UEFA Cup THURSDAY

[KidA]

-Nürnberg vs Everton-
Everton has a good history against Bundesliga teams in Europe. Never losing to any. They have a couple injury woes but I don't think that should bother anyone, with Andy Johnson out for numerous games already which they've done great without him. Nürnberg also have injuries in Angelos Charisteas, Robert Vittek, Javier Pinola, and Lars Jacobsen. So you can see both teams have some injuries to deal with. Everton has been pretty solid last few games and I think they will continue it on the pitch against Nürnberg, plus the fact that Nürnberg hasn't won a European home game since 1963 makes me feel a tad bit happier =)

-Bayern Munich vs Bolton-
Bolton are missing 5 players tomorrow against Bayern. El-Hadji Diouf, Abdoulaye Meite, Nicky Hunt, Nicolas Anelka, and Ivan Campo are all ruled out for the clash. Bolton has been iffy in their games and I'm not sure about trusting them for this game. By the books, Bayern should cover easily, but I'm not too comfortable putting that much on a -1.5 spread to cover. I'm going to keep a small play on this one.

Adding:
-Larissa vs Zenit-
A lot of people already know that Zenit has a big game coming up for them after this game and they will most likely field a lot of youngsters. Larissa seems to have more motivation going into this game, the only thing about fielding youngsters is that sometimes they play even harder to win a place for themselves in the starting line ups. Hopefully this is not the case here. Larissa are a great HOME team during Uefa competitions, there last loss came in 1983!!!!! That impresses me, and I hope they stay undefeated longer than that.

-Moscow vs Leverkusen-
Leverkusen plays Moscow as well, and Moscow have a title winning game as well, second place behind Zenit. They have been playing great in this Uefa Cup scoring a combined 8 goals in 2 games. They will probably field youngsters but their youngsters have proved they can play. I think this is going to be an open affair for the over 2.5 to hold.

i like your picks, but just a word of caution..that nürnberg has not won since 1963 and Larissa has not lost since 1988 is not a sign that they are good or bad, it shows only that they are participating in this competition for the first time in ages...besides that i like especially you München pick and obviously Larissa...not so sure about Leverkusen over...Moscow has already anounced they are resting 4 players, but Leverkusen is scared to play on the artifical turf, which might be a factor.

Went 2-2 on the day guys, up a small +0.62 units. Zenit ended up fielding a pretty strong squad Chriscol, guess we can't trust what we read regarding that they don't really care about the game! Larissa had the lead and couldn't hold it with 20 more minutes to go. Bayern Munich, they are held to a 2-2 draw with injured Bolton. Bayern Leverkusen hit the over with a injury time goal. Gotta love those! and Everton win 2-0 in the end of their match.
