Uefa cup Thursday Feb 21st.

Play #1 . B Munich v Aberdeen.

Aberdeen +2.5
0.5 unit @ 1.62 (Betfair).

Aberdeen lost in Scottish league to Celtic and Dundee 1-5,1-4,0-3 and it indicates Bayern can cover
that +2.5 easily,however in light of Ribery out and feeling Aberdeen will do thier best not to be defeated
and low scoring which will do for Bayern i will stick to the +2.5 here.

Slightly better line at Bet365 of 1.67,therefore playing it there.
0.5 unit Aberdeen +2.5 @ 1.67 (Bet365).

Ytd;8-5,+7.28.

Play #2 .

Nurnberg v Benfica

Benfica is not playing so well this season,in 10 games on German soil they drew twice and lost 8,i will go on with this trend and back the home team,especially as seen them dominating the pitch 2nd half even in Lisbon.

1 play for now.

Fenerbahce (2)v Bursaspor (14).

Fenerbahce onviously is the favorite at home and trailing by 1 point after Galatasaray in first place in Turkish superleague.
Since Fenerbahce had 3 tough games the last 7 days and has some starters missing today due to injuries as Roberto Carlos who was injured vs Sevilla while the visitor team seems highly motivated against top Turkish teams i will play the total u2.5 where i find value.
The visitors conceded 15 goals in 10 away matches This season.in previous match with Fener this season at home the score was 1-1,and against other top turkish teams this season their scores were;

Bursaspor has not conceded more than once against any of the top 4 this season,they seem highly motivatd when it comes to defense and not scoring much on the road either(10 goals in 10 away matches),in 15 out of 22 matches this season the total in their games has been under 2.5 .
Since Fener will be missing or resting some key players this week,i will take my chances betting on low scoring here assuming Fener won't concede and perhaps score once or twice.

Fenerbahce v Bursaspor Under 2.5

Play # 2 - Saturday Feb 23rd.

Hibernian v Inverness (Scotland Premier League).

Hibernian seems in good form the last 4 weeks with 2 wins and 2 drawas among them draw at home vs Rangers and i expect them to continue this trend today playing Inverness,more than that,last time these two met on
January this year Hibernian won 3-0 at home and won 3 recent encounters home vs Inverness,Inverness does not play well away and lost
8 out of 13 away matches this season.

Sunday Feb 24th.

Play # 1 .

Daily parlay ;

1.PSV v De Graafschap Match Odds:PSV @ 1.18
2.Rangers v Gretna Match Odds:Rangers @ 1.10
3.Panathinaikos v Levadiakos Match Odds:Panathinaikos @ 1.17 .
4.Barcelona v Levante Match Odds:Barcelona @ 1.12 .

Too many games and lots to lay here but will have small play here as it seems to me rationally as a winner.

Some facts about these games;

PSV dominated De Graaf as can be seen from recent encounters,despite the gap PSV has from Ajax in 2nd spot and playing in Uefa last Thursday,can't see them dropping points at home,hope i am right.
PSV won the recent 5 vs De Graaf 1-0 away,4-1 home,4-0 away,6-1 away,4-0 home.

Rangers at home vs a team ranked last in the Scottish premier league,Rangers won this season 2-1 away and 4-0 last season home,Rangers won 12 out of 13 matches home this season while visitors lost 10 out of 13 away.with the success they had in Uefa cup and high spirit doubt they would drop points here or allow Celtic to come any closer.

Panathinaikos in race in Greece,ranked in 2nd trailing by 2 points after Olympiakos in first place and mssing 2 games,playing team ranked in 13th spot,beat that team away this season 4-0,Pana don't score much at home but won 8 and drew 2 this season,since they would probably like to get a hold of first place again i believe 1-0 will do here.

Barcelona with all their stars back and with high moral after their win in Glasgo back to league in attempt and get closer to Real or keep at least same gap,barca won 11 out of 12 matches home while their opponent lost 9 out of 11 road matches this season and ranked in last place in the league.

0.3u @ 1.69 (Betfair).

YTD 13-8 ,+9.07 .

 

[Betting4Fun]

To top previous stats and facts,Rangers opponent will be missing two mid field regulars today due to injuries as well as their first GK,i was thinking of taking Rangers AH in light of that info but seeing Rangers -3 seems a lttle too high for me,will stick to the ML and raise my stake.Panathinaikos opponent will be missing some starters as well and Pana players in local interviews sound motivated to win and their coach ask for early scoring.

so adding another 0.3 unit currently @ 1.67 to make it

1.PSV v De Graafschap Match Odds:PSV @ 1.17
2.Rangers v Gretna Match Odds:Rangers @ 1.10
3.Panathinaikos v Levadiakos Match Odds:Panathinaikos @ 1.16 .
4.Barcelona v Levante Match Odds:Barcelona @ 1.13 .

Tuesday Feb 26th - Israeli cup.

Israeli cup games today 1/32 round.

In israel unlike England very rare to see an upset in cup games.
Since the championship has been decided already despite having
11 rounds left all is left for other local reputable teams is the cup
to try and get a title and ticket for Uefa cup next season if not ranked
in 2nd or 3rd spot in league by end of season .Since these two clubs which
have lots of tradition and titles (Hapoel and Maccabi Tel Aviv)
started very bad this year and just now barely escaped of relegation,
there last chance for Europian ticket will be through the cup,
where is 1 leg match and if required extra time and Penalty kicks.
Hapoel won the title last 2 years and will try to defend the title for 3rd year in a row
while Maccabi will try and get what is left this season and possibly ticket to Europe that way for next season.
Hapoel plays at home while Maccabi plays other team in Tel aviv.the last game picked for this parlay has a team in 2nd league vs team in 4th division perhaps 5th,didn't bother checking,actually hard to find out where its ranked but again they have lots of tradition,won championships in the past and since failed in attempting to appeal to 1st league this season will try and make up for it in the cup.

Play # 2 .

Few words about the games involved.

Lutton must win today if wishing to avoid relegation depsite losing technically 10 points.
they seem to have a reasonable cance to make it and play well at home while Milwall is not so good away.
Juventus players still shocked of the way they lost on the weekend,since
this is a derby i will hedge with a draw here,doubt Juva lose two games in a row.
Suttgart playing at home well and against a team ranked at bottom of div.2
best chance of Stuttgart to reach europe next season assuming they are interested off course
is through the german cup title right now.straight win,doubt other team trying to avoid relgation
has its mind in this match.
