie top of their domestic league having won 7 drawn 1 and lost only twice (Once against Arsenal) in their last 10 games. Porto lie 3rd in the group and this really is a must win game.

Hamburg on the other hand are struggling desperately and lie 2nd bottom in the Bundesliga. They haven't managed a win in their last 10 games(5 Loss,5 Draws)! The clincher for me is they are missing Reinhardt, Kompany and Jaroliman and most importantly the excellent Van Der Vaart. Porto jave no injury worries although Boswinga is suspended.

Man Utd V FCK @1/2 HT-FT: Fancy Utd to go out all guns blazing tonight and hopefully get an early goal or two before taking off their big guns in the 2nd half and shutting up shop.They play Liverpool on Sunday so I'm sure Fergie will want this wrapped up by HT. Only danger is FCK are a very defensive side and will be playing with lots of bodies back. But hopefully the combination of Giggs and Ronaldo will be more than enough to combat this.

Cardiff V Southampton @ 5/6: Cardiff are having a great season and lie on top of the Championship table. They are quite simply on fire at the moment. In their last 4 games they've beaten Palace away 2-1 Southend away 3-0, Wolves at home 4-0 and Luton at home 4-1.Thats 13 goals for and 2 against.

Southampton on the other hand are starting to struggle after a decent start to the season. They've lost their last 2 games and have dropped down to 10th place, 10 points behind Cardiff. More importantly they're without 2 of their best players tonight and I'm gonna go with Cardiff to continue their impressive run.(Belmadi and Skacel)

Steau V Real Madrid @5/6--I'm also gonna take Real Madrid tonight @ 5/6 even after their terrible performance on Saturday when losing to Getafe. They play Steau who were well beaten(3-0) by Lyon last time out. Steau are missing defender Nesu, captain Radoi and striker Iacob and I'm hoping Capello will have Madrid ready to steal all 3 points tonight. Still though I'd treat this fixture with care as Madrid are pretty patchy at the minute.

Pigheads Tuesday Trebles:
10 Points: Porto, Man Utd HT-FT, Cardiff @ 4.04/1

10 Points: Porto, Man Utd HT-FT, Real Madrid @ 4.04/1

Gonna put all teams in an accumulator with small stakes as well.
5 Points: Porto, Man Utd HT-FT, Cardiff and Real Madrid @ 8.24/1

Good Luck to all.

hawker27

going with 2 bets tonite,the first bet is a bit wild:

celtic 5/6 to win
arsenal 11/5 to draw
chelsea 21/10 to draw

heres my second bet:

man utd 1/6 win
ac milan 8/13 win
real madrid 4/5 win
fc porto 5/6 win

my first bet might be a tad outrageous lol,but i fancey celtic to win at home especially with there passionate fans,arsenal tough game away i,m sure the would be happy with a draw tough place to go,chelsea think thats got a draw written all over it as both kind of know the will go through.

What can I say pighead, extremely impressed with your research & results behind your bets. Once again you've landed a few sweet bets.

Looking forward to see what your doing tonight although on paper is seems tougher to perdict!

Glenbhoy

Thanks for Cardiff and Porto, Pighead - though I was cursing you for pointing out Cardiff until late on;)

WEDNESDAY Im gonna go with Chelsea to beat Barca tonight,Werder bremen to beat levski sofia and Valencia to beat Shaktar Donetsck, i know the chelsea match is a tough 1, but there is revenge at stake and i feel chelsea at home are worth the win, for £50.91 ya get back £200.:D

Pighead

Werder Bremen V Levski Sofia: -1 @4/7: Werder Bremen are top of the Bundesliga and since being beaten by Chelsea they've been playing some great stuff. In their last 3 games they've won 6-0 3-0 and drawn 1-1 with Barcelona. In Klose they have a genuine world class striker.

Along with FC Copenhagen Levski Sofia are among the worst teams in the competition. They got hammered 5-0 by Barcelona and were beaten 3-1 at home by Chelsea. Can't see improving their poor start tonight.

Olympiakos V Roma: 5/6 Draw No Bet: Going to chance Roma at 5/6 Draw No BEt(Which means if the game ends in a draw the overall bet doesn't lose as the game is voided). Olympiakos used to have a reputation of being very hard to beat at home but thats changed recently. Last year they were beaten at home comprehensively by Rosenberg(3-1) and Lyon(4-1) and they went on to finish bottom of the group. They've already been beaten at home 4-2 by Valencia this season.

Roma lie second in Serie A and have won 5 of their last 8 matches. They have already lost against Valencia in the group so they should be going for the win tonight to make things easier for them. They did however lose to lowly Regiana on Sunday so it should be a tight game tonight. Hopefully they can do it.

Inter Milan V Spartak Moscow: Inter to be leading after an hour @4/9: Inter are in trouble in this group and simply must win tonight. Its strange that they have played so poorly in the Champs League as they are playing ok domestically and lie top of Serie A. Spartak aren't in great form and have won just 2 of their last 8 matches. Bayern Munich hammered them 4-0 and they drew 1-1 with Sporting at home. Inter have been a bit of a jinx team for me this season, hopefully that'll end tonight.

Valencia V Shaktar Donetsk@ 2/7 : Being a sissy here and just going for the straight Valencia win at the rather crappy odds of 2/7. They're 2nd in the league behind Barcelona. They have won 7 out of their last 9 games and should prevail tonight without much trouble. (Famous last words!)

Wednesdays Accumulator:
20 Points : Valencia, Inter to be ahead after 60 mins, Werder Bremen(-1), Roma(DNB) @4.35/1
(If Roma draw it works out as a measly 2/1, still tho i'll take that)

10 Points: Valencia HT-FT(4/6), Werder Bremen (-2)(6/4), Inter HT-FT(8/11), Roma(+1)(4/9) @9.4/1

As Erin said tonight is much trickier and 30 points stake is more than enough for me.
Good Luck to all.

I'll be back here for the next Champions League affair.

Later,

Q

Pighead

Nalbandian V Henman@ 4/7-- World No.5 against World No 41. Henman has improved of late but hes bet nobody of note really. Truth is he's had 1 good tournament all year(got to Japan Open Final) and he was very patchy in beating the awful Ferrer yesterday. Nalbandian has been solid all year and currently leads 4-1 in all previous meetings, Henamns only victory coming on his favourite grass court surface. Good price for Nalbandian here.

Helsingberg V Oster HT-FT@ 3/4: Swedish cup game.
Helsingborg last 8 games: WWWDWWWD
Osters last 8 games: DLLLWLDD
As you can see Helsingborg are in great form and lie in joint 3rd in the league, Oster are a poor team and are rock bottom of the league. THe last 2 meetings between the teams have ended 3-0 and 4-0 to Helsingborg(The 3-0 was just 2 weeks ago). Should be 1 way traffic and going for the better priced HT-FT

Slovia Liberic V Sevilla: @Evens: As indicated by the price this is the riskiest of the three bets. Liberic are a solid if unspectacular team. Both teams are coming off the back of league defeats but in fairness to Seville it was barca that beat them, Liberic on the other hand lost to lowly Pribram. Sevilla have won 7 of their last 9 games and are in great form. Obviously the draw is a worry but at Evens Pigheads gonna go for the Spaniards superior quality here.

Thursday Mix and Match Treble:
Nalbandian to bt Henman@4/7
Helsingborg HT-FT@3/4
Seville @1/1

20 Points@4.5/1--(All Prices Ladbrokes)
Good Luck to All.

Pighead had a hundred quid on somebody after timing during the course of this thread. Odds were really crappy though so didn't win much.

Pighead

Just found some good news RE Helsingberg bet. Looks like Oster are resting the majority of their team!

Osters are bottom of Allsvenskan, but only two points from the, relative safety, of the relegation playoff place. With just 4 rounds to go they face two vital, yet winable, fixtures in the next six days, firstly a trip to fellow strugglers GAIS, at the weekend, followed by a home game with motiveless Malmo next midweek.
These fixtures can be their only concern and to that end, they are resting most of the first team tonight, it looks likely that a maximum of 4 regulars will start.
Helsingborgs have this as their major priority and will start with their strongest available eleven. Very strong at home, only Hacken have won at the Olympia Stadium in the league.

Excellent! Gonna have a single on Helsingborg HT-FT as well
60 Points single Helsingborg HT-FT@3/4

Ah don't mind Pighead, he's a crabby old fcuker who has an irrational hatred of the art of After Timing.

Basically it means telling people after the event has occured how much money you won.
Eg: YES! LEGEND. HAD 700 QUID ON SPURS TO WIN 2-0 @11/1. I'M THE FCUKING MAN. YE HA. WHOS YOUR DADDY.

Anyway as I said don't mind me.

In other news Henman lost(unluckily actually) and Helsingborg won 3-0 so its all down to Seville now. Just started. Tough game ahead.
