AFTER the thrills and spills of the Champions League it's time to resume action in the Europa League.
As usual team news is vital because even at this stage some will rest stars, especially those going for league titles or Champions League slots.
Two side being heavily backed are Anzhi and Fenerbahce and I can see why. A lot of eyes will be on Anzhi as the big-spending Russians tackle Hannover at home. Samuel Eto'o will lead the line butnothere will be a start for £30million man Willian who has been signed from Shakhtar Donetsk but is cup-tied.
Anzhi of course are in the middle of a break but if they can hit the ground running they should win by a couple of goals against rivals missing skipper Konstantin Rausch and striker Wellinton. They are 8-11 with William Hill and BetVictor.
There's been plenty of money on Fenerbahce who have taken the likes of former Liverpool stars Dirk Kuyt and Raul Meireles to Turkey. BATE have lost four in a row in Europe and could struggle against a side who won away to Borussia M'gladbach and Marseille in qualifying. Take the Turks at 9-5 with Paddy Power.
Ajax performed well in the Champions League to finish third behind Dortmund and Real Madrid and ahead of Man City. They will want to go all the way as the Europa League final is in their stadium and they should win at home to Steaua. The Dutch are 4-7 at bet365 and BetVictor.
Ukraine teams always take the tournament seriously and Dynamo Kiev should take care of Bordeaux at home. Kiev have decent attackers in the shape of Andriy Yarmolenko and Oleg Gusev and are 10-11 with William Hill and others to notch a home win.
Atletico Madrid are one of those sides who will rest players with top scorer Falcao for example unlikely to start. The Spaniards have won 11 out of 12 at home so should win at 4-9 (various) against Rubin Kazan but there are no guarantees.
It won't be easy for Inter Milan at home to Cluj especially if they rotate their stars. However, home advantage should edge it in favour of the Italians and back Diego Milito to score at 21-20 with sportingbet.
Napoli have treated this tournament seriously and of course Edison Cavani netted four in the group stage against Dnipro. If he starts back him to score first at 9-2 (various) and Napoli are no bigger than 8-15 at BetVictor against Viktoria Plzen.
Lazio have played strong line-ups throughout and are likely to do the same at Borussia M'gladbach. The Italians will miss injured striker Miroslav Klose but will look to in-form Sergio Floccari for goals. This could be a draw with both on target.
Stuttgart have made a stuttering return to action in the Bundesliga with four defeats and could be in trouble against a decent Genk outfit who have scored in their last 12 away games in the tournament, with 11 of them seeing both net. Again take both to score.
And so what of the English sides. It's almost surreal but Metalist Kharkiv warmed up for their tie at Newcastle with a friendly against Whitley Bay as they try to get up to scratch during their winter break.
Metalist were impressive in the group stage while Newcastle have been lifted by moves during the transfer window that saw five French players arrive on Tyneside. However, Alan Pardew's focus will be on the Premier League and this could be a draw.
Ukraine teams always take the tournament seriously and Dynamo Kiev should take care of Bordeaux at home. Kiev have decent attackers in the shape of Andriy Yarmolenko and Oleg Gusev and are 10-11 at William Hill and bet365 to notch a home win.
Spurs are the only English side who don't face a team in the middle of a break. They host Lyon at White Hart Lane in a tie they start as 5-6 favourites with Stan James.
Andres Villas-Boas has fielded strong sides throughout the tournament and if he does so again you'd expect the Londoners to edge a victory. Man of the moment Gareth Bale, with goals in his last four games, is 6-4 (Stan James) to score at any time and 6-1 with Coral to net first.
Anyone who backed Liverpool against West Brom on Monday will fancy the chances of Zenit at home to the Reds. The Russians, 13-10 (various), have quality throughout the side and should beat an outfit that missed Daniel Sturridge more than they should have in the defeat to the Baggies.
Chelsea would love to still be in the Champions League but beggars can't be choosers so the European champions head for Sparta Prague and should show their class. The Blues, however, are only a biggest 8-11 at bet365 and BetVictor and I wanted neared evens.

mr f what do you think of spurs and inter btts, iv done 2 match every night this week and they are the last 2 teams out of 8 that im waiting on
Cheeky number, they’re not my first picks but as I’ve said any game bring up the btts so you just have to hope.
its a bit of a pain with the team news Paul am heading to the casino so Im always tempted to wonder round to the sports section and have a nosey at what sort of prices and markets are on offer
why would pardews focus be on the premier league we havent got a game for two weeks??
Michael, I didn’t say Pardew was focusing on this weekend, I’m talking about in general. He’ll not want Europa League to get in the way of what still could be a fight for survival although I think they’ll be fine. If he puts out a full-strength side it could be a home win but I’ve been impressed with Metalist throughout although of course they are in their winter break.
HUGE PRICED DOUBLE
Wins for Dnipro away to Basel odds around 2/1.In the previous round they PSV home and away, beat Napoli 3-1 at home and beat AIK 3-2 away to win their group and fielded full strength teams in all games showing they are taking this comp seriously.
And im going for Zenit St Petersburg to beat liverpool odds around 13/10,they have quality players like Hulk, Danny, Roman Shirokov and Aleksandr Kerzakhov and Axel Witsel and will cause a lot of problems fot a team that has conceded at least two goals in five of its last six matches.Plus the fact that Liverpool havent won a single match against anyone in the top half of te premier lg convinces me that they are gong to struggle.GIVES A HUGE £69.00 FOR A £10 STAKE
Sean, wouldn’t really argue with either.

Milesey
TREBLE
Chelsea
Napoli
Newcastle
i am not doubting any of your picks, just have questions thats all, are you confident on newcastle ?
BBC WEBSITE COPY AND PASTE, Blue peter style ;) ;)
Newcastle are without January signings Yoan Gouffran and Mathieu Debuchy for the Europa League clash with Ukrainian side Metalist Kharkiv.
The duo are cup-tied, having already played for French sides Bordeaux and Lille respectively in this season’s competition.
Gouffran would be unavailable anyway as he recovers from a leg injury.
Hatem Ben Arfa (knee) remains out and fellow midfielder Sammy Ameobi is missing with a hamstring problem.
Metalist won four of their six games in Group K, their only defeat coming at Rapid Vienna.
Milesey
Yeah I can see your points.
However I am only selecting Newcastle because they have the home advantage and do not have a game on the weekend so I think will field a strong team as they will want to get a good result before they go away to Ukraine.
Alan Pardew has also stated that he will ‘Attack’ the Europa league so I wanted to find a little bit of value in my treble.
Although the players you mentioned are missing they still have the likes of Cabeye, Cisse, Tiote, Gutierrez and Sammy’s big brother Shola.
Could be wrong, Could be right … We will see later
AC, I’d like to see the starting line-up but for me at the moment it’s a no bet.
As far as i’m aware Metalist Kharkiv don’t have a game on either at the weekend, don’t think they even play a game again till the beginning of march in their league, maybe they will be abit rusty, or the break has done them well and then will be ready to fire again.
Milesey
Mr F, Milesey… I can see where you’re both coming from but I just fancy Newcastle tonight … Could go either way … The bets been placed so there is not alot I can do about it now haha
No worries
Best of luck with Newcastle anyway AC
Milesey
Milesey, Ukraine, Russian teams etc on a winter break. Have been playing friendlies but of course that’s different so there has to be a slight question mark about they’ll fare on their return to competitive action.
After celebrating the threefold BTTS on the main games of last night, I posted a fourfold Europa League BTTS at black o’clock on the Champs League thread – and delighted to see we are of like mind, Mr F! Definitely swerve the English sides as they just don’t have any affection/desire for this tournament/these games, at this stage at least.
Atletico Madrid v Rubin
Atletico in good form, riding high in La Liga, very strong at home. They’ll score. Rubin topped their qualifying group. Scored in every group game, including 2-2 away at Inter.
Bate Borisov v Fenerbahce
BATE faded badly in Champions League, but beat Bayern Munich 3-1 at home, while Fenerbahce finished top of their qualifying group and beat both Monchengladbach and Marseilles away (3-0 and 4-2) .
Basel v Dnipro
Basel finished second in an unremarkable qualifying group with two wins and three draws, but scored in all their home games, including 2-2 with Genk. Currently second in Swiss Super League – 10 home games played / Scored 24 / Conceded 6. Thankfully for Basel, they’re not facing the mightiest attacks week-in-week-out, and thankfully for The Swiss Super League, it’s not subject to the Trades Descriptions Act. Dnipro finished top of their qualifying group, winning 5 of 6, beating Napoli 3-1 at home and scoring twice in the 4-2 return. Also beat PSV 2-1 away.
VFB Stuttgart v Genk
Stuttgart also came through a fairly unremarkable group with not great home form – two draws and one defeat, not scoring in either of those games. However, they had already qualified by beating Steua 5-1 away ahead of their last game. And they’ll score against Genk. Genk won the same dismal group as Basel were in, scoring in every game home and away, until a final snore draw at home with Basel with both qualified. 15 away games in the Jupiler Leagueso far this season – Scored 24 / Conceded 33
Good luck tonight, everybody
Anzi zenit ajaz napoli pays just under 9/1 that’ll do for me!!

Pays 12-1
If you want chelsea evens or above then wait for the inplay and hope it’s 0-0 after 10 minutes – 15 and i am sure you will get evens or above. Risk for they might score by then and be cut down to 1-5, 1-6, so if you see no value in 8/11. I’d take the 8-11 as insurance then see what you can get inplay.
Milesey
Chelsea v Prague —- over 4.5 goals
Torres to bag a brace —- no I havnt been drinking
If a young lad called Feruz is on the bench tonight, (I know he missed the last under 21 game) then could be worth anytime to score
AC, surely it’s too early for Islam Feruz. We of course know him well, being the Somalian refugee who signed for Celtic then left for Chelsea. Plays for Scotland Under-21s but I’d be surprised to see him getting a game in Europe so early in his career.
He has been banging in goals for fun in the under 21’s … he’s such a great prospect, Chelsea are very lucky to have him … It is probably just my wishful thinking, Like many Chelsea fans we would love for a few of the young blood to get some minutes on the pitch … With Ba being inlegible and Torres being the only actual out and out striker in the squad, Maybe he could get a place on the Bench … fingers crossed
Depending on how my horses do at 4pm, I will be putting on the winnings on:
Dnipro – over 1.5 team goals 6/4
Napoli – over 1.5 team goals 8/13
Bayern Levekausen Benfica BTTS 8/13
Above 5/1 for the treble
Paul Betfred doing double delight hat-trick heaven if you think Bale will get a couple.
Chris, not sure about two, I’ll be happy if he scores one, first would be better.
Is Willian not cuptied or does it not count cos he played Champions League?
Jonathan, he’ll be cup-tied. So long since they played I forgot.
Anzhi and Zenit hopefully an early double to start the night off well.
Yeah thats a nice double there Guido.
Good luck pal
Hope so AC… ;-)
Taking ur treble and adding Moenchengladbach Paul,looks good 2 me
Paul I wouldn’t back him to score 2 either but if you are going to back him for first goal then you’d be as well sticking the bet on with Betfred as they have best price of 5/1 anyway and if he did happen to score first then score again you would get 10/1.
Over 1.5 in the anzhi game should be safe then?
Any thoughts on the basel win lads?
Johnathan greive willian will not play tonite as he is cup tied with shakhtar. Sturridge is the same with liverpool.
4 fold btts – pays 10/1 with Stans
Leverkusen, Lazio & Genk are very solid for me tonight and i’ve added Spurs which may be a little risky but both have been scoring and conceding recently and surely Lyon would like to take a goal back home with, as it is now getting into the serious stage of the competition.
I am a little wary of teams that have been on winter break and not played for months but saying that can see Zenit, Ajax & Inter match possibly producing btts
Good Luck to you all.
Its also nicethe Liverpool game kicks off in 30 mins, anyone for 1-1 ….
Zenit Fenerbache Spurs treble -10 on 99 back

Awright Troops Wits Happnin
BONKERS BET – ZENIT -2 @ 10/1
Chelsea now 10/11, may reach evens by kick-off
Bryan, I’m just back in so don’t know what’s behind it although I saw Sparta getting tipped in a few places.
Chelsea have named a strong line-up and Sparta haven’t played a competitive game since the beginning of December. They did perform well earlier in the season at home in Europe though and Chelsea’s form has been poor recently so some people obviously see the 4/1 for Sparta as value. Personally I think 10/11 is a decent price for the away win though.
Bryan, I’m on the away but I’m aware it won’t be easy. And I can see why people would back against Chelsea but there is a difference in class here. Right, off to take the boy to his football. Back in a couple of hours.
Managed to get 19/20 with Bet365, happy with that.
Fender ache down to ten men already. Meireles sent off.
Fenerbache even…stupid predictive text.
Paul I missed the early kick off for btts. Which other one would you pick from tonight?
Took Zenit & Anzhi as an early double
Anzhi should be 3-1 up after Eto’o arsed around with a crap penalty.
Mr Fix It’s Treble
Leverkusen & Basel games over 2.5
Wanted BTTS on those but crappy bookies didn’t offer it. :(
3-1 Anzhi! :D
OHHHHHHH!!!!!! Fabulous strike from Hulkster! 1-0 Zenit! :D

hmmm dont know what to do. cheers anyway craig appreciated mate
Napoli 1st half stats according tae bet365 website only had 5 shots, 3 off target and plzen only had 1 shot and scored,
Zenit n Anzhi nice double early. Shame that little bugger Willian defected to Anzhi from Shakhtar…great player but greedy little sod by looks of it!
Hows Chelsea doing? anyone watching? ”’dthrylook like winning or is it cash in time??
GET THAT WASTE OF SPACE TORRES OFF NOW!
Sorry just read them! Might add them in to my accumulator for tonight! Just done a Chelsea/Napoli in-play double

Milesey

Napoli WTF?!!
Oscar saved the day!!!
Absolutely shocking Striker m8 looks like the game was nobbled lol
Yes Oscar
A wins a win but what a dire performance from Chelsea. That was one of the most frustrating matches i’ve ever watched. Marin and Torres are both a waste of space.
Dnipro or draw

Spurs athletico double
Good luck lads
Btts 4 fold – atletico Madrid Stuttgart Basle Gladbach
Bale 1st goal
Good luck
Did you see any of the Chelsea game Mr Fixit?
They were bloody awful. Completely devoid of ideas. They didn’t look like creating a chance until Oscar popped up with a cracking solo effort.
Bryan, nah I was watching Dalmuir U-11s v Dumbarton Utd U-11s!
Probably more exciting than the Chelsea game!
Did yer laddies team win m8 ?
1plus2, lost 5-4 after conceding a late goal. But I’m told at this level results don’t count, it’s all about development.
Aye m8 they used to say that to my youngest when they got beat don’t believe the hype they still hate getting beat and are equally as gutted as the next person lol
Dalmuir-dumbarton u11 take it yer boy wis playin Paul is he good enough tae go all the way encourage to the fullest mate
Lovely free kick from BALE. First goal
Hi guys….anyone know who takes Newcastle pens out of curiosity?? Have a 1st goalscorer double on Bale and Cabaye…..Newcastle pen may be my best shout!!!
Jamie, Ba used to take them, not sure if they’d once since they left. Could be Cabaye or Cisse but a Toon fan may have a better idea.
Yes bale!! C’mon Btts now:)
Cheers Paul…as I say, on what I have seen…hopefully if Cabaye takes them that may be my best chance of a lovely little 76/1 double up!!!
Lazio look a very big price at half time looking at the 1st half stats…they have had most of the possession and 10 efforts at goal already…an early equalizer and 10/1 will look massive !!!
Lazio 1-1 !!!!
2-1 lazio Jamie! Hope u got that on mate!
anyone got anything for the copa lib tonite
fathead, what are you going for tonight then on copa?
Guido are you around? anything on for tonight? i did bts on the argentine game last night and picked the only 0-0 mint!
Dave, gone for Newells palmeras strongest treble
Ok here is a challenge to take your minds off the recent goings on unfortunately i have had to give up work due to ill health and it’s left me with a £7000 worth of credit card tokens and now i am going to have to pay a shocking bedroom tax from april 2013.
So here’s the challenge within 2 years i want to have paid this £7000 off so anyone wanting to help me get shot of this debt feel free to give me some solid tips and lets start getting me debt free again lol
The 1st instalment of this so happened to be given courtesy of Mileseys Soft Falling Rain earlier today so only £6950 togo lol
Lets get the debt down !!!
1plus2, follow the tips, take the best ones and get it down gradually but don’t go mad.
Sound advice m8 but it’s picking the right ones that fecks me up lol
Thought it was a great price Peter…unfortunately my luck has been rank rotten for the last couple of weeks, so after debating with myself I left it…..hopefully someone took a a chance on it!!
Jamie, now down to 10 but Germans missed the pen. Amazing!
haha good luck wi that, start off wi £10 and each day put it on a 1/10 shot then put the winnings all on 1/10 shot, think its suhin lke 80 bets tae get u upti 10k. easier said than done tho :)
Unreal Paul. I cant catch a break just now bet wise…..then I decide not to bet and it looks like the luck may have went my way……SOD’S LAW !!!!
Jeez oh….the Germans got a 3rd pen!!!!! This time they scored !!!
Jamie, all over now. Red card looks costly.
Dnipro playing in a snowy blizzard. The ball boys have brooms in hand which there using every 5 minutes to brush the side lines. Terrible conditions
mr f. did cavoni play tonight for napoli
Go on Gladbach! Juan Arango ya little beauty!
Jonathan, too early with the celly mate.
3-3 Lazio……what a game!!!!
Nooooooo! Hahaha,that’s wot I get
Anyway what a result for me tonight. Paul I hope you took my advice with Betfred.
£50 Bale first goal returned £550
£50 Bale last goal returned £300
£100 on and £850 back – profit of £750 :-)
Damn I’m good.
You not posting your stakes didn’t last long did it Chris?
Not criticising, just having a wee chuckle. ;)
Treble up tonight, ajax, anzhi and I changed
napoli for Chelsea at the last minute, just as well I did. Also done Mr fixits scorers double was goin to raise the stake and do bale as a single but just went with the double, oh well, no too bad a night though. I can’t complain
That’s probably a lesson there as well for anybody, don’t criticise the tips that get posted if you don’t fancy something don’t do it take what you like and add your own ideas. Don’t criticise the tipsters!!
Jack sparrow I initially didn’t post my tips at all. I only announced my bets when Guido asked and
he likes to know what I stake.
Oh and before anyone asks that was before he scored first and last
Dave, Just put Newells Old Boys on in running in the Copa Libertadores..0-0 at ht at 10/11…forgot it was on
The Strongest (Bolivia)might be worth a punt at home to Arsenal Sarandi (Argentina)later tonite…at 5/6. They have the advantage of playing at high altitude against a team that probably has only had 3/4 days to acclimatise. Arsenal are no duds being from Argentina of course
Newells 2-0 up. Damn i missed that boat!
Striker, what about Palmeiras later? They’re shortish but maybe -1.
Paul/Striker – wid maybe watch Palmeiras..they finished 3rd bottom n got relegatedto Div 2 and got into the Copa Libertadores as fa cup winner? dunno how big a deal fa cup is in Brazil?…. might be worth taking on tonight perhaps??
Guido, I’m no expert but there’s been money for Palmeiras. Apparently winning the cup’s a big deal and they got relegated because they concentrated on the knockout contest. Have signed Kleber and a few others and playing a Peruvian team in Sporting Cristal at home. However, over 2.5 goals could be a better bet because their games have been high scoring recently looking at the stats.
Perfect sense Paul…not trying to put anyone off Palmeiras they are a big name etc but I think I’ll take a wee chance on Sporting…just for the Sport/nice odds!!
They are one of the stronger Argie teams Striker.
I’m gonna have a wee dabble on Sporting Crisal of Peru streaked their league by 20plus pts away against Palmeiras of Brazil who were relegated but qualified by winning FA Cup. Obviously Brazil has better overall quality but a top Brazillian side Gremio have already lost to a Chilean team tonite. Not saying its a cert but at 5/1 I’ll have a wee drop on..cood be well wrong…if I am I am?? :-(
Guido, I’ll bow to your superior knowledge and we’ll find out in the morning if you’re right.
hahaha…nahdefo not superior knowledge Paul…just maybe found a wee bit of value…mibbees aye mibbees naw?!! :-)
