Mid-week Champions League

[quantumleap]

Chelsea -1 and -1.5 -115 over Betis (Pinnacle)
This is one we will be able to buy back later so don't buy this if it goes past -125. Chelsea has been killing teams in the EPL but have been playing conservatively in the CL. This will be bet down though due to Chelsea's popularity in the EPL.

Barcelona -0.5 and -1 -105 over Panathinaikos (Pinnacle)
These 2 teams are in leagues that are at 2 different levels. Even though Barca will be on the road they will not lose or draw here as they have been playing very well in the CL.

Inter Milan pk and -0.5 -115 over Porto (Pinnacle)
Another mismatch here. Inter Milan won 5-0 today and should have little trouble with Porto.

Werder Bremen/Udinese over 2.5 -108 (Pointbet)
I couldn't believe this one when I saw it. Typically the 2.5 total is the dividing line in European soccer. Totals are adjusted from here. The French leagues are lower scoring and the German leagues are higher scoring with the other leagues somewhere in between.

So here we have a high-scoring German team and an Italian team that can also put up the numbers. Udinese have had 3 straight matches that have gone over 2.5. Werder Bremen's record is 10/3 over/under 2.5 this year.

Q, I like the Inter Milan play a lot. Porto has really struggled in Europe. They lost to
Rangers and Artimedia Bratslava. That is just pitiful, they have little chance of moving on so I do expect them to pack it in. I also hope your able to hedge with Betis because I see Chelsea winning that game by a goal. BOL

HW: I couldn't have said it better myself regarding Inter and Porto.

The line on Chelsea doesn't seem to be moving much but I wouldn't have taken the bet solely on the hedge. Chelsea has a history of underperforming in the CL and I think that's why a lot of people are getting on Betis. However, they have just been playing balls out lately including situations where they have underperformed in the past.

I may have write-ups for these later.

Arsenal/Sparta under 2.5 -135 (BetCRIS)
Bayern Munchen pk -124 over Juventus (Pointbet)
Brugge/Rapid under 2.5 -135 (BetCRIS)
Benfica/Villareal under 2.5 -141 (several books)
Liverpool/Anderlecht under 2 and 2.5 -122 (Pointbet)
Real Madrid -1.5 and 2 -105 over Rosenborg (Bet365)

Q, I enjoy the action of Soccer, though I usually have to tail and confine myself to 1/2 to 1 unit plays only.

I'm going to ride with you on InterMilan WIN (I'm currently with Carib but will reup at Pinnacle asap), Barcelona WIN and the Over for Udinese....Each for a Unit.

FYI, I only tail while taking full responsibility for my own wagers...Thus I'm grateful for shared information.

gl this week. Agree with most of your plays.

Not sold on Inter though. Both of Porto's losses in this competition were unfair results. Artmedia Bratislava had 3-4 shots on goal the entire game and managed to net 3. Was really a miracle comeback. And against Rangers they were unlucky to lose, they outplayed Glasgow for most of the match.

Inter's thrashing of Livorno this weekend also was a misleading result. Livorno was missing a couple of their best players and also went down a man in the first half after the second goal.

Inter are currently rated highly while Porto is the complete opposite. Odds are not a proper reflection I don't believe.

Anywho really, really like Anderlect to get something from Liverpool. Liverpool's luck is soon to run out in this competition. They were indescribably bad against Blackburn on the weekend. Also think Schalke can get something from their visit to Turkey. And for today tried Lille on the spread.


I see $$$ for every1 this week!

Hi QL,
IMHO the best picks are Werder Bremen/Udinese over 2.5 and of course Barcelona/ Panathinaikos over 2.5. But on the other hand I'll try Rapid/Brugge over :think: so we will see.
More pick are in my thread :thumbsup:

Excellent feedback guys. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Hpark1, Liverpool has underperformed in recent CL matches. You could be on to something here.

Good luck.
