Any of the people who follow the Czech league,could you give us your thoughts on Jablonec chances against Austria Wien.Ive been to their web but its in Czech,from what I can see its a team of home grown players in a ground holding 5,000 max.

[selectabet]

Sorry Basher, not sure about Jablonec but I did see Young Boys pre-season (no sniggers at the back!) and they pulled Celtic apart in the last 10 mins, beating them 4-1. It was early into Celtic's pre-season so they were a bit rusty, but Hakan Yakin is with YB now and he's still a danger.

YB have won their last 3 at home, scoring 12 goals in the process. They beat Basel 5-1 recently. Whereas Lens have only won once (in 4) so far this season and that was in the Intertoto (I think) at home 3-1. This being the only game they've scored in so far.

If any Swiss or French posters out there can back up the respective form of each of them then the 2.60 might be good value.

16 Aug 19:00 Rabotnicki Skopje v Zrinjski Mostar 1.50 3.60 6.00

Best bet of this round is on Rabotnicki because Zrinjski is total crap they are here because UEFA punished Partizan who beat on agg 11-1 handicap is also a good option

[bromsgrovegreen]

blackburn team news anyone? 1-2 should be ok if they are putting out a strong side, perhaps a 0-0 correct score saver as back up.finnish league is pretty poor by all accounts,rhyl only lost to haka on away goals previous round

[bulit]

Rabotnicki is my favorit here. They play against Zrinjski who lost both games (0-3,5-1) against Partizan Belgrade but after UEFA decision to relegate Partizan they will play in Macedonia in thursday.
Rabotnicki isn't such a good team, I know that, but I still beleive that Zrinjski is terrible and imo this is clear HW.
Does anybody know something about Rabotnicki 's squad?

[bromsgrovegreen]

the odds on away sides playing finnish sides look quite promising, odense 7-4,aab 7-4 and midjityland 6-4, as far as i know the finnish league is pretty weak,wonderer if any scandanavians have any thoughts or team news on the games??

Now it's 1.36 3.75 7.50

Because Erciyes was relegated from Turkish top division, sold all their players and replaced them with unknown youngsters. They qualified for being Cup Finalists (like Millwall few years ago)

[Limvolikce]

Maccabi Tel Aviv - Kayseri Erciyesspor no bet

Kayseri Erciyesspor relegated from turkish premier league. They sold some players but this game seems as a very important for them. I just read that all players will get areound 15.000 euros if pass this round and this money is not small for this kind of players, so it means that they will fight hard here. Macavi Tel Aviv is stronger but stil this is cup uefa and we dont need to forgot a lot of suprises from this comepetetions from last two year..1.30 OR 1.40 Tel Aviv means nothing for me..Real odds sholuld be 1.50 or 1.60..


Slaven Koprivnica - Galatasaray no ber or just under with small stake

Galatasaray will play here without two maybe best players at this moment, Lincoln and Linderoth. They beat Rize 4-0 in first round of turkish league.
Slaven with 3 wins and 1 lost game at 3th place in Croatia. They played just one game at home and won Medjimurje 2-0.
Galatasaray have this round already in pocket with the game in Istanbul. Question is want they play in this cup uefa or not. Two season ago question was NOT and they eliminated against Tromso. I think that this year they want to fight in this competetion but they know that can beat this Slaven in Istanbul with 2 or more goals diference. So tomorow result is questionable for me..Best option is to take under 2.5 goals coz i dont think that GS will attack and Slaven will not be able to score more then 1 goal here at all

[kompressaur]

Anyone tell me anything about Hacken? Dunfermline haven't had the kind of start that they were looking for and im pretty sure that odds like that would be representaive if they were in the SPL and not the 1st division surely?

Dunfermline have a fitness worry over striker Tam McManus ahead of their Uefa Cup clash with Swedish side BK Hacken.

The former Hibernian player suffered a dead leg during Saturday's league defeat by Morton.

Fellow forward Jim McIntyre is also doubtful with a calf injury, but Stephen Glass and Scott Wilson should shake off minor knocks.

Scott Muirhead is out for a month after suffering a hairline fracture of his metatarsal in training.

BK Hacken are expected to be without star midfielder Roger Risholt.

The Norwegian international is holding transfer talks with Tromso after the Tippeligaen side made an approach for the 28-year-old.

Injured left-back Marcus Jarlegren has been left behind in Sweden.

all looks a bit tentative really. I still dont fancy dunfermline to get the win and i wouldnt be suprised to see them go down 1-0 in a dour game. 10/11 the under 2.5 goals with bluesq looks interesting. Can anyone tell me anything about how you rate Hackens chances? They got any UEFA cup pedigree? Dunfermline aint won in europe for about 30 years (if anyone wants to confirm this) and i can't see this being the best time for them to start

UEFA Cup
Soccer - Haka/Midtjylland - total Over 2 (-175)
for the regulation time held on Aug 16 at 11:00am [pending]

Haka is Finland's top team (4-3-1 home, 13-6 goal differential), and here they face Denmark's 2nd-place Midtjylland (0-1-1 away, 2-3 goal differential). The question is whether the Danes will score, because we know they'll concede. In the last round, Midtjylland played to a 2-3 at Keflavik and a 2-1 in the return leg...giving up four goals to a team from Iceland suggests they won't be keeping a clean sheet here. Haka was supposed to blow away Welsh side Rhyl in the first round; they lost 1-3 at Rhyl and won the return 2-0. So, both teams advanced on away goals...not imagining a defensive battle here.

Overall:

Haka 9-3-3, 25-13 goal differential
Midtjylland 3-1-1, 10-4 goal differential

BOL

[kompressaur]

and bol to you too att

(what does boll mean? good luck? sounds Croatian to me)

Just lookign at Hacken. they like Dunfermline were relegated last season
Soccerway · Teams · Sweden · BK Hacken Goteborg · Results

I still think there could be a wee bit of value in Hacken at 3/1 with Stan James and Bluesq and the unders too. It just 'feels' right to me.

[VacheronLim]

lotsa options in uefa cup tonight, but gonna stick with mostly home sides i guess, blackburn and zenit the only possible away sides that interest me tonight...elsewhere at home, rabot cluj basel and maccabi look good, price may not be tempting though...

[Dodger777]

I'm quite tempted with the Over in the Basel v Mattersburg game tonight...both teams come from usually high scoring leagues which are on a similar-ish level ..also the Helsinki v Aalborg game is tempting for an Over to ...Still pondering though
