as iv said before this match sticks out

Borussia Dortmund v Sevilla

Dortumed are superb form atm, scoring goals for fun. Seville on the other hand are in rubbish form and they sacked their manager. But seville have a good team and capable of scoring in Germany.

Dortmund to win and over 2.5 goals in this match are the 2 bets that stand out at me

also I think its worth a shot of Kagawa to score anytime for Dortmund @23/10 he has scored in a few games this season

another match that interests me is CSKA Sofia v Porto
Porto are in excellent form, 6 wins out of 6
CSKA are in pretty bad form
heres a nice preview of the match http://www.365tip.com/tip-CSKA%20Sofia-Porto-6212.html

Sevilla have already appointed their new manager though and it's an excellent appointment in my eyes. However I still believe Dortmund should win. Might throw them in a double with Zenit -1.

Nuri Sahin

Agree with Headshot regarding Dortmund tonight. They are flying this season(2nd in de Bundesliga), at home tonight and have been scoring for fun both home and away.

Sevilla on the otherhand have been a mess thanks namely to Alvarez(who was sacked after last weekend)and his god awful clueless tactics. Gregorio Manzano has come in. His name will be familiar to those who follow La Liga. He did wonders for Mallorca over the last few years and sadly Mallorca couldn't renew his contract in the smmer due to financial difficulties. It's hard to tell how Sevilla will perform in his first game. 1st few games more often than not lead to some good performances.

But for tonight, I'm most definitely backing the home side and like HS I'd recommend Kagawa to score IF he starts. Also Barrios is an obvious one to score too, plus I really like the look of youngster Goetze to score as well. A future star in the making IMO.

In general, the teams I love the look of tonight - Dortmund, PSG, Sampdoria, Porto, Zenit and CSKA. Porto being the only away team.

rossit

hi great thread would love to hear what ye think of dyname kiev and stuggart. but thanks for info

Nuri Sahin

Regarding Liverpool's match -

Wolfswinkel Insurebet/Anytime -their star striker, very good finisher and has 7 goals already this season. Scored a few vs Celtic when the Dutchies humiliated them not so long ago.

or Kuyt Insurebet/Anytime - the first club he ever played for. I'd expect him to start. or unders seem good to me.

Wovable Woy has also suggested he'll play a strong team tonight.

I know very little about Odense except they were runners up in Danish league last season.

Stuttgart have been in a proper mess this season.

I'd really avoid this match. Likewise Dyanmo. I was burned by them when they drew 2-2 to Borisov on matchday 1. At a push I'd back Dyanmo because they have got some quality in attack and frankly I really know nowt about Odenese :pac:

Peyton Manning

The Zenit - AEK match interests me most.

Zenit are unbeaten after 20 games in Russia, winning 15 and drawing 5, with a goal difference of +29. They have 10 games left, and are 4 points clear of Rubin Kazan who only have 8 games left. I would imagine that, given how relatively easy the domestic league has been for them so far, that the Europa League is now their number one priority again. They beat Anderlecht a comortable 3-1 in Belgium on the opening match day, and nothing suggests they won't beat AEK comfortably with home advantage.

AEK are struggling big time. They are only 1 place outside the relegation zone in Greece (albeit with only 4 matches played) but they have already conceded the second highest amount of goals. Their manager resigned at the weekend in extraordinary fashion, having lost 3-1 to a newly promoted side with fans throwing chairs and rubbish at him, so their youth coach will be in charge tonight. I don't fancy him testing his wits away to Luciano Spalletti.

Kerzhakov as anytime scorer at 6/5 is a no brainer imo. He's on fire at the moment. He scored a hat trick against Anderlecht in the opening round of fixtures, and also got a hat trick in their last domestic game. Also, if you like your omens, he also scored a hat trick against AEK the last time Zenit played them. He's 6/1 to score 2 goals tonight, and 28/1 to score 3.

As a result, my tip for the night.

4 pts - Zenit (-1) @ 8/11
3 pts - Kerzhakov anytime @ 6/5
1 pts - Kerzhakov 2+ goals @ 6/1

All Bet365, you'll probably get better in PP but my money is tied up in Bet365 so that's why Im using it.

I have to say i really fancy man city to win fairly comfortably against juventus...juventus have been shocking at the back all season..

It's a confidence thing. My scale would be between 1 and 5, with 5 being very confident and 1 being worth a small flutter.

Ugh let me guess, Kostadinov is CSKA's owner or director or something like that, he used to play for Porto, and Sofia were caught up in a match fixing scandal not too long ago.

2 + 2 = 5 :pac:

Just a warning for those who are planning on having something on Palermo or Napoli tonight...

Napoli Coach Walter Mazzarri Makes Seven Changes For Europa League Tie At Steaua Bucharest
By Salvatore Landolina

Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri believes his instrument of conquest against Steaua Bucharest will be to rest Marek Hamsik and Ezequiel Lavezzi, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

Tinkering has become the hallmark of Mazzarri's strategies at San Paolo as he juggles his side, and he will rest several stars ahead of their Serie A clash against Roma, leading to critics blaming him for putting the league before Europe.

Among the stars that won't take part in Romania are Hamsik and Lavezzi. The Slovakian will have to wait until until at least Sunday to score his 50th goal for the club.

Paolo Cannavaro, Salvatore Aronica, Andrea Dossena, Hugo Campagnaro and Michele Pazienza are also on the bench. Jose Sosa is expected to start in midfield.

Palermo To Rest Javier Pastore For Europa League Clash Against Lausanne - Report
By Salvatore Landolina

Palermo will have to get their Europa League adventure off the ground without Javier Pastore when they take on Lausanne on Thursday.

The Rosanero are searching for their first win in Europe after losing to Sparta Prague a fortnight ago. The game is a defining element in their season as a loss tonight will add to their struggle.

And to make life less easy, Delio Rossi has decided to rest Pastore. He has been the leader of the team thus far, but is not expected to play at the Barbera.

Pastore should make his return when Palermo travel to Fiorentina on Sunday.

Not overly shocking, as I'm sure some of you know that the Italians have always treated Europe's 2nd competition with little respect.

odds for Juve to win tonight at 5/1 seem to big to pass. I know they havent got off to a great start in the league but there's still enough quality in the team to beat city.

Juventus have a huge domestic game against Inter on Sunday. This is a historical rivalry and is almost as big as their one with AC. The team and players will want to win it and may have one eye on that game. Given that Napoli and Palermo are rotating players ahead of Serie A clashes. Juve may do the same. Not to mention Italian teams don't usually travel well. So tread with caution if taking them.

It'd be a whole lot better if Kerzhakov came on and bagged me a goal

Nuri Sahin

Don't you hate when you have full confidence in say, captaining a player in FF most people wouldn't and knowing he'd score... yet not a bet on that happening

Nene(my FF captain this week) scores for PSG

AEK grab one back. There goes my Zenit to win to nil bet :mad:
