THE first Confederations Cup semi-final was a snore-fest as Portugal eventually crashed out to Chile on penalties after two hours of turgid battle.
It was a similarly dreary story in the Champions League qualifiers as Linfield scraped victory over San Marino minnows La Fiorita with a last-minute goal so there was no winning Daily Double for Mr Fixit on the first day of his holiday to the States.
He still has a money-back fivefold to run on tonight's Europa League qualifiers, of which there are many, and has posted a separate preview post covering some of the ties.
The Confederations Cup should get back to entertaining us in the other semi-final when Germany and Mexico lock horns.
Both teams have scored in all six games involving these sides so far and the attacking approach of Joachim Low's inexperienced Germany squad has been great to watch.
They've looked shaky at the back – much like the Mexicans – and the 4-5 offered by Betfair for btts looks well worth taking.
I fancy Low's men to edge it against a Mexican side who could be missing a few key men so will be on Germany to win and btts at 31-10 with BetStars.
Elsewhere in the football world there's friendly fixtures plus action from Scandinavia and South America so as usual keep the tips coming and good luck everyone with your bets.

Looking at that one Mick as they’ve mostly came in for me, but after the Portugal debacle might slim it to medium stakes.
I think the goal will come and I’ve read that Mexico aren’t be best at the back so 4 corners shouldn’t be a problem, although Germany only got 1 against Chile and 4 against the Aussies. Managed 6 in the last game against Cameroon.
Might also look at a low corner count. Mexico don’t seem to get that many. Infact in their game with Russia there wasn’t a single corner whole game. To compare against European opposition, they managed 2 against Portugal.
Too many teams try to play through the middle and more times than not the attack breaks down on the edge of the box.
Need some good old fashioned wingers to get balls in from wide.
A lot of confidences must have took a severe knock last night In first semi portugal game an absolute snorefest of a game.hopefully tonight we can get back to winning ways with the other semi GERMANY V MEXICO.surely can’t b as bad famous last words lol.
2 bets for me in this BTTS 1st half 100/30 b365

Afternoon gents
Europea league time again and dozens of matches to have a look at:
St Johnstone v Trakai KO 7.45pm
I’ll be at McDiarmid park for this one to watch my beloved saints! This is our 5th season in Europe in 6 season and that experience should help is overcome the Lithuainan side! A 1-0 or 2-0 win for us! This team are no mugs but I fully expect us to take a lead into the away leg next week
Ferencvarosi v Jelgava
The hosts had a decent season last year and are seasoned European regulars! They don’t lose many at home and although their season hasn’t started yet they should be to strong from an average Latvian side
Back St Johnstone and Ferencvarios double 11/10 ( Bet365) (NAP)

off out to ibrox later for our first game in Europe in 5 years against niedercorn of Luxembourg, great to see its a 52,000 sell out and interested to see what kind of improvements the new signings will bring, stick a bet up before I go…………..
Afternoon all
Tre Penne (Smr) v Rabotnicki (Mac)
Tre Penne of San Marino have lost their previous 5 European ties by an aggregate score of 41-6 and last year were beaten 3-0 at home by TNS. Rabotnicki are hardly world beaters but have creamed sides from Estonia and Andorra in recent years as well as eliminating Tre Penne’s compatriots Juvenes/Dogana in 2011/12 without conceding over two legs. While you might not quite go as far as to say they have serious pedigree they are at worst European qualifying round regulars and have gone as far as the Play-Off stage twice in the past five years. I think they will look to keep things tight in this first leg away from home and would expect them to take a 1-0/2-0 lead back to Macedonia.
*****************************************************************************************
Skenderbeu (Alb) v Sant Julia (And)
Andorran runners-up Sant Julia boast a proud European record. They have played 12 matches, losing 11 and managing a 0-0 draw in the other (which was a dead rubber after they lost the first leg 4-0). Equally impressive is the fact they have failed to score a single goal in those 12 matches, home or away. They have played nobody of any real pedigree so it’s not even as though they’ve been unlucky with the draw over the years. You could get a Skenderbeu win to nil at odds against yesterday but unsurprisingly it’s been hammered into today with the best available now just 31/40 with BetVictor. I would still say that’s worth taking, particularly as a solid leg of any multiple!
Rabotnicki win to nil – 23/20
Boylesports
Skenderbeu win to nil – 31/40

Double pays roughly 27/10 with various bookies
GL all
90th min late but great Rabotnicki goal brings in the double after Skenderbeu left it fairly late themselves.
Rabotnicki win also brings up the 1.5/1 double posted Tuesday after Linfield win to nil yesterday also very very late haha
Happy days!

Had a good look at what is a large and eclectic card – plenty of of promise in loads of games but sticking to something more familiar but no time to write up…

Best of luck!
This match finished 0-0 I just checked it on flashscore? Please explain?
Quite simple @memphis
Neither team scored a goal and therefore the match finished 0-0
Unlucky hull mate. Looks like a freak result!

4-1 Germany now
PHEW.fs I thought Mexico were never gonna score it’s a better night now.
?
nice one Jim !!
good job man! haha made the mistake of doing btts second half and adding 3/1 st johnstone win, took the cash out and ran haha
Going to have a half stake over night …
New York FC Win & BTTS 7/5
NY in decent form with 3 wins on the trot …new MLS guys Minnesota aint great on the road but can score and NY have only managed one home CS in 8 games this season. Will take a half stake that Minnesota can find the onion bag and NY should come out on top. The 4/6 for BTTS suggests the bookies reckon NY wont keep a CS …
Night Owl:
PONTE PRETA VS. SOL DE AMÉRICA (23.15 KO):
Brasilian side Ponte Preta hold the cards here as the superior footballing side but SDA are proving a tough cookie both domestically and in the Copa Sud where they put 10 past Caracas over two legs in the previous round.
I can’t help but think goals might not be the way here though, despite the two attack minded sides; the hosts have stalled of late and SDA just love a draw – another, potentially more realistic option is to take on the corner markets.
Plenty of offensive play but resolute defending might just make this the better road to take:
Two selections to consider:
OVER 9 MATCH CORNERS…8/11
????
OVER 11 MATCH CORNERS…13/8
??
Best of luck.
52,000 rangers fans walking out of ibrox shaking there heads and thinking if we don’t get a half decent striker and sooòn the seasons over before it begins.
yeah before hand folk were predicting a high scoring game, watched a stream and wasn’t blown away tbh.
