Re: UEFA Cup 8th Nov

Don't like this competition....lack of motivation also supported by fielding the mixed squads leads to many unexpected results, so the best choice for me is to follow higher odds for lower stakes.

This round brings only a couple potential interesting matches for betting ( for me..).

Aris-Red Star

Offered @ 1,90 for HW ...hmm, not bad.
I need some help from Greek punters regards Aris motivation to proceed in UEFA competition, probably squad....
Until I found something more about Greeks, there's a couple of words about Red Star.
They didn'r reached any form so far and heavily struggling even in low quality domestic championship.
Red Star won only one from last three matches, narrowly 1-0 in Belgrade, while other two finished in 1-1 both draws, against rather weak than mediocre teams.
Game vs. Bayern in Belgrade was the only one where Red Star showed something more, but I must say that Bayern approach was in a way, strange one, since they played with no motivation at all, without Tony, Ribbery, De Michelis, Khan....and manage to score three goals, from almost every half-goal-opportunity they created.
So, Red Star defense is vulnerable and I can't imagine that they will not receive a couple of goals in Greece, but again, I don't know much/nothing about Aris capability to score and make a constant pressure.

Thinking about Larissa since Zenit must concentrate on last league game and long awaiting title, so motivation must be strongly at home side which showed some good games vs. strong Blackburn.
