NEXT time there's a midweek Championship card remind me to take a few nights off.
After Tuesday's poor results it wasn't much better on Wednesday with Derby and Norwich failing to win.
My three bets were downed and I wish I'd stuck to the Champions League as the over 2.5 double I put up in the Daily Record was a winner.
On my Spurs v Dortmund preview I got two out of two including Son to score and Scott did even better on his Ajax v Real Madrid preview with three out of three including Karim Benzema to score first at 9-2.
Well done everyone else who managed a winner.
It's all about the Europa League on Thursday and I've posted a Celtic v Valencia preview and Scott has put up BATE v Arsenal including another first scorer. Chelsea are the other British team in action as they head to Malmo and both English sides should come away with wins although I'm more confident about the Gunners whose boss Unai Emery loves this tournament.
There are plenty of other good ties to look forward to and Scott has also previewed Lazio v Sevilla.
I'm putting up Red Bull Salzburg as a Super Single away to Bruges. The Austrians were a class apart in the group stage as they won all their matches and will be looking to at least go as far as last season when they reached the semis.
Things to consider when looking at the Europa League is team news, league position (for example if a team can't win a Champions League place that way) and finally if a team's been on a winter break or still are.
I've picked out two trebles and they're both for low stakes considering the tournament and its intricacies. Apologies for lack of reasoning – working tonight and had to get a look at Saturday's card – but they've been researched and are form and stats based.
I've add HullShaker's tip to this post as he's also struggling for time.

HullShaker's Tip
Copa Sudamericana action here and not much in terms of a quality difference as the Venezuelans travel to Bolivia but home territory could be key and I’d expect Pari to grab the first-leg advantage with at least two goals representing decent value
- Royal Pari over 1.5 team goals (9.15pm)
- (10-11, bet365) – 3pts

Celtic vs Valencia tips
I’d love Celtic to win this game but I’m unsure. If Celtic are to win I’d imagine it would prob be 1-0. I think it’s more likely to be a draw with 0-0 a possibility. I’m backing no Goalscorer as this should always be the case if looking at 0-0 as own goals are disregarded for First Goalscorer but not for correct score. Betfred offer 9/1 for no Goalscorer whilst ironically they offer 7/1 for 0-0. Try working that one out.
BetVictor offer 11/2 and Sky, Ladbrokes and Hills offer 6/1 so 9/1 is a stand out price.
Another good price I see is Dedryck Boyata to be booked. He’s 6/4 with Skybet, 23/10 with Paddy Power and a huge 11/2 with Unibet/888Sport.
Recommend Bets
No Goalscorer @ 9/1
Boyata to be Booked @ 11/2
Good luck everyone
I too reckon it will be tight – Celtic can get something from it if they play at their best.
Brilliant odds for Boyata card Chris, cheers for pointing out
Tottenham have made it a habit recently of scoring very late in games. Dortmund should contribute to the scoreline and like yesterday’s games I think there is good chance of at least two goals in the second half.
UEFA Champions League 20:00
Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund – over 150 total goal minutes 11/10 Bet365 **NAP** (216 minutes) ✅ WON
83rd and 85th minute, cheers Spurs that’ll do nicely 👍 That’s the fourth game in a row now that that they’ve scored after the 80th minute. Well done to yesterday’s winners.
I stuck £2.02 on Ramos card/Real win at 6/1 in a 4fold wi Celtic, Salzburg & Zagreb BTTS/WIN for £2,475. Hope the betting gods are wi me and I’ll feck off tae Valencia for the away leg next week
That would be nice.
Good luck with that mate. I managed to get myself 2 tickets for tomorrow night.
Should be a good night – I’ll be watching in a busy office then off Friday and Saturday so not all bad.
Alves, good luck with your bet🤞
i’m off to the game also
I think Celtic will take them, going to have a bet at the Ladbrokes at the ground at halftime haha
Will need aw the luck I can get 😂
I could’ve had a ticket but my brother and that never even took the 4 tickets available to them, nightshift anyway but will ve tempted tae jack it if it comes in. Fancy 2-1 win tonight then get pumped across there.
Treble foe me today
Arsenal
Chelsea
Napoli 1.75/1
best of luck
Treble
Arsenal 4/11
Red Bull Dc 1/3
Chelsea 2/5
Cards are in the air tonight
Some decent referee appointments to oversee these first legs which rest assured can be just as lively as second legs (read Man Utd v PSG)
I would be looking at 50+ booking pts / over 4.5 cards in all of the following based on the man in charge (if available)
Lazio v Sevilla (Slovan Vincic)
Olympiakos v Dynamo Kiev (Craig Pawson)
Galatasaray v Benfica (Gil Manzano)
Club Brugge v Salzburg (Georgi Kabakov)
Viktoria Plzen v Dinamo Zagreb (Serdar Gozubuyuk)
Celtic v Valencia (Ovidiu Hategan)
Strongest shouts for me are Lazio v Sevilla and Club Brugge v Salzburg. Vincic has shown an average of 5.40 cards in European competitions this season and neither of these sides are shrinking violets. Also expecting a few goals which will help the cause
Georgi Kabakov meanwhile averages 5.33 in Europe this season including 11 in his last Europa League outing. I’m again expecting goals and a fast paced affair between Brugge and Salzburg and I think the cards will come naturally
Lazio v Sevilla
Club Brugge v Salzburg
Over 4.5 cards double 5/2 (10Bet)
Going for a penalty trixie in three of the early K.O. Europa league .
Lazio v Seville 3/1
Galatasaray v Benfica 3/1
Rennes v Betis 3/1
All three up pays 108/1 Unibet
Also on pens in the Rennes v Betis match
Rennes miss one 20/[1. Score one . 9/1
Betis miss one 22/1. score one . 9/1
Bet365
Oops . 22/1 for a Rennes miss .
Arsenal, Olympiakos Win 1.7/1
Will take Emery’s Europa record into account – and Arsenal really should be beating Bate. Add in the Greek’s who are very strong at home against a Kiev side just coming off their winter break. GL all having a go at the Europa Lottery today!
Well on on the goals yesterday wc
cheers macca – had given up at HT !!
Long shot single and double
Krasnador won their 3 home group games by the score line of 2-1 . They also won these games coming from a losing position at half time . I had a tenner on their 3rd home group game of ht away ft krasnador which paid about 25\1 .
I know the Russian league hasn’t quite started yet and team news will be crucial so I’m only backing small 2.50 stakes in
Half time Bayer full time krasnador 33\1
Krasnador to win 2-1 11-1
Bet builder double 66/1
Scunnered with goals this week. was going to have a night off it tonight but a wdw treble at high odds has caught my eye. the odds obviously reflect the bookmakers chances but I fancy these 3 and ill say why.
wdw treble
celtic
Salzburg
sporting
17/1 bet 365
celtic- this might be rope a dope but complaints from the Spaniards about how tired they are, they don’t like the ball, and the spine of their team missing suggests to me that they aren’t completely up for this in the manner they should be. parkhead under the European lights is not a place to be going in at less than 100%. celtic are in excellent form since the winter shutdown and know they have to take a lead to spain to progress. celtic to win by 1 goal for me
Salzburg- still in the midst of their winter break at the moment but this side have been over course and distance before and that wont be a problem to them. semi finalists last year they have plenty of quality, (2nd favs imo behind Napoli) and having won at Leipzig and celtic then a trip to hit and miss brugge wont hold any fear for them.
sporting-breezed through their group and gave arsenal 2 tough ties, a home tie against one of the worst sides left in the competition, shouldn’t hold any fears. I cant predict the villareal line up but currently sitting 2nd bottom 4 pts from safety in la liga youd have to think their eyes might be focusing elsewhere atm. the Spanish side only mustered 2 wins in 6 matches in what was an easy group and I think sporting will be a step up for them that they will find too much tonight.
good luck
apologies that’s it a typo, its 16/1 not 17/1
all 3 sides dc is 17/10 if you prefer the safety net of a draw. still a very nice price imo.
I have 0 faith in Napoli to win the Europa at all, Frankfurt are the outside bet for me, behind Arsenal for the competition.
I think plenty of sides will fancy their chances, obviously bookies will have arsenal and Chelsea as the favourites but while theres still a chance of finishing 4th in the league I cant see either of them giving it their full concentration. theres plenty of sides who could beat both if they don’t.
like the look of the treble though mate.
Yeah aarron. I have a small bet on Frankfurt 25/1 — and Salzburg 20/1. both each way..
Ya never know mate .
yeah I got Frankfurt at 25/1 a while back – tbh the winner of the 2 legs in that tie will reach the final imo.
means nothing that frankfurt are away tbh, they just score a power together and the front 3 are just too good together, can see btts both halves coming in tonight but happy with 9/4 for 3.5 – massive price, will risk doubling it with leverkussen at 11/1 mainly because krasnodar are amazing at home.
might also do a single of penalties in both games as well.
in play pays 2.6/1
Heidleberg RT7
Over 2.5mgls
unsure why Malmo are 7/1 tbh, without looking at team news for Chelsea that is way too big, this is a team who score pretty much every game at home, they beat besiktas 1-0 in Turkey, and beat my favourite team to bet on ever, midtjylland 2-0 away from home as well.
malmo tgls 1.5 9/2 PP.
also on a same game multi for the celtic game, i’m going and hoping for goals.
burke score – 12/5 alone
gameiro score
over 40 booking points
over 8 corners
over 36/1
also taking goals in the Frankfurt game and leverkussen 3.5 double 11/1 WH
as well 2.5 in those 2 and 2.5 in rennes and krasnodar games at 16/1 booted.
rennes and sevilla that is meant to say for the 16/1
Malmö are towards the end of their end of their end of season break, maybe that why price is big .
can’t believe some of these prices on ladbrokes..
haller and rebic atgs 14/1
jovic 2 plus goals frankfurt win or draw and over 3.5 match goals.
BTTS Double
Krasnodar – Leverkusen
Shakhtar – Frankfurt
1.69/1 Bet365
Tennis single – Verdasco to win a set 5/6 1.5 pts
We should see fatigue piling on Medvedev here and i expect it to be close
Unai Emery has selected an extremely strong squad for the trip to Belarus tonight with only Elneny & Nketiah being the two players who haven’t seen regular 1st team action this season. Whatever team he selects, should be way to strong for Bate and I expect to see starts for Mkhitaryan, Suarez & Lacazette up front.
This is the perfect game to restore done confidence and form going into a couple of very winnable home games to keep top 4 position in the league hopes alive, and I think we’ll see a strong performance from the gunners tonight.

ROYAL PARI VS. MONAGAS (9.15 pm):

My nap for tonight is
Benfica 9/5
An absolute steal of a price and a case of pricing a mediocre team based on their past. Benfica wouldn’t look out of place in the champions league knockout stages where as gala have reached their ceiling in this competition.
Benfica have nvr won in turkey on 7 attempts, not saying they won’t, but just an observation for any1 thinking about this bet.
Gd luck
That was the whole reasoning behind my bet. The bookies and others will judge/price gala by past performances when they are in fact a mediocre team at best now and benfica are a top class side
Gd call 👏

Followed you on this one too Hull, definitely worth a punt, no harm done. Unbelievably no 2nd half goals, wish we went corners instead,1 in the first half, 8 in the second lol
1 out of 4 only tonight and that was me picking for a return of 2.
Valencia though didn’t have to work hard for there 2 goals took there chances and the Scottish sides are a victim of the league they play in when it comes to playing sides from the elite leagues.
The spanish will dominate the Euro tourneys again come May.
