WE now know the final four in this season's Champions League after Man City and Real Madrid booked their place in the semi-final.
All four ties went the way of the teams that held a first leg lead and that should provide a pointer for Thursday's Europa League clashes. Man Utd, Roma and Villarreal all secured away wins last week and should get the job done tonight.
Of the three, the bookies think Roma look the most vulnerable. In fact Ajax have been priced up as favourites to win in Rome, perhaps based on the fact that the hosts could lose 1-0 and still go through. Ajax need to go for it which could leave them open at the other end but Over 2.5 goals is just 4/9 and as we've seen already this week these scond leg ties haven't thrown up too many goals so going against the grain at 7/4 on Unders looks better value.
Man Utd and Villarreal are similarly priced at 4/9 and 9/20 respectively to win their matches. United will be without Maguire, Shaw, McTominay and probably Rashford but should be too strong against the Spaniards who recorded just their third away win in La Liga at the weekend.
SlipsTips saw enough in last week's match to suggest that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men can beat the -1 handicap again in his match preview.
Slavia Prague are aiming to gatecrash the semi-finals by dumping Arsenal out of the competion in the Czech capital. Arsenal looked to have claimed a first leg advantage after taking a late lead at the Emirates before conceding and handing the initiative to Slavia in the dying embers of the match.
It'd be a brave man to back the Gunners at 3/4, in fact this one could go the distance. Slavia are unbeaten at home this season and earned draws against Leicester and Rangers on their own soild in the last two rounds. The draw is priced at 11/4, while Slavia in the Double Chance market is even money.

My NAP for the first round is a golfer pretty much unknown to most people, Bryson Nimmer has worked at Harbour Town golf course, he caddied here last year and has also played the course more than anyone else in the tournament as he grew up not far from the course,
Course knowledge will play a big part here, there will be a lot of holes that even finding the fairway won’t get you a clear shot to the green with so many trees hanging over the fairway, I would expect to see a lot of shots clipping branches this week, the 8th hole is the most difficult and you really need to find the right side of the fairway, go left and your second shot could find trees, sand or water,
It’s a course that needs your full concentration for every shot of every hole

Picked out a double for tomorrow nights games. First up back to the Dutch second tier where both sides should find the net. Then to London Road where Peterborough should go level on points at the top of the table. Posting early in case prices drop.
Telstar vs Excelsior
Both teams to score
Peterborough vs Northampton
Peterborough to win
Double pays
1.21/1 (William Hill)
Reasoning on both games below 👇🏼
Telstar vs Excelsior
Eerste Divisie 🇳🇱
Friday 16th April, 19:00 ⏰
Telstar have scored in all 16 home games this season scoring 33 goals.
Telstar have conceded in 14 of their 16 home games conceding 26 goals.
Telstar have conceded in their last 20 games in a row scoring in 16 of them.
Excelsior have scored in 13 of their 16 away games scoring 26 goals.
Excelsior have conceded in 13 of their 16 away games conceding 31 goals.
Excelsior have scored and conceded in 9 of their last 10 away games.
This game features two sides who know where the back of the net is but struggle badly at keeping clean sheets. With Telstar only keeping 2 clean sheets in 33 League games and Excelsior only keeping 3 on the road, I can’t see either side keeping one here and both sides should score.
Peterborough vs Northampton
League 1 🏴
Friday 16th April, 19:45 ⏰
2nd placed Peterborough have won 14 of their 19 home games.
Peterborough have the best home record in the division and the best attack scoring 44 goals.
Peterborough are unbeaten at home against bottom half sides winning 9 out of 11.
4th bottom Northampton have only won 3 of their 20 away games losing 12.
Northampton have the worst away record in the division scoring a joint 17 goals and conceding 35.
Northampton are winless in all 9 away games against top half sides and have lost all 6 away to sides in the top 8.
Peterborough will be looking to go level on points with Hull at the top with 3 points here. They should be confident winning due to having the best home record in the league and are up against the side with the worst away record in the league. I can’t see anything other than a comfortable home win here in a game where come August, two divisions could separate these two sides.

Got a place in the featured race wi Paddy Power and spied a decent looking special. Surely the EL can’t be as bad as the CL this week…can be found under football, specials then #WhatOddsPaddy – Daily Specials.
@RAD – 2 or more goals, 8 or more corners & 2 or more cards in each of Thursday’s UEFA Europa League matches
10/1
Hi Alves, just to let you know,this acca would come in at over 21/1 with skybet.
Where u seeing that on sky bet bud
This bets 2+ gls, 2+ cards & 8+ corners. 1 less card & corner than taking the combo ta Skybet. Only 7/1+ at 365 but I’ve fired my free tenner on it. It’ll defo come close
Sorry, I apologise, Alves you do require 1 more corner and card for the 21/1 shot at skybet!
Don’t be daft Willie, that’s what I usually go for but had both CL games lose last night on the combo wi Skybet, gls at Liverpool & cards at Dortmund short. Keeping it simple tonight wi GIBH in 6fold at Slavia Prague & Roma then 4 at the wknd
Ime back I’ve had the dreaded c Ovid been suffering with really bad heads since Christmas so don’t be to hard with me.I only bet small now as I on sick. I can’t find goal in both halves ime with bet 365 any on help.
Have to do betbuilder Dolky, 4 games max, over 0.5 HT gls & over 0.5 2nd half gls
If bet365 offer bet builder on the match do the following
Click total goals
Click on the number (usually the number 2) click 0 and then click (match) and replace with first half
Then repeat for second half
Should say
Over 0 goals in first half combined
Over 0 goals in second half combined
Hope this helps
HI Dolky glad your back on and I wish you a full recovery.

There was eight first half corners in the first leg (4-4). With the corners shared so evenly and only one goal separating the sides I’m expecting an explosive first half with the visitors pushing the action and corners being awarded frequently just like the first leg.
Good luck all
With you on this Bully,watched the first leg.
Gérard and 6 corners first half would be perfect!

Slavia Prague v Arsenal – fancy some action and tasty challenges in this game tonight:
Red card @ 9/2 with Bet365

No joy on the reds ❌ Well done all winners
2x singles and a double..
Moreno Gérard (Villarreal). 7/2. Scored first in 4 games in a row,double and a hatrick in there for good measure so the guys in fire!
6/5 anyrtime ain’t to shabby but it’s smallish stakes
He was benched at the weekend only for Villarreal to lose there first game in 5/6?
Be raring to go!
Cavani….9/2. Seems VERY generous for a man like Cavani but then Man Utd do tent to spread there goals about but with Martial out(an pi$$) he certainly stepped up on Sunday and I can see it again
Double pays near 24/1. Bet365
Yhr ANYTIME scorer double is 4/1!

Aye the big Cavani! 9/2 was a great price when Fernándes was the same??
