Europa League Betting Tips

Lisburn - Zestafoni match will be played in Lurgan on Glenavon stadium, so there is no big home advantage for Lisburn. Zestafoni had 4 preparation match in Slowenia in last 14 days. All 4 matches finished with draw. They have played 2 matches with Polish side Polonia, also they had a draw against Slovenian champions Maribor, and also draw with Slovenian 2nd placed Gorica. I'm waiting for Asian handicap, it should be 0:0 @ approx 2,20 so I will take Zestafoni in that case.

Helsinborg going well in the swedish league and must be one of the strongest sides in this round along with Rosenborg and Anorthosis they are 1.44 for the HT/FT with bet365 against the armenian side Mika, who I realise I know bugger all about, but I do know that 1. They are from Armenia and therefore cant be world-beaters and 2. They lost their last away match 3-0 in the Armenian league which reinforces point 1!..

Only going for a smallish accum for this round as most of the odds are shite and doesnt appear any of us know much about any of the sides involved bar the scottish and welsh sides (which is understandable!)..

Did read in a BBC article earlier in the week that Motherwell are short of players and are likely to be calling upon a fair few youth players for this game..You would still expect them to win but dunno draw may be poss..cant imagine any asian handicaps will be available will they?..

From reading elsewhere I know FC Lahti are stong and Randers have always done alright in these early rounds I think..fairly crap odds whatever but im going for..

Helsinborg HT/FT 1.44
FC Lahti 1.44
Randers 1.25
Draw or FC Zestaponi 1.53

Accum Odds 3.99

Doing this with basically experience of what generally has happened in similar ties in previous years..adds a bit of interest anyhow..

[martini]

Hot tomorrow!!! Sligo Rovers....Homewin ! many many bets Homewin! SligoRovers! ...

[MickeyPaul]

I've heard the same thing martini. Apparently their opponents with other things on their mind?

[mij0sim]

Well,Vlaznia have few problems.Many payers left this team and they started preparations just two weeks ago.Also there are some RUMORS that this game is fixed (i dont believe in that) and thats are reasons for odds droping on home win.I wont bet on this game as odds already dropped.

your news confirms what posted in the welsh premier site at the weekend following Motherwell's friendly defeat to Rhyl

Saturday 27 June 2009
LLANELLI'S hopes of springing a major European shock have been boosted by the news that Motherwell have just 12 recognised outfield players in their squad.
Former Stockport boss Jim Gannon is set to be named as the new chief of the Scottish Premier League outfit after being made redundant when the cash-strapped Edgeley Park club went into administration.
But 'Well had to lodge the names of their 25-man Europa League squad with Uefa last week and, after losing six of the first-team regulars that played under Mark McGhee last season, the Lanarkshire club were left with no option but to supplement their European selections with 10 members of their under-19 team.
Goalkeeper Graeme Smith, defenders Brian McLean and Bob Malcolm, midfielders Stephen Hughes and Maros Klimpl and striker Cillian Sheridan are all either out of contract or have left the club following the expiry of loan spells and Motherwell confirmed earlier this week that an offer from Bristol City has been accepted for David Clarkson.
Paul Quinn could also be heading for the exit door after reports suggested Cardiff were close to agreeing a fee for the defender.
That leaves Gannon with a major rebuilding job to undertake, with the first round first leg qualifier against Llanelli to be played in Airdrie on Thursday.

At this time of the year i think Llanelli are of very similar standard as Rhyl ,i've had a small bet on Llanelli at those odds , just in hope because of the odds , Llanelli fans are looking forward to the return leg , this is the team news on Llanelli site

The Reds will be training at The Excelsior Stadium,home of Airdrie FC at 7.30pm tonight as they prepare for their UEFA Europa League match with Motherwell tomorrow night. The Reds also had a light training session at Renfrew Leisure Centre this morning and manager,Andy Legg, reports a fit and healthy squad.
Members of the Reds staff visited both Fir Park,home of Motherwell and Airdrie FC ahead of tonight's training session and they received a warm welcome from the staff at Motherwell FC

very highly unlikely that the Sligo match is fixed. I'd fancy Sligo to win at home anyway as its a horrible place to play n theyve picked a few decent results in the LOI

[IrishTW]

Sligo game not fixed as in agreed by both teams, but fixed as in Vllaznia have bet against themselves - according to the rumours. There is an Albanian community in Sligo and they bet heavily on a Sligo win in several Sligo bookmakers yesterday.

The Irish-Albanian mob have obviously dunked it all on Paddy Power as Sligo have shortened to 4/7

Heck..That'll do for me - I love a bit of dodgy Summer Euro Qualifying.. Betfred no longer offer their 5/6, so I've chucked a bit on Betfair at 1.8

[deeloughran]

Looked up at the Screen in work tonight (Ladbrokes) which says

'On bets on the Sligo vs Vllaznia match we are still offering the stated odds of 5/4 on bets up to and including £50, any more and the extra will be settled at 8/11'

Cant for the life of me see how Lisburn are favourites for the match. Play the video on the link above and you'll get an idea of Lisburns aspirations in this comp. 5 players on holiday FFS! If there was a large amount of money matched on betfair, I'd be a little worried that it could be another Sligo - Vllaznia, but there's very little, and 75% of whats matched at the moment was by myself!

[MickeyPaul]

Well I've already got Sligo as part of a banker 37-fold so... ffs... just makes it all the more exciting. I don't like the way you're teasing me with the interviews and the 'oh yeah...we're gonna fuck them so we are..'. I've never, for example, known bet365 to be wrong (giggle giggle). I've deleted all of the rest so none of this will make sense. Fuck.

edit: I accidently left a bit so it makes less sense.

[Coley]

What Sligo bookmakers did they throw that money on? I'm going to the game and Sligo has never lost when I go to watch them, albeit I've only seen them play 7 or 8 times! Shocking I know as they are my home team. But I think why pay 15-20 euro to watch a low-level of quality match in the freezing cold when I could be watching the Kakas and Ronaldos of this world from the comfort of my own home for free!

[Coley]

if its paddypower in Sligo I can DEFINETELY find out by tommorow morning if big money has been lumped on Sligo.
