UEFA Europa League
9* FC Salzburg -1,-1.5 AH @ 1.82 v Levski Sofia
Released early,because odds continue to drop for the home side..Levski are a complete mess right now,they have just fired their coach Ratko Dostanic after they made a tremendous suprice and manage to lost to one of the worst teams in Bulgarian Championschip Beroe with 0-1..The odds for Beroe in this match were over 15 to get the idea for what a suprice we are dealing with..Levski took only 1 point from 5 matches in domestic championschip and are in the middle of the biggest crisis in team's history since it was found in 1914..Georgi Ivanov one of tehir best strikers before 2 years is now coach of Levski until winter when will be decided his future on that position..It has been going around speculations that he can come back and play again and come from his retirement that he is currently in..He can give the boys some motivation but i don't think their overall game will change with a magic stick..They have huge defencive problems with Benzucan making a lot of mistakes,and no one in teh back giving support to the team at all..In their last match in Europa League they felt with 0-4 at home to Lazio with the italians barely running,it could have been more lopsided score if they wanted it to make it..Even before the draw was drawn for teh 3rd qualifing draw in Champions League action all the people in Levski were somekind afraid of the option taht Salzburg can be drawn to face them,they repeated it before and afterwards..Eventually Salzburg faced and lost to Makkabi Haifa and Levski faced and lost to Debrecen,but in Europa League their paths crossed..red Bull is great team with huge investments over the years and manage so far to win away at Lazio with 1-2 and against Villareal with 2-0 on home soil witch teams are just miles away from the current form displaying from the Bulgarians..Salzburg has great squad and all around are very good so everything other than a win by the Austrians with at least 2 goals will be a big suprice for me..I am playing it -1,-1.5 because extra safeness doesn't hurt and if they win only by 1 to lose 1/2 of the stake,but i doubt it will come to this..GL!
