MARCH 8: EUROPA LEAGUE
EUROPA LEAGUE sponsors and broadcasters were rubbing their hands when Man Utd and Man City parachuted out of the Champions League and into the knockout stage of their tournament. Both eased over the first hurdle while showing it wasn't their priority and I'd make sure team news is checked...
FEB 22: EUROPEAN FOOTBALL TIPS
IT was an action-packed night on Tuesday with the big gamble on Napoli paying off but Real Madrid letting punters down at the death. We had some healthy debate on the Napoli v Chelsea match but in the end the Blues' old failings – and David Luiz – came...
20-1 MAN CITY v MAN UTD FINAL
I GOT one wrong and one right with the Manchester clubs in the Champions League last night. No one predicted United to crash out in Basel but I expected City to beat an under-strength but still to finish third with Napoli winning in Villarreal. It really was a shocker...
NOV 30: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
IT'S part one of a Europa League double header on Wednesday and I'll be putting up both teams to score lines for tonight and tomorrow. There are 12 games each night so let's go for a straight fourfold. And I've got to do better than Tuesday when I was...
NOV 3: EUROPA LEAGUE
WE'RE well into the group stage of the Europa League so we should know what to expect now – plenty of goals and loads of team rotation. The format makes it tough for punters with sides, especially those facing long trips such as Spurs, resting most of their...
OCT 20: EUROPA LEAGUE
SPURS are the 5-4 favourites with William Hill to be the British side to progress furthest in this year's Europa League but I'd rather be on Stoke. Of the two it's Stoke who are treating the competition more seriously and they are so strong at home. They are 9-4...
EUROPA LEAGUE: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
I GAVE both teams to score a miss on Wednesday due a shortage of games. Some I fancied came up such as Shakhtar v Zenit, Porto v APOEL and Preston v Sheffield Utd but I'd have probably thrown Marseille v Arsenal into the mix. Europa League games have a...
SEPT 29 EUROPA LEAGUE: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
WITH the Europa League a difficult set of fixtures to predict I wasn't going to bother with a both teams to score line but you guys have been demanding one – so here goes. It seems after the sequence of events on Tuesday night when every English side...
SEPT 29: EUROPA LEAGUE
EUROPA LEAGUE betting is fraught with danger. Take the likes of Udinese and Spurs – two teams who regard the bread and butter of their leagues as more important than a run in a secondary European tournament. And they're not the only ones. Throughout tonight's card stars will be...
EUROPE LEAGUE: TOP TIPS
IT was a difficult night in the Champions League with both Manchester clubs being held and Inter being stunned at home to Trabzonspor. So we move on to the Europa League and the group stage also throws up some difficult fixtures. The main problem is working out who will...
SEPT 15: EUROPA LEAGUE
FIVE British sides are in Europa League action on Thursday and Celtic face the toughest task at Atletico Madrid. It will be almost as tough for Birmingham against last season's runners-up Braga while Spurs, Stoke and Fulham may not put out their strongest sides in ties against PAOK, Dynamo...
BOOKIES PAY OUT ON CELTIC
I GOT an email from a punter today asking what's the score with bets placed on Celtic to qualify against Sion in the Europa League. The Glasgow giants were of course beaten 3-1 on aggregate by the Swiss but have been reinstated after UEFA kicked out Sion for breaching...
EUROPA LEAGUE BRIT TIPS
THREE Scottish sides and three English ones are in European action tonight as part of a huge Europa League card. The stand-out tie is the Battle of Britain showdown between Hearts and Spurs at White Hart Lane. There's no doubt about the difference in class between the sides and...
AUGUST 18: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
I EXPECT plenty of goals from Thursday's Europa League matches and that means loads of opportunities on the both teams to score market. I'll start with one that jumped out at me straight away – Braga v Young Boys. Braga have a fantastic European record, beating sides such as...
REDKNAPP FOR CHELSEA
HARRY REDKNAPP is now odds on be the next Chelsea boss after a day of frenetic betting. The Spurs boss was heavily backed with firms all day and Ladbrokes now go 4-6. Ladbrokes spokesman Alex Donohue said: “Punters have gone Redknapp-mad. Even at odds on we can't stop laying...
EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL: PORTO v BRAGA
THERE haven't been hotter favourites than Porto to win a Euro final in recent seasons. The Portuguese champs, who went through the league season unbeaten, face familiar foes in Dublin tonight. And it could be as one-sided as their domestic campaign against a Braga outfit who have punched above...
MAY 5: EUROPA LEAGUE
I TIPPED Braga to reach the Final before their Europa League semi-final first leg at Benfica – and I'm standing by that decision. The side that very much lives in the shadow of big two Benfica and Porto are ready to emerge on to the top stage – but...
APRIL 28: EUROPA LEAGUE
IT'S a great night for Portuguese football with three sides involved in the Europa League semi-finals. Sportingbet offer 1-4 on the tournament winner coming from Portugal and it's difficult to disagree. Cup favourites Porto take on Spaniards Villarreal with Benfica facing Braga in their other last-four clash. Porto have...
EUROPA LEAGUE TREBLE
IT'S the final night of a packed European treble but there's a chance it could be the most entertaining yet. There's the general feeling that the Europa League throws up ties that are better balanced than its elite counterpart and I think that much is true with this round...
EUROPA LEAGUE: PSV v RANGERS
RANGERS have done superbly well to reach the last 16 of the Europa League. Their resources are as stretched as Strathclyde Police's on Old Firm day but still Walter Smith's side keep going on three fronts. They shocked Sporting Lisbon in the last round with a last-gasp clincher from...
EUROPA LEAGUE: DYNAMO KIEV v MAN CITY BETTING
MAN CITY have been long-term Europa League favourites but they might struggle to live up that billing tonight. Roberto Mancini has been moaning about fatigue in his squad but isn't resting players for the gruelling trip to freezing Kiev. Dinamo are unbeaten in nine and of course well rested...
EUROPA LEAGUE: BRAGA v LIVERPOOL BETTING
LIVERPOOL have named a strong squad for tonight's Europa League clash in Braga. However, boss Kenny Dalglish will be without Luis Suarez, the man who inspired Sunday's 3-1 win against Man United. Dirk Kuyt might have netted a headline-grabbing hat-trick but it was Suarez who pulled the strings. With...
LATEST EUROPEAN PRICES
ARSENAL are 150-1 with William Hill to win all four tournaments they are still in – and 2-1 to eliminate Barcelona from the Champions League. The Spaniards are 4-11 with Hills to come back from 2-1 down and put the Gunners out. William Hill now make Arsenal 16-1 to...
GOALS GALORE IN EUROPA LEAGUE
Mr Fixit has already given us his best bets for both teams to score tonight, now it's our European Football expert, Paul Watson's turn. Basel v Spartak Moscow – Both teams have fallen out of the Champions League and will be looking to go on an extended run in...
EUROPA LEAGUE TOP TREBLE
THERE aren't many mugs left in Europe at this stage – if you discard Silvio Berlusconi. The opening four last-16 Champions League ties proved that with none of the first-leg favourites winning and Arsenal providing the sole home success despite being battered by Barcelona in the opening 45 minutes...
EUROPA LEAGUE: SPARTA PRAGUE v LIVERPOOL
WHEN Kenny Dalglish returned to the Anfield hotseat his priority was to guide the Reds away from the drop zone. Job done. Next he wanted to restablish Liverpool as a top-six side. Job done. Thirdly he wanted to make them tough to beat and lose their soft centre. Job...
RANGERS v SPORTING LISBON PREVIEW
RANGERS beat Sporting Lisbon on the way to the UEFA Cup Final and will fancy their chances of doing so again. Walter Smith's side aren't favourites but the Portuguese are out of form and seemingly morale is low so the Scots could take advantage. Last season the Ibrox side...
ARIS SALONIKA v MAN CITY BETTING TIPS
THE GULF in riches between Aris and Man City is wider than Wayne Rooney's smile after his derby winner last Saturday. But that doesn't mean this is an away banker for Roberto Mancini's men. Far from it. City launch their Europa League campaign against a Greek side who have...
WEDNESDAY’S TOP TIPS
WEST HAM are bottom of the Premier League – but second favourites to win the Carling Cup. Bizarre! The Hammers are a biggest 5-1 with totesport and Blue Square among others after a stunning 4-0 quarter-final victory against Man United on Tuesday. But that seems to be the Avram...
EUROPA LEAGUE NOV 4
MAN CITY need a Europa League win in Poland tonight to lift confidence after two EPL defeats – and they should get it. Roberto Mancini's beat Lech Poznan 3-1 at the Eastlands in a decent match and although hat-trick hero Manny Adebayor will start City will be missing Carlos...
EUROPA LEAGUE TOP TIPS
IT was a great night for British clubs in the Champions League with all three winning – and Liverpool and Man City should continue that success tonight. I tipped the 1-0 correct score for Rangers against Bursaspor and also fancied Spurs to see off Twente in their first Champions...
BRITS AIM TO BE HITS
We were caught out slightly by Man United's team selection on Tuesday and you've got to be wary when looking at Liverpool and Man City in the Europa league tonight. It was obvious from the side Sir Alex Ferguson put out against Rangers that it wouldn't be as easy...
