WE move from the Champions League to the Europa League and let's hope the games are more exciting than last night.
Most punters lost out on the Barcelona v Juventus match as the Spanish side were unable to lay a glove on the tough Italians while Monaco hardly broke sweat as they completed a 6-3 aggregate win against Borussia Dortmund.
At least there were goals in Monaco. I tipped over 2.5 in both quarter-finals so that double was obliterated. My Super Single in the Daily Record was over 3.5 goals in Monaco and I wish I'd put that up.
In the Europa League it's Man United v Anderlecht, Gent v Celta Vigo, Besiktas v Lyon and Schalke v Ajax.
United outplayed the Belgians aways but late sloppiness meant they had to settle for a 1-1 draw. On Sunday Jose Mourinho's men put on their best display of the season to beat Chelsea and should win tonight although they're short price.
Zlatan Ibrahmovic is likely to start after being rested against Chelsea and is 13-5 at McBookie to score first.
Celta Vigo have been of the surprise teams of the tournament as have hosts Genk. The Spaniards won 3-2 a home and while it's a precarious lead they can get a result in Belgium.
Celta won at Shakhtar Donetsk after losing at home and also at Krasnodar. Players were rested at Granada on Sunday but they still came away with a 3-0 win.
Striker John Guidetti is expected to be fit and dangerman Iago Aspas returns. Consider Aspas to score at 28-17 with 888sport and Celta draw no bet at 39-40 with the same firm.
Besiktas trail Lyon 2-1 but the Turks have also been impressive and should be able to overturn the deficit. A 1-0 win would be enough to take them through and I'm tempted by them to qualify at 9-4 with McBookie.
Schalke will struggle to overcome the 2-0 lead Ajax take to Germany and by all accounts it should have been a heavier defeat. They followed that by losing 2-1 to rock-bottom Darmstadt and are low on confidence after one win in five and two in six at home.
Ajax could avoid defeat here or even nick a win at a best 16-5 with Betfair.

Hi kellyd
I am new here
Are you putting your bets as singles or accumulates?
Ive been following your tips. Great strategy. Cheers
What percentage of the time do you think Genk v Celta both teams to score will win?
You can judge that the price. Btts is expected and I’d be surprised if it didn’t come in.

Schalke BTTS, Besiktas > 5.5 Cards 1.6/1
Long shot 4 Fold or perm for a Treble:
Besiktas v Lyon – Home Win
Lyon have now won just two of their last six games in all competitions as well, and away from home it’s even worse for them. They have won two, drawn two, and lost six of their last ten away days. Besiktas, meanwhile, have won 11, drawn one, and lost one of their last 13 home games in all competitions.
Schalke v Ajax – BTTS
Schalke have only kept three clean sheets in their last 13 home matches as well, which considering they failed to get an away goal in Amsterdam, is a very dangerous statistic. Ajax have found the net in nine of their last ten on the road too, but have only kept four clean sheets in the process.
Genk v Celta Vigo – BTTS
This could be a very tight clash. Considering Genk’s quality at home but Celta will score having rested players at Granada and still playin out 0-3 win.
Manchester United v Anderlecht – Under 2.5MG
I see this being at tight game 9 Uniteds last 12 home matches have seen fewer than three goals.
Man United v Anderlecht – Under 2.5MG
Besiktas v Lyon – Home Win
Genk v Celta Vigo – BTTS
Schalke v Ajax – BTTS
4 Fold @ 15/1
Just a heads up on besiktas
They are missing top scorer Tosun and second top scorer Aboubakar along with Quaresma
I’ll check the team news again later – that wasn’t in the articles I looked at last night.
I read Quaresma is a doubt but expected to play and Tosun is to deputise for Aboubakar.
U are correct now Tosun is available and Quaresma is a doubt

Also liked the look of Zeljeznicar to beat Siroki Brijeg in the Bosnian cup but I don’t know enough about Bosnians to confidently say much.
Good luck one and all
My bad. Zeljeznicar game was in my shortlist for today and for some reason, it’s not being played until 26/4 so please ignore that one. At least until then
Bullseye, wats the difference between asian corners
And corners have u still got get 5 fhcorners to win ,
That’s correct dolky but with Asian corners you get fractionally better odds usually. The first leg saw five first half corners in Belgium and tonight should follow suit as Man Utd will likely pin them back from the offset with home advantage.
I’ve flirted with the idea ever since they took apart Man City in the first half at the Etihad but wasn’t convinced by them defensively. However, I feel they are quickly evolving throughout the tournament and appear to be getting stronger and stronger and I can not simply stand by as they sit there as they appear fourth favourite at 7/1 on the eve of the semi-final draw.
Monaco to win the Champions League.
I really hope they draw Real Madrid in the semi-final and avoid Athletico and Juventus until the final as over two legs I feel the stronger defensive sides may find a way past the unstoppable force of Monaco. Real Madrid I feel would underestimate Monaco somewhat and would pave the way to a free scoring semi-final.
I have them at 67/1
Looking good @harrybaines.
When did you back them?
Must of been about 2 months ago, it was before the first leg vs City
Cash Out is sitting at £1675 right now, with a potential £18,425 heading his way.
Harry doesn’t have to be bricking it, because I think we’re all doing it for him…???
Really harry, 67-1.
Zzzzzzzzzzzz
@elvis-parsley yes that’s correct 67/1, problem with that? :/
Been really impressed by Monaco – they’re good enough to win but may just lack that little bit of experience to get them over the line.
Test

Kuwait SC v Burgan
This game has potential for goals. 2nd v bottom and the bottom side are shipping goals non stop! The reverse fixture back in december saw Kuwait come out 9-1 winners away. I would expect there to be 4-5 goals minimum in this one so over 3.5 and 4.5 worth a go and/or 1.5 FH goals.
Great spot elander all b on this.
Of the two SA games last night it was one winner and one loser so after a poor day, it’s onto today and there’s one of interest kicking off at 15.00 in Iceland…
SELFOSS VS. KR (Ladies):
These two have met each other 7 times in recent years with match goals totalling 1-7-8-2-2-6-7.

Dutch Eredivisie:
Vitesse v Feyenoord (Sunday)
It’s Super Sunday in the Dutch Eredivisie this weekend. League leaders Feyenoord will travel to Vitesse and Ajax (2nd) will travel to PSV (3rd). The last game is very unpredictable, so I focused on the game in Arnhem. If Feyenoord win this game they will take a very big step towards the first league title since 1999.
Feyenoord had a short injury crisis, but now have most of their important players back from injury. Vitesse beat Feyenoord 2-0 in the cup in January, but Feyenoord were missing their key midfielders Vilhena en El Ahmadi back then. I think that same cup competition will be the key in this game as Vitesse will play the final next Sunday and will have a very good chance to win their first trophy since the first division title in 1989. I just can’t see Vitesse taking too many risks in this game because of injuries or suspensions. I can even see Vitesse resting players for this game. They have nothing to play for in the league as they already sealed their place in the Europa League play-offs (place 4-7). Their topscorer Van Wolfswinkel (18 goals – 37,5% of their total goals) got a 94 minute yellow card in the last game and will be suspended for this game. He will now certainly play the cup final…what a coincidence. Their other main goalscorer Lewis Baker (9 goals) has not been on form the last couple of months. For most Vitesse players the cup final in their biggest game in their career and for most Feyenoord players this game is their most important game of their career. There is not much value to be found in the goal markets so I will back Feyenoord -1 on the asian handicap market. I fully expect them to win this game.
Feyenoord -1 asian handicap @ 2.25 with BV
Nice write-up. Cheers.
Looking for a bit of value in tonight’s Man U WIN.
2/9 is a shady price to risk big bucks on, so looking at the win to nil is 11/10.
The bookies also think there less likely hood of an away goal as the BTNTS is odds on.
I thought their goal in the closing stages of the first leg was undeserved and with Man U not needing to score, will keep it tight and pick them off
2-0 Utd.
Must have a chance although Anderlecht have to score at some point so may take risks.
Sorry… 10/11 is the win to nil with Skybet
That’s my bet tonight defo 5/6 bet365.

BESIKTAS VS LYON
Whilst a draw is a real possibility I want to have Lyon my side. Last game they were around this price range they won against Roma 4-2 and any performance like that will secure this half of the bet. Besiktas last game within price range they were held to a 1-1 draw with Olympiakos in the last round.
SCHALKE 04 VS AJAX
Ajax know that one goal scored tonight will near enough put this tie to bed, with Schalke then needing 4 to qualify
Ajax scored 5,1,2,2,0 (within price ranges)

Not trying too second guess Gregg but his tip last week in France Ligue 2 Nimes look keenly priced this week away too an out of sorts Reims.
The home side started like a train and were in the top 3 for most of the early part of the season but they have won just 4 of 14 league outings in 2017. They won 8 of their first 9 at home but have won just 1 of the last 7 on their own patch. They lost their last match 5-2 at bottom club Laval.
Nimes are in good form with only 1 defeat in 14 matches in 2017. That loss away at Sochaux came after a red card on the hour mark with the game tied at 0-0.
Nimes won the reverse 3-0
Nimes DC @ 19/20
Nimes DNB 2/1
Any thoughts Gregg?
Could be right – I’m sure Greg will have French tips tomorrow.

Two games of interest for me tonight with the first being a repost from Tuesday…
DEPORTES VALDIVIA VS. LA SERENA (23.30 KO):
Whilst it’s not one to go mad on, both teams seem to have enough scoring potential and the last time these two met back in October ended with Serena running out 3-2 winners.
Serena’s games have been more scant of late but their most recent game saw 3 goals and prior to the last 6, they were involved in some big scorelines.
Valdivia may sit 5 places beneath them but recent form paints a better picture especially on home soil; they have scored 1-2-3-2 team goals in their last 4 and I can’t help thinking we might see a few goals from both teams.
Two selections to consider:
OVER 2.5 MGS…4/5
??
BTTS 1ST HALF…16/5
?
****************************
GODO CRUZ VS. SPORT BOYS (11.30 KO):
I’d expect Godoy Cruz to be up and at Sport Boys from the off in this Copa Libertadores game.
A combination of Godoy finding a bit of form and The Bolivian side being so vulnerable ought to bring about a few goals!
Two selections to consider here and I reckon the first offers great value:
OVER 2.5 MGS…4/5
????
GODOY CRUZ OVER 2.5 TGS…6/4
??
Best of luck.
Never mind the tips,Hull.Are we on the 12 hour clock or the 24 hour clock!On a more serious note will have a double on the 2.5+ goals as I’m up late tonight and could do with a bit of entertainment(and profit maybe)

Coral are a disgrace. After 90 mins in it’s game the 3 markets they offered for extra time was 27/10 for the game to not go to extra time, 50 quid on it and rashford scores. Check the account and bets voided, call them and apparently it’s a palpable error so the void stands. Not even a free bet as a good will gesture, screwed me out of 135 quid.
FFs Ajax managed to score 2 in extra time but couldn’t get 1 in 90mins
And with 10 men.
Was just thinking the same as I needed 1 from them in 90mins for a double and treble, then they go and score two with ten men in ET! Raging
