UNAI Emery did it again! The Spaniard became the most succesful manager in the history of the Europa League / UEFA Cup, lifting the trophy for a record fourth time after doing a job on Manchester United.
David De Gea was the fall guy for United in an incredible penalty shoot-out that saw 21 consecutive penalties scored, only the Spanish goalkeeper to see his spot kick saved by his counterpart Rulli.
Well done to SlipsTips who nailed all three tips in his Europa League final preview which included a booking for Capoue and a goal for Cavani who scored his eighth goal in his eleventh cup final.
The game may not have been a classic but hopefully we'll see the same levels of drama in Saturday's Champions League final.
Thursday looks like a quiet day with few matches however we do have a couple of match previews; one from the A-League featuring Macarthur Bulls and Central Coast Mariners which kicks-off at 10.05am, and another in the evening in France where Toulouse and Nantes play-off for a place in Ligue 1 next season.
Greg is off to Scandanavia for his Bet of the Day where there's a full card of Eliteserien matches in Norway. His double pays 13/10 and features the top two teams from last season.

Norwegian action for me tonight and my old favourites bodo are in action at home, which means I’ll be on them. Been hanging fire betting on all their games so far because A- it’s the start of a new season and B- I’ve been waiting to see how they cope with the loss of last seasons front 3 that were so pivotal in their goal scoring exploits, but they look as tho they will challenge for the title again at this early stage and can be back for most home games at least. Opponents haugesand started back a week later and are still getting up to speed, they haven’t conceded a goal in their 2 games so far but haven’t scored one either, so I’m backing the home men to win, score a couple and get their usual barrage of corners. Ideally I was looking at 5 team corners for them, but the lines been set at 6. Slightly more riskier but I’m willing to go for it, they’ve had 21 in their last 2 games. For the NB it’s the later game in the shape of molde v valerenga, these 2 finished 2nd and 3rd last season and it should be a tight game but I’ll be on the home men to continue their impressive start to the season and take the 3pts whilst netting at least twice, a feat they’ve managed in all 4 games so far. Good luck today folks

Price on your nap at Skybet now is 0.3/1…that’s some drop

Ignore that about the NAP…I must have clicked on 4+ corners. Apologies
That would have been some price drop 😅 was sitting 0.9/1 last night so half expected it to drop back down to that again some point today.

Trujillanos to score 10-11 (HILLS) 🇻🇪 NAP/NB.
double stake as no side bet.
BTTS is evens so no point bothering.
BTTS and overs 11-10 but again not enough difference in price.
Trujillanos are rubbish so far losing to nil four times before actually scoring last time v zulia.
Hoping they can continue to find the net v newly promoted hermanos who seem defensively sound but the onus is on the to seal the deal v terrible trujillanos which could lead to a consolation for the hosts.
Prediction 1-2

All looked great for the Nap early doors but a 36th minute red for Venezia kiboshed the corner count – still, they made up for it with a late equaliser to bring in the draw!
