IT should be eight but we're left with six Europa League games tonight.
The matches between Sevilla vs Roma and Inter vs Getafe have been postponed and others last-16 ties including Olympiakos vs Wolves and LASK vs Man United will be staged behind closed doors.
Rangers vs Bayer Leverkusen will play out at a packed Ibrox but it might be one of the last games to have a huge crowd as measures increase to control the spread of the disease.
I've posted a Europa League preview with reasoning for Bayer to win at Rangers but not adding anything else with points as there is so much doubt about how games will go behind closed doors. A possible treble is both to score at Eintracht and Bayer and LASK not to lose at 4-1.
Last night I was incredibly unlucky with my two trebles although it has to be said both could have been covered or cashed out.
I needed one more goal at PSG vs Dortmund for the first treble and the other was let down by Liverpool to qualify. That looked good when they led 2-0 in extra time but they collapsed with Adrian's blunder for the first being crucial.
Well done to all the winners on Wednesday including Scott with another members bet success.

Lask Linz v Man Utd
Man Utd to win at 19/20*****(NAP)
Tough one to take last night the team played excellent then your goalkeeper drops a boo boo/onwards.
Best of luck
Yes the difference was the 2 keepers.Liverpool had stacks of chances too . Not sure if Henderson was fit.
Should’ve been out of sight in regular time. Finishing nowhere near good enough last night.
I think their keeper had an excellent game and made some good saves,world class saves.
He made good saves mate but it’s ones you’d expect a keeper of his quality to make. They absolutely battered Madrid it definitely should’ve been a lot more than 1-0.
The problem Liverpool have is how do they get a top class keeper to be no.2 to Alisson?
Hit the nail on the head Jimba a good question.
Yup Firmino has been nowhere near good enough this season if you are going to win games you need a regular striker who knows where the goal is.
Thursday tips
Same as last night for the 2 main bets focus is on 1 match rangers v Bayer. Rangers can only lift themselves for Europe and Celtic but really can’t see past the Germans here. The last round rangers managed an excellent win v braga but let’s be honest every goal they scored in the home game had a huge element of luck and for me that luck runs out tonight.
Couple of bets are
Leverkusen dc
Leverkusen o1.5 tgs
5/4 hills NAP
Leverkusen win
23/20 hills NB
Waiting on team news for the other matches, gotta fancy Frankfurt at home to Basel if the go strong and also interested to see the Man U line up. With a crucial tie against spurs on Sunday for the race for the top 4 I can’t see them being at full strength which should help LASK balance out the fact it’s behind closed doors. With martial a doubt for Sunday it looks pretty certain he won’t play tonight and my worry for LASK would’ve been if they went 3 at the back and were up against the pace of James and martial. If the likes of mata and lingard play then LASK should handle that comfortably.
All teams will go strong tonight bit daft to suggest otherwise,i don’t think Man Utd playing Spurs Sunday will have any bearing on who plays tonight as this could be their route into the Champions League.
id Be very surprised if they went full strength tonight. They have 2 chances to take care of LASK. Be a lot asking the same 11 to play Man City LASK and spurs in a week. Spurs are a shambles United know beat them and they end their hopes of top 4 while boosting theirs.
United won’t go full strength tonight.
Solskjaer will be thinking of keeping it tight and getting a result to finish them off in the second leg with Spurs in mind for Sunday.
Rubbish
Macca you canny rubbish peoples thoughts before team news is announced because they differ from yours. The bottom line is your guessing as well until line ups come thru. With newts being a utd fan he might have more insight on it than you, much the same way that folk ask you for your info on Liverpool team news just because your a fan.
All teams will go strong,you don’t play a second string at this stage of a European competition,United can’t afford to take any chances and their squad isn’t good enough to be playing a second stringside especially when it could be their only way into the Champions League.
That’s like saying Rangers won’t go strong because they have Celtic at the weekend,give your head a wobble mate
Macca we didn’t go strong in the last round, why would you say it’s rubbish
Brugge away played Romero in net, Dalot, Perreira, Mata and Lingard. That’s 5 players who wouldn’t start other than injuries.
Martial out so there’s one for starters.
He’ll play our strongest back four with the only question being Wan Bassaka or Williams at left back.
I wasn’t just referring to your comment newts,it’s knockout competition and it’s getting to the latter stages,it’s a big gamble from Solskjaer to play anything but a strong side.If United were to lose 0-3 because he played a weakened team he’s going to look a right t*t isn’t he as top four is highly unlikely.
And to say give your head a wobble by comparing Uniteds fixture to Rangers is nonsense.
Rangers are playing far superior opposition at home and have no choice but to go strong and they ain’t winning the league whereas United don’t have to go full strength against weaker opposition with a home leg to come and Champions League qualification a distinct possibility
behave yourself macca. the situations between the 2 is different and you know it.
We’ve conceded 2 goals in 10 games one being De Geahs blunder against Everton.
He’ll have Sunday in mind and play full strength at the back. The other six players could be anyone’s guess
Not many class keepers are going to sign to be No.2.
The joe Aribo goal was lucky. Eh.!
Aye joe it was it breaks off the defender straight back to his feet. Or you telling me he meant to play a 1-2 with him aye?
Fairly straightforward today.
1 acca and 1 single.
Frankfurt win.
Home advantage plus fans will be there to provide a raucous atmosphere.
United win.
Seriously improved of late and on form. Watched Lask linz after Sean highlighted them but watched them struggle against a wounded Salzburg. Plus mo fans.
Wolves DC.
No fans which removes home bias. Wolves set up well to expose Olympiakos attacking game. Wolves better than us (Arsenal) and we took 3 points there. May take wolves straight win as a single also.
Leverkusen DC
Simply the far better team but as we know Rangers are really unpredictable and can raise their game hence why only taking the DC.
5.13/1 marathon bet. 2 points.
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Leverkusen DC and under 3.5
Leverkusen play possession based football which leads to goals when teams attack them, they will be happy to sit back and so to will Rangers I think as surely the tie will be over if Rangers try to match Leverkusens game. My feeling is that rangers will take a low scoring draw and try and nick an away goal in the away leg.
5/6. B365. 5points.
Just seen that Frankfurt game has no fans.
Will keep the bet but be aware as I had thought there would be
The Ibrox turf is like a ploughed field and that will probably suit Rangers . I am waiting on Leverkusen for a 13/5 double — but i think the game will be a bit of a lottery . Cards might be the best way to go . GL
Hearts to finish bottom of the league, 9/2 (skybet)
Can’t believe the price on offer after last night, Hearts are currently 4 adrift of nearest team Hamilton with only 8 games left to play. 6 of Hearts last 8 games are against teams in the lower half of the league due to the split but I actually think this works against them. Hearts have only won 4 games all season, however only 1 of these has come against teams in the bottom 6. They have taken only 9 points from 13 games against teams currently in the bottom 6.
Due to the nature of the split the teams round about them are all playing each other and so the other relegation contenders are going to pick up points.
Furthermore Hearts are away to Livingston at the weekend who have a very strong home record, while Ross County play St Mirren.
looks a great shout. every week you think this is the week when hearts start turning it around and move up the table, and every week they fail to do so, and that’s been since the winter break. even their great win against hibs counted for little as Hamilton beat rangers.
I got 40/1 Dont know who it was,but someone mentioned Hearts to finish bottom a few months ago.
I’ll rephrase that…i couldve got !!!!
If hearts played hibs every wk they would be in the champions league. 9/2 is a great bet.
All Spanish La Liga matches postponed for the next two weeks.
Bummer this could be our last proper weekend of uk footy
Yeah it is getting worse day by day. Now also in the south of Holland, PSV, Willem II etc, all postponed.
Hearts to finish bottom now cut to 5/2 on Skybet
3/1 B365
Eintracht Frankfurt v Basel
LASK Linz v Man Utd
Wolfsburg v Shakhtar Donetsk
A Goal in Both Halves Treble
(24/5, Bet Victor)
Olympiakos v Wolves
Tough old game tonight that will be played behind closed doors which is good for us.
Probably fancy us to get a result tonight but just getting this far is a great bonus.
We’re a better 2nd half team. Always likely to pick up a card.
Taking wolves to score second half with each team getting at least a card. Really good value on this to be honest.
11/8 bet365 NAP
Dont be silly rich, you deserve to be there & definitely have a decent chance of winning the whole thing.
Will be supporting you tonight and for the rest of the competition. Good luck.
Thanks mate. Yeah I agree we deserve it. It’s just hard as a wolves fan. A few years back if someone would have said “you’ll be holding your own in Europe and the premier league” I’d have probably fell over laughing.
I still feel we’re a couple of players off of really doing something special but I’m enjoying the ride.

Evening all,

https://mrfixitstips.co.uk/previews/olympiakos-vs-wolves-betting-tips-and-predictions/
Good luck with all bets 👍
As I expected Man Utd don’t go with their first choice XI, I’m backing LASK to get something from this game. This is the biggest match of these players lives and crowd or not they will be giving their all against what is a half and half united side. Not sure they can do enough to win but I’m going to chance a small stake on it anyway as the have such a good home record in the EL, but they are certainly good enough to get a draw.
LASK DC 21/20 hills (1.5pts)
LASK win 19/5 various (0.75pts)
Correct score punt 1-1 6/1 bet 365 (0,5pt)
United have gone strong,Romero,Williams,Bailly,Maguire,Shaw,Fred,Mctominay,Mata,Fernandes,James,ighalo.This is a strong line up.Even more confident on the away win.
😂😂😂😂 United have gone strong bar the Injuries they have,they can’t go much stronger.United now 4/6
They are Man U players. Any XI would be “strong” compared to LASK. I never said they wouldn’t go strong this morning I said it wouldn’t be their first choice XI and it’s not.
Of course it’s their first choice,who isn’t a normal starter there.They haven’t dropped to 4/6 for nothing/.
United all over Lask. Should win this comfortably. Difference in quality
The epl wont finnish with fans in the grounds. The flights will be stopped very soon. I can see all games in the uk to follow europe and cancel all games in the next 3 to 4 wks.

Surely these egghead scientists and boffins now with billions of $$$ at their disposal can find a cure/antidote/vaccine to banish this killer pox?
They can whip up a vaccine in hours. but you have to test for safety on larger and larger sample groups and you can’t speed up the time that takes. You have to start testing on a tiny number of people and expand from there. Several months and hundreds of people down the line it might seem fine, but then you realise 1/1000 people who get the vaccine die, and then you have to start all over again.
All roads lead to Iceland for me tonight 🇮🇸

Btts double 23/10
Add rangers over 2.5mgs treble 5/1

Austrian league no where near the standard of the premiership,LASK getting found wanting against the better sides,looking a top call at minute macca
Think I’m going to bet on unders in the games that are behind closed doors very dull
No Kevin volland, Bailey and a couple of other first team players on the bench. Germans don’t rate Scottish football at all. Leverkusen a very good side, so maybe there second string can still take rangers apart, if they are at it I could see Leverkusen scoring atleast 4.
Hope your right rangers done me big on braga
Yeah just like Braga did eh…what u really mean is you hope Bayer score 4 just like rangers will on Sunday.
You counting goals in the warm up I take it jim?
At least well get the derby macca

To think the people on this sight had me thinking this lask team had even a shred of a chance, lol
United have played well but no fans has defo taken the edge of LASK.
Agree mr f,it would of been harder with an atmosphere for sure.Fans make football not the other way round.
At their absolute best they would’ve had a chance but they were way way below that tonight. Their record in the EL proves as much, but 3 first choice players out and no fans had much more of an impact than anyone could’ve predicted. Apologies to anyone who followed my thoughts, it was obviously a risky call that didn’t pan out.
Totally agree re fans macca. That was an absolute horrible watch. Every other game that stadium has been absolutely rocking despite only holding 14000.
Lask Linz v Man Utd
Man Utd to win at 19/20*****(NAP) WON
Odds soon dropped soon as the team were announced,can’t understand why anyone doubted they would go full strength.
Nice call
No joy with my bookings in the early ko LOSERS . close but not close enough .
Managed 1 pen bet up 11/2 WON . Could have been worse .
The DFL and DFB are considering ending the Bundesliga season after this weekend, according to the Express. No trophy would be awarded and no relegation would take place. Instead, the Bundesliga would be expanded to 22 teams for 2020-21 with the top four teams from the second tier
Could definitely happen to the premiership.
No trophy for Liverpool could happen.
In your dreams – no way they’re going to deny Liverpool.
This made me chuckle mr f,they might do that in Germany with the league been tighter at the top but when a team is 25 points clear not a chance they could deny Liverpool it.😂😂😂😂😂
Ha Britain is still in denial mode just now so that won’t happen. 200 thousand or whatever at Cheltenham, 55000 at a field 50000 at ibrox tonight and Sunday, 80000 at the manc derby, on youse go, carry on no crisis here.
I’d love to know what’s worse – going to the game outdoors or watching it in a packed pub indoors.
Worth a go, love the rise from Macca. He’s a good lad. Nice tip today Macca 👍
Went to our game v West ham on the weekend and it was shocking, club closed loads of the ticket games so there were massive bunched up crowded queues to get into the stadium. Took an extra 20mins but considering whats going on around the world it was a really poor decision from Arsenal.
Looks like our battle with the bookies will be coming to an early close as well.
You are spot on El Gooner I think this could now become a reality the whole football season could be null& void and no premier title for Liverpool .For a football match to take place you need a certain number of medical staff if the NHS is at stretching point with not enough staff to go around no medical staff no football matches and the season null & void and if it’s null & void no trophy for Liverpool and relegation for the Norwich and the likes
Quick question and I think I already know…does a straight red = 2 cards?
Depends on what bookie you are with .
Nope. Would count in the 20+ points on sites like Skybet though
Most do.
Cheers…with B365
