FOUR British teams pursue their dream of European glory on Thursday as the Europa League raches the Last 16 stage.
Pick of the ties is undoubtedly AC Milan's visit to Old Trafford, it's just a shame that the big ticket, Zalatan Ibrahimovic will be missing on his return. Milan have a few injury worries to contend with and that's prhaps reflected in their 9/2 odds. United are just 8/13 and surprisingly short at 1/2 to qualify from the tie.
Newly crowned Scottish champions Rangers travel to Prague to take on Slavia. The Czech side stunned Leicester City in the last round with a 2-0 win at the King Power stadium but the Gers have been outstanding in Europe and are 4/7 to avoid defeat. bet365 make them 4/6 favourites to qualify and with home advantage in the second leg there's a very real chance they'll reach the quarter finals.
Bookies expect Spurs to find things relatively straight forward at home to Dinamo Zagreb. The Croatians topped their group which included Tottenham's opponents on the previous round, Wolfsberger, whom they dispatched with ease 8-1 on aggregate. Dinamo won both matches against the Austrians so should provide a sterner test.
Arsenal will have revenge on their minds in Greece. Opponents Olympiakos knocked the Gunners out of the competition last season despite winning the first leg 1-0 in Piraeus. Olympiakos are runaway leaders in the Super League and no mugs, either side have won five of the last ten meetings, so Arsenal should be happy to come home without defeat. Mikel Arteta's side are 10/11 to win tonight.

Double here for tonight’s Europa league games. 2 home sides who are strong at home and who I think should be good enough to take a lead into their second legs.
Ajax vs Young Boys
Ajax to win
Tottenham vs Dinamo Zagreb
Tottenham to win
Double pays 1.31/1 (Betfair)
Reading on both games below ??
Ajax vs Young Boys
Europa League ??
Thursday 11th March, 17:55 ⏰
Dutch champions Ajax who have won 12 of their 16 home games this season including 6 of their last 7. Ajax also impressively knocked out French league leaders winning both games 2-1.
Young boys shocked Bundesliga side Leverkusen in the last round with a 6-3 aggregate win. The Swiss champions also look set to regain their crown currently being 19 points clear.
For me, despite their superb result in the last round, I think Ajax will take a lead to Switzerland due to their strong record at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
Tottenham vs Dinamo Zagreb
Europa League ??
Thursday 11th March, 20:00 ⏰
Tottenham come into tonight’s game winning their last 4 in all competitions. Spurs have won all 4 of their Europa League proper home games. Tottenham comfortably knocked out Austrian outfit Wolfsberger 8-1 on aggregate including a 4-0 win at home.
Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb are currently unbeaten in all 8 Europa league games this season. Zagreb topped a group consisting of feyenoord, CSKA Moscow and Tottenham’s last opponents Wolfsberger and knocked out Champions League drop outs Krasnodar 4-2 on aggregate in the last round.
While Zagreb are still unbeaten in this years Europa league, they haven’t played anyone of Tottenham’s quality yet. With Tottenham on a good run of form, I see the North London side taking a lead to Croatia next week.

Barranquilla FC

Deportes Quindío
01:05
Colombian Cup 1st leg
Barranquilla to score 10-11 (hills)
BTTS 11-8 (skybet)
Barranquilla are rubbish in the league and often don’t score.
Reason for this is that it is a 1st leg cup game and quindio know they have a home 2nd leg to look forward to and might not be 100% at it.
Recently quindio have conceded at 3 teams in the bottom 5 of the league, one at San Andres who are the only team had enough to be below Barranquilla ?.
Low scorer here, 1-1 would go against league form but would suit my bet
????????
Finished 1-1 ?nearly choked on my cornflakes.
?? 2 winners ??
Hi Elvis. Well done, great pick. Don’t know if you saw my comment the other day. The ‘overnight’ night owls that you post, I always miss them, as head of to bed at midnight for work the next day. Is there any chance you can post these really late selections before midnight?
Golf
The Players Championship
Ball striking and shots gained approach are this weeks main points of analysis I’m looking at, also looking at recent form and what may surprise some people is that course form doesn’t mean a great deal here at TPC Sawgrass,
Collin Morikawa leads the way this year with 1.305 shots gained approach, he is also 6th for ball striking,
On recent form Jordan Spieth has had a 4th, 3rd, 15th and 4th in his last 4 tournaments

The problem is that Granada have to many missing players for this game.
They should still have enough vishal,Molde have only ever beaten Spanish opposition once and that was a dead rubber.If they only win 1-0 i get stake back
Hope they do the job for you mate. I wish u good luck with your bets ?

El Zamalek v Ceramica Cleopatra
Cleopatra to score 11/10
Not a league that usually has a lot of goals so was surprised to see that the away side have scored in 11 of their 14 games and have also conceded in 11. BTTS has come up in 9 out of 14. The one worry for me would be two of the three games they haven’t scored in were against 2nd and 3rd place and their opponents today are top of the league. However, the 3 games they didn’t score in all came consecutively and since then they’ve scored in their last 9 games on the bounce.
Zamalek have a really good defensive record and have kept 8 clean sheets out of their 13 league games. At home they have a perfect 5 wins out of 5 and 3 clean sheets. It’s tough to back against that kind of defensive record but I’m willing to back it just because of how consistent the away side have been for scoring this season. Very little difference between the odds on just an away goal and BTTS so not worth the added risk of taking BTTS.
Looked at the Europa League games but first legs are always tricky and could find an argument against any bet hence why I have went for the game in Egypt above. sticking to a low stakes acca for interest:
Ajax win
Arsenal win
Roma win
Spurs win

Bit of a weird scoreline in Paraguay last night…1-4 final score anddowned my bets to make it back to back barren days.
But, there’s always a chance of salvation in Iceland and I’m tapping into a fixture that has had a cracking history for me in recent years.
Seems like yesterday but 2016 saw two of the biggest scorelines for selections in the 4 Dield that I’d plumped for – Afrika in particular have continued to be (mostly on the end of) some massive scorelines in the ensuing years.
BERSERKIR VS. AFRÍKA (8.00pm)
I’m going for goals again here and I’d gladly accept the 11 or 15 match goals seen in 2016 – relatively sensible stakes but if there was ever a fixture for a potential cracker…this is it!

CONMEBOL Women’s Copa Libertadores
AE Kindermann (W)
V
Boca Juniors (W)
Starting at 22:30
BTTS 11-10 (Betfair sportsbook) *NAP*
Kindermann are a decent Brazilian women’s team who know how to score at home.
Boca women don’t seem to play in a league but turn up in the Copa every year according to flash score.
Boca are 4-6 to win which seems odd here.
I think this will be closer.
Over 2-5 is 13-10 also which suggests bookies think it will be a low scorer.
Think stats are irrelevant considering the sparse info on Boca except for 2 stats.
Kindermann scored in 16 of their last 18 homes, the 2 blanks were the last 2 games of last season.
One was a second leg semi final when they had already won 3-1 away and didn’t need to score.
The other was the play off final 1st leg and they drew 0-0 with eventual champions Corinthians who won the 2nd leg 4-2
*** Boca last 13 games in the Copa since 2011 were btts and most btts and overs ***.
Got to say kindermann look a big price at 9-2 ?
????????????
GL Elvis…Did you see my comment on your earlier post mate?
Boca played in the “Transition 2020” Primera Division in Argentina – it took place in December 2020 and Jan 2021. Boca won it. It looks like they played 7 matches – not a single goal conceded. No idea about the level of that tournament
They conceded a goal in their two matches in the Copa so far… I hope they concede today as well!
Good luck!
Here you go Elvis – bit of bedtime reading if you’re interested! Boca Ladies turned pro a couple of years ago and have won the Campeonato Femenino 24 times ?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campeonato_de_F%C3%BAtbol_Femenino
There is no team to touch them inArgentina but their history in the Copa Lib is littered with both sides scoring so looks an OK price.
KF.
didn’t see your message until now.
I usually let the dust settle on my evening bet before looking at early Morning games.
Games are sparse and sometimes nowt worth looking at most days.
My brain can’t multi task unfortunately ?.
Will try and post before midnight but with today’s bet starting at 10-30 probably will be after midnight today if at all.

I’ll be keeping a close eye on any games that get given the go ahead as likely to be the same with reserve teams out and even 3rd string
